Lisa fastened the buttons of his jacket with his long fingers as he walked.

"I apologize, but the interview will have to end now." Jennie said nonchalantly as she walked down the stairs.

The six bodyguards bulldozed their way through the gaggle of reporters with Jennie in the middle.

The reporters were not yet satisfied and someone shouted, "You promised us one question each, but you've only answered three!"

Jennie did not stop walking. She knew her current condition, so she subtly yet carefully shielded her tummy. "Sorry, but I've dallied for too long. My husband's here to fetch me."

The crowd hurriedly turned their heads when they heard her say this. True enough, Lisa was here.

Lisa raised his brow at the crowd surrounding Jennie and quickly pulled her to his side. "Did they touch you?"

Jennie shook her head and smiled to quell his worries. "I saw many reporters outside the door when I was getting ready to go out, so I decided to answer whatever questions they had in one go so that they wouldn't bother me in the future. Sorry for making you wait so long."

"I'm just worried that you were hungry." Lisa said whilst completely ignoring the clicks and flashes of cameras around them. "The old lady sent Aunt Chen to the office with your lunch with a soup that she had made just for you. She was worried about all the oil restaurants use in their dishes and said that homemade meals are healthier because they're not as oily and salty. The soup was still hot when it arrived, so I brought it here so that you can eat it while it's still warm."

His expression instantly became icy when he turned to look at the reporters. "If you have any more questions in the future, please look for me in front of the Manoban Group building instead of disturbing my wife."

Then, he escorted Jennie to the car.

As they waited for the elevator in Manoban Group, the doors of the staff elevator opened and a pregnant lady walked out. She looked to be about six to seven months pregnant, with her tummy looking as if she had stuffed a balloon under her clothes. This caused her to lean backward, which in turn made her tummy protrude even more.

She looked toward them after sensing Lisa's gaze on her, then greeted them nervously, "Good day, Mr. and Mrs. President."

She was one of Manoban Group's employees.

Lisa nodded, his intense gaze landing on the woman's protruded tummy before turning gentle.

The woman was terrified of his gaze. She shielded her tummy and said with quivering lips, "Mr. President?"

"Is it easy to work in the office while pregnant?" Lisa asked with a warm voice. His distant demeanor was not intentional, it just came naturally to him. He did not show his gentle side except for when he was with Jennie or his grandparents.

His mild expression looked stern to the female employee, scaring her to the point where she thought to herself, 'Does the President think my pregnancy is hindering my work performance?'

She knew that a lot of companies preferred not to employ single female employees who were at a marriageable age, because they would apply for marriage leave when they inevitably got married. This was the same for female employees who were married but childless because they would have children soon after joining the company and thus needed to apply for maternity leave.

It was not written in black and white, but it was an implicit preference that everyone was aware of.

She knew that Manoban Group did not enforce this rule, but she was so unnerved by Lisa's question that she began to overthink.
