The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 58

"Then talk," Lisa agreed begrudgingly.

"No problem, but I have to know your situation first, yeah? Boss, why don't you tell me more about you and sister-in-law?" Bambam inquired tentatively, his eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.

That was when Lisa started to regret giving her a chance to talk. Was it right for a playboy to be this gossipy?

"Just tell me what you do when you go on a date, the rest is none of your business." she wasn't going to tell anyone else about her and Jennie. That was their story, and their little secret. No one else should know about them.

Bambam pursed his lips and gave up to start pondering seriously over date ideas instead. It wasn't that he didn't want to persist, but he knew what kind of person Lisa was. The man clearly wasn't going to tell her anything, so Bambam could only speculate on his own.

"There are all kinds of dates. Usually, you would take the girl out to eat, shop, and then you rent a hotel room. But I'm guessing that's not what you want to do, right boss? Do you want the date to be romantic or thrilling? You can tell me that much, at least?"

Lisa thought about it before responding, "Something special, relaxing, and not messed up."

she wasn't a very romantic person, and she didn't think Jennie was either. she would rather relax than do something thrilling, and she believed she was the same. she thought she would like a date that was special and relaxing.

"Tsk!. Boss, you're no fun. Won't Queen Jennie think you're too uptight?" Bambam looked at Lisa worriedly. He knew that the woman was an iceberg, but she hadn't expected her to be so conservative too! Relaxing? What relaxing? Only old married couples would want that!

This time, Lisa was really choked up. Just the other day, she was deemed stupid by Jennie, and now she was being called uptight by Bambam. Could it be that Jennie thought so too?

When his thoughts reached this point, his expression fell and was imbued by a hint of disappointment. How was she supposed to change his personality?

When she saw the conflicted emotions flicker across Lisa's face, Bambam laughed, but after that, she felt a bit envious.

Bambam thought: If I had my own true love, I wouldn't play around and be fickle for the fun of it.

Life was just too boring for her. If she could find a love to put his whole heart into, she would be a lucky woman.

"Ah, boss. Don't lose heart, I was just teasing you. Mrs. Jennie definitely isn't an ordinary woman, maybe she likes mature and restrained men like you," Bambam consoled, but he really did think that way. Why else would Mrs. Jennie marry his Boss Manoban? She wouldn't marry her if she didn't like her.

Or at least, that was what Bambam believed. In his mind, Jennie wasn't someone who would force herself to marry someone she didn't like.

In reality, the reason she chose Lisa to be her marriage partner was that she appreciated his maturity and restraint, not because she had romantic feelings for her. Of course, his good looks and simple background were important factors too, though, at the time, she didn't know that she was actually a member of the prestigious Manoban family.

Although Lisa remained silent, she did regain some of his previous confidence. However, she noted Bambam's words, that she was too uptight.

.....

Evening.

When Lisa pulled up in front of the company, she was over half an hour ahead of schedule.

Earlier, she called Jennie to confirm that she would pick her up from work. Turning his head, she glanced at the bouquet of roses in the backseat. There were ninety-nine roses in the bouquet, which she admittedly was quite tacky. Even so, his face was red, and his heart was racing with nervousness. Would Jennie like the flowers? Of course, she knew that she was fond of flowers, but would she like the roses that she got for her?

Maybe he should get rid of them, it would be awkward if she ended up disliking them... but Bambam had said that every date should have flowers involved, usually one or two to show appreciation, and more on special occasions. The first official date counted as a special occasion, right?

Jennie learned about Lisa's arrival from Jisoo, who actually didn't know about their date. He only said it in passing when he looked out the window and noticed Lisa's parked outside. Jennie suddenly lost the mood to continue working and decided to get off work twenty minutes early.

As a result, Lisa was still internally struggling about whether or not she should keep the roses when Jennie suddenly opened the door to the passenger's seat and got in.

"Let's go," she said, fastening her seatbelt. She didn't say much and instead threw the initiative to Lisa, who jumped in shock.

She looked at her with a stiff expression before stealthily moving his gaze to the backseat. Did she not notice the huge bouquet? Then... should she say something about it?

The keen Jennie immediately picked up on his odd behavior. She followed his gaze and saw the flowers.

Although she was somewhat surprised, her face remained expressionless. "For me?"

"Mhm, do you like it? I saw it in a flower shop on my way here, thought it was really pretty and bought it." she was too embarrassed to say that she had deliberately stopped by a flower shop to buy the bouquet, afraid that she would think she had poor taste. This was his first-time giving flowers to someone.

Like it? She was surprised, but she didn't really like the roses... However, when she looked at them again, she suddenly felt that they did look rather pretty. But what a pity.

"You should get a potted plant next time. Actually, the seeds are fine too. They'll last longer." No wonder her EQ was so low; the woman sent her roses, but she responded by saying she wanted a potted plant instead. Really, she wasn't any more experienced than Lisa was.

For a moment, Lisa was shocked, and then his expression changed to one of regret and delight. she nodded earnestly to show that she was listening. On the inside, she was blaming Bambam for the failure.

she knew that the guy was unreliable. When Bambam said to send flowers, Lisa had mentioned Jennie's preference for potted plants, but Bambam had laughed at her, saying she didn't know anything about romance.

But clearly, it was Bambam who didn't know anything about romance. If Lisa had gone with his own idea, then the date would've started off better.

Hmph. she wasn't going to believe that playboy anymore. Playboys were completely unreliable!
