I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

147-148

"That's good."

Rosé sighed in relief. "It's the weekend tomorrow, we can go and visit Tae in the hospital."

"No need for that." Jennie said, "The doctor told me yesterday that Tae can be discharged tomorrow. Don't you have a photoshoot over the weekend for an online boutique? When you've got the time, I'll get Tae to come out and we can have a meal together."

"Sure." Rosé did not insist.

"Oh right, I'll be receiving my pay next week. Once I get the money, I'll treat you guys to a meal. I said before that I'll give you and Prince Charming a treat, but don't you despise me if the place I take you to isn't high-class enough!"

..........

After breakfast, Jennie and Rosé hooked arms as they walked to class. They bumped into Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei on the way.

Their expressions went cold as they saw Jennie and Rosé walking in their direction. Bai Xiao eyed them for a few seconds before sneering.

Zhang Yuwei did the same and then turned away. "Xiao Xiao, let's go. Someone here has a backing, we can't afford to offend her."

Both of them were holding a little booklet each. They were most likely going to the counselor to hand in their reflections.

"That's right, we can't offend her." Bai Xiao sneered strangely.

"I heard Shen Yueyue and the rest are still being detained in the police station. It wasn't a big deal, they should've been released way earlier. But Some people are plain vile. It's so torturous to be held in a place like that even for a day, they're pushing them to depression by locking them in for so long."

"Sigh, who's to blame? Shen Yueyue doesn't have a strong enough backing."

"Glad you know that." Jennie did not react, but Rosé scoffed at them.

"If you guys find Shen Yueyue pitiful, you can always go in and accompany her. She'd surely be very touched."

"Rosé, it's you again!"

Bai Xiao glared at her and yelled, "Who do you think you are?! You think you can threaten us?!"

Rosé chuckled and was about to say something when Jennie said, "Whatever Rosie thinks is whatever I think too. Anyway, I'm 'plain vile', and I'm capable of anything. If you want to go in and keep Shen Yueyue company, I can help you with that."

The two smug expressions were immediately wiped off their faces the moment Jennie said that.

They had only just heard that Shen Yueyue and Zhao Wanting were held in the police station too.

The Shen and Zhao families searched for ways to get them out but to no avail. Besides that, they'd also found out about Sheng Hui Corporation's bankruptcy.

It was evident that Jennie's boyfriend was behind these. Even Kai wouldn't have been able to make Sheng Hui bankrupt overnight.

It was becoming obvious that Jennie's current boyfriend was way more powerful than the Kim family.

He was definitely... someone they couldn't antagonize.

They hated him so much, but there was nothing they could do. They could put Rosé down, but not with Jennie around.

The two girls clenched their teeth and fumed, but they had nothing more to say. "Yuwei, let's go!"

Bai Xiao shot Jennie a death glare before walking off with Zhang Yuwei.

Rosé then made a silly face behind them "Hmph, I'll anger you to death!"

Jennie grabbed her hand and smiled."Alright, Rosie, ignore them. Let's go."

Rosé nodded and then sighed. "Girls are terrifying when they get jealous. Baby, I think they hate you to the core now. You'd better be careful. I have a feeling they might be up to something soon."

Especially Bai Xiao.

The glare she shot Jennie before she left was pretty scary.

.........

Jennie didn't have many lessons in the morning. Her morning classes ended at just a little past 10.

She'd just walked out of the classroom when she received a call. "Miss Kim, we're calling from Star Entertainment Film Company. We've got a female lead character that requires a substitute recently, and we think you'd be suitable for that role. Would you have any interest in this?"

Jennie was a little taken aback.

She was stunned for a few seconds before asking, "Star Entertainment Film Company?"

"Yes."

"I don't think I sent my resumé to your company." Jennie had heard about Star Entertainment before.

It was one of the larger film companies around.

Jennie hadn't received any gigs in a while.

There'd been fewer production crews, and even the top tier actors and actresses didn't have many opportunities, much less a small player like her.

She usually took up jobs in smaller work studios and the like. It surprised her that a large company like Star Entertainment would call her out of the blue.

She'd never sent them any resume, nor had she gone for an interview with them.

How did Star Entertainment get her number?

Before she figured it out, the man on the other end said, "A friend of mine recommended you to us. Miss Kim, have you considered? We'll definitely offer you a price you're satisfied with."

Upon hearing that, Jennie did not think too deeply about it.

She considered it seriously and then replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not really familiar with the role of a substitute."

The other party seemed to have been stunned by her response.

He asked a few seconds later, "Miss Kim, are you rejecting this offer?"

Jennie said, "I'm sorry, I don't think I'm suitable for this."

If she hadn't been married to Lisa, she'd definitely be in need of money now.

Taehyung's surgery cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and she would've needed to work to pay it off.

She wouldn't have rejected this job.

But now...

She had a Black Card in her hand, with an expenditure cap in the millions of yuan. She didn't want to take on jobs that had no help in her future prospects anymore.

She'd rather have her previous gigs and part-time jobs than be a substitute. At least, appearing on screen for a few scenes would give her some exposure.

Being someone's substitute wouldn't help her at all. "Miss Kim, you're sure about this?"

"Yes."

The other party kept quiet for a while and then said, "Alright, then. Since that's the case, we won't insist. This is my work cell phone number. Miss Kim can give me a call if you change your mind."

Jennie replied, "Alright."

After she hung up, Rosé asked, "Baby, was it Star Entertainment who called?"

"Mm." Jennie looked at the number on her phone screen with an odd expression.
