Transcript
00:00You can ask anything of me, except make you fall in love with me.
00:11Mr. Erickson, I think you misunderstood.
00:14I don't go out to give myself away, so I won't trade myself for anything.
00:18In fact, I plan now to officially quit working.
00:21Because from here on, I'm gonna be focusing on my graduation thesis.
00:25We won't be seeing each other again, so I'm going to wish you a good life.
00:31As Emma walked out of the room, Robert was stunned to see her courage.
00:37No woman had previously rejected anything he had offered.
00:41Although Emma never wanted to see him again, he was not going to let go of her so easily.
00:46This was just the beginning.
00:48Emma Green was actually Emma Mayer, but she had changed her last name once she cut ties with her father.
00:54Emma was saving her virginity for the right moment with Ted,
00:56but he could not keep it in his pants, and slept with Kristen, that too in Emma's bed.
01:02That night, Emma drank endlessly, to forget what she had just seen.
01:07She wanted to numb her aching heart and forget about Ted.
01:11She was soon out of control and spotted a charming billionaire across the bar,
01:15not realizing this man would alter her life in unexpected ways.
01:19Soon, Emma hit it off with the handsome-looking man, unable to realize that he is not a stranger, but an acquaintance.
01:27She was not in her senses, and she let go of all control with Robert.
01:32Little did she know this would be the biggest mistake of her life.
01:35The next morning, Emma woke up with her head hurting, and absolutely no memory of the previous night,
01:41just her clothes lying around in different corners of the room.
01:44When she suddenly found herself lying naked in bed,
01:47she immediately covered herself with the first thing she could grab.
01:51Her heart sank when she saw bloodstains on the bedsheet.
01:54Everything was an evidence of the sins she had committed last night,
01:58when suddenly she heard Robert's voice, and she panicked to find out it was him.
02:02Emma, don't you want to talk about what happened last night?
02:06She rushed to gather her clothes in a hurry, unable to process the chaos.
02:10How did she lose her virginity to Robert Erickson out of all people?
02:14She realized she was in deep trouble.
02:16She covered herself under the sheets, to get dressed in a haste.
02:20Each article of clothing was a potential witness of the night she was going to regret forever.
02:25She took a deep breath and confronted Robert Erickson.
02:29Mr. Erickson, can we forget that anything happened between us last night?
02:33If you're worried about any STDs, I can assure you I'm still a virgin.
02:37Was.
02:39Was a virgin.
02:41The only person that hasn't lost anything here is me.
02:48I did not know you were f***ing dead with someone.
02:52As compensation, I will allow you one demand.
02:58You can ask anything of me.
03:00Except...
03:02Make you fall in love with me.
03:05Mr. Erickson, I think you've misunderstood.
03:08I don't go out to give myself away, so I won't trade myself for anything.
03:12In fact, I plan now to officially quit working.
03:16Because from here on, I'm going to be focusing on my graduation thesis.
03:20We won't be seeing each other again.
03:23So I'm going to wish you a good life.
03:25Goodbye.
03:30As Emma walked out of the room, Robert was stunned to see her courage.
03:35No woman had previously rejected anything he had offered.
03:39Although Emma never wanted to see him again,
03:42he was not going to let go of her so easily.
03:45This was just the beginning.
03:47Emma Green was actually Emma Mayer,
03:49but she had changed her last name once she cut ties with her father,
03:52and that's where all the problem lies,
03:54in her hidden identity of being a mayor.
03:57Did Robert Erickson know the truth about what Emma was hiding?
04:00Was this all a planned setup?
04:02Emma looked around, making sure nobody saw her getting out of Mr. Erickson's house.
04:07As she walked fast, with tension piling up,
04:10she received a call from Robert.
04:12She damned well knew he wouldn't let go so easily.
04:16Robert Erickson was the wealthiest man in town.
04:19Everyone was scared of his assertiveness and power.
04:22Rumor had it that he had killed his older brother
04:25and pushed his younger brother from coming in the way of him
04:27becoming the sole inheritor of the family business.
04:30If there was one person nobody should mess with,
04:33it was him.
04:35He was the owner of Emblem Corporation,
04:37which was one of the biggest companies that stood as a rival to the Mayers Group.
04:41That was owned by Emma's father.
04:44This rivalry extended beyond financial competition.
04:47Their unscrupulous methods caused collateral damage on both sides.
04:52She had slept with her father's biggest enemy.
04:55What will Emma do if her father gets to know about this?
04:58Emma was in big trouble.
05:00She founds her pace, eager to distance herself from Robert's home.
05:03If anyone from the Mayer family ever discovered this,
05:06the shame would be unbearable.
05:08Emma walked away when suddenly...
05:10Emma, listen to me, please!
05:15Emma, are you alright?
05:18What are you doing walking around in this neighborhood?
05:20Like either of you care.
05:23Please, Kristen, save me from the nice girl next door talk.
05:26I'm sorry.
05:28Okay, it's my fault.
05:30I'm the one that seduced Ted.
05:32If you want to blame anyone, blame me.
05:34I'm sorry, Emma.
05:36Emma looked at them both, confused, not knowing what to say.
05:40It was the worst day of her life.
05:42Ted, you don't have to worry about me.
05:44Kristen, he's all yours.
05:46And as far as you and I go, this friendship is done.
05:48Goodbye.
05:50Emma!
05:52Emma!
05:54Emma!
05:56Don't!
05:57Emma stopped a random car on the road and sat inside without a second thought.
06:02Move, move, move!
06:04Emma sat there anxiously.
06:06When she turned around, she found Robert sitting next to her.
06:09How did he find out she would be there?
06:12She was perplexed.
06:14She knew he was up to something.
06:16Something evil was going on behind his calm and composed mind.
06:19In order to escape from Ted and Kristen,
06:21she had landed herself into another problem.
06:24Are you stalking me now?
06:27Take me to Elm Road or I'll sue you for being a perv.
06:33Do as this lady says.
06:35Remorse filled her.
06:37She was scared of being around him.
06:39His presence reminded her of the night she had spent with him.
06:42And now he remained silent, exuding an aura of mystery.
06:46She wanted to know what was going on in that complex brain of his.
06:50She could not comprehend how she lost her boyfriend,
06:53best friend and her virginity all on the same day.
06:55Although she knew Robert was a dangerous guy,
06:58her father's biggest enemy,
07:00his presence gave her a sense of comfort
07:02and she wanted someone to listen to her problems at the moment.
07:05She wanted a shoulder to cry on.
07:08And what's up with you?
07:10Didn't I tell you I never want to see you again?
07:12Miss Green,
07:14you were the one sitting in my car.
07:16Yes.
07:18Sorry.
07:20That was my boyfriend,
07:22ex-boyfriend
07:23and my best friend.
07:26Well,
07:28I thought she was my best friend
07:30who are apparently now a thing.
07:34Anyways, I'm sorry.
07:37I just had to get out of that situation.
07:40So you thought
07:42let's take up hitchhiking
07:44and jump in a new one.
07:47Sorry?
07:49Emma was confused to find him taunting her instead of comforting.
07:52His eyes shifted towards her shoes,
07:54pointing towards the pile of mud
07:56she had scattered in his clean luxury car.
07:59I promise, Robert,
08:01I'll clean your car.
08:03I'm sorry for making a mess.
08:05I'll appreciate that.
08:07Emma was perplexed.
08:09Robert was giving her mixed signals.
08:11After all that happened last night,
08:13all he cared about was his car getting dirtied.
08:15What she did not realize
08:17was this was another excuse of his
08:19to meet her yet again.
08:21Be more careful.
08:23Someone dangerous might pick you up.
08:25Although his advice was genuine,
08:27it seemed like a threat.
08:29Although his words made sense,
08:31Emma felt like there was something more
08:33to how he meant them.
08:35Something felt wrong with what he said.
08:37Okay.
08:39He stared as Emma left the car
08:41and crossed the road.
08:43What was Robert planning?
08:45What was his next move?
08:47What is his agenda of following Emma everywhere
08:49and making it seem like a mere coincidence?
08:51The next day,
08:53Emma went to see a gynecologist
08:55to get herself tested.
08:57She was worried to the core.
08:59What if she got pregnant from last night?
09:01Please don't be pregnant.
09:03Please don't be pregnant.
09:05Use the ******.
09:07Oh, you wouldn't have sex with a random girl
09:09without protection, would you?
09:16Okay, Miss Green.
09:18Your test results are ready.
09:19Please meet me in the waiting room.
09:21Hi.
09:23Okay.
09:25Your STD results are negative,
09:27which is good.
09:29Pregnancy test is negative.
09:31However,
09:33during my examination,
09:35I have found some minor bleeding
09:37and swelling,
09:39most likely within the last 12 hours.
09:41I will prescribe
09:43some pain medicine for you.
09:45You should abstain
09:47from all sexual activities
09:49and even if you need to,
09:51you should not be using any toys
09:53or tools
09:55until you're fully healed.
09:57Did the doctor just mention
09:59toys and tools?
10:01It was too much to take in
10:03for someone like Emma
10:05who had just lost her virginity.
10:07What had Robert done
10:09that the doctor had to mention
10:11such a discreet information?
10:13That won't be a problem.
10:15Emma picks her bag
10:17with a sense of relief
10:19with no hint of how to get answers
10:21to those questions.
10:23She could not believe
10:25that a sophisticated man
10:27like Robert Erickson
10:29who presents himself so well
10:31in front of the world
10:33would go to an extent
10:35of using tools and toys
10:37on the girl he just met that night.
10:39Drained from all the overthinking,
10:41she went back to her hostel room
10:43isolated from everyone
10:45to spend some time alone
10:47and untangle her thoughts.
10:49No one was there
10:51but she walked inside
10:53and shut the windows.
10:55The next day,
10:57she got a call
10:59from an unknown number.
11:01How was the doctor's visit?
11:03Are you following me?
11:05Look, I don't know
11:07what kind of weird stuff
11:09you're into
11:10but I told you already.
11:12I wanted to remind you
11:14that apart from just
11:16a doctor's appointment,
11:17I'm busy right now.
11:19I have midterm coming up
11:21and I'm heading to the library.
11:23After this,
11:25I will come and do the needful.
11:27Emma was confused
11:29to find out that Robert
11:31had invited her near a hotel
11:33to get his car washed.
11:35She was not able to decode him.
11:37What does he want?
11:39What exactly do you want from me?
11:41Just have a meal with me.
11:43Isn't that better
11:45than cleaning my car?
11:47Instead of having a meal with him
11:49rather than washing his car,
11:51this was a nice gesture from him,
11:53Emma thought to herself.
11:55Does Robert like her?
11:57Today's task is to laugh and eat.
12:00Don't talk nonsense.
12:02Just when Emma considered
12:04the possibility of this meal
12:06being a date,
12:08she got to know
12:10there was another woman
12:12who would be accompanying
12:14the two of them.
12:15My name is Miss Green.
12:19Hello.
12:21I'm Jennifer Walt.
12:23Well, I used to be Samuel's tutor.
12:25I resigned to focus on my thesis.
12:28Hi, Miss Walt.
12:30I was afraid I was disturbing you
12:32and your other commitments.
12:34You're not.
12:36But I had to bring Miss Green here
12:38because I made an appointment
12:40with her first.
12:42You don't mind, do you?
12:43Of course not.
12:45The more the merrier.
12:47The entire time Robert acted
12:49very different and touchy.
12:51He tucked Emma's hair behind
12:53and served her portions of food
12:55from time to time,
12:57almost as if he was her boyfriend.
12:59Jennifer glanced at the two of them
13:01with jealousy in her eyes
13:03while Emma was clueless
13:05about what was happening.
13:07Do you mind if I have a chat
13:09with Rob for a moment?
13:11No worries.
13:13I'll be right back.
13:18How have you been?
13:20I'm fine.
13:22Don't try to piss me off.
13:24I'm not trying to make you feel bad.
13:26I know you, Robert.
13:28You're doing this to make me jealous.
13:30I think you should go back.
13:32There'll be a meeting in the afternoon.
13:34I still need to drop Emma off at school.
13:36Jennifer walked away in anger
13:38after Robert ignored her
13:40throughout the lunch and even outside.
13:41What was he trying to prove?
13:43Robert walked outside the restaurant
13:45to find Emma laughing at him.
13:47What are you laughing at?
13:49You like Miss Waltz.
13:51Wait.
13:53You brought me here to provoke her
13:55on purpose, didn't you?
13:57You didn't really have to do that.
13:59She obviously has some strong feelings
14:01for you as well.
14:03You don't know what you're talking about.
14:05I suggest you refrain from speaking to me
14:07out of your place in the future.
14:09Emma looked at him with confusion
14:11in the future?
14:13She never wanted to meet him ever again
14:15and after this meal they were even.
14:17Why would she see him ever again
14:19and why was he so confident about it?
14:21Get in the car.
14:23I'll take you back to school.
14:25No, thanks. I'll take the bus.
14:27As Robert sat in the car
14:29he realized Emma had left her phone
14:31and bag inside.
14:33Emma's ex was calling
14:35and without any hesitation
14:37Robert answered the call.
14:39Hello.
14:41Emma left her bag in the car
14:43so she rushed towards the car
14:45to get it from him before the bus comes
14:47or else she will get late for school.
14:49Get in the car, Em.
14:51Now he was calling her Em?
14:53When did they get so comfortable?
14:55Give me my bag, please.
14:57It'll take you at least an hour and a half
14:59to jog from here to your school.
15:01Are you sure you can still make it
15:03in time for class?
15:12Someone called you just now.
15:17You answered my phone?
15:19What if it was something urgent?
15:22What did he say?
15:24He just asked who I was
15:26and where you were.
15:28So, how did you answer?
15:30Is it important?
15:32This is my phone.
15:34You answered it without my permission.
15:36I have every right to know
15:38the subject of conversation.
15:39I said I'm your extortion target.
15:42Your bag was in my car.
15:45So,
15:47you're a boyfriend, right?
15:49Ex-boyfriend.
15:51Did you guys fight?
15:53That has nothing to do with you, Mr. Erickson.
15:56Emma did not engage in his questions
15:59and left the car without looking at him.
16:01The moment she left the car
16:03someone from behind shouted her name.
16:05Emma!
16:07It was Emma's older brother Jack
16:09and his enemy.
16:11What will happen if they see each other?
16:13Emma's biggest nightmare had come true.
