Absolute Advantage Chapter 42.2

“This is the hoodie I was wearing at the fan signing event. That's for sure.”

“I see….”

Haewon nodded with a sigh.

“Bora, you have a good eye.”

The congenial pair straightened their backs at the same time.

“What?”

“Huh….”

But in that short period, the man believed to be Louis disappeared.

Bora stamped her feet. Haewon soothed Bora.

“Let's go back. Who knows, he might be waiting for us.”

“Well, I guess so. If you go straight up this road, it's in the direction of our foundation.”

“There isn't…”

She arrived at work, but there was no one around.

Bora was pressing the password with a gloomy face, and there was a rustling sound in a narrow gap next to the building.

Bora, who turned her head in the direction of the sound, hardened as it was.

It was the man in the hood whom the two desperately sought. The man who came out of the alley was so careful that he was like a street cat looking for food, not a person.

“Louis……?”

Hae-won spoke on behalf of Bora, who was surprised. But there was no certainty in the voice.

The man had a small face, so he seemed to be wearing a cape, not a hood. The shadow over his face was so big that she couldn't see him.

Hae-won bowed her head to check the face covered by the hood, wondering if Louis was really right. Then Louis quickly pulled up the hood.

“Yes, Louis.”

Louis answered, looking at the end of the ground, politely putting his hands together. His face had become gaunter in a day.

Louis, who looked dimly up, opened his eyes wide when he saw Bora standing next to Haewon.

“Oh…….”

Louis raised his hand low as if he recognized Bora. The index finger pouted out of the long sleeve and pointed at Bora. Then he realized it was rude and hurriedly lowered his arm.

“The person I met at the fan signing event.”

Louis said with a sneer of laughter.

“T-that's right! You remembered……!”

Bora, who had been frozen like ice, took a step forward. Then he quickly took two steps back.

“Hahaha, I'm sorry. I'm so glad to see you…….”

“No, I was surprised to see you here. How are you doing?”

When he met a familiar face, Louis naturally asked as if he was relieved. But Bora went into hibernation again.

'Louis…….'

Hae-won introduced Bora instead while she was immersed in the lingering emotions.

“This is my secretary Bora. We're working together at Seohwa Welfare.”

“I'm Lim Bora!”

Bora added, raising one hand.

“Yes, Bora. I remember that I wrote your name down.”

Louis grinned.

Is he an angel? Are there two angels standing in front of me? Bora thought, looking alternately at Louis and Haewon.

Don't tell me I'm dead.

Bora, who continued to make silly comments, suddenly came to her senses and opened the door.

“Let's go inside for now.”

The three talked in the drawing room.

“…So, according to my manager, he believed the fortune teller and invested in stocks, but I think the company will go bankrupt soon. They say it can be delisted, but all of them are all. I don't know much about stocks, so this is what I understood.”

“Crazy guy.”

Bora, who was mesmerized and muttering, hurriedly closed her mouth. And she cleared her throat as much as she could.

“No, hoo…. Do we live in a shamanistic country? This is the 21st century, right?…?”

Since the manager bought stocks by pulling in corporate bonds, she wondered if he had heard such strange information from anywhere.

But the reality is even more impressive.

How can you bet your entire fortune on one stock, believing in fortune tellers? Bora thought the world was doing a hidden camera.

“I-it's not necessarily a bad thing… I think the fortune teller said that I must have an actor with yin in order to be successful, and that's why they chose me, the Omega.”

Well…

Louis apologized hurriedly when he saw the two women's faces turning pale in real-time.

“I'm sorry. I'm talking nonsense.”

“No, don't apologize for something that wasn't Louis' fault.”

Hae-won calmed Louis down in a friendly voice. Bora nodded her head as if she sympathized with him.

“To sum up, it's not just that you're behind in your accounts. And they set up a guarantee in your name.”

“……Yes.”

Louis nodded in tears.

“The foundation once helped someone who suffered similar damage. In Mr. Louis' case, if only the coercion is proven,”

When Haewon looked at Bora, Bora quickly received the words.

“I think we can get rid of human rights violations!”

Haewon nodded.

“Let's get legal advice on this first. If you can't afford to find out, we'll connect you to a lawyer from our side, and he's a labor attorney.”
