00:00:00Three years of marriage, and this is probably the hundredth time I've caught him cheating.
00:00:06But this time, I just can't take it anymore.
00:00:11Mm-mm!
00:00:16Aren't you getting tired of this kind of behavior?
00:00:18I've told you a million times, you can't just barge in here.
00:00:26Divorce agreement.
00:00:27Don't play this cat-and-mouse game with me.
00:00:30I'll give you one chance, take this back, I'll pretend that you never had one.
00:00:43Are you sure?
00:00:44Sign it.
00:00:54You two have a lovely afternoon.
00:00:58Looks like Emily's finally given up on you.
00:01:02No way.
00:01:03Her grandfather has cancer, and he's always wanted a kid.
00:01:07She'll be back.
00:01:20Hey, Daniel.
00:01:22I need you to help me find a man.
00:01:24A millionaire.
00:01:25Find a man, a million men, just someone who can help me have a child.
00:01:30What? One million? To have a child?
00:01:33Yeah, and make it fast.
00:01:39Miss Grinch, as per your specifications, I found someone meeting all your requirements.
00:01:44He's six foot two, an Ivy League graduate, incredibly good-looking with an impressive physique,
00:01:49and most importantly, very skilled.
00:01:53Uh, his name is...
00:01:57Eric, and he completely exceeds all of your standards.
00:02:01Amazing. Can he come by tonight?
00:02:03Yes, certainly, you can set it up.
00:02:04Although, um, he does have one condition.
00:02:08He's a little bit shy, and he requests that he wears a mask,
00:02:13and that the lights are off when...
00:02:18I mean, you know.
00:02:20Mask on, lights off.
00:02:23Okay, I guess we all have our requirements.
00:02:28You know what, why don't you set up an appointment for tonight in my apartment?
00:02:31Uh, I'll say 9 p.m.
00:02:3410 p.m. it is.
00:02:34Oh, and can you please keep pushing Tom's lawyers?
00:02:38Oh, for what?
00:02:40For the divorce.
00:02:41Uh, Mr. Brooks, are you sure about this?
00:02:50I mean, pretending to be a coal boy?
00:03:00As long as I'm by her side, I don't care who I have to pretend to be.
00:03:11Hey, why didn't you answer your phone?
00:03:21I waited for you all night.
00:03:22He was with me all night.
00:03:24With your attitude, no wonder he doesn't want to come home.
00:03:27If you don't know how to keep your husband happy, just ask.
00:03:30I'd be happy to teach you.
00:03:32Free advice.
00:03:41Take me to the bed.
00:04:05Are you sure?
00:04:08Yes.
00:04:09That voice, it sounds familiar, but it doesn't matter.
00:04:15I can't see him anyway.
00:04:17He's here for my money, and I'm here for his body.
00:04:23After tonight, Tom will be out of my life forever.
00:04:29I don't want you thinking about anyone else.
00:04:32Tonight, you're mine.
00:04:38So eager to get divorced.
00:04:56You have your lawyer calling me 20 times a day, huh?
00:05:01Bet I am.
00:05:03You sound happy.
00:05:06Is divorce making you this happy?
00:05:09Oh, it's not too bad.
00:05:12Let's, um, Mr. Reed, let's remember our deal.
00:05:14And just remember that everything has to be under wraps for now.
00:05:25Evelyn, even if we get divorced, I know you'll always love me.
00:05:38What was I expecting?
00:05:49Asking for a child, not a husband.
00:06:09Hello?
00:06:16Ms. Grant, just a heads up.
00:06:17The charity gala you're attending tonight, your ex-husband, Mr. Reed, will be there too.
00:06:25Okay, thank you.
00:06:38Ethan, you so-and-so.
00:06:54Hey, how are you?
00:06:55What the hell are you doing in a place like this?
00:06:57I thought you hated these events.
00:07:00You think it's wise to bring your little companion here to an event like this?
00:07:04What are you talking about?
00:07:05I've always been like this, haven't I?
00:07:08Lower your voice, please.
00:07:10I don't give a shit.
00:07:11What's up your ass?
00:07:12You could have any woman in this room.
00:07:14You know, I'm seriously starting to question your preferences.
00:07:18Getting a little crush on me, huh?
00:07:19Oh, Ethan, so dull.
00:07:24Where is she?
00:07:25She should be here by now.
00:07:37Evelyn, dear!
00:07:54I just saw Tom.
00:07:56He was with a beautiful woman.
00:07:59Are you two having trouble?
00:08:03Really, Ms. Smith?
00:08:04Go sleeping now?
00:08:06What's he got to do with you anyway?
00:08:07Oh, don't feel sorry for her.
00:08:09She married the CEO of Raid Enterprises.
00:08:12That doesn't make her special.
00:08:13After all these years, maybe your husband just doesn't want you anymore, Evelyn.
00:08:20Some things are worth the wait, aren't they?
00:08:27Tom's really crossing the line this time, though.
00:08:31I mean, the divorce is not even official yet,
00:08:33and he's already showing up to events like this with her.
00:08:36He's in a rush to make it official, isn't he?
00:08:38If they're planning on humiliating me tonight, I'm not going to make it easy.
00:08:44Oh, pretty, isn't it?
00:08:47This ring?
00:08:48Got it last week in Dubai.
00:08:50It costs a lot.
00:08:52Ms. Melissa, you're sitting in my seat.
00:08:56Can you move, please?
00:09:00I knew it.
00:09:00Deep down, you still care about me, don't you?
00:09:03I'm Tom's plus one tonight.
00:09:05I should be sitting next to him.
00:09:07Oh, the wife versus the mistress.
00:09:13Ms. Melissa, I know you come with a price tag.
00:09:17How much did Tom pay you to come here tonight?
00:09:19How about this?
00:09:20I'll pay you double if you want to stand all the way over there.
00:09:35The scent.
00:09:49It's familiar.
00:09:56Thanks.
00:10:03I knew it.
00:10:04You still have feelings for me.
00:10:05You know, if you apologize, I'll consider taking you back.
00:10:10Keep dreaming, Tom.
00:10:12I'm just doing this so our company stops this employment.
00:10:21Oh, Ms. Grant, the driver says that he's stuck in traffic right now.
00:10:24Oh, that's okay.
00:10:24No rush.
00:10:34Uh, is that Mr. Brooke's car?
00:10:39Yeah, and he's been watching you all night.
00:10:43No, that's impossible.
00:10:44You know, he's one of Tom's best friends.
00:10:46He's never liked me.
00:10:48And if he's staring at me or looking at me, it's probably with all the resentment he can muster.
00:10:53What?
00:10:53No way.
00:10:56What I mean is, I mean, look at it.
00:10:59It's just amazing.
00:11:01And he's worth what?
00:11:02Over 80 billion dollars?
00:11:04Plus he's ridiculously handsome.
00:11:06I think you two would make quite the perfect match, really.
00:11:10I don't think so.
00:11:11I mean, he's just so full of himself and walks around like he's better than everyone.
00:11:16And although he is good looking, he's always going to be insufferable.
00:11:20And I feel bad for any person who's going to marry him.
00:11:23Mr. Brooks, if Miss Grande ever finds out that I'm your inside man, I am done for.
00:11:37Oh, by the way, here's the payment that she sent for last night.
00:11:41Services.
00:11:44Just so you know, she said you did a pretty good job.
00:11:49But seriously, Mr. Brooks, she's divorced now.
00:11:53Why not go after her openly?
00:11:55You're the CEO of Brooks Enterprises.
00:11:58You don't have to pretend to be some kind of...
00:12:01...cowboy.
00:12:03Listen, it does not matter who I have to pretend to be.
00:12:07As long as I'm by her side, that's all that matters.
00:12:10I can't lose her again.
00:12:23Hey, Grandpa.
00:12:24Evelyn, how's everything with you and that Reed boy?
00:12:29When will you finally give me a great grandchild?
00:12:35Grandpa, there's something I need to tell you.
00:12:37No, no, no, no.
00:12:38Don't give me excuses.
00:12:40Ever since your parents passed, it's been only you and me.
00:12:44Would you give me the joy of holding a great grandchild?
00:12:48Is that okay?
00:12:49Yeah, sure.
00:12:51I love you, Grandpa.
00:13:06Uh, Daniel, hey, yeah.
00:13:08Uh, has this cowboy been tested properly?
00:13:11I really don't want someone who's infertile.
00:13:17No.
00:13:18No.
00:13:21Of course he's been tested properly.
00:13:24Everything's good.
00:13:26Okay, then why, why isn't it working?
00:13:29Starting next week, I want him here every day.
00:13:33Every day?
00:13:36Is there a problem?
00:13:37No, no, won't be a problem at all.
00:13:40Great.
00:13:41Also, I want to make sure he's not taking on any other clients.
00:13:45I really don't want him coming from someone else's bed into mine.
00:13:49A little professional etiquette would be nice.
00:13:54Mr. Brooks, just a gentle reminder.
00:13:56You have seven international meetings and 13 projects lined up for next week.
00:14:02You're already running on fumes.
00:14:04I'm not quite sure how you're gonna make it every day next week.
00:14:11Tell her anytime, anywhere.
00:14:15Okay.
00:14:20Grandpa's health is getting worse.
00:14:22I really need to get pregnant soon.
00:14:25Hey, where is Eric?
00:14:27Um, he's, um, caught up with something right now.
00:14:31He might be a little late.
00:14:33What could he possibly be busy with?
00:14:35Entertaining other clients like I told him not to do?
00:14:37God, how does his body keep up?
00:14:41Well, he's, um, actually...
00:14:44No.
00:14:45Forget about it.
00:14:47I'm done waiting for him, okay?
00:14:49I will find someone else.
00:15:04Miss Reed?
00:15:05Mr. Reed is not here tonight, so...
00:15:08Okay, um, you can call me Miss Grant.
00:15:11And relax, I'm not here for Tom.
00:15:15Okay, I'm just doing this.
00:15:18I need you to find me some of your best-looking pets, okay?
00:15:21And they need to be very happy, okay?
00:15:24Thanks.
00:15:25Of course.
00:15:30It's already 11 o'clock, sir.
00:15:33You've been in back-to-back meetings since you came back from your trip.
00:15:37You really should skip this one.
00:15:40No, I have to go.
00:15:42What'd she say?
00:15:45Miss Grant said, um...
00:15:48She's planning to...
00:15:51To find someone else.
00:15:54What?
00:15:57Where is she?
00:16:01Miss Reed?
00:16:01Come on, boys.
00:16:03Let's introduce ourselves, come on!
00:16:04Number one from Sydney.
00:16:08Number two from Ukraine.
00:16:12Number three from Russia.
00:16:15Come on, hurry up, hurry up!
00:16:18Come on, come on.
00:16:20You are so sexy, huh?
00:16:21So cute.
00:16:27My queen.
00:16:30Cute.
00:16:39So, Miss Reed?
00:16:42That one.
00:16:43Come on, attaboy!
00:16:45What's with the look?
00:16:58It's not the first time you've seen me here.
00:17:02Why are you so nervous?
00:17:04Who's in there?
00:17:09I see it, I see it.
00:17:11The boys.
00:17:12There's a woman in there having fun.
00:17:14Oh, yeah, a woman and the boys as well, actually.
00:17:18Let me check it out.
00:17:19Actually...
00:17:34Which hand did you touch her with?
00:17:36What are you doing?
00:17:37Calm down, guys, please calm down.
00:17:39What the hell is this, Evelyn?
00:17:40You're hiring call boys now?
00:17:42This is none of your business.
00:17:43Guys, guys, guys, please calm down, calm down.
00:17:45Unbelievable.
00:17:46I'm unbelievable?
00:17:47Please calm down, okay?
00:17:48Please calm down.
00:17:49What's the matter with you?
00:17:50What are you doing?
00:17:51Did you follow me?
00:17:52Maybe I did.
00:17:53What?
00:17:56What?
00:17:56Mr. Brooks is here.
00:18:00He must be the one who got Miss Grant those call boys.
00:18:03Mr. Brooks, Miss Grant, she just wanted to have some fun.
00:18:07I run a business here.
00:18:09Um, I can't turn away by paying clients.
00:18:14If you do business with her again,
00:18:16I'll make sure it's the last time you do business.
00:18:27Grow up, Tom.
00:18:28Who do you think you are?
00:18:29Who do I think I am?
00:18:30I think I'm your husband.
00:18:31Really?
00:18:32Are you?
00:18:34Evelyn, look, I know you still love me.
00:18:36So how about I just cut Melissa out of my life and we get back together?
00:18:39Really?
00:18:39Okay, yeah.
00:18:40Too late for that, Tom.
00:18:42You can do whatever you want as long as you stay out of my life.
00:18:46Oh, yeah? And what if I don't, huh?
00:18:47What's your plan with this call boy?
00:18:50I mean, Jesus, I don't even know what you want anymore.
00:18:52What I want?
00:18:54I just want to have some fun.
00:18:55Oh, yeah? You want to have fun?
00:18:57Well, let's play.
00:18:58Let her go.
00:19:01Let her go.
00:19:04Ethan, how are you doing here?
00:19:08Perfect timing.
00:19:09We can all play.
00:19:11See, I've got a piece of land with about 200 million.
00:19:13Just south of downtown.
00:19:15Your company's been eyeing it for a commercial development.
00:19:17Tried to outbid me more than once.
00:19:20If you win, it's yours.
00:19:29All right, last three rounds.
00:19:41Eric's cologne smells just like this.
00:19:56Right?
00:19:57No.
00:19:58No, they're not the same person.
00:20:05Round two.
00:20:11Looks like you're pretty intent on giving up that land, Tommy.
00:20:22The game's slipping.
00:20:23Yeah, I guess so.
00:20:25How's third round sound?
00:20:27Yeah?
00:20:32Where's your ring?
00:20:37We're over, Tom.
00:20:41So is this game.
00:20:43How about from now on, you walk your bath in that?
00:20:46I'll walk mine.
00:20:53Tom?
00:21:06See, you could have knocked, you know?
00:21:10I thought you'd like surprise.
00:21:19Do you have a fever?
00:21:22You shouldn't be here if you're sick.
00:21:24What?
00:21:25I show up a little late and you're already ready to replace me.
00:21:28If I hadn't shown up, you'd have forgotten about me.
00:21:34This scent, it's so familiar.
00:21:41Oh, no, not tonight, okay?
00:21:46Let me just get you some medicine.
00:21:48It'll help your fever, okay?
00:21:50Just be right back.
00:21:52I don't need medicine.
00:21:54I need you.
00:22:00Um, if you're sick, you need to rest.
00:22:04It's not going to kill me.
00:22:06What will kill me is you looking at somebody else.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:10How about this?
00:22:11How about you just get my number from Daniel?
00:22:13And if you need anything, you can text me, okay?
00:22:18Um, Daniel told me recently that you've had a really rough 10 years financially.
00:22:26Is that true?
00:22:27Is that why you're so eager to do this and get the money?
00:22:29I mean...
00:22:30I've had a rough 10 years.
00:22:32Well, how do you have that watch, Ben?
00:22:37It's one of the most expensive luxury brands.
00:22:40I mean, you could buy a house with that thing.
00:22:42How do you have that?
00:22:43Who are you?
00:22:47It was a gift from a friend.
00:22:51You know, I could help you out financially if that's what you need, under one condition.
00:23:00I need you to sign a long-term contract, which means you only serve me and no one else.
00:23:10Okay.
00:23:12During that time, I don't want you looking at anybody else but me.
00:23:16That's it.
00:23:18Okay?
00:23:19Fair enough.
00:23:22Deal?
00:23:24Deal.
00:23:27I think a handshake deal should be more than just a handshake.
00:23:30Okay, you really need some sleep, okay?
00:23:33Well, you paid me for the night.
00:23:36Consider it a tip.
00:23:38I heard exercise is good for a fever.
00:23:54After all these years, you still haven't moved on from that.
00:23:58Mr. Bruce, maybe you should go to the hospital for a night in.
00:24:01No, I'm fine.
00:24:02Just leave the files and go.
00:24:04What if you infect Ms. Grant?
00:24:08How long between the supplier meeting and the gala?
00:24:10Why not schedule the doctor for them?
00:24:14I knew Ms. Grant would do the trick.
00:24:19Should you sugar my mother?
00:24:20No, I don't think so.
00:24:22I don't think so.
00:24:22I don't think so.
00:24:23I don't think so.
00:24:24I don't think so.
00:24:24I don't think so.
00:24:25I don't think so.
00:24:25I don't think so.
00:24:26I don't think so.
00:24:27It's enough.
00:24:31Back to work.
00:24:35All right, tell Grandpa I'll be there soon, okay?
00:24:44This is a waste of time.
00:24:45Mr. Brooks, it's for Ms. Grant's health as well.
00:24:49You do want her back with you sooner, don't you?
00:24:57Wait, wait, wait!
00:25:02Oh my gosh, who does that?
00:25:05So rude.
00:25:21Mr. Brooks.
00:25:28So what brings you to the hospital?
00:25:35Um, I'm here to visit my grandpa.
00:25:38How are you?
00:25:40Oh, sorry, I gotta run.
00:25:46Let me know where Grandpa is conditioned.
00:25:48Get him the best care possible.
00:25:50I'll cover all the costs.
00:25:52Of course, Mr. Brooks, I'll take care of it right away.
00:25:54Grandpa, what did the doctor say?
00:25:59Why did you come alone?
00:26:01Where's that boy from the Reed family?
00:26:03Uh, he's busy.
00:26:05He's busy?
00:26:08Aunt Vivian has been seen at every party in town.
00:26:12Last I heard, he is practically flaunting Melissa.
00:26:16Just ridiculous that you, the legitimate wife, are sidelined.
00:26:21Hey, take it easy, all right?
00:26:23You okay?
00:26:24Oh, Evelyn, this marriage is not just about you.
00:26:27It affects the whole family.
00:26:30If he is seen with someone else, the entire family name is disrespected.
00:26:36Vivian, are you scared I'm following in your footsteps?
00:26:40Because when you were booted by your in-laws, the family name was erased?
00:26:44I'm just looking out for you.
00:26:47You talk back to me.
00:26:49You're going to worry your grandfather to death.
00:26:52Evelyn, my health is not what it used to be.
00:26:56Tell me the truth.
00:26:57What is going on between you and that Reed boy, and where is your ring?
00:27:02Um, I...
00:27:05Deepest apologies.
00:27:06I was picking up something for Evelyn.
00:27:10I was picking up something for Evelyn.
00:27:12New ring, just for her.
00:27:14Vivian, you always seem to have your ear to the ground, huh?
00:27:19That party with Melissa last week?
00:27:22It's strictly business.
00:27:23We're funding her next project.
00:27:25But if my wife isn't happy with it, we'll drop her.
00:27:29Simple as that.
00:27:30As a matter of fact, I'll do it right now.
00:27:34Well, yeah, we can drop Melissa for that project, going in your direction.
00:27:38All that I want is the two of you to be close.
00:27:42And if you really want to strengthen the bond, having a child will mean everything.
00:27:47We'll get it done, Granddad.
00:27:49Two kids in three years?
00:27:50Sure.
00:27:52That's what I like to hear.
00:27:53You know, Vivian, I couldn't help but overhear you over there, and it struck me.
00:27:59You two are the perfect couple.
00:28:01I mean, you two are the perfect couple.
00:28:03I mean, you two are the perfect couple.
00:28:06And it struck me, you don't know when to speak or when to keep your mouth shut, dude.
00:28:13So I just thought I would remind you that my company is funding the film that your daughter's
00:28:18in.
00:28:19So I really think it's in your best interest for you to mind your own business.
00:28:25Honey, you look tired.
00:28:27You should go home, get some rest.
00:28:28I'll stay here with Grandpa.
00:28:33I should go home.
00:28:35See you.
00:28:42You know, I went through the trouble of having that ring custom-made like the old one.
00:28:44The least we could do is try again.
00:28:47Tom, thank you so much for playing along for Grandpa, but I really don't need this, okay?
00:28:53Jesus Christ, Ev.
00:28:55You don't need to pull stunts like this just to keep me in line.
00:28:57I mean, I'm easy enough to win over if you just ease up a little bit.
00:29:00We wouldn't even be in this situation if-
00:29:02I am doing what I need to do for me, okay?
00:29:06Right, what you need to do.
00:29:07Let's not forget we promised your grandfather that we'd have a kid by the end of the year.
00:29:10You don't need to worry about that because I am going to have a grandchild for me because
00:29:14I want it and not for someone else.
00:29:17Yeah?
00:29:18What the hell is that supposed to mean, huh?
00:29:20You seeing someone else?
00:29:21Let go of me.
00:29:23It's none of your business.
00:29:32I need to know who my wife's seeing.
00:29:56Are you okay?
00:29:57I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Brooks.
00:30:00Oh my god!
00:30:01It's not good to see you all bruised up.
00:30:03Yeah, I saw him in that finance magazine.
00:30:05He looks even better in person.
00:30:08Oh, okay.
00:30:09These heels are not practical.
00:30:10Let me give you a ride.
00:30:11No, I'm fine, thanks.
00:30:14Oh!
00:30:28What can I help you?
00:30:29Hello, I need to pay the bill.
00:30:31Um, Mr. Brooks made all the arrangements.
00:30:33He's covering all of Mr. Grant's medical expenses and the best specialists have been
00:30:37brought for his care.
00:30:39Wow.
00:30:41That's my best friend, Ethan.
00:30:43Always thinking ahead for me.
00:30:47Mr. Brooks, we have the proposal for the acquisition of Amarat,
00:30:50the international jewelry brand.
00:30:52We need your approval.
00:30:54If it's under 500 million, just go ahead.
00:30:56No need to check in with me.
00:30:58We're not price compromised on this.
00:31:00And if they can't settle the deal within three business days, scrap it.
00:31:05Them two?
00:31:06No way.
00:31:07As the head of a luxury empire,
00:31:09would Ethan really need to take on that kind of job just to feed his ego?
00:31:13No, that makes no sense.
00:31:16Have you seen enough?
00:31:19Have you seen enough?
00:31:21Huh?
00:31:22Ms. Grant seems very interested in me.
00:31:24You haven't been able to leave your eyes since we got in the car.
00:31:28I, um, I was just, um, observing your conversation and how busy you are.
00:31:36And, um, your watch is so fancy.
00:31:40And, um, oh, we're here.
00:31:44So thanks for the ride.
00:31:46Mr. Brooks, I will be seeing you around.
00:31:52And you didn't have to ride all the way up with me.
00:31:54I can manage on my own.
00:31:56I actually live here too.
00:31:59You live on the same floor as me?
00:32:01Looks like Ms. Grant wasn't listening.
00:32:04We've been neighbors long before the divorce.
00:32:06I think we'll be seeing more of each other.
00:32:18Hello?
00:32:19Ethan!
00:32:20Get over here, man, now!
00:32:22My wife, she's trying to have a kid with someone else.
00:32:25There's no problem.
00:32:27Tonight, we're drinking until we can't stand it on two feet.
00:32:33So get off your fucking phone.
00:32:34Come on, drink with me.
00:32:38Hey, come on.
00:32:39What are you doing?
00:32:41Are you seriously Googling how to write a time off request?
00:32:44I mean, it's pretty simple.
00:32:45I mean, you send out a title, you start with the address.
00:32:48It's not that complicated.
00:32:49Besides, what's a CEO like you at, requesting a time off request for, I mean?
00:32:53Come on.
00:32:55Mind your own business, all right?
00:32:56Keep drinking.
00:32:56I'm way ahead of you.
00:33:06Ms. Grant, I will be two hours later to a business dinner,
00:33:09seeking approval for this.
00:33:11Yours, Eric.
00:33:14Seeking approval?
00:33:16His mind works in me.
00:33:17Look at you, huh?
00:33:19Must be in love.
00:33:21Yeah?
00:33:23Even you have a girlfriend now.
00:33:25And here I am, and I'm all alone.
00:33:29And her, behind my back with some other guy, huh?
00:33:32What the hell was that about, huh?
00:33:34Seriously, who is going to treat her better than I did?
00:33:39Who?
00:33:41I saved her, guys.
00:33:43I saved her.
00:33:45I saved her, goddammit.
00:33:49Was it really you?
00:33:53What are you talking about, man?
00:33:54What are you talking about?
00:33:55Maybe you two aren't right for each other.
00:33:58I think it's best you two split as soon as possible.
00:34:04I gotta go.
00:34:06You stay.
00:34:06I'll have my assistant drive you home.
00:34:09No.
00:34:10No, fuck off.
00:34:11Just relax.
00:34:12Just relax.
00:34:13Come on, man.
00:34:13I gotta go.
00:34:14I gotta go.
00:34:16Ethan!
00:34:23I twisted my ankle today, and it still hurts.
00:34:27So maybe we skip tonight?
00:34:30Yeah, let me take care of it, okay?
00:34:41That scent again.
00:34:43It's not quite the same as Ethan's.
00:34:46And besides, someone like Ethan, a CEO with that kind of status,
00:34:50would never let me boss him around like this.
00:34:53There are plenty of people in the world who seem similar.
00:34:56Did you drink tonight?
00:34:59Just a little.
00:35:01It was a business dinner.
00:35:02You just got over being sick.
00:35:04And now they're, like, making you go back to work and drinking.
00:35:08And what kind of boss does that?
00:35:12You know what?
00:35:14You should just quit.
00:35:19And I'll take care of you.
00:35:22You'll take care of me?
00:35:25For how long?
00:35:26Forever?
00:35:33How about I, uh, give you a raise?
00:35:35And, um, if you don't splurge on these expensive watches...
00:35:40Yeah, I can take good care of you.
00:35:45That's a tempting offer.
00:36:04Just laugh at that same word.
00:36:07It's a bit heartless.
00:36:10Of course, the day I give my driver off, I am stranded.
00:36:18How am I supposed to get to work in this rain?
00:36:25Miss Grant, do you need a ride?
00:36:28We're heading to the same place.
00:36:30Thanks, yeah, I'd appreciate it.
00:36:38Good morning, Miss Grant.
00:36:41Does Mr. Brooks always start his day this late?
00:36:43It is 10 a.m. now.
00:36:45Normally, he's in by 7.20.
00:36:47Today is an exception.
00:36:49Here, breakfast.
00:36:51My assistant got it for me, but I'm not hungry.
00:36:55Okay, thanks.
00:36:56Doesn't this place have a really long line?
00:36:58Like, half an hour?
00:37:00Anyone, just drive.
00:37:01Thanks.
00:37:03No problem, Miss Grant.
00:37:04So you, uh, you went to Brighton University, right?
00:37:08Yeah, I did.
00:37:09Me too.
00:37:10We made a cross paths there.
00:37:12Although you were a big star, so you probably don't remember me.
00:37:16No, I remember you.
00:37:17You were quite popular too.
00:37:20What do you remember?
00:37:22Just all the girls crowding around you to watch you play basketball.
00:37:29Were you one of them?
00:37:33No, I wasn't really into sports back then.
00:37:35But, uh, I do remember you were at the top of our class.
00:37:39All those awards, and all the girls would write you love letters.
00:37:46So, do you know, uh, do you know who I was actually into?
00:37:50Yeah, of course.
00:37:53The campus beauty.
00:37:55Lillian, my cousin.
00:38:00Do you think Ethan Brooks is looking at me?
00:38:09Oh, about before.
00:38:21Yeah, everyone knew you had a crush on Lillian.
00:38:23I mean, the girls were heartbroken when they found out.
00:38:27And you?
00:38:28Oh, me?
00:38:28I was always so focused on my studies.
00:38:31Seems to me you were focused more on Tom Reed.
00:38:35Thank you for this, Mr. Brooks.
00:38:36I, uh, I owe you dinner sometime.
00:38:39Deal.
00:38:40Deal.
00:38:46Why didn't the boss let me tell Ms. Grant he bought the breakfast himself?
00:38:50Isn't he the one who hates anyone eating in the car?
00:38:54Ms. Grant?
00:38:55Uh, so next week we are visiting one of our partner companies.
00:38:59I need you to get me this watch.
00:39:01It's supposed to be a new release.
00:39:04Sure, um, this watch.
00:39:06Is that going to be a problem?
00:39:08Um, well, I believe it's the Brooks J11 series.
00:39:11The brand new Deepsea Monster model.
00:39:13Currently on exhibit at the Basel Center.
00:39:15Uh, the soonest it'll be available for sale should be in six months.
00:39:21Okay, then, uh, why does Eric have one on his wrist?
00:39:26Maybe it's a fake.
00:39:28I really hope that's true.
00:39:30I hope he's not lying to me.
00:39:31Mr. Brooks, we're in trouble.
00:39:34Ms. Grant, just call me in.
00:39:36She wants to buy the same watch you have.
00:39:39Do you think she's figured it all out?
00:39:43She never really wanted to know, Daniel.
00:39:46From the beginning, I never wanted to hide our relationship.
00:39:49I'd much rather have it out in the open.
00:39:51And if she's not ready to acknowledge it, it's fine.
00:39:54What I do know is, she'll come back to me.
00:39:57Um, what are you doing here?
00:39:59I know you're having trouble walking, so I figured since we're neighbors, we'll head home together.
00:40:03That's very kind, but I-I-I don't need your help.
00:40:07No, thanks.
00:40:08I know you can.
00:40:10Maybe you should let someone else help you.
00:40:13I-I-I don't want to go through all the trouble.
00:40:14I-I mean, I just called an Uber.
00:40:18It's fine.
00:40:18I-I-I-I don't want to go through all the trouble.
00:40:20I-I-I-I don't want to go through all the trouble.
00:40:22I-I-I-I don't want to go through all the trouble.
00:40:24I-I-I-I don't want to go through all the trouble.
00:40:26So...
00:40:27It's okay.
00:40:28I'll wait.
00:40:32Oh my gosh!
00:40:34Do you know what's going on between Ms. Grant and Mr. Brooks?
00:40:38You need to hear this.
00:40:39It's a true story.
00:40:41Spill!
00:40:42It's a story of war savoring.
00:40:44Trust me.
00:40:45You should get in.
00:40:46The crowd's only going to get bigger.
00:40:56You seem nervous.
00:41:15Not at all.
00:41:16Do you want me to walk you in?
00:41:19No, no.
00:41:20You've already done enough tonight.
00:41:22Thanks.
00:41:26Eric?
00:41:37Larry, don't turn the lights on.
00:41:43I heard Ms. Grant has night blindness.
00:41:50What do you expect to see?
00:41:56I knew it was you.
00:42:02Mr. Brooks?
00:42:04But are you so eager to have a job and to get money?
00:42:10Who wouldn't want more money?
00:42:11Right, right.
00:42:12And Daniel.
00:42:13Daniel's your guy, right?
00:42:17I think you're sick.
00:42:24Don't you at least want to ask me why?
00:42:26No, no.
00:42:27I don't want to know why.
00:42:29Listen, I don't want a title and I don't want money.
00:42:36I just want to go back to our agreement.
00:42:39You want a child, right?
00:42:41I meet all your requirements.
00:42:44Good genes, good health.
00:42:47Why not give it a try?
00:42:57No, no.
00:42:59Why don't you want this?
00:43:00Let me go.
00:43:06Isn't this familiar?
00:43:11How about this?
00:43:15Or this?
00:43:17Stop, stop!
00:43:20I don't want to see you again.
00:43:23No, the deal's off.
00:43:24I'll pay you whatever you want.
00:43:25Just leave.
00:43:28Now!
00:43:52What do you want, Pop?
00:43:54We're picking up Grandpa from the hospital.
00:43:56I bought some supplements, too, for Grandpa.
00:43:59Come on.
00:44:00Let's do this together.
00:44:18Hey, what's wrong with your foot?
00:44:20I...
00:44:24What are you doing?
00:44:26Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:44:28Let's go.
00:44:32Tom, what are you doing?
00:44:34I'm taking you to see a doctor.
00:44:35Tom, put me down!
00:44:38Isn't that Mr. and Mrs. Reed?
00:44:40Oh, Mr. Reed is so caring.
00:44:44She needs to be checked out.
00:44:45She doesn't want me here.
00:44:46I can wait outside, but she needs to see a doctor.
00:44:51Just take care of her.
00:44:53Okay.
00:44:57He's so good to you.
00:45:04All right, come on.
00:45:05Don't make a scene.
00:45:06Grandpa just got out of the hospital,
00:45:08and if he finds out if we got divorced,
00:45:10it might worsen his condition.
00:45:12But Tom, we are divorced.
00:45:14So go take care of yourself.
00:45:17My family doesn't need your concern, okay?
00:45:18I can help you have a kid.
00:45:20Our kid?
00:45:21No need.
00:45:23I swear to God,
00:45:24if I catch you with one of these call boys,
00:45:25we're done, completely.
00:45:27Okay, don't follow me.
00:45:34Still acting tough after the divorce, Evelyn?
00:45:37Without the Reed family backing you, you're nothing.
00:45:49You remember saying that you and Tom got a divorce.
00:45:52Is that true?
00:45:54I...
00:45:55Seriously, Evelyn?
00:45:57I heard it all right there at the hospital.
00:45:59You've been pretending the whole time.
00:46:02If it wasn't for me,
00:46:03your poor grandfather would be in the dark.
00:46:05So you're the one who's been spreading rumors.
00:46:07Watch your tone.
00:46:09Grandpa, it's true.
00:46:13Tom and I are done.
00:46:14Evelyn, do you know what you're doing?
00:46:17The Reeds are very powerful.
00:46:19You can't just leave like that.
00:46:21It's cheating on you.
00:46:22Tell me the truth.
00:46:25With men of Tom's status,
00:46:27it's normal to have a few lovers.
00:46:29As long as he comes home, who cares?
00:46:32You are being selfish, Evelyn.
00:46:34You knew he funded your cousin's movie
00:46:36and she comes home today
00:46:37and you still went through with the divorce.
00:46:39You put the whole family at risk.
00:46:41If he's cheating on you,
00:46:43I'll make sure the Reeds answer for it.
00:46:45Grandpa, I...
00:46:46Everything was fine.
00:46:48Why would you ruin that?
00:46:49Look how upset he is.
00:46:51Grandpa, I...
00:46:52I don't love him anymore.
00:46:55And I'm seeing someone new.
00:46:59I know.
00:47:00Well, she is spending all of our money on a cowboy.
00:47:04Evelyn, explain yourself.
00:47:06Is what she's saying true?
00:47:10This has to be a lie.
00:47:12The reputation of the family is not a game, Evelyn.
00:47:15It's not a lie, Dad.
00:47:16She is dragging our name through the mud.
00:47:21First, her husband cheats.
00:47:23Then, she spends all our money on a cowboy.
00:47:27That's humiliating.
00:47:28All of her so-called success.
00:47:29And what is she now?
00:47:31A divorced woman nobody wants.
00:47:41I apologize for being late, Grandpa.
00:47:44I guess I should introduce myself.
00:47:46I'm Ethan Brooks, Evelyn's boyfriend.
00:47:51Come, come.
00:47:52Take a seat.
00:47:54Mr. Brooks, be Ethan Brooks.
00:47:57Evelyn, why didn't you introduce us to him sooner?
00:48:01The Brooks family is just as prestigious as the Reeds.
00:48:07I'm back!
00:48:11Mr. Brooks, oh my god.
00:48:14It's been so long.
00:48:17I mean, it's really good to see you again.
00:48:20I've been working out of town and I just got back.
00:48:24Wow, I can't believe you came to welcome me too.
00:48:29All right.
00:48:30Seems like Ethan is going to become my cousin's boyfriend now.
00:48:37You must be Evelyn's cousin.
00:48:40What was your name again?
00:48:42You mean you don't remember me?
00:48:45Back in college.
00:48:48Everyone, take a seat.
00:48:50Let's start the dinner.
00:48:58All right, let's make a toast.
00:49:00To family.
00:49:01Cheers!
00:49:04Make yourself at home.
00:49:06I'll be here more often to learn from you, sir.
00:49:08Come by anytime.
00:49:10Here, try this.
00:49:11It's one of my favorite dishes.
00:49:13Of course.
00:49:18What are you doing here?
00:49:19Are you staring at me, sweetheart?
00:49:22Eat something.
00:49:23We have to maintain a healthy diet in case we want to bring in a grandchild.
00:49:31Mr. Brooks, you know, I always admired you back in college.
00:49:40I mean, who wouldn't, right?
00:49:43Yeah, it's really something seeing you here.
00:49:47I hope we get to see more of you in the future.
00:49:49As long as Evelyn's here, I'll be here too.
00:49:51So we'll have plenty of opportunities to see each other in the future.
00:50:02Are you done?
00:50:03Let's go home.
00:50:04Don't call me that.
00:50:05Were you stalking me?
00:50:07Stalking?
00:50:08I just did you a favor.
00:50:10Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:50:11Right.
00:50:12Why don't you take Lillian, my cousin, on a date?
00:50:16You know, I know you liked her in college.
00:50:19I didn't do anything with her.
00:50:21Am I sensing jealousy?
00:50:24Jealousy?
00:50:25From me?
00:50:27So for today, I'll make sure my family keeps quiet.
00:50:30No one needs to know about us.
00:50:31And we can just go back to the way things were.
00:50:36Back to the way things were?
00:50:38What do you mean by that?
00:50:39Our relationship.
00:50:41Go back to the way it was.
00:50:42You know, keeping a distance.
00:50:49Why are you dodging me?
00:50:56Let's head home.
00:51:09Ethan?
00:51:13Ethan, I know you always liked me and
00:51:16I know you always liked me and
00:51:20actually, I feel the same way.
00:51:23Ethan.
00:51:27I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
00:51:29I don't have those feelings for you.
00:51:35Oh, Evelyn.
00:51:37Why are you always overshadowing me?
00:51:41Just wait, you bitch.
00:51:47Oh, youth.
00:51:51I really need to take a day off.
00:51:53Miss Grant, we have a problem.
00:51:55You're in the news.
00:51:56What?
00:51:57What are you talking about?
00:52:01What?
00:52:02What is this nonsense?
00:52:03Who are they calling a cast-off wife?
00:52:06Grant and Reed's alliance ends in failure.
00:52:08Yes, below the Reed's family.
00:52:10Grant Ayers celebrates post-divorce at nightlife venues.
00:52:14The comment section is already blowing up
00:52:16and it looks like they've paid for fake commenters as well.
00:52:25What do you want, Tom?
00:52:26Have you offended anyone recently?
00:52:28Maybe instead of questioning me,
00:52:29you should be asking yourself which one of your mistresses
00:52:32caused all of this mess.
00:52:33Listen, sweetheart.
00:52:37If we get back together,
00:52:38all of this will be dismissed as baseless gossip.
00:52:41I can use all my connections
00:52:43and these articles will just disappear.
00:52:45No need.
00:52:46If it wasn't for this plummeting, our stock,
00:52:49I wouldn't even care.
00:52:50Oh, and ask for remarriage?
00:52:52Forget about it.
00:52:53I don't even know what you want anymore, Evelyn.
00:52:55Haven't you grown tired of this game?
00:52:57I'm not the one playing games, Tom.
00:53:00Stop calling me.
00:53:04The Grant Ayers must be ugly.
00:53:06That's why her husband dumped her.
00:53:07And now she's with a young cowboy.
00:53:09You know what?
00:53:10This is ridiculous
00:53:12because you know what?
00:53:13The Grant Ayers is actually very beautiful,
00:53:15elegant and classy.
00:53:27Miss Grant?
00:53:28You just posted this
00:53:29from your verified personal Twitter account.
00:53:32What?
00:53:35And it's already gone viral.
00:53:36Everybody's talking about it.
00:53:40You've got to be kidding.
00:53:42I swear to God, if it's Tom.
00:53:50Hey, Lillian, what's up?
00:53:52Evelyn, the company stock is plummeting.
00:53:54Why don't you just make up with Tom?
00:53:56Even if it's just for show,
00:53:57attending an event together
00:53:58could help stabilize things.
00:54:00No, no, that's not necessary, okay?
00:54:03I'll handle it.
00:54:06Wait, Evelyn, how about dinner tonight?
00:54:09It's been so long
00:54:10since we've properly talked.
00:54:12Yeah, yeah, I'll see you then.
00:54:22What is he doing here?
00:54:24I think there were some
00:54:25misunderstandings between you two.
00:54:28You've been together for so many years.
00:54:30It would be such a shame
00:54:32to just throw it away like that.
00:54:35Look, honey, I know I messed up,
00:54:40but I'm ready to change,
00:54:42and I promise it'll never happen again.
00:54:45Evelyn, you've loved Tom since college.
00:54:49It would just be so terrible
00:54:51to just end it like that.
00:54:52Come on, just take a seat
00:54:55and talk things through.
00:55:00I'll leave you two alone.
00:55:10I'll leave you two alone.
00:55:31Ethan, looks like Evelyn and Tom
00:55:33are getting back together.
00:55:35Did you know?
00:55:40What do you want, Tom?
00:55:44Can you just give me another chance?
00:55:47I mean, don't you remember
00:55:48what you said to me?
00:55:54Is that even true?
00:55:58Did you always love me?
00:56:01Because if it isn't,
00:56:02we should call off this marriage.
00:56:04Yeah, it's true.
00:56:07I've always loved you.
00:56:09Good, let's get married.
00:56:21I did love you, Tom,
00:56:24but you used up all of the love I gave you.
00:56:28It's over.
00:56:30I have nothing left to say to you.
00:56:38Hello?
00:56:38Miss Grant, you won't believe this.
00:56:40Ethan just retweeted your comment
00:56:42from both his personal and company accounts.
00:56:45He said he's seen you in person
00:56:47and you're not only beautiful,
00:56:48but also kind and perfect.
00:56:51It's all over the internet
00:56:53and it's trending like crazy right now.
00:56:55Wow, that man really knows
00:56:57how to shake things up.
00:56:58You need to get out
00:56:59through the back door right now.
00:57:02The front entrance is swarming with reporters.
00:57:05All of them want to know about you and Ethan.
00:57:07Yeah, got it.
00:57:09Whoa, what happened?
00:57:13I can help.
00:57:14Whatever you need, I'll take care of everything.
00:57:16I don't need anything from you.
00:57:22Quick, quick, boss.
00:57:23Come in, come in.
00:57:38We'll talk about this later.
00:57:47Get in and drive.
00:58:02My place is swarming with reporters usually,
00:58:04so this is one of my more private residences.
00:58:08You'll stay here for now.
00:58:09Yes, Miss Grant, I'll have your things
00:58:11packed and delivered here first thing tomorrow.
00:58:13So you've been working for him all along?
00:58:16Um, I mean...
00:58:19Oh my, what are you doing?
00:58:21Put me down.
00:58:22Put me down this instant.
00:58:23What are you doing?
00:58:24Let's talk in another room.
00:58:26What?
00:58:37Ugh, what are you doing?
00:58:40Have you lost your mind?
00:58:42I touched your ear, didn't I?
00:58:45Your ear, too.
00:58:52Are you jealous?
00:58:54You saw him by yourself, didn't you?
00:58:57I told you I don't want you seeing him again by yourself.
00:59:08Evelyn, what's going on between you and Ethan?
00:59:11Why is he helping you like that?
00:59:16Where are you right now?
00:59:18I'm coming over.
00:59:20It's none of your business.
00:59:34Evelyn?
00:59:35Evelyn?
00:59:38Oh!
00:59:41I thought you left.
00:59:43No, I was just getting some coffee.
00:59:46Are you okay?
00:59:47Yes, I can't lose you again.
00:59:50What do you mean?
00:59:52Nothing, babe.
00:59:53It was a bad dream.
00:59:56Bad dream?
00:59:57Mr. CEO is afraid of bad dreams?
01:00:02Oh, I need something to wear.
01:00:04I have a press conference soon.
01:00:07From my angle, I think you're dressed pretty appropriately for a press conference.
01:00:13I think you should just wear my shirt.
01:00:15And I think the audience will find it more memorable.
01:00:18It's old.
01:00:20You're impossible.
01:00:23How's this?
01:00:24I'll help you on three conditions.
01:00:26Three conditions.
01:00:28All right, let's hear it, Mr. CEO.
01:00:30One, you announce your divorce at the press conference.
01:00:35Two, you publicly acknowledge our relationship.
01:00:41Three, you live with me.
01:00:45Okay, I gotta hand it to you.
01:00:47You really know how to drive a hard bargain.
01:00:50But you're a negotiator.
01:00:53Fine.
01:00:55One and three, I can do.
01:00:59Two, absolutely not.
01:01:04And why is that?
01:01:07Because it will only make things messier.
01:01:10And you know that.
01:01:16I can't win with you, can I?
01:01:18I'm not gonna wait forever, you know.
01:01:21I'll have my assistant bring some clothes over and we'll go to the office together.
01:01:26And maybe I'll have him bring a scarf, too.
01:01:30Oh, for this?
01:01:32This is your fault, you know.
01:01:33My fault?
01:01:34It's your fault.
01:01:36I think it's both of our faults.
01:01:45Hello, everyone.
01:01:46Good afternoon.
01:01:47Thank you so much for coming.
01:01:49We are excited to announce that the Grant Company, alongside Brooks Enterprises,
01:01:54have decided to launch our very first collaborative jewelry line.
01:01:59And it is because of this partnership that we've been able to work so closely
01:02:03the past few months.
01:02:05This event is a pre-launch to the jewelry collection.
01:02:08We would like to thank each and every one of you sincerely for your enthusiasm and attention.
01:02:14I heard that you and Tom Reed are divorced.
01:02:16Is it true or just a rumor?
01:02:18Yeah, is it really true?
01:02:20Are you really divorced?
01:02:21Yes, Mr. Reed and I are divorced.
01:02:45Can you give us more details?
01:02:46How could that happen?
01:02:47Is it true that Mr. Reed cheated on you?
01:02:50Are you two separating now for real?
01:02:51Let's watch it.
01:02:52Let's go.
01:02:52Who left who?
01:02:54We just want more questions.
01:02:55Who was it who left in the first place?
01:02:57Was it because of infidelity?
01:03:04Russ, Russ, I'm sorry.
01:03:05I couldn't stop him.
01:03:06Would I need permission to see my own wife?
01:03:10What do you want?
01:03:15Evelyn, please.
01:03:17I know I've made mistakes.
01:03:20Just give me another chance.
01:03:24Marry me again.
01:03:28Get up.
01:03:29You're embarrassing yourself.
01:03:33Stop.
01:03:36What do you want, Evelyn?
01:03:37Huh?
01:03:38Didn't you promise to love me forever?
01:03:41Evelyn, look at me.
01:03:44Back in college, didn't you always watch me?
01:03:46Didn't you always care?
01:03:50What the hell is this?
01:03:52Who did that to you?
01:03:55What the hell is this?
01:03:56Who did this to you, Evelyn?
01:03:58Huh?
01:03:59None of your business.
01:04:00Get out of my office.
01:04:01Now.
01:04:05Look, we're even now.
01:04:07You've been with someone too, so it's fair, right?
01:04:11I forgive you.
01:04:12You forgive me.
01:04:14Let's just start over, okay?
01:04:17Tom, you need to grow up, okay?
01:04:22I'm not the girl who used to watch you anymore.
01:04:25I have moved on.
01:04:27I have a business meeting to get to, so you should see yourself out.
01:04:47Hey.
01:04:54Greg.
01:04:56It's me.
01:05:00I need to see you.
01:05:04So many years have passed, haven't they?
01:05:08I still remember that day.
01:05:10If it wasn't for you saving her, things could have been so different.
01:05:17It's fortunate she doesn't remember what happened that day.
01:05:23A blessing, really.
01:05:33Hey, Mom.
01:05:34Hey.
01:05:35I'm back.
01:05:36Evelyn, what are you doing here?
01:05:40Why did you come back today?
01:05:42Because I missed you.
01:05:43Because it's the anniversary of Dad.
01:05:48I didn't want you being alone.
01:05:50That's very thoughtful of you.
01:05:52Darling, could you do me a favor and pick up the necklace that your father gave me?
01:05:58It was his promise to me.
01:05:59The shop called to say that it was ready.
01:06:02Yeah, of course.
01:06:04I'll be right back with that.
01:06:11I am back.
01:06:15Mom?
01:06:17Mom?
01:06:43That day was the anniversary of your father's death.
01:06:47None of us expected her mother to follow you that soon.
01:06:57Maybe if I would have stayed longer.
01:06:58If I didn't buy those roses, maybe she would still be alive.
01:07:12It's okay.
01:07:13I got you.
01:07:17It's thanks to you that she's still here today.
01:07:28If it weren't for you that day, she lost her memory.
01:07:33And we decided to tell her that her mom had passed away from illness.
01:07:38She's been so fragile ever since that she can't look at red flowers anymore.
01:07:43I just couldn't handle the shock.
01:07:49I'm really grateful for that you've kept this secret all this time.
01:07:53And that you've taken such good care of her.
01:07:59Grandfather, please help me.
01:08:05I need to get her back.
01:08:08I know I messed up in the past, but this time I'll do things right.
01:08:13Let it go, son.
01:08:22I respect Evelyn's choices.
01:08:25I hope that both of you find your own way and are happy.
01:08:29I understand, grandfather.
01:08:44Mr. Reed, would you like to know who Evelyn's boyfriend is?
01:08:51Who is it?
01:08:56Ethan Brooks?
01:08:58Yes, Mr. Reed.
01:09:00Looks like your best friend has been keeping a big secret.
01:09:08Perhaps, Mr. Reed, it's time we work together.
01:09:12We both want the same thing, don't we?
01:09:22Shut up, bitch.
01:09:28You slept with my wife?
01:09:31You and Evelyn are divorced, Tom.
01:09:33I'm the only man in her life now.
01:09:35I'll be the father of her child.
01:09:37All you had was a business deal.
01:09:39A fake marriage.
01:09:41You really think you're out of chance?
01:09:43You are a goddamn hypocrite.
01:09:45You actually think she loves you?
01:09:47She's never gonna love you.
01:09:48Only me.
01:09:50Always me.
01:09:52If you didn't get divorced, you wouldn't have a chance in hell.
01:09:55Think back, Tom.
01:09:56Do you even understand why you were together?
01:10:00Do you?
01:10:02Think back.
01:10:03Think about it, Tom.
01:10:06You know why.
01:10:08You know exactly why.
01:10:11Hey, can I get your suit jacket?
01:10:17I got a presentation later.
01:10:29Excuse me.
01:10:31Can I talk to you for a second?
01:10:33Absolutely.
01:10:41She was never supposed to belong to you, Tom.
01:10:49Now things can go back to the way they should be.
01:10:54Why so angry?
01:10:57Take anything from me, Ethan.
01:11:00Anything.
01:11:02I don't even want you looking at me.
01:11:06I only want her.
01:11:09That's it.
01:11:12Now get the fuck out.
01:11:27I just wanted to say thank you for saving me that day.
01:11:31I don't remember much, but I do remember your lapel pin.
01:11:36Oh, that.
01:11:38Yeah, no.
01:11:39No need to thank me.
01:11:41There was nothing.
01:11:48From the beginning, from the very beginning, the only thing I wanted was him, wasn't it?
01:11:58Did you ever even love me?
01:12:12Hello?
01:12:12It's your boyfriend.
01:12:14I'm here to pick you up.
01:12:15I know you're scared of thunderstorms.
01:12:18Come down, okay?
01:12:20Okay, yeah.
01:12:21I'll be right there.
01:12:32Don't be afraid.
01:12:33I'm here.
01:12:36I'm fine, thanks.
01:12:38Can I walk you out, at least?
01:12:41Yeah.
01:12:49Well, well, well.
01:12:51Isn't this something?
01:12:52The heir to the great brook's fortune who lives just sneaking around being someone's
01:12:56secret lover.
01:12:58A near intruder on another man's marriage.
01:13:02You're cold.
01:13:02Let's go home.
01:13:04Evelyn!
01:13:06Don't go.
01:13:11So
01:13:39I'm in.
01:13:41I agree with your proposal.
01:13:46What do you want, Tom?
01:13:48Oh, just relax. Be patient with me.
01:13:51Okay. If you're not gonna talk, I'm just gonna leave.
01:13:55Aren't you curious as to the kind of man you're with?
01:13:58You think he's a good person?
01:14:00Your assistant, Daniel.
01:14:05He's basically Ethan's spy.
01:14:08Uh, yeah. I knew that already.
01:14:10So?
01:14:11Oh, yeah? Well, uh...
01:14:13What about this woman?
01:14:20She took money from Ethan to deliberately lure me in.
01:14:24It's all part of his plan.
01:14:27Uh, yeah. Yeah, that's about right.
01:14:29That's exactly his style.
01:14:32Evelyn, he's playing you.
01:14:34Why can't you see that?
01:14:36He's manipulated everything.
01:14:39I don't care, Tom.
01:14:42I love him, and I'm going to marry him,
01:14:44and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
01:14:46Okay?
01:14:50Do you really know what kind of person he is?
01:14:58You and I were both his trophies.
01:15:03What do you mean by that?
01:15:05Ethan.
01:15:07He's like a spoiled child.
01:15:10Proud.
01:15:12Stubborn.
01:15:14Always needing to prove himself.
01:15:17He grew up alongside Tom.
01:15:20Always being compared.
01:15:22Always second to him.
01:15:26That's the one thing he can't stand.
01:15:30The fact that Tom was always the more popular one.
01:15:35The one people admired.
01:15:38So, whatever Tom has, Ethan has to get.
01:15:45Including you.
01:15:48You don't have any proof.
01:15:51I'm the proof.
01:15:57When we first entered university,
01:16:00Tom was the one that first pursued me.
01:16:04And then, once Ethan found out,
01:16:07well, he came chasing after me too.
01:16:11You knew this.
01:16:13It's all just a game to him.
01:16:16And now, the game has passed on to you.
01:16:24He'll always want what Tom has.
01:16:29It's just the way he is.
01:16:31Excuse me, I have to use the restroom.
01:16:44Do you think we're pushing it too hard?
01:16:47I don't want our PTSD to flare up again like it used to.
01:16:50Don't worry.
01:16:52This is the only way our plan will work, okay?
01:16:55You'll get Evelyn back,
01:16:57and Ethan, well,
01:16:59he's always meant to be mine.
01:17:03He'll always want what Tom has.
01:17:05It's just the way he is.
01:17:08Evelyn!
01:17:10Don't go.
01:17:24Evelyn!
01:17:26Wake up, please. Come on. Can you hear me?
01:17:29Evelyn!
01:17:36Evelyn.
01:17:38Evelyn.
01:17:41What did you do to her? Why is she unconscious?
01:17:43You're asking me. Why don't you ask yourself?
01:17:48She knows, Ethan. She knows everything.
01:17:50What do you mean, everything?
01:17:52Well, she knows you paid Daniel off.
01:17:55She knows you paid Melissa to tempt me.
01:17:59I mean, what do you think's gonna happen if you go in there right now?
01:18:01Her emotions will spiral,
01:18:03and her condition will get worse.
01:18:06I think the best thing for everyone
01:18:08is for you to stay away.
01:18:12No, I can't. I have to talk to her.
01:18:14Once I explain this to her, she'll understand.
01:18:19Evelyn! No, no, no. Get away from me.
01:18:21Get away from me! Leave me alone!
01:18:23Help!
01:18:26Evelyn, it's okay.
01:18:28Please, just breathe.
01:18:30I don't want to see you. Get out. Leave.
01:18:32Just let me explain to you.
01:18:34I said, get out!
01:18:36I want to explain this to you!
01:18:38I don't want you here! Get out!
01:18:40Leave!
01:18:45It's okay.
01:18:47It's okay.
01:18:58It's okay.
01:19:11Boss, I...
01:19:13I brought back everything you had at E.C.'s place.
01:19:16Just leave them there.
01:19:24Miss Grant, I...
01:19:27I know you probably won't forgive me,
01:19:29but I just wanted to say...
01:19:32I never did this for the money.
01:19:34I really believe he cares about you.
01:19:36Enough!
01:19:38Understood.
01:19:42I'll finish my work by next week,
01:19:44and I'll hand in my resignation.
01:19:50Goodbye, Miss Grant.
01:19:57December 24, 2018
01:20:19December 24, 2018
01:20:21I wanted to invite you to spend Christmas together,
01:20:23but you already made plans with Tom.
01:20:25But you look beautiful today,
01:20:27and seeing you made me happy, too.
01:20:29January 1, 2019
01:20:31The food cart at the gate
01:20:33was going to be moved due to bad business.
01:20:35I knew you loved it,
01:20:37so I paid them to stay longer.
01:20:39Just wanted to keep your favorite things close,
01:20:41even if it was in small ways.
01:20:43February 14, 2019
01:20:47Your attention was always on Tom.
01:20:49I just wished one day,
01:20:51or just one second,
01:20:53you'd see me, too.
01:21:03All this time,
01:21:05you've been by my side.
01:21:15Hi, Daniel.
01:21:19So, you said you weren't helping him
01:21:22for the money.
01:21:24What was it all for, Daniel?
01:21:26Miss Grant,
01:21:28I've been by your side since you graduated.
01:21:30I've watched your work so hard.
01:21:32I've seen your marriage with Mr. Reid.
01:21:36I know you weren't happy,
01:21:38not really.
01:21:40Of course, when Mr. Brooks first approached me,
01:21:42I was wary.
01:21:44I didn't know.
01:21:46But over the years,
01:21:48I've seen everything he did for you.
01:21:50The length he went to
01:21:52for your happiness.
01:21:54He's protected you in ways
01:21:56you didn't even know about.
01:21:58I mean,
01:22:00the flowers waiting by your doorstep
01:22:02every time you came home.
01:22:04He picked them himself.
01:22:06Your projects,
01:22:08the business ventures
01:22:10that always seemed to go off without a hitch.
01:22:12He was always there.
01:22:14Supporting you
01:22:16behind the scenes,
01:22:19when you needed it.
01:22:21And he didn't want any recognition
01:22:23for it either.
01:22:25When you decided to divorce
01:22:27and you needed a
01:22:29call boy,
01:22:31who else?
01:22:33I have to find Ethan.
01:22:35I need to ask him
01:22:37about everything.
01:22:43Emily,
01:22:45I just want to start over.
01:22:47We can fix this.
01:22:49Can we at least just talk about it?
01:22:51No, Tom, I can't. I'm sorry.
01:22:53I have to find Ethan, okay?
01:22:55I need answers.
01:22:57And all these years together, huh? Our history?
01:22:59Does that really mean nothing to you?
01:23:01I mean, you're really just gonna throw it away after two months with this guy?
01:23:05You know, he has been there for me too,
01:23:07Tom.
01:23:09In so many ways that I didn't even know.
01:23:11And what about us, huh?
01:23:13Everything we had?
01:23:15All of our memories together? Does that actually mean nothing to you?
01:23:17I was the one that saved you!
01:23:19Don't you remember that?
01:23:25Emily!
01:23:35What the hell are you doing here?
01:23:39What the hell did you tell her, Tom?
01:23:41That's what you do to me and my wife! It's none of your goddamn business!
01:23:44Do you realize what you've done?
01:23:46She has post-traumatic stress disorder, Tom.
01:23:48That means she's six times more likely to self-harm.
01:23:50She's handled it beautifully,
01:23:52and now all of a sudden,
01:23:54she relapses?
01:23:56You have no idea what she's been through,
01:23:58how hard this has been for her.
01:24:00I didn't tell her the truth because I was trying to protect her.
01:24:02I didn't want to hurt her even more.
01:24:04This isn't a game.
01:24:06And it's certainly not a fucking bargaining chip for you to manipulate her.
01:24:10You know exactly who she should have been with this whole time.
01:24:12Oh, yeah?
01:24:14So what are you going to do, huh?
01:24:16You're going to tell her that she's been with the wrong man all these years?
01:24:18What do you think that's going to do?
01:24:20She made a mistake from the start?
01:24:22It's just going to make her feel worse.
01:24:30So it was you that day.
01:24:33All these years,
01:24:35I loved the wrong person,
01:24:37and I married the wrong man,
01:24:39and you just stood by
01:24:41and watched me fall deeper into that mistake.
01:24:45I never wanted to hurt you.
01:24:47I've always cared about your happiness.
01:24:49You can't decide that for me.
01:24:51I thought I missed you.
01:24:53That you were using me.
01:24:55That you manipulated everything.
01:24:57Who said that?
01:24:59Lillian.
01:25:01She said you hated Tom.
01:25:03Hated him.
01:25:05Hated you.
01:25:07Hated me.
01:25:09Hated you.
01:25:11Hated me.
01:25:13Hated me.
01:25:15Hated me.
01:25:17Hated me.
01:25:19You hated Tom.
01:25:21You wanted to take everything from him.
01:25:23Including me.
01:25:25She lied to you.
01:25:27I think she'll pay for that.
01:25:29No, I know everything.
01:25:31I know everything you've done for me.
01:25:33And I know that you've always just been there for me.
01:25:35Quietly.
01:25:37Protecting me.
01:25:39I love you so much.
01:25:41I would do anything for you.
01:25:49I love you.
01:25:59I love you.
01:26:01I love you too.
01:26:15Ethan, stop.
01:26:18We're married now.
01:26:20I've already handed over all my stocks and bonds.
01:26:24You can't just abandon me.
01:26:26Oh, well, that depends on your behavior.
01:26:28If you behave well,
01:26:30maybe I'll take care of you.
01:26:32You'll take care of me?
01:26:34Uh-huh.
01:26:36Will you do that?
01:26:38It depends on you.
01:26:48I'm gonna shower first.
01:26:50Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:26:52How about we shower together?
01:26:54Oh, my God.
01:26:56Yes.
01:26:58Oh, my...
