Filing for Love (은밀한 감사)

FILING FOR LOVE

Did you break your heel?

Yes.

You're Director Oh's secretary, right?

What size are you? We're wearing the same shoes.

HAEMU GROUP 2022 REGULAR BOARD MEETING

The human heart

can be so fickle.

I really was grateful.

But the fact that hers was a designer brand

and mine were cheap knockoffs

made me feel conflicted.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

Is Ms. Joo In-a not in today?

She was transferred abroad.

She won't be back for a while.

She had taken one of my knockoffs.

I wonder how she felt about it.

This request is from Finance.

They are customary expenses.

You only need to take a brief look before you approve it.

I'll read it through.

Not all customs are appropriate.

Right.

You can sign the form with this...

Your shoes are nice.

Pardon?

Never mind.

If only.

I had known then what that meant.

I wouldn't have fallen for him.

They say great love is akin to deep resentment.

REPORTING MS. JOO IN-A

Do I love Jeon Jae-yeol?

AND HER SUPERIOR, WHO IS MARRIED

Or do I resent Joo In-a?

Is the rumor about Ms. Joo true?

How's the atmosphere at work?

Do you know anything about this?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

Hello?

Yes, sir.

I understand.

I'm all right

but I don't think my higher-ups are.

I have to go upstairs.

Listen up. You must have a lot to talk about.

It must be frustrating to keep sending messages.

I'll be away for a meeting.

Use your voice freely and talk as much as you want.

But once I return

you must all focus on your tasks.

Do you understand?

J CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL

Do you like this show that much?

Your son is here.

You've been staring at the TV for hours.

REPORTING MS. JOO IN-A

AN INAPPROPRIATE WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIP

How could the audit head find herself in such accusations?

How are they accusations?

They're just one-sided claims by the email sender.

But there's a photo for proof.

What exactly is going on here?

I'm greeting this person warmly.

This isn't the US. No one greets people like this here.

Why would you say something that awkward and old-fashioned?

Let's forget all that and cut to the chase.

So who is it?

Who's the man in the photo that you exchanged greetings with?

Jae-yeol.

Long time no see.

You're in my seat.

Is this Ms. Joo's disciplinary hearing or something?

That's not it, sir.

Then is the whole board grilling an employee

because of one spam email?

Don't you have better things to do?

This is more than enough cause for an emergency meeting.

The whole company's in uproar.

We all got one malicious email that doesn't even have much detail

and the whole board convened because of it.

Isn't that ridiculous?

This report isn't about just anyone.

It's about our head of audit.

Are you defending her because you care about her more than average?

Call the head of HR to my office immediately.

What impeccable timing.

You refused to come in for days

but then you show up as soon as you hear Ms. Joo's in trouble.

I'm saying it's good to see you're back.

I'll call HR right away.

I believe the email was sent to every employee's account.

Search traffic for Ms. Joo

as well as for most male executives has increased significantly.

I believe it's related to this incident.

Ms. Boo.

Emails or posts like these that comment on one's privacy...

Yes, sir.

It wouldn't be a problem if the person followed protocol

and contacted the Audit Team.

But I believe widespread exposure

such as this instance, could carry legal repercussions.

Am I right?

Well, yes.

The person emailed the whole company, so whether it's true or not

it could be grounds for defamation.

If the email was sent from the outside to all employees

it means it's possible the email list was leaked.

For security purposes, we should track the sender.

Right. I'll get IT and the Information Office

to trace the sender's IP.

Call me as soon as you get something.

Yes, sir.

Are you heading home, Ms. Joo?

Is the food to your liking?

Of course, it is.

Rice is our staple food.

You smile easily.

So why are you so stiff in that photo?

You said it was a warm greeting.

You shouldn't jump to conclusions

based on a photo taken in a split second.

I can and will make whatever conclusion I want.

My status allows it.

Whether this will end as a random incident

or turn into a scandal

all depends on what you say next.

I've been watching you, Ms. Joo.

I noticed at the workshop that you'll never side with me.

But it doesn't look like you're on Jae-yeol's side either.

Don't you think it's time to make your intentions clear?

If I take this shot

does that mean I vow to be loyal to you or something?

I'd love to have a big sister like you.

If you know I'm older

then you shouldn't threaten me like this.

You took it as a threat. That's a shame.

I hoped you'd take it as a suggestion.

In that case...

It's a suggestion I must pass on.

What a pity. The drink looked tasty.

Instead

I'll pay for dinner.

I see

she doesn't take me seriously.

HEAD OF AUDIT

AUDIT TEAM HEAD JOO IN-A

Can I help you?

Excuse us, Ms. Joo.

What do you think you're doing?

You can't do this. She's the Head of Audit.

Company regulations say this is my team's job.

This is a refreshing turn of events.

We have Vice President Jeon Sung-yeol's order

to thoroughly investigate the email we received about you.

As you are mentioned in the email.

VP Jeon Sung-yeol's office will carry out the investigation.

What?

What's going on?

I guess I fell victim to company politics.

VP Jeon Sung-yeol hates me.

He said he won't let me off for this unless I side with him.

I said no, of course.

Don't frown. You'll get wrinkles.

You know this is all about politics now, don't you?

No amount of logic or fact will work.

Clench your teeth and hang in there. And when you think you can't...

When you can't...

Then...

Then what?

Are you going to save me like a knight in shining armor?

Shall I?

I'm afraid you'll actually do that.

Don't worry. My career spans years.

If this is how he acts.

I should come up with something more strategic.

What kind of strategy?

You said this is you greeting someone.

Yes, that is true.

Take another good look at the photo and tell me

who that person is.

Gosh. I can't say.

Who was this?

Are you saying you can't remember who it is

you greeted that warmly?

It's not that I can't remember.

I greet so many people in this manner.

I can't tell everyone apart.

I had just returned from a long stint abroad.

I greeted everyone I met like this.

It's like a western-style greeting.

You must know
