00:00:00Housekeeping
00:00:30Ava, screw the other guy. I have a new target.
00:00:37Who is that?
00:00:38Shh, wake him.
00:00:40Okay, but who is that?
00:00:42I have no clue.
00:00:44Ava?
00:00:45It's fine. It's fine. I'm just gonna leave before he wakes up. It's like, it never happened.
00:00:50What's this new target you're talking about?
00:00:52We got a new CEO, and he owns the hotel.
00:00:55Plus, he's hot, and he's like, royalty.
00:00:57Crazy. Isn't he perfect?
00:01:00I mean, he had these really, like, old countries or something.
00:01:08I slept with our CEO.
00:01:13Oh, this sleazebag. I can't believe you have the nerve to walk out on me. Just cancel the room.
00:01:18Chloe, I can't. It's past cancellation time.
00:01:20Just say it's a Clara player.
00:01:22I can't. They're cracking down on things, and with the hotel getting acquired, I could get fired.
00:01:26Well, Ava, you know I can't pay for the room.
00:01:29Maybe you should have thought of that before you booked a $5,000 night's suite to bone some rich guy.
00:01:34He stiffed me.
00:01:35In more ways than one.
00:01:37Please, I'll pay you back.
00:01:39I can't.
00:01:40And it's under my name. I can't pay for it, or management will fire me.
00:01:43I need this job for my mom.
00:01:46I don't have that kind of money.
00:01:47What kind of money?
00:01:48Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:01:52I have to get back to work.
00:01:55Chloe!
00:01:56I can't wait until this place sells and they're allowed to deal with idiots.
00:02:00Ava, I see we have a guest in the presidential suite.
00:02:05Good. I'll be keeping track of it.
00:02:06Wow. Your best friend just cost you $5,000?
00:02:16What am I supposed to do with a $5,000 night's suite?
00:02:20I mean, if you have to pay for it, you might as well enjoy it.
00:02:23I guess I'm just drinking my way into debt at this point.
00:02:48I guess I'm just drinking my way into debt at this point.
00:02:50It looks like my night just got better.
00:03:09Excuse me, I'm sorry.
00:03:15Do you like tequila?
00:03:20Do you see me next?
00:04:02I slept with our CEO.
00:04:18What do I do?
00:04:23Go. I'll cover for you.
00:04:25What?
00:04:26The new hotel comes down really hard on anyone that sleeps with management.
00:04:30If he finds out it was you, you're going to get fired.
00:04:32I'm already in date shit with Christine.
00:04:35You go. I'll pay for the room and put it under my name.
00:04:43I can't believe she bought it.
00:04:44I won't need this shitty job when I'm a duchess.
00:04:59Wait.
00:05:02I didn't get your name.
00:05:04Now I offered you a reason to chase me, my prince.
00:05:07Hey.
00:05:13Chloe Archer.
00:05:27Hey, what's going on?
00:05:39Our new CEO is choosing his secretary.
00:05:44Whoever gets it gets a raise.
00:05:46I wouldn't torture yourself with mine.
00:05:50Ava, you're not exactly executive material.
00:05:53I heard he's a real Duke from England.
00:05:55I've never seen a real aristocrat before.
00:05:58Do you think he wears an ascot?
00:05:59Has an accent?
00:06:01I read that his entire family's estate is the size of Manhattan and he owns over a dozen hotels.
00:06:09He fired the entire Bel Air staff after two days.
00:06:13Clifford Harrington offered me the VP position in his luxury chain of hotel group.
00:06:19As soon as the acquisition was settled, the Sinclair family's owned us for years and suddenly
00:06:22daddy makes him CEO when he's here meddling.
00:06:26I cannot let him get in the way of this sale.
00:06:29But boss, if you could recommend me as his secretary, I think I could help you keep an eye on him.
00:06:36It wouldn't hurt having a friend in the Duke's office.
00:06:42What are you staring at?
00:06:44Would you have work to do?
00:06:47Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
00:06:49Your hair looks like you stuck your finger in a socket.
00:06:51Brush it!
00:06:52Why are you wearing one earring?
00:06:56It must have fallen off.
00:06:59How did the guests enjoy the presidential suite?
00:07:02I can't tell her I fucked my boss in the presidential suite.
00:07:05Who stayed there?
00:07:07Speak up!
00:07:07Um, I don't remember his name.
00:07:18I better hide my ass so he doesn't see me.
00:07:20Speak of the devil.
00:07:36Mr. Sinclair!
00:07:37Mr. Sinclair!
00:07:37Your highness!
00:07:38Um, can I call you your highness?
00:07:39Um, Duke!
00:07:40Can I, can I please take a selfie with you?
00:07:42Oh, of course.
00:07:44Okay, thank you.
00:07:45Um, um, um, she's fired.
00:07:52What?
00:07:53Security.
00:07:54No, please, please.
00:07:55Like, I worked really hard.
00:07:55Please don't.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:56He fired someone over a selfie?
00:07:59He definitely can't find out we slept together.
00:08:01Your grace, it is an honor to have you here.
00:08:04I am Christine Bernard.
00:08:06Yes, I know who you are.
00:08:07Your reputation precedes you.
00:08:09You've been the GM for the last five years, and helped in the acquisition of this hotel.
00:08:14Well done.
00:08:15Since you're new here, I would like to offer you my secretary Kate to assist you.
00:08:20Mr. Sinclair, great to be working with you.
00:08:22Yes, I will need a new secretary, but I prefer to choose my own.
00:08:28By the way, I am calling off the acquisition.
00:08:32We're not on a salary.
00:08:33You can't call it off.
00:08:35I've already signed a deal memo with Mr. Harrington.
00:08:38My family owns this hotel, Ms. Bernard, so I assure you I can do whatever I want.
00:08:42Now, if you wish to keep your position, I suggest you don't mention this sale again.
00:08:47As you wish.
00:08:49Your grace.
00:08:50Mr. Sinclair will do just fine.
00:08:54No need sucking up.
00:09:02Mr. Sinclair, these are all the candidates for the secretary position.
00:09:06I can tell you what's more than that, sir.
00:09:08You really need to take a look at night.
00:09:10And then please don't see me.
00:09:12Please don't see me.
00:09:14You there!
00:09:20Have we met?
00:09:22Is it her?
00:09:23I'm sorry, Mr. Sinclair.
00:09:26Sir, I'm not sure what you mean.
00:09:37I want her.
00:09:44Excuse me?
00:09:46Excuse me?
00:09:47You ought to be my new secretary.
00:09:49Should you accept?
00:09:50No.
00:09:51No.
00:09:52No, sir.
00:09:54I'm just not capable.
00:09:56Ava Grant?
00:09:57Why her?
00:09:58She's just a stupid desk girl.
00:10:02Why her?
00:10:03She's the only one who didn't throw herself at Mr. Sinclair.
00:10:10Uh, thank you.
00:10:13So much for the offer, but I can't accept the job.
00:10:16Whatever.
00:10:18Someone else would gladly take it at $20,000 per month.
00:10:20Uh, $20,000?
00:10:28That's more than I make in six months.
00:10:30Yes, for sure, I'd be honored to be Mr. Sinclair's secretary.
00:10:42But how the hell am I supposed to hide who I am from my boss
00:10:45when he's my actual boss?
00:10:46Did you find her?
00:10:51Miss Archer was just fired for having an affair with the guest.
00:10:56Apparently it took place on the premises
00:10:57and involved booking the suite at the hotel.
00:11:00What guest?
00:11:01I think it's you, sir.
00:11:02The room you accidentally walked into last night
00:11:04was booked in her name.
00:11:07She was fired because of me?
00:11:13Screw you, Christine.
00:11:16There's nothing wrong with sleeping with a rich guy.
00:11:19It's not my fault you can't get laid.
00:11:24Ava, did you lock yourself out again?
00:11:29Coming!
00:11:33Oh my god, what am I going to do?
00:11:35Oh my god, what am I going to do?
00:11:35Can I help you?
00:11:48Oh my god, her eyes are bloodshot.
00:11:50She's been crying.
00:11:51Chloe!
00:11:52Ms. Archer.
00:11:54I'm Edmund Sinclair.
00:11:55We met last night.
00:11:57Now is not a good time.
00:11:58I just wanted to apologize for your losing your job.
00:12:01I appreciate the apology, but
00:12:03I don't really know what else we have to talk about.
00:12:08Please, let me make it up to you.
00:12:11Are you going on a trip?
00:12:15What's he talking about?
00:12:17Oh, he thought I was leaving.
00:12:23Well, without a job, I can no longer pay the rent on my own,
00:12:27and I can't move home because my parents are dead.
00:12:33So I have to find a cheaper place by tomorrow.
00:12:36Listen, I appreciate you coming, but last night was a mistake.
00:12:41Let's just pretend it never happened.
00:12:43Besides, it's not like someone can magically give me my job back.
00:12:49Actually, I can.
00:12:51It's my hotel.
00:12:52Your hotel?
00:12:54Ms. Archer Sinclair is the owner and new CEO.
00:12:57Oh my gosh, that's so embarrassing.
00:13:00I had no idea.
00:13:01I'd be happy to have you rehired.
00:13:03I can't work with Ava.
00:13:04She'll blow my cover.
00:13:05Thank you, but I don't think I could stand the gossip going back.
00:13:10I'd rather be homeless with my dignity.
00:13:13I just need to get back on my feet.
00:13:17Well, would you like to live with me?
00:13:21Just until you get a new job.
00:13:23God, I'm good.
00:13:24Oscar worthy.
00:13:26Do you need to get that?
00:13:27Oh, I'm sure it's a telemarketer.
00:13:36He can't know I live with Ava.
00:13:38Actually, um, it's my sister.
00:13:41She's just been so concerned about me since everything happened.
00:13:44One sec.
00:13:47Chloe, I just got promoted.
00:13:49Hey, I can't really talk right now.
00:13:51Can we catch up later?
00:13:52Wait, wait, are you home?
00:13:53I really want to celebrate with you.
00:13:55Yeah, I am.
00:13:56Okay, cool.
00:13:56Bye.
00:14:04Do you live here with anyone?
00:14:06No, just me.
00:14:08Paying the rent all by myself.
00:14:09Well, as I said, if you'd like to live with me, the office stands.
00:14:16Oh, my God, I'm moving in.
00:14:29Oh.
00:14:29Oh, my God.
00:14:59What's a car like that doing in our neighborhood?
00:15:08You became our CEO's secretary?
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12$20,000 per month.
00:15:14That's enough to cover my mom with medical bills.
00:15:17Just be careful.
00:15:19Women are disposable to rich guys like that.
00:15:21Who knows what he really wants?
00:15:23It's a little hypocritical, don't you think?
00:15:27How many times have I warned you about all the rich dudes you date and now you're giving
00:15:30me advice?
00:15:31I mean, I know he's a duke or whatever, but I'm just trying to protect you.
00:15:35Trying to protect me from the guy that was your target this morning.
00:15:38I was joking.
00:15:39I'm not interested in him anymore.
00:15:41I don't need some guy to pay my bills.
00:15:44Besides, I have good news too.
00:15:46I got a job.
00:15:47And I'm moving out.
00:15:49Really?
00:15:50What job?
00:15:52You weren't even looking.
00:15:53You just got fired.
00:15:54Wait, and why do you need to move out?
00:15:57Why are you questioning me?
00:15:58Why can't you just be happy for me?
00:16:00Yesterday you spent like three months' salary on a room to bone some rich guy.
00:16:03Now there's a town car outside and suddenly you have a new job and you're moving out.
00:16:08I think it's fair for me to be concerned.
00:16:10What the hell are you insinuating?
00:16:13You think I'm just another shameless gold digger like everybody else.
00:16:16You don't give a shit about me.
00:16:17I'm not a whore.
00:16:18I know.
00:16:19I'm sorry.
00:16:20I'm sorry.
00:16:21Look, that's not what I meant.
00:16:22Let's just talk about it.
00:16:23Look.
00:16:24Is that your new job?
00:16:26You know what?
00:16:29You know, you just don't want me to move out because you're worried I won't pay you
00:16:32your precious money.
00:16:33Well, here.
00:16:34What's this?
00:16:37I paid for your little hotel room and cleaned up your mess with your special guest.
00:16:47I'm done with you.
00:16:50Good evening.
00:16:52Nurse Bailey, how's my mom?
00:16:54Your mother is fine.
00:16:55I'm calling because your mother's medical bill is nearly past due.
00:16:58If you don't pay in one week, we're going to have to release her.
00:17:00No.
00:17:01No, no, no, no.
00:17:02I'm sorry.
00:17:03I'll pay the entire balance as soon as possible.
00:17:05I promise you.
00:17:07Hey, Jackoff, hold the elevator.
00:17:21I'm sorry.
00:17:22Miss Grant, I'm not familiar with the American term, Jackoff.
00:17:26If you'd care to explain it to me.
00:17:28Miss Grant, I'm not familiar with the American term, Jackoff.
00:17:32If you'd care to explain it to me.
00:17:34Um, never mind.
00:17:37Good morning, Mr. Sinclair.
00:17:40I just got word from her that she's decided to move in.
00:17:44What should I introduce her to all the staff has?
00:17:47Friend?
00:17:48He called the girl who's going to move into his house a friend?
00:17:53What a jerk.
00:17:55Rich men really are something.
00:17:58He slept with me and he had a girlfriend.
00:18:01Mr. Sinclair needs you to help his friend move.
00:18:05Asshole.
00:18:06Of course.
00:18:07Perfect chance to see what kind of woman this future duchess is.
00:18:11I'll confirm with her and send you her address.
00:18:15Hello.
00:18:18Miss Archer, Mr. Sinclair's secretary will come to help you move.
00:18:22What time is convenient for you?
00:18:24His secretary?
00:18:25He means Ava.
00:18:26No need.
00:18:27I don't have much, so I can do it.
00:18:29Thanks though, I'll see you soon.
00:18:31Oh my god, this is the last time I'm ever doing this myself.
00:18:36Welcome, Miss Chloe.
00:18:52Ow!
00:18:53Oh my god!
00:18:54I can't wait for this fabulous new life.
00:19:04I'm sorry I'm blocking my light.
00:19:13Can't wait for this fabulous new light.
00:19:18Hashtag YOLO.
00:19:22Hard eyes emoji.
00:19:25Here we are.
00:19:26Your bedroom.
00:19:28This is Edmund's bedroom?
00:19:34No.
00:19:36But I'm supposed to be living with Edmund.
00:19:38Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. The Duke asked that you stay in this wing.
00:19:42His quarters are off-limits to you.
00:19:44Well, that's nonsense.
00:19:47What are you still doing here?
00:19:50Actually,
00:19:52draw me a bath and Instacart me a green juice.
00:19:56No.
00:20:03I don't know how you do business over there, but...
00:20:06Here, once the deal memo is signed, there's no turning back.
00:20:10Either move forward to the final agreement within one week,
00:20:14or pay the penalty, which is $20 million.
00:20:19Those are the options.
00:20:21Oh, my God!
00:20:23What are you doing?
00:20:24You can't even deliver coffee.
00:20:26Get out!
00:20:27Sorry.
00:20:28His shirt is worth more than you.
00:20:30Stupid idiots.
00:20:32My apologies.
00:20:33Are you burned?
00:20:34Do we need to call an EMT?
00:20:35I'm fine.
00:20:36It's not her fault.
00:20:37Christine, speak to my secretary that way again.
00:20:40You'll be fine.
00:20:41She answers to me, not you.
00:20:43You clear?
00:20:44I'm really sorry, sir.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:49Sorry about your coffee.
00:20:51I'm Clifford Harrington, and you are?
00:20:54Eva Grant.
00:20:56I apologize again about your shirt.
00:20:59Please, let me get it dry cleaned.
00:21:02Is there something wrong, Mr. Harrington?
00:21:04No.
00:21:05You just remind me of someone.
00:21:08Eva Grant, is it?
00:21:10Yes, Mr. Harrington.
00:21:14I don't mean to speak out of turn,
00:21:18but when I was listening to the meeting, something dawned on me.
00:21:22Go ahead.
00:21:23Even though JPG Chains may not acquire M Hotel,
00:21:27we could still be close partners.
00:21:29There may be something to salvage here.
00:21:31What the hell do you know about corporate partnerships?
00:21:35I apologize.
00:21:36She is not qualified to even be in here.
00:21:39She should be a janitor.
00:21:41Watch it, Christine.
00:21:42I'm willing to come back to the table,
00:21:45but only to hear Ms. Grant's proposal.
00:21:51Fuck!
00:21:52No, no.
00:21:53Mr. Harrington, there is nothing to discuss.
00:21:56We have signed a deal memo.
00:21:58It is too late to back out of the acquisition.
00:22:01Things change.
00:22:03You mean to tell me you're willing to walk away from the hotel acquisition?
00:22:09If I see a collaboration plan I can't refuse?
00:22:14Yes.
00:22:15In that case, we'll do our very best to provide you with a plan that satisfies you.
00:22:20Won't we, Ms. Grant?
00:22:21Ms. Grant?
00:22:22Of course, Mr. Harrington.
00:22:29Amazing job, Ava.
00:22:31Why did Clifford change his mind because of my secretary?
00:22:35We'll see you soon.
00:22:36Well done.
00:22:37Mm-hmm.
00:22:39You little bitch.
00:22:42You just killed my promotion.
00:22:45I swear.
00:22:46I'm gonna make your life a living hell.
00:22:48You will be scrubbing toilets when I'm done with you.
00:23:04It can't be.
00:23:06Vic, where are you?
00:23:13Mr. Green, one of our shareholders, is starting a party at 8pm tonight.
00:23:16Mr. Sinclair would like you to go with him.
00:23:18As his driver?
00:23:20His guest.
00:23:21His guest?
00:23:23Allow me to introduce Ms. Ava Grant.
00:23:26Edmund, nice to meet you.
00:23:29I didn't know you were bringing your girlfriend.
00:23:31No, no, I'm not his.
00:23:33Ms. Grant is my secretary.
00:23:35Oh, lucky for me.
00:23:37Well, I know this is a work event, so you can still have a good time.
00:23:41Oh, trust me, you don't want to see me drink.
00:23:43Oh, no. I do.
00:23:48Since we're gonna be working together, I think we should get a chance to know each other.
00:23:51Now, if you can out drink me, Ms. Grant, I'll agree to work exclusively with M Hotels.
00:23:56If that bet stands, then I'll do all the drinking tonight for Ms. Grant.
00:23:59Now, if you'll excuse me, Ms. Grant, we would like to discuss the Oasis Project in Vegas.
00:24:04Mr. Sinclair?
00:24:05Are you okay?
00:24:06Look, I know you were trying to protect me, and the Brits can drink.
00:24:07If that bet stands, then I'll do all the drinking tonight for Ms. Grant.
00:24:12Now, if you'll excuse me, Ms. Grant, we would like to discuss the Oasis Project in Vegas.
00:24:21Mr. Sinclair, are you okay? Look, I know you were trying to protect me, and the Brits can drink.
00:24:34But if you can't handle your liquor, you should really stop. You were at least functional last time.
00:24:39What do you mean, last time? What do you mean, the last time?
00:24:45Sorry, sir?
00:24:46You said the last time you saw me drunk.
00:24:50Now you're just drunk and making things up. We should really get you home.
00:24:57Oh, come on. Let's get you inside.
00:25:00I'm gonna get you some water, okay?
00:25:13You smell nice.
00:25:16I have to go.
00:25:18Good night.
00:25:23Mr. Sinclair.
00:25:30You little slut.
00:25:38Have a good night.
00:25:39Ava.
00:25:43I didn't think you had it in you, Ava.
00:25:45Stealing my man in my home.
00:25:54It's okay, sweetie.
00:25:55I won't beat you.
00:25:56I won't beat you.
00:25:58You don't smell right.
00:26:01What do you mean? It's me. Your girlfriend.
00:26:04Let's still be good that night.
00:26:11You're not my girlfriend.
00:26:14Alright?
00:26:16You're here, out of my kindness.
00:26:18And when you get a job, you're out.
00:26:20Do you understand?
00:26:26It's okay.
00:26:27I don't need to be a person.
00:26:28You need to be alive.
00:26:29You need to be a person.
00:26:32You're here.
00:26:34You're here.
00:26:35someone in your business and that comes in.
00:26:37You're using the person.
00:26:39I don't need to wait.
00:26:40Go for it, man.
00:26:41He's on your side.
00:26:43He's on your side.
00:26:45That's okay.
00:26:47I got to tell you about this.
00:26:49I don't need to be a person.
00:26:50I don't care.
00:26:51I don't care.
00:26:52I got to be a person.
00:26:54I don't care.
00:26:56I miss you too.
00:27:23Okay, perfect.
00:27:23Well, I gotta go.
00:27:24I'm really tired.
00:27:25Bye.
00:27:26Hello?
00:27:28Chloe?
00:27:30What is going on with her?
00:27:35Ugh.
00:27:36Ava, you're too easy.
00:27:38Nordstrom rap, this is trash.
00:27:40Why does Ed make me like it?
00:27:42Good night, madam.
00:27:44Oh, you.
00:27:46I need this perfume on my bedside table when I wake up.
00:27:49But stores are closed.
00:27:51That's a you problem.
00:27:52Good morning, Mrs. Sinclair.
00:28:04James?
00:28:05Are you all right?
00:28:06Ah, I was bitten by my dog last night.
00:28:11Just roughhousing.
00:28:13I didn't know you had a dog, sir.
00:28:15I guess I'm the dog.
00:28:17Woof, asshole.
00:28:19You know what they say, Mr. Sinclair.
00:28:22Dogs don't bite people unless they're provoked.
00:28:24What are they talking about?
00:28:34What are they talking about?
00:28:34Hey, you.
00:28:45Go fetch me my package from the mailroom.
00:28:48You deaf?
00:28:49Yoo-hoo.
00:28:50Receptionist.
00:28:50I'm talking to you.
00:28:52Boss, you know she's clumsy and useless.
00:28:55Are you sure you even want her to grab your package?
00:28:57Probably has a disease.
00:28:59Miss Bernard, first of all, I'm no longer the receptionist.
00:29:04Secondly, I don't take orders from you anymore.
00:29:08You have your own secretary, so I suggest you ask her.
00:29:12Bravo.
00:29:13Oh, you've been the CEO secretary for three days.
00:29:17You think you can talk to me like that?
00:29:19Get out of my way.
00:29:20I heard about your mom.
00:29:22If you get fired, they're going to have to unplug all those machines.
00:29:25And she'll die.
00:29:26It must be shitty having a daughter like you.
00:29:29One more word about my mom, and I swear to God I'll slap you.
00:29:32I dare you.
00:29:34You ungrateful little bitch.
00:29:36Christine will have to fire you.
00:29:37She'll have no choice.
00:29:38Let's test it.
00:29:39Oh!
00:29:43She hit me!
00:29:48Fire her!
00:29:50Unfortunately, I can't right now.
00:29:53But let's be realistic.
00:29:55That fop of a man is on vacation, and when he goes back to England, you are fired.
00:30:01Then mommy gets unplugged.
00:30:03How am I going to get fired if you get fired first?
00:30:06What would Mr. Sinclair do if he found out you negotiated a VP job with JPG Chains while
00:30:14you still collect money from his company?
00:30:17You a slut.
00:30:19You freak of desperation.
00:30:23I think you need a shower.
00:30:25Don't you agree?
00:30:26What's going on?
00:30:40Nothing.
00:30:41Crap.
00:30:42I forgot I have to turn on this record.
00:30:43I've got to get over.
00:30:45Follow me.
00:30:49I keep these here for after I go to the gym.
00:30:51I'm really fine.
00:30:52It's not necessary.
00:30:53Come on.
00:30:54Come on.
00:30:55Mr. Sinclair.
00:31:05Thank you, Mr. Sinclair, for your help.
00:31:13Am I interrupting something?
00:31:15Don't you have to knock?
00:31:15So who's this rich guy Chloe's marrying?
00:31:30Marrying?
00:31:31She said she found a new job and moved out.
00:31:34Wait, you didn't know?
00:31:36Oh my god, you have to look at this.
00:31:39It's so hilarious.
00:31:40Why does this house look familiar?
00:31:44I'm sure all rich people's houses look similar.
00:31:47Look on her feed.
00:31:48It's like all over.
00:31:54What the hell?
00:31:56She blocked me.
00:31:59That's weird.
00:32:02You know what?
00:32:02She's definitely going to be at our class reunion.
00:32:06I know you hated school, but you should come with.
00:32:09Go talk to her.
00:32:10Find out what the hell is going on.
00:32:19Is that Ava Grant?
00:32:22I thought she was too cool for these things.
00:32:24Hey, Ava.
00:32:25I heard you finally got a position at M Hotel.
00:32:28Congrats.
00:32:29The M Hotel.
00:32:30Isn't that owned by the aristocracy?
00:32:33What are you doing, Ava?
00:32:34Don't get too excited.
00:32:36She's just a receptionist.
00:32:39Don't be so rude.
00:32:41A receptionist is a perfectly good position
00:32:43for someone who isn't intelligent
00:32:45and wants to sleep her way to the top.
00:32:48Wow, so is that what you think of me too, Julianne?
00:32:51You know what?
00:32:52Why don't you just shut the fuck up, both of you?
00:32:54Ava's the CEO's secretary now.
00:32:57She's making more money in a month
00:32:58than you both are making in a year.
00:33:00Really?
00:33:00So I guess you did sleep your way to the top.
00:33:04Doesn't surprise me.
00:33:05Makes sense, since you were voted
00:33:06most likely to lie on her back in high school.
00:33:10Okay, hey.
00:33:10Julianne,
00:33:11you were a horrible bitter bitch in high school,
00:33:15and you're a horrible bitter bitch now.
00:33:19Ava, you've got an attitude now.
00:33:22Bet you got that from your bestie, Chloe, eh?
00:33:24Hey, where is she anyway?
00:33:25Probably posting pictures of her Louie on Insta.
00:33:28She's so fake.
00:33:29I bet all those photos are staged.
00:33:32You know, you two are the perfect pair.
00:33:36Trash that grew up to be trash.
00:33:38Okay, look, Julianne,
00:33:40the only reason you're acting this way
00:33:42is because you missed us.
00:33:44Your life was so fucking boring,
00:33:46you had to make it exciting by bullying us.
00:33:49I guess it's still boring.
00:33:51Did your husband leave you
00:33:53because you're such a fucking boring bitch?
00:33:57Long time no see, everyone.
00:34:05Who the hell are you?
00:34:07Chloe?
00:34:07I brought gifts for everyone.
00:34:12I hope you like them.
00:34:18Is this a limited edition Hermes scarf?
00:34:22I can't believe it.
00:34:23Chloe, what happened to you?
00:34:25You look beautiful.
00:34:26Stunning!
00:34:27And elegant.
00:34:28Wow.
00:34:30Tell us, what's going on?
00:34:31I just got a new job.
00:34:36I love your Insta.
00:34:38Are you actually living in a mansion with maids?
00:34:44I have to ask,
00:34:46are you with the billionaire?
00:34:49Well, I like to keep my private life private.
00:34:54But he's actually a trillionaire.
00:34:55Oh my God!
00:34:58I always knew you'd amallow something special.
00:35:02Come with me.
00:35:03Where the hell are you taking me?
00:35:06What the hell are you doing?
00:35:07You're with a billionaire?
00:35:09A trillionaire, actually.
00:35:11And he's everything I deserve.
00:35:13Why did you lie to me?
00:35:15I didn't want you to feel bad
00:35:17because he's everything you ever wanted.
00:35:20You know I don't care about the money.
00:35:23I paid our entire rent for years.
00:35:25Wow, are you really asking me for money right now?
00:35:28Just give me a number,
00:35:29I'll pay whatever to get you to shut up.
00:35:30That's not what I'm saying.
00:35:32You're just jealous.
00:35:34Look, let's be realistic.
00:35:36We're different types of people.
00:35:38I'm rich.
00:35:39You're poor.
00:35:40You don't really have anything in common.
00:35:42So you're sleeping with some rich guy
00:35:44and suddenly I'm beneath you?
00:35:46You've always been beneath me.
00:35:50You know what?
00:35:52You're right.
00:35:53We're not the same kind of people.
00:35:56Right.
00:35:57We're not the same kind of people.
00:36:10Oh, fuck.
00:36:12This even smells cheap.
00:36:13What the hell are you doing here?
00:36:35Eddie, you're here.
00:36:38Chloe, I thought I made it clear
00:36:40you're not to enter my personal space.
00:36:41I'm sorry.
00:36:43I was just so exhausted
00:36:45after job hunting all day
00:36:46and I didn't want to be alone
00:36:48in my big empty room.
00:36:49So I came in here to talk to you
00:36:51and apologize
00:36:51and I guess I fell asleep.
00:36:57I'm too tired to move.
00:36:59Will you carry me back, please?
00:37:02A scent.
00:37:03He likes my scent.
00:37:05Fine.
00:37:06I need to sleep.
00:37:08I mean, you don't really want to sleep.
00:37:13Do you?
00:37:16Go back to your room.
00:37:20Wait.
00:37:27Were you wearing a pair of blue earrings that night?
00:37:30Blue earrings?
00:37:31What do you think?
00:37:32I mean, I might have a pair
00:37:34but, you know,
00:37:36with everything that's happened
00:37:37and the move
00:37:38and getting settled in,
00:37:39I'm not totally sure
00:37:41why do you ask?
00:37:45You can go now.
00:37:47Emily.
00:37:47Emily, please let's go
00:37:48Ms. Archer to her room.
00:37:52Chloe.
00:37:54You're a guest in this house.
00:37:56You have to stay out of my private quarters.
00:37:58Is that clear?
00:37:59Damn it.
00:38:00Why do you get so weird
00:38:01over earrings?
00:38:21Ava, you scheming bitch.
00:38:23You left your earring for him to find.
00:38:25Do you think we're playing Cinderella?
00:38:27Well, it's midnight.
00:38:29Ball's over, bitch.
00:38:33We need to talk.
00:38:35Now.
00:38:37I may be poor,
00:38:39but I still pay the rent.
00:38:41Hand over the key.
00:38:43I'm sorry.
00:38:44Look, we both said things
00:38:47that we didn't mean yesterday.
00:38:48I didn't tell you about my boyfriend
00:38:50because I didn't want you to worry.
00:38:52That's not all.
00:38:54Why else are you here?
00:38:55To apologize.
00:38:58Look,
00:38:59I brought a peace offering.
00:39:04I accept your apology,
00:39:06but you know I don't care about that stuff.
00:39:08I care about you.
00:39:10I'm a lot more stable now
00:39:11and I can cover the rent.
00:39:13What does our CEO have you doing
00:39:14that you're making so much money?
00:39:17What you working on?
00:39:18Just this presentation
00:39:20I've been working on
00:39:21for over a week.
00:39:23We have a super important meeting
00:39:24this afternoon
00:39:24with JPG's chairman.
00:39:26My boss asked me to handle it.
00:39:28Wow.
00:39:29Sounds like you're his right hand,
00:39:31not just his secretary.
00:39:33I guess.
00:39:35It would be the dream job
00:39:36if Christine would stop picking on me.
00:39:38She keeps trying to get me fired.
00:39:40She is?
00:39:41I mean,
00:39:42that's terrible.
00:39:43Can she even do that?
00:39:45Not if Edmund has my back.
00:39:48You're calling him Edmund?
00:39:51Wow.
00:39:52Really fond for him,
00:39:53haven't you?
00:39:55I mean,
00:39:55royal title doesn't make him a good guy.
00:39:57Just be careful, Ava.
00:40:00He's just my boss.
00:40:02That's all.
00:40:03Besides,
00:40:04he has a girlfriend.
00:40:05So?
00:40:05Oh, um,
00:40:08I just got this new dress
00:40:09that would go perfectly
00:40:10with those blue earrings
00:40:11your mom got you for Christmas.
00:40:13Could I borrow them?
00:40:15You're living the high life now.
00:40:17Why do you want my earrings?
00:40:18And I only have one left,
00:40:20unfortunately.
00:40:21Oh, that's fine.
00:40:21That's the new trend.
00:40:27Rebecca.
00:40:27Rebecca.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:39Okay, please.
00:40:40Make sure to give it back to me.
00:40:42It means a lot.
00:40:43Yeah, of course.
00:40:44Well, I've got to go.
00:40:47You know what?
00:40:48You use that lip.
00:40:51I'll take this off your hands.
00:40:53It reminds me of you.
00:40:56Okay.
00:40:59Sure.
00:40:59Sure.
00:41:05Who the hell are you?
00:41:16Is this some sort of revenge thing
00:41:18for firing you?
00:41:19I'm calling security.
00:41:20No need.
00:41:22My boyfriend owns the place.
00:41:27Boyfriend?
00:41:28Yeah?
00:41:29I'm Edmund Sinclair's
00:41:30live-in girlfriend.
00:41:31You're provisional.
00:41:37I told you.
00:41:39I'm Edmund Sinclair's
00:41:41live-in girlfriend.
00:41:43Okay.
00:41:46So what brings you here,
00:41:47Miss Archer?
00:41:49Thought that would change
00:41:50the tenor of this conversation.
00:41:53I heard you want to get rid
00:41:54of Ava Grant.
00:41:55And I heard the two of you
00:41:56are best friends.
00:41:57Not anymore.
00:41:59She seduced Edmund last night
00:42:00in our living room.
00:42:01I knew there was
00:42:02something up with her.
00:42:04What can I do?
00:42:05Edmund will never
00:42:06let me fire her.
00:42:07Well, he can't protect her
00:42:09if she keeps messing up
00:42:10her job.
00:42:11I have a feeling
00:42:13that today's
00:42:14important meeting
00:42:15may be a little more
00:42:17dramatic than expected.
00:42:20We'll now have
00:42:21Miss Grant present
00:42:22the strategy collaboration
00:42:23plan between
00:42:24M. Hotel
00:42:24and JBG Chain.
00:42:26What?
00:42:35No, it's gone!
00:42:37After today,
00:42:39no one will be able
00:42:39to stop me
00:42:40from becoming
00:42:40the Duchess.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:55The presentation
00:42:56I worked on is gone.
00:42:57What do you mean
00:42:58it's gone?
00:43:00I don't know.
00:43:02It's my fault.
00:43:03It's not your fault.
00:43:04It's our fault.
00:43:07We're allowing
00:43:07an entry-level employee
00:43:08to participate
00:43:10in our daily management.
00:43:11You've damaged
00:43:12our reputation
00:43:13in front of
00:43:13our valuable partner
00:43:14and you've probably
00:43:15cost us millions
00:43:16of dollars.
00:43:17I'm sorry, Ava,
00:43:18but you are fine.
00:43:20Christine,
00:43:21let her
00:43:22finish the presentation.
00:43:24Let her
00:43:25finish the presentation.
00:43:27Mr. Harrington,
00:43:28how can she even...
00:43:29It's a joke.
00:43:29I said let her
00:43:32finish the presentation.
00:43:35It's okay, kid.
00:43:36You've prepared.
00:43:38You can present
00:43:39without the files.
00:43:44What we have here
00:43:45is an opportunity
00:43:46for both of our companies
00:43:48to grow together.
00:43:49What the fuck?
00:43:50Why is Mr. Harrington
00:43:51on her side every time?
00:43:54And through
00:43:55the symbiotic relationship,
00:43:56we'll not only give
00:43:58our guests
00:43:58the best possible experience,
00:44:00but increase profit margins
00:44:01in ways
00:44:02we wouldn't possibly imagine.
00:44:08Well, Mr. Harrington,
00:44:09I hope that our proposal
00:44:11was helpful.
00:44:12Very impressive.
00:44:14I can go with it.
00:44:16But only with
00:44:17one condition.
00:44:20She handles
00:44:21all the details.
00:44:26From now on,
00:44:27Ava will be in charge
00:44:28of the entire
00:44:28collaboration project.
00:44:34Young lady,
00:44:36you have a bright future
00:44:37ahead of you.
00:44:38I really appreciate it,
00:44:39Mr. Harrington.
00:44:41Sir, I don't mean
00:44:42to speak out of turn,
00:44:43but I don't have
00:44:44much experience.
00:44:46Why do you want me
00:44:46to take this on?
00:44:48Because I see
00:44:48the potential in you.
00:44:51And you remind me
00:44:52of my daughter.
00:44:54Does she work
00:44:54at the company?
00:44:55No, I haven't
00:44:57seen her in years.
00:44:59I thought after
00:45:00my son's accident
00:45:02she would resurface.
00:45:03I've tried to find her,
00:45:05but I think she stays
00:45:07away from me
00:45:08because she hates me.
00:45:11I doubt that.
00:45:14I think if you're meant
00:45:15to find each other,
00:45:16you will.
00:45:17I hope so.
00:45:22Would I be fortunate
00:45:23enough to invite you
00:45:24to dinner sometime,
00:45:26Miss Ava?
00:45:27Of course.
00:45:29It would be my honor.
00:45:30How could the fire
00:45:39be empty
00:45:39this morning?
00:45:41Stop thinking about it.
00:45:43I'm taking you out
00:45:43to eat to celebrate
00:45:44the deal with Clifford.
00:45:46Pick anything you want.
00:45:48Anything?
00:45:50Of course.
00:45:52I'll drive,
00:45:53so you don't
00:45:53change your mind.
00:45:59How'd it go?
00:45:59Is she gone for good?
00:46:01No.
00:46:03She's actually
00:46:03become the project leader
00:46:04and your boyfriend's
00:46:06taken her out to celebrate.
00:46:07What the hell?
00:46:08Just the two of them?
00:46:10Oh, I'm going to
00:46:10kill that bitch.
00:46:12Don't resort to murder.
00:46:14Just yet.
00:46:16I have another idea.
00:46:19Hey, we've arrived.
00:46:21Are you sure
00:46:22we're in the right place?
00:46:24I don't see many restaurants.
00:46:29This
00:46:30is my favorite restaurant.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:36Sorry, I didn't realize
00:46:38you meant something
00:46:38so down-to-earth.
00:46:42Excuse me.
00:46:43These are the best tacos
00:46:44in L.A.
00:46:45You may have dined
00:46:46with royalty,
00:46:47but you've never had these.
00:46:49Every time
00:46:49something happy would happen,
00:46:51my mom would bring me here.
00:46:52No way.
00:46:58Is it your first time
00:46:59having a taco?
00:47:02I suppose
00:47:02today will be my first time.
00:47:04Well,
00:47:05then there's a first time
00:47:06for everything
00:47:06you embrace.
00:47:08Let's go.
00:47:09M'lady?
00:47:17Oh.
00:47:18Yes.
00:47:32I'll handle this.
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:35What would you like?
00:47:36Whatever you order.
00:47:37Good evening, madam.
00:47:38I'd like to place an order
00:47:40for four of your finest
00:47:42carnivorous tacos, please.
00:47:44Four
00:47:45carnation tacos,
00:47:48two fish tacos,
00:47:49and two
00:47:50barbaricola tacos, please.
00:47:53How many people
00:47:54are you feeding?
00:47:55Just the two of us.
00:47:56Is that
00:47:57another food?
00:47:58Well,
00:47:58unless your girlfriend
00:47:59hasn't eaten in a week.
00:48:02I'm not his girlfriend.
00:48:05He's just my boss.
00:48:06Girl,
00:48:07what are you waiting for?
00:48:08Who cares if he's your boss?
00:48:10If I was your age,
00:48:12I'd snatch him.
00:48:15Where do I
00:48:16swipe this?
00:48:18Are you serious?
00:48:20What is your boyfriend or boss
00:48:27or whatever?
00:48:29Prince of England?
00:48:32Kind of.
00:48:33Oh, then
00:48:33I'd definitely
00:48:35back him now.
00:48:37What are you two laughing about?
00:48:39Nothing.
00:48:41Slightly embarrassing.
00:48:42I've never let a woman
00:48:43pay for my meal before.
00:48:44Thank you, honey.
00:48:48Gracias.
00:48:49Mm-hmm.
00:48:50Well,
00:48:51and enjoy your first meal
00:48:53paid for by a woman.
00:48:58Cheers.
00:49:00Oh,
00:49:01it appears
00:49:02I made a mess of myself.
00:49:05You know what to do?
00:49:06Mm.
00:49:07Mm.
00:49:08Mm.
00:49:08Actually fun
00:49:15when you're out of the office.
00:49:16Well,
00:49:17now I know
00:49:17what you really think about.
00:49:19I must say this,
00:49:20barbacoa
00:49:20does seem
00:49:21interesting.
00:49:22It's barbacoa
00:49:23and you'll love it.
00:49:25Mm.
00:49:25Barbacoa?
00:49:26Yeah.
00:49:26Oh.
00:49:27Oh.
00:49:27Can I ask why
00:49:37you're so determined
00:49:37to keep this hotel?
00:49:42Well,
00:49:43my dad let my mum
00:49:45design one of our hotels.
00:49:47This was the one.
00:49:49She, uh,
00:49:51poured all her love
00:49:52into it.
00:49:53It was the
00:49:54last and only hotel
00:49:55she ever designed
00:49:56before she passed.
00:49:57I used to ride
00:50:00around the lobby
00:50:00on the roller carts.
00:50:06I'm sorry.
00:50:09I know what it feels like
00:50:10to lose someone you love.
00:50:14My mum.
00:50:17She has late-stage
00:50:18brain cancer
00:50:18and she's barely awake now.
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:27Can I have a bite
00:50:28of that?
00:50:29No.
00:50:30It's mine!
00:50:33It's mine!
00:50:34It's not right.
00:50:56Do you have a girlfriend?
00:51:00She's not my girlfriend.
00:51:03Well, then why
00:51:04does she live
00:51:04in your house?
00:51:06It's complicated.
00:51:08Have you changed
00:51:13up a few?
00:51:15How did you know?
00:51:16It was a gift
00:51:17from a friend.
00:51:17It was a gift from a friend.
00:51:19My mum always told me
00:51:20that I had the
00:51:21sense of smell
00:51:22of Wilbur.
00:51:23Wilbur?
00:51:24Hot dog.
00:51:25Oh!
00:51:26Well, I'll take that
00:51:29as a compliment.
00:51:30Oh.
00:51:36Were you the woman
00:51:37that night?
00:51:39In the hotel room?
00:51:40Well, I guess I was wrong then.
00:51:49Well, I guess I was wrong then.
00:51:53This is the necklace I had custom-made for Vic's 12th birthday.
00:52:00How does Ava have it?
00:52:01Find out who she really is.
00:52:02You're back!
00:52:03Look, I made you shots.
00:52:04Try one.
00:52:05Tell me what you like.
00:52:06Oh, I'm sorry.
00:52:07I'm sorry.
00:52:08I'm sorry.
00:52:09I'm sorry.
00:52:10I'm sorry.
00:52:11I'm sorry.
00:52:12I'm sorry.
00:52:13I'm sorry.
00:52:14I'm sorry.
00:52:15I'm sorry.
00:52:16I'm sorry.
00:52:17I'm sorry.
00:52:18I'm sorry.
00:52:19I'm sorry.
00:52:20I'm sorry.
00:52:21I'm sorry.
00:52:22I'm sorry.
00:52:23I'm sorry.
00:52:24I'm sorry.
00:52:25I'm sorry.
00:52:26I'm sorry.
00:52:27I'm sorry.
00:52:28I'm sorry.
00:52:29I'm sorry.
00:52:30I'm sorry.
00:52:31I'm sorry.
00:52:32I'm sorry.
00:52:33I'm sorry.
00:52:34I'm sorry.
00:52:35I'm sorry.
00:52:36I'm sorry.
00:52:37I'm sorry.
00:52:38I'm sorry.
00:52:39I'm sorry.
00:52:40I'm sorry.
00:52:41I'm sorry.
00:52:42I'm sorry.
00:52:43I'm sorry.
00:52:44I'm sorry.
00:52:45I'm sorry.
00:52:46I'm sorry.
00:52:47the other one, but I figured it symbolized our meaning, so I thought I'd wear it anyway.
00:52:51You like?
00:52:53It was you.
00:52:54What do you mean?
00:52:57Nothing.
00:52:59Wait here.
00:53:01Now you have no reason to doubt me.
00:53:07You found it! Oh my gosh, this is like a real fairy tale.
00:53:10The prince putting his glass slipper on his true Cinderella.
00:53:14Can you put it on me?
00:53:16So they can be reunited like you and me.
00:53:24Chloe, I offered you a place to stay here temporarily.
00:53:29You've been here a month. I think you should move out.
00:53:32What's wrong? Why are you being so cold? I lost my job because of you.
00:53:37I offered to give you a new one.
00:53:39I'd like you to leave first thing tomorrow morning.
00:53:43You want me and the baby out? Fine. We'll leave tomorrow.
00:53:47Wait a minute. What do you mean baby?
00:53:51I'm pregnant.
00:53:53What?
00:53:54Miss Chloe, you're absolutely fine. Just take some rest.
00:54:02I'll be fine once I have an ultrasound and a positive pregnancy test.
00:54:06I'll see to it the test results are sent to you.
00:54:16How is this possible?
00:54:18We were together once.
00:54:20I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to freak out.
00:54:24I'm fully prepared to take care of this baby on my own.
00:54:27If you still want to see me, we'll leave tomorrow.
00:54:29No, no.
00:54:30It's okay. Just stay here comfortably.
00:54:34I'll have the staff look after you.
00:54:36What I really want is for you to take care of me.
00:54:40I want it to be like the nightly night.
00:54:42I need time.
00:54:44For God's sake.
00:54:48What the hell does it take?
00:54:51Okay, what was so urgent that I needed to get here right away?
00:54:54Leopard Harrington from JPG has invited Ava to a private dinner at his house tonight.
00:55:02What? Why?
00:55:03Exactly.
00:55:05Why would a stubborn asshole who's been hell-bent on acquiring Emerald Tell
00:55:09suddenly change his attitude?
00:55:12And for that bitch.
00:55:14Because what's between her legs?
00:55:16That's why.
00:55:18I can't believe she'd be that low.
00:55:22Clinging onto Edmund and now seducing Clifford?
00:55:25He's old enough to be her grandfather.
00:55:27Well, soon the whole world will know she's a whore.
00:55:30Kate's already following.
00:55:32Mom, I think I've fallen for someone I shouldn't.
00:55:45When I was young, I fell in love with a man no one wanted me to be with.
00:55:51Dad?
00:55:53But he was the perfect guy.
00:55:55He was.
00:55:57And he was our family's driver.
00:56:00Wait.
00:56:01Why did you have a driver?
00:56:04I never told you this.
00:56:06I was born into a wealthy family.
00:56:09When I ran away with your father, I gave up everything.
00:56:15But I never regretted it for a second.
00:56:19So Ava, if you love someone, be brave.
00:56:25And if you need help being brave, just look at that lock.
00:56:30I'll always be with you.
00:56:34Don't say that.
00:56:36You're with me now.
00:56:40Mr. Harrington?
00:56:41What are you doing here?
00:56:49Mr. Harrington?
00:56:51What are you doing here?
00:56:55Victoria.
00:56:57Dad?
00:57:03I'm so sorry.
00:57:04I shouldn't have kicked you off like that.
00:57:09I'm sorry we lost so much time.
00:57:11Mom, what's going on?
00:57:13He's your grandpa, Ava.
00:57:21This is for the best.
00:57:24When I'm gone, you'll have each other to rely on.
00:57:31You're gonna be okay.
00:57:33I've arranged for the best cancer treatment team in the country.
00:57:37Thank you, Mr. Harrington.
00:57:43No more Mr. Harrington.
00:57:47Grandpa.
00:57:52Oh my God.
00:57:54It's actually true.
00:57:56He's meeting her mother?
00:58:00I've been here for a while.
00:58:02It's very comfortable.
00:58:03That house up there is beautiful.
00:58:05Yeah, it is.
00:58:06Fountain over here.
00:58:13It's still surreal how I found you two.
00:58:17You know, Ava.
00:58:20I'd like you to inherit JPG.
00:58:24And we should make our relationship public.
00:58:29I appreciate it.
00:58:30But I'm not ready for everyone to know.
00:58:33And besides, I'm not ready to leave M Hotel just yet.
00:58:37You mean you're not ready to leave Edmund.
00:58:42I understand.
00:58:45Just let me know when you're ready.
00:58:51Book two flights to Seattle.
00:58:53We have a visit with a partnering hotel.
00:58:56We?
00:58:57You're going with me.
00:58:59You're going with me.
00:59:01Gotcha.
00:59:02Wait.
00:59:10What happened?
00:59:12Wait, what happened?
00:59:31Don't tell me we...
00:59:43We walked.
00:59:44You accidentally slept with your boss twice in a month?
00:59:47What is wrong with you?
00:59:50Whatever happened last night?
00:59:52Just forget about it.
00:59:54You don't remember what happened last night.
01:00:01Watch him step.
01:00:03Do you have your key?
01:00:06Alright, off we go.
01:00:08Oh!
01:00:10Oh no.
01:00:15Oh no.
01:00:18Ava, what are you doing?
01:00:23Just getting comfortable.
01:00:26I really shouldn't...
01:00:30Oh shhh.
01:00:31Can I have some?
01:00:36Looks like my night just got better.
01:00:40Ava, what are you saying?
01:00:42Come on, Eddie.
01:00:44Do you like to kill them?
01:00:47Oh no.
01:01:06No!
01:01:07No, no, no, no!
01:01:09No, no, no!
01:01:11I'm really sorry!
01:01:15We didn't...
01:01:16We did not.
01:01:17We did the other time.
01:01:20What?
01:01:23I'm not sure what you're talking about.
01:01:30Looks like my night just got better.
01:01:32Looks like my night just got better.
01:01:35Do you like tequila?
01:01:36Do you like tequila?
01:01:42You were the mysterious woman that night.
01:01:45That Mr. Sinclair.
01:01:47I think you had me confused with someone else.
01:01:50Like, I think I'd remember if we...
01:01:53You know?
01:01:57Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.
01:02:00I've been trying to ignore my feelings, but...
01:02:04I can't.
01:02:06I care about you, Ava.
01:02:09More than I should.
01:02:12We shouldn't.
01:02:13Why shouldn't we?
01:02:14You know why.
01:02:16I just want to be with you.
01:02:18To talk to you.
01:02:19To dream beside you.
01:02:22To explore your life.
01:02:26Above all, to shield you from the sorrows of this world.
01:02:29You're not single, Edmund.
01:02:30What am I supposed to do?

01:07:52I paid for your little hotel room
01:07:54and cleaned up your mess with your special guest
01:07:58you're with a millionaire?
01:07:59a trillionaire actually
01:08:00I didn't want you to feel bad because he's everything you ever wanted

01:08:09you're the girl who moved in with Edmund
01:08:12that's what Edmund said
01:08:13that he mistook someone else for me

01:08:18I have to tell him
01:08:19wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
01:08:21It was an accident.
01:08:24I...
01:08:25I was trying to help you.
01:08:28And we fell for each other.
01:08:30I wish I could give you everything back, but...
01:08:33It's complicated now.
01:08:35It's not just about you.
01:08:36I'm done taking care of you.
01:08:39I'm having this baby.
01:08:43Please, please don't tell him the truth.
01:08:46If you do, he's gonna leave me and the baby and I can't be a single mom.
01:08:50I don't know how to do that.
01:08:52Chloe, you're such a fool.
01:08:54This is the only thing I've ever wanted.
01:08:58Please, please take care of me like you always do.
01:09:02Please let me have him.
01:09:06I promise I won't tell him.
01:09:09I'll quit after the press conference and I'll never see him again.
01:09:14You can have him.
01:09:15I'm so, so sorry about everything that I've done to you.
01:09:24You'll always be my best friend.
01:09:26Is that the same secretary?
01:09:48Ms. Grant looks absolutely incredible today.
01:09:55Hey, she's wearing the dress sent by Mr. Harrington.
01:10:01First off, I want to thank you all for attending our press conference.
01:10:06I am thrilled to announce the strategy collaboration between M. Hotel and JPG.
01:10:12As you all know, this has been a huge undertaking.
01:10:16I didn't know that cow could clean up that well.
01:10:19And we are glad to have finally reached an agreement with JPG
01:10:22and welcome Mr. Harrington and his company into our family.
01:10:39What's happening?
01:10:45What's happening?
01:10:47Is you a Clifford Harrington's mistress and you've been spying on M. Hotels?
01:10:55How much did Clifford pay you to leave this deal?
01:10:57Nothing.
01:10:58Are you crazy?
01:10:59This woman is trying to set me up.
01:11:01She's a liar.
01:11:01Why would the chairman of JPG go to such great lengths for a mere secretary unless he was screwing her?
01:11:10Mr. Harrington and Mr. Harrington's friendship has absolutely nothing to do with our meeting today.
01:11:27Friendship?
01:11:29Clifford has been paying for all of her mother's medical bills.
01:11:32That's more than a friend, don't you think?
01:11:35Mr. Harrington and I's relationship is an unusual one.
01:11:38So you finally admit it.
01:11:40Miss Grant, you are fired.
01:11:44We will investigate the corporate espionage and our lawyers will be in touch.
01:11:50We will do no such thing.
01:12:02It's true.
01:12:03She is doing their own treat.
01:12:07See, look at them.
01:12:08I wasn't lying.
01:12:09She's a whore.
01:12:10I wanted to respect Ava's wishes and keep her true identity private.
01:12:27But I couldn't let her reputation get ruined like this.
01:12:32May I introduce Ava Harrington.
01:12:35My granddaughter and heiress
01:12:38and future president of JPG Hotel Group.
01:12:52She's your granddaughter?
01:12:55Oh my God, that's why you gave all that money to your mom.
01:12:58I was getting the wrong information.
01:13:03How dare you frame Mrs. Grant?
01:13:07You wicked bitch.
01:13:10You blamed her for stealing a job that you wanted.
01:13:12And then you set her up and you used me in the process.
01:13:16I never should have listened to you.
01:13:18Get out!
01:13:19I never want to see your disgusting face again.
01:13:23But boss, I did exact things you told me to.
01:13:25Don't fire me.
01:13:26Ava, I hate you.
01:13:28I have always admired your talent.
01:13:32This whole situation is just a big misunderstanding.
01:13:35Let's put it behind us.
01:13:37I think we should.
01:13:38And you should leave.
01:13:41Don't we need to finish the meeting?
01:13:43Yes.
01:13:44We'll continue.
01:13:44But without you present.
01:13:47You're no longer the GM of their motels.
01:13:50You're fired.
01:13:52You're fired.
01:13:53Well, Mr. Sinclair, everything I've done has been for in the best interest of this company.
01:13:58You can't just kick me out of here.
01:14:01Security!
01:14:01There's one more.
01:14:16Her.
01:14:17In the back.
01:14:19I started investigating the moment I heard these outrageous rumors.
01:14:23This morning, I learned that this woman and Christine had been working together to destroy my granddaughter.
01:14:38After everything I gave up for you, you do this to me?
01:14:42You know me, and you lie to me like this?
01:14:45You're my best friend, and I don't even recognize you anymore.
01:14:50Best friend?
01:14:51I was manipulated by Christine.
01:14:54I really thought you and Clifford were involved.
01:14:57The first time my presentation got deleted, it was you, wasn't it?
01:15:01You had Edmund, but that wasn't enough.
01:15:03You had to ruin my career, too.
01:15:05You were the only one with access to my computer before the meeting.
01:15:08Ava, I would never do anything to hurt you.
01:15:10You have to believe me.
01:15:11No, I don't.
01:15:14You lie again and again.
01:15:16I don't know who you are anymore.
01:15:17I don't understand.
01:15:19You two know each other.
01:15:20She's my roommate.
01:15:23You told me you lived alone.
01:15:26Edmund, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make things weird.
01:15:29I didn't think you'd like me being your secretary's best friend.
01:15:33Besides, we were close, but we rarely know each other now.
01:15:37This woman knows nothing about me.
01:15:39Nothing?
01:15:40Chloe, I'm done being manipulated by you.
01:15:46I don't care that you have a baby.
01:15:48Edmund, it was me that night.
01:15:50Not her.
01:15:52It was you the whole time.
01:15:53Okay, maybe it was her the first night, but it's been me ever since.
01:16:01We have a connection.
01:16:02Silence!
01:16:04Lily, I want you to leave.
01:16:08And I don't want to see you ever again.
01:16:11What about her child?
01:16:12There is no child.
01:16:15We never slept together.
01:16:18Now, think.
01:16:24Wait.
01:16:25There's something I need back.
01:16:27I don't want you having any part of me.
01:16:37You win.
01:16:42I'm going to announce my retirement so that I can spend more time with your mom, Ayla.
01:16:49Will you take over, JPG?
01:16:52What do you say?
01:16:57If you ever mistreat my granddaughter again, I'll ruin you.
01:17:02You have my word.
01:17:04I won't let her down ever again.
01:17:12Part of me knew it was you.
01:17:14Really?
01:17:16How?
01:17:18Just a feeling.
01:17:20And what are you feeling right now?
01:17:21I'm feeling like we're in the middle of a meeting and everyone's watching.
01:17:33My camera.
01:17:35It's you.
01:17:36Excuse me, sir, madam, a special delivery just arrived.
01:18:04Oh my god, it's a handwritten letter from the King of England.
01:18:16He's attending our wedding?
01:18:18Sorry, I didn't say anything.
01:18:20I sent him an invitation.
01:18:22Technically, he is family.
01:18:24This is incredible.
01:18:26I mean, I don't even have a duke, but yes.
01:18:31I know I'm a duke, but first and foremost, I'm your head.
01:18:52So, out of all the hotels, this is the High Moon Suite you make.
01:18:57Exactly.
01:18:58I like it.
01:18:59You.
01:19:01I love you.
