"What are you talking about? You liked him before Yoo-Jin did? Yung-In, you used to hate Chief Jung, didn't you?"0

President Ahn Yung-Hee tilted her head, looking completely unable to understand. Now, Ju Yung-In had already given her heart to Jung Yoon-Ho, but back in the early days of Hoop Entertainment, the two of them had been on terrible terms. To be exact, rising star Ju Yung-In hadn't even treated a low-ranking talent agent like a human being.0
