Lisa is currently at Irene Bae's shotgun seat. She doesn't actually know she was obeying Irene's order but she did without even knowing where she's supposed to go.
What happened earlier really hurt her. She's well aware that Jennie married her because she wanted to stop the marriage that's bound to happen to her and Kim Hanbin.
Kim Hanbin's family is actually richer than of Jennie's clan. Well, unknown why these people call themselves rich when in fact they're really not. Given that they do have their own company but that's just not it. Their company's not really famous and big, overall, they are just on the middle class part.
While Lisa's thinking of where she should go, Irene kept on glancing at the younger girl looking like a lost puppy on her passenger seat. She secretly smiled and mumbled.
"What a cutie."
Lisa turned her head to look at Irene who's currently driving and said, "Sorry?"
With that, Irene's face turned back to her previous cold one.
"I said, where should I drop you off?"
Lisa this time thought real hard again and shyly responded,
"Uh, you can just stop your car here and I'll just walk from here."
Irene looked at Lisa's deep dark eyes.
"There are no buildings here so tell me, where are you going?" She asked seriously.
Lisa this time looked down and played with her long fingers and shyly said,
"I actually don't know where I am going. I was just walking around and you saw me that way. I'm sorry for bothering you."
Irene figured out and smiled in her mind with her thought,
'Dear Kim, thank you for this opportunity.' And smirked, luckily Lisa didn't see that.
Irene simply asked,
"Did someone bully you again?"
Lisa looked up and looked at Irene's beautiful face and shook her head.
"No no no, I'm fine. I just had some uh you know, I left home and I actually have nowhere to go so I'm just wandering around since I have no one here aside from my wife." She sadly stated.
Irene this time just stared at Lisa's sad face and said nothing. She just silently drove and Lisa looked at her wondering but she just shut her mouth up thinking that maybe she hates nosy people.
45 minutes of silence, finally Irene stopped her car in front of a mansion.
Lisa looked at her, confused.
"Where are we, Miss Bae?"
Irene coldly answered her with,
"My house." Then she stepped out of her car.
But Lisa was still confused yet she gets out of the car.
She also thought that maybe this is it. She'll stay at home and she'll be on her way now so she bowed at Irene and humbly said,
"Thank you, Miss Bae. I'll get going now."
As she was about to turn her heel to leave, Irene's cold voice stopped her.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Lisa looked at her, confused.
"Uh, I'm leaving?" She answered, unsure.
Irene also looked at her as if tired of speaking,
"You'll stay here. No more talks."
But Lisa waved her hands in front of her and hurriedly said,
"Oh no, I'll be on my way, Miss Bae. I'll stay at my friend's home this time. I'm fine. Thank you so much."
Given that Irene really looks like a goddess and Lisa's quite attracted to her but Lisa really can't stay there. She's afraid that she'll trouble Irene more.
"No, you're staying here." Irene said annoyed while walking away from Lisa and silently mumbled,
'Why is she so stubborn? She prefers to stay with that so called friend instead of me? What the hell?'
"Really, I'll take my leave now. Thank you so much. I owe you lots." Lisa said.
Irene turned around and said to Lisa this time,
"Fine, I'll take you to that friend you're talking about. It's quite late."
Again, Lisa shook her head.
"No, you look tired, Joohyun. You stay here, okay? I'll be fine." She smiled at Irene and waved her hand goodbye.
Irene blushed instantly when she heard what Lisa just called her looked at Lisa's back and silently said,
"Take care, baby."
-
Lisa walked real fast not wanting to face Irene's scary expressions. Also, she doesn't know what to say anymore if Irene will persiShe took her phone from her pocket then turned it on.
She saw 29 missed calls and 3 texts from Jennie that contains;
'Lisa, where are you?'
'What time will you be coming home?'
'Take care.'
She just sighed and typed a reply,
"I'll go there tomorrow to get my things."
Jennie saw her phone lit up and anxiously checked it then she saw Lisa's message.
Her heart broke when she read Lisa's message. She thought that maybe Lisa was just bluffing her a while ago but it seems like that's not the case.
With shaking hands, she dialed Lisa's number.
Lisa was hesitant whether to pick it up or not but after several rings, she did.
"Hello?" When Jennie heard LIsa's voice, she felt something inside her stirred.
"Where are you now?" Jennie tried to suppress her feelings this time.
Lisa replied,
"I'm on the road, I'll be staying at my friend's house temporarily. Why?"
Jennie remembered that Lisa barely had friends. Not barely, she really has no one. So figured that Lisa's lying. She took her coat and said,
"Where exactly are you? I'll come pick you up."
Lisa just shook her head as if Jennie could see her and replied,
"No, I'm fine. I'll be there tomorrow. Take care." Then she hung up.
Lisa was really puzzled why Jennie was acting that way but she's just mad this time. She just wanted to get out of that family and have some air.
'Isn't that what they want? Me gone? Then I'm granting it now.' Sighing, she called Jiyong to book her a room at the Bruschweiler Tower and took a cab.
On her way there, she was organizing her thoughts and plans about the company Old Manoban gave her. First, she wants to study everything and comprehend everything to make it better. Well, that Hotel is actually the best in the country. It has several branches all over the world but the one she's handling is the main one.
Bruschweiler Tower is really Old Manoban's property. It cannot be touched by her own husband because she established it with her own power. So Lisa was really astonished that her Grandma gave it to her.
Lisa had an IQ of 162 at the age of 8, 2 points higher than Hawking and Einstein, quite alluring to hear but now, who knows.
Although she was truly gifted, nobody in her family except her Grandma liked her.
Some says that she's a curse and that her intelligence is all she has but aside from that, she's purely a disgrace.
On the day she was born, everyone was so excited waiting for her to come out. But when they saw what she has, they were all upset, disheartened and whatever you may call it. From that day on, they all hated her even though they were all aware that it wasn't her fault and choice.
Her parents didn't touch her by then, she grew up with maids taking care of her. Her Grandma. But aside from them, no one loved her. But her Grandma told her not to hate anyone. To stay kind. To be always humane even if everyone will shame her. And she managed to do all of it at once.
At the age of 8, maybe her clan couldn't stand seeing her anymore, they all worked together to kick her out of the house and the clan. She saw her parent's cold faces, her Aunts and Uncles and especially her Grandpa. They drove her out of the family and took her to Sevierville. She was a Manoban with no value. She just endured it and thought that maybe it's for the best.
Taking her out of her trance, the cab stopped at the entrance of the Hotel. After she paid the driver, she stepped out of the car and walked to the entrance.
At this time, Chahee was walking through the hotel lobby when she saw Lisa. She was about to change her route but Lisa already saw her. Lisa simply brushed some look at her and continued to walk towards the elevator when Chahee approached her and bowed nervously.
"Good evening, Chairman."
Lisa just nodded and went to the lift.
Chahee breathed a sigh of relief and thought,
'Setting everything aside, Lisa really looks good. Glad that she's kind so I was able to keep this job.'
-
When Lisa hung up, Jennie thought about all the bad stuffs Lisa heard with her standing in there not defending her little wife. Well not so little.
At the same time she was worried. Lisa never had a friend, no relatives and acquaintances. She doesn't even know where to start looking for her but she heard her father from downstairs.
"Jennie, I saw Lisa entering a luxurious car, I had a faint glance at the owner and saw that it was a woman. Do you have any idea who was that?" Her father Jaehyun innocently said.
Jennie's expression turned cold and said,
"I don't care." and immediately went upstairs.
"Damn you, Manoban. Is that the friend you are talking about? You'll see."
