Marrying Lalisa Manoban

Chapter 3

Jennie POV

"I can't believe I saved you again. That's already twice in a row Miss-I'm-Afraid-Of-Heights. Next time, you'll have to pay me." The girl with the mysterious eyes said.

I coudn't believe myself that i will see her again this soon. It was only morning after a brief encounter with me that I had hoped that out path would cross once again. And here it is, my prayer was immediately answered. She's infront of ne, in flesh. She saved me from those bastards, and yes, that's twice already. I did not believe in anything but helped her to catch me in my panic attack, her soothing voice somehow calm me when we were on the plane.

"Thanks, I owe you." I said in gratitude then wince as I felt my arm seared in pain.

She turned her eyes on my arm, then her face became hardened when she see bruises in my white skin because of the bastard tight grip.

But it seems like this mysterious stranger and that Taeyong know each other. The latter looks like a scared rat when he leaves. The stranger does not say anything but...

Oh, my! Did she just told that guy that I'm the soon-to-be wife of Lalisa Manoban?!

Holy shit!

Who gives her the right to do that? And what is really the relationship between her and Lalisa Manoban, that even about the marriage she know already? It was supposed to be a secret, well not until I said yes to that agreement. But since, I'm not yet willing and never was really my consent at any occur, should only be kept still also as a secret.

"You should take care of that." She said in her usual cold voice, her eyes still on my arm.

I cannot answer it quickly.

"Wait!" I quickly call the mysterious stranger.

I stopped her way so she was forced to look at me.

She looked at me with frown on her forehead and with those deep brown almond orbs that as cold as night.

"Do you know me?" I asked in a hurry.

I saw something in her eyes but her face remained emotionless.

"Ofcourse, we met at the plane yesterday. How can I forget?" I rolled my eyes to her answer." But that's not what I meant."

"What do you mean then?"

"What I mean is, do you know me prior to that plane inciden? I mean, on a different level." I had a hard time telling what i wanted to say.

"Will you go straight to the point?" She asked, boredom was shown on her face.

I took a deep breath.

"Ok, you told that 'Taeyong' earlier that I'm about to marry the heiress of Manoban Corp. How'd you know about that?"

"Is not that the reason why you flee all the way here from New York? To marry Lalisa Manoban?" She asked m, her voice full of sarcasm.

"Yes. No!" My eyes grew wide.

I wanna give myself a knock on the head for giving two different answers.She slowly moves her head closer to mine until we are only inches apart.

"Can not make up your mind, sweetheart?" She asked in a flirty manner.

I was not immediately answered.

She's not touching me but her hot stare alone sent shivers on my body.

Her nearness made me uneasy so I took a step backward.

"Okay." I sigh. "So,you really know me. How you working for her?"
