HELP! My Wife is a SPY [JENLISA X CHAESOO X MOONSUN X MINYEON]

86

Moonbyul and Jennie remained awkwardly silent throughout the rest of the flight, but Moonbyul did notice that Jennie had set her alarm to go off every half an hour.

The odd thing was, she simply switched it off each time. What was the alarm for? It wasn't for medicine nor was it a reminder to do something in particular. Was she just a nervous flyer and needed a reminder as to how much longer until landing?

That was the only explanation Moonbyul could think of, even though Jennie did not look nervous about flying at all. If anything, she looked more nervous around him...

Soon, the plane landed right on time in Busan International airport. As soon as they cleared immigration and grabbed their luggage, Jennie and Moonbyul walked out into the arrivals hall.

"We are staying in a hotel in Mongkok," Moonbyul explained as he began to lead Jennie to a taxi.

But, at that time, a woman suddenly approached Jennie and squealed, "Ruby Jane (Jennie's English name), over here."

Jennie's face lit up for the first time that day. "Solar, it's so nice to see you," she cheered as she hugged a tall skinny woman happily. The woman hugged her back and gave her a cheeky pinch on the bum. "You're looking hot, babe."

Moonbyul immediately glanced at the woman. Who was she? Why was she here and why did she call Jennie by her English name?

"Moonbyul, Solar is my father's secretary and a good friend of mine," Jennie introduced.

"What are you doing here?" Jennie asked Solar, pretending to be surprised.

"Your father told me to pick you up from the airport. He's already arranged a car, a dress, and accommodation for you," Solar replied with slight confusion. Didn't Jennie already know this? After all, she was the one that called her father for help.

"Oh, what a surprise!" Jennie exclaimed with her best acting.

She then looked at Moonbyul awkwardly and walked over to him. In a quiet voice, she explained, "My father doesn't know I'm undercover, so I have no choice but to go with his arrangements. I guess we'll be living separately this week. If there's nothing else to brief me on, I'll just see you at the viewing event tonight."

Moonbyul had already explained everything the previous day, so there was nothing he could say to hold the woman back.

Seeing that the man had no response, Jennie quickly grabbed Solar and pulled her away before she said anything that would expose her act. "Who was that guy?" Solar whispered. "And weren't you the one that asked for your father's help? Why did you look so surprised to see me?"

"He's an old friend that I ran into on the plane. He was a bit clingy, so I wanted to get away as soon as possible," Jennie laughed. "And I was surprised because I didn't expect my father to send you. Don't you have work to do?"

Solar wrapped her arm around Jennie's shoulder, "The Chairman didn't feel comfortable with sending a man. After all, we'll be staying together this week."

"You're here for the entire week?" Jennie asked in surprise.

"Hey, it's not often that you ask for help. Your father wanted to make sure that you had the best possible time in Busan. I have his credit card in my hand, just tell me what you want, and it's yours," Solar winked.

...

That night, Jennie changed into a beautiful silver ball gown that her father prepared for her. Her hair was tied into an elegant bun and Solar had helped her apply some light makeup. The last time she got so dressed up, she was still a child. As she looked in the mirror, she was surprised by her own appearance; she looked like a totally different person.

The viewing event was held inside one of the conference rooms of The Peninsula Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in Busan.

Outside the hotel was a red carpet surrounded by reporters.

Jennie looked out the window of her suite and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was actually staying inside The Peninsula or the media would have definitely captured photos of her. Sure, this was her real identity, but she was still an undercover detective; the more low key she remained, the better.

While Solar was getting changed, Jennie quickly clipped a voice recording bug to her dress. It was actually a good thing that Solar was around. She was a very social person and probably knew most of the people at the event since she was always around Jennie's father. With her around, it would be easier to pick out the junkets.

Since the event was invite-only, the junkets were likely members of staff or someone that was accompanying a guest, like a secretary or an assistant. So, Jennie's focus was on these accompanying guests, while Moonbyul was sneaking in as a member of the staff and getting information from them.

Although Moonbyul was still her handler, he was actually going out on the field this time.
