I got this text.
(Your husband is having an affair with someone in your team.)
I was going to bury it.
I tried to.
But it keeps growing in my mind.
I need to know...
about that woman whom you had the affair with.
I need to know.
Who on earth...
I don't know who sent it.
Its number was changed online...
on my computer.
I was going to let it slide thinking it was a bad joke.
But I just couldn't.
I guess I'm no better.
I thought I could pretend...
to be generous and think anyone might waver...
once in a while.
I hope I could pretend...
as if I didn't lose my dignity or I'm so generous that I could...
tolerate everything.
But every day, I think...
"Would he have..."
"held her hands with that hands..."
"and touched her face?"
And I wondered if you said...
you loved her as you touched her.
All those thoughts make me feel like I'm going mad.
I calm myself and try not to,
but I just can't stop thinking.
It's like I'm plunging down to the bottom every day.
I get so furious at you at first,
but then something absurd occurs to me.
"Maybe it was my fault."
"Maybe I gave you the reason."
"I must be the problem."
- Jung Sun. - I can't keep living...
in these delusions.
So I need to know.
Whatever lies behind...
and whatever comes next, I need to know.
Don't say you didn't tell because you cared for me.
You're not afraid of whether I'll get hurt.
You're afraid of what you lose.
Is it because you want to protect that woman?
Is this text true?
- No. - Then, why!
Why can't you tell me?
You always clamp up when you need to talk.
You wouldn't imagine how that drives me insane.
It was the same before.
I rather wished you'd yelled at me...
and gone crazy snapping.
It would've been better that way.
I'll stay at a hotel for the time being.
Call me if you're ready to talk.
Jung Sun!
Don't think you can avoid it.
I'm not going to step back.
I'll leave.
I'll leave the house.
Just stay here.
(The calm before the storm)
(Episode 7)
It's delicious. I bet this place will be famous.
I agree.
Experience is an asset in what we do.
You should check what's on-trend these days.
Even this place.
Okay.
Unfortunately, money is necessary...
to put taste.
Why aren't you eating?
I'm not that hungry.
What a shame. These are delicious.
By the way, did you hear?
Mr. Jung's wife said...
she's going to sue our company for firing him from having an affair.
No way! Are you serious?
She's no ordinary type either.
I might understand Mr. Jung at this point.
It's not easy to live with such a wife.
She must've done it to live on.
She's the victim after all.
Right.
Whatever the reason is, having an affair can't be justified.
Don't you agree?
It destroys a family in the end.
You're right. It's the wrong thing to do.
I guess everyone thinks differently these days.
These days, I...
What do you think, Yu Ri?
It is wrongdoing.
What's up with this atmosphere?
Excuse my tongue for bringing it up in front of a married woman.
I must've lost my senses after I got divorced. Sorry.
Let's just keep on enjoying our tasty food.
This has been...
the Myungil Department Store's standing point plan for Tifone.
We try to deliver the same message worldwide...
through our brand identity.
With this kind of localization, well...
I'd have to think it over.
Of course, we can make any adjustments...
to reflect the home office's opinion.
I see the size of Sung Un's main store is...
about two-thirds of Myungil.
According to Tifone's brand identity,
the concept of casual high-end jewelry,
we've placed it at the center...
of the luxury brand section instead of the traditional jewelry section.
Its space might be small,
but it has high accessibility since it's in the middle.
Also, because it's in the middle of the highest-selling luxury brands,
people would take it as a key brand.
In fact, such an arrangement is quite an unconventional attempt...
for our department store.
Tifone's chairman is quite something.
I can't read his thoughts.
We have to make this work in order to take the next step.
Report the result within today.
Yes, sir.
Also,
how did the work I instructed go?
It should be taken care of soon.
Good.
What are you thinking so hard about?
This is Park Sung Jun of the VIP team.
This is Lia of Tifone.
We should meet up.
For a painting of destruction,
it's quite beautiful.
The painter must have known...
that desiring for something and being destroyed is...
more tempting than wanting nothing.
The works you have asked for had all been paid off.
We'll deliver them to this address.
I'll get to see this work of art in my own living room thanks to you.
Is the contract...
You should take it.
Excuse me for a moment.
Yes, Chairman.
Pardon?
Yes, I understand.
Thank you.
Was that Daniel?
Yes.
Has he decided on Sung Un?
Yes.
Congratulations.
I'll take this one for free...
as it would have been easy money.
Don't feel too bitter. I got one from Myungil too.
And I have nothing to do with Tifone any longer.
If they find out that you had lobbied me,
the bidding will be canceled anyway.
So why don't we both keep quiet?
I heard that you've been with Chairman Daniel for a long time.
When you meet someone, you're bound to part.
I'm breaking up with him.
I can't be the only one going home empty-handed.
Don't you feel sorry...
for him at all?
It's funny to hear someone...
pretending to be nice when you're here to slip me money.
Wouldn't it feel better...
to blame a totally mean wench...
than a moderately mean wench?
Please go to the airport.
Did you know?
When I had nothing,
it was you who told me that I shine like jewels...
to get me to where I am.
I already knew.
I knew...
that you no longer love me.
It was too easy to realize.
But I was okay with it.
Because I still loved you.
It was okay,
but I can't let Tifone go to waste...
because of my feelings.
There are many people on my side in the board of directors.
You can't beat me.
No.
I'm much stronger...
than you think.
Especially when I have to protect something that I cherish,
I can be stronger.
(The Tifone Executive Board Officers Dismissal Notification)
Lia.
You're fired.
(MOU Signing Ceremony of Sung Un Department Store and Tifone)
You must now take pictures with the board members.
It's sad.
I wanted to stay for one more day if I had time.
I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Korea.
It's my wedding ring.
She's on the same team, isn't she?
Yes. How did you know?
- Thank you for all your help. - Have a safe trip.
It's been a long time.
How have you been?
(100,000 dollars)
The vice-president would like to...
end the relationship.
Is he seeing someone else?
What if I don't want to end it?
What happens then?
Su Jin, your colleagues think...
that you're having a normal relationship.
If they find out you were having an affair,
they'll be very surprised.
It doesn't matter.
Will your parents...
also not be bothered by it?
It's a confidentiality agreement...
to ensure that what happened between you two will never...
be revealed to the outside.
It's also best for you...
to let go of him now.
(Confidentiality Agreement)
Good job.
You've taken care of something big.
Now you just have to join the upper management.
It's time to do some real stuff.
Yes, sir.
(My Husband)
Stop there!
Let's run away now.
This way!
Still?
Never mind.
What was that leery reaction?
I mean, think about it.
Why wouldn't she come back for this long...
unless she has another reason?
Another reason?
Another man, for example.
Why you little...
I was just saying.
What do you take my wife for?
Be careful.
But hey,
you better not keep her too loose.
You don't even know where your wife is.
Don't trust her so much.
You could end up like me.
You never know what will happen.
I'm sorry.
Share this with Seo Jun.
Did you feed Young Jun and Seo Jun?
Yes. Where are you?
I'm outside for a moment.
- For a moment where? - Why do you ask?
Where are you?
What's wrong with you? Are you interrogating me or what?
Should we visit where you are today?
- What? - I mean,
I need to know where you're staying at least.
What if you pass out and die alone?
I told our kids that I was appointed to another city.
Do you think they will understand if we meet up in Seoul?
- Then I will... - Ms. Song Mi Na?
I need to go. Let's talk later.
Did you make up your mind?
Yes.
Did you talk about it with your husband?
This baby doesn't...
have a dad.
I want to get it done as soon as possible.
Sure.
At the reception, they'll help you with the appointment.
Okay.
How much more must we walk?
We're almost there.
It's this place.
(Supermarket)
Don't tell me it's this rooftop house.
It's a nice one.
And it's hard to get a place like this with the money you have.
This is the realtor.
I'm here to show your house to my customer.
- Hello. - Hello.
Its location is quite nice.
This young lady is...
moving out to a fine apartment too.
You won't be able to find a better place than this.
I see.
I guess you're moving.
Yes.
What do you say?
Isn't it nice?
I'll check some more places.
All right then.
Goodbye.
It's the invitation list of VIPs for the Tifone exhibition.
Not to mention their faces and names,
you have to memorize everything that's written here...
from their family backgrounds to other details.
Okay.
You know we're meeting with partner companies starting today, right?
Ms. Song and Mr. Ma, you're with me.
Ms. Oni, you're with Ms. Lee.
Okay.
This will mark the beginning of our battle.
Hello.
Hello and hi.
Hello.
- Hello. - What brings you here, Mr. Cha?
The Tifone exhibition will be in this month's special section.
The head of my department has ordered me...
to watch you closely from the preparations.
I may be a nuisance to you from today on,
but please be understanding.
We're all doing this to make a living, you know.
Ms. On.
Please do a good job.
You better stay focused.
They will try to attack us like hyenas.
I'm CEO Lee Myung Hoon of Dongil.
I'm Director Park Chi Wan of Iloon.
I'm Director Song Il Ryang of Ailey.
I'm CEO Kim Tae Woo of Gardner.
As you all know,
we'll select a valet company for this coming event...
through your presentations today.
Let's begin.
We will start with Dongil.
The rest of you should wait in the conference room next door.
Keep your eyes wide open.
You're a judge today.
Innovation is necessary for department stores now.
We need people with young senses like Mr. Park...
in order to cope with changing trends.
Such a personnel appointment could...
demotivate those workers who are working their way up.
An organization is like a living creature.
They change and adapt.
He has shown enough results worth the promotion.
I don't think this is unreasonable.
We will discuss...
this matter at the next meeting again.
To the people working in an organization,
human resource administration is the most important thing.
We have to think about this carefully.
That's right. I was saying the same thing, Father.
However, Father...
- This era... - Jumping on the bandwagon will...
make us lose our path.
There is a reason why each group has a different culture.
Let's wait and see.
If he seems trustworthy,
even if you don't say anything, I will promote him.
Okay.
Good work, sir.
Sure.
That old man,
he's still caught up in old emotions.
Try to hit it big with the Tifone case.
We have to use numbers to win.
I got this text.
This is Kim Dong Woo from the IT management team.
This is Park Sung Jun from the VIP team.
Mr. Park, what's the matter?
I want to ask you a favor.
If it's for Mr. Park, I'll do anything.
Can you get the employee time sheets...
for after 10 p.m. on October 7th?
- Timesheets? - Yes.
Usually, I would need official paperwork for this.
That's why I gave you a personal phone call.
It's hard to tell you the details,
but I need it for work.
Okay. I'll do this for you.
Thank you.
- Mr. Lee! - Yes?
(Employee timesheets)
Print this out and give it to Mr. Park at the VIP team.
Don't use emails or the office messenger system,
just print it out and give it to him.
Okay.
The main dish should...
have five variations for the people to choose from.
More importantly,
I'd like Chef Michael to be our main chef...
to cater the event.
There are many important people coming to this event.
As you probably know, Chef Michael works...
only for the events he wants to participate in.
I'll try to arrange a meeting.
Okay. Thank you.
I also made a list of the wine that will be served,
so you can taste them.
Yes?
Ms. Na, what should I do?
I think I made a mistake.
What?
I'll go there right now. Go over your tracks again.
Mi Na, I have to head back in first.
Meet Chef Michael for me.
Okay.
We'll review the details and call you back later.
Thank you.
How does it feel to be the person making choices?
Pardon?
We have to bow down to the VIPs,
but that company bows down to us.
Isn't life funny?
We bow down to the VIPs, and these people bow down to us.
It's the circle of life.
It's okay to have some fun,
but don't get too excited.
Nothing is free in this world.
You couldn't find it?
You should know, Mr. Ma.
If we can't find the original files, we need the president's seal again.
Yes.
We can take care of our side,
but what should we do for Tifone's seal?
You have to find it.
Okay.
After going to the business strategy team office for the papers,
did you ever let go of the papers?
Well...
I met Mr. Lee from the goods team at the elevator,
and his boxes looked so heavy, so I tried to help him.
That was when...
Maybe I left them on the boxes.
Forget it.
I'm not interested in working for rich people.
- It's not like that... - I should get going.
I'm sorry.
We can't overrule the chef's decision.
I'm back.
What about Chef Michael? Did he agree to do it?
I heard he's picky.
Isn't Chef Michael the most popular one?
Yes, he's the most popular chef among VIPs these days.
There's a joke that even the president has to wait...
for a month to eat a meal.
He's one of a kind.
I'll try to persuade him.
You can trust me.
All right.
(Entry log)
I'm not here for you, I'm here to meet Mr. Park.
- You're here. - Yes.
Mr. Kim said to give this to you.
- Thank you, Mr. Lee. - Sure. No problem.
This is On Yu Ri from the VIP team.
Hello.
I'm President Kim Tae Woo of the Gardner Company.
Yes, sir.
What's the occasion?
I don't think that's possible.
Yes. I'm sorry.
I took it when I left the elevator.
It narrows down the search.
You have to search everything, even if it means...
asking everyone on the upper floors.
Okay.
Is there chance...
if I could see the CCTV videos for October 7th?
- After 10 p.m. - October 7th?
Yes. It's for work.
The videos for that day has...
been taken already by the head of your team.
Sorry?
- Aren't you in the VIP team? - I am.
Just ago,
Mr. Park Sung Jun took the video file.
Okay. I see.
Ms. Na, I found it!
I put it way inside my desk because I wanted to keep it safe,
and it happened to fall behind the desk.
That's a relief.
Go to Mr. Park and give him the papers.
Okay.
I'm not sure if you'd like it.
Do you like wine?
Sure.
That's a relief.
The reason I'm here is...
because I thought I should make myself clear.
There must have been a misunderstanding.
There's nothing I can do for you even with all these favors.
We lost the bidding.
Ms. Lee called today.
So you don't need to worry...
if this is to entertain you or not.
Then why...
I want to maintain a good relationship with you.
Though I lost the bidding this time,
there will be chances in the future,
and you could be making the decisions then.
You could say I'm investing in a long-term view.
So don't you feel burdened tonight,
and think of it as a casual meeting...
where we happen to be drinking.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
I've lost track of the time talking with you.
We seem to speak the same language.
Wouldn't it be easier for you to work with someone...
who speaks the same language as you?
The contract hasn't been signed yet.
Why don't you talk to Ms. Lee again?
You must set forth your opinion in a circumstance like this...
to establish yourself in the office.
I've told you the first time.
I wouldn't have been here if I knew you were trying to entertain me.
You could talk to her about it once.
I'm just saying.
You said you wanted to maintain a good relationship with me, right?
Then I'm afraid you've failed.
Did I look that naive to fall...
for a glass of wine?
No,
that's not what I meant.
We won't forget about the favor you'll do for us.
Again,
you've made a mistake.
We'll just say we've had a pleasant time tonight.
I'm afraid I'll be offended if we kept on.
Goodbye.
Ms. On.
(Vacant)
You could be making the decisions then.
You could say I'm investing in a long-term view.
(My Wife)
Jung Sun has...
already been hurt too much.
If she finds out that it was you,
it'll leave...
a scar in her heart forever.
I can't let that happen.
I'm...
finished.
I'm never going back.
So,
you should finish it too.
Please.
(Receipt of the sum)
I'll be back.
I want you to be my friend today.
(Your husband is having an affair with someone in your team.)
It was sent from your computer?
And you don't know who it was?
No.
But I think Sung Jun figured out who it was.
He took the security camera footage of the day it was sent.
Sometimes I wonder he must have...
figured out who it was...
as there could be rumors in the office.
But sometimes I wonder would he have gone that far if it wasn't true.
Do you really want to know?
If you're not getting a divorce,
it wouldn't do anything good even if you find out...
whatever it was.
That's what I thought too.
But I should know first...
to decide whether I'll be able to forgive him...
or not.
I can't live the rest of my life being afraid of the truth.
Are you sure...
you won't regret it?
Then find out about it.
If you're going to keep doubting him,
wouldn't it be better to check for yourself no matter how?
That's if...
you really have to know.
Excuse me, Chef.
I need to go back in five minutes and prepare for the lunch hours.
Okay.
A year ago, after Ms. Jung Soon Ok lost her husband,
she couldn't eat anything,
but she regained her energy with your food.
Ms. Lee Na Yoon was suffering from anorexia...
until before she first had your food.
But she started to eat little by little after then.
What are you trying to say?
I want to say that we aren't simply running errands for rich people.
All of them love...
your food without any other intentions.
And we came to you because of these customers.
Can't you reconsider once more?
Why are you doing this much?
This project is important to me.
My promotion is on the line.
So it has to go well, and for that to happen,
the customers must be satisfied.
Did you say, 100 servings?
Then the main menus can't be more than three kinds. Is that okay?
Yes.
It's negotiable enough.
Leave your business card to me. I'll send you a course proposal.
Thank you.
Let me tell you something in case you misunderstand.
I'm not doing this because of this made-up story.
It's because you seem so desperate.
And you remind me of my past.
I've become emotional in a long time.
If you had said, "Well, you'll get paid for it."
Or "My customers' satisfaction is my satisfaction."
I wouldn't have done it.
But you said it's for your sake.
I like your honesty.
Thank you.
I need to go prepare for lunch hours now.
Of course.
Let me check and call you back.
Ms. Lee.
Chef Michael is with us.
- Did he say he'd do it? - Yes.
I can't believe you convinced him.
Report it to Mr. Park yourself.
You made a big contribution, so you should take credit for it.
Okay.
Good work.
You did a good job.
Thank you.
(Young Jun's Dad)
We need to talk after work today.
How much more must I wait?
You once asked me...
to stop you just once.
This time, can't you stop me just once?
These days, I keep thinking...
that things have gotten worse between us...
because we buried it as if everything was okay.
I don't want to make the same mistake.
We might not lose each other that way.
Did something happen in the house?
I guess you're curious at least.
Right.
At first, I tried to understand...
because you went through so much alone.
I knew you suffered.
You're ambitious at work,
and you're passionate.
You must've been troubled to lose your promotion, raising our kids.
So I thought...
it was understandable.
Now, I'm saying I'll change.
I've come to my senses.
But you still insist that you won't come back.
I'm confused too.
Jong Chan wondered...
if you are having an affair.
I know it doesn't make any sense,
but then I wonder...
if it really doesn't make any sense.
Our current situation itself doesn't make any sense already.
I'm so confused...
these days.
I'm sorry.
Just a little.
Wait a little bit more.

Are you planning to have Seo Jun's younger brother?
Not at all. It'd be crazy.
Chairwoman Lee of Hanjung Group wants...
to join the auction in private?
We aren't just acquaintances.
So people in the company don't know.
Be careful not to let my wife see her today.
You need to tell me so that I know.
I'll go. Let's talk it all out after work today.
