Chapter 89
“Stop? Stop what?”
Yoon Taeo couldn’t believe his ears. His keen hearing, far superior to ordinary people’s, couldn’t be wrong, and yet the words he heard were astonishing. Such negative talk was absolutely something Yoon Taeo should never have heard.
“I said I’m done.”
Baek Sieon finally burst into tears. Even with his voice thick with emotion, he repeated his intent. Taeo was the one who got hit by nonsense, yet he couldn’t understand why the hitter wore the more pained expression. Hearing the same words twice in a row sparked Taeo’s anger, which flared as he grabbed the wrist of Baek Sieon, who was about to run away.
“No? No way. I don’t know what you mean by ‘done,’ but whatever it is, it’s not happening.”
Yoon Taeo himself thought he gripped the wrist too tightly. Any more force and it might really break. Still, he couldn’t let go. Baek Sieon looked so fragile Taeo reasonably suspected he’d disappear the moment he was released. Above all, Taeo wouldn’t tolerate that kind of attitude. How dare you, to me.
“Stay quietly at home. Oh, wait, no need for that.”
There are limits even to insubordination. A secretary like that must never behave this way. And of all people, Baek Sieon must not act like this toward Yoon Taeo. Taeo pulled out his phone and called the head of security.
“Have you called, sir?”
“Take him home and don’t let him step outside.”
“Chief Baek... to his home?”
“Is it that house, no way?”
