At the same time, outside the private room...
Rowoon was surprised as he listened. "What... You want to meet her now? But... it's not very convenient... It's fine... Let me think of something! I will arrange it for you!"
After he hung up, he called his assistant right away.
"Brother Rowoon, you called me?"
"Help me check something..." He deliberated in silence as he wondered how he should phrase his question.
"What do you need, Brother Rowoon?" His assistant looked puzzled.
He coughed gently. "Check if there is a suitable... place in the hotel... A quiet, secluded place... Make sure the reporters can't get in!"
His assistant was still confused. "A suitable place? A place for a discussion?"
Rowoon had no choice but to word this explicitly. "A place suitable for a rendezvous."
His assistant was shocked. "Rendezvous? Brother Rowoon, why are you asking for this?"
Was he thinking of meeting a girl in private?
His assistant spluttered, "In... this hotel?"
Rowoon nodded firmly. "Yes."
His assistant was close to crying. "Brother Rowoon, please don't act recklessly. Do you really want to have a rendezvous right now? Even if you want to, you don't have to rush!"
Rowoon said, "Go and arrange a place. Don't ask anything else."
His assistant's words were stuck in his mouth, so he didn't dare to protest any longer. He could only accede to Rowoon's request.
Minutes later, his assistant came running back, looking out of breath. "If you want a hotel room, it's likely that you will be caught by the reporters. If they really catch you entering or exiting the room, there is no way you could clear your name, so that's definitely out.
I went to search for other places. There is a fire escape route on the thirteenth floor which is quite secluded. There is an abandoned storeroom beside it that people will never chance upon..."
Rowoon nodded and replied, "Got it."
He swiftly dialed a number.After making the call, he sent a text too. He heaved a sigh of relief before he traipsed back to the private room.
Meanwhile, Jennie was still racking her brains about how to reply to Lisa's text. While she was thinking, she received a text.
Rowoon had sent her a rather weird text.
He had typed, 'Big Sister-In-Law, go to the storeroom beside the fire escape route on the thirteenth floor.'
She blinked in confusion at the text.
Why was he asking her to go there?
By then, Rowoon had returned to his seat. Jennie unconsciously raised her head and cast him a puzzled look.
Rowoon nodded and pointed to his phone to urge her to hurry.
Although his request was really weird, Jennie didn't question him at all.
If he had asked her to go there, it had to be about something important.
Jennie stood up, ready to walk away.
"Jennie, where are you going?" Ha Jungwoo asked casually."I... I am going to the ladies' room!" She replied hastily before she strode away.
She was worried that she might delay Rowoon, so she made her way swiftly to the meeting point.
