00:00:00 Let Leon go. I'm marrying Vincent like you asked.
00:00:04 Patience is a virtue. Besides, the groom isn't even here yet.
00:00:08 Stay back!
00:00:10 Leon?
00:00:11 Your brother only breathes because I allow it.
00:00:15 Don't test me, fellow Miller.
00:00:17 Don't hurt him!
00:00:19 That's not up to you.
00:00:23 I can't wait to meet the Vincent Owens.
00:00:27 Filth paired with filth. There won't be a more fitting match.
00:00:31 Rumor has it that he's a boozehound.
00:00:33 He's squandering money like he made it himself.
00:00:36 He doesn't even care about his family.
00:00:38 He's worthless. Not fit to shine Reginald's shoes.
00:00:42 Rightful heir.
00:00:44 I heard he likes to hang with common gangster scum.
00:00:48 I'm so scared.
00:00:50 Don't worry, babe. I got this.
00:00:55 V, where are you? I don't want to marry a stranger.
00:01:00 Do you know who I am?
00:01:04 I work for Reginald Owens.
00:01:06 You're dead. Dead!
00:01:08 Quit your yapping.
00:01:10 Lapdog.
00:01:12 Vincent Owens?
00:01:14 How dare you defy your brother, Reginald?
00:01:16 He's your brother. The true heir.
00:01:22 That bastard child.
00:01:23 Doesn't matter anymore. Mrs. Owens bit the dust ten years ago.
00:01:27 All for the family. Your dad doesn't seem to mind though.
00:01:30 That might be true.
00:01:32 But he and his mother murdered mine.
00:01:36 How is that possible?
00:01:38 That is none of your concern.
00:01:39 What?
00:01:40 You either listen to me, the true heir, or you die.
00:01:47 Sir, the wedding's about to start.
00:01:52 Bride's waiting.
00:01:54 Wedding?
00:01:55 The engagement arranged by Mr. Harold.
00:01:58 The young lady from the Miller family.
00:02:01 You promised.
00:02:02 Still, appearances must be kept, yes?
00:02:06 Typical. He's late.
00:02:09 I'm sorry.
00:02:16 Bella Miller?
00:02:19 Sorry, it's business you understand.
00:02:22 It's okay.
00:02:24 I'm leaving here.
00:02:29 Isn't that a good thing?
00:02:34 But I...
00:02:35 What about you?
00:02:37 Here.
00:02:41 Here.
00:02:42 For when we meet again.
00:02:51 It's so beautiful.
00:02:54 I'm gonna become the best designer in the world and design the best necklace.
00:03:00 Why are you here, Serena?
00:03:03 And how did you become Bella Miller?
00:03:09 Mr. Owens.
00:03:11 I'm sorry. Um...
00:03:14 Shall we proceed?
00:03:16 We are all gathered before God here today.
00:03:19 Vincent, do you take Miss Miller as your wife?
00:03:22 I do.
00:03:24 Bella, do you take Mr. Owens as your husband?
00:03:29 I do.
00:03:32 [applause]
00:03:34 Aw. Match made in heaven. Bravo.
00:03:44 I did what you said. Now honor our agreement.
00:03:47 Agreement?
00:03:49 Mom, do you know anything about an agreement with Mrs. Owens?
00:03:54 Of course.
00:03:55 Serena said when she marries into the Owens family,
00:03:58 she will pay us back for our kindness tenfold.
00:04:01 What? I never said that.
00:04:03 Serena, you are so selfish.
00:04:06 If we hadn't picked you out of that orphanage,
00:04:09 you would never be enjoying the wonderful life that you are today.
00:04:13 What do you want? Five hundred thousand?
00:04:15 Five hundred thousand? Have some self-worth, Serena.
00:04:19 You kept me in a basement for ten years.
00:04:24 Leon and I had to feed off of table scraps. What more could you take from me?
00:04:28 I'm sorry. Is something the matter?
00:04:30 Oh, the bashing husband now. Are we...
00:04:35 We were just discussing the debt of gratitude, you know.
00:04:39 How much is it? I'll take care of it.
00:04:41 You?
00:04:43 Can you afford it?
00:04:46 Five million. Is that enough?
00:04:50 No.
00:04:51 Sounds good.
00:04:53 Sounds good?
00:04:54 That's great.
00:04:55 You think your grandpa's table scraps is enough?
00:04:58 Okay, well, what do you want?
00:05:01 All of it.
00:05:02 I want you out of this family.
00:05:07 I'll bark and no bite.
00:05:09 As per the usual.
00:05:11 Just let this be a warning.
00:05:14 Don't come near me or mine ever again.
00:05:17 Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:05:18 Let go of me. Why do you care?
00:05:22 I'm helping you.
00:05:23 You think money can solve everything? They are keeping my brother prisoner.
00:05:27 I'm sorry. I didn't know that.
00:05:28 Let me make this clear. You are not the man that I wish to marry.
00:05:32 And that five million, I will pay you back as soon as I can.
00:05:36 Money is not the...
00:05:37 Okay, look. I know that you don't see us as a real couple, but we need to look the part for grandpa.
00:05:42 And once that's over, if you want a divorce, I can accept that.
00:05:46 Okay. But whatever that was today, that can never happen again.
00:05:51 I don't need you saving...
00:05:54 Well, he's quite convinced now, sir.
00:06:07 Just don't tell grandpa.
00:06:09 Well, Mr. Owens clearly knows about your mother.
00:06:13 Becoming the heir is the only true way to avenge my mother. That's all that matters.
00:06:18 Also, look into my new wife for me.
00:06:22 Bella Miller?
00:06:23 No. The real Bella Miller was standing next to Reginald.
00:06:28 I want to know what those bastards did to her.
00:06:32 [Train horn]
00:06:34 Sorry. I was just intrigued by your designs.
00:06:48 Hm. What are they for?
00:06:53 Just some freelance work.
00:06:55 I mean, you've got some serious skills. You could secure some high-level work with this.
00:07:00 I mean, you know, Architects is the best design company in the country. You should give them a shot.
00:07:05 Hey. Um, you got a job interview?
00:07:14 I have an interview at Inovar.
00:07:16 Oh, alright. Well, uh, good luck.
00:07:18 Thanks.
00:07:19 Um, I wanted three, but I guess I'll toast another.
00:07:26 Okay, she's gone.
00:07:29 [Door opens]
00:07:30 Introduce yourself, please.
00:07:35 I'm Serena Collins. I have extensive experience in design, and I really hope to join this company.
00:07:41 Do you have any actual experience in corporate design?
00:07:45 These are my designs.
00:07:47 Impressive.
00:07:52 Did you design these yourself? Or...
00:07:55 Can you prove you actually designed these?
00:07:58 I mean, everyone can trace a design.
00:08:01 Pick any of these, and I will explain them in great detail.
00:08:05 No need. You don't even meet our basic requirements. It's over.
00:08:10 But I...
00:08:11 Sorry. You just indeed lack work experience. It's just not a match for us right now.
00:08:22 These designs were so unique. I feel like I've seen them somewhere.
00:08:25 I've seen people like her before. Copying other people's work.
00:08:29 How could her designs resemble Aura's style more than mine?
00:08:34 How did Serena's interview go?
00:08:37 She didn't pass.
00:08:39 Sorry, brother.
00:08:41 The interviewer was Bella Miller. She was promoted to be the manager of the design department.
00:08:49 No, I've seen Serena's designs. Hers are obviously more impressive than this.
00:08:54 Just find out how Bella got in. And while you're at it, keep an eye on the election.
00:08:58 Understood.
00:09:00 By the way, I found out that the Millers bought them from the orphanage, though I can't find a trace of this Leon.
00:09:07 Just... keep looking.
00:09:11 Hey.
00:09:17 Hey.
00:09:18 Are you okay?
00:09:19 Why are you here?
00:09:21 I'm here to pick you up.
00:09:23 Thanks. But unfortunately, I didn't pass.
00:09:27 Don't worry. A diamond always shines through no matter what.
00:09:31 Come on. Let's go.
00:09:33 Guess who I interviewed today? Serena Collins.
00:09:38 Fake Bella? Did you let her pass?
00:09:41 Do you even need to ask?
00:09:44 You should come around to the office more often, my darling CEO.
00:09:48 Everyone knows you're the future wife of the chairman. No need to show off.
00:09:53 Well, what do you think?
00:09:59 It's wonderful. I didn't think you'd be such a good cook. Everyone says that.
00:10:04 That I'm a loser.
00:10:06 Sorry. No. You shouldn't care about what others say. Thank you for today.
00:10:11 I didn't expect to come home to such a nice meal.
00:10:15 If Inovar doesn't want me, there are plenty of other companies.
00:10:19 Serena, I don't think today was your fault.
00:10:21 She's always hated me.
00:10:23 I know you're not the real Bella Miller.
00:10:26 She's your sister, right?
00:10:29 What? Who told you that?
00:10:32 You said your brother is being held captive, and I don't think anybody would imprison their own child.
00:10:37 Please don't tell anyone.
00:10:39 Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.
00:10:43 Uh...
00:10:44 Sorry, I should probably...
00:10:46 You do your thing.
00:10:48 Yeah?
00:10:51 The lady's foster parents are still being difficult about Leon.
00:10:55 Don't they own a design company? I mean, just apply some pressure.
00:10:59 What? I passed the interview?
00:11:03 Okay.
00:11:05 I got the job.
00:11:08 Oh my gosh. Come here.
00:11:10 Come here.
00:11:12 Hey, babe.
00:11:16 What are you doing here?
00:11:18 I thought I told you you weren't qualified.
00:11:21 This is my offer.
00:11:24 So you pulled strings?
00:11:28 Bella's our manager. If she says you aren't good...
00:11:31 You aren't.
00:11:33 I don't think she takes kindly to being spoken for, miss.
00:11:37 How dare you talk like that?
00:11:39 Don't you know Bella is the future wife of the CEO of Inovar?
00:11:44 The future heir of the Owens. Have you been living under a rock?
00:11:48 Okay, I don't know who you had to sleep with to get here, but this is my house and my rules.
00:11:55 You can either revise these before you leave today, or get out.
00:12:06 Just... just bear with her.
00:12:09 Hey. It's so late and you're still not done with this?
00:12:18 Thanks. Yeah, it was the first day and she's already giving me a hard time.
00:12:24 Bella Miller could be trouble. I need to pay her a visit.
00:12:32 [knock on door]
00:12:35 These are the design drafts revised yesterday and the one based on the motion brief. Please take a look.
00:12:43 I told you if you can't do it on time, you might as well not do it at all.
00:12:46 You can look at the drafts I made. They've all been approved by the client.
00:12:51 Not good enough.
00:12:53 What? At least tell me what the problem is.
00:12:56 Bella is your line manager. If she says it's not enough, it's not enough.
00:13:01 I'm willing to fix any mistakes that I made, but I can't do anything if you don't tell me what the problem is.
00:13:07 You think this is just about revising?
00:13:10 The client will be here any minute. What are we supposed to present?
00:13:14 [phone rings]
00:13:16 Hi. Oh, you're downstairs. Okay, perfect. I'll be down in just a minute.
00:13:23 Conference room two. Now.
00:13:26 Good job. We have the shares now.
00:13:32 Reginald's still in the dark.
00:13:34 Well, it's time to surprise him then.
00:13:38 I'm glad you're here. Serena, fetch us some coffee.
00:13:44 How could it have been so long?
00:13:46 I didn't expect for us to collaborate again so soon.
00:13:49 Well, take a look at this draft.
00:13:51 How are the projections looking?
00:13:53 We've added twenty new brand partners, and we're expecting three billion in profits this quarter.
00:13:57 That's good. And how is our collaboration with Motion going?
00:14:00 The representative of Motion's already meeting with them in conference room two.
00:14:03 Okay. By the way, Bella was...
00:14:05 Um, what are you doing here?
00:14:16 Uh, business? What are you doing here?
00:14:21 I have a meeting. Um, see you.
00:14:24 If this one doesn't work, I can always pin it on Serena.
00:14:37 These designs are really not what we're looking for.
00:14:45 You know what, you're right. I had a rookie who started yesterday design these.
00:14:50 I wanted her to practice.
00:14:52 Bella, what are you talking about?

00:15:56 Sorry, who's thinking about firing Serena?
00:16:00 Achieve this success at only 27.
00:16:03 I mean, I'd be lying if I didn't say it feels pretty damn good.
00:16:06 Joey, I'm sorry!
00:16:08 What the hell is he doing here?
00:16:10 Here's your coffee. Enjoy, Mr. Preston.
00:16:13 Can you go get me a new one?
00:16:15 Your ex-fiance is back in the States and why don't you just tell him the truth?
00:16:19 There's no need for that. It's all in the past.
00:16:22 If you really loved him, you would stop dragging him down with you.
00:16:26 Why would I still have feelings for a gold digger?
00:16:31 Maybe you two have a misunderstanding.
00:16:33 You have a girlfriend?
00:16:36 So you are jealous?
00:16:38 Why'd you have to come back?
00:16:40 It wasn't for revenge.
00:16:41 I think God had you two cross paths again for a reason.
00:16:44 Maybe you two have a second chance.
00:16:51 Why do I still love you?
00:16:53 Hey, Elena, I've been trying to call you. Is everything okay?
00:17:05 Noah, I'm busy. I need to get to work.
00:17:08 Hey, you've been acting weird. Did I do something wrong?
00:17:11 Elena, baby, come on.
00:17:14 How about after you're done with work, let's go get some ice cream, okay?
00:17:17 We can get you a favorite. It's chocolate.
00:17:19 I think that we should break up.
00:17:21 That's not funny.
00:17:24 Seriously, when you're done with work, we'll go talk--
00:17:26 Go get ice cream? What are we, 12?
00:17:28 Real men, they get their women handbags and jewelry.
00:17:32 I really thought about it, and I just can't imagine spending the rest of my life with you.
00:17:37 Look at the size of this diamond on the ring. It's only like, what, half a carat?
00:17:42 You want to marry me, but what do you have?
00:17:45 You have nothing. You have no house, no car.
00:17:49 Elena, what has gotten into you?
00:17:56 I've known you for six years.
00:17:58 You and I both know that you don't care about any of that.
00:18:00 I'm working hard, but I just need some time, Elena.
00:18:03 It's gonna be all right.
00:18:04 Hey, Elena, you ready?
00:18:06 My ride is here.
00:18:08 Elena, let's--
00:18:09 Noah, stop wasting my time. I'm only young once.
00:18:12 Why should I wait around for somebody like you when there's somebody like Peter that already has it all?
00:18:16 This? I never want to wear cheap shit like this ever again.
00:18:21 So you want to do this?
00:18:31 Let's do it.
00:18:32 [♪♪♪]
00:18:43 I'm sorry, Noah. I'm doing this for you.
00:18:47 [♪♪♪]
00:18:55 Hey, Mama. I know you could hear me.
00:18:59 I'm so happy I wanted to share the good news with you.
00:19:01 Noah proposed, and we're getting married.
00:19:04 You're my everything, Elena.
00:19:08 Mom.
00:19:13 Would you be a sweetheart and go and pick me up a cup of coffee downstairs?
00:19:18 Of course. I'll see you in a second.
00:19:21 Thank you.
00:19:22 How's your mom, Elena?
00:19:26 I haven't given up hope.
00:19:28 When I heard that Noah had proposed to you,
00:19:31 I felt more hopelessness than I have ever experienced in my whole life.
00:19:36 What are you talking about? What is it, Preston?
00:19:38 Noah's been accepted to Oxford on a Fulbright program.
00:19:42 This is his last chance.
00:19:45 He never told me.
00:19:47 You know something else that he didn't tell you?
00:19:49 Four years ago, he turned down Harvard to be here with you.
00:19:52 He's giving up everything
00:19:54 to stay in this God-forsaken town
00:19:57 and take care of this God-forsaken mother of yours.
00:20:01 I love him, Mrs. Preston.
00:20:03 If you really loved him, you would stop dragging him down with you.
00:20:08 Leave him, Elena.
00:20:13 Your mother is your own burden. Don't put that on my son.
00:20:16 Why are you doing this to me, Elena?
00:20:22 [music]
00:20:24 Oh, my God.
00:20:26 He's dying. He's so hot.
00:20:28 He really--oh, my God.
00:20:30 Oh, they really do.
00:20:32 He knows it.
00:20:33 Oh, he knows what he is doing.
00:20:35 Yeah.
00:20:36 That interview really hooked him, too.
00:20:38 Congratulations.
00:20:39 Your company, Triple AI, has just become publicly traded
00:20:42 and valued to be over $50 billion.
00:20:45 How does it feel to achieve this success at only 27?
00:20:48 I mean, I'd be lying if I didn't say it feels pretty damn good.
00:20:51 Can you share with us your secret to success?
00:20:54 If my sources are correct,
00:20:56 you're the epitome of the American dream, aren't you?
00:20:59 You come from small-town America,
00:21:00 raised by a single mother,
00:21:02 and now you're a multibillionaire.
00:21:04 There's no secret to success.
00:21:06 It's just hard work and some good luck.
00:21:08 Come on, you have to give me more than that.
00:21:11 What got you through your most difficult times?
00:21:14 I'll give you this.
00:21:16 In my most trying times,
00:21:18 I do often think about the girl that I used to love.
00:21:21 In my most trying times,
00:21:26 I do often think about the girl that I used to love.
00:21:29 That's so sweet.
00:21:30 Did her love give you strength?
00:21:32 No.
00:21:33 It was the opposite, actually.
00:21:34 She dumped me and told me to stop wasting her time,
00:21:37 and then she rode off with some trust fund baby,
00:21:39 and I've never seen her again.
00:21:40 Well, if she's watching this now,
00:21:43 she must be regretting her decision.
00:21:45 Would you ever take her back?
00:21:46 Well, I think the answer to that is pretty obvious.
00:21:48 But I do need to thank her,
00:21:49 'cause she did teach me some very valuable life lessons.
00:21:52 Now I know the only person you can count on in this world
00:21:55 is yourself.
00:21:56 That, ladies and gentlemen, are words of wisdom.
00:21:58 Mr. Preston, let's talk about your goals for the future.
00:22:01 I wonder who's the dumb bitch that loves Noah Preston.
00:22:05 I would die from regret.
00:22:07 He's so hot.
00:22:08 I'd be with him even if he had no money.
00:22:10 No money at all.
00:22:11 Wait, Elena, didn't you go to UMCP?
00:22:14 Same school as Noah Preston?
00:22:16 Never met him in my life.
00:22:18 Why would a loser like Elena know someone like Noah Preston?
00:22:22 She probably only ever hung out with nerds.
00:22:25 I can't concentrate on my work with you two gossiping.
00:22:29 I'm leaving.
00:22:31 Oh, my God.
00:22:32 Mr. Preston, thank you so much for the exclusive today.
00:22:36 The pleasure was all mine.
00:22:37 Mr. Preston, there's a nice little bar
00:22:40 just a couple blocks down.
00:22:41 Can I buy you a drink?
00:22:43 Um, oh.
00:22:46 I have an important meeting coming up tomorrow, actually.
00:22:49 But how about we just rain check,
00:22:52 and I'll take you out later?
00:22:53 Sure.
00:22:54 Aaron, has Crazy Maple Studios got back about our offer to meet?
00:23:04 Of course, boss.
00:23:05 Their CEO is thrilled about it.
00:23:07 But--
00:23:08 But what?
00:23:10 I'm sorry, I'm just a little bit confused.
00:23:12 We're a tech company.
00:23:13 Crazy Maple Studios is an entertainment company.
00:23:16 Why are we investing in them?
00:23:18 It's been five years, Elena Campbell.
00:23:20 I'm not looking to just invest in them, Aaron.
00:23:23 I'm looking to acquire Crazy Maple Studios,
00:23:26 even if it means we have to break them into pieces.
00:23:30 Ladies!
00:23:32 I'm gonna need all three of you.
00:23:34 Where the hell's Elena?
00:23:36 Oh, I think she just went to go get her nails done.
00:23:39 Really? During work hours?
00:23:41 Mm-hmm.
00:23:42 You know what?
00:23:43 I'm gonna deal with her later.
00:23:45 This is last minute,
00:23:46 but we have a huge potential investor coming in tomorrow.
00:23:49 All right?
00:23:50 I'm gonna need all three of you to come in extra early.
00:23:52 Well, who is it?
00:23:53 Who?
00:23:54 Noah fucking Preston!
00:23:58 Yeah.
00:24:10 Hey, Abigail.
00:24:11 Uh, the boss wanted me to tell you to come in later tomorrow at ten.
00:24:15 He wants you to grab coffee and snacks for an important guest.
00:24:18 Okay. Got it.
00:24:20 [laughing]
00:24:25 Elena!
00:24:27 Oh, my God.
00:24:28 Guess what I saw today.
00:24:30 Noah Preston's interview?
00:24:32 I know. I saw.
00:24:34 Are you okay?
00:24:36 I mean, your ex-fiance is back in the States,
00:24:40 and not only that, he's back in Los Angeles.
00:24:42 What if you run into him?
00:24:44 Los Angeles is a huge city.
00:24:47 There's no way I'm gonna run into him.
00:24:49 Besides, we haven't spoken in five years.
00:24:51 And he's the Noah Preston now,
00:24:55 CEO of AAAI, a multi-billionaire,
00:24:59 and I'm a nobody.
00:25:00 Just goes to show his mother was right about me.
00:25:03 I was dragging him down the whole time.
00:25:05 Okay.
00:25:06 Don't talk about my best friend like that.
00:25:09 Plus, he wouldn't be where he is without you.
00:25:12 Why don't you just tell him the truth?
00:25:15 There's no need for that. It's all in the past.
00:25:18 You did the best that you could.
00:25:22 You took care of your mom and stayed with her till her last days,
00:25:25 and then you let Noah go to pursue his dreams.
00:25:28 You're one of the kindest people I know.
00:25:32 [giggles]
00:25:34 Where the hell is Elena?
00:25:41 It's already 9.15.
00:25:43 First she leaves early, now she's late.
00:25:45 I already called her.
00:25:48 Um, she woke up late.
00:25:51 She'll be here soon.
00:25:52 Great. Today.
00:25:54 Today of all days, Noah Preston is already outside.
00:25:57 [music]
00:25:59 Mr. Preston! Welcome!
00:26:17 Thank you for having me, Mr. Hemming.
00:26:19 Please, right this way.
00:26:22 [music]
00:26:24 Fuck. Of course she would.
00:26:39 So, Mr. Preston, we are a small company.
00:26:42 Only 25 employees.
00:26:44 These are our two senior writers.
00:26:46 We have Abigail and Iban.
00:26:48 Only two senior writers?
00:26:50 There, uh, well, we have a third.
00:26:53 Um, uh, Elena Campbell.
00:26:55 She is--
00:26:56 Hey, Joey. I'm sorry.
00:26:58 [laughs]
00:27:00 She is out getting everyone coffee!
00:27:06 Thank you, Elena.
00:27:07 Don't just stand there. Put the coffee down.
00:27:09 Is this real? Is this a dream?
00:27:11 What the hell is he doing here?
00:27:13 Hi. I'm Noah Preston.
00:27:15 You must be Miss Campbell.
00:27:19 No, uh, I'm Mr. Preston.
00:27:22 Elena, what the hell is wrong with you today?
00:27:31 Anyway, uh, Mr. Preston, as I was saying,
00:27:37 we are a small company, but our team is strong.
00:27:41 If you two invest in us, I am confident
00:27:43 that we would see a return in profits within the year.
00:27:47 Well, Mr. Hemming, I would love it
00:27:49 if I could spend some time around the company
00:27:51 the next month before I make my decision.
00:27:53 Of course!
00:27:55 Of course. That is a great idea.
00:27:58 Would it be possible to assign someone to me
00:28:01 so I can learn how the day-to-day operations work?
00:28:04 Also, I'm new to L.A.
00:28:06 I just spent the last five years living overseas.
00:28:09 If someone could show me around,
00:28:11 I would also highly appreciate it.
00:28:14 Well, I really don't see that being a problem.
00:28:16 Ladies, do we have any volunteers?
00:28:18 Uh, Mr. Preston, um, I have a...
00:28:21 Mr. Preston, I'm Abigail Clark,
00:28:28 and I would love to show you L.A.
00:28:31 I'm born and raised here.
00:28:32 I'm Yvonne Jones, also born and raised in L.A.
00:28:35 Well, Abigail did volunteer first, so...
00:28:39 What about you, Miss Campbell?
00:28:42 [♪♪♪]
00:28:44 Uh, I'm not originally from L.A.
00:28:51 Abigail would be a much better fit.
00:28:53 You're not?
00:28:55 Where are you from?
00:28:57 Maryland.
00:28:59 Maryland?
00:29:01 What a coincidence.
00:29:03 It's not every day you meet a Marylander here in L.A.
00:29:07 Elena would be perfect.
00:29:09 Thank you, Mr. Hemming.
00:29:11 Uh...
00:29:13 No, it is no problem.
00:29:16 While you can consider Elena here your personal employee
00:29:20 from now going forward.
00:29:22 [♪♪♪]
00:29:24 What are you doing here, Noah?
00:29:32 Oh, good to see you too, Elena.
00:29:35 Although I prefer if it wasn't in the men's bathroom.
00:29:38 You're crap, Noah.
00:29:40 What are you doing in my company?
00:29:42 Didn't your boss tell you that I plan to invest?
00:29:45 Or acquire?
00:29:47 Why? So you can get revenge?
00:29:50 You show up at my company, pick me to show you around town.
00:29:53 So what, you could torment me?
00:29:55 And get me to quit my job?
00:29:57 No--
00:29:58 Who do you think you are, Elena?
00:30:01 What makes you think that I still care about you?
00:30:04 Don't flatter yourself.
00:30:06 I'm just here on business.
00:30:08 But now that you mention it, tormenting you does sound fun.
00:30:13 And if you can't deal with it, then just quit.
00:30:18 If you think I would quit my job just because you were here,
00:30:22 you don't know me at all.
00:30:24 You're right.
00:30:26 I thought I did, but apparently I know nothing about you.
00:30:31 Fine.
00:30:33 You know what? Game on.
00:30:36 But watch out, Noah. I might be the one tormenting you.
00:30:40 I'm looking forward to it.
00:30:43 Elena.
00:30:58 Something feels off about you today. What's going on?
00:31:01 Nothing is going on. I'm fine.
00:31:04 Do you know Noah Preston or something?
00:31:07 I mean, I always get this strange feeling when I was looking at you two today.
00:31:10 If I tell Joey, it will just make things more complicated.
00:31:13 No, of course not. He's Noah Preston.
00:31:16 Why would I know him?
00:31:18 All right. Anyway, I cannot stress enough how important it is for Mr. Preston
00:31:23 to invest in our company, especially in this economy.
00:31:26 I understand.
00:31:28 Why? Because since he picked you as his point of contact,
00:31:31 I'm going to need you to be on your best behavior.
00:31:34 Show him your professionalism.
00:31:36 Kiss his ass if you have to.
00:31:38 All right? Just make this deal happen. Clear?
00:31:41 You got it, boss.
00:31:43 Great.
00:31:45 [screams]
00:31:51 Stupid asshole.
00:31:53 Jesus. Are you giving birth in here or something?
00:31:56 No. Having a mental breakdown.
00:31:59 Valid. Yeah, I would too if my ex-fiancee just randomly showed up in my office.
00:32:05 Noah is definitely up to something.
00:32:08 Yeah, up to nothing good for sure.
00:32:11 Do you mind switching off the lights? I need to go to sleep.
00:32:14 Sure.
00:32:16 [phone rings]
00:32:19 Hello?
00:32:21 I'm hungry. I want food.
00:32:23 Noah?
00:32:25 I was thinking pizza.
00:32:27 But sushi also sounds nice.
00:32:29 I don't know.
00:32:31 So why are you calling me? There's a thing called DoorDash.
00:32:35 Yeah, but they take too long.
00:32:37 Besides, why would I do that when I got free labor?
00:32:40 It's 10.30, Noah. I'm not your maid.
00:32:43 Get your own damn food.
00:32:45 Okay. I guess I'll just have to call your boss.
00:32:48 I wonder what he's got to say about this.
00:32:51 Hey, just text me your address.
00:32:53 See you in 30 minutes.
00:32:55 [screams]
00:32:59 He is so in love with you. Can you believe this guy?
00:33:01 He is so in love with you.
00:33:03 [laughs]
00:33:31 What, coming in or are you just going to stare at me?
00:33:34 I'm not staring.
00:33:36 Here's your food.
00:33:38 I'm leaving.
00:33:42 Put it on my table.
00:33:46 This place is so nice.
00:33:59 You want a glass?
00:34:01 No.
00:34:03 It's getting late. If there's nothing else, I better get going.
00:34:09 Sit down, Elena.
00:34:11 It's been five years.
00:34:13 I think we have some catching up to do.
00:34:16 Wow. This is delicious.
00:34:22 What are you actually doing here, Noah?
00:34:24 Isn't your office based in San Francisco?
00:34:26 I told you I'm going to be doing more business in L.A.
00:34:28 So I figured I'd just buy a house here.
00:34:30 Cost me about $20 million.
00:34:32 Got a swimming pool in the back.
00:34:34 Wine cellar out back.
00:34:36 Everybody knows that you're rich now, though. You don't need to brag.
00:34:39 I'm not bragging.
00:34:41 Just stating facts.
00:34:43 So how did things end up with you and Peter?
00:34:46 That's none of your business.
00:34:48 I'm just curious. I don't see a ring on your finger.
00:34:51 Is he not good enough for you either, or what?
00:34:54 What are you trying to get at, Noah?
00:34:56 Just a little surprise to see you working is all.
00:34:58 I figured you'd be a housewife with a few kids by now.
00:35:01 I don't have the time or the energy to listen to you talk down to me.
00:35:13 So if there's nothing else, have a good night, Mr. Preston.
00:35:17 You're going to be seeing a lot more of me, Ms. Campbell.
00:35:21 So you better get used to life.
00:35:26 Goodbye, Ms. Campbell. I'll see you in the office tomorrow.
00:35:37 Goodbye, Ms. Campbell. I'll see you in the office tomorrow.
00:35:40 Ms. Campbell, that coffee you got me yesterday was fantastic.
00:35:55 Can you grab me another one?
00:35:57 You know what? That sounds great. Let's make it two.
00:36:00 Thanks, Alana.
00:36:03 You know, I don't know what Mr. Preston sees in you,
00:36:06 but just so you know, you don't stand a chance with him.
00:36:09 Yeah, what she said.
00:36:11 Do I look like I give a shit about Noah Preston?
00:36:13 If you'll excuse me.
00:36:15 You know, I have a friend who went to Oxford with Noah,
00:36:18 and she said that Noah has a girlfriend.
00:36:21 And the girlfriend is a woman.
00:36:24 And she's a woman.
00:36:26 And she's a woman.
00:36:28 And she said that Noah has a girlfriend.
00:36:31 And the girlfriend is moving to the States.
00:36:35 The girlfriend is moving to the States.
00:36:40 Of course he'd have a girlfriend.
00:36:42 It's been five years.
00:36:44 Abigail, I could give two fucks.
00:36:47 Oh, and the next time you try to pull one of those little stunts like you did yesterday,
00:36:51 I won't hesitate until Joey got all the kickbacks you've been getting from vendors.
00:36:55 Have a nice day, ladies.
00:36:58 Come in.
00:37:04 Mr. Preston, didn't you bring your own personal assistant with you?
00:37:08 Maybe next time have them grab your coffee. I'm quite busy with work.
00:37:12 Your boss was so kind to let me borrow you and this beautiful office.
00:37:15 Noah.
00:37:16 Are you saying he made a mistake?
00:37:18 Noah?
00:37:20 Yes, Elena.
00:37:22 Noah, here's your coffee. Enjoy, Mr. Preston.
00:37:26 That is too bitter. Can you go get me a new one?
00:37:33 Are you shitting me? This is how you always take your coffee. No cream, one sugar.
00:37:38 People can change, can't they?
00:37:42 [knocking]
00:37:44 Yeah? Oh, I hear you.
00:38:01 Here's a nice coffee, an Americano, regular coffee with cream and sugar on the side.
00:38:06 Oh, and a cappuccino. It's all there. Take your pick, Mr. Preston.
00:38:11 I don't want coffee anymore. I want tea.
00:38:14 It's Campbell.
00:38:19 Noah, cut it out. Not everyone is a billionaire like you.
00:38:23 I have a job to catch up on. I don't have time to play these games with you.
00:38:27 No, your boss really wants--
00:38:28 Yes, my boss is desperate for this murder to go through.
00:38:31 But you know what else he's desperate for? For me to meet my deadline.
00:38:34 My job is on the line here.
00:38:37 You may be a star everywhere you go, but I'm just an average girl with bills to pay.
00:38:42 Oh, fuck. Am I being an unbearable asshole?
00:38:50 No, I mean, come on. It's a fun word, right? Bulgogi.
00:38:55 Wasn't in England.
00:38:57 Elena! We are going to take Mr. Preston here to go try some Korean barbecue.
00:39:02 You want to come?
00:39:04 I'm going to finish up some work, but you guys go ahead.
00:39:06 Ah, come on. Cook your own meat.
00:39:09 Mr. Hemming, we're going to be late for our reservation.
00:39:12 Yeah, I really need to wrap this up. But you enjoy dinner.
00:39:16 All right. You're my best employee.
00:39:19 I really messed up. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this.
00:39:24 See you tomorrow.
00:39:27 I have to make this up to her.
00:39:31 [sigh]
00:39:33 Finally.
00:39:35 Get in. Let me give you a ride home.
00:39:47 Did he wait for me this whole time?
00:39:51 It's fine. I'm used to taking the bus.
00:39:56 [train whistle]
00:39:58 Miss Campbell, your address.
00:40:05 Uh, 1277 Stardust Lane.
00:40:08 What does he want from me?
00:40:11 Why am I even here?
00:40:14 [music]
00:40:16 Elena, how come you know?
00:40:38 [music]
00:40:40 Sir, we're here.
00:41:05 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:08 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:11 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:14 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:17 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:20 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:23 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:26 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:29 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
00:41:32 I'll see you tomorrow, Elena.
00:41:35 I'll see you tomorrow, Elena.
00:41:38 See you. Love you, baby.
00:41:41 Love you, too.
00:41:43 Okay, so let me get this straight.
00:41:58 He bullies you, and then he waits for you to drive home,
00:42:01 and then he almost kisses you.
00:42:04 I don't know about the last part.
00:42:06 That might have just been my imagination.
00:42:08 He probably hates me.
00:42:11 What's this?
00:42:13 I think Noah Preston is still in love with you.
00:42:16 That's impossible.
00:42:18 Not after what I did to him.
00:42:21 Not after what I did to him.
00:42:24 Plus, I heard he has a girlfriend.
00:42:26 Oh, bullshit. Have you seen her?
00:42:28 No, but I heard that she's moving here from London to be with him.
00:42:33 Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it.
00:42:35 I just don't understand why you can't start over with him.
00:42:38 I mean, he's already a billionaire.
00:42:40 Does his mom even care anymore?
00:42:42 It's been five years, Sarah.
00:42:44 Her further apart now than we have ever been.
00:42:46 Besides, he is the Noah Preston.
00:42:49 And I'm just nobody.
00:42:52 You have got to stop talking that way.
00:42:56 I'm just asking you to keep an open mind.
00:42:59 I think God had you two cross paths again for a reason.
00:43:03 Maybe you two have a second chance.
00:43:06 Noah?
00:43:25 It's 9am on a Saturday morning.
00:43:27 What could you possibly want now?
00:43:29 I need you to go buy a present for me.
00:43:32 Let's check it out.
00:43:33 Seems kind of sleazy to me.
00:43:35 I can't believe he's making me buy a present for some woman.
00:43:45 My day off.
00:43:47 I wonder who it is.
00:43:49 Did they give you a price range?
00:43:51 No.
00:43:53 I think you should just get something expensive.
00:43:55 Good taste.
00:43:57 Or very special lady.
00:43:59 It's probably his girlfriend.
00:44:01 Well, I mean if he's going to be like that,
00:44:04 you should buy something super expensive for yourself.
00:44:06 I mean, he's a billionaire.
00:44:08 It's not even like he's going to notice.
00:44:10 Do you ladies need help with anything?
00:44:12 Oh no, we're just looking.
00:44:14 Well, please be careful.
00:44:15 Everything in here is very expensive.
00:44:18 Excuse me?
00:44:20 What do you mean by that?
00:44:22 I think you two might have better luck at the Nordstrom Rack down the street.
00:44:25 We're a very high end boutique.
00:44:27 I'm not sure we have what you're looking for.
00:44:29 Are you calling us poor?
00:44:32 Are you calling us poor?
00:44:34 No, but I am so sorry you feel that way.
00:44:37 Excuse me?
00:44:38 Up.
00:44:39 Show me your most expensive handbag.
00:44:41 I beg your pardon?
00:44:44 Do you not work here?
00:44:46 I said, show me your most expensive handbag.
00:44:50 Let's be real, lady.
00:44:52 It's not like you can afford it.
00:44:54 So why don't you stop wasting my time?
00:44:56 Oh really?
00:44:57 Try me.
00:44:58 This is a limited edition handbag.
00:45:04 Handcrafted in Italy.
00:45:07 Made with Nile crocodile skin.
00:45:10 It retails for $25,000.
00:45:14 Great.
00:45:15 I'll take it.
00:45:18 Great.
00:45:19 I can't believe I just spent $25,000 on a stupid handbag.
00:45:30 Is Noah going to kill me?
00:45:32 Ma'am, please tap or insert your card.
00:45:34 He has billions.
00:45:37 He probably won't care, right?
00:45:39 For a transaction this big, I'm going to need to see some ID.
00:45:43 For a transaction this big, I'm going to need to see some ID.
00:45:46 This card and ID don't match. I can't accept this.
00:45:57 Hey lady, what's your problem?
00:45:59 I don't see you asking anyone else in this store for their ID.
00:46:03 Company policy.
00:46:04 For any transaction over $1,000, I have to check ID.
00:46:07 And I'm so glad I did because you two are clearly credit card thieves.
00:46:11 That card belongs to her husband.
00:46:14 You may have heard of him.
00:46:16 Noah Preston, CEO of AAAI.
00:46:19 Oh really?
00:46:20 You expect me to believe that your husband is Noah Preston?
00:46:25 Oh my gosh, did you steal this card too?
00:46:28 You know what? If you don't want my business, I'm just going to take it elsewhere.
00:46:33 Nuh-uh. That's it.
00:46:34 I'm calling the police.
00:46:40 Officer, these two were trying to commit credit card fraud.
00:46:43 I knew there was something off the second they walked in.
00:46:46 You said this is your husband's card.
00:46:52 Uh, fiance, not husband. Fiance.
00:46:56 But they are getting married soon.
00:46:58 Fuck me.
00:47:00 I was asking you, miss.
00:47:02 He's my fiance.
00:47:04 First you say husband, now you say fiance.
00:47:07 Do you even hear yourself?
00:47:09 You don't sound so sure.
00:47:11 Officer, I bet you she's lying.
00:47:13 I'm going to need you to call your fiance and have him come clear this up.
00:47:17 I can't just call him. He's busy.
00:47:20 Miss, either you call him or I'll take you down to the station. Your choice.
00:47:25 Here, I'll call him.
00:47:27 Just you wait.
00:47:29 [music]
00:47:45 He says he'll be here in ten.
00:47:47 You got ten minutes.
00:47:50 It's been fifteen minutes.
00:47:55 Where is that fiance of yours?
00:47:58 What? More lies?
00:48:00 Is he really going to come?
00:48:02 God, I don't know which is worse.
00:48:04 Alright, that's it.
00:48:05 You ladies are coming down to the station with me.
00:48:07 Please stand up. Put your hands behind your back.
00:48:09 Wait.
00:48:11 Please. Come on.
00:48:12 [music]
00:48:23 What? No.
00:48:24 Come on.
00:48:25 Sorry, I was getting late.
00:48:26 [music]
00:48:30 This hurts all new tackle.
00:48:32 Seems to be the problem here, officer.
00:48:35 You're a Noah Preston?
00:48:37 Yeah, can't you tell?
00:48:39 Oh yeah, okay. You are.
00:48:42 Nice to meet you in person, Mr. Preston.
00:48:44 Sorry for any trouble, officer.
00:48:46 I'm going to work on getting my future wife here a card with her name on it.
00:48:52 In the meantime, I'm going to make a fat donation to the boys down at the station.
00:48:56 Oh, that's greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
00:49:00 And miss, so sorry about that miss.
00:49:03 You guys enjoy the rest of your shopping.
00:49:05 Ma'am.
00:49:06 Now.
00:49:09 What's this I hear about someone giving my fiance a hard time?
00:49:19 [music]
00:49:24 I'm good.
00:49:25 That's more like it.
00:49:28 [music]
00:49:38 So the handbag, huh?
00:49:40 You said something expensive with taste.
00:49:44 Mr. and Mrs. Preston, I can get that bag set up for you right now.
00:49:48 Is there anything else that I can help you with?
00:49:50 Anything else in here catch your eye?
00:49:52 Why are you asking me? You're the one in need of a present.
00:49:56 How about you show us your jewelry collection?
00:49:59 I'm so glad you asked.
00:50:01 Who is he buying these for? Definitely a lover.
00:50:06 Real men, they get their women handbags and jewelry.
00:50:10 This is our latest collection.
00:50:15 We have diamonds, Koya pearls, sapphires, emeralds.
00:50:20 What do you think, sweetheart?
00:50:22 Looks pretty average to me, darling.
00:50:29 Mrs. Preston, I can assure you that our designers are the best in the industry.
00:50:34 I am so sorry for when you and your friend first came in.
00:50:38 That was very unprofessional of me. I apologize.
00:50:43 This isn't for me anyway.
00:50:45 I guess no girl can say no to this.
00:50:50 Oh, I have excellent taste.
00:50:53 That is top grade Colombian emerald.
00:50:56 You know, we're having a special on all of our jewelry.
00:51:00 I can get you-- We'll take it.
00:51:02 Wonderful. I'll get that packed up right now.
00:51:07 No. We'll take all of it.
00:51:10 How many girlfriends do you actually have?
00:51:13 I can't wait to see you put them on.
00:51:20 Thank you, Mr. Preston. Your total was $295,000.
00:51:25 And here's my card.
00:51:28 If you ever need anything in the future, I would love to help.
00:51:32 Don't give that to me. I'm not the one that's going to be shopping here.
00:51:35 Next time my girl comes in, you know what to do, right?
00:51:38 Yes. Yes, of course.
00:51:41 Great. Because my wife deserves nothing but the best.
00:51:45 Hey, Noah, I'm going to take these bags outside.
00:51:50 I'll come with you. Thanks again, Noah, for everything.
00:51:53 You're welcome, Sarah.
00:51:55 So, sweetheart, what do you want to do now?
00:52:00 You can drop the act, Noah. You have enough presents for 20 women.
00:52:05 So if there's nothing else, I'll be going home.
00:52:08 Not even a thank you. Even Sarah knows to appreciate me.
00:52:13 I just saved you from the cops.
00:52:15 I wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't ask me to go shopping for your girlfriend.
00:52:20 Girlfriends.
00:52:22 So you are jealous.
00:52:29 So you are jealous.
00:52:31 Your dreams, Noah.
00:52:44 Let go of me.
00:52:47 You know nothing about my dreams.
00:52:52 Five years ago, you said I wasn't good enough for you.
00:52:56 Do you regret it now?
00:52:58 You want to marry me, but what do you have?
00:53:01 You have nothing.
00:53:03 I regret nothing.
00:53:08 What my son is doing for you, if you really loved him, you would stop dragging him down with you.
00:53:14 Like a selfish bitch.
00:53:23 Hey, you guys want to grab dinner?
00:53:26 I'm busy.
00:53:28 Aaron, let's go.
00:53:30 Okay, boss.
00:53:32 Regret nothing, huh?
00:53:41 I mean, obviously, she's missing out.
00:53:46 I mean, if she wants money, I have money.
00:53:51 Yeah.
00:53:53 Boss.
00:53:55 Ms. Campbell, you still have feelings for her.
00:53:58 Why would I still have feelings for a gold digger?
00:54:02 Yeah?
00:54:03 I just wanted to see that she's missing out.
00:54:05 She would be, okay?
00:54:08 And I don't know if it's my place to say this, but...
00:54:11 I don't think Ms. Campbell is a gold digger.
00:54:14 Yeah.
00:54:16 Or I think maybe...
00:54:18 Maybe you two have a misunderstanding.
00:54:21 I think you should tell her the truth.
00:54:23 I think you should tell her why you're really here.
00:54:27 Maybe I will.
00:54:32 Hey, I got you coffee.
00:54:40 Oh, uh, Mr. Preston flew back to San Francisco.
00:54:49 Did the deal fall through?
00:54:51 Oh, no. The opposite, actually.
00:54:54 He's moving forward with us.
00:54:55 He went back to SF to make the arrangements.
00:54:58 Is he really going to invest in us?
00:55:00 No.
00:55:02 He's going to acquire us.
00:55:05 Oh, I have to send out a company-wide email.
00:55:08 Wait, does that mean that no, Preston is going to be...
00:55:12 Gonna be our new boss.
00:55:15 Great, right?
00:55:17 Amazing.
00:55:19 Boo.
00:55:30 You scared the shit out of me.
00:55:32 What you doing?
00:55:34 Oh my god, are you quitting your job?
00:55:37 I don't know. I'm thinking about it.
00:55:40 Why?
00:55:42 Because Noah Preston acquired Crazy Maple Studios
00:55:46 and will be my new boss.
00:55:48 Holy fuck.
00:55:50 I know.
00:55:51 That's fucking awesome.
00:55:53 No, Sarah, that is not awesome. This is horrible.
00:55:57 My ex-fiancé who hates my guts is going to be my new boss.
00:56:01 He will make my life a living hell.
00:56:03 Not to mention, I really don't want to work under him.
00:56:06 Yeah, um, you know, normally I would agree with you
00:56:09 except for the fact that he totally saved your ass this weekend
00:56:12 and stood up for you.
00:56:15 You know what I think?
00:56:17 I think that this is just his crazy, fucked up way of showing he still cares.
00:56:21 You're delusional.
00:56:23 I may be delusional, but I know I'm right.
00:56:26 Stop hiding, Elena.
00:56:32 You know why you still have that necklace?
00:56:34 Because you're still in love with Noah Preston.
00:56:38 Face it.
00:56:40 Oh my god.
00:56:42 What's wrong?
00:56:44 Joey just sent a company-wide email
00:56:46 saying that Noah Preston is having a party this Saturday
00:56:49 at his mansion to celebrate the merger.
00:56:52 I've been gone for three whole days.
00:57:08 No call. No text.
00:57:12 Boss, everything is ready to go.
00:57:14 Should we head to the airport?
00:57:16 Wait a minute. I'm going to make a phone call real quick.
00:57:19 Hey, Courtney. It's Noah Preston.
00:57:24 I'm flying back to L.A. today
00:57:26 and I was wondering if you still wanted to meet up for that drink.
00:57:29 I am so excited to see Mr. Preston's mansion.
00:57:36 It's tomorrow night and I still don't have a dress.
00:57:40 Let's leave early today to get our nails done
00:57:42 and then we go dress shopping first thing in the morning.
00:57:45 What?
00:57:46 Oh.
00:57:48 Elena, do you have dress?
00:57:53 I don't really care for it.
00:57:55 Honestly, when are you going to get off your high horse?
00:57:58 You like pretend that you don't care about Noah Preston
00:58:02 but everyone can see how you look at him.
00:58:05 How I look at him?
00:58:07 Everyone can see that you're obsessed with Noah Preston.
00:58:10 But trust me, someone like him will never be interested in someone like you.
00:58:16 Come on, Yvonne. Let's go.
00:58:21 This again?
00:58:36 What is that?
00:58:37 See you tonight, your future boss.
00:58:42 Oh my God.
00:58:45 Yeah, he wants to fuck you.
00:58:48 Sarah!
00:58:49 What are you waiting for? Try it on.
00:58:52 I honestly don't think I'm going to this.
00:58:54 What do you mean you're not going?
00:58:56 I'm going.
00:58:58 Of course you're going!
00:58:59 Why are you going?
00:59:00 Erin invited me.
00:59:04 Now come on. We should start getting ready.
00:59:06 It's not even noon yet.
00:59:07 Trust me, we have a lot to do.
00:59:10 [Music]
00:59:35 [Music]
00:59:40 I've never had a man ask me to make another woman jealous before.
00:59:43 Your help is greatly appreciated.
00:59:46 Can't wait to see who the lucky girl is.
00:59:50 [Music]
01:00:09 I'm nervous.
01:00:11 Just talk to him, Elena. What have you got to lose?
01:00:19 Okay.
01:00:20 Hey, I'm going to go find Erin. You got this.
01:00:38 Elena!
01:00:42 Just talking about the merger.
01:00:44 Come on, have a drink. Today is the day to celebrate.
01:00:47 [Music]
01:00:54 Yeah, yeah, seriously.
01:00:56 A toast!
01:01:01 Yay! Now we are all part of the triple A-I family.
01:01:06 Cheers, everybody.
01:01:08 Cheers!
01:01:15 I knew that dress would look good on you.
01:01:17 You have great taste.
01:01:19 Noah, is there somewhere we can go?
01:01:23 There you are!
01:01:24 Babe, I've been looking for you everywhere.
01:01:26 Babe, I was looking for you everywhere.
01:01:32 Oh my gosh, are you Courtney Fox?
01:01:35 You're the host from the CMC show.
01:01:39 Oh, you watch my show.
01:01:40 Your show?
01:01:41 I am like your biggest fan.
01:01:43 It is so nice to meet you. I'm Abigail Clark.
01:01:45 And I'm Yvonne Jones. We love you.
01:01:48 So, Mr. Preston, are you and Miss Fox here, uh, wait, you know.
01:01:55 Please, just call me Noah.
01:01:57 Today, we're one big family.
01:02:00 Me and Courtney, you know, we're...
01:02:04 Keeping things under down low, if you know what I mean.
01:02:07 Yeah, both of us, we just like to keep our life more private.
01:02:11 Especially Noah, since he's so popular these days.
01:02:14 I mean, I don't want to get any hate mail.
01:02:17 Totally understandable.
01:02:19 Totally.
01:02:20 Oh, sorry, I didn't get your name.
01:02:23 Elena Campbell.
01:02:28 Nice to meet you.
01:02:31 Nice to meet you.
01:02:32 So, how did you two meet?
01:02:33 Was it on your show when you interviewed Noah?
01:02:36 Oh, actually, I contacted him when I was on a business trip in England.
01:02:42 I asked to meet up, and he obviously said yes.
01:02:46 And we just started talking from there.
01:02:48 He had so much in common.
01:02:51 What were you thinking?
01:02:55 He should be with somebody like Courtney Fox.
01:03:00 [Music]
01:03:20 Noah?
01:03:21 What are you doing here? There's like 30 people out there.
01:03:26 No one's looking at us.
01:03:28 They're all drinking my very expensive champagne.
01:03:31 You have a girlfriend?
01:03:34 So you are jealous.
01:03:36 You can tell me.
01:03:38 I don't mind having more than one girlfriend.
01:03:41 Besides, it's not like Courtney and I are that serious anyway.
01:03:47 So you're not only a billionaire now, you're also a cheater?
01:03:56 Kind of like how you cheated on me with Peter, huh?
01:03:59 You're right. I'm a horrible person.
01:04:03 But at least I'm still me.
01:04:06 You're nothing like the boy I used to know five years ago.
01:04:10 Why'd you come back, Noah? I was just getting over you.
01:04:14 I was up for revenge.
01:04:17 Because you win, Noah Preston.
01:04:21 I want nothing else to do with you.
01:04:25 [Music]
01:04:34 Elena, wait.
01:04:36 Elena!
01:04:41 Elena, wait.
01:04:43 Let go of me.
01:04:44 Maybe I came back because I'm the one that can't let go.
01:04:48 I'm sorry that I tried to kiss you.
01:04:51 Courtney's not even my girlfriend. I don't even have a girlfriend.
01:04:54 I haven't had a girlfriend in the last five years, not since you.
01:04:57 I just asked her to help me try to make you jealous.
01:05:00 Which I know is so stupid and immature, but I didn't know--
01:05:02 Why?
01:05:03 Because isn't it obvious?
01:05:06 After five goddamn years, I'm still madly in love with you.
01:05:09 You want to marry me, but what do you have?
01:05:13 You have no house, no car.
01:05:16 You have nothing.
01:05:18 Do you remember what you said to me the day that we broke up?
01:05:23 You said that I had nothing.
01:05:25 No house, no cars.
01:05:27 You said real men buy their wives jewelry and handbags.
01:05:31 I couldn't get that out of my head.
01:05:35 Noah, that was five years ago.
01:05:38 Noah, that was five years ago.
01:05:42 Well, somehow I got it in my sick head
01:05:45 that if I got all those things, you'd take me back.
01:05:48 Except you didn't.
01:05:51 I come back, and you act like I don't even exist.
01:05:55 You want nothing to do with me.
01:05:59 Noah--
01:06:01 I know I shouldn't talk to you.
01:06:03 I know I need to stay away from you, but I can't.
01:06:06 You know what's gotten me through the toughest times these last five years?
01:06:10 It's you.
01:06:11 I keep asking myself, what if?
01:06:14 What if I'd given you everything that you'd wanted?
01:06:19 What if we'd met under different circumstances?
01:06:22 What if I'd asked you for a second chance?
01:06:25 Would you?
01:06:28 Elena.
01:06:44 Does this mean that--
01:06:47 Noah, the thing is, just--
01:06:49 Shh, I don't even care.
01:06:52 I don't even care.
01:06:55 Because all that matters is that I have you.
01:06:59 That's all that I want.
01:07:02 Right on time.

01:07:44 Your company name.
01:07:45 Why do you think I named it AAA?
01:07:48 Why?
01:07:50 Because I named it after you, Elena.
01:07:52 Everything I've been doing for the past five years has been for this exact moment.
01:07:57 For us to meet again.

01:08:50 You don't care that I'm a gold digger?
01:08:53 I don't believe you are.
01:08:55 I didn't believe it five years ago and I don't now.
01:08:58 Elena, why did you leave me?
01:09:04 Come on, can you please tell me?
01:09:08 I don't want to ever lose you again.
01:09:10 I keep asking myself the same question.
01:09:14 If I could go back in time and do things differently, would I?
01:09:20 The answer is no.
01:09:23 I wouldn't.
01:09:25 Because...
01:09:27 A year after you left for England, the hospital called saying that they're taking my mom off life support for humanitarian reasons.
01:09:38 So I signed the documents, said my goodbyes and left Maryland never looking back.
01:09:44 Why didn't you tell me?
01:09:47 We lost five whole years together.
01:09:50 Why don't you trust me?
01:09:52 What if my company had failed?
01:09:54 What if I had never come back?
01:09:56 What if we'd never seen each other again?
01:09:59 And why didn't you tell me that you applied to Oxford, Noah?
01:10:04 Because deep down, we're the same person.
01:10:07 We keep secrets to protect the ones we love.
01:10:10 You know, they say if you love something, let it go.
01:10:17 And if it comes back, it's yours.
01:10:21 If it doesn't, it never really was.
01:10:25 Well, I'm never ever letting you go ever again.
01:10:31 [Music]
01:10:49 Good morning.
01:10:51 Good morning, beautiful.
01:10:53 Breakfast is served.
01:10:56 Where did you learn how to cook?
01:10:59 You didn't even know how to boil an egg before.
01:11:01 I learned when I was in England.
01:11:03 You'd be shocked at how bad the food is over there.
01:11:07 Mmm, this is delicious.
01:11:10 So what is this rumor I hear about you having a girlfriend over there?
01:11:15 So what is this rumor I hear about you having a girlfriend over there?
01:11:21 Are you jealous?
01:11:23 So what if I am?
01:11:28 Wait, you don't actually have a girlfriend over there, do you?
01:11:30 No.
01:11:32 Okay, well, I did go on one date with one of my classmates, alright?
01:11:36 It was just one date.
01:11:38 And then she ran around school telling everyone that she was my girlfriend after one date.
01:11:42 One date, huh?
01:11:44 Yeah, just one date.
01:11:46 What? Don't act like you didn't kiss Peter right in front of me.
01:11:49 It was a peck. Besides, Peter is gay.
01:11:51 Really?
01:11:53 You couldn't tell? His favorite color is pink.
01:11:57 Oh my god, Elena.
01:11:58 Hey, I need to show you something real quick.
01:12:03 Okay.
01:12:05 What is all this?
01:12:20 It's everything that I own.
01:12:22 I have a villa in England,
01:12:25 a penthouse in San Francisco,
01:12:27 a lake house north of Potomac,
01:12:29 this beautiful home here in LA.
01:12:31 I have four cars,
01:12:33 and my company.
01:12:36 Oh.
01:12:38 And also, the handbags and jewelry that you handpicked last weekend.
01:12:42 Why are you showing me all this?
01:12:45 Because you can have it all.
01:12:48 All you need to do is marry me.
01:12:53 This $20 million home.
01:12:55 Yours.
01:12:57 You have a Ferrari.
01:12:59 Also yours.
01:13:01 Your company.
01:13:04 Elena, it's all yours.
01:13:08 But you, Elena,
01:13:11 you're mine.
01:13:14 You're mine.
01:13:15 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:13:25 today marks the day that we officially join the triple AI family.
01:13:30 I truly believe that together we are going to do great things.
01:13:34 Mr. Preston, did you have anything you wanted to say?
01:13:37 I just want to thank everyone for their hard work in making this all happen.
01:13:42 Oh, and today will be Elena's last day.
01:13:45 Let's give her a round of applause for all the hard work she's done.
01:13:48 Did you get fired or something?
01:13:53 No, I just don't want to become an HR nightmare.
01:13:56 What do you mean?
01:13:58 Today's her last day because Elena and I
01:14:01 are getting married.
01:14:03 Joey, I want to thank you.
01:14:06 Because of Crazy Maple Studio, I was able to find her again.
01:14:10 That is just so, uh, that is touching.
01:14:12 Um, Elena, you're going to be missed.
01:14:15 And by the way, I totally did call this.
01:14:18 I knew there was something fishy going on between you two.
01:14:20 Let's go get married.
01:14:24 Goodbye, everybody.
01:14:27 [laughter]
01:14:28 Hey.
01:14:42 I'm so excited to finally call you my wife.
01:14:45 I love you, Mr. Preston.
01:14:48 I love you, Mrs. Preston.
01:14:55 Hey.
01:14:56 Smile for the camera.
01:15:00 What are you doing?
01:15:07 I'm posting it on Times Square for 24 hours.
01:15:10 Wait, what?
01:15:12 I want the whole world to know that you're my wife.
01:15:15 I'm not letting you get away from me this time.
01:15:19 [music]
01:15:20 There it is, Monica.
01:15:26 Oh my gosh, you have to check it out.
01:15:28 It's right next to it.
01:15:30 Mother, what are you doing here?
01:15:35 I can't believe my only son got married
01:15:38 and I wasn't invited.
01:15:40 You flew all the way here from Maryland just to tell me that?
01:15:44 Noah, would you give me a minute alone with Elena?
01:15:48 No, I'm not letting that happen again.
01:15:50 Oh, come on.
01:15:52 Noah, I just want to talk.
01:15:54 You don't have to get so stressed.
01:15:56 Last time that happened, I lost five years with Elena.
01:15:59 So no, I'm not letting it happen again.
01:16:01 And if you even think about telling us to break up,
01:16:04 then you can say goodbye to your only son.
01:16:06 You're just like your father, Noah.
01:16:09 Stubborn and devoted.
01:16:13 [music]
01:16:14 Isn't that the ring that Noah proposed with five years ago?
01:16:28 Mom, I thought you said you threw this away.
01:16:34 I always had a feeling this day was coming, so I kept it.
01:16:40 I'm sorry, Elena, for the things that I said that day five years ago.
01:16:43 But I don't regret it.
01:16:45 I knew that when you would be a mother, you would understand.
01:16:50 No, you were right, Miss Preston.
01:16:52 Love requires sacrifice.
01:16:55 Noah was about to give up on his dreams for me.
01:16:58 And if I didn't let him go back then,
01:17:01 he'd never become the great man that he is today.
01:17:05 Thank you.
01:17:08 And thank you for making my son happy again.
01:17:11 [music]
01:17:13 It still fits.
01:17:23 It's because it was always meant to be.
