00:00Shouldn't you go back to your wife?
00:15This party looks a lot more fun to me.
00:22Where is Eric?
00:24I'll be right back.
00:31Eric?
00:33Time to cut the cake!
00:35What the hell?
00:59Our wedding is literally in progress right now.
01:02As in your wedding with me.
01:04We, uh, lost track of time.
01:06Yeah, sorry, Layla.
01:08I told him to wait, but he just couldn't help it.
01:12Hey, watch it, Layla.
01:15She owned me during our wedding.
01:18Please, this is an arranged marriage.
01:21I'm just here to get you pregnant.
01:23You get your grandpa's inheritance, and I get my cut.
01:28So stop being a bitch about it, okay?
01:30I need a baby, but it does not need to be with you.
01:34Oh, really?
01:35Your grandpa chose me.
01:37I would rather die than have your baby.
01:39You'll be crawling back to me by the end of the night.
01:44And this will be the best decision I have ever made.
01:52This is the worst decision that I have ever made.
01:55How am I supposed to get pregnant if I don't have a husband?
02:00He did what?
02:02No, and now I can't have a baby.
02:08Layla, this is for your own good.
02:12Giving me an ultimatum for your inheritance?
02:14Making me marry Eric, really?
02:17How is that for my own good?
02:19I need you to have a stable family before I go, Layla.
02:23A husband, a child, to be with you when I'm not.
02:26You are not going anywhere.
02:31Your surgery is going to go well.
02:34I'll get to see your baby.
02:37Yeah.
02:46What am I going to do?
02:52I'll hire you a cowboy.
02:54A what?
02:56A what?
03:00A what?
03:01A cowboy, like a male prostitute, but fancy.
03:06I know this company, they have the best of the best.
03:08A bartender?
03:09No strings.
03:10You pay him, he gives you a baby.
03:13Done.
03:16Okay.
03:17It's a bartender.
03:18Two more shots of tequila.
03:21No, no, no, no, no.
03:22Actually, if you...
03:24Can you make a phone call?
03:28Cheers.
03:50Why does everything have to suck today?
03:54I don't know.
04:12I need you, Layla.
04:24I need you.
04:54I need you.
05:14Don't.
05:15I want to see your face.
05:20Just feel me.
05:24Just feel me.
05:54Just feel me.
06:24Just feel me.

19:04the time to do that well everybody has price so name yours miss reed i i just don't think it's
19:13the best idea it's not what i felt like this morning i'm actually outside of a really important
19:22business meeting so how about we discuss this tonight 8 p.m in person um okay uh let me check
19:29my schedule text you miss reed welcome to the callaway group we have been
19:42expecting you
19:47miss reed allow me to introduce the chairman and ceo of the callaway group matthew callaway
19:53it's good to see you we've met oh shit she recognized me we went to college together
20:01mr callaway has such a way of making himself known i think he dated just about every single
20:09girl in our school that's not true now he's also very close with my amazing husband eric price
20:14that's absolutely not true we're not friends you know i guess there's a lot about his character
20:18actually you know eric actually booked the callaway for our wedding venue which is a pretty
20:22fine choice if i might ask which has become the most dramatic place on earth for me which
20:26comes to show that i'm pretty set on not moving my bookstore so that you can build another one
20:31of your horrendous hotels on top of it i think you mean that right no well great this meeting
20:36is gonna go great um miss reed please follow me
20:45please have a seat
20:51so uh what seems to be your main concern here miss reed my main concern mr callaway is that
20:58you're trying to buy out my mom's life's work destroy it no i think you're greatly
21:04misunderstanding i mean you see we offer really generous packages to all the local businesses
21:09on the street to relocate i mean it could be even somewhere more lucrative that's not the point
21:14my parents built that store from scratch every piece of wood every brick every stroke of paint
21:20it was my mother's dream it was it was the one thing they left me after the accident
21:26is this why she desperately needs her grandma's money
21:30it is my duty to protect it all of it right where it is what is reed with all due respect
21:40you won't be able to pay back the loans you took out for the store people don't read physical
21:45books anymore it's all about audio it would be in your best interest to cash out you know
21:51you talk about having my best interest but you didn't even bother to offer me a glass of water
21:57big corporations like you have no heart and that that is my concern men like you
22:04have no heart i came here to prove my point chapters bookstore is not going
22:09anyway
