You're home late.
Kid. Still mad at me?
Rather, I'm angry at myself.
It's best to immerse yourself in work when life is complicated.
You know that this is an important time for the Shanghai branch.
I know.
Oh, it's Na-na.
I haven't seen her in a while.
Chairman, what happened? You never had a bike accident before.
It happened.
Thank goodness it's not worse. Father sends his concern.
Tell him thank you.
Where was Jae-bum all this time? I couldn't reach him.
He just got home. Go upstairs.
Get up, please.
I want to rest. Let's talk later, okay?
Are you okay?
What is it you want to know?
Sorry. I shouldn't ask anything.
I hear you're at the head office now.
You hear everything.
You know I have a Jae-bum antenna always on alert.
Leave me alone. I want to rest.
But we haven't seen each other in so long.
Come have tea with me downstairs.
Or we can ask Capt'n Yeo to bring some up.
Yoon Na-na.
Did you take your medicine?
I did.
What about dinner?
Of course I haven't eaten. I was waiting to eat with you.
You want me to end work earlier?
No, I was kidding.
You must be hungry. Will you hand me my crutches?
Use the wheelchair. It's too early for crutches.
I'm fine. Hand them over.
Hard, isn't it?
Hello, Ga-eun.
Hello.
Na-na, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Then join us for dinner.
Sounds good. I'm hungry.
Madam boiled this broth all night for you, sir.
Try it. The broth is very rich.
Is that so? Ga-eun, you made this yourself?
The broth is very flavorful. It's very rich.
Let me taste.
Oh, it is rich. It's very good.
It's good for the bone.
There isn't a dish she can't cook.
Tell me if there's anything else you'd like.
I'm not very good but I'll give it a try.
Ga-eun, when did you learn to cook like this?
Jae-bum, think I should take cooking classes?
Why would you?
So I can cook your favorite dishes for you.
Jae-bum eats everything but he likes a refreshing crab soup the most.
He also likes bean paste stew.
He does? I'll make that next time, so look forward to it.
I certainly look forward to tasting your cooking.
- Try the food. - Okay.
Wow, it's really good.
Speaking of favorite food, I don't know yours, Ga-eun.
What do you like?
I said, what's your favorite food?
Huh?
Penny for your thoughts.
It's nothing.
Here, try some of this.
Chairman, you're lucky to have such a beautiful, gentle wife.
Of course I am.
This is good.
Good night.
You, too, Ga-eun.
Warm milk is better than alcohol when you can't sleep.
Want me to heat some for you?
Aren't you here to nurse the chairman back to health?
I suggest you stick to that, AUNT.
He's doing much better. You don't have to worry.
Why would I when he has you by his side?
I know all too well that you're an excellent nurse.
Thank you for thinking so.
Aren't you here to nurse the chairman back to health?
I suggest you stick to that, AUNT.
'So that's what I am. His aunt.'
You paid Yeo Mi-joo everything?
Yes, sir.
Good job. Is her office ready?
The furniture and interior design were done as she requested.
You did well.
We'll end up forming a special joint team with Oriental.
But we're leading this project, so make sure the design team pulls their weight.
Yes, sir.
Things seem to be working out for once.
Tell Executive Director Han we'd like to have dinner with their chairman.
We gotta butter him up beforehand for smooth sailing.
Yes, sir.
It's finally time for Star Fashion to take flight.
Sure thing. I'll set a meeting for the day after tomorrow.
What? Sooner?
I'll call you back after I check our chairman's schedule.
Goodbye.
That was great, Executive Director Han. Or should I say President Han?
Thanks to you, I can go independent. You've been a great help.
We have a branch office in Canada that'll help your new company.
Again, thank you.
Are you heading to the airport now?
Our employee at the airport will give you the details.
He'll accompany you to Canada.
Sounds good.
Things will be noisy for a while. Be careful and don't visit for a while.
You'll be late for your flight.
Well, I'll get going then.
'Jung-woo, sadly you're about to lose both Oriental and Yeo Mi-joo.'
'I wish I could see your expression when you find out.'
Sir, we have a report that Director Yoo met with Exec. Director Han.
What? She did?
Yes. Apparently they just met.
I guess she heard about our partnership with them.
What's she gonna do, gossip about Julia with him?
I don't have a good feeling about this. You should try calling him again.
We just talked to him.
Hello, sir. It's Park Jung-woo.
I was wondering when the meal with your chairman is.
Ah, that's good.
Tomorrow lunch isn't bad but I was hoping we could have dinner.
No, no, it's fine. Thank you for everything.
Lucky, I'm your father.
Silly girl...
Just think of Lucky right now.
If he finds out about the miscarriage, he'll try to leave me.
What do I do? What?
Where's this liquor he wants me to sneak?
Mi-ran.
Did you drink?
Don't be silly. What are you doing in here?
Mister Cho says there's liquor here and he wants some.
Mi-ran, you can't drink no matter how much you want to.
I realize you're used to drinking but you gotta think of the baby.
It's bad for the baby.
I know that much.
Why's she denying it when I know she drank?
I'm a regular hound. I can smell the alcohol.
Did something upsetting happen?
What's this smell?
Ma'am, doesn't the stew smell great?
No, I smell something more like alcohol or perfume and it's everywhere.
What is the identity of this smell? It's coming from over here.
I'm sure that it's alcohol.
Which means someone's been enjoying a little daytime drinking.
'Why's he holding out when he could be of use?'
'What if Mi-ran's caught as the one who drank?'
I want each person to tell me who drank.
I can't get a handle on it, so tell me.
It was one of you two.
Mister Cho, confess.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
He wanted some liquor so I got it for him.
Baby, I had one sip.
I barely wet my tongue. That doesn't count.
I don't deserve this treatment.
A glassful doesn't count as barely wetting your tongue, idiot.
Oh my god, I can't believe this. What is with you, baby?
Do you no longer love me?
- Are you okay? - Huh?
Didn't you throw up the last time you smelled alcohol?
Ah, yes. I'm fine now.
I'm glad to hear there's no more morning sickness.
I'm saying this just in case. No drinking while pregnant, okay?
Yes, Mother.
Dinnertime?
Yes.
Perfect timing.
Can I get a bowl?
What? Jung-woo's sister is after your boyfriend?
She is.
She refuses to give him up. She's driving me loco.
Until when is that family gonna butt heads with us?
Mom, I won't lose Maeng. Especially not to that girl.
Bring that Maeng dude by sometime.
If he's a good fella, I'll get to work on your marriage.
You're already old enough.
Alright.
I wonder how your sister's faring at the chairman's house.
Mom, you're making this kimchi for her, aren't you?
She does like very ripe kimchi.
I wish we could share the kimchi with Jae-bum like we used to.
But now it's all a thing of the past.
I know, right?
He must be suffering something terrible.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HA JAE-BUM
I'd like the stats on last year's sales as well.
I plan to reorganize the designers and also find talented artists.
This time around I want to go with a seasonal collaboration.
- It's not a bad idea, but... - I can pull it off.
I've considered every possibility through an analysis of past similar successes.
When did you find the time?
I imagine my sudden appointment as director must've worried everyone.
Along with the contract termination with Star.
But lend me your trust and support, and we'll see a jump in sales.
Yes, ma'am. Let's do it, Director Yoo.
Hello, Secretary Yoon.
Is that so? Exec. Director Han is safely out?
I see. Thank you.
And was that a leg I just pulled off the dragonfly?
Sir, terrible news.
What terrible news?
Exec. Director Han resigned from Oriental and disappeared.
What do you mean?
We talked about the partnership just yesterday.
I just confirmed the news with Oriental.
They haven't heard a thing about plans for a partnership.
What utter nonsense is this, huh? Call Exec. Director Han now!
No, I'll do it.
The number you have called is no longer in service...
This can't be happening. There's been a mistake.
He couldn't have betrayed me.
He took money from me, money he said was for the chairman!
But you've never met with the chairman.
It was always Exec. Director Han -
Sir.
Find him now. Right now!
You have to find him!
Yes, sir.
No, there must be something wrong. This isn't happening!
Is that so? He's in a frenzy to find Exec. Director Han?
Yes, ma'am.
What do you mean you can't find a trace of him?
Are you saying he vanished off into thin air overnight?
I'm sorry. My men are looking for him, but...
Well, use double, triple more men!
If news gets out that the partnership fell through, Star Fashion is done for!
This is our biggest crisis ever, understand?
Um, sir?
What is it? I told you not to let anyone in!
It's fine. Leave us.
What brings you here without calling ahead?
Your first day is tomorrow.
Please, have a seat.
No, I have to leave after saying what I came to say.
It's time for my flight.
You remember the terms of our contract.
Our contract is dissolved if the partnership with Oriental falls through.
I could've just called you but I wanted to make sure things were settled.
I stopped by on my way to the airport.
Wait, Ms. Yeo...
Then if you'll excuse me.
Ms. Yeo! Yeo Mi-joo!
You can't terminate the contract so one-sidedly.
We're only following the terms of the contract.
Since you're at fault, we won't be returning your money.
I thought you'd already left for the airport.
I wanted to thank you before I left for Italy.
I hope you'll have the chance to really let your talent take flight.
And I hope you succeed in everything you do.
Thank you.
'Jung-woo, you've taken quite a hit. How will you get out of this one?'
So that's how things worked out in the end?
Yes, sir, I had no idea she had planned so well ahead.
She's more tenacious than you'd think.
Park Jung-woo must be really pissed off right now.
Star Fashion's stock is already on the decline.
The rope he was clinging to is rotten. He'll find another way out.
Watch him and make sure he doesn't do anything to harm Ga-eun.
Yes, sir.
How's Jae-bum doing?
He's pouring everything into his work.
I hope he forgives me soon.
What?
Yeo Mi-joo's contract was dissolved when the partnership fell through?
Then what about the money we gave her?
No way.
What's going to happen to our company?
Our stocks will hit rock bottom and the new clothing line is done for.
We'll end up on a mountain of debt.
What is my husband doing?
I see.
Sir, we have a report that Director Yoo met with Exec. Director Han.
Ga-eun, this was your doing?
Ga-eun, it was you, wasn't it?
That's out of the blue. Calm down and explain yourself.
Let go of me and explain.
Why did you meet with Han? What did you do?
This here is a very generous vending machine.
See that?
Cheers.
Han took my money and disappeared.
Yeo Mi-joo used that as an excuse to leave with my money as well.
Come to think of it, things were strange from the start.
You planned the whole thing, didn't you?
And if I did?
Ga-eun, you dare do something so underhanded?
How could you do this to me?
Underhanded?
Jung-woo, listen good.
If you mistreat me, I'll crush you much worse than this.
I have the power and the money to do that.
Think I'm bluffing?
You dare to threaten me?
You're just full of surprises.
Let go of that hand at once!
What do you think you're doing, Park Jung-woo?
- Where are your manners? - What's your problem, jerk?
Have you no self-respect?
Ha Jae-bum, this woman's business is none of yours!
Yoo Ga-eun is a director of Dream Star as well as Chairman Maeng's fiancee.
She's not someone you can treat so carelessly.
Yeah?
Leave, Park Jung-woo. This is unacceptable behavior.
I get it.
You two put up the front that she's engaged to the chairman,
but you secretly meet, don't you?
I see how it is.
What did you say?
Jae-bum, don't.
You're moving me to tears.
Does the chairman know about your relationship with Jae-bum?
What?
Please leave, President Park, before I call security.
I was just about to leave anyway.
Toying with three men, eh?
Ga-eun, you're got some skills there.
Stop it!
You two think you'll get away with this?
Are you okay?
Don't say anything.
What brings you here to see me?
I have something to tell you, sir.
- Something to tell me? - Yes, sir.
About Ha Jae-bum and Yoo Ga-eun.
