Inhaling the familiar atmosphere after the well-deserved vacation, CEO Jennie Kim was now back in her empire with renewed energy to hate life once again.

But no.
And yes. Her closure with her ex-wife's ex-bf just added loads of thinking and occasional regret, crippling her broken soul. Yet she continued dragging herself forward.
Surprised that she lasted three days away from responsibility, the exceptionally alive Director Kim returned the crown with all willingness, informing lunch meeting with a potential business partner the very moment they saw each other.
And your girl, finally knowing her essence of being a human, took the reign back without questions asked, even she's wondering why the hell Jisoo is wearing a turtleneck in summer like some hypebeast in Manila. Must be the new trend.
Jisoo couldn't let a sigh of relief.

Living up to her ethical views, CEO Kim arrived at the restaurant earlier than lunchtime to see the potential business partner, earliest. Standing there, gesturing for her to notice.
And in an instant, smiles redundantly brightened up the well-lit room. The day, if it's even possible. Butterflies swarmed at the beat of Jennie's racing heart. Composure threatening to falter with every step. Closer.
Years had changed them, sure. But the feeling her eyes holds upon her did not fade. As if it's not four years ago she had last seen them. It's only yesterday. No, earlier today. The morning they took breakfast together.
Yes bitch, it's Lisa.
"You're early." "You're pretty."
A moment of silence for yo girl Lisa's gaydreams.
"I-I mean. you're always..a yeah sit. Sit." Holy shit.
Amidst the little heart attack she's having whenever their skin would touch, they finished eating peacefully.
Taking the deepest breath she could, she handed her ex-wife the folder taking accounts of her properties and every more that she would achieve from the deals at hand with her heart pumping excessive blood watching Jennie's interest reducing at every page she's turning.
"What's the deal in this Ms. Manoban?"
Lisa swallowed her throat at Jennie's formality.
"I- I..want to ...I-I'd like to ask you.. shit! Marry me."
She closed her eyes hard, trying to control her shaking knees. Silence lingered in the air. She opened an eye to see dispassionate Jennie reflipping pages of her proposal.
"Didn't you ...hear me?" she inquired seeing Jennie showing no signs of concern.
"I did, please explain further." Still with that tone.
"I-..I'm stable. I mean my company. And ..we have. We're..." She swallowed the shit, Jennie's lack of enthusiasm was killing her softly.
"We..we've recovered our major losses last year. We're past breakeven now. Our connections could well benefit your company." In one breathing she finished her speech, like some explain your answer in 3-5 sentences. So 3 it is.
I won't elaborate how she had overdosed Bam in caffeine then contacted Jisoo. And of course, Jisoo gave her ass a good amount of scolding and mental whipping then volunteered as her apprentice for this gamble of a lifetime, in which, she's beting all in.
"Am I.... rejected?" she inquired sensing defeat at Jennie's long silence.
"Explain further, Ms. Manoban."
Jennie looked so resigned. Like every statement she'd say would be wrong. So Lisa had made up her mind, if she'll be wrong might as well be stupid. Huh what??
Lisa placed a small red velvet box on top of the table.
"I-I bought that the day our divorce was granted." She felt losing once again but her smile didn't falter. "I can't afford wasting this lifetime not showing you how much I love you, I just want to be worthy of yours first," a stubborn tear escaped and she wiped it like a child. "I'm so sorry it took me this long and still not worthy." Then a nervous laugh. Jennie's features softened.
Lisa wanted to hold Jennie's hand but she felt four years away from her.
"Allow me to work hard every day, beside you, until I become worthy. Jennie Kim, let me be your wife again. Please marry me."
Jennie gently pushed the folder back.
"I'm sorry. I can't take that."
And Lisa lose every positivity in her blood.
Dafuq.
"Revise the proposal. I am only taking you."
Lisa's tears rolled back in her eyes.
"You what? What did you-you sure? You'll marry me again?"
Jennie smiled, shaking her head at Lisa's state of bewilderness.
"You heard me right, I'll do that mistake again."
