"Oh Unni...whay are you here?" Yi Seo asked her in her usual rude tone but served her the hot tea and biscuits. Her two rascals have been sent to their Grandma. She's planning a special date with Saeroyi tonight.

"No, I'm not here for Saeroyi. I should reach to you first, Yi Seo-ah" She sips the rose tea and keep it in her palm. This is so unnerving for her and she knows only Yi Seo would have the good input for this situation.

Looking at the serious Soo Ah, Yi Seo knows something is not right and its serious. And might as well involving IC Co.

"What is it, then? You can tell me." She straightened her back and ready to hear.

"Jang Geun Won. He's been released from prison." She looked at Yi Seo.

Yi Seo laughed until she cried but she maintains her serious expression.

"No, I'm not joking. He went to see me yesterday, seeking to be the interim chef at my bar." With this, Yi Seo stops her laugh abruptly. 'Shit is serious' is what's written on her face. Nodding, Soo Ah continues, "My question is, how did he managed to be released that fast? He's supposed to serve another 2 years at least."

Both of them were quiet. Yi Seo was seen to be deep in thought. Soo Ah could almost see the thinking gears is spinning inside that woman's head. She knew it she can count on Yi Seo for this matter.

"Hire him." What? Yes she already hired him, but thought Yi Seo would have a better suggestion. She woke up this morning feeling so bad that she has hired him.

Looking at her baffled facial expression, Yi Seo sighs and explain. "Wouldn't you have a better chance to gauge the information from him if he's close by?"

Ah....so the flow of thought for these gifted people are the same. Chairman Jang and Yi Seo, both are tenacious business strategists. She resigned with her fate having to face that devil every day after this.

"Unni...if its Jang Geun Won, you'll never face him alone. He have debts with me too." Yi Seo smirks as she holds Soo Ah's hand.

Touched, Soo Ah puts her teacup and started to smile. "Gumawo, Yi Seo-ya. By the way, where's those rascals? They don't want to meet their Pretty Aunty today?"

"Ah Unni... They're sent to my Mom. Ah...life as a mom is not easy~" Yi Seo suddenly showing her aegyo and sit beside her. Soo Ah laughed and pat Yi Seo's head.

It was hard for Yi Seo too. This time, she won't be the coward she was last 10 years ago. She knew someone is also cheering on her from France. Suddenly she really missed him.
