When Jennie came out of the hospital, the moment she saw Lisa, she suddenly heard the conversation with her roommates ringing in her ears.

"How about it, isn't President Manoban coming over tonight?"

"No, he has a dinner party tonight."

"He's obviously lying to you. He says he's not coming, but he'll surprise you with a late night visit. I bet you a milk tea he does."

All three roommates bet that Lisa would come, but the facts proved that she, who believed Lisa, was the most foolish.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?" Pulled into his arms, Jennie lowered her head and mumbled. Lisa had come, and she wasn't unhappy about it. She just thought about how her roommates would definitely laugh at her when she returned to the dormitory that night. Jennie just wanted to...hit him once. If he was coming, why did he have to lie to her?

"CEO Lisa promised you he wouldn't come, but I'm student Lisa right now." Lisa sat in the car seat and looked at his fiancée askance. "Did you guess I would come?" Otherwise why did she take off her makeup?

Jennie shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "The makeup was too thick. I took it off after the phone call." She could be vain, but she couldn't bring herself to go out and meet classmates doing part-time work wearing such thick makeup. It wasn't just that she didn't want Lisa to see it.

Lisa took out his cell phone and turned on the screen. "It looks quite nice, innocent without makeup, and glamorous with it..."

"Delete it." Jennie quickly covered his phone screen, not allowing him to look any further.

Lisa laughed and clasped her hand. Just when Jennie thought he would be stubborn and insist on not deleting it, Lisa looked into her eyes and said something completely irrelevant: "I asked Auntie Wang to prepare dinner. Let's go eat there first, then go see a movie afterwards."

There were stars in his eyes. Jennie was bewitched by him and nodded blankly.

Lisa rewarded her with a kiss, then rode the bike to take her back to her dorm to grab her things.

Seulgi and the two others were watching a movie in the female dormitory when they heard the sound of Jennie opening the door. The three girls were greatly surprised. After Jennie closed the door, Chaeng said dejectedly, "I didn't see that coming. Turns out President Manoban is a righteous gentleman. He said he wouldn't come, so he didn't. And I thought he would turn into a big bad wolf CEO tonight."

Irene stroked her chin, reflecting on the past: "Could it be that my makeup skills need improvement?"

After finishing the spicy sticks in her mouth, Seulgi had the final say: "President Manoban has been single for nearly thirty years. How could an ordinary person compare willpower with him?"

Jennie pretended to be deaf. She first put her bag on the table, then pulled out two tissues in a row, as if she was going to the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom door, she suddenly opened the door to the dorm room across the hall and explained while fleeing without looking back: "I'm going to watch a movie."

Before her voice faded, the door was already closed.

She had run so fast that Chaeng and the other two looked at each other in dismay, only able to figure out the meaning after a while. Chaeng moved the fastest. She was the first to leave her seat and rush to the balcony, with Irene and Seulgi close behind. After waiting about a minute or two, the figures of Lisa and Jennie appeared below.

What righteous gentleman? He was clearly just a lustful tyrant CEO!

Chaeng deliberately coughed loudly.
