Chapter 267 - There is No Rest For the Wicked (1/2)
At a certain penthouse.
A man stood by his lonesome, holding a phone in one hand and a wineglass in the other.
The night view presented before him through the floor-to-ceiling glass window was impressive, but the man's attention was drawn to the tiny screen of his smartphone.
”—We just came out of the concert and it was awesome! And Yeo Ri—Yeo Ri, it's your first time, right? How was it? Did you enjoy it?”
The screen panned to the girl, whose face was glowing with a bright blush and a wide smile.
”Yeah! It was amazing!” Her eyes sparkled as she remembered the concert. Her gaze was dreamy as she hummed a tune she had heard during the concert. It was apparent that she had thoroughly enjoyed her time there.
”Okay guys, that's the end of today's vlog! We're all gonna go home now. It was fun, guys! Get home safe, Won! Yeo Ri too!”
”You too, Jung Ho,” Won energetically replied, and Yeo Ri parroted behind him.
The man walked towards a nearby chair, setting down his drink on the side table. He unknowingly smirked as he replayed Yeo Ri's part.
”—Yeah! It was amazing!”
”—Yeah! It was amazing!”
”—Yeah! It was amazing!”
The more he replayed her reaction, the deeper his smile became. It looked as if he was completely entranced by her beauty.
He licked his lips as the d.e.s.i.r.e to possess her grew strongly within him.
With a few taps, he exited the social media app and opened up his contacts list. He scrolled for some time before finally finding the number he needed.
Riiing. Riiiiing.
Within two rings, the other person picked up the call.
”Mr. Woo! Is there something the matter? For you to give me a call at this hour...”
”It's about your project from the other day.”
”Yeah—cough—Yes? What about it, sir?”
”I'll add my investment, but there's something you need to do for me.”
”Of course, of course! Just say it, sir, and it will be done!”
”You know that girl, Lee Yeo Ri? Put her in the cast. Let's see... The female lead's younger counterpart would be suitable, no?”
”Lee Yeo Ri? Lee Yeo Ri... Uh... Oh! That girl, the one from the commercial, right? Alright, Mr. Woo! Don't worry, I'll make it happen for sure!”
”That's all. I'm looking forward to your project.”
”Yes, yes! I—no, the team—will certainly not disappoint you. Thank you for your consideration, sir!”
