“What about Do-hwa?”
I asked while biting into a piece of toast.
“He said he slept at the gym?”
“Aren't you working Quan too hard from the first day?”
“Well. Do-hwa said Quan’s skills were enormous.”
When I asked while frowning, she answered nonchalantly.
Since her interests were only money and sex(?), she had no great interest in what the two of them were doing by hitting each other. She only thought about how to earn money today.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“I should go there too.”
“Aren't you working him too hard?”
She asked as if to argue with a mischievous expression.
“That was yesterday, and today is a new day, right? Ah, and look for some land near Daejeon. The wider, the better.”
“You, by any chance…”
Her eyes sparkled for a moment.
“That’s right. I was thinking of persuading the director to donate anonymously and buy some land in the orphanage's name.”
“Oh my, our Hogu. I guess you were bothered by what I said yesterday?”
“That’s not it at all. Don't misunderstand.”
At my words, Jo Sang-nim, who suddenly approached me, licked the strawberry jam off her finger suggestively, sat on my thigh, and naturally put her arm around my shoulder.
“Even if you say that, it doesn't seem like it~ Try saying it’s because of me. I can praise you deeply.”
Her voluptuousness was felt vividly through her apron.
“You’re giving me goosebumps. Get down.”
“Oh my, goosebumps? Do you hate me doing this?”
She whispered in my ear coquettishly, and I frowned and dropped my head to the side. She wouldn't let me have time to eat my toast.
“Get down so I can eat breakfast. Jo Sang-nim. Before I really pounce on you.”
“Don't just say it, pounce on me. Hogu.”
“It tickles. Move.”
As she whispered in my ear again, I lifted her waist up and put her down beside me. Since there was a considerable difference in build, she dangled and threw a tantrum.
“Tch. Boring. Aren't you even resentful? Your wife is meeting this guy and that guy.”
“Well, not really.”
“Or should I look for some decent women for you? It's fast if you look online. Hehehe…”
Jo Sang-nim came behind me and hugged me softly. However, I showed no reaction, finished eating my toast, and drank a sip of juice.
“I’ll take care of my own business. Don't worry about it.”
“Really? I saw you were furious in the morning. Don't you need to relieve what's built up? You'll have a wet dream if you don't. Or should I help you masturbate?”
She curled her hand and shook it up and down.
Man, this crazy bitch!
I almost spat out the juice I was drinking, stood up abruptly, and shouted.
“Hey! Jo Sang-nim! There's nothing you won't say, girl. Just look for the land properly. I’m going to go to the gym.”
“Do that. Ah, bring Quan when you come back. So we can eat dinner together at home.”
“Got it. Wear your clothes properly. Quan will be embarrassed and run away.”
I put on my overcoat and rushed outside before Jo Sang-nim could bother me anymore.

As Na Hong-gu left the house, Jo Sang-nim went into the computer room with toast in her mouth, quickly turned on the map, and checked around Daejeon.
And she began to search various real estate online sites to compare and find decent land.
Land at a moderate distance from Daejeon, with a mountain in the back and a river in the front, and a large area.
The price didn't matter. Money could be earned, and the value of land didn't fall easily.
In other words, there was nothing to lose.
Well, it didn't matter much even if there was a loss.
After searching for listings for a while, she marked a few places and closed the window.
Then, after scanning the living room and confirming Na Hong-gu hadn't returned, she opened a secret folder.
Then, swallowing dryly, she began to watch the videos one by one. Her hand headed downward, and soon her hot breathing was heard.
In truth, the person who needed to relieve what was built up was not Na Hong-gu, but her.
<><><>
Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, Ansan Branch.
It was Lee Song-ha’s first post after becoming a prosecutor.
She was living in a high-end officetel near the Ansan Branch and commuting. Naturally, the officetel was provided by Choi Won-seok.
Lunchtime. She was sitting alone in the empty office, skimming through a few documents.
They were the one-month usage history of the card her husband used, which were items for daily life or meals purchased in Pohang.
It was clear that he was in Pohang just as he said…
“Hmm…”
She put down the card usage statement and operated the computer. On the screen, Na Hong-gu’s personal accounts were listed without a single one missing, and as usual, there was only a tiny amount of money in the bankbook.
“It’s no different from usual.”
But his behavior was suspicious.
It felt quite different from before. The same went for exchanging contact, and even when he came up to Seoul occasionally and they met, his behavior was unhesitating.
Was it that her husband, who used to live only looking out for her, had regained some of his spirit?
There was no big difference, but it felt like that small difference was gradually widening. She had to catch him before it widened further.
“Hmph, why should I be impatient?”
Lee Song-ha’s pride was strangely hurt. The desire to make her husband obey her like before began to well up.
Thinking about how to give him disgrace, she suddenly remembered a conversation she had with Choi Won-seok in the past.
She left a text message for Na Hong-gu to come up to Seoul on the weekend and then called Choi Won-seok immediately.
“Yes, Won-seok-ssi. Please lend me Jin-ah this weekend. Yes, I think one day will be enough.”
The corners of Lee Song-ha’s mouth, who was on the phone, began to rise bizarrely.
Choi Won-seok, who hung up the phone, threw his phone onto the desk and washed his face with his dry hands once.
His head was about to explode because things weren't working out, but this bitch called a prosecutor was hell-bent on satisfying her desires every single day.
Well, that was her charm, though.
He stood up from his seat and approached the large whiteboard. Large-scale townhouse construction.
He had already begun to lay the foundation. Once construction had started, he couldn't stop until he sucked up the money from new investors.
The problem was that the biggest shareholder had noticed and pulled out, leaving him in a difficult situation.
Now, to pay the overdue construction costs and the existing investors' dividends, he had to take out the slush fund he had set aside separately.
The money he had siphoned off from investors so far was nearly 13 billion won.
Should he just run away overseas with this?
Under the premise that no more investors would gather, now was the best time. If he was any later, he might have his tail caught by the police.
It was a level far short of the 20 billion won target he had set, but even with just this much, he wouldn't have trouble making a living for the rest of his life in Southeast Asia.
If it didn't work, he could just commit another investment fraud there.
Knock, knock.
While he was calculating various contingencies, Kang Jin-ah entered with the sound of a knock.
“Um, I have something to tell you…”
“What is it?”
When Choi Won-seok asked irritably, Kang Jin-ah hesitated for a moment and then carefully opened her mouth.
“Recently… There is a man who has approached me. I found out he is a professional investor. And one with considerable wealth at that.”
“What? Who is that?”
Choi Won-seok, whose eyes gleamed for a moment, quickly approached her and asked.
She began to tell the story while discreetly probing him as Na Hong-gu had instructed.
As he listened to the story, Choi Won-seok’s face filled with a wicked smile.
“So. You mean that Hogu has fallen for you?”
“Yes…”
She nodded her head with a dispirited voice.
“Well done! As expected, there’s no one like our Jin-ah! Good. Lure him in a bit more. If you want, seduce him even by offering your body.”
“I understand…”
“And make an appointment so that you can meet me as naturally as possible. Got it?”
“Yes.”
Choi Won-seok, leaving behind the joy of finding a Hogu to fill the missing 7 billion won, began to fall into thought about how to persuade the Hogu.

While heading to the gym, I checked my wife’s text, sent a short reply that I understood, and then hurried my footsteps again.
I didn't know why she was calling again, but it certainly wouldn't be with good intentions.
Having seen so many disgusting things, I no longer felt any emotions.
If I were my past self, I would have worried about what was going on and remained anxious until the weekend.
‘I really was pathetic. Me.’
The moment I opened the gym door and entered without a thought.
I could see Woo Do-hwa flying out of the ropes.
“Huh?”
