Chapter 60.1
Absolute Advantage
The chairman was about to be crushed to death by her. Although they were both alphas, Chairman Seo was at a different level. Indeed, she was a person who raised Seo-hwa as a leading conglomerate heir.
âIâll do as you say this time.â
Chairman Seo jumped up.
As if she didnât want to waste any more time, she threatened with determination.
âBut if you want to continue to borrow Seohwaâs power, youâd better stop digging around like this.â
âIâll keep that in mind.â
The chairman answered with a glass.
When Chairman Seo went outside, she drank the alcohol in her hand. It was a win that was somewhat uncomfortable.

ââ¦â¦.â
Haewon frowned.
None of the letters on the document caught her eye. She shook her head and pressed the middle of her forehead as if she was shaking off her thoughts, but it was of no use.
âHave you ever wanted to get pregnant?â
Haewon closed her eyes tightly.
When it is worth forgetting, Adamâs words come to mind and mess up.
âIâve felt this since we first met, but I donât think youâre an Alpha.â
It is not enough to touch Haewonâs secret, but he even notices her secret and shakes her heart.
âIf you want a child, tell me anytime. Iâll hug you happily.â
The sweet temptation tightened her stomach.
Why does my mouth keep drying? In the end, Hae-won stood up from her seat after turning off the monitor while touching her lower lip well.
âBora, letâs call it a day.â
âOh, CEO?â
Bora stopped typing and looked at Haewon. She was worried because Hae-won had initiated to leave work early. Bora carefully examined the complexion of Haewon.
âIs something wrong?â
Haewon smiled without saying a word, then suddenly remembered the plan she had forgotten.
âCome to think of it, we should have a celebrationâ¦â¦.â
âWhat?â
Hae-won replied to Boraâs question.
âLouis, he has been through a lot. So I thought, why donât we have a celebration party?â
At Adamâs house. She swallowed her last words.
Bora sighed quietly and quickly added.
âDo you have any place in mind? If you donât have it, Iâll look for it right away.â
âThere are some places Iâve selected. Will you decide the date after discussing it with Louis?â
âYes!â
Bora nodded vigorously.
While Bora was texting Louis, Haewon quietly walked to the entrance. When Louis, who was working in the office, arrived in front of the representative office, there was no Haewon.
âDid you call me, Secretary Lim?â
âOh, Louis! Letâs call it a day, and Iâllâ¦â¦.â
Bora blurted out the end of the sentence.
âOh, I didnât hear the reason why she didnât look energetic today.â
Looking at the place where Haewon was standing, Bora thought.
âHoo.â
Haewon let out a thin breath.
Breathing in the cold outside air made her feel calmer. But as soon as she raised her head, she couldnât breathe.
âHaewon.â
It was Adam.
He stood alone not too far away. Unlike Hae-won, who was disturbed, Adamâs smile was beyond imagination.
âI havenât been able to contact you because Iâve been busy these days.â
Adam approached with a nonchalant murmur. He held a familiar bag in his hand. Haewonâs eyes met the bag.
âYou left it behind. Iâm here to return it.â
Adam stopped in front of Haewon and held out her bag. Hae-won stared at the bag and apologized reflexively.
âIâm sorry, Adam. That day went by like thatâ¦â¦.â
Then, she couldnât speak as if the fuse had been cut off. She couldnât think of an excuse exactly why she went back like that that day.
âAre you nervous because itâs not a familiar place?â
Asked Adam softly. It was time for Hae-won to be relieved by his friendly eyes.
âBut it hurts a little. You were scared to be alone with me in my house.â
âItâsâ¦.â
âHaewonâs house is comfortable because itâs your house.â
Adam appealed his anger and held the bag in Haewonâs hand.
âFrom now on, Iâll only have sex at your house.â
Adam took the lead when Hae-won tried to apologize. Surprised Hae-wonâs eyes were fixed toward Adam.
âWhy?â
Smiling, Adam asks back.
Haewon was embarrassed and relieved. It was the usual Adam. At the same time, questions arose.
Adam as usual?
What was he like?
No, letâs not think about it anymore.
Hae-won shook her head inwardly.
She is now projecting her anxious feelings to Adam. The guilt of living with the fact that sheâs an omega.
Adam is the one who will faint if he knows the secret of Haewon. It is not Adam who lives with a mask, but Seo Haewon herself.
