Escorting The Heiress
Transcript
00:00:00You
00:00:04Did you get me an escort? Enjoy
00:00:08Two grand, she's enough, right? And um, keep the teacher. I know it's been five years, but does she really not remember me?
00:00:17She's not just a random girl. She's Serena Monroe, and she thinks that my family killed her mother.
00:00:23Before she sees me as the Jessie Ross, I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:00:27It's Monroe. Why didn't you tell me that your husband was, um, so handsome?
00:00:36Where do you live? Fuck, I just pulled her over to some random neighborhood. I don't actually live here.
00:00:41What the fuck is going on? Jessie Ross.
00:00:44How do you always end up being at the right place at the right time?
00:00:48Because I only do it.
00:00:52Are there any other secrets you're hiding from me, Jessie Ross?
00:00:55I guess we'll find out.
00:00:57Who will find out, Jessie Ross?
00:00:59Who will find out, Jessie Ross?
00:01:00Who will find out, Jessie Ross?
00:01:02I don't know.
00:01:07Thank you so much.
00:01:08Okay, bye-bye.
00:01:10Hi. I'm looking for my fiancé. His name's Ken Snyder. What room is he in?
00:01:29I'm sorry, miss. I can't provide the information of our guests, even if he is your fiancé.
00:01:36Listen, I know for a fact that he's upstairs screwing another woman.
00:01:40I'm going to tell you something else. That woman is probably my half-sister.
00:01:45I'm supposed to get married to him next week, and we haven't even had sex because he said that he's saving himself for marriage.
00:01:51Now, I need concrete evidence that this asshole is cheating on me, so what do you say?
00:01:55Can you help a sister out?
00:01:59You can get this for me.
00:02:01Of course not.
00:02:02Oh, man.
00:02:07Oh, man. I wish I could go with her.
00:02:10Oh, baby.
00:02:15I'm coming.
00:02:16Okay.
00:02:17Oh, my God.
00:02:24Baby, that was so good.
00:02:26Oh, gosh.
00:02:27But it just makes me even more pissed knowing that you're getting married to Serena next week.
00:02:31I really can't stand the thought of you having sex with her.
00:02:34How are you going to get out of fucking her now?
00:02:36I know, sweetheart.
00:02:37But I'm doing this for us.
00:02:40Serena's mother stated in her will that she has to be married by 28 to take over the company.
00:02:45She's turning 28 in a week.
00:02:47This is just temporary.
00:02:49Once I take her company, I'll divorce her.
00:02:52That you and I can be together.
00:02:54You promise?
00:02:55I promise you.
00:02:57I won't touch her.
00:02:58I'll just tell her I can't get it up or something.
00:03:03You two are disgusting.
00:03:10Here, take a shower.
00:03:13What the fuck, Serena?
00:03:14What the hell are you doing here?
00:03:16You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiance?
00:03:19Really, Carol?
00:03:20You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiance?
00:03:23And Ken, my sister?
00:03:25Get off your high horse, Serena.
00:03:27Your father arranged our engagement so you can keep your mother's company.
00:03:30It's not like we're in love.
00:03:31That may be true, but I did trust you.
00:03:33I'm not marrying a cheater.
00:03:35The engagement is off.
00:03:36Good luck finding a husband in less than a week.
00:03:39You can say goodbye to your company.
00:03:42What the fuck, Serena?
00:03:44I'm never letting go of my mother's company.
00:03:47Ever.
00:03:48Test me again, and you'll see what I'm capable of.
00:03:56That bitch.
00:04:01Lynn, could you meet me at the Ross Hotel bar?
00:04:04Now?
00:04:06And then he has the audacity to tell me I'm a boner kill.
00:04:12Okay, Serena, I get it.
00:04:13You got cheated on.
00:04:15But honestly, drinking is not going to help.
00:04:18Something else will.
00:04:20What are you talking about, Lynn?
00:04:22I got you a surprise.
00:04:24It's waiting for you in room 1011.
00:04:26Or should I say, he is...
00:04:30Did you get me an escort?
00:04:32Did you get me an escort?
00:04:38Did you get me an escort?
00:04:42Lynn, I don't need an escort.
00:04:44What I need right now is to find a way that I'm going to get married in a week so I can take over my mother's company.
00:04:49Come on, Serena, you're too stressed.
00:04:51You need to let loose.
00:04:52Have some fun first.
00:04:54I think our ideas of fun don't align.
00:04:58Just go.
00:05:00Have some fun with him and relax.
00:05:02I'm 1011.
00:05:03Trust me.
00:05:04Go.
00:05:04Go.
00:05:05Okay.
00:05:07This is crazy.
00:05:11Knock when you get there.
00:05:12He'll be waiting for you.
00:05:14Check out us at 11am.
00:05:16Enjoy.
00:05:16This is fucking crazy.
00:05:37It's you.
00:05:45What's your name again?
00:05:46It's you.
00:05:49Wow.
00:05:50Where did they find you?
00:06:00How did you find me?
00:06:01I didn't find you.
00:06:03Blinded.
00:06:04I'll go.
00:06:04That's okay.
00:06:09Hello.
00:06:10You there yet?
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:11And he is super hot.
00:06:14Thank you, bestie.
00:06:15Have fun.
00:06:19How did you either...
00:06:21Shh.
00:06:21Just...
00:06:22No talking.
00:06:24Let's just enjoy each other's company.
00:06:25Hey.
00:06:26Hello?
00:06:37What do you mean, no show?
00:06:38She said she was there already.
00:06:40Well, I've been here for 30 minutes and no one is here.
00:06:42I'm leaving.
00:06:43Charging you with $500 cancellation fee.
00:06:45Goodbye.
00:06:46Hello.
00:06:46Hello?
00:06:47Hello?
00:06:48If she's not there, then where the hell is she?
00:06:52Okay.
00:06:53One second.
00:06:53Um...
00:06:55Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:24Oh, God, what happened last night.
00:07:25Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:27Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:27Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:29Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:29Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:29Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:30Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:31Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:32Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:33Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:34Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:35Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:36Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:37Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:38Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:39Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:40Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:41Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:42Oh, God, what happened last night?
00:07:43I have to go.
00:07:56Leaving without telling me your name again?
00:08:01Again?
00:08:03Again?
00:08:05Um, I've never actually done this before.
00:08:09I know it's been five years, but does she really not remember me?
00:08:14Your pocket's pretty great.
00:08:15All right, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
00:08:20Your phone, too.
00:08:24Your jacket.
00:08:25That's real nice.
00:08:27I want that, too.
00:08:28Really?
00:08:40I'm sorry.
00:08:41Oh, ouch.
00:08:42You got jumped, huh?
00:08:44Yeah.
00:08:46Was it because you were wearing expensive clothes?
00:08:51No, I can't.
00:08:52Just take it.
00:08:52My friend's around the corner.
00:08:59Oh, and next time you're in the neighborhood,
00:09:01don't wear nice stuff.
00:09:03You're going to get targeted.
00:09:05Hey, what's your name again?
00:09:06Thank you for the lovely night, and I should be going.
00:09:19Wow, it really is you.
00:09:22Smile for the camera, sis.
00:09:26Smile for the camera, sis.
00:09:27I heard you were drinking yourself to death at the bar downstairs.
00:09:33Looks like you had some fun.
00:09:35I can already see the headlines now.
00:09:37Heiress of Monroe Construction cheats on her fiancé with a cowboy?
00:09:42Who are you to talk about cheating?
00:09:44I just caught you in bed with my fiancé.
00:09:46Yeah, well, nobody knows about that, do they?
00:09:49Just wait until I upload these photos.
00:09:50You will never be named CEO.
00:09:52What the fuck are you doing?
00:09:59Are you an idiot?
00:10:00I've already uploaded all these to iCloud.
00:10:03Hmm, what a coincidence.
00:10:06So have I.
00:10:09You sneaky bitch!
00:10:11At least I have clothes on.
00:10:12What do you think is going to be worse?
00:10:14Your nudes with Ken?
00:10:15Or me just in a room with man?
00:10:19I'm telling Father about this.
00:10:20This is not the last of me.
00:10:22Ha!
00:10:28I'm sorry you had to see that.
00:10:30But nice move, not gonna lie.
00:10:33You handled it well.
00:10:35Is it true you have a fiancé?
00:10:37Ex-fiancé?
00:10:39Ken Snyder?
00:10:41The heir of Snyder Electronics?
00:10:43That's the one.
00:10:44I'm taking over my mother's company in three days,
00:10:46and that's all he really cares about.
00:10:48Well, that Snyder guy would be a fool
00:10:50to care more about a company than you.
00:10:52Well, anyway,
00:10:54thank you for helping me out.
00:10:57My name is Serena Monroe.
00:10:59What's yours?
00:11:00Jesse.
00:11:01Jesse Ross.
00:11:02As in CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:11:12Jesse Ross.
00:11:14As in CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:11:18Hey, Mom.
00:11:29How are you?
00:11:30Better now that you're here.
00:11:36The Rosses just won't give up, will they?
00:11:42I told them a million times to leave us alone.
00:11:45You're sick for God's sake.
00:11:47They don't care, sweetie.
00:11:48All the Rosses see is a great opportunity to acquire a blooming company from a dying woman.
00:11:57Don't say that, Mom.
00:11:58Don't worry, Serena.
00:11:59I'm leaving the company to you, even if it's the last thing that I do.
00:12:05It's too hard to do alone.
00:12:08Promise me that you'll find someone kind, someone you trust.
00:12:14Marry him and take over the company when you turn 28.
00:12:18And keep our legacy.
00:12:22No, just don't leave me, Mom.
00:12:24Promise me, Serena.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:42Jesse Ross.
00:12:45Stay the fuck away from me.
00:12:47I'm sorry.
00:12:47Did I say something?
00:12:49My mother was Pauline Monroe.
00:12:52Seven years ago, your family tried to get her to sell her company while she was dying from cancer.
00:12:56Okay, hold on a second.
00:12:58What are you talking about?
00:12:59My mother's company was her life's work.
00:13:01And you tried to steal it from her.
00:13:03And that killed her.
00:13:09Serena Williams.
00:13:11What?
00:13:12And don't say you're sorry.
00:13:13That's not going to bring her back.
00:13:14I'm not Jesse Ross.
00:13:18What do you mean you're not Jesse Ross?
00:13:24I mean, I'm not that Jesse Ross.
00:13:27I mean, it's a pretty common name, no?
00:13:29How can I forget?
00:13:30He's an escort.
00:13:32How could he be that Jesse Ross?
00:13:34Right.
00:13:35Totally.
00:13:37That name is just really triggering for me.
00:13:39Besides, this is the Ross Hotel.
00:13:42If you were the real Jesse Ross, somebody would have recognized you.
00:13:48Oh, good morning, Mr. Ross.
00:13:55How did she know who you are?
00:13:58I work at this hotel quite often.
00:14:02I mean, I work at many different hotels.
00:14:04Of course, of course, due to your profession.
00:14:07I'm sure you have to do this a lot.
00:14:09Anyway, speaking of that, did Lynn already pay you?
00:14:13Excuse me?
00:14:14Oh, oh my God.
00:14:15I'm so sorry.
00:14:18Two grand should be home, right?
00:14:20And keep the teacher.
00:14:22Hold on.
00:14:31Does she think I'm an escort?
00:14:42Have a good rest of your day.
00:14:44Um, do you want me to call you an Uber or something?
00:14:48No, that's all right.
00:14:49I'll take the subway.
00:14:51Subway?
00:14:52Isn't he the owner of this hotel?
00:14:54Well, um, thanks for the great night.
00:14:58You're welcome.
00:14:59Bye.
00:15:00Bye.
00:15:12Morning, boss.
00:15:17Oh.
00:15:20Got some news for you.
00:15:21The franchise mall is delayed in construction again.
00:15:26Same problem?
00:15:27The taco stand lady refuses to leave.
00:15:30We'll have to force her to be a mover if we want to continue construction.
00:15:37All right, let's go.
00:15:38Hey, so I'm going to need this whole truck that moves.
00:15:50You listen to me, you copper asshole.
00:15:52I'm not going nowhere, okay?
00:15:54I've been here for over 10 years.
00:15:57And if you want me to go, it's going to be over my dead body, okay?
00:16:01How much would it cost to buy out the entire business?
00:16:05What?
00:16:05I mean, everybody has a price, right?
00:16:07You asshole!
00:16:08Do you think everything can be bought with money?
00:16:11Look at this stupid idiot!
00:16:13I don't think he wants me to come.
00:16:16I'm from you to be with somebody.
00:16:18All night, it's foul.
00:16:19It's absolutely foul.
00:16:20I don't know where she found this person.
00:16:22A shameless bitch.
00:16:23Carol told us that you were out the whole night at a hotel with another man?
00:16:29You have tarnished our family's name!
00:16:34Monroe is my family name.
00:16:36You're just a homewrecker turned stepmom,
00:16:39living in the house that my mom bought with the money that my mom earned.
00:16:44So I suggest you shut your mouth, or I swear I'll do it for you.
00:16:49Look at your daughter.
00:16:53How dare you talk to us like that?
00:17:05You're the one out there with every man you could scoop up on the street.
00:17:09Go back to Ken.
00:17:10Apologize and beg his forgiveness.
00:17:13Yeah.
00:17:14I'll do that, Dad.
00:17:16When pigs fly.
00:17:17Are you crazy, Serena?
00:17:19You cannot take over this company until you are married.
00:17:23How do you expect to find a husband in the next few days?
00:17:26Oh, don't you worry.
00:17:27I will.
00:17:28It just won't be the guy that cheated on me with my own sister.
00:17:34What?
00:17:34You're a homewrecker.
00:17:42Like mother, like daughter.
00:17:44Huh?
00:17:44You sneaky bitch.
00:17:46I was just keeping Ken company.
00:17:49You were the one who was out with a cowboy all night.
00:17:52At least he was nice and honest.
00:17:55You guys?
00:17:56You guys are just a bunch of money-hungry vultures feasting off of what my mom left behind.
00:18:06That's your daughter.
00:18:07She should be locked up.
00:18:09You're both right.
00:18:10I won't let them take your company, Mom.
00:18:23I promise.
00:18:25Okay.
00:18:33Where are you, Serena?
00:18:34I don't want to talk about last night.
00:18:36We will talk about it, Serena, but I'm actually calling as your assistant now.
00:18:40You should be meeting the chief designer of construction at Future Mall for the construction site right now.
00:18:45Oh, shit.
00:18:46I completely forgot.
00:18:47Okay.
00:18:48Um, I'm on my way.
00:18:51Nice.
00:18:53Is that roca?
00:18:55It's all yours, sir.
00:19:01God bless you.
00:19:02Hey, can you move this truck?
00:19:09Uh, I think you use a drink.
00:19:16Hi, um, do you guys have water here?
00:19:20It's you.
00:19:21Oh.
00:19:22Uh, I didn't take you as a taco stand kind of guy.
00:19:25You're going to kill yourself doing all these jobs.
00:19:27Yeah, usually I can, I can handle this type of stuff, but, uh, I'm especially tired after last night.
00:19:34Hmm.
00:19:35Mm-mm.
00:19:35No, not today.
00:19:37I'm not doing that.
00:19:38Anyways.
00:19:39What can I help you with, Miss Monroe?
00:19:41Hmm.
00:19:42You can call me Serena.
00:19:43I was actually supposed to meet someone here, but it looks like I am late, so I think they already left.
00:19:50Somebody that keeps you waiting?
00:19:52Hmm.
00:19:53I think you're worth the wait.
00:19:54Hold on a second.
00:19:56You might actually be the perfect.
00:19:57Hey, Jesse, are you married?
00:20:00No.
00:20:01Girlfriend?
00:20:02No.
00:20:03Situationship with different women?
00:20:05Of course not.
00:20:07Hmm.
00:20:08Okay, perfect.
00:20:09Let's go.
00:20:12Where are we going?
00:20:14City Hall.
00:20:15We're going to get married.
00:20:16Well, it's official.
00:20:24We're married.
00:20:26It's kind of weird now that I say it out loud.
00:20:28I don't know.
00:20:28I think it sounds just right to me.
00:20:33Well, now the marriage part is over.
00:20:35Let's talk business.
00:20:37I'm going to deposit $10,000 on this card every month, and that is your salary for playing my husband.
00:20:41You know I'll marry you for free?
00:20:46Come on, Jesse.
00:20:47You rarely know me.
00:20:49I know you well enough to know that I like you.
00:20:55Just take it, Jesse.
00:20:58I can't have you working in the hotels.
00:21:02Do you know what I mean?
00:21:03Listen, I...
00:21:06All right.
00:21:10You're right.
00:21:11The gentleman never argues with the lady.
00:21:14Great.
00:21:16Oh, I have to go, but keep your phone on you, and I look forward to working with you, Jesse Ross.
00:21:23You as well, Serena Monroe.
00:21:25We need to stop talking about her for once.
00:21:31I'm just a little bit over it.
00:21:32I'm here.
00:21:33Oh, my.
00:21:37What are you doing here?
00:21:39You should be on your knees at Ken's house begging him to take you back.
00:21:44Ken probably kicked her out.
00:21:45That's why she's groveling back to us.
00:21:47Funny, coming from the woman who had her hands down his pants this morning.
00:21:50How dare you insult my baby girl, you wretched child.
00:21:55Well, I wouldn't have to if your baby girl wasn't such a liar and a man-stealer.
00:22:01You're just jealous that Ken chose me.
00:22:04And now without a husband, you're freaking out about the CEO title.
00:22:07I'm glad you mentioned it, because I have something to show you guys.
00:22:15Is...
00:22:15Is that...
00:22:17Marriage Certificate?
00:22:20You're married?
00:22:21You're married?
00:22:26Who the hell is this guy?
00:22:28That is none of your business.
00:22:33Wait a minute.
00:22:34Jesse Ross?
00:22:35Is it...
00:22:36Wait, isn't he the billionaire?
00:22:37The son of...
00:22:38Oh, snap out of your daydream.
00:22:39It's not that, Jesse Ross.
00:22:41As if a billionaire CEO would be interested in you.
00:22:46Let me guess.
00:22:47Is it the call boy from the hotel the other night?
00:22:52Homeless.
00:22:54So what?
00:22:55If it is.
00:22:58It's my marriage.
00:22:59Why do you care?
00:22:59Are you insane?
00:23:02You are the CEO-to-be of Monroe Construction.
00:23:05What can this loser do for our company?
00:23:08Huh?
00:23:08He's got no connections.
00:23:09He's got no money.
00:23:10He's got nothing.
00:23:12Work is work.
00:23:13Marriage is marriage.
00:23:14If all you're concerned about is money, I'll get you the money.
00:23:17Listen to yourself.
00:23:18What do you think?
00:23:19Money grows on trees.
00:23:21You file for divorce right now, or you never set foot in this house again.
00:23:27Works for me.
00:23:28I don't want to see your faces anyway.
00:23:30I was just here to show you the certificate.
00:23:34Serena!
00:23:38Everything just went so unexpected, Serena.
00:23:41You've been sitting like this all morning, boss.
00:23:43Has something happened?
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:47This happened.
00:23:49Oh, my.
00:23:49I got married last night to that girl.
00:23:52Wait, the girl that got you the wool coat?
00:23:54That's amazing, boss.
00:23:56Well, what did you say whenever you told her you'd been looking for her for the last five
00:24:00years?
00:24:01I didn't tell her.
00:24:03What?
00:24:04Why?
00:24:05She's not just a random girl.
00:24:07She's Serena Monroe.
00:24:09The heiress of Monroe Construction and daughter of Pauline Monroe.
00:24:14And she thinks that my family killed her mother.
00:24:16And to be honest with you, I don't blame her.
00:24:19But it was your uncle who insisted on going after her mother.
00:24:22You were only 23.
00:24:23You weren't even CEO yet.
00:24:24I know, Cooper, but I'm still a Ross.
00:24:26It doesn't change anything.
00:24:27That's why I don't want her to know who I am.
00:24:29She's not right now.
00:24:30Okay, well, I have to say, boss, I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:24:37Okay, well, I have to say, boss, I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:24:41She's been on my mind all these years.
00:24:43I like her.
00:24:45I want to have a chance to get to know her better and to be around her, but I can't do
00:24:49that if she knows who I am.
00:24:51Before she sees me as the Jessie Ross, I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:24:56Morning, Serena.
00:25:04Hey, where are you?
00:25:06Uh, I am at the construction site selling tacos.
00:25:11Again?
00:25:12Yeah, I need to pay the rent.
00:25:13Well, I'm your new boss now.
00:25:16I sent you an address.
00:25:18Can you come now?
00:25:19Yes, of course.
00:25:19I will be there soon, boss.
00:25:22Okay.
00:25:24I gotta get going.
00:25:25Now, what about you meeting in 30 minutes?
00:25:28Push it back.
00:25:29My only priority right now is Serena Monroe.
00:25:35This is not gonna end well.
00:25:42Tom?
00:25:43Looking amazing as ever.
00:25:45Thank you, Ms. Monroe.
00:25:47So nice to see you.
00:25:50Your dress is ready.
00:25:52I'll be right back.
00:25:52Oh, actually, it's my husband who is coming in today.
00:25:56Who?
00:25:57He needs some decent clothes, some shoes, and definitely a new watch.
00:26:01That's great.
00:26:02Although I'm not sure I can handle all of that today.
00:26:05Um, but...
00:26:06Oh.
00:26:07Oh.
00:26:08Sorry.
00:26:08I'm late.
00:26:09It's Monroe.
00:26:10Why didn't you tell me that your husband was, um...
00:26:13Uh...
00:26:14So handsome.
00:26:19Very nice to meet you, Jesse Ross.
00:26:21Wow, I have never been to a store like this.
00:26:24I mean, it must be so expensive.
00:26:27Baby, we don't have to do this if you don't want to...
00:26:30Oh, don't worry about it.
00:26:32I want to.
00:26:34Mm-hmm.
00:26:34So, can you get his measurements?
00:26:37There's no need.
00:26:42I'm sorry.
00:26:43What I mean is that, uh, you know, I've been doing this for so many years.
00:26:48I can just take one look at him and know exactly what he needs.
00:26:52See, this is why we come here, because Tom is the expert of all experts.
00:26:57Right, okay.
00:26:58Oh, well then, uh, Mr. Ross, why don't you, uh, come in the back and I will show you some
00:27:04suits.
00:27:05Great.
00:27:07I will be waiting outside the fitting room.
00:27:13What is going on?
00:27:14Thank you for covering for me.
00:27:16Look, you have an entire rack of suits here that have been custom-tailored for you.
00:27:21Pick three, and we'll try them on.
00:27:24Oh, okay.
00:27:26What did we say?
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:45Hmm.
00:27:46Actually, not bad.
00:27:48Hmm.
00:27:51I like this one, too.
00:28:02What is this magic?
00:28:04Everything fits you like a glove.
00:28:06Betrayed secret.
00:28:06Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:28:18Excuse me.
00:28:18Sorry.
00:28:19Oh, it's okay.
00:28:21I think that we will take all three of them.
00:28:26Oh, yes.
00:28:27Um, uh, actually, today is our annual sale.
00:28:3350% off everything that you've purchased today.
00:28:35Half off?
00:28:36Tell me you never have sales.
00:28:38Why don't I just go wrap this up for you.
00:28:44Okay.
00:28:47I promise that when I make enough money, I will pay you back.
00:28:52You don't have to pay me back.
00:28:53You're my husband.
00:28:55At least not with money.
00:28:56You know, no one's ever given me that nice of gifts before.
00:29:15Thank you, Serena.
00:29:16Of course.
00:29:17You're my husband now.
00:29:18I want to take care of you.
00:29:19Plus, it's not every day that you see a guy with this good in a suit.
00:29:26Actually, I got you something.
00:29:29Oh, wait.
00:29:29Hold on.
00:29:30Hold on.
00:29:30You first.
00:29:33I know I rushed you into this whole marriage thing, so I thought the least I could do is get you a ring.
00:29:49You know, you didn't rush me into anything.
00:29:55I actually, I need to tell you.
00:29:57If it isn't, Serena Monroe.
00:30:03So, you must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:30:06I mean, chose.
00:30:11You must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:30:13Oh, you must be Ken Snyder, the cheating ex-fiance she dumped.
00:30:17If anything, I dumped her first.
00:30:20Well, then I have a big thank you to tell you, because she's mine now.
00:30:25You must be paying him a lot, Serena.
00:30:28He's extremely committed to the character.
00:30:31Yeah, I'm really committed.
00:30:32And if you'll excuse us, I'm going to take my wife home.
00:30:43You don't even have your own car?
00:30:45You have to drive Serena's.
00:30:48What kind of loser are you?
00:30:51Loser?
00:30:54I've been called worse by better people.
00:30:57Fuckin' prick.
00:31:09Fuckin' prick.
00:31:23You're welcome.
00:31:23Wow, I can't wait to see what this place looks like.
00:31:32Wait.
00:31:33Something feels odd.
00:31:37Well, this is me.
00:31:39Drive home safe.
00:31:40Where do you live?
00:31:43Aren't you going to invite me in for some coffee or something?
00:31:46Fuck.
00:31:46I just pulled it over to some random neighborhood.
00:31:48I don't actually live here.
00:31:51Where do you live?
00:31:53Which house is yours?
00:31:54Can I have a tour?
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58Um, this one.
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:00I live here.
00:32:00But, uh, maybe next time.
00:32:03See, the thing is that I'm renting.
00:32:05I got a lot of roommates.
00:32:06Six guys and me.
00:32:07It gets messy and dirty and...
00:32:09Wait, you're telling me seven people live in this house?
00:32:12Cramped up?
00:32:13Is that even legal?
00:32:14You know, on the housing market, it's like, so expensive nowadays, so...
00:32:19Anyways.
00:32:20Drive home safe.
00:32:21Okay.
00:32:24Is he...
00:32:25hiding another woman in that house?
00:32:30No, really.
00:32:31You can go.
00:32:32I will.
00:32:33As soon as you get inside.
00:32:36Okay.
00:32:46Fine.
00:32:47Give this to yourself.
00:32:48Just a little.
00:32:51I forgot my keys.
00:32:55What?
00:32:56Six other people live there.
00:32:58Just knock.
00:32:59I'm sure someone's home.
00:33:05Fuck it.
00:33:11Please don't want me on this.
00:33:13Please don't want me on this.
00:33:21Please don't.
00:33:22Who are you?
00:33:23I'm not buying anything.
00:33:25Go away.
00:33:26Hey, friends.
00:33:27I forgot my keys.
00:33:29If you could just let me inside so we can...
00:33:31Uh...
00:33:32Can we just let me inside?
00:33:34I'll pay you whatever you want.
00:33:35I'll give it.
00:33:36Let's go.
00:33:37Hey, what's wrong with you?
00:33:39What's wrong?
00:33:41You two are who?
00:33:42I'm not sure you're going.
00:33:44Have a baby?
00:33:44Go.
00:33:46Go.
00:33:46Go.
00:33:46Excuse me.
00:33:53What the fuck was going on?
00:34:05What was that for?
00:34:08Do I need a reason to kiss my wife?
00:34:12What's wrong with your roommate?
00:34:14He said that he is very busy with a girl right now, if you know what I mean.
00:34:19And he asked me to come back later.
00:34:21Wait, you know Chinese?
00:34:23A little, yeah. I'm not fluent, though.
00:34:26That's kind of cool.
00:34:27But you live here. He can't just treat you like that.
00:34:30Oh, no, no, no.
00:34:31I'm actually going to go to a friend's house, hang out for a little bit, and I'll come back later.
00:34:35There's no worries at all, no.
00:34:38Let's go.
00:34:39To where?
00:34:40You're my husband. I can't let you just live like this.
00:34:43I'm going to buy you a house.
00:34:46Are you serious?
00:34:47Of course.
00:34:49Let's go.
00:34:49I do not like the Rosses, but I do have to admit, they have some of the best real estate in the city.
00:35:00This is their new developmental project.
00:35:04I am.
00:35:05I love it.
00:35:06But $2 million is a big purchase.
00:35:10Purchase?
00:35:11I'll give you this whole neighborhood if you want it.
00:35:13All right, Miss Monroe.
00:35:15Welcome to the one and only Lawrence Station Home.
00:35:18I heard you're interested in purchasing property.
00:35:22Boss?
00:35:25Even this young man thinks you're the boss of the relationship.
00:35:29Oh, my wife would like to have a tour of your model home.
00:35:33Well, certainly, if you'd kindly step into the living room.
00:35:38Ladies first.
00:35:43You don't remember, boss?
00:35:45You told me to come to the new model home and make sure everything was running smoothly.
00:35:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:35:52I'm sorry.
00:35:53Just don't blow my cover.
00:35:55Your secret is safe with me, boss.
00:35:58Always.
00:36:00But you know, funny thing, though.
00:36:02I have another Miss Monroe on my schedule.
00:36:12Ugh, Serena?
00:36:14There are 8.5 million people in L.A.
00:36:17How come I keep running into you two cheaters?
00:36:19I'll go wherever I want.
00:36:20What do you think?
00:36:21Do you own the city?
00:36:22Oh, my God.
00:36:24Did you pay for your own wedding ring yourself?
00:36:27That's the saddest thing I've ever seen, sis.
00:36:29Oh, really?
00:36:30Because I think I'm looking at the saddest thing I've ever seen.
00:36:33Take that back, you bitch.
00:36:36Hey, watch it.
00:36:38You lay one hand on her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:36:41Take it easy.
00:36:42Take your claws off me, call boy.
00:36:45What?
00:36:46You think you're all high and mighty?
00:36:48Why don't you scram and go back to where you came from?
00:36:51Call boy.
00:36:52Anyway, if you two are interested in this unit, you could forget it.
00:36:57Because we're getting it.
00:36:58Right, Ken?
00:36:59Anything my baby wants.
00:37:03If you two are interested in this unit, you could forget it.
00:37:07Because we're getting it.
00:37:08Right, Ken?
00:37:08Anything my baby wants.
00:37:10Cash.
00:37:11Down payment.
00:37:12Now go get us that contract.
00:37:13Mr. Schneider, I know that there's nothing you can do about your face.
00:37:18What did you just say?
00:37:19But have your parents ever taught you to get in line and wait your turn on the playground?
00:37:24Those rules might apply to your peasant world, picking up hot dogs.
00:37:28But in this world, my friend, money is the only express pass.
00:37:33Now what are you waiting for?
00:37:35Go fetch my contract.
00:37:36Actually, Mrs. Monroe has already reserved the unit.
00:37:41What?
00:37:42When?
00:37:48Mrs. Monroe has already reserved the unit.
00:37:51What?
00:37:52When?
00:37:52That's impossible.
00:37:54I made that down payment first.
00:37:55Yeah, well, Mrs. Monroe is the CEO of Monroe Construction, and as one of our VIP clients,
00:38:02she can reserve any unit at any time without a down payment.
00:38:06But I wouldn't expect you to know that.
00:38:09Are you insane?
00:38:11Do you know who you're talking to?
00:38:13This is Ken Snyder.
00:38:15Snyder?
00:38:16Oh, I'm afraid I've never heard that name before.
00:38:19Well, if you guys will excuse us, me and Serena have some paperwork we should be signing.
00:38:27Fine.
00:38:28We don't want your fucking model home anyway.
00:38:31Oh, hey, Ken.
00:38:32No cussing.
00:38:33My house, my rules.
00:38:35Let's go, Ken.
00:38:41Looks like the express pass didn't work this time.
00:38:44What?
00:38:50Did I say something wrong?
00:38:53Did I say something wrong?
00:38:55That was fucking amazing.
00:38:58Hey, watch your language.
00:39:01I'm too excited.
00:39:02Thank you, but since when did I become a VIP?
00:39:07Don't know when you walked in.
00:39:08Well, if you put it that way, I think I need to buy it.
00:39:11Ah, and we're having a half-off sale because it's a model home.
00:39:17You get to keep the furniture, too.
00:39:20Am I dreaming?
00:39:21I have to be dreaming, Jesse.
00:39:22Pitch me.
00:39:23I think this is real, Serena.
00:39:27I'll go fetch the papers.
00:39:30This is amazing.
00:39:36Welcome to your new home, Jesse.
00:39:39How about we call it?
00:39:40Our home.
00:39:47How about we call it?
00:39:51Our home.
00:39:53What?
00:39:55What do you mean?
00:39:56I just got this model home for you because I need you to move in ASAP.
00:40:00Look, it's already furnished and everything.
00:40:02I know.
00:40:03It's so spacious, but I want to live here with you.
00:40:08Build a home.
00:40:09Just us.
00:40:09You really want to do that with me?
00:40:14Why do you keep doubting that I want to be with you?
00:40:18I guess I just haven't felt wanted lately.
00:40:22Well, Serena Monroe, I want you more than anything.
00:40:27This is a pretty big house.
00:40:34Lots of empty rooms.
00:40:36All right.
00:40:37Just so we're clear, I get the master bedroom.
00:40:41Anything you want, sweetheart.
00:40:43Yes, don't touch.
00:40:44Okay.
00:40:46All right.
00:40:46It's been such a long day.
00:40:51Are you hungry?
00:40:53I'm starving.
00:40:55I think I know just the place to go.
00:40:56This is my favorite restaurant.
00:41:02They have the best steak in the city.
00:41:03Wow.
00:41:04I cannot imagine what a dish must cost around here.
00:41:07Oh, don't worry about it.
00:41:09Get whatever you want.
00:41:10It's on me anyway.
00:41:12Look, I've saved about a million dollars tonight.
00:41:18Welcome to LaBelle.
00:41:19Good to see you.
00:41:20Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:41:21My name is Jesse Ross.
00:41:23I'm very excited to be at your establishment for the very first time.
00:41:27Great to have you here, Mr. Ross.
00:41:29I am Leonard, the manager, and the lady must be your date for the night.
00:41:33My wife, Miss Serena Monroe.
00:41:36Congratulations on the new marriage.
00:41:39Please, follow me.
00:41:40Wait.
00:41:41How did you know that we recently got married?
00:41:47Wait.
00:41:47How did you know that we recently got married?
00:41:51You know, I've seen so many newlywated couples come to this place to celebrate.
00:41:55They all have this, uh, special glow.
00:41:58Wow.
00:41:59That's very romantic.
00:42:01I guess we do have a lot to celebrate.
00:42:04Perfect.
00:42:05Let me lead you to your table.
00:42:10We have this table for the two of you.
00:42:12Miss Monroe.
00:42:14Perfect.
00:42:26Thank you, sir.
00:42:27You're welcome, sir.
00:42:28Is something wrong?
00:42:35No, nothing.
00:42:37Actually, this day has gone by so perfectly, it actually feels unreal.
00:42:43Well, it must be luck.
00:42:46No, it's you.
00:42:51It's you.
00:42:51Ever since I met you, everything just keeps falling into place.
00:42:57Bring so much fortune into my life.
00:42:59I think you're my lucky snore, Jesse.
00:43:03I think you're my lucky snore, Jesse.
00:43:03I think you're my lucky snore.
00:43:12Do you want to know?
00:43:17Do you want to know?
00:43:21For some reason, you really like having him around.
00:43:25Should I hire him?
00:43:29Do I have something in my face?
00:43:31Um, no.
00:43:33It's not that.
00:43:34I was actually thinking, since you are my lucky star,
00:43:39why don't you come look with me at my company?
00:43:43I could use the luck, and I like having you around.
00:43:50Well, if you say it like that, where do I have fun?
00:43:55Oh, there you are.
00:44:00And you're the secret husband she's been hiding from me.
00:44:03He's not just okay, he's hot.
00:44:05Way to go, girl.
00:44:06Lynn.
00:44:07Stop.
00:44:08I'm Lynn.
00:44:09Serena's best friend, assistant, therapist.
00:44:12Well, I'm hoping to take some of that responsibility off me from now on.
00:44:16I like him.
00:44:18Great.
00:44:18Because I brought him here to do an interview with you.
00:44:21An interview for what?
00:44:22Anything.
00:44:24Just find him something to do.
00:44:26No pressure.
00:44:27Just try your best.
00:44:29Wait, Serena.
00:44:31This woman, I swear.
00:44:33I know, right?
00:44:34Well, let's get to it.
00:44:36What are you doing in my office?
00:44:52What are you doing in my office?
00:44:54And get out of my chair.
00:44:56You're getting your stench all over it.
00:44:57Always so high and mighty, aren't we, Serena?
00:44:59I guess you haven't heard the news.
00:45:03The Johnsons decided to pull out of your biggest project in Williamsburg.
00:45:07I guess they don't trust you with their money.
00:45:09No need to be nervous, okay?
00:45:10We'll just chat a bit.
00:45:12Sounds good to me, yeah.
00:45:13So you have your resume on you?
00:45:15Yeah, I do, yeah.
00:45:17I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but nothing too serious.
00:45:22So we're going to chose you as for Prince Charming.
00:45:24I'm sure you've done something.
00:45:27Incredible.
00:45:28You went to Harvard?
00:45:30Yes, yeah.
00:45:31You were the chief designer of reconstruction of Shangri-La, Shanghai.
00:45:36That is correct, yeah.
00:45:37And you designed Crazy Maple Plaza in Silicon Valley.
00:45:42You know, with your resume, you could have a job in the industry anywhere in the world.
00:45:47I know.
00:45:49But there's only one Serena Moreau.
00:45:53She's the most important thing to me.
00:45:54That's impossible.
00:46:00I just met with the COO last week.
00:46:02Wait, Ken went to college with him.
00:46:07You two did this.
00:46:09Don't point fingers when you can't even manage your own company.
00:46:13You start as CEO next week.
00:46:16What are you going to do?
00:46:18Well, as her assistant, I should be critical and grill you with more questions.
00:46:24But, as her best friend, I feel like she is so lucky to have you.
00:46:32Face it, Serena.
00:46:36Serena's office.
00:46:37Shit.
00:46:38I think I recognize that voice.
00:46:40Carol Monroe.
00:46:42Not you again.
00:46:43Oh, you start as CEO next week.
00:46:52What are you going to do?
00:46:54I'll find a solution.
00:46:55I'm not losing the Johnson case.
00:46:58There's a fine line between confidence and stupidity, Serena.
00:47:01You want a piece of free advice?
00:47:03Quit right now.
00:47:04I'll die before I let go of this company.
00:47:09Face it, Serena.
00:47:10Without the Johnson's money, you're going to lose the biggest case of your life.
00:47:14And I don't really think the board is going to be too happy about that.
00:47:18But, I'll see if I can have Ken call them to change their minds.
00:47:22And all you'll have to do is get down on your hands and knees and beg me what's more important
00:47:33to you, your ego or your dead mother's company.
00:47:38Keep dreaming, Carol.
00:47:40Great.
00:47:41Looking forward to seeing you get fired.
00:47:48Wait.
00:47:48Wait.
00:47:52Don't do it.
00:48:19You again.
00:48:20You know what?
00:48:21Don't steal my line.
00:48:22How dare you bully my wife like that?
00:48:24I didn't do anything.
00:48:25It's the Johnsons that pulled out of her project.
00:48:29Not anymore.
00:48:34Vincent.
00:48:35It's Jesse.
00:48:36Hello.
00:48:37I'm good, bro.
00:48:38Yeah.
00:48:38Hey, I have a question for you.
00:48:40I heard you're pulling out of the Monroe Project, yeah?
00:48:43Oh, that would be amazing.
00:48:45Hey, I really appreciate it.
00:48:47Thank you so much, alright?
00:48:48Alright, we'll talk soon.
00:48:50Be safe.
00:48:51Bye.
00:48:51All taken care of.
00:48:53Serena, you can queue the project.
00:48:55But the Johnsons...
00:48:56The Johnsons just agreed to sell the project for $20 million to Ross the Instruction, and
00:49:00they're going to continue to fund the Serene's project.
00:49:02You're lying.
00:49:03You're more than welcome to call Vincent if you'd like yourself, but I doubt you have his phone
00:49:15number.
00:49:16Serena?
00:49:17Don't take care of it.
00:49:19Mark my words, Serena.
00:49:21Your luck will run out soon.
00:49:22And when it does, I'll be in the front row waiting for that day.
00:49:25Does she always say I'm the girl like that?
00:49:38What's wrong?
00:49:39I thought you'd be happy about all this.
00:49:40I am happy that the project is being saved, but I don't know how I feel about it being with Ross's.
00:49:49Serena.
00:49:51Wait, how do you know Vincent Johnson?
00:49:54Oh, shit.
00:49:55What should I tell her?
00:49:56I, uh, I've helped him with some stuff, yeah.
00:50:03Aw, I knew I was afraid about you.
00:50:06Jesse Ross, how do you always end up being at the right place at the right time?
00:50:11Ugh, that was close.
00:50:14Because I only do it for the right person.
00:50:18Stop, we're at the office.
00:50:19How was your interview, by the way?
00:50:25I don't know, you tell me.
00:50:26How was my performance back there, huh?
00:50:29You're hired as my personal assistant.
00:50:32Perfect, I've been dreaming of this day my whole life.
00:50:38Hey, see you at work.
00:50:41Bye.
00:50:44Cooper.
00:50:45Hey, uh, I wanted to let you know I am stepping away from the company for a little while.
00:50:49Bye.
00:50:49Why?
00:50:50I accepted a job offer for my wife as her assistant.
00:50:53Wait, boss.
00:50:54Your company makes millions of dollars a month, and you're tossing it aside for no good reason?
00:50:58Well, I'm doing it to be with Serena.
00:51:00That's the best reason.
00:51:02I'm not tossing it aside.
00:51:03I'm leaving it in your care while I'm gone.
00:51:05Oh, okay, yeah.
00:51:07Easy for you to say, boss.
00:51:08I trust you, Cooper, okay?
00:51:10You can do it.
00:51:12All right, bye.
00:51:13Wait, hold on a second, boss.
00:51:15Wait.
00:51:15Oh.
00:51:31Surprise.
00:51:35Surprise.
00:51:36Surprise.
00:51:36Did you do all of this?
00:51:40Anything for my wife?
00:51:47Is that my apron?
00:51:49OK, you can laugh all you want.
00:51:52I am not getting a stain on this shirt.
00:51:54Who says I'm laughing?
00:51:57Actually, I think it is quite sexy.
00:52:01Hmm.
00:52:02You're the first man who's ever cooked for me.
00:52:04Really?
00:52:06No one's ever done this for you?
00:52:08Men in my world are not like you, Jesse.
00:52:10They wear $5,000 suits, play golf,
00:52:13and they only care about two things,
00:52:16spending money and how to make more of it.
00:52:20You're full of surprises.
00:52:22You're pretty special.
00:52:27You say the word, and I will do this for you
00:52:30every single day for the rest of your life.
00:52:34For the rest of your life.
00:52:40Or as long as you'll have me.
00:52:43Well, I have to taste test this first.
00:52:47All right.
00:52:49Ladies first.
00:52:50Fair warning.
00:52:50I'm pretty picky.
00:52:52I'll take my chances.
00:52:52I'll take my chances.
00:53:00This is amazing.
00:53:01Oh.
00:53:02You have a little something.
00:53:05Mm-hmm.
00:53:08A little something.
00:53:09Oh.
00:53:10This is too good to be true.
00:53:24You're too good to be true.
00:53:28I don't want to keep doing this to you.
00:53:31What are you talking about, Serena?
00:53:34I think we should end this.
00:53:36Oh, no.
00:53:37Did you find out who I am?
00:53:40I think we should end this.
00:53:42I proposed to you only to become CEO,
00:53:45and you ended up being so special.
00:53:49OK, I'm going to stop you right there.
00:53:51Yes, you did ask me to marry you.
00:53:54But have you ever thought about why I said yes?
00:53:57Because I'm paying you?
00:53:58$10,000 a month is a lot.
00:54:01Yes.
00:54:02But it's not enough to make me stay.
00:54:04I stay because I like you.
00:54:07And I'm falling for you, Serena.
00:54:11Really?
00:54:13You're falling for me?
00:54:15Yes.
00:54:18Now, shall we?
00:54:29So you can dance.
00:54:31Do you have any other secrets that you're hiding from me, Jesse Ross?
00:54:36I guess we'll find out.
00:54:41Actually, I think I have a secret to tell you.
00:54:48Actually, I have a secret to tell you.
00:54:57I think I'm falling for you, too.
00:55:01Well, then, I guess we'll just call it even.
00:55:06I think I'm falling for you, too.
00:55:08Oh, God.
00:55:09But I think I'm falling for you.
00:55:10I think I'm falling for you.
00:55:11I think I will.
00:55:41Do you know that when two people look at each other's eyes long enough, their heartbeats synchronize?
00:55:49No way. You just made that up.
00:55:52I'm serious. Feel it.
00:56:04Serena?
00:56:08Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:56:11I... I don't know.
00:56:19I know he just recently took over the company a year ago, and it was his Uncle Alfred who's going after my mom, not him.
00:56:28But he's still Ross. I don't know if I can look past that.
00:56:33I've never told anybody this, but even though my mom has been gone for five years, sometimes I pretend she's just traveling, and she'll come back one day.
00:56:51She was the only one that ever truly loved me. That's why I can't let go of this company. If I lose this, then I lose everything of her.
00:57:05I'm sorry that you had to do it alone.
00:57:08It was hard. I'm not alone anymore.
00:57:13I have you.
00:57:14I haven't felt like this in a really, really long time.
00:57:22Like what?
00:57:24Like who?
00:57:25Like who?
00:57:25Like who?
00:57:25We're going to have to move. If this is what you want to do, you can do that. We're going to have to move it all the way over.
00:57:50This is the CEO office. Dad, have you ever heard of knocking?
00:57:54You think you're such a hero for securing funds from Ross Construction, do you? Here, why don't you take a look at this?
00:58:02Serena Monroe broke our engagement and then married another man in less than 24 hours. She broke my heart. Worse than that, she broke my trust.
00:58:12And that is why I am hereby terminating all partnerships with Monroe Constructions.
00:58:17Mr. Senator.
00:58:18He cheats on me first and then he wants to go off about trust. That's funny.
00:58:25I don't care who cheated on whom. You ruined our relationship with Ken and now our business is sinking.
00:58:31Dad, you don't care about the company. You just want the bribe that Ken said he'd give you.
00:58:38How dare you accuse your father of this?
00:58:44How dare you accuse your father of this?
00:58:48Get your hands on me, you asshole.
00:58:52Anyone that hurts Serena, I'll hurt them first. Do you understand?
00:58:55You've got two options. You either walk out the door yourself or I'll throw you out.
00:58:58Huh? What is it? What are you going to do?
00:59:05That's what I thought.
00:59:08Who the hell is this?
00:59:09Jesse Ross, Serena's husband and personal assistant. You hired him? What is this, a homeless shelter?
00:59:16His resume was approved by HR. He got here fair and square, unlike you, who took mom's seat on the board as soon as she passed.
00:59:23I swear, you mark my words, Serena. You're going to regret losing all the money that you had in projects with Ken.
00:59:30The big board meeting is tomorrow. And if you can't dig your way out of this, you can kiss this company. Goodbye.
00:59:38Everybody.
00:59:47You okay? Don't worry about it.
00:59:50No, Jesse. He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
00:59:56No, Jesse. He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
00:59:59What are you talking about? You're Serena Marone. You'll figure it out. I know my wife.
01:00:04No, but the board doesn't, Jesse. And if I don't get enough business for the company, they're going to vote me out.
01:00:10I promised my mom and I'm failing her.
01:00:12Look at me. It's going to be okay. I will help you figure this out. We'll figure it out together, all right?
01:00:20The board meeting is in 24 hours, Jesse. No one can fix this.
01:00:24I know one person.
01:00:29I have an idea, and you're not going to like it. You're going to say no.
01:00:34But you've got to hear me out first.
01:00:36You need to call Jesse Ross and set up an in-person meeting with him.
01:00:46You need to call Jesse Ross and set up an in-person meeting with him.
01:00:50That is the only company in this industry that can handle all the properties of Kent's.
01:00:54This could be your only chance to actually save the company's rent. Do you understand?
01:00:58And this could be his shot to right the wrong that his family did to you.
01:01:02Even if I did call him up, everyone wants to work with him. Why would he choose me?
01:01:06He's chosen you before. I have a feeling that he could choose you again.
01:01:11I have to step out for a minute. But trust me, call him.
01:01:26What should I do, Mom?
01:01:28Promise me that you'll find someone kind. Someone you trust.
01:01:34Take over the company when you turn 28. Keep our legacy.
01:01:48Hello?
01:01:49Boss, your wife, I mean, Miss Monroe, is on the line.
01:01:54Put her on.
01:01:58Good morning, Mr. Ross. This is Serena Monroe from Monroe Construction.
01:02:02It's a pleasure to hear from you, Miss Monroe.
01:02:04Why does his voice sound so familiar?
01:02:06Is there anything that I can do for you?
01:02:09Yes, actually. Since we are officially doing business together, I think there are a few projects that would be perfect for your company.
01:02:16And I was wondering if you would be interested in meeting tonight in person to discuss our future together.
01:02:24That sounds wonderful. I would love to finally meet you in person, Miss Monroe.
01:02:29Oh, and may I just say, I really admire what you are doing over at that company.
01:02:34I think you're a very bright and strong woman.
01:02:38Thank you, Mr. Ross.
01:02:40Please, call me Jessie.
01:02:43See you tonight then, Jessie.
01:02:46Hmm. It's a lot nicer than I thought.
01:02:49Okay, this might be my last night with you, Serena, but I'm just gonna tell you the truth and hope for the best.
01:03:01Jessie, I don't know if I can do this. I'm freaking out right now.
01:03:06Look at me. Everything is gonna be okay tonight, alright? I promise.
01:03:11How can you be so sure?
01:03:13Because you're amazing, and he will see that.
01:03:16And, we're also named Jessie Ross, so like, I basically know how his brain works.
01:03:20That wasn't scientific at all.
01:03:22But it worked, didn't it?
01:03:25Guess what? I have a surprise for you.
01:03:27Okay.
01:03:29Come with me.
01:03:36Where did you find such a place?
01:03:39Well, I know the owner, and he agreed to lend it to me.
01:03:43I mean, I figured we never had a first date, so, uh, why not?
01:03:50This is beautiful, Jessie.
01:03:53It really is.
01:03:55Wait, don't move.
01:03:59Why?
01:04:01I'm trying to see if our heartbeats synchronize.
01:04:04And what do you think?
01:04:07I can't tell.
01:04:08Seems like yours is getting faster and faster.
01:04:13And who's faulted?
01:04:15I don't know.
01:04:22I'm lucky to have found you, Serena.
01:04:25Me too, Jessie.
01:04:27You know, something weird happened earlier when I was on the phone with Jessie Ross.
01:04:32I saw your face.
01:04:33I saw your face.
01:04:40It was like you had some weird familiarity somehow.
01:04:47Must have been a deja vu moment.
01:04:51It must be.
01:04:56Oh, my God.
01:04:58I'm an idiot.
01:05:00Is it finally time?
01:05:01You planned this whole date for us, and here I am, talking about another man.
01:05:08So sorry, I...
01:05:10It's okay.
01:05:12I am just glad to be in this moment with you.
01:05:17Well, Jessie, I'm your wife.
01:05:20You have your whole life to spend with me.
01:05:23And mark my words, Jessie Ross, you're not gonna get rid of me that easy.
01:05:28That I am the luckiest man in the world.
01:05:32I love you.
01:05:34You have no idea how much I wish you'd never know who I really am.
01:05:42I love you too, Jessie.
01:05:43I love you too, Jessie.
01:06:03Well, I guess we're back where it all started.
01:06:05I guess we are.
01:06:08I'm sorry, I gotta take this.
01:06:11Okay.
01:06:12I'll just meet you out there.
01:06:14Serena?
01:06:16Nothing.
01:06:18Go ahead.
01:06:20Serena.
01:06:22I'm sorry.
01:06:23I gotta take this.
01:06:24Okay.
01:06:25I'll just meet you out there.
01:06:27Serena?
01:06:29Nothing.
01:06:31Go ahead.
01:06:32Serena, I promise I will tell you everything when I'm done.
01:06:50Alfred?
01:06:52Jessie, did you really think you could keep Serena Monroe a secret from me?
01:06:57Stay out of it.
01:06:58Okay, this is between me and her.
01:07:01Not anymore.
01:07:03Come up to my suite.
01:07:04We need to talk.
01:07:16Okay, five more minutes.
01:07:28I thought you were in Europe.
01:07:43You wouldn't return my calls, Jessie.
01:07:47So I thought either you're in trouble or you're hiding something from me.
01:07:53Turns out both my guesses are correct.
01:07:56Me and Serena are married.
01:07:58I'm investing in her projects so she can keep her company.
01:08:01You can't do anything about it.
01:08:03You've always been a hopeless romantic, Jessie.
01:08:08And that's the worst quality a CEO can have.
01:08:11Now, don't get me wrong.
01:08:14I'm proud of you for gaining Serena Monroe's trust.
01:08:17She never would have agreed to sit down with me.
01:08:20And I do like her projects.
01:08:22But then I thought, why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:08:29Why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:08:32She's given everything for that company.
01:08:33You can't just take it from her.
01:08:34I'm not taking anything.
01:08:37I'm buying.
01:08:39I'm going to make her a decent offer.
01:08:40And if she's smart enough, she'll take it.
01:08:43I'm not going to let you do that.
01:08:46I know you won't.
01:08:48Which is why I have to do this.
01:08:51Alfred.
01:08:53Alfred!
01:08:55Hey!
01:08:57No, no, no!
01:08:58Hey, hey!
01:09:00Alfred! Alfred!
01:09:10I see you've noticed the proposal I drafted for us, Miss Monroe.
01:09:16Alfred Ross.
01:09:17Alfred Ross.
01:09:21I know you're expecting my nephew.
01:09:24However, I just had a chat with him.
01:09:27And unfortunately, we were unable to come to terms on our business strategy.
01:09:31Business strategy?
01:09:33Is that what you call trying to force a dying woman to sell her company?
01:09:37I understand your frustration, Miss Monroe.
01:09:40But I'm a businessman.
01:09:42So is your mother.
01:09:43A successful one, I might add.
01:09:45She knew the rules of the game.
01:09:48And so do you.
01:09:50Fuck!
01:09:52Fuck!
01:09:56I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Ross.
01:09:59But it seems that we have too much history to continue this conversation.
01:10:05I'd like to speak with your nephew, if I may.
01:10:08Unfortunately, Jessie is currently occupied.
01:10:10But I assure you, Miss Monroe, I speak for the both of us.
01:10:14After all, we are family.
01:10:18Jessie's phone.
01:10:19He's your nephew.
01:10:20He's the...
01:10:21Jessie Ross.
01:10:22Now I know all about your situation, Miss Monroe.
01:10:23And I assure you, I have your best solution right here.
01:10:24I'm never selling my company.
01:10:25Especially not to you.
01:10:26Well, I knew you'd say that.
01:10:27But to me, it's really all the same.
01:10:28You see, it's simple.
01:10:29Either you sign these papers now and sell to me.
01:10:31Or tomorrow you get voted out by your board.
01:10:32Your stock's cracked.
01:10:33And I know all about your situation.
01:10:34And I know all about your situation, Miss Monroe.
01:10:35And I assure you, I have your best solution right here.
01:10:36And I know all about your situation, Miss Monroe.
01:10:37And I assure you, I have your best solution right here.
01:10:38I'm never selling my company.
01:10:39Especially not to you.
01:10:40Well, I knew you'd say that.
01:10:41But to me, it's really all the same.
01:10:42You see, it's simple.
01:10:43Either you sign these papers now and sell to me.
01:10:44Or tomorrow you get voted out by your board.
01:10:47Your stock's crashed and I buy it cheap.
01:10:49Whatever you choose, Miss Monroe, I'll get what I want.
01:10:53Shit!
01:10:54Hey!
01:10:55Someone let me out!
01:10:56Cooper!
01:10:57How'd you find me?
01:10:58I couldn't reach you, boss.
01:10:59So...
01:11:00It's simple.
01:11:01It's simple.
01:11:02Either you sign these papers now and sell to me.
01:11:04Or tomorrow you get voted out by your board.
01:11:06Your stocks crash and I buy it cheap.
01:11:08Whatever you choose, Miss Monroe.
01:11:11I'll get what I want.
01:11:14Shit!
01:11:15Hey!
01:11:16Someone let me out!
01:11:19Cooper!
01:11:20How'd you find me?
01:11:21I couldn't reach you, boss.
01:11:22So, I tracked your phone to this hotel.
01:11:25I saw your uncle down in the lobby with your phone,
01:11:27so I knew something was off.
01:11:29The front desk told me he checked into this room.
01:11:31Alfred is forcing Serena to sell the company.
01:11:33We need to get down there right now.
01:11:35Okay.
01:11:40So, everything he did was to get close to me.
01:11:45To get my company.
01:11:47Are there any other secrets you're hiding from me, Jesse Ross?
01:11:51I guess we'll find out.
01:11:53You know, something weird happened earlier when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:11:57I saw your face.
01:12:00Love clouds one's vision.
01:12:02And as you know, in this business, your vision must always be crystal clear.
01:12:07Sign this.
01:12:08You'll get a fair price.
01:12:09Board seat and your share of stocks.
01:12:14Or, wait till tomorrow and let your board decide the fate of your company.
01:12:20Like I said, it's really all the same to me.
01:12:24Promise me, Serena.
01:12:25Take over the company when you turn 28.
01:12:26And keep our legacy.
01:12:27I'm sorry, Mom.
01:12:28I'm tired.
01:12:29Don't do it, Serena.
01:12:30Don't do it, Serena.
01:12:31Jesse, what the hell are you doing?
01:12:32You keep me in a hotel room so you can force Serena to sign an acquisition contract?
01:12:37You've got to stop this, Alfred.
01:12:38It's been five years since you tried to take care of her.
01:12:40I'm sorry.
01:12:41I'm sorry.
01:12:42I'm sorry.
01:12:43I'm sorry.
01:12:44I'm sorry.
01:12:45I'm sorry.
01:12:46I'm sorry.
01:12:47I'm sorry.
01:12:48I'm sorry.
01:12:49I'm sorry.
01:12:50I'm sorry.
01:12:51I'm sorry.
01:12:52I'm sorry.
01:12:53I'm sorry.
01:12:54I'm sorry.
01:12:55I'm sorry.
01:12:56You've got to stop this, Alfred.
01:12:58It's been five years since you tried to take Serena's mother and make her sign a contract
01:13:02when she was dying of cancer.
01:13:03What, are you going to do it again?
01:13:04I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:13:06This is fucking business and I'd do it all over again for my company.
01:13:11Cooper, you got it?
01:13:13Loud and clear.
01:13:14I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:13:17This is fucking business and I'd do it all over again for my company.
01:13:23Now I'm going to bring that recording to the board of my company and we're going to see
01:13:27if your business strategies align with us.
01:13:29But if you want my advice, you better start packing.
01:13:33How dare you?
01:13:34I am your uncle.
01:13:35This is our family business.
01:13:37Not anymore.
01:13:38I'm CEO of Ross Construction and we're going to do this my way.
01:13:42You know what?
01:13:43You better leave now before I make you.
01:13:48Hold on.
01:13:49You're forgetting something.
01:13:53Oh my God.
01:14:10Oh my God.
01:14:12Serena, Serena I, I, I can explain.
01:14:14No, don't tell me that you can explain.
01:14:16Weren't you lucky that I happened to stumble into the wrong hotel room that one night?
01:14:20I poured my heart out to you, and you've been lying to me this whole time.
01:14:24The marriage, the house, even this meeting, all for what?
01:14:29So you can earn my business, redeem your name, pretend that you're some good person?
01:14:35No, none of that at all, actually.
01:14:38Then why did you do this?
01:14:40Because I fell in love with you five years ago.
01:14:50I didn't know anything about you, but I thought about you every single day for five years.
01:14:59It was winter.
01:15:01You got robbed, and I gave you my coat.
01:15:04I thought I would never see you again.
01:15:06And then you walk into my hotel room.
01:15:08I was shocked.
01:15:10But then I realized that my family hurt you, and how much you hated me.
01:15:15So you pretend to be my escort?
01:15:17What, to get close to me, to become my best friend?
01:15:24You can't do this to me, Jesse.
01:15:26You lied to me.
01:15:27You manipulated me.
01:15:28You created this fairy tale of us.
01:15:32You made me fall in love with somebody who doesn't even exist.
01:15:38Serena, did you really?
01:15:42Did you fall in love with me?
01:15:47Did you really fall in love with me?
01:15:54I can't.
01:15:55I can't do this, Jesse.
01:15:58I am sorry that I lied to you.
01:16:02You have every right to be mad.
01:16:05But I don't want to lose you again.
01:16:06And you know that everything that we have here is real.
01:16:13You know that.
01:16:16It's so much easier to hate you than to love you.
01:16:19It's so much easier to hate you than to love you, Jesse.
01:16:45Serena, wait.
01:16:47It's done.
01:16:49I'm losing the company tomorrow.
01:16:50I'm just going to leave L.A., OK?
01:16:51No, it's not.
01:16:53Because you never said it was.
01:16:55What are you talking about?
01:16:57I told myself to let you hate me and to let you go.
01:17:01But you never said it.
01:17:07I've been waiting for the right time to give you this.
01:17:12I know that you lost your home and you lost your mother.
01:17:15And that it's very hard to believe in somebody you can.
01:17:17But if you can change your mind, I can be your home.
01:17:27I'm still the same person that you fell in love with.
01:17:29And I can keep waiting for you.
01:17:31I've done it for five years.
01:17:34I can do it again.
01:17:34I can do it again.
01:17:39I can do it again.
01:17:40Tessie, I can't.
01:17:50Because I already proposed to you once.
01:17:53Now it's your turn.
01:17:55And you have to do it right.
01:18:04All right.
01:18:08Serena Monroe.
01:18:10Will you marry me again?
01:18:17Yes.
01:18:26I love you, Serena Monroe.
01:18:29I love you too, Jessie.
01:18:30Are there any more secrets that you need to tell me?
01:18:36No, any more.
01:18:38I promise.
01:18:39Give it up, give it all the way, all the way.
01:18:44With you, I know I'll be okay.
01:18:46Girl, there ain't nothing I wouldn't do.
01:18:49All right, it's official.
01:19:06Robert and Carolyn Monroe are officially off the board and are no longer entitled to your company.
01:19:12How does it feel, Madam CEO?
01:19:15Frickin' awesome.
01:19:21Oh.
01:19:23I have to go.
01:19:25Thank you, Lynn.
01:19:28You know, actually, why don't you just take the rest of the day off?
01:19:30Uh, sure, but why would I?
01:19:37I heard you were also having the day off.
01:19:39This woman, I swear.
01:19:40Okay, you can laugh all you want, but I am not getting pesto in this suit.
01:20:03It costs $5,000.
01:20:05It costs $5,000.
01:20:06I know.
01:20:07I bought it for you.
01:20:08So it's your month-iversary as CEO.
01:20:11How are you feeling in this room?
01:20:14I am feeling excited, powerful, exhausted, and so, so, so hungry.
01:20:24Well, we can take care of that.
01:20:28Do you know that I am so happy for you?
01:20:30That you got your company back.
01:20:32And I am very proud of you, sweetheart.
01:20:35Am I still being too much, or...?
01:20:37No, I think it's perfect.
01:20:41What are you thinking?
01:20:47I don't know.
01:20:49This just feels like home.
01:21:05Mother!
01:21:07You have to do something about that bitch!
01:21:09She kicked me and Daddy out of the company!
01:21:13This is all because she married that Jessie Ross.
01:21:18We almost had her.
01:21:20And her company.
01:21:21The worst part is, Ken hasn't been picking up any of my calls or responding to any of my text messages.
01:21:27So he's probably with some new bitch!
01:21:30I love me, what do you do?
01:21:31Stop crying and bitching!
01:21:35Turn on the TV!
01:21:36Last month, Ken Snyder accused his ex-fiancee, Serena Monroe, of cheating.
01:21:41Turns out he was the one who cheated first.
01:21:44And we have photos to prove it.
01:21:51No!
01:21:51No!
01:21:52No!
