Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Emma had just caught her fiancé, Nathan, cheating with her biggest rival the night before their wedding.
00:00:07This whole forbidden affair really revs me up.
00:00:13It's your last night as a bachelor.
00:00:17I can't stand the thought of you being...
00:00:19As if that wasn't bad enough, a positive pregnancy test that didn't belong to her was lying in Nathan's trash can.
00:00:27Emma was devastated.
00:00:30Despite his infidelity, Emma planned to go through with the marriage, then divorce Nathan for half of his fortune as payback.
00:00:41Please leave a message at the tone.
00:00:43We smell again?
00:00:46God, who's late to their own wedding day?
00:00:50But Emma never cared about money.
00:00:53She loved Nathan, and secretly hoped that things could still work between them.
00:01:00Finally, Nathan, where the hell have you been?
00:01:02Emma, Emma, listen. Something's come up. Amber is sick.
00:01:06Amber? Who cares? How is that your problem?
00:01:09You know she's my agency's top model, and she's supposed to pose for the Bellam jewelry show today.
00:01:13Today is our wedding day, you slimy piece...
00:01:17Bellam's an important client. I can't afford to disappoint them.
00:01:21Besides, Amber is your friend. I thought you'd have a little compassion, Emma.
00:01:26Compassion?
00:01:27Look, I can't talk right now. We'll reschedule the wedding. Goodbye.
00:01:32Nathan.
00:01:32What was supposed to be the happiest day of her life had become a total nightmare.
00:01:47No, Dad. I have no idea why she left.
00:01:50Maybe one of your ridiculous contracts scared her off.
00:01:53I want you to take responsibility.
00:01:55You're supposed to be the CEO soon.
00:01:58Don't you care about the company?
00:01:59Many appearances matter, Eric.
00:02:02The board won't accept a bachelor as their CEO.
00:02:06Fine. Find me a suitable bride, and I will sign the paperwork.
00:02:10I had a suitable bride. You scared her off.
00:02:14Find yourself a wife in the next 24 hours, or our company goes down the drain!
00:02:19And put the damn bow tie back on.
00:02:21Interesting.
00:02:28Hot, eligible bachelor looking for a wife.
00:02:32I added a few names, sir.
00:02:34I don't have a choice.
00:02:35So just get somebody here as quickly as you can, okay?
00:02:37Right away, Mr. Rapp.
00:02:38A wild idea struck Emma like a bolt of lightning.
00:02:44This was how she would get revenge on her cheating fiancé.
00:02:48Hi.
00:02:49My name is Emma.
00:02:51Emma Miller.
00:02:52That was fast.
00:02:54Uh, Eric.
00:02:57Eric Roberts.
00:02:58Hi.
00:02:58I heard you're in need of a bride, so here I am.
00:03:06Walk with me.
00:03:08I don't remember seeing you on my list of potential brides.
00:03:12Oh, uh, yeah, I was a late addition.
00:03:15You must have just not noticed me.
00:03:18I doubt that.
00:03:19It would be impossible not to notice you.
00:03:24Uh, listen, Mr. Roberts, I...
00:03:27Eric, please.
00:03:29Eric.
00:03:30Um, I'm sort of trying to get revenge on my cheating ex-fiancé by marrying you, so...
00:03:37You'd be doing me a favor with this wedding.
00:03:39That's good.
00:03:41Because you'd be doing me a favor as well.
00:03:43So, what do you say?
00:03:48Oh, how?
00:03:54Emma Miller.
00:03:55Will you marry me...
00:03:57out of the sheer convenience for us both?
00:04:03Okay, let's do this.
00:04:05Let's go.
00:04:08I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:04:12Are you going to kiss the bride?
00:04:13As their lips touched, Emma's mind went blank.
00:04:18She had never been kissed like this.
00:04:20For a moment, she forgot all about Nathan.
00:04:23Next.
00:04:24And the fact that Amber was now pregnant with his child.
00:04:27Oh, my God, that was...
00:04:30Fun?
00:04:31Exhilarating?
00:04:32I was going to say crazy, but...
00:04:34God, yeah, it's exhilarating being married to a complete stranger.
00:04:38Um, about that.
00:04:39Now that we're married, I think there's maybe a few things you should know about me.
00:04:43Don't tell me you are a masked vigilante by night.
00:04:48Nothing that heroic, I'm afraid.
00:04:51I'm somewhat of a public figure.
00:04:54My family's company has generated a considerable amount of wealth.
00:04:58You say that like it's a bad thing.
00:05:03As a wise man once said, more money, more problems.
00:05:07Mr. Roberts, is it true that you tied the knot?
00:05:09Does this mean you're the CEO of Kaleidoscope Entertainment?
00:05:11Kaleidoscope, how rich are you?
00:05:22You know what?
00:05:23You should take that.
00:05:24When you're done, why don't you meet me at this hotel?
00:05:28Miss, I'm here.
00:05:35Uh, I'm right here.
00:05:38What do you want?
00:05:39Don't hang up.
00:05:42Where have you been? I tried calling.
00:05:44Oh, I was busy. It is my wedding day.
00:05:47Listen, I need your help.
00:05:49Amber is too sick to model for the Bellarm show.
00:05:51I need you to step in for her.
00:05:52Oh, now you need me.
00:05:54Well, gee, I wouldn't want to take such a big opportunity away from precious Amber.
00:06:00Baby, I know I messed up.
00:06:02You have every right to be upset.
00:06:04Yeah, gee, you think?
00:06:05You're the only available model who could possibly get here in time.
00:06:10This show is for the Bellarm crown bracelet.
00:06:12The prize of the collection.
00:06:14This could make or break a career, understand?
00:06:16This is your time to shine, Emma.
00:06:18You're right.
00:06:20It is my time to shine.
00:06:21All right, I will be there as soon as I can.
00:06:26And when I get there, you and I are going to have a little chat.
00:06:36Where to Mr. Roberts? Back to the manor?
00:06:38Not yet.
00:06:40I want you to pull up everything you can find about my new wife.
00:06:45Emma Miller.
00:06:50Let's see where she's headed.
00:06:51Follow that car.
00:06:56As Emma arrived backstage at the Bellarm fashion show,
00:07:00she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope until she saw Nathan.
00:07:04It took you so long.
00:07:05Are you kidding me?
00:07:06You just left me at the altar.
00:07:07You're a mess.
00:07:09You're not even wearing shoes.
00:07:09Can we get our camera ready, please?
00:07:11Do what you can.
00:07:12Nathan!
00:07:13Go!
00:07:15Okay, here is the centerpiece.
00:07:18The crown.
00:07:19Where is it?
00:07:20Oh.
00:07:21What's going on?
00:07:25It's too big.
00:07:27It was fitted van, but not you.
00:07:29My God, we're sc...
00:07:30We don't have time for you, sir.
00:07:32I will make it work.
00:07:33What?
00:07:34What?
00:07:34What?
00:07:34Here, put this on.
00:07:39What's this?
00:07:40What does it look like?
00:07:41It's a mask.
00:07:42For your face.
00:07:43Don't look at me like that.
00:07:45Bellarm insisted.
00:07:45They want to...
00:07:47They want to...
00:07:47I like the bracelet.
00:07:49Maintain a certain...
00:07:50Mystique.
00:07:51Oh, I get it.
00:07:54It's like a mystery.
00:07:56Like when you don't know the sex of your unborn baby.
00:08:00Uh...
00:08:00Baby, I don't know.
00:08:03Just put the mask on, all right?
00:08:05Sure, Nathan.
00:08:06Whatever Bellarm wants.
00:08:08Curtain in five.
00:08:09Five.
00:08:09Thank you, five.
00:08:10Hey, girly.
00:08:19How's my favorite client?
00:08:21And yes, I tell all my clients they're my favorite.
00:08:24But with you, I mean it.
00:08:26I'm at the Berlin Fashion Show.
00:08:28Nathan wants me to fill in for Amber.
00:08:29That's great.
00:08:30This could be your big break.
00:08:31Not great.
00:08:33Amber is pregnant with Nathan's child.
00:08:35And is out with morning sickness.
00:08:37Oh, my God.
00:08:38Oh, my God!
00:08:40Yeah, I know.
00:08:45Also, I got married this morning to someone that I just met.
00:08:51Girl, I have to ask.
00:08:53Are you having a psychotic episode or something?
00:08:56Maybe.
00:08:57Okay, listen.
00:08:58Nathan wants me to wear this ridiculous mask.
00:09:02He says that the client wants it.
00:09:03But I know it's because he just doesn't want me in the spotlight.
00:09:06Dad.
00:09:07As your friend and manager, I won't let him get away with it.
00:09:10Don't worry.
00:09:11I have a plan.
00:09:14But I'm going to need your help.
00:09:17Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's annual Bellarm Jewelry Show.
00:09:23Finally, it was Emma's moment to shine.
00:09:35Julius, Bellarm's founder himself.
00:09:37I hope everything's to your liking, sir.
00:09:40Nathan, why is Amber wearing that god-oven mask?
00:09:43Oh, you thought it would add, like, this nice...
00:09:47Oh, see, I don't pay you to think.
00:09:49This better go good, Nathan, or your head is going to roll.
00:09:53Bellarm is thrilled to present the star of our spring collection,
00:09:58the crown bracelet.
00:10:00Sorry, folks.
00:10:01I'm not sure what's going on.
00:10:03Our model Amber was supposed to be wearing the...
00:10:05Nathan, where is my bracelet?
00:10:13This stunning piece was designed by our founder, Julius Durand.
00:10:19Her beloved daughter, and worn in an unconventional, yet memorable style.
00:10:25Then, something caught Emma's eye.
00:10:28A face in the crowd.
00:10:29But not just any face.
00:10:36Then, disaster struck.
00:10:51I knew it.
00:10:52You're an imposter.
00:10:55Somebody get this imposter off my stage.
00:10:56She broke the crown bracelet.
00:10:58I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
00:11:00It was an accident.
00:11:03Who the hell do you think you are?
00:11:06That's Emma Miller.
00:11:07She used to be a hot model until her career tanked a few years back.
00:11:10Let me rephrase.
00:11:11What is she doing on my stage?
00:11:13Where is the girl that I hired?
00:11:15Amber fell ill at the last minute.
00:11:18Emma must have snuck in wearing the mask.
00:11:20Why, I wouldn't be surprised if she poisoned Amber to steal the spotlight.
00:11:24Oh, you begged me to take over, you lying s-
00:11:27I'm not!
00:11:29I should have you arrested.
00:11:31You are ruined.
00:11:33Your career is over.
00:11:36Well, the career that's ending today is yours, Julius.
00:11:40Unless you change your tone, I'm back away from Miss Miller.
00:11:45Now.
00:11:48Mr. Roberts, my apologies, sir.
00:11:51Clearly, your manners are as polished as your tacky jewelry.
00:11:57If you would be so kind as to come with me.
00:11:59I'm sorry, Eric was it?
00:12:01You can call me Mr. Roberts.
00:12:05Kaleidoscope Entertainment, CEO.
00:12:08Show some respect, nitwit.
00:12:11This is Kaleidoscope.
00:12:13They can fly global 20 times over.
00:12:20Miss Miller.
00:12:22He's so kind as to join.
00:12:26Wait a minute.
00:12:27Hey, baby, Emma!
00:12:28Hey, do you know this guy?
00:12:32What?
00:12:33Are you jealous?
00:12:36I've long been a fan of Miss Miller's career.
00:12:39I'd like to see her succeed.
00:12:41Unlike some people.
00:12:44Let's go.
00:12:44Let's go.
00:12:53You will be hearing from my lawyers.
00:12:58You just swooped in there and snapped your fingers.
00:13:09Hey, what are husbands for?
00:13:11Oh, my God.
00:13:13You're my husband.
00:13:14And I'm your wife.
00:13:15I ruined the fashion show.
00:13:20The media is going to have a field day.
00:13:22Nathan is going to destroy me.
00:13:23They will do nothing of the sort.
00:13:26I meant what I said in there.
00:13:29I really want to see your career flourish.
00:13:32Are you real?
00:13:34Were you made in some kind of like perfect man lab?
00:13:36Trust me.
00:13:39I'm far from perfect.
00:13:42We all have our secrets.
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46It was alright.
00:13:48Emma suddenly realized that her fairytale wedding might be over unless she acted.
00:13:54Eric, there's something that you should know about me.
00:13:58Emma Miller.
00:14:00Grew up in Ohio.
00:14:02Promising modeling career until two years ago when your idiot fiance made a bad business decision.
00:14:08Bachelor's degree.
00:14:09And it's a charity.
00:14:11Even though you're broke.
00:14:13And you have a cat.
00:14:15Named Daisy.
00:14:16Okay, how did you know?
00:14:17I had my assistant run a thorough background check on you.
00:14:21You were not one of the women from the pre-approved list.
00:14:24I'm really sorry.
00:14:25You were just, you were there and you needed a wife and I was devastated.
00:14:28Emma.
00:14:29It's okay.
00:14:30I knew right away.
00:14:33And I'm glad.
00:14:34You are?
00:14:35I could never end up with somebody that my father approves of.
00:14:40Some stuffy aristocrat with no personality, poor manners, and even worse breath.
00:14:47But Emma, you are a gift.
00:14:55Sorry, it's my manager.
00:14:58It's fine.
00:15:00You can take it.
00:15:04How bad is it?
00:15:06This just in.
00:15:13Bell Om Show spiraled out of control when former model Emma Miller went full stolen identity
00:15:21and replaced Amber Lee, Global Entertainment's top model.
00:15:26Although, she did end up breaking a priceless bracelet.
00:15:33Whoops.
00:15:34She also absolutely served.
00:15:38She is in her queen era and we are here for it.
00:15:44Are you seeing this?
00:15:46Not now, babe.
00:15:46I need to think.
00:15:47Emma is blowing up.
00:15:50The media is taking her side.
00:15:52That was supposed to be my moment.
00:15:54Uh-huh.
00:15:54This is humiliating me.
00:15:57Us.
00:15:58She probably broke that bracelet on purpose.
00:16:01We can't let her get away with this.
00:16:03What do you want me to do?
00:16:04That night, Eric brought Emma to the honeymoon suite of the most lavish hotel in the city.
00:16:11This room is incredible.
00:16:13It's bigger than my last apartment.
00:16:15Well, I hope you don't mind the honeymoon suite.
00:16:18My father has people watching my every move, so I need to make the marriage look legit.
00:16:23So you can be the CEO of Kaleidoscope?
00:16:25That's right.
00:16:26It is all my father talks about.
00:16:29You know, frankly, I don't have any interest in the family business.
00:16:36Okay, well, I say if you don't love it, then don't do it.
00:16:39Is that right?
00:16:40Weren't you the one that was about to marry their cheating fiancé before I showed up?
00:16:48I'm sorry, that came out wrong.
00:16:50No, you're right.
00:16:52I love Nathan despite the way you treated me, and in return, he...
00:16:58Oh, my God, I'm such an idiot.
00:16:59No, no, no, no, you...
00:17:01You are not an idiot.
00:17:04You're incredible.
00:17:06You're gorgeous.
00:17:08Brave.
00:17:09Maybe a little impulsive.
00:17:11He is a fool for letting you go.
00:17:16I would never let something like that happen.
00:17:20I'm going to go take a shower.
00:17:32A very cold shower.
00:17:34I'm going to go take a shower.
00:17:34Wait, uh...
00:17:42Just wait a second.
00:17:44What?
00:17:44What's wrong?
00:17:45Are you okay?
00:17:46No, this is great.
00:17:47I mean, this is crazy hot, and you're perfect.
00:17:50It's just...
00:17:52It's okay, you can tell me.
00:17:54Is it my breath?
00:17:55No.
00:17:55Um...
00:17:56I'm...
00:17:58I've never...
00:18:01This would be your first time.
00:18:06Oh.
00:18:07Wow.
00:18:08You're a famous model.
00:18:10You have a fiancé.
00:18:11I just assumed that...
00:18:12Nathan's the only man I've ever been in a serious relationship with.
00:18:16And he was the one who said that he always wanted to wait until marriage, and I always thought it was a religious thing, but...
00:18:22Turns out he wasn't waiting.
00:18:24He just...
00:18:25Didn't want to be with me.
00:18:27That guy...
00:18:28Is an idiot.
00:18:31And you have nothing that you need to worry about.
00:18:34I mean, I want to.
00:18:35I mean, believe me, I do.
00:18:36It's just that all this is happening so fast.
00:18:39I mean, God, I don't even know your middle name.
00:18:42It's okay.
00:18:42I am in no rush.
00:18:47We have all the time in the world.
00:18:53It's Tucker.
00:18:55By the way.
00:18:57Hmm.
00:18:58Eric Tucker Roberts.
00:19:00I know.
00:19:01I know.
00:19:02It's a family name.
00:19:04Emma and Eric spent the whole night talking, kissing, and getting closer.
00:19:09The whole thing felt like a dream.
00:19:12Eric?
00:19:26Eric?
00:19:26Eric?
00:19:38Sorry, I didn't want to wake you, but I thought that you might be hungry.
00:19:42Oh, I have your espresso.
00:19:53It's Nathan.
00:19:54Surprised it took him this long.
00:19:57Should I answer?
00:19:58I've got a few words for that guy.
00:20:00Okay, thanks, but I can't have you fighting all my battles for me.
00:20:05Suit yourself.
00:20:08What do you want?
00:20:09Emma!
00:20:10So good to hear your voice, babe.
00:20:12Wish I could say the same.
00:20:14Where the hell are you?
00:20:15You disappeared after the whole Bellarm fiasco.
00:20:17You mean after you threw me under the bus and tried to ruin my career?
00:20:21Listen, babe.
00:20:26I swear.
00:20:28You know that now?
00:20:30Everything's a mess.
00:20:32I'm sorry.
00:20:34I just want a chance to make things right.
00:20:36Please, Emma.
00:20:37I have to see you.
00:20:38You're still my fiancee after all.
00:20:41Yeah, about that.
00:20:43What's that supposed to mean?
00:20:45It means that we should discuss some things.
00:20:48I mean, okay.
00:20:52Let's meet up and talk.
00:20:54And we go out to a nice dinner.
00:20:56Just like old times.
00:20:57What do you say?
00:21:03Fine, I'll see you tonight.
00:21:05Thank you for coming.
00:21:07I hope you're hungry.
00:21:10Chef, he's been cooking up a storm.
00:21:13You hired a private chef?
00:21:15Best in the city.
00:21:16He comes highly recommended.
00:21:17Only the best for you, my love.
00:21:19Wow.
00:21:23I'm having the chef prepare your favorite.
00:21:24Don't you worry.
00:21:26May I?
00:21:28So, where's Amber?
00:21:30I thought she'd be staying here.
00:21:32They are keeping her overnight in the hospital for observation.
00:21:34Really?
00:21:36Gosh, I hope she pulls through.
00:21:38What's her diagnosis?
00:21:40I think she has a growth of some kind.
00:21:42Yeah, definitely some kind of growth.
00:21:45You know, I have a feeling that she'll get better in nine months.
00:21:52Listen, babe.
00:21:55Sorry I pushed the wedding.
00:21:57I got so caught up in work, I lost sight of what's important.
00:22:01Really?
00:22:03Amber got in my head, but you're my priority.
00:22:06Your steak, sir.
00:22:11Steak?
00:22:12Sure. Your favorite.
00:22:14Five years, Nathan.
00:22:16We were together for five years.
00:22:19And?
00:22:20I'm a vegetarian.
00:22:22Are you sure?
00:22:24And for the lovely lady, spaghetti pomodoro.
00:22:28That's not right. She ordered a steak.
00:22:29No, this is my favorite meal.
00:22:32How did you know?
00:22:34Courtesy of Mr. Roberts.
00:22:36He'd like to pay for tonight's dinner and sends his congratulations on your wedding.
00:22:42I guess that's the least he could do.
00:22:44Well, it was a little early.
00:22:46I'm not even married yet.
00:22:48He's talking about our wedding.
00:22:50It was a mistake coming here.
00:22:52Emma, wait, wait!
00:22:56My life is a wreck.
00:22:58Global entertainment is going up in flames.
00:23:00How is that my problem?
00:23:01You dug your own grave.
00:23:02Please!
00:23:04I need you to put out a statement saying the whole Dohan thing was your idea.
00:23:08That you broke the bracelet to get attention.
00:23:10Absolutely not!
00:23:12God, I am so sick of taking the blame for your mistakes!
00:23:15You have manipulated me enough.
00:23:18Goodbye, Nathan.
00:23:21Blah, blah, blah.
00:23:22I don't want to hear that.
00:23:23No!
00:23:25I'm going to have to call you back.
00:23:30Here.
00:23:35Oh God, what is that?
00:23:37Irish coffee.
00:23:38Without the coffee.
00:23:40What happened?
00:23:41Nathan.
00:23:42Just when I thought that he couldn't sink any lower.
00:23:45I never liked that guy.
00:23:47So what's the plan?
00:23:49Well, Nathan wants me to put out a statement about what really happened at the Bell Am show, so...
00:23:55That's exactly what we're going to do.
00:23:57Stop the presses.
00:23:59We have just received a jaw-dropping statement from Emma Miller's manager claiming that global entertainment forced Emma to stand in for Amber Lee on numerous times.
00:24:11occasions.
00:24:13Then, digitally editing the pictures to make it look like Amber did all the work.
00:24:20Shameless!
00:24:21Emma, you are a clever woman.
00:24:24They also claim that Nathan Davis of Global Entertainment has been having an affair with Amber cheating on his Beyonce, Emma.
00:24:34Emma.
00:24:35Boom.
00:24:40Babe, calm down.
00:24:42Useless!
00:24:43I...
00:24:44I've had it!
00:24:45Nathan!
00:24:47What else do you...
00:24:48I just...
00:24:49I tried to convince Emma, but I can't control her.
00:24:51What else do you want from me?
00:24:56Nothing.
00:24:58I'm tired of watching you fail.
00:25:03It's my turn now.
00:25:07That night, when Emma returned to the honeymoon suite, she was stunned to find a gorgeous array of flowers from Eric.
00:25:15But little did Emma know, her luck was about to run out.
00:25:19Hello, Emma.
00:25:20Oh, God.
00:25:21Amber, how did you get in here?
00:25:22Oh, this little game has gone on far too long.
00:25:23I'm here to discuss the details of your unconditional surrender.
00:25:24I already told Nathan I'm not going to take the blame for the mess that you two caused.
00:25:25Yes, you are.
00:25:26You will go on live television to admit that you lied about everything.
00:25:28That you took my place and broke that bracelet on purpose...
00:25:35All in a desperate attempt...
00:25:37To kickstart your life.
00:25:42And that you took my place and broke that bracelet on purpose.
00:25:44All in a desperate attempt...
00:25:47That you took my place and broke that bracelet on purpose, all in a desperate attempt to kickstart your failing career.
00:25:58And if I refuse?
00:26:00Global Enterprise will sue you and your little manager for breach of contract.
00:26:08But you can't do that. Lisa didn't even do anything wrong.
00:26:12She didn't? Because you both worked for Global and you leaked confidential information.
00:26:20And if that doesn't work, then we'll go for slander. Point being, I'll win.
00:26:27Why? Why are you doing this to me? Isn't it enough that you took my fiancé?
00:26:33I guess I just like to take out the trash.
00:26:37You're sick. You know, you two really deserve each other.
00:26:41Aw, you're just upset that you can't keep a man happy. You're pathetic.
00:26:49That's why Nathan chose me to carry his child.
00:26:53And Eric will get bored of you within a few days.
00:26:57And kick you to the curb, too. My garbage.
00:27:00Well, this was fun. I will see you at the press conference.
00:27:04That night, Emma went to her friend Lisa for comfort. Too embarrassed and heartbroken to see Eric.
00:27:14You know I'll stand by you no matter what. You don't have to do this.
00:27:18Yes, I do. I can't have them ruin your career, too.
00:27:26Eric again?
00:27:28He wants to know where I went.
00:27:30Why don't you just talk to him? I'm sure he could help.
00:27:34I can't. I can't let him see me like this.
00:27:38I was right. I'm pathetic.
00:27:42And I can't keep expecting him to fight all my battles for him.
00:27:46You know what? You look a mess. Why don't you go get cleaned up and I will make you drink.
00:27:52Hey, listen. We don't know each other, but we both care about Emma. And well...
00:28:10She needs you.
00:28:12You don't have money for this being.
00:28:14You showed up!
00:28:16Ha!
00:28:17Oh, how the mighty tables have crumbled.
00:28:19What does that even mean?
00:28:21It means you were...
00:28:23No, I'm the one.
00:28:25Don't hurt yourself, darling.
00:28:29Well, go ahead, gloat.
00:28:32You know I would, but I'm feeling a little tired.
00:28:36Being pregnant can be such hard work.
00:28:39Not that you would know.
00:28:42Okay, so how are we gonna do this?
00:28:45I'm gonna need you to stick to the script.
00:28:48Word for word.
00:28:51Fine.
00:28:53Whatever, let's do this.
00:28:55Right this way, yes, sweetie.
00:28:57Emma bravely took the stage, ready to lie and publicly admit wrongdoing in order to save her friend, Lisa.
00:29:05Hello. My name is Emma Miller. I'm here to admit that...
00:29:11Stop!
00:29:12Emma's heart skipped a beat when she saw her husband, Eric, in the crowd.
00:29:24You don't need to do this, Emma.
00:29:26Yes, you do.
00:29:28It means the world to me that you're here, Eric.
00:29:32But this is my battle.
00:29:34I take full responsibility for the Bellown fiasco.
00:29:48It was my idea and mine alone to impersonate Amber and steal the spotlight.
00:29:54I'm truly sorry.
00:29:58Just to be clear, none of this was my, uh, global entertainment's fault.
00:30:04It was all Emma.
00:30:06Well, now I'll take any questions.
00:30:08Right here.
00:30:09Miss Miller.
00:30:10Miss Miller.
00:30:11Right here.
00:30:12Miss Miller.
00:30:13Right here.
00:30:14Miss Miller.
00:30:15How about, uh, how about you?
00:30:16Is it true that you and billionaire playboy Eric Roberts are an item?
00:30:19Next question.
00:30:20Is it... stop.
00:30:21Stop.
00:30:22Next question.
00:30:23Stop.
00:30:24Stop.
00:30:25Does anyone have a good question?
00:30:26Yeah, right, right, right.
00:30:28I'm getting reports that you and Mr. Roberts have been pulled up in a honeymoon suite for
00:30:36days.
00:30:37And this is all in response to your fiance Nathan's infidelity.
00:30:42Care to comment?
00:30:44I, um...
00:30:46Okay, no, no, no, no.
00:30:49Stop it.
00:30:50Stop asking questions about Emma's love life.
00:30:53She sabotaged me, you idiots.
00:30:56How are you not seeing this?
00:30:59She's the villain.
00:31:01This, this is about me, okay?
00:31:03I am the star and I am...
00:31:05Oh, watch out!
00:31:08What will happen to Amber and her unborn child?
00:31:11Will Emma come out on top or will Nathan continue to torture her?
00:31:15Can Emma and Eric find happiness?
00:31:20Emma entered the hospital, escorted only by Nathan's assistant.
00:31:24She would have to face Amber without the support of her own team.
00:31:28Gary, Amber's assistant, was guarding the door.
00:31:31So you're here to apologize, he said, looking her up and down with a sneer.
00:31:36You'll just have to wait.
00:31:38Amber's resting.
00:31:39Emma looked Gary straight in the eyes.
00:31:42With a deceptively calm voice, she said,
00:31:45How dare you talk to me like that?
00:31:48Before he could respond, Amber called out from the room.
00:31:52Is that Emma?
00:31:53Come in, Emma!
00:31:54Amber was annoyed with Gary.
00:31:56Right now was not the time to be rude to her.
00:31:59And she still had the power of her family behind her,
00:32:02even if they no longer paid as much attention to her as they had when she was famous.
00:32:07Emma held her head high and walked into the room,
00:32:10not sparing another glance for Gary.
00:32:13Amber, how are you?
00:32:15Nathan told me we're going to film a live broadcast.
00:32:18Isn't that exciting, Emma?
00:32:19I'm so happy to help you show the world how sorry you are.
00:32:23Emma hesitated for a moment.
00:32:25She honestly couldn't believe how shameless Amber was.
00:32:28She was almost as bad as Nathan.
00:32:31They all knew he had asked Emma to fill in at the Bellamy show,
00:32:35but they were all still trying to pretend that it had been Emma's idea.
00:32:40We already prepared this scene, Gary said.
00:32:43In just a moment, the doctor will come in to change Amber's bandages.
00:32:46You'll have the opportunity to show how sorry you are by helping Amber wash her feet.
00:32:52That's enough, Emma snapped.
00:32:54We all know what really happened.
00:32:56Don't you think it's time we stopped pretending you're innocent?
00:32:59Emma, what are you talking about?
00:33:02I don't understand, said Amber, opening her eyes wide.
00:33:07I can't believe my ears.
00:33:09If it wasn't for Nathan, I wouldn't put up with this.
00:33:12You know all this is your doing.
00:33:15Emma, it's bad enough you won't apologize to me.
00:33:19Do you have to be mean to me when I've done nothing wrong?
00:33:22Amber really was a good actor,
00:33:25even managing to look hurt as she maintained her innocence.
00:33:29Apologize to you?
00:33:31I'm never going to apologize to you.
00:33:34I have nothing to apologize for, Emma said.
00:33:37Unfortunately, she didn't realize that Gary was recording the whole scene.
00:33:42He immediately posted the video online with an attention-grabbing tagline.
00:33:47Attention-seeking disgraced model declares, I'm never going to apologize to you.
00:33:52In an instant, the wave of hate rose again, ready to come crashing down on Emma.
00:33:59Gary kept recording as Emma left the room.
00:34:02This time, Emma really has gone too far.
00:34:05Amber summoned up tears for the camera.
00:34:08Not only did she refuse to apologize, she even had the nerve to say it was all my fault.
00:34:15And that was when the war between the models really sparked off.
00:34:20Global quickly released a statement, apologizing to the public and implying that they intended to release Emma from their contract with her.
00:34:28No one would have believed that Emma's career could possibly recover from that last devastating blow.
00:34:35But, just as it seemed that things could never get better, a collection of photos surfaced online, with the caption,
00:34:43No apology necessary. Emma was wronged.
00:34:47The photos showed Amber and Nathan embracing and kissing passionately in Amber's hospital bed, with Amber wearing a skimpy hospital gown.
00:34:55The text posted with the photos exposed the whole story of Amber and Nathan cheating on Emma for months and manipulating her into filling in for Amber.
00:35:05And just like that, the truth was out.
00:35:09Amber and Nathan's intimate photos spread everywhere, along with the truth that Emma had acted honorably all along.
00:35:17Public opinion swung back 180 again.
00:35:21Emma, who had given up her career for love, had never once tried to make excuses for herself.
00:35:27She was so noble that she'd even taken full responsibility for the Bellamy incident.
00:35:33The tables had turned once again, but Amber did not know it yet.
00:35:39She was in her hospital room, in the middle of yet another interview.
00:35:43Just as she was saying how she actually felt sorry for Emma, the reporter's phone dinged.
00:35:49Miss Lee, she said, how do you explain these photos?
00:35:53Amber's face turned pale.
00:35:55What are those?
00:35:57She asked.
00:35:58These appear to be intimate photos of you and Nathan Davis.
00:36:01Do you want me to go into more detail about what you're doing in the photos?
00:36:05Amber froze.
00:36:07A moment ago, she had everyone's sympathy.
00:36:10Now, everyone knew she had seduced someone else's fiancé.
00:36:14Her mind went blank.
00:36:16How could she possibly get out of this situation?
00:36:19No!
00:36:20It's all fake!
00:36:21This must be part of Emma's plan!
00:36:23Don't film me anymore!
00:36:24Just get out!
00:36:25Go!
00:36:26Miss Lee, the reporter said.
00:36:28Just when I thought I'd seen everything in the entertainment industry, you've still managed to shock me.
00:36:34I'm gonna tell you this.
00:36:35There is still some justice in the world.
00:36:38I'm never going to write another negative word about Emma Miller.
00:36:42Amber began trembling.
00:36:44As soon as the reporters left, she called Nathan.
00:36:47Nathan, have you seen the photos?
00:36:49What should we do?
00:36:50It's just some photos.
00:36:52Don't panic.
00:36:53I'm working on a solution.
00:36:54He responded calmly.
00:36:56But inside, he wasn't calm at all.
00:36:59Not only was Amber's future at risk, the whole of Global was in trouble as well.
00:37:05And perhaps worst of all, he realized, he could lose Emma forever.
00:37:09Emma must be behind all this!
00:37:12Amber said shrilly.
00:37:14Well, maybe if you'd been nicer to her, this wouldn't have happened.
00:37:18Nathan answered angrily and hung up.
00:37:20He tried to call Emma right away, but her phone kept ringing out to voicemail.
00:37:25Emma was holding her phone and watching it ring.
00:37:28She was imagining how anxious Nathan must be, and she decided to let him stew a little longer.
00:37:34Emma, I'm outside the back entrance.
00:37:37She hadn't let Eric's call go to voicemail.
00:37:40The second she heard his deep voice, all her uneasiness fled.
00:37:45As she got in the car, her phone continued to ring and ring.
00:37:49But she ignored it and threw it into the back seat.
00:37:52You're not going to pick up?
00:37:54Eric asked, turning his handsome face to her.
00:37:57You already know the answer, Emma smirked.
00:38:00She planned to make Nathan look for her all night long.
00:38:04Eric stopped talking and focused on the road.
00:38:07Meanwhile, Emma focused on the birthmark on his earlobe.
00:38:11It made him look like he was born with an earring, giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.
00:38:17Why are you looking at me like that?
00:38:19He asked.
00:38:20Is there dirt on my face?
00:38:22Emma reached out for Eric's arm.
00:38:24Before we go to our new home, could you come with me somewhere?
00:38:28Of course, but after that, are you interested in finishing what we started last night?
00:38:34Eric's tone was casual, but Emma couldn't hide her nervousness.
00:38:39She wasn't sure she felt as confident as she had the previous night.
00:38:43Eric didn't pressure her, though.
00:38:45He just continued to drive and enjoy the touch of her hand on his arm.
00:38:50At Emma's request, they headed to a park known for its beautiful cherry blossom trees and wonderful restaurant.
00:38:56Emma and Nathan had met at the park frequently, or at least had often made plans to meet there.
00:39:03Finally answering Nathan's call, she said,
00:39:05I'm heading to the cherry blossom park.
00:39:07Meet me under our favorite tree as soon as you can.
00:39:10I'm on my way, Nathan said immediately.
00:39:13Even though he was having an affair with Amber, he had never intended to stop seeing Emma.
00:39:20Where would he find another woman who was so easy to manipulate?
00:39:24He appreciated her loyalty, her family background, and her easygoing nature.
00:39:29He would be foolish to let her go.
00:39:32Emma hung up and looked at Eric.
00:39:34I have no love left for Nathan, she said.
00:39:37Without a word, he patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Emma to sit.
00:39:42The two of them looked out the window at the scenery below.
00:39:45Not long after, an anxious figure appeared beneath her favorite cherry blossom tree.
00:39:50Nathan had arrived.
00:39:52She had stood under that tree so many times, naively waiting all day for him to show up.
00:39:59Most of the time, she had waited in vain.
00:40:02She couldn't believe how badly she let him treat her.
00:40:05He had stood her up, toyed with her, and then betrayed her.
00:40:10But now, it was his turn to suffer.
00:40:13Will this make you feel better?
00:40:15Eric asked as the two of them continued to look at the sad figure below.
00:40:20It's a start.
00:40:21I want him to experience everything he made me go through.
00:40:25The big things and the small ones.
00:40:28With long, powerful fingers, Eric reached for Emma's chin.
00:40:32Turning her face to his, he saw a woman who was delicate on the outside, but had an inner core of steel.
00:40:39I ordered foie gras, she said.
00:40:42The waiter said it was quite good.
00:40:44Eric released her from his grasp and let out a surprise smile.
00:40:48How did you know that I liked that?
00:40:50I have my ways, she said.
00:40:53Emma gestured for the waiter to start serving.
00:40:55Let's eat while we chat.
00:40:57Nathan remained standing along under the tree while Emma and Eric enjoyed their meal and their glances.
00:41:04She might look unassuming, but she isn't weak, he thought.
00:41:09Time passed quickly for the couple as Nathan continued to wait outside.
00:41:13He kept calling Emma, but she had turned her phone off.
00:41:17Finally, the two finished their meal.
00:41:20Eric took a last glance down at Nathan and asked,
00:41:23Do you want to continue watching him wait?
00:41:25No, I want you to help me move into your house.
00:41:29Eric paid the bill, escorted Emma out through the side door, and drove her to her home.
00:41:35She'd asked for five minutes alone in the house to remove all traces of her relationship with Nathan.
00:41:41To be honest, there wasn't much.
00:41:43Nathan had never left any of his belongings there.
00:41:46While she packed, Eric looked around.
00:41:49He found a huge photo in the living room of Emma receiving a modeling trophy.
00:41:53If she hadn't retreated from the industry, he thought, she would have been an international superstar by now.
00:42:00A few minutes later, she emerged from her bedroom with a teddy bear and a small bag.
00:42:05I'm ready.
00:42:07You don't want anything else?
00:42:09No, let's leave the memories behind.
00:42:12Eric took the bag and the teddy bear and placed them on the sofa.
00:42:15He said,
00:42:16Let's leave the rest for when we get home.
00:42:19But for now, has my kiss helped you to make some better final memories here?
00:42:24Back at the park, Nathan waited for four hours.
00:42:28He had planned to stay all night if that's what it took, but then Amber called.
00:42:34Nathan, where are you?
00:42:35I'm waiting outside your house.
00:42:36I need you.
00:42:37Why are those photos of us still all over the web?
00:42:40I'm going to be destroyed.
00:42:42Nathan rushed home.
00:42:44Seeing Amber standing pitifully on one foot outside his door, he couldn't help but run to her.
00:42:50I won't let you be destroyed, and I won't let Global be destroyed.
00:42:54Nathan, you're all I have.
00:42:57Don't leave me and the baby.
00:42:59Nathan tried his best to comfort and reassure her.
00:43:02That night, he ordered his staff to release a statement saying that the pictures of the two of them that had been posted earlier in the day were misleading.
00:43:11The truth, so the statement said, was that Amber had been standing on one foot due to her injury and had lost her balance.
00:43:19She had fallen into Nathan's arms, and they had landed on the bed together.
00:43:24After Global's PR team released their statement, Nathan paid a few social influencers to post glowing reviews of his company and of Amber.
00:43:34Over the next three days, he contacted everyone he could think of to clean up Amber's image and to cast blame on Emma.
00:43:42He could only hope that the public would soon forget his latest scandal and Amber would be able to return to work.
00:43:49His goal was to position Amber to win the top 10 model award and then announce she would be leaving the country to study.
00:43:56She could have her child away from the prying eyes of the public.
00:44:00Nathan really was infatuated with Amber, so he was willing to go to great lengths to make this plan work.
00:44:07And once she was acknowledged as a top model, she would be very profitable for global entertainment.
00:44:14Emma's manager read through the latest global press release with a shake of her head.
00:44:18She'd come over to Emma's apartment to plan their next move, but was surprised to find that Emma wasn't home.
00:44:25Feeling confused, she called Emma.
00:44:28Where are you?
00:44:30Emma had just started filling the tub at Eric's house.
00:44:33She laughed and said,
00:44:35I haven't had the chance to tell you.
00:44:37I moved.
00:44:38Where did you move to?
00:44:40Does Nathan know?
00:44:41Emma turned around and looked at Eric, who had just entered the bathroom.
00:44:45Not realizing she was on the phone, he said in that deep voice of his,
00:44:50Is it bath time yet?
00:44:52On the other side of the line, Lisa heard the voice and asked in disbelief.
00:44:57Who are you with?
00:44:58Are you safe?
00:44:59Is someone taking advantage of your situation?
00:45:02Beginning to sound frantic, she said,
00:45:04You don't need to rely on some strange man to take care of you.
00:45:08Tell me where you are and I'll come get you right now.
00:45:10Emma didn't know what to say.
00:45:12She put her phone on mute and said,
00:45:14My manager seems to think I need help.
00:45:17I'd like to talk with her in person and explain what's going on.
00:45:21Do you trust her completely?
00:45:23Eric had already found out quite a lot about Lisa.
00:45:27He knew that she was passionate and loyal, but scatterbrained at times.
00:45:31Of course.
00:45:32Then let me send someone to pick her up and bring her here.
00:45:36Emma thought about it carefully and then told Lisa she would send a car for her.
00:45:41Lisa paced back and forth while she waited.
00:45:44What on earth was going on?
00:45:46Had Emma willingly gone off with some other man?
00:45:49Was it someone in the entertainment industry?
00:45:52Didn't she know how dangerous that was?
00:45:55They all wanted the same thing.
00:45:57One night of fun to be forgotten about the next day.
00:46:00Lisa was fuming by the time Luke, Eric's assistant, arrived.
00:46:05Please get in the car.
00:46:06I'm here to take you to see Emma.
00:46:08If anything has happened to Emma,
00:46:10I will do some serious physical harm to you and your boss, she threatened.
00:46:14Let's not talk about who's going to hurt who.
00:46:17Just get in the car.
00:46:19Lisa glared at Luke as she got in the car and kept glaring throughout the ride,
00:46:24keeping up a steady stream of threats about what would happen if even one hair on Emma's head had been harmed.
00:46:31But as the car approached one of the most expensive streets in Tribeca, Lisa grew silent in shock.
00:46:38Just who the hell is your boss? She said weakly.
00:46:43You'll find out once you get inside, he replied in an annoyed tone.
00:46:48He could have a bit of a temper too.
00:46:50Lisa started to worry.
00:46:52She'd have to be very careful.
00:46:54Whoever lived there probably had a lot of power to go along with their money.
00:46:58Luke escorted Lisa out of the car and led her into the building.
00:47:02She remained quiet as the elevator opened up to a palatial living room where Emma was waiting on the sofa.
00:47:09Even without any makeup, she was stunning.
00:47:12As was the view of Manhattan out the window behind her.
00:47:15Emma, what's going on?
00:47:17You don't really live here, do you?
00:47:19Lisa, there's something I need to tell you.
00:47:22But I don't want you to be upset.
00:47:24Emma motioned Lisa to sit on the sofa next to her.
00:47:27Tell me, do you have a new boyfriend?
00:47:30No.
00:47:31Emma shook her head, holding back a smile.
00:47:34I'm married.
00:47:35After a long pause, Lisa burst out.
00:47:39What did you say?
00:47:40You're married?
00:47:41Who are you married to?
00:47:42What are you talking about?
00:47:44Interrupting her barrage of questions, Eric came into the room.
00:47:49Hello, Lisa, he said.
00:47:51To her surprise, he walked over to Emma, leaned over affectionately,
00:47:55and whispered gently into her ear.
00:47:57I know, she responded.
00:47:59I'll only be about a half an hour.
00:48:01See you later, Lisa, he said, and headed back out of the room.
00:48:04Lisa froze in disbelief.
00:48:07Emma, pinch me.
00:48:08I want to know if I'm dreaming.
00:48:10Are you married to Eric Roberts, the CEO of Kaleidoscope?
00:48:14Um, yeah.
00:48:16For real?
00:48:17Yes, you're not hallucinating.
00:48:20It's really him.
00:48:21My new husband, Emma said.
00:48:23Lisa's mood changed from distress to excitement.
00:48:27Emma, this is such a great surprise.
00:48:30I can't believe it.
00:48:31I'm cured.
00:48:32You're cured?
00:48:33Yes, I'm cured of my hatred for your mystery, man.
00:48:36You totally made the right decision.
00:48:38If you're going to get married to someone,
00:48:40it shouldn't be to that piece of trash, Nathan.
00:48:43Ooh, when he finds out?
00:48:45God, that'll be so satisfying.
00:48:48I'm not planning to announce my relationship with Eric just yet.
00:48:52Emma explained calmly and confidently.
00:48:55With his help, I know my career could advance by leaps and bounds.
00:48:59But I don't want anyone to say that my success is due to being his wife.
00:49:04Three years ago, I became a top model in New York through my own hard work.
00:49:09I'm confident I can do it again.
00:49:11If you're still willing to help me, then let's do this together.
00:49:15But if you want to move on, I won't pressure you.
00:49:18I'll even help you find another position at a better company.
00:49:21Of course, I'll stand by your side.
00:49:24I want to become the manager of the next international supermodel.
00:49:28Lisa replied enthusiastically.
00:49:30But are you planning to stay at Global Entertainment?
00:49:33What do you think?
00:49:35Emma gave Lisa a look, letting her figure out the answer herself.
00:49:39Nathan has used me over and over, and I plan to make him pay.
00:49:44Lisa burst out laughing as she leaned into Emma.
00:49:48Emma, I never knew you could be so sneaky.
00:49:51So what's the next move?
00:49:53Should we release the video?
00:49:55No, let's secure the spokesperson deal first.
00:49:58To be precise, let's take what should have been mine right out of Amber's hands.
00:50:03Afterwards, when Amber's fans are complaining, then we'll release the video.
00:50:08In the meantime, can you help edit the clips from the Bellamy show and post them online?
00:50:13Of course, leave it to me!
00:50:15Lisa was impressed with the changes she was seeing in Emma.
00:50:19Who knew she could be this powerful?
00:50:21The next morning, the war between the two models was already old news,
00:50:26and the rumors about Nathan and Amber had been buried under Global's newest press releases.
00:50:31Interestingly, Emma's straightforward response to the media had an unexpected benefit.
00:50:37She gained a huge number of new fans, who were now searching online for her old appearances and photos.
00:50:44Amber and Nathan had failed to notice that Emma's popularity was on the rise.
00:50:49Her performance with the Crown star during the Bellamy show had been spectacular.
00:50:55Her new fans felt that she should get the recognition she deserved, so they shared her videos online and bombarded Bellamy with fan mail.
00:51:04Based on the fans' reactions, Bellamy's founder, Julius Taylor, began watching the videos of Emma's performance.
00:51:11He was amazed by her beauty and suddenly realized that the model he'd been so angry with was the perfect match for his jewelry.
00:51:21It was like they were made for each other.
00:51:24Now that he had the time to calm down, he realized that Emma's elegance and professionalism were infinitely better for representing the Crown star than Amber had ever been.
00:51:36Ironically, because Emma had admitted wrongdoing, Julius even felt he could now trust her.
00:51:43He called a meeting at Bellamy to discuss changing the spokesperson.
00:51:47After watching the videos, the group reached the only possible conclusion.
00:51:52Emma had to be the next spokesperson.
00:51:55Julius called the head of Global Entertainment.
00:51:58Mr. Taylor, Nathan said as he answered the phone.
00:52:01Amber has almost completely recovered from her injuries and should be able to represent your company very soon.
00:52:08I'm not calling about that, Mr. Davis.
00:52:10Bellamy has decided to change spokespersons.
00:52:13We would like Emma to step in for Amber, he said.
00:52:16Nathan didn't know how to react.
00:52:19Mr. Taylor, I don't think that's right.
00:52:22We haven't signed the contract yet.
00:52:24If you're not willing to have Emma serve as the spokesperson, we would prefer to cancel this collaboration and work with another company.
00:52:31But we have other models, ones that are more famous than Amber.
00:52:35We only want Emma.
00:52:37Taylor had made up his mind, leaving Nathan with no choice.
00:52:41This deal was supposed to have cleared Amber's path to the Top 10 Model Award.
00:52:46Telling her she was no longer the spokesperson was going to be tricky.
00:52:50The news quickly spread to Lisa, who called Emma right away.
00:52:54Emma!
00:52:55Emma!
00:52:56You got the deal!
00:52:57She yelled over the phone.
00:52:59Don't get ahead of yourself, Lisa.
00:53:01Amber isn't going to just let this deal slip away.
00:53:04News of Bellamy's request to change spokespersons quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry.
00:53:10Eric heard the news and realized that Emma had successfully taken back her position from Amber.
00:53:16It would barely have registered on the radar as an impressive contract for any of his models.
00:53:22But he knew it was a huge deal for Emma.
00:53:25He called her immediately.
00:53:27You did well.
00:53:28I'm very impressed.
00:53:30She laughed and responded.
00:53:32Getting that compliment from you makes me happier than anything else.
00:53:37I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do next, he said.
00:53:41She simply responded.
00:53:43So am I.
00:53:44But for now, she needed to return to Global and face Amber.
00:53:49Amber was fast asleep at Nathan's home, not yet aware of Bellamy's decision.
00:53:54She'd headed straight to his place from the hospital and demanded his undivided attention all night, refusing to let him call Emma.
00:54:03She was determined not to lose anything that was hers, and especially not to Emma, who always seemed to be waiting just around the corner.
00:54:11She was awoken by her assistant banging on the door.
00:54:15Finally, she reluctantly rolled out of the comfortable bed, pulled a dressing gown around her, and opened the door just a crack.
00:54:23Gary was impatient and flustered.
00:54:25Without speaking, he shoved the door further open with his elbow and held out his phone to show her the screen, already open to the entertainment news.
00:54:34Her first reaction was disbelief.
00:54:37What the hell is this?
00:54:39Bellamy already chose me.
00:54:41They can't go back on it now.
00:54:43Amber, this has already happened.
00:54:46Bellamy called Nathan and personally told him to make Emma the spokesperson, or they would find another company.
00:54:52Gary jabbed his finger at the phone.
00:54:55What did Emma do?
00:54:56How did she make this happen?
00:54:58We're going to Global to talk to Nathan in person, Amber said.
00:55:02She knew that if she just called him, he would say he was too busy to talk to her.
00:55:07Her best option was just to go down to the office and force him to deal with her, face to face.
00:55:12Nathan was sitting in his office, feeling wrung out.
00:55:17Bellamy were adamant about signing Emma instead of Amber, and he couldn't lose the deal, but he knew how upset Amber would be.
00:55:25While he was still trying to figure out what he could say to Amber, she showed up at his office in the wheelchair the hospital had provided for her recovery.
00:55:34Nathan, what's going on?
00:55:36How could my deal be going to Emma instead?
00:55:39He bent down awkwardly to hug her.
00:55:41Amber, it's beyond my control, but I promise I'll help you secure an even better deal.
00:55:48She angrily pushed him away.
00:55:50I don't want another deal.
00:55:52You know as well as I do that Julius Taylor's sister is on the judging panel for the Top 10 Model Awards.
00:55:59This deal was really important to me.
00:56:02How could you just hand it over to Emma?
00:56:04She's already stolen you from me.
00:56:06Isn't that enough?
00:56:07Why is she trying to take everything from me like this?
00:56:11If I lose this deal, I'm not going through with your plan to leave the country to have our child.
00:56:16And I won't stay a global either.
00:56:18Don't say that, Amber.
00:56:20We need to stick with what we've planned.
00:56:22You know I'm on your side.
00:56:24Why does she need this deal anyway?
00:56:27As far as she knows, she's about to marry you.
00:56:30I bet you could get her to change your mind if you really tried.
00:56:33Emma's given in to pressure easily enough in the past.
00:56:37Maybe I could convince her to give up the deal with Bellamy, Nathan thought.
00:56:42I'll speak to her.
00:56:43Don't cry, honey.
00:56:44It'll all be okay.
00:56:46Amber reached out for Nathan, sobbing.
00:56:49Just then, Emma knocked on the door.
00:56:52Amber immediately stopped crying and pulled away from Nathan with a fierce, bitter expression on her face.
00:56:58Emma, where were you?
00:57:00Don't you know I was looking for you all night?
00:57:03He asked.
00:57:04Emma glanced at him and then at Amber as Nathan continued.
00:57:07It was all just a misunderstanding between Amber and me, and I've already released a statement to clear it up.
00:57:13You don't need to make such a fuss.
00:57:15Emma knew very well what he meant by looking for her all night.
00:57:20He had obviously searched so hard, he'd ended up searching in his bed with Amber.
00:57:25Otherwise, he would have noticed that she was no longer living at her old place.
00:57:30Calmly, she met his eyes and said,
00:57:33Well, it's too bad that the problem between me and Amber isn't just a misunderstanding.
00:57:39I've helped out covering for her so many times in the past few years.
00:57:43But she turned around and stabbed me in the back the first chance she got.
00:57:48Do you both really think I'm that easy to push around?
00:57:51Emma, Amber was worried and stressed with all the media attention.
00:57:56She did the only thing she thought she could.
00:57:58Emma raised her eyebrows skeptically, but Nathan didn't notice and carried on.
00:58:03Look, that's not the issue right now.
00:58:06That incident is all over.
00:58:08It's water under the bridge.
00:58:10Please, let's forget about it.
00:58:12I have something else I want to talk to you about.
00:58:15I want you to turn down the spokesperson deal with Bellamy.
00:58:18Getting that deal is very important to Amber.
00:58:21You've already stepped away from the spotlight, so you don't need this kind of exposure.
00:58:26He spoke straightforwardly, as if it was already a done deal that Emma would agree.
00:58:31That contract was always meant to be mine, Amber added.
00:58:35Bellamy only suggested you because of my injuries.
00:58:38But as you can see, I'm almost recovered.
00:58:41And besides, you haven't done a show for so long.
00:58:44You probably can't even walk a runway anymore.
00:58:46You don't want to look like some stand-in, do you?
00:58:49That's a bit ironic, you asking that question of me, don't you think?
00:58:54Emma responded coldly.
00:58:56Emma, what's gotten into you?
00:58:58Nathan snapped.
00:58:59If you love me, you won't take this deal.
00:59:02Global needs Amber to win the top 10 model competition as a reputation boost.
00:59:07And the best way for her to win is by signing this deal with Bellamy.
00:59:12Amber laughed to herself.
00:59:14She was confident Emma would do anything for Nathan, even if it meant giving up such a lucrative deal.
00:59:20Nathan, quick, give Bellamy a call, she said.
00:59:23Let them know Emma's too busy planning her wedding and can't take on any new jobs.
00:59:28Nathan nodded, reaching for the phone.
00:59:30But just as he picked it up, Emma stopped him.
00:59:33You're too late.
00:59:34I've already accepted the offer.
00:59:36Emma!
00:59:37Nathan exclaimed in shock.
00:59:39She had never pushed back against any of his decisions before.
00:59:44I spoke to Mr. Taylor this morning, she continued.
00:59:47We're both really looking forward to working together.
00:59:50Emma, I'm the president of Global Entertainment.
00:59:53I make the decisions, not you.
00:59:56Nathan was furious.
00:59:58Why are you insisting on taking Amber's deal?
01:00:01You think this was my idea?
01:00:04Bellamy asked for me and said they would take their business elsewhere unless I stepped up.
01:00:09I took the deal for your sake, so Global wouldn't be left with nothing.
01:00:13You know, I hadn't believed the rumors about you and Amber.
01:00:17But if you'd rather take a loss like that than have me be the spokesperson, then maybe the two of you do have something going on after all.
01:00:25Of course not, he denied hastily.
01:00:28I can't believe you'd say such a thing.
01:00:30It's just that, since we're going to get married and start a family soon, I figured you'd rather not take on any extra professional responsibilities.
01:00:38But Emma wasn't done.
01:00:41Oh, so would you like to try explaining that to Julius Taylor?
01:00:45And what do you mean by saying that I took the deal from Amber?
01:00:49As far as I can tell, she's done all the taking.
01:00:52She's been doing it for years.
01:00:54Amber was getting angry now as well, resenting the accusations and the suggestions that she hadn't earned her own success.
01:01:02Emma, you're the one who stepped out of the limelight.
01:01:05I didn't take anything from you.
01:01:08What did you think was going to happen to your work?
01:01:10That we'd just let it go to another company?
01:01:12Fine, Emma said.
01:01:14You're right.
01:01:15If you can persuade Mr. Taylor to change his mind, I'll step down.
01:01:19Could Emma really be giving in?
01:01:22Nathan was now stuck in a difficult position.
01:01:25Emma was obviously still angry, or else she wouldn't have had the nerve to defy him like she never had before.
01:01:32And he'd promised Amber that Emma would give her back the deal.
01:01:35But ultimately, it was clear that Bellamy would take their contract somewhere else if they didn't get Emma.
01:01:42In the end, he had to protect the bottom line.
01:01:45Enough.
01:01:46Since Bellamy has requested Emma and Emma has already agreed, we're going with her.
01:01:51But Nathan, Amber whined.
01:01:54I made my decision, he snapped.
01:01:57It's time for both of you to accept it and leave.
01:02:00Emma, ask Lisa to come in when you go.
01:02:03It was clear that, even though he was left with no choice, he resented being pushed into the decision.
01:02:09Emma had a pretty good idea what Nathan was thinking, but if he expected her to feel bad about hurting his feelings, he was dreaming.
01:02:17Amber followed Emma out of the office, her anger continuing to boil up inside her.
01:02:23But she comforted herself that, even if Emma appeared to be making a comeback right now, she wasn't that popular yet.
01:02:30Amber planned to do everything she could to crush her.
01:02:34As soon as she saw her assistant, Gary, who was waiting in the lobby, she said,
01:02:38I want you to take a few photos of me working hard to recover and post them online.
01:02:43Let's stir up my fans' sympathy and get them to complain that Emma has stolen my deal.
01:02:48If I can't have it, I'm not going to let her take it.
01:02:51Don't you worry, Gary said.
01:02:53I know exactly what to do.
01:02:55Emma found Lisa waiting in her office and said,
01:02:59Nathan wants to talk to you.
01:03:00Don't be too nervous.
01:03:02Nervous?
01:03:03Are you kidding me?
01:03:04Who do you think I am?
01:03:05Lisa rolled her eyes.
01:03:07It's not my first day on the job, you know.
01:03:09If he thinks I'm just some pushover he can tear down, he's in for a shock.
01:03:14She headed into Nathan's office, a fierce expression on her face.
01:03:18She was not going to hold back.
01:03:20Nathan thrust a pile of papers in front of Lisa.
01:03:23I'm terminating your agreement with Global.
01:03:26You need to leave the premises.
01:03:27And you should make preparations to compensate us for breach of contract.
01:03:31Leave?
01:03:32Lisa laughed.
01:03:33Nathan, you must have a bad memory.
01:03:36When I first signed my contract, my salary was clearly stated alongside Emma's appearance fees.
01:03:41With all the work you've let Amber steal from her,
01:03:44I haven't once gotten paid as much as my contract stipulates.
01:03:47And the posts I made were all in Emma's best interests, ultimately benefiting the company.
01:03:53I did nothing wrong.
01:03:55If anyone should be worrying about breach of contract, it's you.
01:03:59You.
01:04:00Nathan couldn't believe his ears.
01:04:03If you aren't afraid of making Global's situation worse, we can always take this to court.
01:04:08I'm fine with that.
01:04:09But you might want to think about the rest of the industry losing trust in your brand.
01:04:14She paused to let her words sink in.
01:04:17Look, Nathan, I obviously won't be staying, but I don't want to leave on bad terms.
01:04:23Let's make this as painless as possible.
01:04:25What do you want?
01:04:27He muttered through gritted teeth.
01:04:29I'll agree to leave Global without a fuss, and you'll let all of this drop.
01:04:33You won't come after me for any kind of compensation, and from now on, we don't owe each other anything.
01:04:39He glared at her angrily, but recognized that this was the only option he had left.
01:04:45Fine.
01:04:46Just leave.
01:04:47I don't want to see you again.
01:04:49Nathan, let me give you a warning.
01:04:51There is no wall thick enough to block out what you've got coming to you.
01:04:56You'll be paying for the way you treated Emma for a very long time.
01:05:00Nathan glared at her as she walked out of the door with the now worthless paperwork he'd based his whole plan on.
01:05:06He grabbed his desk and flipped it over, scattering the contents all over the floor.
01:05:12Instead of leaving the building, Lisa went back to Emma's office, where the two of them celebrated the success of this part of the plan, and set to work plotting their next steps.
01:05:22When Nathan left his office to take a break, they ran straight into each other.
01:05:27Why are you still here?
01:05:29He asked.
01:05:30Emma froze for a moment.
01:05:32Then she replied,
01:05:33I just hired Lisa.
01:05:34Emma, what are you talking about?
01:05:36It's Global's call who will be managing you, not yours.
01:05:40She was driving him crazy.
01:05:42Oh, I didn't hire Lisa to be my manager.
01:05:45I hired her to be my assistant.
01:05:47It's in my contract that I can hire my own assistant, isn't it?
01:05:51Emma smiled sweetly.
01:05:53Lisa has looked after me so well for so long.
01:05:56She's the only person I trust to understand what I need to do a good job.
01:06:00Nathan pulled her aside, out of Lisa's earshot.
01:06:04Emma, what's wrong with you?
01:06:06Are you doing this just to spite me?
01:06:08Not everything is about you, Nathan.
01:06:11But for your information, Lisa is a lot more thoughtful than you and has never accused me of stealing anything from anybody.
01:06:19He looked at her coldly.
01:06:21Emma, you've always supported my career before.
01:06:24I don't understand what's going on.
01:06:26I told you, that whole mess with the crown star was the last time I'll ever take the blame for you or Amber.
01:06:33She remained calm, her voice steady and firm, her eyes completely emotionless.
01:06:40Nathan took a deep breath.
01:06:42If you're really going to be this childish, maybe we should call off our wedding, he hissed.
01:06:48He was sure that this tactic would make Eva apologize and regret ever trying to go up against him.
01:06:54She remained silent for a few moments, allowing him to believe that his threat was sinking in and she would cave.
01:07:01He could never have anticipated the response she was about to give.
01:07:06You don't want to get married anymore?
01:07:08Okay, we won't, Emma said with a pleasant smile.
01:07:11Let's wait until you're not busy.
01:07:13We can talk more later.
01:07:15Nathan was in shock.
01:07:17He reached out and grabbed Emma's shoulder.
01:07:20Don't you love me anymore?
01:07:22What about you?
01:07:24Do you love me?
01:07:25Emma carefully slipped out of his grasp,
01:07:27mindful of her promise to Eric not to get too close to another man.
01:07:31Nathan was stunned into silence.
01:07:34He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
01:07:37The truth was he had never had any real feelings for Emma.
01:07:41But he wasn't ready to give up his hold over her just yet.
01:07:44How can you even question my love?
01:07:47He finally said.
01:07:49Of course I want to marry you.
01:07:51I just wish you would think a little about all the stress I'm under.
01:07:54It hasn't been easy trying to get Amber into the running for the top 10 model awards.
01:07:59It's frustrating that you can't be more understanding.
01:08:03Emma slowly distanced herself from him, remaining composed.
01:08:07Well, if we're going to get married, you'll have to get used to me.
01:08:12This is who I am from now on.
01:08:14She left him standing there alone as she left the building.
01:08:18Nathan stood still for a while, trying to figure things out.
01:08:22He couldn't understand why Emma's attitude had changed so much.
01:08:26But after some thought, he decided she was just jealous of Amber.
01:08:31He didn't have the energy to chase after her and try and talk things out.
01:08:35After she cools down, she'll get over it, he thought.
01:08:39Besides, he needed to spend some time smoothing things over with Amber, who was still very upset.
01:08:46Emma put Nathan straight out of her mind and decided to hurry home to see Eric.
01:08:51The very thought of seeing him made her heart speed up in excitement.
01:08:55Emma, I'll take you home first so you can recharge, said Lisa.
01:08:59Tomorrow, we're signing the Bellamy contract and then straight off for an out-of-town commercial shoot.
01:09:04Lisa, would you be up for cancelling the lease on your apartment and moving into my old home, rent-free?
01:09:11You can go ahead and change the locks.
01:09:13If Nathan asks, you could just say that you've moved in to work more closely with me and he can't have a key anymore.
01:09:20Tomorrow, I'll sign a new contract with you.
01:09:22That works for me. It'll save me some money, if nothing else.
01:09:26After a pause, Lisa looked at Emma with a smirk.
01:09:29The mighty president of Kaleidoscope.
01:09:32How are things going there?
01:09:34Don't be so nosy, Emma replied, refusing to meet her friend's eyes.
01:09:39When Emma got to Eric's place, he wasn't back yet.
01:09:42She made her way into the kitchen and found his personal chef preparing dinner.
01:09:46Please, let me help, she said.
01:09:49There's no need. I wouldn't want to trouble you, the chef, an amicable middle-aged woman, answered.
01:09:55How about this instead, Emma suggested.
01:09:58Please, let me give you the rest of the day off and I'll cook dinner for Eric tonight.
01:10:03After some persuasion, Emma ushered the chef out of the kitchen and started her own cooking.
01:10:09Eric didn't get home until late at night.
01:10:12Not seeing Emma at first, he followed his nose to the kitchen.
01:10:16He was surprised to see her standing at the stove wearing an apron.
01:10:20After a moment, admiring her long, slender legs, he quietly approached her.
01:10:26Eric, careful, I'm cooking. Don't you want to eat?
01:10:30Mr. Eric Roberts, CEO of Kaleidoscope, can cook? Emma asked, raising her eyebrows.
01:10:37You know, this one time is okay, he said softly.
01:10:41But from now on, no more cooking for you.
01:10:44You shouldn't have to put in all this work, and it would be a tragedy if you scalded yourself.
01:10:48I'm quite capable of taking care of myself in the kitchen, she said playfully, touched by his concern.
01:10:55They continued preparing their dinner together.
01:10:58It turned out that Eric was actually quite an accomplished cook.
01:11:02When the meal was ready, they took a moment to admire the gorgeous spread they'd put together.
01:11:07It felt special, like something not just any couple could do in such perfect sync.
01:11:13As they sat down to enjoy their meal together, Emma said,
01:11:16Tomorrow, I'm headed to Seattle for a commercial shoot.
01:11:19I'm not sure how long the trip will be, but I definitely won't be home tomorrow night.
01:11:24Are you signing the contract with Bellamy tomorrow?
01:11:27Will you be leaving right after that?
01:11:29Yes, Bellamy wants to launch their new product as soon as possible, she said.
01:11:34Eric, I'll need some time, but I know that I can rise to a position that you'll be proud of.
01:11:40I'm already proud of you, but I have no doubt that you can reach the most dizzying heights of the industry, he responded, placing a morsel of food on Emma's plate.
01:11:51Not only was he looking forward to seeing her advance, he was also gleefully anticipating just how miserable Nathan and Amber would be.
01:12:00Emma and Eric, their lives now intertwined, embark on a new chapter.
01:12:06Emma's career takes flight, fueled by ambition and a newfound confidence.
01:12:11But as she ascends the corporate ladder, can she truly leave the past behind?
01:12:18Will Nathan ever truly accept Emma's independence?
01:12:22And what unforeseen challenges await this dynamic duo as they navigate the complexities of love, ambition, and the ever-shifting sands of the entertainment industry?
01:12:32Will Emma's career flourish, or will the pressures of success strain her relationship with Eric?
01:12:39How will Nathan react to Emma's growing success and her blossoming relationship with Eric?
01:12:44Hey, I'm Emma.
