THE WITCH CEO (JENLISA)

Chapter 40 (She was Naive)

(JENNIE'S POV.)

Jennie woke up feeling light.

When she climbed down the bed, she saw the note Lisa left.

(I have to go to the company. Eat before you leave the house. I’ve already cooked food for you. Your clothes are already prepared beforehand. Take care.)

Jennie smiled and kissed the note.

She took a shower while humming tunes. She grabbed the clothes Lisa prepared for her. She was smiling brightly until she saw the clothes. It was a long-sleeve turtle neck blouse and a long pants.

Jennie wanted to cry.

'This is definitely bullying ahh. I will look like I’m a nun-in-training. Aiyaa-'

The clothes Lisa prepared was very—old fashioned. The people could only see her face and hands.

The rest of her body was covered with clothes. It was even worse than her normal clothes she wore every day at work.

Although her previous clothes could be considered stiff and lifeless, at least, it could still be considered as a standard working outfit for a 21st century woman.

'This is not Ancient Korea. Showing a little bit of skin is normal for Pete’s sake!!' Jennie grudgingly wore the clothes and went downstairs to eat her breakfast.

Instead of tying her hair in a bun, she tied it in ponytail. After she ate, she immediately went towards the door.

When she opened it, she was startled to see a man standing in front of her unit.

The man was holding an envelope. When he saw Jennie, he went into daze. He just foolishly stared at her.

"Excuse me?"
The man was startled. He blushed.

After regaining his sanity, he asked,

"Miss Kim Jennie?"

"Yeah.."

He immediately gave the envelope and gave her the digital pen.

"Please write your name here and sign it here."

She could feel that delivery man was staring at her face. She decided to feigned ignorance.

Jennie received the envelope and signed her name.

"Thank you."

The delivery man nodded and turned around. She saw that his ears and neck were brightly red.

'What is wrong with him?' She was puzzled.

When she arrived at the company, she could feel the stares of her employees. They were looking at her intensely.

Jennie blamed Lisa. She knew that they were staring at her because of her old-fashioned outfit.

Little did she know
her employees were staring at her in awe.

They were already accustomed to seeing their CEO wearing old-fashioned clothes but they felt that there was something different today.

Although Jennie’s clothes were even more old fashioned than before, still, there was a hint of seduction in her aura.

The way her hips twisted, the way her body moved and the way her hair swayed, it exuded allure and seduction.

Jennie was currently oozing with sex appeal. The men and women could not help but stare at her as she passed in front of them.

Jennie did not notice everything because she was still busy cursing Lisa inside her heart. She arrived at her office and sat on the chair.

She remembered the envelope. She opened it.

When she saw the pictures, her body froze. The pictures fell on the table.

It was Lisa and a nameless woman. They were inside a restaurant.

Lisa had a small smile on her face while the woman whispered something in Lisa's ear. She tried to control her emotions but she could not stop.

*drip* *drip* *drip*

Jennie couldn’t help but cry. Tears slowly streamed down on her face. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Esther suddenly entered the room.

"Madam, the—–"

Esther froze when she saw their Witch CEO crying silently. Her words were stuck in her throat. She gaped as she stared foolishly at Jennie.

Jennie opened her eyes and whipped her head towards Esther.

Her face was void with any emotions. As if the woman who cried was not her. She calmly said,

"Out."

That one word was enough to send chills down Esthee’s spine.

Esther immediately nodded and turned towards the door. As if she was chased by a demon, esther ran while her body shook heavily.

After Esther left, Jennie felt like her body turn into mush.

She smiled painfully and stared outside the window. She caressed her abdomen and whispered,

"Little Bump. Seems like Mommy and Daddy will really separate after five months. Do you hate Mommy? Mommy thought she could endure everything. That as long as Mommy loves Daddy, everything would be fine. But Mommy was wrong. Mommy could not endure sharing Daddy with other women. So, Mommy thought that we should just leave Daddy and let him find his own happiness. Little Bump, Mommy is sorry. She cannot give you a complete family. But rest assured, Mommy will never leave you. Mommy will love you unconditionally even if it’s just the two of us."

She thought that her love was enough for both of them. But she was wrong.

Lisa wanted her. But she did not love her. She thought that as long as Lisa cared for her, it would be okay.

That as long as she occupied even a tiny spot inside his heart, she would be contented. That as long as she could stay by Lisa's side, she wouldn’t want anything— that she wouldn’t need anything.

But again.. She was wrong. She naively thought that she could endure… But she couldn’t.

She realized that she was a nasty creature. That she was a possessive bitch.

So possessive that she wanted to lock Lisa inside the room.

So, Lisa could only see her… She could only touch her… She could only hug her… She could only kiss her… and she could only make love to her— only her, no one else. She was not contented being in one sided love.

She wanted Lisa . She wanted her love… but she could not force her… because you can never force love. Forcing someone to love you hurts more than letting them go.

A forced love is not 'love' at all. No matter what you do, it wouldn’t last long. Like a sand castle near the sea… It would crumble… unable to withstand the waves.

Jennies sighed and dried her tears.
