Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter 77

JENNIE POV:

"Though, if this place becomes a crime scene for Lisa, I think you should follow me. We can open a business together in another city or country as a business partner and a lover. How about it?"

I sighed after hearing her offer. Really, Alex hadn't given up on her own promise that she wanted to date me. In fact, I still remember what she said last night during our date.

"I want to know you better, Jennie ," Alex said to me.

"I... I don't have any interest in you. At least not romantically," I replied. I got the signal that Alex had that kind of romantic interest in me, which was quite abrupt for my taste.

'Wait, Lisa also has a sudden love interest in me. She was also abrupt as heck. But why did I find it adorable?' I pondered.

"It's okay. I know it's not easy. But I'm serious here, let me try it, and I will make sure that you will also consider me as a potential girlfriend for you. Even better, as a potential wife."

In the end, I had to yield and allowed Alex to court me romantically after that official date set up by the Rent A Girlfriend app.

I tried to stop her because I had no romantic interest in her, but oh well. All I could do right now was to slowly deny Alex until she got bored and gave up.

'And also, I should protect her, in case Lisa saw us together one day, and Alex might've lost her head because of this.'

"Are you serious about opening up a new business?" I asked.

"Uh-huh, do you know that I come here to work as a manager because I want to learn from Uncle Marco? Then I will open my own business later," Alex replied. "I want to be independent. You see, whenever I met with Lisa, I do feel a bit envious of her. Because she earns a lot of money by Herself."

"She told me that her motivation is her childhood sweetheart. That's what makes her working so hard to be rich. Because she wants to make sure that her future wife will live a comfortable life with her."

"She might be a bit crazy, but she does have a good working ethic and a hard worker," Alex genuinely praised Lisa, which made me feel even luckier to have someone like Lisa to love me.

'Honestly, I still can't believe that she actually loves me. Especially when there is this talk of the 'childhood sweetheart' of hers. I don't know if she will leave me after she met with her childhood sweetheart. That's why I don't want to hope for too much.'

'There is no point of hoping with someone who hasn't forgotten about her love in the past.'

I smiled bitterly, half-dazed, thinking about Lisa.

"So, Jennie, you will work with me once I build my own company?" Alex asked.

"Uh-huh... okay," I replied subconsciously. I kept thinking about Lisa and what the future would hold for us, I mean, for me, as an average woman in my late twenties.

"Really?! Ah, Jennie, I will not waste you!" Alex suddenly hugged and squeezed me tight.

"Ack!" I was choking when Alex hugged my waist lovingly... and tightly. I thought my waist would break.
