Since then, Taehyung visited Starlight General Merchandise every few days. It was unknown whether he was coming in order to see Jungkook or to see that beautiful girl.
In the eyes of the staff, however, he was always coming to see Director J.
(A/N: 🤭🤭🤭)
After Jungkook finished his meeting, he opened the door to his office and immediately caught sight of Taehyung sitting inside. He walked up to him and looked down saying,
"Is your company about to close down?"
Taehyung blinked.
"It was fine when I left."
"Then why are you this idle?"
Taehyung waved his hand. "Because my father and sister are working hard."
Jungkook: "..."
I applaud his lack of shame.
"How about I come here to work?" Taehyung suddenly stood up and gazed at Jungkook with doe eyes.
"Working in the department store is so good. Not only is there beautiful sales staff, all the customers that come here to shop are pretty girls. This is simply heaven."
Jungkook walked to his office chair and sat down, ignoring him. Taehyung spoke up once more. "Although, Lisa mei mei didn't come to work today! I didn't see her just now; such a shame."
Jungkook continued to deal with documents on his computer, still not paying him any attention. Taehyung, unwilling to remain lonely, moved closer to him. "How come you didn't warn me not to hit on your staff today?"
Jungkook finally opened his mouth to speak. "Because I believe in their visions."
Taehyung: "..."
He deflated like a tire, randomly slapping Jungkook's office table twice before saying to him, "Okay, okay. Stop focusing on work; it's time to eat! Come on, I'll treat you to some western-style food."
He dragged Jungkook to City A's top-rate restaurant--Seascape Dining. Coincidentally, Jennie had also arranged to eat with Lisa there that day.
***
"You have already stayed at Starlight General Merchandise for half a month; how much longer do you need to work there?" Jennie sliced the steak in front of her as she asked Lisa this.
Lisa held her fork in one hand, a piece of well-done steak pierced on it. When she finished eating it, she said, "Should stay until after Christmas. A lot more shopping is done at the end of the year. It's very busy, and Fantasy Wardrobe's special Christmas campaign is already being planned."
Jennie calculated the timing and said to her, "Fine. I'm thinking of going on a trip at the beginning of the year. Do you want to go with me?"
"I can't. I need to hurriedly draw the new project. Without an income, my heart panics terribly."
Jennie was not surprised by Lisa's reply, but what kind of ghost was no income?
"You're still saying you have no income? Go calculate yourself how many copyrights you have sold recently. Even if you don't draw right now, you will still have income from doing nothing."
"But if I draw, I can make even more income."
Jennie: "..."
Why did she have to discuss these things with a money grubber... Written on Lisa's face right now was: You're right, but I choose money.
Since Lisa loved money, this problem came up whenever she talked with her.
"Some dress-up games want to buy copyright of your clothing designs and turn it into a game for dress-up enthusiasts to play. They want a long-term cooperation with you and willl immediately open a new game series. Later, when you design new clothes, they'll continue to buy so that they can expand. The business contract still hasn't been finalized, but the other party's opening price is considerably high."
Lisa nodded and replied, "Not bad. Send me the contract to look at after the negotiations are finalised. Is it the dress-up game I'm currently playing?"
"Yes. Do you intend to give them a discount?"
"Of course not."
Jennie snickered and commented, "See, you're on the verge of obtaining another large income. This meal, shouldn't you be treating?"
Lisa said, "So you're not taking a cut then? If you aren't, then my treat."
Jennie: "..."
While the two of them chatted, Jungkook and Taehyung walked through the door. When Lisa drank her water, she raised her head and saw them.
Ke-ke- She choked on her water for a moment and coughed lightly. Jennie's gaze shifted to her. She asked, "What, some acquaintances of yours?"
Lisa didn't reply, but Jennie had also caught sight of Jungkook and Taehyung--the moment two men with this level of handsomeness entered through the door, they attracted the gazes of several ladies.
Jennie stared at them for a while, her brows creasing.
"Why do I feel that the person to the left looks somewhat familiar?"
She thought for a moment before suddenly exclaiming, "Is that Master Jeon of Starlight General Merchandise?"
Ke-- Lisa choked for a moment before promptly saying to Lin Zhen, "Quiet down a little."
Jennie lowered her voice accordingly, her gaze still fixated in Jungkook and his companion's direction.
"He is more handsome in person than in the photos the paparazzi takes! No wonder you don't want to leave your job at Starlight General Merchandise."
Lisa: "..."
That's not why.
"Do you know that person beside him? Is he also part of Starlight General Merchandise?"
"Eh, that person beside him..."
Lisa recalled the recent sex scandal gossip that had been circulating amongst the staff, "...is his friend."
"Oh, it seems that he is also a son of a rich family."
Lisa didn't say anything, burying her head down and eating her steak in silence.
Jungkook and Taehyung didn't see them sitting to the side. After they ordered their dishes, they began to chat.
"Look at you, surrounded by so many beautiful girls every day, yet you only know work. You're too unromantic."
Taehyung earnestly educated Jungkook. "Even the paparazzi worries on your behalf and matches you with all those girlfriends."
Jungkook chuckled softly and said, "If you're envious, then you can spend a bit of money and have the paparazzi write you one as well."
"Pah, those female stars don't even enter my eyes."
"Oh, then who can catch Master Tae's eyes?"
Taehyung's gaze fell onto the female violinist performing on stage. She was wearing a black evening gown, her long hair fluttering around her. She appeared very classy. Tang Zheng raised his eyebrow. "That violinist is pretty good."
Jungkook tilted his head to take a look before saying to him, "Why do you always fancy people who will never fancy you?"
Taehyung: "..."
Hehe!
He raised his hand to beckon a waiter and said to him, "Can you please ask Miss Violinist to come over here? I want to ask her to play a song for me."
"Yes, please wait a moment."
The waiter courteously bowed to him before going on stage to ask the lady. Soon after, the lady carried her violin with her as she walked over. She smiled at them. "Good afternoon, what would the two of you like to hear?"
Taehyung's smile towards her became even sweeter. "《...》, gift it to..."
He originally wanted to say, to you, but he rethought his action, feeling that it would make him appear too frivolous. He improvised.
"Gift it to this gentleman across from me."
The girl stared at them blankly for a moment before smiling and nodding.
"Okay."
She raised her violin and slowly began to play. 《Salut d'Amour》 was a song everyone was familiar with and was often used to declare one's love.
The melodious violin melody resonated throughout the restaurant. Lisa could also hear it.
(A/N: Pfft! Idiot 😂)
She glanced over and coughed lightly.
Wow, even violin music. These two are really romantic...
Taehyung continued to chat with Jungkook as he listened to this violin performance.
"What were we saying just now? Oh, we were talking about how you shouldn't work all day long. Don't you see how Jeon Soobin take Ryujin abroad to have fun for so long and still has yet to return? Your younger brother knows how to enjoy life way more than you."
The corners of Jungkook's mouth curved. He looked at the man across from him and said, "If you like him, then you should seek him out to keep you company for lunch."
Taehyung had known Jungkook since university. He didn't entirely understand the Jungkook before that time, but he could faintly sense that Jungkook didn't like mentioning this younger brother.
Sensing that Jungkook was apparently irritated, Taehyung promptly smiled and said, "I naturally like you the most!"
(A/N: WTF! It's over 🤣🤣)
Distracted from playing the violin, the girl glanced at them before nonchalantly continuing to play.
The song ended, and the waiter delivered their orders as well. Taehyung gave the girl a very large tip. Holding the violin, the girl bowed to them in thanks before turning around and leaving.
She and the waiter who had delivered their meal walked together in the same direction. Just as they passed Lisa and Jennie's table, where the two of them were eating their meals quietly, they accidentally heard the girl whisper to the waiter beside her,
"As soon as I came over, he requested that I gift the song, 《Salut d'Amour》, to that handsome guy sitting across from him. He even said that he liked that guy the most."
Lisa: "..."
Jennie: "..."
The air suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Jennie pursed her lips and looked at Lisa. "Your Director Jeon..."
Lisa stopped her from speaking further. "If you see the truth, do not speak it. They are still best friends."
Jennie closed her mouth and nodded.
A moment later, however, she couldn't help but say, "I finally realize why those paparazzi write gossip about Master Jeon without bias. He also doesn't care. Rather than him being even-tempered, it's because he depends on the gossip to give himself protection. His methods are too deep!"
Lisa: "..."
Jungkook and Taehyung finally caught sight of her and Jennie when they left. Taehyung seemed to be particularly excited and called out to them immediately.
"Is this Lisa mei mei? I didn't see you at Starlight General Merchandise today. I didn't expect to be able to see you here. We are truly brought together by fate."
Lisa saw no escape and forced herself to smile at them. "Hello, Director J. Hello, Mr. Kim."
Jeon Jungkook said, "You don't need to call me director outside of work."
He glanced in their direction before asking her, "You have already finished eating?"
"Yes, we won't disturb your meal anymore." She nodded towards them again before dragging Jennie to the exit.
Jennies's Baby Tesla was parked outside. She pulled out her key and pressed it, causing her car to beep.
"Master Jeon is even more handsome in close range! Moreover, his voice is also nice to listen to. What a pity..."
At the same time as she regretted this discovery, Taehyung raised his head to signal Jungkook to look outside. "That friend of hers drives a Tesla. This car costs over five million or so yuan."
"So?"
Taehyung looked at him. "You don't find this strange? According to Lisa's pay, it's impossible for her to have such expensive clothes! The clothes she's wearing today are all very popular."
Jungkook looked at him mockingly. "You also have this much of an understanding of women's clothing?"
"My ex-girlfriend liked those the most. I bought so many for her, it would be difficult not to understand,"
Taehyung sneered. "That's not the main point. I previously sensed that Lisa seems to have something against men. Do you think...she's lesbian?"
Jungkook: "......"
(A/N: Oh no! 😆)
Although he more or less felt that Lisa had something against men, he didn't support Taehyung's theory.
"I think you think too much."
"If not, then how could she be so aloof to an excellent quality man like me?"
"It indicates that her vision and mind are sound."
Taehyung: "..."
He smiled at Jungkook. "Do you know why your younger brother is engaged while you still don't have a girlfriend?"
Jungkook replied, "Because I don't lack taste like him."
Taehyung: "..."
When all was said and done, were his words scolding Soobin or scolding Ryujin?
Jungkook didn't continue this conversation about his younger brother with Taehyung. He merely drank some water and said, "I've seen Lisa's CV. Her middle school was an all-girl's school. I presume she probably isn't used to a lot of contact with men."
