So, each day passed by with the accompanying state of Lisa often exuding an intimidating and cold presence while the people around him suffered.
On the tenth day, Lisa's wound finally healed. The doctor was so excited that he announced with tears streaming down his face that Lisa could be discharged from the hospital.
Originally, Xia Zhetao had thought that once Lisa was discharged from the hospital, his miserable days would come to an end. However, reality showed him that he had been too naive.
After Lisa was discharged from the hospital, against Xia Zhetao's expectations, he did not go and look for Jennie. Instead, he went straight back to the company. His expression was dark throughout the entire day. He did not mention even a single word about Jennie, as if he had had a conflict with her.
And the truth was, Lisa really had a clash with Jennie. He did not think that he was at fault with the situation that day. He only wanted a baby with his beloved woman. Why did Jennie have to throw such a huge tantrum at him? She did not allow him to be discharged from the hospital and even threatened him that she would run away with his son. This had coincidentally pricked at Lisa's most sensitive spot.
If Lisa took the initiative to look for Jennie, would this not mean that he had compromised with her and no longer wanted to have a baby with her?
This had been absolutely unacceptable for him! He was a man. No matter what, he still had to retain his last bit of dignity as a man. He could let Jennie have her way when it came to other things. However, this matter was of nature that was non-negotiable!
With this thought in his mind, Lisa forced himself not to look for Jennie. He waited for Jennie to return to him.
The fact was, President Manoban was too naive. Jennie had been most unhappy because of the incident last time. She did not even want to see him, much less take the initiative to look for him.
This was an unfairly matched one-sided cold war. Of course, it only ended up with Jennie getting very busy with Minho's business, while Lisa got so worked up that he vented his frustration on his company.
The Mighty Secretary Xia was oppressed to the point where he barely survived. After he learned from Shin-hye by chance about Irene's child's full moon banquet and that Jennie had agreed to attend after an invitation was sent to her, he felt that he finally saw a ray of light amid the dark clouds hovering his life.
He was like a man who had fallen into a huge ocean and was left swimming in it for days. When he nearly ran out of strength and died, suddenly, he managed to grab hold of one last floating log, and he was so excited that he regained his vitality. He immediately ran to Lisa's office to come up with an idea for him.
"President, I heard that Ms. Kim has agreed to attend Ms. Park's child's full moon banquet. You also know that Ms. Kim had been very unhappy because of the incident between you and Ms. Park. No matter what the situation is, you are slightly at fault when it comes to this. Since Ms. Kim has agreed to attend Ms. Park's child's full moon banquet, this also means that Ms. Kim no longer takes the past incident to heart. But..."
"But what?" Lisa cocked one of his eyebrows. He cast a profound glance at Xia Zhetao.
Xia Zhetao gulped with difficulty. "But, even though Ms. Kim no longer takes the incident to heart, it doesn't mean that the others would not mind it either. Today, there would certainly be many people from various backgrounds attending Ms. Park's banquet, and some are good, while others are bad. Some people who lack common sense might use this incident to mock Ms. Kim and..."
Xia Zhetao still did not know the name of Lisa's son. He hesitated for some time, but still could not find a suitable name to address him.
Lisa cast a glance coldly at him. He took the initiative to remind him. "My son's nickname is Leo."
"Oh, it's Leo. The others would certainly bring up the past incident to make things difficult for Ms. Kim and Leo. President, you have had a hard time getting Ms. Kim to change her mind about you. What if those people go too far and piss Ms. Kim off? She might end up taking it out on you..."
Xia Zhetao's words had already spoken for themselves. Lisa furrowed his eyebrows. He pondered over the matter seriously.
When Xia Zhetao saw that Lisa was already a little taken in by the idea, he worked harder by offering his so-called good strategy.
"President, tomorrow, if you could personally go to the Kim family to pick up Ms. Kim, bring her to Ms. Park's place, and make an entrance together with her, when those people who intend to cause her trouble see this, they would at least show their respects to you. Besides, when you make your entrance and exit with Ms. Kim at the banquet, you guys would certainly become the center of the limelight. This would also mean that you are proving your current relationship with Ms. Kim in front of the public!"
Lisa had not seen Jennie for more than half a month, and he missed her so much that he was about to go mad. However, he did not want to give in regardless of the cost because of his own dignity. Now, Xia Zhetao had offered him an easy way out.
If possible, he did not want anyone to bring up the issue about his divorce from Jennie that happened in the past. Although he had fallen for the current Jennie and not the previous one, that had still been the poorest decision that he ever made in his life.
At that time, if only he could have distinguished the difference between the two. He would not have needed to take so many detours in trying to make amends now.
Moreover, Lisa was also tempted by Xia Zhetao's proposal. What bothered him the most was how he could make Jennie agree to give birth to another child with him, as well as those... love rivals who had been eyeing Jennie like hungry wolves!
If he went to the banquet with Jennie and left with her, it was equivalent to a declaration of his ownership over her in front of everyone. This would also serve as a warning to her admirers that Jennie was his. No one could take her away from him.
After hesitating for a brief moment, Lisa abruptly rose up and dropped him a line. "I'm heading back first. Handle the rest of the matter."
After that, he ignored Xia Zhetao's reaction and rushed home in a flash to give a call to Jennie.
Xia Zhetao looked in the direction where Lisa had left for some time before he returned to his senses. Lisa still had a lot of things undone, and he had actually left them all to him!
"Eh, President, don't go away first! Don't go away! There are still some documents that require your signature! Come back—!"
Unfortunately, at that time, Lisa had long disappeared. He did not hear Xia Zhetao's passionate cries.
Jennie was caught by surprise after hearing from Uncle Kim that someone on the phone was looking for her, and that the person had addressed himself as the president of Manoban Group. This was Lisa's first time calling her.
Jennie answered the call. She greeted him with uncertainty, "Lisa?"
The person on the other end of the line remained silent for a long time. It was so long that Jennie thought the person on the other end was no longer there anymore. When she was about to hang up, she heard a familiar voice coming from the phone.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to your house and take you and Leo to Rosé's place with me."
After Lisa finished speaking, he did not wait for Jennie to respond and immediately hung up on her. He did not even give her a chance to refuse him.
Jennie held the phone in dumbfounded shock and stood in place.
Just then, Min-a walked over to her. When Min-a saw her in her current state, she thought something had happened. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Jennie's face looked slightly... stiff. "Lisa said he's going to fetch me to attend the banquet together tomorrow.."
