Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 77: Returning to the International Stage

Personal manager. This is Jooeun's wish and aim. Looking at Jeonghwan's tired expression, she gently massaged his shoulder. Feeling his tense muscles, her heart ached. She remembered she would need to fly to France in a couple of days, so she immediately reminded him. "In two days I will need to do a location shoot, would you like to come with me?"

"Where is it?"

"France. You've had so much work. I don't want you to be tired. Hwan, let's make a pact. Whenever I need to go to another country, you will come with me. Like this, anywhere with my presence, would also have your footprints."

Jeonghwan became silent for a moment. He had flown all over the world, but it had always been for work; never once did he think about stopping down and resting. Accompanying Jooeun meant he would be able to relax and have a break. Most importantly, Jooeun is the most beautiful scenery. Just the thought of being able to stay by her side and take care of her is a beautiful thing, so he nodded.

"As you wish. I'll get Taejoo to make arrangements."

Jooeun is satisfied as she turned her attention back to Sublime Artist Agency's profile. No matter if it Is for Jeonghwan or herself, she's going to use all she had to fight for this opportunity.

A few days after the incident with Jung Ryeowon, a huge scandal is released online about a young actor being caught taking drugs. In an instant, this became the hottest topic online. As the annual awards ceremonies are approaching, it's normal for celebrities to spill information about their competitors around this time.

The Annual Model Awards is just around the corner. As one of the guest award presenters, Jooeun didn't need to be wary of people scheming against her. However, with Shinhye's arrogant and domineering attitude, how could she not make a move after knowing she'd receive an award?

"Jooeun, do you remember what day tomorrow is?" Minjung asked on the way to 1stLook's headquarters.

Tangning flipped the magazine in her hands and replied without lifting her head. "Yonghwa's birthday."

"Do you want to do anything?" Minjung asked.

"That money, I'd rather donate it to charity." Jooeun responded calmly.

Yesterday she had said some harsh words in front of Yonghwa. He probably thought of it as a joke, but he had no idea, the awards ceremony would be the end of Shinhye's road.

"You're right. This year, let's disregard him." Minjung laughed. The thought of how Jooeun had exhausted her efforts to celebrate Yonghwa's birthday in previous years only to be stood up, made Minjung's heartbreak. Luckily Jooeun had been awoken. "Another thing to consider, CN definitely won't survive, so your contract will definitely be canceled soon, what do you plan to do? I heard the newcomer Yonghwa signed on has stabbed you in the back and stolen the contract with YG. Jooeun, what are you and Big Boss planning to do? Are you planning to sign with YG or JYP?"

"Neither." Jooeun replied calmly. "Jeonghwan wants me to go to Sublime."

Minjung is stunned for a moment before smiling. "If Big Boss has faith in you, so do I."

"In regards to the companies that Jennie and Shinhye have their eyes on, Jeonghwan already eliminated them, so they can take it if they want. To me, it's not a loss at all." Jooeun continued to flip through the magazine. At this time, Minjung caught a glimpse of sharpness in her eyes.

The two women are happy with themselves; thinking they are so capable to steal something from Jooeun. However, the truth is, what they had stolen, held no value in Jooeun's eyes. Sublime Artist Agency, that's where Jooeun wanted to go. She's originally a superstar and aiming to advance is a normal human desire.

1stLook magazine's photoshoot is scheduled for two days later, but at this time, Mr. Graham requested for Jooeun to drop by the headquarters. Jooeun had a feeling she knew why he had called her. However, when Mr. Graham actually announced she's invited to attend a fashion show in France and to walk down the runway during the opening of Luxury's collection, she's still so surprised she froze in place.

"Jooeun, actually, for the October front cover, I am planning to take a photo of one of your poses from the show. This is a big opportunity for you, it will be very helpful in your return to the international stage. This was suggested by your low-profile manager. I feel he is right, you indeed have the capability; so I decided to recommend you. We could treat this as a way for me to fulfill the promise I made to the media at the Bright Night Gala."

Jooeun looked at Mr. Graham, she is suddenly speechless. She knew 1stLook's shoot would be an important turning point in her comeback and this turning point is created by Jeonghwan.

"There's no need to be emotional. If you want to thank me then show how professional you can be. Only the best models are worthy of the best resources."

Jooeun held back her tears as she gave Mr. Graham a hug and nodded. "I will definitely not disappoint."

"Your current agency is too messed up, so I've decided to keep this news under wraps for now."

"Thank you, Mr. Graham."

"Hard work pays off. I think that phrase suits you well."

Jooeun smiled. Towards this man, she is extremely thankful. She had always been the type to seek revenge when needed and to show gratitude when required.

Returning to the international stage. This is something Jooeun didn't dare to dream about, but now, her opportunity had come. While Shinhye is wasting all her efforts on seducing the judge and Jennie is thinking of ways to convince the CEO of YG, Jooeun had secured a critical chess piece. Of course, all this is because of Jeonghwan, who loves her and spoils her. She's hardworking, but she's also lucky because she had married the best husband in the world.

Yonghwa had no idea Jooeun would once again go up another level. At CN office building, he's currently watching the video of Jennie's runway walk which she filmed for her interview. The job had originally been intended for Jooeun, but the client didn't seem upset. From the looks of it, they were quite satisfied with Jennie.

Shinhye sat beside him and sneered. She is but a nobody, how could she take on Jooeun's jobs and receive the attention of everyone in CN?

"Shinhye, do you know what day it is tomorrow?" Yonghwa suddenly turned to the woman beside him and asked.

Shinhye thought carefully and suddenly started getting nervous. Tomorrow she had arranged to secretly meet with Mr. Jang, why is Yonghwa asking this? Did he know?

No! That can't be possible. If he had known, he wouldn't be asking in this tone.

"Yonghwa, you should be aware, my pregnancy has been affecting me really badly. I've been having a really bad memory. How about you just tell me?" Shinhye used her child as a shield.

"Tomorrow night I have reserved a room at Seoul Hotel. We can celebrate there."

Seoul Hotel!?

Shinhye is suddenly nervous. That's the place she had previously had an affair with Mr. Jang and tomorrow they had also reserved a room there. As she was nervous she would be discovered, she completely forgot about Yonghwa's birthday.
