I'm going to reveal you're the one behind recipe leak and then...
...I'll be back to CE. So let's fight all the way.
I'll never give up.
Don't waste time on useless things. Instead, take what really matters.
Today... Empty your desk.
You have to leave and we have to work.
My own daughter will strangle my neck.
Then do I have to trample on her more to survive?
Did you even talk to her about studying abroad?
She's not the type to accept such an offer anyways.
Get out.
Mom, isn't it too harsh to let her go like this?
I said get out.
-What are you doing? -Shouldn't you return your employee ID?
What were you going to steal again by sneaking in here with this?
You really think I stole the recipe?
You also know who's done it, right? You pretend not to know, right?
I don't care who did it as long as you disappear.
Did you wait for me?
Sowon left while you were in a meeting.
Leave?
She took her things and left the company.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Sowon.
How did you know I was here?
Are you alright?
Of course not. I just got fired from a job.
Why did you leave? You should've waited for me.
I had to leave for other people to work.
Let's talk over tea somewhere.
You have another meeting soon. You should go back.
I'll be done after this meeting.
Text me later. I'll be there as soon as I get out.
Okay. I'm the saddest unemployed today so treat me big, okay?
Are you saying my mom will hit a jackpot?
She's not working now but she was born with Midas touch.
Whatever she lays her hands on hits a jackpot?
She could like earn ten folds if she does a business?
Yes, that's right.
Then...$230k investment will turn into $2.3 million?
She sure is decisive and has a drive like a bulldozer.
Well, better than hearing she's bound to fail.
Wait.
-I asked you earlier, remember? -You mean marital compatibility?
Geez. That's why I didn't want to come here.
Let's check if we're compatible while we're here. You were curious too.
No, I wasn't. I'm sure she'll say I'll live in comfort thanks to you.
It's the opposite. He has a fate of a king.
What?
And you lady are bound to be a freeloader all your life.
What?
You should grab onto this man all you can.
If you lose this man, you'll live a single all your life.
A freeloader and a single all my life?
Forget it. You're a fake. Let's go. Get up.
Wait. One more thing.
How many children will we have?
I haven't seen you guys in a long while.
You go to that new restaurant these days, aren't you?
I'll break both of your legs if you keep going there.
Don't worry.
Waiting for someone?
With that pretty face. Why drink alone at this hour?
I know.
A husband or a lover? What do I care?
You ran out of appetizers. Order one more?
-I'll have the most expensive one. -Really?
I like you, girl. Hold on just a few minutes.
Here. Drink.
I didn't expect you'd be here.
I just thought of her.
Maybe because it was my birthday recently.
Have appetizers with drink, Mother.
Get out of my sight if you don't want to steal my appetite.
I won't eat or look whatever you made.
She rarely drinks. Why didn't you stop her?
I'm sorry. I should've stopped her.
Did she have a bad day?
No.
Then it was a happy drink?
She'll have hangover when she gets up. Don't make her get drunk again, please.
Something's definitely wrong with Sowon.
What do you mean?
Mother seems to hate me outright over Sowon.
Maybe she's upset over firing her.
Fire? She got fired? When?
Yesterday.
Maybe because of that, Mother even thought of sending her to study abroad.
-Study abroad? -We're a family now.
I was thankful to her for caring about your family.
Really?
And this.
It's our marriage registration.
Yes. I filled out everything so you just fill in yours.
Study abroad?
Yes.
People think we did her a special favor by assigning her to Menu Development.
That's why I was stricter with this incident which made Sowon really upset.
Ms. In-law won't accept your offer if Sowon's that upset.
She didn't even accept help with wedding preparation or a house.
I'll persuade her to say yes.
-Mother, I'm going out. -Where from this early morning?
Sukhyun asked me to register our marriage.
Register marriage?
I'll do it for you so you stay home.
No, you must be busy. I'll do it.
I'll do it. You don't have to go out for this.
Why bother register for a marriage when it won't even last.
The most famous school is France. There's one in U.S.A. too.
Sowon majored in English so look into a school in California.
From a language school first and then the culinary school.
I hope she turns her misfortune to her advantage.
I'm sure she'll do a fine job.
Strange.
Seems you're being too generous to her when you used to hate her.
Because she's a family. A family whom you and I cannot ignore.
Family?
Before my marriage, I never imagined you'd become like this.
Thanks for caring about my in-laws.
If you are thankful. Just focus on work, nothing else.
Yes, boss.
Mother thanked you for kimchi.
You didn't have to bring the containers.
Is it okay for you to come here so often?
Nothing to do at home. Our housekeeper does all the work.
-What is Sowon doing? -She went to work of course.
Went to work? She got fired. So where to?
Fired?
You didn't know? She got fired yesterday.
-Who said that? Sukhyun said that? -Yes.
You came here again?
I...came to return containers.
Did you tell Grandmother?
-I... -You didn't even tell her?
I stopped by here before going to spa with her.
Mom, I'll get going.
Enjoy chatting, Mother.
What's this?
-Application for culinary school abroad. -Study abroad?
Mother wants to send Sowon to study abroad.
No thank you. I just want to know why Sowon got fired.
She paid the price for being our in-law.
We were strict to avoid special favor accusation.
Sowon paid price in the process.
Mother wanted to support her study since she felt bad about it. So just send her.
Go study abroad in return for getting fired when she's done nothing wrong?
Think wisely. This is an excellent opportunity for a college drop-out.
Your adopted daughter will lead a different life..
...when she finishes her education.
Persuade her... To expiate your sin.
Expiate my sin? What sin?
What do you know about us to say such rubbish?
Of course I know.
If you regarded her as your own daughter,
would you have rotted her here without even sending her to college?
If she was your own, you would've made her get divorced on her wedding day.
You'd not have her labor for her in-laws and comatose husband for 5 years.
This is for Sowon too. If you don't want these...
Tell Ms. Chair yourself.
Minja Shin!
That's my cookbook.
Yes. I borrowed it from a library. I'm going to read lots of books.
Learning in person at the spot will be a lot faster than reading 100 books.
Sowon. You want to learn real cooking from me?
Could I?
Think about my suggestion if you're looking for a job. now.
-We need a kitchen assistant. -Then hire me. I can start now.
From 5 p.m. to closing. Is that okay?
-Yes, totally fine. -Start working from tomorrow then.
Thank you. Thank you so much, Chef.
What are you so thankful about?
You got a good job.
I was at a loss yesterday. I'm so thankful that I can start working again.
Fine with learning western cuisine from him but you know he likes you, right?
You have to only learn cooking from him.
I'll tell him I have you when I start working. Satisfied?
You liked this one better last time, right?
Lobster is always a fancy menu but I liked the transformation of this pork belly.
Usually we consider pork belly a folksy food.
But with this, it's even perfect as a hotel main menu.
These are all Chef Oh's ideas.
I hope to learn a lot from him and make my own menus.
Yes, Mr. Lee?
Sorry but where is strategy analysis report?
I deleted the file but I need it again.
I left the office in hurry.
I'll be there in a bit. Please check what you need before I get there.
Why did the chicken place order from us?
I care about Ms. In-law's business, you know.
She's not your in-law. Don't you know you two are strangers now?
We'll soon be in-laws again.
It's $16 for three bibimbap.
I ran out of cash. If you can't accept credit card, put it on my tab.
We did before but you never paid us.
I'm going to make sure I get paid today. Give me $16.
You think I'll rip you off on $16?
-I've gotta go. Just give me $16! -Geez.
Hi.
Your mother is refusing to pay me for her food.
Huh?
I ran out of cash.
Here.
She's not your in-law anymore so you should pay from now on.
-Bye. -Gee weez.
What's wrong with you?
Why bother to pay? I've never paid them before.
That's when we had Sowon.
Oh, will Sowon come back to Dawon restaurant if she got fired?
-Fired? Sowon? -Yeah, that's what I heard.
Huh? What on earth happened?
-Do we have a mail? -Yes. A certified letter from the court.
I'll take it. Sowon's my daughter.
Please sign here.
Hyunwoo's really determined to sue her?
We plan to do a full-page ad on magazines from next week.
We should also promote designer brands at our stores in provinces.
I have a couple of reports on that.
You will go see Chef Oh in the afternoon, right?
How about discussing promotional plans there?
I was already there at lunch.
I'll participate in Margot's new product launching show next week.
Oh, did you speak with your father?
I did. He's having cash flow problem but I trust him.
He overcame many of these crisis before.
Yes, Mother.
Sowon received quasi-new trial duplicate of a complaint.
Should I meet Hyunwoo?
Maybe I should persuade him to stop hurting each other.
No. I'll meet him, Mother.
Sorry to make you come here. I had to hand over that report right now. Thanks.
-Call me anytime you need me. -I should say bye here. Thanks, Sowon.
-Okay, bye. -Bye.
Who permitted you to come in here?
I came to hand over some files.
I heard you'll have a trial soon. Don't get Jinhee involved.
Why don't you mind your own business, Ihyun?
Did you say 'Ihyun'?
Fine. Did you give a thought of leaving Jinhee?
If you disappear,
I plan to persuade Ms. Chair to invest in Jinhee's father's company.
Providing their desperately needed investment is all up to you.
You're so...
Jinhee's mother intends to come to Korea again over this.
I wonder how she'd feel if she hears I'm hesitating because of you.
You're looking better everyday.
But maybe because of police interrogation, Sowon looked really gaunt.
I'm worried I'll stress her more with our lawsuit.
Hyunwoo, Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo!
Sowon got fired from her job. Is it good for our trial or not?
What are you talking about? She got fired?
-That's impossible. -Got fired? Why?
I guess she really did something wrong.
How could you say that? Don't you now her?
-Please give me my phone, Mr. JI. -Okay.
Did you enjoy?
The new menu is popular?
I and Sowon both liked this from beginning.
Thank goodness we're not losing sales from the recipe leak.
It turned out for the better actually. I'll to make a new recipe using lobster.
What do you mean?
Sowon will be working here as a part-timer from tomorrow.
-How on earth... -Don't you know how she got fried?
On whose permission did you hire her?
I can't even hire my own assistant? I'll manage my own staffs.
You can't as long as you're our employee.
How can you hire someone who got fired at the headquarters?
I think you injured his pride a bit too much this time.
We shouldn't let Sowon come near CE Group.
I thought you trampled on her to keep away VP Kang.
I'm thinking maybe you have another reason?
Why would I? It's best that we don't see her for me... And you.
For me? Don't use me as an excuse to what you wanted to do.
-Hello? -We need to talk.
I heard Sowon got fired. What is going on?
I didn't have a choice. The VPs decided on it.
If you keep delaying with excuses, I can no longer wait.
I'll tell Sowon myself. Of who you are.
Look, Hyunwoo Jang.
I have a plan.
If we hurry this thing, don't you think both of us can get hurt?
Why do you rush me so much? I told you to give me one month.
When knowing who she is, I will take care of this.
VP Shin.
What did you just say? Sowon can get hurt?
He wanted to see me urgently.
Turns out, he had complaints regarding Sowon's dismissal.
Leave it up to me. I'll take care of it.
Take good care.
What did she mean, leave it up to her?
None of your business.
What did you do while Sowon got fired?
I'm still searching for proofs to prove her innocence.
What's worse, she received a complaint from the court.
Do you have to make her go through with this?
Our trial is me and Sowon's problem. You stay out of it.
I can't let her come in and out of the court. Please respect her choice.
I don't want to hear one word from a coward like you.
A man who seduces a patient's wife dares to lecture me?
Get out!
Wife?
If I thought she was your wife... I wouldn't have loved her.
What?
Without even having a wedding, I watched her struggling to support...
...your family and prove your innocence. To me, she wasn't married.
It was nothing more than loyalty and obligation for someone she used to love.
If you feel sorry for her past 5 years of sacrificial life, let her go.
Don't stop her from living a new life which was a difficult decision for her.
What do you know about her?
What do you know about us that you talk such rubbish?
As I told you before, if it weren't for you, she'd be the happiest woman now.
With me who woke up miraculously, she'd live a happy life...
...thanking heaven each day.
But you ruined it.
I hate the sight of you so get out! Right now!
-I brought Mr. Song's wedding photo. -Throw it away.
I told you not to act like a spy. Get out! No one will stop you.
I can't imagine my life without her. Please understand me.
Without me, you'll have a successful life. I should just disappear.
She found her biological mom? I should check for sure.
Did someone come?
