"Miss Kim I don't have any intentions aside from asking for forgiveness. Here, I even brought some home-cooked dishes that I personally cooked to show my sincerity," Fan Linwen answered with a straight face.
Jennie looked at Fan Linwen before laughing and shaking her head. "You are making me laugh Miss Fan, but since you really did make an effort to make this, leave it here and I will make sure to let my man know of your apology."
Fan Linwen was about to retort when she saw Lisa coming towards their direction. She immediately bit her lower lip, her expression pitiful. "Miss Kim, I am just here to apologize, why are you trying to stop me from expressing my utmost apology to Mr. Manoban? I just don't want him to misunderstand me."
"Aiyah... Lis, why don't you take care of these foxes for me?" Jennie said without even turning head at Lisa. She could already feel his presence behind her.
"Mr. Manoban I am glad that you are already here. I came here to personally apologize about what happened last night," Ma Xuehui interjected. "I had originally brought some food for you, but it is already cold now, so please allow me to invite you for lunch. We can have Miss Kim come too."
"How embarrassing!" Fan Linwen sneered. This Ma Xuehui just shamelessly asked to have lunch with Lisa. If that was not shameless, then what is?
However, Lisa did not even look at them. He signaled for the security personnel, and the two women were immediately dragged outside of the building. Afterwards, he instructed everyone not to let these two girls inside again.
He also asked Chu Yang to spread this news to the public using the photos and videos from his employees. This happened so quick that both Ma Xuehui and Fan Linwen were not able to react in time. When they woke up from their daze, they were already outside of the building in the middle of another crowd.
"Hey, stop taking photos! Stop!' Fan Linwen said as she covered her head and ran towards her car. She immediately went inside her car and locked it before fetching her phone from her pouch.
« Nancy , I'm coming to see you. That Ma Xuehui was too much this time..."
"Got it. Bye." Then she started her car and drove to see her best friend.
...
« Lis, it seems that you will attract many foxes in the next few days," Jennie said, her eyes full of laughter. "Maybe I should just keep you at home, not letting anyone see you."
"Or you can be my secretary and be my lookout. How about a bodyguard? Eh? That would suit you better," he replied.
"You want a beauty like me to be your bodyguard?" she giggled.
"Why not?"
"Can you even afford it?" She raised an eyebrow at him. However, her gaze caught sight of a small envelope. "Eh? What's this?"
"Young Miss, that's an invitation for the yearly jewelry gala in this country," Chu Yang respectfully answered her. "This year Mr. Manoban is supposed to be the special guest for the auction that they are having. However, he has already declined this invite."
« Lis, why did you decline? This is a great opportunity for you to associate yourself with the elite people in this country," she asked.
"The invite is only for one," Lisa answered. "I don't want to go without you by my side."
His short answer instantly made Jennie smile. Her man was so sweet. "When you say only one, you mean you are not allowed to bring a companion?"
"Hmmm..." he nodded.
"Why do you think that is? Isn't it weird?"
"That's why I chose not to attend."
Jennie fell into silence as she started to analyze everything. "You can still bring me without an invitation," she declared, attracting Lisa's gaze.
"Let me be your bodyguard," Jennie stated, her eyes sparkling as she raised an eyebrow at him. "I mean... the mighty Heir of the Manoban Conglomerate should never go anywhere without one. Right?"
"How smart!" he said before pulling her onto his lap. "My wife seems to be smarter than me."
"Of course!" she purred as she snuggled closer to Lisa. Her eyes were full of gentleness. Jennie was almost a hundred percent certain that someone had wanted Lisa to attend this gala alone.
She was not yet aware of the goal, but if she was right, then this gala would introduce her to some of her old enemies.
Speaking of enemies, her eyes seemed to turn a little shade darker than usual. Xiaolan was still on the run. Now nancy was in the same city as her. She wondered if Li Qiang was also somewhere within this city.
Lisa's parents's accident had caught them off guard, not allowing them to execute some of their plans. However, since Jennie had already decided to establish the Wang Empire, she would need to concentrate on her enemies soon.
After the merging, she would surely focus on those people again. Of course, that included the secret that Lisa was keeping from her.
