Miss Park: Will Mr Lee be there?

Hae Won:(meh)Yes the whole Lee family will be there

Miss Park: And you're not afraid of him

Hae Won: Well the very sight of him disgusts me but I'm not sure if I'm still scared of him.

Miss Park: You're really brave

Hae Won: I have to be...,(hugging her)Good night don't wait up for me

Miss Park: Okay...

Hae Won leaves  giving Miss Park the opportunity she's been waiting for.

Miss Park: If she won't tell me ,I'll have to look for the answers myself

She heads to Hae Wons room and starts looking around but can't seem to find anything. She suddenly gets call

Miss Park:How's the party?

Hae Won :I've just arrived I haven't gone in yet

Miss Park:(nervous)  Awe...I see

Hae Won: Aren't you curious about why I called?

Miss Park:Umm... Why did you call?

Hae Won: I just wanted you make to sure that you put everything back in place,you see I have a system andI hate finding things out of place .

Miss Park:(looking around confused) But how...

Hae Won: Did you actually think I'd leave anything useful in a room of the house in which  I stay with my lying fake mother.

Miss Park: (nervous) Umm...

Hae Won: The answer is No

Miss Park: But

Hae Won :I love you Miss Park, I really do .You're the closest thing I have to a mother l but I just don't trust you.Go get some rest okay.

She hangs up leaving Miss Park dumbfound

Hae Won: That was too predictable.She's really cute to think I'd slip up like her. Time for tonight's show.

She calls Ricky

Hae Won:How is it looking ?

Ricky: I've got eyes on every single guest.

Hae Won :And the Lees

Ricky: They entered a couple minutes a

go with their favourite henchman ofcourse

Hae Won: (jokingly) Mr Lee should just crown him his son already.

Ricky:(laughing) That's not how it works with these rich people, you can never be an equal even if you're as loyal as a dog. Anyway you can make your own grand entrance now

Hae Won: Okay I'm getting out of the car now,I've got the earpiece in.

Ricky: Okay,(shouting) CAN YOU HEAR ME!

Hae Won:(annoyed)  Do you want to make me deaf you little twerp

Ricky: (laughing) Just having a little  fun .

Hae Won:(teasingly)  I'll get my payback.

Ricky :Lol I guess I've just joined the queue of Hae Won's enemies .

Hae Won: Yes so sleep with one eye open

Ricky: You know I don't sleep angel

Hae Won: Aish I'm going in now

Hae Won enters the hall and all eyes are on her

Ricky:(in awe) Woww she looks really pretty.

Hae Won: You realise I can hear you right

He quickly turns the mic off.

Hae Won spots the Lee family and heads the opposite direction as them and starts greeting other guests

Mrs Lee: (meh)She's pretty

Mr Lee:(in awe) She looks like a goddess

Mrs Lee just stares at him

Mr Lee: (nervous )I mean ,imagine if she were our daughterinlaw .

Mrs Lee: Hyun Bin would have to like her for that to happen

Mr Lee: What's not to like

Mrs Lee glares at him

Mr Lee:(defensive) I mean she's from a good family.

Mrs Lee: Just because she's from a good family doesn't mean shes worthy of my precious boy.

Hyun Bin :Well aren't you  sweet, let me take my queen to the dance floor.Excuse me dad ,shall we

They go off to the dance floor and start to waltz.

Mrs Lee: Don't  worry I won't let your father push that poor girl on you

Hyun Bin :This time don't fight it ,I actually like her already.

Mrs Lee: (surprised) You do?

Hyun Bin: Yes I dont know what it is about her but I just really like her.Im oddly drawn to her .

Mrs Lee:(intrigued)  You've never spoken about any girl like that

Hyun Bin: Well she's not just any girl.

Mrs Lee: Now I'm really excited to meet her

Hyun Bin: You'll like her for sure,but dont  tell dad .You know I hate pleasing him

Mrs Lee: This will be our little secret.

MEANWHILE....

Mr Lee: Aish she looks like a real woman  today.Maybe I should've left my wife at home

Sung-jin:(meh)Well it's bit too late for that

Mr Lee: What a pity, I'd like to get a piece of that pie .

Sung jin: (meh)At this rate you won't even get the crumbs

Mr Lee: Aish will you stop shooting me down,I already regret bringing her here.

Sung-jin: Shall I take her home?

Mr Lee: You know she won't leave without me ,I can atleast admire little Miss Park Yeona from a distance.

Sung-jin: Okay then sir.

Mr Lee: (annoyed) Why would she greet those people before me,they are all beneath me

Sung jin: Maybe she doesn't care about class

Mr Lee: That's nonsense.

Sung jin: You asked I just replied sir.

Mr Lee: You're getting more and more ignorant by the day. Soon you'll  be  like that fool Hyun Bin

Sung jin: You know I could never do that to you sir

Mr Lee: I hope so.

Hae Won goes on the stage to make an announcement

Hae Won: I'd like to thank you all for coming here to show your support for these people.........................Without further ado I would like to unveil this screen of ours.

A huge screen pops up from behind

Hae Won: This will show just how much we're making and also who is donating .The most generous soul will get a special mention and maybe a prize for all their efforts . So LET'S GET DONATING!

As soon as she finishes saying her speech people are already donating, most of them trying to one-up each other .Suddenly a new guest arrives drawing everyone's attention.
