00:00:00Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Heart Disease Foundation's charity auction.
00:00:07Win a date with the stunning Emma Davis and support a good cause.
00:00:11I hope this is worth it. I need the cash for Gwen's hospital bills.
00:00:15The bidding starts at $5,000.
00:00:19Get that date. Losing is not an option.
00:00:25You got it, boss.
00:00:29$10,000. $15,000.
00:00:32I feel like a piece of meat on a rack.
00:00:35$25,000.
00:00:37I'll show you a good time, baby.
00:00:41Folks, we've got a staggering $25,000.
00:00:47Going once? Going twice?
00:00:50$50,000.
00:00:52$25,000.
00:01:02He's sexy.
00:01:04Wait, he kinda looks familiar.
00:01:06But from where?
00:01:08$50,000? That's unheard of.
00:01:11$60,000.
00:01:13Shit.
00:01:14$75,000.
00:01:16$90,000!
00:01:18Going once?
00:01:21Going twice?

00:01:24$500,000.
00:01:27$500,000.
00:01:28Going once, going twice, 500,000 sold to Bitter 69.
00:01:46Dana?
00:01:49Right now?
00:01:51No time like the present.
00:01:55Typical Jake.
00:01:56We didn't get her, boss.
00:01:59You useless idiot.
00:02:02I'm fired.
00:02:06So was that your first choice or the best of the worst?
00:02:11The lesser of two evils, for sure.
00:02:14Wow.
00:02:16Here I was hoping you'd say I was your hero.
00:02:19Well, you did manage to save me from a creepo.
00:02:26What do you say will you finish us off with a nightcap in my place?
00:02:35A one-night stand?
00:02:37Am I that kind of woman?
00:02:39I'm always working or taking care of my sister.
00:02:43Maybe I should let loose for once.
00:02:47You need the way, hero.
00:02:49You move fast.
00:03:00Throw it.
00:03:24Throw it.
00:03:24I have to go.
00:03:50You got to be kidding me.
00:03:59Sorry I interrupted your date.
00:04:02I only went for you.
00:04:04Besides, it was paid.
00:04:06Total escort vibes.
00:04:08Whatever.
00:04:08This is the first guy you've gone home with in years.
00:04:13Time to clear up those cobwebs, Em.
00:04:16Miss Davis.
00:04:18So sorry to interrupt, but your payment is due next week?
00:04:22Yes.
00:04:23I just started a new job, so I will have HR give me an advance.
00:04:27Promise.
00:04:27I hate that you're under all this stress because of me.
00:04:33It's not your fault.
00:04:35Harrison is the one who cleaned out my savings and stole our inheritance.
00:04:40I hope he gots in hell.
00:04:43Me too.
00:04:43Since when are you so passionate about curing heart disease?
00:04:50I might have donated more than I expected to.
00:04:54But the date I want?
00:04:55Straight down.
00:04:57Set.
00:04:58She took off running when things got hot.
00:05:00Well, yeah, the playboy, Jake Morrison, finally losing your touch.
00:05:04Please.
00:05:06My touch is just fine.
00:05:08I wish he had a run.
00:05:09I can't stop thinking about her.
00:05:11Uh, you're needed in the boardroom.
00:05:15Of course I am.
00:05:25Come on, Pete.
00:05:27It's not that bad.
00:05:29Not that bad!
00:05:32This is the third scandal of the month, Jake!
00:05:36Count them!
00:05:37Three!
00:05:38And the month's not even over yet!
00:05:39How are we supposed to take this commitment-focused dating app public
00:05:46when you're acting like some frat boy gigolo on spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida?
00:05:53You guys are overreacting.
00:05:56Oh, are we?
00:05:58We're America's number one dating app, Jake.
00:06:01We're about commitment.
00:06:02Wham-bam, thank you, ma'am.
00:06:04Jake, every time your face gets plastered on some tabloid, our stocks are gonna drop.
00:06:10You have to step down as CEO.
00:06:14Excuse me?
00:06:16I've been here since my father built this thing.
00:06:18I'm not gonna just walk away.
00:06:20Oh, no, Jake.
00:06:22You have to step down, or the board is gonna vote you out.
00:06:26He's gonna vote you out.
00:06:28I'm still upset that that chose me to take the reins instead of you.
00:06:31Jake, if you cared about this company, you would not tarnish your father's legacy for some lay!
00:06:39I'll go celibate.
00:06:47I'm sorry.
00:06:48I'm sorry.
00:06:49You're what?
00:06:51You heard me.
00:06:53No woman.
00:06:55No dating.
00:06:56No scandals.
00:06:58I'll prove that I'm the right man to lead this company.
00:07:02Okay, wait a minute.
00:07:03You, Jake Morrison, celibate?
00:07:07This, I'd love to see.
00:07:10Let's, uh, set up a timeline here.
00:07:13Let's say 40 full days, complete celibacy.
00:07:16No problem.
00:07:18All right, wait, wait, but, but if you fail,
00:07:22you will accompany half a billion dollars and I take over CEO.
00:07:26After your voluntary resignation.
00:07:28You got a deal.
00:07:30Welcome to Morrison Enterprises, Ms. Davis.
00:07:34We're counting on you to keep our CEO in top form before the IPO.
00:07:38The CEO?
00:07:39What do you mean?
00:07:40He's got a reputation.
00:07:43You've got to keep him from tanking the company before it goes public.
00:07:47Don't worry.
00:07:48I won't let you down.
00:07:49I won't let you down.
00:07:51Well, okay.
00:07:53Well, then I guess the bet is on.
00:07:5540 days.
00:07:56No women.
00:07:57No dating.
00:07:58No scandals.
00:08:00And if you fail, Clyde here takes over as CEO.
00:08:05I won't fail.
00:08:08Ah, our new chief of staff, you.
00:08:10You.
00:08:12Now I know why he looks so damn familiar.
00:08:16He's that womanizing CEO and all the tabloids.
00:08:20I mean, I'm Emma Davis, your new chief of staff.
00:08:27Welcome to Morrison Enterprises.
00:08:29So, about the other night, maybe this is fate's way of giving us a second chance.
00:08:47Oh, this company has a very clear no dating policy.
00:08:57And as your boss didn't expect you to follow it.
00:09:01No, it doesn't.
00:09:03I read the employee handbook.
00:09:06But who said anything about dating?
00:09:10I'm talking about unfinished business.
00:09:13This stupid bet.
00:09:15I can't do a thing.
00:09:17You rejected me, remember?
00:09:20I have family emergency.
00:09:22But now, you are my main priority.
00:09:32And from the looks of things, we're on the same page.
00:09:36I have a meeting.
00:09:47This bit's already a nightmare.
00:09:56What did you say?
00:09:59Nothing.
00:09:59What's for it?
00:10:01What's for it?
00:10:01Me.
00:10:12See?
00:10:13Fate's thrown us together.
00:10:15I can't and won't happen, Emma.
00:10:18I just set the rules, remember?
00:10:21Is he playing hard to get?
00:10:23Maybe he likes his women a bit more bold.
00:10:26Since when does Mr. Jake Morrison play by the rules?
00:10:37We're in here alone.
00:10:38Nobody's going to find out.
00:10:45Emma.
00:10:50I already told you, I don't mix business with pleasure.
00:10:53Except that's literally what you're in the news for doing.
00:11:00Is it?
00:11:05Is it me?
00:11:06Looks like you're already losing that bet, kid.
00:11:20Let me get this straight.
00:11:21Your new boss, who you have to spend every day with,
00:11:26is the same billionaire hottie who bid on you at the charity auction?
00:11:30One and the same.
00:11:32That's crazy.
00:11:34The universe is literally handing you a ridiculously hot billionaire on a silver platter.
00:11:40No.
00:11:41Except he's not interested.
00:11:43I think he just wanted to tax right off, so.
00:11:46Since when have you been one to back down from a challenge?
00:11:52Seducing my boss is not some challenge, Gwen.
00:11:56But what a sweet fun challenge it would be.
00:11:59You're supposed to be on my side.
00:12:01I am!
00:12:02I'm on the side that my super smart, super funny, and super hot sister deserves to have
00:12:08some fun with the super hot billionaire!
00:12:13You know what?
00:12:14I am glad you're feeling better.
00:12:16I'm serious.
00:12:17Don't let that asshole Harrison ruin this for you, Em.
00:12:20You're allowed to want things.
00:12:23Fine.
00:12:25Initiate phase one of operation.
00:12:27Then, seduce my boss.
00:12:36I've never seen your face before, first time.
00:12:43Jake Morrison, I've missed you.
00:12:46Why don't we get out of here?
00:12:47I can do the trick that you like.
00:12:50How could I forget?
00:12:56Sorry, sweetheart.
00:12:57Not tonight.
00:13:05And that's enough for you.
00:13:08You think because you're my boss, you get to boss me around?
00:13:12You're drunk.
00:13:13No, I'm not.
00:13:15I'm Emma.
00:13:19Right.
00:13:21Time to go.
00:13:23Okay.
00:13:23You're not even too long as next to her.
00:13:30You're no fun.
00:13:32You know that?
00:13:33You will thank me when you wake up.
00:13:35You are trying to get me alone.
00:13:39I don't know.
00:13:40Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:13:44I won't tell.
00:13:45You think of me as some charity case, don't you?
00:14:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:09Why would you bet on me?
00:14:10If you didn't, you would find me trapped in.
00:14:13That's not it.
00:14:14Fine.
00:14:15Leave me alone.
00:14:18I know where I live.
00:14:24I know.
00:14:24Stay out.
00:14:41Why am I the one person Jake Morrison will pay?
00:14:45Why am I humiliating myself for him?
00:14:47I'm learning my own skin
00:14:55In reading what you wrote back then
00:14:59Please don't listen to me
00:15:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:20No.
00:15:23Okay.
00:15:24Okay.
00:15:26Don't let him get in your head.
00:15:29Do not let him win.
00:15:35Shit.
00:15:36And I guess now I just have to deal with it all on my own.
00:15:44I never thought Jake would turn his back on me.
00:15:49And our baby.
00:15:55Baby?
00:15:57This is a disaster.
00:16:00You knocked up your old secretary.
00:16:02And we're just a few weeks from going public.
00:16:04Emma!
00:16:05You fix this now!
00:16:10Cassidy's lying.
00:16:11I haven't touched you in years.
00:16:13If what you say is true...
00:16:15It's true.
00:16:17I know better than knock anyone out.
00:16:20Then we'll prove it.
00:16:21Oh!
00:16:25Hey, Jake.
00:16:27Whatever game you're playing, I'm not interested.
00:16:30Oh, you will be.
00:16:32Eventually.
00:16:33You'll be begging me not to bleed your company dry.

00:51:35you didn't think you
00:51:36could just barge in here
00:51:40And take her from me, did you?
00:51:43Let her go.
00:51:44Nobody has to get hurt.
00:51:48You want her?
00:51:57Come and get her.
00:51:59Jake!
00:52:00You don't have to do this, Harrison.
00:52:02Emma's mine.
00:52:04Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
00:52:07No judge will ever convict me.
00:52:37Jake!
00:52:42Jake, Jake!
00:52:44Fine, I didn't hear you.
00:52:58Ah!
00:52:59This isn't over, Emma!
00:53:02I own you.
00:53:04You don't own me.
00:53:06Harrison, you never have.
00:53:09And you never will.
00:53:11Don't worry.
00:53:23You're safe now.
00:53:26How could I let that happen?
00:53:28I should have been more careful.
00:53:30Emma, listen to me.
00:53:32Mm-hmm.
00:53:32You can't blame yourself for his actions.
00:53:35He's unhinge.
00:53:36Crazy.
00:53:37Delusional.
00:53:38I thought if I kept moving or kept a low profile, he wouldn't find me.
00:53:44But he's right.
00:53:46He always finds me.
00:53:50Him.
00:53:55That ends now.
00:53:56How did you find me?
00:54:05After your apartment got trashed.
00:54:09I might have put a location tracker on your work phone.
00:54:13What?
00:54:15Only for emergencies like this.
00:54:17I didn't want to scare you, but I didn't trust that guy.
00:54:20I was trying to protect you.
00:54:22Jake.
00:54:24Cobb's up now.
00:54:25Any lawyers will hide the best if he won't touch you ever again.
00:54:32And you still lied to me about the vent.
00:54:40I know.
00:54:41I should have to wait the truth in the very beginning.
00:54:44I'm sorry.
00:54:45I promise.
00:54:47I'll spend the rest of my life making it right, starting right now.
00:54:50I thought I lost you.
00:54:53I can't lose you.
00:54:55What are you saying?
00:54:57You're the woman of my dreams.
00:54:59We took off running tonight.
00:55:01And I knew you were in danger.
00:55:02I didn't.
00:55:04Just click.
00:55:11Falling in love with you.
00:55:12What did you just say?
00:55:16You're beautiful.
00:55:18Strong.
00:55:21Smart.
00:55:22Cable of taking on anything in this world.
00:55:25It's taking every ounce of patience within me not to tell you.
00:55:28Is that why you lost it on the waiter in San Francisco?
00:55:38I plead the best.
00:55:44Jake.
00:55:46Do you really need it?
00:55:48I don't.
00:55:48Take the bet.
00:55:54You're going to lose your company.
00:55:57No.
00:55:59We shouldn't.
00:56:03We most certainly can.
00:56:05I don't care about that bet.
00:56:08Only you.
00:56:08Wait a minute.
00:56:29This figure doesn't match the previous quarter.
00:56:31Oh my God, Frank.
00:56:36These funds are being funneled into a ghost account.
00:56:39Are you sure?
00:56:40Yes.
00:56:40Look at this contract.
00:56:41It's fake.
00:56:43Clyde.
00:56:44These are all his departments.
00:56:46This is bad.
00:56:47That bastard.
00:56:50He's been embezzling money for months.
00:56:54He's screwing the company.
00:56:56He has.
00:56:57But he's still very powerful.
00:56:59We can't run to the board without more evidence.
00:57:02What do you suggest we do?
00:57:05I'll hire an independent auditor to go over everything to confirm.
00:57:09And then once confirmed, the board will have no choice but to believe us.
00:57:13That's a good plan.
00:57:15You get started on that.
00:57:15And I'll loop in Jake.
00:57:18All right.
00:57:28I was very cool waking up alone.
00:57:30I wanted to talk to Gwen before work.
00:57:32You know.
00:57:35You're going to have to make that up to me.
00:57:41Jake.
00:57:43Me.
00:57:45We're not even supposed to be near each other here.
00:57:51And I have to tell you something.
00:57:57Do you have any idea how hard it is not to touch you when you walk into a room looking like this?
00:58:04Especially now that I'm going to have a taste of you.
00:58:09I have to tell you something.
00:58:13I don't really kiss you right now.
00:58:15Try talking your way out of this one.
00:58:28We can't do this here.
00:58:37I know.
00:58:39But you're so resistible.
00:58:43Okay.
00:58:44Okay.
00:58:45Channel.
00:58:46The old Jake who fought hard to reject me.
00:58:51Fine.
00:58:52I'll try.
00:58:56You had to tell me something?
00:58:58Yes.
00:58:59Yeah.
00:58:59Clyde is funneling company money into a fake account.
00:59:04He's been doing it for months.
00:59:06That bastard.
00:59:08Not only is he trying to steal my job.
00:59:11He's stealing from the company.
00:59:13We have to stop him.
00:59:16We will.
00:59:17Come on.
00:59:20Very nice kid.
00:59:22You're always in the right place at the right time.
00:59:25I learned from the best, baby.
00:59:30I knew that kid couldn't last 40 days without some kind of action.
00:59:35I do think he could have chosen someone better to break the bet with.
00:59:40Ah, don't be jealous.
00:59:42We'll give it the deserve in due time.
00:59:45And so won't we.
00:59:47Should we take it to the board?
00:59:48Nah, I don't think they're winning.
00:59:55I'm going there to burn it all down.
01:00:01Hold on.
01:00:04Ta-da.
01:00:06Took you long enough to bring your mystery man here.
01:00:10It's only been a couple weeks.
01:00:12It's nice to finally meet you, bud.
01:00:14Emphasis on the finally.
01:00:15Finally.
01:00:18How are you lovebirds doing?
01:00:20Navigating a forbidden office relationship sounds so much.
01:00:25My anxiety has never been so high.
01:00:29Uh.
01:00:32Excuse me.
01:00:33I have to take this.
01:00:37He's way hotter in person than in the magazines.
01:00:41I know.
01:00:42How's the sex?
01:00:44Gwen, it's right there.
01:00:46I can't get any right now.
01:00:48So I've got to live vicariously through you.
01:00:51Okay, it's good.
01:00:51It's good.
01:00:53Um.
01:00:54We have to go.
01:00:56Emergency board meeting.
01:00:58No.
01:00:58Ladies and gentlemen, I've received information that I feel is imperative I share with you, especially with our IPO just days away.
01:01:09Clyde, Clyde, what is this about?
01:01:10Well, it's no secret that my nephew, your CEO, has a hard time keeping it in his pants, if you will.
01:01:20The tabloids are true.
01:01:24He's been engaging in a inappropriate relationship with Miss Davis.
01:01:30What?
01:01:30How does he know?
01:01:37Unless there is proof, I see no point to this meeting.
01:01:40Of course, Peter.
01:01:42You know me.
01:01:43I don't rob accusations just willy-nilly.
01:01:46Miss Abrams, do come in, please.
01:01:48I was just here to discuss some business with Mr. Johnson, and I happened to pass by Mr. Morrison's office and saw this.
01:02:01Miss Abrams, do come in, please.
01:02:32It's not like that.
01:02:34Oh, Miss Davis, come on.
01:02:38You can't honestly think you can deny that.
01:02:41My personal life shouldn't be the business of anyone here.
01:02:45Are you kidding me, Jake?
01:02:47We're about to go public.
01:02:48Perception is everything.
01:02:49Who's going to follow the leadership of a person that can't distinguish personal from professional?
01:02:54You're just trying to turn me into a scandal to save yourself.
01:02:57I'm trying to save this company.
01:02:59And your little tryst speaks volumes about your lack of judgment.
01:03:03Judgment?
01:03:05You want to talk about judgment?
01:03:07Why don't you turn that near inwards?
01:03:09What are you talking about?
01:03:11Let's talk about your offshore accounts, Clyde.
01:03:12No, no, he's just trying to save himself.
01:03:20He'll throw me under the bus, no problem.
01:03:21This meeting is highly inappropriate for the both of you.
01:03:25Now, if this IPO gets scrutiny because of this internal drama...
01:03:28This is not drama, Peter.
01:03:31It's corruption.
01:03:33And I have the documents to prove it.
01:03:37That's bullshit, okay?
01:03:39Number one, I'm not stupid enough to embezzle.
01:03:43Secondly, it wouldn't be a paper trail if I did.
01:03:46Actually, you can.
01:03:48And you did.
01:03:49And we've already found significant discrepancies in the ledger.
01:03:58Wait, wait.
01:03:58Frank, is this true?
01:04:01Unfortunately, it does, Peter.
01:04:03Shit.
01:04:03Look, I was supposed to be CEO, okay?
01:04:09After everything I did and my brother's stupid kid...
01:04:14That's enough, Uncle.
01:04:16You've been caught red-handed.
01:04:20Well, the board has no choice but to vote to remove Clyde Johnson from his seat.
01:04:27All in favor?
01:04:33Security!
01:04:36Come escort my uncle out.
01:04:38This is bullshit!
01:04:40You won't get away with this!
01:04:41This isn't over!
01:04:42Let go of me, you!
01:04:43Before I sign your checks!
01:04:49Well, it looks like it's air-your-dirty-laundry kind of day.
01:04:53So in the spirit of that, let's not forget...
01:04:57Jake still broke the bet.
01:05:00Didn't you, Jakey?
01:05:03If I can't have you, I will make damn sure no one can.
01:05:11As much as I'd hate to admit this, Jake, she is right.
01:05:16We can't overlook your misconduct.
01:05:19Peter.
01:05:20It's not what it looks like.
01:05:24Jake.
01:05:26There's no point in denying it anymore.
01:05:30Yes!
01:05:31It's true.
01:05:32Jake and I are seeing each other.
01:05:38So...
01:05:39So you lied to us when we met with you after your San Francisco trip?
01:05:45No.
01:05:46We weren't seeing each other then.
01:05:48It's more recent than that.
01:05:49Oh, Miss Davis.
01:05:51Of all people,
01:05:53you, as the chief of staff, should know better.
01:05:56We hired you to keep him in line.
01:05:59And then we asked you to keep your distance from him.
01:06:02How can we expect you to maintain the standards of the company for staff when you can't even maintain them yourself?
01:06:08You're right.
01:06:11And I completely understand.
01:06:12I'll submit my resignation, effective immediately.
01:06:17This isn't Emma's fault.
01:06:19It's mine.
01:06:21I request that you reject a resignation.
01:06:23Well, Jake, I don't think you're in any position to request anything.
01:06:26If losing my job
01:06:30is a price I have to pay
01:06:32for loving her,
01:06:36so be it,
01:06:38I step down as CEO effective immediately.
01:06:40No, Jake, you can't.
01:06:43This is your career.
01:06:44Everything you've worked for.
01:06:45You're more important to me than a title.
01:06:47I won't let you lose anything just because of my mistakes.
01:06:50You're stepping down for a fling?
01:06:54This isn't a fling.
01:06:55You'd never last more than six months with anybody, Jake.
01:06:58How are we supposed to believe this is different?
01:07:01I'm not asking you to.
01:07:02You're talking about walking away from my legacy.
01:07:06Everything your family built.
01:07:08I get it.
01:07:08I've always been
01:07:10a bit of a playboy.
01:07:12A bit of an understatement.
01:07:14Jake,
01:07:15you would really forfeit your position,
01:07:18the money, everything for a relationship?
01:07:20This isn't just a relationship.
01:07:23Emma's different
01:07:24than any other woman I've been with.
01:07:28And I love her.
01:07:29And that's enough for debate.
01:07:33Just like all of you,
01:07:36I thought
01:07:37Jake
01:07:38was a playboy.
01:07:40But
01:07:40over time,
01:07:42I came to find that he's much more than that.
01:07:45He's
01:07:45kind,
01:07:47caring,
01:07:49protective,
01:07:50and committed.
01:07:52And
01:07:53I couldn't help but fall in love with him.
01:07:55And if that means
01:07:56that I can't work at Morrison Enterprises,
01:07:59then I'll step down.
01:08:06We're going to need a moment to discuss this.
01:08:09Of course.
01:08:10We'll be in my office.
01:08:13I can't believe we just did that.
01:08:16Did you really
01:08:17just tell the boy that you love me?
01:08:19You could have at least told me first.
01:08:21I don't know what came over me,
01:08:26but
01:08:26I meant it.
01:08:29Jake,
01:08:30I love you.
01:08:32I love you too, Emma.
01:08:33Wow, what a performance.
01:08:41Shame.
01:08:41It just won't save either of you.
01:08:44Then it's a good thing
01:08:45we're not the ones who need saving.
01:08:49Because I'm suing you.
01:08:51You're suing me?
01:08:55For what?
01:08:56Well, let's see.
01:08:57Where do we start?
01:08:58There's a breach of privacy,
01:09:01workplace harassment.
01:09:03Oh, and the real issue here,
01:09:04which is sexual extortion.
01:09:07Using those pictures like that?
01:09:10Illegal.
01:09:11See you in court.
01:09:13And security,
01:09:14we'll see you out.
01:09:21The board has reached a decision.
01:09:29Jake,
01:09:30you have shown some growth.
01:09:32Choosing to be in a committed
01:09:34and public relationship is...
01:09:37Honestly, it's amazing PR.
01:09:39Especially right before the IPO.
01:09:41And Emma,
01:09:42uncovering Clyde's fraud,
01:09:44speaks to your high standards.
01:09:48So,
01:09:48we have made the decision
01:09:50not to accept your resignation.
01:09:52You're not?
01:09:53No.
01:09:54In fact,
01:09:55we have decided
01:09:56that the company needs you
01:09:58as a team.
01:09:59Emma,
01:10:00we would love to offer you
01:10:01the role of assistant CEO.
01:10:06What do you say?
