Absolute Advantage - Chapter 37.2

“Enough. After all, you’re not my real sister, so you’re trying to solve problems by not giving me money. Well, money is everything, isn’t it?”

Ellie murmured with a brooding face.

Hae-won’s expression hardened. Ellie’s words stuck in her heart like a dagger. Hae-won answered urgently.

“It’s not like that.”

“Really?”

Ellie looked at Haewon, pretending to be sulky, and continued in a subtle voice.

“Then… Can you not tell my mom and sister that you’ve lent me money? And to other people!”

Ellie was particularly encouraged by the last words. The other person meant Adam. But she couldn’t say Adam’s name directly.

“You can’t tell anyone. It’s a secret between us.”

Hae-won smiled kindly as if to be relieved. Only then did Ellie feel relieved inside.

“All right.”

Ellie looked coyly at Haewon.

“Then we have nothing more to say, right? I have to go because I have an appointment.”

“You said you drank. I’ll give you a ride. Where’s the meeting place?”

Hae-won asked anxiously.

“W-what?”

Why are you so persistent today? You’re engaged to a nutcase and have a new personality?

Ellie just wanted to get out of Haewon’s side as soon as possible, and Hae-won’s concern for her was indifferent.

“Why do you want to give me a ride? I can take a taxi.”

Ellie stammered and asked back.

‘If it weren’t for Adam, it would just be a no-brainer.’

Ellie’s expression was distorted. Hae-won, who was watching Ellie, quietly stepped aside.

“Okay, you’ll be late, go ahead.”

“Oh! You too!”

Ellie left the representative’s office as if she were running away, saying goodbye to Hae-won half-heartedly.

Hae-won stood blankly for a while and began cleaning up the desk and surroundings Ellie had made a mess of.

‘Oh, he’s…….’

Coming out like that, a man was sitting on a bench in front of the building.

It was the person she met in the representative office a while ago. Just in case he was waiting for Ellie, Haewon approached him.

“Well, excuse me.”

“?”

When Hae-won talked to him timidly, the man looked up. His big eyes were moist with water. When she saw him up close, he looked more beautiful, like a woman.

Large eyes, a tall nose, and fine lips were well arranged on a fist-sized face. The thick double eyelids were added to it, reminiscent of a handsome actor in a classic movie.

Curly baby hair also went very well with blonde hair. The roots were clean, whether it was natural blonde, and the eyebrows and eyelashes were also pale.

He had a small physique and a thin skeleton, he was a man like a deer.

“Ah.…You.”

The man murmured.

The man’s voice was as clear as a boy who had not had a voice change, but it was difficult to understand because the vocal cords themselves had no power. The man responded with more strength, perhaps recognizing it.

“I met you in front of the representative office.”

The man’s eyes rolled toward Ellie’s company building. At the same time, tears that had been collected from the left eye flowed down.

Hae-won hurriedly took the tissue out of the bag and handed it over.

“?”

Perhaps he didn’t know tears were flowing, the man just stared blankly at Haewon’s hand.

“Wipe it off.”

“Oh.”

The man was belatedly handed a tissue. And he wiped both eyes alternately.

“……Thank you.”

The man bowed politely.

The moment Hae-won saw the man’s tears, her mind went blank. As Hae-won was panicking, a man fiddling with wet tissues opened his mouth.

“You’re CEO Seo Haewon, aren’t you?”

“Oh, yes, that’s right.”

Hae-won nodded quickly.

The man, who was constantly looking at a bunch of tissues in his hand, raised his head again. The white skin was red only around the eyes.

“I saw the interview.”

“Interview?”

“An interview in a weekly magazine.”

“Oh.”

Haewon sighed softly.

It was an interview with Adam, and it’s already in the magazine. She forgot because she was busy with work.

“Like Seohwa Welfare, you help a lot of omegas. I am an omega and I’m always grateful to people like you.”

A smile spread on the gloomy man’s face for the first time, and it was a smile like sunshine. However, he soon bowed his head and was at a loss as if he had committed a big mistake.

“……I’m sorry. That’s nonsense.”

“No, I’m glad it helped.”

Hae-won waved his hand.

‘More than that, he’s an Omega.’

Haewon glanced at the man.

She often met Omega women due to her job’s nature, but she could only count Omega men she met. Haewon thought of the closest Omega man.

‘It’s the opposite of Adam.’

Even though he was the same omega, he was a man who contradicted Adam from head to toe. No, rather, this guy was perfect for the image of Omega.
