CHAPTER 23 In love with a Milf (again)

In a grand hall with spotlights, a podium, and even live music, the 15th anniversary of the art center's opening is being celebrated.

Within it stands a beautiful woman who doesn't appear to be much older than 30 years old. With a captivating gaze, her warm light brown eyes become the center of attention, particularly highlighting a sexy mole beneath her right eye. The harmony of those eyes with the color of her hair is simply enchanting.

She's dressed in an elegant emerald green dress, and her presence exudes grace and sophistication. The dress clings to her slender and curvaceous body, exposing delicate shoulders and enhancing the beauty of her generous feminine attributes.

As if the dress wasn't enough to capture attention, an elaborate and majestic silver necklace adorned with exquisite emeralds adorns her long, slender neck, adding a touch of distinction and elegance. Matching the necklace, large and brilliant emerald earrings enhance her face and complement her look with a touch of sophistication and style.

In summary, her presence is a perfect combination of natural beauty and elegance, leaving everyone amazed by her captivating charm. I love it.

The woman stepped down from the podium to talk to the guests. I didn't approach her directly. I was originally wearing a simple black suit, with not much expectations for the evening, but after seeing her, one could say I fell in love.

I changed into a dark emerald green suit to match her, fixed my hair, and if before I looked like a 17-year-old, now I look like a young man of 25. When I was in the library, I chose to stop aging when I felt my body was at its peak condition.

I use my old age only to avoid unnecessary trouble with gossip, but once the apocalypse starts I'll change.

Exiting with my new appearance, I decided to create a good opportunity. I released a pheromone that makes people reveal their true selves. It doesn't drive them crazy, just relaxes them enough to feel comfortable and confident.

The woman was always accompanied by her daughters. Although the daughters were also beautiful, I didn't care about them next to their mother.

They bid farewell to the guests to head to the balcony. It seemed that the younger daughter stayed talking to a strange guy, but I didn't care; this would be my chance.

While the mother and daughter had an awkward silence, I approached to start a conversation.

"Good evening, Director Lee, you've organized a splendid ceremony. My name is Daniel Ashikaga; I came on behalf of my grandfather, I hope I'm not a bother," I introduced myself modestly and slightly bowed out of courtesy.

"Thank you for the compliments, Mr. Ashikaga. It's no trouble at all, it's an honor that you've attended from Japan," she replied more at ease due to the atmosphere. As for her daughter at her side, she didn't pay me much mind, so I did the same with her. She seems like the type who believes she can have whatever she wants.

"Not at all, I was already in Korea for some matters. I've been visiting orphanages and educational institutions to provide scholarships and support. That's another reason I attended; I've heard that Director Lee is also a great donor and supports charity." A little lie to increase trust, I'll apologize by supporting the children in the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

"Oh, it seems Mr. Ashikaga is also interested in supporting the needy. We could go together sometime," Even if she invited me just out of kindness. I wasn't going to let the opportunity slip by.

"More than being interested in the needy, he seem to be interested in you, Mother," her older daughter, with raised hair and a short dress, chimed in. She seems to have good intuition.

As Director Lee was about to reprimand her for her lack of manners, I interrupted.

"Your daughter is right, I couldn't help but notice your beauty tonight from the moment I saw you," I said with a smile and a tone of complete sincerity that made both women blush.

A small silence followed, so I added, "I apologize if my words made you uncomfortable. I just wanted to express my genuine feelings, especially when beauty is accompanied by a soul as pure as yours, supporting the needy without expecting anything in return."

One of the cheesiest lines I've ever said. I want to throw up, but it worked; Director Lee blushed even more. Blushing MILFs are the best.

Her daughter got tired and left, adding, "Congratulations, Mom. I won't have to wait long for a new father. They even come in the same color., even if said father is my age." It seems she really doesn't get along with her mom.

"Sorry, it seems I really caused some discomfort," I said apologetically.

"It's alright; she can be like that sometimes." Finally, she responded without seeming to want to follow her daughter.

...

The tension seemed to gradually dissipate, and Director Lee appeared more relaxed as we continued conversing about various topics related to art, culture, volunteering, or anything that came to mind.

Gradually, our faces showed genuine smiles, and words flowed more smoothly. It was getting chilly, so I offered her my coat, and we continued talking, but this time closer, not caring about the rest of the party.

There was a moment when I had to separate with the excuse of looking for a little more wine. Because it seems that my choice to lighten the atmosphere harmed someone, a man began to touch a girl who seemed uncomfortable and disgusted.

I helped her and reassured her, the man wanted to put on a show, but he was in a hurry so I hit him a little and took her out of there, she wanted to continue talking, but I politely said goodbye to her.

Then look closely and the girl seems to be the daughter of Mrs. Lee and the man... seems to be the girl's uncle, how sick, I'll give him bad luck and erectile dysfunction.

Afterward, I returned with wine and appetizers to continue the conversation. We took so long that people started leaving; the musicians kept playing, so I invited her to a dance.

We danced gracefully and lightly. I altered the atmosphere a bit to make it seem like we were the only two in the room, but to others, we seemed like a happily in-love couple showing off their relationship by arriving at the hall in matching outfits.

The relationship between Director Lee and me became more comfortable and close.

The party finally came to an end, but we promised to meet tomorrow to visit an orphanage together. I didn't want to pressure her too much into having a physical and formal relationship because if I have one, I'd have to tell her everything. She's just come out of a loveless marriage where she was constantly cheated on by anyone; it doesn't seem fair to suddenly throw her into the harem, not yet...

Note:

It's Lee Hyunjeong from the manhwa Hyunjeong's Mansion, do yourself a favor and watch her in ep 12 halfway through.

I realized that I don't describe the characters very much, that's why I wanted to do it a little more in this chapter and... because I like Hyunjeong a lot.
