“Your face… why is it like that?”
On Monday morning, the first impression So Dam left upon seeing Tae Joon’s face when she arrived at work was.
It was no wonder, as the faint blemish on his handsome face, which seemed never tiring to look at, was too visible to So Dam’s eyes.
“I dropped my phone.”
Tae Joon said, touching the center of his forehead nonchalantly.
Though it was likely to disappear in a couple of days, the bruise that had resulted from being hit by Seo Rin’s dropped phone was still faintly asserting its presence.
“Everyone is the same. President, do you also use your phone while lying down? I do that sometimes too. So I know the pain. It really hurts.”
Yes, it had hurt.
But if there was something different from So Dam, it was a wound caused by others, not by his own will.
“But how is the executive director? Since that day…”
“It’s not that I didn’t go to Seo Rin’s primary doctor yesterday for a blood test, but there was nothing wrong. No Ketamine was found in the blood.”
“Probably. When I looked it up, it said that the drug really leaves no trace.”
So Dam put down her bag, took out her laptop, and watched Tae Joon’s reaction.
He was the type to be strongly attached to his own things.
Moreover, it was a selfevident fact known to heaven and earth that he would never overlook this incident, as his only wife, who had no family, had suffered such an ordeal.
In other words, misfortune was looming over Jo Min Hyung’s life.
“What will you do now?”
“What?”
“About Jo Min Hyung. You’re not going to leave him alone.”
“Seo Rin told me not to get involved. She said she’ll do it.”
“So you’re just watching?”
So Dam asked with a stern expression. Of course, she already knew the answer. That Tae Joon would not leave the revenge of the man who touched his woman in the hands of others. Still, she just wanted to confirm.
Sure enough, Tae Joon shook his head, a smile teasing at the corners of his mouth.
“Of course, not. Seo Rin will do her part, and I will do mine.”
By now, she was starting to feel sorry for Jo Min Hyung.
The Seo Rin she had seen was not ordinary. With such a Seo Rin grinding her teeth and Tae Joon wielding a knife, could Jo Min Hyung possibly be safe?
“But you’re not going to think hastily.”
“……”
“Take your time… very slowly, I’m going to chew him up, even if it kills me.”
Hearing that, So Dam brushed off the goosebumps on her arm. She had anticipated it, but Tae Joon’s rage was of a magnitude far beyond her expectations.
The fact that he would take his time was a harbinger that it would become a more meticulous and grand revenge for Tae Joon.
Jo Min Hyung would probably be gradually eroded without even knowing what he was going through. Because that was exactly Tae Joon’s specialty.
By the time he was gasping for breath, he would probably notice his presence.
But by then it would be too late to regret. Everything would already be irretrievably ruined.
“What about that thing I asked you to look into about Haeyang Logistics last time? Can I get the data now?”
The retribution for Jo Min Hyung was just beginning.
At that moment, Jo Min Hyung was secretly talking to someone on his cell phone in his office as soon as he arrived at work in the morning.
“Throw away the phone I gave you after this moment today! And you and I, we’re total strangers. Got it?”
[Then do you not need more medicine?]“If I need it, I’ll contact you through another route. Just do as I say.”
Min Hyung had given orders, but the man opened his mouth again in a terrified voice.
“Who? What did he look like?”
[Well, he was tall and had a sturdy build. He had thick lines and looked masculine…]The description matched with Manager Park. If it wasn’t Seo Rin’s man but Manager Park, things might be a bit easier.
“I know. I know the guy. But you have to insist that you and I are strangers. That’s the only way both of us can survive. We’re dealing with big guys. If you admit the crime and get involved mistakenly, it doesn’t end with just a few years! Got it?”
[But he knew everything and chased after it. He already knew. Even though I feigned ignorance, the situation escalated to violence…]Yes. Manager Park. Where would that hot temper of his from the good old days go?
But that hot temper worked very much in Min Hyung’s favor.
“Say you gave the answer he wanted because he beat you. The words spilled because of violence won’t be valid.”
[What about the scene where we made the transaction, he saw that?]“Amateur, aren’t you? We did a transaction once or twice? It was a place without camera positions and also avoided the car’s black box. If he saw it, his two eyes would be all. Unless he took a video with his phone. And even if he did capture it, how would he know what we were dealing with?”
[Ah, that’s true.]“So, get rid of the phone I gave you, and if anyone asks, you and I are strangers.”
[Yes. I understand.]After ending the call, Min Hyung also smashed his phone under his foot.
