Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 2)

220

Meanwhile, Lisa set off on his flight to Milan. But as he left Manoban Entertainment, Jisoo urgently ran over and stopped him, "President, a problem has occurred with Hong Xin's collaboration. The President is on the phone," Jisoo handed the phone over.

This was a project they had invested hundreds of millions of dollars into. Lisa glanced at his watch before grabbing the phone from Jisoo's hand.

However, the issue couldn't merely be solved over the phone. Since Manoban Entertainment had invested in the project and a problem had occurred, they were required to meet face-to-face to discuss.

Lisa weighed out the importance for a moment before heading back into Manoban Entertainment. As he walked, he instructed Jisoo, "Get Minho to immediately fly to Milan and help Jennie secure Excalibur Q's endorsement."

"But, Excalibur Q is amongst the top ten luxury products. Minho's assistance won't be enough," Jisoo followed behind Lisa anxiously. This was only one of the problems Jennie would face after joining Manoban Entertainment.

If Lisa was to accompany Jennie at all times, the things he would give up would not be simple; he would have to make a lot of sacrifices

But, Jennie was already under his agency. No matter who he was to hand her over to, he did not feel completely at ease.

"If they can't secure it, tell him to give me a call!"

After accepting his instructions, Jisoo immediately went downstairs to relay the message to Minho. Minho immediately cleared his schedule and rushed towards Italy, one hour behind Jennie.

...

After an 11-hour flight, Jennie finally arrived in Milan at 1pm local time. Rosé dragged her huge suitcase as she followed behind Jennie. The warmth of the sun's rays shone on their bodies putting them in a good mood.

Not long after, they arrived at the hotel organized by the agency. Rosé immediately called Jisoo to ask him what the schedule was like and to get updates on the manager. But, as Jisoo held onto the phone, he glanced over at Lisa who was currently in a meeting with Hong Xin. He assured her, "The schedule has been sent to the madam's email. As for her manager, he is on his way."

"I am currently in a meeting so I can't talk too much."

Rosé put down her phone and suddenly felt a little baffled. Jennie had already begun her work, yet she still didn't know who her manager was...

How were they to cooperate?

Jennie sat uncomfortably on the edge of the bed. Seeing Rosé furrow her brows, she naturally asked, "What's wrong?"

"Who is this manager of yours? Why is he so mysterious..."

Jennie endured the discomfort in her stomach as she leaned back on the bedhead and flipped through Excalibur Q's information. Seeing the pale look on her face, Rosé couldn't help but place her hands on her hips and ask worryingly, "Can you still work like this?"

"I'm fine," Jennie replied as she held onto her burning stomach.

"From now on, let Boss control you. If you can't drink then don't drink...Did Boss give you any hangover soup?"

"Yep, I had some as soon as I woke up..." Jennie nodded.

"Jennie, this is your first job since joining Manoban Entertainment. On top of that, you will be competing with Star King. Although I don't want to place pressure on you, I'm sure you know how important this endorsement is to you."

"I know what I'm doing," Jennie gently nodded.

"In that case, have a bit of rest. I'll look through your schedule," Rosé took out her laptop and allowed Jennie to get some rest. She didn't even get a chance to adjust to the time difference before she jumped straight into work.

The interview was scheduled for 3pm the next day. Rosé looked at the details of the interview before turning to look at Jennie's uncomfortable sleeping expression; Rosé was extremely worried about her.

If Lisa was to know, how broken-hearted would he be...

Jennie was also aware that her current state was not good. From now on, she should avoid drinking in order not to cause her own suffering.

An hour later, Minho also arrived at the hotel organized by the agency and located Jennie's room.

Seeing Minho make an appearance, Rosé thought he was Jennie's manager. She had a good impression of this man. But, if he really was Jennie's manager, why did Jisoo keep her hanging?

Minho took over the job halfway and understood that Jennie was faced with an incredible challenge. Excalibur Q was an international jewelry brand; becoming the spokesperson, was not an easy task.

Minho turned his head to look at Jennie who was lying in bed. However...at this moment, she suddenly turned over and started vomiting. Minho and Rosé were so scared their faces immediately turned pale. They immediately sent her to the hospital in Milan. After seeing the doctor, her condition was roughly stabilized.

"She hadn't relieved her alcohol poisoning before boarding such a long flight. Of course her stomach was upset."

"In that case...when will she be fully recovered?" Rosé asked the doctor in English.

"She needs to rest in bed for 2 days."

Rest in bed...that meant she wouldn't be able to attend the interview the next day...

Rosé turned and looked at Minho. All of a sudden, she didn't know what to do. Minho remained silent. In the end, he pulled out his phone and reported everything to Lisa.

Jennie was afraid Lisa would be worried, so she asked Minho not to tell Lisa she was in the hospital.

But, after careful consideration, Minho decided not to listen to her and told Lisa everything.

"I shouldn't have rushed her to take on an advertisement and secure an endorsement."

"How about we give up on the Excalibur Q contract then?"

Opportunities came around often and Manoban Entertainment never joked around with an artist's health, especially when the artist involved was the most important person in Lisa's heart.

But, contrary to Minho's expectation, Lisa laughed and replied, "If she would give up so easily, she wouldn't be Jennie."

"What are you suggesting President?"

"Tomorrow, help her with the interview. But make sure her body can handle it. If there is anything you aren't sure of, give me a phone call..."

Minho held onto the phone and decided to do a little test on Jennie. So, he covered the mouthpiece and said, "President Manoban wants you to give up on the endorsement."

"I do not have a reason to give up..."

Minho's lips curved upwards. Indeed, the person that understood Jennie the most was Lisa. So, he handed the phone to Jennie and gestured for her to tell him personally.

The couple were separated by thousands of miles. Jennie held onto the phone, but was too afraid to say anything as she let out a raspy sound.

"Don't push yourself too hard. As soon as you feel any discomfort, let Minho know."

"OK," Jennie gave a simple one-worded reply.

"Without me by your side, I am really worried," Lisa felt a sense of regret. Why did he choose to handle his work first instead of going to Jennie? If he had known she'd make him so worried, he would have thrown away the close to billion-dollar investment...

"I'm fine, really."

"You aren't allowed to drink next time."

"Uh huh, I won't drink anymore," Jennie nodded her head with self-awareness.

Minho listened to the conversation between the couple. He couldn't imagine how the usually stern President could be so tender when he was in love.

If Jennie was to find out her manager was Lisa...

...how far would their happiness go...

It's not that he wanted to curse them, but...
