The happy couple will now enter.
Please greet them with a round of applause.
Why is Yoo Ga-eun up there?
Chairman Maeng's fiance is Ga-eun?
Impossible. This is impossible.
I sincerely thank everyone for joining us today.
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce my future wife.
This is surprising? There are more surprises coming up.
Did she seduce Chairman Maeng to have revenge on me?
Impossible.
Jae-bum, Father and Ga-eun are getting engaged tomorrow.
I just found out right now.
We met under special circumstances and ended up here.
I never thought I'd be so lucky again, but here she is beside me.
This is my fiance, Yoo Ga-eun.
This can't be happening.
With an exchange of rings, we'll end the engagement ceremony.
The rest of the afternoon will be enjoyed as a garden party.
Please stand witness to this promise and bless this happy couple.
'Just think of Sung-eun.'
Careful.
What's wrong?
She had a bit of a shock. We just came from the hospital.
The hospital? Did something happen to the baby?
No, thankfully the baby is fine.
Goodness. Thank God.
What shock?
How bad was it for her to go to the obstetrician?
Chairman Maeng's fiance was Ga-eun.
What? What did you just say?
What am I going to do, Mom? She's gonna torture me to death.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
She needs to calm down. Please look after her.
Will do.
Go in, go in.
What is going on? Ga-eun is the fiance?
Na-ri's mother...? I don't believe it.
How in the world did she even approach him?
I told you she was conniving. And you had no idea.
Men are so clueless.
That's not what's important here.
With the chairman on her side, she has us under her thumb.
We have to put our guard up. We don't know what she'll do.
Think about all the things you did to her.
Are you seriously trying to dump this on me right now?
You stop worrying and look after your health.
The doctor said to calm down and find peace.
Alright.
It's not like that wench can do anything to us.
We just won't do anything she can find fault with.
Honey, you don't think she's the new director, do you?
I doubt it.
Chairman Maeng's very strict about being professional.
He'll just want Ga-eun in the house.
That's fine then.
We just have to get the new director on our side.
We need to hurry and succeed with our new clothing line.
I'm constantly on pins and needles because we're too dependent on Dream.
Yoo Ga-eun...
I wish we could go on a trip to celebrate our engagement.
But you can't because of your mother, right?
Shall I try to talk to her again?
No.
I think it's best to give her some time.
Alright.
Don't worry.
I'm starting to feel real bad seeing you so tense like this.
I plan to wait patiently until you come to me sincerely.
I'll work hard to win your love. I just hope it doesn't take too long.
By the way, President Park and Julia looked positively shocked.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll wave that sword of yours.
I just have to sit back and enjoy the show.
Precisely. And what a show it'll be.
Mom, eat some of this, please.
I'm home.
Well, GOOD for you.
Returning home in full glory, eh?
Sis, the engagement party's over?
I love you.
I love you so much, Jae-bum.
Goodness!
I'll stay by your side and do whatever you want.
SEO-JIN
Why! Why!
Why...
Father, terrible news! Jae-bum's gone missing.
What?
What do you mean he's gone missing?
I confirmed that he got on a plane coming here, but then not a trace.
Did you look everywhere?
Yes, I contacted every place he could've gone but nothing.
His phone's turned off and no one's seen him.
Did you tell him about my engagement?
Yes, I thought he deserved to know.
Why did you tell him, you fool!
I purposely held it after he left.
He must've shown up.
THen he would've been incredibly shocked.
I didn't consider that.
Father, what if he turns drastic and commits...?
I won't ever forgive you then.
Stop making a great fuss.
He's probably somewhere pulling himself together.
Jae-bum's not that weak.
Secretary Yoon, look into Jae-bum's whereabouts.
Get on it now.
I hope nothing happened to him.
Poor Jae-bum. His heart must be in pieces.
Don't let it slip to her that Jae-bum is missing.
Her? Yoo Ga-eun?
There's no need to make her worry.
Is that woman more important to you than Jae-bum?
'That woman'? Watch your mouth.
She's going to be my wife.
Why has a sudden meeting been called?
I just found out myself. I don't know what it's regarding.
I guess Director Ha isn't back from his trip to China.
Manager Maeng, don't you know anything about the new director?
How would I know?
It's strange that the position hasn't been filled.
We need a new director soon so that there are no problems.
I have no idea who it could be.
Chairman, sir, what are you doing here?
I guess you didn't know that I called the meeting.
I want to introduce the new director.
Come on in.
I came to personally introduce Yoo Ga-eun as the new director.
Everyone here knows her well so there's no need for introductions.
Why don't you take over?
Thank you.
I'm glad to be back.
I'm the new director who will be leading Dream Star.
I plan to expand Dream Star into a well-recognized women's brand.
I trust everyone here will help me out.
Julia, can I count on you?
What are doing in my office?
Ah, there's something I forget to tell you.
Director Ha left a lot of unfinished work behind.
I don't think I should touch his office so I plan to use this office for now.
What did you say? Who says you can use my office?
This is my office. Get out!
As far as I know, you're no longer the head designer.
It's unfair to everyone else for you to use a private office.
I'll be using this office, so you can move to my old desk.
It's actually quite a nice desk. I did a lot of work there.
You wench, stop pretending you care.
I suggest you watch your mouth.
Who are you calling a wench? You could get fired for that.
Will you hurry up and move out?
I have tons to do if I want to get up to speed.
I'm asking you nicely.
By the way, I almost forgot.
Take this.
Condolence money for Kim Mi-ran.
I'm giving it to you ahead of time.
Think I'll ever forget how Sung-eun died?
Prepare yourself. I plan to torment you to death.
Engaged to Chairman Maeng?
Wow, what a jackpot.
Jackpot?
Sure is.
Chairman Maeng is the top... Hold on, just how rich is he?
Anyway, he's one of the top ten richest men in Korea.
And she's now his wife.
It's true that no one can foretell one's fate.
Are you serious? Her life just took a great turn.
What? You saying she's on her way up?
That's an understatement, ma'am.
Simply put, she's become a queen.
If I had known this would happen, I would've accepted her offer...
Accepted what?
Mommy got married to another man?
Mommy got married?
Well, she's not married yet.
I knew this would happen!
You two flap your mouths and say whatever you want!
Oh, no, no. You don't have to worry.
Mommy Ga-eun's not like that, so don't worry about a thing.
Those two fools are just talking nonsense.
Let whatever they say go in one ear and out the other.
Let's go.
You mean it? Mommy's not marrying another man?
Go, go.
That little thing is the stubbornest thing ever.
Her mother's pregnant with her brother, and she still calls Ga-eun her mommy.
Baby, baby.
If Ga-eun marries the chairman, think we can get something out of it?
Idiot! Think of Mi-ran for once!
We won't get a thing after what we did to her!
We'll be grateful if she doesn't torture Mi-ran.
Why are you hitting me again!
Some people hit the jackpot
while I end up with a guy who runs off with my bankbook!
Huh? It's not too late. Leave if you want.
If anyone should leave, it's you.
I don't even want to look at you. Get out, you idiot!
- Get out. Get out! - I'm not leaving. Why should I?
Why won't you? Get out now!
Fighting already?
Lovey-dovey one moment and fighting the next.
At least you won't get bored.
No one else could pull it off, I swear.
Ga-eun, first you're the fiance, and now you're the new director?
The name has been finalized to Starlit.
Starlit, eh?
I like that it means the star is bright. And it's related to our company's name.
Good. Let's go with it.
We have to hurry the new brand.
We're out of time.
Yes, sir.
And stop buying Julia's designs after today.
It'll be no good if we're found out.
Yes, sir.
Are these Julia's latest designs?
Yes, ma'am.
I want everything on the rack.
What size...?
- Doesn't matter. I want all of it. - Excuse me?
Miss, I also want Julia's latest designs. This, this and that.
Would you like to try them on for size?
I said no. Stop making me repeat myself.
Didn't you two come by the other day and buy the same clothes?
We're huge fans of Julia's work.
I see.
Hurry and bring out everything. Miss, we're busy people.
Yes, ma'am.
DIRECTOR YOO GA-EUN
Per usual, they're buying up all of Julia's designs at the different shops?
I see. Keep recording them.
Record where they take the clothes and who they meet.
Thank you.
Jung-woo, Mi-ran. Such cheap tricks won't work.
After all, you can't block out the sun with just your hands.
Things happened so quickly, I couldn't help you move in.
It's fine.
These are the files you wanted.
This season's sales trends?
Yes.
Um...
Yes?
Don't let it slip to her that Jae-bum is missing.
Never mind.
'How is Jae-bum doing these days?'
You still haven't found Jae-bum? What have you been doing?
Check all hospitals and health centers!
Mi-ran, tell President Park to come. We're having an emergency meeting.
I called this meeting is because something unforgivable has happened.
Take a look at this.
Isn't this a report saying that sales have risen from last season?
As soon as I saw this, I thought something was off.
So I checked all the sales reports.
And almost as if coordinated, each store's sales were similar.
What is your point?
President Park, until when will you feign innocence?
This day and this day.
Warm weather caused sales to drop dramatically in all stores.
But only Dream Star's sales remained constant.
That's because...
So I looked into the matter.
The same customers were buying our clothes repeatedly.
With the same credit cards, I might add.
President Park had us all fooled with fake sales.
Director Kang has already received this report.
I asked you to come to inform you that we're terminating our contract with Star.
Terminating the contract?
What right do you have to terminate anything?
Watch yourself.
This is the workplace and I'm your superior.
This is all circumstantial evidence.
You have no direct evidence that I rigged the sales.
Evidence?
I have plenty of evidence.
Please come in.
You hired these women to buy all the clothes.
They would buy all of Julia's clothes and move them into Star's storage.
These pictures prove that.
Honey...
Is this enough proof for you?
If this fact becomes known, it'll be a great blow to Dream Star's image.
That is the reason behind the contract termination.
Chairman Maeng has already been informed.
