Chapter 25
Mr. Choi was completely unaware that his servile behavior had given birth to such snide remarks on Jun's part. Trying hard to be a good and proper host, he ordered the servant he always kept around to bring tea and some sweets. The merchant also made sure to give a look of warning to the poor servant, hinting at what the consequences would be if he didn't serve the guests properly.
This attentive behavior wasn't strange, nor complicated to understand. After all, Mr. Choi simply wanted to impress this young money pouch that had appeared on his doorsteps in such an unexpected manner, and for that he had to go all out in terms of hospitality.
After everything was placed neatly on the table, Mr. Choi took a deep breath and dived right into the matter that interested him the most.
