Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 1)

102

"But, we've signed a contract..." Jae-beom's manager cautioned, furrowing his brows as he followed behind.

"Just let them know I'm not feeling well and tell the doctor to write me a letter...don't tell me you don't even know how to do this?" Jae-beom gave an evil amused smile. Up to this point, his career had been smooth sailing; no one had ever dared to stand him up like this. Yet, an outdated model had actually dared to do such a thing.

"I understand," the manager wrapped himself tighter with his coat and followed closely behind.

The reason Jae-beom could be so reckless was because his father was a huge investor for a film company. Even if he breached his contract and didn't turn up to a shoot, he would simply have to pay a little compensation; to him, it was nothing.

On the other hand, Jennie was different. She was grateful for every opportunity because things did not come easily.

That night, Beijing's night lights were dazzling. Sung-jae arrived at Hyatt Regency; this was his first time entering Jennie's residence.

Although he had long imagined how luxurious Jennie and Lisa's love nest would be, after seeing the Spanish-palace-style design, he still felt his heart skipped a beat in surprise.

A moment later, Jennie walked down from the upper level dressed in home clothes. Looking at the cautious Sung-jae, she questioned, "You're here...did Lim Jae-beom make things difficult for you?"

"I wouldn't say it was difficult, but this Lim Jae-beom did not react the way I expected. I have a feeling he won't let us off so easily," Sung-jae speculated. "Now that Kim Chungha seems to have the intention to suppress you, we will need to be extra careful."

"You...seem to be leaning towards my side?" Jennie sat down on the sofa, her voice was sweet as she slightly smiled.

Sung-jae froze for a moment. He didn't realize his words had begun to reveal a bit of his answer: the answer that Lisa wanted in Moscow.

"For now, I am on my heart's side," Sung-jae replied in a serious tone. It was impossible for him to suddenly betray Kim Chungha.

"It's OK, I won't force you," Jennie said as she brushed back her hair.

"After LM's commercial, you will have a succession of magazine shoots. The month ahead will be fairly busy, I'm here to give you a heads up."

Sung-jae noticed Lisa also heading downstairs towards the living room. Compared to when he was usually suited up, he looked a little different, but his facial features were perfect as usual. He looked a little less fierce and a little more homey.

Hanging across his arm was a jacket. Seeing Jennie wasn't wearing much, he leaned over and placed the jacket on her before returning upstairs without interrupting their conversation.

Sung-jae was curious about Lisa's sudden gesture, until he looked down and noticed an outbound message on Jennie's phone screen. It simply said, "Hon...I'm cold."

"I can't stand your displays of affection, I'm going to head off..." After speaking, Sung-jae stood up to leave, but Jennie held him back with a few words.

"Sung-jae, although I've said this many times before, I must stress, I do not initiate attacks on people, but I am vengeful. As long as Kim Chungha does not go overboard, I will try my best to tolerate her."

"Prepare well for your commercial shoot."

Sung-jae replied calmly as he turned around and left Hyatt Regency.

Jennie's eyes sunk as she wrapped the jacket around herself and headed back to the study room. Seeing Lisa busy, she quietly approached him from behind, leaned over and wrapped her arms around his neck. Everything about this man took her breath away; when at home, all she wanted to do was get closer to him and get to know him better.
