Falling for the Billionaire CEO | Full Movie Billionaire, Short Drama
Transcript
00:00:00Working under this much stress for a huge company.
00:00:05It's all for you, Mom.
00:00:07Are you nervous about your first day?
00:00:10A little bit, but thank you for getting me the job.
00:00:14Of course.
00:00:15It's been crazy.
00:00:16The CEO, Sebastian Armstrong, is working on a huge merger.
00:00:20He could be a two-time billionaire by the end of this deal.
00:00:23But isn't he already the richest man in the world?
00:00:25The youngest richest man in the world.
00:00:30I wonder if he remembers me from college.
00:00:45You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of late nights,
00:00:48and you're going to make enemies on your way to the top.
00:01:00The perfume was intoxicating.
00:01:08Sorry, um, what was I saying?
00:01:10Oh my god, what is that wretched smell?
00:01:16Oh, maybe that's my perfume.
00:01:18That's it.
00:01:19It's god-awful.
00:01:21Flurries go downstairs, sweetie.
00:01:23Uh, actually, I am Mr. Armstrong's new receptionist.
00:01:26Mmm.
00:01:27I used to have that job.
00:01:28Back then, they used to hire class.
00:01:30I guess now they're willing to hire anyone off the street.
00:01:32Sorry to spit the truth, bitch.
00:01:34But you lost a minute here.
00:01:43Oops.
00:01:44You should probably clean that up.
00:01:45Or I'll just tell them that you did it.
00:01:51Okay, uh, my job is to answer phone calls
00:01:54and keep Mr. Sebastian's schedule.
00:01:57It's good health insurance.
00:01:59It'll pay for my mom's medical bills.
00:02:03Get out of my way, loser.
00:02:08My shirt!
00:02:10I told you, wouldn't last a day here.
00:02:17Who is that?
00:02:19That is Sebastian's wife.
00:02:22His wife?
00:02:26Be careful around her.
00:02:27She's a viper.
00:02:28Everyone knows she's only with him for his money.
00:02:31Sebastian Armstrong.
00:02:33We're going out tonight.
00:02:39Ruby, I have already told you that I want a divorce.
00:02:42And you need to sign these papers.
00:02:45Hmm.
00:02:52Honey, we're so good together.
00:02:58Our love burns white hot.
00:03:01Remember when we used to make love in the office executive shower?
00:03:04Mm.
00:03:05Ruby, we are over.
00:03:08Because you have made it abundantly clear
00:03:11that all you've ever been after is my money.
00:03:13Especially after I caught you stealing.
00:03:15Now, I have a business meeting today with Robert Sanchez,
00:03:18and it is the largest business deal that I have ever had.
00:03:21Mm.
00:03:22Well, nobody denies Ruby Cromwell.
00:03:24Get up.
00:03:25You need to get out.
00:03:26Okay?
00:03:27I'm all sweaty for my workout.
00:03:28I need to take a shower, so go.
00:03:29Why don't I join?
00:03:30I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:03:34You need to go.
00:03:35Now.
00:03:36Fine.
00:03:37Hey, thrift shop girl.
00:03:39Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:03:40I'm sorry.
00:03:41You need to get out.
00:03:42Okay?
00:03:43I'm all sweaty for my workout.
00:03:44I need to take a shower, so go.
00:03:45Well, why don't I join?
00:03:46I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:03:48You need to go.
00:03:50Now.
00:03:52Fine.
00:03:53Fine.
00:03:55Fine.
00:03:56Fine.
00:03:58Fine.
00:03:59Mr. Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:04:01Head to the door that says executive.
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:05Of course, man.
00:04:11Ruby, I thought I told you to.
00:04:13I am so sorry.
00:04:25I'm so sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:04:27Armstrong.
00:04:28Mr. Armstrong.
00:04:29It's okay.
00:04:31Don't worry about it.
00:04:43I can't believe I just saw Mrs. Sebastian's arm strong.
00:04:49I'm so embarrassed.
00:04:55Who am I fooling?
00:04:57I don't belong here.
00:04:59I'm eating a panini I made with a panini maker from a thrift store.
00:05:10The terms of this merger are favorable to both sides.
00:05:14Which means we're not even close to getting a deal done.
00:05:16Where should I set these down?
00:05:18I don't care. Anywhere.
00:05:25Oh, my God.
00:05:27I am so sorry.
00:05:29Get out of here.
00:05:30Your fire clear out your desk.
00:05:33You can't talk to your employee like that.
00:05:36I don't tell you how to run your company.
00:05:38She could sue you for wrongful termination.
00:05:41We can't do a merger with a company like that.
00:05:44Come to your senses.
00:05:45Uh, I'm sorry.
00:05:48Have we met before?
00:05:49Not funny.
00:05:50Look, why don't we start over?
00:05:52I'm Sebastian Armstrong.
00:05:53Would you like a job at my multi-billion dollar company?
00:05:56I don't think so.
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Oh, well, I don't want to work for a boss that's an asshole.
00:06:03He doesn't even know how to apologize.
00:06:05Oh, no one's ever talked to me that way.
00:06:10That takes guts.
00:06:12And I like that.
00:06:14We need people like you at this company that stand up for themselves.
00:06:18Well, I'm sorry if I'm overly honest.
00:06:21I'm just tired of eating my grilled cheese panini in the bathroom.
00:06:26Wow, I haven't laughed like that in a long time.
00:06:29I needed that.
00:06:30I'm sorry that I snapped like that in the office.
00:06:33This merger's just been beyond stressful.
00:06:37Will you accept my humblest apologies?
00:06:44Of course.
00:06:45And I'm sorry for selling coffee on your very expensive shirt.
00:06:55Looks like we're both in need of some new digs.
00:06:58Tell you what, why don't you go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself a new outfit?
00:07:03I can't afford Latour Boutique.
00:07:06You can with this.
00:07:08No, I can't take that.
00:07:12I insist.
00:07:13Go down, get yourself a new outfit.
00:07:15And come back tomorrow ready to work.
00:07:27Anyway, that was just the worst date.
00:07:30Did you know?
00:07:32When I was in college, Sebastian came to my school and gave a young entrepreneur lecture.
00:07:40Mm-hmm.
00:07:41Oh, he was so charming.
00:07:43And knowledgeable.
00:07:46Uh-oh.
00:07:47Uh-oh?
00:07:48Yeah, I think you might be in love.
00:07:52Whatever.
00:07:55Seriously, you should ride his baloney pony.
00:07:58Might land you that big promotion.
00:08:00I am not the ruthless type.
00:08:03Plus, I don't think he'd be into it.
00:08:04Man at his level is always into that.
00:08:07I think he's different.
00:08:09Men are all the same.
00:08:10Oh, coming from someone who swipes right on everyone.
00:08:14Mm-hmm.
00:08:14All right, all right.
00:08:15Hello?
00:08:20Hello?
00:08:23What do you mean?
00:08:26Okay.
00:08:28I'll be there.
00:08:31Everything okay?
00:08:33No.
00:08:33My mom has cancer.
00:08:36I'm so sorry.
00:08:38She's doing better and has one treatment to go, but it is expensive.
00:08:46That's why I really need to keep this job.
00:08:50Of course.
00:08:58Hi!
00:08:58How dare you serve me with divorce papers in public?
00:09:01You embarrass me in front of all the ladies at the salon.
00:09:05Oh, God.
00:09:06I thought we were going to work this out.
00:09:08We're not going to work this out.
00:09:10Just sign the papers.
00:09:11No!
00:09:12I want to go over every single line of this.
00:09:15My mother gave us that chandelier in the rumpus room.
00:09:17It's mine.
00:09:18That's fine.
00:09:19What else?
00:09:21There's a lot else.
00:09:23God.
00:09:26Vanessa, can you please move my 12 o'clock appointment to the end of the day?
00:09:29And also, can you bring us some lunch?
00:09:32Yes, Sebastian.
00:09:33I mean, Mr. Sebastian.
00:09:35I mean, Mr. Armstrong.
00:09:36Getting real chummy with the help.
00:09:45She works for me.
00:09:46Oh, does she?
00:09:48Remember when these used to work for you?
00:09:51Can we just keep this professional, please?
00:09:56I used to be your receptionist.
00:09:57Don't think this too-bitch whore can come in and replace me.
00:10:00I'm class elegant.
00:10:01She's homeless shelter.
00:10:03Here you are, sir.
00:10:04Thank you, Vanessa.
00:10:09Thank you, receptionist girl.
00:10:10That'll be all.
00:10:11Oopsies.
00:10:16Can you get that?
00:10:18Sure.
00:10:19Hmm.
00:10:19Oh, my gosh.
00:10:31I'm sorry.
00:10:32I'm such a klutz.
00:10:37Sit down.
00:10:39We are going to go over every single end of this.
00:10:41And you know what?
00:10:42We're actually going to add some clauses there.
00:10:44I'd like a house in the Hamptons.
00:10:45I want a new cappuccino machine.
00:10:47I want a cashmere sweater.
00:10:48We are going in on this.
00:10:50Or I'm not signing.
00:10:52Okay?
00:10:53Have her bring a new plate in.
00:10:59Hey.
00:11:00I'm sorry, you go.
00:11:02I just wanted to apologize for Ruby's clumsiness.
00:11:07You know, divorces can be hard.
00:11:09I needed to get the strike cleaned anyway.
00:11:11Oh, you should put that on the company account.
00:11:14And I want to let you know that you're doing a really good job here.
00:11:17Thank you, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:18Yeah, of course.
00:11:23I think I know where I know you from.
00:11:26You do?
00:11:27Yes, Va Tech.
00:11:28I gave a lecture there a couple years ago.
00:11:30I can't believe you remember that.
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:33Chantel perfume number five.
00:11:35Is that it?
00:11:37You know, I thought about finding you after that lecture
00:11:39and going to the dorms and banging on some doors?
00:11:43Well, I wish you did.
00:11:44Mm-hmm.
00:11:45But it might have been frowned upon.
00:11:48Being a lecturer.
00:11:50Maybe some sort of power imbalance.
00:11:53Yeah, I don't think the university would have appreciated
00:11:56me taking advantage of my position.
00:12:00Interesting.
00:12:00I always thought you took risks.
00:12:08Hey, boss.
00:12:09Congrats on the merger.
00:12:11Yeah, I couldn't have done it with everybody in this room,
00:12:14but it's not over yet.
00:12:16But we'll get there soon.
00:12:188 p.m. tonight.
00:12:32He wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city?
00:12:385 p.m.
00:12:417 p.m.
00:12:498 p.m.
00:12:528 p.m.
00:12:529 p.m.
00:12:539 p.m.
00:12:558 p.m.
00:12:5710 p.m.
00:12:5911 p.m.
00:12:5910 p.m.
00:13:0111 p.m.
00:13:0310 p.m.
00:13:04Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:32How did you know my size?
00:13:34My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:13:36I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:13:44This room must have cost a fortune.
00:13:46Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:13:55I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:00You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:02No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:06I'm not going to use from.
00:14:07I'm not going to use from.
00:14:09I'm not going to use from the house.
00:14:11I'm not going to use from the house.
00:14:13No one has ever said in a spot.
00:14:18Okay.
00:15:49Oh gosh, this has been such a whirlwind.
00:15:54I am falling so hard.
00:15:57Just be careful, honey.
00:15:58I know.
00:16:02I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:05I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:07All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:09They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:11You're the only person I've told.
00:16:14We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:16The last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:19It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:21How is Teresa doing?
00:16:22Better.
00:16:23They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:26That's great news.
00:16:27I really need to keep this job.
00:16:36Are you just going to stand there?
00:16:38We're going to get to work.
00:16:39Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:16:41We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:16:44Of course I know what I'm doing with you.
00:17:03Are you just firing on me?
00:17:07Not me.
00:17:09But somebody is.
00:17:10Those came across my desk earlier today.
00:17:14And I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:18I'm not a married man.
00:17:20I can date somebody.
00:17:21Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:23She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:25Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:28The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:17:34They like stability.
00:17:35Especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:17:38Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:17:43I don't think that exists.
00:17:46I got news for you, pal.
00:17:48It does.
00:17:4935 years.
00:17:50I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:00But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:08We are playing with fire, but I care about him so much.
00:18:11I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:13Well, well, well.
00:18:24What do we have here?
00:18:27Excuse me?
00:18:28I'm Lombardi.
00:18:29Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:31Hi.
00:18:32I'm Vanessa.
00:18:33Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:35We have so much in common.
00:18:36I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:18:38I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:18:40But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Happy hour.
00:18:47Teenies only.
00:18:49Teenies?
00:18:50Martinies.
00:18:51Teenies to bikinis.
00:18:53Oh.
00:18:55That's funny.
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57What'd you say we get out of this wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:03Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:09Uh.
00:19:12We need to talk.
00:19:15Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:18Oh, okay.
00:19:18I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:22Ex-wife.
00:19:24What do you need?
00:19:24What's the problem?
00:19:26I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:29How can you be unhappy?
00:19:30It's fair.
00:19:31I paid you more than half.
00:19:32Because I still want you.
00:19:36No baby voice, Ruby.
00:19:38Okay, we're through.
00:19:40Fine.
00:19:41Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:19:43But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:19:45The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:19:48What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:19:50You are entitled to none of that.
00:19:52We'll see about that.
00:19:55You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:19:57You wouldn't dare.
00:20:02You need to go.
00:20:04Come on.
00:20:05Out the door.
00:20:05Out the door.
00:20:14Hey there.
00:20:15Hey, sorry.
00:20:16I'm wiped.
00:20:18I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:22It's none of my business.
00:20:23It's over between her and I.
00:20:25She does not think so.
00:20:29So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:32I'm not really hungry.
00:20:36You sure about that?
00:20:37I don't think it's a good idea.
00:20:42Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:20:45We can just keep it simple.
00:20:47Have some good food.
00:20:48Take our mind off things.
00:20:50No pressure.
00:20:51He's right.
00:20:52We're both under a lot of stress.
00:20:53But I can't put my stress on him.
00:20:56So, dinner?
00:20:57Keep it simple.
00:20:58Keep it simple.
00:20:59Keep it simple.
00:20:59This is simple.
00:21:13You're worth it.
00:21:17I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:23You too.
00:21:24I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:27I'm worried about us.
00:21:28Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:30All eyes are on you.
00:21:32With this and your divorce, don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:21:37Unfit for what?
00:21:38The merger is just money.
00:21:40And I have money.
00:21:41But I don't have love.
00:21:45And I want to be with you.
00:21:49I don't know.
00:21:52Why are you so hesitant?
00:21:54I don't know if I can tell him.
00:21:58What's going on?
00:22:00My mom is...
00:22:03Cancer.
00:22:04She has cancer.
00:22:06And I just need to focus on work right now because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:10You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:12No, Sebastian.
00:22:13That's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:15I don't want your charity.
00:22:16My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:18Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:25She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:27I admire you.
00:22:28I don't need to be admired.
00:22:30I need to be understood.
00:22:33Understood.
00:22:34I think we should slow down a little.
00:22:39What are you talking about?
00:22:41Maybe just be friends.
00:22:44I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:22:47I don't think I can be anything more.
00:22:48I see you.
00:23:03What?
00:23:05I see you.
00:23:06You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:08I am just trying to work here.
00:23:10I don't need any distractions.
00:23:12Let me guess.
00:23:13Your job's a joke.
00:23:14You're broke.
00:23:15Your love life's DOA.
00:23:16It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:20It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:28No.
00:23:31Babe, come on.
00:23:35Release the attention.
00:23:41Maybe this is for the better.
00:23:43I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:23:45This is the only way.
00:23:47Uh, yeah.
00:23:50That's the spot.
00:23:51That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:03Oh.
00:24:04Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:06Hey, Sebastian.
00:24:07Don't worry.
00:24:08We're off the clock.
00:24:09This is hot.
00:24:15Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:23Playing hard again?
00:24:25I like that.
00:24:27Brew no likey.
00:24:29You big stud.
00:24:32You got this.
00:24:33She's yours.
00:24:35Two can play this game.
00:24:36I'll be there for you.
00:24:45Hey.
00:24:46I'm sorry about...
00:24:47There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:24:49We're both adults.
00:24:50You don't owe me anything.
00:24:52He was just being...
00:24:54I don't care about him.
00:24:57I just...
00:24:58I don't know.
00:24:58I thought that you were different.
00:24:59I...
00:25:00I have to let this happen.
00:25:02You know what?
00:25:03I think you're right.
00:25:03I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:08No.
00:25:10More like work colleagues.
00:25:14Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:18But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:21It was built off hard work.
00:25:23That's about you.
00:25:23No, and I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:28But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:34You're just after my money.
00:25:37Session, I don't...
00:25:40How about the finish where we started?
00:25:47Get off.
00:25:47What about all this break room talk?
00:25:49I thought I told you never touch me again.
00:25:52Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:25:54Get off me, Bruno.
00:25:55I'm not interested.
00:25:56Don't be that interested.
00:25:59Let's get in front of me.
00:26:05No, Grievous.
00:26:12Tell me everything.
00:26:14It was terrible what I did, but this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:19I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:21You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:23I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:24Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:28What did you do?
00:26:30I almost kissed Bruno.
00:26:33The aggressive guy?
00:26:35He only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:26:39I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:41I wish we had met in college.
00:26:49Things would be so different.
00:26:55Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:26:57Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:00What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:11What is wrong with you?
00:27:13I mean, you have everything.
00:27:15And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:18You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:20Boy, don't ask Simon.
00:27:30You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:27:35Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:27:37What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:27:44Ruby.
00:27:45What are you doing here?
00:27:46Come in.
00:27:47I'm sorry.
00:27:48I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:27:50What are you doing here?
00:27:51Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:27:54And I thought I should come make amends.
00:27:58Is it me?
00:28:01Is it hot in here?
00:28:03I've missed you.
00:28:28We were so good together.
00:28:33Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:51No, no, no.
00:28:52Hey, I'm sorry.
00:28:52I can't do this.
00:28:56Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:00Yeah, just put this on.
00:29:03Is this about that bitch?
00:29:06Don't call her that.
00:29:09You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:29:10Hey, hey, get off of me.
00:29:19Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what is that?
00:29:38You must have dropped it.
00:29:46Oh, my God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:29:57Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:29:58We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:00In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:02Good night.
00:30:03Good night.
00:30:10Yeah, of course.
00:30:13How did you know where I lived?
00:30:16I looked your address up at work.
00:30:19I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:21About what?
00:30:21Look, I was a jerk earlier, and I overreacted.
00:30:27It's okay.
00:30:28Vanessa.
00:30:31People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:30:34Everyone only seems to want one thing from me, and that's why I have to be protective.
00:30:39I've been blinded by love before.
00:30:41Ruby?
00:30:42That obvious, huh?
00:30:44She's, um...
00:30:45Bitch?
00:30:45Yeah, and she also could put this hold on people, and I didn't realize it till much
00:30:53later that she's just a gold digger.
00:30:56And she never loved me.
00:30:57She only loved my bank account, and that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:03Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:07You have this merger.
00:31:08I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:13And you have your mother.
00:31:14How's she doing?
00:31:17She has her last treatment coming up, so we're hopeful.
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:23She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her, and she carries that guilt.
00:31:31The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died so I could live.
00:31:40She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:31:42Look, I appreciate your generosity, but as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss
00:31:49and secretary.
00:31:54Deal?
00:31:57Deal.
00:32:00Under one condition.
00:32:02What is it?
00:32:02You replace this.
00:32:09Sure.
00:32:10You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:12I never used it.
00:32:14Okay.
00:32:14Well, you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:19I'm not going to do that.
00:32:20Well, you need to, because I need you to attend a dinner with me.
00:32:28No dates.
00:32:29No, no, it's not a date.
00:32:30Personal assistant, strictly business.
00:32:33You feed me the names of people that I should know.
00:32:36It's boring, but the food is good.
00:32:39So what do you say?
00:32:41Deal?
00:32:42That's my one condition.
00:32:43You really are a good negotiator.
00:32:45You should probably go.
00:32:54Okay.
00:33:04Can I help you?
00:33:05Yes, yes.
00:33:06I am looking for a dress.
00:33:08Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:10Oh, probably.
00:33:12Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:17Oh, I know.
00:33:18I know.
00:33:18I don't usually shop at places like this, but I actually walk by here all the time and stare
00:33:23at that lap dress in the window.
00:33:26Not to cut you off.
00:33:27I'm pretty busy here, and we only serve to high-end clients.
00:33:33Okay.
00:33:36Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:33:38Maybe you are.
00:33:40I should probably go.
00:33:41You should.
00:33:42No, wait just a minute.
00:33:46What is going on here?
00:33:47I don't belong here.
00:33:48Of course you do.
00:33:49Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:33:51You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:33:53I didn't know she was...
00:33:54That shouldn't matter.
00:33:55You don't have to do this.
00:33:57Yes, I do.
00:33:58You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:01I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:04I'm really sorry.
00:34:05My boyfriend just dumped me, and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:09It's okay.
00:34:09I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing.
00:34:12I love them.
00:34:13Also, that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:16But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:19Plus, I have at least food.
00:34:20I'm oversharing.
00:34:22Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:23We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:34:25Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:34:46I don't want to let you down.
00:34:48You won't.
00:34:49Just stick with me.
00:34:50I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:34:52Oh, God.
00:34:58I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:01Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:03Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:05Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:07I'm sorry, Mr. Cromwell, but Sebastian is about to give you a speech.
00:35:10I'm sorry.
00:35:11Who the fuck are you?
00:35:13This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:16You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:18Oh, no.
00:35:27I'm so sorry.
00:35:28I'm such a klutz.
00:35:30And now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:35:44I think it's about time we got legal involved to talk about these terms and details.
00:35:48Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:35:51Your guys.
00:35:51Just keep taking notes.
00:35:55You're new here, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:35:58Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:06Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:08Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:10I need some of that.
00:36:13Damn, she's hot.
00:36:15Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink.
00:36:18Am I right, boys?
00:36:19I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:36:22There's a lot you don't know about me, Sebi.
00:36:25It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:36:27Oh, so formal.
00:36:29This company needed a little joke like me.
00:36:32Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:36:34Yeah, I know.
00:36:36Because I already got the prize.
00:36:39So, you are dating.
00:36:41I mean, if you call getting freaky in a two-star hotel dating.
00:36:44Come on, keep it classy.
00:36:46You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:36:50Respect the workplace.
00:36:52And chill.
00:36:54You got money like us.
00:36:56Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:02Stop.
00:37:03Stop.
00:37:05You're done.
00:37:06Get out of here.
00:37:07Pack your shit up.
00:37:08We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:10Okay, big boss man.
00:37:13I'll leave.
00:37:14But you're going to regret this.
00:37:16You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of.
00:37:19Just leave, son.
00:37:21It's over.
00:37:25Don't worry, Sebastian.
00:37:27I got your back.
00:37:29Back in my day, guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:37:33This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:37:35It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:37:43Oh, my God.
00:37:52Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:37:53Someone vandalized my car.
00:37:54What?
00:37:55Are you okay?
00:37:55Are you okay?
00:37:55I can't see their faces.
00:38:10They're wearing masks.
00:38:12The time stamp says it's from this afternoon, so it can't be.
00:38:15Bruno.
00:38:18He was in my office at that time.
00:38:21I'll send this to the authorities.
00:38:23I'm scared.
00:38:25I'll protect you.
00:38:34Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:36Hi, Doc.
00:38:37How's my mom doing?
00:38:38Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:40Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:38:42We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:38:45And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:38:48Just trying to make the best of it.
00:38:49Hopefully, this will be her last treatment and send her cancer into remission.
00:38:53The only sad thing is, Ms. Porter won't be brightening up her oncology ward anymore.
00:38:58Stop.
00:39:00I'll leave you to.
00:39:05How are you, honey?
00:39:06I'm good.
00:39:07Work's really busy.
00:39:09Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:12I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:14Food sucks.
00:39:15Are you okay?
00:39:17You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:20I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:39:21I don't want you to worry.
00:39:23Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:39:26I think I have a stalker.
00:39:28What?
00:39:29Someone vandalized my car.
00:39:30They wrote a bad word.
00:39:33A magic marker.
00:39:34Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get me out.
00:39:36I know, Mom.
00:39:38I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:39:41This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi.
00:39:43He has been all over me and is starting to worry me out.
00:39:46You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:39:48John Lombardi's son?
00:39:53John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:39:56Yes.
00:39:57And Bruno is, quote-unquote, heir to that throne.
00:40:02A crime family?
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:04Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:40:07They're thugs.
00:40:08And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:10you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:13I think he got fired today.
00:40:14What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:16Kids today.
00:40:17They always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:40:20They can't take responsibility.
00:40:22They're not my baby girl.
00:40:23The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs.
00:40:30Human trafficking?
00:40:32Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:40:36And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:40:39They've got some troubles going on.
00:40:41So, honey, please be careful.
00:40:43I have to warn Sebastian.
00:40:45I have to go, Mom.
00:40:47I love you.
00:40:53You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:09You know I can't accept this.
00:41:11You have to.
00:41:12I really can't.
00:41:14Then why not?
00:41:16Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:41:18I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:41:23No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:26I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:41:28Word is he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:41:31Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:33I don't know.
00:41:34He could be dangerous.
00:41:35Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:41:38Because I fired him.
00:41:40That's why I'm worried.
00:41:42Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:41:45We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:41:49And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:41:52And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:41:59Charity?
00:41:59Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:00Oh.
00:42:02I would love to.
00:42:03Hmm?
00:42:03But I don't know.
00:42:05Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:07You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:09It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:15One condition.
00:42:17Okay.
00:42:18What?
00:42:18You take the car back.
00:42:25Fine.
00:42:28See you as night.
00:42:33Damn.
00:42:34He is a good negotiator.
00:42:35You must be the new model.
00:42:50You're on stage in five.
00:42:52On stage?
00:42:53What is this?
00:42:54This is a charity auction.
00:42:56People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:42:57No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:59I can't do this.
00:43:00Are you kidding?
00:43:01This is going to be fun.
00:43:02And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:04You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:06Yeah.
00:43:07Going once, going once, going twice, and she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.
00:43:18And this is a new charity record for us.
00:43:20And this is a new charity record for us.
00:43:21Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:43:23Oh.
00:43:27What you're lucky here.
00:43:29I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:43:33Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.
00:43:37I just sold for $500,000.
00:43:42Set a new charity record.
00:43:44That crowd is going to eat you up.

00:45:52This is going to be fun.
00:45:58You cannot go out on that date.
00:45:59It could be dangerous.
00:46:00I don't have a choice.
00:46:03You always have a choice.
00:46:05It's in the next room.
00:46:06It's in a controlled space.
00:46:08Why are you doing this?
00:46:09Because he wants me to back out.
00:46:11He wants to make you look bad.
00:46:14I'm doing this for the charity.
00:46:15It's just dinner in public.
00:46:17It'll be fine.
00:46:20Okay.
00:46:21I trust you.
00:46:23I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:26What's his game plan?
00:46:32You know, for a winning bet of $1,000,000,
00:46:34you'd think they'd serve at a hooch.
00:46:36I'd rather be home, drinking my wine from a box.
00:46:41We have so much in common.
00:46:44I'd rather be at your home, too.
00:46:46What do you want from me?
00:46:48What are you talking about, baby?
00:46:50I just want to get to know you.
00:46:53Oh, I have been very clear.
00:46:56I am not interested.
00:46:57Don't you know who I am?
00:47:01Oh, I know who you think you are.
00:47:05I paid a lot of money for this thing.
00:47:07I mean, casino, I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:11You know, this wine ain't that bad.
00:47:25Where are you going?
00:47:27It ain't over yet, sweetheart.
00:47:29Can a girl use the restroom?
00:47:31Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:44We know what that one million bought me.
00:47:52I'm good, everybody.
00:47:53I'm good.
00:47:58Oh.
00:48:01Knock, knock.
00:48:09Hey, how was the date?
00:48:13And, um, who was this from?
00:48:15Uh, from Bruno, with all my love.
00:48:17Thanks for the magical night.
00:48:18Well, I guess that answers that.
00:48:20No, Sebastian, that's...
00:48:21No, no, it's fine.
00:48:22I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:31I'm just throwing this out there, but I think I'm entitled to more like 65%.
00:48:41Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:48:43Fine?
00:48:44Sebastian, that's robbery.
00:48:46Your head isn't in the game.
00:48:48We need to wrap this up so we can send it before Congress and push this merger through soon.
00:48:54A good negotiation is where both parties walk away equally unhappy.
00:48:59And right now, Sebastian, I'm very happy.
00:49:03That's it, Sebastian.
00:49:09I'm done.
00:49:11It's over.
00:49:13Wait, what do you mean that it's over?
00:49:15We need a break.
00:49:17Listen, why don't we take a long weekend?
00:49:19You can go home and refocus on this merger, and I can spend some time with my grandkids.
00:49:25We've spent every day at this damn office.
00:49:28We can come back on Tuesday and wrap this thing up.
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:34Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:49:36Let me...
00:49:37Everyone, listen up.
00:49:40Everyone can have all for the week with pay.
00:49:51So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:49:53How would I?
00:49:54I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:56Well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:57Sebastian, I...
00:49:59I can't.
00:50:01But thank you.
00:50:03My mom's still in the hospital, so I have to go visit her.
00:50:05Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates.
00:50:08Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:14Can I come in?
00:50:17She's fine.
00:50:19I'd love to have a drink, but I can't.
00:50:21Well, no one offered you one.
00:50:22I can't, because I'm pregnant.
00:50:27You're pregnant.
00:50:28I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian, but you're the father.
00:50:34That's impossible.
00:50:34We broke up three months ago.
00:50:36Can't you tell?
00:50:41I'm three months pregnant.
00:50:43No, no, no.
00:50:44I can't be the father.
00:50:45Okay.
00:50:46Well, I have a paternity test and ultrasound.
00:50:48Let's see different.
00:50:48Right there.
00:50:52Well, if this is true, then I'm not the type of man that runs from his responsibilities.
00:51:11That's what I love about you.
00:51:14You're so responsible.
00:51:17You need to go.
00:51:19I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:21Leave that there for you.
00:51:23I don't know how I'm going to tell Vanessa, but I have to be honest with her.
00:51:36I think we got him.
00:51:40I hope so.
00:51:42You riding whore on her car did nothing.
00:51:45And me leaving those photos that I took when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:48Okay, well, I'm still out two grand for a fake paternity test.
00:51:52I really thought Sebastian hitting me would ruin this merger.
00:51:55Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:57I just want the divorce to happen after so that I get half.
00:52:01And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to plan C and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:06I know exactly where he hangs out when he needs time alone.
00:52:10He'll pay for humiliating Almighty.
00:52:44That is beautiful and delicious.
00:52:49Who's it from?
00:52:51I hope it's not from Bruno.
00:52:53Oh, my God.
00:52:55If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:53:01With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:10It's a plane ticket.
00:53:13To Italy.
00:53:16You must go.
00:53:17I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:19Two tickets.
00:53:29Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:31I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:38It looks like we're going to Italy.
00:53:39Yes.
00:53:54Welcome.
00:53:55Hi.
00:53:59Nice to finally meet you.
00:54:00Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:54:02Yeah, come on in.
00:54:03So, Miss Porter, how are you doing?
00:54:09Wonderful.
00:54:10Just wonderful.
00:54:11Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here.
00:54:15And that private jet experience, that is the way to travel.
00:54:20And the food was delicious.
00:54:22What's mine is yours.
00:54:23So, feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:31Mom, where are you going?
00:54:32Are you feeling okay?
00:54:33I'm fine.
00:54:34Absolutely awesome.
00:54:35I have never felt better.
00:54:38Yeah.
00:54:39So, I'm just off now to find myself an Italian man.
00:54:42Mom.
00:54:43You are in the right place, then.
00:54:45Oh, do not encourage her.
00:54:47I'm going to leave you guys alone.
00:54:50Enjoy.
00:54:53Well, cheers to that.
00:54:55Cheers to that.
00:54:59I need to come clean.
00:55:03Bruno and I...
00:55:05Well, I don't care, but...
00:55:05No, listen.
00:55:06We were never a thing.
00:55:07You and Bruno never had an affair?
00:55:09No, I faked the whole thing.
00:55:12Why?
00:55:13I didn't know how to break it off with you.
00:55:17I was afraid I was a distraction.
00:55:19So, I lied.
00:55:20And it blew up in my face.
00:55:24Vanessa, I need you to understand something very clearly.
00:55:28I'm not distracted by us together.
00:55:30I'm distracted by us apart.
00:55:32And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:49Ruby told me that she is pregnant, and it's mine.
00:55:52What?
00:55:53How?
00:55:53Look, I don't believe her, but I still do need to play this thing right.
00:55:57And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:56:02Okay.
00:56:03I trust you.
00:56:08I love you.
00:56:13I love you, too.
00:56:14I love you.
00:56:35I love you.
00:56:38I love you, too.
00:56:40I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:57:00I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:02Mm-hmm.
