(The Women's Room)
Excuse me.
I'm the former vice president.
I was told I left something behind.
Good to see you again.
Why are you sitting there?
Because this is my position.
I'm the new vice president of this hotel!
(Vice President Eun Hee-soo)
I am the new vice president of this hotel now.
You...
Hee-soo...
Is this what you wanted?
Do you see now how our status has changed?
It's all your doing!
You set our house on fire and stole my dad's secret ledgers.
Watch what you're saying!
You shouldn't accuse me without any evidence.
I'll reveal everything that you've done.
I'll tell the world...
And who will believe you?
The world only believes the ones with power.
Who has the power now between you and me?
Let's go to the police.
Don't make me laugh!
Do you still think you're the vice president...
and the heiress to this hotel?
You're nothing.
Learn your placed and status. And live within your means.
I won't forgive you.
This is the vice president's office.
I have someone harassing me here.
Please take care of this.
What?
Take care of this?
I'm sorry, Ms Eun.
Let me go!
I said let me go!
Let go!
Let go of me!
Let go!
Let go of me!
Are you okay, Kyung-chae?
How dare they?
Kyung-chae!
How much longer must I wait?
She's not happy right now.
I recommended you for the vice president position...
and she got upset with me.
I never asked to be the vice president.
I just want to return to my place.
The president's seat will remain vacant,
but Hee-soo took the vice president's seat.
Pardon?
Hee-soo became the vice president?
You did your best against Mr Min.
But I think this is where you end.
What are you talking about?
You promised to reinstate me if I blow the whistle on Mr Min.
I wanted to do that.
But I may lose my position if I try to take you with me.
She hates Mr Min and she found out that you once dated his daughter.
That got her really upset.
I'm sorry but give it up.
Then you shouldn't have made the promise in the first place.
You knew about her from the beginning.
I told you to break up with her from the beginning.
Don't you remember?
I'm sorry about this too.
Mummy.
Don't go without me.
Eun-chae.
What should I do now?
What should I do?
Let's go to the police.
Don't make me laugh!
Do you still think you're the vice president...
and the heiress to this hotel?
You're nothing.
Learn your place and status. And live within your means.
Eun Hee-soo.
I'm going to ruin you with my own hands.
What is your wish, Mum?
My wish?
That you become the president of the hotel.
And that we live in an elegant and luxurious house like Mr Min's.
Can't I even dream?
One must dream big.
They fired me from my manager's position.
What did you say?
How can you get fired already!
They fired me as the manager and promoted me to vice president.
Well, as long as you have a job.
Who cares if you're the manager or the vice president...
Hee-soo!
They're making an official announcement soon.
You should've seen Kyung-chae get kicked out of the hotel.
Kyung-chae has been kicked out?
Oh my!
I guess one can't be sure of their future.
She once had everything and now she's empty-handed?
And no one can mistreat me from now on.
Does that mean I'm the mother of...
the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel?
Yes, you are.
Yes.
Can we meet?
I've something to say.
You feel sorry for her?
Who do you feel sorry for?
You mindless idiot!
You can feel sorry for anyone but her!
- What? - Are you going to keep this up?
Grandma is sick right now.
What?
Give her some medicine.
Grandma, he's not even budging.
Could you tell that I was lying?
I won't let anyone destroy Kyung-chae.
I'm going to stand against that person...
and stop her from hurting Kyung-chae.
I can't let Kyung-chae be.
I got fired from the hotel.
Did you know?
No, I just assumed.
With your dad like that, I knew they wouldn't leave you alone.
Hee-soo became the vice president.
I don't know how she rose to that position.
How can she change like that overnight?
Perhaps she hasn't changed.
She probably was hiding her true self.
I want to reveal the truth about her when I think about my mum.
I'm sure Hee-soo caused the fire.
But nothing is proven, so don't get too excited about this.
It's even a bigger loss if you lose your health.
I'm glad you're with me.
I'm sorry about my dad.
It's okay.
I know he did it for his daughter.
I understand him.
She hates Mr Min and found out that you once dated his daughter.
That got her really upset.
I told you to break up with her from the beginning.
Don't you remember?
Stay strong.
Thank you.
- Eun Hee-soo? - The manager?
Is the vice president?
- I knew there was something. - She's something else.
- I knew it. - How do you think she did it?
Chef Jin.
(Announcement of personnel appointment)
(Eun Hee-soo Manager to Vice President)
I won't disappoint you, Mrs Na.
I know this wasn't an easy decision for you.
I'll visit you soon and explain my plans.
How did this happen?
I'll call you back later.
Don't you even know how to knock?
Is that good enough?
I'm asking why you're sitting there.
Didn't you see the official announcement?
The board approved of this and officially announced it.
I don't appreciate this attitude from you.
That's why I'm asking.
How can a mere manager be promoted...
to vice president with the board's support?
Please share your secret with me.
What is this attitude towards your superior?
It'll work against you to treat me like you treated Kyung-chae.
I'm not as soft-hearted or easy-going.
I'm not Kyung-chae.
You may leave.
It's still before the official promotion.
The executive family gets kicked out overnight.
You can't be too sure of your position.
Who knows what will happen to you?
So stop acting like...
the vice president before the official promotion.
Jin Soo-hyuk.
If you keep this up, you'll share Kyung-chae's fate.
Dad.
Ji-sub is a good man.
He doesn't blame you for what happened to him...
and even shows concern and comforts me.
I hope you can see what a good man he is.
Kyung-chae.
I'm hungry.
What did you say?
Eun-chae is hungry.
I'm really hungry.
I'm sleepy but can't fall asleep because I'm so hungry.
Right.
You are hungry.
I'm sorry for not taking care of you.
Let's go and eat something.
You don't have money, Kyung-chae?
What?
Yes.
I said I'm hungry.
I'm hungry.
Eun-chae is really hungry.
Eun-chae.
I'm so sorry.
I won't make you go hungry ever again.
Never.
Never again.
Are you crying, Kyung-chae?
No, I'm not.
I'm not crying.
Don't worry.
Are you aware of Hee-soo's promotion?
I'm sure the board couldn't do anything...
since someone is behind them.
I want to work at the hotel.
Can you help me?
I'll do anything.
Whatever I can do...
No, it can be anything, so please help me.
At the hotel?
Since you have the hiring power for the kitchen, can you help me?
I need to pay the hospital bills and also make a living.
I really need a job.
I've been so engrossed in my sadness.
But I came to my senses when my sister cried out of hunger.
From now on, I'll be thinking about how I'm going to make it.
I'm so happy for you.
Why don't you report to work from tomorrow?
I'll make a position for you.
But are you sure you can do it?
I have to!
What is this?
This was delivered to you.
Congratulations on your promotion.
You're more competent than I thought.
Did you get my flowers?
I just got them.
You picked all my favourites as if you read my mind.
I'm glad.
I was worried you may not like them.
Do you want to please me?
I wonder why all of a sudden.
I guess you couldn't get your position back.
Did you have faith in Director Oh?
You're too naive to have trusted him.
Should we meet tonight at the bar?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if I have time.
The workload for a vice president is heavier than I imagined.
I don't want to do a sloppy job like Kyung-chae.
I'll be waiting.
I'm adding more staff in the kitchen.
Aren't you missing something?
What do you mean?
Why aren't you addressing me as the vice president?
Please take a look at this, Ms Eun.
I need more staff in the kitchen.
You're in charge of hiring for the kitchen.
But you're such a thorn in my side.
I wonder why I'm a thorn in your side.
Isn't it because I know too much about you?
How much do you know about me?
I've caught you too many times doing things you shouldn't be doing.
Like your relationship with Mr Han.
Your calling yourself Kyung-chae's friend but behaving otherwise.
Do you take me so lightly?
No, I don't take you lightly.
In fact, I think you're something else.
I even respect you in some ways.
I'm warning you.
If you ever act cocky towards me again,
I won't let it pass.
I'm glad to hear that you'll be working at the hotel again.
I'm not sure yet.
But I thought they fired you.
Hey, don't.
Well, it's the truth.
You're not the vice president anymore...
so what is your position now?
Who cares what her position is?
It's important that she got a job.
Why are you speaking informally to her?
She's no longer rich.
That's when Mr Min was the president.
She's been fired and is penniless.
She may be worse off than us. To be addresses so respectfully...
Stop it.
Please ignore her mindless talk.
You can go now.
We'll take good care of Eun-chae.
I'll come by often, so be a good girl, okay?
You're so great.
How can you be promoted to vice president...
right after Kyung-chae got fired?
How would you like to have this great woman as yours?
It will be my honour.
- But... - Kyung-chae ...
will never be anywhere near the hotel.
She was pitifully kicked out.
Unless you go to her, she won't be anywhere near you.
I'm next to you, so your eyes should only be on me.
They'll have to be.
My eyes have always been on you.
You only gave me a glance,
while your eyes focused on Kyung-chae.
From now on, look at only me and listen to only me.
I have to be the only woman for you.
Is that what's required for me to find a way out?
Isn't that why you asked to meet me?
Because you want to find a way out?
If I ask you to help me, would you?
Gladly.
I'm going to work at the hotel again, Dad.
I won't be the vice president,
but I want to start from the bottom.
Perhaps I should've done that from the beginning.
I should've built my way up...
rather than starting off as the vice president.
If I'd done that,
I'd have known the weight of that position.
You appointed me as the vice president...
and I thought I was made for it.
I was so naive.
Yes, Soo-hyuk.
Come to work starting tomorrow.
I thought you'd be waiting for my call.
It's done?
I told you I'd get you a position here.
I was actually in need of more staff.
Thank you.
Why are you out here?
Were you worried I'd be lost?
Yes, I was worried you wouldn't be able to find your way.
How about your resume?
I have it here.
I was going to take it to the personnel office.
Would you?
I'm kidding.
It must feel strange to be hired as a temp in the kitchen.
Just a little.
But it's refreshing and I'm motivated.
So don't worry about me.
Worry? Who's worried? I'm not worried.
I see today that you're really brave and strong.
Let's go.
You need a shield on the battlefield.
In the kitchen, this is your shield.
Goodness.
Let me help you.
Your job entails room service, assisting the chef, prepping food...
doing the dishes, and a short break.
Would you be okay with this?
I know you'll help me.
I'm not going to help you.
I'm just going to watch you.
That's how you become good at this.
I got it.
It's hot!
Geez, is everyone in town having meat?
We've been so busy.
It's good to be busy but my whole body aches.
I wonder what Eun-chae is doing.
Oh my! Who's this?
Aren't you the vice president?
We were so sad to hear that you got fired.
I'm so glad to see you again.
How have you been?
We've been well.
What about you?
How have you been?
Well...
How can you be well when they fired you...
and took away your position like that?
How is your son who was hospitalised?
Because you paid for the hospital bills,
he was treated and is home now.
I'm so glad to hear that.
Why are you here?
I started working in the kitchen today.
What? In the kitchen?
Who hired you?
The chef hired me.
Don't you know that he does the hiring for the kitchen staff?
What?
The chef?
Get back to work!
I'll catch you later, Vice President Min.
Stop right there.
How dare you call her the vice president!
Who's the vice president here?
What are you doing?
Follow me.
Talk to me here.
I said follow me.
Why are you back here?
Why shouldn't I?
It's not your hotel.
You should've stayed low after causing so much damage to the hotel.
How dare you crawl back in here?
Watch what you say.
Your being the vice president doesn't give you...
the right to say whatever you want.
This is why people don't address you properly.
What did you say?
How dare you talk to me like that?
If you're the vice president, then act like one.
You're acting like some back alley gangster.
Min Kyung-chae, how dare you?
Title alone doesn't command respect.
You don't move your staff with authority.
You do it with understanding and tolerance.
Then again, you don't have such qualities.
I know how you are.
That witch!
Good job, Kyung-chae.
Keep this up from now on.
Call in the chef right now.
I'm so busy and she's calling for me.
What can I do for you, Ms Eun?
Did you hire Kyung-chae?
Yes, I told you we needed more staff.
You threw the approval list at me, remember?
Fire her right now!
There are plenty of others we can hire.
Are you out of your mind?
No, I'm in my right mind.
There's no reason Kyung-chae can't be hired.
She's fully qualified.
Her being Kyung-chae is the disqualification!
You're being too emotional.
I have the hiring authority for the kitchen.
And I hired the needed people.
Your request exceeds your power.
If you have nothing else, I'm really busy right now.
Those two!
What did Hee-soo say?
She praised me for hiring you.
And asked me to promote you as a permanent hire.
Don't joke with me.
What she said doesn't matter.
What matters is how you take it.
I have a feeling this will happen quite frequently.
Are you going to be affected every time?
It'll be too tiring.
Ignoring her is one way to deal with this.
I guess I'll be facing this often.
Can you endure... No, are you ready for this fight?
If I have to fight, yes, I'm ready!
Wow, that's the best thing you've ever said!
I think I should write it down!
What shall we do first...
Min Kyung-chae.
So you're back.
What are you scheming?
Let's see how much you can take.
It's me, Ji-sub.
Let's meet tonight.
There's a party setup request for room 708.
Hee-soo ordered you to set it up.
Would you be okay?
Room 708?
It's okay. I'll do it.
No, I'll do it.
The apron looks good on you.
Thanks.
You can go now.
You better be good to me tonight.
I asked the board to reinstate you today.
Where are you, Ji-sub?
I'm in a meeting with the hotel people.
I'm busy.
Do you have something important to say?
No, I just wanted to hear your voice.
Go back to your meeting.
I've something to tell you, Ji-sub.
I'm back at the Mona Lisa Hotel.
Room 708 wants more wine.
I'll take it.
The door is open.
You can come in.
Here is your wine.
