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

39. Lurking In The Shadows

After exchanging greetings, Bambam eventually parted ways with Lisa and Jennie.

The two carried on with their previous conversation. To avoid attracting attention, they took a less crowded route on their way out of the building. They should pay attention to those who know that she is hanging out with her, and since meeting like this is important, they should also be mindful of how they act around each other.

That being said, Jennie tries to distance herself from Lisa when others are around. But even then, they are not letting up with the teasing and banter.

"Seriously, we should lessen the number of times we meet. How are you going to go on dates at this rate?" she brought up once more, addressing the topic as if it was the most normal thing to do.

"You know, you're the first ever girl who encouraged me to flirt around some more. Others would want me all for themselves," she pointed out with an amused expression.

"Well, I'm not one of those 'others' you said."

"Or so you've told me."

"What? You think I'm gonna fall for your charms one of these days?"

"At least, you've admitted I'm charming."

The more they get to know each other, the more she likes to fool around.

Jennie can tell that it's not like how Lisa flirts with other women–she'll punch her in the guts if she ever tries something like that. It's also certainly not how she treated her before. Instead, this is another side of her that she's seeing. She keeps telling what she wants. And that somehow makes her want to do the same in return.

"Anyway, I'm glad that things worked out with Ms. Park. She seems to admire you," Lisa started again, recalling how Rosé kept smiling the whole time she was talking with Jennie.

"Ms. Park is a nice person. Before I went back in time, I barely know her. She was different even way back before–simple yet elegant in everything she did. But now that I found out more about her, I realized that I could actually relate to her in more ways than I expected."

"Relate in what way exactly?'

"That's a secret."

"Again?"

While she pouted a little, she let out a small giggle.

She's more than aware that she dislikes being left in the dark. Keeping as much information as possible but disclosing some at the same time is actually a fun way to play around with her.

"You know, Lalisa Manoban–"

Jennie was about to say something again when she bumped into someone all of the sudden. Lisa is a bit taken aback to hear her abruptly cutting her sentence off. Since she's walking a bit far from her, she's not able to notice the person who passed through her side.

But other than her lack of attention, she also came to mind how shady-looking this stranger was.

"Oh, I'm sorry, little miss. I didn't see you there."

It's a man who appears to be a little older than Lisa. She can't remember is she is her employee, but she thinks that there's a chance since she's there at a secluded part of the building. There's really not much people around that place.

"No, it's alright, Sir. I'm also sorry for not looking."

After Jennie gave her apology, the stranger offered a courteous nod and walked away without sparing another glance. Lisa didn't tear her gaze off of him until he rounded a corner. As soon as he disappeared, she walked closer to her and grabbed her wrist, catching her off guard.
