Ha Eun sighs in annoyance "When will this guy croak already?""Excuse me?" Chang Wook asked her. He didn"t really catch what she said. Ha Eun gets up from her seat and tells him to follow her because they have to talk to Seo Ah, the President of OG Group, for all her good work.
They go outside but before he follows her, he writes on his computer "The witch is on her broom." Everyone formed a group chat just to warn each other when the boss was coming. They walk down Yong Chul"s cubicle who seemed to be coming back from somewhere because he was standing. Ha Eun noticed how he had a huge coffee stain on his white shirt, and she scoffed.
"Hey, about that coffee" she says to Chang Wook. He gets closer to listen attentively "You really are pathetic" she says.
"I know" he answers.
When they arrive to Seo Ah"s office, she greets them with a warm smile but Ha Eun knows she doesn"t mean it. One thing she learned from when she was a child is how to read people and Seo Ah is as fake as they come.
"Seo Ah, good morning" Ha Eun says with a smile.
"Ah, our fearless master and her apprentice. What brings you here this morning?" she asks. Seo Ah knows very well that Ha Eun doesn"t like her, and she understand why, very well, she"s tried to steal her position for many years now, but Seo Ah thinks it isn"t without cause. She sees Ha Eun as a person that is destroying the company and that the board need someone who will work for this company and has a husband that supports her so there will be no rumors of her jumping around with men…
That just gave her an idea.
"I"m here to discuss an important matter with you" Ha Eun told her. Seo Ah nods "I called Will and he agreed to star in the drama "The Crown"s Destiny" as well as sign with us"
"That"s impossible, Will hasn"t starred in a drama in years" Seo Ah was surprised, and she had to give Ha Eun credit, she did what many other companies couldn"t do.
"You never called him, did you?" Ha Eun asked her. Seo Ah felt a bit cornered by Ha Eun"s question. Her cold stare was frightening but Seo Ah refused to look away or cower "I specifically asked you over a dozen times to contact him and get him to sign with us and do the drama, but you didn"t listen"
Chang Wook looked at their exchange of words, he wondered where this conversation was going.
"This is hard for me to say but Seo Ah, I"m letting you go" Ha Eun said. Chang Wook and Seo Ah were shocked by her words. He"s seen her fire people before, but he never thought she"d fire the President, such a capable woman and she fired her just like that.
"You have 30 days to find a new job and pack up all of your things. On your last day you can say you resigned" Ha Eun said.
"Oh no, stop spreading gasoline on the fire" Chang Wook wanted to tell Ha Eun.
"Have a great day" Ha Eun said with a smile.
Chang Wook widened his eyes "This woman is making a forest fire" he thought to himself. Ha Eun snapped her fingers and Chang Wook ran to the door and opened it for her. As they walk, Ha Eun tells him to look back.
"What"s she doing?" she asks him.
"She"s pacing back and forth" he answers.
"Does she have the crazy eye?"
"Oh yeah"
Ha Eun whispers to herself "Don"t do it Seo Ah" Chang Wook was close enough to hear her and he agreed.
"Don"t do it Seo Ah, don"t do it" he thought to himself.
"You sneaky, poisonous b.i.t.c.h!" Seo Ah yelled out loud, everyone in the room heard her. The clicking of the computer keys stopped, the talking over the phone secede and the birds stopped singing "You can"t fire me! You think I don"t know what you"re doing here? You"ve been breathing down my neck on this whole Will thing and then you do it just so you can look good in front of the board!"
Everyone is looking at both of the woman arguing, wondering who will win this discussion. Seo Ah wants a fight but Ha Eun doesn"t seem to be bothered at all "I know why you"re doing this! You know I am just as good at this job as you; I could even take over as CEO and you don"t want that to happen. You"re doing this because you feel threatened by me!"
Ha Eun looks away from her with a grin on her face, which makes Seo Ah even angrier.
"Your att.i.tude towards everything will just bring this company to its knees, if you can"t even hold onto a man, how can you hold onto your CEO seat. Just you watch, if I can"t take it, someone else will. And oh, I"ll be waiting for that day to come!"
Everyone in the room now waits for the witch to answer or if she"ll answer at all. Chang Wook sat down on Yong-Chul"s desk and stared at both of them, also wondering who will win. If Ha Eun walks away she"ll be considered soft and a loser, and many of the workers will lose some respect towards her, but if she does talk back, people will consider her even more of a witch. Either way, she won"t win.
"Seo Ah, I didn"t fire you because I feel threatened by you, I fired you because you are lazy, incompetent and you spend more time cheating on your husband than you do working. Now if you"ll excuse me, I have work to do"
Ha Eun turns back around and keeps on walking Chang Wook quickly gets up and follows her.
She has to meet the Chairman but she"s going back to her office.
