Weekly Chapter 2/3

Due to the dinner, the bar was empty. That’s the reason there wasn’t any jazz music playing there. A waiter approached them as they entered, but she dismissed him.

“Let’s enjoy a glass of wine together. I bought a nice one.”

She uncorked the red wine on the table.

“What else do you plan to do?”

“Huh?”

“You hurt me.”

Even when he mentioned that he had beheaded the subordinate Song Hayoung had sent, she cheerfully smiled with no change in her expression.

So far he had not beheaded her because he had restrained himself. Even if it meant decapitating President Kwon, he would no longer tolerate her misbehavior.

Did individuals not show deference to the victor? He had avoided touching President Kwon so that he could absorb his power in the future, but in case it was not possible, he should gradually take power. Entirely due to the woman.

“My life has become a mess since I met you, do you know that?”

“Why should I know?”

She sat at the table with a cigarette in her mouth.

“I feel unhappy. Why are you happy? And next to another woman.”

Her fingernails were trimmed. It was President Kwon’s preference. What attributes did this woman have that captured President Kwon’s heart? Song Hayoung was no different from the women around President Kwon. He thought that maybe the President had gone crazy. She was a different woman than Jumi. She fought hard to achieve the highest position. She had her own poison. Maybe that was why she won President Kwon’s heart.

Two glasses of wine sat untouched, neither of them having taken a sip.

“I felt satisfied when I received the President’s favor. He saved me from the swamp. The President is also good at s#x, so I gave up on love. I thought it would be best to have a baby to consolidate my position.”

“How long do I have to listen to you?”

“After the President’s m#nh#od whipped me all night, I left the hotel room with my body wrecked. That’s when I saw you for the first time.”

The woman threw away the cigarette filter, then took out another cigarette.

“I really fell in love at first sight with you, Jung Yoongyo.”

The woman stubbed out her second cigarette, which she had not yet finished smoking.

“I feel more unhappy since I met you. It’s all your fault. Because I spr#ad my l#gs for Kwon, but I thought about you every day. I didn’t want the President’s m#nh#od, I wanted yours. Even though you seem to despise me, I wanted you to be ins#de me.”

The woman wiped the tears in her eyes with her hand.

“That’s why you stole.”

“What do you mean?”

“The funds were embezzled without President Kwon’s knowledge.”

The woman’s face turned pale.

“You always believed that President Kwon could kill you. Even a child would know that your neck is in danger. It’s just instinct. The animal recognizes its hunter.”

“Yes, because my heart belongs to you.”
