Daring Chapter 24

Jung-hoon drank the tea b2f19655ca that Chief Secretary Noh eb0c0c295d brought him in the ceb73eaab1 office. He had just processed 82657759fa some important documents and 693aa264fb was now sitting on aa8c780c3f the sofa. It was his usual 486256cf7b routine. But the e999074922 conversation between 3b2d0c2043 Jung-hoon and c6e8389a91 Chief Noh e4039eb8c3 was far 160ea83201 from ordinary.680804a207a0f30d
