The evaluation starts and all of them are focused when it comes to the trainees. Lisa can immediately tell whether a trainee is lacking or good. They have folders infront of them and they can put their grades for each trainee. They can also comment if they want to but the final grades will be posted on their LED at the lounge area the next day.
“She’s good” Jennie says in a low tone which is only heard by the people next to her
“I’m planning to put her solo” Lisa said making Jennie turn to look at Lisa since the girl finally talked to her properly
“Really?” Jennie said smiling while looking at Lisa not enthusiastic by the plan of debuting the girl solo but because Lisa finally talked to her. Lisa turn to look at Jennie for a second hearing the high pitch of her voice that she only does when she’s happy or excited
“You think that’s a good plan?” Lisa ask thinking that Jennie is probably excited by the plan
“You have a good instinct so I won’t be surprised if she’ll be your next big idol” Jennie said still looking at Lisa as she tries to converse with her longer while Lisa put her eyes back on the folder as she start to put down grades for the set of trainees “that makes you one of the best CEO out there”
“I’m far from being the best” she said still looking down at the folder
“Well I do think you’re the best. I have my reason for partnering up with your company but I also have another reason which is because of how good you established your company and I’m not bluffing” Jennie said since she totally mean it. She did signed a contract with them to win back Lisa but it’s not like she did it abruptly. She saw how Lisa’s company rise up and she finally have a reason so her shareholders and other employees can have enough reason to say yes to the project.
Lisa just nodded at what Jennie said but you can see how she appreciate what the brunette just said. A smile creeps on Jennie’s face as well when she saw Lisa’s face glow up a bit. She turn to look at the other set of trainees who are about to perform.
“Chaeyoungah” Jisoo calls out even though they’re far from each other cause they have Lisa and Jennie in between them. Rosie turns her head to look at Jisoo who’s already holding a pack of food “you said you’re already hungry” Rosie smile and mouthed ‘thank you’ to Jisoo making the latter smile. Rosie and Jisoo were texting each other cause they’ll end up disturbing everyone if they keep talking in loud voice just to hear one another. Rosie texted Jisoo that she’s hungry 15 minutes ago so Jisoo immediately texted her secretary to order some food for Rosie.
“I’m also hungry” Seulgi said from the other side of the table “why did you only bought one for your girlfriend?”
“Ya Kang Seulgi are you my girlfriend too? No” Jisoo said making Seulgi chuckle “and you keep talking to me like that.. I’m your boss” she said
“I know” she said not being fazed by it. Jisoo was about to turn her head back at the trainees when Seulgi calls her out again “Ya Kim Jisoo”
“You should call me sajangnim” Jisoo said
“It’s too long “
“It’s has the same syllables with Kim-Ji-Soo. Sa-jang-nim” she said counting it on her fingers
“So I’ll call you Kim Jisoo.. anyway who’s the one sitting next to your girlfriend?” Jisoo furrow her brows
“Jennie, Kim and Wang’s CEO” she answered
“ah… Lisa’s ex” she said in a low tone but since they’re talking with Irene in between them Irene turn around to look at Seulgi
“Ms Kang do you plan on gossiping for the whole day?” Seulgi leans back to her chair and take her eyes off of Jisoo while Jisoo chuckle on her seat
“No Ms Bae” she said looking back at her folder. Seulgi is kinda new to their company since she started working for 315 Ent 2 years ago. She’s closer to Lisa and Jisoo since Lisa was the one who hired her. They met when Lisa’s accepting different jobs back then like choreographing for different groups or person.. Seulgi was one of the permanent choreographer in a company and when Seulgi quit her job Lisa immediately offered her to join their company since she saw Seulgi’s skills. When she entered the company she met Irene and told Jisoo that the investor is actually really pretty but she looks intimidating. Jisoo told her about her thing with Lisa so she won’t jump too quickly. Seulgi on the other hand thinks that it is fine to have a crush on Irene without her knowing it since Lisa and her aren’t even together and Lisa doesn’t feel anything for the girl as well. Seulgi also told Lisa about it and Lisa just told her that she won’t meddle about anything and let Irene decide on her own.
The evaluation goes on till 12 midnight since they started at around 9 in the evening and because there are a lot of trainees as well. They also did their solo performances so they can just grade them in one go.
Jennie’s already tired to even open her mouth and talk to Lisa which the latter noticed. Jennie grab her water bottle but it’s already empty so Lisa grab a bottle of water and pass it to Jennie without even looking at her
“Aren’t you tired yet?” Jennie ask since out of all the people in the table Lisa seems to have the same aura and energy she has from the beginning
“We’re just sitting how can I be tired” she said making Jennie scoff as she lay her head on the table
“I didn’t hear you clearly cause my ears are also too tired to hear such things” Jennie said while looking at Lisa. Lisa quietly chuckle but Jennie heard it and by the way her eyes lit up she knows Lisa did laugh without lifting the side of her lips “you look pretty” she said not even controlling it from going out of her mouth making Lisa look at her
“You must be so tired” Lisa said making Jennie smile
“Yeah I’m probably tired that my mouth doesn’t control what should be kept in my mind only” Jennie lift up her head while smiling as she focus on the solo trainee infront of them
The evaluation ended at 4 am because of a couple of break time and also the amount of trainees as well as their group and solo performances. Lisa also commented on those people who are lacking and those who did great.
“Let’s meet up at Lisa’s office” Jisoo said once they went out of the practice room
“My office?” Lisa ask while fixing the sleeve of her coat
“Yeah, let’s eat. Let’s all freshen up first and do what you have to do. Let’s meet there in 30 minutes” they didn’t even let Lisa speak out as they walk separately. Irene also left to talk to someone on her phone while Jennie walks out with Rosie. Seulgi and Jisoo didn’t even wait for Lisa to catch up with them.

Lisa ended up going to her office to change her clothes and fix herself up. Her secretary also keeps going in and out of her office to put down food deliveries that the others ordered and as planned they all arrived at 4:30 while some of them like Jisoo and Seulgi was late cause they were playing video games as usual.
“Have you seen Irene?” Lisa ask Seulgi who’s standing next to her
“Why are you asking me?” Seulgi says. Lisa looks at her knowingly making Seulgi sigh “I saw her at the lobby still talking on her phone ”
“Lisayah” Rosie calls out with different food on her left and right hand “do you have more ice?” She ask since the ice cubes aren’t enough for their drinks
“I don’t think so.. the cafeteria’s probably close as well” she said looking at her wrist watch
“There’s a near store here you should just go get some Lisa ” Jisoo said
“Are you seriously telling me to buy the ice? We can just ask some staff to do that”
“It’s too early to be the CEO Lisa so you’re still Lalisa Manoban who’s made up of bangs so go and buy some” Jisoo said
“Ya Kim Jisoo-“
“Go with her Jennie” she said making Lisa look at Jennie who wasn’t expecting it as well
