chapter 31
31 – Girlfriend at the dinner party (2)
The day of the dinner party arrived in an instant.
It was already past 18:00.
After those who cannot attend due to personal reasons leave work first.
I glanced around to see the remaining people making their own preparations.
Someone is leisurely picking up luggage.
Someone is making a phone call to a person presumed to be a lover.
Someone is glaring at me with eyes like lightning.
“Why are you looking at me like that from before?” ….”
“Mr. Yuri. “You’re definitely coming today, right?”
After Gyeongtae heard that Ruina was participating.
His eyes were always full of anger, jealousy, and other emotions.
“I guess it’s true. But why are your eyes like that?”
“Don’t you know better? Huh? Betrayer?”
“What a traitor… ….”
I was really looking forward to Ruina coming.
Are you saying that you don’t want to see Ruina stuck with me again?
Up until now, I thought I only knew the feelings of a woman, but I also have no idea how a jealous man feels.
“Okay then, shall we leave soon?”
At one word from the manager, everyone stood up from their seats at the same time without saying a word.
The words of a level 5 civil servant are absolute here.
[Where are you now? We are now in full swing.]
While the group was heading towards the dinner party.
I sent it to Ruina with her thoughts.
And let’s just zone out for a while.
[Wow. Right here and now. Wait a minute…………. They say it will arrive soon!]
Ruina’s lively tone immediately returned.
She can’t move on her own without me by her side.
Because of this, Ruina was riding in the National Intelligence Service van that she had recently been using as a taxi.
Probably the reason I lost my thoughts midway was because I was asking the black suit riding with me about the location.
Anyway, I was very worried about whether it would really be okay.
Last time Ruina stopped by the hero bureau rooftop, she met only a few people.
This time, more than 20 people encounter her.
Since there are no heroes among the people she meets, she may not be nervous for no reason, but I wondered if it would really be okay to show everyone that she is holding a big secret.
“Team leader Lee Tae-seok said it was okay, but… ….”
In fact, I was more worried because the person said he was okay.
It was clear that if Ruina made even the slightest unexpected move, or if someone tried to do something unexpected to Ruina, the NIS agents hiding everywhere would definitely come out.
I wonder if it would be possible to remain calm with bombs surrounding us that could explode at any moment…….
“What are you muttering so much about earlier? “Is it a waste to show it to others, Yuri?”
“It’s not like that, dude.”
Gyeongtae was still showing strong jealousy toward me.
If we don’t do something about this guy real quick, I think he’ll turn into a jealous villain.
“So, how are things going with Blaze?”
“B, why are you suddenly talking about Blaze?”
“You are such a hungry woman. “Of course, to me, that person who talks doesn’t look like a woman.”
“No, what? Blaze is a very busy person…….”
Gyeongtae was wiggling her hands and glancing up at the dark sky for no reason.
There was no answer, but it was assumed that there were at least no major issues between the two.
“Oh, anyway! “If Yuri comes, I dare you to be rude, right?”
“Why are you being rude again?”
“I wonder if any of Yuri’s friends are in a similar situation to me… …. Something like that… ….”
Gyeongtae blushed slightly and gradually lowered his voice.
This guy.
I guess that was the purpose of her asking whether Ruina was coming.
“What? “If that were the case, I wouldn’t mind doing it.”
“Really!? “So, if you tell Yuri that your boyfriend said it’s okay for him to ask, then!?”
“You said so.”
There is no way Gyeongtae will get the pink result he wants.
I answered harshly.
I had never heard of Ruina having a same-s*x friend.
To begin with, she has been living as a villain for the past few years.
She didn’t have an ordinary friend, and even if she really had someone she could call a friend, that friend might also be a villain.
“hehehe… ….”
Gyeongtae, who obviously didn’t know that, was making a vain expression as if he were imagining things.
* * *
The destination for a company dinner held after a long time was a meat restaurant in the downtown area.
Meat.
It doesn’t feel that luxurious, but when it comes to company dinners, there’s nothing like it.
Besides, I haven’t eaten grilled meat in the last few days.
Now that Ruina is participating, let’s feed her plenty of meat.
That’s probably the only thing I can do right now to forget my worries.
“Hey. “When does Mr. Yuri come?”
Gyeongtae, who was about to enter the store, suddenly asked a question.
“That’s fine.”
I was waiting for Louis outside the store entrance with her arms crossed.
No. She was actually pretending to wait.
Before our group arrived at the meat restaurant.
Ruina had already arrived here about 10 minutes ago.
However. If Ruina were here before us, she would be a strange picture.
She had just told her to wait a moment until I came.
“Hmm. I think we’re almost there now… ?”
I showed a clumsy performance and winked quickly towards a distant part of the street.
[Okay honey! I’ll go right away!]
I heard Ruina’s thoughts as she was watching me from somewhere nearby.
I guess about 10 seconds passed like that.
“Huh? “Is that Mr. Yuri?”
“Ah, have we arrived now?”
“……… ….”
Gyeongtae and I closed our mouths at the same time.
“hehehe. “A little late, right?”
Ruina tucks the side of her long hair behind her ear and flashes her sweet, charming smile.
On her face, there was light makeup that I had never seen before.
It’s almost like basic makeup, with just a little bit of color makeup applied to the cheeks and lips.
But now, Ruina’s beauty seemed to have gone up at least a few levels.
“Oh, hey. “My girlfriend is here, so I have to say something.”
Kyungtae was stiff and was repeatedly touching me with his elbow.
But I couldn’t think of anything to say when I saw my girlfriend’s more beautiful appearance.
There is only one thought filling my head right now.
[Pretty.]
It was a short yet powerful word.
“Ehehehe…… ♡”
Of course, my thoughts would continue to be conveyed to her.
She was fiddling with her earring type communication device and her cheeks were blushing.
The appearance was even more attractive.
If it weren’t for her condition, I would have wanted to touch her right away.
“Well, you look good on me, Lu-Yuri.”
“hehehe. She was praised by herself. “It’s worth decorating.”
It wasn’t just makeup.
Louis Na’s current outfit was a layered dress with a large ribbon tied around her waist to emphasize her streamlined body line.
The neat yet strangely provocative outfit was a perfect match for Ruina’s superior proportions.
“Ah, hello Yuri! Well, you remember me!?”
Gyeongtae raised his bow at a 90-degree angle and bowed in an excessively loud voice.
“Umm… ….”
Louis I gently placed her index finger on her light pink lips and tilted her head slightly to the side.
“Sir, have you truly forgotten…?” ….”
“hehehe. It’s a joke. Mr. Yoo Gyeong-tae.”
Soon after, Louisa returned Gyeongtae’s greeting with a playful expression, slightly sticking out her tongue.
“Ha, ha. Under. Hot… ….”
Her face smiled stiffly and pretended to rub her chest.
Better than this guy.
No matter how pretty she is, she is being completely played with…….
“Go in first. “I’ll talk to Yuri for a moment and then go in.”
“Uh, huh. Okay okay. See you again inside, Yuri.”
“Yes~”
Kyungtae turns towards us again and again.
To be precise, Hagen Rui nodded her head at me several times and entered her restaurant.
Right after Gyeongtae entered.
As usual, Ruina nudged her head.
I lovingly stroked the back of Ruina’s head, which seemed to be even more shiny today.
If it were normal, I would have stroked the top of her head.
Right now, all I wanted to do was pull her close and pet her.
“hehehe. He’s stroking me more aggressively than usual. “Am I that pretty?”
“I thought my heart would drop because it was so pretty. “How did you do your makeup?”
The reason why Ruina is so pretty is because she is pretty.
How on earth do you do makeup that requires concentration for a long time?
When she asked that question, Ruina smiled as she glanced at the alley she had walked out of.
“There is a person among your subordinates who is good at camouflage. “So I asked for it.”
“Stomach, stomach?”
“They say a woman’s makeup is camouflage, right? hehehehe.”
I’m sure I’ve heard that, but…… !
I couldn’t imagine seeing someone the size of Taesan in a suit carefully powdering Ruina’s fair face.
