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?
00:01:22I have good wine.
00:01:33Elisa.
00:01:33Hey, Mom.
00:01:34Elisa!
00:01:36Hey, Mom.
00:01:37Please come home as soon as possible.
00:01:39I 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?
00:02:35We were supposed to meet in the conference room at 9.
00:02:37Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:40I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home,
00:02:42and, um, if you could please just tell management that-
00:02:47Hello?
00:02:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:51Fuck, 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...
00:03:06Mr. 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
00:03:31after, but you really don't-
00:03:32Look, I know some unfortunate things have happened in your family recently.
00:03:36Okay.
00:03:38This card has more than enough on it to pay off all your debts,
00:03:42and 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?
00:04:18Thank you so much for helping me.
00:04:20I promise I will pay you back every cent as soon as I can.
00:04:23You don't pay me back more than happy.
00:04:28I'm gonna get back to work then.
00:04:29Uh, Ronan will actually take you back.
00:04:32And I'll give you my home address, so you can move in tonight.
00:04:36Your home address?
00:04:39We're legally married.
00:04:40What'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.
00:04:49And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:58Alisa.
00:04:59You're finally mine.
00:05:05Oh my god!
00:05:06I'm so sorry.
00:05:07It was reading and I didn't see you there.
00:05:09No, no worries.
00:05:10It's fine.
00:05:15Can I have your name?
00:05:16I'm Alisa.
00:05:17I'm Alisa.
00:05:20Yo!
00:05:21Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:24Alright.
00:05:29It's real?
00:05:30If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella.
00:05:32Alright, give it back.
00:05:34Then watch your mouth.
00:05:39You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:41Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:42It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:43Oh, shh.
00:05:44I'll explain it to you later.
00:05:45Mrs. Alisa Hawthorne.
00:05:48You are the CEO's wife, so where is my pay rate?
00:05:51I couldn't help.
00:05:52We've known each other since middle school.
00:05:54I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:56Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:05:59Mrs. Hawthorne is back.
00:06:03Mrs. Hawthorne is back.
00:06:04Hello, everyone.
00:06:18Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:21Thank you, Miss Hart.
00:06:22You are so very kind.
00:06:24It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:26Please, don't flatter me.
00:06:29I 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 relationship public?
00:06:39Probably soon.
00:06:40Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone,
00:06:43the code is 0903, Miss Hart's birthday.
00:06:46Isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:48Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne to be so romantic.
00:06:50He usually puts on a poker face.
00:06:52Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne.
00:06:56Please don't talk about me.
00:06:59Okay.
00:07:08Okay.
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.
00:07:23He's just not getting his money back.
00:07:26Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:35Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:38Mr. 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?
00:07:50I know that we did that before, but...
00:07:54I was drunk.
00:07:56If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:07:57But...
00:07:58If I don't...
00:07:59Melissa?
00:08:00You okay?
00:08:01I'm fine.
00:08:02Thank you for asking.
00:08:03I'm fine.
00:08:04I'm fine.
00:08:05Thank you for asking.
00:08:06I'm fine.
00:08:07Thank you for asking.
00:08:08I'm fine.
00:08:09I'm fine.
00:08:10I'm fine.
00:08:11I'm fine.
00:08:12I'm fine.
00:08:13I'm fine.
00:08:14I'm fine.
00:08:15I'm fine.
00:08:16I'm fine.
00:08:17I'm fine.
00:08:18I'm fine.
00:08:19I'm fine.
00:08:20I'm fine.
00:08:21I'm fine.
00:08:22I'm...
00:08:23I'm not ready.
00:08:24I was...
00:08:25just gonna turn off the light.
00:08:26What'd you think I was gonna do?
00:08:28Oh, yeah.
00:08:29No.
00:08:30Don't get me wrong.
00:08:31I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:34Alyssa.
00:08:35I don't want some one night stand.
00:08:36I want to be your everything.
00:08:37Matthew!
00:08:38Why did the negotiations with the sunlight group fail?
00:08:39It's Alyssa's fault.
00:08:40If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have to go back.
00:08:42I'm fine.
00:08:43I'm fine.
00:08:44I'm fine.
00:08:45I'm fine.
00:08:46I'm fine.
00:08:47I'm fine.
00:08:48I'm fine.
00:08:49I'm fine.
00:08:50I'm fine.
00:08:51I'm fine.
00:08:52I'm fine.
00:08:53I'm fine.
00:08:54You're fine.
00:08:55I'm fine.
00:08:56I'm fine.
00:08:57I'm fine.
00:08:58I'm fine.
00:08:59I'm fine.
00:09:00I'm fine.
00:09:01I'm fine.
00:09:02I'm fine.
00:09:03If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:06How is it her fault?
00:09:07Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:10I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne entering her hotel room the night before Alyssa skipped work.
00:09:18What?
00:09:19What did you say to me?
00:09:20It is absolutely true.
00:09:22Not only did she cause our failure, but she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:33What?
00:09:34Matthew.
00:09:35You know how important our negotiations with the sunlight group is.
00:09:40And since it is your subordinates' fault, you know what to do.
00:09:46Right?
00:09:47Rest assured, I know what to do.
00:09:52Last night, with Lucian laying beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:00Hey, Lisa.
00:10:01Is this how you do your job?
00:10:04Look what trouble you brought us.
00:10:06It is because of you that we lost the project with the sunlight group.
00:10:09You're fired.
00:10:11Mr. Clark, I was only in charge of the initial budget, not the negotiations.
00:10:15I don't understand how this could be my fault.
00:10:17Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:23Did 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.
00:10:33Now 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 no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:10:47Wouldn't have affected the negotiations.
00:10:50Alisa, take a closer look.
00:10:52What did you write in the project budget?
00:10:54No.
00:10:55No, no, no, this isn't right.
00:10:56I wrote 50 million.
00:10:57How did it become 5 million?
00:10:58For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:00Alisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:01Looks like Alisa is in trouble.
00:11:02Alisa always strikes me as a professional.
00:11:03How could she make such an error?
00:11:04Keep it down.
00:11:05Can't you see?
00:11:06They're just trying to find someone to take responsibility.
00:11:07Wait, I have evidence to prove that my budget was correct.
00:11:13mistake. Elisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself? Looks like Elisa is
00:11:19in trouble. Elisa always strikes me as a professional. How could she make such an
00:11:24error? Keep it down. Can't you see? They're just trying to find someone to take
00:11:29responsibility. Wait, I have evidence to prove that my budget was correct.
00:11:38Evidence? Then why don't you show it to everyone? I have the dated source files on
00:11:44my computer that can show that I had the right numbers. No, no, they were right
00:11:48here. How could they be gone? Elisa, are you joking? Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:54Elisa, are you suggesting that Mr. Clark and Miss 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? I've seen the budget Elisa made. We all checked it as a team.
00:12:13Obviously, someone tampered with it. Are you saying that we are framing her? At the very least,
00:12:19she deserves a good reason to be fired. Fine. If anyone else can vouch for Elisa,
00:12:24I can give her a second chance. Anyone?
00:12:30Weren't you there when we checked that time? I don't remember.
00:12:35Since there's no one, Elisa, would you like to walk yourself out or would you like me to have someone
00:12:43escort you out?
00:12:49This better be something important. Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:53So, can't Summer handle it? She 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. They clearly just want someone to blame for this entire thing.
00:13:07So, what should we do then? Allow them to push all the blame onto you?
00:13:13Ms. 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. The evidence is right here. Where 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.
00:13:39There is no need for an investigation. You have already been fired.
00:13:44Since you refuse to leave, security, drag 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? What are you doing?
00:14:10Why is he here? Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:17Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:19Let her go.
00:14:22What's going on with these two? Am I fired or not? Could 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. But she refused to leave,
00:14:36disrupting everyone at work. So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:41Fired for what?
00:14:42Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne. The negotiations with the Sun Lake Group failed due to Elisa's mistake.
00:14:48We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:14:50You set me up with some half-baked plan. Tried to fire me and then called security.
00:14:55Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:14:57Elisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne.
00:15:02Lucian, see? She won't admit her mistakes and she even questions you in public.
00:15:09I've gotten out really fired.
00:15:13Elisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne. She has to be fired now.
00:15:21I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:23Pitying her? You're an employee too. Mind your own business.
00:15:27Elisa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:31Elisa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means? Hurry up and leave.
00:15:36Of course Lucian is on Summer's side. I'm just his wife out of nowhere.
00:15:43Surely I'm no match for his lover.
00:15:44Hold on.
00:15:56Did I tell you to leave?
00:15:57You're not angry?
00:15:58Why 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.
00:16:09At least for now.
00:16:10Lucian, 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?
00:16:23But 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,
00:16:34but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:36Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:16:39Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:41Is Lucian helping me?
00:16:42But 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.
00:17:08Mr. 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?
00:17:20Next time something like that happens, come see me and let me handle it.
00:17:23You're so busy, I didn't want to bother you.
00:17:29We'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 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.
00:18:06Elisa.
00:18:07Remember my words.
00:18:09Stay away from that girl.
00:18:10I can't really understand the data over here.
00:18:21Can you help me please?
00:18:29Ms. 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.
00:18:49I'm an analyst.
00:18:51I'm not an intern.
00:18:52What?
00:18:53Are you defying your superior?
00:18:55Someone is really ignorant.
00:18:57She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:18:59Now she's defined 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.
00:19:15Elisa, 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.
00:19:32I'll do it.
00:19:37Better 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 is so hot.
00:20:02It 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 now.
00:20:15Who told you you could mop the floor with that?
00:20:24If you damage the floors, can you afford to pay for them?
00:20:27How exactly would you like me to mop the floor, Ms. Hart?
00:20:30With a cloth on your hands and knees, inch by inch.
00:20:35Summer, don't you think you're going a little too far?
00:20:38What, can't handle it?
00:20:40You could always quit.
00:20:41Well, 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.
00:21:02Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:05Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:07Let's pay you to visit first.
00:21:07He was just apart from 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 on purpose.
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.
00:21:34You didn't!
00:21:36Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:39You didn't seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:21:44Sora, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:48Sora, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:50Lucian!
00:21:51Elisa, are you alright?
00:21:51Elisa 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.
00:22:04I don't blame her for it, but she insisted on wiping it up.
00:22:07I stepped on her by accident.
00:22:09I was about to apologize to her.
00:22:11Is that so?
00:22:13Elisa, 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?
00:22:19Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:23Come 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.
00:22:34Have a seat.
00:22:41Your hands hurt.
00:22:43You need an advantage.
00:22:45It's really fine.
00:22:47I can just go home and-
00:22:48No, no, I got it all right here.
00:22:49Have a seat.
00:22:55All right, let's see.
00:22:56You know, Summer is competent, but she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:03I can transfer you to another department if you can't bear her.
00:23:07Maybe mine, so 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.
00:23:25Okay, just don't let this hand touch water for a little bit.
00:23:28Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.
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.
00:23:50Hasn'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.
00:24:06I must find a way to teach you a lesson.
00:24:09A reunion party?
00:24:11A reunion party?
00:24:13The gods are favoring me.
00:24:16Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:19All right, it's ready.
00:24:26How 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?
00:24:36Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:24:39Um, well, I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:24:47What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:24:51Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:24:58Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about it.
00:25:02It's okay.
00:25:03Elisa.
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 I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond,
00:25:19so I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:20What? It'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.
00:25:33How 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.
00:25:47Summer, 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 say this?
00:25:58I'm busy.
00:25:59Leave.
00:26:00Lucian, 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.
00:26:15I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:19Is he going?
00:26:20Something on your mind?
00:26:21It's not a big deal, but there's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:25Are you going?
00:26:27Are you going?
00:26:30I don't know.
00:26:31Amelia 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?
00:26:38I actually have a meeting.
00:26:40I think I'll pass.
00:26:41Okay.
00:26:43Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:44I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:26:46No, you really don't have to do that.
00:26:48And I know it's far, so take this.
00:26:53Lucian, it's- that'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, take it.
00:27:13You're just giving this to me?
00:27:18Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:20Legally speaking, what's mine is yours.
00:27:24Thank 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.
00:27:38Seems 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.
00:27:51I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:53Maybe it's, um, a 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.
00:28:02No, 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?
00:28:12We 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, uh, 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.
00:28:28Hello, everyone.
00:28:37Long time no see.
00:28:39I'm so sorry we're late.
00:28:40So it's Elisa.
00:28:42What is it?
00:28:43The poor student back then is putting airs now?
00:28:49Did you make us wait on purpose?
00:28:51Did 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's still the streets 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.
00:29:20How well could she be doing?
00:29:22What 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 childhood friend.
00:29:39Bet Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:41Summer, come on, sit next to me.
00:29:44I've reserved the main seat for you.
00:29:47Sorry I'm late.
00:29:50Traffic was terrible.
00:29:52Never mind. It's our honor to have you.
00:29:55Summer, did you buy a new sports car?
00:29:57Not 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 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.
00:30:13Wow, 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?
00:30:23Such a lottery car and nothing but a toy to her.
00:30:26She can have as many as she wants.
00:30:28A bunch of snob.
00:30:30A bunch of snob.
00:30:32Alyssa, what car did you drive here?
00:30:37She? How could a poor girl like her afford a car? She must be taking the subway.
00:30:42What, does she race? That's the reason?
00:30:45Alyssa, 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?
00:30:59Be careful not to get her power distance all over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:03What nonsense are you talking about? Alyssa 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.
00:31:17Oh my god. What a big mouth.
00:31:20What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:23Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:26Alyssa, did you rent a car just to show off at the reunion?
00:31:30It's... it's not rented.
00:31:32Not rented? Who are you trying to fool? You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars, even if you're stuck yourself.
00:31:39Summer, is Hawthorne Group really that good? Even a little employee can afford such fancy convertible?
00:31:47Hardly. Although Hawthorne Group does have good benefits, it's not to that extent.
00:31:52With her salary, she could probably never afford it. Even if she worked herself to death.
00:31:58Alyssa, we're all classmates here. You don't have to pretend to be rich.
00:32:04It probably costs half of your salary to rent that car. It'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.
00:32:13Alyssa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:16Uh, poor? Can they have a disguise to be rich?
00:32:19I was hardy to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:26Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start anytime.
00:32:30All right.
00:32:31Oh hey, by the way, my wife is having a class reunion party. Invite someone over with some fine wine.
00:32:36Let her have some fun.
00:32:37Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:32:37I was hardy to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:44Alyssa, what's the point of lying? First you rent a car to show up at the reunion,
00:32:50and 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 Alyssa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:01It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry.
00:33:08Although I don't think so. If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:17So, Alyssa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:22Amelia, I think you should stay with Alyssa. She's got a bad influence on you.
00:33:32And what do you know? Alyssa's husband.
00:33:36Okay, okay, you guys keep partying. Uh, Amelia?
00:33:45Excuse me, these are the wines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:33:48Oh, 1982 Lafitte? But we didn't order these wines.
00:33:57I'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.
00:34:05Summer, this wine must be a special gift from Mr. Hawthorne for you.
00:34:09Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention from Mr. Hawthorne is Summer.
00:34:15Who else could it be? This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:19Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match in school,
00:34:22and now they're still so refreshing. I wonder if they're gonna get married soon.
00:34:26Of course! Summer is future president's wife.
00:34:31Unlike someone.
00:34:33Oh Alyssa, you see, you can never shake my bond with Lucian.
00:34:38Alright everyone, since Lucian sent over these wines, let's enjoy them together.
00:34:43But Summer, this is 1982 Lafitte.
00:34:46I 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 Alyssa drink it,
00:34:56she wouldn't know how good the Lafitte is.
00:34:58That's true. Comparing to her would be a waste.
00:35:01You're all wrong. This wine is for me.
00:35:06This wine is for me.
00:35:07Did 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?
00:35:16Mrs. Hawthorne? It's Summer.
00:35:19Are you daydreaming, Alyssa? Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:25Alyssa, 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 Lucian 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.
00:35:49How can you be so confident that the wine is for Summer?
00:35:52When Summer and Mr. Hawthorne started dating, Alyssa 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 how to pour things.
00:36:06Hey waiter, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorne give these wines to?
00:36:12Yeah, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorne give these wines to?
00:36:16So that someone can start daydreaming.
00:36:19These wines were given to Mrs. Alyssa's Vale by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:27What? This wine is from Lucian to Alyssa?
00:36:31There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:33How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Alyssa?
00:36:36Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucian to Alyssa's Vale.
00:36:42How could this be? What makes Alyssa so special that Lucian would treat her like this?
00:36:49Why are you all so silent now?
00:36:51You were so talkative and confident before.
00:36:55Is it because you're embarrassed?
00:36:56Okay, Amelia. Yeah, like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:37:00Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch.
00:37:04Could it be...
00:37:06Wait, what now, Lomania?
00:37:08Alyssa, 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.
00:37:19Oh my god, Lavinia, you really are imaginative.
00:37:23You should become a screenwriter. Really 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?
00:37:31How is that imagination?
00:37:33Lavinia, I think you've got a point.
00:37:37After all, lowly people are always so desperate for attention, right?
00:37:47Summer makes a valid point.
00:37:49Mr. Hawthorne and Alyssa are from completely different worlds.
00:37:52How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:54Go home and page your actors.
00:37:57Alyssa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:01If we hadn't gone to the same high school together,
00:38:04you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us, having meal,
00:38:08let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:11You all have gone too far.
00:38:13This is supposed to be a class reunion party and you're all targeting Alyssa.
00:38:18What are you trying to do?
00:38:19What are we trying to do?
00:38:22She needs to know her place instead of deceiving us with lies again and again.
00:38:27How dare she do it and not admit it?
00:38:30Yes, Summer, as the saying goes, ugly people make more trouble,
00:38:34but 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.
00:38:45We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:38:48You must have misunderstood.
00:38:49Elisa, 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.
00:39:24With this order from President Hawthorne, I don't have to worry about my performance for the rest of the month.
00:39:31I think I'm going to make Ms. Vale a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:38Hello?
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 fake 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.
00:40:05You'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?
00:40:13I'm my assistant.
00:40:13Well, 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.
00:40:21Well, 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.
00:40:30What is it?
00:40:32What are you doing?
00:40:35What is going on here?
00:40:38Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:45Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:48Yes, I did.
00:40:50In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:40:57That can't be possible.
00:40:58Her 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
00:41:15be sent by President Hawthorne to her. Does 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.
00:41:32How could there possibly be a mistake?
00:41:35But Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:41:40How 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.
00:41:49Is Lucian going to be angry with me for this?
00:41:54Whatever. Let's just enjoy this moment.
00:41:56What's going on? Did President Hawthorne really send the wine to Elisa?
00:42:00I have no idea.
00:42:01Maybe 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.
00:42:23I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucian's dream girl.
00:42:27When he finds out, I, the placeholder wife, am totally getting the...
00:42:32Legally, 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 me to drink right now?
00:42:43Yes.
00:42:44No.
00:42:45Yes.
00:42:45No.
00:42:46Come 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...
00:43:03I'm starting to feel like maybe he...
00:43:06Like...
00:43:08Is he actually someone...
00:43:09Hey, Lisa, 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?
00:43:20Are you real?
00:43:24Or am I dreaming?
00:43:26Well, no, you're not dreaming. I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:29Big gossip?
00:43:30No.
00:43:31I don't want to go home. I want to drink more.
00:43:34Hey, Lisa, you've had too much.
00:43:37You're gonna have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:39Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:43:42Come on.
00:43:43I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:43:47Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:43:51Come on.
00:43:55All right, ready? Three, two, one.
00:43:57Okay, here we go.
00:44:05Mr. Hawthorne, here I am, working overtime in the middle of the...
00:44:10Driving at this speed, it's going to be sort of easy.
00:44:13Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:44:18Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:44:20Actually, I've been in love with you for 10 years, ever since I first saw you.
00:44:27Back then, the internal struggles in the Hawthorne family were severe, and my father was also...
00:44:35Lucian?
00:44:35Lucian, let your father rest in peace.
00:44:41You're all I've got now.
00:44:47Anyway, 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.
00:45:05Elisa 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,
00:45:17and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:20Oh?
00:45:21What 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.
00:46:13When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:17It'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.
00:46:38Patriarch 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 own, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:46:47She turned him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:46:55Book me a flight.
00:46:56I need to go back immediately.
00:46:58Oh my god.
00:47:02Are we being late again today?
00:47:04Oh my god.
00:47:05I'm so sorry.
00:47:08I'm so sorry.
00:47:09You need to pay for this.
00:47:12It was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:14I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:16Are you trying to leave me?
00:47:17Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation.
00:47:20Having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:23What?
00:47:23How did I-
00:47:25Okay.
00:47:26Here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:29Yeah.
00:47:30Well, are you going to help me up?
00:47:33Are you okay?
00:47:34No, I am not okay.
00:47:36My 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.
00:47:40Ow.
00:47:41How can a young girl be so bad?
00:47:43She hits somebody.
00:47:44Doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:47:46She looks good.
00:47:47But she's on me on the inside.
00:47:49No, no, no.
00:47:49The truth is that-
00:47:51Never mind.
00:47:52Okay, uh, ma'am, do you have your family's contact information?
00:47:57I can help you reach out to them.
00:47:58Family?
00:48:01Who are my family?
00:48:04I don't remember.
00:48:07You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:09Uh, I 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.
00:48:17What do I do?
00:48:18I-
00:48:19How 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.
00:48:35Okay, 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.
00:48:49You cannot leave my side.
00:48:51Okay, okay.
00:48:52What is going on?
00:48:54Oh, oh, oh, ouch!
00:48:55What?
00:48:56My mom's returned home?
00:48:57Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:48:58According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant, Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message
00:49:03about you and rushed back into the country.
00:49:04What was the text?
00:49:05It said, Mr. 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?
00:49:16I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist, I should probably be there.
00:49:20All right, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:21I'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.
00:49:35It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news and returned home immediately.
00:49:40Really?
00:49:42Then Alisa will be out of here soon.
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46Congratulations in advance, Ms. Hart.
00:49:49Let's go.
00:49:50There'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.
00:50:05If, if you get bored, you can just play on my phone.
00:50:08Okay, 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!
00:50:15Weekly 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 in 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?
00:50:37If 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.
00:50:53Elisa, you mean you brought this old hag in off the street and she's also sick?
00:50:59I 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?
00:51:07What 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.
00:51:19How 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!
00:51:34Disgusting. Elisa, 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. Well, now there is.
00:52:00Do you have a problem? Ms. 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?
00:52:14How come the employees of the business department are like this?
00:52:18Lucian will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:21Elisa, you have two minutes. If 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. Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:52:33Summer, you are really pushing it. Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:52:38I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:52:39As a low-level employee, you have contradicted me one too many times and now you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne, you're fired.
00:52:51Two years, two years away from this company and I never thought that the business department of the Hawthorne group would decay into the state.
00:52:59Alisa will not be fired. You 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.
00:53:17Ms. 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? Isn'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 Lucien's identity to gain power. But 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.
00:53:51Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now.
00:54:02You've got guts. I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:14You actually dared to hit me, Ms. Hart?
00:54:18Alisa, 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
00:54:35find her family to let them handle it. If you and Matthew hadn't instigated this, none of this would have
00:54:40happened. This 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.
00:54:52Oh, are you angry? Matthew, 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. I tell you, I am...
00:55:14Summer, what are you doing? Summer, what are you doing?
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. Explain.
00:55:29Well, 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, so I'm only thinking
00:55:39of the company. Yes, Mr. Hawthorne. What if she has some contagious disease and infects
00:55:44everyone? I 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.
00:56:08I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:10As for you, you can go to HR, and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:18He 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.
00:56:27I 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.
00:56:48Why 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.
00:57:02Sorry. I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:10I was wrong. I'm sorry.
00:57:14And you guys?
00:57:14I'm sorry.
00:57:19Sorry.
00:57:22Have I been misunderstanding him all this time? Could it be?
00:57:25Well, that's the end of that matter. I'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?
00:57:41I want to test my daughter-in-law.
00:57:44Haven't you tested her enough today? She's great. You saw that.
00:57:52Oh, 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.
00:58:06But 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?
00:58:17I 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.
00:58:23Lucien, when did you become such a coward?
00:58:27Look, if you like her, just confess boldly.
00:58:32You don't want to wait till Elisa falls for some other guy before you feel regret.
00:58:36Do 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.
00:58:56What?
00:59:00Please, let me explain.
00:59:02Um, a few days ago I got an anonymous text saying that some woman was trying to seduce Lucien,
00:59:09and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:13Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:16Yes, 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.
00:59:27I have an idea who sent him. Go ahead.
00:59:29Good.
00:59:31And Elisa, I 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.
00:59:43Lucien, why aren't you eating?
00:59:55Yeah.
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?
01:00:08Okay.
01:00:15I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:18You've liked Summer for 10 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 10 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 10 years?
01:00:39Elisa, I've liked you for 10 years.
01:00:44What?
01:00:46How 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.
01:00:56I 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.
01:01:11Fought tooth and nail to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:15And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:01:21So why now?
01:01:25And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:01:29So why now?
01:01:31I was afraid if I told you, you didn't like me,
01:01:34and I wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:01:36And so what's wrong?
01:01:39So when you sat next to me all those years ago,
01:01:41it wasn't because you didn't like your food?
01:01:44Hey, I don't really like this.
01:01:58Yeah, I'm really sorry.
01:02:00I couldn't show you my feelings in the proper way.
01:02:05But then why did you write some of that love letter back then?
01:02:10One love letter.
01:02:11I only remember delivering a party invitation to her from my parents.
01:02:17Well, why are all your passwords Summer's birthday?
01:02:19You mean 0903?
01:02:22What does that have to do with Summer?
01:02:23I don't even know her birthday.
01:02:25So then what's 0903 to you?
01:02:27Elisa 0903, September 3rd.
01:02:30It's the day we first met.
01:02:31So it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:38So it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:41Elisa, 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 can you try to accept me?
01:02:56I know that our marriage started as a contract,
01:02:58but it feels real to me now.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:04I want to be with you.
01:03:05I want to be with you now,
01:03:07and I want to be with you when we're old and...
01:03:10I love you.
01:03:11You'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,
