Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 296 - Dauntless

"Are you really going to go outside? What will you do if those people swarm around you?" Adelle was already worried enough about the rumors spread in We*bo and now, Jennie wanted to attend the booting ceremony as if nothing happened.

No matter how brave and calm a person was, nobody could possibly take countless people surrounding you and ask you questions that don't make any sense.

Jennie yawned and pushed her hair back before looking at Adelle through the mirror. "Nothing good will happen if I stay cooped up in this room. Besides, Director Xiao already told me that as soon as the ceremony is done, we will start filming immediately. I don't think it's right for me to not come there only because a rumor is spread around me, right?"

"But still, we should have prepared several bodyguards to protect you. Having me alone while these reporters surround you, I'm afraid, I'd be kicked to the side!"

The two hadn't expected that somebody would start a rumor about Jennie and so, they were caught unprepared. Jennie was more surprised having returned to the country and already being scolded because of an untrue rumor. This makes her reminisce to those times when people tried to cause trouble around her three years ago.

"Then, why don't you call the assistant manager you hired to help you?" Jennie narrowed her eyes on her.

Adelle dodgingly moved her eyes away and found it hard to look at Jennie again. She felt suffocated as she replied, "Forgive me, Empress! This lowly servant did something wrong but I couldn't refuse His Majesty's orders. I was also surprised when he told me he wanted to try being someone working beside you so I had to give him the assistant manager position!"

Jennie chuckled at her acting and waved her hand to interrupt her before the dam would open, "Alright, that's enough. Don't cry."

"But... but..."

"It's alright. Lisa already told me that he wanted to watch me work, that's why he decided to do this. Anyway, let's not bother him right now because he has some other things to do as well."

A few days ago, Lisa came to pick her up from the party while telling everyone he was her assistant manager. When they returned home, he explained to her that he was worried that more and more people will try to get into Jennie personal space due to her popularity and so, he wanted to act as her assistant manager to protect her private space and also herself from other people.

Unfortunately, being a CEO of a multi-company has a lot of things to do so today, he couldn't come with her and act as her assistant manager and bodyguard.

"Fortunately, Big Boss still hasn't heard about this matter," Adelle suddenly said as she sighed in relief. "I wonder what he would do if he did find out about it..."

Jennie didn't respond to that.

At the end of their conversation, the door to Jennie's hotel room was suddenly knocked from outside. Adelle glanced at Jennie questioningly whether she asked for someone to come, but she saw Jennie's expression having the same questioning eyes.

"Should I open it?"

"You should check it first."

After getting Jennie's affirmation, Adelle walked towards the door and made sure to hang the chain lock to the door before pulling it open slightly. Since there was no peephole to look outside, she could only pull it open.

In front of the door was a handsome, tall man in a business suit. He looked charmingly cute with his lips naturally upturned on the right side, seemingly smirking. The charming man adjusted the silver specs of his eyeglasses on his nose bridge and when he saw the door open, a bright smile was on his lips.
