Lisa's POV

I'm here in my car waiting for Jennie, because she doesn't want to go with me to the private elevator that can go directly from inside my office to where my car is parked in the basement.

She doesn't want the employees here to gossip about us, so she avoids being linked to me as much as possible because of the thought that she is still married,  but from the look of the eyes of my employees when they saw Jennie, I know that they have doubts, especially my secretary.

Because the truth is, I didn't really have a personal assistant before, but because I wanted to be with Jennie, I opened a job exclusively for her and It's just a secret, don't tell her. haha

Jasmine has been working with me for quite some time, she is good at her job and i'm not that oblivious that i don't feel that she is trying to get my attention.

She always sends some signals, like she'll suddenly touch my shoulder for no reason and when she says something, she intentionally whispers it to me to seduce me but I always ignore her and pretend that I have no idea that she's flirting with me.

She is beautiful, but I have been really close thinking about having a relationship since my mother died not knowing that she has a serious illness because i was crazy in love with a woman who only used me for her luxury.

I already accepted my faith that i will never fall in love again, until my Nini, came back and unexpectedly I fell in love with her.

God knows how I control myself around her knowing that we have feelings for each other, I don't know if what we are doing is really a mistake but there is only one thing I am sure of, Jennie is the mistake that I will not regret.

There she is, walking out of the elevator but obviously upset but she was still beautiful.

Until now I still can't believe that my Nini and my best friend is now my future and the love of my life.

She  just stood next to my car door and crossed her arms, I rolled down the car window.

"Why haven't you come in yet, Nini?" She didn't answer and just raised an eyebrow at me.

What's wrong with her? We're okay before I go down.

Oh Okay, I get it.

I quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her and  she immediately got in the car, then I closed the door and ran back to the driver's seat.

"what's wrong? Are you acting like that because i didn't open the door right away?" I asked her as I fastened my seat belt.

"It's my first day at work but your secretary is already testing my patience." she snorted without even looking at me.

" what? what did she do?" I asked while driving.

I know that Jasmine said something to her earlier and I know that it was not about work because I noticed that the expression on Jennie's face changed, but Jennie's mood was not like this earlier.

Did something happen before she came down? I asked myself.

" when I was coming down, I was with her in the elevator with the other employees and she was  mocking me about what happened earlier." She seems really annoyed.

"what about earlier?" I was confused while driving wondering what happened earlier.

"when you pretended to be mad just so you could kiss me, you idiot. They were laughing at me in the elevator, they deliberately let me hear their conversation that I was seducing you, but it didn't work and it ended up that you scolded me because  I'm not doing my job well. What the heck, if only they knew what happened earlier." she snorted.

"don't mind them, I'm used to gossip in the company, even I, I can't escape their gossip. There are many cunning stories about me that I'm having an affair with my secretary, but I just ignore it. People will believe what they want to believe anyway." I looked at her briefly and saw she frown.

"maybe there really is, maybe that's the reason why she looks like she has a grudge against me, i'm a threat to her, she even noticed the shortness of my skirt." she said coldly that I suddenly started sweating.

"hey don't say that I never had an affair with anyone for a long time."  I defended myself but I didn't hear any response which made me even more nervous.

I stopped the car on the side of the road and immediately caressed her thigh.

"If I'm the only one to decide, I'll introduce you as my girlfriend earlier, but you're the only one who doesn't want to" I tried to be soft spoken because I didn't want to trigger her mood and she might get really mad .

"I'm still married, Lisa, what if someone finds out? What will they say about  us? and I'm not even your girlfriend." she said seriously.

" Rosie assured me that your divorce will be approved as soon as possible and there is nothing your husband can do about it. I just want to let you know that I don't care what other people say, Jennie, I love you." I breathed a sigh of relief when she blushed. "You are the only woman I can see who can be with me for the rest of my life. I don't believe in courtship. Once the divorce is approved, I will marry you."  I was too honest.

"stop flattering me and go drive because Jessie might be waiting for us."  She gently hit my hand that was on her thighs.

"I'm just being honest here my love, i'm not gonna  court you or ask you to be my girlfriend, because i think we're too old for that, but i'm going to make sure that i will treat you like my queen everyday of your life and i'm serious when i said that i want to be with you for the rest of our life, I really love you Jennie."  I said seriously while looking directly into her eyes.

"Please, avoid saying too many flowery words to me, Lisa, you always make me feel like I need to go to the doctor for a heart check up." She holds her chest which made me giggle.

"Come on Nini, you don't need a doctor you only need me." I wink at her.

" I said stop and drive." She hit my shoulder.

"Are we okay now?" I asked her and she immediately nodded avoiding my gaze, she's blushing so hard.

She is so cute when she is shy.

I took her hand and kissed it before driving again.

I can't wait to marry this woman next to me I can't wait to go through everything with her, Jessie and our future children.

I couldn't stop smiling while driving when I imagined that Jessie was playing with her siblings, the whole house was so messy hehe .

I promised myself that I would love Jessie as mine, she deserves that.

It's weird but once in my life I really hate kids because they are so annoying especially Jennie's daughter, but these past few days when I was with Jessie, I felt that she is not that bad, she has a unique energy that her smile relieves my tiredness and the thought that I will have my own excite me.

"What are you thinking, why are you smiling like that?"  she asked in confusion.

"I just wonder how many more children we can have at our age."  I teased her

"seriously, is that what you really think?"  she sounds surprised.

"not exactly but I imagine that Jessie is playing with her siblings and your veins are bursting with anger because the house is messy."  I giggled earning a playful slap from her.

"I love you Jennie, I promise you that I will love Jessie as if she came from me." I look at her and smile.

She didn't say anything, she just smiled at me as she's stopping herself not to be emotional.
