“Lawyer. A lawyer from Daejung Law Firm has come looking for you. He said that he would like to meet with you…..”

“Daejung? What for?”

“He said he would like to tell you in person.”

“Really? Where is he?”

“I showed him to the meeting room for now.”

“Alright.”

Daejung is among the top 10 law firms of Korea. None of the lawsuits that Baek Seung Ho was currently working on involved Daejung. This must be in relation to a new lawsuit, and the only new lawsuit was that of Yoon Kwang Hun.

‘That Producer catches on quickly.’

A representative had come to take his offer on settling the case before going to court. Baek Seung Ho went to the meeting room, eager to meet the representative.

A familiar face was drinking coffee in the meeting room.

“Huh? Who is this? Lawyer Yoo.”

“You’ve been well? How long has it been? Has it been about… a year?”

Lawyer Yoo In Tae was two years Baek Seung Ho’s junior but since he was a year older, they spoke casually. They were not close friends, but had an appropriate relationship where they saw each other’s faces occasionally. It was the most comfortable distance to maintain in a professional relationship.

“You should have called before you came. You surprised me.”

“I thought of calling to meet somewhere outside too, but it’s official work.”

“Official work? What’s going on?”

When Baek Seung Ho slyly pretended he did not know, Lawyer Yoo scrounged his face as though his head hurt.

“It’s because of the reason why you’re getting so popular these days.”

“What? Are you talking about Jun Hyuk?”

“Stop. What show are you trying to put on when you know everything. I’m here because we took on that case.”

“Really? Where is it? It must be a big press office if they can get Daejung.”

A list of the biggest press offices passed through Baek Seung Ho’s head quickly.

“I got 8 press offices together. I thought you would find it bothersome to get everyone together, so I did it beforehand. You like it?”

“8 of them? Only Daejung.”

“You know we have pretty good business, it’s just our performance that falls short. Ha ha.”

Lawyer Yoo In Tae who was laughing casually began to speak comfortably,

“Lawyer Baek, let’s do it the easy way. Tell me what your conditions are.”

“First, what’s the extent of your authority? Do you have to report everything to your client?”

“I have to report it if it crosses the Maginot Line.”

“Don’t change the direction. How far is the Maginot Line.”

“Hey, Lawyer Baek! Isn’t it too much to ask to see the cards as soon as they’re dealt? Ha ha.”

After Jun Hyuk and Yoon Kwang Hun’s press conference, the internet had been on fire. Korean press offices had declined as tabloids and their dashboards had so many malicious comments that one outlet even shut down. After a week, it was quiet as though nothing had happened. It had already become a thing of the past.

If Peace’s lawsuit started here, they would be lighting the fire again. The press offices wanted to avoid this situation. Any lawsuit was the subject of press, but press offices should not become that subject.

“Since the ball is in your court, you throw it. Then we can decide if we’re going to avoid it or hit it. We’re in defense.”
