It had been a week since Lisa decided to trust and lend her strength to Jennie.

Until now, she's still not sure what she's really after. She wants to involve herself in her secret undertaking, and she promises to advise her in certain situations. With that, all she keeps doing is helping her out. She's the one who's lending her strength to her - not the other way around.

"I will ask for your help when the time comes! Do not fret, Lalisa Manoban!" was what Jennie told Lisa when she questioned her about what she really wanted from all of this.

One of the things be noticed was that she was especially interested in her list of dating targets.

She also told her about those who would not do good for her–those whom she could not get any benefit from, and those who would affect her business in a bad way. Of course, she still withholds a tremendous amount of information, and she only discloses them at a specific time.

'Perhaps, it will not be enough to meet her somewhere outside from time to time. I can probably take her in my office again. She does seem to know some things about business arrangement,' was what Lisa thought at one point, deciding to keep her closer.

Because of that, she paid a visit to her school once more, thinking of picking her up after her classes.

She tries not to stand out by wearing a less attention-catching outfit. Yet in the end, she fails to avoid attracting the interests of some students and other onlookers. She still had not even reached the main entrance of the school when she began to gather an audience.

And two of them happen to have seen her there before.

"Umm... Excuse me, Miss..." Irene called out to Lisa, looking too captivated by her charms to mind how bold she was for approaching her like this.

"Are you looking for someone?"

"Hey, Irene! Just how shameless can you be...?" Seulgi chimed in and walked up to them, making her snap out of her daze.

"You're also hitting on an older person now, huh?"

"You're the shameless one here. I'm just trying to lend a hand. What if this fine woman is lost?"

"Well, are you indeed lost, Miss?"

That's when the both of them look back up to her–expectant and inquisitive.

She only stares back at them for a moment, unsure of what to respond. While she can ask them if they know the person she is looking for, she is getting the impression that they approached her for another reason other than lending a hand. They appear to have recognized her, but they seem to have chosen to keep it to themselves.

"Say, were you that person who came the other day?"

Or perhaps, not.

It was Seulgi who asked the question. Irene only nodded and seconded her presumption.

"I did come here before, but I'm not sure if I'm the one you're talking about..." Lisa started, smiling a little as a small greeting.

"I appreciate the thought of you helping me out, young ladies. If it is alright with you, may I ask if you know about a high school student here?"

"Gladly! You can ask me anything!" Irene enthused with a grin, charmed more than ever.

"Hey, pipe it down," Seulgi chided from beside her, feeling embarrassed in her stead.

For some time, the two of them look like they are enjoying the attention. Then again, it is not everyday that they get to find someone as good-looking as her. That's why they can't help but want to enjoy beholding this gorgeous specimen as long as they can.

However, as soon as Lisa asked about Jennie, Seulgi and Irene fell silent all of the sudden–and at that moment, they appear strangely discomfited.
