The Badass Assistant

Chapter 36

Lisa

On the second day that Jennie and I were apart, I was surprised when Minho's girlfriend Nancy came to see me at the office.

Because it's lunch time, I just invited her to join me for lunch. We just walked. I offered to drive but Nancy refused. We ordered before sitting down at an empty table. She was sitting in front of me.

"So," I started

"What do you want to talk about?"

She carefully sipped at her drink. She spoke quietly.

"How are you and Jennie?" She asked, I blinked my eyes. It wasn't a question I was expecting but I should have expected it. After all, Jennie was the only thing the two of us had in common.

"We're, okay." I told her.

"Are you guys... Happy?" She asked. I'm not open when it comes to my relationship with Jennie but even so, I don't have to think about what I will say to her.

"Yes," I told her right away. She lifted her head at me and nodded.

"Good. That's good." She said.

"What is this about, Nancy?" I asked. She averted her gaze at me.

"You know that Jennie has always been in love with Minho, right?" She said.

Maybe she saw the sudden change in my expression because she laughed softly and shook her head quickly. She reached for my hands.

"I'm sorry. That didn't come out right. I didn't mean it that way." She said.

"Then what did you mean?" I said and pulled away my hand. Our ordered came and we silently arranged it in our table. Even though I'm very starving, I can't eat the dumpling on my plate. I just keep looking at Nancy.

"The first time I saw Jennie and Minho, I think it's my first week on my work last year. I thought of them as perfect couple because they're fit for each other, not just on the face but in all aspect." She explained.

It's like I want to put a dumpling in her mouth so that she will choke to death.

"I thought they were then. But even Jennie, I crush on Minho, he's handsome, he's good at talking, he's charming___"

Are we referring the same Minho?

"I am executive assistant of Mr. Ray, Minho's boss, and well, Minho and I often meet and work together at work. We became close and Jennie became my friends. Eventually, I learned that they have no relationship. So I grabbed the chance. I courted Minho."

Since I didn't know what to answer, I ate some food while listening to her.

"We became officially and I thought that was it, I have my happily ever after, my prince charming." She continued.

You have the lowest standards if Minho is your idea of prince charming. Oppah Kai! That's prince charming!

"And then you came." She said and that's when I looked at her.

"I guess Minho saw how you and Jennie got along because the first time he mentioned you to me, he was very angry. I won't say what he said, okay. You don't need to know that. He was very angry and you don't have a right to flirt with Jennie."

I don't know if I'll get angry or smile because the insecurity of that asshole is really intense for me.

"After that, I realized that he's jealous at you. At first, I told to myself that he's just like that because he is her bestfriend. It's natural that he will get mad because you got Jennie's attention. But not." Nancy said and we look at each other.
