To My Dear Lalisa Manoban [JENLISA] (1)

251-255

Jennie hung up the phone and her face showed the remnants of a smile. Nearby, Lisa espied that, flipped over, and lowered himself on her.

“Why are you so happy?” When Lisa went to shower, Jennie had just picked up the call. When he came out of the shower, she had still been on the phone.

He was actually more interested in asking her about whom she was talking to.

“It’s nothing,” Jennie shook her head. “Joohyun’s wedding dress design was selected for the finals.”

It’s Irene again. The smile on Lisa’s face started to fade. “You really treat her with such thoughtfulness.”

She had picked the best gift for Irene among all the other gifts she had picked out. Once we were back in Lin City, she immediately went to give Irene the gift. Due to that, she neglected me.

When Irene joined the competition and was drawing designs after designs, regardless of whether it was day or night, she was extremely invested in her efforts to care for her welfare. She regularly delivered soup and beverages to Irene for the purpose of supplementing her health.

She has never personally delivered any to me. This is blatant favoritism.

“Joohyun is my buddy; of course, I am thoughtful of her.”

Though Irene had parents, she was living on her own away from them.

“So why don’t I see you being more thoughtful of me?”

Lisa pecked her on her face again as he spoke and his eyes reflected traces of discontent. “You do not even treat me with such thoughtfulness.”

“You’re not making sense again.” Jennie was adamant about not taking responsibility. Upon carefully reflecting, she did seem to have neglected him to a considerable extent recently.

During these few days after returning from their trip, she had been working in the hospital in the day and rushing out an essay at night. The drawback of being a doctor was having to deal with examinations and having essays to write intermittently.

No matter how much you have mastered your profession, the examinations and essays have to be done. Whatever little free time left was used on keeping Irene company. Lisa has really been neglected.

“Fine, how would you like me to be thoughtful?”

Upon reflecting on the week that she had been back from her trip, she had not exactly been a competent wife. Jennie thought that perhaps she could satisfy some of the conditions set by Lisa.

“You have to obey me tonight.”

Lisa’s first condition caused Jennie to blush. Does this count as a condition to fulfill? There had not been a night which she did not submit to his requests.

Lisa also realized that this condition did not count, so he came up with another one. “Our company has just arranged a partnership deal. Almost every reputable company in Lin City will be participating in different aspects of the partnership; hence the company has decided to hold a dinner party next week. When the time comes, you will attend the dinner party as the hostess.”

Attend a dinner party? Jennie’s expression revealed a subtle struggle within her. “Your business partners are the Kim Family, Seo Family, and Qiu Family?”

“Naturally.” Although the Kim Family did not really treat Jennie amicably, it was undeniable that these families wielded considerable power in the business world.

After all, it would be impossible to have a stronghold in Lin City for so many years without substantial influence and strength. Profitable partnerships were beneficial for the players.
