Chapter 35
Tae decided to play along.
“It’s true. He’s incredibly rich. He’s just old, ugly, and barely hanging on.”( A/n :- Tae you just did not insulted my kookie pookieeeee 😭😭😭)
The crowd was scratching their heads trying to figure out who this old, ugly, and unfit bigshot was.
A waiter walked over to Tae and said, “Please proceed to the second floor, Miss Kim.”
Tae instantly looked up.
The building had an open concept, and the second-floor railing could be seen from the living room on the first floor.
Jungkook’s bodyguard was standing by the railing and looking down at him.
When the waiter escorted his away, the faces of the people in the crowd changed from one of mockery to one of awe.
Those in attendance at the banquet were the creme of high society.
Even the wealthy had their own form of social hierarchy.
That night, the more ordinary members of the upper class were mingling amongst themselves in the banquet hall on the first floor.
Those with more power over society, on the other hand, were invited to the exclusive second floor.
“I can’t believe Kim Taehyung was invited up there! Who exactly is his sponsor?!”
“I have no idea! It’s not like we can go to the second floor. All I can say is that he must have a trick or two up his sleeve! Even if his sugar daddy is some old, ugly geezer, he still hit the jackpot with him!”
“As far as I know, there aren’t that many old men at tonight’s banquet!”
“Was he just messing with us?”
The crowd looked at the second floor in unison, but they could see nothing.
When Tae arrived at the round table, there were less than ten people in attendance, and all of them were men.
He walked over and sat himself down next to Jungkook.
The dining table was covered in exquisite delicacies.
Taey glanced at Jungkook and asked, “You didn’t make me come here just to eat, did you?”
Jungkook looked at his raised brows, then said in a low voice, “Nic will be here, too. Didn’t you secretly meet with him while I was away on business? I invited you here so that you could meet him in the open.”
Taee did not expect this to be his intention.
Did he think that he was so obsessed with Nic that they could not bear to be apart even for a little while?
Ha!
Tae was ravenous as he had not had his dinner yet, so he was in no mood to argue with him.
He picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy the food by himself.
“Mr. Jeon, that nephew of yours still owes me three million dollars! I wouldn’t usually fuss over such a small amount of money, but I heard that your relationship with him has gone sour. If that’s the case, I’ll have no choice but to go after him for it.”
“I caught him flirting with my twenty-year-old daughter once. I called him up and gave him a piece of my mind! He didn’t manage to trick me into investing with him, so he thought he could try his luck with my little girl! It’s disgusting!”
“Nic Jeon is infamous in the financial world. Everything he invests in eventually goes bust. He’s so stupid that you can’t help but feel a little bad for him. He would’ve been a goner a long time ago if it weren’t for his father’s support!”
While the guests were ridiculing Nic, Jungkook’s gaze unintentionally fell on Tar.
“Are you checking to see if I’ve lost my appetite?” Tae said as he met his eyes. “The food’s good, but the pasta is a little undercooked. I’m done eating.”
He put down his knife and fork, then said, “I’m not interested in what you’re talking about, so I’m going home!”
When he stood up from his seat, Jungkook grabbed onto his arm to stop him from leaving.
Tae tried to shake his hand off but failed.
He glared at him and said, “You must have too much time on your hands. I’ve got a thesis to write! If you don’t let me go, then I’ll send it to you and you can finish it for me.”
Seeing his sullen expression, Jungkook released his grip.
When Tae arrived on the first floor, he saw Nic with a glass of champagne in his hand. He was slightly hunched, and he was singing flattering words to a group of people. He did it with the utmost respect.
He was already completely over him, so he simply turned away and walked out of the villa.
Jungkook arrived back at the mansion at 10 p.m. that night When Mrs. Min saw him, she asked, “Did Sir Tae not come home with you, sir?” Jungkook checked the time on his wristwatch, then raised his brows and said, “He left at eight. He’s not home yet?”
