My Pretty Apprentice (Completed)

Part 10 - Princess

Lisa's POV

"I hope that it will make you happy."

Then I started to walk away from her, Jennie Kim. I'm deeply hurt. I mean all this time I thought we're making a progress, progress of not being just mentor and mentee but being friends as well, then what? I'll discovered that through out this span of time being together she's just thinking that I'm stealing her time with her boyfriend? Pffft. I need to laugh. To be honest I should be the one complaining here, I mean since the day I started teaching her I never been in a club or girls and what? Its been a fvcking month. Imagine Lalisa Manoban having no fun at all? That's insane man.

I was interrupted with my train of thoughts when I heard a sob. Aish! I don't need to look around to figure out who's crying, of course its her, Jennie. As much as I want to totally leave her there, there's something in me that can't do that. Fvck this.

I gave in and decided to turned around and there I see a crying kitten. Her hands covering her face, she's shaking. My heart can't bear that sight, it as if all the hurt I'm feeling a while ago vanished the moment I saw her like that.

I unconsciously walk back towards where she is.

"Shhhh stop crying. They might see you." I console her as I hug her. She stiffened for a moment but when she realized its me she cried harder. Ugh! I said stop crying, I said to myself. "Jen-..." I was caught off guard when she hug back, hug back in much tighter one.

"Lisa! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't meant that. I ah, I don't know what gotten into me to say those. I'm so sorry. You're not stealing my time with Kai...." she lift her face that buried on my chest a while ago and look up to met my eyes, her eyes are now red because of too much crying, she cutely sniffed. "Please don't say you'll quit mentoring me. I need you. Please!" Her tears continue to pour.

I don't know if I'll laugh because of her being this adorable or what. I decided to follow my heart.

I lift my hands and cupped her face. I wiped her tears.

"Its okay Jen. I forgive you." I said.

"But you're still mad." She pouted, man for a brief second I'm tempted to kiss her lips. Can she stop being this cute? I think I really need a drink. I promise that after this team building I should get wasted and spend time with some random pretty and hot girl. Argh!

"I'm not mad Ms. Ki-.."

"Call me Princess then." She demanded and I rolled my eyes to her.

"Why it seems I'm the one who should behave and gain your forgiveness here and not the other way around?" I teased her.

She froze and blushed, maybe because of embarrassment.

"I ah, I'm sorry." She mumbled as she lower her gaze and just staring at my neck.

I chuckled and since I'm still cupping her face I decided to make her look at me again.

I leaned and kisses her forehead. When I pulled away her eyes still closed and I can't help but kiss her again on the tip of her nose. I need to restrain myself. She's still the daughter of my boss after all, my boss that fully trust me.

I'm glad that when I pulled away this time she slowly open her eyes, because if not I don't know if I can still stop myself claiming her lips specially that our faces are this close to each other.

"You're forgiven Princess, but to be honest I'm really hurt discovering that, that you thought I'm stealing you to your boyfriend." I confessed.

"That's not true, I ah, I don't know why I told you that. I ah, maybe I'm just guilty that me, myself don't find time to be with him and I'm just ah, finding a way to lessen that guilt. I'm sorry that I blamed you for nothing." She honestly said.

"Stop saying sorry then, you kitten." I said and poked her nose. "You're already forgiven the moment I saw you crying. I can't see you like that again okay? That's unfair." I teased her and this time she's the one who rolled eyes.

"Why is that unfair? I'm sad, no not just that, it scare and and hurt me too when I heard you saying you will no longer teach me." She pouted again.

My eyes focus on her lips now.

"Err ah, can you stop pouting Jennie Ruby Jane?" I seriously said.

"Huh? Why? I'm sorry that's not planned." She scratches her hair. Why everything she do I find it adorably cute if not hot? Argh I think I'm going crazy.

"I know just ah, just avoid doing that specially in front of me. Come on, let's go they might looking for us already." I answered, I let go of her face and picked her bag and started to walk but this kitten demanded for an answer. She's now walking beside me.

"Hey! Why is that? Why I should avoid pouting in front of you?" She asked again, she's walking along side me but her body facing me, like side walking, she even tilted her head for our eyes to meet which I'm avoiding to happen.

She won't stop until she get her answer, will she? So I decided to stop and face her.

I leaned. I made sure that my lips are inch closer to hers. That made her stop talking and I even saw her gulped. I grinned.

"Because I'm tempted to kiss you...Princess." Those words came out huskily. Aish. She's really tempting me.

I pulled away and continue to walk. I don't wanna see her reaction.

I'm glad that she didn't get mad or something. I just felt and saw on my peripheral view that she followed and walking by my side again.

"Oh glad you two already here. We're about to leave. We just finished discussing some guidelines." Ms Choi informed with a hint of disappointment.

I'm about to apologize but Jennie talk first.

She bowed that made me and Ms. Choi shocked.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Choi. Its my fault, I been nothing but a headache to Ms. Manoban. Its not her fault that we missed the briefing." She said sadly.

How can be she this adorable?

Ms. Choi seemed taken aback of what she heard and witness. I mean the heiress of the company she's working saying sorry and admitting that she's at fault? That's rare if you'll ask me.

"Oh there's no need to say sorry Ms. Kim. I'm just worried because you missed some important reminders." Ms. Choi said and bowed her head as well.

This time I decided to speak.

"Don't worry Ms. Choi, I'll take care of Ms. Kim, I can't count but I been doing this activity for a long time already. I already know the do's and don't's, though I should apologize as well. Something came up that's why we missed the briefing, it won't happen again." I said and bowed as well.

She sighed with relief.

"That's good to know that you're well informed with the rules Ms. Manoban, that's the only concern I'm having and now that all is well we can now proceed." Ms. Choi answered and smiling now.

We just nodded smiling as well.

When Ms. Choi left us to double check some little details before we proceed I look at Jennie only to see that she's looking at me as well.

She blushed and look away.

I chuckled.

"Am I that irresistible that's why you kept looking at me?" I teased her.

"You wish Manoban." She said annoyed and look at me. "I'm just ah, happy we're in good terms now." She added giving me a gummy smile. Her precious gummy smile.

That made me smile as well.

"I'm glad too, Princess.
