The CEO's Woman

Chapter 17 - Marriage Proposal

"Yeah. Nice try!" She turns her back and starts walking again. She sure has no time for fake people. The guy didn't say anything, but he also didn't stop following her.

"Don't! Don't follow me around." She said. She is starting to get irritated. Still, the guy didn't stop walking behind her.

"I said stop! Or..." She hissed as she looks at the guy. She is clearly annoyed by this guy's presence..

"Or what?" The guy name Lisa walks closer. Emphasizing their height difference.

"Or I will call someone from Manoban Conglomerate, and have you arrested for impersonating their young master." She said. She is sure that this is not lisa manoban . Although she hasn't seen the man in person, from her previous life, she knows that the heir to the Manoban Conglomerate is sickly. He didn't have the luxury to go outside. Much less roam into a museum and chase some girl he just met.

Yet, contrary to her expectations, the guy didn't show any panic or fear. He even giggled, irritating her even more.

"You think I'm an impostor?" He raised his eyebrow and walked closer, making her take a step back until she realizes that her back is already against the wall. She is trapped.

He inclines his face towards her as she lifted her eyes to meet his gaze. She could feel her heart beating wildly. For a brief second, they remained still.

"You know, I could always have you killed for sexually assaulting me." She broke the silence. Her eyes still fixed at him.

This time, the guy took a step back and laughed merrily. "I didn't sexually assault you. At least not yet." He shook his head and looked at her intensely before walking away while saying something that made her shiver.

"I'll forgive you for threatening to kill me, but I will have to ask your grandfather to compensate." Her eyes widened in shock when she heard his statement.

'What compensate? Is this guy serious? He is just an impostor. He must be threatening me.' She thought.

Then her eyes widened even more. She wondered how this guy knew about her grandfather. Does he know her? Did someone send him to harm her? She tried to look at the hallway where the guy disappeared into, but she couldn't see his shadow anymore.

« Jennie?" She suddenly heard rose's voice behind her.

"What are you doing standing here alone? » rose asked her.

"Nothing... Let's go" She answered as they started walking away from the hallway.

At the same time, in a dark corner of the art museum, Lisa was staring silently at Jennie's silhouette.

"Tell me, did I do something wrong?" He said, his voice almost croaky, low and rough, almost unrecognizable.

The guy in a suit was just silently watching him. Honestly, he didn't know what to say. Could he just tell him that he made the wrong approach? Now the Young Miss Kim will see him as someone creepy.

His young master has been acting weirdly ever since he knew that Young Miss kim had an encounter with Mr. Jong-in. He seemed to be agitated. Then excited. Then angry.

"Answer me, Bei Ye." Lisa demanded.

"I...I don't think so, Young Master." He said, his voice brittle in fear.

"But?" he asked.

"But I think you made the wrong approach. The young miss already thinks that you are impersonating yourself. And I think she also thinks that..." Bei Ye hesitated. He had been with the young master since they were young, but this is the first time that the young master's intelligence seems to be non-existent today. "...That you are a bit creepy." He continued as he lowered his head. He is afraid to face the anger of their young master. However he also knows that Young Master Lisa doesn't like people who lie.

"Hmmm... the wrong approach you say?" he said while still looking at the empty hallway, his eyes darkening. He is planning to woo Jennie kim , but it seems that he needs to change his plans. He started walking away from the hallway and made his way into a secret elevator that will bring them to his transportation.

"Did you hear something from the Kim's?" He asked Bei Ye as they boarded the elevator.

"Yes, Young master. The patriarch is planning to have Mr. kai and Miss jennie meet coincidentally. He wants Mr. kai to get close to the Young Miss and...and perhaps marry her in the future."

Lisa didn't say anything. He wondered why Jennie would hack kai's computer and send those images. Wasn't she supposed to start competing for kai's attention? The hacking also didn't happen in their previous life. What could have changed her?

He knit his eyebrows in annoyance. This is not the same as in their previous life. kai didn't pursue Jennie, it was the other way around. If kai starts to pursue Jennie in this time, then, will she fall in love with him?

He pursed his lips. 'No that cannot happen. I need to protect her.' He thought as he boarded his car absentmindedly.

"Where to young master?" He heard Bei Ye ask.

"Call father and ask him to prepare betrothal gifts. I am going to the Wang Estate to propose for marriage."

Bei Ye almost jump out of his seat when he heard Lisa's answer.

"Young...Master, isn't this a bit too fast? You just met the Young Miss. I...I don't think the patriarch will agree." He said.

"The young Miss kim just threatened to have me killed. I'm afraid she will do that, so I will ask for her grandfather to compensate me." Lisa said. "Never mind, don't tell father. I will tell him myself. Let's got to the Wang Estate. I will propose for a marriage."

Bei Ye cannot follow his Young Masters logic, but he didn't say anything as he started driving towards the Wang Mansion.
