After Doctor Song left, Lisa was the one who helped her apply the medication.
Her movements were very gentle, cautious, and careful. Only, she didn't make a peep the entire time. Thus, Irene asked, "Unhappy?"
"응? No." Lisa quieted for a moment before saying, "Sorry......"
"It's not like I'm blaming you." Irene rubbed the soft hairs over the other's forehead. "It's truly because I wanted to try out of curiosity."
"응." Lisa finished applying the medication for her and lowly asked, "Does it feel a little bit better? Does it hurt? Does it itch?"
Irene purposefully teased her, "It's a bit itchy."
Lisa's expression turned panicked.
Thus, Irene added, "It'll get better if you kiss it."
Lisa's face flushed red. She didn't say anything, obediently lowering her head instead. She used her lips and, carefully avoiding the affected areas, touched the skin of Irene's chest. She brushed against it twice before lifting her gaze to sneak a glance at Irene's face. Then, she lowered her gaze once more and used the tip of her tongue to delicately lick at the skin.
Like a kitten drinking milk.
A flame became lit in Irene's heart. She immediately pulled the other up. "Don't tease me. Neither of us are suitable right now."
"Oh." Lisa obediently halted. She held onto Irene's neck and stopped moving.
She didn't actually look any different.
But Irene still felt like the other was in a bad mood. "I told you it's not your fault. Don't take it to heart."
"응."
"Seems like that's not the reason."
Lisa usually only shared her positive emotions and hid her negative ones. She refused to talk about her problems when she had them. Irene wrapped her arms around the other and casually guessed, "Then you're jealous?"
Lisa quivered almost imperceptibly in her arms. She hurriedly said, "Not at all."
Irene's heart suddenly started beating faster. She flipped over abruptly and pressed Lisa into the sofa. "You're really jealous?"
Lisa panicked. While avoiding Irene's gaze, she consecutively said no several times. Irene held onto the other's chin and turned her face back, then lifted her face up. "You really weren't? Hmm?"
Lisa kept her eyes lowered. She didn't dare to make eye contact with Irene. Upon hearing this question, she peeked up from under her eyelashes at Irene. After realizing that there was amusement painted on the other's face and no dissatisfaction at all, she finally swallowed and carefully asked.
"I'm allowed to be jealous?"
Irene froze.
She sighed softly, "Oh, you......How many years has it been since I've come back? Aside from you, who else has been by my side? Even if you're not the empress, you're at least a devil consort capable of ruining the country. Why can't you get jealous? Be bold and get jealous all you want. You're in the right in being jealous."
Lisa started laughing because of her words. "Where did you learn these things?"
"Mwo?"
Lisa couldn't stop laughing. "They don't sound like things you would say..."
"Then what sounds like something I would say?" Irene turned to the side and scooted close to the other's ear. She lowered her voice and whispered, "My baby is so warm, soft and comfortable inside."
Lisa's face instantly flushed red. She gently struggled a bit. "You were the one who said we aren't suitable yet...... But now you're teasing me......"
Irene smiled and let go of her. "My mistake. I apologize. Don't be angry, Lisa baby."
Lisa's face was as red as a tomato. "What are you talking about......"
Devastatingly cute.
Irene couldn't help pecking her once on the cheek. She also pecked her on the tip of her nose once. The other's temperature was so warm that it felt like she was close to having a fever. Consequently, Irene couldn't bear to keep teasing her.
"I have learned to become greasier these days. It's all Seulgi's fault."
Seulgi was the biggest playgirl among all of Irene's friends. Lisa had met her at a gathering in the past. "She invested in some musical drama and is adamant about getting me to invest too. She even sent the script over......I won't go see her again."
"Well don't do that......" Lisa hurriedly interrupted her so she wouldn't continue talking. She only realized that Irene was joking after seeing the amusement in the other's eyes. As such, she changed the topic and said, "Even so, I don't want to be a devil consort."
"Then what do you want to be?" Irene easily asked.
"Hmm......" Lisa pondered a bit. "A righteous official, I guess."
"Okay," Irene permitted. "So, my beloved Official Lalisa, did you feel jealous just now or no?"
"A little bit, yes." She could only nod. Lisa realized she couldn't avoid this question.
Irene felt extremely tempted. She held the other's face in her hands and bit and nipped at her lips. A long time later, she finally inquired again, "Really?"
Lisa made a soft sound of acknowledgement. "He and you are very close. He's also a doctor. And he's really good looking......"
Irene pinched her nose. "You're saying that man is handsome to my face?"
Lisa hummed and bit her lip before sticking out her tongue. "Ugh, Oh... That's not what i meant." As she spoke, she lifted her gaze and looked at Irene suggestively.
She obediently rolled up the bottom hem of her shirt and held it between her teeth, revealing her two cherry blossom-like nipples. She bent over in a receiving manner and muttered around the cloth, "You can punish me."
Which person could stand being teased like this?
Even though Irene clearly knew that the two of them weren't in suitable conditions right now, she still couldn't help grabbing onto Lisa's waist and "eating" her carefully from head to toe, avoiding the injured areas. Only after this did she hold onto the other's hand and use both their hands to give each other a simultaneous pleasure on their private area.
●●●▬
The next morning, Irene woke up very early. Her company wasn't close to her villa. It was more than an hour away by car. Irene normally stayed in a high-end apartment near the company during the week, only returning to the villa on the weekends. Lisa was still half asleep. She rubbed her eyes and wanted to get up to send the other off.
"Keep sleeping. It's still early." Irene kissed her and stuffed her back into the blankets.
Lisa blearily responded, "If it's too troublesome, you can still stay at the apartment overnight."
"It's not troublesome. I know what I'm doing." Irene rubbed her hair, then gently pressed a kiss to Lisa's forehead. "Be good. Sleep."
After getting downstairs, she told the butler to head upstairs and check on Lisa from time to time so as to prevent the other from having nightmares. Only then did she finally leave the house.
As soon as she reached her office, one of her spies privately handed a sealed kraft paper envelope over. "Miss Bae, this is what you told us to look into two days ago."
Irene knew this was the information on Lisa's girlfriend. She nodded.
"Put it there." As she spoke, she pulled out two envelopes from her drawer. These were filled with money and had been sealed ahead of time. She slid them across the desk.
That person silently left after receiving the money.
Leaving Irene alone to stare at the unsealed envelope of information. Speaking of, though she was okay with making legal and illegal transactions for business purposes, in private, she had always kept her morals. This was the first time she was using such methods outside of public matters. The person she was investigating was also the person who slept beside her every night. She kept feeling a bit disrespectful......
Irene pushed the kraft paper envelope away.
However, she had already spent the money. Wasn't it a bit stupid if she didn't take a single look? Irene tugged the kraft paper envelope close.
But would Lisa get mad if she found out?
Irene pushed the kraft paper envelope away once more.
But who told this person to make Lisa cry in her dreams? Irene tugged the kraft paper envelope close again.
After repeatedly going back and forth like this several times, she hadn't even made up her mind yet by the afternoon. This was really a rare moment of indecisiveness in Bae Irene's life.
Only at four, which was time for afternoon tea, did Irene suddenly remember: back then, when Lisa had first arrived, the two of them had made a deal. For safety, Irene could gather any personal information about Lisa or the people around her whenever necessary. At the time, Lisa had agreed without even thinking about it. In the first few months, Irene had also truly kept an eye on the other. Only, Lisa had always been very well behaved. Eventually, Irene had gradually forgotten about this deal.
Thus, even if she was investigating Lisa's girlfriend, she technically wasn't out of her jurisdiction.
But at the same time, her and Lisa's relationship truly couldn't be referred to as "healthy" either. The supposed gentle and sweet image was possibly an act Lisa was putting on for money.
She wanted to keep the other. But what if the other wasn't willing to be kept?
Hoping that a strong love would be able to grow out of this abnormal environment was originally just wishful thinking anyways.
Irene rested her forehead against her hand and heaved out a long sigh. She ultimately still ripped open the kraft paper envelope. The materials were very detailed.
Irene scanned them over briefly. Things were basically the same as what Lisa had said. Her heart felt stuffy. She couldn't find it in herself to take a closer look. However, a few pictures did catch her attention: these were polaroid pictures of a very casually dressed girl. In her pictures with Lisa, she was only a tiny bit taller than Lisa, hugged her from behind while Lisa's holding a Scottish fold cat.
No matter when, she always wore a pair of coveralls spattered with paint and other materials. Her hair was long and messy; occasionally, it was kept down in a tangled jumble. Others, it was offhandedly tied up at the back. She was so skinny that she was practically just skin and bones. Her bones protruded out and her eye sockets were very sunken in. Her eye bags were as obvious as a smokey-eyed makeup look. There was no color on her face and her lips were a ghastly white.
This was a bit tragic.
Irene rubbed the spot between her eyebrows.
If this was Lisa's type, then... She rubbed her own face and felt that the future was a bit dismal.
However, from a more optimistic perspective, at least the numerous versions of the same body in Lisa's speed sketches weren't of this girl. So, if they weren't of her, then who were they of?
