(Episode 40)
Tomorrow, I can find out who Ha Eun really is.
This came for you.
You weren't here, so I went to the lobby and picked it up for you.
(DNA Parentage Test Report)
(Test Result)
(DNA profiles do not match, not biologically related)
She's not my child.
I knew it. What I was thinking was right.
One more time.
That's it. Good girl.
- I'm done, Mom. - Okay.
Go to your room.
Let's have a family dinner at a restaurant somewhere tonight.
I got promoted, so it'll be my treat.
Yes, tell Mom. Okay.
Yeon Su.
You must never find out who your daughter is.
You don't deserve to be a mother.
Thank you.
This is great.
Thank you. I'm glad you're happy with it.
Are you really interested in working with me?
The manager of our legal team recommended you,
and you're very capable. I'd love to work with you if you'd like.
Yes, I'd like to work at Noyu.
I'm sure you've gotten offers from many big law firms.
I've wanted to work at Noyu for a long time.
And you're here too.
I'll be in touch soon.
Thank you.
I met Lucio Dalla,
the CEO of Carso Fashion Shopping Mall.
Isn't he the man...
who owns about 100 shopping malls all over the world?
Yes. I heard he's on the lookout for a company to invest in,
so I met him and discussed the investment terms and conditions.
I sent over an agreement that has been reviewed.
If this works out,
it'll be a great opportunity for the company.
How likely is it that the deal will go through?
His feedback was pretty positive,
so I think we can expect good results.
I'll be sure to deliver great results this time.
Okay, I hope all goes well.
Oh, there's something else I need to tell you.
I'd like to recommend someone for the legal manager role.
He's capable and results-oriented. He'll be a great asset.
Who is this person?
- Grandma. - Ha Eun!
What brings you here at this hour?
I got off work early today, so I picked up Ha Eun.
Why were you done so early today?
You said you investigate cases and look through reports all day.
Well, I just got everything done quickly and called it a day.
Is something going on?
No, nothing's going on.
Is this the bed?
- I want to lie down. - Okay, lie down.
My sweet pumpkin, you must be tired from studying so hard.
- Yes. - My gosh.
- My sweetie. - Mom, when will you be done?
Soon. Give me a few minutes.
Get some rest, Ha Eun.
- Okay. - I'll get ready to leave.
My gosh, what's gotten into you?
I can't believe you cooked for us.
My gosh, it looks delicious.
It looks good, doesn't it?
It's hot, so be careful. Ha Eun, cool it down before you eat it.
Seriously, what's gotten into you?
You always cook for us, Mom.
I just wanted to cook for you. That's all.
It's so delicious because my dear son made it.
It'd be nice to have this with everyone.
Everyone else will be home late because of work.
Eat up.
Ha Eun, you should eat too.
You seasoned it perfectly.
It tastes perfect.
I'm glad you like it.
I like it too, Uncle Ho Jin.
- Really? Eat as much as you want. - Okay.
You should eat too.
It's very refreshing.
I know I made it, but it's good.
Right? It's so refreshing.
Ha Eun, I'll give you some of this.
Hello?
This is Noyu Group's HR team. Are you Mr. Choi Ho Jin?
- Yes. - I'm calling to let you know...
that you can join our legal team as of next Monday.
Okay, sure.
What was that about?
About work.
I heard we're getting many inquiries from our prospective buyers.
Yes. The staff there are saying...
we keep getting more orders. Isn't it such great news?
- All our hard work paid off. - I know.
That watch...
I decided to accept Kate's proposal.
Gosh, she's so mischievous.
I heard she's always been a total prankster.
You were probably a big prankster too.
You're pretty good at teasing others.
It's so entertaining to watch how you react when I tease you.
Anyway, I'm so relieved that she's your aunt.
What?
Why are you relieved?
Never mind.
Well, shall we head home?
Sure.
What? You'll join Noyu?
Yes.
I thought I should tell you first before I tell Mom.
You'll quit being a prosecutor?
Why all of a sudden?
We must uncover the truth behind the accident.
I should enter the tiger's den to catch the tiger.
It's not easy for you to find out things there all by yourself.
I have to work there.
Still, Ho Jin.
The man who called the police.
He saw someone when I was with him...
and said that person looks like the man he saw at the cliff.
But the thing is, I saw that man going into the Noyu building.
- It was that man. - Sorry?
I think he looked like the man who just went into the building.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I lost him,
but that's why I decided to work at Noyu.
I think that's how this was made.
- Right. - What about the size?
I have the result from the disciplinary hearing.
Ms. Hwang, you'll get a pay cut for three months.
Soo Ho, you'll get a pay cut for six months.
Just for three months? For doing something like that?
The decision was made by the higher-ups,
so consider yourselves informed. And don't complain, please.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
Your reputation has been scarred because of me.
I'm fine as long as you're okay.
From now on,
I'll be on your side, no matter what the circumstances are.
Mr. Han.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thanks to you, I could avoid a severe disciplinary action.
You don't need to thank me.
I did it for you so that you can assist Min Hyuk well by his side.
Of course, ma'am.
Hey, Ho Jin.
Let's meet after work. I have something to tell you.
What is it about?
You know the cafe in my area, right? Meet me there.
What's going on with him?
Did you call me to brag about your son getting married?
Yes, I'm jealous.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Jae Hyuk?
Do you want him to be your son-in-law that much?
Yes, that's right.
I've always wanted your daughter to be a part of my family.
Right. Yes, let's go for some food soon.
Okay, all right.
Come in.
Here's the report on the collection.
Jae Hyuk.
Shouldn't you start thinking about getting married?
You remember my friend, Assemblyman Jung, right?
His son's getting married.
He keeps telling me that he's fond of you...
and that he'd love to have you meet his daughter.
You should meet her.
Dad.
How could you say that to me?
- Jae Hyuk. - Forget it.
Please don't bring up the topic of marriage ever again.
(Chairman's Office)
Don't get the wrong idea.
My suspicions about you haven't been totally cleared yet.
It's the production progress report.
Thank you.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
It's already time to go home. Shall we get going?
Sure.
So Director Han is also Ms. Han's nephew, right?
Yes, he is.
I don't think he knows yet,
judging from the way he treats her.
He'll be so surprised when he finds out later on.
Yes, probably.
Min Hyuk is tenderhearted.
What? "Tenderhearted"? You mean, Director Han?
He used to be.
He was very sweet and tenderhearted.
- What's wrong? - What?
I think something got in my eye.
- It stings. - Let me have a look.
What?
Wait.
I'm speechless. So there's actually something going on between them?
Choi So Won, how dare you make a move on Vice President Han?
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
So Won is my employee, and she's on my team.
Do not mistreat her in any way.
Both of you are finished.
Seriously, what is wrong with me?
Gosh, please.
What's going on?
You were the reason I decided to become a prosecutor.
You said I should become a prosecutor. You remember, right?
- What about it? - But...
I've decided to quit being a prosecutor.
- What? - I've found what I have to do.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
Thanks to you, I could become a prosecutor,
so I thought I should tell you.
What do you plan to do after quitting?
Will you work as a lawyer?
Well, you'll find out soon enough.
- I'll be off, then. - Okay.
What? You'll quit being a prosecutor?
Yes.
I'll start working as a lawyer instead.
Why? Is it because of money?
Why would you quit such an honorable job?
Then I should call you my cutie-pie lawyer, not prosecutor.
What's wrong with working as a lawyer?
His schedule will be more flexible than it is now,
and he may be able to earn more money.
Right, it's a great job.
Is it?
Uncle Ho Jin. So you're now Lawyer Choi, not Prosecutor Choi?
Yes.
And starting next Monday,
I'll be joining Noyu Group's legal team.
Our legal team?
Yes.
How did you arrange everything so quickly?
I arranged everything in advance.
You're so impressive, my cutie-pie prosecutor...
I mean, lawyer.
Bravo! I welcome you with open arms.
Now, I get to see you at home as well as at work.
I'm so happy.
But why Noyu of all the companies?
I'm curious too. With your qualifications,
I'm sure you'll get offers from big law firms.
I just want to work at Noyu for some reason.
Is it because of Vice President Han and Kate?
Gosh, I see.
All right. I'm sure you made a wise decision.
I don't know how I feel about it though.
Put Ha Eun to sleep. I should go to bed too.
I guess Ms. Song is sad.
Ha Eun, you should brush your teeth and wash your face.
- Come with me. - Okay.
- Sweet dreams. - Good night.
Well, I have a favor to ask though.
I don't want anyone at work...
to find out that So Won and I are siblings.
- Why not? - I just don't want people to know.
I don't want people to gossip,
- and it'll make me uncomfortable. - I totally understand.
Okay, don't tell anyone. I won't say anything either.
All right.
We should be able to uncover the truth...
behind the accident when Ho Jin joins Noyu, right?
Ho Jin will leave the prosecution?
Then he won't investigate the accident anymore.
I can finally sleep comfortably at night.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
I wouldn't even say anything if they just ate together.
They were all lovey-dovey.
I saw him wiping and touching her face.
Tell Mr. Jeong to come to my office.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jeong, I need you to look into something.
Chairman Han must be very surprised.
Choi So Won.
Brace yourself.
Choi So Won has a kid?
Yes.
Who's the father?
That I couldn't check, sir.
Mr. Get Out, what are you going to buy?
I don't need to buy anything.
Get something. I have a lot of money.
My grandma gave me money...
for giving her a leg massage.
Pick something you want.
Make sure it's under a dollar though.
Okay, I will.
Then I'll get 10 of something that costs a dollar.
What? I can't afford that.
Can you just pick three?
Then could that kid be...
They say that your position can change your mindset.
Now that I'm a contract employee,
I feel very different compared to when I was a part-timer.
How so?
Shall I say I feel more responsible?
I want to work even harder.
Anyway, I'm so happy.
You must always feel such a heavy burden of responsibility.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
Thanks for acknowledging that.
What is that?
It was made with the newly developed fabric.
- You should try it on. - Really?
It feels nice.
How is it?
It's comfortable.
But is lining the issue? It feels a little tight.
Let me see.
Sir.
Please leave.
Yes, sir.
What on earth was that about?
What do you mean?
What is this?
I'm asking you what this photo is about!
Who took this photo?
Is that important now?
Answer my question.
What is going on between you and Choi So Won?
It's not what you think.
Then how will you explain this photo?
- This was when... - Move out of that house at once.
I don't want to.
You don't want to?
If you're going to keep this up,
I'll have to do something about Choi So Won.
I told you nothing's going on between us. Why must I move out?
It's a misunderstanding.
Then prove it to me!
- Prove it? How? - Go on a blind date. Immediately.
I refuse.
What?
What is going on, Tae Seok?
Fire So Won? Why?
Fire her and help her find another job.
But why all of a sudden? There must be a reason.
What is this?
What kind of relationship do they have?
You must know since you live with them.
What's up with this photo?
There must've been a misunderstanding.
They don't have that kind of relationship.
They don't?
Then how can you explain that photo?
What did Jae Hyuk say? Didn't he say nothing's going on between them?
Problems must be prevented from the get-go, so do as I say.
Is something going on between you and So Won?
No, nothing's going on.
Then what's the matter with your father?
He's furious. He keeps telling me to fire So Won no matter what.
Fire her?
He must've gotten the wrong idea about something.
Go and get it sorted out. He won't listen to me.
Before So Won gets in serious trouble,
explain what's going on to him or try to stop him, okay?
Shall I say I feel more responsible?
I want to work even harder.
Anyway, I'm so happy.
I have to keep my job at Noyu.
Why do you have to stay at Noyu?
I must uncover the truth about something.
Why do you want to fire So Won?
I told you that there's nothing going on between us.
Then go on a blind date and get married!
Why are you always like this?
I'm not interested in getting married.
You're not interested in getting married?
Until when are you going to stay single, then?
- Do you not care about me? - Dad.
End of discussion. Get out!
Then I just have to go on a blind date?
Okay. I'll do it, then. I'll do it right away.
But you'll have to withdraw your order to fire So Won at once.
Jae Hyuk is going on a blind date with Assemblyman Jung's daughter?
- Yes, ma'am. - Isn't Assemblyman Jung...
expected to run for President in the upcoming election?
That's correct.
If it works out, we'll be in huge trouble.
By the way,
did Jae Hyuk willingly agree to go on the blind date?
I doubt that.
I know. I find that very strange too.
Then I'll make sure they're all implemented by our next meeting.
- Okay. - Great.
- Hello. - Hello.
Please sit down.
You can get going. I want to sort through the reports.
All right, then.
I like to exercise.
I usually do yoga.
Hold on. Isn't that Jung Mi Yeon?
The daughter of Assemblyman Jung, who will run for President.
You should get going without me. I have plans this evening.
He has plans?
- What's up? - I have something to show you.
What is it?
Come meet me here and you'll see. If you don't come, you'll regret it.
Did you have dinner?
I had a late lunch, so I'm not hungry.
Let's have dinner together tomorrow.
Sure.
I'm glad I came here today.
Did you see it?
Did you see Vice President Han on his blind date?
You called me to show me this?
Yes.
To show you where you really belong.
Her father is an assemblyman whom everyone knows.
And he'll run for President.
(Bad Love)
Aren't you the actor, Namkoong Won?
Excuse me!
- What... What are you doing? - Just a moment.
I don't want to run into that woman.
This is why studying is important.
Choi Ho Jin, the manager of the legal team.
- It's so cool. - Let's go, so he can work.
We'll be in trouble if anyone sees us together.
- Do your work! - Come home early.
Your daughter is getting married?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
I closed my fabric shop years ago, you know.
Her fabric shop? What is that fabric developer doing here?
