CHAPTER 26: INTERROGATION

HAAAH.

Garam didn’t know how he ended up on Song Sihyuk’s lap, but that was his current position.

"Don’t play dumb. ENERGENES’ Oh Hyunju spread the rumor himself. Apparently, he’s being sponsored by SG Group’s heir. You’re an only child, right?"

"Ah."

This horny dog...

But she looks cute in her onesie pajama.

Yeah, that was his exact position.

"Arf, arf."

"You didn’t lose your spot as the heir to your relatives, did you?"

Song Sihyuk raised an eyebrow. "I have a mistress?"

"Hyung, who’s this little girl?"

"I guess I should start with why I suddenly half-ghosted you. So, let’s head back to my place."

’She?’

"You turn me into a pervert, so you actually have to take responsibility," Song Sihyuk said, his hand now gently rubbing Garam’s belly. "Should we head to my place and talk?"

"First, let me explain about the brand deals that your group lost," Song Sihyuk said. Fortunately, this time, he looked serious. "You lost Chocookie, didn’t you? That chocolate cookie snack."

"No. The offer from that beauty brand is real, and I already told Myung Hyesu to accept it."

Garam raised an eyebrow. "So, Oh Hyunju isn’t really your mistress."

To be precise, they were in the passenger seat of the Alpha’s fancy car that was parked in an obscure part of the restaurant’s parking space. Fortunately, there were no other cars around them.

"You horny dog—"

"Yes. I only took away the brands that will harm your career," Song Sihyuk said, and then he smirked. "And I gave them to the group that targeted you."

"Yeah."

"And you believed that person? Is that why you sent those divorce papers?"

"Hyung, we’re not going to get caught by the paparazzi, right?" Garam asked worriedly. "I don’t want to see pictures of me sitting on your lap inside a car, in a dark parking lot, tomorrow morning."

"That’s a pretty name," Garam said, nodding. "But I’m asking who she is to you, Hyung."

He wasn’t an Omega either, so there was no way he was releasing pheromones.

"I don’t know about other Alphas, but I like your scent, Garam-ah."

"Aww. My brat is so smart," Song Sihyuk said, suddenly talking as if he were talking to a child. He even ruffled Garam’s hair affectionately. "Do you want daddy to give you a kiss?"

This crazy bastard...

Song Sihyuk laughed, but he thankfully stopped sniffing Garam already. "Don’t be upset. I just missed your scent, that’s all."

"Well, Oh Hyunju is a pretty Omega..."

Moreover, Shin Geon and Song Sihyuk’s bodyguards were blocking all the entrances.

Song Sihyuk had his arms wrapped around his waist while his face was buried against his neck, though.

"I haven’t met that Omega kid— not even once."

"So, you’re just a pervert."

"You won’t regret it. My cousin owns that brand— she swears it’s going to change the beauty cosmetics game in the country."

"Hyung, take this conversation seriously, will you?"

***

"Did you really think I would sponsor another person while we’re married?"

And, yet, Sihyuk Hyung is sniffing me like he can’t get enough of my scent.

Why does Sihyuk Hyung keep sniffing me?

Yeah, Song Sihyuk really barked like a dog.

Garam knew it wasn’t because he stank— he was always voted as one of the idols who smelled the best in real life.

***

IT WASN’T a woman— it was a little girl who was probably around eight to ten years old.

"Her name is Mija."

"And the home appliance that you were supposed to promote? Forget it— it’s predicted to flop since the production was rushed. Hence, the quality suffered."

Oh, this old man is seducing me.

Song Sihyuk just shrugged nonchalantly. "And there’s someone you need to meet. She’s staying at my place, and that’s why I keep asking you to come home with me."

"Now you’re even deciding what brands I work with."

"Hyung, stop sniffing me," Garam scolded the Alpha. "Are you a dog?"

Garam knitted his eyebrows, confused. "Then why does Oh Hyunju keep mentioning your name?"

"Then you’re really the one Oh Hyunju was talking about. He did name-drop you several times."

"Do Alphas enjoy Betas’ scent, too?"

"For now?"

Garam didn’t want to assume, so he made a quick decision: "Fine, let’s go to your place— I want to meet the woman you’re talking about."

"Really?"

Song Sihyuk tilted his head to one side, smiling while staring at Garam’s face as if he were waiting for his reaction. "What if I tell you she’s my daughter?"

"Garam-ah, you just cursed me in your head, didn’t you? I can see it in your eyes."

Garam looked over his shoulder and glared at the Alpha. "Hyung, let’s get a divorce. I married an Alpha— not a dog."

"Chocookie is going to be phased out next year since it couldn’t beat Ilsung Group’s LuckyChocopie."

Fortunately, Garam wasn’t facing the Alpha.

"Lastly, that fast-food chain endorsement? It will just harm your career since people are boycotting that company at the moment."

Oho?

"Oh."

"We’re just really going to talk," Song Sihyuk said, cutting him off while laughing. "For now."

"Our group lost three brand deals to ENERGENES—brands that are under the SG Group," Garam said bitterly. "Did you give them to your mistress?"

The child looked pretty gloomy while sitting on the big sofa, which made her look smaller than she really was.

Song Sihyuk scoffed. "I’m the most competent man in our family, so why would my grandfather choose someone else to inherit the company?"

Then Sihyuk Hyung wants ENGERGENES to be destroyed?

So, it’s another brand deal from SG Group... wait.

Garam was about to say he wasn’t falling for that, but he gasped when he remembered something important. "Hyung, I’m supposed to have a meeting with the representatives of a beauty brand. Was it a fake invitation so you could drag me here?"

"I didn’t believe him. I’m not the type to believe a one-sided story easily. That’s why I sent those divorce papers— to lure you out and confront you like this."

"Yeah."
