Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha Chapter 144: SENSITIVE NOSE

AFTER Song Sihyuk walked Lim Garam to his Oga father’s room, he imdiately went to the study.

There, he t Jung Han, who was ready to give him a report.

"Did you find anything strange with the household staff mbers?" Song Sihyuk asked, leaning against the chair. "I didn’t sll anything weird earlier. Not Lim Garam and Abeoji, too. But we can’t ignore my son’s words."

"I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence, but we did find a strange perfu on one of the Ogas working as a cleaner," Jung Han said, starting his report imdiately. "It’s supposed to be an odorless perfu. But once an Oga wearing the perfu goes in heat, the true properties of the perfu will co out. The Oga’s pheromones will increase and beco stronger. The perfu has properties akin to an aphrodisiac, too. To be precise, aphrodisiac ant to attract Alphas."

Aigooya.

"Does that Oga have a lover?"

"Uhm..."

"What? Spill it."

"We found a small calendar among the Oga’s belongings," Jung Han said, obviously hesitating. "We ignored it at first, but then we realized that the dates highlighted on the calendar matched the tis you visited your parents here, Vice Chairman Song. Even today’s date was highlighted. Moreover, the Oga is supposed to get their heat cycle this week. So..."

Haaah.

Fuck.

So, I’m the target.

Song Sihyuk smirked bitterly. "That Oga was planning to seduce ?"

"That’s what we believe, sir."

"Fire that bastard."

"We already sent him ho, sir."

"Did you find out where he got the perfu?" Song Sihyuk asked. "A perfu with an odorless aphrodisiac sounds trouble— like, sothing that will only be available on the black market."

"We’re still trying to figure out where the Oga got the perfu, but we suspect that it was another creation by the Cho Triplets."

"Of course, it’s them again."

"Should we investigate further, sir?" Jung Han asked carefully. "Would you like to know if it was just a coincidence that the Oga got his hand on sothing that the Cho Triplets made, or if it was planned?"

The Cho Triplets, huh?

When I lost my mories, Cho Dongpyo tried to approach and asked to take him back. To be fair, I know that getting my hands on the Hanmi Chem would help stabilize my position in the company. But, for so reason, just looking at Cho Dongpyo makes my skin crawl.

Needless to say, Song Sihyuk rejected Cho Dongpyo.

My relationship with the Cho Triplets had beco sour since then.

But the Cho Triplets hadn’t bothered him much lately.

Still...

"Go ahead and investigate further," Song Sihyuk said, sighing. "Check and see what the Cho Triplets are up to, especially Cho Dongpyo."

Song Sihyuk would find out later that the problem didn’t stop at the odorless perfu.

"DADDY, don’t eat that."

Garam was surprised when Gunwoo suddenly grabbed Song Sihyuk’s wrist when Song Sihyuk was about to take a bite of his steak. "Baby, why are you stopping your daddy from eating his food?"

Lee Wonjae (who finally stopped his hunger strike to join them for lunch) and Song Seokjju (who kept putting more and more at on Lee Wonjae’s plate) stopped eating, and then they looked at Gunwoo curiously.

My baby won’t do it without a reason.

"What’s wrong, son?" Song Sihyuk asked gently. "Why should daddy not eat this?"

"It slls bad, Daddy," Gunwoo said, scrunching his nose. And then he pointed at the other dishes served on the table. "They all sll bad, too."

Garam actually didn’t sll anything wrong with the dishes, but he dropped his utensils as soon as his son said the food was bad.

So did Song Sihyuk and his in-laws.

Oh, I sll sothing this ti.

It was Song Sihyuk and Song Seokju’s stinky pheromones.

The Alphas are mad...

Well, it was understandable since it seed like soone tampered with their food.

I’m just glad that they believe my son.

"Daddy, Gunwoo doesn’t like how you and Grandpa sll right now..."

"I’m sorry, son," Song Sihyuk said, and then he looked at Garam. "Garam-ah, please have lunch with Gunwoo and Appa at our hotel. I’ll call them in advance. Abeoji and I will take care of the issue here."

Garam nodded while carrying Gunwoo in his arms. "I understand, Hyung."

***

JUST HALF an hour later, Garam found himself having lunch with Gunwoo and Lee Wonjae at a fancy buffet in the hotel owned by SG Group.

Only the three of them were sharing the table, but that didn’t an they were alone.

There were many uniford and non-uniford bodyguards keeping an eye on them.

"They’re being overprotective again, right?" Lee Wonjae said, sighing while shaking his head. "The Alphas in my family are truly unhinged."

"That’s true, but I’m still grateful that you all believed my son, Appa," Garam said while wiping the smudge of sauce in the corner of Gunwoo’s mouth with a table napkin. "This is the first ti Gunwoo’s nose has beco this sensitive."

"Do you think it’s because your son has been showered by Sihyuk’s pheromones?"

Oh.

His Oga father-in-law made a good point.

I an, Sihyuk Hyung’s pheromones played a big part in my transition, after all.

But, on the other hand, Garam wished they were wrong.

I don’t want Gunwoo to manifest early.

"SIR, we found a bottle of suspicious ’condints’ in the trash can. When one of our bodyguards tasted it, his rut was suddenly triggered. We already sent the bottle to an expert to identify what exactly it is, but we suspect that it could trigger a rut in Alphas."

Song Sihyuk clenched his jaw tight.

Even his father looked upset.

Thank goodness we didn’t end up eating the food sprinkled with suspicious condints.

"Have you started interrogating all the kitchen staff?" his Alpha father asked. "Make sure everyone who touched the dishes served to us would be included in the investigation."

"Yes, sir. We’ve already started interrogating everyone," Jung Han said, pausing for a mont before he added: "But, apparently, the sous chef left in a hurry after the food was served. We already sent people to catch him."

Hah!

Obviously, the sous chef who had left in a hurry was their main suspect.

I can’t believe I let sothing like this happen the day I brought Lim Garam and our son ho.

If Gunwoo wasn’t there...

Ah, I don’t even want to think what could have happened.

Song Sihyuk clenched his jaw tight, annoyed. "Find that bastard and bring him to quick."
