Last Chapters Recap:

Park Shin Hye disguise herself as a trainee in Femme Magazine, because she wanted to dodge her responsibility to be the Director and the heiress of the group. She met the Flower Boys of Femme which include: her supposedly secretary Jung Yong Hwa and his gank, Jung Il Woo, Kang Min Hyuk and Yoo Seung Hoo. Jung Il Woo challenged Yong Hwa to take the nerdy In Ha - which was also Shin Hye - to company anniversary party and changed her appearance during the event. When he was trying to win the bet, Yong Hwa found out about Shin Hye's real identity and fell in love with her. They decided to date. In the party, Shi Hoo - her second cousin - played the recording of the night when Yong Hwa and Il Woo made the bet, infuriating Shin Hye. She decided to assume the director's position to bring the company down as revenge. As the director, Shin Hye decided to shake things up by re-shuffling the human resource in the company.  Ye Jin finally found out that Shin Hye was an heiress and was furious.

Shin Hye's brother Hyung Sik decided to go back to Seoul after learning her hardship, he befriended Yong Hwa and helped him when Shin Hye wanted the theme of December edition changed in last minute. Belle Magazine issued its edition with the same theme as Femme

​---o0o---

Yong Hwa strode inside the Star Media building feeling bipolar. Tomorrow was supposed to be an exciting day of Femme December published date, his first ever creation as Creative Director. However, although he tried not to show it to the team, he was actually feeling very disappointed that the original idea he came up with was cancelled and was changed to a new theme; it would be such an achievement to see his vision realized into a real-life magazine.

People would console him by saying that he would have another chance. That's the thing, there would not be another chance for him. He told her already, that he would resign after December edition was published. The reason? Because he felt that his presence was giving everybody a hard time. The Director would intentionally made decision that seemed ridiculous and revenge based, the team would get a hard time because of the decision and he ended up feeling guilty towards both sides. He finally understood that his existence in the company may not be the best thing; so he should just be a gentleman and admit defeat.

The elevator opened on the 14th floor, he was still in his own world thinking about what to say in the resignation letter. There were only a few people on the creative floor, who he felt were looking at him sympathetically. He nodded to greet them, they nervously bowed. Yong Hwa felt a strange vibe but was to preoccupied to investigate further. He just went straight to his office.

He took a piece of paper and a white envelope, wrote "RESIGNATION LETTER" on one side of it. His heart felt so heavy, he liked working there and no matter hard the time he had with her, leaving her was still the last thing he wanted to do. He had to re-convinced himself several times that it was the best thing to do.

After a long while staring at the blank piece of paper, Yong hwa began to write. Occasionally paused to think what to write next; in between the pause he looked at the glass window that separated his office with the rest of the floor. It was already full of people, and they gathered in small packs, discussing something that looked like a matter of life and death. Yong Hwa intended to finish his letter before going out to investigate the commotion.

He was just about to sign the letter when suddenly his door was opened abruptly, he jolted in surprise when a silky, shinny 100-ish pages book slammed onto his desk. He looked up and saw his Fashion Editor, her face was red, she was panting, she looked furious. He then diverted his attention to the thing she was trying to show him. He looked at it more carefully now and slowly widen his eyes.

The magazine from their competitor had light blue/greyish nuance, the cover showed two beautiful models in houte couture playing in an obvious fake snow beside an obvious fake snowman. He stopped breathing when he read the large font on the below part of the cover: "Winter Wonderland".

"What the h...!!!!" he exclaimed.

He abruptly opened the rest of the magazine and gaped even more, the content was awfully similar to what they made. It was not the same but the title of the articles were mostly re-phrased from what they had prepared for the December edition. 

"Hyo Rin-a!! What happened?" he asked in panic.

Hyo Rin shook her head, "I don't know, this is the new issue of Belle Magazine. My guess is that the Director knew about a leakage and hence told us to re-do everything. But backfired as they used the latest theme that we made." Hyo Rin looked devastated by her own theory.

Yong Hwa pondered for awhile and suddenly ran outside of his office. "Aish!!" he exclaimed. He could never seem to catch a break. 

The people on the creative floor looked at the direction of the Creative Director's office when the door was opened abruptly. Their leader came out running with worried look all over his face. They saw him stepped into the emergency stair case and heaved a sad sigh knowing where he went; they were devastated that their hard work went down the drain. By tomorrow, Femme magazine would issue an edition that was similar to its competitor. Needless to say, their sales would free-falled even further, not to mention getting the scandal of imitating others. It did not matter who copied who, the first one to issue would always be the winner.

Yong Hwa stomped all the way to the Director's office, the 15th floor was generally quiet as they had not noticed the issue yet. The secretarial area was empty, he wondered whether they already knew what was currently happening. Since the secretary was not available, Yong Hwa let himself into the Director office, opening the door rather rashly due to his anger. There were already three men aside the Director herself inside the room, Chairman Park, Secretary Choi and his arch nemesis who was looking at him with enigmatically. All four of them looked at him instantly.

"Director Park! What happened? What kind of mess is this?" Yong Hwa exclaimed, he put the Belle Magazine rudely on the desk.

Chairman Park and Shi Hoo who did not seem to understand the issue approached the desk, Chairman Park took the magazine and browsed through it, he still could not understand what the commotion was all about.

"Did you get tricked? Is this why you told us to re-do the whole thing?! Now what? Instead of saving us, you lead us all the way to the lion's den!!" Yong Hwa shouted.

"Creative Director Jung! Calm down, what happened?" Secretary Choi was voicing the other men's mind.

Yong Hwa heaved a sigh, "She told us to change the theme at last minute into "Winter Wonderland", the team worked their off for a week to get it done. Now!!?" he took the Belle Magazine and rashly pointed it to show everybody in the room; then he threw the magazine back to the desk with a loud grunt.

Chairman Park widen his eyes, "Shin Hye-ya! You mean we are going to issue the same thing as Belle tomorrow?" all men turned to her.

The woman of the hour just sat on her desk, looking serious but calm. She was sitting on her chair all morning waiting for the ruckus to happen, so when it did happen, she was prepared and just listened to the outburst of people. "Calm down, gentlemen. I'm still waiting for two more persons, then we can start the discussion."

"Director Park, I hope you have a good contingency plan, otherwise we're doom!" Yong Hwa yelled in frustration.

Shin Hye looked at him sadly but held on from being provoked by his challenged, she faintly heard sound from the secretarial area so she stood up to welcome two more of her guests that morning. Her gestures attracted the attention of the men. The door opened, Lee Kwang Soo and Kang Min Hyuk marched in like two very nerdy bodyguards.

"Kwang Soo-shi, how did it go?" Shin Hye asked her sunbae expectantly.

"Everything is as planned, we managed to finish the "bestfriend" mock up, and we are in the printing process as we speak." He replied with a faint smile although with untidy appearance, he looked like he did not sleep for the entire night.

Yong Hwa turned to the tall man in confusion. "Great!" Shin Hye nodded, "You've worked hard sunbae. Please make sure this does not leak outside of printing department."

"Deh, Director! I'll be going now!" He said while bowing to all the leaders of the company.

"Sughohasaeyo, Kwang Soo sunbae!" Shin Hye said gratefully to the man, he smiled warmly before leaving the room. The banter did not go unnoticed by Yong Hwa, he felt the familiar envy feeling when he saw someone had a friendly banter with that girl.

"What does this all mean, Director Park? Are you running the 'bestfriend' theme?" he asked.

"Yes!" Shin Hye answered firmly, shivers ran down Yong Hwa's spine. "I got a tip that Belle often had similar theme with us previously, and knowing Kang So Ra, I tend to believe it." she started the explanation.

"What about Kang So Ra?" Shi Hoo asked.

Shin Hye smirked, "We went to highschool together, we were quite close back then. Let's just say I am not surprise if she pulled this kind of stunt." she answered vaguely.

"Kang Min Hyuk-shi here helped to investigate, and we found out that there are someone in the company who have been leaking our material to a mysterious email." Shin Hye continued, Yong Hwa turned to his bestfriend who gave him a slight humble smile.

"The email was camouflaged with online advertisement so in a glance it doesn't look suspicious, it's some kind of a diversion." Min Hyuk added to defend his department for not finding it out sooner. "Luckily we found out the real content of the email." he said.

Shin Hye scoffed, "He's just being modest, luck has nothing to do with this." Min Hyuk face went red from the praise, "Anyway! since this guy used the diversion strategy, we decided to do the same. We created a diversion for him, thus the new theme WINTER WONDERLAND" she stared at Yong Hwa sharply, he could only gazed at her briefly as he was embarrassed by his action throughout the week. "But I do have to admit! I gambled a bit, I told Kwang Soo-shi to run the bestfriend theme hoping that Belle would take the bait. Fortunately they did. Now THAT was luck, Min Hyuk-shi." she smiled to the younger friend.

"So! Did you find out who leaked our material to Belle?" Chairman Park said in fury, he did not believe that someone would actually steal ideas from others. During his era people were doing their job in dignity and integrity. Everybody turned to Min Hyuk expectantly.

"I think we have a suspect." he said, Shin Hye lit up from the news. "You're right Director Park. It's someone from IT. His name is Kim Min Jae and he had been with us for two years. I'm gathering the whole department and will detain him. What do you want to do with him?" he asked. Min Hyuk was by nature a peace lover who hated confrontation, but this time the matter was so infuriation that he could not just stood by and did nothing. He needed to set things straight in that department.

"That's why I call you here Chairman Park. I'm suing Belle magazine and this person. Please approve!" Shin Hye answered in a determined tone, the men all turned to look at her in surprise. "Once Kang Min Hyuk-shi capture the culprit, I'm taking them to the police."

"Do you even have proof to such accusation?" Shi Hoo shrieked, Yong Hwa looked at the guy, puzzled by his negative reaction.

"We have the recipient email, I'm sure if they traced it, it will lead to Kang So Ra or Belle." Shin Hye defended.  "And I know it's not a crime to send emails or information like that, but being discreet is one of the clauses in the employment agreement, so we have a good case to sue that person."

"Shin Hye-ya! Are you sure you want to make this even bigger?" Chairman Park said in concern, he hated the fact that people were disloyal, but scandal was the last thing Femme needed at that time.

"Harabeoji! We need to set examples, we have to show everybody in this company that we are not lenient to spies and traitors." Shin Hye half-shouted, surprised by her Grand father's reluctancy.

"Ahem! If I may suggest, Agashi!" Secretary Choi suddenly interrupted, "It's better to consult this with our lawyers and with the police. I could set up a meeting for you and our lawyers in the police station, you may also brought that person just to scare him a little bit. We don't want to roll out a case that we're not sure we'll win it."

Shin Hye begrudgingly looked at Min Hyuk for an input, which trigger another jolt of jealousy in Yong Hwa; he wanted to be the one she turned to for encouragement or support. Min Hyuk nodded in agreement to Secretary Choi's advice. "Let's go once we get the guy. I'll let you know at the soonest, Director Park." he said calmly.

She let out a defeated sigh, "Arasso! Secretary Choi, please help in contacting the authorities." Shin Hye told the older man.

He smiled to give her encouragement, "Deh! Agashi. Chairman, we have to go now, you're late for your next appointment." Secretary Choi said to his boss, he left the room once Chairman told him to go first.

Park Geun Hyung approached his grand daughter, he had an urge to hug her since Yong Hwa told him about the problem. He knew she was having a hard time but he was proud that she withstood and strong enough to face all the problem. As hard as it was for a parent to see their children in hardships, it was satisfying to know that they managed to go through them and grew to become a great person. Just like she did.

"You've worked hard, Shin Hye-ya!" he whispered to her ears while hugging the girl tightly, she hugged him back holding on her tears. He pulled out and put both of his hands on her cheek, "Go take the rest of the day off. You deserved it."

Shin Hye smiled weakly, "Thank you Harabeoji!" he squeezed her hand before walking out of the office.

Three men left in the room who was still waiting to be dismissed by the Director. "Director Park, what happened? The Bestfriend mock up was not finished, how could you run them?" Yong Hwa asked, he was calmer now.

"You should thank the Printing Department, they stayed up all night perfecting the mock ups. So, please forgive them if its not up to your standard. It's the best we can do in such a short of time." Shin Hye said, accidentally said 'we' instead of 'them'. An exhausted sigh escaped from her, "Can you all please leave now? I need sometime alone."

Yong Hwa froze, embarassement washed over him. All the rude things he did, all the harsh words he said and all the bad things he thought of her were all just him; she was nothing but thinking about the company. She was right, he was full of himself; he did acted as if the world revolved only about him. Yong Hwa stared at her for a long while, wanted to say something. But like every other time, he chickened out and decided to just left her as she requested.

"Jung Yong Hwa-shi." he was stunned to hear her calling his name, he turned around and suddenly felt the butterflies in his stomach when he saw her smiling ever so sweetly. "Congratulations on your first Femme Edition. Hopefully it won't be the last like you said." her lips was smiling but her eyes exuded sadness. 

Yong Hwa gulped, he had troubled speaking as there seemed to be a large lump inside his throat. So he just bowed and staggered all the way out of the Director's office area where Min Hyuk was still standing.

"Gwenchanayo, Hyung? You look nauseated." he looked at his Hyung worriedly.

"Min Hyuk-a! Why didn't you punch me in the face when I was being an ?!" he said without looking at his friend.

"I was about to, but I didn't want to hurt my boss even further." the comment got Yong Hwa's attention. "Do you know why she did the diversion strategy? Because she wanted to save your creation, the new creative team's work. She didn't want people to steal them." the news did not make Yong Hwa felt any better, if any it made him felt worse. "You guys love each other, stop hurting one another!" Min Hyuk pat his friend arm and left, he still had an unfinished business with his department.

Yong Hwa stood in front of the office a little longer to calm the storm inside him, he then went back to his floor already awaited by his team in the meeting room who looked very worried. The minute he closed the door, they looked at him expectantly. His troubled face had them even more worried. But once he began the story, the expressions of the people turned as fast as the stock price changed, from worried and desperation to surprise and disbelief ended with loud cheers and relief faces. Yong Hwa giggled seeing them being so happy, it warmth his heart so much.

And as he strolled back to his office he saw the printing department was bustling as it was the time of the month when they were the busiest. He smiled and grabbed his phone to call the nearest Chinese food. A lunch delivery should be enough to start the series of gratitude gift towards the Department from him.

---o0o---

The rumor about the similarity of the upcoming Femme edition with Belle's latest edition spread like wildfire, by lunch the whole building was already buzzing with the news. The only thing they did not know was the fact that it was all just a diversion and that the real edition would be very different than Belle's. Shin Hye made a clear instruction to the Printing Department and Creative Core Team to be discreet about it. She wanted to surprise their competitor. 

So when Yong Hwa stepped into the cafeteria with his friend Seung Ho, he felt hundreds pairs of eyes were on him, looking at him sympathetically; some even threw words of encouragement at him. He just smiled and said his gratitude towards their kindness. They took a seat at one of the booth as Min Hyuk promised to join them after he was back from the police station. They were actually expecting him to update them about his trip to the authorities.

They were half way into lunch when Min Hyuk plodded on a chair beside Seung Ho. Both men looked at him expectantly while waiting for him to catch his breath, he ignorantly took Seung Ho's bottle of water and finish it. Seung Ho made a face and went to the counter to get another drink. 

"How did it go?" Yong Hwa asked impatiently.

Min Hyuk shrugged, "We've reported both Kim Min Jae and the recipient 'bbblue', we'll see whether they could trace it back to Kang So Ra or Belle." Min Hyuk answered while looking around to find something to eat. He accidentally saw his Hyung scanned the room as if looking for someone, "She went straight to the office, I don't think she will have lunch here." he said.

Yong Hwa was taken aback by Min Hyuk's guess, he scoffed for having caught looking for their Director. "How is she?" he asked.

Min Hyuk shrugged, "Good I guess, everything went according her plan and she looked content for being able to caught the spy." he paused to see Yong Hwa's reaction. "But you know how deceitful she can be... in a good way!" he added, Yong Hwa smiled weakly agreeing to his opinion.

"Yaaah! Everybody is buzzing about you Min Hyuk-a. Rumor has it, you looked so cool when capturing that Kim Min Jae guy!" Seung Ho exclaimed while bringing two bottles of water, he gave one to Min Hyuk. "I wish someone would record the minute you shouted to the whole IT team and presented the evidence of the guy's betrayal. I guess you show them who's the boss, ey!?" he praise-teased his bestfriend.

Yong Hwa grinned at the maknae's remark, "Gu rae, Min Hyuk-a! Charesso! I'm sure they'll treat you better now, you've proven yourself as the better hacker of them all." 

Min Hyuk laughed shyly, he actually was also hoping his days in the new department would be better after this. He stopped laughing when he saw someone familiar. "Hyung!!" he called, slightly glanced at the other friend beside him. "You finished lunch?' he asked to Il Woo. Yong Hwa fidgeted and glowered at him.

Il Woo stunned when Min Hyuk called. Both Min Hyuk and Seung Ho were always nice to him but they were too considerate to Yong Hwa to greet him when he was around. So when Il Woo saw the ex-bestfriend was sitting next to Min Hyuk, he knew the young friend was trying out something. "O! I'm very busy today, because of you!" he pretended to sulk.

Min Hyuk's grin grew wider, "Wae?!" he asked innocently.

"Because of you I need to process someone's dismissal. Do you know how bothersome that is??! You try tell someone that they're fired." he scolded the younger friend. Min Hyuk laughed awkwardly, he could sense someone was uncomfortable by his action. "Kan da!" Il Woo said sensing that his presence was unwanted.

"Hyung! When are you going to make up with Il Woo Hyung? Don't you think it's been too long?" Seung Ho scolded his friend.

Yong Hwa scoffed, "I'll start befriending him if I got back together with Shin Hye again." he said cynically.

Seung Ho pretended to think hard, "I guess you'll never be friends with him again, then!" he raised both arms as if surrendering to something.

"Mwo!!?" Yong Hwa exclaimed, reaching for the water bottle and pretended to throw the water at the maknae, the said friend dodge in fear. Yong Hwa suddenly felt his phone buzzed, he frowned after he toot and looked at the caller ID. "Yobuseyo? Yes, this is he." he said curiously, "Can I help you with somethingopp[[[[[[[[['p?" he looked very serious.

Min Hyuk observed Yong Hwa's face and was intrigued by his seriousness; while Seung Ho's attention were attracted to the news on TV near them. When he finished with his call, Yong Hwa was in a daze, he looked at his phone as if it was going to blow up.

"Hyung! Something wrong?!" Min Hyuk asked in concern.

"Waah!! Daebak! Hyung look at that!" Seung Ho pointed at the TV, bothe men followed his lead. Entertainment news was on and it was reporting the latest celebrity scandal. A picture of one of the most famous supermodel currently was shown. The cafeteria was so loud so they could not really hear the content of the news, but the caption said it all.

​

Lee Ha Nui and her secret boyfried - actor Yoon, drunkenly wrecked a bar.

Yong Hwa briefly glanced at the news and strangely was not surprised by it, with her nasty character it was only time that she would get into trouble like that. He suddenly stood up even though his lunch was far from finished. "Min Hyuk-a, Seung Ho-ya! Biyane, I gotta go... I have an appointment with someone." he said hurriedly and left without hearing their responses. The mysterious caller had him intrigued that he could not wait to meet the person.

---o0o---

Shin Hye stepped out of the elevator yawning, for the umpteenth time in a couple of months she pulled an all nighter, this time to help the printing department finalising the mock up for December edition. She stayed in the office the whole night and went straight to work. It was yet again another exhausting day at the office for her, she wondered whether she would have a normal working days someday.

She intentionally went straight to the office instead of having lunch like Min Hyuk, hoping to snooze a little during the lunch hour. Closing her eyes was more critical than fulfilling her nutrition. The 15th floor was deserted as it was lunch hour, only a few people were seen in front of their computer - browsing the internet - and ate their lunch at the same time. She loved the office when it was quiet, and since it was a rare chance, she silently enjoyed her walk back to her office.

Shin Hye opened the large door that led to the secretarial area of the Director's office. She saw her secretary was on the phone looking very serious. He even stopped her from walking straight to her office, so she waited in front of his desk, starting to feel restless with the serious tone of his voice talking to a man on the other side of the line.

Shi Hoo put the receiver back on the phone and stood up, "We have a problem, Shin Hye-ya!" he said alarmed.

Shin Hye felt her heart dropped to her stomach at the word 'problem', it was actually the last thing she wanted to hear. "What's wrong, Oppa?"

"The delivery company is on strike, they don't have anyone to pick up our copies today." Shi Hoo explained.

"Until when is the strike? Our copies don't need to be transported until tomorrow, right?" Shin Hye asked, her heart started to race.

"No! Tomorrow is the issued date which mean the copies need to picked up today. The first shipment should be in a few hours!" Shi Hoo said in panic.

Shin Hye gasped, he was right. In order to sell all the copies around the country at the same time, the ones that were going to be sold in remote places had to be transported earlier while the rest would be loaded by midnight. "Oppa, let's go to Delivery! Now!" she shouted. Shi Hoo nodded in agreement and they both dashed to the said department which was located on the third floor of that building.

Once they arrived in the department, they could feel the tension in the air. The Delivery department served not only for Femme, it handled the distribution for every printed media under Star Media wing. So if Femme's delivery was in jeopardy of being delayed, it was possible that other media was also on the verge of lateness in its issue date. Shin Hye and Shi Hoo ran to find Mr. Cha Seung Won, the team leader who handled Femme's distribution. The said man was surrounded by three girls who was busy with their phones.

"Team Leader Cha! What happen? We came to help!" Shin Hye exclaimed, the older man saw her and immediately shook her hand to greet her.

"O, Director Park! I just got the news, the trucking company that we used is on strike until unknown time. So we need to find a replacement fast to catch this afternoon loading." he explained.

"Don't we have a backup?" she asked a common-sense questioned.

"Unfortunately we don't." Cha Seung Won shook his head sympathetically.

"Mwo!!? How could that be?" Shin Hye exclaimed in surprise. "Why are they on strike? What's their demand?" 

"A raise and additional day off." Cha Seung Won replied while reading a paper given by his subordinate, "Anyway it's not a demand to us, it's their internal problem."

Shin Hye frowned, she knew what it meant if they failed to load the copies that afternoon. "It's their responsibility then! They should provide us with a replacement. Moreover, why did they let us know about this in such a critical time. They knew we have a fix schedule every month!" Shin Hye was starting to shout in panic.

"Yes, they are actually working hard to find a replacement for us." the older man said, "I'm just taking initiatives to find one ourselves." he added.

Shin Hye fell silent, her mind was thinking fast to find a solution. They were three hours away from the first pick up schedule so they needed to work fast to find trucks and drivers to do it. "Andwe Getta! Oppa, grabbed a phone. Let's help them!" Shin Hye cried eventually. She reached out her palm asking for the sheets that was handled by the girls, Cha Seung Won hesitated for awhile but then handed a few of the paper so the leader of the company and her secretary could help them.

Shin Hye and Shi Hoo hurriedly find an available phone and started to call every single trucking company on the list, but as expected all the company declined to do it as it was a short notice and they had other schedule to keep. After the tenth failed call, Shin Hye looked up from the list and looked at Cha Seung Won, he immediately shook his head indicating a failure at his side too. Shin Hye blinked several times, her head was getting dizzy from the panic and was on the verge of getting an anxiety. It did not help that she was actually suffering from sleep deprivation.

She stood up and paced back and forth, Shi Hoo and Seung Won looked at her in concern; they too were in panic mode because they were running out of time. "Okay! Let's step back for a minute. Let's find other solution." Shin Hye said more to herself though loud enough to be heard by the gentleman. "So we usually need 10 big trucks in total to deliver all of our copies to the distribution center on each district. How many districts that had the longest distant from our printing warehouse?" she asked Seung Won.

"Three! To go to the south." Seung Won said.

"Planes! How about we air shipped them?!" Shi Hoo suddenly cried. Shin Hye and Team Leader Cha looked at him simultaneously.

"I don't think so, that would be too expensive." The older man said hesitantly, though he was clearly contemplating the idea.

"Oppa! Check with Sales and Marketing, what is the historical minimum volume for the three districts. Let's airshipped the minimum value." Shin Hye asked her secretary.

"Arasso!" Shi Hoo immediately went to the phone to do her instruction.

"Director! Are you sure? That would cost us a fortune!" Team Leader Cha argued.

"I don't care, we need to save this month sales. We could backcharged it to the trucking company, for all I care!" Shin Hye countered. "Actually! Let's do that! Team Leader Cha! Please negotiate with them, they have to take responsibilities in this. They notified us in last minute and may cost us our sales. They have to bear the air shipment."

The older man nodded in agreement, "I agree, let's do that. Keunde Chairman, we still need trucks to deliver from the warehouse to the airport." he checked the list that he was holding, "Every trucking company in the industry is full book." he said.

"Every truck in the industry..." Shin Hye repeated, "In the industry..." she mumbled while biting her lower lips nervously. "Check trucking company that's used by other industry! Hotel, Restaurant! There had to be something... anything... we only need smaller trucks now to deliver to Incheon." Shin Hye ordered. 

Cha Seung Won looked at his staffs and nodded in agreement, they instantly turned to their computer to start the research. Shin Hye was still pacing back and forth when she suddenly remembered something; which made her ran to the elevator to get to 14th floor. "Team Leader Cha, call me if you find anything! And keep working to get the truck for tonight!" she shouted leaving the team leader perplexed.

Shin Hye hurriedly came out of the elevator feeling annoyed by her 10 cm pumps, without hesitation she took of the shoes in front of the elevator and ran to the Fashion Department. The people that was returning from lunch looked at her in confusion, they looked at each other wondering why the number one person in their company was running like crazy on bare feet.

"Soo Jung-a! Soo Jung-a!" Shin Hye cried when she entered the Fashion Department are, which attracted the attendtion of all the people inside; even Hyo Rin looked up from her mannequin to see the source of the loud voice.

"Deh! Director?" Soo Jung jumped when her name was called.

"Call your mother for me!" Shin Hye gave Soo Jung her phone.

"Deh?" Soo Jung froze in confusion.

"Palli!!!" Shin Hye shouted. Soo Jung snapped back to reality, instantly reached for the phone and dialled her mother's number. Once it was connected she gave it back to Shin Hye. "Yobuseyo, Deh Eommoni, This is Shin Hye... I mean.. In Ha.. Um.." Shin Hye did not know how to address herself.

"She knows who you are." Soo Jung interrupted, Shin Hye stunned for a moment but she did not have time to be shy about it.

"Eommoni! Can I ask you something? As a restaurant, do you have a regular supplier that delivers ingredients to you?" Soo Jung listened to the conversation trying to figure out what was currently happening, "Does he usually only deliver their commodity or is it a delivery service?" Shin Hye listened intently to the answer from Kim Mi Kyung; at one point she lit up and almost smiled, "Arasso! I'll go there now! Thank you, Ommoni!" she hung up the phone and turned to Soo Jung, "Soo Jung-a please contact my driver and have a car ready in the lobby now."

Soo Jung nodded vigorously, she did not know why she felt anxious with the older girl when she did not even know what the problem was. A man came in to the area carrying Shin Hye's black pump and shouted angrily. "Yaaa!! Which one of you left this thing in front of the elevator? Biechoso!!?" 

Shin Hye went pass him and took the shoes from his hand, "That's mine, thank you!" she said without stopping. The man froze realizing that he just scolded their director. 

She went straight to her office still in her bare feet, took out a sneaker from the closet and wore it. Minutes later Shi Hoo bursted inside looking as tensed as she was. "I arranged the air shipment fo the three districts, where are you going?" he asked.

"Oppa come with me, let's go get a truck!" she grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the office all the way to the building lobby. 

Shin Hye ran to the driver's seat and drove the car speedily forgetting the fact that she had a personal driver. Shi Hoo held on to the handle and looked at her in fear, she was driving like she was possessed by the ghost of a racer. He looked at his surrounding and wondered where she was taking him. They finally stopped in an unfamiliar neighbourhood in front of a restaurant called "Sunflower"

Shin Hye stepped out of the car and ran inside the restaurant, bumped into Ye Jin on the way; they looked at each other in surprise since they did not expect that they would ran into each other that day. "Shin Hye-ya!?" Ye Jin called forgetting that they were not on friendly terms, she was shocked to see Shin Hye in a fancy dress but looked very messy.

"Eonni!?" Shin Hye replied, but then she remembered that she was there on a mission. So when she saw Kim Mi Kyung, she instantly went to get her. "Eommoni!"

"Deh! Agashi, this is the guy that usually delivers my ingredient." Luckily the guy was delivering to Sunflower when Shin Hye called.

"Deh! Annyeonghaseyo, Ahjussi! Do you have a light truck that we can use to transport about 10 m3 of something? We need it to transport magazines from our warehouse to Incheon." Shin Hye asked the old man.

"I see...! All of my trucks are for vegetables, poultry or meat, so I don't think it could be used to transport your goods." Shin Hye was disappointed by the man's answer, "But let me make a few calls, I think I can help you." the man said while taking out his phone, he went to the corner of the restaurant to make some phone calls.

Shin Hye waited for the old man anxiously, her hands clasped together to ease her nerve. The man was still making the call when her phone rang, Kwang Soo's name was on the screen. "Director! I just heard! The first batch of copies are ready to be shipped, what should we do?"

"We're going to ship a minimum value for the three furthest district, please have people in the warehouse to prepare it. I'm still working on to get a truck to pick it up. The air shipment has been arranged. Meanwhile team leader Cha's team is still looking for replacement truck for midnight, please coordinate directly with him." Shin Hye explained, "Once I get the truck, I'll go straight to our warehouse." Shin Hye saw the old man waved at her to get her attention. "Sunbae, I gotta go! Please coordinate with Team Leader Cha." Shin Hye hung up without hearing his response.

"Agashi! I have a friend that just opened a trucking company business. He still doesn't have a lot of customer, so he has three available trucks right now." the man said.

Shin Hye gasped, she turned to Shi Hoo who lit up just like her. "Cheong Mal!! Kamsahamnida Ahjushi! I think two trucks are enough for us. So where is the trucking company? Should we go there now?"

"Keunde Agashi, there is only one driver, the other one is heading back from his hometown. He is now at Seoul main train station." The man said.

"Oh No! That would take extra time with the traffic. We have a plane to catch!" Shi Hoo said.

"Aarrgghh!!" Shin Hye shouted to release her tension, Kim Mi Kyung and Ye Jin who were watching the banter from a corner jumped seeing the supposedly sweet girl roared.  Shin Hye took a deep breath and closed her eyes for awhile, suddenly she snapped her finger. "Oppa! Don't you have truck driving license? You used to take a part time job at Samchoon's refinery as the driver, right?" Shi Hoo widen his eyes in realisation. "Let's split up, I'll go to the train station to pick up the driver, you go to the trucking company to get truck. We'll meet at the warehouse!" Shin Hye exclaimed.

"Good plan! I'll see you there!" Shi Hoo agreed, he asked the old man to guide him to the trucking company while Shin Hye dashed to the black sedan and sped to the Seoul Train Station.

The bell jingled from the top of the glass door when Yong Hwa opened it, he stepped into a fancy restaurant that he usually saw in the dramas. The dining area on the first floor was pack as it was still lunch time, but he knew he would not find the person he was going to meet there; the place was just too common for her. So he told the girl who greeted him the name of the person he was meeting. The girl lit up and suddenly got friendlier a little bit, any guest of the special private room required a better service.

She led him to the second floor where several private dining rooms were located, knocked on a door briefly and opened the sliding door without hearing the response from the people inside. Yong Hwa stepped into the room and saw her, as beautiful as the last time he saw her and as y as the reputation that preceded her. The table in front of her were already full of expensive dishes that one usually saw in advertisement. Yong Hwa did not know what the meeting was all about, but it already felt like a bribe.

She was drinking from a small porcelain cup when he entered, lit up instantly when she saw him and invited him to sit across her. Yong Hwa sat cross-legged in front of the low table, back straight up as if meeting a president. To him she was not as important, he was just surprised at her sudden invitation and was alarmed by the objective of the meeting.

"Welcome! Thank you for coming in short notice!" Kang So Ra said, her full red lips formed into a smile. "I hope you don't mind I took the liberty to order first." she said.

Yong Hwa smiled cheekily, "Nope! I wouldn't know what to order, either. Everything looks tasty and um... expensive!" Yong Hwa looked at the table and saw the head of a fish looking straight at him with its mouth opened, he knew it was supposed to be a high class food decoration, but to him it was just creepy.

Kang So Ra giggled, "Anieyo! I just didn't know what you like, so I ordered everything that I know it's tasty." he thought the giggle must had been her ultimate weapon against men.

"That's so thoughtful of you!" Yong Hwa said with an alluring smile, he wanted to be on the same level as her.

"Come! Eat! I'm sure you're hungry... it's almost past lunch time!" she said, Yong Hwa nodded and picked up the porcelain glass in front of him, chugged in the green tea in one shot. "So, do you like working for Shin Hye?" Yong Hwa almost choked on his tea, he gaped at her for her bluntness. "What!? Am I being to obvious?" she chuckled. Yong Hwa got to admit, the chuckled stirred something in him.

"Why do you want to know?" Yong Hwa tried to calm down the naughty male instinct inside him.

"It's hard, isn't it? I heard that you often had quarrels with her." the flirtatious smile was still there, "She was always so violent during Highschool, I can't believe seven years did not change a person one bit." she added.

Yong Hwa was intrigued by that last bit of information, "That's right? You were her high school best friend. How was she back then?" he wanted to know what teenage Shin Hye was like, a personal need.

She wagged one of her palm and giggled, "Well! I wouldn't say 'bestfriend', but yeah! We were in the same class throughout highschool and sat next to each other during senior year. I was a bit of a party girl and she was the sporty, diligent type and had a tendency to be violent. She was super smart so she helped me alot with the subject." she said.

Yong Hwa smiled, she was right, Shin Hye did not change at all. "Violent?" he asked further.

"Yes! She could be loud when she fought with boys, she liked to pinch and punch them when she got annoyed. But when it comes to the boy she liked, she became completely shy." Yep! They were talking about the same girl. "How is she right now?" she asked while picking up something from the dead fish plate with her chopstick.

"Pretty much the same, not really shy anymore." he nodded several times. "So she helped you a lot, ey?" Yong Hwa wanted to know more about their relationships.

She giggled reminisced her teenage days. "Yeah! It's not something I should be proud of, but I partied a lot back then, she um... helped me alot with my homework and assignment, she loved to write, you know!" Yong Hwa picked up a nervous tone behind the confidence. "Did she tell you about the boy she had a crush on?" she said excitedly.

Yong Hwa smiled mischievously, "No! We don't have the kind of relationship to share about past romance." he made a mental note to about it if their relationships ever got better, "Tell me!" he just couldn't help it.

"Well! He was a year older than us, used to be the prince in our school since he was from the richest family in Korea." somehow it made Yong Hwa bitter, "But she was so shy and became a mouse whenever he was around, she just silently watch him during basketball match." Yong Hwa smiled imagining the tomboy Shin Hye became shy in front of boy, that would had been very cute. "I felt bad towards her, so I intended to play cupid. You know! She helped me alot with my school, I wanted for her to at least experienced her first love." So Ra said, she was very animated with her speech.

Yong Hwa smiled bitterly at the word 'first love', he silently scoffed at himself for being jealous to Shin Hye's past love. "So, they eventually dated?" he knew he would hate the answer.

"Unfortunately, he wasn't interested." So Ra squinted in sympathy, "But the thing that I felt bad most about, was because I got close with him instead. I think Shin Hye was so mad, she stopped talking to me. The last time I spoke to her was during her parents funeral." she scooped a mouthful of rice to .

"Gu Rae?!" Yong Hwa smiled, feeling slightly bad for being happy that Shin Hye did not dated her first love. He picked up the tea pot to pour it to his cup, So Ra hurriedly took the pot and poured it for him. "Thank you!" he said, "So! why did you want to meet me?" Yong Hwa finally asked the million dollar question.

So Ra gave him her murderous smile, "I'm just curious, how is it to work for her. I could imagine it would be hard. She was always a bit of a dictator when it comes to work, and she could be very demanding and annoying when she wants something." she said.

Yong Hwa nodded in agreement, "Yes! It's hard!" because he needed extra effort to focus on t
