00:00:00What does he look like?
00:00:02What? What's happening?
00:00:04I don't think you can see what he's wearing.
00:00:06Oh my sister!
00:00:08It's your new girlfriend!
00:00:10Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart, Lila Collins.
00:00:14We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:00:17I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:00:19No. Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:00:21You humiliate this family!
00:00:23You did what?
00:00:24The only way to kill a rumor is to start another one.
00:00:27I never knew marriage would spiral like this.
00:00:29The second Starlight Home would be gone, so would you.
00:00:32Lila, you don't know him.
00:00:38I hate him, and I hate myself.
00:00:48For just one fleeting moment, I wished it was real.
00:00:52What do you say?
00:00:54Beyoncé?
00:00:58Hey!
00:01:07I got this. I belong here.
00:01:21Hey, do you know who she is?
00:01:24No clue.
00:01:26I've never seen her before.
00:01:30How's everything? You got a plan?
00:01:32Anya, I'm in. Now I'll find Henry Vaughn and stop him.
00:01:35He's not getting his hands on our orphanage. Our home.
00:01:41Now, what does he look like?
00:01:44Mr. Vaughn. It's such a pleasure.
00:01:49We go live in ten minutes.
00:01:52I'll be back shortly.
00:01:57I can't believe we're talking to Henry Vaughn.
00:02:01Oh my God! His first public appearance!
00:02:04No one has ever seen him before this.
00:02:06Screams headlines. We need something big.
00:02:10Yeah, I'll confirm after your interview, okay?
00:02:12Alright? Thank you.
00:02:21No sign of Henry Vaughn. Where is he?
00:02:27Vaughn! What's happening?
00:02:29Probably just a glitch. You okay?
00:02:31My hair, it's stuck to your shirt. Can you please help?
00:02:35Hold still.
00:02:36Ow! Stop yanking!
00:02:38I'm not yanking. Be patient.
00:02:39Oh, please. Not so rough.
00:02:41Oh, please, just be slow. Come on. Come on, faster.
00:02:44Uh, hey, you may want to hear this.
00:02:48Hey, you should be slow. Come on. Be patient.
00:02:52I can't help it. Ow!
00:02:53I'm so sorry. Did that hurt?
00:02:55Just take off your shirt.
00:02:57In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:02:59We go live. Now!
00:03:01Just take off your shirt.
00:03:04In an elevator, that's not happening.
00:03:06Oh, I'll just do it.
00:03:09I'm so sorry.
00:03:13Come on, Mr. Vaughn. This is a new conference.
00:03:15This is some sort of pinky elevator play.
00:03:17This is how you get off your nerve, put your head in.
00:03:20How long have you been sexually involved with Mr. Vaughn?
00:03:24Wait!
00:03:32What happened?
00:03:33Did you even see him?
00:03:35Well, I did, but things got complicated.
00:03:41You're late. Again.
00:03:43I'm sorry, Linda, but I got stuck in a lift with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:46Oh, stop the bullshit. You with Henry Vaughn.
00:03:50Your names don't even belong in the same sentence.
00:03:53I know you're obsessed with the richest bachelor in the city,
00:03:57but you've got to come up with better excuses.
00:03:59But this time it's true.
00:04:00Listen, I know you used to be this hot-shot journalist,
00:04:04but that was ages ago.
00:04:06No one even wants to talk to you nowadays.
00:04:09Actually, I'd like to talk to her.
00:04:11David, don't you work for Henry Vaughn?
00:04:14Yes, and my boss would like a word with Miss Collins.
00:04:24Table five. He's waiting for you.
00:04:30Is this table five?
00:04:32Set.
00:04:33Oh, sorry, am I at the wrong table?
00:04:35Don't. We're causing a scene. We need to talk discreetly.
00:04:38Got it. CIA style, huh?
00:04:41You snuck into the banquet. Who were you looking for? What do you want?
00:04:45I... I was just curious.
00:04:48Don't lie to me.
00:04:50Okay, fine.
00:04:52I'm from Starlight Homes, the orphanage that you're planning to demolish.
00:04:56I'm telling you, you're making a huge mistake.
00:05:00Starlight Homes? The broke old orphanage?
00:05:03Yes, but it's our home.
00:05:06And you're tearing it down to build a shopping center?
00:05:09There are other orphanages in the city, better ones.
00:05:12No, but none like ours. Starlight is special.
00:05:15Don't turn.
00:05:17Don't raise your voice.
00:05:19Unless you want this place swarming with reporters in five minutes.
00:05:23Starlight means everything to us.
00:05:26Yes, it may be old, but it is full of love and memories,
00:05:31and it means the world to those kids.
00:05:34Everyone says the same thing. Everywhere.
00:05:37If I gave up, nothing would get built.
00:05:40You have a month to move out.
00:05:43It's a generous offer. I suggest you take it.
00:05:46No! Wait!
00:05:50No! Wait! I'm telling you the truth.
00:05:53You're making a huge mistake.
00:05:55About the elevator incident...
00:05:58I'll issue a statement soon.
00:06:01Don't say or do anything. It'll blow over.
00:06:15What an asshole.
00:06:20That stupid prick.
00:06:25Boss, I'll get to work right away.
00:06:27Oh no, Miss Collins. Don't work so hard.
00:06:29You've been non-stop. You deserve a break.
00:06:33Am I getting fired?
00:06:35What? No.
00:06:37You don't need to keep hiding it anymore.
00:06:39You're Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:06:41What?
00:06:43See? That's all over the news.
00:06:46Okay, that's a misunderstanding.
00:06:48Oh, come on. This photo, it's clearly you.
00:06:51Yes. It is me.
00:06:54I knew it.
00:06:56Our Lila could lend someone like Vaughn.
00:06:59Guys, it's her.
00:07:02Hey, maybe it's for the best.
00:07:05How so?
00:07:06We'll have leverage to negotiate with Henry Vaughn.
00:07:09He literally just said no to my face.
00:07:11He's just an arrogant shithead.
00:07:13Okay, then at least we can use it to our advantage
00:07:16and raise money for Starlight.
00:07:18What? Do you really think people will treat us differently?
00:07:21No. There is no way anyone would do that.
00:07:24Oh, I'll handle your assignments.
00:07:26Anything for Mr. Vaughn's girlfriend.
00:07:29I'll get you coffee from now on.
00:07:31You can have half my project, both of us.
00:07:33Lila, I'm promoting you to department manager.
00:07:36Effective immediately.
00:07:44I guess I'm his girlfriend.
00:07:48We'll launch an exclusive right away.
00:07:50Ten things you need to know about Henry Vaughn's sweetheart,
00:07:54Lila Collins.
00:07:55Wait, right now?
00:07:57No, Linder, hold on, no.
00:07:59I know she's a liar.
00:08:04Get the car ready.
00:08:06I'm going to settle this girlfriend nonsense.
00:08:12If I get the job, will I get to meet Henry Vaughn?
00:08:15Oh my God, oh my God, he's such a dream.
00:08:19Next.
00:08:23What is this supposed to be?
00:08:25I think I'm way hotter than your boyfriend.
00:08:30Next.
00:08:33Next.
00:08:37Can you introduce yourself?
00:08:39How about you introduce yourself?
00:08:41You know, I don't really dig the whole single-sided interview thing.
00:08:46I think it's toxic.
00:08:48Okay, next.
00:08:53Miss Collins, you remember me?
00:08:56Uh, your voice sounds familiar.
00:08:59Yes, I think I've heard it somewhere before.
00:09:02Wait, I do know you.
00:09:06I do know you.
00:09:07Yeah.
00:09:08You look just like Robert Pattinson.
00:09:13Should I remind you what happened in the elevator a few days ago?
00:09:16Oh, you're one of those people obsessed with my relationship with Henry Vaughn.
00:09:20Fine, fine, I'll give you what you came here for.
00:09:26Yes, Henry Vaughn is my boyfriend.
00:09:29In the elevator, he said he loved me.
00:09:31But guess what? I turned him down.
00:09:33He did?
00:09:34Yeah, of course.
00:09:35He begged me to accept his love, saying he'd skip the press conference if I didn't.
00:09:40Wow, really?
00:09:42Absolutely.
00:09:43You know, men, they're such simple creatures.
00:09:46I gave him one kiss, and then he completely lost it.
00:09:49He wanted to sleep with me, and then, well, I said no, of course.
00:09:53He was so heartbroken, he cancelled the whole event.
00:09:57Can you imagine?
00:09:59I truly can't.
00:10:00I mean, it's outrageous. Really.
00:10:02Oh, by the way, what's your name?
00:10:03I'm Henry.
00:10:04Oh, it doesn't matter. Forget it. You are hired.
00:10:07No, I don't want the job. I don't need...
00:10:14Mrs. Green's condition is getting worse.
00:10:18Yes, I'm on my way.
00:10:22Hey, newbie. You're coming with me.
00:10:28Your son is turning this family into a laughing stock.
00:10:33The deal was clear.
00:10:35Build the biggest shopping mall in the world, and then I'll make him heir.
00:10:38And now, look, the project's been delayed, and he's been seen cozying up with the enemy, some activist.
00:10:43It must be some misunderstanding.
00:10:45He's never let you down.
00:10:47Fix this, or I'll replace him, and you'll be out after him.
00:10:53Control your son.
00:10:57He's your son, too, you know.
00:11:00And I regret that every day.
00:11:09David?
00:11:11I need to know everything about Lila Collins.
00:11:25Is she okay?
00:11:26She's getting worse. She's not recognized anyone since yesterday.
00:11:33Mrs. Green, how are you?
00:11:36Mrs. Green, how are you feeling?
00:11:40I'm knitting sweaters for my children.
00:11:44You know, I have an orphanage.
00:11:47That's wonderful.
00:11:50You should see it. It's brand new.
00:11:55Do you know who I am?
00:11:57Mom?
00:12:01It's okay.
00:12:04It's okay.
00:12:07You're not my mom.
00:12:09No, but to me, you're just like a mother.
00:12:15And I'll save our home.
00:12:21Hey, newbie.
00:12:24Thanks for today.
00:12:26Just give me a sec, I'll go solve the payment.
00:12:30So heartbreaking. Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:37Did you hear about Starlight Homes?
00:12:39Of course. It's getting demolished next month.
00:12:42Poor Lila. What's she going to do?
00:12:44Right? Mrs. Green only shows brief moments of clarity when she visits that place.
00:12:48Once it's gone, she might never remember anything again.
00:12:51Such a shame. She's been taking care of Mrs. Green for ten years.
00:12:55And just like that, it's all disappearing.
00:12:58And for what? Just another massive shopping mall? Just wiping it out like that?
00:13:17I know. He's so dreamy.
00:13:20I hope he can visit every day.
00:13:28And this one, who's that for?
00:13:30This is for Sherry. She loves lavender.
00:13:35This one. What about this one?
00:13:37Lily. Of course. She just loves yellow.
00:13:59I'll see you next time.
00:14:01And the sweaters will be ready.
00:14:07She's really sweet.
00:14:08Thanks for coming with me today, newbie.
00:14:11I didn't really have a choice. You dragged me here.
00:14:14Well, still, thanks for not leaving.
00:14:20So, uh, Mrs. Green's the reason you won't leave Starlight Homes?
00:14:24I mean, you saved up all that money and you still won't move?
00:14:28Well, I haven't saved enough yet.
00:14:30And I haven't figured out what to do with Mrs. Green.
00:14:35The Vaughn Enterprise gave me an ultimatum.
00:14:38I have to be out next month. So, I guess that's it.
00:14:42Well, that's good.
00:14:46So, I guess that's it.
00:14:48What are you going to do?
00:14:50Whatever it takes. I'll sell everything I can if I have to.
00:14:53No matter what, I am protecting my home and my family.
00:14:58You said you were engaged with Henry Vaughn, right?
00:15:02I mean, he's rich enough to handle this without a second thought.
00:15:05Why didn't you ask him?
00:15:07You know why.
00:15:10It's a lie.
00:15:13You know why. It's a lie.
00:15:16Ready to tell the truth?
00:15:18Yes.
00:15:20The truth is...
00:15:25Henry Vaughn is a stinchy bastard.
00:15:28What?
00:15:29He's just one of those rich kids.
00:15:31You know, he's selfish and cold and he's completely indifferent to someone like us.
00:15:37He would never help the orphanage.
00:15:40Are you sure about that?
00:15:42Yes. That's why I turned him down.
00:15:45But he's so obsessed with me, he wouldn't let me go.
00:15:49Wow.
00:15:51If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to sell this necklace.
00:15:57Mrs. Green gave it to me on my 18th birthday.
00:16:00It means a lot to you.
00:16:02Yes.
00:16:05But then so does Mrs. Green and Starlight Homes.
00:16:10They were all I had growing up.
00:16:14I'll do anything I can to protect them.
00:16:17But that bastard Henry Vaughn, even a prey, I don't catch him.
00:16:31Oh no.
00:16:32Mr. Vaughn!
00:16:33Wait.
00:16:34Did someone just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:49Wait.
00:16:50Did somebody just say Mr. Vaughn?
00:16:54Careful.
00:17:04Hey.
00:17:09Newbie, what are you doing?
00:17:11I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:17:17You're so glued to your phone.
00:17:19You should be more careful.
00:17:21So, you were protecting me?
00:17:25Let's just say I didn't want my boss getting hurt on my first day.
00:17:30I knew it.
00:17:32You are the most responsible, detail-oriented assistant ever.
00:17:36Stick with me. Make sure you get promoted.
00:17:40Wait.
00:17:42From now on, whatever I have, I'll share it with you.
00:17:48I don't like chocolate.
00:17:50Nonsense.
00:17:52Everybody likes chocolate.
00:17:59Lila Collins.
00:18:01We've met before.
00:18:08Lila Collins.
00:18:11We've met before.
00:18:19Not to be nosy, but you're right.
00:18:22I don't like chocolate.
00:18:24I don't like chocolate.
00:18:27Not to be nosy, but you're really bad at this.
00:18:31It's none of your business.
00:18:33Who even are you?
00:18:35Same as everybody else here. I'm an orphan.
00:18:38They take kids your age?
00:18:40No, I've been here since I was two, but guess I was never good enough to get adopted.
00:18:45Oh, sorry.
00:18:47No, don't be. This place is my home.
00:18:50I wouldn't trade it for anything.
00:18:52Oh, what about you? Why are you here?
00:18:54There's an event.
00:18:57Oh, you're with the Vaughn family?
00:19:01Volunteering, giving back to the community, right?
00:19:06Why'd you say it like that?
00:19:08You know why rich people don't do charity unless PR and cameras are involved.
00:19:15But you seem different.
00:19:20A little clumsier, a bit less polished.
00:19:23You're not one of them, are you?
00:19:25Do I not look like one?
00:19:27No, you seem...
00:19:30I don't know, a little more human.
00:19:34Here, give me your hand.
00:19:37Come on.
00:19:41This is for you.
00:19:43I don't like chocolate.
00:19:45Nonsense. Everybody likes chocolate.
00:19:54You have let your father down.
00:19:57Let me guess, you're here about the rumor?
00:20:00You mean the scandal?
00:20:02Your father is furious.
00:20:04He's already talking about replacing you.
00:20:06Shocking. He's only been threatening that for the past 25 years.
00:20:09Henry, I didn't claw my way up the social ladder just to be thrown out of the Vaughn family.
00:20:15I'm sorry.
00:20:18Henry, I didn't claw my way up the social ladder just to be thrown out of the Vaughn family.
00:20:23You've made that clear for the past 25 years as well.
00:20:26This isn't a joke.
00:20:28Did you forget how they treat us like trash?
00:20:30Just because I was his nurse when I gave birth to you.
00:20:35It's a misunderstanding.
00:20:40It doesn't concern you.
00:20:42Good. Then fix it.
00:20:45Get rid of her and Starlight Homes.
00:20:48The deal was clear.
00:20:50Build the biggest shopping mall in the world and you'll be heir.
00:20:55We've been outcasts for too long, Henry.
00:20:58But you are his son.
00:21:01Prove it.
00:21:13You're late. I need to talk to you.
00:21:15Wait. I have to tell you something first.
00:21:17Mr. Rivers is coming. He is a huge client and he's having a meeting with me here.
00:21:22Victor Rivers? Since when is he important?
00:21:26He's agreed to read my project proposal.
00:21:28Listen, I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:21:30Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:21:32I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:21:34I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:21:36I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:21:38I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:21:40I'm not playing this assistant game with you.
00:21:42Oh, okay. I get it. I know this job isn't ideal, but please just help me land this deal.
00:21:47Look, I can save Starlight Homes.
00:21:50But if I get this money, I can help Mrs. Green move everybody out.
00:21:54And you saw her. You know how much she needs this money.
00:21:57Please just help me land this deal.
00:22:03I have one condition.
00:22:05Condition?
00:22:07If you get the money, you leave Starlight Homes.
00:22:15Take the money. Forget about the orphanage.
00:22:18Just go somewhere else and start over.
00:22:20Why do you care?
00:22:23Lila Collins?
00:22:25Oh, Mr. Rivers.
00:22:27It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:22:30It's a pleasure.
00:22:38Ahem.
00:22:41This is my assistant.
00:22:43I'm not your assistant.
00:22:45Sorry. He's a new hire.
00:22:47Has anyone ever told you you look like someone?
00:22:52Ah, yes. Vaughn.
00:22:58Ah, yes. It's Vaughn. Henry Vaughn.
00:23:00Robert Pattinson?
00:23:03Lila said I look like him, but I think I'm better looking.
00:23:08Sorry. He's just joking.
00:23:10Please, take a seat.
00:23:18This is my project proposal.
00:23:20Please feel free to ask any questions.
00:23:23Oh, well.
00:23:26As your, um, as Collins, Henry Vaughn's girlfriend, I'll be straightforward.
00:23:31I was thinking of gifting him a Chopard watch.
00:23:35What do you think?
00:23:37Uh, a what watch? Sorry?
00:23:40Surely you've heard of a Chopard watch?
00:23:44No, I, I guess watches are just a bit impractical.
00:23:49I just tend to use this.
00:23:54You are quite funny.
00:23:56I never imagined Vaughn would go for someone from your background.
00:24:02What do you two even talk about?
00:24:05Oh, you know, just life.
00:24:08Life? You call your cheap clothes and secondhand shoes life?
00:24:13You're from completely different worlds.
00:24:16Of course, maybe Vaughn finds your humour or your ignorance entertaining.
00:24:22Yeah, lucky me.
00:24:24But your private affairs with Vaughn are none of my concern.
00:24:28And as for your business proposal, I shan't be taking it forward.
00:24:32We only ever do business with people with class.
00:24:36Mr. Rivers, you haven't even looked at it yet.
00:24:38Please, please just give me a chance.
00:24:40Is this how you won over Henry Vaughn?
00:24:42By being desperate and clingy?
00:24:44Well, it won't work with me, Miss Collins.
00:24:46Don't come near me again. I'm allergic to poverty.
00:24:49No, please. You haven't even read it. Please just look at it.
00:24:56Mr. Rivers!
00:24:57I'm warning you, Miss Collins.
00:24:59Don't play these little games with me.
00:25:01What games? I'm just asking for a chance.
00:25:03You've proved you don't belong in this circle.
00:25:06And I'm not interested in your proposal.
00:25:08What? All this humiliation just because I don't know the brand of a luxury watch?
00:25:12Let me explain it so that you'll understand.
00:25:15Simple examples for someone like you.
00:25:18Think of it this way.
00:25:20You need a ticket to board a train to enter the theatre.
00:25:23And for certain business opportunities, you need a ticket too.
00:25:28A ticket?
00:25:29Exactly.
00:25:30Watches, cars, wines, houses, luxury.
00:25:34These are the tickets of the elite.
00:25:37Do you understand now?
00:25:39What, so I don't even qualify to sit and discuss business with you?
00:25:43Well, you might think dating Henry Vaughn means that you have stepped into this circle,
00:25:47but believe me, you haven't.
00:25:49And honestly, I think he will tire of you soon enough. I'm quite sure.
00:25:54Mr. Rivers, you don't know anything about me.
00:25:56Oh, come on. I know enough.
00:25:58And if you ever want to talk business opportunities, maybe clean up your appearance first.
00:26:03Showing up in old polyester is most impolite.
00:26:07Leaving so soon?
00:26:09Mr. Rivers, we haven't finished our conversation yet.
00:26:15No, I'm done. Step aside.
00:26:17No. Sit back down.
00:26:22I'm just getting started.
00:26:25What are you trying to do? Assistant, I'm warning you.
00:26:29Or what? You'll take away my ticket too? Charge me admission?
00:26:33Stay out of this.
00:26:34Apologize to her.
00:26:35What?
00:26:36The things you said were beyond rude. Offer her an apology now.
00:26:40Why would I do that? No.
00:26:43Victor Rivers, as you cling onto your crumbling family empire,
00:26:49you have no right to criticize a hardworking, self-made businesswoman.
00:26:54Oh, do shut up. I'll sue you for slander.
00:26:57Go ahead. Sue. I'm sure the judge would love to hear what you've said today.
00:27:02I'm calling my lawyer right now. You're finished.
00:27:05Lawyers can be tough. You really should apologize to him.
00:27:11The show power of 201. How much is that?
00:27:1425 million?
00:27:1625 million nowadays? How generous, Mr. Rivers.
00:27:21So?
00:27:22That's exactly my point. The price of nobility.
00:27:25And how much do you owe the bank?
00:27:30More than a few of those watches, right?
00:27:34I don't understand what you're talking about.
00:27:37What are you doing?
00:27:39A year ago, Henry Vaughn discovered corruption in your company
00:27:43and terminated all deals with you,
00:27:45leading to significant financial problems for your group.
00:27:50But yet, you need the banks to still believe that you're thriving,
00:27:53so you got super creative with the numbers,
00:27:55practically lying to them, correct?
00:27:57That's nonsense. That's bullshit.
00:28:00The funny thing is, though,
00:28:02that it was corruption that led to the breakdown with Henry Vaughn, wasn't it?
00:28:09But now you think a 201 is just going to buy that all back?
00:28:12It's more like a one-way ticket to jail.
00:28:17I shall sue you. It's all a lie.
00:28:19Fine. Call it a lie.
00:28:21We'll verify that in court.
00:28:23Hey, call your lawyer.
00:28:26Friendly advice?
00:28:28Your half-assed lawyer won't beat Barnes.
00:28:32I won't let this go.
00:28:34Your careers are over.
00:28:36I will end you.
00:28:38I doubt it.
00:28:40Please try.
00:28:42Keep me entertained.
00:28:48How would you know all of that?
00:28:52Who are you?
00:28:56Who are you?
00:28:58Listen, Lila.
00:29:00I'm actually...
00:29:02No. It doesn't matter anymore.
00:29:04We lost the deal.
00:29:06That's what matters.
00:29:08The deal?
00:29:10Victor wasn't here for your project.
00:29:12He was using you to get to Henry Vaughn.
00:29:14I know.
00:29:16But if there's even a sliver of a chance,
00:29:18I'll take it.
00:29:20You'd let him humiliate you like that?
00:29:22Look, you sound like you're from a good family.
00:29:25So here's the truth.
00:29:27The world isn't a fairy tale.
00:29:29Yeah, he'll mock me. So what?
00:29:31If it helps the people I care about,
00:29:33then I will swallow it.
00:29:36Money isn't worth this.
00:29:38It is when it protects the people that matter.
00:29:42I'm going to beg Victor you can go home.
00:29:44You're still chasing him? Even after what he said?
00:29:47Yes. But you can go home.
00:29:49Don't worry. I'll make sure Linda pays you.
00:29:56And thank you for standing up for me today.
00:29:59It was very nice of you.
00:30:02It's just not what I need at the moment.
00:30:05Leave it.
00:30:07It's none of your business.
00:30:11Damn it.
00:30:15David, get SparkUp magazine a sponsorship.
00:30:18SparkUp? Doesn't Lila Collins work there?
00:30:21Just give them the money and credit her.
00:30:25Get it done.
00:30:28This is a mess.
00:30:31But I can't watch her drown.
00:30:37Hey.
00:30:39You okay?
00:30:41Where's your heart assistant?
00:30:43This...
00:30:45Not the right one.
00:30:47Two days ago, you said you were going to get me a heart.
00:30:50I'm not going to get you a heart.
00:30:52I'm not going to get you a heart.
00:30:54Not the right one.
00:30:56Two days ago, you said he was the best assistant ever.
00:31:01And hello, he's a walking thirst trap.
00:31:06If you fired him, can I date him?
00:31:08No.
00:31:10I mean, stop joking.
00:31:12He's gone.
00:31:15Lila?
00:31:17What did you do?
00:31:19Linda, whatever it is, I promise I'll fix it.
00:31:21Fix it?
00:31:23The question is, how did you land such a big sponsor?
00:31:26Victor Rivers agreed to the project.
00:31:28Oh, forget Rivers. Vaughn's funding us.
00:31:31You really have Henry Vaughn wrapped around your little finger.
00:31:35Henry Vaughn?
00:31:38Sponsored us?
00:31:41They said they loved your project proposal.
00:31:43They read my project proposal?
00:31:45Yes. Lila, you're getting a raise.
00:31:48You and your assistant, whatever you two did, keep doing it.
00:31:54My assistant?
00:31:57Could it be...
00:32:00Henry?
00:32:04Hey, where are you going?
00:32:15This is the address HR gave me.
00:32:19This can't be right.
00:32:22This is where he lives?
00:32:28Your father is losing patience.
00:32:31What's the delay with them all?
00:32:33Starlight Homes is already moving out.
00:32:36Just throw them out. The clock is ticking.
00:32:38There are still children in there.
00:32:41You want me to toss them out onto the street?
00:32:43Like we were tossed aside?
00:32:45Do you have any idea how serious this is?
00:32:48Without your father's support, we will lose everything.
00:32:53The project will finish on time.
00:32:55It's too late.
00:32:57Your little charity case with that girl is all over the news.
00:33:01I can't clean up your mess anymore.
00:33:04What are you talking about?
00:33:06I've spoken to the Browns.
00:33:09Helen's returning soon. You'll marry her.
00:33:13No. No. Marriage wasn't part of the deal.
00:33:16Wake up, Henry.
00:33:18As the heir to Vaughn Enterprise, your marriage isn't a choice.
00:33:22It's a transaction.
00:33:25And it better be a good one.
00:33:31A contract marriage? It benefits no one?
00:33:35You're really willing to ruin two people without a second thought?
00:33:38Helen has agreed to this, Henry.
00:33:40You better accept your fate. It's not up for discussion.
00:33:44And it's worth it? Just to keep your place in this family?
00:33:47I have scheduled an exclusive interview.
00:33:50In 30 minutes, you will be on live broadcast, clarifying the scandal.
00:33:55And announcing your engagement to Helen.
00:33:58You're in a real hurry, aren't you?
00:34:02With or without you, the announcement will take place.
00:34:05Now, if you show up, it's just an engagement.
00:34:09If you don't, I'll take actions against Starlight Holmes and Lila Collins.
00:34:14Is this a threat?
00:34:17You think I care about Lila Collins?
00:34:23I knew what happened with Victor Rivers, Henry.
00:34:26You're just not yourself when you're with her.
00:34:30If you can't clean up your mess, I will.
00:34:35Like always.
00:35:05Where are you?
00:35:21Where are you?
00:35:24Where are you?
00:35:33Hey! Hey, stop!
00:35:49Whoa. That was close.
00:35:52Did she even realize how dangerous that was?
00:35:55Hi. Is there a Henry here?
00:35:59I really need to find my assistant.
00:36:03Does he live here or work here?
00:36:09What's going on? Do you know him or not?
00:36:12Did I get the wrong place?
00:36:15Hello? I know there is someone in there.
00:36:17Please, just open up. Please, I really need to...
00:36:22Henry.
00:36:32Henry.
00:36:37Henry.
00:36:40You're really here.
00:36:42What are you doing here?
00:36:43I got your address from HR.
00:36:45Wait, that's not important.
00:36:47Did you submit my proposal to Vaughn Enterprise?
00:36:51It was you!
00:36:53How do you know Vaughn Enterprise?
00:36:56So that's why you came?
00:36:58To investigate your sponsorship?
00:37:00Either way, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
00:37:04You fired me, remember?
00:37:07Look, I've got things to do.
00:37:11Let's not drag this out.
00:37:14I came to say thank you.
00:37:17I was out of line last time, I know that.
00:37:20You stood up for me against Victor Rivers and, look,
00:37:24I wanted to shut him down too, but
00:37:28I've gotten so used to just
00:37:31handling things on my own and swallowing my pride.
00:37:36But then you showed up.
00:37:40I don't know how to say this, but
00:37:44thank you.
00:37:47Also, I hate owing people and
00:37:49this will be nothing compared to what you did for me, but
00:37:52I would like to buy you dinner
00:37:56as a proper thank you.
00:38:00So what do you say?
00:38:02Dinner?
00:38:09Lila Collins,
00:38:12you may be my greatest mistake.
00:38:20Okay, I did say I'd treat you, but
00:38:24one meal here might cost me more than my entire paycheck.
00:38:29You said I could pick the place.
00:38:31I did, but...
00:38:37Aren't you going to answer that?
00:38:41It doesn't matter.
00:38:43I've already made my decision.
00:38:46I don't know why, but you seem different.
00:38:50Like there is a side to you I don't know.
00:38:52Breaking news.
00:38:53Laura Vaughan has just announced the engagement of
00:38:55Henry Vaughan and Helen Brown,
00:38:57heirs to two of the nation's largest enterprises.
00:39:00Mrs. Vaughan, your son was just involved in a scandal.
00:39:02How was he suddenly engaged?
00:39:03And how about his roommate girlfriend, Lila Collins?
00:39:06Is this a cover-up?
00:39:07I'll answer all your questions.
00:39:09First, regarding Miss Lila Collins,
00:39:12she has no romantic ties to my son.
00:39:16In fact, she is nothing but a liar,
00:39:18clinging to Henry in a desperate attempt for attention.
00:39:22I am formally announcing
00:39:24Miss Lila Collins and Starlight Homes
00:39:26will be facing legal action.
00:39:31You were never actually engaged to Henry Vaughan,
00:39:35were you?
00:39:36No, I admit it.
00:39:38But it was just a misunderstanding at first.
00:39:41I never meant for it to spiral like this.
00:39:44I needed a way to save Starlight Homes,
00:39:47and then one thing led to another,
00:39:50and, well, things got out of control.
00:39:54Laura Vaughan,
00:39:56well, things got out of control.
00:39:59Laura Vaughan is suing you.
00:40:02She's labeled you as a liar,
00:40:05and soon the entire public will believe it.
00:40:08And if they think you could lie about an engagement,
00:40:12they'd believe you'd lie about anything,
00:40:15including Starlight Homes.
00:40:17But that's the truth. It's not a lie.
00:40:19It doesn't matter.
00:40:20People believe what they want to believe.
00:40:23Why are you telling me this?
00:40:25Because I'm offering you an alternative.
00:40:27What kind of alternative?
00:40:31A real engagement.
00:40:34We turn the lie into the truth.
00:40:36What?
00:40:40How did they get here so fast?
00:40:42Because I invited them.
00:40:44You did what?
00:40:46The only way to kill a rumor
00:40:48is to start another one.
00:40:51What exactly are you planning?
00:40:53Did you really think
00:40:55an ordinary assistant would live in that house?
00:40:58No luxury brands by heart,
00:41:02and an inside knowledge of every industry?
00:41:06What are you saying?
00:41:09I told you I wasn't there for an interview.
00:41:13I was there for you.
00:41:17To meet someone who claimed to be...
00:41:22my fiancée.
00:41:24You're saying that you are...
00:41:29Mr. Vaughn! Mr. Vaughn!
00:41:31What's your statement on your mother's press conference?
00:41:33Is the engagement real?
00:41:35Why are you dining with Lila Collins right now?
00:41:37Who exactly is your fiancée?
00:41:40He is...
00:41:42Henry Vaughn.
00:41:49Mr. Vaughn, what is the statement on your mother?
00:41:52Please, everyone, you're disturbing me and my guest.
00:41:55I'll issue a statement soon, but for now, give us a moment.
00:42:13What exactly do you want?
00:42:15I want to make a deal.
00:42:17I'll give you enough money
00:42:19to relocate Starlight Homes.
00:42:22In exchange,
00:42:24we stay engaged,
00:42:26breaking off my marriage with Helen Brown.
00:42:29You think money is what I want?
00:42:31I want Starlight Homes.
00:42:32I want them to stop tearing down our home.
00:42:34I know your priority is Mrs. Green's care, right?
00:42:39I can make sure she gets the best treatment,
00:42:43best resources.
00:42:45I'll give you enough to rebuild Starlight Homes
00:42:49somewhere else, exactly as it is now.
00:42:52But you have to move.
00:42:55And this fake engagement?
00:42:58It's the only way to escape the wedding trap my mother has set.
00:43:02When this is all over,
00:43:04we can break off the engagement,
00:43:06you'll be free with your money,
00:43:09and you can open an orphanage anywhere in the world,
00:43:12for all I care.
00:43:14So that's why you called the press here,
00:43:17to force me into agreeing.
00:43:19I never had a real choice, did I?
00:43:22I don't think you have a choice, Lila.
00:43:26This is the only option.
00:43:30The great Henry Vaughn pretends to be my assistant,
00:43:34and plays me,
00:43:36and entertains me like some rich kid's game.
00:43:40What an honor.
00:43:45What do you say?
00:43:48Beyoncé?
00:43:53Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Vaughn!
00:43:55Are you going to make a statement tonight?
00:43:57Is Helen Braun the third wheel in all of this?
00:43:59Or is Lila Collins the one who's interfering?
00:44:01I understand this has been shocking for everyone,
00:44:04Lila and I included,
00:44:07but all I can say is that I admire Lila Collins immensely.
00:44:13Her personality, her strength,
00:44:18there's something about her I've never seen in anyone before.
00:44:22As for the press conference today,
00:44:25I had no prior knowledge of it.
00:44:27I want to extend my apologies to Miss Helen Braun.
00:44:30However, there is no romantic relationship between us.
00:44:34We are not engaged.
00:44:36You are engaged to Lila.
00:44:38Of course.
00:44:40All the rumors you've heard about us, it's true.
00:44:44Tonight's date speaks for itself.
00:44:48Right, Lila?
00:44:52Yes.
00:44:54Yes, that's right.
00:44:56Congratulations!
00:44:57This is incredible. Congrats.
00:45:02Special thanks to the woman by my side.
00:45:06I hate him.
00:45:08And I hate myself.
00:45:12Because for just one fleeting moment,
00:45:17I wished it was real.
00:45:22Evening to you too, Father.
00:45:24Don't call yourself my son and then humiliate this family.
00:45:29I told you to handle the mall project,
00:45:32shut down Starlight Homes,
00:45:34and instead you're seen with an activist.
00:45:37Henry must have been blackmailed.
00:45:39And you, a press conference turned into a joke.
00:45:42My interns could handle PR better than you.
00:45:46I've reached an agreement with Lila Collins.
00:45:48She'll move Starlight Homes within the week.
00:45:51The mall project won't be on schedule.
00:45:53It'll be a month ahead of time.
00:45:55And why would she move?
00:45:58Oh, what have you promised her?
00:46:01Don't tell me you've agreed to marry her.
00:46:04We went through hell negotiating the Brown family alliance.
00:46:07That marriage won't stop the rumors.
00:46:09It'll make them want to marry you.
00:46:13That marriage won't stop the rumors.
00:46:15It'll make them worse.
00:46:17Times have changed.
00:46:18People don't blindly believe tabloid scandal anymore.
00:46:21Sooner or later, someone's going to find out
00:46:23that we used power and intimidation
00:46:26to force Starlight Homes out.
00:46:28And when that happens, who's going to clear our name?
00:46:30The Browns?
00:46:32They never wanted this mess in the first place.
00:46:34This is the only way forward.
00:46:36I promise you.
00:46:38This mall, I'll see it done.
00:46:43This is your last chance.
00:46:47Once it's done, get rid of the girl.
00:46:56Don't make me regret this.
00:47:05You might be able to fool your father.
00:47:09You might be able to fool your father.
00:47:12But I know my son.
00:47:15It was to protect the girl, wasn't it?
00:47:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:25What did she do to you, Henry?
00:47:29Do you know how long we fought to get here?
00:47:31You fought.
00:47:34Have you ever stopped to think
00:47:36that we never wanted any of this in the first place?
00:47:39The wealth, the power.
00:47:41Sure, you gave me all of that, but at what cost?
00:47:44Pretending to be something that we're not?
00:47:47How is that any different from the people who resented us?
00:47:51You sound like those useless brats
00:47:54chasing after some fantasy called freedom.
00:47:58Tell me.
00:48:00Without money, without status,
00:48:02what do you have?
00:48:04Nothing.
00:48:06And when that day comes, the girl will be gone too.
00:48:11Come on.
00:48:34You again.
00:48:37The guy that came with the Vaughns.
00:48:39Their servant, right?
00:48:41You said I was a servant.
00:48:43Whatever.
00:48:44At least you're not that prick.
00:48:46Prick?
00:48:47Yeah.
00:48:48Henry Vaughn.
00:48:50Total nightmare.
00:48:55You've met him?
00:48:57No, not exactly.
00:48:59But I've seen him from a distance, surrounded by people,
00:49:01acting all important, like he's royalty or something.
00:49:05And you hate him for that?
00:49:07No.
00:49:08I hate him because every time he comes here,
00:49:10we have to spend days preparing.
00:49:12Mrs. Green is old and her health isn't great.
00:49:15But every time the Vaughns decide to use us
00:49:18as this little PR stunt,
00:49:20she has to get up, pose for photos,
00:49:23and look presentable.
00:49:26We scrub the halls,
00:49:28we rehearse fake answers for reporters,
00:49:30and we have to hide all our old toys.
00:49:34Oh, God forbid the Vaughns see how we really live.
00:49:39They don't care about us.
00:49:41All they care about is looking good.
00:49:46I see.
00:49:48So, yeah.
00:49:51I hope he stops coming.
00:49:53I hope I never see Henry Vaughn here again.
00:49:59But at least I met you.
00:50:01What's your name, anyway?
00:50:03You have to go.
00:50:04What? Why?
00:50:06Will I see you again?
00:50:11No.
00:50:13You won't.
00:50:21We met again, after all.
00:50:34Stick close.
00:50:36Breathe.
00:50:37Easy for you to say.
00:50:39Trust me.
00:50:40It wasn't easy at first.
00:50:45This is your first public appearance together.
00:50:47It's tonight's the date.
00:50:48Lila, how does it feel
00:50:49dating the city's most eligible bachelor?
00:50:51Breathe.
00:50:52Ignore everything else.
00:50:54They're staring.
00:50:55Why are they staring?
00:50:56Is something wrong with my dress?
00:50:58You're my fiancée.
00:51:00No one will question it.
00:51:03Mr. Vaughn, this is me and the family.
00:51:05Lila!
00:51:11Mr. Vaughn, this is me and the family.
00:51:13Lila!
00:51:27Have we met before?
00:51:29Why do you ask?
00:51:30You seem familiar.
00:51:32You have been to Starlight Homes before.
00:51:35We must have met there.
00:51:37No.
00:51:38Trust me, if I'd met someone this loud before,
00:51:41I probably would have remembered.
00:51:43Uh, excuse me?
00:51:45If I'd met you before,
00:51:46I would have remembered, too.
00:51:48Prick.
00:51:51Why are you laughing?
00:51:54Why are you laughing?
00:52:12Well, if it isn't my former fiancée
00:52:15and his charity case.
00:52:20She's my guest tonight.
00:52:21No, I'm joking.
00:52:24What, no warm welcome?
00:52:26We haven't seen each other in five years.
00:52:28We were never that close.
00:52:31Ouch.
00:52:32You've gotten meaner.
00:52:36Do you remember high school?
00:52:38Everyone used to call you the bastard's son.
00:52:41I was the only one shutting them up.
00:52:43Thanks for reminding me.
00:52:44Don't get me wrong.
00:52:45I mean, your background's messy.
00:52:48But men like your father,
00:52:49they do have plenty of affairs.
00:52:51Your mother being a nurse is not exactly shocking.
00:53:01You didn't know.
00:53:03Henry wasn't even raised in the Vaughn Mansion at first.
00:53:06There was a time that he was kicked out.
00:53:08That's enough, Helen.
00:53:12Why are you here?
00:53:14I'm just curious.
00:53:16I want to see what's really going on
00:53:17between you two lovebirds.
00:53:19And?
00:53:20What do you see?
00:53:21Exactly what I assumed.
00:53:25A fake engagement.
00:53:30You've had too much to drink, Helen.
00:53:33Honey, I haven't even started.
00:53:36But if you two want to continue your little pretend game,
00:53:39I'm happy to play along.
00:53:41We need to talk.
00:53:46Come on.
00:54:03You just left me standing there?
00:54:05What am I, a damn prop?
00:54:07She...
00:54:09She practically galled herself down.
00:54:13Ugh.
00:54:14Aww.
00:54:15Did I hurt your feelings?
00:54:18I'm just leaving.
00:54:20Wait!
00:54:22I like you,
00:54:23so I'm going to give you a little friendly warning.
00:54:26Stay away from Henry.
00:54:28He's mine.
00:54:32He's mine.
00:54:33Maybe you should tell him that.
00:54:35He's the one who called off your engagement.
00:54:37He said he was feeling trapped.
00:54:39Can you imagine?
00:54:41Like us feeling something like that?
00:54:43God thinks he's living in a Shakespearean tragedy.
00:54:46What exactly are you trying to say?
00:54:48That we understand each other.
00:54:52When Henry struggled to fit in,
00:54:54I was the one who helped him.
00:54:56I was the one who brought him into our circle.
00:54:59Without me, he would be no more than an illegitimate shadow.
00:55:02Are you saying he needs you?
00:55:04No.
00:55:05I'm saying I made him.
00:55:07And now, just because of you,
00:55:09he's ready to throw it all away.
00:55:10That's not happening.
00:55:12Let me fill you in.
00:55:14Henry promised his father that the second Starlight Home would be gone.
00:55:18So would you.
00:55:19I don't care.
00:55:20Really?
00:55:23Why don't you hear for yourself?
00:55:32We used power and intimidation to force Starlight Homes out.
00:55:36This is the only way forward.
00:55:38I promise you.
00:55:39This mall, I'll see it done.
00:55:49You take the bedroom, I'll take the couch.
00:55:52Do we really need to live together?
00:55:54Why did you rent an apartment just for this?
00:55:58This may be a fake engagement,
00:56:00but it needs to be convincing.
00:56:03I want a place just for us.
00:56:06No uninvited guests.
00:56:09You wouldn't want someone like me stepping foot in the Vaughn Mansion.
00:56:12That's not what I meant.
00:56:14Lila.
00:56:16Why do you always assume the worst?
00:56:20Get some rest.
00:56:29Why do rich people always put things so high?
00:56:33Try not to break it.
00:56:35It's expensive.
00:56:39I suppose that shelf would be a challenge for a short-legged corgi.
00:56:44I'm not.
00:56:46I'm not a corgi.
00:56:50Henry.
00:56:53Can I ask you something?
00:56:55And can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:03Can you promise me you won't lie to me?
00:57:06Depends on what you ask.
00:57:09Right.
00:57:11Of course.
00:57:13You made this engagement deal for Starlight Homes, right?
00:57:19A so-called win-win.
00:57:23Was it all just a new PR strategy for Vaughn Enterprise?
00:57:33Answer me.
00:57:35I already told you.
00:57:37You get what you want.
00:57:39And I get what I want.
00:57:41But what do you want, Henry?
00:57:43I don't get you.
00:57:45You could have thrown me out, but you didn't.
00:57:47You met Mrs. Green.
00:57:49You knew exactly what would break me, but you never, ever used it.
00:57:55You could have labeled me a liar.
00:57:58To paint me as the one who came in between you and Helen.
00:58:03But you didn't.
00:58:05Why?
00:58:07Was it all just a way to make sure I willingly move Starlight Homes?
00:58:12To fake an engagement?
00:58:16Was it worth it?
00:58:18Henry Vaughn.
00:58:20Why are you helping me?
00:58:26I made my terms clear.
00:58:29You need to move Starlight Homes within a week.
00:58:31No, that's not an answer.
00:58:36All my life, I've been pretending to be someone I'm not.
00:58:47My mother went through hell because of where she came from.
00:58:52She always said she didn't want me to suffer like she did, so I did what was expected.
00:58:59I pushed.
00:59:01I fought.
00:59:04I became the perfect heir.
00:59:09The one who deserved to lead the Vaughn family.
00:59:16But I'm not them.
00:59:20I never was.
00:59:22I know that.
00:59:26Everything you've said.
00:59:28Using Mrs. Green to threaten you.
00:59:31Forcing you all out without warning.
00:59:33I did consider it.
00:59:35Lila, I'm not a saint.
00:59:38The thought crossed my mind more than once.
00:59:43But you didn't.
00:59:46Look, I don't want to talk about us like this, not while everything's still a mess.
00:59:52But what I said about you.
00:59:56That I admire your resilience.
01:00:00You got to me.
01:00:04None of that was a lie.
01:00:10I think...
01:00:30Henry Vaughn.
01:00:32Don't betray my trust.
01:00:59Uh...
01:01:21It's just a call, my fiancé.
01:01:23It's not too much.
01:01:25Right?
01:01:30Okay.
01:01:35Lila?
01:01:36Oh, you picked up.
01:01:38Uh, I figured you left early this morning.
01:01:43So I was just checking if everything's okay.
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:50Oh, okay, well I'm just about to head out, so I...
01:01:52Lila, I'm really sorry, but can we talk later?
01:01:56Uh, yeah.
01:01:58Sure.
01:01:59Don't overthink it.
01:02:01My mother, she's in the hospital.
01:02:03What?
01:02:05What happened?
01:02:06Are you okay?
01:02:07I'm fine.
01:02:08Don't worry.
01:02:09I'll call you back soon, okay?
01:02:11Okay.
01:02:16What the hell happened?
01:02:27Lila, Mrs. Green is missing.
01:02:33What happened?
01:02:34Yesterday, someone came claiming that Starlight Homes is moving,
01:02:37and that they wanted to take her on one last visit.
01:02:39We refused.
01:02:41But then last night, she was taken from a ward.
01:02:44How can that happen?
01:02:45I'm so sorry, Lila.
01:02:47All the security footage was erased.
01:02:50Who would want to discharge her early?
01:02:53He said he was here on behalf of your fiancé, Henry Vaughan.
01:02:57Miss Collins, a word, please.
01:03:00We need to talk.
01:03:03Do you work for Henry or Vaughan Enterprise?
01:03:05Does it matter?
01:03:07They're the same.
01:03:08Not to me.
01:03:09I see what he meant.
01:03:10You're special.
01:03:12But special is never what this family needs.
01:03:15What do you want from me?
01:03:16Easy.
01:03:17Walk away now, and we'll make sure Mrs. Green gets the care that she needs.
01:03:24If you had this much power, you could make me disappear without a second thought.
01:03:29Why bother making me a deal?
01:03:32Consider Henry's last kindness to you.
01:03:35This isn't Henry's idea.
01:03:37You can't fool me.
01:03:38Isn't it, though?
01:03:40Lila, you don't know him.
01:03:43No, I know enough.
01:03:45Then ask him.
01:03:47Go. Find him. Confront him.
01:03:50Right now, you don't see it.
01:03:53But he's a part of this family.
01:03:55He's a Vaughan.
01:03:57And there's nothing that you can do about it.
01:04:06This is Henry Vaughan.
01:04:08Leave a message and I'll get back to you.
01:04:11It's fine.
01:04:13He's just busy.
01:04:19Henry.
01:04:32The number you have dialed is busy now.
01:04:34No.
01:04:37No.
01:04:39Henry Vaughan.
01:04:41Was this all a game to you?
01:04:44Yes, Doctor. I want the transfer arranged as soon as possible.
01:04:48That's great.
01:04:50I'll coordinate with her guardian.
01:04:52Sir, Mrs. Green has gone missing.
01:04:55What?
01:04:56Someone has taken her from the hospital.
01:04:58Find out who.
01:04:59No need.
01:05:03I just saved your career and secured your place within this family.
01:05:07You're welcome.
01:05:08What did she do?
01:05:09Well, you were going to get rid of that girl eventually.
01:05:11I simply sped things up.
01:05:12You threatened her?
01:05:14Don't be so dramatic.
01:05:16I arranged for Mrs. Green to receive top-tier medical care.
01:05:20And the only condition?
01:05:22Lila walks away from you.
01:05:28How long do you plan to control my life?
01:05:33Wake up, Henry.
01:05:35You are not just yourself.
01:05:37You are Richard Vaughan's son.
01:05:39My son.
01:05:40And the heir to this family.
01:05:43Have you still not figured that out?
01:05:45Did I ever get a say in any of this?
01:05:51Get back here!
01:05:52Mrs. Vaughan!
01:05:54Mrs. Vaughan!
01:05:57You okay?
01:06:01What are you doing here?
01:06:03Well, considering it's my family's hospital, did you really think I wouldn't show?
01:06:08They said it was exhaustion.
01:06:12This isn't your fault.
01:06:14You've done everything that she's ever expected of you.
01:06:17Don't blame yourself.
01:06:19I'm not blaming you.
01:06:21I'm not blaming you.
01:06:23Don't blame yourself.
01:06:25I'm not blaming myself.
01:06:29I just don't know when it became so hard to be around her.
01:06:35I checked with the doctors.
01:06:37They said that she'd wake soon.
01:06:41Everything's gonna be fine.
01:06:47And really, you couldn't have picked a better hospital.
01:06:53Speaking of which, I have a little update on your fiancé's family situation.
01:06:59You mean Mrs. Greenwood?
01:07:01JHU's doing a new study on VR-assisted memory recovery.
01:07:06They're willing to fast-track her treatment.
01:07:10That's great.
01:07:13Thank you, Helen.
01:07:15No need to thank me.
01:07:17We're friends, aren't we?
01:07:24You really want to thank me?
01:07:31See? Catching up with me isn't so bad, is it?
01:07:34Today hasn't been the worst.
01:07:37You do remember that we're still friends, right?
01:07:40Even though our engagement's off.
01:07:43Now that we're on the topic of it,
01:07:45I do have to ask.
01:07:48Are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:07:50Are you sure you don't want to marry me?
01:07:54A union between our families, we could withstand anything.
01:07:56Helen, I'm serious about Lila.
01:08:01I haven't told her yet,
01:08:04but I love her.
01:08:09Wow.
01:08:13I don't think I've ever heard you use that word before.
01:08:15And neither have I.
01:08:18Until now.
01:08:30Come on.
01:08:32Just one meal.
01:08:34Can I have my friend's full attention for just once?
01:08:36It'll just be one second.
01:08:38Just wait until I explain about Mrs. Green's treatment.
01:08:41Then you can give her all the details at once.
01:08:44Wouldn't that be better?
01:08:48Bye.
01:09:00So the study is still in early works.
01:09:03But if you want her to have a shot,
01:09:04then she should be transferred as soon as possible.
01:09:07I see.
01:09:08I'll talk to Lila.
01:09:10Thank you, Helen.
01:09:17I like her, you know.
01:09:18She's...
01:09:21different.
01:09:23Cute.
01:09:31I need to take this.
01:09:32Lila won't keep calling unless it's urgent.
01:09:34I just thought of something.
01:09:36How about we both go to the hospital together
01:09:38and we'll tell her the news in person?
01:09:48Helen.
01:09:50What are you doing?
01:09:52You've been trying to distract me since we sat down.
01:09:55What exactly are you planning?
01:09:59I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:00You're stalling.
01:10:01Why?
01:10:02Henry, I swear I...
01:10:03I'm warning you.
01:10:05Tell me.
01:10:06Now.
01:10:18What did you do to Lila?
01:10:19Nothing.
01:10:20You better be telling the truth.
01:10:27He never even saw me.
01:10:36I should never have trusted him.
01:10:42Don't go, Lila.
01:10:47Liar, don't touch me.
01:10:50Lila, I didn't lie to you.
01:10:51Go have dinner with your real fiancé.
01:10:53Goodbye.
01:10:55You saw us?
01:10:56Oh.
01:10:57So you're finally admitting it.
01:10:58Great.
01:10:59Just fantastic.
01:11:01Mrs. Green is missing
01:11:02and you're out having some romantic meal with Helen.
01:11:05What did you just say?
01:11:06Mrs. Green is missing?
01:11:07Yes.
01:11:08Genius.
01:11:09David had her taken.
01:11:10He said you ordered it,
01:11:11but I'm not stupid.
01:11:12I know that you would never do something so pointless.
01:11:14It's my mother.
01:11:16She must have planned this with Helen.
01:11:17No wonder she was pushing the treatment conversation.
01:11:19You know what?
01:11:20It doesn't matter anymore.
01:11:22If you want me gone,
01:11:23just say it.
01:11:24Okay?
01:11:26I will make it easy for you.
01:11:27You can have your happily ever after.
01:11:29My happily ever after is only with you.
01:11:34Stop lying, please.
01:11:36You're using me.
01:11:37And you said you were at the hospital with Laura,
01:11:40but you weren't,
01:11:41and then you hung up on me and...
01:11:45I'm sorry.
01:11:50Let go.
01:11:51Just listen to me, please.
01:11:53Okay?
01:11:55My mother did collapse earlier.
01:11:58I took her to the hospital.
01:12:00She's stable now.
01:12:02Helen only showed up
01:12:03because it was her family's hospital.
01:12:06She came to find me.
01:12:07I didn't know anything about Mrs. Green being taken.
01:12:10Okay?
01:12:11I swear.
01:12:12I already suspected David was reporting my movements to my family,
01:12:15so I had someone tail him.
01:12:17You...
01:12:18You did?
01:12:19Yeah.
01:12:20We'll find Mrs. Green.
01:12:22Soon.
01:12:23I promise you, Lila,
01:12:25nobody is going to hurt your family.
01:12:27What about lunch?
01:12:29Helen told me about this new treatment,
01:12:32one that could help Mrs. Green recover her memory.
01:12:36I was relieved.
01:12:38Okay? That's all we talked about.
01:12:41She set me up.
01:12:42Lila.
01:12:43She knew you'd see us.
01:12:45She knew you'd call.
01:12:46And I'm betting she had David tip her off to your whereabouts
01:12:49just to make you doubt me.
01:12:52Lila.
01:12:54Can you forgive me?
01:13:00Now's not the time.
01:13:03You're right.
01:13:05When this is all over,
01:13:08we'll have plenty of time to talk about us.
01:13:16Come on.
01:13:17I know where Mrs. Green is.
01:13:20Let's go take her home.
01:13:29How?
01:13:31How did she get here?
01:13:33David moved her to a different hospital.
01:13:36But she must have found her way back here.
01:13:40He remembers this place?
01:13:42Yes, Lila.
01:13:43Maybe she remembers more than we think.
01:13:46And if we give her enough time,
01:13:48maybe she'll remember everything.
01:14:06You've come to tell me your decision, haven't you?
01:14:11You always said you know me.
01:14:14You should already know my decision.
01:14:17You're going to ruin everything.
01:14:20No.
01:14:21Everything's saved because of her.
01:14:27What about the mall project?
01:14:29Have you thought about that?
01:14:31We're still building
01:14:33the biggest shopping center in the world.
01:14:35But it will be unlike any other.
01:14:38There will be a park inside.
01:14:40And at its heart,
01:14:41the best orphanage in the world.
01:14:43You're keeping Starlight Homes?
01:14:46Because it belongs there.
01:14:48I'm not tearing it down.
01:14:50I'm making it better.
01:14:52We'll rebuild it into something brighter,
01:14:54something real.
01:14:56And what about your father?
01:14:59He won't stand for this.
01:15:00He wasn't happy at first.
01:15:02Then he saw the stock price.
01:15:06I used to think
01:15:08that love meant obeying you.
01:15:12Meeting every expectation you set.
01:15:16But love isn't about becoming
01:15:18what someone else wants you to be.
01:15:22It's about accepting who you really are.
01:15:26I hope that,
01:15:28that one day,
01:15:30you'll love me that way too.
01:16:00I've been thinking
01:16:02about why you feel so familiar.
01:16:08And?
01:16:10I used to hate it
01:16:11when the Bullens came to Starlight Homes.
01:16:13But one day, that changed.
01:16:16Why?
01:16:17Because I met a
01:16:20very handsome,
01:16:23but very quiet,
01:16:24very kind boy.
01:16:28How handsome?
01:16:31I'm sorry it took me so long to recognize you.
01:16:35You're forgiven.
01:16:38I love you.
