Absolute Advantage

ââ¦â¦.â
ââ¦â¦.â
Haewon stared at the cup with the sunken tea leaves. She doesnât know how many times she bit her innocent lips.
Where should I start? I shouldnât be suspicious.
âWhy are you only looking at the teacup?â
Hae-won raised his head at Adamâs snap. Gray eyes were looking straight at her, which did not feel vital.
âThe interrupters are gone. You can watch as much as you want.â
Adam put his chin on the back of his pinched hand. Naturally, he looked like a fox with a soft tail when he talked down and asked politely again.
âDidnât you like my face?â
Adam tilted his head slightly to the side.
At the same time, the tail of the drooping eyes bent strangely. He was such an attractive man that she wondered how many women would not fall for that smile.
But Hae-won couldnât afford to admire the distant charm. Hae-won asked, shaking off the slight fever and pinching the back of his hand.
âDid we see each other somewhere?â
âYour comment is too cliche.â
Adam untied his fingers and leaned his back against the chair. He breathed a sigh with his face, but he clearly felt bored.
âIâm not doing itâ¦â¦.â
Unknowingly, Hae-won, dried at Adamâs pace, stopped talking and took a slow deep breath.
Just by looking at his attitude toward Chairman Seo a while ago, he didnât seem to be a person who could talk heart to heart.
âIâm sorry. I must have seen the wrong person.â
Hae-won got up from her seat with one hair stuck in her ear.
Yeah, he canât be that alpha. Thatâs when she turned her back.
âOh.â
Adam, who woke up next, pulled Haewonâs wrist. Haewonâs body was helpless. As she blinked, Adamâs broad chest filled her vision.
When she looked up as it was, his eyes were glittering like a child who found a toy that he liked.
However, Hae-won felt that innocent expression was rather threatening.
âItâs dangerous.â
Haewon took a step back but Adam didnât let go of Haewonâs wrists. The caught wrist was hot, as if it was handcuffed to the fire.
The heart, which had barely calmed down by the distant body temperature, ran again and claimed itself.
âAre you leaving already?â
âPlease let me go.â
âWell.â
Adam pretended to think carefully,
âI donât want toâ
He retorted with a brazen tilt of his head.
It was not enough, so he put strength into her wrist. It seemed that there would be a hand mark. Adamâs body was as hot as fire. Or itâs just that her body is cold.
âYou donât like me?â
ââ¦What? Let go of this hand.â
Hae-won, embarrassed by the sudden question, stuttered even to the words. As Hae-won continued to step back, Adam continued to follow to fill the gap.
Haewon, who was glancing behind, eventually stopped in place. If she keeps walking backward, she might fall into the pond.
âIâm good.â
Haewon doubted her ears.
Adamâs eyes and voice were clearly sexual. In this way, he could even feel Haewon.
This was the realm of instinct.
âWhat, are you saying youâre good at it?â
âWell, what could it be?â
Adam smiled.
Grabbing Haewonâs hair that flowed down as it is and put it behind her ears. As soon as his fingertips came down, stroking her earlobe and scanning her jawline, Hae-won took a deep breath without realizing it.
At the same time, Adamâs lingering honey-sweet scent filled her heart, and it seemed like a subtle sweetness spread from deep inside her mouth.
As expected, he is not an alpha. But why does her fever keep rising and her heart is shaking? He is an omega.
âUhâ¦â¦.â
Hae-won was so drunk and stuttering that she didnât even notice that Adam had put his nose on her neck.
There was nothing wrong with smelling the reverberation. Haewon was hiding the fact that she was an omega by using Alphaâs âresidueâ that was artificially created.
Adamâs smell will be the reverberation of the alpha.
As expected, Adam, who breathed in, tilted his head. It seemed like something was wrong.
However, he didnât panic and naturally straightened his body. Then Haewon lifted the tip of his chin.
âWhat are you good at?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âWhat you are thinking right now. I can do it all for you.â
Was the voice of a snake seducing a woman like this? What a sinful ring.
The omegaâs instinct to be hugged by Alpha slowly opened her eyes. A thirst arose for unfulfilled desires, and Haewon swallowed her saliva and moistened her dry throat. But soon he came to his senses and pushed Adam away with all his might.
âYou know what Iâm thinking, and youâre saying that?â
Hae-won stared at Adam with her eyes wide open. To be exact, it was an act of resisting oneâs own desires.
