Chapter 231 – Take It Off

"Jangju? What's in Jangju?"

The Senior Managing Director's office at Ojeong Textiles, its lights still on.

Im A-hyeon had been going over next winter's fashion trends, worn out; now she focused on a call from the group secretariat.

Her baby sister Yun-a had suddenly come back to Korea.

She hadn't told the family.
