The Road We Walk On

23 | Joo Dante

Private Room, Lounge Bar, Seoul

Since the press conference that Joo Dante and Cheo Seojin staged, the two of them had been busy trying to regain contacts and capital to support their business venture of Chungah Art Centre and Cheoseo District.

Joo Dante, despite going to prison, had accumulated a wealth of contacts even after he was arrested. He made sure his secretary kept up the pressure of those relationships, which was one of the reasons why he was able to actually be released from prison so easily.

Today he was at a club with Kyun Jin, they were winning and dining with some big executives and bigwigs from the government. Joo Dante needed them to not only award him the Cheoseo District contract but also invest in his project. If this failed, well then whatever he had planned would be all gone.

Sir, I bring news.

Dante's secretary interrupted him while he was attending to guests. He smiled and quickly excused himself.

What is it?

Sir, I just found out that your son is no longer in Seoul.

What? He left? Where did he go?

He has gone to New York to apparently study, it seems Bae Rona has also gone with him.

They left together?! Shit!

What do you want us to do?

Get eyes on him, when the time is right I will have to bring him back to Seoul. Wait, Seokkyung did not go with them?

No sir, apparently she was not made aware of this.

Oh ho, she is probably really pissed. No wonder the other day she called and begged me to help her get her into SNU. Guess she wants to one-up her brother. I definitely can use this to my advantage. Good job, continue to follow Suryeon and Yoonhee. Did you find out anything about Logan's will?

Yes sir, it seems 50% of Logan's assets have been retained by his brother Alex who is in America. As for the other 50%, Logan transferred them to Oh Yoonhee.

What?! That woman has 50% of Logan's assets and money? That means she is now filthy rich.

Yes, she also used a portion of that money to make a company called Yunis Beauty. It has been gaining a lot of followers because of celebrities endorsing it. Furthermore, her company has done some very successful collaborations with Suryeon's company and Logan or Alex's hotel empire.

WHAT! Joo Dante did not expect it, he thought perhaps with Logan's death he could play the angel and convince Alex to invest in him, in return he would give Logan's murder to him. He had plans to frame Suryeon or Yoonhee but now this plan looks like it won't work.

Shit, that means this right now is the most important. We also need to find even richer targets, have you been searching?

Yes sir, we found a few potential people who we think you can approach. Do you want to see their files?

No not now, I will look at it tomorrow. You are dismissed.

The secretary left and Dante returned to the party. He had a feeling that things were going smoothly and so when he approached the politicians about Cheoseo District, they readily agreed to award him the contract.

In another dark room, on the longue was a figure of a woman watching the proceedings from a hidden camera. A knock was heard.

Enter

Good evening Mdm.

In walked Dante's secretary. Well done, Secretary Yang. Your hidden camera is perfect, what else?

The secretary handed her a recorder. The conversation I just had with him I have the recording if you wish to verify that I told him what you instructed.

No need, I trust you. Keep watching Joo Dante closely. I am counting on you and Dongpil.

Yes, I understand Ms Yoonhee.

Note: If you can't tell, I am giving Yoonhee the freaking power she deserves!
