Chapter 51.2
Absolute Advantage
âThe easiest way to save Louis is to find the manager, butâ¦â¦.â
âThe problem is that itâs hard to find him, right?â
Bora sighed deeply at the lawyerâs words.
It was one day when she spent each day like a thin piece of ice would collapse. A black sedan stopped in the parking lot of Seohwa Welfare company.
âOh, sir. What brings you hereâ¦â¦.â
Bora, who came out to the lobby to receive the package, stopped when she saw Adam and Li Yu-yen. Bora glanced at Louis for no reason.
Heâs alone with CEO Seo, what if he gets jealous again?
Sheâs worried that Louis might get in trouble.
âI came out for business, but I stopped by because I thought of Haewon.â
Adam smiled brightly and radiated his affection for Hae-won.
Why does he look creepy when heâs smiling?
Every time Adam opened his mouth, the cold air outside seemed to flow inside. Bora smiled awkwardly as she patted her arm.
âI seeâ¦.â
Then Li Yu-yen approached and held out a handkerchief to Bora. When Bora looked blankly at the white handkerchief and raised her head, Li Yu-yen tapped himself on the cheek.
âYou have something on your lips.â
âOh, my.â
Boraâs face flushed red. She canât believe that she had food on her lips at her age! Then she added, swinging one hand.
âActually, we were all eating together.â
âAt this hour?â
Adam stepped in and asked.
He heard through Haewon that Louis is working as an office assistant at Seohwa Welfare. In other words, there is a possibility that Louis may have been included in the number of people who are eating now.
He is busy chasing the manager of his agency, and heâs eating with Haewon. Adam twisted his mouth into a smile.
âI was a little busy with work today, so I just finished eating. Oh, the handkerchief is not needed. Haha.â
Bora wiped her cheeks with her hands, rambling about her worries about Louis.
âItâs not there.â
âOh, is it here?â
As Bora kept cleaning her mouth, Li Yu-yen, who couldnât stand it, reached out.
âOh.â
The manâs finger brushed her cheek. Bora closed her eyes involuntarily. When she opened her eyes again, Li Yuyan was rubbing his fingers with a handkerchief.
âItâs okay.â
ââ¦â¦Thank you.â
Bora, who was watching Li Yu-yenâs indifferent appearance, blushed. The tenderness of him made her heart beat fast.
Whatâs wrong with me, Iâm being silly. To a studentâ¦! Oh, but he wasnât a student.
Bora blamed herself.
And then again, she began to worry about Louis. This is because she noticed that Adamâs eyes had become strangely sharp.
âCEO, Mr. Joo is here.â
Bora called Haewon.
Hae-won and Louis, who were eating in the drawing room, turned their heads toward the door at the same time. Adam crumpled up at the sight.
On the table covered with plastic, there was a tray of jajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, and fried rice. No wonder, the smell of oil was coming from the hallway.
âAdam?â
Hae-won looked puzzled and put down the plate. As she tried to rise, Adam raised his hand to restrain her.
âKeep eating. You said youâre having lunch now because youâre busy today.â
Adam smiled. Then he sat next to Haewon and naturally stuck to her body.
âHaewon, I never knew you ate things like this.â
Hae-won smiled a little shyly as Adam scanned through the table.
âItâs hard to eat everything at a Chinese restaurant when I order it aloneâ¦â¦. Itâs more delicious if I eat it with many people.â
Hae-won hesitated to answer.
In Adamâs eyes, Hae-won was just cute. At the same time, the reason why a part of his mind bothers him is that Louis was included in the many people.
âIf I knew you were eating late, I wouldâve brought a lunch box. Itâs upsetting to see you eat things like this.â
Adam sighed deeply.
âItâs okay. Adam must be busy, too.â
âIâm not busy at all. Youâre my number one priority.â
Adam wrapped his arms around Haewonâs waist. Hae-won gently pushed Adam aside, looking at other peopleâs faces. Adam stepped back unexpectedly.
âOh, the actor is here, too?â
Then he pretended to be surprised as if he had finally noticed Louisâ existence. Louis hardened like a small animal and then hung his head hastily.
âHello, Mr. Joo.â
âItâs not even the first time we met, so thereâs nothing formal about it. Please feel free to call me comfortably, Bora too.â
Bora, who was quietly watching, was surprised when the arrow returned to her.
âAh, haha. Itâs fine.â
Bora shook her head.
âWeâre going home now.â
Li Yu-yen watched the situation and tried to get Adam up. However, Adam struck Li Yu-yenâs arm lightly and clung closer to Hae-won.
âAfter watching Haewon eat.â
âEveryone feels pressured.â
Li Yuyen whispered lowly.
