00:00:00I, Alisa, a nobody in the workplace, single since birth for 23 years, never even held
00:00:12a man's hand, but last night, I accidentally slept with my boss.
00:00:16He's a CEO, he's the kind of guy that you read about in novels, and he already has a
00:00:21woman in his heart.
00:00:22Hey, it's been a really long night.
00:00:24Hey, it's been a really long night, and I think it should be a longer night.
00:00:33You should come over.
00:00:35I'll see you soon.
00:00:40What do you mean by question mark?
00:00:42Because it used to be fun.
00:00:44I have good wine.
00:00:46I'm in room 1501.
00:00:48I'll see you soon.
00:00:53I'm coming.
00:01:04This room is warm.
00:01:07What are you doing?
00:01:23Alisa?
00:01:24Hey, Mom.
00:01:25Please come home as soon as possible.
00:01:26I just received an order from the court.
00:01:27Since we are unable to repay the huge debt your father owed, our house will be auctioned
00:01:28off to pay off the debt.
00:01:29We must move out of the house now.
00:01:30Don't worry.
00:01:31I'm going to be right there.
00:01:32Alisa?
00:01:33Mom?
00:01:34Mom?
00:01:35Mom?
00:01:36Mom?
00:01:37Mom?
00:01:38Mom?
00:01:39Mom?
00:01:40Mom?
00:01:41Mom?
00:01:42Mom?
00:01:43Mom?
00:01:44Mom?
00:01:45Mom?
00:01:46Mom?
00:01:47Mom?
00:01:48Mom?
00:01:49Mom?
00:01:50Mom?
00:01:51Mom?
00:01:52Mom?
00:01:53Mom?
00:01:54Mom?
00:02:02Oh my God.
00:02:03Mom, are you okay?
00:02:06I'm fine, honey.
00:02:09I'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.
00:02:20I'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?
00:02:35Don't you remember we were supposed to meet in the conference room at 9?
00:02:38Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:41I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home and, um...
00:02:44If you could please just tell management that...
00:02:48Hello?
00:02:50No, no, no, no, no. It sucks.
00:02:54I just lost my house and now I'm going to lose my job too?
00:02:57Where am I going to find a million dollars?
00:03:03Elisa?
00:03:05Why 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?
00:03:21I need you to be my wife.
00:03:23Give it a thought.
00:03:26Mr. Hawthorne, I was...
00:03:29really 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
00:03:44and make sure that your house doesn't get auctioned off.
00:03:47If you agree, we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:03:58Why do you want to help me?
00:04:01I told you, I need a wife.
00:04:03And 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.
00:04:22I 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...
00:04:33take you back.
00:04:34And I'll give you my home address so you can move in tonight.
00:04:37Your home address?
00:04:41We're legally married.
00:04:42That's why we're living together.
00:04:45Right, this 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, it was raining and I didn't see you there.
00:05:12No worries, it'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...
00:05:35Alright, give it back.
00:05:36Hey, watch your mouth.
00:05:38You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:40It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:42Shh, let's play the tea later.
00:05:44Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne.
00:05:47You are the CEO's wife, so where is my pay break?
00:05:50I couldn't help it.
00:05:51We've known each other since middle school.
00:05:53I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:55Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:06:01Ms. Harth is back!
00:06:03Ms. Harth is back!
00:06:18Hello everyone.
00:06:19Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:22Thank you Ms. Harth, you are so very kind.
00:06:25It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:27Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:29Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:31I have to go see Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:06:34He must want to see me right now.
00:06:36Save a slice for me, honey.
00:06:39When do you think they will make their relationship public?
00:06:42Probably soon.
00:06:43Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone,
00:06:46the code is 0903, Ms. Harth's birthday.
00:06:49Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:51Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne would be so romantic.
00:06:53He usually puts on a poker face.
00:06:55Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne...
00:07:00Please, don't talk to me.
00:07:11Okay.
00:07:150903.
00:07:20It's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:21If they love each other so much, then...
00:07:25It's okay, whatever it is, he's just not getting his money back.
00:07:30Mr. Hawthorne
00:07:37Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:41Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:43Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should...
00:07:44Follow me.
00:07:59What should I do?
00:08:00Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:03I know that we did that before, but...
00:08:05I was drunk.
00:08:10If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:08:12But...
00:08:14If I don't...
00:08:15Alyssa?
00:08:16You okay?
00:08:17I'm fine.
00:08:18Thank you for asking.
00:08:25I'm sorry.
00:08:26I'm sorry.
00:08:27I'm sorry.
00:08:29I'm sorry.
00:08:37Listen, I'm...
00:08:38I'm not ready.
00:08:40I was...
00:08:41Just gonna turn off the light.
00:08:44What did you think I was gonna do?
00:08:46Oh yeah, no...
00:08:48Don't get me wrong, I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:52Alyssa...
00:08:53I don't want some one night stand.
00:08:56I wanna be your everything.
00:08:59I wanna be your everything.
00:09:02Matthew!
00:09:03Why did the negotiations with the sunlight group fail?
00:09:05It's Alyssa's fault.
00:09:07If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:10How is it her fault?
00:09:12Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:14I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne...
00:09:18Entering her hotel room the night before Alyssa skipped work.
00:09:22What?
00:09:23What did you say to me?
00:09:25It is absolutely true.
00:09:26Not only did she cause our failure...
00:09:29But she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:40Matthew...
00:09:41You know how important our negotiations with the sunlight group is.
00:09:46And since it is your subordinate's fault...
00:09:49You know what to do, right?
00:09:52Mr. Shirt...
00:09:53I know what to do.
00:09:57Last night...
00:09:58With Lucian laying beside me...
00:10:00I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:03Alyssa...
00:10:04Is this how you do your job?
00:10:06Look what trouble you brought us!
00:10:08It is because of you that we lost the project with the sunlight group.
00:10:11You're fired.
00:10:13Mr. Clark...
00:10:14I was only in charge of the initial budget, not the negotiations.
00:10:17I don't understand how this could be my fault.
00:10:19Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:22Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:28Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:31That's because something unexpected happened at home...
00:10:33But I called in for a leave of absence.
00:10:35So what?
00:10:36We needed you last minute and you weren't there.
00:10:39Now that the project has failed...
00:10:41If you're not to blame, who else would it be?
00:10:44I was absent that day, yes.
00:10:46But I prepared the initial budget ahead of time...
00:10:49So there is no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:10:54Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:10:56Alyssa, take a closer look.
00:10:58What did you write in the project budget?
00:11:04No, no, no, this isn't right.
00:11:06I wrote $50 million.
00:11:08How did it become $5 million?
00:11:11For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:15For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:19Alyssa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:22Looks like Alyssa is in trouble.
00:11:25Alyssa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:27How could she make such an error?
00:11:29Keep it down. Can't you see?
00:11:32You'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?
00:11:54Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:56Alyssa?
00:11:58Are you suggesting that Mr. Clark is the one who stole the budget?
00:12:02Are you suggesting that Mr. Clark and Ms. Hart are conspiring against you?
00:12:06You better pack up and leave now before making a bigger fool out of yourself.
00:12:10What are you saying?
00:12:12I've seen the budget Alyssa made.
00:12:14We all checked it as a team.
00:12:18Obviously, someone tampered with it.
00:12:20Are you saying that we are framing her?
00:12:23At the very least, she deserves a good reason to be fired.
00:12:26Fine. If anyone else can vouch for Alyssa, I can give her a second chance.
00:12:32Anyone?
00:12:36Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:38I don't remember.
00:12:43Since there's no one, Alyssa, would you like to walk yourself out?
00:12:47Or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:55This better be something important.
00:12:57Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:59So? Can't Summer handle it?
00:13:01She started it. Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:13:07Let's go.
00:13:09Amelia, it's okay.
00:13:11They clearly just want someone to blame for this entire thing.
00:13:13So what should we do then?
00:13:15Allow them to push all the blame onto you?
00:13:19Ms. Hart, Mr. Clark.
00:13:22I'll step down from my position, but I will never admit to mistakes that I didn't make.
00:13:27I will get down to the bottom of this.
00:13:29You're shameless. The evidence is right here.
00:13:32Where do you get the nerve to deny it?
00:13:34Besides the project book, there's also surveillance footage and their computer backend logs.
00:13:39All of these will prove that my budget was correct.
00:13:41And I will investigate this until the end.
00:13:45There is no need for an investigation.
00:13:48You have already been fired.
00:13:51Since you refuse to leave, security, drag her out.
00:13:57I'm sorry.
00:14:03Elisa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:14:07You will never set foot in Hawthorne Group ever again.
00:14:14Summer? What are you doing?
00:14:20Why is he here? Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:24Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:27Let her go.
00:14:29What's going on with these two? Am I fired or not? Could it be I'm just a pawn in their game?
00:14:36Care to explain what's going on?
00:14:37Well, Elisa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her.
00:14:41But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work.
00:14:44So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:47Fired for what?
00:14:48Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne. The negotiations with the Sunlight Group failed due to Elisa's mistake.
00:14:53We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:14:56You set me up with some half-baked plan, tried to fire me and then called security.
00:15:01Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:15:03Elisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne?
00:15:08Lucian, see? She won't admit her mistakes and she even questions your public.
00:15:15Oh God, now I'm really fired.
00:15:18Elisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne. She has to be fired now.
00:15:26I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:28Pitying her? You're an employee too. Mind your own business.
00:15:33Elisa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:36Elisa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means? Hurry up and leave.
00:15:40Of course Lucian is on Summer's side.
00:15:44Of course Lucian is on Summer's side. I'm just his wife out of nowhere.
00:15:50Surely I'm no match for his lover.
00:15:58Hold on.
00:16:04Did I tell you to leave?
00:16:05You're not angry?
00:16:06Why would I be angry?
00:16:08The company needs to find out who's responsible for Sunrise Group Project first.
00:16:12Ronan, take charge of that.
00:16:13Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:16:14So what you're saying is I'm not fired. At least for now.
00:16:21Lucian, Elisa not only made mistakes on this project, but she was absent from work without permission.
00:16:26And she defied you in public.
00:16:27Summer, I'll handle company policy, okay?
00:16:31But we never, ever fire an employee for no reason.
00:16:35I... I agree with Lucian.
00:16:39Matthew, I told you to wait till the investigation was done, but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:44Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:16:47Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:49Is Lucian helping me?
00:16:51But as a CEO, he needs to do things fairly in front of his employees.
00:16:55This proves nothing.
00:16:57Elisa, may I have a few words with you?
00:17:03Elisa, you are damn lucky this time.
00:17:06But you won't be for the next time.
00:17:18Mr. Hawthorne, if this is about the project, then I'm so sorry that you were bothered.
00:17:22Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:26Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:28Next time something like that happens, come see me. Don't let me handle it.
00:17:33You're so busy. I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:37We're married.
00:17:41You can do whatever you want.
00:17:43We're at the office. Fool around.
00:17:46Fool around?
00:17:48Well, that's the proper thing since we're married.
00:17:52Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:17:58Even while we're at work?
00:18:00That's not necessarily what I mean.
00:18:03Well, if that's all, Mr. Hawthorne, I guess I'll be going back to work.
00:18:14Elisa.
00:18:15Remember my words. Stay away from that girl.
00:18:25Elisa, when you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office...
00:18:27Amelia!
00:18:29I can't really understand it over here. Can you help me please?
00:18:38Ms. Hart, may I help you?
00:18:41You are still under investigation. Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:47But I was just looking over the project budget for the next thing.
00:18:50Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:53Can't you see the trash is full? Clean it.
00:18:57Ms. Hart.
00:18:58I'm an analyst. I'm not an intern.
00:19:01What? Are you defying your superior?
00:19:04Someone is really ignorant. She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:19:08Now she's defying her superior. Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:12Right? Ms. Hart is not just the daughter of a noble family.
00:19:16She also has an unusual relationship with our president.
00:19:19It would be in your best interest to help Ms. Hart with the trifle.
00:19:23Stop being ungrateful.
00:19:25Elisa, I can have you fired for defying your superior.
00:19:29So you better choose wisely.
00:19:32You're right. I like my job.
00:19:34And I'm going to become an excellent executive in my dream company.
00:19:39Fine.
00:19:41I'll do it.
00:19:49Better to bend than break, huh?
00:19:51It doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:58Ms. Hart, your coffee.
00:20:00Hand it to me.
00:20:10Oh my god, this coffee is so hot. It almost burned me alive.
00:20:13Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:16Don't you know I only drink iced Americano? Who hired you anyway?
00:20:20I'm so sorry. I will go buy you one right now.
00:20:22Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:32Who told you you could mop the floor with that?
00:20:34If you damage the floors, can you afford to pay for them?
00:20:38How exactly would you like me to mop the floor, Ms. Hart?
00:20:41With a cloth on your hands and knees. Inch by inch.
00:20:46Sorry, don't you think you're going a little too far?
00:20:49What? Can't handle it? You could always quit.
00:20:58Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:21:03Even while we're at work?
00:21:07Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:21:11Uh-huh.
00:21:13Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:16Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:17Let's pay a visit first.
00:21:19Mr. Hawthorne is already so eager to see her. He's completely in love with Ms. Hart.
00:21:27Ms. Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:32I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
00:21:36Elise, when you were seducing Lucian when I was away, have you ever thought of today?
00:21:43I didn't seduce him.
00:21:45You didn't? Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:50If you did seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:21:54Silver, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:59Silver, what the hell are you doing?
00:22:01Lucian!
00:22:02Elise, are you alright?
00:22:03Elise is still under investigation, right?
00:22:05She's not suitable for working on company projects, so I had her doing simpler tasks like fetching me coffee.
00:22:11But she spilled the coffee on purpose.
00:22:13That isn't true.
00:22:14It doesn't matter anyway. I don't blame her for it.
00:22:16But she insisted on wiping it up.
00:22:18I stepped on her by accident. I was about to apologize to her.
00:22:23Is that so?
00:22:24Elise, is that actually what happened?
00:22:26Lucian is in love with Silver.
00:22:28Even if I told the truth, would he believe me?
00:22:32Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:34Come with me to my office.
00:22:38Come.
00:22:40Why on earth did Lucian call Elisa to his office again?
00:22:44I must find out.
00:22:52Have a seat.
00:22:54Your hand's hurt. You need an advantage.
00:22:57It's really fine. I can just go home and-
00:23:00No, no, I got it already.
00:23:02Have a seat.
00:23:04Okay.
00:23:07Alright, let's see.
00:23:09You know, Summer is competent, but she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:14I can transfer you to another department.
00:23:16If you can't bear her, maybe mine, so we can spend more time together.
00:23:22No, no, I'm fine in the business department.
00:23:25Elisa, you're my wife. I don't want you to be bullied anymore.
00:23:29Stop pretending like you don't know she only does that because she's in love with you.
00:23:33Okay, last step.
00:23:37Okay.
00:23:38Just don't let this hand touch water for a moment.
00:23:40Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:23:44It's just the two of us. You can call me by my name.
00:23:48When we're at work, I thought I shouldn't.
00:23:50Yeah, why shouldn't you?
00:23:51Lucian, why did you marry me? And why do you keep defending me?
00:23:56Do you really not know why?
00:23:58We've known each other since high school, but he's always kind of ignored me.
00:24:02Hasn't he always had a thing for Summer?
00:24:05Or could it be that everyone has been wrong all along?
00:24:14Bloody Elisa. You sure are good at playing naive.
00:24:18I must find a way to teach you a lesson.
00:24:23A reunion party?
00:24:25The gods are favoring me.
00:24:28Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:36Alright, it's ready.
00:24:39How many slices do you want?
00:24:41Mom, what's wrong?
00:24:43Elisa, isn't our house supposed to be auctioned off by the court to pay off our debts?
00:24:50Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:24:52Um...
00:24:55Well, I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:25:00What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:25:06Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:25:11Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about it. It's okay.
00:25:16Elisa.
00:25:19Hey.
00:25:21Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:23What's up?
00:25:24There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:26They notified us in the group, but I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond.
00:25:31So I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:33Of course, it's been ages.
00:25:35Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:38Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:41Just leave it over there.
00:25:49How about we grab a drink tonight? I know a good place.
00:25:53I actually have plans tonight.
00:25:55If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:57Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:59Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:26:01Please leave.
00:26:06Hold on. Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:26:09Summer, how many ways do I have to say this?
00:26:11I'm busy. Leave.
00:26:13Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:16But ever since Elisa came, I've become colder and colder.
00:26:21Elisa...
00:26:22Don't let your eyes off me.
00:26:29I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:32Is he going?
00:26:34Something on your mind?
00:26:35It's not a big deal, but...
00:26:37There's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:40Are you going?
00:26:42Are you going?
00:26:43I don't know.
00:26:44I know you made a good point, but...
00:26:46We don't really see each other that often.
00:26:48I thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:50Oh, you know what?
00:26:52I actually have a meeting.
00:26:54I think I'll pass.
00:26:55Okay.
00:26:56Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:57I'll send you something though, since I can't be there.
00:27:00You really don't have to do that.
00:27:02And I know it's far, so...
00:27:04Take this.
00:27:06Lucian, it's...
00:27:07That's way too expensive.
00:27:09I'm just gonna take the subway.
00:27:11Elisa...
00:27:12I'm capable of offering you a better life.
00:27:14Why would you take the subway?
00:27:16Consider this a gift.
00:27:18Lucian is acting like...
00:27:20He actually likes me.
00:27:22What game is he playing?
00:27:24Come on.
00:27:25Take it.
00:27:28You're just giving this to me?
00:27:30Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:32Legally speaking, it's mine, it's yours.
00:27:36Well, thank you then.
00:27:43This is a customized version.
00:27:45It probably costs millions.
00:27:47Jesus, Elisa!
00:27:48If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:51Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:27:55You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:27:58He does treat me well, though.
00:28:00You know, all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:28:04I don't know.
00:28:05I'm probably just overthinking.
00:28:07Maybe it's, um...
00:28:09A misunderstanding or a coincidence?
00:28:12I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer.
00:28:15I don't think he's into her.
00:28:16No, that's just because he's trying to keep the down-low at work.
00:28:20Well, even if he were trying to keep it that way...
00:28:23Do you know how that saying goes?
00:28:25We can try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes can speak.
00:28:30The way he looks at Summer...
00:28:32It doesn't feel right, do you know what I mean?
00:28:34I have absolutely no idea what you mean, because you sound crazy.
00:28:37You...
00:28:38I'm done.
00:28:39You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:40Well, we're late. We have to go.
00:28:41Okay.
00:28:50Hello, everyone.
00:28:51Long time no see.
00:28:53So sorry we're late.
00:28:54So, it's Elisa.
00:28:56What is it?
00:28:57The poor student back then is playing heirs now?
00:29:03Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:29:08Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:29:12Elisa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, weren't you?
00:29:17Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:29:19After all this year, she still speaks of poverty.
00:29:24Hey, don't say such a word.
00:29:26What if she's doing well and busy with work?
00:29:30Maybe she didn't mean to be late.
00:29:32Her? She's probably a low-level employee.
00:29:34How well could she be doing?
00:29:36What do you mean by that?
00:29:38Elisa and I were just...
00:29:42Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:43Although it's been years since we graduated, she's only been more gorgeous.
00:29:47Summer is both the daughter of the noble family and Mr. Harper's childhood friend.
00:29:53That Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:56Summer, come on. Sit next to me.
00:29:58I've reserved the mates.
00:30:04Sorry I'm late.
00:30:05Traffic was terrible.
00:30:07Never mind. It's our honor to have you.
00:30:09Summer, did you buy a new sports car?
00:30:12Not really. I just picked this one out of the garage because I was in a hurry.
00:30:17I'm actually tired of driving it. I haven't used it in...
00:30:21A sports car? That's something I can never afford.
00:30:24It's not that much.
00:30:26It's only a few hundred thousand.
00:30:28Wow, Summer surely is rich.
00:30:31Such an expensive car, but it's not nothing to her.
00:30:35Naturally. Don't you know who Summer is?
00:30:37Such a lottery card and nothing but the toy to her.
00:30:41She can have nearly as she wants.
00:30:43But just not...
00:30:45Shh.
00:30:46Elisa, what car did you drive here?
00:30:52She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car?
00:30:55She must be taking the subway.
00:30:57Why does she race? That's the reason?
00:31:00Elisa, the subway will soon stop running.
00:31:03Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:31:05Oh, Summer. You're still so kind-hearted.
00:31:08But how can somebody as low as her be riding in your luxury car?
00:31:14Be careful not to get her poverty stanchion over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:18What nonsense are you talking about?
00:31:20Elisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:24She drove here.
00:31:26A fancy new limited-edition convertible.
00:31:29And something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:32Oh my god. What a big mouth.
00:31:35What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:38Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:41Elisa, did you rent a car just to show off at the reunion?
00:31:45It's... it's not rented.
00:31:47Not rented? Who are you trying to fool?
00:31:50You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars, even if you sell yourself.
00:31:54Summer, is Hawthorne Group really that good?
00:31:58Even a little employee can afford such a fancy convertible?
00:32:02Hardly. Although Hawthorne Group does have good benefits, it's not to that extent.
00:32:08With her salary, she could probably never afford it, even if she worked herself to death.
00:32:14Elisa, we're all classmates here. You don't have to pretend to be rich.
00:32:19It probably costs half your salary to rent that car.
00:32:22It's best not to be so vain.
00:32:24What's the point of it? It's like the Cinderella. It will revert to its true form after midnight.
00:32:28Elisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:31Of course. Can't help it if this guy's too rich.
00:32:34I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:42Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start any time.
00:32:46Alright.
00:32:47Oh hey, by the way, my wife is having a class reunion tomorrow.
00:32:50Invite someone over for some fine wine.
00:32:52I'll grab some wine.
00:32:53Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:32:55I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:33:00Elisa, what's the point of lying?
00:33:03First you rent a car to show off at the reunion, and now you're making up a story about a wealthy husband?
00:33:11Are you living in a novel?
00:33:13Summer, aren't we colleagues with Elisa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:19It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry.
00:33:25Although I don't think so.
00:33:27If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:32So, Elisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:38Amelia, I think you should stay away from Elisa. She's got a bad influence on you.
00:33:48What do you know? Elisa's husband?
00:33:52Okay, okay, you guys keep partying. Amelia, let's go.
00:34:01Excuse me, these are the wines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:34:08Oh, 1982 Lafite? But we didn't order these wines.
00:34:14I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:34:16The wine is for me, right? He did say he would send something over. This is too much.
00:34:22Summer, this wine must be a special gift from Mr. Hawthorne for you.
00:34:26Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention from Mr. Hawthorne is Summer. Who else could it be?
00:34:33This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:35Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match since school, and now they're still so affectionate.
00:34:41I wonder if they're gonna get married soon.
00:34:43Of course! Summer is future president's wife. Unlike someone.
00:34:49Oh Elisa, you see? You can never shake my bond with Lucian.
00:34:55Alright everyone, since Lucian sent over these wines, let's enjoy them together.
00:35:00But Summer, this is 1982 Lafite. I think some people here are not worthy of drinking such fine wine.
00:35:09They say cast your pearls before swine. Even if we let Elisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good Lafite is.
00:35:14That's true. To pay it to her would be a waste.
00:35:17You're all wrong. This wine is for me.
00:35:23This wine is for me.
00:35:25Did I hear that right? You said that this wine was given to you by Mr. Hawthorne?
00:35:30It's hilarious. Do you think you're Mrs. Hawthorne?
00:35:33Mrs. Hawthorne is Summer.
00:35:36Are you daydreaming Elisa? Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:41Elisa, are you jealous of me? Not only jealous of my family background and my job,
00:35:47now you're jealous of my relationship with Lucian and want to claim the wines that are given to me.
00:35:52Don't you know that even if you try your hardest, what's not meant for you will never, ever be yours?
00:36:00Oh Summer, don't ruin your mood over such a rat in the gutter.
00:36:05She's just a clown.
00:36:06How can you be so confident that the wine is for Summer?
00:36:09When Summer and Mr. Hawthorne started dating, Elisa was somewhere picking up trash.
00:36:16All you ever do is talk. Why the hell would I lie about something like this?
00:36:20Who knows? After all, you don't understand how the poor things.
00:36:23Hey, waiter, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:29Yeah, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:33So that Summer can start daydreaming.
00:36:36These wines were given to Mrs. Elizabeth by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:45What? This wine is from Lucian to Elisa?
00:36:48There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:51How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Elisa?
00:36:54Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucian to Elisa.
00:37:00How could this be?
00:37:01What makes Elisa so special that Lucian would treat her like this?
00:37:06Why are you all so silent now?
00:37:08You were so talkative and confident before.
00:37:11Is it because you're embarrassed?
00:37:14Okay, okay, Amelia. Yeah, like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:37:17Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch.
00:37:21Could it be...
00:37:23Wait. What now, womania?
00:37:26Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:30After being exposed about the car keys,
00:37:33you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us.
00:37:37Oh my god, womania, you really are imaginative.
00:37:40You should become a screenwriter. You've really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:43What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth
00:37:47and here I am stating the facts? How is that imagination?
00:37:52Womania, I think you've got a point.
00:37:55After all, lady people are always so desperate for attention, right?
00:38:06Summer makes a valid point.
00:38:07Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:38:10How could he possibly send her wine?
00:38:12Go home and pay your actors.
00:38:16Elisa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:19If we hadn't gone to the same high school together,
00:38:22you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us, having meal,
00:38:26let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:30You all have gone too far.
00:38:32This is supposed to be a class reunion party and you're all targeting Elisa.
00:38:36What are you trying to do?
00:38:38What are we trying to do?
00:38:40She needs to know her place instead of deceiving us with lies again and again.
00:38:45How dare she do it and not admit it.
00:38:48Yes, Summer, as the saying goes, ugly people make more trouble,
00:38:52but poor people make even more trouble.
00:38:56I couldn't care less what you think of me, but I didn't hire actors for this.
00:39:01We are all regular employees of the hotel.
00:39:04We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:39:06You must have misunderstood.
00:39:15Misunderstood?
00:39:17Elisa, you really are hopeless.
00:39:20You found some actors and got two bottles of fake wine,
00:39:24thinking you could show off at the reunion party?
00:39:36This cheap wine is only good for making noise when it shatters.
00:39:43With this order from President Hawthorne,
00:39:46I don't have to worry about my performance for the rest of the month.
00:39:50I think I'm going to make Ms. Fair a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:57Hello?
00:39:58Oh, good, Mr. Carlos. Ms. Fair is in trouble.
00:40:01What? I'm coming over.
00:40:04Damaging someone else's property?
00:40:06Lavinia, you have never been one to consider the consequences of doing whatever Summer tells you to do.
00:40:10How much can a fake bottle of wine be worth?
00:40:14I'll pay her, and I'll pay for the remaining wine,
00:40:17and I'll just buy them all so that she can smash them for fun.
00:40:23You're disgusting.
00:40:25We're ashamed to have you as a classmate.
00:40:28You don't deserve to be at our party.
00:40:30Security! Where's your security?
00:40:32How may I assist you?
00:40:33Well, we don't know who this woman is,
00:40:35and I don't know how she got in here,
00:40:37and I want her out of here.
00:40:40Well, this is Summer Hart,
00:40:42fiancée of the president of Hawthorne School.
00:40:46And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:49I see.
00:40:51And what are you doing?
00:40:54What is going on here?
00:40:57Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:41:04Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:41:08Yes, I did.
00:41:10In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:41:16That can't be possible.
00:41:18Her family went bankrupt years ago.
00:41:21She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:23Let me correct myself.
00:41:25Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest,
00:41:29not only is she our VVVIP customer,
00:41:33but the wine was arranged to be sent by President Hawthorne to her.
00:41:38Does my word count? Does it have any weight around here?
00:41:42Mr. Carlos, there must be some mistake.
00:41:45Well, the wine was personally arranged
00:41:48by President Hawthorne's personal assistant, Ronan.
00:41:52How could there possibly be a mistake?
00:41:56Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:42:00How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:42:04You said that you would pay me back tenfold.
00:42:06Forget the tenfold. Just pay me the original price.
00:42:11Is Lucian going to be angry with me for this?
00:42:14Whatever. Let's just enjoy this moment.
00:42:16What's going on?
00:42:17Did President Hawthorne really send the wine to Elisa?
00:42:20I have no idea.
00:42:21Maybe Summer is just lying
00:42:24and she's being presumptuous about Mr. Hawthorne.
00:42:27So Summer, what's the best way for you to pay me back for this?
00:42:31You should have seen the look on Summer's face
00:42:34when she tried to swipe her card. It was hilarious.
00:42:37Oh my gosh, today we finally showed her who's boss.
00:42:40I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucian's dream girl.
00:42:44When he finds out I, the placeholder wife, am totally getting the...
00:42:48Legally, you are Mr. Hawthorne's wife.
00:42:51You are literally the President's wife.
00:42:53You have the high ground. What are you so afraid of?
00:42:56Come on, let's go drink and celebrate.
00:42:58You actually want to drink right now?
00:43:00Yes.
00:43:01No.
00:43:02Yes.
00:43:03No.
00:43:04Okay, okay, it's my card.
00:43:11Amelia, be honest with me, okay?
00:43:14What is it?
00:43:15I don't understand why Lucian wanted to marry me.
00:43:18I don't know, it's just...
00:43:20I'm starting to feel like maybe he...
00:43:23Is he actually someone you know?
00:43:25Hey Lisa, I have something I have to attend to,
00:43:28so I'm going to be leaving now.
00:43:30What? Wait, no.
00:43:32Are you gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:40Are you real?
00:43:42Or am I dreaming?
00:43:43Well, no, you're not dreaming. I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:46Big gossip?
00:43:48No.
00:43:49I don't want to go home. I want to drink more.
00:43:52Lisa, you've had too much. You're going to have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:56Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:44:00Come on.
00:44:01I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:44:05Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:44:10Come on.
00:44:12Okay, ready? Three, two, one.
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:16Okay, ready? Three, two, one.
00:44:18Okay, here we go.
00:44:26Mr. Hawthorne, good evening. Here I am.
00:44:28Working overtime in the middle of the night.
00:44:30Driving at this speed.
00:44:34Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:39Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:41Actually, I've been in love with you for ten years.
00:44:44Ever since I first saw you.
00:44:49Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe.
00:44:52And my father was also.
00:44:56Christian, let your father rest in peace.
00:45:03You're all I've got now.
00:45:06Anyway, I didn't dare to show you even a sliver of my feelings for you.
00:45:11But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:45:14Could you give me a chance?
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:20Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:28Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed.
00:45:31She's the worst!
00:45:33I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved
00:45:36and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:39Oh? What is it?
00:45:43What is it?
00:45:44Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:45:47If we tell her about Elisa seducing Mr. Hawthorne, then...
00:45:53Good idea.
00:45:55Mia is the matriarch of the Hawthorne family.
00:45:58She's very clever.
00:46:00But she never got involved in the family business
00:46:03and she's lived in seclusion abroad for years.
00:46:06Even I haven't spoken to her.
00:46:08All we need to do is send an anonymous text message to Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:46:13Then we just need to wait for Elisa to be expelled from the Hawthorne family.
00:46:24I went through great lengths to get this.
00:46:27I went through great lengths to get this,
00:46:30but I never contacted her because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:34Do it for me.
00:46:36When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:43It's my pleasure to help you, Miss Hart.
00:46:46I just hope that when you become the president's wife,
00:46:51you won't forget me.
00:46:52Of course not.
00:46:58Matriarch Hawthorne,
00:47:00you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:47:03What does it say?
00:47:05It says there's a vixen around Mr. Hawthorne.
00:47:08She's harmed him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:47:16Book me a flight. I need to go back immediately.
00:47:22Oh my god.
00:47:23I'm going to be late again today.
00:47:25I'm going to be late again today.
00:47:27Ow, ow, ow.
00:47:28Oh my god. I'm so sorry.
00:47:31I'm so sorry.
00:47:32You need to pay for this.
00:47:34Anyway, it was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:37I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:39Are you trying to leave me?
00:47:40Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation.
00:47:43Having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:46But how did I...
00:47:48Okay. Here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:52Yeah. Well, are you going to help me up?
00:47:56Are you okay?
00:47:57No, I am not okay. My leg really hurts.
00:48:00I don't think I'm going to be able to walk.
00:48:02You need to take responsibility for this.
00:48:04How can a young girl be so bad?
00:48:06She hit somebody. She doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:48:09She looks good, but she's ugly on the inside.
00:48:12No, no, no. The truth is...
00:48:14Never mind.
00:48:15Okay.
00:48:16Ma'am, do you have your family's contact information?
00:48:19I can help you reach out to them.
00:48:21Family?
00:48:23Who are my family?
00:48:26I don't remember.
00:48:31You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:34I don't remember anything.
00:48:36What do I do?
00:48:37You don't remember where you live?
00:48:38I don't remember anything.
00:48:40Okay.
00:48:41What do I do?
00:48:42How about I take you to the hospital and then to a police station?
00:48:47No, no, no, no, no.
00:48:49I'm not going to a hospital or a police station.
00:48:51I don't trust anybody.
00:48:53Oh, no. I'm going to be late.
00:48:55But there's the weekly department meeting today.
00:48:57I can't take leave.
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:01Ma'am, since you're not going anywhere,
00:49:03how about I take you to my company office?
00:49:06And then after work, I'll help you find your family.
00:49:09Fine.
00:49:10Because you need to take responsibility for this.
00:49:12You cannot leave my spot.
00:49:15Okay, okay.
00:49:16Ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:49:18What?
00:49:19My mom's returned home?
00:49:20Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:21According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant,
00:49:23Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message about you
00:49:26and rushed back into the country.
00:49:27What was the text?
00:49:28It said,
00:49:29Mr. Hawthorne, you've been enchanted by seductress.
00:49:32She's always had a temper.
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:34I'm going to attend the business meeting personally.
00:49:36Are you afraid that Matriarch Robinson will suddenly come to our company?
00:49:39I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist.
00:49:42She'll probably be there.
00:49:43All right, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:44I'll arrange it right away.
00:49:46Mom, please don't scare off the wife I finally got.
00:49:51How did the matter about Matriarch Robinson go?
00:49:54Rest assured, Ms. Hart,
00:49:56it's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news
00:50:00and returned home immediately.
00:50:02Really?
00:50:03Then Elisa will be out of here soon.
00:50:06Yes.
00:50:07Congratulations in advance, Ms. Hart.
00:50:10Let's go.
00:50:11There's a waiting list.
00:50:13Let's go.
00:50:14There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:50:16and Lucia will be there personally.
00:50:18We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:50:21Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip,
00:50:23so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:29If you get bored, you can just play on my phone.
00:50:32Okay.
00:50:33And we have to keep our voices down because people are working.
00:50:35Okay.
00:50:36I just want to know if I can play with this phone.
00:50:38Everyone,
00:50:39the weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:41Elisa,
00:50:42why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:44Elisa really treats the company as her home,
00:50:47bringing in anyone she likes.
00:50:49Seriously, so filthy.
00:50:51It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:50:58Elisa,
00:50:59our entire department is filled up with work,
00:51:01and you?
00:51:03If we have to delay our work,
00:51:05are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:51:07Ms. Hart,
00:51:08this woman might have some trouble with her memory,
00:51:10so I'm only bringing her here temporarily.
00:51:12I was going to help her find her family after work,
00:51:15and if she could just sit here for the time being,
00:51:17I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:51:19You mean you brought this old hag in off the street,
00:51:22and she's also sick?
00:51:25I think you're crazy.
00:51:26Picking up an old hag like this,
00:51:28wreaking of poverty,
00:51:29stinking up the whole office.
00:51:31What if you find her in a sewer?
00:51:34What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill,
00:51:36but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:39Yeah, Ms. Hart,
00:51:40I really think we should call a cleaner later
00:51:42to disinfect everywhere this lady's been.
00:51:44How could all of you be so cruel?
00:51:47Don't you all have families too?
00:51:49What if one of them had lost their memory,
00:51:51and needed your help?
00:51:52This girl, she's interesting.
00:51:54I'm not the one who's sick.
00:51:56You're sick!
00:51:59Disgusting.
00:52:00Elisa,
00:52:01our company has rules and regulations.
00:52:03It's not a place for you to show your kindness.
00:52:06Get this old hag out of here now.
00:52:12Get this old hag out of here now.
00:52:14Ms. Hart,
00:52:15there is nothing in our company policy
00:52:17that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:52:19In fact, it encourages us to do so.
00:52:21Oh, there isn't?
00:52:22Well, now there is.
00:52:26Do you have a problem?
00:52:27Ms. Hart is a senior leader in our company.
00:52:29She can represent our president,
00:52:31and now she just happened to add another company rule.
00:52:34Even if she asks security to drag you out,
00:52:36there's nothing you can do.
00:52:37Understand?
00:52:40How come the employees of the business department are like this?
00:52:44Lucian will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:46Elisa, you have two minutes.
00:52:48If you don't get this old hag out of here,
00:52:51I will fire you.
00:52:52You can go beg on the street with her.
00:52:54Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:52:58God, Summer, you are really pushing it.
00:53:00Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:53:03I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:53:06As a low-level employee,
00:53:08you have contradicted me one too many times,
00:53:10and now you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne?
00:53:13You're fired.
00:53:17Two years.
00:53:18Two years away from this company,
00:53:19and I never thought that the business department
00:53:22at the Hawthorne Group would decay into this state.
00:53:27Elisa will not be fired.
00:53:29You will!
00:53:33You will!
00:53:36Matthew, did I just hear this old hag say she's going to fire us?
00:53:40She has a problem with her brain.
00:53:41That's why she's talking crazy.
00:53:43It's hard to tell a president's wife to be firing her.
00:53:47Too ridiculous.
00:53:49Besides memory loss, is she also crazy?
00:53:52Why are they saying president's wife?
00:53:56Isn't it you?
00:53:57Are all of you quite finished?
00:53:59I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:54:01You are kind and righteous.
00:54:03Do you never use Lucian's identity to gain power?
00:54:07You?
00:54:08Okay, ma'am, it's okay.
00:54:09I'm going to help you find your family.
00:54:11Let's go.
00:54:12Why do we need to leave?
00:54:13Why don't they leave first?
00:54:14Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:54:17Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now!
00:54:28You've got guts.
00:54:30I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:41You actually dared to hit me?
00:54:44Miss Hart?
00:54:45Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate.
00:54:48I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:54:50You don't have the authority.
00:54:52Of course I do.
00:54:53She hit my subordinate.
00:54:54I can reasonably deduce she has some mental issues.
00:54:57How many times do I have to tell you?
00:54:59Yes, this woman is clearly sick,
00:55:00but naturally I'm going to find her family to let them handle it.
00:55:04If you and Matthew hadn't instigated this,
00:55:06none of this would have happened.
00:55:08This woman's actions can only be described as self-defense.
00:55:10Yeah, I think you're the one who's crazy.
00:55:12You don't respect the elderly.
00:55:14You're not qualified to be a leader.
00:55:16I don't know why your company's higher-ups even chose you.
00:55:21Oh, are you angry?
00:55:24Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight!
00:55:27Security, throw both of them out of Hawthorne group.
00:55:32Whitney here, I can't drive you away.
00:55:35I tell you, I am...
00:55:37Summer, what are you doing?
00:55:42Summer, what are you doing?
00:55:45Oh my God, why does Lucian come to the business department every day?
00:55:49Oh my God, why does Lucian come to the business department every day?
00:55:53Fine, I guess we'll have another showdown.
00:55:56Explain.
00:55:57Well, it's like this.
00:55:58Elisa brought this woman in off the street,
00:56:00who smells terrible,
00:56:01and insisted on having her in the office,
00:56:03which was disrupting everyone's work,
00:56:05so I'm only thinking of the company.
00:56:07Yes, Mr. Hawthorne,
00:56:08what if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone?
00:56:12I take full responsibility for this incident.
00:56:14If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation.
00:56:19Hawthorne group is not an impersonal company.
00:56:22Elisa's done well.
00:56:25From today forward,
00:56:26you'll be promoted to team leader,
00:56:28and oversee projects as a reward.
00:56:30Mr. Hawthorne, I'm...
00:56:33I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:35I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:39As for you,
00:56:41you can go to HR,
00:56:42and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:46He is the backbone of the business department.
00:56:48If you fire him, there'll be no elites left.
00:56:50Summer, you managed the business department into a mess.
00:56:53You're responsible for that.
00:56:55I promised to manage the business department better.
00:56:57This won't happen again.
00:56:59Matthew,
00:57:00why have you not apologized to this madame and miss Vail yet?
00:57:07Matthew,
00:57:08why have you not apologized to this madame and miss Vail yet?
00:57:14I'm sorry.
00:57:15Please forgive me.
00:57:17Why are you apologizing first?
00:57:19This one almost just put me into a mental hospital.
00:57:21You old hag.
00:57:23How dare you ask me to apologize?
00:57:25Miss Hart,
00:57:27apologize.
00:57:31Sorry.
00:57:32I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:39I was wrong.
00:57:40I'm sorry.
00:57:42And you guys?
00:57:45I'm sorry.
00:57:47Sorry.
00:57:50Have I been misunderstanding him all this time?
00:57:53Could it be?
00:57:54Well,
00:57:55it's the end of that matter.
00:57:56I'll take care of this lady,
00:57:58and help her find her family.
00:58:04Listen, why did you call me over?
00:58:06What if Elisa finds out?
00:58:08What exactly are you trying to do?
00:58:10I want to test my daughter-in-law.
00:58:13Haven't you tested her enough today?
00:58:15She's great.
00:58:16You saw that.
00:58:20Oh,
00:58:21Lucian.
00:58:23You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:58:27Enough.
00:58:29Fine.
00:58:31Look,
00:58:32Elisa is a very good girl,
00:58:35but it seems she doesn't even know that you like her.
00:58:38Nor does anyone else know that she's your wife.
00:58:41Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:46I don't know how to tell her.
00:58:47I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public,
00:58:50pressure will be too much for her.
00:58:52Lucian,
00:58:53when did you become such a coward?
00:58:56Look, if you like her,
00:58:57just confess boldly.
00:59:00You don't want to wait until Elisa falls for some other guy
00:59:03before you feel regret, do you?
00:59:07Regret what?
00:59:09Nothing.
00:59:10Please, come sit.
00:59:15Elisa,
00:59:17I'm sorry I was deceptive earlier.
00:59:20I...
00:59:22I'm actually Lucian's mother.
00:59:24What?
00:59:27Please, let me explain.
00:59:30Um,
00:59:31a few days ago I got an anonymous text
00:59:33saying that some woman was trying to seduce Lucian
00:59:37and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:41Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:47Yes, Mrs. Hoffman, I understand.
00:59:49You're just looking out for your son.
00:59:51But I am concerned that the person who sent that text
00:59:53must have had bad intentions.
00:59:55I have an idea of your subject.
00:59:57Go ahead.
00:59:58Good.
00:59:59And Elisa,
01:00:00I heard that Lucian plans on taking you
01:00:02to a very fancy dinner tonight.
01:00:05Okay.
01:00:06Okay.
01:00:08There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
01:00:21Lucian, why aren't you eating?
01:00:25Yeah.
01:00:26Of course.
01:00:31Elisa, what do you want to ask me?
01:00:33If you want a divorce, it's not going to happen.
01:00:36Why would you think I want a divorce?
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:45I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:47You've liked Summer for ten years.
01:00:51I mean, why would you marry me?
01:00:53Why protect me at every turn?
01:00:55Hold on.
01:00:57You think I've liked Summer for ten years?
01:00:59Judging by his reaction,
01:01:01he must have been caught off guard.
01:01:03Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:01:06Seriously, why would I have liked her for ten years?
01:01:08Elisa,
01:01:10I've liked you for ten years.
01:01:13What?
01:01:16How could that possibly be true?
01:01:17The first day we met,
01:01:18I fell for you.
01:01:20But because of the
01:01:22conflict between our parents,
01:01:24I chose to give up.
01:01:27I wanted to show you that I cared for you,
01:01:29but I couldn't.
01:01:30I was afraid that it would
01:01:32put you in danger.
01:01:34I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:36All these years, I've
01:01:38suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:41I fought tooth and nail
01:01:43to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:46And now it's taken me a decade to
01:01:49fully stand by you like this.
01:01:51So why now?
01:01:55And now it's taken me a decade to
01:01:58fully stand by you like this.
01:02:00So why now?
01:02:02I was afraid if I told you
01:02:03you didn't like me,
01:02:05we wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:02:08And so it's ruined.
01:02:10So when you sat next to me all those years ago,
01:02:12it wasn't because you didn't like your food?
01:02:17Hey, I, uh,
01:02:18don't really like this.
01:02:28Yeah, I...
01:02:30I'm really sorry I shouldn't...
01:02:31couldn't show you my feelings in the proper way.
01:02:35But then...
01:02:37why did you write Summer that love letter back then?
01:02:40What love letter?
01:02:41I...
01:02:42only remember delivering a
01:02:44party invitation to her from my parents.
01:02:47Well, why are all your passwords Summer's birthday?
01:02:49You mean 0903?
01:02:52What does that have to do with Summer?
01:02:54I don't even know her birthday.
01:02:55So then what's 0903 to you?
01:02:57Elisa 0903.
01:02:59September 3rd.
01:03:00It's the day we first met.
01:03:03So it was...
01:03:04it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:03:09So it was...
01:03:10it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:03:12Listen.
01:03:13I love you.
01:03:15I know I tricked you into marrying me.
01:03:19The feelings for you are absolutely true.
01:03:22So,
01:03:23can you try to accept me?
01:03:26I know that our marriage started as a contract, but it...
01:03:29it feels real to me now.
01:03:33I love you.
01:03:34I want to be with you.
01:03:36I want to be with you now, and I want to be with you when we're older.
01:03:41I love you.
01:03:51You're finally mine.
01:03:54I'm yours.
01:04:00I'm yours.
01:04:06Hey.
01:04:07From now on,
01:04:08we're true husband and wife.
01:04:10We don't have to keep our relationship secret in front of our colleagues anymore.
01:04:13Okay.
01:04:18Lucian, I...
01:04:20Elise, you...
01:04:22Summer, I'd like you to meet my wife.
01:04:24What?
01:04:26Elisa and I have actually been married for a long time.
01:04:28So you don't have to send those divisive text messages to my mom anymore.
01:04:31We all like Elisa.
01:04:33So no matter how much you try to sow discord between us,
01:04:36it's never going to work.
01:04:37What text messages? I...
01:04:39I have the evidence, Summer.
01:04:43Now,
01:04:44considering the relationship between our families,
01:04:46I'm going to ask you to go ahead and submit your resignation from your team.
01:04:50As for everyone else,
01:04:53you all get off an hour early today.
01:04:55And you're invited to dinner with my wife.
01:04:58Yay!
