Chapter 52: Underestimating The Prophet (1)

Seo Arin? They invited Seo Arin too?

The reason Ryu Min was taken aback was quite simple: Seo Arin had been absent in the previous gatherings, even when they held parties.

I wonder if things have changed because they realized we live in the same apartment?

Well, it doesnt really matter.

Having Seo Arin here wouldnt make a big difference after all.

Ah, youre finally here, Actress Seo.

Pretending to know her, Ma Kyung-rok nodded as Seo Arin respectfully lowered her head.

Im sorry for being a little late. I was paying my respects to a fellow actor.

No worries. If thats the case, being late is understandable. But before that, please greet the major shareholder of our company.

Hello. Im an actress named Seo Arin.

As Seo Arin greeted, she suddenly looked at the persons face and was surprised.

The reason for her surprise was simple: she recognized the face.

Did you two of you meet before?

Yes, thats right.

It turns out the major shareholder is my neighbor. Nice to meet you.

Seo Arin smiled, her eyes crinkling, but inside, she couldnt help but feel a sense of doubt.

He looks younger than me, and yet hes a major shareholder Could it be that the CEO is just playing a joke?

Up until this moment, Ryu Wons mouth was wide open, then he suddenly snapped out.

Um, hey, hyung.

Yeah?

Is the person in front of me really Seo, Seo Arin?

Ryu Min whispered to his brothers ear, Yes, and Ryu Wons mouth hung open in surprise.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Come to think of it, did I forget to mention it?

In a brief whisper to his brother, Ryu Min explained the truth.

That Ma Kyung-rok is Seo Arins sponsor and An Sang-cheol is the manager he assigned.

Wow

Seeing his brothers stunned expression, Ryu Min found himself in a dilemma.

Should he also admire Seo Arin as his brother does?

.

The gloomy expression on Ryu Mins face further dampened Ma Kyung-roks own mood.

Damn it, damn it! I should just keep my mouth shut until the tension eases.

As someone who needed to win the favor of the prophet, Ma Kyung-rok found himself forced to tread carefully.

Ding, dong, crack, ding, crack, dong.

Amidst the hushed atmosphere, the meal continued.

With no words exchanged, the clinking of cutlery became the only sound that resonated.

Someone needs to lighten the mood

Ma Kyung-roks gaze subtly shifted towards Seo Arin.

If there was anyone who could lift the spirits and inject some cheer into the gathering, it was undoubtedly her.

Seo, look over here, Seo!

Ma Kyung-rok gestured for her attention, but Seo Arin remained immersed in her meal, oblivious to the call.

Naturally, frustration creased Ma Kyung-roks forehead.

That infuriating girl

As silence pervaded the air, a growing sense of desolation settled in.

Yet, the seemingly eternal meal eventually drew to a close as plates were cleared away several times over.

When the five of them gathered for a tea break, Ma Kyung-rok finally broke his silence.

Could we have a moment alone, Seo?

Yes? Oh, of course.

Seo Arin followed Ma Kyung-rok, her expression tinged with curiosity, as he led her to a more secluded spot.

Coming to a stop in a suitable location, Ma Kyung-rok cleared his throat and spoke.

Listen, Seo Arin.

Yes, CEO.

Did you enjoy the meal?

Oh, it was absolutely delicious.

Do you think I called you here just to have a meal?

Pardon?
