The Villain's Wife

21

Lisa and Jennie had decided to return to Korea as soon as possible after the matter with Akane was taken care off. After taking a well-deserved break from work, it was time for them to return as work that was piling was most likely piling up for the both of them.

"After Seulgi takes care of the paperwork... we will be officially married," Lisa said as he typed on his laptop. At the present, they were travelling in Lisa's car to Jennie's apartment.

"Are you sure that a photo like that would suffice for our marriage certificate?" Jennie asked, while she scrutinized a photo that they had randomly taken together during their trip. In her knowledge, a couple applying for a marriage certificate would need to be present at the marriage registration office. Moreover, they would also need to take a photo together at the premise for their marriage certificate. However, Lisa insisted that Seulgi could process their marriage application without their presence and personal involvement.

"Hmmm... I know someone in the office who will ensure that everything goes well. Don't worry about it," he answered, his eyes still glued to his laptop. "I missed a lot of work when I was out so I will have to trouble you to wait for me tonight."

"I also have a lot of meetings today," she answered. "I might stay up late too. Also... when am I moving into your place?"

"You want to live in Sky City?" he turned to look at Jennie in surprise.

"Of course! One of the perks of being your wife is to live in Sky City!" she said. She always wondered what would the view be like living on the highest floor of the tallest building in Seoul anyway.

"Profiteer." Lisa muttered, chuckling at her blunt words. "Let's do it tomorrow. I will get someone to help you move your things. For your convenience, I will also prepare a unit in Sky City for your secretary and your people to move into."

"Good enough." She nodded, satisfied with his arrangement. Jennie then side-eyed Lisa who was still busy on his laptop and her mind began to wander. 'She would officially be Mrs. Manoban soon. Does this mean that they would need to consummate their marriage?' She swallowed her saliva and secretly chastised herself. 'What was she thinking in the middle of the day?! Is Lisa's shamelessness influencing her?'

Jennie decided to shut her eyes to avoid looking at her soon-to-be husband, afraid she might not be able to control her wandering thoughts. After a few minutes, they finally arrived at Jennie's apartment. Lisa helped her with her luggage and made her some food before he left for work. By the time Lisa got to his office, it was already afternoon.

Lisa and Jennie had a mutual understanding towards each other when it came to their work. They understood the difficulties and pressure that came with managing a company with thousands of employees.

After Lisa left, Jennie also started working on the documents that Irene had printed for her over the weekend.

"President... I just received a call from Cathy from Europe. I think we may have a little problem with the Arisons." Irene's voice interrupted Jennie.

"What is it?" she asked as she massaged her temples. Jennie was exhausted, having just returned from the trip. But work still had to be done or else they would continue to pile up.

"Mrs. Arison just exposed to the media that you were the one who cancelled the engagement. She even shed some tears on the cooking show she participated in, as if she had some unspoken grievances." Irene stated.

"Irene..." Jennie rolled her eyes at her secretary before she continued with her work. "This is not a problem. I don't care about rumors like this. Besides I am already married so..."
