The Devil's Sweetheart

52

Any place is good for eavesdropping if you know how to eavesdrop. Both Rosé and Nayeon fall into the exact category. From the time, Jennie went into Lisa's room, both fixed their ears to the door. Despite Lisa's warning, which they least bothered, they blended themselves into that soundproofing door in hopes to catch a word of their conversation.

"I am scared that he would do something to my goddess." Nayeon almost cried. As far as she remembered, she doesn't have an idea when and how Lisa met Jennie but with the way, they were locking horns with each other over the phone, she understood that they are close.

"But why I am scared that Jennie would be the one to do something to my prince charming." Rosé cried with frustration. From the day, Jennie appeared right after the wedding, Rosé has removed the man-hater tag with the way Jennie was boasting about her so-called 'brand' and 'gentleman'. Is Lisa, the brand and gentleman she was talking about?

While they were arguing with each other, a pair of click-clack heels sound infiltrated into their ears and instantly they flipped back to see Regina standing behind them with a file in her hands.

"Why are you here?" Nayeon asked in irritation. From the day, Lisa resumed the work, Regina comes up with some kind of excuse to get into his office room. Twice, Nayeon endured but this bummer doesn't show a shame at all even if she has reprimanded twice. But Lisa would flare upon Nayeon if she brought her to his office room. She was already getting a hunch that she is after Lisa.

"I have finished the latest designs for the next season. I wanted to show it to sir before I proceed further." Regina replied politely. She did not plan to come here, not after she was chastised by the bitch standing in front of her but her blood was boiling when Lisa is alone with that shrewd woman in his office. She wanted to interrupt them by going into his office at least or listen to the conversation.

"Listen here, Regina. This is an office, not a fish market. You can't come and go to the CEO's room whenever you wish. I have already warned you twice and next time if I see you here, expect a warning letter from HR." Nayeon snapped with disgust which was all evident on her face. She began to criticize Lisa for selecting the application of this downer in the first place. Although Regina is very good at her work, morals and ethics are the first and foremost for an employee in LM which she lacks.

"I am sorry, Nayeon. I will keep that in mind." She turned to walk away with a smile but Nayeon and Rosé could see the woman shoveling her nails into the palm.

"She should have been in a mental asylum," Rosé added. "Jennie already gave her left and right yesterday."

"You guys have met her already?" Nayeon asked in surprise.

Rosé nodded her head and elucidated everything that ensued with Regina when they were in a hospital.

"She deserves it. Only Jennie can suppress that bitch." Nayeon seethed. She began to understand the reason Regina stopped by the hospital. While she knew her grandfather doesn't fall into that bitch traps, she was planning to confirm with him after she goes home.

Both were gossiping on Regina in all seriousness until the door was unfastened from the other end and Jennie arrived with a red face and flushed cheeks followed by Lisa with a mirth dancing on his lips.

The moment Jennie arrived, Nayeon smiled brightly gazing at her like a Korean fangirl while Rosé was eyeing Lisa with a shy demeanor and as usual, Lisa's eyes were only on his sweetheart.

Only Jennie was the bystander here observing the three pairs of eyes. She did not mind Nayeon and Lisa watching her but Rosé's eyeing on her property was a big no and she already made a note to warn the snoring tractor to keep her eyes in check especially away from Lisa.
