The Villain's Wife

"Head Yu, I tried calling you earlier to tell you that we encountered some problems in the temple." Little Xiao immediately approached the woman. "There are a lot of..."

"Miss Xiao, I think you misunderstood." Head Yu furrowed her brows. "This studio is already taken. Someone was scheduled to have a photoshoot in this place in the next thirty minutes. So pack up and..."

"But they told me that this studio is not booked by anyone." Little Xiao reasoned. "I called the people from the studio and they confirmed that this is vacant for today."

"Well - not anymore." Head Yu shifted her gaze towards the people setting up the lighting. "Stop that... pack up. You are going back to the temple."

"I don't have the time for that." Jennie suddenly stood from her seat and walked towards them. She stood in front of the woman named Head Yu and stared at her. "I guess you are the Editor-in-Chief who was too busy to meet me when I arrived?"

"I am Yu Lin, the Editor In chief. I- "

"Then... thank you for the invite, Miss Yu." Jennie said. She smiled at the woman. "I will leave now."

"Miss Kim where are you going?" When Jennie ignored her, Yu Lin was forced to run after Jennie and blocked her way. "There must be some misunderstanding."

"Is there?" Jennie lifted an eyebrow. "I heard the photographer called someone from the studio earlier and heard them confirmed that no one was scheduled to use this place. Since you don't want me here... then, I am leaving."

"I - Miss Kim... that is not- "

"Mrs. Manoban." Jennie blurted. "Call me Mrs. Manoban."

"Mrs. Manoban, my apologies. It's just that..."

"What?"

"Mrs. Manoban... would it be alright, if we talk in my office?" she asked hesitation flooded her eyes. She was truly in a tough situation right now, ah. Yu Lin never actually thought that Jennie would make her current dilemma even worse.

"Lead the way." Jennie smiled as she followed Yu Lin towards her office just a few feet away from the studio.

"Please take a seat. Do you want something? Coffee, Tea?"

"No. Go directly to the point," Jennie said. A sigh instantly escaped the woman sitting opposite her.

"As you know... we are affiliated with the Yu Entertainment." Yu Lin started. "In fact... my stepbrother is the CEO of Yu Entertainment." She gave Jennie a sad smile. "Mrs. Manoban, I am sure that we invited you before the news about Mr. Manoban occupied all the entertainment website." Seeing Jennie nod at her words, she continued.

"Well... today, while I was preparing for our interview. My stepbrother called me and asked me to feature Cindy Hao in the next month's magazine. When I heard this... I immediately told him that you are our next month's cover. However, he insisted that I accommodate his request and even told me that Cindy Hao is already on her way for a photo shoot today."

"Is that so?" Jennie asked.

"Yes. Now... I was just trying to avoid any trouble. I know there is no way that the two of you could have this photoshoot at the same time. So I - I have to ask you and Little Xiao to leave." She gritted her teeth as she stood from her chair and gave Jennie a low bow. "I really apologize for this misunderstanding."

"Tell me, Miss Yu." Jennie gestured for her to stop bowing. "Did you tell anyone that I will be here today?" she asked.

"Yes, all the executives know this matter, including our CEO with my stepbrother." Guilt flashed in Yu Lin's eyes. "I know it was a mistake but... I was too excited. Our company wanted to stop using models and actresses as covers, and we wanted someone strong and independent. You are the only one that fits the values that our company wanted to promote." She let out a sighed. "I cannot do anything about this matter. I have to listen to the people above me so... I really hope that you will understand me on this matter."
