Chapter 372: Joseon (1/2)
A week had passed.
During that week, a lot of things happened.
Michael was able to befriend the two girls, Maine and Lisa. During their time at the canteen when they were eating and helping out Michael with notes of the classes he had missed out on, the girls were trying to get closer to him more by flirting, like accidental body contacts for example, but they quickly stopped it when they learned that Michael is already dating someone.
Which of course, made the atmosphere awkward at first, but they eventually got along together in the end and even exchanged phone numbers.
Following that day, Olivia accompanied Michael to look for a house at Emerald Bay, where Amanda and Jenny's place is located.
There weren't any vacant houses near their place, so Michael told Olivia that he wouldn't mind buying a house from its current owners.
Coincidently, there was a family that's preparing to move away and was planning to sell their house, and the location was great too as it was ten or so houses away from Amanda's place.
Michael even threw fifty thousand dollars on top of the agreed price just so that the family would move out within two days, which the owners happily agreed to and promised that they would move out in two days time.
So with that, Michael had successfully purchased a house and got his stuff moved in on the third day, and where his parents surprisingly weren't opposed to his sudden decision of moving out.
While on the other hand, Olivia also received a sum of money as payment for helping Michael out after the latter who constantly insisted to take the money even though Olivia had refused it.
Michael moved in in his new home three days later, and hosted a simple housewarming party for close friends only two days later.
Present.
Joseon International Airport.
An attractive looking man in a long black coat around mid to late twenties had just made his way past the airport gate.
His appearance quickly attracted a lot of eyes towards him, where a lot of women who saw him couldn't help but glance at him a second time and wondered if he was a celebrity or something.
While men who are with their girlfriends couldn't help but quickly pull their girlfriend's attention away from him by pulling them away from there or kissing them on their lips.
”Omo, is he a celebrity?”
”I doubt it, he doesn't have anyone other than him. He's probably just someone handsome, why don't you try getting his number? His looks are in your strike range after all”
”How about you do it? You know what, nevermind. Let's just go or we'll be late for our flight”
”Fine, it's not like we're every other girls out there who quickly falls over heads to someone just because they're hot”
Almost the same conversation was taking place with every girl who was together, but some other girls were just amazed by his air and appearance and then continued on their way as they really couldn't care less about it.
After all, just like what the girl said earlier, not everyone will like someone just because they are handsome.
”Goddammit, it wasn't even that long ago from my last job, but here I am again” Michael grumbled to himself as he hailed a taxi to his hotel.
Michael had wanted for Randy to take on this job using his name because the latter is well versed in Hangul, and the reason being is that the Republic of Joseon was one of the countries he was active before, but the guy outright refused him saying that he's already retired, and that would become pointless if he takes the field again.
Michael was able to understand him, and in the end, he ended up coming here even though he could only make simple conversations in Hangul and wouldn't be able to understand words that have more depth in it.
But he still came because the pay is good, and he can always play Fate Online using the Game Helmet he brought with him in his free time.
'Good thing I can always hire a translator at the branch'
Thought Michael to himself as he watched the passing scenery through the window.
Almost an hour later.
Michael arrived at a luxurious hotel where he had reserved a room on its third floor.
Arriving in his room, he quickly took off his clothes, took a quick shower and decided to get some rest first before he starts the business he came here for.
