"Taking over Manoban Entertainment..." Lin Chong repeated. He then replied, "Although I don't want to admit it, Lisa is indeed a very capable leader, no one can deny it. Plus, with Lisa around, the unfairness in the industry is currently being controlled. Without Lisa, Manoban Entertainment will just be another typical entertainment agency."

"The entertainment industry has always served the purpose of fame and fortune. Haven't you been trailing Jennie for the purpose of fame?" the man sharply pointed out Lin Chong's hidden desire. "The entertainment industry I want is prosperous and filled with competition. Not the entertainment industry that Lisa wants, which keeps everyone in their place."

"Plus, did you really think Lisa is just and fair? At least when it comes to Jennie, Lisa is no longer the same Lisa."

"I need to think about it," Lin Chong handed the cheque back. "After all, to go up against Lisa, I need some weight behind me."

"Up to you," the man said without a care. "Just don't blame me for not warning you. After I take over Manoban Entertainment, you will no longer have a place to survive in Beijing."

Lin Chong wasn't stupid, he wasn't going to let a few words scare him into siding with the man. But, right now was indeed not the right time to deal with Jennie.

She had already been labelled as 'Lisa's woman'.

Plus, Manoban Entertainment had just settled some chaos.

...

As the car drove into Hyatt Regency, it was already midnight. The couple silently entered their home. As soon as Jennie turned on the lights, Lisa stretched out his arms to hug her as he whispered in her ear, "Let me hug you like this for a bit."

Jennie did not say anything. She simply felt, the weight on Lisa's shoulders, were so heavy it made her heart ache.

Taking over Star King didn't make her happy. It wasn't something Lisa had ever wanted.

"In front of me, you are allowed to show your weaknesses," Jennie patted Lisa's back, "When you need me, I can be your most stable and reliable shoulder to lean on."

"I can't believe Old Man Suh passed away old and lonely...I suddenly feel a little scared. If you had not appeared in my life, perhaps in the end, I would have died all alone too."

Jennie could sense Lisa's embrace tightening around her. So she removed Lisa's jacket and buried herself in his arms.

"It turns out, loneliness is such a scary thing."

"You must be tired. Let's have a bath and then go get some rest..." Jennie eventually turned on all the lights, held onto Lisa's hand and led him to the bedroom.

While she was filling up the bathtub, a question suddenly popped up in Jennie's head.

All along, she had been well aware of her own goals. She had a dream; she wanted to become an international supermodel.

But, what about Lisa?

He had never mentioned his goals to her. He spent every day occupied with helping others get rich and famous, but never stopped to think or do anything for himself.

"What are you thinking about?" Lisa entered the bathroom and asked as he saw Jennie in a daze.

"I was wondering whether becoming the CEO of Manoban Entertainment was your dream?" Jennie replied.

Lisa removed his robe and stopped in his tracks. After stepping into the bathtub, he finally shook his head, "No."

"Then, what was your dream?"

"Becoming a screenwriter," Lisa laughed. He then waved at Jennie, "Come in."

Jennie smiled as she removed her robe and stepped into the bathtub. She then leaned against Lisa's chest. Of course, before she did this, she had to double check Lisa's injury, "In a minute, I'll help you rebandage it."

Lisa had achieved the dream that others wanted. But, no one knew what he truly wanted. Jennie's previous assumptions were right, 'Stupid' definitely had something to do with Lisa. Back when Lisa explained the story to her, she had already sensed that Lisa's expression was different to when he talked about other things.

"I haven't asked you, have you decided on the female lead for 'Stupid'?"

"Not yet," Lisa replied with his eyes closed, "I haven't found anyone suitable."

"Oh," Jennie replied gently without continuing with the topic. After quite some time, she suddenly said, "I want to have a look at the script."

Lisa looked like he had fallen asleep, so Jennie assumed he hadn't heard her. But, after the couple returned to the bedroom, Lisa suddenly retrieved the script from his drawers and handed it to Jennie, "Have a look at it when you have time. It is too late right now."

"Uh huh," Jennie nodded her head. "By the way, can you give me your login details for your social media account? I want to go look at some of the comments..."

Lisa pulled out his phone, entered his login details and handed it to Jennie.

Jennie had a quick browse on the phone before closing it up and entering into dreamland with Lisa. However...

...the next morning, Lisa's social media account once again exploded. Because underneath Lisa's revelation post, Jennie had left a message. Of course, she had typed it using Lisa's account, making him sound like he was talking to himself, but the fans quickly understood what was going on. The content of the message undoubtedly sounded like Jennie, "At that time, my shoes were too tight and rubbed against my feet as I walked. So, President Manoban said, 'Hop on, I'll carry you'."

The fans were fed a mouthful of dog food. Being able to witness the interaction between the couple so early in the morning, lightened everyone's mood.

"I don't care. I plan to be infatuated by this couple for the rest of my life."

"Oh Oh Oh! Jennie left the message at 1am in the morning. What were they doing together so late at night?!"

"The commenter above, don't be so dirty minded, a lot happened yesterday. Someone said they spotted them at the hospital, you can find photos online. Jennie rushed to the hospital bare-faced. It seems President Manoban was injured."

"What? Injured? Was it serious?"

"Haiz...I really want to know the latest news regarding them, but I haven't received any updates. This feeling is such torture."

Lisa's feed was filled with the cries of fans. However, towards his relationship with Jennie, they gave their well wishes and supported it. According to fans, the couple's secretive relationship was different to the hype created by celebrities. With one glance, it was obvious to see that Jennie and Lisa were meant to last a lifetime.

Actually, there were plenty of clues online that led to the idea that the two had been together from a long time ago. But, Jennie had never used her relationship with Lisa to help herself advance. This made many people believe that they were truly in love and refused to use each other for personal gain.

Fans even questioned a few so-called entertainment bloggers for their thoughts.

The response they got was, "Within the industry, they have long been in a semi-announced state. Simply looking at President Manoban, it is obvious to tell he is truly in love. As for Jennie, she too loves President Manoban. The couple don't put on any acts and is exactly how they appear."

"I have my hopes up for them. If you don't believe me, I hereby declare on this post that 10 years from now they will still be together and still as much in love."
