The Last Snow: Love Me Once Again For A Year Chapter 96

I was silent for a while, looking at A Yeong with a frown before asking indifferently, "What does he want to talk to me about?"
A Yeong explained, "Actually, when I asked about that, Mr. Lee didn't want to tell me. He only said that it was an important matter that should be discussed privately with you, sir. But, I said that you're busy, so I asked Mr. Lee to arrange an appointment so that I could confirm your free time, but he refused and wanted to see you that day. He forced me to give him your cell phone number, so— "
"So, it is you who gave him?!" I gasped and immediately sat up straight. Glaring at A Yeong furiously, I cursed her, "So, that's why he calls me almost every day these days?! I told you that you should never give my number to anyone that I don't have business relations with!"
A Yeong tried to defend herself, "So, what should I do, sir? I have no choice. When Mr. Lee came for the third time, he wanted to follow you to Busan to talk about what he meant. Of course, I can't let it be. I know that you will scold me too. So, he asked for your number and I had no choice but give it to him."
"Besides, it doesn't matter I think. Mr. Lee is related to your father, so I think he just wants to talk about the agency. Because I heard, some people there are starting to withdraw their shares one by one, so maybe Mr. Lee wants to ask you to cooperate at the new agency in your family. Didn't your father already say that his new agency will do his first cooperation with GIM Agency?"
I leaned my back against the back of the sofa while massaging the bridge of my nose. "You talk too much but you don't know anything. No wonder Lee has been terrorizing me lately."
Sighing heavily, A Yeong said, "It can't be helped, sir. You never told me in detail. How do I know? So, I'm only talking about the facts that I see."
I was silent. Inhaled and exhaled slowly in silence, trying to relax.
"So what should I do, sir? Do I need to arrange a meeting?" A Yeong asked.
"No. Don't ever do that. I'll take care of it by myself," I replied firmly.

A Yeong sighed heavily. "Well, noted, sir — oh, by the way, your father called—"
Before A Yeong could finish her words, my cell phone suddenly vibrated. I immediately got up from my seat, then walked to the window to pick up the phone.
"Um, sorry for bothering you, sir. I just got a message from Big Master. He wants you to replace him to attend Mr. Nam's daughter engagement this afternoon and the other agenda tomorrow night because he has other business on these two days," Oh Yeonjae explained on the phone.
"I can't. Dr. Liam said I have to rest a lot. You heard him, didn't you? Besides, I also have to still be in my office this afternoon. If you're not busy, do it for me."
Oh Yeonjae was heard apologetic, "I'm sorry, sir. My works are piling up. Some managers are starting to urge me to restore some of the structures you've changed recently."
"I see. Alright then."
As soon as the phone hung up, I immediately asked A Yeong to attend the engagement. However, because A Yeong was also complaining about her works, I had no choice but to attend it in person.
Right at noon. In a five-star hotel.
The guests crowded the hall, which was glowing with golden lights. There were several empty seats, but it didn't diminish the excitement of the event.
After the two lovebirds exchanged the rings, I immediately went up to congratulate them and give them a gift.
Seeing me from a distance, a woman who just got engaged was looking surprised with sparkling eyes. As I was near her, she hugged me like a brother.
"Brother Kim! I didn't expect you to come to my engagement! Yesterday, you said that you couldn't attend and made me very disappointed. But, now, I'm really happy to see you," she said happily.
I forced a smile. "I changed my mind. Congratulations on your engagement. Finally this my little sister is getting married. It feels like just yesterday you were whining at me, but now you're an adult."
Removing her embrace, Nam Ah In chuckled while posing two fingers like her favorite character. "Haha, I thought Brother Kim was tired of hearing me whining, so I decided to get married so I could do it to him every day."
I smiled.
Without lingering in this place, I immediately gave my gift to them. I was about to leave the hall but as I walked towards the exit, a voice was heard calling out my name from a distance.

I turned my head and saw Nam Yongsun at a table sitting alone. He waved at me, asking me to come to him, so with a heavy heart, I turned my steps and walked over to him.
I shook hands with him, then sat opposite him. "Why are you here? Ah In was at the altar, why don't you accompany her there?"
He chuckled. "She already has a man who will look after her in the future. I've given my daughter to him completely."
Hearing the joke, I smiled coldly and mocked him with the words, "I believe that you arranged their matrimony."
"Ah In is my beloved child. But, our business must also be developed and strengthened, so their matrimony is something important and urgent for our family. Fortunately, Ah In is an obedient child. If only you agreed to marry her, she would also agree to it," he said, chuckling.
"Heh, nonsense. She's like my little sister. I can't possibly want to marry my own sister."
"Yeah, that's the problem. But, I am very grateful to have a daughter who is willing to obey me. Unlike my brother who has a son that is always rebellious when he was offered a woman, and often runs away," Yongsun replied, sarcastically.
I didn't respond.
He continued to say, "You know your father really wants you to marry the daughter of the Hwang family. Yesterday, I met him and talked about you. He said that you embarrassed him because of the footage that was showing you chasing someone at the airport. You have to remember that it could be a disaster in your family business. I advise you to accept your matrimony. Apart from strengthening the business in your family, it will also help to cover up your recent rumors." Paused for a moment, he asked suspiciously, "But, anyway, who is that guy you were chasing after at the airport? You look really close to him."
I replied indifferently, "Whoever he is, it's none of your business."
He chuckled. "I thought that you just admitted the rumors about yourself. I don't really care who you are in a relationship with, but you also have to know yourself about which family you were born from. You can love anyone, but business is business. Matrimony is common in business. Marry that woman for business and after that, you are free to fuck anyone out there on the condition, that don't let the reporters find out and everything will go well."
"..."
"You know, your father won't be able to defend you as his son much longer. The media crews are constantly pushing him and his business opponents have started moving, and it's all because of you. If you had siblings, your father might have thrown you out of his house and I'm sure that you won't inherit a penny. But, sadly, you are only his son and he has great hopes for you. Don't disappoint him again. You've done it too many times."
Hearing his explanation, I didn't show any expression. I was expecting that he would bring this matter up, so I wasn't surprised when I heard that.
Besides that, approaching him was also just a formality as a family. I just needed to be a good listener, then leave without getting anything.
Not getting any response, Nam Yongsun sighed in disappointment. "So where have you been lately? Why don't you ever come back to your house?"
Hearing the question, I glanced sharply at him. "I'm a grown man. Everywhere I go has nothing to do with other people."
"Your father is looking for you. You often come to work but never come home. Sounds suspicious, doesn't it?"
Sickened by his words, I immediately stood up. "I have to go."
Finishing my words, I immediately walked to the exit. He didn't stop me and just kept showing a mysterious smile on his face.
However, before passing through the door, Nam Yongsun said behind my back, "You should consider what I said. Don't let yourself regret everything one day."
I just heard those words like a wind passing by without stopping my steps downstairs.
In front of the hotel, a car was parked in front of the entrance, then I immediately got into it, and went to the company to sort things out until nightfall.
