After drying his hair for him, Jennie fought her sleepiness. Seeing her repeatedly shook her head to stay awake, he chuckled slightly making sure he doesn't wake her up. He corrected her position so that she wouldn't wake up with pain from sleeping in a bad posture. Then he gently brushed her hair with one hand as he held onto her hands with the other hand.

My heart never felt this type of fulfillment. The joy of being able to spend every moment with you hearing you laugh, seeing you smile, and teasing you until you blush. You alone is enough.. more than enough. Perhaps even I don't know how much I love you, it is immeasurable. As a CEO and the ruthless demon in others eyes, I handle more than I can and need to reach more than others expect. Only when I am in front of you can I smile so freely and speak casually. Only in front of you can I feel peace and stress free. When I watched you go after you recovered from the gunshot last time, my heart had an unspeakable pain. But now, it hurt me more to see you cry and wounded. So forgive me.. everyone is selfish so let me be selfish for this time.. let me keep you by my side even after you recover. I won't let go of this happiness for the second time...I will protect you from now on. No matter what...I'll be here.

He gave her a small peck on her forehead before heading out of her room.

...If I stay any longer I would end up being there the whole morning again...

*Phone rings*

Lisa: Any updates?

Jennie: Boss! We found out that the Kim Kyung won (Uncle of Jennie) is trying to win the contract for a new machine that is newly released from the Yoo Corps overseas for the company he opened outside of Kim Corps. They seemed to have bribed through connections to lay their hands on this contract. They also invested in many resources from manufacturers preparing for the upcoming contract.

Lisa smirked: Good. Give a Call to President Yoo and let him we are also interested in this project. The conditions will be 2 times better than the ones offered by Kim Corps.

Jisoo: Alright. I'll contact them and see what they say.

-Call ends-

Lisa grinned. "About time.. I let you taste a bit of bitter.. but a more entertaining show is coming for all of you..."

In the middle of the night, Jennie was twisting and turning in her sleep. It was the same dream, all dark and no lights. This time, a man's shadow could be seen and the voice became clearer. "jennie, be careful... be careful of stairs.." As the voice began to fade, Jennie slowly became conscious. It was still dark so when she woke up her room appeared all dark. She tried to turn on the lgiths, but instead knocked over the lamp. Her anxiety increased and breathing became unsteady. The more nervous she became, the less energy she had in her body to move. She trembled and started breaking down by her bed.

"Li.. Lisa...cellphone... right he gave me one to call him ...."

-dials call-

Lisa: "Jenjen?"

Jennie: *cries* "Li.. Lisa.. I'm s..scared..." *hiccups*

Lisa: "What's Wrong??"

He quickly got off bed and rushed to her room keeping the call on.

When he ran into her room and turned on the lights, he saw her trembling and shaking while crying. He also saw the shattered lamp not too far from her bedside. He quickly examined her to ensure she didn't suffer from any pain or wounds from the broken lamp then hugged her asking her what's wrong.

"There was a man..."

"A man? where??"

"In my dreams.. it was so dark and I was alone.. I couldn't see who he was.. but I woke up and it was also dark. I accidentally pushed over the lamp"
