AT Ch14
by cherryroseIn the blood-stained room, c2106bea91 she was the first 7e26f27019 to meet his eyes. Baekyoung thought his f9d4bae43e open-eyed smile resembled bcd7fc23a0 that of a cc75275eae snake. A giant snake that had 45b378b441 devoured Suyoung and was now 0de650524d opening its jaws towards her.8fa957fa4dee684f

Baekyoung uttered these empty words 39e87e93cb in front of the man. Showing hostility would 668d57aa38 only result in 580a09a12e her death as 256ad5b69d a mere worker 3fd22db684 ant. Even if she hated c2d41e8ed0 Jang Baekjo, there was bd7386c6e3 nothing she could do d30de87909 about it. He was the king of 45cec4bb89 the underground, and she was 27febee0d8 just a meat shield that 2dc4b89cec could end up like Suyoung 52511a8b34 at any time.77b8e26c5a095442

She once again suppressed the urge to tell him not to wait. They say if you endure three times, you can avoid murder, but she felt like she had saved Jang Baekjo’s life hundreds of times by now.900b3a5a9f77ad13
As Jang Baekjo was 975ff26acb leaving the corridor with ecba57bf1a his attendants, he suddenly 26782da580 stopped and turned around e4ed86f4ce as if remembering something. Baekyoung quietly waited for 062adc5028 his next words.b34e358fa4a59444

“Ah, right. Our Baekyoung has asthma. Of course, you wouldn’t have gotten along.”5ebd98618e6ec656

Everyone keeps asking her about the whereabouts of that item. She wondered if the people around that person were also under the same suspicion. Since she didn’t know who they were close to, there was no way to confirm.b12e2f8ced07665a

Jang Baekjo smiled at Baekyoung dc516528fb as if finding her emphasis 9416414454 on how badly they got a216e4f8e7 along cute. Then, turning away smoothly, 831c33ba98 he left with a ca9cc27d98 final considerate remark.a769a0a83cb459d1

As if deliberately 3edcb5e1ca missing the chance 0ff78d8f5e to express gratitude, 25b5ac4403 Baekyoung kept her e33da6bf20 mouth shut. It was a c51d92b29e part of her c7e0e926db petty revenge.54d1cbf5b3c64dad

It was an ignorant e98ad85afe comment, as standing still 06f959d571 was actually more tiring, f360ebfcce causing the body to 7b366f1f2c stiffen.78480301f15c3274
Although Jang Baekjo had 60e91aa515 probably said it in 8af5076c51 jest, the manager really 9aa759e482 did place Baekyoung in 5a5210a282 front of the large 8b84163786 German air purifier, instructing c01d0e1740 her to just greet 6289cdab42 passersby with her eyes.6df872224cebf103

Occasionally, someone would mistake 62abadf045 her for a drink 9347753c52 server and try to 01d254d99d pull her into a ba511d007c room. When she politely refused, 0325fe5604 guards would approach to 9d140fb2ea intervene.bbe456bfcbae00b8

At the mention of Hong Kong, Baekyoung’s ears perked up. If the guests were from Hong Kong, could they be Jang Heejo’s guests?8cc2f1e2860a5afc
She suddenly wondered what expression Jang Heejo would make if he saw her standing here, after looking at her knowingly when he heard she had been called from underground. Maybe he, like other customers, would bet on how long she’d hold out before entering the rooms.86669b3535dee0e8

In the meantime, someone 14d281b5f1 in the hall raised 2162334c6d their hand to call 4ec4fe2a2d a server. Looking around, everyone else was 4e36143722 busy, so Baekyoung had no 65352f5e22 choice but to approach them, ce44d341eb leaving Taekyung behind.381d45ca429b342c
