Hearing Jennie say that she would drive to where Diana was at and choke the woman to death, Lisa knew that his baby girl was truly angered this time. Everyone in their household knew that she had a phobia of driving—meaning, she couldn't drive without freaking out—and yet, here she was, saying that she would do just that in order to kill someone. This Diana had crossed her line tonight.
Pissed off that his baby girl was mad at him and didn't want to make love anymore, Lisa also wanted to choke Diana to death.
"Hello? Big Brother—I mean, President Manoban, are you there?" Diana continued to talk on the phone. "I think something is wrong with my phone. I can't seem to contact you using it no matter how many times I try. So I asked our colleague if I could borrow his phone...."
"Miss Young, why do you keep on calling me? Is there an emergency?" Lisa finally spoke. He almost snarled but managed to control his temper just in case there really was a work emergency.
He watched his baby girl climb off the bed and grab her satin robe hanging nearby. Her expression was cold as she put it on. He could feel her frustration and fury emanating from her in almost tangible waves.
"No, I... Actually, I don't think it's an emergency but...I thought that it might bother you, that's why I keep on trying to contact you," Diana replied. "I don't know if you've seen them, but there are photos of us online—"
"I've seen them. Is that all?" Lisa cut her off.
"What, really? You've seen them?"
Jennie scowled. It was a very subtle change in tone, but she was able to detect Diana's excitement when Lisa said that he had seen the photos.
Diana continued in an "aggrieved" tone, "I don't know who posted them online, but they seem to know a lot about us. They even know the relationship between our families. Did you read the accompanying post? They're saying that I'm your fiancée—"
"Miss Young, since it's not an emergency, I have no interest in listening to you any longer. Don't call or message me again. You even bothered our colleague and used his phone to contact me. So unprofessional," he scolded. "If you wish to discuss something with me about work, you can leave a message to my assistant. That's all—"
"Wait, Big Brother! I still have something—"
"Miss Young. Your name is Diana, am I correct?" Jennie finally butted in the conversation. She strode like a queen, almost floating on the floor until she reached the bedside table where the phone was at.
Silence descended in the bedroom. The only sound came from the gentle flowing water of the wall-mounted fountain.
Diana didn't reply. It seemed that she was surprised that a female voice interrupted her call with Lisa.
"What's wrong, Miss Young? You were talking so much with MY fiancé just a few moments ago. Why aren't you talking anymore?" Jennie asked in a cool, almost snooty tone.
"Fi-fiancé... Are you Big Brother's—"
"Yes, I'm Lisa's one and only fiancée. And why do you keep calling MY fiancé 'Big Brother'? Are you his sister? As far as I know, MY fiancé only has one sibling and that is Hyung. Aren't you the new CMO at Manoban Corporation? Is it appropriate for you to call the President-CEO as 'Big Brother'? I can't believe that the board of directors would vote for someone who is so unprofessional."
"Miss...uh, may I know your name?"
"No, you may not," Jennie replied without hesitation.
Lisa moved and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled his baby girl to sit on his lap but she refused. However, she allowed him to place her between his legs. She remained standing while he pressed his head against her soft chest and hugged her tiny waist. He allowed her to take over the phone conversation with Diana. His baby girl needed to vent some of her anger and frustration. Afterwards, he would deal with the woman as soon as possible so that she couldn't bother them anymore and make his baby girl mad again.
A faint exhalation of disbelief sounded from the phone, then a deep intake of breath. "Fine. Miss, I assure you that I'm a very professional businesswoman and fully qualified for my position as the new Chief Marketing Officer of Manoban Corporation. My education, experience, and overall credentials are all top-notch—"
"How unfortunate that the morals aren't top-notch as well," Jennie "murmured" in a clear voice.
Another deep intake of breath from Diana. "What do you mean?"
"Miss Young, let me ask you this. Are you aware that Lisa is engaged? And that he already has a fiancée who he plans on marrying?"
Diana didn't answer for a few seconds. Finally, she said, "Yes...I'm aware..."
Her reply sounded like she just forced herself to say it.
"Oh? Really? You knew?" Jennie acted like she was surprised. "I thought you didn't know from the way you've been chasing after MY fiancé."
"I am NOT chasing—"
"Calling and messaging MY fiancé several times a day about something that is not work-related, walking beside him, pretending to trip just to touch him, calling him 'Big Brother and acting like you're close to him, borrowing someone else's phone just to call him at almost midnight when he already blocked your number because you're so annoying...what else? Oh right. Feeling happy that others mistook you as his fiancée."
Jennie felt Lisa's arms tighten around her waist. She looked down and saw him frowning at Diana on the phone. He was about to open his mouth, but she quickly pressed a finger on his lips to prevent him from speaking. Then she pinched his earlobe, silently telling him to let her be the one to talk for now.
"Tell me, Miss Young. What do you call a woman doing all of these just to catch the attention of a taken man? Are these something a moral woman would do? You just described yourself as a 'very professional businesswoman', but all I see from my point of view is a loose woman trying to seduce my man."
"L-loose woman?! How dare you call me a loose woman?! I'm a member of the Young family!" Diana finally lost her composure.
"What does being a member of the Young family have to do with you being a loose woman?" Jennie asked, unperturbed. "I am just describing what I observe."
"I deny your allegations. You are sorely mistaken and blinded by your own jealousy. Lisa—I mean President Manoban and I are colleagues and friends—"
"We are not friends," Lisa interrupted.
"Lisa!"
"Stop calling me that. We're not close."
"I...alright. President Manoban, have you been listening to our conversation the entire time?"
"En."
"Then please speak to your...to the person beside you to watch her words. She is letting her jealousy cloud her judgment and has accused me of being something that I am not. President, this is defamation!" Diana complained to Lisa.
Jennie snorted.
"Miss Young, you are the one who should be watching your words," Lisa warned her instead. "The person beside me is my fiancée, my future wife. Accusing the future Madam of defamation is not very smart."
Diana was unable to reply back.
Jennie spoke again. "As far as I know, a relationship is only meant for two people but unfortunately, it seems that some people don't know how to count. There is no room for one more in a relationship between two people. Some people just keep on trying to insert themselves where they don't belong."
They could hear Diana's deep and rapid breathing on the phone.
Jennie continued, "Miss Young, all I'm saying is that regardless of background or achievements, I have no respect for women who go after taken men. For me, that is the very definition of a 'loose woman'."
"I still deny your allegations. I am NOT a loose woman," Diana said in tight voice. "Miss, you are overthinking things because of jealousy. I suggest for you to cool your head first."
"Jealous? Me? Of you?" Jennie scoffed. "Don't think too highly of yourself. I'm just being territorial and warning trespassers from encroaching on my territory. Miss Young, I'm only going to say this one time so you better listen. Stay away from MY fiancé, Lisa Manoban, or you'll regret it. I don't give second warnings. That's all. Goodbye."
