Thanks to Du-jun's successful press conference, the mood within the company becomes even more subdued. As Du-jun and Hui-won's love deepens, Jeong-eum exploits Du-jun's weakness to become co-CEO, this time targeting Hui-won.

Jeong-eum's rampage exposes Hui-won's secret to the world. Hui-won is bewildered by allegations of preferential treatment in the contest and proposes a new idea to clear her name. Meanwhile, the vote on Du-jun's dismissal approaches, and Du-jun gathers evidence and prepares his final counterattack.

Hui-won and Du-jun grow stronger as they confront Jeong-eum, who arrives to ruin their meeting. Du-jun, along with Mi-ran and Min-wook, contemplates a proposal for Hui-won, while Hui-won plans a secret operation for Du-jun. Jeong-eum, who has lost everything, rushes in front of the two, who dream of a happier life.
