The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

Lisa only chuckled in response. As the lights were focused on the stage, not many people were paying attention to the couple. After the announcement of the individual winners, they asked everyone to enjoy some dance intermission numbers before they continued with the awards.

This was also another opportunity for everyone to get some fruits and refreshments.

"Strawberry juice." Jennie answered when Lisa asked her what she wanted to have. He nodded in response and stood from his seat to get her juice. Almost everyone in the venue was having wine or champagne. However, they still had a variety of juices available for everyone that does not like alcohol.

Aside from this, they also served some vegetarian snacks and sweets that were good for pregnant women.

"You don't drink wine?"

Jennie turned towards her left. She shook her head and smiled at the older man. She was sure that this was the same man who was talking about Mr. Lao earlier. "Health issues." She added.

"By the way, congratulations. To be honest, I was not expecting Mr. Manoban to win as this was the first time he was nominated." He chuckled.

"Thank you." Jennie answered. "Mr. Lao is already a veteran in the industry. He deserved the recognition as well." This time, Jennie decided to spend this night celebrating and just being with Lisa. There is no need for pointless arguments or scheming.

"Here you go." Lisa said as he sat down next to Jennie. He then started talking to the older man. Slowly, the conversation became jovial. As they started talking about business and the current economy.

Jennie could only smile as she listened. She watched as many other businessmen started to talk to Lisa. It was a peaceful thing to watch. Him being surrounded by men who wanted to build connections and business partnerships with him.

While Jennie knew that some of these people might be scheming behind their backs but she decided not to deal with this now. This was Lisa's night and he should have all the spotlight that he deserved.

"My lovely wife is working with various agencies that protect women and help them get back on their feet." Lisa said as he eyed her. As expected, he never failed to acknowledge Jennie even while he was talking with these people.

Isn't that sweet? Too sweet.

For him to still mention her even when she already took a step back so he could have the spotlight all by himself.

Jennie smiled in response. "We are working closely with the LM Capital to achieve our goals." She answered.

"I heard that the Facci Group is working on branching out into the Petroleum industry?" One businessman chimed in. "Is that true?"

"This matter requires countless meetings to decide. For now... we are keeping our doors open."

"Smart." The man smiled. "It is always nice to think about your steps carefully. After all, this is such a big step for you and the Facci Group. Nonetheless, all of us will support you as this will also help the economy of Korea."

"Speaking of the economy, did you see how the market seemed to fluctuate lately? The price of oils are rising again."

"True."

The businessmen started talking about other stuff again which made Jennie smile. Right now, she does not want to talk about Facci Group but Lisa and the LM Capital. She eyed her husband who was already staring at her.

"Are you tired?" he leaned towards her.

"No."

"Hungry?"
