00:00I zoomed past other cars, my foot hitting the accelerator at every turn, as my friend Vanessa screamed for her life.
00:09Just then, I saw this police car tailing us and pulled to the side.
00:13Just do as I say, okay?
00:14Like I have a choice. Shut it.
00:16Oh, hey, officer. Was I going too fast?
00:20May I see your license, please?
00:22Oh, sure, officer cutie.
00:25It's Kyure.
00:27Oopsie, my bad.
00:29You know, I had this dream last night that I was stopped by a policeman, and we went to this cute place by the ocean and shared a cold latte, since it's so hot these days.
00:39I mean, talk about global warming. You think it's getting hot in here? I think it is.
00:44What do you think, Vanessa?
00:45I think you should shut up.
00:47I think so, too. Now, please step out of the car.
00:51Really? None of my flirting worked, huh?
00:53Then I guess. I have no choice but to do this.
00:57And I stepped on the gas and sped the car away.
01:00Hi, everyone. I'm Sage, and I'm about to tell you how I messed up my life.
01:05But before we get into that, please like and subscribe to MSA.
01:08I lived with my single mother and my twin sister Zoe in a small apartment in downtown New York.
01:15We didn't know anything about Dad, except that he was a loser who turned his back on Mom and left her totally heartbroken.
01:22One day you're going to come back crawling and begging for forgiveness, and I will spit on your face and make you cry. Mark my words!
01:30That never happened. And Mom never found her true love again. That didn't stop her from trying, though.
01:38She worked as a receptionist at this fancy resort outside town, where she met tons of new people.
01:44Every month, she would date some new guy who would break her heart, and she'd become a sobbing mess.
01:50Like this one time, when Zoe and I were 10, Mom started dating this Italian guy who left her because her pasta was too salty.
01:58It's garbage!
01:59At 13, there was a biker guy who thought it was a cool idea to teach Mom how to ride a bike.
02:06Needless to say, Mom fell, broke her arm, and couldn't work for weeks.
02:11And then, a year later, Mom met this Indian guy who even moved in with us.
02:15Take a deep breath in. Now exhale. Now inhale. Now inhale and exhale at the same time.
02:26It's 5 in the morning, dude. Can we speed this up?
02:31Yoga is all about patience. The more you practice it, the better you get. Now, let's try again.
02:37Ugh, so annoying. But Mom thought he was perfect and sold off her jewelry to invest in his stupid yoga retreat.
02:45But he just pocketed all the money and disappeared without a trace.
02:49How could I be so stupid? We were planning to set up this cute bakery next to the yoga retreat.
02:59He'd teach yoga and I'd bake cookies.
03:02You know, yoga's a form of exercise, right? Cookies are kind of counterproductive.
03:07Ugh, why are you like that?
03:09Like what? Smart and practical?
03:12No. Mean and heartless. Can't you see Mom's in pain?
03:16Maybe I was a bit heartless.
03:19Growing up poor makes you accept reality in a harsh way.
03:22But with Zoe, it was different.
03:25She was Delulu.
03:26Thanks to Mom and her awful choice in men,
03:29she grew up thinking that the only way to have a good life
03:32was to get your hooks into someone rich and successful.
03:35I was reading this fashion blog and they said if I sleep with a clothespin on my nose,
03:40I'll get the perfect upturned nose like most rich people have.
03:43That's the stupidest thing I've heard.
03:45Your nose is just fine.
03:47Can't hurt to make it better.
03:49And what do you know about fashion and skin care?
03:52She even tried poking her cheeks with pencils so she'd get dimples.
03:57When that failed, she turned to stupid home remedies.
04:00Ugh, it's just getting worse before it gets better, right?
04:04What do I know about fashion and skin care?
04:07So, yeah, Zoe and I were poles apart and Mom was always weird.
04:13And things just got worse when we turned 18.
04:16Mom met some guy at her resort, fell in love,
04:19and a week later they got married and moved to Spain.
04:23She promised to stay in touch,
04:25but all we got were a few bucks and occasional phone calls.
04:29With bills piling up,
04:30Zoe and I had to pick up housekeeping jobs at the resort.
04:33The pay wasn't great, but it was enough to cover school.
04:36We even got a room to stay in,
04:38which was a huge downgrade from our apartment.
04:42Okay, we need to make this work.
04:44Zoe, you take the broom and I'll dust the shelves.
04:47Uh, I just got a manicure done, so count me out.
04:51Where did you get the money?
04:53Wait, have you been using my savings?
04:56Yeah, but think of it as an investment in our future.
05:00See, what if tomorrow I run into some rich bachelor who asks me out,
05:04then falls madly in love with me, and we get married?
05:07And when we move to our fancy new house,
05:10I'll even set up a place for you in the garage,
05:13where you can stay with your girlfriend and cats.
05:17What girlfriend?
05:18Your girlfriend, silly.
05:21You don't need to stay in the closet forever.
05:24It's 2024.
05:25I'm not gay, Zoe.
05:27I just don't have time for stupid boys.
05:29Now help me, or I'll make you sleep on the floor.
05:32The next few days were tough.
05:34I woke up extra early, worked my shift, went to school,
05:38came back, worked again, and passed out.
05:40But Zoe barely showed up at work
05:43and was more busy flirting with some guy or the other.
05:46And then, on the night of our graduation party,
05:49Zoe and I were getting ready
05:50when I spotted this huge diamond ring on her finger.
05:54Where did you get this from?
05:55Uh, I bought it?
05:58By selling your kidneys?
06:00Ugh, stop yelling!
06:02Okay, fine.
06:03I found this lying by the sink in a room I was cleaning today,
06:05so I borrowed it for the party tonight.
06:09And don't worry,
06:10the guest isn't going to be back before tomorrow morning,
06:13so I have plenty of time to put it back.
06:15And what if they come back early,
06:17realize their million-dollar rock is missing,
06:19and they trace it right to you?
06:22Pfft, why would they assume it's me?
06:25Because you're a maid,
06:26and the maid is always the thief!
06:29Who else would go in the room?
06:31Oh my god, you're right!
06:33How did I not think about that?
06:35Oh, they'll catch me and throw me in jail!
06:38I'm too pretty to go to jail!
06:39Plus, no rich guy will marry an ex-convict!
06:42My life will be over before it even begins!
06:45Just shut up for two minutes!
06:47Zoe told me the room number,
06:49and I double-checked at the reception,
06:51and thankfully, the guest was still out.
06:53This was the perfect chance to put the ring back,
06:55so I tiptoed my way across the hall,
06:58popped out the master key,
07:00and was about to open the door,
07:01when suddenly,
07:02my eyes fell on the most perfect guy ever.
07:06His beautiful black hair
07:08matched his perfectly fitting tuxedo,
07:10and he radiated elegance and confidence with his walk.
07:14I was sure he was an important guest,
07:17but then,
07:18he stopped right next to me.
07:19Almost there,
07:20sketchy to be ready on time.
07:21Uh,
07:23you're talking to me?
07:25Do you see anyone else around?
07:27Let's leave, shall we?
07:28Leave for...
07:30Our date?
07:31I'm Carter.
07:32Our dad set us up.
07:34Vanessa,
07:35I thought you had seen my picture.
07:37I wanted to see yours,
07:38but you're not on social media,
07:40and your dad said you hate getting photographed.
07:42But I have your room number,
07:44709,
07:45so it's gotta be you.
07:46Unless you lurk around other people's rooms for some reason.
07:50No!
07:51Why would I do that?
07:53Of course it's me.
07:54I am she,
07:55Vanessa.
07:56And yes,
07:57of course,
07:58I've seen your picture,
07:59but you have one of those faces that isn't very memorable.
08:03A complete lie!
08:04Okay,
08:05we have a reservation at the pier,
08:07and I don't want to lose the table.
08:09So let's go?
08:10I smiled weakly,
08:11as Carter led me to his chauffeur-driven car.
08:15Had I just panicked and ended up on someone else's blind date?
08:19At one of the fanciest French restaurants in town?
08:22I quickly texted Zoe to go to the graduation party without me,
08:26as we were led to our table.
08:27I was overwhelmed by the freaking number of forks on the table,
08:32and I couldn't understand anything on the menu.
08:34I just let Carter order for me,
08:36and we made awkward small talk,
08:38and then fell silent.
08:40Good lord,
08:41I'd never imagined a date with a gorgeous guy could be this painful.
08:45So,
08:46Vanessa's a lovely name?
08:48Uh,
08:49yeah,
08:50I guess.
08:51I've never met a Vanessa.
08:52Except myself.
08:54I'm actually named after Venice.
08:57Do you like Venice?
08:58It's nice,
08:59yes,
08:59but I like staying more.
09:01I travel a lot,
09:02actually.
09:03It's my way of taking a break.
09:05A break from what?
09:06You know,
09:07endless meetings,
09:08parties,
09:09interviews,
09:09where I get asked a lot of dumb questions,
09:12like what do I eat in a day,
09:13how much do I work out,
09:15how many girlfriends do I have,
09:16et cetera,
09:17et cetera,
09:17and I have to answer all that to keep up a certain image,
09:21of course,
09:21but this life can be very exhausting.
09:23You know what I mean?
09:25Frankly,
09:26no.
09:27You sound like you don't appreciate how lucky you are.
09:30What do you mean?
09:31I mean,
09:32look at that waiter,
09:33for example.
09:34He works his butt off every day,
09:36trying to make just enough for his rent.
09:38You think his life is easy,
09:39but he still smiles and serves you.
09:42Isn't that exhausting?
09:44Maybe,
09:45but that's what he gets paid for.
09:46It's his job.
09:48So,
09:48he's not allowed to be tired,
09:50because he works for a wage?
09:52But you,
09:53riding around in chauffeur-driven cars,
09:55living in fancy houses,
09:57dining in the best restaurants,
09:59you can be tired,
10:00because you have to attend a few meetings,
10:02and answer a few questions.
10:04Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical?
10:06I hadn't really thought about that.
10:09Then,
10:09maybe you should.
10:11Anyway,
10:11I gotta go.
10:12But you haven't even touched your food.
10:14I'm not hungry anymore,
10:16and I just left without another word,
10:18and hailed a cab back to the resort.
10:20When I got there,
10:21I realized that I still had the ring on me.
10:24So I decided to give my luck a second chance,
10:26and tiptoed my way to Vanessa's room,
10:28carefully avoiding all the cameras.
10:31I swiped the key,
10:32gently turned the knob,
10:34and walked in,
10:34when suddenly,
10:36someone jumped on me
10:37and pinned me to the ground.
10:38Who are you?
10:39And why did you just sneak into my room?
10:42And why are you wearing my ring?
10:44Speak up!
10:45I will,
10:46if you just get off me.
10:48Thankfully,
10:49Vanessa agreed to listen,
10:50and I spilled everything
10:52about the ring,
10:53Carter,
10:53and the blind date.
10:54I thought she'd call security immediately,
10:57but instead,
10:57she burst out laughing.
10:59Do you have any idea
11:02how much I tried to get out of that date?
11:05Phew!
11:06You did me a huge favor.
11:09Does that mean you won't be pressing charges?
11:12That depends.
11:13You see,
11:14I moved to France with my grandma at five
11:16because my dad wanted to marry a kid-hating bimbo.
11:19But now,
11:20she's left him.
11:21So he wants me to come back home.
11:23Problem is,
11:24I don't want to.
11:25I have my whole life in France,
11:27including my boyfriend,
11:28Jean-Pierre.
11:29And dad hates him.
11:31He wants me to date Carter,
11:32or he'll cut me off.
11:34And since Carter thinks you're Vanessa,
11:36you'll just have to date him in my place.
11:38Wow!
11:39You rich folks are complicated.
11:41And I can't do that
11:42because it's stupid,
11:44and I'm pretty sure that guy hates me.
11:46Really?
11:47Then why did he send me a text
11:49asking to meet him again?
11:51Listen,
11:52just make this Carter guy go away.
11:54What if I say no?
11:56Then your sister will rot in jail,
11:58and you will lose this job.
11:59But what about my work?
12:01I'll pay you.
12:02Does half a million sound good?
12:04Sounds great.
12:05Vanessa and I shook on it,
12:06and that night,
12:07I couldn't sleep a wink
12:09thinking about how this money
12:10could change everything for me and Zoe.
12:12But I was pretty nervous
12:14about fooling some rich, powerful guy.
12:17I wanted to share my doubts with Zoe,
12:19but I knew she was a tattletale,
12:21so I kept quiet.
12:22And the next morning,
12:24Vanessa woke me up at six
12:25and told me that Carter was on his way
12:27to take me to a derby match.
12:29Is there a reason why I'm dressed
12:31like Mary Poppins' cousin?
12:33I get that you want him to hate me,
12:35but this dress makes me hate me.
12:38The idea is to make you look undateable,
12:40and this dress is perfect for that.
12:42Now remember,
12:44make this the worst day of Carter's life.
12:46He should be calling my dad
12:48and telling him that I'm a monster.
12:50Now go make me proud.
12:52I left the hotel
12:53and greeted Carter at the gate,
12:55half expecting him
12:56to say something about my dress,
12:57but he just smiled and complimented me.
13:00Was he blind?
13:02Sorry.
13:02I think we cut a golf
13:04on the wrong foot last night.
13:05Can we do this in the car, please?
13:07The heat is making me dizzy.
13:09Sure.
13:09For the rest of the ride,
13:11Carter kept trying to talk to me,
13:13but I just pretended
13:14to be busy on my phone.
13:15Soon after,
13:16we reached the derby stands
13:18and were about to take our seats
13:19when I put my plan into motion.
13:22Carter!
13:22Can you get me something to drink?
13:24I'm parched.
13:25But the race is about to start.
13:27You're right.
13:28I'll just go and get it myself.
13:30No, wait.
13:31I'll get it.
13:32Oh, thanks.
13:34Carter pushed through the crowd
13:36and came back with a massive cup of soda.
13:39I took one look at it
13:40and screamed,
13:41It has no ice.
13:43I want ice.
13:45Carter rushed through the crowd again
13:46and came back sweating
13:48with a new cup of soda.
13:49Ah, thanks.
13:51Oh, no.
13:53What now?
13:54This isn't diet.
13:55I can't drink regular soda.
13:57It makes me feel bloated and gassy.
13:59Get me a new one.
14:01Pretty please.
14:02Carter shot me an irritated look
14:04before running back into the crowd
14:06and by the time he got back,
14:08the race was over.
14:09I did feel a bit guilty,
14:10but then I thought about
14:12how he must have made his servants
14:13run around a million times,
14:15so he probably deserved a little payback.
14:17What an exciting game.
14:19Too bad you missed it.
14:20Yeah, too bad.
14:22Are you mad at me?
14:23You are, aren't you?
14:25I made you miss the game.
14:27You must really hate me now.
14:28It's cool if you don't want to see me again.
14:30Nonsense.
14:32I'd love to see you again.
14:33Why?
14:34I mean, wow.
14:35I must have really left an impression.
14:37Carter inched closer
14:38and I literally stopped breathing.
14:41I thought he was going to kiss me,
14:43but then he just opened the car door
14:45and asked the driver to drop me at the resort.
14:47I'll pick you up tomorrow, princess.
14:49Don't miss me too much.
14:52You bet.
14:53What the heck was that?
14:55Over the next few days,
14:56I did everything to make Carter go away,
14:58but nothing worked.
15:00I threw tantrums over the smallest things
15:03and he patiently calmed me down.
15:05I made him wait for hours while I got dressed
15:08and didn't even apologize when I showed up.
15:11And he just smiled and complimented me.
15:14On Vanessa's instructions,
15:15I even took him to an amusement park
15:17and then faked a hurt ankle
15:19so he'd have to carry me around.
15:21When he sat me down to rest,
15:23I screamed in his ear to get me something to eat.
15:26He was at the stall
15:26when I pulled out my phone and texted Vanessa.
15:29The plan's not working.
15:31I've tried everything.
15:33The fake ankle, making him carry me.
15:35I even pulled his hair a little when I was on his back.
15:37He's not budging.
15:39Just as I hit send,
15:40I looked down and froze.
15:42I'd accidentally texted Carter instead of Vanessa.
15:46My heart raced as I scanned the crowd
15:48and spotted him walking towards me.
15:50He handed me the food and took out his phone,
15:52but I grabbed it before he saw anything.
15:55You're not allowed to see your phone till you feed me.
15:57Ah.
15:58It'll only be a minute.
16:00I think it's from my dad.
16:01You're always on your phone.
16:03You never pay any attention to me.
16:05I'm hurt,
16:06and all you care about
16:06is reading a stupid text from your dad.
16:09And with that,
16:09I throw his phone into a nearby fountain.
16:12Vanessa?
16:13Are you insane?
16:14What if he has something important to say?
16:16Guess I'll have to wait.
16:18Now wipe that frown and feed me.
16:20Eat it yourself.
16:21You're in Costco,
16:22and I'm out of here.
16:24And he just turned around and left.
16:26I thought I'd manage to finally get rid of him
16:28when I reached the resort
16:30and saw him waiting outside with a bunch of roses.
16:33I didn't want any attention from the staff,
16:35so I dragged him to the side.
16:37What are you doing?
16:38I am so sorry, Vanessa.
16:40I was way out of line today for yelling at you like that.
16:43Please forgive me.
16:45Haven't you had enough?
16:46I mean,
16:47I'll think about it.
16:48Can you leave now?
16:49I'm not leaving till you forgive me.
16:51Fine.
16:52I forgive you.
16:53You mean it?
16:54You want me to get it tattooed?
16:56I'll see you tomorrow.
16:58Great.
16:59And I ran inside before anyone spotted me.
17:01I had to do something before this guy drove me insane.
17:04So I asked Vanessa for help,
17:06and we sat down and stalked Carter online everywhere.
17:10One of his Instagram posts said that he hated water.
17:13So the next day when I met him,
17:15I pitched the idea of scuba diving.
17:17Scuba diving?
17:19Why would you want to do that?
17:22Because it's fun.
17:24Imagine the two of us,
17:26hand in hand,
17:27exploring the depths of the ocean.
17:29So romantic.
17:30How about we explored the test of my swimming pool instead?
17:33We could still hold hands,
17:34and it's a lot more convenient.
17:36It's funny how you're talking,
17:38but all I can hear are chicken sounds.
17:40Buk, buk, buk, buk.
17:41Carter's a chicken.
17:43Buk, buk, buk.
17:43I'm not a chicken.
17:45Then prove it.
17:46Carter reluctantly agreed,
17:48but the next day when we were out on the water,
17:50he said he just couldn't do it.
17:52As we stood there with me trying to persuade him,
17:55the boat suddenly lurched forward,
17:57and we both fell into the water.
17:59See?
18:00It's not so deep and scary, is it?
18:02Just then,
18:03I noticed that Carter wasn't swimming.
18:06He seemed to be struggling to stay afloat.
18:08And then he started sinking.
18:09I quickly swam to him and helped him back onto the boat,
18:13but he'd passed out.
18:14I shook him,
18:15gave him CPR,
18:16and was about to give him mouth to mouth
18:18when he opened his eyes and coughed up water.
18:21Oh my god, you're okay.
18:23Wait, were you about to kiss me?
18:25I can lie back down.
18:27This isn't funny.
18:28Tell me about it.
18:30I'm the one who nearly drowned.
18:32You didn't tell me you don't know how to swim.
18:33I know how to swim.
18:35I just panic because we're in the middle of the ocean.
18:37I told you I couldn't do it.
18:40I'm so sorry, Carter.
18:42You should be.
18:43Now, where were we?
18:45Yeah, I had my eyes closed.
18:48You're about to kiss me.
18:50Shut up.
18:51Once we were back on the main shore,
18:53we went to a cute diner and ordered burgers.
18:55Carter spotted a jukebox
18:57and played some of his favorite songs,
18:59but when I played mine,
19:00he fell silent.
19:01You don't like this song?
19:03No, I love it.
19:05It reminds me of my mom.
19:07She used to hum this to me
19:08whenever I was feeling low.
19:10I know I never say this,
19:12but I really miss her.
19:14I miss my mom too.
19:15Guess we're not that different, huh?
19:17You're way better than I'll ever be.
19:19Carter pulled me close,
19:21and as we swayed to the music,
19:22I realized he'd never looked so perfect.
19:25Under that spoiled exterior
19:27was a boy who missed his mom,
19:29and all he needed was someone to talk to.
19:32I wanted to be that person for him,
19:34but I also knew it wasn't going to last forever,
19:37so I just melted into his arms
19:39and decided not to think about it.
19:41That was until I reached my room
19:43and reality slapped me in the face.
19:46Care to explain why you have
19:47such an expensive dress in your closet?
19:50It's not mine.
19:51I borrowed it from someone at work.
19:53Uh-huh.
19:54Then why'd you hide it
19:56in your secret spot in the closet?
19:58You went through my secret spot?
20:00What?
20:00That's abominable.
20:02Who uses words like that?
20:04Also, I don't know what it means.
20:07And you've been acting really weird these days.
20:10Just last week,
20:10I saw you sneaking into the room late at night.
20:13Where were you?
20:14I went out for a walk, mom.
20:17Now, if you're done interrogating me,
20:19I've had a very long day.
20:21Obviously, that didn't stop Zoe from snooping around.
20:24And with time,
20:25she only got more suspicious.
20:27I had to put an end to everything soon,
20:29so I thought I'd go and talk to Vanessa.
20:32But her boyfriend was visiting,
20:33and she was always busy with him.
20:36And I decided to wait.
20:38But then one day during a date,
20:39Carter told me he wanted me to meet his dad.
20:42Why?
20:43I mean, don't you think we're moving too fast?
20:45We barely know each other.
20:47I don't know about you,
20:49but I think I know you pretty well.
20:51Really?
20:51Like what?
20:52Like I know you're pretty,
20:54you have the most gorgeous smile in the world,
20:56and that you play with your hair when you're nervous.
20:59And when you're thinking too hard,
21:01you make a weird face.
21:02Something like this?
21:04Stop it!
21:05Listen, please just come.
21:07It'll mean the world to me.
21:09Oh, and I have something for you.
21:12This necklace belonged to my mom,
21:14and it'll look beautiful on you.
21:16I...
21:17I don't think I can take this.
21:19I insist.
21:20Carter gently put the necklace around my neck,
21:22and I felt a million butterflies in my stomach.
21:26The entire ride home.
21:27I couldn't stop thinking about how I was deceiving him.
21:31I gulped down my tears as I kissed him goodnight,
21:33and then I barged into Vanessa's room.
21:36Carter wants me to meet his dad.
21:37And?
21:38What do you mean?
21:39His dad will spot my lie in a second.
21:42No, he won't.
21:43I've never met him.
21:44And even if I did,
21:45rich people have the memory of a goldfish.
21:47There's no chance he'd remember me.
21:49That's not the point.
21:50If Carter wants me to meet his dad,
21:53that means he's serious about me.
21:55It'll crush his heart when he finds out I lied.
21:57And why do you care about his heart?
22:00Listen,
22:00Carter clearly doesn't want to break up with you,
22:03but if his dad doesn't like you,
22:05he might convince him to dump you.
22:07All you have to do is make a horrible impression on the dad.
22:10I'm sure you can handle it.
22:12Handle it?
22:12I could barely walk in the ridiculous dress Vanessa picked out.
22:17I tripped getting out of the car
22:18on my way to Carter's mansion.
22:20Finally,
22:21I saw him waving at the front door
22:23and felt a bit relieved.
22:25But then his dad joined us
22:26and he stared at me with an icy stare.
22:29Dad?
22:30This is...
22:30Vanessa,
22:31I know.
22:32You don't look anything like your pictures.
22:35Yeah,
22:35I'm not very photogenic.
22:37By the way,
22:38it's so good to meet you, sir.
22:40And what a wonderful house you have.
22:42These paintings and sculptures
22:44are really one of a kind.
22:46What an exquisite collection.
22:47And then I leaned onto one of the statues
22:50and it started wobbling.
22:52The next thing I knew,
22:53it toppled over
22:54and shattered to pieces.
22:56As I backed off in horror,
22:58I accidentally bumped into a waiter
23:00carrying a tray of shrimp
23:01and landed right on my butt.
23:03Every eye in the room turned to me
23:06and I quickly got up
23:07and bolted to the washroom.
23:09As I was cleaning up,
23:10a pretty girl walked in.
23:11It was Sophie,
23:13Carter's ex.
23:14I recognized her
23:15from my online stalking sessions.
23:17That was one heck of an entrance.
23:19I'm Sophie, by the way.
23:21Carter must have mentioned me.
23:23Actually,
23:23no,
23:24he didn't.
23:25Can I help you with something?
23:26Just wanted to see Carter's new catch.
23:29And also,
23:30there's something you should know.
23:32As Sophie talked,
23:33my heart sank
23:34knowing that I'd probably made
23:36the biggest mistake of my life.
23:38I could barely process
23:39what she'd told me
23:40and I ran off from the party
23:42without telling Carter.
23:44By the time I got home,
23:45I was so exhausted
23:46from all the overthinking,
23:48I immediately passed out.
23:50When I woke up the next morning,
23:51my phone was buzzing
23:52and Zoe wasn't around.
23:54I found out why immediately.
23:57The police were calling
23:58to tell me Zoe had been arrested
23:59for stealing.
24:01I took a cab to the police station
24:03and on the way,
24:04I called Vanessa
24:05to tell her what had happened.
24:06But her phone went straight
24:08to voicemail.
24:08I even tried the phone
24:10in her hotel room,
24:11but she didn't answer that either.
24:13I rushed into the police station,
24:15only to find Carter
24:16talking to the police,
24:17with Zoe standing next to him.
24:19Oh, thank God.
24:20I was beginning to think
24:21you'd never show up.
24:23Now,
24:23before these people
24:24lie to you,
24:25let me just tell you
24:26that whatever I did,
24:28I did it for Mom.
24:29Who's Mom?
24:30Our Mom,
24:31you moron.
24:33Mom called me yesterday
24:34and told me
24:35that she wants to come visit us,
24:36but she has no money
24:37for the tickets.
24:38I thought I'd pawn
24:39your stupid necklace off
24:40to help her out a bit.
24:42But that pawn shop guy
24:43informed this rich guy's family
24:45that someone was trying
24:46to sell an heirloom
24:47with their family crest,
24:49and they dragged me here
24:50for no fault of mine.
24:52No fault?
24:53That necklace belongs to my mom,
24:55and I gave it to Vanessa.
24:56Who the heck is Vanessa?
24:58She is Vanessa,
24:59my girlfriend.
25:01No,
25:01she's Sage,
25:03my sister.
25:04What is she talking about,
25:05Vanessa?
25:06Ugh,
25:06it's Sage.
25:07S-A-G-E.
25:10Dude,
25:10you're cute,
25:11but you really have
25:12your wires messed up.
25:13Shut up,
25:14Zoe!
25:16Carter,
25:17I lied to you.
25:18My name is Sage,
25:19and I am Zoe's sister.
25:22Carter looked shocked
25:23as I told him everything
25:24about the ring
25:25and how Vanessa
25:26had asked me
25:27to take her place.
25:28So you lied to me
25:29all this while?
25:30I wanted to tell you
25:31the truth,
25:32but I just couldn't.
25:33Why not?
25:34If you needed money,
25:35you could just ask me.
25:37Yeah,
25:37right.
25:38Like you'd even look twice
25:39at me if you knew
25:39I was poor.
25:40And you really have
25:41money to hand out?
25:43Because I found out
25:44you've only been dating
25:45Vanessa for her fortune.
25:47No wonder you kept
25:48putting up with me
25:49no matter how much
25:49I tested you.
25:50Were you-
25:51Don't bother,
25:52Carter.
25:53Sophie told me everything.
25:55Carter's only
25:56after your money.
25:57He screwed up
25:58a big business deal,
25:59and now his dad's
26:01forcing him to marry
26:02an heiress
26:02to save their business.
26:04They need your dad
26:05to invest and bail
26:06them out.
26:07How do you know that?
26:08My dad told me.
26:10He's business partners
26:11with Carter's father.
26:12Trust me,
26:13I have no interest
26:14in Carter.
26:15I'm just helping
26:16a girl out here.
26:17And you're just
26:18going to believe her
26:19without giving me
26:20a chance to
26:21exclaim myself?
26:22Well, is she lying?
26:24No, but-
26:25Then there's nothing
26:26left to say.
26:28Look, Carter,
26:29we both lied
26:30and we're both wrong.
26:31The only difference is
26:32that I lied for my family
26:34and you lied
26:35out of greed.
26:36And I agree
26:37that there were moments
26:38where I got carried away.
26:40But now,
26:40I'm back to reality.
26:42I'm pretty sure
26:43you don't care
26:43about me much.
26:44But if you do,
26:45even a little,
26:47please drop the charges
26:48against my sister.
26:50She's the only family
26:51I've got.
26:52I must have struck
26:53a chord with Carter
26:54because he took back
26:55his complaint
26:55and Zoe was released
26:57soon after.
26:58But the news of her arrest
26:59reached the resort manager
27:00and we were both
27:02fired on the spot.
27:03Which was fine.
27:04I was done
27:05with that place anyway.
27:07Zoe and I moved
27:08to a small apartment
27:09and decided to start
27:10our life from scratch.
27:12We found jobs
27:12at cafes and
27:13this time,
27:15Zoe stuck to her promise
27:16to work hard.
27:17She seemed to be
27:18actually sorry
27:19for all the trouble
27:20she'd caused me.
27:21And while it was difficult
27:22to not think about Carter,
27:24I had to push him
27:25out of my mind
27:26and move on
27:27with my life.
27:28Then a week later,
27:29I was leaving for work
27:30when I found Vanessa
27:31standing at my door.
27:33What are you doing here?
27:35The night you were
27:35at Carter's place,
27:37my dad showed up
27:37and told me
27:38he didn't want me
27:39to see Carter anymore.
27:40He didn't give me
27:41a reason,
27:41except that he didn't
27:42trust Carter's dad
27:44and that he was okay
27:46with my relationship
27:46with Jean-Pierre
27:47and just wanted
27:48me to come home.
27:49That's a relief.
27:51Congratulations.
27:52Anything else?
27:53Here's your
27:54half a million dollars.
27:55I'm a woman
27:56of my word.
27:57I didn't exactly
27:58do the job
27:59and I don't want money
28:00for tricking someone.
28:01It didn't bother you
28:02before.
28:03Hmm,
28:04I guess you must have
28:05fallen in love
28:05with Carter.
28:06No,
28:07that's not it.
28:07Well,
28:08that's too bad
28:09because Carter's
28:10in love with you.
28:11He called me
28:12to yell at me
28:13for making him
28:14fall in love
28:14with the wrong person
28:15and how he can't
28:16get over you.
28:17He doesn't love me.
28:19He was just
28:20after your fortune.
28:21That's why
28:21he put up with me
28:22for so long.
28:23Something tells me
28:24you haven't seen
28:25the news recently.
28:26Carter officially
28:27resigned from his
28:28dad's company.
28:29I think his dad
28:30forced him to be
28:30with me just for money
28:31and he was under
28:32a lot of pressure
28:33so he agreed
28:34but it looks like
28:35he doesn't care
28:36that much about money
28:36now.
28:37Oh,
28:38he also announced
28:38he's taking care
28:39of the student loans
28:40of waiters
28:40working in 20
28:41restaurants in this town.
28:42I don't know
28:43what that's about.
28:44I don't believe it.
28:46Vanessa showed me
28:46the news article
28:47and I was shocked.
28:49Oh god,
28:50Carter really loves me?
28:52I have to tell him
28:53how I feel too.
28:54But he's moving
28:55to his mom's place
28:56in London
28:56in like three hours.
28:58Then we have to be quick.
28:59You have a car?
29:00Duh.
29:01You think I walked here?
29:03Of course I have a car.
29:04But it's a little slow.
29:09Seriously?
29:10I can crawl faster
29:12than this car.
29:13Told you he's slow.
29:15I don't care
29:15because I'm mostly
29:16on my phone
29:17and you know
29:17how rich people are
29:18always fashionably late.
29:20Just sit back
29:21and relax.
29:22Enjoy the drive.
29:23Enjoy my butt.
29:25I asked the driver
29:25to stop
29:26and step aside
29:27while I took the wheels
29:28and hit the accelerator.
29:30I zoomed past the cars,
29:32got tailed by the police,
29:33but somehow
29:34made it to the airport
29:35just in time.
29:37I jumped out of the car
29:38and dashed towards the gates,
29:39still hearing
29:40the police sirens
29:41behind me.
29:42Go!
29:42I'll take care of this.
29:44I rushed through the airport,
29:45screaming Carter's name.
29:47All I could think of
29:48was not being able
29:49to talk to him
29:49and tell him
29:50how much I liked him.
29:52And my heart sank
29:52when I checked
29:53the departure charts
29:54and saw that the London flight
29:56had already departed.
29:57Uh, hi.
30:06I met Vanessa.
30:07I can't believe
30:08you gave up everything
30:09and you're poor now.
30:11Well, I'm still not poor-poor.
30:13Let's just say
30:14I have to share
30:15my helicopter
30:16with other people.
30:17And where are we going?
30:20Wherever you say.
30:27I have to ask the Dooku
30:39to go to
30:43another Golden Globe
30:44and
30:52you
30:53are
30:55now-
