Although the problems have not been solved, who was embezzlement still can not figure out, the project has not been continued, but Young Do hope the preparation and his planning, it would receive the support from other shareholders, who always travel and have a close relationship with Zeus. His father - Dong Wook has helped him a lot, today he come to encourage him. Young Do try to regain calm, his confidence, he must to finish best, crossing this trouble to defeat the counsel of Jong Suk. In the conference room, Young Do glanced around, Jong Suk is also present, he was not far, he sat at front row to see at him challenging, smug. Young Do did not know how much victories that he grasp in hand and did not know how many people who have followed his side, his heart suddenly aroused a feeling of extreme anxiety.

........... .....

Royal Hospital,

"Lady, why did you told me bring this costume?" - Mrs. Hwang put bag down.

Nari quickly grabbed, she removes the needle fluids and into the toilet to change clothes. Just a moment later, her pale face was makeup becomes more rosy.

Mrs. Hwang: "Where are you going?"

Nari: "I have to go out in a hurry. Do not tell anyone, ahjuma"

"But.... your health. " - Mrs. Hwang wants to chase, but the shadow of her disappeared. Nari run to the hospital gate, she exhaled fatigue, cough. But she can not fall into the time, she had important work to do, she caught a taxi and rushed to the car.

..................

Zeus Hotel,

Young Do transpire, he has never fallen into such difficult circumstances. The amount of damage is too large, they alleged that is pretext to be against him. No doubt, Jong Suk too high-handed, he arranged all be perfect. They are asked to vote dismissing him. Stunned, his mind seemed to explode. Some oldmen shareholders said unless Young Do can compensate all losses, the vote will be postponed. Obviously they want to put him to step along the road, his private property can not be enough. Standing beside him, Dong Wook was angry, he muttered a curse.

- "Shareholders Yeon"

The call came from the bottom of room interrupted insolent tone of the old man who criticism Young Do that made him and all of them look back.

"Chairman Shin" - It seems that the words resounded in the room. Nari smiled at the man she loves, he stared at her in surprise. Nari move upward, keep stolid countenance, she looks authority, said: "Sorry for arbitrarily to come the meeting of Zeus though I was not a shareholder."

- "So why do you come? Who lets her here? " - A voice asked.

Nari: "I want to inform everyone a recent misunderstanding. As we know SIB invested for projects of Jeju JG - conference center, according to the news that the contract be canceled . That is not true, SIB continued cooperation with Zeus, so i hope that people do not get this reason to make hard with President Choi.”

- "As far as I know, SIB did not want to cooperate, the shareholders of your company are strongly opposed. What do you have to guarantee for me to believe? At least you must bring the contract to here. Furthermore, not only a problem related to SIB, President Choi did not fulfill responsibility to Zeus. The best you do not participate in my job.”

Nari: "I am assured by my power in company. I am the chairman of the board of SIB, can’t I decide to cooperate? If let others control my powers, I sat in that position will be mean nothing ". - What this shareholder said, it wrong result, in SIB her mother is holding to mobilize other shareholders against her and stop her protect Zeus. But Nari resolute, strong, she responded: "Another problem of Zeus, your mean is about misappropriating and trouble in Hong Kong. Okay, yes, I should have a guarantee for you. I carefully calculated, the total amount of damage for everything is 589 billion won. I will be who compensate this money.”

Voice of buzz around the room, no one can believe what she’s just said. They wondered if she was joking or ask her to do so for what reason. Because that amount is too large. Young Do pulled her hand, he frowned, whispered: "You withdrew what you said."

Nari smirke, she said: "Everyone assured, i’m not joke. My own property has been known, or all of you doubt that i don’t have enough money. Yes, exactly I would use my assets to pay. This amount will be immediately transferred to the account of Zeus if people abandoned the idea of dismissing President Choi. Think carefully. Ultimately what shareholders want here is just profit. If the dismissal of President Choi, all you also get nothing. But if you agree with my conditions, simply to retain a President that people hate, but the large amount of that projects will flow into the pocket of you”.

"Why Chairman Shin spend such a large amount of money for this? " - Jong Suk looked straight into her eyes, he asked.

Nari: "Chairman Lee, you know reason .... So how is the decision of the shareholders?"

.....................

And last, the meeting had ended, people leave. Nari came up to Jong Suk, she told him in a spiteful tone: "I'll never forget what you did. Let's remind that you were so lucky when I don’t prosecute you.”

Jong Suk:" Why do not you do that? Do what you want. Or because your love?”

Nari: "Nonsense. I respect you because of little emotional for Jong Suk before, a brother, and not for evil Jong Suk now. You remembered that today I won and after I will win. The shares that you hold in Zeus, I will take all back”.

Jong Suk: "Do you want to take it now? I'll sell it for you with the price that you’ve just used, is all of the remaining assets of you.”

Nari: "You, What did you say?”

Jong Suk: “You’re scared? This action is to sacrificed for the one you love. You dare do it again for him or not?”

"Ri Ri "- Young Do called - "Don’t care him. We go. My dad want to tell with you.”

He pulled Nari away out of sight of Jong Suk to come where his father was waiting.

Dong Wook:" What you had suggested in the meeting, i’m very thankful. But do not think that because it will make me accept you.”

"Choi ahjussi, i’m ... "- Nari suddenly dizzy, shoulder pain. Subconsciously she touches it, the wound bleeds due still not healed. Young Do panic, he immediately took her back to the hospital.

...............

"Nari, how do you feel?" - Young Do was worried to ask.

Nari: "Well, i’m ok?"

Young Do: "You’re not necessarily to do that? That amount equal to half your assets. I could not take it for company.”

Nari: "I do this voluntarily. You do not fret or cause of your self-esteem that you don’t get. Think that i loaned. When you have enough, you pay it back for me.”

Young Do:" Oh, so you know to when i can pay all. If you calculate interest, how do i know to do?”

"All your life. And the after life, after life."- Nari affectionate smile, she sat up in bed, arched toward him. Her lips searching his lips to give him a hot kiss. Two tongues intertwined with longing of many distance days.

Suddenly, a voice cleared throat cut intense emotions of the young couple. Nari and Young Do have a look at who broke their atmosphere. Just saw this people, Young Do confused, he stood up and bowed respectfully: "Mrs.Sung, I'm sorry"

Sung Kyo - Nari’s mother, she glared at him and nasty to say to her: "I’ve just heard, you came to the shareholders' meeting of Zeus and vowed to use your assets to help them.”

Nari: "Yes”

Sung Kyo: "Are you crazy? The money that you were hard to make. But dare you give it for him?" - She pointed to Young Do

Nari: “It turns out that you still remember the money what i earned. So the way to use is right of me”.

"Nari "- Sung Kyo yelled angrily, turned to Young Do -" What spell that you did with my daughter to let her do this?”

...................

Jong Suk never stop watching her. He stood outside monitoring everything. Secretary Song asked him:" Chairman, are you ignored? We had to be hard”.

Jong Suk:" You did not see that Nari has prepared? Some shareholders agreed to support us but to last minute they change. On the market, her ability is not small. Besides, she also knows more. Were you fired from the company, right? Do not worry, I will arrange for you a new job in P.L”

Secretary Song: "Thanks, Chairman"
