00:00:00How many drinks did I have last night?
00:00:21Where are my glasses?
00:00:38Oh God! I slept with my boss last night.
00:00:51Mia, are you seeing anyone these days?
00:00:54Are you still a virgin at 25?
00:00:57No, no. I have another.
00:00:59You are losing your virginity tonight.
00:01:02You guys are crazy.
00:01:04She's going to get so wasted that she drinks anymore.
00:01:07How else is she going to be able to get herself to do it?
00:01:09Mia, we got a handsome man for you tonight.
00:01:20Oh my God!
00:01:32What are you doing here?
00:01:34This is my room.
00:01:36Oh, you must be the guy Fiona was telling me about.
00:01:39Fiona?
00:01:41He drank more than I did.
00:01:51He'll put you up for it.
00:02:11I've got to get out of here.
00:02:41Mia, where were you last night?
00:02:55I was in Las Vegas for a bachelorette party.
00:02:59Today's the deadline for my college tuition.
00:03:01Did you make all my calls on purpose?
00:03:03I didn't hear my phone ring.
00:03:05Wait, when did you call me?
00:03:08Ten texts and five calls.
00:03:10Follow this person's report.
00:03:14Laura, I think I lost my phone.
00:03:16What?
00:03:17Look, if you're tired of me being a burden
00:03:19and don't want to cough up my tuition anymore,
00:03:21can you just say so?
00:03:22No need to make up excuses.
00:03:23No, that's not it at all.
00:03:25I lost my phone.
00:03:26Laura, we've known each other since childhood.
00:03:29You're my family.
00:03:30I would never lie to you.
00:03:32I promise I'll transfer over the money as soon as I can.
00:03:39Shoot, I'm going to be late for work.
00:03:41Wait, you got a job?
00:03:43Please tell me it's not dressing up like a shark
00:03:45outside the laundromat and handing out flyers.
00:03:47That would be so embarrassing.
00:03:48No, it's not.
00:03:49I got an internship at a big company.
00:04:05Hello?
00:04:12Is this your phone?
00:04:14You found the phone?
00:04:16Bring it to me.
00:04:17What's your name?
00:04:18Laura Jones.
00:04:19I'm at 15 Derrick Street.
00:04:20Hurry.
00:04:25Sir, it seems your grandfather is once again inquiring
00:04:28about the subject of marriage.
00:04:30Moreover, the family has become aware of your evening
00:04:33in Vegas with the young lady.
00:04:36They wish to know her identity and when to expect
00:04:38an engagement announcement.
00:04:42Laura Jones on Derrick Street.
00:04:44Find her for me.
00:04:46Yes, sir.
00:04:55Please, give me another chance.
00:04:57You are fired.
00:04:58Just go.
00:05:00Please stop.
00:05:01Please stop.
00:05:10What's going on here?
00:05:12The new secretary tried to seduce the boss.
00:05:14She was fired.
00:05:16Mr. James hates gold diggers.
00:05:22Avoid those types in the future.
00:05:24Yes, Mr. James.
00:05:25We must find a new secretary right away.
00:05:34He didn't recognize me.
00:05:36He must have been pretty drunk last night.
00:05:39Her scent.
00:05:41That's familiar.
00:05:44Wait.
00:05:51Who are you?
00:05:52I'm Mia Nolan, sir.
00:05:54Your new intern.
00:05:57Nolan.
00:05:59I'd like you to be my new secretary.
00:06:02But she started a week ago.
00:06:13You go, girl.
00:06:15Why me?
00:06:16Look at you.
00:06:17No way you'd ever seduce the boss for money.
00:06:19I'm nowhere near qualified to be a secretary.
00:06:22Ten grand a month.
00:06:24Are you willing to bust that up?
00:06:25Ten grand?
00:06:37Ten grand.
00:06:49This is Aaron James, heir to the James family name and CEO of the family company.
00:07:01Laura Jones.
00:07:05I saw you in Vegas last night at the Lancaster Hotel.
00:07:08Lancaster Hotel.
00:07:11I found your phone in the hotel room.
00:07:13I just came to give it back to you.
00:07:18The James family requires Aaron to be married by the end of the month.
00:07:22You'll receive two million dollars for your discretion.
00:07:25Move into the James family manor and be Aaron's fiance.
00:07:31Our relationship would strictly be business.
00:07:34If I make any advances towards you, you'd be a decoy to help relieve pressure from our family.
00:07:39I expect to hear an answer within three days.
00:07:47Aaron James thought it was me from the photo on Mia's phone.
00:08:00Laura, guess what?
00:08:07I got a promotion and a new phone.
00:08:11Laura, it pays ten thousand dollars a month.
00:08:13So now you can focus on your studies without having to worry anymore.
00:08:16Mia, I'm moving out.
00:08:18What?
00:08:20Why do you suddenly want to move out?
00:08:22Uh.
00:08:25Who's calling?
00:08:31Who's calling?
00:08:34Uh, probably just a telemarketer.
00:08:38I got accepted for a university scholarship.
00:08:41Oh, I'm so happy for you, Laura.
00:08:44And, uh, now I think it's time for me to move out.
00:08:46I mean, I'm 22. I should live on my own.
00:08:48You're right. I support your decision.
00:08:51Thank you, Mia.
00:08:53So, you got a promotion today.
00:08:56You're looking at the new secretary for Aaron James.
00:09:03Aaron James? Like the CEO of James Group?
00:09:07Yeah. Is that a problem?
00:09:10Not at all. I'm just excited for you.
00:09:15Aaron James is a big deal.
00:09:20But Mia, I mean, he's rich and, like, so attractive.
00:09:25How can you resist him?
00:09:27No, I'll be fine.
00:09:39Well, I guess he is a nice figure.
00:09:42Mia, you better be careful.
00:09:44I mean, I heard Aaron James is a real player.
00:09:48His personal life is a mess, and he keeps girls on the side.
00:09:51Where did you hear this?
00:09:52I, uh, read it online somewhere.
00:09:55The Internet is full of stories about him.
00:09:57Well, you don't have to worry. I'm only doing it for the money.
00:10:00Glad to hear it.
00:10:18Hello? Mr. James? It's Laura.
00:10:23I've made up my mind. I've decided to be your fiancé.
00:10:28Oh, Mia, don't hate me. Who wouldn't want this?
00:10:32Oh, Mia, don't hate me. Who wouldn't want this?
00:11:02I'm sorry.
00:11:20I'm sorry.
00:11:22I'm sorry.
00:11:31Miss Jones, you can choose whichever room you like, except the master bedroom.
00:11:36No one goes in there without Mr. James.
00:11:53Morning, Mr. James.
00:12:06Going up.
00:12:23No.
00:12:30You know why I chose you to be my secretary?
00:12:33Because I'm playing?
00:12:35You should know that I don't love when women throw themselves at me.
00:12:39Oh, no, I didn't mean like that. I'm just, it's so hot in here.
00:12:44I don't think of you like that.
00:12:46You don't.
00:12:52You don't.
00:12:54No, I didn't mean like that. I...
00:13:03Going up.
00:13:22Sir, your dinner tonight is all set.
00:13:26Mr. James?
00:13:29I'm not handsome anymore.
00:13:32What are you talking about? You were voted the most handsome heir by Time magazine.
00:13:42My job is on other business tonight. I'll need a ride to pick me up after dinner.
00:13:52Going up.
00:13:58Nolan.
00:14:01Drive to the restaurant, pick up Mr. James. I just texted you the address.
00:14:04But I'm off the clock.
00:14:06You are a secretary now. Don't you want to impress your boss?
00:14:09The driver is picking up Mr. James' fiancée, so this is a perfect opportunity for you to step up.
00:14:14Mr. James has a fiancée?
00:14:17Mr. James has a fiancée?
00:14:19Yes, and there could be a wedding on the horizon.
00:14:38Luke, what's up?
00:14:40You're not home. Are you still working?
00:14:42Sorry, I had to drive my ice-cold boss to work this evening.
00:14:46What did you say?
00:14:49Luke, I have to go.
00:14:52I was just telling my friend how you're so wonderful and the best boss ever.
00:14:59Good one.
00:15:02James, is this the secretary?
00:15:05He's not quite, you know...
00:15:07Is this the secretary?
00:15:09He's not quite, you know...
00:15:11It's the last one.
00:15:13But she's nice.
00:15:17Don't touch her!
00:15:32All this for a secretary?
00:15:34We have a $50 million contract.
00:15:36Not anymore.
00:15:38You lack decency.
00:15:40I'm out.
00:15:50Thank you, sir.
00:15:52You seem like you're ready to leave.
00:15:54Let me drive you home.
00:15:57Did that do it for you?
00:15:59Yes, actually.
00:16:01It was very noble of you.
00:16:04Do you still not think of me that way?
00:16:07No.
00:16:11It was very noble, though.
00:16:14I'm somewhat impressed.
00:16:19Get in there.
00:16:34Aaron will love this tonight.
00:16:50Why is she here?
00:17:04Mr. James, you're quite drunk.
00:17:07You should get some rest.
00:17:09I'm going to go home now.
00:17:25Mr. James, what are you doing?
00:17:33Mia Nolan, game on.
00:18:03Emma, bring me some water.
00:18:34Emma, I'll tend to Mr. James.
00:18:36Please leave us.
00:18:38Yes, madame.
00:18:47Mr. James?
00:19:00What are you doing here?
00:19:02What are you doing here?
00:19:06What are you doing here?
00:19:08You can't enter my room.
00:19:10I'm sorry, Mr. James.
00:19:12I just wanted to help you.
00:19:14What do you smell different?
00:19:16It's a new perfume.
00:19:18Do you like it?
00:19:20It's rose.
00:19:22Didn't Emma tell you?
00:19:24I can't stand the scent of roses.
00:19:26Get out of here.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:40Honey, which perfume do you usually wear?
00:19:42I'm looking to try something new.
00:19:45You must have been so drunk and thought I was his fiancée.
00:19:54Luke gave it to me.
00:19:56It's a citrus scent.
00:20:02It's a citrus scent.
00:20:08She likes it.
00:20:23Mr. James, I made breakfast.
00:20:33Mr. James, I made breakfast myself.
00:20:35I hope you enjoy it.
00:20:39It's my birthday today.
00:20:41Will you be home for dinner tonight?
00:20:43Uh, no.
00:20:45But I will have something scent.
00:20:47What?
00:21:01Stupid watch when you're late.
00:21:17Good morning, Mr. James.
00:21:20Come to my office.
00:21:27What can I do for you, Mr. James?
00:21:39What does he want with me?
00:21:41I hope it's not about last night.
00:21:43He clearly mistook me for someone else.
00:21:45You.
00:21:46I apologize, sir. Please don't be mad.
00:21:48Why would I be mad?
00:21:51I'd like you to come birthday gift shopping with me.
00:21:54For your fiancée?
00:21:56You asked too many questions.
00:21:58I'm sorry, sir. It's just today's my best friend's birthday, too.
00:22:15Mr. James.
00:22:18Mr. Global Limited Edition Bud.
00:22:20Perfect for your girlfriend.
00:22:22Oh, I'm not his girlfriend.
00:22:24We'll take this one.
00:22:26Yes, sir.
00:22:31That's $60,000.
00:22:33You're telling me a watch is $60,000?
00:22:35Yes, sir.
00:22:38I'll take the watch as well.
00:22:40That's $140,000 in all, Mr. James.
00:22:46$147,000?
00:22:48That's enough to cover my salary for a year.
00:22:59Is this for you?
00:23:01Me?
00:23:07Is this for you?
00:23:08Me?
00:23:10Mr. James, I can't take that. That's far too much money.
00:23:13I knew my secretary had been on time.
00:23:15Besides, this watch is more sturdy and it'll break like the last one.
00:23:19Do all secretaries get a watch?
00:23:22Instead of asking so many questions, I need you to record a proposal for tomorrow.
00:23:27I'm sorry.
00:23:41Can you drop me off at the old John's Family Restaurant?
00:23:43I have a dinner.
00:23:45You need to finish the proposal for tomorrow.
00:23:47I promise I'll finish it by tomorrow.
00:23:50Oh, slow down, slow down. That's it.
00:23:56Okay.
00:24:05Luke!
00:24:10These are for Laura.
00:24:12They're gorgeous. She'll love them.
00:24:17She's seeing someone.
00:24:20Miss Jones?
00:24:22Mrs. James values you greatly and he asked me to make sure this gets to you tonight.
00:24:29This bag must have been expensive.
00:24:31Global limited edition.
00:24:33Owning it is the same as owning wealth and power.
00:24:37Thanks for coming by just to give this to me.
00:24:39Of course. You're Mr. James' fiancée and this is my duty.
00:24:44I look forward to when you become Mrs. James.
00:24:46I look forward to when you become Mrs. James.
00:24:49Thank you, Scarlett.
00:25:08No answer. She must be running late.
00:25:10Do you think she's still coming?
00:25:13Do you ever feel like Laura's hiding something?
00:25:21She looks like one of those gold digger types your boss hates.
00:25:23Look at that bag. It's the same one Mr. James bought for his fiancée.
00:25:27It's crazy expensive.
00:25:32Sorry, it's reserved.
00:25:36Laura?
00:25:38Laura?
00:25:40Luke, it's been a few days. Did you really not recognize me?
00:25:44You've changed quite a bit.
00:25:46You think so?
00:25:48I think I'm doing alright.
00:25:50Laura, how have you been?
00:25:52Couldn't be happier.
00:25:54I have a full scholarship now and it helped pay for a new wardrobe too.
00:25:57Laura, what's really going on?
00:25:59Mia, don't be jealous.
00:26:01No, it's not. I'm not.
00:26:03Laura, how can you say something like that to Mia?
00:26:06Wow, you've always taken Mia's side since we were kids.
00:26:09You know what? You two are a perfect match. You're both miserable.
00:26:12That's ridiculous.
00:26:14How can you even afford a limited edition bag on a scholarship?
00:26:19Fine. The truth is that it's a gift from my boyfriend.
00:26:23You have a boyfriend?
00:26:25Yes, and I love him and he's crazy about me and we're living together and that's all you need to know.
00:26:29Is he reliable? Are you into him or just his money?
00:26:34You think I'm not good enough for a rich man.
00:26:37And why so many questions, huh? You're just jealous.
00:26:40If you weren't like family to me, I wouldn't even care.
00:26:42What family?
00:26:44Mia, you and I are orphans who were adopted by Luke's parents.
00:26:47We're not related, so stay out of my business.
00:26:50How can you say something like that? You should be ashamed.
00:26:53It's true. We're nothing to each other.
00:27:00We're nothing to each other.
00:27:02And since you don't seem to like my choices, let's not see each other anymore.
00:27:13Where are you going?
00:27:14Laura's naive. Let's see what she's up to.
00:27:21To James Manor.
00:27:25Come on, Luke. Let's get her.
00:27:32Come on.
00:27:43My boss knows you're here.
00:27:50I think it's stalled.
00:28:03Mr. Pennyworth.
00:28:05What sort of flowers do girls usually like?
00:28:08Well, it depends on the kind of girl, sir.
00:28:13Well, she... she's someone like... like fresh air.
00:28:22Daisies. She'll love them, sir.
00:28:26I'll call a tow truck. We'll find Laura another time.
00:28:28Okay.
00:28:35Miss Nolan.
00:28:40Hello.
00:28:41I'll call a tow truck, we'll find Laura another time.
00:28:50Okay.
00:28:52Miss Nolan, sir.
00:28:56Some form of gentleman.
00:29:05What the hell are they doing here?
00:29:11Mr. Penrith, who's in charge of the opening ceremony?
00:29:27Miss Nolan, sir.
00:29:28Tell her there's an issue with the opening ceremony and have her come to the manor to
00:29:31resolve it immediately.
00:29:32Right away, sir.
00:29:33Miss Nolan.
00:29:34We've had some challenges with the preparations for the art show and Mr. James requires your
00:29:47assistance this evening.
00:29:50Right now?
00:29:51But my car just broke down.
00:29:52Not to worry.
00:29:53I'll send a car right over.
00:29:54Okay.
00:29:55My boss needs me.
00:29:56He seems pretty needy.
00:30:03He should be as well.
00:30:16Mr. James, I love the gift you got for me and I have a gift for you too.
00:30:26It's in my room.
00:30:32Mr. Penrith, has Mia arrived yet?
00:30:35Yes, sir.
00:30:36I'll bring her here.
00:30:37Madam, are you looking for something?
00:30:50Madam, are you looking for something?
00:31:03That woman's back.
00:31:04She looks familiar.
00:31:06Madam, are you all right?
00:31:11Have a good night.
00:31:33There's nothing special in here.
00:31:35Do you have anything else?
00:31:38Sorry.
00:31:39I'll redo it.
00:31:45You seem displeased.
00:31:46Is this too much to ask?
00:31:47No, I'm happy to do it.
00:31:48I can hear you, you know.
00:31:49Oh, nice flowers.
00:31:50Are those for your fiancé?
00:32:11Actually, it's...
00:32:12Oh, no.
00:32:13I think you chose the wrong color, Mr. James.
00:32:14Red's a little too much.
00:32:15Nah, that's right.
00:32:20What?
00:32:21What's up?
00:32:23Mrs. Nolan defers boring man.
00:32:29What did you say?
00:32:35Mrs. Nolan defers boring man.
00:32:40What did you say?
00:32:43Sir, Ms. Jones isn't feeling well. You'd better come and see her.
00:32:51Excuse me.
00:33:00Ms. Jones has an allergy. She'll be fine with antibiotics.
00:33:07Make sure she avoids citrus. There's no need for a follow-up.
00:33:22Get some rest.
00:33:24Mr. James, I'm an orphan. Nobody ever cared for me when I was sick. I couldn't even afford a hospital. You're the first person to ever care about me.
00:33:35It's nothing. Get well and avoid citrus.
00:33:39Mr. James, will you stay with me tonight?
00:33:43No.
00:33:48You found me and now I'm your fiancé. Why are you pushing me away?
00:33:53I thought I was clear. This is a business arrangement. If you are unhappy, take the money and leave.
00:34:00Sir, Ms. Nolan has left.
00:34:07Me and Nolan, I won't let you have him!
00:34:13Mia did an excellent job on the proposal for the art show opening.
00:34:17Fantastic.
00:34:19And tonight is Leo's birthday reception. As you know, his family has been a significant supporter of the business. I'd like you to send a gift on their behalf.
00:34:28It's done already. I'll see you there tonight.
00:34:31I'd like Mia there, actually.
00:34:33She's inexperienced in this type of event. She probably doesn't even own a proper cocktail dress.
00:34:39Who's the boss here?
00:34:41Yes, sir.
00:34:48We'll get her.
00:34:50Ms. Jones!
00:34:55So you've been Aaron's assistant for ten years now? And Mia Nolan's been here, what, a few months?
00:35:01She's what he wants. It's not up to me.
00:35:05She manipulates him.
00:35:06She pretends to be all innocent and harmless, but I promise you, she's planning something.
00:35:11I doubt that.
00:35:13She was at the manor the other night, working late. What am I supposed to do about that?
00:35:17What are you saying?
00:35:19I heard her say she plans to replace you.
00:35:22What?
00:35:24She's the enemy.
00:35:26Ms. Jones, we will take care of this.
00:35:29Yes, we will.
00:35:36Aaron, you're here!
00:35:38Have a seat.
00:35:40Happy birthday.
00:35:46I hear there's a girl at the manor.
00:35:49So you're finally doing it.
00:35:51Is she...
00:35:58I don't know.
00:36:00I don't know.
00:36:02I don't know.
00:36:04Are you being blackmailed?
00:36:06This is my secretary.
00:36:10Oh.
00:36:13I see.
00:36:16Well, it's my birthday, and the night's not over until we are all drunk.
00:36:22Oh, I don't think I should. Bad things happen when I drink too much.
00:36:26Let's see it.
00:36:27If you can get me drunk, your company can have the next $50 million in projects.
00:36:34$50 million?
00:36:38$50 million?
00:36:40Don't believe a word that he says.
00:36:43Mr. James, if we land this, it'll make up for the $50 million lost, my honor.
00:36:48I have to try.
00:36:50Cheers.
00:37:03Snake eyes!
00:37:05You lose!
00:37:10Oh!
00:37:12Oh!
00:37:14Oh!
00:37:16Oh!
00:37:18Oh!
00:37:20I lose!
00:37:22Bottom's up.
00:37:26Woo!
00:37:29Okay, okay, you know what?
00:37:32No, we gotta go.
00:37:36Come on.
00:37:47Come on.
00:37:59Oh, you're so handsome.
00:38:01I need it again.
00:38:03Oh!
00:38:16Oh, you're so handsome.
00:38:19I need it again.
00:38:32Oh!
00:38:38Oh!
00:38:43Mr. James!
00:38:45I had a little too much to drink tonight.
00:38:48If I did anything to offend you, I'm truly sorry.
00:38:51Do you remember anything?
00:38:53What happened?
00:39:00Oh, God.
00:39:02Oh, God.
00:39:20I'm so sorry about your suit.
00:39:22I'll pay for another one.
00:39:24Not a chance.
00:39:26At least let me get it to the cleaners.
00:39:28That won't be necessary.
00:39:29You've already closed a five million dollar contract for me.
00:39:32I did?
00:39:34Yes, I did.
00:39:48Mia got out of Mr. James' car this morning.
00:39:51Really?
00:39:53He chased her to all sorts of events.
00:39:55He must really like her.
00:39:57It's too bad for Scarlett.
00:40:00What are you talking about?
00:40:02Hi, Scarlett.
00:40:04It's nothing.
00:40:06You're the most trusted person around here.
00:40:08Mia's nothing.
00:40:10And you're the host for the opening ceremony of the charity art exhibition.
00:40:13That's all that matters.
00:40:15How is the preparation going?
00:40:17We're on it.
00:40:19We're on it.
00:40:30Ms. Jones?
00:40:32I know how to handle Mia.
00:40:43Scarlett, here's the oat milk latte you asked for.
00:40:52Mr. James, everything has been arranged.
00:40:55We're just waiting for Scarlett to give the opening speech.
00:40:56There's important business partners and heavy-weight media players.
00:40:59We cannot afford to make any mistakes.
00:41:01Oh, please don't worry.
00:41:03I reviewed over everything.
00:41:05There shouldn't be any problems.
00:41:08Mr. James!
00:41:10Scarlett had an allergic reaction to something.
00:41:13Hurry, we have to help her.
00:41:21Looks like the show's about to begin.
00:41:24Mia, I told you I have a gluten allergy.
00:41:27You put oat milk in her coffee?
00:41:30It was a mistake.
00:41:32Scarlett wanted oat milk in her coffee.
00:41:34Doesn't matter now.
00:41:36Scarlett can't host the event.
00:41:38All this hard work was for nothing.
00:41:40Come on, Mia.
00:41:42You're in trouble now.
00:41:44I'm so sorry.
00:41:46It's all my fault.
00:41:48Get Scarlett to the hospital and find someone else to show.
00:41:50Mr. James, Mia can host the show.
00:41:51I...
00:41:53There's no way!
00:41:55She's only been with the company for a few months.
00:41:57I'm...
00:41:59She made the proposal.
00:42:01I'm sure she can do it.
00:42:03Wait.
00:42:10Wait.
00:42:16I believe in you.
00:42:18Then I'll try.
00:42:21It's her.
00:42:23We don't have a dressing room.
00:42:25I'll take care of her.
00:42:27Mia,
00:42:29here are the notes for this segment.
00:42:52Aaron,
00:42:54why isn't the event starting yet?
00:42:56Mia's already here.
00:43:00Sir, it's past the start time
00:43:02and Miss Nolan's not here.
00:43:04Is it possible she's not coming?
00:43:06Sorry I'm late.
00:43:15Sorry I'm late.
00:43:22Is that dress from the James family collection?
00:43:29You'll wear this dress later.
00:43:31It's from your family's collection.
00:43:33I think it's too much for me.
00:43:35This is my lawyer.
00:43:38She's beautiful
00:43:40and familiar.
00:43:43I feel the same way.
00:43:45Distinguished guests,
00:43:47we'd like to extend our warmest welcome to all of you
00:43:48and begin the commencement
00:43:50of this charitable art exhibition.
00:43:52Is this the big show you were talking about?
00:43:55The real fun is about to begin.
00:43:57It is my distinguished honor
00:43:59to guide you through
00:44:01these showcased masterpieces.
00:44:07Where did the notes go?
00:44:19Where did the notes go?
00:44:43Modern art,
00:44:45with its unique perspective,
00:44:46profound connotation,
00:44:48and endless creativity.
00:44:50It challenges
00:44:52the perspective
00:44:53and definition of beauty.
00:44:55She's your secretary, Mia Nolan.
00:44:57Yes, she is.
00:44:59That was the introduction for today's showcase
00:45:01and the James family is devoted
00:45:03to helping avant-garde artists
00:45:05find their artistic perspective
00:45:07while also continuing to further global causes.
00:45:09Thank you all for coming.
00:45:28May I take a photo for you?
00:45:31Everyone,
00:45:33please follow me to enjoy the exhibit.
00:45:40You look beautiful.
00:45:43Mia!
00:45:44Mr. Clark.
00:45:46Let's have a drink later
00:45:48and maybe I can have your number?
00:45:50Mia, what are you doing?
00:45:55Mia, what are you doing?
00:45:57Trying to steal your secretary oven.
00:45:59Looking for a good one.
00:46:01Mia, I'll double your salary.
00:46:03I...
00:46:08She makes how much?
00:46:10Still want her?
00:46:15I'm tripling your salary.
00:46:17One more year and I can buy a house
00:46:19and finally live the life that I want.
00:46:26What was that?
00:46:28I told you to ditch her
00:46:30and not put on a damn show.
00:46:32She was lucky this time.
00:46:34Next time she won't be.
00:46:36You can kiss your job goodbye
00:46:38if you screw up like this again.
00:46:40I know.
00:46:44Bye.
00:46:55Mr. James,
00:46:57is everything okay?
00:47:01Have you been to
00:47:03Lancaster Hotel in Las Vegas?
00:47:07Have you been to
00:47:09Lancaster Hotel in Las Vegas?
00:47:15Is everything okay?
00:47:19Mia, are you feeling sick?
00:47:21I don't know.
00:47:23Recently I've been feeling nauseous.
00:47:25Are you pregnant?
00:47:28Can't be.
00:47:30I'm just feeling sick.
00:47:32It'll go away.
00:47:34Give me your wallet.
00:47:40I was late this morning.
00:47:42I was late this morning.
00:47:44Am I pregnant?
00:47:53Mia Nolan,
00:47:55your results are in.
00:48:00Congratulations.
00:48:02You're 42 days pregnant.
00:48:07Oh my God!
00:48:12Congratulations.
00:48:14You're 42 days pregnant.
00:48:18Remember,
00:48:20lots of rest and stay hydrated.
00:48:24Do you want this?
00:48:26Yes.
00:48:28Take it from God.
00:48:41Where's Mia?
00:48:43She went to the hospital.
00:48:46Which one?
00:48:56Mr. James,
00:48:58what are you doing here?
00:48:59Oh, I just
00:49:01happen to be
00:49:02passing by.
00:49:03Come on,
00:49:04I'll take you home.
00:49:12Ugh.
00:49:14Not feeling well?
00:49:16My stomach.
00:49:18You should take a couple days to rest.
00:49:21Does he realize it's his?
00:49:23Would he be happy?
00:49:25No,
00:49:26he's engaged.
00:49:28We had a one night stand.
00:49:3115 Derrick Street is just up ahead.
00:49:35You also live at 15 Derrick Street?
00:49:37Moss lives here.
00:49:39A friend.
00:49:56Thank you for the ride.
00:50:07Lauren Jones, I'm at 15 Derrick Street, hurry!
00:50:11Fuck.
00:50:18Get CCTV footage from the Lancaster Hotel.
00:50:30What are you doing here?
00:50:32Oh,
00:50:33I heard you had a weak stomach,
00:50:34so I came by to make you dinner.
00:50:38You're too kind.
00:50:40Well,
00:50:41dig in, I made your favorite.
00:50:56You alright?
00:50:58I'm fine.
00:51:00Just gonna get something to drink.
00:51:01I'll go.
00:51:10Water.
00:51:29Mia, I want to talk to you.
00:51:31Me too.
00:51:33You first.
00:51:35I've loved you for a really long time.
00:51:38I know this may be a surprise,
00:51:40we grew up in the same house,
00:51:41you might see me as a brother, but
00:51:43I really truly love-
00:51:44Luke, I'm pregnant.
00:51:51I really truly love you-
00:51:52Luke, I'm pregnant.
00:51:56Who's-
00:51:57who's the father?
00:51:58That doesn't matter.
00:52:00What matters is
00:52:01I'm keeping the baby.
00:52:04You're gonna be a single mom?
00:52:07Does the father know?
00:52:08It was a one night stand.
00:52:10You know I lose control when I'm drunk.
00:52:13It was a mistake, but
00:52:15I'm gonna move forward.
00:52:17I want this child.
00:52:19Are you sure?
00:52:21You know I love kids.
00:52:23And now that I have this chance, I
00:52:25I want to give it a good home.
00:52:29Doesn't that sound nice?
00:52:34Okay.
00:52:36Well, you know I got your back no matter what.
00:52:39And just so you know,
00:52:40I'm also totally cool raising this baby with you.
00:52:51I'm sorry, Luke.
00:52:54I just don't think of you like that.
00:52:56You'll always be my family.
00:53:02You gonna tell Laura?
00:53:04I will.
00:53:05The time's right.
00:53:07I'm not mad anymore.
00:53:09I'll always remember that time she saved my life.
00:53:22What's going on?
00:53:23What?
00:53:33We need to go to the hospital.
00:53:39No bus.
00:53:47Mia, you're awake.
00:53:49I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have.
00:53:51Laura, what happened?
00:53:54Wait, you don't remember?
00:53:56All I remember is falling down the stairs and then you saved me.
00:53:59Thank you, Laura.
00:54:01Of course.
00:54:03We're family.
00:54:14Mia's awake.
00:54:16Thank God Mia doesn't remember what happened.
00:54:18She thinks I'm the one who saved her.
00:54:20Luke, please don't tell her what I did.
00:54:21She won't understand.
00:54:23I promise I won't do it again.
00:54:31Luke, are you alright?
00:54:34Nothing.
00:54:36I'm sure you and Laura will figure it out.
00:54:38I hope so.
00:54:42Thanks, Luke.
00:54:52Mia?
00:55:00What?
00:55:02Mia's pregnant.
00:55:04From a one night stand.
00:55:06Why are you so surprised?
00:55:08I'm just excited for her.
00:55:11She wants to be a single mom.
00:55:13You know Mia.
00:55:15When she makes up her mind, there's no changing it.
00:55:17Be happy for her and go see her sometime.
00:55:19Yeah.
00:55:21I will.
00:55:28What one night stand?
00:55:31Was it Aaron's?
00:55:33Would you tell him?
00:55:40Scarlett!
00:55:42I need you to plan a little business trip for Miss Nolan.
00:55:45Right away.
00:55:47I'll send her to San Francisco with an awful car and terrible lodging.
00:55:49Excellent.
00:56:20Mia.
00:56:22It's ten o'clock. Why aren't you here yet?
00:56:24Mr. James?
00:56:26I'm at Scarlett's picking up a car for the meeting in San Francisco.
00:56:29You're driving yourself to San Francisco?
00:56:31Uh, yes.
00:56:33Unless you need...
00:56:42Hello?
00:56:44Mia, hello?
00:56:50What's that smell?
00:56:52Are you sure this car is going to make it to San Francisco?
00:56:54Scarlett's going to think so.
00:57:03You know what? Forget about this car.
00:57:05You're riding with me.
00:57:07You're going to San Francisco too?
00:57:09Turns out I have some business to attend to.
00:57:11You're going to San Francisco too?
00:57:13Turns out I have some business to attend to.
00:57:41This is the room that Scarlett put you in.
00:57:43I think it's great!
00:57:46I feel right at home.
00:57:49And thanks for the ride.
00:57:51Now let me get you a burger.
00:57:53Come on.
00:58:10Come on.
00:58:36Mr. James?
00:58:38Do you like kids?
00:58:41Mr. James?
00:58:44Do you like kids?
00:58:47Children are
00:58:49the lowest-return-investment tool in the world.
00:58:51Children are the lowest-return-investment tool in the world.
00:58:53You've worked hard for decades, but
00:58:55nothing in returns.
00:58:56A parent shouldn't treat their child like an investment.
00:58:59How do you invest and expect nothing in return?
00:59:01I mean, what if your child becomes a criminal or a degenerate?
00:59:06I mean, what if your child becomes a criminal or a degenerate?
00:59:07You don't want children?
00:59:12No.
00:59:13What if someone shows up at your door one day with a child and falls in love?
00:59:17I'm getting married and it's in the interest of my family.
00:59:20As far as it goes.
00:59:22No child for me.
00:59:37Mr. James, don't you want to stay in your fancy hotel room tonight?
00:59:47The security here is basically non-existent, so as your boss, it's my duty to secure your safety as one of my employees.
01:00:07Get out.
01:00:28Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, the baby is yours.
01:00:45You're the father. Please don't leave us.
01:00:49Aaron, please.
01:01:03I am. How is he doing?
01:01:05I'm so very sorry for your loss.
01:01:14I'm so very sorry for your loss.
01:01:24Mia.
01:01:27Mr. James.
01:01:28I'm fine.
01:01:30Are you okay? Let me see.
01:01:32I'm fine. It's nothing.
01:01:35Why did the doctor say that...
01:01:38How are you related to Mr. Robbins?
01:01:41Mr. Robbins? I don't know who that is.
01:01:59The doctor said that you should rest for a few days.
01:02:02I'll take care of everything at work. You don't have to worry about anything.
01:02:08Mia, why are you crying?
01:02:15Mr. James, you are very important to me.
01:02:23If anything were to happen to you, your family would come for me and I'd lose my job.
01:02:29You're worried about your job?
01:02:31Get some rest. I'll get you some lunch.
01:02:43Sir, we have an update with the hotel in Las Vegas.
01:02:53Unfortunately, we could not locate the footage from that night.
01:03:14What?
01:03:16Oh, she lucked out with that baby.
01:03:21But um...
01:03:25Mia, I will destroy you.
01:03:34It's the best apple pie in San Francisco.
01:03:46It's delicious.
01:03:48Luke, is that the boy you're seeing?
01:03:56Oh, no, we're not a couple. I'm single.
01:04:00You're not a couple?
01:04:02I was an orphan. Luke's family adopted me.
01:04:06They weren't rich or anything, but they were amazing.
01:04:11Luke and I grew up like siblings. We've been through everything together.
01:04:16That's... that's heavy.
01:04:18I feel lucky.
01:04:32Aaron, stay with me.
01:05:03Mia?
01:05:20Mia!
01:05:30Wake up, Mia. He's engaged and hates kids.
01:05:43Mia, are you the girl from the Lancaster Hotel that night in Vegas?
01:05:53Morning, Mr. James.
01:05:54Your shirt was torn, so I got you a new one.
01:05:58Where'd you get this?
01:06:00Department store.
01:06:04You couldn't find anything better?
01:06:07It's excellent quality, just off the rack.
01:06:12Excellent, huh?
01:06:16Just try it on.
01:06:34How do I look?
01:06:36Perfect. Looks great on you.
01:06:40If you hate it, I can get you something else.
01:06:43How do I look?
01:07:02Mia, I need those fives right away.
01:07:04Okay.
01:07:08I am so sorry, Mr. Clark.
01:07:11Oh, Mia, it's good to see you. You look beautiful.
01:07:14Have they been treating you well here?
01:07:16It's gonna leave a stain.
01:07:17I'm not worried about this shirt.
01:07:19Might you consider working for me?
01:07:21I appreciate that.
01:07:23It's my mistake. I'll get you a new shirt.
01:07:25Oh, so you want to see me out with this shirt?
01:07:41Aaron, how do I look?
01:07:46Uh, what are you wearing?
01:07:52How do I look?
01:07:53What are you wearing?
01:07:55Mia gave it to me.
01:07:57Oh.
01:07:58Well, Mia got me this shirt after we shared a motel room together,
01:08:02so I'd say she likes me a little bit more.
01:08:11You saw Mia and Clark together?
01:08:13They looked very comfortable together.
01:08:18Mia Clark.
01:08:21Has a nice ring to it.
01:08:25Mr. James!
01:08:28Isn't there something you two should be doing?
01:08:31I'm not paying you to gossip.
01:08:33I'm sorry. Sorry.
01:08:34Sorry.
01:08:40Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, no. I can do it myself, Mr. James.
01:08:46You're pregnant?
01:08:55That's private, Mr. James.
01:08:57Who's the father?
01:08:59Is it Luke?
01:09:00No, Luke is like my brother.
01:09:01Who is?
01:09:04It's Leah.
01:09:05Weren't we together?
01:09:07No one equal.
01:09:08What are you talking about?
01:09:10If there's nothing else, Mr. James.
01:09:13Who knew that Mia Nolan was so popular?
01:09:18How dare you!
01:09:20I'm not the one who stepped down on my fiancé!
01:09:23What are you talking about?
01:09:24You know what? Forget it.
01:09:27I quit.
01:09:44Good news, Ms. Jones.
01:09:46Mia is no longer with the James Group.
01:09:48What happened?
01:09:50She tried to seduce Mr. James and Mr. Leo.
01:09:53But she's pregnant now.
01:09:55Mr. James is very upset.
01:09:58Erin knows she's pregnant?
01:10:00Yes.
01:10:08Erin can't find out that he's the father.
01:10:11I have to get rid of this kid.
01:10:23Hi, baby.
01:10:25Don't worry.
01:10:27We'll figure this out.
01:10:29A new job.
01:10:30A new life.
01:10:38Laura, what are you doing here?
01:10:41I felt bad after our argument the other day.
01:10:43I know you were just trying to help.
01:10:46I'd like to make it up to you.
01:10:48I'm sorry.
01:10:50Mia, on our family.
01:10:53Forgive me, please.
01:10:56Please.
01:11:02By the way, is the little one okay?
01:11:06You know?
01:11:07Oh, Lucas, such a big mouth.
01:11:10I bought you some stuff for the pregnancy.
01:11:12You seem unhappy.
01:11:14Thank you, Laura.
01:11:17I'm unemployed.
01:11:19What happened?
01:11:21I quit my job.
01:11:23And now I have to figure something out for me and the baby.
01:11:27Everything will be okay.
01:11:29Now, let's have some ice cream like we used to when we were little and something was bothering us.
01:11:34I'll be right back.
01:12:04Vanilla, your favorite.
01:12:20I'm sorry, Mia.
01:12:22This child will ruin everything for me.
01:12:24I have to do this.
01:12:35What's going on with you?
01:12:39Tell me the truth.
01:12:41Mia's baby.
01:12:45Mia's pregnant?
01:12:47So not.
01:12:51Not this one, but maybe the next.
01:12:56Not at all.
01:12:58I like her.
01:13:00All of her.
01:13:02Don't you?
01:13:25Miss Nolan, Mr. James is in the study.
01:13:39Just a moment.
01:13:40I'll get it.
01:13:47Laura, what are you doing here?
01:13:49Ma'am, here's some hot milk.
01:13:51Ma'am?
01:13:53Laura, are you his fiance?
01:13:56Mia, I can explain.
01:13:57What is there to say?
01:13:58Just go home.
01:13:59Okay, we'll talk later.
01:14:00I need to speak to Mr. James.
01:14:02Mia!
01:14:04I wanted to tell you.
01:14:06Okay, he found me and he asked me to marry him.
01:14:10Mia, you and me, we're family.
01:14:13I have your blessing to marry Aaron, right?
01:14:15Family doesn't lie.
01:14:16You should have told me.
01:14:20For as long as I can remember,
01:14:22you've always had everyone wrapped around your finger.
01:14:25Mia, Mia, Mia, always in the spotlight.
01:14:27And you know, really, I can accept that.
01:14:29But with Aaron, I'm crazy about him.
01:14:32And I know you have feelings for him too, but we're engaged.
01:14:35He's mine now.
01:14:37And after I saved you from that tumble down the stairs,
01:14:40you're seriously trying to steal the love of my life.
01:14:47What's wrong?
01:14:52Mia?
01:14:56Mia!
01:15:00Mia.
01:15:03Call the doctor.
01:15:18Thank God, you're finally awake.
01:15:22Baby.
01:15:27My baby.
01:15:28The baby's fine.
01:15:29Everything is going to be okay.
01:15:31Miss Holland, did you eat anything unusual yesterday?
01:15:34It seems there was an abortifacient drug in your system.
01:15:38Luckily, we were able to save the baby.
01:15:47Laura gave me some ice cream with Laura.
01:15:50Laura, Laura Jones.
01:15:53Yeah.
01:15:55We grew up together.
01:15:57The family adopted us from your kids.
01:16:04Laura's your fiancee and you're seeing Mia?
01:16:06Asshole!
01:16:12Laura's your fiancee and you're seeing Mia?
01:16:14Asshole!
01:16:17Two months ago, you got Mia pregnant in Las Vegas,
01:16:20and you don't even want the baby?
01:16:22What is he talking about?
01:16:24I can't tell you.
01:16:25You're engaged and it was a one-night stand.
01:16:27Did you leave your phone at the hotel that night?
01:16:30And the screen, is there a picture of a girl?
01:16:33A girl with a baby shark.
01:16:35Yes, it is.
01:16:37I'm the baby shark.
01:16:39It's me wearing a costume.
01:16:41I can't believe it.
01:16:43I should have known.
01:16:45Laura was pretending it was her phone.
01:16:48The engagement between Laura and I is just a business arrangement.
01:16:51I barely see her and I've never touched her.
01:16:53Don't believe that.
01:16:55Laura would never agree to that.
01:16:56She said she loves you.
01:16:58She said that I have to let her have you because she saved my life.
01:17:03She lied to you.
01:17:09She lied to you.
01:17:10She said that she's the one that saved your life all those years ago.
01:17:13The truth is, she's the one that pushed you down the stairs.
01:17:17Mia Nolan, you're better at everything.
01:17:19I hate you.
01:17:20Laura, I...
01:17:23Ah!
01:17:30What's going on?
01:17:32I didn't mean to.
01:17:33We were fighting.
01:17:34It was an accident.
01:17:36We need to go to the hospital.
01:17:40Why wouldn't you tell me the truth?
01:17:42I thought it was better that way.
01:17:46That may not be the only thing she's done.
01:17:49Do you remember San Francisco?
01:17:50Do you think she had something to do with the man who stabbed you?
01:17:55No.
01:17:56How would she even know I was there?
01:17:58Do you think someone from work told her?
01:18:01I'm going to find out.
01:18:04Mia.
01:18:07I love you.
01:18:11I didn't get a chance to show you I had another baby.
01:18:26Is Mia okay?
01:18:27Why didn't you tell me that you knew Mia this whole time?
01:18:30I'm sorry.
01:18:33So you knew that she was pregnant?
01:18:39I'm sorry.
01:18:42Why didn't you tell me that she was pregnant with someone else's child?
01:18:49I thought you liked her.
01:18:51I didn't want you to get hurt.
01:18:53She's a gold digger.
01:18:54She tried to seduce my best friend.
01:18:57But you...
01:18:59You loved her.
01:19:03Yes.
01:19:07I was wrong before.
01:19:10I should be with you.
01:19:12I'm going to make an engagement banquet to announce you as my fiance.
01:19:17That sounds wonderful.
01:19:35What are you doing here?
01:19:40What are you doing here?
01:19:46I've been here for years.
01:19:49And Mr. James relies on me.
01:19:51You were here a week and become his right hand just to leave in a few months.
01:19:56I always knew something was off about you.
01:20:08Is that the new Mrs. James?
01:20:10Right?
01:20:14Mia.
01:20:16Haven't seen you in a few days.
01:20:18You look awful.
01:20:21Hey.
01:20:22Apologize.
01:20:23She should apologize.
01:20:25How dare you speak to her that way?
01:20:27I treated you like my sister.
01:20:30And you tried to seduce my fiance?
01:20:32Is this how you repay me?
01:20:34Didn't know she had it in her.
01:20:36Shameful.
01:20:39What's going on here?
01:20:47What's going on here?
01:20:48Miss Nolan attacked Miss Laura.
01:20:50Aaron.
01:20:51I'm fine.
01:20:54All right.
01:20:55Everybody back to work.
01:20:56You, my office.
01:21:05Oh, she's so screwed.
01:21:08Oh, Mia.
01:21:10You asked for it.
01:21:18How much longer do you have to pretend?
01:21:21Just a little longer.
01:21:22Scarlett is helping Laura and we need proof.
01:21:24Let's find it quickly.
01:21:26I can't stand you.
01:21:37What is this?
01:21:39This is a James family heirloom.
01:21:43It belongs to my mother.
01:21:48There's two in the family?
01:21:54There's two in the family?
01:21:56One of your holdings engraved with a James family crest.
01:21:58This is a fake.
01:22:00It's worthless.
01:22:15You wanted to see me?
01:22:18I want you to wear this to our engagement banquet.
01:22:22It's gorgeous.
01:22:30I'm still busy.
01:22:41Mr. James.
01:22:43What do you need?
01:22:45You're fired.
01:22:46What?
01:22:47Why?
01:22:48My fiance wants you to pack your things and leave.
01:22:57Wow.
01:22:58This is a James family heirloom?
01:23:01It's beautiful.
01:23:03He loves you so much.
01:23:08Family heirloom.
01:23:09He loves you so much.
01:23:11Scarlett, are you crazy?
01:23:12What are you doing?
01:23:20You're hurting me.
01:23:22You think you can just fire me after you used me?
01:23:24It's not that simple.
01:23:26What the hell are you talking about?
01:23:28You asked me to get rid of Mia and now when it's done you want to get rid of me?
01:23:32Don't play innocent.
01:23:33I was fired.
01:23:36You know, I know that you bribed that man to attack me in San Francisco.
01:23:41And when Mr. James finds out you put him in the hospital, he won't be too happy.
01:23:46It's all a big misunderstanding.
01:23:48When Aaron announces our engagement at the party, I promise to bring you back with a promotion and a raise.
01:23:54You better.
01:24:11Mia, I finally took everything from you.
01:24:15You must be Mr. James' fiance.
01:24:38I'm Aaron's fiance?
01:24:40She's just a gold digger.
01:24:42What are you doing here?
01:24:43You're not welcome.
01:24:44Mr. James invited me.
01:24:46But this young lady is carrying Mr. James' family heirloom.
01:24:51Mia, how could you show up with a knockoff at my engagement?
01:25:01What's going on here?
01:25:03Aaron, she's harassing me.
01:25:05Mr. James, who exactly is your fiance?
01:25:11That is subject of tonight's announcement.
01:25:14I'd like to introduce my fiance.
01:25:20You shouldn't be here. Let's just see what happens.
01:25:23Thank you all for coming to my engagement banquet.
01:25:26It is with great excitement that I'd like to reveal my true fiance.
01:25:37Mia Nolan.
01:25:41The love of my life.
01:25:43What? But I'm wearing the James family heirloom.
01:25:45The bracelet is fake, just like you.
01:25:50No, I'm not.
01:25:52You asked me to get rid of Mia, and now when it's done, you want to get rid of me?
01:25:56Definitely innocent, I was fired.
01:25:58No, I'm not.
01:26:00You asked me to get rid of Mia, and now when it's done, you want to get rid of me?
01:26:04Definitely innocent, I was fired.
01:26:07Stop, stop.
01:26:09Stop, stop, please.
01:26:11Please stop.
01:26:13You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent.
01:26:15Whatever you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of law.
01:26:21Mia, I saved your life, and we're family.
01:26:24Mia Nolan, I hate you.
01:26:32Mia Nolan, will you marry me?
01:26:35And let me be the father of our child?
01:26:37Yes, yes.
