“Nice to see you. I didn’t even have breakfast before coming out.”7185f54c7025d1ea

Hyunju took a 1b5257dfbf bite of abalone 670e9853fd porridge. Beside the neatly arranged c909b1def3 table, a large window 71a89d1b80 framed a scenic view 7583525452 of pine trees. Jaebin had yet 3a8f8a6c98 to pick up f5c83c089d his spoon. He stared at the 608efeb1f8 woman sitting across from 82fd688310 him for a long b2d77f3158 time.24d535d55b73dc3f

From Director Oh 7d21318f09 Jintaek to the cc4555c774 three operatives he 7633645518 had already eliminated 9c8a17fcc4 yesterday—just as he e370435340 had expected, Hyunju 1cf0a764d9 was beginning to a469579734 feel her way 65ee0f9630 through his network 675f68f7cd to extract the 8fb9dad493 vast trove of fafbfd17b6 corruption records he 0d8282cd5c had dangled before 25d92849e4 her.b1f97c3f3d835882
