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

149-150

They were just looking for a substitute.

Star Entertainment did not have to get someone to call her personally. If they wanted to contact her, they should've gotten the person who recommended her in the first place to do so.

The most important thing was, she'd never taken a substitute role before. She'd already told the company she worked at that she wouldn't take up these offers.

Hence, it wouldn't make sense for anyone to recommend her for such a role.

She didn't have time to think so carefully while she was on the line. But in hindsight, it was weird in so many ways.

"Star Entertainment is a huge company. They've got so many top tier artistes under them. Have you gone for an interview with them before?"

"No." Jennie shook her head with a look of skepticism in her eyes.

"They said that they've got an upcoming show and they're about to start filming. They asked if I can be a substitute for their female lead."

"Substitute?" Rosé furrowed her brows.

"I thought you weren't into these roles?"

"Exactly."

Jennie explained, "That's why I find it strange. I've never taken up a job like that. I don't see why anyone would come to me for this."

Rosé thought for a while before saying, "I'll check out Star Entertainment and see if they really have an upcoming show, and who their female lead is. Anyway, it isn't a big deal, don't think too much about it."

"Mm." Jennie nodded.

"Baby, can I ask you something?"

"Mm, go on."

Rosé looked at her and hesitated for a while before whispering, "What kind of person is Prince charming?"

Jennie was stunned.

She and Lisa did not have any agreement whatsoever. And he'd never asked her to keep his identity a secret. Then again, he'd never openly made known who he was. He never entertained any interviews too.

Many people knew that Manoban Corporation had a very young President, but they had no idea what his name was nor how he looked like. It seemed like he kept a very low profile.

And that he preferred for fewer people to know his true identity. Although Rosé was her best friend, she hesitated to tell her the truth about Lisa.

Before she decided whether to tell her, Rosé said, "It's alright if it's inconvenient. I don't absolutely have to know it. Baby, I was just asking about his background to know whether he could ensure your future career in the entertainment industry. If he's powerful enough, then perhaps you could try to audition for some bigger roles. You don't always have to go back to the calefare roles."

"Back then, Kai wasn't in support of you being in the entertainment industry. Even if he had resources to help you, he wouldn't. That's why you couldn't make it big in the field. But if Prince Charming isn't against it, and is willing to support you, then wouldn't it be easier for you to gain popularity and find success in this circle?" Rosé meant every word she said.

Jennie was very beautiful.

The sort of beautiful that people were comfortable with looking at for a long time.

Her face definitely made the cut for a female lead on the big screens.

Rosé always felt that given Jennie's looks, she was born to be in the entertainment circle. Moreover, she had what it took to do well.

What she needed was simply an opportunity to showcase herself.The Kim Family had a media and entertainment company with quite a number of artistes under their management. They'd also managed to groom a few of them to stardom.

Krystal was signed under the Kimfamily's company. Kai would rather groom Krystal than Jennie. That was because he cared for Jennie too much.

After marrying her, he wouldn't want her to
have such a career where everyone would see her so much. And yet, he somehow came to feel something for Krystal.

Now, Kai had officially taken over the family business. Krystal was also doing very well in her career. This adulterous pair was having their way at everything...

It was so frustrating to think of that.

Jennie was better than Krystal in so many ways. If someone would groom her, she'd outdo Krystal easily.

Jennie pursed her lips and kept quiet for a while. She'd thought about what Rosé said before. In fact, she'd even given it serious consideration.

She actually had no idea whether Lisa was in favor of her being in the entertainment industry.

But... it seemed like he'd never objected to it before.

Of course she knew that if he was her backing, she wouldn't have to worry about the potential problems.

The Manoban family was not to be trifled with by anyone. Lisa definitely had the ability to protect her and safeguard her interests.

While in deep thought, her cell phone rang again.

She saw that it was a call from the Kim family, and her expression darkened slightly.

"Hello."

"First Miss," Nanny Chen said in a panicked voice.

"Come back, quick!"

Jennie was immediately alerted. "What happened?"

"Today... Today, Second Miss said that Madam's room seems nice. It has natural light and it's by the garden, so there's lots of fresh air. She wants to move into Madam's room."

"What?!" Jennie's expression turned a little awful. "She wants to move into Mom's room? Dream on! Does Dad know about this, what did he say?"

Nanny Chen was crying over the phone.
"Master was against it initially. But Second Miss said that she's pregnant now, and the fortune master told her that the room she's in now isn't good for her baby. She has to move into Madam's room in order to have the child safely. Moreover, Young Master Kimkeeps speaking for Second Miss, how could Master offend him? So he... agreed."

"Second Miss is getting someone to pack her belongings now, she wants to move in today. First Miss, come back quickly. That's Madam's room! Master had promised Madam and you that he'd keep the room intact after she passed. Besides First Miss, no one should be allowed to move into that room."

"Second Miss and Madam Zhen know about this. They're doing it deliberately."

Jennie's expression got even darker. When she hung up, she looked terrible. She was so angry, she almost hurled her cell phone at the wall.

They were too overbearing!

Krystal took Kai away. But she resigned to it since that scum wasn't worth her being hung up over him!

But Jennie would not allow her to take over her mother's room!

"Jennie, what's wrong?" Rosé asked right away when she saw her expression.

"Nothing." Jennie clenched her fist and sneered.

"Rosie, I'm going home for a while. I need to
settle something. If I'm not back by the time the afternoon classes start, help me apply for leave."
