Gitaeh, who had escorted Ga-eul home, entered the gallery office. Park, the manager who had been waiting inside, stood up upon seeing Gitaeh. The security personnel sitting next to him also rose and bowed their heads when they saw their CEO. Gitaeh extended his hand in a polite greeting. Now, formalities like greetings were not important.

“Have you checked the CCTV?” Gitaeh asked. The answer came from the security personnel who had been at the scene.

“Yes. Comparing it to the footage from the previous exhibition day, the identity of that man is confirmed. Also, based on today’s CCTV footage, it seems that the man was targeting Ms. Yun Ga-eul, not the CEO.”

The security personnel seemed surprised, but Gitaeh already knew this fact.

“I already know that.” Gitaeh stood up from his seat. It was just words that wouldn’t be helpful.

“Let’s confirm it ourselves.” Gitaeh suddenly left the office, and Park, the manager, and the security personnel hurriedly followed. Gitaeh, leaving the office, headed to the security room where CCTV screens were gathered.

He quickly gave instructions to the security staff, who looked puzzled by his abrupt arrival.

“Rewind to the moment when Yun Ga-eul appeared in front of the gallery.”

“Yes, CEO.”

“That jerk… No, whether that man followed Yun Ga-eul to the gallery or rushed out at the gallery, we need to confirm.”

Under the ominous atmosphere, no one could say anything and quickly focused on finding the screen. After a while, the security personnel, who had rewound to the moment when Ga-eul appeared, reported to Gitaeh.

“We found it, CEO. We’ll show you from the moment Ms. Yun Ga-eul appeared.”

The screen precisely displayed Ga-eul sitting in front of the gallery entrance, petting a cat. There was definitely no one following her from behind. After a while, a man wearing a hat appeared from an alley.

Seeing the man, Gitaeh, with a stern expression, gave another command.

“Rewind to well before Yun Ga-eul arrived at the gallery.”

It was not clear. A man dressed entirely in black, wearing a black hat, hiding in a dark alley. However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that the man had been stalking Ga-eul even before she arrived at the gallery. Seeing that the man only rushed out when Ga-eul appeared, he had been pretending to die a long time before, probably to meet Ga-eul. It was apparent that the man only knew Ga-eul was affiliated with this gallery.

“Sigh…” Gitaeh, who had been on high alert, now heaved a sigh. Since security was thorough enough to prevent anyone from freely entering the Hannam-dong main building, it would be difficult for the man to approach Ga-eul unless she roamed alone in front of the gallery. Now that Gitaeh had personally confirmed that Ga-eul was not in danger, his instructions to the security room came to a halt.
Since security is thoroughly enforced, preventing anyone from freely entering the Hannam-dong main building, it would be difficult for that man to approach Ga-eul unless she roams alone in front of the gallery for a while.

After confirming with his own eyes that Ga-eul was not in danger, Gitaeh’s instructions to the security room ceased.

He had strongly advised security to capture the man if they spotted him again. He also firmly instructed them to thoroughly inspect the surroundings for the time being.

Gitaeh, who had rushed over and irritably swept back his disheveled hair, exited the gallery.

Rrrr……. Rrrr…….

Gitaeh rummaged through his jacket pocket and answered the phone. As soon as he answered, the caller promptly gave a report.

“CEO, regarding Kim Dae-jun, I found out that he’s currently moving around without a precise location, presumably using loan sharks and avoiding pursuit.”

“Good job.”

Gitaeh’s forehead furrowed again as he listened to the report. With a brief response, he hung up the phone and leaned against the gallery’s outer wall.

There was no clear address, and the phone was disconnected.

What the…

If I paid attention, there might not be any danger, but I had no specific income.

‘I should prevent her from coming to the gallery for a while.’

Gitaeh, pressing his temples with his hand for a moment, looked up at the sky. Spending time checking for safety, the sunset had already taken place.

Quite some time had passed since I met Ga-eul early in the lunchtime. Now the sun was slowly setting.

Realizing that it wasn’t dangerous as long as Ga-eul didn’t linger in front of the gallery, the nerves that had skyrocketed eased.

By now, what could Yun Ga-eul be doing?

The relaxed nerves once again turned towards Ga-eul.

The face that smiled and sent him off as he pretended to be dating flashed in his mind.

Even now, I want to postpone it, but I wanted to see her again. Shameless, he thought about laying a sheet and visiting her.

Even if we don’t meet, maybe I should try to see her for a moment in the studio. Usually, this is the time she spends in the studio.

Gitaeh chuckled and released a sigh. Having planned this and that, he was considering looking for her again.
