"What are you engaged in?" inquired Mr. Hong, his hand leisurely tucked within the confines of his pocket, while regarding his solemn assistant, Mr. Nam, who was in the process of collecting various documents.

"I am disposing of the Babel Lawsuit records," replied Mr. Nam impassively, maintaining a calm countenance as he placed the voluminous file upon the table with a resounding thud. Glancing down at one particular paper held between his fingertips, he assumed an expression tinged with defeat and despondency. "It appears that this matter has reached its denouement."

"Avoid making hasty conclusions. Trials often encounter unforeseen changes and challenges," interjected Mr. Hong in an attempt to instill a seed of optimism within Mr. Nam's psyche.

Sighing heavily, as if burdened by past unfavorable outcomes, Mr. Nam lamented dourly, "Yet they perpetually work against our interests."

"Perhaps this occasion will produce various outcomes," exclaimed Mr. Hong vehemently; his countenance betraying both frustration and anger clouding his features momentarily before subsiding into a composed state once more while contemplating the expanse above their heads within their firm's domain. "May we be blessed with divine intervention."

"Oh Lord~" melodically hummed Mr. Nam jestingly under his breath – prompting an instantaneous sharp retort from Mr. Hong who hurled a pen in reproachful response towards him.

In the dimly lit confines of their modest office. the ongoing exchange of bickering between Mr. Hong and Mr. Nam abruptly ceased when their attention was drawn to the creaking sound signaling the entrance of visitors.

In walked the Cassano couple, Evelina and Vincenzo, each displaying contrasting demeanors. Evelina exuded an air of ease and tranquility as she gracefully navigated through the room. On the other hand, Vincenzo appeared somewhat hesitant, yet dutifully followed his wife's lead.

Upon catching sight of Mr. Hong and Mr. Nam, Evelina adorned them with a warm smile while respectfully bowing in greeting – a gesture reciprocated by both gentlemen. A harmonious camaraderie had begun to blossom between Evelina and her hosts; alas, such affinity could not be claimed on behalf of Vincenzo.

Mr. Hong regarded him intently with an enigmatic expression that melded curiosity with suspicion: "Returning for another round of deceitful ploys?"

Responding coolly yet concealing any trace emotion beneath his neutral façade, Vincenzo calmly conveyed his purpose: "I have come seeking a favor—an earnest request for access to any documents pertaining to Babel E&C."

Mockingly incredulous at this plea for knowledge prior to victory over one's adversary, Mr. Hong interjected, "So you wish to familiarize yourself with your enemy before vanquishing them? Truly remarkable! Are you still immersed in these antics?"
