Chapter 90: The Weight of the Law (2)
There was one thing I was curious about regarding Lee Si-hyun.
Did she perhaps hold a grudge against me? Was there maybe something she wanted to say to Miss Yoo Ha-yeon, who pursued her own desires while straddling the line between law and morality?
I knew that her business trip to Russia was partly for my sake. She had gone far away because staying in the country might’ve caused trouble in the political clash between her two benefactors.
At the same time, I also knew that Lee Si-hyun was someone with both ambition and deep affection. When your body and heart are across distant lands, it’s natural for things to drift. There’s always a chance she might end up prioritizing the subordinates she cared for all this time over her current mistress.
But I didn’t say anything.
Because I trusted her.

I was enjoying Si-hyun’s soft skin in the bath for the first time in a while, but turned my head slightly when a guest arrived.
“Oh, Ba-da, you came? Come in.”
