"I have a feeling, Yeji won't let you go on this talk show." Jeonghwan said in a deep voice. "After how you've challenged her, there is no way she will let you off easily. If she can tolerate you stepping over her head, then other models would use you as an example and do the same. If that happens, she would lose the dignity of being a CEO."

"She was the one that challenged me first." Jooeun replied calmly. "Just because I am a model, does that mean I have no self-respect? Should I allow her to fool me and control me just so she can have some dignity?"

"You know that's not what I meant. I'm just worried she will do something to you." Jeonghwan quickly explained.

"I know that's not what you meant. I just think it's a pity that most people in this world aren't treated fairly. Especially when it comes to people like Yeji, is it really that important to control others?"

Jooeun turned around and faced Jeonghwan as she spoke in a relaxed tone. "Hwan, you should not feel guilty for sending me to Sublime. In this world, the good comes with the bad. In my case, without a senior to learn from and share their experiences, I can only fight my own way out. I'm not afraid to be covered in wounds, because I know, once I pull through all these scars, all that awaits me – is a success. So Yeji's obstacles are nothing."

Jeonghwan did not speak. He simply reached out his hand to tuck some hair behind Jooeun's ear. In his heart, the prediction he was most afraid of, was not as simple as a few obstacles. Of course, as long as Yeji dared to make a move, he would definitely make her regretful for the rest of her life.

Midnight.

Kangjun instructed some people to release news about Yeji placing an internal ban on Jooeun. Maybe because of Jooeun's popularity over the past few days, Jooeun and Sublime's incident quickly spread everywhere by the next day.

In an instant, Yeji's office received phone calls asking for clarification. She instructed her secretary to tell them she was out of the office and refused to answer any questions. Her intention to internally ban Jooeun had long been a company secret. Everyone in Sublime was aware but wasn't allowed to talk about it.

Not long after, the reporter's contacted Kangjun to ask Jooeun for clarification. Jooeun responded simply. "I will answer this question personally when I appear on Radio Star."

Sublime has placed an internal ban on Cha Jooeun. Was what Nam Joohyuk said true?

Sublime Artist Agency has just signed a contract with Cha Jooeun and she currently has strong momentum. What reason does Sublime have to ban her?

As for Jooeun, the fact that she announced she would give a response on Radio Star, what big news is she going to reveal?

Seeing Jooeun's response, Yeji was so angry she smashed everything on her desk to vent her anger. But no matter how her emotions changed and how hard she tried to calm her anger, she couldn't tolerate one thing. Jooeun was indeed threatening her. How dare Jooeun threaten her!

Afterward, she called for Bohyun. Although they had been hostile since Hyomin's incident, right now, out of the entire Sublime, she didn't know who she could trust. "Have you heard that Jooeun will be going on Radio Star?"

"Now you know why I tried to stop you from signing Cha Jooeun? I can't deny I had my own agenda. But compared to this, the fact that your personalities clash is a bigger reason."

"Right now, all you need to tell me is what to do." Yeji didn't want to dwell on the past. She just wanted to find a quick solution.

"If you don't want her to go on Radio Star, then you can make a move on Minjung. Cha Jooeun can clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred. Although she is vengeful, she honestly treats her assistant as a friend. If you don't want her to do anything, then Minjung is undoubtedly the best target."

"If you can't prevent Jooeun from going on the show. . ." Bohyun lit a cigarette as he thought about what Hyomin had previously told him. "I remember Cha Jooeun once said in an interview that she does not have a boyfriend. You can always expose that she is living with a man and accuse her of lying to the public."

Of course, they did not realize the true meaning behind Jooeun's words – she had a husband, not a boyfriend.

"Also, Kangjun definitely can't stay by Cha Jooeun's side. When the time comes, Cha Jooeun will be a complete failure with no manager. You can do whatever you want to her without anyone questioning you. Everyone will just clap their hands and praise you."

Yeji looked at Bohyun with a dark expression. She was even more on guard than when she was thinking about Jooeun.

"So it turns out you have so much hidden inside..."

"I've thought long and hard about how to deal with Cha Jooeun, I've just never had the chance. Every day I've been thinking about the day's events and what I could do to attack her." Bohyun thought about Hyomin's request for him to avenge her.

Yeji nodded her head with an expression of ridicule. Although she did not acknowledge Bohyun, she couldn't deny that his idea was indeed a good solution to her worries.

Did Jooeun still want to make this CEO kneel before her? Let's see who kneels first!

Radio Star's interview was organized for the following week, in 3 days' time. Because of Damiani's commercial, Jooeun's job invites were once again increased. Not only that, all the clients that had their jobs switched to Ahn Hani and Shin Suhyun were requesting for Yeji to swap them back. They were stunned by Jooeun's charisma as a model.

As a result, Hani decided to complain in Yeji's office. "President Seo, all the jobs I have taken from Cha Jooeun have now become useless. The clients have even decided to send you legal notices for breaching their contracts by replacing Cha Jooeun. The compensation won't be small."

Yeji furrowed her brows. At first, she didn't really care about the issue at hand. But once Shin Suhyun also added her jobs on top, Yeji realized she could no longer disregard the matter.

These shameless companies. If we compare Ahn Hani and Shin Suhyun's status to Cha Jooeun, they are both higher than her. How can they be so blind as to not use either of them?

"I never expected Cha Jooeun to go all out. This is one month of work for her and it is already equivalent to the sum of both our jobs put together. An old model is indeed an old model. She's so old she can only throw herself out there in desperation."

Suhyun didn't speak in the same negative tone, she merely reminded Yeji. "President Seo, why don't you ask Cha Jooeun to come back and take these jobs?"

Yeji glanced briefly at Suhyun with a deep expression. In the end, she picked up her phone and called her secretary into the office. She wanted to renegotiate with the clients. However, the results were the same. They insisted on Cha Jooeun.

She had no choice but to call Jooeun. "Come to the office right now."

On the other end of the phone, Jooeun was currently jogging with Jeonghwan as she responded. "If you have something to say, speak to my manager." It seemed she had no intention to care about Yeji at all. She simply glanced at Jeonghwan's attractive physique and continued to jog on the treadmill.

Yeji, you gave my resources away without saying anything. Now you want to give them back? Let's wait and see if I'll accept them!
