[weeks later]

"Oh? What brings you here Jennie?" Alice asked when she saw the girl at their gate. She just finished jogging and is on her way home.

"Ah good morning, Alice. I'm here to pick up Rosie" she answered.

"Huh? She already left a while ago" Alice answered. "Dad hired her a personal driver. She didn't tell you?" She adds.

"Ah, is that so? It's okay. I didn't know. I'll go now. Thank you, by the way" Jennie said goodbye and immediately got into the car. It's kinda sad because Chaeyoung didn't even tell her about having a driver when it was her who always drive her to work. Maybe Chaeyoung is avoiding her.

"Okay, bye" Alice also said goodbye. She watched Jennie get into the car and waited for her to leave. "Weird" she said before entering the house.

Jennie just drove until she realized that she was near the preschool where Chaeyoung works. She also saw a familiar car parked near the school. The driver is not there, maybe inside the convenience store that is just across from the school. Jennie confirmed that the driver was inside and she knew him, he was the son of Chaeyoung's nanny.

"Eunwoo-yah" she called.

"Oh Miss Jennie!" He immediately stood up when he saw Jennie. He quickly wiped his mouth that had just sipped the soup of the instant ramyeon he bought at the convenience store.

The young man is handsome, tall and muscular. He is also reliable and someone that Jennie could trust.

"Are you Chaeyoung's driver?" Jennie asked.

"Yes, Miss Jennie. It's already my school break so I thought of earning some extra while on vacation. Don't worry Miss Jennie, I'll take care of Miss Chaeyoung" he said smiling at her.

"Alright. I just checked, because she didn't tell me. I'll leave her in your care then. Be careful while driving" Jennie instructed.

"Yes, Miss Jennie" he answered happily.

"Oh, by the way. I have a favor to ask. Could you text me everytime you drive Chaeyoung somewhere? Or when she's already at work or you guys got home safe? Anything, just give me an update about her. Just don't tell her that I know," Jennie asked. She knew it was kind of creepy but, it's been weeks and she can feel that Chaeyoung is really avoiding her.

"Alright, miss Jennie. I'll keep it a secret," said the young man.

"Alright, I'll go first" said Jennie.

"Take care, Miss Jennie" The young man said and looked at her until she got out. He even bowed when she looked back before she got into the car.

She drove into the office. There are new designs coming up and new styles to be presented to her so she is quite busy today. When she arrived at her office, there was a bouquet of flowers on her table. She picked it up and smelled it. She searched for the sender's name but only the initials were there.

"I miss you ˙◠˙ " -C

"C? Chaeyoung?" She asked herself. She would have been thrilled but she thought maybe it's not from Chaeyoung.

"Stupid, impossible. Chaeyoung won't send you flowers" she is against her own idea.

She put the flowers on the coffee table and will just put it in the vase later. Jennie sat on the swivel chair and took care of the papers on her desk, there are a lot of papers that needed her signature, design approvals, endorsements and advertisement proposals. Employees' paychecks also need her signature.

Jennie didn't know how long she had been sitting, she had already read and approved several papers and proposals. She looked at the clock and saw that it was lunch time already, she fixed some papers before getting up to buy lunch at the convenience store at the bottom of their building. When she stood up, someone knocked on her office door.

"Come in" she said.

"Miss Kim? Someone brought your lunch" her secretary said and brought her lunch inside the office.

"From whom?" She asked and looked at the paper bag. Homemade? She suddenly looked at the lunch box.

"It's from your mother, Miss Jennie" said the secretary.

"Ah, OK, thank you. You too, go and have lunch" she said to her secretary. She took her phone and sent a message to her mom with the picture of her holding the paper bag.

Jennie happily ate lunch while reading the remaining papers she had to read before the meeting this afternoon.

[Lobby]

"I already gave it to Miss Jennie. I told her that it was from her mom." The secretary said to the woman waiting in the lobby.

"Ah, okay, thank you. Here, have a snack and treat everyone. See you next time" she handed over the bills and said goodbye. The woman left the building and got into a car.

[phone call]

"Mama, did Jennie call you already?" She asked on the phone.

"No, but she texted and even sent a picture" she replied.

"Ah Alright. Thank you for helping to prepare this morning, Ma. I'm also sorry for the trouble because I disturbed you so early" she told her.

"Are you two fighting? I hope you can fix it soon. Talk about it properly. Okay?" Jennie's mom said.

"Yes ma. I'm sorry" she said, Jennie's mom also said goodbye and ended the call. Later, she received a message from the old woman, a picture of Jennie with a very cute smile. She saved it on her phone and just stare at it.

They didn't fight but lately Chaeyoung has realized the things she used to ignore. That's why she avoided Jennie for a while, also because of that she feels guilty. She misses Jennie too.

"Eunwoo-yah, let's go to the mall" she said to the young driver.

"Aye aye captain" Eun woo said and started to drive to the mall.
