A week had passed, Logan was given the last chance to negotiate with CEO Shim meanwhile, Shim Suryeon's life doesn't have any changes. She was still a busy person as always.

"Unnie, you are going to work today?" Seojin came and asked her.

"Yes, Seojin-ah." She replied. "I'm going, Seojin-ah." She bids her goodbye and prepares to go to her office. She went to her car and drove to her company.

------------------------

She has three meetings for today so she will really be busy. She also will have her last negotiation with the CEO of Lee corporation.

She went inside her company, and straightly went to her office. A man was waiting for her. "Good Morning, ma'am. Sir. Lee is already waiting for you." Her secretary said and left after. She went inside her office and greeted the visitor formally. "I want to formally apologize for how I treated your employee the last time I went here." He said. "It's fine, Mr. Lee. I hope you won't do it again,"Shim Suryeon replied. They talk about the things they have to talk about. They were able to talk about the business and after that Suryeon came to a final decision. "Since your idea was great and it seems like your intention is good. Let's have it then. The deal is now closed so the Lee corp and Shimwoon Corp are in a merge company.Let's be good business partners. I hate traitors and whistleblowers, Mr. Lee" She said. It makes Logan stunned for a while. This woman really has a strong aura that even a man like me will really be scared. He thinks. "Mr. Lee, are you listening?" Shim Suryeon snapped her fingers to get his attention. "Oh yes, President Shim. Thank you for accepting my offer. And yes, let's be good business partners." He replied. After that he formally bid a goodbye to Shim Suryeon and Shim Suryeon proceeded to her meetings.

Logan also went back to his company and prepared for his things to be moved to the Shimwoon company since he will start working for that company later this afternoon. He still didn't know where his office would be so he didn't know what it looked like. Alex Lee will handle the Lee Corp as CFO.

-------------------

A lot of changes happened today, Logan started to do his job as a CEO that merged with another CEO's company. Shim Su Ryeon didn't feel any awkwardness with the other CEO she will start working with formally tomorrow.


She went back to the Shim mansion since her father was actually looking for her. She went inside and saw her father patiently waiting for her. "Hi, I'm home." She coldly greeted. "How was it working with the son of James Lee?" He suddenly asked, which made Suryeon nervous. "What did you say?"

"I say, how was it working with the son of James Lee?" He repeated it again. "How did you know I was in a merger with their company?" Suryeon answered his question with a question too. "I have my ways, Suryeon-ah. So don't you dare make something that will put you in danger." He wickedly smiled and touch Suryeon's hair. Suryeon answered him back with a wicked smile. Her father was startled to see Suryeon doing that. "Oh no, do you think I'm scared? I am not scared, father." She said and slightly pushed her father away from her. She walks into her room and does some office work.

-------------------------------

On the other side, Logan receives a call from Alex that their mother was put in a critical condition again. He drove faster to their family house and he saw his mother having a hard time.. He went near his mother and kissed her hand. "Mom, I know you're tired. It is hard for me to let you go but I am letting you go. Goodbye, mom." He said, and the doctors and nurses who were trying to revive his mother gave up and pulled off all the engines that connect and sustain his mother's life.

They held a funeral for Stella Lee and the two sons were mourning for their mother's passing but they couldn't do anything but to accept it. But Logan promised to himself that he will still find justice for what happened to his mother. It was a dark night for the Lee family and a lonely night for someone on the other side.

------------------------

Suryeon was lying down on her bed after finishing all her paperworks, she was staring at her ceiling when tears slowly fell down from her eyes. She opened the closet and saw something unfamiliar to her so she got that thing and opened it. It was a box with something inside. She opened the box and it contained a necklace with a letter inside. The letter that says, the beauty of love and friendship. A love that holds on together and has its everlasting. This necklace will return to its turn in the right time and in the right place.

Suryeon reads the letter and she is mesmerized with the beauty of the necklace. "But whose necklace is this?" She asked. When she noticed that there was a handkerchief under the box she took it and spread the handkerchief and she noticed there was an initial printed on it.

K.S.A & C.A.Y

When she read the initial all she knew was KSA was the initials of her mother's full name but the other one didn't know who it was. She put it back and this thing makes her more curious of what really happened in the past. She went to a little balcony outside her room and felt the fresh air. "Mom, if you are looking at me right now, are you proud of me?" She whispered into the thin air. She was like a clueless person asking for answers to all of her questions. These things make her overthink but all she can do is to do something silently.

Suryeon's POV
All my life, I was alone. All I did was to follow everything that my father asked me but after my mom died I started to change. Because the only person who can actually help was myself. Everyone in my company called me dangerous because of how I talk with my business partners and how I deal with the problems of my company. They actually started calling me a dangerous woman when an incident happened in my office. One of my business partners, Joo dan tae, who was actually obsessed with me. And keep on chasing me and he even made a fake image that shows that I am dating him so I have no other choice but to make him pay for it.

Flashback

"Yah, Shim Suryeon!'" He slammed the door and walked towards me. "Yes, Mr. Joo?" I asked him, raising my one eyebrow to him. "How dare you make my company go down like that? All the investors turn down all my offers." He said while clenching his jaw because of his anger. "You deserve it, Mr. Joo. After making that scandal, you have to pay big for what you did. How's the feeling?" I replied and smirked. He tried to slap me but I was able to stop him and I even pushed him so hard that he hit the wall. When he realized he can't fight back since a lot of employees are looking at him, he embarrassedly went out of my office and all I did was to release my evil smile.

That's how they started calling me Dangerous Woman.
