The car stopped in front of Emerald hotel, a twenty eight floored building. Ryan got down from the car and adjusted his suit. His hair was swept back, and he was wearing his black mask again since he was going as the CEO of Han group. Han group CEO cannot be known because most people know him as the almighty guardian of their souls. A random person can just say, out of nowhere 'I know you. You had saved me five years ago.' Seriously, this job....
He walked into the hotel with Leonel trailing behind. Their footsteps rugged and heavy that it pulled attention towards them. The staffs and people moving about in the lobby all turned their heads towards the duo. Ignoring the stares thrown at them, they walked towards the reception.
"Let your CEO know that Han group's CEO and the Chairman are here" Leonel spoke to the receptionist, but she just stared with her mouth slightly open. Wow...the chairman of Han group is really so gorgeous and young. He doesn't even look like his age. Then her eyes moved behind him to the masked man in black. Even when masked, he's beautiful. His suit fitted him perfectly. He must be Adonis. So beautiful!!
Seeing she was lost, Leonel cleared his throat and she jolted. "Oh...I'm sorry" she said with a slight bow and quickly made a call.
*...*...*..*
In a large spacious office, with slightly dark curtains, a young man sat on a chair. A middle-aged man too was in the room, seated as well. They were discussing when a knock was heard.
"Come in" the middle-aged man spoke and a man walked in. He bowed.
"Sir, the CEO of Han group, Han Yun Shin is here" he spoke with lowered head.
"What?"
"Should I let them in?" he asked. The man looked over at the young man, before turning back to the man.
"Yes. L-let them in" he said and the man bowed again before leaving.
"He's here" the man, Ji Kang woo spoke "Are you going to leave?"
"No" the young man answered. He seemed very young, probably in his early twenties. A smirk crawled up his face. Perfect timing, he thought. Meanwhile Ji Kang woo seemed disturbed. Meeting Han Yun Shin was something he never planned in his entire life. He know the rumours. He's a heartless and dead soul. Him coming here without being called only means death. He gulped, shivering at the thought.
The doors opened, and again, their rugged footsteps reached ears. They were accompanied by two guards who didn't leave when they reached the office. Ryan walked forward and towards the couch in front of the young man. He sat without being told to, crossing one leg gorgeously over the other and spreading his arms on the arm of the couch. A devilish grin curved his lips as he stared at the man with his head tilted to the side.
"Seo In Gang...." he drawled. "You look younger than I thought"
Seo In Gang stared back at him with a disdain look. He wasn't bothered. Almost everyone looked at him that way. Seo In Gang only wondered how he knew it was him.
And he gave a sinister smile "Han Yun Shin..." he also drawled "What brings you here?"
"You called me. Sorry for being late" Ryan replied.
"Oh..." Ji Kang woo chuckled softly "We had no idea you would be here...."
"We like giving surprises" Leonel spoke.
"What are you here for?" Ji Kang woo asked.
"Just wanted to see the mastermind behind the poisoning of my products before killing you" Ryan spoke "I didn't know it was a kid. Now you put me in a dilemma if I should you pardon you and kill your stand-in CEO instead" Ji Kang woo's heart rose to his throat.
"K-kill me?" he stuttered, and Ryan moved his eyes to his.
"Do you want to die?" he asked him.
"Ah..." he laughed again, trying to brush it off but chills ran down his spine "What a scary joke. Haha"
Ignoring the man, Ryan turned to Seo In Gang. "Before I start torturing you, I'll ask you one thing. What problem do you have with me?"
Seo In Gang just stared, looking amused. And then he averted his gaze after a few seconds "How about tea? You can't be in my office without having something" he smiled, and then gestured for tea to be served. A guard left, coming after a while with a woman holding the tray of tea. She served everyone in the room, bowed and left.
Seo In Gang picked his cup "Drink up. It's not poisoned" he told Ryan before sipping his, flashing a smile at him. Ryan glanced at Leonel, and he nodded at him. Saying it was okay to drink. With hardened jaws, Ryan picked the cup and brought it forward to his mouth. He inhaled the aroma. His jaws clenched even more and he moved the cup away from his mouth to the side. He turned the cup, spilling the tea to the floor. Everyone looked at him with a questioning gaze.
"You... What are you doing?!" Ji Kang woo was the first to yell, in a controlled tone, and Ryan dropped the cup to the floor. The sound of it shattering into pieces echoed in the room.
"Oops. I do not like sugar in my tea" he spoke nonchalantly, leaning back on the chair. Seo In Gang stared at him with such anger, he wanted to kill him. But he controlled himself. Leonel on the other hand almost face palmed. This young master.... Doesn't he know when to be rude? He felt like tugging hard at Ryan's hair.
"We can get you another tea without sugar in it" Seo In Gang said, and Ryan smiled.
"I'm not here for a tea party" he said. "Let's go back to business, shall we? What problem do you have with me?" he asked again. "First, you stole my goods. I pretended it didn't happen and let it slide. Next, you caused an assassination in Taesan corp. Causing it to go bankrupt. I lot a few shares. Next... you demanded to by our biggest shares which I own, just so you could have the highest seat. I rejected such rude offer, and all you could do as payback was to poison my products, putting lives at risk. I ask again... What problem...do you have with me?"
"I hate you" he simply said and Ryan scoffed. That wasn't something new to him. He felt nothing towards those words. So he just smiled.
"Why so? The last time I checked we've never met. We had no physical contact. So why?" he still asked.
Seo In Gang scoffed "You don't remember, do you?" he questioned, and Ryan's brows creased.
"You... You killed my parents"
