âHaha, you have quite the discerning eye.â
âNaturally.â
Sparks flew between Dr. Park and Lee Sayoung. The smile on Uijaeâs faceâwell, he hadnât smiled to begin withâalso faded. In fact, Uijae rarely smiled at all. He shot a glance at Minggijeok. *What's with him?* Minggijeok, ever perceptive, understood and mouthed back:
'Heâs always like this.'
At the same time, Sayoung shrugged his shoulders.
âThis is troubling⦠Dr. Park.â
âOh? What do you mean by that?â
âYou canât run a business like this.â
Sayoung sighed dramatically, throwing aside the piece of leather he had been inspecting, as if it were something too filthy to handle. Uijaeâs eyes narrowed. *What kind of thug-like tone is that?* Even to the strict Uijae, this behavior felt excessive. After all, Dr. Park looked older than Sayoung. Was he acting like this because he was confident in his rank?
Minggijeok, sensing Uijaeâs twitching shoulders, quickly grabbed him, holding back his finger from pointing accusingly. Sayoungâs mouth continued, relentless. He crossed his arms, speaking in a pitiful tone.
âThe quality of the materials is⦠just too ordinary. This stuff could easily be found in our guildâs storage.â
"â¦â¦."
His smooth voice leaked through the filters of his gas mask.
