Chapter 826: Chapter 232: Alarm Bell
“I’m Choi Sung-min, is that you, Hyun Joo?” Upon hearing the familiar voice of the agent on the other end, Han Ga In suddenly felt tears welling up. This agent wasn’t particularly capable, but had protected her fairly well, pushing away any social events when possible, for which she was very grateful.
However, before she could utter a word, the spark of hope was snuffed out by the other person: “I already know what happened and immediately communicated with SBS. Your schedules for the next two days will be postponed, so… just spend more time with Mr. Adrian Cowell.”
The shocked Han Ga In almost dropped her phone, staring blankly ahead for several seconds before turning to Kim Tae Hee, who had her head lowered again, still very composed, having evidently anticipated what it would be.
“Choi… Mr. Choi, how… how could this…” she stammered.
“I’m sorry, Hyun Joo.” The voice on the other end seemed to laugh bitterly, then whispered, adding: “A powerful person… communicated with the agency… I’m really sorry…”
“I understand.” Han Ga In’s face turned numb, and she promptly turned off the phone.
The room fell silent, and after a long while, Kim Tae Hee spoke: “Let’s go downstairs first, a cup of hot milk or cocoa might make you feel better.”
Walking through the living room, she entered the kitchen and immediately saw the demon who raped her sitting at the long table enjoying breakfast, shaking his head with his eyes closed, seemingly very pleased. Instantly, Han Ga In’s heart surged with shame and anger. To be honest, she did like Miracle Director’s movies a lot, but she never imagined this person could be such a beast, capturing her to the bedroom after just a few words.
But that shame and anger soon faded away pathetically. The agent’s phone call clearly conveyed the message that this powerful figure was not someone she could afford to offend. Not just herself, but even a girl from a privileged family like Kim Tae Hee couldn’t afford to offend him and had to helplessly accept being kept. No matter how angry she was, she had to swallow it.
Taking a deep breath, Han Ga In controlled her emotions and looked at Adrian, who was still shaking his head, unsure of what to do. Kim Tae Hee was nowhere to be found. Then, she felt the man sitting at the long table was a bit strange, looking so comfortable as if he was enjoying something. Ever since she entered, he hardly touched the breakfast in front of him, and there were some strange noises…
Unexpectedly, the man had a surprised expression: “What, did I do something really excessive to you?”
Han Ga In’s face turned bright red all of a sudden. How could he be so shameless? Her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
Adrian seemed to sense her anger, and he lightly chuckled as he leaned in front of her, lifting her chin once again: “You should know, Miss Han Ga In, last night I didn’t use much force at all, only starting when you struggled until you had no strength, and… in the end, you were very cooperative and very happy.”
Kim Tae Hee showed a look of surprise: “Korean princess?”
“Yes,” he said with a smile, “and the cooperation is with the famous Jackie Chan. The script idea was mine, and I believe it will be well-received.”
“Really… really?” Kim Tae Hee’s emotions rarely fluctuated, and without question, even if Adrian asked her if she wanted to try it, as long as she nodded, the role would undoubtedly be hers.
“Of course,” Adrian smiled, “then it’s settled—Miss Han Ga In, you’re in charge of taking care of her tonight.”
After slightly adjusting her emotions and hypnotizing herself, and being attracted by those words, Han Ga In, who unconsciously showed a hint of envy, froze for a moment after hearing this, then turned to look at Kim Tae Hee, who was also looking at Adrian in the same way.
“You mean…” She glanced at Han Ga In, her face suddenly a bit red.
Especially before Ha Ji-won and Han Chae Young arrived, Adrian sent Kim Tae Hee back, leaving Han Ga In to prepare for a foursome. Plus, assigning her a movie role indicated that Kim Tae Hee still held some weight in his heart. This made Han Ga In, who had given up struggling, inexplicably jealous, but there was nothing she could do to Kim Tae Hee, so she could only apply the things done to her the previous night onto Ha Ji-won and Han Chae Young.
Adrian was very satisfied with this trip to South Korea, especially with Ha Ji-won and Han Chae Young, who appeared very unwilling yet had no choice but to yield to him, which pleased him greatly. Ha Ji-won’s features looked somewhat fierce when not smiling, while Han Chae Young looked very pitiful when not smiling, each offering different charms in taste.
The choice of these two was mainly because “Color is Emptiness” and “My Delightful Girl, Choon-Hyang” were among the few South Korean films and TV series from his past life that he recalled quite clearly, more deeply than “My Sassy Girl” and “Autumn in My Heart,” so he named them.
Of course, there was also Han Ga In’s downfall, and even though she was not a chaste maiden, falling step by step from resistance to becoming a plaything, and even accepting the role to the point of helping afterward, gave him great pleasure. Kim Tae Hee handled it very well. As previously mentioned, she was a good toy, and giving her the leading role in “Myth” as a reward was only fitting. After all, any other contender for the benefit in mainland China would provoke dissatisfaction, so it would be better to give it to Kim Tae Hee. Toys should have the privilege of being rewarded, shouldn’t they?
As for Yuanyuan, Adrian has longer-term plans for her, so why fight over such a trivial thing?
Even though he was playing so recklessly, he wasn’t worried at all. The more he behaved like this, the happier it made Samsung to resolve those troubles for him, but…
“Have you noticed that I’ve been different lately compared to before?” After the plane took off, Adrian, having withdrawn his gaze from outside, looked seriously at his secretary assistant and asked.
“Really?” Ivanka raised her eyebrows and asked in a cold tone, “Isn’t it the same as always, self-centered and recklessly willful?”
Adrian couldn’t help rolling his eyes, and after Elisha Cuthbert, dressed in a flight attendant’s uniform, brought him coffee, he pulled her aside and asked, “Lisa, do you think I’ve been different recently?”
“How could that be, you’re still as handsome and charming as ever,” Elisha giggled, giving him a flirtatious glance, “Of course, there are changes, but I think, um… Ed, if you’re willing, why don’t we find a place to carefully analyze what might be different?”
“Wait, how can you not include me in something like this!” Geri Soborski, who was always inseparable from Elisha, rushed over immediately. Without caring what Elisha and Adrian were saying, she shouted, “No matter what, you have to include me, Lisa. You promised me you’d never abandon me.”
“Yes, of course, I promised you, Geri, but this isn’t a big deal,” Elisha said confidently, “Surely we don’t have to go to the bathroom together, right?”
“Do we have to go to the bathroom with Ed too?” Geri squinted her eyes.
“Of course, it’s not like we haven’t gone together before.” Elisha retorted unceremoniously.
“Alright then,” Geri sighed, then turned to Adrian, swaying her hips and also casting him a flirtatious glance, “Ed, how about we go to the bathroom together?”
Watching the two women joking around without any restraint, Adrian couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile. Fortunately, someone came quickly to deal with them.
“Lisa, Geri, do you two know what you should be doing?” Ali Larter walked over, her face serious.
“Oh, yes, Ms. Head Cabin Attendant.” Elisha and Geri immediately became serious, standing upright and answering.
After looking at them for a while, Ali sighed, “Alright, go to the galley and prepare some snacks; you don’t need to handle things here.”
“Alright, Ms. Head Cabin Attendant is not happy,” Elisha said as she skipped away, with Geri following closely, naturally not forgetting to flirt with Adrian.
Ali shook her head and then called out to the other side, “Leah, come over and take care of Ed’s matters.”
“Okay, Ali.” Leah Dizon came running over. She didn’t use the somewhat teasing title “Ms. Head Cabin Attendant” like Elisha and the others did, even though Ali didn’t mind it at all.
“Thank you very much, Ali.” Adrian smiled, giving Ali’s hand a pat, and after she left, he nodded to Leah, who was waiting, “Then bring some saccharin and powdered milk. I want to try some overly sweet coffee.”
“Alright, Ed.” Leah bowed and then quickly ran off, looking very happy.
Although her time on board wasn’t as long as the other three, after several one-on-four interactions, she had basically blended into the small group of private flight attendants, even though every time she would be exhausted by Ed with the trio’s help.
“See, you recovered easily, didn’t you?” Ivanka, who had been flipping through documents, looked up at this moment, “Do you still need to worry?”
“Indeed, Los Angeles is my base,” Adrian mused for a moment, then smiled, while also giving himself a mental reminder. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
