Min-Ho stared blankly at this woman before just rolling his eyes. He already knew that ma'am. Isn't that why she asked him to come to Acapulc*? Or that she asked her men to leave them alone.
He frowned, finding it boring before hearing Titania snicker.
"Not as you mean it, but otherwise." She spoke before asking the man next to her for a glass of whiskey. "Titania never mixes business with pleasure and Min-Ho, you are far too young to please Titania." She spoke with an arrogant smile which slightly angered Min-Ho.
The latter raised an eyebrow remembering all those old goats he had to sleep with.
That's not what they would say.
He didn't take pleasure but he can be sure to be a good shot for all the women who are lucky enough to share his bed.
At least he has excellent memories of the day before because not only had he delighted this magnificent stranger, but he had also had fun for the very first time in his life.
He says it like that but he's not ready to argue with her about it or even convince her.
He prefers to keep the wonderful memory of last night intact.
He came back to the present moment staring blankly at Titania.
She smiled before continuing.
"You see, Titania heard about your prowess and was seduced." She took a sip of whiskey before continuing. "Titania is a greedy person, Titania likes to collect gems and treasures." She giggled, then stroked the rim of her glass.
"Let's say, Titania is a modern-day pirate. When something is valuable, she absolutely must own it. The reason why Titania reiterates it Min-Ho, Titania wants you to come to work for her. A man of your caliber deserves the best and Titania is the best. Titania's organization will be the most powerful in a few years, they have the power and the ambition for that, so join them." She finished her speech when Min-Ho was already tired of her way of talking about herself in the third person. What is she? A kid? He decided to ignore this childish behavior before focusing on the woman's words.
"It's risky to make such a proposal to me," smiled Min-Ho, one of the few he does in this kind of situation. He sat down more comfortably on the sofa across from Titania crossing his arms arrogantly. "Aren't you afraid I'll take it to my boss?" He added, raising an eyebrow. This woman is very intriguing, she places her cards unconsciously, or is it he who underestimated her?
She's right about one fact, even though he's been loyal to the Clan since a young age, he's not ready to act blindly for it. If the situation requires it, or he finds it useless, there is information that he will prefer to keep to himself. He looked up at the woman, waiting for her answer, which didn't take long.
"As great as Titania acknowledges your loyalty to this man is, so sure she knows how you evaluate situations. Titania has a habit of appraising merchandise before she buys it and you Min-Ho, you're someone who doesn't act out of simple fidelity. You certainly obey, but you are very thoughtful. This is the reason why you were asked by Titania. So what do you say?" The woman answered honestly, summing up Min-Ho's thoughts from earlier exactly.
But then he remained contemplative of her offer. He only knows Hwasan, this woman's offer is so sudden and in his opinion, fishy.
He is not the type to trust the firstcomer even if the person gives him the appearance of being direct and knowing what they want. Exactly like this woman who has only acted arrogant and smug since the start of their discussion.
He is not a fickle man and prefers to understand the situation, why such a request? It's not just because he's the ace-jack of his Clan. No, this woman with her sharp look and her vixen's smile must be hiding something else.
"There's something else you're not telling me," Min-Ho concluded, causing Titania to burst out laughing.
" You're a wise one! Ah, you're right, there's a lot more but of course, you don't need to know that, at least not until you've given a pleasing answer to Titania." The woman stopped smiling at Min-Ho's annoyed expression. "Besides, Titania imagines it's far too sudden for you. Titania isn't in a hurry so will give you time to think about it. But don't take too long, Titania doesn't like to wait, even for the purest diamond that exists. But Titania also knows, as you say so well at home, that a good saber is the one that takes the longest time to be polished."
Titania stood up, going to stroke a saber hanging on the wall.
"Titania is going to give you her number," she announced before continuing, "but know that she usually doesn't but for you, she's going to make an exception. When you're ready to join" The Familia", or if you need Titania for anything, call." She finished with a soft smile, increasing Min-Ho's doubts.
"Why so much generosity?" He asked, finding this woman's actions far too strange. Titania just smiled.
"Let's say Titania doesn't like being indebted to others." She replied enigmatically before resuming a distant attitude. At these gestures, Min-Ho understood that she is no longer inclined to an inquisition and decided to take his leave as well.
Since the reason why he came to this country was not carried out as planned, things taking a rather strange turn, he prefers to return home. Anyway, he knows that the clan leader has already started to gray his hair.
"Fine, I'll go." He announced already on his feet as Titania extended her hand to him for a handshake.
"Remember my dear Min-Ho, call Titania." She spoke and Min-Ho just shook her outstretched hand before walking out of the room.
Left alone, Titania sighed before feeling her trusted man put a hand on her shoulder. She put her hand over his and smiled.
"Thank you, Vicente, for your support. Titania owed him well after what happened" she spoke as Vicente just nodded.
"Titania is a nice girl". He patted her head like a child before looking at the door Min-Ho had just exited through. This kid had to come back to them, it's imperative.
His place is by their side.
