In the dimly lit room, the two looked at each other. However, Bohyun felt Hyomin was being too confident.

If one was to say, over the years, Hyomin relied on schemes to gain connections and resources, then Bohyun's methods were definitely more similar to Jooeun's. They both enjoyed keeping calm and collected as they watched their prey panic.

After being upset by Jooeun and stressed by Kangjun, Hyomin was a total mess.

"President Seo isn't as easy to deal with as you think."

"Hypocrite! Coward!" Hyomin glared at Bohyun as she yelled at him angrily. "You've always been making advancements steadily, even if it means sacrificing others. If you don't want to cooperate, then fine, tomorrow I will go look for Yeji myself."

After speaking, Hyomin stood up to leave. But she was held back by Bohyun. "I didn't say I won't help you. Tomorrow, we'll go see President Seo together."

Bohyun understood that Kangjun's threat was much bigger than Hyomin's. Since he had an opportunity to take him down, he wasn't going to let it go to waste.

Midday the next day. Sublime's CEO's office.

Yejii was a bit surprised as Hyomin and Bohyun walked into her office. She lifted her chin slightly and asked, "What is it? Speak. We have a press conference to organize at 2 PM."

"President Seo, I am here to resign." Hyomin handed her resignation to President Seo leisurely.

"Me too." Bohyun also placed an envelope on Yeji's desk.

Yeji's expression changed as she questioned the two. "What is the meaning of this?"

"We are happy that Kangjun has returned. But as you know, we have an unhappy history with him. So it will be awkward for us to stick around. Since Kangjun is back, then it is time for us to leave. We hope President Seo can fulfill our request!"

Yeji had a complicated look across her face as she slowly sneered. "Are you trying to threaten me?"

"President Seo. Yesterday, Harper's and I signed a contract. But Kangjun came between us and forced them to cancel my contract. I really don't want to make things difficult for you, but I also don't want to make things difficult for myself. So I hope you can fulfill my request."

Yeji clenched the letter in her hand. She had finally seen through their true intention, they wanted her to get rid of Seo Kangjun. How a CEO like herself could be threatened by two managers?

"You can go downstairs first. This matter, I will handle as you please."

Hyomin and Bohyun looked at each other. A huge load had been taken off their shoulders.

Since Yeji had not authorized their resignation, it meant she was considering the other option. So when she said she would handle the matter as they please, what she meant to say was, today's homecoming ceremony would now be turned into a dismissal ceremony. Above all, they had control of Sublime's resources and Kangjun had nothing. Hyomin refused to believe that Yeji would risk putting Sublime into turmoil for the sake of Kangjun.

Yeji watched as the two left her office. She had used so much self-control to hold back the urge to throw the resignation letters in their faces. How dare these two impudent fools try to threaten her?

Since they wanted to resign so badly. Their request was worth fulfilling!

2 PM.

The press conference was to go ahead as normal. Today was a day that was worthy of celebrating for Sublime, as ex artists-director Seo Kangjun was to return and help the business grow. Meanwhile, the media were trying to dig up as much dirt about Kangjun as possible. In particular, the news about him and Jiwon's relationship was once again hyped up.

At this time, Jooeun was on her way to Sublime's office. She was wearing a gold lace dress and around her neck hung a beautiful diamond necklace. Her hair was styled with soft curls and her makeup was glamorous without being overbearing; a look which was completely different from her usual plain style. Jeonghwan, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but take another look.

"What is it?" Jooeun turned to question Jeonghwan, revealing her delicate white neck. "You don't recognize me anymore?"

The usual Jooeun didn't demand attention, she was quiet and pleasant. Whereas the Jooeun, at this moment, was stylish and dazzling with the aura of a queen. This change seemed to mimic Jooeun's attitude. While she was planning out her revenge, she kept a low profile. However, from now on, she wanted to grab everyone's attention and amaze them.

Jeonghwan straightened his posture and reached out to grab hold of Jooeun's chin. Staring at her plump red lips, he couldn't help but kiss down on them, leaving his own lips stained with some of her lipstick.

Jooeun was surprised. She smiled gently as she wiped his lips with her finger. "President Lee, what are you trying to do?"

"Trying to swallow you whole." Jeonghwan gazed at Jooeun as he whispered in a deep and seductive voice.

"It seems you like it when I wear lipstick."

"You look beautiful." Jeonghwan admitted. "Wear it more often."

"Okay, you can apply it for me." Jooeun gently nodded her head. She never imagined, such a small gesture could steal this man's heart. "Alright, I'm almost at Sublime. I will get off here."

"If anything happens, give me a call."

"Even if you didn't say it, I would still call you. After all, you are the closest person to me."

Jeonghwan was satisfied with her response as he smiled. The corners of lips curved high, his smile seemed to contain magic that captured one's soul. She waved at him. It was not until he had left that she contacted Yeji.

There was still half an hour until the press conference. Following Yeji's arrangements, Jooeun made her way to Sublime's secret waiting room and patiently waited for the show that was about to start.

All preparations were in place. At this time, Yeji told Kangjun about Hyomin and Bohyun's attempt to threaten her, she was furious. The two seemed to have lost themselves in an abyss of power and desire; they no longer took note of anything else.

"Kangjun, it's so good that you've returned." After entering Sublime, Kangjun ran into an old staff. It seemed she was looking forward to his return. He smiled with a sense of distrust.

Just as they entered the lift, Hyomin appeared with Im Nayoung. They looked at each other. Hyomin contained her unhappiness and turned her back to Kangjun.

"Kangjun, now that you've returned, you won't be leaving us again, right?"

Kangjun glared at the back of Hyomin's head, at the evil woman before him. His eyes were deep and complicated, but he didn't forget to reply. "Of course."

Hearing this, Yang Jing sneered but no one heard it. After the lift emptied out, she finally started speaking.

"You know what, I don't think President Seo is 100% satisfied with you. After all, you previously abandoned Sublime and went overseas. What do you think?"

"I don't think it's up to a small manager like you to determine whether she is satisfied or not." Kangjun replied coldly.

"Really? In a moment, don't embarrass yourself." Hyomin's words contained a deeper meaning. She didn't turn around to face Kangjun even once.

Of course, he knew what she was getting at as he too replied with a deeper meaning, "I guessed right about your contract getting canceled. I wonder what else I can guess right about. Hyomin, remember this. Yeji did not depend on you to get Sublime to this level!"
