Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter 32

JENNIE'S POV:

I woke up quite early today. No, not because I had a good night sleep. It was because I woke up after I had a nightmare-a terrible one.

In that nightmare, I saw Lili replaced my old Boss and became an overbearing young CEO who enslaved me into working with her ... both day and night, in the office and in her room. I woke up after I remembered that Lili acted so overbearing and dominated me under her.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face, and looked myself in the mirror, "Jennie, whats wrong with you? Seriously,Dreaming about lili! And why is she on top of you! Jennie, you clearly have a problem," I said to myself in the mirror. Knowing that I had been talking with myself for too long, I hurried to do my morning routine before I went to work.

I used a facial cleanser and brushed my teeth before getting ready for my morning makeup routine.

As a woman working as a secretary, wearing makeup is a sign of professionalism at work. At least, I didn't want to get scolded by my boss because I was bare-faced.

It took me a while to apply everything, from cream, foundation, blush with a beauty blender, et cetera.

"Aish, why did I always smudged my lip tint," I complained after failing for the third time to apply a perfect lip tint. After I felt like I passed the bare minimum, I took a deep breath and picked the most dreaded thing on the planet.

"Okay, eyebrow pencil, please don't disappoint me today. We have been a frenemy for so long," I said while taking out the eyebrow pencil.

Drawing eyebrows had always been the hell of me. I took my small ruler from the drawer and placed it under my eyebrow to ensure that the result would be straight after.

"J-Just a bit moree ... " my hand trembled as I continued drawing my eyebrows. "And done!" I put down the pencil and the ruler. I checked my appearance and laughed at myself.

"My eyebrows are a bit crooked, but oh well, there is only my old boss in the office anyway. This is what I call ... contemporary art," I laughed while taking a selfie and then sent it to Rosie.

*Jendukie: Contemporary eyebrows, one of a kind art. *  I texted. And then got a reply soon after:

*Chipmunk: Hahahahahah! Unnnie, why is it so crooked!*

*Jendukie: Aish, I spent forty minutes on this! Appreciate the art!*

I laughed as I wore my blazer and skirt that fits my size and went to the bus stop. It only took me two bus stops to reach Manoban Group Office. I checked my watch, and it was still quite early, seven thirty in the morning.

But my boss was a workaholic who would often come earlier. Since his wife, Madam Manoban often left him alone in his huge mansion. He was a loyal husband to the core, so my boss, Mr. Marco, would often torture me instead by working late at night for whatever reason.

'I really should ask for more overtime pay, seriously,' I sighed as I exited the second bus stop and walked to the Manoban Group Office.

Manoban Group was a wealthy and leading company in many industries in korea, but mostly textile and raw material export. What made me wonder was the ability of Manoban Group to own the whole building for us. Since we moved from the old building about five years ago, when I was just twenty-two. My boss was known to be a cheapskate. How could he waste so much money where some of the floors were actually empty.

And when I asked about this problem, his answer was just, 'A certain lazy bum bought this building for me as my golden birthday gift, she said that since I've reached the age of 50, I should at least have my own building.'

"Tch, what's the use of this big building if there are some wasted spaces, right?'

'No, boss, I don't care about your complaint. I just want to ask who is this lazy bum you're talking about. I want to marry her.' I thought at that time.

I greeted the security guard who was familiar with me and strutted to the receptionist, "Esther, has Mr. Manoban come this morning?"

"Not yet, Jennie, but ... " Esther, the young receptionist, tilted her head and gazed at someone sitting on the lobby sofa. Esther couldn't help but blush when that woman spared her a glance. "T-That woman has been here since thirty minutes ago, saying that she arrives early because she wants to see her new office. She has a meeting with Mr. Manoban."

"A meeting?" I frowned. I didn't remember that Mr. Marco had a meeting this early.

"Well, she said that she set up this meeting with Mr. Marco last night. Why don't you talk to her about this?" Esther said. And she whispered, 'Jennie Unnie, ask for her number, okay? She is so damn Pretty, I'm about to faint here!'

"Ehh ... " Esther enthusiasm made me curious. I went straight to the receptionist counter, so I didn't notice other people. Since this lobby had always been packed with so many businessmen and office workers.

I followed Esther line of sight and was dumbstruck when I saw a woman sitting on the sofa. She leaned her body leisurely on the sofa. She wore a silver lady suit that made her stand out in the crowd.

Patinum blonde hair. She stared at me with her deep brown eyes and a grin on her lips.

'Wow ... what a total babe .... ' I commented as I was awed.

This woman ... had a face that was Hollywood worthy. In fact, if someone said that she was a blockbuster movie actress, I'd definitely believe it.

"Um .. Unnie, she told me that her name is Alexandria Priest."
