Ellen arrived in fifteen minutes.

Ellin must have been in a hurry because she wasn’t even wearing socks. She was wearing a crumpled T-shirt and jeans.

“Boss. Did you call me…….”

Ellen’s expression hardened, as if she had a bad feeling about something.

Ugh… I feel so embarrassed. I never thought I’d get Hye-yoon’s help with something like this.

My pride as a man is hurt. I know how to use my fists a lot when I fight, but I never thought I would get beaten so much by a woman…

I sat on the sofa over there and tried to avoid eye contact with Elin and Hyeyoon.

Hyeyoon didn’t say anything and just glared at Ellin, who was standing in the hallway.

Elin, who seemed to have noticed why she had been called, lowered her head and answered.

“Boss. You know, for the boss, I-”

-puck!!

It was at that moment that the vase on top of the shoe rack struck Elin in the head.

Ellin staggered after being hit in the head by the vase that Hye-yoon threw.

“Boss, boss…… That, that…….”

Even at that moment, Ellen, holding her head, tried to make excuses.

“Cheeky bitch……..”

Hyeyoon’s voice trembled with anger.

Oops. This is the first time I’ve seen Hye-yoon’s lid open like that.

It’s scary to even say that. What should I do? Ms. Elin… You’re not really going to die, are you?

Hyeyoon suddenly opened the door and shouted outside.

“Guards! If there are guards outside, come here immediately!”

Soon, bodyguards wearing black suits and carrying rifles came rushing in from a distance.

“Yes, boss. You called-”

Hyeyoon snatched a rifle that looked to be about a meter long from the bodyguard without even listening to his answer and slammed the front door shut again.

gun?

West, no way……..

Hyeyoon swung the rifle with all her might.

-puck!

The sound of facial bones breaking.

It’s creepy,

Elin, who was hit square in the face with the buttstock, fell to the ground.

Phew….. Luckily, he didn’t shoot a gun.

But……. If you beat her up like that, I think Elin will die.

Hyeyoon swung her rifle around like she was going to kill Elin on the spot and started hitting her indiscriminately. It really seemed like she didn’t give her any mercy.

-puck!

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

Hit in the head with a club… Hit in the back… Hit in the ribs…

Are you really going to beat me to death?

Elin, covered in blood and a mess, collapsed on the floor, unable to speak, just opening her mouth like a goldfish.

I feel like I’m really going to catch someone like this. This isn’t going to work.

I quickly ran out and grabbed Hye-yoon and stopped her.

“Hye-yoon. Stop it. Stop it now. If you keep doing this, Ellin will die.”

“This arrogant bitch with no sense of hierarchy is really……. Haa……. Haa…… ”

Hyeyoon put down her rifle, took a deep breath, and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. She had beaten Elin so hard that sweat had formed on Hyeyoon’s forehead.

It seemed that his breathing had become ragged because he had exploded with anger.

Ellen was covered in blood and coughing.

With a gurgle, a clump of blood and broken teeth flowed out of Elin’s mouth.

Beating up a person like this… Hye-yoon must be really angry.

I know Elin was annoying, but I didn’t want it to get to this point… Ah…

Hyeyoon, who was looking down at Elin, muttered in a trembling voice as if her anger had not yet subsided.

“Elin. You’re a scandal.”

“Boss, boss…….”

Tears welled up in Ellin’s eyes as she lay there, her mouth hanging open.

“Get out of here. I don’t even want to look at you.”

“Boss… Yo, please forgive me………”

Hyeyoon opened the front door again and shouted.

“Are there any bodyguards? Someone take out the trash that’s strewn around here!”

Soon, a swarm of bodyguards came rushing in, grabbed Elin’s bloody arms and legs, and dragged her outside.

Hyeyoon, who had been mumbling to herself for a while, turned around to look at me and bowed her head slightly and politely.

“I’m sorry, Seongwon. I can’t manage the kids below me… I apologize.”

Wow…… This is the first time I’ve received a proper apology like this from Hye-yoon.

I was so amazed by that that I was taken aback for a moment, but then I quickly came to my senses and answered.

“By the way, is it okay to beat up Ms. Elin like that? There was no need to make a complete mess of her.”

“Insulting you is insulting me. I’m so angry.”

Hye-yoon answered like that and muttered as she walked to the living room.

“Ah….. I sweated a little. I need to shower again.”

Hyeyoon took off her T-shirt without a care and went back into the bathroom.

I gulped when I saw Hye-yoon’s well-toned butt.

This is what Hye-yoon looks like with the lid open.

omg.

***

The next morning.

Seol-hee was called to her father as soon as the sun rose.

Chairman Yoo sat with a serious expression on his face, gathering his thoughts.

“Father. What’s wrong?”

When Seol-hee appeared, Chairman Yoo, who had been thinking with an anxious expression, answered.

“I think a big shot in politics is about to make a move. Our company’s information network has a new source. It looks like they’re going to cut out Bin Hye-yoon.”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t Bin Hye-yoon steal the casino business rights of the Laance Group? It seems like that got on the nerves of the higher-ups. The so-called ‘elders’ started to move.”

“If you are an elder……”

“Baek format.”

“Ah…….”

Seol-hee was so surprised that she covered her mouth with both hands.

If it was Baek Hyeong-sik, Seol-hee also knew who it was.

Seven-term congressman. A strong candidate for the next presidential election. A politician from a prominent family. One of the most powerful figures in this country right now.

That kind of person cut off Bin Hye-yoon?

“How will Baek Hyung-sik deal with Bin Hye-yoon?”

When Seol-hee asked, Chairman Yoo nervously tapped his fingers on the table and answered.

“I won’t take you to court. Bin Hye-yoon also has many weaknesses. Black Emily must have poured a lot of money into politics.”

“Then…….”

“I’m going on an assassination mission. Probably.”

Seol-hee’s head quickly turned when she heard those words.

Baek Hyung-sik hurts Bin Hye-yoon? Then what happens after that?

Wait a minute. If Bin Hye-yoon dies, what about Seong-won…?

As Seol-hee bit her lips in thought, Chairman Yoo opened his mouth again.

“This time, don’t give information to Bin Hye-yoon.”

“Yes?”

“If Black Emily wins this fight, we can give her our strength. If Black Emily looks like she’s going to get crushed here, we can just side with Baek Hyung-sik. There’s no need to side with either side in advance. Let’s just watch for now.”

Seol-hee kept her mouth shut and did not answer.

I felt uneasy.

I guess I have a lot of affection for Bin Hye-yoon.

Before I knew it, I had emotionally decided in my heart that Bin Hye-yoon had to win.

Do I think of Bin Hye-yoon as a friend now?

Memories of drinking, laughing, and chatting with Bin Hye-yoon and Seong-won.

Memories of having fun together at the beach.

I remember chatting while eating together.

All those memories flashed through Seol-hee’s mind like a panorama.

Usually we don’t call that kind of relationship a friendship…….

Seol-hee’s face turned pale as her emotions wavered.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”

“Oh, no. Father. Yes. I think it would be better to just watch for now.”

“Yes. Because it could easily become a game where one side’s life could be lost.”

Seol-hee, with her head bowed, came out of her father’s room and looked at the sun that was beginning to rise.

How to do……

***

That moment.

“Ouch! Apply gently!”

Hyeyoon was applying ointment on my face.

Damn… I didn’t know I had this many bruises on my face.

I definitely realized.

The power of the mafia is on a different level from that of ordinary people, even if they are women.

“Don’t be embarrassed. Elin was a kid who rose through our organization with just her skills. It wouldn’t be strange at all if she had fighting skills that were on the level of a human weapon.”

Hyeyoon whispered while delicately applying ointment to my face.

“No. I think it’ll be okay if I just apply some ointment… Aren’t you a fan of Elin too much?”

“You should be punished for insulting the above. Hitting you is the same as hitting me.”

“Then what is the ripple effect…?”

“Now Elin is no longer a member of Black Emily. I can’t stand the kids below me being annoying.”

Um……. Is it really necessary to go that far…….

But I decided not to say any more.

Yeah. It was Elin who beat me up first under the pretense of a test. Now that I think about it, I think Elin was hot because she wanted to beat me up.

Then Hye-yoon’s decision must be right. Of course.

“I knew Alex and Elin had a crush on you.”

Hyeyoon closed the ointment cap with a click and opened her mouth like that.

“Really?”

“Yeah. But what can you do about human emotions? Even if I order them to get along with you, I can’t control their emotions. So I decided to just watch for now. Plus, Alex and Elin were good at their jobs in the organization”

“As expected….. I knew it all.”

“Okay. But I didn’t know Elin would do such a ridiculous thing. I apologize again.”

“It’s okay. It’ll get better after applying ointment. I didn’t get beaten to a pulp like Ellin.”

Hyeyoon seemed really embarrassed that her subordinate had caused an accident.

He apologized to me several times.

Hye-yoon is not the type of person to apologize easily…

“Okay. Then I should get ready for work.”

Hyeyoon muttered like that, got up from the sofa, and headed to the bathroom.

Then my phone rang.

It’s a call from Seol-hee.

“Oh, Miss Yoo Seol-hee? What are you calling me so early in the morning?”

I answered the phone while digging at my ear with my little finger.

“Where is Bin Hye-yoon? Where is Bin Hye-yoon now?”

Seol-hee’s voice was serious.

“Hye-yoon? She’s showering right now? Why? What’s going on?”

“Really?”

Seol-hee hesitated for a moment, then sighed and continued.

“No. It’s nothing. Hang up now.”

So the call ended.

What is it? What is going on again?

I was staring at my phone when an idea suddenly occurred to me.

Seol-hee believed that my phone was being tapped by Hye-yoon, so she never called me first unless it was really urgent.

But that Seol-hee called me on my phone…?

Is there an emergency??

***

Two hours later.

Hyeyoon’s office.

While Hye-yoon was working, turning over documents, a knock was heard.

“Come in.”

Then Alex came in.

Alex opened his mouth with a very nervous expression.

“Boss. Is it true that you excommunicated Elin?”

“Yeah.”

Hyeyoon answered roughly without taking her eyes off the documents.

Alex coughed politely and opened his mouth with difficulty.

“…….Elin is a good child and loyal. It’s true that she did something wrong, but…….Can’t you show her mercy just this once?”

“……..”

“Elin is currently in shock from being abandoned by her boss and is unable to eat or drink.”

Hye-yoon, who had just closed the documents, glared at Alex.

Alex hesitated and stepped back at the boss’s sharp gaze.

“Why are you telling me that? Are you making me feel guilty? Did I do something wrong?”

“Oh, no, boss. I don’t want Elin to be excommunicated for such a trivial mistake……”

“Minor mistake?”

Hyeyoon suddenly stood up.

Hye-yoon, who was alone with her arms crossed, slowly approached Alex.

“Do you really think it’s a minor mistake?”

Alex broke out in a cold sweat.

I realized I had made a mistake.

He quickly lowered his head and answered hurriedly.

“No, boss. I misspoke. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

Hye-yoon, who was glaring at Alex, opened her mouth with dignity.

“Don’t ever talk to me about that again. Even if you’re Alex, I won’t leave you alone.”

“……Okay, boss.”

“Elin was about to kill him on the spot, but she forgave him out of old feelings. There is no more tolerance.”

Alex, who had been bowing his head, now realized clearly.

That there is Woo Sung-won’s shadow behind the boss.

The fact that Boss and Woo Sung-won are beings on the same level.

Now, I had no choice but to accept it for sure, as inevitable. And I had no choice but to acknowledge reality.

“I’m sorry. I will behave properly in the future.”

Alex apologized like that.

As if apologizing to a fan who wasn’t there.
