00:00:00I never thought my ex-fiancé would be my boss, and now I have to report to him directly.
00:00:30Hello? Daniel? Daniel, are you home?
00:00:42Hey, Emily! Come up here, I need your help!
00:00:44Daniel!
00:01:00I'm sorry, I should...
00:01:02Wait!
00:01:06Uh, Daniel, please, cover yourself.
00:01:08What, are you embarrassed? It's nothing you haven't seen before.
00:01:12If you're all set, then, um, I should go.
00:01:16Stop.
00:01:21You do know you're here to be my assistant, right?
00:01:26Well, if there's anything work-related, just let me know.
00:01:32Here, take the coat.
00:01:34Look by the door.
00:01:36We're going to go meet some friends at a bar.
00:01:40I'm not going to be Daniel Oster's assistant!
00:01:48Have you forgotten so easily?
00:01:51Just imagine the look on that loser ex's face when he receives the massive debt collection notices,
00:01:55and not to mention the court summons.
00:02:07Daniel!
00:02:09Hey, Daniel, you're late!
00:02:11Do I have to order you drinks, please?
00:02:13Actually, uh, she's not really that much of a drinker.
00:02:18Daniel!
00:02:20You know there's a penalty for being late, huh?
00:02:24Pick a female in the room, and try to kiss her.
00:02:28Your choice.
00:02:34Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her!
00:02:38Sorry, they can be kind of relentless.
00:02:40Might as well get it over with.
00:02:42I'll drink for punishment.
00:02:48What are you doing?
00:02:54You know, if you can't handle it, maybe you shouldn't drink.
00:03:02Is kissing me really that difficult?
00:03:04It's just a game.
00:03:08Just a game?
00:03:10I can't treat it that way.
00:03:12I've never kissed you.
00:03:15Just a game?
00:03:17I can't treat it that way.
00:03:19I've always loved you, Daniel.
00:03:21Don't joke like that.
00:03:23I won't betray my husband.
00:03:25Your husband?
00:03:27I guess I should just wish you guys a lifetime of happiness, huh?
00:03:29I should go.
00:03:33Why are you being so heartless?
00:03:35Are you alright?
00:03:41God, you've always been such a lightweight.
00:03:44You really need to take better care of yourself.
00:03:46Come on, I'll take you home.
00:03:56I'll go get you something for the hangover.
00:04:14James.
00:04:16That collaboration you were talking to me about.
00:04:18Why don't you come over so we can discuss it further?
00:04:28I brought you this.
00:04:30Are you even drunk?
00:04:32Yeah, I'm drunk.
00:04:34I'm love.
00:04:36And you're the only cure I need.
00:04:44Daniel.
00:04:50We shouldn't be doing this.
00:04:58My eyes are here.
00:05:04Daniel, you up here?
00:05:10Daniel, you up here?
00:05:14James.
00:05:16What is he doing here?
00:05:20What's wrong?
00:05:22You look rattled.
00:05:24Worried about how you're going to explain this to your husband?
00:05:26I need to go.
00:05:28If James catches us, it's over.
00:05:32Keep him around.
00:05:34Take him to the curb.
00:05:36You know I can give you whatever you want better than he ever could.
00:05:44Daniel.
00:05:46I'm coming.
00:05:52Oh, sorry.
00:05:54Keep going.
00:05:56What do you want?
00:06:00I want to feel your heart race.
00:06:02Only for me.
00:06:08Daniel.
00:06:10Please.
00:06:13Please.
00:06:17What am I doing?
00:06:29What kind of guy would invite me over while there's a woman?
00:06:37Why are you here?
00:06:43Wait.
00:06:45You're not thinking of...
00:06:47Please don't tell me you ran out to avoid seeing Daniel with someone else.
00:06:49You need to take this seriously.
00:06:51Keeping Daniel happy is our top priority.
00:06:59Yes, James.
00:07:01Sorry about earlier.
00:07:03Listen, I need you to set up
00:07:05a candlelit dinner
00:07:07as a surprise for my girl.
00:07:13Everything is set, Mr. Oster.
00:07:15Your sweetheart is going to be so touched
00:07:17by all of this.
00:07:23Can I ask which lovely lady you're waiting for?
00:07:27It's over between us.
00:07:29Look, he gave me a ring.
00:07:35You'll know when she arrives.
00:07:37I'm sorry.
00:07:40You'll know when she arrives.
00:08:00I'll, uh...
00:08:02go check on the food.
00:08:10Looks like he really cares
00:08:12about this date.
00:08:14Just gonna stand there?
00:08:16Here's the file you needed.
00:08:18See you tomorrow.
00:08:24What are you doing?
00:08:26What's wrong?
00:08:28Are you jealous?
00:08:30Jealous of my date?
00:08:32Of course not.
00:08:34Why would I be jealous?
00:08:36I hope you have a great date.
00:08:40We can't do this.
00:08:42Why not?
00:09:00You'll regret this, Emily!
00:09:06Emily!
00:09:09I swear you will regret this!
00:09:11Emily!
00:09:13I'm married.
00:09:15And you have a date.
00:09:17So what?
00:09:19So we should only have a boss-employee relationship.
00:09:21Please just don't toy with me
00:09:23like this anymore.
00:09:25I didn't start that kiss.
00:09:27I need to control my feelings
00:09:29for Daniel.
00:09:31Otherwise it'll only make things more complicated.
00:09:33It was just a slip-up.
00:09:35Daniel, we're done.
00:09:39Emily, you can choose again.
00:09:41Will you pick James or me?
00:09:45The treatment alone without proper insurance
00:09:47can cost over a million dollars.
00:09:49The surgery is critical
00:09:51for Daniel's survival.
00:09:55James, please. I swear I will pay you back.
00:09:57It's a special marriage contract.
00:09:59There's no divorce clause.
00:10:01That means if you would marry me,
00:10:03you can never leave me.
00:10:05I never thought about picking James.
00:10:08But do I really have a choice?
00:10:10If you pick me, this contract
00:10:12could be your compensation to James.
00:10:14It's what he's always wanted.
00:10:16Who do you think I am?
00:10:18Just something to trade
00:10:20or a tool for your pleasure?
00:10:22You clearly have a lover
00:10:24and yet you want to treat me like this?
00:10:26Is this how you're getting back at me?
00:10:28You didn't answer me.
00:10:30Me?
00:10:33Emily!
00:10:35What are you doing here?
00:10:41I just came to drop off
00:10:43some files.
00:10:45If I did anything wrong,
00:10:47I'm really sorry.
00:10:55Emily!
00:10:59Any updates on our family?
00:11:02Any updates on our partnership?
00:11:04I think I should resign.
00:11:06What's going on between you two?
00:11:08Are you hiding something from me?
00:11:10No, it's just the work pressure.
00:11:12Stop talking nonsense.
00:11:14Just make sure you serve him well.
00:11:16You're the one that wants to work with him,
00:11:18not me.
00:11:20Don't forget who helped you
00:11:22when you were struggling.
00:11:24Your mother's still in the hospital waiting for treatment money
00:11:26and I'm not giving you another dime.
00:11:28Frank, Mom still needs money
00:11:31and medical bills.
00:11:33I need to earn it.
00:11:35Baby,
00:11:37I'm sorry.
00:11:39I got a little carried away.
00:11:41The pressure at work has been
00:11:43intense.
00:11:45You understand, right?
00:11:47I love you.
00:11:49I don't want you to be Daniel's assistant either
00:11:51but we need to make this work for our future.
00:11:53I'll stay on as his assistant
00:11:55but it's for my own sake.
00:11:57Okay.
00:12:01Whatever you say.
00:12:03Just hurry back.
00:12:05He's still inside.
00:12:11Emily,
00:12:13he's not a good guy. Why can't you see that?
00:12:23You're bleeding!
00:12:25What happened?
00:12:27Wait here.
00:12:30I'll go get the first aid kit.
00:12:46So you actually care that I'm hurt?
00:12:48Of course I do.
00:12:54Just try to keep it dry for the next few days.
00:12:56You might get infected.
00:13:00Tell me you don't feel this.
00:13:04Right now.
00:13:06I'll leave you alone.
00:13:08Bye.
00:13:14This isn't right.
00:13:16Being with someone you don't love,
00:13:18that's what isn't right.
00:13:20So I should just be with the boss
00:13:22that likes to flirt with me?
00:13:24Why patch me up at all?
00:13:26I'm your assistant.
00:13:29You're more than my assistant.
00:13:31The way you act, how you look at me, it's like...
00:13:33Sorry, I'm loyal to my marriage
00:13:35and my husband is still out there.
00:13:37When you left me, you were cold as ice.
00:13:39Willing to sacrifice our love.
00:13:41How is being with James any different?
00:13:43Enough!
00:13:45Stop.
00:13:47Please.
00:13:55Mr. Oster.
00:13:58She already left.
00:14:00What?
00:14:02I didn't see her outside.
00:14:04She was unhappy
00:14:06with our arrangements.
00:14:08And has turned me down
00:14:10several times.
00:14:12What?
00:14:14What kind of woman would turn down someone like you?
00:14:16Just force her to be with you?
00:14:18Is that how you ended up with Emily?
00:14:20Actually, we're together because of her ex-boyfriend.
00:14:28What does her ex have to do with this?
00:14:32Sorry, I'm late.
00:14:40Hey, darling.
00:14:42I've been too busy to take you out this week.
00:14:44Let's change that tonight.
00:14:46We'll talk later.
00:14:48I'll wear your favorite uniform.
00:14:50Emily,
00:14:52you really should see his true colors.
00:14:54The marriage you're trying to build
00:14:57is a joke.
00:15:03This is the house special.
00:15:05The same one Vivian recommended to me
00:15:07when we first met two years ago.
00:15:11You've been fooling around with Vivian for two years.
00:15:17Quite the catch, James.
00:15:27What's going on
00:15:29between Emily and James?
00:15:39I need you to come pick me up.
00:15:41I can't drive with my hand.
00:15:53I need you to come pick me up.
00:15:56I can't drive with my hand.
00:15:58What?
00:16:00Are you serious?
00:16:02It's midnight.
00:16:04I'm about to get home.
00:16:06You know what? Just leave me.
00:16:08Just leave your boss on the side of the road.
00:16:10You're a great assistant.
00:16:12You're on a date.
00:16:14That's not part of my job.
00:16:16Call Sean.
00:16:18Sean's out of town.
00:16:20Then call a cab.
00:16:22And don't give me that nonsense
00:16:25He suffers all the time.
00:16:27I mean...
00:16:29You remember.
00:16:31Well, I don't have any cash on me.
00:16:33My car's bad.
00:16:35Then figure it out for yourself.
00:16:43Who does he think he is
00:16:45calling me at this hour?
00:16:47Oh, a billionaire
00:16:49can't get a ride home?
00:16:51Not my problem.
00:16:54I must be out of my mind to care about him.
00:17:25You're home now, so
00:17:27I should head out.
00:17:29You can stay.
00:17:31Just for a while.
00:17:33And...
00:17:35What's the catch?
00:17:37Boss and employee?
00:17:39Emily.
00:17:41It's me.
00:17:43Just tell me the truth.
00:17:45What's going on between you and James?
00:17:47I don't know.
00:17:49I don't know.
00:17:51I don't know.
00:17:54What did you hear?
00:17:58You know there's more to it.
00:18:00You don't just leave
00:18:02our life together with no reason.
00:18:08Believe what you want.
00:18:10I just wanted a life of luxury
00:18:12with someone who could provide for me.
00:18:14I can provide you
00:18:16any luxury.
00:18:18Come on.
00:18:20I can never measure up to you.
00:18:23If you just wanted a sexual plaything,
00:18:25find someone else.
00:18:27That's what you think I want?
00:18:29You're a public figure.
00:18:31It wouldn't be a good idea
00:18:33if either of us got too close.
00:18:35Too close? You mean like this?
00:18:53Is that Emily?
00:19:01Hello, Mother?
00:19:03It's been three years since you two broke up.
00:19:05Why can't you just let it go?
00:19:11Nanny,
00:19:13that was Emily, wasn't it?
00:19:15Do you remember what you were like
00:19:17after she left you?
00:19:19You seemed like you were
00:19:22You spent months just wandering around
00:19:24unable to let her go.
00:19:26Why are you reaching out again?
00:19:28Mom, please don't start.
00:19:30There's more to our breakup
00:19:32than you think.
00:19:34So what? She's married now.
00:19:36It's over, Daniel.
00:19:38No, it's not.
00:19:40You're a successful businessman.
00:19:42There's plenty of women
00:19:44out there for you.
00:19:48It's time to settle down.
00:19:51Take a look at these.
00:19:53See if anyone catches your eye.
00:19:55No, seriously. Take a look. Now.
00:20:05Do you actually care that I'm here?
00:20:07Of course I do.
00:20:09No.
00:20:11Mom, the only woman I've ever loved
00:20:13is Emily.
00:20:15What am I hearing right now?
00:20:17You're telling me you want to become
00:20:19the other man in her marriage?
00:20:21Emily is my world.
00:20:23I'll do whatever it takes
00:20:25to win her back.
00:20:31Damn it!
00:20:33They're at it again.
00:20:35Why are these assholes rushing me?
00:20:37I told them I'd pay up.
00:20:39If you knew it'd end up like this,
00:20:41you never should have gambled in the first place.
00:20:43Shut up.
00:20:45Don't lecture me, Emily.
00:20:47Did you see the partnership that night?
00:20:49If you pick me, this contract
00:20:51can be your compensation to James.
00:20:53It's what he's always wanted.
00:20:55He's still thinking it over?
00:20:57But I plan to quit after this.
00:20:59You can do whatever you want
00:21:01once the deal's wrapped up.
00:21:03But didn't you say you always wanted to work in design?
00:21:05There are plenty of new design firms
00:21:07out there. I'm just looking
00:21:09at other options.
00:21:11What a fool.
00:21:13The Oster Group is world-renowned.
00:21:15People would kill to be in your position.
00:21:17You're just gonna throw it away?
00:21:19Oster?
00:21:21Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:21:27Your broke ex, Oster?
00:21:29How could he ever compare
00:21:31to Mr. Oster, the billionaire?
00:21:33You need to close
00:21:35the deal with Daniel.
00:21:37If he falls through, we're all in trouble.
00:21:39Don't waste any more time. Go see him now.
00:21:45Daniel,
00:21:47I'm really sorry.
00:21:49I wouldn't be here if I had any other choice.
00:21:51Well, are you here
00:21:53as my business partner
00:21:55or my ex?
00:21:57I'm
00:21:59your business partner's wife.
00:22:01Look at you.
00:22:03Getting laid
00:22:05and still helping him count the cash.
00:22:07Well, as James knows,
00:22:09I'm a businessman.
00:22:11I only make deals that pay.
00:22:13I'm a businessman.
00:22:15I only make deals that benefit me.
00:22:17How would being James' business partner
00:22:19benefit me?
00:22:25What do you want?
00:22:27A year ago,
00:22:29James made a very bad bet
00:22:31with even worse people.
00:22:33And you still stayed with him.
00:22:35Why?
00:22:37You've been investigating us?
00:22:39You left me when I was broke.
00:22:41But you'll stay with James
00:22:43even when he's buried in debt.
00:22:45What are you really after?
00:22:49As long as James and I keep quiet,
00:22:51Daniel won't figure it out.
00:23:03Emily,
00:23:05tell me the truth.
00:23:07Then we can talk business.
00:23:09There is
00:23:11no other truth.
00:23:15I'll do anything
00:23:17as long as you sign the contract
00:23:19with James.
00:23:31Be with me
00:23:33tonight.
00:23:39When I guess
00:23:41you're not really serious
00:23:43about doing business with me.
00:23:45There's a gala
00:23:47tonight.
00:23:49You'd accompany me.
00:23:51I've never been
00:23:53to one of those events.
00:23:55Then forget the contract.
00:23:57Okay.
00:23:59I'll go.
00:24:10What are we doing here?
00:24:12I can't take you to the gala
00:24:14in that.
00:24:19Mr. Allster.
00:24:21Get her made up.
00:24:23Put her in the dress from the vault.
00:24:25That's the boss's
00:24:27most prized dress.
00:24:29He's never let anyone wear it.
00:24:31She must be someone important.
00:24:33Right away, Mr. Allster.
00:24:35If you don't like the way I look,
00:24:37you could always
00:24:39bring someone else.
00:24:41How about that precious
00:24:43date of yours?
00:24:45Jealous?
00:24:47Of course not.
00:24:49I just don't want to embarrass you.
00:24:51Since you're the
00:24:53star billionaire everyone talks about.
00:24:55From now on,
00:24:57you're the only one I'll take to events.
00:24:59Why?
00:25:01Because you're my personal
00:25:03assistant.
00:25:05What am I thinking?
00:25:07He only sees me as a plaything.
00:25:09Do I really think he'll ever cherish me?
00:25:13Miss?
00:25:15Please follow me.
00:25:23Am I really gonna wear this?
00:25:29How do I look?
00:25:35How do I look?
00:25:47The dress is perfect on you.
00:25:49What do you think?
00:25:55It's beautiful.
00:25:59I love it.
00:26:01It's perfect.
00:26:03Really?
00:26:05What do you like about it?
00:26:07The snowflakes.
00:26:09They remind me
00:26:11of that Christmas.
00:26:13I almost
00:26:15mentioned the proposal.
00:26:17I can't go there.
00:26:23I, uh...
00:26:25Oh!
00:26:29Which Christmas?
00:26:31I mean,
00:26:33the cut's great.
00:26:35The snowflakes, they're
00:26:37really striking.
00:26:39Really?
00:26:41You don't remember anything in particular?
00:26:43Have you really forgotten everything about us?
00:26:47Well, the sales associate
00:26:49said this is your most treasured dress.
00:26:51Is there a backstory?
00:26:57No.
00:26:59It's just a sample
00:27:01for next season's collection.
00:27:03Let's go. There's a gala waiting for us.
00:27:09Emily.
00:27:11You look amazing in that dress.
00:27:15It's a
00:27:17true masterpiece from a top-tier luxury
00:27:19design house.
00:27:21Of course. Boss worked a whole month
00:27:23putting that together.
00:27:25Shawn, the light's green.
00:27:27Why didn't the boss tell
00:27:29Emily this is the dress he's been working on
00:27:31for the past month?
00:27:51Oh
00:27:53my God!
00:27:55Is that Daniel Oster?
00:27:57Relax.
00:27:59You belong.
00:28:01Own it.
00:28:03I think this is the first time
00:28:05he's brought a date to a gala.
00:28:07The reclusive Daniel Oster?
00:28:09With a woman?
00:28:11There's gotta be something going on between them.
00:28:13Let your integrity speak for itself.
00:28:15And besides,
00:28:19you're with me.
00:28:21You have nothing to worry about.
00:28:25Look.
00:28:31He's escorting her by the arm now.
00:28:33This has to be his date.
00:28:37But why does she look so familiar?
00:28:39Wait.
00:28:41Wasn't she James' wife?
00:28:43I remember seeing her at the auction a few years ago.
00:28:45But then what's she doing here
00:28:47with Daniel?
00:28:49Do they?
00:28:51Come on.
00:28:55Oh, Mr. Oster.
00:28:57I am such
00:28:59a huge fan of you.
00:29:01I really admire your work.
00:29:05And this.
00:29:07I'm his assistant.
00:29:09Oh, his assistant!
00:29:11That makes sense.
00:29:13I couldn't picture Daniel with a married woman.
00:29:15If I ever hear you say that again,
00:29:19you'll deal with my lawyer directly.
00:29:22Yes, Mr. Oster.
00:29:27Of course.
00:29:29It's all about his reputation.
00:29:31We should keep our distance.
00:29:33No point in making things any messier.
00:29:35Mr. Oster.
00:29:37I didn't expect to see you here.
00:29:45Excuse us.
00:29:47I need a moment with my wife.
00:29:52So,
00:29:54Daniel's bringing you to events like this now.
00:29:56You must be doing pretty well with him.
00:29:58What's your point?
00:30:00You're the one who told me to meet him for business.
00:30:02Progress?
00:30:04He's all about money.
00:30:06He's not as easy to work with as you think.
00:30:08Yeah.
00:30:10Trying to get a penny out of this guy is like pulling teeth.
00:30:12You better figure it out.
00:30:14Creditors are getting restless.
00:30:16Why don't you figure it out for yourself?
00:30:18How dare you talk to me like that?
00:30:20Being Daniel's assistant doesn't mean you can forget where you came from.
00:30:22Figure it out,
00:30:24or we'll both be in the gutter.
00:30:28Well, well, well, look at you.
00:30:32You are beautiful.
00:30:34Caught my eye the moment you walked in.
00:30:36What about your dream job?
00:30:42Ah, Bart, from Royal Logistics.
00:30:44I didn't even recognize you there.
00:30:46Please, forgive me.
00:30:48Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol.
00:30:50Oh, come on.
00:30:52We both know that's not true, don't we?
00:30:54I just saw you drinking with Daniel.
00:30:56Emily,
00:30:58this is Bart,
00:31:00CEO of Logistics Empire.
00:31:02He has connections with over half of the design firms worldwide.
00:31:04Say hello.
00:31:08Hey, James, you wouldn't mind if I had
00:31:10a drink with your lovely wife, would you?
00:31:12Of course not.
00:31:14She'd be delighted.
00:31:16Stop acting up.
00:31:18It's just a drink.
00:31:24How about that drink, John?
00:31:34Bart!
00:31:36Always the eager beaver.
00:31:38Daniel!
00:31:40Long time no see.
00:31:42Do you know what the problem
00:31:44with your generation is?
00:31:46It's that you're all so uptight.
00:31:48It's just a drink.
00:31:50So what's with the attitude?
00:31:52You think you're too good for me, is that it?
00:31:56My assistant is
00:31:58just not used to your
00:32:00enthusiasm.
00:32:02Let's call it a night.
00:32:04So she's your assistant.
00:32:08You would think she would have
00:32:10a little bit more self.
00:32:18I'll admit,
00:32:20my assistant is a little spoiled.
00:32:22She's got a short temper.
00:32:24If she snaps,
00:32:26it'll be a scene.
00:32:28So what?
00:32:30At least I might teach her a little lesson.
00:32:32What is your problem?
00:32:34I offer you a drink
00:32:36and you turn it down?
00:32:38Look, I even noticed you.
00:32:40You need to learn
00:32:42to be a little bit more grateful.
00:32:44You're forcing me to drink?
00:32:46That's harassment.
00:32:48Harassment?
00:32:50Typical!
00:32:52Get all high and mighty with me.
00:32:54Nobody talks to me like that.
00:32:56Come here!
00:33:00God!
00:33:08You crazy bitch!
00:33:10Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are?
00:33:12Emily, what the hell are you doing?
00:33:14Apologize to Bart.
00:33:16He touched me!
00:33:18Disrespected me!
00:33:20Why should I apologize?
00:33:22Are you insane? He's a big deal.
00:33:24He has connections with over half the design firms
00:33:26worldwide. You can't afford to piss him off.
00:33:28Apologize!
00:33:30No.
00:33:32You can keep her in line.
00:33:34Make sure she never works in this industry again.
00:33:36Do you even know who I am?
00:33:38I'm the key partner
00:33:40in the Astro Group.
00:33:42One word from me
00:33:44and you're out of a job.
00:33:50Daniel, why didn't you stop me?
00:33:52I shouldn't have acted like that.
00:33:54I've really messed things up now.
00:33:56They say you're wild.
00:33:58Hard to tame.
00:34:00Maybe it's time
00:34:02you learned some restraint.
00:34:04Daniel,
00:34:06you obviously need to fire
00:34:08this rude, uncivilized woman.
00:34:10She doesn't belong here.
00:34:12Playing with fire is dangerous.
00:34:14Must have
00:34:16consequences.
00:34:18So this is what he thinks too?
00:34:20Just like James.
00:34:22I'm always the problem.
00:34:24Now go.
00:34:28Well, hold on.
00:34:30Hold on.
00:34:32I'm nothing if not a
00:34:34forgiving guy.
00:34:36You're willing to get down on your knees and apologize
00:34:38to me
00:34:40and let the whole thing slide.
00:34:42No.
00:34:46I won't have my dress ruined.
00:34:48Now just go!
00:34:50Daniel's never spoken to me
00:34:52like this before.
00:34:54I guess Bart really means something to him.
00:34:56Well,
00:34:58John.
00:35:00Daniel,
00:35:02you know I admire a guy with guts.
00:35:04With your drive,
00:35:06there's nothing you can't do.
00:35:14You wanted a drink,
00:35:16right Bart?
00:35:18I gotta tell you, I'm parched.
00:35:20I have to tell you.
00:35:22Ha!
00:35:28You take it to go.
00:35:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:35:38Are you crazy?
00:35:42About time I taught you
00:35:44a lesson, Bart.
00:35:46You're not some dog that can just keep yapping.
00:35:48Is this the hand
00:35:50you touched my assistant with?
00:35:52Is that what this is about, old woman?
00:35:54Daniel, I'm your biggest partner.
00:35:56Not anymore.
00:35:58Daniel, we've been partners for years.
00:36:02Come after me again
00:36:04and you'll regret it.
00:36:06Touch my people.
00:36:08I will hurt you like this hard.
00:36:12Okay!
00:36:14Oh!
00:36:18Looks like Emily's really earned Daniel's trust.
00:36:20This deal is locked.
00:36:22Our company is safe.
00:36:24Do you know how many design firms would kill to work with Bart?
00:36:26And Daniel just cuts him off
00:36:28over his assistant?
00:36:30Emily must be something else.
00:36:32I heard him say she's wild.
00:36:34I bet there's more to their story.
00:36:44Emily!
00:36:46I'm sorry.
00:36:48I didn't mean to cause a scene.
00:36:50I'll take responsibility
00:36:52for what happens. I understand if you need to fire me.
00:36:54When did I say I was
00:36:56going to fire you? I'm the CEO.
00:36:58You're the assistant.
00:37:00We'll all make the choices.
00:37:02Why isn't he angry with me?
00:37:04This is the perfect moment for him to explode.
00:37:06I'm still holding you.
00:37:14Come home with me.
00:37:20Why can't I refuse him?
00:37:30I prepared the bath water
00:37:32like you asked.
00:37:34Good.
00:37:36Wait here
00:37:38until I say you can go.
00:37:52James?
00:37:58James?
00:38:00I heard you left with Daniel.
00:38:02So did you bring up the partnership?
00:38:04This is not the time.
00:38:06You idiot.
00:38:08Him standing up for you tonight clearly shows he trusts you now.
00:38:10What are you talking about?
00:38:12Come on.
00:38:14Daniel attacked Bart for you, then cut all ties with him.
00:38:16That's huge.
00:38:18He did all that for me.
00:38:20Why didn't he tell me?
00:38:22Emily, are you even listening?
00:38:24Take this chance to talk to him about the deal before it's too late.
00:38:26You know how important this is.
00:38:28Yeah.
00:38:30Why is Daniel helping me?
00:38:32Does he still care about me?
00:38:38Daniel.
00:38:46Say no.
00:38:50Say no.
00:38:54You don't have to do this for me.
00:38:58He's your business partner.
00:39:02Get the business partners.
00:39:04You're the only one I care about.
00:39:06I want you here
00:39:08with me.
00:39:10I can't.
00:39:12This wouldn't be right.
00:39:14I'm jealous.
00:39:16I'm jealous of him.
00:39:18But I don't need to be.
00:39:20Because you're here with me.
00:39:22And you're all mine.
00:39:32Daniel.
00:39:50What did I do?
00:39:52I...
00:39:54I slept with Daniel?
00:39:56I must be out of my mind.
00:39:58How could I have done this?
00:40:02I don't know.
00:40:10Take the day off.
00:40:12And make breakfast.
00:40:16Emily, this is cheating.
00:40:18It's wrong.
00:40:20You need to get your life back on track
00:40:22before it gets even more complicated.
00:40:32Emily.
00:40:34I made your favorite.
00:40:36Pancakes.
00:40:38Daniel, we need to talk.
00:40:44I'm resigning.
00:40:48I'm really sorry, Daniel.
00:40:52Last night was a mistake.
00:40:54I'm married.
00:40:56So you're just going to sleep with me
00:40:58and kick me to the curb?
00:41:00I'm really sorry.
00:41:02You've got your life.
00:41:06This isn't right.
00:41:08James isn't right for you.
00:41:10Why can't you see that?
00:41:12Why are you being so naive?
00:41:14Sean.
00:41:28Sean.
00:41:30Yes, I need you to look into something for me.
00:41:32And I need you to take care of James.
00:41:34Now.
00:41:44You didn't come home last night.
00:41:48Where were you?
00:41:50I...
00:41:52I had to work late.
00:41:54I got caught up with something at work.
00:41:58That smells like men's cologne.
00:42:00Whose is it?
00:42:02It's Daniel's.
00:42:04We were discussing their contract.
00:42:08What?
00:42:10The signed documents were flagged
00:42:12and clients cancelled everything?
00:42:14This can't be happening.
00:42:18I've been in this business my entire life
00:42:20and I've never seen anything like this.
00:42:22Someone's setting me up.
00:42:24Hold on, another call.
00:42:26What?
00:42:28We agreed upon two months.
00:42:30How the hell am I supposed to come up with that much cash by next weekend?
00:42:32Shit!
00:42:34How is everything going wrong at once?
00:42:36I need to lay low for a while.
00:42:38We can't afford any more delays in the contract.
00:42:40Get Daniel to sign it
00:42:42or it won't just be us who suffer.
00:42:44It's for your mother too.
00:42:52Boss.
00:42:54I've taken care of everything you asked.
00:42:56James' company is drowning in trouble now.
00:42:58Boss.
00:43:00Are you really going to take that money from him like that?
00:43:02I'm not letting her suffer any longer.
00:43:06James needs to pay for what he's done.
00:43:10What?
00:43:20Emily, right?
00:43:22Be at the Crown Hotel, room 102 in 30 minutes
00:43:24or you can start planning your lover's funeral.
00:43:30Daniel, is he in trouble?
00:43:34Boss.
00:43:36We just got word that James' bookie might be targeting Emily now.
00:43:40Boss.
00:43:48Where have they taken Daniel?
00:43:54Where is he?
00:43:56I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:43:58James was supposed to pay today.
00:44:00Where the hell is he?
00:44:02James?
00:44:04I don't know. He hasn't reached out to me.
00:44:06I haven't seen him.
00:44:08Guess you'll have to do it.
00:44:10James is a piece of trash.
00:44:12When everything went to hell,
00:44:14he left you to clean up his mess.
00:44:20It's his mess.
00:44:22Go find him.
00:44:24Bitch, you still dare to call for help?
00:44:28You think James will come running
00:44:30if I mess up your face?
00:44:32Where is he?
00:44:38Where's the damn door?
00:44:44Who are you, asshole?
00:44:52Who are you, asshole?
00:44:54You're asking for trouble.
00:44:56Found him.
00:44:58Get away from that woman.
00:45:00Watch out!
00:45:18Emily.
00:45:20Are you okay?
00:45:22I'm fine.
00:45:24You're bleeding.
00:45:26Let me see.
00:45:28As long as you're okay.
00:45:30Like you said.
00:45:32Let's get you somewhere safe.
00:45:48How'd you know where to find me?
00:45:52You don't become the youngest billionaire
00:45:54without taking a few chances.
00:45:56I know where all my potential enemies are
00:45:58at all times.
00:46:00Never let anyone hurt you.
00:46:14James could be home any minute.
00:46:16We should probably go.
00:46:20James ran off
00:46:22and left you to clean up his mess.
00:46:24James, honestly, how can you still be defending him?
00:46:26Do you really still love him?
00:46:28Do you want to be married to him?
00:46:32Daniel, please.
00:46:34Don't ask.
00:46:36I don't want you to know about the past.
00:46:40It's too painful.
00:46:44He was good to me
00:46:46back then.
00:46:48I'm tired.
00:46:50We should probably go.
00:46:58You don't deserve this.
00:47:00We don't deserve this.
00:47:02Fuck!
00:47:06What am I doing, Daniel?
00:47:08Please.
00:47:10Don't be so kind to me.
00:47:19You shouldn't have let him leave like that.
00:47:21Without an umbrella,
00:47:23what if his wound gets infected?
00:47:25Daniel?
00:47:51Are you looking for me?
00:47:55No.
00:47:59I'm here.
00:48:13Don't you still care about me?
00:48:17I...
00:48:19I thought if a billionaire like you
00:48:21got cut out of the storm like this,
00:48:23Are you just looking out for yourself?
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:32You don't have to worry about it.
00:48:35All I need is you.
00:48:53All I need is you.
00:49:23What have I gotten myself into?
00:49:45I love you, Daniel, but I can't drag you into this toxic relationship.
00:49:50Hey, you kissed me.
00:49:57Just admit it. You love me.
00:50:06Divorce James. Marry me.
00:50:10Daniel.
00:50:20I'm sorry, but...
00:50:22Really? After how much he's hurt you, you still can't leave him?
00:50:35What the hell does that bastard have over you?
00:50:40We need to end this. I'm married.
00:50:45We've gone too far.
00:50:47Emily, please be with me.
00:50:51James's company is going bankrupt, right?
00:50:54If you stay with me, I'll invest in his company.
00:50:59What do you take me for? Some kind of object?
00:51:04Just... we're done here.
00:51:09Leave me alone.
00:51:17Emily, are you okay?
00:51:24I'm fine. Just go away.
00:51:47James is the only one who knew about my mother's hospitalization. Could it really be him?
00:52:11Emily, I need a favor.
00:52:13I found a new investor and he's willing to provide funding.
00:52:16But I need you to meet him for me.
00:52:18Come back and face this yourself, James. I almost died because of you.
00:52:23Please, just this once.
00:52:25Did you pay for my mother's medical bills? I just got the hospital notice.
00:52:31Uh, yeah, yeah.
00:52:33I wouldn't make the same price.
00:52:34Now please, help me out. I've sent you the address.
00:52:37Fine. But remember, this is the last time.
00:52:46Boss, I found out James has been talking to Barney.
00:52:54He's trying to offer Emily some sort of bargaining chip to secure funding.
00:52:58First he abuses her, then he treats her like some sort of commodity.
00:53:03I want him buried. He will regret this!
00:53:09I want James's company bankrupt. Tomorrow!
00:53:23So it's you. You're the one behind all of this? Why?
00:53:30Emily, please. You don't understand everything he's done.
00:53:34He's a jerk, I know, but the one who crossed the line, it's me!
00:53:40You don't know everything, Emily.
00:53:45Is this why you brought me here?
00:53:48I don't need you stepping in, Daniel! I can handle this on my own!
00:54:03Boss, Barney's been taking care of him. We found some type of sex dungeon at his place.
00:54:09Thankfully, Emily never made it there. If she had, it could have been bad. Did I tell her?
00:54:15No.
00:54:19No. Keep this between us.
00:54:38Where the hell have you been? My company's bankrupt. It's your fault!
00:54:54James!
00:54:56It's his fault! James!
00:54:59What the hell were you doing with Daniel all day? Nothing's helping. I asked you to meet Bart.
00:55:03Where the hell were you? The investor you mentioned is Bart?
00:55:07So what? He just wants to help us. I will do anything it takes to get my company back on track.
00:55:12Even if that means letting him degrade your wife?
00:55:14Shut up, you cursed woman. Ever since I got tied to you, my luck's gone to hell.
00:55:18Our company's ruined because of you! Don't pin this on me!
00:55:21You never take responsibility for your own mess, and I'm done being your scapegoat!
00:55:31Me?
00:55:37Me?
00:55:50Congratulations, Emily. You're four weeks pregnant.
00:55:54I can't believe I'm gonna have a child. Daniel's child. I can't let James know
00:56:10about the pregnancy, and I have to cut ties with Daniel. What about the baby?
00:56:24Are you all right?
00:56:29What did the doctor say? I'm fine. The doctor said everything's going to be okay.
00:56:33Please, let me see the report.
00:56:39This is personal. Please respect my privacy.
00:56:47Mr. Alster!
00:56:49Look, Mr. Alster, this is from your surgery. Emily left this behind.
00:56:56Could you give that to her for me, please? Thank you.
00:57:01Thank you, doctor.
00:57:19What the hell are you doing? You're preg-
00:57:32Four weeks? I haven't touched you in over a year.
00:57:38Who the hell is the father of this child? I'm sorry.
00:57:41I'm sorry.
00:57:47While I'm out here trying to save my company, you're sleeping with other men behind my back?
00:57:56Tell me who it is. Tell me which-
00:58:01guy you're sleeping with. You and that bastard are gonna regret it, I swear.
00:58:12What if I say it's me?
00:58:28You gotta be kidding me. When did this happen?
00:58:31If you'd paid any attention at all, you'd know how I feel about her.
00:58:35Wait, so you set her up as your assistant on purpose?
00:58:39So what?
00:58:40And you knew the whole time, acting like a saint, sleeping with him like a slut?
00:58:43You don't get to say that! You scum!
00:58:47You're an idiot. All that money, you couldn't find a decent woman?
00:58:51Instead, you chase this useless, pathetic woman?
00:58:54Enough, Daniel! Don't get dragged into this.
00:58:58James, you bastard. You two were cut from the same cloth.
00:59:03You'll end up betraying each other, mark my words.
00:59:06If you say one more thing about her, I'll never speak again.
00:59:19You might want to get that.
00:59:23God damn it, where are you? If you don't pay up, you're dead!
00:59:29You two, watch your backs. I'm not done with you.
00:59:35Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
00:59:46Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
00:59:51It's none of your concern.
00:59:53You're still hiding the truth from me.
00:59:56I'll give you whatever you want. You know I'm better than James.
01:00:00It's not a competition, Daniel. A child isn't going to prove anything.
01:00:05You're not with him anymore. I don't understand.
01:00:08He said all these things to you, and you're still defending him.
01:00:13Because the way that he confronted me just now, I couldn't even stand up for myself.
01:00:22I feel like I'm the one in the wrong. I'm the cheater.
01:00:29So this is it then? You're just gonna stay in this toxic place?
01:00:36James is right. But I wasn't any better.
01:00:40Sneaking around with you. I deserve the consequences of my actions.
01:00:46Evelyn, just answer me this.
01:00:51Do you regret it? The decision you made all those years ago?
01:00:56I wish I could stay by your side.
01:01:13I'm sorry.
01:01:14I've never regretted it. Not for a second.
01:01:45What the hell? Why are James' deaths coming to me?
01:02:02James, where the hell are you?
01:02:04In paradise, you idiot. Vivian actually knows how to please a man.
01:02:07And you, you crawl into Daniel's bed with those pathetic skills of yours.
01:02:11I'm done with you. Let's get this divorce over with.
01:02:15You're leaving her? Finally, after two years. I guess it's really worth it.
01:02:22Two years? You two have been together for two years?
01:02:27What did you think?
01:02:28Just a pretty face to meet. I never would have married you if it wasn't for that.
01:02:32Why did you keep paying my mother's medical bills?
01:02:35I never put a dime into that black hole. By the way, you're 20 million dollars in debt now.
01:02:40What the hell are you talking about?
01:02:42You transferred the debts to me?
01:02:45Think of it as my parting gift.
01:02:47You've got Daniel Reffer on your finger, right?
01:02:49Shouldn't be hard to get him to pay it off.
01:02:51You spread those lies again.
01:02:55Raven, you're a disgusting scumbag.
01:02:57You sign the papers.
01:02:58We're done.
01:03:12A hundred million dollars. That's the price for messing around with my wife.
01:03:17Call it compensation.
01:03:18My lawyer would call it extortion, James. He'd tear this apart in a minute.
01:03:22Oh, I don't think he will.
01:03:27I've got plenty more where that came from. Imagine if they went viral.
01:03:33Keep swinging, Daniel. Won't change a thing.
01:03:35Either pay her up or I'll make sure everyone sees these.
01:03:37Think she'll stay with you after that? Dream on.
01:03:42Take it. Delete everything you have on her.
01:03:50Get out of our lives forever.
01:03:53Who'd have thought Emily would mean so much to you?
01:03:55This could make things so much easier.
01:03:57Set me up.
01:04:07Write me or Emily again and it will be your last regret.
01:04:12Trust me, there is no hell deep enough that I won't find you.
01:04:17You think just because you're a CEO, you're untouchable?
01:04:20I'll expose you and that bitch.
01:04:22The so-called California billionaire stealing another man's wife.
01:04:26How do you think that's going to play out?
01:04:30You won't get the chance, James. I'm going to make sure you pay for everything.
01:04:36What's so special about her? Why are you doing this for her?
01:04:39You have no shame, James, on how you treat your wife.
01:04:44Why did she end up with you anyway?
01:04:48She never would have married me if it wasn't for her pathetic ex.
01:04:51What does her ex have to do with this?
01:04:56I lent her money to pay for that loser's medical bills. That's why she married me.
01:05:02Stephen Miller, Central District PD. You are under arrest for extortion intent to harm.
01:05:07Intent to harm? Look at my face!
01:05:11Tell it to the judge.
01:05:13I won't forget this. You two will always be trash.
01:05:21Emily, there's something I need to tell you.
01:05:24How could you do this to me?
01:05:26Do what?
01:05:27Everything.
01:05:28About James. The affair. The dead.
01:05:32Using me like some pawn.
01:05:34No. No, Emily, it wasn't like that. You don't understand, okay?
01:05:38Was it funny? Watching me look like a fool?
01:05:42I just... I needed to help you. You didn't...
01:05:46We didn't deserve this.
01:05:48Emily, where are you?
01:05:49I don't know who I am anymore.
01:05:52I've lost everything.
01:05:54I'm so tired. I can't do this anymore.
01:06:20Emily!
01:06:30Daniel, by the time you read this, I'll be gone.
01:06:35When we spoke, I had already made up my mind to end it all.
01:06:38I'm so tired. I've never really had a life of my own.
01:06:43Not since I married James.
01:06:45I never loved him.
01:06:47But I tried to be the wife he wanted.
01:06:51In the end, it was all a lie.
01:06:53You've been the light of my life.
01:06:55I'm grateful for you.
01:06:57Always. I love you.
01:07:00I always have.
01:07:01But I can't let you carry the weight of me.
01:07:04We don't belong in the same world anymore.
01:07:06You deserve so much better.
01:07:10For our child, I'll be strong.
01:07:13Please don't come looking for me.
01:07:16No.
01:07:18We deserve each other.
01:07:21And all I want is you.
01:07:36Hey, Mommy.
01:07:38Hey, Ma. Weren't you playing with Stacy?
01:07:41Stacy said she was gonna ride her bike around the block.
01:07:45So I came back.
01:07:47Honey, why don't you let me teach you how to ride a bike?
01:07:50It's not fair.
01:07:51All my friends learn from their daddies.
01:07:53When can I meet mine?
01:07:57Maybe one day, sweetie.
01:07:59How about this?
01:08:00You go next door and ask Mrs. Baker for your favorite treat.
01:08:05Snow cone?
01:08:06And tell her I said you can have extra syrup.
01:08:09Yay!
01:08:15Hey, Emily.
01:08:18It's been five years.
01:08:19Where are you?
01:08:23Daddy?
01:08:35What did you say?
01:08:36I've seen your pictures at my house.
01:08:40Probably saw me on TV.
01:08:42Can you teach me how to ride my bike?
01:08:46You don't know how?
01:08:52What's your name?
01:08:54Emma.
01:08:57Well, Emma, it's been a while for me.
01:09:00But I think we can manage.
01:09:06Okay, hold on to the handlebars tight.
01:09:09I think you already know.
01:09:11Okay, okay, pedal.
01:09:12Pedal.
01:09:14All right.
01:09:14Good.
01:09:15Watch your balance.
01:09:18I want to go faster.
01:09:20You can do it.
01:09:23Whoa.
01:09:26I did it!
01:09:27You did it!
01:09:33Snowflake Design.
01:09:34It's from the dress I designed for Emily years ago.
01:09:42Where'd you get that necklace?
01:09:43My mommy gave it to me.
01:09:44I've worn it since I was born.
01:09:46She said it was very special to her.
01:09:50Where's mommy?
01:09:52At the store.
01:09:54Can you take me there?
01:09:58Come on, let's go.
01:10:02Mommy!
01:10:11Look, it's you.
01:10:21Emma, why don't you go to the other one, okay?
01:10:25Okay, mommy.
01:10:29Annie, is it really you?
01:10:34Hey.
01:10:42Danny, is it really you?
01:10:46Five long years.
01:10:51I've been searching for you.
01:10:54And now that I have you, I'm never going to let you go again.
01:10:59You, our daughter, that's all that matters.
01:11:07I can only begin to understand the sacrifices you made for us.
01:11:11The medical bills, the money, James.
01:11:18I'll never let him hurt you again.
01:11:22I hurt you too.
01:11:25I was jealous and I was cruel and I'm so sorry.
01:11:29I'll do whatever it takes to make this right for our family.
01:11:36You've always been there for me.
01:11:38You kept helping me, supporting me.
01:11:44You even paid my mom's bills when I couldn't.
01:11:48You don't have to thank me for that.
01:11:58I'm not the woman you deserve.
01:12:03I've been torn apart.
01:12:04You deserve so much more.
01:12:09So much better than this, than me.
01:12:34Daniel, can you help me pick up Emma's toy?
01:12:56She's taking a nap.
01:13:01On it, honey.
01:13:03Hey, let me take that.
01:13:05The doctor said to stay off your feet.
01:13:08Let me help.
01:13:14Hold on, Mr. Oster.
01:13:17The doctor said we should wait until after the baby is born.
01:13:21Emily, you're like a drug.
01:13:26One touch and you can never get enough.
01:13:31I got you something.
01:13:32What is it?
01:13:39That's cute.
01:13:43No, it's this.
01:13:48What is it?
01:13:51My company, my properties, all my assets.
01:13:57They're yours.
01:13:59They've always been yours.
01:14:02After everything we've gone through, everything we're going to go through.
01:14:08I won't let anything in this world tear us apart again.
01:14:15Merry Christmas, Mr. Oster.
01:14:19Merry Christmas, Mr. Oster.
01:14:32Merry Christmas, Mr. Oster.
