Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 47. Who's the Employee Who Became Lisle's Boyfriend?

Lisle didn't think that far. He just answered that. “He's on duty out.” Didn't Mr. Kent say he was out. Either out of town or country.

Remembering that made Lisle sad for no reason. He really wanted to go to his apartment and stay there as long as Mr. Kent hadn't returned. Although maybe Celine hasn't come back from visiting her mother yet.

Dean seemed to be trying to remember who the employees he knew were on duty out of town. But everything doesn't fit.  Those who were given exit duties were all not lowly employees; there was a manager and his assistant, a director and a secretary. There was also a mainstay technician assigned to one of the branches for a few days, but he was a stiff-looking introvert, Dean doubted the man could even have friends. Of course he ignored the master of the president who went out of the country two days ago. The owner of the Diamound Group did not count.

Dean wanted to say something more when the elevator stopped and Lisle rushed out. He waited for a while before the elevator doors closed. The original goal to the planning department suddenly changed to HRD. He wants to find out something.

Lisle gulped her juice a little while her hand fiddled with Mr. Kent's smartphone. He was in the company cafeteria during a busy break. Today's menu is not able to invite his taste. So he just drank a glass of apple juice for his stomach filler.

“Wow, I-Phone latest output.” A girl suddenly sat in front of Lisle with a tray filled with lunch. “You're not waiting for your girlfriend ‘right?”

Lisle recognized the girl as Allison from the finance department. He only smiled slightly at the girl's comment and hurriedly put his phone back in the bag. “No,” said Lisle answered a question about waiting for the girlfriend.

“Does Dean from the planning department still bother you?” ask Allison in the middle of her chew.

“Not really. He only talks a little with me,” Lisle said honestly.

“Speaking or seducing?” Allison meant to flirt.

“He never seduced me. She knows I have a boyfriend.” Lisle.

“O yes, you already have a girlfriend. It seems like at least half of the men in this building know that and they gossip about it like the old ladies who fell down.” Allison's voice was filled with jealousy.

Lisle looked innocently at the girl opposite her. “Is it important until they feel the need to gossip about me?”

“Yeah, you're right. That's not important at all. But I don't know why they're so curious about your boyfriend. You said he worked here. And Dean went to his ex, Diana, at HRD, to try to find out who your boyfriend was by looking at the data of the employees who were out. Then somehow they started fighting.” Allison seemed excited as she told it.

“I think the girl is jealous. The news has already spread, about Dean chasing you.” Allison added.

“Aaah Lisle sighed in annoyance. In just three days, he seemed to have already made a mess in this place.

“But in my opinion, Dean is harmless. You need to be more careful with the public relations manager. I think you've met him. The old man was very cunning. Already some girls become his victims.” Allison took a tissue and wiped her hands then gulped down the remaining half of the lemon juice.

“Do you not want to tell me who your boyfriend is? I promise I'll shut up.” Allison made a closing motion with her hands on her lips.

“No. I don't want to bother him. He doesn't even know that I work here..” Lisle was honest.

“He didn't know you worked here? How can?” Allison was astonished.

“You will definitely be caught. Moreover, you should be touring some departments. One day he'll catch you. But wouldn't it be nice if you work for the same company?” Allison is confused by the attitude of Lisle's boyfriend who doesn't like being in the same workplace as Lisle.

“I don't know.” Again Lisle flicked her shoulders. He felt everything became like a tangled thread, his life, it felt so difficult to decipher anymore.

It was the end of lunch and the end of Allison's story. The girl with curly hair breezed away, leaving Lisle at her desk located in the corner of the room. Lisle spread her gaze around and found many pairs of eyes that were stealing glances. He hurriedly finished the juice in the glass and got up leaving the place.

In reality that day Lisle could not avoid several things, one of which was the public relations manager, John Blackton.

The last document that Lisle must deliver is a document with the aim of the PR department. Today the number of documents he had to deliver was one and a half times more and he became slower than usual. Until the end of business hours, Lisle still leaves some documents that must be delivered. And now it's an hour past the time of return. Lisle walked into the already deserted room of the Public Relations office, placed the documents on the ordinary desk and turned around intending to leave.

A person whose body was slightly taller than her was already in front of Lisle.

“Ah, Miss Lisle, what a coincidence. I thought you were gonna call, so I kept waiting for you. The business card I gave is not missing ‘kan?”  John Blacton stood up as if. He regretted why he had not gotten the girl's mobile number.

Lisle's heart almost jumped out. In the large, silent room, the man was suddenly like a ghost already standing in front of him.

“Tu... Sir John?!” Lisle put her hand on the chest.

“I surprise you, ya”? The man grinned. His gaze traced Lisle's body from top to bottom. This girl has attracted the attention of many men in this office. John didn't want to be late for the opportunity. Even though this girl assures everyone that she already has a lover but John does not believe it. He's an experienced guy who's not easily fooled. And he has his own opinion. According to him, the girlfriend that Lisle admitted to was fictitious as an attempt by the girl to avoid all the men who tried to approach her.

“Mmm, I have to go, Mr.” Lisle stepped aside intending to pass John.

“Shortly. How about dinner, does your boyfriend agree?” It is possible that this girl brought someone who would claim to be her boyfriend in front of John. But what kind of man can this girl bring? John would embarrass him. He would book a private room at a famous restaurant in Black Mountain and come up with his best car.

Even though John was already in his forties, he still looked handsome and felt confident. He was still able to compete with the man younger than him.  Especially with the position of manager he holds now, John has conquered many young girls.

“Eee, I haven't asked..” Lisle answered confusedly. How dare he ask Mr. Kent. It's the same as looking to die.

John smiled feeling on the verge of victory. Of course this girl hasn't asked. So who would he ask? That boyfriend must be Lisle's only bitch.

At that moment Lisle's phone rang.

“Sorry,” he told John. “I have to answer his phone.” Then Lisle flushed from there. He was relieved to have been saved from the man.

While walking in the hallway leading to the elevator, Lisle received a call without seeing the name of the caller.

“Hallo..

“What are you doing in the public relations department?” That cold voice instantly made Lisle's heart freeze.
