The next day, in a private room in a cafe...
"Sister Jen, why did you ask me to meet you out today? Is Brother L alright?" asked Rosé.
Jennie propped her chin on her hand as she stirred her coffee with a spoon. "His fever has gone down, and he has stopped working temporarily."
Rosé smiled and blinked. "I heard from Moonbin that you are very strict. Even Seulgi wouldn't dare disturb Brother L without your permission."
Rosé sensed that Jennie was distracted. "Sister Jen, is something bothering you?"
Jennie snapped out of her daze. She didn't like feeling conflicted, so she replied, "Rosé, I have something to ask you."
"What is it? Sister Jen, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know." Rosie immediately promised her.
She chose her words carefully. "Rosie, let me ask you a question. Does Lisa have a close friend or confidant?"
Rosé was stunned when she heard this. She only reacted after a long time. "Close... friend? Confidant?"
Jennie nodded. "Is there such a person?"
Rosé didn't understand why Jennie had asked this question. What puzzled her even more was that the answer to this question didn't exist.
Rosé replied honestly, "Sister Jen, why did you suddenly ask this?"
Jennie asked casually, "What's wrong with this question?"
"Nothing. It's just impossible. Brother L stays away from women and never has any close relationships with them. How could he have such a close confidant?" Rosé replied confidently.
Jennie frowned. "Really? Think about it carefully. This woman must have a special relationship with Lisa. Not only must she be able to come freely to Cloud Manor, but she must also know the passcodes to Lisa's personal equipment. She must even know where the items in his study are. I can confirm that this woman is interested in him... Is there anyone around him who meets these criteria?"
Rosé noticed that Jennie didn't sound like she was asking casually, so she pondered it for a moment before she answered, "Sister Jen, according to what you said, only one person could do this."
"Really?" Jennie straightened her back.
Rosé nodded. "Yes, but it's not a woman... It's a man."
"Huh? A man?" She was startled. "Who... Who?"
She had assumed that Lisa had a crush on a woman. However, she hadn't expected that a man could be involved.
Rosé said, "Seulgi."
Rosé shrugged. "No matter how I think about it, only Brother L's top assistant would be able to do this. To be honest, even Seulgi wouldn't know the password to Brother L's personal equipment or the location of his items.
"Brother L doesn't even have a servant. The butler arranges for someone to clean and deliver daily necessities. Even Rowoon and Sungjae wouldn't dare disturb him.
"Sister Jen, you should be able to tell that Brother L is very guarded around people. He is also very territorial, even when it comes to his family."
Jennie blinked in confusion. "Huh? Really? I really didn't notice anything... I went in and out of his study as I pleased. I didn't even avoid the company's confidential documents..."
Rosé choked for a moment before she mumbled, "Sister Jen, don't display your affection so publicly."
Jennie was speechless... She wasn't! She was serious!
