Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I, Alisa, a nobody in the workplace, single since birth for 23 years, never even held
00:00:13a man's hand, but last night I accidentally slept with my boss.
00:00:17He's a CEO, he's the kind of guy that you read about in novels, and he already has a
00:00:22woman in his heart.
00:00:23Hey, it's been a really long night.
00:00:25Hey, it's been a really long night, and I think it should be a longer night.
00:00:34You should come over.
00:00:36I'll see you soon.
00:00:41What do you mean by question mark?
00:00:43Because you used to be fun.
00:00:45I have good wine.
00:00:47I'm in room 1501.
00:00:49I'll see you soon.
00:00:55I'm coming.
00:01:06I'm sorry.
00:01:09What are you doing?
00:01:25I'll see you soon.
00:01:36Alisa?
00:01:37Hey, Mom.
00:01:38Please come home as soon as possible.
00:01:40I just received an order from the court, since we are unable to repay the huge debt your
00:01:45father owed.
00:01:46Our house will be auctioned off to pay off the debt.
00:01:50We must move out of the house now.
00:01:52Don't worry, I'm gonna be right there.
00:02:03Oh my god. Mom, are you okay?
00:02:07I'm fine, honey.
00:02:10I'm so sorry I couldn't save the house.
00:02:14Don't worry. As long as we're together, we'll get through this difficult time.
00:02:20I'm sorry.
00:02:23Is there anything else in there?
00:02:25No, this is it.
00:02:29One second, okay? I'll be right back.
00:02:32Hello?
00:02:33Elisa, where are you? Don't you remember we were supposed to meet in the conference room at 9?
00:02:39Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:41I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home and, um, if you could please just tell management that...
00:02:49Hello?
00:02:51No, no, no, no, no. Stop.
00:02:55I just lost my house and now I'm gonna lose my job too? Where am I gonna find a million dollars?
00:03:04Elisa? Why are you crying?
00:03:08Um...
00:03:12Mr. Hawthorne, what are you doing here?
00:03:14Oh, I'm actually here for you.
00:03:16What?
00:03:17I need a marriage partner.
00:03:19Again, what?
00:03:20I need you to be my wife. Give it a thought.
00:03:26Mr. Hawthorne, I was really drunk last night and I can't remember how everything happened after, but you really don't...
00:03:34Look, I know some unfortunate things have happened in your family recently.
00:03:40This card has more than enough on it to pay off all your debts and make sure that your house doesn't get auctioned off.
00:03:46If you agree, we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:03:58Why do you want to help me?
00:04:00I told you, I need a wife. And you're the most suitable person.
00:04:11Okay.
00:04:13It's for my family.
00:04:15I have no other way.
00:04:18Mr. Hawthorne, thank you so much for helping me. I promise I will pay you back every cent as soon as I can.
00:04:25You don't pay me back more than happy.
00:04:29I'm gonna get back to work then.
00:04:31Uh, Ronan will actually take you back. And I'll give you my home address so you can move in tonight.
00:04:37Your home address?
00:04:38Your home address?
00:04:41We're legally married. What's wrong with living together?
00:04:45Right. This is a deal. I can't just take the money and get nothing in return.
00:04:50I can get myself to work. And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:05:01Elisa, you're finally mine.
00:05:08Oh my god! I'm so sorry. It was raining and I didn't see you there.
00:05:11Oh, no worries. It's fine.
00:05:18Can I have your name?
00:05:19I'm Elisa.
00:05:22Yo! Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:31It's real? If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella.
00:05:34Alright, give it back.
00:05:36They want your mouth.
00:05:41You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:43It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:45Oh, shh. I'll explain it to you later.
00:05:47Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne. You are the CEO's wife. So where is my pay break?
00:05:53Come on. We've known each other since middle school.
00:05:56I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:58Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:06:03Ms. Hart is back!
00:06:19Hello, everyone. Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:23Thank you, Ms. Hart. You are so very kind.
00:06:26It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:28Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:30I have to go see Mr. Hawthorne right now. He must want to see me right now.
00:06:35Save a place for me, honey.
00:06:38When do you think they will make their relationship public?
00:06:41Probably soon. Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone.
00:06:45The code is 0903, Ms. Hart's birthday. Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:50Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne would be so romantic. He usually puts on a poker face.
00:06:54Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne.
00:06:59Please, don't tell him about me.
00:07:10Okay.
00:07:140903.
00:07:19It's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:20If they love each other so much, then it's okay.
00:07:24Whatever it is, he's just not getting his money back.
00:07:29Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:32Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:34Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should-
00:07:35Follow me.
00:07:59What should I do? Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:03I know that we did that before, but I was drunk.
00:08:10If I turn him down, will he get angry? But if I don't-
00:08:15Alyssa? You okay?
00:08:17I'm fine. Thank you for asking.
00:08:29I'm not ready.
00:08:32I was just going to turn off the light. What did you think I was going to do?
00:08:38Oh yeah, no, don't get me wrong. I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:44Alyssa, I don't want some one night stand. I want to be your everything.
00:08:50Alyssa, I don't want some one night stand. I want to be your everything.
00:09:00Matthew, why did the negotiations with the sunlight crew fail?
00:09:03It's Alyssa's fault. If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:08How is it her fault? Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:12I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne entering her hotel room the night before Alyssa skipped work.
00:09:20What? What did you say to me?
00:09:22It is absolutely true.
00:09:24Not only did she cause our failure, but she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:33Matthew, you know how important our negotiations with the sunlight crew is.
00:09:38And since it is your subordinate's fault, you know what to do.
00:09:43Right.
00:09:44Mr. Shirt, I know what to do.
00:09:52Last night, with Lucian Lane beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:09:58Last night, with Lucian Lane beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:04Alyssa, is this how you do your job? Look what trouble you brought us.
00:10:08It is because of you that we lost the project with the sunlight group. You're fired.
00:10:14Mr. Clark, I was only in charge of the initial budget, not the negotiations.
00:10:18I don't understand how this could be my fault.
00:10:20Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:24Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:28That's because something unexpected happened at home, but I called in for a leave of absence.
00:10:32So what? We needed you last minute and you weren't there.
00:10:36Now that the project has failed, if you're not to blame, who else would it be?
00:10:41I was absent that day, yes, but I prepared the initial budget ahead of time,
00:10:46so there is no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:10:50Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:10:53Alyssa, take a closer look. What did you write in the project budget?
00:11:01No, no, no, this isn't right. I wrote $50 million. How did it become $5 million?
00:11:11For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:16Alyssa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:19Looks like Alyssa is in trouble.
00:11:22Alyssa always strikes me as a professional. How could she make such an error?
00:11:26Keep it down. Can't you see? You're just trying to find someone to take responsibility.
00:11:35Wait, I have evidence to prove that my budget was correct.
00:11:41Evidence? Then why don't you show it to everyone?
00:11:44I have the dated source files on my computer that can show that I had the right numbers.
00:11:49No, no, they were right here. How could they be gone?
00:11:52Alyssa, are you joking? Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:57Alyssa?
00:11:58Are you suggesting that Mr. Clark and Ms. Hart are conspiring against you?
00:12:03You better pack up and leave now before making a bigger fool out of yourself.
00:12:07What are you saying? I've seen the budget Alyssa made. We all checked it as a team.
00:12:15Obviously, someone tampered with it.
00:12:17Are you saying that we are framing her?
00:12:19At the very least, she deserves a good reason to be fired.
00:12:23Fine. If anyone else can vouch for Alyssa, I can give her a second chance. Anyone?
00:12:32Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:34I don't remember.
00:12:35Since there's no one, Alyssa, would you like to walk yourself out or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:47This better be something important.
00:12:49Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:51So? Can't Summer handle it?
00:12:54She started it. Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:12:59Let's go.
00:13:05Amelia, it's okay. They clearly just want someone to blame for this entire thing.
00:13:09So what should we do then? Allow them to push all the blame onto you?
00:13:15Ms. Hart, Mr. Clark, I'll step down from my position, but I will never admit to mistakes that I didn't make.
00:13:22I will get down to the bottom of this.
00:13:25You're shameless. The evidence is right here. Where do you get the nerve to deny it?
00:13:30Besides the project bug, there's also surveillance footage and there are computer backend logs.
00:13:35All of these will prove that my budget was correct, and I will investigate this until the end.
00:13:41There is no need for an investigation. You have already been fired.
00:13:47Since you refuse to leave, security, track her out.
00:13:53Alisa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:13:57You'll never set foot in Hawthorne Group ever again.
00:14:04Summer? What are you doing?
00:14:10Why is he here? Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:14Who should I support? What brings you here?
00:14:18What's going on with these two? Am I fired or not? Could it be I'm just a pawn in their game?
00:14:24Care to explain what's going on?
00:14:26Well, Alisa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her.
00:14:30But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work, so Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:36Fired for what?
00:14:38Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne. The negotiations with the Hawthorne Group are over.
00:14:42You set me up with some half-baked plan. Tried to fire me and then called security.
00:14:46Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:14:48Alisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne?
00:14:53Lucian, see? She won't admit her mistakes, and she even questions your public.
00:15:01I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:15:03I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:15:05I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:15:08And she even questions your public.
00:15:12Oh God, now I'm really fired.
00:15:17Alisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne. She has to be fired now.
00:15:24I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:27Pitying her? You're an employee too. Mind your own business.
00:15:32Alisa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:35Alisa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means? Hurry up and leave.
00:15:39Of course Lucian is on Summer's side. I'm just his wife out of nowhere.
00:15:46Surely I'm no match for his lover.
00:15:54Hold on.
00:15:59Can I tell you to leave?
00:16:01You're not angry?
00:16:02Why would I be angry?
00:16:04The company needs to find out who's responsible for Sunrise Group Project first.
00:16:07Ronan, take charge of that.
00:16:09Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:16:10So what you're saying is I'm not fired. At least for now.
00:16:16Lucian, Alisa not only made mistakes on this project, but she was absent from work without permission.
00:16:21And she defied you in public.
00:16:23Summer, I'll handle company policy, okay?
00:16:26But we never, ever fire an employee for no reason.
00:16:30I... I agree with Lucian.
00:16:34Matthew, I told you to wait till the investigation was done, but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:39Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:16:42Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:44Is Lucian helping me? But as a CEO, he needs to do things fairly in front of his employees.
00:16:50This proves nothing.
00:16:52Alisa, may I have a few words with you?
00:16:55Alisa, you are damn lucky this time.
00:16:58But you won't be for the next time.
00:17:11Mr. Hawthorne, if this is about the project, then I'm so sorry that you were bothered.
00:17:15Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:19Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:21Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:23Next time something like that happens, come see me. Don't let me handle it.
00:17:28You're so busy. I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:32We're married.
00:17:36You can do whatever you want.
00:17:38We're at the office. Don't fool around.
00:17:41Fool around?
00:17:43Well, that's the proper thing, since we're married.
00:17:46Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:17:52Even while we're at work?
00:17:54That's not necessarily what I mean.
00:17:58Well, if that's all, Mr. Hawthorne, I guess I'll be going back to work.
00:18:09Alisa.
00:18:10Remember my words. Stay away from my girl.
00:18:16Alisa, when you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office...
00:18:19Amelia!
00:18:21I can't really understand the theater over here. Can you help me, please?
00:18:30Miss Hart, may I help you?
00:18:33You are still under investigation.
00:18:35Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:39But I was just looking over the project budget for the next thing.
00:18:42Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:45Can't you see the trash is full? Clean it.
00:18:49Miss Hart.
00:18:50I'm an analyst. I'm not an intern.
00:18:53What? Are you defying your superior?
00:18:56Someone is really ignorant. She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:18:59Now she's defying her superior. Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:03Right? Miss Hart is not just the daughter of a noble family.
00:19:07Miss Hart is not just the daughter of a noble family.
00:19:10She also has an unusual relationship with our president.
00:19:13It would be in your best interest to help Miss Hart with the trifle.
00:19:17Stop being ungrateful.
00:19:19Alisa, I can have you fired for defying your superior.
00:19:23So you better choose wisely.
00:19:26You're right. I like my job.
00:19:28And I'm going to become an excellent executive in my dream company.
00:19:33Fine.
00:19:35I'll do it.
00:19:37Okay.
00:19:43Better to bend than break, huh?
00:19:45It doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:52Miss Hart, your coffee.
00:19:54Hand it to me.
00:19:56Oh my god, this coffee is so hot. It almost burned me alive.
00:20:00Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:02Don't you know I only drink iced Americano? Who hired you anyway?
00:20:06I'm so sorry. I will go buy you one later.
00:20:08Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:25Who told you you could mob the floor with that?
00:20:28If you damage the floors, can you afford to pay for them?
00:20:31How exactly would you like me to mob the floor, Miss Hart?
00:20:34With a cloth on your hands and knees, inch by inch.
00:20:39I swear, don't you think you're going a little too far?
00:20:42What? Can't handle it? You could always quit.
00:20:46Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:20:51Even while we're at work?
00:20:55Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:20:59Uh-huh.
00:21:00Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:03Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:05Let's pay it a visit first.
00:21:07It's just the department. This is Hawthorne and Azzarri.
00:21:09So, we have a meeting.
00:21:11Let's pay it a visit first.
00:21:13It's just the department. This is Hawthorne and Azzarri.
00:21:15So, we have a meeting.
00:21:16He's completely in love with Azzarri.
00:21:20Miss Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:26I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
00:21:30Elise, when you were seducing Lucian when I was away, have you ever thought of today?
00:21:37I didn't seduce him.
00:21:40Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:43You dared to seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:21:48Silver, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:52Silver, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:54Lucian!
00:21:55Elise is still under investigation, right?
00:21:57She's not suitable for working on company projects, so I had her doing simpler tasks like fetching me coffee.
00:22:04But she spilled the coffee on purpose.
00:22:06That isn't true.
00:22:07It doesn't matter anyway. I don't blame her for it.
00:22:09But she insisted on wiping it up.
00:22:11I stepped on her by accident.
00:22:13I was about to apologize to her.
00:22:15Is that so?
00:22:17Elise, is that actually what happened?
00:22:19Lucian is in love with Silver.
00:22:21Even if I told the truth, would he believe me?
00:22:24Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:27Come with me to my office.
00:22:30Come!
00:22:32Why on earth did Lucian call Elisa to his office again?
00:22:37We must find out.
00:22:44Have a seat.
00:22:46Your hand's hurt.
00:22:48You need an advantage.
00:22:49It's really fine.
00:22:51I can just go home and...
00:22:52No, no, I got it all right.
00:22:54Have a seat.
00:22:59All right, let's see.
00:23:01You know, Summer is competent, but she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:06I can transfer you to another department.
00:23:08If you can't bear her, maybe mine, so we can spend more time together.
00:23:14No, no, I'm fine in the business department.
00:23:17Elisa, you're my wife.
00:23:19I don't want you to be bullied anymore.
00:23:21Stop pretending like you don't know she only does that because she's in love with you.
00:23:25Okay, last step.
00:23:29Okay.
00:23:30Just don't let this hand touch water for a little bit.
00:23:32Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:23:35It's just the two of us.
00:23:38You can call me by my name.
00:23:40When we're at work, I thought I shouldn't.
00:23:42Yeah, why shouldn't you?
00:23:43Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:23:45And why do you keep defending me?
00:23:48Do you really not know why?
00:23:50We've known each other since high school, but he's always kind of ignored me.
00:23:54Hasn't he always had a thing for Summer?
00:23:57Or could it be that everyone has been wrong all along?
00:24:06Bloody Elisa.
00:24:08You sure are good at playing naive.
00:24:10I must find a way to teach you a lesson.
00:24:15A reunion party?
00:24:17The gods are favoring me.
00:24:20Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:28Alright, it's ready.
00:24:31How many slices do you want?
00:24:33Mom, what's wrong?
00:24:34Elisa, isn't our house supposed to be auctioned off by the court to pay off our debts?
00:24:42Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:24:44Um...
00:24:46Well, I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:24:51What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:24:57Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:25:02Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about it. It's okay.
00:25:07Elisa.
00:25:08Elisa.
00:25:12Hey.
00:25:13Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:15What's up?
00:25:16There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:18They notified us in the group, but I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond.
00:25:23So I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:25Of course, it's been ages.
00:25:27Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:30Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:33Just leave it over there.
00:25:39How about we grab a drink tonight? I know a good place.
00:25:42I actually have plans tonight.
00:25:45If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:47Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:49Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:25:51Please leave.
00:25:56Hold on. Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:25:58Summer, how many ways do I have to say this?
00:26:00I'm busy. Leave.
00:26:02Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:05Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:07But ever since Elisa came, I've become colder and colder.
00:26:12Elisa, don't worry about Elisa.
00:26:19I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:23Is he going?
00:26:24Something on your mind?
00:26:26It's not a big deal, but there's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:30Are you going?
00:26:32Are you going?
00:26:34I don't know.
00:26:36I know you made a good point, but we don't really see each other that often.
00:26:39I thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:41You know what?
00:26:43I actually have a meeting.
00:26:45I think I'll pass.
00:26:47Okay. Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:49I'll send you something though, since I can't be there.
00:26:51You really don't have to do that.
00:26:53And I know it's far, so...
00:26:55Take this.
00:26:57Lucian, it's...
00:26:59That's way too expensive.
00:27:01I'm just gonna take the subway.
00:27:03I'm capable of offering you a better life.
00:27:05Why would you take the subway?
00:27:07Consider this a gift.
00:27:09Lucian is acting like he actually likes me.
00:27:13What game is he playing?
00:27:15It's mine. Take it.
00:27:19You're just giving this to me?
00:27:21Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:23Legally speaking, what's mine is yours.
00:27:27Well, thank you then.
00:27:33This is a customized version.
00:27:35It probably costs millions.
00:27:37Jesus, Elisa!
00:27:39If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:42Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:27:45You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:27:49He does treat me well, though.
00:27:51You know, all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:54I don't know.
00:27:56I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:58Maybe it's a misunderstanding or a coincidence.
00:28:02I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer.
00:28:05I don't think he's into her.
00:28:07No, that's just because he's trying to keep the down-low at work.
00:28:10Well, even if he were trying to keep it that way...
00:28:13Do you know how that saying goes?
00:28:16We can try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes can speak.
00:28:20The way he looks at Summer...
00:28:22It doesn't feel right. Do you know what I mean?
00:28:24I have absolutely no idea what you mean, because you sound crazy.
00:28:27You... I'm done.
00:28:29You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:31We have to go.
00:28:40Hello, everyone. Long time no see.
00:28:43So sorry we're late.
00:28:45So it's Elisa. What is it?
00:28:48The poor student back then is playing heiress now?
00:28:53Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:28:57Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:29:02Elisa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, weren't you?
00:29:07Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:29:09After all this year, she still speaks of poverty.
00:29:14Hey, don't say such a word.
00:29:16What if she's doing well and busy with work?
00:29:20Maybe she didn't mean to be late.
00:29:22Her? She's probably a low-level employee.
00:29:24How well could she be doing?
00:29:26What do you mean by that? Elisa and I were just...
00:29:31Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:33Although it's been years since we graduated, she's only been more gorgeous.
00:29:36Summer is both the daughter of the noble family and Mr. Hopper's childhood friend.
00:29:43That Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:45Summer, come on. Sit next to me.
00:29:47I reserve the mates.
00:29:49Thanks.
00:29:53Sorry I'm late. Traffic was terrible.
00:29:57Never mind. It's our honor to have you.
00:29:59Summer, did you buy a new sports car?
00:30:02Not really. I just picked this one out of the garage because I was in a hurry.
00:30:07I'm actually tired of driving it. I haven't used it in...
00:30:10A sports car? That's something I can never afford.
00:30:14It's not that much. It's only a few hundred thousand.
00:30:18Wow. Summer sure is rich.
00:30:21Such an expensive car, but it's not enough for her.
00:30:25Naturally. Don't you know who Summer is?
00:30:27Such a lottery card and nothing but the toy to her.
00:30:31She can have as many as she wants.
00:30:33What a bunch of snobs.
00:30:36Elisa, what car did you drive here?
00:30:41She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car?
00:30:44She must be taking the subway.
00:30:46Why does she race? That's the reason.
00:30:49Elisa, the subway will soon stop running.
00:30:52Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:30:54Oh, Summer. You're still so kind-hearted.
00:30:57But how could somebody as low as her be riding in your luxury car?
00:31:03Be careful not to get her poverty stange all over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:07What nonsense are you talking about?
00:31:09Elisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:13She drove here in a fancy new limited-edition convertible.
00:31:18Something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:21Oh my god. What a big mouth.
00:31:24What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:27Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:30Elisa, did you rent a car just to show off at the reunion?
00:31:34It's not rented.
00:31:36Not rented? Who are you trying to fool?
00:31:39You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars, even if you're selling yourself.
00:31:43Summer, is Hawthorne Group really that good?
00:31:47Even a little employee can afford such a fancy convertible?
00:31:51Hardly. Although Hawthorne Group does have good benefits, it's not to that extent.
00:31:57With her salary, she could probably never afford it, even if she worked herself to death.
00:32:03Elisa, we're all classmates here. You don't have to pretend to be rich.
00:32:08It probably costs half your salary to rent that car. It's best not to be so vain.
00:32:13What's the point of it? It's like the Cinderella. It will revert to its true form after midnight.
00:32:17Elisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:20Of course. I can never disguise to be rich.
00:32:23I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:31Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start any time.
00:32:34Alright.
00:32:36By the way, my wife is having a class reunion tomorrow. Invite her over for some fine wine.
00:32:41Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:32:43I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:48Elisa, what's the point of lying?
00:32:51First you rent a car to show off at the reunion, and now you're making up a story about a wealthy husband?
00:32:59Are you living in a novel?
00:33:01Summer, aren't you colleagues with Elisa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:07It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry.
00:33:13Although I don't think so. If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:21So, Elisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:27Amelia, I think you should stay with Elisa. She got a bad influence on you.
00:33:36And what do you know? Elisa's husband.
00:33:40Okay, okay, you guys keep partying. Amelia, let's go.
00:33:49Excuse me, these are the lines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:33:53Oh, 1982 Lafite? But we didn't order these wines.
00:34:02I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:34:04The wine is for me, right? He did say he would send something over. This is too much.
00:34:10Summer, this wine must be a special gift from Mr. Hawthorne for you.
00:34:14Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention from Mr. Hawthorne is Summer. Who else could it be?
00:34:21This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:23Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match in school and now they are still so affectionate.
00:34:29I wonder if they are going to get married soon.
00:34:31Of course, Summer is future president's wife. Unlike someone.
00:34:37Oh Elisa, you see, you can never shake my bond with Lucian.
00:34:42Alright everyone, since Lucian sent over these wines, let's enjoy them together.
00:34:47But Summer, this is 1982 Lafite. I think some people here are not worthy of drinking such fine wine.
00:34:56They say cast your pearls before swine. Even if we let Elisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good Lafite is.
00:35:02That's true. To her it would be a waste.
00:35:05You're all wrong. This wine is for me.
00:35:10This wine is for me.
00:35:12Did I hear that right? You said that this wine was given to you by Mr. Hawthorne?
00:35:17It's hilarious. Do you think you're Mrs. Hawthorne?
00:35:20Mrs. Hawthorne is Summer.
00:35:23Are you daydreaming Elisa? Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:29Elisa, are you jealous of me? Not only jealous of my family background and my job.
00:35:35Now you're jealous of my relationship with Lucian and want to claim the wines that are given to me.
00:35:40Don't you know that even if you try your hardest, what's not meant for you will never, never be yours.
00:35:48Oh Summer, don't ruin your mood over such a rat in the gutter. She's just a clown.
00:35:53How can you be so confident that the wine is for Summer?
00:35:57When Summer and Mr. Hawthorne started dating, Elisa was somewhere picking up trash.
00:36:03All you ever do is talk. Why the hell would I lie about something like this?
00:36:07Who knows? After all, you don't understand how the poor thinks.
00:36:10Hey waiter, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give these wines to?
00:36:16Yeah, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give these wines to?
00:36:20So that Summer can start daydreaming.
00:36:23These wines were given to Mrs. Elizabeth by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:31What? This wine is from Lucian to Elisa?
00:36:35There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:37How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Elisa?
00:36:41Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucian to Elisa.
00:36:46How could this be?
00:36:48What makes Elisa so special that Lucian would treat her like this?
00:36:53Why are you all so silent now?
00:36:55You were so talkative and confident before.
00:36:58Is it because you're a pharisee?
00:37:01Okay, Amelia. Like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:37:04Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch.
00:37:08Could it be...
00:37:09Wait. What now, Rovinia?
00:37:12Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:16After being exposed about the car keys,
00:37:19you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us.
00:37:23Oh my god. Rovinia, you really are imaginative.
00:37:26You should become a screenwriter. You've really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:29What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth
00:37:33and here I am stating the facts? How is that imagination?
00:37:38Rovinia, I think you've got a point.
00:37:41After all, lady people are always so desperate for attention.
00:37:48Right.
00:37:51Summer makes a valid point.
00:37:53Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:37:56How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:58Go home and page your actors.
00:38:02Elisa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:05If we hadn't gone to the same high school together,
00:38:08you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us,
00:38:11having a meal, let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:15You all have gone too far.
00:38:17This is supposed to be a class reunion party
00:38:20and you're all targeting Elisa. What are you trying to do?
00:38:23What are we trying to do?
00:38:26She needs to know her place
00:38:28instead of deceiving us with lies again and again.
00:38:31How dare she do it and not admit it.
00:38:34Yes, Summer, as the saying goes,
00:38:36ugly people make more trouble,
00:38:38but poor people make even more trouble.
00:38:42I couldn't care less what you think of me,
00:38:44but I didn't hire actors for this.
00:38:47We are all regular employees of the hotel.
00:38:50We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:38:52You must have misunderstood.
00:38:54I'm sorry.
00:39:01Misunderstood?
00:39:03Elisa, you really are hopeless.
00:39:06You found some actors and got two bottles of fake wine
00:39:10thinking you could show off at the reunion party?
00:39:14This cheap wine is only good for making noise when it shatters.
00:39:20With this order from President Hawthorne,
00:39:23I don't have to worry about my performance
00:39:26for the rest of the month.
00:39:28I think I'm going to make Ms. Fair
00:39:30a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:35Hello?
00:39:36Hello?
00:39:37Hello?
00:39:38Hello?
00:39:39Hello?
00:39:40Hello?
00:39:42Hello?
00:39:43Oh, good, Mr. Carlos.
00:39:45Ms. Bell is in trouble.
00:39:47What?
00:39:48I'm coming over.
00:39:49Damaging someone else's property?
00:39:51Lavinia, you have never been one to consider
00:39:53the consequences of doing whatever Summer tells you to do.
00:39:56How much can a fake bottle of wine be worth?
00:39:59I'll pay her, and I'll pay for the remaining wine,
00:40:02and I'll just buy them all
00:40:04so that she can smash them for fun.
00:40:06You're disgusting.
00:40:08We're ashamed to have you as a classmate.
00:40:11You don't deserve to be at our party.
00:40:13Security!
00:40:14Where's the security?
00:40:15How may I assist you?
00:40:16Well, we don't know who this woman is,
00:40:18and I don't know how she got in here,
00:40:20and I want her out of here.
00:40:22Well, this is Summer Hart,
00:40:25fiancé of the President of Hawthorne School.
00:40:29And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:32I see.
00:40:33What are you doing?
00:40:36What is going on here?
00:40:39Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:46Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:56Yes, I did.
00:40:59Yes, I did.
00:41:01In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:41:07That can't be possible.
00:41:09Her family went bankrupt years ago.
00:41:12She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:14Let me correct myself.
00:41:16Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest,
00:41:20not only is she our VVVIP customer,
00:41:24but the wine was arranged to be sent by President Hawthorne to her.
00:41:29Does my word count?
00:41:31Does it have any weight around here?
00:41:33Mr. Carlos, there must be some mistake.
00:41:36Well, the wine was personally arranged
00:41:39by President Hawthorne's personal assistant, Ronan.
00:41:43How could there possibly be a mistake?
00:41:47Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:41:51How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:41:55You said that you would pay me back tenfold.
00:41:57Forget the tenfold, just pay me the original price.
00:42:02Is Lucian going to be angry with me for this?
00:42:05Whatever, let's just enjoy this moment.
00:42:07What's going on? Did President Hawthorne really send the wine to Elisa?
00:42:11I have no idea.
00:42:13Maybe Summer is just lying
00:42:15and she's being pretentious about Mr. Hawthorne.
00:42:18So, Summer, what's the best way for you to pay me back for this?
00:42:24You should have seen the look on Summer's face
00:42:27when she tried to swipe her card. It was hilarious.
00:42:30Oh my gosh, today we finally showed her who's boss.
00:42:34I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucian's dream girl.
00:42:38When he finds out I, the placeholder wife, am totally getting the...
00:42:42Legally, you are Mr. Hawthorne's wife.
00:42:45You are literally the President's wife.
00:42:47You have the high ground, what are you so afraid of?
00:42:50Come on, let's go drink and celebrate.
00:42:52You actually want to drink right now?
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:55No.
00:42:56Yes.
00:42:57No.
00:42:58You're not getting my card.
00:43:05Amelia, be honest with me, okay?
00:43:08What is it?
00:43:09I don't understand why Lucian wanted to marry me.
00:43:12I don't know, it's just...
00:43:14I'm starting to feel like maybe he...
00:43:17Like...
00:43:19Is he actually someone you...
00:43:20Hey, Lisa, I have something I have to attend to,
00:43:23so I'm going to be leaving now.
00:43:25What? Wait, no.
00:43:27Are you gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:34Are you real?
00:43:36Or am I dreaming?
00:43:37Well, no, you're not dreaming. I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:40Big gossip.
00:43:42No.
00:43:43I don't want to go home. I want to drink more.
00:43:46Lisa, you've had too much.
00:43:48You're going to have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:50Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:43:53Come on.
00:43:54I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:43:59Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:44:04Come on.
00:44:06Ready?
00:44:07Three, two, one.
00:44:09Okay, here we go.
00:44:16Mr. Hawthorne, can you hear me? Here I am.
00:44:18Working overtime in the middle of the night.
00:44:20Driving at this speed.
00:44:22I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:44:24Lisa, why did you marry me?
00:44:29Lisa, why did you marry me?
00:44:31Actually, I've been in love with you for ten years.
00:44:34Ever since I first saw you.
00:44:38Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe.
00:44:42And my father was also.
00:44:46You shouldn't let your father rest in peace.
00:44:52You're all I've got now.
00:44:58Anyway, I didn't dare to show you even a sliver of my feelings for you.
00:45:03But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:45:06Could you give me a chance?
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:12Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:17I'm sorry.
00:45:20Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed.
00:45:23She's the worst!
00:45:25I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:31Oh?
00:45:32What is it?
00:45:35What is it?
00:45:36Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:45:39If we tell her about Elisa seducing Mr. Hawthorne, then...
00:45:45Good idea.
00:45:46Mia is the matriarch of the Hawthorne family.
00:45:50She's very clever.
00:45:52But she never got involved in the family business and she's lived in seclusion abroad for years.
00:45:58Even I haven't spoken to her.
00:46:00All we need to do is send an anonymous text message to Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:46:06Then we just need to wait for Elisa to be expelled from the Hawthorne family.
00:46:16I went through great lengths to get this, but I never contacted her because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:22Do it for me.
00:46:24When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:31It's my pleasure to help you, Ms. Hart.
00:46:34I just hope that when you become the president's wife, you won't forget me.
00:46:41Of course not.
00:46:46Meet your Hawthorne.
00:46:48You received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:46:51What does it say?
00:46:52It says there's a vixen in her home, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:46:55She torments him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:47:04Book me a flight. I need to go back immediately.
00:47:10God.
00:47:16I'm sorry.
00:47:30You're late again today.
00:47:31Ow!
00:47:33I'm so sorry.
00:47:35I'm so sorry.
00:47:36You need to pay for this.
00:47:38It was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:42I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:44leave me? Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation. Having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:50But how did I? Okay, here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:56Yeah, well are you gonna help me up?
00:48:00Are you okay? No, I am not okay. My leg really hurts. I don't think I'm gonna be able to walk.
00:48:05You need to take responsibility for this. How can a young girl be so bad? She hit somebody.
00:48:11Because I want to take responsibility. She looks good, but she's ugly on the inside.
00:48:16No, no, no, the truth is... Never mind. Okay, uh, ma'am, do you have your family's
00:48:22contact information? I can help you reach out to them. Family? Who are my family?
00:48:31I don't remember. You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:42Uh, I don't remember anything. What do I do? You don't remember where you live? I don't remember
00:48:49anything. Okay, what do I do? How about I take you to the hospital and then to a police station?
00:48:57No, no, no, no, no, I'm not going to a hospital or a police station. I don't trust anybody. Oh,
00:49:03no, I'm going to be late, but there's the weekly department meeting today. I can't take leave.
00:49:08Okay, uh, ma'am, since you're not going anywhere, how about I take you to my company office? And
00:49:15then after work, I'll help you find your family. Fine. I guess you need to take responsibility
00:49:20for this. You cannot leave my side. Okay, okay. Oh, oh, oh, ouch. What? My mom's returned home?
00:49:29Yes, Mr. Hoffman. According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant, Matriarch Robinson received
00:49:33an anonymous text message about you and rushed back into the country. What was the text?
00:49:38It said, Mr. Hoffman, you've been enchanted by seductress. She's always had a temper. Okay. I'm
00:49:44going to attend the business meeting personally. Are you afraid the Matriarch Robinson will
00:49:47suddenly come to our company? I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist,
00:49:52she'll probably be there. All right, Mr. Hoffman, I'll arrange it right away.
00:49:58Mom, please don't scare off the wife I finally got.
00:50:03How did the matter about Matriarch Robinson go?
00:50:06Rest assured, Ms. Hart, it said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news and
00:50:15returned home immediately. Really? Then Elisa will be out of here soon. Yes. Congratulations
00:50:24in advance, Ms. Hart. Let's go. There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:50:29and Lucian will be there personally. We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:50:34Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip, so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:42If, if you get bored, you can just put it on my phone. Okay. And we have to keep our voices
00:50:47down because people are working. Okay. I just want to know if I can say this. Everyone,
00:50:51the weekly meeting is about to begin. Elisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work? Elisa really
00:50:57treats the company as her home, bringing in anyone she likes. Seriously? So filthy. It's
00:51:03disgusting. Just looking at them. Elisa, our entire department is filled up with work and you,
00:51:15if we have to delay our work, are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:51:19Ms. Hart, this woman might have some trouble with her memory, so I'm only bringing her here
00:51:23temporarily. I was going to help her find her family after work, and if she could just sit here
00:51:28for the time being, I promise that she won't disturb anybody. You mean you brought this old
00:51:32hag in off the street and she's also sick? I think you're crazy. Picking up an old hag like this,
00:51:40wreaking of poverty, stinking up the whole office. Where did you find her? In a sewer?
00:51:45What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill, but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:51Yeah, Ms. Hart, I really think we should call a cleaner later to disinfect everywhere this
00:51:55lady's been. How could all of you be so cruel? Don't you all have families too? What if one of
00:52:01them had lost their memory and needed your help? This girl, she's interesting. I'm not the one who's
00:52:07sick. You're sick. Disgusting. Elisa, our company has rules and regulations. It's not a place for
00:52:16you to show your kindness. Get this old hag out of here now. Get this old hag out of here now. Ms.
00:52:26Hart, there is nothing in our company policy that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:52:30In fact, it encourages us to do so. Oh, there isn't? Well, now there is.
00:52:37Do you have a problem? Ms. Hart is a senior leader in our company. She can represent our
00:52:41president, and now she just happened to add another company rule. Even if she asks security
00:52:46to drag you out, there's nothing you can do. Understand? How come the employees of the business
00:52:53department are like this? Lucian will be here soon from the business department. Elisa, you have two
00:52:59minutes. If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you. You can go beg on the street with
00:53:05her. Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now. Summer, you are really pushing it. Tell me,
00:53:12what else can you do besides flaunt your authority? I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:53:18As a low-level employee, you have contradicted me one too many times,
00:53:22and now you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne? You're fired.
00:53:28Two years. Two years away from this company, and I never thought that the business department at
00:53:33the Hawthorne Group would decay into this state. Elisa will not be fired. You will.
00:53:44You will. Matthew, did I just hear this old hag say she's gonna fire us? She has a problem with
00:53:51her brain, that's why she's talking crazy. It's hard to tell our president's wife to be firing
00:53:58her. Too ridiculous. Besides memory loss, is she also crazy? Why are they saying president's wife?
00:54:07Isn't it you? Are all of you quite finished? I can't believe how shallow you are. You are kind
00:54:13and righteous. You never use Lucian's identity to gain power, but you? Okay, ma'am, it's okay. I'm
00:54:20going to help you find your family. Let's go. Why do we need to leave? Why don't they leave first?
00:54:25Fine, since you're determined to cling to us. Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now.
00:54:39You've got guts. I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:44You actually dared to hit me, Ms. Hart? Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate. I could have
00:54:51her sent to a mental hospital. You don't have the authority. Of course I do. She hit my subordinate.
00:54:57I can reasonably deduce she has some mental issues. How many times do I have to tell you? Yes, this
00:55:01woman is clearly sick, but naturally I'm going to find her family to let them handle it.
00:55:05If you and Matthew haven't instigated this, none of this would have happened. This woman's actions
00:55:10can only be described as self-defense. Yeah, I think you're the one who's crazy. You don't
00:55:14respect the elderly. You're not qualified to be a leader. I don't know why your company's
00:55:18higher-ups even chose you. Oh, are you angry?
00:55:28I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:55:36Oh, Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight. Security, throw both of them out of Hawthorne group.
00:55:46With me here, I can't drive you away. I tell you, I am. Summer, what are you doing?
00:55:55Summer, what are you doing?
00:55:58Oh my god, why does Lucian come to the business department every day?
00:56:02Fine, I guess we'll have another showdown. Explain. Well, it's like this. Elisa brought
00:56:08this woman in off the street who smells terrible and insisted on having her in the office, which
00:56:13was disrupting everyone's work, so I'm only thinking of the company. Yes, Mr. Hawthorne,
00:56:18what if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone? I take full responsibility
00:56:23for this incident. If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation. Hawthorne group is not an
00:56:30impersonal company. Elisa's done well. From today forward, you'll be promoted to team leader
00:56:38and oversee projects as a report. Mr. Hawthorne, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:45I believe everyone here knows your abilities well. As for you, you can go to HR and they'll
00:56:52handle your resignation. He is the backbone of the business department. If you fire him,
00:56:59there'll be no elites left. Summer, you managed the business department into a mess.
00:57:03You're responsible for that. I promise to manage the business department better.
00:57:07This won't happen again. Matthew, why have you not apologized to this madame and miss Vail yet?
00:57:16Matthew, why have you not apologized to this madame and miss Vail yet?
00:57:21I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Why are you apologizing first? This one almost just put
00:57:29me into a mental hospital. You old hag. How dare you ask me to apologize? Miss Art, apologize.
00:57:40Sorry. I'm sorry. I can't hear you.
00:57:43I was wrong. I'm sorry. And you guys?
00:57:52I'm sorry. Sorry.
00:57:56Have I been misunderstanding him all this time? Could it be?
00:58:00Well, that's the end of that matter. I'll take care of this lady and help her find her family.
00:58:08Lucian, why did you call me over? What if Elisa finds out?
00:58:11Mom, what exactly are you trying to do? I want to test my daughter-in-law.
00:58:17Haven't you tested her enough today? She's great. You saw that.
00:58:25Oh, Lucian. You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:58:29Oh, Lucian. You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:58:36That's enough. Fine.
00:58:40Look, Elisa is a very good girl, but it seems she doesn't even know that you like her,
00:58:47nor does anyone else know that she's your wife. Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:55I don't know how to tell her. I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public,
00:58:59pressure will be too much for her. Lucian, when did you become such a coward?
00:59:05Look, if you like her, just confess boldly. You don't want to wait till Elisa falls for
00:59:11some other guy before you feel regret, do you? Regret what?
00:59:19Nothing. Please, come sit.
00:59:21Elisa, I'm sorry I deceptive earlier. I'm actually Lucian's mother.
00:59:35What?
00:59:38Please, let me explain. A few days ago, I got an anonymous text saying that some
00:59:44woman was trying to seduce Lucian, and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:51Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:57Yes, Mrs. Hoffman, I understand you're just looking out for your son,
01:00:01but I am concerned that the person who sent that text must have had bad intentions.
01:00:05I have an idea of your subject. Go ahead.
01:00:07Good. And Elisa, I heard that Lucian plans on taking you to a very fancy dinner tonight.
01:00:15Okay. There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
01:00:21Lucian, why aren't you eating?
01:00:33Yeah, of course.
01:00:39Elisa, what do you want to ask me? If you want a divorce, it's not going to happen.
01:00:44Why would you think I want a divorce?
01:00:51Okay. I've been meaning to ask you. You've liked Summer for 10 years.
01:00:59I mean, why would you marry me? Why protect me at every turn?
01:01:03Hold on. You think I've liked Summer for 10 years?
01:01:07Judging by his reaction, he must have been caught off guard.
01:01:11Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:01:14Seriously, why would I have liked her for 10 years?
01:01:17Elisa, I've liked you for 10 years.
01:01:21What? How could that possibly be?
01:01:25The first day we met, I fell for you.
01:01:28But because of the conflict between our parents, I chose to give up.
01:01:36I wanted to show you that I cared for you, but I couldn't.
01:01:38I was afraid that it would put you in danger.
01:01:42I'm really sorry, Elisa. All these years, I've suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:49I fought tooth and nail to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:54And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:01:59So why now?
01:02:03And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:02:08So why now?
01:02:09I was afraid if I told you you didn't like me, we wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:02:16So what's wrong?
01:02:17So when you sat next to me all those years ago, it wasn't because you didn't like your food?
01:02:24Hey, I don't really like this.
01:02:35Yeah, I'm really sorry I couldn't show you my feelings in the proper way.
01:02:41But then, why did you write Summer that love letter back then?
01:02:47What love letter? I only remember delivering a party invitation to her from my parents.
01:02:54Well, why are all your passwords Summer's birthday?
01:02:57You mean 0903? What does that have to do with Summer? I don't even know her birthday.
01:03:03So then what's 0903 to you?
01:03:05Elisa, 0903, September 3rd. It's the day we first met.
01:03:11So it was, it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:03:16So it was, it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:03:19Listen, I love you.
01:03:23I know I tricked you into marrying me.
01:03:26Feelings for you are absolutely true.
01:03:29So, can you try to accept me?
01:03:33I know that our marriage started as a contract, but it feels real to me now.
01:03:38I love you. I want to be with you now, and I want to be with you no matter what we're doing.
01:03:48I love you.
01:03:58You're finally mine.
01:04:02You're mine.
01:04:08You're mine.
01:04:13Hey, from now on, we're true husband and wife.
01:04:17We don't have to keep our relationship secret in front of our colleagues anymore.
01:04:19Okay.
01:04:25Lucian, I...
01:04:27Elise, you...
01:04:28Summer, I'd like you to meet my wife.
01:04:31What?
01:04:32Elisa and I have actually been married for a long time,
01:04:35so you don't have to send those pervasive text messages to my mom anymore.
01:04:38We all like Elisa.
01:04:40So no matter how much you try to sow discord between us, it's never going to work.
01:04:44What text messages? I...
01:04:46I have the evidence, Summer.
01:04:50Now, considering the relationship between our families,
01:04:53I'm going to ask you to go ahead and submit your resignation from your team.
01:04:57As for everyone else, you all get off an hour early today.
01:05:02And you're invited to dinner with my wife.
01:05:06Yay!
01:05:08Yay!
