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

114

Seeing Kim Chungha like this, Ian immediately made a phone call to his contacts in the industry and realized he and Chungha both made a lethal mistake.

"We both had the wrong time."

"What do you mean?" Chungha didn't quite understand Ian's words.

"The only reason Jennke appeared at Hai Yi so calmly was because there was no clash with the time. Feng Cai changed their broadcast schedule a few weeks back and pushed it back one hour; we completely missed this small detail."

Maybe because everyone was familiar that Feng Cai's broadcast time was 8pm, so even though they had announced a change in their schedule, Chungha didn't take particular notice of it. Hence, she thought there was no change.

"This Jennie is too smart for her own good!"

"What should we do now? Do we just sit here and watch her go on the program?" Chungha slammed her hands frustratingly on the desk in front of her. She had wasted so much energy and effort - even going so far as to use threatening and kidnapping methods - yet, in the end, did Jennie actually get the better of her?

In actual fact, when Jennie found out about Rosé being threatened, she was already on her way to the studio. As soon as she realized Im Yoon-ah's show was at 7pm and her interview was at 9pm, she immediately decided to go to Hai Yi Center. She just found it weird that Chungha would give her a leeway of 2 hours to appear in both places.

Was this supposedly Chungha's way of stopping her? After putting in so much effort, was this really her way of preventing her from going on Feng Cai?

Was she being serious?

Sung-jae couldn't help but laugh, "From what I know about Kim Chungha, she definitely calculated things incorrectly this time."

"What do you mean?" Jennie questioned.

"I reckon she didn't know Feng Cai had changed their broadcast time," Sung-jae couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon exiting Hai Yi Center, Jennie was supposed to board Sung-jae's van and rush to the TV studio, but as she entered the parking lot, she spotted Lisa's car. So, she quickly gave Sung-jae an explanation, pulled open Lisa's car door and sat in the front passenger's seat.

"Didn't I say not to come?"

Lisa turned and looked at Jennie as he lifted her hands and examined her palms, "Didn't you bring bodyguards? Why did you need to use your own hands? Don't they hurt?"

Jennie thought Lisa would be worried about Rosé or he'd be curious about Im Yoon-ah's fate and Jisoo's performance. Who would have thought the first thing he asked was whether her hands hurt.

"It hurt at the time, but now it's just a little numb," Jennie confessed. After all, she had given 5 slaps and used her full force, it would be impossible not to feel anything.

Lisa gently rubbed her palms and looked at her with a helpless, yet doting expression, "I never thought you would personally make a move."

"Did you really think I have such a great temper?" Jennie smiled.

"That's because 'somebody' knows they have me backing them, that's why they had the courage!"

Lisa glanced at Jennie as he complained in a doting tone. Of course, his current expression was a huge contrast from how he looked at work, "You still haven't learned your lesson...you have a surefire plan, yet you refuse to use it. Must you make me worry?" Lisa gently let go of her hand and turned his focus to driving. He needed to get her to the interview.

"Sometimes, one needs to experience pain to fully remember how others have suffered on their behalf." This time, Rosé was the one that had suffered; she had tolerated the humiliation and endured the threat from Kim Chungha, yet she never considered betraying Jennie even once.
