Gunshots could be heard all over the house; they made the mistake of entering territory they didn't know—it was stupid suicides. "She's behind the post, kill this bitch." "Shit, I'm out of bullets." BANG, BAN[G!!!!! "AHHH RGGG FUCKING SHIT CATCH HER OR. I'LL BE THE ONE WHO'LL KILL Y'ALL ASS." At the same time, we hear shooting outside screams of pain, not knowing what was happening outside. Panicked, they headed towards the exit but, in the blink of an eye, they were killed in their turn.
I was behind the post when I heard a voice telling me to get out of where I was. It raised questions about the intentions behind this violent act directed against me. It became imperative for me to not only use my acquired skills but also my insight in order to find a safe way to emerge unscathed.
"Juliet comes out of your hiding place. Romeo asked us to help you," they said.
"And why exactly did your Romeo order it?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
"You'll ask him that question yourself."
Bang bang!!!!!
"Relax, we mean you no harm; we saved your life, why take it from you?"
"I don't know, it's up to you to tell me, Mr. Messenger," I replied, suspicion lacing my words.
"Ahh, who told you I was that madman's messenger?"
"I don't care, get out of here," I insisted, feeling the urgency to escape.
"I forgot he warned us."
"Warned of what?" I questioned, my curiosity piqued despite the danger.
"He only met you once because of your bad character, but he was right."
"I don't know at all what you're talking about, and what exactly does this Romeo want from me?" I demanded, frustration creeping into my voice.
The situation seemed to become even more complex and dangerous for me, as I was confronted by individuals claiming to be sent by someone named Romeo. Their unexpected presence raised a series of questions about their true intentions as well as the exact...
"You should ask him directly. Now tell me when will you decide to follow us because I really don't want to come face to face with other singles."
By the time they realized that I was no longer there, it was already too late; I had already escaped.
"Sir, she ran away."
"Damn, I should have known."
"You want us to chase her?"
"No, not at all, she might have already planned her escape, let's go back."
An hour later, I overheard them saying, "Lorenzo, she..."
"She escaped, didn't she?"
"Indeed, she's tougher than expected. When we arrived, she had already killed half of the people inside."
"She will never stop surprising me; it seems that my prey will not be easily caught."
"Sir, sir!!!! Why all this ruckus?"
"Excuse my intrusion, some of our men told me they had seen this car before."
"Show me the photos."
"Here."
"Ah ah ahhh."
"You knew her."
"Ohhh yes, it's a Dirty Microbe."
"I have no idea who you're...
"It's our dear Director Jeon. This is the first time I've seen him stick his nose in my business." As the dialogue unfolded, it became clear that Jeon was not just a figurehead but a central player in SA Entertainment's power dynamic. Despite recognition of his intelligence and cunning, there was an underlying resentment towards his succession ambitions. The revelation that Director Jeon may be sidelined in favor of his half-brother Jin revealed family tensions and Machiavellian machinations. "The director of SA Entertainment, why not the president? " Antonio I knew that he was very intelligent and very cunning; he could even succeed his father, but he refused to let him take his place. Because he is another man's child, he wanted to give his place to Jin, his biological son. He even went so far as to help him stab his own brother in the back." The mutual revelations given by Lorenzo highlighted not only the internal tensions within the group but also the way in which each character played a key role in this already chaotic imbroglio. "Stabbed his own brother for power, that's all. Jin, even with his innocent look, would never be able to deceive us." Indeed, I was right in his games, so if I tried to get involved in the succession, I would be a threat as well as a prey that he would pursue even in his death.
The conversation ended on a chilling note, implying betrayal and fratricide. The mention of Jin being prepared to take over, even if it meant stabbing his own brother in the back with his father's help, added a sinister twist to the murky waters of company politics.
"How did you know all these things? Did Jeon know?" "Yes, I wondered what he is waiting for to act. Maybe a good opportunity". Time would tell. "Does she (Yuna) work in his company?" Yes, She worked as a secretary. "Interesting, but how did he know what was happening at her house? How did he bring her back when access to the interior was inaccessible? The circumstances of me working as a secretary at the company run by Jeon added new light to the professional and personal relationships between us. It was clear that there were potentially more issues hidden behind this seemingly complex situation.
"Would you like me to go say hello to him for you?" No, Antonio, I would go myself since he took the liberty of taking away my prey." Understood, I would arrange a meeting for you tomorrow morning." No need to warn him further. I am sure he'd already planned my trip; you can go." Lorenzo, let me tell you, never mind....Fuck take care of yourself these last few months you have worked a lot, so if you get sick all this will fall on me. And I work enough overtime no more.
You have remained the same after all this time. I couldn't believe that even after college we were still friends. Anyway, my family was putting pressure on me to take my mother's place because she was the one who had been in charge since my father stepped down. And you already knew I just wanted to finish what I started so I could finally escape those fools. Why are you telling me all this? I was just telling you that if you got sick, I would have to do all the work for you, and that would be very annoying. "Argh, your words still hurt so much. Okay, I'd do my best to do that."
