00:00:00Mr. Powell, what are you doing here?
00:00:29You don't seem too thrilled to see me on your birthday.
00:00:33Of course I am, which is what you're supposed to be on a business trip.
00:00:37Since when have I ever missed your birthday? Not a single one since you were 18.
00:00:41Wow, Madeline! Your sugar daddy squirrels you rotten.
00:00:45That diamond must be worth a fortune.
00:00:47Stop it, Joanna. He's not my sugar daddy.
00:00:50Nick is just looking after me like he promised my father before he passed away.
00:00:54Thank you for always being so kind to me.
00:00:59Nicholas treats you way better than Michael.
00:01:02I mean, he didn't even get you a birthday present. He didn't even say happy birthday.
00:01:06You should dump him already.
00:01:07Stop it, Joanna. I've already said yes to Michael's proposal. Can you stop putting him down?
00:01:12You said yes to Michael's proposal?
00:01:15Yes. Do you think it's too soon?
00:01:19Um...
00:01:20A proposal without a ring. It didn't seem serious to me.
00:01:23Besides, didn't your dad arrange a marriage for you before he died?
00:01:27Aren't you gonna go through with it?
00:01:29No. There's no way. I've never even met the guy. I have no idea of who he is.
00:01:36What if that guy is me?
00:01:41Wait, Nick. You and my father were tight, right? You must know who he was.
00:01:46Yeah. I do.
00:01:48Great. Then help me call it off.
00:01:52Are you sure about that?
00:01:54Yes. Michael's the only one I want to marry.
00:02:00If you're happy, I'm happy.
00:02:03Great. I'm gonna call him.
00:02:14Oh, babe.
00:02:16That sounds like... Michael.
00:02:25I wish you would just make up your mind and dump her already.
00:02:28Can't you see? I am the one that you want.
00:02:31I thought we were just having fun. Aren't we?
00:02:35Michael Lambert! You proposed to me yesterday, and today you're here with someone else.
00:02:44Boss.
00:02:45Did you tell Madeline about her dad's wishes?
00:02:49She's not marrying me.
00:02:51But you've been hanging on to Madeline all this time.
00:02:54Why don't you just tell her how you feel?
00:02:56Well, she's getting married, but to someone else.
00:03:01Look, if the guy truly cares for her, I'll let that be.
00:03:07How could you betray me?
00:03:12Madeline.
00:03:13How could you betray me?
00:03:14Betray you? We've been seeing each other for three months.
00:03:17How could you betray me?
00:03:18Betray you? We've been seeing each other for three months.
00:03:21And you don't even let me touch you.
00:03:23I thought the proposal would change things, but then you say we have to wait until after marriage.
00:03:27Come on.
00:03:28You can't blame Michael.
00:03:30He's been holding back for ages.
00:03:32Otherwise he wouldn't have found fun outside of the relationship.
00:03:36This is terrible.
00:03:40Stop pretending, Madeline.
00:03:42You've been seeing your godfather on the sly, haven't you?
00:03:45That's why you wouldn't let me touch you.
00:03:54If you mess with Madeline again, next time won't be so pretty.
00:03:59Come on.
00:04:13Madeline.
00:04:14You just vanished after the call.
00:04:17Julianna.
00:04:19Julianna.
00:04:28He proposed just so he could sleep with me.
00:04:33I thought he was the one.
00:04:35Come on.
00:04:37Stop crying.
00:04:38Michael's a jerk, and he already has someone new.
00:04:41Why waste tears on him?
00:04:43Yeah, right.
00:04:45Michael's a scumbag.
00:04:48He broke my tears.
00:04:52He even said I slept with Nicholas.
00:04:56I'll find someone.
00:04:58Maybe Val will choose me.
00:05:05Look, at home, I'll take care of Madeline.
00:05:08Okay.
00:05:09Okay.
00:05:13Michael dumped me.
00:05:15Okay, just forget about him, alright?
00:05:17You got me here.
00:05:18I'm not going anywhere.
00:05:31I need Madeline.
00:05:33You are wasted. Let's go home.
00:05:35No.
00:05:36No, I need a man.
00:05:38Stop it.
00:05:50Take her home. Oak Street.
00:05:52No, home is the last place I want to go.
00:05:56Okay.
00:06:02My place first.
00:06:04Okay, boss.
00:06:08Okay.
00:06:14Okay.
00:06:17How about you give me another birthday surprise?
00:06:33What are you doing?
00:06:34I'm not drunk.
00:06:37Look at me.
00:06:38I am not Michael.
00:06:40No, you're Nicholas.
00:06:41Stop it.
00:06:42You're drunk.
00:06:44You're boring.
00:07:07Nick, my godfather?
00:07:09I can't believe I slept with him.
00:07:12I've got to leave before he wakes up or this will be super awkward.
00:07:36Today is going to be the day I ask her.
00:08:05Where'd you disappear to last night?
00:08:20I got too drunk and stayed at a friend's house.
00:08:25What's that?
00:08:26It's a mosquito bite.
00:08:30I don't think so, young lady.
00:08:33Did you go on a date with your boyfriend last night?
00:08:36No.
00:08:37I really don't think Michael's the right choice for you.
00:08:42We broke up.
00:08:47You know what?
00:08:49Maybe this is the perfect time.
00:08:51Remember your father set you up with someone?
00:08:53But I thought that was off.
00:08:55I've never even met the guy.
00:08:56I can't get married.
00:08:57That's crazy.
00:08:58He said it was off.
00:09:01He's been waiting for you.
00:09:02Well, don't worry.
00:09:03You know him.
00:09:04Trust me.
00:09:05You won't regret it.
00:09:06But you're not the one getting married.
00:09:08How can you make such promises?
00:09:10No more excuses.
00:09:11He's on his way.
00:09:12So get yourself together.
00:09:13But...
00:09:14He's here.
00:09:15Get the door.
00:09:16There is no way I'm marrying someone I've never met before.
00:09:33Mr. Pell, what are you doing here?
00:09:41Wait.
00:09:42Are you my fiancé?
00:09:45You knew?
00:09:46No.
00:09:47I certainly did not.
00:09:48Oh.
00:09:51Do you know my man?
00:10:03Are you going to chat with Nicolas, honey?
00:10:08What's wrong, sweetie?
00:10:10You were smitten with him when you met him at your 18th birthday.
00:10:13I thought it was love at first sight.
00:10:16Mom.
00:10:17I thought he was just Dad's friend then.
00:10:20I didn't...
00:10:21I didn't know he was my fiancé.
00:10:25Well, now you do.
00:10:29What?
00:10:31You don't like him?
00:10:35It's not that I don't like him.
00:10:38I just...
00:10:41We'll get to know him better.
00:10:50Well, I'll leave you to it and get back to my room.
00:10:57Hey.
00:10:59Look at me. What's wrong?
00:11:02I just...
00:11:03I didn't expect you to be my fiancé.
00:11:07You didn't seem too bothered by that last night when you were pushing me out of the bed.
00:11:12Stop it.
00:11:13My mom doesn't know anything about that.
00:11:15If she finds out I was out with you all day...
00:11:17She's trying to get us hit.
00:11:19She's not going to have a problem with it.
00:11:23I just...
00:11:24Why didn't you tell me about the engagement?
00:11:29I'm 13 years older than you, Mel.
00:11:32I assumed that you might have better options.
00:11:35And you just broke up with Michael yesterday.
00:11:37I thought it might be too much, too soon.
00:11:41But...
00:11:43Maybe...
00:11:46We can give it a try?
00:11:59Does the age gap bother you?
00:12:02I'll get it.
00:12:08Michael, what are you doing here?
00:12:13Madeline, look, I know I messed up. I'm sorry.
00:12:16Can you give me another chance?
00:12:18No, I want you out of my life!
00:12:20Look, last night, that woman, she came on to me.
00:12:23I was wasted. I thought she was you.
00:12:25Michael, I'm not stupid.
00:12:27Don't blame me for a fool.
00:12:28I knew you were cheating on me.
00:12:30Stop lying!
00:12:31You're such a jerk!
00:12:35We have a booking with the caterer. Let's go.
00:12:40How dare you? Get lost!
00:12:42You kicked me?
00:12:48You stay away from Madeline.
00:12:49Or did you not learn from last time?
00:12:51She is my fiancé.
00:12:53What business do you have interfering?
00:12:55Ex-fiancé.
00:12:56He's my fiancé now.
00:13:03Oh, come on, Madeline. Stop pretending.
00:13:05When's this whole wedding thing gonna happen, huh?
00:13:07We're getting married today.
00:13:09Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:13:11It's not gonna work.
00:13:13I mean it.
00:13:15How much did she pay you?
00:13:17I'll double it.
00:13:18You can't afford me.
00:13:20Really?
00:13:21You're gonna dump me for him?
00:13:23Are you dumb?
00:13:26I'm sorry.
00:13:34Stop it!
00:13:35What is your problem?
00:13:37You called me a cheater!
00:13:39You must have been seeing him the whole damn time.
00:13:41Back off, Michael.
00:13:43You got five seconds to get out of here or I'm calling the cops.
00:13:46Fine.
00:13:47Plenty of other women to have fun with out there anyway.
00:13:51I'm sorry.
00:13:52I shouldn't have kissed you with that eye.
00:13:54No worries.
00:13:58So, Madeline, about the marriage thing.
00:14:01You sure about it?
00:14:02Because there's no turning back.
00:14:07Because there's no turning back.
00:14:09What do you mean?
00:14:11Well, if I'm gonna get married, I'm only gonna do it once.
00:14:14So I want you to think it over.
00:14:16Don't rush into anything.
00:14:18No, let's do it. Let's get married.
00:14:21It was my dad's wish anyway, and I trust his judgment.
00:14:25And I know you're gonna take care of me.
00:14:27I want this.
00:14:29The sound of heartbeats.
00:14:32This is your choice.
00:14:34No turning back.
00:14:49I have something to tell you.
00:14:55What?
00:14:57You married Nicholas yesterday?
00:14:59Who am I supposed to know yet?
00:15:01Oh my gosh, this is insane.
00:15:03He's, like, way older than you.
00:15:05So?
00:15:07Was he good last night?
00:15:09Yeah, he was.
00:15:10He was?
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12He was?
00:15:13Yeah.
00:15:14He was?
00:15:15Yeah.
00:15:16Was he good last night?
00:15:18Yeah.
00:15:20No, we, uh, we didn't sleep together.
00:15:23Does he have, like, erectile dysfunction or something?
00:15:29Erectile dysfunction?
00:15:30No.
00:15:31We got the marriage certificate, and then he had to go on business trip.
00:15:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:15:36Madeline, if he's not treating you well, I will whoop his butt, no matter who he is.
00:15:41Ain't.
00:15:43Gotta get you a belated wedding gift.
00:15:46What is it?
00:15:48You'll see soon enough.
00:15:50Surprise.
00:16:05Juliana is such a tease for sending me lingerie.
00:16:14Hello?
00:16:26Whoa.
00:16:27Careful.
00:16:36Why are you home so suddenly?
00:16:38I finished work.
00:16:39I came straight home.
00:16:41What's with the, uh...
00:16:45It's Juliana's wedding gift.
00:16:48I'll return it in the morning.
00:16:50Oh. I mean, you're already wearing it.
00:16:53Maybe you could keep it on?
00:16:58I'm sorry I missed you on the work trip.
00:17:01But, uh, I gotta make it up to you.
00:17:07It's fine.
00:17:09Oh, really?
00:17:11Well, we gotta make the most of it.
00:17:13I'm gonna go change.
00:17:19Such a tease.
00:17:25Okay, breathe.
00:17:27We've already done it once. No big deal.
00:17:31What are you looking at?
00:17:33Uh, your designs. They're on the bed.
00:17:36Just rough designs. Nothing special. Let's go to sleep.
00:17:49Seriously, just fall asleep like that?
00:17:55Was he just teasing me earlier? I thought he wanted to...
00:17:59Never mind.
00:18:29What goes up...
00:18:39Oh. Hey. Good morning.
00:18:48Yes, this is she.
00:18:51I passed the first interview for the PAL Group's design department?
00:18:54Yes, I'll get ready for the next round.
00:18:56Thank you!
00:18:59You were interviewing at my company?
00:19:01Yeah.
00:19:03Why didn't you tell me?
00:19:05I wanted to do it on my own.
00:19:08Well, you're more than capable.
00:19:10I checked your designs last night. Very creative.
00:19:13We need designers like you.
00:19:15Really? You're not just saying that to be nice, are you?
00:19:21Have some faith in yourself.
00:19:23Come meet the design director this afternoon at three, okay?
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:40Madeline? What are you doing here?
00:19:42Personal business.
00:19:44Oh, come to win me back, have we?
00:19:46Please, leave me alone. I'm married.
00:19:51Married? You?
00:19:55Hi, I'm here for the three p.m. interview.
00:19:57Do you have an appointment?
00:19:59No, Mr. Powell asked me to come in.
00:20:01Oh, really? How do you know Mr. Powell?
00:20:05Could you please contact the design director for me?
00:20:08How hilarious.
00:20:10You know, you, a recent graduate with no project experience,
00:20:14how could you possibly have an interview with the design director?
00:20:18I can't find your appointment in this system.
00:20:21Try contacting Mr. Powell directly.
00:20:28Leave that shirt out.
00:20:29I need you to go and make sure all retailers know exactly who you are.
00:20:36Weird. No answer.
00:20:38Give me a break. Stop pretending.
00:20:41Honestly, she's just a recent graduate with no project experience.
00:20:45She couldn't possibly have an interview here, or even know Mr. Powell.
00:20:49Miss, if you don't actually have an appointment, I'm going to ask you to leave.
00:20:53Please, just give me a second. I'm sure he'll pick up his suit.
00:20:56Still playing pretend, Madeline. Then tell us, how do you know Mr. Powell?
00:21:00Better not reveal my connection to Nicholas at the company. It wouldn't be good for him.
00:21:05That's none of your business.
00:21:07So you couldn't keep your sugar daddy satisfied, and now you're here to seduce Mr. Powell.
00:21:12Michael Lambert, you are absolutely disgusting.
00:21:15Well, you clearly don't have an appointment here, so you need to leave.
00:21:28Let's do this.
00:21:29Thank you, guys.
00:21:43Has my wife shown up for the interview yet?
00:21:45The design director said she hasn't.
00:21:49I'll go check it out.
00:21:53Fine, just...
00:21:57Give me my phone back.
00:21:59I don't have it. I'm on condition.
00:22:02What's that?
00:22:03One night with me.
00:22:06Nice try, but no.
00:22:08Don't try and reject me, Madeline. I know you want me.
00:22:17I told you to stay the hell away from her.
00:22:22I told you to stay the hell away from her.
00:22:25God, you again. I can't believe you followed her here.
00:22:28Look, this is the prestigious Powell Group, and...
00:22:34Who the hell do you think you are?
00:22:36You do not call the shots here.
00:22:39You okay?
00:22:40I'm fine.
00:22:41I'm the one handling HR for this company. You hit me, and you're done for.
00:22:46You're the one who's bothering me. I'm the one with the interview, and you're bothering me for no reason.
00:22:51An interview, you say? Who are you kidding, Madeline?
00:22:54You said Mr. Powell set it up. Well, I think you two are a bunch of scammers.
00:22:59What she said is legit.
00:23:02Then call Mr. Powell to prove it.
00:23:08Good afternoon, Mr. Powell.
00:23:14You're Mr. Powell?
00:23:19You're Mr. Powell?
00:23:21What's going on?
00:23:22Mr. Powell, she doesn't have an interview schedule.
00:23:25Mr. Michael Lambert thought she was faking it and asked me to call security to usher her out of the building.
00:23:32He's just bitter because I broke up with him.
00:23:35Him. Mr. Powell.
00:23:38Mr. Powell likes to stay under the radar. He only shows up for big meetings.
00:23:42And you, Human Resources, huh? Guess you don't read the company's manuals.
00:23:47You are fired. Get your stuff and leave now.
00:23:51No, no, no, Mr. Powell, look, I made a mistake, all right? I can explain. Madeline, come on, we used to have something.
00:23:57Don't you ever touch her again.
00:23:59I won't. I swear.
00:24:01She's my wife now. And if you keep messing with her, I will make sure you never get another job in HR again. Or any job.
00:24:08I will make sure you never get another job in HR again. Or any job.
00:24:17Get rid of him now.
00:24:18Mr. Powell, please, I made a mistake, all right? Give me another chance.
00:24:23Director resigned waiting for you in the interview room.
00:24:32Is mentioning our marriage at work really a good idea?
00:24:35The cat's already out of the bag. I'm not hiding you.
00:24:38But...
00:24:40What?
00:24:44You don't want to tell people that I'm your husband?
00:24:47No, I just... I don't want it to backfire on you.
00:24:51People might say the only reason I got this job was because of you.
00:24:55Listen, I believe in your talent. Forget what people say. Your opinion really matters to me.
00:25:03Ray...
00:25:09Ray...
00:25:21Who are you supposed to be?
00:25:22Hi. I'm here for the interview.
00:25:25Alone? I thought I heard Mr. Powell.
00:25:27No, no. Just me.
00:25:30All right, then. Come on in.
00:25:38So she's Mr. Powell's wife. She seems so young.
00:25:43Here are my designs. I hope you like them.
00:25:51I really dig your designs. Let's get the ball rolling.
00:25:55Thank you, Mr. Fowler. That means a lot.
00:25:59Have a good day.
00:26:09Hello. I've got an interview, but I was running late. I'm Kaylee.
00:26:14Michael promised me he'd pull some strings to land me a sweet gig.
00:26:18Another one? Did I mix them up?
00:26:21Is she the real Mrs. Powell?
00:26:26Wow. She looks way more mature. Definitely Mr. Powell's wife.
00:26:32Sir, I get it. I'm attractive, but I'm taken. And trust me, you do not want to cross him.
00:26:41So she's Mr. Powell's wife.
00:26:44Sorry about that. I'm Terry Fowler, the design director. Please take a seat.
00:26:51This won't take long.
00:26:52Okay.
00:26:53Looks like Michael wasn't bluffing. He's a real big shot here.
00:26:57Even the director is being so nice to me.
00:27:10What's going on?
00:27:11I just got hired by your company.
00:27:28Oh, there's a little something. Here.
00:27:33What was I thinking? Did I really believe he was going to kiss me?
00:27:38I, uh, should probably go change.
00:27:42Wait. Let's get you some new outfits.
00:27:46I'm sorry.
00:27:47No, it's okay.
00:27:48I'm sorry.
00:27:49I'm sorry.
00:27:50I'm sorry.
00:27:51I'm sorry.
00:27:52I'm sorry.
00:27:53I'm sorry.
00:27:54I'm sorry.
00:27:55Let's get you some new outfits.
00:27:57Now? Are we going to hit the mall?
00:28:04Hey, bring over the latest women's styles.
00:28:17Why all this?
00:28:18Because you're starting a new job.
00:28:20You need a killer style to match.
00:28:24It's not necessary.
00:28:26Come on.
00:28:29Try these on.
00:28:31I mean this one.
00:28:33Just so you know.
00:28:53I'm sorry.
00:28:54I'm sorry.
00:28:55Mr. Pao, I found these great work outfits for your wife.
00:29:24I mean, whoa.
00:29:26Sorry.
00:29:29Carry on.
00:29:30I'm so sorry.
00:29:31I didn't mean to.
00:29:32Relax.
00:29:37I'll drive you to the office tomorrow.
00:29:42Nicholas is so sweet.
00:29:43I've been finding it hard not to fall for him.
00:29:51Here, let me out here.
00:29:52Why? We're almost there.
00:29:57Wait a minute, is that Mr. Pao's car?
00:29:59I just, I don't want anyone to see us together.
00:30:01I'm the office new girl and I want to keep a low profile.
00:30:04Catch you tonight?
00:30:13No way.
00:30:14Who's dropping Mrs. Pao off at work?
00:30:23And I said, we have to have our samples at the start of the month.
00:30:25We can't have them at the end of the month.
00:30:27No.
00:30:28Hi, Mr. Fowler.
00:30:29Good morning.
00:30:32You're rocking that dress too.
00:30:34What's wrong with it?
00:30:36Is she Mr. Pao's wife?
00:30:41Watch it.
00:30:47You?
00:30:48What are you doing here?
00:30:50You took the words right out of my mouth.
00:30:52I'm the designer that Mr. Fowler brought in personally.
00:30:55And you?
00:30:56How did you even get into the Pao group?
00:30:58I knocked that interview out of the park and I...
00:31:00Oh, please.
00:31:01Tricks, maybe.
00:31:03And you're copying my style.
00:31:07This is a designer piece.
00:31:09Super limited.
00:31:10My partner scored it for me at a high-end boutique.
00:31:13There is no way you could afford it.
00:31:16Is Michael that generous?
00:31:20I just hope she doesn't realize my clothes aren't the real ones.
00:31:30So I wasn't mistaken.
00:31:31Kaylee is Mr. Pao's wife.
00:31:35Kaylee Pittman.
00:31:37Meet Madeline Warren, our new recruit.
00:31:39Do you two know each other?
00:31:41No.
00:31:42Not at all.
00:31:43Mr. Fowler, maybe you should rethink your standards a little.
00:31:47How can a fashion designer wear such obvious knockoffs?
00:31:51What knockoffs?
00:31:52Madeline, I am aware that you just graduated and perhaps a bit strapped for cash.
00:31:57I will overlook it this time, but won't let it slide again.
00:32:01But I...
00:32:04Stella, can you show our new teammates where to get settled?
00:32:09I'm Stella Thomas, one of the senior designers.
00:32:11Don't hesitate to ask me anything.
00:32:13Hi. Can you show me to my desk?
00:32:17It's over there.
00:32:22Let me show you to your desk.
00:32:24After you.
00:32:25Oh, you're incredibly gracious, Mrs. Powell.
00:32:31Wait. What?
00:32:33I heard Mr. Powell tied the knot and brought his wife to the design team.
00:32:36That's you, right?
00:32:37Yep. Mr. Powell said to take really good care of you.
00:32:40You're married to Mr. Powell and still so driven? That's...
00:32:43So they think I'm Nicholas Powell's wife.
00:32:46Perfect. With Michael gone, I'll need someone to be my support.
00:32:51Look, I'd rather just keep things low-key around here.
00:32:54So call me Kaylee, not Mrs. Powell.
00:32:57Of course. Sure thing.
00:33:00There's a fantastic restaurant downstairs.
00:33:02Perfect. Let's do lunch together.
00:33:04Let's do it. Let's go.
00:33:06I'm starving.
00:33:09Then you should grab a bite.
00:33:11I'm starving.
00:33:33Then you should grab a bite.
00:33:35What are you doing here?
00:33:37Brought you some lunch.
00:33:40Why is this such a mess?
00:33:41Are you not getting any support from your team?
00:33:43No, it's fine.
00:33:44The corner's quiet.
00:33:45I like it.
00:33:46Seriously?
00:33:47Yes.
00:33:48Wait, you should get out.
00:33:52Someone might see you.
00:33:53Mr. Powell.
00:33:54What are you doing here?
00:33:55Mr. Powell.
00:33:56What are you doing here?
00:33:57I was just bringing my wife some lunch.
00:33:58Wow.
00:33:59Mr. Powell, you're a real gentleman.
00:34:00I'm sorry.
00:34:01I'm sorry.
00:34:02I'm sorry.
00:34:03I'm sorry.
00:34:04I'm sorry.
00:34:05I'm sorry.
00:34:06I'm sorry.
00:34:07I'm sorry.
00:34:08I'm sorry.
00:34:09I'm sorry.
00:34:10Mr. Powell really loves his wife.
00:34:14On the bonus, I'll get him next time.
00:34:22That was way too close.
00:34:30You need to finish these off before the end of the day.
00:34:33Kaylee, this is your work.
00:34:36Do it yourself.
00:34:38Madeline, you're new. You need to show that you can handle more around here.
00:34:43If I do all of her work, what's left for her to do?
00:34:47I have a... appointment. I need to leave early. Yeah, right.
00:34:53Of course. We can't let you miss that.
00:34:57Seriously, Kaylee? Dumping all this work on me so you can go on a date with Michael?
00:35:02Michael? The HR guy that just got fired?
00:35:06What's going on between you two?
00:35:11What's going on between you two?
00:35:13Michael got fired and lied to me about quitting.
00:35:17I don't know him, but Madeline does. That used to be a thing.
00:35:23We broke up ages ago. My husband is Nick.
00:35:26Keep calm, girl. Don't expose your relationship with Nicholas because of them.
00:35:31Nick who? Don't tell me Nicholas is your husband.
00:35:35Madeline, you think we don't know? Mr. Powell's wife is right here.
00:35:39Wait. They already know?
00:35:41Enough. Don't waste your breath on her.
00:35:47I want these done by tomorrow morning.
00:35:53Fine. Let them challenge me. I'll make it an opportunity to grow.
00:36:06Poor Madeline. I'll return Michael to you. No need to thank me.
00:36:18Hey, I'm sorry. I've got a few things to wrap up here. You go on without me.
00:36:23What's going on?
00:36:25It's nothing. It's just settling into a new job. It's a lot to take in at first.
00:36:32Alright. I'll wait for you at home.
00:36:56Why isn't she home yet?
00:36:58Why isn't she home yet?
00:37:01Why doesn't she answer her calls?
00:37:16Michael, what are you doing here?
00:37:20Madeline, I can't get you out of my mind.
00:37:23Weren't you fired? How did you get in here?
00:37:25Oh, drop the tough act. Kaylee said you still like me.
00:37:29What nonsense are you talking about?
00:37:32If you don't step back, I'm calling security.
00:37:35Oh, it's late. It's just us.
00:37:40You remember Nicholas's wife, right? He's the CEO.
00:37:44Oh, I know him.
00:37:47Madeline, let's be real. Nicholas may be rich, but he's old. He can't give you what you really want.
00:37:53I could be your little secret if you let me.
00:37:56Just one night, and I promise you'll never go back.
00:38:08What is Michael doing here?
00:38:10Madeline can't get over him, but bring him to the office.
00:38:18How dare you! I will never get back with you!
00:38:22Seriously, how many women have you used besides Kaylee? You're repulsive!
00:38:26You crazy bitch! You kicked me again!
00:38:30Honestly, walking in on you was the best decision I ever made.
00:38:33Madeline! I think you can't run away.
00:38:36No!
00:38:37Nick!
00:38:41You can't walk away from me!
00:38:43No!
00:38:44Nick, why are you here?
00:38:46Usually you'd be home by now, so I came looking for you.
00:38:50I warned you, Michael. Do you have a death wish?
00:38:52No. It's not like that.
00:38:55She called me. She said she missed me and wanted me to be her lover.
00:39:01That's absurd! Nick has morals, financially stable, and handsome.
00:39:06Madeline, I'm younger. I've got more stamina, and at least I can get it up.
00:39:13You have no idea what you're talking about!
00:39:16Enough. Save it for the cops.
00:39:19No. No. No!
00:39:21Stop right there!
00:39:22Let him go. He won't get far.
00:39:31I feel like I'm always causing you trouble.
00:39:35Michael's the problem, not you.
00:39:38Thank you for coming.
00:39:41Thank you for coming. I'm really glad you're here.
00:39:44Don't count on me.
00:39:47I'm younger. I've got more stamina, and at least I can get it up.
00:39:56You look wiped out. Let's get you home.
00:39:59Okay.
00:40:01You're so young. Full of dreams.
00:40:07Am I really the man for you, or am I just holding you back?
00:40:31You'll need to polish these up, too.
00:40:33Seriously, Kaylee? I spent all night on these designs.
00:40:38That's it? Nothing else happened?
00:40:41What are you talking about?
00:40:43Oh, come on. Don't play coy. I know Michael came by. You two back on?
00:40:49Never! What? How did you even know he was here?
00:40:55Did you call him?
00:41:00Did you call him?
00:41:04Kaylee, are you out of your mind?
00:41:07You knew I was working late, and yet you still called Michael to come over in the middle of the night.
00:41:11Are you insane? What were you trying to do?
00:41:14I was just trying to help you two patch things up.
00:41:18How can you be so ungrateful?
00:41:20I'm telling Mr. Fowler this.
00:41:23You think Mr. Fowler is going to take your side over mine?
00:41:28Mr. Fowler wants you to finish these, like yesterday already.
00:41:46Where is she?
00:41:58Are the newcomers really that busy, or is she dodging me?
00:42:08Mr. Powell, is everything okay between you and your wife?
00:42:13She seems to be leaving early and coming back home late a lot.
00:42:19No, we're not fighting. It's complicated.
00:42:23What's going on?
00:42:25I just don't think we're a good match, you know?
00:42:29I try to keep my distance since the wedding, and she's so young.
00:42:34What if she regrets marrying me one day?
00:42:37Mr. Powell, you're overthinking all of this.
00:42:41You and your wife just need to talk it out.
00:42:46Seriously?
00:42:48Seriously.
00:42:53Well, tomorrow I could go to the design department.
00:42:56Perfect chance to speak with her.
00:43:10Here's the latest batch. Finish them quickly.
00:43:13I...
00:43:15Hey, guys. Mr. Powell is swinging by soon for an inspection.
00:43:21Mr. Powell never comes and checks at our department. He's definitely here for you.
00:43:25You think so?
00:43:27I've got to dodge this, or my secret's toast.
00:43:31I'll be right back. I've just got a thing to handle.
00:43:34What's more important than seeing Mr. Powell? You have to hype me up to him later.
00:43:39Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:43:41Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:43:46So this is Nicholas Powell. Wow, he's a real stud.
00:43:51Mr. Powell, your wife is right here.
00:43:56Oh my God, she fainted!
00:44:01Madeline!
00:44:06Madeline!
00:44:08Madeline?
00:44:10Nick.
00:44:12Are you okay?
00:44:14My head's spinning like a top.
00:44:16Yeah, I got it.
00:44:25Why did Mr. Powell ignore you and carry Madeline off?
00:44:30Well, she fainted.
00:44:33We've got to make sure she's okay.
00:44:36If something goes wrong here at the Powell Group, we could all get the blame for it.
00:44:40That's very true. Mr. Powell's got a good head on his shoulders.
00:44:43Or maybe Madeline's playing a game and trying to get close to Mr. Powell.
00:44:46Stop gossiping. Let's not assume or jump to conclusions.
00:44:50Come on, she's just a newbie. She can't be that worn out.
00:44:56Honestly, my marriage is a wreck right now.
00:45:02Madeline is the other woman.
00:45:06What? Are you saying Madeline's been seducing Mr. Powell this entire time?
00:45:12No wonder Madeline wore the same outfit as Kaylee that day.
00:45:16She totally planned that.
00:45:18Madeline gets back, she's out.
00:45:20She's a shameless homewrecker.
00:45:22I can't stand being in the same department with someone like her.
00:45:25You all shouldn't get involved.
00:45:28I mean, he may have brought her into the company.
00:45:31If this blows up, he could divorce me on the spot.
00:45:36You might all get dragged into this too.
00:45:39So, it's best to act like you don't know anything.
00:45:42Karma is bound to catch up with someone like Madeline the homewrecker.
00:45:46When Mr. Powell gets to his senses, he'll leave her.
00:45:49Thanks for having my back.
00:46:02She's just overworked and exhausted. A bit of rest and she'll be fine, okay?
00:46:07Alright, thank you.
00:46:11Don't go.
00:46:20I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here next to you.
00:46:25You scared me when you fainted.
00:46:28You scared me when you fainted.
00:46:31You've been working long hours at the offices.
00:46:34Is there someone in the design department that's bothering you?
00:46:39Is there someone in the design department that's bothering you?
00:46:42No.
00:46:45You need to be honest with me.
00:46:47You can't fool me.
00:46:49A newbie in the design department doesn't work these hours.
00:46:52It's not normal for you to be working this hard.
00:46:55Okay.
00:46:57Someone is making things a bit overwhelming for me.
00:47:01I want to sort it out myself.
00:47:03But you've just passed out. If you keep this up, it's...
00:47:06I won't. I swear.
00:47:08If you say so.
00:47:11But if you can't handle it, you need to tell me.
00:47:13I will. I promise.
00:47:16Please open up to me.
00:47:20You take the bedroom tonight. I'll take the rest of the guest house.
00:47:23We're married.
00:47:25We shared the bed before. What's the problem?
00:47:29You need your rest. You need to focus on yourself.
00:47:50Am I not what he wants anymore?
00:47:53Is he having second thoughts about marrying me?
00:48:00Wait, what?
00:48:01Nicholas hasn't touched you since the wedding.
00:48:04Yeah. He's still nice to me.
00:48:07Something's different now. I don't know.
00:48:10It feels like he might regret marrying me.
00:48:12Like, he's not into me anymore.
00:48:15Don't sweat it. You can turn this around.
00:48:18But first you gotta tell me. Do you actually like Nicholas?
00:48:23Yeah. He's so nice and supportive.
00:48:27He's always there for me.
00:48:30I can't picture my life without him.
00:48:33I'm totally falling for him.
00:48:35If you're into him, it's easy.
00:48:37I'll give you tips to make Nicholas head over heels for you.
00:48:40Seriously? How?
00:48:49I brought you some milk.
00:48:52Thanks.
00:48:57Did it burn you?
00:48:59Ouch. It really hurts.
00:49:02Okay, I'll go get some ointment.
00:49:05No need for that.
00:49:07I'm fine.
00:49:09I'm fine.
00:49:11I'm fine.
00:49:13I'm fine.
00:49:15I'm fine.
00:49:17No need for that.
00:49:19I'll be fine. I promise.
00:49:22I'll still go get some ointment. I don't want you to scar.
00:49:37Are you sure this is what you want?
00:49:39Don't start with that.
00:49:47Okay.
00:49:53Morning. Still tired?
00:49:58Crap. I'm gonna be late.
00:50:10I gotta go.
00:50:18Give me an update on the design department.
00:50:21I want to know who's messing with my wife.
00:50:24Give me an update on the design department.
00:50:26I want to know who's messing with my wife.
00:50:51Listen up everyone, I got news.
00:50:53Next quarter's design exhibition has been bumped up.
00:50:57We need theme collections.
00:50:59And there's a $10,000 bonus to the winner.
00:51:02No way!
00:51:07Seriously? Shouldn't we have some standards?
00:51:10We shouldn't have to compete with some people.
00:51:19Who are you referring to?
00:51:21If you've got a problem, say it straight to my face.
00:51:24Fine.
00:51:26A mistress like you doesn't belong in the same exhibition as us.
00:51:31Mistress? Me?
00:51:34What? You're not?
00:51:36You better explain yourself. Why are you calling me that?
00:51:39Madeline, enough!
00:51:41You're green. Fresh out of school.
00:51:44It's better if you sit this one out, just in case your designs get laughed at.
00:51:48Laughed at? The only one getting laughed at is you.
00:51:51My designs are the first to be picked.
00:51:54And you, Kaylee? You haven't even finished a single piece, have you?
00:51:59You! I'm going to that exhibition.
00:52:02And don't even think about sabotaging me or my work.
00:52:14You've got more patience than I do.
00:52:16If that were me, I would have slapped her right there and then.
00:52:19Don't worry. She'll regret it soon enough.
00:52:47What's wrong? Can't sleep?
00:52:50The design exhibition is tomorrow. I'm freaking out a little.
00:52:54Relax.
00:52:56You got this.
00:53:17Each designer will present their concept.
00:53:20The judges, including myself, will give scores and feedback.
00:53:24Relax. You've got this.
00:53:27Let's bring up our first designer, Kaylee Pittman.
00:53:46Good afternoon, judges.
00:53:53My design is inspired by the simplicity of daisies.
00:53:57Wait.
00:54:01Those are my designs.
00:54:04Daisies stand for beauty and innocence.
00:54:09I hope that whoever wears this feels the beauty of life.
00:54:17Miss Pittman, your designs are so creative.
00:54:22They're not unique, but they capture the idea of a perfect life.
00:54:28I'm leaning towards a perfect score.
00:54:32Ten.
00:54:34Thank you. Thank you.
00:54:36Could you tell us what your inspiration was?
00:54:39Of course. The idea came from my late grandmother.
00:54:43Daisies were her favorite.
00:54:45And her last wish was to wear something designed by me.
00:54:51She's lying.
00:54:53She's lying. These aren't her designs.
00:54:56These are mine. Kaylee stole them.
00:54:58Madeline, your behavior is unacceptable.
00:55:01You're cut from the exhibition.
00:55:03What? Why am I disqualified?
00:55:05Your designs are exactly like Kaylee's.
00:55:07But she straight up copied me.
00:55:09That's enough. Kaylee managed to submit her work before yours.
00:55:13How on earth could she have copied your work?
00:55:20Kaylee managed to submit her work before yours.
00:55:23How on earth could she have copied your work?
00:55:26Can you believe her?
00:55:28She has the nerve to steal Kaylee's design and then slander her like that.
00:55:32Kaylee needs my help to finish her sketch.
00:55:36How on earth could I plagiarize her?
00:55:38She's lying through her teeth.
00:55:39All these sketches are mine.
00:55:41I have no clue when Kaylee stole them.
00:55:43But she's the real thief here.
00:55:45Madeline, this is no time for drama.
00:55:48Just leave.
00:55:50No, I'm not going anywhere.
00:55:52Everything I've said is the truth.
00:55:54The one who needs to go isn't me.
00:55:56Enough.
00:56:00Madeline, how could a newbie like you whip up something this good?
00:56:04The daisy?
00:56:05That's not even a design concept.
00:56:07That's just my personal signature.
00:56:09It's on all of my sketches.
00:56:11And I can prove it.
00:56:17Alright, let's see what you've got.
00:56:19Absolutely.
00:56:29Kaylee, have you lost your mind?
00:56:31Your designs deserve none of our time.
00:56:33You must have stolen my ideas all along.
00:56:35Then why trash my sketches?
00:56:37Scared everyone will see the truth?
00:56:39I just don't want to waste time listening to your lies.
00:56:43Mr. Fowler, Madeline has been after me for way too long.
00:56:46She needs to go.
00:56:49You're right, she's a disgrace to this company.
00:56:51Madeline, you're fired.
00:56:53Not until we sort this out.
00:56:55I want to see the security footage.
00:56:57Don't even waste your time on her.
00:56:59She's just stirring up drama like always.
00:57:01Mr. Fowler, call security.
00:57:03No need for security.
00:57:05I'll handle this.
00:57:09Don't you dare.
00:57:14Don't you dare.
00:57:17Mr. Powell, what are you doing here?
00:57:20Oh no.
00:57:21This is a total nightmare.
00:57:23Why is Nicholas here?
00:57:26Terry, how dare you treat Madeline like that?
00:57:28Are you trying to get yourself fired?
00:57:30Mr. Powell, Madeline's got to go.
00:57:31She has no moral compass.
00:57:33Not only did she plagiarize, but also she...
00:57:36Also what?
00:57:38Just plagiarism is enough to let her go.
00:57:41Exactly, Mr. Powell.
00:57:42It's company policy.
00:57:44No exceptions for Madeline.
00:57:45And it's not fair to the rest of us.
00:57:47Especially Kaylee.
00:57:49Kaylee's the one who plagiarized, not me.
00:57:52Have you gotten proof?
00:57:54I had proof. Kaylee ripped it up.
00:57:56Let's get the surveillance from the design department.
00:57:59Right away, Mr. Powell.
00:58:03Mr. Powell, the video surveillance has suspiciously been wiped off.
00:58:11Lucky for me, I took care of those cameras beforehand.
00:58:14It would have been a real mess otherwise.
00:58:18Look, I get it, okay?
00:58:21You like Madeline.
00:58:23But you can't defend her without evidence.
00:58:26Mr. Powell, Kaylee has brilliant skills.
00:58:29There's no denying that.
00:58:31What's that got to do with me?
00:58:33Mr. Powell, you have been quite harsh on her.
00:58:35This is my fight.
00:58:36Why are you dragging him in?
00:58:38Because you need to own up.
00:58:40Just admit that you plagiarized.
00:58:43Well, maybe we should do some live designing together.
00:58:46A quick comparison with the design will make things clearer.
00:58:50That's way too complicated.
00:58:52Go grab some paper and pens, will you?
00:58:57All right, let's go with a theme of daisies.
00:59:01Create a design draft on the spot.
00:59:27Kaylee, what in the world is that?
00:59:30Well, that's obvious.
00:59:32Kaylee can't even sketch a decent design.
00:59:34She's the real plagiarist here.
00:59:38I messed up!
00:59:39Mr. Powell, Kaylee might have stopped by a copy,
00:59:42but maybe she only did it because she was upset about your secret affair with Madeline.
00:59:47Terry, that is not true.
00:59:49Kaylee is the real plagiarist here.
00:59:51Maybe she only did it because she was upset about your secret affair with Madeline.
00:59:55Terry, that is ridiculous.
00:59:57You told me to look after your wife. What happened to that?
01:00:00How dare you bring that up?
01:00:02Did you even take care of her?
01:00:04Well, I'm right here, supporting her.
01:00:10Wait.
01:00:11You think Nicholas' wife is Kaylee?
01:00:16Yeah, isn't she?
01:00:18I am Nicholas's...
01:00:20Madeline, you're too young to be in this mess.
01:00:23Why would you choose to wreck their marriage?
01:00:26Excuse me?
01:00:28Who said that Madeline is my mistress?
01:00:31I haven't even met who this woman is.
01:00:34What the hell?
01:00:36You had us all believe you were Mr. Powell's wife.
01:00:39You're the one that mistook me for Madeline.
01:00:42You're Mr. Powell's wife.
01:00:44You're the one that mistook me for her.
01:00:46It's not my fault you're clueless.
01:00:49And you let us all believe that.
01:00:51You knew we were wrong and you didn't say anything.
01:00:53How could you?
01:00:54Please.
01:00:55You were piling on Madeline too.
01:00:57Don't act all high and mighty with me.
01:00:59Enough.
01:01:01I'm done with both of you.
01:01:03You're both fired. Pack your things and get out.
01:01:05No.
01:01:07You can't.
01:01:08Mr. Powell, I...
01:01:10And I nearly threw Madeline underneath the bus.
01:01:12Forgive me?
01:01:14I'm really sorry.
01:01:15Apologize to my wife.
01:01:17Not me.
01:01:22Mrs. Powell, I'm truly sorry.
01:01:24Can you please forgive me?
01:01:26Yeah, we're really sorry, Mrs. Powell.
01:01:28We messed up big time.
01:01:29Please, Mrs. Powell, we screwed up.
01:01:30It won't happen again.
01:01:33What's wrong?
01:01:35You don't look so good.
01:01:37I just got a bit worked up.
01:01:39Just tired.
01:01:40Want me to take you out?
01:01:41No.
01:01:42I'll be fine.
01:01:43Just give me a minute.
01:01:44We have to go.
01:01:52Well, Mrs. Powell, looks like you're expecting.
01:01:56I'm not expecting.
01:01:58I'm expecting.
01:02:01Wow, really?
01:02:04A little over a month now.
01:02:06It's time to take it easy, rest up, and watch what you're eating, okay?
01:02:10Okay, I can do that.
01:02:12And Mr. Powell, please take her in for a proper check-up soon, okay?
01:02:16Of course. Thank you, doctor.
01:02:21Nick, we're having a baby.
01:02:24Baby.
01:02:29You don't seem happy.
01:02:33You don't seem happy.
01:02:36No, I'm happy.
01:02:40Okay, great.
01:02:41Then let's go to the hospital later and we'll get everything checked out.
01:02:44Yeah, sure.
01:02:45I'll go get that arranged.
01:02:55Hey, Juliana, I'm going to be a mom.
01:02:58You're pregnant?
01:02:59Congrats.
01:03:01Thanks.
01:03:03And of course, you're going to be my baby's cod mom.
01:03:05Obviously.
01:03:07Speaking of which, how's Nicholas handling this?
01:03:09I mean, the future Powell, Aaron all.
01:03:12I don't know.
01:03:14He doesn't seem happy.
01:03:16What?
01:03:17No, he's just processing it.
01:03:19It's a lot.
01:03:20Don't worry.
01:03:21No, he's just processing it.
01:03:23It's a lot.
01:03:24Don't stress.
01:03:26Thanks.
01:03:27I'll talk to you later.
01:03:28Bye.
01:03:30Would terminating it hurt?
01:03:32Yeah, almost two months ago.
01:03:35He wants to get rid of that baby?
01:03:38Yeah, almost two months ago.
01:03:42Yeah, she passed out a few days ago, but is it too dangerous for her to have the child now?
01:03:47Yeah, she passed out a few days ago, but is it too dangerous for her to have the child now?
01:03:52I understand your concern, but with our care she'll be fine.
01:03:55Don't stress.
01:04:00That's good to hear.
01:04:12Ah, this is a nightmare.
01:04:15He doesn't want the baby.
01:04:17He never wanted me.
01:04:20Madeline.
01:04:27If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess.
01:04:30You owe me.
01:04:31Kaylee, what the hell is this?
01:04:34Where are you?
01:04:36You're really that desperate?
01:04:37Desperate?
01:04:38This is all your fault.
01:04:40You've ruined me.
01:04:42I lost my job at Powell.
01:04:44I've been blacklisted everywhere and I am drowning in debt because of you.
01:04:48Kaylee, listen.
01:04:50We can talk this out.
01:04:51I can help you.
01:04:52Help me?
01:04:53You think you're better than me.
01:04:55I took your boyfriend and you still ended up with everything.
01:04:58Mr. Powell.
01:05:00Perfect, rich life.
01:05:02While I have nothing.
01:05:04Never.
01:05:06If I'm going down,
01:05:08I'm taking you with me.
01:05:10Stop.
01:05:14Madeline.
01:05:16Are you hurt?
01:05:17Talk to me.
01:05:26She's just in shock.
01:05:27She'll wake up soon.
01:05:29And the baby will be perfectly fine.
01:05:32Thank you, Doctor.
01:05:52Finally you're awake.
01:05:55Madeline, what were you thinking?
01:05:57Why did you go out alone?
01:06:01Do you have any idea of how risky that is?
01:06:03If not for me, but for the baby.
01:06:05Stop pretending you care.
01:06:07You don't actually want this child.
01:06:10You want me to get rid of it.
01:06:12That is not true.
01:06:13I'm over the moon about the baby.
01:06:15Liar.
01:06:16I heard you on the phone.
01:06:18I was worried.
01:06:20I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay after what happened.
01:06:23What did the doctor say?
01:06:25She said that there's nothing serious.
01:06:28Take care of yourself and everything will be okay.
01:06:31That's a relief.
01:06:33I'm sorry to have you so worried.
01:06:36Madeline, why can't you trust me?
01:06:41So we got married because it's my dad's wishes.
01:06:44You don't actually like me, do you?
01:06:47I love you deeply, Madeline.
01:06:50Me?
01:06:51You love me?
01:06:53Deeply.
01:06:55From the moment I first laid eyes on you.
01:06:58I was drawn to you and you just didn't know it.
01:07:02How could I? You never said anything.
01:07:06I was scared.
01:07:10You have so much of a life to explore and before getting stuck with someone like me,
01:07:16you're still young.
01:07:20I was worried that you'd think I was childish or mature.
01:07:25You're incredible.
01:07:27Honestly.
01:07:29I've loved you for a long time.
01:07:31Are you serious?
01:07:33I am.
01:07:34Nicholas, I love you.
01:07:38I love you more, Madeline.
01:07:42Feel it.
01:07:44In every bit of my heart.
