Hearing her say that they looked like a perfect couple, Taehyung's heart warmed up. However, deep down he understood, according to her current status in the industry, Jennie still had a long way to go before she was on the same level as him. Even top superstars found, the closest they could get to Taehyung was a simple tinkering of wine glasses; everyone in the industry knew, he did not like people that rode on other's coattails.

As for announcing their marriage, he could do it anytime, but he had promised Jennie he would give her time to prove herself; he would wait until the day they were on the same level. He gently stroked Jennie's hair; the palm of his hands emitted a sense of encouragement. He believed Jennie had the ability to climb to the top, so he didn't want her to spend the rest of her life merely being a pretty face by his side.

"I forgot to tell you, TQ magazine's front cover has been finalized."

Jennie looked up sweetly and teased, "The people from TQ must have no idea they were chatting to the infamous President Kim."

"I also had a rare experience of the joys of being a small assistant. Most importantly, I have invited the editor of TQ to escort you down the red carpet and protect you."

Escort and protect...

After hearing this, Jennie turned around and wrapped her arm around Taehyung's neck. Her eyes contained a touch of warmth, "You've given me so much, what can I do for you in return? Everything I have, you have...and everything I don't have, you already have the ability to obtain."

Taehyung gently returned her embrace and answered her in a simple manner, "All I need is you..."

Jennie buried her head into Taehyung's shoulder as tears flowed from her eyes. Taehyung helplessly patted her back; he realized the woman in his embrace was so easily touched and satisfied.

...

The next day, Jennie met up with the photographer sent from the US by Mina and started work on the front cover of Secret's October Issue. Afterwards, all she had left to do with ISN was a stage event. Whereas, TQ's front cover, was to be shot after the Bright Night Gala.

Regarding the Bright Night Gala, Tianyi handled it with a low-profile. After all, there were so many big shots and superstars attending, they had to remain modest; unlike last time when Kang Seulgi shamelessly compared herself to someone famous. Above all, they didn't want Jennie to pick up on any clues. So this time around, they decided not to speak about it openly...

"If it wasn't because you broke up with Jennie, according to her current fame and popularity, it wouldn't be hard to make her into an international supermodel. As a result, Tianyi would also go up in value. However, look what happened now," Byun Risa looked at the comments about Jennie online. Fans were contacting Tianyi through all different methods, asking them about Jennie's current state; Byun Risa honestly felt it was a waste.

Worst of all, Jennie was always up against Tianyi...

...and always seemed to get in the way.

"Jie, I have a plan. After the awards ceremony, Seulgi will be going overseas to study. When that time comes, I'm not sure how long Jennie will stick around. So, I want to train a newcomer. Let's look for someone that resembles Jennie and we will utilize her fame to debut our newcomer. After all, Jennie is already 26 years old, whereas the newcomer we find will have unlimited possibilities..."

Byun Risa looked at Baekhyun; she suddenly realized her younger brother still had some use. At least at this important moment, he managed to suggest something useful.

"In that case, I'll instruct my staff to prepare a newcomer," Byun Risa responded. "Since Jennie is still one of our models, we should make use of her."

"Definitely..."

"Tomorrow will be the Bright Night Gala, hopefully, nothing goes wrong. According to Jennie's current status, if she was to appear at the event, she will definitely gain even more fans. That will definitely be unfavorable for us," Byun Risa's eyes looked full of schemes. "Jennie, is indeed hard to control."

Baekhyun didn't know how to respond. But, to be exact, the thing he really didn't know, was the true Jennie.

After all, in the past few years, to him, Jennie appeared to be like a sheep that allowed others to tell her what to do. On top of that, everything she did, revolved around him. But, he noticed...ever since the relationship between him and Kang Seulgi was revealed... Jennie was no longer the same Jennie.

"Jie, I'm still not sure. I need to ask Nayeon about Jennie's schedule tomorrow night and make sure she won't make an appearance at the Bright Night Gala."

Baekhyun couldn't stop thinking about the words Jennie had said the previous day...words that seemed to have a hidden meaning...

He wasn't certain if Jennie knew they had torn her invitation.

"Ring her then," Byun Risa nodded.

Baekhyun pulled out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't dialed for a long time, it was Nayeon's number, "What does Jennie have planned for tomorrow night?"

"She will be shooting Secret's October front cover," Nayeon responded calmly. "As she needs to shoot a night scene, the shoot will take place at 8pm. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Take good care of her in case she is affected by not being invited to the Bright Night Gala."

Hearing these words through the phone, Nayeon felt disgusted. It was obvious he wanted to know Jennie's whereabouts tomorrow night, yet he pretended he cared about her.

So fake...

"What did Baekhyun say?"

At this moment, Jennie was currently applying her makeup in the waiting room as Secret's shoot had already begun. As Mina was aware of Jennie's situation, she instructed her team to cooperate accordingly and make sure to help Jennie.

"He's asking what you are doing tomorrow night," Nayeon put away her phone and smiled. "Jennie, from what I see, the jerks are extremely cautious of you...ha ha...so, they would never imagine, you won't be simply attending tomorrow night, you'll even be attending with TQ's editor."

Everyone knew, although TQ wasn't a best-selling magazine, it was still a high-end magazine. As for the founder, Lin Weisen, he was born into a finance family; he had a rich financial background. So, he didn't rely on the magazine to make money, he was in the entertainment industry simply because he enjoyed it.

"Jennie, tomorrow night, you will definitely grab everyone's attention."

Jennie didn't tell Nayeon, Taehyung was the Bright Night Gala's special guest; she wanted to give Nayeon a surprise. Tomorrow night...she not only wanted to destroy Byun Baekhyun and the other's dreams, she also thought of it as the perfect opportunity for her to gather extra fashion resources.

Meanwhile, at this time, Kang Seulgi was carefully making preparations. She knew the event would determine whether she could make a comeback.

She had already decided, if she managed to secure extra connections and resources after the awards ceremony, then her child...she would abort it. If she was to give birth to Baekhyun's child, it would waste at least 8 months of her life. What would she get out of it?

Love? Compared to fame and fortune, this word was worth nothing...
