The Mafia's Son | p.jm [completed]

11. It's you!

**JAE EUN'S POV**

I've been really present at work these past few days, focusing so much that I totally forgot about the business party that's finally happening tonight. I've been worrying for the past hour about what to wear because I'm such a genius that I forgot to buy appropriate clothes for this event.

I mean, I know I could just borrow some clothes from Ara, but I really wanted to buy something new and special for tonight, because I'm not only representing this company but myself as well. I want to look my best to impress all the other business men, entrepreneurs, reporters and the like, because this could really help me with my career too. I decided to go to Mr. Kim's office so that I could tell him about my situation and ask if I could leave work early today and buy something to wear.

"Annyeong Mr. Kim." I greeted him as I sat down on one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"Oh great, Jae Eun ah. I was just about to call you in." He said, which led me to raise a brow at him.

"Did you need something?" I asked and he shook his head no.

"It's just, I told my wife about how I was sending you to the business party tonight and she was so thankful that she wanted me to give you this." He said and grabbed a large rectangular box from beside him.

He placed it on the table and pushed it towards me. "You should wear this tonight. My wife especially chose this for you." He said.

"Really?" I asked him in shock.

He nodded his head and gestured for me to open the box, so I did. I took the top of the box off and placed it on the floor beside me. Then, I proceeded to unravel the wrapping paper that held the dress.

I gasped as I took the dress out of the box, and held it in front of me. It was such a beautiful red color and it looked like it ended just right above the knees. It was a really simple cocktail dress, but it's simplicity spoke levels. The dress looked so gorgeous that I had to place it back inside the box, and started to shake my head.

"Mr. Kim, this looks really expensive. I can't possibly accept this." I explained to him, but he just shook his head at me.

"You'll make my wife really happy if you wear this tonight. If you don't accept this, she will only feel bad." He told me.

I sighed. I guess, I didn't really have a choice. A huge grin appeared on my face and I decided to accept the beautiful dress.

"Alright, I will accept this Mr. Kim. Thank you so much. Tell your wife that I love it." I told him with a thankful smile.

The party was going to start at seven in the evening tonight, so Mr. Kim allowed me to leave work earlier than usual. I hopped inside my car and quickly drove back to my apartment. When I entered the house, I immediately saw Ara who was lounging in the living room.

"Finally, you're here." She exclaimed. "Did you find something to wear?" She asked me.

"I did." I told her with a huge smile on my face.
