[2] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 248

She pushed heavily against his chest but was unable to push him away. The anger drove her to speak coldly: "Lisa, three years ago, you already put me through sufficient torment. Now that everything has ended, please let go of me. Let's just part without any hard feelings. Don't make me wonder if you've fallen for some sort of cat and mouse game! Right now, I only wish to stay far away from you! As far as possible!"

Jennie attempted to back away as she spoke when a ringtone suddenly rang from her bag. She abruptly raised her cold eyes toward him. When the man paused slightly upon hearing her phone, she took the opportunity to push him away. She urgently backed away and brought out her phone from her bag. She saw that Song Kang's number was displayed on the screen; in the past half a month, she did not receive any calls from him, nor did she hear any news about him.

In the past, even when they had no time to meet, Song Kang would frequently call to make small talk. However, in the past half a month, there was no contact from him.

Jennie only hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Hello, Song Kang," Jennie slowed her hurried breaths from the earlier struggle.

Lisa watched as she did her best to regain her composure. When he heard her gentle tone as she addressed, 'Song Kang,' his expression turned slightly heavy.

Song Kang asked on the phone: "You're back? You were in Canada for so long. Is everything all right?"

"Everything's fine. It's just some work that I couldn't run away from. I came back two days ago." Jennie's breathing had relaxed, and her voice was much gentler and patient than before.

It was extremely quiet in the car, quiet to the point where the man's voice could be clearly heard.

Song Kang gently chuckled. "That's good. I've been abroad for the past few days, and I likely won't be able to return anytime soon. If you need to contact BGY Group, you can look for the vice-general manager. If there are any difficulties, give me a call. I'll try my best to help you."

"Why did you suddenly leave? Previously, didn't you say you would be staying in the country for a period? Isn't BGY Group about to give you a promo..."

"The position has been shifted. The promotion won't be affected, but I'll most likely be assigned to a different branch company. It might take a while before I can return to Seoul," Song Kang's voice did not reveal any emotions, but Jennie strangely felt that something was bothering him.

But this was a matter related to work; she had no right to overstep and ask.

Typically, she would wish him all the best and leave it at that. However, when she raised her head to meet Lisa's eyes, she pursed her lips. She wasn't sure what emotional state she was in, or if she had really been angered into becoming a different person. She subconsciously said: "I hope everything goes well for you out there. Come back soon and take good care of yourself, don't make me worry."

Lisa heard her gentle and sweet tone. He narrowed his distant eyes and did not speak.

However, Song Kang found something strange in Jennie's change in tone. Although he was moved by her rare concern, he still instinctively asked: "Right now... who are you with?"

Before Jennie could answer, Lisa abruptly took the phone from her. She raised her head to glare at him but found that the man was already speaking on the phone. He indifferently and coldly spat out the word: "Me."

Without waiting for the other party's reply, he directly hung up the call and tossed the phone onto the seat by her side.

Jennie forcefully swallowed the verbal abuse that was about to escape. She gritted her teeth and held herself back from scolding him. She picked up her phone and stuffed it into her bag in anger. When she turned to notice that the car was parked next to an intersection, she immediately reached out to open the door, only to discover that it had been locked.
