The Villain's Wife

28

Jennie's lips turned up into a smile as she sat down. To think that Lisa could still think of having a date just after a round of drama. Jennie wanted to roll her eyes at this man's antics. But if she was honest about her feelings, she was actually happy that they were finally going on a date like any normal couple.

After Lisa made sure that Jennie was well-seated, he happily took the seat across from her and picked up the menu. He even looked elegant looking at the menu.

After spending more and more time with this man, Jennie realized that whatever she read about him from the news or magazines were really skewed. The media only portrayed Lisa as a cold and aloof man that even his name alone could intimidate others. Perhaps the man intentionally appeared cold to the outside world so that people would fear him.

But towards Jennie, Lisa had always been warm and compassionate. Jennie blushed at the thought that perhaps he was only like this to her. She had seen how cold he was towards Won-Young and Chaerin earlier.

Jennie continued to observe Lisa as he ordered for the two of them. Lili had grown up to be quite a looker, his features were sharp and refined, very good-looking. With his good looks and a natural talent in acting as she had witnessed earlier, she was sure that if he changed his career to acting, he would be successful.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Lisa asked Jennie. His brow was raised and his lips lifted into a smirk.

"I was just thinking about how handsome you are. No wonder I thought that you were an escort when I first met you," she said bluntly as she took a sip of the champagne that Lisa gave her. "You were good in bed too," she added, a little surprise at her bluntness. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and chastised herself for thinking about that night again and even bringing it up. This was unbecoming of her.

Jennie only lifted her head when she heard Lisa's deep chuckles. She quickly composed herself before looking him in the eye. She shouldn't have to be embarrassed talking about sex. She was a 27 year old grown woman! She convinced herself that a casual talk about sex between two grown persons was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"I can't blame you for thinking that way," Lisa said while staring at Jennie. "It was my first time, I was just trying to impress you." He chuckled once again as his gaze darkened. "Of course, this doesn't mean that I wouldn't try to impress you the second time," he said casually. He threw a smirk at Jennie who quickly lowered her head again. So much for her earlier convictions!

Why does it seemed that she was the one who was embarrassed talking about this topic? Jennie decided not to dwell on this topic any longer. "So do you have any other plans after this dinner? This is our first date after all," she said.

"Let's go dancing, that's if you want to?"

"Where?" she asked.

"There is a ballroom two floors down. There should be a benefit ball today as well. The owner of this restaurant owns the ballroom and he would organize a benefit ball every now and then. The patrons of the restaurant are encouraged to join the ball."

"Did you set this all up?" she asked. 'A ball after dinner? Isn't that too coincidental?'

"Hmmm..." He just nodded and smiled, his eyes hopeful that she would agree.

"You are wearing a suit, whereas I'm just wearing a simple sundress," she stated.

"I have a dress ready for you. I just have to call Daohu to bring it over after we are done with our meal," he answered. Since Lisa was the one who planned tonight's date, and it seemed as if the preparations were made in advance, Jennie wasn't surprised that he had also prepared an outfit for her.
