Jennie held onto Nayeon as they stood there silently, looking at the black Land Rover that suddenly stopped. The brake lights flashing in the dim light of the night.
The car's rear was like his back to her in the bright night.
The car stopped for a long time. Jisoo's car also didn't move. She lowered the window to look at the person in the car and then looked back at Jennie, who was standing upright on the roadside.
As for the Land Rover, it had stopped for a long time, but no one got off or walked over.
Without guessing, Lisa had seen her after all. If it were just a quick phone call, he wouldn't have immediately turned off the ignition.
Jennie looked at the headlights in front of her in silence. She felt that the street was silent, just like her heart. It was filled with colorful neon lights on the surface, but in reality, it was like stagnant water.
Since he didn't get out of the car, she didn't have to worry about the awkwardness when they met again and immediately helped Nayeon back to her house.
It was already very late. V had worked overtime tonight, so she didn't know if he had returned yet.
Jennie stood on Nayeon's balcony and looked out, but the direction of her balcony wasn't facing the street at the tax bureau, so she couldn't see if the car had gone or not.
Leaving Nayeon's house and leaving the district, Jennie had to go through the tax bureau. When she saw the black Land Rover was still parked there, she could not help but stop at her track.
She held her bag tightly as she looked towards the rear of the black Land Rover as the lights began to brighten.
Jennie took a deep breath and slowly walked past it. Both of them were very close, just a distance away. You see, Jennie's stubbornness was still there, and the thorns that covered her body were truly unrecognizable.
She walked past the car without looking back.
Lisa finally started the car and turned left, while Jennie to the right.

Since there was still more than a week before the Spring Festival, the company held an annual meeting. However, the company did not have enough fun, so the employees from the Entertainment Department and the Department of Commerce disturbed their beloved Chief Editor Wang to take them somewhere else to play.
That night, both departments' little party was located in Jackson's duplex apartment in F City.
Jennie didn't want to go, but Mei was actually very protective of her favorite friend. She grabbed her and didn't let her go, and there was nothing Jennie could do about it.
They bought a lot of things and all of them went to Jackson's duplex together. Although they said that it was a small party, they mainly wanted to observe their leader's nest. Women were born bored like this. They could find joy in boredom the best, they could even be happy about it.
The company's annual meeting was held during the day and when they arrived at his house in the evening, the table was already filled with drinks and food.
Mei and co. liked hard liquor, so they bought a Voltran before coming here. Jennie sat alone in the corner, drinking a glass of lemonade while watching them go crazy.
At some point, a new dance song was played on the television. Two female colleagues, who were intentionally dressed seductively, went dancing. Mei immediately pulled Jennie up, but she
stubbornly refused.This kind of thing, it was better for her not to go out and embarrass herself.
In the end, they pulled Jackson along.
At the age of thirty-five, Jackson may still be considered in his prime, but he didn't have the same hobby as a young man in his twenties. Seeing the helplessness in his eyes when a group of women dragged him, Jennie could only laugh as she sipped her lemonade.
Jennie suddenly felt she was getting older and not used to this kind of noisy environment.
She went to the table and grabbed a bunch of raisins and some popcorn, and other snacks that the ladies bought. She ate it while watching them dance and found out an indisputable fact.
Jackson, although he was divorced and a bit old, his figure was still not bad. He was very often very modest to the little girls under him.
Those lucky women who will get married to him would be treasured by him very well.
When the song came to an end, these people sat back down on the couch. Two people looked for a bathroom while the other was looking for an empty couch to sit on. Jennie got up, gave them the seat, and stood at the balcony with the lemonade in her hand.
Suddenly, she felt someone approaching from behind. She turned around and saw Jackson walking towards her with Jack Daniel's wine in his hand. "Always drinking juice. You don't want to drink tonight? Afraid of getting a hangover?"
"Did you forget? I just got sick a few days ago, and the doctor told me not to drink." Jennie smiled and casually gave a reason.
He nodded. "No wonder. If so, let's have a toast?" Jackson raised his glass to her.
Jennie raised her glass, clinked it with his, and then pretended to shiver.She didn't want to be alone with him anymore. Jennie smiled politely at Jackson and started to walk inside.
However, the moment she turned, her arm was suddenly grasped by him. Jennie was stunned and immediately looked at Jackson. She was immediately on alert.
Jackson was staring intensely at her and leaned close. He was now like a ferocious beast trying to catch his prey, giving Jennie no room to retreat. His goal was clear.
Jackson stared at her lips, bent his head, and was about to kiss her.
Jennie was greatly alarmed and instinctively tried to shake off his hand.She quickly took two steps back. Her expression was very awkward under the night sky, but her intention to refuse was clear.
Seeing how she rejected him, Jackson was a bit disappointed, but he still let out a sigh and smiled. "Sorry, I was impulsive." Having said so, he took another sip of the wine in a very serious manner and apologized to her.
Only then did Jennie relax and shook her head. "It's alright. I know Brother Wang likes to joke around."
"I'm not joking. Jennie! It was really obvious that we have a tacit understanding in work and life, and even if we are together, it shouldn't be too abrupt. I like women like you. Your confidence and personality are very appealing to me. I hope you can think about it and consider whether our relationship can go further or not." he said suddenly.
Jennie pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Brother Wang, I think we--"
"I'm very curious about what happened to you in H City a year ago? Why did you come back after leaving? I remember that you said that you had a boyfriend at that time, and you went to H City to find him. But now, you should already be single, right?"
