“What’s going on?”

“The conversation we had earlier…….”

Louis looked around and blurted out the end of his speech. Hae-won, who was trying to remember what kind of conversation it was, noticed and became pale.

He got it.

“Let me help you.”

Even before Hae-won opened her mouth, Louis took the lead.

“I think a private investigator will be dangerous. They may harm you later.”

Louis strained his eyes and looked at Haewon.

Louis, who she always seemed to have to take care of, felt reassured for the first time. No matter how thin and pretty he looked, a man seemed to be a man.

But Louis is an omega.

As long as the person she was looking for was an Alpine, he could attract Louis, an omega.

Hae-won took a step closer to Louis and gently grabbed him by the shoulder. When Hae-won’s hand touched his body, Louis stiffened like a surprised small animal.

“CEO..…?”

The brave figure just now disappeared, and only the shy red-faced man remained alone.

“I’m sorry. I’m worried about Louis for saying such nonsense.”

Hae-won’s face became sullen. Louis came to his senses late and shook his head.

“Don’t apologize, CEO! I-I…….”

Louis stopped talking for a moment,

“This time, I want to help the CEO. Can’t I?”

he looked at Haewon with moist eyes. Even though he was looking down, it looked like he was hanging from above. Hae-won smiled at Louis.

And said firmly.

“Yes, you can’t.”

Hae-won let go of his shoulders and stood straight up.

“I’ll just accept your sincerity.”

Hae-won could only give a cliche answer to Louis’s sincerity.

In fact, she was more worried about Adam than Louis. Being alone in a small space with Louis, Adam, who is exceptionally sensitive, will quickly notice.

And it will hurt him again.

She didn’t want to do anything Adam wouldn’t like anymore. He’s already been hurt too much. Even without even realizing it, he kept getting hurt.

A pitiful man.

Her existence was hurting Adam every second. Still, she couldn’t give up. One can say she’s selfish about this.

“I’ll be going now. Oh, and can’t you just ignore the conversation we just talked about?”

When Hae-won asked with a very sorry sight, Louis nodded helplessly with more depressed eyes.

* * *

Hae-won waited for the director’s call with a feeling of blood drying day by day. But she knew, too.

There’s only one answer.

‘Actually, the surest way is through a private investigator.’

These days, it seems that there are businesses that operate with signboards because it is called an errand center. Even so, the risk was too great for Haewon.

It was because she was a public figure as a member of the Seohwa group. There is a possibility that she will be threatened with this in the future if she borrows a hand clumsily.

Louie’s worries are understandable.

‘What can I do?’

Hae-won sighed deeply while covering her face with her hands. Fortunately, Adam hasn’t noticed anything yet.

Adam visited Haewon’s house every day to feed her homemade home-cooked meals and checked her health. Hae-won’s symptoms have improved a lot as if his sincerity has been reached.

Adam had days to sleep and days to just go back. And whenever Hae-won wanted, he hugged her without a word until she was satisfied.

Days that were ostensibly unchanged continued for several days.

But now this situation was similar to the water in the cup holding out narrowly.

Namely,

The water in the cup will overflow even with a very weak stimulus.

It was all a matter of time.

At that time, Bora suddenly opened the door of her office and came in.

Haewon had a hunch of blue.

“CEO! Did you see the news?”

“What’s up, Bora?”

Bora held out her cell phone.

“This is an article posted on the portal site today.”

“?”

Hae-won quickly scanned the title with her eyes.

[Dobong Asset Management fund manager A is accused of manipulating stock prices of tens of billions of dollars. Suspected involvement of a vice president of a large corporation.]

“There was a rumor that a large company that came out here is JS. Another article details his personal information, but wait a minute.”

Bora tapped the screen and showed her cell phone again. Hae-won muttered along with the article without realizing it.
