The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 539 - The Two Emcees

When the couple arrived to where their families and friends were sitting, Lisa finally put his baby girl down on her feet. It was obvious that he was reluctant to let her down by the slowness of his movements.

"Hon, are you alright? Why are you moving so slowly? Are you in pain? Am I too heavy for you?" Jennie, her denseness still activated, asked.

"Pft! Bahahaha! Ruby my girl, your man just doesn't want to let you go, that's why! I bet that if he could, he would carry you for the entire night during this party!" Grandpa's booming voice interrupted the couple's moment.

Jennie tilted her head to the side after hearing what the old man said. "Really?" she asked her honey.

"I already told you. I'm just concerned that you'll tire and hurt your feet too soon," Lisa said with straight face again.

Grandpa almost choked on his own booming laughter. The others also watched the scene in amusement. They could all see Lisa's shamelessness. It was only Jennie who didn't realize her honey's shameless trickery yet.

Later, everyone was seated by their assigned tables. Chaerin and Faye were seated on separate tables away from Jihoon and Jia.

Jihoon, Jia, Faye, Alice and Jisoo all felt nervous at first about Chaerin. They were afraid that she would pick a fight with them and create a scene. But to their relief, she only gave them a polite smile before chatting with other people.

She wasn't exactly cordial with them, but at least she wasn't creating trouble that would embarrass all of them. Better to ignore than to fight.

They also didn't attempt to talk to her, afraid that they would trigger her. But if their eyes met, they would smile at each other. Chaerin's smile didn't look genuine, but at least she was smiling and not snarling.

As for Chaerin, she didn't dare create a ruckus tonight. Not only was she doing her best to maintain her elegant, classy and magnanimous viscountess image, but she also didn't want to piss off her daughter. Jennie already warned her beforehand to behave, especially after revealing that Jihoon, Jia and Faye would be attending. Chaerin was very unhappy and even demanded her daughter to uninvite those people but Jennie didn't budge.

In the end, Chaerin could only "endure" attending the grand launch with all those people. She didn't want to fight with her daughter and destroy their current relationship. Jennie and Lisa were very generous to the people close to them.

Chaerin had been enjoying all the perks associated with being close to the couple. Like when Lisa introduced her to one of the best real estate agents in the country so that she could start looking for a property for when her husband and stepson joined her after they finished their matters. Also when her daughter agreed to give her regular free samples on new Orchidia Beauty products before they were released in the market.

There were also many other perks aside from these. Chaerin especially enjoyed Lisa's generosity of lending his own subordinates to act as her bodyguards. Her husband, the viscount, was a very low-profile and down to earth person.

If he didn't whip out his own title, nobody would know that he was an actual viscount from a long line of Spanish nobility. He wasn't showy at all, including in his security details. It was his adopted son, René Alejandro, who provided them with bodyguards while they travelled to the most dangerous and poorest places in North Africa and South America last year. Most of the bodyguards were from the orphanages who were very good with hand-to-hand combat and other practical yet deadly martial arts.

When Chaerin decided to return, René Alejandro didn't give her any bodyguards because he said that she didn't need them. She couldn't argue against him because her husband doted on his adopted son.

That was why Chaerin enjoyed Lisa's generosity in lending her his subordinates. Having a team of bodyguards protecting and following her whenever she went out in public made her feel more like a true viscountess. If she pissed off her daughter, Lisa would surely side with Jennie. Then he would stop lending her his subordinates.

Chaerin didn't want to risk angering the couple and lose all the perks. More than this, however, she was also rather enjoying being a mother to a full-grown daughter. She also liked Hoyeon and Little Jun, experiencing great joy in dressing them up in fashionable clothes.

These were the reasons why she was acting so polite to Jihoon and his two other women.

'I'm sooooo magnanimous! Truly a great viscountess! The bestest forever and ever!' she praised herself after smiling politely at the three, even though all she wanted was to slap them all.

Chaerin's thoughts were interrupted by the two emcees.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for coming tonight! Ehehehe. And welcome to Orchidia Beauty's official grand launch!"

Everyone clapped their hands and cheered.

"My name is Wonjae."

"And I'm Clover! We're going to be your emcees tonight!"

The brother and sister looked fabulous tonight.

Jae wore a tailored three-piece tuxedo suit that Jennie commissioned to be fully customized just for him. They used Lisa's very own tailor.

Similarly, Clover looked pretty and glowing in her peach midi dress. All the female members of the girl squad had dresses made by the same designer as Jennie. They all looked luxe and glamorous.

"I recognize that guy. He's Jennie's assistant," one of the guests said.

"I knew it! So I was right. He really is Senior's assistant. So that's why he looked so familiar."

These guests were Jennie's fellow celebrities from Bright Summit, also managed by Alison.

"That cute female emcee has the same surname as him. And they resemble each other a little. Maybe they're siblings. Or cousins."

"Yeah. Both of them should be Senior's people. But why are her people acting as emcees in this event? Is Orchidia Beauty short on staff that they need to borrow Senior's people?"

"That's what I want to know, too."

Although they had many questions, they had to stop, be quiet and listen because Wonjae and Clover began telling a story.
