00:00:00I, Elisa, a nobody in the workplace. Single since birth for 23 years. Never even held a man's hand, but last night I accidentally slept with my boss. He's a CEO. He's the kind of guy that you read about in novels. And he already has a woman in his heart.
00:00:22Hey, it's been a really long night. And I think it should be a longer night. You should come over. I'll see you soon.
00:00:40What do you mean by question mark? Because it used to be fun. I have good wine. I'm in room 1501. I'll see you soon.
00:00:52I'm coming.
00:01:04Mr. Hawthorne? What are you doing?
00:01:22It's been a long night.
00:01:23I'm in my way.
00:01:23I'm coming.
00:01:24Hello.
00:01:25You've got to be a nerd.
00:01:25Hello.
00:01:26Hi.
00:01:27Hi.
00:01:28I'm coming.
00:01:29I'm coming.
00:01:31I'm coming.
00:01:32I'm coming.
00:01:33Oh.
00:01:35Elisa!
00:01:36Hey, Mom.
00:01:37Please come home as soon as possible!
00:01:40I just received an order from the court
00:01:42since we are unable to repay the huge debt your father owed.
00:01:45Our house will be auctioned off to pay off the debt!
00:01:49We must move out of the house now!
00:01:51Don't worry, I'm gonna be right there.
00:02:01Oh, my God. Mom, are you okay?
00:02:05I'm fine, honey.
00:02:08I'm so sorry I couldn't save the house.
00:02:13Don't worry.
00:02:14As long as we're together,
00:02:16we'll get through this difficult time.
00:02:19I'm sorry.
00:02:22Is there anything else in there?
00:02:24No, this is it.
00:02:28One second, okay? I'll be right back.
00:02:31Hello?
00:02:32Elisa, where are you?
00:02:34Don't you remember where we were supposed to meet?
00:02:36In the conference room at 9.
00:02:38Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:40I'm so sorry,
00:02:41but something unexpected happened at home,
00:02:42and, um,
00:02:43if you could please just tell management that-
00:02:47Hello?
00:02:50No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:51Fuck, fuck.
00:02:52I just lost my house,
00:02:54and now I'm gonna lose my job, too?
00:02:57Where am I gonna find a million dollars?
00:03:03Elisa?
00:03:05Why are you crying?
00:03:07Um...
00:03:11Mr. Hawthorne, what are you doing here?
00:03:13Oh, I'm actually here for you.
00:03:14What?
00:03:15I need a marriage partner.
00:03:18Again, what?
00:03:19I need you to be my wife.
00:03:21Give it a thought.
00:03:25Mr. Hawthorne, I was...
00:03:28really drunk last night,
00:03:29and I can't remember how everything happened after,
00:03:31but you really don't-
00:03:32Look, I know some unfortunate things have happened in your family recently.
00:03:36This card has more than enough on it
00:03:40to pay off all your debts
00:03:42and make sure that your house doesn't get auctioned off.
00:03:45If you agree,
00:03:46we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:03:57Why do you want to help me?
00:03:59I told you.
00:04:00I need a wife.
00:04:02And you're the most suitable person.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:11It's for my family.
00:04:13I have no other way.
00:04:17Mr. Hawthorne?
00:04:19Thank you so much for helping me.
00:04:21I promise I will pay you back every cent as soon as I can.
00:04:24You don't pay me back more than happy.
00:04:28I'm gonna get back to work then.
00:04:30Uh, Ronan will actually...
00:04:32take you back.
00:04:33And I'll give you my home address, so...
00:04:35you can move in tonight.
00:04:36Your home address?
00:04:39We're legally married.
00:04:41What's wrong with the living guy?
00:04:43Right.
00:04:44This is a deal.
00:04:45I can't just take the money and give nothing in return.
00:04:48I can get myself to work.
00:04:50And...
00:04:51I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:52I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:59Elisa.
00:05:00You're finally mine.
00:05:05Oh my god!
00:05:07I'm so sorry.
00:05:08It was reading and I didn't see you there.
00:05:10No worries, it's fine.
00:05:16Can I have your name?
00:05:17I'm Elisa.
00:05:19Yo!
00:05:21Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:25Alright.
00:05:29It's real?
00:05:30If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella.
00:05:33Alright, give it back.
00:05:34Then watch your mouth.
00:05:39You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:42It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:43Shh!
00:05:44We'll explain it to you later.
00:05:46Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne.
00:05:48You are the CEO's wife, so where is my pay rate?
00:05:52I couldn't help.
00:05:53We've known each other since middle school.
00:05:55I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:57Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:06:02Ms. Hartha's back!
00:06:03Hello, everyone.
00:06:19Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:22Thank you, Ms. Hartha.
00:06:23You are so very kind.
00:06:25It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:27Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:28I have to go see Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:06:31He must want to see me right now.
00:06:33Save a slice for me, honey.
00:06:36When do you think they will make their own relationship public?
00:06:39Probably soon.
00:06:41Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone,
00:06:44the code is 0903, Ms. Fred's birthday.
00:06:46Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:48Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne to be so romantic.
00:06:51He usually puts on a poker face.
00:06:53Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne.
00:06:54I'll change it with Mr. Hawthorne.
00:06:57Please don't talk about me.
00:06:59Okay.
00:07:09Okay.
00:07:130903.
00:07:17That's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:19If they love each other so much, then...
00:07:21It's okay.
00:07:23Whatever it is.
00:07:24He's just not getting his money back.
00:07:34Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:37Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:39Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should talk-
00:07:40Call him in.
00:07:41What should I do?
00:07:42Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:07:44I know that we did that before, but...
00:07:46I was drunk.
00:07:47If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:07:48But...
00:07:49If I don't...
00:07:50What should I do?
00:07:51Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:07:53I know that we did that before, but...
00:07:55I was drunk.
00:07:56If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:07:57If I don't-
00:07:59Melissa.
00:08:00You okay?
00:08:01I'm fine.
00:08:02Thank you for asking.
00:08:03It's okay.
00:08:04It's okay.
00:08:06Anyway.
00:08:07He's fine.
00:08:08I don't know what it is.
00:08:09I've been talking about.
00:08:11I've been thinking this way.
00:08:12What should I do?
00:08:13Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:15I know that we did that before, but...
00:08:16I was drunk.
00:08:18If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:08:20But...
00:08:22If I don't...
00:08:23I'm not ready.
00:08:36I was just going to turn off the light.
00:08:40What did you think I was going to do?
00:08:42Oh yeah, no.
00:08:44Don't get me wrong, I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:48Elisa, I don't want some one-night stand.
00:08:51I want to be your everything.
00:08:58Matthew, why did the negotiations with the Sunlight Group fail?
00:09:01It's Elisa's fault.
00:09:03If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:06How is it her fault?
00:09:08Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:10I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne entering her hotel room the night before Elisa skipped work.
00:09:18What?
00:09:19What did you say to me?
00:09:21It is absolutely true.
00:09:22Not only did she cause our failure, but she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:36Matthew, you know how important our negotiations with the Sunlight Group is.
00:09:41And since it is your subordinates' fault, you know what to do, right?
00:09:48Rest assured, I know what to do.
00:09:51Last night, with Lucian laying beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:02Elisa, is this how you do your job?
00:10:05Look what trouble you brought us.
00:10:07It is because of you that we lost the project with Sunlight Group.
00:10:10You're fired.
00:10:10Mr. Clark, I was only in charge of the initial budget, not the negotiations.
00:10:16I don't understand how this could be my fault.
00:10:18Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:23Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:27That's because something unexpected happened at home, but I called in for a leave of absence.
00:10:30So what?
00:10:31We needed you last minute, and you weren't there.
00:10:34Now that the project has failed, if you're not to blame, who else would it be?
00:10:39I was absent that day, yes, but I prepared the initial budget ahead of time,
00:10:44so there is no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:10:49Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:10:51Elisa, take a closer look.
00:10:53What did you write in the project budget?
00:10:59No.
00:11:00No, no, no, this isn't right.
00:11:01I wrote 50 million.
00:11:03How did it become 5 million?
00:11:09For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:14Elisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:18Looks like Elisa is in trouble.
00:11:21Elisa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:23How could she make such an error?
00:11:25Keep it down.
00:11:26Can't you see?
00:11:27They're just trying to find someone to take responsibility.
00:11:33Wait.
00:11:34I have evidence to prove that my budget was correct.
00:11:39Evidence?
00:11:40Then why don't you show it to everyone?
00:11:42I have the dated source files on my computer that can show that I had the right numbers.
00:11:47No.
00:11:48No, they were right here.
00:11:49How could they be gone?
00:11:50Elisa, are you joking?
00:11:53Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:55Elisa, are you suggesting that Mr. Clark and Ms. Hart are conspiring against you?
00:12:01You better pack up and leave now before making a bigger fool out of yourself.
00:12:05What are you saying?
00:12:06I've seen the budget Elisa made.
00:12:09We all checked it as a team.
00:12:13Obviously, someone tampered with it.
00:12:15Are you saying that we are framing her?
00:12:17At the very least, she deserves a good reason to be fired.
00:12:21Fine.
00:12:22If anyone else can vouch for Elisa, I can give her a second chance.
00:12:27Anyone?
00:12:27Are you there when we checked that time?
00:12:32I don't remember.
00:12:37Since there's no one, Elisa, would you like to walk yourself out?
00:12:41Or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:44This better be something important.
00:12:50Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:53So?
00:12:54Can't Summer handle it?
00:12:55She started it.
00:12:56Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:13:01Let's go.
00:13:03Amelia, it's okay.
00:13:05They clearly just want someone to blame for this entire thing.
00:13:08So what should we do then?
00:13:09Allow them to push all the blame onto you?
00:13:13Ms. Hart?
00:13:15Mr. Clark?
00:13:16I'll step down from my position.
00:13:18But I will never admit to mistakes that I didn't make.
00:13:21I will get down to the bottom of this.
00:13:23You're shameless.
00:13:24The evidence is right here.
00:13:26Where do you get the nerve to deny it?
00:13:28Besides the project book, there's also surveillance footage.
00:13:31And there are computer backend logs.
00:13:33All of these will prove that my budget was correct.
00:13:36And I will investigate this until the end.
00:13:37There is no need for an investigation.
00:13:42You have already been fired.
00:13:45Since you refuse to leave,
00:13:48Security?
00:13:49Drag her out.
00:13:57Elisa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:14:01You'll never set foot in Hawthorne Group ever again.
00:14:07Summer?
00:14:09What are you doing?
00:14:13Why is he here?
00:14:15Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:17Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:20Let her go.
00:14:22What's going on with these two?
00:14:24Am I fired or not?
00:14:26Could it be I'm just a pawn in their game?
00:14:29Care to explain what's going on?
00:14:30Well, Elisa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her.
00:14:35But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work.
00:14:38So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:41Fired for what?
00:14:42Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:14:44The negotiations with the Sunlight Group failed due to Elisa's mistake.
00:14:48We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:14:50You set me up with some half-baked plan.
00:14:53Tried to fire me and then called security.
00:14:55Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:14:58Elisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne?
00:15:02Lucian, see?
00:15:03She won't admit her mistakes and she even questions you in public.
00:15:07Oh, God, now I'm really fired.
00:15:13Elisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:15:16She has to be fired now.
00:15:21I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:24Pitying her?
00:15:25You're an employee too.
00:15:26Mind your own business.
00:15:29Elisa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:32Elisa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means?
00:15:35Hurry up and leave.
00:15:36Of course Lucian is on Summer's side.
00:15:39I'm just his wife out of nowhere.
00:15:43Surely I'm no match for his lover.
00:15:51Hold on.
00:15:56Did I tell you to leave?
00:15:57You're not angry?
00:15:59Why would I be angry?
00:16:00The company needs to find out who's responsible for Sunrise Group project first.
00:16:04Ronan, take charge of that.
00:16:05Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:16:07So what you're saying is I'm not fired.
00:16:10At least for now.
00:16:13Lucian, Elisa not only made mistakes on this project, but she was absent from work without
00:16:17permission and she defied you in public.
00:16:19Summer, I'll handle company policy, okay?
00:16:21But we never, ever fire an employee for no reason.
00:16:27I, I agree with Lucian.
00:16:31Matthew, I told you to wait till the investigation was done, but you insisted that the results
00:16:35were clear.
00:16:37Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:16:39Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:41Is Lucian helping me?
00:16:43But as a CEO, he needs to do things fairly in front of his employees.
00:16:47This proves nothing.
00:16:49Elisa, may I have a few words with you?
00:16:50Elisa, you are damn lucky this time.
00:16:58But you won't be for the next time.
00:16:59Mr. Hawthorne, if this is about the project, then I'm so sorry that you were bothered.
00:17:14Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:18Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:19The next time something like that happens, come see me and let me handle it.
00:17:24You're so busy.
00:17:25I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:27We're married.
00:17:32You can do whatever you want.
00:17:34We're at the office.
00:17:36Don't fool around.
00:17:37Fool around?
00:17:38Well, that's not the proper thing, since we're married.
00:17:43Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:17:49Even while we're at work?
00:17:51That's not necessarily what I mean.
00:17:55Well, if that's all, Mr. Hawthorne, I guess I'll be going back to work.
00:17:58Elisa.
00:18:07Remember my words.
00:18:09Stay away from that girl.
00:18:15Elisa, when you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office,
00:18:18Amelia!
00:18:19I can't really understand the data over here.
00:18:22Can you help me, please?
00:18:28Ms. Hart, may I help you?
00:18:32You are still under investigation.
00:18:34Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:38But I was just looking over the project budget for the next thing.
00:18:41Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:44Can't you see the trash is full?
00:18:46Clean it.
00:18:48Ms. Hart, I'm an analyst.
00:18:51I'm not an intern.
00:18:52What?
00:18:54Are you defying your superior?
00:18:55Someone is really ignorant.
00:18:57She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:18:59Now she's defying her superior.
00:19:01Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:03Right?
00:19:04Ms. Hart is not just a daughter of a noble family.
00:19:07She also has an unusual relationship with our president.
00:19:10It would be in your best interest to help Ms. Hart with the trifle.
00:19:14Stop being ungrateful.
00:19:16Elisa, I can have you fired for defying your superior.
00:19:20So you better choose wisely.
00:19:22You're right.
00:19:23I like my job, and I'm going to become an excellent executive in my dream company.
00:19:29Fine.
00:19:31I'll do it.
00:19:39Better to bend than break, huh?
00:19:42It doesn't matter.
00:19:43Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:48Ms. Hart?
00:19:49Your coffee?
00:19:50Hand it to me.
00:19:51Oh my god, this coffee's so hot, it almost burned me alive.
00:20:03Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:20:05Are you okay?
00:20:06Don't you know I only drink ice Americano?
00:20:08Who hired you anyway?
00:20:10I'm so sorry.
00:20:11I will go buy you one right now.
00:20:12Can't you see there's coffee on the floor?
00:20:14Clean it up.
00:20:15Now.
00:20:15Now.
00:20:16Who told you you could mop the floor with that?
00:20:24If you damage the floors, can you afford to pay for them?
00:20:28How exactly would you like me to mop the floor, Ms. Hart?
00:20:31With a cloth on your hands and knees, inch by inch.
00:20:36Summer, don't you think you're going a little too far?
00:20:38What, can't handle it?
00:20:40You could always quit.
00:20:47Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:20:53Even while we're at work?
00:20:56Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:21:01Uh-huh.
00:21:01Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:05Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:07Let's pay you to visit first.
00:21:09He was just departing with Mrs. Hawthorne and he's already so eager to see her.
00:21:12He's completely in love for that.
00:21:13I'm sorry.
00:21:17Ms. Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:24I didn't do it, Off-Part.
00:21:25Elisa, when you were seducing Lucian when I was away, have you ever thought of today?
00:21:33I didn't seduce him.
00:21:35You didn't!
00:21:36Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:39You didn't!
00:21:40If you were to seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:21:44Summer, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:48Summer, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:50Lucian!
00:21:51Elisa, are you alright?
00:21:52Elisa is still under investigation, right?
00:21:54She's not suitable for working on company projects, so I had her doing simpler tasks like fetching me coffee.
00:22:00But she spilled the coffee on purpose.
00:22:02That isn't true.
00:22:03It doesn't matter anyway, I don't blame her for it.
00:22:06But she insisted on wiping it up.
00:22:07I stepped on her by accident.
00:22:09I was about to apologize to her.
00:22:12Is that so?
00:22:14Elisa, is that actually what happened?
00:22:15Lucian is in love with Summer.
00:22:17Even if I told the truth, would he believe me?
00:22:21Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:24Come with me to my office.
00:22:27Come.
00:22:29Why on earth did Lucian call Elisa to his office again?
00:22:33I must find out.
00:22:40Have a seat.
00:22:43Your hands hurt.
00:22:44You need a bandage.
00:22:45It's really fine.
00:22:47I can just go home and...
00:22:49No, no, I got it all right here.
00:22:50Have a seat.
00:22:55All right, let's see.
00:22:58You know, Summer is competent.
00:23:00But she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:03I can transfer you to another department.
00:23:05If you can't bear her.
00:23:07Maybe mine.
00:23:08So we can spend more time together.
00:23:09No, no, I'm fine in the business department.
00:23:13Elisa, you're my wife.
00:23:15I don't want you to be bullied anymore.
00:23:17Stop pretending like you don't know she only does that because she's in love with you.
00:23:21Okay, last step.
00:23:26Okay.
00:23:26Just don't let this hand touch water for a little bit.
00:23:28Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:23:32It's just the two of us.
00:23:34You can call me by my name.
00:23:36Well, we're at work.
00:23:37I thought I shouldn't.
00:23:38Yeah, why shouldn't you?
00:23:39Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:23:41And why do you keep defending me?
00:23:44Do you really not know why?
00:23:46We've known each other since high school, but he's always kind of ignored me.
00:23:51Hasn't he always had a thing for Summer?
00:23:53Or could it be that everyone has been wrong all along?
00:24:02Bloody Elisa, you sure are good at playing naive.
00:24:07I must find a way to teach you a lesson.
00:24:11A reunion party?
00:24:13The gods are favoring me.
00:24:16Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:24All right, it's ready.
00:24:27How many slices do you want?
00:24:29Mom, what's wrong?
00:24:30Elisa, isn't our house supposed to be auctioned off by the court to pay off our debts?
00:24:37Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:24:40Um...
00:24:40Well, I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:24:48What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:24:52Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:24:58Well, Mom...
00:25:01You don't have to worry about it.
00:25:03It's okay.
00:25:04Elisa.
00:25:04Elisa.
00:25:05What's up?
00:25:05Hey.
00:25:06Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:09What's up?
00:25:10There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:14They notified us in the group, but I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond.
00:25:18So I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:20What?
00:25:20It's been ages.
00:25:22Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:25Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:28Just leave it over there.
00:25:37How about we grab a drink tonight?
00:25:39I know a good place.
00:25:40I actually have plans tonight.
00:25:42If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:45Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:47Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:25:49Please leave.
00:25:54Hold on.
00:25:55Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:25:56Summer, how many ways do I have to stay here?
00:25:58I have to say this.
00:25:59I'm busy.
00:26:00Leave.
00:26:01Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:04But ever since Elisa came, you'll become colder and colder.
00:26:09Elisa, I won't let you off easily.
00:26:16I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:20Is he going?
00:26:21Something on your mind?
00:26:22It's not a big deal, but there's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:26Are you going?
00:26:28Are you going?
00:26:30I don't know.
00:26:31Emilia made a good point that we don't really see each other that often.
00:26:34Thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:36Um, you know what?
00:26:38I actually have a meeting.
00:26:40I think I'll pass.
00:26:41Okay.
00:26:42Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:43I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:26:46You really don't have to do that.
00:26:48And I know it's far, so take this.
00:26:51Lucian, it's...
00:26:53Lucian, it's...
00:26:54That's way too expensive.
00:26:56I'm just going to take the subway.
00:26:58Elisa, I'm capable of offering you a better life.
00:27:01Why would you take the subway?
00:27:03Consider this a gift.
00:27:05Lucian is acting like he actually likes me.
00:27:09What game is he playing?
00:27:11Come on.
00:27:12Take it.
00:27:13You're just giving this to me?
00:27:17Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:19Legally speaking, what's mine is yours.
00:27:22Well, thank you, then.
00:27:29This is a customized version.
00:27:31Probably cost millions.
00:27:33Jesus, Elisa.
00:27:34If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:37Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:27:41You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:27:44He does treat me well, though.
00:27:47You know all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:50I don't know.
00:27:51I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:53Maybe it's, um...
00:27:55A misunderstanding or a coincidence?
00:27:58I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer.
00:28:01I don't think he's into her.
00:28:03No, that's just because he's trying to keep the down low at work.
00:28:06Well, even if he were trying to keep it that way...
00:28:09Do you know how that saying goes?
00:28:11We can try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes can speak.
00:28:16The way he looks at Summer, it doesn't feel right.
00:28:19Do you know what I mean?
00:28:20I have absolutely no idea what you mean because you sound crazy.
00:28:23You...
00:28:24Oh, yeah, I'm done.
00:28:25You're so mean.
00:28:26I can't.
00:28:27Well, we're late, so we have to go.
00:28:28Okay.
00:28:29Hello, everyone.
00:28:30Long time no see.
00:28:31I'm so sorry we're late.
00:28:32So it's Elisa.
00:28:33What is it?
00:28:34The poor student back then is putting airs now?
00:28:36Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:28:38Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:28:40Alyssa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, aren't you?
00:28:45Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:28:48Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:28:53Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:28:58Alyssa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, aren't you?
00:29:03Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:29:05After all this year, she still is rich of poverty.
00:29:10Hey, don't say such words.
00:29:12What if she's doing well and busy with work?
00:29:16Maybe she didn't mean to be late.
00:29:18Her? She's probably a low-level employee. How well could she be doing?
00:29:22What do you mean by that?
00:29:24Alyssa and I were just...
00:29:28Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:29Although it's been years since we graduated, she's only been more gorgeous.
00:29:33Summer is both the daughter of the noble family and Mr. Hoffman's childhood friend.
00:29:39I bet Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:42Summer, come on, sit next to me.
00:29:44I've reserved the main seat for you.
00:29:49Sorry I'm late. Traffic was terrible.
00:29:53Never mind. It's our honor to have you.
00:29:55Summer, did you buy a new sports car?
00:29:58Not really. I just picked this one out of the garage because I was in a hurry.
00:30:03I'm actually tired of driving it I haven't used in.
00:30:06A sports car? That's something I can never afford.
00:30:09It's not that much. It's only a few hundred thousand.
00:30:14Wow, Summer surely is rich. Such an expensive car but it's like nothing to her.
00:30:20Naturally, don't you know who Summer is? Such a lottery car and nothing but a toy to her.
00:30:27She can have as many as she wants. A bunch of snot.
00:30:32Elisa, what car did you drive here?
00:30:38She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car? She must be taking the subway.
00:30:43What, does she race? That's the reason?
00:30:45Elisa, the subway will soon stop running. Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:30:50Oh Summer, you're still so kind-hearted. But how could somebody as low as her be riding in your luxury car?
00:31:00Be careful not to get her power distance all over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:04What nonsense are you talking about?
00:31:06Elisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:09She drove here. And a fancy new limited edition convertible. Something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:18Oh my god, what a big mouth.
00:31:21What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:24Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:27Elisa, did you rent a car just to show off at the reunion?
00:31:31It's, it's not rented.
00:31:33Not rented? Who are you trying to fool? You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars.
00:31:38Even if you're stuck yourself.
00:31:40Summer, is Hawthorne Group really that good? Even a little employee can afford such fancy convertible?
00:31:48Hardly. Although Hawthorne Group does have good benefits, it's not to that extent.
00:31:54With her salary, she could probably never afford it. Even if she worked herself to death.
00:32:00Elisa, we're all classmates here. You don't have to pretend to be rich.
00:32:04It probably costs half a year's salary to rent that car. It's best not to be so vain.
00:32:09What's the point of it? It's like the Cinderella. It will revert to its true form after midnight.
00:32:14Elisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:17Of course. Can that look disguised to be rich?
00:32:20I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:24Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start any time.
00:32:30Alright.
00:32:32Oh hey, by the way, my wife is having a class reunion party. Invite someone over with some fine wine. Let her have some fun.
00:32:37Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:32:39It was hardy to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:43Elisa, what's the point of lying? First you rent a car to show up at the reunion, and now you're making up a story about a wealthy husband? Are you living in a novel?
00:32:57Summer, aren't you colleagues with Elisa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:02It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry. Although I don't think so. If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:18So, Elisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:22Amelia, I think you should stay with Elisa. She got a bad influence on you.
00:33:31And what do you know? Elisa's husband.
00:33:36Okay, okay, you guys keep partying. Uh, Amelia? Let's go.
00:33:45Excuse me, these are the wines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:33:48Oh!
00:33:531982 Lafitte? But we didn't order these wines!
00:33:58I'll send you something though, since I can't be there.
00:34:00The wine is for me, right? He did say he would send something over. This is too much.
00:34:06Summer, this wine must be a special gift from Mr. Hawthorne for you.
00:34:10Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention from Mr. Hawthorne is Summer. Who else could it be?
00:34:16Who else could it be? This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:19Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match in school. And now they are still so affectionately.
00:34:25I wonder if they are going to get married soon.
00:34:27Of course! Summer is the future president's wife.
00:34:31Unlike someone.
00:34:33Oh Elisa, you see, you can never shake my bond with Lucien.
00:34:38Alright everyone, since Lucien sent over these wines, let's enjoy them together.
00:34:43But Summer, this is 1982 Lafitte.
00:34:47I think some people here are not worthy of drinking such fine wine.
00:34:52They say cast your pearls before swine. Even if you let Elisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good the Lafitte is.
00:34:57That's true!
00:34:59Depending to her would be a waste.
00:35:01You're all wrong.
00:35:03This wine is for me.
00:35:06This wine is for me.
00:35:08Did I hear that right? You said that this wine was given to you by Mr. Hawthorne?
00:35:13It's hilarious. Do you think you're a Mrs. Hawthorne?
00:35:17Mrs. Hawthorne is Summer.
00:35:20Are you daydreaming, Elisa?
00:35:22Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:25Elisa, are you jealous of me?
00:35:28Not only jealous of my family background and my job.
00:35:32Now you're jealous of my relationship with Lucien and want to claim the wines that are given to me.
00:35:36Don't you know that even if you try your hardest, what's not meant for you will never, never be yours?
00:35:44Oh Summer, don't ruin your mood over such a rat in the gutter. She's just a clown.
00:35:50How can you be so confident that the wine is for Summer?
00:35:53When Summer and Mr. Hawthorne started dating, Elisa was somewhere picking up trash.
00:36:00All you ever do is talk. Why the hell would I lie about something like this?
00:36:03Who knows? After all, you don't understand how the poor thinks.
00:36:07Hey waiter, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorne give these wines to?
00:36:13Yeah, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorne give these wines to?
00:36:17So that someone can start daydreaming.
00:36:20These wines were given to Mrs. Elisville by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:28What? This wine is from Lucien to Elisa?
00:36:30There must have been a mistake. Check it again. How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Elisa?
00:36:37Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucien to Miss Vale.
00:36:42How could this be? What makes Elisa so special that Lucien would treat her like this?
00:36:48Why are you all so silent now? You were so talkative and confident before?
00:36:55Is it because you're embarrassed?
00:36:57Okay, Emilia. Yeah, like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:37:00Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch. Could it be...
00:37:05Wait. What now, Lavinia?
00:37:08Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:12After being exposed about the car keys, you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us!
00:37:20Oh my god, Lavinia, you really are imaginative. You should become a screenwriter.
00:37:24Really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:25What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth and here I am stating the facts? How is that imagination?
00:37:34Lavinia, I think you've got a point.
00:37:38After all, lowly people are always so desperate for attention, right?
00:37:48Summer makes a valid point. Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:37:52How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:55Go home and page your actors.
00:37:58Elisa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:01If we hadn't gone to the same high school together, you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us, having a meal, let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:12You all have gone too far. This is supposed to be a class reunion party and you're all targeting Elisa. What are you trying to do?
00:38:20What are we trying to do?
00:38:22She needs to know her place instead of deceiving us with lies again and again. How dare she do it and not admit it.
00:38:30Yes, Summer, as the saying goes, ugly people make more trouble, but poor people make even more trouble.
00:38:39I couldn't care less what you think of me, but I didn't hire actors for this.
00:38:43We are all regular employees of the hotel. We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:38:48You must have misunderstood.
00:38:57Misunderstood?
00:38:59Elisa, you really are hopeless.
00:39:01You found some actors and got two bottles of fake wine thinking you could show off at the reunion party?
00:39:08This cheap wine is only good for making noise when it chatters.
00:39:20With this order from President Hawthorne, I don't have to worry about my performance for the rest of the month.
00:39:30I think I'm going to make Miss Vale a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:37Hello?
00:39:38No good, Mr. Carlos. Miss Vale is in trouble.
00:39:43What? I'm coming over.
00:39:45Damaging someone else's property?
00:39:47Lavinia, you have never been one to consider the consequences of doing whatever Summer tells you to do.
00:39:52How much can a big bottle of wine be worth?
00:39:55I'll pay her, and I'll pay for the remaining one, and I'll just buy them all so that she can smash them for fun.
00:40:02You're disgusting.
00:40:06We're ashamed to have you as a classmate.
00:40:09You don't deserve to be at our party.
00:40:11Security!
00:40:12Where's the security?
00:40:13Hi, my sis.
00:40:14Well, we don't know who this woman is, and I don't know how she got in here.
00:40:18And I want her out of here.
00:40:21Well, this is Summer Hart, fiance of the president of Hawthorne's group.
00:40:27And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:30I'm just silly.
00:40:32What are you doing?
00:40:36What is going on here?
00:40:38Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:45Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:49Yes, I did.
00:40:51In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:40:57That can't be possible.
00:40:59Her family went bankrupt years ago.
00:41:01She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:03Let me correct myself.
00:41:06Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest, not only is she our VVVIP customer, but the wine was arranged to be sent by President Hawthorne to her.
00:41:19Does my word count? Does it have any weight around here?
00:41:22Mr. Carlos, there must be some mistake.
00:41:26Well, the wine was personally arranged by President Hawthorne's personal assistant, Ronan.
00:41:33How could there possibly be a mistake?
00:41:36But Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:41:41How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:41:43You said that you would pay me back tenfold.
00:41:47Forget the tenfold. Just pay me the original price.
00:41:52Is Lucian going to be angry with me for this?
00:41:55Whatever. Let's just enjoy this moment.
00:41:57What's going on? Did President Hawthorne really send the wine to Elisa?
00:42:01I have no idea.
00:42:02Maybe Summer is just lying and she's being presumptuous about Mr. Hawthorne.
00:42:08So Summer, what's the best way for you to pay me back for this?
00:42:14You should have seen the look on Summer's face when she tried to swipe her card. It was hilarious.
00:42:20Oh my gosh, today we finally showed her who's boss.
00:42:24I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucian's dream girl.
00:42:27When he finds out I, the placeholder wife, I'm totally getting the...
00:42:31Legally, you are Mr. Hawthorne's wife.
00:42:34You are literally the President's wife.
00:42:36You have the high ground. What are you so afraid of?
00:42:39Come on, let's go drink and celebrate.
00:42:42You actually want a drink right now?
00:42:43Yes.
00:42:44No.
00:42:45Yes.
00:42:46No.
00:42:47Come on.
00:42:48I ain't okay, just my heart.
00:42:54Amelia, be honest with me.
00:42:56Okay?
00:42:57What is this?
00:42:58I don't...
00:42:59I don't understand why Lucian wanted to marry me.
00:43:02I don't know, it's just...
00:43:04I'm starting to feel like maybe he...
00:43:06Like...
00:43:08Is he actually someone who...
00:43:10I have something I have to attend to, so I'm going to be leaving now.
00:43:15What? Wait, no.
00:43:17Are you gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:20Are you real?
00:43:21Or am I dreaming?
00:43:22Well, no, you're not dreaming.
00:43:23I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:24They gossip?
00:43:25No.
00:43:26I don't want to go home.
00:43:27I want to drink more.
00:43:28Okay, so...
00:43:29You've had too much.
00:43:30You're gonna have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:31Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:43:33Come on.
00:43:34I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:43:47Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:43:52Come on.
00:43:54Alright, ready?
00:43:55Three, two, one.
00:43:57Okay, here we go.
00:43:58Okay, here we go.
00:44:05Mr. Hawthorne, here I am.
00:44:07Working overtime in the middle of the...
00:44:10Driving at this speed.
00:44:11It's going to be sort of nice.
00:44:14Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:18Christian, why did you marry me?
00:44:20Actually, I've been in love with you for ten years.
00:44:23Ever since I first saw you.
00:44:28Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe.
00:44:31And my father was also...
00:44:35Christian?
00:44:38Let your father rest in peace.
00:44:42You're all I've got now.
00:44:47Anyway,
00:44:49I didn't dare to show you even a sliver of my feelings for you.
00:44:52But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:44:55Could you give me a chance?
00:44:58Yeah.
00:45:01Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:10Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed.
00:45:12She's the worst!
00:45:14I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved
00:45:18and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:21Oh?
00:45:22What is it?
00:45:24What is it?
00:45:25Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:45:28If we tell her about Elisa seducing Mr. Hawthorne, then...
00:45:34Good idea.
00:45:36Mia is the matriarch of the Hawthorne family.
00:45:40She's very clever.
00:45:41But she never got involved in the family business and she's lived in seclusion abroad for years.
00:45:48Even I haven't spoken to her.
00:45:50All we need to do is send an anonymous text message to Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:45:55Then we just need to wait for Elisa to be expelled from the Hawthorne family.
00:45:59I went through great lengths to get this, but I never contacted her because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:12Do it for me. When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:16It's my pleasure to help you, Ms. Hart.
00:46:23I just hope that when you become the President's wife, you won't forget me.
00:46:30Of course not.
00:46:31Mr. Hawthorne, you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:46:43What does it say?
00:46:45It says there's a fix in our own Mr. Hawthorne.
00:46:48She turned him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:46:56Book me a flight. I need to go back immediately.
00:46:58Oh my god.
00:47:02Will you be late again today?
00:47:05Oh my god. I'm so sorry.
00:47:08I'm so sorry.
00:47:09You need to pay for this.
00:47:11Damn it, it was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:15I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:17Are you trying to leave me? Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation.
00:47:21Having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:24How did I...
00:47:25Okay. Here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:29Yeah.
00:47:30Well, are you gonna help me up?
00:47:34Are you okay?
00:47:35No, I am not okay. My leg really hurts.
00:47:37I don't think I'm gonna be able to walk.
00:47:39You need to take responsibility for this.
00:47:41Ow.
00:47:42How can a young girl be so bad?
00:47:43She hits somebody, doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:47:47She looks good, but she's on me on the inside.
00:47:49No, no, no. The truth is that...
00:47:51Never mind.
00:47:53Okay, uh...
00:47:54Ma'am, do you have your family's contact information?
00:47:57I can help you reach out to them.
00:47:59Family?
00:48:01Who are my family?
00:48:02I don't remember.
00:48:04I don't remember.
00:48:08You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:11Uh...
00:48:12I don't remember anything.
00:48:13What do I do?
00:48:14You don't remember where you live?
00:48:15I don't remember anything.
00:48:17Okay.
00:48:18What do I do?
00:48:19I...
00:48:20How about I take you to the hospital and then to a police station?
00:48:24No, no, no, no, no.
00:48:26I'm not going to a hospital or a police station.
00:48:28I don't trust anybody.
00:48:30Oh, no.
00:48:31I'm going to be late.
00:48:32But there's the weekly department meeting today.
00:48:34I can't take leave.
00:48:37Okay, uh...
00:48:38Ma'am, since you're not going anywhere,
00:48:40how about I take you to my company office?
00:48:43And then after work, I'll help you find your family.
00:48:46Fine.
00:48:47Because you need to take responsibility for this.
00:48:49You cannot leave my side.
00:48:52Okay.
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:54What is going on?
00:48:55Ouch!
00:48:56What?
00:48:57My mom's returned home?
00:48:58Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:48:59According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant,
00:49:01Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message about you
00:49:03and rushed back into the country.
00:49:05What was the text?
00:49:06It said,
00:49:07Mr. Hawthorne, you've been enchanted by seductress.
00:49:09She's always had a temper.
00:49:10Okay.
00:49:11I'm going to attend the business meeting personally.
00:49:13Are you afraid the Matriarch Robinson will suddenly come to our company?
00:49:17I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist.
00:49:19She'll probably be there.
00:49:20All right, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:21I'll arrange it right away.
00:49:26Love, please don't scare off the wifi I finally got.
00:49:31How did the matter about Matriarch Robinson go?
00:49:33Rest assured, Miss Hart.
00:49:35It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news
00:49:39and returned home immediately.
00:49:41Really?
00:49:42Then Alisa will be out of here soon.
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46Congratulations in advance, Miss Hart.
00:49:49Let's go.
00:49:50There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:49:52and Lucian will be there personally.
00:49:55We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:49:57Okay.
00:49:58Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:06If, if you get bored, you can just play on my phone.
00:50:09Okay, and we have to keep our voices down because people are working.
00:50:12Okay, I just want to know if I can play with this.
00:50:14Everyone?
00:50:15The weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:17Elisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:20Elisa really treats the company as her home, being anyone she likes.
00:50:25Seriously, so filthy. It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:50:33Elisa, our entire department is filled up with work and you?
00:50:38If we have to delay our work, are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:50:42Ms. Hart, this woman might have some trouble with her memory,
00:50:45so I'm only bringing her here temporarily.
00:50:48I was going to help her find her family after work
00:50:50and if she could just sit here for the time being,
00:50:52I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:50:55You mean you brought this old hag in off the street and she's also sick?
00:51:01I think you're crazy.
00:51:02Picking up an old hag like this, reeking of poverty, stinking up the whole office?
00:51:07Where did you find her? In a sewer?
00:51:09What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:14Yeah, Ms. Hart, I really think we should call a cleaner later to disinfect everywhere this lady's been.
00:51:20How could all of you be so cruel?
00:51:22Don't you all have families too?
00:51:25What if one of them had lost their memory and needed your help?
00:51:28This girl? She's interesting.
00:51:30I'm not the one who's sick.
00:51:31You're sick!
00:51:34Disgusting.
00:51:35Elisa, our company has rules and regulations.
00:51:38It's not a place for you to show your kindness.
00:51:42Get this old hag out of here now.
00:51:47Get this old hag out of here now.
00:51:49Ms. Hart, there is nothing in our company policy that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:51:54In fact, it encourages us to do so.
00:51:56Oh, there isn't.
00:51:57Well, now there is.
00:51:58Do you have a problem?
00:51:59Ms. Hart is a senior leader in our company.
00:52:03She can represent our president and now she just happened to add another company rule.
00:52:09Even if she asks security to drag you out, there's nothing you can do.
00:52:12Understand?
00:52:13How come the employees of the business department are like this?
00:52:19Lucien will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:22Elisa, you have two minutes.
00:52:24If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you.
00:52:28You can go beg on the street with her.
00:52:30Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:52:31My god, Summer, you are really pushing it.
00:52:35Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:52:38I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:52:41As a low-level employee, you have contradicted me one too many times.
00:52:46And now, you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne?
00:52:48You're fired.
00:52:52Two years.
00:52:53Two years away from this company and I never thought that the business department of the Hawthorne group would decay into the state.
00:53:02Elisa will not be fired.
00:53:04You will.
00:53:07You will.
00:53:10Matthew, did I just hear this old hag say she's gonna fire us?
00:53:14She has a problem with her brain, that's why she's talking crazy.
00:53:18Ms. Hart is our president's wife-to-be. Firing her? Too ridiculous.
00:53:24Besides memory loss, is she also crazy?
00:53:27Why are they saying president's wife?
00:53:30Isn't it you?
00:53:32Are all of you quite finished?
00:53:33I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:53:35You are kind and righteous, so you never use Lucian's identity to gain power.
00:53:41But you?
00:53:42Okay, ma'am, it's okay. I'm going to help you find your family.
00:53:45Let's go.
00:53:46Why do we need to leave? Why don't they leave first?
00:53:49Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:53:52Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now!
00:53:55You've got guts. I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:06You actually dared to hit me? Ms. Hart?
00:54:08Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate. I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:54:24You don't have the authority.
00:54:25Of course I do. She hit my subordinate. I can reasonably deduce she has some mental issues.
00:54:30How many times do I have to tell you? Yes, this woman is clearly sick, but naturally I'm going to find her family to let them handle it.
00:54:37If you and Matthew hadn't instigated this, none of this would have happened.
00:54:41This woman's actions can only be described as self-defense.
00:54:43Yeah, I think you're the one who's crazy. You don't respect the elderly. You're not qualified to be a leader.
00:54:49I don't know why your company's higher-ups even chose you.
00:54:55Oh, are you angry?
00:55:01Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight!
00:55:03Security, throw both of them out of Hawthorne Group!
00:55:06With me here, they can't drive you away. I tell you, I am...
00:55:14Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:18Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:21Oh my god, why does Lucian come to the business department every day?
00:55:26Fine. I guess we'll have another showdown.
00:55:29Explain.
00:55:30Well, it's like this. Elisa brought this woman in off the street, who smells terrible,
00:55:33and insisted on having her in the office, which was disrupting everyone's work,
00:55:38so I'm only thinking of the company.
00:55:40Yes, Mr. Hawthorne. What if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone?
00:55:45I take full responsibility for this incident. If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation.
00:55:52Hawthorne Group is not an impersonal company.
00:55:55Elisa's done well.
00:55:57From today forward, you'll be promoted to Team Leader, and oversee projects as a reward.
00:56:03Mr. Hawthorne, I'm...
00:56:05I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:08I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:11As for you, you can go to HR, and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:16He is the backbone of the business department. If you fire him, there'll be no elites left.
00:56:23Summer, you've managed the business department into a mess. You're responsible for that.
00:56:28I promise to manage the business department better. This won't happen again.
00:56:32Matthew, why have you not apologized to this madame and Miss Vale yet?
00:56:39Matthew, why have you not apologized to this madame and Miss Vale yet?
00:56:43I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
00:56:49Why are you apologizing first? This one almost just put me into a mental hospital.
00:56:53You old hag. How dare you ask me to apologize.
00:56:57Miss Hart? Apologize.
00:57:03Sorry. I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:05I was wrong. I'm sorry.
00:57:14And you guys?
00:57:18I'm sorry.
00:57:19Sorry.
00:57:22Have I been misunderstanding him all this time? Could it be?
00:57:26Well, that's the end of that matter. I'll take care of this lady and help her find her family.
00:57:33Listen, why did you call me over? What if Elisa finds out?
00:57:40Well, what exactly are you trying to do?
00:57:42I want to test my daughter-in-law.
00:57:45Haven't you tested her enough today? She's great. You saw that.
00:57:48Oh, Lucien. You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:57:58That's enough.
00:58:01Fine.
00:58:03Look, um, Elisa is a very good girl, but it seems she doesn't even know that you like her.
00:58:10Nor does anyone else know that she's your wife. Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:17I don't know how to tell her. I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public, pressure will be too much for her.
00:58:24Lucien, when did you become such a coward?
00:58:28Look, if you like her, just confess boldly.
00:58:30You don't want to wait till Elisa falls for some other guy before you feel regret, do you?
00:58:38Regret what?
00:58:42Nothing. Please, come sit.
00:58:48Elisa...
00:58:50I'm sorry. I was deceptive earlier.
00:58:53I...
00:58:55I'm actually Lucien's mother.
00:58:57What?
00:58:58Please, let me explain.
00:59:03Um, a few days ago I got an anonymous text saying that some woman was trying to seduce Lucien,
00:59:10and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:14Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:20Yes, Mrs. Hawthorne, I understand. You're just looking out for your son.
00:59:24But I am concerned that the person who sent that text must have had bad intentions.
00:59:28I have an idea who sent him. No, I am.
00:59:30Good.
00:59:32And Elisa, I heard that Lucien plans on taking you to a very fancy dinner tonight.
00:59:38Okay?
00:59:40There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
00:59:41Lucien, why aren't you eating?
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:56Of course.
00:59:57Well, Elisa, what do you want to ask me?
01:00:03If you want a divorce, it's not going to happen.
01:00:06Why would you think I want a divorce?
01:00:08Okay, I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:18You've liked Summer for ten years.
01:00:21I mean, why would you marry me? Why protect me at every turn?
01:00:26Hold on.
01:00:28You think I've liked Summer for ten years?
01:00:30Judging by his reaction, he must have been caught off guard.
01:00:34Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:00:37Seriously, why would I have liked her for ten years?
01:00:40Elisa, I've liked you for ten years.
01:00:44What?
01:00:45How could that possibly be true?
01:00:47From the first day we met, I fell for you.
01:00:51But because of the conflict between our parents, I chose to get them.
01:00:58I wanted to show you that I cared for you, but I couldn't.
01:01:01I was afraid that it would put you in danger.
01:01:04I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:07All these years, I've suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:10I fought tooth and nail to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:16And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:01:22So why now?
01:01:25And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:01:30So why now?
01:01:32I was afraid if I told you.
01:01:34You didn't like me.
01:01:35You wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:01:38And so what's wrong?
01:01:40So when you sat next to me all those years ago, it wasn't because you didn't like your food?
01:01:47Hey, I don't really like this.
01:01:58Yeah, I'm really sorry I couldn't show you my feelings in the proper way.
01:02:03But then, why did you write Summer that love letter back then?
01:02:10What love letter?
01:02:12I only remember delivering a party invitation to her from my parents.
01:02:17Well, why are all your passwords Summer's birthday?
01:02:20You mean 0903?
01:02:22What does that have to do with Summer? I don't even know her birthday.
01:02:25So then what's 0903 to you?
01:02:27Lisa 0903, September 3rd.
01:02:31It's the day we first met.
01:02:33So it was...
01:02:35It was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:38So it was...
01:02:40It was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:42Lisa, I love you.
01:02:45I know. I tricked you into marrying me.
01:02:48But my feelings for you are absolutely true.
01:02:51So...
01:02:53Can you try to accept me?
01:02:56I know that our marriage started as a contract, but it...
01:02:59It feels real to me now.
01:03:01I love you.
01:03:04I want to be with you.
01:03:05I want to be with you now and I want to be with you when we're old and...
01:03:10I love you.
01:03:20You're finally mine.
01:03:24Yours.
01:03:35Hey.
01:03:36From now on, we're true husband and wife.
01:03:39We don't have to keep our relationship secret in front of our colleagues anymore.
01:03:42Okay.
01:03:47Lucian, I...
01:03:49Elise, you...
01:03:51Summer, I'd like you to meet my wife.
01:03:53What?
01:03:55Elisa and I have actually been married for a long time.
01:03:57So you don't have to send those divisive text messages to my mom anymore.
01:04:00We all like Elisa.
01:04:01So no matter how much you try to sow discord between us, it's never going to work.
01:04:07What text messages I...
01:04:08I have the evidence, Summer.
01:04:13Now, considering the relationship between our families, I'm going to ask you to go ahead and submit your resignation from your team.
01:04:20As for everyone else, you all get off an hour early today.
01:04:24And you're invited to dinner with my wife.
01:04:28Yay!
01:04:31Nice to meet you.
01:04:33You're here.
01:04:34And you just don't know, I go on a few hands-on.
01:04:35You're doing anything.
01:04:36But I can't do nothing.
01:04:37I just want your dad to give my wife.
01:04:38You don't know if you're taking my wife.
01:04:39And then I'll remember doing anything.
01:04:40And that's about to thank you.
01:04:41I hope you have a great time.
01:04:42That's good.
01:04:43You have to be a great time.
01:04:44I feel like I'm ready.
01:04:45I feel like I'm ready.
01:04:46You're right.
01:04:48I have to be a great time.
01:04:49You won't do anything.
01:04:52Or even if I'm ready.
01:04:54I'm ready to be a wonderful day before you.
