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

42. Suspected Agent

Of course, Jennie is still not certain whether Jiyong can be trusted or not.

All she knows is that getting him on her side as early as possible will do her a lot of good things. The Kwon family doesn't often work together with those outside of their circle, but that's what makes them all the more intriguing and one of a kind.

They've got this huge organization of competent and multifaceted individuals backing them up, after all. The most top-secret information circulate in their group along with other kinds of intel. The head of the firm himself is also charismatic and distinguished–

And insanely hot, she must admit.

"You're quite the interesting one, I see.." Jiyong started and regarded Jennie with a contemplative look.

"Say, Ms. Kim, do you even know what kind of situation you are in right now?"

At that, she only blinks at him for a second before letting out a small giggle.

His brow twitches at her unexpected reaction–not because he's annoyed, but for the reason that he's a little stumped. She was not supposed to respond like that. After all, everyone who gets to meet him for the first time will get too intimidated to even talk. His appearance is that daunting, and so are the airs around him.

But for some reason, this one is not even appalled. She is not nervous either. It was almost like she was not at all aware that she was abducted.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Kwon. I just recalled someone saying something similar to me..." she chimed in as she ceased her display of mirth.

"Seems like there's a rule to react terrified in a kidnapping, huh?"

"Not really. That's an expected reaction, not a law you need to follow. And that's why I'm baffled..." he trailed off while he stood up from his seat and walked closer to her.

"Not only did you laugh just now, but you said you were pleased to meet me? Who would be pleased to meet their kidnapper?"

"It's not like you're gonna do me harm, right? I get that you want something from me, and I know that you're not going to do anything to me unless you get that. In that case, let us talk in peace. No need for any roughhousing. I will listen to you."

"Do you seriously hear yourself now?"

"Hmm? Whatever do you mean?"

"That attitude of yours will put you in a disadvantage, you know. It makes me think that you're up to something. Perhaps, you're really more than what you seem to be."

"May I ask how exactly you're come to know me?"

"You're that lottery winner, right?"

From that, Jennie is enlightened at last.

Just as she speculated, it turned out that Jiyong took an interest in her after she won all the grand prizes from a fraudulent raffle at the mall. It couldn't be that their group was affiliated with that organization, though. Lisa would've informed her if that's the case. Besides, they're already being investigated by the authority, and they'll be arrested soon.

They won't be able to make a move against her anymore, much less take her away.

"If you're asking about what I did to those prizes, I didn't use them even though they're authentic," she brought up at once, not wanting to drag the conversation longer.

"And that's because you know there's a cheat, right?" he asked to which she nodded.

"Yeah. I did get to learn about it."

"How so? That organization had been operating for almost a decade. You were the first to expose them."

"Huh? I was?"
