It's evening.
While Im Soo-ah and Seo Eun-mi were busy carrying out my orders and the people dispatched from Goryeo Prestige were filling my house, I waited for the trainees to be delivered.
But he doesn't come.
It's certainly not that close from Ganghwa to Songdo, but it shouldn't take this long anyway.
Did something happen?
I could have just waited quietly, but I picked up the phone right away, wondering if I really needed to do that.
The target is, of course, Emilia Kang.
- … Yes, Your Majesty. This is Emilia.
"You saved my number?"
- Of course. Whose number is it?
"Do you know why I called you?"
- … .
There is no word.
"The trainees haven't arrived yet."
- … .
"I heard that you left when I clearly got home, but I still haven't heard anything."
- … I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Our general affairs manager is a bit of a fool. I think I got lost.
"Really? Is that okay?"
- Yes. I will take responsibility and deliver it to your house.
Emilia trusted me several times and hung up the phone.
"… ."
Something is strange.
It wasn't like this when I saw it in person earlier.
A little more… . Yeah. In SuA's words, it was not cheap.
He pretended to be polite on the outside, but in reality, he wasn't polite at all. It was as if he was looking down on me.
But now, it's strange that he's acting difficult as if he's found out about my weakness.
"Master, I think you should check this."
"huh?"
At that moment, Su-ah approached me holding a file.
This is the trainee transfer contract signed with Rainbow Miracle.
To be exact, it's a contract where I take over the contract that was made between Rainbow Miracle and the trainees. In exchange for 500 million won per person.
"While I was checking, I came across a clause I had never seen before."
"A clause you're seeing for the first time?"
I received and read the contract.
The same content continued on and on, until at the end, something different appeared, written in a different handwriting.
"…What is this?"
I definitely checked the contract carefully before signing it, but there are some things I've never seen before in it.
"… If the delivery is not completed, I have to pay 100 times the transaction amount? So Emilia has to give me 250 billion?"
"To be exact, it's Rainbow Miracle."
"…Why is there a clause like this?"
"Yes, that's right."
"… ."
I never included such a clause.
And Suah doesn't show any such signs either.
'If this clause is in the contract that Emilia has... . I can understand why she was so cautious just now. She suddenly had to pay 250 billion won in compensation.'
That's the weird thing.
whoever,
Why was this provision included?
'This clause is unilaterally beneficial to me. It's almost like a fraud. If something happens, Emilia will say it's ridiculous and resist, but if I, as the owner of the Goryeo Group, want to push through, then it will happen. If I receive 250 billion from Emilia... or something equivalent, is there anyone who benefits? Who is that?'
no.
There is no way such a person exists.
Let's change our thinking.
'... As Emilia, you absolutely must deliver the trainee to me. If you don't, you'll go bankrupt or your life will be very difficult. Then, wouldn't you be able to use this as a threat? If you don't meet my demands, I won't deliver the trainee. Or I'll interfere.'
The only one who could do that would be that stupid guy who volunteered to be a deliveryman.
"He happened to have brought the contract with him."
bingo.
"You're using me? Me? How dare you?"
"What do you use it for?"
I handed the contract to Suah.
"Tear it."
"…yes?"
"Tear it up, it's not necessary."
"This is the contract… I understand."
She accepted it without thinking and tore up the contract while hesitating.
Seeing that, I called Emilia.
She got it after five tries.
- … Yes, your highness.
"If there's anything wrong with what I'm saying from now on, tell me."
- yes?
"Who tampered with the contract? They secretly added a clause stating that if Rainbow Miracle fails to deliver me a trainee, I have to pay them 250 billion."
- That, that's it.
"He's probably blackmailing you by deliberately delaying the delivery. He's demanding that you give him something if you want the delivery to be completed safely."
- … .
"And given the circumstances, that guy is probably the general manager who was foolishly bumbling around next to you."
- … .
"What he wants here is… Honestly, it's impossible to achieve that, but he's a guy, so wouldn't it be your body?"
She was silent for a long time and then said.
- … I didn't know you could do the deduction yourself.
The voice is shaking slightly, so it seems to be hitting the mark.
"So that's not it."
- … .
"You speak well. I even called you myself."
- …What you said…is all correct. But, Master, that contract-!
"I tore up the contract."
- Yes? You ripped it?
"Oh. That's annoying. You're using me to achieve your own goals."
- … .
"That's because I took the women I bought hostage. Oh, I guess they've touched me by now? Anyway, if you put a man next to a woman, they'll do something like this. That's why I cut male actors and producers. Anyway, I'll take care of the contract issue, so just bring them. You do it yourself."
Emilia was silent again for quite some time.
As I was about to say something because I was starting to get bored, I heard a voice.
- Thank you, my lord. I will take full responsibility and complete the delivery.
"You know that's the second time I said that, right? Protect it."
- yes.
I hung up the phone.
I don't know how things will turn out, but I've torn up that ridiculous contract, so hopefully the worst that I was worried about will be avoided.
The worst thing that could happen here is that Emilia gets manipulated by the manager.
I'm being completely taken advantage of.
"Sua, how did the criminal get punished? Did you hear back?"
"Yes. We found them with a criminal group near Yeonsu 1-dong and eliminated them."
"Who is that?"
"The sniper shot penetrated the brain. He died instantly."
"Good job. Since it's dinner time, tell him to eat and come back. Charge the cost to Goryeo Prestige."
"Yes, master."
The dark plan of the dark bastard was also stopped,
The male protagonist was also killed.
Things are going very well.
+++
"Phew… ."
Emilia hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.
It felt like a huge stone that had been weighing on my chest had disappeared.
"You still haven't heard from that kid?"
"Yes, sir. It's still off."
Kim Dong-gi left a text message telling people to carefully check the contract and then turned off his phone.
It seems like he was trying to tease Emilia by running away, but it ended up helping her.
If he hadn't turned off his phone, he would have checked the contract and called her in a hurry, and in his desperation, he might have done something irreversible.
"Did you track my location?"
"No. As you know, the phone is turned off… However, the person has been released and the police are in contact, so I think we will be able to find the location soon. Above all, I think there is something you want from me, so I will definitely contact you again."
"Yeah. I need my phone to be on so I can take pictures or videos."
"yes?"
"It's nothing. Keep looking. And get it ready to go right away."
"Yes, sir."
The secretary left, and Emilia sat down on the chair, looking tired.
I let out all my strength and relied solely on the backrest, so the chair received the force and spun around.
She sat still and stared at the rotating ceiling.
"… My hunch was right."
Rubber fever.
It's definitely different from the rumors.
A loser who is always high on drugs, enjoys smoking and drinking, and has sex with women as if it were a meal.
He is a useless person who has no ability or ambition on such a topic and is of no use to society.
He's always had this kind of evaluation attached to him, but the rubber fever she experienced today was someone else's.
'Are you hiding your ambitions and abilities?'
I don't know about his abilities because I haven't seen them yet, but at least he doesn't look as incompetent as people say.
And ambition too.
'With that kind of personality, it's impossible for him not to be ambitious.'
He could have pushed through with the falsified contract if he wanted to.
The Koryo Group has that much power.
But that wasn't the case.
They ripped off 250 billion just because they didn't want to be used.
How could such a person not have ambition?
With that pride?
'I'm keeping it a secret. Until I get the right timing.'
If what I felt earlier was just a rough idea,
Now I am becoming more confident.
There's definitely something about Gomuyeol.
- Jiiing.
"!"
The phone rang.
The sender is….
"Kim Dong-gi…!!"
The one who has been pissing her off all day today.
He called me.
I just got it.
"You turned on your phone? You know that your location is being tracked, right? The strike team and the police will be there right away. Who will arrive first?"
- Uh, Emilia… Are the photos, Jun, ready?
"What picture?"
- I told you earlier… Without any panties, without any panties… Wearing a school uniform, and posing-,
"What the hell are you talking about, you fucking idiot? Didn't you hear what I said? Why would I show my body to a punk like you just to ask and be done with it?"
- … .
The motive was silent in response to the unexpected reaction.
I thought you'd at least be flustered, but what makes you raise your voice like this?
no way,
- You, you… didn't read the contract… carefully? If you did, you wouldn't be-,
"I saw you, kid. You were playing a dirty trick? What? 100 times the damages? I'm really speechless."
- But, but… You won't, won't, trade with me? It's worth 250 billion.
"That's what I'm talking about, I'll call the master and-,"
She was about to say that Gomuyeol had torn up the contract, but then stopped herself.
And then a good thought occurred to him and he smiled coolly.
"-I decided to solve it with my body."
- …what?
The voice of the motive was low.
It was a reaction as if I had heard completely unexpected and unwanted news.
"No matter what I do, I can't come up with 250 billion won. That's money we can't get even if we sell our company."
- What, just now… did you say… .
"So what can I do? I have no choice but to give my all to the young master and get rid of everything."
- What did you just say?
The reactions heard in real time are amazing.
Emilia answered with a smile.
"I'm pretty, right? That's why you're acting like this just to get a picture. That's why the young master readily accepted. To the fucking house."
- … .
"Wow. The chaebols certainly have a lot of money. They're going to give us 250 billion won in cash."
- … .
"Thanks to you, it's a fucking pussy."
- … Stop it.
"what?"
- Stop it!!!
"What are you talking about, you idiot? You started this yourself."
- You stay there and don't move.
"What?"
Stop.
The call was disconnected.
Emilia burst into laughter, feeling both amused and shocked at the same time.
"You want to come here now? You crazy bastard."
