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