Kai drove himself to the office. He met Lisa in the company's underground carpark. "Good Morning Mr. Manoban."

"Good morning."

Lisa was carrying a briefcase and entered the lift first.

Kai was carrying breakfast in his left hand and a briefcase in his right. He hurried into the lift. When the door closed, Kai handed the breakfast to Lisa. "We are having soup dumplings this morning. My mother made them herself."

Kai was living with his 60-year-old mother, and he was responsible for Lisa's breakfast every morning.

But today, Lisa glanced at the soup dumplings and waved. "No need, I have already eaten."

Lisa never had breakfast outside. He would either cook himself or have Kai bring some for him. Hence, Kai didn't think too much of it and just commented, "You made breakfast for yourself today?"

It was not a special occasion today. Why did Mr. Manoban make breakfast for himself?

Lisa shook his head. "I didn't make it myself."

He didn't make it?

Kai stared at him curiously. "Who made it then?"

Lisa replied, "Jennie."

Kai was left stunned. "Ms. Jennie made breakfast for you so early in the morning..." Kai's eyes widened. He pointed at Lisa and exclaimed in disbelief, "Did Ms. Jennie stay over at your house last night?"

Not only did she stay over, they even slept in the same bed.

"We are cohabitating," Lisa admitted. There was no point in trying to hide the fact. Someone would find out eventually that they were staying together. Might as well just admit it now.

Kai was totally dumbstruck by this news.

Lisa glanced at Kai. "From now on, you need not prepare my breakfast." After a pause, Lisa twisted the knife deeper into Kai's poor, single heart by saying, "My girlfriend will make it for me."

"Ah... alright." Kai was still in shock and somewhat dazed.

Arriving at the office, Lisa messaged Jennie. When she didn't reply after some time, he put down his cell phone and opened his laptop to carry on his work.

At home, Jennie changed clothes and put on makeup. She chose a purse and stuffed all sorts of things into it. Sunscreen, umbrella, lipstick, compact powder...

After arranging everything properly, Jennie found her cell phone on the sofa. She unlocked the screen as she walked toward the main door.

Jennie opened Lisa's message. [ I want to eat hot and sour rice noodles tomorrow morning. ]

What could Jennie say? Of course, she had to say okay.

His cell phone vibrated. Lisa finished typing his sentence before glancing at his phone. Jennie had replied with a one-word, 'Okay.' Lisa shut his cell phone after reading the message and continued to immerse himself in his work.

Jennie received Brother Long's phone number from Lisa that morning. Before changing clothes, she called Brother Long to inform him she would head out.

Jennie went down to the underground car park and saw a man standing in front of Lisa's car.

Jennie sized up the man. He was extremely skinny and only about 1.7m tall. He was dressed in green sportswear and holding the car keys in one hand. He looked like he had been waiting for some time.

He looked more like a skinny monkey than a bodyguard who was an ex-soldier.

Brother Long was an extremely cautious man. He immediately detected Jennie's gaze and turned to fix his eyes on her.

Seeing Jennie, a respectful smile appeared on the man's cold face. "Ms. Jennie?"

Jennie walked toward him and smiled. "Brother Long?"

Jennie was wearing high heels and found herself slightly taller than him. Jennie couldn't help feeling doubtful. Could this skinny, weak Brother Long really protect her?

"Hello, Ms. Jennie, I am Long Yu."

"Sorry to trouble you today. I am going to the Red Cross Society."

"No trouble at all. Let's get in the car."

Jennie sat in the backseat as Brother Long drove.

Long Yu's driving skills were smooth and steady, and that left Jennie reassured. She leaned back in the car seat and played with her cell phone. She downloaded a recipe file and learned how to make hot and sour rice noodles.

Since there was no music playing in the car, Long Yu overheard murmurs of 'slice up the ginger,"cut up the pickled vegetables,"put both the pepper and the dried red chilies in...'

The car came to a stop in front of the Red Cross Society. Long Yu turned and said, "Ms. Jennie, we have arrived."

Jennie had already memorized how to make hot and sour rice noodles by the time they arrived. She shut her cell phone and thanked Long Yu. She then put on her black hat, which shielded half her face, and walked toward the office building of the Red Cross Society.

After locating the person-in-charge, Jennie said, "My name is Jennie Ruby Jane Kim. I previously filled out an application to be an organ donor. I want to enquire about something."

"Hello, Ms. Jennie."

The staff didn't recognize Jennie and did not know that she was the top debutante in Wangdong City. Smiling kindly, he asked her, "What does Ms. Jennie wish to enquire about?"

Jennie said, "The executor listed on my application is my adoptive father. But I am getting married soon and out of respect and love for my husband-to-be, I want to make my husband the executor of my organ donation in my death. Can I make the change?"

The staff smiled and nodded. "Of course, you can. The executor need not be your father or your husband. It can be anyone you trust."

"So can I make the change now?"

"Yes, you can. You need to fill in a few forms."

Jennie filled in several forms and successfully changed her executor to Lisa.

After leaving the Red Cross Society, Jennie went back to the Lee Family residence. Since Ha Ji-won did not feel well these few days, she felt tired all the time and didn't go to work. She was resting at home alone when she heard a car parking outside.

Ha Ji-won climbed out of bed and gazed down from her bedroom window. She saw Jennie alighting from a black car, and it somewhat surprised Ha Ji-won. She called out to Jennie, "Jenjen, why have you come back?"

Jennie gazed up at Ha Ji-won and smiled. "Hello mother, I have come back to settle something."

"I will come down now."

Jennie frowned when she saw Ha Ji-won. "Mother, have you been unwell?"

Ha Ji-won's face was pallid, and she appeared very listless and fatigued. It looked like she had caught the flu.

"Perhaps I have overexerted myself. I have not been sleeping well, but I feel drowsy all the time." Ha Ji-won dismissed her health issues. She pulled Jennie down onto the sofa with her. "Did you forget to take anything?"

Jennie shook her head. She took out a housing catalog and pointed at one house. "Mother, I want to buy a house. This one. Three bedrooms, one living room, and one dining hall. A total of 160sqm."

"Why are you suddenly thinking of buying a house?" Ha Ji-won thought of Lisa, and her face darkened. "Did Mr. Manoban say something to you? Is he worried about his assets after you get married?"

Ha Ji-won sounded angrier and angrier as she spoke.

Jennie must not marry Lisa if he was truly such a mean and penny-pinching person!
