Perfect Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 8

Is this how it feels when the blood completely leaves your body?

Jennie paled as she looked at Lisa. The cellphone in his hand looked like a dead piece of plastic. Jennie's cold eyes slowly calmed down.

"It's just my personal cellphone."

"Was there a need to use it so secretively like this? Putting it in your bra? Whose name is this under?"

"Am I being interrogated right now?"

"Answer the questions."

His face leaned closer to hers. His eyes looked indifferent and cold. Because of his gaze, Jennie felt as if the air around her had completely frozen over. Jennie calmly looked back into those eyes.

It had been a stupid mistake to suddenly come here after receiving President Kim's call. She would have found out Lalisa Manoban's objective and what kind of deal had been struck if she had only waited a few more hours.

However, the whirling thoughts in her head had caused her to move around dangerously. All thanks to her ridiculous emotions. If I trip up now, it'll be the end. If I tell him, it'll also be the end. So...

"It was Song Mino."

She had to go all out.

"What?"

"The person you're curious about, the man I've been talking to, and the owner of this cellphone. It's Song Mino."

In that moment, the air around her turned into daggers.

Lisa didn't move. He just glared at her with a terrifying coldness in his eyes. Jennie didn't avoid his gaze. This was because 6 months ago, at 3 AM, Jennie had felt the same way outside of his bedroom.

That night, nobody knew she was there. She couldn't even tell anyone that she was there. Therefore, she couldn't tell anyone what she had seen. That day, Jennie had hacked into their security systems and completely blocked it all.

The security guard in the room with all the surveillance monitors would drowse off at around 3 or 4 AM. Additionally, whenever Jennie planned on entering the data room, she always put a weak sleeping tablet in the cup of coffee she gave him late in the evenings. Therefore, he would definitely succumb to sleep.

Carefully, Jennie headed for the server room in the basement. Every night, all of LM's data would be backed up in those servers. Once every quarter of the year, she would go down and open up this treasure chest of information.

Jennie went up the emergency stairs to the 4th floor. She carefully opened the security door and entered Lisa's wing of the house. Right when she opened the door, she heard noises.

Her breath caught in her throat as she hid herself in the shadows. Was Lisa awake at this time? Her husband was a creature of habit. He went to sleep at 12 and woke up at 6 in the morning. He started the day by going to the gym or swimming. His packed morning was like clockwork.

However, the person exiting his bedroom door wasn't Lisa. Jennie silently peeked out of the shadows. The person adjusted their clothes and left the bedroom. It was Nancy. Jennie wanted Lisa to feel how she felt in that moment.

It was entertaining to see the changes in Lisa's expression as she said Song Mino's name. Jennie knew very well what kind of thoughts were going through his head right now. Who knew that his face hardening in rage would be so sweet to see?

Either way, what she needed to hide the most right now was what she had really done.

She had hacked into the LM servers and stored information about the Dubai project into her USB. She was the one who stole the 500 billion won. Even though she was well- known as an illustrator, it wasn't her true identity. She was actually a computer programmer. However, instead of having all this be revealed, it was much more fun to have Lisa believe that she had a lover.
