Daring Chapter 11

S Department Store, which housed d4c66d2892 many high-end brand stores, was ca6c021f50 one that the Daeyoung Group 383c0b52f0 had failed to acquire. This department store, constantly 7c0f3658cc visited by wealthy madams, 1ba5b9b5f3 had staff who were 950d364b87 just as well-trained.66346a8c8f19ad2a

Woojin went straight to 6e323ff280 the section where underwear 7c2d9f2928 matching his preferences was 021b881c8f displayed. Yuna followed him, and 35f979113d upon seeing the price 0760761a6f tags, she nearly let 51b52fff6f out a scream. The price of a 411f9517a9 single pair of panties 2c4fd5ad05 was higher than that beff96e648 of her most expensive b46e91d545 coat.a00a8c13cdb8c4bb

Feeling pathetic over her 508f46a1f0 situation, where she was d41d58b7b7 worth less than a f324fada83 single piece of underwear, 28e17152fa Yuna’s rebellious thoughts spilled daa54d2ae0 into her tone. The fact that they weren’t 5fb12e246c inside the Daeyoung household likely ab4c944bb1 played a part, making her 9b9adcbc92 momentarily forget her place.

Yuna answered honestly, having 7dada39cc4 occasionally bought it herself. Coffee from well-known a017af0c68 chain cafes costing 7b48f7fbac over 5,000 won d13f5438ec was too extravagant.

It hadn’t even 53419ee406 been two days e981751569 since she met b6f7c67af8 Woojin.

Yuna thought of 7f44f36ecb the kimchi stew cb49290f90 she used to bf964234b1 eat with her db3f823182 hospital colleagues after 01feb5771f night shifts. The restaurant near 38f8b78886 the hospital was 167a283204 often visited by 8b992666b3 exhausted hospital staff aa070ce549 and caregivers. Maybe because of that, the 363abd89b2 food was served quickly and 737fdcad00 had a distinctly bold flavor—already c192b63323 seasoned so strongly that there a925883be1 was no need to simmer 9284b7d5cf it longer at the table.
