The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 379 - Polyglot

"Okay," Lisa replied. "Looking forward to it."

Jennie stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled his head down and kissed him.

The kiss turned fiery in just seconds. He plunged his tongue deep inside her hot mouth, tasting her. She responded with the same passion. Their tongues dueled and danced together, until both of them were breathless.

He moved his hands downwards along her back until it rested on her butt. Then he squeezed her hard, eliciting a deep moan from her.

Her hands also moved down his neck to his chest. They slipped inside his bathrobe and pushed it over his bare shoulders.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The loud ringing of the phone interrupted them. It was Lisa's. They both recognized it as his ringtone for business calls.

Jennie was the first one to end the kiss. She gently pushed him away. "Answer your phone. It must be important."

Lisa pulled her back by the waist. He looked torn.

"Go on," she told him, patting his cheek. "We shouldn't be doing this right now, anyway. Both of us need to prepare for tomorrow."

Sighing, he reluctantly let her go but not before diving in for another kiss, quicker this time.

"I'll take a shower now," she said and walked to the bathroom without waiting for his reply.

He sighed again and grabbed his damn phone. It was Bam's number.

"What is it?" Lisa growled, not bothering to hide his displeasure.

"There you are, my boy!" Surprisingly, it was Grandpa's booming voice who answered instead of his assistant. "You should say 'hello' when you answer the phone! Why do you sound so grumpy? I want to know! Actually, I think I already know! Did I interrupt something? I bet I did! Bahahaha! Sorry about that! Well, actually I'm not sorry at all! Bahahaha!"

Lisa only looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply. Nevertheless, his mouth twitched, the corners lifting into a faint smile. All his annoyance melted away. It was hard to stay annoyed at someone like Grandpa.

"How may I help you, Grandpa? Why are you calling using Bam's number? Did you lose your phone?"

Grandpa was staying at the other hotel with the members of their Corporation group.

"No, I have my phone right here! I'm using your assistant's phone because...I feel like it! Bahahaha!"

Lisa chuckled weakly. He sighed again, and then glanced at the bathroom door. He could hear the water running in the shower.

After Grandpa finished joking around, the two started discussing important business matters regarding their target deals that they wanted to close with specific companies during this international business conference. Although Grandpa usually left Lisa to run the Corporation and make the final decisions, the international business conference was a different matter.

Its magnitude was greater than normal. Both Lisa and Grandpa wanted what was best for the Corporation. Two heads were better than one in this situation.

Lisa was more up-to-date with current business trends, but Grandpa had more wisdom, knowledge and experience. With both of them working together, they aimed to get the best deals for the Corporation during the international business conference.

He was still on the phone when Jennie finished showering. She was already in her pyjamas. She also spoke briefly with Grandpa before diving back to reviewing her notes in preparation for tomorrow's conferences.
