The CEO's Woman

Chapter 29 - Little Jennie

kai was sitting inside the VIP room with a dark face.

He wanted to impress Jennie with the elegant cuisine from this place. This is a very elegant restaurant with exquisite food. He initially thought that she will exercise some propriety.

Who would have thought that Jennie will choose the most expensive dish from the menu? He can't stop his nose from flaring in annoyance. How can this girl be so hateful?

ksi just sat there without saying anything as he continued listening to both girls's orders. To say that this is an extravagant feast in an understatement.. they ordered food as if their life depended on it.

"Jennie ah...do you even eat Caterpillar Fungus?" rose asked as she continues looking at the menu.

Both girls ignored him and didn't even act as if he is there.

"Of course not! But I haven't seen one yet. Although my mother loved eating different cuisines, she doesn't eat delicacies like that. Plus, it's so rare, so I haven't really seen one. Aiya...I hope Mr. Jongin won't mind. After all, this is for an apology." she said. She is still in a good mood. She can't wait to let him pay for everything.

kai wanted to cough up blood after hearing Jennie's statement. He didn't realize she can be so shameless. Even daring to order food that she will not eat. Is this girl planning to kill him with too much anger?

"I...I don't mind Sister kim." he said while giving them a fake smile. He decided to change the way he addressed Jennie to show a little affection towards her.

Jennie just nodded and continued to look at the menu. "Here, include this braised pork with truffles and the abalone as well as the sea cucumber. Hmmm...what else.. rose what else do you want?"

The attendant took almost 20 minutes to write down all the orders. While waiting for the food, Jennie was talking to rose enthusiastically.

kai, on the other hand, can't feel any joy at the moment. The veins in his forehead are already visible from swallowing down all of his anger. Jennie is clearly ignoring him on purpose!

"Ehem... so, Sister kim, I notice that you like sweets. I hope that you will enjoy the confections in this place. The pastry chef here is famous all over the world. I wonder what sister kim's favorite confection is? Maybe we could ask the chef to specifically make it for you. Even though I heard that this chef is really hard to talk to, we can still give it a try." he said. He is clearly trying to initiate a conversation with the cat eyed girl.

he knows that the chef won't talk to them, but it won't hurt to give it a try. He is trying to impress her. Maybe he could even bribe someone else to make the dessert for her. Then pretend that it came from the world-renowned chef in this restaurant.

"Mr. Jongin is very considerate. My favorite is..." Jennie halted her speech when they notice the door opened. She turned to look at the door as she was expecting to see some of their orders. She was excited to eat, alright?

However, her smile falters when she saw a very unexpected guest.

« little jennie... I didn't expect to see you here." The person who walks into the VIP room is obviously lisa. He plastered a gentle smile onto his face while walking towards Jennie.

Upon seeing the man, Jennie's lips couldn't help but twitch. How is this man be here? He even called her such an intimate nickname. Now people would think that they are familiar with each other.

« little jennie ah...stop looking at me like that. I called Grandpa Wang to ask about your location, and he said you are here, so I immediately hurried over so I can see you." Lisa gushed while taking a seat beside the dumbfounded girl.

Jennie faked a smile then give him a glare. Grandpa Wang? Why is he acting so familiar with her grandfather? What is this man even doing? Is he planning to join them? she decided that she needs to talk to her grandfather about giving her location to strangers later.

"Who are you?" kai suddenly blurted with his brows furrowed. A stranger just came inside their room acting friendly to Jennie. Of course, he will not like this situation.

Especially since the stranger is better looking than him. Lisa didn't even start talking to him yet, but kai already considered him as a rival.

"Phew. Where are my manners? Call me Lisa. I am a friend of little jennie's grandfather and uncle." lisa said without tearing his intense gaze from the girl beside him.

"Ah...we didn't order something for you so I don't think you can stay with us while we eat. » kai said. He really hated the presence of this guy.

"No worries. I already ordered something for myself. I even included little jennie's favorite dessert." He answered. Of course, it was Bei Ye who ordered for him. Bei Ye also talked to the chef to make the dessert for their future mistress. The chef is acquainted with the Manoban family, so he immediately agreed and even made some other food that Jennie loves.

"Do you even know the chef here? He is very famous. He doesn't like talking to people. Especially people of unknown origin." kai sneered as he looked at lisafrom head to toe. Although this man is very good looking, he doesn't seem to come from money. lisa is obviously under-dressed. kai even wondered why this guy was able to enter the restaurant when it's obvious that he can't afford a VIP membership.

What he didn't know was that lisa forgot to change his clothes because he hurried to join them. Not that it mattered to lisa. For him, physical appearance is just superficial.

lisa didn't answer kai's inquiry. He just continued to stare at jennie. This made the environment more awkward.

"Oh... good thing the order is here. I am so hungry." rose exulted. This is the best that she could do to ease this situation.

The waiter arrived with some of the orders and they started eating silently. Of course, this includes lisa occasionally putting some dishes on Jennie's bowl. "Hmmm... I know you like this. Here have some." he dotingly said as he put another abalone on her bowl. Jennie accepted the abalone without saying anything. She honestly doesn't know what to say. she found this situation a little unexplainable and weird. Definitely weird! But the thought of kai paying for all this food is making her happy. Even if lisa's presence was a little unexpected, the thought of making kai pay more is making her satisfied.

She will definitely settle their score after this meal. But for now, she will heartily enjoy this food.

kai, on the other hand, was feeling uncomfortable. He swallowed his food in anger while staring daggers at the other man. Clearly, he didn't recognize lisa's real identity. After all, he is not from one of the prestigious family. And lisa grew up abroad. Not many people recognized him.

When the desserts were served, lisa still acted like a doting husband. He shamelessly fed Jennie some of the strawberries that were dusted in edible gold.

Jennie really wanted to cry from too much awkwardness. What is this situation? Why is this guy so shameless? He called her intimate nicknames, dared to act so closely with her grandfather, now he even started feeding her. And this is just the third time they saw each other. she can't help but shiver as she imagined what this guy might do if they see each other again after this.

Still, she accepted the food without saying anything. She likes strawberries dipped in gold. It was one of her favorites. For her, eating her favorite is one happy occasion. That- and she seems to like the feeling of being fed by a handsome man?

Jennie couldn't help but giggle inwardly. She decided to deal with this awkward situation later.

When kai saw lisa feed Jennie, he felt insulted and furious. He is clearly the one who invited her, but both lisa and jennie were obviously treating him as a bystander.
