(Episode 35)
You shouldn't quit so easily.
You've worked there for 14 years.
To tell you the truth, I received a job offer.
A job offer?
Yes. From my former manager who supervised me...
when I was new.
They say the chief director position is vacant at the moment.
If I accept this offer,
I'll get paid 1.5 times my current pay,
and there will be a bonus every year.
So are you going to accept it?
Is it a reliable company?
It's bigger than Cometome.
It's number one in the industry.
Besides, it is a great offer.
With the bonus and my severance pay,
I should be able to pay for the ring.
But I'm not sure what to do.
I'll ponder on it some more.
Anyway, our lease is up soon, so we'll have to renew it.
And I bet they'll increase the deposit.
So if I spend my entire severance pay,
we'll have another problem to deal with.
That's true.
Anyway, weigh all the pros and cons before you make your decision.
Yes, I should.
I'll think about it carefully.
I must find it, no matter what.
So...
I took out the bread wearing the ring.
Then I took it off and put it right here to open the jam jar.
That much I remember.
Then... Right, my husband called,
and I remember getting off the phone in the office.
What did I do after that?
That's right. I came back here after getting off the phone.
Then I opened the jam jar and...
What?
My gosh!
There it is!
Finally, I found it!
Hold on. What do I do now?
How should I return this?
My gosh, honey.
Are you heading out to work already?
Yes. I want to go in early...
so I can look for the ring again.
I feel so bad that you have to do this.
It's so unfair.
I can hand in my resignation, but I'd hate...
to waste my severance pay on something like this.
I've been so frugal, trying to save every penny.
I'm sorry.
I'm your husband but can't even help you at a time like this.
There's nothing you can do to help.
And don't worry. I'll get it all sorted out.
You should get some more sleep. See you later.
Okay, have a good day.
Mother, I'm heading out to work.
Please fix breakfast for Nam Gu and Ri An.
My gosh, you're going to work with an empty stomach?
You should at least drink this.
My gosh. Thank you, Mother.
You're headed to the office, right?
Sorry?
Yes, where else? Why?
Oh, it's nothing.
Cho Hee, don't worry about the house chores at all.
Starting today, I'll cook for Ri An and make sure she studies.
So don't worry about a thing and just focus on work.
Thank you, Mother.
Don't mention it.
We're a family, so we should help each other out.
All right, then. I'll see you later.
All right. Work hard!
Okay, I will.
Couldn't she have finished this?
(Lecture Hall)
Seul A!
Yes? What is it?
Would you be interested in tutoring an elementary school kid?
Tutoring?
Yes, it's such an easy job.
It's a rare opportunity, but I can...
Gong Ju A!
You're so dead.
Come here!
You sly little witch.
How dare you seduce my husband?
Darn you!
It hurts! Let go of me, and we'll talk.
What? It hurts?
You little brat. You destroyed my family.
And what? This hurts?
You adulteress!
What are you doing at a school?
Let go of her at once.
This sly vixen seduced my husband.
They were going to move in together in an apartment he owns!
No, you got the wrong idea!
I hired you as a tutor for my child.
How dare you seduce my husband?
When did it start? When did you two start seeing each other?
Don't do this. You can talk it out.
Please let go of her.
Who are you? Are you in on it with this gold digger?
What? What did you say?
If that's not the case, get lost!
Honey! Honey, please. You got the wrong idea.
This is a misunderstanding. Let go of her.
My dear Ms. Gong did nothing wrong.
- This is getting more messed up. - It's a misunderstanding.
She got the wrong idea.
"My dear Ms. Gong"?
You two are dead meat.
Help!
Please, ma'am. You can't do this here.
- Let go of them. - Let go!
Hey! What are you doing?
Looks like it's been sorted out,
so just be on your way, guys.
My gosh, I can't believe Ju A did such a thing.
That's why this lady here...
assaulted you at your school.
Is that it?
No. I did not assault her, detective.
This little vixen here...
deliberately seduced my husband.
Ms. No, how many times must I tell you?
You got the wrong idea.
Mr. Bang kindly gave me his credit card...
and told me to use it whenever I needed to.
But then, when I thought about it, it felt wrong on many levels.
So I tried to return it to him several times.
Yes, she is telling you the truth.
I told her I didn't want the credit card back.
Keep your mouth shut.
Then what about the studio apartment?
Why did you ask him to give you the apartment?
That's a misunderstanding too!
She had to deal with an urgent situation...
I told you to keep your mouth shut.
Also, why would you worry about her urgent situation?
Well, that's...
Ms. Gong, what would you like to do?
Do you want to press charges against this lady?
Detective, why are you asking her that?
You should be asking me!
I'll put both of them behind bars for adultery.
Goodness. Sounds like you live in your own bubble.
What?
Ms. No, deal with your marriage problems at home.
How could you do this to me at my school?
What should I do now? My hair...
My gosh.
I promised you that I'd protect you no matter what, Ms. Gong.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Bang Hyung Do!
This little...
Ma'am, please sit down!
Gosh, you jerk!
Why would you protect her?
Honey, you can't do this here. Please, honey.
Ms. Gong, run! Go!
She'll kill you if she catches you. Go!
Get out of here!
Run!
(Police That Citizens Trust)
I'm so humiliated.
I can't believe this happened in front of Professor Seo.
What will he take me for?
(Police)
(Fair and Kind Police)
What are you doing here, Pool Ball?
I brought your things.
Why are you acting nice? This is annoying.
I'm not nice.
Even a total stranger would do this much.
I'm not sure what it is that you want to know, but...
I'm not curious.
Return the jacket the next time you see me.
Wait and see.
I won't let this slide.
(Sisters Side Dish)
If I close my savings account...
and get all my savings together...
I think I'll have enough.
Should I send this money or not?
This is all I have.
(Poong Geum, the money you sent is not enough.)
Poong Geum, the money you sent is not enough.
They're saying they can't let me go until they receive the rest.
Help me, please.
I want to get out of here as soon as possible...
so I can meet you and your family.
(They're saying they can't let me go until they receive the rest.)
(Help me, please.)
(I want to get out of here as soon as possible...)
(so I can meet you and your family.)
I'll send the rest.
I want to meet you too, babe.
(I'll send the rest.)
(I want to meet you too, babe.)
Thank you, honey.
I'll call you once I arrive in Korea.
Let's meet as soon as we can.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
(Let's meet as soon as we can.)
(I want to spend the rest of my life with you.)
(Sisters Side Dish)
Hey, Jang Geum. You're back.
Delivering the side dishes is more work than I thought.
Jang Geum, I have to go to the bank.
The bank? Again?
Yes, I have to take care of something.
I'll tell you everything later.
You haven't forgotten about the dinner today, right?
(An Dong Jun)
Of course, I remember. I'll see you in the evening.
(I'll see you in the evening.)
Has anyone seen the PPT printout for Rena Beverages?
I gave it to you earlier.
You did? I can't find it.
Look around carefully. Maybe it's on your desk or in your drawer.
My gosh, the ring is here.
- What? - You found the ring?
My gosh, it really is the ring.
How did it end up in your drawer?
I looked through this drawer multiple times.
This is so odd.
My gosh, what a relief.
Thank goodness.
Who knew it'd suddenly turn up like this?
Didn't we look through the drawers together?
- Yes, we did. - It is strange.
- My gosh. - I was so worried.
What a relief, seriously.
- My goodness. - I'm relieved too.
I can't believe this.
Ms. Seo, where was the ring all this time?
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
Saying sorry won't cut it.
We lost the project, and they lost trust in us too.
The company's reputation has been ruined.
Anyway, I'm glad we found the ring.
Ms. Seo and I will return the ring...
to the CEO of Elegance in person and formally apologize to them.
I'm really sorry, Mr. Ko.
Submit a written apology,
and we'll have to take disciplinary action against you.
Understood. I'll follow the company's decision.
You see, Ms. Seo may really resign at this rate.
She found the ring.
My goodness. She did find the ring,
but if they proceed with a disciplinary hearing,
she'll have to take a pay cut for at least six months,
which is technically like telling her to quit.
That's what everyone is saying now.
That's true. The higher-ups aren't being protective of her.
Seo Cho Hee is smart and competent,
but we all know that she's quite a troublemaker.
Right. Our Pit Bull Terrier who never lets go once she bites.
Exactly. Remember when she didn't get the promotion?
She explicitly expressed her discontent.
And the affair with Mr. Yang...
That was quite a scandal too.
No wonder nobody is fond of her.
All right. So what do you think?
About what?
Do you think Ms. Seo will end up leaving Cometome?
Hey, she could get fired, but she'd never leave...
of her own accord.
Unless she gets an offer from another company.
Everything will be okay now that we've found the ring, right?
It'll be hard for her to avoid disciplinary action.
Why?
Because of the ring, we lost the project,
and there was all the fuss about it.
In any case, I'm so glad that we found the ring,
but it was in Ms. Seo's drawer all this time?
I find it very hard to believe.
I agree. We combed through the office but couldn't find it.
How did it turn up all of a sudden?
Maybe someone put it there on purpose.
What do you mean?
Think about it.
Maybe someone had hidden it somewhere to get her in trouble.
Then with the police involved, things started to get out of hand,
so the person got scared and put it in Ms. Seo's drawer.
I think that's what happened.
I see. Good point.
I agree.
- Is that really what happened? - It seems likely.
Gosh, no way.
When did this happen?
- Honey, no! - Come here.
My gosh. This happened just before Kang Rim's lecture.
Look here.
Stop now, or I'll call the police.
- Go ahead! - Is she No Won Ju?
Call the police.
- My gosh. - I'll put them behind bars...
- Goodness. - for adultery.
Yes, come in.
- You little... - It looks like...
These are what you asked for. I'll leave them here.
Okay, thanks. By the way, did you see it too?
Pardon?
The video of the commotion right before Professor Seo's class.
Right. Yes, I saw it.
Everyone at school has been talking about it.
Gosh, people are so cruel.
Maybe there's a backstory people don't know about.
How could they post this without knowing the full story?
(Hankang University, it's so shocking.)
Stop now, or I will...
Ju A is in deep trouble now.
This video has gone viral.
I'll put them behind bars for adultery.
I have to say, that lady is really scary.
I feel like my scalp hurts from watching this.
Professor Seo!
That must've been so shocking for you too.
I had no idea Ju A was capable of doing such a thing.
I was going to schedule a dinner with Ju A and you, my in-law.
Thank goodness this happened before that.
Can you refrain from calling me your in-law at school?
Come on. What's wrong with it?
We're in-laws, so why can't I call you as such?
Let me say this again.
You and I are practically strangers.
I'm off.
Gosh, he's so cranky.
Anyway, what's Ju A going to do now?
She humiliated herself in front of the professor she has a crush on.
I wonder if she can keep attending this school.
So? Don't tell me you sent him that huge amount of money.
Of course, I did.
They were going to kill him.
Have you lost your mind?
You've been duped. A romance scam. Don't you know?
A romance scam?
My gosh.
I did hear some women were foolish enough...
to fall for such scams,
but I never thought my aunt could be one of them.
Hey, you are wrong. Chris is not a con man. Believe me.
This is serious.
Auntie Poong Geum, how did you get yourself into this mess?
No, let's go to the police station right now.
If we report this now, you may be able to get your money back.
I told you. You're wrong. Why are you being like this?
My love, Poong Geum. I just boarded my flight to Korea.
Finally, we can meet.
(Finally, we can meet.)
Look, Bo Ri. Chris is coming to Korea.
What?
Auntie Poong Geum, I think...
That's enough.
Don't you dare call him a con man ever again.
And you'd better not tell anyone about this.
You got that?
How can I keep this to myself when I know how much you sent him?
Chris is a doctor, a UN medical officer.
So he can pay me back in no time.
Auntie Poong Geum!
I told you not to worry.
When Chris is here,
I'll have him come over and explain everything,
so don't cause trouble, Bo Ri.
Whatever, suit yourself.
- I'm home. - You're getting in just now?
Yes.
Where is Nam Gu?
He called and said he'd be home late today.
I see.
Seok Gu, isn't this Nam Gu's shirt?
It is.
I told him not to wear it,
but he said he had nothing to wear.
Hi, Cho Hee.
Seok Gu.
Can we talk?
Goodness. I knew this would happen, you fool.
What?
Gosh, why does she want to talk to me now?
Goodness.
I had been living in warm countries,
so I had nothing to wear. That's why I borrowed his shirt.
What's the problem?
Well, you have your sweatshirts and T-shirts.
Why must you wear Nam Gu's dress shirt...
that's been dry-cleaned? Just why?
Oh, this has to be dry-cleaned?
No wonder it looks so nice.
Seok Gu, how much longer will you stay here?
You said you'd only stay here for a little while,
so I haven't told anyone about your divorce.
I've thought about it.
And you see, I wouldn't mind staying here.
I can be a good son to my mother for a change...
and watch Ri An grow.
What?
I'm just going to tell Mother.
I can't live like this anymore.
Don't bother. I'll tell her myself.
I'll tell her that her foolish son got a divorce and lost everything.
I'm in this mess now because of my ex-wife's lawyer.
And turns out, that lawyer is your brother.
What do you say?
My gosh.
Will it be okay if I tell her that?
Are you really going to take it this far?
This is why I said we should try to get along.
My gosh, this shirt is very nice.
Unbelievable.
(Call List)
You're new, aren't you?
Yes. Was it that obvious?
You just don't seem like the type that needs to do this kind of work.
I only want to take customers who are going to Myeongjin-dong.
That's where I live.
If you see a call for Myeongjin-dong,
please send it my way. Thank you in advance.
Who'd give up on long-distance jobs and send them to you?
You should stay focused...
and snatch them before anyone else does.
Okay, I will. Thank you for your advice.
Thank you!
(The All-Round Wife)
Will it be okay?
She does anything for money.
Go to the hospital now! What are you waiting for?
What's going on?
Thank you, sir. Take care!
That's not Nam Gu. Is something up?
Where is she off to? Why is she all dressed up?
I'll call you.
Hold on. I'll give you a ride home.
I'll take you home safely.
