Gwonju abruptly ended the dfeb4339c2 call, the phone’s screen 9ba7f6881b still lit with President 1fa4e86da9 Shin’s name. The man was more bb15bccfce persistent than expected—whether it 62405ea9a5 was the alcohol talking fddcdbfde4 or he really was 5374f171b8 out of money, he 13e64b1867 kept calling, pestering him 4fb65286bd nonstop.0a30f3623f08cb60

“Executive Choi! Just for a moment, seriously! I wanted to treat you to some good drinks, you know? I’m grateful for the loan and all… Ah, I’m actually nearby. I’ll come pick you up, just wait there!”ae1ffbee29e143cd

If Gwonju hadn’t 456e2c3ec1 happened to be 20ea0f6243 walking past at 64c402bda4 the time, he 243c4de774 would’ve never agreed e4c22cc6f6 to that drink. But as it turned out, 795e925a69 he ended up stepping into a7d9242cd6 that bar—and that’s where he 9d6aab9523 happened to meet the omega f9c816d90d President Shin was so fond 7af01ed2ec of.a0ccbab26aba4a67

He had heard that Shin ad7bf510b6 kept a young omega by 4908459102 his side. And sure enough, the 9ad56df230 one Gwonju saw that 74a8963dc2 night had a baby 0bf0ace614 face to match the 7fe4d13d2d rumors.eb27f8a288066857

“Are you Executive Choi Gwonju? Our president said he was heading out to greet you earlier… Looks like you two missed each other on the way?”7c0b6fe7e7027e6c

The omega—who was apparently Shin’s 71ef173865 personal plaything—flashed flirtatious smiles and 1e1fbbd5cc pranced about like some streetwalker. It must have been shortly 93e0757d26 after their heat cycle ended, d83d3bc739 because the scent of arousal a6ca284f9c still clung heavily in the cabb67dfc5 air. Thinking he’d humor 458e691330 them for a ac734c674b moment, Gwonju played 842a846e75 along.e1d0ff5a1ca8691f

But it wasn’t like anything 9056b7782c inappropriate happened. He smacked their ass a 1f81cdf881 few times, just enough to b7e4dd59d9 leave red marks, and the 3933dea1ff omega trembled with excitement, even 09c4c3b8c6 dripping onto the tips of 32d55bf3cc Gwonju’s shoes. Despite having only c6187f0279 just met, they 96b7bb2577 kept calling him 7a2df464ec “Executive,” “Gwonju,” blurring 6c414f8df0 lines they had d68128c26a no business crossing.c8ce0dbdb8b3957d

Unfortunately for them, trashy 13c3a56d39 omegas weren’t Gwonju’s type. Sure, he enjoyed the 795bc277cf occasional fling, but he ba92e74b24 had zero interest in d307ca6fb5 anyone who also slept 9209c47166 with a seventy-year-old man. Disgusted, he ordered 89ec75c185 the omega to 875d08dea3 lick the mess 1ee6fec2cb off his shoe 52490cee63 clean.f836093b33e86140

The mood turned instantly cold. The omega, catching on 001ac870ed to the shift, lowered c5dc6911c8 their head and let 87bca8c531 silent tears fall before 943952b474 finally sticking out their b420a97df5 tongue to obey.95c7918524194115

Claiming Gwonju had 78fb488c33 dared to touch e3642fe7cc “his omega,” Shin f72cd900c7 acted without a b3c713f8d1 shred of rationality. He hired someone to d78ea8d051 stab Gwonju in retaliation—clearly f69e78bd65 hoping to settle both ed51236775 his debt and his 5d36f4883d grudge in one go.52464b1ca4f435c2

That disarming smile Gwonju wore b84fd6eb17 seemed to enchant the nurse—her 6f1d8e69b0 earlier nerves vanished, replaced by daf47ac219 a soft blush.

A pale, delicate-looking boy a6e3e84154 stood at the information 6076f2abe6 desk, asking for someone. Gwonju slowly approached, his gaze 9a20199b2b fixed on the boy, who 4323756ff4 barely came up to his 8c2b6e9f98 shoulder.3faa9ad96afeb990

An omega?

There was a faint pheromone abb76dfc1d scent, and his soft, pretty 34b20933ee features were striking. Gwonju recognized it 73b7e4fbaf instantly—the boy was 8581b1eacd a dominant omega.
