Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 308 - Two Women With Different Intentions

"Are you not planning to go out?" Seeing him still in that same bathrobe even after they already ate their breakfast, Jennie wondered if he really had something to do in the next city.

But Lisa rubbed her head and said, "I called Guo Yun to postpone it. I can go there tomorrow."

"Oh," she murmured before smiling. "Then, what do you plan to do? Stay here?"

Jennie had to go back to the set later to finish her scenes quicker. If possible, she wanted to finish all her scenes before the two-months limits so she could spend more time with her Leo and Lisa.

Thus, skipping a day of work doesn't seem to be ideal to her.

"Why? You want to go back there?"

Jennie nodded, not denying it. She knew he was worried that she was still tired from lack of sleep and also due to their previous actions last night, but she really can't do anything about it. "I already talked with Director Xiao and told him that I need to finish my scenes faster than anyone. So, I have to double the amount of scenes I have to be in everyday."

Hearing her say this, Lisa frowned. It sounded so tiring and took a lot of toll on a person's body. He didn't want Jennie to abuse her own body.

As if reading his mind, Jennie placed her hand on his waist and pinched gently. "I won't hurt myself. I know this is a bit hardcore for an actress, but this is barely anything to me."

In the past, she once acted in two films with conflicting schedules. Her previous manager made a mistake of signing under two film scripts with the same date of filming. Her former company couldn't do anything since this breached the contract and they had to pay a large sum of money as remuneration for breaching the contract.

If Jennie hadn't stepped in and asked the two directors at that time that she was to be allowed to act in their film at the same time, the company would really end up bankrupting.

Thankfully, the directors at that moment had high respect toward Jennie and did not make a lot of fuss about it. They only changed the filming set and became neighbors so she could go back and forth between two closed sets than flying across two cities every day.

Right now, Jennie only accepted one script and did not accept any other events or resources so she could still have some time to rest in between.

Lisa saw her being determined like this and no longer persuaded her to stop. He reminded her to think of her health seriously and rest a bit more.

After lunch, Jennie finished washing up and changing her clothes. She had to come to the set to complete her scenes. She sat in the living room with the remote control in her hand and watched a variety show while waiting for Adelle to arrive to pick her up.

However, even twenty minutes after she sent a message to Adelle, her manager still hadn't turned up.

Just as Jennie was worried that something happened, the bedroom door swung open and a clean and pristine looking man came out of it.

Lisa had changed into a pair of black satin long-sleeved shirt with two buttons of it unfastened, exposing a bit of his chest muscle and bronze skin under the shirt, and a black pants that framed and showcased his long legs.

Fastening the cuffs of his sleeves, Lisa turned his head to glance at Jennie, who stared at him silently.

A smile dangled on his lips as he walked towards her.

He wiped her lips and said, "Stop drooling."

Jennie subconsciously wiped her mouth and a second later, she realized she was once again teased by him like last night.

She glared at him and smacked away his hand and asked, "I thought you said earlier that you're not going anywhere and stay here?"

Lisa chuckled while maneuvering his hand to pat her head. "I did say that. But I think it's too boring to stay here."

"Oh..." Jennie also thought that being in the hotel room and waiting for her to arrive was a bit boring too. She then said to him, "There are some places you can stop by while waiting for me. There's this coffee shop across the filming site where they have cream puffs and cinnamon rolls that you'll like. You can stay there while waiting for me."

"Alright. Let's go?" Lisa went to the door and waited.

Jennie nodded.

...

When they arrived at the parking area of the filming site, there weren't that many people outside. Since it was technically still lunch time, only passersby and ordinary town's people were there. So, Jennie was not afraid to show her face as she got off the car.

She leaned on the opened window after closing the door and told Lisa who was sitting inside, "I'll probably finish around 11pm. After going around the city, you can go back first to the hotel room to wait for me--"

Jennie's words did not even end when she saw Lisa hanging an ID cord around his neck, took his coat from the backseat, and opened the door.

"What are you doing?" Jennie couldn't help but ask.

Lisa walked around the car and stopped in front of her. He raised the rectangular and hard ID card and tilted his head, "What do you think?"

'Assistant Manager Manoban' was written on his ID.

It was an access card that only the official personnel of the film could get. Where and when did he obtain it?

"Adelle helped you process it?" Jennie could not contain her shock.

However, Lisa shook his head. "The city mayor is someone I know and gave me unlimited access to the city. He is also the one who gave me the access to enter the filming site and this ID card."

Jennie had nothing to say to that. Lisa's connections were too wide and spread across the globe. It was not strange for him to know somebody in the city.

It was just that she thought he was going to just act as her assistant manager for the sake of staying by her side. However, she wasn't quite right about that.

Lisa really acted as her assistant manager and took care of Jennie when Adelle was too busy handling other matters. At first, nobody really noticed him since they thought it was the previous man (Guo Yun) who came. But when some people who got a bit closer to Guo Yun came to speak to Lisa, they realized that the two were definitely not the same!

Not at all!

Guo Yun was someone who had a military background and anyone could see it at a glance, making people feel intimidated at first. However, he always had a smile on his face so nobody was really scared of him.

However, the man who came with Jennie that day was extremely different from him. His aura was a top-notch one which nobody could deny. At a glance, you could already sense that it was better to stay far away from him. And those who tried to get close to him because they were blinded by his handsomeness dared not to come close anymore.

They all felt like they had just stood next to a beast and one more step will end with them being eaten up by it.

This was also the case for Shi Lian and Jia Yi, who tried to get close to Jennie that day.

The two women had different intentions; one is forced to do evil things and the other is pure evil.

Jia Yi wanted to talk to Jennie, but Lisa did not even allow anyone to enter the dressing room where Jennie was resting after acting in some of her scenes.

On the other hand, Shi Lian, who wanted to do as she was ordered by Steffanie, dared not even appear in front of Jennie. She feared that the moment she stood in front of Jennie, her conscience would give her away and her family will end up receiving the consequences of her actions.

But she had no choice. Shi Lian could only wait until she was alone with Jennie. She had to do it or else, her family will really have no way out!

Inside the dressing room, Jennie lay on the make-shift bed made up from the bench in the room and covered with a thick blanket as a cushion. She had no idea that Lisa's mere presence, even though they barely saw him leave the dressing room, could affect everyone so much that nobody dared to even raise their voice when they passed through her door.
