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