The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 261 - Bad Boy

In the next days, Jennie finished all matters concerning her tentative deal with the Bauer siblings. They needed to wait until everything was ironed out before signing a contract to build the company, Orchidia Beauty.

She also connected them with Amanpio Kileksky and Theresa Blipsburg to help build the equipment Alric needed and to verify the new compounds he developed. Fortunately, Theresa was kind enough to spare some time despite her busy schedule.

As for Amanpio, he was unwilling at first but when he heard what kind of equipment were needed, his curiosity won out and he accepted the project.

"Fine, but you'll have to pay for everything. My monthly funding from the academy is for my own projects, not to mention that three-fourth of my funds is cut off for a whole month as punishment because you smacked my handsome face."

"Of course, I'll fund the development of the equipment. It's for my company after all," she replied.

"Good! I need this change of pace because building the lovememometer is not going well. I don't have enough funds!"

Then he complained about how his punishment was so unfair compared to her "lighter" punishment. Jennie had no time to listen to his nonsense, so she quickly said goodbye and hung up.

So far, she had already completed two out of ten requests from the academy. They were moderately challenging but nothing too difficult for her skill level, at least for now. She wanted to complete her punishment as soon as possible but could only wait for the academy to send requests.

Finally, Jennie didn't have a reason to stay in Munich any longer. She was ready to go home. The others already left, leaving only her and Lisa behind.

Grandpa returned ahead of them to run the Corporation in Lisa's stead. Professor Kalisha Schwarz went to Berlin to visit her relatives. Enrique Valdez flew to America to record an album with a famous diva. Maestro Ludovico De Luca flew to Austria next for another concert.

Before the maestro left, he spoke a lot in secret with Lisa. They didn't let her hear what they were talking about, making her very curious. She tried asking Lisa, but he just gave her a mysterious smile.

"You'll know soon, baby."

She was unsatisfied but didn't force him to tell her.

"Let's go home, then," she said.

"Not yet."

She tilted her head to the side, confused. "Why? Do you still have something to do here?"

"Not here but somewhere else. We're leaving tomorrow."

He wouldn't tell her anything more. Of course she could just search it up and try to discover what he was hiding from her, but her love for him was greater than her curiosity. She just had to trust him to reveal it to her when he was ready.

The next morning, Lisa's private jet picked them up at the airport. Jennie didn't know where they were going. Surprisingly, the flight was quick. It only took a little more than an hour.

When they disembarked, her eyes widened as she recognized the language. She looked at Lisa with a mixture of confusion and excitement.

He gave her a light kiss on the lips. "You've been working so hard. Let's relax here for five days or so. You're going to be very busy once we return."

"Okay."

Stresa, Italy.

They spent the first day enjoying Milan before travelling by car to Stresa. They arrived at a beautiful palatial villa standing on a hill overlooking a great lake. The Alps could be seen from a distance.
