Chapter 120 - 119. Bullets
"Good morning, Mr. Financier."
[What kind of work are you going to give me this time, Miss Diamond?]
Sarah received a grumpy reply to her greeting. From the hoarse voice, it was clear that Austin was still asleep when she made the call. Not surprising--even in the office, only the CEO’s secretary and one other employee had arrived.
After leaving the restaurant with a pending decision last night, Sarah rewarded the patient puppy--who had been staying quiet and pretty--with permission to accompany her to bed. Just to sleep, though, nothing more. Essentially, it was an invitation for a cuddle, and Hajin seemed to like it more than an invitation for sex--weirdly enough.
Fallen asleep inside someone’s warm embrace, evidently, helped Sarah with her sleep. She only had a little restless sequence, if her watch could be believed. Because of that, she woke up feeling refreshed at dawn.
She would have chosen to stay and enjoyed her early morning with exercise and a slow meal if it wasn’t for the look in Hajin’s eyes. She felt like the man would seduce her for a little round of bed exercise, so she decided they should come to the office early.
Because she knew she would easily succumb to the man’s seduction.
The shocked employee was the first victim, who almost choked on his hot instant noodle. The second victim of this productivity was Austin.
A financier only needed to wake up when the stock market opened--Austin had said before. Naturally, he chose to sleep at any other time.
Sarah found it fun to tease Austin, but she cut to the chase this time. "Have one of your people probe around about the possibility of investment for that filming industry complex."
There was no reply for some time, but Sarah could hear a rustling sound that told her Austin was getting up from his bed. His brain must be wiring up the probability of what Sarah wanted. [You want me--sorry, us--to invest?] he asked after a minute, sounding sharper than before.
