Foreign Minister Sangsu Lim had never formally met Harrison, the US Secretary of Commerce, face-to-face, but he had encountered him briefly in the past. So he had no choice but to feel uneasy at Harrison's remarks.
He visited Korea along with the top oil companies from not only the United States but also from around the world, but then he said he would visit the Blue House later.
But Foreign Minister Lim did not question him at all because he would be prone to the people's anger if he upset Harrison.
Anyway, Foreign Minister Lim just stared blankly at the US delegation passing by him.
He then said to his chief secretary, "Call the Blue House right now. And monitor their movements and report to me every minute, or every second!"
"Yes, sir!"
Of course, Foreign Minister Lim had more troubles waiting for him.
"Minister Lim, why don't you move with the US economic delegation?"
"Aren't they supposed to head to the Blue House with you?"
"Are they heading to the hotel right now?"
