Vincenzo's POV

"Hey there!" Mrs. Chae Young entered the office with a bright smile, finding Vic deep in thought on the couch with papers scattered around her after hours of contemplation.

"Hey," I greeted, noticing Mr. Hong briefly glancing at his daughter before returning to his work. "What brings you here?" He inquired without looking up.

"I think I left my wallet here," she said nervously. "I just finished cleaning, and I didn't come across any wallet," Mr. Yoon byung hee, or Mr. Yoon for short, replied.

I caught Mrs. Chae Young shooting him a look, but I just brushed it off. "I'm positive I left it around here somewhere," she remarked, taking a seat next to Vic on the couch. I couldn't help but wonder what was on her mind.

"I'm pretty certain you didn't—" Mr. Yoon began, only to be silenced by a fierce glare from Mrs. Chae Young that made him stop abruptly.

I smirked, intriguing... hold on, what?

We heard Vic sigh, and I glanced at her, concerned as she seemed lost in thought. She got up and headed to the bookshelf.

"What are you looking for, Vic?" I inquired, standing up and approaching her. "Do you have any info about this place, like its history? Anything?" She asked while returning one of the books to its spot, letting out another sigh.

I comfortingly patted her back, causing her to look at me, her eyes furrowed. "I have a bad feeling," she stated, crossing her arms to her chest.

"Why? What's going on?" I inquired, placing both of my hands on her shoulders. "I believe Babel is planning something related to Geumga Plaza," she responded.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Hong inquired as he stood up. Yes, this time we were conversing in Korean.

"I'm not sure, but I will uncover it, soon," she declared with determination. "What do you need us to do?" Mr. Hong asked as he joined us.

"I need all the info on this plaza. I'll dig into it today and have it ready for you by tomorrow morning," she stated, looking at Mr. Hong, who nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Chae Young observed the scene, appearing both puzzled and resolute, though the reason was unclear.

Mr. Hong nodded. "Provide her with everything she requires," he instructed Mr. Yoon, who promptly nodded and handed Vic numerous papers and a large history book.

Vic bowed quickly, accepting the papers from Mr. Yoon, and settled on the couch, delving into the documents in silence.

I sighed as I grabbed my bag, "I'll be out for a bit. Come back home once you're done, okay?" I informed my sis, to which she nodded without meeting my gaze.

"I'm coming along too!" Mrs. Chae Young exclaimed hastily, trailing after me. "Oh, look at her," Mr. Hong commented, sweat dropping as he observed his daughter.

I've got a ton to do today, hopefully Mrs. Chae Young won't bombard me with questions...

"Let's head to her car first," one person remarked.

"No, not today! Let's do it tomorrow after she goes to work," the other person insisted.

"Alright, alright," the first person conceded as they departed.

Hanseo's POV

"This is the two necklaces you ordered, Mr. Hanseo," the woman approached me, handing over the box filled with the two necklaces I desired. I bowed slightly.
