"What...?"
"About being insolent. An insolent person is doing insolent things, why are you so surprised?"
"Y-you impudent..."
Dominic, who had been flustered, seemed to have barely regained his composure.
"Don't act so high and mighty. There's no one left to take your side now. Do you think anything will change by demonstrating to me like this?"
"Did you say demonstration?"
"Yes, stop demonstrating."
"Would I bother with mere demonstrations?"
Hugo elegantly lifted his long legs and slowly placed them one by one on Dominic's office desk.
Dominic could only gape at Hugo's shoes, unable to continue speaking.
Hugo leaned back in the chair, sinking deep into it, and said,
"You use a nice chair."
Dominic was at a loss for words, just blankly watching Hugo's actions.
"Is this what you got in return for playing gatekeeper for 'Cheonsu-song'?"
Unlike the flustered Dominic, Winter was finally feeling relieved as she looked at Hugo's relaxed face.
