Seulgi was so shocked that he didn't even noticed his glass had fallen over and the water splashed everywhere...
He finally understood; no wonder the Big Boss himself had asked about Jennie so late at night. Jennie and Jisoo had that kind of relationship?
In her mind, Jennie beat Jisoo 100 times; outwardly, her smile was so stiff that her face looked paralyzed. "Young Master, I can't tonight, I made plans with friends. I'll have to take a rain check!"
Then, in a natural manner, she turned to Seulgi, Jieun, and said, "Director Kang, Miss Lee, Lawyer Chen, if you're available, do join us! I once claimed to be a good cook and Young Master kept it in mind all this time. He is always asking me to cook for him to express my gratitude; I can't let him keep all the good stuff to himself! Thank you all so much for today! Thank you!"
After she finished, she bowed deeply.
Just like that, Jennie was able to resolve all the embarrassing misunderstandings with just a few words.
Jieun nodded in appreciation and thought that this artist was good at crisis management. She had also done well in the press conference, she was indeed a good investment.
As for her relationship with Jisoo, it seemed easily to misunderstood, but there was obviously no chemistry between the two. They should just be very close friends.
...
Regal Riveria Hotel, Krystal's apartment.
Kai brought nutritious food on his early morning visit. After some sweet talk, Kai looked at the time and turned on the TV.
On the screen, the Glory World Entertainment Press Conference had just started and Jisoo was introducing Jennie as a new member of the company.
Krystal hadn't slept at all, she had to put on a thick layer of makeup just to cover the dark circles under her eyes. She'd stayed awake to see the live broadcast, but didn't expect Kai's arrival.
She didn't know what would happen, so she didn't want to watch it with Kai.
Krystal clung to Kai's arm like a little girl. "Kai, what's so good about watching TV, pay attention to me instead! Let's do something else?"
Kai patted her hand and continued to watch the screen attentively. "Krystal, be quiet."
"Kai, why do you care so much about Jennie?" Krystal pretended to be jealous of her.
"Don't you care? You don't want to know what the conference is about?"
"I..." Krystal choked. "Of course I care about Jennie! I just don't like that you're giving her all your attention!"
"Ok, don't act like a child. Be quiet and watch with me." Kai was abnormally firm about it.
Krystal gnashed her teeth and could only sit there like she was sitting on needles, watching the broadcast.
Jieun was explaining Hye-kyu's decision to retire from the entertainment industry, then a reporter stood up and asked why Glory World wanted to sign on Jennie.
Krystal's heart was in her throat, she wished the situation would descend into chaos and end poorly.
Unfortunately, this was a Glory World event. Even if the journalists wanted to make a scene, they wouldn't be able to voice more than a few complaints.
Krystal cautiously watched Kai's reaction, but realized that Kai's eyes never once left Jennie, even though Jennie didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
Krystal suddenly felt danger approaching; at the same time, the lawyer clicked his mouse and a familiar voice started to play...
It was Zhang Qiang's voice!!!
Krystal's heart sped up and she comforted herself non-stop. Even with Zhang Qiang's testimony, Jennie would only be able to prove herself innocent. Nobody would find out that she, Krystal, was the one behind everything.
What happened next, however... smashed her hopes one by one...
