As they watched her receding figure, the butler and Mrs. Kim’s necks stretched out.

“It’s not stumbling, ma’am.”

“Yeah, despite my usual tactics of smiles and tears not working this time.”

As Chaewon disappeared from view, the butler turned his head to Mrs. Kim.

“What should we do, ma’am?”

Looking at the butler with a serious expression, Mrs. Kim soon nodded.

“Well, we shouldn’t live too carefreely. It’s very pleasing.”

“Oh.”

With an unexpected response, the confused butler quickly opened his notebook.

As it was not an easy task, he thought a new and more elaborate plan was needed.

The two remaining green tea sippers, with determined gazes, explored the hospital a little more and then left.

Walking on the marble floor, Yugeon was accompanied by a woman in a business suit who smiled.

When Yugeon silently turned his gaze to the ceiling, the woman who had been silently watching him decided it was time to speak and opened her lips.
“The high ceiling is a distinctive feature of our Ivory Castle. When constructing, we dug up two floors to give it a more grand and luxurious feel, paying special attention to it.”

As if understanding, Yugeon’s gaze, slightly nodding, now turned to the wide brown screen on one side of the wall.

The woman, reminded of another pride, reached out with an enthusiastic gaze.

“That brown screen is another advantage of our Ivory Castle, installed to broadcast various videos needed for events. It’s not a regular projector used in general event spaces; we specially made it for clearer picture quality and video production.”

Finally opening his lips, Yugeon commented, “Excellent.”

The woman, uplifted by the brief praise, smiled gently.

“Our Ivory Castle, newly built not long ago, hasn’t gained much recognition yet, but we’re confident that it will soon establish itself as a differentiated event space. If you choose to open this opportunity at EM Entertainment, we would be even more grateful.”

So, was he going to sign a contract, or was he just going to talk? Unable to discern from Yugeon’s expression, the woman kept her heart pounding.

The founding anniversary event of EM Entertainment.

With so many well-known celebrities sure to attend, they couldn’t afford to miss such a big promotional opportunity right after establishing.

“Shall we assist with the contract for Hall B here?”

Yugeon’s head turned towards another entrance in the distance.

“What about the size of Hall A?”

“Oh, it’s not suitable for a small-scale event like the founding anniversary. And it’s already reserved.”

“Wouldn’t it be inconvenient if the routes overlap?”

At his first suggestion, the flustered woman raised her hand with glossy yellow nails, trying to calm him down.

“Oh, it won’t overlap that much. Or, Mr. CEO, we can hire more staff to make sure there’s proper separation so that they won’t be uncomfortable.”

“No, it’s not us. It’s the other party. We are planning to have a quite open event, so it might get a bit noisy.”

“No, it’s fine. It’ll be fine!”

Thinking of the order from the CEO to secure this contract at all costs, the woman pleaded with a sincere expression.

Observing Yugeon’s expression as he looked around, the woman soon opened her mouth when she saw Yugeon’s lips parting.

“Let’s sign the contract.”

The afternoon sunlight poured into one corner of the narrow office.

“Yes, I’ll review the materials and get back to you.”

As Jaemin took the document envelope, the middle-aged woman sitting across from him stood up.

“I’ll count on you to handle it well. I can’t live like this feeling unjust.”

As Jaemin stood up, he gave a gentle smile.

“Don’t worry. I’m a competent lawyer, even well-known at the broadcasting station.”

“Oh? You appear on TV?”

“Not yet.”

Jaemin chuckled, recalling the promise from his senior PD at the regular broadcasting station.
“It’s about a month later. Once the broadcast starts, I get more requests and become busier, so I don’t have much time. It’s perfect timing for you to come. Oh, and traffic accidents are precisely my expertise.”

“Oh, really? Oh, my, what a world. Ha ha, so that’s why you recommended this place.”

“Yes? You recommended it?”

Jaemin’s smile, which had been present, elevated with anticipation.

“No, actually, I first went to the ‘Straight’ lawyer’s office next door. But it was so expensive, ah. People like us, it’s tough. Honestly, if you don’t have money, you can’t even do this; you just live unjustly.”

“Straight, you mean… there, Lawyer Yoon?”

The woman, who had brushed off the dust on her floral-patterned old man’s pants, clapped her hands when she remembered the surname.

“Oh, right! Yes, it was Yoon! That’s right! It was him! I heard he has a high success rate, but it’s too expensive. So, when I said I couldn’t afford it, that lawyer recommended coming here, saying it would be affordable because there aren’t many people here.”

Jaemin felt a strong pull on his back and immediately took a deep breath.

He had been idling for a considerable period due to a lack of requests.
