Sliding a frozen pizza into the oven, Clarity couldn't take her eyes off the cheque on the counter that was equivalent to more than twenty houses in Seoul.
The negotiation had gone smoothly, with Senyu ultimately paying fifty-million for the video footage.
Now back at Bangtan's mansion, Clarity was cooking up a meal for the group while Taehyung and Hoseok headed to the living room. Yoongi had disappeared into his room the moment they entered the house. He was probably going to catch up on sleep, so Clarity would not expect to see him for the next few days.
"You're back!" Excited to see his members, Jungkook throttled down the stairs from the second floor, followed by Seokjin's casual strides.
When the youngest noticed her presence in the room, his steps visibly slowed down. Clarity smiled discreetly as she watched him try to walk in a more composed manner.
"I assume the negotiation went well?" Seokjin said, eyeing the cheque on the counter.
"Where were you?" Clarity asked, "I didn't expect Tae, I mean, sir Kim Taehyung to be there in your place. Actually, why was I not even aware of this negotiation?"
"I told you to take the day off today. You still need to completely recover your injuries," Seokjin calmly responded before taking a look at Clarity's now-frowning face. "And as to where I was..."
The man then continued to answer the former part of her question.
"I was sleeping."
Seokjin's blunt statement echoed throughout the room. Clarity looked at the honest man in front of her with incredulous eyes.
"You were what?"
Before Seokjin could explain, a deeper voice spoke before him.
"We weren't expecting the negotiation to be today either." From behind the group, Namjoon headed down the stairs.
He took off his black-rimmed glasses with one hand and greeted the short-haired girl with a gentle nod before continuing. "Yoongi finished extracting the CCTV footage earlier than originally planned, so we figured it would be more effective to hit Senyu with a threat from behind when they least expected it rather than having them be the ones to initiate a move."
Seeing her continued apprehension, the Strategist added on.
"Seokjin and Jungkook have been working nonstop for the past few days attending conferences with other businesses to pull them onto our side. We figured it was best for someone to go in his place so the opponents do not detect any weaknesses in his fatigue."
