CEO Jacob Oh walked briskly through the quiet hallway of an expensive traditional restaurant on the other side of the city, away from the company. Back in the day, he also came to this kind of place to meet a client or feel good about his status, but...how long had it been since his money was used for anything but gambling?
A little voice in the corner of his mind told him that it was enough; that he should stop wasting money. But...but what if he won big next time? How long would it take for him to go back to his old lifestyle if he earned money normally? Years? Decades? He could turn everything back with just one big win--or several, like Mr. Ahn from the corner who managed to buy a luxury condo overlooking the Han River.
Besides...it wasn't like what he did before--working for Joseph's scheme--was any good either; always making him feel like a lackey. Wasn't it normal for an endeavor to see several failures first before reaching success? It was normal while building a company.
