CHAPTER 284: THAT WAS A BIT HARSH BUT I GET THE GIST OF IT

Min-Cheol shook his head and said,

"There’s no way you’ll make that old guy lose face." He said. "I mean, he doesn’t have any face left to save anyway so you’ll be fine."

"This brat!" Seo-Jun exclaimed and I laughed.

"Yeah, maybe so. But I still have to be careful, don’t I? If I make a mistake and get on someone’s nerves, if I offend someone I shouldn’t..."

"Jo-Pil," Seo-Jun suddenly called, looking at me seriously. What was this? Why did the atmosphere suddenly shift coldly?

The others looked the same as well. Was it what I said?

"In this country, no, even in this world, there’s no one that you can’t afford to offend." He said. "After all, the ones behind you are the most powerful and rule all businesses. So, who can top that? Who would dare make you feel inferior?"

Wow, coming from him, that actually sounded reassuring.

He was right. With the four Alphas backing me, was there anyone whom I couldn’t afford to offend?

But let’s not be cocky and make unnecessary trouble.

"Besides, they should be careful not to offend you," Jin-Yeok added, stirring his coffee. "Jo-Pil, if anyone seems trouble with you, don’t hesitate to act out. And then we’ll take care of them once we get the news." He had this devious look in his eyes.

By ’take care of them’ he didn’t mean he was going to kill them, was he?

Ah, it’s been a while since we had our little talk. I hope he wasn’t going around doing unnecessary killings.

Well, he’s been very busy so maybe not.

"Hyung, there will be flies who try to make an annoying noise around you, but just ignore them. And if you want, you can try to swat them. There’ll be no consequences."

The others nodded at what he said.

That was a bit harsh but I get the gist of it.

They don’t want me to feel inferior in any way and would not tolerate others looking down at me as well. And they also know one thing.

If I followed Seo-Jun to his company, I’d probably appear like one of those bitcjes who roam about him, wishing to be knocked up by him and he set for life.

Or one of his side pieces that gained a lot of favor and could even walk with him to the company. So many theories would come up and they would all look at me weirdly.

But... The point was that I was above everyone else so I didn’t need to listen to their nonsense and didn’t have to put up with them either.

If I wanted, I could get rid of them and all I needed to do was say the word.

Gosh, I felt like I had entered a drama or something.

I chuckled lightly and shook my head.

"Alright, alright. I understand." I said. "I’ll do my best and not let anyone look down on me."

"And Jo-Pil," Ki-hoon called, saying the first word to me since earlier. He lifted his phone and said, "Take lots of pictures."

Ah, he wants me to post it all on the group. Well, that way they can track my movements better.

Wait, what am I saying?

They probably just want to know how I’m doing and if I’m satisfied. I just thought of the worst without realizing it. Sorry.

"Alright." I nodded. "And if anyone makes trouble for me, I’ll take their pic and drop it on the group as well."

"That’s what I meant." Ki-hoon suddenly said. Huh? "I want you to take lots of pictures of those who will cause you trouble. If you can, get their profile and side view."

He looked dead serious.

Okay, you need to relax. I think you’re taking this far too seriously. I thought and then laughed.

"I got it, Hyung," I said.

This somehow eased their hearts and before long, breakfast was done.

We had to go our separate ways.

How it pained them to part with me but it would be their turn soon.

"Tomorrow," Ki-hoon said. "I’ll take you to my office tomorrow."

"I’ll look forward to it," I said and then he kissed my cheek before turning to get in his own car.

I was wearing a waistcoat with white long sleeves and a bow stuck to the left side of my hair. How uncalled for!

Seo-Jun decided today was the day to rock his red designer suit. He looked great in it, honestly and I had no complaints.

But then why was I also wearing red? It was as if he wanted us to parade as a couple?

They were of the same design, oddly enough.

I’d have to question Jin-Yeok about that. Did he really get me waistcoats that matched all my masters suits?

If it was then he planned this out way too well.

Or maybe he just got me the highest quality of everything, which was the same quality as what they wore.

Sigh. I was thinking too much again.

Well, at least I was no longer in a daze.

"Shall we go?" Seo-Jun asked as he slowly slid his arm around my waist.

"Hey, don’t get so close." I said, pushing his face which I was sure was trying to kiss me.

"Haha, why not?" He asked. "For today, you and I are a couple."

Of course, he had such a thought.

"Just... Don’t do anything that’ll make people come after me later." I said and he paused, trying to understand. He got it in a few seconds and laughed.

"I’ll try." He said. "But don’t worry, no one will try to touch you unless they have a death wish."

Then you better put out the word, cause I’m sure they don’t know it yet, that they’ll need to have a death wish first for them to touch me.

To them, I’m just someone trying to steal the attention of a public man all to myself.

Ugh, just thinking about it was getting on my nerves.

"Just stay professional, ’sir’." I said and he snickered.

"What is it?" He pulled me closer. "Are we role-playing right now, my little assistant?"

This pervert. Was everything that crossed his mind sex related?

"Definitely not!" I snapped at him and he laughed, loving my reaction.

Min-Cheol watched for a while, his grip on the car door tightening by the second, but he let go, took a deep breath, and then got in.

And that’s, how I made my way to Seo-Jun company. My first outing to my master’s company.

Just what sort of peril was waiting for me there? I wonder.

Well, I just hope it’s not something that’ll make me faint, haha.
