Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 151: Does the President Want to Order a Wedding Ring?

After Harper's shoot was over, Jeonghwan arranged for them to return in secret. Upon returning home, Jooeun and Kangjun reported to Sublime while Jeonghwan went directly to GK Entertainment to handle all the work he had accumulated over the past few days. While sitting in the office, a look appeared in his eyes. A thought had come to his mind. He immediately called Taejoo into the room.

"Yes, President?"

"Help me get in contact with Mr. Jerome Favier. I want to see him." Jeonghwan instructed while signing some documents.

(Jerome Favier is Damiani's current CEO.)

"Does the President want to order a wedding ring?" Taejoo guessed. Damiani was a classic jewelry brand originating from Italy. It had over 100 years of history and its designs had always been famous for being unique and precious.

"You could say that..." After saying these words, Jeonghwan lifted his head and warned Taejoo. "Watch what you say."

Taejoo smiled as he nodded his head and gestured that he would keep his mouth shut.

"However, even if you order it, Madam won't be able to wear it."

"That's not something for you to worry about."

Since he intended on ordering it, he definitely had a way to let Jooeun wear it without worries.

Meanwhile, Kangjun and Jooeun entered Sublime Artist Agency. Seeing the two walk in, all the staff looked at them weirdly. The two looked at each other without a word until they entered Yeji's office.

"You've worked hard Jooeun." Yeji stood up out of her seat, walked over to Jooeun, and patted her on the arm. "However, we can't stop now. For the Damiani commercial that is scheduled in a couple of days, Damiani has already sent over the details of the male celebrity you will be working with. It is the actor Nam Joohyuk. Jooeun, he is currently one of the most popular actors, you need to take advantage of this opportunity to gain exposure."

Jooeun grabbed the information from Yeji's hands and smiled slightly.

"I'm familiar with this actor. Even though he's only in his early 20's, he's already had scandals with multiple women." Kangjun said as he took the information from Jooeun's hands and furrowed his brows.

"Creating publicity for both of you, isn't that a good thing?" Yeji wasn't against the idea.

"But you obviously know Jooeun..."

Kangjun did not finish his sentence, he knew Yeji would be unhappy. She obviously knew Jooeun already had a lover, yet she still wanted her to create hype with this actor. Was this what Yeji meant by giving Jooeun the best resources?

"Then it's decided. I've organized a dinner tonight with Nam Joohyuk. You guys go home first and rest. After you've readjusted to the time difference, I'll see you for dinner at 8 PM."

Jooeun turned around and took a glance at Kangjun. She remained silent as usual. From an outsider's point of view, she appeared to be the type to just accept things without retaliation. But Kangjun knew she wasn't going to create hype. If that's what she wanted to do, then she wouldn't merely be an A-Grade model right now.

"President Seo, do you have no confidence in me?"

"Jooeun, you are already 29-years-old. If you don't hurry up, when will you achieve anything?" Yeji used her age as a point. "I'm doing this so things would be easier for you."

Jooeun's expression got colder. In fact, her gaze was piercing through Yeji.

"President Seo. . ."

"I know Jooeun, you have your own plans. But you need to trust me, this industry is dirtier than you think. No one would give up on such a great opportunity, including you." Yeji cut her off before she could say anything. She was using her identity as the CEO to pressure Jooeun.

Jooeun continued to stare at Yeji without a word. Suddenly, Kangjun butted in. "Yeji, although you are the president, I am still Jooeun's manager. If you carelessly make decisions for Jooeun, then what do you want me to do?"

Yeji looked at Kangjun with a complex look. When did the partner she had fought side-by-side with for so many years, turn his loyalty to someone else?

"Plus Jooeun's already suffered a lot in Moscow. Her body is not well, you should let her rest."

"Fine." Yeji controlled her emotions as she said to Jooeun, "You may go home with your assistant first. I still have things to discuss with Kangjun."

Kangjun looked at Jooeun, gesturing for her not to worry. Jooeun nodded as she turned around and left Yeji's office without turning back. She had no intention of sucking up to anyone whatsoever.

The office was suddenly left with just Yeji and Kangjun. The atmosphere was slightly awkward. However, Yeji couldn't help but release her anger. "You've only just started in your role and you are already defying my orders?"

Kangjun shook his head as he replied in a serious tone. "Yeji, if Jooeun wanted to create hype she would not have joined Sublime. Sublime has never done things like this, when did we start acting this way?"

Yeji's expression slowly changed.

"Plus, it clearly says in the contract that Jooeun has the right to reject any suggestions you give her. Have you forgotten? Since Jooeun is so tolerant, why must you pressure her?"

Yeji remained silent for a while. She eventually looked into Kangjun's eyes and said, "Kangjun, have you been tamed by Jooeun already?"

"I have not been tamed by anyone. It's just, you are no longer the same Yeji." Kangjun replied without yielding.

"Then who will attend the dinner tonight?"

"I will find a way to explain to Nam Joohyuk-ssi." Kangjun couldn't possibly let Jooeun attend. Otherwise, tomorrow, the news would be all over the place. At the same time, he also couldn't let Yeji lose her pride. After all, she was still the CEO.

Hearing this, Yeji's face warmed up a little. She eventually said a few words filled with meaning. "I'm suddenly regretting the decision to sign on Jooeun..."

"That's because you've realized Jooeun doesn't do everything as you say." After speaking, Kangjun stood up from the sofa. At this time, his heart was starting to feel a sense of disappointment. He didn't know when Sublime and Yeji had turned out this way.

After leaving the building, Jooeun waited for Kangjun at the entrance. The two understood each other just by looking into the other's eyes.

"I've made things difficult for you."

"You did nothing wrong. If you had compromised and attended the dinner tonight, then tomorrow, they would have pushed you to sell your body." Kangjun responded. "Jooeun, I know what you want. I will definitely do as you wish."

Jooeun sighed as she scoffed. "I originally thought there was still a place in this industry that wasn't dirty."

"There is, your husband's agency."

Kangjun winked at her. Jooeun laughed gently. "With my current status, it's still reasonable for me to fight against others on the same level. But if I go against Yeji like this, then from now on, I will only suffer."

"Since I am your manager, then no matter what happens, I am here." Kangjun promised. "All you need to do is walk your shows and shoot your magazines."

"Thank you."

"Have a good look through Damiani's information. You will need to do the commercial in 2 days' time." Kangjun placed his right hand into his pocket and said, "Meanwhile, I need to go deal with the spoilt womanizer, Nam Joohyuk-ssi."
