Genius Manager Who Hears Voices - Chapter 72

Episode 72

Heeseong’s hands reflexively covered his ears.

At that moment, a tremendous decibel sound that seemed to rupture my eardrums kept hitting my ears.

But no one on site is reacting.

That is, this was a sound that only Heesung could hear.

[Bang! Bang bang!]

Meanwhile, the gunfire continued, and Heeseong couldn’t help but have doubts.

Even though the United States is a country where gun ownership is legal, is it possible for a gunfight of this scale to occur?

It wasn’t just one or two shots, it was already more than ten.

Besides, looking at the simultaneous events, it doesn’t seem like one person is shooting indiscriminately.

I had no idea why I suddenly heard this sound, or when or how the situation unfolded.

But then, it was then.

[Hayden! Hayden!]

[Ugh… … Ugh.]

[Isn’t there anyone there?! Please save me! Someone is dying! Help me! Help me!]

[Karen… … My heart… … .]

[No, no… … Don’t say anything, Hayden. Everything will be okay. It will be okay soon.]

[It’s so hot… … like there’s a bullet in my heart… … .]

[No, no. Don’t say anything and stay still. I’ll be here until the people come, Hayden… … .]

[Karen… … I’m sorry.]

[Hayden!]

The concentrated sound dispersed in an instant along with the woman’s scream.

And in his field of vision, he saw Hayden, Karen, and Han Jeong-woo smiling at him.

“Hyung! Why don’t you go to my waiting room and have a cup of coffee? There’s still a lot of time left until filming, so let’s talk.”

“waiting room?”

With that, Hayden pointed to the large white vehicle behind him.

It was used as a makeup area and waiting room for the actors.

‘Whatever it is, I guess we’ll have to talk to him first to find out. There’s no way something like this would suddenly appear for no reason.’

Now that I knew Hayden was the main character in the shootout, I felt like I had to listen to whatever he had to say.

I wonder if anyone has a grudge against them, or if there’s anything going on that could be the prelude to a massive gunfight.

If he really dies like he saw in the future, not only is the future of this drama uncertain, but Han Jung-woo’s advancement into the United States is also uncertain.

Heeseong said, nodding his head.

“Okay. Then I’ll ask for ice.”

A few moments later, five people gathered in Hayden’s waiting room.

It was Hayden and Karen, Heeseong and Han Jeongwoo, and Amy.

Their story, which I thought was just a joke, seemed to be very sincere.

“Karen and I are planning an Asia tour soon. Karen will probably go first and I will do it after this drama ends. We are looking for a personal manager to take care of us then.”

“A personal manager? If that’s the case, isn’t there someone who was already in charge of that?”

“Of course. But I heard that he has no knowledge of Korea at all. And even if that weren’t the case, I’m thinking of firing him soon.”

“Fired? Why all of a sudden… … .”

Karen opened her mouth and spoke instead, looking at Hayden who was shaking his head from side to side.

“I guess there are a lot of things that make me feel uneasy. The two of us have been working together for quite some time, so there’s almost nothing he doesn’t know about us. He knows everything about our private lives, our house passwords, our family contact information, and even our card and safe passwords.”

“Is that a problem? If that’s the case, it’s such a natural thing for Korean managers. It’s the artists who teach them and make them do it.”

Heeseong looked at the two people alternately and asked back.

“Whether it’s the house or the safe, weren’t you the ones who taught me the password? If not, then it would be a big problem.”

When I heard this alone, I couldn’t see it as a legitimate reason for dismissal.

Of course, if you want to cut it, you can cut it for whatever reason, but at least these reasons felt absurd.

The manager didn’t steal the password, and he must know it because he gave it to me for personal work when he needed it.

Now, it feels so awkward that I can’t do it.

Hee-seong unconsciously felt antipathy towards this, thinking that this was also the Hollywood style.

Karen shook her head, saying that was not the case.

“The problem is that it doesn’t stop at just knowing. Things have been disappearing from my house little by little lately. Rings, jewelry, even my underwear and T-shirts. The only person who would do something like this is Ravi.”

“Ravi? Is that your manager’s name?”

“That’s right. It’s a well-known fact now, but we are currently living together. We are planning to have an official wedding ceremony after this Asia tour. The only person who can enter the house is Ravi, aside from the two of us.”

“Hmm… … .”

“But the strange thing is that he doesn’t actually take money or anything big. Ravi clearly knows the password to the safe we ​​use in common. He’s actually taken cash out of it several times at our request. But the safe is still intact, at least for now.”

Even if everything else is the same, why on earth did you steal the underwear?

I guess it could be okay if it was a luxury brand T-shirt, but what are you going to do with the underwear you took?

Do you think he has some kind of perverted taste?

Do you think stealing a pair of underwear is more valuable than the wads of cash in the safe?

If that’s the case, then it seems like he shouldn’t just be fired, but sent to jail…

“Was there a fairly large sum of money in the safe? Oh, of course you don’t have to tell me the exact number.”

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s a safe we ​​share. You must know how much money and valuables we make each year. I can’t believe you didn’t touch it even though you knew that and the password.”

If money was clearly the goal, it would have been normal to target that first.

If you don’t know the password, there’s no reason to search around for it in other places if you know it.

So it really was underwear that was the purpose… … .

“Are you mistaken or misunderstanding? What I mean is, it’s not that it was stolen, but that it was lost. Whether it’s underwear, a T-shirt, jewelry, or anything else, these are things that we easily lose, especially inside the house.”

Karen shook her head, saying that couldn’t be true.

“Never, never. I hate things that are uncomfortable, so I never hire a housekeeper. Even if I do, I tell them not to touch my laundry. That means I know best where my underwear is.”

“Hmm, then I guess so.”

“That’s right. There’s only Ravi. And if he gets greedy, he’ll eventually reach for the safe. We’re trying to fire him before something like that happens.”

As he listened, a question came to mind, so Heeseong asked while rubbing his chin.

“Then why don’t you just fire him right away? If he knows all the passwords, you can just change them right away. Why are you still hiring him…?”

“Because I couldn’t find the evidence. It’s only natural that he should be fired, but I can’t just forgive a guy who did such a perverted thing. I’m going to find the evidence and punish him. Finding the underwear he stole is more important to me than the money.”

Well, I guess anyone would do that if they thought someone they were close to stole their soon-to-be wife’s underwear.

That’s not just annoying, it’s downright infuriating.

‘I don’t know where they might sell those underwear.’

“Wasn’t there anything like CCTV in the house? With stars like you two, I’m sure they would have installed it for security purposes.”

The United States is a different landmass from our country.

In our country, most rich people and celebrities live in apartments, but that’s not the case here.

There are a lot of mansions for people like Hayden and Karen, and it’s only natural that they would live in one.

Dozens of rooms, multiple swimming pools, and a piece of land measuring at least several hundred square meters.

Hee-sung thought that living in a place like that, they would have thought about security and naturally, there would be CCTVs installed everywhere.

But the answer I got back was not like that at all.

“As you might think, the security here isn’t that great. Of course, that is, inside the house. That’s because it’s difficult for outsiders to enter this community, and anyone who wants to enter must undergo a thorough security check, so we feel completely safe. If it weren’t for this place, we wouldn’t have signed the contract in the first place.”

“Does that mean they form a village? Are there other houses there besides Hayden and Karen’s?”

“That’s right. So there’s no need to have multiple CCTVs in the house. I’ve never had a single unpleasant incident while living here.”

Amy, who had been listening quietly, looked at Heesung and said.

“Think about it. Do you think the stars here would mind installing CCTV? They don’t really need it in the first place. They already spend more money on security.”

In short, it means that it is safe because the village has strict security measures in place by hiring a security company.

We’re already paying a huge price for it.

Karen opened her mouth again and spoke.

“But now that we’re in a situation where we need to collect evidence, we’re planning on installing CCTVs all over the house, even in places where we might not even know they’re there. Then we’ll know for sure who the culprit is, and why on earth he did such a perverted thing.”

It seemed as if the missing jewels were already out of their sight.

More important than that is why he stole the underwear and what he planned to do with it.

Heeseong asked, nodding his head slowly.

“Then, once you find the evidence, you’ll report it to the police right away? I’ll make you pay for it.”

“No. It can’t end like that.”

It was Hayden, not Karen, who answered that question.

But, immediately after that, Heeseong couldn’t help but have his pupils dilate at his actions.

Because what he was holding in his hand along with the grim answer was the same gun from earlier.

“If that happens, then it would be considered self-defense.”
