Chapter 7 || Sin

Kang Yeri's SUV stopped in front of the site.

"Have all the lead engineers and managers we hired assemble in the main meeting hall. I want to speak with them before the training begins tomorrow," she instructed Dong-ha.

"Yes, madam."

Twenty minutes later, Kang Yeri was annoyed when Dong-ha didn't call her to let her know he had everything ready and they were waiting for her to address them.

"Why is there a delay?" she demanded when Dong-ha came into her office with an uncomfortable look.

"Madam, they are all with Jungkook. He's been speaking with them since early this morning along with rest of his team. He has asked you to join him if possible."

"I see," she said quietly. Dong-ha stayed silent.

"As soon as he's done, let me know. I need to speak with him privately."

"Sure, madam."

Kang Yeri felt a simmering anger grow within her.

Who the hell did he think he was?

She had gone through hell to become the person she was today. She wasn't going to simply sit back and allow a privileged, cocky, and arrogant prick grab her power and control.

Jungkook was going to get a piece of her mind soon.

It took close to two more hours until Jungkook gave the engineers and managers a break. She was finishing up with her calls with the transportation company when she heard him return to his office next door.

Immediately, she got up went towards his office. She knocked on the door just once and not bothering to wait for his answer, she strode inside.

His head was still bent over the document he was reading. "I thought you would join me in the meeting after you arrived. Didn't you get the message from me?" he asked.

She sat in the chair and glared on top of his head where his hair was styled in a deliberately messy manner. "Don't ever order my men without my explicit permission," she said with a soft menace.

He looked up from the document and watched her with an unperturbed look. "Your men?"

"Yes. My men. Kang men and the men I hired on behalf of my province."

He sat back in his chair. "They are no longer exclusively your men when they are at the site and drawing salaries from the company," he said coolly. "Kims or Kangs. If they are working here, they are employees-employees who need to be trained and instructed as soon as possible if we want to meet our aggressive schedules."

Kang Yeri frowned. She knew what he said was right. It annoyed her to no end that he sounded rational while she had been the one sounding immature. "Fine," she acknowledged. "What was the meeting about? And why wasn't I told about it earlier?"

"As you already know, the Lees' attacks have increased quite a bit lately," he said. "We stopped another one early this morning. I wanted to provide detailed instructions regarding safety to the management before the actual training begin tomorrow."

"I see."

"I also told them we needed to keep a close watch and one of us will be there most of the time to oversee the shifts."

"I'll be here as much as possible," she said.

"Good. I'll send you my schedule. Sometimes I have to leave for my commitments in the city. I'll give you prior notice when I want you here."

"Fine."

He didn't add anything else. He simply watched her silently.

Kang Yeri felt his eyes on her like a physical touch and suppressed a shiver. "What?" she snapped.

He shrugged. "Just wondering what damage you might have done within these two hours when you thought I ordered your men."

"I didn't," she said coolly. "Unlike you, I'm not prone to explosive tempers or impulsive attacks without finding out the cause first."

"Oh please," he said, barking out a laugh. "So the amount of damage you did to my property was you being cool-headed and logical?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yes," she replied coolly. "I knew it was your personal property and not that of the people." She gave him a sweeping look. "It was either destroy your property or kill you. Be thankful for the choice I picked."

The bastard smirked. "Your threats are quite adorable, Kang," he said in a deep mocking tone. "I think you need a better purpose in your life. It's quite sad how much time you spend thinking about me. What do you do each night? Lie in your bed thinking of ways of getting back at me?" He chuckled. For some reason his chuckle sounded dark with absolutely no humor in it. "I don't think even the women I date think so much about me as you must do," he said. "What other things do you think about me during the nights?"

Kang Yeri felt her temper rise at his words, but she maintained an outward cool. "Don't worry about my purpose or who I think about during my nights, Kim," she replied.

His eyes heated while he gave her another sweeping look with the smirk lingering on his face.

"When is your brother getting back and taking over this project," she asked casually.
