Prey - Chapter 18
Suhyeon was the one taken aback by his words, which he delivered without changing his expression.
She wanted to shoot back something in response, but she didn’t want to stay next to this man for long with her panties wet. Despite knowing there was no way he could find out, her heart kept racing with anxiety.
We are now at the basement level 1.
As the elevator stopped and the doors opened, Suhyeon quickly walked out.
“Seol Suhyeon.”
A low voice followed her from behind.
As she rushed through the entrance, trying to escape that voice, she emerged into the underground parking lot just in time.
Creeeak-!
“Ah!”
As a car came rushing towards her, everything in front of Suhyeon became glaringly bright. Her body froze in shock.
Just then, a hand reached out from behind and pulled her forcefully.
“…!”
Suhyeon was yanked into a solid embrace. She could hear the sound of the car passing just behind her.
Ah.
When she lifted her head, her eyes met his. Suhyeon inhaled sharply at his expressionless face.
“What the hell are you doing?”
His low voice seemed laced with anger over the earlier incident.
“You….”
As Suhyeon tried to respond, the scent of his body mixed with his cologne invaded her nostrils.
Inhale.
At that moment, the vivid memory of being roughly held by him in her dreams flooded her mind. The overwhelming pleasure she had felt resurfaced, causing her body to heat up, making her eyes waver.
…No!
“Let me go!”
Suhyeon said firmly, pushing him away.
Suhyeon stepped back and looked at Jeonghan.
As she stood there under his gaze, she chewed on her lip.
*What am I doing?*
After all, he had saved her from getting hit by a car, so she should at least thank him.
“I didn’t see the car coming… thanks for saving me,” she said quickly, turning away from him.
A sigh escaped her lips.
Everything felt chaotic. The persistent lewd dreams about him over the past few days, coupled with her body’s reactions, left her feeling unsettled.
It was all because of Jeonghan’s sudden appearance.
Suppressing her noisy thoughts, Suhyeon walked towards her car and opened the driver’s door.
*Thud.*
The door, which had just been opened, closed again abruptly.
Startled, Suhyeon turned around to see Jeonghan standing right behind her, looking down at her.
“Get in my car.”
“Move aside.”
Ignoring his words, Suhyeon tried to open the car door again.
*Thud.*
Suhyeon furrowed her brow at the closed door.
“Are you going to move your hand?”
Jeonghan tilted his head slightly, gazing at her intently.
“You’d better listen to me.”
“Why would I get into your car?”
She shot back defiantly, but suddenly her phone began to ring.
Frowning, she glanced at the screen.
*Director Han Heetae?*
Narrowing her eyes at the name displayed on her phone, she pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Director Han.”
As soon as she picked up, the director’s voice came through.
– *We’re going on a business trip with Director Do Jeonghan. Seol, I need you to be ready.*
Suhyeon’s eyes widened in surprise.
“…What? A business trip?”
– *It was scheduled at the last minute, so I hope you understand. You’ll receive a call from Director Do Jeonghan shortly.*
“Wait a second! Director…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the call ended, and her phone screen displayed the call ended notification.
*Ha.*
Frustration bubbled up inside her.
Looking down at her incredulous face,Jeonghan said,
“Then you should listen to me, Seol Suhyeon.”
Suhyeon raised her head. His coldly looking face was so annoyingly handsome that it made her even angrier.
“Do you really think I can’t quit my job?”
With a provocation in her raised eyebrows, Jeonghan looked down at her without changing his expression.
“Go ahead, try.”
He said in a low voice. His relaxed expression felt like a predator hiding its claws behind.
As she examined his face, Jeonghan took a step closer.
“!”
Startled, Suhyeon stepped back. Jeonghan closed the distance further and stood tall in front of her.
“I said, try it.”
From this close distance, he looked directly down at her.
“If you want to cry and regret thinking this is better now.”
What…?
In front of Suhyeon, who felt perplexed, his eyes, watching her, darkened intensely.
Why, why does he have that kind of look?
In that moment, Suhyeon’s mind became a whirlpool.
