Jennie crawled over her husband, yawning as she tucked the blanket to cover her bare chest. She searched their room for her panties, which Lisa had flung off somewhere hours ago. She found it at the foot of the bed, chuckling as she picked it up and put them back on.

Making love to her husband after weeks of abstinence was like experiencing the first spring night once again. Lisa had been gentle with her, although she was deeply aware that he was merely reining his self-control for her sake.

Lisa's hand reached for her, his eyes closed.

"Come back to bed, Jennie. It's still too early." He murmured.

she said, moving to his side to press a kiss on his cheek. "I need to accompany Mama for breakfast. You sleep, though. You were up until late last night, working."

She'd had to come barging into the study to drag him to bed. Of course, Lisa had been reluctant to leave, not until she started stripping in front of him, then he couldn't go to bed fast enough with her.

Jennie's life was almost perfect. Not only did she have a loving husband and a good mother, she also had friends she could rely on when needed. However, she couldn't really ignore this ominous feeling that something was about to happen. She pushed these thoughts away and ran her fingers through her long hair and tied it in a messy bun.

"I'll join you in a minute." She heard Lisa grunted before rolling on his side, revealing his broad back that had scratch marks on it.

Jennie blushed and went straight to their bathroom. After taking a quick shower and dressing up, she went back to their bedroom and found her husband over the phone. He gave her a curt nod, and she decided to head downstairs to see if her mother was up.

She found Lisa already in their dining area, eating her breakfast alone. Her mother's face lit up once she'd seen Jennie and gestured for her daughter to join her.

"You are up early, Jennie. I thought you and Lisa said you're going to take a day off today?" Hye Kyo said.

Jennie sighed and thanked the house helper for serving her breakfast. She waited until they were left alone and were out of everyone's earshot. Since the problem involved Irene, she didn't want anyone to find out about her association to the said actress.

"There's an emergency meeting. The director and the producer of the film Soo Yang and Irene starred in were both upset with Miss Bae's absence for these past weeks. I'm sure they would request to kick Miss Bae out of the project and be replaced by another one."

Hye Kyo lowered her teacup and frowned. Jennie didn't need to explain why Irene was absent during the filming, and it was because of her. Somehow, this made Hye Kyo feel guilty.

"Jennie, do you mind if I come with you? I won't cause you any trouble. I just want to help Miss Bae with this problem."

"But Mama, you don't need to do this."

Jennie understood that her mother was feeling grateful towards Irene, but she didn't think Hye Kyo should mediate for the actress. Not only would she see her birth mother today, but she also expected to see Taehyung's annoying face. Oh, how she couldn't wait to leave the meeting sooner.

"Jennie, I know how you feel towards her, but it won't hurt us to help her this time, after what she'd done for you." Hye Kyo said gently, her hands reaching forward to touch her daughter's hand.

Several reasons rushed through Jennie's mind as she thought that it was a bad idea for her mother to meet the actress. The less encounters she had with Irene, the better. Jennie had no reason to break her part of the deal she made with her birth mother, but seeing Hye Kyo's decisive expression, she could only nod in agreement.
