00:00I-I-I'm sorry.
00:26Good morning, Troublemaker.
00:28Well...
00:30I'm thinking maybe I'm way past the point of no return.
00:34I'm running traffic lights to spend a little time looking into your eyes.
00:40It's where I've been aching...
00:42So, so what happened?
00:44You don't remember?
00:46I remember...
00:48taking your phone...
00:50and...
00:52Oh my god.
00:54I should probably just sleep now.
00:56It's fine.
00:58Relax.
01:04So, um...
01:06How did I get here?
01:08Well, I had to bring you somewhere safe.
01:10Otherwise, you probably would have went on a rampage and ruined the entire engagement part.
01:14Oh my god.
01:16My boss is gonna kill me.
01:18Look, I-I'm so sorry for-for taking your phone and the mess.
01:22And if I cause any trouble, I promise I'll clear it all up.
01:24But right now, I really have to go.
01:28Actually, it's probably not gonna be that easy to fix.
01:32Well...
01:34What do you think?
01:36Fiancee?
01:38In a rare public appearance, Ethan, the youngest son of the Winston family, was spotted at an engagement party hosted by a family business partner.
01:48It was reported that he made a public statement declaring his engagement and left with his fiancee.
01:54So when did my grandson get engaged?
01:56Fiancee is the wedding planner of this event.
02:00You're done, Maya.
02:22What the hell were you thinking?
02:24The wedding planner showing up at the engagement party and stealing a spotlight?
02:28Do you have any idea what this means for a reputation?
02:30I'm so sorry.
02:31The honors for the next six months are cancelled.
02:34And now Tracy wants to sue.
02:37Do you have any idea how much that could cost us?
02:42But there is something you can do.
02:44Tracy said if you can find something extremely unique and make this the wedding of the century, she'll drop the case.
02:53Okay.
02:54The condition is the artist Moiré.
02:58You have to get him to collaborate on the design.
03:00But no one's been able to find Moiré for the past three years.
03:03How am I supposed to-
03:04Or?
03:06Or?
03:07You can pack up and leave the company.
03:09Are you okay, Grandma?
03:10Well, I might be okay if you bring the girl back.
03:23Listen, Ethan.
03:24You're my favorite and the only heir to the Winston family.
03:28I want to walk you down the aisle, not being old and sitting in a wheelchair.
03:34If you don't act soon, I'll just arrange for you to marry someone else.
03:38And I won't care if you like it or not.
03:40What?
03:50We need to stay engaged.
03:53What?
03:56Here's the deal.
03:57I need you, Maya, need to be my fiancé.
04:01Just pretend.
04:02No.
04:03I'm tired of the lies and deceit.
04:04The media's talking about you, right?
04:06You need to take responsibility for this.
04:09That doesn't mean I need to keep faking it.
04:11No, I need to get back to work.
04:13Please just leave my apartment.
04:14This could be the one lie that ends all lies.
04:23Out!
04:24All right.
04:25All right.
04:26Anything you want to just ask, I'll make it happen.
04:29Well, you know that artist that hasn't been seen in the public in three years?
04:34I need him to co-plan this wedding with me.
04:36So unless there's a magical way you can make him appear, then please just leave.
04:41What if I just happened to know this, Mr. Moore?
04:43Graduated from ENSBA in Paris, majored in art history and oil painting.
04:52A young American, right?
04:53I can bring Mr. Moore into you.
04:56But in exchange, you have to marry me.
05:01What?
05:03Do you really know him?
05:04Or is this just another lie?
05:06He's somewhat of a mystery figure in the art world.
05:09Oh, yeah.
05:10I met him when I was studying abroad in Europe.
05:12Given who I am?
05:13Getting in touch with him was never an issue.
05:15Look, I need to think about this.
05:18With that expression, I'll take it we have a deal.
05:20You have thirty minutes.
05:21Okay.
05:22I'm in.
05:23But if we're going to do this, we have to set some rules.
05:28Turn around.
05:29And the way you burst your hair from your face.
05:30And the way you smile.
05:31I can't wait to turn another page.
05:32And the way you smile.
05:33I can't wait to turn another page.
05:34And the way you smile.
05:35Did it really take you that long to decide?
05:36What?
05:37We still have time.
05:38Oh I guess people usually wait for me.
05:47Turn around.
05:55Did it really take you that long to decide?
05:58What? We still have time.
06:00Oh, I mean, I guess people usually wait for me.
06:03Okay, like I said, if we're going to do this, we have to have some rules between us.
06:09Rule number one, we don't get involved in each other's lives.
06:15Sure.
06:16Rule number two, no developing feelings for each other.
06:20And we can't, you know, we can't have no sex.
06:29Wow.
06:31Yeah, no problem.
06:33But we will need to act like you're my fiancé.
06:37So be staying at my place from now on.
06:39Moreover, I'll need to touch you.
06:42It's a necessary part of making this whole thing look real.
06:45Like this.
06:46The way your body moves when you dance.
06:58Like an ocean wave.
07:00We need people to think that we're a couple.
07:03See that car across the street?
07:06Even when I close my eyes.
07:08Everyone in town is watching our every move.
07:12But we have to sleep in different beds.
07:17I do.
07:18It's my honor to announce that I, Ethan Winston, am now engaged to Miss Maya Hart.
07:30Her wedding will take place in the near future.
07:43Wait here.
07:44I'll go get the car.
07:45Well, well, well.
07:46What do we have here?
07:47My old friend.
07:48Do you like the photos I took of you, Maya?
07:49Or should I call you future Mrs. Winston?
07:50You know what?
07:51I don't know what are you playing.
07:52But I'm sure when the truth gonna come out, you're gonna be down.
07:53It's none of your business.
07:54I'm a professional, so your wedding will go smoothly.
07:55But then just get out of my sight.
07:56Look at you, acting all tough.
07:57Just being engaged just for a few days.
07:58Who knows how long you've been involved with it.
07:59You?
08:00You have no say here.
08:01Who was the one playing hide-and-seek in my house while I was on a work trip?
08:02No.
08:03No.
08:04No.
08:05No.
08:06No.
08:07No.
08:08No.
08:09No.
08:10No.
08:11No.
08:12No.

08:20No.
08:21No.
08:22No.
08:23No.
08:24No.
08:25No.
08:26No.

08:43No.
08:44No.
08:45No.
08:46No.
08:47No.
08:48No.
08:49No.
08:50No.
08:51No.
08:52No.
08:53Ah, just so you know, Ethan's real love is his ex, Skylar, the dancer.
09:00She's the only one who owns his heart.
09:04And you, you're just a little placeholder.
09:07You would lose, you know, your job.
09:09You would lose your precious boyfriends.
09:13Hansel would be nothing.
09:15Mind your business, Miss Mistress.
09:18Shouldn't you be worrying about Parker?
09:20Parker, who is he playing hide-and-seek with right now?
09:26I wouldn't do that if I were you.
09:30Oh, Maya, another guy to save your sorry ass, right?
09:41Hey!
09:44No more warnings, I told you that.
09:49Are you alright?
09:50She's alright, now.
09:56Chris?
09:57It's been a while, Maya.
10:00It's been a while.
10:02Should probably step away from my friend as well.
10:11Do you know who I am?
10:14Chris, why didn't you tell me you were back?
10:16Who's this?
10:17Oh, this is my childhood neighbor, Chris.
10:21We've known each other forever.
10:23He just got back from studying abroad.
10:25Just a neighbor, huh?
10:26You used to chase me around like a little sucker, didn't you?
10:30You used to say when you grew up, you'd marry me.
10:32Remember?
10:35Maya, your neighbor has a really great sense of humor, doesn't he?
10:38Um, hey neighbor, that's a really silly story from your childhood, but, uh, I'm her fiance now, so, you know.
10:45Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and now please welcome our sponsor, Mr. Winston, who will unveil the highlight of our exhibition.
10:52You should get a closer look from this.
10:54Oh, good.
10:55Woo!
11:02It's my honor to unveil this for all of you tonight.
11:05This painting is done by an artist who has been in seclusion for the last three years.
11:10Well, this is his declaration of return.
11:13I present to you all...
11:16Rebirth.
11:20Rebirth.
11:22This artist is none other than Noiré.
11:30He's also mentioned that he will be collaborating with another designer who he admires very much.
11:35This will also be given to a beautiful woman here tonight.
11:40And she is.
11:48Is that Skylar?
11:50Skylar the dancer?
11:51She's Ethan's ex.
11:52No wonder he threw this whole exhibition.
11:55Wow, look at her dress.
11:56That painting was definitely made for her.
11:59How romantic.
12:01Oh, it's been ages.
12:04Oh, you can't even fix your tie without me.
12:11What are you doing here?
12:12Isn't it normal for dancers to get inspired by art exhibitions?
12:15Do you remember that time that we...
12:18That's enough.
12:18That's enough.
12:20That's enough.
12:30We are over.
12:34Okay?
12:35Stay away.
12:35Don't lie to yourself, Ethan.
12:36Don't lie to yourself, Ethan.
12:37I know you.
12:38I am engaged, and you know them.
12:41She's just a plain girl.
12:43You'll need me, Ethan.
12:44We were meant to be together.
12:46We always were.
12:47I'm not sure what's going on here.
12:55That doesn't seem right.
12:57It's fine, Chris.
12:59He's just living his life.
13:01This is part of our marital dream.
13:04Maya, no matter what happens, you can always talk to me.
13:09Maya, look, this isn't what you think.
13:11I was just...
13:11I get it.
13:12We were busy.
13:19Shall I take you home, Maya?
13:22No.
13:23Neighbor.
13:23There's no need.
13:24Okay, she's my fiancée.
13:25I'll take care of her.
13:26Thanks.
13:27And what about your dancer ex-girlfriend, fiancée?
13:30Maya deserves someone better than a half-hearted playboy.
13:34Look, mine isn't an errand girl for a playboy like you.
13:38Treat her right.
13:39She has a better place to be.
13:41My number hasn't changed, Maya.
13:44Call me anytime you need.
13:49Hello, darling.
13:51I know we haven't met yet, but I know for sure that's what share it coming in to us today.
14:07Hey, big time planner.
14:09Noire asked me to give this to you.
14:19This means a lot.
14:22About tonight, it...
14:23Look, it shouldn't be like this.
14:25Now, I've held up my end of the bargain, and I really think...
14:29What?
14:33I think you should do your part, too.
14:35In public, I mean.
14:36You shouldn't be getting that close to other men.
14:41Chris, the neighbor boy, huh?
14:43Wait a minute.
14:44This is just an act, remember?
14:46We said we wouldn't interfere with each other.
14:47We said we wouldn't interfere with each other.
14:49All I'm saying is, in the eyes of the public, this could look bad for us.
14:53Bad for us.
14:54Oh, come on.
14:55Even I can feel the chemistry between you and your ex-girlfriend from 50 yards away.
14:59No, okay, it's not what you...
15:00No, I know!
15:01It's not what I think.
15:02I'm not Skylar.
15:04She's beautiful and infamous, and you have history.
15:07He's everything I'm not.
15:09Of course you'd choose her.
15:10Oh, wait, why should I be surprised?
15:12It felt like it's the first time this has happened to me.
15:14Look, I'm not the playboy that Chris says I am, okay?
15:16And I'm certainly not doing what your ex-boyfriend Parker's doing.
15:19I chose you.
15:20I feel it, and it's getting stronger every day, so don't make assumptions about it.
15:23Oh, really?
15:24So what, am I just making it up, then?
15:27Well, maybe we should stop the show and let the truth come out.
15:33No one touches my fiancée.
15:42No one touches my fiancée.
15:44No one touches my fiancée.
16:02Did I go too far?
16:10Breaking news.
16:11Young CEO holds art exhibit for ex-girlfriend.
16:15The famous dancer Skylar, and spends big on her paintings.
16:20Rumors of reconciliation.
16:22Fiancée may be left in the dust.
16:25Can we talk, please?
16:32If you want to call at the wedding, you can do it any time.
16:37So your engagement's not real, it's just a deal?
16:41Technically, yes.
16:44Hey, no matter how you look at it, he's complicated.
16:50As a heir to a big family, your feelings will never be his top priority.
16:53You can't rely on these types of love and relationships.
16:56Too many things get in the way in their life.
16:58I know, but Chris-
16:59Also, his past, and maybe even present with Skylar?
17:03The right man would never leave you in tears.
17:05You know that.
17:07You deserve better.
17:09Thank you, Chris.
17:11I get it, but he's already done so much for me.
17:14A deal's a deal, and I agree to it.
17:16I have to do my part.
17:18Even if it's just a fake engagement.
17:20Besides, all we really have to do is pretend to be a couple in public.
17:33Ethan, we need to talk-
17:35Ethan, what are you doing here?
17:37D-
17:38The devil turns out he says he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out he turns out to him.
17:50Skylar?
17:52What are you doing here?
17:53You never changed the locks.
17:56Don't you want to know why I'm back?
17:58Not really.
17:59What was happening?
18:00Well, why was he taking the place here?
18:05What happened?
18:07That accident. I got hurt.
18:12I can't dance again.
18:14My career is over, Ethan.
18:22I know I messed up in the past, but I never ever stopped loving you.
18:27The past is in the past. Let's move forward.
18:30I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here. I'm sorry for interrupting something important.
18:40Maya, wait!
18:42Let her go.
18:43What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:46Ethan, this isn't like you. I know this engagement is fake.
18:50Whether it's real or fake is none of your concern.
18:54Maya! Maya!
19:00Hi, Tracy. It's me.
19:06I'm in.
19:09Let's do this.
19:14Breaking news. Heir of the Winston family, Ethan, has reconciled with his ex-girlfriend, Skylar.
19:20Former chief dancer of a dance troupe. Seemed to hint at her indifference towards the engagement, Todd. She rarely mentions Ethan.
19:29I'm in.
19:30I'm in.
19:31I'm in.
19:32I'm in.
19:33I'm in.
19:34I'm in.
19:35I'm in.
19:36I'm in.
19:37I'm in.
19:38Brim?
19:39So, I want you to bring Maya tomorrow.
19:42I have a few things I want to discuss with you.
19:46No way. Really?
19:47That is exactly what happened when I went to Europe.
19:58Oh, Ethan. You're here. Look who's back.
20:02Skylar, what are you doing here?
20:07It's grandmother's birthday. You know, she's always been a grandmother to me.
20:13I heard about her health scare and I wanted to come by and check on her. That's okay, right?
20:18Happy birthday, Grandma.
20:19Happy birthday, Grandma.
20:20Thank you, darling.
20:21Having someone who loves you and gets you.
20:25Looking after you for the rest of your life is the best birthday present I could have.
20:34You know I'm the one that's meant for you.
20:46I knew you'd come.
20:47Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't come for you.
20:51I knew you'd come.
20:53Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't come for you.
20:57At least I kept my word.
21:04Happy birthday, Ada.
21:06Thank you, darling. You look stunning.
21:10You're always so glamorous, Ada. And you shine in us.
21:13Oh.
21:17Everyone, if I may, a toast.
21:25It's Ada's birthday and not only is she the pillar of the Winston family, but she is a loving grandmother and the most remarkable woman.
21:33She always puts her family first and is a great support to us all.
21:39There's also a couple with us today.
21:43And Ethan's happiness is always what Ada wanted.
21:47And this is truly a double blessing.
21:51Cheers.
21:52We need to talk.
22:03There's nothing to talk about.
22:06Oh, my God. I am so sorry.
22:09Let me help you with that.
22:13No, it's fine. You know, I'll do it myself.
22:15I'll do it myself.
22:31Ada looks great tonight, doesn't she?
22:33What do you want, Skylar?
22:37You still don't get it.
22:41Our relationship ended three years ago.
22:44Can I remind you that you're the one who broke it off?
22:47Oh, come on. Is this about Maya? Your fake fiancée?
22:51Are you really falling?
22:52Yes. Okay, yes. And for the hundredth time, we are over.
22:56Okay, Maya is the only one I want.
23:01Can we, can we, can we save her?
23:05Maya.
23:11This must be the same place.
23:18In fact, how much did you have to drink?
23:27I...
23:29You didn't realize what you just did?
23:33I kiss my fiancée. What's wrong with that?
23:40Well, does kissing your fiancée always require getting his drunk?
23:43Yeah.
23:46I hate him.
23:48He plays with my heart.
23:50I don't think it's hate.
23:57I really don't.
24:04The way your body moves when you dance.
24:13I...
24:15Oops.
24:16Up, uh...
24:18Umm...
24:20who...
24:21We'll talk tomorrow, okay?
24:44Lie down for a bit.
24:46I'm going to go say goodbye to Grandma and we'll head home.
24:51Grandma, I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you tonight, but I have to take
25:03Maya home now.
25:05This does not look like the Ethan I know.
25:11There's some people causing trouble, but don't worry, I'll handle it.
25:14I don't know what's going on between you and Maya, but remember, you don't hurt people
25:19you love.
25:20I know, Grandma.
25:25I believe you'll make the right choice.
25:29Alright, Maya, let's go home.
25:36Maya?
25:38Maya!
25:39Oh, it's been ages.
25:48Oh, you can't even fix your tie without me.
25:50I spotted you, even with the coat hiding there.
26:03Nice spot in here, even with the coat hiding there, huh?
26:15This is what happens when you get too close to me and you listen.
26:20Maya, Maya, are you okay?
26:32I don't know.
26:33Watch out!
26:34Maya!
26:35Maya!
26:36Maya!
26:37Maya!
26:38Maya!
26:39Maya!
26:40Maya!
26:41Maya!
26:42Maya!
26:43Help!
26:43Help!
26:44Somebody help!
26:44God bless you.
26:46Easy.
26:47All right.
26:48One or two.
26:51One or two.
26:52One or two.
26:53Two or two.
26:54Two or three.
26:56When you are here next to me...
27:01How are you feeling?
27:03Is it painful?
27:05The doctor says I'll be fine.
27:08Have you had any issues with anyone recently?
27:10I mean, any idea who might have done this?
27:13The only issue I've had is with your jealous ex-girlfriend
27:17and my cheating lying client.
27:20Well, once you get better, I don't want you going out alone.
27:24Okay, even if it's just to meet up with Chris.
27:27Didn't we say we wouldn't get involved in each other's lives?
27:30This feels a lot like restriction to me.
27:33Yeah, I know.
27:35Okay, but special times require special measures.
27:38I just want you to be with me and be safe, that's all.
27:41Oh, really?
27:43Because if I remember correctly, the entire reason I'm lying here
27:46is because I got too close to you.
27:54I love...
28:04Mmm.
28:05Got it.
28:09Maya Maya.
28:11The girl who survives it all.
28:13You want to get everything you want.
28:17Maya Maya, it's always Maya.
28:25Smarter, more successful.
28:28Island Parker, but somehow she gets Ethan.
28:31Skyler's supposed to break them up, but...
28:34Well.
28:35I'm at a wrong move here.
28:43Skyler.
28:44It's all taken care of.
28:47Our partnership is still all.
28:50Mr. Noire, this is Maya.
29:05Thank you so much for helping out.
29:07It's an honor to collaborate with you.
29:09I've been a loyal fan of yours for years.
29:12I would love to have your insight on a couple of things, but that's okay.
29:17To you, what is love?
29:20What does it mean to you?
29:23Hi, Maya.
29:25Tell me.
29:26What is love to you?
29:28To be honest, I'm a little confused about it right now.
29:32If two people are together as an act at the beginning,
29:36would it turn into real feelings a long way?
29:39And so, how do I know what my true feelings are?
29:45For me, I'll be right back.
29:47As you go again, I'll be right back.
29:48I'll be right back.
29:49Wow.
29:51I'm not going to be right back.
29:53For me, I'll be right back.
29:54Mr. Noire, this is the wrong way.
29:55I love to act with me.
29:56I feel like the truth is ugly.
29:57I have no idea.
29:58Noire, I know.
29:59I'm not going to get that right, Ethan.
30:00I'm not going to be right back.
30:01Okay, what do I know?
30:02Are you right back in the house?
30:03Noire, butomme?
30:04I know nothing.
30:05Let me know.
30:07I feel like I'm not going to die.
30:08You know that.
30:10And so...
30:11story is what is not going to be right into it.
30:12I feel like this one.
30:13Explain yourself.
30:16I don't know what you're talking about.
30:18I'm gonna let it slide this time, but stay away from Maya.
30:26Fuck.
30:43Hey, you're up.
30:51Are you feeling better?
30:53Yeah.
30:54You were in a hurry.
30:56Where'd you go?
30:57Um, I had to go to the office.
30:59Something urgent came up, and it needed to be handled.
31:05Liar.
31:07I see.
31:09With everything that happened, you must be so busy.
31:11Um, no, it's fine.
31:13Ada's been helping, so.
31:18Are you sure you're all right?
31:21I'm fine.
31:23I'm just tired of living in lies.
31:27What if I just happened to know this, Mr. Noir?
31:29Just a big fan.
31:30I really admire his work.
31:35This means a lot.
31:38Look, Maya, there's some things that I need to tell you.
31:41Huh.
31:45Hello?
31:51This guy moves in trouble.
31:53This guy moves in trouble.
32:00This guy moves in trouble.
