Then, the only problem left for him was one.
Who was this man in the photo!
Chairman Baek called in his secretary.
“Director Jung, tell them to stop sending such photos and find out who this man is.”
“Ah, sir. That’s the thing……”
Director Jung hesitated in his speech. It was a bad sign.
“We have someone on it, but it seems it’s not easy.”
“What do you mean?”
“Usually, when we investigate a person, we start from their name and address. But this man is staying in a hotel suite. Plus, it’s a competitor’s hotel. Not only that, but he uses an American card, not a domestic one. You know, the Black Diamond card that only the top 1% use. Since we don’t know his name or address, we have to start with the card he uses or the people he meets, but there’s no one he meets, and the Black Diamond card is so secure that it’s not easy to extract information.”
“But there should be some history at the hotel, right? Can’t even extract such information, even if it’s a competitor?”

It made no sense that a living person was untraceable, not a ghost.
At his sharp tone, Director Jung lowered his eyes over his glasses as if cold sweat was running down his back and opened his mouth.
“That’s… it’s managed by Executive Han Jeongwon as a VVIP. You know, Executive Han Jeongwon.”
Damn! Of all people.
Han Jeongwon, of course he knew.
He was a figure who was grinding his teeth to regain his reputation after being robbed of the first place by Seo Rin, who was operating Sungwon Crystal Hotel as the successor of Jeil Hotel. So, there was no way he would leak his VVIP customer information.
“But it’s not completely impossible. If you give me some more time, I will try my best to find out.”
In the end, it was a race against time to find out who this man in the photo was. But he had no intention of giving up.
Just as if you’re told not to do something, you want to do it more, and if you’re told not to enter, you want to step in more, he wanted to know more about this man who was said to be unknown.
A needless competitive spirit had arisen.

“Find out who this guy is, by any means necessary. As soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
After Director Jung left, Chairman Baek turned his gaze to the photo of Tae Joon carrying Seo Rin in the hotel parking lot. He thought he could be at most a model because of his dazzling looks, but he turned out to be quite wealthy.
Well, it’s the man Seo Rin chose, so his specs must be incredible.
But no matter how wealthy he was, he wouldn’t be able to flaunt his money at the shareholders’ meeting that was only two days away.
Yet, the reason he couldn’t easily overlook this man was that he didn’t know what kind of power this man’s wealth could give to Seo Rin in the future.
“That can’t happen.”
It was right to cut the sprout in advance.
“You’re late from work.”
Tae Joon, who followed her in as she opened the door, spoke in a low but clear voice. It was then that Seo Rin realized that it was past ninethirty.

As the temporary shareholders’ meeting approached, she became more anxious. Even though the table was all set, she wasn’t at ease in case an unexpected menu was added. It was because Chairman Baek was more than capable of doing so.
At times like this, it was best to push oneself to the limit. If the body was too busy to spare a moment, the mind naturally emptied itself. Therefore, I spent quite a while looking over leisurely projects, completely unaware that so much time had passed.
“Indeed. It has gotten quite late.”
I turned to answer, his robust figure filling my vision, seemingly taking up the entire spacious entrance.
His presence in my home was not unfamiliar. No, beyond being unfamiliar, it seemed very natural. It was only his second visit, yet why did this man blend so naturally into my personal space?
“But what brings you here today?”
Jealous of his ability to naturally handle any situation, my words came out tersely.
“Do we need a particular reason to meet? Not anymore. We should get used to it.”
However, he absorbed even such brusqueness like a sponge.
“Well, if you insist on a reason, it’s not like I can’t come up with one.”

Tae Joon placed the file he had brought on my coffee table, removing it from a yellow envelope. Seo Rin’s dark eyes naturally rested on the document. A familiar logo sharply pierced her pupils.
“This is……”
It was Sungwon’s logo. Therefore, this file had come from Sungwon.
“I had a meeting with President Baek.”
“You, Tae Joon?”
“No, to be precise, my secretary did.”
“But why, exactly?”
“Because I wanted to plant false confidence in President Baek through a preliminary meeting. That way, he wouldn’t have time to come up with other tricks.”
For a moment, I was at a loss for words. I couldn’t believe that he had solved the unnecessary worry that had been tormenting my mind all day long.
“Thank you. I hadn’t even thought of that approach.”
