Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard || Taennie Adaptation

Chapter 36: A Desire to Control Artists

"Although I debuted in France...back in the days when I appeared on the runway, I got to know a lot of European and American supermodels: Hanna, Wendy and others. The editor of the American Royal Magazine was also my mentor for half a month. However, they may not remember me now. Back then no one knew my Chinese name - they knew me as Ruby," Jennie explained calmly.

Hearing Jennie mention the names of famous European and American personalities, Nayeon and Lin Wei blinked their eyes in surprise.

"I know Byun Risa wants to get rid of me as soon as I'm of no use and is using me to boost Kang Seulgi. Especially now that I'm in the US, she thinks I stand no chance."

"Hmmph, shameless!" Nayeon grunted.

"I'm also familiar with the editor of the American Royal Magazine. Would you like to catch up with your mentor?" Taehyung, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly asked.

"Taehyung, I've said it before, I don't want you helping me."

"Just treat it as a private get-together," Taehyung smiled while one side of his perfect face shone charmingly under the sun.

"Hmmm...OK," Jennie nodded. Of course, she would never have expected, this private get-together would end up being the deciding factor in the fight between her and Kang Seulgi.

Taehyung owned his own manor in the US, so there was no need to stay in a hotel. The pure American-style rooms were warm and cozy - more comfortable than any hotel suite. As it was a bit far from the Secret Headquarters, Taehyung had already instructed Suga to find out the schedule for Secret. Suga was well prepared, he even knew what time they would be having dinner. Jennie found this very impressive, while Nayeon and Lin Wei couldn't help but to reflect on themselves.

After having a quick shower, Jennie stood by the window and looked out. At this time, Taehyung approached her wearing a black robe - his black hair was dripping wet with water.

Jennie naturally took the towel out of his hands, stood on her tiptoes and started to dry the beads of water from his hair. Meanwhile, Taehyung stared at her with a serious expression.

"What do you want? You are looking at me with so much focus..."

"I was thinking, since it's daytime, whether I should do something I shouldn't..." Taehyung hooked onto Jennie's chin and gently kissed her on the lips - their tongues danced together. Afterwards, his soft lips slowly made it's way next to her ear as he whispered seductively, "On board the plane, I wanted to keep kissing you..."

Jennie glanced out the window, worried people outside would see them, however, she couldn't resist Taehyung's teasing as she found herself losing control of her body. She was weak in his arms.

Their robes somehow found it's way onto the floor as they faced each other in their most vulnerable state. Losing control, they quickly found themselves on the soft bed.

Because the lighting was bright, Jennie could clearly see Taehyung's figure - it was comparable to a Western model. His body was not thin and weak like a typical Asian man, his body was firm and built with perfectly sculpted muscles. His skin glowed a healthy bronze - seeing his body drove Jennie crazy...

Taehyung was pleased to see her scanning his body - he too was impressed by hers.

Jennie's body met international model standards; perfectly proportioned at 178cm tall, with measurements that were just right and a beautiful pair of pale long slender legs, it was hard to resist temptation around her.

The two figures were like a pair of perfect bodies coming together; this was a gift from heaven and meant to be.

Taehyung laughed, "If we keep our figures like this for the rest of our lives, our chances of divorce would be zero."

Jennie also responded with a laugh. She gently lifted her left hand and brushed Taehyung's right ear, "I love this mole of yours the most, it's like you were born with an earring."

Taehyung could no longer hold back his burning passion as he leaned over and pressed his lips against Jennie's. His warm palms also could not be controlled...

Jennie released a quiet moan of pleasure as she reciprocated by passionately kissing Taehyung's ear.

The two continued affectionately. When they finally got tired, they embraced each other and fell asleep. After they woke up, they leaned against each other and whispered sweet words before affectionately doing what they wanted to do. Of course, as usual, they did not complete the last step of their intimacy, but Jennie still wished life like this would stand still - it was too perfect!

...

Meanwhile, Byun Risa was having dinner at the hotel with Baekhyun and Seulgi. Seeing Kang Seulgi acting cautious, she quickly said, "You shouldn't be so afraid of me."

"Risa Jie..."

"I am indeed not satisfied with you, but regardless, you are my brother's decision. Since we will become a family soon, I will definitely be on your side." Byun Risa cut the steak in front of her and placed a piece in her mouth. She then glanced gently at Kang Seulgi, "I know you and Jennie are like water and fire and Jennie is quite arrogant at the moment. Originally, because of what happened between you, I felt we owed her, but after the things she did recently, I feel like she is not worth the pity."

"The meeting with Secret will be at 8am tomorrow, but I have already told my assistant to tell her it is at 9am. Secret's editor hates people that are late, so...it's likely Jennie will be replaced tomorrow."

"But...wasn't the plan to have us attend the shoot together?" Seulgi didn't understand Byun Risa's actions.

"I only said you were shooting together to create a topic of discussion and take the focus off your scandal. Now that we are in the US, it's not like she is the only Asian model around. When the time comes, we can easily find another model to work with you," Byun Risa explained.

"Jennie's not going to give up..."

"This is the magazine's decision and has nothing to do with Tianyi. Once the shoot is over, your value will multiply. Whereas Jennie's career will suffer after people back at home find out about the cold reception she received here in the US. This ought to teach her a lesson."

Jennie had said it before, Byun Risa was the type of person that enjoyed controlling her artists. So the look Jennie had when she landed, was enough to ignite Byun Risa's hatred. As if she wasn't going to find ways to make her suffer.

Kang Seulgi looked at the two people backing her and felt like she was about to become a superstar. How could Jennie, who had nothing, compete with her?

Indeed, Lin Wei ended up being notified of the 9am meeting time by Byun Risa, but, Byun Risa had no idea, Taehyung already had a precise schedule in his hands. So when Jennie saw there was a difference in the time, she could already guess what was going on.

"Jennie, it's obvious Tianyi wants to get rid of you, what should we do?"

"Since Byun Risa wants me to be late, I'll be early instead..." Jennie replied, "But, both of you better be mentally prepared; I may be replaced."

"I've been prepared a long time ago," Lin Wei responded, "At the same time, I have also prepared a way for you to get it back..."
