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