Chapter 30
“...Good job.”
“What?”
“N-No! I mean, y-you did great. This must be why our CEO overturned the entire loan shark industry.”
It wasn’t until Yoon Taeo finally let go of my shoulder that my mouth worked again. This psycho keeps coming up with new, messed-up ways to torment people. It’s not just insults or beatings that can make you feel like shit. Even after his hand was gone, it felt like a long, lingering trace had been burned into that spot.
“You never miss a chance to talk back, do you.”
“...I’m sorry....”
His tone wasn’t sharp, but I apologized anyway. I had been snide.
“Well, it’s been fun for the first time in a while, so.”
“...You’re having fun? But you didn’t even buy anything today.”
Well, everyone has their own way of relieving stress, right? I don’t know why Yoon Taeo was even stressed to begin with, but in any case, he had a few preferred outlets. Auctions were one of them.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t buy anything. The thing I came for is coming up now. That one.”
Ah. So he did come with a specific item in mind. I hadn’t checked the full list of auction items, but apparently he had. Following his gaze, I looked up at the stage. A slightly larger glass case than before had been brought out.
