At first, the matter of Jungkook's webpage post was kept within his fan circle, but it didn't stay that way for long. Soon, more and more people caught on until the fire spread to the major web forums and the mass media.

By afternoon, a number of the media channels on TV was broadcasting his public confession as the latest hot news. Though none of them could claim it as the confirmed truth, they speculated that it was Jungkook himself who had posted the confession. With this, the topic garnered more attention, and the topic trended everywhere.

The names of those who had been involved in a rumor with Jungkook before were all dug up and taken into consideration for the great debate on the identity of Jung kook's true love.

[Who is Film Emperor Jeon's true love? Leave a comment on the top ten female stars!]

[Who is the most compatible with Film Emperor Jeon? Take a guess, everyone!]

[Film Emperor Jeon, you must not have a true love. You belong to everyone. You can't belong to one individual person!]

Jungkook chose to be an observer as he watched the news and the web buzz about him. His expression shifted multiple times, but ultimately, he refrained from doing anything.

He wanted to announce that he liked Lisa, but he couldn't. Even if he himself didn't mind, he had to be considerate of Lisa. He refused to implicate her and make her into a topic for the public to discuss. Therefore, his best option now was to remain silent and neither admit nor deny.

Actually, his omission could also be considered a way to deal with the predicament. This way, he wouldn't need to worry about the possibility of himself unintentionally saying something that would add fuel to the fire.

For many of the celebrities in the entertainment circle, anything that wasn't a scandal or a harmful rumor could simply be ignored. The talk did not affect them, and who knows? Maybe it would actually improve their images.

Nonetheless, there were evidently still quite a few people who were dissatisfied with Jungkook's silence. For example, his agent: Kai.

As Kai walked into Lisa's office, his resolve was already starting to crumble. It wasn't that he felt bad about coming to tattletale. It was because he was actually a bit scared of the cold air that emanated from Lisa's entire being.

"President Lisa, I take it that you've heard about Jungkook's situation?" Kai nquired cautiously, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

"Mhm," Lisa acknowledged. Inside, she was feeling a bit displeased with the agent. This man's smile was so disgusting. Wouldn't seeing it make Jungkook uncomfortable? Should she get him a new agent then?

"Um, Jungkookdecided to make unauthorized decisions by himself and caused rumors to spread. He refuses to let me intervene, and the effects of this incident are not good. There are already several fans protesting, and as you know, he won't listen to me. Can you help me persuade him? Although he's the Film Emperor now, taking things too far in this circle can still be harmful to his career. I'm doing all of this for his sake, but he's being a bit too ungrateful. I was only able to say a few words before he started to threaten me about changing agents. It's really disappointing."

Kai himself was a rather well-known agent in the entertainment circle. He was an expert at favor with others, and he possessed both means and connections. His fault laid in his stinginess.

After he took on Jungkook and elevated him from a newcomer status to being the Film Emperor, Kai naturally became even more arrogant and complacent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the guts to come and tell on Jungkoo.

From beginning to end, Lisa listened with an expressionless face. The more she listened, the more she wanted to scold herself. This was the kind of agent she'd assigned to Jung kook1? Another instance of blindness?

"It is indeed a bit disappointing," she remarked coldly. The meaning behind her words was something only she knew. Kai was very pleased, since he assumed that she was speaking on his behalf. He didn't know the relationship between her and Jungkook; if he did, he wouldn't have dared to call Jungkook out.

"President Lisa, you're as sensible as I expected. Then, please help me talk to him. A disobedient artist is hard to manage, I..." Kai's intention was to borrow Lisa's power to suppress Jungkook and force him to be more compliant.

However, Lisa cut him off before he could finish speaking.

"In that case, you don't have to manage him anymore. I will arrange a new agent for Jungkook. As for you, I'll make some arrangements too."

"Ah? That wasn't my intention, what I meant was..." Kai found himself rather dumbfounded as he hastened to explain. Unfortunately, he was rudely interrupted by Lisa again.

"This is my intention. You can leave now." As she dismissed him, she was already thinking about how she should deal with this Kai. She wasn't naive enough to assume that just switching out the agent would be enough.

Since Kai dared to come to complain, then there was also a possibility of him daring to do other things too.

She had promised to protect Jungkook, and she would do it thoroughly. She didn't want him to be swept up in any unnecessary drama.

Kai staggered out of the office. Lisa immediately turned to give Chen a few lines of instructions.

Jungkook was surprised to learn that his agent had been changed. He was even more surprised to learn that his new agent was none other than Lisa's personal assistant, Chen. When Jungkook arrived at the company, Chen was already there waiting for him.

"Mr. Jeon, I hope that we'll be able to get along and work together well." Chen was capable of becoming Lisa's assistant, so naturally, becoming Jungkook's agent was also absolutely no problem at all. Rather, he was overqualified, which caused  Jungkook to feel skeptical.

"Assistant Chen, did President Lisa really make this arrangement herself?" What did she mean by making her assistant his agent?

"Yes, but I am still President Lisa's assistant, so there will be times when my work schedules collide. I hope you will be considerate of that." Chen's job was already busy, to begin with. Even though he was now Jungkook's assistant too, he wouldn't be able to follow Jungkook around all day.

Fortunately, Lisa understood this. Two assistants were assigned to Jungkook, and the top priority to the company's resources was granted to him too. That way, Chen would have less to do as an

After Jungkook heard about everything, he didn't know what to feel. Ever since he agreed to marry her, the company's resources had been available to him. Several people were jealous of him over this, but the support he received had never gone this far before.

"President Lisa really said that from now on, the top priority to the company's resources will belong to me?"

"Yes," Chen nodded firmly.

"Why?" Jungkook didn't believe that she was doing it because of their contract. After all, they had almost gotten a divorce.

"This, you'll have to ask President Lisa."

Chen was curious about President Lisa's decisions too. Could it be that she actually fell in love with Jungkook, so for the sake of love, she decided to throw caution to the wind?

That train of thought was quickly refuted by the image of Lisa's cold face and the indifferent tone she had used when she gave him those commands.
