Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 56
Only Noblemtl
#56. Yerin’s New House
2023.12.12.
Just before leaving work, Secretary Choi entered Lee Hyun’s office.
“Director, did the friend who was consulting me last night get her mind in order?”
It was a reference to the story of Yerin falling asleep alone, leaving me behind.
“Secretary Choi, you’ve lost your touch because you haven’t dated. I don’t think what Secretary Choi told you was right.”
“Huh? That can’t be true.”
“That woman has a crush on my friend. She fell asleep first because she was tired that day.”
“I told you not to? If she really liked him, she couldn’t have done that.”
The two men stood firm against each other without giving up their opinions.
“How can Secretary Choi be so sure?”
“I know a woman’s heart.”
Lee Hyun snickered at those words.
“When was your last relationship, Secretary Choi?”
Secretary Choi took a deep breath at the words that stabbed him in the heart.
“Since the chief won’t let me go, how could he have had time to date?”
Lee Hyun smirked and lifted the corners of his mouth as if he found it amusing.
“Now, isn’t Secretary Han Ye-rin in charge of most of the work? But Secretary Choi doesn’t have a single woman who is doing well… …”
“There is.”
“What?”
Secretary Choi quickly put on a proud expression.
Lee Hyun’s eyebrows rose slightly at the sight.
“There is?”
Even though he had heard it himself, he still couldn’t believe it.
“Yes. There is. A woman who is doing well.”
Lee Hyun shook his head as he watched Secretary Choi confidently speak.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to pretend to be so nice in front of me.”
“Why do you think I’m lying?”
“Because I’ve never personally seen Secretary Choi meet a woman.”
Lee Hyun teased him, thinking that he was saying such things because he wanted to get off work early, but Secretary Choi took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket.
“You don’t seem to believe me even if I tell you the truth, so I’ll have to confirm it for you. “Excuse me for a moment.”
And then Secretary Choi made a phone call.
After a few rings, a woman’s voice really came.
– Mr. Hyun-jun, are you done with work already?
Lee Hyun’s eyes widened slightly at that voice.
Judging from the fact that he called her by her name in a friendly manner, it was clear that they were really close, just as Secretary Choi had said.
Secretary Choi straightened her shoulders as if to tell Lee Hyun to look at this, and continued talking while being conscious of him.
“I’m planning to leave work on time today. I’ll go to the front of the company, so would you like to have dinner with me today?”
– Okay. I’ll wait.
The call was short, but it was enough to give Lee Hyun quite a shock.
“Did you hear? I have a woman who’s doing well.”
“… … .”
There was no answer.
“Director, so can you trust the relationship advice I gave you?”
Lee Hyun leaned forward, leaning on the desk with both arms.
“No, I can’t believe it.”
“Why on earth?”
“Secretary Choi, you’re not dating that woman yet, are you?”
“… … .”
“It’s possible that we could just get to know each other and then just end things.”
“Why are you spewing such bad words?”
When Secretary Choi got angry, Lee Hyun let out a small laugh.
“It’s not like I’ve been seeing a woman for a long time. I hope you don’t act like you’re a good man in front of me just because you have a woman you’re interested in for a moment.”
The words came out quite crookedly.
Yes, it was right to be jealous of Secretary Choi.
It’s clear that until recently, he had never met a woman and his hobby was to leave work alone and read webtoons, but now he has a woman he’s close enough to go on a dinner date with every day. Regardless
of whether he did or not, Secretary Choi always had a big smile on his face.
He straightened his back after checking his watch.
“Chief, can I leave work now?”
“Oh, Secretary Choi. What happened to the work I told you to do before?” Secretary
Choi opened his mouth after thinking for a moment about which of all the work he was referring to.
“Are you talking about the work of selling the house on the lower floor of the villa where you live?”
“Exactly.”
“I told the landlord I was willing to pay more than the market price, and he moved out right away. It’s currently empty.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Lee Hyun sat down again as if he could go out.
He was already living comfortably in the top floor villa, so he didn’t know why he had suddenly ordered the sale of the house on the lower floor, but his curiosity was limited to that point.
Secretary Choi left the office without hesitation because asking more could have given him a new job.
Now it was time to go on a date.
***
“Oh my, did you hear about another murder case?”
Hyejin, who was surfing the internet before leaving work, shouted when she saw the news.
“This is a neighborhood close to the company.”
Many media outlets were reporting on the murder case that had occurred in the villa where Yerin lived.
“The world is really scary.”
Hyejin shook her head, checked the time on her computer, and immediately got up from her seat.
“Huh? It’s already this late? I have a dinner appointment, so I’ll go first.”
“I’m going to leave work too. Secretary Han, see you tomorrow.”
After Hyejin and Seolgi both left, Yerin was left alone in the secretary’s office.
Yerin checked the quiet surroundings and made a phone call.
“Nari, can I talk to you?”
-Huh? Oh, I have an evening appointment right now, so I can make it short. What’s going on?
The only reason she called Na-ri before leaving work was because
she couldn’t go to her own house today, so she wanted to ask if she could stay at Na-ri’s house for a day.
“Nothing else, but at your house today… …”
-Yerin, I think I have to go out now. If it’s not urgent, can we talk a little later?
She couldn’t hold on to Na-ri because her voice sounded so urgent.
“Okay, then. Eat dinner.”
-You too.
As soon as she hung up, Lee Hyun appeared in the office.
When Yerin got up, Lee Hyun looked at the empty secretary’s office and spoke in a low voice.
“Shall we leave work together?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
Yerin spoke carefully as they rode the elevator down.
“Director, I’m going to a hotel near the company today.”
She was scared to go to her own house, and since Na-ri seemed busy, she had no other choice.
I thought Lee Hyun would understand, but the story he told me in return was a little different.
“Before we go to the hotel, there’s a place I’ll go with you.”
“Really? Where is it?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
Since he didn’t give her a detailed explanation, Yerin had no choice but to follow Lee Hyun with curiosity.
***
Lee Hyun’s car arrived at the villa where he lived.
“Why is this place…?”
Yerin just blinked, not knowing why he brought her here.
“Let’s go up.”
Yerin slowly shook her head, thinking he was telling her to go to Lee Hyun’s house.
“You owed me enough yesterday. I can’t do that today.”
Lee Hyun must have expected that kind of reaction, so he just smiled faintly.
“I’m not telling you to go to my house, so don’t misunderstand.”
“Then where exactly are we going?”
“The house where Han Yerin will be staying.”
“Huh?”
This was also a surprising statement.
Lee Hyun got on the elevator and pressed the button for the floor below, not the top floor.
‘What? Are we really going to the chief’s house?’
While thinking that.
The elevator made a ding- sound and stopped right below where Lee Hyun lived.
“Let’s get off.”
When he got off the elevator, unlike Lee Hyun’s house where he lived alone on one floor, there were two houses.
Lee Hyun went to the house on the right and pressed the door lock password. After hearing
the beep- beep-
release sound, Lee Hyun held the door and moved it aside so that Yerin could easily enter.
“Let’s go in.”
“Here?”
“Yes.”
As Yerin stood there dumbfounded, Lee Hyun took the first step.
Yerin couldn’t just stand there in the hallway, so she followed him inside.
It was smaller than Lee Hyun’s house, but it was much bigger than the house Yerin had lived in before.
The living room was empty, as if no one had ever lived there.
Yerin asked curiously, looking at the empty space without any furniture or appliances.
“Whose house is this?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? This is the house that Han Yerin will be staying
in.” “No, how could I… … .”
Lee Hyun spoke softly to Yerin, who was looking surprised.
“To be exact, I have a spare house, and I’m going to have Han Yerin manage it.”
“Is that spare house here?”
“Exactly.”
Yerin nodded slowly and then asked.
“If you hire a separate manager… …”
“Is that really necessary? Han Yerin, I think you said you were planning to move out of the villa you were living in.”
“Yes. I did.”
“So, Han Yerin, you’re going to move here, and I’m going to have you manage the house.”
Lee Hyun smiled cheerfully, as if it were a good thing for both of them.
“It’s hard to sell this house, and no one wants to come, so I can’t get rid of it right now.”
When Yerin was about to open her mouth to suggest that she consider such a method, Lee Hyun spoke first.
“They said it’s not good to leave the house empty for too long. I’ll rent it to a secretary who needs a place to stay right now.”
“But this place is too much for me to live in, Lee Hyun.”
“I’m not offering it for free.”
Lee Hyun smiled at Yerin, who was still dumbfounded.
“I’ll collect rent.”
“Yes, you should. But my salary is a bit excessive for this villa…”
Lee Hyun let out a small laugh at her honest words.
“Do you think I’d collect rent in money from Han Yerin? I make hundreds of times more money than Secretary Han.”
“Then what do you want in rent?”
“Just have dinner with me more often, and wake me up in the morning yourself. That should be fine.”
Lee Hyun smiled brightly, as if it were a clear barter where both sides gave each other what they desperately needed.
