Chapter 11: A brilliant day
As soon as the front door opens, I’m met by my family’s frigid stares. There is a cold atmosphere that’s a stark contrast to the pleasant, comforting smell inside the living room.
“Breakfast has been prepared,” says the kitchen lady, Chief Kim’s mother, as she comes out of the dining hall.
It looks like everyone was waiting for breakfast. But is that because of me?
Everyone has read the atmosphere; nobody looks like they’re even thinking of moving… Ah. That’s because they’re wary of Go Dae-man’s presence.
“Long time so see,” says a man I recognize as Go Dae-han, the eldest of the Gogwang Group leader’s three sons.
He was forced to cut his business trip in China short and return to Korea. He’s able to be here because Amazin1, the biggest company in China, has postponed its decision as to whether to do business with him, but he can’t stay away from his office for long. He looks anxious because they told him that they’ll have a response for him today, but he’s not sure what they’ll decide.
Naturally, I already know how things will end up. This contract will solidify Go Dae-han’s position as heir to the conglomerate and his position as a leader in the business world.
If we were on good terms, I’d tell him there’s nothing to worry about
I respond with just a curt nod. I’m tired as hell, so I can’t be bothered with the proper greetings and everything else.
