I am the eldest daughter of the Park Family, one of the biggest families in Korea.
park min hye
But i decided to walk my way alone and away from my family after the death of my mother when i was 22 years old
park min hye
my father decided to bring in his mistress right after my mom died which made me hate him and want nothing to do with them
park min hye
I have a younger sister Mira
Park Mira( Min Hye's elder sister)
Hi ! My name is Mira😁😁
park min hye
Mira was only one year old when mom died, she grew up with dad believing that his mistress is her mom
park min hye
Well she is our stepmom now ...
park min hye
She has a son, Jason.
park min hye
28 years old, his father is American so he lives there and visits once in a while
park min hye
I do not have friends
park min hye
Only coworkers ... No need to site their names cause i do not interact with them much
park min hye
I prefer to stay on my own, finish my work and go home
park min hye
The only person i actually interact woth is my Boss Lisa
park min hye
She is a sweet lady but strict when it comes to work
park min hye
Well ... That's all from me now

park min hye
*gets out of the bed and start doing her morning routine*
okay so here is her daily morning routine :
1. A quick shower
2. Apply skin care : hyaluronic acid + snail cream + sunscreen
3. Do her quick makeup: mascara + natural blush + tinted lip balm
4. Get dressed
PS. This will be her morning routine all throughout the story.
She takes her bag and car keys and leaves the house
She takes the elevator to the parking lot and goes into her car which was her late mother's last gift for her on her 20th birthday before she fell sick

Yes uncle everything is good
park min hye
Uncle please i need to ask something and be honest with me
uncle Chu

park min hye
Is Mira being treated well in that house?
uncle Chu
*stuttered* w.why would you ask that ?
park min hye
please answer me
uncle Chu
*sigh* i will be honest with you
uncle Chu
At first she was ... When your father was still present in her life
park min hye
What do you mean by that?
uncle Chu
Your father became distant this last few months, he is not as present in the house as before ... I believe your family business is not doing well
park min hye
What does that have to do with Mira?
uncle Chu
*sigh* Mrs. Park ... she changed her treatment with Mira ever since
park min hye
Okay uncle thank you
park min hye
Please uncle Mira will be home in a while, her friend's mom will drop her off
park min hye
Please take care of her for me ... Until I find a solution
uncle Chu

park min hye
*hangs up the phone and walks into her office*

Sali
Em .. Ms.Park Lisa wants you in her office
park min hye

Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Min Hye please sit
park min hye
*takes a seat*
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Have you started on the fills i gave you?
park min hye
Yes Lisa but you know they are problematic so it will take me some time to solve them
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
I know, i know
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
That's why i gave them to you Min Hye i can only trust you with them
park min hye
But Lisa did you check Mr.Lee's fill? I think something is fishy
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
*smiles* now you making me proud you know
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
I now know that i gave them to the right person
park min hye
What do you mean ?
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Mr.Lee... his fill is messed up and only you can solve it without being influenced
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
*sigh* the company he worked for is corrupt and is doing everything to stop him and us from declaring that he actually was in a work accident
park min hye
But he has a witness
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
That's the problem ... The witness is gone
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
we believe the company paid him to change his words
park min hye
*sigh* Lisa tell me what can i and can't i do in this?
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Well ... I want you to play all the cards you have, our job is to help those in need not the opposite
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
And i want you to stay loyal to him till the end ... no matter what happens
park min hye
*nods* okay don't worry about this
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
But Min Hye no one in the office should know the steps you will be taking or anything about the case ... Even me
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Yes, you're on your own in this don't let anyone know anything untill you win the case
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Can i trust you in that?
park min hye
Of course Lisa don't worry
park min hye
I will be taking the fills and everything related to it home
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Good
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
You can go back to your work now
park min hye
Okay *leaves*
park min hye
*sits on her desk checking Mr.Lee's fill* -reading in mind- Lee Hong Ki ... 40 years old ... SY Entertainment ... In a coma for 5 weeks after being hit on the head with heavy metal that fell on the filming site ... Witness Song Min female 30 years old ...
Park Mira( Min Hye's elder sister)

Lisa (Min Hye's boss)

park min hye

park min hye
I will take them and work on them at home
park min hye
Because you asked me not to work on them here
park min hye
So it will be just a waste of time to be here
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
Oh you are right ... You know what ... Go you have a month
Lisa (Min Hye's boss)
