As soon as I go inside the cafe, I look for a man wearing a blue shirt and a cap. I notice him sitting at a table near the windows, which is the furthest away from the entrance. To get a closer look at the man, I lower my sunglasses slightly. When I approached him and sat in the chair across from him, his head immediately lifted. He makes a small bowing motion with his head.
"Did you get what I'm looking for?" I question, hoping to expedite the process.
The more I stay in Italy, the more issues arise at home. Even though I left Han-wu in charge, I know he's not capable or smart enough to run a large company like the one I own, so I couldn't go without overseeing things.
Han-wu is unfit for the position of CEO and will never be one. He will always be a puppet, my puppet, and that is exactly how I want it to be. Maybe if he was a little smarter, I'd respect him more, but that isn't the case, so for now, he's simply a minor piece on a chess board. He may be my brother, but he lacks my brains; he must have inherited it from his mother...whoever she is.
I take the envelope that the man places on the table without opening it to see what's inside. I stand up and go away, slid a separate envelope towards the guy on the table.
"Wait!" He stops me and hands me a piece of paper, saying, "He told me to give you this."
"What is this?" I ask and he shrugs his shoulders
"He said it's critical that you read it." I nod and walk out of the café. I'm not sure what it is. I call Hyun-ki to come pick me up, and as I do so, I notice Luca and that girl from earlier across the street in a restaurant. I have a funny hunch that I've seen her before, but I can't place when or where it was. Hyun-ki arrives shortly, and I climb into the backseat. I cast one last glance in their direction. We meet once again little solider, see you soon.
