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

223

Being able to secure the endorsement for Excalibur Q made Jennie truly happy from the depths of her heart. The words she had said to Stenson wasn't merely for the sake of winning the endorsement, but because she really did like Excalibur Q's road to success. Sometimes, being a spokesperson also depended on fate...

Jennie pulled out her phone, tempted to give Lisa a phone call, but Italy and Beijing had a time difference of 7 hours. She assumed, at this time, Lisa was most likely resting.

After hesitating for a few moments, she ended up sending Lisa a message: "I've secured the endorsement."

Jennie did not expect Lisa to reply, but he surprisingly called her straight away.

Jennie was filled with joy, but the words that came from her mouth was slightly unhappy, "Just because I'm not around, does that mean you can work until late without getting any rest?"

"It's because I knew you would definitely succeed, so I was waiting for your phone call," Lisa sat up and leaned back on the bedhead as he replied.

"You really weren't working?"

Lisa had no choice but to turn on the video chat, "Are you rest assured now?"

"Hon...being able to secure this endorsement makes me so happy."

"I knew you would be really happy," Lisa said with a deeper meaning. He had a sufficient understanding of Jennie and knew she would definitely like the Excalibur Q brand. That's why he even considered this endorsement for her in the first place and even called Stenson to fight for the opportunity.

Reality proved that everything he did, did not go to waste.

"Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine now. With you around, I wouldn't dare to get sick," Jennie smiled.

At a time like this, Lisa was so tempted to be by her side. He wanted to pat her on the head and show his support. But, because of the project with Hong Xin, it wasn't likely he'd get the chance to fly to her side any time soon.

The couple conversed sweetly on the phone as Minho and Rosé knowingly left the hotel suite. However...because they were triggered by Jennie...they both started thinking of the person in their heart.

Rosé even started wondering, if she was to give Jisoo a call at this time, how would he react...

After returning to her suite, Rosé sat on the bed and thought for a while. In the end, she called Jisoo - but he didn't pick up.

Rosé put down her phone; she felt she was overthinking things. It wasn't like they were in a real relationship. So, in the middle of the night, what obligation did he have to pick up her phone?

After taking a deep breath, Rosé reminded herself to control her feelings before putting down her phone and heading into the bathroom...

However, while she was showering, she heard the sound of her phone ringing. Disregarding her wet soapy body, she immediately rushed out of the bathroom. Seeing it was a phone call from Jisoo, she was so excited she immediately picked up the phone.

"Jisoo!"

"What is it?"

As soon as Rosé heard Jennie's raspy voice, she could tell he was still half asleep. She wanted to tell him Jennie had successfully secured the endorsement. But, on second thought, Boss was happy to hear the news because he was Jennie's husband, but Jisoo...what did Jennie mean to him?

So, Rosé opened and closed her mouth, but no words came out. Instead, because she was cold from her soapy body, she ended up sneezing.

"Did you catch the flu?" Jisoo quickly asked.

Rosé heard the caring tone in Jisoo's voice and smiled like a child with candy, "No, I didn't catch the flu."

"Oh...that's good. If you don't have anything else, I'm going to go back to sleep. You should get some rest too."

"OK," Rosé hung up the phone with a silly smile. Actually, she had a lot she wanted to say, but...

...remembering it was the middle of the night and the fact that Jisoo worked hard during the day, she didn't feel right to continue bothering him.

However, as soon as she hung up the phone, she started to feel lonely...

She suddenly felt extremely lonely.

But, she knew how to console herself: since Jisoo picked up the phone in the middle of the night, did that mean, in his heart, she was special to him?

The truth was...

...Jisoo was sleeping soundly when he heard his phone ring. He automatically reached for his phone to see the caller ID. If it was someone else, he would have hung up without hesitation...

...unless it was Lisa. But, after seeing Rosé's name, even though he didn't pick up, he ended up calling her back. On top of that, after hanging up the phone, he found his original sleepiness had completely faded...

Could it be he was missing something?

Jisoo dragged his heavy head back to bed. In reality, he wasn't the type to make exceptions for others. After all, his workplace was Manoban Entertainment; everything at Manoban Entertainment followed formalities. It was only when it came to Rosé that he wanted to make an exception!

He only made an exception for her!

...

Covered in soap, Rosé sat down in the living room for quite some time. As a result...the next day when she woke up, she actually caught the flu. Her voice was so hoarse, she could barely say a word.

Seeing her in discomfort, Jennie looked at her questioningly, "Last night..."

"What about last night?" Rosé avoided Jennie's gaze guiltily. There was no way she was going to admit to catching the flu because of the phone call she made to Jisoo.

Jennie let out a gentle laugh. Deep down she knew exactly what Rosé was thinking. To her, Rosé was like a blank piece of paper, "Do you want me to call Jisoo over?"

"Jennie, you have both Director Lee and I by your side, isn't that enough? Jisoo has his own work to do."

"When did you and Jisoo become like a family?"

"Let's get going, we need to go sign your contract," Rosé sneezed as she covered her mouth with a mask. The weather was cold and Jennie had just recovered from being ill, she couldn't allow her to catch the flu.

Jennie did not respond. But, on the way to Excalibur Q, she sent Jisoo a message.

"What happened between you and Rosé last night? She caught a really bad flu..."

Jisoo was confused, "We simply made a phone call..."

Jennie made a recording of Rosé coughing and sent it to Jisoo, "When she returned to her suite yesterday, she was still fine."

Seeing Jennie's message, Jisoo was a little flustered. What did Rosé catching the flu have to do with their phone call?

Actually, Jennie's hint was extremely obvious; she couldn't be any more straightforward. After all, this was Rosé and Jisoo's business.

It's just, sometimes, while the involved parties were still confused, those watching would start to feel impatient.

Not long after, the trio arrived at Excalibur Q's headquarters ready to head in and sign Jennie's contract. However, Qin Yu and her manager had arrived before them...

As soon as they saw each other, they were both surprised.

Everyone knew that Excalibur Q only had one spot for an Asian model. If they were here to sign a contract, what was the other person doing here?

Of course, because Qin Yu's manager received a phone call from Stenson's assistant, she thought Qin Yu had the endorsement in the bag. As for Jennie...

"Hasn't there been a rumor going around? I heard someone likes playing tricks. If we look at the companies that have been messed up one after another, we can see how terrifying she is. However, if one can't win, then they can't win..."
