The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

Every second was like a punishment to Seungri. So ten minutes was pure torture. However, his anger didn't subside. It just grew stronger with each minute.

Before he could flip the table, the receptionist got a call and her fear was back. Now she has to relay that information to Seungri. The lady tried to plead with the other one but she was even more scared. So as a senior to her, she inhaled a sharp breath and made way towards Seungri whose face was darker than the cloudy rain. "P-Preisdent Harmon, let me escort you to meet President Evans. This way please."

Seungri breathed out loudly and stood up. He walked away so fast that the receptionist almost tripped on her heels. Quickly balancing, she jogged behind him afraid of getting harshly scolded by him..

Seungri had to stop due to the receptionist. When he turned around to ask her to be quick, Alex was back, he was right behind the receptionist so that Seungri could behave.

He clenched his teeth and waited for the lady to catch up. She scanned her card and pointed inside for him to enter. Then she scanned again and went inside.

Alex followed them in silence and entered the elevator. Of course, he won't take the chance of Seungri molesting the young lady who was quivering at the elevator door. He noticed they were going to general employees or the team meeting floor. It was better. There were cameras, employees would be walking around and emergency handling would be easier.

Seungri thought about why he was there. As soon as Ruby Jane ended the call, all he wanted to do was strangle her to death. So he wasn't sure why exactly he was standing in the Skylar. To vent his frustration? Is it even possible? Or to show her she couldn't defeat him?

Since she already expected his arrival, he thought to see what she had in store for him. Then he could react accordingly. For a moment he thought he should act like a victim of Ruby Jane's lecherous plan in front of some audience but then again, he wasn't pro at acting like Ruby Jane.

The elevator stopped before reaching the top. He stepped out of the elevator behind the receptionist. He saw glass cubicles around. The different teams were in meetings, some were going inside and some were coming out. It was a busy office hour.

Whoever saw him either exclaimed or murmured with each other after identifying him. However, everyone stayed away from him. They had seen the viral video of Ruby Jane throwing wine on his face for locking his grandfather. So even a floor cleaner could say Seungri wasn't a friend of the company. And his expression was loudly saying he was angry. All were curious and alert thinking Seungri might be there to hurt somebody.

Seungri followed the lady and entered the meeting hall which was bigger than any of the halls and in the center with numerous eyes on him. However, what caught his attention was the Smart Screen displaying his company statistics. He didn't even hear the receptionist asking him to wait there.

Alex closed the door and saw halted employees. "Get back to work." He ordered authoritatively. They didn't know Alex but his bearing made them get back to whatever they were doing.

Seungri watched the Harmon stock price increase beyond the threshold. Then his eyes scanned the large meeting room. Nobody was there. She couldn't possibly think of locking him in the room, right? He saw there was no lock so it was ruled out.

He paced in the room, then sat down waiting for Ruby Jane. She was purposefully doing it yet he was helpless. He was alone in the enemy territory.

Suddenly his attention shifted to the screen when the brightness of the screen altered. It was the detailed market depth. He could see how many were selling the shares and how many were buying them. There were more buyers so the price kept increasing
