Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 70

#70. Memories of Mango Cookies
2024.01.30.

Yerin went to work wearing the blouse and skirt he gave her because she was concerned about what Lee Hyun had said last night.

It was not polite to receive a gift and not wear it.

Since she was going to meet Na-ri after work today, it was not a bad idea to wear new clothes instead of her usual clothes to change her mood.

“Good morning.”

Lee Hyun, who was entering the secretary’s office, noticed Yerin and smiled brightly.

“Secretary Han, your clothes look good on you.”

“Thank you.”

He must have noticed that she had bought her the clothes, so he stopped and complimented her on them before going into his office.

As she was trying to focus on her work,

Hyejin, who had come to Yerin’s desk, narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Secretary Han, by the way, is that a Metnell blouse?”

“Huh?”

Seolgi joined in, looking very curious.

“I think it is. Recently, a famous idol was photographed at the airport wearing this blouse and it caused quite a stir.”

“Oh, really? This one cost 100 million won?”

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Yerin’s answer.

Yerin awkwardly laughed and waved her hand.

“No. It’s probably a similar blouse. I bought it online.”

Since she didn’t have to take off her blouse to check it for herself, Yerin made that excuse.

“Well, how could a secretary buy Metnell clothes with that salary?”

Fortunately, Hyejin seemed to believe her.

As she returned to her seat, Hyejin continued to sing about luxury goods.

“Ha. How do you think people who have money to spare and use luxury bags like shopping carts feel?” Since Hyejin

usually didn’t save her salary and often bought luxury bags on installment, it wasn’t strange for her to say something like that.

“Secretary Shin, have you seen the bag that came out at Chanel?”

“Mini bag?”

“Yes. Isn’t it pretty? Even if you wait in line to buy it offline, you can’t buy it.”

“It’s really expensive for something so small. I want that bag.”

Hyejin sat down and kicked the shopping bag containing the snacks Mrs. Yoon had given her.

“No, Mrs. Yoon has so much money, but she bought me things like wallets at the duty-free shop. What’s with the mango cookies?”

“That’s right. I was really looking forward to it, but honestly, I was disappointed because it only had mango cookies.”

“But it does taste good. It’s sweet and hard.”

“That’s right. It tastes like chewing on your tongue?”

“Oh my, how can you say such scary things so casually? Hohoho.”

Seulgi and Hyejin disappeared, saying they couldn’t concentrate at all on their work and that they would go down to a cafe for a bit.

Even after they left the secretary’s office, Yerin’s face was still red and she had to fan herself.

“Whoa, why is it so hot today?”

Yerin got up to open the window, but something caught her foot, so she turned her head away and froze.

“Oh, I put this here.”

Looking at the shopping bag containing the mango cookies that Mrs. Yoon had bought, she remembered the secret time she had spent here last night.

“There was something else I wanted to eat.”

“This is much tastier than what Han Ye-rin had fed her.”

“Is it because I shared it with Han Ye-rin?”

　
Ye-rin shook her head as she remembered what Lee Hyun had said.

“Ugh, I guess I can’t.”

Although she loved dried mangoes so much, she didn’t think she could eat any more.

Just looking at them reminded her of the secret encounter she had with Lee Hyun. She felt

a little bad about giving Na-ri some of the gift she had received from Mrs. Yoon, but she couldn’t help it.

She had to console herself with the fact that Mrs. Yoon had bought a lot of them and told her to share them with her friends and family.

***

Lee Hyun was returning to the office after finishing an external schedule with Secretary Choi.

“Secretary Choi, I’d like you to make a reservation at Queen’s M for this Friday.”

“Queen’s M?”

Queens M was the most popular dress shop in the country.

Actresses were desperate to get dresses from Queens M before award ceremonies, and brides from the political and business world who were getting married were desperate to wear wedding dresses from Queens M.

It was perhaps natural that Secretary Choi was surprised when he was told to make a reservation at Queens M, which was already fully booked for two years.

“I don’t know if there will be any open reservations.”

“There will be.”

The reason Lee Hyun was so sure was because the Queens M representative was a long-time friend of Ms. Yoon.

If Lee Hyun had asked for a reservation at Queen’s M, Mrs. Yoon would have heard about it, but it didn’t matter.

When she saw him come straight from Thailand to Ji-seok’s electronic secretary office and give Ye-rin a gift, Mrs. Yoon seemed to have already figured out who Lee Hyun’s unrequited love interest was.

So there was no reason to hide it any longer.

Given her personality, it was a choice she could make, since she wouldn’t have let it out that she knew about it first, which would burden her and Ye-rin

. “I’ll make time for you when I don’t have a name, so please give me a call.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Secretary Choi, who was organizing her schedule, carefully opened her mouth.

“Director, can I also make a reservation for an hour at Queen’s M?”

Since Secretary Choi never asked for favors, Lee Hyun was very puzzled.

“Why is Secretary Choi there? Are you going to wear a dress?”

“No.”

Secretary Choi waved her hand, asking why she was saying such things.

“There’s someone I want to give a Queen’s M dress to.”

Secretary Choi’s face was filled with excitement as she said that.

Lee Hyun immediately knew who the recipient of the dress was.

“You’re giving it to CEO Kim Na-ri?”

“Huh? How?”

Secretary Choi looked so genuinely surprised that she dropped the tablet PC she was holding.

On the other hand, Lee Hyun smiled with a very relaxed smile.

“I know everything.”

Just then, the car Lee Hyun was in pulled into the Jiseok Electronics building. Even

as she got out of the car and headed to her office, Secretary Choi continued to ask her persistent questions.

“No, how did the director know that?”

Lee Hyun just smiled and didn’t give a clear answer.

“I definitely didn’t say anything. Where did you hear it?”

“It’s written all over Secretary Choi’s face.”

“Huh? Oh, don’t joke around. I’m really curious.”

Secretary Choi looked like she was dying of curiosity, and Lee Hyun just enjoyed that reaction.

***

After work, Yerin went into a hostess bar near Na-ri’s office. Na-

ri, who had arrived early and taken a seat, raised her hand and greeted Yerin happily.

“What’s that?”

Na-ri showed interest in the shopping bag in Ye-rin’s hand.

“Do you want to eat this?”

Na-ri checked the contents of the shopping bag and pretended to know.

“Did your secretary’s office do a bulk purchase of these snacks?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“No, Hyun-jun already brought a bunch of these snacks yesterday and gave them to me?”

“Really? Secretary Choi?”

“Oh. But you gave them to me too, so this situation is so funny.”

Ye-rin awkwardly laughed and told the story of how she got the snacks.

“Director Cha Yi-hyun’s mother came back from her trip to Thailand and gave them to me.”

“Oh, is that so?” Na-

ri nodded, finally understanding why Hyun-jun and Ye-rin had brought so many mango snacks.

“Ye-rin, you liked these, right? Do you want to eat them?”

“Huh? I ate too much of them, so I’m a little sick of them.”

In fact, she wanted to get them out of her sight because she was reminded of the kiss she had with Lee Hyun when she saw the snacks.

It was embarrassing to reveal such private details.

Fortunately, Nari seemed to believe Yerin’s excuse.

“I’m welcome. I’ll eat well.”

The two ordered simple snacks and waited for their food.

“Ah!”

Nari knocked on the desk urgently as if she had remembered something she had forgotten.

“What are you doing this Saturday? I was invited to the KK Foods founding anniversary, and I’m bringing my partner. Do you want to go with me?”

Yerin looked embarrassed at the suggestion.

“I’m sorry. I’ve decided to go there with the general manager.”

“Really? That’s good.”

As she spoke, Nari soon became distraught.

“I really wanted to go there and get a face-painting with KK Group Chairman Cha Do-jun… … .”

“Is your secretary busy?”

“Uh. He said he was going on a family trip then, but I can’t hold him back.”

Seeing Nari who seemed to be worried, Yerin opened her mouth slightly.

“Then you’re going with Secretary Choi?”

“With Hyun-jun?”

Nari smiled brightly as if she had never thought of that before.

“On that day, the director, you, me, and Secretary Choi will all be in the same place?”

As she thought about that, Yerin also started to look forward to Saturday for no reason.

“What are you going to wear? Have you decided on your outfit?”

Yerin slowly nodded to Na-ri’s question.

“The chief said we should go together on Friday to choose a dress.”

“Really? Chief Cha Yi-hyun is really well-prepared.”

Na-ri began praising Lee Hyun while giving him a thumbs up.

“Honestly, you can’t find anything wrong with Chief Cha Yi-hyun, right? She’s handsome, talented, and on top of that, she’s very kind. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right.”

There was nothing wrong with what Na-ri said.

“You and Chief Cha Yi-hyun really suit each other.”

She was happy to hear those words, but at the same time, she was worried.

She wasn’t always the best choice for Lee Hyun.

As if she had read Yerin’s mind, Na-ri gently grabbed her hand that was on the table.

“Han Ye-rin, don’t be afraid before you collide.”

Having a strong supporter on your side gave her a lot of courage.

“Everyone can see that Chief Cha Yi-hyun is showing you sincere feelings.”

That was something that Yerin also knew.

“So don’t hesitate because of family differences or things like that.”

“… … .”

“The most important thing is each other’s feelings.”

Yerin’s heart became very calm as she listened to that story.

Perhaps it was as if she had been secretly waiting for someone to tell her that story.
