My Daring Wife

Blind Dates

Elegantly climbing out of the car, one seductive foot at a time, the onlookers gawked in awe as two beautiful women stepped out of the black car. The host at the front immediately came to greet them when the two walked in. He must've been new because his eyes never left the legendary supermodel, Kim Lisa.

Playing into the poor boy's obvious desires, she leaned on the counter, her long slender arm out for him to see. Because the red dress didn't leave much to hide, the boy visibly gulped.

Presenting him with a sultry smile, Kim Lisa was able to make him blush. "I made a reservation under KL?"

The boy snapped out of his daze, clearing his throat in an attempt to hide his growing blush. "Y-yes, Ms. Kim. R-right this way please." He stumbled over his words, barely able to keep his composure.

Kim Lisa looped her hand into Lee Jennie's arm.

Lee Jennie couldn't help but stifle her laughter, feeling sorry for the boy who was being severely played by Kim Lisa.

Later on, he guided them to their private room.

"That was mean." Lee Jennie chided when he left the room as if he had stumbled upon a den of lions. This poor kid....

As soon as he left, the walked in and handed them the menu with two hands.

"I know." Kim Lisa shrugged, flipping her hair over her shoulders.

"This room is quite large for just the two of us." Lee Jennie commented as she opened the menu.

Suddenly, Kim Lisa, who was sitting opposite to her stiffened. "The bigger, the better, my dear." She winked.

Lee Jennie, who was already used to her friend's perverted jokes, rolled her eyes. Whereas the waiter handling them nearly choked. Luckily, he was able to fix his composure in time. "G-good evening, I will be your server for this evening. May I take your drink order?" Unlike the boy who had guided them into the room, the waiter was much more experienced.

"Mm, I'll have some white wine from your best bottle." Kim Lisa said while opening her menu and skimming through 'Today's Special.' 

"Just lemon water for me, please." Lee Jennie quietly said, skipping the alcohol page of her menu.

After a few seconds of ordering their food, the two closed the menu. Then the waiter took it, bowed, and excused himself.

After he was and the two of them were alone in the private room, Kim Lisa finally spoke up. "You sure you don't want a glass of wine? They have some of the best collections in the city." She mused, faintly remembering the previous Lee Jennie who drank wine like it was water.

"No, I promised Grandfather I'd stop drinking so much." Lee Jennie explained with a small smile.

When her mother and father abandoned her two years ago, the day she fell from Ulsan's grace, Lee Jennie was left to fend the evil alone.

Her parents cancelled her credit cards, tossed her out of the house, and practically disowned her without legal papers, which left her with no resources. Her grandfather was the first to offer her a helping hand. She was surprised to see this, as he placed business over family members and was rarely known to perform favors for others, regardless if she was his kin. Little did she know, her grandfather valued her more than the others and it was for a very particular ability she possessed.

"Hm, speaking of Elder Lee, how is he these days?" Kim Lisa drummed her fingers onto the table, with her perfect chin resting on her hand.

Lee Jennie chuckled at the recent memory of her grandfather in his Kung Fu outfit sparing and beating up men a fraction of his age.

"He's as lively as ever." She mused, a twinkle in her eyes.

Just then, the door to their private room opened and a different man walked in.

"Sir, I think you have the wrong room." Lee Jennie frowned, her hand secretly reaching for the pepper spray she always carried.

The man was dressed in casual clothes but upon closer inspection, Lee Jennie noticed that his clothes were from the latest season collection of men's clothes by Hermes.

"Oh no, he's not. I invited him." Kim Lisa smiled.

Lee Jennie blinked in confusion.

"My dear, meet Hong Joshua. He's one of the country's leading doctors." Kim Lisa gestured to the man to sit down on the opposite side of Lee Jennie.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Lee Jennie."  The man's voice was surprisingly very soft and smooth, like a milk chocolate.

"Please, the pleasure is all mine." Lee Jennie warmly smiled, gesturing to the man to sit down. Although she was all smiles and sunshine on the outside, an angry storm was brewing within her.

She was tired of being set up on blind dates without anyone telling her! She knew that she should've been suspicious when Kim Lisa insisted she wear a beautiful dress, instead of her usual dress pants.

Just when Hong Joshua sat down, the waiter walked in with drinks. He was slightly surprised to see that a new guest had joined the table, but he immediately regained his composure.

"Would you like a menu sir?" The waiter asked while placing down the drinks.

"No, I'll have what she's having." Hong Joshua nodded in Lee Jennie's direction.

The waiter nodded and passed out the drinks.

However, Hong Joshua was surprised when he saw that the wine glass was for Kim Lisa and not for Lee Jennie. He might've not been very informative on high society, but when he researched Lee Jennie, he was sure that she liked alcohol.

Noticing his curious gaze, Lee Jennie smiled. "I'm trying to cut back on the alcohol. It's not the best thing for my Kidney." She lightly laughed, taking a sip of water.

"Ah, is that so? Well, as a doctor, I wholeheartedly agree with you." He winked, rolling up the sleeves of his cashmere sweater to reveal the expensive Rolex watch on his wrists.

Lee Jennie hummed in reply but didn't say much. She knew he was deliberately showing off his wealth, but growing up in a high society, a simple Rolex was not enough to impress her. She had seen better, in particular Xu Kai's magnificent collection of watches....

The entire conversation between the three was light and uneventful, despite Hong Joshua's constant chatter where he would often try to invite Lee Jennie into the conversation. Although she was polite and would always respond, her answers were purposely dry. She didn't want to lead him on as he seemed very interested in her.

Hong Joshua was not a bad looking man. His hair was half combed back on one side, the other was neatly shaved into a fade, and his features were light on the eyes. He was polite and respectful but nothing about him screamed interesting.

Although Lee Jennie had exchanged number with him, she was reluctant to do so and deliberately gave him the wrong number.

When they walked out the sun was beginning to set.

"Have a good day, Hong Joshua." Lee Jennie bid him goodbye with Kim Lisa doing the same.

"Have a good day ladies." He smiled revealing his white teeth. With a final nod, he climbed off into his car and drove off.
