'Now you're saying you don't want to get together with me? After everything?' You hear your angry half-brother through the bug connecting you and Mo Yeon as you sip a glass of champagne, everyone else socialising to expand their business around you. 

'Everything is already done. I didn't expect this, director.' You hear her say, and you put your glass down on the table, leaving for Han Seok Won's office. 

'Well done. I'm on my way.' You say as you hear her signal, Mo Yeon still conversing with Han Seok Won. 

'I just wanted us to go slower.' You hear Mo Yeon say, your lips curling as you already hear Han Seok Won's ears perking up. 

'She's leading you on into a trap.' You say sarcastically into your earpiece, Mo Yeon laughing along with Han Seok Won, but for different reasons. 

'Then shall we?' Han Seok Won replies, and you hear rustling through the bug, as you make your feet move faster through the corridor to his office. 

'I thought we agreed to move on slowly.' Mo Yeon says in a worried voice back just as you burst open the door, Mo Yeon sighing in relief at seeing you. Han Seok Won looks up at you irritatedly from inches away from Mo Yeon, scanning you up and down. 

'You're doing your dirty habit again? Behave yourself. People are here.' You say blandly to Han Seok Won, him fuming as he holds his forehead. 

'She's the one who said-'

'I told you, I don't want to do this with you just now.' Mo Yeon says, her looking towards you for approval. 

'You keep following her around and it doesn't look good to other people. Imagine the word goes out that you've been forcing yourself onto people at work. Especially when your investment presentation is next week.' You say to Han Seok Won as you step closer, buttoning his blazer. He glares down at you looking livid, his hands trembling at his sides. 

'It's- you- staged everything?' He shouts at your face, and you simply wipe his saliva off of your cheek. 

'You always blame everything on me. Even your own faults. She's a guest I brought. She was missing and I knew she would be here.' You reply as he throws your hands away from his clothes, Mo Yeon hesitantly coming to stand beside you. 

'Now get back out there, and watch your step.' You say, Han Seok Won fuming as he grabs the both of you, shoving you out of the door. 

Taking out your earpiece, you hide it in your blazer, crossing your arms next to Mo Yeon. 

'You really think that'll take down him and his father?' Mo Yeon says as she catches her breath, looking at your neutral face. 

'No. This is nothing. You pay some money to the press and police, they get away with it. I'm just annoying him.' You reply, Mo Yeon still looking confused. 

'So then what's your plan?' She asks, her eyes turning glassy as she takes the earbud out. 

'Creating small noises until he's on the edge of a cliff.' You say blankly, biting your thumb nail as you feel Mo Yeon stare at you. 'And then I will give him a final push to the point of no return. When that happens, all the small noises will come back at once. Snowballing until he's fallen down the cliff.' You reply, looking back to Mo Yeon.

'If you're going to do this, you'll have to be a bit more braver. Remember, my revenge design is a long term plan. You'll be doing more than this.' You say, leading the both of you back downstairs to the lobby.
