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

87

Finally, the time of the event arrived. By the time Jennie stepped into the hall, half the guests were already mingling inside.

Most of the guests had met before or, at least, knew of each other, but when Jennie walked in, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

She was stunning in her silver ball gown, a dress that obviously cost a lot, and next to her stood Solar Kim, the famous secretary of Kim Jihoon, Chairman of KIM Corporation.

"Who is that?"

"I've never seen her before."

"Why is she with Solar Kim? Where's Chairman Kim?" The guests all whispered amongst themselves as they looked at the beautiful woman. They were all fascinated by her, especially the men. The wives in the hall quickly grabbed onto their husbands.

At that moment, the heir of the construction empire, Meng Corps, approached the two women and handed them each a glass of champagne.

"It's nice to see you again, Secretary Kim. Where's Chairman Kim today?" the man asked as he stole a glance at Jennie.

"Chairman Kim couldn't make it today, but he sent Director Kim in his stead," Solar replied.

"Director Kim?"

People nearby overheard this conversation and word quickly spread around the hall. The woman next to Solar Kim was Director Kim!

"It's a pleasure to meet you," the man said as he placed a polite kiss on Jennie's hand.

So...she was the infamous Director Kim. The mysterious eldest daughter of Kim Jihoon, Chairman of KIM Corporation. Everyone had heard about her, but no one had seen her for almost a decade. There were even rumors that she never appeared in public because she was extremely ugly, but it appeared, those rumors were all wrong.

At that moment, a tall, handsome man approached Jennie with interest, "Miss Jennie, it's been a long time."

Jennie turned and looked at the man with confusion, "Do I know you?"

The man's lips curved slightly into a smile, "We met when we were kids, my father owns the Golden Dream Casino in Incheon. Your father and my father are good friends."

"Oh OK, sorry I don't remember you at all. That was a long time ago," Jennie replied.

"That's OK, my name is Bambam Manoban, it's nice to meet you again."

The man stuck out his hand and Jennie quickly shook it. He then turned to the man beside him, "This is my assistant, Thomas Sun."

Solar immediately eyed the assistant up and down. "Young Master Manoban, when did you get a new assistant?" she asked.

Jennie heard what Solar said and looked at the assistant with suspicion. This was exactly the kind of person she was looking for.

"I hired him a couple of weeks ago," Bambam replied as he swirled the glass of red wine in his hand.

Bambam ran a casino and Jennie suspected his assistant of being a junket. Was it really such a coincidence?

At this moment, a familiar voice said beside Jennie's ear, "Miss, would you like some hors d'oeuvres?"

Jennie turned towards the voice and her gaze fell upon a familiar pair of eyes. Moonbyul was dressed in a waiter's uniform holding onto a tray of appetizers. He had arrived an hour before her and had already begun to probe the staff, but he was yet to find anything suspicious. Jennie gave him a gentle smile and grabbed one of the fancy little appetizers.

She then stuffed the entire morsel straight into her mouth in a not-so-lady-like way.

Bambam watched with amus.e.m.e.nt. This woman was a little different to the usual proper socialite ladies and it fascinated him.

But, while Bambam was scanning his eyes across Jennie, Moonbyul had his eyes glued on Bambam. He understood the look in the man's eyes and it made him a little uncomfortable. Jennie was beautiful today and he couldn't imagine that any man could resist.

However, the thing that annoyed him the most, was the fact that Jennie actually engaged in a conversation with the man and seemed genuinely interested.

"I've never been to Incheon before," Jennie said, deliberately showing that she was interested. "I wonder what a casino is like."

"You've never gambled before?" Bambam asked.

Jennie shook her head and Bambam nodded with a smirk, "I think you'll like it," he said.

He wasn't completely surprised that Jennie had never gambled before, since gambling was illegal in the mainland, but most rich people had at least visited a casino once in their life, right?
