Chapter 121 - 13. Ha Eun-young (Seo Eun-mi)
I knew the instant Im Sua walked in that she hadn't betrayed me. I could tell from her stats alone, but more than that, she had zero motive to turn on me. Even if she harbored some massive grudge and plotted betrayal, it sure as hell wouldn't be now. Why the fuck would she sabotage a deal that could net her hundreds of billions if played right? Hell, even I wouldn't pull that shit.
"Miss Im Sua, your claim that you're not a spy is just your word. Repeating it doesn't make it more credible. You need to provide evidence to convince us."
"H-how do I prove I didn't do it...!"
"Well? As a former police team leader, shouldn't you know better than anyone?"
If she hadn't betrayed me, she wouldn't even know about it. She probably didn't even realize Seo Eun-mi was actually Ha Eun-young. Pressuring someone who knew nothing would just be pointless bullying. So I needed to rein in Baekseol...
...Maybe let it play out a bit longer?
Sua looked kinda hot all flustered like this—something different about her. Hang in there a little for my cock's sake...
Besides, even without that, we had to go through proper procedures. I was dead certain Sua was clean, but the others weren't. It was a fact she'd co-authored that program with Ha Eun-young, so we needed a transparent process everyone could buy into. Skipping it and just declaring on my say-so, "Nah, she's good," would undermine my authority and give Sua bad habits.
"You said you built that program with Miss Ha Eun-young. Are you seriously telling me you had no idea it included code to transmit encrypted data?"
"I d-didn't know!!"
"Why not? Isn't that a bit incompetent?"
"Ugh..."
Aw, poor Sua. Caught in a no-win. Know about it? Accomplice. Clueless? Inept. Harsh but fair—she had to feel hard done by.
"Ha Eun-young used a PGP hybrid for her reports. She encrypted the data with a symmetric key, then encrypted that key with the recipient's public key. A proper detection algorithm would've spotted that funky data structure easy. So why didn't you?"
"What are you even saying...? You expect me to catch someone deliberately hiding shit with PGP? Split that weird structure across functions, and it takes days to find—if exhaustive search even works. Who the hell has time? You want me staring at code every damn day?"
"You should've written an algorithm or tool to detect it."
"You call that feasible?! There's no way..."
"I did."
"...How the hell did you even decrypt it, Miss Baekseol? Where'd you get the key? This a trap??? Some kinda test???"
"I borrowed it from Prestige's quantum computing API—"
The two hurled tech jargon back and forth like I wasn't even there. I couldn't follow a single word—my dick was starting to go soft from boredom.
"Alright, enough."
"M-my lord!!"
Sua crawled toward me on her knees. Her jaw got in the way, so she couldn't quite reach.
"I really didn't know. I was just busting my ass on the land acquisition and wiping evidence. Working with Seo Eun-mi—no, that bitch Ha Eun-young—was because she was skilled enough to crack the prosecutor's server. She's a genius asset! I swear! Believe me, my lord!!"
Her face twisted like she was about to burst into tears, hands clasped in desperate plea. Fucking adorable and hot as hell.
Damn, even I think my personality's a trip...
"Sua, Sua... Of course I believe you."
"My lord...!!"
"You've got no reason to betray me."
"R-right! I-I have no reason to betray you."
"But you know how it works when you're managing people... Me believing you isn't enough. Your subordinates have to buy it too."
"Ah..."
I stood and approached her. Up close, she knelt even more submissively, wringing her clasped hands.
"My lord, please... Please believe me. I really, really didn't know, my loooord..."
Her face hovered inches from my crotch, neck craned at a 90-degree angle as she begged up at me. I stroked her hair tenderly as tears welled in her eyes.
Smooth.
"Don't worry too much. You know my style, right?"
I rubbed my tented crotch against her face.
"I don't kill beauties. And you're gorgeous, Sua."
"Ahh... My looord... Please..."
"Now, prove your worth another way?"
I unzipped with my other hand and pulled out my cock. The heavy, throbbing beast thwacked across her face.
"Ah... Ahh..."
"Suck."
Thick and slick.
"Nngh."
Trembling through sobs, Sua parted her quivering jaw and took me in.
"That's it."
If I were really grilling her, this wouldn't turn me on—it'd piss me off. But she wasn't thinking straight, cornered mentally.
Slurp, smack. Sua sucked me off desperately, aggressively. Her head bobbed furiously, eyes pleading up at me—driving me fucking insane with lust.
"Hoo, you suck like a pro now, Sua. Huh? When'd you get this good?"
Her desperation fueled it. Every trick in the book, real or improvised, assaulting my cock. Each pull-back with a wet pop nearly buckled my knees.
I held back the dizzying pleasure and addressed Baekseol.
"Seol-ah, what do you think? Could our pretty Sua have betrayed me?"
Sua glanced nervously and sucked harder. Baekseol replied, "...I cannot rule out the possibility."
"!!"
"That's her take. Need stronger proof, huh?"
Tears brimming, Sua shot Baekseol a glare before losing herself in a frenzy of bobs. Her raw need hit me—ejaculation surged fast.
No holding back. I gripped her head and blasted down her throat.
Gulp, gulp. I felt her swallow.
"Pwah...!"
After a long hold, I pulled out. Sua hacked and coughed—but true to form as my loyal fuckhouse, not a drop spilled.
I savored her drained, exhausted state before returning to my seat. She slumped pitifully, dazed and evoking pity.
Smooth. Sat down.
"I believe in you, Sua."
"!!"
Her head snapped up.
"Never even crossed my mind you'd betray me."
"My looord...!!"
Face lit with emotion. I continued.
"I don't hand out trust easy, but once I do, it's ironclad. I trust you, Im Sua."
"Aah...!"
"But like I said, my trust alone ain't enough. You get it—the situation's plenty suspicious."
"Y-yes...!"
"Seol's just doing her job by my side."
"...Understood."
To Baekseol: "Sua's trustworthy. I vouch for her."
"My lord..."
"No reason or situation for it. Nail the land deal, and she scores billions in bonuses. Betraying now makes zero sense."
"True."
Sua had admitted the suspicion was warranted; now Baekseol conceded she lacked motive.
"Once Ha Eun-young's exposed as a spy, Secretary Chief Im Sua—who co-authored the program—looks bad. How do we handle it?"
"If we frame it as Sua detecting Ha Eun-young's actions and exposing her... it minimizes controversy."
That's what I thought too.
"Secretary Chief Im Sua."
She wiped her tears hastily. "Y-yes, my lord."
"We have the report, but it's not airtight for a big reveal. Only I and Baekseol know her real name's Ha Eun-young. The report alone? People'll just scratch their heads. No link from initials or 'Seo Eun-mi.' Can you deliver airtight proof everyone buys?"
She nodded vigorously. "Yes! I'll... I'll definitely catch Ha Eun-young...!"
"Good. And this stays between you, me, and Seol."
"Yes...!"
Case closed, more or less. Relieved by my trust, Sua's legs gave out—she trembled weakly.
I spread my legs toward her. "Come here."
+++
Mentally drained, Sua came faster than usual. Her sleeping face was cute yet forlorn.
"Guess I need to study up."
"Pardon?"
Baekseol, idly stroking my ear while jerking me softly, looked up.
"Couldn't follow a word of your tech talk earlier."
"Ah."
"How can I judge who's right when I don't even get the basics?"
Stats settle betrayal easy, but for business clashes or org growth? No stat readout for that. I needed to at least grasp their arguments to keep up—and that convo? Total zero.
This'd only get harder...
"...My lord."
"?"
"I-if... if I explain it to you by my side..."
"..."
"W-wouldn't that work...?"
Baekseol murmured shyly, blushing and dropping her gaze. Fiercely adorable.
Pfft.
"Yeah. You teach me. You'll always have my back."
"My lord...!"
Cute as hell.
