Chapter 0
When the door burst open, Yeonwoo’s heart skipped a beat. Luckily, he managed to suppress his scream, shifting his gaze from the desk toward the source of the sudden noise.
It was none other than Yeonwoo’s boss, whom he had shared an intense night with just two days ago, entering through the open doorway. The heat of their encounter still lingered in Yeonwoo’s body. He fought back the urge to gulp and stood up, greeting his boss with the same respect as always.
“Is something amiss, Mr. Pittman?”
Yeonwoo already had a hunch about the answer, even before hearing a word. He held onto his racing heart, forcing himself to maintain a composed expression. Keith, looking as coldly beautiful as ever, twisted the corners of his mouth and let out a wry laugh.
“Oh, terribly amiss.” He tugged on his ear and clenched his teeth. “Some audacious bastard left their mark on me.”
Yeonwoo nearly bowed down and profusely apologized, but he managed to respond with a quick, “Oh.” Keith glared at Yeonwoo, dissatisfied with his reaction.
“‘Oh’? Is that all you have to say? Just ‘oh’?” Keith finally exploded, shouting at the top of his lungs.
His outburst was completely justified. Who would dare leave a mark on that arrogant man without his permission, let alone so brazenly?
“Do you remember who it was?” Yeonwoo calmly inquired.
Keith, slamming his fist against the wall, turned around and fixed Yeonwoo with a menacing scowl. Truthfully, if he had known, he wouldn’t be here in this state. Yeonwoo felt both terrified and relieved.
Who was the perpetrator that vanished after boldly claiming territory on Keith Knight Pittman’s body?
Keith would never find out. Yeonwoo reassured himself, convincing himself that everything would be alright.
After unleashing a tempest of rage upon Yeonwoo, Keith sighed and spoke again. “Summon Whitaker.”
Yeonwoo flinched at the mention of Keith’s chief personal bodyguard, whom Keith treated as his own right-hand man.
“Do you intend to find that person?”
“No.” Just as Yeonwoo began to relax, Keith added, “I plan to eliminate them.”
Keith ran his fingers through his tousled hair. In that moment, his eerily sweet smile felt like a death sentence to Yeonwoo.
