3rd Point of View

Part 10

"So...I'm Somi. I didn't see you around here before. You looked really young. Are you a Uni student?"

Lisa just nodded her eyes. But her eyes are not leaving the console in her hands.

"I just worked here. Been staying with my friends for a few months. Trying to look for a better life, you know. Be up there and hangout with rich people. Any tips on how to get there?"

Lisa paused her game. She finally looked up at the girl. She looked a bit younger than her. The girl can be categorized as beautiful too if you looked at her fair skin and bright eyes. But her smile didn't seem genuine at all. This girl will never surpass Jennie's beauty.

Lisa shook her head. "No."

"Are you sure?"

"What is this? Why are you asking me?" Lisa replied in a frustrated tone.

She never saw the girl in her life before so why is she talking to her like they were friends? Urgh..I just want to play my games! Somi, oblivious to Lisa's frustration, just continued on.

"Well, you seemed to be close with those three and I know they have the money. They are the heiresses of Kims and the Park's empire. That Ice Queen bitch, Jennie Kim even pays for your Celine clothes. Is she your sugar momma or something. How did you get in their inner circle? That's what I want to know. Come on, we girls need to help each other."

Lisa threw her game console away in frustration. She stood up abruptly and slowly walked towards the startled girl. A scowled firmly on her face. Her fists clenched tight ready to pounce.

"What did you say? Jennie's is what? Say that again?"

Somi just took a step back. "Hey...I don't mean anything by it. I'm just telling you what I read on social media. That she's a bitch..."

Before she could finish her sentence, or Lisa could take another step towards her, they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat at their side. They both turned to see Jennie with what the media state 'Ice Queen resting bitch face', crossed arms while Rosie and Jisoo stood behind her. Their assistants were standing nervously from behind them.

"I'm very much aware of what social media wrote about me and let me tell you...Somi.." Jennie looked at the nametag before she looked back up to the new assistant eyes again.

"They tell the truth. I am a bitch that can make you suffer in 100 different ways just because I can."

"Erm...sorry Ms Kim. I'm just talking to.."

"Is she your friend? Does she seem like she's interested in talking with you?" Jennie asked again, interrupting the girl in front of her.

Lisa just nodded her head. Gestured to Jennie and Somi with her arms and just uttered. "Hey...that's what I want to say!"

Jennie rolled her eyes but Lisa ignored it. See...that's what she meant earlier. Jennie really can read her mind! She literally asked the same thing she was thinking about earlier! Why can't anyone else be like Jennie? Then my life would be so much easier? She didn't realize she was still clenching her fists and it was now swinging dangerously in front of Somi's face. The sales assistant took a step back defensively, hitting and bringing the clothes rack behind her as she fell down to the floor.

"Lisa!" Rosie shouted in surprise.

"What? I didn't touch her!"

Jisoo pulled her back by the arms before Lisa could reach down to offer her hands to help Somi.

"Nope. Stay far away. You are not going to make it worse. Let her get up by herself."

Lisa just grumbled unhappily. She just wants to help. Rosie helped the girl up and pulled her to the side for a private chat while Jisoo requested for the rest of assistants to bag their purchases. She then called the security to bring the bags to the car.

Jennie pulled on her arms, looked at her up and down. "You okay?"

"I'm fine."

Jennie sighed. "We just leave you alone for a while and you can't help but get involved in trouble again. Why is that?"

Lisa looked down, shuffling her feet. "She's the one starting it."

"Where's your game?"

At the questioning she looked around the shop curiously and she pouted when she couldn't find it. "I threw it somewhere."

"Lisa..."

"Found it!" Rose suddenly said excitedly as she showed the game console in her hands.

"Thanks, Rosie. I love you to the moon and back!" Lisa hugged Rosie close.

When Jisoo called Lisa from the counter to help her look at the rings, Jennie took the opportunity to ask Rose. "So who is she?"

"No one. Just a new staff member. She didn't know Lisa. She thought Lisa was just getting lucky by snapping you as her sugar mummy." Rose explained. She was trying to hold in her laugh.

"Urgh...why am I not surprised. So you handled it?"

"Yeah. She admitted it was her fault. She was the one approaching Lisa first. Our maknae were just minding her own business when the girl interrupted her. She'll keep mum if she wants to keep her job."

"It's good that we finished our shopping just in time. I don't want to think about what would happen if we didn't."

"Yeah...Lisa still doesn't remember and we should let it be like that." Jennie said as they watched Lisa dance in glee when Jisoo displayed her ring fingers.

They were being careful for a reason. They loved this new Lisa. The old Lisa should remain as an old memory just like the accidents that happened a few years before.

Lisa pays for all their purchases as she promised. From the corner of her eyes, she watched Somi's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Lisa pull out her black card.

"Yeah, let that sink in your head. I'm their sugar Daddy and they are my bitches!" Lisa said smugly before she ran out the shop.

"LISA!" Three voices shouted at her back.
