Mr Manoban's Daring Wife 2 [Jenlisa]

Chapter 269: I'm Not An Intern

Jennie made her way towards RJ at exactly 1 PM the next day. She was dressed for success with her white blouse, black blazer, and pencil skirt. With her charisma and her ability to easily command a crowd, she was the perfect definition of a businesswoman. Strolling into RJ without a care in the world, Jennie scanned her private key card.

Kim Hanbin was already waiting for her upstairs. And unknowingly, so was Kai, who was engrossed with Krystal in the private meeting room.

Jennie made her way to Kim Hanbin's office which she surprisingly found empty. Luckily, Kim Mingyu was present and waiting for her. "The meeting was pushed forward by thirty minutes because President Kim arrived earlier than expected."

"Should we head there now?" He asked her.

"No, we will make them wait." Jennie said while taking a seat on the couch. "Just because they came early does not mean we will oblige their request. There could've been other meetings going on before their arrival."

Kim Mingyu hid his agreeing smile. "Yes, ma'am." He told her, sitting back down before his desk to finish printing copies of the proposal.

"Where is that idiotic Vice President of mine?" Jennie asked while grabbing the nearest magazine.

Kim Mingyu already knew Kim Hanbin was screwed the minute he became Kai's lapdog in this entire ordeal. The man could not go against his father and that very reason would soon be the reason for his downfall. "He's...already in the meeting room."

Jennie paused for the briefest second, then went back to flipping the magazine pages. 'Oh look, a new Birkin design came out this season.'

"He went in there without his CEO?" If Jennie was bothered by this news, she didn't show it on her face. She remained calm and collected whilst her eyes were engrossed in the magazine. SMF released a new line of dresses? Dang, her Somi worked very quickly.

Kim Mingyu truly admired how she was able to keep her anger in check, even when the news of the meeting was announced the day before. It was unfavorable to mix personal life with work life. She was maintaining the balance very well, too well, might he add.

"Yes, to pacify them in case you arrived at exactly 2 PM."

"Hm, well, call him back and tell him his boss is here. Also, tell him to grab me a cup of coffee." Jennie decided to assign him the job of a private assistant since he liked to bootlick so much.

"A coffee...? As your secretary, I believe I can grab one for you." Kim Mingyu said while pressing the button that leads to Kim Hanbin's personal phone.

"No, leave it to the Vice President who kindly went behind my back." Jennie's sickeningly sweet smile sent shivers down Kim Mingyu's back. He remembered seeing Kwon Jae Wook on a magazine cover once, and even though it was only a picture, he was deeply intimidated by the man's gaze. It seemed this young lady took after her grandfather exceptionally well.

"Oh, and tell him if I don't get my coffee within five minutes, he's fired." She briskly said, her smile deepening. It was enough to freeze Kim Mingyu's blood.

She wasn't petty? He decided to never get on her bad side...

"Y-yes, ma'am..." Kim Mingyu trailed off while he phoned Kim Hanbin. The man did not pick up. He gulped and without waiting for Jennie to give him the command, he scurried off to the meeting room to tell him the news in person.

Jennie watched him disappear down the hallway. She clicked her tongue before going back to the magazine.

Kai was browsing through the presentation slides, checking for any errors before it started. He checked the time and saw that it was already 1:30 PM. 'Where was the CEO? What was taking him so damn long? The great Kai has arrived. They should be honored he even came this early, especially for a low-tier company like RJ. How unprofessional. Didn't the Vice President say they would adjust the meeting time?'

Kang Han-Na was impatiently tapping her foot in the corner of the room when she spoke up, "Mr. Kim, where is your CEO? This is Kai we're talking about. Our time here is very precious."

"We arrived early so that you guys do not have to wait until 2 PM just to see our CEO. The fact that your CEO is even ten seconds late is unacceptable." She added on, glaring daggers at Kim Hanbin.

Kim Hanbin strained his pleasant smile. "I apologize, our CEO did not get the notification that you have arrived until five minutes ago..." He lied.

He was in all honesty too fearful to tell Jennie that Kai had arrived in the office already. It was a miracle that she accepted this meeting without throwing a fight. If he told her to come earlier than planned, he was sure she would have a fit.

"Well, tell them to hurry up." Kang Han-Na coldly sniped. "President Kim does not have all day here." She snarled.

Kim Hanbin nodded his head and pretended to type on his phone.

Kai raised his head and turned it to Kim Hanbin. "I'm parched. Get me a cup of coffee."

"R-right away." Kim Hanbin muttered under his breath, running out of the room to get the man his damn cup of coffee. If it wasn't for the fact that the Kims were great friends with Kim Hanbin's father, he would not have become an errand boy.

He came back in less than three minutes with a fresh cup of coffee in his hands. He respectfully handed it to Kai with two hands. The CEO did not drink or touch the coffee.

Kai was midway into reading the last page when he received a notification. He paused what he was doing and checked his phone, his eyes widening a bit. One billion was withdrawn from his account, by the authorized user known as Krystal.

His eyes flew to his lover across the room, whose lips were still bruised after his punishing kiss. She was pitifully staring at the floor with her eyes and head down. His heart ached upon seeing her state and he decided not to question her about the enormous sum of money until tonight...when they were all alone and she could not run from him.

Kim Hanbin sat down in a chair when Kim Mingyu walked in, a bit out of breath. In order to not embarrass him, Kim Mingyu quietly said, "The President asked you to get a cup of coffee. It has to be delivered within five minutes. If not, you're fired. Currently, three minutes have passed."

Kim Hanbin's head snapped up. "Why can't you get the coffee? Aren't you the secretary? What am I? An errand boy?" He hissed back, his voice loud enough for the people in the meeting room to hear everything.

Kim Mingyu opened his mouth but closed it when he smelled something in the air. His eyes landed on the coffee beside Kai. He instantly recognized the cup as one of the ones from the break room. Unless someone worked here, they would not be able to know where the employee's break room was.

Kang Han-Na could not locate the break room. This was her first time coming here. Who could've gotten that new cup of coffee? His eyes shifted back to Kim Hanbin.

"Mr. Kim, the clock is ticking. You have one and a half minutes from now. Please don't make this hard on yourself. The President is furious that you changed the meeting time without warning or a text." Kim Mingyu kept his voice respectfully low. No one was able to hear his words except for the Vice President.

Kim Hanbin scowled. "I'm not an intern. I'm the Vice President of this company. Why should I get another cup of coffee?"

Another cup? Kim Mingyu's eyes narrowed. He was willing to get Kai a cup of coffee, but not their own President?!

"Very well, I will inform the President." Kim Mingyu straightened out his suit from having to bend down to reach Kim Hanbin's seated body.

"Tell the President to not be so petty...I thought we were friends?" Kim Hanbin was clearly referring to Jennie but Kim Mingyu misunderstood him.

"We're merely acquaintances." Kim Mingyu breezily said and walked out of the room, no longer pitying Kim Hanbin. Instead, he felt a burning rage. How could this man not sense the dire situation here?

Kim Mingyu had heard rumors of Kwon Jae Wook's infamous dog-eat-dog mentality in his company. Being one of the big five, they had so many people applying to their company, it was easy to dispose of someone if they made frequent mistakes.

He wondered if Jennie would be like that, or perhaps harsher... He would find out very soon.
