The Wife Is A Superstar 4

Chapter 617 - Can We "Censored"?

"The shameless hoochie," Jae growled low in his throat. Fortunately, only Jennie heard him again. She shot him a warning glance to stop him from losing his temper in front of Lisa's fellow executives.

Jennie might still be dense sometimes but her EQ had grown so much from the time she woke up from coma. She understood that this was a trap set by Diana. If she rejected Diana's request to join them for lunch, then the impression the other executives would have of her would be that of a selfish bitch who wanted to monopolize Lisa's time and attention while disregarding the presence of his important work colleagues. On the other hand, if she accepted Diana's request, she would appear as a kind and understanding woman who knew of her role as the President-CEO's future wife. However, she wouldn't have any time to spend alone with Lisa if she did that.

The process of weighing her decisions only took a second before she made up her mind. She opened her mouth, about to respond to Diana, but Lisa acted faster than her.

"I want to eat with my fiancée alone. Just the two us," he announced, tightening his hold on her hand.

The other executives laughed and teased him for a bit. Diana, on the other hand, looked like she ate something sour and bitter before managing to control her expression.

Jennie rubbed her thumb against Lisa's hand and gave him a soft smile. She was actually ready to reject Diana's request to join them for lunch regardless of the consequences of doing so. Although Jennie wanted to give a positive impression of herself to Lisa's colleagues, her need to spend some time alone today with him was too strong for her to disregard it. Fortunately, Lisa rejected Diana first, taking away the pressure to respond to the request from Jennie. Thus, no matter the outcome, nobody could directly blame Jennie. Thus, Diana's trap was averted just like that.

"I brought a lot of food. Please take some before leaving," Jennie offered to the executives, and then flashed a sweet smile to Diana.

"That's very kind of you...Miss Kim," Diana replied in an equally sweet voice.

The two women smiled at each other. Their expressions looked very sweet but the spectators could feel the invisible, deadly sparks colliding between them. After only a few seconds, however, the victor emerged.

Diana looked away, unable to handle it any longer. Frost flashed in Jennie's smiling expression, not the least bit smug at her victory. She thought that the silent battle between her and Diana was petty and was not something to be proud of. How could Diana win against her in this kind of petty battle? She was a former princess of the international underworld during her past life. There were only very few people in the world who could make her feel true fear and it didn't include Diana. Compared to the kind of people she encountered on a regular basis as Maria Vetrova during her past life and as world-class hacker, Diana was considered cute and harmless.

As for Diana, her dissatisfaction was obvious despite the fake smile on her face.

Jennie ignored the woman and gestured at Jae. He understood without needing to hear her exact instructions. He went to the table and started handing out some of the boxed lunches to the executives.

"Thank you, Miss Kim."

"Oh wow. This smells so good! Thank you!"

A chorus of thank yous later, the executives finally left. They explained that they only came to give a formal greeting to Jennie after hearing of her arrival from the company chat. Diana looked torn and lingered a bit longer than her colleagues before following them out of the office with great reluctance. She held the boxed lunch away from her body, as if she was holding poop instead of delicious food.

Jae snorted. If it was up to him, he wouldn't have given her anything, or better yet, he would've preferred if he could dump the contents of the lunch on her head. Louis was right. The way she looked at his sir boss was so nauseating to Jae that it was a miracle drool wasn't flowing out of her mouth.

'That Rafflesia arnoldii better stay away from sir boss or else I, the gorgeous Wonjae, will give her hell! Hmph!' Jae swore inside his mind. 'Not like sir boss will ever give her the time of day. Sir boss will never choose her over boss. But it's better to be careful around hoochies like her. They're full of tricks and will do anything to seduce a fine man like sir boss. Yep! I need to remind Baby Louis to keep a closer eye on that hoochie just in case she tries something on sir boss.'

Jae's internal monologue was interrupted when Lisa ordered everyone to leave him and his (future) wife alone. Before they could leave, Jennie instructed them to take their portion of the boxed lunches. The chef at home prepared more than enough to feed all of them.

Finally, the door to the office closed, leaving only the couple inside. Lisa helped Jennie out of her coat before pulling her to sit beside him instead of the seat across the table.

"You said that you're going to tell me something, that's why you came here today," he said while serving food to her. "What is it?"

Jennie observed his big, strong yet elegant hands moving in front of her as she replied, "I had an appointment with Dr. Ching this morning. He said that I'm healthy now."

"Good." He nodded, pleased and relieved to hear the news.

She turned to look directly at him. "Hon, I'm healthy again."

"En. You just told me."

"So..."

"Hm?"

She placed her hand on his chest and gave him a smouldering look with her eyes. "Can we have sex now?"

A piece of meat fell from the chopsticks he was holding.
