Play Along And Win Me Over (JenLisa )

70: [ WORK ]

THIRD PERSON POV

Yesterday, JenLisa's group and Jennie's parents returned to Korea after their enjoyable week-long vacation. However, the Brüschweiler couple and the rest of their friends from Thailand decided to stay a little longer to settle some matters before they gather again for the wedding, which will take place in two weeks.

The news of Jennie Kim's engagement became a hot topic upon their return to Korea. The media was eager to find out who the lucky person was that Jennie got engaged to. Some speculated that it might be the mysterious woman Jennie brought with her to the RJKC event, but none of their assumptions were confirmed.

Now, Jennie, Lisa, and their friends have returned to their respective workplaces to catch up on the work they left behind during their vacation. Since it was a week-long break, they certainly have tasks to attend to.

Jennie entered her company, exuding her usual cold aura, but there was a noticeable difference - her eyes showed no sign of indifference. Mina, as usual, arrived before her boss. There were whispers among the employees about the hot rumor of Jennie's engagement, but Jennie silenced them with a stern look, reminding everyone that this is an office environment where gossip is not allowed.

"Good morning, Ms. Kim," Mina greeted professionally as they returned from their respective jobs. Jennie smiled in response and entered her office, followed by her secretary.

"What's on my schedule, Mina-ssi?" Jennie asked, looking at her secretary from her seat, ready to start her work.

"Well, buckle up, Ms. Kim, because we have a lot to do," Mina said playfully, causing Jennie to giggle. Perhaps spending a week together had made them more comfortable and closer to each other.

"Alright, bring it on," Jennie replied, stretching her arms and fingers in preparation for the demanding tasks ahead.

After Mina provided the day's schedule, Jennie worked tirelessly, skipping her lunch to address the numerous errors she found in her employees' reports. Her day was filled with exhaustion, with papers scattered all over her office. Mina brought her food and coffee whenever she requested, but none of the food was touched, and only five cups of coffee were emptied as she dove into her work.

A knock on the door didn't distract Jennie enough to look up, as she had given the person permission to enter.

"What do you need, Mina-ssi?" Jennie asked calmly, although her voice couldn't conceal her exhaustion.

"Skipping lunch and working late isn't healthy," a gentle yet stern voice was heard, causing Jennie to look up and smile at her fiancé, Lisa. Lisa sighed at the tired look on her lover's face and handed her a refreshing tea that tasted like coffee but was healthier.

"Hi, Lili," Jennie greeted softly, spreading her arms wide to motion for Lisa to come to her. She needed a hug from her, she needed that comfort.

"You're exhausting yourself, hun," Lisa said, embracing her lover gently, expressing her concern. Mina had informed Lisa that Jennie hadn't taken a break since she entered her office due to the overwhelming workload that piled up that morning.

"I'm fine. Have you had your lunch?" Jennie asked, trying to redirect the conversation, making Lisa part from the hug and look at her fiancé.

"You're skipping meals, aren't you?" Lisa raised an eyebrow inquiringly.

"Of course not. What time is it anyway?" Jennie replied, avoiding eye contact.
