Hello?
What? Na-na overdosed on pills?
You must be so shocked. How's Na-na doing?
Her stomach was pumped and she received emergency treatment.
But she's not waking up.
Did you two fight?
Just this morning she was smiling about sending you off to work.
Did something happen?
- I'm sorry. - The doctor says it was sleeping pills.
She's never taken sleeping pills before. Which means it was intentional.
I'll apologize in his stead.
I'm sorry.
She made it through alright but she hasn't woken up in hours.
What'll we do?
Let's transfer her into the care of my physician, Doctor Kim.
I'll talk to the head doctor here.
Her father's still in Europe on a business trip.
I don't know what to do.
Na-na, are you awake?
Mom.
You're at the hospital.
Recognize me?
Jae-bum.
Why would you do something so foolish?
I just couldn't sleep.
I didn't do it to make problems for you.
How is Na-na?
She woke up.
I see.
It wasn't a suicide attempt. She just couldn't sleep.
I think Jae-bum's the cause. I don't know how I'll face her father.
And Jae-bum's feeling pretty burdened, too.
I think this is the time to press for their marriage.
That'll help ease things over with her father, too.
What do you think?
Yes, I agree.
I expect you'll help Na-na and Jae-bum to get together.
I will.
You should get to work. You'll be late.
Jae-bum, I know you're busy but take care of Na-na.
The doctor says she needs stability.
Make sure she doesn't get too excited or overly emotional.
Take care of her for a while, please.
How's Na-na?
She was just discharged.
I'm glad it's not more serious.
I have to look after her until she's better.
I guessed as much. You should.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing? Please don't.
And take care of Na-na so she won't have a hard time.
Secretary Yoon?
These documents are for Director Choi of Star.
I already had a lawyer look over it so just hand it to him.
Yes, ma'am.
It's coming, Jung-woo.
Soon, you'll breathe your last.
President Oh? President Oh!
Hello?
Our money sources have dried up and we can't survive on what we have.
Sir, Director Choi is here.
Show him in.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
What is this regarding?
Take a look at this.
What is it?
PJ Company...
A well-known investment company in Dubai.
They handled the investments for the Saipan Water Park,
Dubai's largest hotels and Japan's Disneyworld.
So they're a finance company. Why are you showing me this?
The big players are talking about PJ and I barely got the details on them.
Most construction companies abroad work through PJ.
I hear they receive dividends of at least 10 to 20 times their investment.
So use our remaining funds to make dividends off of that company?
We can't watch Star fall because of lack of capital.
You'll make the final decision, but my life also depends on Star.
This is the best chance to make money in a short period of time.
We have to do what we can to save the company.
A portion of the shares I promised.
You'll get the rest as well as the VP position when the plan succeeds.
And what if President Park doesn't take the bait?
That's for the heavens to decide.
But a man blinded by greed is often unable to see the cliff at his feet.
Don't worry.
Anyway, I'm putting my trust in you.
With Dream's help, Star will get back on its feet in no time.
The chairman is very interested in how this plan will turn out.
He won't forget the part that you played.
I didn't do much.
They can provide high dividends because they don't sell their name.
Jung-woo, where's dinner?
Excuse me? You JUST ate.
When did I eat?
Mi-ran starved me all day. I'm dying of hunger.
Mother, what is wrong with you? You were fine a moment ago.
What did I do? Why are you being *** me?
Just tell me if you don't want to feed me.
Why are you sighing like that?
What in the world happened? How can my ring be a fake?
That's impossible.
Yeah, it was then. It was that man.
I hear you're selling that diamond that you adore.
Ga-eun, was it you again?
Honey, about my ring. I'm positive Ga-eun switched it.
She knew that I was going to sell it. She had someone steal it.
Shut up.
She doesn't know what your ring looks like.
Stop talking such nonsense.
I showed her the ring once.
And there aren't many of the kind in the world.
She could've easily found it on the internet.
Yoo Ga-eun switched my ring. I'm certain.
If you have nothing better to do, nurse Mother.
Or take care of Na-ri.
Have you prepared her for school next year?
Always Ga-eun, Ga-eun!
It's not an excuse.
Fine, improbable as it is, let's assume that Ga-eun stole it.
Think we can report her for it?
Who would believe Chairman Maeng's wife stole a ring from a designer?
So you'd rather I just bear all the injustice she heaps on me?
I'll go insane from the repressed stress and anger.
You're not the only one.
It's not just Yoo Ga-eun tormenting me. Ha Jae-bum has joined in.
So can't you please get out of my hair?
Ha Jae-bum, too?
Yeah.
He's trying to buy my shares and is digging into Paulo Luca's identity.
He's looking for Paulo Luca?
And what do you do to help? You offer to sell a fake ring!
Ha Jae-bum is trying to find Paulo Luca, is he?
Maeng Seo-jin, we're supposed to be just friends.
You can't keep calling like this.
Is that Seo-jin? Tell him to come visit.
Mom, don't even. He can't come.
He's upstanding and a good person. Totally husband material.
Hello? No, it's nothing.
Why did you call?
What? Na-na overdosed?
And? Yeah?
She pulled that stunt because Jae-bum rejected her?
She's hopeless.
What's gonna happen to my sister?
Ah, whatever. Hang up.
I wish I could wipe my mind clean of you.
Maeng Seo-jin, please get erased.
Seo-jin is more than worthy to be your husband.
Mom, I broke up with him. Man, you don't know anything.
Uh huh, right.
Anyway, what did Na-na do? And what about your sister?
What's going on?
Na-na's doing everything she can to hold onto Jae-bum.
This is so upsetting.
Yes, yes. Of course.
Don't worry about Na-na and have a safe trip.
Jae-bum will take good care of her.
Let's get together when your husband gets back.
Bye.
Jae-bum, did you hear about Na-na's mother going to America?
I did.
Her eldest daughter had a baby, but she's too worried about Na-na to go.
Na-na might slip up again.
Think of it as saving her life and take good care of her.
We better set an engagement date when Chairman Yoon gets back.
We can't give you a loan. Star's debt ratio is too high.
This is no good. I'm getting rejected everywhere.
Fancy seeing you here. Trying to get another loan?
I guess it IS true that Star's almost out of capital.
What?
Isn't it true?
Ga-eun, you should watch your back.
Director Ha wants to invest in Star. He wants to become allies and help me.
Why? Don't believe me?
The shock of your betrayal must be great for him to offer me money.
Why didn't you accept his help?
You're in no position to be picky.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still holding on strong.
That's good to hear. Keep it up, President Park.
A quick and easy win is no fun for me either.
President Hwang, do you know a PJ Company located in Dubai?
What? You also invest in them?
Really?
Thank you for the information, President Hwang.
Yes, thank you. Goodbye.
The research you wanted on PJ Company.
A lot of capital flows into PJ because of the high rate of return
and investments can be made in secret.
They even accept dirty money. It's no surprise the dividends are so high.
If President Hwang invested a large sum, it does seem to be a solid investment.
What do you think, Kim? Would it be smart to invest?
But the company doesn't have much capital...
Precisely the reason I'm considering the investment.
I can scrape together some funds and use the rest of the private loan.
The rate of return is probably high because of an equally high risk.
So you're against the idea?
No, I'm just worried about the investment going wrong.
How can you do business if you're such a coward?
Opportunity knocks but once.
I'd rather go for that one chance
than wait for promissory notes and private loans to knock me down.
So Park Jung-woo finally took the bait?
Yes. It was a good thing you filled in President Hwang ahead of time.
That's good.
Is that so?
He'll even use his house as collateral to get together the investment?
Please call me if there are other developments.
Oh, and Mr. Kim?
Did you find out any more information on Paulo Luca?
All I know is that he was given carte blanche by Paulo Luca.
Julia might know something. She once mentioned him.
Mi-ran knows?
This is it?
- Got a problem? - No, no.
I'm grateful for this much. We don't even have money for ramen.
Why does Mi-ran pay you for the services I render?
Mister Cho, who's the person who feeds you?
It's me.
You have complaints about me handling your affairs?
Huh? Complaints?
Gotta say I don't even if I do.
Good enough.
This has to go off without a hitch, understand?
Yeah, I get it. Rose Hotel, right?
I already reserved a room. Just tell them your name.
And don't forget. You're an Italian now.
I am Italian.
Paulo Luca.
Grazie, grazie.
It's been a long time, Director Ha.
May I have a seat?
What would bring you here, Julia?
I don't believe we have any reason to meet.
Is that so?
I have some information you want. Don't you want it?
Aren't you curious where to find Paulo Luca?
Where is Paulo Luca?
He contacted me.
He's looking for another company to invest in.
Paulo Luca contacted you personally?
Yes.
We became acquainted in America. He was a fan of my work.
I'm the one who got him involved with Star.
But he says Star's a headache now and he wants to sell his shares.
And why are you telling me this?
I heard that you recently offered to buy my husband's shares.
I know about the tight pinch that Star is in.
Soon Star's stock will be worth little more than tissue.
We're on the verge of divorce.
At this rate, I won't get a dime in alimony.
So I support you buying Star's shares. I need you to save the company.
That way my husband's shares won't be useless and I can get some alimony.
That's the reason I'm telling you where to find Paulo Luca.
Rose Hotel?
I already asked him to meet with my friend, so he'll meet with you.
Jae-bum went to meet who?
Paulo Luca. He's staying at Rose Hotel, room 1120.
And? Why are you telling me this?
I gave in because Ha Jae-bum kept pushing me for info,
but I'm worried.
Worried why?
He's quite impressive.
I told him the man was dangerous but he still went for your sake.
Or are YOU the impressive one?
I'm not following.
There are rumors that Paulo Luca has ties with the mafia.
We were hesitant to meet him at first but we were desperate for an investor.
Ha Jae-bum looked very determined to buy Paulo Luca's shares.
I hope nothing happens to him.
I don't know what your motive is but you're fooling yourself.
With your track record, think I'll believe what you say?
Don't believe me then. That's up to you.
I gave you a fair warning.
If anything happens to him, it'll be your fault you didn't believe me.
And after everything that he does for you.
Oh, remember when your designs got leaked?
He fell down the stairs and hurt his head while chasing the guys behind it.
Mi-ran, what kind of low trick are you trying to pull?
If you do anything to him, I won't forgive you.
Finally, you show your true colors.
But I can't help having a bad feeling about this.
If he gets hurt again while helping you, how will you shoulder the guilt?
I'm just worried for you.
I warned you this time so don't blame me later.
Bye.
Kim Mi-ran!
About the guest in room 1120.
Yes, sir?
He doesn't seem to be in his room. When will he be back?
Room 1120... Ah, you mean Mr. Paulo Luca?
May I have your name, sir?
My name is Ha Jae-bum.
Ah, he left a memo for you.
He wants you to wait in his room.
Please wait upstairs.
Your call has been forwarded to...
This is Yoo Ga-eun of Dream Star. May I speak with Exec. Director Ha?
He's not in the office.
Where did he go?
Um...
It's an emergency. Please tell me.
He went to Rose Hotel to meet someone named Paulo Luca.
Really?
Even Ga-eun is hopeless when it comes to Ha Jae-bum.
Alright. Don't mess up.
Ga-eun, you poor thing.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Chairman Maeng will react.
It is true there's a Paulo Luca in room 1120?
- I'm from Dream. - Yes.
Please use the elevator to your right.
Thank you.
Jae-bum...
Ga-eun.
Who dares to play a trick like this on me?
ROSE HOTEL 1120
Capt'n Yeo!
Yes, sir?
Get the car ready, now!
Yes, sir.
What are you doing here?
What are YOU doing here? Let's go.
How did you know I was here?
That's not important right now.
Why are you trying to meet that dangerous man?
In order to take control of Star Fashion.
Won't that stop your revenge for good?
Don't do this. I'll get Star on my own.
Please don't do this for my sake.
I don't want you to get hurt or be in danger anymore.
Ga-eun.
What if you get hurt like last time?
How can you come alone? Do you know what Paulo Luca is like?
Were you that worried for me?
Don't be.
I'll help you end your revenge.
I won't let you go to the chairman.
