00:00I-I-I'm sorry.
00:26Good morning, Troublemaker.
00:28Well...
00:30I'm thinking maybe I'm way past the point of no return.
00:34I'm running traffic lights to spend a little time looking into your eyes.
00:40It's where I've been aching...
00:42So, so what happened?
00:44You don't remember?
00:46I remember...
00:48taking your phone...
00:50and...
00:52Oh my god.
00:54I should probably just sleep now.
00:56It's fine.
00:58Relax.
01:00Yeah.
01:02Am I in too deep?
01:04So, um...
01:06How did I get here?
01:08Well, I had to bring you somewhere safe.
01:10Otherwise, you probably would have went on a rampage and ruined the entire engagement part.
01:14Oh my god.
01:16My boss is gonna kill me.
01:18Look, I-I'm so sorry for-for taking your phone and the mess and if I cause any trouble, I promise I'll clear it all up.
01:24But right now, I really have to go.
01:28Actually, it's probably not gonna be that easy to fix.
01:34Well...
01:35What do you think?
01:37Fiancé?
01:38In a rare public appearance, Ethan, the youngest son of the Winston family, was spotted at an engagement party hosted by a family business partner.
01:47It was reported that he made a public statement declaring his engagement and left with his fiancé.
01:53So when did my grandson get engaged?
01:55His fiancé is the wedding planner of this event.
01:59You're done, Maya.
02:23What the hell were you thinking? The wedding planner showing up at the engagement party and stealing a spotlight?
02:28Do you have any idea what this means for a reputation?
02:30I'm so sorry.
02:31The honors for the next six months are cancelled.
02:35And now Tracy wants to sue.
02:37Do you have any idea how much that could cost us?
02:42But there is something you can do.
02:44Tracy said if you can find something extremely unique and make this the wedding of the century, she'll drop the case.
02:53Okay.
02:54The condition is the artist Moiré.
02:58You have to get him to collaborate on the design.
03:01But no one's been able to find Moiré for the past three years. How am I supposed to...
03:04Or...
03:06Or...
03:07You can pack up and leave the company.
03:09Are you okay, Grandma?
03:19Well, I might be okay if you bring the girl back.
03:23Listen, Ethan.
03:24You're my favorite and the only heir to the Winston family.
03:28I want to walk you down the aisle, not being old and sitting in a wheelchair.
03:34If you don't act soon, I'll just arrange for you to marry someone else.
03:38And I won't care if you like it or not.
03:40What?
03:50We need to stay engaged.
03:53What?
03:56Here's the deal.
03:57I need you, Maya, need to be my fiancé.
04:01Just pretend.
04:02No.
04:03I'm tired of the lies and deceit.
04:04The media's talking about you, right?
04:06You need to take responsibility for this.
04:09That doesn't mean I need to keep faking it.
04:11No, I need to get back to work.
04:13Please just leave my apartment.
04:14This could be the one lie that ends all lies.
04:23Out!
04:24All right.
04:25All right.
04:26Anything you want to just ask, I'll make it happen.
04:29Well, you know that artist that hasn't been seen in the public in three years?
04:34I need him to co-plan this wedding with me.
04:36So unless there's a magical way you can make him appear, then please just leave.
04:41What if I just happened to know this, Mr. Moore?
04:43Graduated from ENSBA in Paris, majored in art history and oil painting.
04:52A young American, right?
04:53I can bring Mr. Moore into you.
04:56But in exchange, you have to marry me.
05:01What?
05:03Do you really know him?
05:04Or is this just another lie?
05:06He's somewhat of a mystery figure in the art world.
05:09Oh, yeah.
05:10I met him when I was studying abroad in Europe.
05:12Given who I am?
05:13Getting in touch with him was never an issue.
05:15Look, I need to think about this.
05:18With that expression, I'll take it we have a deal.
05:20You have thirty minutes.
05:21Okay.
05:22I'm in.
05:23But if we're going to do this, we have to set some rules.
05:28Turn around.
05:29And the way you burst your hair from your face.
05:30And the way you smile.
05:31I can't wait to turn another page.
05:33Did it really take you that long to decide?
05:34What?
05:35We still have time.
05:36Oh, I mean, I guess people usually wait for me.
05:39Okay, like I said, if we're going to do this, we have to have some rules between us.
05:44Rule number one.
05:45Rule number one.
05:46We don't get involved in each other's lives.
05:47Okay, okay.
05:48If we're going to do this, we have to have some rules between us.
05:49Rule number one.
05:50We don't get involved in each other's lives.
05:51And the way you burst your hair from your face.
05:52And the way you smile.
05:53And the way you smile.
05:54I can't wait to turn another page.
05:55And the way you smile.
05:56And the way you smile.
05:57I can't wait to turn another page.
05:58What? We still have time.
06:00Oh, I mean, I guess people usually wait for me.
06:04Okay, like I said, if we're going to do this, we have to have some rules between us.
06:10Rule number one, we don't get involved in each other's lives.
06:15Sure.
06:16Rule number two, no developing feelings for each other, and we can't...
06:22You know...
06:23We can't have...
06:28No sex!
06:29Wow.
06:31Yeah, no problem.
06:33But we will need to act like you're my fiancé.
06:37So be staying at my place from now on.
06:39Moreover, I'll need to touch you.
06:42It's a necessary part of making this whole thing look real.
06:46Like this.
06:53The way your body moves when you dance.
06:56Like an ocean wave.
06:59We need people to think that we're a couple.
07:04See that car across the street?
07:08Everyone in town is watching our every move.
07:15But we have to sleep in different beds.
07:18I don't.
07:19It's my honor to announce that I, Ethan Winston, am now engaged to Miss Maya Hart.
07:40Her wedding will take place in the near future.
07:45Wait here. I'll go get the car.
07:47Well, well, well.
07:50What do we have here?
07:52My old friend.
07:54Do you like the photos I took of you, Maya?
07:56Or should I call you...
07:58Future Mrs. Winston?
08:00You know what?
08:02I don't know what are you playing, but I'm sure...
08:05When the truth gonna come out, you're gonna be down.
08:07It's none of your business.
08:09I'm a professional, so your wedding will go smoothly, but then just get out of my sight.
08:12Look at you. Acting all tough. Just being engaged just for a few days. Who knows how long you've been involved with him.
08:19You? You have no say here. Who was the one playing hide and seek in my house while I was on a work trip?
08:26I don't get it. Why Ethan would choose you? What tricks did you play on him, huh?
08:30Oh, I see. You work hard for the money or...
08:35How dare you!
08:38Stay away from my fiancée.
08:40Oh, well, well. I did not expect Ethan drag you along here. Let me guess. You must want to meet your idol. Right, sweetheart?
08:49That's none of your business.
08:52Ah, just so you know. Ethan's real love is his ex, Skylar, the dancer.
09:00She's the only one who owns his heart. And you, you're just a little placeholder.
09:07You would lose, you know, your job. You would lose your precious boyfriends.
09:13Hansel would be nothing.
09:15Mind your business, Miss Mistress.
09:19Shouldn't you be worrying about Parker? Who is he playing hide and seek with right now?
09:27I wouldn't do that if I were you.
09:30Oh, Maya. Another guy to save your sorry ass, right?
09:41Hey!
09:44No more warnings. I told you that.
09:49Are you alright?
09:52She's alright, now.
09:55Chris?
09:57It's been a while, Maya.
09:59It's been a while.
10:02You should probably step away from my friend as well.
10:04Do you know who I am?
10:14Chris, why didn't you tell me you were back?
10:17Who's this?
10:19Oh, this is my childhood neighbor, Chris. We've known each other forever. He just got back from studying abroad.
10:24Just a neighbor, huh? You used to chase me around like a little sucker, didn't you?
10:30You used to say when you grew up you'd marry me, remember?
10:33Oh, okay.
10:35Maya, your neighbor has a really great sense of humor, doesn't he?
10:39Um, hey neighbor, that's a really silly story from your childhood, but, uh, I'm her fiancé now, so, you know.
10:44Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and now please welcome our sponsor, Mr. Winston, who will unveil the highlight of our exhibition.
10:53You should get a closer look from this.
10:54Okay.
10:56Woo!
10:57It's my honor to unveil this for all of you tonight.
11:06This painting is done by an artist who has been in seclusion for the last three years.
11:11Well, this is his declaration of return.
11:14I present to you all...
11:19Rebirth.
11:27This artist is none other than Noiré.
11:30He's also mentioned that he will be collaborating with another designer who he admires very much.
11:36This will also be given to a beautiful woman here tonight.
11:41And she is.
11:48Is that Skylar?
11:50Skylar the dancer?
11:52She's Ethan's ex. No wonder he threw this whole exhibition.
11:54Wow, look at her dress.
11:57That painting was definitely made for her.
11:59Mm-hmm.
12:00How romantic.
12:02Oh.
12:03Oh, it's been ages.
12:04Oh, you can't even fix your tie without me.
12:11What are you doing here?
12:13Isn't it normal for dancers to get inspired by art exhibitions?
12:17Do you remember that time that we...
12:18That's enough.
12:19We are over, okay? Stay away from me.
12:20Don't lie to yourself, Ethan. I know you.
12:22I am engaged, and you know them.
12:24She's just a plain girl. You'll need me, Ethan.
12:25We were meant to be together. We always were.
12:27Don't lie to yourself, Ethan. I know you.
12:30I am engaged, and you know them.
12:32She's just a plain girl. You'll need me, Ethan.
12:34We were meant to be together. We always were.
12:36I'm not sure what's going on here.
12:38That doesn't seem right.
12:39It's fine, Chris. He was just living his life.
12:53This is... part of our marital dreamer.
12:56Maya, no matter what happens, you can always talk to me.
13:00Maya, look, this isn't what you think. I was just...
13:02I get it. We were busy.
13:04We were busy.
13:11Shall I take you home, Maya?
13:13No.
13:15Neighbor. There's no need.
13:16Okay, she's my fiancée. I'll take care of her. Thanks.
13:19And what about your dancer ex-girlfriend, fiancée?
13:23Maya deserves someone better than a half-hearted playboy.
13:26Look, Maya isn't an errand girl for a playboy like you.
13:30Treat a playboy...
13:32...boy like you.
13:34Treat her right.
13:36She has a better place to be.
13:38My number hasn't changed, Maya.
13:40Call me anytime you need.
13:46Hello, darling.
13:48I know we haven't met yet, but I know for sure that we'll share a common interest here.
14:04Hey, big time planner.
14:06Noire asked me to give this to you.
14:16This means a lot.
14:18About tonight, it...
14:20Look, it shouldn't be like this.
14:21No, I've held up my end of the bargain and I really think...
14:26What?
14:28I think you should do your part too. In public, I mean.
14:33You shouldn't be getting that close to other men.
14:35Chris.
14:37The neighbor boy, huh?
14:38Wait a minute.
14:40This is just an act, remember?
14:42We said we wouldn't interfere with each other.
14:45All I'm saying is in the eyes of the public, this could look bad for us.
14:48Bad for us.
14:49Bad for us.
14:51Oh, come on.
14:52Even I can feel the chemistry between you and your ex-girlfriend from 50 yards away.
14:56No, okay, it's not what you...
14:57No, I know!
14:58It's not what I think.
14:59I'm not Skylar.
15:00She's beautiful and infamous and you have history.
15:04He's everything I'm not.
15:05Of course you choose her.
15:07Oh wait, why should I be surprised?
15:08It felt like it's the first time this has happened to me.
15:10Look, I'm not the playboy that Chris says I am, okay?
15:12And I'm certainly not doing what your ex-boyfriend Parker's doing.
15:15I chose you.
15:16I feel it and it's getting stronger every day, so don't make assumptions about it.
15:19Oh really?
15:20So what, am I just making it up then?
15:23Well, maybe we should stop the show and let the truth come out.
15:35No one touches my fiancee.
15:46Did I go too far?
15:47Did I go too far?
16:03Breaking news, young CEO holds art exhibit for ex-girlfriend.
16:11The famous dancer Skylar and spends big on her paintings.
16:16Rumors of reconciliation.
16:18Fiancee may be left in the dust.
16:21If you want to call up the wedding you can do it anytime.
16:24So your engagement's not real?
16:25Yes.
16:26Can we talk, please?
16:29If you want to call at the wedding, you can do it any time.
16:34So your engagement's not real.
16:37It's just a deal?
16:39Technically, yes.
16:42Hey, no matter how you look at it, he's complicated.
16:46As a heir to a big family, your feelings will never be his top priority.
16:49You can't rely on these types of love and relationships.
16:52Too many things get in the way in their life.
16:54I know, but Chris...
16:55Also, his past and maybe even present with Skylar?
16:59The right man would never leave you in tears.
17:01You know that.
17:03You deserve better.
17:05Thank you, Chris.
17:07I get it, but he's already done so much for me.
17:10A deal's a deal, and I agreed to it.
17:12I have to do my part.
17:14Even if it's just a fake engagement.
17:16Besides, all we really have to do is pretend to be a couple in public.
17:19Ethan, we need to talk.
17:30Ethan, we need to talk.
17:30Skylar, what are you doing here?
17:49You never changed the locks.
17:51Don't you want to know why I'm back?
17:53Not really.
18:02What happened?
18:04An accident.
18:04I got hurt.
18:08I can't dance again.
18:10My career is over, Ethan.
18:12I know I messed up in the past, but I never, ever stopped loving you.
18:24The past is in the past.
18:25Let's move forward.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:36I shouldn't be here.
18:37I'm sorry for interrupting something important.
18:40Maya, wait.
18:41Let her go.
18:43What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:46Ethan, this isn't like you.
18:48I know this engagement is fake.
18:49Whether it's real or fake is none of your concern.
18:54Maya.
18:55Maya.
18:55Maya.
18:56Hi, Tracy.
19:04It's me.
19:06I'm in.
19:09Let's do this.
19:14Breaking news.
19:15Heir of the Winston family, Ethan, has reconciled with his ex-girlfriend, Skylar.
19:20Former chief dancer of a dance troupe, seemed to hint at her indifference towards the engagement, Todd.
19:26She rarely mentions Ethan.
19:28I want you to bring Maya tomorrow.
19:36I want you to bring Maya tomorrow.
19:41I have a few things I want to discuss with you.
19:45No way.
19:53Really?
19:54That is exactly what happened when I went to Europe.
19:57Oh, Ethan.
19:59You're here.
20:01Look who's back.
20:02Skylar, what are you doing here?
20:08It's Grandmother's birthday.
20:10You know, she's always been a grandmother to me.
20:11I heard about her health scare, and I wanted to come by and check on her.
20:16That's okay, right?
20:18Happy birthday, Grandma.
20:20Thank you, darling.
20:21Having someone who loves you and gets you, looking after you for the rest of your life,
20:27is the best birthday present I could have.
20:30You know I'm the one that's meant for you.
20:45I knew you'd come.
20:47Don't get the wrong idea.
20:48I didn't come for you.
20:51I knew you'd come.
20:52Don't get the wrong idea.
20:54I didn't come for you.
20:56At least I kept my word.
21:00Happy birthday, Ada.
21:05Thank you, darling.
21:07You look stunning.
21:09You're always so glamorous, Ada.
21:11And you shine in us.
21:13Oh.
21:21Everyone?
21:22If I may, a toast.
21:25It's Ada's birthday, and not only is she the pillar of the Winston family,
21:29but she is a loving grandmother and the most remarkable woman.
21:33She always puts her family first and is a great support to us all.
21:39There's also a couple with us today.
21:43And Ethan's happiness is always what Ada wanted.
21:47And this is truly a double blessing.
21:50Cheers.
21:51Cheers.
21:51Cheers.
21:51Cheers.
21:59We need to talk.
22:03There's nothing to talk about.
22:06Oh, my God.
22:07I am so sorry.
22:11Let me help you with that.
22:13No, it's fine.
22:14You know, I'll do it myself.
22:15All right.
22:16Ada looks great tonight, doesn't she?
22:34What do you want, Skylar?
22:37She doesn't get it.
22:40Our relationship ended three years ago.
22:43Can I remind you that you're the one who broke it off?
22:46Oh, come on.
22:47Is this about Maya?
22:48Your fake fiancé?
22:50Are you really falling?
22:51Yes.
22:52Okay.
22:52Yes, and for the hundredth time, we are over.
22:55Okay, Maya is the only one I want.
23:01Maya.
23:04Maya.
23:04In fact, how much did you have to drink?
23:28You didn't realize what you just did?
23:32I kissed my fiancé.
23:34What's wrong with that?
23:40Well, does kissing your fiancé always require getting used to drunk?
23:43Yeah.
23:45I hate him.
23:47Plays with my heart.
23:49I don't think it's hate.
23:56I really don't.
23:57I don't.
23:57The way your body moves when you dance.
24:06The way your body moves when you dance.
24:07The way your body moves when you dance.
24:08I don't think it's bad.
24:09The way your body moves when you dance.
24:12I don't know.
24:14What's that?
24:16We'll talk tomorrow, okay?
24:42Lie down for a bit.
24:43I'm going to go say goodbye to Grandma and we'll head home.
24:58Grandma, I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you tonight, but I have to take
25:02Maya home now.
25:04This does not look like the Ethan I know.
25:08There's some people causing trouble, but don't worry, I'll handle it.
25:13I don't know what's going on between you and Maya, but remember, you don't hurt people
25:18you love.
25:19I know, Grandma.
25:22I believe you'll make the right choice.
25:27Alright, Maya, let's go home.
25:34Come down.
25:35Maya?
25:36Maya?
25:37Break down a spell on me.
25:41Oh, it's been ages.
25:46You can't even fix your tie without me.
25:53I ended up picking up this way out of me.
25:54It's been a long time care.
25:56It does just have to go last year and goodbye.
25:58You
26:11Nice body, even with the coat hiding there, huh?
26:16This is what happened when you get too close to ink and the whiskey.
26:28Are you okay?
26:31I don't know.
26:33Watch out!
26:36Maya!
26:37Maya!
26:41Maya!
26:42Help! Help! Somebody help!
26:44Easy.
26:59How are you feeling?
27:02Is it painful?
27:04The doctor says I'll be fine.
27:07Have you had any issues with anyone recently?
27:09I mean, any idea who might have done this?
27:12The only issue I've had is with your jealous ex-girlfriend and my cheating lying client.
27:19Well, once you get better, I don't want you going out alone.
27:23Okay, even if it's just to meet up with Chris.
27:25Didn't we say we wouldn't get involved in each other's lives?
27:29This feels a lot like restriction to me.
27:32Yeah, I know.
27:34Okay, but special times require special measures.
27:37I just want you to be with me and be safe, that's all.
27:41Oh, really?
27:42Because if I remember correctly, the entire reason I'm lying here is because I got too close to you.
27:50Wow.
27:51Oh, forever!
27:52Oh, forever!
28:04Got it.
28:08Maya, Maya.
28:10The girl who survives it all.
28:11at all.
28:12You want to get everything you want.
28:18Maya, Maya, it's always Maya, smarter, more successful.
28:27Highland Parker, but somehow she gets Ethan.
28:30Skylar's supposed to break them up, but, well, I'm at a wrong move here.
28:41Skylar, it's all taken care of.
28:46Our partnership is still all.
29:02Mr. Noiray, this is Maya, thank you so much for helping out.
29:07It's an honor to collaborate with you.
29:09I've been a loyal fan of yours for years.
29:11I would love to have your insight on a couple of things, but that's okay.
29:16To you, what is love?
29:19What does it mean to you?
29:21Hi Maya, tell me, what is love to you?
29:26To be honest, I'm a little confused about it right now.
29:32If two people are together as an act at the beginning, would it turn into real feelings
29:36along the way?
29:39And so, how do I know what my true feelings are?
29:44I'm the right one for you, Ethan.
30:09You know that.
30:14Explain yourself.
30:15I don't know what you're talking about.
30:17I'm gonna let it slide this time, but stay away from Maya.
30:21Hey, you're up.
30:46Are you feeling better?
30:48Yeah.
30:50You were in a hurry. Where'd you go?
30:53Um, I had to go to the office.
30:55Something urgent came up, and it needed to be handled.
31:00Liar.
31:03I see. With everything that happened, you must be so busy.
31:07No, it's fine. Ada's been helping, so...
31:10Are you sure you're all right?
31:16I'm fine. Just tired of living in lies.
31:21What if I just happened to know this, Mr. Noor?
31:25Just a big fan. I really admire his work.
31:28Thank you. This means a lot.
31:32Look, Maya, there's some things that I need to tell you.
31:36Hello?
31:47This guy lives in trouble.
