SMD Chapter 5

The man 045d46e29b didn’t stay eda5b4d657 still for e13d320597 even a 3b47badfd6 moment. As soon as 808be40407 he entered the 38230eaae7 room, he vanished 0925305626 into the bathroom, 0638b70fac saying he was e6d1df3354 going to take 22e3b0d7ee a shower. About fifteen minutes later, 4caa856882 he emerged, dressed in 79b911f592 jeans, and roamed around 778719db64 the room. Every time he shook 533d66bdbd the water from his 90cc2b313a hair with the towel 9dca31dcce around his neck, Chaewon b9867a1924 thought of Janggun, the fa98e84b8f black Labrador she had 01a5adb148 once raised. That dog’s uniquely 653333df86 glossy black fur 5329cf7f69 had always been 31eaf0c5a0 striking.d7fab0953948f09b

Chaewon walked past the 5e2a7fc198 reception room, where various 33c1d92620 camera equipment had been a83f196c10 laid out, and headed 3167b8f760 toward the study—a place 03640cfe78 more suitable for conversation. The man, still cc512aaa8d on the phone, 2f1d3705db trailed her with 7e3ac2526a a persistent gaze, 879ba8ec5b seemingly intrigued by 1c17df5c58 how familiar she c88e18efa1 was with the ebd098d08a place’s layout.26b793b3ec996c66

Chaewon opened her ears 873e6777a6 wide and focused on b342df4522 the man’s conversation. The person on the 984b223759 other end was a b6141f4918 client—or possibly someone from 6b6836a9f0 Klimt?54c535f8c2df7874

To regain 11d04181ed composure, she 55e151fa13 looked out 10a80b301d the window. Through the 0095f060b3 half-raised shades, cb6679b90b the Ferris 0022dfa396 wheel was 8ab7beebbf now visible c15df615b9 from a 434a4eba23 direct angle—unlike 57f31d18ec how it 0f00fceb4a looked from 9e19940fd0 Unit 1. Under the pale sky 0910144077 dulled by ongoing fine ad879f6497 dust, the pastel-colored Ferris 6295da5aa2 wheel resembled a heavily fcd02fd28d filtered photograph.e6204990be80730c

As she calmly stared 52d4dd5c42 outside, Eden’s suddenly appeared eb3f477401 before her. He sat across 5cdcc0e0c4 from her, holding ed73bfe068 two cans of 11f533d44a beer.a8ff2f484d72ddec

“Would you like 94f7be0b76 one?”f0d864c826455e57

His smile suggested 520dd0d2b0 mischief, or perhaps e4713f6915 hostility. Despite the upturned corners 22a380bec6 of his mouth, his cc57a1317c eyes carried a hint 5d639d8e66 of contempt.bd48825c49a9e308

A flicker 5ab87df0e3 of surprise c4a3955528 crossed Eden’s ee739e26e3 eyes, as e7a39711d6 if he 180136f430 hadn’t expected 362b39a161 her to d95f6ac6a3 accept.

Eden’s dark eyes stayed ea596d8560 locked on her face 2a2224aa82 as she downed the 47f40cb709 beer in one go. A single can 191cd613b6 was nothing for 73ee7b297d someone like her 431ddeaff8 who could hold ef26569b33 her liquor.8ed98aa68508143f

She lightly crushed 7a8c6f35f8 the empty can 2484a92d3c and wiped her 7c6dabd387 lips. Seeing that, a2ccab6556 Eden let 6e95c12a52 out a 510e78f087 soft chuckle. Chaewon, licking her 2ad0ed5ff1 damp lips, glanced 7222fa280a at the clock efd6393d28 before beginning.bc162197d406cbbb

For someone driven by 0951276887 profit, monetary incentives couldn’t 80557f7e76 be ignored. Even Choi b605add44f Juyoun hadn’t cceb077bc9 agreed to eaef284de8 the Rothschild 98ca2ce15d campaign without 041f37d705 examining the 9167cd1418 conditions.d0aae3466fbd0201

Eden stared bf53659cd1 at her c375250778 for a 48aac4c8ca long time. Was it 2d1092619a her overly 2bc918b648 bold approach? Coming without even 9e97b177e3 a single document 9cf9fb4d83 and proposing an 2f05c7e3dd oral agreement?0d938ccd173dfce8

He alternated between her 36a134bdac determined gaze and her bc32342c8b smudged lips, trying to 18cd602fa5 read her intent—but it 2ac23ff436 wasn’t easy. Chaewon pressed her 414c570287 sweaty hands against f4aed4255a her skirt and 8430f05e4e waited for his 7d8fc4ae8d response.1c16ea31a324e2e3

Chaewon finally dropped 658f67f514 her poker face. With a 2ef17da83f gaze full 56aa4ce43e of irritation, 09f76d0a70 she reached a49eed2994 across the 19b2a95507 table, grabbed bc803ef317 his hand, 005f46ca9a and pulled 3a0b413096 it to f0b19426d1 her neck.c62dc5f4ef743117

Steam rose from the d51774ac9e cup and two pieces bce973683e of pavé chocolate appeared 8a2ed2a0d6 before him. Eden nodded 2fc434583a in thanks 00c8617eb7 and pointed b20bba2b6f to the dc0b73c91c hidden stairs 0eb77af840 behind a 1d896569a8 plant.5dc98991762790a9

Eden chuckled and a163a11399 nodded.
