‘Lisa, stop showing off your charm!’

Jennie calmed herself down and said, “So she revoked my qualification as Chanel’s brand ambassador because you rejected her?”

“I’m sorry for causing trouble to your work,” Lisa said in a low voice.

“It’s okay. I’ve signed a contract with Chanel. Niki can’t break it. She can’t possibly control things as she wishes. If she does, she is liable for breach of contract,” Jennie said while looking for her copy of the contract.

Lisa helped her take out the contract, and they read it together.

The contract was in English, and the contents were full of various technical terms. Although Jennie had stayed in the Paris for a few years, it was still a little difficult for her to fully understand it.

On the other hand, Lisa read it smoothly and naturally.

When he raised his head and looked at her, he saw the surprised look on her face. He smiled and said, “I often go to United States and the Europe with Mr. Jisoo. Sometimes I have to help him deal with things, so I am familiar with the language and some technical terms.”

“Lisa, you’re amazing!” Jennie stood up to make coffee for Lisa. But she would glance at him sideways from time to time. She found that he was focused and earnest while reading the document.

No wonder she always felt that he wasn’t just a driver. Before, she thought that his temperament was only cultivated by LM Group.

But now, it seemed that it was entirely because of his own ability to deal with a lot of things.

Hearing Jennie’s praise, the corners of Lisa’s mouth slightly curved up, and his eyes brightened.

Jennie brought the cup of coffee to him and said, “Lili, here’s your coffee.”

Holding the thick contract in his hands, Lisa didn’t take the cup of coffee. If he did, she would sit across from him to read the other contract after giving him coffee.

However, now she sat next to him, leaned over, and read the contract in his hand. Her hair would occasionally fall down and gently brush his face.

Lisa could feel that Jennie had always been avoiding him. Perhaps five years ago, he was too arbitrary to get the marriage certificate. So she had to accept the role of his wife at the age of eighteen.

Maybe it was because of Luca’s existence that she always had some misgivings about their marriage.

So he tried his best to protect her. He didn’t want her to feel insecure and leave him without thinking twice.

Since Lisa didn’t take the cup of coffee, Jennie had to hold it.

“Jennie…” He motioned to her that he wanted to drink the coffee.

Jennie hurried forward and brought the cup to his mouth.

Lisa took a sip. It was just the instant coffee in the hotel, but he felt like it was the best coffee he had ever tasted. He smiled satisfyingly.

Seeing that he was busy, Jennie had to hold the cup of coffee and let him take a sip from time to time.

After drinking up the coffee, Lisa also finished reading the contract. He then said, “As the contract states, you are one of Chanel’s brand ambassadors this year. Now that Niki has replaced you for no reason, the company needs to pay you twice your talent fee as liquidated damages.”

“That’s great then! Twice! Then I’d rather have her revoke my job and get the money than continue with the endorsement.” Jennie calculated it. If she was fine and healthy, of course, she would choose to be one of Chanel’s brand ambassadors. After all, it was a good chance for her to have a promising future.

But because of her illness, money was more important to her now.

Lisa looked at her slowly. “Are you short of money?”

Lisa noticed that Jennie cared about money so much and even spent it very carefully. She had a car and a house. And her personal expenses were not that high. She wasn’t short of money.

But she seemed to be very persistent in making more money.

“Ha-ha! It’s because I have to earn more to raise my little bun,” Jennie said casually. Leo was still a small boy. She thought that she should at least leave him a sum of money enough for his college education.

Otherwise, when she died, he wouldn’t be able to go to school. She could imagine how hard it would be for him.

Thinking that she was referring to Luca, Lisa felt guilty. Luca had nothing to do with her, but she was working hard to raise him.

She herself was just a child who had just grown up. But she had to shoulder the burden of raising a child for himself.

He reached out his hand and stroked Jennie’s hair gently. “Don’t worry. I will work hard to earn money. I won’t let my son suffer with me, and I won’t let you suffer either.”

Tempted by his gesture, Jennie couldn’t help saying, “Lisa, don’t be too nice to me. Don’t you know that it can make people fall for you? No wonder Luca’s mother liked you so much that she wanted to get pregnant with your child.”

Her words made Lisa’s hand freeze. He then whispered in an aggrieved tone, “I’ve never touched even a single strand of other women’s hair.”

Jennie smiled brightly. “Even if you don’t touch other women’s hair, they still fall for you. How much more if you touch it?”

“Well, that makes sense,” Lisa agreed with a nod. It turned out that touching a woman’s hair could make a woman fall for him.

So, would Jennie also fall for him?

While Lisa was still thinking about this question, Jennie had already turned her attention back to the contract just now. “Niki has total control of the business in Asia. So even if she fires me for no reason, we can’t fight against her. If we file a lawsuit and ask her to compensate, I’m afraid that we may not be able to win in the case even if we stay here for half a year.”

It had to be said that Niki also thought this way. A small-time model like Jennie and a mere driver like Lisa were not enough to shake or affect her position.

She knew this, so she thought she had more control over the situation.

“No. Directly send a copy of the contract and the lawyer’s letter to the legal department of their company and let them deal with it by themselves. We will stay out of this. I believe that Chanel won’t ignore any employees who abuse their power.” Lisa didn’t even need to act against Niki by himself.

He asked Lv Shan to come over and handed her the copy of the contract and the printed lawyer’s letter. “Send these directly to the legal department of Chanel. Also, go and see what Director Baizen has said about this.”

His tone was calm and authoritative. It was as if he was a boss giving orders to his subordinates.

Lv Shan didn’t refute at all. She took the documents and said, “Okay.”

She only came to her senses when she walked out of the room. She realized that as a professional agent, she was ordered by Lisa, who was an outsider.

Just now, he spoke so naturally that she didn’t even notice that something seemed wrong.

After sending the documents to Chanel, Lv Shan came back and told Lisa and Su Bei, “Director Baizen is very dissatisfied with Jennie’s replacement. He has been suppressing his dissatisfaction to the extreme. So he has used his own means to report the situation to the senior executives of Chanel.”

“The lawyer’s letter from us and Baizen’s objection will work together to alert them. Jennie and I will hang out in the city these two days. Lv Shan, let us know if anything happens.”
