He was looking at the view of Seoul through huge windows in the ST Capsule's presidential office when Doyeol heard a knock and said:

"Come in."

The door opened, and the head secretary walked in. The head secretary stood behind him and made his report.

"Team 3 was following him, but he made them."

"They are so incompetent!"

"No, but he got really upset. It happened on the subway."

"Hm." Doyeol nodded and said "OK. However, if he catches them one more time, that will be the end of Team 3."

"I understand," the head secretary answered and left.

Doyeol had his hands behind his back and murmured:

"He survived that place, so he must be very careful."

Doyeol touched his chin, took a seat and called up his secretary.

"Director Kim made an appointment for dinner. When is it?"

"Thursday evening at six o'clock at the Royal Hotel."

"Thursday? I see."

Doyeol rested his chin on his hands.

"When I meet him, I will know."

They started following him early in the morning. Junhyuk got to work and looked around at everyone. He was looking for the people following him, but didn't see any of them.

"So, the company is safe."

Junhyuk took notice of everything around him and sat down. All of his coworkers had dark circles around their eyes. As the collaboration project got going, they became less healthy.

Junhyuk checked on the progress of the collaboration. He had just been in a commercial, but he still wanted to know what was taking place. However, he did not find more about the project.

Eunseo was looking for him, and Junhyuk went to her office. She told him calmly:

"You have an appointment today at lunch time."

"OK," Junhyuk answered, and Eunseo fixed her glasses and looked at him.

"I sent the videos to Robotics, and a team from Robotics wants to meet you. So, we have a lunch appointment."

"OK."

Junhyuk was not worried about it. It was a work thing, so he didn't have to spend his own money, and Eunseo was not the type to dine with him alone.

Eunseo looked at him and said:

"Then, I will see you at lunch."

"You are coming too?"

She continued:

"This time, they will speak English. Is that OK? We might want to bring an interpreter with us."

"It's fine. I told you I speak some foreign languages."

He had bought the language pill. He didn't need an interpreter.

"I will trust you then. You should come back to my office by 11:20 a.m."

"OK."

Junhyuk said goodbye and left. Eunseo opened her desk's drawer. The paper airplane made out of Junhyuk's application was in it, and Eunseo shook her head.

"Can I trust him?"

She would know how good his English skills were after lunch.

--

He read the materials on the collaboration project. It was 11:10 a.m., and Junhyuk got up and went over to Mr. Jang.

He was on the phone and hung up to look at Junhyuk.

"What is the matter?"

"Chief Eunseo asked me to join her for lunch with the people from Robotics, may I leave now?"

"About the advertisement?"

"It looks that way."

Mr. Jang nodded.

"I see. Don't make a mistake."

"Of course!"

"Enjoy your lunch!"

"You too."

Junhyuk nodded to the other people and headed toward Eunseo's office. He opened the door and found Eunseo and Director Sukhoon Kim inside.

Junhyuk greeted him, and Sukhoon smiled.

"We meet again," Sukhoon said.

"Right. How is your health?" Junhyuk replied.

"It hasn't been that long of a time. Let's go!" Eunseo interjected.

"OK."

Sukhoon pushed Eunseo"s wheelchair. There was no need for that, but Sukhoon wanted to.

They went down to the parking lot and got on a luxurious limousine. They went to a traditional Korean restaurant. It was supposed to be really extravagant and expensive.

The limousine stopped, and a woman wearing a traditional Korean dress walked over.

"We have a room reserved."

"The other guests aren't here yet?"

"No."

Sukhoon looked at Junhyuk.

"Let's go."

"Right."

Junhyuk thought about pushing Eunseo's wheelchair, but she moved ahead of them.

They went into the reserved room, and Sukhoon told Junhyuk:

"I watched the movie."

"Thank you."

"My brother wants to see you."

"Your brother...?"

Junhyuk started asking him, and Eunseo got really surprised and looked at Sukhoon. Sukhoon smiled.

"Our company's CEO."

"The president?"

"Right. How about Thursday evening?"

"That's fine."

He should make some time for the company. The president wanted to dine with him, and he couldn't refuse. Sukhoon smiled.

"Then, I will tell him."

They heard the woman who guided them announce someone:

"Mr. Clinton from Robotics is here."

"Tell him to come in."

"I will guide him."

Soon, the door opened, and two men came in. One man was in his 40s, and the other looked to be his secretary.

Sukhoon spoke to him in English.

"I didn't expect to see you in person."

"Ha-ha-ha! I am in charge of the collaboration project, so shouldn't I be here?"

Clinton looked at Eunseo, and she nodded back at him.

"I'm not well. Please, excuse me for not standing up."

Clinton bowed, took her hand and kissed it.

"You look very beautiful. Had I known, I would have come earlier."

Eunseo did not speak and fixed her glasses, and Clinton turned to Junhyuk.

"You must be him, the collaboration project's ad model."

"Nice to meet you. I am Junhyuk Lee."

Clinton exchanged greeting, and Sukhoon offered him a seat.

"Let's all seat."

Everyone took a seat. The other man was Clinton's secretary and sat behind him. He didn't even look up, so he had to be a secretary.

Sukhoon ordered food, and they soon brought many dishes. They were traditional Korean dishes, and there were more than thirty different items.

"Let's eat first."

They began eating, and Junhyuk was astounded by the taste of the food. It was all so expensive and delicious, and he liked it a lot.

The meal was over, and Eunseo and Clinton conversed. Clinton looked at Junhyuk.

"I watched the movie. It came out really nice."

"It's just good editing. For my part, I just went on a trip."

"Ha-ha-ha! You are modest."

Clinton smiled.

"This ad will go out to the entire world, and ABC will run a special broadcast."

He hadn't expected that, and Clinton continued:

"Don't worry. We think everything will work out fine."

"It's good to know."

"We want to cut the scenes at the hot spring. What do you think?"

Eunseo frowned, and Clinton continued:

"It's not really a necessary scene. Should we edit it out?"

Eunseo looked at Sukhoon, and he nodded. It wasn't a problem. Eunseo thought about it and looked at Clinton.

She still had the full version with herself, which she wouldn't give up so easily.

"Do we have enough time left?" Clinton asked.

"The bathing scene is about ten minutes. We should be able to edit it out."

She didn't know why Clinton wanted to cut the scene, but she agreed and nodded.

In South Korea, ST Capsule was a major corporation, but the Robotics brand was much bigger at the world stage.

They had the power to make a deal with ABC.

Clinton thought he had resolved the matter and asked Junhyuk:

"On that scene, you are wearing a strange pendant. Could I see it?"

Junhyuk was really surprised. He could see it, but he couldn't wear it. Whoever wore it had their defensive and accuracy powers increase.

If he wore it, he would find out about the pendant's power, and that it was not ordinary. Junhyuk untied his tie and showed it to him.

"I am sorry. I will show it to you, but you may not take it."

"All right! I'll just look at it."

Clinton placed the pendant on his hand and looked at the engravings.

"It's on film, but it is still astounding. What are these engravings?"

"I don't know. It's just family heirloom."

"Right."

Clinton sat down again and smiled at Junhyuk.

"I collect gems. I've never seen one like that before, and it's engraved. I want it."

Junhyuk did not speak. Clinton pushed the point.

"Do you want to sell it to me?"

"What?"

"I will pay you five million dollars for it."

Sukhoon and Eunseo were surprised at the price, but he couldn't sell his runestones. He was curious.

Do they know about the runestone? If not, they should just look like a sapphire, a ruby and a topaz, but why is he offering such a crazy amount of money for it?

Then, he remembered the people he had seen that morning.

They had been Korean, so he was suspicious but wasn't sure.

Junhyuk needed to be careful.

"I'm sorry. It's not about the money. I can't sell it even for ten million. Please understand."

Sukhoon and Eunseo were surprised again. Junhyuk was not from a wealthy family, but he couldn't sell it for ten million dollars?

Clinton smiled at him.

"I thought I would ask. If I made you feel bad, I apologize."

Junhyuk saw the glimmer in Clinton's eyes, keenly, gleaming eyes. He should watch out for him.

"I'm OK. You don't have to apologize."

They talked for a while and left. The limousine was heading back, and Sukhoon wanted to see the pendant.

Junhyuk just showed it to him, and he shook his head.

"There are no signs of any engravings, but he offered five million dollars for it. He must be quite a collector!"

Eunseo also looked at the pendant and nodded her head.

"You are something else. You wouldn't sell it even for ten million dollars."

Junhyuk smiled, and Eunseo fixed her glasses. He had been shocked by a 500,000-dollar contract, but he couldn't sell it for ten million dollars. She was curious about the pendant, but it was none of her business.

Sukhoon and Eunseo were curious, but Clinton was different. He had to be more careful.
