(HR Announcement)
There's been an announcement for a promotion.
Nice work.
I think Vice President Ha made his move before...
the general stockholders' meeting.
He plans to build a team with the highest revenue to take the control.
Congratulations.
You're on the highway to success.
Yes, thank you.
Your father gave you the position as chief,
but how will you take that spot?
Mr. Cha!
We're on our way to grab a drink. Want to join us?
- Sure, let's go. - Okay. Let's go!
Chief Ha Yu Ri? This is crazy.
It has to be some kind of a joke.
What do you think, Ms. Lee?
She's promoted to the same rank as you.
How are things at your team?
Well,
it's the company's decision. We can't help it.
Mr. Cha, look.
Here's the situation.
Now, let's say this is the VIP Management Team.
Our sales is...
about 60 percent of the entire department store's sales.
Do you get it? The Pareto principle.
And who are the members of the Black Diamond?
This is the top 999 people who spend the most...
at our department store, our best customers.
And the sales those 999 people give us...
add up to about 70 percent of this part right here.
If they want to take away our best customers,
it means they'll get rid of the VIP Management Team.
My gosh. The innocent bystanders will get hurt in this fight...
and get split up everywhere.
We might end up getting abandoned.
Mr. Park can't do this to us.
I didn't think he was like this.
Ms. Lee.
Are you doing all right nowadays?
I'm fine.
Isn't she that woman?
The woman who participated in the Me Too movement.
What? Is she drinking with a guy?
After all that she did to damage our image?
Exactly.
If I were her, I'd live quietly for a while.
What's with them?
Excuse me.
Were we being a bit too loud?
Oh, no.
It seemed like you were saying something about us.
I was wondering if we were being a nuisance.
No, it's...
If you have something to say, don't talk behind our backs,
but say it to our face.
If you don't, it'll cause a misunderstanding.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Please do that. Thanks.
Mr. Cha, you're really something.
Nice job.
Is the restroom crowded?
No, it's fine.
I'll be back.
Can you see through this?
Did you wash up?
You know, I think it's all right...
for you to run away from home sometimes.
I had to sleep all alone,
then you came back.
I can feel my heart racing as if we just got married again.
If things get slower again, should I leave next time?
Oh, right. That's a bit too much.
I should have stopped when I told you my heart raced.
This is the problem with me now. I say a little too much.
Take this.
What is this?
Open it.
Did you get these?
Young Jun did. I'm joking. It was me.
I mean, your feet got swollen up.
It must be tough to go around in heels.
Thank you.
It's just a pair of shoes.
Put them on. Try them on.
Never mind, I'll put them on you.
Give those to me.
Okay. Left foot.
Did you just wash your hair?
I'm just joking.
All right. They fit you perfectly. I was worried.
Good.
Honey.
Should I quit?
What? Because of what happened?
Just because.
Young Jun will be entering elementary school soon.
And we'll have this child soon too.
But we'll have to make much more money,
so it'll be burdensome to make a living all alone.
You can do whatever you want.
It must be difficult for you to hold out too.
It doesn't matter what happens. You'll have to live first.
I'm sure we'll be able to make a living.
Gosh, I wonder who got you these shoes. These are so pretty.
Don't get these wet. These are suede shoes.
Man, I think I had a bit too much to drink.
I need to go to the restroom again.
Oh, cheers.
The unwelcome guest will leave first.
Ms. Kang just texted me and said she's leaving.
I see.
Okay.
Should we get going too?
Yes, let's go.
Do you want to take a walk to sober up a little?
I always thought I was rather good at making conversation,
but this is oddly difficult.
Like I said,
you can relax.
You're right.
I want to do that.
I'm grateful for you.
I'm pretending to be strong,
but I'm barely holding out.
You said you wanted to be my help.
And what you said helped me out greatly.
I'm glad...
if that helped you out even a bit.
I mean it.
It must be difficult to hold out.
I'm not sure if you would be up for it,
but feel free to use me whenever you need me.
I'm not sure if I'll be any useful.
(To Cha Jin Ho)
I had fun today.
(Let's do this again.)
Let's do this again.
(Send)
Okay. For sure.
Yes. Yes, I understand.
Mi Na, were you in charge of the Di Aclaro restaurant deal?
Di Aclaro's contract is Yu Ri...
Chief Ha was in charge of it.
Chief Ha was transferred to the Prestige Team.
- Mi Na, can you... - I'll finish the deal before I go.
It's in the final stages.
Rather than switching the person in charge now,
I think this would be better.
The visit was rescheduled to today.
We'll go with the Communication Team, so be ready.
- Okay. - Sang Woo...
ask Business Planning if they reviewed the contract.
Okay.
Isn't that Mr. Park?
What brings you here?
Starting with this, all contracts with partner businesses regarding...
the VIP will be handled by Marketing.
Marketing doesn't have the authority to make...
such decisions without discussing.
It was the vice president's order.
Mr. Park. I'm sorry.
I apologize.
I turned down the wrong alley.
How many people can the restaurant accommodate?
30 people maximum.
What age group are most of your customers?
It's evenly spread out.
Hello.
I heard you run a rooftop garden.
Yes. It's closed now because it's winter.
It's open from spring to fall.
Could I have a look?
- Use this to enter the rooftop. - Thank you.
I didn't plan it.
I wanted to die many times after my mom got sick.
It was because life was tough,
but also because I didn't have a reason to go on.
I lived because of my mom,
but sometimes,
I wanted to be selfish and kill myself.
But after I met you,
I found a reason to live.
It was the first time...
I felt glad to be alive.
That's why I was desperate.
It's not much of an excuse, but that's why I did it.
Yes. It's not much of an excuse.
Don't find a reason from that.
Such a thing can crumble down easily, and I mean very easily.
You never know when Sung Jun will meet someone else like you.
Yes, Ms. Na.
The door's locked?
Yes. Get an employee to open it now.
I'll be right there.
I'm sorry. I think the sensor's broken.
We must call the security company.
How long will that take?
About 20 to 30 minutes.
It'll be really cold out there.
I hope they hurry.
Stop pretending to be so pitiful and come over here.
- Are you all right? - I'm fine. Thank you.
I'll ride with Mr. Park.
Did you have to react that way?
Jung Sun was drenched too.
Even if you're blinded by her, that's not...
That's not right.
Someone said that...
it's better to be really bad than be somewhat bad.
It's best for Jung Sun if I make things clear.
Drink this.
Can you...
stay with me tonight?
I will.
Ms. Na of the VIP Management Team is here to see you.
Tell her to come in.
Yes, ma'am.
Have a seat.
What's this?
(Prestige Team, The Black Society Project)
The Black Society?
I'm sure you're aware of this,
but Vice President Ha created the Prestige Team...
in order to take credit for the revenues from our top VIP clients.
So you're suggesting that I create a higher VIP membership...
to teach him a lesson?
It's funny.
I love it.
Is this your way of getting back at Mr. Park?
In this position, you have ears all over the place.
You want me to fight against Mr. Park for you?
You'll find me useful, ma'am.
Then you'll need a task force.
It's about the VIP Management Team.
They need a new director,
so promote Ms. Na.
The Black Society...
The Black Society.
Out of our VIP clients,
we'll select a handful of 99 members...
and give them our highest membership class yet.
We will not stop at helping them make purchases...
but create a platform which involves personal interaction.
It's a social club for the VVIP.
All we need are customers who are big spenders.
Why bother...
with social status and fame?
If we differentiate our VIP clients...
with other standards apart from money,
we'll receive backlash from the existing VIP members.
Not being able to join after spending money...
may lead to our top clients leaving us.
It could also lead...
to VIP members of other department stores joining us.
The fact that money can't buy you this membership...
is the key.
Exclusivity.
We're telling them...
that they are even more special.
We can't provide them with mediocre benefits.
Exactly.
That is why I suggest a new task force...
that'll design a guideline for who gets selected...
and what services we'll offer.
The task force will consist of the VIP Management Team...
who has managed our VIP clients...
and the Prestige Team...
that's been newly added to the Marketing Team.
Why the sudden need for a task force?
Isn't this just a battlefield for two teams to butt heads?
Starting today, we are part of a new task force.
I expect great work from all of you.
(VIP)
Ms. Na, I'll have your back.
I've had enough of Ms. Na's antics.
What kind of person do you wish to marry?
Someone warm and sweet.
It didn't take long to look like one of them.
You have no idea what you have lost.
Could Sang Woo be interested in Ms. Na?
Mr. Park and Yu Ri will both go down.
I want them to suffer the utmost pain.
I could end up attacking you too.
You already are.
And I'll gladly come at you.
