My Precious Family 2 [Jenlisa]

Chapter 222: Grade 1

When Jennie went to Lea's tent, she expected the latter to be in another terrible mood. After all, Lea was watching earlier and Jennie was observing her from the corner of her eyes. Jennie was aware that Lea walked away, fuming, drowning in anger and inferiority. 

But much to Jennie's surprise, her expectation was unmet.     

"You seemed to be in a good mood, Lea," Jennie pointed out, sitting on the couch in the corner.     

Lea was sitting in front of the vanity mirror. She liked her spot there.     

"You're back? Did you finish your scene?" Lea cast Jennie a smile, making the latter raise her brows.    

Jennie glanced at the bouquet on Lea's lap. "From a fan?"    

"Hmm? Ah. This?" Lea carried the bouquet to show Jennie, smiling. "Well, you can call him a fan. He sent this to make me feel better, thinking I wasn't."    

"I didn't know you were dating Lea." — wasn't she aiming for Lisa Manoban?    

"I'm not." Lea pouted, peeling her eyes from Jennie to the flowers. "He's just a friend. That's all."    

"You don't smile like that when a friend sent you flowers."    

"Come on, Jennie. Why are you thinking like that?" Lea cast Jennie a look, chuckling. "He's just a friend. A sweet one. I'm smiling because I'm glad to have such a friend."    

Jennie studied Lea. Staring at the latter, Jennie couldn't help but think at how normal their friendship could be if Lea was this unbothered. Lea didn't even seem angry about the work environment.    

'I wanted to think there's hope in this friendship.' Jennie thought, pushing herself away from the couch. She strutted towards Lea, stopping at Lea's side.    

"Hmm?" Lea raised her head to Jennie, only to see her staring at the flower in her hand. "What? Aren't they beautiful?"    

The bouquet was formed with a variety of flowers. It was beautiful, the longer one looked as each flower complemented the other. However, Jennie focused on the flower with deep blue petals.     

'This one...'Jennie slowly shifted her eyes to Lea.    

"They are beautiful." Jennie flashed Lea a smile. "This friend of yours, Lea, must like you very much."    

"What?" Lea blushed a bit. "No. He's just like that."    

"Who is he?" Jennie dragged her feet until she was leaning her side against the vanity mirror. "Is he someone I know?"    

"No. I just met him recently." Lea bit her tongue, stopping herself from giving Jennie further details. At the back of her head, she didn't want Jennie to steal this friend as well.     

"He's not that important, Jennie. Don't worry. If I'm dating, you'd be the first person to know." Lea changed the topic, maintaining her smile before gazing down at the flower.     

Meanwhile, Jennie folded her arms while staring at Lea. 'Jung Lea, just who the fuck are you hanging out with?' she wondered, tilting her head to the side.     

'Oh, my god. Just look at this idiot. No matter how she denies it, she looks so happy.' Jennie put up a smile the second Lea glanced up at her. 'Does she know that flower can kill her? Well, I guess I don't need to do anything since someone else is trying to kill her.'    

Jennie wanted to shrug it off since Lea did all sorts of things that were worthy of her hatred. She didn't care much about Lea and was only wasting her precious time on a cheap like her for the original Jennie. At least, in this way, she could avenge the original Jennie Kim.     

However, for some reason, Jennie was a little concerned.     

'Whoever this new friend of hers was... either held a grudge against her or simply had another ulterior motive,' she thought, thinking about what sort of person Lea was.     

To be honest, Jennie wouldn't be surprised if someone wanted Lea dead. Lea had a terrible attitude toward those who worked under her. She also offended other people if she knew they were just below her. Lea might have a talent for giving a good impression on others beneficial to her, but she was ruthless to those who had no value to her.    

Therefore, she might've offended someone to the point they wanted Lea dead. Giving her a lethal flower that could kill her slowly might just be their way.     

'But who in the world... would think of such an elaborate method?' wondered Jennie. 'Unless this person is into botany, then that makes a lot of sense. The thing was... this plant doesn't grow in this country.'    

"Miss Jung? The director is calling for you."    

Suddenly, someone came to the tent to call for Lea. Lea looked back and smiled, telling the staff she would be coming up.    

"Did you finish all your scenes today?" asked Lea to Jennie as she placed the flowers on top of the vanity mirror.    

"I still have one more. I think we're doing a scene together." Jennie kept her smile. "But that's for later. I'm going to rest or maybe take a nap until then."    

"Oh, I see. Very well." Lea picked up her script, smiling amicably. "I'll see you later. Don't forget your lines! I don't want to retake a scene because of you."    

"That's harsh."    

Lea just chuckled before bidding Jennie farewell, leaving the tent with her script in her hand. Meanwhile, Jennie stayed in her spot, staring at the entrance where Lea went to.     

'Jung Lea...' Another deep exhale slipped past Jennie's before her eyes fell on the bouquet. She unfolded her arms, picking up the bouquet Lea left on the table.     

"Hmm. They're so pretty," she whispered, studying the particular flower at a safe distance from her face. "A grade 1 on a poison scale, huh? He has quite the taste."    

DING!    

Jennie arched a brow when she heard a ping. Her eyes veered to the table, catching Lea's phone on it.     

"Look at her. She's so happy she forgot her phone." Jennie picked up the phone, only to see the notification on the screen.     

[From: 1    

I'll pick you up later. My work is done. What time are you going to finish?]    

"One?" Jennie raised a brow. "I guess I won't know if this matter is worthy of my attention unless I see this person for myself."
