The Traps of the Black Swan

Nico placed a picture of twenty-year-old Jennie standing between Mino and Jisoo with her bright smile adorning her innocence. Nico noticed Lisa composing in a blink of an eye gazing at nothing but Jennie in the picture.

Lisa who hadn't touched a single paper reached for the picture while Nico spoke with confusion in his eyes due to Lisa. Nico was expecting Lisa to be very angry so that he could deal with Ruby Jane before she touches Vance Hays but 'why is he serene?'

"Lisa, I am unsure if you have noticed this girl before so let me introduce her to you, she is Jennie Kim who studied with Jisoo and CEO Song in the country S. She isn't Ruby Jane but looks similar. She is the ex-fiancé of Vance Hays from the Hays family but..."

Nico found himself hesitating to speak about Jennie but he still continued, "She was found to be a promiscuous person even after the engagement. Hence..."

Lisa failed to notice Nico's quandary eyes, clenched fist and slight trembling brows while speaking about Jennie. Lisa balled up his fist feeling his blood bubble in his veins, urging to cut the tongue which spoke ill of his woman right before him.

A deep fiercely cold tone cut in. "Proof." Nico who felt a cold run down his spine saw Lisa extending his hand for proof of what he stated.

Nico: "..."

Nico was word struck. He couldn't understand the protectiveness of Lisa for Jennie. If he likes Ruby Jane, then why is he protective of another woman? It can't be because of Jisoo. Is he with Ruby Jane because she looks like Jennie? How could that be? If he had loved her, he wouldn't have let her engage with somebody else, would he?

Nico had numerous questions without a proper response and he knew he can't ask Lisa. Looking at Lisa's hand asking for proof, he realized he always heard the words and had no proof.

Lisa continued with his tone turning freezing colder by each second, "You heard them spout and titled her with them."

Nico's team had collected information about Jennie, they got a lot of information but nothing was wrong until she had returned back from studies.

When it comes to calling her promiscuous woman for involving with many sexual partners, those were only talks without any proof. How much ever his team worked hard for a week, it was clean to the extent his team was calling her dumb for silently suffering her mean-spirited parents.

He stuttered for failing in it, "I- I..." He wanted to say her own parents believed it too but he was aware that her parents were more brutal than anybody.

Milo Wen who had stood at the entrance of the door was gritting his teeth, completely swapping the intelligence of Nico as a man who is dead from the neck up.

Nico was trying to manage the situation for not foreseeing Lisa could also be interested in another woman.

Before Nico's voice, "Nico Bruton." Lisa thundered again causing Nico to stun and furrow his brows without understanding how it turned out this way and he was missing something important proof which he worded.

The secretaries were shocked by hearing Lisa's voice. They knew their president pretty well, he wouldn't bat an eyelid if they lost millions of money so they understood it might be because Ruby Jane or his family. However, they strongly sided with Ruby Jane.

They started peeking in the office to see Lisa and made sure to hide well just keeping their heads out. Milo Wen was confused thinking if he should enter and submit the file or leave them for privacy.

Nico who had no comeback heard Lisa continue but his voice toned down but held a deadly dark air opposite to how he looked in compose, "You have a sister too. Will you call her the same if your dear friend Vance Hays calls her promiscuous? Or do you want me to count the number of boyfriends she had?"
