Weekly Chapter 3/3

“We are ready.”

“I hope Heedong does the job well.”

“Don’t worry. Your subordinates will protect her.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you guys.”

“I know. You feel anxious because you care about her. I don’t think that’s a weakness.”

“It’s not what I thought.”

Cheolju slightly smiled. They pledged loyalty to him, which meant they would risk their lives. The same thing happened in the past when they pledged loyalty to President Kwon. He was prepared to sacrifice everything for Yoongyo. He could not betray his trust.

“We need to prioritize what matters now. Kim Kwangtae has been monitoring Jumi, but luckily, we discovered this early…”

Kim Kwangtae, Song Hayoung’s right-hand man, was the person who followed Jumi when she went to the pharmacy. Jumi slipped away because she had noticed. Song Hayoung. She deserved to die for what she had done before, but now she made brazen movements, she seemed to have lost her sanity. That implied that Jumi would face significant peril. Before she attacked again, he had to draw his sword.

“But you speak as though you haven’t experienced it before.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your misadventures with women.”

Jung Yoongyo was in no mood for jests.

“We have to do everything we can to protect her.”

There have been people he needed to protect, but this was the first time he wanted to protect someone. When she asked him to protect the child, his heart became steadfast. He hadn’t been able to protect his father, but this time he wouldn’t fail.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

The vehicle ride to the hotel was quiet. President Kwon’s birthday held significant importance as one of the year’s pivotal events. Executives related to Woosung were gathered there. There were also policemen. Even Choi Jumi’s father would be present.

Yoongyo lit a cigarette. Every time he tried to do so in Jumi’s company, she would stare at him with her big eyes. Even if he had a cold heart, he couldn’t do it.

When he finished smoking the cigarette, the vehicle stopped in the hotel.

The hotel where he met Choi Jumi. She fabricated excuses to conceal the fact that she was dating another man.

He boarded the same elevator he had previously shared with her, and then stepped into the hall where President Kwon was.

Song Hayoung’s visage stirred memories of Jumi’s countenance, complete with s#eds clinging to her lips. He liked that her elegant face filled with tears. Her body would collapse in his arms. She pretended she wasn’t sensitive to his kisses.

“Welcome Director.”

Song Hayoung smiled. That smile reminded him of Choi Jumi.

“Yoongyo sit down.”

“You’re here.”

Hyungjun greeted him. His ugly face revealed his yellow teeth.

“Why didn’t Jumi come?”
