Endless Seduction | JENLISA

Chapter Eighteen

Jennie's POV

I did an interview with Stacey but I knew it was just only for formality's sake. I immediately accepted from work and today is my first day. I wore a beige chiffon top that slightly revealed my cleavage, a black figure hugging pencil skirt and pair of black fuck-me stilettos. I need to look pretty for Lisa. I wanted to give her something to look at. Let's see if how long she can resist ignoring me. I would do everything just to make her look at me. Even just a single glance would do.

Be ready, Lalisa Manoban. There's no such thing I hadn't have before.

She couldn't just use me and throw me away like she did to the past women in her life. I will not be like them. I'd make her fall in love with me. She would be mine. Whatever it takes.

I came early to work. I am walking at the hallway where Stacey told me to walk on when I suddenly saw Lisa. She was absolutely sigh inducing in her hand-tailored female business suit and a black high heels with white details. Everything about her reeked of confidence and power. She had this cold yet alluring demeanor. She held an air of importance as she walked, like a queen in her castle. She was looking straight ahead with a cold, stoic expression. It was as if everything went on slow motion when she is getting nearer and nearer to me. My heart beats so fast.

"Good morning, Lisa." I said as she walked past me.

She suddenly stopped mid-walk and turned to face me. I felt my throat dry and I swallowed as I looked at her. Her dark eyes pierced through me as if she was looking at my soul. "It's Ms. Manoban to you."

"I-I'm sorry.... Ms. Manoban." I said in a small voice.

She gave me a single nod before turning her back on me and continue from walking. It seems that the woman in front of me is different from the woman I've been with in the hacienda. She was acting like she never knew me at all. Like she never... fucked me. Just because she already got what she wants? She had already added me to her list of conquest and now she was done with me. I sighed to ease the heaviness in held my chin up. No, I shouldn't pity myself. I should be fighting.

Remember why you're here, Jennie. Brush it off and keep going.

I am not that fast to surrender. Before I left the hacienda, I vowed to myself that I would never go back there with a broken heart. And I couldn't let myself down. I finally found the room I was looking for and knocked.

"Good morning, Jennie." Stacey greeted me with a smile when she opened the door. Her smiled disappeared when she looked at me. "You looked pale."

"No, I'm not." I answered.

"Do you want to sit down and have some water or coffee first?" She politely asked.

I shook my head. "No, thanks."

"Well then, come with me and I'm going to bring you on your office." She said. Stacey took me to another room. The room had ivory white Walls and one side of the wall was made of glass that gave us a perfect view of the city. There were three cubicles in the room. Each of had a desk made of some type of dark wood, a chair, and a computer. Stacey took me to the cubicle beside the door. She said that is now my workplace. She then began explaining to me what I needed to do. After some discussions about all I need to do she left the room and go back to her workplace.

I had two new co-workers. One of them was a woman named Joy and the other was a guy named Sungjae. They both seemed nice that's why I get along with them easily. And its because I'm new here and this was my first job, they also help me what to do.

Lunch time came, Joy still had to finish some work thats why only Sungjae and I go for a lunch. We went to the cafeteria and I was surprised how restaurant-esque it was. It was like eating at a fancy restaurant. We chose the table right next to the window wall and its stunning view. We talked and laughed while we ate. After we had both finished, we returned on our respective workplace. The day ended and I didn't get to see Lisa again. I don't know how to approach her. Even a single glance she doesn't want to give it to me.
