"What are you looking at? Do I look good in this?" Jennie put her briefcase on the chair as she did a turn in front of him. He handed her a napkin with a smile on his face.

"It looks good. The colors are great." He sat down.

Jennie laid open the napkin and started eating her breakfast.

Haruto appeared on time as the couple was done with their breakfast. There were also two bodyguards in black suits behind him.

"Good morning, Master, Missus!" They greeted respectfully.

Lisa nodded. He turned around and looked at Jennie who was checking on the documents again. "We'll head right over there. We're not going to the office."

"Noted, President Manoban!" Haruto replied.

"Let's go." He grabbed Jennie's briefcase and handed it to Haruto before heading outside.

The car went straight to their destination. Even though they had done plenty of analysis and preparation, Jennie still could not help but feel anxious at this moment.

It was her first time handling such a tremendous project, after all. The huge amount of estimated tender she calculated gave herself a big shock.

Needless to say, a lot of money would be involved since it was a priority project from the government, but inside City Z, only the huge, capable companies would be able to take on this project. She saw the project listings. The total funds involved was eight hundred billion dollars, and the South River project took up nearly half of it.

The South River project she was handling was only a small part known as South River 1. The whole theme was to "build a new city in the south".

Many industries were involved. Even after the proposal phase was over, there would still be a lot of work to do after that. They needed to invite partners and carry out many other miscellaneous processes, which was partly why Jennie wanted to delay their wedding.

However, since he did not want to, she did not have any objections as well as long as they were happy.

It was a quarter past nine when they arrived at their destination. They reached right on time.

The parking lot was full, and the entrance was heavily secured. They could only enter after a thorough identity check.

The tender was happening in the meeting hall on the 17th floor. There were several other big projects similar to South River 1 happening together, so a huge crowd was gathered.

The meeting hall was fully seated. The screen in front displayed the topic for the day while many important leaders from the government sat in front, including Hyunbin. When he saw Lisa and Jennie, he gave them a curt nod, and Jennie smiled back at him.

Lisa and Jennie's seats were at the very front. As they sat down, they noticed the seats beside theirs were for Kim Group, and that Jisoo was right there!

Jisoo gave Jennie a wide grin when he saw her.

Lisa did not see Jisoo. Instead, he lowered his head and was looking through some documents Haruto had just handed him.

Soon, it was 9.30 a.m. Hyunbin and the others on the stage stopped talking as the tender officially began.

The host started off with a round of greeting and introduction of the guests, eliciting a loud round of applause from the crowd.

"The one on your left is Wang Ziluo from the Wang Corporation. He just took over the company not long ago. They are pretty good. When the New Era Plaza just launched, Grandfather thought they were quite reliable, but for some reason, we didn't really get to work with each other in the end."

Jennie glanced over at the person beside Lisa as she told Lisa quietly.

"The Wang Corporation? Wang Ziluo? The guy who had a crush on you for many years?" He demanded.

Lisa only noticed the person beside him when she mentioned him. He saw Wang Ziluo was leering at Jennie and it made him displeased. He put his arms over her shoulder, exerting his dominance on the spot.

Jennie glared at him and pushed his hand away. "It's a public venue. Be more serious."

"What now? I'm very serious and calm right now. Smiling at you like that seemed silly. I hope you don't like him..."

"I'm not talking about that! I'm reminding you to keep an eye on them. We need to look for partners in the future. They can be an excellent choice."

"I notice that you're really a man magnet, aren't you? Didn't you tell them that we're married? The ring on your hand is just for show, huh?"

Mr. Manoban was really irritated with Wang Ziluo. As he wanted to shoot daggers at him, the host finished with the introductions. Coming up was the South River 1 project.

The host spoke through the mic, "Bidders, please confirm your documents once again. Check if it's undamaged, and sign it before submitting it to us. Otherwise, we'll assume that it's fine by default. All the bidders for the South River 1 project, please come forward!"

Lisa glanced at Jennie, who nodded at him and went forward. At the same time, Jisoo went together with her.

It only took Jisoo a few steps to catch up with Jennie. The two of them walked beside each other for a couple of seconds when Jisoo asked quietly, "Do you think Kim Group or Glory World will win this time, Jennie?"

"Won't you know when the results are revealed?" Jennie replied coldly.

"Jennie, you have a huge misunderstanding towards me. Because of you, that woman nagged me throughout last night, and I endured all of it. Geez, can't you be friendlier to me?"

Jisoo grinned. When he looked at her serious face with her pink cheeks, he thought that she was really cute.

Jennie stared at him. "I can't be friendly to people that I hate, Vice President Kim. I notice that you're quite a narcissistic person!"

Jisoo's smile grew even wider and Jennie looked away. She checked the document again before signing it.

Without looking at Jisoo again, she turned around and went back.

As she passed him coldly, Jisoo touched his nose. He turned around and looked at her back. Instead, he caught sight of Lisa's deep, dark eyes.
