Chapter 34
“Are you seriously using that as an excuse? Just because someone’s not here doesn’t mean you can pin everything on them.”
I couldn’t keep the irritation out of my voice. The old secretaries, who were well past their prime and could be considered relics by now, pressed their lips together and couldn’t come up with a proper response.
“No matter how close the 3rd Secretary Team is to the President, isn’t it absurd that they were the ones in charge of his rut cycle in the first place?”
The news that Yoon Taeo’s rut cycle was approaching had forced us to convene an emergency meeting. Up until now, his rut cycle had been handled by the 3rd Secretary Team. They, along with the 3rd Security Team, usually dealt with the company’s more unsavory tasks. In other words, they handled things that weren’t exactly legal. If it was for the sake of Yoon Taeo’s personal safety or the company’s interests, they would resort to any means necessary.
“Well, at least we haven’t completely lost control of the situation. We can still start preparing now.”
“Oh, sure. Just give him some drugs and toss a few pretty Betas his way, right?”
“...That’s what we’ve always done....”
This old man is hopeless. He seems to know even less about Yoon Taeo than I do.
“When has the President ever spent his rut cycle with just anyone?”
At my sharp remark, the secretaries — except for those who were off managing Yoon Taeo’s residence — clamped their mouths shut.
“In the past, he only spent his rut with Betas he was personally interested in. I don’t know how the other party felt about it, but at least there was some fixation on his part. But now, there’s no such Beta around. So, what’s the plan this time?”
Yoon Taeo, surprisingly, wasn’t the type to be loose with his partners. He was actually a character with a strange sense of loyalty. Of course, the problem was that his fixation was always one-sided. Still, he wouldn’t sleep with someone unless he was obsessively attached to them, and that rule applied during his rut cycles as well.
