The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

On the next day, Jennie went to the Facci Group as usual. She wanted to know more about the things that her brother found out. Unfortunately for her, Taehyung hadn't found out anything.

"Like nothing? No mails, calls or even a text message? He just went straight home?" she asked.

"Nada."

"Strange."

"Very strange." He nodded, his eyes on his computer. "Not even Qi Xia. Both of them are not calling or texting. Well that might be because Qi Xia is also very busy with his company and a gaming summit is going to be held soon."

"Still." Jennie sighed. Maybe she was just over thinking? "You know what? I think I should stop thinking about this."

"Hmmm."

"Irene?"

"President."

"What do I have for today?"

"You were supposed to review- "

"Give me something that is not boring." She interrupted her secretary before sighing. She then leaned against her leather chair and inhaled the scent of freshly brewed coffee from Taehyung's table. She missed coffee, she thought. However, just thinking about coffee immediately made her frown.

Last night, it was one of the ingredients that she used for her chocolate carrot cake. It turned out to be so bitter even her husband was not able to control himself and told her it sucked. She pouted. Lisa never said harsh words about her cooking. So, him saying something like that could only mean that it was inedible.

This immediately dampened her passion to learn.

"Mr. Rossi is meeting the person that is about to become the ambassador for Harmony Isle in Asia. He is an actor, an idol wait... it says that he is a multi talented, actor, dancer and singer. With tens of millions of followers on his Weibo. He just finished a very successful series with him as the lead actor. It trended not just in Asia but also in Europe and Australia."

"Sounds interesting." Jennie said almost lazily. "How old is he?"

"Twenty five."

"Oh." Disinterest flashed in Jennie's eyes. "Hey, Taehyung." She turned towards her brother.

"Hmmm?"

"You were an idol before. What do you think of being in the limelight again?"

"No thanks."

"Was it that boring?"

"More like tiring and toxic."

"Oh." Jennie nodded. "Do you think... I would be a good actress?"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I said no."

Eyes widened, Jennie waited for him to give her a reason why he thought that way. However, Taehyung did not even glance at her direction. "Hey! What do you mean? Are you saying that I can't be an actress?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You are too bold. That is not going to work."

"Oh!" Jennie pursed her lips. She thought her brother would say something along the line of her not having a talent to act, turns out it was about the industry and how they viewed female actresses. She nodded in approval of his words. Most people in Korea would prefer the cutesy, kind and gentle actress. The white flower ones. Obviously, Jennie was nothing like those women. "Call Mr. Rossi, tell him I will attend this meeting. Also... can you schedule a call with Cathy and don't forget to check for Mr. Corneel's flight schedule so we can accommodate him once he visits Seoul with his sons.
