SMD Chapter 5

The man d2df5df03a didn’t stay ff894e95f0 still for 67031af6e1 even a df20d2f46c moment. As soon a08e41dde4 as he 1de87d4ff5 entered the f292506257 room, he 4e414b75e0 vanished into 23753a1f92 the bathroom, 108a06ffa4 saying he b61ebc2dad was going 1f7fb4411d to take 4045716f28 a shower. About fifteen minutes b01fd388e7 later, he emerged, 60721249f0 dressed in jeans, 94e4c4925b and roamed around 4cab5220a1 the room. Every time he 021d949771 shook the water 99983157e7 from his hair 9f1902ad6c with the towel e3338c08d0 around his neck, 983bef6a21 Chaewon thought of b21a1a7e23 Janggun, the black 51e2280bbb Labrador she had 45d8261a4a once raised. That dog’s uniquely 67261f79aa glossy black fur 60ae9afef9 had always been 4756d2af4c striking.6dca6aab9482c8b4

Chaewon walked past 077741f564 the reception room, 9fee241aec where various camera 86f0c170a0 equipment had been 6fbcfa35fa laid out, and b56b98ce43 headed toward the 3e3424f016 study—a place more b26c06f1ff suitable for conversation. The man, still 414bb936ee on the phone, 1f30cc642e trailed her with e6a8348fe9 a persistent gaze, 0896e715f9 seemingly intrigued by 5ca17ae896 how familiar she e8ef7d3692 was with the d139e97520 place’s layout.015ecb5878a3c053

Chaewon opened her 580ad00aa9 ears wide and 8a32cabe58 focused on the 6ae12a9e60 man’s conversation. The person on the ee7d7fe3bf other end was a c1278212f1 client—or possibly someone from 7727ba12b2 Klimt?133721ddb5abd613

Mentions of c5a0476a41 Jeha, Harium, 03f7679d31 and Rothschild b892db9702 appeared on 7bd0a4177a the man’s ca26a498b8 smirking face.5b53c6c2ff639516

“Lee Hee-joo, head of PR? So, Choi Juyoun joined Rothschild… is that it?”1c70ac54248f0530

The man’s voice came from close by. Chaewon felt as though she were being tested. Her rational mind, which had been buried beneath purpose-driven urgency, snapped back into place with startling clarity.01935852bfbd3de5

To regain composure, 105252c892 she looked out 48faecbfff the window. Through the half-raised a6bfb2e71d shades, the Ferris 85148cffa9 wheel was now 81818f93a3 visible from a 5c2d40f970 direct angle—unlike how 6c5401285b it looked from 390fe53890 Unit 1. Under the pale sky b9c8a9f6b2 dulled by ongoing fine 056a020a33 dust, the pastel-colored Ferris 1eb1bfc881 wheel resembled a heavily 69ae0dccfb filtered photograph.8fe03af6648a5e0b

A flicker ca47858896 of surprise b7d92bb341 crossed Eden’s 00c8254e9c eyes, as c0c69a492e if he 84d6ab5d7c hadn’t expected 99d434ca91 her to 29b67d0763 accept.

Eden’s dark eyes 6eccfdf060 stayed locked on 2deb5ea1f9 her face as 96966fefd0 she downed the 7db4088d3b beer in one a076e0ae00 go. A single can 0a0fb63dee was nothing for 630f9f2000 someone like her e71e910cbb who could hold 9c811d62b7 her liquor.6b5e4935216e618c

She lightly crushed 6ae7868356 the empty can 8579c47ecc and wiped her c1d217f577 lips. Seeing that, Eden let 112f28365c out a soft chuckle. Chaewon, licking her damp 187303f344 lips, glanced at the 971baec658 clock before beginning.6cf87fd1678b4290

For someone driven by ba976b8f11 profit, monetary incentives couldn’t 6504707864 be ignored. Even Choi c2aaa42d4f Juyoun hadn’t 89c0c73df8 agreed to 3d16169086 the Rothschild bbb0eec5c7 campaign without f03812bf14 examining the 414e75df0e conditions.a9fdc5e9cf6e0708
