SEDUCTIVE EMBER'S || HEESUN 𝟏𝟖+ ||

Apprise 🔞 - Chapter 20

Heeseung hurriedly strode out of the opulent hallway, his grip on his phone tightening with each step. The party he had been attending was a high-profile affair, filled with influential figures from the business and political elite, even though he never asked for it, he was forced to be here. 

 

He knew his presence was important but does he care? No. Yeju was the one who wanted him to be here, also his dad who had forced him to be there but it has always been up to him, if he wants to stay or leave.

 

Glancing out the grand entryway, he saw his trusted secretary had already brought the sleek, black sedan around, ready to whisk him away from the lavish gathering. 

 

Heeseung knew this abrupt departure would be seen as highly unprofessional, but the situation unfolding between him and Sunoo requires his immediate attention.

 

He quickly called Jay, discreetly informing him of the need to leave and entrusting Jay to handle his remaining obligations at the party. Jay was more than capable, and Heeseung knew he could rely on his friend to smoothly navigate the social waters in his absence.

 

As Heeseung approached the waiting car, his secretary turned to him with a tablet in hand. 

 

"Did you check his location?" Heeseung asked, his brow furrowing with concern and the secretary nodded, pulling up the GPS data on the device. 

 

"His phone location shows he is still at the mansion." the secretary reported, his tone measured and professional. Heeseung's eyes narrowed slightly, another question burning in his mind. 

 

"And what about the one following me?" he inquired, getting comfortable in his seat.

 

The secretary quickly navigated the tablet, his fingers flying across the screen. "I've been monitoring the situation, sir." he explained. 

 

"It appears the individual who was tailing you, has been sending your photos and location updates to a specific individual." Heeseung nodded slightly.

 

"To whom?" he demanded, his jaw clenching in anticipation of the answer. The secretary hesitated for the briefest of moments before meeting Heeseung's intense gaze. 

 

"To Kim Sunoo-ssi." he revealed. Heeseung felt a surge of surprise wash over him, not because he doubted the information, but because he had not anticipated this particular name. 

 

Heeseung felt his jaw clench involuntarily, a physical manifestation of the whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. He had never imagined that his sweet, petite kitten, could orchestrate such a calculated maneuver, all while cloistered in the confines of the mansion, dutifully immersed in his studies. 

 

This revelation shredded the carefully crafted image Heeseung had of his kitten- the vulnerable, delicate, innocent soul who relied on his protection at every turn. 

 

In that moment, he realized just how mistaken he had been. Sunoo was no simpering damsel but a force to be reckoned with, a master strategist whose capabilities far exceeded the delicate façade he presented to the world.
