Lalisa was speechless seeing how Eunbi was so eager and afraid that she might take her credit.
She scoffed and turned her head away because she was not interested in taking her credit. She folded her hands by her chest and snickered seeing her enthusiasm.
Moreover, it's not like she did everything herself. Everything is done by the servants.
She just asked them to do the work properly and don't slack off.
' Is that count as doing everything? She only knows how to take credit for good things and for things which go wrong, she puts all the blame on someone else.'
Jeongguk looked at Eunbi and pursed his lips. He didn't say anything and just stood there by Lalisa's side.
It was embarrassing that Eunbi was behaving but he didn't say anything to her.
Lalisa looked at Mingyu as she smiled lightly and said, " Consort Eunbi is right. She is the one who arranged all of this. This kind of arrangement is not my style." she said with a smile on her face.
Hearing her words, Eunbi's smile disappeared as she looked at Lalisa with displeasure.
' How can she say something like this? Is she saying that her arrangement is not good?'
Mingyu looked at Lalisa with an amused expression and chuckled lightly.
He never expected this kind of response from her.
She is not like the way he has expected her to be. In the past, she never said something so savage in response to Eunbi's stubborn and sarcastic remarks.
Whereas Jeongguk turned to look at Lalisa from the sides as his lips curled upwards.
He could see her smiling expression like she said nothing was much more amusing.
...
Eunbi glared at Lalisa and was cursing her inwardly. She could see the smile on Jeongguk and Mingyu's face.
She also heard Mingyu chuckling when he heard Lalisa's words.
" Sister, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that you didn't like my arrangements? Are you saying that you could have done better than this?" Eunbi tried to be as polite as possible.
. She doesn't want Jeongguk to see her angry side and does not want him to think that she is a crude woman who would get upset over this small thing.
Lalisa looked at Eunbi mildly and blinked her eyes innocently.
" I didn't mean anything like this. I was just saying that it was you who did all the work. I was just explaining Brother Mingyu that it was your work, because it's not my style, ' meaning it has not been done by me.'"
" How can both of our styles be the same? If different people are doing the work then their style will be different as well. That's what I am trying to say. "
" I hope you didn't take these words otherwise," she said with a casual smile on her face.
Mingyu pursed his lips as he was trying to hide his low chuckle.
The way he said her words by coating them into sugar was amazing. He never expected that she would make a fool of Eunbi by twisting her words.
Eunbi pursed her lips when she saw how Lalisa was trying to be smart in the presence of Mingyu and Jeongguk.
She bit her lower lip and forced her to say, " It's okay. I didn't take your words otherwise."
After this little exchange, Jeongguk and Lalisa wanted to sit down.
Jeongguk walked towards Eunbi's side and wanted to sit there with Lalisa because he does not want Lalisa to sit near Mingyu.
When Jeongguk walked towards Eunbi, Eunbi was gladdened thinking that he came to sit beside her.
But in truth, he wanted to separate Lalisa from Mingyu.
Eunbi smiled shyly and gave Lalisa a smug look saying that' See. He couldn't resist my charm, that's why he came to me leaving you alone.'
Lalisa saw Eunbi's gaze and felt that she was childish.
She couldn't understand what she was trying to say. ' why the hell she was raising her brows continuously?'
However, Lalisa was not happy the way Jeongguk went to sit beside Eunbi.
Though there was still another spare cushion beside Jeongguk. There were three cushions placed on the other side.
And if she also went there, Jeongguk will be sitting between Eunbi and her.
She didn't like this arrangement. This was the same arrangement at the banquet as well.
When Jeongguk went to another side, Lalisa didn't follow him and saw the spare cushion beside Mingyu and sat down.
Jeongguk who was patting Lalisa's cushion for her gesturing her to sit there, but she ignored him and sat beside Mingyu.
This startled Mingyu because she suddenly said there and he was not expecting it at all.
She was being too willful by ignoring Jeongguk like this.
" Lalisa, come and sit here." Jeongguk's expressions darkened seeing her sitting beside Mingyu.
He couldn't believe that she sat beside Mingyu and ignored him outrightly.
Lalisa glanced at him and showed him his polite smile and said, " Your highness, it's better that I sit here. Because you're sitting with Consort Eunbi and if I also joined you there, then that side will become crowded and here brother Mingyu has to sit alone."
" It's not right. We have invited him for dinner and if we make him sit alone, it will be rude. That's not a good thing to do. " she pursed her lips and forced a smile on her face.
' Hah. If you can sit with Eunbi then what' s wrong with me sitting with Mingyu? '
Jeongguk pursed his lips tightly as he stared at Lalisa.
His temper was mounting as he didn't like this situation. She was ignoring his words in front of Mingyu and went to sit beside him. Even he is his brother, but he could sense the Mingyu's different attitude towards Lalisa.
" Lalisa, it's not proper for us to sit separately. You're my Empress. Your seat is beside me." Jeongguk said in a low plain voice. He was trying to reason with her without getting angry.
He tried hard to control his temper and say his words in a low voice as possible.
Lalisa could feel that he didn't like the way she sat beside Mingyu.
She looked down and pondered over the situation. Jeongguk saw her thinking over something and didn't say anything.
" Your highness, if Sister wants to sit beside brother Mingyu, then let it be. She wanted to talk separately with brother Mingyu, that's why she sat there. You should not mind her and let her sit there." Eunbi tried to convince Jeongguk so that Lalisa will not come to her side
Eunbi's words were provoking rather than convincing. This made Jeongguk's brows frown.
However, before she could continue, Lalisa stood up and walked to their side.
But she didn't sit beside Jeongguk's right, instead, she said to him," Your highness, then can you move to this side? I wanted to talk to Consort Eunbi about something."
Jeongguk was surprised when she suddenly came and asked him to move to the side.
His lips curled up in a smile and didn't say anything and followed her instructions. He was glad to move away.
Lalisa sat at Jeongguk's spot. This way, she was sitting in the middle with Eunbi on her left and Jeongguk on her right.
Eunbi stared at Lalisa with a shocked expression. She couldn't believe that Lalisa asked Jeongguk to shift away.
Now she was sitting away from Jeongguk. She glared at Lalisa for her behavior and wanted to punch her but controlled her temper.
' She is such a bitch!' Eunbi cursed Lalisa inwardly. She didn't like the way she moved Jeongguk away from her.
