Your one minute is over.
I'll give you one more minute.
What did you just do?
I made your dress...
look more beautiful.
Stand up.
Pierre is a brand that introduced minimalism to fashion.
There are strictly no adornments,
and even no sewing was used.
Dresses that are completely seamless.
This dress is your masterpiece...
that represented innovation...
in the history of fashion.
So you wanted to demonstrate your understanding...
and respect for my dress,
which is why you styled her...
so that my dress becomes the sole focus of attention...
from head to toe. Is that it?
I find this woman offensive.
She ruined our dinner.
You're the one who ruined the dinner.
You made me lose my appetite...
with your lack of style.
I'm sorry for interrupting your dinner.
Have a seat. I don't mind entrances like this.
It's quite intriguing.
Do you remember the interview which you said...
that you want to work with a Korean fashion brand...
and launch a collaboration brand with them?
I have a design collection.
My grandfather, who had run an apparels company...
left me these posthumous designs.
The concept is elegant simplicity.
I thought it matched your philosophy regarding your designs.
I really like...
the look in your eyes.
Sorry?
It's enough to make me want to see whether my work...
and your collection will be a good fit. It's nice.
Thanks to you,
My dinner here was ruined.
Let's talk somewhere else.
I think you should pay there.
You should apologize...
for ruining my date.
These are the contracts...
other apparels companies who did collaborations with Pierre signed.
He always got enormous royalty payments.
Not only is Pierre Jang a gifted designer,
but he's clearly an incredible businessman too.
The deal may be too burdensome.
It'll help market the brand,
but we may not make a profit due to the high royalties.
Not a single brand that did a collaboration...
with Pierre Jang's premium line have failed.
The garments were incredibly expensive,
and they made the customers open their wallets freely.
We need this for our Bella project.
Keep watching.
Pierre Jang is with Se Yun.
They finished eating, and they are getting drinks.
Didn't he agree...
to do the collaboration with us and not Se Yun for that villa in Greece?
Pierre Jang is a honed and suave salesman.
I didn't think he could be won over with that villa in Greece.
He had been staying low...
while he was here in Korea,
but now,
he'll probably line up the companies...
and weigh his options for the collaboration.
He'll probably work with...
the company that gives him more than the house.
Se Yun must be trying to make a deal...
with the posthumous designs.
What could she be offering?
They're getting drinks.
Se Yun has cheapened herself because she's blinded by her revenge.
Talented and beautiful women...
have always been precious muses to me.
Top models, artists, and actresses.
Sometimes even designers.
Not only are you talented and beautiful,
you also have a feel that I like.
You work hard to get what you want.
It's very alluring.
My apologies.
Places like this make me uncomfortable.
If you don't want to discuss work, I'd like to leave.
You can't force your feelings onto someone else.
I apologize.
Please take it as a compliment that you are a great person.
We need to meet again to discuss business.
I'll contact you with a time and place.
Thank you.
The next time you see me,
please show some respect.
Pardon?
Your outfit...
is overly naive for someone who wants to discuss...
an important fashion business matter.
I'm sure you know that.
Did your talk go well?
We're going to meet again.
Don't come to a place like this next time.
A place like this?
A business contract...
must be entered into at a mutually agreed upon location.
If one side unilaterally makes plans at a bar...
or changes plans, and if you agree to that,
it makes it clear who is the dominating party.
This wasn't about entering into a contract...
but just an apology...
for ruining his dinner.
When I see Pierre Jang again,
what must I wear to show proper respect?
Can you teach me?
Okay.
I was happy to hear that you liked the villa...
that my wife had prepared for you.
Thank you...
for accepting our small gift.
I'm a very cautious man.
I don't sign a contract just because of someone's small act of kindness.
We wouldn't have tried to win you over...
with such a small act of kindness.
Please tell us what you'd like.
I'd like to get to know you better.
Would you throw me a party at your home?
Of course. It will be a great time.
Okay.
Let's discuss the collaboration after the visit to your house.
I'd like to tour the office while I'm here.
I'll lead you.
Let's start with the design office.
This is our design office.
Hello.
This makes the fit look more elegant.
Try the other side yourself.
What do you think?
It looks much better.
Se Yun is a very talented designer.
She's very attractive as well,
and she knows how to use that.
You should be careful.
She's very cunning...
and manipulative.
I'm glad. I'm not into women who are complicated...
and difficult.
This is the status of the Bella project.
It's progressing very quickly.
I need to rush too.
What is your gut feeling...
about Pierre Jang?
He seemed kind of sleazy and like a player...
when we were at the bar,
but I was wrong. He is friendly,
and I can learn a lot from him.
I'm confident now...
that I can win him over to my side if I convince him...
that the posthumous designs are superior to the Bella designs.
The next time I see him,
I need to persuade him for sure.
I'll tell you how you should dress...
when you meet with him.
Okay.
A black two-piece.
The skirt must be as long as possible.
Wear as little makeup as possible.
When you speak with him,
avoid smiling too much.
He criticized my previous outfit for being too casual.
If I dress this way,
wouldn't it seem too dreary?
I'm just saying what I found out.
They say this is the French etiquette...
for how to dress for business meetings.
Hello?
Yes. Okay.
Pierre Jang sent me the time and place of our meeting.
When and where is it?
Tomorrow...
at Grandpa's house.
I plan to have a house party.
Whom are you inviting?
An important business partner.
He enjoys western cuisine and is familiar with fancy parties.
Please prepare luxurious foods.
Okay. I'll give it extra attention.
Myung Hwan and I...
will pretend to be a happy couple that night.
Be respectful to him.
What?
That jerk and I...
are still legally married.
If it gets out that we aren't happy together,
it'll be a nuisance all around.
Do you really want...
to fake being happily married to Myung Hwan,
that monster, again?
Gyung Hye. Don't do it.
I'm not asking you to help me do something bad.
I'm trying to accomplish something for the company...
and build up my authority...
so that I can kick Myung Hwan out of the company and my life.
Help me this time.
Please.
Fine.
But...
tell me everything.
How will you kick Myung Hwan?
What is your plan? Tell me everything.
That way, I can help you to make sure...
you succeed with your plan.
- Here. - Here you go.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
- Thank you. Enjoy. - Thank you.
Come again.
Let's take a break too.
Would you like coffee?
No. You should sit down and rest too.
Kkot Nim, I need to go to the hospital...
to see Se Yun's birth mom when things are slow here.
Isn't HQ coming to check the restaurant later?
That's right. I almost forgot.
I'll go.
Woong wanted to go too,
so I'll pick him up from the house and take him.
Thank you so much.
If you really consider me family, don't say that.
I'm hurt.
My kindhearted Kkot Nim.
I'll be right back.
Is she Auntie Se Yun's mom?
Then she's my grandma?
Yes.
Hello. I'm Kkot Nim.
I'm Woong.
She keeps sleeping.
She hurt her head, so she's unconscious.
I'm going to make her a cold compress,
so wait here, okay?
Okay. I'll massage Grandma's legs.
Okay.
Does that feel good, Grandma?
I'll sing you a song.
It'll all work out
It'll all be good
Grandma, are you awake?
I thought she woke up, but she went back to sleep.
I'm back.
Hush. Grandma went back to sleep.
Okay. Let's make her comfortable.
Change into that.
I got you a suit to match my dress.
We're supposed to be a couple in love.
We should at least have wedding rings.
They are quite late.
Thank you for having me over.
Not at all. Thank you for coming.
This is my date.
You should've told us if you were bringing a date.
It's fine.
Thank you for coming.
This is so sweet.
Gathering around with our family every night...
and having watermelon together like this is true happiness.
You're right. It's a true blessing...
that no one is sick.
I heard you went to visit...
Se Yun's birth mom today.
Yes, with Woong.
I massaged her legs for her.
I sang for her too.
You did? What a good boy.
Auntie Se Yun's birth mom must have been very happy.
But she woke up,
so I had to massage her legs really softly.
- What? - Woong,
What do you mean?
Hold up. Grandma woke up from her sleep?
Yes. I was massaging her legs...
and asked if it felt good,
and she opened her eyes.
- Woong, did you really see that? - What?
Did Grandma really open her eyes?
It's true.
She did this. Like this.
- Oh my gosh. - Dad.
Se Yun's birth mom must have regained consciousness.
Call... Call Se Yun.
- The person you have reached... - She isn't picking up.
Call Mr. Lee then.
He's been helping her lately without ever leaving her side.
What? Mr. Lee?
Why is that jerk...
This isn't the time for that. I'm calling him now.
Let's get over to the hospital.
- Okay. - Yes, let's go.
Hold on. Where's my jacket?
I heard you were getting along with Hyo Jung.
Did she teach you...
to get onto a man's back in order to get what you want?
You think I'd stoop to your level?
I seduced a man...
to come back into this house?
Se Yun. What do you mean?
You're not worth even responding to.
The food looks incredible.
Thank you.
Before we start eating,
I'd like to clear up a misunderstanding.
Ms. Eun believes...
I am your girlfriend...
No.
To be more precise,
she thinks I seduced you...
in order to get what I want...
and became your lover.
I'm offended.
I'd like you to clear up the misunderstanding.
I'm disappointed, Ms. Eun.
- My apologies. It's... - Don't apologize.
A low-level designer came to the vice chairman's house...
as a guest without an invitation...
and insulted me in my bedroom.
I don't think my assumption was so uncalled for.
Se Yun.
Is what she says true?
If I tell you...
exactly what our relationship is,
it'll be easy to understand.
Shall I tell you?
It sounds very intriguing. I'd like to hear it.
Stay calm.
You'll scare Se Yun's mom.
Gosh.
- Se Yun. - Come in.
Your mother woke up.
Mom.
Mom, do you recognize me? Mom.
Your daughter's here.
Mom.
Thank you for waking up.
Mom.
I can't believe she just left.
You must be very offended.
Her evaluations at the company...
are very bad as well.
She's irresponsible and impulsive like you saw today.
That's strange.
Even if I work on a collaboration with Se Yun,
it would be Winners' gain.
Why do I feel like you are unusually competitive toward her?
Must we explain all of our private matters to you?
I'm offended and insulted.
Pierre.
I understand you are an objective and wise businessman...
who think of relationships as purely a matter of give and take.
If that's not true,
I will withdraw my offer to work with you.
I like your attitude.
If you'd pay me this...
on top of the royalties,
I'll sign the contract right away.
Of course, this must be unofficial...
and not taxable.
Is that too difficult?
Then I'll discuss the contract with Se Yun more...
before deciding.
We'll offer you...
- exactly the double of this. - Honey.
In exchange,
don't stall any longer with the contract.
Don't think about making me...
compete with someone like Se Yun, who doesn't even compare.
I'm sorry to say this,
but all we see are reflexes...
and not any physical changes.
There's a good chance they are simply reflexes.
Are you saying she may not...
be fully conscious yet?
We'll have to monitor her and see, but as of now,
we can't say that she regained consciousness.
Let's wait a little longer.
As I told you before, you shouldn't have...
too much hope...
or expectations regarding Ms. Park Soo Ran.
Still. At least she opened her eyes. That's huge.
Let's have hope, Se Yun.
You shouldn't have too much hope or expectations...
regarding Ms. Park Soo Ran.
Pierre.
This is what we found on Pierre Jang as requested.
Are his records from Korea before being adopted correct?
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry for leaving so abruptly without any explanation...
the other night.
It was very effective.
After you left,
Ms. Eun made me an offer that I was very pleased with.
However, it made me want to choose you, Se Yun.
It's been a very long time...
since I met a woman who surprises me.
There's something...
my grandfather said to me.
A happy person makes happy clothes.
When I saw your clothes,
I thought you were a person worthy of respect.
If I am correct,
please look at my grandfather's posthumous designs and then decide.
You're wrong.
I am not worth of respect.
The more money there is, the prettier the woman,
and the more powerful the authority, the more I am drawn in.
If you ask me as a woman,
I will sign any contract you wish.
However, if you make a business offer,
I'll sign with Ms. Eun Gyung Hye.
There will be a big party tonight.
I'd like to introduce you as my woman.
If you accept my offer,
please come here tonight.
(Ramadis Hotel 9pm)
Pierre Jang...
asked to see me tonight.
- But... - Hold on.
Let me revise my advice on how to dress for your meetings.
Your attire...
is an important way to express yourself in a business setting.
If you'd take my advice...
and wear a long black suit with no makeup,
you'll fail in branding yourself.
Wear this when you meet with Pierre Jang.
It will give off a beautiful impression.
You will be able...
to win the collaboration contract.
Okay.
Thank you for getting me the dress.
- Are you here? - Yes.
The party's on the 18th floor.
Let's meet in front of the elevator.
Please come quickly.
I can't be...
your husband or the father of your child,
but I will become the shadow...
of Winner's future owner, Hong Se Yun.
(Mysterious Personal Shopper)
I think we should send...
Mom's things to that house.
I never got to give her a good life, but it's goodbye now.
The factory manager came back?
Se Yun's birth mom will be living with us?
Hyo Jung called a press conference.
You were barely appointed the business manager.
How could you be involved in a scandal?
Myung Hwan. Thank you for helping me come to my senses.
