Martyrdom

Lisa's Pov

Jennie hasn't been answering my calls since she came home. Irritated and not in the mood I sit my ass on my swivel chair and work to distract myself but nothing's happening. It can't help me from checking my phone from time to time. I rested my head on the backrest and massage my temple. Someone knocked on the door. I am not in the mood, I can't understand what I am feeling.

"Come in." I faced my ceiling to floor glass window.

"Miss Manoban, someone wants to see you."

I got attentive and turn to stand.

"Who was it?"

"Miss Park Chae Young."

My eyebrows furrowed.

"Let her in."

As I told her to let Chae in, she immediately barged into my office with her expression she can't hide. She's crying? Her breathing is harsh.

"What?" I asked. I told my secretary to close the door.

"Help me." She's speaking coldly. "You have to help me."

"What can I help you?"

"Jennie's not answering my calls."

"She's not responding to my texts either."

"Lisa, Taehyung already knew about you two."

My hands runs cold.

"He will kill me, he will kill you if he knew."

Jennie's voice rung on my ear.

"She's not answering my calls, I heard she got hospitalized. I don't know where to get her."

"Can you go to their house?"

"Yes of course, but, I'm afraid I can't get in, I've been there."

"You have to try again."

If anything happens to her I can never forgive anybody. I will never forgive myself.

"Lisa, you don't know Tae."

"I'm going to their house."

She stopped me and pulled me back when I was about to head the door.

"Are you deaf? I said you can't. You'll only get her in trouble."

"What do you want me to do then?"

"I have to talk to someone and you have to come with me."

She brought me to a simple house, not so big. There's a car on the yard. I look out the window same as her. She look back at me before she opened the car's door. I followed her out until we reached the front door of the house.

"What are we doing here?"

"This is Jennie's mom's house."

I remember what Jennie told me about her mom.

"What can she do to help her? Chae Young I have a lot of connections I can get her out that house and put her to my side."

"Lisa listen, listen to me, you don't want to trouble Jennie. This will go in public if you barge into their house."

I don't know what to think. I can't think straight. I'm vulnerable at the moment. My hands are shaking. My hands are itching to get Jennie out of his territory now that I know he knew about me and his wife's affair. Chaeng pressed the doorbell for how many times but no one's coming. I looked over the window and found an empty living room. There's no one in the house. But the car is here.
