Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 126: I Definitely Won't Be Absent

The assistant's eyes grew wide.

"Before you get destroyed, you should speak up. You should prove your innocence."

If Jennie had not said what she had said earlier, the little assistant would not have believed Kangjun's words, but it was obvious Jennie did indeed have the intention to make her take on the blame.

"I thought Cha Jooeun doesn't have a manager?"

"It's not that she doesn't have one, it's just she doesn't need one." Kangjun laughed at himself. He too had experienced a scandal years ago. Back then, it stirred up an argument between him and Jiwon resulting in one death and one injury. He never imagined, Cha Jooeun would be able to counterattack so smoothly. She only said one sentence and without even making an appearance, she managed to completely turn the tables, placing Jennie Kim under her control.

This woman was indeed amazing. As for him, all he wanted to do now, was give back Cha Jooeun what he owed her.

"If I speak up, how does it benefit me?"

"Firstly, do you actually want to take the blame for Jennie? Do you want to be scolded by everyone? Secondly, as long as you are willing to speak up, I will help you leave YG and get you a job in Sublime." Kangjun handed his business card to the assistant to prove his identity.

The assistant was surprised. Not long after, full of determination she responded, "I am willing to do it!"

Meanwhile, on the same day at 6 PM, a report from Taejoo about Jennie's school life was sitting atop Jeonghwan's office desk. The report was extremely detailed.

"President, this Jennie Kim is quite a problem child. She has long been a bully at school. At just 14-years-old she was expelled from school for beating up a classmate. That's when she moved to Seoul. She is a troublemaker."

So it was this immature little girl that tried to bully Jooeun!

Jeonghwan's eyes were deep and piercing as he lowered his head and glanced over the information before handing it back to Taejoo. "Arrange to have this exposed."

"Yes. But president, have a look at this." Taejoo handed some information over to Jeonghwan. Jennie's assistant had stepped out to admit that Jennie had swapped out her gift to frame Cha Jooeun. If Yves' evidence wasn't enough, this statement was enough to completely shred away Jennie Kim's mask.

"Someone was helping Jooeun."

Jeonghwan processed this information straight away. Afterward, he guessed that the biggest possibility was the manager Yeji had arranged for Jooeun, Seo Kangjun. He was once famous in Sublime for being extremely capable. However, those days were long gone. So Jeonghwan was doubtful of his abilities.

"Don't worry about it."

"Are you really not afraid that he will pose a threat once he becomes madam's manager?"

Jeonghwan's lips slightly curved as he responded. "In what way does he pose a threat?"

Disregarding the disparity in their status, Jeonghwan was certain, there was no way anyone could stand between him and Jooeun. Jooeun was not that type of person. After signing the documents on his desk, Jeonghwan stood up to go home. However, at this time, his secretary suddenly knocked on the door and entered. He urgently said to Jeonghwan.

"President, bad news."

Two international superstars partaking in a film in the US had been injured in an explosion scene. The news was currently going viral and the production company was blaming GK's actors for not following procedures. They were demanding them to compensate for all losses.

Jeonghwan didn't normally deal with issues like this, but this project was GK's main project for the next half of the year. Plus, the person acting as a mediator was his friend. So under these circumstances, it made sense for him to make a personal appearance.

"President, do you want me to immediately book flights for you?"

Jeonghwan gestured for him to stay quiet as he made a phone call to Jooeun.

"Joo..."

"Huh?" Jooeun replied in a soft, gentle tone. "Why aren't you home yet? Look at the time..."

"I might not be able to come home. I have to immediately fly out to the US. Something urgent has happened." Jeonghwan explained.

"Is it really serious? Must you go immediately?" Jooeun was alert as she sat up on the sofa.

"It's just a small issue, but I need to be present for it. I'm just worried about you."

"I'll help you find your passport and help you pack a few clothes." Jooeun did not say much more as she stood up and returned to the bedroom to help Jeonghwan pack his luggage.

Half an hour later she had driven her way over to GK. Jeonghwan personally came down to greet her.

"I don't have much time, I have to leave for the airport now."

Seeing how urgent Jeonghwan was, Jooeun quickly grabbed onto his arm. "Since you are worried about me, why don't you pack me up and take me with you?" Jooeun lifted the luggage in her hand and spoke. "I'm coming with you."

Jeonghwan took one glance at Jooeun. He removed his jacket and wrapped it around her before they both boarded the car.

"What if you have work?"

"Don't you know better than I do, whether I have work?" Jooeun laughed. Jeonghwan was still managing her emails. Although she was now signed with Sublime, it hadn't been officially announced yet. As a result, she still had a few days of freedom. "Plus, didn't we agree that no matter what happens, we would stick together? Keeping you company is what I want to do right now."

Jeonghwan remained silent as he intertwined his fingers with Jooeun's. Even though he wasn't dealing with a big matter, but with Jooeun by his side, he didn't have to worry about her. So he was able to better focus on the issue and handle it better.

Seeing his handsome face soften, Jooeun couldn't help but smile. She knew she had made the right decision. She didn't want to give up any chance she had to stay by Jeonghwan's side through important situations.

Just before the two boarded the plane, Jooeun received a phone call from Yeji. She was worried about the aftermath of Jooeun's incident with Jennie and asked her to go into the office the next day to discuss how they were to announce her contract. However, Jooeun rejected her bluntly. "President Seo, I won't be in the country for the next couple of days. If there's anything, let's talk about it when I get back."

After hearing Jooeun's words, Yeji did not refuse. "OK, it would probably be good for you to relax a bit. Originally I had a show I was going to give to you."

Hearing their conversation, Jeonghwan lowered his head and gazed into Jooeun's eyes. But Jooeun replied calmly. "Oh well, if I lose this opportunity, there's always the next."

A person, on the other hand, is different, she thought. There was only one Lee Jeonghwan. If she lost him, then that would be it.

"OK, then I won't force you. But are you aware of the fact that Kangjun helped you?" Yeji was glad that there was still someone capable of moving Kangjun's frozen heart.

"No, I had no idea." Tangning replied swiftly.

"Then we'll talk about it when you get back. Enjoy your time off."

Jooeun hung up Yeji's phone call exhaustedly.

"Mrs. Cha, you are being too impulsive." Jeonghwan teased with a smile.

"Mr. Lee, I just don't want you to feel like there is no difference between having and not having a wife. As long as I can accompany you, I definitely won't be absent. Even if it means I have to go to the depths of hell, so be it?"
