Adaptation Complete
"Uh.... Young... master?"
"How many times?"
"Pardon?"
"How many times did you offer up this sexy, slutty body of yours?"
"...."
I deliberately made it sound as crude as possible. How would she react? Would she get pissed? Or deny it, claiming nothing like that ever happened?
It was hard to imagine a beauty like her hadn't traded her body at least once in that rotten police force. And she wasn't some lowly beat cop either. The fact that she'd volunteered to guard me right away suggested it was on orders from the police chief, which probably meant something shady was involved.
"Oh, come on now...."
I figured she'd snap or at least look disgusted since I'd blurted it out without any filter. But her reaction was surprisingly different.
"Young master, what do you take me for? Do I look that stupid to you?"
"?"
What did stupidity have to do with anything?
"Offering yourself up? The most valuable thing has to go for the highest price to make it worthwhile."
She spouted some nonsense like that, then slyly guided my hand on her ass forward. I felt the waistband of her panties inside her taut skirt.
"You think a cop like me would sell her body for some measly promotion? It has to be worth at least... something that changes her life."
"...."
She leaned into me subtly.
"I'm still a virgin."
I'd just heard something utterly ridiculous.
"...You're a virgin?"
"Can I take that skepticism as a compliment on my looks?"
"Hah...."
I was speechless all the way out to the lobby after hearing that bullshit. Im Sua, a virgin? Did that even make sense?
She was drop-dead gorgeous, the kind of woman who made you wonder why the hell she was a cop instead of modeling or something. And a virgin? Her attitude was pretty forward too. She didn't complain when I groped her ass like crazy—in fact, she even pushed it out like she wanted me to get more comfortable with it.
But a virgin?
Well... it could happen. It's a game at its core, after all.
I decided to accept it for now. What else could I do if she claimed she was?
But she's straight-up advertising her virginity... Does that mean she wants me to take it?
I'd already dropped a hint about the drugs we'd found in the basement, so she probably figured she could get something life-changing from me in return.
Then... I'll send Seo Aram off to Goryeo Prestige for secretary training, and have this one fill in as my secretary in the meantime.
She probably wouldn't be super loyal or professional, but since I wasn't planning any big moves right now, she'd do just fine. I could always train her properly later if she proved useful.
Should I take her home tonight?
Just locking eyes with her had me thinking marriage—total loser fantasy shit—but the signals Im Sua was sending made it clear she was down.
Damn. Real sex for once.
After living as a shut-in loser who barely left his room, let alone talked to women, the reality of actual sex being this close was overwhelming. The sex addiction debuff probably wasn't helping either.
Good thing I'm a chaebol scion in all this. No need to worry about optics.
Being in a position where I didn't have to read the room or care about her feelings was a huge perk. A whole different level of leisure. Lucky in every way.
I sat down in the lobby chair and said,
"I'm looking for a secretary right now."
"A secretary? You don't even have a knight."
"Time to go independent. I'm old enough. Gotta fill the secretary spot with my own people."
It was more like punishment for screwing around, but I packaged it to sound legit.
"I'll bring in Seo Aram as my secretary and send her to Goryeo Prestige for training. She's a total civilian, no ties to this world."
"Ah, so that's why you covered her mom's hospital bills."
"Can't have my secretary dealing with bullshit problems."
"...But if you send the secretary you just hired off for training, won't the spot open up again? It's not a one- or two-day thing."
"Gotta hire one more. Someone who can handle shit right away."
I stuck a cigarette in my mouth and chewed on it. Wanted to light up, but hospital rules.
"What you saw earlier, plus a guarantee your life changes for real. Sound good?"
"Pardon?"
Sua tilted her head, then her face lit up like she got it and stood from her seat. She cleared her throat with a hem-hem, smoothed down her hiked-up skirt, bowed at the waist. Her blonde hair cascaded down.
"Just give the order, and I'll serve with absolute loyalty!"
"You know what you'd be doing?"
"I'll do anything you command."
"What about the police?"
"I can report up top and get assigned as your guard on dispatch. Or retire immediately if you want."
"Damn, Team Leader, you're all in. Stay with the police. Makes you more useful that way."
"Yes, young master. Han Kyung-baek speaking."
Seo Aram came down about ten minutes later. Sua waved her over when she spotted us looking around, makeup neatly fixed. She approached with a hint of tension, startled at the sight of Im Sua in uniform next to me, then bowed to me.
"Thank you for earlier. But, um, why did you...?"
"'Cause you're hot and I wanted you."
"...."
Too direct? Her face soured. But better to lay it out upfront—no drama later.
"Plus, you've got skills."
"...Is that all?"
Maybe the creepy vibe made her tone chillier. But she wasn't bolting.
"I'm hiring a secretary. Thought you could do it."
"Secretary?"
"You're Goryeo Group's young master. Name's Ko Mu-yeol. He likes you, Aram."
I hadn't given her a card or anything—no cards on me—but with Im Sua in uniform next to me, she bought it.
"Goryeo Group...! But why's a cop saying this?"
I stood and approached her. She flinched back.
"I'll pay for your mom's treatment."
"!!"
"Secretary pay separate. Deal?"
Her eyes widened huge.
"You know it's hopeless like this, right? Those friends lending you money? All wanna fuck you. And not just one or two. How many you gonna pay back with your body?"
"...Aren't you being too blunt?"
"Not blunt—your situation's fucked. Change without me saying it?"
"...."
Her face hardened, tears welling. No comeback. That broke.
In the '77 storyline start, she's bold as hell, but right now her mental's shattered—one push and she crumbles like tofu.
"Work as my secretary, no more of that. I'm possessive as fuck. I'll chase off the flies and fix your mom."
"...You mean that?"
"Yeah."
"What do you get out of it? Going this far...?"
"You know. Said it the second I saw you."
"...."
She bit her lip, swallowing rage, face twitching before she finally spoke.
"P-promise... you'll take care of my mom to the end...."

On the way home. Im Sua drove, Seo Aram sat rigid beside me. Neon lights blazed through the window as night fell on the cyberpunk sprawl.
I hung up and glanced over. Seo Aram, who'd accepted my offer, still stared down tensely. Even that pitiful look was cute; I zoned out staring until she slyly glanced my way, then whipped forward when our eyes met. My dick throbbed hard.
Wanted to fuck her right there in the car.
...Hold back.
Car sex was doable, but not her first time here. And Seo Aram wasn't ripe(?) yet. Wait till after training, when she's got some loyalty and skills. Then take her.
So for now...
Save it all for Im Sua.
..
We arrived at the Songdo mansion. Way bigger and flashier than the app pics.
Whoa...
Hotel rooms were luxe too, but rented. This was mine. My own place.
Fucking huge.
House was massive, yard too. Small pond, pool, cute garden.
And was it the uniform or her body? Tiny waist against those huge tits—if I hugged her tight, she'd snap.
...
Yeah. House barely registered. Not even the drug crates her team left. Been horny since we pulled up.
I forced my eyes to Seo Aram.
"Pick a room and crash. Up early tomorrow—don't forget. Go."
"Um..."
"What."
"N-nothing. Got it."
She eyed my obvious bulge straining my pants, hesitated, bowed, and headed upstairs.
"Young master, what about me?"
"You,"
I turned back. In that split second, Im Sua had unbuttoned her uniform top, flashing insane cleavage.
"Like this?"
