This picture was of her and Jungkook!

Lalisa stretched her phone out and showed it to Jungkook, "Isn't this us?"

Jungkook took one look at the phone before nodding his head. Lalisa looked at the picture again and suddenly started smiling.

Jungkook raised one eyebrow, "Why are you smiling?"

Lalisa ran over to Jungkook and showed him the picture, "Isn't this picture cute? Look at the height difference between us, it's perfect! And the angle of the picture looks like I'm leaning onto you. Ah. . . when will this true sweet love come to me?"

Jungkook took a quick glance at Lalisa and stopped himself from saying, 'I can give it to you.'

Lalisa quickly downloaded the picture and saved it as her home screen, "This is probably the closest I will get to a sweet love story."

Gu Yechen's face slightly darkened as he wondered if he was invisible. . . Or was he not attractive enough?

The person who posted the image pointed Lalisa out and the comments were all talking about the guy next to her and who he was.

Jungkook sent Lalisa home after the meal and he was in such a good mood that he decided to not go to the company after Lalisa was gone.

Even Eunwoo was let off the hook and was allowed to go home and enjoy his precious weekend.

The next morning, Lalisa entered the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves. She tied her hair up into a bun and stuck a chopstick through it professionally.

"Young miss, what are you doing here in the kitchen?" The chef ran over to Lalisa and eyed her up and down. The pink apron was a little too big for her and her bun was slowly falling apart.

"I'm here to make cookies!"

Lalisa wasn't the type of person to rip off another person's money although the thought of it was quite intriguing. She didn't have much to give to Jungkook since he didn't really lack anything, so she was going to make cookies for him!

After the chef had left the kitchen, Lalisa pulled out the recipe and gathered all of the ingredients.

Crack the egg. . . Add the sugar. . . Mix. . . Is there supposed to be eggshells in the mixture?

Add the flour. . .

Lalisa quickly turned off the electric mixer as she turned around to cough. Why did the flour fly all over the air?

After she had finished all the steps except baking, the kitchen had turned into a mess. Flour covered the walls and tables, and several ingredients had spilled onto the table and ground.

"Perfect!" Lalisa smiled at her masterpiece and put it into the oven.

An hour later, Lalisa was on the way to the Jeon Corporation. She entered the cold building and walked to the front desk.

"Hello, miss." The front desk lady politely bowed towards He Xinyan and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

"I'm looking for your CEO, Jeon Jungkook."

The front desk worker took a step back and her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"Sorry, ma'am. I can't let you in if you don't have an appointment." The front desk lady sat back down in her chair, making it clear that there was no further discussion necessary.

Lalisa sighed before pulling out her phone.

'I'm in your front lobby but the worker won't let me in. . .' She included a crying emoji at the end of her text before sending it over to Jungkook.

Ding! In the middle of an intense meeting, a phone rang. At once, everyone in the room stiffened and silently cursed at whoever forgot to close their phone.

The next second, the man sitting at the front of the glass table picked up his phone.

. . . Take that back. . . Nobody just cursed. . .

"Meeting adjourned." The man stood up and walked out of the room, leaving a table of confused people. The shareholders in the room looked at each other silently before they slowly left the room one by one.

The front desk lady looked up at the woman still waiting on the couch and sighed. Should she go shoo her away? But that would be rude. . .

The next second, a flash of black appeared in front of the woman and her view was blocked. The worker narrowed her eyes and took a second look at the person that just arrived.

Why did he look familiar?

Bang! The heavy chair tipped over and created a loud sound as it slammed onto the ground. The front desk later ran over to the couch with wide eyes and stammered, "Jeon. . . CEO Jeon!"

Jungkook looked at the worker for a second and knit his eyebrows together. Without replying, he grabbed onto Lalisa's hand and led her over to the elevator.

The worker watched as they disappeared and sat down onto the couch. That woman. . . Lalisa!

"Why did you come over?" Jungkook asked inside the elevator. Lalisa didn't respond right away as she stared at her hand, which was still inside Jungkook's long and slender fingers.

Jungkook followed her gaze and looked down at their touching hands. He hesitantly let go of her hand and sighed. When can he hold onto her hand in public with her consent too?

Lalisa felt the sudden emptiness in her hand and frowned slightly. His hand was really large and warm. . .

"I'm here to pay you back!"

Jungkook lifted one eyebrow, "Pay me back? For what?"

"Well. . . You ended up paying for everything yesterday, so I have something for you today!" A cute smile appeared on Lalisa's face as she looked up at Jungkook, making his heart melt.

Where was his camera?! Eunwoo! Camera!! He wanted to save this smile and keep it to himself. He didn't want her to show this smile to anyone else.

The elevator door opened and Lalisa walked out first so she didn't see the gentle smile on Jungkook's face.

Jungkook used his fingerprint to open the door into his office and Lalisa walked inside. She had been into her dad's personal office before, but it was only half the size of this one. . .

The room was designed with brown and black colors, and there was a full-length glass to the front, letting in the sunlight and city scenery.

"Your office is huge!" Lalisa walked around before sitting down on the black couch to the left of the room.

Jungkook sat down next to her and asked curiously, "What do you have for me?"

Lalisa smiled and pulled out a glass jar, "Cookies!" She opened the lid, "I made them myself! Ah, this is my first time making cookies, so they might not taste so good. Actually. . . this is my first time making anything, but I think I'm pretty talented. Do you want to try one?"

Jungkook took the round cookie out of Lalisa's hand and took a bite. He raised one eyebrow as he slowly took another bite.

This cookie. . .
