Jennie discussed with Jisoo and Chaeng about her plans for the national shooting team's endorsement with Orchidia Beauty. Jae also shared some opinions which Jennie welcomed. She trusted her best friend and assistant. However, the final decision would still rest on her.
Afterwards, Chaeng closed the small notebook that she brought after jotting down Jennie's instructions.
"I'll work on the team's endorsement as soon as possible," she said.
Jennie nodded.
Jisoo sighed. "I wish I could help. This endorsement project sounds fun."
"Jisoo, don't be too impatient!" Jae told her. "Little Misha and Little Dima are still so small. Wait until they're a bit bigger and you can slowly return to work like what Boss is doing right now."
She nodded. "I know. Thanks, Jae."
While the girl squad members enjoyed the rest of the evening together, an exhausted V headed to one of his secret apartments to avoid the paparazzi surrounding his known residences. He had been extremely busy earlier today.
Although he already expected that things would get crazy once he announced his "relationship" with Chaeng, he still felt slightly underprepared at the onslaught of paparazzi, reporters and interview requests. His social media accounts had blown up with his fans' comments and messages.
His assistant left after cleaning up the takeout boxes that he ate for dinner. Then he took a quick shower and got ready for bed. He was about to fall asleep when his phone rang.
He tried ignoring it at first but it was persistent.
"Dammit."
Then he checked the caller display and all the irritation he felt disappeared.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Son, is it true that Chaeng is now your girlfriend?" Chitthip immediately asked without even greeting him back.
V sighed and sat up in bed. His brain made a quick analysis about the pros and cons of admitting the truth to his mother.
In the end, he said, "Yes, it's true."
"Oh." She paused. "I only heard about the news this evening because I spent the entire day at your grandma's mountain villa."
"I see. How's Grandma?"
"She's fine but not as energetic as before. She's getting old now. You and your brother should visit her more often. I'm sure that she'll be delighted."
"Okay, Mom."
"Good. But don't change the subject! We're talking about your relationship with Chaeng. When did the two of you get together?"
"Not long. Just a few days ago before the gala." This was what he and Chaeng agreed upon.
"Oh." His mother paused again. "I'm happy that you have a girlfriend again. I thought that you're still traumatized after what happened with—never mind. Chaeng is a good girl."
He had to stop himself from snorting at his mother's claim. Chaeng is a good girl? Really? Why didn't he know it?
Chitthip continued, "Her way of speaking might be, er, unrestrained...but she's still a nice, pretty, young woman who has a bright future especially as the COO of your sister-in-law's company. I like her."
V pursed his lips. He didn't know how to reply to his mother.
"I'm glad that you got together with her, son. Don't play around and hurt her, you hear me? And stop always fighting with her."
