“You look so free.”

When I asked, removing Park Geon-ho, who was hugging my shoulder, he grinned and lightly stroked my hair once.

“I went on a business trip abroad, so I should get this much vacation.”

“Wait.
Why are you sitting however you want?”

Park Geon-ho shamelessly stuck his butt on the empty spot.
I thought he would just say hello and go, but I guess he was determined to spend time with us.
Looking at the ridiculous me, he took the coffee in front of me as if it were his and took a sip.
This punk.

“Aren’t you being too harsh? It’s not like we don’t know each other.
After we met, we can spend a good time together.”

“You speak well.”

“Do you want me to teach you other things I’m good at?”

Park Geon-ho, who giggled as I stared at him coldly, turned his gaze to Kwon Jeong-han.

“More than that, Kwon Jeong-han.
I have something to point out.”

“Yes?”

Park Geon-ho took another sip of coffee.
It was my coffee.

“I looked around because it looked interesting, but I saw some problems.”

“Problem?”

“Why didn’t you stop the employee who approached Han Yi-gyeol?”

At that, Kwon Jeong-han blinked his eyes for a moment then nodded his head as if he had realized it.

“I see.
I let my guard down.”

“…what is it?”

I couldn’t keep up with the conversation, so when I asked Park Geon-ho, he folded his arms and tilted his face slightly.

“Even if they are a member of the same guild, you could be in a state of mental control.”

“Ugh, that’s right.”

Min Ah-rin was startled by the added explanation and covered her mouth with her hand.
I frowned as it was definitely the part I was off guard.

“Well.
Fortunately, the employee just had no problems, but there is no guarantee that the next person will be fine.
You should be careful with people who are exposed to the outside often, including guild members.”

“I admit it’s true, but when you say that, I can’t have anyone by my side.”

Now that I hadn’t been able to figure out how the person who targeted me used mental control, once I started to doubt it, there was no end to it.

“It’s true, too.
But I think there’s a minimum? You should be wary of contact with strangers if possible.”

“That’s right, Talented Han Yi-gyeol.
It was my mistake.
As the bodyguard, I should have paid more attention… I’m sorry.”

Kwon Jeong-han apologized in a neat manner.
Then I had nothing more to say.
It was also true that Park Geon-ho made a good point.
I sighed and looked at Kwon Jeong-han.

“It’s fine.
I was careless, too.
Team Leader, thank you for this work.”

“If you thank me, would you like to eat together?”

“It will be later.
Later.”

I’m sorry for the delay, but Han Yi-gyeol’s past was a priority rather than Cheon Sa-yeon’s past.

“Ah, Team Leader Park Geon-ho.
Did you hear the news?”

Min Ah-rin, who leaned her chin on her hand and looked at Park Geon-ho with interest, opened her mouth with her eyes twinkling.

“A very special guest is coming from America! I heard they had known Master for a long time.
Is it real?”

“That’s right.
It’s someone I know well.”

I pricked my ears as I took the coffee back from Park Geon-ho.
Had known Cheon Sa-yeon for a long time?

“So that’s it! Team Leader seemed to know because you had been in the guild for a long time.”

“She has a good personality and is very talented.
She is also a talented person recognized by Master.
As everyone knows, it’s not easy to see someone that was recognized by Master because of his personality.” (성격도 좋고, not sure what I have to use here as the subject because Park Geon-ho didn’t say it specifically but we knew it was the woman from the previous chapter, Chloe)

What was more, the person that Cheon Sa-yeon had recognized? Curiosity began to spring up.

“Who is it?”

Eventually, unable to hold back my curiosity, when I asked, Park Geon-ho pretended to be troubled for a moment, and then he smiled broadly.

“What will you do if I tell you?”

“…how hard is it to you to tell that and be so cheap?”

“Anything has a price.”

“Ah, that’s it.”

It was really dirty.
I would find out for myself.
Park Geon-ho, who was smirking as he looked at my irritated eyes, leaned his back on the chair and said.

“It’s only because it’s so hard to eat with our famous A-rank mercenary.”

“How do I eat with Team Leader in this situation?”

“I’ll invite you to my house, so why don’t you come? I guarantee your safety.
Come alone.”

“That side is the most dangerous.”

The more Park Geon-ho spoke, the more Kim Woo-jin’s expression wrinkled.
I also had no desire to hear more of that perverted nonsense, so I got up neatly from my seat.

“Let’s go, Min Ah-rin-ssi.”

“Yeees.”

“You’re leaving heartlessly…”

Park Geon-ho pretended to cry and wipe his eyes with his hand.
It was worth seeing.
Shaking my head, I cleared the table and moved to the elevator, and a large figure followed me from behind.

“…why are you following me?”

“Aren’t you going to the 23rd floor?”

“That’s right.”

In response to my answer, Park Geon-ho boldly said with a look of what was wrong with that.

“I want to go, too.
23rd floor.”

“Why are you coming to the 23rd floor?”

There was nothing there except my room.

“Well.
Why?”

“Go away.”

After all, he would come to my room to play.
As I resolutely turned around, Park Geon-ho sighed and put his arm on my shoulder.

“Don’t do that.
I am really bored.”

“Put it away.”

Kim Woo-jin slapped Park Geon-ho’s arm violently with emotion.
Thank you for cleaning it up for me.

“I know you’re free, but there’s nothing I can do for you…”

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

At the same time as Park Geon-ho’s gaze, who was looking at me, turned behind me, I heard a clear, familiar voice.
When I turned my head, Woo Seo-hyuk, dressed in a neat black suit, as usual, was standing there.

“Are you resting well?”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who sent a greeting to Min Ah-rin behind me, opened his mouth immediately.
This time, I looked at Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, who ignored each other, and received greetings first.

“Of course.
Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi still looks busy.”

“It’s the same as usual.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who nodded calmly, pulled out a file from among the documents he was holding and held it out.

“Take it.”

“What is this?”

“There’s an important guest visiting Korea in a week, do you know?”

If it was an important guest… Were you referring to the person Min Ah-rin asked Park Geon-ho at the café? Someone was known Cheon Sa-yeon for a long time?

“Yeah, I know a little bit about it.”

“There has been an official request that they want to meet Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.” (Woo Seo-hyuk also didn’t specifically say the subject here whether it was a ‘she’ or a ‘he’)

“Pardon?”

Wanted to meet me? Bewildered, I looked back at Park Geon-ho, and whether it was the first time he had heard it, he was touching his lips and making an interesting expression.

“…I don’t even know the name.”

Unable to hide the trembling emotions, Woo Seo-hyuk nodded his head with an understanding face.

“I think so, so I have also added relevant information to the document.
Take your time and look through it.”

That part seemed to have been prepared by Woo Seo-hyuk.
As I was about to say thank you, I suddenly grabbed Woo Seo-hyuk’s sleeve as an ominous thought passed through my head.

“I, Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”

“…yes.”

Woo Seo-hyuk’s gaze turned to my hand holding the sleeve for a moment, then came up again.

“Does Master Cheon Sa-yeon know about this?”

“He knows.”

That’s right.
There was no way he didn’t know, damn it.

“If you look at the documents, you will see… If you accept the meeting, you must meet up at the airport on the arrival date.”

“I beg your pardon?”

Needed to go to the airport to meet them? Even the staff I met at the guild café should be watched out in the current situation?

“Me? Directly?”

“Yes.
I’m not forcing you.
However.”

Woo Seo-hyuk paused for a moment and hesitated.

“Master said it would be better for you to go meet them.”

“……”

I could see why you hesitated.
Woo Seo-hyuk, who blinked a few times as he saw me contorting my face badly, added belatedly.

“After looking at the documents, he said that Han Yi-gyeol-ssi would make the same choice.”

“What is written on the document?”

“I don’t know about that part.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who had a difficult attitude the whole time, cut the line and drew a line.
I felt a will that I didn’t want to be criticized by being entangled with Cheon Sa-yeon.

I sighed as I stared at only the documents in my hand with a sense of uneasiness.
Yeah, what was wrong with Woo Seo-hyuk? The problem was all about the top.

“I understand.
Thank you for delivering it, Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”

“Yes.”

Just in time, the elevator arrived.
Woo Seo-hyuk followed us and got on the elevator.
The button on the 23rd floor and the button on the top floor turned on, respectively.
The top floor was the representative office.
Were you going to meet Cheon Sa-yeon again?

Once again, felt sorry for Woo Seo-hyuk, who worked as Cheon Sa-yeon’s secretary.
If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to hold out for even a day and beat him… did he make a lot of money?

Secretly looking at Woo Seo-hyuk, I came to my sense at the voice announcement that I had arrived on the 23rd floor.

“Well um, do your best for the rest.
Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”

“Yes.”

Kim Woo-jin, Min Ah-rin, and Kwon Jeong-han got off with me.
Woo Seo-hyuk, who had been standing quietly during that time, grabbed Park Geon-ho’s shoulder strongly, who was going to follow me.

“What?”

“Why are you getting off here?”

Woo Seo-hyuk knew that there was only my room on the 23rd floor, so it was natural to think it was strange.

“Can’t you see? We’re going to hang out in our mercenary Han Yi-gyeol’s room.”

At that, Woo Seo-hyuk looked at me.
When I shook my head to indicate that it wasn’t agreed upon, Woo Seo-hyuk frowned.

“Don’t bully people who are innocent, Team Leader Park Geon-ho.”

“Bully people.
It’s not like that.
Did you see me bully anyone, Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk?”

“If you are curious, I can give you the list.”

“Haha, the list? I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but is Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk really interested in me?”

Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, who started fighting naturally like flowing water, stared at each other with cold eyes.
Min Ah-rin and Kwon Jeong-han, who were standing next to each other, smiled and watched with interest, and Kim Woo-jin, as if not interested, pulled my arm away and told me to leave Park Geon-ho and go to the room.

Eventually, I sighed and intervened between them.

“I’m fine, Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”

“However…”

“We can’t keep holding on to the elevator the whole time.
It’s a nuisance.”

At that, Woo Seo-hyuk hesitated while pressing the open button.
With his slightly bowed face, I could see that he was struggling about getting off Park Geon-ho, so I was even a little embarrassed.
No, wasn’t he on the way to see Cheon Sa-yeon right now?

“I will check the documents as soon as I get to the room so don’t worry.”

“…I understand.”

There were already a lot of people, but I thought that it would be too complicated if Woo Seo-hyuk was brought into the room, so I pretended not to know and drew a line, and in the end, Woo Seo-hyuk nodded.

“Then work hard.
Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk.”

“Stop and come back, Team Leader.”

I gave a wink to Woo Seo-hyuk, who quietly backed away, and grabbed Park Geon-ho’s arm, who was squealing.
He wasn’t even a kid, really childish.
