The Mysterious Escort | JENSOO [20+]

Chapter Sixteen: The Leak Video

JENNIE'S POV

I hadn't seen Jisoo since that night we spent together in her cabin during the office trip. She wasn't at the firm and she wasn't texting or calling me for favors. I was relieved to have this kind of distance between us but I still missed the physical connection. It was after all the only time I could get close enough to feel her heartbeat against mine. It made her more approachable, more human. I couldn't believe that I was craving her touches despite all the hurtful things she had said and done.

Who was this Jennie?

I couldn't look at my own reflection in the mirror anymore. I used to have power over my life and feelings but after meeting Jisoo, I had lost that side of myself. I had willingly given up on myself. My mind and heart were in an immense battle and I had no clue of how I would be able to know what my real feelings were.

I was messed up and Jisoo was the only one to blame for it. I grabbed my phone in confusion, wanting to call her. She couldn't just ghost me for days when I was struggling to define my place by her side. This whole thing was fucked up and I had to sort it out with her.

Unlocking my phone, I entered the contacts wanting to call Jisoo but my phone shut off by itself, before I could make the call. My phone had been like this for the past few days and it annoyed me. I had to get it serviced since I was sure the battery was acting up again.

Turning on the phone once more, I tried to enter the contacts once more. The screen went dark once more and I groaned in confusion, getting the unwanted attention of my colleagues.

Turning my phone back on again, a notification on my screen popped up. I had been logged out of my cloud account and it was asking for my password. Logging back in my phone turned off once again and I couldn't deal with this anymore.

I grabbed the office phone and called Jisoo. The phone rang twice before Miss Hong answered.

"CEO Kim's office, how can I help you?" she said and I hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

"Miss Hong, is CEO Kim in office today?" I asked waiting for her answer.

I was nervous and the lump in my throat was growing bigger.

"CEO Kim will be working from her home office today. Is there anything else Miss Kim?" she said and I sighed.

"No, Miss Hong. I will e-mail CEO Kim about the Lee-case," I said and hung up.

I knew nobody in this office was fond of me, not even Miss Hong. The reputation Jisoo had created was keeping them away and the disgusted look in their eyes were making my blood turn to ice. Even at this very moment, I knew what they were thinking of me and how disgusted they were with the rumors of me sleeping with Jisoo.

Despite it all it was the truth. I had slept with her for money and in order to keep this job but along the way I had given her a part of me that I couldn't take back anymore. I could leave this firm and her life but I wasn't ready to give up on these feelings and my dreams. I needed a break from my thoughts, I had to clear my mind and think straight.

"Jennie, are you okay?" Rose said and I felt her hand on my shoulder.

"No. I feel like shit and I haven't been able to talk to Jisoo for days and it is slowly driving me crazy," I said and she took the seat next to mine.

"Have you tried calling her?" she asked and I nodded.

"I called her office but she is working from her home office today," I said and she looked over to me on the table.
