The person you have called is not available now...
Lady, what are you doing?
I'm seeing if the cat is eating its meal.
Why are you watching all the way over here?
Because I'm scared. I'm scared of cats.
Then why feed them?
The skinny little thing keeps following me around.
I feel responsible for making it burn extra fat.
Why do you keep following me?
So that you'd feel responsibility.
I want chocolate ice cream.
Hi.
You've been a hard man to reach.
Me?
I was robbed.
No, I'll tell you later. Got it.
It's all over your lips.
There you go.
What would you like to drink?
Americano.
Then let us begin.
We'll bring one that's one size bigger.
That's your usual size, but it looks like...
Are you saying I got fatter?
That brand has smaller sizes...
than other brands...
And if you brought this knowing that,
are you telling me to lose some weight?
Ma'am, it's not like that.
I don't wear a small. Bring me an extra-small that fits me.
Hey, enough is enough.
Why? Our reality is harsher.
We need to practice as if it was real.
You're going to make me collapse from high blood pressure.
Ms. Kim Ji Na is sensitive about her size,
so leave out the clothes that are too small.
I can't really see the texture...
because it's too bright in here.
Lower the brightness...
and the music too.
What are we doing on our day off?
Who came up with the idea to do a personal trunk show?
This practice is already killing me.
I know you will do much better during the show. Stop whining.
You need to stop doing things like these.
Do something that requires less effort.
Wait, no.
Just don't do anything, please.
I heard Hyun A returned.
- Yes. - Are things going all right?
What's not to be all right?
Well, right. It's not your fault for getting promoted first.
I thought her pride wouldn't let her return, but she came back.
I guess that artist is having an exhibition.
I heard that artist is a rising star.
Are you rich?
If you are, buy some pieces.
That artist is apparently in critical condition.
You're very cruel.
It's a human life we're talking about.
Capitalism is a cruel thing.
Are you dating anyone?
Even if you are, take my number.
You might need it someday.
This isn't such a great place to ask for my number.
You can never know when you'll meet your destiny.
You're very bold,
but I'm not interested in low-risk gambling.
Goodness.
Yes, this is Lee Hyun A.
You fool.
I'm sorry.
Next topic.
Let's decide on our next one-day teacher.
Who hasn't done it yet?
Oh, me?
I don't think I can make any time this month.
Well, you're a working mom.
Then Jin Young's mom, can you do it?
I'll do that.
And we should also talk about the helpers...
who will help the kids get off school.
- So we should... - How should we do it?
What is it?
They got in a fight, then they won't stop crying.
Get Young Jun on the phone.
Okay.
Hey, Young Jun. It's Mom.
Take Mommy's call.
Mommy.
Young Jun, hush.
If you keep crying, I'll tell Daddy to make tteokbokki for you.
Say that to Seo Jun too.
If we keep crying...
Daddy will make tteokbokki for us.
Okay, give it to me.
What did you say that they got quiet right away?
Can't you manage this?
When will you come home?
I'm starting to get scared of them.
Why is the parents' meeting running so late?
I'm about to leave.
Okay.
Now that you two have stopped crying,
I'll make tteokbokki for you!
Why?
I'm sorry, sir. I thought it was my husband.
What?
Yes?
What?
(VIP: A whole new world)
(VIP Management Team)
What's the situation?
Ms. Hwang In Ok wants these shoes by 6:00pm,
NDRS Number Four model.
She wants these shoes.
Ms. Hwang In Ok?
Wait, that Hwang In Ok? She's...
It's scheduled to arrive in Korea tomorrow,
so there are none in the land.
We're searching overseas for anything in stock.
Ms. Lee and Ms. Song, check if there's anything in stock abroad.
Ms. Na, prepare a list of similar pairs,
- in case we can't secure any. - Yes, sir.
Ms. Na should be the one to keep her updated.
Shouldn't I do it since I got her call?
I'll be the one to contact her, then Ms. Na will be the one to follow-up.
Someone with a higher position will give them the impression...
that we're being thoughtful of her.
Yes, sir.
Sang Woo, call the Tax Team and check for any necessary paperwork.
But today isn't a business day. How am I supposed to...
I'll help him, sir.
This is the chairman's VIP client.
Let's not make any mistakes.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Sang Woo.
We often have to reach other teams out of business hours,
so we have emergency contacts for each department.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Na...
Are we talking about the Hwang In Ok,
the wife of the president of Sungjin Steel?
Then is this going to be...
Those rich people really are different.
What our client Hwang In Ok wants...
is to get the item she wants at the time she wants.
And it is our job to meet the needs of the VIPs.
Yes, ma'am.
Unbelievable...
(Sung Un Department Store)
(Director's Room)
Then let's try sending these options to Ms. Hwang.
- Could you please do so yourself? - Yes, sir.
Have we got any answers from overseas countries?
I'm still looking into it, sir.
And the Tax Team?
Oh, that...
They asked me what documents I needed,
but no one told me yet.
How can you just sit there and wait for someone to teach you?
If you don't know what it is, then you should ask and take action.
- I'm sorry, sir. - I'll check.
You're not his nanny, are you?
Are you always going to be looking after him?
You have your own work to do right now.
You need to let him do his own work.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'll explain it to him so he can work on his own.
We're trying hard to keep the media from spreading the news.
We submitted the written diagnosis of your cardiac disorder...
and the doctor's note for the bail...
I am Deputy Director Na Jung Sun of Sung Un Department Store.
Judicial officers are watching out for controversy on special favors,
it may not be easy to bail you out today...
since the police have found the drugs on-site...
- and there were many witnesses. - Attorney Park.
That's why I'm paying your law firm so much money.
Why would I pay that much if you're going to say that?
Don't you think so?
If I'm still here by 6pm,
go look for another job, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Attorney Park.
What are you doing?
These are samples of shoes similar to the ones you requested, ma'am.
I wasn't allowed to bring anything in here,
so I asked your attorneys to help me.
The NDRS Number Four model...
is not yet in the country, so we are looking overseas,
but in case it does not arrive in time,
- we have prepared similar... - "Similar"?
What's so similar?
How did you get this far with that poor taste?
Then I will look for something else...
If I had needed something else, I would've asked for it.
Yes, ma'am.
I will try my best to get the NDRS Number Four model in time.
I don't care if you try your best.
All you need to do is get me what I want.
If you had understood me in the first place,
you wouldn't have annoyed me like this.
Yes, ma'am. I will get them ready for you...
so you can wear them when you leave here, ma'am.
Thank you.
It sucks to make a living, doesn't it?
- Let me know when you get them. - Yes, ma'am.
The Japanese branch had a pair,
so we had our staff fly in with the shoes.
The shoes are expected to arrive at 3:30pm,
so I think we will be on time if we go straight from the airport.
It might be tight if we take immigration into account.
Please make sure there aren't any problems with the delivery.
Yes, sir.
Check the list first.
I'm exhausted.
Let's go fuel up.
Much better.
What are we doing on our day off?
I think we're jinxed. Maybe it's our unlucky year.
How was the prison?
What's so great about those shoes?
She was caught on-site for causing a scene when she was high.
The whole country saw her getting arrested in slippers barefoot.
No wonder she cares so much about the shoes she's going to wear.
I wonder why someone like her did drugs.
You can never judge by appearances alone.
What is it? It's not about a delivery mistake, is it?
It's from home. It's about my children.
You and your husband both work.
Why are you the only one doing the chores and childcare?
I would've refused it.
It's almost over, so you should go ahead.
We'll take care of the rest.
No, we have to do it together.
Let me just take this call.
She should've left when we told her to.
You know what you are?
An old-fashioned fart who can never be pleased.
Hey.
That will never explain who I am.
You look much more relaxed these days.
Right.
I should relax.
Sorry. Excuse me as well.
Is that boyfriend number three?
Hey, who do you think I am?
Number five.
Sure.
Make it short.
That won't work.
"CITES"?
Yes. There's an issue...
regarding the trade of the leather used for these shoes,
so there's a limit when bringing them in the country.
If you want to bring them in, you need authorization documents.
Can't we turn in the documents later on?
We have our procedures.
I'm sorry, sir. I should have checked beforehand.
Yes.
What?
(Sung Un Department Store)
The documents are ready,
but we need to take this to the airport.
Did you call the delivery company?
They're busy, so it will take at least 20 minutes.
There's so much traffic because of the rain.
We won't be able to get there in time by car.
We need to give them these documents by at least 5pm.
Song Mi Na of the VIP Management Team speaking.
Yes.
What? How could...
Understood.
Thank you for letting me know.
I'm hanging up now.
That was the Japanese branch.
Myungil Department Store also received one today.
The Japanese branch called everywhere to obtain the product...
and Myungil must've picked up on it.
If we can't provide the product,
Myungil will deliver what is has to Ms. Hwang.
Are you kidding me?
We can't let Myungil beat us.
I'll go to the airport.
I was wondering who rode this to work.
Wish me luck.
Drive safely.
(International Airport)
Ms. Na?
Shouldn't you be running?
- Sorry? - Run.
Made it.
Yes, Attorney Park. We'll go to where you are.
What?
Myocardial infarction.
Life sure is a bundle of random events.
Just a few hours ago, it seemed like she ruled the world.
What about the shoes then?
What do you think?
It's not like she can wear them to where she's going.
Good job.
Good job, everyone.
The boss left, so you can do.
You all...
did a good job today.
- Good job, guys. - Good job.
Shall we?
How was your morning meeting?
Good. Thanks for asking.
What would you do today if you were to die tomorrow?
You know...
Seeing what happened to Ms. Hwang today...
I'm not sure.
I thought about it...
and there isn't anything special I'd rather do.
Just living the life I have now seems fine.
Get some work done in the office, decide what to have for lunch,
go home and speak ill of my boss to my husband.
That being my last day on earth...
seems all right.
That realization made me happy.
I'm happy to know...
that a usual day for me could suffice as my last day.
It's nice.
Are you aware that you're always frowning these days?
Like this.
Oh...
Well, things were busy,
and Sang Woo needs to pull his weight now.
This is why it's suffocating to have a Superman for a boss.
Not everyone is as bright and fast as you.
Maybe I've been on edge these days.
I understand you have bosses eyeing your every move,
but take it easy from time to time.
Instead of running at full speed,
let's enjoy a gentle jog together,
husband.
(I miss you.)
Great job yesterday, everyone.
We're expecting a new transfer today.
She's coming.
This is Ms. On Yu Ri.
She will work for the VIP Management Team starting today.
Greet everyone.
Hello, I'm On Yu Ri.
Hello.
What brings you all the way here?
You wouldn't show your precious face to me...
even after a month has passed by since you returned.
So I came by to see that precious face.
Here, the schedule for personal trunk shows.
Thanks.
Who's that?
She was transferred today.
Are the rumors true?
What rumors?
She's the girl who used...
to give out samples at the basement food floor, right?
- Yes. - Isn't it weird...
for a contract worker who used to work...
at the basement food floor to suddenly be transferred here?
It doesn't seem like...
a usual personnel appointment.
That's why I think if the rumors about her are true.
What are the rumors?
Sang Woo.
The draft is ready. Go get it from the Design Team.
Yes.
Later.
Enough.
Newbies are very quick to these things nowadays.
He'll hear it soon anyway.
You don't have to spread rumors that haven't been confirmed as true.
The circumstantial evidence tells us that the rumors aren't just rumors.
Ms. Kang, you're here.
Yes, I had to give something to Ms. Na.
Ms. On, you can use this desk.
Yes.
Basically, our job is...
to manage our VIP customers.
Go into this page and type in your employee number and password.
Then you'll see your email.
I've never worked in an office before,
so I'm not sure what my password is.
Then I'll ask the Human Resources for the initial password.
Yes, thank you.
Now, look.
Long time no see. Hello.
Again?
You're here.
Yes.
Didn't you miss me?
Of course, I missed you.
Really?
This is why I like you.
You can never flatter me.
Who is this?
You're a new girl.
- Hello. - Hi.
It looks like...
she has a unique style.
Is this the trend nowadays?
You're here.
Yes.
Let's go inside.
I'm willing to sell top-notch information...
with a cup of coffee. Are you interested?
She's here again.
Does she think this is her home?
Does she always show up abruptly?
You have no idea.
The tragedy began...
a month ago.
- Hello. - Ma'am.
You're wearing the dress you bought last time.
I knew it was perfect for you.
Right?
But my husband said...
he couldn't believe I got such shabby dress for 10,000 dollars.
I'm embarrassed of him.
That's how men are. They don't know a thing about fashion.
Tell me about it.
Anyway, do you have any new cute clothes?
What do you think? I think it'll be perfect for you.
Looks great. Let me try this on.
Jin Mi, is that pushover nouveau riche not here yet?
She looked like a lizard in that polka dot dress...
Why?
Ma'am.
Am I that...
pushover nouveau riche?
I am Deputy Director Na Jung Sun of the VIP Management Team.
Our employees have done...
something that they should have never done.
I apologize.
That's too hot.
I'm sorry. I should have cooled it down.
Fire them.
Get rid of them.
Didn't you hear me?
If you don't get rid of them,
I'll tell the press about how you people think...
that customers are a joke. Just you wait.
The employees in question will be disciplined.
And we will compensate you as much as we can...
to make you feel better.
Get rid of them. That's all I want.
I don't need anything else.
What is this? Why are you kneeling down?
I know very well...
that the humiliation you felt will not disappear...
only because I kneel down before you.
But I couldn't think of anything else...
to show you how I truly feel.
I truly apologize once again...
for making a mistake that should never happen.
But their employment is...
directly related to their livelihood.
So in that aspect...
I get it. I understand, so stand up.
People are watching.
You have an uncanny talent.
Why do you turn me into the bad wench?
I'm sorry if I offended you.
Then you do it.
- Pardon? - Be my shopper.
You do it.
This is pretty.
- Right? - It's the same style.
What about the size?
- I can't choose. - I'll hold them.
- I'll take them all. - Yes, ma'am.
You should try it on.
I'm sure it'll look good.
I'll try something else.
I like this.
What do you think?
No?
- What do you think? - I like this one.
All right.
And the breeze blows
Great job today.
I had fun.
See you again. Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Great work.
She has been coming into our office ever since that day.
She refuses to shop with anyone else.
At first, Ms. Na was in charge of her,
but every single one on our team ended up shopping with her.
I was stuck with her for five hours last time.
Are you going to send me again?
Don't worry.
Ma'am, I'll go with...
I want the new girl to help me out.
Yu Ri joined our team today.
She doesn't know her duties yet.
Sounds great. I'll help her get used to it.
I'm an expert of the VIP Management Team, aren't I?
Is that all right?
Yes, I will assist you.
All right.
In that case, Yu Ri, please do a great job.
What is it?
I'll have a sip first.
Your team might end up going back into the Marketing Team.
Really?
Then what about our evaluation for promotion?
Mr. Bae will probably do that.
So while we're on this topic,
why don't you transfer to the Marketing Team?
The Marketing Team?
And one of the people on that team can get promoted too.
I mean, the situation would have become...
much better for your team...
if there weren't any trouble between Mr. Bae and Ms. Lee.
And you'll have a better chance in the Marketing Team
I don't think they'll promote two people on your team.
Right.
Let me give you advice as someone who joined the company with you.
You haven't been promoted for six years.
It won't be easy if you don't get a promotion for three years.
You need to get promoted this time.
I know.
But our team is short-handed these days...
How can you worry about others right now?
It's not like you're bad at your job.
You only took a maternity leave for three months...
Just give it a thought.
If you want to be transferred, I'll try to get you an interview.
All right.
Thanks.
Now,
which one do you think looks better?
You look good in both of them, ma'am.
Is that so?
You're hopeless.
Even I can tell it's too much.
How can your taste be worse than mine?
Something else.
Do you think Yu Ri will be all right?
She's just getting a proper hazing.
But it's a bit too much for her first day.
You're being nosy, you know.
But you're just all talk.
It's not like you're actually going to do something about it.
Unless you're going to take her under your wing, forget it.
She'll have to survive on her own.
You're right.
I should mind my own business.
Why aren't you drinking up? Your Americano's getting cold.
You're nervous, aren't you?
- Yes, ma'am. - Why?
Does this place intimidate you?
It's all right. I was like that too.
Have you heard, haven't you?
I'm nouveau riche.
I didn't know how to spend money.
I bought this and that, trying to imitate the rich,
and they told me I became a VIP client.
But I stood out like a fly in the ointment,
as if I didn't belong.
I bought everything expensive and nice,
but I couldn't get rid of my tackiness.
I guess you're born with it.
I bet you're wondering why I'm telling you this.
You just remind me of my own self.
And I bet you're having a hard time fitting in your team.
Did the cat get your tongue? Why won't you say anything?
Do I have to fit in?
I don't know if that's really necessary.
It will be nice if you own one of these. It will look good on you.
No, it's all right, ma'am.
Don't ignore my gift.
I told you. I'm nouveau riche.
This is nothing to me.
I liked the way you said you don't think it's necessary...
to fit in.
But people...
are bound to judge by appearances.
Drink up.
(I hear On Yu Ri has connections with the vice president.)
Oh my gosh!
Ms. Lee. Are these rumors true?
Get in.
Does On Yu Ri really have a thing...
with the vice president?
Focus on your work.
Will you?
Yes, ma'am.
(Sung Un Department Store)
See you tomorrow.
Good work...
People would think we suck the life out of them.
Good job.
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
Will you be late?
I'll try not to be too late.
If my boss works so hard,
I have no choice but to feel guilty.
Don't be too late and have dinner at home.
All right.
I'll take this.
(Are you still in the office, Ms. Park?)
(Can I go there now?)
Hold on, sir!
(Sung Un Department Store)
I'm sorry, but could we go back to the department store?
Yes, ma'am.
(14 days until period)
Hope this will work.
You're home!
I pulled out all the stops today...
Mother?
My gosh, what brings you by?
(My other half)
Your mom's here.
I was in the neighborhood, so I stopped by to give you these.
I thought you'd be out, so I let myself in.
I see.
Someone I know...
drank this herbal medicine...
and got pregnant.
I see.
It's good for you,
so drink two a day starting tomorrow.
Right, of course.
- I'll get going then. - How about some fruits...
I know when it's time to make an exit.
I'll see you.
Right.
Please call when you get home.
- Sure, hurry inside. - Bye.
Today must not be the day.
My mother's here?
Today definitely isn't the day.
(Your husband is having an affair with someone on your team.)
(VIP)
Have you ever experienced...
the feeling of someone you thought you knew well...
suddenly becoming a complete stranger?
We will begin the VIP field inspection.
You pose as a client and check their service.
Over here!
How has the work been so far?
Can I see you today? I have something to say.
The lie will be proven false soon anyway.
One must want to desperately cling on...
even though they know it'll be over soon.
You should straighten your tie.
I'll make sure that my love for you never dies.
Do you even still feel that way?
