00:00:00I, Alisa, a nobody in the workplace, single since birth for 23 years.
00:00:12Never even held a 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 it 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 hungry.
00:01:06I'm sorry.
00:01:09What are you doing?
00:01:24Alisa?
00:01:25Hey, Mom.
00:01:26Please come home as soon as possible.
00:01:27I just received an order from the court.
00:01:28Since we are unable to repay the huge debt your father owed, our house will be auctioned
00:01:29off to pay off the debt.
00:01:30We must move out of the house now.
00:01:31Don't worry.
00:01:32I'm going to be right there.
00:01:33Alisa?
00:01:34Alisa?
00:01:35Alisa?
00:01:36Alisa?
00:01:37Alisa?
00:01:38Alisa?
00:01:39Alisa?
00:01:40Alisa?
00:01:41Alisa?
00:01:42Alisa?
00:01:43Alisa?
00:01:44Alisa?
00:01:45Alisa?
00:01:46Alisa?
00:01:47Alisa?
00:01:48Alisa?
00:01:49Alisa?
00:01:50Alisa?
00:01:51Alisa?
00:01:53Don't worry.
00:01:54I'm going to be right there.
00:02:02Oh my God.
00:02:03Mom, are you okay?
00:02:06I'm fine, honey.
00:02:10I'm so sorry I couldn't save the house.
00:02:14Don't worry.
00:02:15As long as we're together, we'll get through this difficult time.
00:02:19I'm sorry.
00:02:22Is there anything else in there?
00:02:25No.
00:02:26This is it.
00:02:27One second.
00:02:28Okay, I'll be right back.
00:02:29Hello?
00:02:30Elisa, where are you?
00:02:31Don't you remember?
00:02:32We were supposed to meet in the conference room at nine.
00:02:33Manager Smith got crazy looking for you.
00:02:34I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home, and if you could please just tell
00:02:35management that...
00:02:36Hello?
00:02:37No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:02:38no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:02:40Where am I going to find a million dollars?
00:02:43Elisa?
00:02:44Why are you crying?
00:02:45Um.
00:02:46No, I'm not exhausted.
00:03:09Mr. Hawthorne, what are you doing here?
00:03:14Well, I'm actually here for you.
00:03:16What?
00:03:17I need a marriage partner.
00:03:19Again, what?
00:03:21I need you to be my wife.
00:03:23Give 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...
00:03:34I 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.
00:03:47If you agree, we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:03:59Why do you want to help me?
00:04:01I 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.
00:04:19Mr. Hawthorne, thank you so much for helping me.
00:04:22I promise I will pay you back every cent as soon as I can.
00:04:26You don't pay me back more than happy.
00:04:30I'm going to get back to work then.
00:04:32Ronan will actually take you back.
00:04:35And I'll give you my home address so you can move in tonight.
00:04:38Your home address?
00:04:41We're legally married.
00:04:43It's our only living together.
00:04:45Right.
00:04:46This is a deal.
00:04:47I can't just take the money and give nothing in return.
00:04:50I can get myself to work.
00:04:52And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:05:01Elisa, you're finally mine.
00:05:08Oh my God.
00:05:09I'm so sorry.
00:05:10It was raining and I didn't see you there.
00:05:12No, no worries.
00:05:13It's fine.
00:05:18Can I have your name?
00:05:19I'm Elisa.
00:05:22Yo.
00:05:23Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:31It's real?
00:05:32If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella.
00:05:34All right, I give it back.
00:05:36You watch your mouth.
00:05:41You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:44It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:46Shh.
00:05:48Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne.
00:05:50You are the CEO's wife, so where is my pay break?
00:05:54Come on.
00:05:55We've known each other since middle school.
00:05:57I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:59Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:06:04Miss Hart is back.
00:06:18Hello, everyone.
00:06:20Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:23Thank you, Miss Hart.
00:06:25You 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.
00:06:33He must want to see me right now.
00:06:35Save a slice for me, honey.
00:06:37When do you think they will make their relationship public?
00:06:41Probably soon.
00:06:42Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone,
00:06:45the code is 0903, Miss Hart's birthday.
00:06:48Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:50Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne would be so romantic.
00:06:52He usually puts on a poker face.
00:06:54Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne...
00:06:59Please, don't talk about it.
00:07:10Okay.
00:07:11And...
00:07:140903.
00:07:19It's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:20If they love each other so much, then...
00:07:24It's okay, whatever it is.
00:07:25He's just not getting his money back.
00:07:36Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:39Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:41Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should...
00:07:42Hold it.
00:08:03What should I do?
00:08:04Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:07I know that we did that before, but...
00:08:09I was drunk.
00:08:14If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:08:16But...
00:08:17If I don't...
00:08:19Lisa?
00:08:20You okay?
00:08:21I'm fine.
00:08:22Thank you for asking.
00:08:35Christian, I'm...
00:08:36I'm not ready.
00:08:37I'm not ready.
00:08:38I was...
00:08:39Just gonna turn off the light.
00:08:42What did you think I was gonna do?
00:08:44Oh, yeah, no...
00:08:46Don't get me wrong, I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:50Elisa...
00:08:51I don't want someone like Stan.
00:08:54I wanna be your everything.
00:09:00Matthew!
00:09:01Why did the negotiations with the sunlight crew fail?
00:09:03It's Elisa's fault.
00:09:05If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:08How is it her fault?
00:09:09Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:12I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne entering her hotel room the night before Elisa skipped work.
00:09:20What?
00:09:21What 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 awake.
00:09:36Matthew...
00:09:37You know how important our negotiations with the sunlight crew is.
00:09:41And since it is your subordinate's fault, you know what to do.
00:09:46All right.
00:09:48Mr. Shirt, I know what to do.
00:09:56Last night, with Lucian laying beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:02Elisa is sleeping.
00:10:04Elisa, is this how you do your job?
00:10:07Look what trouble you brought us.
00:10:09It is because of you that we lost the project with the sunlight crew.
00:10:12You'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?
00:10:25Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:29That'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.
00:10:51Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:10:53Elisa, take a closer look.
00:10:55What did you write in the project budget?
00:10:57No, no, no, this isn't right.
00:10:59I wrote 50 million.
00:11:01How did it become 50 million?
00:11:09For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:13Elisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:16Looks like Elisa is in trouble.
00:11:19Elisa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:21How could she make such an error?
00:11:23Elisa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:25How could she make such an error?
00:11:27Keep it down. Can't you see?
00:11:29You'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?
00:11:52Elisa, are you joking? Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:57Elisa, are 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 Elisa made.
00:12:10We 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 Elisa, I can give her a second chance.
00:12:28Anyone?
00:12:32Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:34I don't remember.
00:12:39Since there's no one, Elisa, would you like to walk yourself out or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:50This better be something important.
00:12:52Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:55So? Can't Summer handle it?
00:12:57She started it. Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:13:03Let'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?
00:13:14Ms. Hart, Mr. Clark.
00:13:17I'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.
00:13:24You're shameless. The evidence is right here.
00:13:27Where do you get the nerve to deny it?
00:13:29Besides the project book, there's also surveillance footage and their computer backend logs.
00:13:34All of these will prove that my budget was correct, and I will investigate this until the end.
00:13:39There is no need for an investigation.
00:13:42You have already been fired.
00:13:46Since you refuse to leave, security, drag her out.
00:13:57Elisa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:14:01You'll never set foot in Hawthorne Group ever again.
00:14:10Summer? What are you doing?
00:14:16Why is he here? Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:20Who's Summer? What brings you here?
00:14:23Let her go.
00:14:26What's going on with these two? Am I fired or not? Could it be I'm just a pawn in their game?
00:14:32Care to explain what's going on?
00:14:34Well, Elisa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her.
00:14:38But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work.
00:14:41So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:44Fired for what?
00:14:45Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:14:47The negotiations with the Sunlight Group failed due to Elisa's mistake.
00:14:51We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:14:53You set me up with some half-baked plan, tried to fire me, and then called security.
00:14:58Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:15:01Elisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne?
00:15:05Lucius, see? She wouldn't make her mistakes, and she even questions your public.
00:15:12Oh God, now I'm really fired.
00:15:16Elisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne. She has to be fired now.
00:15:24I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:26Pitying her? You're an employee too. Mind your own business.
00:15:32Elisa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:35Elisa, 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.
00:15:59Did I tell you to leave?
00:16:00You'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, Elisa 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.
00:16:52Elisa, may I have a few words with you?
00:16:55Elisa, 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.
00:18:09Elisa.
00:18:10Remember my words. Stay away from that girl.
00:18:16Elisa.
00:18:19Elisa, when you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office...
00:18:21Amelia!
00:18:23I can't really understand the theater over here. Can you help me, please?
00:18:32Ms. Hart?
00:18:34May I help you?
00:18:35You are still under investigation.
00:18:37Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:41But I was just looking over the project budget for the next thing.
00:18:44Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:47Can't you see the trash is full? Clean it.
00:18:51Ms. Hart.
00:18:53I'm an analyst. I'm not an intern.
00:18:55What? Are you defying your superior?
00:18:58Someone is really ignorant. She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:19:02Now she's defying her superior. Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:06Right? Ms. 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 Ms. Hart with the trifle.
00:19:17Stop being ungrateful.
00:19:19Elisa, 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.
00:19:43Better to bend than break, huh?
00:19:45It doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:51Ms. Hart, your coffee.
00:19:53Hand it to me.
00:20:03Oh my god, this coffee is so hot. It almost burned me alive.
00:20:07Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:09Don't you know I only drink iced Americano? Who hired you anyway?
00:20:13I'm so sorry. I will go buy you one later.
00:20:15Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:25Who told you you could mop 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 mop the floor, Ms. 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.
00:20:51Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:20:56Even while we're at work?
00:20:59Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:21:04Uh-huh.
00:21:05Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:08Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:10Let's pay it a visit first.
00:21:12He was just at work, Mrs. Hawthorne, and he's already so eager to see her.
00:21:15He's completely in love with her.
00:21:20Ms. Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:23Ah!
00:21:25Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
00:21:29Elise, when you were seducing Lucian when I was away, have you ever thought of today?
00:21:36I didn't seduce him.
00:21:38You didn't? Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:43If you wanted to seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:21:47Scylla, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:52Scylla, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:54Lucian!
00:21:55Elise, are you all right?
00:21:56Elise is still under investigation, right?
00:21:58She'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 Scylla.
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?
00:22:37I must find out.
00:22:44Have a seat.
00:22:46Your hand's hurt. You need an advantage.
00:22:49It's... it'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.
00:23:04But she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:07I can transfer you to another department.
00:23:09If you can't bear her, maybe mine.
00:23:12So 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 moment.
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.
00:24:11I 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...
00:24:47Well, I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:24:52What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:24:58Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:25:03Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about it.
00:25:07It's okay.
00:25:08Elisa.
00:25:10Hey.
00:25:11Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:13What's up?
00:25:14There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:16They notified us in the group, but I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond,
00:25:21so I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:23But it's been ages.
00:25:25Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:28Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:31Just leave it over there.
00:25:40How about we grab a drink tonight?
00:25:42I know a good place.
00:25:44I actually have plans tonight.
00:25:46If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:48Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:50Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:25:52Please leave.
00:25:57Hold on.
00:25:58Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:26:00Summer, how many ways do I have to say this?
00:26:02I'm busy.
00:26:03Leave.
00:26:04Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:07But ever since Elisa came,
00:26:09I've become colder and colder.
00:26:12Elisa,
00:26:13I think I might realize something.
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...
00:26:28There's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:30Are you going?
00:26:32Are you going?
00:26:33I don't know.
00:26:35I know you made a good point,
00:26:37but we don't really see each other that often.
00:26:39I thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:41Oh, you know what?
00:26:43I actually have a meeting.
00:26:45I think I'll pass.
00:26:46Okay.
00:26:47Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:48I'll send you some of those 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...
00:26:58That's way too expensive.
00:27:00I'm just gonna take the subway.
00:27:02Elisa,
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.
00:27:16Take it.
00:27:19You're just giving this to me?
00:27:21Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:23Legally speaking, it's mine. It's yours.
00:27:27Thank you, then.
00:27:33This is a customized version.
00:27:35It should probably cost millions.
00:27:37Jesus, Elisa!
00:27:38If 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.
00:27:48He does treat me well, though.
00:27:50You know, all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:54I don't know.
00:27:55I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:57Maybe it's, um...
00:27:59a 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.
00:28:06No, 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?
00:28:15We can try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes can speak.
00:28:20The way he looks at Summer, it doesn't feel right.
00:28:23Do you know what I mean?
00:28:24I have absolutely no idea what you mean, because you sound crazy.
00:28:27You...
00:28:28I'm done. You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:30Well, we're late. We have to go.
00:28:31Okay.
00:28:40Hello, everyone!
00:28:41Long time no see.
00:28:43So sorry we're late.
00:28:44So, it's Elisa.
00:28:46What is it?
00:28:47The poor student back then is doing airs now?
00:28:53Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:28:56Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:29:00Elisa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, weren't you?
00:29:05Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:29:07After all this year, she still speaks of poverty.
00:29:12Hey, don't say such a word.
00:29:14What if she's doing well and busy with work?
00:29:18Maybe she didn't mean to be late.
00:29:20Her? She's probably a low-level employee.
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?
00:29:27Elisa and I, we 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. Harper's childhood friend.
00:29:43Yes, Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:45Summer, come on. Sit next to me.
00:29:47I reserve the next.
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...
00:30:11A 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 to insure.
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, which is not much.
00:30:36Elisa, what car did you drive here?
00:30:42She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car?
00:30:44She must be taking the subway.
00:30:46What, did she race? That's the reason?
00:30:49Elisa, the subway will soon stop running. Do 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 power disengel 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.
00:32:11It'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 being 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.
00:32:34All right.
00:32:35Oh, hey, by the way, my wife is having a class reunion tomorrow. Invite someone over for some fine wine.
00:32:40We'll have some fun.
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.
00:33:15If 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.
00:34:01I'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.
00:34:13Yeah, 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 since 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 the 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.
00:35:38I want him to drink 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 things...
00:36:10Hey, waiter. Tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:17Yeah, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:20So that Summer can start daydreaming.
00:36:23These wines were given to Mrs. Elizabeth by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:30What? This wine is from Lucian to Elisa?
00:36:34There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:36How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send a wine to Elisa?
00:36:39Yes, this is indeed the wine that was sent from Lucian to Isabelle.
00:36:45How could this be? What makes Elisa so special that Lucian would treat her like this?
00:36:51Why are you all so silent now? You were so talkative and confident before.
00:36:57Is it because you're embarrassed?
00:36:59Amelia, like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:37:02Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch. Could it be...
00:37:07Wait. What now, Rovinia?
00:37:10Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:14After being exposed about the car keys, you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us.
00:37:21Oh my god. Rovinia, you really are imaginative.
00:37:24You should become a screenwriter. You've really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:27What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth and here I am stating the facts?
00:37:33How is that imagination?
00:37:35Rovinia, I think you've got a point.
00:37:38After all, lowly people are always so desperate for attention, right?
00:37:47Summer makes a valid point. Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:37:51How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:53Go home and page your actors.
00:37:57Elisa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:00If we hadn't gone to the same high school together,
00:38:03you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us, having a meal,
00:38:07let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:11You all have gone too far.
00:38:13This is supposed to be a class reunion party and you're all targeting Elisa.
00:38:17What are you trying to do?
00:38:19What are we trying to do?
00:38:21She needs to know her place.
00:38:23Instead of deceiving us with lies again and again.
00:38:26How dare she do it and not admit it.
00:38:29Yes. Summer, as the saying goes, ugly people make more trouble.
00:38:33But poor people make more trouble.
00:38:36As the saying goes, ugly people make more trouble.
00:38:39But poor people make even more trouble.
00:38:43I couldn't care less what you think of me.
00:38:45But I didn't hire actors for this.
00:38:48We are all regular employees of the hotel.
00:38:50We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:38:53You must have misunderstood.
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?
00:39:22This cheap wine is only good for making noise when it shatters.
00:39:29With this order from President Hawthorne,
00:39:31I don't have to worry about my performance for the rest of the month.
00:39:35I think I'm going to make Ms. Fair a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:42Hello?
00:39:43Oh good, Mr. Carlos. Ms. Fair is in trouble.
00:39:47What? I'm coming over.
00:39:49Damaging someone else's property?
00:39:51Lavinia, you have never been one to consider the 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 so that she can smash them for fun.
00:40:09You're disgusting.
00:40:11We're ashamed to have you as a classmate.
00:40:13You don't deserve to be at our party.
00:40:15Security! Where's the security?
00:40:17How may I assist you?
00:40:18Well, we don't know who this woman is,
00:40:20and I don't know how she got in here,
00:40:23and I want her out of here.
00:40:25Well, this is Summer Hart,
00:40:27the fiance of the president of Hawthorne's Group.
00:40:31And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:34I see.
00:40:36And what are you doing?
00:40:40What is going on here?
00:40:42Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:49Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:58Yes, I did.
00:41:00In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:41:06That can't be possible.
00:41:08Her family went bankrupt years ago.
00:41:11She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:13Let me correct myself.
00:41:15Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest,
00:41:19not 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? Does 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 can there possibly be a mistake?
00:41:46Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:41:51How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:41:54You 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 presumptuous 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.
00:42:58Okay.
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.
00:43:13I 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.
00:43:21I have something I have to attend to, so 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.
00:43:41No.
00:43:42I don't want to go home. I want to drink more.
00:43:45Listen, you've had too much. You're going to have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:49Oh, 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.
00:43:58Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:44:03Come on.
00:44:05Okay, ready?
00:44:06Three, two, one.
00:44:08Okay, here we go.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:16Mr. Hawthorne, come here. Here I am.
00:44:18Working overtime in the middle of the night.
00:44:20Driving at this speed.
00:44:22Speed, speed, speed.
00:44:24Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:29Christian, 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.
00:44:37Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe.
00:44:41And my father was also.
00:44:45Christian, let your father rest in peace.
00:44:51You're all I've got now.
00:44:57Anyway, I didn't dare to show you even a sliver of my feelings for you.
00:45:02But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:45:05Could you give me a chance?
00:45:09Yeah.
00:45:11Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:19Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed.
00:45:22She's the worst!
00:45:24I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved
00:45:27and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:30Oh?
00:45:31What is it?
00:45:34What is it?
00:45:35Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:45:38If we tell her about Elisa seducing Mr. Hawthorne, then...
00:45:44Good idea.
00:45:45Mia is the matriarch of the Hawthorne family.
00:45:49She's very clever.
00:45:51But she never got involved in the family business
00:45:54and she's lived in seclusion abroad for years.
00:45:57Even I haven't.
00:45:58Spoken to her.
00:45:59All we need to do is send an anonymous text message to Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:46:04Then we just need to wait for Elisa to be expelled from the Hawthorne family.
00:46:15I went through great lengths to get this,
00:46:17but I never contacted her because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:21Do it for me.
00:46:23When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:29It's my pleasure to help you, Ms. Hart.
00:46:32I just hope that when you become the president's wife, you won't forget me.
00:46:39Of course not.
00:46:47Major Hawthorne, you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:46:52What does it say?
00:46:54What does it say?
00:46:55It says there's a vixen on Ms. Brown, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:46:58She told me so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:47:06Book me a flight. I need to go back immediately.
00:47:25I'm so sorry.
00:47:27I'm so sorry I'm so late again today.
00:47:30Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:47:31Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
00:47:34I'm so sorry.
00:47:35You need to pay for this.
00:47:37Anyway, it was you that bumped into me, and it was just a light touch.
00:47:41I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:43Are you trying to leave me?
00:47:44Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation,
00:47:47having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:49What? How did I?
00:47:51Okay, here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:55Yeah, well, are you gonna help me up?
00:47:59Are you okay?
00:48:01No, I am not okay. My leg really hurts.
00:48:04I don't think I'm gonna be able to walk.
00:48:06You need to take responsibility for this.
00:48:08How can a young girl be so bad?
00:48:10She hit somebody. She doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:48:13She looks good, but she's ugly on the inside.
00:48:16No, no, no, the truth is...
00:48:18Never mind.
00:48:19Okay, uh, ma'am, do you have your family's contact information?
00:48:23I can help you reach out to them.
00:48:25Family?
00:48:27Who are my family?
00:48:30I don't remember.
00:48:34You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:43Uh...
00:48:44I don't remember anything. What do I do?
00:48:46You don't remember where you live?
00:48:48I don't remember anything. What do I do?
00:48:52How about I take you to the hospital and then to a police station?
00:48:57No, no, no, no, no.
00:48:59I'm not going to a hospital or a police station.
00:49:01I don't trust anybody.
00:49:03Oh, no. I'm going to be late.
00:49:05But there's the weekly department meeting today.
00:49:07I can't take leave.
00:49:10Okay, uh, ma'am, since you're not going anywhere,
00:49:13how about I take you to my company office?
00:49:16And then after work, I'll help you find your family.
00:49:19Fine. Because you need to take responsibility for this.
00:49:22You cannot leave my side.
00:49:24Okay, okay.
00:49:26Ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:49:28What?
00:49:29My mom's returned home?
00:49:30Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:31According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant,
00:49:33Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message about you
00:49:36and rushed back into the country.
00:49:37What was the text?
00:49:38It said, Mr. Hawthorne, you've been enchanted by seductress.
00:49:42She's always had a temper.
00:49:43Okay. I'm going to attend the business meeting personally.
00:49:46Are you afraid that Matriarch Robinson will suddenly come to our company?
00:49:49I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist.
00:49:52She'll probably be there.
00:49:53All right, Mr. Hawthorne. 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?
00:50:06Where's the sh-
00:50:08What?
00:50:11Heard, Ms. Hart.
00:50:12It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news
00:50:16and returned home immediately.
00:50:18Really?
00:50:19Then Elisa will be out of here soon.
00:50:22Yes.
00:50:24Congratulations in advance, Ms. Hart.
00:50:27Let's go.
00:50:28There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:50:30and Lucian will be there personally.
00:50:32We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:50:34Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip,
00:50:36so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:42If you get bored, you can just play on my phone.
00:50:45Okay.
00:50:46And we have to keep our voices down because people are working.
00:50:48Okay.
00:50:49I just want to know if I can pay-
00:50:50Everyone!
00:50:52The weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:54Elisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:57Elisa really treats the company as her home,
00:50:59bringing in anyone she likes.
00:51:02Seriously, so filthy.
00:51:04It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:51:10Elisa, our entire department is filled up with work and you?
00:51:15If we have to delay our work,
00:51:17are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:51:19Ms. Hart, this woman might have some trouble with her memory,
00:51:22so I'm only bringing her here temporarily.
00:51:25I was going to help her find her family after work
00:51:27and if she could just sit here for the time being,
00:51:29I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:51:31You mean you brought this old hag in off the street
00:51:34and she's also sick?
00:51:36I think you're crazy.
00:51:38Picking up an old hag like this,
00:51:40speaking of poverty, stinking up the whole office.
00:51:43Where did you find her? In a sewer?
00:51:45What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill
00:51:48but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:51Yeah, Ms. Hart, I really think we should call a cleaner later
00:51:53to disinfect everywhere this lady's been.
00:51:56How could all of you be so cruel?
00:51:58Don't you all have families too?
00:52:00What if one of them had lost their memory and needed your help?
00:52:03This girl, she's interesting.
00:52:05I'm not the one who's sick.
00:52:07You're sick!
00:52:10Disgusting.
00:52:11Alisa, our company has rules and regulations.
00:52:14It's not a place for you to show your kindness.
00:52:17Get this old hag out of here now.
00:52:22Get this old hag out of here now.
00:52:25Ms. Hart, there is nothing in our company policy
00:52:28that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:52:30In fact, it encourages us to do so.
00:52:32Oh, there isn't? Well, now there is.
00:52:37Do you have a problem?
00:52:38Ms. Hart is a senior leader in our company.
00:52:40She can represent our president
00:52:42and now she just happened to add another company rule.
00:52:45Even if she asks security to drag you out,
00:52:47there's nothing you can do. Understand?
00:52:51How come the employees of the business department are like this?
00:52:55Lucian will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:58Alisa, you have two minutes.
00:53:00If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you.
00:53:04You can go beg on the street with her.
00:53:06Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:53:10Summer, you are really pushing it.
00:53:12Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:53:15I'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
00:53:31and I never thought that the business department at the Hawthorne Group
00:53:34would decay into this state.
00:53:39Alisa will not be fired. You will.
00:53:44You will.
00:53:46Matthew, did I just hear this old hag say she's going to fire us?
00:53:50She has a problem with her brain, that's why she's talking crazy.
00:53:53It's hard to tell a president's wife to be firing her.
00:53:58Too ridiculous.
00:54:00Besides memory loss, is she also crazy?
00:54:03Why are they saying president's wife?
00:54:06Isn't it you?
00:54:08Are all of you quite finished? I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:54:11You are kind and righteous.
00:54:14You never use Lucian's identity to gain power.
00:54:17But you?
00:54:18Okay, ma'am, it's okay. I'm going to help you find your family. Let's go.
00:54:22Why do we need to leave? Why don't they leave first?
00:54:25Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:54:28Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now.
00:54:38You've got guts.
00:54:40I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:49You actually dared to hit me?
00:54:52Miss Hart?
00:54:54Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate.
00:54:57I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:54:59You don't have the authority.
00:55:01Of course I do. She hit my subordinate.
00:55:03I can reasonably deduce she has some mental issues.
00:55:06How many times do I have to tell you?
00:55:08Yes, this woman is clearly sick, but naturally I'm going to find her family to let them handle it.
00:55:12If you and Matthew hadn't instigated this, none of this would have happened.
00:55:16This woman's actions can only be described as self-defense.
00:55:18Yeah, I think you're the one who's crazy.
00:55:20You don't respect the elderly. You're not qualified to be a leader.
00:55:24I don't know why your company's higher-ups even chose you.
00:55:29Oh, are you angry?
00:55:35Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight.
00:55:38Security, throw both of them out of the platform room.
00:55:46Whitney here, I can't drive you away.
00:55:49I tell you, I am...
00:55:51Summer, 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.
00:56:05Explain.
00:56:06Well, it's like this. Elisa brought this woman in off the street, who smells terrible,
00:56:10and insisted on having her in the office, which was disrupting everyone's work,
00:56:15so I'm only thinking of the company.
00:56:17Yes, Mr. Hawthorne, what if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone?
00:56:22I take full responsibility for this incident.
00:56:24If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation.
00:56:29Hawthorne Group is not an impersonal company.
00:56:32Elisa's done well.
00:56:35From today forward, you'll be promoted to team leader,
00:56:38and oversee projects as a reward.
00:56:40Mr. Hawthorne, I'm...
00:56:42I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:45I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:49As for you, you can go to HR, and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:55He is the backbone of the business department.
00:56:58If you fire him, there'll be no elites left.
00:57:00Summer, you've managed the business department into a mess.
00:57:03You're responsible for that.
00:57:05I promise to manage the business department better.
00:57:07This won't happen again.
00:57:09Matthew!
00:57:10Why have you not apologized to this madame and miss Vail yet?
00:57:16Matthew!
00:57:17Why have you not apologized to this madame and miss Vail yet?
00:57:23I'm sorry.
00:57:24Please forgive me.
00:57:26Why are you apologizing first?
00:57:28This one almost just put me into a mental hospital.
00:57:30You old hag.
00:57:31How dare you ask me to apologize?
00:57:34Miss Hart,
00:57:36apologize.
00:57:40Sorry.
00:57:41I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
00:57:48I was wrong.
00:57:49I'm sorry.
00:57:51And you guys?
00:57:55I'm sorry.
00:57:56Sorry.
00:58:00Have I been misunderstanding him all this time?
00:58:02Could it be?
00:58:03Well, it's the end of that matter.
00:58:05I'll take care of this lady
00:58:07and help her find her family.
00:58:13Lucian, why did you call me over?
00:58:15What if Elisa finds out?
00:58:16Mom, what exactly are you trying to do?
00:58:18I want to test my daughter-in-law.
00:58:22Haven't you tested her enough today?
00:58:24She's great.
00:58:25You saw that.
00:58:29Oh, Lucian.
00:58:32You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:58:36That's enough.
00:58:38Fine.
00:58:40Look, Elisa is a very good girl.
00:58:44But it seems she doesn't even know that you like her.
00:58:48Nor does anyone else know that she's your wife.
00:58:50Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:55I don't know how to tell her.
00:58:56I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public,
00:58:59pressure will be too much for her.
00:59:01Lucian, when did you become such a coward?
00:59:05Look, if you like her, just confess boldly.
00:59:09You don't want to wait until Elisa falls for some other guy
00:59:12before you feel regret, do you?
00:59:16Regret what?
00:59:19Nothing.
00:59:20Please, come sit.
00:59:25Elisa, I'm sorry I deceptive earlier.
00:59:31I...
00:59:32I'm actually Lucian's mother.
00:59:35What?
00:59:38Please, let me explain.
00:59:41A few days ago, I got an anonymous text saying that
00:59:44some woman was trying to seduce Lucian
00:59:47and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:51Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:55Yes, Mrs. Hoffman, I understand.
00:59:57You're just looking out for your son.
00:59:59But I am concerned that the person who sent that text
01:00:01must have had bad intentions.
01:00:03I have an idea of your subject.
01:00:05Go ahead.
01:00:06Good.
01:00:07And Elisa, I heard that Lucian plans on taking you
01:00:10to a very fancy dinner tonight.
01:00:13Okay.
01:00:14There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:30Lucian, why aren't you eating?
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:35Of course.
01:00:39Elisa, what do you want to ask me?
01:00:41If you want a divorce, it's not going to happen.
01:00:44Why would you think I want a divorce?
01:00:52Okay.
01:00:53I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:56You've liked Summer for ten years.
01:00:59I mean, why would you marry me?
01:01:01Why protect me at every turn?
01:01:03Hold on.
01:01:06You think I've liked Summer for ten years?
01:01:08Judging by his reaction, he must have been caught off guard.
01:01:12Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:01:14Seriously, why would I have liked her for ten years?
01:01:17Elisa, I've liked you for ten years.
01:01:21What?
01:01:24How 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,
01:01:32I chose to give up.
01:01:36I wanted to show you that I cared for you, but I couldn't.
01:01:39I was afraid that it would put you in danger.
01:01:42I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:44All 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 that you didn't like me,
01:02:12we 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,
01:02:19it 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.
01:02:42But then, why did you write Summer that love letter back then?
01:02:47What love letter?
01:02:49I 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.
01:03:00What 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 not just a misunderstanding?
01:03:16So it was not just a misunderstanding?
01:03:19Listen, I love you.
01:03:22I know I tricked you into marrying me.
01:03:26The feelings for you are absolutely true.
01:03:29So, will you try to accept me?
01:03:33I know that our marriage started as a contract, but it feels real to me now.
01:03:39I love you.
01:03:41I want to be with you.
01:03:43I want to be with you now, and I want to be with you no matter what I do.
01:03:48I love you.
01:03:58You're finally mine.
01:04:01I'm yours.
01:04:08I'm yours.
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.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:25Lucian, I...
01:04:27Elise, you...
01:04:29Summer, I'd like you to meet my wife.
01:04:31What?
01:04:33Elisa 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.
01:04:51Now, considering the relationship between our families,
01:04:54I'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.
01:05:04Yay!
