A saddened vice shrouded all around Kai. His expression seemed worn out and lonely as the sharp eyes he used to have were now dull and dark.
It was obvious that he was not doing well right now.
Jennie lost interest in continuing this conversation, so she turned around and left.
Kai raised his head and just looked at her retreating back. He wanted to catch up with her, but as he took his first step, he stopped.
What else could he say even if he went up to her?
He had nothing else left to say...
...
It was 5 p.m. when she left Yueying.
The sun was setting in the west and the orange light warmed the whole of City Z, giving everything a cozy vibe.
The breeze was not very strong, and it still felt a little warm walking under the sunset as Jennie walked slowly towards her car.
As she was about to get inside her car, a faint fragrance came near, and before she could react, a big bouquet of bright red roses appeared before her eyes.
She tensed up and quickly looked at who it was. Unexpectedly, Jisoo's face was right before hers.
"This is for you." Jisoo grinned. "This is the first time I'm giving a woman flowers. Jennie, you'd accept it for my sake, won't you?"
Jennie glanced at him as she narrowed her eyes.
Back in the office just now, Jisoo's reaction had been really odd. He was quiet most of the time but would voice out his agreement whenever she made any suggestions. His attitude made Jennie wary of him.
She put her briefcase into the car before turning around to face Jisoo. "There must be something you want for you to do this, Vice President Kim. I feel that you're quite a dangerous person."
Jisoo guffawed, his eyes smiling as he threw Jennie a meaningful glance. "Do I really look like a bad person? What if I say I've taken a liking to you for quite some time? Can you accept my flowers? Let's be friends."
"No."
"Ah, what a heartless woman! I tried so hard to support you in the meeting and even gave you my first time of flower gifting, but this is how you repay me?" Jisoo smiled wryly.
Jennie squinted her eyes at him. As she was about to get inside her car, Jisoo grabbed her wrist and tucked the bouquet of flowers in her arms. "No woman can ever reject anything that I give!"
"You..."
He was so forceful that Jennie stumbled into the driver's seat. Her face clouded over when she looked at the bouquet of flowers. Standing back up, she grabbed the bouquet and threw it back at the man outside. "Who do you think you are that I have to accept whatever you give? Don't you know that I only take roses made of gold?"
The bouquet of roses smacked Jisoo directly.
Jisoo took the flowers she tossed at him, not seeming to be angry. Instead, he looked at her in surprise. "So, you have the same hobby as me? I'm noticing more and more similarities between us..."
"Vice President Kim, I'm going to be straightforward with you. I don't care what happened between you and Lisa. I hope that you don't come near me again. Otherwise, don't blame me for what's going to happen to you." Jennie's face and voice turned cold. "Moreover, I have a family. I believe you're a cultured person. At least, you won't be giving other people trouble, will you?"
"I really don't like you. No matter which angle I look at you, you look just like a pervert!" Jennie enunciated the last few words angrily before sitting back into the car and starting it.
Jisoo was not sore at all. He flung the bouquet of flowers away and just watched Jennie's car drive away as he folded his arms.
"Are you close to Jennie?" A voice came from behind him. Jisoo turned around and noticed Kai standing behind him.
"What do you think?" Jisoo laughed.
Kai had seen him throwing the bouquet of roses away. He gave it some thought before looking at Jisoo. "Do you like her?"
"She's beautiful and pretty amazing, isn't she?" Jisoo shrugged as he gave Kai a smiling glance. "My taste is different from yours. She suits me well. Can't I like her?"
"She's already married to Lisa!" Kai pointed out coldly with a frown.
"Lisa... One can still get divorced after marriage. I'm not like you. I'm a person who's brave enough to pursue true love. Moreover, the Kim family initially thought of making her marry me. In a way, Lisa's the one that snatched my woman away, so why can't I take her back!?" Jisoo smirked before turning around and going toward his car.
Kai remained silent as his expression changed.
Jisoo's words reminded him of what had happened at West Park the other day...
...
Outrageous!
Jennie was scowling as she drove along the highway.
Of course, she did not take what Jisoo said seriously!
She suddenly felt like she was on the verge of a vortex, and would get sucked right in if she was not careful. At the same time, she was worried about Lisa. She wondered if he was aware of the odd things happening.
Should she tell him about her concerns?
After giving it some thought, she stopped her car on the side and took her phone out to swiftly dial a number.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Ms. Jennie?" It was a very familiar voice.
"Mmm, it's me, Inspector Zhang. I have something to trouble you about... Can you meet me now?" Jennie asked.
"Right now?" Inspector Zhang responded.
Jennie nodded. "Yeah, right now. It's just past working hours. Let's meet at the Bamboo Teahouse. I'll wait for you there."
"Sure, I'll head over now," Inspector Zhang answered quickly and then hung up.
Jennie turned around and headed towards the Bamboo Teahouse.
