00:00:00 (rain pattering)

00:00:02 - Hey, are you okay?

00:00:10 It's snowing heavily out there.

00:00:12 - I have nowhere to go.

00:00:14 - Come in, we'll catch a cold.

00:00:18 I'm James, by the way.

00:00:20 - Hello.

00:00:21 Thank you.

00:00:29 (rain pattering)

00:00:31 You can use this to warm yourself up.

00:00:33 And I've got some spare clothes too if you need.

00:00:36 - Thank you, James.

00:00:37 Thank you for everything.

00:00:39 - I hope you're feeling a tad better.

00:00:42 I hope you don't mind my curiosity.

00:00:49 I know we've only just met,

00:00:51 but why were you in the snow like that?

00:00:57 - It's a long story.

00:00:59 A story of love and betrayal.

00:01:01 - If you're up to tell it, I'm up to listen.

00:01:08 - Thank you, James.

00:01:10 - Sometimes a warm cup of tea can make everything

00:01:14 a bit better.

00:01:15 - Thank you for being so kind to a stranger.

00:01:17 - No problem at all.

00:01:18 I think from now on,

00:01:20 we're not gonna be strangers anymore.

00:01:23 - It all started with snow.

00:01:26 The reason I ended up in the snow

00:01:28 is because of the snow.

00:01:30 How ironic.

00:01:31 (gentle music)

00:01:36 Mind if I join you?

00:01:39 - Oh, not at all, please.

00:01:41 - We got caught up in the snow, huh?

00:01:46 - Yeah.

00:01:47 Quite honest, I believe romantic, don't you think?

00:01:50 - I always thought that snow just brings wonders

00:01:53 into this world, don't you think?

00:01:55 - Yeah, definitely.

00:01:56 It's like looking at a world from a different lens.

00:02:01 - You're not trying to flirt with me, are you?

00:02:03 - No, I mean, yeah.

00:02:04 But if I am, is it working?

00:02:07 - I don't know.

00:02:08 If you were me, would it work on you?

00:02:12 - It would if I do this.

00:02:14 - Why don't you ask for my number then?

00:02:19 I mean, only if you wanted to, of course.

00:02:21 - Appreciate it.

00:02:22 By the way.

00:02:24 - Noah, nice meeting you.

00:02:26 - Nice to meet you too.

00:02:28 Maybe, you know, just maybe,

00:02:30 it's the start of something beautiful.

00:02:33 - I just love moments like that.

00:02:40 It's me, you, and the warmth of the sun.

00:02:43 - Yeah, I love them too.

00:02:45 And since you belong to my life,

00:02:48 everything seems to be in the right place.

00:02:51 Now, there's something I'm meaning to ask you,

00:02:54 and that's been on my mind for a while.

00:02:56 - What is it, Jaden?

00:02:58 - Oh, this was so easy in the mirror.

00:03:00 Well, since we met in the night,

00:03:03 under the snow,

00:03:06 it's been like a dream.

00:03:09 You've made me the happiest man.

00:03:12 You brought joy in my life.

00:03:15 And--

00:03:16 - I'm not doing the dishes for you, Jaden.

00:03:18 - Can you be serious for one minute, please?

00:03:20 - And I'm not doing the laundry either.

00:03:22 - Aw, well, you won't have any choice after this,

00:03:25 but I'll help you out as much as I can.

00:03:28 Anyway, I want to ask you is,

00:03:30 if you wanna be with me

00:03:35 and spend the rest of my life with me,

00:03:38 and would you make me the happiest man alive

00:03:42 and be my wife?

00:03:44 - Jaden?

00:03:46 - Yeah.

00:03:50 - Jaden, I love you so much.

00:03:52 More than the words can't explain,

00:03:57 would you be my wife?

00:03:58 - Yes, yes, yes, I would, I would.

00:04:01 - I love you.

00:04:04 - I love you too.

00:04:05 (sobbing)

00:04:07 I'm sorry.

00:04:19 - You're in.

00:04:20 - Oh, my beautiful wife.

00:04:23 (laughing)

00:04:26 - How about I cook you a homemade breakfast this morning?

00:04:33 - Sounds good.

00:04:34 You're a good chef.

00:04:38 - Uh, is that supposed to be a compliment?

00:04:40 We both know how terrible I cook.

00:04:42 - It's true.

00:04:44 - No, you're just being mean.

00:04:45 - Remember the first day we cooked dinner together?

00:04:48 We almost burned it.

00:04:50 - We had fun.

00:04:51 - Yeah, we did have fun, it was a lot of fun.

00:04:54 - I can't believe we're actually, like, married now.

00:04:57 - I know, right?

00:04:58 - We're husband and wife.

00:05:00 - Right, who would've thought a girl under the snow

00:05:04 would end up to be my beautiful wife

00:05:07 and cooking burnt dinners?

00:05:10 - Yeah, I thought you were just trying

00:05:12 to flirt with me and leave.

00:05:14 I can't believe that you actually kept up

00:05:16 with all my craziness and married me.

00:05:18 - Well, Mrs. Phillips, I guess I have to keep up

00:05:22 with your craziness for the rest of my life.

00:05:25 - Well, I hope you can, Mr. Phillips.

00:05:29 - I will.

00:05:29 What about the breakfast?

00:05:37 - Yeah, let's order and write up a cookie.

00:05:41 - Okay.

00:05:42 - How could you do this to me, Jaden?

00:05:47 How could you betray us?

00:05:49 - It's not a big deal, Iva.

00:05:50 - It's not a big deal?

00:05:52 You cheated on me!

00:05:54 - Look, it's not a big deal.

00:05:57 People change.

00:05:58 - So what?

00:06:00 People change and they go to a therapist

00:06:01 and they talk about their issues.

00:06:03 They don't just go and do it with another woman.

00:06:05 - I tried, we tried, it didn't work.

00:06:07 It was a wake-up call, just take it.

00:06:10 - You'd be so insensitive.

00:06:11 Everything we had, it means nothing to you?

00:06:14 - You're putting too much faith in us, okay?

00:06:17 I cannot believe you're being so insensitive right now.

00:06:20 You are not the man I married!

00:06:22 - Stop shouting!

00:06:24 - I can't believe what you did.

00:06:30 Are you acting crazy?

00:06:32 - Call me crazy one more time and see what happens.

00:06:35 - What happens?

00:06:36 What happens?

00:06:37 Will you go and cheat on me again?

00:06:39 Is that what will happen?

00:06:41 - Maybe I will again, what then, huh?

00:06:43 What can you do?

00:06:44 - Get out!

00:06:45 - I'm gonna go and see you before I do something bad.

00:06:48 - Don't come back here again!

00:06:51 Again?

00:07:02 How can you do this to me again?

00:07:04 - First, why are you going through my home?

00:07:08 - How is that even your question?

00:07:10 How is that even the issue here?

00:07:13 - I didn't ask you to go through this shit, okay?

00:07:16 - What are you saying?

00:07:17 You're saying that you don't love me anymore?

00:07:20 - Stop kidding me with that bullshit again, okay?

00:07:23 I didn't ask any of this.

00:07:24 - I gave up everything and I followed you

00:07:27 just because I loved you.

00:07:30 - Stop with this victim card!

00:07:33 - What victim card?

00:07:35 I thought we were a team, Jaden!

00:07:37 - Look, every time you're pretending you're perfect

00:07:41 and you don't make any mistakes,

00:07:43 well, everyone has to kiss your ass!

00:07:46 - When did I ever say that?

00:07:48 All I did was fight for you, for us!

00:07:51 - I didn't ask you for this, okay?

00:07:55 You know what?

00:07:56 I don't have time for this.

00:07:59 I want you to leave.

00:08:01 - Leave?

00:08:02 Leave where?

00:08:03 - I don't care!

00:08:05 Go sleep on the side road for all I care, okay?

00:08:09 - I found someone else.

00:08:11 She's coming over and I love her.

00:08:13 You can't stay here tonight.

00:08:14 - What?

00:08:15 - Get the fuck out of here!

00:08:21 Leave!

00:08:21 - I can't believe this.

00:08:23 - I don't love you anymore!

00:08:36 - I saw you and Whitney wandering down the street.

00:08:39 I was so confused.

00:08:41 I had nowhere to go and nobody to go to.

00:08:44 I was just really, really sad.

00:08:49 - I'm sorry you had to go through all that.

00:08:53 - Jaden, he kicked me out and he broke my heart.

00:08:57 - Liza, that's awful.

00:09:00 Do you have a place to stay?

00:09:01 - I have nowhere to go.

00:09:04 - It's an awful thing to experience.

00:09:07 But I bet you're stronger than you think.

00:09:10 - I'm not strong.

00:09:11 I just want to end it all here and now.

00:09:17 - I can assure you it's just a phase.

00:09:19 It'll pass.

00:09:20 - You don't even know me.

00:09:22 I just told my complete life story to a stranger.

00:09:26 I'm not strong.

00:09:29 I dropped my sanity now.

00:09:32 - I know it's quite a peculiar situation

00:09:34 you found yourself in.

00:09:35 But you don't have to see it that way.

00:09:38 Remember, we're not strangers anymore, okay?

00:09:40 - Thank you, James.

00:09:41 If it wasn't for your help,

00:09:42 I'd probably still be on the street.

00:09:45 It was just so sudden, you know?

00:09:47 I didn't see it coming at all.

00:09:50 - Well, look, Lila.

00:09:51 If you need a place to stay, my apartment has a spare room.

00:09:56 You can stay there until you figure things out.

00:09:59 - Are you sure?

00:10:00 - Yeah, I have no money to pay you rent.

00:10:04 - So you don't see it as a burden.

00:10:05 How about this?

00:10:06 I own a little restaurant.

00:10:08 We work there until you gain ground.

00:10:11 My customers tend to be lovely too.

00:10:13 - Thank you, James.

00:10:15 I really appreciate it.

00:10:16 - You'll love to be at the restaurant.

00:10:20 - I'm sure I will.

00:10:21 Wow.

00:10:26 James did tell me this restaurant

00:10:28 is pretty much like a palace.

00:10:30 - Well, I like the music, guys.

00:10:32 Come on, let's take you to the bar, shall we?

00:10:35 This is where the art of tasting good food is preserved.

00:10:39 - Wow, impressive.

00:10:41 Look at this interior.

00:10:43 - And the heart of this whole operation is the kitchen.

00:10:48 - It's so clean here, I love it.

00:10:50 Everybody is so hardworking.

00:10:53 - Yeah, the folks on the family,

00:10:55 we work hard, but we play even harder.

00:10:58 - Come on, let's have a seat.

00:11:01 And here are the friendly faces

00:11:06 that make sure our guests have a wonderful experience.

00:11:11 - It's so nice.

00:11:12 - Yeah, we strive for excellence,

00:11:14 both in the kitchen and in the decor.

00:11:16 I'm very glad you think so too.

00:11:19 - Who would have thought, James?

00:11:20 You put a lot of thought into this.

00:11:22 - Yeah, I mean, I just thought about it, right?

00:11:23 The one thing that people continue to do

00:11:25 throughout their lives is eat.

00:11:27 So I invested all my time and money,

00:11:29 and here we are now.

00:11:31 So Lila, you can either work the morning shifts

00:11:34 or the evening shifts.

00:11:35 There will be a lunch break, dinner break,

00:11:37 depending on which shifts you work.

00:11:40 And your tips are yours to keep.

00:11:42 And sometimes you'll make a little bit extra

00:11:44 depending on how much sales you make every day.

00:11:46 Any questions, anything else you'd like to know?

00:11:49 - Yeah, I was actually wondering

00:11:50 if I can work both day shifts and night shifts.

00:11:54 I mean, I just need somebody to occupy my days

00:11:56 to just keep my mind off things, you know?

00:12:00 - Yeah, seriously, I thought you were gonna ask me

00:12:02 where the ladies room was.

00:12:03 Absolutely, you can, but don't hurt yourself.

00:12:06 Don't get crushed under the weight of your own problems.

00:12:09 Okay?

00:12:10 - Thank you, James.

00:12:11 Thanks for everything.

00:12:12 - She's everything I never was and will continue to be.

00:12:18 - Maybe we're not meant to be for each other.

00:12:20 People change.

00:12:21 - Stop with this victim card!

00:12:23 - Yeah, well, you're better than the rest of us.

00:12:26 - He didn't do any of that.

00:12:28 How could he do this to me?

00:12:30 And for what?

00:12:32 He just thinks that he is the best thing that ever existed.

00:12:35 No, I can't let him get away with this.

00:12:38 He is going to pay for everything.

00:12:41 Come on, Lila, who are you kidding?

00:12:44 What can you do?

00:12:47 He has a new woman, a good job, a house, good life.

00:12:53 And you?

00:12:55 You have nothing.

00:12:56 I'm just gonna end it all right here.

00:12:58 I just want this pain to end.

00:13:02 - Open this door, I'm gonna break it down.

00:13:06 Don't go crazy in there, all right?

00:13:11 I know you're going through a lot right now,

00:13:13 but you don't have to hurt yourself.

00:13:15 I know how strong you are,

00:13:17 and you can show him how strong you are.

00:13:19 Please, you don't have to do this.

00:13:21 - Sorry.

00:13:23 Why do I have to die?

00:13:25 I didn't do anything wrong.

00:13:26 I have to make a plan.

00:13:29 Step one, gain power and influence.

00:13:38 Step two, infiltrate his business empire.

00:13:43 Find his weaknesses and exploit them.

00:13:47 Step three, bring him to his knees.

00:13:51 (laughing)

00:13:53 - Good evening, sir.

00:14:00 Are you here to support us?

00:14:01 - Yes, I am.

00:14:03 I'll have seven on the side of the stairs.

00:14:04 - Certainly.

00:14:05 Anything else for you?

00:14:06 - No, that's all.

00:14:08 You can call me Alex, if you like.

00:14:10 - Unfortunately, we do not address customers

00:14:13 by their names, sir.

00:14:15 - You don't have to break away at this place,

00:14:17 but I think it's the first time I've seen you

00:14:18 to let you hear.

00:14:21 First, thank you for the compliment.

00:14:23 Second, I really shouldn't be talking this long.

00:14:26 And then third, I've been working here for a while

00:14:29 and I haven't seen you either.

00:14:30 - I was away on my business trip.

00:14:32 It's okay.

00:14:33 You can ask James.

00:14:34 He's a friend of mine, too.

00:14:35 Alex!

00:14:37 - Hi, how can I help you?

00:14:40 - Very good.

00:14:41 - Nice to meet you.

00:14:42 - How was everything?

00:14:43 - It was good, it was good.

00:14:45 My trip, everything was fine.

00:14:46 You know, somebody's got to take care of the business.

00:14:49 - Yeah, and did you include his exceptional beauty?

00:14:51 It's the first time I see her.

00:14:54 - Oh, Lionel?

00:14:55 She's a good friend of mine.

00:14:57 She won't be here for long.

00:14:58 She's just here because of a rather peculiar situation

00:15:02 she's found herself in.

00:15:03 - Your asparagus and salmon choice, sir.

00:15:09 - Introduce us, please.

00:15:11 - Sorry, where are my manners?

00:15:13 Alex, Lionel.

00:15:14 Lionel, Alex.

00:15:16 - Nice to meet you, Lionel.

00:15:18 I have a feeling we may become very close friends.

00:15:20 - I gotta take care of something in my kitchen.

00:15:24 (Lionel sighs)

00:15:30 - Thank you, James, for your kind words.

00:15:33 It really means the world to me.

00:15:34 - You're a natural, Lionel.

00:15:36 The customers love you,

00:15:37 and I'm very happy to have you at the restaurant.

00:15:41 - Steph, they're just so nice.

00:15:44 They always help me and show me around.

00:15:46 It's incredible.

00:15:47 I mean, really, I can't thank you enough.

00:15:49 You're housing me, you're feeding me.

00:15:52 If it wasn't for you, I'd probably be dead by now.

00:15:54 - Don't say that, Lionel.

00:15:57 You can and will get your life back on track.

00:16:01 I know it.

00:16:02 - Thank you, James.

00:16:04 - Don't mention it.

00:16:06 You really have to stop thanking me at this point, Lionel.

00:16:09 I've told you many times, it's nothing.

00:16:12 You're smart, you're beautiful,

00:16:14 and with or without me,

00:16:15 you're gonna get your life back on track soon.

00:16:18 - It means the world to me.

00:16:20 You're basically like my family now, since I have none.

00:16:23 - Ah, he's old, you know.

00:16:25 Don't mention it.

00:16:27 But if you insist, I guess you could call me big brother?

00:16:31 (laughs)

00:16:32 Speaking of good luck, Tron,

00:16:34 Alexander, it's been a while since I've seen him.

00:16:38 Loyal customer, though.

00:16:41 - Yeah, Alexander.

00:16:43 Who is he exactly?

00:16:45 - He's a wealthy businessman.

00:16:47 A well-known city elite.

00:16:49 We became friends after he came

00:16:51 to my restaurant so frequently.

00:16:54 - Well, I'm very happy that you got to see him again.

00:16:57 What does he do exactly?

00:16:59 - He has multiple different business ventures

00:17:03 and quite successful at that.

00:17:05 - Interesting.

00:17:06 Do you think he could get me a job?

00:17:08 - I guess there's only one way to know.

00:17:11 You'll just have to ask him yourself and see.

00:17:13 - Big brother?

00:17:14 Let's see what Alexander can do.

00:17:19 - You know, I found out something.

00:17:25 Someone told me that you ran into Lila at the restaurant.

00:17:30 - Lila, the ex-wife?

00:17:32 - Yeah, and you know, she's working there as a waitress.

00:17:35 Can you imagine that?

00:17:36 - Well, people gotta do what they gotta do.

00:17:39 It's a bit hard out there, isn't it?

00:17:41 - You're too kind, baby,

00:17:43 but I don't know the best part.

00:17:44 She's a total mess.

00:17:46 I mean, I kinda did her a favor

00:17:48 by putting her out of my life.

00:17:49 - Why are you mentioning your ex-wife to me?

00:17:53 Am I a little bit disrespectful?

00:17:56 - I just thought maybe you should just know

00:17:58 what you're dealing with.

00:18:00 - Well, I don't know why you're complaining.

00:18:01 You married her, so why don't you go figure it out?

00:18:04 - Just so you know, she is nothing comparing to you, okay?

00:18:10 You have nothing to worry about.

00:18:12 - Well, if you have nothing to hide,

00:18:14 why don't you get her address from your little friend

00:18:18 and we'll go and say hi.

00:18:19 - Don't speak like that.

00:18:20 Why would I do that?

00:18:22 I love you to pieces.

00:18:23 If anything, I've let her go because of you,

00:18:26 for you, actually, okay?

00:18:29 I would do anything for you.

00:18:31 - Why do you make it sound like you did me a favor?

00:18:34 - It's nothing like that, okay?

00:18:36 If anything, I'm the luckiest guy for having you, okay?

00:18:40 I will do anything for you.

00:18:42 (gentle music)

00:18:44 - You know that!

00:18:46 You're playing with me!

00:18:48 Oh my God.

00:18:49 - It's not like you have a choice, do you?

00:18:51 - I don't. - No.

00:18:52 - No.

00:18:53 (both laughing)

00:18:56 - Here is your salmon with grilled asparagus,

00:18:59 just as you like it, sir.

00:19:01 - Thank you, Lila, very intensive.

00:19:04 Care to join me for a moment?

00:19:05 - I can't, I'm working and it's against the rules.

00:19:12 - I'm sure Jim's well-minded.

00:19:14 I can ask him right now if you want.

00:19:16 Sure?

00:19:17 - No, no, no, no need.

00:19:18 Just for a moment, I guess.

00:19:20 - Would you like to order something?

00:19:23 - I am quite a gentleman,

00:19:24 but there is no need to share this single plate of meal,

00:19:27 isn't it?

00:19:28 - I'm a little bit uncomfortable.

00:19:32 I feel like everybody's working and I'm just lounging around.

00:19:35 - I understand.

00:19:36 How about I ask Jim about giving everybody a lunch break?

00:19:41 A meal, of course.

00:19:42 Would that make you comfortable?

00:19:44 - I don't think that's necessary.

00:19:46 It's a little bit too much.

00:19:47 - No, no, no, not at all.

00:19:49 I just hope you will be feeling comfortable.

00:19:51 - Yes, thank you.

00:19:54 - That's nice.

00:19:55 So let's talk about it.

00:19:57 About what brought you here.

00:20:00 What happened to you?

00:20:01 I want to know your story.

00:20:02 - That is very personal, I'm afraid.

00:20:05 - Fair enough.

00:20:10 Well, what about your plans to the,

00:20:13 towards the future?

00:20:14 - I don't normally share my plans with strangers.

00:20:17 - Quite interesting.

00:20:20 You do have ambitions

00:20:23 and you know how to keep your secrets.

00:20:25 I like that.

00:20:26 That's the mystery.

00:20:28 - I guess.

00:20:30 - I know, Jim, he wouldn't tell me anything about you.

00:20:34 So I only asked myself, so sorry for the pressure.

00:20:38 - At least if it's not obvious enough.

00:20:40 I do like you, Lila.

00:20:44 James, I hope you don't mind,

00:20:50 but I had to borrow Lila for a moment.

00:20:52 - What do you mean you borrowed her?

00:20:53 She's a human adult with a mind of her own.

00:20:56 Except you did take her during working hours, though.

00:20:58 - She didn't even want to sit with me

00:21:00 until I mentioned your name.

00:21:02 And only then she agreed.

00:21:03 So please give all your workers

00:21:05 free meal and a lunch break.

00:21:06 That's the only condition she'll feel comfortable

00:21:08 with sitting with me here.

00:21:09 - Lila, you must be a good log trump or something.

00:21:13 Thank you, I almost...

00:21:15 - Not a big deal.

00:21:17 It's just something mysterious about Lila.

00:21:20 You know, I can't really figure her out.

00:21:22 - Yeah, I mean, Lila, she's been through a lot

00:21:26 and she's a private person.

00:21:29 Be careful not to pry too much.

00:21:32 - Why not?

00:21:33 I find mystery intriguing.

00:21:36 - Because, my friend,

00:21:37 some mysteries are better left unsolved.

00:21:40 And you never know what you might uncover.

00:21:42 - Well, what is she?

00:21:45 A secret drug lord?

00:21:46 An assassin killer?

00:21:47 Spy?

00:21:48 - I highly doubt that.

00:21:51 But seriously, she's a private person

00:21:53 and she's been through a lot.

00:21:56 - But I already told her, I'll make her.

00:21:58 - What'd she say?

00:21:59 - She didn't really reply to me.

00:22:03 - Well, just take it slow, Alex.

00:22:04 You barely know anything about her.

00:22:06 - Yeah.

00:22:07 But you know, as the time goes by,

00:22:11 I eventually will, won't I?

00:22:13 - Yeah, we'll just have to see, won't we?

00:22:16 - I have to apologize in advance, James.

00:22:20 I might be stealing your good luck charm from you.

00:22:22 - Alexander, he might be the key,

00:22:32 but how do I let him help me?

00:22:36 - We need to find out more about him.

00:22:39 Our next meeting is crucial.

00:22:42 - I need to play my cards right.

00:22:46 Is he the key out of my misery?

00:22:51 - I refuse to believe that he's just a coincidence.

00:22:54 - Get me.

00:22:55 I can't have her sleep.

00:23:01 - I'm just a woman getting closer to it.

00:23:03 - Jayden, I thought you could break me,

00:23:06 but I'm coming for you.

00:23:08 - Thanks to Alexander, I'm one step closer.

00:23:10 - You won't even see it coming.

00:23:15 You and your mistress will crumble,

00:23:18 just like you did to my dreams, our dreams.

00:23:21 Little do you know,

00:23:25 you just created a stronger version of Lila

00:23:30 who haunts you every step of the way.

00:23:33 It's time to take control of my destiny.

00:23:38 - There's no more being evicted.

00:23:42 There's no more tears.

00:23:43 - I will rebuild what you destroyed, Jayden,

00:23:49 and I'll make you pay every step of the way.

00:23:54 - I'll dance in the shadows.

00:23:56 - We'll play the game.

00:23:59 - Even when the time is right, I will strike.

00:24:03 - You have no place being happy.

00:24:08 - Just as you've taken everything I have away from me,

00:24:11 I will do the same to you.

00:24:13 - You won't even know what will hit you, Jayden.

00:24:16 It will just happen.

00:24:18 You won't even know it will.

00:24:27 - This city will witness my transformation, Jayden.

00:24:31 You won't even recognize the woman who once loved you.

00:24:34 The table's gonna turn, and I have all the cards.

00:24:39 - Here you go, Alex.

00:24:48 - Thank you, Lila.

00:24:49 - Is everything okay?

00:24:52 - We'll take a seat, we need some.

00:24:54 - All right.

00:24:57 What's on your mind?

00:24:58 - I want to know more about you, your story.

00:25:02 - As I've told you before, my story is a personal matter.

00:25:08 You don't have to worry about anything.

00:25:09 It's not like I'm gonna run or anything.

00:25:11 - I know you're not ready to share your story yet.

00:25:15 How about you just go with me?

00:25:17 My work is my signature.

00:25:19 It is what's mine.

00:25:20 - What makes you think that I'd be interested

00:25:24 in working for you, or being your mistress?

00:25:27 - You're just wasting your talent here.

00:25:31 I can give you another life, a life of luxury.

00:25:34 - All right, but what about James?

00:25:40 I can't just leave him, he's done a lot for me.

00:25:42 - Yeah, that's true.

00:25:44 But I'm sure he won't mind it.

00:25:46 He's a nice guy.

00:25:47 An adult man and woman can decide to be together,

00:25:51 as partners, of course.

00:25:54 - Okay, I'll let him know.

00:25:56 I'll come work for you.

00:25:58 But do you trust me?

00:25:59 - Sure, I do.

00:26:00 - Hey, Amanda, everything all right?

00:26:08 - Yeah, what's up?

00:26:09 - You know you don't have to go, right?

00:26:12 You can stay.

00:26:14 - Thank you, James, but I really don't have

00:26:16 much of a choice.

00:26:17 - You're just leaving when you really want?

00:26:19 I mean, the restaurant is doing nice,

00:26:22 and you're a crucial part of the team.

00:26:25 - I'm sure.

00:26:27 I want to put pieces of my life back together.

00:26:29 - Yeah, I understand.

00:26:30 Big Bro will be here if you need anything.

00:26:34 - Thank you so much, James.

00:26:36 I mean, Big Bro.

00:26:37 You're literally like my family now.

00:26:40 I just can't thank you enough.

00:26:42 - Hello, James.

00:26:46 - Alex.

00:26:47 Take good care of her, all right?

00:26:49 - Don't worry, I'm gonna treat her well.

00:26:52 - Hello, pretty lady.

00:26:54 Ready to go?

00:26:55 - I'm ready.

00:26:57 Consider this my official resignation.

00:26:59 And whenever it snows, I'll take a game.

00:27:02 - That'd be fun.

00:27:04 Now, off you go before I change my mind.

00:27:10 Quick, quick!

00:27:11 (gentle music)

00:27:14 - Welcome to your new home, Lila.

00:27:29 - Wow, this is incredible.

00:27:32 - It is, I'm glad you know.

00:27:35 Jimmy, I...

00:27:36 Here are the keys to both your apartments

00:27:41 and a car downstairs.

00:27:42 Consider it the symbol of love.

00:27:44 - Your love?

00:27:47 - Yes, Lila.

00:27:48 Take a seat.

00:27:49 I own a very successful business.

00:27:53 And it comes with a lot of responsibilities

00:27:55 and, unfortunately, a lack of trust

00:27:57 in the people around me.

00:27:59 - What do you mean?

00:28:00 - I mean, I need someone I can trust.

00:28:03 Someone discreet.

00:28:05 That's where exactly you come on stage.

00:28:07 - Me?

00:28:08 What do you want me to do?

00:28:11 - I need you to become my eyes and ears.

00:28:13 There's something suspicious going on

00:28:16 and I want you to track it for me.

00:28:17 - You want me to keep records for you?

00:28:20 - Exactly.

00:28:22 I need someone who can mingle with my staff

00:28:23 and find out all the secrets.

00:28:26 That's gonna be you.

00:28:27 - Me, but like, what makes you think that I can do that?

00:28:31 - Good question.

00:28:32 Let's just say I see something inside of you.

00:28:35 Not just strength, but also determination.

00:28:38 And I want to get it.

00:28:39 I don't want to be the one to hinder this.

00:28:41 - Well, I'll try and do my best.

00:28:43 - Well, business calls.

00:28:50 We'll talk more about it later.

00:28:52 First, get yourself comfortable.

00:28:54 I'll send you home.

00:28:55 - Alexander, what makes you think that I can do this?

00:28:57 I literally have no experience in the corporate world

00:29:00 and I...

00:29:01 - You know, for the person like me,

00:29:03 it's very important to read people.

00:29:06 Even though I don't know your story,

00:29:07 I can see you're worthy of my trust.

00:29:10 And I see you can handle this.

00:29:12 You can call it a bait or something,

00:29:15 but I think that's the whole point

00:29:16 why I met you at the gym's place.

00:29:18 You can help me.

00:29:19 On the other hand, I would be very happy

00:29:22 to support a woman I like.

00:29:23 Get yourself comfortable.

00:29:26 Welcome to the heart of my business, Lila.

00:29:34 You'll be working here as a secretary,

00:29:37 but your real work will be underground.

00:29:39 Keep an eye on any shady doings.

00:29:41 - I understand.

00:29:44 I'll do my best.

00:29:45 - There is the money laundering

00:29:47 that should annoy me a lot.

00:29:48 Unfortunately, it looks like it's been going on

00:29:51 quite a while now,

00:29:52 so your first task will be finding out what's going on

00:29:54 and reporting it to me.

00:29:56 Whatever it is, just inform me.

00:29:58 - Understood.

00:30:00 - Now, Lila,

00:30:02 should we be talking about some...

00:30:05 - Some deeper layers.

00:30:07 - And those deeper layers are?

00:30:09 - You know already now that I like you

00:30:13 and admire you as a woman.

00:30:15 Really.

00:30:16 I want you to be my woman.

00:30:18 But I'm not forcing you.

00:30:21 Come to me whenever you're ready.

00:30:23 I'm not rushing.

00:30:24 - I understand what is needed of me professionally,

00:30:28 and I'll make sure to deliver beyond that,

00:30:30 but I cannot be your woman.

00:30:33 I mean, you don't even know me.

00:30:34 You don't know my story.

00:30:35 You don't know where I came from.

00:30:37 - I want to be your woman.

00:30:39 So if you let me,

00:30:41 I want to share everything that I have with you.

00:30:44 - You can't help me with anything.

00:30:47 So for now, let me help you with your business.

00:30:50 I'm going to be your eyes and ears in this company,

00:30:54 and I'll make sure to tell you

00:30:55 about anything shady that's going on.

00:30:58 Deal?

00:30:59 - All right.

00:31:02 (dramatic music)

00:31:05 I'll give you the access to all the records

00:31:07 so you can get the information you need,

00:31:09 but the information is power,

00:31:11 so be careful with it.

00:31:13 - Oh, and by the way,

00:31:14 could we keep the fact that we live together

00:31:18 away from the staff?

00:31:19 I want them to trust me.

00:31:21 You know, I don't want them to think

00:31:22 that I got this job just because of you,

00:31:25 which is true.

00:31:26 I just want them to respect me.

00:31:28 - Sure, and I do respect your opinion.

00:31:31 - Thank you.

00:31:32 Step one, in motion.

00:31:47 (phone ringing)

00:31:53 - Yes?

00:31:55 - Hi, I got a job for you.

00:31:57 Are you up for it?

00:31:58 - Depends on the job.

00:32:00 I want you to follow someone.

00:32:02 I want you to report everything she does,

00:32:04 where she goes, what she eats,

00:32:06 who she hangs out with,

00:32:08 everything you do.

00:32:10 - (laughs) That's a heavy task.

00:32:13 Are you sure about this?

00:32:14 - I'm sure.

00:32:15 If you can do your part,

00:32:17 I'm ready to pay you very handsomely.

00:32:19 Just don't get caught.

00:32:21 - Of course I can.

00:32:22 Give me the details.

00:32:24 I need to know.

00:32:25 - I'll send it to you via text.

00:32:26 Her address, everything.

00:32:29 Follow her discreetly.

00:32:30 Do not get caught, as I already said.

00:32:33 I want to know everything she does,

00:32:36 every single move.

00:32:37 - That's a problem.

00:32:40 I'll manage on my own.

00:32:42 - Send me your account details.

00:32:44 We'll discuss again later,

00:32:45 once you start working.

00:32:46 - All right, will do.

00:32:49 Trust me to get the job done.

00:32:50 - Wonderful.

00:32:53 And if you get me caught,

00:32:55 I have nothing to do with this, got it?

00:32:58 - Listen, madam.

00:32:59 I've been into this line of work for quite a while.

00:33:02 I can handle it.

00:33:03 I won't get caught.

00:33:05 Even if I did,

00:33:07 I wouldn't tell a word, I mean.

00:33:09 I know how to handle this professionally.

00:33:12 - Perfect.

00:33:13 Wait for my email, then.

00:33:14 I'll send you everything you need.

00:33:15 And pleasure to have business with you.

00:33:18 - Yes.

00:33:19 - Step two in progress.

00:33:23 (soft music)

00:33:28 (phone ringing)

00:33:30 (knocking)

00:33:32 - Come in.

00:33:33 - Hi, you must be Lila.

00:33:35 I'm Dylan, head of HR and Human Resources here.

00:33:37 It's a pleasure to meet you.

00:33:38 - Pleasure to meet you, too.

00:33:40 - You are a lot prettier in person than your photo.

00:33:44 - My photo?

00:33:46 - Yes, the one on your resume.

00:33:48 It's a beautiful photo.

00:33:49 A headshot.

00:33:52 But you're stunning.

00:33:53 - Thank you, I appreciate it.

00:33:55 - So if there's, you have any questions around here,

00:33:57 or if there's anything you need figured out, I'm here.

00:34:00 - Oh yeah, actually, I will be needing your help.

00:34:03 I'm just still trying to figure out

00:34:04 how things work from here.

00:34:06 - Whatever you need, that's what I'm here for.

00:34:08 - Yeah, actually, I will be needing a list

00:34:12 of heads of clients and accountants for the past year

00:34:14 following Mr. Alexander's directions.

00:34:17 - That might be a little difficult and kind of tricky.

00:34:21 But I'll see what I can put together for you.

00:34:23 Is there something wrong or something you need

00:34:27 to look at specifically?

00:34:28 - Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

00:34:30 It's just purely for my own records.

00:34:32 Just making a list here.

00:34:34 - Okay, well that's right, that's good.

00:34:36 - Hey, so have you heard about missing funds by chance?

00:34:40 - How do you know that?

00:34:43 That's confidential.

00:34:45 - So I guess that's true.

00:34:47 Thank you.

00:34:50 (phone ringing)

00:34:52 - Hello there, welcome to our restaurant.

00:34:58 We're delighted to have you over to have them today.

00:35:00 - Right, we checked your menu online

00:35:02 and we made reservations.

00:35:03 Check your computer and bring us what we ordered.

00:35:05 - All right, we'll be ready in five minutes.

00:35:07 Will you be having anything else?

00:35:09 - Yes, well, we're looking for someone.

00:35:12 Waitress named Lila?

00:35:13 - Lila, you say?

00:35:15 Unfortunately, we don't have anyone on our staff

00:35:19 going by that name.

00:35:20 - Hmm, well, a friend of mine told me

00:35:22 there will be a girl working here named Lila.

00:35:25 - I'm quite certain there's no one named Lila on our staff.

00:35:28 - Hmm, well, maybe she's ashamed of working here.

00:35:31 Maybe she's going by a different name.

00:35:33 - No, sir, we haven't employed any new staff for a while

00:35:36 and I'm offended that you think

00:35:38 what we do here is worthless.

00:35:40 - Well, thank you.

00:35:41 Maybe I got the wrong place.

00:35:44 - You said she would be here?

00:35:45 - Yeah.

00:35:46 - Where is she?

00:35:48 - Maybe we hurt the man.

00:35:49 Maybe she doesn't work here anymore.

00:35:51 - You're right.

00:35:52 She really is good for nothing, isn't she?

00:35:55 - Right.

00:35:56 (giggles)

00:36:02 - Something isn't right.

00:36:08 These transactions are not in the books.

00:36:12 (dramatic music)

00:36:14 - Dylan, do you have a moment?

00:36:20 - Of course, what's going on?

00:36:22 - I've stumbled across some really suspicious transactions

00:36:25 within the company.

00:36:26 Do you know anything about it?

00:36:28 - Where did you get your hands on this?

00:36:30 - I found them.

00:36:31 Seems like someone or a group of people

00:36:34 are diverting large sums of money away from the company.

00:36:38 - This is serious.

00:36:39 We need to tread carefully.

00:36:41 I can help you investigate,

00:36:42 and we just have to keep low.

00:36:45 We can't be suspicious about this.

00:36:47 - I know, we have to find out who those people are, fast.

00:36:50 - I can try looking into this and getting more info,

00:36:53 and intel, I am the head of HR.

00:36:55 But I need you to promise me

00:36:57 that we will not tell anyone about this.

00:37:00 - Why not?

00:37:01 I thought you wanted that promotion.

00:37:03 - You don't understand.

00:37:04 This is dangerous.

00:37:05 I could be in so much danger for just looking into this.

00:37:09 - Why, what do you have on those people?

00:37:11 - When I started investigating, I was just one person,

00:37:15 and I figured out there was four people behind this,

00:37:17 and I couldn't do anything.

00:37:18 There are four of the head departments.

00:37:21 I needed to tread carefully.

00:37:23 - How did you find out about this?

00:37:25 - I found a payroll slip with four names

00:37:28 from people in different departments that don't exist.

00:37:31 - What?

00:37:36 (phone ringing)

00:37:39 - Hello?

00:37:40 - Hey, it's me.

00:37:41 I'm calling to report what happened to Jayden this morning.

00:37:45 - Good job.

00:37:46 Continue to keep trail of her.

00:37:48 Follow her every single step.

00:37:51 - No, even for a second.

00:37:52 I got money worth, it's only half worth.

00:37:55 - You'll get the other half when I say so.

00:37:57 - Right, no games though.

00:37:59 I can always find you just like I'm doing to that woman now.

00:38:03 - Don't worry, we have a deal.

00:38:06 I always keep my promises.

00:38:08 (phone beeping)

00:38:12 Hi, James, how's it going?

00:38:16 How's the restaurant?

00:38:17 - Hey, Lila, just checking in.

00:38:19 How's everything going?

00:38:21 - Good, it's a little bit different

00:38:23 than my waitressing days, that's for sure.

00:38:25 - That's good to hear.

00:38:26 We miss it at the restaurant,

00:38:27 but I understand it's all for the better.

00:38:28 - Listen, I had an unusual visitor at the restaurant today.

00:38:31 - Some guy was asking about you.

00:38:33 Help screen.

00:38:34 - What, what was it?

00:38:36 - No, he didn't say.

00:38:37 He just said he wanted to see you,

00:38:39 and he was with a woman or two.

00:38:41 - That's weird, did he say his name or?

00:38:45 - He didn't say anything in particular.

00:38:47 Just that he wanted to see you

00:38:48 because he heard you worked at the waitress there.

00:38:51 - Huh, must be one of my admirers.

00:38:54 So many people used to tell me that I looked pretty before.

00:38:57 - I thought so too, but he sounded like he knew you,

00:39:00 like he knows you.

00:39:01 - Hmm, strange to worry about it

00:39:04 though I'm sure it's nothing.

00:39:06 - I will see if you're careful.

00:39:07 You never know who might show up.

00:39:09 - Don't worry James, I'm gonna be just fine.

00:39:12 - If you ever get into trouble, give me a call, okay?

00:39:15 - All right, good night James.

00:39:18 (phone ringing)

00:39:22 - Who's that?

00:39:25 - Oh, it was just James.

00:39:27 He was calling to see how I was doing

00:39:28 working as a secretary.

00:39:29 Nothing to worry about.

00:39:31 - Okay.

00:39:32 - Yeah.

00:39:34 - Alexander, spill the beans.

00:39:37 How did you manage all of this?

00:39:39 It's really impressive.

00:39:40 - It's a combination of things, Lila.

00:39:42 Knowing the right people, networking,

00:39:45 being in a circle of influence,

00:39:46 and of course, knowing what needs to be done.

00:39:49 But the most important thing in the business world,

00:39:52 not just knowing the right people,

00:39:54 but to know how to make them useful for yourself.

00:39:57 - How do you make people useful for yourself?

00:40:01 - That's actually a good question.

00:40:04 I don't think I can explain.

00:40:05 There's a psychology trick that comes with it.

00:40:08 You need to know how to make people do what you want,

00:40:11 and how to make them feel at peace.

00:40:14 You need to need them.

00:40:16 - How do you make people useful?

00:40:18 - So Jay didn't use me.

00:40:22 He used me, and then disposed of me

00:40:24 when I wasn't available to be trapped on anymore.

00:40:28 - Now I understand.

00:40:29 - Sounds like a winning formula.

00:40:31 I'd love to get into that more.

00:40:33 - Just remember, Lila, it all starts with people.

00:40:36 Knowing the right people will open the doors

00:40:38 you never thought possible.

00:40:40 Social networks are the only tools.

00:40:43 - So that's the key.

00:40:45 I'll make sure to use your advice.

00:40:47 - You're welcome, Lila.

00:40:50 - I know you do.

00:40:52 And I'm sorry that I can't love you back, Alex.

00:40:54 You're a good man.

00:40:56 - You will, eventually.

00:40:58 - You'll see.

00:40:59 - Hola, Lila.

00:41:04 - You speak Spanish, too?

00:41:07 - I do.

00:41:08 You know, I know we just work together,

00:41:10 but we can be friends, no?

00:41:12 - Friends?

00:41:15 I don't do friends.

00:41:16 I'm gonna be just fine on my own.

00:41:19 Okay, since you're here,

00:41:22 do you remember you were telling me about

00:41:25 people that actually don't exist on the internet?

00:41:28 - People that actually don't exist on the payroll?

00:41:29 - Shh, please.

00:41:31 You can't talk about that here.

00:41:33 - Why?

00:41:36 - You don't know who's working for whom.

00:41:37 - All right, well, can you elaborate?

00:41:39 - So, the heads of the department put a list together

00:41:42 with names that go straight into their private accounts.

00:41:46 These names have job descriptions

00:41:48 that don't exist in the company.

00:41:50 They do this so that all of the money

00:41:52 goes into the private account.

00:41:54 The heads of the department get away with this

00:41:56 and they're all working together.

00:41:58 Do you remember the list that I made last week?

00:42:02 - Yeah.

00:42:02 What about it?

00:42:05 - I made it and I put it in for Alexander to see.

00:42:08 Then, nothing happened, so I let it pass.

00:42:12 - Dylan, that's a massive gap between the actual income

00:42:14 and what's submitted for audit.

00:42:16 How did you uncover this?

00:42:18 - I've known for a while now,

00:42:20 but I needed to just let it pass

00:42:22 or my supervisors would have fired me.

00:42:25 I didn't have a choice.

00:42:26 - So, you were aware about this wrong going on along?

00:42:29 - Yes, I've known, but my hands are tied.

00:42:32 I needed to get concrete evidence

00:42:34 before I could do anything.

00:42:36 - Thank you for being honest with me, Dylan.

00:42:39 For now, we need to dig deeper and gather evidence

00:42:41 against those involved and then we can bring them down.

00:42:53 - Alexander, we have a serious issue.

00:42:55 There are significant financial discrepancies

00:42:57 within the company involving key individuals.

00:43:01 Alexander, I was thinking,

00:43:18 what if we collaborate on a business venture together?

00:43:21 Your expertise and my determination,

00:43:24 it's like a perfect combination.

00:43:27 - I must admit, Lala, your drive is admirable.

00:43:31 What do you have in mind?

00:43:32 - I was observing your industry very closely.

00:43:35 There are rumors of a groundbreaking project

00:43:38 and if we played our cards right, it might be ours.

00:43:42 - What do you know about our business?

00:43:44 - Well, let's just say that I have a very keen

00:43:49 instinct on business.

00:43:52 Together, we'll succeed.

00:43:54 - You know how to be convincing.

00:44:00 But these matters are extremely sensitive.

00:44:04 Millions of dollars are at play there.

00:44:07 How do I know I can trust you?

00:44:10 - Trust is to be earned, I do realize that.

00:44:13 I propose a mutually beneficial arrangement.

00:44:16 You make me the major shareholder of the company

00:44:19 and I make sure that all your interests are secured.

00:44:23 We either rise or fall together.

00:44:27 - What's in it for you?

00:44:29 - Well, a chance to prove myself, of course.

00:44:31 And an opportunity to be a part of something bigger.

00:44:34 I took out the thieves out of your company, remember?

00:44:37 They were stealing money right under your nose.

00:44:40 But I did learn something from you.

00:44:42 I have to use the people to get to the top

00:44:46 and this is what I'm planning to do for both me and you.

00:44:49 - Not only about you.

00:44:51 - Okay.

00:44:52 All right, Lala.

00:44:53 Let's embark on this journey together.

00:44:57 You've proven to be very capable

00:44:59 and I have a feeling that you will do this again.

00:45:03 I was right about you.

00:45:06 There is something inside.

00:45:08 But I didn't figure it out.

00:45:11 Yes.

00:45:14 - Then I'll be good to you to figure.

00:45:18 (phone ringing)

00:45:20 - Alexander.

00:45:28 - Violet.

00:45:30 - I have a proposal to make that will benefit your company.

00:45:33 - And what could that be?

00:45:34 - There is an application that I came across.

00:45:37 This person, if hired, will do great good for your company.

00:45:42 And in fact, I think he should be promoted

00:45:44 to head of finance.

00:45:46 - Where's this Chetan guy?

00:45:48 What makes him special?

00:45:49 - Oh, he came highly recommended by a previous employer.

00:45:53 I think a person like him will be

00:45:54 a very valuable addition to the team.

00:45:58 - I still need more assurance, Violet.

00:46:00 What makes you think he's the guy?

00:46:03 - As I said before, he is very professional

00:46:07 and he is very qualified.

00:46:09 A person like that will be an amazing ally.

00:46:12 - All right.

00:46:16 If you believe in his capabilities,

00:46:18 then speak to Dylan, personal administrator.

00:46:21 Dylan approves, then so be it.

00:46:24 - Thank you, Alexander.

00:46:25 I make sure this benefits all of us.

00:46:28 - I hope so.

00:46:29 - Dylan?

00:46:41 I want you to contact this person

00:46:44 and tell him that he was recruited by us.

00:46:46 - You decided to hire him?

00:46:48 - You know I don't have that much power.

00:46:50 Mr. Alexander did.

00:46:52 - Jaden Phillips.

00:46:53 - Yeah.

00:46:56 - James, you are the only one that I can trust this with.

00:47:11 I've been orchestrating your plan,

00:47:12 slowly moving towards a goal.

00:47:15 You're my family now.

00:47:16 That's why I need your help.

00:47:18 You are the one who knows the whole story.

00:47:21 You were the one helping me out of the snow,

00:47:23 out of the loneliness and the despair

00:47:24 that he put me through.

00:47:26 - I thought you bounced back.

00:47:28 I thought letting you live with Alex

00:47:30 would have taken your mind off of me.

00:47:32 - Bounce back?

00:47:33 James, you don't just bounce back

00:47:36 after a man just throws you out in the snow

00:47:39 after you decided to spend the rest of your life with him.

00:47:43 - I understand, I understand.

00:47:45 - You don't understand.

00:47:47 Nobody can understand me, James.

00:47:51 The only thing that keeps me going

00:47:53 is if he feels the pain that I felt.

00:47:56 I need your help.

00:47:57 Are you going to help me or not?

00:47:58 - Yeah, I'll help you.

00:48:00 You're like family to me.

00:48:01 I'll help you regardless.

00:48:03 - Thank you, James.

00:48:05 Now you need to move quick.

00:48:06 It is very crucial.

00:48:09 I'm counting on you.

00:48:10 - I'll always help you out, Lionel.

00:48:12 You're family to me.

00:48:13 - Perfect.

00:48:14 Hello.

00:48:22 - Hi, hello there.

00:48:23 - You look familiar, do I know you?

00:48:25 - Yeah, yeah.

00:48:26 I'm the owner of this restaurant

00:48:28 and you're a stunning beauty.

00:48:30 - Oh, thank you.

00:48:32 - Michelle!

00:48:38 I got the job!

00:48:39 I got the job!

00:48:40 They're giving me a high position in the firm!

00:48:43 - Oh my God, babe, amazing!

00:48:45 Congratulations, I'm so proud of you.

00:48:47 - I can't believe it.

00:48:48 I left it to luck and, you know,

00:48:51 like, I can't believe this is happening to me.

00:48:54 - I'm so proud of you.

00:48:55 It's amazing.

00:48:57 You deserve this.

00:48:58 - I know and it comes with a high pay

00:49:01 and it comes with many other benefits.

00:49:05 I can't believe this is happening to me

00:49:06 and they're gonna make me a head of finance.

00:49:09 This is gonna be the biggest win for me.

00:49:12 You know, ever since you came into my life,

00:49:15 you bring me good luck charm.

00:49:17 - Yes, I think I am your good luck charm.

00:49:19 - You are, of course you are.

00:49:21 And you know what?

00:49:22 Anything you want, I will give it to you.

00:49:25 - I would like a Birkin bag.

00:49:28 - And you should have your Birkin bag.

00:49:30 - Oh, that's very funny.

00:49:31 - Anything for my good luck charm.

00:49:33 (laughing)

00:49:35 - You're the best, Dylan.

00:49:37 - I know.

00:49:37 - Lila, I just sent an email to a Mr. Jaden Phillips.

00:49:43 He'll be joining us real soon.

00:49:45 - Thank you, Dylan.

00:49:46 I appreciate your efficiency.

00:49:48 I'm sure Mr. Jaden will be a perfect addition to our team.

00:49:51 Cheers.

00:50:01 - Alex, our joint venture could be revolutionary.

00:50:06 I'll handle the majority of work,

00:50:07 and you just check in from time to time.

00:50:10 - Majority of work?

00:50:11 What makes you think you should be having a major cut

00:50:15 compared to mine?

00:50:18 - Darling, must I remind you how I

00:50:21 unrevealed all the thefts in your company?

00:50:26 I just have a talent for this kind of things,

00:50:28 for discovering secrets and all the rest.

00:50:33 - Not even taking a break until you get

00:50:35 what you want, aren't you?

00:50:37 Why not just become my wife?

00:50:39 You can still have all of this,

00:50:41 but you don't need to work so hard.

00:50:42 - Oh, Alexander, you do realize that marriage

00:50:46 comes with its own complications, right?

00:50:48 I just wanna keep things interesting.

00:50:52 And besides, the power dynamic

00:50:54 is way worth feeling like this.

00:50:56 - All right, Lila.

00:50:59 Once again, you've proven yourself

00:51:00 to be smart and good with management.

00:51:02 The company is yours.

00:51:05 - You won't regret this.

00:51:06 I can run this company to great heights.

00:51:10 I just can feel it.

00:51:11 - I always knew there was something about you.

00:51:14 Was it just charisma?

00:51:16 Amateur.

00:51:17 Though I still know nothing about your past.

00:51:21 Who exactly are you?

00:51:22 - Patience, my friend, patience.

00:51:26 Time is not right yet.

00:51:28 When the time is right, you will know everything.

00:51:31 - You still have a lot of secrets.

00:51:34 Your mystery keeps attracting me every day to you.

00:51:38 A woman with secret and confidence

00:51:42 will never cease to amaze me.

00:51:44 - That's exactly who I am.

00:51:45 A woman with a lot of secrets.

00:51:47 (phone ringing)

00:51:53 Hello?

00:51:55 - I've come to the data report.

00:51:58 Special.

00:52:01 And that's all she did today.

00:52:03 - Thank you for your efforts.

00:52:05 You've done a good job.

00:52:07 Find out where she's going next.

00:52:09 I need something important to arrange.

00:52:11 I need to know where she's going tomorrow night.

00:52:13 Just report to me before then.

00:52:15 - Got it.

00:52:16 What about?

00:52:18 - Listen, just check your phone.

00:52:20 I transferred you the rest of the payment already.

00:52:23 Now go do your job that I pay you for.

00:52:24 (phone ringing)

00:52:27 - Hey, Lila, what's up?

00:52:44 - Hey, James.

00:52:46 I'll need you to make us surprises tomorrow.

00:52:48 - You don't need.

00:52:49 - Can I?

00:52:51 I need you to make her fall for you and hard.

00:52:54 - Should we really be doing this?

00:52:56 - James, are you with me or not?

00:52:58 You know that I'm doing this with or without you.

00:53:01 - Does Alex know about any of this?

00:53:03 - Unless you tell him about it,

00:53:05 there's no way of him knowing.

00:53:07 I don't even answer my phone calls near him.

00:53:10 - Do you think that any of this is fair, Sam?

00:53:12 - There is literally no turning back.

00:53:17 I'm about to close a deal

00:53:18 and Alex is gonna make me a major shareholder.

00:53:21 - I'm doing this.

00:53:22 Alex was the one who told me that I should use people

00:53:24 to get what I want.

00:53:26 So all I'm doing is following his advice.

00:53:29 - My revenge is this close, okay?

00:53:31 So I'm gonna do it.

00:53:33 Rivalis, are you with me or are you not?

00:53:35 - I'm on your side, Lila.

00:53:39 - Perfection.

00:53:41 Step three.

00:53:45 - Lila, I'm glad you could make it.

00:53:51 Have a seat.

00:53:52 (phone ringing)

00:53:54 - What's up, Alexander?

00:53:57 Is there anything important you wanna talk about?

00:54:00 - Yes, there is.

00:54:00 We are ready for business venture.

00:54:06 There is a catch.

00:54:07 - What's the catch?

00:54:09 - Catch my dear, is, dear,

00:54:11 I need you to oversee things there for a while.

00:54:15 - The benefits of being a shareholder?

00:54:17 Well, you're lucky that you made me one

00:54:19 'cause now I can overlook business

00:54:20 while you're away juggling your other ventures.

00:54:23 - Good.

00:54:24 I really trust in you.

00:54:25 But Lila, you need to be very careful

00:54:29 'cause I invested too much into this.

00:54:31 If it doesn't work out,

00:54:33 it'll be over for us.

00:54:36 - Don't worry, Alexander.

00:54:37 I wouldn't have agreed

00:54:38 if I wasn't sure of the potential of this new business.

00:54:41 - Good, that's good.

00:54:44 On the other hand,

00:54:46 I'd like to recommend it for the head of finance, Jaden.

00:54:49 He's a great son.

00:54:51 - Really?

00:54:52 - Yeah.

00:54:54 I've wanted to introduce him for a long time.

00:54:56 He will be on the business trip when he comes.

00:55:00 - Well, I guess we could be introduced personally

00:55:04 once I'm back.

00:55:05 Look, his resume is wonderful

00:55:07 and I recommended him to you,

00:55:09 so I'm sure he will be a great addition to the team

00:55:12 and work as hard as I have been.

00:55:14 - And one more thing.

00:55:18 I need somebody to keep an eye on everything

00:55:20 that's going on here.

00:55:21 Do you have somebody to recommend?

00:55:24 - Oh, Dylan is the perfect person for that.

00:55:26 I'll delegate it to him.

00:55:28 - Sure.

00:55:29 - Anything else?

00:55:30 - No.

00:55:31 - Step by step, Jaden,

00:55:42 I'll give you everything you've ever dreamed of and more,

00:55:45 and then I'll just take it all away from you overnight.

00:55:48 I'm going to ruin your life.

00:55:50 Hey, Dylan, are you at the office right now?

00:55:58 Oh, cool, I'll be right there.

00:56:00 - Oh, hey.

00:56:07 - It's you.

00:56:08 What are you doing here?

00:56:09 - Can't a man catch some downtime around here?

00:56:12 - I'm not speculating.

00:56:13 I thought it was quite a nice coincidence

00:56:15 for us to bump into each other.

00:56:17 - Want to grab lunch?

00:56:18 - Yeah, I'd love to.

00:56:19 - So, Michelle, tell me about yourself.

00:56:25 - There's not really much to tell, honestly.

00:56:29 I grew up in a little town in Kansas

00:56:31 and I graduated from SNU,

00:56:34 living a pretty regular life so far.

00:56:36 How about you?

00:56:37 - Well, I'm from Minnesota

00:56:39 and I grew up in Canada.

00:56:42 I don't have any hobbies

00:56:43 'cause I've got a restaurant to run.

00:56:45 - No way.

00:56:46 - Why are you so surprised?

00:56:48 - You seem like an all-rounder.

00:56:49 I can't imagine you wouldn't have any hobbies.

00:56:52 - Well, I guess we could find out what you enjoy.

00:56:59 But first, let's eat.

00:57:00 - What's up, Lila?

00:57:09 How's it going?

00:57:10 - Dylan.

00:57:11 I need you to do me a favor.

00:57:13 When the new head of finance starts,

00:57:15 I want you to keep an eye out for him.

00:57:17 Just give him a warm welcome

00:57:18 just like you did when I first started.

00:57:21 Show him around the office,

00:57:22 introduce him to the team,

00:57:24 you know the drill.

00:57:25 - Sure thing.

00:57:26 You know it's my job to show the newbies around here

00:57:28 and ask them and see if they need my help

00:57:30 when they need it.

00:57:32 Got it.

00:57:33 Do I mention you?

00:57:34 - Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

00:57:35 I want you to personally introduce us

00:57:37 when the time is right.

00:57:39 As for now, I just want you to keep tabs on him,

00:57:43 tell me everything he does.

00:57:45 I just wanna make sure that he's doing his job right

00:57:47 while I'm away, you know?

00:57:48 - Lila, are you ready for the trip?

00:57:53 - Yeah, I was just clearing things up with Dylan,

00:57:56 making sure he has everything while I'm away.

00:57:58 - Good.

00:58:00 It's crucial that things are running smoothly

00:58:02 here while you're gone.

00:58:04 - Of course.

00:58:04 Don't worry about it.

00:58:05 I have everything under control.

00:58:07 I made sure that everything works smoothly here

00:58:10 while I'm away.

00:58:12 And in fact, I have a trusted ally

00:58:14 that will report everything.

00:58:17 When I say everything,

00:58:18 I mean everything that's going on around here.

00:58:20 - Really?

00:58:21 Who's that?

00:58:23 - I can't disclose his identity yet.

00:58:25 At least not yet.

00:58:26 - All right, I understand.

00:58:29 I'll be on your way then.

00:58:31 As far as things running well here,

00:58:35 I can't trust your judgment.

00:58:36 - I can't trust your judgments.

00:58:39 - Alexander, I want you to be very,

00:58:45 very careful around here.

00:58:47 A lot of things can go wrong if you're not on guard.

00:58:50 - Thanks, Lila.

00:58:52 - You're welcome.

00:58:54 - Alex!

00:59:02 Long time no see.

00:59:05 How is everything?

00:59:06 - Oh, everything good.

00:59:08 Just wanted to taste my favorite dish,

00:59:09 and you know there's no better place than here.

00:59:11 - I thought you abandoned me

00:59:13 when you took my little sister away.

00:59:14 - Don't say that.

00:59:16 You're hurting my feelings.

00:59:17 - No, that's not true.

00:59:18 I was just really busy recently.

00:59:21 I'm glad I'm here right now.

00:59:23 - Fair enough.

00:59:24 How's Lila?

00:59:25 Everything okay?

00:59:26 - Oh yeah, she's doing great.

00:59:28 She's been doing wonders in my company.

00:59:29 The way I'm just amazed at how capable she is.

00:59:32 - Yeah, I get that, but are you not worried?

00:59:37 She's working for you, living with you,

00:59:40 but still keeping things casual.

00:59:43 Are you worried she's not committing fully?

00:59:46 - No, I think it's all fine.

00:59:49 Maybe it's just not that easy for her to trust

00:59:51 when it's the done to open up to somebody.

00:59:55 But I can feel that she's working from the heart.

01:00:00 I think she wants to do that,

01:00:02 not just because she has to do that.

01:00:03 - Yeah, I get that.

01:00:05 But there's more to people than meets the eye.

01:00:07 I just hope she doesn't do you wrong.

01:00:10 - Thank you, James.

01:00:11 I'm gonna be fine.

01:00:12 Let's enjoy the meal.

01:00:13 - Exactly how much do you know about her?

01:00:16 What do you know about her?

01:00:19 - Let's be honest, James.

01:00:22 I know nothing about her.

01:00:26 She doesn't tell me anything.

01:00:28 I've been just,

01:00:29 just dressing cards.

01:00:34 I am trying not to think about that too much,

01:00:36 but it's just hard.

01:00:38 She's doing really good at my company.

01:00:40 She helped me sort out a few issues,

01:00:43 including the financial issue there.

01:00:44 - Maybe it's just like you said.

01:00:50 She'll open up when she's ready.

01:00:51 But until then, do take care of her

01:00:56 and stay open-minded.

01:00:57 - Can you please tell me what exactly happened to her?

01:01:03 - What's your story, James?

01:01:05 - It's not my story to tell.

01:01:07 - Yeah, well, sure.

01:01:11 - One down, two to go.

01:01:17 You're a strong, independent woman, Lila.

01:01:23 You're a queen.

01:01:26 You're not gonna let any madness treat you again.

01:01:29 Jaden, he did it first.

01:01:31 He broke my heart.

01:01:32 He shattered my life into pieces.

01:01:35 I'm going to make him face the consequences.

01:01:39 Feel the pain that I felt

01:01:40 and be as miserable as he made me feel.

01:01:42 Jaden, Jaden, did you ever love me?

01:01:49 Did you ever think of me after we broke up?

01:01:53 Or was it all for show?

01:02:02 Remember why you're doing this, Lila.

01:02:03 Remember what brought you here.

01:02:08 You're gonna prove to everybody and to yourself

01:02:12 that no matter what life throws at you,

01:02:15 you're gonna crawl out of it.

01:02:18 - How you been doing?

01:02:21 - Great.

01:02:23 I'm just trying to meditate.

01:02:24 Can I have some alone time, please?

01:02:27 - Yeah, sure.

01:02:29 I just, you didn't eat anything today.

01:02:33 So I asked the chef to make something special for you.

01:02:35 It's downstairs.

01:02:36 - I appreciate it.

01:02:38 Now, could I have some silence, please?

01:02:41 - Can I know how you exactly met James?

01:02:50 I think I need to know everything.

01:02:52 Like how, when, and why it happened.

01:02:55 - What does that have to do with anything?

01:02:58 Why are you asking me?

01:02:59 That's all I said.

01:03:01 I told you, me and James are just friends.

01:03:03 - That's true.

01:03:06 I just, I don't feel that it's true.

01:03:11 First James saying I don't have to snooping around,

01:03:14 and now you're saying you're just friends.

01:03:16 There's something happening between the two of you.

01:03:20 - Oh, well, if there is, you're gonna find out soon.

01:03:28 (dramatic music)

01:03:30 - Remember, it's a huge deal.

01:03:38 Don't mess it up.

01:03:39 - I've heard that so many times, Alexander.

01:03:42 Why can't you just trust me?

01:03:43 If you don't trust me, you could just go instead of me.

01:03:46 - You know I'm not doubting your confidence, right?

01:03:49 It's just a huge risk.

01:03:51 - And I know that.

01:03:53 - All right, you can have the list.

01:03:54 (dramatic music)

01:03:57 Remember, I believe in you.

01:04:03 You can do this.

01:04:04 Is everything all right?

01:04:08 - Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

01:04:10 Yeah, everything's fine.

01:04:11 I just need to get going, that's all.

01:04:12 - I imagine he was caught in a cell, James.

01:04:17 Maybe the time in cells, you remember him.

01:04:19 What happened?

01:04:20 - Where is this coming from?

01:04:23 - You didn't answer the question.

01:04:24 - Look, it's not even worth discussing.

01:04:26 It's not a big deal.

01:04:27 We just met in the snow.

01:04:28 That's all.

01:04:29 Look, I really need to get going.

01:04:33 I'll call you when I get there,

01:04:34 and it's just gonna be a few days, so.

01:04:36 - All right, be careful.

01:04:38 Something was wrong with you, Lois.

01:04:49 Something just doesn't feel right.

01:04:55 Your case is caught.

01:04:56 Is it everything like that?

01:04:58 I'll just finish it now.

01:05:02 I'm too sick.

01:05:06 - So, Michelle, tell me about yourself.

01:05:13 Where did you go to school?

01:05:14 - I went to Stanford, actually.

01:05:18 Great times there.

01:05:18 - And what about relationships?

01:05:21 Have you been married?

01:05:23 - I was once.

01:05:24 It didn't really work out.

01:05:27 But then I met Jayden,

01:05:28 and we've been together since college.

01:05:32 Whenever he needed me, I was there for him.

01:05:35 - I see.

01:05:36 - What about you, James?

01:05:37 Have you ever been married?

01:05:39 - No, no, I,

01:05:40 my sole focus has been on the restaurants

01:05:44 since I've started it.

01:05:45 - What about love?

01:05:48 Have you ever been in love?

01:05:49 - Yeah, well, once.

01:05:52 It happened during the snowfall.

01:05:54 - Oh, tell me more about that.

01:05:55 - That's not all in the past.

01:05:58 Tonight is about us.

01:05:59 Tell me, what do you like to do?

01:06:03 - I love shopping.

01:06:06 It's my therapy.

01:06:08 - I'm guessing that's why I saw you at the boutique.

01:06:10 - You're right.

01:06:11 It's my favorite thing to do in the whole world.

01:06:13 - Besides being with me?

01:06:16 - Oh, James, stop.

01:06:17 (laughs)

01:06:18 - Oh!

01:06:19 Oh, what was that?

01:06:20 Did you just reject me?

01:06:22 - Oh, no, I could never.

01:06:24 - Then let's not waste any more time.

01:06:28 Cheers.

01:06:29 - Cheers.

01:06:30 (phone ringing)

01:06:40 - Hello?

01:06:42 - Check our email.

01:06:44 Picture sent.

01:06:44 - Good job.

01:06:50 Keep 'em coming.

01:06:51 We're almost done here.

01:06:52 And remember to not get caught.

01:06:55 If you raise any suspicions, you're on your own here.

01:06:58 - Hello?

01:07:10 - Lila?

01:07:11 How was your business trip?

01:07:13 - Doing well.

01:07:14 I am confident we will seal the deal

01:07:16 and both our names soon.

01:07:18 I got rocky at one point,

01:07:20 but I managed to get it under control, eventually.

01:07:23 - Nice to hear that.

01:07:25 Congratulations, Lila.

01:07:26 Well done.

01:07:27 I, uh, I missed you.

01:07:31 - Well, we grabbed a late night dinner.

01:07:33 I could get that.

01:07:35 - Oh, I missed you too.

01:07:36 But I'm kind of tired after the trip.

01:07:39 - You sound different.

01:07:41 It's really hard to recognize a girl

01:07:44 who served me a salmon with asparagus at Jim's place.

01:07:48 - You are so right.

01:07:50 The old Lila is gone.

01:07:52 - What's exactly your story?

01:07:55 What's your past?

01:07:56 What happened to you?

01:07:58 I need to know everything.

01:07:59 All this time, I was trusting you,

01:08:03 but you're just making it too difficult

01:08:05 for me to keep trusting you.

01:08:07 When you get back, you tell me everything.

01:08:10 Everything about yourself.

01:08:12 Or otherwise you're out of my business.

01:08:17 - Calm down.

01:08:19 I'll tell you everything you need to know.

01:08:21 Honestly, I'm surprised you lasted this long.

01:08:23 I'm really impressed.

01:08:25 - Yeah, it's just how you said.

01:08:26 I must be out of my mind.

01:08:28 But, uh, maybe it's just how crazy I am about you.

01:08:34 - Don't say that.

01:08:35 Look, I understand that you're upset,

01:08:37 but you need to chill.

01:08:39 I have a lot of good news for you.

01:08:43 Speaking of good news, I have even bigger things

01:08:47 to share with you when I'm back, all right?

01:08:50 - I have a lot to discuss when you'll be back.

01:08:53 Oh, I didn't mention, this guy, Jayden Phillips,

01:08:59 the new head of finance, he just started today.

01:09:01 Be careful.

01:09:13 - Thank you, Mr. Alexander.

01:09:14 I am really excited to be here.

01:09:17 Thank you for giving me the opportunity.

01:09:19 - The pleasure is ours, Jayden.

01:09:21 The application really caught our eyes.

01:09:23 It actually was handpicked by my secretary.

01:09:25 - Wow, um, thank you.

01:09:27 I would like to thank her personally.

01:09:30 Do you know where she is?

01:09:32 I didn't see her at the front desk when I came in.

01:09:34 - Well, she is away on a business trip.

01:09:37 She'll be back in a few days, very soon.

01:09:40 So you can thank her later.

01:09:42 She personally recommended you to HR.

01:09:45 - Wow, I understand.

01:09:47 - Everything you need to start will be shown to you.

01:09:50 Hope you'll get along very well.

01:09:51 - Thank you, sir.

01:09:53 I hope I'll give you a new appearance.

01:09:55 - Nice to hear that, Jayden.

01:09:56 - Hey there, you must be Jayden.

01:10:04 It's Dylan, nice to meet you.

01:10:05 - Nice to meet you too, Dylan.

01:10:06 - They call me the personnel person around here.

01:10:08 I'm here to show you the ropes

01:10:09 and let you know if you have any questions.

01:10:11 - I very much appreciate that, man.

01:10:12 I hear there's a lot to learn here.

01:10:14 - No worries.

01:10:15 I'm your friend, I got you.

01:10:17 So as head of finance, you're gonna be dealing

01:10:20 with a lot of documents from other departments.

01:10:23 So let me show you the record journal.

01:10:26 - Okay, yeah, thanks, man, I appreciate that.

01:10:28 - Right this way. - Okay.

01:10:29 - Jayden Phillips is here.

01:10:32 - Hey, Jayden, I'm heading out for a little bit.

01:10:39 - Again?

01:10:39 - Yeah, I'm heading out for a little bit.

01:10:41 - What's going on?

01:10:42 - Nothing major, I'm just going to see some friends.

01:10:46 - Friends, who are these friends?

01:10:47 You're being very secretive, politically,

01:10:49 you know that?

01:10:50 What's really going on?

01:10:51 - Why do you always have to interrogate me?

01:10:53 I do have a lab outside this house.

01:10:55 - I know that, I just wanna say hello to your friends.

01:10:57 - You wanna go with me?

01:10:59 That's a little bit crazy, no?

01:11:02 Or are you just like insecure?

01:11:04 - You're calling me insecure?

01:11:06 Huh, are you gaslighting me?

01:11:08 I don't know where you're going every night.

01:11:10 Talk about life.

01:11:12 - What's your problem?

01:11:13 We're not even married.

01:11:14 You married her, not me.

01:11:16 Don't forget that.

01:11:17 I'm worried you're treating me like a housewife.

01:11:21 - You know I didn't mean to handle that, right?

01:11:23 - I won't tolerate you trying to tell me

01:11:27 what I can and can't do.

01:11:29 (dramatic music)

01:11:31 - Mr. Diligent, I see.

01:11:41 Putting us to shame with your work ethic.

01:11:43 - Nah man, just trying to stay on top of things, man.

01:11:45 - You know, Alex has been keeping an eye on you.

01:11:48 - Really?

01:11:49 - Yeah.

01:11:50 He's starting to think you're secretly a workaholic.

01:11:51 - Nah, I'm just trying to keep the ship sailed smoothly, man.

01:11:55 - I vouch for you too.

01:11:57 I said that you're on top of everything

01:11:59 and you're a great guy.

01:12:00 - Man, that's sweet.

01:12:02 I'm just trying to keep the money coming.

01:12:04 Man's gotta eat, you know.

01:12:05 - Of course, you're right there.

01:12:07 So how was your last place of work?

01:12:09 - Well, there were some minor issues, so I had to leave.

01:12:13 - Minor issue?

01:12:14 Regarding what?

01:12:15 - Yeah, well for one, they didn't have

01:12:17 a private executive lounge.

01:12:19 - Ah, okay.

01:12:20 Definitely a serious issue.

01:12:21 - Right, yeah.

01:12:22 I know you'll understand.

01:12:24 - All right, well have a good afternoon

01:12:26 and if you need anything, please feel free to let me know.

01:12:29 - Thank you, man, I appreciate it.

01:12:30 - No problem.

01:12:31 - There's something fishy about Jaden.

01:12:36 I don't think I can trust him.

01:12:38 Absolutely, Lila.

01:12:41 I'll get back to you as soon as I find anything.

01:12:43 When are you coming back to work?

01:12:45 - Jaden, what's wrong?

01:12:50 - Michelle, we need to talk.

01:12:54 - Talk about what?

01:12:56 - That hug.

01:12:57 It was a goodbye.

01:12:58 - Goodbye, Jaden, what are you talking about?

01:13:02 - I know you are in a relationship with Jaden

01:13:05 and have been living with him all this time.

01:13:08 - Why does that matter?

01:13:12 - What matters is that I don't wanna be a part

01:13:14 of what you and Jaden have going on.

01:13:15 I'm done.

01:13:16 - Done?

01:13:17 We can talk about this.

01:13:20 Please tell me why.

01:13:22 - You're living with him, Michelle.

01:13:24 - I can't talk that and honestly, I don't want to.

01:13:27 - Why did you go along with all of this?

01:13:29 The dating, the conversations?

01:13:30 Why?

01:13:32 I was ready to leave him and start a new life with you.

01:13:35 - That's the why you'll find out soon enough.

01:13:38 And I'm really honored you're thinking

01:13:40 about leaving your man for me, but you don't have to.

01:13:43 That's too much, really.

01:13:44 - James, what are you saying?

01:13:47 - One thing you can do for me is to leave my restaurant

01:13:50 in five-star review.

01:13:52 Let's make it a deal for all the free meals

01:13:54 so none of us feels bad about this.

01:13:57 - Let me do this.

01:14:00 James, I'm so sorry that I dragged you into this.

01:14:17 I know it has nothing to do with you,

01:14:18 but you did it all for me.

01:14:21 - It's okay, Violet.

01:14:22 Thanks to you, I went on a date for the first time

01:14:24 in a long time.

01:14:25 I felt rusty.

01:14:27 - Since you're so thankful,

01:14:28 how about you swing by the restaurant

01:14:29 sometime when you're back?

01:14:31 - Of course I will.

01:14:32 - James, I've listened to all the recordings.

01:14:36 Thank you for doing this.

01:14:38 I know it wasn't easy for you.

01:14:40 - All I wanted for you was to be happy.

01:14:42 I hope you find the closure you need

01:14:43 and you deserve a happy life.

01:14:47 - James, why didn't you say anything

01:14:49 about your feelings for me?

01:14:51 - Some things are just better left unsaid.

01:14:53 You're already going through so much

01:14:55 and I just wanted you to be happy.

01:14:57 - That's why I thought it would be best

01:15:00 for you to live without a family.

01:15:03 - Even though I couldn't see through you,

01:15:05 all you really cared about was my well-being.

01:15:08 - You made me feel better about what Jayden

01:15:09 has put me through.

01:15:11 - And I feel so secure when you're around me.

01:15:13 James, I'll come see you when I'm back.

01:15:17 - Thanks a lot for us to process right now.

01:15:20 Good night.

01:15:21 Proceed with the last phase.

01:15:28 - Last phase?

01:15:29 What's the task?

01:15:30 - I will send you an email address.

01:15:32 Send all the pictures and recordings there.

01:15:35 Make sure it's untraceable and be careful.

01:15:38 Got it?

01:15:39 - I will take care of it.

01:15:40 Okay, gotcha.

01:15:46 (phone ringing)

01:15:49 - Good morning, Dylan.

01:15:51 - Lila.

01:15:52 - You're mistaken about Jayden.

01:15:54 His previous employer didn't have anything good

01:15:56 to say about him at all.

01:15:58 - Excellent.

01:15:59 Word.

01:16:00 Report this directly to Alexander, let him handle this.

01:16:03 - Understood, I'll take care of it.

01:16:05 - Chuck.

01:16:07 And I'm coming back.

01:16:15 (phone ringing)

01:16:17 - Michelle?

01:16:21 What's this?

01:16:22 - Jayden, I can explain.

01:16:26 - Explain?

01:16:27 These pictures?

01:16:28 These recordings?

01:16:29 What else is there to explain?

01:16:32 - I'm sick.

01:16:33 You have to let me explain.

01:16:36 - You played me like a fool, huh?

01:16:38 All the hangouts, late night outs that I've asked you about,

01:16:42 you always said you just go out with your friends.

01:16:44 Is that what it is?

01:16:45 You've been cheating on my back?

01:16:48 - Please, let me explain.

01:16:50 - I left my wife for you, hmm?

01:16:52 I left Lila for you.

01:16:54 And this is how you repay me?

01:16:57 You've cheated on my back?

01:16:59 - Don't blame me for the failure of your marriage.

01:17:03 You decided to let her go.

01:17:04 You decided to be unfaithful.

01:17:06 And so what if I go and check out another man?

01:17:10 It's not like we're married.

01:17:11 - I have freedom to do whatever it is I desire.

01:17:15 So spare me nonsense.

01:17:17 - Is that all you have to say?

01:17:19 - What else is there to say?

01:17:21 This is not what it looks like.

01:17:23 - Pack your things and leave.

01:17:26 Get out.

01:17:27 - Alexander, we need to talk.

01:17:41 - Yes, Lila, we should talk.

01:17:43 I knew nothing about you, and yet untrusted you.

01:17:48 I gave you everything to fall in love with me.

01:17:50 And then I looked into your eyes right before you left

01:17:52 and I realized I already lost the battle.

01:17:55 There's something changed inside.

01:17:58 - I've been carrying an enormous amount of secrets.

01:18:02 And it's been crushing my soul.

01:18:04 - What was here to talk, Lila?

01:18:06 What happened?

01:18:07 - It's Jaden.

01:18:09 He betrayed me, Alexander.

01:18:11 He cheated on me.

01:18:13 He broke my heart.

01:18:15 And he shattered everything that was left of me.

01:18:19 He's...

01:18:20 - I'm so sorry.

01:18:25 It must be incredibly painful.

01:18:28 - It was.

01:18:29 I just can't let it go.

01:18:31 - I was here to help you.

01:18:33 You're not alone.

01:18:34 You don't have to carry this alone anymore.

01:18:37 - You can't help me, Alexander.

01:18:39 I know that you're a good man,

01:18:41 but I just can't give you what you want of me right now.

01:18:44 Until I make Jaden suffer for what he did to me,

01:18:48 I will not let go of my past.

01:18:52 - You don't have to do it that way.

01:18:54 Mr. Lane, she will give you nothing.

01:18:57 Just let it go.

01:18:58 - It's too late.

01:19:00 I can't let it go.

01:19:02 I already started this journey of revenge

01:19:05 and I will finish it no matter what.

01:19:08 - You're better than that.

01:19:09 You don't have to do this.

01:19:10 I'm here, I can erase all the pain he caused you.

01:19:13 - Until I make Jaden Phillips pay, I will not stop.

01:19:17 - Jaden Phillips?

01:19:21 My new head of finance?

01:19:24 - Yeah.

01:19:26 Jaden Phillips.

01:19:27 Your new head of finance.

01:19:34 - Jaden, could you come to my office, please?

01:19:38 - Yes, right now.

01:19:39 - You wanted to see me, sir?

01:19:44 - Yes, Jaden.

01:19:45 I'd like you to meet someone.

01:19:47 - Lila!

01:19:50 What are you doing here?

01:19:52 - Hello, Jaden.

01:19:53 Surprise, surprise.

01:19:55 I'm Alexander's secretary

01:19:57 and a major shareholder for company's new venture.

01:20:00 It was actually I who recommended you for this job.

01:20:03 - Wait, what, how?

01:20:04 - Right now, Lila is much more than just a secretary.

01:20:09 As you've heard, she's one of the major shareholders

01:20:12 of our new company.

01:20:14 So you'd better speak to her very carefully.

01:20:16 - Shareholder?

01:20:18 How did that happen?

01:20:19 - You know what, that's not important.

01:20:20 We're here to talk about you

01:20:22 and let's just cut straight to the chase.

01:20:24 We found some pretty shady records

01:20:27 from your previous employer.

01:20:29 - No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:20:30 That, how?

01:20:31 - That's not true.

01:20:32 - It is true.

01:20:35 And now, unfortunately, we'll have to let you go.

01:20:41 - Lila, how did you come here?

01:20:43 I thought you were a waitress.

01:20:47 - It's nothing personal.

01:20:49 I'm sorry, but we won't be needing our services here.

01:20:53 - And I trust Lila's judgments.

01:20:55 I think now, Jaden, it's just time for you to leave.

01:20:59 Oh, and by the way, I heard about your little fight

01:21:01 with Michelle.

01:21:02 Oh, I'm so sorry about that.

01:21:04 You can go now.

01:21:05 Get out of here.

01:21:06 - You're nothing but evil, Lila.

01:21:09 - He's so good to him.

01:21:14 (knocking)

01:21:17 - Who's there?

01:21:18 - You're a snake, man.

01:21:24 - You?

01:21:25 What are you doing here, huh?

01:21:27 Haven't you done enough?

01:21:28 - Oh, look at you.

01:21:30 You're such a mess.

01:21:33 I never thought I'd see you like this.

01:21:35 Oh, actually, that's a lie.

01:21:38 That is all I ever wanted,

01:21:40 ever since you put me out in the snow all by myself.

01:21:44 I wanted to see you suffer.

01:21:47 I waited, and I saw you lose everything you love

01:21:52 and everyone you love,

01:21:55 including that little mistress of yours.

01:21:57 It's such a shame, though.

01:21:58 I didn't think that this would happen so fast.

01:22:01 But here we are.

01:22:03 - You're a bitch.

01:22:05 You deserve nothing but betrayal.

01:22:09 You always wanted to be the perfect one,

01:22:11 and you made me feel less.

01:22:13 Everyone was always saying,

01:22:15 "Lila, Lila, the perfect one."

01:22:18 - Wow, is that why you hated me?

01:22:21 Because I made you feel less?

01:22:23 You are an asshole,

01:22:27 and you deserve everything that's happened to you.

01:22:30 - You're sick, Lila, you're sick.

01:22:32 - Thank you. - You're a jerk.

01:22:34 - You're pathetic.

01:22:35 Oh, I have an idea.

01:22:37 Why don't you ask Michelle to come help you with this mess?

01:22:41 Oh, sorry, my bad.

01:22:42 I forgot, she left you.

01:22:44 - Rot in hell.

01:22:47 - I'm sure there's enough place for both of us here.

01:22:51 Chow now.

01:22:55 (screaming)

01:22:57 - I never thought that we'd be here together like this.

01:23:05 - Yeah, look at you, Lila.

01:23:06 All grown up, and a big shot in the corporate world.

01:23:09 - Thank you, James.

01:23:10 I really appreciate your support.

01:23:12 I had nobody to go to when I was left out there

01:23:15 in the snow all by myself,

01:23:17 and I had nobody to help me.

01:23:19 And you helped pick up the pieces of my life.

01:23:22 - It's all right, Lila.

01:23:24 You're family now.

01:23:25 - You know I've always admired your intelligence.

01:23:28 I'm really glad you're now a part of my business.

01:23:30 - Convander, thank you for saying something

01:23:33 I didn't say in myself.

01:23:35 You helped me a bunch.

01:23:38 - I understand everything.

01:23:41 I hope you will heal from all the pain

01:23:44 that chicken cost you.

01:23:46 Let that be a new chapter in your life, right?

01:23:52 Without the both of you,

01:23:54 it would have been a totally different story for me.

01:23:58 That day when I made you under the snow

01:24:07 should have been the surest day of my life.

01:24:10 I was so sure that we would end up together.

01:24:14 Only you'd love me as much as I did.

01:24:20 I had kids and I broke a terrible meal.

01:24:23 (light piano music)

01:24:27 I used everyone around me to hurt you.

01:24:30 But you're still the only one that I've ever loved.

01:24:35 And now, we're gonna face loneliness

01:24:38 for the rest of our lives.

01:24:40 They all say that I'm strong,

01:24:42 and this is the life that I have to live now.

01:24:48 But I will find peace.
