When I Loved You

Despite the screaming and the curses thrown at him, Muyeol’s face remained impassive.

“Have you decided to throw everyone under the bus? What have you been doing behind our backs, huh? Are you not going to say anything?” Mr. Cha struck Muyeol’s head with a thick pile of documents, messing up his perfectly neat hair.

“You b**tard! You can’t satisfy me with anything you do. I don’t know who you took after to turn out this sly. You deceived your grandmother and got her shares, and now you’ve even taken away your own mother’s shares! There probably isn’t another rascal like you in the entire world,” Mr. Cha yelled as he struck Muyeol on the head again, on the opposite side this time.

Jaeho and Heesu had delivered bad news from Istanbul this afternoon. And Mr. Cha had called Muyeol during lunch and summoned him to his office.

“What are you going to do now? What will you do about this immense loss you’ve caused us. I allowed you to take care of this job, and you pulled such a sly move. How dare you?” Mr. Cha went on.

He tried to hit Muyeol with the files again, but Muyeol didn’t allow it this time.

He grabbed Mr. Cha by the wrist. “I wasn’t the one who caused it. If you want to vent your anger, why don’t you call that idiot and take it out on him?”

When Muyeol received the news, his heart had sunk, too. He had known the two would cause some kind of trouble in Istanbul, but what he never expected was that they would ruin the entire contract by causing such huge trouble.

Jaeho had gone to a club and spiked a girl’s drink there. And it turned out that the girl was the daughter of one of the high-ranking employees for the company they needed to form a contract with.

Muyeol’s head was hurting from this news. That psycho couldn’t control himself and did exactly what he used to do at clubs years ago. Fortunately, Jaeho’s attempt to harm the girl failed, but the consequences were brutal nonetheless.

Heesu had quickly jumped into the situation to cover up his mess, but their company’s losses were massive. Jaeho had brought embarrassment to the whole company, and wasted all of Muyeol’s efforts in one go.

And that wasn’t the end of the story. The fear of facing Mr. Cha made Jaeho take the drugs himself, and he assaulted Heesu, which led to her calling off their marriage. It only made the situation worse.

Mr. Cha was enraged. His jaw trembled as he rebuked Muyeol, “What are you going to do now? Even the government was expecting us to make this deal. What are we going to do with this project now?”

“Why are you asking? You should ask that rascal about it,” snapped Muyeol.

But no one knew where Jaeho was. He was probably hiding somewhere, trying to escape from the situation.

“Y-you— You b**tard!”

“You already knew, didn’t you? You knew what kind of life he was leading, both here and in the States. Soon, we’ll see the news headlines talk about how the first son of S Group was discovered in some back alley. It would either be his dead body, or him alive, but with drugs,” Muyeol spat out, his lips twisted into a sneer. “But I’m not going to stay still. This project is very important to me.”

“Do you really think the shareholders will vote for you next year? Especially while I’m still alive and well?”

“They’ll vote for me, and support me. Once they review the documents I have, they’ll loathe themselves for ever supporting you,” Muyeol said confidently.

You… b**tard…” Mr. Cha cursed.

“This b**tard isn’t me, but you. After testing it for nineteen times, you should finally accept it now. The fact that you’re the b**tard.” Muyeol pushed Mr. Cha’s hands away.

“Now, I’m going to go back and come up with a plan. If you interrupt me…” Muyeol chuckled, “you need to be prepared to go down.”
