00:00Who are you?
00:27What do you think about the room I've prepared for you?
00:32How did you leave your room?
00:33What's wrong?
00:34You couldn't take your eyes off my portrait.
00:35Now you can't handle the real thing.
00:36Open your eyes, babe.
00:37You must not enter Brandon's bedroom or study.
01:02He has very little patience, and nobody is ever allowed in there.
01:06Is that clear?
01:07Understood.
01:08Is this the boss?
01:09Madame Lenny, is it true that he's never left the house?
01:10Like he's allergic to the sun or something?
01:11Follow me.
01:12You're in luck.
01:13I'm not.
01:14Brandon has allowed you to stay in a guest room in this area.
01:42You'll start working tomorrow.
01:43But meet me in the living room in two hours, and I'll give you the grand tour.
01:48What is it, Miss Hart?
01:50I was just wondering, has he really never left the house?
01:55This will be the last time you ever ask about that.
01:58Curiosity is not welcome in this house.
02:00Focus on your job.
02:01Wow.
02:02This is literally where princes live.
02:06Miss Hart, you're late.
02:13Late?
02:14But you told me to come at being early.

02:43no it's okay hey elena it's really nice to meet you i'm oliver katrakis hello mr katrakis i've
02:50read about you actually you're chairman's lucenza only representative right yeah i'm brandon's
02:56cousin i'm also his personal assistant so please come and take a seat
03:07so your job is not going to be very complicated but sometimes brandon can be pretty
03:14so just stick to the recipes and uh no room for improvisation
03:20so he's greek so he loves traditional greek dishes but he's also open to trying other
03:25cuisines so these are all the recipes that he loves right those are all of his favorites but
03:31you're gonna have to learn more well i'm up for the challenge good because right now i have my
03:37plate full of the company so i'm leaving brandon in your capable hands you can't count on me i
03:44promise but i was just wondering why me i mean i'm not exactly experienced that's not the point
03:54he chose you personally so you're going to be just fine
03:59will i get to meet him i'm not for sure on that but i think you will
04:13so
04:19what is he like why would he act so mysterious
04:35you should check out the reading room when you get a chance there's like a ton of cookbooks in
04:38there really yeah well that's incredible but if you go up there just stay on the third floor

05:24miss hart brandon really enjoyed the meal but he would appreciate it if you didn't leave any
05:28little notes but why didn't mr katrakis ask you not to improvise yeah but i did it because
05:36didn't he also ask me to keep learning
05:47happy to hear that you love this dish but the extra spices are necessary
06:05so

06:23my god did he really reply his handwriting is so beautiful
06:36so

20:00is something wrong with it i'm not a fan of sharing get out now
20:22what happened
20:23i tried to recreate a dish we had last night at the restaurant so brennan could try it too but
20:30he said he doesn't like sharing
20:34something funny it has nothing to do with sharing
20:39he's jealous jealous why because you got him used to having someone around and now he's trusting
20:46people again and he doesn't want to lose that that's why he becomes insecure when you take
20:51a liking to someone like me elena i really admire you and not just because of how well
20:56you perform your job you make brandon feel alive again i know him very well
21:02and i think you should get to know him more yourself as well

21:19didn't i tell you not to come in here i wanted to talk to you i'm sorry stop do i have to remind
21:27you not to fall for anyone why this is a place of work not for romans i know but ever since i got

21:40i know just leave
21:49you know i just wish you would get out of the house and see the world
21:52instead of locking yourself away in here look that's none of your business
22:06why would he do that
22:17hi elena uh this is dr cassius he needs to know everything about your most recent
22:23interactions with brandon interaction i i just had a small conversation with him
22:28miss hart please calm down i just need to know how brandon is doing given his delicate health
22:33condition we have to make sure he hasn't been triggered in any way it's triggered i didn't
22:41trigger him i swear i i was just talking to him and then i i touched his hand and then suddenly
22:48oh my is he all right can i see him
23:04so
23:15what are you doing i told you not to come in here not leaving until you tell me the real reason

24:30people but for brandon it could be deadly how is it so serious what he previously suffered
24:39physical injuries that caused him serious mental disorders his body rejects any intimate contact
24:47it's like an instinct it can cause serious physical reactions oh my god what have i done
24:53i'm not so sure about your feelings for him but if you want to be with him
24:58either you stay here forever and accept him the way he is or help him get better
