"And since when do you listen to what I say? Did you really think I wouldn't know that you kept in contact with them?" The sneer in Ji-Won's voice was almost palpable.
A cough was heard from Seo-Jun's side, but the man refrained from making any further comments. Alas, he had been busted by the big boss, so all he could do was beat a retreat. If he got caught, he might have to forfeit his life.
