The moment she turned around, the university student look she was going for was half-gone.

That was what made Jennie special– when she put on makeup, she became stunning, but even without any makeup on, she was still attractive. Quirk her lips and curve her eyes and she’d be the picture of a flirt.

“No,” Lisa stepped on the gas. “I just arrived.”

Jisoo stood there staring at the back of the rover, only managing after a long while, “…Damn, it really is Kim Jennie!”

Tzuyu had to put in plenty of effort to disguise the hatred on her face. She tugged on the edges of her lips, exaggeratedly saying, “So you know Director Manoban, that’s really impressive.”

“What’s so impressive about that?” Tzuyu’s attempt at flattery clearly hit the wrong spot, causing Jisoo to scrunch up his brows as he gave her a glance.

Tzuyu shut up.

A few steps later, Jisoo stopped. “Right, you know who was on his car just now?”

“Of course,” Tzuyu smiled forcefully. “Kim Jennie.”

Jisoo asked, “You know her?”

“Yeah,” Tzuyu said. “We’re pretty close.”

Jisoo didn’t entirely buy that. “Then why didn’t you greet each other just now?”

“Wasn’t it that you guys were talking and it’s not good for us to interrupt?” Tzuyu made sure to sound cute.

Jisoo rolled his eyes in his mind. What’s wrong with this person’s IQ?

Nevermind, when the lights are off, they’re all the same, Jisoo turned around and asked, “Then do you have her contact number?”

Tzuyu asked, “Huh?”

“Yes or no?” Jisoo cut her off. “Didn’t you say that you’re close?”

Tzuyu was still struggling for an excuse. “Jennie doesn’t really like giving away her contact number…”

“What do you know,” Jisoo said. “The car she just got onto was my best buddy’s car, if I asked for a contact she wouldn’t say anything.” He upturned his hand, making a taking gesture. “Give me.”

Tzuyu bit her teeth. “…Give me a second.”

She was fuming, and yet she still had to use KakaoTalk to find her agent Mijoo to ask for Jennie’s contact number.

It was after they’d left the parking lot that Lisa asked, “Where are we going?”

“What do you want to eat?” Jennie was holding her phone and scrolling through the restaurants on the app.

“Anything’s fine,” Lisa said. “The shoe’s by your feet.”

Jennie lowered her head and glanced at it. The red heel contrasted with the black carpet, giving a sort of lingering charm.

“Anything you don’t eat?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Lisa’s arm, her heart pumping away.

Lisa’s arm muscles had beautiful lines, not the exaggerated kind, but the white sleeves barely contained his arms and he appeared infused with power.

Lisa looked at her askance. “No.”

Jennie already had an idea before. Bending forward, she entered the address and the navigator immediately started searching for a route there.
