It took Sunye her entire willpower to keep her temper under control. Usually, she was quite affable and emotionless when it ca to dealing with people to the point that a lot of her colleagues thought she was a cold hearted person.
In many ways, she was. Unresponsive, aloof and non-intrusive were her traits because she believed that as long as sothing was not vital to her cases, she would ignore it. Which is why she blocked away everyone else in her mind, only caring about her own business. Not that she had much business to attend to in her free ti.
SD, however, was an exception.
Her temper rose every ti she thought about that man. She cursed the day of her law school graduation. Why did she end up eting the wolf in sheep's clothing?
And seeing herself in the mirror only made her blood boil even more.
"Fuck that guy!" she cursed. He had sent her the skimpy clothes and to her horror, she looked like so sort of kinky role player in a sultry school uniform! Wherever he was taking her, was not going to be a pleasant place to go and she regretted taking his help.
But even SD had so rules for himself which he surprisingly followed. He claid that he was open to requests from all sorts of clients, shady or not but he refused to trade information on any minors.
Moreover, Sunye had heard a rumor once that soone once hired him to keep an eye on a woman. The client who put in the request was a stalker who wanted to make sure the woman was not seeing anyone, leaving him to pursue her against her wishes.
SD seemingly did as he was told but then the woman went to the police station and filed a complaint against the client after an anonymous tip about his harassnt. She gave the evidence of how the man had taken inappropriate pictures of hers and also possessed videos of her in the shower. The police arrested the man and he was convicted. Sunye had heard from the other lawyers that the information broker the man had hired, returned the money to his account.
When Sunye asked SD about his involvent, he simply shrugged and replied, "Just because there's so ice in hell doesn't an the fire isn't gonna burn ya."
I would definitely set him up on fire but he'd probably turn it into a perverted fantasy, she thought in disgust. The crop top he got for her was too short. It barely covered her chest and left her flat stomach wide open. The skirt was also tiny and she wanted to wince. Her embarrassnt was increasing and she wanted to bury SD alive into the ground for making her wear such cheap clothes!
Her doorbell rang but she did not bother to open it. She knew very well that no doors in the world would keep SD away and just like she predicted, he was tying in her passcode to enter her house.
"Sunye!" he called out in his annoying singsong tone as he shalessly strode into her living room. "Your knight in shining armor is here!"
"You're more like the Wicked Witch of the West!" he heard her yelling from her bedroom. "Don't you dare enter my room!"
"I'd rather enter your bed but if you say so!"
She threw a series of unladylike curses at him but he sat on her couch. Crossing his legs in an elegant manner, he was patiently waiting for her while trying to imagine her look of embarrassnt once she put on the clothes he sent her. He was not particularly happy about making her wear those but the man they were about to et that night was inclined towards sexy won.
And it was vital for them to distract him so that SD could fulfill his mission.
He took out an envelope from his pocket and read its contents. It was the sa paper he had collected from President RIhan's office. The docunt in it gave details on a gold trade route which was being used to fund the Company. The gold was sourced via the mafia through the north eastern routes. The head of the mafia, Cho Kibum, held the information on the suppliers who were involved in the illegal gold trade and sowhere in that mansion, he held the list.
To get that list, SD needed a muse. And Sunye was the perfect person to lead him there.
He heard the bedroom door open and close. Sunye was nervously walking towards him, pulling her shirt and skirt down as much as she could. It was too revealing for her, exposing her porcelain like skin. She let her hair loose in an attempt to cover her back as much as possible.
To her horror, he was wearing completely normal clothes! He looked dapper in his plain black shirt with the first button undone and he matched it with a pair of black pants. Unlike his dayti properly combed and prim persona, he was more casual with ssy hair with bangs which reached till his eye brows, highlighting his striking blue eyes. The first ti Sunye had t SD, she actually thought he was breathtakingly handso.
Her opinion changed the very next day though. SD smirked at the deathly glares she threw at him.
"You really wanna kill don't ya?" he grinned.
Before she could reply, he suddenly stood up and moved towards her. Sunye was confused when he ca to stand in front of her. He was not that close to her but for so reason, she found it hard to breathe whenever he was around her.
"Your collar is undone," he said, fixing her collar. He was careful not to touch her skin but she squird a little when she felt his hands fixing her collar. Once he fixed it, SD stepped back to continue grinning at her. He knew how much his smirks irritated her and it was fun to see her boiling in anger like an angry tigress.
"I. Hate. You," she said, enunciating every word.
"I. Know," he said, mimicking her. "Now, let's get going!"
Sunye groaned and put on the jacket she was holding before following him out. They stepped on tot he elevator where she asked, "So what are we going to-"
"Not here, hun," SD warned. He was looking at sothing above his head and Sunye followed his gaze towards the CCTV cara.
"Why are you looking at that?" she frowned in confusion.
"In my business, we never discuss stuff in a place where it can be recorded," he murmured. "Never leave evidence. That's the rule."
Oh, Sunye realized. She briefly glanced at him. He was now looking straight ahead, still looking smug and haughty. The man may seem carefree and sadistic but Sunye also pitied him a little. For every second of his life, he had to stay on the lookout for enemies and threats. Why he chose such a fate for himself was beyond her comprehension.
"Are you pitying , Ms. Lawyer?" he asked, reading her mind.
"Yes," Sunye said in a flat tone. "I'd hate to have a life like yours."
He did not look at her when he replied, "And I'd hate to live a life like yours. It's too quiet."
Sunye pursed her lips and once the elevator reached the ground floor, she quickly walked out of the lift and headed for the exit. SD wordlessly brushed past her to bring his car while she waited for him.
As she stood on the steps of her building's entrance, she pondered on his words and surprisingly, she was not angry at him for it.
After all, she also hated her quiet life.
