Absolute Advantage - Chapter 58.1

“…….”

– I’ll send you the address, so come as soon as you can. My proposal is still valid.

Tak.

The other party hung up.

Director Choi stared blankly into the air and began to pack in a hurry.

* * *

As soon as the day dawned, Director Choi left his home.

Director Choi pulled over in front of a cafe located outside the city center. It was a sophisticated design building with a wide glass on the southern wall.

There was no one inside the cafe.

They didn’t even play a common jazz playlist. Maybe it was because of the creepy silence, but the sound of footsteps resonated exceptionally loudly.

“You’re here, Director Choi.”

Adam was already sitting in the cafe, not seen from the outside. He looked like he knew Director Choi would come.

Director Choi was captivated by Adam’s beauty and bowed his head for a while.

“Sit comfortably.”

“……Yes, yes.”

It must be because of his outstanding beauty that he feels different even though he is shaped like a human being.

He was like a sculpture. In particular, the light that came through the wide window looked like a halo around Adam’s body, so it even felt a sacred atmosphere.

He felt like he had to hear the solemn singing of the choir along with the pipe.

“Our Director Choi looks very dark. I guess you didn’t sleep well”

“Hahaha. Yes…….”

Director Choi smiled bitterly.

Early this morning, he got a phone call shortly after the phone call with Adam. Dozens from Ellie, followed by the owner-risk team staff.

Director Choi ignored everything.

He decided to run away from the reality that has risen to a level that he can no longer afford. No, he’d say he transferred to be exact.

He couldn’t throw his resignation in Ellie’s face like he imagined every day, but at least he can watch the news on TV that she went to jail.

“The terms are the same as I said last time.”

Adam kindly added.

Adam asked Director Choi to stay abroad for a year. Adam pays all the living expenses. A new status has already been created.

“It’s a confidentiality agreement.”

A man who appeared to be Adam’s secretary put down the paper on the table. Speaking of keeping secrets, Director Choi realized anew what he was doing now.

“Is there a problem?”

Adam asked, leaning his head, as Director Choi was half mesmerized and just looking at the contract.

“N-no. I never dreamed that I would betray Seo-hwa.….”

“Isn’t it true that you are truly loyal to the Seohwa Group? I don’t think so.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Adam stared at Director Choi and whispered in a secret voice.

“Seohwa is a losing game.”

“What about JS?”

Director Choi asked, looking up gently at Adam. Adam raised one eyebrow as if to say something.

“No, you have to bet on me.”

Adam raised his index finger and tapped the paper.

“Because I’m the winner.”

“!”

He leaned gently and a huge shadow cast over the coffee table. Director Choi seemed to be out of breath for a moment as Adam’s words sounded like absolute truth.

“I’m going to make both Seohwa and JS mine.”

“……!”

He heard that he was ignored by both Seo-hwa and JS because he was an omega, but in fact, Joo Adam was a criminal. He must have been an extraordinary figure just by digging into Ellie’s past.

Is he really an omega…?

On the surface, he was indistinguishable from other alpha. And when he had a face-to-face conversation, he was completely fascinated by his charisma.

In any case, Adam was the only lifeline for Director Choi, who was pushed to the brink due to the issue of the youngest girl. Alpha or Omega was not important.

“You will only stay abroad for a year.”

Adam spoke in a soft voice and removed his hand from the paper. As he beckoned, Li Yuyen took out a fountain pen and handed it to Director Choi. As soon as Director Choi received the fountain pen, he scribbled his autograph on the memorandum.

“Then it’ll be all organized.”

“Yes.”

Director Choi shook his head.

Does he want to go all-in of his future to Seo Ellie or fold? In fact, the latter did not exist as an option.

It was Adam who made it possible.

She held his own weakness, and he was the only one who could help him. It was a lifetime gamble for Director Choi.

Adam picked up a paper with Director Choi’s autograph. The contract fluttered back when he pulled his wrist.

“The last card on the poker is called a river.”

“What?”

Adam continued, ignoring Choi’s question.

“What is the etymology? Maybe a river in the sense of crossing an irreversible river?”

“…….”

“Oh, this is just my guess, so don’t take it seriously.”

Adam laughed.
