chapter 12
First of all, it is true that both of them are tall and handsome. While Kwon Young-jae was a classic and orthodox handsome man, Kwon Young-ho had sharp eyes and a trendy vibe. Also, compared to Kwon Young-jae who was calm and rational, Kwon Young-ho had a rather impulsive personality.
Their usual way of doing work and the direction in which they pursued business were different. Needless to say, their lifestyles were different, and their tastes were definitely polar opposites.
Although they were both born with a silver spoon in their mouths and were even the same alpha, Kwon Young-ho had a serious inferiority complex toward Kwon Young-jae.
He was extremely jealous of Kwon Young-jae’s title of ‘dominant alpha’, who was two years younger than him. Since he was always behind in performance, he put all his efforts into gathering supporters within the company in order to secure a position commensurate with his position.
Thanks to this, even though they were both executive directors, Kwon Young-ho had far more influence within the company, but it is not easy to lose an inferiority complex. He must have been living with the thought of trampling on Kwon Young-je in his heart, and he was so bloodshot that he would come up with all sorts of schemes if he had the chance.
That’s why he spread the rumor about Goja this time. He wanted to embarrass Kwon Young-je, and he wanted to somehow tarnish that great alpha.
However, contrary to expectations, Kwon Young-je didn’t suffer the slightest blow. Not only did he look great, but his composure and confidence remained the same. Rather, it was Kwon Young-ho who spread the rumor that was shaking his mentality.
Kwon Young-ho ground ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) his molars in frustration.
“Don’t make me laugh. How did you meet an omega?”
“Why? We met and did everything we wanted to do.”
Kwon Young-je, who finished reviewing the last of the documents and signed them, leisurely crossed his long legs while twisting his chair toward Kwon Young-ho. The corners of his mouth drew a diagonal line.
“Right, Secretary Kim?”
Kwon Young-ho turned his head and glared at Kim Hee-won, who was standing in the corner.
What is this… There’s no such thing as an evil spirit. Is it the history of the Kwon family? His gaze was not usually fierce. Hee-won didn’t show any particular action and just stood there quietly.
“When you say nice things, end it with Seon Woo-jin.”
“What right do you have?”
“You’re not sincere anyway! I know you’re meeting me to screw me over!”
“Do you really need sincerity to get along?”
Damn, Kwon Young-ho cursed. You unlucky bastard, don’t give in to me!
“Don’t you have any manners? Did it have to be Seon Woo-jin?”
“I’m surprised that you’re talking about morality in front of me.”
The back of the chair creaked and fell backward. Unlike his relaxed posture, Kwon Young-je’s smile became even colder.
“You touched me without that much preparation?”
Kwon Young-ho was on the verge of death. Unable to bear the surging anger, he slammed his right foot on the floor.
“I hit him first!”
“If someone heard that, they’d think it was the love of the century. You shivered just hearing my name.”
Kwon Young-ho paused at that. Even though he was a pervert, his feelings for him must have been sincere. Kwon Young-ho creaked his lower jaw like a broken robot, as if he was quite shocked by what he had just heard.
Kwon Young-je burst into laughter and picked up his phone as if he was going to show off.
“If you don’t believe me, call Woo-jin to confirm?”
“Fuck! Seon-woo is your last name!”
Kwon Young-ho slammed his chest and let out a roar that was almost like an aah! I was on the verge of going crazy because this guy stole my omega.
At that moment, the air purifier motor spun like crazy. Even as the verbal argument went on and on, it seemed like an invisible war of nerves was going on between the alphas.
Hee-won watched the numbers rising endlessly and opened the window wide. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky today.
The weather was so nice. I stared at the blue sky without a care in the world. Pheromone fights were harmless to betas anyway.
"Hey! You wake up!"
Kwon Young-ho couldn't stand it anymore and strode toward Kwon Young-je. Hee-won, who had been quietly watching the situation, immediately ran over and blocked Kwon Young-ho.
"Director, calm down!"
"Get out of the way?"
"This is the company!"
"What if it's the company! Is there anyone who doesn't know that shitty relationship between that guy and me?!"
Hee-won desperately blocked him using his body as a shield. He was pushed back by the chest bumping against his chin, and his face was stabbed by Kwon Young-ho's swinging sword.
In fact, if Alpha turns his attention properly, Beta can't handle it no matter what he does. The fact that he can stop him this much means that Kwon Young-ho still has his sense of reason.
"Let's go for now. Tell me about Seon Woo-jin."
"Secretary Kim, are you free? Don't waste your time on trivial things."
Cold words flew behind him. It was the sound of pouring oil, not helping.
As expected, hot steam gushed out from Kwon Young-ho's widened nostrils.
"You really won't let me go! I'm going to die a lot today!"
"Shit, Director."
As Kwon Young-ho rushed at him, Hee-won grabbed his torso with all her might and put strength into her shoes that were being pushed back.
Why are all the Alphas with the last name Kwon like this? The poor secretary was the only one who was getting hurt in the whale fight.
I barely managed to console Kwon Young-ho and went outside with him. The quick-witted members of the secretary’s office were probably hiding in the break room, so I couldn’t even see their noses.
Kwon Young-ho was still furious and grumbling. Hee-won wiped the sweat off his forehead as he watched his tie getting ruffled.
“Don’t you know that if there’s a fuss, it won’t be good for Director Kwon?”
“Am I not getting angry right now?”
“Director Kwon Young-ho was the one who provoked me first.”
If we look at the causal relationship, this all happened because Kwon Young-ho spread false rumors.
“Let me ask you one thing. Are you two really dating? Is it real?”
“I can’t answer your personal questions.”
“Well, you’re on Kwon Young-je’s side to the bone. I didn’t expect much.”
Kwon Young-ho let out a deep breath. He glanced at Kim Hee-won in front of him with his long, slitted eyes.
She was the secretary that the picky Kwon Young-je personally selected. He was a man who didn’t know how to keep people by his side, but Secretary Kim was an exception. Maybe that’s why Secretary Kim’s loyalty was also remarkable.
This was something that Kwon Young-ho couldn’t understand, since he just picked anyone to be his secretary.
What’s different about Kim Hee-won? He doesn’t know why, but he covets everything Kwon Young-je has. He thought there was something special, so Secretary Kim, who he had never paid attention to, began to look different.
“Secretary Kim, how much do you get paid?”
“Yes?”
“How much do you get paid by Kwon Young-je? I’ll double it.”
Hee-won blinked his eyelids slowly.
“Ah.”
It didn’t take long for my brain to recognize that what I just heard was a scouting offer. Before I could even answer, the corners of my mouth formed a classic smile.
“I get paid a lot.”
“How much does a secretary’s salary amount to? Everyone knows that. Secretary Kim is struggling with her low salary.”
Kwon Young-ho patted her shoulder and gripped Hee-won’s shoulder joint tightly.
“It must be a lot of emotional labor to be a young bastard. Come under me. Even though I’m like this, I’m a very kind person to my secretary.”
“…….”
“Why aren’t you answering… Why is your expression so rotten?”
Hee-won realized only then that the corners of her mouth were down. Her facial muscles were broken because she had heard such a ridiculous statement.
Her upper teeth were exposed and the corners of her mouth were curved downward, so how daunting her expression must have been.
“No, that’s impossible.”
She quickly pulled her lips together and put on her original smile, but Kwon Young-ho had already seen it all.
Sa Baek-an's eyes widened.
"You really don't like it, do you?"
"I was just surprised because it was such an excessive offer."
"Hey, it's okay. I was just saying that, too."
Kwon Young-ho blew air with a bubbling face. Today, his pride was like a pig's urine.
"Anyway, you and Kwon Young-je are the same. You're both really annoying."
I wish you all would fail! Kwon Young-ho cursed and left. He looked so childish and emotional that it made you wonder if he was really a thirty-three-year-old adult man.
Hoo. Hee-won let out a long sigh and shook her shoulder. Secretary Kwon Young-ho, oh my, that's horrible. I don't even want to think about it.
He cleaned up his expression and went back into the office. Kwon Young-jae was concentrating on his work as if nothing had happened.
He saw the air purifier become quiet and closed the window. He diligently went around the room to check if there was anything he needed to take care of, and when he turned around, Kwon Young-jae was staring intently at Hee-won.
He seemed to have something to say, so he approached him. Kwon Young-jae put his fountain pen down on the desk and turned his chair toward where Hee-won was standing.
“What about Kwon Young-ho?”
“He seemed to believe in the scandal. He seemed to have given up.”
Kwon Young-jae interlocked his fingers without saying anything. Their long and delicate fingers were elegantly intertwined. He placed his interlocked hands on his lower abdomen and was lost in thought.
“How much is left on the sponsorship contract?”
“It ends this week. Should I contact the reporter?”
Seon Woo-jin was about to go overseas. They had already agreed on the reason for their breakup. It was a very obvious reason, such as the breakup due to a stalemate in their relationship caused by their busy schedules.
“Go ahead. The article will be released in three days.”
“Yes, Managing Director.”
An interview with Team Leader Hwang Seong-il of the New Business Development Team was scheduled for 15 minutes. Hee-won checked his watch and informed him of this.
“I’d like the interview to be postponed by an hour.”
“Is there any reason for this…?”
“Something more important came up.”
Regarding Secretary Kim’s contract renewal. Kwon Young-je added concisely.
As if he was determined to settle the matter today. Kim Hee-won’s contract renewal pushed aside Kwon Young-je’s other schedules and became the number one priority to deal with.
“You can double my salary. Kwon Young-ho said he’d give it to me, so there’s no reason I wouldn’t.”
When did I hear that…? Hee-won smiled hypocritically as she watched Managing Director Kwon’s cold smile. If you don't sign, I won't let you go home.
