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

24. Silent Treatment

Though Jennie had been relieved that Lisa did not call her a lunatic or a liar, she could still tell through her silent treatment that she was so dubious that she put aside her confusion.

She told her to head back with her, but other than that, she did not say anything else. She accepts her skepticism, and she knows that she has this side with her - this was how she used to act whenever she was at loss on how to deal with a certain matter.

'This is fine, though. This is even better, actually...' Jennie tried to reassure herself.

'As long as she is not pushing me away, I can still continue persuading her.'

At the moment, they are about to pass through a store that sells electronic appliances and home furniture.

While Lisa proceeds on her way, Jennie comes to a still after catching sight of something on the screen of the television that is being displayed at the storefront window. Right then, her eyes bulged wide and her mouth dropped for a little.

There is this news broadcast that is covering the esteemed Kim's upcoming founding anniversary.

Her biological family is that distinguished and prestigious. They're well-acclaimed across the country as well. Even something like this is being reported on television.

'Oh, so it's finally that time of the year, huh? After this anniversary, I'll be attending the next one–' she thought then cut herself off as soon as the coverage pointed the spotlight on a certain someone.

The person being shown on the screen right now is none other that her adopted sister, Jisoo.

She is said to possess unparalleled beauty and is chased by many admirers. Then again, with those striking features of hers, everyone can't deny that. her voluminous hair cascade all the way down her shoulders, and her eyes are beaming with overflowing charms.

Jisoo really appears like an angel–but unlike others, Jennie knows better.

'A modern day saintess, they said...' she recalled what people kept calling her back then, which made her narrow her gaze in disdain and contempt.

'It is only a matter of time before you continue living with such a deceitful image, big sister.'

Just before her thoughts were darker and spilled into her expression, her companion appeared beside her out of nowhere. She managed to catch her watching the news broadcast, but she failed to make sense of her intent gaze and unsettling silence.

"What's the matter?" Lisa asked, making her turn to look at her.

"Nothing," Jennie answered and shook her head in response.

She had only finished revealing one of biggest secrets to her. That's enough for today. She needs to wait a little but longer before she tells her about this particular matter.

While she only continued staring down at her, she noticed something that stole her attention almost immediately. She then started scanning their surroundings in a hurry.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

It appears to Jennie that Lisa is sensing an alarming presence, considering how her expression turns grim and serious all of the sudden.

"Someone is watching us..." she muttered underneath her breath, keeping her calm even when she finally spotted what her premonition was all about.

"No, not just someone. There is at least two of them."

"Who are they...?" she asked with a perturbed look, keeping herself from turning to where she was looking at to avoid getting their suspicion.

"Those from the raffle, perhaps?"

"Probably. Regardless of who they are, I don't think this is a kind of attention I can tolerate. We should get out of here."

She almost forgot. She was not a woman to be taken lightly.

By that, Jennie meant that Lisa already had a fair share of experiences that were similar to this, which was why she immediately understood their present predicament.
