To Our Pure Little Beauty

Chapter 7

Secretary Kim only laughed and suddenly announced in a clear, distinct voice, “Ladies and gentlemen.”

His voice wasn’t particularly loud, however, there was a strange summoning force to it. The hall packed with people went silent and seemingly turned their heads towards our general direction. My hand that was pulling Jungkook’s arm subconsciously tightened, he extended his other hand and comfortingly patted the back of my hand.

Secretary Kim raised the wine glass in his hand, “This is my benefactor, Doctor Jeon. I’m asking everyone here to help me thank Doctor Jeon and his girlfriend with a glass of wine. Thank you!”

When he was done with his toast, we were then handed a glass of wine each.

Jungkook also made a toast to him, “I’m simply doing my job.”

Honestly speaking, I was really terrified, I’ve never meet people of this calibre. In my memory, the biggest crowd I’ve ever faced was when I joined a choir competition during grade school. At that time I was right in the middle of a group of children, singing with our mouth wide open. My legs on the other hand, were trembling as that of someone with infantile paralysis.

Now, a bunch of people were looking our way in unison, moreover, every single one of them was part of the ruling class — elites, tycoons, influential officials, and such. I wanted to say I’m just an ordinary person who just came over to watch a movie so please don’t look at me.

Fortunately, the spotlight hovered over us for only a short while. When everyone was done drinking, they quickly resumed to where they had left off, only then did I also notice that in my nervousness, I spilled wine on my hand.

It was only Secretary Kim who seemed as though he had no intentions of letting us go, and toasted another glass of wine to us again.

“Little Jeon, when you get married, remember to send me an invitation.”

“We will surely send out an invitation but you mustn’t drink anymore wine, your heart can’t stand it.” Jungkook said smiling, in a tone laced with strong authority unique to that of doctors.

Secretary Kim actually let out a smile and put the glass down. I was thinking about how to escape unharmed, and looked down languidly at the skirt I was wearing, analyzing which part should I wipe my dirty hand on where the stain wouldn’t be too obvious.

“Lisa, go to the restroom.” Jungkook said before he was whisked away by Secretary Kim.

After I was done washing my hands, I spotted Jungkook and Secretary Kim from a distance, surrounded by a group of people. I hesitated for a moment, I think it’s more fun to stay right beside the long table and stuff myself, anyway, I’ve already shown my ability of blocking the Secretary’s granddaughter, now I can finally show the ability of my stomach.

I stood right beside the table, observing it for a moment. I found out that the food looked the same right when they were taken out, as the few people who went to table stayed there for no more than ten seconds. So I felt reassured and took a big plate, ready to eat everything from the beginning of the table till the end, and to satisfy my desire to exploit the ruling class.

I was only able to eat four dishes when I encountered an obstacle. Of course it wasn’t about me being full, I’m very confident about my stomach, it was just that in front of me, there was a group of women. They were chatting by the table, and were naturally dressed to the nines for the banquet with brands that I obviously can’t afford. It’s hard to say if they look beautiful, as their makeup was done by someone with the hands of the gods. Indeed, the true features of the human race already cease to exist.
