Chapter 209
The man who said that flopped down on the couch opposite him with a snicker.
“Man, you kept me waiting forever. I’ve been rotting here for a week, thought I was gonna fucking die when you never showed.”
“...What?”
“The hotel staff kept glaring at me. Took all I had to stop them from throwing me out.”
Sung Jiwon let out a sigh of disbelief. He had noticed the receptionist sneaking glances ever since this guy sat down across from him.
The weird part was, instead of suspicion, the look in the receptionist’s eyes was almost... sentimental?
“Oh, and by the way, our cover story is that we’re long-lost half-brothers. It’s the perfect setup—cuts the bullshit and gets you sympathy points.”
“......”
The lunatic who had just barged in said it like it was no big deal. A laugh escaped Jiwon before he could stop it.
Even with the cap shadowing the guy’s face, he looked older than Jiwon.
‘Still... he seems a little too young to be someone from D.go’s exec team.’
Whether he was a scammer or some D.go flunky, Jiwon didn’t really care.
