- Cheers! - Cheers!
Cheers.
I'm feeling these drinks today.
It's been a while, so let's drink our fill.
Flip them just once.
It won't taste good if you keep flipping it around.
Sure.
How was your first day?
Let me know if anyone is harassing you.
No one is harassing me.
These days, doing that can cause serious trouble.
Ms. Goo, I'm sorry for what happened today.
I'll treat you to a meal later. From Hwang Jin Goo.
What's with that smile?
Right! It wasn't just my first day.
Ji Seok was appointed as Hyesung Group's head director.
- No way. Really? - No way. Really?
So, his recruitment offer was from Hyesung Group?
No way.
That was why he didn't tell us.
Gosh, it was my day off, so I didn't see his appointment.
Did Uncle Ji Seok also get a job, Auntie?
Yes, and it's a very high position.
Gosh.
That makes all of us the Hyesung Group family.
What are the chances?
Not me, Auntie Ji Eun.
Why not? Eun Chong, you can grow up and become a part of Hyesung Group.
- I really will! - Of course.
Hey, in your dreams.
Just eat this and grow taller.
- Hey, speak for yourself. - Ouch.
I told you not to flip it so often!
Corporate Raider Shin Yeo Jin, step down from your office!
He wielded the knife in the air...
with the blade facing down.
Why was he surprised if he tried to stab her?
Did he really intend to stab someone?
Good grief.
It's a huge relief that you don't need stitches.
There's your specialty medicine, honey.
- It must hurt. - It doesn't.
Of course, it does.
Be careful.
Don't make my heart drop.
I won't.
Hello.
I was on my way to your office to report on the Dubai contract.
We met here, so let's go to your office.
Do you want to do that? Let's go.
Hey, Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Hwang, Hanguk Hotel canceled their contract with us.
What are you talking about?
Canceling the contract?
What?
Find out where Director Jang is.
Director Jang of Hanguk Hotel?
Yes, I need to meet him and find out what's going on.
I'm sorry. I must leave in a hurry.
- Ms. Yoon can report the Dubai... - I want to hear it from you.
But I will stop by for a tour of your office.
Then, please show him around, Ms. Yoon.
Okay.
How could someone who worked an illegal gig get a job here?
Our agency must be out of its mind.
She must have an amazing connection.
Oops. Will you empty mine, too?
Okay.
Please come and say hello.
He's the newly appointed head director.
Hello, my name is Goo Ji Seok.
- Hello. - Hello.
Please come to Mr. Hwang's office.
Ms. Goo, bring us some tea.
Yes.
He's so good-looking.
He's just my type.
He looks really young, but he's already a head director.
He must be from a good family.
Be quiet. Ms. Yoon is mad at him for taking Mr. Hwang's position.
No way.
I heard it was a big deal to bring Hyesung Tour...
up to the second place in the industry...
in just two years.
It's all thanks to the talented President Hwang Jin Goo.
I heard Hyesung Tour takes up over 30 percent of the rooms...
at Hyesung Hotel in a year.
That much in a year is enough for them to consider us the VIPs.
Thirty percent.
It doesn't benefit the hotel much except that the agency...
gives them regular business.
The unit cost is too low.
I guess you don't know due to the lack of experience.
- Our travel agency is enough... - It's only the second in line.
The travel agency always has the upper hand...
between a hotel and a travel agency.
That's what you think.
I want tea. I can't take caffeine on an empty stomach.
All right.
Well, black tea still has caffeine, so should I make decaf coffee?
Ms. Goo, what are your responsibilities here?
I don't think you're here as Ms. Yoon's personal assistant.
I doubt you got a job here...
to make tea, empty the trash can, and run errands like cleaning shoes.
Isn't that a power trip?
Ms. Goo volunteered to do it.
It was to apologize for the trouble she caused before she started.
Isn't that so, Ms. Goo?
Answer me honestly.
Stick to the facts.
I'm doing this because I want to.
You may leave.
Yes.
You're still the same loving younger brother.
Is it because she's your first love?
Let's focus on work when we're at work, Ms. Yoon.
Sure, let's go back to business.
I took a tour of your office,
got a take on your thoughts, and had a sip of tea,
so I should go.
I'll talk business...
with President Hwang.
Director Jang.
It's not very ethical to do this without a discussion.
We've been partners for a very long time.
Please reconsider.
Please, sir.
Well,
it was an order from above, so I couldn't help you.
We'll pay the compensation.
Was it the president?
What's the reason?
I have no idea, either. I must be somewhere, so excuse me.
Wait, Director Jang.
- Director Jang. - Director Jang.
Sir...
Why did the president do this despite paying the compensation?
Something must be going on.
Hanguk Hotel was in financial trouble, right?
- Do some digging there. - Yes, sir.
(Head Director's Office)
President Hwang met with Director Jang of Hanguk Hotel.
He gave out an order to look into their finances.
He'll be suspicious of the investor.
Let's see how he patches this up before we take the next step.
Yes, sir. And I found an attorney for Mr. Jung Man Soo.
He needed someone to testify that he did not intend...
to harm anyone.
It'll have to be Hwang Jin Goo or Chairwoman Shin.
Chairwoman Shin said she wouldn't show mercy or settle.
She even refused inquiry.
She never looks back on herself.
That was pretty terrible for a mother who lost her daughter.
He got an attorney?
But he had been homeless until recently.
The police were also investigating for the mastermind behind him,
but he kept insisting that he did this alone.
Why? Did you think it was natural for me to have an accomplice...
because Chairwoman Shin ruined thousands of lives?
What did he say to you?
He said the same thing to me.
It's the message from the wish tree.
It fell off the tree, so Se Young picked it up.
I should put it back up.
(Yu Jin, we will meet again!)
Do you still have the same dream?
Secretary Jang.
I need to resume the search for Yu Jin.
Find a different agency.
Yes, ma'am.
- Give me the IOU. - Sure.
So, when did you start working at Hyesung Tour?
Check the amount.
I put in the principal and the interest for the bank.
Did you pull out your lease?
Or did you take out a private loan?
You just need the money, right?
Go tell your mother...
not to mess with my family again now that everything is over.
I won't let her do that twice.
Anyway, thanks for everything, and may we never meet again.
Let me apologize on my mom's behalf.
And thank you for handling this quickly.
You said I'd never be able to marry if I lived with Eun Chong, right?
Let me give you a piece of advice, too.
If you keep letting your mom boss you around,
- you'll never be able to marry. - No, I have a girlfriend...
You have a girlfriend?
- You two-timed me? - No.
Someone set me up after we broke up.
My mom won't leave me alone.
That's what I mean. If you keep living as a mama's boy,
you'll never be happy even if you marry.
- What? - Jeez.
I feel light as a feather after paying you back.
It has felt like a heavy burden to this day.
I felt like I was extorting you, just as your mom said.
- Goodbye. - Why are you so haughty?
What do you expect me to do?
I've been letting your siblings off...
for trashing my car.
Look.
(Lee Seok Ki, you scumbag. What a funny name.)
Did you have evidence that it was my siblings?
Would I do this if I didn't?
Look. I have this video as evidence.
They did a great job at dropping the truth bomb.
I'm so proud of them.
Hey, stop showing that haughty attitude.
I'm only letting them off for old times' sake.
I'm not acting haughty.
You said you'd let them off, so let them off until the end.
You'll delete the video, right?
That depends on you.
Come with me.
Get in.
Get in already.
Please delete the videos on the dash cam and your phone.
Be honest.
You really didn't love me?
You just said that because you were mad, right?
Do you know what love is?
Of course. Don't you?
I don't. I've never been in love.
Everything we did was love.
Something like this.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Yes, that's it. Acting crazy.
That's love.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
I love you, Ha Na.
- Let go of me. Let go! - I won't give you the dash cam.
I'll sue your siblings.
Get back in. I'll give you the dash cam.
Get in, Ha Na.
- Let go of me! - Come back.
I'll give you the dash cam.
- Let go of me! - Ha Na.
Hey.
Hey! Darn it.
- Mr. Hwang. - Are you okay?
Hey, Goo Ha Na!
Who are you?
Why are you touching my woman?
You're crazy.
What is this strange situation?
Who the heck are you?
Did you two-time me, too?
Not everyone is like you.
How do you know Ha Na? What's the relationship here?
Us?
We're on the same side.
You aren't her husband, her boyfriend,
- but someone on the same side? - Don't get it? We're family.
("Between Calm and Passion")
Do you still like this book?
It fell, so I just picked it up.
Put it back on the shelf.
You're still at the archives very often,
both in America and Seoul.
Or did you know this was where I would be?
You're still full of yourself.
"Family?"
Are you two siblings? Are you married?
How are you two family?
Jeez, you're talkative.
Yes, but you probably have no excuses to make...
- when you hit on my woman... - Cut the crap...
and delete the video immediately.
If you don't, I'll sue you for confinement,
blackmailing, and sexual harassment!
- What's going on? - What is it?
Is that Ms. Goo Ha Na?
President Hwang, what's going on?
"President?"
There's a man sexually harassing one of our employees...
in our parking lot under the broad daylight.
- Please call the police. - Wait.
I'll delete the video. Okay?
Happy now?
And the dash cam.
Or I'll report you.
Fine. I'll do it.
I'm deleting it.
(Formatting the memory card will delete all your data. Are you sure?)
(Now formatting your SD card.)
You saw it, right?
Don't ever show up before Ms. Goo or me.
If you do, I'll sue you for confinement,
blackmailing, and sexual harassment right away. Okay?
- Darn it. - Time to go.
You should've reported a punk like that.
He'd be a waste of time for our public authority.
Thank you for your hard work.
Let's go.
Okay.
Anyway, how could he consider molesting his ex-girlfriend...
in his car in the middle of the day?
And it was at the parking lot of her workplace.
He must be out of his mind.
She was a new recruit who started at Hyesung Tour yesterday.
President Hwang was so cool.
He showed up like a knight in shining armor and saved her.
I want to work for a boss like him.
- Right? - Me, too.
Have a hot drink. You must be startled.
Thank you.
Why don't you go home?
You should take the rest of the day off.
I'm fine.
Dating abuse and stalking are big problems these days.
You should be careful.
I never thought it would happen to me.
It felt like I got to know him more after we broke up...
than while we were dating.
I didn't think he was this low.
I'm not sure if this will sound helpful,
but the good never happens without the bad.
So, I hope you forget it soon.
No rain, no flowers.
"No rain, no flowers?"
If it doesn't rain, flowers don't bloom, either.
I feel a little better when I think of that saying...
whenever I face trouble.
No rain, no flowers.
My gosh, it's past lunchtime.
I heard there was a problem with Hanguk Hotel.
Yes, we'll do our best to handle it.
I'll go in first. You can stay a little longer...
until you calm down.
Thank you.
Mr. Hwang.
- May I ask you something? - Sure.
Did I get the job because of someone's order?
I heard I pulled some strings to get a job here,
but I didn't know whose strings I pulled.
- Was it Goo Ji Seok... - It was me.
I hired you.
What? Why?
I told you. I was curious to find out how talented you were.
And your presentation wasn't bad at the interview.
Right, you should start working on your presentation,
the mother-daughter therapy tour.
Really?
Thank you. I'll do my best.
- May I ask you something, too? - Yes.
You got my text message yesterday, right? Why did you leave me on read?
Right, I was going to reply after dinner,
but I forgot. I'm sorry.
Let me know anytime if you want to eat with me.
She'll find out about our contract with Dubai anyway.
Should I tell her?
What happened to you and Goo Ha Na in the parking lot?
Everyone in the office is talking.
I must've seemed very cool.
Someone was harassing my staff, so I helped her.
Her ex-boyfriend was stalking her.
Where is she?
She seemed startled, so I told her to calm down before she came in.
You're very understanding of her.
At most, she'll be out for 10 to 20 minutes.
That's not the problem right now.
Hanguk Hotel's investor...
- must have given them pressure. - "Investor?"
They had a financial problem after expanding the hotel,
and the investor must've included annulling our contract as a term.
Who's the investor?
It's confidential, so it's hard to find.
Even if I find out, it's too late to turn it around.
Can you find our contract with Hanguk Hotel?
Ms. Goo, you don't get to choose how long you're out for lunch.
I'm sorry.
You're already showing misconduct only days after you started.
Confinement and blackmailing? And what's this about molestation?
I'm sorry.
You've turned the president into everyone's gossip, too.
On your first day, you took out your spite on my shoe,
and today, you took advantage of Mr. Hwang to fight the stalker?
You're causing harm in so many ways.
What will you do tomorrow?
- It's not like that... - I don't need your excuses.
If you do this the third time, you'll be struck out. I warned you.
Get our contract with Hanguk Hotel from Soo Jung and make ten copies.
Yes.
"Struck out?"
Is she saying she'll fire me?
What's wrong with you?
Ms. Goo, did you make the copies?
I made seven copies, then the machine began to malfunction.
The service center couldn't come, so I was trying to fix it.
I didn't tell you to fix the copy machine.
Run to another office and make the copies first.
Yes.
(Hotel Business Partnership Agreement)
Ms. Goo.
Who staples paper like this?
Staple them at a 45-degree angle.
(Hotel Business Partnership Agreement)
Ms. Goo.
You should use a clip instead of a stapler.
Do it over.
(Hotel Business Partnership Agreement)
- Ms. Goo. - Yes?
I spilled coffee on it.
I need another copy.
(1. I will walk your dog for 50 cents an hour.)
(2. I will clean your hamster's home for 50 cents.)
(3. I will clean your shoes for 50 cents.)
Why won't anyone call me?
What are you up to, Eun Chong?
Hey, did you make this poster, too?
Yes, but no one is calling me.
Then, let's ask our teacher.
Our teacher? No, hush.
Hush.
You need to find a fault to kick Mr. Goo out?
The news reports on politicians who get into all kinds of scandals.
You just need to cook up something like that.
Find something that can put him down for good with one go.
Goodness, he just started yesterday. You're a bit too impatient.
No, we need to start preparing now...
to drop the scandal in the perfect timing.
Did you lose your touch after your sabbatical year?
Or you can use this chance to rest forever.
Don't say it like that.
Director Choi, you're a legendary man...
who started as a secretary and got promoted to a director.
When the chairwoman passes,
Se Young and President Hwang need...
an elder like you to work with them for a long time...
and lead them in their endeavors, don't you think?
Of course.
Yes, so,
let's nip him in the bud...
before he blooms into a flower.
What's his relationship to Richard Han?
There's a rumor that Director Goo is his stepson.
"Stepson?"
So, Richard Han has no family?
All I know is he's a self-made investor...
who emigrated to America ten years ago.
There's no information about his marriage or family.
Is he sticking to the old-fashioned mystery tactic?
He'll return here soon, so dig up everything you can.
- He didn't intend to harm her? - No.
He just wanted to warn her.
When he wielded the knife, it must've felt threatening, but...
Actually, I found that odd.
He wielded his knife only in the air...
and faced the blade down on purpose.
And he looked shocked when the knife brushed against my hand.
Is that so?
Then, did you think he did not intend to harm?
It coincides with the perpetrator's testimony.
Yes, but I'm sure someone is behind him.
He slandered the chairwoman and said she was a corporate raider.
Starting next month? Really?
Yes, then, please give me a call as soon as you have the schedule. Bye.
We got it.
Ms. Yoon, we'll receive guests from Dubai starting next month.
- That was quick. - Yes.
But Hanguk Hotel is the problem.
We need to secure boarding.
Should I schedule the guides first?
I'll talk to Mr. Hwang.
- Yes. - Yes.
Are you free tonight?
Of course, I am.
(Ji Seok)
Ji Seok is awful.
We don't even eat that much.
How can he invite just Ha Na to dinner?
That's so cheap. Don't you think so?
Are you waiting for someone to call?
Hello? You've reached Lee Eun Chong's home.
It's not the fried chicken and beer place.
No, it's not!
Hey, this isn't Lee Eun Chong's home.
You didn't buy the place.
You don't even pay rent.
Is something worrying you?
What about you?
Life itself is full of worries.
Mine, too.
Ms. Jang, do you also think I'm obsessive?
No, ma'am.
Ten, twenty years would flash by for a parent who lost her child.
You'll always hope for her return.
On top of that, you continue to have the same dream.
I've never had the same dream over and over again.
I keep seeing Yu Jin in tears.
You'll hear good news, Ms. Chairwoman.
Call him and find out where he is.
Hello? Did you arrive?
Yes, I'll go in right now.
Congratulations, Head Director of Hyesung Group.
Ji Eun and Ji Chang are thrilled...
to hear you're the head director. And Eun Chong.
What happened in the parking lot in the afternoon?
You heard?
He was my ex-boyfriend. It's all good now, so don't mind it.
Why do you have such a bad taste in men?
Find someone more decent.
Tell me about it.
I didn't put you in trouble, right?
What about you? Do you face any trouble because of me?
Do Mr. Hwang and Ms. Yoon give you a tough time?
Not at all.
Everyone in my office said you looked so handsome.
Well, I think so, too.
Are you dating anyone?
- Did you date anyone in America... - I have something to say.
Ji Seok.
- Can you drop that... - Quit your job at Hyesung Tour.
What are you talking about?
Quit my job at Hyesung Tour?
You won't find a way in that contract.
We have to give up on Hanguk Hotel if it was their investor.
The guests from Dubai require at least a five-star hotel.
They're coming in next month, so we must maintain this contract.
And you'll have Goo Ha Na as the guide?
Is there any way around it?
I just have to make her quit on her own.
Do I have to keep the Dubai contract a secret from her?
It doesn't feel right.
If she finds out,
she'll try to get a raise and a permanent position here.
I'll manage, so just keep it quiet.
That contract was ours anyway, even without that woman.
But first, let's handle this issue with Hanguk Hotel.
"Duty to notify when there is a change of subcontractors."
Did the subcontractors also change?
I'll check.
Find a job at a different travel agency. I'll find something.
I won't make you feel uncomfortable.
Something like today won't ever happen again.
I can't quit.
It wasn't easy to get this job.
I thought someone gave you the job.
Yes, the president hired me.
He said my experience and talent wasn't so bad,
so he came to my house and told me to come to work...
because he wanted to see how I'd do.
- Why are you laughing? - You were deceived.
There's no hope for Hyesung Tour.
They're the second biggest in the industry.
Also, it was a subsidiary of Hyesung Group,
so you shouldn't say that.
I'm telling you this because I don't want you to regret it.
"Regret?"
Did someone say Hyesung Tour will go down overnight?
Yes.
Why would it go down?
It will happen soon.
So, you need to quit.
Is there a ground?
- What's the reason? - Because I'll do it.
- You? - Yes.
I plan to destroy Hyesung Tour.
(Cinderella Game)
I need to find out who is and why they are oppressing Hyesung Tour.
Bring me the evidence first.
Hyesung Tour will never go down.
I won't let it.
Confidentiality is our priority.
If you find Yu Jin alive,
you will be rewarded beyond your imagination.
What did you say?
There's no reservation?
What are we going to do with all those guests?
I'll set everything back in order.
Was this what you meant?
Destroying Hyesung Tour?
