(Episode 16)

Hello?

Hello. Yes, I know.

Thank you.

I'll call you.

Mom.

I thought you lost your phone?

Did you find it?

No. I bought a new one because I couldn't find it.

How did you lose your phone?

Did you have something important in it?

Nothing too important.

You should've been more careful.

Who just called?

The chair of the committee from the business executives association.

This is what happens if you become powerful.

Once word got out that I'm close to Assemblyman Son,

people who never called started acting like we're close.

Hee Kyung. Don't you think...

it's because of the TV show and the comments online?

Even I'm getting calls asking if I'm okay.

What?

They keep asking me if it's true that you made shoes...

by copying other people's designs.

Seriously. This is so annoying.

Ms. Min.

Don't you have something to say about the design theft?

What do you think you're doing? You need to call first.

- Please leave. - Please say a few words.

I said to leave right now.

Just a minute.

Whom are you with?

I'm from "Hot News Seven."

Please give me an interview.

I'm from "News 25."

Please make some time.

Let's make an appointment for another time.

I have to get to a meeting.

- Ms. Min. - Ms. Min?

Ms. Min.

Fire everyone in Security.

Pardon?

Are you stupid?

Reporters were in the building, causing a ruckus.

What was Security doing?

Yes, ma'am.

What? You want to cancel your order?

Please speak with the Sales Department.

Mr. Yoon. The shop in Dongtan wants to return A80...

and asked us to pick them up right away.

The Myeongdong shop is demanding a refund as well.

What's going on?

I just sent you 3,000 dollars.

Cost is of no concern.

Keep posting nasty comments about Lora.

(CEO Min Hee Kyung)

Lora needs to repent.

Min Hee Kyung is a criminal.

We should bring this complaint to the Blue House.

She has no conscience.

Min must be held accountable and resign.

How did it go?

It looks bad.

Every shop is getting returns...

because of the Lora boycott.

The store owners are saying it's causing them a big loss,

and that they will sue for damages.

Ms. Min. Please wake up.

Ms. Min.

(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)

(My daughter)

Hello?

What? Mom fainted?

Mom. Let's go to the hospital.

You'll get seriously ill.

Dad.

How do you feel?

Why did you come? I'm fine.

Get up. Let's go to the hospital.

I'm fine.

I didn't eat because I had so much on my mind.

That's why I got lightheaded.

Regardless, let's go see a doctor.

- Get up. - Do as he says. Let's go.

- Mom. - Hi.

- Gemma. - How have you been?

Welcome home, my dear daughter.

- Gemma. - Hey.

You've gotten prettier.

I know you're just being nice, but I still like it.

So, have you had dinner?

I wanted your soybean paste stew, so I didn't eat.

My goodness. She must be psychic.

She made soybean paste stew tonight,

so we had lettuce wraps with it.

I'll make you a yummy dinner.

Slow down. You'll get sick.

Your soybean paste stew is the best in the universe.

The universe?

Is your grandmother good to you?

She is.

Then why do you look more gaunt every time?

Is your job too hard?

Gemma.

I wish you'd stop working at that company.

I know you only just started, but...

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

I'm sorry, Gemma.

I'm an evil witch.

I'm a sinner.

I should be struck by lightning.

How do you feel?

I feel much better...

thanks to a good night's rest.

Have some red ginseng tea.

It'll make you feel better.

I've still got it.

My husband makes me tea because I don't feel well.

Thank you.

Your pretty face looks terrible.

Why don't you step down now...

and leave the company?

The board members seem to be planning something.

They may call an emergency board meeting.

If things go wrong, they may even propose...

dismissing you as CEO.

That's absurd.

Min Hee Kyung is Lora, and Lora is Min Hee Kyung.

I'm the one who built Lora to what it is.

You should've run it well then.

Are you dumping everything on me?

I'm not dumping it on you, it's true.

You were excessively greedy and invested in Europe.

You made us frantic every time a promissory note was due.

I may be your husband,

but I'm a businessman and Lora Networks' chairman first.

As a chairman, I can't ignore what the board has to say.

You know that.

Ignore them.

You can do that.

No, things have changed.

I can't do as I please just because I'm a chairman anymore.

Help me.

You can persuade the board.

Honey.

They're money-hunting hyenas.

Naturally, I'm on your side,

but I can no longer guarantee...

that they'll choose you.

Perhaps they're not the ones...

who want me out.

Maybe it's you.

- How could you... - Admit it.

- It's you, isn't it? - Honey.

Lora is mine, no matter what anyone says.

I won't let anyone touch it.

Call a press conference.

- Pardon? - Are you deaf?

I'll give a press conference.

I'm the CEO of Lora Shoes,

Min Hee Kyung.

I apologize for causing a disturbance...

because of the recent matter...

regarding design theft.

Everything posted on social media...

was fabricated by someone...

in order to frame me for wrongdoing.

None of it is true.

I wanted to make my position clear.

Moreover, as the CEO of Lora Shoes,

I will use every resource to identify the culprit...

and bring them to justice.

I promise the public and the consumers...

before you today.

She really has an amazing presence.

She's so cool.

That's why she was voted...

the businessperson women want to emulate.

Who is it?

Who's doing this?

(First Custom Shoes)

So please, sir. Help me out.

I didn't know what to do when I saw the news.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know how serious it was.

- Hello? - It's me, Lora's Min Hee Kyung.

You're at the shop, aren't you?

I'm nearby.

I'm going to stop by.

Ms. Min is here.

She can't see me.

What do we do?

You should go there and hide.

Mr. Kim.

Why did you come here?

I said I won't work with you anymore.

Do you think you can get out of it...

if you stop working with me?

We're pretty much accomplices.

Accomplices?

You were the ones who gave me the tech packs of designs...

by the design students.

That was because you asked me to.

Regardless, we were in on it together.

But now, you want to save your own skin.

That's not right.

You've made a pretty penny from it.

You even moved your shop because I made you our supplier.

You won't repay evil for kindness, will you?

You remember those men's shoes...

that a girl designed for her brother's birthday,

don't you?

Give me that order form.

Why do you want that?

I threw it away when I cleaned up a few days ago.

What?

Don't you have notes that you took?

Her name, number, anything?

I just told you. I threw it all away.

Are you telling the truth?

Why would I make that up?

Don't try to play with me.

- Is someone back there? - No.

May I check?

There's no one there.

Ms. Min! The truth is...

that girl came by a few minutes ago.

Right before you came.

She's probably nearby.

What?

Why didn't you tell me that before?

You may be able to find her if you go now.

Oh my. I'm sorry.

What's your problem?

That's right.

A picture.

didn't I think of that?

Hey. Take a picture of Gemma's resume and text it to me.

This is the person...

who ordered those shoes, right?

Look closely. It's her, isn't it?

It kind of looks like her, but at the same time, not really.

She's dangerous.

She's not like the others.

She may put an end to you...

and me both.

- So look carefully... - It's not her.

I'm not positive, but I don't think it's her.

Then tell me whatever you remember.

Did she say what design academy she was attending?

Or where she lives?

Whom she's close to?

Anything. Tell me.

Those shoes...

were for her little brother's birthday,

but he died in an accident. That much I remember.

He died?

Her little brother?

Hee Kyung.

Your press conference...

Oh my gosh.

Were you caught in the rain?

Hee Kyung.

Are you...

Ms. Min Hee Kyung, the CEO of Lora?

Do you know me?

He wants to see his mom.

Jin Ho.

What did you just say?

Jin Ho is asking for his mom.

He died in an accident. That much I remember.

No!

No.

Honey.

What's wrong?

Do you feel sick?

No. It's nothing.

It's raining out.

Why isn't she home yet?

Is Gemma working late again?

I don't know.

Why not? You work with her.

Seriously.

I'm busy doing my own work.

My gosh. Is that right? Are you actually doing work?

Grandma. You still don't trust me?

I do it once I put my mind to it.

Goodness. Listen to him.

Oh my gosh. Why are you so drenched?

- Oh no. - Gemma.

Gemma.

What's going on?

Bring her to her room. Hurry.

What is going on?

What...

Are you okay?

Why did you get so wet? You should've called.

What is it?

So? Is she okay?

Does she need a doctor?

She has a slight fever.

I gave her medicine, so she'll be better soon.

Why was she walking in the rain?

What if she catches pneumonia?

She's fine. Calm down.

At that age, you can stay up for three days straight and be fine.

Gemma isn't like you.

She got surgery because of me.

I need to go up there and look after her.

It's okay. I'll do it.

You should go to sleep.

I'll keep checking on Gemma.

Goodness. I hope she recovers quickly.

You're still up?

Yes. I was going to the bathroom...

and saw her light on.

Were you nursing her all night?

I didn't nurse her.

I'm just checking on her now.

Hey.

Do you like Gemma?

Then make a move.

Don't weigh things and stall. You may lose her to another guy.

Is the advertisement proposal in a separate report?

Yes.

Okay, then. You may go.

Thank you.

Oh, wait.

I heard that Gemma Kim called in sick today.

Is she very sick?

I think she has a cold.

Why do you ask?

I was just wondering.

You seem to be very interested in Gemma.

It's only natural.

Once you marry Hye Bin, she and Hye Bin will be family.

I'll go now.

(CEO Yoon Ki Seok)

Here's the information on the source per ingredient.

Thank you.

Mr. Yoon...

Is Gemma okay?

She isn't answering her phone.

(Pulses Krill56)

Mother.

Gemma must be very sick.

- What? - They say it's a cold,

but it must be serious if she can't answer her phone.

My gosh.

She looked like she had lost weight too.

Gosh.

I apologize for causing a disturbance...

because of the recent matter...

regarding design theft.

Madam. Ms. Min is here to see you.

Again? That woman.

Why doesn't she ever call first?

Tell her I'm out. No.

- Tell her to wait. - Yes, ma'am.

What's going on?

You must be the busiest person in the entire country.

What brings you here?

No matter how busy I am, I need to make time for you.

Here. It's natural honey.

It was obtained from the mountain, so it's good for you.

Try it.

Really? Thanks. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Also...

I heard Kim Gemma called in sick today.

Is she feeling better?

She came home last night soaked from the rain.

She's passed out after taking medicine.

She'll be better once she gets some sleep.

Where's her phone?

How have you been?

I've been well.

I should've come to see you sooner.

I was terrible.

The store is doing well thanks to you.

I'm so very grateful.

It isn't thanks to me.

It's thanks to Gemma.

Sure. That's why...

I came here at the risk of being a nuisance.

I heard Gemma was very sick.

This is pine nut porridge. I made it myself.

Please have some...

and give Gemma some.

There's enough for the whole family.

Thank you.

Come by often.

Where's Gemma?

Oh dear. I'm sorry.

She's with a guest.

A guest?

Her company president.

Who?

Lora Shoes' president and CEO, Min Hee Kyung.

What was the rush?

She should've waited to see Gemma.

Gosh.

I'm going to get going now.

Is Gemma still asleep?

Well... Just let her sleep.

I'll come by again.

Okay. Bye now.

Hello?

Gemma. What happened?

I heard you were sick. Are you okay?

Hey, Yu Kyung.

How did you know?

I kept calling, but you wouldn't pick up, so I asked Mr. Yoon.

Mother made pine nut porridge and brought it over.

Did you see her?

She did?

Hey.

Are you up?

Do you feel better?

Yes. I'm sorry for worrying you.

I wasn't worried.

It's normal to get sick now and then.

I heard my mom came by.

She did.

She made you pine nut porridge.

She must've been worried because you were sick.

That's right. Ms. Min came by too.

She came to bring me a gift...

and wanted to look in on you since you had called in sick.

She looks heartless,

and I thought she was as cold as ice,

but I must've been mistaken.

She actually worried about you because you're her employee.

Gosh. I'm sure it's more because of Hyun Seok than Gemma.

Gemma will be her daughter's sister-in-law.

Is that right?

(Red Shoes)

It's that brat Gemma's doing.

Why Gemma?

You know I hate her.

It's work. It's not personal. I'm just doing my job.

Find out everything.

As quickly as possible.

You even sneak into people's rooms and steal?

You are fearless.

You're the one who's fearless.

She's up to something.

What is it? Why?
