Lisa shook her head. "No, I just wanted to give my mom more time. After all, her health isn't so good, and I'm afraid she can't handle it."
Jungkook gazed at Lisa's eyes for a long time, ultimately losing to their sincerity.
"Alright then, we'll do things your way."
Then, Jungkook got up to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Back to the company." As he spoke, Jungkook took off his scrub suit and began to head out.
"Why don't you leave after you eat something? There's an employee cafeteria downstairs." Lisa immediately regretted her words. How could someone like Jungkook eat at an employee cafeteria?
"No, I'm fine."
Sure enough, he declined.
Just as he reached the door, Jungkook turned around as if he suddenly remembered something. He took the warm cup of water and drank it all in.
"Tastes pretty good." Once again, Jungkook turned around to leave.
Lisa stood there dumbfounded. Just how good-tasting could a cup of water be?
When Jungkook returned to JC, he was greeted by a freaked out Assistant Lee.
The president had disappeared for five hours. With his cell phone turned off, no affair, big or small, could be discussed with him.
This led him to request instructions from the chairman of the board. As a result, the chairman overreacted and ordered everyone to look for the president.
They were even about to call the police...
"Mr. Jeon, you're finally back." Assistant Lee looked miserable.
"What happened?"
"An important document required your signature but your phone was off. I ultimately called the chairman, and he handled the situation. But..."
"Keep going."
"But the chairman was worried about your safety. Many people from the corporation were out looking for your car throughout the entire city. They thought that you were in an accident. Mr. Jeon, where did you go?"
"Do I need to tell you my whereabouts?" Jungkook glanced at Assistant Lee coldly.
"No no, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about your safety. Plus, there are too many things to take care of at the corporation. I can't handle everything if you disappear for five hours."
"If being an assistant at JC was so easy, would I pay you as much as you are getting paid?" Jungkook asked.
Assistant Lee was immediately speechless.
But there was merit to his words. Wasn't it the assistant's responsibility to handle miscellaneous tasks for the president?
"Mr. Jeon, these documents require your signature. Please look them over."
"Fine." Jungkook nodded, looking tired.
"Mr. Jeon, you don't look well."
"Pour me a glass of water," Jungkook instructed.
"Of course."
Assistant Lee placed a cup of warm water on the desk cautiously.
Looking at the tall pile of files, Jungkook took a sip of water from the glass.
His brows furrowed.
"What's wrong Mr. Jeon? Is the water too cold?"
"Why is it so tasteless?" raising his head, Jungkook asked in a serious tone.
