Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Brian.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:27They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:31Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:38Well, looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:47Hey, this is a private suggestion.
00:00:49Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company?
00:00:56In just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:01:06That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:14What are you doing?
00:01:16You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:18You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible!
00:01:22What's going on?
00:01:23What's your earning attempt?
00:01:25It's failing!
00:01:26The price is holding!
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:36We met before.
00:01:38They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on.
00:01:41Tell me.
00:01:42How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:54Jason?
00:01:55Get me her five now.
00:01:57Mr. Yates?
00:01:58What?
00:01:59Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:00You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:03No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:08Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of The Lewis Group.
00:02:13Oh, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations are not going to be done with you, are you?
00:02:18are you? No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today. Now listen,
00:02:23everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:27Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished. Ma'am, I still don't understand
00:02:33why you've kept your identity a secret. Why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow? Look,
00:02:37today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time. Ma'am,
00:02:44it really is time for you to accept your inheritance. Because what I want is a simple life with Ben. Ma'am,
00:02:54at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house for my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:13Why? You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity
00:03:22now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepherd Group. And you,
00:03:29you're just a cleaner. The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife
00:03:35who reflects my status. I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40Are you? A cleaning woman? Handing out million dollar deals? Don't make me laugh.
00:03:49I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday. I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:56What are you doing here? Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty. Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket
00:04:16cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it? Ben?
00:04:20What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her? Oh, please. I've spent years building
00:04:29Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all. Grown apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:42I won't sign anything. Ha! Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben? All right. Here, $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58$100,000. I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:08Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:05:15Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:33A cleaning lady, threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:49Thank God she's gone. Go to a written store.
00:05:54Sir? Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:57She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:06:06Actually, sir. Ben Harrison just divorced her. Divorced her? Wait a minute. Don't you remember?
00:06:15She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago. Yeah. She saved our hiding then. Remember?
00:06:22Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:29I don't know. Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:36Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me. You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.
00:06:44Stealing from the Harrisons. We gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it and now you're stealing.
00:06:50No. She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.
00:07:00That's mine. Give it back. Wait. Wait. Wait.
00:07:02Wait. Listen up.
00:07:05Laura? I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:09It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:07:16Who are you, Boris New Squeeze? Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:22Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:26Mr. Shepard, I... For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:33Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.
00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber? That's really interesting considering I thought you
00:07:43were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that.
00:07:49My ring. Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis. Oh, hey. What are you doing?
00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here. Now. Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man?
00:08:02Have you been sneaking around? It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:07All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:19What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:27Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:48No. Um, no. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:57What? There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly? You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a
00:09:21meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today. Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:40Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:54After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:09Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:14Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey. Just get out.
00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:25You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:27Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:32Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:45That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see things.
00:10:58Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:11:01Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security? She's lost a mind. This is a disaster.
00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:31I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:40It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:11:47Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:11:50Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...
00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:04Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber? That's really interesting,
00:12:13considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:12:17That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:12:22Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:12:23Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:12:30Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:12:35It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:12:38All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:43We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:12:50What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:12:58Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:13:03Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:14:45Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:14:50A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:14:53Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:14:57You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:14:59Oh, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:15:03Oh, Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:15:07You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:15:16That's what you get.
00:15:22This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:15:28Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:15:32Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:15:35Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:15:39Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:16:02You really think ripping up that contract is going to help? You're so silly, Lauren.
00:16:17Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:16:21Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:16:24I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds. And after careful consideration,
00:16:32I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:16:35You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:16:40You have no authority here.
00:16:42Of course she has the authority.
00:16:51That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:16:54Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:16:58Laura, are you all right?
00:17:02Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:17:07There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison. This contract with Shepard Group is officially
00:17:13terminated. Effective immediately. Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:17:21It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you? An affair? She had an affair with
00:17:28that man behind my son's back? Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:17:33Don't touch me. That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair,
00:17:38and you just stand there? You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be arrested.
00:17:43Shut up!
00:17:46Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:17:52Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then? What was my name before we got married?
00:18:02Laura Lewis, right? Lewis Group? The Financial Giants? There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:18:12That's crazy. There is no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:18:17It's... it's... it's absurd! A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:18:25Yeah. Yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her. In fact,
00:18:29I saved her from a robbery three years ago. She's nothing special. She only married me out of
00:18:35gratitude. I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben. First time I met her,
00:18:43she was indeed a waitress at the diner. Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her,
00:18:47I'd only just started my business. Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar
00:18:52contracts. And look at her. Still just a cleaner. Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:19:00She's doing all this out of spite. She's lying, Mr. Shepard. She's just a cleaning lady for your business,
00:19:06isn't she? Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid. Don't lie.
00:19:24You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops. That roof was built with lies.
00:19:30Kathy, you never respected me. And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful
00:19:36on your own. And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy. Consider this my resignation from
00:19:55the Harrisons. From everything. Wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and
00:20:05you know, ruin everything? And then just walk out like nothing happened? I don't think so. You're a cleaner.
00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you. Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my
00:20:17self-respect. I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:20:28No, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important.
00:20:31Right, Mom? Ben, what are you doing? But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of
00:20:38influence over a deal as big as this. A janitor. Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she
00:20:46landed that collaboration with Shepard? You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal,
00:20:54weren't you, Miss Smith? Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to
00:21:01trick you. I, but, well... A lie, you're saying. Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this
00:21:08contract for Harrison Group, but I don't recognize you. Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions. This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:21:23But the contract, I mean, Laura tore it up. So can't we just print another one and get this signing
00:21:30ceremony underway? Reprint it, Mr. Harrison. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:21:36Without Miss Lewis involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear. Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:21:55Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:21:59What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:22:03Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:22:07Believe what you want, Ben. Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:22:14Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood, and I'm sure you can ask them if you
00:22:21still have any doubts about who I am. Everyone, listen to me. Shepard Group will not be partnering
00:22:30with Harrison Group. A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on
00:22:38a contract. The charade is over, Mr. Harrison. Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:22:47Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:22:50Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation?
00:23:03quite the turn, Mr Shepard. Indeed. Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:23:20What? What now?
00:23:23Mom, this is not all on me. Not on you? I was trying to help. She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:23:33Exactly. And those dresses? Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:23:38Miss Smith, how could you do this? We trusted you completely.
00:23:43What? No, no. I got Ben the deal. I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura. She's a liar.
00:23:51Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:23:55Lied? You're on my side. And anyways, I have a plan.
00:24:01The Shepards are no one special. We can expose Laura and all her lies. Go national.
00:24:07We can make ourselves a household name.
00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.
00:24:16Thank you so much for tonight, Mr Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:24:25It's alright, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:24:28Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel?
00:24:33Don't worry about me, Mr Shepard. I'll be fine. Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:24:39Actually, Laura. Actually, Laura. There is something else.
00:24:43Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course.
00:24:47Mr Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:24:51Please, call me Brian. And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:24:59Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:25:09Proper? Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:25:16Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength. Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:25:24So what do you say? Dinner? Just two people getting to know each other.
00:25:34I'm sorry, Mr Shepard. I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:25:39Wait, Laura. Just here is fine.
00:25:41Laura?
00:25:42Laura?
00:25:43Laura?
00:25:44Who is it? Laura, wait!
00:25:45Jason, find out who owns that car. And do it fast.
00:26:02Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:26:07It's Amber Smith.
00:26:09Mr Lewis? I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:26:15I don't know who you are, Ms Smith. How did you get this number?
00:26:20Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well.
00:26:27Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?
00:26:34Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:26:40Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:26:44And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:26:48In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:26:53I want to meet with the Vice-Presidents. All will be revealed then.
00:26:58Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:27:05It won't be. Trust me, Mr Lewis. Thank you, Mr...
00:27:15That little rascal Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.
00:27:23That car belongs to Mr Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:27:28Oh. Lewis family? That's interesting. Could you be connected to them somehow?
00:27:37I'm not sure.
00:27:40Brian! There you are. I've missed you.
00:27:44Chloe.
00:27:45What are you up to?
00:27:47Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:27:49What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?
00:27:53We ended things for a reason.
00:27:55It was just one teensy mistake. I was... I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:28:02Teensy mistake, you say? You cheated on me.
00:28:05Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used to clean floors. Quite the catch. What are you saying?
00:28:17Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:28:24Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.
00:28:31That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:28:35You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:28:40If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:28:45Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:28:57This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor. Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:29:06I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:29:09Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise.
00:29:14Did Brian teach you already? That's none of your business.
00:29:19Now move aside, please.
00:29:21Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:29:24You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?
00:29:29If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:29:33Oh, the nerve. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:29:39Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:29:45Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:29:51You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:29:58And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.
00:30:04Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me? I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is.
00:30:14So stupid. Oh, shut your trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:30:24Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:30:28And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:30:31Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:30:39Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:30:49Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:30:53You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:30:58Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself. And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:31:07This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself. It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:31:17She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:31:24Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:31:28Not that I know of.
00:31:30See? She's lying.
00:31:32There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:31:36Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:31:41Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:31:44You have no idea what you just did.
00:31:49There be consequences.
00:31:52Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:32:04Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately! She is harassing me!
00:32:08We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:32:11Ma'am, place me with-
00:32:12What?
00:32:13Hold on!
00:32:14Brian Shepard?
00:32:17You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:32:22Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:32:25What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:32:28Get you out?
00:32:29After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:32:32Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:32:35How long has this little affair been going on?
00:32:38You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:32:41Hold on a second. An affair? You think Laura and I? You people are unbelievable.
00:32:51Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:32:55What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:32:59We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:33:01Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:33:08It seems there's a misunderstanding. These people don't think that I belong here.
00:33:14Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:33:17A cleaner? Nonsense. I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:33:23Exactly. Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:33:32In Maplewood. I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:33:36No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:33:41She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:33:48She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:33:52No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:33:59You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:34:06Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:34:09Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:34:13Excuse me. Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:34:17Enough of this. She grabbed me.
00:34:19That's enough. Have you never embarrassed yourself enough?
00:34:21This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:34:25But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She shouldn't be here.
00:34:30Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.
00:34:35This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:34:47Thank you for sending me in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:34:54Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:35:05Come in.
00:35:08Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:35:18Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:35:25Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:35:29Ian Lewis... Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:35:38Expansion plans? Miss Smith?
00:35:41A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:35:44And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:35:49But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:35:52Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:35:55Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:35:59Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:36:01Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:36:05We'll call security.
00:36:11Hey. Stop there. This elevator's a VIP only. Back please.
00:36:15Of course. My apologies.
00:36:24Laura?
00:36:27Vice President!
00:36:28It's so good to see all of you again.
00:36:32Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:36:43The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:36:46Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:36:54We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:36:59Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:37:05Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:37:09She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:37:17She said that, did she?
00:37:18Well, Miss Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:37:24She lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.
00:37:27Well, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:37:34Shepherd Group.
00:37:35Shepherd Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:37:38Do you have anything to do with that?
00:37:43So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:37:47Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:37:55Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.
00:38:04Cheers.
00:38:05Cheers.
00:38:08You, too.
00:38:13Go.
00:38:14No, I'm not leaving.
00:38:16What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:38:17Wait!
00:38:18I'm Amber Smith.
00:38:19I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:38:22Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:38:24Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:38:27Lewis Group Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am.
00:38:31And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:38:34Oh, of course. Laura!
00:38:36She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:38:39That's how she gets away with everything.
00:38:41You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:38:45No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:38:49Careful with your words. Both of you. Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:38:55Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:39:02And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:39:05Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:39:08Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:39:13You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:39:17Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.
00:39:20And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group,
00:39:24appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:39:29New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:39:33Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:39:36You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:39:39Don't play games, Laura.
00:39:41I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:39:46Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:39:50Is that so?
00:39:52Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:39:57You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:40:02And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:40:07Escort them out. Their visit is over.
00:40:10Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:40:13I'm not leaving.
00:40:15Move. We're not leaving again.
00:40:17Move. Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.
00:40:20This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:40:25Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:40:28Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:40:31And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:40:40Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:40:44Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:40:47Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:40:56Yes.
00:40:58Laura.
00:41:00There's something you should know.
00:41:02Is...
00:41:04Is this about Ben?
00:41:05Ben.
00:41:06Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:41:09He won't even get past security.
00:41:12Laura.
00:41:13It's not Ben.
00:41:15It's someone else.
00:41:18Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:41:20Yes.
00:41:23Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:41:27She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:41:31She's my ex-fiancee.
00:41:34And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:41:40And...
00:41:42Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:41:46And for some reason...
00:41:49She's having a hard time moving on.
00:41:52And...
00:41:54You think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:41:59For...
00:42:03Out of...
00:42:05Jealousy?
00:42:07There's a possibility.
00:42:08She's kind of jealous.
00:42:10Well...
00:42:12All the more reason for you to be there.
00:42:15Besides...
00:42:17I'll be there too.
00:42:20Laura...
00:42:23Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:42:26What?
00:42:28Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:42:31Maybe a little.
00:42:33But mostly...
00:42:35I want to show them we're your team.
00:42:37Well...
00:42:38It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:42:43Laura...
00:42:46I don't care about your best.
00:42:49I just want to be by your side.
00:42:52I think I'm falling for you.
00:42:53Ryan...
00:42:54I...
00:42:55I appreciate your honesty and...
00:42:56Right now...
00:42:57I...
00:42:58I'm just not...
00:42:59I...
00:43:00I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:43:01Just with...
00:43:02With everything going on...
00:43:03And...
00:43:04Going on and...
00:43:05It's okay.
00:43:06I just want to be upfront.
00:43:07And if Chloe tries anything...
00:43:08You won't face her alone.
00:43:09There's just one thing I do need.
00:43:10What is it?
00:43:11A formal dress.
00:43:12A formal dress.
00:43:13A formal dress.
00:43:14I...
00:43:15I...
00:43:16I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:43:17Just with...
00:43:18With everything going on.
00:43:19And...
00:43:20Going on and...
00:43:21It's okay.
00:43:22I just want to be upfront.
00:43:23And if Chloe tries anything...
00:43:25You won't face her alone.
00:43:27There's just...
00:43:31One thing...
00:43:32I do need.
00:43:34What is it?
00:43:36A formal dress.
00:43:50Ah! Security!
00:43:51She doesn't belong here.
00:43:52This is a private store.
00:43:54Excuse me.
00:43:55We...
00:43:56We...
00:43:57Need some assistance.
00:43:58I'm looking for...
00:43:59A very particular dress.
00:44:02Wow.
00:44:03It's...
00:44:04Beautiful.
00:44:05It is.
00:44:06I'll try this one on.
00:44:08Don't bother with her.
00:44:09She can't afford anything here.
00:44:11She's just a cleaner.
00:44:12She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:44:14She has no money.
00:44:17Yeah, exactly.
00:44:18I mean, what are you doing here?
00:44:19Can't you just leave me alone?
00:44:20I wouldn't bat an eyelash...
00:44:22If you just...
00:44:23Disappeared.
00:44:24I'm here for retail therapy.
00:44:26Oh, please.
00:44:27This store is for the A-list only.
00:44:30Not some cheapskate like you.
00:44:32Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:44:34Hey!
00:44:35Show some respect.
00:44:36Oh, wow.
00:44:37Typical Laura.
00:44:38Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:44:41I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:44:45Oh, please.
00:44:46Come on.
00:44:47We'll take the dress.
00:44:48Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:44:51What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:44:54I want it.
00:44:55Name your price.
00:44:56It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:44:58This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:45:01The entire brand belongs to her.
00:45:03This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:45:07It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:45:10What are you talking about?
00:45:11Of course it would suit her.
00:45:12It would fit her just fine.
00:45:14And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:45:18Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:45:25Oh, please.
00:45:26Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:45:29We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:45:31Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:45:34You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:45:36Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:45:39Of course.
00:45:40It was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:45:46hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:45:49Apparently there are many more like it, displayed in high-end stores and museums
00:45:54around the world from her private collection.
00:45:56Laura, do you like this dress?
00:46:00Of course.
00:46:01It's custom-made for me.
00:46:03I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:46:06Oh, you can't be serious.
00:46:07There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:46:11Fine, fine.
00:46:12If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:46:15It would look incredible on me.
00:46:17Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:46:20If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:46:25Are you calling me fat?
00:46:26Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:46:31How's that sound?
00:46:32Sir, are you serious?
00:46:33You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:46:37This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:46:40And to buy it for a waitress?
00:46:43Are you out of your mind?
00:46:44Yes.
00:46:45You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:46:48Just one second.
00:46:52Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:46:55I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:46:58I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:47:03What?
00:47:04Sorry, sir.
00:47:05That brand is not for sale.
00:47:06You see?
00:47:07If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:47:08Mr. Yates.
00:47:09Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:47:10I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:47:13Oh, come on.
00:47:14Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:47:16Exactly.
00:47:17Come on.
00:47:18This is pathetic.
00:47:19You really think this is going to work?
00:47:20It's sad.
00:47:21Excellent.
00:47:22Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:47:23That's all.
00:47:24Yes?
00:47:25Yes?
00:47:26Yes?
00:47:27Yes?
00:47:28Yes?
00:47:29Yes?
00:47:30Yes?
00:47:31Yes?
00:47:32Yes?
00:47:33Yes?
00:47:34Yes?
00:47:35Yes?
00:47:36Yes?
00:47:37Yes?
00:47:38Yes?
00:47:39Yes?
00:47:40Yes?
00:47:41Yes?
00:47:42Yes?
00:47:43Yes?
00:47:44Yes?
00:47:45Yes?
00:47:46Yes?
00:47:47Yes?
00:47:51What?
00:47:52Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:47:56Awesome.
00:48:02Hello?
00:48:03Yes?
00:48:05Wow.
00:48:06Yes, of course.
00:48:07Absolutely.
00:48:08Mm-hmm.
00:48:11This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:48:15Oh.
00:48:16The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:48:18How may I be of service today, sir?
00:48:20Well, Lauren, I don't know much about fashion.
00:48:24So I would like to give this brand to you.
00:48:27You can't be serious.
00:48:28You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:48:31Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:48:33You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:48:37Oh.
00:48:38You're not welcome here.
00:48:39I want the two of these out of my store.
00:48:45I want the two of these out of my store.
00:48:47Of course.
00:48:50Oh, come on.
00:48:51Sir?
00:48:52Ma'am?
00:48:53You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:48:54Well, we're not leaving.
00:48:55Okay?
00:48:56What?
00:48:57This isn't over, Laura.
00:48:58Could I try the dress on now?
00:49:00Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:49:02You just follow me.
00:49:09Wow.
00:49:11Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:49:17Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:49:21Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:49:28Laura.
00:49:31Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:49:35And that includes this dress.
00:49:40Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:49:44I...
00:49:45I need a moment.
00:49:46Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:49:52Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:49:55Maybe.
00:50:01Hi.
00:50:09Hi.
00:50:13What?
00:50:15Well, well, well.
00:50:17Look who decided to join the party.
00:50:19Playing dress up again, Laura?
00:50:21One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:50:24And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:50:26You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:50:29For this.
00:50:30This gold digger.
00:50:32You know, Ben.
00:50:33I really cared about you.
00:50:35Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:50:38I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:50:41Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:50:47Enough!
00:50:49I've had enough of this drama.
00:50:50Yeah, me too.
00:50:52Try that again.
00:50:53And you'll regret it.
00:50:55Now get the hell out of my face.
00:50:57Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:02I'm sorry, Miss Smith.
00:51:03But your name's not on the guest list.
00:51:05What?
00:51:06That's impossible.
00:51:08I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:51:11Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:51:15The name is on the list.
00:51:16What?
00:51:17Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:51:20You don't have an invitation.
00:51:22You're just here because of Brian.
00:51:28Let me see this.
00:51:29This doesn't even look real.
00:51:30It's different from mine.
00:51:31Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:51:34This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:51:39Why?
00:51:41Please, right this way.
00:51:43We can continue this discussion later.
00:51:45If you manage to get in.
00:51:46Sir?
00:51:47Madam?
00:51:48We recommend you leave.
00:51:49There you are!
00:51:50How dare you steal my fiancee!
00:51:51There you are!
00:51:52How dare you steal my fiancee!
00:51:53Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:51:55Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:51:56Get away from him!
00:51:57He's engaged to me!
00:51:58Hey, hey, hey.
00:51:59Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:52:00That ended a long time ago.
00:52:01Engaged to you.
00:52:02Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:52:03Your relationship's history.
00:52:04It's history.
00:52:05It's history.
00:52:06It's history.
00:52:07It's history.
00:52:08It's history.
00:52:09It's history.
00:52:10It's history.
00:52:11It's history.
00:52:12It's history.
00:52:13It's history.
00:52:14It's history.
00:52:15It's history.
00:52:16It's history.
00:52:17It's history.
00:52:18It's history.
00:52:19It's history.
00:52:20It's history.
00:52:21It's history.
00:52:22It's history.
00:52:23It's history.
00:52:24It's history.
00:52:25It's history.
00:52:26It's history.
00:52:27It's history.
00:52:28It's history.
00:52:29It's history.
00:52:30It's history.
00:52:31It's history.
00:52:32It's history.
00:52:33It's history.
00:52:34It's history.
00:52:35It's history.
00:52:36It's history.
00:52:37It's history.
00:52:38It's history.
00:52:39It's history.
00:52:40It's history.
00:52:41Remember, I don't have time for all this drama.
00:52:45Brian, let's head inside.
00:52:49Brian, how could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:52:54Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:52:57There's nothing left to say, Gloria. Don't make this a scene, shall we?
00:53:01You okay, Miss Duke?
00:53:10And you are?
00:53:11Amber Smith. I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:53:16What branch? I've never heard of it. What do you want from me?
00:53:19That Laura! She tore up my invitation. Do you think you can get me inside?
00:53:24What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:53:28Please don't waste my time.
00:53:31Oh, my God!
00:53:48If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:54:08Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:54:12Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:54:13Good.
00:54:14I need your help with something.
00:54:18What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:54:21It's Brian.
00:54:23Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:54:26She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:54:30What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:54:36Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:54:40What are you planning?
00:54:43I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:54:48Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:54:51I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:54:59What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:55:03I mean, you guys are just... power couple.
00:55:08I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say? More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:55:18Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:55:20Actually, Brian, my seat is... it's up there.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:55:30Excuse me.
00:55:31This is my VIP invitation.
00:55:34I can sit wherever I like.
00:55:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:55:39This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:55:42Where did you get this?
00:55:45Who did you have to sleep with?
00:55:46That's enough.
00:55:49This is getting us nowhere.
00:55:51Laura is my guest.
00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:55:58Got it?
00:55:59Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:56:04Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:56:06She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:56:11What more could you ask for?
00:56:13That's a good question.
00:56:15Not much, actually.
00:56:17Honesty.
00:56:19That's what I want.
00:56:21And love.
00:56:23Things that, clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:56:26I said I was sorry.
00:56:27What more do you want?
00:56:30I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:56:32She's like a daughter to me.
00:56:34I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:56:40One more chance, Brian.
00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:56:45Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:56:47Propose. Right here. Right now.
00:56:50Brian?
00:56:53Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:56:58By forcing a ring on someone?
00:57:01Do it.
00:57:02Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:57:10Don't you dare.
00:57:12You're humiliating yourself.
00:57:15How dare you?
00:57:17Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:57:19Yes.
00:57:21I like her.
00:57:25But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:57:30The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:57:35Why would you choose someone like her?
00:57:38Exactly.
00:57:39This woman is trouble.
00:57:41She doesn't belong here.
00:57:42Throw her out!
00:57:44You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:57:48Interesting turn of events.
00:57:51Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:57:55Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:58:04You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:58:06How ridiculous.
00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:58:09I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow. Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:58:21You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:58:24That's enough. You don't get to talk here.
00:58:27You got mad, Shepard. You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:58:30And the same applies to everyone else here. Anyone who insults Laura.
00:58:35Leave us with a black eye.
00:58:36She's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:58:39What kind of charm does she have?
00:58:41I want to be careful, Brian.
00:58:43Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:58:59Lewis Group RS? You?
00:59:02Don't make me laugh.
00:59:04Security! Remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:59:09Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance.
00:59:12Choose, Brian.
00:59:14Me and the future you deserve, or this...fraud.
00:59:20Chloe.
00:59:22I have everything I ever wanted, right here.
00:59:24Right here.
00:59:26In a wooden trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:59:30Fine.
00:59:36Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:59:38What?
00:59:40You forced my hand, Brian.
00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:59:44The Duke family.
00:59:45They can't be serious.
00:59:47Shepard Group is doomed.
00:59:49Brian.
00:59:51You don't have to do this for me.
00:59:53Laura.
00:59:55I will never let anyone bully you.
00:59:58Let alone them.
01:00:00Thank you, Brian.
01:00:02For...
01:00:04For believing in me.
01:00:05For...
01:00:06Protecting me.
01:00:08Now it's my turn.
01:00:10To protect you.
01:00:17Listen carefully.
01:00:19I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
01:00:23At all costs.
01:00:25Don't let it drop even one cent.
01:00:29Do you understand?
01:00:30Wow.
01:00:32Award winning performance, Laura.
01:00:35But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:00:38Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:00:42If...
01:00:44The Shepard stock holds...
01:00:47For the next five minutes...
01:00:51You owe me a public apology.
01:00:54Deal.
01:00:59Deal.
01:01:03Well...
01:01:05Looks like your five minutes is up.
01:01:09Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:01:15What the?
01:01:17The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:01:19It's going up!
01:01:21This can't be happening.
01:01:22It must be a coincidence.
01:01:25Thank you for that.
01:01:29Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:01:32There was a huge investment.
01:01:34We couldn't compete.
01:01:35Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
01:01:38How did you do this?
01:01:40Like I said, Chloe...
01:01:43I'm...
01:01:45Laura Lewis!
01:01:47No you're not!
01:01:48You're just some cleaner!
01:01:49You don't have access to billions!
01:01:51Well...
01:01:53I think it's time for my apology.
01:02:00No.
01:02:02I think it's time for my apology.
01:02:03There is no way I'm apologizing to you!
01:02:06If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
01:02:10Chloe?
01:02:11The truth is...
01:02:13Everyone here...
01:02:15Has seen you be a bully.
01:02:18And a coward.
01:02:20And now...
01:02:22A sore loser.
01:02:24This is so humiliating for her.
01:02:27How did she manage that?
01:02:29Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:02:31Apologize to Miss Lewis!
01:02:33Shut up!
01:02:35Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that!
01:02:37Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood!
01:02:41They don't lose our words.
01:02:43Let's get out of here.
01:02:45Hold on.
01:02:47This...
01:02:48Is where I belong.
01:02:50And that...
01:02:52Is my chair.
01:02:54You can't go there!
01:02:55That is the VIP section!
01:02:57Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
01:03:02Like I said, Chloe...
01:03:04That's my seat.
01:03:05Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:03:10Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd. Wasn't it?
01:03:22Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:03:25Is this how you charm all your men?
01:03:27Shall we?
01:03:29My pleasure.
01:03:31What are you doing?
01:03:33Let go!
01:03:34It doesn't matter what happened.
01:03:35I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:03:39Let's go.
01:03:41Don't be absurd!
01:03:42That seat is reserved for a very important guest!
01:03:46Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low!
01:03:52And...
01:03:54How exactly, Mr. Jones?
01:03:58Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:04:01Wait!
01:04:02That's Peter Young!
01:04:03Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group!
01:04:09Ask Peter Young!
01:04:10He decides which investment is...
01:04:11Mr. Young!
01:04:12It's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
01:04:14So glad you could join us!
01:04:16Why is everyone standing around?
01:04:17It's her!
01:04:18She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat!
01:04:21It's embarrassing!
01:04:22That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest!
01:04:26Specifically the family heir!
01:04:29Please get off the stage!
01:04:31Oh yes!
01:04:33Mr. Young, was it?
01:04:35I think I remember you!
01:04:36You manage my family's investments!
01:04:40Don't pretend like you know what's going on!
01:04:42Please get off the stage!
01:04:44That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir!
01:04:47I need to make one thing crystal clear!
01:04:54I am the heir of the Lewis family!
01:05:00This is ridiculous!
01:05:04You?
01:05:05The Lewis heir?
01:05:06Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:05:09You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this!
01:05:12Exactly!
01:05:13We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group!
01:05:19Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket!
01:05:23See Brian?
01:05:24This is who you've been chasing after!
01:05:26A liar and a cheat!
01:05:27Security!
01:05:29Get this imposter out of here!
01:05:31And everyone here is a witness!
01:05:33Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:05:36If any of you dares to harm her?
01:05:39You have to go through me first!
01:05:42Brian, she's just some nobody!
01:05:45She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched!
01:05:48They didn't even want her!
01:05:50What exactly do you see in her?
01:05:52Escort this imposter out of here!
01:05:54Now!
01:05:55I'm Peter!
01:05:57Peter!
01:05:58Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:05:59Mr. Yates!
01:06:00I'm so glad you could join us!
01:06:01Miss Lewis!
01:06:02Sorry about the delay!
01:06:03And for all the trouble you've had to put up with!
01:06:04It's no trouble, Mr. Yates!
01:06:05Luckily I haven't been alone!
01:06:06I've had the great company of my very loyal!
01:06:07Friend!
01:06:08Wait a minute!
01:06:09Wait a minute!
01:06:10She's Miss Lewis!
01:06:11Is this a joke?
01:06:12Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group!
01:06:13So I can understand why you wouldn't recognise Miss Lewis!
01:06:15Miss Lewis!
01:06:16But you listened to lies without checking the facts!
01:06:18And almost called the police!
01:06:19Tell me!
01:06:20Mr. Young!
01:06:21Mr. Young!
01:06:22Who put you up to this!
01:06:23Is it my uncle Ian Lewis?
01:06:24Mr. Young!
01:06:25Mr. Young!
01:06:26Mr. Young!
01:06:27I have a friend!
01:06:28I have a friend!
01:06:29I have a friend!
01:06:30I have a friend!
01:06:31I have a friend!
01:06:32I have a friend!
01:06:33I have a friend!
01:06:34I have a friend!
01:06:35I have a friend!
01:06:36Wait a minute!
01:06:37She's Miss Lewis!
01:06:38Is this a joke?
01:06:39Mr. Young!
01:06:40You're new to the Lewis Group!
01:06:41So I can understand why you wouldn't recognise Miss Lewis!
01:06:42But you listened to lies without checking the facts!
01:06:44And almost called the police!
01:06:45Tell me!
01:06:46Mr. Young!
01:06:47Who put you up to this!
01:06:51Was it my uncle Ian Lewis?
01:06:53Mr. Young!
01:06:54I knew it!
01:06:57Mr. Young!
01:06:58Consider this your termination!
01:07:02Mr. Young!
01:07:03I get it now!
01:07:04This is all an act!
01:07:06Right?
01:07:07Mr. Young!
01:07:08What are you doing?
01:07:09We still want to work with the Lewis family!
01:07:10Mr. Young!
01:07:11Are you blind?
01:07:12This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man!
01:07:15Mr. Young!
01:07:16That's enough young lady!
01:07:17You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group!
01:07:20Mr. Young!
01:07:21Mr. Young!
01:07:22Mr. Young!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:24Chloe!
01:07:25I can't believe we're going through this again!
01:07:26I think you need some professional help!
01:07:29Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist!
01:07:32Mr. Chloe!
01:07:33That's enough!
01:07:34It's ridiculous!
01:07:35If you were really the Lewis family heir you would have the ring!
01:07:38So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:07:40Show us the ring!
01:07:44Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:07:46Show us the ring!
01:07:48Show us the ring!
01:07:49Who are you to make demands of me?
01:07:52I don't answer to anyone but myself!
01:07:56I don't need any of your validation!
01:08:02There's a ring!
01:08:04Wow!
01:08:05Vice Presidents!
01:08:08I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family!
01:08:11This woman is an impostor!
01:08:13Ms. Lewis, we apologise for the delay!
01:08:16How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:08:19Get her out of here!
01:08:20This seat was always for Ms. Lewis!
01:08:23She's the special guest we've been waiting for!
01:08:26The investment queen!
01:08:28The real heir to Lewis Group!
01:08:31Laura Lewis!
01:08:33She was a divorced host wife!
01:08:34A janitor!
01:08:35How can she?
01:08:36She can't be!
01:08:37It's a lie!
01:08:38I'm telling you!
01:08:39It's a lie!
01:08:40Do you think we'd lie?
01:08:42We run Lewis Group!
01:08:44Oh, Chloe!
01:08:45You assaulted me earlier!
01:08:48And you came to this meeting to what?
01:08:52Sabotage it!
01:08:54You'll be hearing from our legal team!
01:08:59Is this true, Ms. Duke?
01:09:01Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:09:04Yes!
01:09:05It's all true!
01:09:06She fooled us all!
01:09:07The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods
01:09:11and control everything themselves!
01:09:13I had no idea!
01:09:15But I'm on your side!
01:09:17I can give you everything you need!
01:09:20All the resources in Maplewoods!
01:09:22Ms. Lewis!
01:09:23How would you like us to deal with this?
01:09:26An eye for an eye!
01:09:30Since Ms. Duke here loves ruining things,
01:09:37I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:09:42I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes!
01:09:45You're bluffing!
01:09:47You're nobody!
01:09:48You'll always be a nobody!
01:09:49And you can't touch me!
01:09:51Then, consider this a test, Chloe.
01:09:55I didn't need my family's support with Shepard
01:09:58and I certainly don't need it now.
01:10:00Chloe?
01:10:01You dug your own grave!
01:10:03You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:10:06with just the Shepard group?
01:10:08Please!
01:10:09We'll see!
01:10:10Dad?
01:10:11Slow down!
01:10:12What are you talking about?
01:10:13No!
01:10:14It's impossible!
01:10:15Chloe, what have you done?
01:10:16Years of hard work!
01:10:17Just draw it in minutes!
01:10:18What did you do?
01:10:19Well, Chloe?
01:10:20Isn't this what you wanted?
01:10:21To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:10:22This is impossible!
01:10:23This is impossible!
01:10:24It's impossible!
01:10:25Dad?
01:10:26Slow down!
01:10:27What are you talking about?
01:10:28No!
01:10:29It's impossible!
01:10:30Chloe, what have you done?
01:10:31Years of hard work!
01:10:32Just draw it in minutes!
01:10:33What did you do?
01:10:34What did you do?
01:10:35Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:10:41To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:10:44This is impossible!
01:10:47It's impossible!
01:10:48Chloe, what have you done?
01:10:51The news is everywhere!
01:10:53Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market!
01:10:56They're hammering our shares!
01:10:58Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:11:01Yes!
01:11:02Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato!
01:11:06We could go bankrupt!
01:11:07You've ruined everything!
01:11:09Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:11:10When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it!
01:11:15At a fire sale price!
01:11:16Your employees won't even be affected!
01:11:18Brilliant!
01:11:19A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis!
01:11:22Now, this is my event.
01:11:26Please leave.
01:11:28Ryan, I did this for us!
01:11:30Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:11:34Chloe, you need help.
01:11:37These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:11:42It's obsession.
01:11:44Enough!
01:11:45If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:11:49Right now.
01:11:50No!
01:11:51Right now!
01:11:53Ryan!
01:11:55Laura!
01:11:56This isn't over!
01:11:57Get out of me!
01:11:58What is going on here?
01:12:11Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:12:13Shepard Group.
01:12:14They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:12:18They're handling all future construction projects.
01:12:20That can't be!
01:12:22What about us?
01:12:23That was our project!
01:12:24Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:12:26Harrison Group is practically out.
01:12:28We have no chance.
01:12:30We can't give up that easily.
01:12:32Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:12:36In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:12:40You're right.
01:12:41If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the
01:12:46Lewis Group.
01:12:47We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:12:51That's right.
01:12:55Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:13:01I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:13:03Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:13:06We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:13:09Very impressive.
01:13:12Thank you, bud.
01:13:13A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:13:18She practically saved me from disaster.
01:13:20Three times over now.
01:13:22Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:13:25Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:13:29Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:13:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.
01:13:36Seize it.
01:13:38A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:13:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:13:52Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:13:53Laura? Hardly.
01:13:56I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:14:02So you're Laura's uncle?
01:14:04In the flesh.
01:14:06So Laura really is your niece?
01:14:09Yes, little Laura.
01:14:11She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:14:15Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:14:18I think he was a Harrison.
01:14:20Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:14:23Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:14:27And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:14:31If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:14:34Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:14:38We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:14:40What if I, what if I fail?
01:14:43My family is already ruined.
01:14:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:14:49But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:14:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:15:01There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:15:11Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:15:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:15:19Laura.
01:15:20So good to see you.
01:15:22And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:15:28I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.
01:15:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis' group afloat.
01:15:36Yes, indeed. Somebody had to.
01:15:39I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:15:46Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:15:55Yes, minor mistakes. Minor.
01:15:58Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:16:02Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here. And the Lewis group.
01:16:09Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:16:15Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian. I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:16:22Of course. Right away, just down to the left.
01:16:31Use it wisely.
01:16:33Oh, I will.
01:16:34Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:16:50Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:16:53Chloe. How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:16:58Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:17:00Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.
01:17:07Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now. Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:17:20Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:17:26Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:17:29And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:17:32Thank you. I'll go again.
01:17:34Lovely to see you again.
01:17:35Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow, at the banquet.
01:17:39At the banquet.
01:17:42I'll see you then.
01:17:43Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:17:48Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:17:51Laura!
01:17:53Laura! Where are you?
01:17:56God, Laura.
01:17:57Laura, where are you?
01:17:58Oh!
01:18:04Gotcha.
01:18:07You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:18:09Finally.
01:18:10Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:18:22What the?
01:18:23Laura, where are you, Laura? Laura?
01:18:25Go shut your mouth.
01:18:27Chloe.
01:18:28What have you done?
01:18:29You out of your mind?
01:18:30Out of my mind?
01:18:31You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life.
01:18:33That's not true.
01:18:34You were the one who messed up.
01:18:35Brian!
01:18:36Laura!
01:18:37Laura!
01:18:38Stay where you are.
01:18:39You better come alone.
01:18:40Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:18:41This is insane!
01:18:42Insane?
01:18:43I did this for us, Brian!
01:18:44We were meant to be together.
01:18:45Oh my god.
01:18:46Us?
01:18:47You've gone crazy!
01:18:48And you're out of here.
01:18:49Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offence.
01:18:53They're going to lock you up for years!
01:18:55You think I care?
01:18:56No!
01:18:57No!
01:18:58No!
01:18:59No!
01:19:00No!
01:19:01No!
01:19:02No!
01:19:03No!
01:19:04No!
01:19:05No!
01:19:06No!
01:19:07No!
01:19:08No!
01:19:09No!
01:19:10No!
01:19:11Do you think I care?
01:19:12About jail time?
01:19:13All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:19:14You don't deserve him!
01:19:17What you've done ...
01:19:19You've destroyed my life, my company, everything.
01:19:22No!
01:19:23So, I'm going to destroy your life.
01:19:25Give me the family ring now.
01:19:26Give it to me!
01:19:27This is about the ring.
01:19:28Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:19:34you up to this? You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish. Because who do you
01:19:43think is gonna win? You, that little knife, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive.
01:19:53Freeze! Don't move anyone. Don't move. You're about to be arrested for kidnapping. Miss Lewis,
01:20:11having fun without me, I'm hurt. Are you hurt? No, I'm okay. I'm okay.
01:20:22Tell me, Chloe. Who put you up to this, Chloe? Why should I tell you? You're gonna kill me
01:20:30anyway. Chloe, I don't have a problem with you. But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries
01:20:39might run into some. Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis. So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:20:46Talk, or face the consequences. Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:20:55if I kept you away from the bank room today. Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:21:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis. Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:21:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:21:20This is crazy. Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:21:25Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:21:30Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:21:34There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:21:38Yeah.
01:21:40Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:21:44This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group. How do you do?
01:21:48We're the company that... Yes, I know who you are.
01:21:51Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:21:54Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:22:01Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:22:05Thank you. The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:22:09Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:22:14A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:22:17Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:22:24Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.
01:22:28There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:22:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:22:37that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:22:40And, tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:22:48What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:22:51It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:22:53Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:22:55A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:22:57But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:23:02Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?
01:23:08Laura!
01:23:13I don't understand. What's happening?
01:23:17Laura? But weren't you...
01:23:19My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:23:23There seems to be some... misunderstanding.
01:23:26Laura, what are you doing here? You've got to stop this.
01:23:29If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:23:31I'll say this once. Back off, Ben.
01:23:34Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:23:41As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:23:52Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:23:57Uncle Ian?
01:23:58Impossible.
01:23:59How are you still alive?
01:24:01Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:24:06No. You're not the rightful heir.
01:24:09You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:24:13Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:24:18Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger
01:24:22and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:24:25Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:24:30Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:24:33No. There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:24:38And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:24:42You think a ring makes an heir?
01:24:45You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:24:49Give that back to me.
01:24:51This.
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:53You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:24:56Give it back.
01:24:58True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:25:05Not some stupid ring.
01:25:07Oh, my ring!
01:25:09What have you done? Where is it?
01:25:13My ring! Oh!
01:25:14Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:25:18How dare you!
01:25:19Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:25:26Talk, or face the consequences.
01:25:29Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he helped you in distress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:25:35Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:25:41Security, escort him out.
01:25:44And Ian, don't fall over.
01:25:47It's all lies! It's all lies! Fakery!
01:25:50The proof is clear! Get him out of here! Now!
01:25:52I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:26:00Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:26:06Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:26:12And he has been a great support.
01:26:18Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:26:24I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:26:32Shepherd Group.
01:26:34What? Laura, hold on!
01:26:36This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:26:40What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:26:44Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:26:50Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:26:54How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:26:58I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:27:04What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please, no.
01:27:06No, please, no.
01:27:09Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:27:13I was wondering if...
01:27:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:27:18Sometime.
01:27:21On me.
01:27:23Miss Lewis.
01:27:27I would love to.
01:27:36Is you away or to eat?
01:27:41No, probably, no.
01:27:45I won't.
01:27:47Okay.
01:27:50That's all.
01:27:52I'll relax a little later.
01:27:55I'll dön't out our próxima лишemia bro!
01:27:58Okay, quick mail!
01:28:00LAUGHTER
01:28:02disagree!
