Mr. Koji!

Oops, that's our employee.

She saw us.

What should we do then?

We were caught by an employee while we're doing "something".

Because you think that if I find out about your past, I can't take it, right?

I can accept everything, except for what you just did!

I can't stand seeing you two kiss like that!

I'm not as perfect as what you thought.

I already told you that I never care about who you used to be

or what you used to do.

The person I love is this Koji.

Ms. Noom Nim.

Oh.

The client said our previous project was amazing

and we're likely to get a new one soon.

Ms. Noom Nim.

If we can get through it, we may get four times the bonus.

Four times the bonus!

I'm so happy.

That's great.

Sorry I'm late.

I was welcoming the board members from our Japan headquarters.

Sorry. If we'd known they were coming, we'd have given them a better welcome.

It's alright.

The reason of their visit

is to announce the new regulations from the Japan headquarters.

Until now, they've allowed flexibility at ViperX Thailand to align with the target country.

But from now on,

the exact same regulations as the Japan headquarters' will apply.

We're going to replace the whole management team.

More people from Japan will be transferred here to take on management roles.

Excuse me, is this going to affect the current employees?

To systemize our business, half of the staff will be laid off.

How could you do this?

Laying off half of the employees?

Who would want to continue working for you?

You know who I am.

What you're doing is not increasing the parent company's profits.

We'll have to pay millions of severance pay.

I know, but it's as they say,

you can't solve a problem without making some sacrifice.

What's not important needs to be cut out.

If you're not happy with it, then get ready to go back to being a bar host.

Please.

Please don't be me.

I have to pay for my mortgage, my car, and my mom's living expenses.

How will I live?

Finding a job is difficult these days.

Plus, I'm already 30.

It's going to be hard for me to get a new job.

If I got laid off, I wouldn't know what to do either.

You'll be fine because you're still young.

You have a future, unlike me.

I'm old.

Guys, please calm down. Don't think too far ahead.

We must get it together.

I got laid off.

Hey, me too.

Me three.

What about you, Nim?

Uh,

I haven't got anything yet.

Why are you the only one who didn't get laid off?

It's not fair. I'm going to ask Boss how they made the decision.

Was it based on our performance or a lottery? It's disgusting.

Don't you all want to know why Noom Nim wasn't let go?

Don't bother, Ploy. I'll ask him myself.

You have no manners.

Why didn't you knock first?

I want to talk to Mr. Koji.

You can talk to me.

He and I are like the same person.

I guess you came to ask Koji to save everyone from getting laid off.

The person you should be begging for help from is me, not him.

I know.

I'm the reason you did that to everyone else.

Yes, you're right. Smart girl.

If you want to save everyone from getting laid off,

you will resign and I may reconsider what to do with this branch.

Boss.

Ms. Nim, go wait outside.

- But... - Please.

Nim, how did it go?

I don't know yet.

I'm really sorry for everything.

All this time,

I know you've been genuine with me.

It's my fault.

I wasn't genuine with you from the start,

Ms. Rena.

I don't want you to forgive me.

But I beg you,

please don't use the careers of other people who have nothing to do with this as leverage.

You know what I want.

If you'd changed your mind and agreed to be mine,

this would have been over by now.

Unfortunately, now I want more than that.

What do you want me to do?

Kneel down and beg me.

Here you are.

I need to talk to you.

Perfect timing.

I need to talk to you as well.

That you're the reason your colleagues got laid off?

Or you want some sex advice?

I can tell you what Koji likes.

Don't use that to get rid of me.

It's not going to work.

Are you saying you don't care that he and I slept together,

or are you so innocent that you think I'm lying?

I don't think you're lying, seeing how serious you are about this.

Koji told me everything about you and him.

But it was in the past.

We all have pasts.

Are you gloating that even though I slept with him,

you're still the one for him?

I'm not.

I'm just saying his past is what I have to accept and live with,

no matter how hard it is.

So please stop.

You don't know anything.

You don't know what I've done for him.

What have you done for him that I haven't? Tell me.

Thank you, Ms. Rena.

Thank you?

Thank you for helping Mr. Koji back then...

and made him become who he is today.

You may think I don't understand you,

but I do understand everything.

I understand the feelings of a woman who does everything for love with all her heart.

And I understand why you're so mean to me.

You probably don't want to hear me say this,

but I want to tell you.

I will do my best to take care of him.

No matter what happens, I will never let go of his hand.

Stop! Just stop already!

You said you'd never let go of his hand?

I'm the one who will never let go of his hand!

You'd better keep your word.

Nim,

do you have any update about Boss and Rena's discussion?

They've been in there since noon.

Perfect timing.

I need to talk to you as well.

I don't know anything.

Why are you screaming? What's going on?

We're not being laid off anymore.

Boss must have done something to help us.

I love you, Boss, for not abandoning insignificant employees like us.

Mom, I'm not being laid off anymore.

Hello.

I'm not selling my car anymore. I want it back.

It's good to be you.

You don't have anything to worry about like the others do.

Sleeping your way to the top is easy, isn't it?

What does that mean?

Nothing. I mean you've worked your way to the top.

Is it done?

Okay, good.

Kneel down and beg me.

You know what?

Kneeling down to apologize for something that's not your fault

is considered a dire matter for Japanese people.

If it will make you stop,

I will quit myself.

I beg you.

Please don't fire any of the staff.

They didn't do anything wrong.

It's my fault.

This...

This is exactly why I like you.

What are you doing here alone?

You've given up?

I've come to my senses.

Now I know why Koji loves that girl.

Come on.

You're not right for him.

[Keep at it!] [Don't give up.] [For every dark night, there's a brighter day.] [I'm rooting for you.]

[Believe in yourself.] [I want to see your face.] [I understand you.] [Keep going.] [You can do it!]

Nim.

What's up?

An urgent order for you.

- Is this... - Yes.

You are transferring back to being Boss' secretary, effective today.

Yay!

It was a direct order from Ms. Rena.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Congratulations, Noom Nim.

You're finally getting back to doing what you do best.

I'm glad.

Ms. Rena gave me a chance.

But I would do my best, no matter the role.

Really?

I'm sure you'll do it better with Boss.

And you'll get to be with him all the time.

Ploy, I don't think you should be worrying about me or my performance.

Worry about your own work.

Because when I'm not working in this department anymore,

who's going to help correct your unreliable translation?

Hey!

Be careful.

If you keep incorrectly translate reports for clients,

you'll get a bad annual performance review.

No offense, but I just don't want our work to suffer

because someone's careless at what they do.

But thank you for everything...

and sorry I confused you by transferring back and forth.

When we run into each other after this, you can still say hello to me.

Don't ignore me, okay?

Hey!

Watch it!

I'm sorry!

Don't get me wrong. That was just a goodbye hug.

Where are you going?

I'm going back to Japan.

I found no issues from the audit.

Congratulations on getting your position back.

Are you leaving right away?

Yes. I don't have any business here anymore.

I wish you lots of happiness.

Boss, what did you do to get things back to normal?

I won't tell you. It's a secret.

Why? You have to tell me. Did you do something bad?

Yes. I hugged and kissed her.

Did you believe that?

- No. - Good.

Tell me. I want to know.

After the storm comes the rainbow, just like what they say.

I'm back to being a secretary.

And most importantly, I get to be near Boss again.

I'm lucky in love and lucky in love.

I'm so extremely happy.

You're here already.

Good morning.

Someone's early because she's happy she got her old position back.

I look forward to working with you.

Of course I'm happy. I can now cause my boss trouble again.

You won't. You're good at your job.

By the way, did you bring me my meal box?

I forgot.

How could you forget? I'm so hungry.

Just kidding. I brought it.

We don't have problems in our family anymore.

The debt is no longer a concern and Nut is finally serious about working.

Mr. Koji comes to my house very often.

Now my mom calls him another son of hers.

But there's one thing I still worry about.

- Bye. - Bye.

Come to my room.

Oh my god!

That woman was so posh.

I never thought I'd get to work with her.

They're all targeting our boss. He's so popular these days.

Since Ms. Rena went back to Japan, women have been approaching him every day.

Of course, he's voted hottest, single CEO of 2020.

Everyone is interested in our company.

Stop!

Why are you guys talking here? Don't you have work to do?

What? I just wanted to gossip with you.

You're his secretary. I want to know who he's flirting with.

I don't know. Don't ask me.

I don't know anything!

She still has no idea we're rooting for her.

Ms. Nezumi.

Hey, Ms. Noom Nim.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Something is wrong.

You're confused.

I'm not confused. I'm mad.

Really? About what?

You only work with young woman clients these days.

I don't know if it's because they think you're a single CEO.

Wait.

- Let go. - No.

Why are you smiling?

Because someone's jealous.

You said yourself you didn't want anyone to know we're together.

Oh, so this is all my fault?

- Yes. - You're crazy.

- Wait. - What now?

What will you say...

if I announce it to everyone right now?

Don't. I don't want you to lose your clients.

I understand that it's work.

Hey!

What?

Hey!

- Stop! - No.

Let go!

"I understand that it's work."

That's not true. You don't understand, Nim.

You're possessive.

You're jealous.

You want him to be yours only.

Hey, keep it down.

Why did you have to raise your voice at her?

Right?

Because you're annoying.

Stop playing hard to get.

If I'd been there, I'd have slapped you.

You're the queen of sarcasm.

- I'm annoyed. - I'm annoyed too.

- With her, right? - With you.

She's our friend. You should be on her side.

Fine.

Nim, maybe you could do less of what you do now.

Playing too hard to get won't get you anywhere these days.

Exactly.

If you don't mark your territory, other women won't stop flirting with your boss.

What do I do? Do I have to pee?

No, you don't pee. You seduce him.

Seduce him.

Play with his head.

Play with his head, so he knows you are not a little mouse.

You are not a little mouse he can put anywhere.

Yes, you're a tiger woman who chooses her own prey.

Paw!

Mr. Koji.

I thought our meeting was on Monday.

I'm flying tomorrow morning, so I decided to come here first.

I'd like to make some changes to our next year's campaign,

but we can discuss that after you're done talking to these guys.

Alright.

Seduce him.

Play with his head, so he knows you are not a little mouse.

Don't touch my girlfriend!

Did you guys trick me?

Can you help me piss Mr. Koji off?

Of course. That's what I do best.

Ms. Nim asked for my help.

I'll leave you to talk with your boss.

Koji,

isn't this what needs to be done?

If you don't do it, things will keep going the same way.

You all heard it right.

Ms. Noom Nim is my girlfriend.

Will that do, Ms. Nezumi?

My girlfriend.

Kiss!

Kiss!

Kiss!

Kiss!

I believe many girls dream of being a fairytale princess...

and hope to meet the prince of their dreams who's handsome, perfect,

and willing to take care of them for the rest of their lives.

My boss is that prince for me.

I used to think my dream seemed out of reach,

but now it came true right in front of me.

Why do you keep looking at my photos?

I'm right in front of you.

I wanted to.

Do you need anything?

Book me a hotel in Japan.

Book a hotel? Why?

You don't have any work in Japan.

- Or is it in the schedule? - I'm taking you there for vacation.

Vacation?

As promised, I'm taking you to Japan.

Are you serious?

You're not taking me there for work, right?

Where do you want me to take you then?

You're always flirting, Mr. Koji.

I'm flirting with you because I like you.

Then I hope you keep flirting with me for a long time.
