The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

"So the decided to nominate you and your company?" Jennie asked. "For the financial services provider?"

"Hmmm."

"Then... this meant interview and TV guesting, right?"

"Yes. Seulgi already fixed my schedule for the next few weeks. The awards are in two weeks so... the schedule is pretty tight."

Jennie nodded and smiled. This award is pretty big in Seoul's business industry. "You wasted three years of your company just because of the Zhou Family." She stated before she stood from his lap and walked towards the seat opposite to him. "I am so happy for you."

"The timing is bad. I was about to decline it. The schedule only meant that I will busy. I don't want to stay in the office as I try to catch up with my paperwork just because of some interview."

"Yet, you said yes."

"I figured that... winning this award would mean that I get to thank you in public." He answered before he started typing on his laptop. "I am doing as much work as I can now so I can have some free time in my schedule."

"You don't have to do that." Jennie gestured for Irene to gave her the food that she bought earlier. It was some doughnuts and a slice of chocolate cake that looked really appetizing in her eyes. "I mean... I can always go with you in your interviews and guesting. It's not that big of a deal. I can act as your manager, scriptwriter, makeup artist, director, and maybe even your secretary."

A low chuckle escaped his lips. "You do know... its an interview and not an audition for a TV series, right?"

"Oh! I would have loved to see your abs on TV." She beamed. "Never mind that. I don't want any other woman to see that." She nodded towards Irene and gestured for her to leave. She then laughed inwardly at the discomfort in her secretary's face.

"I think it is high time that you give Seulgi a vacation. I can force Irene to accompany him on a remote island somewhere." She added. "I can act as your secretary for a few days, you know."

He raised his head and stared at her mischievous grin. "Very tempting Madam Manoban but you are pregnant. You don't need to stress yourself over my schedule."

"Well... Seulgi is working his ass off. I think... I can already see his scalp. He might go bald before he turns thirty. Now that will be a big problem, I don't think Irene would like to be with a bald man." She met his eyes and laughed.

"So you were staring at his... scalp?"

"My... is that jealousy in your eyes?" she teased before she rolled her eyes and opened her cake. "Its a joke President Manoban."

Surprisingly, Lisa gave a low chuckle. "I know... Seulgi is an inch shorter than me. You won't be able to see his scalp as he is always standing around me."

"Are you saying that I'm a dwarf?"

Lisa laughed a heartfelt laughter. Jennie's talent in putting words in his mouth seemed to increased because of her pregnancy. "Aren't you?" he laughed even more, his voice echoing inside his office.

Jennie pouted before she shoved a slice of cake in her mouth. "Then go find another manager for your interview. I won't accompany you anymore."

"Madam Manoban.... Talking while your mouth is full is not good." He said, smiling. Seeing his wife pout while eating is just the cutest thing. How could he resist doing this to Jennie?

"President Manoban must have forgotten... I have a very talented mouth." Jennie said before turning away from Lisa.

"Seulgi..." Lisa called his secretary over the phone. After a few seconds, Seulgi walked inside.
