Absolute Advantage - Chapter 56.1

“Hmm….”

Haewon closed her eyes tightly.

But nothing happened. When Hae-won opened his eyes slightly, Adam was smiling at her from a distance.

“I just asked.”

Adam removed his hand and got up completely. He sat straight down and stared at Haewon with her chin on his right hand.

“I guess you were looking forward to it”

“What…?”

“Sex.”

“!”

Adam’s blatant expression burned her face. Hae-won cleared her messy hair and sat a little apart from his side.

“Haewon, you look so weird today”

“…….”

“Why are you so nervous?”

“……Adam, you’re strange today.”

“Is that so?”

Adam tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

“I’m always the same.”

Adam frankly glanced down at Haewon’s body. The area where his eyes touched seemed to throb.

“When I see you, I think differently and I want to make you pregnant.”

“……I’m sorry I can’t.”

Hae-won answered as if nothing had happened. And she leapt to her feet.

“I’m sorry. I think I have to go. I’m not feeling well.….”

It wasn’t a lie.

Her body started to get a slight fever.

Why did I keep my guard down the whole time.

Omegas can always be found out. Heats always came unexpectedly. Especially when she’s with this guy.

“Haewon.”

Adam approached Haewon. He swept Hae-won’s cheek with the back of his finger. And whispered softly in her ear.

“If you want a child, tell me anytime. I’ll hug you happily.”

Haewon clenched his fist.

“What Haewon is thinking right now? I can do it all for you.’

For the first time in Haerogak, she remembered the conversation that they had alone. At the same time, her lower abdomen throbbed pleasantly.

Shit.

Hae-won pushed Adam’s body so hard that she felt it was too much. But Adam didn’t budge.

A breathtaking silence ensued.

When Adam moved his arm, Hae-won instinctively shrank. Adam glanced at Haewon and took out her cell phone and grabbed it.

“I’ll take you home.”

“……No, I can take a taxi.”

Haewon shook her head.

And she headed to the hallway as if running away. When the door was opened, the butterfly procession continued endlessly. Haewon passed the path made of butterflies and turned the handle.

She could feel an eerie stare from behind.

Haewon climbed into the elevator without looking back.

——————

“Haa….”

As soon as the elevator door closed, Hae-won’s body leaning against the glass slipped.

Before she knew it, the sky was completely dark.

Why are you just letting me go?

Hae-won held onto her throbbing lower stomach and thought.

She thought she knew why.

The eyes that looked right through her were full of confidence. Confidence that wherever she runs, he can find her.

“Her bag, she left it behind.”

Adam, standing far away and watching Haewon running away, found Haewon’s bag in the corner of the sofa.

Will she come back?

When he recalled Hae-won’s expression, he didn’t think she would come back.

“I don’t know why she was so scared.”

Did he stress her too hard?

Adam shrugged his shoulders and laid Haewon’s bag down on the table. Then he went out to the terrace and called somewhere.

“Is the Seo Ellie investigation over?”

– Yes.

Li Yu-yen replied.

“Let’s visit Director Choi today.”

Director Choi was the general manager of the Seohwa Group Owner Risk Team. However, it is only a façade, but in reality, it was a team dedicated to Seo Ellie’s troubles.

Even Chairman Seo could not fully understand the internal situation. In particular, the work stress of the employees was outside of her concern.

He would say.

Selection and concentration.

Chairman Seo’s focus on serious issues was a golden opportunity for Adam. If he picks out the vulnerabilities she has neglected, the big company called Seo-hwa will finally start to shake from its roots.

Haewon, who has lost her place, will rely more on him if Seohwa disappears. What better plan is there?

Late at night.

When the lights that lit up the city, people who were not yet asleep gathered at Mr. Lee’s house.

Mr. Lee, who entered Korea more than two years ago, operated poker houses nationwide. Today’s place was a luxury penthouse located in central Seoul.

“Is it here?”

After getting out of the car, Ellie took off her sunglasses. Since it was a high-rise building, there was no end even if she looked up. She entered the top floor guided by a bodyguard.

“Nice to meet you, CEO Seo.”

Mr. Lee welcomed Ellie.

“I’m looking forward to today’s game.”

Ellie replied with a grin.
