A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71

The next day, Sunday morning.

Kang Woo had a meal meeting scheduled with Min Young—oddly timed at 4 p.m., neither lunch nor dinner.

With plenty of time to spare, he spent the morning busily catching up. After being away from the office for several days, there was a mountain of work awaiting him.

Around 11 a.m., a message arrived from Secretary Choi, asking if it was okay to proceed with the chauffeur interviews tomorrow. He’d been driving himself for quite some time, but continuing much longer was simply unsustainable—he needed to conserve both time and energy.

He replied affirmatively, only for another message to chime in—this time from Min Young.

A string of rather pointless messages followed one after another:

Starting with a “Good morning” greeting, an apology for having to arrange the meeting so abruptly due to her schedule, questions about his food preferences, and even a pointless inquiry about the restaurant’s atmosphere.

“Ha.”

Annoyed, he roughly ran his hand through his hair. Though Min Young’s oddly one-sided attitude grated on him, he couldn’t let personal bias interfere—this was business.

Thus, even when she hinted at jinxes, practically acting as if she might sabotage the renewal chance entirely, he humored her.

After all, with Lee Chang Seok’s sudden disappearance causing complications, he had done everything in his power: he dispatched Executive Director Kim to GComs to deliver solutions directly to their management, and he himself maintained daily phone and email correspondence with Min Young.

Despite his efforts, if she kept behaving like this, scrapping the deal entirely might be the boldest option. Yet there were many factors to consider.

First, moving the headquarters last year had drained a significant portion of their capital. Second, if the contract with GComs fell through, their investment options would shrink by half, forcing them to channel significantly more of their own funds into the project.

If things went smoothly, there’d be no issue—but the PC gaming market was growing increasingly cutthroat. Even previously thriving companies were collapsing left and right.

Though they’d already peaked in the mobile gaming sector, focusing solely on safety meant, at best, maintaining the status quo. Business opportunities like this didn’t come often, so he’d gone to any lengths necessary to secure cooperation with GComs.
