Chapter 67: Where Beans Are Planted, Beans Grow
"Have you finished preparing yourself, Secretary?"
"..."
The blaring alarm seemed to herald Lee Sa-young's entrance, such was his overwhelming presence. His self-proclaimed secretary, crawling out of the bathroom wearing a gas mask, was instantly overshadowed!
Cha Eui-jae, who had his head bowed, quietly sighed in relief when he saw the shiny tip of Lee Sa-young's boots.
'There's no way he wouldn't come with this much noise.'
It was a gamble, expecting Lee Sa-young to come to the bathroom. He now had that much faith. If something happened on his side, Lee Sa-young would at least make an appearance. Of course, even if he hadn't come, Cha Eui-jae would have managed with his acting skills.
Positioning himself so that his body was hidden by Lee Sa-young, Cha Eui-jae spoke with a still trembling voice.
"I-I'm sorry, Guild Leader."
"..."
Lee Sa-young blinked. He still seemed a bit puzzled, as if he hadn't grasped the full situation yet. Cha Eui-jae, discreetly poked Sa-young's stomach with his finger, signaling that Lee Sa-young should play along.
However, the sensation at his fingertips was more of a thud than a poke.
'Why is it so firm? Is it a rock?'
