Restart [Jenlisa]

Two

I sighed as I entered my office.

Why? Why of all people? Hayst.

Chaeng entered the room and looked at me.

"Can you do it?"

"It's not like I have a choice, right?" I smiled at her.

"Hmm..okay" she left my room.

This is to save the company. This is for me and us. This is for her future. And it's just 3 months. Yes Jennie. Nothing will happen. I convinced myself. I already forgot about her.

..................

7pm.

I arrived at the hotel, where we'll have our family dinner.

I greeted my mom, dad, and annoying brother Taehyung.

"So what's your deal? Why are we partnering with the Manoban????"

I asked my dad as soon as I sat down.

"Nothing."

He answered innocently.

"Jennie with the Manoban??? Hmmmmm? Interesting..."

My brother butted in the conversation.

"Shut up!" I told him.

Then, my attention went back to my father. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Fine.. fineee.."

He raised his hands up, showing defeat.

"Look..Lisa herself asked me for this favor. I know you may not be in that good terms but I owe her a lot. And this would benefit us."

He explained which made me wonder.

Huh? Lisa? Herself? Why?

"You could've refused her...." I told him.

"Jennie sweetie, what done is done. It's just 3 months. Don't worry."

My mother assured me.

I sighed in defeat. Even mom is on their side.

Then, we continued eating and talked about other things.

..................

"Whattt?!??!!!"

"Yeah we're leaving tomorrow."

"Ugh. Whyy so fastt??? We just had the meeting yeterday! Tch!"

I just arrived my office and this is the first thing I hear. Ugh!

Chaeng shrugged.

"Idk. It's your dad's order."

Breathe. Jennie breathe. This is for her.

.........................

I finished all the paperworks and things I needed for my flight tomorrow. We also talked about our plan in SK.

I sighed as I enter the car. Today was tiring.

After a while, I arrived home. Then, I immediately going to my favourite room. Her room.

"Mamaaaa!"

I bent down as she ran to me. She excitedly greeted me and hugged me which made me smile.

I hugged her. My comfort place. My favourite place. My favourite girl. My motivation. My baby. Ella.

I told her nanny that she can leave to rest.

"You know? A while ago, I recieved a stamp because I was a good girl!"

She showed me her hand, bragging, which made me giggle at her cuteness.

"Wow! You're so amazing!" I squeezed her cheeks.

This is Ella, my 4 years old baby.

She was the one "we" were supposed to adopt. However, life can be unpredictable and it turned out that I'm the only one who adopted her.

I spent more time with her since I only have free time during the night. Then now, I'm leaving her for 3 months.

"Baby...Mommy will have to leave for 3 months.. is that okay?"

I told her so she won't be shocked if I'm gone.

She stared at me and her eyes became teary.

"No..nooo don't cry baby..." I cupped her cheeks.

But she cried louder, whining.

"Nooooo! Don-Don't le-leavee meee mamaaa!"

I hugged her, patting her back to calm her down.

"Shhh...shhhhh...Aunt Nayeon will be heree to play with you..."

"WaaaAhhhhhhhhhh!!!" She cried louder.

I panicked. I also don't want to leave you. But this is for us. I hugged her tighter.

"Anddd.... I'll call you every night..."

She stopped whining and her cry was softer.

"Andd I'll buy you.... your favorite toy..."

I started negotiating with her.

Finally, she stopped crying. She tried calming herself and became curious with what I'm saying. Definitely a future business woman.

When she was calm, I read her a book until she slept.
