Absolute Advantage Chapter 38.2

Back home, Hae-won paused when she saw Adam's shoes on the porch. It was when she wondered if she was at home all day or if she had come back from work.

“You're here?”

Adam rushed out to meet her.

“Do you want to eat or take a bath first?”

“Have you been waiting for this whole time?”

“Yes.”

“What about your company?”

“Home.”

Adam answered briefly.

“So, food? Bath?”

Then he asked again.

Hae-won stood still in embarrassment, and Adam naturally took the bag from Hae-won's hand.

Thud.

But as soon as Adam picked up the bag, he threw it away.

Hae-won stared blankly at the bag sprawling on the floor and looked up.

The moment her eyes met Adam, she got goosebumps on her spine. Fierce gray eyes were glaring at the beach.

It was precisely the smell of a stranger surrounded by Hae-won, but Hae-won misunderstood that his thin ice-like gaze was directed at her.

It was only when Adam realized that Haewon had shrunk. His ferocious look was gone, but his eyes were still sharp.

Adam circled around Hae-won with a watchful air. It was like a cat with fur on its back, wary of its owner, who held other animals.

“Oh, Adam?”

“What's this smell?”

Adam, who went around Haewon, murmured in a discontented voice. He did not ask again if he had said it in hopes of an answer.

Haewon's body was smeared with the lingering scent of an unfamiliar omega. Why did this woman go out to work and come back after smelling another omega?

Adam's eyes became more persistent.

Hae-won runs a small company alone, with only the Seohwa Group attached to the foundation's name. The number of employees did not exceed 10.

Of the few employees, he knows that there are four Omega. All of them were married and women, and it made no sense that one of them buried the smell in Haewon.

Adam approached Haewon again and sniffed. As he became more sensitive, he discovered it was a man's reverberation.

An omega male.

Adam took a step back like a startled beast. The gray eyes shook at a loss.

Adam was not the only one to be surprised. She's never seen Adam so shocked in front of Haewon before.

“What's wrong? Is something wrong?”

He'd rather ask her something. Adam gathered himself and strode to Haewon.

“Who is it?”

Adam asked abruptly.

She thought she would come to her senses, but she was in a hurry and her words got shorter. Hae-won couldn't understand because she cut back and forth.

“Who did you meet today?”

Adam raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Of course it was counterproductive, and it is evident to everyone that he pretended to laugh.

“I don't think I know him.”

Adam added quietly.

Only then did Haewon realize why Adam was acting like this. It must be because of the actor she met today. Maybe the scent was smeared when she hugged him in the car.

“Is it because of the reverberation? That's the first person I met today,”

“I don't know who he is, but I have to admit that he's vulgar. When you first met, would you fearlessly bury his reverberations on a woman who has a fiance?”

Adam cut off Haewon's words.

Yes, he was a fearless omega. Does he know who the partner of Seo Haewon is? Hold on. He's also an alpha to Seo Hae-won, and the alpha can't be a match.

Bad thoughts followed suit. He wanted to stop thinking at all, but it wasn't as easy as he thought.

He's nervous.

That's how anxious he was.

And the complicated feelings penetrated Adam's gray eyes.

“Wait, Adam. I don't know your thoughts, but it's all a misunderstanding.”

Haewon tried to calm such Adam down.

“Oh, really? What does he do?”

Adam raised one eyebrow and provoked, “He's an actor…….”

Haewon rolled her eyes.

Come to think of it, she couldn't ask for a name. No, the man shut his mouth every time he gave her his name.

The silence of Haewon lengthened. It was actually a short time of less than five seconds. But it was enough to drive Adam crazy.

Adam trembled under his eyes with betrayal. He feels like a moron, waiting for Haewon to return from work.

Adam gritted his teeth and asked.

“Are you lying in front of me?”

“What? Never mind. I'm not lying, ugh!”

Adam snatched Haewon's body.

Haewon's body collapsed to the floor in an instant. And Adam's shadow cast over her.

“Oh, Adam, calm down. Let's calm down and talk……!”

Hae-won nudged Adam's shoulder.

It's been a long time since she had enough time to listen, whether it's a lie, an excuse, a misunderstanding. Anyway, it was true that Haewon had the scent of a man.

It's done.

It's a reverberation, and it's enough to cover it up again. He'll make a body that the actor can't even think of. The first jealousy he felt in his life made Adam's head spin.

“Adam…”
