The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

"Why would you want him to buy you chocolates when I can always buy you one?" Lisa lifted an eyebrow.

"Because I'm petty." Jennie beamed. "The man did not even give us something when he won against the Corneel twins. Irene was right, you know. I was praying for him."

Taehyung snorted. "He only won because he was familiar with the place. That Corneel sibling was pretty stupid."

"Speaking of the Corneels... I heard Leon will visit Facci Group soon?"

"Yes, he will." Jennie nodded at Lisa. "I believe most of the board members wanted to buy the shares. So... he will be here to sign everything. His two oldest sons will accompany him."

"Not, Veron and Veronica?"

"Of course not." Jennie narrowed her eyes. "If I told them that I hated the twin's presentation, I am sure that Leon would bring them to this meeting. However, I told them that I love the presentation. So he will do the opposite."

"You seemed to be sure that Leon is the one who does not like this deal to happen." Taehyung said without lifting his head to look at Jennie as he ate his breakfast.

"He is the CEO. He knows everything about the company. Moreover, this is a multi-million dollar deal that could forever change the future of their company. There is no way that he would just assign this to one of his sons."

"Fair enough." Taehyung nodded. "Don't worry about it, I will trace every meeting that he had in the past few months. It might take a long time, but it's not that hard to do."

"Thank you." Jennie smiled in response.

After their brunch, Jennie and Lisa decided to take some time to relax as they waited for Eliza and Levi to arrive. While Taehyung was once again typing on his laptop inside Lisa's study.

"Are you going to accompany them around Seoul?" Lisa asked as he sat next to Jennie.

"In Seoul, yes."

"They are going to Busan?"

"Hmmm." She nodded. "Then South East Asia. Eliza likes to travel around the world doing volunteer work here and there while dragging her brother along with her. Mikaela said that the only reason why Levi agreed to accompany her is for her safety."

Jennie continued, "Eliza is a very adventurous type of girl. Totally opposite to her prim and proper elder sister. Of course, I am not saying that this is bad. All I'm saying is... she should be more careful. She is a princess after all."

"You are also a princess, right?" Lisa chuckled. "You should be more careful too."

Jennie rolled her eyes in response. "What princess are you talking about?" She laughed. "You know... when I was younger, I loved princesses and their happy endings. However... as I grew older I realized that being a princess does not actually suit me."

"Really? Why would you say that?" He asked. "If we think about it, Lilian was like your fairy godmother who saved you from the clutches of your stepmother. You are like... Ummm Cinderella?"

"So you are the prince?"

"Of course, I am." He lifted his chin and winked at her. "I think I look like one, no?"

"Dummy." Jennie beamed. "You don't look like a prince, my love. You are a king. There's a difference."

Lisa beamed. He then gave her a small kiss on her cheeks. "So? You are not Cinderella?" he asked.

"My story sounds like Cinderella's story. But... she is too meek for my taste. Considering that the story happened in an era where women are not supposed to be loud and frank, it's good. The story is good. But I think... The hero of the story is not Cinderella." Smiling, Jennie continued. "It's the fairy godmother with her beautiful fairy dust."
