“(thank you.)”
“(I’ve booked a hotel, let’s go there.)”
“(Oh my God? A hotel? Sneaky.)”
Elisa poked my chest with her finger.
no. for a moment. When I say a hotel, do I look like that?
I didn’t mean to look like a beast, so I quickly made an excuse.
“(Not today)”
“(Isn’t it just today?)”
“(No. So.)”
Why is the weather so hot today?
“(Then, shall we bring the prospective wife’s carrier down again?)”
“(Yes. Please.)”
When Elisa replied with a smile, Seo Kang-jae went back into the house.
‘By the way, seeing that nothing is said about the prospective wife, this must be a green light, right?’

Dokgo Gap’s study.
He was receiving a report from a subordinate.
Elisa Carver’s face floated on the screen.
“Elisa Carver visited Jaegu Kim’s house?”
“Yes, it is.”
The corner of Dokgo Gap’s mouth went up.
‘I didn’t think you’d be an ordinary big man. Was the Carver Company behind it?’
I would like to propose an alliance
Dok-go-gap’s thoughts about the Dok-go group were firm.
‘Dokgo Group must change.’
Dokgo Group’s holding company was Dokgo Metal, but Dokgo Construction was the company Dokgo Jin had the most affection for.
‘It’s a company that started out as construction gangsters and has been revived, but now the world has changed.’
The first company to stand out and grow was definitely Dokgo Construction. Dokgo-jin was able to rise to where he is today thanks to a gang of gangsters and laborers working at the construction site.
Due to the nature of Nogada, where all kinds of human groups gather, he was able to continuously recruit new talents, and through this, he used to wipe the backs of politicians.
Even if they got caught, they were able to get rid of people by cutting their tails in the middle manager line.
‘At that time, there were not as many CCTVs as there are now, and forensic science was in its infancy.’
If you work carefully, avoiding the investigation was not a problem. But now, there was a possibility that if you made a mistake, you would be caught by the tail.
‘It’s a Carver Company…’
The foreign invasion has arrived.
If large corporations of a different scale than the chaebols who used to play in a small land like Korea are watching the Republic of Korea, the radius of action will narrow.
‘I was wondering why there are so many titanium security.’
I thought that there could be no way that more than 20 bodyguards came in to protect just one person. It was clear that he was drawing and moving a bigger picture than that.
Even those who looked like detached units were captured. I couldn’t follow because I was caught quickly, but there was a possibility that it was larger than it looks.
‘Why did it have to be Dokgo Commerce? ah!’
Something popped into his mind.
If the Savannah Market was included in the Carver Company’s cartel, the picture would be like that.
At Savannah Market, the conditions proposed by Dokgo Commerce would have been more than distasteful. In the meantime, they found Kim Jae-gu, and he must have been the right talent for them.
‘Han Ho-jae of Daehan Market would have been a more suitable person for them to wield. Was the Savannah Market behind B&T Financial?’
Even if you think of assets, you are right.
‘If the Carver Company formed an alliance with Savannah Market, it wouldn’t be difficult to mobilize 7 trillion won.’
I thought that Dok-go-jeong’s approach to Savannah Market might have been their grand design. Then, goose bumps broke out on his forearms.
‘Are you trying to advance into Korea?’
Dokgo Commerce merged with Daehan Market and Chosun Trading. Savannah Market couldn’t come in directly, so it made sense if they planted them as outposts in Korea.
‘I thought it was suspicious that Daehan Market suddenly revived. But if Savannah Market stands behind it, it’s quite possible.’
If Dokgo Commerce rejected Savannah Market’s offer, and Daehan Market accepted the offer, it would have been possible. Rejection of market number 1 and acceptance of number 2. If so, there is a reason to drop the first place and raise the second place.
‘under. That’s what it was.’
And then Taesan.
Perhaps it was more difficult to grow the logistics industry than I thought, but the best product could not grow into a company that functions properly.
So, I brought in Taesan. So Taesan had no choice but to look like the rear.
‘Sooner or later, Daehan Market and Taesan Products will sign a contract.’
Recently, there was a report that an executive from Taesan Sangsan Industrial visited Daehan Market. I didn’t think Taesan was behind Kim Jaegu, but it was the information I got through Dokgojin because he was in the surveillance range.
‘ruler. Then what should I do?’
Dokgojeong, Dokgoeul, Dokgojin. And then it would be his turn. Unlike his family, he prided himself on living a relatively tidy life, but he still couldn’t avoid doing dirty work for business management.
So it could be dangerous if attacked by the Carver Company Federation. Even if you attack a group with a good image through frequent donations, you won’t be able to prevent the Dokgo group from collapsing.
‘Rather than that…’
Perhaps the time has come to inherit the throne.

Should we call this a date?
It was a Namsan walking trail that I had been to many times, but the feeling of walking surrounded by four tall people was extraordinary.
Elisa tore off the cotton candy and brought it to my mouth.
“(Jaegoo, open your mouth.)”
“(Miss Elisa, eat.)”
“(I want to feed Jaegu?)”
I can’t help it if I want to feed it.
It was childish behavior, but when she opened her mouth, a sweet cloud of cotton candy came in. The cotton candy melted as soon as it touched my tongue.
“(It’s delicious.)”
“(Isn’t that right? Then, Mr. Jaegu will feed you this time.)”
“(Okay. I like Elisa, so I should give her a lot.)”
Elisa freaked out when she took out a handful of cotton candy.
“(It doesn’t fit in one bite.)”
“(You can eat slowly.)”
“(Maybe?)”
The bodyguards tried to look away. I can’t help but feel sorry for Elisha, who has come a long way, even though it’s chicken meat.
The sight of him walking surrounded by four bodyguards was enough to attract the attention of passers-by.
“Who are these people?”
“Looks like a movie star.”
“Are you a foreign actor?”
“Does the man look Korean?”
Elisa’s good looks drew people’s attention. It was because I was wearing a dress that would not be strange even on the runway right now and showed off my cool legs.
Her face was also quite beautiful.
“Ah! I know that man.”
“who?”
“Della Foster is the main character in this music video.”
“Has the Della Foster music video been released?”
“The music video hasn’t been released yet, but this time the teaser video came out…”
My face heated up at the word music video. It wasn’t that they directly kissed each other, but seeing Elisa’s eyes felt burdensome because they had also filmed a kissing scene.
“(Mr. Jaegu. Why are you like this all of a sudden?)”
“(it’s nothing.)”
“(Because of Della Foster’s teaser video?)”
It would have been nice if Della Foster would have informed us before releasing the teaser video. I don’t know why you know through other people’s mouth.
Elisa clenched her fists and snorted.
“(It’s okay. I can tolerate Jae-goo kissing another woman for work.)”
“(I didn’t really do it.)”
“(It’s okay. It’s work.)”
“(No. Even if it’s work, I don’t kiss people when I’m dating someone.)”
“(Oh my. Really?)”
“(of course.)”
“(Well, it wasn’t the time to go out with me at that time. It doesn’t matter if you shoot a kissing scene.)”
“(I swear I didn’t really do it.)”
Elisa teased me for a while, wondering if my embarrassment was fun. As my face turned red with embarrassment, her wrist wrapped around my neck.
“(Who would think he’s a divorced man when he’s so naive?)”
“(Ah… no. So.)”
“(Close your eyes.)”
As I gently closed my eyes, Elisa’s scent drew closer. Then the footsteps of the bodyguards were heard, and Elisa’s soft lips touched.
‘A manly thing like this outdoors.’
Unlike her head, her body wrapped around her waist.
When we shared a hot kiss and opened our eyes, the backs of bodyguards were blocking us.
“(You are not allowed to take pictures.)”
Even the paparazzi(?) stopped them.
Elisha laid my neck.
“(Sorry. It’s so cute I wanted to make fun of it.)”
What’s so cute about an old man?
“(are you okay.)”
Elisa’s thin fingers grabbed my hand. My hands were cold from the chilly wind.
“(Jaegu’s hands are warm.)”
“(Hold tight.)”
The bodyguards opened up the gap, and we started walking along the Namsan road again. Holding hands and walking together, the fresh feelings of the early days of dating revived and my heart tickled.
There was a revolving restaurant on the upper floor of Namsan Tower. Fortunately, I was able to make a reservation because the price was quite reasonable.
If money could buy the wait, he was willing to pay.
We chose couples seating. Elisa exclaimed in admiration when she saw the flower decorations by the window.
“(So pretty.)”
Outside the window, I could see a forest of buildings. It was the appearance of Seoul that would be more beautiful in the evening.
Since the restaurant was still running little by little, I was able to enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view slowly.
The bodyguards had no choice but to sit in pairs awkwardly, but I believe they got used to it by going around with me.

Jaffrey prepared to eat, leisurely and wary of his surroundings.
“(Can we eat like this?)”
“(Eat properly when the boss buys for you.)”
“(The boss is a very nice person.)”
Their seats were arranged around us so that we could deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Course dishes started coming out one by one.
“(Wow. It sounds really good.)”
“(You’ve come a long way, enjoy your meal.)”
Elisa laughed bashfully.
“(I think it will taste better if Jaegu feeds it.)”
“(···.)”
“(just joke.)”
“(No. I’ll feed you.)”
Unlike Seo Eun-chae, who was annoyed when I fed her, I liked the way she actively expressed her liking for me.
She dipped the appetizer well with a fork and brought it to her mouth.
“(Miss Elisa. Open your mouth.)”
“(ah.)”
A small piece of gimbap slipped into her mouth.
“(I’ll feed you this time. Jaegu, open your mouth.)”
okay. this is a date
***
I escorted Elisa to the hotel and returned home. It would be better if we were together every day, but I came because I had something to do in Korea.
Instead, he did not forget to attach two bodyguards to Elisa. They would wait in the living room and deal with any problems.
‘It’s dangerous if a Carver family lady wanders around without a bodyguard.’
Alec Carver always had a bodyguard with him except for parties. But Elisha was different. She always went alone.
So it was easy to approach, and at the same time I was worried.
‘Anyway, what kind of teaser video is it?’
When I entered Della Foster’s Stargram, the address of the teaser music video was listed on the main page.
When I clicked it, I was immediately moved to New Tube.
[(He probably never even dreamed of it.)]
It was provoking people from the start.
Then she started singing a sweet song with a beautiful voice. It was a partly edited song, but I could tell that it was a good song.
A man and a woman making eye contact against the background of the sea.
And a kind but careless man and a woman who looks at him with vague eyes.
[(He probably doesn’t know.)]
And that ignorant man was me.
When I took a close-up shot of my face, I felt like I was going to die of shame.
“Ah. I’m going crazy.”
