## Chapter 326 – 32. I’m Telling You, It’s Real (7)
“I think you should go downstairs.”
“Hmm….”
That’s a bit sudden.
What’s going on?
‘It has been quite a few days. How many already?’
I guess with everything that’s been happening, there might be some things too overwhelming for Sua to handle.
I don’t even know the full situation, so how could she?
“What specifically is the issue?”
“It’s abou—”
Baekseol glanced at Gominyeong and Kang Hyeyeong before quickly changing her words.
“It’s a matter concerning the May 1st appointment.”
May 1st appointment…
‘Ah, shit.’
I remembered.
Gohayan!!
Wow, I almost screwed up big time.
How could I forget that??
‘Damn…’
I was so busy grilling RK-99 with Gominyeong and getting laid that I completely forgot….
We were supposed to meet in Seoul….
Oh my god….
I almost stood Hayan noona up. Phew.
‘The appointment is the day after tomorrow… So, her secretary must have contacted us to confirm, but Sua doesn’t know when I’ll be back, so she’s probably flustered.’
I could roughly picture the situation.
“Minyoung-ssi, I—”
“Go ahead. The verification is done anyway. We’ve done all we can here. I want to rest. I want to sleep.”
“…Thank you.”
I almost screwed up for real….
+++
– I can’t believe it. It’s only two days until D-DAY, and we can’t reach the young master. What kind of nonsense is this?
“I explained it already. He’s been secluded for a few days due to important matters.”
– Then you should go and tell him directly. It’s unacceptable to handle a meeting of the owner’s family like this.
“I said I would, didn’t I? But we can’t give you a definite answer right now. So please wait—”
– There’s no such thing in the secretary’s office!!
The voice boomed so loudly that it echoed even though it wasn’t on speakerphone.
The secretaries’ attention was focused on her.
“W-Why are you shouting…?”
– You have to make the impossible possible! What kind of training did you receive?
“…What did you say?”
– Put yourself in our shoes. Are you telling us to give such a vague report to the young lady? ‘We don’t know if the young master will attend the May 1st meeting because we can’t reach him.’ This is a matter of life and death, and you can’t handle it so carelessly. Give us a definite answer, yes or no! So we have something to report!
“…”
Sua was taken aback by the extremely agitated reaction.
Of course, it was a mistake on their part, but why such a strong reaction?
‘A matter of life and death…?’
She tried to put herself in their shoes, as he said.
What if she were reporting to Gomuyeol?
‘I don’t think there would be any particular problem…?’
Well, if Gomuyeol was in a really bad mood, she might get scolded or annoyed.
But a matter of life and death…? She couldn’t relate to that at all.
In the first place, why is the secretary being blamed for someone else’s problem? That didn’t make sense to her.
‘There weren’t any problems anywhere else.’
Whenever Gomuyeol made an appointment, the secretary’s office always coordinated in advance.
And when meetings between the Goh family members were scheduled, there was always a preliminary coordination between the secretaries’ offices, but no one reacted like this.
Even when Gomuyeol invited Gohayan on his yacht, the secretary’s office didn’t react this way.
‘Of course, it wasn’t a cancellation back then… but still, this kind of reaction?’
Is something… chasing them?
Or is it really possible to lose your life for a single mistake in a report?
As Imsua, who served Gomuyeol, she couldn’t help but tilt her head in confusion.
– Hurry, hurry! Every minute and second is—
Just as another ear-splitting voice rang out,
“Ah…?!”
Suddenly, someone appeared and snatched her phone away.
She reflexively looked over, and it was
“I’m Gomuyeol, who are you?”
– What the $%???
It was Gomuyeol.
“H-Huh…! M-Master…!”
“Who told you to bark so loudly? Didn’t you learn phone etiquette?”
The person who had been shouting at Sua immediately shrunk back and apologized repeatedly.
“I won’t be late, so don’t make a fuss.”
– I-I’m sorry!!!!
Muyeol immediately hung up the phone and returned it to Sua.
+++
Is noona really pressing them that hard?
Why are they shouting so rudely?
You’re demoted for a while, you son of a bitch.
“M-Master…!!”
“…What? What’s wrong with you?”
“Waaaaah….”
Was getting scolded that upsetting?
Imsua clung to me, teary-eyed.
Now that I looked closely, her hair and skin were quite rough, and her dark circles were incredibly dark.
She was practically a mess.
“…Did you sleep?”
“Uuuuu….”
It was quite rare to see Imsua so broken down, so I unconsciously reached out and touched her cheek.
She wasn’t a cat, but she was quite pleasant to touch.
“Look at your face. Can the chief of staff really be like this?”
“Uuuu…. I’m s-sorry….”
“It’s mostly sorted out, so hang in there a little longer.”
“R-Really…?”
“Not everything, but mostly.”
It was just a demonstration; no actual practical negotiations had taken place.
But just proving RK-99 to my heart’s content was a great achievement.
I could stop by here for a bit and help Sua.
‘If we talk diligently today and tomorrow… we should be able to get a rough outline.’
Honestly, I have no idea how much to sell RK-99 for.
Gominyeong said she’d pay whatever I wanted, but I can’t exactly ask for 100 million won per gram.
If it’s too expensive, it won’t be efficient, so finding the right price is important.
That way, it’s good for me, good for Gominyeong, good for the military, good for the group, good for everyone.
“Alright, stop pretending to cry.”
I went to sit in the chair.
“Briefly report what you’ve been doing while I was gone.”
+++
“Hmm.”
Sua had handled more significant things than I thought.
‘I just left it to her without much thought…’
Whether she did well or not, the fact that she handled things without running to me or putting them on hold was a bit surprising.
Since I didn’t give her exact instructions, I thought she would come running to me with anything large-scale.
It seems she took my order to ‘Don’t come find me’ more seriously than I thought.
‘Is Sua more daring than I thought…?’
I looked at Sua, who was barely holding on with her hollow eyes.
She was nodding off as if she would fall asleep at any moment, but she startled and straightened up when she met my gaze.
‘I thought Seo A-ram would be the first to entrust with autopilot.’
Maybe it could be Imsua.
The lack of absolute loyalty is a shame, but that’s not an easy trait to come by, and Sua is trustworthy enough.
‘She looks like she hasn’t been sleeping properly.’
She seems to have been working herself too hard.
She probably didn’t want to disappoint me in any way.
‘Everyone’s overdoing it these days.’
Baekseol and Sua, too.
It feels like the kids are increasingly competing for my favor.
Well, there are only two of them so far, but if loyalty fanatics like Seo A-ram or Seo Eunmi join in, the number will increase even more. That’s very gratifying for me.
“Concert… If we’re going to do it, we should do it grandly. It’s not like we don’t have money…. Meeting the mayor… I forgot about that. He’s coming here?”
“He made that suggestion.”
“No. Tell him I’ll go. The date is… Tsk. When would be good?”
There were too many schedules, so it was hard to decide.
But if it’s too late, that’s not good either.
“Tell him I’ll visit sometime in May.”
“Understood.”
“The rest… Well, you did well.”
“Ah… Thank you.”
“It doesn’t seem like you need my judgment? Do you want to keep doing it?”
“T-That’s a bit…”
“Heh.”
I squeezed and massaged her thigh with a mischievous look.
I was going to pat her head if she was at the right height, but I was sitting and she was standing, so I compromised with her thigh.
“Hang in there a little longer. It’s almost over.”
“U-Understood…”
“I’ll fully acknowledge the decisions you make this time. You’ll be a person of power. Doesn’t that excite you?”
“D-Don’t tease me…”
I chuckled and got up from my seat.
I playfully touched Sua’s chest and butt.
“I’ll give you a gift when it’s all over. You’ll like it.”
“A gift…?”
“Yeah.”
“T-Thank you…!”
“You’re already thanking me without knowing what I’m going to give you.”
Slap.
“Kya?!”
Her still plump butt.
The firm texture was excellent.
“Good work.”
“G-Go in…”
+++
I returned to the lab.
But Gominyeong wasn’t there.
“?”
“She’s sleeping inside.”
“Oh…?”
I went into the attached room, and the cold vice president was sprawled out on the bed like a corpse.
“…”
It didn’t seem like that much time had passed.
She fell asleep so deeply in that short time.
‘She must have been very tired.’
She lived a life overwhelmed with work, and then she came to Muyeol Land and had a lot of sex.
It’s probably natural that she’s knocked out.
“Good night, Minyeong-ssi.”
I was going to talk about the price…
I should just let her sleep.
