HOW YOU LIKE THAT | JENLISA

Chapter 10

Jennie

"Jen, there's someone outside who wants to see you." Nichkhun informed me one evening, a few days after my arrival at the Manoban mansion.

I had a slight idea who that was, but I still asked anyway. "Who is it?"

"The man identified himself as your uncle, and there's a younger guy who says that he's your cousin. They showed us some pictures for proof as well." He said, "We allow family visitations to our employees, so if you want to see your family, I could arrange for them to sit and chat with you in the guest sitting area."

My blood ran cold. Uncle Jiyong and Jay were both disgusting and worthless people, and I didn't know how they had figured out my address. I didn't remember ever letting it slip from my mouth.

I could only think of one reason that they would come here.

To extort money from me, and now that they knew where I worked, I was sure that they would make things difficult for everyone.

"Nichkhun, I don't want to see them. Please make some excuse and tell them to leave."

He nodded, understanding the fear in my undertone. He turned to the house butler. "Jackson, tell the gentlemen outside that they have a misunderstanding and we do not have a Ms. Jennie Kim working here."

They were hardly people that you would call gentlemen, but I refused to say anything mostly because once I opened up to Nichkhun about my past, I would have to explain the why, how, and when and I didn't need that right now. I came to Damyang County and took this job because I wanted to start over and talking about my past would just open up old wounds.

Besides, the thought of Uncle Jiyong and Jay in this house was like inviting a pair of coyotes. The silver would automatically disappear from the house and no one would even notice.

"Yes, sir." Jackson left the room and walked down the hallway towards the main door.

Nichkhun turned to me and placed his hand on my back. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

I shook my head. "They aren't good people and I don't consider them as family."

"You're right. Not all blood relatives can be called family. Jen, if you ever need to talk to anyone, I'll always be here for you and I'm sure Sorn would be glad to lend you an ear, too."

"I really appreciate that." I said genuinely.

"And as long as you're under our employment, we will protect you. You have nothing to worry about."
