Absolute Advantage - Chapter 19.2

The part-timer at the newly opened dessert shop was very handsome, and the cookies were delicious, so it was a shop where she became a regular.

‘It’s quite far from here, but it looks like you bought it to give it to me.’

There was also a gift-wrapped box next to the cookie envelope.

This was another store. She once went with Bora at lunchtime because it was near the company, and she remembered it was a delicious dessert.

In fact, Haewon didn’t know much about desserts. She only knew how to distinguish the tastes of chocolate, strawberry, green tea, and vanilla, and she didn’t know the difference between dacquoise and macaron.

On the other hand, Bora is a huge dessert maniac, so she always took her to a cafe or bakery after lunch with Haewon.

“Sweet things relieve my stress.”

It was Bora’s friendly consideration to add a little joy to the dull life of Haewon, who only went to work and did work only.

So she was sorry to keep her around more. She must be busy with her secretary’s work, but she’s paying attention to this.

Of course, Bora didn’t think so. For her part, jt was a heaven-sent job.

‘I should have given you a vacation sooner.’

It seemed like she couldn’t keep apologizing so Haewon hurriedly started work.

She was a little hungry after skipping lunch and working so hard. Hae-won took out a cookie from the envelope and bit it.

The sliced almonds in the dough were crunchy and tasted good. Somehow, the cookies seemed more delicious than usual.

‘Does Adam likes sweet things, too?’

Hae-won thought while refreshing her mouth with coffee.

Adam suddenly came to mind because of the sweet scent from the open cookie envelope. Adam’s reverberation was lovely, perhaps because he was an omega.

In addition to Adam, most of the omega’s reverberations are sweet. To quote others, it is said to be a sweet and delicious scent like ripe fruit.

When the heat cycle broke out, Haewon’s body smelled of sweet peaches. Sometimes even sensitive beta responded to her scent and looked back.

However, she has forgotten her pheromone scent for several years because she was being injected with suppressants, which temporarily removed pheromones.

‘Because you’re an omega, you carry a smell of rotten fruit. It’s vulgar.’

Moreover, Haewon knew that her body smelled terrible because she grew up hearing this all the time since she joined Chairman Seo’s family.

In addition, the omega gave off a unique atmosphere.

Haewon did the same. Her eyes and cheeks are reddish even when she is still, and her white and smooth skin is like a peach without blemishes.

“You look like a woman who’s desperate to be fucked up by Alpha. Are you in a rut all year round?’

However, Alpha Sera seemed to look different. Hae-won could not say a word in the face of the raw abuse.

As she grew up hearing these words daily, she felt like a sinner who was born as an omega. Now, when she stood in front of the mirror, she felt nothing but shame. Her character was always a weakness to hide.

Unlike the sweet-smelling Omega, Alpha’s reverberation was often expressed in lengthy sentences, such as the wind blowing from the open grass, the dense forest of trees, the smell of the chilly sea, and the smell of rain falling late at night.

This apparent difference allowed Alpha and Omega to grasp their opponents’ characteristics only with reverberation.

Another interesting thing was that, for this reason, even in reverberations without pheromone, the body reacts the moment it recognizes the other person’s traits.

It’s similar to how Betas get excited about people with attractive looks or voices.

However, Haewon was frightened by any reverberation of an alpha.

The moment she realized that the opponent was Alpha, the invisible gap between the opponent and her widened, and at the same time, she even feared that Alpha might hurt her.

‘Like the Alpha I met that day…….’

Haewon recalled the Alpha, whom she met behind the old building.

Of course, the alpha was very gentlemanly. No, is it closer to the attitude of an Alpha who has the upper hand?

“…….”

Hae-won suddenly straightened her head.

There is no reason to think of Alpha, who she will never meet again. Yes, there is a more critical issue. Hae-won pushed the cookie envelope to the corner of the desk with her thoughts.

‘I’d better see Adam again today.’

It was impossible to put another load on Bora, who was already suffering from Chairman Seo and her two daughters.

While Bora was away for a while, she had to tame Adam somehow. Considering that she was at a loss when Chairman Seo asked her to take the upper hand, Haewon was now completely swayed by Adam.

Though, Hae-won was not aware of this development.
