After eating, Lisa went to the couch and took a nap. I just let her since she's also quite tired from school, and just set an alarm for her to wake up later and not be late for next class.

As I was in the middle of reading some documents, my assistant came knocking and let her in. She just told me about my schedule for today and my meetings.

"I have a dinner meeting later?" I asked my secretary. I don't remember setting this meeting.

"Yes. It's a new investor, Mrs. Manoban". She answered.

"Should it be really at dinner?" I really don't wanna go.

"Yes, it's a big investor. He personally called earlier to discuss this."

"Okay. What time is the dinner?"

"7:30" I nodded at her answer and after a few more talks she went back to her desk.

This is gonna be a long day. I sigh to myself and looked at the direction where Lisa is sleeping. She's still sleeping. I sigh again and continued to work.

An hour later the alarm I set up finally rang and Lisa wokes up. She looks like a kid who just woke up from a nap. She went over to my side and stood there like some weirdo.

"Hon?" She called. I hummed in response and still focused on what I was doing.

"Jennie, look at me" She called again but sternly. She rarely calls me by my name when we're alone. I then divert my attention to her, and she looks like she's about to cry.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly and let her bent down. Practically kneeling in front of me, and wiped her tears. "Why are you crying? Did something happened?" She shook her head and just hugged me.

"Don't leave me, please" She begged. Did she had a bad dream? Such a big baby.

"Hey, who says I'm leaving you? I would never do that to you, Lisa" I comforted her. She's still crying but I think she's getting calmer.

"You promise?" She asked and finally looked at me. I smiled and held her pinky for a pinky promise. "I promise"

She smiled and hugged me again. After a minute, when she finally looks like decent person after fixing herself. She finally left and went back to the university.




"Mrs. Manoban? It's time for your dinner meeting" My assistant said through the intercom. I sigh and started fixing my things.

As I was about to go out my office, I received a call from Lisa.

"Yes hon?" I answered.

"What time are you going home?" She asked. I looked at my watch and it's already 6pm.

"Probably around 8pm? I'm not yet sure"

"Okay. Do you still have any meetings left?"

"Yeah. I have a dinner meeting to attend to, it's a big investor so I can't skip this one. I'm sorry" I said apologetically.

"Hey, it's okay. We can have dinner another time. I'm on my way to your building right now, let me drop you off. So, at least I know you're safe and know where to pick you up" She said assuring me. God, she knows how to use her words.

"Okay, and please don't use your phone while driving." She laughed and said okay and then ended the call after.

"Mrs. Manoban? Are you ready?" My assistant said knocking. I nodded even though she can't see me. I went out my office and saw my assistant getting ready to leave with me also. I asked her to come with me.

"Should I ready the car?" She asked once again.

"No. Lisa will be picking us up and drop us off the restaurant" I answered as we went our way to the elevator.

As we arrived at the lobby, Lisa's car pulled up just in time. She went out of the car and walked towards me with a smile, which made me smile also.

"Hi baby" She greeted and hugged me. I hugged her back and mumbled a small 'hello'

"Let me take that" She said pulling away and taking the stuff I was holding.

"You don't have to" I said as I handed it to her. She shake her head and smile. So stubborn.

After taking my things, she final noticed my assistant standing and watching us awkwardly. She laughed and waved at her, which by the way made her blushed.

"Hi! Sorry I didn't notice you standing there" Lisa said and put out her hand for handshake. My assistant then took it quickly and shook it.

"It's okay Mrs. Manoban" My assistant replied.

"Here, let me take that also" Lisa said and also took the the files my assistant was holding. It's normal for me to see Lisa being kind to other people. She was raised in a loving home after all.

"Let's go?" She asked and took my hand, as she lead us to her car. Even though she's carrying a lot of things, she still tried to open the car door for me and my assistant.

It was a quiet yet quick drive to the restaurant. After we arrived she quickly parked and came with us inside. Her reason is she wanna make sure the investor we're meeting is not a creepy old fat old man.

"You really don't need to come with us, you know?" I said assuring her.

"I just wanna make sure you're comfortable, okay? So, please let me" She answered and smiled at us.

As the receptionist lead us to a private area, we can see the figure of the supposed investor.

"Ah, Jennie!" He suddenly greeted. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Hi, Mr...?" I trailed off waiting for his answer. "Zico" He answered and put out his hand for a handshake. I accepted it hut quickly let go.

"Didn't know you had this many secretary?" He joked.

"She's my only secretary" I said pointing at my assistant. "And she's my-" I didn't get to finish when Lisa cut me off.

"Her friend. Hi, I'm Lisa" Lisa said coldly. Zico just smiled at her and looked at me. "Shall we?" He asked and sat down.

"I'll get going. Call me when you're done, okay?" She whispered and and I just nodded and smiled at her. She sneakily kissed me quickly on my cheek then left. She's the death of me.

Lisa POV

As I leave the restaurant, there's a weird gut feeling about that Zico guy. I quickly dialed Jackson's number.

"Yo? What's up" He answered after a few rings.

"Hey, sorry if I called suddenly" I said apologizing.

"It's okay, I wasn't doing anything anyways"

"Prefect! Can you searched up an investor called Zico? Check his background's, his past, his business, etc." I said seriously.

"Sure, but what for?" He asked

"Jennie's having a meeting with him. And something feels off about him" I said honestly.

"Okay, I'll look him up. I'll call you back if I find anything" He said and just nodded even though he can't see me.

"Thanks, bro. I'm on my way to Jisoo's, talk to later" I said then ended the call after.
