Chapter 128: Chapter 1

Kanghyok pulled on a stiff gown that looked starched. Walking with his gown fluttering, he looked pretty proud.

“Hi, Dr. Paek!”

“Oh, hi. Good morning.”

“Are you doing your rounds?”

“Nope, I'm on my way to the director's office. See you later.”

“Yeah, professor!”

Kanghyok pa.s.sed by several nurses and got on an elevator.

His handsome look, reflected in the mirror, looked more handsome today of all days.

He was competent enough to be a full professor in his early 30s.

He had broad shoulders, a good build, and a fair face of an intellectual. He was even good at drinking and dancing. So, there were lots of women trying to win over his heart. As he himself liked to play with them, he made love with several women. He even had s.e.x two or three times a day.

The problem was he didn't yet find a woman whom he truly loved.

‘I'm afraid he might ask me again to meet some professor's daughter.'

Why should he meet a girl who was a total stranger to him?

If the woman was a professor's daughter, it would be hard for him to easily break up after dating her for some time.

He just hated exclusive dating with a girl.

Ding dong.

While he was agonizing over it, the elevator stopped at the top floor.

There was a small door on the left, and another door inside it. Only when he entered could he meet the director.

When Kanghyok approached, the secretary said h.e.l.lo.

“Prof. Paek, could you wait a moment?”

“Sure.”

When he was informed of Kanghyok's arrival, he threw the inside door open.

“Prof. Paek, come on in,” said the director in a cheerful voice as usual.

‘He must have a reason for calling me.'

With a sigh he walked into the director's room.

He noticed a black bag at the side. He would have ignored it as a rule, but he felt something strange about it today.

The director was standing, waiting for him even before he came in.

“Hi, Prof. Paek. Come on in.”

“How are you, director?”

“Sorry to call you like this even though you're busy.”

“No worries. I don't have any particular schedule today.”

The director kept rubbing his hands together as if he wanted to say something embarra.s.sing to Kanghyok.

‘He did the same thing last time when he asked me to play golf.'

Trying to smile, Kanghyok waited for him to speak.

“You know our chairman, right? I mean the chairman of our hospital.”

How was it possible that he wouldn't know? Kanghyok nodded quickly.

“Chairman wants you to make a house call for him. He says he wants to introduce a lady to you when you come…”

“House call?”

“Oh, I felt it a bit strange that you have to make a house call, but the chairman strongly insisted on it.”

“Oh, I see…”

He looked at the director, letting out a sigh.

As for the chairman of Chungmu Hospital, he is Chairman Lee of Chungmu Group, the largest and best business conglomerate in Korea. Chungmu Group was famous as a patriotic company, too.

Accordingly, if Chairman Lee asked Kanghyok to make a house call, it would be better for him to do so even if Lee was in the demilitarized zone now.

“I have already asked my secretary to pack a bag. Chairman Lee asked for lots of medicine. If you look into it, it contains his routine pills and some other container. Just give it to him, pretend not to know it.”

It was inevitable for Kanghyok to make a house call now.

“What time does he want me to come?”

“You said you don't have any schedule today, right?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Just start now. Let me get the car ready.”

“Haha, okay.”

“Sorry about that. Won't you think positively? I know you're not interested in women, but if you have to get married, isn't it good to meet a girl by way of the chairman's introduction?”

“Got it. Let me go now.”

“Great. Take care.”

Carrying a black bag, he got in a black sedan.

The sedan stopped in front of a personal museum in Hanamdong. As the sign of the museum was so small, people would not know that it was even a museum.

When the driver operated the mechanism for the door, it opened.

“You can come in now.”

“Oh, thanks.” Kanghyuk went in, lowering his head awkwardly. He was always confident in his words and actions, but not here.

It looked shabby inside. There was a long hallway with the lights blinking.

‘Rather, it looks scary here, not shabby.'

“Are you Prof. Paek?”

“What the heck? Who is it?” Kanghyuk looked around the hallway. Looking closely, he noticed a camera on the ceiling.

“Chairman?”

“Yes, just walk along the hallway and come inside.”
