High School Again: The President's Secret Lady Boss | Jenlisa

2. Coffee and Vanilla

As soon as one certain gorgeous lady makes her entrance, stunned silence sweeps all around the cafe.

Lustrous hair, a paid or doe eyes, a perfectly toned figure, and a well-chiseled frame–she has one staggering appearance overall. There is this prepossessing air around her that makes her look like she is gracing that whole place with her ethereal presence. She is overflowing with appeal and charisma.

With the way she easily attracted attention, it's almost as if a goddess has descended from heaven.

Everyone in the cafe recognized this insanely good-looking woman straight away. Then again, she is at the cover of several billboards, news headlines and magazines across the country. She is a prestigious personality with a high status, far-reaching fame and unrivaled affluence, which is why the onlookers can only wonder why she is in this kind of place.

Lalisa Manoban–the current head of the Lloud Empire, a world-renowned conglomerate of various trades and commerce.

Coming from an esteemed household, Lisa is a descendant of a reputable lineage. She is a tycoon in the industry with billions upon billions of assets, and she is said to have the image of a human powerhouse–strong-willed, highly capable and skilled. All in all, she has the looks, the upbringing, the background, the wealth, and the title.

A perfect fir for a perfectionist.

Too perfect to be in any woman's reach.

But contrary to that, Lisa is rumored to be a playgirl. Some say that she has dated a number of women before, but is never confirmed. It's true that she is often seen spending time with different ladies, thought - just like at this very moment.

"Lali~! You really came...!" A voluptuous blonde beauty called from the side, bolting out of her seat and waving at her with an ear-splitting, ecstatic grin.

"Does this mean you'll finally be my girlfriend? Can we date?"

Lisa only shoves her hands in her pockets and remains looking indifferent.

Though she is starting to have second thoughts about this, she still goes ahead and joins her at the table. She should settle down now before she can stir any more commotion. Catching everyone's attention here is already a bother. It might get much more annoying once she finally does what she has come here to do.

"You love coffee, right? I already ordered one for you," she continued, making Lisa's brow twitch a little.

'What the...? How did she know that? We just met today...' Lisa thought before heaving a sigh.

'Father had done me this time. Was he really thinking that I would just date any girl out there? I may be a flirt like what the rumors say, but I'm not a womanizer. I don't go out with just anyone. Not to mention, this one seems to be very persistent.'

And persistent–she is.

She keeps talking and acting all coquettishly the whole time, probably thinking that Lisa will eventually do her usual trick of pleasing ladies.

In reality, Lisa was only forced to meet this woman in that cafe. She is the daughter of a certain executive manager who is close with her father–perhaps, much too close that he thinks that their children will be a perfect match or something.

Per her father's request, Lisa went to meet her. But by her own will, she would turn her down. Lisa needs to keep it cool, though, Things often go awry whenever she loses her temper.

"Listen, Sali," Lisa started.

"It's Somi, darling~" she corrected.

"Right, Soni... I don't think this is going to work-"

"Sure, it will~! I mean, I do love coffee too! We have similar tastes. Won't we make a great couple?"

At that, Lisa only scowls.

On second thought, she should be a little bit harsher. With how busy her schedule, she can't waste any more time here. She really doesn't want to make a scene, though. Being looked at from behind her back is already unsettling her.

If this Somi wants to be as bitter as coffee, she will give her bitter.

"Coffee, huh... But opposites attract and likes repel..." chimed someone from behind them all of the sudden.

"Or so my science teacher told me."

Taken aback, the two of them turn to their side to find a teenage girl in what seems like a high school uniform.

Straight brunette hair that reaches an inch past her shoulders, two feline cat-like eyes, plump pink lips, and smooth, porcelain skin–despite how cute she looks, her demeanor resembles that of an adult. She is wearing an unbuttoned red blazer with the emblem of her school, a black tie, a grey checkered skirt, and a pair of white thigh-length stockings.

As if she didn't just butt in their conversation, she only kept sipping from her vanilla frappe with an impassive expression. What's more, she had invited herself to sit with them at that table, not even asking for their permission.

"Little girl, are you lost...?" mocked Somi, feeling insulted by her science quip and cheeky behavior.

"I think you're at the wrong seat. The adults are talking here, so you should–"

"Oh, there's a seating arrangement around here? Never knew that. I thought we only do that inside the classroom..." retorted the high schooler before taking a sip from her drink again.

"You can still talk, though. I don't mind noises... Oh, and flirting too."

She then flashes them a sweet smile, much to their astonishment.

Lisa finds herself at a loss for a second there, thinking that this girl is odd. Normally, people don't just straight up walk to her like this, much less talk so casually. She has no idea what she is up to, but for some reason, she can tell that she is indeed up to something.

"You're being rude, you know that? I was telling you to leave. Seems like you are too dumb to understand. I bet you're a troublemaker at school too, and I think troublemakers should learn their places..." Somi sneered with a snort before turning back to her companion.

"Anyway. let's just not mind her, Lali. IF she doesn't want to be kicked out of here, she should remember her lessons in manners... So, where were we again?"

"No, there's nothing to talk about anymore. I'm leaving..." Lisa muttered apathetically, catching her off guard.

"I'll say it now. I only came to straight up tell you that I never wanted to date you. With how stubborn you are, I doubt you will get it if I don't say it personally."

While Somi reacts affronted, the high school girl beside them only smirks in secret.
