"I'll let Yoon Hyung-Chul grovel under the thumb of his former toady, Kim Sun-Dal, the man who betrayed him." -- Kim Eun-Ki

 

 

CHAIRMAN'S OFFICE, MBS YEOUIDO HQ ...

 

"Isn't it presumptuous to have your nameplate on the door already? ..."

 

Kim Eun-Hee makes the observation at she enters the newly redecorated Chairman's office suite, where Eun-Ki had texted her to meet for their rendezvous.

 

Her eyes sweep the room, to find Eun-Ki sitting in the chair at the massive ebony desk, the seat of ultimate corporate power. Behind him, raindrops from a light Spring shower spatter against the windows overlooking Yeouido.

 

"They say that those who succumb to hubris inevitably find their nemesis..."

 

"Not in this case. The vote is a foregone conclusion," he boasts. "Thanks to my foresight in planting a spy in the Yoon's inner circle, I knew every trick in their book before it was played. They failed to flip a single Director!"

 

 

After closing and latching the door, Eun-Hee starts slowly across the room toward the desk, maroon Pierre Cardin raincoat swishing about her knees, planting her pointed-toe Dior stilettos firmly into the thick carpet with each step...

 

With her finger on the black leather sleeved bottle of Jack Daniel's Monogram on the desktop, she circles around to his side and suggests, "Shall we?"

 

"Why not? We have a lot to celebrate."

 

Eun-Hee pours the Tennessee whisky into two shot glasses, hands one to him, then perches herself on the desktop, crossing her legs provocatively.

 

"Cheers!" she toasts.

 

"Gan bei!" he answers back...

 

They touch glasses and toss them back in a single gulp.

 

 

"It feels as good as I always dreamed it would," she remarks, a dreamy smile on her face. "Finally, to have the power to avenge myself on the Yoon's..."

 

"It is good, doesn't it?" he agrees, swiveling the leather upholstered chair slightly to the side so he can look at her more directly. "My first move will be to force Director Yoon's resignation..."

 

"Why make it so easy on him? Humiliation always cuts worse than death," Eun-Hee proffers an alternate with a devious grin. "Demote him to some junior slot, and let Hyung-Chul choose his own poison."

 

"Rather fitting," Eun-Ki nods thoughtfully. "How does Assistant to the Director of Planning and Programming sound? I'll let Yoon Hyung-Chul grovel under the thumb of his former toady, Kim Sun-Dal, the man who ultimately betrayed him."

 

"What a delicious idea!" she concurs, her eyes sparkling enthusiastically.

 

Putting her glass down, she collects his and fills them again, for another round...

 

 

But Eun-Ki's attention has moved on from the alcohol to his original intent for this tryst...

 

Noticing his eyes are fixed on her legs, Eun-Hee adjusts her raincoat to reveal the stocking top and suspender strap of her crossed leg.

 

He reaches over, placing his hand on her knee, and runs it up her thigh...

 

 

But Eun-Hee isn't ready to go there, not quite yet...

 

"Here," she offers his glass back to him. "Have another drink first. There's plenty of time to explore the surprise I have for you today."

 

Eun-Ki takes the glass and leans back in the chair, letting his imagination picture what secrets she might be keeping under wrap...

 

"I heard that Jin Sun-Mi is back, again," Eun-Hee airs her concern stiffly. "I thought you said she was indisposed..."

 

"She's the proverbial cat with nine lives, for certain, but not to worry, I have everything in hand," Eun-Ki counters her disquiet with confident swagger.

 

"You've claimed that before... but she not only laid you up, she almost turned the tables on you with Michael Atwater," Eun-Hee reminds him. "More even than Yoon Hyung-Chul, she's made you a laughingstock... gotten under your skin..."

 

Raising her glass, she tips back her head and downs the shot again in a single swallow...

 

Slamming the empty glass down on the desktop, she declares, "I won't rest comfortably until that bitch is taken out of the picture -- and out of your mind -- completely!"

 

"Why keep obsessing over Jin Sun-Mi? She means nothing to me," he denies the accusation. "Nothing, compared to you."

 

"I wish I could believe that," Eun-Hee grumbles. "But my intuition, when it comes to other women, never lies..."

 

"Trust me... I guarantee that Jin Sun-Mi, along with the Yoon's and their entire ilk, are finished. There's nothing she, or anyone else, can do to stop me now," he brags. "When I defeat her in the vote today, I'll have my revenge, too... We'll see who the laughingstock is then!"

 

"I've never seen you so confident," Eun-Hee marvels. "Like seeing a different man today ..." She flicks her eyes at him, and her voice lowers to a purr. "... and I find that... very attractive ..."

 

 

Catching the hint, Eun-Ki stands up, as Eun-Hee slides off the desk. On 120mm heels, her eyes are almost level with his, and they exchange a long, smouldering gaze before he takes her into his arms and presses a heated kiss onto her lips...

 

"Now, my dear, what about that 'surprise' you promised?" he urges, husky with lust.

 

Eun-Hee takes a step away and turns her back to Eun-Ki. She slowly unfastens each button, deliberately building anticipation, then loosens the belt of her raincoat. Opening the coat, she lets it slip off her bare shoulders...

 

She can feel the laser-intensity of his eyes burning on her, and smiles with self-congratulation ... today, perhaps she will finally beat Jin Sun-Mi too ...

 

Then she releases the raincoat, and lets it drop to the floor...
