Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter: 117

JENNIE POV:

"Secretary Kim, how's your trip to your hometown? Is it good? Have you talked about us to your parents? I wonder if I should come and introduce myself first, haha~."

I paused after listening to Alex Priest, who started rambling with her usual Casanova attitude. Honestly, Alex was a Casanova, but she wasn't a jerk, at least not the worst jerk out there.

Except for that time when she kissed me and fooled me by saying that it was a custom in her country to kiss the cheek of someone they just know.

Yeah, that part ... She was a total lying jerk.

But after we knew each other better, I had to admit that Alex Priest was actually a good person, albeit a bit unrestrained. I think of her as my good friend rather than a potential romantic interest, though.

It was just me, but it seemed that I couldn't fall in love with anyone but Lisa.

Which was unfortunate ... imagine if I didn't meet Lisa in this world? Would I be a single old, loveless lady in my whole life?

Hmph, Lili got to treat me well as her wife in the future. I've sacrificed my love life just for her. She got to compensate!

"Hey, Jen, you there?" Alex tilted her head to snap me out of my daze.

I chuckled and then waved my hand. I continued putting my stuff inside the box again.

"Eh? What is this? Did you get promoted or moving to a branch company? Whoa, you're amazing, Jennie. I know that you'll make it big someday!" Alex said.

"Although, you can always ask me for promotion. You can always be my personal assistant, you know~" Alex winked at me with her grin. I just rolled my eyes and ignored her regular advance.

"Jen? Is everything alright? You would usually ridicule me when you're in a good mood," Alex confronted. "Just tell me if you need something, okay?"

"I'm not okay," I said. I sighed and continued packing. After I'm done with everything, I took a scotch tape and wrapped the box. I stared at the empty desk. Now I didn't have anything except my memory in here.

There was some grievance in my heart, but at the same time, I didn't have anything to regret.

Because I am the one who decided to admit my relationship with Lisa. I didn't think it's fair for Lisa to fight for our love, while I became a passive girl who did nothing.

I am Jennie Ruby Jane Kim. I was born as a warrior lady. Even though there was no war, I will fight my own war, including in love.

I wanted to fight for my love as well. Because for me, love between two people had to be equal.

It was like walking in the same direction, side by side, helping each other. Because that was love for.

I didn't want to be that girl in a romance story that did nothing other than being saved by her partner.

I am also a strong woman! I could fight, even I had to sacrifice something that I treasured deeply!

"W-What do you mean you're not okay? Did you get hurt somehow? Are you in pain or something?" Alex asked worriedly.

"Uh, not really, I just got fired," I replied.
