Chapter 02: Emilia
"Sir!! There's an emergency!!!"
A man with round glasses, looking somewhat clueless, burst through the large doors and entered the room. The woman, who had been lying down lazily, jumped up in surprise.
"Whoa! You scared me! Didn't I tell you to knock and wait for permission before coming in?"
"Ah! Th-that is…!"
Flustered by her sharp reprimand, the man awkwardly retreated and went back outside. Despite the door already being open, he knocked again—
"Agh, this idiot."
The woman thought to herself, ‘When is he ever going to stop being so stupid?’ as she got to her feet. The man, now embarrassed, came back inside hesitantly.
"What's the issue?"
"Well, uh… it's…"
"…"
As she gave him a look that suggested she was about to sigh any moment, the man adjusted his glasses and took a deep breath.
"Goryeo Prestige has requested the list of entertainers and trainees associated with our company. They specifically asked for young women only."
"What? Goryeo Prestige?"
"It's the holding company of the Goryeo Group."
"I know that much!"
Shouting, the woman stood up and began pacing around her desk.
"Why would the Goryeo Group want something from a small company like ours? We haven't done anything wrong, have we?"
"Well, ma'am, we're not just any small company—we're an officially recognized quality company by Incheon City. In fact, we're classified as a strong small enterprise."
"…"
She was about to retort but held back. He was like this even back in school. It's not like saying something now would change him… unfortunately.
"Goryeo Prestige is the company where the owner family's cronies are stationed. There's no way they'd suddenly get interested in our girls for no reason. Find out who's behind this. We need to know what they want before we can respond properly."
"Ah, I already looked into that."
"Really?"
The man handed over the documents he'd prepared.
"The person who made the request is a woman named Seo Eun-young. As of today, she became Go Mu-yeol's secretary."
"Ah…"
The woman let out a sigh as she took the documents.
Go Mu-yeol.
While he wasn’t well-known to the general public, within the entertainment industry, there was no Goryeo Group heir more infamous than him.
This guy, addicted to women and drugs, would send direct messages to any female celebrity he liked, or have his people contact their agencies to make advances. If he were just some crazy person, he could be ignored, but being part of the Goryeo Group’s owner family made things complicated.
"The inevitable has come… Ha…"
She ruffled her hair in frustration.
Of course, Go Mu-yeol had also been sending constant DMs to the female entertainers of Rainbow Miracle, the agency she ran. He hadn’t directly contacted the agency before now, but that ended today. This day had finally come.
"What should we do?"
"…"
What indeed?
"Did they only ask for a list? No other demands?"
"They asked for photos to be included."
"Not that. Were there any other demands?"
"Oh! They asked for the list to be categorized by group—"
"Ugh. You idiot."
"N-no, no other demands! Just the list."
"Ha… If it's that pervert, I'm sure he's targeting specific girls. That must be his goal."
It's no secret that rich people indulge in women from the entertainment industry, but Go Mu-yeol took it to another level. His behavior was so notorious that everyone in the industry knew about him.
If he had directly contacted the agency, it was undoubtedly for that kind of purpose.
"First, give him the list as requested. Then contact all the girls and see if any of them have recently received DMs from him."
"Yes, understood!"
Two hours later.
"Sir!! There's an emergency!!!"
The man once again barged into the CEO's office, practically knocking down the door.
"…"
The woman let out a familiar sigh. It was exhausting to even speak at this point.
"Did you find out?"
"Yes. None of the girls have been contacted recently. But that’s not the important part—"
"He hasn't DMed anyone recently? So he's going to choose from the list? Does he think this place is his personal brothel?"
"Th-that's not the important part, ma'am!!"
"Then what is?"
"H-he's coming here. Go Mu-yeol said he's coming here himself!"
"What?!"
The woman shot to her feet.
Skyscrapers blurred past the window.
As expected from a megacity housing 30 million people, Incheon was packed with high-rises wherever you went. The most extravagant areas were Songdo Future City, where the upper class resided, and the recently developed Ganghwa Economic Zone.
The entire island had been redeveloped into a bustling metropolis, rivaling even Hong Kong.
And in the center of the Ganghwa Economic Zone was my destination.
"Hmm… is it really that impressive?"
Im Soo-ah, who was driving, glanced at a floating photo in the air and tilted her head.
"Master, no matter how I look at it, they just seem ordinary. Are these people really that special?"
"They are."
In two years, these girls will become the world's top idols. Sure, they might not look like much now, but that’s just because they haven’t fully matured.
"Heh… Well, I respect your taste, Master."
"You respecting me doesn’t change anything."
With that, I lightly kicked her seat, signaling her to focus on driving. She quickly responded with, "Ah, s-sorry," and shut her mouth.
She talks too much sometimes.
Then again, having someone next to me who doesn’t say a word, like a spy from the National Intelligence Service, would be its own kind of problem.
Rainbow Miracle’s underground parking lot.
"We've arrived, sir."
As soon as work became more formal, Soo-ah flawlessly corrected her address for me and opened the car door. When I stepped out, a few people from Rainbow Miracle were already waiting for us.
There were big men in black suits and a tall, slender woman.
"…Who is that?"
The woman standing in the middle was an attention-grabbing beauty.
Not that I recognized her. She was new to me, and even searching my memory of the game didn’t bring up any character with her appearance.
She walked toward us.
Her sales smile was plastered on, but her expression wasn’t particularly welcoming. It felt like she was looking down on me, judging me from some superior place.
"If you're wondering who I am, it's only fair to introduce myself."
Her sultry voice answered as she approached and handed me a business card.
"I'm Kang Emilia, the CEO of Rainbow Miracle. You can call me Emilia."
"Emilia?"
A CEO? Her?
"Yes. Why don't we head inside? This isn't exactly a conversation we should be having outside."
"Ah, sure. Let’s go."
So, this woman was running a talent agency? Maybe she was an actress who transitioned into the business?
Either way, it was shocking.
‘This must be the game world logic at play. Gorgeous women everywhere.’
Even without saying it, the average appearance of the people walking around was noticeably better than in the world I came from. It felt like everyone here was either stunning or handsome.
And then, there were the named NPC-like characters such as Im Soo-ah, Seo Eun-mi, and Kang Emilia, who stood out even more with their higher-tier looks.
‘What a blessed world this is.’
There wouldn’t be a single day where I didn’t find myself aroused.
"Welcome to Rainbow Miracle!"
"Ah, w-welcome…"
When we arrived at the 10th floor, where the CEO’s office was located, about ten women greeted us with bright smiles. There was also some clueless-looking guy among them, but he wasn’t important.
"Ooh."
I let out an involuntary exclamation.
All of them were beautiful, dressed in somewhat revealing outfits, each displaying their individual charm. Wherever I looked, my eyes landed on soft, curvy flesh.
"Since you were coming personally, we hurriedly called in the girls who were available. Unfortunately, we couldn’t bring all of them."
With a signal from Emilia, two girls clung to each of my sides, while the rest crowded around me. One even snuck her chest against my arm, the soft sensation making my lower body tighten.
And that sweet scent… This kind of body contact made it hard to resist.
Emilia checked her watch.
"So, would you like to rest for a bit before we get to the main topic? I’m fine with it if you are."
"Rest?"
This was an invitation.
From Go Mu-yeol’s memories, every agency had a reception team like this. These girls, who hadn’t quite debuted or were in a gray area, would often be sent to cater to people like me.
"Sir, I can handle the business while you take a break. You’ve had a long journey."
Soo-ah chimed in, always quick to pick up on the situation.
"Yes, sir, take a break and chat with us for a bit."
"Our new song just came out! You’ll be the first to hear it!"
With more than ten women crowding around me, it wasn’t long before I was fully aroused.
‘…Well, the trainees aren’t going anywhere. Maybe I’ll rest for a bit?’
