[Episode 9]

Yes, Boss?

OQ Technics is going up now.

You take care of the rest of the shares.

Why? It still has some life in it, though.

I think it'll be fun to watch it fall for about two more days.

Our work is done here, so let's end it now.

Let's not be greedy.

It's the most basic of the fundamentals to sell when prices are highest, punk.

Geez, you're so rough around the edges.

Got it, sir.

After you're done with that, go out for a bit.

I think I have my next objective, so keep your head down

until I'm done strategizing and contact you again.

Don't go around causing any trouble, all right?

Excuse me! This patient needs immediate attention!

- Over here! - Bring her over here.

- Is this okay? - Yes, here.

Since when has she been unconscious?

Um, I'm not sure. I'm not exactly in the right state of mind right now.

You pressed our doorbell 20 minutes ago

so I think it's safe to assume that it was about 5 or 10 minutes before that.

Did the patient have other health issues? Like diabetes or high blood pressure?

No, she didn't.

Um, she did get a full-body physical at this hospital not too long ago.

And what is the patient's name?

It's Jeon Bok Ja.

Okay. Check her pulse first, and contact the CT technicians.

Also, look into the patient's medical history.

Yes, sir.

My mom got a full-body physical?

Yes, ma'am.

- Say "ah." - Oh, okay.

CEO Lee really is an angel investor.

You do know what that is, don't you?

Oh, of course I do. Yes.

He's taking on a huge risk by investing in you in a situation where he can't

even be guaranteed that he'll be getting his money's worth by investing in you.

Do you think that's an easy thing for someone to do?

What I'm saying is that CEO Lee over here is quite a philanthropic person.

You needn't go so far, Director Kim.

I'm a businessman as well.

I don't do anything to inflict casualties on myself on purpose.

I've always been interested in cosmetics companies.

Oh, I see.

I was looking into several companies after I returned to Korea

- when I discovered Lovely. - Oh, I see!

President Jo, consider yourself damn lucky.

Oh, yes, of course.

Um, excuse me, but... if you were to invest, what method will you use?

You sure are in a hurry, President Jo.

It's no fun if all you talk about is work from the get-go!

Today, let's just drink to celebrate our newly established relationship.

And let's drink to us hoping that all will go well for us.

Pleased to meet you, President Jo.

Oh, no! I'm the one pleased to meet you, CEO Lee!

- All right! Cheers! - Cheers!

She was in the middle of getting a biopsy here because of her colon tumor.

- Colon tumor? - What's going on?

I thought you said that she was here for a checkup!

That's what I was told.

Then, what do we do now?

We'll go into surgery as soon as we can.

I think her body may have gone into shock due to the inflammation.

I'm sure that she was in a lot of pain and had severely bloody stools.

Were you not aware of this, Ms. Guardian?

First, please sign off on the guardian consent form.

[Guardian Consent Form]

So, they're saying that my mom has cancer right now, right?

It just means that she got a biopsy. The results haven't come out yet.

That's what the doctor said before.

Um, don't worry too much, Chief. I'm sure that she'll be fine.

[Operating Room]

Um, where are you going?

I'm going to take care of the procedure for her to get hospitalized, and then...

I'll think about what to do after that.

Just stay here, next to your mother's side.

I'll take care of her hospitalization procedure.

And I'll look into what you need to do after that, too.

Please, sit down for a bit. You don't look well.

- Yes, President? - Yeah, Jung Gi!

Hey, you! Guess where I am right now!

Oh, it seems like you've had quite a bit to drink, sir.

I feel so great today, so I had a bit to drink!

Hey! You know where this is? It's heaven, man! You come over, too!

I'm not really in the situation to go right now.

It's not that I don't want to go. I really--

- Go ahead. - Excuse me?

It seems like the President is looking for you.

It'll be fine with just me here.

I apologize.

Wow, it's not like it's entirely my fault.

Geez, where is he?

Oh no. President! President?

President Jo! President! Wake up, sir!

Jung Gi! My lovely Jung Gi!

- Geez. - All our struggles are over!

Happy fun times, man!

Sheesh, why are you acting like this?

Who gave you so much alcohol?

Um, an angel. An angel came down from the heavens.

Oh, geez. President! President! President!

Please, wake up. Okay? President! President Jo!

Come on, wake up! Geez! Why did you drink so much?

- Good morning! - Hello!

- You're late. - Good morning.

- Did you drink yesterday? - As if.

I was running around all night and couldn't get any sleep.

Oh yeah. Chief Ok won't be in today. Something happened at home.

What are you talking about? She's been here for a while now.

What? Huh?

Is Deputy Chief Nam still not here yet?

No, I'm here now, ma'am.

Let's brief the President on the eyeshadow in five minutes.

But, um, the President will be a bit late today, I think.

- What do you mean? - He drank a lot last night.

Good morning! Good morning!

- Hello, sir! - Hello, sir!

It really is a great morning, everyone! Chief Ok! Good morning! Good morning!

All right. Let's give it our best today, too!

Chief Ok, you can come

and give me a briefing about the eyeshadow in five minutes

so come on up, all right? What a happy, perfect morning!

Wow, you look great!

- Get ready, Deputy Chief Nam. - Yes, Chief.

What's up with the President? Is he on drugs, or something?

What exactly is going on?

Firstly, we're doing 10 colors and will be starting production on the lipsticks.

The completed products will be undergoing testing--

As long as we do a back-door listing of your company on the stock market

it'll be quite easy for you to make at least 1 billion won.

1 billion won.

- 1 billion won? - President?

Yeah? Oh. What did you just say?

What are you fantasizing about in the middle of my report?

- Oh, just money. - Money?

I mean funds. I'm thinking about where we'll get the funds to fund our project.

10 colors of lipsticks? No, make 100 if you want to!

I'll be sure to get us tons of funding!

I bet Jo Dong Gyu is having fun fantasizing right now.

With your skill, a company at Lovely's level will be a cakewalk.

Isn't that right?

If all goes well, there will be some good heading your way too, Director Kim.

No need. You've helped me out so many times in the past.

About OQ Technics from last time...

I was about to say that all the pleasure I get lately is from monitoring that.

Its value doubled in a week!

Sell all your shares before 2 p.m. tomorrow.

- All of them? - Yes.

Well, if you tell me to, I should.

And here, I thought I might be able to see it rise to three times its value.

- You awake? - What brings you here?

What do you think? I came after getting the call from Da Jung.

She asked me to watch after you because she had to go to work.

What incredible work is she doing? She can't even miss a day or two of work?

And in the meanwhile, her mother is teetering on the edge of death.

- She's usually really busy. - Geez, you.

You sure must be going through a lot because of a rotten daughter like her.

Shush already. You're being annoying.

- What, Mother? What? - I'm going to Gwangju right now.

Get off work early and pick up Ji Ho.

Why all of a sudden? Did something happen?

Young Soo is getting divorced, and it's a real mess over at their place.

- I have to go see them. - Still, this is so sudden.

- Can't you go on the weekend? - Who knows what'll happen by then?

At any rate, I'm going today, so just be aware of that.

What does she expect me to do if she just springs this on me like this?

What? What happened?

My mother-in-law's up to her usual ways again.

She said she's going to her sister's place all of a sudden. Damn it!

Why not tell the Chief and clock out early today?

Do you think she'll be okay with that, when she herself left her sick mother?

Geez. Even so, just try talking to her.

Damn it, why isn't he picking up his damn phone?

Honey, clock out early today and pick up Ji Ho.

Deputy Han. I just got a call from the factory

saying that there's an issue with the boxes for packaging.

- What happened? - What?

Oh my gosh, I'm going to go insane.

You didn't do a preliminary check?

Um, no. I'm sorry, ma'am. It was because we suddenly had an influx in orders.

- I'll go to the factory. - No, Deputy Chief Nam.

It's my responsibility, so I need to go.

- What about Ji Ho? - I texted my husband, so it'll be okay.

Is something the matter?

No, ma'am. It's nothing. I'll get going.

Geez. It'd be fine if I went.

- What is this? - I'm sorry, Deputy Han.

Our engineer is looking at the printer right now, so just wait a little bit.

It's a relief that we discovered this now!

Imagine what would've happened if it was delivered to customers in this!

You almost caused a ton of trouble for us!

I said I was sorry. I'll fix it and print it ASAP, so don't worry!

Make sure you send it off to the factory as soon as they're printed!

I really won't stand for it if shipping is pushed back even one day!

Geez, you're so scary. Hey, Deputy Hyun! Get some drinks from the office.

Yes, Honey. Did you pick up Ji Ho?

- What are you talking about? - You didn't see my text?

- Your mother went to Gwangju! - I have a staff dinner today.

I have to work overtime today!

It's a celebratory dinner for a new Director that we just got.

- I really have to be there! - What about Ji Ho, then?

No! Come on. Just miss it this once. Please?

You know as well as I do what kind of situation I'm in right now!

I need to get promoted! Whatever, I'm busy. Bye.

Do you think I work

so that I can be understanding about you going to some damn staff dinner?

Pick up. Pick up! Why aren't you picking up?

Yeah. Don't worry and go. I'll take care of things over there.

So hurry over to Ji Ho, okay? I'll bet he's been waiting.

Okay.

- Was that Deputy Han? - Something came up.

I'll be back.

Hey, how dare you not greet your superior!

Damn her. Hey, you. Where have you two been?

We had a meeting with one of our ingredient sourcing companies.

What a nice life you have, even riding a taxi.

We had some products to get, so it'd make things complicated to take the train.

Oh, because you can just write it off as "work-related" and waste company funds?

So you're just riding cabs whenever you want, as you please?

So you don't think of the company's money as your own, huh?

- It's because these are fragile. - How dare you talk back to me!

I'm going to be watching you very closely. All right?

Do things right, Deputy Park! Got it? I'm going to be watching you.

Got it, Deputy Park? Damn you. Geez.

Deputy Park. Hey--

What the hell is that bastard Manager Shin doing?

- Why are you still here? - What?

- Um, just now, Deputy Park-- - Let's talk about him later.

Let's go and figure out the box packaging first.

Damn it... wait, you're coming too, Chief?

Oh no, she's at it again. I can go by myself!

- Miss! - Oh, sir!

Wow, you didn't need to come visit me. Thank you so much!

So, how do you feel?

I'm fine now. It wasn't a big surgery. They just took a tiny thing out.

- Oh, here! Take a seat! - Okay.

But, um, where's the Chief? Why are you all alone?

Um, my daughter is busy, so she went to work.

Even if she's really busy, her mother is sick!

You can't just be left alone.

No, I'm not alone. There's someone here looking after me.

Oh, that's a relief, then.

Mother, I've brought some warm water for you.

- Oh, okay. - Um, who's this?

Husband Ji. Say hello. This is Deputy Chief Nam's father.

Oh, I see. Hello.

- "Husband Ji?" - He used to be my son-in-law.

Oh, yes! I see!

I'll take care of things here, so please go to the hospital now.

I'm going to leave after I see that everything has been taken care of.

But even so, your mother was passed out and even got surgery.

If this doesn't get fixed by today, there will be delays in shipping

and that'll make people complain about the speed of our shipping.

Is there anything more dire to us than this, right now?

You can't compare apples to oranges. She's your mother! And she's sick.

That's my personal affair.

Don't compare me to people who run home during work due to personal affairs!

Deputy Han had to go because her child-- her mother-in-law ran off down south

and there was nobody to watch her child, so that's why she left!

Mom! Mom! When are you coming home?

I'm busy enough as it is. Why are you calling me and crying?

- I'm sick. - Stop faking it.

Don't you know that becomes a bad habit?

I'm busy, so don't call me anymore.

Mom!

- Who is it? - It's Ji Ho's mom, ma'am!

- I'm so sorry! - Mom!

Oh yes, Ji Ho. I'm late, right? I'm sorry.

- You're quite late, ma'am. - I'm so sorry, Teacher.

I tried my best to get here on time, but there was so much traffic.

It'll make things difficult for us if you're late again. So don't be.

Yes. I'm sorry, Teacher! I'm sorry!

Let's go.

All right. You were bored all alone after your friends left, right?

- You didn't cry? - Nope, I didn't!

- I've brought the clothes back. - Yes.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- Welcome! - You must be hungry, Deputy Park.

Yes.

Oh, please make up your mind, Deputy Park.

I'll take care of everything else.

As I mentioned, I have no intention of leaving.

Yes, yes. I understand that you must feel conflicted.

And I'm not asking you to make a decision right away, either.

You have to deliberate on it longer so that you can raise your worth.

Raise my worth?

You have to bring something to the table to raise your worth to us.

- Are you saying-- - The new product you're planning.

If you give us the information on the new product that Lovely is making

we'll definitely raise your salary, and even give you a promotion.

We're here, Chief.

We've arrived at the hospital, Chief.

Thank you.

No need to follow me in. I can go by myself.

They say you can be discharged tomorrow afternoon.

You didn't even know that I may have cancer, and yet you're just peachy?

Why didn't you have dinner? Want me to buy you porridge?

Is porridge so important right now when I may have cancer?

I'll go buy it, so microwave it and eat it later if you want to.

- I may have cancer! - Is cancer that important?

You were so apathetic when you heard that Dad had cancer.

Didn't you prioritize money and make him feel worse?

Of course money is more important! Treatments and surgeries cost money!

- A person is useless in that regard! - What a great way to put it.

People are useless, right? So why do you need me here?

If you have cancer, I'll do anything I can do with money, so don't you worry.

You're hoping that I have cancer, aren't you?

All you have to do is throw money at me, and you won't need to see me anymore.

- Right? - Yes.

That'd be really great.

You terrible bitch. Hurry up and leave.

Of course I'm leaving. You think I'd sleep here?

If you're going to go, hurry it up!

Just seeing you makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Don't you worry. I'll disappear.

Why, you -- geez. Why did I have to have such a daughter?

Um, I bought some porridge. I felt bad just leaving her, so...

Chief! Chief!

Chief! Chief! Don't be like that, and go back.

- Mind your own. - I know that it's none of my business-

Then don't get involved.

After hearing you talk, I feel like you have a lot of qualms with your mother.

Didn't you just hear me tell you to not get involved?

What was in the past is in the past, but your mother's health

should be prioritized right now!

What are you going to do if things turn out very badly?

The results aren't out yet. Don't say things carelessly.

So you do want the test results to be good, after all. Right?

You're actually quite worried for your mother, right?

So why did you say hurtful things that you didn't mean to her?

You know that it'll be futile to regret it later on, right?

Spend some time with your mother for the first time in a while.

I'll be going, then.

Just why do you act this way toward me, Deputy Chief Nam?

- What do you mean? - I told you to mind your own.

I told you not to get involved! So why do you keep sticking around?

You're a nuisance.

Why do you keep on trying to shove your way into my life?

- Chief. - What?

Do I seem like a pushover because I'm a woman

who's had multiple failed marriages and is a workaholic?

Did you think that you pitying me and saying ridiculous, sentimental things

would make me feel touched?

- Chief. I don't understand-- - I don't know

what you're trying to do, or what your intentions may be

but stop messing around with me.

Our relationship is strictly a business one!

Don't cross the line any more than you already have.

Wifey. I'm going to be real late today. Don't wait up for me.

Damn bastard.

Geez, you punk. What's with that scowl first thing in the morning?

Freaking asshole.

I'm not scowling, sir.

Why, I ought to... fine, fine. Let's just say that's the case.

Fine. You're not scowling. Anyway, go buy me a sandwich. I haven't had breakfast.

- What? - Why, don't want to?

This isn't right, sir.

Wow, do you really have no damn common sense?

I'm going to be back to my old position soon.

And I'm meticulously writing up things for your damn performance review.

- Got that? - Stop it, already.

Stop what, bastard? Stop what--

I asked you to stop.

Oh ho. Look at you. Let go, asshole.

Do you have a death wish? Let go! You're not letting go?

Fine. I'll go buy your sandwich.

Deputy Park. Buy a tuna sandwich. You traitorous bastard.

If you give us the information on the new product that Lovely is making

we'll definitely raise your salary, and even give you a promotion.

I managed to come to work comfortably because there was a seat on the train.

I'll call you when I head out for lunch later.

You have a good day too, Bong Gi.

Okay.

Deputy Park! Is something on your mind, as of late?

No, of course not. It's nothing.

What is it? Is Manager Shin giving you a bit of a hard time?

Want me to talk to the President about it for you?

No, it's fine. Don't do that.

His harassment will end soon enough. You know how that guy is.

But if there's anything that's really bothering you, make sure to let me know.

Okay?

Yes, I understand.

How are things with Ms. Mi Ri lately?

- Is there any progress? - No, nothing like that.

Ms. Mi Ri. Deputy Han still isn't here?

Yes, it seems that way.

Hello, Teacher! I'm so sorry for being late again!

Have fun with the teacher, Ji Ho, okay?

- I'll be back. - Bye, Mom!

- Okay. - Come over here.

Thank you, Teacher. Bye bye!

Number 11 has a good photochromic effect but the brightness isn't great.

Number 13 has too much moisture, so it has no staying power.

Number 8 is okay, but it doesn't quite stay.

Number 9 is okay, but it's too matte so it shows all the flaws on your lips.

Won't we need to decide on a concept first to help us develop products better?

Deputy Park is right. It'll be too late if we keep pushing this off.

Let's choose a concept by today to give us a sense of direction for the products.

Yes, yes, hurry it up. And don't worry about funding.

Wow, what a change of pace! You're not concerned about money?

There's something that I've been preparing.

Anyway, no need to worry about money.

Let's just make sure that our product is a hit!

Got that? Make 10 or 100 pigments! As many as you want!

- Hello. - Did you just get to work?

Yes. I had to bring my child to kindergarten, so I was a bit late.

This is why middle-aged women won't do.

- Geez. - Look here, Manager Shin.

It's not like I'm late because of my kid every day.

It couldn't be helped today because my mother-in-law isn't home--

It doesn't matter how many times it's happened. Lateness is lateness.

Middle-aged guys don't do this

so why do middle-aged women always use their children as an excuse?

Also, this is a cosmetics company. What's up with your getup?

Do something about your hair, and... wow, look at that.

Why not take the rice off your clothes before you continue talking?

Geez, seriously.

Oh, Deputy Han!

Oh yes, hello. I'm sorry for being late.

Do you know what time it is?

This is quite an important time for us, so how could you be late?

- Geez. Mothers. - I'm sorry, President!

When's your mother-in-law coming back?

I don't know. I'll have to give her a call.

Wow, this is terrible.

Just who and what are we all working for, right now?

We've become mothers who can't be with her child when her child needs her...

and daughters who can't be by her ill mother's side.

[Mom]

Go inside and work, bastard.

And we've let ourselves become wimps who can't even protect themselves.

Just what, exactly, are we enduring all this for?

So what do you want me to do, huh?

Care a little more about your employees!

Deputy Han is suffering enough as it is because nobody can watch her child

and Chief Ok has left her sick mother in the hospital all alone

and Deputy Park is going insane from enduring all of Manager Shin's crap!

Well, it's not like you go out of your way to care for me, either.

Do you know what I have to go through lately?

I know that you've been going to the private lounge every night.

Hey! Do you think I'm going for my own pleasure? This is all for the company--

If it's really for the company's sake, look after your own employees first!

People need to take care of their own kids and parents.

What am I supposed to do? Watch her kid? Take care of her mom?

- President-- - Same thing with Deputy Park.

Do you know what a hard time my wife is giving me

because of what happened with Manager Shin?

Above all else, he's her only younger brother!

I ignored all that, though, and took your side!

If I did that much, shouldn't you all watch your own backs?

Don't be like that, and do something for the sake of the employees--

I'm telling you, I don't have the luxury to be doing things like that!

Get it through your head, already! Look, look! I'm running late now!

I'm going to be late to an important meeting because of you!

- Bye now. - President!

President! President!

Do you work out?

Well, I'm quite busy, so... and I have all this belly fat I need to get rid of!

The person on the treadmill over there is the Chairman of Sungnam.

And the one over there doing yoga with a personal trainer

- is Dahan Hospital's President Lee. - Oh!

Oh, and there's another important guy over there, too!

Wow, so many impressive people are all gathered here!

This is the inner circle of South Korea.

The real business all happens here.

Soon, you'll no longer be a guest, but a member.

Me? No... how could I, possibly?

Because I'm going to make it so.

Oh, did you bring what I mentioned last time?

Yes, of course! These are our company's financial statements.

I'll take a look at it carefully before I make my decision.

Um, you should visit our company sometime.

I'm looking forward to that, actually.

- The President is gone again? - Yes.

Then, the documents that I asked him to sign yesterday--

He hasn't signed them yet.

The things he has to sign off on are piling up as of late, Chief.

Just what is he doing lately? Do you know anything, Secretary Hwang?

No, he hasn't told me anything either.

I see.

Hey, why are you so stiff? Enjoy all of this!

You have every right to, man!

What are you doing? Lay it on him more, girls!

Honey!

All right, all right!

Wow! All right, get over here!

I want to do a love shot!

Deputy Han, how did the orders for the boxes go--

Did she go somewhere again?

There was nobody to go pick up her child, so I told her she could leave early.

As for the orders, she confirmed those before she left.

If there's anything else you need done, let me know.

Deputy Chief Nam. Are you going to continue acting this way

without differentiating work life and private life?

If a comrade of mine is having a hard time, it's no problem to help her out.

Do you have to be so cold about it?

There's no place for that in the workplace!

The workplace is for finishing up your own work!

People have to be at ease with what's going on at home

to be able to give it their all when working!

We're not machines, you know! We can't just switch to work as we want to!

It's not like this is an everyday thing. It's just for a couple of days!

Aren't you being too much?

We can't just bend over backwards for one person.

An employee who can't work because of personal affairs shouldn't be working.

Don't you think that you overstepped your boundaries a bit?

I can't do anything about it if you don't like my ways.

Don't like it? Leave.

Deputy Chief, what do we do? She's not going to fire Deputy Han, is she?

If she tries to, we can quit working at this shitty company first.

- What? - I'm just saying.

Ji Ho! Oh, hello! Come over here.

Oh, Ji Ho! What's wrong? Did you fight with your friend?

Ji Ho threw up a bit while eating lunch today.

- What? - He doesn't seem to be well.

And he seems to have a bit of a fever, too.

- Is Ji Ho sleeping? - Aren't you being too much?

Your mother isn't even here, so how could you come home so late every night?

Geez, you're so ridiculous. Do you think I don't want to come home early?

I got yelled at by my Chief and even missed a meeting!

Why do I always have to suffer?

Geez. You call taking care of your kid "suffering?"

Is that something that a mother should be saying?

What about you, then? Aren't you a father? Huh?

If we had him together, shouldn't we raise him together?

Yeah, good thing you brought that up.

It's not like you even raised him. My mom did!

Do you have to be so rude about an old woman

taking a break for a couple of days from watching your kid?

She raised him for five years, and you can't even last a couple of days?

Do you have to keep harassing my mom and me about this?

You call yourself a mom? What have you even done for him, as a mother?

Are you serious right now? Wow, you're ridiculous.

- What am I being ridiculous about, huh? - I didn't harass you!

You didn't harass me, huh?

Listen. If you're going to make a fuss just because

of the couple pennies you make, quit right now!

And if I do, what are you going to do? How are we going to repay our damn debt?

Do you think you'll be able to send Ji Ho to school on your salary alone? Huh?

- What? - Yeah, I don't make much.

That's why I'm trying so damn hard to be promoted, obviously!

You have no right to be a father. Get out.

That little--

Don't cry. It's okay. Come here.

You don't have a right to be a mother, either!

Damn it. I'm going to go crazy.

Don't cry. It's okay.

Ji Ho, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Here we go.

- Thanks for today. - Oh, it's no trouble, Big Sis.

It's not like 30,000 won is petty change, after all.

But, um, your ex-husband came to take care of her.

Well, um, my dad went to go visit her and he ran into him.

I guess your ex-husband is still treated like family.

- You don't need to know-- - Yep, no need for me to know.

But, you know... have you ever been hurt by your mother when you were young?

I mean, you're so worried and yet you're so cold toward her.

I was wondering if you have a lot of unresolved issues with her.

Was it a lack of love, or something like that?

That's enough. You can go now.

Understood. I've completed my mission, so I'll get going.

- Deputy Chief Nam. - Yes.

How long will the production of the lipsticks take?

It'll be completed within the week.

Let's start our meeting.

I'm sorry for being late, Chief.

How could you bring your child to work?

I'm so sorry, Chief. But my child was sick all night.

He even threw up on the way here. I can't send him to the kindergarten.

Do you really have nobody to watch your kid?

Well, yes. That's why I brought him, ma'am.

And how will you manage to work, like this?

And what about the other employees? This isn't a playground.

I know that this is a ruthless workplace.

But my son is fighting with all he has, too, so that I can work.

He's been enduring all this time while not being able to spend time with me

and there's a war being waged inside his tiny body.

And that child of mine is sick. Can't you let it slide for one day?

- Not even one day? - That's right.

I can't let it slide, so take him and go home right now.

Why are you putting him through so much?

Is this work we're doing that important to you?

Chief, you don't have a child, right? I'm doing it so I can feed my child.

And so that I can teach him.

You don't have any family that you're responsible for, Chief.

So the workplace must seem like a playground to you.

But not for me, honey. Every day is like a battle for me.

Let's go.

Of course money is important!

Oh, hello!

Another one? Yes, all right!

Hey, another one here!

- Mom. - Yeah?

Did you get kicked out from your job because of me?

No, I left because I wanted to.

I want to spend all day today having fun with you.

- Really? - Of course.

You held back for so long even though you wanted to play with me.

Honestly, I wanted to see you so much too

but I held back a lot, too.

I wanted to see you as soon as possible and tried not to be late

and ran toward you.

I really ran as hard as I could, but I was late every day. Right?

- Mom. - Yeah?

It's okay if you come a little late.

- What? - I can wait.

So take your time when you come.

What if you trip while you come running?

Okay. I won't run, then. Don't worry. I won't trip.

Hey, Bong Gi! Isn't that the Chief's mother?

What should I do? Should I go in and face off against her?

Our relationship is strictly restricted to the workplace!

Don't cross the line more than you already have.

But even so, how could I just do that?

I can't. I'm going to go in there, face off against her, and die!

Um, Chief! I have to talk to you about something!

- Later, Deputy Chief Nam. - Chief!

- What's with her? - Yeah, I wonder.

What's with her?

Big Sis! Your mother just packed her bags and got in a cab!

I think she's planing to go back down to Busan.

- Where are you headed? - Busan. One ticket, please.

59,800 won, please.

Oh my, what do we have here? I'm going home. Why did you come here?

If you were leaving, you should've told me so, at least.

I made some perilla leaf kimchi that you like, and put it in the fridge.

I never said I wanted to eat that kind of thing.

- You're not even feeling well. - Make sure you eat all your meals.

You need to eat! The rice in your rice cooker smelled like it was fermenting!

Take it. Some spending money for you.

I don't need it. Go on now. It's almost time for my train.

Have a safe trip. And call me when you get there.

That day... was the day I was getting paid.

I'm talking about the day that your father passed away.

If I didn't do business that day, I'd lose money for an entire month's work.

We spent all the money for your college tuition

because he was hospitalized for a year.

And we even spent all the money that we were

going to spend for you to do a homestay in Seoul.

The day your tuition was due was coming up, so I had to make money!

I couldn't let you give up college on top of everything else.

It's not that I didn't go to see him.

It's just that your dad couldn't wait for me and went on ahead.

If he just waited one more day, I would've been able to say goodbye.

But even so... I'm sure your dad knows how I felt.

Your father is the one who got your college tuition for you.

Just know that.

Mom!

Yes, I know.

I discovered a suitable target.

Did you take care of the shares?

Check your Singaporean bank account.

I'm in the middle of strategizing, so be ready to move as soon as I call you.

Yes, Boss.

You know, I'd never be able to live like Deputy Han.

Even if I get married, I never want both of us to work!

And what kind of man do you want to marry?

Obviously not a guy who makes us both have to work!

What about a house-husband?

- And I'd be the breadwinner? - Yeah.

- I don't like that, either. - Ah. I see.

I'm going to meet a really skilled guy and listen to people call me "Madam"

or I'll become a totally successful single woman, like Chief Ok.

I'll be one of the two.

And I wonder just how much money your future husband has to make?

It'll probably have to be over 100 million won.

What would you do if someone offered you a yearly salary of over 100 million won?

I don't know. I'd have to think about it.

Like, really seriously.

Are you saying that you could go work for someone else

as long as they paid you a lot? And cast Lovely aside?

What a troublemaker we've got over here!

Isn't it natural for a salaryman to be drawn to a place with a higher salary?

You seem like someone who's never worked in an office.

Well, I... chose not to. Yeah.

You must not be aware, since you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth

but for dirt-poor people like me, rich companies are the best!

You pay for all this.

What's with Deputy Park?

Oh crap. Mi Ri. I left my card at home.

It's me, Park Hyun Woo. About what you mentioned before...

the new product we'll be launching.

So, did you think about it?

If I were to bring it to you before it's released

how much can you give me as my annual salary?

If you just bring it over to us, we'll give you

a Deputy Chief's salary, with a bonus on top of that!

Then, how much will you give me as a commission?

I'll talk to the higher-ups and make sure that you don't walk away disappointed.

Ji Ho! Just have one more spoonful before you go!

Hurry! Okay? Hurry!

Say "ah." Say "ah!" Let's go!

Who is it?

Hurry, let's go!

This is Ms. Han Young Mi's place, correct?

Huh? Who were you, again?

- Oh, so you're Ji Ho! - How do you know his name?

Oh. A special someone from Lovely sent me here.

- "Special someone?" - Yes.

Until your mother-in-law returns, I'll be taking good care of him

so that you can work without any worries!

So don't worry, and please get to work on time.

Yeah, Woo Joo is studying so hard lately that it's almost an issue.

- Oh! - Good morning.

- Good morning! - Deputy Han!

What happened? Your mother-in-law is back?

- No. - Oh!

- So Ji Ho's dad is in charge today? - Thanks for sending someone.

- What? - You sent someone to watch Ji Ho.

I did?

He said that a special someone here sent him.

- It wasn't you? - I'm not exactly a special someone.

That's weird. Who was it, then?

A special someone, huh? A special...

No!

Big Sis! I think 30,000 won is too little for babysitting!

This won't do! Take this!

50,000 won! Please?

Chief. Here's the concept for the lipstick.

A new start... a new beginning. I like that as our concept.

And I like the internet marketing plan that you have, too.

Okay. Let's go with this. Um, what is it?

You said not to get in others' business and to maintain a distance

but it seems that you've crossed the line.

What are you talking about?

You said you couldn't give people special treatment, but you did.

I'm taking about Deputy Han. She's quite thankful.

I don't understand a word you're saying.

It's good for there to be camaraderie among subordinates and superiors.

It's true that we only met due to work

but we can't just draw impassable boundaries between us because of that.

We should help out those who are having a hard time.

Give it a rest already, Deputy Chief Nam. It's almost sickening.

From now on, you should let people know when you do a good deed.

instead of being so strict with your boundaries.

Then, I'll be going now.

Yes, please do that. Yes.

I've already signed. Take your time reading it over before you decide.

Yes.

1 billion won?

It's pretty much spring now. Should I take a selfie?

Damn it, I left it behind! Geez!

- Yes? - A package.

Thank you.
