00:00:00Oh, how many drinks did I have last night?
00:00:18Oh, my sunglasses.
00:00:34Oh, God! I slept with my boss last night.
00:00:36I slept with my boss last night.
00:00:47Mia, have you seen one of those guys?
00:00:49Are you still a virgin at 25?
00:00:52No, I have another.
00:00:54You are losing your virginity tonight.
00:00:56You guys are crazy.
00:00:58She's got a taste, but she drinks anymore.
00:01:01How else is she going to be able to get herself to do it?
00:01:03Mia, we got a handsome man for you tonight.
00:01:23What are you doing here?
00:01:25This is my room.
00:01:27Oh, you must be the guy Fiona was telling me about.
00:01:30Fiona?
00:01:33Yeah.
00:01:39You drank more than I did.
00:02:03I'm going to get out of here.
00:02:34Mia, where were you last night?
00:02:38I was in Las Vegas for a bachelorette party.
00:02:42Today's the deadline for my college tuition.
00:02:44Did you make all my calls on purpose?
00:02:46I didn't hear my phone ring.
00:02:48Wait, when did you call me?
00:02:50Ten texts and five calls.
00:02:52I was working on Mrs. Parsons' report.
00:02:56Laura, I think I lost my phone.
00:02:58What?
00:02:59Look, if you're tired of me being a burden and don't want to cough up my tuition anymore,
00:03:02can you just say so?
00:03:03No need to make up excuses.
00:03:04No, that's not it at all.
00:03:06I lost my phone.
00:03:07Laura, we've known each other since childhood.
00:03:09You're my family.
00:03:11I would never lie to you.
00:03:12I promise, I'll transfer over the money as soon as I can.
00:03:19Shoot, I'm going to be late for work.
00:03:21Wait, you got a job?
00:03:23Please tell me it's not dressing up like a shark outside the laundromat and handing out flyers.
00:03:26That would be so embarrassing.
00:03:27No, it's not.
00:03:28I got an internship at a big company.
00:03:32Wait.
00:03:48Hello?
00:03:49Is this your phone?
00:03:51You found the phone?
00:03:52Bring it to me.
00:03:54What's your name?
00:03:55Laura Jones, I'm at 15 Derrick Street. Hurry!
00:03:58Sir, it seems your grandfather is once again inquiring about the subject of marriage.
00:04:05Moreover, the family has become aware of your evening in Vegas with the young lady.
00:04:10They wish to know her identity and when to expect an engagement announcement.
00:04:15Laura Jones, on Derrick Street. Find her for me.
00:04:19Yes, sir.
00:04:28Please, give me another chance.
00:04:30You're fired. Just go.
00:04:32Please, Laura. Please, Laura.
00:04:34Stop.
00:04:35Please, Laura.
00:04:41What's going on here?
00:04:43Uh, the new secretary tried to seduce the boss. She was fired.
00:04:46Mr. James hates gold diggers.
00:04:52Avoid those types in the future.
00:04:54Yes, Mr. James. I'll have a charge to find a new secretary right away.
00:05:03He didn't recognize me. He must have been pretty drunk last night.
00:05:08Her scent. It's familiar.
00:05:12Wait.
00:05:18Wait.
00:05:20Who are you?
00:05:21I'm Mia Nolan, sir. Your new intern.
00:05:26Nolan. I'd like you to be my new secretary.
00:05:30But she started a week ago.
00:05:42You go, girl.
00:05:43Why me?
00:05:45You go, girl.
00:05:46Why me?
00:05:47Look at you. No way you'd ever seduce the boss for money.
00:05:50I'm nowhere near qualified to be a secretary.
00:05:52Ten grand a month. Are you willing to bust that up?
00:05:55Ten grand?
00:05:56Ten grand?
00:06:11This is Aaron James, heir to the James family name and CEO of the family company.
00:06:22Laura Jones.
00:06:26From Vegas last night at the Lancaster Hotel.
00:06:29Lancaster Hotel?
00:06:31I found your phone in the hotel room. I just came to give it back to you.
00:06:37The James family requires Aaron to be married by the end of the month.
00:06:41You'll receive two million dollars for your discretion.
00:06:44Move into the James family manor and be Aaron's fiancée.
00:06:49Our relationship would strictly be business.
00:06:52I would not make any advances towards you. You'd be a decoy to help relieve pressure from my family.
00:06:56I expect to hear an answer within three days.
00:07:04Aaron James thought it was me from the photo on Mia's phone.
00:07:22Laura, guess what? I got a promotion and a new phone.
00:07:27Laura, it pays ten thousand dollars a month.
00:07:29So now you can focus on your studies without having to worry anymore.
00:07:32Mia, I'm moving out.
00:07:33What?
00:07:35Why do you suddenly want to move out?
00:07:39Who's calling?
00:07:45Who's calling?
00:07:47Uh, probably just a hotel marketer. I got accepted for a university scholarship.
00:07:53Oh, I'm so happy for you, Laura.
00:07:56And now I think it's time for me to move out. I mean, I'm 22. I should live on my own.
00:08:00You're right. I support your decision.
00:08:03Thank you, Mia.
00:08:04So, you got a promotion today?
00:08:07You're looking at the new secretary for Aaron James.
00:08:13Aaron James? Like, the CEO of James Group?
00:08:17Yeah. Is that a problem?
00:08:20Not at all. I'm just excited for you. Aaron James is a big deal.
00:08:29But Mia, I mean, he's rich and, like, so attractive. How can you resist him?
00:08:35No, I'll be fine.
00:08:37Guess I should get to know me. Should get to know me.
00:08:42Well, I guess he is a nice figure.
00:08:45Mia, you better be careful. I mean, I heard Aaron James is a real player.
00:08:50His personal life is a mess and he keeps girls on the side.
00:08:53Where did you hear this?
00:08:54I, uh, read it online somewhere.
00:08:57The internet is full of stories about him.
00:08:59Well, you don't have to worry. I'm only doing it for the money.
00:09:01Glad to hear it.
00:09:20Hello? Mr. James? It's Laura.
00:09:24I've made up my mind. I've decided to make a move.
00:09:27It's Laura. I've made up my mind. I've decided to be her fiancé.
00:09:47Oh, Mia, don't hate me. Who wouldn't want this?
00:09:57I'm sorry.
00:10:18I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry.
00:10:28Miss Jones, you can choose whichever room you like, except the master bedroom.
00:10:33No one goes in there without Mr. James.
00:10:58Morning, Mr. James.
00:11:08Going up.
00:11:22You know why I chose you to be my secretary?
00:11:24Because I'm plain?
00:11:27You should know that I don't love when women throw themselves at me.
00:11:30Oh, no, I didn't mean like that. I'm just... it's so hot in here.
00:11:35I don't think of you like that.
00:11:37You don't.
00:11:42You don't.
00:11:44No, I didn't mean like that. I...
00:11:58No.
00:12:10Sir, your dinner tonight is all set.
00:12:14Mr. James?
00:12:16We're not handsome anymore.
00:12:19What are you talking about? You were voted the most handsome air by Time magazine.
00:12:28My driver's on other business tonight.
00:12:30I'll meet her by the picnic over there.
00:12:42Nolan.
00:12:45Drive to the restaurant, pick up Mr. James. I just texted you the address.
00:12:48But I'm off the clock.
00:12:49You are a secretary now. Don't you want to impress your boss?
00:12:52The driver is picking up Mr. James' fiancée, so this is a perfect opportunity for you to step up.
00:12:57Mr. James has a fiancée?
00:13:02Mr. James has a fiancée?
00:13:04Yes, and there could be a wedding on the horizon.
00:13:21Luke, what's up?
00:13:23You're not home. Are you still working?
00:13:24Sorry, I had to drive my ice-cold boss to work this evening.
00:13:28What did you say?
00:13:31Luke, I have to go.
00:13:34I was just telling my friend how you're so wonderful and the best boss ever.
00:13:40Good one.
00:13:42James, is this the secretary?
00:13:46It's not quite, you know, it's the last one.
00:13:50But she's nice.
00:13:54Don't touch her.
00:14:07All this for a secretary?
00:14:09We have a $50 million contract.
00:14:11Not anymore.
00:14:13You lack decency.
00:14:15I'm out.
00:14:24Thank you, sir.
00:14:26You seem like you're ready to leave. Let me drive you home.
00:14:30Did that do it for you?
00:14:33Yes, actually. It was very noble of you.
00:14:38Do you still not think of me that way?
00:14:40No.
00:14:43It was very noble, though.
00:14:46I was somewhat impressed.
00:14:55Bye.
00:15:07Aaron will love this, won't he?
00:15:21Why is she here?
00:15:25Ugh.
00:15:33Mr. James, you're quite drunk.
00:15:35You should get some rest.
00:15:37I'm gonna go home now.
00:15:44That's it.
00:15:52Mr. James, what are you doing?
00:15:55I don't know.
00:16:08Mia Nolan, game on.
00:16:24Dad.
00:16:35Emma, bring me some water.
00:16:55Emma!
00:16:56I'll come to Mr. James.
00:16:57Please leave us.
00:16:58Yes, madam.
00:17:06Mr. James?
00:17:18What are you doing here?
00:17:25What are you doing here?
00:17:26You can't enter my room.
00:17:27I'm sorry, Mr. James.
00:17:28I just wanted to help you.
00:17:30What do you smell different?
00:17:32It's a new perfume.
00:17:33Do you like it?
00:17:34It's rose.
00:17:35Didn't Emma tell you?
00:17:36I can't stand the scent of roses.
00:17:39Get out of here.
00:17:55Honey, which perfume do you usually wear?
00:17:57I'm looking to try something new.
00:18:00He must have been so drunk and thought I was his fiancée.
00:18:08Luke gave it to me.
00:18:09It's a citrus scent.
00:18:24I'm sorry.
00:18:35Mr. James, I made breakfast.
00:18:44Mr. James, I made breakfast myself.
00:18:46I hope you enjoy it.
00:18:50It's my birthday today.
00:18:51Will you be at home for dinner tonight?
00:18:53No.
00:18:54But I will have something to eat.
00:19:08Stupid watch you made.
00:19:23Good morning, Mr. James.
00:19:26Come to my office.
00:19:32What can I do for you, Mr. James?
00:19:43What does he want with me?
00:19:44I hope it's not about last night.
00:19:46He clearly mistook me for someone else.
00:19:48You...
00:19:49I apologize, sir.
00:19:50Please don't be mad.
00:19:51Why would I be mad?
00:19:54I'd like you to come birthday gift shopping with me.
00:19:57For your fiancée?
00:19:59If you have so many questions.
00:20:01I'm sorry, sir.
00:20:02It's just today's my best friend's birthday, too.
00:20:16Mr. James.
00:20:18This is our global limited edition button.
00:20:20Perfect for your girlfriend.
00:20:22Oh, I'm not his girlfriend.
00:20:24I'll take this one.
00:20:25Yes, sir.
00:20:31That's $60,000.
00:20:32You're telling me a watch is $60,000?
00:20:34Yes, sir.
00:20:37I'll take the watch as well.
00:20:38That's $140,000 in all, Mr. James.
00:20:44$147,000?
00:20:46That's enough to cover my salary for a year.
00:20:56This is for you.
00:20:58Me?
00:21:03This is for you.
00:21:04Me?
00:21:06Mr. James, I can't take that.
00:21:07That's far too much money.
00:21:09I knew my secretary had been on time.
00:21:10Besides, this watch is more sturdy and will break like the last one.
00:21:14Do all secretaries get a watch?
00:21:17Instead of asking so many questions,
00:21:18I need you to record a proposal for tomorrow.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:34Can you drop me off at the old John's family restaurant?
00:21:36I have a dinner.
00:21:38You need to finish the proposal by tomorrow.
00:21:39I promise I'll finish it by tomorrow.
00:21:42Oh, slow down, slow down.
00:21:43That's it.
00:21:53Luke.
00:21:58These are for Laura.
00:21:59They're gorgeous.
00:22:00She'll love them.
00:22:04She's seeing someone.
00:22:09Ms. Jones,
00:22:10Mrs. James values you greatly
00:22:12and he asked me to make sure this gets to you tonight.
00:22:17This bag must have been expensive.
00:22:19Global limited edition.
00:22:20Owning it is the same as owning wealth and power.
00:22:24Thanks for coming by just to give this to me.
00:22:26Of course.
00:22:27You're Mr. James' fiance and this is my duty.
00:22:31I look forward to when you become Mrs. James.
00:22:34Thank you, Scarlett.
00:22:50No answer.
00:22:51She must be running late.
00:22:53You think she's still coming?
00:22:56Do you ever feel like
00:22:58Laura's hiding something?
00:23:03She looks like one of those gold digger types your boss dates.
00:23:05Look at that bag.
00:23:06It's a single Mr. James bought for his fiance.
00:23:08It's crazy expensive.
00:23:13Sorry, it's reserved.
00:23:15Sorry, it's reserved.
00:23:19Laura?
00:23:23Laura?
00:23:24Luke!
00:23:25It's been a few days.
00:23:26Did you really not recognize me?
00:23:28Changed quite a bit.
00:23:30You think so?
00:23:31I think I'm doing alright.
00:23:33Laura, how have you been?
00:23:35Couldn't be happier.
00:23:36I have a full scholarship now
00:23:38and it helped pay for her new wardrobe too.
00:23:40Laura, what's really going on?
00:23:41Mia, don't be jealous.
00:23:43No, it's not.
00:23:44I'm not.
00:23:45Laura, how can you say something like that to Mia?
00:23:47Wow, you've always taken Mia's side
00:23:49since we were kids.
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:51You two are a perfect match.
00:23:52You're both miserable.
00:23:53That's ridiculous.
00:23:55How can you even afford
00:23:56a limited edition bag on a scholarship?
00:23:59Fine.
00:24:00The truth is
00:24:01that it's a gift
00:24:02from my boyfriend.
00:24:03You have a boyfriend?
00:24:04Yes.
00:24:05And I love him
00:24:06and he's crazy about me
00:24:07and we're living together
00:24:08and that's all you need to know.
00:24:09Is he reliable?
00:24:10Are you into him or just his money?
00:24:12You think I'm not good enough for a rich man.
00:24:14And why so many questions, huh?
00:24:16You're just jealous.
00:24:17If you weren't like family to me,
00:24:18I wouldn't even care.
00:24:19What family?
00:24:21Mia, you and I are orphans
00:24:22who were adopted by Luke's parents.
00:24:24We're not related
00:24:25so stay out of my business.
00:24:26How can you say something like that?
00:24:28You should be ashamed.
00:24:29It's true.
00:24:30We're nothing to each other.
00:24:35We're nothing to each other.
00:24:37And since you don't seem to like my choices,
00:24:39let's not see each other anymore.
00:24:47Where are you going?
00:24:48Laura's naive.
00:24:49Let's see what she's up to.
00:24:55Could James matter?
00:24:58Come on, Luke.
00:24:59Let's get her.
00:25:10Hmm.
00:25:12My boss is new here.
00:25:18I think it's stalled.
00:25:36Mr. Pennyworth,
00:25:37what sort of flowers do girls usually like?
00:25:40Well,
00:25:42it depends on the kind of girl, sir.
00:25:45Well, she,
00:25:47she's someone like,
00:25:49like fresh air.
00:25:52Hmm.
00:25:53Daisies.
00:25:54She'll love them, sir.
00:26:08I'll call a tow truck.
00:26:09We'll find Laura another time.
00:26:12Okay.
00:26:16Miss, Miss Nolan, sir.
00:26:18Some form of gentleman.
00:26:26What the hell are they doing here?
00:26:37What the hell are they doing here?
00:26:46Mr. Pennyworth, who's in charge of the opening ceremony?
00:26:48Miss Nolan, sir.
00:26:50Tell her there's an issue with the opening ceremony.
00:26:52Have her come to the manager to resolve it immediately.
00:26:55Right away, sir.
00:27:01Miss Nolan,
00:27:02we've had some challenges with the preparations for the art show,
00:27:05and Mr. James requires your assistance this evening.
00:27:09Right now?
00:27:10But my car just broke down.
00:27:12Not to worry.
00:27:13I'll send a car right over.
00:27:15Okay.
00:27:19My boss needs me.
00:27:21Seems pretty needy.
00:27:23At least he pays well.
00:27:33Mr. James?
00:27:36I love the gift you got for me.
00:27:39And, uh,
00:27:40I have a gift for you too.
00:27:42It's in my room.
00:27:47Mr. Pennyworth,
00:27:48has Mayor arrived yet?
00:27:50Yes, sir.
00:27:51I'll bring her here.
00:28:06Madam?
00:28:07Are you looking for something?
00:28:11Madam?
00:28:13Are you looking for something?
00:28:16That woman's back.
00:28:17She looks...
00:28:18familiar.
00:28:20Madam?
00:28:21Are you alright?
00:28:24Have a good night.
00:28:36There's...
00:28:37there's nothing special in here.
00:28:40Do you have anything else?
00:28:41Sorry.
00:28:42I'll redo it.
00:28:47You seem displeased.
00:28:49Is this too much to ask?
00:28:50No, I'm happy to do it.
00:28:54So...
00:28:55so happy.
00:28:57I can hear you, you know.
00:28:59I can hear you.
00:29:01I can hear you.
00:29:02I can hear you.
00:29:03I can hear you.
00:29:04I can hear you, you know.
00:29:15Oh, nice flowers.
00:29:16Are those for your fiancée?
00:29:18Actually, it's her...
00:29:19Although I think you chose the wrong color, Mr. James.
00:29:22Her head's a little too much.
00:29:23A little too much.
00:29:24Yes.
00:29:27Right.
00:29:33So...
00:29:34Listen, no one prefers boring men.
00:29:38What did you say?
00:29:48Listen, no one prefers boring men.
00:29:51What did you say?
00:29:54Sir?
00:29:55Miss Jones is at the end line.
00:29:56You better come and see her.
00:30:00Excuse me.
00:30:08Miss Jones has an allergy.
00:30:10She'll be fine with antibiotics.
00:30:15Make sure she avoids citrus.
00:30:17There's no need for a follow-up.
00:30:24Get some rest.
00:30:26Mr. James,
00:30:28I'm an orphan.
00:30:30Nobody ever cared for me when I was sick.
00:30:32I couldn't even afford a hospital.
00:30:34You're the first person to ever care about me.
00:30:36It's nothing.
00:30:37Get well and avoid citrus.
00:30:40Mr. James,
00:30:42will you stay with me tonight?
00:30:48You found me.
00:30:50You found me.
00:30:52You found me.
00:30:53And now I'm your fiancé.
00:30:55Why are you pushing me away?
00:30:56I thought I was clear.
00:30:57This is a business arrangement.
00:30:59If you are unhappy,
00:31:00take a mummy and leave.
00:31:03Sir, Miss Nolan has left.
00:31:10Me and Nolan are moving with him!
00:31:21Mia did an excellent job
00:31:22on the proposal for the art show opening.
00:31:24Fantastic.
00:31:26And tonight is Leo's birthday reception.
00:31:28As you know,
00:31:29his family has been a significant supporter of the business.
00:31:31I'd like you to send a gift on their behalf.
00:31:33It's done already.
00:31:34I'll see you there tonight.
00:31:36I'd like Mia there, actually.
00:31:38She isn't experienced in this type of event.
00:31:41She probably doesn't even own a proper cocktail dress.
00:31:44Who's the boss here?
00:31:46Yes, sir.
00:31:52We'll get her.
00:31:54It's Jones!
00:31:58So you've been Aaron's assistant for...
00:32:00ten years now?
00:32:01And Mia Nolan's been here, what?
00:32:02A few months?
00:32:04She's what he wants.
00:32:05It's not up to me.
00:32:06She manipulates him.
00:32:08She pretends to be all innocent and harmless.
00:32:10But I promise you,
00:32:11she's planning something.
00:32:12I doubt that.
00:32:13She was at the manor the other night.
00:32:15Working late.
00:32:16What am I supposed to do about that?
00:32:18What are you saying?
00:32:19I heard her say she plans to replace you.
00:32:21What?
00:32:22She is the enemy.
00:32:24Miss Jones!
00:32:25We will take care of this.
00:32:28Yes, we will.
00:32:39Aaron!
00:32:40You're here!
00:32:42Have a seat.
00:32:44Happy birthday.
00:32:49I hear there's a girl at the manor.
00:32:51So you're finally doing it.
00:32:53Is she...
00:33:00Are you being blackmailed?
00:33:02This is my secretary.
00:33:05Oh!
00:33:08I see.
00:33:11Well, it's my birthday,
00:33:13and the night's not over
00:33:14until we are all drunk.
00:33:16Oh, I don't think I should.
00:33:18Bad things happen when I drink too much.
00:33:20Let's see it.
00:33:21If you can get me drunk,
00:33:23your company can have the next
00:33:25fifty million dollars in projects.
00:33:27Fifty million dollars?
00:33:32Fifty million dollars?
00:33:33Don't believe a word that he says.
00:33:36Mr. James,
00:33:37if we land this,
00:33:38it'll make up for the fifty million lost,
00:33:39in my honor.
00:33:40I have to try.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:59Snake eyes!
00:34:01You lose!
00:34:05Oh!
00:34:06I lose!
00:34:07Bottom's up.
00:34:15Okay, I'll clean up.
00:34:16You know what?
00:34:18No, we gotta go.
00:34:42Oh, you're so handsome.
00:34:44I need it again.
00:34:47Well,
00:34:49I guess
00:34:51it's time to get gonna.
00:34:52It's time to go.
00:35:09Hey!
00:35:11Hey!
00:35:12Hey!
00:35:14Hey!
00:35:16Oh, Mr. James, I had a little too much to drink tonight.
00:35:27If I did anything to offend you, I'm truly sorry.
00:35:30Do you remember anything?
00:35:32What happened?
00:35:38Oh, God.
00:35:46Oh, God.
00:35:56I'm so sorry about your suit. I'll pay for another one.
00:35:59Not a chance.
00:36:00At least let me get it to the cleaners.
00:36:02That won't be necessary.
00:36:05You've already closed a $5 million contract for me.
00:36:08I did?
00:36:09Get yourself cleaned up.
00:36:17I'm sorry.
00:36:23Mia got out of Mr. James' car this morning.
00:36:25Really?
00:36:26He takes her to all sorts of events.
00:36:28He must really like her.
00:36:30It's too bad for Scarlett.
00:36:33What are you talking about?
00:36:35Hi, Scarlett.
00:36:36It's nothing.
00:36:37You're the most trusted person around here.
00:36:40Mia's nothing.
00:36:42And you're the host for the opening ceremony of the charity art exhibition.
00:36:45I'm so nervous.
00:36:47How is the preparation going?
00:36:49We're on it.
00:37:01Ms. Jones, I know how to handle Mia.
00:37:06Scarlett, here's the oat milk latte you asked for.
00:37:14Mr. James, everything has been arranged.
00:37:16We're just waiting for Scarlett to give the opening speech.
00:37:18There's important business partners and heavy media players.
00:37:20We cannot afford to lose.
00:37:22Oh, please don't worry.
00:37:23I reviewed over everything. There shouldn't be any problems.
00:37:29I'm so sorry.
00:37:31I reviewed over everything. There shouldn't be any problems.
00:37:36Mr. James, Scarlett had an allergic reaction to something.
00:37:40Hurry, we have to help her.
00:37:48Looks like the show's about to begin.
00:37:54Mia, I told you I have a gluten allergy.
00:37:56You put oat milk in her coffee?
00:37:59It was a mistake. Scarlett wanted oat milk in her coffee.
00:38:02It doesn't matter now. Scarlett can't host the event.
00:38:04All this hard work was for nothing.
00:38:06Come on, Mia. We're in trouble now.
00:38:08I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.
00:38:10Get Scarlett to the hospital and find someone else to host the show.
00:38:12Mr. James, Mia can host the show.
00:38:15There's no way.
00:38:17She's only been with the company for a few months.
00:38:19She made the proposal.
00:38:22I'm sure she can do it.
00:38:24Wait.
00:38:30Wait.
00:38:35I believe in you.
00:38:37Then I'll try.
00:38:39Sir, you don't have a dressing room.
00:38:42I'll take care of it.
00:38:44Mia, here are the notes for the set.
00:39:00Aaron, why isn't the event starting yet?
00:39:02The leader's already here.
00:39:06Sir, it's past the start time and Ms. Nolan's not here.
00:39:09Is it possible she's not coming?
00:39:11Sorry I'm late.
00:39:13Aaron, why isn't the event starting yet?
00:39:15The leader's already here.
00:39:19Sir, it's past the start time and Ms. Nolan's not here.
00:39:22Is it possible she's not coming?
00:39:24Sorry I'm late.
00:39:33Sorry I'm late.
00:39:36Whoa.
00:39:40Is that dress from your James family collection?
00:39:46You'll wear this dress later.
00:39:48It's from your family's collection.
00:39:50I think it's too much for me.
00:39:51This is my wear.
00:39:55She's beautiful and familiar.
00:39:58I feel the same way.
00:40:00Distinguished guests,
00:40:02we'd like to extend our warmest welcome to all of you
00:40:04and begin the commencement of this charitable art exhibition.
00:40:07Is this the big show you were talking about?
00:40:10The real fun is about to begin.
00:40:12It is my distinguished honor to guide you through
00:40:14this showcased masterpiece.
00:40:21Where did the notes go?
00:40:35The Art of Modern Art
00:40:52Modern art, with its unique perspective, profound connotation,
00:40:56and endless creativity.
00:40:58It challenges the perspective and definition of beauty.
00:41:02She's your secretary, Mia Nolan.
00:41:04Yes, she is.
00:41:06That was the introduction for today's showcase.
00:41:08And the James family is devoted to helping avant-garde artists
00:41:11find their artistic perspective,
00:41:13while also continuing to further global causes.
00:41:16Thank you all for coming.
00:41:33May I take a photo for you?
00:41:36Everyone, please follow me to enjoy the exhibit.
00:41:44You look beautiful.
00:41:47Mia.
00:41:48Mr. Clark.
00:41:50Let's have a drink later, and maybe I can have your number?
00:41:53Mia, what are you doing?
00:41:58Mia, what are you doing?
00:42:00Trying to steal your secretary, I mean.
00:42:02Looking for a good one.
00:42:04Mia, I'll double your salary.
00:42:06I...
00:42:10She makes how much?
00:42:12Still want her?
00:42:21I'm tripling the salary.
00:42:23One more year, and I can buy a house in Harlem
00:42:25and live the life that I want.
00:42:30What was that?
00:42:31I told you to ditch her and not put on a damn show.
00:42:33She was lucky this time. Next time she won't be.
00:42:35You can kiss your job goodbye if you screw up like this again.
00:42:38I know.
00:42:52Mr. James, is everything okay?
00:42:56Have you been to Flancaster Hotel in Las Vegas?
00:43:02Have you been to Flancaster Hotel in Las Vegas?
00:43:15Is everything okay?
00:43:18Mia, are you feeling sick?
00:43:20I don't know. Recently I've been feeling nauseous.
00:43:23Are you pregnant?
00:43:26Can't be. I'm just feeling sick. It'll go away.
00:43:30Mia, what?
00:43:36I was late this month. Am I pregnant?
00:43:46Mia Nolan, your results are in.
00:43:49Congratulations. You're 42 days pregnant.
00:43:55Oh my God!
00:44:04Congratulations. You're 42 days pregnant.
00:44:09Remember, lots of rest and stay hydrated.
00:44:14Do you want to be a doctor?
00:44:16Stay hydrated.
00:44:19Do you want this?
00:44:21Yes. It's a gift from God.
00:44:31Where's Mia?
00:44:33She went to the hospital.
00:44:35Which one?
00:44:37This one.
00:44:45Mr. James, what are you doing here?
00:44:47Oh, I just happened to be passing by.
00:44:51Come on. I'll take you home.
00:45:01Not feeling well?
00:45:03My stomach.
00:45:05You should take a couple days rest.
00:45:08Does he realize it's his?
00:45:10Would he be happy?
00:45:12No. He's engaged.
00:45:14He had a one-night stand.
00:45:1715 Derrick Street, just ahead.
00:45:20You also live at 15 Derrick Street?
00:45:22My boss lives here.
00:45:24A friend?
00:45:36Thank you for the ride.
00:45:38You're welcome.
00:45:46Warner Jones. I'm at 15 Derrick Street. Hurry!
00:45:58Get CCTV footage from the Lancaster Hotel.
00:46:05The next day.
00:46:11What are you doing here?
00:46:13I heard you had a weak stomach, so I came by to make you dinner.
00:46:16Thank you. You're too kind.
00:46:19Well, dig in. I made your favorite.
00:46:23The next day.
00:46:34You all right?
00:46:36I'm fine. Just gonna get something to drink.
00:46:39I'll go.
00:46:53The next day.
00:47:04Mia, I want to talk to you.
00:47:06Me too. You first.
00:47:09I've loved you for a really long time.
00:47:12I know this may be a surprise.
00:47:14We grew up in the same house. You might see me as a brother, but...
00:47:17I really, truly love...
00:47:19Luke, I'm pregnant.
00:47:23Who's the father?
00:47:25That doesn't matter.
00:47:27What matters is I'm keeping the baby.
00:47:30You're gonna be a single mom?
00:47:33Does the father know?
00:47:35It was a one-night stand.
00:47:37You know I lose control when I'm drunk.
00:47:40It was a mistake, but I'm gonna move forward.
00:47:43I want this child.
00:47:45Are you sure?
00:47:47You know I love kids.
00:47:49And now that I have this chance, I...
00:47:51I want to give it a good home.
00:47:55Doesn't that sound nice?
00:47:59Okay.
00:48:01You know I got your back no matter what.
00:48:03And just so you know, I'm also totally cool raising this baby with you.
00:48:08I'm sorry, Luke.
00:48:10I just don't think of you like that.
00:48:12You'll always be my family.
00:48:17You gonna tell Laura?
00:48:19I will. The time's right.
00:48:22I'm not mad anymore.
00:48:24I'll always remember that time we were together.
00:48:27I'm not mad anymore.
00:48:29I'm not mad anymore.
00:48:31I'm not mad anymore.
00:48:33I'm not mad anymore.
00:48:35I'll always remember that time she saved my life.
00:48:41Ah!
00:48:47What's going on?
00:48:57We need to go to the hospital.
00:49:00No bus!
00:49:08Mia, you're awake!
00:49:10I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have...
00:49:12Laura, what happened?
00:49:14Ow.
00:49:15Wait, you don't remember?
00:49:17All I remember is falling down the stairs and then you saved me.
00:49:20Thank you, Laura.
00:49:22Of course. We're family.
00:49:30Mia's awake!
00:49:32Thank God Mia doesn't remember what happened.
00:49:34She thinks I'm the one who saved her.
00:49:36Luke, please don't tell her what I did.
00:49:38She won't understand.
00:49:40I promise I won't do it again.
00:49:46Luke, are you alright?
00:49:48Nothing.
00:49:50I'm sure you and Laura will figure it out.
00:49:52I hope so.
00:49:54I'm sorry.
00:49:56I'm sure you and Laura will figure it out.
00:49:58I hope so.
00:50:00Thanks, Luke.
00:50:17What?
00:50:19Mia's pregnant.
00:50:21From a one-night stand.
00:50:23Why are you so surprised?
00:50:25Excited for her.
00:50:27She wants to be a single mom.
00:50:29You know Mia. When she makes up her mind, there's no changing it.
00:50:32Be happy for her and go see her sometime.
00:50:34Yeah.
00:50:36I guess I will.
00:50:43What one-night stand?
00:50:45Was it Aaron's?
00:50:47Would you tell him?
00:50:50Scarlett!
00:50:52I need you to plan a little business trip for Miss Nolan.
00:50:55Right away.
00:50:57I'll send her to San Francisco with an awful car and terrible lodging.
00:51:00Excellent.
00:51:20Mia, it's ten o'clock. Why aren't you here yet?
00:51:22Mr. James?
00:51:24I'm at Scarlett's picking up a car for the meeting in San Francisco.
00:51:26You're dropping yourself to San Francisco?
00:51:28Uh, yes.
00:51:30Unless you need...
00:51:32Oh!
00:51:34Oh!
00:51:36Oh!
00:51:38Oh!
00:51:40Oh!
00:51:42Oh!
00:51:44Oh!
00:51:46Oh!
00:51:49Hello?
00:51:51Mia, hello?
00:52:01What's that smell?
00:52:03Are you sure this car is going to make it to San Francisco?
00:52:05Scarlett said you'd think so.
00:52:12You know what? Forget about this car.
00:52:14You're riding with me.
00:52:16You're going to San Francisco too?
00:52:18Turns out I have some business to attend to.
00:52:47This is the room that Scarlett put you in.
00:52:49I think it's great.
00:52:51I feel right at home.
00:52:53And thanks for the ride.
00:52:56Now let me get you a burger.
00:52:58Come on.
00:53:16Mr. James?
00:53:34Mr. James?
00:53:36Do you like kids?
00:53:41Mr. James?
00:53:43Do you like kids?
00:53:47Children are...
00:53:49the lowest return investment in the world.
00:53:51You work hard for decades, but...
00:53:53nothing will change.
00:53:55A parent shouldn't treat their child like an investment.
00:53:57I mean, how can you invest if you have nothing in return?
00:53:59I mean, what if your child becomes...
00:54:01a criminal or degenerates?
00:54:05You don't want children?
00:54:07No.
00:54:09What if someone shows up at your door one day with a child?
00:54:11Well...
00:54:13I'm getting married, and you're just an interest in my family.
00:54:15As far as it goes.
00:54:17No child for me.
00:54:34Mr. James?
00:54:36Don't you want to stay in your fancy hotel room tonight?
00:54:40The security here is basically non-existent, so...
00:54:43As your boss, it's my duty to secure your safety as one of your employees.
00:55:13No!
00:55:16Get out!
00:55:20No!
00:55:25Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!
00:55:27Please, Aaron! Aaron!
00:55:29Aaron!
00:55:31Aaron, the baby is yours!
00:55:33You're the father! Please, don't leave us!
00:55:37Aaron, please!
00:55:40Aaron!
00:55:49I am. How is he doing?
00:55:51I'm so very sorry for your loss.
00:55:59I'm so very sorry for your loss.
00:56:09Mia.
00:56:11Mr. James?
00:56:13I'm fine.
00:56:15Are you okay? Let me see.
00:56:17It's fine. It's nothing.
00:56:19Why did the doctor say that...
00:56:22How are you related to Mr. Robbins?
00:56:24Mr. Robbins?
00:56:26I don't know who that is.
00:56:40The doctor said that you should rest for a few days.
00:56:43I'll take care of everything at work.
00:56:45You don't have to worry about anything.
00:56:48Mia.
00:56:50Why were you crying?
00:56:55Mr. James.
00:56:58You are...
00:57:00very important to me.
00:57:02If anything were to happen to you, your family would come for me and I'd lose my job.
00:57:07You're worried about your job?
00:57:09Get some rest.
00:57:11I'll get you some lunch.
00:57:20Sir, we have an update with the hotel in Las Vegas.
00:57:31Unfortunately, we could not locate the footage from that night.
00:57:51What?
00:57:53Oh, she lucked out with that baby.
00:57:57But um...
00:58:01Mia?
00:58:03I will destroy you.
00:58:07It's the best apple pie in San Francisco.
00:58:19It's delicious.
00:58:21Luke got it for me once and I couldn't resist.
00:58:24Luke?
00:58:26Is that the boy you're seeing?
00:58:28Oh, no. We're not a couple.
00:58:30I'm single.
00:58:32You're not a couple.
00:58:34I was an orphan.
00:58:36Luke's family adopted me.
00:58:38They weren't rich or anything, but...
00:58:40they were amazing.
00:58:42Luke and I grew up like siblings.
00:58:44We've been through everything together.
00:58:47That's... that's heavy.
00:58:49I feel lucky.
00:59:01Aaron, stay with me.
00:59:04Aaron?
00:59:34Aaron?
00:59:44Mia?
00:59:46Mia.
00:59:55Wake up, Mia.
00:59:57He's engaged and hates kids.
01:00:05Mia, are you the girl from the Lancaster Hotel that night in Vegas?
01:00:14Good morning, Mr. James.
01:00:16Your shirt was torn, so I got you a new one.
01:00:19Where'd you get this?
01:00:21Department store.
01:00:25Couldn't find anything better.
01:00:27It's excellent quality, just off the rack.
01:00:31Excellent, huh?
01:00:34Just try it on.
01:00:50How do I look?
01:00:52Perfect. Looks great on you.
01:00:56If you hate it, I can get you something else.
01:00:58No. Look, I won't.
01:01:00No. Look, I won't.
01:01:19Mia, I need those flies right away.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:25I am so sorry, Mr. Clark.
01:01:27Oh, Mia, it's good to see you.
01:01:29You look beautiful. Have they been treating you well here?
01:01:31It's gonna leave a stain.
01:01:33I'm not worried about this shirt.
01:01:35Might you consider working for me?
01:01:37I appreciate that.
01:01:39It's my mistake. I'll get you a new shirt.
01:01:41Oh, so you want to see me out of this shirt.
01:01:55Aaron, how do I look?
01:01:59Uh, what are you wearing?
01:02:05How do I look?
01:02:07What are you wearing?
01:02:09Mia gave it to me.
01:02:11Oh. Well, Mia got me this shirt
01:02:13after we shared a motel room together,
01:02:15so I'd say she likes me a little bit more.
01:02:23You saw Mia and Clark together?
01:02:25They looked very comfortable together.
01:02:27Mia...
01:02:29Clark...
01:02:31has a nice ring to it.
01:02:35Mr. James!
01:02:37Isn't that something you two should be doing?
01:02:41I'm not paying you to do it.
01:02:43I'm sorry. Sorry.
01:02:49Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, no.
01:02:51I can do it myself, Mr. James.
01:02:53You're pregnant?
01:03:03That's private, Mr. James.
01:03:05Who's the father?
01:03:07Is it Luke?
01:03:09No, Luke is like my brother.
01:03:11Who is he?
01:03:13It's Leah.
01:03:15Weren't we together?
01:03:17What are you talking about?
01:03:19There's nothing else, Mr. James.
01:03:21Bowling was so popular.
01:03:25How dare you!
01:03:27I'm not the one who stepped down on my fiancé!
01:03:29What are you talking about?
01:03:31You know what? Forget it.
01:03:33I quit.
01:03:51Good news, Ms. Jones.
01:03:53Mia is no longer with the James Group.
01:03:55What happened?
01:03:57She tried to seduce Mr. James and Mr. Leo.
01:03:59But she's pregnant now.
01:04:01Mr. James is very upset.
01:04:03Erin knows she's pregnant?
01:04:05Yes.
01:04:13Erin can't find out that he's the father.
01:04:15I have to get rid of this kid.
01:04:21Hi, baby.
01:04:23Don't worry.
01:04:25I'll figure this out.
01:04:27A new job.
01:04:29A new life.
01:04:31Oh, Laura.
01:04:33What are you doing here?
01:04:35I felt bad after our argument the other day.
01:04:37I know you were just trying to help.
01:04:39I'd like to make it up to you.
01:04:41I'm sorry.
01:04:43Mia.
01:04:45On our family's behalf,
01:04:47I'm sorry.
01:04:49Mia.
01:04:51On our family.
01:04:53Forgive me, please.
01:04:55Please.
01:05:01By the way,
01:05:03is the little one okay?
01:05:05You know?
01:05:07Luke has such a big mouth.
01:05:09I bought you some stuff for the pregnancy.
01:05:11You seem unhappy.
01:05:13Thank you, Laura.
01:05:15I'm unemployed.
01:05:17I quit my job.
01:05:19And now I have to figure something out
01:05:21for me and the baby.
01:05:23Everything will be okay.
01:05:25Now, let's have some ice cream
01:05:27like we used to when we were little and something is bothering us.
01:05:29I'll be right back.
01:05:47Okay.
01:06:07Vanilla. Your favorite.
01:06:13I'm sorry, Mia.
01:06:15It'll ruin everything for me.
01:06:17I have to do this.
01:06:35What's going on with you?
01:06:39Tell me the truth.
01:06:41Mia's baby.
01:06:43It's yours.
01:06:45Mia's pregnant?
01:06:47So not yours.
01:06:49Not this one,
01:06:51but maybe the next.
01:06:53Her past doesn't bother you?
01:06:55Not at all.
01:06:57I like her. All of her.
01:06:59Don't you?
01:07:13Miss Nolan, Mr. James is in the study.
01:07:15Just a moment. I'll get him.
01:07:21Laura?
01:07:23What are you doing here?
01:07:25Ma'am, here's some hot milk.
01:07:27Ma'am?
01:07:29Laura, are you his fiancée?
01:07:31Mia, I can explain.
01:07:33What is there to say?
01:07:35Just sit down.
01:07:37I'm sorry.
01:07:39Fiancée?
01:07:41Mia, I can explain.
01:07:43What is there to say?
01:07:45Just go home, okay? We'll talk later.
01:07:47I need to speak to Mr. James.
01:07:49Mia!
01:07:51I wanted to tell you, okay?
01:07:53He found me.
01:07:55And he asked me to marry him.
01:07:57Mia, you and me, we're family.
01:07:59I have your blessing to marry Aaron, right?
01:08:01Family doesn't lie.
01:08:03You should have told me.
01:08:05For as long as I could remember,
01:08:07Mia, Mia, Mia, always in the spotlight.
01:08:09And you know, really, I can accept that.
01:08:11But with Aaron, I'm crazy about him.
01:08:13And I know you have feelings for him, too.
01:08:15But we're engaged. He's mine now.
01:08:17And after I saved you
01:08:19from that tumble down the stairs,
01:08:21you're seriously trying to steal the love of my life.
01:08:27What's wrong?
01:08:31Mia?
01:08:33Mia!
01:08:35Mia!
01:08:39Mia.
01:08:41Call the doctor!
01:08:55Thank God, you're finally awake.
01:09:03My baby.
01:09:05The baby's fine. Everything is gonna be okay.
01:09:07Miss Holland,
01:09:09did you eat anything unusual yesterday?
01:09:11It seems there was an abortifacient drug in your system.
01:09:13Luckily, we were able
01:09:15to save the baby.
01:09:21Laura gave me some ice cream
01:09:23before.
01:09:25Laura? Laura Jones?
01:09:27Yeah.
01:09:29We grew up together.
01:09:31Like family doctors from the kids.
01:09:37Laura's your fiancée and you're seeing Mia?
01:09:39Asshole!
01:09:45Laura's your fiancée and you're seeing Mia?
01:09:47Asshole!
01:09:49Two months ago,
01:09:51you got Mia pregnant in Las Vegas
01:09:53and you don't even want the baby?
01:09:55What is he talking about?
01:09:57What was I supposed to tell you?
01:09:59It's a one-night stand.
01:10:01Did you leave your phone at the hotel that night?
01:10:03And the screen, is there a picture of a girl?
01:10:05A girl with a baby shark?
01:10:07Yes, it is.
01:10:09I'm the baby shark.
01:10:11It's me wearing the costume.
01:10:13I can't believe it.
01:10:15I should've known.
01:10:17Laura was pretending it was her phone.
01:10:19The engagement between Laura and I is just a business engagement.
01:10:21I barely see her
01:10:23and I've never touched her.
01:10:25Don't believe that.
01:10:27She loves you.
01:10:29She said that I have to let her have you
01:10:31because she saved my life.
01:10:33She lied to you.
01:10:39She lied to you.
01:10:41She said that she's the one that saved your life all those years ago.
01:10:43The truth is,
01:10:45she's the one that pushed you down the stairs.
01:10:47Mia Nolan, you're better at everything!
01:10:49I hate you!
01:10:51Laura, I...
01:10:53Ah!
01:10:57What's going on?
01:10:59I didn't mean to!
01:11:01We were fighting!
01:11:03It was an accident!
01:11:05We need to go to the hospital.
01:11:07Why wouldn't you tell me the truth?
01:11:09I thought it was better that way.
01:11:13That may not be the only thing she's done.
01:11:15Remember San Francisco?
01:11:17Do you think she had something to do with the man who stabbed you?
01:11:21How would she even know I was there?
01:11:23Do you think someone
01:11:25from work told her?
01:11:27I'm gonna find out.
01:11:29Mia,
01:11:31I love you.
01:11:35Can you give me the chance to show you
01:11:37and our baby?
01:11:49Is Mia okay?
01:11:51Why didn't you tell me that you knew Mia this whole time?
01:11:53I'm sorry.
01:11:55So you knew that she was pregnant?
01:12:01So you knew that she was pregnant?
01:12:03I'm sorry.
01:12:05Why didn't you tell me
01:12:07that she was pregnant with someone else's child?
01:12:13I thought you liked her.
01:12:15I didn't want you to get hurt.
01:12:17She's a gold digger!
01:12:19She tried to seduce my best friend!
01:12:21I love you.
01:12:25I love you.
01:12:29I was wrong before.
01:12:31I shouldn't be with you.
01:12:33I'm gonna make an engagement banquet
01:12:35to announce you to my fiancé.
01:12:37That sounds wonderful.
01:12:51What are you doing here?
01:12:57What are you doing here?
01:13:03I've been here for years.
01:13:05And Mr. James relies on me.
01:13:07You're here a week
01:13:09and become his right hand
01:13:11just to leave in a few months.
01:13:13I always knew something was off about you.
01:13:21Is that the new Mrs. James?
01:13:23Right?
01:13:25Laura?
01:13:27Mia!
01:13:29Haven't seen you in a few days.
01:13:31You look awful.
01:13:33Hey!
01:13:35Apologize!
01:13:37She should apologize.
01:13:39How dare you speak to her that way?
01:13:41I treated you like my sister
01:13:43and you tried to seduce my fiancé?
01:13:45Is this how you repay me?
01:13:47Didn't know she had it in her.
01:13:49Shameful.
01:13:51What's going on here?
01:13:59What's going on here?
01:14:01Miss Nolan attacked Miss Laura!
01:14:03Aaron, I'm fine.
01:14:07Alright, everybody back to work.
01:14:09You, my office.
01:14:19She's so screwed.
01:14:21Oh, Mia.
01:14:23You asked for it.
01:14:31How much longer do you have to pretend?
01:14:33Just a little longer.
01:14:35Scarlett is helping Laura and we need proof.
01:14:37Let's find it quickly. I can't stand you that long.
01:14:39What is this?
01:14:49This
01:14:51is a James family heirloom.
01:14:53It belongs to my mother.
01:14:57There's two in the family?
