00:00:00Hi. I'm looking for my fiancé. His name is Ken Snyder. What room is he in?
00:00:29I'm sorry, miss. I can't provide the information of our guests, even if he is your fiancé.
00:00:35Listen, I know for a fact that he's upstairs screwing another woman.
00:00:40I'm going to tell you something else. That woman is probably my half-sister.
00:00:44I'm supposed to get married to him next week, and we haven't even had sex because he said that he's saving himself for marriage.
00:00:50Now, I need concrete evidence that this asshole is cheating on me, so what do you say?
00:00:55Can you help sister out?
00:00:59You didn't get this for me.
00:01:00Of course not.
00:01:02Give it to me.
00:01:06Oh, man. I wish I could go with her.
00:01:13Oh, baby. I'm coming. Okay.
00:01:17Oh, my God. Baby, that was so good.
00:01:26Gosh, but it just makes me even more pissed knowing that you're getting married to Serena next week.
00:01:31I really can't stand the thought of you having sex with her.
00:01:34How are you going to get out of fucking her now?
00:01:36I know, sweetheart, but I'm doing this for us.
00:01:39Serena's mother stated in her will that she has to be married by 28 to take over the company.
00:01:44She's turning 28 in a week.
00:01:46This is just temporary.
00:01:48Once I take her company, I'll divorce her.
00:01:51Then you and I can be together.
00:01:53You promise?
00:01:54I promise you. I won't touch her.
00:01:57I'll just tell her I can't get it up or something.
00:02:03Proud of you.
00:02:07You two are disgusting.
00:02:09Here, take a shower.
00:02:12What the fuck, Serena? What the hell are you doing here?
00:02:15You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiancé?
00:02:18Really, Carol? You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiancé?
00:02:22And Ken, my sister.
00:02:24Get off your high horse, Serena.
00:02:26Your father arranged our engagement so you can keep your mother's company.
00:02:29It's not like we're in love.
00:02:30That may be true, but I did trust you.
00:02:32I'm not marrying a cheater.
00:02:34The engagement is off.
00:02:36Good luck finding a husband in less than a week.
00:02:38You can say goodbye to your company.
00:02:41What the fuck, Serena?
00:02:43I'm never letting go of my mother's company.
00:02:46Ever.
00:02:47Test me again, and you'll see what I'm capable of.
00:02:54That bitch.
00:03:00Lynn, can you meet me at the Ross Hotel bar?
00:03:03Now.
00:03:04Now?
00:03:07And then he has the audacity to tell me I'm a boner, too.
00:03:11Okay, Serena, I get it.
00:03:13You got cheated on.
00:03:14But, honestly, drinking is not going to help.
00:03:17Something else will.
00:03:19What are you talking about, Lynn?
00:03:21I got you a surprise.
00:03:23It's waiting for you in room 1011.
00:03:25Or, should I say, he is...
00:03:29Did... did you get me an escort?
00:03:34Lynn, I don't need an escort.
00:03:37What I need right now is to find a way
00:03:39that I'm going to get married in a week
00:03:41so I can take over my mother's company.
00:03:43Come on, Serena, you're too stressed.
00:03:45You need to let loose.
00:03:46Have some fun first.
00:03:48I think our ideas of fun don't align.
00:03:52Just go, have some fun with him, and relax in 1011.
00:03:56Trust me.
00:03:57Cool.
00:03:58I'll see you in 1011.
00:04:01This is crazy.
00:04:02Knock when you get there.
00:04:03He'll be waiting for you.
00:04:05Check out his at 11 a.m.
00:04:07Enjoy.
00:04:11This is fucking crazy.
00:04:13It's you.
00:04:44What's your name again?
00:04:48It's you.
00:04:49Wow, where did Lynn find you?
00:04:59How did you find me?
00:05:01I didn't find you, Lynn did.
00:05:04Answer it.
00:05:08Hello?
00:05:09You there yet?
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11And he is super hot.
00:05:14Thank you, bestie.
00:05:16Have fun.
00:05:18How did you even...
00:05:20Shh, just, we're not talking.
00:05:23Let's just enjoy each other's company tonight.
00:05:35Hello?
00:05:36What do you mean, no show?
00:05:38She said she was there already.
00:05:39Well, I've been here for 30 minutes and no one is here.
00:05:42I'm leaving.
00:05:43Charging you with $500 cancellation fee.
00:05:45Goodbye.
00:05:47Hello?
00:05:48If she's not there, then where the hell is she?
00:05:51Okay, one second.
00:06:09God, what happened last night?
00:06:40I have to get out of here.
00:06:43Leaving without telling me your name again?
00:06:48Again?
00:06:50Again?
00:06:52Um, I've never actually done this before.
00:06:56Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:58I'm sorry.
00:06:59I'm sorry.
00:07:00I'm sorry.
00:07:01I'm sorry.
00:07:02I'm sorry.
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:04I'm sorry.
00:07:05I'm sorry.
00:07:06I'm sorry.
00:07:07I've never actually done this before.
00:07:09I know it's been five years, but does she really not remember me?
00:07:14Empty your pockets, pretty boy.
00:07:15All right, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
00:07:20Your phone, too.
00:07:24Your jacket.
00:07:25That's real nice.
00:07:26I want that, too.
00:07:28Really?
00:07:30I'm sorry.
00:07:31Oh.
00:07:32Ouch.
00:07:33You got jumped, huh?
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36Was it because you were wearing expensive clothes?
00:07:41No, I can't.
00:07:42Just take it.
00:07:43My friend's around the corner.
00:07:50Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:51I'm sorry.
00:07:52I'm sorry.
00:07:53I'm sorry.
00:07:54I'm sorry.
00:07:55I'm sorry.
00:07:56I'm sorry.
00:07:57I'm sorry.
00:07:59Oh, and next time you're in the neighborhood, don't wear nice stuff.
00:08:02You're going to get targeted.
00:08:04Hey, what's your name again?
00:08:13Thank you for a lovely night.
00:08:15And I should be going.
00:08:19Wow, it really is you.
00:08:22Smile for the camera, sis.
00:08:26Smile for the camera, sis.
00:08:28I heard you were drinking yourself to death at the bar downstairs.
00:08:33Looks like you had some fun.
00:08:35I can already see the headlines now.
00:08:37Heiress of Monroe Construction cheats on her fiancé with a cowboy?
00:08:42Who are you to talk about cheating?
00:08:44I just caught you in bed with my fiancé.
00:08:46Yeah, well, nobody knows about that, do they?
00:08:48Just wait until I upload these photos.
00:08:50You will never be named CEO.
00:08:53What the fuck are you doing?
00:08:55Are you an idiot?
00:08:57I've already uploaded all these to iCloud.
00:08:59Hmm, what a coincidence.
00:09:02So have I.
00:09:05You sneaky bitch!
00:09:07At least I have clothes on.
00:09:09What do you think is going to be worse?
00:09:11Your nudes with Ken?
00:09:12Or me just in a room with a man?
00:09:15I'm telling father about this.
00:09:17This is not the last of me.
00:09:20I'm sorry you had to see that.
00:09:22But nice move, not going to lie.
00:09:25You handled it well.
00:09:27Is it true you have a fiancé?
00:09:29Ex-fiancé, Ken Snyder.
00:09:33The heir of Snyder Electronics?
00:09:35That's the one.
00:09:37I'm taking over my mother's company in three days,
00:09:39and that's all he really cares about.
00:09:41Well, that Snyder guy would be a real pain in the ass.
00:09:44I don't care.
00:09:46I'm taking over my mother's company in three days,
00:09:48and that's all he really cares about.
00:09:50Well, that Snyder guy would be a fool
00:09:52to care more about a company than you.
00:09:54Well, anyway, thank you for helping me out.
00:09:59My name is Serena Monroe. What's yours?
00:10:01Jesse. Jesse Ross.
00:10:06As in CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:10:14Jesse Ross.
00:10:15As in CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:10:24Hi, Mom.
00:10:28How are you?
00:10:30Better now that you're here.
00:10:40The Rosses just won't give up, will they?
00:10:43It took them a million times to leave us alone.
00:10:45You're sick for God's sake.
00:10:47They don't care, sweetie.
00:10:49All the Rosses see is a great opportunity
00:10:52to acquire a blooming company from a dying woman.
00:10:56Don't say that, Mom.
00:10:58Don't worry, Serena.
00:11:00I'm leaving the company to you,
00:11:02even if it's the last thing that I do.
00:11:05It's too hard to do alone.
00:11:08Promise me that you'll find someone kind,
00:11:11someone you trust,
00:11:13marry him,
00:11:15and take over the company when you turn 28.
00:11:19And keep our legacy.
00:11:22No, just don't leave me, Mom.
00:11:24Promise me, Serena.
00:11:26I promise.
00:11:42Jessie Ross.
00:11:44Stay the fuck away from me.
00:11:46I'm sorry, did I say something?
00:11:48My mother was Pauline Monroe.
00:11:50Seven years ago, your family tried to get her
00:11:53to sell her company while she was dying from cancer.
00:11:55Okay, hold on a second.
00:11:57What are you talking about?
00:11:58My mother's company was her life's work.
00:12:00And you tried to steal it from her,
00:12:02and that killed her.
00:12:08Serena Williams.
00:12:10What?
00:12:11And don't say you're sorry.
00:12:13That's not gonna bring her back.
00:12:16I'm not Jessie Ross.
00:12:22What do you mean you're not Jessie Ross?
00:12:24I mean, I'm not that Jessie Ross.
00:12:26I mean, it's a pretty common name, no?
00:12:28How can I forget?
00:12:30He's an escort.
00:12:31How could he be that Jessie Ross?
00:12:33Right, totally.
00:12:36That name is just really triggering for me.
00:12:40Besides, this is the Ross Hotel.
00:12:42If you were the real Jessie Ross,
00:12:44somebody would have recognized you.
00:12:47Oh, good morning, Mr. Ross.
00:12:54How did she know who you are?
00:12:58I work at this hotel quite often.
00:13:01I mean, I work at many different hotels.
00:13:04Of course, of course, due to your profession.
00:13:07I'm sure you have to do this a lot.
00:13:09Anyway, speaking of that,
00:13:11did Lynn already pay you?
00:13:13Excuse me?
00:13:14Oh, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:13:18Two grand should be enough, right?
00:13:20And keep the change.
00:13:30Hold on, does she think I'm an escort?
00:13:35Have a good rest of your day.
00:13:43Um, do you want me to call you an Uber or something?
00:13:48No, that's all right.
00:13:49I'll take the subway.
00:13:51Subway?
00:13:52Isn't he the owner of this hotel?
00:13:54Well, um, thanks for the great night.
00:13:58You're welcome.
00:13:59Bye.
00:14:00Bye.
00:14:04Bye.
00:14:12Morning, boss.
00:14:19Got some news for you.
00:14:22The franchise mall is delayed in construction again.
00:14:25Same problem?
00:14:26The taco stand lady refuses to leave.
00:14:29We'll have to forcibly remove her
00:14:31if we want to continue construction.
00:14:37All right, let's go.
00:14:47Hey, so I'm going to need this whole truck that moves.
00:14:50You listen to me, you copper asshole.
00:14:52I'm not going nowhere, okay?
00:14:54I've been here for over ten years.
00:14:57And if you want me to go,
00:15:00Okay?
00:15:01How much would it cost to buy out the entire business?
00:15:04What?
00:15:05I mean, everybody has a price, right?
00:15:07You asshole!
00:15:08You think everything can be bought with money?
00:15:16To be with somebody all night is foul.
00:15:18It's absolutely foul.
00:15:19I don't know where she found this person.
00:15:21Shameless bitch.
00:15:23Carol told us that you were out the whole night
00:15:26at a hotel with another man.
00:15:28You have tarnished our family's name!
00:15:33Monroe is my family name.
00:15:36You're just a homewrecker turned stepmom
00:15:38living in the house that my mom bought
00:15:40with the money that my mom earned.
00:15:43So I suggest you shut your mouth
00:15:46or I swear I'll do it for you.
00:15:49Look at your daughter.
00:15:54So I suggest you shut your mouth
00:15:56or I swear I'll do it for you.
00:15:58This is your daughter.
00:16:00Look at your daughter.
00:16:02How dare you talk to us like that?
00:16:04You're the one out there with every man
00:16:06you could scoop up on the street.
00:16:08Go back to Ken.
00:16:10Apologize and beg his forgiveness.
00:16:12Yeah, I'll do that, Dad.
00:16:15When pigs fly.
00:16:17Are you crazy, Serena?
00:16:19You cannot take over this company
00:16:21until you are married.
00:16:23I expect to find a husband in the next few days.
00:16:26Oh, don't you worry. I will.
00:16:28It just won't be the guy that cheated on me
00:16:32with my own sister.
00:16:34What?
00:16:40You're a homewrecker.
00:16:42Like mother, like daughter. Huh?
00:16:44You sneaky bitch.
00:16:46I was just keeping Ken company.
00:16:48You were the one who was out with a callboy all night.
00:16:51At least he was nice and honest.
00:16:54You guys?
00:16:56You guys are just a bunch of money-hungry vultures
00:16:58feasting off of what my mom left behind.
00:17:05That's your daughter.
00:17:07She should be locked up.
00:17:09You're both right.
00:17:12I won't let them take your company, Mom.
00:17:15I promise.
00:17:17Okay.
00:17:24Where are you, Serena?
00:17:26I don't want to talk about last night.
00:17:28We will talk about it, Serena,
00:17:30but I'm actually calling as your assistant now.
00:17:32You should be meeting the chief designer
00:17:34of Ken's new clothing line.
00:17:36What?
00:17:38I'm actually calling as your assistant now.
00:17:40You should be meeting the chief designer of construction
00:17:42at Future Mall for the construction site right now.
00:17:44Oh, shit.
00:17:46I completely forgot. Okay.
00:17:48I'm on my way.
00:17:50Nice.
00:17:52Esta troza?
00:17:54It's all yours, sir.
00:18:00God bless you.
00:18:05Hey, can you move this...
00:18:07truck?
00:18:09Uh, thank you. Here's a drink.
00:18:15Hi, um, do you guys have water here?
00:18:18It's you.
00:18:20Oh, uh,
00:18:22I didn't take you as a taco stand kind of guy.
00:18:25You're going to kill yourself doing all these jobs.
00:18:27Yeah, usually I can handle this type of stuff,
00:18:30but I'm especially tired after last night.
00:18:35No, not today. I'm not doing that.
00:18:37Anyways, what can I help you with, Ms. Monroe?
00:18:41You can call me Serena.
00:18:43I was actually supposed to meet someone here,
00:18:45but it looks like I am late,
00:18:47so I think they already left.
00:18:49Somebody that keeps you waiting?
00:18:52I think you're worth the wait.
00:18:54Hold on a second.
00:18:56You might actually be the perfect...
00:18:58Hey, Jesse, are you married?
00:19:00No.
00:19:02Girlfriend?
00:19:03Do you have a relationship with different women?
00:19:05Of course not.
00:19:07Hmm. Okay, perfect. Let's go.
00:19:12Where are we going?
00:19:14City Hall. We're going to get married.
00:19:22Well, it's official.
00:19:24We're married.
00:19:26Kind of weird now that I say it out loud.
00:19:28I don't know. I think it sounds just right to me.
00:19:33Well, now that the marriage part is over,
00:19:35let's talk business.
00:19:37I'm going to deposit 10K on this card every month,
00:19:39and that is your salary for playing my husband.
00:19:43You know I'll marry you for free?
00:19:46Come on, Jesse. You barely know me.
00:19:49I know you well enough to know that I like you.
00:19:55Just take it, Jesse.
00:19:58I can't have you working in the hotels.
00:20:01Do you know what I mean?
00:20:03Listen, I...
00:20:08All right. You're right.
00:20:11A gentleman never argues with a lady.
00:20:14Great.
00:20:16Oh, I have to go, but keep your phone on you,
00:20:19and I look forward to working with you, Jesse Ross.
00:20:23You as well, Serena Monroe.
00:20:27Oh, please.
00:20:29We need to stop talking about her for once.
00:20:31I'm just a little bit over it.
00:20:33Oh, my.
00:20:36What are you doing here?
00:20:39You should be on your knees at Ken's house
00:20:41begging him to take you back.
00:20:43Ken probably kicked her out.
00:20:45That's why she's groveling back to us.
00:20:47Funny, coming from the woman who had her hands
00:20:49down his pants this morning.
00:20:51How dare you insult my baby girl, you wretched child.
00:20:55Well, I wouldn't have to if your baby girl
00:20:57wasn't such a liar and a man-stealer.
00:21:00You're just jealous that Ken chose me.
00:21:02And now without a husband,
00:21:04you're freaking out about the CEO title.
00:21:06I'm glad you mentioned it,
00:21:08because I have something to show you guys.
00:21:14Is... Is that...
00:21:17a marriage certificate?
00:21:20You're married?
00:21:23You're married?
00:21:25Who the hell is this guy?
00:21:27That is none of your business.
00:21:31Wait a minute.
00:21:33Jesse Ross?
00:21:35Wait, isn't he the billionaire...
00:21:37Oh, snap out of your daydream.
00:21:39It's not that Jesse Ross.
00:21:41As if a billionaire CEO would be interested in you.
00:21:45Let me guess.
00:21:47Is it the call boy from the hotel the other night?
00:21:50Sorry.
00:21:52Homeless.
00:21:54So what if it is?
00:21:57It's my marriage. Why do you care?
00:22:00Are you insane?
00:22:02You are the CEO-to-be of Monroe Construction.
00:22:05What can this loser do for our company, huh?
00:22:08He's got no connections. He's got no money.
00:22:10He's got nothing.
00:22:12Work is work. Marriage is marriage.
00:22:14If all you're concerned about is money,
00:22:16I'll get you the money.
00:22:18Do you think money grows on trees?
00:22:21You file for divorce right now,
00:22:23or you never set foot in this house again.
00:22:26Works for me.
00:22:28I don't want to see your faces anyway.
00:22:30I was just here to show you the certificate.
00:22:33Serena!
00:22:37Everything just went so unexpected, Serena.
00:22:40You've been sitting like this all morning, boss.
00:22:42Has something happened?
00:22:44Yeah.
00:22:46This happened.
00:22:48Oh, my.
00:22:50I got married last night to that girl.
00:22:52Wait, the girl that got you the wool coat?
00:22:54That's amazing, boss.
00:22:56What did you say whenever you told her
00:22:58you'd been looking for her for the last 5 years?
00:23:00I didn't tell her.
00:23:02What? Why?
00:23:04She's not just a random girl.
00:23:07She's Serena Monroe,
00:23:09the heiress of Monroe Construction
00:23:11and daughter of Pauline Monroe.
00:23:13And she thinks that my family killed her mother.
00:23:15And to be honest with you, I don't blame her.
00:23:17But it was your uncle who insisted
00:23:19on going after her mother.
00:23:21You were only 23. You weren't even CEO yet.
00:23:23I know, Cooper, but I'm still a Ross,
00:23:25so it doesn't change anything.
00:23:27That's why I don't want her to know who I am,
00:23:29just not right now.
00:23:31Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:23:33I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:23:35Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:23:37I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:23:39She's been on my mind all these years.
00:23:41I like her.
00:23:43I want to have a chance to get to know her better
00:23:45and to be around her, but I can't do that
00:23:47if she knows who I am.
00:23:49Before she sees me as the Jesse Ross,
00:23:51I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:23:53Before she sees me as the Jesse Ross,
00:23:55I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:24:01Morning, Serena.
00:24:03Hey, where are you?
00:24:05Uh, I am at the construction site selling tacos.
00:24:07Uh, I am at the construction site selling tacos.
00:24:09Again?
00:24:11Yeah, I need to pay the rent.
00:24:13Well, I'm your new boss now.
00:24:15I sent you an address. Can you come now?
00:24:17Yes, of course. I will be there soon, boss.
00:24:19Yes, of course. I will be there soon, boss.
00:24:23I gotta get going.
00:24:25And what about your meeting in 30 minutes?
00:24:27Push it back. My only priority right now
00:24:29is Serena Monroe.
00:24:33This is not gonna end well.
00:24:39Tom?
00:24:41Looking amazing as ever.
00:24:43Thank you, Miss Monroe.
00:24:45So nice to see you.
00:24:47Your dress is ready.
00:24:49I'll be right back.
00:24:51Oh, actually, it's my husband
00:24:53who is coming in today.
00:24:55He needs some decent clothes,
00:24:57some shoes, and definitely a new watch.
00:24:59That's great, although I'm not sure
00:25:01I can handle all of that today.
00:25:03Um, but...
00:25:05Oh!
00:25:07Sorry, I'm late.
00:25:09Miss Monroe, why didn't you tell me
00:25:11that your husband was, um...
00:25:15so handsome.
00:25:17Very nice to meet you.
00:25:19Jesse Ross.
00:25:21Wow, I have never been to a store like this.
00:25:23I mean, it must be so expensive.
00:25:25Baby, we don't have to do this
00:25:27if you don't wanna...
00:25:29Oh, don't worry about it.
00:25:31I want to.
00:25:35Can you get his measurements?
00:25:37There's no need.
00:25:41I'm sorry.
00:25:43What I mean is that, you know,
00:25:45I've been doing this for so many years.
00:25:47I can just take one look at him
00:25:49and know exactly what he needs.
00:25:51See, this is why we come here,
00:25:53because Tom is the expert
00:25:55of all experts.
00:25:57Right, okay.
00:25:59Well, then, Mr. Ross,
00:26:01why don't you come in the back
00:26:03and pick three suits?
00:26:05Great.
00:26:07I will be waiting outside the fitting room.
00:26:13What is going on?
00:26:15Thank you for covering for me.
00:26:17Look, you have an entire rack of suits here
00:26:19that have been custom-tailored for you.
00:26:21Pick three, and we'll try them on.
00:26:23Oh, okay.
00:26:25What did we say?
00:26:29Okay.
00:26:33Hmm.
00:26:43Hmm.
00:26:45Actually, not bad.
00:26:47Hmm.
00:26:53I like this one, too.
00:26:59What is this magic?
00:27:01Everything fits you like a glove.
00:27:03Trade secret.
00:27:13Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:27:15Excuse me. Sorry.
00:27:17Oh, it's okay.
00:27:19I think that we will take
00:27:21all three of them.
00:27:23Oh, yes.
00:27:25Um...
00:27:27Uh, actually,
00:27:29today is our annual sale.
00:27:3150% off everything that you've purchased today.
00:27:33Half off?
00:27:35Tom, you never have sales.
00:27:39Why don't I just go wrap this up for you?
00:27:43Okay.
00:27:45I promise
00:27:47that when I make enough money,
00:27:49I will pay you back.
00:27:51You don't have to pay me back. You're my husband.
00:27:53At least not with money.
00:27:59♪
00:28:09You know, no one's ever
00:28:11given me that nice a gift before.
00:28:13Thank you, Serena.
00:28:15Of course. You're my husband now.
00:28:17I want to take care of you.
00:28:19Plus, it's not every day that you see a guy
00:28:21look this good in a suit.
00:28:25Actually, I got you
00:28:27something, and, uh...
00:28:29Oh, wait. Hold on. Hold on.
00:28:31I know I rushed you
00:28:33into this whole marriage thing,
00:28:35so I thought the least I could do
00:28:37is get you a ring.
00:28:49You know, you didn't rush me
00:28:51into anything.
00:28:53I actually...
00:28:55If it isn't
00:28:57Serena Monroe.
00:29:01So,
00:29:03you must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:29:05I mean, chose.
00:29:09You must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:29:11Oh, you must be Ken Schneider,
00:29:13the cheating ex-fiancé she dumped.
00:29:15Anything, I dumped her first.
00:29:17Well, then I have
00:29:19a big thank you to tell you,
00:29:21because she's mine now.
00:29:23You must be paying him a lot,
00:29:25Serena.
00:29:27He's extremely committed to the character.
00:29:29Yeah, I'm really committed.
00:29:31And if you'll excuse us,
00:29:33I'm going to take my wife home.
00:29:41You don't even have your own car?
00:29:43You have to drive
00:29:45Serena's.
00:29:47What kind of loser are you?
00:29:49Loser?
00:29:53I've been called worse
00:29:55by better people.
00:30:07Fucking prick.
00:30:11You're welcome.
00:30:13Wow, I can't wait to see
00:30:15what this place looks like.
00:30:21Wait.
00:30:23Something feels
00:30:25odd.
00:30:27Well, this is me.
00:30:29Drive home safe.
00:30:31Bye.
00:30:33Bye.
00:30:35Bye.
00:30:37Drive home safe.
00:30:39Where do you live?
00:30:41Aren't you going to invite me in for some coffee
00:30:43or something?
00:30:45Fuck, I just pulled over some random neighborhood.
00:30:47I don't actually live here.
00:30:49Where do you live?
00:30:51Which house is yours?
00:30:53Can I have a tour?
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:57This one. Yeah, right there.
00:30:59But maybe next time.
00:31:01See, the thing is that I'm renting.
00:31:03I got a lot of roommates.
00:31:05It gets messy and dirty and...
00:31:07Wait, you're telling me seven people
00:31:09live in this house? Cramped up?
00:31:11Is that even legal?
00:31:13You know, the housing market's like
00:31:15so expensive nowadays, so...
00:31:17Anyways.
00:31:19Drive home safe.
00:31:21Okay.
00:31:23Is he...
00:31:25hiding another woman in that house?
00:31:27No, really.
00:31:29You can go.
00:31:31I will.
00:31:33Okay.
00:31:49I forgot my keys.
00:31:51What?
00:31:53Six other people live there.
00:31:55Just knock. I'm sure someone's home.
00:32:03Fuck it.
00:32:21Who are you? I'm not buying anything.
00:32:23Go away.
00:32:25Hey, friend. I forgot my keys.
00:32:27If you could just let me inside
00:32:29so we can...
00:32:31Can you just let me inside?
00:32:33I'll pay you whatever you want.
00:32:35Hey, what's wrong with you?
00:32:49Excuse me?
00:32:51What the...
00:32:53What the fuck is going on?
00:33:01What was that for?
00:33:03Do I need a reason to kiss my wife?
00:33:07What's wrong with your roommate?
00:33:09He said that he is very busy
00:33:11with a girl right now,
00:33:13if you know what I mean,
00:33:15and he asked me to come back later.
00:33:17Wait, you know Chinese?
00:33:19A little, yeah. I'm not fluent, though.
00:33:21That's kind of cool.
00:33:23But you live here.
00:33:25He can't just treat you like that.
00:33:27Oh, no, no, no.
00:33:29I'm actually gonna...
00:33:31I'm gonna go to a friend's house,
00:33:33hang out for a little bit,
00:33:35and I'll come back later.
00:33:37There's no worries at all, no.
00:33:39Let's go.
00:33:41To where?
00:33:43You're my husband.
00:33:45I can't let you just live like this.
00:33:47I'm gonna buy you a house.
00:33:49Are you serious?
00:33:51Of course. Let's go.
00:33:53I do not like the Rosses,
00:33:55but I do have to admit
00:33:57that I love the state and the city.
00:33:59This is their new developmental project,
00:34:01and I love it.
00:34:03But $2 million
00:34:05is a big purchase.
00:34:07Purchase?
00:34:09I'll give you this whole neighborhood
00:34:11if you want it.
00:34:13All right, Ms. Monroe.
00:34:15Welcome to the one and only
00:34:17Lawrence Station home.
00:34:19I heard you're interested
00:34:21in purchasing the property.
00:34:23Boss?
00:34:25Everyone thinks you're the boss of the relationship.
00:34:27Uh, my wife would like to have
00:34:29a tour of your model home.
00:34:31Certainly.
00:34:33If you'd kindly step into the living room.
00:34:35Ladies first.
00:34:41You don't remember, Boss?
00:34:43You told me to come to the new model home
00:34:45and make sure everything was running smoothly.
00:34:47Oh.
00:34:49Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:34:51Just don't blow my cover.
00:34:53Your secret is safe with me, Boss.
00:34:55Always.
00:34:57But you know, funny thing, though.
00:34:59I have another
00:35:01Ms. Monroe on my schedule.
00:35:09Uh, Serena?
00:35:11There are 8.5 million people in L.A.
00:35:13How come I keep running into you two cheaters?
00:35:15I'll go wherever I want.
00:35:17What do you think? You own the city?
00:35:19Oh, my God.
00:35:21My God.
00:35:23Did you pay for your own wedding ring yourself?
00:35:25That's the saddest thing I've ever seen, sis.
00:35:27Oh, really?
00:35:29Because I think I'm looking at the saddest thing I've ever seen.
00:35:31Take that back, you bitch.
00:35:33Hey.
00:35:35Watch it.
00:35:37You lay one hand on her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:35:39Take it easy.
00:35:41Take your claws off me, callboy.
00:35:43What?
00:35:45You think you're all high and mighty?
00:35:47Why don't you scram and go back to where you came from?
00:35:49Callboy?
00:35:51Anyway, if you two are interested in this unit,
00:35:53you could forget it.
00:35:55Because we're getting it. Right, Ken?
00:35:57Anything my baby wants.
00:36:01If you two are interested in this unit,
00:36:03you could forget it.
00:36:05Because we're getting it. Right, Ken?
00:36:07Anything my baby wants.
00:36:09Cash. Down payment.
00:36:11Now go get us that contract.
00:36:13Mr. Schneider, I know that there's nothing you can do about your face.
00:36:15What did you just say?
00:36:17Have your parents ever taught you to get in line
00:36:19and wait your turn on the playground?
00:36:21Those rules might apply to your peasant world.
00:36:23Picking up hot dogs.
00:36:25But in this world, my friend,
00:36:27money
00:36:29is the only express pass.
00:36:31Now what are you waiting for?
00:36:33Go fetch my contract.
00:36:35Actually, Mrs. Monroe
00:36:37has already reserved the unit.
00:36:39What? When?
00:36:41That's impossible.
00:36:43I made that down payment first.
00:36:45Yeah, well, Mrs. Monroe is the CEO
00:36:47of Monroe Construction,
00:36:49and as one of our VIP clients,
00:36:51she can reserve any unit
00:36:53at any time
00:36:55without a down payment.
00:36:57But I wouldn't expect you to know that.
00:36:59Are you insane?
00:37:01Do you know who you're talking to?
00:37:03I don't.
00:37:05I don't.
00:37:07I don't.
00:37:09Do you know who you're talking to?
00:37:11This is Ken Snyder.
00:37:13Snyder? Oh, I'm afraid
00:37:15I've never heard that name before.
00:37:17Well, if you guys will excuse us,
00:37:19me and Serena
00:37:21have some paperwork we should be signing.
00:37:23Fine.
00:37:25We don't want your fucking
00:37:27model home anyway.
00:37:29Hey, Ken. No cussing.
00:37:31My house, my rules.
00:37:33Let's go, Ken.
00:37:39Looks like the express pass
00:37:41didn't work this time.
00:37:45What?
00:37:47Did I say something wrong?
00:37:51Did I say something wrong?
00:37:53That was fucking amazing.
00:37:55Hey.
00:37:57Watch your language.
00:37:59I'm too excited.
00:38:01Thank you, but since when
00:38:03did I become a VIP?
00:38:05From the moment you walked in.
00:38:07That way. I think I need to buy it.
00:38:11And we're having a half-off sale
00:38:13because it's a model home.
00:38:15You get to keep the furniture, too.
00:38:17Am I dreaming?
00:38:19I have to be dreaming, Jesse. Pinch me.
00:38:21I think this is real, Serena.
00:38:25I'll go fetch the papers.
00:38:27This is amazing.
00:38:33Welcome to
00:38:35your new home, Jesse.
00:38:37How about we call it
00:38:41our home?
00:38:45How about we call it
00:38:49our home?
00:38:51What?
00:38:53What do you mean?
00:38:55I just got this model home for you because
00:38:57I need you to move in ASAP.
00:38:59Look, it's already furnished and everything.
00:39:01I know. It's so spacious, but
00:39:03I'm here with you.
00:39:05Build a home. Just us.
00:39:09You really want to do that with me?
00:39:11Why do you keep doubting that I want to be with you?
00:39:15I guess I just haven't felt
00:39:17wanted lately.
00:39:19Well, Serena Monroe,
00:39:21I want you
00:39:23more than anything.
00:39:29This is a pretty big house.
00:39:31Lots of empty rooms.
00:39:33All right.
00:39:35Just so we're clear, I get the master bedroom.
00:39:39Anything you want, sweetheart.
00:39:41Yes, don't touch.
00:39:43Okay. All right.
00:39:47It's been such a long day.
00:39:49Are you hungry?
00:39:51I'm starving.
00:39:53I think I know just the place to go.
00:39:57This is my favorite restaurant.
00:39:59They have the best steak in the city.
00:40:01Wow, I cannot imagine what a dish
00:40:03must cost around here.
00:40:05Oh, don't worry about it. Get whatever you want.
00:40:07It's on me anyway.
00:40:09Besides, I saved about
00:40:11a million dollars today.
00:40:15Welcome to LaBelle.
00:40:17Good to see you.
00:40:18Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:40:19My name is Jesse Ross.
00:40:21I'm very excited to be at your establishment
00:40:23for the very first time.
00:40:25Great to have you here, Mr. Ross.
00:40:27I'm Leonard, the manager.
00:40:29The lady must be your date for the night.
00:40:31My wife, Miss Serena Monroe.
00:40:33Congratulations on the new marriage.
00:40:35Please, follow me.
00:40:37Wait, how did you know
00:40:39that we recently got married?
00:40:43Wait,
00:40:45how did you know that we recently
00:40:47got married?
00:40:49You know, I've seen so many newly-wedded couples
00:40:51come to this place to celebrate.
00:40:53They all have this special glow.
00:40:55Wow, that's very romantic.
00:40:59I guess we do have a lot to celebrate.
00:41:01Perfect.
00:41:03Let me lead you to your table.
00:41:07We have this table for the two of you.
00:41:09Miss Monroe.
00:41:11Perfect. Thank you.
00:41:23Thank you, sir.
00:41:31Something wrong?
00:41:33No, nothing.
00:41:35Actually,
00:41:37this day has gone by so perfectly
00:41:39it actually feels unreal.
00:41:41Well, it must be luck.
00:41:43No, it's
00:41:45you.
00:41:47It's you.
00:41:49Ever since
00:41:51I met you, everything just keeps
00:41:53falling into place.
00:41:55You bring so much fortune into my life.
00:41:57I think
00:41:59you're my lucky star, Jesse.
00:42:01Cheers.
00:42:11To our glow.
00:42:15To our glow.
00:42:19For some reason,
00:42:21I really like having him around.
00:42:23Should I hire him?
00:42:27Do I have something on my face?
00:42:29No.
00:42:31It's not that.
00:42:33I was actually thinking,
00:42:35since you are my lucky star,
00:42:37why don't you come look with me
00:42:39at my company?
00:42:41I could use the luck.
00:42:43And I like
00:42:45having you around.
00:42:47Well,
00:42:49if you say it like that,
00:42:51where do I have fun?
00:42:55Oh, there you are.
00:42:57And you're the secret husband she's been
00:42:59hiding from me.
00:43:01He's not just okay, he's hot.
00:43:03Way to go, girl.
00:43:05I'm Lynn.
00:43:07Serena's best friend, assistant,
00:43:09therapist.
00:43:11Well, I'm hoping to take some of that responsibility off you
00:43:13from now on.
00:43:15I like him.
00:43:17Great, because I brought him here to do an interview with you.
00:43:19An interview for what?
00:43:21Anything.
00:43:23Just find him something to do.
00:43:25Try your best.
00:43:27Wait, Serena.
00:43:29This woman, I swear.
00:43:31I know, right?
00:43:33Well, let's get to it.
00:43:43What are you doing in my office?
00:43:49What are you doing in my office?
00:43:51And get out of my chair.
00:43:53You're getting your stench all over it.
00:43:55Always so high and mighty, aren't we, Serena?
00:43:57I guess you haven't heard the news.
00:43:59The Johnsons
00:44:01decided to pull out of your biggest project
00:44:03in Williamsburg.
00:44:05I guess they don't trust you with their money.
00:44:07No need to be nervous, okay? We'll just chat a bit.
00:44:09Sounds good to me, yeah.
00:44:11So you have your resume on you?
00:44:13Yeah, I do, yeah.
00:44:15I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that,
00:44:17but nothing too serious.
00:44:19Serena chose you as her Prince Charming.
00:44:21I'm sure you've done something...
00:44:23incredible.
00:44:25You went to Harvard?
00:44:27Yes, yeah.
00:44:29You were the chief designer of reconstruction
00:44:31of Shangri-La, Shanghai.
00:44:33That is correct, yeah.
00:44:35And you designed Crazy Maple Plaza
00:44:37in Silicon Valley.
00:44:39You know, with your resume,
00:44:41you could have a job in the industry
00:44:43anywhere in the world.
00:44:45I know.
00:44:47But there's only one Serena Morel.
00:44:49She's the most
00:44:51important thing to me.
00:44:55That's impossible.
00:44:57I just met with the COO last week.
00:44:59Wait. Ken went to
00:45:01college with him.
00:45:03You two did this.
00:45:05Don't point
00:45:07fingers when you can't even manage your own company.
00:45:09You start
00:45:11as CEO next week.
00:45:13What are you going to do?
00:45:15Well, as her assistant,
00:45:17I should be critical
00:45:19and grill you with more questions.
00:45:21But as her
00:45:23best friend,
00:45:25I feel like she is
00:45:27so lucky to have you.
00:45:29Face it, Serena.
00:45:33Serena's office.
00:45:35Shit. I think I recognize that voice.
00:45:37Carol Monroe.
00:45:39Not you again.
00:45:47You start as CEO next week.
00:45:49What are you going to do?
00:45:51I'll find a solution.
00:45:53I'm not losing the Johnson case.
00:45:55There's a fine line between confidence
00:45:57and stupidity, Serena.
00:45:59You want a piece of free advice? Quit
00:46:01right now.
00:46:03I'll die before I let go of this company.
00:46:05Face it,
00:46:07Serena. Without the Johnson's money,
00:46:09you're going to lose the biggest case of your life.
00:46:11And I don't really think the board
00:46:13is going to be too happy about that.
00:46:15But I'll see
00:46:17if I can have Ken call them to change their
00:46:19minds.
00:46:21And all you'll have to do
00:46:25is get down on your hands and knees
00:46:27and beg me.
00:46:29What's more important to you?
00:46:31Your ego or your dead
00:46:33mother's company?
00:46:35Keep dreaming, Carol.
00:46:37Great.
00:46:39Looking forward to seeing you get fired.
00:46:45Wait.
00:46:57Wait.
00:47:15Don't do it.
00:47:17You again.
00:47:19You know what? Don't steal my line. And how dare you bully
00:47:21my wife like that?
00:47:23I didn't do anything. It's the Johnson's that pulled out
00:47:25of her project.
00:47:27Not anymore.
00:47:31Vincent.
00:47:33It's Jesse. Hello.
00:47:35I'm good, bro. Yeah.
00:47:37Hey, I have a question for you. I heard you were
00:47:39pulling out of the Monroe project, yeah?
00:47:41Oh, that would be amazing.
00:47:43Hey, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much,
00:47:45all right? All right, we'll talk
00:47:47soon. Be safe. Bye.
00:47:49All taken care of.
00:47:51Serena, thank you for the project.
00:47:53But the Johnson's... The Johnson's just agreed
00:47:55to sell the project for $20 million to Ross
00:47:57Instruction, and they're going to continue to fund
00:47:59Serena's project. You're lying.
00:48:03Okay, you're lying.
00:48:05The Rosses wouldn't just donate $20 million
00:48:07to some project.
00:48:09You're more than welcome to call Vincent if you'd like, yourself.
00:48:11But I doubt you have his phone number.
00:48:13Serena?
00:48:15It's all taken care of.
00:48:17Mark my words, Serena. Your luck will run
00:48:19out soon. And when it does, I'll be
00:48:21in the front row waiting for that day.
00:48:31Does she always stand in the door like that?
00:48:35What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy
00:48:37about all this.
00:48:39I am happy that
00:48:41the project is being saved, but
00:48:43I don't know how I feel
00:48:45about it being with the Rosses.
00:48:47Serena...
00:48:49Wait, how do you know Vincent Johnson?
00:48:51Oh, shit. What should I tell her?
00:48:53I, uh...
00:48:55I've...
00:48:57helped him with
00:48:59some stuff, yeah.
00:49:01Aw, I knew I was right about you.
00:49:03Jesse, Ross.
00:49:05How do you always end up
00:49:07being at the right place at the right time?
00:49:09Oh, that was close.
00:49:11Because I only do it
00:49:13for the right person.
00:49:15Stop. We're at the office.
00:49:21How was your interview, by the way?
00:49:23I don't know. You tell me. How was my performance back there, huh?
00:49:27You're hired as my personal assistant.
00:49:29Perfect! I've been dreaming of this day
00:49:31my whole life.
00:49:33Mwah!
00:49:35Hey.
00:49:37See you at work.
00:49:39Bye.
00:49:41Cooper!
00:49:43Hey, uh, I wanted to let you know I am stepping away
00:49:45from the company for a little while.
00:49:47What? Why?
00:49:49I accepted a job offer from my wife as her assistant.
00:49:51Wait, why?
00:49:53Your company makes millions of dollars a month,
00:49:55and you're tossing it aside for no good reason?
00:49:57Well, I'm doing it to be with Serena.
00:49:59That's the best reason.
00:50:01And I'm leaving it in your care while I'm gone.
00:50:03Oh, okay, yeah. Easy for you to say, boss.
00:50:05I trust you, Cooper, okay?
00:50:07You can do it.
00:50:09All right, bye.
00:50:11Wait, hold on a second, boss. Wait.
00:50:13Oh.
00:50:29Surprise.
00:50:33Surprise.
00:50:37Did you do all of this?
00:50:39Anything for my wife.
00:50:43Is...
00:50:45Is that my apron?
00:50:47Okay,
00:50:49you can laugh all you want.
00:50:51I am not getting a stain on this shirt.
00:50:53Who says I'm laughing?
00:50:55Actually,
00:50:57I think it is quite sexy.
00:50:59Hmm.
00:51:01You're the first man who's ever cooked for me.
00:51:03Really? No one's ever done this for you?
00:51:05Men in my world are not like you, Jesse.
00:51:07They wear $5,000 suits,
00:51:09play golf,
00:51:11and they only care about two things.
00:51:13Spending money
00:51:15and how to make more of it.
00:51:17You're full of surprises.
00:51:19You're pretty special.
00:51:25You say the word,
00:51:27and I will do this for you every single day
00:51:29for the rest of your life.
00:51:35For the rest of your life?
00:51:37Or as long as you'll have me.
00:51:41Well, I have to
00:51:43taste test this first.
00:51:45All right. Ladies first.
00:51:47Fair warning, I'm pretty picky.
00:51:49Don't take my chances.
00:51:57This is amazing.
00:51:59Um, you have
00:52:01a little something.
00:52:05A little something.
00:52:07Oh.
00:52:11Uh,
00:52:17this is
00:52:19too good to be true.
00:52:21You're
00:52:23too good to be true.
00:52:25I don't want to keep doing this to you.
00:52:27What are you talking about, Serena?
00:52:31I think we should end this.
00:52:33Oh, no.
00:52:35Did she find out who I am?
00:52:37I think we should end this.
00:52:39I proposed to you
00:52:41only to become CEO,
00:52:43and you ended up being so special.
00:52:45Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:52:47Yes, you did ask me
00:52:49to marry you.
00:52:51But have you ever thought about why I said yes?
00:52:53Because I'm paying you?
00:52:55$10,000 a month is a lot.
00:52:57Yes.
00:52:59But it's not enough to make me stay.
00:53:01I stay because I like you.
00:53:03I'm falling for you, Serena.
00:53:05Really?
00:53:07You're falling for me?
00:53:09Yes.
00:53:11Now.
00:53:15Shall we?
00:53:21So, you can dance.
00:53:25Do you have any other secrets
00:53:27that you're hiding from me, Jesse Rock?
00:53:29I guess we'll find out.
00:53:31Actually,
00:53:33I think I have a secret to tell you.
00:53:37Actually,
00:53:39I have a secret to tell you.
00:53:47I think I'm falling for you, too.
00:53:51Well, then,
00:53:53I'm falling for you, too.
00:53:55I think I'm falling for you, too.
00:53:59Well, then,
00:54:01I guess we'll just call it even.
00:54:25I think I'm falling for you, too.
00:54:39Do you know that when two people
00:54:41look at each other's eyes long enough,
00:54:43their heartbeats synchronize?
00:54:47No way. You just made that up.
00:54:49I'm serious.
00:54:51Feel it.
00:54:55Feel it.
00:55:01Serena?
00:55:05Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:55:09Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:55:13I...
00:55:15I don't know.
00:55:17I know he just recently took over the company
00:55:19a year ago,
00:55:21and it was his Uncle Alfred
00:55:23who was going after my mom,
00:55:25not him, but
00:55:27he's still Ross.
00:55:29I don't know if I can look past that.
00:55:33I've never told anybody this,
00:55:35but
00:55:37even though my mom has been gone
00:55:39for five years,
00:55:41sometimes
00:55:43I pretend she's just traveling
00:55:47and she'll come back one day.
00:55:49She was the only one
00:55:51who ever truly loved me.
00:55:53That's why I can't let go
00:55:55of this company.
00:55:57If I lose this, then
00:56:01I lose everything of her.
00:56:03I'm sorry that you had to do it alone.
00:56:05It was hard.
00:56:07I'm not alone anymore.
00:56:09I have you.
00:56:13I haven't felt like this
00:56:15in a really, really
00:56:17long time.
00:56:19Like what?
00:56:21Like home.
00:56:41We're gonna have to move.
00:56:43If this is what you want to do, you can do that.
00:56:45But you're gonna have to move it all the way over.
00:56:47This is the CEO office.
00:56:49Dad, have you ever heard of knocking?
00:56:51You think you're such a hero for securing
00:56:53funds from Ross Construction,
00:56:55do you?
00:56:57Here, why don't you take a look at this.
00:56:59Selena Monroe
00:57:01broke our engagement
00:57:03and then married another man in less than 24 hours.
00:57:05She broke my heart.
00:57:07Worse than that, she broke my trust.
00:57:09And that is why
00:57:11I am hereby terminating all partnerships
00:57:13with Monroe Constructions.
00:57:15He cheats on me
00:57:17first and then he wants to go off about trust.
00:57:19Hmm, that's funny.
00:57:21I don't care who cheated on whom.
00:57:23You ruined our relationship
00:57:25with Ken and now our business
00:57:27is sinking.
00:57:29Dad, you don't care about the company.
00:57:31You just want the bribe
00:57:33that Ken said he'd give you.
00:57:35How dare you accuse your father
00:57:37of this?
00:57:41How dare you accuse your
00:57:43father of this?
00:57:47Get your hands off me, you asshole.
00:57:49Anyone who hurts Serena, I'll hurt them first.
00:57:51Do you understand? You got two options.
00:57:53You either walk out that door yourself or I'll throw you out.
00:57:55Huh? What is it? What are you going to do?
00:58:01That's what I thought.
00:58:05Who the hell is this?
00:58:07Jesse Ross, Serena's husband and personal
00:58:09assistant. You hired him?
00:58:11What is this, a homeless shelter?
00:58:13His resume was approved by HR.
00:58:15He got here fair and square,
00:58:17unlike you, who took Mom's seat
00:58:19on the board as soon as she passed.
00:58:21I swear, you mark my words,
00:58:23Serena. You're going to regret
00:58:25losing all the money that you
00:58:27had in projects with Ken.
00:58:29The big board meeting is tomorrow.
00:58:31And if you can't dig your way out of this,
00:58:33you can kiss this company goodbye.
00:58:41You okay?
00:58:45Don't worry about it.
00:58:47No, Jesse. He's right.
00:58:49I'm going to lose the company.
00:58:51No, Jesse.
00:58:53He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
00:58:55What are you talking about?
00:58:57You're Serena Marone. You'll figure it out.
00:58:59I know my wife.
00:59:01No, but the board doesn't, Jesse.
00:59:03And if I don't get enough business for the company,
00:59:05they're going to vote me out.
00:59:07I promised my mom and I'm failing her.
00:59:09Look at me.
00:59:11It's going to be okay.
00:59:13I will help you figure this out.
00:59:15We'll figure it out together, all right?
00:59:17The board meeting is in 24 hours, Jesse.
00:59:19No one can fix this.
00:59:23I know one person.
00:59:27I have an idea.
00:59:29And you're not going to like it. You're going to say no.
00:59:31But you've got to hear me out first.
00:59:35You need to call Jesse Ross
00:59:37and set up an in-person meeting with him.
00:59:43You need to call Jesse Ross
00:59:45and set up an in-person meeting with him.
00:59:47That is the only company in this industry
00:59:49that can handle all the properties of Kent's.
00:59:51This could be your only chance
00:59:53to actually save the company's rent. Do you understand?
00:59:55And this could be his shot
00:59:57to right the wrong that his family did to you.
00:59:59Even if I did call him up,
01:00:01everyone wants to work with him. Why would he choose me?
01:00:03He's chosen you before.
01:00:05I have a feeling that he could
01:00:07choose you again.
01:00:11I have to step out for a minute.
01:00:13But trust me,
01:00:15call him.
01:00:23What should I do, Mom?
01:00:25Promise me
01:00:27that you'll find someone kind.
01:00:29Someone you trust.
01:00:31Take over the company when you turn 28.
01:00:33Keep our legacy.
01:00:43Hello?
01:00:45Boss, your wife,
01:00:47I mean, Miss Monroe,
01:00:49is on the line.
01:00:51Put her on.
01:00:55Good morning, Mr. Ross.
01:00:57This is Serena Monroe from Monroe Construction.
01:00:59It's a pleasure to hear from you, Miss Monroe.
01:01:01This person's voice sounds so familiar.
01:01:03Is there anything that I can do for you?
01:01:05Yes, actually.
01:01:07Since we are officially doing business together,
01:01:09I think there are a few projects
01:01:11that would be perfect for your company.
01:01:13And I was wondering if you would be interested
01:01:15in meeting tonight in person
01:01:17to discuss our
01:01:19future together.
01:01:21That sounds wonderful.
01:01:23I would love to finally meet you in person,
01:01:25Miss Monroe.
01:01:27Oh, and may I just say, I really admire
01:01:29what you are doing over at that company.
01:01:31I think you're a very bright
01:01:33and strong woman.
01:01:35Thank you, Mr. Ross.
01:01:37Please call me Jesse.
01:01:39See you tonight then, Jesse.
01:01:43He's a lot nicer than I thought.
01:01:49This may be my last night
01:01:51with you, Serena, but
01:01:53I'm just going to tell you the truth
01:01:55and hope for the best.
01:01:59Jesse, I don't know
01:02:01if I can do this. I'm freaking out right now.
01:02:03Look at me. Everything is going
01:02:05to be okay tonight, all right? I promise.
01:02:07How can you be so sure?
01:02:09Because you're amazing,
01:02:11and he will see that.
01:02:13And we're also named Jesse Ross,
01:02:15so I basically know how his brain works.
01:02:17That wasn't scientific at all.
01:02:19But it worked, didn't it?
01:02:21Guess what? I have a surprise for you.
01:02:23Okay.
01:02:25Come with me.
01:02:29Where did you
01:02:31find such a place?
01:02:33Well, I know the owner,
01:02:35and he agreed to lend it to me.
01:02:37I mean, I figured we never had a first date,
01:02:39so why not?
01:02:45This is beautiful, Jesse.
01:02:47It really is.
01:02:49Wait. Don't move.
01:02:53Why?
01:02:55I'm trying to see if our heartbeats
01:02:57synchronize.
01:02:59And what do you think?
01:03:01I can't tell.
01:03:03It seems like yours is getting
01:03:05faster and faster.
01:03:07And who's fault is it?
01:03:09I don't know.
01:03:17I'm lucky to have found you, Serena.
01:03:19Me too, Jesse.
01:03:21You know, something weird happened
01:03:23earlier when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:03:25I saw your face.
01:03:33It was like you had some
01:03:35weird familiarity somehow.
01:03:39It must have been a déjà vu moment.
01:03:43It must be.
01:03:47Oh my god.
01:03:49I'm an idiot.
01:03:51I'm so stupid.
01:03:53I'm an idiot.
01:03:55Is it finally time?
01:03:57You planned this whole
01:03:59date for us, and here I am talking about
01:04:01another man.
01:04:03I'm so sorry.
01:04:05It's okay.
01:04:07I am just glad
01:04:09to be in this moment with you.
01:04:13Well, see?
01:04:15I'm your wife.
01:04:17You have your whole life to spend with me.
01:04:19And mark my words,
01:04:21Jesse Ross, you're not gonna get rid
01:04:23of me that easy.
01:04:25Then I am the luckiest man in the world.
01:04:29I love you.
01:04:31You have no idea how much I wish
01:04:33you'd never know who I really am.
01:04:39I love you too, Jesse.
01:04:51I love you too.
01:04:59Well,
01:05:01I guess we're back where it all started.
01:05:03I guess we are.
01:05:21I'm sorry. I gotta take this.
01:05:23Okay. I'll just meet you out there.
01:05:29Serena?
01:05:33Nothing.
01:05:35Good.
01:05:39Serena, I promise
01:05:41I will tell you everything when I'm done.
01:05:47Alfred? Jesse!
01:05:49Did you really think you could keep
01:05:51Serena Monroe a secret from me?
01:05:53Stay out of it, okay?
01:05:55This is between me and her.
01:05:57Not anymore.
01:05:59Come up to my suite.
01:06:01We need to talk.
01:06:11Okay.
01:06:13Five more minutes.
01:06:19Okay.
01:06:35I thought you were in Europe.
01:06:39You wouldn't return my calls, Jesse.
01:06:43So I thought
01:06:45either you're in trouble
01:06:47or you're hiding something from me.
01:06:49Turns out,
01:06:51both my guesses are correct.
01:06:53Me and Serena are married.
01:06:55I'm investing in her project so she can keep her company.
01:06:57You can't do anything about it.
01:07:01You've always been a hopeless romantic, Jesse.
01:07:03And that's the worst quality
01:07:05a CEO can have.
01:07:07Now, don't get me wrong.
01:07:09I'm proud of you
01:07:11for gaining Serena Monroe's trust.
01:07:13She never would have agreed to sit down with me.
01:07:15And I do like her projects.
01:07:17But then I thought,
01:07:19why fund her when I can take over
01:07:21her entire company?
01:07:25Why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:07:27She's given everything for that company.
01:07:29You can't just take it from her.
01:07:31I'm not taking anything.
01:07:33I'm buying.
01:07:35I'm gonna make her a decent offer
01:07:37and if she's smart enough, she'll take it.
01:07:39I'm not gonna let you do that.
01:07:41I know you won't.
01:07:43Which is why
01:07:45I have to do this.
01:07:47Alfred.
01:07:49Alfred!
01:07:51Hey!
01:07:53Go, go, go, go!
01:07:55Hey, hey! Alfred! Alfred!
01:08:05I see you've noticed the proposal
01:08:07I drafted for us, Ms. Monroe.
01:08:09Alfred.
01:08:11Alfred Ross.
01:08:15Alfred Ross.
01:08:17I know you're expecting my nephew.
01:08:19However,
01:08:21I just had a chat with him
01:08:23and unfortunately we were unable to come to terms
01:08:25on our business strategy.
01:08:27Business strategy?
01:08:29Is that what you call trying to force a dying woman
01:08:31to sell her company?
01:08:33I understand your frustration, Ms. Monroe.
01:08:35But I'm a businessman.
01:08:37So was your mother.
01:08:39A successful one, I might add.
01:08:41She knew the rules of the game.
01:08:43And so do you.
01:08:45Fuck!
01:08:47Fuck!
01:08:51I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Ross,
01:08:53but
01:08:55it seems that
01:08:57we have too much history
01:08:59to continue this conversation.
01:09:01I'd like to speak with your nephew, if I may.
01:09:03Unfortunately, Jesse is currently
01:09:05occupied.
01:09:07But I assure you, Ms. Monroe, I speak for the both of us.
01:09:09After all,
01:09:13we are family.
01:09:21Jesse's phone.
01:09:23He's your nephew.
01:09:27He's the Jesse Ross.
01:09:31Now I know all about your situation,
01:09:33Ms. Monroe.
01:09:35I assure you, I have your best solution right here.
01:09:37I'm never selling my company.
01:09:39Especially not to you.
01:09:43I knew you'd say that.
01:09:45But to me, it's really all the same.
01:09:47You see, it's simple.
01:09:49Either
01:09:51you sign these papers now and sell to me,
01:09:53or tomorrow you get voted out by your board.
01:09:55Your stocks crash,
01:09:57and I buy it cheap.
01:09:59Whatever you choose, Ms. Monroe,
01:10:01I'll get
01:10:03what I want.
01:10:09Shit!
01:10:11Hey!
01:10:15Cooper! How did you find me?
01:10:17I couldn't reach you, boss, so
01:10:19I tracked your phone to this hotel.
01:10:21I saw your uncle down in the lobby
01:10:23with your phone, so I knew something was off.
01:10:25The front desk told me he checked into this room.
01:10:27Alfred is forcing Serena to sell the company.
01:10:29We need to get down there right now.
01:10:31Okay.
01:10:35So,
01:10:37everything he did
01:10:39was to get close to me.
01:10:41To get my company.
01:10:43Are there any other secrets
01:10:45you're hiding from me, Jesse Ross?
01:10:47I guess we'll find out.
01:10:49You know, something weird happened earlier
01:10:51when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:10:53I saw your face.
01:10:55Love clouds one's vision.
01:10:57And as you know,
01:10:59in this business, your vision must
01:11:01always be crystal clear.
01:11:05Sign this.
01:11:07You'll get a fair price,
01:11:09board seat, and your share of stocks.
01:11:11Or
01:11:13wait till tomorrow and let your board
01:11:15decide the fate of your company.
01:11:17Like I said, it's really all
01:11:19the same to me.
01:11:27Promise me,
01:11:29Serena, take over the company
01:11:31when you turn 28.
01:11:33And keep our legacy.
01:11:35I'm sorry, Mom.
01:11:37I'm tired.
01:11:43Don't do it, Serena!
01:11:45Jesse, what the hell are you doing?
01:11:47You keep me in a hotel room
01:11:49so you can force Serena to sign an acquisition contract?
01:11:51You gotta stop this, Alfred!
01:11:53It's been five years since you tried to
01:11:55take Serena's mother and make her
01:11:57sign a contract when she was dying of cancer.
01:11:59What, are you gonna do it again?
01:12:01I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:12:03This is fucking business and I'd do it all over again
01:12:05for my company!
01:12:07Cooper, you got it?
01:12:09Loud and clear.
01:12:11I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:12:13This is fucking business and I'd do it all over again
01:12:15for my company!
01:12:19Now I'm gonna bring that recording to the board of my company
01:12:21and we're gonna see if your business
01:12:23and strategies align with us.
01:12:25But if you want my advice,
01:12:27you better start packing.
01:12:29How dare you? I am your uncle!
01:12:31This is our family business!
01:12:33Not anymore. I'm CEO of Ross Construction
01:12:35and we're gonna do this my way.
01:12:37You know what?
01:12:39You better leave now before I make you.
01:12:43Hold on.
01:12:45You're forgetting something.
01:12:53What?
01:13:07Serena, Serena, I can explain.
01:13:09No, don't tell me that you can explain.
01:13:11Weren't you lucky that I happened to stumble
01:13:13into the wrong hotel room that one night?
01:13:15I poured my heart out to you
01:13:17and you've been lying to me this whole time.
01:13:19The marriage,
01:13:21the house,
01:13:23even this meeting, all for what?
01:13:25So you can earn my business,
01:13:27redeem your name,
01:13:29pretend that you're some good person?
01:13:31No, none of that at all, actually.
01:13:33Then why did you do this?
01:13:35Because I fell in love with you
01:13:37five years ago.
01:13:45I didn't know anything about you,
01:13:47but I thought about you
01:13:49every single day
01:13:51for five years.
01:13:53It was winter.
01:13:55You got robbed
01:13:57and I gave you my coat.
01:13:59I thought I would never see you again.
01:14:01And then you walk into my hotel room.
01:14:03I was shocked.
01:14:05But then I realized that my family hurt you
01:14:07and how much you hated me.
01:14:09So you pretend
01:14:11to be my escort?
01:14:13What, to get close to me?
01:14:15To become my best friend?
01:14:19You can't do this to me, Jesse.
01:14:21You lied to me.
01:14:23You manipulated me. You created this
01:14:25fairy tale of us.
01:14:27You made me fall in love with somebody
01:14:29who doesn't even exist.
01:14:33Serena,
01:14:35did you really?
01:14:37Did you fall in love with me?
01:14:39No.
01:14:47Did you really fall in love with me?
01:14:49I can't. I can't do this, Jesse.
01:14:53I am sorry
01:14:55that I lied to you.
01:14:57You have every right to be mad.
01:14:59But I don't want
01:15:01to lose you again.
01:15:03And you know
01:15:05that everything that we have here
01:15:07is real.
01:15:09You know that.
01:15:11It's so much easier to hate you
01:15:13than to love you.
01:15:29It's so much easier to hate you
01:15:31than love you, Jesse.
01:15:37Serena, wait.
01:15:39It's done.
01:15:41I'm losing the company tomorrow.
01:15:43I'm just going to leave LA, okay?
01:15:45No, it's not.
01:15:47Because you never said it was.
01:15:49What are you talking about?
01:15:51I told myself to let you hate me
01:15:53and to let you go.
01:15:55But you never said it.
01:16:01I've been waiting for the right time
01:16:03to give you this.
01:16:07I know that you lost your home
01:16:09and you lost your mother
01:16:11and that it's very hard to believe in somebody again.
01:16:13But if you can change your mind,
01:16:15I can be your home.
01:16:23I'm still the same person that you fell in love with.
01:16:25And I can keep waiting for you.
01:16:27I've done it for five years.
01:16:29I can do it again.
01:16:37Jesse, I can't.
01:16:45Because I already proposed to you once.
01:16:47Now it's your turn.
01:16:51And you have to do it right.
01:16:59All right.
01:17:03Serena Monroe.
01:17:07Will you marry me?
01:17:09Again?
01:17:13Yes.
01:17:21I love you,
01:17:23Serena Monroe.
01:17:25I love you too, Jesse.
01:17:27Are there any more secrets
01:17:29that you need to tell me?
01:17:31Not anymore.
01:17:33I promise.
01:17:37Okay.
01:17:59All right.
01:18:01It's official.
01:18:03Robert and Carolyn Monroe
01:18:05and Len are no longer entitled
01:18:07to your company.
01:18:09How does it feel, Madam CEO?
01:18:11Freaking awesome.
01:18:17Oh.
01:18:19I have to go.
01:18:21Thank you, Len.
01:18:23You know, actually,
01:18:25why don't you just take the rest of the day off?
01:18:27Uh, sure.
01:18:29But why would I...
01:18:31I heard you were also
01:18:33having the day off.
01:18:35This woman, I swear.
01:18:55Okay, you can laugh all you want,
01:18:57but I am not getting pesto
01:18:59It costs $5,000.
01:19:01I know. I bought it for you.
01:19:03So it's your
01:19:05monthiversary as CEO.
01:19:07How are you feeling, Ms. Monroe?
01:19:09I am feeling
01:19:11excited,
01:19:13powerful,
01:19:15exhausted,
01:19:17and so, so, so hungry.
01:19:19Well, we can take care of that.
01:19:23Do you know that I am so happy for you?
01:19:25That you got your company back.
01:19:27And I am very proud of you, sweetheart.
01:19:31Am I still being too much, or...
01:19:33No, I think it's perfect.
01:19:39What are you thinking?
01:19:41I don't know.
01:19:43This just
01:19:45feels like home.
01:19:57Mother,
01:19:59you have to do something
01:20:01about that bitch.
01:20:03She kicked me and Daddy
01:20:05out of the company.
01:20:07This is all because she married
01:20:09that Jesse Ross.
01:20:11We almost had her
01:20:13and her company.
01:20:15The worst part is,
01:20:17Ken hasn't been picking up any of my calls
01:20:19or responding to any of my text messages.
01:20:21So he's probably with some new bitch.
01:20:23Tell me what to do.
01:20:25Tell me what to do.
01:20:27Stop crying and bitching.
01:20:29Turn on the TV.
01:20:31Last month, Ken Snyder
01:20:33accused his ex-fiance Serena Monroe
01:20:35of cheating.
01:20:37Turns out he was the one who cheated first.
01:20:39And we have photos to prove it.
01:20:45No!
01:20:55No!
01:20:57No!
01:20:59No!
01:21:01No!
01:21:03No!
01:21:05No!
01:21:07No!
01:21:09No!
01:21:11No!
01:21:13No!
01:21:15No!
01:21:17No!
01:21:19No!
01:21:21No!
