The Devil's Sweetheart

He was completely flummoxed by the way Jennie was addressing him. Rusk? She is calling him a dry biscuit? He had confidence that his brother would have spoken highly of him and that's the reason, seconds back, he was gloating about himself but now his self-esteem has been crushed to the lowest honorable part when he heard her call him rusk or biscuit whatever.

Nayeon broke out into a giggle watching Adney's baffled expression on his face. Indeed it's his first time seeing Jennie, so he might not have known her properly. He will get used to it in the future. She shook her head and left the place to give a little space to these fellows since it's their first time meeting.

"You are calling me a twice-baked biscuit? I am not approving you as my sister-in-law." Adney held back the screams of frustration. No one has ridiculed him except his hacker friend Elysian and now this annoying to be sister-in-law is trying to berate him. Should I hack into her computer or mobile and play a prank on her? The thought itself cackled him up. Just wait for a while, I will send one illicit video from your mobile to all your friends.

"Sorry, brother-in-law, I can't do anything about being your sister-in-law. If you have a problem, you can reach out to your brother." Jennie was having fun teasing Adney, and to add fuel to the fire, she moved close towards him and whispered into his ears. "One more thing! I even heard you are a playboy. Nice to meet you. I am the coach for Playboys." Jennie cracked her knuckles as if she is ready to punch him.

Adney glanced up and rolled his eyes befuddled. Who informed me about my playboy nature? So, she knows fully about me but still called me a rusk?

"If you keep rolling your eyes, you will eventually find your brain one day." Jennie burst out into laughter watching his benumbed face.

Adney: " "

Adney didn't want to lose this time in front of her. After all, It's a matter of his pride. He has googled up her profile and got to know that she is named as a narcissist and her craziness is the talk of the city. Tit for tat. "Even I heard a thing about you. I learned that you are a narcissist and for your narcissists, I am a psychiatrist."

Jennie: " "

"Get lost, dirty fellow. I don't want to talk with you." Jennie angrily rebuked. Who the hell has spread that news? Should I hack into his mobile and play a prank on him?

"Same feeling. I hate you." Adney stuck his tongue out and left the place in vexation.

Ignoring his childlike behavior, Jennie glanced at her side and to her wonder, Lisa was not sitting with the grandfather. She wanted to go and search for him but precisely then, Evelyn called her up for lunch.

"My last name is hungry," Arthur spoke up, appearing out of nowhere and stood in front of her.

"And my first name is always," Jennie said, a light smile spread across her face.

"Wah! We complement each other even in food. "The insanity of their personality made Arthur laugh.

" Indeed grandfather." Taking Jennie's eager nod, Arthur began guiding her to the dining area. Since she was hungry, Jennie ignored the idea to search for Lisa thinking that he would be in the 'comfort room' enjoying his time. So, she went along with him to have her full.

She quickly followed the aroma of food and when they reached the dining area and watching the varieties of food sitting on the table, and the sight of the delicious smell, her mouth watered.

"You are here, Jennie." Fredrick started. "Let's have lunch. Don't think that Eve has prepared all these foods. She is a lazy sloth after all."

"Can't you speak little good points at least in front of Jennie?" Evelyn whacked her husband, with that both started fighting then and there.
