Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 164: Is Cha Jooeun Crazy?

"Don't get angry too soon. From what I've heard from people within the industry, because of this incident, Sublime has seized the opportunity to place an internal ban on Cha Jooeun. I also heard that the jobs she previously signed have all been given to others. She no longer has the ability to challenge you." Joohyuk's manager sat down beside him and shared all the details he had learned.

"Is this true?" Joohyuk lifted his head and took another sip of wine as he leaned back on the sofa. "Have you confirmed this information?"

"It's pretty much confirmed."

Joohyuk put down his wine and burst out laughing. "Let's see how that b*tch challenges me now. But I have a question. Sublime only just signed on Cha Jooeun, how did their disagreement already get to this point?"

"It's Sublime's internal battle. As outsiders, how can we understand?" A moment later, Joohyuk's manager patted him on the shoulder. "Don't waste your time fighting with her. Right now, she is as unpopular as a sewer rat."

Joohyuk was ecstatic. Disregarding his manager's words, he immediately pulled out his phone and posted a message online.

"Hahaha, I heard Cha Jooeun's been banned by Sublime!"

Cha Jooeun was banned!? Does Joohyuk hate Jooeun so much that he's gone crazy?

The media expressed their confusion. They didn't understand why Sublime had originally signed Cha Jooeun so proudly, yet now they were slapping themselves in the face so quickly. However, as the information came from Joohyuk's mouth, the media felt they had to follow up on the issue and find out the truth. So they directly made a phone call to Sublime's CEO's office.

Originally, Yeji wanted to quietly deal with Jooeun and not blow up the situation, but she never expected Nam Joohyuk would expose everything just like that. She wanted to ban Jooeun. But she didn't want the public to know she was suppressing her just because she was no longer of value. Above all, she especially didn't want them to know that after using Cha Jooeun, she was now trying to discard her. It seemed in her heart, she too was aware that what she was doing was shameless and embarrassing. After all, simply using the incident with Nam Joohyuk as a reason, was too weak and far-fetched. However, what she expected even less, was that Jooeun would actually fight back. Even if Yeji was the opponent, Jooeun won't give in.

"Right now, everyone is spreading the word that Sublime has banned you. They've also found proof that Ahn Hani has taken over a few of your jobs. The public is assuming you are out of luck and as a 29-year-old model, being able to get to Sublime has already been a good enough achievement for you." Kangjun sneered as he looked at the comments online. "However, I must say, the idiot Nam Joohyuk has really done us a huge favor this time."

Kangjun had originally intended to expose this news himself, hoping public opinion would be able to keep Yeji in check. But if he did that, they would both suffer a loss. Now that Nam Joohyuk had presented them with this huge gift, how could they reject his token of goodwill?

Jooeun sat in the van flipping through a magazine as she maintained a smile on her face. "He probably thinks of it as a joke, but he has no idea Yeji will be too afraid to admit to it. In the end, Yeji will choose to keep her pride."

"Why must you go see Yeji?" Kangjun felt Jooeun did not have the need to see Yeji anymore.

"It's not that I want to see her, she is the one that wants to see me." Jooeun corrected.

"What I mean is, you could have rejected her."

"It doesn't hurt to see her. Who knows? Maybe she is feeling regret. Even if she doesn't regret today, she will eventually feel it." Jooeun said with a deeper meaning.

Kangjun closed his laptop and fell into silence. After quite some time, he finally asked. "Honestly, has President Lee not invited you to join GK? Tell me the truth Jooeun."

"Of course he has. But, I am not worthy yet!" Jooeun replied straightforwardly.

Kangjun shook his finger at her. He felt regret on her behalf. How could she let go of such a great opportunity?

Half an hour later, the trio finally arrived at Sublime's headquarters. Reporter's quickly swamped around them, but Kangjun and Minjung quickly shielded Jooeun and cleared a path for her to get into the building. Yeji's secretary was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Jooeun, she immediately directed her into the meeting room. Jooeun scrunched up her eyebrows as she headed for the meeting room with Kangjun and Minjung. However, upon entering the room, she not only saw Yeji, she also saw Ahn Hani and Sublime's other international model, Shin Suhyun. The woman seemed to have noticed her as she gazed at her deeply. It seemed she wanted to say something, but with Yeji around she couldn't.

Jooeun could sense she had good intentions. So she looked at her and nodded her head. She was a woman of foreign descent with a pure short hairstyle that framed her face. Although her features weren't amazing, it was well defined and extremely unique. It was no surprise that she frequented the international runways.

"Jooeun, sit." Yeji gestured coldly. "I invited you here today so that you, Hani, and Suhyun can get to know each other."

"I can resume your jobs, but you must control your attitude."

"What part of my attitude is President Seo unhappy with?" Jooeun questioned.

"If you were at least half as obedient as these two, you would not attract the mess that you have now." Yeji replied coldly. "In other words, as a model of Sublime, your future is in my hands. I just hope for you to be a little more obedient and cooperative. Am I wrong to ask for that?"

"So this includes having dinner with male actors?"

"That was for the purpose of creating hype." Yeji couldn't take it anymore. She felt Jooeun was way too arrogant. "Fine, I'm not going to argue with you. I just have one question: do you still want to become an international supermodel?"

"President Seo, you must have known I will not compromise. The only reason you invited these two here today, was so you could force me to quit, with them serving as witnesses." Jooeun unmasked Yeji's true intention.

After hearing these words, Yeji felt she no longer had to care too much as she directly said, "Suhyun and Hani have already taken your jobs, what are you going to do about it? In fact, you guessed right. I indeed want to force you to quit!"

Yeji wanted to keep her pride, so she had no choice but to force Jooeun to be a deserter!

"You will definitely come to beg me not to leave." Jooeun responded after a moment of silence. "Seo Yeji, you will pay the price for what you have done today."

Hearing this, Ahn Hani was dumbfounded. Of course, so was Shin Suhyun. No one had ever spoken to Yeji this way – Jooeun was the first! She was the first model to tell Yeji she'd regret in such a confident and crazy way. Hani even mouthed the words Is Cha Jooeun crazy?
