Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 2)

208

The next morning, the entertainment news was doing a live broadcast of the spectacle at Beijing airport. TV broadcasters were at the scene reporting live.

"I'm afraid this is the first time I've seen such a scene, not only in my entire career - but in my entire life. A huge number of fans have gathered here today, not because they like someone, but because they dislike them."

"We can see live at the scene, plenty of banners and signs; they are all trying to express anger towards the model, Jennie.",

After speaking, the reporter looked down at her watch before looking up again, "From what we know, Jennie's flight will be arriving at 10am, which is less than 20 minutes from now. Right now, the airport is urgently preparing security. On behalf of all the reporters present, I hope Jennie will be able to get out safely without getting hurt."

After seeing the news, Rosé lifted the remote and turned off the TV. She then turned to look at Jennie. She was currently standing beside the square dining table pruning some flowers.

"I've already organized for the lawyers to send out your contract termination letter. I am assuming, at this time, it has arrived in Chungha's hands," Rosé said to Jennie.

Jennie remained silent as she continued what she was doing.

"Jennie...did you know last night, I looked through all the abuse online? Do you know how upset I was? Look! my eyes are swollen from crying..." Rosé sulked as she pointed to her walnut-shaped eyes.

"You deserve it," Jennie replied calmly.

"Didn't I do this all because of you? You sure stand out from the rest. While other people's fans are waiting at the airport to greet them and serenade their love for them, look at your fans - they are holding banners telling you to get lost, demanding for you to apologize and cursing you to die..."

"It seems, after this battle, my name will go down in the history books," Jennie continued to prune the roses in her hands before arranging them beautifully in a glass vase.

Jennie could guess what Rosé was trying to do; she was simply trying to check on her emotions.

After all the ups and downs she had already been through, she honestly did not care about the damage caused by rumors anymore. Once upon a time, she endured the pain - these days, she simply did not care.

Rosé was happy with the results of her probing; she had tried her best to provoke Jennie, yet she remained completely calm. So, she slowly let go of the anxiety she felt.

At this time, Rosé decided to change the topic and talk about something more uplifting. However, Jennie suddenly received a phone call from Kim Chungha.

After seeing the caller ID, Rosé asked Jennie if she wanted to pick up. Jennie put down the scissors in her hand and retrieved the phone from Rosé.

"Have you already returned?" Chungha asked. She knew, if Jennie was still on the plane, there was no way she'd be able to pick up the phone.

Chungha had just received Jennie's contract termination letter, so she assumed Jennie was already back in the country. This was expected of Jennie; as if she would give anti-fans the opportunity to surround and obstruct her.

"I got back last night!" Jennie replied calmly without trying to hide anything.

The two people who had once played a long game of tug-of-war, under such circumstances, unexpectedly conversed calmer than usual.

If from the start, Chungha had not decided to classify their relationship as one between a higher level and lower level - if they were simply friends - perhaps, they would have never gotten to the point where they were today.

"I've received your contract termination letter..." Chungha looked over the letter again; she had mixed feelings. Actually, she did not know what she should say to Jennie at this moment. But, as the CEO, she had the responsibility of expressing the agency's standpoint, "Jennie, are you aware that you've caused YG to suffer a huge loss?"

"You should go speak to the person that exposed the information," Jennie hinted at Ian.

"Regarding this matter, YG has indeed been useless and have not carried out its responsibilities. So, between you and I, mistakes have definitely been made, this can't be denied. Hence, I have already approved your contract termination."

"Thank you," Jennie replied.

"After this, YG will announce that they have expelled you from the agency. I have no choice but to do this, after all, I am a business person."

"You don't need to find an excuse for your shamelessness." After a moment of silence, Jennie found something suitable to say, "Seeing me get to this point, you must be happy. After all, you've won and destroyed the career I have worked so hard to build."

Happy? Kim Chungha did not feel happiness at all.

"Jennie, I am aware that it is wrong for me to be so competitive, but your personality is also not suited for the entertainment and fashion industries; you stand in too many people's way. You make people around you appear dirty and shameful. As a result, there are plenty of people that want to see a model with high morals do something indecent, be tricked and receive humiliation."

"So, the result today - you deserve it!"

"I guess you're excited to imagine how I will live my life like an unwanted sewer rat. Did you think I've been destroyed without a chance of revival?" After asking this question, Jennie was silent for a moment before smiling.

"At least you can still live your life in hiding...That's why I've decided not to chase you for the losses you've caused the agency. Think of this as a token of my friendship."

Jennie suddenly started laughing, in fact, her voice started resounding as her stomach began to hurt from the laughter, "In that case, I must really thank you for letting me off in the end."

"YG will make their announcement in the afternoon!"

At that time, Chungha expected the announcement to be a destructive attack on Jennie.

"Do as you please," Jennie did not sound defeated, in fact, she sounded fearless.

Chungha assumed Jennie was holding back her anger. She thought she understood Jennie; even if she was to lose everything, she was the type to maintain her pride.

After hanging up the phone, Chungha turned to look at Ian who was sitting beside her and reluctantly said, "Jennie's contract has been terminated. Go handle what's remaining. After all, it seems there is no difference whether this agency has me or not."

"I never intended to force you. I simply did not want you to go soft."

"Keep telling yourself that. If that's all, then leave." After speaking fiercely, Chungha placed her focus on the documents in front of her.

How could she be willing to accept that the agencies fate had been placed in the hands of an Artists Director?

Ian was aware that, this time, he had not only tread on Chungha's bottom line...he had also tread on her icy cold heart.

"Although you may feel disgusted by my actions...all these years in YG, I have never thought of betraying YG nor you. Even though I have done many things for my own self-interest, don't tell me you haven't noticed that I indeed care for you as a friend?"

Hearing this, Chungha was amused, "I am extremely disgusted."

"I think you better focus on handling this matter with Jennie. Or else, I won't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth."
