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