The Witch CEO is NOT a Demoness[Jenlisa]

(19) White Lie

When Jennie arrived home, she saw Lisa sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

She walked towards him and sat beside him. She asked, "Have you eaten something already?"

"Mmm." He went closer and hugged her while watching TV.

"Did you go out today?" She asked while hugging him back.

"Me? No. I'm just here since morning. I never went outside. Why?"

"Nothing."

Jennie does not know when to start or what to say.

Lisa, noticing Jennie's abnormal actions suddenly felt nervous. In order to hide his uneasiness, he grabbed Jennie and let her sit on his lap.

"Is something wrong?" He held her closer and touched her cheeks.

"Do you have something that you're not telling me?" Jennie asked while looking at Lisa's eyes.

'Lisa, I'll give you a chance to clarify everything. Please, don't lie.'

Lisa froze. Then he smiled and kissed her lips. "No. I am not hiding anything from you. Why?"

"N-Nothing. Let's go to sleep."

Jennie let Lisa carry her towards their bedroom. She was still uneasy, but she trusted Lisa. Whatever Lisa say, she would believe him.

When Lisa saw Jennie arrived. He was sitting on the sofa while looking at her.

"Have you eaten something already?" he asked as she sat beside him.

"Mmm." He hugged her. Trying to find comfort from her body temperature.

When Jennie asked if she had gone outside while hugging him back, Lisa wanted to confess everything... but he knew, he couldn't. Thus, he lied. "Me? No. I'm just here since morning. I never went outside. Why?"

'Did she really saw me? Was she able to clearly see my face?' Lisa was eaten with guilt. He did not want to lie but he did not have any options.

"Nothing." Jennie only smiled. Lisa saw that Jennie wanted to say something to him. He knew she wanted to ask if he was the man she saw at the hotel a while ago. Lisa pretended that he was oblivious. He suddenly feels nervous. In order to hide his uneasiness, he grabbed Jennie and let her sit on his lap.

"Is something wrong?"

He held her closer and touched her cheeks.

"Do you have something that you're not telling me?" Jennie asked while looking at his eyes.

Lisa froze. He wanted to say something, to admit everything, but in the end, fear made him unable to say those words. All he could do was smile to hide his uneasiness and fear.

Then, Lisa lowered his head and kissed Jennie's lips, wanting to get some strength from her.

"No. I am not hiding anything from you. Why?" Lisa swallowed all the words he wanted to say and decided to act innocent.

"N-Nothing. Let's go to sleep." Jennie allowed him to carry her towards their bedroom. Lisa knew she trusted him. She trusted him with her life, and he betrayed her by lying to her. Even it was just a white lie, it wouldn't change the fact that he lied to her, but he could no longer tell her the truth without hurting her feelings.

'Jennie, please forgive me. I really never wanted to lie to you... but I cannot lose you like this. I just can't.'

It had been a day since the incident in the HuaRong Hotel. Jennie felt like there was nothing wrong with Lisa. Thinking that she might have been hallucinating that time, Jennie decided not to dwell on it and move on. Besides, she would know everything when the result of the 'investigation' arrived. For now, she will believe in Lisa. Because she knew, Lisa wouldn't lie to her. Lisa wouldn't hurt her.

It was Sunday today and both of them decided to clean the house together.

Although she and Lisa were both cleaning the house alternately, and sometimes her grandfather would also send someone to clean once in a while, she still wanted for both of them to clean the house every now and then.

She never envisioned herself cleaning the house together with someone like they were a husband and wife. Jennie, thinking about Lisa, suddenly felt like her heart would burst due to happiness.

She never knew that living with someone would make you happy. She should've done that few years ago. For once, she was glad she made that stupid decision back then.

She was currently standing tiptoed, trying to clean the cupboard. Her left hand was currently supporting her and was pressed on the sink while the other one was trying to reach the stuffs inside the cupboard. When she almost reached the cup on the cupboard, someone suddenly smelled her armpit.

She was startled and hurriedly took a step back, because of imbalance, she almost fell on the ground. Luckily, an arm suddenly encircled her waist and grabbed her upward. It was Lisa. Their eyes meet.
