The Villain's Wife

3

Jennie woke up at ten in the morning.

It was still Friday, so she decided to visit their new retail site, A.R Mall and Boutique, located at the heart of Korea and do a little shopping and inspection before going to the columbarium to pay her respects at her paternal grandmother's niche.

After Irene had confirmed the arrival of the directors, Jennie gave her some directions regarding their itinerary for the day. To her surprise, Irene informed her that James Arison would be accompanying them to the site visit. He said that he intended to introduce her to the managers there.

Although she had not expected James to personally guide her at the site after what happened between them, Jennie still accepted the arrangement and proceeded with her initial plan for the day. After all, it was only reasonable for the CEO of Arison's Holdings to be doing this for the people who just bought their company.

What she did not know was that this news also reached Lisa.

As the CEO of the LM Capital, one of the top banks in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and Korea Lisa had his ways of finding Jennie's itinerary.

"President, Mr. James Arison just landed and is on his way to Miss Kim's place," Secretary Kang said, his confidence dwindling as sweat started to trickle down his back. President's face was so dark that Secretary Kang's soul almost left his body.

"Didn't you tell me that she had already broken off the engagement?" Lisa said. "Why is he still following her around?"

Secretary Kang did not know whether to cry or laugh at the president's words. Why did it seemed like the president's IQ has dropped today? "President... I believe it is perfectly normal for Mr. Arison to come here and guide Miss Kim around the company that she just acquired. Moreover, the acquisition is going to be gradual. Miss Kim made sure to take over in stages so that it will not affect daily operations and the morale of the employees working at that mall."

"Why does it have to be him? He also has a sister and a brother working at their company! Does this mean that the Arison family still want their son to be associated with her?" he reasoned. His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for his secretary to hear. However, the latter chose to remain silent.

Secretary Kang decided that he would ignore what the president said and act as if he had not heard anything. For some reason, ever since Miss Kim arrived last night, the president had been acting like a female with hormonal imbalance. He had been very moody and was always talking to himself.

The worst thing was, the president seemed to overthink everything. From the choice of his suit to his tie, the color of his shoes and his hairstyle. It was as if he was trying to look his best should he encounter Miss Kim.

Secretary Kang could only watch as the president continued to talk to himself. He mentally made a note to send a text message to the president's best friend, to let him know of Lisa's unusual behavior.

Though he was aware of how the president had done everything in his power to find Miss Kim, Secretary Kang still found his boss' actions unbelievable. He never would have imagined that Miss Kim's arrival in the country would turn his cunning and cold boss into an insecure mess. He couldn't wait to see how the President would behave when he is in the same room as Miss Kim.

"When the day comes that Jennie asks for an appointment, I want you to cancel all my meetings and schedule an appointment with her on that same day."

"Eh? But President, how sure are you that she will call for an appointment?" Secretary Kang asked. Was President Manoban becoming a fortune teller now?

The temperature in the room instantly turned a few degrees colder after Secretary Kang asked that question.

"I apologize President... how about I find out more about what Miss Kim went through in Europe?" Secretary Kang instantly suggested, in an attempt to pacify Lisa. Seeing the president nod and signal him to leave, the secretary did not hesitate to leave the office immediately.
