Meanwhile, Jeonghwan set off on his flight to Germany. But as he left GK, Taejoo urgently ran over and stopped him.

"President, a problem has occurred with Samsung's collaboration. The President is on the phone." Taejoo handed the phone over.

This was a project they had invested hundreds of millions of dollars into. Jeonghwan glanced at his watch before grabbing the phone from Taejoo's hand. However, the issue couldn't merely be solved over the phone. Since GK had invested in the project and a problem had occurred, they were required to meet face-to-face to discuss.

Jeonghwan weighed out the importance for a moment before heading back into GK. As he walked, he instructed Taejoo. "Get Changwook hyung to immediately fly to Germany and help Jooeun secure Mont Blanc's endorsement."

"But Mont Blanc is amongst the top ten luxury products. Director Ji's assistance won't be enough." Taejoo followed behind Jeonghwan anxiously. This was only one of the problems Jooeun would face after joining GK.

If Jeonghwan was to accompany Jooeun at all times, the things he would give up would not be simple. He would have to make a lot of sacrifices. But Jooeun was already under his agency. No matter who he was to hand her over to, he did not feel completely at ease.

"If they can't secure it, tell him to give me a call!"

After accepting his instructions, Taejoo immediately went downstairs to relay the message to the Artists' Director. Changwook immediately cleared his schedule and rushed towards Germany, one hour behind Jooeun.

After an 11-hour flight, Jooeun finally arrived in Germany at 1 PM local time. Minjung dragged her huge suitcase as she followed behind Jooeun. The warmth of the sun's rays shone on their bodies putting them in a good mood.

Not long after, they arrived at the hotel organized by the agency. Minjung immediately called Taejoo to ask him what the schedule was like and to get updates on the manager. But as Taejoo held onto the phone, he glanced over at Jeonghwan who was currently in a meeting with Samsung. He assured her, "The schedule has been sent to the madam's email. As for her manager, he is on his way. I am currently in a meeting so I can't talk too much."

Minjung put down her phone and suddenly felt a little baffled. Jooeun had already begun her work, yet she still didn't know who her manager was. How were they to cooperate?

Jooeun sat uncomfortably on the edge of the bed. Seeing Minjung furrow her brows, she naturally asked. "What's wrong?"

"Who is this manager of yours? Why is he so mysterious?"

Jooeun endured the discomfort in her stomach as she leaned back on the bedhead and flipped through Mont Blanc's information. Seeing the pale look on her face, Minjung couldn't help but place her hands on her hips and ask worryingly, "Can you still work like this?"

"I'm fine." Jooeun replied as she held onto her burning stomach.

"From now on, let Boss control you. If you can't drink then don't drink. Did Boss give you any hangover soup?"

"Yep, I had some as soon as I woke up." Jooeun nodded.

"Jooeun, this is your first job since joining GK. On top of that, you will be competing with SM. Although I don't want to place pressure on you, I'm sure you know how important this endorsement is to you."

"I know what I'm doing." Jooeun gently nodded.

"In that case, have a bit of rest. I'll look through your schedule." Minjung took out her laptop and allowed Jooeun to get some rest. She didn't even get a chance to adjust to the time difference before she jumped straight into work. The interview was scheduled for 3 PM the next day. Minjung looked at the details of the interview before turning to look at Jooeun's uncomfortable sleeping expression. Minjung was extremely worried about her. If Jeonghwan was to know, how broken-hearted would he be? Jooeun was also aware that her current state was not good. From now on, she should avoid drinking in order not to cause her own suffering.

An hour later, Changwook also arrived at the hotel organized by the agency and located Jooeun's room.

Seeing Changwook make an appearance, Minjung thought he was Jooeun's manager. She had a good impression of this man. But if he really was Jooeun's manager, why did Taejooo keep her hanging?

Changwook took over the job halfway and understood that Jooeun was faced with an incredible challenge. Mont Blanc was an international jewelry brand. Becoming the spokesperson was not an easy task.

Changwook turned his head to look at Jooeun who was lying in bed. However, at this moment, she suddenly turned over and started vomiting. Changwook and Minjung were so scared their faces immediately turned pale. They immediately sent her to the hospital in Germany. After seeing the doctor, her condition was roughly stabilized.

"She hadn't relieved her alcohol poisoning before boarding such a long flight. Of course, her stomach was upset."

"In that case, when will she be fully recovered?" Minjung asked the doctor in English.

"She needs to rest in bed for 2 days."

Rest in bed. That meant she wouldn't be able to attend the interview the next day. Minjung turned and looked at Changwook. All of a sudden, she didn't know what to do. Changwook remained silent. In the end, he pulled out his phone and reported everything to Jeonghwan.

Jooeun was afraid Jeonghwan would be worried, so she asked Changwook not to tell Jeonghwan she was in the hospital. But after careful consideration, Changwook decided not to listen to her and told Jeonghwan everything.

"I shouldn't have rushed her to take on an advertisement and secure an endorsement."

"How about we give up on the Mont Blanc contract then?"

Opportunities came around often and GK never joked around with an artist's health, especially when the artist involved was the most important person in Jeonghwan's heart.

But contrary to Changwook's expectation, Jeonghwan laughed. "If she would give up so easily, she wouldn't be Cha Jooeun."

"What are you suggesting President?"

"Tomorrow, help her with the interview. But make sure her body can handle it. If there is anything you aren't sure of, give me a phone call."

Changwook held onto the phone and decided to do a little test on Jooeun. So he covered the mouthpiece and said, "President Lee wants you to give up on the endorsement."

"I do not have a reason to give up."

Changwook's lips curved upwards. Indeed, the person that understood Jooeun the most was Jeonghwan. So he handed the phone to Jooeun and gestured for her to tell him personally.

The couple was separated by thousands of miles. Jooeun held onto the phone but was too afraid to say anything as she let out a raspy sound.

"Don't push yourself too hard. As soon as you feel any discomfort, let Changwook Hyung know."

"OK." Jooeun gave a simple one-worded reply.

"Without me by your side, I am really worried." Jeonghwan felt a sense of regret. Why did he choose to handle his work first instead of going to Jooeun? If he had known she'd make him so worried, he would have thrown away the close to billion-dollar investment.

"I'm fine, really."

"You aren't allowed to drink next time."

"Uh-huh, I won't drink anymore." Jooeun nodded her head with self-awareness.

Changwook listened to the conversation between the couple. He couldn't imagine how the usually stern President could be so tender when he was in love.

If Jooeun was to find out her manager was Jeonghwan, how far would their happiness go?
