The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 2

Chapter 258: Choice (1)

Lisa, Moonbyul, and Seulgi were not the kind of people who liked crowds. During birthdays, they would just gather around and drink together.

They were having fun when Lisa brought Jennie into the room.

Not many people were inside; there were only seven of them including Moonbyul.

"We've been waiting for ages. Didn't I ask you to come earlier?" Moonbyul went up to them as they came in.

Lisa halted his steps and glanced at Jennie behind him. She quickly presented the gift in her hand as she responded apologetically, "We were late because we rushed to buy some stuff. Happy birthday!"

"Since when do you do things like this? I'd be happier if you transferred a good amount into my account. But seriously, when was the last time you gave me a gift? I'm sure it's not your idea!" Moonbyul accepted the gift from Jennie with a grin. "Thanks, Jennie!"

Jennie nodded with a smile.

"Come and sit. Everyone's been waiting. Take a look at the menu and order anything you like. It's gonna be a fabulous night!"

Moonbyul seemed delighted as he waved his hand to the waiter to serve them wine. Everyone then raised their glasses in unison.

They sat down after a round of toast.

"Is your wife alright? I heard about some news and looked around for a bit. Things seem complicated, but I never believed that Jennie would do something like that," Moonbyul said quietly after he sat down close to Lisa. Glancing at Jennie who was sipping her wine, he noticed that she was still her cool usual self. Two other girls went up to talk to her and she gave them a warm smile.

"It's alright. Someone's just messing with her," Lisa replied straightforwardly.

"Who exactly wants to mess with her? Matters like this aren't a joke! What the heck!?" Moonbyul's eyes turned icy.

"It's going to be over soon. Just wait and see."

"Same old thing. Let me know if there's anything I can help with." Moonbyul did not press on the matter. He glanced at Lisa and they had another drink again.

The men started smoking and playing cards together while the girls sang karaoke. From time to time, Jennie glanced at Lisa who was focused on the cards. After a while, her phone started ringing. It was a call from the Shen Residence.

She frowned a little before she stood up and went outside.

It was Yong Gun calling. He was mainly concerned about the same matter.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm alright. Lisa said he'll take care of it, so things will be okay."

"Mmm, since things have come down to this, take better care of yourself."

"I got it, Grandpa. Rest earlier. I'll visit you soon."

...

Jennie took a deep breath after hanging up on the call. She grabbed the cold railing with one hand and held her phone tightly with the other.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps behind her, and the whiff of cologne surrounded her. Before Jennie could turn around, that person's nefarious voice reached her ears. "Long time no see. Nice to see you, Ms. Jennie!"

With a deep frown, she turned around to the voice calling out to her. It was Jisoo!

Armed with a wicked smile on his handsome face, a light flashed through his eyes as he stared straight at Jennie.

"Vice President Kim! Nice to see you." After a while, Jennie raised her eyebrows and looked at him on alert. "I heard you've been working hard for Yueying recently. The person who asked you for help must be a big shot."

"Tsk tsk, look at your tone of voice... I did help you out after all. If you come to me, I might help you out again. I've always admired you, Ms. Jennie."

Jisoo put on his creepy smile and teased her, "However, I think you're even more of a big shot here., Lisa actually sent you to Yueying. I can see that he thinks highly of you."

Jennie glanced at him coldly before she went on her way.

Before Jennie could walk past him, Jisoo's voice echoed in her ears. "But it seems that the news lately hasn't been very favorable for you, Ms. Jennie..."

Jennie suddenly stopped and squinted suspiciously at him. "What now? Are you trying to tell me that you helped Krystal do that?"

"Of course not, Ms. Jennie! Do I look like I'd do that?"

Jisoo shrugged and looked at Jennie innocently, relishing in Jennie's cold and strained expression. "Krystal isn't really my type, so I don't care about her, but she did look for me several times. Do you want to know what she told me?" Jisoo spoke seductively.

"If I want to know, would you just tell me obediently?"

Jennie just smiled wryly although she did not feel like talking to him anymore. "I know that Kim Group is aiming for the South River project as well, but Glory World will fight hard for it. I'm looking forward to our next meeting. Goodbye, Vice President Kim."

"If you tell me, I might consider telling you about it. As for the South River project, Kim Group is definitely getting it. I'm afraid Glory World stands no chance."

A tint of cruelty flashed in his eyes when he spoke in a determined tone and he gave Jennie a meaningful smile.

"Really?" Jennie narrowed her eyes and gazed back at him with a confident smile. "Well, we'll wait and see then."

"Is there no one else in Glory World? How could Lisa have handed such a huge project to a woman?" Jisoo's tone was cold, his eyes darkening slightly.

Jennie was boiling mad about Jisoo's remark, so she launched an attack back at him. "What's wrong with letting a woman handle it? Vice President Kim, you seem to be belittling women. Were you not born from your mother? Isn't your mother a woman too?"

Jisoo's expression suddenly changed and his features hardened.

She looked away and continued on her way, her slender figure going further and further away.

Jisoo turned around and looked at Jennie's back. An odd smile soon appeared on his face.

What a cheeky and interesting little woman!
