The Witch CEO is NOT a Demoness[Jenlisa]

(29) Even if Daddy was Not Here

"Tell me where Jennie is and I will give you his number." Lisa was sitting straight while looking at Rosé. In just a second, he saw Rosé's foolish look.

Her face changed expressions every now and then. From shock to excitement and happiness, then depression to fear. 'Seems like this girl is not just shameless but also comical.'

Thinking of his younger brother, Jisoo, Lisa wanted to see how this shameless little princess tie his brother and force him into submission. 'Looks like I can use this woman as my minion.'

"I will tell you but his personal number is not enough. His number and a date, take it or leave it!" Rosé suddenly said as he was in deep thoughts.

Lisa almost fell off the chair. 'Even those old dying bastards in the business world are not as shameless as her. Seems like It's very difficult to control this woman.'

"I am not Jisoo. I can only give you his number but adding a date on the contract is definitely impossible."

"Why ah?! Can't you just force him?? Aren't you his big brother??"

"No means no."

"Stingy!! I know it's possible. You just don't want to do it!! Fine! No need to say anything. This collaboration is over! Find Jenjen on your own! Humpf!!"

Rosé immediately stood up, preparing to walk away when he said, "I cannot guarantee that Jisoo will agree but....." Hearing what he said, Rosé stop walking. She slowly sat down again, staring at him intensely. When he did not continue his sentence, she acted cutely and said, "Aiyaa~ awesome big brother in law~ you are very handsome. Care to finish your sentence?? I will make sure to help you find Jenjen~ hehehe."

Lisa inwardly smirked. "I can only give you his number and introduce you to him. When it comes to inviting him for a date, you must rely on your own.... beauty. I hope you are confident that you will succeed. Whether it was a success or a failure, it depends on your capability."

Rosé's eyes twinkled like the stars. She smiled beautifully and said confidently, "Of course!! Who am I?? I am Rosé!! I am an expert in love and seduction! Heh! You should have seen my beloved Jisoo acting shy as I tried to use my ultimate pickup line! You want to hear it? I got tons of awesome ones here inside my brain!"

Lisa grimaced. "No need to bother. Just tell me where Jennie is and consider this transaction successful."

"Mmmm.." Rosé's stared at him. As if she was expecting something.

"Come on~ Write his number."

"Give me Jennie's location first."

"Na-ah~ This is a transaction. You are asking me, so it should be you who must do it first. You are scaring me because you look like a bad gege." Although the last sentence was said in whisper, Lisa was still able to hear it.

The corner of his mouth twitched. He's a business man but it seems like he can't win against Jennie's friend. After giving her what she wanted, he dialed his brother's personal phone number. Just a couple of beeps and someone answered.

"Hello? Why did you call?"

"Park Rosé of Infinite Airlines."

"What------"As fast as he dialed Jisoo's number, Lisa immediately turned off his phone and set it on silent mode.

"Done. Now, her location."

Rosé gaped. "That's it?! How was that an introduction?! Aiyaa~ are you treating me like an idiot huh?"

"I already said your name. Isn't that an introduction? Besides, he will get intrigued and will spend efforts to gather information about you. Shouldn't you give thanks to me instead?"

After a few minutes of silence, Rosé agreed. "Fine!!! Okay.. I-I'm not really sure where Jennie is....." After hearing what Rosé said, his face darkened.

Seeing his face contorted like he wanted to kill someone, Rosé immediately continued her sentence. "But!!! But... since you've already turned Beijing upside down and you still can't find her, it means that she really intends to hide away from you. As her friend, I know some place where she usually stays when we were young. She must be there, hiding."

After receiving the details, Lisa immediately left without saying goodbye.

"Aiyaa~ You're welcome!!!" Rosé sarcastically responded. 'Shesh! He's really different from my beloved Jisoo.' Thinking about the man that made her heart thump rapidly, Rosé immediately dialed his number.

After a few more beep, a deep voice could be heard, answering the phone. "Hello? Who is this?"

Rosé almost squealed from delight and happiness. 'Ahhh!! He answered~~~'

"*Coughed* This.. This is M-Mrs. Manoban..."

".....Mother?"

"No! no! no!! I mean... This is the Future Second Young Madam."

"..."

*Tuut.. Tuut... Tuut..*

"H-hello? Hello!"

'Ah?? It was cut?! Whhyyy?!'

*sob*

Rosé was left speechless.

Jennie woke up. Her head hurt. She opened her eyes and look around her surroundings. She was lying on a tiny bed inside a house. She immediately sat and wanted to stand up when an older woman went inside the room. The older woman immediately assisted her to sit down. "Don't force yourself. Are you okay now??"

"W-where am I?" Jennie recalled what happened before.

As far as she could remember, after leaving the house, she drove her car endlessly, not paying attention to where she was going.

All she wanted to do was to stay away.. far, far away from him... so, she could forget everything..

She was driving for hours when her car suddenly stopped. It broke and wouldn't start. She started walking, trying to find a house when she suddenly felt dizzy. She tried to calm herself and find a tree to lean on, but she was a little late and she fainted beside the road.

"You're here in Yihezhuang[3], you fainted a while ago. Luckily my husband saw you and carried you here. Do not force yourself. It might affect the baby in your belly."

Jennie froze.

'Baby? I-I am.. Pregnant?'

"Y-You must be wrong.. I-I am not----"

"Aiyaa~ What are you saying. I also experienced being pregnant. If you want, I can accompany you to the hospital later for a checkup."

Jennie wanted to cry.. She wanted to laugh.. Her heart suddenly burst from happiness but when she thought of her child growing up without a father, all of her happiness vanished.

But she already made a decision. No matter what happened, she will not abandon this child, like how Lisa abandoned her.

'Even if daddy is not here, mommy will love you unconditionally. Mommy only needs you in her life.'

Jennie smiled while caressing her abdomen.
