00:00:00Hey, are you okay?
00:00:11It's snowing heavily out there.
00:00:13I... I have nowhere to go.
00:00:16Come here. You'll catch a cold.
00:00:18I'm James, by the way.
00:00:20Hello.
00:00:30You can use this to warm yourself up.
00:00:33And I've got some spare clothes, too, if you need.
00:00:35Thank you, James.
00:00:36Thank you for everything.
00:00:38I hope you're feeling a tad better.
00:00:44I hope you don't mind my curiosity.
00:00:48I know we've only just met.
00:00:51But why were you in the snow like that?
00:00:55It's a long story.
00:00:57A story of love and betrayal.
00:01:03If you're up to tell it, I'm up to listen.
00:01:07Thank you, James.
00:01:09Sometimes a warm cup of tea can make everything a bit better.
00:01:14Thank you for being so kind to a stranger.
00:01:16No problem at all.
00:01:18I think from now on we're not going to be strangers anymore.
00:01:22It all started with the snow.
00:01:23The reason I ended up in the snow is tired of the snow.
00:01:29How ironic.
00:01:38Mind if I join you?
00:01:39Oh, not at all.
00:01:40Please.
00:01:44We are in the snow, huh?
00:01:46Yeah.
00:01:47Quite unexpectedly romantic, don't you think?
00:01:49I always thought the snow just brings wonders into this world, don't you think?
00:01:56Yeah, definitely.
00:01:57It's like looking at a world from a different lens.
00:02:01You're not trying to flirt with me, are you?
00:02:03No, I mean, yeah.
00:02:05But if I am, is it working?
00:02:07I don't know.
00:02:09If you or me would work on you?
00:02:10It would if I do this.
00:02:14Why don't you ask for my number then?
00:02:19I mean, only if you wanted to, of course.
00:02:22Name's Jaden.
00:02:23By the way.
00:02:25Lila.
00:02:26Nice meeting you.
00:02:27Nice to meet you too.
00:02:28Maybe, you know, just maybe it's the start of something beautiful.
00:02:32I just love moments like this.
00:02:41It's me, you, and the warmth of this apartment.
00:02:44Yeah, I love them too.
00:02:46And since you walked into my life, everything seems in the right place.
00:02:52Lila, there's something I'm meaning to ask you.
00:02:55Something that's been on my mind for a while.
00:02:57What is it, Jaden?
00:02:59Oh, this was so easy in the mirror.
00:03:01Well, since we met in the night under the snow, it's been like a dream.
00:03:10You've made me the happiest man.
00:03:13You brought joy in my life and love.
00:03:17I'm not doing the dishes for you, Jaden.
00:03:19Can you be serious for one minute, please?
00:03:21And I'm not doing the laundry either.
00:03:23Oh, well, you won't have any choice after this, but I'll help you out as much as I can.
00:03:29Anyway.
00:03:29I want to ask you is if you want to be with me and spend the rest of my life with me,
00:03:38and would you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?
00:03:45Check it in.
00:03:47Yeah.
00:03:48Well...
00:03:49Lila, I love you so much.
00:03:54More than the words I can't explain.
00:03:58Would you be my wife?
00:03:59Yes.
00:04:00Yes.
00:04:01Yes.
00:04:01A thousand times.
00:04:02Yes.
00:04:04I love you.
00:04:05I love you too.
00:04:09This is so great.
00:04:10Good morning.
00:04:21Good morning.
00:04:22Good morning, my beautiful wife.
00:04:25I do suck.
00:04:25How about I cook you a homemade breakfast this morning?
00:04:34Sounds good.
00:04:36Hmm.
00:04:37You're a good chef.
00:04:38Uh, is that supposed to be a compliment?
00:04:41We both know how terrible I cook.
00:04:43It's true!
00:04:45No, you're just being mean.
00:04:47Remember the first day we cooked dinner together?
00:04:49We almost burned it.
00:04:51We had fun.
00:04:53Yeah, we did have fun.
00:04:54It was a lot of fun.
00:04:55I don't know if we're actually, like, married now.
00:04:58I know.
00:04:58We're husband and wife.
00:05:01Right.
00:05:02Who would have thought a girl under the snow would end up to be my beautiful wife?
00:05:08And cooking burnt dinners?
00:05:10Yeah, I thought you were just trying to flirt with me and leave.
00:05:15I can't believe that you actually kept up with all my craziness and married me.
00:05:19Well, Mrs. Philly, I guess I have to keep up with your craziness for the rest of my life.
00:05:26Well, I hope you can, Mr. Philly.
00:05:30I will.
00:05:31What about the breakfast?
00:05:38Yeah, let's order.
00:05:40And you're right, I've really got a cookie.
00:05:43Okay.
00:05:47How could you do this to me, Jaden?
00:05:49How could you betray us?
00:05:50It's not a big deal, Ayla.
00:05:52It's not a big deal?
00:05:54You cheated on me!
00:05:56Look, it's not a big deal.
00:05:59People change.
00:06:00So what?
00:06:01People change and they go to a therapist and they talk about their issues.
00:06:05They don't just go and do it with another woman.
00:06:07I tried.
00:06:08We tried.
00:06:09It didn't work.
00:06:09It was a wake-up call.
00:06:10Just take it.
00:06:11How would you be so insensitive?
00:06:13Everything we had, it means nothing to you.
00:06:15You're putting too much faith in us, okay?
00:06:18I cannot believe you're being so insensitive right now.
00:06:22You are not the man that I married!
00:06:24Stop shouting!
00:06:26I can't believe you're doing this.
00:06:31You are acting crazy.
00:06:33Call me crazy one more time and see what happens.
00:06:37What happens?
00:06:38What happens?
00:06:39Will you go and cheat on me again?
00:06:41Is that what will happen?
00:06:42Maybe I will again.
00:06:44What then, huh?
00:06:45What can you do?
00:06:46Get out!
00:06:46I'm going to leave before I do something bad.
00:06:50Don't come back here again!
00:07:03Again?
00:07:04Jayden, how can you do this to me?
00:07:06Again?
00:07:07Worst, why are you going through my phone?
00:07:11How is that even your question?
00:07:13How is that even the issue here?
00:07:15I didn't ask you to go through this shit, okay?
00:07:18What are you saying?
00:07:20You're saying that you don't love me anymore?
00:07:23Stop giving me with that bullshit again, okay?
00:07:26I didn't ask any of this!
00:07:27I gave up everything and I followed you just because I loved you!
00:07:32Solve with this victim card!
00:07:35What victim card?
00:07:37I thought we were a team, Jayden!
00:07:39Look, every time you're pretending you're perfect
00:07:43and you don't make any mistakes
00:07:45while everyone has to kiss your ass!
00:07:48When did I ever see that?
00:07:50All I did was fight for you, for us!
00:07:55I didn't ask you for this, okay?
00:07:57You know what?
00:07:59I don't have time for this.
00:08:01I want you to leave.
00:08:03Leave?
00:08:04Leave where?
00:08:06I don't care!
00:08:08Go sleep on the side road for all I care, okay?
00:08:12I found someone else.
00:08:13She's coming over.
00:08:14And I love her.
00:08:15You can't stay here tonight.
00:08:17What?
00:08:21Get the fuck out of here!
00:08:23Leave!
00:08:24I can't believe this is him.
00:08:26I don't love you anymore!
00:08:34Fuck.
00:08:38And that's how you met me.
00:08:40Wandering on the street.
00:08:42I was so confused.
00:08:44I had nowhere to go.
00:08:46Nobody to go to.
00:08:49I was just really, really sad.
00:08:53Sorry, I had to go through all that.
00:08:55Jayden, he kicked me out.
00:08:58And he broke my heart.
00:09:00Lila, that's awful.
00:09:02Do you have a place to stay?
00:09:04I have nowhere to go.
00:09:07That's an awful thing to experience.
00:09:10But I bet you're stronger than you think.
00:09:13I'm not strong.
00:09:17I just want to end it all here and now.
00:09:20I can assure you, it's just a phase.
00:09:22It'll pass.
00:09:24You don't even know me.
00:09:25I just...
00:09:25I just told my complete life story to a stranger.
00:09:31I'm not strong.
00:09:32I doubt my sanity now.
00:09:35I know it's quite a peculiar situation you found yourself in.
00:09:38But you don't have to see it that way.
00:09:41Remember, we're not strangers anymore, okay?
00:09:43Thank you, James.
00:09:45If it wasn't for your help, I'd probably still be on the street.
00:09:47It was just so sudden, you know?
00:09:50I didn't see it coming at all.
00:09:52Well, look, Lila, if you need a place to stay, my apartment has a spare room.
00:09:59I mean, you can stay there until you figure things out.
00:10:02Are you sure?
00:10:03But I have no money to pay you rent.
00:10:07So you don't see it as a burden?
00:10:08How about this?
00:10:09I own a little restaurant.
00:10:11You can work there until you gain ground.
00:10:14My customers did reasonably too.
00:10:16Thank you, James.
00:10:18I really appreciate it.
00:10:19You'll love to be at the restaurant.
00:10:21I'm sure I will.
00:10:28Wow.
00:10:29James, you did tell me this restaurant is pretty much like a palace.
00:10:33Well, I like to keep things, guys.
00:10:35Come on, let's give you the barantone.
00:10:38This is where the art of tasting good food is preserved.
00:10:42Wow.
00:10:43Impressive.
00:10:44Look at this interior.
00:10:46And the heart of this whole operation is the kitchen.
00:10:51It's so clean in here.
00:10:52I love it.
00:10:53Everybody is, like, so hardworking.
00:10:56Yeah, the folks in my family.
00:10:57We work hard, but we play even the hardest.
00:11:01Come on, let's have a seat.
00:11:08And here are the friendly faces that make sure our guests have a wonderful experience.
00:11:14Everybody's so nice.
00:11:16Yeah, we strive for excellence, both in the kitchen and in the decor.
00:11:19I'm very glad you think so, too.
00:11:22Who would have thought?
00:11:23James, you put a lot of thought into this.
00:11:25Yeah, I mean, I just thought about it, right?
00:11:26The one thing that people continue to do throughout their lives is eat.
00:11:30So I invested all my time and money, and here we are now.
00:11:34So, Lila, you can either work the morning shifts or the evening shifts.
00:11:39There will be a lunch break, dinner break, depending on which shifts you work.
00:11:43And your tips are yours to keep.
00:11:45And sometimes you'll make a little bit extra, depending on how much sales we make every day.
00:11:49Any questions, anything else you'd like to know?
00:11:51Um, yeah.
00:11:52I was actually wondering if I can work both day shifts and night shifts.
00:11:57I mean, I just need somebody to occupy my days to just keep my mind off things, you know?
00:12:03Yeah, seriously, I thought you were going to ask me where the ladies' room was.
00:12:06Absolutely, you can, but don't hurt yourself.
00:12:09Don't get crutched under the weight of your own problems, okay?
00:12:13Thank you, James.
00:12:14Thanks for everything.
00:12:15She's everything I never was and will continue to be.
00:12:21Maybe we're not meant to be for each other.
00:12:24People change.
00:12:25Stop with this victim card!
00:12:27Yeah, but you're better than the rest of us.
00:12:29I didn't do any of that.
00:12:32How could he do this to me?
00:12:34And for what?
00:12:35He just thinks that he is the best thing that ever existed.
00:12:39No, I can't let him get away with this.
00:12:42He's going to pay for everything.
00:12:45Come on, Lila, who are you kidding?
00:12:49What can you do?
00:12:51He has a new woman, a good job, a house, good life.
00:12:57And you?
00:12:58You have nothing.
00:13:00I'm just going to end it all right here.
00:13:03I just want this thing to end.
00:13:07Open this door, I'm going to break it down.
00:13:12Don't go crazy in there, all right?
00:13:14I know you're going through a lot right now, but you don't have to hurt yourself.
00:13:19I know how strong you are, and you can show him how strong you are.
00:13:23Please, you don't have to do this.
00:13:25That's right.
00:13:27Why do I have to die?
00:13:28I didn't do anything wrong.
00:13:30Why do I have to make a plan?
00:13:32Step one, gain power and influence.
00:13:42Step two, infiltrate his business empire.
00:13:47Find his weaknesses and exploit them.
00:13:51Step three, bring him to his knees.
00:13:56Good evening, sir.
00:14:04Are you going to play?
00:14:05Yes, I am.
00:14:06I'll have salmon with a side of asparagus.
00:14:09Certainly.
00:14:09Anything else for you?
00:14:10No, that's all.
00:14:12You can call me Alexander.
00:14:14Uh, unfortunately, we cannot address customers by their names.
00:14:18Sorry.
00:14:18You know, I'm a regular at this place.
00:14:21I think it's the first time I see a beauty like you here.
00:14:24Uh, first, thank you for the compliment.
00:14:27Second, I really shouldn't be talking this long.
00:14:30Um, and then third, I've been working here for a while and I haven't seen you either.
00:14:34Always away on my business trip.
00:14:36It's okay.
00:14:36You can ask James.
00:14:37He's a friend of mine, too.
00:14:40Alec!
00:14:42How are you?
00:14:42I'm going to see you.
00:14:44Nice to meet you.
00:14:46How was everything?
00:14:47It was good.
00:14:48It was good.
00:14:49My trip, everything was fine.
00:14:50You know, somebody's got to take care of the business.
00:14:53Yeah.
00:14:54Why did you employ this exception, beauty?
00:14:56It's the first time I see.
00:14:58Oh, Lila?
00:14:59Um, she's a good friend of mine.
00:15:01She won't be here for long.
00:15:02She's just here because of a rather peculiar situation she's found herself in.
00:15:09Your asparagus and salmon choice, sir.
00:15:13Can you introduce us, please?
00:15:15Sorry.
00:15:15Where are my manners?
00:15:16Alex, Lila?
00:15:17Well, Lila, Alex.
00:15:20Nice to meet you, Lila.
00:15:21I have a feeling you may become a very close friend.
00:15:26I've got to take care of someone in my kitchen.
00:15:27Thank you, James, for your kind words.
00:15:38It really means the world to me.
00:15:39You're a natural, Evo.
00:15:40The customers love you.
00:15:42And I'm very happy to have you at the restaurant.
00:15:45And the staff.
00:15:46They're just so nice.
00:15:49They always help me and show me around.
00:15:51It's incredible.
00:15:52I mean, really, I can't thank you enough.
00:15:54You're housing me.
00:15:55You're feeding me.
00:15:57If it wasn't for you, I'd probably be dead by now.
00:16:00Don't say that, Lila.
00:16:01You know, you can and will get your life back on track.
00:16:05I know it.
00:16:07Thank you, James.
00:16:08Don't mention it.
00:16:11You really have to stop thanking me at this point, Lila.
00:16:14I've told you many times, it's nothing.
00:16:16You're smart.
00:16:17You're beautiful.
00:16:19And with or without me, you're going to get your life back on track soon.
00:16:22It means the world to me.
00:16:25Basically like my family now, since I have none.
00:16:28I already told you.
00:16:30Don't mention it.
00:16:32But if you insist, I guess you could call me big brother?
00:16:37Speaking of good luck, Tron, Alexander.
00:16:41It's been a while since I've seen him.
00:16:44Loyal customer now.
00:16:46Yeah, Alexander.
00:16:48Who is he exactly?
00:16:50He's a wealthy businessman.
00:16:51A well-known city elite.
00:16:54We became friends after he came to my restaurant so frequently.
00:16:59Well, I'm very happy that you got to see him again.
00:17:01What does he do exactly?
00:17:04He has multiple different business ventures.
00:17:07And quite successful at that.
00:17:10Interesting.
00:17:10Do you think he could get me a job?
00:17:13I guess there's only one way to know.
00:17:14You'll just have to ask her yourself and see him.
00:17:17Thanks.
00:17:18Brother.
00:17:22Let's see what Alexander can do.
00:17:24You know, I found out something.
00:17:30Someone told me that you ran into Lila at the restaurant.
00:17:35Lila, the ex-wife?
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:37And, you know, she's working there as a waitress.
00:17:40Can you imagine that?
00:17:41Well, people got to do what they got to do.
00:17:44It's a bit hard out there, isn't it?
00:17:46You're too kind, baby.
00:17:47When you don't know the best part, she's a total mess.
00:17:50I mean, I kind of did her a favor by putting her out of my life.
00:17:54Why are you mentioning your ex-wife to me?
00:17:57Isn't that a little bit disrespectful?
00:18:00Come on, I just want...
00:18:01I thought maybe you should just know, you know, like, what you're dealing with.
00:18:04Well, I don't know why you're complaining.
00:18:06You married her.
00:18:07So why don't you go figure it out?
00:18:10Just so you know, she is nothing comparing to you, okay?
00:18:15You have nothing to worry about.
00:18:16Well, if you have nothing to hide, why don't you get her address from your little friend
00:18:22and we'll go and say hi.
00:18:24Don't speak like that.
00:18:25Why would I do that?
00:18:26I love you to pieces.
00:18:28If anything, I've let her go because of you.
00:18:31For you, actually.
00:18:33Okay?
00:18:34I would do anything for you.
00:18:35Why do you make it sound like you did me a favor?
00:18:38It's nothing like that, okay?
00:18:40If anything, I'm the luckiest guy for having you, okay?
00:18:44I will do anything for you.
00:18:46You know that!
00:18:50You're playing with me!
00:18:52Oh my god.
00:18:53It's not like you have a choice, do you?
00:18:56I don't.
00:18:56No.
00:18:57No.
00:19:01Here is your salmon with grilled asparagus.
00:19:04Just as you like it, sir.
00:19:06Thank you, Lila.
00:19:07Very attentive.
00:19:09Care to join me for a moment?
00:19:12Um...
00:19:12I can't.
00:19:13I'm working and it's against the rules.
00:19:16I'm sure James wouldn't mind it.
00:19:19I can ask him right now if you want.
00:19:21Sure?
00:19:22No, no, no.
00:19:22No need.
00:19:23Just for a moment, I guess.
00:19:26Would you like to order something?
00:19:28I am quite a gentleman, but there's no need to share this single plate of meal, isn't it?
00:19:32Uh, I'm a little bit uncomfortable.
00:19:35I feel like everybody's working and I'm just lounging around.
00:19:40I understand.
00:19:41How about I ask Jim about giving everybody a lunch break?
00:19:46Meal, of course.
00:19:47Would that make you comfortable?
00:19:48I don't think that's necessary.
00:19:51It's a little bit too much.
00:19:52No, no, no.
00:19:53Not at all.
00:19:54I just hope you will be feeling comfortable now.
00:19:57Yes.
00:19:59That's nice.
00:19:59So, let's talk about what brought you here.
00:20:05What happened to you.
00:20:06I want to know your story.
00:20:08That is very personal, I'm afraid.
00:20:12Fair enough.
00:20:15Well, what about your plans towards the future?
00:20:18I don't normally share my plans with strangers.
00:20:23They're quite interesting.
00:20:25You do have ambitions and you know how to keep your secrets.
00:20:30I like that.
00:20:31That has a mystery.
00:20:34I guess.
00:20:36I know, Jim.
00:20:37He wouldn't tell me anything about you.
00:20:39So, I only ask myself.
00:20:41Sorry for the pressure.
00:20:43In case if it's not obvious enough.
00:20:47I do like you, Lila.
00:20:48James, I hope you don't mind, but I had to borrow Lila for a moment.
00:20:57What do you mean you borrowed her?
00:20:58She's a human adult with a mind of her own.
00:21:01Except you did take her during working hours, though.
00:21:03She didn't even want to sit with me until I mentioned your name.
00:21:07And only then she agreed.
00:21:08So, please give all your workers a free meal and a lunch break.
00:21:11That was the only condition she felt comfortable with sitting with me here.
00:21:16Lila, must be a good luck charm or something.
00:21:18Thank you, Alex.
00:21:20Not a big deal.
00:21:21It's just something mysterious about Lila.
00:21:25You know, I can't really figure her out.
00:21:26Yeah, I mean, Lila, she's been through a lot.
00:21:32And she's a private person.
00:21:35Be careful not to pry too much.
00:21:37Why not?
00:21:38I find mystery intriguing.
00:21:41Because, my friend, some mysteries are better left unsolved.
00:21:45And you never know what you might uncover.
00:21:47Well, what is she?
00:21:50A secret drog lord?
00:21:51An assassin killer?
00:21:52Spy?
00:21:54I highly doubt that.
00:21:56But seriously, she's a private person and she's been through a lot.
00:22:00But I already told her I like her.
00:22:03What'd she say?
00:22:03She didn't really reply to me.
00:22:08Well, just take it slow, Alex.
00:22:09You barely know anything about her.
00:22:11Yeah.
00:22:14But you know, as the time goes by, I eventually will.
00:22:18Won't I?
00:22:19Yeah, we'll just have to see you, won't we?
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:21I have to apologize in advance, James.
00:22:25I might be stealing your good luck charm from you.
00:22:35Alexander.
00:22:36He might be the key, but...
00:22:39How do I let him help me?
00:22:42I need to find out more about him.
00:22:45Our next meeting is Kamsal.
00:22:49I need to play my cards right.
00:22:51Is he the key out of my misery?
00:22:56I refuse to believe that he's just a coincidence.
00:22:59Can't be.
00:23:03Thank you, universe.
00:23:05Step one.
00:23:07I'm getting closer to it.
00:23:08Jaden, you thought you could break me.
00:23:11But I'm coming for you.
00:23:12Thanks to Alexander, I'm one step closer.
00:23:17You won't even see it, Kami.
00:23:19You and your mistress will crumble.
00:23:23Just like you did to my dreams.
00:23:25Our dreams.
00:23:28Little do you know.
00:23:30You just created a stronger version of Lila.
00:23:35That will haunt you every step of the way.
00:23:38It's time to take control of my destiny.
00:23:45There's no more being a victim.
00:23:47There's no more tears.
00:23:50I will rebuild what you destroyed, Jaden.
00:23:54And I'll make you pay every step of the way.
00:23:59I'll dance to the shadows.
00:24:01I'll play the game.
00:24:04And when the time is right, I will strike.
00:24:07You have no place being happy.
00:24:13Just as you've taken everything I have away from me, I will do the same to you.
00:24:18You won't even know what will hit you, Jaden.
00:24:21It just happened.
00:24:23Oof.
00:24:23You won't even know what will happen.
00:24:32This city will witness my transformation, Jaden.
00:24:36You won't even recognize the woman who once loved you.
00:24:40The tables have turned.
00:24:43And I have all the cards.
00:24:44Here you go, Alex.
00:24:54Thank you, Lila.
00:24:56Is everything you okay?
00:24:57Let's take a seat.
00:24:59What do you need to tell?
00:25:00All right.
00:25:03What's on your mind?
00:25:05I want to know more about you.
00:25:07You're a star.
00:25:09As I've told you before, my story is a personal matter.
00:25:13You don't have to worry about anything.
00:25:15It's not like I'm going to run or anything.
00:25:19I know you're not ready to share your story yet.
00:25:21How about you just go with me?
00:25:24I work as my secretary.
00:25:25Leave this place behind.
00:25:28What makes you think that I'd be interested working for you?
00:25:32Or being your mistress?
00:25:34You're just wasting your talent here.
00:25:37I can give you another life.
00:25:38A life of luxury.
00:25:40All right.
00:25:44But what about James?
00:25:46I can't just leave him.
00:25:47He's done a lot for me.
00:25:48Yeah, that's true.
00:25:50But I'm sure he won't find it.
00:25:52He's a nice guy.
00:25:54An adult man and woman can decide to be together.
00:25:57As partners, I hope.
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:01I'll let him know.
00:26:02I'll come work for you.
00:26:04But do you trust me?
00:26:05Sure, I do.
00:26:12Hey, Lionel.
00:26:13Everything all right?
00:26:15Yeah, what's up?
00:26:16You know you don't have to go, right?
00:26:19You could stay.
00:26:20Thank you, James.
00:26:21But I really don't have much of a choice.
00:26:24You're just leaving what you really want?
00:26:25I mean, the restaurant's doing nice, and you're a crucial part of the team.
00:26:31I'm sure.
00:26:33I have to put pieces of my life back together.
00:26:35Yeah, I understand.
00:26:38Big bro will be here if you need anything.
00:26:41Thank you so much, James.
00:26:42I mean, big bro.
00:26:44You're literally like my family now.
00:26:46I just can't thank you enough.
00:26:51Hello, James.
00:26:52Alex.
00:26:53Take good care of your bro, all right?
00:26:55Don't worry.
00:26:56I'm going to treat you well.
00:26:58Hello, pretty lady.
00:27:00Ready to go?
00:27:01I'm ready.
00:27:03Consider this my official resignation.
00:27:06And whenever it snows, I'll take a game.
00:27:09Anytime.
00:27:13Snow.
00:27:15Now, off you go before I change my mind.
00:27:17Quick.
00:27:18Quick.
00:27:23Welcome to your new home, Laila.
00:27:36Wow.
00:27:37This is incredible.
00:27:40It is not bad, you know.
00:27:41Give me a hand.
00:27:44Here are the keys to both your apartment and the car downstairs.
00:27:48Consider it the symbol of my love.
00:27:50Your love?
00:27:53Yes, Laila.
00:27:55Take a seat.
00:27:56I own a very successful business.
00:27:59And it comes with a lot of responsibilities.
00:28:01And, unfortunately, a lot of trust in the people around me.
00:28:05What do you mean?
00:28:07I mean, I need someone who I can trust.
00:28:10Someone discreet.
00:28:11That's where exactly you come on stage.
00:28:14Me?
00:28:14What do you want me to do?
00:28:17I need you to become my eyes and ears.
00:28:20There's something suspicious going on, and I want you to track it for me.
00:28:24You want me to keep records for you.
00:28:27Exactly.
00:28:28I need someone who can mingle with myself and find out all the secrets.
00:28:32That's going to be you.
00:28:33Me?
00:28:34But, like, what makes you think that I can do this?
00:28:37Fair question.
00:28:38Let's just say I see something inside you.
00:28:41Not just strength, but also determination.
00:28:44And I like it.
00:28:45I really think I can do this.
00:28:48Well, I'll try.
00:28:49I'll do my best.
00:28:49A lot of business calls.
00:28:57We'll talk more about it later.
00:28:58First, get yourself comfortable.
00:29:00Send you home.
00:29:01Alexander?
00:29:02What makes you think that I can do this?
00:29:04I literally have no experience in the corporate world, and I...
00:29:08You know, for the person like me, it's very important to read people.
00:29:12Even though I don't know your story, but I can see you with my trust.
00:29:17And I see you can handle this.
00:29:18You can call it a faith or something, but I think that's the whole point why I'm meant here at the gym's place.
00:29:24You can help me.
00:29:26On the other hand, I would be very happy to spoil a woman I like.
00:29:31Get yourself comfortable.
00:29:38Welcome to the heart of my business, Lila.
00:29:40You'll be working here as a secretary.
00:29:43But your real work will be underground.
00:29:45Keeping an eye on any shady doings.
00:29:49I understand.
00:29:50I'll do my best.
00:29:52There's the money laundering ship who worries me a lot.
00:29:56Unfortunately, it looks like it's been going on quite a while now.
00:29:58So your first test will be finding out what's going on.
00:30:02And reporting it to me.
00:30:03Whatever it is, just inform it.
00:30:05Understood.
00:30:05Now, Lila, should we talk about some deeper layers?
00:30:14And those deeper layers are?
00:30:17You may already know that I like you and admire you as a woman.
00:30:21Really.
00:30:22And I want you to be my woman.
00:30:24But I'm not forcing you.
00:30:27Come to me whenever you're ready.
00:30:29I'm not rushing.
00:30:31I understand what is needed of me professionally.
00:30:34And I'll make sure to deliver beyond that.
00:30:36But I cannot be your woman.
00:30:39I mean, you don't even know me.
00:30:41You don't know my story.
00:30:42You don't know where I came from.
00:30:43I want to know you, Lila.
00:30:46And if you let me, I want to shake everything that I have.
00:30:50You can't help me with anything.
00:30:53So for now, let me help you with your business.
00:30:57I'm going to be your eyes and ears in this company.
00:31:00And I'll make sure to tell you about anything shady that's going on.
00:31:04You?
00:31:07All right.
00:31:08I'll give you the access to all the records so you can get the information you need.
00:31:15But the information is power.
00:31:18So be careful with it.
00:31:20Oh, and by the way, could we keep the fact that if we live together away from the staff,
00:31:25I want them to trust me.
00:31:27You know, I don't want them to think that I got this job just because of you.
00:31:31Which is true.
00:31:32I just want them to respect me.
00:31:35Sure.
00:31:36And I do respect your opinion.
00:31:52Step one in motion.
00:32:00Yes?
00:32:01Hi.
00:32:02I got a job for you.
00:32:03Are you a friend?
00:32:04Depends on the job.
00:32:05I want you to follow someone.
00:32:09I want you to report everything she does, where she goes, what she eats, who she hangs
00:32:13up with.
00:32:15Every little detail.
00:32:18That's a happy task.
00:32:19I'm sure about this.
00:32:20I'm sure.
00:32:21If you can do your part, I'm ready to be very handsomely.
00:32:25Just don't get caught.
00:32:27Of course I can.
00:32:28Give me the details I need to know.
00:32:31I'll send it to you via text.
00:32:32I'll send it to you via text.
00:32:33I'll send it to you via text.
00:32:34Her address, everything.
00:32:35Follow her discreetly.
00:32:36Do not get caught, as I already said.
00:32:39I want to know everything she does every single move.
00:32:44Is she?
00:32:45That's...
00:32:46That's a problem.
00:32:47How much have I took?
00:32:48Send me your account details.
00:32:50We'll discuss the payment later once you start working.
00:32:53Alright, will do. Trust me to get the job done.
00:32:57Wonderful. And if you get me caught, I have nothing to do with this. Got it?
00:33:03Listen, madam. I've been to this line of work for quite a while. I can handle it.
00:33:09I won't get caught. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell a word on you. I know how to handle this professionally.
00:33:17Perfect. Wait for my email then. I'll send you everything you need.
00:33:21And pleasure doing business with you. Yes.
00:33:27Step two in progress.
00:33:39Man. Hi, you must be Lila. I'm Dylan, head of HR and Human Resources here. It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:33:45Pleasure to meet you too. You are a lot prettier in person than your photo.
00:33:50My photo?
00:33:52Yes, the one on your resume. It's a beautiful photo. A headshot. But you're stunning.
00:33:58Thank you. I appreciate it.
00:34:00So, if you have any questions around here, or if there's anything you need to figure out, I'm here.
00:34:06Oh, yeah. Actually, I will be needing your help. I'm just still trying to figure out how things work from here.
00:34:14Whatever you need. That's what I'm here for.
00:34:16Yeah. Actually, I will be needing a list of heads of finance and accountants for the past year following Mr. Alexander's directions.
00:34:24That might be a little difficult and kind of tricky, but I'll see what I can put together for you.
00:34:30Is there something wrong or something you need to look at specifically?
00:34:35Oh, no, no, no, no. It's just purely for my own records. Just making a list here.
00:34:41Okay. Well, that's right. That's good.
00:34:43Hey, so, um, have you heard about missing funds by chance?
00:34:47How do you know that? That's confidential.
00:34:52So, I guess that's true. Thank you.
00:35:02Hello there. Welcome to our restaurant. We're delighted to have you. What will you be having today?
00:35:07Right. We checked your menu online and we made reservations. Check your computer and bring us what we ordered.
00:35:12Alrighty. Your food will be ready in five minutes. Will you be having anything else?
00:35:16Yes. Well, we're looking for someone. A waitress named Lila.
00:35:20Lila, you said? Unfortunately, we don't have anyone on our staff going by that name.
00:35:27Hmm. Well, a friend of mine told me there will be a girl working here named Lila.
00:35:32I'm quite certain there's no one named Lila on our staff.
00:35:35Hmm. Well, maybe she's ashamed of working here. Maybe she's going by a different name.
00:35:40No, sir. We haven't employed any new staff for a while now and I'm offended that you think what we do here is worthless.
00:35:47Well, thank you.
00:35:49Maybe I got the wrong place.
00:35:52You said she would be here soon. Where is she?
00:35:55Maybe. We heard the man. Maybe she doesn't work here anymore.
00:35:58You're right. She really is good for nothing, isn't she?
00:36:02Right.
00:36:04What?
00:36:12Before you leave me like, I began.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:15I'm right. These transactions, they're not in the books.
00:36:27Dylan, do you have a moment?
00:36:28Of course. What's going on?
00:36:31I've stumbled across some really suspicious transactions within the company.
00:36:34Do you know anything about it?
00:36:36Where did you get your hands on this?
00:36:38I found them. Seems like someone or a group of people
00:36:41are diverting large sums of money away from the company.
00:36:46This is serious. We need to tread carefully.
00:36:49I can help you investigate, and we just have to keep low.
00:36:53We can't be suspicious about this.
00:36:55I know. We have to find out who those people are and fast.
00:36:58I can try looking into this and getting more info and intel.
00:37:01I am the head of HR, but I need you to promise me
00:37:04that we will not tell anyone about this.
00:37:08Why not? I thought you wanted a promotion.
00:37:10You don't understand. This is dangerous.
00:37:14I can be in so much danger for just looking into this.
00:37:17Why? What do you have on list of those people?
00:37:19When I started investigating, I was just one person.
00:37:22And I figured out there was four people behind this,
00:37:25and I couldn't do anything.
00:37:26They're four of the head departments.
00:37:29I needed to tread carefully.
00:37:31How did you find out about this?
00:37:33I found a payroll slip
00:37:35with four names from people in different departments
00:37:37that don't exist.
00:37:39What?
00:37:48Hello?
00:37:49Hey, it's me.
00:37:51I wanted to report what happened to Jaden last morning.
00:37:54Good job.
00:37:56Continue to keep trail on her.
00:37:57Follow her every single step.
00:38:00Now, even for a second.
00:38:01I got a money where it is.
00:38:03It's only half of it.
00:38:04You'll get the other help when I say so.
00:38:06All right.
00:38:07No games, though.
00:38:09I can always find you just like I'm doing to that woman now.
00:38:12Don't worry.
00:38:13We have a deal.
00:38:14I always keep my promises.
00:38:16Hi, James.
00:38:24How's it going?
00:38:25How's the restaurant?
00:38:26Hey, Viva.
00:38:27Just checking in.
00:38:28How's everything going?
00:38:30Good.
00:38:31It's a little different than my waitressing date, that's for sure.
00:38:34That's good to hear.
00:38:35We miss it at the restaurant, but I understand it's all for the better.
00:38:37Listen, I had an unusual visitor at the restaurant today.
00:38:41Some guy was asking about you.
00:38:42He felt strange.
00:38:43Really?
00:38:44What was it?
00:38:45No, he didn't say.
00:38:47He just said he wanted to see you, and he was with a woman, too.
00:38:50That's weird.
00:38:51Did he say his name, or...?
00:38:54He didn't say anything in particular.
00:38:56Just that he wanted to see you because he heard you worked as a waitress there.
00:39:00Oh.
00:39:01Must be one of my admirers.
00:39:03So many people used to tell me that I looked pretty before.
00:39:06I thought so, too.
00:39:07But you sounded like he knew you.
00:39:09Like he knows you.
00:39:10Hmm.
00:39:12Strange.
00:39:13Don't worry about it, though.
00:39:14I'm sure it's nothing.
00:39:15Viva, please be careful.
00:39:16You never know who might show up.
00:39:18Don't worry, James.
00:39:20I'm going to be just fine.
00:39:21If you ever get into trouble, give me a call, okay?
00:39:24All right.
00:39:25Good night, James.
00:39:26Good night.
00:39:32Who's that?
00:39:34Oh, it was just James.
00:39:36He was calling to see how I was doing working as a secretary.
00:39:39Nothing to worry about.
00:39:40Okay.
00:39:41Yeah.
00:39:44Alexander.
00:39:45This is Bill the Beans.
00:39:47How did you manage all of this?
00:39:49It's really impressive.
00:39:50It's a combination of things, Lila.
00:39:52Knowing the right people, networking, being in a circle of influence,
00:39:56and, of course, knowing what needs to be done.
00:39:59But the most important thing in the business world,
00:40:02not just knowing the right people,
00:40:04but to know how to make them useful for yourself.
00:40:07How do you make people useful for yourself?
00:40:11It's actually a good question.
00:40:13I don't think I can explain.
00:40:15There's a psychology trick that comes with it.
00:40:18You need to know how to make people do what you want,
00:40:21and how to make them go in peace.
00:40:24You need to need them.
00:40:26How do you use people?
00:40:27How do you use me?
00:40:28So, Jaden used me.
00:40:32He used me, and then disposed of me
00:40:35when I wasn't available to be trapped on anymore.
00:40:38Now I understand.
00:40:39Sounds like a winning formula.
00:40:41I'd love to get into that more.
00:40:43Just remember, Lila,
00:40:44it all starts with people.
00:40:46Knowing the right people will open the doors
00:40:48you never thought possible.
00:40:50Social networks are now on tools.
00:40:53So, that's the key.
00:40:55I'll make sure to use your advice.
00:40:56You will come on.
00:40:59I know you do.
00:41:01And I'm sorry that I can't love you back, Alex.
00:41:04You're a good man.
00:41:06You will eventually.
00:41:08Well, you'll see.
00:41:11Hello, Lila.
00:41:16You speak Spanish, too?
00:41:18I do.
00:41:19You know, I know we just work together,
00:41:22but we can be friends, no?
00:41:25Friends?
00:41:26I don't do friends.
00:41:27I'm going to be just fine on my own.
00:41:32Okay, since you're here,
00:41:34do you remember you were telling me about
00:41:36people that actually don't exist on the payroll?
00:41:38Shh, please.
00:41:40You can't talk about that here.
00:41:43Why?
00:41:44You don't know who's working for whom.
00:41:47All right, well, can you elaborate?
00:41:48So, the heads of the department
00:41:50put a list together
00:41:51with names that go straight
00:41:53into their private accounts.
00:41:55These names have job descriptions
00:41:57that don't exist in the company.
00:41:59They do this so that all of the money
00:42:02goes into the private account.
00:42:04The heads of the department get away with this
00:42:05because they're all working together.
00:42:08Do you remember the list
00:42:09that I made last week?
00:42:11Yeah.
00:42:13What about it?
00:42:14I made it,
00:42:15and I put it in for Alexander to see.
00:42:18Then, nothing happened,
00:42:19so I let it pass.
00:42:21Dylan, that's a massive gap
00:42:23between the actual income
00:42:24and what's submitted for audit.
00:42:26How did you uncomfort this?
00:42:28I've known for a while now,
00:42:30but I needed to just let it pass
00:42:32or my supervisors would have fired me.
00:42:34I didn't have a choice.
00:42:36So you were aware about this wrong going all along?
00:42:39Yes, I've known.
00:42:40But my hands are tied.
00:42:42I needed to get concrete evidence
00:42:43before I could do anything.
00:42:46Thank you for being honest with me, Dylan.
00:42:48For now, we need to dig deeper
00:42:50and gather evidence against those involved,
00:42:52and then we can bring them down.
00:43:02Alexander, we have a serious issue.
00:43:05There are significant financial discrepancies
00:43:07within the company
00:43:08involving key individuals.
00:43:25Alexander, I was thinking,
00:43:27what if we collaborate on a business venture together
00:43:30with your expertise and my determination?
00:43:34It's like a perfect combination.
00:43:36I must admit, Lila,
00:43:38your drive is admirable.
00:43:40What do you have in mind?
00:43:42I was observing your industry very closely.
00:43:45There are rumors of a groundbreaking project,
00:43:48and if we played our cars right,
00:43:50it might be ours.
00:43:51What do you know about our business?
00:43:53Let's just say that
00:43:55I have a very keen
00:43:58instinct on business.
00:44:01Together, we'll succeed.
00:44:02You know how to be convincing.
00:44:09But these matters are
00:44:11extremely sensitive.
00:44:13Millions of dollars
00:44:15are at play there.
00:44:16How do I know I can trust you?
00:44:19Trust is to be earned.
00:44:20I do realize that.
00:44:22I propose a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:44:26You make me the major shareholder
00:44:28of the company,
00:44:29and I make sure
00:44:30that all your interests
00:44:31are secured.
00:44:34We either rise or fall together.
00:44:37What's in it for you?
00:44:38Well, a chance to prove myself, of course.
00:44:41And an opportunity
00:44:42to be a part of something bigger.
00:44:44I took out the thieves
00:44:45out of your company.
00:44:46Remember?
00:44:47They were stealing money
00:44:48right under your nose.
00:44:50But I did learn something from you.
00:44:52I have to use the people
00:44:54to get to the top.
00:44:55And this is what I'm planning to do
00:44:57for both me and you.
00:44:59It's not only about you.
00:45:01Okay.
00:45:02All right, Lila.
00:45:04Let's embark on this journey together.
00:45:07You've proven to be very capable.
00:45:09And I have a feeling
00:45:11that you will do this again.
00:45:13I was right about you.
00:45:15There is something inside.
00:45:18But I didn't figure it out.
00:45:22Yet.
00:45:24Then I'll leave it to you to figure.
00:45:27I have a proposal to make
00:45:41that will benefit your company.
00:45:43And what could that be?
00:45:44There is an application
00:45:45that I came across.
00:45:47This person, if hired,
00:45:49will do great good for your company.
00:45:51And in fact,
00:45:52I think he should be promoted
00:45:54to head of finance.
00:45:56Ask this Chitin guy.
00:45:58What makes him special?
00:45:59Oh, he came highly recommended
00:46:01by a previous employer.
00:46:03I think a person like him
00:46:04will be a very valuable addition
00:46:06to the team.
00:46:08I'm still more sure in, Lila.
00:46:10What makes you think he's the guy?
00:46:12As I said before,
00:46:15he is very professional.
00:46:17And he's very qualified.
00:46:19A person like that
00:46:19will be an amazing ally.
00:46:23All right.
00:46:26If you believe in his capabilities,
00:46:28then speak to Dylan,
00:46:29personal administrator.
00:46:31If Dylan approves,
00:46:32then this will be it.
00:46:34Thank you, Alexander.
00:46:35I make sure this benefits
00:46:36all of us.
00:46:38I hope so.
00:46:50Dylan?
00:46:52I want you to contact this person
00:46:54and tell him that he was
00:46:55recruited by us.
00:46:56You decided to hire him?
00:46:58You know, I don't have
00:46:59that much power.
00:47:00Mr. Alexander did.
00:47:02Jaden Phillips.
00:47:03Yeah.
00:47:17James,
00:47:17you are the only one
00:47:19that I can trust this with.
00:47:21I'm orchestrating a plan,
00:47:22slowly moving towards a goal.
00:47:24You're my family now.
00:47:26That's why I need your help.
00:47:28You are the one
00:47:29who knows the whole story.
00:47:31You are the one
00:47:32helping me out of the snow,
00:47:33out of the loneliness
00:47:34and of despair
00:47:34that he put me through.
00:47:35I thought you bounced back.
00:47:37I thought letting you live
00:47:39with Alex
00:47:40would have taken your mind
00:47:41off of me.
00:47:42Bounce back?
00:47:44James, you don't just
00:47:45bounce back after
00:47:47a man just throws you
00:47:48out in the snow
00:47:49after you decided
00:47:50to spend the rest
00:47:51of your life with him.
00:47:53I understand.
00:47:55I understand.
00:47:55You don't understand.
00:47:57Nobody can understand me,
00:47:59James.
00:48:00The only thing
00:48:02that keeps me going
00:48:02is if he feels
00:48:04the pain that I felt.
00:48:05I need your help.
00:48:07Are you going to help me
00:48:07or not?
00:48:08Yeah, Lila.
00:48:09I'll help you.
00:48:10You're like family to me.
00:48:11I'll help you regardless.
00:48:13Thank you, James.
00:48:15Now you need to move quick.
00:48:16It is very crucial.
00:48:18I'm counting on you.
00:48:20I'll always help you out, Lila.
00:48:22You're family to me.
00:48:23Perfect.
00:48:30Hello.
00:48:32Hey, hello there.
00:48:33You look familiar.
00:48:34Do I know you?
00:48:35Yeah, yeah.
00:48:36I'm the owner
00:48:37of this restaurant
00:48:38and you're
00:48:40a stunning beauty.
00:48:41Oh, thank you.
00:48:48Michelle!
00:48:49I got the job!
00:48:51I got the job!
00:48:52Oh, they're giving me
00:48:52a high position
00:48:53in the firm!
00:48:54Oh, my God, babe.
00:48:55It's amazing.
00:48:56Yeah.
00:48:56Congratulations.
00:48:57I'm so proud of you.
00:48:58I can't believe it.
00:49:00I left it to luck
00:49:01and, you know,
00:49:02like, I can't believe
00:49:03this is happening to me.
00:49:05I'm so proud of you.
00:49:06It's amazing.
00:49:07Yeah.
00:49:08You deserve this.
00:49:10I know,
00:49:10and it comes
00:49:11with a higher pay
00:49:12and it comes
00:49:14with many other benefits.
00:49:16I can't believe
00:49:17this is happening to me
00:49:18and they're going to
00:49:18make me a head of finance.
00:49:20This is going to be
00:49:21the biggest win for me.
00:49:23You know,
00:49:25ever since you came
00:49:26into my life,
00:49:27you bring me
00:49:27good luck charm.
00:49:29Yes, I think I am
00:49:30your good luck charm.
00:49:31You are.
00:49:31Of course you are.
00:49:32And you know what?
00:49:34Anything you want,
00:49:35I will give it to you.
00:49:37I would like
00:49:38a Bergen bag.
00:49:39And you should have
00:49:40your Bergen bag.
00:49:41Oh, thanks, honey.
00:49:42Anything for why
00:49:43you could look charm.
00:49:46You're the best, though.
00:49:48I know.
00:49:51Lila,
00:49:52I just sent an email
00:49:53to a Mr. Jaden Phillips.
00:49:55He'll be joining us
00:49:55real soon.
00:49:56Thank you, Dylan.
00:49:57I appreciate
00:49:58your efficiency.
00:50:00I'm sure Mr. Jaden
00:50:01would be a perfect
00:50:02addition to our team.
00:50:10Cheers.
00:50:10Cheers.
00:50:10Cheers.
00:50:12Alex,
00:50:14our joint venture
00:50:16could be revolutionary.
00:50:18I'll handle
00:50:18the majority of work
00:50:19and you just check in
00:50:21from time to time.
00:50:22Majority of work?
00:50:24What makes you think
00:50:24you should be having
00:50:26a major cut
00:50:28compared to mine?
00:50:30Darling,
00:50:31must I remind you
00:50:32how I
00:50:33unrevealed
00:50:35all the threats
00:50:36in your company?
00:50:38I just have a talent
00:50:39for this kind of thing.
00:50:40for discovering secrets
00:50:43and
00:50:43all the rest.
00:50:46Not even taking a break
00:50:47until you get
00:50:47what you want,
00:50:48aren't you?
00:50:49Why not just become
00:50:50my wife?
00:50:51You can still have
00:50:52all of this,
00:50:53but you don't need
00:50:54to work so hard.
00:50:55Oh,
00:50:55Alexander,
00:50:56you do realize
00:50:58that marriage
00:50:58comes with its own
00:50:59complications,
00:51:00right?
00:51:01You just want to
00:51:02keep things interesting.
00:51:03and besides,
00:51:05the power dynamic
00:51:06is way more
00:51:07thrilling like this.
00:51:09All right,
00:51:10Lila.
00:51:11Once again,
00:51:12you've proven yourself
00:51:12to be smart
00:51:13and good with management.
00:51:16The company is yours.
00:51:17You won't regret this.
00:51:20I can bring this company
00:51:21to great heights.
00:51:22I just can feel it.
00:51:23I always knew
00:51:25there was something
00:51:25about you.
00:51:27Was it just charisma?
00:51:28I'm not sure.
00:51:30Though I still know
00:51:31nothing about your past,
00:51:33who exactly are you?
00:51:36Patience,
00:51:36my friend.
00:51:37Patience.
00:51:39Time is not right yet.
00:51:41When the time is right,
00:51:42you will know everything.
00:51:44You still have a lot
00:51:45of secrets.
00:51:47Your mystery keeps
00:51:48attracting me
00:51:49every day to you.
00:51:51A woman with secret
00:51:52and confidence
00:51:54will never cease
00:51:55to amaze me.
00:51:56That's exactly who I am.
00:51:58A woman with a lot
00:51:59of secrets.
00:52:06Hello?
00:52:08Here comes the daily report.
00:52:13It's not special.

00:52:17Thank you for your efforts.
00:52:19You've helped a good job.

00:52:21she's going next.
00:52:22I need something

00:52:42Come on.
00:52:42Hey, Laila, what's up?
00:52:58Hey, James.
00:52:59I'll need you to make
00:53:00a surprise this tomorrow.
00:53:01You don't need...
00:53:03I need you to make
00:53:05her fall for you
00:53:06and hard.
00:53:07Should we really
00:53:08be doing this?
00:53:09James, are you with me
00:53:10or not?
00:53:11You know that I'm doing
00:53:12this, with or without you.
00:53:15Does Alex know
00:53:15about any of this?
00:53:16Unless you tell him
00:53:17about it, there's no
00:53:18way of him knowing.
00:53:20I don't even answer
00:53:21like phone calls
00:53:22near him.
00:53:23Do you think that
00:53:24any of this is
00:53:24fair to him?
00:53:27There is literally
00:53:28no turning back.
00:53:30I'm about to close
00:53:31a deal and Alex
00:53:32is going to make me
00:53:32a major shareholder.
00:53:34I'm doing this.
00:53:35He's also the one
00:53:36who told me that
00:53:36I should use people
00:53:37to get what I want.
00:53:39So all I'm doing
00:53:40is following his advice.
00:53:42My revenge
00:53:42is this close, okay?
00:53:44So I'm going to do it.
00:53:46Regardless,
00:53:47are you with me
00:53:48or are you not?
00:53:51I'm on your side, Laila.
00:53:53Perfect.
00:53:58Step three.
00:54:02Laila.
00:54:03I'm glad you could make it.
00:54:04Have a seat.
00:54:09What's up, Alexander?
00:54:11Is there anything
00:54:11important you want
00:54:12to talk about?
00:54:13Yes, there is.
00:54:15We are ready
00:54:17for our business venture.
00:54:20There is a catch.
00:54:21What's the catch?
00:54:22The catch, mind you,
00:54:23is you.
00:54:24I need you to
00:54:26obviously think
00:54:27it's better for a while.
00:54:28The benefits
00:54:29of being a shareholder?
00:54:30Well, you're lucky
00:54:31that you made me one
00:54:32because now I can
00:54:33overlook business
00:54:34while you're away
00:54:35juggling your other ventures.
00:54:36Good.
00:54:37I really trust in you.
00:54:40But Laila,
00:54:41you need to be
00:54:41very careful
00:54:42because I invested
00:54:43too much into this.
00:54:44And if it doesn't work out,
00:54:47it may be over for us.
00:54:49Don't worry, Alexander.
00:54:50I wouldn't have agreed
00:54:51if I wasn't sure
00:54:53of the potential
00:54:54of this new business.
00:54:56Good.
00:54:57That's good.
00:54:58On the other hand,
00:54:59the guy who recommended
00:55:00for the head of finance,
00:55:01Jaden,
00:55:02is ready to start.
00:55:04Really?
00:55:05Yeah.
00:55:07I wanted to introduce him
00:55:08for our team.
00:55:10But he will be
00:55:11on a business trip
00:55:12when he comes.
00:55:12Well, I guess
00:55:15we can be introduced
00:55:16personally
00:55:17once I'm back.
00:55:18Look, his resume
00:55:19is wonderful.
00:55:20And I recommended him
00:55:22to you,
00:55:23so I'm sure
00:55:23he will be a great addition
00:55:24to the team
00:55:25and work as hard
00:55:26as I have been.
00:55:28Yes.
00:55:29Now, one more thing.
00:55:31I need somebody
00:55:31to keep an eye on
00:55:32everything that's
00:55:33going on here.
00:55:35Do you have somebody
00:55:36to recommend?
00:55:38Oh, Dylan is
00:55:38the perfect person
00:55:39for that.
00:55:40I'll delegate it to him.
00:55:41Sure.
00:55:41Anything else?
00:55:44No.
00:55:45Thank you, sir.
00:55:53Step by step, Jaden.
00:55:55I'll give you
00:55:56everything you've
00:55:56ever dreamed of
00:55:57and more.
00:55:58And then I'll just
00:55:59take it all away
00:56:00from you overnight.
00:56:01I'm going to ruin
00:56:02your life.
00:56:09Hey, Dylan.
00:56:09Dylan, are you
00:56:10with the office
00:56:11right now?
00:56:12Oh, cool.
00:56:13I'll be right there.
00:56:20Oh, hey.
00:56:21It's you.
00:56:22What are you doing here?
00:56:23Can't a man
00:56:24catch some downtime
00:56:25around here?
00:56:26I'm not speculating.
00:56:27I just, um,
00:56:28I thought it was
00:56:29quite a nice coincidence
00:56:29for us to buff
00:56:30into each other.
00:56:31Want to grab lunch?
00:56:32Yeah, I'd love to.
00:56:37So, Michelle,
00:56:38tell me about yourself.
00:56:40There's not really
00:56:40much to tell, honestly.
00:56:42Um, I grew up
00:56:43in a little town
00:56:44in Kansas
00:56:45and I graduated
00:56:47from SNU,
00:56:48living a pretty
00:56:49regular life so far.
00:56:50How about you?
00:56:51Well, I'm from
00:56:53Minnesota
00:56:53and I grew up
00:56:54in Canada.
00:56:55I don't have
00:56:57any hobbies
00:56:57because I've got
00:56:58a restaurant to run.
00:56:59No way!
00:57:01Why are you so surprised?
00:57:02You seem like
00:57:03an all-rounder.
00:57:03I can't imagine
00:57:05you wouldn't have
00:57:06any hobbies.
00:57:08Well,
00:57:10I guess we could
00:57:11find out what you enjoy.
00:57:13But first,
00:57:14let's eat.
00:57:22What's up, Lila?
00:57:24How's it going?
00:57:25Dylan!
00:57:27I need you
00:57:27to do me a favor.
00:57:29When the new
00:57:29head of finance starts,
00:57:31I want you
00:57:32to keep an eye out
00:57:32for him.
00:57:33Just give him
00:57:34a warm welcome
00:57:34just like you did
00:57:35when I first started.
00:57:36Show him around
00:57:37the office,
00:57:38introduce him
00:57:39to the team.
00:57:40You know the drill.
00:57:41Sure thing.
00:57:42You know it's my job
00:57:42to show the newbies
00:57:43around here
00:57:44and ask them
00:57:45and see if they
00:57:46need my help
00:57:46when they need it.
00:57:48Got it.
00:57:48Do I mention you?
00:57:50Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:57:51I want you to
00:57:52personally introduce us
00:57:53when the time is right.
00:57:55As for now,
00:57:56I just want you
00:57:57to keep tabs on him,
00:57:58tell me everything
00:57:59he does.
00:58:00I just want to make sure
00:58:02that he's doing his job
00:58:02right while I'm away,
00:58:03you know?
00:58:07Lila,
00:58:07are you ready
00:58:08ready for the trip?
00:58:09Yeah, I was just
00:58:10clearing things up
00:58:11with Dylan,
00:58:12making sure he has
00:58:13everything while I'm away.
00:58:15Good.
00:58:16It's crucial that
00:58:17things are running
00:58:17smoothly here
00:58:18while you've gone.
00:58:19Of course.
00:58:20Don't worry about it,
00:58:21I have everything
00:58:22under control.
00:58:23I made sure
00:58:24that everything
00:58:24works smoothly here
00:58:26while I'm away.
00:58:27And, in fact,
00:58:29I have a trusted ally
00:58:30that will report
00:58:31everything.
00:58:32When I say everything,
00:58:33I mean everything
00:58:34that's going on
00:58:35around here.
00:58:36Really?
00:58:37Who's that?
00:58:38I can't disclose
00:58:39his identity yet.
00:58:41At least not yet.
00:58:43Alright.
00:58:44I understand.
00:58:46Video away, then.
00:58:48As far as things
00:58:49running well here,
00:58:51I trust your judgments.
00:58:56Alexander,
00:58:57I want you to be
00:58:59very, very careful
00:59:00around here.
00:59:02A lot of things
00:59:02can go wrong
00:59:03if you're not on guard.
00:59:05Thanks, Al.
00:59:07You're welcome.
00:59:08Thanks, Al.
00:59:17Alex!
00:59:19Long time no see.
00:59:20How was everything?
00:59:22Oh, it's doing good.
00:59:23Just wanted to tell you
00:59:24it's my favorite dish
00:59:24and you know
00:59:25there's no better place
00:59:26than here.
00:59:27I thought you abandoned me
00:59:28when you took
00:59:29my little sister away.
00:59:31Don't say that.
00:59:32You're hurting my feelings.
00:59:33You know that's not true.
00:59:34I was just
00:59:35really busy recently.
00:59:36By the way,
00:59:37I'm here right now.
00:59:38Fair enough.
00:59:40How's Lila?
00:59:40Everything okay?
00:59:42Oh yeah,
00:59:42she's doing great.
00:59:43She's been doing
00:59:44the wonders of my company.
00:59:45By the way,
00:59:45I'm just amazed
00:59:46at how capable she is.
00:59:48Yeah,
00:59:49I get that,
00:59:49but
00:59:50are you not worried?
00:59:52She's working for you,
00:59:55living with you,
00:59:56but still keeping
00:59:58things casual.
01:00:00Are you worried
01:00:01she's not committing fully?
01:00:03No,
01:00:04I think it's all fine.
01:00:05Maybe it's just not
01:00:06that easy for her
01:00:07to trust when it's the game
01:00:08to open up to somebody.
01:00:11But I can feel
01:00:12that she's working
01:00:13from the heart.
01:00:15I think she wants
01:00:17to do that,
01:00:17not just because
01:00:18she has to do that.
01:00:19Yeah,
01:00:20I get that.
01:00:21But there's more
01:00:22to people than meets the eye.
01:00:24I just hope
01:00:25she doesn't do you wrong.
01:00:26Thank you,
01:00:27James.
01:00:27You're gonna be fine.
01:00:28Let's enjoy the meal.
01:00:30Exactly how much
01:00:31do you know about her?
01:00:33What do you know about her?
01:00:35To be honest,
01:00:37James,
01:00:38I know nothing about her.
01:00:42She doesn't tell me anything.
01:00:44That just,
01:00:45just drives me carcass.
01:00:49I am trying
01:00:51not to think about that
01:00:52too much,
01:00:52but it's just hard.
01:00:54She's doing really
01:00:55good at my company.
01:00:56She helped me
01:00:57sort out a few issues,
01:00:59including the financial
01:00:59issue there.
01:01:01So,
01:01:02damn it.
01:01:03Maybe it's just
01:01:04like you said,
01:01:05you know,
01:01:06she'll open up
01:01:06when she's ready.
01:01:09But,
01:01:09until then,
01:01:11do take care of her
01:01:12and stay open-minded.
01:01:15Can you please tell me
01:01:16what exactly
01:01:18happened to her?
01:01:19What's her story, James?
01:01:21It's not
01:01:22my story to tell.
01:01:26Yeah,
01:01:26well,
01:01:26sure.
01:01:31One down,
01:01:32two to go.
01:01:35you're a strong,
01:01:38independent woman,
01:01:39Lila.
01:01:40You're a queen.
01:01:42You're not gonna let
01:01:43any man mistreat you again.
01:01:45Jaden,
01:01:46you did it first.
01:01:47He broke my heart.
01:01:49He shattered my life
01:01:50into pieces.
01:01:51I'm going to make you
01:01:52face the consequences.
01:01:55Feel the pain
01:01:56that I felt
01:01:56and be as miserable
01:01:57as he made me feel.
01:01:58Jaden,
01:02:03Jaden,
01:02:04did you ever love me?
01:02:07Did you ever think of me
01:02:08after we broke up?
01:02:10Or was it all for show?
01:02:11Remember why you're
01:02:19doing this,
01:02:19Lila.
01:02:21Remember
01:02:21what brought you here.
01:02:26You're gonna prove
01:02:27to everybody
01:02:28and to yourself
01:02:29that no matter
01:02:30what life throws
01:02:31at you,
01:02:32you're gonna
01:02:33crawl out of it.
01:02:34How you been doing?
01:02:37Great.
01:02:39I'm just trying
01:02:39to meditate.
01:02:41Can I have some
01:02:42alone time, please?
01:02:44Yeah, sure.
01:02:45I just,
01:02:46you didn't eat
01:02:47anything today.
01:02:48So I asked a chef
01:02:49to make something
01:02:50special for you.
01:02:51It's downstairs.
01:02:53Cool.
01:02:53I appreciate it.
01:02:54Now,
01:02:55could I have some silence,
01:02:56please?
01:02:56Can I know
01:03:03how you exactly
01:03:04met James?
01:03:05I think I need
01:03:06to know everything.
01:03:08Like,
01:03:08now,
01:03:08when,
01:03:10and why
01:03:10it happened.
01:03:12What does that
01:03:13have to do with anything?
01:03:14Why are you asking me?
01:03:15That's all I said.
01:03:17I told you,
01:03:17me and James
01:03:18are just friends.
01:03:21That's true.
01:03:22I just,
01:03:23I don't feel
01:03:25that it's true.
01:03:26for as James
01:03:27saying,
01:03:28I don't have to
01:03:28snubbing around.
01:03:30And now you're
01:03:30saying you're just
01:03:31friends.
01:03:33Is something
01:03:34happening between
01:03:35two of you?
01:03:36Uh,
01:03:37well,
01:03:37if there is,
01:03:38you're gonna find out.
01:03:40Soon.
01:03:44Sure.
01:03:54Remember,
01:03:54it's a huge deal.
01:03:55don't mess it up.
01:03:57I've heard that
01:03:57so many times,
01:03:58Alexander.
01:03:59Why can't you just
01:04:00trust me?
01:04:01If you don't trust me,
01:04:02you could just go
01:04:03instead of me.
01:04:03You know I'm not
01:04:04doubting your confidence,
01:04:05right?
01:04:06It's just,
01:04:07give it your risk.
01:04:09And I know that.
01:04:10All right.
01:04:11You can handle this.
01:04:19Remember,
01:04:19I believe in you.
01:04:21You can do this.
01:04:23Is everything
01:04:24all right?
01:04:25Yeah.
01:04:26Yeah,
01:04:26it's fine.
01:04:27Yeah,
01:04:28everything's fine.
01:04:28I just need to get
01:04:29going,
01:04:29that's all.
01:04:32You imagine he was
01:04:33caught in snow,
01:04:34James.
01:04:34Maybe the time it snows,
01:04:35do you remember him?
01:04:36What happened?
01:04:38Uh,
01:04:38where is this coming from?
01:04:40You didn't answer
01:04:41the question.
01:04:42Look,
01:04:42it's not even worth
01:04:43discussing.
01:04:43It's not a big deal.
01:04:44We just met in the snow.
01:04:46That's all.
01:04:47Sure.
01:04:48Look,
01:04:49I really need to get going.
01:04:50Um,
01:04:50I'll call you when I get there
01:04:51and it's just gonna be
01:04:52a few days,
01:04:53so.
01:04:54All right.
01:04:55Be careful.
01:05:05Something was wrong,
01:05:06you can't realize.
01:05:09Something just
01:05:10doesn't feel right.
01:05:12Your gaze is caught.
01:05:14Is it everything like that?
01:05:17I've just mentioned it now.
01:05:22I don't know
01:05:23to give a sake.
01:05:28So,
01:05:28Michelle,
01:05:29tell me about yourself.
01:05:31Where did you go to school?
01:05:34I went to Stanford,
01:05:35actually.
01:05:36Great times there.
01:05:38And what about relationships?
01:05:39Have you been married?
01:05:41I was once.
01:05:43It didn't really work out.
01:05:45But then I met Jaden
01:05:46and we've been together
01:05:48since college.
01:05:50Whenever he needed me,
01:05:51I was there for him.
01:05:53I see.
01:05:54What about you, James?
01:05:56Have you ever been married?
01:05:57No,
01:05:58no,
01:05:58I,
01:05:59uh,
01:05:59my sole focus
01:06:01has been on the restaurants
01:06:02since I've started it.
01:06:03What about love?
01:06:06Have you ever been in love?
01:06:08Yeah,
01:06:08once.
01:06:10It happened during the snowfall.
01:06:12Oh,
01:06:13tell me more about that.
01:06:13That's not
01:06:15dwell on the past.
01:06:17Tonight is about us.
01:06:18Oh.
01:06:20Tell me,
01:06:20what,
01:06:21what do you like to do?
01:06:22I love
01:06:23shopping.
01:06:25It's my therapy.
01:06:26I'm guessing that's why
01:06:27I saw you at the boutique.
01:06:29You're right.
01:06:30It's my favorite thing
01:06:31to do in the whole world.
01:06:33Besides
01:06:33being with me?
01:06:34Oh,
01:06:35James,
01:06:35stop.
01:06:36Oh,
01:06:37what was that?
01:06:38Did you,
01:06:39did you just
01:06:40reject me?
01:06:41Oh,
01:06:41no,
01:06:42I could never.
01:06:45Then let's
01:06:45not waste any more time.
01:06:47Cheers.
01:06:48Cheers.
01:07:01Hello?
01:07:02Check out email.
01:07:03Picture sent.
01:07:05Good job.
01:07:09Keep on coming.
01:07:10We're almost done here.
01:07:12And remember
01:07:12to not
01:07:13get caught.
01:07:15If you raise any suspicions,
01:07:16you're on your own here.
01:07:28Hello?
01:07:29Lila,
01:07:30how was your business trip?
01:07:32Doing well.
01:07:33I am confident
01:07:34we will seal the deal
01:07:35in both our names soon.
01:07:37Got rocky at one point,
01:07:39but I managed to get it
01:07:41out of control.
01:07:42Eventually.
01:07:43Nice to hear that.
01:07:44Congratulations, Lila.
01:07:46Well done.
01:07:48I, uh,
01:07:49I missed you.
01:07:51How about we grab a late-night dinner
01:07:53if you get back?
01:07:54Oh,
01:07:54I missed you too.
01:07:55Oh,
01:07:55I missed you too.
01:07:55But I'm kind of tired
01:07:57after the trip.
01:07:59You sound different.
01:08:02It's really hard to recognize
01:08:03the girl who sort me, uh,
01:08:05salmon with asparagus
01:08:06at Jim's place.
01:08:07You are so right.
01:08:10The old Lila is gone.
01:08:13What's exactly your story?
01:08:15What's your past?
01:08:16What happened to you?
01:08:17I need to know everything.
01:08:20All this time,
01:08:22I was trusting you,
01:08:23but now you're just making it
01:08:24too difficult for me
01:08:25to keep trusting you.
01:08:26When you get back,
01:08:28you tell me everything.
01:08:30Everything about yourself.
01:08:32Or,
01:08:34otherwise,
01:08:35you're out of my business.
01:08:36Calm down.
01:08:38I'll tell you everything
01:08:39you need to know.
01:08:40Honestly,
01:08:41I'm surprised you lasted this long.
01:08:43I'm really impressed.
01:08:44Yeah,
01:08:45it's just how you said.
01:08:46It must be out of my mind.
01:08:50But, uh,
01:08:51maybe it's just how crazy
01:08:52I am about you.
01:08:53Don't say that.
01:08:55Look,
01:08:55I understand that you're upset,
01:08:56but
01:08:57you need to chill.
01:08:59I have a lot of good news
01:09:01for you.
01:09:02Speaking of good news,
01:09:04I have even bigger
01:09:06things to share with you
01:09:08when I'm back.
01:09:09All right?
01:09:10I have a lot to discuss
01:09:11when you'll be back.
01:09:14Oh,
01:09:15I didn't mention
01:09:16this guy,
01:09:17Jaden Phillips,
01:09:19the new head of finance.
01:09:20He just started today.
01:09:21All right.
01:09:22Sure.
01:09:23Be careful.
01:09:25Be careful.
01:09:31Thank you,
01:09:34Mr. Alexander.
01:09:35I am really excited
01:09:37to be here.
01:09:38Thank you for giving me
01:09:39the opportunity.
01:09:40The pleasure is ours,
01:09:41Jaden.
01:09:42The application
01:09:43really caught our eyes.
01:09:44It actually was handpicked
01:09:45by my secretary.
01:09:46Wow.

01:09:48thank you.
01:09:49I would like to
01:09:50thank her personally.

01:09:53I didn't see her
01:09:53at the front desk
01:09:54when I came in.
01:09:55Well,
01:09:56she is away
01:09:58on a business trip.

01:10:09to start
01:10:09will be shown to you.

01:10:13Thank you, sir.
01:10:13I hope
01:10:14I don't give you
01:10:15any regrets.
01:10:16Nice to hear that,

01:10:47Okay.
01:10:47Yeah.

01:10:58I'm heading out
01:10:59for a little bit.
01:11:00Again?
01:11:01Mitch,
01:11:01you're going out
01:11:02a lot lately.
01:11:03What's going on?
01:11:04Nothing major.
01:11:05I'm just going
01:11:06to see some friends.
01:11:07Friends?
01:11:08Who are these friends?
01:11:09You've been very secretive
01:11:10relatively.
01:11:10You know that?
01:11:11What's really going on?
01:11:13Why do you always
01:11:13have to interrogate me?
01:11:14I do have a life
01:11:15outside this house.
01:11:16I know that.
01:11:17I just want to say
01:11:17hello to your friends.
01:11:19You want to go with me?
01:11:21That's a little bit
01:11:22crazy, no?
01:11:24Or are you just
01:11:24like insecure?
01:11:26You're calling me
01:11:26an insecure?
01:11:28Huh?
01:11:28Are you gaslighting me?
01:11:29I don't know
01:11:30where you're going
01:11:30every night.
01:11:32Talk about life.
01:11:33What's your problem?
01:11:34We're not even married.
01:11:35Like, you married her,
01:11:36not me.
01:11:38Don't forget that.
01:11:39I want to have you
01:11:41treat me like
01:11:41a housewife.
01:11:42You know I didn't mean
01:11:43that, baby.
01:11:44You know that, right?
01:11:46I won't tolerate you
01:11:48trying to tell me
01:11:49what I can and can't do.
01:11:50Mr. Diligent, I see.
01:12:02Putting us to shame
01:12:03with your work ethic.
01:12:05Nah, man.
01:12:05Just trying to say
01:12:06on top of things, man.
01:12:07You know,
01:12:08Alex has been
01:12:08keeping an eye on you.
01:12:10Really?
01:12:10Yeah.
01:12:11He's starting to think
01:12:11you're secretly a workaholic.
01:12:14Nah, I'm just trying
01:12:15to keep the ship
01:12:16sail smoothly, man.
01:12:17I vouched for you, too.
01:12:18I said that you're
01:12:19on top of everything
01:12:20and you're a great guy.
01:12:22Man, that's sweet.
01:12:23I'm just trying
01:12:24to keep the money coming.
01:12:25Man's got 80, you know.
01:12:27Of course,
01:12:27you're right there.
01:12:28So, uh,
01:12:29how was your last
01:12:30place of work?
01:12:31Well, there were
01:12:32some minor issues,
01:12:33so I had to leave.
01:12:34Minor issue?
01:12:36Regarding what?
01:12:37Yeah, well, for one,
01:12:38they didn't have
01:12:38a private executive lounge.
01:12:40Ah, okay.
01:12:41Definitely a serious issue.
01:12:43Right, yeah.
01:12:44I knew you'll understand.
01:12:46All right, well,
01:12:47uh, have a good afternoon
01:12:48and if you need anything,
01:12:49please feel free
01:12:50to let me know.
01:12:51Thank you, man.
01:12:51I appreciate it.
01:12:52No problem.
01:12:56There's something fishy
01:12:57about Jaden.
01:12:58I don't think
01:12:58I can trust him.
01:13:01Absolutely, Lila.
01:13:02I'll get back to you
01:13:03as soon as I find anything.
01:13:05When are you
01:13:06coming back to work?
01:13:12Jamie, what's wrong?
01:13:15Michelle, we need to talk.
01:13:17Talk about what?
01:13:19That hug.
01:13:20It was a goodbye.
01:13:22Goodbye?
01:13:23James, what are you talking about?
01:13:25I know you are
01:13:26in a relationship with Jaden
01:13:27and have been living with him
01:13:29all this time.
01:13:33Why does that matter?
01:13:35What matters is that
01:13:36I don't want to be a part
01:13:37of what you and Jaden
01:13:38have going on.
01:13:38I'm done.
01:13:39Done?
01:13:39We can talk about this.
01:13:43Just please tell me why.
01:13:45You're living with him, Michelle.
01:13:47I can't top that
01:13:48and honestly,
01:13:48I don't want to.
01:13:50Then why did you go along
01:13:51with all of this?
01:13:52The dating,
01:13:52the conversations?
01:13:54Why?
01:13:55I was ready to leave him
01:13:56and start a new life with you.
01:13:58As to why,
01:13:59you'll find out soon enough.
01:14:01And I'm really honored
01:14:02you're thinking about
01:14:03leaving your man for me.
01:14:04But you don't have to.
01:14:05That's too much, really.
01:14:08James, what are you saying?
01:14:10One thing you can do for me
01:14:12is to leave my restaurant
01:14:13a five-star review.
01:14:15Let's make it a deal
01:14:16for all the free meals
01:14:17so none of us
01:14:19feels bad about this.
01:14:22I'm going to do this, James.
01:14:23I'm so sorry
01:14:38that I dragged you into this.
01:14:40I know it has nothing
01:14:41to do with you,
01:14:42but you did it all for me.
01:14:44No, it's okay, Vidal.
01:14:46Thanks to you,
01:14:46I went on a date
01:14:47for the first time
01:14:48in a long time.
01:14:48I felt rusty.
01:14:50Since you're so thankful,
01:14:51how about you swing by
01:14:52the restaurant sometime
01:14:53when you're back?
01:14:54Of course I will.
01:14:56James,
01:14:57I've listened to
01:14:58older recordings.
01:14:59Thank you
01:15:00for doing this.
01:15:01I know it wasn't easy
01:15:02for you.
01:15:03All I wanted for you
01:15:04was to be happy.
01:15:05I hope you find
01:15:06the closure you need
01:15:07and you deserve
01:15:09a happy life.
01:15:10James,
01:15:11why didn't you say
01:15:12anything about
01:15:13your feelings for me?
01:15:15Some things
01:15:15are just better
01:15:16left unsaid.
01:15:17You're already
01:15:17going through so much
01:15:18and I just wanted
01:15:20you to be happy.
01:15:21That's why I thought
01:15:22it would be best
01:15:23for you to live
01:15:24without a chance.
01:15:26Even though
01:15:27I couldn't see
01:15:28through you,
01:15:29all you really
01:15:29cared about
01:15:30was my well-being.
01:15:31You made me feel
01:15:32better about
01:15:33what Jaden
01:15:33has put me through.
01:15:34And I feel so secure
01:15:36when you're around me.
01:15:37James,
01:15:38I'll come see you
01:15:39when I'm back.
01:15:41It's a lot for us
01:15:41to process right now.
01:15:43Good night.
01:15:44Good night.
01:15:45Good morning, Dylan.
01:16:15Lila.
01:16:16You're mistaken
01:16:16about Jaden.
01:16:18His previous employer
01:16:19didn't have anything
01:16:20good to say about him
01:16:21at all.
01:16:22Excellent.
01:16:23Work.
01:16:24Report this directly
01:16:25to Alexander.
01:16:26Let him handle this.
01:16:27Understood.
01:16:28I'll take care of it.
01:16:29John.
01:16:31And I'm coming back.
01:16:32Michelle?
01:16:44What's this?
01:16:48Jaden,
01:16:48I can explain.
01:16:49Explain?
01:16:51These pictures?
01:16:52These recordings?
01:16:53What else is there
01:16:54to explain?
01:16:55I was saying.
01:16:57You have to let me explain.
01:16:59You played me
01:17:00like a fool, huh?
01:17:02All the hangouts,
01:17:03late night outs
01:17:04that I've asked you about,
01:17:06you always said
01:17:06you'd just go out
01:17:07with your friends.
01:17:08Is that what it is?
01:17:09You've been cheating
01:17:09on my back?
01:17:12Please,
01:17:12let me explain.
01:17:14I left my wife for you.
01:17:16Hmm?
01:17:16I left Lila
01:17:17for you.
01:17:19And this is how
01:17:19you repay me?
01:17:21You've cheated on my back?
01:17:22Don't blame me
01:17:24for the failure
01:17:25of your marriage.
01:17:27You decided to let her go.
01:17:28You decided to be unfaithful.
01:17:30And so what if I
01:17:31go and check out
01:17:33another man?
01:17:34It's not like we're married.
01:17:35I have freedom
01:17:36to do whatever it is
01:17:37I desire.
01:17:38So spare me nonsense.
01:17:41Is that all
01:17:41you have to say?
01:17:43What else is there to say?
01:17:44This is not
01:17:46what it looks like.
01:17:47Pack your things
01:17:48and leave.
01:17:50Get out!
01:17:52Alexander,
01:18:03we need to talk.
01:18:05Yes, Lila.
01:18:06We should talk.
01:18:08I knew nothing about you
01:18:10and yet entrusted you.
01:18:12I gave you everything
01:18:12to fall in love with me.
01:18:14And then I looked
01:18:15into your eyes
01:18:15right before you left
01:18:16and I realized
01:18:17I already lost the battle.
01:18:19There's something
01:18:20changed inside.
01:18:21I've been carrying
01:18:22an enormous amount
01:18:24of secrets
01:18:25and it's been crushing
01:18:27my soul.
01:18:28What was here to talk,
01:18:29Lila?
01:18:29What happened?
01:18:31It's Jaden.
01:18:33He betrayed me.
01:18:34Alexander.
01:18:35He cheated on me.
01:18:37He broke my heart
01:18:38and he shattered
01:18:40everything that was
01:18:41left of me.
01:18:43He's...
01:18:43I'm so sorry.
01:18:49It must be
01:18:50incredibly painful.
01:18:52It was.
01:18:53He just can't let it go.
01:18:55I was here to help you.
01:18:57You're not alone.
01:18:58You don't have to carry
01:18:59this alone anymore.
01:19:01You can't help me,
01:19:02Alexander.
01:19:03I know that you're
01:19:04a good man,
01:19:05but I just can't
01:19:05give you what you want
01:19:07of me right now
01:19:08until I make
01:19:10Jaden
01:19:10suffer for what
01:19:13he did to me.
01:19:13I will not let go
01:19:14of my past.
01:19:16You don't have to do
01:19:16it that way.
01:19:19This revenge
01:19:19will give you nothing.
01:19:21Just let it go.
01:19:23It's too late.
01:19:24I can't let it go.
01:19:27I already started
01:19:28the journey of revenge
01:19:29and I will finish it
01:19:30no matter what.
01:19:32You're better than that.
01:19:33You don't have to do this.
01:19:34And I'm here.
01:19:34I can erase all the pain
01:19:35he cost you.
01:19:36Until I make
01:19:38Jaden Phillips pay,
01:19:39I will not stop.
01:19:44Jaden Phillips?
01:19:46My new head of finance?
01:19:48Yeah.
01:19:50Jaden Phillips.
01:19:52Your new head of finance.
01:19:58Jaden?
01:19:59You come to my office, please.
01:20:02Yes, right now.
01:20:06You wanted to see me, sir?
01:20:08Yes, Jaden.
01:20:09And I'd like you
01:20:10to meet someone.
01:20:13Lila!
01:20:14What are you doing here?
01:20:16Hello, Jaden.
01:20:17Surprise, surprise.
01:20:19I'm Alexander's secretary.
01:20:20And a major shareholder
01:20:23for company's new venture.
01:20:25It was actually I
01:20:25who recommended you
01:20:26for this job.
01:20:27Wait.
01:20:28Well, how?
01:20:30Right now,
01:20:31Lila is much more
01:20:32than just a secretary.
01:20:34As you've heard,
01:20:34she's one of the major
01:20:35shareholders
01:20:36of our new company.
01:20:38So you'd better speak
01:20:39to her very carefully.
01:20:41A shareholder?
01:20:42How did that happen?
01:20:43You know what?
01:20:44That's not important.
01:20:45We're here to talk about you.
01:20:46Now let's just cut
01:20:47straight to the chase.
01:20:48We found some pretty
01:20:50shady records
01:20:51from your previous employer.
01:20:53Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:20:54That...
01:20:55How?
01:20:55That's not true.
01:20:58It is true.
01:21:01And now, unfortunately,
01:21:02we won't have to let you go.
01:21:05Lila,
01:21:06how did you come here?
01:21:08I thought you were a waitress.
01:21:11It's nothing personal.
01:21:12I'm sorry,
01:21:14but we won't be needing
01:21:15your services here.
01:21:17And I trust Lila's judgments.
01:21:20I think now, Jaden,
01:21:21it's just time for you to leave.
01:21:24Oh, and by the way,
01:21:25I heard about your little
01:21:26fight with Michelle.
01:21:27Oh, I'm so sorry about that.
01:21:28You can go now.
01:21:30Get out of here.
01:21:31You're nothing but evil, Lila.
01:21:36He's so pathetic.
01:21:37Who's there?
01:21:47Your worst nightmare.
01:21:49You?
01:21:50What are you doing here?
01:21:51Huh?
01:21:52Haven't you done enough?
01:21:54Oh, look at you.
01:21:56You're such a mess.
01:21:58I never thought I'd see you
01:21:59like this.
01:22:01Oh, actually,
01:22:02that's a lie.
01:22:03That is all I ever wanted
01:22:05ever since you put me out
01:22:07in the snow
01:22:08all by myself.
01:22:10I wanted to see you suffer.
01:22:13I waited,
01:22:14and I saw you lose
01:22:16everything you love
01:22:17and everyone you love,
01:22:20including that little mistress
01:22:21of yours.
01:22:22Such a shame, though.
01:22:23I didn't think that this
01:22:24would happen so fast.
01:22:26But here we are.
01:22:28You are a bitch.
01:22:30You deserve nothing
01:22:33but betrayal.
01:22:34You always wanted
01:22:35to be the perfect one,
01:22:36and you made me feel less.
01:22:38Everyone was always saying,
01:22:40Lila, Lila,
01:22:41the perfect one.
01:22:43Wow.
01:22:44Is that why you hated me?
01:22:46Because I made you feel less?
01:22:49You are an asshole,
01:22:51and you deserve
01:22:53everything that's happened to you.
01:22:55You're sick, Lila.
01:22:56You're sick.
01:22:57And you're drunk.
01:22:59Don't put that egg.
01:23:00Oh, I have an idea.
01:23:02Why don't you ask Michelle
01:23:03to come help me
01:23:04with this mess?
01:23:06Oh, sorry.
01:23:06My bad.
01:23:07I forgot.
01:23:08She left you.
01:23:10Run in hell.
01:23:12I'm sure there's enough
01:23:13place for both of us.
01:23:16Ciao now.
01:23:20I never thought
01:23:28that we'd be here
01:23:29together like this.
01:23:30Yeah, look at you, Lila.
01:23:32All grown up,
01:23:33and a big child
01:23:33in the corporate world.
01:23:34Thank you, James.
01:23:36I really appreciate
01:23:37your support.
01:23:38I had nobody to go to
01:23:39when I was left out there
01:23:41in the snow
01:23:41all by myself,
01:23:42and I had nobody
01:23:43to help me.
01:23:44And you helped
01:23:45pick up the pieces
01:23:46of my life.
01:23:47It's all right, Lila.
01:23:48We're a family now.
01:23:49We're a family now.
01:23:50No, I'll always admire
01:23:51your intelligence.
01:23:53I'm really glad
01:23:54that now I'm part
01:23:54of my business.
01:23:56Alexander,
01:23:57thank you for saying
01:23:58something I didn't see
01:23:59in myself.
01:24:02You helped me a bunch.
01:24:05I understand everything.
01:24:07I hope you will heal
01:24:07from all the pain
01:24:08Jaden caused you.
01:24:10Let that be
01:24:12a new chapter
01:24:13of your life, right?
01:24:18Without the both of you,
01:24:19it would have been
01:24:20a totally different story
01:24:21for me.
01:24:28That day
01:24:29when I met you
01:24:30under the snow
01:24:31should have been
01:24:33the surest day
01:24:33of my life.
01:24:34I was so sure
01:24:36that we would
01:24:37end up together.
01:24:41If only you'd love me
01:24:42as much as I did.
01:24:45We would have kids
01:24:46and I'd cook
01:24:47your terrible meals.
01:24:52I used everyone
01:24:53around me
01:24:54to hurt you.
01:24:57But you're still
01:24:58the only one
01:24:58that I've ever loved.
01:25:00And now
01:25:01we're going to face
01:25:03loneliness
01:25:03for the rest
01:25:03of our lives.
01:25:05They all say
01:25:05that I'm strong
01:25:06and this is the life
01:25:08that I have to live now.
01:25:14I will find peace.
