00:00:00Hi. I'm looking for my fiancé. His name is Ken Snyder. What room is he in?
00:00:29I'm sorry, miss. I can't provide the information of our guests, even if he is your fiancé.
00:00:35Listen, I know for a fact that he's upstairs screwing another woman.
00:00:40I'm going to tell you something else. That woman is probably my half-sister.
00:00:44I'm supposed to get married to him next week, and we haven't even had sex because he said that he's saving himself for marriage.
00:00:50Now, I need concrete evidence that this asshole is cheating on me, so what do you say?
00:00:55Can you help a sister out?
00:00:58You didn't get this from me.
00:01:00Of course not.
00:01:06Oh, man. I wish I could go with her.
00:01:10Oh, baby. I'm coming. Okay.
00:01:20Oh, my God, baby. That was so good.
00:01:23Gosh, but it just makes me even more pissed knowing that you're getting married to Serena next week.
00:01:28I really can't stand the thought of you having sex with her.
00:01:31How are you going to get out of fucking her now?
00:01:33I know, sweetheart, but I'm doing this for us.
00:01:36Serena's mother stated in her will that she has to be married by 28 to take over the company.
00:01:41She's turning 28 in a week.
00:01:43This is just temporary.
00:01:45Once I take her company, I'll divorce her.
00:01:48Then you and I can be together.
00:01:50You promise?
00:01:51I promise you.
00:01:53I won't touch her.
00:01:55I'll just tell her I can't get it up with some girl.
00:01:59You two are disgusting.
00:02:01Here, take a shower.
00:02:03What the fuck, Serena? What the hell are you doing here?
00:02:06You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiancé?
00:02:09Really, Carol?
00:02:10You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiancé?
00:02:13And Ken, my sister.
00:02:15Get off your high horse, Serena.
00:02:17Your father arranged our engagement so you could get married.
00:02:19I don't care.
00:02:20I don't care.
00:02:21I don't care.
00:02:22I don't care.
00:02:23I don't care.
00:02:24I don't care.
00:02:25I don't care.
00:02:26Your father arranged our engagement so you can keep your mother's company.
00:02:29It's not like we're in love.
00:02:31That may be true, but I did trust you.
00:02:33I'm not marrying a cheater.
00:02:35The engagement is off.
00:02:37Good luck finding a husband in less than a week.
00:02:39You can say goodbye to your company.
00:02:42What the fuck, Serena?
00:02:44I'm never letting go of my mother's company.
00:02:47Ever.
00:02:48Test me again, and you'll see what I'm capable of.
00:02:52That bitch.
00:02:58Lynn, can you meet me at the Ross Hotel bar?
00:03:01Now.
00:03:04And then he has the audacity to tell me I'm a boner, too.
00:03:08Okay, Serena, I get it.
00:03:10You got cheated on.
00:03:11But honestly, drinking is not going to help.
00:03:14Something else will.
00:03:17What are you talking about, Lynn?
00:03:19What are you talking about, Lynn?
00:03:21I got you a surprise.
00:03:23It's waiting for you in room 1011.
00:03:25Or should I say, he is...
00:03:29Did you get me an escort?
00:03:38Did you get me an escort?
00:03:41Lynn, I don't need an escort.
00:03:44What I need right now is to find a way that I'm going to get married in a week
00:03:47so I can take over my mother's company.
00:03:49Come on, Serena, you're too stressed.
00:03:51You need to let loose, have some fun first.
00:03:55I think our ideas of fun don't align.
00:03:59Just go, have some fun with him, and relax in 1011.
00:04:02Trust me.
00:04:03Go on, go.
00:04:09This is crazy.
00:04:10Knock when you get there.
00:04:11He'll be waiting for you.
00:04:13Check out his at 11am.
00:04:15Enjoy.
00:04:19This is fucking crazy.
00:04:36It's you.
00:04:39What's your name again?
00:04:43It's you.
00:04:44Wow, where did Lynn find you?
00:04:54How did you find me?
00:04:56I didn't find you.
00:04:57Lynn did.
00:04:59Lynn went to you.
00:05:02Hello?
00:05:03You there yet?
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:05And he is super hot.
00:05:08Thank you, bestie.
00:05:10Have fun.
00:05:13How did you even...
00:05:14Shh.
00:05:15Just...
00:05:16No talking.
00:05:18Let's just enjoy each other's company tonight.
00:05:22Hello?
00:05:23What do you mean no show?
00:05:25She said she was there already.
00:05:26Well, I've been here for 30 minutes and no one is here.
00:05:28I'm leaving.
00:05:29I'm charging you a $500 cancellation fee.
00:05:31Goodbye.
00:05:33Hello?
00:05:34She's not there, then where the hell is she?
00:05:37I don't know.
00:05:39I'll call her.
00:05:40I'll call her.
00:05:41I'll call her.
00:05:42I'll call her.
00:05:43I'll call her.
00:05:44I'll call her.
00:05:45I'll call her.
00:05:46I'll call her.
00:05:47I'll call her.
00:05:48I'll call her.
00:05:49I'll call her.
00:05:50Where the hell is she?
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:52One second.
00:06:20God, what happened last night?
00:06:51I have to get out of here.
00:06:56Leaving without telling me your name again?
00:07:00Again?
00:07:01Again?
00:07:02Um, I've never actually done this before.
00:07:08I know it's been five years, but does she really not remember me?
00:07:12Fifty o'clock is pretty good.
00:07:14Alright, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
00:07:19Your phone, too.
00:07:23Your jacket.
00:07:25That's real nice.
00:07:26I want that, too.
00:07:27Really?
00:07:32Wow, wow, wow.
00:07:39I'm sorry.
00:07:40Oh, ouch.
00:07:42You got jumped, huh?
00:07:44Yeah.
00:07:45Was it because you were wearing expensive clothes?
00:07:50No, I can't.
00:07:51Just take it.
00:07:52My friend's around the corner.
00:07:58Oh, and next time you're in the neighborhood, don't wear nice stuff.
00:08:02You're gonna get targeted.
00:08:04Hey, what's your name again?
00:08:13Thank you for a lovely night, and I should be going.
00:08:19Wow, it really is you.
00:08:22Smile for the camera, sis.
00:08:26Smile for the camera, sis.
00:08:29I heard you were drinking yourself to death at the bar downstairs.
00:08:33Looks like you had some fun.
00:08:35I can already see the headlines now.
00:08:38Cheats on her fiancé with a cowboy?
00:08:42Who are you to talk about cheating?
00:08:43I just caught you in bed with my fiancé.
00:08:45Yeah, well, nobody knows about that, do they?
00:08:48Just wait until I upload these photos.
00:08:50You will never be named CEO.
00:08:56What the fuck are you doing?
00:08:58Are you an idiot?
00:08:59I've already uploaded all these to iCloud.
00:09:02Hmm, what a coincidence.
00:09:05So have I.
00:09:08You sneaky bitch!
00:09:10At least I have clothes on.
00:09:12What do you think is gonna be worse?
00:09:13Your nudes with Ken?
00:09:15Or me just in a room with a man?
00:09:18I'm telling father about this.
00:09:20This is not the last of me.
00:09:28I'm sorry you had to see that.
00:09:30But nice move, not gonna lie.
00:09:32You handled it well.
00:09:34Is it true you have a fiancé?
00:09:36Ex-fiancé, Ken Snyder.
00:09:40The heir of Snyder Electronics?
00:09:42That's the one.
00:09:44I'm taking over my mother's company in three days,
00:09:46and that's all he really cares about.
00:09:47Well, that Snyder guy would be a fool
00:09:49to care more about a company than you.
00:09:52Well, anyway, thank you for helping me out.
00:09:57My name is Serena Monroe. What's yours?
00:09:59Jesse. Jesse Ross.
00:10:04As in, CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:10:12Jesse Ross.
00:10:13As in, CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:10:23Hey, Mom.
00:10:27How are you?
00:10:30Better now that you're here.
00:10:35Thank you.
00:10:39The Rosses just won't give up, will they?
00:10:42I told them a million times to leave us alone.
00:10:45You're sick for God's sake.
00:10:47They don't care, sweetie.
00:10:49All the Rosses see is a great opportunity
00:10:52to acquire a blooming company from a dying woman.
00:10:56Don't say that, Mom.
00:10:58Don't worry, Serena.
00:11:00I'm leaving the company to you,
00:11:02even if it's the last thing that I do.
00:11:05It's too hard to do alone.
00:11:08Promise me that you'll find someone kind,
00:11:11someone you trust.
00:11:14Marry him and take over the company when you turn 28.
00:11:19And keep our legacy.
00:11:22No, just don't leave me, Mom.
00:11:24Please, Serena.
00:11:26I promise.
00:11:42Jesse Ross.
00:11:45Stay the fuck away from me.
00:11:47I'm sorry, did I say something?
00:11:49My mother was Pauline Monroe.
00:11:51Seven years ago, your family tried to get her
00:11:53to sell her company while she was dying from cancer.
00:11:55Okay, hold on a second.
00:11:57What are you talking about?
00:11:59My mother's company was her life's work.
00:12:01And you tried to steal it from her.
00:12:03And that killed her.
00:12:09Serena, wait.
00:12:11What?
00:12:12And don't say you're sorry.
00:12:13That's not going to bring her back.
00:12:16I'm not Jesse Ross.
00:12:22What do you mean you're not Jesse Ross?
00:12:24I mean, I'm not that Jesse Ross.
00:12:26I mean, it's a pretty common name, no?
00:12:28How can I forget?
00:12:30He's an escort.
00:12:31How could he be that Jesse Ross?
00:12:33Right, totally.
00:12:36That name is just really triggering for me.
00:12:40Besides, this is the Ross Hotel.
00:12:42If you were the real Jesse Ross,
00:12:44somebody would have recognized you.
00:12:48Oh, good morning, Mr. Ross.
00:12:55How did she know who you are?
00:12:59I work at this hotel quite often.
00:13:02I mean, I work at many different hotels.
00:13:04Of course, of course.
00:13:06Due to your profession.
00:13:08I'm sure you have to do this a lot.
00:13:10Anyway, speaking of that,
00:13:13excuse me?
00:13:14Oh, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
00:13:18Two grand should be enough, right?
00:13:20And keep the change.
00:13:27Bye.
00:13:30Hold on, does she think I'm an escort?
00:13:41Have a good rest of your day.
00:13:45Do you want me to call you an Uber or something?
00:13:48No, that's all right.
00:13:49I'll take the subway.
00:13:51Subway?
00:13:52Isn't he the owner of this hotel?
00:13:54Well, thanks for the great night.
00:13:58You're welcome.
00:13:59Bye.
00:14:01Morning, boss.
00:14:19Got some news for you.
00:14:22The franchise mall is delayed in construction again.
00:14:25Same problem?
00:14:26The taco stand lady refuses to leave.
00:14:29We'll have to force them to remove her
00:14:30if we want to continue construction.
00:14:36All right, let's go.
00:14:46Hey, so I'm gonna need this whole truck removed.
00:14:49You listen to me, you copper asshole.
00:14:52I'm not going nowhere, okay?
00:14:54I've been here for over ten years.
00:14:56And if you want me to go,
00:14:58it's gonna be over my dead body, okay?
00:15:01How much would it cost to buy out the entire business?
00:15:04What?
00:15:05I mean, everybody has a price, right?
00:15:07You asshole!
00:15:08You think everything can be bought with money?
00:15:11Mire que estúpida idiota.
00:15:13Yo no creo que el quiere que yo venga.
00:15:15What is it with you?
00:15:16To be with somebody all night is foul.
00:15:18It's absolutely foul.
00:15:19I don't know where she found this person.
00:15:21Shameless bitch.
00:15:23Carol told us that you were out the whole night
00:15:26at a hotel with another man.
00:15:28You have tarnished our family's name!
00:15:33Monroe is my family name.
00:15:36You're just a homewrecker turned stepmom
00:15:38living in the house that my mom bought
00:15:40with the money that my mom earned.
00:15:43So I suggest you shut your mouth
00:15:46or I swear I'll do it for you.
00:15:49Look at your daughter.
00:15:54How dare you talk to us like that?
00:15:56You're the one out there with every man
00:15:58you could scoop up on the street.
00:16:00Go back to Ken.
00:16:01Apologize and beg his forgiveness.
00:16:04Yeah.
00:16:05I'll do that, Dad.
00:16:07When pigs fly.
00:16:09Are you crazy, Serena?
00:16:11You cannot take over this company
00:16:13until you are married.
00:16:14How do you expect to find a husband
00:16:16in the middle of the night?
00:16:18I don't know.
00:16:19I don't know.
00:16:21Until you are married.
00:16:22How do you expect to find a husband
00:16:24in the next few days?
00:16:25Oh, don't you worry.
00:16:27I will.
00:16:28It just won't be the guy that cheated on me
00:16:32with my own sister.
00:16:34What?
00:16:40You're a homewrecker.
00:16:41Like mother, like daughter.
00:16:43Huh?
00:16:44You sneaky bitch.
00:16:46I was just keeping Ken company.
00:16:48You were the one who was out
00:16:49with a call boy all night.
00:16:51At least he was nice and honest.
00:16:54You guys?
00:16:56You guys are just a bunch of money-hungry vultures
00:16:58feasting off of what my mom left behind.
00:17:05That's your daughter.
00:17:07She should be locked up.
00:17:09You're both right.
00:17:15I won't let them take your company, Mom.
00:17:18I promise.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:26Where are you, Serena?
00:17:28I don't want to talk about last night.
00:17:30We will talk about it, Serena,
00:17:32but I'm actually calling as your assistant now.
00:17:34You should be meeting the chief designer
00:17:35of construction at Future Mall
00:17:37for the construction site right now.
00:17:40Oh, shit.
00:17:41I completely forgot.
00:17:42Okay.
00:17:43Um, I'm on my way.
00:17:45Nice.
00:17:48Esta troza is all yours, sir.
00:17:55God bless you.
00:18:00Hey, can you move this truck?
00:18:07Thank you.
00:18:08Here's a drink.
00:18:13Hi, um, do you guys have water here?
00:18:17It's you.
00:18:18Oh, uh, I didn't take you
00:18:20as a taco stand kind of guy.
00:18:23You're going to kill yourself doing all these jobs.
00:18:25Yeah, usually I can handle this type of stuff,
00:18:28but I'm especially tired after last night.
00:18:32No, not today.
00:18:35I'm not doing that.
00:18:36Anyways, what can I help you with, Miss Monroe?
00:18:40Hmm, you can call me Serena.
00:18:42I was actually supposed to meet someone here,
00:18:44but it looks like I am late,
00:18:46so I think they already left.
00:18:48Somebody that keeps you waiting?
00:18:50Hmm, I think you're worth the wait.
00:18:53Hold on a second.
00:18:54You might actually be the perfect guy.
00:18:56Hey, Jesse, are you married?
00:18:59No.
00:19:00Girlfriend?
00:19:01No.
00:19:02Situationship with different women?
00:19:04Of course not.
00:19:06Hmm, okay, perfect.
00:19:09Let's go.
00:19:11Where are we going?
00:19:13City Hall.
00:19:14We're going to get married.
00:19:21Well, it's official.
00:19:23We're married.
00:19:25Kind of weird now that I say it out loud.
00:19:27I don't know.
00:19:28I think it sounds just right to me.
00:19:33Well, now the marriage part is over,
00:19:35let's talk business.
00:19:36I'm going to deposit 10K on this card every month,
00:19:39and that is your salary for playing my husband.
00:19:43You know I'll marry you for free?
00:19:46Come on, Jesse.
00:19:47You barely know me.
00:19:49I know you well enough to know that I like you.
00:19:55Just take it, Jesse.
00:19:58I can't have you working in the hotels.
00:20:01Do you know what I mean?
00:20:02Listen, I...
00:20:07All right, you're right.
00:20:10A gentleman never argues with a lady.
00:20:13Great.
00:20:15Oh, I have to go, but keep your phone on you,
00:20:18and I look forward to working with you, Jesse Ross.
00:20:22You as well, Serena Monroe.
00:20:28We need to stop talking about her for once.
00:20:30I'm just a little bit over it.
00:20:32Oh, my.
00:20:36What are you doing here?
00:20:38You should be on your knees at Ken's house
00:20:41begging him to take you back.
00:20:43Ken probably kicked her out.
00:20:44That's why she's groveling back to us.
00:20:46Funny, coming from the woman
00:20:47who had her hands down his pants this morning.
00:20:49How dare you insult my baby girl,
00:20:52you wretched child.
00:20:54Well, I wouldn't have to if your baby girl
00:20:57wasn't such a liar and a man-stealer.
00:20:59You're just jealous that Ken chose me.
00:21:02And now without a husband,
00:21:03you're freaking out about the CEO title.
00:21:05I'm glad you mentioned it,
00:21:07because I have something to show you guys.
00:21:13Is...
00:21:15Is that...
00:21:17a marriage certificate?
00:21:19You're married?
00:21:23You're married?
00:21:24Who the hell is this guy?
00:21:27That is none of your business.
00:21:31Wait a minute.
00:21:32Jesse Ross?
00:21:34Wait, isn't he the billionaire?
00:21:36Oh, snap out of your daydream.
00:21:38It's not that, Jesse Ross.
00:21:40As if a billionaire CEO would be interested in you.
00:21:44Let me guess.
00:21:46Is it the call boy from the hotel the other night?
00:21:50Homeless.
00:21:52So what if it is?
00:21:57It's my marriage. Why do you care?
00:21:59Are you insane?
00:22:01You are the CEO-to-be of Monroe Construction.
00:22:04What can this loser do for our company?
00:22:07Huh? He's got no connections.
00:22:08He's got no money. He's got nothing.
00:22:10Work is work. Marriage is marriage.
00:22:13If all you're concerned about is money,
00:22:15I'll get you the money.
00:22:16Listen to yourself.
00:22:17What do you think? Money grows on trees?
00:22:20You file for divorce right now
00:22:23or you never set foot in this house again.
00:22:26Works for me.
00:22:27I don't want to see your faces anyway.
00:22:29I was just here to show you the certificate.
00:22:32Serena!
00:22:36Everything just went so unexpected, Serena.
00:22:39You've been sitting like this all morning, boss.
00:22:42Has something happened?
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:45This happened.
00:22:47Oh, my.
00:22:48I got married last night to that girl.
00:22:51Wait, the girl that got you the wool coat?
00:22:53That's amazing, boss.
00:22:55What did you say whenever you told her
00:22:56you'd been looking for her for the last five years?
00:22:59I didn't tell her.
00:23:01What? Why?
00:23:03She's not just a random girl.
00:23:06She's Serena Monroe.
00:23:08The heiress of Monroe Construction
00:23:10and daughter of...
00:23:11Pauline Monroe.
00:23:12And she thinks that my family killed her mother.
00:23:15And to be honest with you, I don't blame her.
00:23:17But it was your uncle who insisted on going after her mother.
00:23:20You were only 23. You weren't even CEO yet.
00:23:23I know, Cooper, but I'm still a Ross.
00:23:25It doesn't change anything.
00:23:26That's why I don't want her to know who I am.
00:23:28Just not right now.
00:23:29Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:23:30I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:23:36Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:23:37I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:23:39She's been on my mind all these years.
00:23:42I like her.
00:23:43I want to have a chance to get to know her better
00:23:45and to be around her, but I can't do that
00:23:48if she knows who I am.
00:23:49Before she sees me as the Jesse Ross,
00:23:52I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:24:01Morning, Serena.
00:24:03Hey, where are you?
00:24:04Uh, I am at the construction site selling tacos.
00:24:09Again?
00:24:10Yeah, I need to pay the rent.
00:24:12Well, I'm your new boss now.
00:24:15I sent you an address. Can you come now?
00:24:17Yes, of course. I will be there soon, boss.
00:24:21Heh.
00:24:23I gotta get going.
00:24:25And what about your meeting in 30 minutes?
00:24:27Push it back.
00:24:28My only priority right now is Serena Monroe.
00:24:34This is not gonna end well.
00:24:41Tom?
00:24:43Looking amazing as ever.
00:24:45Thank you, Ms. Monroe.
00:24:47So nice to see you.
00:24:50Your dress is ready. I'll be right back.
00:24:52Oh, actually, it's my husband who is coming in today.
00:24:55Who?
00:24:56He needs some decent clothes, some shoes,
00:24:58and definitely a new watch.
00:25:00That's great.
00:25:01Although I'm not sure I can handle all of that today.
00:25:04Um, but...
00:25:05Oh.
00:25:06Oh, sorry. I'm late.
00:25:08Miss Monroe, why didn't you tell me
00:25:10that your husband was, um...
00:25:15so handsome?
00:25:18Very nice to meet you. Jesse Ross.
00:25:20Wow, I have never been to a store like this.
00:25:23I mean, it must be so expensive.
00:25:26Baby, we don't have to do this if you don't wanna...
00:25:29Oh, don't worry about it. I want to.
00:25:32Thank you.
00:25:34So, can you get his measurements?
00:25:36There's no need.
00:25:41I'm sorry. What I mean is that, you know,
00:25:44I've been doing this for so many years.
00:25:46I can just take one look at him
00:25:48and know exactly what he needs.
00:25:50See? This is why we come here,
00:25:52because Tom is the expert of all experts.
00:25:55Right. Okay.
00:25:57Oh, well, then, uh, Mr. Ross,
00:25:59why don't you, uh, come in the back,
00:26:01and I will show you some suits.
00:26:03Great.
00:26:05I will be waiting outside the sitting room.
00:26:07Come here.
00:26:12What is going on?
00:26:14Thank you for covering for me.
00:26:16Look, you have an entire rack of suits here
00:26:18that have been custom-tailored for you.
00:26:20Pick three, and we'll try them on.
00:26:23Oh, okay.
00:26:25Whatever you say.
00:26:29Okay.
00:26:38Hmm.
00:26:40Actually, not bad.
00:26:42Hmm.
00:26:49I like this one, too.
00:26:55What is this magic?
00:26:57Everything fits you like a glove.
00:26:59Trade secret.
00:27:01I like this one, too.
00:27:03I like this one, too.
00:27:05Hmm.
00:27:14Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:27:16Excuse me. Sorry.
00:27:18Oh, that's okay.
00:27:20I think that we will take
00:27:23all three of them.
00:27:25Oh, yes. Um...
00:27:27Uh, actually,
00:27:29today is our annual sale.
00:27:3150% off everything that you've purchased today.
00:27:34Half off?
00:27:36Tom, you never have sales.
00:27:39Why don't I just go wrap this up for you?
00:27:43Okay.
00:27:45I promise that when I make enough money,
00:27:48I will pay you back.
00:27:50You don't have to pay me back.
00:27:52You're my husband.
00:27:54At least not with money.
00:28:05You know, no one's ever given me
00:28:07that nice of gift support.
00:28:09Thank you, Serena.
00:28:11Of course. You're my husband now.
00:28:13I want to take care of you.
00:28:15Plus, it's not every day that you see a guy
00:28:17look this good in a suit.
00:28:21Actually, I got you something.
00:28:24Oh, wait. Hold on. Hold on.
00:28:26You first.
00:28:28I know I rushed you into this whole marriage,
00:28:31I know I rushed you into this whole marriage thing,
00:28:34so I thought the least I could do
00:28:36is get you a ring.
00:28:49You know, you didn't rush me into anything.
00:28:52I actually, I need to tell you...
00:28:55If it isn't Serena Monroe.
00:29:01So, you must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:29:05I mean, chose.
00:29:09You must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:29:11Oh, you must be Ken Snyder,
00:29:13the cheating ex-fiancé she dumped.
00:29:16Anything, I dumped her first.
00:29:18Well, then I have a big thank you to tell you,
00:29:20because she's mine now.
00:29:24You must be paying him a lot, Serena.
00:29:26He's extremely committed to the character.
00:29:29Yeah, I'm really committed.
00:29:31And if you'll excuse us, I'm going to take my wife home.
00:29:42You don't even have your own car?
00:29:44You have to drive Serena's.
00:29:47What kind of loser are you?
00:29:49Loser?
00:29:53I've been called worse by better people.
00:30:00Fuck prick.
00:30:13Thank you.
00:30:14You're welcome.
00:30:15Wow, I can't wait to see what this place looks like.
00:30:19Wait.
00:30:20Something feels off.
00:30:24Well, this is me.
00:30:26Drive home safe.
00:30:29Where do you live?
00:30:30Aren't you going to invite me in for some coffee or something?
00:30:33Fuck, I just pulled over to some random neighborhood.
00:30:36I don't actually live here.
00:30:38I don't even know where I live.
00:30:40I don't even know who I am.
00:30:42I don't even know who I am.
00:30:44I don't even know who I am.
00:30:46I just pulled over to some random neighborhood.
00:30:48I don't actually live here.
00:30:50Where do you live?
00:30:52Which house is yours?
00:30:53Can I have a tour?
00:30:56Yeah.
00:30:57This one.
00:30:58Yeah.
00:30:59Right here.
00:31:00But maybe next time.
00:31:02See, the thing is that I'm renting.
00:31:04I got a lot of roommates.
00:31:05Six guys and me.
00:31:06It gets messy and dirty.
00:31:08Wait, you're telling me seven people live in this house?
00:31:11Cramped up?
00:31:12Is that even legal?
00:31:13You know, the housing market's like
00:31:15expensive nowadays, so.
00:31:17Anyways.
00:31:18Drive home safe.
00:31:21Okay.
00:31:22Is he hiding another woman in that house?
00:31:28No, really.
00:31:29You can go.
00:31:30I will.
00:31:31As soon as you get inside.
00:31:34Okay.
00:31:35Bye.
00:31:36Do this to yourself.
00:31:37Just do it.
00:31:41I forgot my keys.
00:31:44What?
00:31:46Six other people live there.
00:31:47Just knock.
00:31:48I'm sure someone's home.
00:31:54Fuck it.
00:31:56I'm going.
00:31:57I'm going.
00:31:58I'm going.
00:31:59I'm going.
00:32:00I'm going.
00:32:01I'm going.
00:32:02I'm going.
00:32:03I'm going.
00:32:04I'm going.
00:32:21Who are you?
00:32:22I'm not buying anything.
00:32:23Go away.
00:32:24Hey, friend.
00:32:25I forgot my keys.
00:32:27If you could just let me inside so we can...
00:32:31Can you just let me inside?
00:32:32I'll pay you whatever you want.
00:32:34Go away.
00:32:35Hey, what's wrong with you?
00:32:37Go away.
00:32:39Who are you?
00:32:40I don't know you.
00:32:42Are you crazy?
00:32:43Get out.
00:32:44Get out.
00:32:49Excuse me.
00:32:52What the fuck is going on?
00:33:04What was that for?
00:33:06Do I need a reason to kiss my wife?
00:33:10What's wrong with your roommate?
00:33:11He said that he is very busy with a girl right now.
00:33:15If you know what I mean.
00:33:16And he asked me to come back later.
00:33:18Wait.
00:33:19You know Chinese?
00:33:20A little.
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:22I'm not fluent, though.
00:33:23That's kind of cool.
00:33:25But you live here.
00:33:26He can't just treat you like that.
00:33:28Oh, no, no, no.
00:33:29I'm actually going...
00:33:30I'm going to go to a friend's house,
00:33:31hang out for a little bit,
00:33:32and I'll come back later.
00:33:33There's no worries at all.
00:33:34No.
00:33:36Let's go.
00:33:37To where?
00:33:38You're my husband.
00:33:39I can't let you just live like this.
00:33:41I'm going to buy you a house.
00:33:44Are you serious?
00:33:45Of course.
00:33:46Let's go.
00:33:52I do not like the Rosses,
00:33:54but I do have to admit
00:33:56they have some of the best real estate in the city.
00:33:58This is their new developmental project,
00:34:01and I love it.
00:34:04But $2 million is a big purchase.
00:34:07Purchase?
00:34:08I'll give you this whole neighborhood if you want it.
00:34:11All right, Ms. Monroe.
00:34:13Welcome to the one and only Lawrence Station home.
00:34:16I heard you're interested in purchasing property?
00:34:20Boss?
00:34:23Even this young man thinks you're the boss of the relationship.
00:34:27My wife would like to have a tour of your model home.
00:34:31Certainly.
00:34:33If you'd kindly step into the living room.
00:34:36Ladies first.
00:34:41You don't remember, boss?
00:34:43You told me to come to the new model home
00:34:45and make sure everything was running smoothly.
00:34:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:34:51Just don't blow my cover.
00:34:54Your secret is safe with me, boss.
00:34:56Always.
00:34:58Funny thing, though.
00:35:00I have another Ms. Monroe on my schedule.
00:35:10Serena?
00:35:12There are 8.5 million people in L.A.
00:35:14How come I keep running into you two cheaters?
00:35:16I'll go wherever I want.
00:35:18What do you think? You own the city?
00:35:20Oh, my God.
00:35:22Did you pay for your own wedding ring yourself?
00:35:25That's the saddest thing I've ever seen, sis.
00:35:27Oh, really?
00:35:28Because I think I'm looking at the saddest thing I've ever seen.
00:35:31Take that back, you bitch.
00:35:34Hey, watch it.
00:35:35You lay one hand on her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:35:38Take it easy.
00:35:39Take your claws off me, callboy.
00:35:42What? You think you're all high and mighty?
00:35:46Why don't you scram and go back to where you came from?
00:35:49Callboy?
00:35:50Anyway, if you two are interested in this unit, you could forget it.
00:35:54Because we're getting it, right, Ken?
00:35:56Anything my baby wants.
00:36:01If you two are interested in this unit, you could forget it.
00:36:04Because we're getting it, right, Ken?
00:36:06Anything my baby wants.
00:36:08Cash. Down payment.
00:36:10Now go get us that contract.
00:36:11Mr. Schneider, I know that there's nothing you can do about your face.
00:36:15What did you just say?
00:36:16But have your parents ever taught you to get in line and wait your turn on the playground?
00:36:21Those rules might apply to your peasant world.
00:36:23Picking up hot dogs.
00:36:25But in this world, my friend, money is the only express pass.
00:36:30Now what are you waiting for?
00:36:32Go fetch my contract.
00:36:34Actually, Mrs. Monroe has already reserved the unit.
00:36:38What? When?
00:36:45Mrs. Monroe has already reserved the unit.
00:36:48What? When?
00:36:50That's impossible. I made that down payment first.
00:36:53Yeah, well, Mrs. Monroe is the CEO of Monroe Construction.
00:36:57And as one of our VIP clients, she can reserve any unit at any time without a down payment.
00:37:04But I wouldn't expect you to know that.
00:37:06Are you insane?
00:37:08Do you know who you're talking to?
00:37:10This is Ken Schneider.
00:37:12Schneider? Oh, I'm afraid I've never heard that name before.
00:37:17Well, if you guys will excuse us, me and Serena have some paperwork we should be signing.
00:37:24Fine. We don't want your fucking model home anyway.
00:37:28Oh, hey Ken, no cussing. My house, my rules.
00:37:33Let's go, Ken.
00:37:39Looks like the express pass didn't work this time.
00:37:46What? Did I say something wrong?
00:37:50Did I say something wrong?
00:37:52That was fucking amazing!
00:37:55Hey, watch your language.
00:37:58I'm too excited. Thank you, but since when did I become a VIP?
00:38:04From the moment you walked in.
00:38:06Well, if you put it that way, I think I need to buy it.
00:38:10Ah, and we're having a half-off sale because it's a model home.
00:38:14You get to keep the furniture, too.
00:38:17Am I dreaming? I have to be dreaming, Jesse. Pinch me.
00:38:21I think this is real, Serena.
00:38:24I'll go fetch the papers.
00:38:27This is amazing.
00:38:33Welcome to your new home, Jesse.
00:38:36How about we call it...
00:38:40...our home.
00:38:44What?
00:38:45What do you mean?
00:38:47I just got this model home for you because I need you to move in ASAP.
00:38:51Look, it's already furnished and everything.
00:38:53I know, it's so spacious, but I want to live here with you.
00:38:58Build a home. Just us.
00:39:02You really want to do that with me?
00:39:04Why do you keep doubting that I want to be with you?
00:39:07I don't know.
00:39:09You really want to do that with me?
00:39:11Why do you keep doubting that I want to be with you?
00:39:15I guess I just haven't felt wanted lately.
00:39:19Well, Serena Monroe, I want you more than anything.
00:39:29This is a pretty big house. Lots of empty rooms.
00:39:33Alright, just so we're clear, I get the master bedroom.
00:39:38Anything you want, sweetheart.
00:39:40Yes, don't touch.
00:39:42Okay. Bye bye.
00:39:47It's been such a long day.
00:39:49Are you hungry?
00:39:50I'm starving.
00:39:52I think I know just the place to go.
00:39:56This is my favorite restaurant.
00:39:59They have the best steak in the city.
00:40:01Wow, I cannot imagine what a dish must cost around here.
00:40:04Oh, don't worry about it. Get whatever you want.
00:40:07It's on me anyway.
00:40:09Besides, I saved about a million dollars tonight.
00:40:15Welcome to LaBelle. Good to see you.
00:40:17Pleasure to meet you, sir. My name is Jesse Ross.
00:40:20I'm very excited to be at your establishment for the very first time.
00:40:24Great to have you here, Mr. Ross.
00:40:26I am Leonard, the manager.
00:40:28The lady must be your date for the night.
00:40:30My wife, Miss Serena Monroe.
00:40:33Congratulations on the new marriage.
00:40:35Please, follow me.
00:40:37Wait, how did you know that we recently got married?
00:40:44Wait, how did you know that we recently got married?
00:40:48You know, I've seen so many newly wedded couples come to this place to celebrate.
00:40:52They all have this special glow.
00:40:55Wow, that's very romantic. Thank you.
00:40:58I guess we do have a lot to celebrate.
00:41:01Perfect. Let me lead you to your table.
00:41:06We have this table for the two of you. Miss Monroe.
00:41:10Perfect. Thank you.
00:41:22Thank you, sir.
00:41:23You're welcome, sir.
00:41:25Is something wrong?
00:41:27No, nothing.
00:41:29Actually, this day has gone by so perfectly, it actually feels unreal.
00:41:35Well, it must be luck.
00:41:38No, it's you.
00:41:43It's you.
00:41:45Ever since I met you, everything just keeps falling into place.
00:41:50Ever since I met you, everything just keeps falling into place.
00:41:54You bring so much fortune into my life.
00:41:58I think you're my lucky star, Jesse.
00:42:10To our glow.
00:42:14To our glow.
00:42:19For some reason, I really like having him around.
00:42:24Should I hire him?
00:42:26Do I have something in my face?
00:42:28Um, no. It's not that.
00:42:32I was actually thinking, since you are my lucky star,
00:42:36why don't you come look with me at my company?
00:42:40I could use the luck, and I like having you around.
00:42:47Well, if you say it like that, where do I have fun?
00:42:55Oh, there you are.
00:42:57And you're the secret husband she's been hiding from me.
00:43:00He's not just okay, he's hot. Way to go, girl.
00:43:03Lynn, stop.
00:43:05I'm Lynn, Serena's best friend, assistant, therapist.
00:43:10Well, I'm hoping to take some of that responsibility off you from now on.
00:43:13I like him.
00:43:15Right. So I brought him here to do an interview with you.
00:43:18An interview for what?
00:43:20Anything. Just find him something to do.
00:43:23No pressure. Just try your best.
00:43:26Wait, Serena. This woman, I swear.
00:43:30I know, right?
00:43:31Well, let's get to it.
00:43:35What are you doing in my office?
00:43:44What are you doing in my office?
00:43:46And get out of my chair. You're getting your stench all over it.
00:43:49Always so high and mighty, aren't we, Serena?
00:43:53I guess you haven't heard the news.
00:43:55The Johnsons decided to pull out of your biggest project in Williamsburg.
00:43:59I guess they don't trust you with their money.
00:44:01No need to be nervous, okay? We'll just chat a bit.
00:44:04Sounds good to me, yeah.
00:44:06So you have your resume on you?
00:44:08Yeah, I do, yeah.
00:44:10I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but nothing too serious.
00:44:14Serena chose you as her Prince Charming.
00:44:17I'm sure you've done something...
00:44:19incredible.
00:44:21You went to Harvard?
00:44:22Yes, yeah.
00:44:23You were the chief of the department?
00:44:25Incredible.
00:44:26You went to Harvard?
00:44:27Yes, yeah.
00:44:28You were the chief designer of reconstruction of Shangri-La, Shanghai?
00:44:33That is correct, yeah.
00:44:34And you designed Crazy Maple Plaza in Silicon Valley.
00:44:39You know, with your resume, you could have a job in the industry anywhere in the world.
00:44:44I know.
00:44:46But there's only one Serena Morel.
00:44:50She's the most important thing to me.
00:44:55That's impossible.
00:44:57I just met with the COO last week.
00:44:59Wait, Ken went to college with him?
00:45:04You two did this?
00:45:06Don't point fingers when you can't even manage your own company.
00:45:10You start as CEO next week?
00:45:13What are you going to do?
00:45:15Well, as her assistant, I should be critical and grill you with more questions.
00:45:21But as her best friend, I feel like she is so lucky to have you.
00:45:29Hey, Serena.
00:45:33Serena's office.
00:45:34Shit.
00:45:35I think I recognize that voice.
00:45:37Carol Munro.
00:45:39Not you again.
00:45:46You start as CEO next week?
00:45:49What are you going to do?
00:45:51I'll find a solution.
00:45:52I'm not losing the Johnson case.
00:45:55There's a fine line between confidence and stupidity, Serena.
00:45:58You want a piece of free advice?
00:46:00Quit right now.
00:46:02I'll die before I let go of this company.
00:46:06Face it, Serena.
00:46:07Without the Johnson's money, you're going to lose the biggest case of your life.
00:46:11And I don't really think the board is going to be too happy about that.
00:46:15But I'll see if I can have Ken call them to change their minds.
00:46:20And all you'll have to do is get down on your hands and knees and beg me.
00:46:29What's more important to you?
00:46:31Your ego or your dead mother's company?
00:46:35Keep dreaming, Carol.
00:46:37Great.
00:46:38Looking forward to seeing you get fired.
00:46:45Wait.
00:46:56Wait.
00:47:15Don't do it.
00:47:16You again.
00:47:18You know what?
00:47:19Don't steal my line.
00:47:20And how dare you bully my wife like that.
00:47:22I didn't do anything.
00:47:23It's the Johnson's that pulled out of her project.
00:47:26Not anymore.
00:47:32Vincent.
00:47:33It's Jesse.
00:47:34Hello.
00:47:35I'm good, bro.
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:37Hey, I have a question for you.
00:47:38I heard you were pulling out of the Monroe project.
00:47:40Yeah?
00:47:41Oh, that would be amazing.
00:47:43Hey, I really appreciate it.
00:47:44Thank you so much.
00:47:45All right?
00:47:46All right.
00:47:47We'll talk soon.
00:47:48Be safe.
00:47:49Bye.
00:47:50All taken care of.
00:47:51Serena, thank you for the project.
00:47:53But the Johnson's.
00:47:54The Johnson's just agreed to sell the project for $20 million to Ross the Instruction.
00:47:57And they're going to continue to fund those strange projects.
00:48:00You're lying.
00:48:03Okay, you're lying.
00:48:04The Ross's wouldn't just donate $20 million to some project.
00:48:08You're more than welcome to call Vincent if you'd like yourself.
00:48:11But I doubt you have his phone number.
00:48:13Serena, it's all taken care of.
00:48:16Mark my words, Serena.
00:48:18Your luck will run out soon.
00:48:19And when it does, I'll be in the front row waiting for that day.
00:48:30Did she always say that you were like that?
00:48:35What's wrong?
00:48:36I thought you'd be happy about all this.
00:48:38I am happy that the project is being saved.
00:48:42But I don't know how I feel about it being the Ross's.
00:48:46Serena.
00:48:48Wait, how do you know Vincent Johnson?
00:48:51Oh, shit.
00:48:52What should I tell her?
00:48:53I, uh, I've helped him with some stuff.
00:48:59Yeah.
00:49:00Aw.
00:49:01I knew I was right about you.
00:49:03Jesse.
00:49:04Ross.
00:49:05How do you always end up being at the right place at the right time?
00:49:08Oh, that was close.
00:49:11Because I only do it for the right person.
00:49:15Stop, we're at the office.
00:49:20How was your interview, by the way?
00:49:22I don't know, you tell me.
00:49:23How was my performance back there, huh?
00:49:26You're hired as my personal assistant.
00:49:29Perfect.
00:49:30I've been dreaming of this day my whole life.
00:49:35Hey.
00:49:36See you at work.
00:49:38Bye.
00:49:41Cooper.
00:49:42Hey, uh, I wanted to let you know I am stepping away from the company for a little while.
00:49:46What?
00:49:47Why?
00:49:48I accepted a job offer from my wife as her assistant.
00:49:50Wait, why?
00:49:51Your company makes millions of dollars a month and you're tossing it aside for no good reason?
00:49:55Well, I'm doing it to be with Serena, that's the best reason.
00:49:59I'm not tossing it aside, I'm leaving it in your care while I'm gone.
00:50:02Oh, okay, yeah.
00:50:03Easy for you to say, boss.
00:50:05I trust you, Cooper, okay?
00:50:07You can do it.
00:50:08Alright, bye.
00:50:10Wait, hold on a second, boss.
00:50:11Wait.
00:50:28Surprise.
00:50:32Surprise.
00:50:36Did you do all of this?
00:50:39Anything for my wife?
00:50:44Is...
00:50:46Is that my apron?
00:50:48Okay, you can laugh all you want, I am not getting a stain on this shirt.
00:50:52Who says I'm laughing?
00:50:55Actually, I think it is quite sexy.
00:50:59Hmm.
00:51:00You're the first man who's ever cooked for me.
00:51:02Really?
00:51:03No one's ever done this for you?
00:51:05Men in my world are not like you, Jesse.
00:51:07They wear $5,000 suits, play golf, and they only care about two things.
00:51:13Spending money and how to make more of it.
00:51:17You're full of surprises.
00:51:20You're pretty special.
00:51:22You say the word, and I will do this for you every single day for the rest of your life.
00:51:32For the rest of your life?
00:51:34Or as long as you'll have me.
00:51:38Well, I have to taste test this first.
00:51:42Alright.
00:51:43Ladies first.
00:51:44Fair warning, I'm pretty picky.
00:51:46Don't take my chances.
00:51:49This is amazing.
00:51:50Um, you have a little something.
00:51:57A little something.
00:51:58Oh.
00:52:07Uh, this is so good.
00:52:10It's so good.
00:52:11It's so good.
00:52:12It's so good.
00:52:13It's so good.
00:52:14It's so good.
00:52:16Uh, this is too good to be true.
00:52:21You're too good to be true.
00:52:25I don't want to keep doing this to you.
00:52:28What are you talking about, Serena?
00:52:31I think we should end this.
00:52:34Oh no, did you find out who I am?
00:52:37I think we should end this.
00:52:40I proposed to you only to become CEO and you ended up being so special.
00:52:45Okay, I'm going to stop you right there.
00:52:47Yes, you did ask me to marry you.
00:52:50But have you ever thought about why I said yes?
00:52:54Because I'm paying you?
00:52:55Ten thousand dollars a month is a lot, yes.
00:52:59But it's not enough to make me stay.
00:53:01I stay because I like you.
00:53:04And I'm falling for you, Serena.
00:53:07Really?
00:53:09You're falling for me?
00:53:12Yes.
00:53:14Now.
00:53:17Shall we?
00:53:25So, you can dance.
00:53:28Do you have any other secrets that you're hiding from me, Jesse Rock?
00:53:32I guess we'll find out.
00:53:35Actually, I think I have a secret to tell you.
00:53:42Actually, I have a secret to tell you.
00:53:51I think I'm falling for you too.
00:53:55Well then, I guess we'll just call it even.
00:54:04Okay.
00:54:35Do you know that when two people look at each other's eyes long enough,
00:54:40their heartbeats synchronize?
00:54:43No way. You just made that up.
00:54:46I'm serious.
00:54:48Feel it.
00:54:59Serena?
00:55:01Serena?
00:55:05Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:55:10Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:55:13I...
00:55:14I don't know.
00:55:16I know he just recently took over the company a year ago.
00:55:20And it was his Uncle Alfred.
00:55:22He was going after my mom, not him.
00:55:25But he's still Ross.
00:55:28I don't know if I can look past that.
00:55:32I've never told anybody this,
00:55:35but even though my mom has been gone for five years,
00:55:40sometimes I pretend she's just traveling.
00:55:46And she'll come back one day.
00:55:49She was the only one that ever truly loved me.
00:55:53That's why I can't let go of this company.
00:55:57If I lose this, then...
00:56:00I lose everything of her.
00:56:02I'm sorry that you had to do it alone.
00:56:05It was hard.
00:56:07I'm not alone anymore.
00:56:10I have you.
00:56:13I haven't felt like this in a really, really long time.
00:56:19Like what?
00:56:21Like home.
00:56:27Yeah.
00:56:41We're going to have to move.
00:56:43If this is what you want to do, you can do that.
00:56:45But you're going to have to move it all the way over.
00:56:47This is the CEO office.
00:56:49Dad, have you ever heard of knocking?
00:56:51You think you're such a hero for securing funds from Ross Construction, do you?
00:56:56Here, why don't you take a look at this?
00:56:59Selena Mongreau broke our engagement
00:57:02and then married another man in less than 24 hours.
00:57:05She broke my heart.
00:57:07Worse than that, she broke my trust.
00:57:09And that is why I am hereby terminating all partnerships with Mongreau Constructions.
00:57:14Mr. Sandler.
00:57:16He cheats on me first and then he wants to go off about trust.
00:57:20That's funny.
00:57:21I don't care who cheated on whom.
00:57:23You ruined our relationship with Ken and now our business is sinking.
00:57:28Dad, you don't care about the company.
00:57:31You just want the bribe that Ken said he'd give you.
00:57:34How dare you accuse your father of this?
00:57:41How dare you accuse your father of this?
00:57:45Get your hands off me, you asshole!
00:57:48Anyone that hurts Serena, I'll hurt them first.
00:57:50Do you understand? You've got two options.
00:57:52You either walk out the door yourself or I'll throw you out.
00:57:55What is it? What are you going to do?
00:58:01That's what I thought.
00:58:04Who the hell is this?
00:58:06Jesse Ross, Serena's husband and personal assistant.
00:58:09You hired him?
00:58:11What is this, a homeless shelter?
00:58:13His resume was approved by HR.
00:58:15He got here fair and square, unlike you,
00:58:18who took Mom's seat on the board as soon as she passed.
00:58:21I swear, you mark my words, Serena.
00:58:23You're going to regret losing all the money that you had in projects with Ken.
00:58:28The big board meeting is tomorrow.
00:58:30And if you can't dig your way out of this,
00:58:32you can kiss this company goodbye.
00:58:43You okay?
00:58:46Don't worry about it.
00:58:47No, Jesse. He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
00:58:52No, Jesse. He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
00:58:55What are you talking about?
00:58:57You're Serena Marone. You'll figure it out.
00:58:59I know my wife.
00:59:01No, but the board doesn't, Jesse.
00:59:03And if I don't get enough business for the company,
00:59:05they're going to vote me out.
00:59:07I promised my mom and I'm failing her.
00:59:09Look at me.
00:59:11It's going to be okay.
00:59:13I will help you figure this out.
00:59:15We'll figure it out together, all right?
00:59:17The board meeting is in 24 hours, Jesse.
00:59:19No one can fix this.
00:59:23I know one person.
00:59:27I have an idea.
00:59:29And you're not going to like it. You're going to say no.
00:59:31But you've got to hear me out first.
00:59:34You need to call Jesse Ross and set up an in-person meeting with him.
00:59:41That is the only company in this industry
00:59:43that can handle all the properties of Kent's.
00:59:45This could be your only chance
00:59:47to actually save the company's reign. Do you understand?
00:59:49And this could be his shot
00:59:51to right the wrong that his family did to you.
00:59:53Even if I did call him up,
00:59:55everyone wants to work with him.
00:59:57Why would he choose me?
00:59:59He's chosen you before.
01:00:01I have a feeling that he could choose you again.
01:00:03I have to step out for a minute,
01:00:05but trust me,
01:00:07call him.
01:00:15What should I do, Mom?
01:00:17Promise me that you'll find someone kind,
01:00:19someone you trust,
01:00:21and take over the company
01:00:23when you turn 28.
01:00:25I promise.
01:00:27I promise.
01:00:29I promise.
01:00:31Take over the company when you turn 28.
01:00:33Keep our legacy.
01:00:43Hello?
01:00:45Boss, your wife,
01:00:47I mean, Miss Monroe,
01:00:49is on the line.
01:00:51Put her on.
01:00:55Good morning, Mr. Ross.
01:00:57This is Serena Monroe from Monroe Construction.
01:00:59We'd like to hear from you, Miss Monroe.
01:01:01Why does his voice sound so familiar?
01:01:03Is there anything that I can do for you?
01:01:05Yes, actually.
01:01:07Since we are officially doing business together,
01:01:09I think there are a few projects
01:01:11that would be perfect for your company,
01:01:13and I was wondering if you would be interested
01:01:15in meeting tonight in person
01:01:17to discuss our future together.
01:01:19That sounds wonderful.
01:01:21I would love to finally meet you
01:01:23in person, Miss Monroe.
01:01:25Oh, and may I just say,
01:01:27I really admire what you are doing
01:01:29over at that company.
01:01:31I think you're a very bright
01:01:33and strong woman.
01:01:35Thank you, Mr. Ross.
01:01:37Please call me Jesse.
01:01:39See you tonight then, Jesse.
01:01:43He's a lot nicer than I thought.
01:01:49Okay, this might be my last night with you, Serena,
01:01:51but I'm just going to tell you the truth
01:01:53and hope for the best.
01:01:57Jesse, I don't know if I can do this.
01:01:59I'm freaking out right now.
01:02:01Look at me.
01:02:03Everything is going to be okay tonight, all right?
01:02:05I promise.
01:02:07How can you be so sure?
01:02:09Because you're amazing, and he will see that.
01:02:11And we're also named Jesse Ross,
01:02:13so, like, I basically know how his brain works.
01:02:15That wasn't scientific at all.
01:02:17But it worked, didn't it?
01:02:19Guess what?
01:02:21I have a surprise for you.
01:02:23Okay.
01:02:25Come with me.
01:02:31Where did you find
01:02:33such a place?
01:02:35Well, I know the owner,
01:02:37and he agreed to lend it to me.
01:02:39I mean, I figured we never had a first date,
01:02:41so, uh, why not?
01:02:47This is beautiful, Jesse.
01:02:49It really is.
01:02:51Wait, don't move.
01:02:55Why?
01:02:57I'm trying to see if our heartbeats synchronize.
01:03:01And what do you think?
01:03:03I can't tell.
01:03:05It seems like yours is getting
01:03:07faster and faster.
01:03:09And who's fault is it?
01:03:11I don't know.
01:03:19I'm lucky to have found you, Serena.
01:03:21Me too, Jesse.
01:03:23You know, something weird
01:03:25happened earlier when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:03:29I saw your face.
01:03:35It was like
01:03:37you had some weird
01:03:39familiarity somehow.
01:03:43It must have been a deja vu moment.
01:03:45It must be.
01:03:51Oh, my God.
01:03:53I'm an idiot.
01:03:55Is it finally time?
01:03:57You planned this whole
01:03:59date for us, and here I am talking about
01:04:01another man.
01:04:03So sorry.
01:04:05It's okay.
01:04:07I am just glad
01:04:09to be in this moment with you.
01:04:11Well,
01:04:13Jesse,
01:04:15I'm your wife.
01:04:17You have your whole life to spend with me.
01:04:19And mark my words,
01:04:21Jesse Ross, you're not gonna get rid of me
01:04:23that easy.
01:04:25Then I am the luckiest man in the world.
01:04:27I love you.
01:04:31You have no idea how much I wish
01:04:33you'd never know who I really am.
01:04:37I love you too, Jesse.
01:04:41I love you too.
01:04:59Well, I guess we're back
01:05:01where it all started.
01:05:03I guess we are.
01:05:11Hi.
01:05:21I'm sorry. I gotta take this.
01:05:23Okay. I'll just meet you out there.
01:05:29Serena?
01:05:33Nothing.
01:05:35Good.
01:05:37Serena,
01:05:39I promise I will tell you
01:05:41everything when I'm done.
01:05:45Alfred?
01:05:47Jesse!
01:05:49Did you really think you could keep Serena Monroe
01:05:51a secret from me?
01:05:53Stay out of it, okay? This is between me
01:05:55and her.
01:05:57Not anymore.
01:05:59Come up to my suite. We need to talk.
01:06:07Okay.
01:06:09Five more minutes.
01:06:33I thought you were in Europe.
01:06:35You wouldn't return my calls, Jesse.
01:06:39So I thought
01:06:41either you're in trouble
01:06:43or you're hiding something from me.
01:06:45Turns out
01:06:47both my guesses are correct.
01:06:49Me and Serena are married.
01:06:51I'm investing in her project so she can keep her company.
01:06:53You can't do anything about it.
01:06:57You've always been a hopeless romantic, Jesse.
01:06:59And that's the worst quality I see in you.
01:07:01Now, don't get me wrong.
01:07:03I'm proud of you
01:07:05for gaining Serena Monroe's trust.
01:07:07She never would have agreed to sit down with me.
01:07:09And I do like her projects.
01:07:11But then I thought,
01:07:13why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:07:19Why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:07:21She's given everything for that company.
01:07:23You can't just take it from her.
01:07:25I'm not taking it from her.
01:07:27I'm giving it to her.
01:07:29You can't just take it from her.
01:07:31I'm not taking anything.
01:07:33I'm buying.
01:07:35I'm going to make her a decent offer.
01:07:37And if she's smart enough, she'll take it.
01:07:39I'm not going to let you do that.
01:07:41I know you won't.
01:07:43Which is why
01:07:45I have to do this.
01:07:47Alfred.
01:07:49Alfred!
01:07:51Hey!
01:07:53No, no, no!
01:07:55Hey, hey!
01:07:57Hey!
01:08:05I see you've noticed
01:08:07the proposal I drafted for us, Ms. Monroe.
01:08:11Alfred Ross.
01:08:15Alfred Ross.
01:08:17I know you're expecting my nephew.
01:08:19However,
01:08:21I just had a chat with him
01:08:23and unfortunately we were unable to come to terms
01:08:25on our business strategy.
01:08:27Business strategy?
01:08:29Is that what you call trying to force a dying woman
01:08:31to sell her company?
01:08:33I understand your frustration, Ms. Monroe.
01:08:35But I'm a businessman.
01:08:37So was your mother.
01:08:39A successful one, I might add.
01:08:41She knew the rules of the game.
01:08:43And so do you.
01:08:45Fuck!
01:08:47Fuck!
01:08:51I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Ross,
01:08:53but it seems
01:08:55that we have too much history
01:08:57to continue this conversation.
01:08:59I'd like to speak
01:09:01with your nephew, if I may.
01:09:03Unfortunately, Jesse is currently occupied.
01:09:05But I assure you, Ms. Monroe,
01:09:07I speak for the both of us.
01:09:09After all,
01:09:13we are family.
01:09:19Jesse's phone.
01:09:23He's your nephew.
01:09:27He's the Jesse Ross.
01:09:31Now, I know all about your situation,
01:09:33Ms. Monroe.
01:09:35And I assure you, I have your best solution right here.
01:09:37I'm never selling my company.
01:09:39Especially not to you.
01:09:43I knew you'd say that.
01:09:45But to me, it's really all the same.
01:09:47You see, it's simple.
01:09:49Either you sign
01:09:51these papers now and sell to me,
01:09:53or tomorrow you get voted out by your board.
01:09:55Your stocks crash,
01:09:57and I buy it cheap.
01:09:59Whatever you choose, Ms. Monroe,
01:10:01I'll get what I want.
01:10:09Shit!
01:10:11Hey! Somebody let me out!
01:10:15Cooper! How did you find me?
01:10:17I couldn't reach you, boss,
01:10:19so I tracked your phone to this hotel.
01:10:21I saw your uncle locked down in the lobby
01:10:23with your phone, so I knew something was off.
01:10:25The front desk told me he checked into this room.
01:10:27Alfred is forcing Serena to sell the company.
01:10:29We need to get down there right now.
01:10:31Okay.
01:10:35So,
01:10:37everything he did
01:10:39was to get close to me.
01:10:41To get my company.
01:10:43Are there any other secrets
01:10:45you're hiding from me, Jesse Ross?
01:10:47I guess we'll find out.
01:10:49You know, something weird happened earlier
01:10:51when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:10:53I saw your face.
01:10:55Love clouds one's vision.
01:10:57And as you know,
01:10:59in this business, your vision must
01:11:01always be crystal clear.
01:11:05Sign this.
01:11:07You'll get a fair price,
01:11:09board seat, and your share of stocks.
01:11:11Or
01:11:13wait till tomorrow and let your board
01:11:15decide the fate of your company.
01:11:17Like I said, it's really all the same to me.
01:11:29Promise me, Serena,
01:11:31take over the company when you turn 28
01:11:33and keep our legacy.
01:11:35I'm sorry, Mom.
01:11:37I'm tired.
01:11:39Don't do it, Serena.
01:11:41Jesse, what the hell are you doing?
01:11:43You keep me in a hotel room
01:11:45so you can force Serena to sign an acquisition contract?
01:11:47You gotta stop this, Alfred.
01:11:49It's been five years since you tried to
01:11:51take Serena's mother and make her sign a contract
01:11:53when she was dying of cancer.
01:11:55What, are you gonna do it again?
01:11:57I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:11:59This is fucking business,
01:12:01and I'd do it all over again for my company.
01:12:03Cooper, you got it?
01:12:05Loud and clear.
01:12:07I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:12:09This is fucking business,
01:12:11and I'd do it all over again for my company.
01:12:15Now I'm gonna bring that recording
01:12:17to the board of my company,
01:12:19and we're gonna see if your business strategies align with us.
01:12:21But if you want my advice,
01:12:23you better start packing.
01:12:25How dare you?
01:12:27I am your uncle. This is our family business.
01:12:29Not anymore.
01:12:31I'm CEO of Ross Construction,
01:12:33and we're gonna do this my way.
01:12:35You know what?
01:12:37You better leave now before I make you.
01:12:41Hold on.
01:12:43You're forgetting something.
01:13:05Serena, Serena,
01:13:07I can explain.
01:13:09No, don't tell me that you can explain.
01:13:11Weren't you lucky that I happened to stumble
01:13:13into the wrong hotel room that one night?
01:13:15I poured my heart out to you,
01:13:17and you've been lying to me this whole time.
01:13:19The marriage,
01:13:21the house, even this meeting,
01:13:23all for what?
01:13:25So you can earn my business,
01:13:27redeem your name,
01:13:29pretend that you're some good person?
01:13:31No, none of that at all, actually.
01:13:33Then why did you do this?
01:13:35Because I fell in love with you
01:13:37five years ago.
01:13:45I didn't know anything about you,
01:13:47but I thought about you
01:13:49every single day
01:13:51for five years.
01:13:53It was winter.
01:13:55You got robbed,
01:13:57and I gave you my coat.
01:13:59I thought I would never see you again.
01:14:01And then you walk into my hotel room.
01:14:03I was shocked.
01:14:05But then I realized that my family hurt you
01:14:07and how much you hated me.
01:14:09So you pretend to be
01:14:11my escort?
01:14:13What, to get close to me, to become
01:14:15my best friend?
01:14:19You can't do this to me, Jesse.
01:14:21You lied to me.
01:14:23You manipulated me. You created this fairy tale
01:14:25of us.
01:14:27You made me fall in love with somebody
01:14:29who didn't exist.
01:14:33Serena, did you really?
01:14:37Did you fall in love with me?
01:14:47Did you really fall in love with me?
01:14:49I can't. I can't do this, Jesse.
01:14:53I am sorry
01:14:55that I lied to you.
01:14:57You have every right to be mad.
01:15:01But I don't want to lose you again.
01:15:03And you know
01:15:05that everything that we have here
01:15:07is real.
01:15:09You know that.
01:15:11It's so much easier to hate you
01:15:13than to love you.
01:15:27It's so much easier to hate you
01:15:29than love you, Jesse.
01:15:39Serena, wait.
01:15:41It's done.
01:15:43I'm losing the company tomorrow.
01:15:45I'm just going to leave LA, okay?
01:15:47No, it's not.
01:15:49Because you never said it was.
01:15:51What are you talking about?
01:15:53I told myself to let you hate me
01:15:55and to let you go.
01:15:57But you never said it.
01:16:03I've been waiting for the right time to give you this.
01:16:07I know that you lost your home
01:16:09and you lost your mother
01:16:11and that it's very hard to believe in somebody again.
01:16:13But if you can change your mind,
01:16:15I can be your home.
01:16:17Yeah.
01:16:23I'm still the same person that you fell in love with.
01:16:25And I can keep waiting for you.
01:16:27I've done it for five years.
01:16:29I can do it again.
01:16:37Jesse, I can't.
01:16:39Why?
01:16:45Because I already proposed to you once.
01:16:49Now it's your turn.
01:16:51And you have to do it right.
01:16:59All right.
01:17:03Serena Monroe,
01:17:05will you marry me
01:17:07again?
01:17:11Yes.
01:17:21I love you,
01:17:23Serena Monroe.
01:17:25I love you too, Jesse.
01:17:27Are there any more secrets
01:17:29that you need to tell me?
01:17:31Not anymore.
01:17:33I promise.
01:17:59All right, it's official.
01:18:01Robert and Carolyn Monroe
01:18:03are officially off the board
01:18:05and are no longer entitled
01:18:07to your company.
01:18:09How does it feel, Madam CEO?
01:18:11Freaking awesome.
01:18:17Oh.
01:18:19I have to go.
01:18:21Thank you, Lynn.
01:18:23You know, actually,
01:18:25why don't you just take the rest of the day off?
01:18:27Uh, sure.
01:18:29I heard
01:18:31you were also having the day off.
01:18:33This woman, I swear.
01:18:53Okay, you can laugh all you want,
01:18:55but I am not getting pesto
01:18:57in this suit.
01:18:59It costs $5,000.
01:19:01Well, I bought it for you.
01:19:03So it's your
01:19:05monthiversary as CEO.
01:19:07How are you feeling, Ms. Monroe?
01:19:09I am feeling
01:19:11excited,
01:19:13powerful,
01:19:15exhausted,
01:19:17and so, so, so hungry.
01:19:19Well, we can take care of that.
01:19:23Do you know that I am so happy for you?
01:19:25That you got your company back.
01:19:27And I am very proud of you, sweetheart.
01:19:29Am I still being
01:19:31too much, or...?
01:19:33No, I think it's perfect.
01:19:39What are you thinking?
01:19:41I don't know.
01:19:43It's just...
01:19:45feels like home.
01:19:55Mother,
01:19:57you have to do something
01:19:59about that bitch.
01:20:01She kicked me and Daddy
01:20:03out of the company.
01:20:05This is all because she married
01:20:07that Jesse Ross.
01:20:09We almost had her
01:20:11and her company.
01:20:13The worst part is,
01:20:15Ken hasn't been picking up any of my calls
01:20:17or responding to any of my text messages.
01:20:19So he's probably with some new bitch.
01:20:21Stop crying and bitching!
01:20:23Turn on the TV!
01:20:25Last month,
01:20:27Ken Snyder accused his ex-fiancée,
01:20:29Serena Monroe, of cheating.
01:20:31Turns out, he was the one who cheated first.
01:20:33And we have photos to prove it.
01:20:39No!
01:20:41No!
