Who does it belong to?
It...
It belongs to my mom.
But how do you have this?
Four years ago, I picked it up in Ms. Hong's neighborhood.
"Ms. Hong's neighborhood"?
I wasn't sure...
if the person I saw that night was your mother or not.
But I guess she was your mother.
Are you sure it was Ms. Hong's neighborhood?
Yes, I'm sure of it.
Chef.
This is the spoon sterilizer that Director Choi wanted us to buy.
It looks neat.
What do you think?
It's worth the money.
Right? I think it's really hygienic.
Please put these on the tables.
Four years ago, I picked it up in Ms. Hong's neighborhood.
Is this your first time seeing me?
Why do you keep staring at me?
You're here. Did you enjoy the training?
Yes.
Are you sick? You don't look so well.
No, I'm okay.
You should go inside and take some rest.
Ms. Ma, don't you think there's something going on...
between the chef and Dal Nim?
I'm sure there's something going on.
There's nothing going on.
Watch your mouth.
Seeing that Sun Ho picked up the cell phone strap there,
I guess your mother was in Se Na's neighborhood for sure.
Why do you think she went there?
To meet Se Kang?
Other than that, she would have no reason to go there.
Then I guess that's why she went there.
It's weird that everything is connected to...
to Se Kang.
Let's not jump to conclusions.
Your case was still on trial back then,
so she could've went to discuss something with him.
Let's listen to the voice message that my mom left you.
Jae Wook. Jae Wook!
Her voice sounds way to anxious and urgent...
for someone who went there to discuss my trial.
Do you think something could've suddenly happened to her?
I think we should first...
ask Sun Ho about what happened that night.
And let's also check with Mr. Hong.
Okay.
Don't think too negatively.
We're slowly finding bits and pieces of your mother's traces.
I'm sure we'll be able to find her soon.
(Lawyer Oh)
Hello?
Hey, Lawyer Oh. Why did you call me?
The email? Okay, okay.
Okay, I'll take care of it. Thank you.
Who's Lawyer Oh?
She's a new recruit.
Why would she call you at this hour?
Our team has a lot of work to do. She asked me to check an email.
Is it a woman?
- Yes. - Is she married?
How old is she? Forget all that.
Is she pretty?
Why are you interrogating me like that?
Is she pretty or not?
I told you to respect my privacy.
And I want you to stop answering my calls.
What? Why do you act like we're strangers?
I was nice enough to answer the phone for you.
My gosh, you've changed so much.
You're really tiring me out.
Oh, that's right. I'm someone who tires you out.
What's wrong with you? Do you want me to sleep on the floor again?
I was going to forgive you, but I really don't think I can.
Honey, I can't sleep here because it hurts my back.
Then go outside and sleep on the sofa.
How can I do that? Your grandmother and parents will see me.
- Just get out of here. - Wait.
- I said get out of here! - Gosh, that hurts.
- Honey. - Get out of this room.
Ruby.
- What are you doing here? - What?
I came in because I was passing by.
But Se Kang isn't in his office. Has he gone somewhere?
He must be in a meeting.
Do you want to have tea with me until he comes back?
Shall we do that?
You can go first. I'll go after I take this call.
Okay.
Hello, sir.
What's your problem?
Hurry up and get to the point before anyone sees us.
Okay.
Ruby, let's just go to my office.
Why?
There are too many people in the lounge.
- I see. - Let's go.
Okay.
Ruby, what kind of tea would you like?
- Forget about that. Just sit down. - Okay.
Do you know a person called Lawyer Oh in the legal team?
"Lawyer Oh"?
Se Kang got a call from her, and I picked it up.
Oh, Lawyer Oh? Yes, I know that person.
Is she married?
Well, she recently got divorced.
She recently got divorced?
That makes it more dangerous.
What do you mean?
What? No, it's nothing.
My gosh, look at the time. I'll be late for my next appointment.
- Really? You should go then. - Yes, I should. Bye.
Se Kang, I saved your life today.
Did you or did you not...
meet my mom in your neighborhood four years ago?
This is so out of the blue. What are you saying?
Before my mom disappeared, she went to your neighborhood.
What are you trying to say? Just get to the point.
Director Choi told me that he saw my mom in your neighborhood that day.
He picked up the cell phone strap that my mom had dropped.
He kept it with him until now, and he recently gave it to me.
So what is it that you want to know?
Did you meet my mom or not?
My gosh. I didn't meet her.
I didn't even know that your mom was in my neighborhood that day.
Are you telling the truth? Did you really not meet her?
You've started to become suspicious of everything.
Stop writing novels in your head.
Then why would she have gone to your neighborhood?
Back then,
we used to meet each other almost every day because of your trial.
She must've come to see me at first, but I guess she didn't get to.
- If not... - What?
Maybe she just wanted to see me one last time...
before she left.
What's so weird about the fact that your mom came to my neighborhood?
Dal Nim, please stop imagining weird stuff.
Please. I'm begging you.
You're done talking, right?
Now, it's my turn to talk.
- Why did you lie to me? - What do you mean?
You said that you'll never tell anyone about our relationship.
But why did you tell Jae Wook?
Are you really going to betray me like this?
I didn't tell him on purpose.
He saw the two of us talking to each other at the park.
Okay, I'll be nice and let that pass.
But if you ever tell anyone else...
That will never happen.
I'm not keeping our relationship a secret...
for you, Se Kang.
It's for Director Choi's family.
And most of all, Ruby will end up getting hurt if she finds out.
I'm holding myself back from saying anything for them.
If you're done talking, I'm going to go now.
What's going on...
between you and Jae Wook?
What do you mean?
Don't act up thinking that Jae Wook has your back.
Men are all the same.
He may be helping you right now because he pities you, but...
Don't talk rashly when you don't even know anything.
You shouldn't start liking him. You'll regret it in the future.
Mind your own business.
I'll take care of my own feelings.
What did you guys do here?
Are you crazy? This is our company.
Please be careful.
There are so many people watching us.
She's the one who came to me...
with a cell phone strap and asked me if I saw her mom or not.
"Cell phone strap"?
Yes. Sun Ho apparently picked it up in our neighborhood.
So what did you say?
What do you think? I told her that I never met her.
What is wrong with Dal Nim?
We have nothing to do with her mother's disappearance.
Why would she come all the way here to accuse me for nothing?
Se Kang, I'll talk to you later.
What are you doing here?
I came to meet Director Choi.
He's in a meeting right now.
What do you want to talk to him about? You can tell me.
No, I have to talk to Director Choi himself.
I'll come back some other time.
What are you two doing here?
I was waiting for you.
I'd like to have a word with you. Can you spare me some time?
There's a team manager meeting in 10 minutes.
Is 10 minutes enough?
- Yes. - Come on in.
(Director's Office)
Hey, Da Jung.
Right now?
Okay.
I was so confused that I didn't even get to thank you yesterday.
This is really precious to me.
It reminds me of my mother.
Thank you so much.
Did you find out why your mother was in Ms. Hong's neighborhood?
My mom knew someone who lived there.
I think she went there to see that person.
I actually came to ask you something about that.
Do you remember anything more about what happened that night?
Anything will be of help,
so please tell me if you remember anything.
I saw your mother that night and followed her.
That's when I picked up the cell phone strap.
- Then I met Ms. Hong and left. - Se Na.
What are you doing here?
That's all I remember.
You met Ms. Hong that night?
Well...
Do you remember the exact date of that day by any chance?
No, I can't remember.
Anything is fine,
so please tell me if you ever remember anything.
I feel like it'll help me a lot with finding my mother.
Please do me a favor.
- Okay. - Thank you for your time.
I'll go now.
Wait.
You should read this when you have time.
No, it's okay. I don't really like comic books.
Don't look down on comic books.
Do you know how much they help with your imagination?
You need to use your imagination for cooking.
Also, comic books even make you feel better...
if you read them when you're down.
I picked out the best ones, so give them a read.
Well...
Make sure you read them. You won't regret it.
I'm back.
Dal Nim, did you enjoy the training?
Yes.
What's this?
Why do you have comic books?
Did you miss your training and go to a comic book cafe?
She's not like you, Hye Ri.
You have such a corrupt mind.
What did you say?
Where did you get these?
Director Choi lent them to me.
He said they'll help improve my cooking skills.
Although I cannot quite understand why he thinks...
comic books will help me improve.
Why not?
I learned how to cook by reading comic books.
I started gaining interest in cooking while reading a comic book.
Then I made it my profession.
My gosh, I can't believe this.
You learned cooking through comic books?
- Now, I get it. - What do you mean?
What's wrong with my cooking?
It's really bad.
But I'm surprised that Sun Ho let you borrow these.
Why?
These are copies of the first edition,
and he cherishes them the most.
He never lets anyone borrow these.
Really?
Come in.
This is a list to show the sales per menu.
Did your talk with Ms. Oh go well?
Yes.
What did you talk about?
Why?
Am I not allowed to know?
We talked about her mother.
The cell phone strap I showed you before...
actually belonged to Dal Nim's mother.
The person I saw that night in your neighborhood...
turned out to be Dal Nim's mother.
Oh, I see.
But why are you curious about that?
What?
It's just that you and Uncle Se Kang...
seem to be interested in Ms. Oh a lot.
We're just bothered by her. That's all.
No good will come out of getting involved with her.
We should also think about Ms. Yoon.
I know that we're not in very good terms with her,
but she did nothing to harm the company.
I don't want you to act too sensitively towards her.
What do you mean?
I'm asking you not to connect Jae Hee with Ms. Oh anymore.
I want you to treat her...
just like how you treat the other employees.
Are you being like this because she helped you with...
settling a deal with Poongnyun Farm?
I can't deny the fact that she helped me.
You received more help...
from me than you did from her. Don't you think so?
Didn't you just hear what I said?
I told you not to be so sensitive.
Are you quibbling over who gave me more help...
between you and Ms. Oh?
I'm sorry. That's not what I was trying to say.
You should go now.
I said I'm sorry. Please don't be angry.
Okay, I get it. Please leave.
(Director, Choi Sun Ho)
Jae Hee.
I think I need to say goodbye to you now.
It actually might be something you want me to do.
I should let you go in order to make you feel comfortable.
What? A cell phone strap?
Did Sun Ho find out about something or what?
I don't think that's the case.
But are you sure that Jo Byung Soo is guarding her well?
Are you sure we can trust him?
Don't worry.
He's crazy about money right now, so he'll never betray us.
Why didn't you knock before coming in?
You startled me.
You could've let us know that you came.
Why did you have to come in so quietly like a stray cat?
You guys are the ones who are acting like a stray cat.
What were you guys talking about in secret?
You both stopped talking as soon as I came in.
What is it?
It's nothing. We were just talking about a cell phones strap.
Is that really all? I know that's not the truth.
Who's Jo Byung Soo?
I asked you who he is!
He's the guy who didn't pay me back.
You lent someone money?
My gosh, you're so mean.
- Why? - You said you didn't have money.
That's why you asked me to pay for your golf membership.
I had to get a cash advance because of that.
But what? You lent someone money?
I can't believe this.
Se Kang, that's not the problem right now.
Aren't you worried that Dal Nim might pick on us...
regarding that cell phone strap?
Hey, what's there to pick on us about?
What does her mother coming to our neighborhood...
have anything to do with us?
Mom, did you meet Dal Nim's mother?
What? Why... Why would I meet her?
No, I never met her!
Anyway, why did you come here?
What? You're using separate rooms?
Ruby keeps nit-picking at me. I'm so sick and tired of it.
You should've been careful.
This is all because of Dal Nim.
I feel uneasy every single day ever since she showed up.
Ruby hasn't found out about anything, has she?
No, she hasn't.
Mom, can I sleep here tonight?
My back aches from having to sleep on the sofa all the time.
How can she make you sleep on the sofa?
Mom, what are you doing? Are you calling Ruby?
Hello, Ms. Ko.
Would it be okay for me to go visit you tomorrow?
Yes, we can talk about Se Na and Sun Ho's marriage while I'm there.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll talk things out with Ruby tomorrow,
so just hang in there even if it's a little difficult.
Okay, I'll trust that you'll handle everything.
Se Na is so smart and skillful.
She really worked hard to help Sun Ho become the director again.
I'm not saying this just because she's my own daughter.
But she's really intelligent, and she doesn't lack a thing.
There's a reason why Shinhwa Group wanted her as their daughter-in-law.
Are you talking about the blind date she was supposed to go to?
They wanted to set the date again,
but we canceled on them.
Choigo Foods may be a lot smaller than Shinhwa Group.
But I had no other choice...
because she insisted that she wanted to get married to Sun Ho.
No parent can win a fight against their children.
Well, you must also know that Taesung Group...
wanted to have Sun Ho as their son-in-law.
Their daughter kept insisting that...
she wanted to get married to him.
To be honest, your family isn't as impressive as...
Taesung Group's family,
but we just decided to focus on the person, not the family.
That's also our family custom.
Yes, of course. What matters is the person, not the family.
By the way, I heard you got a refund on that handbag.
Pardon?
Yes.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to put that on the list of wedding gifts.
It's okay. My mother-in-law doesn't like expensive wedding gifts.
A handbag isn't expensive.
You can finally use this chance to own one.
It must be hard for you to...
do all the housework by yourself in such a big house.
It was hard at first,
but I got used to it after a while.
Se Na will continue to work even after she gets married.
I'm just worried that it might get harder for you.
You said it's your family's custom to...
have the kids move out of the house after living with them for a year.
My gosh.
Is she telling me to be a housekeeper or what?
Don't worry, Mother.
Eun Jung will do all the housekeeping.
She'll even take care of their babies.
She's the queen of housekeeping.
Right, Eun Jung?
Well, I'm...
Then I guess I have nothing to worry about.
Eun Jung's really good at housekeeping.
Se Na only needs to focus on...
taking good care of Sun Ho and continue working at the company.
Come here and sit down, Ruby.
Why? What do you want to talk to me about?
I heard you guys sleep separately these days.
Why would you do that?
Mother, let me tell you while we're on the subject.
Se Kang's been acting weird lately.
He always showed me his cell phone, and he never kept secrets from me.
But he suddenly banned me from looking at his cell phone...
saying that it's his privacy.
And he even goes out secretly at night.
Do you think he's seeing another woman?
My gosh.
He'd never do such a thing.
The only woman he loves...
is you.
That's what I thought until now.
That's why you should hurry up and get pregnant.
A married couple should have a baby...
in order to perfect their relationship.
Se Kang may not show it,
but deep down inside, he really wants to have a baby.
Do you understand?
We should buy your mother-in-law...
a handbag as a wedding gift.
I heard she ended up getting a refund.
By the way, she tried to make us feel small by mentioning...
Taesung Group.
How did you react to that?
You know I'm not the type to get pushed around.
You should know when to push and pull when you're doing business.
But that also applies for marriage too.
Do you know how hard I tried not to get pushed around...
when Se Kang got married?
I'll acknowledge that.
By the way, aren't you meeting Yi Ran tomorrow?
Yes. Sun Ho and I are going to go see her together.
What do you think she'll get you for your wedding?
Do you think she'll get you a new car?
Is that a bit too much?
I don't want a lousy car.
I want her shares of Choigo Foods.
"Her shares of Choigo Foods"?
In order to become the madam of Choigo Foods,
I need to have power.
Just wait and see.
I'm going to take everything she intended to do...
for Jae Hee.
See?
This ring also ended up becoming mine.
Congratulations on becoming the director again.
Thank you.
I expect a lot from you as the largest shareholder of Choigo Foods.
I'll help you with everything I can, so I hope you do your best.
Okay, I'll do my best.
You should get ready for your wedding now.
When do you plan to get married?
Both our families want us to get married quickly,
but I think we should get married after he settles in.
What do you guys want as your wedding gift?
It's okay. You don't have to get us anything.
What are you talking about?
How can I do nothing for my daughter's wedding?
Did you forget?
We agreed to treat each other like mother and daughter.
If you haven't thought of anything, you can tell me next time.
May I really do that?
Of course. I want to do everything I can for you.
Thank you, Mother.
Let's go eat now.
I made a reservation at a nice restaurant.
Okay, let's go.
Isn't...
Jae Hee also supposed to be in this photo?
Yes, you're right.
But I spilled coffee on this photo,
and it got stained.
So I had no choice but to cut her out.
I see.
Mother, you must be hungry. Let's go.
Okay.
Wasn't the food really nice?
We should go there again with your parents.
No. What do you think about doing a family meeting there?
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
Did Jae Hee also know...
that you liked me before she did?
No, she didn't know.
How could she know when I never told her?
Why didn't you tell her?
It was for you and Jae Hee.
I sincerely wanted you two to be happy.
I was happy enough to be able to remain by your side...
as your friend.
You guys were someone I loved and cared about.
That's why I didn't tell her.
But...
why do you suddenly want to know...
if she knew about it or not?
I've just always wanted to ask you.
Do you think I don't know why?
You're worried that...
Jae Hee might've suffered if she knew about my feelings.
That's why you asked.
Am I wrong?
You still care...
more about Jae Hee than me, don't you?
You're not even worried about how hard it must've been for me.
You're just worried that Jae Hee might've gone through a hard time.
But you could still...
have the courtesy to ask me at least once...
about how I felt,
and how difficult it must've been.
I'm going to leave now.
Excuse me.
You're that peanut lady.
"Peanut"?
I really enjoyed the peanut bread...
you gave me last time.
I just called you "Peanut lady" because you seemed...
very firm and sweet like a peanut.
I like that nickname.
You didn't eat lunch yet, did you?
Let's eat together.
I brought a lunch box.
A lunch box?
My gosh, it's okay.
It's your lunch box. I shouldn't eat what's yours.
I even packed a serving for you. There's more than enough.
But I'm not sure if you'll like the side dishes though.
Try it.
My goodness.
You're a really good cook.
You seasoned it perfectly. It tastes delicious.
I'm glad you like it.
You can eat a lot.
- Have this too. - By the way,
do you work at this company?
No, I work at a franchise restaurant.
I came here to receive training.
Oh, I see.
Ma'am, you should try this too. Here.
You should eat too.
I'm suddenly so curious of this.
What kind of food do you think the chairwoman eats?
She probably has her own personal chef, right?
I've seen on TV where a group of chefs wait in line...
until the rich person gives them orders on what to cook.
You've watched way too many dramas.
There's no personal chef.
She eats rice with soup and five side dishes.
She eats the same thing as any other person.
I think you're wrong.
In dramas, rich people always have...
a lot of housekeepers who work for them.
She doesn't have any housekeepers.
Her daughter-in-law does everything.
She usually eats with five side dishes,
and she eats with seven side dishes if there's a special event.
But how do you know all that?
What?
I heard it from the employees.
Oh, I see.
Then do you think the chairwoman's family uses the seasoning from...
Choigo Foods or from another brand?
The seasoning from Choigo Foods...
contains artificial additives.
So they probably use natural seasoning made by another company.
Even if they have their own line of seasoning,
they probably use a better one since they're rich. Don't you think so?
Just because they have their own line of seasoning...
doesn't mean they're obligated to use that one.
They advertise to the consumers that their seasoning...
are tasty and healthy.
But it's hypocritical to think that the ones who made it...
are actually using one from another brand because of their health.
It also feels like they're deceiving their consumers.
What do you think?
What?
Yes, you're right. They're deceiving us.
What's this?
Ms. Hong ripped that and threw it away in the trash can.
I gathered the ripped pieces and put them back together.
This photo...
Wait a second.
The photo was originally taken with Jae Hee.
But why is she not in this photo?
I think she cut Jae Hee out with a scissor or a knife.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Se Na's smart for nothing.
There's no point in being loyal to someone you can never have.
She'll just end up getting abandoned.
She's so caught up in love.
Does Se Na like someone?
She'll never have a chance with the person she likes?
Who is that person?
Forget it. You don't need to know.
What are you thinking about?
I think...
Ms. Hong started liking Director Choi from a long time ago.
Then are you thinking that Se Na cut Jae Hee out of the photo...
because she was jealous of her?
Yes, I think that could be a possibility.
I don't think that's the case.
I heard from my mother that...
Se Na only started to like Sun Ho after Jae Hee died.
Then why do you think she cut her out of the photo?
Were Ms. Hong and Ms. Jung on bad terms?
They were best friends.
They grew up with each other ever since they were little.
They were like sisters.
I see.
Do you remember the exact date of that day by any chance?
I'd like to call Mr. Choi Sun Ho out as a witness.
I'm going to keep an eye on you...
and see how your life will end up like.
What's the point in looking for the ring now?
That ring doesn't even have an owner anymore.
Who put this ring here?
Ms. Hong came by earlier and left it there.
Se Na.
What are you doing here?
I heard that you're the one who put this on my desk.
I picked it up and kept it with me.
The ring and the cell phone strap.
It was on that day.
(Sweet Enemy)
Long time no see, Se Na.
I'm going to tell Sun Ho everything.
I was going to beat him up because I thought he was a black box thief.
I heard Uncle Se Kang got mistaken as a black box thief. What happened?
Ms. Oh isn't the kind of person you think she is.
Sun Ho!
Se Na.
Was it you?
