***Jennie's POV***

When Lisa said she would be visiting again, I knew she's really going to do that. However, I did not expect she would be visiting everyday.

EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

She would come over to our house before I leave  for work. She said she wanted to look after our daughter while I was away and she would leave right after we have our dinner. That's been our set-up for weeks now. The only thing that's been missing is for her to stay over for the night. Surprisingly, Ella seemed to become accustomed with our set-up because she was not asking Lisa to tuck her at night or she was not looking for her whenever she wakes up.

Sometimes I have been thinking doesn't she also have a company to run? And what about Tzuyu and Louis? Weren't they looking and asking for Lisa's time?

Maybe they're the reason why Lisa has to leave every night.

No. The reason was because you were not even asking her to stay.

Currently, the three of us is in my office. Ella said she wanted to come with me, and wherever Ella is, you better expect to also see Lisa tailing her. I remember when Lisa said she wanted to make up for the lost times she would have had with our daughter. They were really inseparable. Lisa would always bring her gifts, may it be a toy, a dress, or anything that a young girl could possibly need. With the time she spent with our daughter on a daily basis, I wonder how she still has the time and energy to buy those gifts?

Well, she has a secretary who can run errands for her.

I am having a video conference inside my office and both Lisa and Ella are playing at the modern leather office coffee table. I took a quick side glance to check on them just to see them busy with coloring books.

When Lisa learned Ella was into arts, like any other kids her age, Lisa bought her a Louis Vuitton Monogram Coloring Pencil Case Roll. I remember telling her she did not have to buy such an expensive thing since Ella does not know anything about brands. (Real Jennie Kim doesn't know the word "expensive")

"I want to give her nothing but the best. Just let me do it Jennie," was all Lisa answered.

Ella looked so focus with what she was doing while Lisa was always peeking at Ella's work.

"Baby, you missed this part," Lisa said while pointing at something on the coloring book.

"But I do not know which color I should use for her eyes," Ella said without taking her eyes off of the coloring book.

"Why don't you use brown?" I heard Lisa suggested.

"Brown?" Ella asked as if confirming she heard it correctly.

"Yes, just like your eyes. Your eye color is beautiful," Lisa said while looking adoringly at our daughter.

"They said Mommy and I have the same pair of eyes. Mommy's eyes are also beautiful?" Ella asked Lisa.

I saw Lisa turned to look at me so I quickly turned my head so she would not see I was watching their little interaction. But I knew it was too late because I heard Lisa's small laugh.

"Yes, mommy is also beautiful," I heard Lisa said.

Stupid. She was asking about my eyes, why did you answer I am beautiful?

Then why are you smiling like a fool?

I stopped myself from smiling because once again, my mind and my heart started to debate.

And Lisa might see me getting affected with her stupid words.

I forced myself to focus on the video conference that should have been finished an hour ago but it got delayed due to my own doing. I could not focus because I could not stop myself from eavesdropping to the conversation my guests were having; hence, I kept on asking the things my subordinates have already discussed or was already raised by someone who was also on the call.
