CEO Zhou's face blanched as he stared at Jennie in shock. He sobered up immediately, realizing the situation he was currently in. Words were already forgotten as his mind went blank, realizing the mistake he just committed not only toward her, but also toward Lisa. This was far from what he had in mind when he sought Song Yiran in an effort to get acquainted with him. To think he would offend Lisa's wife in the process, he had really shot his own foot this time.
"Madam Manoban, I…" But he didn't know how to take back the words he already uttered in his drunken state.
"Hmm? So it's Madam Manoban now?" Jennie chuckled amusedly.
She wasn't surprised at all. This man would only give her respect because of the person she was married to and not because she was worth the respect as a person. It displeased Jennie to know that many people would be like CEO Zhou and would only see her as Lisa's wife, nothing else.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run my mouth like that." CEO Zhou broke into a cold sweat under Jennie's scrutiny. He hadn't been able to meet Lisa yet, but there were rumors that he was a businessman that was hard to please.
Jennie didn't want any of that. She would rather people think that she was the head of Bluemedia before acknowledging her as Lisa's wife. She knew that until she succeeded in flourishing her mother's company, she would forever be trapped in her husband's magnificent shadow.
"Oh no, please don't apologize. You are merely stating your opinion about us, women." She watched as the color started to return on his face, before she wickedly smiled in return. "However, that doesn't mean there wouldn't be any consequences."
That immediately rendered the old man speechless as he looked at Jennie in disbelief.
"I would have made my presence scarce if I were you. It's not only my husband who is known to have a short temper when it comes to people like you. There's no need for you to apologize as the Manoban family will have nothing to do with you."
Jennie then rose before gesturing to the four women to follow her outside. The members of the girl group didn't waste time and left at once, with Jennie and Song Yiran following behind them.
"No! Wait, please!"
They heard CEO Zhou's voice behind them, but Jennie didn't want to waste more time than she already had. At least though, the old man was spared from her fists, because if he had been foolish to dare to touch her or any of her talents, she wouldn't be able to stop the urge to beat him into a pulp.
Ho Jung stepped forward, stopping the man from chasing her mistress. Her ever resting bitch face was enough to make anyone think twice before arguing with her. The Manoban emblem pinned on her collar made CEO Zhou swallow the words he was about to say.
"Mr. Zhou, you do realize that my mistress has made up her mind, don't you? And tonight's event has already been reported to Master Manoban. My mistress is already kind enough to leave you unscathed despite your impertinence."
Ho Jung's voice and expression were so cold that the old man and his assistant couldn't stop their knees from shaking.
"He must be really tired of living." Song Yiran muttered next to Jennie once they were out of earshot and while Seulgi was making a phone call to get the members of Full Moon out of the club.
"You should know better than to associate with people like him." Jennie frowned as they walked out of the VIP area. They then moved to the second balcony where they could see the dance floor and the balcony below them that caters most guests of the club.
Her eyes swept around the area, trying to find her other talent but she couldn't spot Suzy anywhere.
"Looking for someone?" Song Yiran asked when he noticed that the woman next to him was distracted. "Did Lisa come with you tonight?"
