 Chapter 80.1 

The morning of Christmas.

The two were used to morning exercises. Jennie had a vast improvement in her skills; she's much crueler and harsher. Lisa had improved greatly too and was much fiercer. The two were familiar with each other's moves. Therefore, they rarely injured each other. Of course, even if it happened, Lisa was the one to get beaten up by Jennie. Lisa definitely didn't have the heart to hit her.

After the morning exercises, Lisa went to prepare breakfast. Jennie returned to her room to shower and change. Then, she waited for food.

Like usual, the breakfast was rich and abundant. However, because it was Christmas, Lisa had specially prepared an apple pie for Jennie.

"People say it's a custom to eat apples on Christmas, so I made a few apple pies for you." While speaking, Lisa packed the apple pies into a meal box so Jennie could eat it while resting at work. This happened almost every day and the food changed every time too.

"Christmas lasts for three days. The first day which was yesterday was Christmas Eve. That's when we should eat the apple." Jennie understood this better than Lisa. However, she took the meal box happily and went to work.

Rosé had been waiting outside the villa. Once she saw the familiar meal box in Jennie's hand, she laughed meaningfully. Her face revealed a glimpse of envy. Lisa was really the best choice for a husband with how considerate and detailed she was.

In the beginning, Rosé didn't know that Lisa had made the pastries in the meal box. She thought that the servants of the Kim family had made it. She thought about preparing it in the future since President Kim enjoyed eating these pastries.

She happened upon the truth during a conversation with Jisoo when she casually mentioned President Kim's preferences. That's when she found out that Lisa had personally made those pastries. As for how Jisoo knew about this, she had personally asked President Kim. That was the whole truth. Now, she's even more envious. From time to time, she would assess Jisoo. This woman was pretty nice to her but she never personally cooked for her. Compared to Lisa, she really wasn't gentle, considerate, and wise enough.

Jisoo was unaware that she was being disliked by the woman she liked because she wasn't wise and kind enough. Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't be able to imitate Lisa's and her investment of feelings. It's not because she didn't love her but there were different ways to love someone. Maybe, there were different intensities of love as well.

At the office, Jennie held the meal box herself. The performing artists of Kim Entertainment were used to Jennie like this. As the private eyes spread the news, the entire Kim Entertainment knew that the meal box President Kim held was personally made by Lisa. In it was all sorts of pastries attracting everyone's shocks and jealousy. Especially women! They all sighed, wondering why they hadn't found such a considerate woman.

Rosé and Jisoo reported their findings after entering the office. After the two left, Jennie placed her hands on the meal box. In the next second, it vanished. She packed it off into the system's storage. She didn't want to hide it but the system had a preservation function that could keep the food fresh. If it wasn't for the fear of arousing suspicions, she would've done so at home already.

In fact, in the beginning, Jennie hadn't thought of using the system to store food. It was during a random conversation with 001 that she'd found out about this function. But by then, people in the company knew that she brought a meal box to work every day. To avoid suspicion, she placed the pastries into the storage only after she was in her office.

As the clock slowly struck 11, Jennie's personal phone rang. The screen flashed 'Lisa'. Jennie looked up at the clock to see it was almost time for lunch.

"Where are you?" Jennie asked. When she had comforted Lisa yesterday, she'd become more open to her ideas. Not only had she agreed to an afternoon date, but had also decided on the time for lunch earlier.

"I'm standing in front of the office. Are you still busy? Don't worry, I can wait for you in the car." Her gentle voice rang, without even a bit of indifference. However, this voice belonged only to Jennie.

"Ten minutes." Jennie said straightforwardly and hung up. There was a pile of files to attend to, but she took her bag and left. She'd never really celebrated Christmas before. The family wasn't used to this nor had she given it any thought before. If it weren't for Lisa's existence, would she have even thought of celebrating Christmas?

Jennie moved quickly and appeared before Lisa in less than ten minutes. Seeing her, she immediately got out and opened the door for her and left the office after Jennie got on.

As this happened in broad daylight, many had taken this scene to their hearts. Even the few reporters who camped by Kim Entertainment for news, immediately recorded this moment, thinking there were more things to report now.

They immediately reported the happening to their respective companies. Even so, they couldn't beat the speed of the internet. Not only did the Kim Entertainment have performing artists, but also many employees. There was also another company nearby. It was considered a rather bustling area. Who knew how many people had recorded this extremely eye-catching scene‽ That's how the internet circulated similar pictures and even videos around, practically all at the same time.

Many users and fans started to shout slogans like 'showing off love will blind the single people's eyes' and such. At the same time, they frantically uploaded pictures and videos. More people knew that Lisa and Mrs. Jennie were going on a Christmas date now. The fans who wanted to see the two went to the usual hangouts like movie theaters, coffee shops, and all sorts of restaurants. Perhaps they could luck out!

The two, on the other hand, parked the car outside a French restaurant. It was very romantic, especially during Christmas. If it weren't for their special statuses and reservation, they wouldn't have been able to find any seats just by walking in.

The two had reserved seats by a hidden corner. They were mindful of their privacy and stature.

"Jennie, happy Christmas. I hope you like the Christmas gift." Be it Lisa's attire or posture, it was formal. It remained unchanged even when she brought out the gift – a piece of accessory inside an embroidered box. Who knew which one she'd picked from the heap she'd bought‽

At this moment, Jennie was stunned. Although on the surface, she received the gift calmly, she still felt a bit uneasy.

She had been thinking about the woman gifting her a present but had forgotten about giving one in return. Now that they sat there, there was no gift in sight. What should she do?

Jennie looked around. She'd yet to open the gift yet replied helplessly, "I didn't prepare a gift. I'll treat you for this meal. Happy Christmas!"

"..." Lisa was speechless. Should he say 'there is no need to' or 'thank you' at this point? Why did she feel that Jennie wasn't any better than the slow-witted person she was? Was it really good to ruin the mood like this?

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts of complaints. In reality, Lisa was very happy. As long as Jennie was willing to be with her and accept his gift, she was satisfied. Now that she was willing to treat her out and say 'happy Christmas,' how could she not be satisfied?

Lisa laughed happily. She looked at Jennie with unimaginable gentleness. Jennie's silhouette filled the bottom of his eyes. He was happy, devoted, and deeply in love.

"Thank you." Lisa softly held Jennie's hand and kissed it gently. Lisa was getting more and more used to this intimate action.

Jennie squinted her eyes, smiling. She believed her gift was pretty nice too.

The two ordered dishes. In reality, French cuisine was time-consuming. They paid a lot of attention to the side and main dishes, beverages, and desserts. Although it was pretty tasty, Jennie didn't like it as much. It was the mood that they were here for.

Jennie, though, could really ruin the mood sometimes.

"It's not as good as your cooking. Let's eat at home in the future."
