Beauty and the Beast (Book 2)

CHAPTER 24

JENNIE POV

"So, what do you want to ask?" Lisa asked as he sat on my big round white chair in the corner of my room near the window. Yes, we are currently in my house, to be precise, in my room. Maybe other people, especially the maids in my house, felt strange because I brought Lisa to my room, just the two of us. But I don't have a problem because it's been 2 days since I've spent the night with him, in the same room even sleeping in the same bed. And... Okay, we need to stop it here. Back to where we are now. Lisa seemed a little nervous and excited because this was the first time he came in and saw what's inside my room. As soon as he walked into my room, he smiled while scanning to every corner.

Why did we end up at my house? Because we can't talk outside without worry that other people can hear. We also didn't go to Jisoo's house because he thought it could take a long time, and I have to go home today after staying 2 days at Jisoo's house. So to save time, he suggested we talk at my house. He couldn't take me to his house for the same reason. I don't know if he still lives in his apartment in Myeong-dong or not. Who would have thought a Manoban would live in such a place. Away from his family status. Looks like they really didn't want them to know his whereabouts. Want to keep his identity a secret. Therefore, I understand it. And because of that, now we are in my room. I don't want anyone else to hear. Not even by the maids in my house.

"About today's incident. Tell me how you planned and bought YG shares. How do you convince your father to buy it," I said. I chose to find out about this first. He looked at me then smiled with satisfaction. I sat on the edge of the bed not far from where he sat.

"I planned everything since I found out that your mom's company was having trouble with the project from Kim Inc. Sorry, Jen. I didn't mean to cross your privacy. I didn't mean to spy on your family company. But I'm really worried about you. With your sudden change. I remember clearly how you were when we came here to see you. Since seeing you like that, I know something went wrong. There was something that makes you do that, but we didn't know what was that and I didn't know where to look. So I asked Mr Yang to try to dig up a bit of information. That's why you met him in front of the campus. Actually, we didn't expect that he could meet you so quick. He was still looking for ways to make you meet him and make it seem unplanned. And it looks like the luck was on our side as you walked out of that gate, lost on your thought, not paying attention to the way you walked. He immediately took the opportunity and bumped into you." He said. I remember meeting that Mr Yang. I felt weird, but I didn't think any further.

"Mr Yang is a highly trained professional. One of his skills is reading people. So when he tries to get information from you, which you didn't give at all, of course. He tries to test, and there, when he tries his first test, he can see something in your face. So he knows there's a problem with your family company. From there, we looked for information in YG Adv, not easy, but back again, we have people who are experts. So, I'm sorry, Jennie, because I have taken the internal information of your family company without your permission. I'm sorry, but I had to. I'm so worried about you," he said with an apologetic but unrepentant look.

"After I found out about the problems you guys were having, I 'stole' information about the project because I felt that something was definitely not right. I read the contracts and reports on the progress of the project. From there, I know that Jaejoong, as the authority for this project, was trapping your company. I saw some points from the contract that were deliberately, very cleverly double-meaning. If we only read the contract once, of course, we would not be able to find the irregularities. But because I paid attention to it in detail and depth, and compared it to the projects that went wrong and the mistakes they pointed out, I found it. I found that point. But again, because it has double meanings, we cannot immediately show that this was the fault of party 1 or party 2. And, of course, this will be a long dispute, consuming a lot of time and money." He explained.
