He cut her off in between and looked right into her eyes.
"You want me to strike a deal with you?"
He raked his eyes over her from head to toe and said, "Fine. Sleep with me and I'll consider not taking over your company. As simple as that."

"So, he didn't comply with your talk." guessed Jin.
"No, he didn't even let me speak. He was too cocky. He said he'd 'consider' not taking over if I slept with him." Kira said, gritting her teeth. Jin looked like he wanted to slaughter Taehyung. He just might have if it weren't for his love for peace and allergy to go to jail.
"We have information on Saengmyeong ltd. Right? If I remember right, it was one of our first missions." Kira said and Jin nodded.
Kira and Jin were trained in various martial arts as kids, their parents insisted on it for protection. A physical fight was piece of cake to both of them. But as they stepped into business, they knew that intellect was a major part of it. As a hobby, they'd both sneak up on huge companies to find out their secrets, any loopholes that might give leverage. As much as it was fun, it helped them take precautions against huge tycoons that might threaten to take up their company. Usually, Kira's talk sets them on bay but she failed this time.
Kim Taehyung had a common yet dangerous weakness. He was a drug dealer. Kira didn't know when they'd started it but she knew that he had a huge amount of unaccounted money coming straight through this illegal activity. Taehyung's co-partner, Jeon Jungkook was the one who did most of the dirty work. Money wasn't their primary aim, it was having fun. Drugs, alcohol and money are the dangerous combination that keeps him vulnerable. Jin and Kira had found that out a few years ago, getting information on few more other companies in the process.
Kira and Jin had a very simple aim. They didn't need huge amount of money; they gave most of that to the poor. What they wanted was their business: a lifeline that had sustained their parents, happiness and their tiny family. Along the way, they collected information for fun. This time, it proved useful.
Soon, they made plans. Plans to sabotage their 'enemy.' They didn't need much time to make the necessary arrangements. A few calls, some action and a little bit of sass was all they needed.
It was late at night, they'd got all they wanted, including a confirmation that Taehyung was still in his office. Kira checked her earpiece one last time before she entered the office. She knew the path to his room now. Most of the lights were off as most of the employees left after a long day of work. Taehyung's assistant was out of sight too.
She knocked on the door and got into the room. Taehyung was still busy, going through the heap of files on his table. He looked up at her as she walked closer to his table.
"Back so soon? I didn't know you were this eager to sell off your company." Smirked Taehyung.
Kira simply smiled. And for the first time, confusion was written all over his face. "Taehyung, you could have let me go when you had the chance. I really didn't want to do this."
"What are you talking about?" he asked, gaining his composure. Kira sighed and took out a small pen drive.
"I know about your small little business. You've been a bad boy."
He remained silent.
"This pen drive, it contains solid evidences on your drug dealing business. My friend is standing right next to a media company. One call, that's all it takes for your company to crumble."
"How do I know that you're not lying?" he asked, not standing to deny Kira's claim.
"You can check it out yourself." She shrugged.
He plugged it to the computer and sure enough, there he was, along with Jungkook. He unplugged the pen drive and gripped it hard. He was clearly trying to control his rage and soon enough, the plastic outer cover of the pen drive crumbled down in pieces.
"You do know that I've got another one, right?" Kira said, folding her hands.
Taehyung didn't speak for a while; he called out for his body guard and in came a man, twice the size of Kira. He tried to grab her; she spun out his grasp, kneed him in the crotch and chocked his head in between her elbow. A minute later, he fell unconscious to the floor. Taehyung's jaw dropped.
"Wrong move." She said and pointed at her earpiece.
"One word, Taehyung. That's all it takes to end this. But, I feel especially generous today." She quoted him. "Leave me, my family and my company alone and your secret stays safe with me."
"What guarantee do I have that you won't use it against me even if I leave your company?" he asked staring right into kira's eyes.
"I am a woman of my words. And besides, I have no use in watching another company go down. I can promise that."
"Alright. I will leave you, your family and your company alone. And I hope you'll stick to your word too." He looked like he wanted to murder her.
When it came to people like him, cold-blooded murder wasn't probably an issue, Kira thought.
"That's a deal!" smiled kira and softly apologised to the guard before walking off.
