Staff at the marketing department are busy with their work as usual. Same as the others, Irene is also doing her task diligently. She is in the middle of discussion with her teammates when a voice that very familiar echo the entire space

“Irene Bae”

Everyone, including Irene, turns their attention to the voice owner. She is unfamiliar to others but very familiar to Irene. That person is no other than Krystal Jung. Entire staff in the marketing department are currently looking at her and wondering who on earth she is. They could tell that her presence brings a negative aura. Her appearance itself already showing that she is arrogant person

“Krystal Jung, what are you doing here?” Irene asking coldly

Krystal stares at Irene with an evil smirk and arrogant gaze as she walks towards Irene “So you’re just a marketing staff here, huh? I thought you’re high rank staff since you bravely dating Seulgi”

“Do I need to be an executive staff member to date him?” Irene showing fearless gaze

“Well, at least it can make you deserve to date a successful businessman like him. You’re just a marketing staff” Krystal looking at Irene from head to toe “He dates you maybe because of your face. When he gets bored, he will surely dump you. Seulgi prefer a high standard woman”

“Do you think Kang Seulgi is as cheap as you are? He is not you, an air-headed woman and spoiled brat who will do anything just to make herself look good. I know how evil you are back then”

Krystal laughing “I know Seulgi and Seungwan told you about me. Do you think they are as good as they are now? Irene-ssi, you don’t know what I had done with Seulgi in the past”

Irene gritted her teeth and clench her fist. Krystal is very testing her patience “I don’t care about his past. I accept who he is now. Whatever happen between you and him is not bothering me at all”

“Wow, such an angelic woman, huh? No matter how much you make yourself a good woman for him, a poor woman like you doesn't deserve Kang Seulgi. Sooner or later he will leave you”

“So according to you, a rich woman like you is the one who deserves to be Kang Seulgi's wife, is it?”

This time it’s not Irene who is answering it. A gorgeous woman stand not far from Irene and Krystal giving sharp glare to the arrogant young woman

“Mrs. Choi?” Krystal shocked

Irene is not able to say a thing due to surprise seeing her mother show up suddenly. She shocked looking at her mom who walk closer to her and right now back up her from monster Jung

“Tiffany Hwang” say Irene’s mother

“What are you doing here, ma’am? Do you know this woman?” Krystal pointed her finger to Irene

“Don’t you dare pointing finger to my daughter” Mrs. Choi push Krystal hand away

Meanwhile, the staff was also shocked by the truth that they just discovered. They are currently talking about Irene’s mother visual and admit that both of them look alike. It strengthen the fact that the middle-age woman is Irene’s mother

“She is your daughter?” Krystal asks in disbelief “I thought you married with Mr. Choi of Youngsoo Group. Don’t back her up, ma’am. I know Mrs. Kang is your best friend but you don’t need to defend them to this extent. It such a lame move” Krystal chuckle mocking Mrs. Choi

“I don’t need to elaborate about my family history. I just hate the fact that you are humiliating my daughter in front of her colleague and saying nonsense things about her. I can file lawsuit against you for insulting and tarnish my daughter’s name”

“Well, you may do it. I don’t care” Krystal showing cocky smile

When Mrs. Choi was about to answer back, and Rose entered the scene “What happened here?”

“She is insulting and embarrassing Joohyun in front of her colleague” say Mrs. Choi

“Unnie, how could she sneak in and your bodyguard can’t catch her?”

“They…” Irene cut off by Krystal

“Well, money is over everything. Just fire your bodyguard. They are only wasting Seulgi’s money. They don’t care about your safety after all”

Rose turns to Krystal with anger in her eyes but the arrogant woman gives a provocative smile “Who is it this time? Irene’s sister?” Krystal asking Rose

“Maybe you don’t remember me but I never forget you as an evil spoiled brat. I hope you remember this name, I am Roseanne Park” Rose stated sternly

“Roseanne Park?”

“You don’t have to remember. One thing I want from you, stop disturbing Irene and Seulgi relationship. No matter what you do, you can’t separate them. A woman like you doesn't deserve a good man like Seulgi. I can take legal action against you if you still stubborn”

“Do you think that threat can shake me? You’re nothing against me. I am a lawyer just in case you don’t know”

Rose smirk “I may not be able to do anything but Youngmin Law Firm could do it. I think you know Attorney Park Minyoung, the owner of Youngmin Law Firm, right? Your father used to lose in 35 cases against her and you lost 12 cases including receiving humiliation for fabricating evidence to defend your clear-obvious client. My sister, Attorney Park Sunyoung, also won eight cases against you and recently you were also defeated by her. Do you want to get humiliated again this time because of your own fault?”

“I’ll make sure you can’t touch me” Krystal getting tense as she cornered by Rose and Mrs. Choi

“Money is over everything but it does not work on Youngmin. Youngmin Law Firm is clean from bribes and corruption. Just stay away from all of us. If you are still stubborn, I will not hesitate to prosecute you on allegation of contempt and tarnish name. You know the possible impact on your father’s law firm. Mark my words”

“Just leave Krystal Jung. Live your own life. Don’t mind other people's business. There are many other men that you can date. Just not Kang Seulgi” Mrs. Choi added

A group of women in suits run towards the commotion and grab Krystal's arm. She try to fight back to release herself but her strength is not match with them

“Let me go, you low class people!” Krystal try to release herself from the bodyguards grip

“Ms. Krystal Jung, please stay still and listen to our order” say the leader

“I don’t care! Let me go! I will sue you” Krystal fuming

“Once again I order you to stay still and obey us. You trespassed in a prohibited area for you. We have rights to Taser you and drag you out of this building. You are instructed to walk out on your own or we carry you in unconscious condition” Chorong pointed a Taser gun to Krystal making her stop moving. Everyone amazed seeing Chorong charisma as she hold the gun and firmly give instruction to Krystal

“Your taser is not going to kill me!” Krystal response without fear

“If that won’t kill you, what about this?” Namjoo takes out a pistol from her holster underneath her blazer and points it to Krystal who is already frozen. The audience looked at her in amazement. They not expect she have gun

“I'm leaving now. Sooner or later, Kang Seulgi will surrender himself to me” say Krystal with evil smirk

Chorong signaled her member to Krystal out of the building. After that she give bow to Irene, her mom and Rose “Ma’am, I’m sorry for not able to come early and stop her from trespassing”

“It’s okay, you don’t mean to do that” say Irene

“Where are you guys going earlier?” Mrs. Choi asking

“We go to our agency because today is our last day working with them. Starting from tomorrow we will work under KS as permanent employees. Since male bodyguard went with CEO Kang, I asked security in the lobby to take over our work while we’re away. As soon as we noticed Ms. Jung's car outside, we quickly asked them. They don’t know about her arrival. We assumed that she would sneak in whether through emergency entrance or during patrol hour. I will check CCTV after this then will make report to Mr. Son”

“Don’t let him know right now. Just tell him after 3 PM. CEO Kang schedule end in 3 PM” say Irene

“Noted ma’am”

“Why not let Seulgi know immediately?” ask Mrs. Choi

“He will ditch his work and hunt Krystal if he know immediately”

“Okay then”

“You can go back to your work” Irene say to Chorong

“Okay ma’am”

“Eomma, Roseanne…let’s find vacant space to talk” say Irene

“Alright”

Before leaving, Irene apologized to her colleague for the chaos. They understand her and give her support. None of them take Krystal’s words seriously. They can see that Krystal is a bad person. No way have they believed her because everything she said is opposite to Irene’s attitude that they saw for years. Irene is happy that her colleague is not easily polluted by Krystal. She really worry if they misunderstand her and think that what Krystal said is right

……………..

“What are you doing here, eomma?” Irene asking her mother

“I have meetings around this area so I decided to drop by to visit you. I’m there ever since she start talking nonsense”

“Oh I see” Irene nods her head absentmindedly. This is their second meeting since they met at Kang mansion. It still feel awkward for both of them

“I got to go now, Hyun. Take care of yourself” say Mrs. Choi

“Okay eomma” her mother pats her shoulder softly before leaving her and Rose

After Mrs. Choi enters the elevator, Rose nudging Irene “Unnie, Aunty Tiffany is your mother?”

“Yes, she is my biological mother but we’re not together anymore”

“Oh I see”

“Do you know her? You sound so close to her?”

“Yes, I know her. We’re business colleagues. We used to work together for movies and dramas that JJ Production produced. Aigoo, the world is so small. I never knew that she was your mother. We just met this morning for new collaboration, you know” Rose chuckled

“I also don’t know that you are close to her. Krystal also seem like know her”

“Of course she is known by a lot of people. She is the wife of Chairman Choi. They are as popular as your parents-in-law. She is also well-known by many people in the industry even though rarely shows up as the producer. Aunty Tiffany closes herself from the public. Till now everyone was wondering about a figure with the pseudonym Tiffany Young. She come during event related to entertainment not as Tiffany Young but as Chairwoman of JJ Production”

“Maybe
