THE RELUCTANT TOUCH [tomorrow]

the trouble arrives

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐄:

"you maybe are the manager of the escort team, but I'm the director's right hand"

"Would you be so kind, Ms. Kim, and fetch Mr. Park and inform him about the emergency meeting?"

With her hands entwined behind her, Kim Chae-Yeong was standing before the Director's desk. It was just a few hours ago that the Director informed the woman of the crisis facing the RM team, so to suggest that Chae-Yeong was happy about it would be a huge fat lie. It implied problems, and if there were any problems in Jumadeong, it meant that Chae-Yeong would be the one solving them.

Sometimes she really hated being the Director's assistant.

But that was just what she was thinking in her head. Nodding her head and then bowing, Chae-Yeong walked out of the office. Once she was in the hallway, she teleported to the location where Park Joong-Gil with his team was collecting a soul.

Taking a look around the area where she had just teleported, Chae-Yeong focused her attention on the scenario in front of her.

The lights were illuminating the dark corners of the club alongside the massacre that had happened there not too long ago. Looking to her left, Chae-Yeong's eyes fell on the man she was looking for. Park Joong-Gil was crouching before a soul, quietly saying something to them. From his posture, as much as Chae-Yeong could see, he was most definitely threatening the man with fires of Hell.

It seemed to be Park Jong-Gil's favorite threat. A lot coming from a man who's never seen Hell with his own eyes. Chae-Yeong smirked a little.

Once he heard the sound of someone teleporting behind him, Joong-Gil turned his head for a split second to see who had arrived. Once his eyes landed on the Director's assistant, he went back to face the soul in front of him and finished what he started.

Chae-Yeong stood aside while Joong-Gil did his job, he then motioned towards Jae-Hee and Soon-In to escort the soul while he approached the woman.

"Did the Director asked to babysit me again?"

Park Joong-Gil reached the woman and was walking past her while adjusting his gloves. Chae-Yeong rolled her eyes and turned to follow the reaper. Falling in step with him, she answered.

"That was only one time, and the Director asked me to monitor the work of every team so don't be too hostile about it." Joong-Gil was then forced to stop in his tracks when Chae-Yeong quickened her step and stopped directly in front of him. "There's an emergency summons from the board of directors. The Director is going to be there as well."

Joong-Gil clenched his jaw, and Chae-Yeong then heard him sigh in frustration.

"It must me because of that team." He muttered. Chae-Yeong raised one eyebrow at him. Joong-Gil, noticing the raised eyebrow, snapped back. "Tell me I'm wrong."
