The Mysterious Escort | JENSOO [20+]

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Go Back Couple

JENNIE'S POV

Arriving at the restaurant I was still thinking about the report I read earlier. I was trying to wrap my head around this whole situation and I wasn't getting anywhere close to an answer.

Taking a deep breath, I cleared my mind and walked over to Mino, who was head of staff at the restaurant. He was the one delegating tasks to the waiting staff and I was ready to know my tables for the night.

"Hi Mino, how are you?” I said and approached.

"Good." He answered shortly and looked at his tablet to give me the information I came for.

"You will be responsible for table 11, 12, 13 and 14 tonight," he said and I nodded.

I had gotten the tables at the far back of the room which was fine with me. The guests had started to arrive slowly and I was getting busier. From one table to another time was passing fast since I was running back and forth between the kitchen and the tables.

When I was clearing one of the tables I smelled a familiar scent and when I looked up my eyes met her immediately. It had been so long since those dark eyes had looked into mine.

My eyes landed on the woman next to her and I looked away immediately. Grabbing the plates in a hurry I ran back into the kitchen to hide. However, I couldn't stay here for the rest of the night.

Taking a deep breath I grabbed the electronic notepad where I wrote the orders down and exited the kitchen.

I felt a pull and I knew immediately who it was. She had been waiting by the entrance to the kitchen and pulled me away towards the guest restrooms. Pushing one of the doors open she pushed me inside one and locked behind herself.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked furious.

"I am trying to talk to you?" she spat back with fire radiating in her eyes.

Jisoo was angry that I had tried to avoid her. I tried to walk past her to leave but she grabbed my arm forcefully and pushed me against the sink.

"You don't get to leave this restroom before we have talked," she said and I looked into her eyes daring her to let me go.

"We have nothing to talk about," I said and her grip tightened painfully around my arm.

"You've changed your phone number," she said and I looked directly into her eyes not afraid of her anymore.

What more could she do to hurt me?

"I did." I said and her eyes started to soften.

"Why are you running away from me?" she asked and I didn't wince once looking into her eyes.

"I am moving on. I am trying to start over after all the shit you put me through," I said feeling disgusted by the fact that she had asked her friend, Jeongyeon to do her dirty work for her.

"Don't blame me for something you have caused yourself. You became greedy and sold the video to the tabloids!" she yelled and I looked at her in disbelief.

"What?" I asked and her eyes were turning cold again.

"You heard me right! Jeongyeon found out that you were the one who had leaked the video. I guess they haven't paid you the promised amount since you are back to being a waitress," she said and scoffed at the comment.

"Own up to your shit for once, Jisoo. Tell me how you ordered your friend, Jeongyeon, to leak the video. Be honest just this once,” I said looking into her eyes.

Doubt was clouding her eyes and Jisoo wasn't sure what I was talking about.

"Jeongyeon?" she asked and I nodded knowing sher was confused. "It can't be true. I have known Jeongyeon almost my whole life. She wouldn't do this. Especially not when she knows my feelings for you,” she said and my heart skipped a beat.
