00:00:00Oh, shit! I'm late for work! Hi, I'm your new personal assistant.
00:00:10It's you. I'm pregnant.
00:00:15What does this have to do with me? I think it's best if you leave the conference
00:00:19lines. Is my degree and all my experience not enough
00:00:23for my competent? Good morning, sir. I'm Lily, your new personal
00:00:32assistant. I've got this nagging feeling that we've
00:00:35met somewhere before, or... How you want Richard to pay for what he did.
00:00:40Soon you'll understand the consequences of your actions.
00:00:50Lily, I presume? Yeah, that's me.
00:01:03I want to talk to you about something, Dad.
00:01:17Oh, shit! I'm late for work! Oh, God, I wish I had superpowers right
00:01:22now so I could just fly to work. Really?
00:01:29Mom? Mom, I really don't have time right now.
00:01:31I'm late for work. I gotta go. Hold on just a minute.
00:01:34Mom, I really don't have time. If I get fired today...
00:01:37Oh, stop whining, little girl, and listen. All right, Mom, what is it?
00:01:41So, I found you the perfect guy. He works in a law firm, and since you now
00:01:46have a good job, I see you guys are compatible.
00:01:49Mom, it's definitely not a good time. I'm late. I really gotta go, okay?
00:01:53I love you. Come on, Em. I'm doing this for you.
00:01:57Hold on. Your husband-to-be actually wants to talk to you.
00:02:02Mom! Hi, Emily. Your mom said so much about you.
00:02:06I was wondering if we could... Dude, listen, I'm sure you're a great guy
00:02:10and all, but it's my first day. I'm late for work. I really gotta go.
00:02:13Please just bug off, man!
00:02:20Shit, my keys.
00:02:37Man, last night was damn crazy.
00:02:41Looks like another day in paradise.
00:02:48Hey, Siri, play me some jazz music.
00:02:52Okay.
00:02:54Yeah.
00:03:08Time is money, and I've got plenty of both.
00:03:12Ah, coffee. The elixir of life.
00:03:24Hello?
00:03:25Good morning, sir. We need you at the office for an important meeting.
00:03:28What's wrong?
00:03:29We have a marketing problem at our Ohio branch, sir.
00:03:32Who's handling it?
00:03:33I don't know, sir.
00:03:34I'm not sure.
00:03:35Okay.
00:03:37We have a marketing problem at our Ohio branch, sir.
00:03:40Who's handling it?
00:03:41There was a client in the newly released product. The team is on it, sir.
00:03:45Okay. Well, I need this resolved quickly. I don't need issues like this on my radar.
00:03:50I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:03:51Yes, sir. It'll be taken care of immediately.
00:04:07Time waits for no one.
00:04:10But Richard Goodman always arrives on time.
00:04:23You're Emily Nelson, right?
00:04:25Yeah, that's me. And you are?
00:04:27It's your first day at work. You come two hours late. What is wrong with you?
00:04:31I know. I'm sorry. I had car trouble this morning. Someone told me.
00:04:34Whatever. Come with me.
00:04:42This is your new office.
00:04:46Thanks.
00:04:48You know, the boss has been waiting for you in his office two hours already. He wants to see you right now.
00:04:53Can you take me there?
00:04:54Fine. Let's go.
00:05:00This is it. Careful.
00:05:05We can't operate in more positions, especially now, Robert.
00:05:08I'm sorry. I know you're an old friend, but I'm not in Charity Center.
00:05:14Hi. I'm your new personal assistant.
00:05:18It's you.
00:05:19Just a moment, Robert. I'm getting another call. I'll call you back.
00:05:26I understand. We can't let this issue escalate any further. I need that report by the end of the day.
00:05:30Unless you want to look for a new job, I suggest you stop procrastinating.
00:05:37You. You're the one from the accident yesterday.
00:05:40Yes. That's me. I didn't realize that...
00:05:44That I'd be your new boss? Small world, huh?
00:05:48Yeah. I'm sorry I came in late. My alarm didn't go off and I didn't have my car.
00:05:54Well, if you'd gotten up earlier, you would've gotten here earlier and avoided all the shenanigans.
00:05:59I'm sorry. If I have to do extra hours, I will.
00:06:02What do we do now? It's only been your first day and I must say I'm not impressed.
00:06:06It's my first day here, sir. I did all the interviews and I was the best choice. Please, just give me a chance.
00:06:12Don't stress it. I can see you're worried. It's written all over your face.
00:06:16Just don't let it happen again, okay?
00:06:18Okay. Thank you.
00:06:20I understand that you would've gotten to the office earlier if I hadn't hit you with my car.
00:06:23Okay. I promise, sir. I won't let it happen again.
00:06:26Drop the sir. Richard is fine.
00:06:29Alright, sir. So, what do I do now?
00:06:35Girl, I can only imagine. It must have been embarrassing.
00:06:39Sarah, you have no idea. First, my alarm went off late.
00:06:43And then the accident. And the guy that I was working with.
00:06:46First, my alarm went off late. And then the accident.
00:06:49And the guy that I was yelling at for bashing my car turned out to be my boss.
00:06:53Oh my gosh. If I were in your shoes, I would have wanted to disappear too.
00:06:58Trust me, Sarah. If I could've run away in that moment, I would have.
00:07:03Well, now you have a front row seat to always keep an eye on your boss.
00:07:07He can't get away with anything either, right?
00:07:11God, just kill me now.
00:07:13It's like my life is a reality TV show and... I don't know.
00:07:19God, I just... I hope it doesn't get too dramatic.
00:07:22Girl, I got a serious question for you.
00:07:25What?
00:07:26Is he cute?
00:07:27Oh God, Sarah, please. He doesn't even look like the kind of guy that has time for a woman.
00:07:32And he's too serious.
00:07:35But... I don't know.
00:07:38Maybe every guy that's kind of hardcore has his hot spot, right?
00:07:41Well, that sounds nice. Looks like you got yourself a real soap opera now.
00:07:47Yeah, well, I hope it doesn't take any dramatic twists.
00:07:50Who knows? Maybe you'll discover that your boss is secretly a spy or a long-lost prince.
00:07:57Are you serious? I highly doubt it.
00:08:01But I don't know. Maybe a twist that would make my life easier wouldn't be too bad.
00:08:06Hello?
00:08:11It's Richard. I need to take this. I'll call you back, okay?
00:08:14Of course, Em. Don't let him intimidate you.
00:08:20Hello, sir.
00:08:22Emily, I need you to join an urgent call in two hours. We have an important meeting.
00:08:27And how many times do I have to tell you? Just call me Richard.
00:08:31I don't think it's professional to call you by your first name, sir.
00:08:34Very well. Just call on over.
00:08:37Okay. I'll be right there.
00:08:39Good.
00:08:55Emily, make sure you're taking down all the necessary details. I need a comprehensive report by the morning.
00:09:01Yes, sir. I'm documenting everything.
00:09:03And we need to implement the changes in the pricing strategy, and the product rollout needs to be recalibrated.
00:09:10Anyway, we need to switch our supplier from the EU to Asia so we can cut the cost down.
00:09:16Got it. Pricing strategy and recalibration of the product rollout.
00:09:21Got it. Pricing strategy and recalibration of the product rollout.
00:09:25That's a great plan. This product is critical for our first quarter.
00:09:29Please make sure you have our staff implemented as soon as you can.
00:09:32Is there anything else, sir?
00:09:34No, Emily. You've been a great help. Get some rest. You've earned it.
00:09:39Thank you, sir.
00:09:41Don't forget. We meet early tomorrow morning in my office.
00:09:45Okay. Have a good night.
00:09:48Good night.
00:09:54I hope this job isn't the end of me.
00:09:56I hope this job isn't the end of me.
00:10:18Sir?
00:10:24He's not here.
00:10:27He's not here.
00:10:33Good morning, Emily.
00:10:35Good morning, sir.
00:10:37Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you like that.
00:10:40I'm sorry. I'll clean this up.
00:10:48I put the report on your desk. You can check it out.
00:10:52Okay. So you've got everything recorded?
00:10:54Yes. You can check it for any errors.
00:11:04What the hell was that? It felt different.
00:11:07No. Things like this cannot happen. Not with an employee.
00:11:12Our relationship is strictly professional. That's it.
00:11:19We have to remain professional.
00:11:21Focus on the work. That's what matters.
00:11:24This cannot happen. I won't let this happen.
00:11:32Oh, what's that?
00:11:34Why did it feel so... complicated?
00:11:43God, this thing won't come off.
00:11:46Just like...
00:11:47I don't know what that was.
00:11:51No. No. I need to keep it professional.
00:11:54There's no room for that kind of stuff.
00:11:56Work is work.
00:12:09David, tell me some good news.
00:12:11Yes, sir. The new strategy we implemented is working.
00:12:14That's excellent to hear. Tell me more.
00:12:16Our recent campaign is agreeing with our target audience.
00:12:19And we're seeing a significant uptick in engagement sales.
00:12:22It seems like we hit the mark, sir.
00:12:24Outstanding work. Thank you, David.
00:12:26We need to monitor the progress closely, though, okay?
00:12:29Will do, sir. Thank you for your guidance and support.
00:12:36Emily, please come to my office.
00:12:38Yes, sir.
00:12:40Emily, please come to my office.
00:12:43On my way, sir.
00:12:50Emily, do you have your passport ready?
00:12:52My passport? Yeah, but I wasn't aware of any travel plans.
00:12:56I have an important business trip scheduled for tomorrow. I'll need you to accompany me.
00:13:00Yes, of course. I'll make the necessary arrangements.
00:13:10What?
00:13:18Oh my goodness. Why does he keep staring at me?
00:13:22That was a productive meeting, Emily. You handled logistics perfectly.
00:13:29Thank you, sir. It was a team effort.
00:13:33You're a valuable asset to this team, Emily. Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed.
00:13:38I'm just here to make your job easier, sir.
00:13:42This calls for a celebration, don't you think?
00:13:47Yeah. Okay.
00:13:49Head back to our rooms to freshen up, and then we can meet at the hotel restaurant.
00:13:53We'll mark this successful meeting properly.
00:13:55Okay. Sounds good.
00:14:07Let's reconvene at the hotel restaurant in an hour?
00:14:12Absolutely. I'll set everything up for our celebration.
00:14:16Okay.
00:14:26Cheers.
00:14:28Cheers.
00:14:38Cheers.
00:14:42I'm interested to learn more about you, Emily.
00:14:45I know a lot about your professional life, but I don't know very much about your personal one.
00:14:49Tell me more.
00:14:53Well, I come from a pretty close-knit family.
00:14:57And I have a little sister. She's in college now.
00:15:01And yeah, my family has always been really supportive with all of my ambitions.
00:15:06Wow. That's wonderful to hear, Emily. I can see where you get your determination from.
00:15:13Yeah.
00:15:15I mean, they mean the world to me, you know?
00:15:20Oh my gosh. But lately, my mom has been driving me insane.
00:15:25She's been trying to find me a future husband, and I swear, every time I see her,
00:15:30every time I see her phone call, I just, I don't know, I feel this pressure.
00:15:37I mean, I don't know what she thinks.
00:15:44How about you? What's your life beyond the boardroom?
00:15:52Yeah. Work's always been challenging, and I've missed a lot of important aspects of my life.
00:15:58So I guess I'm just trying to find a balance right now.
00:16:02Huh. Yeah. I see how it can be challenging to maintain a work-life balance with your responsibilities.
00:16:10You're absolutely right, Emily. I'm starting to realize that there's a lot more to life than just work.
00:16:21Hey, what do you say we go to the hotel bar and get a drink?
00:16:24That sounds like a wonderful idea. Let's go.
00:16:33You go.
00:16:55You're a great assistant, Emily. You've been a real lifesaver tonight.
00:17:02It's all part of the job, sir.
00:17:05Thank you, Emily. You're a real friend.
00:17:09Anytime, Mr. Richard. Just know I always have your back.
00:17:14You know, I just realized, I don't think I know your last name.
00:17:17It's Goodman. Richard Goodman. You should know by my finance reports.
00:17:24Goodman? So, that must mean you're a good man, right?
00:17:32Why don't you find out?
00:17:47I still prefer to call you Mr. Richard.
00:17:52I'm so lucky to have you, Miss Emily.
00:17:55And I'm so lucky to work for you.
00:18:00You're an extraordinary person.
00:18:08Do you want to wait here for a while?
00:18:17What are you doing?
00:18:24What are you doing?
00:18:35What are you doing?
00:18:47Where am I?
00:18:55Where am I?
00:19:00What happened last night?
00:19:18Emily, what are you doing in my room?
00:19:21You're asking me? I should be asking you!
00:19:25What exactly happened last night? I just... I left you in your room... and then...
00:19:32No. No, no, no, no, no. No, this can't be happening!
00:19:37Emily! Don't go!
00:19:48What did I get myself into?
00:19:56What happened last night?
00:20:01Did I really sleep with Richard?
00:20:02Sleep with Richard?
00:20:16What did we do?
00:20:22Please, have a seat.
00:20:29We need to talk about what happened.
00:20:31Yes, we do.
00:20:37I need to understand how such an event happened last night.
00:20:42Richard, I wish I had a clear answer. We were both drunk and it's all a blur.
00:20:49I need to make sure that you're okay with everything that happened.
00:20:52What? You want me to be okay with all this?
00:20:57I had a one night stand with my boss and you expect me to be fine with it?
00:21:01Calm down. Calm down. I understand you feel that way.
00:21:06Calm down? How are you going to tell me to calm down? Do you have any idea how much stress this has caused me?
00:21:13It's affected me too, okay? But I just want you to know that even though something happened, I still...
00:21:20No, no. I need to go home and process all this. I really don't want this to affect our working relationship.
00:21:28I understand you feel that way and I know the challenges it presents, but I don't want it to affect your role here either.
00:21:36Richard, it's okay. We both made a mistake. It was a result of poor judgment, fueled by alcohol, but I really don't want this to jeopardize our working relationship.
00:21:47I just need to go home and take some time to think about it.
00:21:51Okay.
00:22:06Emily, what happened? You can talk to me.
00:22:09I'm here for you.
00:22:10Sarah, I'm freaking out. I had too much to drink and... God, it's such a mess. I can't believe what I did.
00:22:17It's okay, Emily.
00:22:20Take a deep breath.
00:22:22We will get through this together.
00:22:25What happened?
00:22:28Alright. Sarah, I had a one-night stand with my boss. I woke up in his bed this morning. God, it's such a mess.
00:22:39Listen, Emily, I can only imagine what happened last night.
00:22:43It doesn't define you.
00:22:47Emily, I'm here for you, but are you safe? Do you need any help?
00:22:52I'm safe. I'm just... I'm just a little shaken up. I don't know how to face him at work anymore.
00:22:58What's wrong? Are you sure you remember what happened?
00:23:02Yes, I went through it in my head over and over again. It happened, Sarah. Unfortunately. Oh, God, I don't know what to do.
00:23:11No, no, Emily. It's a complicated situation. Don't worry. We'll figure out a way to move forward.
00:23:21Thank you, Sarah. I really needed to hear that.
00:23:32What have I done?
00:23:37It was a mistake. A lapse in judgment. Who hasn't had sex?
00:23:47How could it come to this? We're both professionals. What was I thinking?
00:23:55I can't let this ruin mine or Emily's career. We must find a way to move forward.
00:24:02I won't let this mistake ruin all that I've built. I must restore order.
00:24:10How can I just face everyone at work after what happened? But I can't keep avoiding it.
00:24:20Sarah was right. I'm not going to let it define me. No. I'm not going to let one mistake determine my future.
00:24:32I'm not going to let it define me.
00:24:45Thank goodness.
00:25:02All right. There. All set. Okay.
00:25:09Mission accomplished. Now I can focus on the rest of my tasks for the day.
00:25:32Emily's been here.
00:25:38She's so dedicated to her work, even after the incident.
00:25:46Thank you for this.
00:25:55Hello, David?
00:25:57Just a moment. I'll call you back.
00:26:02I was told you wanted to see me?
00:26:05Yes, Emily. Please have a seat.
00:26:19Please come this way.
00:26:31Really, we can't keep avoiding the elephant in the room. What happened between us, it's complicated.
00:26:37Yes, it is.
00:26:40I want you to know that I value your professionalism and dedicate it to your work.
00:26:44But I understand that what happened between us has created an uncomfortable situation.
00:26:51I really value my job here, Mr. Richard. I mean, sir. And I'm not going to let anything jeopardize it.
00:26:58We need to find a way to move forward without letting this affect our work.
00:27:02I agree. We need to maintain professionalism and find a way to put this between us, behind us.
00:27:08I promise, sir. I won't let this affect our work. I'm not going to let personal matters interfere.
00:27:15Thank you, Emily. Your dedication towards your work is commendable.
00:27:20So is yours. Seriously, I really value my time here.
00:27:24The very fact that you believe in me, it just really makes me feel like this job is everything for me.
00:27:31We'll handle this, Emily. But in the meantime, let's focus on the tasks at hand.
00:27:36Okay. I have some work to get back to. If you don't mind, I'd like to get back to it.
00:27:58Hi, Mom.
00:28:00Emily! How have you been, dear?
00:28:03I'm okay. Just, I have a lot going on at work.
00:28:08You sound a bit off. Is everything okay?
00:28:12Yeah, everything's fine. It's just, I might have done something that put my work and reputation at risk.
00:28:19But I have it under control. And I wouldn't let you down, Mom.
00:28:24You could never let me down, Emily. I know you'll do what's right.
00:28:28By the way, Emily, I have a date set up with you with a banker.
00:28:35Mom, you're still setting me people up.
00:28:37Come on, Em. Give it a chance, baby. You need to get back out there. It's been ages since you've had any fun.
00:28:44That's true, but, Mom, I have so much going on right now, I can't even fathom going on a date right now.
00:28:50Emily, you can't let work control your life. Besides, this guy is different.
00:28:55He's a successful banker. Stable and charming at the same time.
00:29:00He has a lot of hobbies similar to yours. I really think you'll like him.
00:29:06I don't know.
00:29:08Come on. It's just one date. What's the harm in having a little fun once in a while?
00:29:13Alright, fine. But just this one date. I want to feel like I'm doing this just for you.
00:29:19That's my girl. I'll send him your number right away.
00:29:22Alright. I gotta go, Mom.
00:29:24And remember, Emily, the most important thing is to wear a beautiful smile.
00:29:33Okay, Mom. Bye. I love you.
00:29:40Sarah, I can't believe I let my mom talk me into this date. He was actually so nice.
00:29:45See? I told you, Em. Sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone.
00:29:50I know. I know. And it was so refreshing to talk to someone about something that's not worked for once, you know?
00:29:58I'm glad to hear, sweetheart. Do I get to meet this charming banker soon?
00:30:04Oh my gosh. Come on, Sarah. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It was just one date.
00:30:09Well, remember that life is more than just work and solving mysteries. It's about enjoying the journey, too.
00:30:16I know. You're right. I'm just happy I let my mom talk me into this date.
00:30:22Now, tell me more about this charming banker. What's his name?
00:30:27Okay. So his name is James. And he's genuinely such a good guy. And he's full of unexpected surprises.
00:30:37I don't know. I like him. Let's see where things go.
00:30:41Well, remember to just enjoy the moment. And if I were you...
00:30:46I wouldn't go for drinks with him. You know where that led last time.
00:30:51Oh my gosh. I know. Sarah, I get it. But you're right. Thank you. I needed to hear that.
00:31:03Emily, could you please come to my office for a moment, please?
00:31:10Sure.
00:31:16You wanted to see me, sir?
00:31:18Yes. Please have a seat.
00:31:21Don't worry. I'm not going to be talking about that. I have an important work task to hand over to you.
00:31:28Oh, right. That thing. I almost forgot about it.
00:31:32I wanted to discuss our upcoming projects. I have a very important client meeting next week.
00:31:36And I believe you'd be perfect to take the lead. Your attention to detail and your dedication to your work has not gone unnoticed.
00:31:43Thank you, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I'll be sure to give it my best.
00:31:48I have no doubt about that. You've been doing great lately. And I believe this presentation will make you shine even more.
00:31:55Thank you. I won't disappoint you, sir.
00:32:06All right, Emily. Stay calm and confident. You can do this.
00:32:12Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining today's call. I'll be leading today's discussion.
00:32:17Good morning, Emily.
00:32:19All right. So let's dive into this presentation.
00:32:22Today we're going to be discussing exciting developments and new opportunities in the blockchain space.
00:32:26So I'll be discussing some key points and then we can address any questions you guys might have.
00:32:31All right. Well, we lost 50% of our investment last cycle. So why would we keep investing in this space?
00:32:38Yeah. I mean, even though it's apparent that many companies have been affected by the bear market, including ours, it's still the best time to invest.
00:32:47Actually, more than 80% of the top 100 companies have invested in this space, whether it's through research, pilot programs or already implemented projects.
00:32:54And digital currency wallet holders have increased by 1000% in the last year alone. It's actually more risky not to invest.
00:33:04All right, everyone. Thank you so much for your time and attention today. I'm really looking forward to continuing this discussion.
00:33:10If you have any questions, please just reach out to me.
00:33:15Sir, I wanted to thank you for trusting me with the presentation. I really appreciate the chance to prove myself.
00:33:20You did a great job, Emily. I'm so glad I chose you for this. It was a perfect job for you.
00:33:25Thank you, sir.
00:33:27We might have to start reconsidering your job and ready you up for a promotion if you keep up the great work.
00:33:41Emily!
00:33:51Emily!
00:34:03What happened?
00:34:05You collapsed. Are you okay?
00:34:08Yeah, I'm fine. It must have been the excitement or something.
00:34:14Maybe you should get yourself checked just to make sure.
00:34:16Okay, I will. Thank you, sir.
00:34:22Take care of yourself, Emily. And please don't hesitate to reach out, okay?
00:34:28Okay, I will. I mean, I'm sure I'll be fine, but yeah, I'll let you know.
00:34:47Sarah, I can't talk right now. I'm still at work.
00:34:57Sarah, I can't talk right now. I'm still at work.
00:35:01I know. It's just, I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Richard told me to go get checked out.
00:35:07Well, you should listen to him. Better safe than sorry. I'll visit you when you finish work.
00:35:12Yeah, I just have a lot on my plate and it's taking its toll on me.
00:35:17Maybe it's time to look back and reevaluate your priorities.
00:35:30Oh my god, it's him.
00:35:34Hello?
00:35:35Good morning, Emily. I hope you're feeling better.
00:35:38Good morning, sir. I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks for asking.
00:35:43You know, I've been thinking. I think you should take a few days off. Or let's say a week.
00:35:49Honestly, take all the time you need and call me when you're feeling better. I trust you.
00:35:53Thank you, sir. Thanks for understanding. I'll keep you updated with my progress.
00:35:59Okay.
00:36:08Now that I have a whole day to myself, what should I do?
00:36:12I could just rest and watch some Netflix.
00:36:27That was weird. I must be more tired than I thought.
00:36:32I can't keep pushing myself like this.
00:36:54No, no, no.
00:36:57No, no, no.
00:37:00This can't be.
00:37:05No.
00:37:07No.
00:37:13What do I do now?
00:37:27Hello?
00:37:29Sarah, it's me, Emily.
00:37:32Emily, what's going on? You sound upset.
00:37:36Sarah, I took a pregnancy test and it's positive.
00:37:42Oh, Emily. I don't even know what to say.
00:37:47Me neither. I mean, I had a one-night stand with Richard and now I'm pregnant?
00:37:51Me neither. I mean, I had a one-night stand with Richard and now I'm pregnant?
00:37:56Emily, I'm here for you. We'll figure this out together.
00:38:00Sarah, I'm scared.
00:38:04I know, but you're not alone in this. Take a deep breath.
00:38:09Let's think about what you want to do next.
00:38:14Yeah. Thanks, Emily.
00:38:18Come in.
00:38:29Richard, I'm sorry to disturb you. I know you have a busy schedule.
00:38:34It's okay, Emily. What's wrong?
00:38:37I don't know how to tell you this, but there's something really important I need to talk to you about.
00:38:42Take your time. You can talk to me about anything.
00:38:48Richard, I took a pregnancy test and it's positive. I'm pregnant.
00:38:57I appreciate you telling me this, Emily, but what does this have to do with anything?
00:39:01Well, I thought you should know since you're the father.
00:39:05We had a one-night stand. Are you sure about this?
00:39:08I'm certain. There's no one else. And the timing, it aligns.
00:39:16This is a lot to take in.
00:39:19I understand, but I didn't want to hide this from you.
00:39:24We need to figure out the best way.
00:39:26I don't know what's the best way, but I know I can't do this alone.
00:39:33Thank you for telling me this, Emily.
00:39:36It's just a lot to process, and this is going to take me some time.
00:39:41How about we meet tomorrow and discuss this matter further?
00:39:47I don't know how to tell you this, but there's something really important I need to talk to you about.
00:39:52We can talk about it further.
00:39:56I understand, but I just wanted to be honest with you.
00:40:04Alright. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:40:19This can't be happening.
00:40:22It's a mistake. We had a one-night stand. We were both...
00:40:27We weren't in our right state of mind. I can't even remember it happening.
00:40:33It's a mistake. A misunderstanding. This job can't be mine.
00:40:40Emily, it's the situation. It's not what we expected. It complicates everything.
00:40:46We have to consider our options.
00:40:49I know, Richard. I've thought about it too.
00:40:52This wasn't part of any plan.
00:40:55It's just been so overwhelming.
00:40:59Well, given our situation, maybe we need to investigate other options, like, well...
00:41:08Termination?
00:41:13You mean an abortion?
00:41:15Yes.
00:41:21Excuse me.
00:41:30I need to consider every option.
00:41:33Hello?
00:41:34Sarah, we need to talk. I need your advice.
00:41:37Of course, Emily. I'm here for you.
00:41:40He wants me to get an abortion.
00:41:42I know he wouldn't like it, but... I don't know, at least he wasn't mad.
00:41:47I'm not sure. I just...
00:41:50Emily, whatever you decide, we will support you.
00:41:53This is your life. This is your choice.
00:41:56I know. I'm just... scared.
00:41:59I'm scared for my reputation, what it means for my career, the judgment.
00:42:03You're strong, Emily. You can overcome any obstacle.
00:42:07I will stand by your side and offer any support you may need.
00:42:13Richard, we have to talk about this pregnancy.
00:42:16I've thought about it, Emily. I don't believe in the father.
00:42:20It was a one-night stand. We were both intoxicated.
00:42:23This matter doesn't concern me.
00:42:25Richard, we have to consider all options. I didn't plan for this either.
00:42:29I'm sorry, Emily. I cannot be a part of this.
00:42:32I can't have this ruin my life or my career.
00:42:35But Richard, I need your support. We can do this together.
00:42:38We can figure it out.
00:42:40There's nothing to figure out.
00:42:42You made your decision that night, and you need to live with the consequences.
00:42:46What about you?
00:42:48You made choices that night, too.
00:42:50Why do I have to live with the consequences?
00:42:53What if I'm the only one being held responsible?
00:42:56You're the CEO of a big company.
00:42:58You must know responsibility.
00:43:00I think it's best if you leave the company, Emily.
00:43:03What? You're firing me?
00:43:06Yes. I can't have this affecting my business.
00:43:15I can't believe you.
00:43:17How can you be so heartless?
00:43:20You have until the end of the day to pack your things.
00:43:23I regret ever meeting you.
00:43:26Get out!
00:43:28I'm sorry, Richard.
00:43:30I regret ever meeting you.
00:43:32Get out!
00:43:52What do I do now?
00:44:00Hello?
00:44:02Hey, Sarah.
00:44:04Emily, what's going on?
00:44:06You sound upset.
00:44:09I don't know what to do.
00:44:11Richard fired me, and he said he doesn't want anything to do with me or the baby.
00:44:16I can't believe he fired you. What a heartless asshole.
00:44:20Don't worry.
00:44:22We'll stand with you through it all.
00:44:24I'm not going to give up.
00:44:25I'm going to find a way to support myself and this baby.
00:44:29That's the spirit, Em.
00:44:31We'll explore your options.
00:44:33You can start fresh. It's a new beginning.
00:44:36Thank you, Sarah.
00:44:38I don't know what I would do without you.
00:44:56I can do this.
00:44:58I'll be a strong, independent mom.
00:45:13Don't worry, little one.
00:45:15I'll be sure you get the best of everything.
00:45:17No one's going to look down on us.
00:45:20I'll be sure of that.
00:45:26What a day.
00:45:32Is my degree and all my experience not enough to prove my competence?
00:45:45No.
00:45:48No!
00:45:49No.
00:45:51No!
00:45:57I won't stop.
00:45:59I won't stop until I secure a future for my baby.
00:46:20Emily, how did the job interview go?
00:46:24The same, Sarah.
00:46:27They said my qualifications were good, but as soon as they found out I was pregnant,
00:46:32they had the reservations.
00:46:36Sarah, I don't know how much longer I can take this.
00:46:41Emily, I know this is hard for you.
00:46:44I know.
00:46:45I don't know how much longer I can take this.
00:46:48Emily, I know this is tough for you right now,
00:46:51but this is just another obstacle and you've always had a way with overcoming obstacles.
00:46:56You got this.
00:46:58You can do it.
00:47:01Thank you for believing in me.
00:47:03But I need to figure out a way to secure a future for my child.
00:47:07I mean, have you tried talking to Richard again?
00:47:11He has a stake in this, too.
00:47:13I'm not sure.
00:47:15The way he reacted last time...
00:47:18I don't want to face that again.
00:47:34Hang in there, little one.
00:47:36We're gonna get through this.
00:47:46Hey, Sarah.
00:47:48Guess what? I just finished decorating the baby shower invitations.
00:47:52They look adorable.
00:47:54I can't believe it's almost time.
00:47:56I know. It's coming up so fast.
00:47:59Sarah, thank you so much for helping me plan this.
00:48:02I couldn't do it without you.
00:48:04Of course, Emily. You're like a sister to me.
00:48:07We're going to throw the best baby shower ever.
00:48:09So, have you thought of any names yet? Got any favorites?
00:48:13I'm considering a few, but nothing's final.
00:48:16I want it to be perfect.
00:48:18You'll find the perfect name, I'm sure.
00:48:21It's a big decision after all.
00:48:24Thank you, Sarah.
00:48:26I'm so grateful for you.
00:48:28I know.
00:48:40Oh...
00:48:42Oh, my God.
00:48:45Sarah...
00:48:47I think my water just broke.
00:48:55Welcome home, Lily.
00:49:05You're going to have such a wonderful life, my little one.
00:49:10You've already brought so much joy into my life, Lily.
00:49:13I promise, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be there to protect you.
00:49:18Forever.
00:49:28We can't wait to see you too, Lily.
00:49:30Thanks for always supporting us.
00:49:36Hello?
00:49:37Hello?
00:49:39Emily, did you adjust the room to a suitable temperature for the baby like I told you?
00:49:44Yes, Mom, I did.
00:49:46Don't forget to take your child to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, and then again next week.
00:49:52Yes, Mom, I remember everything you told me.
00:49:54I think he'll be a great mom, just like you.
00:49:56That's a good child.
00:49:58I know you find me talkative, but I've experienced how much trouble it is to take care of children when you were little.
00:50:05I get it, Mom. I get it. I really do.
00:50:08Don't worry.
00:50:34I love you more than words can say, Lily.
00:50:40You've changed my world.
00:50:43I'm so grateful for you.
00:50:52Mom, we're behind on our rent again.
00:50:55We do.
00:50:58It's okay, Lily. We've been through traumas before, and we'll get through this one too.
00:51:04I'll talk to the landlord and explain our situation.
00:51:08We'll find a perfect solution. We always do.
00:51:11I hope so.
00:51:15Mom, everything here is broken. Why is everything falling apart all the time?
00:51:21It's not so simple, Lily. I'm trying my best, I promise.
00:51:25I know you're well-educated. Why are we doing better?
00:51:29It's complicated. I lost my job years ago, and I promise I've been trying my best since.
00:51:35Mom, just...
00:51:43Mom, I got you the medicine you need.
00:51:47Thank you, Lily. You're such a big help.
00:51:50Mom, things will get better. I promise.
00:51:53I know they will, sweetheart. I'm so lucky to have you.
00:51:57I wish things could be different.
00:52:03Mom! There's got to be a way to make you feel better.
00:52:08I'm trying, Lily. But sometimes, life has other plans.
00:52:13Mom. Mom, breathe, Scarlet. Mom!
00:52:17Mom! Mom, answer me! Mom!
00:52:22Mom!
00:52:26Mom!
00:52:29Mom!
00:52:32Mom!
00:52:34Mom!
00:52:36Mom!
00:52:38Mom!
00:52:40Mom!
00:52:43Mom, please wake up!
00:52:45Doctor! Doctor, there has to be something we can do, please! My mom's not responding!
00:52:50Mom!
00:52:52I understand, Lily. But without the finance or proper treatment, there's nothing we can do.
00:52:58What?
00:53:01Mom, please!
00:53:03Mom!
00:53:05Mom, please!
00:53:07Mom!
00:53:08Mom!
00:53:10Mom, I love you! Mom, please don't go!
00:53:14Please don't leave me!
00:53:16Please!
00:53:19Mom!
00:53:23Mom!
00:53:32Mom!
00:53:34Lily!
00:53:40Mom!
00:53:42I love you so much!
00:53:57Oh, Mom. I'll make you proud. I promise.
00:54:03I love you.
00:54:04My dearest Lily, if you're reading this letter, it means I'm no longer by your side.
00:54:10I want you to know that you're the most precious thing in my life.
00:54:15I love you.
00:54:17I love you.
00:54:19I love you.
00:54:21I love you.
00:54:23I love you.
00:54:25I love you.
00:54:27I love you.
00:54:29I love you.
00:54:31I love you.
00:54:32I know that you're the most precious thing in my life.
00:54:35I love you more than words can express.
00:54:38Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry for all the harsh words I said.
00:54:44I'm sorry I didn't tell you more about your father.
00:54:47But I want you to know the truth now.
00:54:50His name is Richard, and he wasn't a bad person.
00:54:53He just made a mistake in the past, just like I did.
00:54:57We were both young and foolish, and the circumstances kept us apart.
00:55:02Lily, I never wanted you to think poorly of him. He was just very focused on his career
00:55:08and he couldn't stand for anything that might put his company in jeopardy. So I had to leave.
00:55:14I hope that one day you will find it in your heart to forgive both of us for bringing you
00:55:19to this world. You deserve to know your father and I hope you'll seek him out when the time
00:55:24is right. No, I won't seek him for forgiveness or connection. He doesn't deserve that. I'll
00:55:35seek him out, but it won't be for reconciliation. Richard, you'll know what it feels like to
00:55:43be abandoned, just like you abandoned her.
00:55:50Mom, I'm ready. It's time to get our revenge. Here's to new beginnings. Taking over this
00:56:14company won't be easy, but it has to be done. This is the only way we can get our revenge.
00:56:20Okay, let's see. Mean. I'll never learn this. There's so much. God,
00:56:43this company is just so complex. No, I can't do it. No, I can't do that. That's stupid. I have
00:56:58to do this. Not just for me, but for mom. And to be fully prepared for this interview.
00:57:13Good morning. I'm doing well. Thank you. I'm excited about this opportunity.
00:57:25Yes, that's correct. I believe I am. Thank you. Yes, let's do it. Thank you for this
00:57:44opportunity. I'm looking forward to contributing and learning from the team.
00:57:48I see myself growing with the company, taking on more responsibilities and ensuring its
00:58:06continued success. Thank you. Don't regret it. Yes. One step closer, mom.
00:58:36Auntie Sarah. Hi. Guess what? I just got the job at Richard's company.
00:58:44That's great. But really, I can understand more than anyone how you want Richard to pay for what
00:58:51he did. But is this really the result your mother wanted? Yes, Auntie Sarah. This is the only way I
00:58:58can fill that hole of regret that is left in me and my mother's hearts. Okay, sweetie. Just be
00:59:03careful. Yes, Auntie Sarah. I know. But this is the only way. And don't worry. It's only going to
00:59:12get better from here. This is just the beginning. All right. Bye. Richard, soon you'll understand
00:59:24the consequences of your actions. Good morning, sir. I'm Lily, your new personal assistant.
00:59:35Oh, yes. Lily. Welcome. Please, have a seat.
00:59:43You seem remarkably young to be a personal assistant. Do you have any prior experience
00:59:47in this field? Yes, sir. I've been a personal assistant before, and I have a solid understanding
00:59:52of what the position entails. Very well, Lily. You're here to assist me in various aspects of my
00:59:59work and personal life. I expect the highest level of professionalism.
01:00:03Of course, sir. I'm here to make your life easier. In fact,
01:00:07I already finished the admin cost analysis for Q3.
01:00:11Very well. That'll be all for now. Thank you. Thank you.
01:00:24This is great work. You catch on fast, Lily. It's been a while since I've had an assistant
01:00:29who could keep up. Thank you, sir. I'm here to help in any way I can.
01:00:34You know, I've got this nagging feeling that we've met somewhere before, or maybe our paths have
01:00:40crossed. Oh, really? That's funny. I can't recall meeting you prior to working here.
01:00:47Keep up the good work.
01:01:03Could he really recognize me? He hasn't seen me before, so that doesn't make sense. But I'm not
01:01:14worried. I don't know. Oh. Hello? Auntie Sarah! Lily, how was your first day at work?
01:01:26It was good. I even met Richard, actually. Really? What did he say?
01:01:33Well, he did say that he might have seen me before somewhere. I'm kind of worried.
01:01:41Don't worry. It's probably a coincidence. Don't worry too much.
01:01:45You're right. Yeah, I shouldn't let it bother me. Thanks, Auntie Sarah.
01:01:54All right. Just gotta be on guard. Be careful. Be smart.
01:01:59No, no, no. It's fine.
01:02:17Who? Do they know what I'm planning?
01:02:24Okay, that's not good.
01:02:30I gotta know who's behind this. I can't let them stop me.
01:02:47Good morning, sir.
01:02:48Good morning, Lily. Please, call me Richard.
01:02:52Okay, Richard. Here are the documents based on yesterday's meeting.
01:03:00Lily, are you sure we have not by chance met before?
01:03:04I don't believe so, Richard. Unless you mean yesterday.
01:03:09All right, Lily. Let's make this a productive day.
01:03:13Yes, sir.
01:03:21Lily, you're proving to be an invaluable addition to the team.
01:03:23I appreciate your dedication.
01:03:25Thank you, sir. As I said, I'm here to support you in any way I can.
01:03:49Lily, I presume? I've been looking forward to meeting you.
01:03:54Yeah, that's me. I recognize you from my old job at the finance department at IG.
01:04:03You said you could help me?
01:04:05Indeed, I can. I have more confidential information within the company.
01:04:12But first, can you tell me what you've gathered so far?
01:04:16Yeah, sure. Great. Come on in.
01:04:18Thanks.
01:04:19This is what I have. Just this and this.
01:04:29You've done an impressive job here, Lily. Really, this is more than I expected.
01:04:36With this and the information I have, we can take a big fish like Richard down.
01:04:40That's my ultimate goal. He deserves to pay for what he did to my mother.
01:04:45Yeah, I know. Your auntie Sarah and my mom are good friends. I heard all about it.
01:04:51But what's your motive in all this? Why are you helping me?
01:04:57I lost my father to this company.
01:05:04This company's ruined more lives than you can imagine.
01:05:07He destroyed my family. I vowed I would take him down.
01:05:11The company looks so pure on the outside, but I knew he was using this money to fund his drug deals.
01:05:18Holy shit.
01:05:20I... Look, this is his offshore account.
01:05:25All we have to do is trace this money back to his illegal operations.
01:05:29With this, we can ensure that he'll pay for what he did to my mom and your family.
01:05:35Let's get to work.
01:05:41I can't believe how heavily encrypted this file is. It's like nothing I've ever seen before.
01:05:53Alex, we need to break this code. It's crucial to this plan.
01:05:57I know, Lily, but this isn't just standard encryption.
01:06:01This is designed to withstand some of the most advanced hacking attempts.
01:06:05Well, we can't give up now. We have to get inside that file.
01:06:11Okay.
01:06:14Any progress, Alex?
01:06:18Let me just...
01:06:21That's it. It's open. The document's open.
01:06:24Finally! Okay, let's get inside that file and get what we need.
01:06:33This... This is the solid proof we needed.
01:06:36Richard's criminal empire is exposed in these documents.
01:06:40Money laundering, drug trafficking, political manipulations. He's entangled in all of it.
01:06:47Oh my god. We don't know who we're going to expose in these documents.
01:06:54We need to be really careful with our next move.
01:06:58Richard, your reign of terror is about to end, and we'll be the ones to end it.
01:07:04Lily, I gotta ask you a question.
01:07:06I mean, doesn't this affect you kind of deeply?
01:07:10I mean, Richard, this is your father.
01:07:14Yeah, but it's because he's my father that I have to end it.
01:07:21He killed my mother, he destroyed our family,
01:07:24and he built his empire on a foundation of corruption and lies.
01:07:29We have to stop him.
01:07:30I won't let something stupid like his blood in my veins stop me from seeking justice.
01:07:35With this data and your files, we finally have enough evidence to take him down.
01:07:40Yeah, let's do it.
01:07:46Wow, this evidence combined is a goldmine. It should be enough.
01:07:53You did a good job. Thank you. Good job.
01:07:56Thank you, Detective.
01:07:57But we still need to be careful because Richard's pretty tricky,
01:08:01and we need to make sure he has no way to escape the grasp of the law.
01:08:05I understand.
01:08:24Lily, you know, you're one of the strongest people I know.
01:08:30What you're doing, what we've done, it's incredible.
01:08:34Thank you, Alex. You know, it has been overwhelming, but I think it's all worth it.
01:08:40I was originally just going to blackmail Richard, and once I got to Canada,
01:08:45I would just send the information to the police.
01:08:48But now, I feel like ever since I met you, I want to do things the right way.
01:08:55Lily, you changed your plans just for me?
01:08:59Lily, you're right. We don't have to keep running. We don't have to do anything.
01:09:07Lily, as long as I have you, I don't need anything else.
01:09:17Lily, I feel something more than just partnership here. I don't know. Do you feel it, too?
01:09:26Yeah, I do.
01:09:29Lily, I love you.
01:09:36I do, too.
01:09:47Lily, what brings you here?
01:09:49I want to talk to you about someone, Dad.
01:09:52Do you know someone who might be interested in our relationship?
01:09:56Do you know someone by the name of Emily?
01:09:59You just called me Dad?
01:10:01Emily was my mother, Dad. You had a one-night stand with her many years ago,
01:10:07and left her to deal with it by herself. She died because she was very sick,
01:10:12and we had no money for her hospital bills.
01:10:15I'm not sure who this Emily is. It was a long time ago.
01:10:19She must have fallen for me because of my charm, like many others did.
01:10:25Of course her death was a tragedy, but let bygones be bygones.
01:10:28Her death was not a tragedy, Dad. Her death was an injustice. I made a vow to get justice for her.
01:10:43And that's what I'm here to do.
01:10:45What are you talking about, Lily?
01:10:46I've been investigating, Dad. Uncovering secrets, lies, and illegal activities
01:10:53that led me to the truth.
01:10:57Lily, I'm not sure what you think you know, but you should leave this alone.
01:11:02I can't, Dad. I won't. I'll expose everything,
01:11:08and then you'll finally realize what it's like to face the consequences of your actions.
01:11:23What's going on, Clark?
01:11:25Richard, things are getting worse. The evidence against you and the company is piling up.
01:11:29Lily, your daughter, she's relentless.
01:11:32We can't let her win. We have to do something fast.
01:11:36I've got a contact of somebody who can make it disappear.
01:11:39It's risky, but it might be our only way out.
01:11:42Do it. We can't go down without a fight.
01:11:53Lily, we're doing the right thing. We'll get justice for your mother.
01:11:57And your father. I'm grateful for you, Alex. You've been my anchor through this whole thing.
01:12:03We've come so far, but we've got to remain vigilant.
01:12:07You're right.
01:12:08We can't underestimate your father.
01:12:09We're close, but the hardest part may still lie ahead.
01:12:13Would you like me to come with you tomorrow when you face him?
01:12:15I'd love to, but I don't think I can.
01:12:17I don't think I can either.
01:12:18The hardest part may still lie ahead.
01:12:20Would you like me to come with you tomorrow when you face him?
01:12:23No. This is something I want to do alone.
01:12:26Fine. I'll be right outside.
01:12:28Okay. Thank you.
01:12:36Lily, I don't know if you think you know, but we can't let it end like this.
01:12:40We have to find another way. Answer your father.
01:12:44It's too late for that, Dad.
01:12:46You should have thought about the consequences 20 years ago.
01:12:50Too late.
01:12:51What did you do?
01:12:52What did you do?
01:12:54Open up. It's the police.
01:12:57Richard Goodman, you're under arrest for a series of crimes,
01:13:00including money laundering, fraud, and drug trafficking.
01:13:04Come on, let's go. Get down.
01:13:06You can't do this to me. Do you know who I am?
01:13:08You've got no real evidence.
01:13:10We have all the evidence we need, Dad.
01:13:14Let's go.
01:13:15Lily, you can't do this to me. I'm still your father.
01:13:19You stopped being my father a long time ago.
01:13:22All right, that's enough.
01:13:35It's finally over. Richard is finished.
01:13:39The company is still going, but those shareholders are having a hard time
01:13:43stopping everything from dying.
01:13:45You're so beautiful, Lily.
01:13:47Really, inside and out. I love you.
01:13:50I love you too, Alex.
01:13:57It's Richard.
01:13:58He's being charged with everything we found on him and more.
01:14:04We did it, Dad. We did it, Lily.
01:14:09Let's forget about this nonsense, Alex.
01:14:12The future is ours.
01:14:14You're right. That's right.
01:14:16But aren't you even a little interested in how many years Richard's going to get?
01:14:22No, it doesn't matter. We have so much to look forward to, Alex.
01:14:27Yeah. I mean, as long as we got each other, there's nothing we can't do.
01:14:42Good morning, everyone. I hope this call finds you well.
01:14:45I want to thank you all for joining me today,
01:14:48especially considering the recent developments in our company.
01:14:53As you may already know, my father Richard has made the decision to step down from his position
01:14:59as CEO following his arrest.
01:15:02He has entrusted the future of this company to me as his only child.
01:15:07I understand the challenges we've faced and the dark chapter we're leaving behind.
01:15:14But I want you all to know that my commitment to this company is unwavering.
01:15:21I believe in our potential to make a difference, not only in the business world,
01:15:27but in the lives of our employees and the communities we serve.
01:15:31Under my leadership, we will continue to make a difference,
01:15:35under my leadership, we will continue to strive for excellence,
01:15:40ethical practices and corporate responsibility.
01:15:44I'm committed to leading with integrity and transparency,
01:15:48and I hope to earn your trust and support as we navigate the road ahead.
01:15:52Together, we will build a brighter and more responsible future for this company.
01:15:59Thank you for your words, Lily.
01:16:01Your father's legacy will live on through your leadership.
01:16:04We look forward to working with you to shape the future of this company.
01:16:13You did it.
01:16:15We did it.
01:16:16Yeah.
01:16:16Oh.
01:16:19What is it?
01:16:20Oh, it's a message from my auntie Sarah.
01:16:22Lily, I heard that Richard was arrested and I hope everything is fine.
01:16:26Did you say you met a guy as in boyfriend or just a friend?
01:16:31I wanted to tell you I'm coming to visit you next week.
01:16:34I finally got some time off my crazy job for a vacation.
01:16:37Can't wait.
01:16:39More details soon.
01:16:41She's finally coming to visit.
01:16:43I'm so excited to show her the changes we've made.
01:16:45She'll be beside herself.
01:16:47Oh, I bet she's going to be real proud of you.
01:16:49Hey, this is for your father too.
01:16:51So give yourself a little credit.
01:16:54Oh, yeah.
01:16:56But the important thing is we found something more precious in the process.
01:17:01Yeah, that's true.
01:17:03You know, I think the universe was speaking to us.
01:17:05It didn't want us to go down a dark path of revenge and lose ourselves.
01:17:11I'm so glad I met you, Alex.
01:17:12You saved me.
01:17:14You and me.
01:17:16I think you're right about the universe, though.
01:17:18It works in mysterious ways.
01:17:22The important thing is, though, that we listened.
01:17:25None of this would have been possible without that.
01:17:28I'm really happy I met you, Alex.
01:17:30Me too.
01:17:33You.
