(Episode 86)

Good morning, sir.

What? You have good news?

Really?

Our CEO is willing to attend the meeting himself.

You know that means he's more likely to invest, right?

It's all thanks to you.

Yes.

Please go ahead. Yes, I'll jot it down right now.

Okay. Just a second.

Okay, go ahead.

You want the material to be 70 deniers.

You want to get rid of the gloss coat.

And you want there to be 155 thread counts per inch, right?

Yes.

Yes. Of course, we can do it.

Yes.

Then I'll give it a check and send it to you this afternoon.

Okay, bye.

Your tie is crooked.

By the way,

I lost the tie clip you bought for me.

I wonder if she's planning to give it back to Jung Min.

Did you check the email I sent you?

Come see me at my gallery during lunchtime.

What did you talk about with Director Choi?

I don't see why I need to tell you that.

She's trying to get in the way of Director Seo,

so I have every right to ask.

I know you and Director Seo are dating each other,

but don't you think you're overstepping your authority?

The chairman appointment is coming up soon,

so we all need to be on our toes.

Right now, it's more important for me to protect him...

than to be worried about overstepping my authority.

Don't tell me you think I'm Director Choi's spy.

I need to think of all the possibilities.

Plus, you only just got transferred here.

Are you treating me this way because you're angry...

that Director Seo stood you up yesterday?

Ms. Seo, watch what you say.

I'm sorry, Ms. Lee.

What's the matter? What's going on?

Ms. Seo, what exactly are you apologizing for?

Why are you scolding her so much?

Do you really think I'd do that to her?

Director Seo, it's all my fault.

Please excuse me for a bit.

Let's go inside. Let's talk in my office.

- Come on. - My gosh.

Are you angry because of yesterday?

Do you want me to be honest?

I was upset.

Gosh, I thought you were a magnanimous woman.

But you're a lot pettier than I thought.

Are you trying to anger me?

Why are you so sensitive?

Let's not talk about it anymore. We might really end up fighting.

I figured you didn't drink coffee today.

Didn't you bring one for Ms. Lee?

I'm sorry. I didn't think of bringing one for her.

I'll bring one right away.

There's no need.

If you're fighting because of me,

would it be okay for me to explain myself to Ms. Lee?

I don't need an explanation.

I just want to know...

what you and Director Choi talked about.

She asked me about you.

She asked about me?

Will you be more specific?

She heard that you enter Director Seo's office...

whenever you want regardless of his schedule.

And she asked me how many times a day...

you come by his office.

And what did you tell her?

I'm obligated to keep things confidential as his secretary,

so I didn't tell her anything.

I don't think it's fair of Ms. Lee to misunderstand me like this.

She accused me...

of being Director Choi's spy just because she saw us together.

Don't you think that's a bit unfair?

You guys.

We're all very edgy...

because of the upcoming chairman appointment.

So please try to understand.

If that's what you want, then I'll try to understand.

"Understand"?

Ms. Seo.

You really know how to make a fool of someone.

Did you say you'll try to understand me?

Then let me ask you something.

I saw Director Seo's tie clip on your desk.

Why haven't you given it back to him yet?

How am I supposed to interpret that?

I don't understand what you mean.

I saw his tie clip on your desk.

Do you have feelings for him?

Ji Eun.

Your jealousy is over the line.

Why don't you go and check if it's on my desk?

See? It's not here.

Why would I keep something that belongs to Director Seo?

Don't I deserve an apology?

I'm guessing you got rid of it.

That's really enough.

Must I continue to put up with her humiliating comments?

It looks like she has a misunderstanding.

You're the one who has a misunderstanding.

I saw Ms. Seo...

wiping your tie clip with a handkerchief.

I'm so glad the witness is here.

Director Seo.

That tie clip...

used to belong to my late father.

I really don't understand why they keep accusing me...

of something that's not true.

There's no reason for us to falsely accuse you of something.

We're just telling the truth.

That's enough.

Just get back to work, everyone.

Listen, Secretary.

I don't know what you're trying to do,

but let me tell you something.

If you lie, you get punished.

Come on. Let's not stay here.

Drink some warm water to soothe yourself.

You have a cold, so you shouldn't drink cold water.

I mean, Ms. Lee.

As for your medicine...

I didn't buy any.

I wanted to buy you one, but I thought you might not like it.

I know you hate me.

I don't hate you.

But you don't like me either.

Let's get to work.

Must you keep a distance just because I told you I like you?

We need to keep working together.

I bet you're more upset at Jung Min than you are at his crazy secretary.

What did I tell you? I'm a better guy than Jung Min.

Good morning, Ms. Lee. Mr. Shin.

Hello.

I heard you accused Ms. Seo of stealing.

All the employees seem to know about it.

I also heard about it in the elevator.

Ms. Lee would never do something like that.

I was very close to saying something.

Why didn't you?

You should've slapped some sense into those who gossiped.

But what really happened?

Let's just get to work.

Let's not care about the rumor.

Despite the scandalous incident that occurred this morning,

I have good news.

Most Company called...

and told me the CEO wishes to do a meeting with us.

I guess we're finally going to get an investment...

thanks to Mr. Shin's character sketch.

The character is really cute, so I bet it'll be a huge hit.

It looks like Mr. Shin is our lucky charm.

That's enough. You're making me feel awkward.

Thanks to your approval...

of letting us use your character sketch,

I think we could look forward to some good news.

Will you treat me to a meal then?

Of course.

The way you treated Ms. Lee earlier...

was way out of line.

Ms. Lee is someone whom I'll be marrying.

I'd like you to treat her just like you treat me.

You didn't bring her coffee even though you knew she was here.

And that naturally made me think that you must have...

something against her.

I'm sorry, sir.

You know very well that my enemies...

are trying to use Ms. Lee to get in my way...

prior to the chairman appointment.

And because of that, she's going through something...

that she wouldn't have gone through if it weren't for me.

I made myself clear,

and I trust that you'll do as I say...

since you're my secretary.

I was too thoughtless, sir.

I must've gotten angry...

because I felt embarrassed and upset...

when she asked me if I had feelings for you earlier.

I guess she mistakenly thinks...

that other women might also find me attractive.

You are attractive.

Well, it's always nice to hear that.

I'm sorry for causing trouble.

I'll be off now.

Your tie clip is right here.

I'm going to tell Ms. Lee that I found it.

Okay, sir.

Is there something you need to say?

Well...

(From Seo Jung Min, To Mr. Seo Jung Min)

Jung Min...

My son wanted to thank you for yesterday.

To Mr. Seo Jung Min.

Thank you for yesterday. I had so much fun.

I want you to come every day.

Next time, let's play board games instead of reading books.

To Mr. Seo Jung Min. From Seo Jung Min.

Tell Jung Min that I'll visit him soon.

Thank you, sir.

There's no need to thank me.

I also had fun because Jung Min was so cute.

He also reminded me of my childhood.

Is that how you stay so healthy?

No, it's how I stay slim.

It's easy to consume, and I don't need to go on a diet.

It's not too bad.

I guess everything's going well.

(Reform Team Report)

Haven't you heard from the company in Boston yet?

No, I'll tell them to hurry.

Will you please excuse us?

Do you not know how to greet someone?

I guess you don't want to treat me with respect.

I'm sure you blackmailed me for a reason.

You're quite daring. Have a seat.

You have CCTV footage of me taking the proposal...

from Bisang Textile,

so I'll have to do as you say.

Do you want me to keep you updated on Director Seo?

You're very amusing.

How long have you been Jung Min's stalker?

I'm not his stalker.

I'm just trying to protect him.

Then I guess I won't have to mess with Ji Eun anymore...

since you'll be doing it yourself.

She's of no help to the director.

I'm starting to feel bad for Ji Eun.

And you make me pity Jung Min.

You'd better watch what you say if you want me to help you.

You're feisty.

If you do as I say,

I might help you seduce Jung Min.

Here.

You have a cold.

You should go and get some rest.

No, I want to see you out first.

We should've moved in earlier.

Every day is like paradise.

You're exhausted from the move,

and you don't have to work today.

Why not skip volunteer work just for today?

No.

This is our first time doing volunteer work at a sanatorium.

We're going to help the patients take a bath, so I can't skip it.

The skies must've brought us together...

so I'd learn to be as kind as you.

I'd love to go with you next time.

That'd be great.

Once you help them and see how happy it makes them feel,

it makes you feel very happy too.

And you feel grateful.

Life flies by before you know it.

So I'd like to spend the rest of my life doing something meaningful.

I'll be off now. It's far away, so I'll be home late.

Let me know when you come home so I can greet you.

Gosh, it's okay.

You hated coming to a dark and empty house...

back when you lived alone.

I chose to always make sure to greet you when you come home.

That's my utmost priority.

Thank you. I'll be off now.

I'll call you when I leave the sanatorium.

I already told you the precautions,

so everything will be fine.

Mr. Kim can be a bit fussy,

so try to do what he asks.

You should say hello.

Hello, my name is Kang Jin Sung.

It looks like we have a pretty strong connection...

seeing that I'm here today to help you scrub your back.

He has aphasia, so he can't talk.

But he knows how to communicate using the sentence cards.

We don't need those cards. I'm a very quick-witted man.

You don't need to worry.

We still need more time until the bath is ready,

so I'll leave you two to talk.

Goodness, there's no need to thank me.

I'm just doing the least I can to help.

We seem like we're of a similar age, so why don't we be friends?

Goodness, you look great in gray hair.

What was the name of that American actor again?

Oh, I know. You look like Richard Gere.

I must not have thanked people a lot in the past...

seeing that I'm always...

thanking people after I became like this.

I wonder what kind of life I led.

You know what? How about this?

Here. You can use this instead of thanking me.

I just want to be a stepping-stone.

And in order to do that, I need to become the chairman.

Once I become the chairman, I'm going to change the board rules.

And I'll have two separate chairmen for the company and board.

I agree with your plan to hire a CEO from outside the company...

to avoid owner management.

But why not think of promoting someone from within?

If that person is motivated to reform the company,

moral, transparent, righteous, and has the right mindset,

I wouldn't mind promoting someone from within the company.

I respect your flexible mindset.

I have a meeting outside, so I should go now.

(CEO Lee Ji Eun)

If you're angry for a minute,

that means you've wasted 60 seconds of happiness.

Let's put everything aside and go on a date tonight.

Do you want me to be funny, extravagant,

sexy, or obedient?

What kind of guy do you want? You can choose.

Actually, never mind. I'll be all those things.

So please make time for me.

I'll go to your office after I get off work.

You're going to make me happy, so of course I'll make time.

Am I making this too easy for you? Maybe I should've rejected.

What is it?

I need your help.

Can we talk outside?

Don't get the elevator.

I'm going to take the stairs starting from today.

Is that why you're wearing sneakers today?

Did you put my heels in my car?

Yes, I put them according to the height of each heel.

So you finally got it.

It took you three years to finally learn that I wear...

different heels depending on how I feel that day.

I'll try harder to support you.

Don't smile. You might grow on me.

Go back inside and get ready to go home.

Thank you for spending all day humoring me.

You don't need to follow me outside.

Are you saying Alley's birth mother...

wishes to meet you?

Around two years ago,

before Alley died,

the orphanage that raised her called...

and told her that her birth mother wishes to meet her.

But she coldly refused, saying that she doesn't get why...

she suddenly wishes to meet her after 20 years.

She had a lot of scars.

We met after she ran away from the family that adopted her.

And we were only 17 years old.

You both must've relied on each other a lot.

Back then, you were also going through a hard time...

because of your mother's remarriage to Chairman Chung.

Jung Min helped us out a lot saying he felt bad for us.

What should I do?

I think she reached out to me after she saw my social media page.

How am I going to tell her Alley's dead? She doesn't even know.

I know it's bad news, but she deserves to know.

She's her birth mother.

That day was like a nightmare. I'm scared to think about it again.

Alley got shot and died right before my eyes.

It makes me furious just by thinking about it.

How am I supposed to tell her what happened?

A Jun, that's enough. You'll get hurt.

I guess this is why I could easily tell...

that you were a man with a lot of scars.

I know.

I know.

I know how painful it feels...

to see someone you love...

die right before your eyes.

My dad was covered in blood,

and he died right before my eyes.

My dad died because of me.

A Jun, did you just hear something?

Ms. Seo, I'm going to turn off my cell phone after work.

So wait until tomorrow to tell me anything about work.

(Aunt)

(Phoenix 2020)

Do you think this is a hotel or your playground?

When will you finally grow up?

- Jung Min, stop it. - Stop acting so haughty.

It'll give you a hard time, and things will get very confusing.

What is she hiding from me?

Do you know something? You never...

let me think that you're fully mine.

Are you behaving this way because of Ji Eun?

Listen to me, Jung Min. I'm going to destroy you.
