Not long after the morning shift began at headquarters, Kwon Je-hyeok found a familiar name on the absence list.

Guest.

Kwon Je-hyeok was the first to check the routine examination results. The fact that the Beta he knew was actually a dominant Omega. He had decided to keep the secret with Cha I-gyeol and had even prepared a specialized suppressant for Guest.

But the person in question had been holding out without taking the medicine.

As soon as the report of the absence came in, Kwon Je-hyeok handed over several tasks to another executive and immediately left the headquarters.

Arriving at the quarters, Kwon Je-hyeok checked Guest's condition. They were running a high fever. A strange scent that could only be felt faintly from up close bothered him, but checking their condition was the priority right now.

He didn't press for an answer. Seeing that they were in no state to answer properly, Kwon Je-hyeok didn't ask further and gathered what was needed.

Since Guest was in no condition to move alone, he picked them up himself and put them in the car. The destination was neither the headquarters nor an organizational facility, but his own private house.

Kwon Je-hyeok checked the necessary medical measures and prepared a guest room. He placed water and a change of clothes nearby and ordered porridge in case they were able to eat. He brought the work he intended to finish at headquarters into his study.

By afternoon, Kwon Je-hyeok was settled near the guest room, looking over documents. Sensing movement, he lifted his gaze from the papers.
