"Kogoro has already come to talk to me; he wants to resolve this matter privately."
Horie Yumi straightened her hair and said, "I haven't given him a reply yet..."
No wonder he was in a daze all night... After muttering to himself, Lin Yi spoke up, "We already have the photos, so leaking them would be easy. But that method is too extreme and would cause a huge emotional upheaval for both parties involved."
"My boss hopes to resolve this matter quietly and have the two of them divorce naturally."
"I see..."
Horie Yumi nodded and said confidently, "Getting them to divorce isn't difficult... The couple has been separated for ten years. At the very least, if I exert even a little effort, Mouri Kogoro will fall at my feet!"
Regarding this, Lin Yi let out a cold laugh and said bluntly, "If you were ten years younger, I might believe that... But you are no longer the you from ten years ago."
"If it weren't for the fact that you and Mouri Kogoro share a history as classmates, I wouldn't have come to you."
This remark made Horie Yumi feel very uncomfortable, but she also knew it was the truth.
A woman's skin begins to age at 25. After 25, female skin experiences a decline in protein glycation, dead skin cell turnover slows down, and the production of new skin cells decreases.
It only really starts to show around the age of 35. By 35, bone density begins to decline, and the body enters the natural aging process.
She was already over 35 now, and only by diligently maintaining her skin and exercising could she barely retain this bit of beauty.
Although she didn't want to admit it, when it came to beauty, there were plenty of beautiful women in Tokyo prettier than her.
Even if you went to those high-end clubs and picked one at random, not a single one would be worse than her.
"Do you have to be so blunt?" Horie Yumi pouted, looking quite unhappy.
Lin Yi was the boss; would he care about her feelings?
Take the job or leave it; it wasn't like he was out of options.
He only came to her to save himself some trouble.
If she didn't want to do it, Lin Yi could just find some other young lady, orchestrate a few coincidental meetings with Mouri Kogoro, create a pitiful persona, actively pursue Mouri Kogoro, and have a passionate romance with him.
Lin Yi didn't believe that Mouri Kogoro, a middle-aged man starved for love, could resist that.
"If you successfully get Mouri Kogoro and Eri Kisaki to divorce smoothly, the payment is ten million," Lin Yi stated.
Horie Yumi thought for a moment and asked, "By'smoothly,' do you mean... getting them to divorce willingly?"
"Of course," Lin Yi said with a hint of amusement. "If I wanted to use crude methods, those photos would have been enough to get the job done; why would I need you?"
"Th-that's true."
Horie Yumi smiled awkwardly. She had originally planned to just use threats to make Mouri Kogoro be with her.
Clean and efficient.
But now, the requirement was that Mouri Kogoro had to do it willingly, which raised the difficulty level by several notches.
However, they offered a high price of ten million, which was worth the difficulty.
"Alright... no problem."
Horie Yumi accepted the task and asked, "Is there a time limit?"
