Original subtitles

I got this text.

YOUR HUSBAND'S MISTRESS IS ON YOUR TEAM

I wanted to bury it.

I tried.

But it keeps growing in my mind.

I need to know…

about the woman you had an affair with.

I do need to know.

Who on earth did this?

I don't know who sent it.

The original number was changed…

by my computer.

I was going to let it slide thinking it was a bad prank.

But I just couldn't.

I couldn't help it.

I wanted to act like…

I have a big heart thinking anyone could waver

once in a while.

I hoped I could pretend…

that I still had my dignity or I was so generous…

that I could tolerate everything.

I think every day.

He must have…

held her hands…

and touched her face.

As you touched her…

you must've whispered love.

All those thoughts drive me crazy.

I calm myself and try not to.

I just can't stop thinking.

It's like hell every day.

I get so furious at you first.

But then something absurd occurs to me.

Maybe it was my fault.

Maybe I gave you the reason.

I must be the problem.

-Jung-sun. -I can't keep living with these delusions.

So I need to know.

Whatever lies behind…

and whatever comes next, I need to know.

Don't say you stayed quiet for me.

It isn't because you care for me.

You're afraid of what you'll lose.

You want to protect that woman?

Is this text true?

-No. -Then why?

Why can't you tell me?

You never talk when you need to talk.

You couldn't imagine how I feel.

It was the same before.

I wanted you to yell at me and bite my head off.

It would've been better that way.

I'll stay at a hotel for now.

Call me when you're ready to talk.

Jung-sun!

Don't think you can avoid this.

I'm not going to step back.

I'll leave.

I'll leave the house.

Just stay here.

It's delicious. I bet this place will be very popular.

I agree.

Experience is an asset in what we do.

You should check what's on-trend these days.

Even this place.

Okay.

Unfortunately, money is necessary for you to do what you like.

Why aren't you eating?

I'm not hungry.

Come on. These are fine dishes.

By the way, did you hear?

Mr. Jung's wife

is going to sue our company for firing him for having an affair.

No way! Are you serious?

She's no ordinary type.

I even get to understand Mr. Jung at this point.

It's not easy to live with such a wife.

She has to go on with her life.

She's a victim too.

Right.

Whatever the reason, having an affair can't be justified.

Don't you agree?

It destroys a family in the end.

You're right. It's very wrong.

I guess everyone thinks differently these days.

-I think-- -What do you think, Yu-ri?

It is a wrongdoing.

What's up with this atmosphere?

Excuse my tongue for bringing it up in front of a married woman.

I got dense after I got divorced.

Let's just keep on enjoying our tasty food.

This is Myungil Department Store's standing point plan for Tifone.

We try to deliver the same message worldwide

through our brand identity.

With this extent of localization, I would have to think it over.

Of course, we can make adjustments to reflect the headquarters' opinion.

I see the size of Sungun's main store

is about two-thirds the size of Myungil's.

According to Tifone's brand identity and the concept

of casual high-end jewelry, we placed it

at the center of the section

instead of the usual jewelry section.

Its space is small

but it has high accessibility since it's in the center.

Also, it's in the middle of the highest-selling luxury brands.

People would take it as a key brand.

In fact, such an arrangement is quite an unconventional attempt

for our department store.

Tifone's chairman isn't easy.

I can't read his mind.

We have to make this work in order to take the next step.

-Report the result by today. -Yes, sir.

Right.

How did it go?

It should be taken care of soon.

Good.

This is Park Sung-jun of the VIP team.

This is Lia of Tifone.

We should meet up.

For a painting of destruction, it's quite beautiful.

The painter must have known

that desiring something and being destroyed

is more tempting than wanting nothing.

The works you have asked for have all been paid off.

We'll deliver them to this address.

I'll get to see this work of art in my own living room thanks to you.

The contract--

You should take it.

Excuse me for a moment.

Sir.

Pardon?

Yes, I understand.

Thank you.

Was that Daniel?

Yes.

Has he decided on Sungun?

Yes.

I'll take this one for free as it's nothing but easy money.

Don't feel too bitter. I got one from Myungil too.

And I have nothing to do with Tifone any longer.

If they consider this as a lobby, the bidding will be canceled.

So why don't we both keep quiet?

I heard that you've been with Chairman Daniel for a long time.

When you meet someone, you're bound to part ways.

I'm breaking up with him.

I can't be the only one going home empty-handed.

Don't you feel sorry…

for him at all?

It's funny to hear someone

pretending to be nice when you're here to bribe me.

Wouldn't it feel better to blame a totally mean wench

than a moderately mean wench?

Please go to the airport.

Did you know?

When I had nothing…

it was you who told me that I shined like jewels.

That got me to where I am.

I already knew.

I knew that you no longer loved me.

It was too easy to realize.

But I was okay with it.

Because I still loved you.

It was okay.

But I can't let Tifone go to waste because of my feelings.

There are many people on my side on the board of directors.

You can't beat me.

No.

I'm much stronger

than you think.

Especially when I have to protect something I cherish,

I can be stronger.

MOU SIGNING CEREMONY OF SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE AND TIFONE

You now take pictures with the board members.

It's sad.

I wanted to stay for one more day if I had time.

I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Korea.

It's my wedding ring.

So she's on the same team.

Yes. How did you know?

-Thank you for all your help. -Have a safe trip.

It's been a long time.

How have you been?

100 MILLION WON

The vice president…

wants to end the relationship.

Is he seeing someone else?

What if I don't want to end it?

What happens then?

Soo-jin, your colleagues think

that you're having a normal relationship.

If they find out you were having an affair,

they'll be very surprised.

It doesn't matter.

Your parents wouldn't want to know about it.

It's a confidentiality agreement

to ensure that what happened between you two

will never be revealed to the outside.

It's also best for you

to let go of him now.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

Good job.

Now it's done, you just have to join the board.

It's time to do some real stuff.

Yes, sir.

MY LOVE

Stop there!

Let's run away now.

This way!

Still?

Never mind.

What was that leery reaction?

I mean, think about it.

Why wouldn't she come back unless she had another reason?

-Another reason? -Another man, for example.

You son of a bitch!

I was just saying.

What do you take my wife for?

Watch your mouth.

Man.

You better not let her too loose.

You don't even know where she is.

Don't trust her.

You could end up like me.

You never know what will happen.

I'm sorry.

Share this with Seo-jun.

Have you fed Young-jun and Seo-jun?

-Yes. Where are you? -I'm out for a moment.

-Where? -Why do you ask?

Where are you?

Are you interrogating me or what?

How about we go where you are?

-What? -I mean

I need to know where you're staying at least.

What if you pass out and die alone?

The kids think I'm working in another city.

They won't understand.

-Then I will-- -Ms. Song Mi-na?

I need to go. Let's talk later.

Have you made up your mind?

Yes.

Your husband?

This baby doesn't have a dad.

I want to get it done as soon as possible.

Sure.

The reception will help you with the appointment.

Okay.

How far must we walk?

We're almost there.

SUPERMARKET

Don't tell me it's this rooftop house.

It's a nice one.

It's hard to get a place like this with the money you have.

This is the realtor.

We're here to take a look.

Hello.

The location is quite nice.

It's for sale since she is moving out to a fine apartment.

You won't find a better one.

I see.

I guess you're moving.

Yes.

What do you say? Isn't it nice?

I'll check some more places.

All right.

Goodbye.

It's the invitation list of VIPs for the Tifone fair.

Their faces, names, remarks. Memorize everything that's written here.

Even their family backgrounds.

Okay.

We're meeting with partner companies, starting today.

Ms. Song and Mr. Ma, you're with me.

-Ms. On, you're with Ms. Lee. -Okay.

This will mark the beginning of our battle.

Hello.

-Hello and hi. -Hello.

-Hello. -What brings you here, Mr. Cha?

The Tifone fair will be in this month's special section.

The head of my department has ordered me

to watch you closely during the preparations.

I may bother you from today on.

Please be understanding.

We're all doing this to make a living, you know.

Ms. On.

Please do a good job.

You'd better stay focused.

They'll try to attack us like hyenas.

I'm CEO Lee Myung-hoon of Dongil.

I'm director Park Chi-won of Ilhoon.

I'm director Song Il-young of Ailey.

I'm CEO Kim Tae-ho of Gardener.

As you all know,

we'll select a valet company for this coming event

based on your presentations today.

Let's begin.

We will start with Dongil.

The rest of you wait in the room next door.

Keep your eyes wide open.

You're a judge today.

Innovation is necessary for department stores now.

We need people with young spirits like Mr. Park

in order to cope with changing trends.

Such a personnel appointment

could demotivate those workers who are working their way up.

An organization is a living thing. They change and adapt.

He has shown results that merit the promotion.

I don't think this is unreasonable.

We will discuss

this matter at the next meeting again.

To the people working in an organization,

human resources are everything.

We have to think about this carefully.

That's right. I was saying the same thing, Father.

Father.

-This era-- -Jumping on the bandwagon

will make us lose our path.

There is a reason why each group has a different culture.

Let's wait and see.

If he seems trustworthy,

even if you don't say anything, I will promote him.

Okay.

Good work, sir.

Sure.

That old man.

He's still caught up in old stuff.

Try to hit it big with the Tifone case.

We have to use numbers to win.

I got this text.

Kim Dong-woo from the IT management team.

Park Sung-jun from the VIP team.

Hi, what's the matter?

Can I ask you a favor?

If it's for you, I'll do anything.

Can you get the employee time sheets

for after 8 p.m. on October 7th?

-Time sheets? -Yes.

Usually, I would need official paperwork for this.

That's why I gave you a call directly.

It's hard to tell you the details. I need it for work.

Okay. I'll do this for you.

Thank you.

-Mr. Lee! -Yes?

EMPLOYEE TIME SHEETS

Print this out and give it to Mr. Park of the VIP team.

Don't use emails or the office messenger. Print it out and give it to him.

Okay.

The main dish

should have five variations for the people to choose from.

More importantly,

I'd like chef Michael to be our main chef to cater the event.

Many important people are coming.

As you probably know, chef Michael works only for the events he wants.

I'll try to arrange a meeting.

Okay. Thank you.

I also made a wine list that will be served.

You can taste them.

Hello?

Ms. Na, what should I do?

I think I made a mistake.

What?

I'll be there soon. Go over what you did again.

Mi-na, I have to head back in first.

Meet chef Michael for me.

Okay.

We'll review the details and call you back later.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How does it feel to be the person making choices?

Pardon?

We have to bow down to the VIPs.

That company bows down to us.

Isn't life funny?

We bow down to the VIPs, and they bow down to us.

That's how life goes.

It's okay to have some fun.

Don't get too excited.

Nothing is free in this world.

You couldn't find it?

You should know, Mr. Ma.

If we can't find the original files, we need the president's seal again.

Yes.

We can take care of our side.

But what to do for Tifone's seal?

You must find it.

Okay.

After going to the business strategy team office for the papers,

did you ever let go of the papers?

Let me think.

I met Mr. Lee of the merchandise team in the elevator.

His boxes looked so heavy, so I tried to help him.

That was when?

Maybe I left them on the box.

Forget it.

I'm not interested in working for rich people.

-It's not like that. -I should go.

I'm sorry.

We can't overrule the chef's decision.

I'm back.

Chef Michael agreed to do it?

I heard he's picky.

Is he the most popular one?

Yes, he's the most popular chef among VIPs these days.

There's a joke that even the president has to wait

for a month to eat his dishes.

He's one of a kind.

I'll try to persuade him.

You can trust me.

All right.

ENTRY LOG

I'm not here for you. I'm here to meet Mr. Park.

-You're here. -Yes.

Mr. Kim told me to give this to you.

-Thank you, Mr. Lee. -Sure. No problem.

This is On Yu-ri of the VIP team.

Hello.

This is CEO Kim Tae-ho of Gardener.

Hi, sir.

Me?

I don't think that's possible.

I'm sorry. Bye.

I had it when I left the elevator.

It narrows down the search.

You have to search everything and ask everyone upstairs.

Okay.

Can I see the security videos for October 7th?

-After 8 p.m. -October 7th?

Yes. It's for work.

The videos for that day

have been taken already by the head of your team.

Sorry?

-Aren't you in the VIP team? -I am.

Minutes ago, Mr. Park Sung-jun took the video file.

Okay. I see.

Ms. Na, I found it!

I put it way inside my desk because I wanted to keep it safe.

It happened to fall behind the desk.

That's a relief.

Go to Mr. Park and give him the papers.

Okay.

I'm not sure if you'd like it.

Do you like wine?

-Sure. -Good.

I'm here…

because I thought I should make myself clear.

There must have been a misunderstanding.

There's nothing I can do for you, even with all these favors.

We lost the bidding.

Ms. Lee called today.

So you don't need to worry

if this is to entertain you or not.

Then why?

I want to be on good terms with you.

Though I lost the bidding this time,

there will be chances.

And you could be the one making the decisions then.

I'm investing in the long run.

So don't feel burdened tonight.

Think of it as a casual meeting where we eat and drink.

-Are you serious? -Yes.

I've lost track of the time talking with you.

We seem to speak the same language.

Wouldn't it be better to work with someone who speaks the same language?

The contract hasn't been signed yet.

Why don't you talk to Ms. Lee again?

Share your opinion to establish

your place in the office.

I told you.

I wouldn't be here if this was just to entertain me.

You could talk to her about it once. I'm just saying.

You want to be on good terms with me?

I'm afraid you've failed.

Do I look that naive to fall for a glass of wine?

No, that's not what I meant.

We won't forget about the favor you'll do for us.

Again, you've made a mistake.

Let's just say we had a pleasant time tonight.

I'm afraid I'll be offended if we carry on.

Goodbye.

Ms. On.

VACANT

You could be the one making the decisions.

I'm investing in the long run.

MY LOVE

Jung-sun…

has already been hurt too much.

If she finds out that it's you,

it'll leave…

a scar in her heart forever.

I can't let that happen.

I'm…

done.

I'm never going back.

So…

you should end it too.

Please.

RECEIPT OF THE SUM

THE EARTH AND THE BIRD

I'll be back.

I want you to be my friend today.

YOUR HUSBAND'S MISTRESS IS ON YOUR TEAM

It was sent from your computer?

And you don't know who it was?

No.

Guess Sung-jun figured out who it was.

He took the security camera footage of the day it was sent.

Sometimes I wonder he must have

figured out who it was

as there could be rumors in the office.

At the same time, would he have gone that far if it wasn't true?

Do you really want to know?

If you don't want a divorce,

nothing good will come out of it,

whatever it was.

That's what I thought too.

But I should know first…

to decide whether I'll be able to forgive him

or not.

I can't live the rest of my life being afraid of the truth.

Are you sure

you won't regret it?

Then find out about it.

If you're going to keep doubting him,

wouldn't it be better to check for yourself?

That's if…

you really have to know.

Excuse me, chef.

I need to go back in five minutes for the lunch hour.

Okay.

A year ago, after Ms. Jung Soon-ok lost her husband, she couldn't eat anything.

But she regained her energy with your food.

Ms. Lee Na-yoon suffered from anorexia until she first had your dish.

She started to eat little by little after then.

What are you trying to say?

I want to say that we aren't simply running errands for rich people.

All of them

love your dishes without any other intentions.

And we came to you because of these customers.

Can't you reconsider once more?

Why are you doing this much?

This project is important to me.

My promotion is on the line.

So it has to go well, and for that to happen…

the customers must be satisfied.

Did you say 100 servings?

Then the main menus can't be more than three dishes. Is that okay?

Yes.

It's negotiable enough.

Leave your business card. I'll send you a course proposal.

Thank you.

Don't misunderstand me.

I'm not doing this because of your story.

It's because you seem so desperate.

And you remind me of my past.

I don't get emotional, but I just did.

If you had said, "Well, you'll get paid for it.

And my customers' satisfaction is my satisfaction."

I would've said no.

But you said it was for your sake.

I like your honesty.

Thank you.

I need to go for lunch hour now.

Of course.

Let me check and call you back.

Ms. Lee. Chef Michael is with us.

-Did he say he'd do it? -Yes.

I can't believe you convinced him.

Report it to Mr. Park yourself.

You made a big contribution. You should take credit for it.

Okay.

Good work.

You did a good job.

Thank you.

HUSBAND

We need to talk after work today.

How much longer must I wait?

You once asked me…

to stop you just once.

This time, can't you stop me just once?

These days, I keep thinking…

that things have gotten worse between us

because we buried it as if everything was okay.

I don't want to make the same mistake.

We might not lose each other that way.

Are you alright?

You really want to know?

Right.

At first, I tried to understand

because you went through so much alone.

I knew you suffered.

You're ambitious at work, and you're passionate.

You must've been troubled to lose your promotion, raising our kids.

So I thought

it was understandable.

Now, I'm saying I'll change.

I've come to my senses.

But you still insist that you won't come back.

I'm confused now.

Jong-chan wondered…

if you are having an affair.

I know it doesn't make any sense.

But then I wonder if it really doesn't make

any sense. Our current situation itself doesn't make any sense.

I'm so confused…

these days.

I'm sorry.

Just a little.

Wait a little bit more.

Not just acquaintances.

The company doesn't know.

Be careful not to let my wife see her today.

You need to tell me so that I know.

I'll go. Let's talk it all out after work today.
