L'amante dei serpenti

Chapter 4

Sofia

The loud wailing of my alarm going off woke me from what I wished was a pleasant sleep but it was anything but. The whole night I kept tossing and turning wondering who the men were working for. I hadn't even been here that long nor had the partnership with the Kwons really started, so why was there already a mess. I silenced the alarm before kicking my covers off in frustration and going to shower. Once I was out of the shower I sent Alex a text having him get the car ready as I wanted to go see Seungri to ask him about last night.

We arrived at the warehouse and Alex followed me in wanting to make sure I was safe. When we got to the bottom of the stairs we waited for the guard to unlock the doors and allow us entry. The warehouse was full of people going about their business unloading and loading up guns and ammunition. I paid them no mind as I walked right to Seungri's office giving it a brief knock before entering. I went and sat down across from his desk while Alex stood at the door keeping an eye on things.

"Seungri, what happened last night? I thought you ran things pretty tight here, I didn't expect an issue so early on in this partnership."

"My apologies Sofia, we normally have no problems with shipments. I am just as surprised as you are about this issue. If anything, I feel embarrassed about this, I do have my men looking into this and we will let you know once anything is discovered."

"What are you going to do about the future shipments?"

"Of course we will take extra precautions when it comes to your shipments the next time, we won't have a repeat of last night."

"I really hope not. I don't want to take up any more of your time, you are a busy man after all."

I stood to leave and Seungri stood reaching his hand out to shake.

"Sofia, I will get back to you once I find anything out."

"You do that."

I turned and walked out the door with Alex following behind me. When we got to the car I called Jiyong to see if he knew anything, especially since they were also spying on the hotel last night. He said they have no info about either issue but they are looking into. With no information coming from either of them I told Alex to make sure we have our own men watching the shipments from now on.

The drive to the office was long and I was tired, wishing I could have stayed home to rest instead of having to get into work. When we arrived at my office, Alex let me off in front as he went to go park the car and to do some rounds around the building. I walked in letting a long yawn escape my mouth, my eyes shut and hand covering my mouth kept me from seeing my visitor until I heard his deep chuckle. I stopped in my tracks and opened my eyes to see Woo Bin standing next to my door with two cups of '123coffee in his hands.

"Good morning, long night?"

"Good morning Woo Bin, not really. What brings you here?"

"I just wanted to apologize about last night. Seunghyun and I have some bad memories in our past, I wish you wouldn't have had to see that."

I smiled at him and took the cup of coffee he offered, happy to have some kind of caffeine rushing through my veins. I unlocked the door and held it open for him to enter, he walked in and went to sit down in front of my desk crossing his leg over the other. The way he walked was as if he glided on air, as if he didn't have a care in the world. I went to my desk taking my jacket off and hanging it up before I sat down across from him.

"So how is business?"

"Business is good, a little slow but after last night I am sure it will pick up."
