Lisa is a smart woman. When she noticed his expression, she didn't push it further and changed the topic: "What about the project, is there any certainty?"

Jimin raised his eyebrows and turned his head toward her: "What do you think?"

"Yes!" Lisa said while laughing.

Jimin turned his head back on the road and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was gleaming with danger. He really looked forward to seeing Taemin, he wanted to see his expression when he saw him again.

A sinister smile crept into his face thinking about this.

Taemin was on a business trip for a few days and when he returned to Seoul, he received bad news. As soon as he left the airport, he dialed his phone: "How could it be stolen? What a bunch of useless people! Have they signed the contract?"

"Not yet."

"If they haven't signed it means that we still have a chance, useless!" Taemin had his people put his baggage on the trunk then opened the door and got in. "Arranged a meeting with President Cho, I have to take on this project. Oh right, which domestic company is trying to steal this project?"

Taemin held the most power in Seoul, especially in business. He was furious thinking about which company was brave enough to challenge his power. He was ready to teach them a lesson or two.

"It's not a domestic company. It's a Thailand-Singapore based company, Manobal International Inc..."

"Manobal International Inc?" Taemin frowned.

He heard that they just purchased the Song company this afternoon and now they tried to snatch his project? Ridiculous!

"Send me documents about Manobal International Inc immediately."

Taemin hung up as soon as he said it then turned on his tablet. Yoongi had gathered all the information about Manobal International Inc in no time.

The Manobal International Inc was established by the Manobal family, who is a Thai ethnic living in Singapore. The chairman died a year ago and the company was passed to his only daughter, Lalisa Manobal.

Despite being an only heir, her position was not steady because her father has a brother who wanted to take over the company.

After reading it all, he called President Cho to invite him for dinner.

"You're too kind, President Lee."

"I should be." Taemin smiled. "It's been a long time since our last dinner and I just got back from my business trip, let's have dinner."

"I was also invited for a dinner by the Manobal International Inc tonight and they seem to be interested in the project. What about you join us?"

Taemin wanted to know more about this company because they tried to snatch his project. "Sure."

After he hung up then shortly he got the message about the details of the meeting. He then went straight to the location. When he arrived in front of a private room, the waiter opened the door for him.

The people inside the room turned their heads to see him. He looked around until he saw one specific figure. Even though Taemin was good at keeping his poker face, it was clear he was shocked to see the man in front of him. But he was quick to hide his feelings.

But Jimin already saw it.

President Cho pointed at a seat: "President Lee, please take a seat."

Taemin entered the room and took a seat. He eyed Jimin and the beautiful woman beside him. He just saw a photo of this woman, it was Lalisa Manobal of Manobal International Inc.

Taemin thought he really underestimated Jimin. He disappeared for two years, everyone thought he was dead but now he appeared in front of him out of the blue. No wonder this company wanted to snatch his project!

It turned out that Park Jimin is cooperating with Manobal International Inc.

President Cho smiled: "President Park, President Lee, you both have met before. I don't need to introduce you, right?" He joked.

Taemin chuckled. "Of course we know each other."

"President Park had left Seoul for two years, it's good to have a dinner gathering right..." President Cho smiled.

The waiters took a few bottles of champagne inside. It was obvious that he was happy and excited. He even personally poured Jimin's and Taemin's glass. "Come one President Park, President Lee, Ms Manobal. Let's have a toast and get drunk tonight..."

Taemin stopped him: "President Cho, it's not wise if we're drunk while discussing a serious matter."

He was startled and stared at Jimin and Lisa, then he shifted his gaze back to Taemin. "What serious matter? I just invited you to dinner..."

"I came here tonight to accompany you to have dinner then we need to have a discussion regarding our project. We already had an agreement about all the conditions, but why did you change your mind after I came back from my business trip?"

Jimin was quiet from the start. He leaned on his chair, smoking his cigarette nonchalantly. He put his hand on the table, he seemed calm as he kept watching the both of them.

Lisa also seemed to enjoy herself. She propped her chin up with her hands, watching them.

President Cho's face turned dark: "What are you talking about President Lee? I have not changed my mind. We haven't decided on anything yet. We just talked before your business trip. To be frank, you didn't even come to the reception we held in Singapore. You didn't seem to care much about it but President Park and Ms Manobal are different, they're both sincere. For working together on a project, it needs mutual agreement, right?"

He knows exactly what type of person Taemin is. He might seem noble but he is treacherous and murderous. He would do dirty tricks to get what he wants. To be honest, he was afraid Taemin would avenge him because he decided to cooperate with Jimin. But he had no other way because on the other hand, he was also afraid that if he cooperated with Taemin and one day he fell, then what should he do?

He chose Jimin because of his consideration. Even though Jimin had left for two years, he returned as a fiance of Manobal International Inc's heir. He also currently held a high position in the company, he was obviously a powerful man too. He shouldn't look down on him. Moreover, he worked with Jimin in the past. Even though Jimin's tricks were also ruthless, at least he had his own principle.

Taemin, on the other hand, is someone with no boundaries. In these past two years, he kept proving people that. Business people in Seoul knew about this.

"So you're saying you refused to work with me?" Taemin narrowed his eyes and laughed.

"President Lee, do you understand what mutual agreement is? He clearly tells you that he doesn't want to work with you, do you understand?" Lisa smiled. "Someone like you shouldn't do business, you will only scare all of your business partners away."

"Ms Manobal really has a sharp mouth." Taemin smiled and shook his head. "Hey Jimin, I see why you like her. But I don't remember you like a strong woman before. Do you remember the incident in a jewelry store? It was a headline for weeks. President Cho remembers it too, right?"

Taemin's eyes changed but he was still smiling.

"If President Lee came to talk about the project then it's too late. We just signed the contract." Lisa dropped the bomb as she really wanted to see what he would do about it. Would he explode?

Taemin's face immediately dropped. He turned his head to see President Lee: "Are you playing with me?"

"President Lee, how could you say something like that to me? I never said that we'd be going to discuss the project, I only asked if you want to join us for dinner."

"Lee Taemin, you really can't accept defeat. But what should we do?" Jimin smiled. "This is only just the beginning, in no time, you will lose everything. I will make you fall until you can't climb up again. But don't worry, when that happens, I won't let you see the light. What do you think?"

Taemin stood up and lifted the whole table. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Jimin. "I will look forward to it then. This game is getting more interesting. Park Jimin, since you're back, let's play again. Don't even try to retreat, I will give my all to win this game."

He took his coat and left the room.

President Cho looked at the mess and Taemin's terrifying face was on his mind. He couldn't help but to feel worried. He didn't know if that dangerous man would seek revenge on him. "President Park, this..."

"Don't worry, this is between me and him."

Lisa followed Jimin leaving the restaurant. She knew that Jimin returned to Seoul to take Taemin down and take back everything that belonged to his Park family. But snatching the project from Taemin is like snatching a project from his own company which is the Park company. Even though Taemin had changed its name to the Lee company, it's still the Park company at the end of the day.

Lisa was worried: "If we keep attacking Taemin in business, doesn't it mean like attacking your own company?"

Jimin, who was driving his car, turned his head to see her: "Are you afraid that the Park company will be affected?"

She nodded.

"Even if the Park company is going to go bankrupt, I'm not afraid." Jimin firmly said.

Lisa then realized she was overthinking. With Jimin's ability, even though the Park company went bankrupt, he would be able to fix it.

"I'll send you home."

"I want to see Joonie."

Jimin stared at the window and said: "It's late, maybe tomorrow."

"It seems that everyone knows you're back now. You are worried that the media will report me being at your house, aren't you? You are afraid that Y/N will see it and she will be disappointed."

Jimin regarded her words as a joke and he didn't say anything.

"It's been a year since my daddy passed away. I am grateful to you, if it wasn't for you, I couldn't imagine what the company would be like..." Lisa recalled those moments.

"It's reciprocal. No worries."

Lisa shook her head. Two years ago, she was shopping in Bangkok but suddenly there was a gunfight. Of course, because of her status, her father always had bodyguards to protect her. When she was trying to escape, she encountered Jimin who was dying at that time. Her first instinct was to help him and ever since she helped him, she was thankful for it. If she only thought about herself that time, perhaps she wouldn't take control of Manobal International Inc because her uncle would've snatched it away from her.

Jimin was unconscious for months then he spent a year looking for his son. Lisa's father really liked him, he thought that he's perfect for his only daughter. It wasn't only once or twice had he ever expressed his wish for them to be together but Jimin was indifferent to the idea. A year ago, her father had a car accident. Before he died, he asked to see Jimin. He wished that he would help Lisa to take over the company and said he also wished that he would marry her.

But obviously Jimin rejected the idea, he couldn't just marry her. He then thought of a way to help Lisa, he would be her fiance until Lisa could control the company and get a stable position and respect.

At that time, in people's eyes, Jimin could be on top again because of Lisa and her father but it was only them who knew that Jimin didn't care about all of those things. If it wasn't because of helping her, Jimin wouldn't live in Singapore or stay at their company. Moreover, if there was no him, the company would be in her uncle's hand.

Of course Jimin was great at doing what he did. His skills and abilities were not to be overlooked that he needed the status to stay at the company. People who know Jimin understood that he was really good at business.

But at that time, Lisa actually knew that Jimin also had another motive which was to look for Joon Min.

He stopped in front of her house: "When will you return to Singapore?"

Lisa unbuckled her seatbelt and snorted: "You really want to send me away, aren't you? Why? Do you think that my presence will reduce your chance to get back with your ex-wife?"

Jimin regarded her as his little sister, he just smiled and rubbed her hair. "Go inside and have a rest. Night."

-

Y/N stared at the message on her phone, it was Jimin's new number that she got from Taehyung. She was hopeless since she couldn't find him but at least she got his number now.

She took a deep breath and called the number.

"Hello?"

"Jimin, it's me...Y/N."

"I know."

Y/n was startled, and it was only silence on the other side.

"You remember my number..."

"..."

Jimin's silence broke her heart.

"I got your number from Taehyung. I just want to ask you, when can I see Joonie?"

"Do you really miss him?"

"Of course, I miss him so much. Every night in my dreams, I see him..."

"Then what about me?"

His question caught her off guard, she didn't expect that he would ask that. She was thinking of a way to answer it but the door was opened and Shin Ji entered her room.

"Y/N, don't forget your date tomorrow."

Her voice was quite loud, Y/N felt unease: "Ma!" She hurriedly put her hand on the speaker, in hope Jimin couldn't hear it.

"What now? Tomorrow night, dinner, don't miss it. When you were hospitalized, he was the one who took care of you. You should treat him to dinner at least. You really..."

Shin Ji didn't know that Y/N was in a call with Jimin. Y/N's face was full of worry and she put the phone back near her ear but she noticed that Jimin hung up.

"Why? What happened to you?"

Y/N was helpless and raised her head. "Ma, about this whole blind date, can you let me decide?"

"I know you, if I let you decide, you won't ever go. Hobi is a good man, you need to hold on..."

Y/N threw her phone to the side. "I want to sleep now, can you please turn off the light when you leave? Thank you." She put the blanket to cover her body.

"You!"

After Shin Ji turned off the light and left, she opened her phone and tried calling him again. But Jimin's phone was off!
