Money Loving CEO's Detective Lover

The investors were shell shocked to see the man dressed up as a bunny, oozing confidence in that state. His subordinates tried to distance themselves from their crazy CEO but given that all of them were wearing ridiculous outfits, it was difficult to do so. The passersby stared at them openly, pointing and laughing at the weird group.      

"Mom, look circus mascots!" One child squealed, pointing at the animal party.     

"We look like clowns!" Jonging mumbled in dismay.      

"Did you really think the Vesudas was going to let us laugh at him allday?" Lia groaned. "Who knew that he would end up with this sort of crazy idea to divert the attention away from him!"     

"Why is he dressed like this?" Jongin wondered.     

As if answering his question again on that day, the doors to the mall slid open. Gayoon entered the place, hoping to get a glance of Minho in his bunny costume. Driver Jang had secretly taken pictures of him which she already posted on her social media and within seconds, the photos went viral. Jina could not believe her father actually wore that but since she was in school, she was unable to accompany her mother to see it on her own.     

Gayoon could not help but laugh all morning at his state. The poor guy had tried to beg her not to make him wear that all day but she did not budge from her stance. She wanted to punish him for teasing her so much and this was the perfect revenge.     

"I wonder how much he is suffering?" she said gleefully. "Can't wait to see his misery!"     

It did not take her long to spot them but to her surprise, Minho had made his whole staff wear animal costumes!     

"What the hell?" she frowned. "That's unfair!"     

Meanwhile, Minho stood proudly in front of the investors. The men were simply staring at him, wondering if it was some kind of sick joke.     

"Mr. Hwang," an investor named Han began. "Is this some kind of joke? Why are you and your staff dressed like this?"     

"No, it's not a joke," Minho claimed. "This is part of our new strategy for children's theme corner."     

"To dress up as freaks?" another investor named Shao frowned. "This is ridiculous! How are you going to attract children and their families to use your theme corner by dressed as this?"     

"Yes."     

The investors frowned even more but Minho did not care. "Follow me," he told them.      

What else was in store? Everyone present at the site wondered. Gayoon was watching everything from afar and quietly tailed the group as they walked towards the children's corner.      

There were a few children running around the corner. It was a mini playground for them with a ball pit at one side while small rides were set up for the kids. There was also a wall where children could post their paintings to display. An art station was installed complete with brushes, pencils, paint and other drawing equipment. Right outside it was a small vending machine for the kids in case if they were hungry. Next to the vending machine were a few bookshelves which had books ranging from drawing books to fantasy books for children.     

 The children squealed as they threw the soft balls at each other while a babysitter was on standby, ready to take care of them if anything went awry. The place was filled with the laughter of children and emitted a warm feeling. The soft pastel walls were painted with colorful castles and cartoon characters playfully smiling at them. There was a coziness to it which was soothing and Gayoon decided to bring Jina there the next time they were at the mall.     

The staff of the mall immediately bowed at their CEO who silently acknowledged them. He pointed to one of the female employees and said, "You know what to do."     

The girl nodded and scurried to the back room and within seconds came out with a speaker and amplifier. Minho then pointed at Jongin and Lia.     

"Follow me!" he ordered.     

Jonging hurried over to his CEO's side and whispered, "Please don't make us do that again!"     

"What are you talking about?" Minho frowned. "You've done that before! You can do it again!"     

"I don't want to die out of embarrassment!"     

"If we get this deal," Minho said. "I'll double your pay."     

"I'd rather starve to death!"     

Lia also came scurrying forward. "Sir, I also think that we should not be doing…that in front of everyone!"     

She looked around, conscious of the eyes on her and wanted to hide her face. The CEO's crazy idea was going to cost them their reputation as serious businessmen.     

"If that brings me money then I'm ready to do it for the rest of my life!" Minho snapped. "Now just follow my lead!"     

Jongin and Lia's head hung in dismay. There was no escaping the money lover's eccentricities. What did they do to deserve such a fate?     

Everyone watched, skeptical of whatever Minho had in mind. Gayoon furrowed her brows, trying to figure out what Minho was up to. He stood in the center with a highly embarrassed Jongin and Lia standing right behind him.     

The employee who brought out the sound system nodded at them. Minho pointed at her and began to count.     

"One…two…three…hit it!"     

The music was on and Bigbang's 'Bang Bang Bang' began to play from the box. To everyone's shock, Minho began to dance!     

Gayoon's eyes almost fell out of her sockets when Minho began to breakdance. He slid easily on the floor, doing a little somersault while Lia spun around him like a ballerina. Jongin high fived him and jumped on the floor, landing on his hand while his lower body went in circles before he jumped again to land in a perfect 180 degree split.     

The crowd gathered around the three stooges who were dancing like professional idols. They were jeering happily, taking pictures. The children squealed in delight and soon, some of them joined them, dancing to G-Dragon's raps. They wanted to sway with the bunny, who seemed to be totally enjoying himself as he jumped around with the kids.     

The investors, who were initially doubtful of the idea, looked interested at what the CEO was doing. His antics were strange but attractive enough for the children who were now climbing on the dancing mascots laps. The mascots circled around with them, making them laugh in joy. Minho was so much into the dance that he forgot about his earlier embarrassment.      

Meanwhile, Gayoon was almost going to have a heart attack. Not only did the money lover turn the table on her, he was also enjoying his stint as a bunny and made money out of it?     

And top of that he actually looked cute doing it?     

"Kill me," she gritted. "If there's a spirit around, please kill me now!"     

But her silly heart was beating even seeing him in that silly costume. What charm did the money lover possess?      

In the background, Minho was oblivious to everything else and simply enjoyed the dance which was going to make him millions of dollars.
