Chapter 251
It's like he's looking at me as if I'm a psycho, but I just smiled at him.
"It's a joke." "..." Even after saying it was a joke, his face remained unamused.
"I'm surprisingly bad at remembering names. What was it, the name of the former Chief Prosecutor? I can't remember. The guy who got hit by a Terminator on his way to work and died." Soo-ah answers.
"Kwon Tae-soo, CEO." "Ah! Right, Kwon Tae-soo! That was the name. I even personally went to the Prosecutor's Office and brought back a mother-of-pearl nameplate as a souvenir, but still, I can't remember his name. Too many people like that, I guess."
Kwang Seok-jin's expression grew even stiffer.
"What are you trying to say?" "Nothing much, just saying what came to mind. Oh, by the way, I’m not sure if you received it. Did you get the invitation?" He frowns, apparently unaware. Looks like he wasn't targeted because he wasn't high-ranking enough. It's a party for the very top echelon.
"Guess you didn't get one." Soo-ah gestures towards her briefcase and hands Kwang Seok-jin an envelope. He takes the envelope somewhat perplexedly.
"What is this?" "I'm throwing a party on my yacht, now that it's the New Year. Gathering people working hard in Incheon, having a meal together, talking business, that sort of thing. If you have time, why not come? Oh, and just so you know, the chief will be there." "..." "Accommodation is available, so feel free to schedule generously." "..."
He left the spot with a look of discomfort. Watching him, I pulled out a new cigarette. Soo-ah comes over and lights it for me.
"Speaking of which, how is the current Chief Prosecutor doing? Is he obedient?" "The matters you mentioned, instructed, and the greetings you requested. All are being carried out." "Hmm~. Completely subdued. To my side?" "It appears so at the moment."
I took a deep drag and exhaled.
"If they beg for their lives, it's a virtue to spare them. I'm quite merciful, you see." "..."
