Absolute Advantage - Chapter 82.1

* * *

Durrr. Dur.

The sound of the wheels echoed in the narrow aisle. It was the sound from a 24-inch carrier pulled by Sera.

The floor was bumpy and the wheels kept spinning. Eventually, when one wheel was caught in the groove, Sera nervously pulled the handle.

“Fuck. To set up an office in a mess.” Sera muttered with a disapproving face.

Now, the person should have quite a lot of money that must have been accumulated in the bank account, but it’s like setting up an office in a basement. Maybe it’s to escape the police’s eyes.

One of the two businesses that do dirty work.

They dared to do business with a sign as if it were legal, or they set up a business in such a deserted place and dealt with only a few customers.

The man was the latter.

At last Sera reached the iron gate. The door was open in consideration of her, who walked alone with a heavy carrier.

In the middle of a small room, the man in question was sitting on a wooden box.

Sera licked her lips.

A man with scratches and colorful tattoos all over the body, a man who smelled like danger at a glance. It was then her eyes went up on the cigarette smoke floating over his head.

“Why did you come to such a shabby place?”

The man identified the visitor without looking back. He rubbed the cigarette in his mouth into the box where he was sitting and raised himself. His body, which was big even when he sat down, gave off a noticeably threatening atmosphere when he woke up. The man grabbed his head with one hand and shook his head to both sides, making a clatter. And he smiled with a more refreshed face.

“The reason why our executive director Seo visits me is because…….” The man approached Sera like an animal wandering for food, “Body or…”

Slap!

The man’s face turned with the bursting sound.

The man smiled blankly with his hands on his red cheeks.

“Long time no see, this touch.”

“You pervert.” Sera murmured with deep contempt.

“Oh, it’s Vice Chairman Seo now, by the way. It’s been a while since I saw the news. Excuse me.” The man answered in a natural way. Sera let him down with her eyes that she didn’

“By the way, I guess it’s work, not my body this time?” The man rubbed his cheek and murmured.

“Go to the Philippines and investigate a person.” Sera’s words dragged the man out of time pretending to be worried. Sera waited with her anger under control. Anyway, she needed this guy now.

“We charge double for overseas business trips. My passport is blocked and I have to forge it.”

Drag.

Sera pushed the carrier toward the man as if she had been waiting. The man quickly stopped the carrier with one foot.

“Open.” Sera nodded her chin.

The man crouched down like an ordered dog. When he opened the carrier, it was full of money.

And a passport in it.

The man smiled unconsciously with his mouth open.

She was a woman that can do everything.

“Is that enough? Or did the ransom rise in the meantime?”

The man stared at the bundle of money in the carrier and closed the cover.

“I’ll get started right away, Vice Chairman Seo.”

The man answered politely. However, a gentle smile was spreading on his face looking up at Sera.

“I don’t think I can meet you because I have to go to the company building today. ……Yes, I’m sorry. Thank you for understanding.”

After the call, Hae-won leaned on the back of the chair.

The whole truth was a lie.

Hae-won stared blankly at the cell phone in her hand.

A short phone call with Adam on the screen looked like a prisoner’s number. She should be headed to prison. She feels guilty about every word she says to Adam.

‘I have no sense of shame.’ Hae-won blamed herself for being nothing short of a sinner.

Thanks to the fact that Joo Dong-min’s stock price manipulation case has been a hot topic in the media every day, Hae-won has an alibi for management classes.

She actively used this alibi to find the Alpha without Adam knowing. She visited the building where she met the alpha every day after work, and sometimes she waited until late at night for the building to light up. It was so reckless considering the possibility of a heat cycle exploding. It’s almost a gamble. It is said that when a beleaguered beast finds a way out, its whole mind is focused only on it.

Maybe she was in this situation.  The alpha was the only way out of this situation. So, she can’t give up even more.

She can’t afford to look elsewhere.
