Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter: 116

JENNIE POV:

"Secretary Kim, come with me to the office. I have something to talk about with you."

Mr. Marco entered the office first, he closed the door, but it seemed that he really waited for me. Because usually, he would start the day by asking about his schedule.

I paused for a while. I wasn't optimistic enough to think that Mr. Marco wanted to give me a raise or whatever. I knew from his tone that it was about my employment in this office.

Madam Manobam must've talked with Mr. Marco about what happened in the village, about Lisa and Me.

I took a deep breath and put down the documents I've prepared today because I wasn't sure if I'd need them after leaving this office anyway.

I opened the office door and bowed my head respectfully when I saw him sitting on his chair, reading today's newspaper. "Do you need me for anything, Sir?"

"Sit down," Mr. Marco ordered.

I obediently sat at the seat facing him. For some reason, the seat became hot as my nervousness and expectation rising. Since I woke up in the morning, I've prepared myself for the worst.

Mr. Marco put down the newspaper and then checked his phone. It seemed that he was reading some text, probably from his wife, Madam Manoban.

He sighed and finally opened his mouth, "So, you're that woman my daughter was talking about."

"Yes, Sir," I replied. I had nothing to hide anymore since it was all already crystal clear.

"When you entered my office for the first time, did you already know about my daughter's identity?"

"No, Sir. Lisa and I haven't been in contact for fifteen years. We've just found out about our past few days ago," I replied.

"So you're saying that all that happened are coincidence's?"

"... rather than coincidence, I'd rather call it a fate, Sir .... " I said with certainty. "Lisa had promised me in the past that she will find me and marry me, no matter how. And I've kept that promise deep in my heart for fifteen years as well."

"I thought I'd never find her again, and I start giving up. That's why I joined an app, the Rent A Girlfriend app. So I can find a good woman to show to my parents."

"At least with that, I can bring her as a fake girlfriend, and they will stop questioning when will I get married because there is no way I will get married other than with my childhood sweetheart, Lili."

"But fate intertwined us together once more, and you can see it with this, Sir," I showed the ring that Lisa gave as the 'engagement ring.

Mr. Marco seemed to have noticed the ring, and he nodded. After he acknowledged the ring, I took it off and then showed the red circle on my ring finger. The sign that I've met my fated lover, my other side of the red string.

Mr. Marco's calm demeanor finally showed some change after he saw the red mark circled around my ring finger, "Don't tell me that your red string of fate is .... "

"Yes, Sir, it is Lisa, your daughter ...

Mr. Marco sighed. He massaged his neck. Maybe he was thinking about how to tackle this problem. Even though the solution was really simple. All he needed to do was to kick me out of the picture from Lisa or threaten to fire me.
