Chapter 30

LISA

"Jennie!" I called after her as she walked up the stairs unexpectedly fast. "Jennie! That's no explanation! Why did you do all this today?! Why did you pretend to be my girlfriend?" As I finished speaking, the young woman turned to me.

"What do you think? Why do you think I did that?" Helpless, I took a strand of hair that was hanging in my face and played with it.

"I don't know. You tell me. You're suddenly kind, loving and sensitive. You looked at me like you were someone else. Like I'm a different person in your eyes. That... that was so unexpected and somehow... it confused me. So I just wanted to know if-"

"Just. Wait a minute." She interrupted me and went back the few flights of stairs to be at my eye level. That meant she went down one more so that she was standing one lower than me. Now I saw her eyes again, which I've been seeing tonight but this time they looked different, they looked warm but somehow cold at the same time...

"Do you honestly think I've professed my love for you indirectly, or would I be in love with you in any small way?"

"Well I-,, But Jennie laughed. She just started laughing.

My heart clenched when she just laughed, as it wasn't a nice, warm, and rousing one... no, it was cold, repulsive, and unpredictable.

"Lalisa, just because you're rich and you've fucked everything up the ass for years, had a great childhood and probably got laid by every quarterback, do you really think I'm into such an arrogant, sneaky, and used person?"

As if her words were knives, they pierced my skin. Everywhere I felt this stabbing pain. Did she really think that of me?

"Jennie, you-,,

"Stop. I'm right. You use your charms to get what you need."

A small tear rolled down my cheek. I didn't want to cry, I didn't want to be weak in front of her. She shouldn't even see that I was even vulnerable.

For a brief moment everything left her face. Every little vein with anger was visible, that stinging in her eyes, that cold expression. All of that was gone for milliseconds. But it was only milliseconds, because immediately afterwards this cold expression came back.

"Stop crying. you don't come with me far with your acting number. As if you don't even realize you're a monster."

My whimpering stopped and I composed myself. I wasn't a weeping person, as I often saw series in which the girl was always crying and didn't rebel against the man. It couldn't be like that, not for me. My hand clenched into a fist and I suddenly stared and stared straight into Jennie's eyes. Seemed to surprise her quite a bit as she briefly looked surprised.

"Listen to me. You have no idea who I was, who I am. You don't know anything about me and you won't. What are you thinking?! Just judging me like that 'cause you think I'm a spoiled little girl. Just because you think I'd let anyone get to me, party, or just have fun. It's none of your business. You know, for a brief moment I thought that you were a good person, someone who wouldn't judge me for my outward appearance, who might understand why I am the way I am. Just someone who listens to me! I'm not perfect, I'm not special, I'm not pretty and I'm not the girl you would want. That's totally fine and I accept it, but you don't know what my childhood was like, you don't know how I was, simply because you weren't the person I was with. Nobody was there. I realize that I made mistakes and crossed boundaries. I see that and something like that can happen, but you should learn from it. However, you have no right to judge me like that, because you have your faults as well, Jennie Kim!"

Now it was quiet. Complete silence reigned throughout the house. Maybe she wanted to say something else or maybe not. At least she hadn't said anything for the next 10 seconds, so I decided to just walk away. Without further ado, I turned away and stomped up the stairs. This evening seemed to start well, but ended in complete disaster.

Actually, I really thought Jennie and I had reached a point where we could live peacefully together, so that maybe even a good friendship or at least acquaintance could develop. But that was no longer an option for me. I really had hope, but she had just torn even that out of me.

When I got to the room, I took a few clothes from the closet and quickly undressed to slip into the comfortable clothes. It was wonderful to wear loose jogging pants and a t-shirt. Now all I had to do was go to the bathroom, but when I quietly opened the door to the hallway, I heard Jennie appear to be taking a shower downstairs. Excellent...

I sighed and walked out into the hallway, closing the door behind me. I just wanted to sleep...

I was blinded by a small beam that shone through the gap in the door opposite. My curiosity was piqued and I started towards the door. As I entered the small office, the moon shone into the room. It was beautiful, really beautiful. There was also a couch in here. I grinned briefly before throwing myself onto the couch. But the desired soft effect did not materialize. One side was pretty hard for a couch. I held my back for a moment as it was pretty hard on my spine.

A little confused, I got up and took a good look at the sofa, taking my phone camera and shining a light along the sofa. Something flashed briefly, so I slowly reached behind one leg of the sofa and felt a button.
