Lisa refuses to let her time and effort be wasted like this.

Anyone would feel honored to have even a bit of her attention, but for some reason, this one in particular was not giving her a damn at all. She was left behind without having any idea of what happened.

Going by what she saw earlier, this was done intentionally–but as for why exactly, she sure wanted to know.

'Seems like you're really underestimating me, Ms. Kim. You can't be doing something like this when you're the one who has gotten yourself in this situation in the first place...' Lisa thought before smirking to herself.

'You ought to know who I really am and what I am capable of. Your classes may have already been dismissed, but perhaps, I can teach you another lesson.'

With that, she pulls out her phone and dials a number. The call has been answered not even a second later–the person at the other end of the line talking with a polite tone. She gives out her order with a mischievous smirk, already getting amused by what is about to happen.

"Hey, there. I want you to get this girl for me. And make it as fast as possible."

It had already been almost half an house since Jennie made her retreat.

Strangely enough, Lisa did not chase after her. She thought for sure that she would at least put an effort, but considering that she could be prideful and obnoxious at times, she realized that it made sense that she did not. Then again, that is the encapsulation of her perspectives–

That is, to never chase after someone, and to have them chase her instead.

'Yeah, she is that stuck-up and overweening. Totally not my type.'

At the moment, Jennie is walking down the side of the road, no longer sure where to head to.

That is until an attention-calling, sumptuous-looking car pulled up beside her. Still a little exhausted from all the running that she did, she failed to put much thought to it, and consequently, she did not see what was coming.

Only when these tall figures in black-and-white uniforms stood before her did she realize that she was still not out of the radar like what she presumed, after all.

'So, now, she called for back-ups, huh?' Jennie deadpanned in silence, already having an idea where this situation was going.

When one of them walked closer, she only remained still and silent. That is when they disclose their purpose at last.

"Little miss, I'm afraid you have to come with us–whether you want to or not."

And as she expected, she got kidnapped.

There is no doubt about it–these people are the woman's bodyguards. She already saw their faces in the past, and she even recalled the names of some of them. Even though they do appear intimidating with their tower-like builds and forbidding presence, she knows that they will not harm her in any way.

So, they could pretend to be fearsome and daunting all they want, but Jennie would not give them the reaction they probably wanted to get from her.

'That woman... She even made these people go all through the trouble of taking me when she could just do it herself...' she thought as she was led inside the passenger's seat of the vehicle.

'What is she trying to achieve here now?'

It was quite impressive how they handled the abduction without catching attention and earning suspicions from the onlookers, though that must also be because she helped them abduct her by not resisting or making a scene–she cooperated well.

But because she was making their job a lot easier than it should have been, she kind of thought that it would not be fair for her to stay so obedient and submissive. She should make another impression at the very least. That way, she could show as early as now that she was no pushover.

Jennie knows that Lisa is trying to accomplish something here, but she is not about to give her the satisfaction of having the upper hand.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, but..." Jennie called out from her seat, grabbing the attention of her captors.

"Can we make a detour?"
