Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shortening attempt.
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:31We've met before.
00:01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:10Mr. Yates!
00:02:12What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:21Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house, for my sake.
00:03:05Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepard Group.
00:03:28And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty? A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:32You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:36Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign.
00:04:47Ha!
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben?
00:04:54Alright. Here, a hundred thousand dollars. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:05:00A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:02I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:15This is our active charity tool.
00:05:17Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:36Cleaning lady. Threatening us?
00:05:39I'm so scared.
00:05:41Just leave. We already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to written store.
00:05:57Sir?
00:05:59Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's been Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to part with him.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:16Don't you remember?
00:06:18She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah. She saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:34Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:35Hey!
00:06:36What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:46You're stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:49We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:04Hey!
00:07:05That's enough!
00:07:07Laura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:21Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:07:23Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:37Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:56Hey, what are you doing?
00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:03Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:08It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:11All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her!
00:08:19Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. I'll go back.
00:08:23What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:26That's a lie! Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:31Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:36Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that... Ben underestimated me.
00:08:46I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:49After how they treated you. Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:53No! Um... No, the event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:08You'll find out.
00:09:10Mr. Shepard.
00:09:12Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:41Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben Harrison.
00:09:47You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:52After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:10Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:15Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for. You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:41You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:09Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:45You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:51Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:58I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration,
00:12:04I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:16Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:39There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:44This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:48Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:12:57You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair?
00:13:00She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:06Don't touch me!
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be ar-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:17Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:32What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group?
00:13:39The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's...
00:13:54It's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:00Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:01It's a lie.
00:14:02This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special.
00:14:08She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:16First time I met her, she was in need of waiters at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her.
00:14:29Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:44Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:01Oops.
00:15:02That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:09Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating.
00:15:14I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:34Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:39You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:45You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:47Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:54I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:03I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A janitor.
00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:33This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I... but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:45But I don't recognize you.
00:16:47Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:51Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:54This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:58But the contract?
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:06Reprinted, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider you partnering with your company.
00:17:16Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:31Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:33You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:39Lewis Family Group?
00:17:40This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:45Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:50Three of our Vice Presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:18:15The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:31Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:37It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:43Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:57What?
00:18:58What now?
00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:03Not on you.
00:19:04I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:08Flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:11And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:21I got Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora.
00:19:26She's a liar.
00:19:28Stop it, Amber.
00:19:29You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:33You're on my side.
00:19:35And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:46Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:19:49I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:51Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:56Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:02It's alright, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:09Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't...
00:20:11Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:14Um...
00:20:15Excuse me.
00:20:16You can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura.
00:20:18Actually, Laura.
00:20:19There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are...
00:20:28Are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please.
00:20:31Call me Brian.
00:20:33And...
00:20:34Yes.
00:20:35Technically, you're single now.
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:39That may be true, but...
00:20:41Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly...
00:20:46Proper.
00:20:49Proper?
00:20:50Laura.
00:20:51I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:19Laura?
00:21:20Laura?
00:21:21Who is it?
00:21:22Laura, wait!
00:21:23Jason.
00:21:24Find out who owns that car.
00:21:25And do it fast.
00:21:26Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:27It's Amber Smith.
00:21:28Mr. Lewis?
00:21:29I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:32I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:33How did you get this number?
00:21:35Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:36I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:38Someone I know very well.
00:21:39Impersonating my niece?
00:21:40I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:41How did you get this number?
00:21:42Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:43I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:44Someone I know very well.
00:21:45Impersonating my niece?
00:21:46And where is this fake Laura?
00:21:47Right here in Maplewood.
00:21:48Hello.
00:21:49And let me tell you.
00:21:50She's causing the damage.
00:21:51Please take my petitγ‘al to Kong.
00:21:52Great call sir.
00:21:53She'll see you last month.
00:21:54She was talking to us, Rachel.
00:21:55I'm sorry.
00:21:56I am sorry for the late call.
00:21:57I am sorry for the late call but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:58I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:59How did you get this number?
00:22:00Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone I know very well.
00:22:06Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:13Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:26In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:31I want to meet with the vice presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:44It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:47Thank you, Mr.
00:22:53That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:59That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
00:23:07Oh. The Lewis family? That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:18Brian! There you are. I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:24What are you up to?
00:23:26Chloe. What are you doing here?
00:23:28What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:31We ended things for a reason.
00:23:33It was just one teensy mistake. I was... I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:40It's a mistake you said. You cheated on me.
00:23:48Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:55Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:27Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:33This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor. Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:48Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise. Did Brian do you already?
00:24:55That's none of your business. Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?
00:25:08If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:12Oh, the nerve. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:18Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:24Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:38And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.
00:25:44Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap! Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:03Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:10Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:18Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself. And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:47This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself. It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:58She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:06Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See? She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one. Lead me to the Vice Presidents.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:33Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Ma'am, please remove me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:54Hold on!
00:27:55Brian Shepard?
00:27:58You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out? After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:16How long has this little affair been going on? You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second. An affair? You think Laura and I? You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:50It seems there's a misunderstanding. These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner? Nonsense. I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly. Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop. She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:41You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:50Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me. Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this. She's right.
00:30:00That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:29Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:36Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Evers.
00:30:41I think so, uh, what do you think we don't have a secret? Come in.
00:30:50Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:31:00Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:10Ian Lew- Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:19Expansion plans.
00:31:20Oh! Expansion plans? Ms. Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that-
00:31:34Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local-
00:31:43Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:48Hey, stop there. These elevators are VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:58Of course. My apologies.
00:32:05Laura?
00:32:10Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:13Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:30Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:37We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:49Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:53She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:15Shepard Group.
00:33:17Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:38Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:55No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:34:01Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:05What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:08Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group, Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:17Of course. Laura!
00:34:20She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her, Cathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:30No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:42Look who can't even get into a meeting,
00:34:44whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:53Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group,
00:35:09appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:13New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:18Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:21You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:26I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:41You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:47And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:52Escort them out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Their visit is over.
00:35:55Oh, come on.
00:35:56This way.
00:35:57Please.
00:35:58I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Come on.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:03Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:04We're not going.
00:36:05Now.
00:36:06Okay, come on, come on.
00:36:07This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:08You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks for waiting on me.
00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:17And thank you for defending me.
00:36:21I really appreciate it.
00:36:26Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:35Why?
00:36:36I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:42Yes, Laura.
00:36:45There's something you should know.
00:36:48Is this about Ben?
00:36:51Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even get past security.
00:36:57Laura.
00:36:58It's not Ben.
00:37:00It's someone else.
00:37:04Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:06Yes.
00:37:07Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:16She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:19And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:24And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:31And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:36And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:44For...
00:37:48Out of...
00:37:49Jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well...
00:37:57All the more reason for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides...
00:38:02I'll be there too.
00:38:06Laura...
00:38:09Would you consider being, I guess, at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:14Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:16Maybe a little.
00:38:18But, mostly...
00:38:20I want to show them we're team.
00:38:22Well...
00:38:23It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:28Laura...
00:38:33I don't care about your best.
00:38:35I just want to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:43Ryan...
00:38:44I...
00:38:49I...
00:38:50I appreciate...
00:38:51Your honesty.
00:38:52And...
00:38:53Right now...
00:38:54I...
00:38:55I'm just not...
00:38:56I...
00:38:57I just don't really have romance...
00:38:58On my mind...
00:38:59Right now.
00:39:00Just...
00:39:01With...
00:39:02With everything going on...
00:39:03And...
00:39:04Going on and...
00:39:05It's okay.
00:39:06I just want to be upfront.
00:39:09And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:11You won't face her alone.
00:39:12You're alone.
00:39:16There's just...
00:39:17One thing...
00:39:18I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:23Uh...
00:39:24Security!
00:39:25She doesn't belong here.
00:39:26This is a private store.
00:39:27Excuse me.

00:39:29Need some assistance.

00:39:38She can't afford anything here.
00:39:39She's just a cleaner.
00:39:40She doesn't deserve to shop you.

00:54:14miss duke like that that's enough you don't get to talk here you got mad shepherd you dare to go
00:54:20against miss duke and the same applies to everyone else here anyone who insults laura

01:08:33ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager in a few days he promised that he would let us meet
01:08:38with a new heir you're right if we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the shepherds

01:09:04finally a pleasure to meet you we've looked into your uh company's financial review very impressive
