Yeji personally made a phone call to offer Jooeun a contract with Sublime Artist Agency. Although Jooeun is trying her best to remain calm, she was still a bit surprised.

"President Seo..."

"Jooeun-ssi, I am so sorry. In actual fact, straight after you canceled your contract with CN, I already had the intention to sign you on. But someone told me you were signing with JYP, so I gave up on this thought. However tonight, I had a little chat with CEO Park. He told me you had no intention of signing with JYP. In that case, are you willing to join Sublime?"

Before Jooeun could respond, Yeji smiled as she tried to prevent Jooeun from rejecting her offer. "I've already taken a look at your portfolio. My staff did not handle things properly, I hope it did not upset you."

It seemed that Seo Yeji already knew about Park Hyomin's scheming behind her back.

"Thank you, President Seo, for your appreciation."

"Let's meet tomorrow. I want to have lunch with you."

Jooeun agreed. After she hung up the phone, she felt she was dreaming. Thinking about how Ahn Bohyun had felt guilty today, she guessed Seo Yeji must have given him the mission to contact her, but he didn't do it. With the addition of what happened to her portfolio, she had been stopped twice from joining Sublime. It seemed, CEO Park had unintentionally given her a helping hand.

Thinking up to here, Jooeun suddenly felt Ahn Bohyun and Park Hyomin's fate did not look promising. Although Seo Yeji is a woman, she had the ability to get Sublime to where it is today. Which meant she still had plenty of power in her hands. How dare Ahn Bohyun and Park Hyomin treat her like a fool, posing a threat to her and provoking her position?

"Did something good happened?" Jeonghwan had just stepped out of the bathroom as Jooeun approached him from the window and pressed her warm body against his. He leaned over and placed his head on her shoulder.

"I've been given the opportunity to sign with Sublime." Jooeun turned around and wrapped her arms around Jeonghwan's neck. "President Seo personally made a phone call to me. It seems she didn't want Ahn Bohyun and Park Hyomin to know about this."

At this point, Jooeun explained the entire incident to Jeonghwan from the start. Jeonghwan could relate to how Seo Yeji felt. It didn't matter if his staff did unreasonable things or did things to benefit themselves, as long as he never found out or saw it with his own eyes. Otherwise, he would deal with their actions seriously, even if they are his right-hand men.

"After you join Sublime, President Seo will definitely appoint a manager for you. When that time comes, will you tell them about our relationship?"

"I will have to see if that person is worth it." Jooeun's eyes deepened as she spoke. "If I get a new management team, you won't have to work so hard anymore. I don't want the same thing to happen to you like what happened a few days ago when you didn't tell me about your fever."

Jeonghwan gently played with Jooeun's hair as he planted a kiss on her forehead. "That was just an accident. Even if you get a new management team, I will still run my eyes over all your documents. Not everyone is like me."

"How so?"

"Not everyone wishes the best for you as I do."

Jooeun smiled as she stood up on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on Jeonghwan's lips. Jeonghwan took advantage of this opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist, increasing the passion between them. He then whispered in her ear. "The truth is, I don't actually want to let you go. After you go to Sublime, we will have less time to see each other."

Jooeun hooked her arms around Jeonghwan's neck as her cheeks flushed red. "President Lee, why do I sense a trace of fear?"

Jeonghwan's words were not unreasonable. After Jooeun signed with Sublime, she would have less free time. On top of that, more people would be paying attention to her and she wouldn't be able to do whatever she wanted as she did now. However, Jooeun did not respond to his fear nor make any promises. No matter how high she advanced in her career, she would never forget the one thing that motivated her: to stand on the same level as Jeonghwan. If she neglected Jeonghwan because she was too busy, then she would have lost the reason behind everything she did, wouldn't that be pointless?

Above all, Jeonghwan is the most important person in her heart. No matter what was to happen in the future or how things changed, she had long made the promise that as long as it concerned Jeonghwan. No matter big or small, she would treat it with great importance.

As Jooeun did not make any response to his fears, Jeonghwan bent over and lifted her in his arms over to the bed. "I need a sense of security, honey."

"What do you want me to do to reassure you?" Jooeun gently lifted her brows.

"Of course, I need to become one with you."

In actual fact, Jooeun also felt a bit uneasy inside. Joining a big company is something to be happy about but with it, came challenges and right before her eyes like Ahn Bohyun and Park Hyomin.

The next morning. Sublime Artist Agency.

It's early in the day, but Hyomin had already started to organize all the auditions for the models that had shown up. As Yeji was leaving the building, she passed by the busy Hyomin, a thought came to her head. She approached Hyomin and said, "As planned, we will be signing 5 new models. You only need to find 4, leave one empty, I already have other arrangements."

Hyomin stared back at her blankly before nodding her head. "Yes, President."

Yeji patted her on the shoulder, encouraging her to continue working hard. Her eyes contained a sense of ridicule and mockery, but Hyomin had already turned her head away, so she didn't notice. Yeji is heading out to sign a contract with the one person Hyomin had worked so hard to keep away. Since Yeji's dignity as CEO had been provoked, she was definitely going to find a way to teach Bohyun and Hyomin a lesson. If she wanted a person, how dare they stand in the way? She decided she would let them audition other models. They would think she actually gave up on Cha Jooeun. But after the contract with Cha Jooeun was signed, she would officially announce it and destroy the couple's arrogance!

By 10 AM, the sun was a lot harsher than it was earlier in the day. The weather was accompanied by drafts of cold refreshing air. Jooeun and Yeji were both on time to their meeting. The two got along extremely well, their chat lasted the entire afternoon.

Jooeun is younger than Yeji by 3 years. She had previously seen Yeji on the runway. At that time, she was quite famous in the modeling industry, no one would have expected she'd end up working behind the scenes instead.

"Jooeun-ssi, in a couple of days, my friend will be holding a show. I want you to go do the opening. You've rested long enough. But don't let anyone know about our contract just yet. I want to prepare a grand contract signing ceremony for you. When that time comes, there will be a good show."

"OK." Jooeun nodded.
