The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 10

When Lisa arrived, Jisoo happened to be leaving Jennie's office. She wasn't surprised to see Lisa and immediately asked, "Ms. Lisa, are you here to find me, or President Kim? We're both free."

For some reason, Lisa was feeling paranoid and thought that Jisoo was mocking her, but Lisa never failed to present herself as an expressionless person, and this time was no exception. Very coolly, she asked, "I'm looking for President Kim. Is she in?"

As always, the way she addressed Jennie was clear-cut. Only under two circumstances would he call her by name: when they were alone, and when they were with the Kim family.

Otherwise, she would refer to her as "President Kim." Even though Jisoo was already aware of the two's relationship, since they were currently at the company, Lisa made sure to maintain a certain distance from Jennie.

"She is. Please come in," Jisoo laughed and made a "welcome in" gesture.

However, Lisa stayed where he was and insisted, "Help me notify her first."

This wasn't her first time waiting outside Jennie's office to see her, and she'd been turned away before. Although she wasn't sure why Jisoo was allowing her in so easily, she still made sure to be careful.

Jisoo had the intention to refuse, but after seeing how persistent Lisa was being, she wordlessly re-entered the office and then quickly came out again.

"Ms. Lisa, please go in."

Lisa nodded and took two steps forward before stopping to say, "Brother Jisoo, you're my agent now. If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name."

The relationship between the two had always been a distant one, but Jisoo was now Lisa's agent, and Lisa felt that the distance was a bit inappropriate. Moreover, she didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but Jisoo's attitude towards her seemed to have changed; it became a lot more respectful, for some reason.

"Yes. Lisa, please go in." Jisoo didn't reject and called her by name, but his attitude was still just as respectful.

This was probably why Jisoo was able to become one of Jennie's trusted subordinates. The woman always knew his place.

Following that, Lisa entered Jennie's office. Her office was very spacious, and the color scheme was a relatively bright one. The design was simple yet exquisite.

Jennie's desk area was bathed in sunlight, which made it a bit hard for others to see her clearly. This, in turn, gave her a hazy and distant vibe. Lisa pace slowed until he came to a stop about two meters away from her desk.

Unlike before, she didn't continue looking at her documents. This time, she raised her head and made a gesture with her hand, indicating for her to take a seat. Lisa was slightly shocked by the treatment, but he still managed to sit down steadily. Then, he fell into a captivated trance as he stared at her. For a while, she forgot what she was going to say.

She found it a little strange and uncomfortable, so she coughed lightly and asked, "Is there something you need?"

This Woman came looking for her, but Lisa wasn't saying anything. Maybe it was a difficult topic to talk about?

Lisa snapped out of his reverie.

"These scripts are both very good. If possible, I'd like to take up both of them," she said with a cough. The script she had been considering before completely paled in comparison to the two scripts Jennie had found for her. It was hard to choose between the two scripts, so she thought that it'd be great if she could do both.

"If you want both, then you can have both. Which one would you like to shoot first? Any specific requests for the director, producer, and cast? Would you rather make the arrangements yourself, or do you want me to do it?"

Her expression appeared normal, but on the inside, she couldn't help but murmur: Since you like the scripts, why don't you give me a genuine smile in return?

It made her feel more or less disappointed.

Could it be that the scripts weren't enough? Then what else should she gift? A slight headache came over her as she pondered over the difficulty of making someone smile—especially when that someone was a Woman like Lisa.

Before attempting again, would it be better to figure out a way to cure his facial paralysis first?

Meanwhile, her words had caused her to stare at her blankly. Requests for the director, producer, and cast? Did that mean...

"The crew hasn't been established yet? Nothing? I'm the only actor so far?" Lisa asked with uncertainty. Normally, the director would already be confirmed. Otherwise, where did the scripts come from?

Jennie glanced at her and asked, quite seriously, "If you find it troublesome, then I'll have some people handle the rest. If you're interested in doing it yourself, then you can go ahead and make the preparations. Jisoo's available if you need anything. You can come to me, too. Also, acting isn't a long-term thing, so have you ever thought about expanding to other fields?"

She spoke with absolute sincerity, expressing both her support and her willingness to give her space and freedom. Lisa looked at her strangely.

Why was she treating her so well? First, she personally picked out two scripts for her, and now this. Lisa couldn't even find it in herself to feel touched by the sudden change, and instead, she felt skeptical.

"Why are you doing this?"Lisa believed that his nights would become sleepless if she didn't get the answer.

"Why am I doing what?" Jennie asked confusedly as if she didn't know what she meant. And she really didn't. Did she need a reason to treat her well? She knew she was good to her, so naturally, she would be good back!

"Why did you pick the scripts for me? And why are you being so supportive of my career? You weren't like this before, so it feels very strange." Lisa felt that she shouldn't have asked, but keeping silent would've suffocated her.

Over the past three years, her coldness and indifference had really left a deep impression on her. Just thinking about it made her shudder. In seemingly just one night, they suddenly went from the depressing stage of divorce to this.

Lisa found it hard to accept.

Her inability to accept it was due to her not believing that Jennie would treat her well. She was afraid she would find out that it all just a wishful dream. If she fell for it and later learned that the truth wasn't so, she would feel devastated. After all, the one thing that was more despairing than not being able to obtain something was obtaining it and then losing it.

"The past is the past. No matter what happened back then, a person should always look back and reflect. Lisa, from now on, I'll treat you well." This time, she understood her meaning, but she didn't want to make excuses for her past self. What she cared about were the present and the future, and she planned on treating her well in both.

When Lisa heard her words, he instantly became dumbfounded as she stared at her in disbelief.

Lisa thought that his auditory hallucinations must be getting worse...
