Ex-wife of a Billionaire

Forty-Four

Jennie face palmed herself, shaking her head, of course Jisoo would think like this. “ Even if I’m the boss, I still need to compete for projects. More importantly, I don’t wanna rely too much on you. “

Jisoo give her a side eye, humming disapprovingly. “ You’re my wife. It’s natural for you to rely on me, isn’t it? “

“ What if I’m not anymore one day? “ Jennie face her seriously, making Jisoo looked at her stoically. They both trying to read each other’s mind. “ Our marriage contract says I won’t get anything from you if we divorce. “

“ What I gifted to you, isn’t counted! “ Jisoo countered quickly.

Jennie just shake her head, straightening her body again, avoiding Jisoo’s eyes. “ I don’t wanna break it. “

Jisoo just sighed, leaning her back from the seat. She couldn’t figure what Jennie was thinking, and it frustrates her. “ I wonder many times whether you really love money, or you just really have a problem telling when you were struggling or something, that time when you agreed to marry me? “

Jennie took a deep breath, she needed it to face Jisoo and take that mindset away from her. She doesn’t want any pity or sympathy from anyone.

“ Nonsense. I just wanna make some money in a legal way. “ She smiled innocently at Jisoo, before reaching for her arm to squeeze reassuringly. 

Jisoo looked at her silently, her dark brown eyes were searching any lies within those chocolate one. But before Jisoo could find anything from her, she put her hand on Jisoo’s and lean her head to her shoulder. “ If you feel a little bit guilty about me, Chu ~ You can increase my living expenses. Then my life will be more secured. “

“ Hmm ~ That depends on your future performance. “

“ Humph! Drop it! “

--------------------------------------- 

Since then, Jisoo really increased it. It’s unknown whether that means she really concerned about me. But I have no time to think about it.

Jennie got ready for her next meeting, fixing the papers and designs she needed, Kim Taehyung decided to use her design plan. And she was getting ready for their final rundown for the concert hall.

Jisoo went abroad again, I can further delay meeting with Jongin.

AFTER A WEEK

“ Would you like to have tea with me later? “ Taehyung asked Jennie, as she fixed all the documents back in it’s folder. 

She looked up at Taehyung and smile apologetically, “ Sorry, I can’t make it. “

Taehyung could only smile at her reassuringly, he can understand her reluctance but he can’t give up just yet. He doesn’t want to push her any further but he just couldn’t resist. After all he really likes her. “ It’s okay. But actually, there will be a small charity concert two days from now. “

Taehyung stood up as Jennie has, she was about to leave when he spoke, but as a gentleman that he is, he has that mindset to walk her off.

But now that he got her attention with what was he going to say, he put his both hands at his back and smile hopefully at her. “ Well, I would like to invite you, to be my companion of that night, if it’s okay with you , of course? “

“ Me? “ Jenie asked looking at him slightly shocked. Cause first, why would this fine looking man wanted her company in such an event, surely with his looks and gentleness together with his popularity in music industry, the man won't have any problem to get whoever to be his date, so why her? " You shouldn't- be short of companions- "

" But I'm short of a companion that won't bother me. " Taehyung interrupting and smiled at her hopefully, and she finds him quiet charming with that, and can't help but to tilt her head lightly and looked at him as she smiled.

" Considering we're friends, I shouldn't say no. "

With a toothy smile, the man in front of her looked up at her as he beamed, " Really?? "

" Well, It's my honor, after all. " Jennie chuckled softly, before continuing to walk towards the door.

" Thank you, Jen. Let's talk more about it later. " Taehyung said, smiling appreciatedly at her as they reached the door.

The brunette just smiled sweetly before bidding him goodbye. The young man can only just look at her longingly from afar, sighing deeply. Seems, she doesn't remember at all.

All that happened when we were a little.

Taehyung put his hands both in his pocket. Smiling at himself. Not bad. Knowing each other again, stands for a new start.

Looking straight at the brunette as she hopped in her car, he mumbled in the air. Hi Jenjen ~ Nice to meet you again. After all these years.
