00:00A girl never expected intimate photos of her and her secret husband to appear on the company
00:03intranet. The comments section was full of nasty remarks. Some said she seduced her boss to get a
00:08promotion. Others accused Mike of abusing his power. The harsh words and stares from co-workers
00:13made Anna feel humiliated and helpless. She didn't know how to handle it. Lisa comforted her and led
00:18her away from the scene. The scandal was actually caused by Mike's rival Mr. Xing. He was fired for
00:23misconduct but instead of reflecting on himself he blamed Mike. Out of spite he posted photos of
00:27Mike and Anna hugging on the company intranet. Mike was called into the bank president's office
00:31and the president was furious. Just yesterday John and Lisa were exposed for having an affair and now
00:35Mike was in another scandal. To contain the damage the president demanded Anna resign immediately.
00:40Mike refused without hesitation. He knew what this job meant to Anna. Mike took all the blame and said
00:45he should be the one to leave. He even volunteered to transfer to the worst performing branch in Nan
00:49Nan County. Lisa patiently talked to Anna and encouraged her to stay. Anna was still worried
00:54and said staying would only invite more gossip. Lisa told her as long as she stayed strong she could
00:58handle it. Lisa pointed out how harsh the workplace was toward women. Since the workplace wasn't kind
01:03to women they didn't need to be kind back. A job was the foundation of independence and the most
01:07important thing now was to keep it. She also warned Anna that the road ahead would be tough and she
01:11needed to be ready. John was hanging his marriage certificate with Lisa when he complained that Anna
01:15kept such a big secret from him. Thinking about it hurt him so he held Lisa's hand and said what
01:19hurt
01:19most was that she knew too. They had been together so long and he had given her everything yet she
01:23kept this from him. Lisa said telling him was like telling the whole world. Anna quietly decided to
01:27resign and flipped through her work notebook. The pages were full of her hard work and progress.
01:32She thought about the past eight months from a rookie to getting promoted to finding her own
01:35clients. She realized she truly loved her work and was no longer just a job but something she was
01:39genuinely passionate about. But with all the rumors she chose to give up her passion to protect Mike's
01:44future. The next day Anna went to work and told Lisa she had her resignation ready.
01:48She didn't think Mike would accept it so she planned to give it directly to the president.
01:51Just then Mike walked in and announced something shocking. Today was his last day at work.
01:55Anna was upset and pulled Mike into the stairwell demanding why he made that decision alone.
01:59She said she should be the one leaving and accused him of ignoring their agreement.
02:03Mike said everything started with him. His choices had dragged Anna into this mess.
02:07All the blame and consequences should be his to bear. Mike comforted her saying the transfer
02:11wasn't a bad thing. Only by working at the grassroots level and gaining enough experience could he
02:15return to headquarters with confidence and give her a stable and honest future.
02:19Hearing that Anna slowly accepted his decision to leave.
