Work gradually fell in place in the next few days.
Jennie went out early and came back home late at night as usual. She had a very busy schedule, and Solar stayed by her side at all times.
In Jennie's office.
Jennie was reading through the report submitted by the Finance Department on her table. One of the assistant managers was standing in front of her.
"How are things going with the New Era Plaza? Are the events and festive seasons doing well?" Jennie scrawled her signature at the bottom swiftly as she asked without even raising her head to look at the assistant manager.
"From the data, the effect looks great. Ms. Caitlyn even appeared at the event personally. The crowd was hyped up. In addition to the effort of the Administrative and PR Department, the event was a huge success." The manager sounded pleased.
Being able to work in Glory World was a fortunate turn of events for him. As long as one put the effort in, there would be opportunities to soar higher and get recognized, and the vast number of industries Glory World is involved in was something his competitors would be jealous of!
Of course, he would be delighted that his company's business was doing well.
Jennie nodded with a smile. She handed the document back to him as she raised her head. "You guys have done well. The collaboration between each department is superb. I'll be sure to ask Chairman Manoban for a reward when he gets back."
"Thank you, Director Kim!" The man took the document from her gratefully.
Jennie nodded. She pointed at the door elegantly, signaling that he could leave now. The manager left with a smile on his face.
However, he bumped into Suzy at the door as she was about to come in.
"Director!" Suzy rushed into the room in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Jennie frowned slightly when she saw Suzy's expression full of anxiety.
"We just received a call from XX rehabilitation center. They... they say that your grandmother, Madam Deng, can't hold on any longer. She regained consciousness and said she wants to see you." Suzy's voice was trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and managed to finish her sentence.
Thud!
Jennie's pen slipped out of her hand as she was stunned for a moment.
Sun Yeong?
Her condition did not look well after the operation last time, and she could not have really lasted long anyway, but...
Jennie was feeling sentimental. It was not exactly sadness she was feeling, but she did not feel great. After staying quiet for a little while, she stood up and grabbed her coat as Suzy quickly called Solar.
When Jennie arrived downstairs, Solar and two other bodyguards in black suits were already waiting for her. Jennie did not say anything and went straight into the car.
Solar turned around from the front passenger seat and asked Jennie, "Director Kim, where are we going?"
"XX Rehabilitation Center."
Jennie put a hand onto her forehead in exhaustion. She massaged the space between her eyebrows and looked outside the window, wanting some silence.
It was around noon when they arrived at the rehabilitation center and the sun was still up, but the cold wind kept on blowing. Jennie wrapped herself up with her coat to withstand the wind around her as she walked through the corridor quietly with Solar and the two bodyguards behind her.
When she arrived at Sun Yeong's room, she noticed someone else outside. It was a familiar figure.
"Ms. Jennie!"
Jennie then realized it was Kai's assistant, Secretary Wang!
Jennie nodded and turned around to look inside the room. Secretary Wang then said, "Ms. Krystal is inside. Elder Madam regained consciousness just now and said she wanted to see you, so the hospital gave you a call. We can't reach Mayor Kim's phone..."
Krystal?
Jennie's eyes darkened, but they soon returned to normal.
Father should be sleeping at this moment.
Without pausing, she went in together with Solar while the two bodyguards in black suits waited outside the door.
There was a suffocating atmosphere inside the room. Accompanied by the sound of the machine beeping and her heavy breathing, she seemed to be struggling.
Krystal was standing beside the bed. She had almost fully recovered after nearly a month of rest and seemed very well right now. She should be enjoying her life pleasantly as of late with her child's full moon celebration around the corner.
Krystal turned to the door when she heard footsteps, and she saw Jennie in an all-black outfit.
She tied her hair into a clean bun while the large coat totally hid her belly. With her usual elegant face and indifferent expression, Jennie glanced over at her before walking towards the other side of the bed.
Sun Yeong looked extremely weak. Perhaps because she noticed Jennie's arrival, she slowly opened her eyes, hardly able to focus, and could only see Jennie's blur figure. She blinked several times as if she was trying to gain clarity in her sight.
Jennie watched Sun Yeong from above with her expression still indifferent. At that moment, she felt she seemed comical and lamentable, but she could see a tint of regret in Sun Yeong's eyes!
Regret!
She had started to regain a little bit of consciousness since the operation last time, but she never visited again since then. Now, she was truly reaching her end.
Sun Yeong had worked so hard all her life, used up all kinds of tricks and strategies, and this was what happened to her in the end. Was this not sad and ludicrous itself?
Jennie's eyes turned dull. She was not sure what she felt right now, but the situation did make her feel oddly uncomfortable. How should she be facing Sun Yeong right now?
