The general manager's office was spacious, and the air conditioning was set to the lowest temperature. Whenever Lisa entered this room, she would feel like she had just entered a freezer room. Now that Jennie was absent from the room, she could finally look around without fear.

The color of the solid wooden desk was dull, the large bookcase was of a similar color, and dark leather wrapped the sofa set in the lounge area... The color of almost every furniture in the room was of a dreary tone.

In reality, Kim Mingkun was the one who oversaw the refurbishment of this room. However, Jennie didn't have much opinion over the furniture. The only change she made was replacing the previous office chair with an oversized, red office chair with a comfortable backrest.

Lisa dared not let her hands wander. After obediently taking a seat on one of the sofas, she pulled out her phone and messaged Rosé while Jennie was still away from the office.

Lisa: "I'm alone in my boss's daughter's office right now. It feels so weird."

Rosé: "???"

Lisa: "It's nothing. I'm just a little nervous."

Rosé: "Boring. I thought you were going to tell me something juicy."

Lisa: "[Grin] Are you not taking an afternoon nap?"

Before Lisa could receive a reply from Rosé, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her. After storing her phone away in a panic, she turned around to look who had entered. When she saw it was Jennie, she instinctively stood up from her seat.

Sending Lisa a glance, Jennie said, "It's fine. Sit."

Lisa sat down again. Although she sat in the same relaxed posture, her nerves were no longer as relaxed as before. Seeing Jennie moving closer to her, she asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Mhm." When Jennie passed by the water dispenser, she paused and asked, "Do you want some water?"

"No, no, you can go about your business," Lisa said as she waved her hand in a hurry. She then shrank back her neck in an attempt to reduce her presence as much as possible.

Unfortunately, Lisa was incapable of going invisible, so she could still feel Jennie's gaze landing on herself. To be precise, Jennie's gaze landed on the top of her head.

Lisa grew embarrassed when she noticed where Jennie was looking. However, she dared not recklessly move about, either. So, she deliberately shifted the topic and asked, "Are you planning to rest? I'll make sure I don't make a peep."

Unfortunately, Lisa didn't know that Jennie would typically lie down on the sofa she currently sat on when resting.

After a moment of silence, Jennie said, "No need." She then circled her work desk and opened a drawer, revealing a box of instant coffee. Taking out a stick, she looked at Lisa and asked, "Do you want some coffee?"

"Huh?" It took several seconds for Lisa to process that Jennie's question was directed toward her. Immediately afterward, she shook her head and said, "No, I just had lunch."

Jennie did not insist on the matter. After shaking the powder in the bag, she tore open the package and poured the coffee powder into a clean mug.

When Lisa saw Jennie walking over to the water dispenser, she hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll help you with that."

However, Jennie sent Lisa an indifferent glance and said, "No need. I'm not used to the smell of paint, so just sit down."

Lisa: "..." Fine, so she's disgusted with the smell coming from my body.
