Expression and Vision (Jenlisa)

CHAPTER 33

Jennie and Lisa shook their head.

"No, but it's a good idea. What do you think?" Jennie asked Lisa.

"Yes, my apartment is big so maybe you could live with me?" Lisa asked happily.

"Good idea", Mrs Kim agreed, and Jennie also nodded.

"It's settled. Then, after I finish the shooting this week, we can shift."

They chatted and finished their breakfast, and Lisa left for work and promised to have dinner together; Mrs Kim and Ella were leaving the city the day after.

Lisa sat in the studio, her laptop open, staring intently at the screen. She was reviewing the latest updates about her company, which had been making waves recently. The competition in the industry was ruthless, and as the anonymous owner, Lisa had to stay under the radar. Some too many people would stop at nothing to take her down if they discovered her true identity.

Just as she was scrolling through some confidential reports, the studio door swung open. Dahyun, cheerful as always, bounced in.

"Lisa!"

Dahyun called out, catching Lisa off guard.

Lisa, in a panic, quickly slammed her laptop shut and stood up so abruptly that she almost knocked her chair over.

"Uh... bathroom! I need to use the bathroom!"

She blurted out awkwardly, practically speed-walking past Dahyun.

Dahyun raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.

"Okay...? Weird, but sure,"

She muttered to herself as she made her way to the recording booth.

Once Dahyun had left the room, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she was being paranoid, but it wasn't just about protecting herself anymore-it was about keeping her friends safe. If anyone found out that she was the mysterious Owner of one of the most powerful rising companies in the industry, it could put them in danger too.

She returned to her seat, opening her laptop again, but now she had a message from Ji-Eun. She dialled Ji-Eun's number, fingers tapping anxiously on the desk as she waited for her to pick up.

The call connected, and Ji-Eun's familiar voice came through.

"Hey"

"Ji-Eun, what's the problem?"

Ji-Eun sighed on the other end of the line.

"I've been looking into some things, and Your Father has been playing dirty ever since we declined his partnership offer."

Lisa's eyes narrowed.

"Ji-Eun. He's dangerous. I think he's trying to push us into a corner so we'll have no choice but to partner with him. But we're not going to let that happen."

Ji-Eun hesitated.

"So, what's the plan? I don't want to make things worse by pushing back too hard."

"We have one solution,"

Lisa replied, her voice calm but steely.

"Here's what we're going to do. First, we will buy 60% of shares of his company through his company's shareholders and in exchange, we will give them the shares of THE PARK'S COMPANY, which had surpassed his company recently, so they will definitely buy it. Inform those 6 they will do it."

Ji-Eun nodded, though Lisa couldn't see her.

"Alright, I will. What about the media? He's been dropping subtle hints to reporters, trying to make it seem like our company is struggling."
