Absolute Advantage - Chapter 42.1

“It’s our turn. What do you want to eat?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m..”

Haewon scoured the menu in a hurry.

After ordering, the two returned to their seats after receiving the vibrating bell. It was time to talk as usual while waiting for lunch at a cafe near the company.

“CEO, do you have any concerns?”

“…Concerns?”

“You didn’t look so happy when you came to work.”

Bora gave a worried look.

Even yesterday, Haewon had a bright complexion. However, after only one day, she went to work with a haggard look, so it was hard for her to pretend not to know.

Buzz.

“Oh, it’s ours. I’ll get it.”

Hae-won jumped from her seat at the sound of the vibrating bell that rang just in time.

‘You’re doing this again today.’

Bora thought.

Haewon has always been the type to do things singlehandedly. Bo-ra sighed deeply in disappointment and rose hurriedly.

“C-CEO! Wait a minute, you can’t take it all by yourself!”

Haewon and Bora put the tray they each brought on the table.

Ciabatta sandwich with salmon, Caprese salad, mushroom soup, broccoli soup, and two cups of Americano.

Bora, who was cold, swirled the ice and bit the straw in her mouth, and Haewon drank hot coffee.

Before the meal, the two people, who had their mouths refreshed with Americano, exhaled as if they had promised.

As expected, there was nothing like Americano at lunch, and it felt different from morning coffee and woke her up.

‘You certainly look worried, but I’d rather not ask you now.’

Bora thought, glancing at Haewon.

When eating, Bora didn’t question further, and Bora took care of Haewon so that she could eat lunch comfortably. Haewon also didn’t want to worry about Bora, so she tried to forget about Adam for now.

“Oh, the actor that Bora likes. Did you say Louis?”

Hae-won picked up a sandwich and started the conversation.

Bora reacted like a ghost to the name Louis, so she forgot to eat and began chatting. She just talked with a light heart, but telling the actor’s current status through Bora was unusual.

“The manager is a total dog……, It’s a real piece of trash.”

“Really. How did you know that?”

The manager took all his wealth out of a single stock by drawing up private loans, but the stock fell repeatedly. The deal is said to have been suspended, and the possibility of delisting was also mentioned.

“The fan signing event was also held to catch the manager alone. It happened behind the scenes, but in front of people, he only showed a smile….”

Bora sighed deeply.

It must be frustrating to see that this is the situation of an actor she’s come to like. Then she suddenly remembered the actor she met yesterday.

‘The manager ran away?’

Hae-won asked in an urgent voice.

“Is that Louis the actor Omega?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Bora nodded.

As expected, there was no way that there were two Omega male actors who ran away from the president of their agency in Korea. If not, at least it’s the same agency.

“I feel like I met him yesterday.”

“You met Louis?”

Bora’s eyes widened.

“I went to Ellie’s company and met her. I gave him my business card to help him, but the problem is that I didn’t get his contact number.”

“Oh, my God.…?”

Bora’s voice trembled slightly. Soon, her eyes fluttered under her eyelids, and her calf-like eyes became teary.

“CEO, where did you leave your wings?”

Wings? What wings?

Hae-won, embarrassed by Bora’s strange question, paused. Bora raised her thumbs in both hands without saying a word and said calmly, “For now, let’s finish eating. Here, eat it. Miss, come on, come on.”

Hae-won nodded vaguely and bit the sandwich.

“He received your business card, so won’t he contact you soon?”

“I hope so. It looked like he was in an awful situation.”

“Sigh. I’m really upset. How did this happen…… What?”

On their way back to work after lunch, Bora stopped on the side of the road. Hae-won also stopped and looked back at Bora’s words.

“Bora?”

“U-uh, Miss……!”

Bora pointed somewhere and hurriedly lowered her hand. When Haewon tried to look over there, she flapped her hands and called Haewon.

“Why?”

Haewon leaned her upper body against Bora’s head. In the middle of the streets, where all directions were open, the two whispered as if they were having a secret meeting.

“There, over there!”

“Huh? Over there?”

“Oh, don’t make it too obvious!”

“!”

Bora covered her mouth with one hand and whispered.

“The guy in the hood. I think he’s the one we’re looking for.”

Hae-won glanced in the direction Bora pointed. The person wearing the hoodie hung around. But how did she know that it was from behind?
