Even though Vincent understood what he had just spewed out, he pretended as though he was deaf. Maybe that could help him escape this calamity so he thought.
Min Ji gently approached the police officers as she repeated what he told Hana and Soo Young.
Few blocks away was the thief still running for his dear life. Since he doesn't want to repeat that mistake by resting, he was still running forward even though he would have love to catch his breath.
But it seems luck was on his side since a man dressed in all black with a black nose mask with the only visible thing was his eyes.
He was standing at a corner of the alley where our little thief was heading to. With a swoosh, he grasped the thief collar, preventing him from running any further "where do you think you are running off to?" ask a deep menacing voice.
The petty thief turned slowly forgetting to breath as he felt there was a part two of what he had face earlier.
He was able to breath when he saw who it was. He heaved a deep breath before he started catching his breath. "You almost killed me" said the thief.
The man dressed in all black chortle surprising the thief. "But you are still alive aren't you?" asked the man dressed in all black. "You were willing to do it for the money, so why are you blaming me for any consequences you faced?" he continued.
The thief glared at him, if gaze could kill he would have been on his way to the cemetery. He accepted the offer when he was approached by this weird man.
Only because he needed an urgent money to be able to provide for his daughter. When he was approached by the man dressed in black, the offered to pay ten thousand won which was a lot of money for the thief.
And what he had to do was just to snatched away a purse from the woman he pointed at and he should made sure the black man witnessed the scene.
He thought it was an easy work to do but didn't expect to be in such situation. "Yo..you didn't say….mmm… he would try to strangle me" said the thief still trying to catch his breath.
The man dressed in all black knew what could have happened. He knew Vincent wouldn't let him go and would have done anything to get back the purse to the poor girl. He only wanted to prevent him from having today's meeting which is exactly what has happened.
"Good job, here is your money" said the man in black as he handed over the money with a calm gesture. The thief hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take his hard earned money.
Even though he almost lost his life for this but he worked hard for it, so he thought. "Thank you, you may go" he continued. Without much thought, the thief was out of his sight in a few seconds.
The man dressed in black shook his head as he watched the thief run as though his life depended on it which it did. He slipped out his phone from his pocket and with just a few taps, he placed it to his ear.
"Did it work?" ask the man dressed in all black to the person on the other end of the call. As the person responded, a bright smile appeared on his face which his eyes gave him out.
"You really don't want them to meet Death, you must have fallen so hard which is bad because he has no idea how you look" said the man in black and was responded with the hanging of the call.
Now Vincent was stuck at the police station vexed like hell. If he was a cartoon character, there will be fumes coming out of his ear.
He narrated what actually happened including the sentence the thief made. The police officer in his mid twenties was standing at the corner of the room still staring the soul out of Vincent.
'How can someone be so handsome and healthy? I want to touch him' so he thought. Min Ji was beside Vincent as she translated what inspired between them. Seung Jo, Akwasi and Min Ho were in the new car waiting outside.
"Stop looking at him like that" the police officer in his early forties snapped at his colleague. This brought him back from the trance. He cleared his throat and made his way out of the room.
A few minutes later, Vincent and Min Ji was out of the police station heading for the car parked waiting for them.
Vincent checked on his watch and he knew he was an hour late. But he still wanted to go so badly. Akwasi made a comment as he approached the car "I guess you will have to call to reschedule this meeting."
But Vincent ignored him as he sat in the car waiting for the driver to start moving. Min Ho was confused as to what to do so he turned to the three gentlemen seated at the back.
"Take us home" Akwasi commanded but didn't expect to be glared at by Vincent. The glare he received sent shivers down his spine as he thought he was about to lose his life.
"Let's head for the meeting" replied Vincent with Min Ho nodding in agreement. Seung Jo who was watching the scene leaned in closer to Akwasi and whispered into his ear "why is he so eager to go to this meeting? Why, is his company back at home really struggling?" asked the curious Seung Jo.
As he asked this, both Akwasi and Seung Jo turned to Vincent's direction only to be glared at already. Akwasi shook his head as he mumbled to himself "what love can do is beyond human understanding."
Akwasi also leaned in towards Seung Jo even though he was being watched by Vincent "the only thing I can say is love is mysterious. He will tell you when he is ready" said Akwasi as he slouched back to relax.
The drive was quiet with only Seung Jo typing on his phone while Min Ji and Min Ho keep stealing glances at those gentlemen. Within thirty minutes, they were at Osung Group.
"Wow, I haven't been here up close to this building. It's so huge" said Seung Jo in excitement. Min Ji blushed since she got the chance to to be in this building thanks to her employer. Akwasi, Min Ji and Vincent stepped out of the car with Seung Jo sticking his head out of the car window to steal a glance at the huge building they were entering.
Seung Jo cursed under his breath rubbing his forehead as the car suddenly lurched forward. He glared at him but Min Ho who was busy driving didn't realized he had done something wrong.
As they headed inside and walked towards the receptionist, she smiled widely at Vincent maintaining professionalism.
"I had a meeting scheduled for 2pm" said Vincent with Min Ji translating it to Korean. The receptionist replied and this became a back and forth conversation for about ten minutes.
"He said, Secretary Kim can come take you up if you could wait till he finishes his meeting" said Min Ji after the receptionist reported. Vincent nodded in agreement. While the receptionist was making a call, Akwasi was busy turning a three hundred and sixty degrees around.
It was as though today was his first time being there. Minutes later, Secretary Kim was seen approaching them as he directed them the way to the conferences room's floor. He led them in one of the rooms as he asked to wait for Jae Won.
The room was quiet with Akwasi being hyperactive person, was struggling to maintain composure. He felt itchy all over as though he was covered in ants.
He couldn't stand it as he walked around the room inspecting it as though he owned the place. Vincent just shook his head as this was no surprise for him.
An hour later and they were still there with Secretary checking up on them regularly and keeping them informed. This time Vincent where the washroom was and was shown immediately.
Vincent majestically walked to the washroom and relieved himself of whatever that was eager to come out.
He stepped out of the washroom heading for the conference room and that's where
"Grunt!!! Grunt!!"
That was the sound coming from Jae Won when he bumped into Vincent. Their gaze slowly met with Jae Won right in Vincent's arm.
They held their gaze for a long time. In Vincent's thoughts 'so beautiful, where have you been? Why have you been ignoring me? I want to kiss you.'
On the other hand, Jae Won was busy staring at his eyes. The eyes that keep tormenting him in his dreams. They looked familiar but he wasn't sure. To verify this, he moved his free hand slowly to cover Vincent's face while he said "your eyes looks like…."
"Vice Chairman" call out Secretary Kim.
