Chapter 26: INTERROGATION

HAAAH. Garam didn’t know how he ended up on Song Sihyuk’s lap, but that was his current position. To be precise, they were in the passenger seat of the Alpha’s fancy car that was parked in an obscure part of the restaurant’s parking space. Fortunately, there were no other cars around them. Moreover, Shin Geon and Song Sihyuk’s bodyguards were blocking all the entrances. "Hyung, we’re not going to get caught by the paparazzi, right?" Garam asked worriedly. "I don’t want to see pictures of me sitting on your lap inside a car, in a dark parking lot, tomorrow morning." Yeah, that was his exact position. Fortunately, Garam wasn’t facing the Alpha. Song Sihyuk had his arms wrapped around his waist while his face was buried against his neck, though. Why does Sihyuk Hyung keep sniffing me? Garam knew it wasn’t because he stank— he was always voted as one of the idols who smelled the best in real life. He wasn’t an Omega either, so there was no way he was releasing pheromones. And, yet, Sihyuk Hyung is sniffing me like he can’t get enough of my scent. "Hyung, stop sniffing me," Garam scolded the Alpha. "Are you a dog?" "Arf, arf." Yeah, Song Sihyuk really barked like a dog. This crazy bastard... Garam looked over his shoulder and glared at the Alpha. "Hyung, let’s get a divorce. I married an Alpha— not a dog." Song Sihyuk laughed, but he thankfully stopped sniffing Garam already. "Don’t be upset. I just missed your scent, that’s all." "Do Alphas enjoy Betas’ scent, too?" "I don’t know about other Alphas, but I like your scent, Garam-ah." "So, you’re just a pervert." "You turn me into a pervert, so you actually have to take responsibility," Song Sihyuk said, his hand now gently rubbing Garam’s belly. "Should we head to my place and talk?" Oh, this old man is seducing me. Garam was about to say he wasn’t falling for that, but he gasped when he remembered something important. "Hyung, I’m supposed to have a meeting with the representatives of a beauty brand. Was it a fake invitation so you could drag me here?" "No. The offer from that beauty brand is real, and I already told Myung Hyesu to accept it." "Now you’re even deciding what brands I work with." "You won’t regret it. My cousin owns that brand— she swears it’s going to change the beauty cosmetics game in the country." So, it’s another brand deal from SG Group... wait. "Our group lost three brand deals to ENERGENES—brands that are under the SG Group," Garam said bitterly. "Did you give them to your mistress?" Song Sihyuk raised an eyebrow. "I have a mistress?" "Don’t play dumb. ENERGENES’ Oh Hyunju spread the rumor himself. Apparently, he’s being sponsored by SG Group’s heir. You’re an only child, right?" "Yeah." "You didn’t lose your spot as the heir to your relatives, did you?" Song Sihyuk scoffed. "I’m the most competent man in our family, so why would my grandfather choose someone else to inherit the company?" "Then you’re really the one Oh Hyunju was talking about. He did name-drop you several times." "And you believed that person? Is that why you sent those divorce papers?" "I didn’t believe him. I’m not the type to believe a one-sided story easily. That’s why I sent those divorce papers— to lure you out and confront you like this." "Aww. My brat is so smart," Song Sihyuk said, suddenly talking as if he were talking to a child. He even ruffled Garam’s hair affectionately. "Do you want daddy to give you a kiss?" This horny dog... "Garam-ah, you just cursed me in your head, didn’t you? I can see it in your eyes." "Hyung, take this conversation seriously, will you?" "First, let me explain about the brand deals that your group lost," Song Sihyuk said. Fortunately, this time, he looked serious. "You lost Chocookie, didn’t you? That chocolate cookie snack." "Yeah." "Chocookie is going to be phased out next year since it couldn’t beat Ilsung Group’s LuckyChocopie." "Oh." "And the home appliance that you were supposed to promote? Forget it— it’s predicted to flop since the production was rushed. Hence, the quality suffered." "Ah." "Lastly, that fast-food chain endorsement? It will just harm your career since people are boycotting that company at the moment." "Really?" "Yes. I only took away the brands that will harm your career," Song Sihyuk said, and then he smirked. "And I gave them to the group that targeted you." Oho? Then Sihyuk Hyung wants ENGERGENES to be destroyed? Garam raised an eyebrow. "So, Oh Hyunju isn’t really your mistress." "Did you really think I would sponsor another person while we’re married?" "Well, Oh Hyunju is a pretty Omega..." "I haven’t met that Omega kid— not even once." Garam knitted his eyebrows, confused. "Then why does Oh Hyunju keep mentioning your name?" "I guess I should start with why I suddenly half-ghosted you. So, let’s head back to my place." "You horny dog—" "We’re just really going to talk," Song Sihyuk said, cutting him off while laughing. "For now." "For now?" Song Sihyuk just shrugged nonchalantly. "And there’s someone you need to meet. She’s staying at my place, and that’s why I keep asking you to come home with me." ’She?’ Garam didn’t want to assume, so he made a quick decision: "Fine, let’s go to your place— I want to meet the woman you’re talking about." *** IT WASN’T a woman— it was a little girl who was probably around eight to ten years old. The child looked pretty gloomy while sitting on the big sofa, which made her look smaller than she really was. But she looks cute in her onesie pajama. "Hyung, who’s this little girl?" "Her name is Mija." "That’s a pretty name," Garam said, nodding. "But I’m asking who she is to you, Hyung." Song Sihyuk tilted his head to one side, smiling while staring at Garam’s face as if he were waiting for his reaction. "What if I tell you she’s my daughter?" *** Please ADD <SECRETLY MARRIED TO A CHAEBOL ALPHA> to your LIBRARY to be notified when an update is posted. Thank you! :>
