The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

The smell of jasmine wafted through the air, as the soft sound of Jazz blanketed Mr. Rossi's office. "I didn't know you like Jazz?" Jennie uttered when she entered the room. "I thought you have a visitor?" Jennie asked. "Contract signing?"

She elegantly sat opposite to him. A sigh escaped the older man's lips. "Too many changes. He had a lot of demands."

"Really?"

"Hmmm. He is a very well-known artist with millions of followers, so I was already expecting this." He then pressed dialed a number on his telephone. "Hey, can you do something about the smell?" he spoke over the phone before turning towards Jennie. "He wanted Jasmine tea and Jazz music. He said... it will make him feel good."

"Not good enough to sign with us," Jennie chuckled. This is normal in any company and this is not the first time that they encountered someone like him. "Well - I was here to see if I could get a signature from him. Too bad, huh?" Seeing the surprise look on Mr. Rossi's face, Jennie instantly giggled.

"You're a fan?"

"Kidding." She beamed. "Find someone else if he wouldn't agree to our terms. While he is well known in Korea, we are well known all over the world. Maybe a Korean artist, one of those cute dancing idols. Their influence is vast in Asia and they are pretty good all in all."

"I understand."

Jennie nodded before she walked out of Mr. Rossi's office so she could go to LM Capital. She instructed Irene to call Lisa for him to wait for her instead of coming to the Facci Group to have lunch with her and everyone else.

"President... It seems that they encountered some problems with the lift." Irene said as she talked to someone on her phone.

"On the executive elevator?" Jennie eyed the elevator in front of them. The number was indeed changing. Up and down, as if someone was playing with it.

Irene nodded in response, "There was a problem. Mr. Li is inside with his PA and Manager." She then showed her the current CCTV inside the elevator. Just as she said, a man wearing a huge gray hoodie was indeed inside with a man and woman wearing suits.

"I don't want to use the stairs," Jennie uttered as she turned towards the elevator for employees. After a few seconds, Jennie reached the ground floor and was greeted by the sight of her employees crowding towards the executive elevator.

"Seems like they were able to fix it," Jennie uttered to herself. She turned towards the parking lot spending no more time on the ground floor. She rarely takes this route, as her executive elevator would always take care of the parking lot for the executives.

"President, someone is calling you."

"Hm?" Jennie halted her steps.

"Mr. Li and his manager are coming our way." Irene whispered. "This man is called Li Xiaoming, his fans call him Baby Xiao because he looks cute and young for his age. His fans are mainly teenagers. Also..." As usual, she started informing Jennie of the background of the man.

Irene knew that Jennie had no idea who this man is. Maybe she did at one point, but she had the tendency to forget non-essential things. Moreover, this is not the first time that Jennie had forgotten an idol's name.

Irene could clearly remember it when they were in Europe, a start-lit called Jennie. Apparently, she and a lot of artists are doing an advertisement for Irene's retail company.

The starlit was very polite towards Jennie. She was smiling and thanking Jennie for choosing her. However, Jennie only responded with an awkward smile. She actually forgot the name of the artist!
