The Mysterious Escort | JENSOO [20+]

Chapter Fourteen: The Company Trip 🔞

JENNIE'S POV

I couldn't believe that I had convinced myself to come on this trip. Rose had played a major role in the whole convincing Jennie to join the trip thing but in the end, I had made myself cave in to her countless begging. I wasn't expecting the trip to be any different from my reality right now.

Every single colleague thought that I was a cheap slut who had slept her way into the position of an assistant attorney in Jisoo's team. The disgusted gazes of people had especially manifested themselves after the announcement of the placement of the hired interns.

I was officially Jisoo's prisoner now and I hated it. Especially now that I couldn't stop my heart from skipping a beat whenever our eyes met.

She was constantly in my head and I hated it. I hated knowing how much power she had over me and how trapped I was in this whole situation. If I ran she would destroy me and if I continued to stay she would break me.

I had to find a way to protect myself and my heart I thought while my eyes were drifting away to the distant spot by the horizon.

"You are way too silent for such a long trip,” Rose said while driving.

She had offered to drive and I was more than grateful not to take the bus the company had booked.

"I have a lot in my mind and I can't just put it all on standby," I said and turned to look at her.

Rose was lucky to have a girlfriend who loved her and cared for her. Lisa had even given her car keys to Rose so she could drive to the campsite without feeling all bunched up in a rented bus.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" she said and I smiled.

I could tell her anything but I couldn't tell her everything.

"Yes, but I will keep this one to myself,” I said and looked at the interior of the car once again. “Your girlfriend-" I said and she looked at me curious to know the rest of my sentence. "what does she do for a living again?" I asked and she started laughing.

"Well-she is the lead singer of Blacklable." she said and I nodded knowing that little fact.

"And?" I asked knowing that she was hiding something.

"And the heir to the Manoban Corporate Empire." She said and my eyes widened in shock.

"You are dating Lalisa Manoban? You are dating that Lisa?" I said in complete shock.

Manoban Group was the biggest shipping company active in ocean and inland freight transportation. In other words, Rose's girlfriend was the hotshot heir of a multi-billion-dollar business.

"Yes," she said being a little shy. "Look-it wasn't my intention to hide this from you but the way Lisa and I started off was very complex and I am sure we need a bottle of wine to break that story," she explained and we settled into silence.

There were so many questions I wanted to ask her but I was going to wait for the right time.

JISOO'S POV

When I arrived at the camping site, my eyes found Rose's car immediately. I couldn't wait to see if she had succeeded in dragging Jennie with her. When Seulgi had introduced me to Rose, I wasn't impressed. Rose looked like any other woman out there ready to sell her love for money. She had succeeded in catching a big fish in the form of Lalisa Manoban and I wasn't sure why she wanted to work as an intern for my law firm when she could join the legal team at Manoban Group.
