According to Lisa's temper, Zhen Manni expected Charlene would be kicked out of Manoban Entertainment for what she had done. However, in the end, Charlene returned to her side in a daze.

"Why are you still here?"

Charlene looked cowardly at Zhen Manni. Her usual confidence of leading Zhen Manni by the nose had now disappeared. All that remained was a pitiful expression as tears filled her eyes.

"President Manoban won't let me leave!" Charlene choked. "He wants to teach me a lesson by keeping me as your manager."

Zhen Manni's expression suddenly changed...

The only reason she had tolerated Charlene's backstabbing and allowed her to look for Lisa was because she wanted Lisa to personally see how her manager was like. That way, she would have a chance of working with him instead.

However...Lisa ended up keeping Charlene!

On the surface, he seemed to be doing her a favor by allowing her to torture Charlene. But, in reality, it was a warning in disguise.

He was telling her not to play any tricks.

Why did Jennie get whatever she wanted, while others struggled?

What special charm did Jennie possess?

...

Although the staff at Manoban Entertainment didn't usually gossip, Jennie still found out about what happened at the agency from Suzy.

She had long predicted that Zhen Manni would go trouble Lisa, unfortunately for Zhen Manni and her manager, they had overestimated themselves.

On top of that, she also heard about how Lisa had returned Charlene to Zhen Manni's side even though it wasn't something he'd usually do.

7pm. Lisa walked in through the front door to find Jennie standing in front of the kitchen bench wearing a white turtleneck preparing dinner. He wasn't as worried as usual.

As it was winter, she was wearing thicker clothes. So, her chances of getting burnt were lower.

Jennie felt Lisa's strong arms envelop her as she laughed and exclaimed, "Don't hug me too tightly, be careful of the oil!"

"I just want to hug you like this," Lisa pressed his chin against the back of Jennie's neck and breathed in her unique scent.

Jennie turned off the stove and turned around to hook her arm around Lisa's neck, "Why did you send Charlene back to Zhen Manni? You don't usually keep eyesores like that around."

"She said something wrong today...so she will need to suffer the worst punishment."

"Zhen Manni won't go easy on her...You're being a bit too harsh."

Lisa wrapped his arms tightly around Jennie's hips and looked down at her with an almighty presence, "Mrs. Manoban, it seems you have a lot of opinions towards my decision?"

Jennie laughed gently as she tilted her head and planted a kiss on Lisa's lips to appease him, "As long as you are happy."

Lisa satisfyingly released his delicate wife and returned to the study room to handle some matters. However, Jennie laughed to herself...

Charlene had asked Minho about Lisa and Jennie's relationship. She was curious because she realized, the only reason she was returned to Zhen Manni's side was because she had said Jennie was ruthless.

"She insulted you briefly and was treated so badly. From now on, we should all be wary of you." These were words from Minho.

However, Lisa did not mention it at all. Actually, Jennie already understood how Lisa felt; if she had encountered the same problem and someone had insulted Lisa, she may have reacted worse than him.

"But, Jennie, Lisa's bias towards you is so obvious it will definitely create problems for you. You should be careful."

"I understand," Jennie laughed.

After she put down the phone she thought about how much she enjoyed having Lisa treat her so well.

After dinner was prepared, Jennie took the food into the study room. Seeing Lisa was still occupied with work, she walked over and lay on his back.

"What is it?" Lisa asked without lifting his head. Although he was trying to concentrate on work, his heart was still constantly moved by Jennie.

"I was just thinking about how good you treat me. I wonder if you will still be the same in a few years time or even a few decades later? Will your love fade over time?" Jennie suddenly sighed, "If such a beautiful relationship comes across an episode of betrayal, I have a feeling...things will not end well."

After hearing her concerns, Lisa stretched out his arms and pulled Jennie into his embrace, "I can't give you a definite answer."

"Let's eat then..." After speaking, Jenni stood up. However, Lisa pulled her down and pressed her against the floor.

Jennie opened her eyes wide in surprise; lately, this man had gotten a lot trickier.

"I have no way of telling you how much I love you..."

"But, if I must find a way to express myself, I can dig out my heart for you. Do you want it?"

Jennie lay quietly under Lisa's body as her eyes suddenly started welling up and tears seeped out the corners of her eyes. It was because of his words that she felt a boost of confidence to reply, "I can do anything for you, even if it means giving you my life..."

In an instant, a violent kiss lowered itself upon her lips without any forewarning.

While others were focused on getting their lives in order, the couple's lives were revolving around who loved who more.

In the study room...

...after a typhoon-like activity swept through, Lisa's documents lay crumpled beneath the couples' bodies. Jennie lay on top of Lisa's body as she calmed herself down. Upon seeing the mess on the floor, Jennie couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have a meeting tomorrow? What are you going to do about these documents?"

Lisa hooked one arm around Jennie and used his other arm to pick up the documents, "This is a movie contract with Shan Ying."

"However...it is worth forgiving the contract once in a while to be affectionate with you!"

Jennie's ears turned red. The couple headed into the bathroom to wash up. After dinner, they returned to the study room to tidy up the mess. Afterwards, the atmosphere was once again warm as Lisa returned to reading his contract and Jennie leaned against his shoulder as she read a fashion magazine.

"It's the end of the year; there will be plenty of awards ceremonies. Manoban Entertainment will be hosting a celebration dinner next Monday. Although it's intention is to celebrate our award-winning actors, it also coincides with Manoban Entertainment's 20th Anniversary, so you are expected to attend."

"OK...will there be a lot of people?" Jennie asked as she lay her head on Lisa's thigh.

"Yes, there will be quite a lot."

"Then...will you be attending as my manager or as the CEO of Manoban Entertainment?" Jennie asked in a slight muffle.

"When the time comes, you will find out." After speaking, Lisa was silent for a little while. Because he knew Jennie didn't like to appear at events like this, he assured, "If you don't like it, you can always leave early."

"I don't dislike it," Jennie replied with her eyes closed, "Because this is your empire..."

There was already no point in discussing whether she liked it or not.

"The person I love is you. It has nothing to do with what position you hold. Not to mention, I quite enjoy seeing you standing in the spotlight."

Lisa could hear the adoration and reliance in Jennie's voice as she spoke these words.

This was exactly what gave this man a purpose in life!

Of course, even though Lisa and Jennie were the highlights of the celebration dinner, it could not be forgotten that a battle between Jennie and Zhen Manni still existed; this also drew a lot of attention.

This time at the dinner, they would be sharing a stage!
