《I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY MANAGER (JENLISA)》CHAPTER 3
Advertisement
"I've been searching for you!" Jisoo unnie said as she entered my dressing room. She was with a woman in her early 20's.
'Maybe this is the girl who begged her to be my new makeup artist.' I thought.
"Hello unnie"
"This is Mika, your new makeup artist. And Mika, this is the ace of this company, Jennie Kim"
"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Jennie Kim. And thank you for accepting me as your makeup artist. You really saved me from hitting rock bottom" she was about to offer me a handshake but I just lightly brushed her shoulder.
"I did this for Jisoo unnie, not for you" I whispered.
She looked a bit embarrassed by what I've said but you can't blame me. I'm just stating the truth. I don't trust people easily and I don't get along with others just because they look nice and they treat me right. I've done that before but nothing has changed. People who are evil inside won't change no matter how generous you are to them.
"Nice meeting you too, Mika. You can start tomorrow, just talk to my manager for more instructions"
"You can go now Mika"
I followed her with my eyes until she totally disappeared from my sight. I stood up and locked the door.
"I received the same letter again....but now it's written with blood" I started.
If there is one person that I trust in this industry, that would be Jisoo unnie. She's my sunbae and she is really a family to me. She knows almost everything about me and she is the only person who can stand my nasty temper.
"This is getting serious Jennie. Maybe we should open it to our CEO or maybe to the police?"
"I can't. It will just breed another scandal. You know how people react these days. They might just say that I'm making this up"
"But you're not making this up! This is dangerous Jennie. Your life is at stake!"
I have been receiving the same letter for a year but now I'm kinda scared because that person wrote it with blood and that person even sent a dead rat! I can feel how that person loathes me. Who could that be? I need to know who that is before it's too late.
"I know but I don't want to be the talk of the town again"
"Do you remember how you run into an accident? It is the same person who is sending you these threats Jennie. And that person won't stop until he/she sees you suffering"
"Jennie-yah?" I heard Lisa call from outside the door. Great timing Lisa. Jisoo unnie opened the door for her.
"Hello, I'm kinda..umm...how should I put this? Dad's calling me and I need to meet him for a minute. Can you please relay this to Jennie?"

She's stuttering? In front of Jisoo? Unbelievable! She's buffering in front of unnie yet she can talk back to me even if I try so hard to intimidate her?! She's really getting on my nerves. But she saved me last night.
No no no no no. It wasn't saving, I didn't ask her to sleep at my house. She was just too scared to go home because it was already too late.
"Sure" Jisoo replied.
"Thanks!"
"She's cute. Is she really your manager?"
"Unfortunately, yes"
"Unfortunately? Girl, she's stunning! She looks like a celebrity. Her appeal is hard to ignore"
I actually agree that Lisa is a bit different from the previous managers that I had. She has this aura that keeps on telling me that she came from an affluent family. When we go out to work, many producers tried to recruit or escort her but she wasn't even surprised. It looks like she was just collecting company cards!
"Why are you praising her?"
Now she's got Jisoo too. Damn her smile. It really lasts in someone else's mind for long. Once she smiled to you, she will immediately run in your mind for minutes!
"Because she's worth a thousand flowery words? But you know Jennie-yah, she seems familiar. It feels like we've met before"
"That's because her face is common"
"She's got unique features Jennie. Are you blind?"
"Why are you taking her side?"
"Oh I remember! I saw her at Paris. It was during Celine's fashion event"
"You must be kidding me"
"I hope I'm just kidding around but I think that was really her. She was seated next to the director that's why I remembered her face. She was worth watching than those models"
"Are you fan girling over my manager? For pete's sake Jisoo-yah!"
"Be careful Jennie"
"About the threats?"
"No, not that. Be careful, you might be the one defending Lisa's name next time" she even winked at me.
"NO WAY!"
"I'll be going. Don't trust anyone okay? But if it's Lisa, then you can give her your 101% trust. Her looks are enough to prove that she's trustworthy!"
"Stop kidding me unnie!"
"There's no CCTV footage?" I asked Chaeyoung who was sipping her iced coffee.
"No. It was all planned. That person is very careful not to make any mistake"
I know it wasn't just an ordinary anti-fan. I can sense that he or she detests Jennie so much. I must find out who that person is before he/she lays a finger on Jennie.
"This is way more serious than I expected"
"Why are you doing this?...I mean, Jennie doesn't even treat you right but still, you're doing your best to catch this person who kept on sending her death threats"

"I don't know why I'm doing this either. I just feel that I'm responsible if anything happens to Jennie"
"Are you starting to care for her?"
"No way! I'm just doing my job"
"Okay, okay. Why are you so defensive?" Chaeyoung looked at me as if she didn't believe what I just said.
"Dad!"
"Dad?!" Chaeyoung gave me a surprised look. I immediately covered my mouth with my hands when I realized that I accidentally exposed who I am. Dad walked toward us. He was holding his laughter because of what I just did.
"You are the daughter of the chairman of this company?!" I tried to cover Chaeyoung's mouth but she was too noisy.
"Noooooo, please be quiet. They might hear us!"
"You're right Chaeng. Lisa is our baby" he even messed my hair up.
"I'm not a baby anymoreeeee!"
"Yes you are. How's work?"
"Hectic"
"Really? Was it so hectic that you still have time to talk with Chaeng during working hours?"
"Stop teasing me. Why don't you give me the pass already?"
"It's just your second week"
"Excuse me, I was just about to go to your office Mr. Chairman sir because my father wanted to give you this" Chaeng brought out an invitation card.
"What's that?" I asked.
"An invitation card for our housewarming party"
"You are Mr. Park's daughter? I knew it! You really looked like your father a lot" dad hugged Chaeng.
"Who's Mr. Park?"
"My father"
"I know Chaeng. I'm asking why dad knows him?"
"He's the president of this country Lisa"
"WHAT?! Then why is Chaeng working here when she's filthy rich?"
"That's because she wants to gain inspiration for the songs that she is going to write"
"Really? Can she do that if she's just going to work as my assistant? As far as I can see she is more motivated to eat than to work just so you know" Chaeng hits me lightly.
"Yah! Lalisa!"
"Yah! Park Chaeyoung!"
"I'm just gonna leave you two here. Don't bicker with each other too much. You aren't kids anymore" dad said while laughing. We waved dad goodbye before we got back to our own work.
Where the hell is Lisa?! Is she slacking off now that I'm not roasting her?! I've been waiting for her for almost an hour but she is still nowhere to be found.
I opened my phone when the notification bell resonated. It was a text message from an unrestricted number. How did this person know my number? As far as I know only my family knows my contact details. I have a bad feeling about this.
"AREN'T YOU CURIOUS WHO I MIGHT BE? GO TO THE OLD STOCK ROOM. I LEFT A CLUE THERE. WHO KNOWS? IT MIGHT BE A LEAD."
I wasn't mistaken. It was the anti-fan who kept on sending me threats. This person is getting bolder. I must not let my guard down. He/she must be around me somewhere. Should I go and check the clue that this person had left? But it could be a trap...
Before I could think again, I already found myself in front of the stock room. My hand moved to open the door. It's a bit dark here and so I searched for the switch. I covered my nose because of the thick dust that covers the place. I can almost hear the fast beating of my heart. I admit it, I'm scared. I let my eyes wander around and there I saw a box on a chair. I immediately moved to see what's inside. It was our yearbook in middle school! How did it get here? I scan through the pages when something fell. It was the page where I'm in but what caught my attention is that the bottom part of this page was intentionally....reaped off?
I need to get out of here. I should go and find another copy of this. That is the only way to know who is the person at the bottom part of the page that was torn.
"Who's there?!" I quickly run to the door when I heard some footsteps.
Sh*t! Someone locked the door!
"Yah! Open this! I swear you will regret this! I'm going to find you!"
I heard her laugh. Yes. HER! The person behind all this is a girl! I heard her laugh like crazy and she even bangs the door.
"You can't find me...this is going to be your last day"
It was too late when I realized that this place is being covered slowly by a thick gas.
"Help!" I screamed although I know that it's quite impossible for someone to hear me. This is an isolated part of the building and no one will come here. Maybe this is my doom..but I'm still young. I still need to go for my comeback stage next week. I shouldn't have come here. I fell on her trap.
"Help me!" my voice cracked. My body is getting more numb the longer I am exposed to this poisonous gas. Nobody is coming to my rescue...my eyes are already heavy and it's getting harder for me to breath.
I'm suffocating...
"JENNIE-YAH!" I let out a weak smile when I saw Lisa knocked the door open.
"S-save m-me" she came to my rescue.
She came for me.
Lisa rushed unto me.
That look on her face...
she's worried about me?
