The CEO's Woman

Chapter 25 - How To Eat A Cake

After two days of staying home and gathering information for her company, Jennie finally decided to go to school. This time she wanted to recruit her friend rose as a graphics designer.

Jennie saw some of rose's sketches before and she is confident of her friend's skills. She also remembered rose from her past life. After graduating high school, rose will pursue arts and will excel in design.

After she arrived at school, she immediately went to her classroom to see her friend.

"Hey... Jennie are you alright? I didn't see you for four days.. I tried to call you, but it wouldn't go through. Did something happen?" She heard rose's voice before she entered the classroom. She looked at the delicate beauty standing next to her.

Roseanne might look delicate and pretty on the outside, but she is very outspoken and confident. A trait that Jennie admired from her friend.

"Oh...my phone broke. Accompany me later. I will buy a new one. I had an emergency last Monday, but it's already fixed." She assured rose.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! Also, I want to talk to you about something important. Do you want to go to the cafeteria? We can grab a bite while talking."

rose nodded and walked alongside Jennie as they talked about random things on their way to the cafeteria. The two girls bought some sweets before looking for a vacant table. Then they both choose a seat at the corner to avoid the crowd.

"So? What do you want to talk about?" rose inquired.

"Well, I want you to work for me. As a graphic designer."

"Graphic Design? What do you want me to design? You know that I haven't taken any design classes before, right?" rose wanted to make sure that jennie is aware of her inexperience. Sure, she is talented when it comes to art, but she didn't take any professional classes before.

Jennie fixed her eyes at rose. She knows that her has a good background. She also knows that the Park Family has a very complicated household. rose is so talented at sketching, so how come their family didn't let her take any art classes to enhance her skills? Nevertheless, her decision won't change. She will still ask her friend to work for her.

"That's not a problem. I saw your sketches before, and I was quite impressed. I want you to work for me. We will immediately start my project after the National exams." She mumbled, before chewing a piece of her cake elegantly.

"What project?"

"Oh... I haven't told you yet. I'm planning to start my own company. It's like a sister company of iComms tech, but it's totally different. I will explain the specifics after the exams." Jennie answered.

rose can't help but feel a little conflicted when she heard Jennie. Jennie is still seventeen, but she is already talking about starting her own company. While she herself is still in a limbo, floating and waiting for other people to decide for her. Isn't she a little too pitiful? But rose likes Jennie and will wholeheartedly support her.

"Okay, I'm in." She beamed . She would love to work for a smart girl like her.

"Great! So um... this cake is not that good. Do you know a place that sells great cakes and confectioners?" Jennie suddenly asked her. Even though she just met Jennie, rose already noticed that this girl loves her sweets.

"I don't know. I'm not really a fan of sweet things. I like spicy and bitter food." She answered as she started to gobble her own cake.

"Hey! You don't eat a cake like that! You can't just devour it." Jennie blurted, while looking at her.

"So how am I supposed to eat a cake?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. rose finds this new friend of hers funny and entertaining. She is also very smart and knowledgeable about different stuff. She always manages to talk about things that piqued her interest.

However, eating sweets is not one of her interest. She is not a big fan of cakes and candies. How would she know how to 'properly' eat a cake? Sweets are still food so she should just treat it like every other food, right? Put it inside her mouth, chew, then swallow. Right?

"Well, you have to take a look at it first. A cake is a piece of art. It's like a painting. You have to savor it using your eyes. Imagine how it tastes like. Then once you take a bite, you have to evaluate it. Examine its texture and taste. Let it melt into your mouth. If the cake is mediocre, then don't finish it. If it tastes spectacular, then enjoy it. Then finish it mindfully." Jennie said as her eyes sparkle.

rose was rendered speechless. Seriously. Who eats a cake like that? Did this girl come from a different planet? She was about to tease her friend when another voice interrupted her.

"I didn't know you are so knowledgeable with stuff like that, Miss Kim." Both girls turn their head to look at the person speaking.

jennie furrowed her brows when she saw it was kai.
