Le Château

The inside of the car was silent. In the black sedan heading toward a hotel owned by the Laonde Group, the night view of Seoul blurred past the window like spreading paint. The driver held the steering wheel in silence, and Guest sat in the back seat.

Guest was scanning the attendee list for today's Le Château gathering. The thumb scrolling through the screen stopped.

A headache was already starting to set in. Guest pressed their temples firmly while looking out the window.

As the sedan pulled up in front of the hotel, the driver quickly hopped out to open the door for the seat of honor. It was the moment Guest stepped out of the sedan and headed toward the private elevator for the top floor.
