Lisa sat in the car, recalling the way Jennie had instinctively wiped her mouth the moment she woke up. He felt a strange urge to laugh. In his eyes, Jennie was not the perfect lady as portrayed in public.

The top socialite was elegant, gracious, and inhumanly flawless. She was more like an exquisitely divine doll. Her image was even better than that of those entertainment companies' perfect idols.

The real Jennie was made of flesh and blood. She was cunning, yet still possessed a certain air of innocence.

...

Jennie arrived home all hot and sweaty. She went to take a shower and changed into a short skirt before heading downstairs. Jennie saw Lee Jung Jae sitting in the main hall, so she greeted him and asked, "It's a working day today, why are you at home?"

Lee Jung Jae answered, "I will not be going to the office these few days. I will be working from home."

That explained things.

"Did mother go to the hospital to visit Nanc?"

Lee Jung Jae said, "Mmm, she will be back for dinner tonight."

Jennie asked again, "How is Nanc's condition? Have they found a suitable heart?"

Lee Jung Jae shook his head. "We are still waiting."

Jennie sat down on the sofa and sighed worriedly. "I wonder where Irene went. They said twins have telepathy but why can't I feel anything from her?"

Lee Jung Jae shot Jennie a probing glance before saying, "Don't worry, we will be able to find her.

Jennie lowered her eyes, a chill running down her spine.

If this was in the past, Jennie would have thought Lee Jung Jae was worried about Irene. But after knowing his true motives, Jennie could detect the hidden dark meaning behind his words.

Of course, Lee Jung Jae would do his best to find Irene. He needed her heart to save Nancy!

He would find her even if he had to turn the entire Wangdong City upside down!

When Ha Ji-won returned that night, she asked Jennie a question at the dining table. "I heard that someone sent you home today?"

Jennie was a famous personality in their community. Her exceptional beauty left a deep impression on everyone.

All of Jennie's friends were rich and powerful. Even she drove an expensive luxury car! As a result, her neighbors all found it very strange when they noticed Jennie emerging from an ordinary Volvo. They had gossiped about this fact.

This incident quickly reached Ha Ji-won's ears.

Jennie was not at all surprised that Ha Ji-won knew of this. It was well within Jennie's expectations.

Jennie replied, "Mmm, a colleague."

"What does he do?"

"A subordinate of Manager Kai. Highly regarded by Manager Kai."

Hearing that, Lee Jung Jae joined the conversation. "Is this Manager Kai you mentioned Kai of Zeus Airlines?"

"Yes."

Lee Jung Jae nodded. He knew that from the day Zeus Number 1 successfully took flight, Zeus Airlines would turn into a focal point in Wangdong City. "Zeus Airlines is a very promising company."

If Zeus Airlines wanted to expand, their Lee Corp Company could never compare. Zeus Airlines might even end up as big as Song Dong Group.

Given enough time, it could dominate the world.

Lee Jung Jae didn't say anything about Lisa, but just told Jennie, "Kai is a pretty decent guy. He has a good future in front of him."

Jennie clearly understood Lee Jung Jae's underlying meaning. Kai was Zeus Airlines' general manager and would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future. He was a worthy investment. Lee Jung Jae was hinting at Jennie to cozy up to men like Kai, rather than an ordinary subordinate.

In her previous life, Jennie married Song Dong Group's Second Young Master Song Mino as arranged by Lee Jung Jae and suffered terribly from that marriage.

Jennie would never again listen to Lee Jung Jae in this life.

Jennie was not that cheap. She wouldn't allow Lee Jung Jae to use her in this manner.

Jennie would control her destiny!

"This friend of mine is also pretty decent. We..." Jennie smirked before continuing matter-of-factly, "We have the same views, and he is also very considerate. He is someone worth getting to know more."

Ha Ji-won looked at Jennie with a happy expression. She teased, "Looks like you have feelings for him."

"Of course," Jennie admitted.

Lee Jung Jae shot Jennie a disapproving look, but he didn't say anything.

After all, in Lee Jung Jae's eyes, Jennie was the most revered beauty in Wangdong City. She had a high value and would never really get together with some nondescript commoner. Perhaps this was a good-looking young man and Jennie was just flirting with him.

...

That day was Jennie's first time as a co-pilot. She assisted Xiong Jian on the flight back and performed exceptionally well. The entire journey was smooth and stable that both Xiong Jian and Song Shiqing were very satisfied with her performance.

Even after the flight landed safely, Kai gave Jennie a thumbs-up and praised her. "Ms. Jennie, beautiful job."

Jennie took off her hat and gracefully twirled a strand of black hair by her ear. She said coquettishly, "Just the job? Manager Kai, am I not beautiful in person?"

With such a beauty flirting with him, Kai was completely flustered. He quickly showered her with more compliments. "Ms. Jennie is both devastatingly beautiful and extremely capable."

Jennie smiled with satisfaction.

Lisa alighted from the plane and saw Kai pandering to Jennie. Meanwhile, Jennie did not look at all sheepish and instead looked very arrogant and self-satisfied.

One was willing to flatter, the other willing to believe his blarney.

Lisa thought to himself, 'Youngsters nowadays are shameless.'

"Oh yes." Jennie suddenly opened her bag and took out several invitation cards. "The 10th of this month is my birthday. I am organizing a charity banquet. Mr. Kai, Mr. Manoban, I wonder if you two will be kind enough to attend?"

Violet letters were printed on the pure-white invitation card. She handed one to Lisa.

Lisa didn't reach out his hand, so Kai accepted it on his behalf.

"We will attend your birthday party!" Kai exclaimed. With that, he looked down at the invitation card and felt it was very nicely designed. He was not at all surprised that she had such good taste.

Jennie glanced at Lisa meaningfully. While Kai's attention was elsewhere, she took the opportunity to wink at Lisa.

Lisa. "..."

'Is she trying to seduce me?'

As Kai lifted his head, Jennie immediately switched back to her normal expression. She said to Kai, "I will be waiting for you two then." With that, she turned and left with her luggage in tow. Clad in western-style pants, her bum wiggled enticingly as she sashayed away.

On the way back, Kai placed the invitation in Lisa's hands. Kai had known Lisa for so many years and knew that he seldom attended parties. Moreover, this was a party organized by a socialite. Kai said, "Are you not going as usual?"

To be honest, Lisa's daily life was rather dull and boring. Kai had never seen Lisa with a young lady by his side.

He couldn't imagine Lisa romancing someone, or getting married.

"I am going," Lisa replied.
