Chapter 161 – @22. Suspect
Stalker?
Joo-eun’s words made me look at the incident from a different perspective.
I didn’t really think there was a stalker following me.
A stalker would mean someone following someone, usually with some twisted affection, against the target’s will.
However, it was hard to imagine that anyone would have affection for me in this company, or even if it wasn’t limited to the company.
Rather, it seems more plausible if it is a grudge.
Of course, I think the target is more likely to be team leader Jeong, but I couldn’t rule out the possibility that it was me.
“Yes. Are there any rumors going around about me in the company?”
I asked Joo-eun when I fell out.
“Yes? To you?”
Joo-eun’s face turned slightly awkward.
“It’s okay. If you know anything, tell me.”
“I heard someone saw you walking into a motel with a young woman…”
Joo-eun did not try to make eye contact with me.
“Who saw that?”
“My name is Doyeon…”
Who else is that?
There are a lot of female employees in the company, but there are only a few females I know by name.
Rather, it’s a little different from the story I heard from Team Leader Jeong.
First, let’s hear the story.
“Do-yeon said she saw you forcefully dragging a very young woman in front of a motel in Gwangjin-gu not too long ago.”
By force?
No matter how hard I try to recall, I can’t remember forcibly dragging someone.
If I said young woman, it would be Jiyeon or Subin…
“Didn’t a woman named Doyeon say that what she saw was correct?”
“Yes. I heard it clearly.”
“And was it you who spread the rumor?”
“Uh… Well…”
Joo-eun rolled her eyes.
“Actually, I have some circumstances… Heh…”
She stuck out her tongue and grinned as she spoke.
“You know my situation. I try really hard to be close to people… There’s nothing better than chatting to make friends with women.”
Team leader Jeong and Moon-hee knew that Subin was the one who carried her words.
“I was wrong. I have really committed a mortal sin.”
Joo-eun apologized by folding her lips into a strange shape.
“I can’t help it. We didn’t even know each other.”
“Really? Then you forgive me?”
“That’s a different matter. Anyway, I think my reputation has hit rock bottom because Mr. Joo-eun went around like that.”
“It’s not because of me… It was originally rumored…”
Joo-eun made an expression of regret.
“Usually?”
“Actually… You look a bit scary…”
Joo-eun said in a stunned voice.
Hmm…
“So?”
“There are people who are really scared. Especially Do-yeon.”
The name came up again.
“By the way, Mr. Doyeon? Did he say he saw me forcefully dragging someone in?”
“Yes. She was a very pretty woman, but she said it seemed like she had some weakness to go in so reluctantly.”
“He says he’s afraid of me? How?”
“I can’t remember all of them, but I’m sure it must be someone who’s on the wrong side of things, and I’ve seen people meet nasty people near the company before.”
What else do you mean?
It’s not that I haven’t met someone around the company, but I can’t think of anyone with a particularly bad impression.
Somehow, the word that she was spreading was malicious.
“Then my image must be very bad?”
“I think so, but not all of them are so bad. There aren’t many, but there are still people who are interested.”
“To me?”
“Yes. You take pictures, don’t you? Post them on the company’s SNS. Some people like the picture and want to ask for a picture. But…”
“However?”
“Are you saying it’s a bit scary to approach?”
It seems that I was stigmatized as a very dangerous kind of person because of someone’s slander.
“But I also really like the picture you took. When will you take a picture? I’ll post it on social media too.”
Joo-eun said that she sometimes spends money to take profile pictures in the studio.
Quality comes out as much as you pay for it.
It was not just to get satisfaction from Joo-eun, but to secure an external image.
That is why they say that they take pictures of a luxurious image, suitable for luxury goods, and always emphasize luxury bags and the like.
It was calculated and eager.
“Do that.”
I also like working with pretty girls.
With this woman, she seemed to be able to achieve pretty good results.
“But do you care? I think I can change your image if I come forward.”
Joo-eun smiled and said.
“How?”
She felt the need to do so, but I was curious about her ulterior motive.
“Um… That’s right. You said you made money from your investments. If you spread rumors about it, your image will change in no time.”
“Haha…”
I don’t even think about appealing to people by doing such things.
“But if I do that, there must be a price.”
Joo-eun again showed a laugh that hid her plot.
“What price?”
“Is there only one more master in the world?”
Joo-eun rubbed her thumb and index finger together and laughed.
“I wish I could buy you a bag… Um… No. A watch. How about it? I’ll give it to you cheaper than the market price.”
“Do you sell watches too?”
Perhaps you are referring to a luxury watch.
“There’s a route. It’s used, but it’s no different from a new one. Well, if you want to spend money right away, buying a new one would be nice, but a watch is a used one even if you only wear it for one day anyway, right? Hmm… Let’s see. I’ll fit in.”
Joo-eun, she lectured me about watches for a while.
“When you wear nice clothes like that, a watch is a must.”
As she listened to her, she felt like she really should wear a watch.
“But Joo-eun is very interested in money.”
I felt that way before.
“Isn’t it obvious? Who in the world hates money? Everyone who hates money is a liar.”
Joo-eun’s philosophy on money was very firm.
“I need money. There are many things I want to do and many uses for it.”
And she was proud of herself.
“I’m going to save money and open a luxury select shop within a few years. A lot of people don’t know about that, but it’s more money than I thought. How about it? Then you’re going to buy a watch?”
“If money is that good, would you like to do a part-time job?”
“What is it? If you’re talking about it, it must be real money?”
“I’ll give you money every time you have sex with me from now on. How much?”
Hearing my words, Joo-eun’s face hardened.
“You like playing with people, right? Like that game last time.”
She looked at me with a fight-like face and asked.
“Yes. I like it.”
Of course, there is more reason than that that she should give her her guarantee anyway.
However, it is not too wrong to say that she plays with it like she said.
Seeing how she was choking on money, she somehow wanted to do it.
“Okay. Then. Give it to me. What. I’m offering money, but I’m afraid you’ll refuse it?”
However, Joo-eun’s face was never a happy expression.
“I’m enjoying it anyway, so how good is it to receive money and even enjoy it? So how much are you going to give me?”
“How much would you like?”
“Are you really trying to treat me like a whore?”
Joo-eun’s face became more and more hardened.
He seems to have realized that what I said was not a joke.
“Okay. Then I’ll sing like a prostitute. One million won. How is it?”
“Overnight?”
Joo-eun did not answer my words for a moment.
I guess I never thought it would be this serious.
“Yes. Overnight.”
“No. 200,000 won at a time.”
“Ha… Really… Do you know that I want to throw water in your face and leave?”
“Did you call me too cheaply?”
“You’re doing it on purpose? You want to insult me?”
“I think so?”
“I don’t know.”
Joo-eun looked at me in silence for a moment.
“Anyway, there’s no doubt that he’s a bad person. You’re not wrong, Mr. Doyeon. He’s nasty.”
“Right. That kind of person.”
There was no excuse.
“Okay. Let’s do it. I want to get 200,000 won each for having sex with you in the future.”
From the beginning, there was no option for her to say no.
She was getting more than enough pleasure from sex with me, and she had to keep playing the game.
“I. I want to go in now.”
Joo-eun erased her bright face and stood up from her seat with an expressionless face.
“Oh. And can I get the watch tomorrow?”
“Oh my gosh. Would you really buy it for me? Thank you, customer.”
The face of Joo-eun, who answered by raising her tone, looked like it would explode at any moment.
It seems that she has a strong hatred for her.
It was fun.
For some reason, it seems to cheer me up when I am hated by a pretty woman.
After breaking up with her, I called her detective agency.
He asked me to find out if anyone was following Team Leader Jeong and me.
No time frame has been set this time.
There is no guarantee that an unknown stalker will always follow me or team leader Jeong.
If you don’t have luck, you’ll have to spend a lot of money.
I don’t know who it is, but I plan to get the price back.
That afternoon, I met Joo-eun in the basement studio.
“Why did you call me?”
Joo-eun still seemed to have her heart broken.
“You said you wanted to take a picture with me earlier, right? I’m thinking of doing it today.”
“Really? Okay. Then.”
Joo-eun put aside her feelings for me, and she accepted my proposal.
“But let’s take a picture wearing company clothes.”
Even though I was managing it, it was difficult because I was using a company studio, so it wasn’t too private.
If we dress Joo-eun in our clothes, have her carry a luxury bag, take a picture, and post it on her social media, it won’t sound too bad.
Of course, if there is a problem, the responsibility will be on Team Leader Jeong, not on me.
I used her casting card 〈 and her actress 〉 on her before taking her picture.
Not because she specifically wanted to film her and her adult material, but because she wanted to apply her settings 〈 Sensitive 〉 to her.
“Let’s start with a pose you like.”
Professional models can change the poses they want right away, but in the case of amateurs, there are poses that each of them is confident in.
So it’s better to shoot with a focus on those poses to get natural results.
“Should I change into that one this time?”
Joo-eun took a picture while changing her clothes with the clothes I had prepared.
“If I had known this, I would have brought some bags.”
Unfortunately, there was only one bag she was carrying, so she couldn’t take pictures of the various bags.
“Next time, I just need to spend more time. Shall I change into that one? This time, take off your bra and try it on.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because I think it would suit that outfit.”
“Um… Is that so? Don’t you just want to see my breasts?”
As she took the picture, she seemed to feel a little relieved, and she started talking like that.
“There is that too.”
I answered honestly.
“My breasts aren’t that big, what do you want to see?
Joo-eun slightly pursed her lips.
Team leader Jeong’s chest seems to have left her with some trauma.
Well, there’s no way she could easily forget the look in her boyfriend’s eyes that day.
However, Subin took off her bra as instructed and showed me her breasts.
“Hmm… Come to think of it, showing like this should be paid for.”
Again, what I said at lunchtime still lingered in the sediment.
“It’s a picture taking, so let’s pretend it’s a tie.”
“Chit! Okay. Instead, if you don’t take a pretty picture, I’ll charge you for seeing this.”
Joo-eun smiled and said.
It seems that he has hardened his heart. True, it may have dented her pride, but it was an offer she could not lose.
Of course, it’s hard to find anything as important as her pride in a relationship between a man and a woman, but her case was different.
And there are benefits to regulating the trade of sex and money in this way.
At least I have clearly declared that I will not get involved emotionally with you.
She accepted it, and agreed to define our relationship that way.
