What's going on? Woo Jin.
You're the lady who cleaned my office yesterday, aren't you?
You messed up yesterday as well.
It's so disorganized.
Was she like this in your office too?
I rushed in and bumped into her.
Hey, you.
You can go.
You two can take a seat.
Take off the mask.
Take it off.
That's enough, Ms. Choi.
I want to check something.
It's strange how she's always in the way.
Go on.
Here you go.
Yong Su Jeong?
Are you out of your mind?
I'm sorry, Ms. Min. I had a reason.
What reason is that?
Can we talk in private?
I can explain.
It looks like you and Director Joo should have coffee without me.
Ms. Min.
I think it's about her dismissal.
Should you bother wasting your time?
I'll know once I talk to her.
Come to my office.
I apologize, sir.
I'll come back to clean up very soon.
What are you up to?
Why? Are you afraid?
So, what do you want to talk to me about?
That painting.
Now that I think about it, you were looking at it yesterday.
It's my mother's work.
(Director's Office)
If she was in the CEO's office yesterday, it means she saw the painting.
How much do you remember, Yong Su Jeong?
You won't believe me, but Lee Je In is my mother.
I'm the girl in the painting.
I can't understand...
how you got your hands on it.
Can I ask what you're getting at?
I want to know where it came from.
I wasn't even aware the painting remained.
I thought it had burned in a fire.
It was a gift.
Do you think your mother could've sold it before her death?
My mother never sold her work.
The painting was at home until she died in a fire.
I can't exactly question the person who gave it to me.
I don't think I can tell you anything else.
Tell me who gifted it to you.
Whatever happened in the past,
I'd like it if that painting were never mentioned again.
It could make me look bad, you see.
I understand. I'll keep quiet.
Ms. Min. Can I stay on as a cleaner?
- What? - I'm not exactly young,
and the economy's not ideal, so I'm having trouble finding work.
Do you mind?
Okay. I'll think about it.
I hope you'll say yes.
Sorry for the trouble.
She's a sly old woman.
There's no need to rush, Ms. Choi.
What's going on?
What did you talk about?
We didn't talk about you, so don't worry, and get back to work.
You want me to stop worrying when you're poking about dressed in this?
What are you plotting?
I'm busy.
I have to finish cleaning the director's office.
What a joke.
Who says you can work here?
You're fired.
Says who?
Don't you have work to do?
Did you finish cleaning the executives' offices?
No. I'll zip off and finish up.
Yong Su Jeong.
Fire her immediately.
Hey.
Didn't you hear me?
I only listen to what makes sense.
If you want me to fire someone,
bring the chairwoman to me.
What?
See this?
This is how important I am.
The only person who can tell me what to do...
is Chairwoman Hwang Jae Rim.
If you interfere with personnel affairs, I'll complain to the union.
Will you get out of the way?
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
- I apologize. - Let's talk.
I bothered you when you must be busy.
What did you talk about with my mother?
He'll only pry if I mention the painting.
This and that.
I messed up while on duty yesterday too.
You went to her office over that?
Director. You said you'd help me.
Can you let me stay on as a cleaner?
Why as a cleaner?
I could find you another job.
No. Right now, this is most important.
Can you help with that?
Don't you think we should fire Yong Su Jeong?
I'm not sure what to do with her.
It wouldn't look ideal if a CEO were to interfere with the hiring...
or dismissal of a lowly cleaning assistant.
She's not just a lowly cleaning assistant.
She's Yong Su Jeong.
She even gave up on a second hearing.
Should we fire her from her cleaning job too?
She needs to make a living.
She does.
I'd interfere if she wanted a lofty title,
but not with this.
I doubt she'll hang around for long.
Let's wait and see how this pans out.
Ms. Choi?
(CEO's Office)
Why are you coddling her again?
Think about the facts.
Wouldn't it look silly if a CEO,
director, and team leader all tried to fire a cleaner?
So you want her to stay around?
It's as she said. Are you afraid?
What?
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
I was at your place yesterday evening.
I heard.
You stayed away to avoid me, didn't you?
Yes.
You gave my mother an extravagantly expensive painting,
and she invited you home for dinner.
Do I have to take part in the odd friendship you two are fostering?
I'm not some stranger.
You don't even want to eat with me?
It's not an ordinary meal.
You rushed into the CEO's office...
to defend Yong Su Jeong who did something silly.
Why are you so cold to me?
What must I do to make you treat me the same?
Be honest.
What?
What's going on between you and Yong Su Jeong?
Whenever you meet, you look anxious...
and she seems angry.
Why is that?
Is she...
someone you should speak so fondly of?
Don't change the topic.
What's going on?
If you're that curious, ask her.
I have nothing to tell you.
I'm surprised you decided to let Yong Su Jeong stay on.
Nothing good will come from upsetting Woo Jin.
I have a feeling...
Yong Su Jeong will help me figure out what Choi Hye Ra's really like.
You had a plan?
Once I'm done using her for all she's worth,
I'll need a reason to ditch her.
I don't want the headache of having to return...
Rules Company's investment.
I need to have a reason to justify her dismissal.
So...
Where do you think Ms. Choi got that painting?
I don't know. Choi Hye Ra...
She smuggled out Lee Doo Hyuk, and I think there's more to her.
She's not transparent.
Shall I ask around some galleries and art dealers?
I have a feeling there's an easier way.
I'll handle that.
What do you want?
I gave you a name. Shouldn't there be a next step?
Why haven't I heard from you?
Didn't you say you thought it was pointless?
You won't give up, will you?
Why would I give up?
When I said the woman wouldn't want to appear,
your expression changed.
You're actually a softie.
I'm not.
I was just wondering if I could find her this way.
You mentioned Lee Young Ae used to work for you.
Wouldn't HR have a record of her or a photo?
Okay. I'll look into that.
Okay, then.
A photo?
Secretary Park. It's me.
Do you know...
if there was a gathering of female staff who used to work at Masung Group?
I think someone mentioned it to me long ago.
I think they met up to go hiking...
and learned to play tennis.
(Kook's Gym)
How dare you react like that to a sacred packet of protein?
I almost died last night.
How much kaoliang liquor did I drink?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
You're more like the type to shower with it than drink it.
How many hangover cures did you drink?
Don't ask. I had seven shots of kaoliang liquor.
I'm his knight.
I'll take Yeo Eui Ju's drink.
You had seven shots and then what?
Did you pass out?
Wait.
What am I remembering?
- Sleep well. - Where are you off to?
What am I to you, Brother Yong?
Don't fall for Joo Woo Jin.
What's wrong?
Everyone's quiet.
Does that mean I can come in tomorrow?
These pesky spam callers.
Come to my car.
They're getting really crafty.
Why would I come to your car?
I'm right next to you.
Hey.
Why...
- Get in. - What?
Why...
Do you want another scandal?
I guess not?
Why don't you sit down?
You must be tired after the early start.
What? Well...
Can you manage staying on as a cleaner?
Of course I can. If only you'll let me.
If that's what you want, you can.
Can I really? Thank you.
Can you tell me why you're doing this?
To make a living. I have few choices.
Do you know it shows when you lie?
Like when you lied in the elevator.
I see. Is that how you knew?
It really is so I can make a living. There's no other reason.
Okay, then. I'll pretend to believe you.
Tell me if you change your mind.
I will.
Then...
Can I go home now?
Do I make you feel uncomfortable?
It's more like...
I have to eat lunch,
and you're busy.
Okay. Let's go.
I'll drop you off.
You don't have to. I live far away...
You don't.
I drove to your place yesterday.
What? Why?
To ask why you disguised yourself as a cleaner.
I was so curious I couldn't stand it.
Were you that curious?
Do you live there with Yeo Eui Ju?
- Director? - Sorry.
Let's go.
What the...
How am I to face Brother Yong now?
She'll remember everything because she can hold her drink.
What have I done?
This is just crazy.
Thanks for the ride.
You can go now.
"Welcome All Guest House?"
My father owns the place.
It's more like a boarding house now.
I see.
Have a good night. See you tomorrow.
Drive safely.
She's about to tell him all her personal info.
She's so elegant even when she's just peeling garlic.
- I'm home. - Welcome. Was it a long day?
Where's Eui Ju?
He's not home yet?
You're not coming from the gym?
There he is.
I'm home too.
Eui Ju. Let's eat.
Yes. Dinner will be ready by now.
As the househusband-ish housekeeper, it's lovely that you come on time.
I don't need to eat. You three can enjoy yourselves.
Yong Su Jeong could say anything at any time.
I need to do something before she causes a headache.
Na Ra, are you still up?
Can we chat?
Well...
I need some money.
If only...
you hadn't given that woman the painting...
I can't...
sell the other paintings right now.
What I'm saying is,
if you can get me a loan...
What's so funny?
I get scared when you do that.
Can you stop it?
Why did I even bother coming to you?
(Welcome All Guest House)
Why didn't you join us for dinner earlier?
What's up with him?
Is he embarrassed about last night?
How much did we drink last night?
I don't remember a single thing.
How did I end up blacking out?
You blacked out too, right?
Yes.
Goodness.
We shouldn't let the alcohol take over.
I passed out while taking shots meant for you.
I can't handle my drink like I used to.
That's too bad.
Enjoy your noodles, then.
Why is he so serious?
Was he afraid I'd ask for some?
My gosh.
You startled me.
Why were you in there?
- What? - Don't go in Eui Ju's room tonight.
Why would I go into his room?
You slept with him last night.
You shouldn't.
Men and women shouldn't...
No. We didn't sleep together.
I saw you.
That was...
I was only in there for a short while.
I won't go into Eui Ju's room again.
Don't say that again, okay? Promise.
(Welcome All Guest House)
You're about to leave?
How come Eui Ju left before you?
You said you opened the gym.
Maybe he has a client who starts early.
You two are working so hard. Good luck.
I should be quick before they come in.
Why do they start so early?
You, mister.
Separate the recyclables.
- What? - Yi Joo.
If you brush your hair,
collect the hairs and put them in the trash.
Who's to clean them up if you leave them flying about?
What's your problem?
What a really scary lady.
Joo Yeon. If you get a parcel,
what do you do after taking off the label?
Don't you know the basics?
It's me, Yong Su Jeong.
No way.
What are you doing here?
Did you rejoin the company as a cleaner?
I don't mind what you think,
but I want to finish up before Ms. Choi comes.
Can you please cooperate?
That weirdo.
Why did she laugh all night?
Is she that stressed out with work?
She's my daughter and even I'm scared of her.
So scared of her.
Hello?
Masung Group's secretary's office? Who's that?
Masung Group CEO Min Kyung Hwa?
(CEO Min Kyung Hwa)
Okay. Thanks, Secretary Lee.
You asked to see me, Ms. Min?
Ms. Choi. Do you have plans this afternoon?
Other than work, I don't have anything else.
Good. I'd like to take you somewhere.
- I'd love that. - Okay.
Let's wait over some tea.
I'm expecting a guest.
- A guest? - Actually,
your mother will come by.
I was wondering...
how to show my gratitude for the great painting,
and I just happened to be invited to a lovely exhibition.
My mother?
If she were able to obtain that painting before it became so expensive,
she must have a great understanding of art.
I'd like to learn from her.
I thought you'd feel uncomfortable if I asked you,
so I contacted your mother myself.
I hope you don't mind.
Take a seat. Sit down and wait.
Can we have some tea?
You can go straight to the CEO's office.
Ms. Choi Hye Ra will be there too.
Let's see what Masung Group's CEO's office...
looks like inside.
She should be here by now.
Ms. Min. May I use the restroom?
Go ahead.
I was right.
How many secrets must she have if she's so antsy?
(CEO's Office)
She can't show up like this.
The doors are closing.
Is the CEO's office on the seventh floor?
Yes, it is.
Why won't she pick up?
Hey, Na Ra.
Where are you?
Me? I'm at your company.
Your CEO wanted to talk to us both.
- "Na Ra?" - Na Ra. Choi Na Ra!
Stay where you are and don't move, Mom.
Don't go anywhere.
Hello?
What's wrong with her?
It's definitely someone I know.
That voice. I've heard it before.
(We thank Kim Nan Hee for the special appearance.)
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
Who's to say what happened to Lee Doo Hyuk won't happen to Yong Su Jeong?
What do you have against my daughter that you keep harassing her?
What do you have to talk about in private?
Jang Myung Chul is a manager here?
Is he the reason my Hye Ra...
That means there is a story she wants to hide.
Is there really something else between her and Yong Su Jeong?
Mom. Why are you here like this?
Joo Woo Jin!
Get up.
