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?
00:01:22Hello, let's get started.
00:01:33Elisa?
00:01:34Hey, Mom!
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.
00:02:09I'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?
00:02:35We were supposed to meet in the conference room at 9.
00:02:38Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:40I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home.
00:02:43And, um, if you could please just tell management that-
00:02:47Hello?
00:02:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck, fuck.
00:02:53I just lost my house and 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?
00:03:06Um...
00:03:07Mr. Hawthorne, what are you doing here?
00:03:12Oh, I'm actually here for you.
00:03:14What?
00:03:15I need a marriage partner.
00:03:17Again, what?
00:03:19I need you to be my wife.
00:03:21Give it a thought.
00:03:22Mr. Hawthorne, I was really drunk last night and I can't remember how everything happened after, but 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 to pay off all your debts and make sure that your house doesn't get auctioned off.
00:03:45If you agree, we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:03:57Why do you want to help me?
00:03:59I told you, I 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 take you back.
00:04:32Take you back.
00:04:33And I'll give you my home address so you 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. This is a deal. I can't just take the money and give nothing in return.
00:04:48I can get myself to work.
00:04:50And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:52I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:59Elisa, you're finally mine.
00:05:05Oh my god!
00:05:07I'm so sorry. It was reading and I didn't see you there.
00:05:09I don't know worries. It's fine.
00:05:16Can I have your name?
00:05:17I'm Elisa.
00:05:20Yo!
00:05:21Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:25Alright.
00:05:29It's real?
00:05:31If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella.
00:05:33Alright, give it back.
00:05:34Then watch your mouth.
00:05:35You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:42It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:44Shh. I'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!
00:06:05Hello, everyone.
00:06:07Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:09Thank you, Ms. Hart. You are so very kind.
00:06:11It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:13Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:14I have to go see Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:06:15He must want to see me right now.
00:06:17Save a slice for me.
00:06:18Honey.
00:06:19When do you think they will make their own relationship public?
00:06:20Probably soon.
00:06:21Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone.
00:06:22The code is 0903.
00:06:23Ms. Hart's birthday.
00:06:24Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:25I'm sorry.
00:06:26I'm sorry.
00:06:27I'm sorry.
00:06:28I'm sorry.
00:06:29I'm sorry.
00:06:30I'm sorry.
00:06:31I'm sorry.
00:06:32I'm sorry.
00:06:33I'm sorry.
00:06:34I'm sorry.
00:06:35I'm sorry.
00:06:36I'm sorry.
00:06:37I'm sorry.
00:06:38I'm sorry.
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:40I'm sorry.
00:06:41I'm sorry.
00:06:42Don't you assume?
00:06:43Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone, the code is 0903.
00:06:46Ms. Hart's birthday.
00:06:47Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:49Wow.
00:06:50I 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.
00:06:58Please don't talk to me.
00:06:59Okay.
00:07:120903.
00:07:17That's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:19If they love each other so much, then...
00:07:22It's okay, whatever it is.
00:07:24He's just not getting his money back.
00:07:29Why 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.
00:08:00What should I do?
00:08:02Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:05I know that we did that before, but...
00:08:08I was drunk.
00:08:12If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:08:14But...
00:08:16If I don't...
00:08:17Melissa?
00:08:18You okay?
00:08:19I'm fine.
00:08:20Thank you for asking.
00:08:29I'm...
00:08:30I'm not ready.
00:08:31I was...
00:08:32Just gonna turn off the light.
00:08:33What'd you think I was gonna do?
00:08:34Oh, yeah.
00:08:35No.
00:08:36Don't get me wrong.
00:08:37I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:38Alisa.
00:08:39I don't want some one-night stand.
00:08:40I wanna be your everything.
00:08:41Matthew, why did the negotiations with the Sunlight Group fail?
00:08:44It's...
00:08:45Alisa's fault.
00:08:46If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:08:48How is it her fault?
00:08:49Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:08:50I heard that.
00:08:51No, no, no.
00:08:52I didn't know what I was gonna do.
00:08:53I didn't know what I was gonna do.
00:08:54I didn't know what I was gonna do.
00:08:55I didn't know what I was gonna do.
00:08:56Oh, yeah.
00:08:57No.
00:08:58Don't get me wrong.
00:08:59I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:09:01Alisa, I don't want some one-night stand.
00:09:04I wanna be your everything.
00:09:05Matthew, why did the negotiations with the Sunlight Group fail?
00:09:07Is 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 Alisa skipped
00:09:18work.
00:09:19What?
00:09:20What 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
00:09:29away.
00:09:30Matthew, you know how important our negotiations with the Sunlight Group is.
00:09:42And since it is your subordinates' fault, you know what to do, right?
00:09:48Rest assured, I know what to do.
00:09:52Last night, with Lucian laying beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:02Alisa, 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.
00:10:11Mr. 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?
00:10:21Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:26That'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?
00:10:38I was absent that day, yes, but I prepared the initial budget ahead of time, so there is
00:10:44no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:10:47Wouldn't have affected the negotiations.
00:10:51Alisa, take a closer look.
00:10:53What did you write in the project budget?
00:10:56No.
00:10:57No, no, no.
00:10:58This isn't right.
00:10:59I wrote 50 million.
00:11:00How did it become 5 million?
00:11:02For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:14Alisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:17Looks like Alisa is in trouble.
00:11:20Alisa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:23How could she make such an error?
00:11:24Keep 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 have the right numbers.
00:11:47No.
00:11:48No, they were right here.
00:11:49How could they be gone?
00:11:50Alisa, are you joking?
00:11:52Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:55Alisa?
00:11:56Are 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 Alisa made.
00:12:08We all checked it as a team.
00:12:10Obviously, 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 Alisa, I can give her a second chance.
00:12:26Anyone?
00:12:30Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:32I don't remember.
00:12:33Since there's no one, Alisa, would you like to walk yourself out?
00:12:41Or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:48This better be something important.
00:12:50Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:52So?
00:12:53Can't Summer handle it?
00:12:55She started it.
00:12:56Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:13:00Let's go.
00:13:03Amelia, it's okay.
00:13:04They clearly just want someone to blame for this entire thing.
00:13:07So what should we do then?
00:13:08Allow them to push all the blame onto you?
00:13:10Ms. Hart, Mr. Clark, I'll step down from my position, but 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, and there are computer backend logs.
00:13:33All of these will prove that my budget was correct, and 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 refused to leave, security?
00:13:49Drag her out.
00:13:57Elisa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:14:00You'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?
00:14:17Lucien, 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?
00:14:43Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:14:44The negotiations with the Sun Lake Group failed due to Elisa's mistake.
00:14:48We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:14:51You 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?
00:15:02Lucien, see?
00:15:04She won't admit her mistakes and she even questions you in public.
00:15:09Oh God, now I'm really fired.
00:15:14Elisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:15:17She has to be fired now.
00:15:18No.
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.
00:15:37Of course Lucien 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.
00:15:49Hold on.
00:15:56Did I tell you to leave?
00:15:57You're not angry?
00:15:59Why would I be angry?
00:16:01The company needs to find out who's responsible for Sunrise Group project first.
00:16:04Ronan, take charge of that.
00:16:06Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:16:08So what you're saying is I'm not fired.
00:16:10At least for now.
00:16:13Lucien, Elisa not only made mistakes on this project,
00:16:16but she was absent from work without permission.
00:16:18And she defied you in public.
00:16:19Summer, I'll handle company policy, okay?
00:16:23But we never, ever fire an employee for no reason.
00:16:27I...
00:16:29I agree with Lucien.
00:16:31Matthew, I told you to wait till the investigation was done,
00:16:34but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:37Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now!
00:16:39Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:41Is Lucien 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?
00:16:55Elisa, 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, and 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?
00:17:20Next time something like that happens, come see me.
00:17:22And let me handle it.
00:17:24You're so busy. I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:28We're married.
00:17:32You can do whatever you want.
00:17:34We're at the office. Don't fool around.
00:17:37Fool around?
00:17:39Well, that's not the proper thing since we're married.
00:17:43Well, by that I guess you mean...
00:17:46I should act like your wife all the time?
00:17:49Even while we're at work?
00:17:50That's not necessarily what I mean.
00:17:54Well, if that's all, Mr. Hawthorne, I guess I'll be going back to work.
00:18:05Elisa.
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!
00:18:20I can't really understand the data over here. Can you help me please?
00:18:29Miss 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.
00:18:40Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:44Can't you see the trash is full? Clean it.
00:18:47Miss Hart?
00:18:49I'm an analyst.
00:18:51I'm not an intern.
00:18:53What? Are you defying your superior?
00:18:56Someone is really ignorant. She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:18:59Now she's defying her superior. Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:02Right?
00:19:04Miss 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 Miss 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. I like my job and I'm going to become an excellent executive in my dream company.
00:19:28Fine. I'll do it.
00:19:39Better to bend than break, huh?
00:19:42It doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:48Miss Hart? Your coffee?
00:19:50Hand it to me.
00:19:59Oh my god, this coffee is so hot. It almost burned me alive.
00:20:04Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:06Don't you know I only drink ice Americano? Who hired you anyway?
00:20:10I'm so sorry. I will go buy you one right now.
00:20:13Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:15Who told you you could mop the floor with that? If you damage the floors, can you afford to pay for them?
00:20:28How exactly would you like me to mop the floor, Miss 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? You could always quit.
00:20:48Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:20:53Even while we're at work?
00:20:57Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:21:01Uh-huh.
00:21:02Hey, 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 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.
00:21:17Miss Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:24I didn't do it off the park.
00:21:26Elisa, 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?
00:21:37Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:40You don't want 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?
00:21:53She'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.
00:22:05But 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?
00:22:16Lucian is in love with Summer.
00:22:18Even if I told the truth, would he believe me?
00:22:20Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:23Come with me to my office.
00:22:26Come!
00:22:29Why on earth did Lucian call Elisa to his office again?
00:22:33I must find out.
00:22:34Have a seat.
00:22:43Your hands hurt.
00:22:44You need an advantage.
00:22:45It's... it's really fine.
00:22:47I can just go home and...
00:22:48No, no, I got it all right here.
00:22:50Have a seat.
00:22:55Alright, let's see.
00:22:57You 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.
00:23:10No.
00:23:11No, I'm fine.
00:23:12In 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.
00:23:22Last step.
00:23:26Okay.
00:23:27Just don't let this hand touch water for a little bit.
00:23:29Thank 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...
00:23:48he'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.
00:24:04You 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.
00:24:15Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:24Alright.
00:24:25It's ready.
00:24:27How many slices do you want?
00:24:29Mom, what's wrong?
00:24:31Elisa, 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...
00:24:43Well...
00:24:45I 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?
00:24:53Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:24:57Well...
00:24:59Mom...
00:25:01You don't have to worry about it.
00:25:03It's okay.
00:25:04Elisa.
00:25:08Hey!
00:25:09Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:11What's up?
00:25:12There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:14They notified us in the group, but...
00:25:16I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond.
00:25:18So...
00:25:19I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:20What?
00:25:21It's been ages.
00:25:22Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:26Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:29Just 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.
00:25:43If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:45Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:46Summer, 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 say this?
00:25:58I'm busy!
00:25:59Leave!
00:26:01Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:03But ever since Elisa came, you'll become colder and colder.
00:26:08Elisa, I won't let you off easily.
00:26:11I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:19Is he going?
00:26:20Something 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?
00:26:29I don't know.
00:26:31Emilia made a good point that we don't really see each other that often.
00:26:35Thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:37Um, you know what?
00:26:39I actually have a meeting.
00:26:41I think I'll pass.
00:26:42Okay.
00:26:44Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:45I'll give you something else since I can't be there.
00:26:47You really don't have to do that.
00:26:48And I know it's far, so take this.
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.
00:27:02Why would you take the subway?
00:27:04Consider this a gift.
00:27:06Lucian is acting like he actually likes me.
00:27:10What game is he playing?
00:27:12Come on.
00:27:13Take it.
00:27:15You're just giving this to me?
00:27:18Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:20Legally speaking, what's mine is yours.
00:27:23Well, thank you then.
00:27:29This is a customized version.
00:27:32Probably cost millions.
00:27:33Jesus, Elisa.
00:27:35If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:38Seems 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.
00:27:45He does treat me well, though.
00:27:47You know all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:50I don't know.
00:27:52I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:54Maybe it's, um, a misunderstanding or a coincidence?
00:27:58I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer. I don't think he's into her.
00:28:02No, 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.
00:28:15The way he looks at Summer, it doesn't feel right. Do you know what I mean?
00:28:19I have absolutely no idea what you mean, because you sound crazy.
00:28:23You? Oh, yeah, I'm done.
00:28:25You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:26Well, we're late, so we have to go.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:36Hello, everyone. Long time no see.
00:28:39So sorry we're late.
00:28:41So it's Elisa. What is it?
00:28:44The poor student back then is putting airs now?
00:28:49Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:28:53Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:28:58Elisa, 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 speaks 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.
00:29:17Her? She's probably a low-level employee. How well could she be doing?
00:29:21What do you mean by that?
00:29:23Elisa and I were just...
00:29:27Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:29Although it's been years since we graduated, she's only been more gorgeous.
00:29:32Summer is both the daughter of the noble family and Mr. Hoffman's child friend.
00:29:39I bet Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:41Summer, come on, sit next to me.
00:29:43I'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.
00:30:02I'm actually tired of driving it. I haven't used it.
00:30:06A sports car? That's something I can never afford.
00:30:10It's not that much.
00:30:11It's only a few hundred thousand.
00:30:14Wow. Summer surely is rich.
00:30:17Such an expensive car, but it's like nothing to her.
00:30:21Naturally. Don't you know who Summer is?
00:30:23Such a lottery car and nothing but a toy to her.
00:30:26She can have as many as she wants.
00:30:29A bunch of snot.
00:30:31Alisa, what car did you drive here?
00:30:37She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car?
00:30:40She must be taking the subway.
00:30:42What, does she race? That's the reason?
00:30:45Alisa, the subway will soon stop running.
00:30:48Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:30:50Summer, you're still so kind-hearted.
00:30:52But how could somebody as low as her be riding in your luxury car?
00:30:59Be careful not to get her power distance all over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:03What nonsense are you talking about?
00:31:06Alisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:09She drove here.
00:31:11In a fancy new limited edition convertible.
00:31:14Something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:17Oh my god, what a big mouth.
00:31:19What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:23Impossible.
00:31:25She can never afford that.
00:31:27Alisa, 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?
00:31:35You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars even if you're stuck yourself.
00:31:39Summer, is Hawthorn Group really that good?
00:31:43Even a little employee can afford such fancy convertible?
00:31:46Hardly.
00:31:48Although Hawthorn Group does have good benefits, it's not to that extent.
00:31:53With her salary, she could probably never afford it.
00:31:57Even if she worked herself to death.
00:31:59Alisa, we're all classmates here.
00:32:02You don't have to pretend to be rich.
00:32:04It probably costs half of your salary to rent that car.
00:32:07It's best not to be so vain.
00:32:08What's the point of it? It's like the Cinderella. It will revert to its true form after midnight.
00:32:13Alisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:16Of course.
00:32:18Can 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.
00:32:27Mr. Hawthorn, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start any time.
00:32:30Alright.
00:32:31Oh, 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. Hawthorn.
00:32:39I was hurting to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:45Alisa, 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?
00:32:56Summer, aren't you colleagues with Alisa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:03It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry.
00:33:09Although I don't think so. If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:17So, Alisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:22Amelia, I think you should stay with Alisa. She got a bad influence on you.
00:33:31And what do you know?
00:33:34Alisa's husband.
00:33:36Okay, okay, you guys keep partying.
00:33:39Uh, Amelia?
00:33:45Excuse me, these are the wines sent by Mr. Hawthorn.
00:33:48Oh, 1982 Lafitte? But we didn't order these wines!
00:33:57I'll send you something else 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. Hawthorn for you.
00:34:09Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention from Mr. Hawthorn is Summer. Who else could it be?
00:34:17This wine is for Mr. Hawthorn too.
00:34:19Summer and Mr. Hawthorn have been a perfect match in school, and now they are still so affectionate, I wonder if they're going to get married soon.
00:34:27Of course! Summer's future president's wife.
00:34:30Unlike someone.
00:34:31Oh, Alisa, 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. I 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 Alisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good the Lafitte is.
00:34:57That's true. Giving it to her would be a waste.
00:35:01You're all wrong. This wine is for me. This wine is for me.
00:35:07Did I hear that right? You said that this wine was given to you by Mr. Hawthorn?
00:35:13It's hilarious. Do you think you're Mrs. Hawthorn?
00:35:17Mrs. Hawthorn? It's Summer.
00:35:20Are you daydreaming, Alisa? Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:24Elisa, are you jealous of me? Not only jealous of my family background and my job.
00:35:31Now 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.
00:35:48How can you be so confident that the wine is for Summer?
00:35:53When Summer and Mr. Hawthorn started dating, Alisa was somewhere picking on the trash.
00:35:59All 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 all the poor things.
00:36:06Hey waiter, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorn give these wines to?
00:36:13Yeah, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorn give these wines to?
00:36:16So that someone can start daydreaming.
00:36:19These wines were given to Mrs. Ellisvale by Mr. Hawthorn.
00:36:24What? This wine is from Lucien to Alisa? There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:33How could Mr. Hawthorn possibly send wine to Alisa?
00:36:37Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucien to Ms. Bell.
00:36:42How could this be? What makes Alisa 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.
00:36:54Is it because you're embarrassed?
00:36:57Okay, Emilia. Yeah, like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:37:01Mr. Hawthorn would never send wine to this bitch. Could it be...
00:37:06Wait. What now, Lomania?
00:37:09Elisa, 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, Lomania, you really are imaginative. You should become a screenwriter. Really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:26What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth and here I am stating the facts? How is that imagination?
00:37:33Lomania, I think you've got a point. After all, lowly people are always so desperate for attention, right?
00:37:48Summer makes a valid point. Mr. Hawthorn and Elisa are from completely different worlds. How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:55Go home and pay your actors.
00:37:57Elisa, I think there's something you should know. If we hadn't gone to the same high school together, you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us, having meal, let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorn.
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?
00:38:21She 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.
00:38:38I 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. You must have misunderstood.
00:38:49Misunderstood?
00:38:57Misunderstood?
00:38:59Elisa, you really are hopeless. You found some actors and got two bottles of fake wine thinking you could show off at the reunion party?
00:39:07This cheap wine is only good for making noise when he chatters.
00:39:21With this order from President Hawthorn, I don't have to worry about my performance for the rest of the month.
00:39:26I think I'm going to make Ms. Vale a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:37Hello?
00:39:39No good, Mr. Carlos. Ms. Vale is in trouble.
00:39:42What? I'm coming over.
00:39:45Damaging someone else's property?
00:39:46Lavinia, you have never been one to consider the consequences of doing whatever Summer tells you to do.
00:39:51How 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.
00:40:01You're disgusting. We're ashamed to have you as a classmate. You don't deserve to be at our party.
00:40:11Security! Where's the security?
00:40:13I'm Mrs. Well, we don't know who this woman is, and I don't know how she got in here, and I want her out of here.
00:40:20Well, this is Summer Hart, fiance of the president of Hawthorne's group. And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:29That is silly.
00:40:32What are you doing?
00:40:35What is going on here?
00:40:38Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:44Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:49Yes, I did. In fact, Ms. Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:40:56That can't be possible. Her family went bankrupt years ago. She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:03Let me correct myself. Not only is Ms. Vale our esteemed guest, not only is she our VVVIP customer, but the wine was arranged to be sent by President Hawthorne to her.
00:41:17Does my word count? Does it have any weight around here?
00:41:22Mr. Carlos, there must be some mistake.
00:41:25Well, the wine was personally arranged by President Hawthorne's personal assistant, Ronan. How could there possibly be a mistake?
00:41:34But Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:41:41How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:41:44You 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?
00:41:54Whatever. 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. Maybe 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?
00:42:13You should have seen the look on Summer's face when she tried to swipe her card. It was hilarious.
00:42:19Oh my gosh, today we finally showed her who's boss.
00:42:23I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucian's dream girl.
00:42:28When he finds out, I, the placeholder wife, am totally getting the...
00:42:31Legally, you are Mr. Hawthorne's wife.
00:42:34You are literally the President's wife. You 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?
00:42:44Yes. No. Yes. No. Come on.
00:42:47I ain't okay, just my heart.
00:42:54Amelia, be honest with me. Okay?
00:42:57What is this?
00:42:58I don't... I don't understand why Lucian wanted to marry me.
00:43:02I don't know, it's just... I'm starting to feel like maybe he... like...
00:43:08Is he actually someone...
00:43:09Elisa, I have something I have to attend to so I'm going to be leaving now.
00:43:14What? Wait, no.
00:43:17Are you... gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:23Are you real? Or am I dreaming?
00:43:26Well, no, you're not dreaming. I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:29Big gossip?
00:43:31No. I don't want to go home. I want to drink more.
00:43:35Elisa, you've had too much. You're gonna have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:38Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:43:42Come on.
00:43:44I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:43:48Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:43:52Come on.
00:43:53All right, ready? Three, two, one.
00:43:57Okay, here we go.
00:44:05Mr. Hawthorne, here I am.
00:44:07Working overtime in the middle of the...
00:44:09Driving at this speed.
00:44:10It's going to be sort of nice.
00:44:13Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:44:17Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:44:19Actually, I've been in love with you for ten years. Ever since I first saw you.
00:44:27Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe.
00:44:30And my father was also...
00:44:35Lucian?
00:44:37Let your father rest in peace.
00:44:41You're all I've got now.
00:44:43Anyway, I 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?
00:44:59Yeah.
00:45:01Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:03Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed. She's the worst!
00:45:14I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:21Oh? What 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.
00:45:39She's very clever.
00:45:41But she never got involved in the family business and she's lived in seclusion abroad for years.
00:45:47Even I haven't spoken to her.
00:45:49All 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.
00:46:05I went through great lengths to get this, but I never contacted her because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:11Do it for me. When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:20It's my pleasure to help you, Miss Hart.
00:46:23I just hope that when you become the President's wife, you won't forget me.
00:46:30Of course not.
00:46:38Major Hawthorne, you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:46:43What does it say?
00:46:44It seems there's a fix in our mess around, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:46:47She turned him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:46:55Book me a flight. I need to go back immediately.
00:47:01Oh my god.
00:47:03Will 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.
00:47:10Ow.
00:47:12It 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.
00:47:24But how did I...
00:47:26Okay. Here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:30Yeah. Well, are you going to 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 going to 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.
00:47:46She 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?
00:48:02Hmm...
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... How about I take you to the hospital and then to a police station?
00:48:24No, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to a hospital or a police station. I don't trust anybody.
00:48:29Oh, no. I'm going to be late. But there's the weekly department meeting today. I can't take leave.
00:48:37Okay, uh... Ma'am, since you're not going anywhere, how 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. You cannot leave my side.
00:48:52Okay. Okay.
00:48:53What is going on?
00:48:55Ouch!
00:48:56What? My mom's returned home?
00:48:57Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:48:58According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant, Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message about you and rushed back into the country.
00:49:04What was the text?
00:49:06It said, Mr. Hawthorne, you've been enchanted by a seductress.
00:49:09She's always had a temper.
00:49:10Okay. I'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. She'll probably be there.
00:49:20Alright, Mr. Hawthorne. I'll arrange it right away.
00:49:25Mom, please don't scare off the wife I finally got.
00:49:30How did the matter about Matriarch Robinson go?
00:49:33Rest assured, Ms. Hart. It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news and returned home immediately.
00:49:41Really? Then Alisa will be out of here soon.
00:49:45Yes. Congratulations in advance, Ms. Hart.
00:49:49Let's go. There's a weekly meeting of the business department and Lucian will be there personally.
00:49:55We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:49:58Amelia's gone on a work trip, so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:03If, if you get bored, you can just lay 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, the weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:18Alisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:21Alisa really treats the company as her home, bringing in anyone she likes.
00:50:26Seriously, so filthy. It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:50:33Alisa, 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, so I'm only bringing her here temporarily.
00:50:47I was going to help her find her family after work, and if she could just sit here for the time being, I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:50:54You mean you brought this old hag in off the street, and she's also sick?
00:51:00I think you're crazy. Picking up an old hag like this, reeking of poverty, stinking up the whole office?
00:51:05Where 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 in cleaner later to disinfect everywhere this lady's been.
00:51:20How could all of you be so cruel? Don't you all have families too?
00:51:24What if one of them had lost their memory, and needed your help?
00:51:27This girl, she's interesting. I'm not the one who's sick.
00:51:31You're sick!
00:51:33Disgusting.
00:51:35Elisa, our company has rules and regulations.
00:51:38It's not a place for you to show your kindness.
00:51:41Get this old hag out of here now.
00:51:46Get this old hag out of here now.
00:51:49Ms. Hart, there is nothing in our company policy that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:51:53In fact, it encourages us to do so.
00:51:55Oh, there isn't?
00:51:56Well, now there is.
00:51:58Do you have a problem?
00:52:01Ms. 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.
00:52:08Even if she asks security to drag you out, there's nothing you can do. Understand?
00:52:12How come the employees of the business department aren't like this?
00:52:18Lucien will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:21Elisa, you have two minutes.
00:52:23If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you.
00:52:27You can go beg on the street with her.
00:52:29Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:52:32God, Summer, you are really pushing it.
00:52:35Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:52:37I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:52:41As a low-level employee, you have contradicted me one too many times.
00:52:45And now you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne?
00:52:48You're fired.
00:52:51Two years.
00:52:52Two 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!
00:53:07Matthew, did I just hear this old hag say she's gonna fire us?
00:53:13She has a problem with her brain, that's why she's talking crazy.
00:53:17Ms. Hart is our president's wife-to-be. Firing her? Too ridiculous.
00:53:23Besides memory loss, is she also crazy?
00:53:26Why are they saying president's wife?
00:53:30Isn't it you?
00:53:31Are all of you quite finished? I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:53:34You are kind and righteous, so you never used Lucian's identity to gain power.
00:53:40But you?
00:53:41Okay, ma'am, it's okay. I'm going to help you find your family. Let's go.
00:53:45Why do we need to leave? Why don't they leave first?
00:53:47Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:53:50Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now!
00:53:53You've got guts. I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:06You actually dare to hit me? Ms. Hart?
00:54:18Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate. I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:54:23You don't have the authority.
00:54:24Of 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!
00:55:09With me here, they can't drive you away.
00:55:12I tell you, I am...
00:55:14Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:15Summer, 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?
00:55:25Fine. I guess we'll have another showdown.
00:55:28Explain.
00:55:29Well, it's like this. Elisa brought this woman in off the street, who smells terrible, and insisted on having her in the office, which was disrupting everyone's work, so I'm only thinking of the company.
00:55:39Yes, Mr. Hawthorne, what if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone?
00:55:44I take full responsibility for this incident. If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation.
00:55:51Hawthorne Group is not an impersonal company. Elisa'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... I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:07I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:11As for you, you can go to HR, and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:17He is the backbone of the business department. If you fire him, there'll be no elites left.
00:56:22Summer, you've managed the business department into a mess. You're responsible for that.
00:56:26I promise to manage the business department better. This won't happen again.
00:56:31Matthew, 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?
00:56:46I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
00:56:49Why are you apologizing first? This one almost just put me into a mental hospital.
00:56:52You old hag. How dare you ask me to apologize.
00:56:57Miss Hart? Apologize.
00:57:02Sorry.
00:57:03I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:10I was wrong. I'm sorry.
00:57:13And you guys?
00:57:18I'm sorry.
00:57:19Sorry.
00:57:22Have I been misunderstanding him all this time?
00:57:25Could it be?
00:57:26Well, that's the end of that matter.
00:57:28I'll take care of this lady and help her find her family.
00:57:36Listen, why did you call me over? What if Elisa finds out?
00:57:39Well, 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?
00:57:47She's great. You saw that.
00:57:52Oh, Lucien.
00:57:55You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:57:58That's enough.
00:58:01Fine.
00:58:03Look, um, Elisa is a very good girl.
00:58:07But it seems she doesn't even know that you like her.
00:58:10Nor does anyone else know that she's your wife.
00:58:13Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:16I don't know how to tell her.
00:58:19I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public,
00:58:22pressure 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.
00:58:31You don't want to wait till Elisa falls for some other guy before you feel regret, do you?
00:58:36Regret what?
00:58:39Nothing.
00:58:41Please, come sit.
00:58:44Elisa...
00:58:46I'm sorry. I was deceptive earlier.
00:58:49I...
00:58:51I'm actually Lucien's mother.
00:58:53What?
00:58:55Please, let me explain.
00:58:57Um, 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?
00:59:19Yes, Mrs. Hawthorne, I understand. You're just looking out for your son.
00:59:23But I am concerned that the person who sent that text must have had bad intentions.
00:59:28I have an idea who sent him. Go ahead.
00:59:30Good.
00:59:32And Elisa?
00:59:33I heard that Lucien plans on taking you to a very fancy dinner tonight.
00:59:37Okay?
00:59:39There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
00:59:52Lucien, why aren't you eating?
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:57Of course.
01:00:01Elisa, 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?
01:00:13Okay.
01:00:15I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:17You'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?
01:00:39Elisa, I've liked you for ten years.
01:00:43What?
01:00:46How could that possibly be true?
01:00:47From the first day we met, I fell for you.
01:00:49I 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.
01:01:03I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:07All these years I've suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:11Fought 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?
01:01:23I was afraid if I told you, if you didn't like me, you wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:01:37So what's wrong?
01:01:39So when you sat next to me all those years ago, it wasn't because you didn't like your food?
01:01:46Hey, I don't really like this.
01:01:53Yeah, I'm really sorry I couldn't show you my feelings in the proper way.
01:02:05But 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 tour from my parents.
01:02:17Well, why are all your passwords Summer's birthday?
01:02:20You mean 0903?
01:02:21What does that have to do with Summer? I don't even know her birthday.
01:02:25So then what's 0903 to you?
01:02:27Elisa 0903. September 3rd. It's the day we first met.
01:02:33So it was... it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:38So it was... it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:41Elisa...
01:02:43I 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, can 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.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:04I want to be with you.
01:03:06I want to be with you now and I want to be with you when we're old and...
01:03:08I love you.
01:03:10I love you.
01:03:20You're finally mine.
01:03:21Yours.
01:03:35Hey.
01:03:37From 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.
01:03:44Lucian, 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.
01:04:02So no matter how much you try to sow discord between us, it's never gonna work.
01:04:07What text messages? I...
01:04:08I have the evidence, Summer.
01:04:09Now, considering the relationship between our families, I'm gonna ask you to go ahead and submit your resignation from your team.
01:04:19As for everyone else, you all get off an hour early today.
01:04:24And you're invited to dinner with my wife.
01:04:27Yay!
01:04:28Yay!
01:04:29Yay!
