“Moon Kyung-sik did that?”

 

I was shocked. Was this what he meant by not letting go that day? I clicked my tongue at this classic yet simple method that was so easy to get caught.

 

“Why?”

 

“That… I don’t know that. He didn’t give me the reason to steal the medicine.”

 

“Really?”

 

“I’m telling you, this is not a lie, I swear.”

 

Mrs. Kim’s words seemed to be true. It was hard to believe, even if it was true.

 

“Do you know what that medicine is?”

 

“I thought it was just a good medicine for you to take. I heard you were weak…”

 

This was a relief. The inhibitor that Secretary Choi gave me was a product whose original packaging had all been replaced with a different one, just in case. Just by looking at it, you could never tell that this was a recessive omega inhibitor. Absolutely, unless they read the drug use manual that Secretary Choi separately delivered to me.

 

‘If only he had known that the medicine he stole was the suppressant I was taking…..Maybe they didn’t have to hand it over to Moon Kyung-sik.’

 

It would have been better if you had asked for money directly from me, considering that money was the purpose, but it was a pity.

 

“Mr. Kim.”

 

“……Yes.”

 

“I’m sorry to you, but I think I’ll have to detain her. It’s something we can’t just ignore.”

 

“I understand…”

 

Mr. Kim bowed his head with a mixed expression. The other people also became solemn.

 

When Secretary Choi hired those people, there was a provision that they would have to pay for any problems or risks caused by them.

 

‘I don’t know if that will be the judgment of the law or if it will be handled by the people from Seong Eun Group.’

 

That was the only thing that could be seen in the fine employment contract. Even though Mrs. Kim tried to get out of the contract in such a way that she was not an employee, she could not avoid punishment as she was the wife of the employee.

 

That was the protective layer that Secretary Choi prevented in case I was found to be a recessive omega.

 

I beckoned my employees.

 

“Detain her so she can’t run away. Secretary Choi will come tomorrow and I’ll hand her over to him.”

 

“I, I don’t want to! Honey! Help me! You’re my husband…”

 

Mr. Kim earnestly asked me, looking like he had just aged for a decade.

 

“I’m ashamed of her, young master, but since she’s family, can I detain her instead?”

 

“Honey!”

 

“Do so. Instead, be sure to accompany others.”

 

“……I see. Thank you.”

 

“This is ridiculous! Let go! Let go! I wouldn’t have done this if I had known you weren’t abandoned…!”

 

Mr. Kim and the kitchen ladies held on to the struggling Mrs. Kim’s arms and dragged her out. The expressions on their seemingly good-natured faces were sharp, as if they were cut-out pieces of glass.

 

The remaining people bowed at 90-degree angles to me and apologized.

 

“I’m sorry, young master. It’s our fault. I never thought she would make this mistake….”

 

“I’m ashamed to face Secretary Choi. Also, the chairman.”

 

“……No, it’s okay.”

 

It wasn’t fine. As time went on, I felt nauseous and had the illusion that the heat was eating away at the surface of my skin.

 

‘If there is no inhibitor…at this rate…’

 

I would be 100% caught. I felt nauseous at the thought of being swept away by the desires that surged like an animal rather than a human. The heat cycle was just around the corner. My nerves became so sensitive that I could feel every single breath of air touching a single piece of hair.

 

‘‘I only need one inhibitor.’’

 

While I was distracted, I kept touching my cell phone in my pocket. The information about Moon Kyung-sik reported to Secretary Choi was stored intact on my cell phone.

 

‘I had it just in case, but in the current situation…’

 

Of course, Moon Kyung-sik’s phone number was also included in the details obtained through a follow-up investigation. I wanted to shout at Moon Kyung-sik by pressing the elven digits of the phone number. 

 

Give me the medicine that was stolen right away! And who are you?!

 

“First of all, we’ve got the culprit, so everyone can go back to normal. I trust you to keep a close watch on her .”

 

“…are you sure you’re okay with that?”

 

“I don’t want to cause a disturbance, and I’m very tired from this, so I don’t want you to ask me any more.”

 

“…..I understand, young master. I will do as you are told.”

 

Everyone retreated with a downcast look on their faces. I guess I was harsh because I was sensitive because of the heat cycle that was just around the corner.

 

‘There’s no time to care.’

 

I went into my room under the pretext of wanting to be alone and locked the door tightly. I was very lucky that this house was soundproof.

 

I took out my cell phone and called Secretary Choi without hesitation.

 

“Secretary Choi.”

 

[Yes, young master.]

 

Secretary Choi answered seriously, whether he was on high alert for my right-handed voice.

 

“I caught the culprit who stole the medicine. She was Mr. Kim’s wife.”

 

[Did Mr. Kim know?]

 

“No, he didn’t know. Mr. Kim was not involved, but there was another person behind it.”

 

[Who is it?]

 

“Moon Kyung-sik. You know, the person I told you to do the background check.”

 

[Why would he do that…?]

 

“I don’t know. I knew he hated me, but I never thought he’d plan something like this.”

 

I was talking on the phone when the pain started to creep up, like boiling lava pouring into my stomach. Hell, is it because I kept taking inhibitors and blocking the heat cycle? The intense heat that I experienced upon my transmigration seemed to be merely a taste.

 

[The inhibitor… I guess you didn’t find it.]

 

“Yes, I haven’t found any. The culprit said, He’s already handed it over to Moon Kyung-sik.”

 

The heat is sizzling and it’s coming over me. I feel like soybean paste stew in an earthen pot. Should I be thankful that I’m still conscious?

 

[Is he trying to intimidate the young master with the medicine? No, how did he think about stealing the medicine? We’ve never revealed what the real trait of the young master is…]

 

Secretary Choi hesitated and noticed that he was careful about the use of words. Moon Kyung-sik is an alpha and I am a recessive omega anyway. I don’t know how Moon Kyung-sik figured out I was a recessive omega, but it was not pleasant to hear speculation that he was trying to do something with the information.

 

‘He’s half right.’

 

“I know what you’re worried about. Secretary Choi, I don’t think so. Moon Kyung-sik is not interested in my body.”

 

Rather than that…

 

“They want to get rid of the ‘person’ itself.”

 

[What? What do you mean…]

 

“It’s hard to explain, so keep that in mind. And bring the medicine as soon as possible tomorrow. Ugh….. Even if it means paying a fine, I will believe in your promise to come.”

 

[Young master? Young master!]

 

Secretary Choi’s voice stopped. After hanging up the phone, I collapsed to the floor in a soaring fever and gasped.

 

“Ugh…Eurk…Ugh….”

 

“Woof! Woof..!!!!”

 

The hot fire was eating me into a wave. As it became difficult to breathe, only the sound of gasping increased. Next to me, general spinned around me, not knowing what to do.

 

“Damn it.”

 

“Whines.”

 

“I’m sorry for cursing, General. Dad… Dad’s sick now.”

 

Damn it, the nightmare from the first day of transmigration was repeated exactly the same way. I felt the area that was difficult to speak gradually become wet. A sense of helplessness, along with shame, shook me.

 

‘If you sit down here, you’ll be really screwed.’

 

The pain was tolerable because I was used to it. I never expected that the experience of barely living in a hospital would be used at a time like this.

 

I raised my arms and smelled if my body smelled anything. I only smelled the smell of sweat. It was a relief. I forced myself to wake up my body that I wanted to break down, and the fever that I would eat out of my stomach was roughly resolved with painkillers. I called in my employees and ordered them to do so.

 

“What’s the matter, young man? Where are you sick…?”

 

I tried to smile so that my facial muscles didn’t look stiff, but it seemed useless. I almost collapsed once in front of the expressions of the employees who were worried; I barely managed to open my mouth.

 

“I’m going to give the five alphas who are working outside a vacation right now, so tell them to go.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Those people are so unenthusiastic that I finally decided to kick them out and tell them to go.”

 

‘I should’ve done this a long time ago.’

 

I shouldn’t have put those gongs and the original shou in my house to squeeze out the labor force. Fuck, that crazy bastard with rolled-up eyes is going to do me a disservice and be damned.

 

‘Ah… I feel like my mind is getting more and more twisted.’

 

I felt the flow of thoughts going back and forth in the fever, like I did when I had a bad cold. It shouldn’t have been any later. I had to drive the alphas out quickly somehow.

 

‘I need to be home alone. Beta employees may not care, but alphas will smell the pheromones released during the heat cycle and sense my true nature.’

 

I couldn’t even go outside. Even if I went to the hotel, closed the door, and went mad and suffered, it was more dangerous for someone to smell the pheromone and recognize me. So the only option was to remain home alone.

 

“It’s okay no matter what…… Let those people go for just one day. I’ll rest in my room. No one should come into my room. Secretary Choi will be here tomorrow. I will only accept him and no one else.”

 

The employees asked me for further explanation, but I ignored them. I didn’t forget to hand over my money and checks because I was afraid that the alphas would come home because they didn’t have their wallets.

 

“Don’t let them into the house by any means.”

 

It was almost the limit. I went into my room, dragging my weak legs as if I were being chased. I took a strong sleeping pill, lay in bed, and hoped that I wouldn’t feel anything.
