Transcript
00:00:00I, Alisa, a nobody in the workplace, single since birth for 23 years, never even held
00:00:29a man's hand, but last night, I accidentally slept with my boss.
00:00:34He's a CEO, he's the kind of guy that you read about in novels, and he already has a
00:00:38woman in his heart.
00:00:41Hey, it's been a really long night, and I think it should be a longer night.
00:00:51You should come over, I'll see you soon.
00:00:58What do you mean by question mark?
00:01:00Because you used to be fun, I have good wine, I'm in room 1501, I'll see you soon.
00:01:11I'm coming.
00:01:22Mr. Hawthorne?
00:01:24What are you doing?
00:01:26Take me back to the ground, cause girl, you look fine as hell.
00:01:34Fine as hell.
00:01:36I'm not easily distracted, but you're acting like a magnet.
00:01:42You pull me in.
00:01:52Alisa?
00:01:53Hey, mom.
00:01:54Please come home as soon as possible.
00:01:57I just received an order from the court.
00:01:59Since we are unable to repay the huge debt your father owed, our house will be auctioned
00:02:04off to pay off the debt.
00:02:06We must move out of the house now.
00:02:09Don't worry, I'm going to be right there.
00:02:19Oh my god, Alisa.
00:02:20Mom, are you okay?
00:02:23I'm fine, honey.
00:02:26I'm so sorry I couldn't save the house.
00:02:30Don't worry.
00:02:31As long as we're together, we'll get through this difficult time.
00:02:36I'm sorry.
00:02:40Is there anything else in there?
00:02:41No, this is it.
00:02:46One second, okay?
00:02:47I'll be right back.
00:02:48Hello?
00:02:49Alisa, where are you?
00:02:51Don't you remember?
00:02:52We were supposed to meet in the conference room at nine.
00:02:55Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:57I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home.
00:03:00And, um, if you could please just tell management that...
00:03:05Hello?
00:03:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:08Fuck.
00:03:11I just lost my house, and now I'm going to lose my job, too?
00:03:14Where am I going to find a million dollars?
00:03:18Alisa?
00:03:20Why are you crying?
00:03:22Um...
00:03:25Mr. Hawthorne, what are you doing here?
00:03:27Oh, I'm actually here for you.
00:03:29What?
00:03:30I need a marriage partner.
00:03:32Again, what?
00:03:34I need you to be my wife.
00:03:36Give it a thought.
00:03:39Mr. Hawthorne, I was really drunk last night,
00:03:44and I can't remember how everything happened after, but you really don't...
00:03:47Look, I know some unfortunate things have happened in your family recently.
00:03:53This card has more than enough on it to pay off all your debts
00:03:57and make sure that your house doesn't get auctioned off.
00:04:00If you agree, we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:04:14Why do you want to help me?
00:04:16I told you, I need a wife.
00:04:19And you're the most suitable person.
00:04:27Okay.
00:04:28It's for my family.
00:04:30I have no other way.
00:04:34Mr. Hawthorne, thank you so much for helping me.
00:04:38I promise I will pay you back every cent as soon as I can.
00:04:41You don't pay me back more than happy.
00:04:45I'm going to get back to work then.
00:04:47Ronan will actually take you back.
00:04:50And I'll give you my home address so you can move in tonight.
00:04:53Your home address?
00:04:56We're legally married.
00:04:58It's our only living together.
00:05:00Right. This is a deal.
00:05:02I can't just take the money and give nothing in return.
00:05:05I can get myself to work.
00:05:07And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:05:15Melissa, you're finally mine.
00:05:23Oh my god! I'm so sorry.
00:05:25I was reading and I didn't see you there.
00:05:27No, no worries. It's fine.
00:05:33Can I have your name?
00:05:34I'm Melissa.
00:05:37Yo!
00:05:38Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:42Thanks.
00:05:47It's real?
00:05:48If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella...
00:05:50Alright, give it back.
00:05:52Then watch your mouth.
00:05:57You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:06:00It's a contract marriage.
00:06:01Shh!
00:06:02I'll explain it to you later.
00:06:03Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne.
00:06:06You are the CEO's wife. So where is my pay raise?
00:06:09I don't know.
00:06:10We've known each other since middle school.
00:06:12I don't think he actually likes me.
00:06:14Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:06:20Miss Harper's back!
00:06:35Hello everyone.
00:06:36Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:39Thank you, Miss Hart. You are so very kind.
00:06:42It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:44Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:46I have to go see Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:06:49He must want to see me right now.
00:06:51Save a slice for me, honey.
00:06:54When do you think they will make their own relationship public?
00:06:57Probably soon.
00:06:58Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone,
00:07:01the code is 0903, Miss Hart's birthday.
00:07:04Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:07:06Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne would be so romantic.
00:07:08He usually puts on a poker face.
00:07:10Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne...
00:07:15I'm still done.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:300903.
00:07:34That's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:36If they love each other so much, then...
00:07:39It's okay, whatever it is.
00:07:41He's just not getting his money back.
00:07:52Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:55Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:57Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should...
00:07:58Solid.
00:08:07What should I do?
00:08:08Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:11You know that we did that before, but...
00:08:13I was drunk.
00:08:17If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:08:19But...
00:08:21If I don't...
00:08:22Melissa?
00:08:23Are you okay?
00:08:25I'm fine.
00:08:26I'm fine.
00:08:27I'm fine.
00:08:28I'm fine.
00:08:29I'm fine.
00:08:30I'm fine.
00:08:31I'm fine.
00:08:32I'm fine.
00:08:33I'm fine.
00:08:34I'm fine.
00:08:35You okay?
00:08:36I'm fine.
00:08:37Thank you for asking.
00:08:51I'm...
00:08:52I'm not ready.
00:08:54I was...
00:08:55Just gonna turn off the light.
00:08:57What did you think I was gonna do?
00:08:59Oh yeah, no...
00:09:01Don't get me wrong, I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:09:06Elisa...
00:09:07I don't want some one-night stand.
00:09:09I wanna be your everything.
00:09:16Matthew!
00:09:17Why did the negotiations with the sunlight group fail?
00:09:19It's Elisa's fault.
00:09:21If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:24How is it her fault?
00:09:26Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:28I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne
00:09:32entering her hotel room the night before Elisa skipped work.
00:09:36What?
00:09:37What did you say to me?
00:09:38It is absolutely true.
00:09:40Not only did she cause our failure,
00:09:43but she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:53Matthew...
00:09:55You know how important our negotiations with the sunlight group is.
00:09:59And since it is your subordinate's fault,
00:10:02you know what to do.
00:10:04Right.
00:10:05Mr. Sherwood, I know what to do.
00:10:13Last night, with Lucian laying beside me,
00:10:16I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:19Elisa, is this how you do your job?
00:10:22Look what trouble you brought us!
00:10:24It is because of you that we lost the project with the sunlight group.
00:10:27You're fired.
00:10:29Mr. Clark, I was only in charge of the initial budget,
00:10:32not the negotiations.
00:10:34I don't understand how this could be my fault.
00:10:36Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:41Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:44That's because something unexpected happened at home,
00:10:46but I called in for a leave of absence.
00:10:48So what?
00:10:49We needed you last minute and you weren't there.
00:10:52Now that the project has failed,
00:10:54if you're not to blame, who else would it be?
00:10:57I was absent that day, yes,
00:10:59but I prepared the initial budget ahead of time,
00:11:01so there is no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:11:06Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:11:09Elisa, take a closer look.
00:11:11What did you write in the project budget?
00:11:16No, no, no, this isn't right.
00:11:18I wrote 50 million.
00:11:20How did it become 5 million?
00:11:27For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:32Elisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:35Looks like Elisa is in trouble.
00:11:38Elisa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:40How could she make such an error?
00:11:42Keep it down. Can't you see?
00:11:45They're just trying to find someone to take responsibility.
00:11:51Wait, I have evidence to prove that my budget was correct.
00:11:57Evidence? Then why don't you show it to everyone?
00:12:00I have the dated source files on my computer that can show that I had the right numbers.
00:12:04Look. No, they were right here. How could they be gone?
00:12:08Elisa, are you joking?
00:12:10Where's your so-called evidence?
00:12:12Elisa?
00:12:14Are you suggesting that Mr. Clark and Ms. Hart are conspiring against you?
00:12:19You better pack up and leave now before making a bigger fool out of yourself.
00:12:23What are you saying?
00:12:24I've seen the budget Elisa made.
00:12:26We all checked it as a team.
00:12:31Obviously, someone tampered with it.
00:12:33Are you saying that we are framing her?
00:12:35At the very least, she deserves a good reason to be fined.
00:12:39Fine. If anyone else can vouch for Elisa, I can give her a second chance.
00:12:44Anyone?
00:12:48Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:50I don't remember.
00:12:53Since there's no one, Elisa, would you like to walk yourself out or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:13:04This better be something important.
00:13:06Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:13:08So? Can Summer handle it?
00:13:11She started it. Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:13:17Let's go.
00:13:19Amelia, it's okay.
00:13:21Amelia, it's okay.
00:13:22They clearly just want someone to blame for this entire thing.
00:13:25So what should we do then?
00:13:26Allow them to push all the blame onto you?
00:13:31Ms. Hart?
00:13:32Mr. Clark.
00:13:33I'll step down from my position, but I will never admit to mistakes that I didn't make.
00:13:38I will get down to the bottom of this.
00:13:40You're shameless. The evidence is right here.
00:13:43Where do you get the nerve to deny it?
00:13:46Besides the project book, there's also surveillance footage and there are computer backend logs.
00:13:50All of these will prove that my budget was correct, and I will investigate this until the end.
00:13:56There is no need for an investigation.
00:13:59You have already been fired.
00:14:03Since you refuse to leave, security, drag her out.
00:14:09Alyssa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:14:13You'll never set foot in the Hawthorne group ever again.
00:14:20Summer?
00:14:22What are you doing?
00:14:26Why is he here? Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:30Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:33What are you doing here?
00:14:34Why is he here to support Summer?
00:14:36Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:39Let her go.
00:14:41What's going on with these two? Am I fired or not?
00:14:44Could it be I'm just a pawn in their game?
00:14:47Care to explain what's going on?
00:14:49Well, Alyssa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her.
00:14:53But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work.
00:14:56So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:59Fired for what?
00:15:00Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:15:01The negotiations with the Sunlight Group failed due to Alyssa's mistake.
00:15:05We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:15:08You set me up with some half-baked plan, tried to fire me, and then called security.
00:15:13Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:15:15Alyssa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne?
00:15:20Lucian, see? She won't admit her mistakes, and she even questions you in public.
00:15:27Oh god, now I'm really fired.
00:15:31Alyssa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne. She has to be fired now.
00:15:39I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:41Pitying her? You're an employee too. Mind your own business.
00:15:47Alyssa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:49Alyssa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means? Hurry up and leave.
00:15:54Of course Lucian is on Summer's side. I'm just his wife out of nowhere.
00:16:00Surely I'm no match for his lover.
00:16:09Hold on.
00:16:14Did I tell you to leave?
00:16:15You're not angry?
00:16:17Why would I be angry? The company needs to find out who's responsible for Sunrise Group Project first.
00:16:22Ronan, take charge of that.
00:16:23Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:16:25So what you're saying is I'm not fired. At least for now.
00:16:31Lucian, Alyssa not only made mistakes on this project, but she was absent from work without permission.
00:16:36And she defied you in public.
00:16:38Summer, I'll handle company policy, okay?
00:16:41But we never, ever fire an employee for no reason.
00:16:46I... I agree with Lucian.
00:16:49Matthew, I told you to wait until the investigation was done, but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:54Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:16:57Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:59Is Lucian helping me?
00:17:01But as a CEO, he needs to do things fairly in front of his employees.
00:17:05This proves nothing.
00:17:07Alyssa, may I have a few words with you?
00:17:13Alyssa, you are damn lucky this time.
00:17:16But you won't be for the next time.
00:17:28Mr. Hawthorne, if this is about the project, then I'm so sorry that you were bothered.
00:17:33Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:37Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:39Next time something like that happens, come see me. Don't let me handle it.
00:17:44You're so busy. I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:48We're married.
00:17:52You can do whatever you want.
00:17:54We're at the office. Don't fool around.
00:17:56Fool around?
00:17:58Well, that's the proper thing since we're married.
00:18:02Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:18:08Even while we're at work?
00:18:10That's not necessarily what I mean.
00:18:14Well, if that's all, Mr. Hawthorne, I guess I'll be going back to work.
00:18:19Alyssa?
00:18:21Remember my words. Stay away from that girl.
00:18:30Alyssa, when you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office...
00:18:33Amelia!
00:18:34I can't really understand a theater over here. Can you help me, please?
00:18:39Ms. Hart? May I help you?
00:18:41You are still under investigation.
00:18:43Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:47But I was just looking over the project budget for the next thing.
00:18:50Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:53Can't you see the trash is full?
00:18:55Clean it.
00:18:58I'm sorry.
00:19:00I'm sorry.
00:19:02I'm sorry.
00:19:04I'm sorry.
00:19:06Clean it.
00:19:08Ms. Hart?
00:19:10I'm an analyst. I'm not an intern.
00:19:12What? Are you defying your superior?
00:19:15Someone is really ignorant.
00:19:17She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:19:19Now she's defying her superior.
00:19:21Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:23Right?
00:19:24Ms. Hart is not just the daughter of a noble family.
00:19:27She also has an unusual relationship with our president.
00:19:30It would be in your best interest to help Ms. Hart with the trifle.
00:19:34Stop being ungrateful.
00:19:35Elisa, I can have you fired for defying your superior.
00:19:39So you better choose wisely.
00:19:42You're right. I like my job.
00:19:44And I'm going to become an excellent executive in my dream company.
00:19:49Fine.
00:19:51I'll do it.
00:19:59Better to bend than break, huh?
00:20:01It doesn't matter.
00:20:03Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:20:08Ms. Hart, your coffee.
00:20:10Hand it to me.
00:20:20Oh my god, this coffee is so hot. It almost burned me alive.
00:20:24Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:26Don't you know I only drink iced Americano?
00:20:28Who hired you anyway?
00:20:30I'm so sorry. I will go buy you one right now.
00:20:32Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:42Who told you you could mob the floor with that?
00:20:45If you damage the floors, can you afford to pay for them?
00:20:48How exactly would you like me to mob the floor, Ms. Hart?
00:20:51With a cloth on your hands and knees.
00:20:54Inch by inch.
00:20:56Samara, don't you think you're going a little too far?
00:20:59What? Can't handle it?
00:21:01You could always quit.
00:21:08Well, by that I guess you mean...
00:21:11I should act like your wife all the time?
00:21:14Even while we're at work?
00:21:18Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:21:22Uh-huh.
00:21:23Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:26Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:28I had a visit first.
00:21:30He was just at work. Mrs. Hawthorne is already so eager to see her.
00:21:33He's completely in love with her.
00:21:38Ms. Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:43I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
00:21:47Elise, when you were seducing Lucian when I was away, have you ever thought of today?
00:21:54I didn't seduce him.
00:21:56You didn't!
00:21:57Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:22:00You dared to seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:22:05Samara, what the hell are you doing?
00:22:10Samara, what the hell are you doing?
00:22:12Lucian!
00:22:13Elise is still under investigation, right?
00:22:15She's not suitable for working on company projects, so I had her doing simpler tasks like fetching me coffee.
00:22:22But she spilled the coffee on purpose.
00:22:24That isn't true.
00:22:25It doesn't matter anyway. I don't blame her for it.
00:22:27But she insisted on wiping it up.
00:22:29I stepped on her by accident. I was about to apologize to her.
00:22:33Is that so?
00:22:35Elise, is that actually what happened?
00:22:37Lucian is in love with Samara.
00:22:39Even if I told the truth, would he believe me?
00:22:42Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:45Come with me to my office.
00:22:48Come.
00:22:49Come.
00:22:51Why on earth did Lucian call Elisa to his office again?
00:22:55I must find out.
00:23:03Have a seat.
00:23:05Your hand's hurt. You need an advantage.
00:23:08It's really fine. I can just go home and...
00:23:11No, no, I got it all right. Have a seat.
00:23:17All right, let's see.
00:23:20You know, Samara is competent, but she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:25I can transfer you to another department.
00:23:27If you can't bear her, maybe mine.
00:23:30So we can spend more time together.
00:23:32No, no, I'm fine in the business department.
00:23:35Elisa, you're my wife.
00:23:37I don't want you to be bullied anymore.
00:23:39Stop pretending like you don't know she only does that because she's in love with you.
00:23:43Okay, last step.
00:23:48Okay, just don't let this hand touch water for a moment.
00:23:50Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:23:54It's just the two of us.
00:23:56You can call me by my name.
00:23:58When we're at work, I thought I shouldn't.
00:24:00Yeah, why shouldn't you?
00:24:01Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:24:03And why do you keep defending me?
00:24:06Do you really not know why?
00:24:08We've known each other since high school, but he's always kind of ignored me.
00:24:12Hasn't he always had a thing for Summer?
00:24:15Or could it be that everyone has been wrong all along?
00:24:24Bloody Elisa.
00:24:26You sure are good at playing naive.
00:24:28I must find a way to teach you a lesson.
00:24:33A reunion party?
00:24:35The gods are favoring me.
00:24:38Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:42No!
00:24:47Alright, it's ready.
00:24:50How many slices do you want?
00:24:52Mom, what's wrong?
00:24:54Elisa, isn't our house supposed to be auctioned off by the court to pay off our debts?
00:25:01Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:25:03Um...
00:25:06Well, I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:25:11What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:25:17Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:25:22Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about it.
00:25:26It's okay.
00:25:27Elisa.
00:25:32Hey!
00:25:33Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:34What's up?
00:25:35There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:37They notified us in the group, but I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond,
00:25:42so I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:44Of course, it's been ages.
00:25:46Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:49Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:52Just leave it over there.
00:26:00How about we grab a drink tonight?
00:26:02I know a good place.
00:26:04I actually have plans tonight.
00:26:06If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:26:08Lucian, it's been so long...
00:26:10Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:26:12Please leave.
00:26:17Hold on.
00:26:18Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:26:20Summer, how many ways do I have to say this?
00:26:21I'm busy.
00:26:22Leave.
00:26:24Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:27But ever since Elisa came, I've become colder and colder.
00:26:32Elisa, don't think I realize it.
00:26:37I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:41Is he going?
00:26:43Something on your mind?
00:26:44It's not a big deal, but there's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:48Are you going?
00:26:50Are you going?
00:26:52I don't know.
00:26:53I know you made a good point, but we don't really see each other that often.
00:26:57I thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:59You know what?
00:27:01I actually have a meeting.
00:27:03I think I'll pass.
00:27:04I think I'll pass.
00:27:06Okay.
00:27:07Yeah, that's fine.
00:27:08I'll send you something though, since I can't be there.
00:27:10You really don't have to do that.
00:27:12And I know it's far, so...
00:27:14Take this.
00:27:16Lucian, it's...
00:27:18That's way too expensive.
00:27:20I'm just gonna take the subway.
00:27:22Elisa, I'm capable of offering you a better life.
00:27:25Why would you take the subway?
00:27:27Consider this a gift.
00:27:29Lucian is acting like he actually likes me.
00:27:33What game is he playing?
00:27:35Mine.
00:27:36Take it.
00:27:39You're just giving this to me?
00:27:41Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:43Legally speaking, it's mine as yours.
00:27:47Well, thank you then.
00:27:54This is a customized version.
00:27:56It should probably cost millions.
00:27:58Jesus, Elisa!
00:27:59If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:28:02Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:28:05You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:28:09He does treat me well, though.
00:28:11You know, all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:28:14I don't know.
00:28:16I'm probably just overthinking.
00:28:18Maybe it's, um...
00:28:20A misunderstanding or a coincidence?
00:28:23I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer.
00:28:26I don't think he's into her.
00:28:27No, that's just because he's trying to keep the down-low at work.
00:28:31Well, even if he were trying to keep it that way...
00:28:34Do you know how that saying goes?
00:28:36We can try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes can speak.
00:28:41The way he looks at Summer...
00:28:43It doesn't feel right. Do you know what I mean?
00:28:45I have absolutely no idea what you mean, because you sound crazy.
00:28:48You... I'm done. You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:51Well, we're late. We have to go.
00:28:52Okay.
00:29:00Hello, everyone. Long time no see.
00:29:03So sorry we're late.
00:29:05So, it's Elisa.
00:29:07What is it?
00:29:08The poor student back then is playing heirs now?
00:29:14Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:29:19Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:29:23Elisa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, weren't you?
00:29:28Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:29:30After all this year, she still speaks of poverty.
00:29:35Hey, don't say such a word.
00:29:37What if she's doing well and busy with work?
00:29:41Maybe she didn't mean to be late.
00:29:43Her? She's probably a low-level employee.
00:29:45How well could she be doing?
00:29:47What do you mean by that? Elisa and I were just...
00:29:53Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:54Although it's been years since we graduated, she's only been more gorgeous.
00:29:57Summer is both the daughter of the noble family and Mr. Hopper's childhood friend.
00:30:03Yes, Summer is more than gorgeous now.
00:30:06Summer, come on. Sit next to me.
00:30:08I've reserved roommates.
00:30:14Sorry I'm late. Traffic was terrible.
00:30:17Never mind. It's our honor to have you.
00:30:20Summer, did you buy a new sports car?
00:30:23Not really. I just picked this one out of the garage because I was in a hurry.
00:30:27I'm actually tired of driving it. I haven't used it in...
00:30:31A sports car? That's something I can never afford.
00:30:34It's not that much. It's only a few hundred thousand.
00:30:38Wow, Summer sure is rich.
00:30:41Such an expensive car, but it's not a nothing to her.
00:30:45Naturally. Don't you know who Summer is?
00:30:48Such a luxury car, a nothing, but a toy to her.
00:30:52She can have as many as she wants.
00:30:54Which is not...
00:30:56Elisa, what car did you drive here?
00:31:03She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car?
00:31:06She must be taking the subway.
00:31:08Why does she race? That's the reason.
00:31:11Elisa, the subway will soon stop running.
00:31:14Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:31:16Oh, Summer, you're still so kind-hearted.
00:31:19But how could somebody as low as her be riding in your luxury car?
00:31:25Be careful not to get her power distancial over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:29What nonsense are you talking about?
00:31:31Elisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:34She drove here.
00:31:36I have a fantasy new limited edition convertible.
00:31:40Something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:43Oh my god, what a big mouth.
00:31:46What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:49Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:52Elisa, did you rent a car just to show off at the reunion?
00:31:56It's... it's not rented.
00:31:58Not rented? Who are you trying to fool?
00:32:01You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars, even if you're selling yourself.
00:32:05Summer, is Hawthorne Group really that good?
00:32:09Even a little employee can afford such a fancy convertible?
00:32:13Hardly. Although Hawthorne Group does have good benefits, it's not to that extent.
00:32:19With her salary, she could probably never afford it, even if she worked herself to death.
00:32:25Elisa, we're all classmates here. You don't have to pretend to be rich.
00:32:30It probably costs half your salary to rent that car.
00:32:33It's best not to be so vain.
00:32:35The point of it, it's like the Cinderella, it will revert to its true form after midnight.
00:32:39Elisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:42Of course. Can't help with disguised spirits.
00:32:45I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:53Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start any time.
00:32:56Alright.
00:32:58Oh, hey, by the way, my wife is having a class reunion tomorrow.
00:33:01Invite someone over for some fine wine. I'll have some fun.
00:33:03Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:33:05I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:33:10Elisa, what's the point of lying?
00:33:13First you rent a car to show off at the reunion, and now you're making up a story about a wealthy husband?
00:33:21Are you living in a novel?
00:33:23Summer, aren't we colleagues with Elisa? You should know she's married or not, right?
00:33:29It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry.
00:33:35Although I don't think so.
00:33:37If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:43So, Elisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:49Amelia, I think you should stay away from Elisa. She's got a bad influence on you.
00:33:58And what do you know? Elisa's husband.
00:34:02Okay, okay, you guys keep partying. Amelia, let's go.
00:34:11Excuse me, these are the wines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:34:18Oh, 1982 Lafite? But we didn't order these wines.
00:34:24I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:34:26The wine is for me, right? He did say he would send something over. This is too much.
00:34:32Summer, this wine must be a special gift from Mr. Hawthorne for you.
00:34:36Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention from Mr. Hawthorne is Summer. Who else could it be?
00:34:43This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:45Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match since school, and now they're still so affectionate.
00:34:51I wonder if they're gonna get married soon.
00:34:53Of course. Summer is future president's wife. Unlike someone.
00:34:59Oh Elisa, you see? You can never shake my bond with Lucian.
00:35:05Alright everyone, since Lucian sent over these wines, let's enjoy them together.
00:35:10But Summer, this is 1982 Lafite. I think some people here are not worthy of drinking such fine wine.
00:35:19They say cast your pearls before swine. Even if you let Elisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good Lafite is.
00:35:25That's true. To pay it to her would be a waste.
00:35:28You're all wrong. This wine is for me.
00:35:33This wine is for me.
00:35:35Did I hear that right? You said that this wine was given to you by Mr. Hawthorne?
00:35:41It's hilarious. Do you think you're Mrs. Hawthorne?
00:35:44Mrs. Hawthorne is Summer.
00:35:47Are you daydreaming, Elisa? Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:52Elisa, are you jealous of me? Not only jealous of my family background and my job,
00:35:58now you're jealous of my relationship with Lucian and want to claim the wines that were given to me.
00:36:03Don't you know that even if you try your hardest, what's not meant for you will never, ever be yours?
00:36:11Oh, Summer, don't ruin your mood over such a rat in the gutter. She's just a clown.
00:36:16How can you be so confident that the wine is for Summer?
00:36:20When Summer and Mr. Hawthorne started dating, Elisa was somewhere picking up trash.
00:36:26All you ever do is talk. Why the hell would I lie about something like this?
00:36:30Who knows? After all, we don't understand how the poor thinks.
00:36:34Hey, waiter, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:40Yeah, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:43So that Summer can start daydreaming.
00:36:46These wines were given to Mrs. Elisvale by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:55What? This wine is from Lucian to Elisa?
00:36:58There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:37:01How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Elisa?
00:37:04Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucian to Elisvale.
00:37:10How could this be?
00:37:12What makes Elisa so special that Lucian would treat her like this?
00:37:16Why are you all so silent now?
00:37:19You were so talkative and confident before.
00:37:22Is it because you're a theorist?
00:37:25Amelia, like I said, I don't need to learn.
00:37:28Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch.
00:37:32Could it be...
00:37:33Wait. What now, womania?
00:37:36Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:40After being exposed about the car keys,
00:37:43you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us.
00:37:47Oh my God.
00:37:48Dominia, you really are imaginative.
00:37:50You should become a screenwriter. You've really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:53What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth
00:37:57and here I am stating the facts?
00:37:59How is that imagination?
00:38:02Dominia, I think you've got a point.
00:38:05After all,
00:38:07lady people are always so desperate for attention.
00:38:12Right.
00:38:16Summer makes a valid point.
00:38:18Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:38:21How could he possibly send her wine?
00:38:23Go home and page your actors.
00:38:27Elisa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:30If we hadn't gone to the same high school together,
00:38:33you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us,
00:38:36having meal, let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:40You all have gone too far.
00:38:42This is supposed to be a class reunion party
00:38:45and you're all targeting Elisa.
00:38:47What are you trying to do?
00:38:48What are we trying to do?
00:38:50She needs to know her place
00:38:52instead of deceiving us with lies again and again.
00:38:56How dare she do it and not admit it.
00:38:59Yes, Summer, as the saying goes,
00:39:01ugly people make more trouble,
00:39:03but poor people make even more trouble.
00:39:07I couldn't care less what you think of me,
00:39:09but I didn't hire actors for this.
00:39:12We are all regular employees of the hotel.
00:39:14We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:39:17You must have misunderstood.
00:39:25Misunderstood?
00:39:27Elisa, you really are hopeless.
00:39:30You found some actors and got two bottles of fake wine
00:39:34thinking you could show off at the reunion party?
00:39:46This cheap wine is only good for making noise when it shatters.
00:39:53With this order from President Hawthorne,
00:39:56I don't have to worry about my performance.
00:39:59For the rest of the month, I think I'm going to make Ms. Fair
00:40:02a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:40:07Hello?
00:40:08Oh, good, Mr. Carlos.
00:40:10Ms. Fair is in trouble.
00:40:12What?
00:40:13I'm coming over.
00:40:14Damaging someone else's property?
00:40:16Lavinia, you have never been one to consider the consequences
00:40:19of doing whatever Summer tells you to do.
00:40:21How much can a fake bottle of wine be worth?
00:40:24I'll pay her, and I'll pay for the remaining wine,
00:40:27and I'll just buy them all so that she can smash them for fun.
00:40:33You're disgusting.
00:40:35We're ashamed to have you as a classmate.
00:40:38You don't deserve to be at our party.
00:40:40Security!
00:40:41Where's the security?
00:40:42How may I assist you?
00:40:43Well, we don't know who this woman is,
00:40:45and I don't know how she got in here,
00:40:47and I want her out of here.
00:40:49Well, this is Summer Hart,
00:40:52fiance of the President of Hawthorne School.
00:40:56And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:59I see.
00:41:01Now, what are you doing?
00:41:04What is going on here?
00:41:07Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:41:14Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:41:18Yes, I did.
00:41:20In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:41:26That can't be possible.
00:41:28Her family went bankrupt years ago.
00:41:31She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:33Let me correct myself.
00:41:35Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest,
00:41:39not only is she our VVVIP customer,
00:41:43but the wine was arranged to be sent by President Hawthorne to her.
00:41:48Does my word count? Does it have any weight around here?
00:41:52Mr. Carlos, there must be some mistake.
00:41:55Well, the wine was personally arranged
00:41:58by President Hawthorne's personal assistant, Ronan.
00:42:02How can there possibly be a mistake?
00:42:05Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:42:10How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:42:13You said that you would pay me back tenfold.
00:42:16Forget the tenfold. Just pay me the original price.
00:42:21Is Lucian going to be angry with me for this?
00:42:24Whatever. Let's just enjoy this moment.
00:42:26What's going on? Did President Hawthorne really send the wine to Elisa?
00:42:30I have no idea.
00:42:32Maybe Summer is just lying and she's being presumptuous about Mr. Hawthorne.
00:42:38So Summer, what's the best way for you to pay me back for this?
00:42:42You should have seen the look on Summer's face when she tried to swipe her card.
00:42:47It was hilarious.
00:42:49Oh my gosh, today we finally showed her who's boss.
00:42:52I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucian's dream girl.
00:42:56When he finds out I, the placeholder wife, am totally getting the...
00:43:00Legally, you are Mr. Hawthorne's wife.
00:43:03You are literally the President's wife.
00:43:05You have the high ground. What are you so afraid of?
00:43:08You have the high ground. What are you so afraid of?
00:43:10Come on, let's go drink and celebrate.
00:43:13Do you actually want to drink right now?
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:16No.
00:43:17Yes.
00:43:18No.
00:43:19You're not getting into my heart.
00:43:25Amelia, be honest with me, okay?
00:43:28What is it?
00:43:29I don't understand why Lucian wanted to marry me.
00:43:33I don't know, it's just...
00:43:35I'm starting to feel like maybe he...
00:43:37Like...
00:43:39Is he actually someone you know?
00:43:40Hey, Lisa.
00:43:41I have something I have to attend to, so I'm going to be leaving now.
00:43:45What? Wait, no.
00:43:47Are you gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:55Are you real?
00:43:56Or am I dreaming?
00:43:58Well, no, you're not dreaming.
00:43:59I'm actually here to take you home.
00:44:01Big gossip.
00:44:02No.
00:44:03I don't want to go home.
00:44:04I want to drink more.
00:44:06Lisa, you've had too much.
00:44:08You're going to have a headache tomorrow.
00:44:10Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:44:14Come on.
00:44:15I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:44:19Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:44:24Come on.
00:44:26Okay, ready?
00:44:27Three, two, one.
00:44:29Okay, here we go.
00:44:36Mr. Hawthorne, computer 19.
00:44:38Here I am.
00:44:39Working overtime in the middle of the night.
00:44:41Driving at this speed.
00:44:42Excuse me.
00:44:43Excuse me.
00:44:45Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:50Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:52Actually, I've been in love with you for ten years.
00:44:55Ever since I first saw you.
00:45:00Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe.
00:45:03And my father was also.
00:45:07Christian, let your father rest in peace.
00:45:13You are all I've got now.
00:45:19Anyway, I didn't dare to show you even a sliver of my feelings for you.
00:45:24But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:45:27Could you give me a chance?
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:33Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:42Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed.
00:45:45She's the worst!
00:45:47I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved
00:45:50and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:53Oh?
00:45:54What is it?
00:45:57What is it?
00:45:58Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:46:02Why don't we tell her about Elisa seducing Mr. Hawthorne then?
00:46:07Good idea.
00:46:09Mia is the matriarch of the Hawthorne family.
00:46:12She's very clever.
00:46:14But she never got involved in the family business
00:46:17and she's lived in seclusion abroad for years.
00:46:20Even I haven't spoken to her.
00:46:23All we need to do is send an anonymous text message to Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:46:28And we just need to wait for Elisa to be expelled from the Hawthorne family.
00:46:38I went through great lengths to get this,
00:46:41but I never contacted her because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:44Do it for me.
00:46:46When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:53It's my pleasure to help you, Ms. Hart.
00:46:56I just hope that when you become the president's wife,
00:47:01you won't forget me.
00:47:03Of course not.
00:47:11Matriarch Hawthorne,
00:47:13you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:47:16What does it say?
00:47:17It says his eviction of Mr. Hawthorne.
00:47:20She told him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:47:27Book me a flight.
00:47:29I need to go back immediately.
00:47:35Oh my god.
00:47:36I'm going to be late again today.
00:47:38Oh my god.
00:47:39I'm so sorry.
00:47:41I'm so sorry.
00:47:42You need to pay for this.
00:47:45It was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:48I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:50Are you trying to leave me?
00:47:51Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation.
00:47:54Having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:57How did I?
00:47:59Okay.
00:48:00Here, can I help you get up first?
00:48:03Yeah.
00:48:04Well, are you going to help me up?
00:48:07Are you okay?
00:48:08No, I am not okay.
00:48:10My leg really hurts.
00:48:11I don't think I'm going to be able to walk.
00:48:13You need to take responsibility for this.
00:48:15How can a young girl be so bad?
00:48:17She hit somebody.
00:48:18She doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:48:20She looks good, but she's ugly on the inside.
00:48:23I don't know.
00:48:24The truth is...
00:48:25Never mind.
00:48:26Okay.
00:48:27Ma'am, do you have your family's contact information?
00:48:30I can help you reach out to them.
00:48:32Family?
00:48:34Who are my family?
00:48:37I don't remember.
00:48:42You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:45I don't remember anything.
00:48:47What do I do?
00:48:48You don't remember where you live?
00:48:49I don't remember anything.
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:52I do.
00:48:53How about I take you to the hospital and then to a police station?
00:48:58No, no, no, no, no.
00:49:00I'm not going to a hospital or a police station.
00:49:02I don't trust anybody.
00:49:04Oh, no.
00:49:05I'm going to be late.
00:49:06But there's the weekly department meeting today.
00:49:08I can't take leave.
00:49:11Okay.
00:49:12Ma'am, since you're not going anywhere,
00:49:14how about I take you to my company office?
00:49:17And then after work, I'll help you find your family.
00:49:20Fine.
00:49:21Because you need to take responsibility for this.
00:49:23You cannot leave my side.
00:49:25Okay, okay.
00:49:27Ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:49:29What?
00:49:30My mom's returned home?
00:49:31Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:32According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant,
00:49:34Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message about you
00:49:37and rushed back into the country.
00:49:38What was the text?
00:49:39It said,
00:49:40Mr. Hawthorne, you've been enchanted by St. Douglas.
00:49:43She's always had a temper.
00:49:44Okay.
00:49:45I'm going to attend the business meeting personally.
00:49:47Are you afraid that Matriarch Robinson will suddenly come to our company?
00:49:51I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist.
00:49:53She'll probably be there.
00:49:54All right, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:55I'll arrange it right away.
00:49:59Mom, please don't scare off the wife I finally got.
00:50:05How did the matter about Matriarch Robinson go?
00:50:08Rest assured, Ms. Hart.
00:50:10It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news
00:50:13and returned home immediately.
00:50:15Really?
00:50:17Then Elisa will be out of here soon.
00:50:20Yes.
00:50:21Congratulations in advance, Ms. Hart.
00:50:24Let's go.
00:50:25There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:50:27and Lucian will be there personally.
00:50:29We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:50:32Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip,
00:50:34so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:40If you get bored, you can just play on my phone.
00:50:43Play on my phone?
00:50:44Okay, and we have to keep our voices down because people are working.
00:50:46Okay, I just want to know if I can play on your phone.
00:50:48Everyone, the weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:52Elisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:55Elisa really treats the company as her home,
00:50:57bringing in anyone she likes.
00:51:00Seriously, so filthy.
00:51:01It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:51:08Elisa, our entire department is filled up with work and you...
00:51:13If we have to delay our work,
00:51:15are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:51:17Ms. Hart, this woman might have some trouble with her memory,
00:51:20so I'm only bringing her here temporarily.
00:51:23I was going to help her find her family after work
00:51:25and if she could just sit here for the time being,
00:51:27I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:51:29You mean you brought this old hag in off the street
00:51:33and she's also sick?
00:51:35I think you're crazy.
00:51:37Picking up an old hag like this,
00:51:39thinking of poverty, stinking up the whole office.
00:51:42What if you find her in a sewer?
00:51:44What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill,
00:51:47but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:50Yeah, Ms. Hart, I really think we should call a cleaner later
00:51:52to disinfect everywhere this lady's been.
00:51:55How could all of you be so cruel?
00:51:57Don't you all have families too?
00:52:00What if one of them had lost their memory and needed your help?
00:52:03This girl, she's interesting.
00:52:05I'm not the one who's sick.
00:52:06You're sick!
00:52:09Disgusting.
00:52:10Alisa, our company has rules and regulations.
00:52:13It's not a place for you to show your kindness.
00:52:16Get this old hag out of here now.
00:52:22Get this old hag out of here now.
00:52:25Ms. Hart, there is nothing in our company policy
00:52:27that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:52:29In fact, it encourages us to do so.
00:52:31Oh, there isn't?
00:52:32Well, now there is.
00:52:36Do you have a problem?
00:52:37Ms. Hart is a senior leader in our company.
00:52:39She can represent our president,
00:52:41and now she just happened to add another company rule.
00:52:44Even if she asks security to drag you out,
00:52:46there's nothing you can do.
00:52:48Understand?
00:52:50How come the employees of the business department are like this?
00:52:54Lucian will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:57Alisa, you have two minutes.
00:52:59If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you.
00:53:03You can go beg on the street with her.
00:53:05Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:53:09Summer, you are really pushing it.
00:53:11Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:53:14I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:53:17As a low-level employee,
00:53:19you have contradicted me one too many times.
00:53:21And now you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne?
00:53:24You're fired.
00:53:27Two years.
00:53:28Two years away from this company,
00:53:30and I never thought that the business department
00:53:32at the Hawthorne Group would decay into this state.
00:53:38Alisa will not be fired.
00:53:40You will.
00:53:44You will.
00:53:46Matthew, did I just hear this old hag say she's going to fire us?
00:53:50She has a problem with her brain.
00:53:52That's why she's talking crazy.
00:53:54It's hard to tell our president's wife to be firing her.
00:53:58Too ridiculous.
00:54:00Besides memory loss, is she also crazy?
00:54:03Why are they saying president's wife?
00:54:06Isn't it you?
00:54:08Are all of you quite finished?
00:54:10I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:54:12You are kind and righteous.
00:54:14You never use Lucian's identity to gain power.
00:54:17But you?
00:54:18Okay, ma'am, it's okay.
00:54:20I'm going to help you find your family.
00:54:22Let's go.
00:54:23Why do we need to leave?
00:54:24Why don't they leave first?
00:54:25Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:54:28Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now.
00:54:38You've got guts.
00:54:40I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:51You actually dared to hit me?
00:54:54Ms. Hart?
00:54:55Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate.
00:54:58I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:55:00You don't have the authority.
00:55:02Of course I do.
00:55:03She hit my subordinate.
00:55:04I can reasonably deduce she has some mental issues.
00:55:07How many times do I have to tell you?
00:55:09Yes, this woman is clearly sick,
00:55:10but naturally I'm going to find her family to let them handle it.
00:55:14If you and Matthew hadn't instigated this,
00:55:16none of this would have happened.
00:55:18This woman's actions can only be described as self-defense.
00:55:20Yeah, I think you're the one who's crazy.
00:55:22You don't respect the elderly.
00:55:24You're not qualified to be a leader.
00:55:26I don't know why your company's higher-ups even chose you.
00:55:32Oh, are you angry?
00:55:38Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight!
00:55:40Security!
00:55:41Throw both of them out of Hawthorne Grove.
00:55:46With me here, they can't drive you away.
00:55:49I tell you, I am...
00:55:51Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:55Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:59Oh, my God.
00:56:00Why does Lucian come to the business department every day?
00:56:03Fine.
00:56:04I guess we'll have another showdown.
00:56:06Explain.
00:56:07Well, it's like this.
00:56:08Elisa brought this woman in off the street,
00:56:10who smells terrible,
00:56:11and insisted on having her in the office,
00:56:13which was disrupting everyone's work,
00:56:15so I'm only thinking of the company.
00:56:17Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:56:18What if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone?
00:56:22I take full responsibility for this incident.
00:56:24If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation.
00:56:29Hawthorne Grove is not an impersonal company.
00:56:32Elisa's done well.
00:56:35From today forward,
00:56:36you'll be promoted to team leader,
00:56:38and oversee projects as a reward.
00:56:41Mr. Hawthorne, I'm...
00:56:43I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:45I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:50As for you,
00:56:51you can go to HR,
00:56:52and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:56He is the backbone of the business department.
00:56:58If you fire him, there'll be no elites left.
00:57:01Summer, you managed the business department into a mess.
00:57:03You're responsible for that.
00:57:05I promised to manage the business department better.
00:57:08This won't happen again.
00:57:10Matthew,
00:57:11why have you not apologized to Miss Medan and Miss Bail yet?
00:57:18Matthew,
00:57:19why have you not apologized to Miss Medan and Miss Bail yet?
00:57:25I'm sorry.
00:57:26Please forgive me.
00:57:28Why are you apologizing first?
00:57:29This one almost just put me into a mental hospital.
00:57:32You old hag.
00:57:33How dare you ask me to apologize?
00:57:36Miss Art,
00:57:38apologize.
00:57:41Sorry.
00:57:42I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:49I was wrong.
00:57:50I'm sorry.
00:57:52And you guys?
00:57:56I'm sorry.
00:57:58Sorry.
00:58:01Have I been misunderstanding him all this time?
00:58:03Could it be?
00:58:04Well,
00:58:05that's the end of that matter.
00:58:06I'll take care of this lady,
00:58:09and help her find her family.
00:58:15Lucian, why did you call me over?
00:58:17What if Elisa finds out?
00:58:18What exactly are you trying to do?
00:58:20I want to
00:58:22test my daughter-in-law.
00:58:23Haven't you tested her enough today?
00:58:25She's great.
00:58:26You saw that.
00:58:31Oh,
00:58:32Lucian,
00:58:34you're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:58:37It's enough.
00:58:40Fine.
00:58:42Look,
00:58:43Elisa is a very good girl,
00:58:45but
00:58:46it seems she doesn't even know that
00:58:48you like her.
00:58:49Nor does anyone else know that
00:58:51she's your wife.
00:58:52Why are you keeping this marriage so
00:58:54secretive?
00:58:56I don't know how to tell her.
00:58:58I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public,
00:59:01pressure will be too much for her.
00:59:03Lucian,
00:59:04when did you become such a coward?
00:59:06Look, if you like her,
00:59:08just confess boldly.
00:59:11You don't want to wait till Elisa falls for
00:59:13some other guy before you feel regret,
00:59:15do you?
00:59:17Regret what?
00:59:21Nothing.
00:59:22Please, come sit.
00:59:27Elisa,
00:59:29I'm sorry I deceptive earlier.
00:59:32I...
00:59:34I'm actually Lucian's mother.
00:59:36What?
00:59:39Please, let me explain.
00:59:42A few days ago,
00:59:43I got an anonymous text saying that
00:59:45some woman was trying to seduce Lucian
00:59:48and I got afraid that
00:59:50he might get tricked.
00:59:52Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:58Yes, Mrs. Hoffman, I understand.
01:00:00You're just looking out for your son.
01:00:02But I am concerned that the person who sent that text
01:00:04must have had bad intentions.
01:00:06I have an idea who sent it.
01:00:08Go ahead.
01:00:09Good.
01:00:10And Elisa?
01:00:11I heard that Lucian plans on taking you
01:00:13to a very fancy dinner tonight.
01:00:16Okay.
01:00:17There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
01:00:31Lucian, why aren't you eating?
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:36Of course.
01:00:41Elisa, what do you want to ask me?
01:00:43If you want a divorce, it's not going to happen.
01:00:46Why would you think I want a divorce?
01:00:53Okay.
01:00:55I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:58You've liked Summer for ten years.
01:01:01I mean, why would you marry me?
01:01:03Why protect me at every turn?
01:01:06Hold on.
01:01:08You think I've liked Summer for ten years?
01:01:10Judging by his reaction,
01:01:12he must have been caught off guard.
01:01:14Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:01:17Seriously, why would I have liked her for ten years?
01:01:19Elisa,
01:01:20I've liked you for ten years.
01:01:24What?
01:01:26How could that possibly be?
01:01:27The first day we met,
01:01:29I fell for you.
01:01:31But because of the
01:01:32conflict between our parents,
01:01:35I chose to get home.
01:01:37I wanted to show you that I cared for you,
01:01:39but I couldn't.
01:01:40I was afraid that it would
01:01:41put you in danger.
01:01:43I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:46All these years, I've
01:01:48suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:50I fought tooth and nail
01:01:53to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:56And now it's taken me a decade to
01:01:59fully stand by you like this.
01:02:01So why now?
01:02:02I was afraid if I told you
01:02:04you didn't like me,
01:02:05we wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:02:08And so it's ruined.
01:02:10So when you sat next to me
01:02:11all those years ago,
01:02:12it wasn't because
01:02:13you didn't like your food?
01:02:17Hey, I, uh,
01:02:18don't really like this.
01:02:22I'm sorry.
01:02:24I'm sorry.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:28I'm sorry.
01:02:30I'm sorry.
01:02:32I'm sorry.
01:02:39Yeah, I...
01:02:41I'm really sorry I shouldn't...
01:02:42couldn't show you my feelings
01:02:43in the proper way.
01:02:46But then...
01:02:48why did you write
01:02:49Summer that love letter back then?
01:02:51What love letter?
01:02:53I only remember delivering a
01:02:55party invitation to her
01:02:56from my parents.
01:02:58Well, why are all your passwords
01:02:59Summer's birthday?
01:03:00You mean 0903?
01:03:03What does that have to do with Summer?
01:03:04I don't even know her birthday.
01:03:06So then what's 0903 to you?
01:03:08Melissa 0903
01:03:10September 3rd
01:03:11is the day we first met.
01:03:14So it was...
01:03:15it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:03:20So it was...
01:03:21it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:03:23Listen.
01:03:24I love you.
01:03:26I know.
01:03:27I tricked you into marrying me.
01:03:30My feelings for you
01:03:31are absolutely true.
01:03:33So...
01:03:34will you try to accept me?
01:03:37I know that
01:03:38our marriage started as a contract
01:03:39but it...
01:03:40it feels real to me now.
01:03:44I love you.
01:03:45I want to be with you.
01:03:47I want to be with you now
01:03:48and I want to be with you
01:03:49when we're older.
01:03:52I love you.
01:04:01You're finally mine.
01:04:05I'm yours.
01:04:16Hey.
01:04:17From now on
01:04:18we're true husband and wife.
01:04:20We don't have to keep our relationship secret
01:04:21in front of our colleagues anymore.
01:04:23Okay.
01:04:28Lucian, I...
01:04:30Elise, you...
01:04:32Summer, I'd like you to meet my wife.
01:04:34What?
01:04:36Elisa and I have actually been married
01:04:37for a long time.
01:04:38So you don't have to send those
01:04:39divisive text messages
01:04:40to my mom anymore.
01:04:41We all like Elisa.
01:04:43So no matter how much
01:04:44you try to sow discord between us
01:04:46it's never going to work.
01:04:47What text messages?
01:04:48I...
01:04:49I have the evidence, Summer.
01:04:54Now,
01:04:55considering the relationship
01:04:56between our families
01:04:57I'm going to ask you to go ahead
01:04:58and submit your resignation
01:04:59from your team.
01:05:01As for everyone else
01:05:03you all get off
01:05:04an hour early today.
01:05:06And you're invited to dinner
01:05:07with my wife.
01:05:10Yay!
