The news spread across the country, and the chairwoman, Jung Hyo-sun, also Ban Ju-yeon’s grandmother, learned about it. Ban Ju-yeon both denied the rumors as they had broken up and when the chairwoman asked him to discreetly fire Baek Su-jeong, he convinced her that she was an asset to the company.
At work Baek Su-jeong was concerned about Ban Ju-yeon and went to check on him, but Ban Ju-yeon pretended that he had moved on and they should focus on work. One day, Ban Ju-yeon fell sick and could not make it to work. Baek Su-jeong decided to visit him at his place and learned that despite his poor condition, he was preparing to go to the office so as not to disappoint Jung Hyo-sun.
Baek Su-jeong looked after him, and seeing him sleeping, she confessed she did not want to break up with him. Soon, they mended their feelings and decided to patch up. By the end of My Dearest Nemesis episode 9, it was shown that Ban Ju-yeon was dismissed from the position of director.

He explained that he had done everything for the Yongseong Department Store and would do better in the future.

After being fired from his job, Ban Ju-yeon spent a day with Baek Su-jeong’s brother and father, joined them at work, and cooked food for them, bonding with them. He stayed the night there, and while seeing Baek Su-jeong off the next morning, he promised to never meet her again. As My Dearest Nemesis episode 10 progressed, Baek Su-jeong continued her job at the Yongseong Department Store.

However, Baek Su-jeong also admitted that they were seeing each other. They believed she would not let it slide, as this was unjust towards her, but Baek Su-jeong followed the orders.
Baek Su-jeong, being a skillful person, continued to do her job seamlessly despite people talking badly about her. Jung Hyo-sun called Baek Su-jeong as she was in disbelief as she continued being humiliated. Baek Su-jeong confronted her that she was holding on to this only for Ban Ju-yeon, not because he was the successor but because Jung Hyo-sun was his only family. Baek Su-jeong further said that no other person would put their heart and soul into work like him because all he wanted was Jung Hyo-sun’s acknowledgment.
