When he heard the door to the safe house shut, Kai leaned back in his chair. He wiped his face before opening his laptop, ready to find out anything else that could be of use.
There was an incessant trilling noise and a small bar appeared at the top of his screen. Kai pressed the receive button.
The client's face appeared on the corner of his screen.
"Yes?"
"The artefact should've been in Kang's possession by now. We had an agreed date."
"Like he said, something came up. He's working on getting it to you."
A grimace crossed the older man's face.
"I don't have time for this! I need it, and I need it now."
Kai sniffed, frowning.
"Excuse me if it seems like I'm overstepping, but if you really needed that artefact sooner, then why hire Taehyun such a short while before you needed it? He can't just magically obtain it when he's been given barely a couple of weeks."
"His reputation precedes him. He's well known for adapting quickly to situations. That's why I'm willing to pay him. But he's taking longer than expected."
The blond's frustration mounted.
"He's working on it. We both are. But it's difficult when you won't even tell us what the artefact even is. All we have is a location. We have no idea what it even looks like! And you expect us to retrieve it in such a short span of time?! We — "
Leaning closer to the camera, a look of anger crossed the client's face as he cut Kai off before he could complain further.
"Listen here, Kai. You're getting paid to retrieve the item. Not ask fucking questions about it. You had a deadline. And you missed it. So there's no fucking excuse. I'll give you extra time, if that's what you so desperately want. But know this, every extra day you take from now, it comes out of your pay. So hurry the fuck up."
With that, the sound of a call disconnecting played through the speakers of Kai's laptop as the older man hung up.
Shutting his laptop lid in frustration, Kai leaned back in his chair. A vexed sigh escaped from his lips as he stared up at the ceiling.
