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?
00:01:22.
00:01:34Elisa?
00:01:35Hey, Mom.
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?
00:02:04I'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?
00:02:32Lisa, where are you?
00:02:34Don't you remember where we were supposed to meet?
00:02:36In the conference room at 9.
00:02:38Manager Smith's gone crazy looking for you.
00:02:40I'm so sorry, but something unexpected happened at home,
00:02:42and, um, if you could please just tell management that-
00:02:45Hello?
00:02:48No, no, no, no, no, no, fuck, fuck.
00:02:53I just lost my house, and now I'm gonna lose my job too?
00:02:56Where am I gonna find a million dollars?
00:03:02Lisa?
00:03:04Why are you crying?
00:03:06Um...
00:03:10Mr. 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?
00:03:18I need you to be my wife.
00:03:21Give it a thought.
00:03:24Mr. Hawthorne, I was really drunk last night,
00:03:29and I can't remember how everything happened after,
00:03:31but you really don't-
00:03:32Look, I know some unfortunate things have happened in your family recently.
00:03:36This card has more than enough on it 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.
00:04:00I need a wife.
00:04:02And you're the most suitable person.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:11It's for my family.
00:04:13I have no other way.
00:04:17Mr. Hawthorne?
00:04:19Thank you so much for helping me.
00:04:21I promise I will pay you back every cent as soon as I can.
00:04:24You don't pay me back more than happy.
00:04:28I'm gonna get back to work then.
00:04:30Uh, Ronan will actually...
00:04:32take you back.
00:04:33And I'll give you my home address, so 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.
00:04:44This is a deal.
00:04:45I can't just take the money and give nothing in return.
00:04:48I can get myself to work.
00:04:50And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:52I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:59Elisa.
00:05:00You're finally mine.
00:05:05Oh my god!
00:05:07I'm so sorry.
00:05:08It was reading and I didn't see you there.
00:05:10No worries, it's fine.
00:05:12Can I have your name?
00:05:13I'm Elisa.
00:05:15Yo!
00:05:17Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:20Alright.
00:05:22It's real?
00:05:23If your mom finds out you married a Cinderella.
00:05:25Alright, give it back.
00:05:27Then watch your mouth.
00:05:29You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:31It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:33I'll explain it to you later.
00:05:34Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne.
00:05:36You are the CEO's wife, so where is my pay rate?
00:05:38I couldn't help.
00:05:40We've known each other since Middle School.
00:05:41I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:43Us?
00:05:44I've been in the company.
00:05:46I've been in the company.
00:05:48I've been in the company.
00:05:49I've been in the company.
00:05:51I've been in the company.
00:05:52I've been in the company.
00:05:54I've been in the company.
00:05:55I don't think he actually likes me. Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with me.
00:06:02Miss Hart is back!
00:06:17Hello everyone. Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:22Thank you, Miss Hart. You are so very kind.
00:06:25It's really such an honor to work with you.
00:06:27Please, don't flatter me. I have to go see Mr. Hawthorne right now. He must want to see me right now.
00:06:34Save a slice for me, honey.
00:06:37When do you think they will make their own relationship public?
00:06:39Probably soon. Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone, the code is 0903, Miss Hart's birthday, and isn't it a little too obvious?
00:06:48Wow, I never knew Mr. Hawthorne to be so romantic. He usually puts on a poker face.
00:06:52Amelia, my relationship with Mr. Hawthorne.
00:06:57Please, 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.
00:07:23He's just not getting his money back.
00:07:25Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:37Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:39Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should talk-
00:07:40Call him in.
00:07:41What should I do?
00:07:42Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:07:43I know that we did that before, but...
00:07:44I was drunk.
00:07:45What should I do?
00:07:46Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:07:48I know that we did that before, but...
00:07:49I was drunk.
00:07:50If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:07:51But...
00:07:52If I don't...
00:07:53Melissa?
00:07:54You okay?
00:07:55I'm fine.
00:07:56What should I do?
00:07:57What should I do?
00:07:58Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:07:59I know that we did that before, but...
00:08:00I was drunk.
00:08:01If I turn him down, will he get angry?
00:08:02But...
00:08:03If I don't...
00:08:04Melissa?
00:08:05You okay?
00:08:06I'm fine.
00:08:07Thank you for asking.
00:08:16I'm...
00:08:21I'm not ready.
00:08:34I'm not ready.
00:08:36I was just going to turn off the light.
00:08:40What did you think I was going to do?
00:08:42Oh, yeah. No.
00:08:44Don't get me wrong. I just meant I wasn't ready to sleep yet.
00:08:48Elisa, I don't want some one-night stand.
00:08:52I want to be your everything.
00:08:58Matthew, why did the negotiations with the Sunlight Group fail?
00:09:02It's Elisa's fault.
00:09:03If she hadn't skipped work that day, we could have succeeded.
00:09:06How is it her fault? Please give me a reasonable explanation.
00:09:10I heard someone saw Mr. Hawthorne entering her hotel room the night before Elisa skipped work.
00:09:18What? What did you say to me?
00:09:21It is absolutely true.
00:09:22Not only did she cause our failure, but she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:33Matthew, you know how important our negotiations with the Sunlight Group is.
00:09:41And since it is your subordinates' fault, you know what to do, right?
00:09:48Rest assured, I know what to do.
00:09:56Last night, with Lucian laying beside me, I couldn't sleep at all.
00:10:01Elisa, is this how you do your job? Look what trouble you brought us. It is because of you
00:10:07that we lost the project with Sunlight Group. You're fired.
00:10:10Mr. Clark, I was only in charge of the initial budget, not the negotiations. I don't understand how this could be my fault.
00:10:17Did you forget about your unexcused absence last time?
00:10:24Did 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.
00:10:29So what? We 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.
00:10:48Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:10:51Elisa, take a closer look. What did you write in the project budget?
00:10:58No. No, no, no, this isn't right. I wrote 50 million. How did it become 5 million?
00:11:08For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:14Elisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:17Looks like Elisa is in trouble.
00:11:20Elisa always strikes me as a professional. How could she make such an error?
00:11:24Keep it down. Can't you see? They're just trying to find someone to take responsibility.
00:11:33Wait. I have evidence to prove that my budget was correct.
00:11:38Evidence? Then why don't you show it to everyone?
00:11:41I have the dated source files on my computer that can show that I had the right numbers.
00:11:46No. No, they were right here. How could they be gone?
00:11:50Elisa, are you joking? Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:54Elisa?
00:11:56Are you suggesting that Mr. Clark and Ms. Hart are conspiring against you?
00:12:00You better pack up and leave now before making a bigger fool out of yourself.
00:12:04What are you saying? I've seen the budget Elisa made. We all checked it as a team.
00:12:09Obviously someone tampered with it.
00:12:14Are you saying that we are framing her?
00:12:16At the very least, she deserves a good reason to be fired.
00:12:19Fine. If anyone else can vouch for Elisa, I can give her a second chance. Anyone?
00:12:29Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:31I don't remember.
00:12:32Since there's no one, Elisa, would you like to walk yourself out? Or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:47This better be something important.
00:12:49Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:52So? Can't Summer handle it?
00:12:54She started it. Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:12:58Let'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?
00:13:13Ms. Hart?
00:13:14Mr. Clark?
00:13:15I'll step down from my position.
00:13:17But I will never admit to mistakes that I didn't make.
00:13:20I will get down to the bottom of this.
00:13:22You're shameless.
00:13:23The evidence is right here.
00:13:25Where do you get the nerve to deny it?
00:13:27Besides the project book, there's also surveillance footage.
00:13:30And there are computer backend logs.
00:13:32All of these will prove that my budget was correct.
00:13:34And I will investigate this until the end.
00:13:38There is no need for an investigation.
00:13:41You have already been fired.
00:13:44Since you refused to leave...
00:13:46Security?
00:13:48Drag her out.
00:13:49Elisa, 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?
00:14:14Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:17Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:20Let her go.
00:14:22What's going on with these two?
00:14:24Am I fired or not?
00:14:26Could it be I'm just a pawn in their game?
00:14:29Care to explain what's going on?
00:14:30Well, Elisa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her.
00:14:34But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work.
00:14:37So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:40Fired for what?
00:14:41Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:14:43The negotiations with the Sunlight Group failed due to Elisa's mistake.
00:14:47We had to let her go according to company regulations.
00:14:50You set me up with some half-baked plan.
00:14:52Tried to fire me and then called security.
00:14:54Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:14:57Elisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne?
00:15:02Lucian, see?
00:15:03She won't admit her mistakes and she even questions you in public.
00:15:09Oh God, now I'm really fired.
00:15:12Elisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:15:16She has to be fired now.
00:15:21I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:23Pitying her?
00:15:24You're an employee too.
00:15:25Mind your own business.
00:15:28Elisa, you sure aren't bald, aren't you?
00:15:31Elisa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means?
00:15:34Hurry up and leave.
00:15:35Of course Lucian is on Summer's side.
00:15:38I'm just his wife out of nowhere.
00:15:42Surely I'm no match for his lover.
00:15:50Hold 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.
00:16:06So what you're saying is I'm not fired.
00:16:09At least for now.
00:16:13Lucian, Elisa not only made mistakes on this project, but she was absent from work without permission.
00:16:17And she defied you in public.
00:16:19Summer, I'll handle company policy, okay?
00:16:22But we never, ever fire an employee for no reason.
00:16:26I...
00:16:28I agree with Lucian.
00:16:30Matthew, I told you to wait till the investigation was done, but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:36Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now.
00:16:38Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:39Is 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?
00:16:54Elisa, you are damn lucky this time.
00:16:58But you won't be for the next time.
00:17:09Mr. 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?
00:17:17Do you think that's why I brought you here?
00:17:19Next time something like that happens, come see me.
00:17:22And let me handle it.
00:17:24You're so busy.
00:17:25I 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.
00:17:35Don'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?
00:17:48Even 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.
00:18:06Remember my words.
00:18:08Stay away from that girl.
00:18:15Elisa, when you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office...
00:18:18Amelia!
00:18:19I can't really understand the data over here. Can you help me, please?
00:18:22Ms. Hart, may I help you?
00:18:23You are still under investigation. Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:37But 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.
00:18:43Can't you see the trash is full? Clean it.
00:18:47Ms. Hart.
00:18:49I'm an analyst. I'm not an intern.
00:18:52What? Are you defying your superior?
00:18:55Someone is really ignorant. She hasn't been clarified yet. Now she's defying her superior. Does she think she owns the company?
00:19:01Right? Ms. Hart is not just a daughter of a noble family. She also has an unusual relationship with our president.
00:19:10It would be in your best interest to help Ms. Hart with the trifle. Stop being ungrateful.
00:19:15Elisa, I can have you fired for defying your superior. So you better choose wisely.
00:19:20You're right. I like my job and I'm going to become an excellent executive in my dream company.
00:19:29Fine. I'll do it.
00:19:39Better to bend than break, huh? It doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:47Ms. Hart? Your coffee?
00:19:49Hand it to me.
00:19:59Oh my god, this coffee is so hot. It almost burned me alive.
00:20:03Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:05Don't you know I only drink ice Americano? Who hired you anyway?
00:20:09I'm so sorry. I will go buy you one right now.
00:20:11Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:19Who told you you could mop the floor with that? If 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?
00:20:37What? Can't handle it? You could always quit.
00:20:46Well, by that I guess you mean I should act like your wife all the time?
00:20:52Even while we're at work?
00:20:54Mr. Hawthorne, there's an upcoming online meeting with an overseas company.
00:21:00Uh-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 apart from Mrs. Hawthorne and he's already so eager to see her. He's completely in love for that.
00:21:13Sorry.
00:21:16Ms. Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:19Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
00:21:26Elisa, when you were seducing Lucian when I was away, have you ever thought of today?
00:21:32I didn't seduce him.
00:21:35You didn't! Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:39You didn't!
00:21:41Then you must be prepared for my repentance.
00:21:44Summer, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:48Summer, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:49Lucian!
00:21:50Elisa, are you alright?
00:21:51Elisa is still on their investigation, right?
00:21:53She's not suitable for working on company projects, so I had her doing simpler tasks like fetching me coffee, but 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, but she insisted on wiping it up. I stepped on her by accident. I 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.
00:22:16Even 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!
00:22:28Why 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. You need an advantage.
00:22:45It's, it's really fine. I can just go home and-
00:22:47No, 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, but she can be bossy and overbearing. I can transfer you to another department. If you can't bear her. Maybe mine. So we can spend more time together.
00:23:08No, no, I'm fine in the business department.
00:23:12Elisa, you're my wife. I don't want you to be bullied anymore.
00:23:16Stop pretending like you don't know she only does that because she's in love with you.
00:23:20Okay, last step.
00:23:25Okay, just don't let this hand touch water for a little bit.
00:23:28Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:23:31It's just the two of us.
00:23:33You can call me by my name.
00:23:35Well, we're at work. I thought I shouldn't.
00:23:37Yeah, why shouldn't you?
00:23:39Lucian, why did you marry me? And why do you keep defending me?
00:23:43Do you really not know why?
00:23:45We'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.
00:24:04You sure are good at playing naive.
00:24:06I must find a way to teach you a lesson.
00:24:11A reunion party?
00:24:12The gods are favoring me.
00:24:15Elisa, I must teach you a lesson this time.
00:24:23All right. It's ready.
00:24:26How many slices do you want?
00:24:28Mom, what's wrong?
00:24:30Elisa, isn't our house supposed to be auctioned off by the court to pay off our debts?
00:24:37Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:24:39Um...
00:24:42Well...
00:24:44I 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?
00:24:53Since 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.
00:25:04Mom...
00:25:08Hey!
00:25:09Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:10What'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, so...
00:25:19I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:21What? It's been ages.
00:25:23Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:26Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:28Just leave it over there.
00:25:29How about we grab a drink tonight? I know a good place.
00:25:39I actually have plans tonight.
00:25:41If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:43Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:46Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:25:48Please, leave.
00:25:53Hold on.
00:25:54Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:25:56Summer, how many ways do I have to say this?
00:25:58I'm busy! Leave!
00:26:00Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:26:03But ever since Elisa came, you'll become colder and colder.
00:26:07Elisa, I won't let you off easily.
00:26:10I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:18Is he going?
00:26:20Something on your mind?
00:26:22It's not a big deal, but...
00:26:24There's the high school reunion party later.
00:26:26Are you going?
00:26:28Are you going?
00:26:30I don't know.
00:26:32Emilia made a good point that we don't really see each other that often.
00:26:34Thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:36Um, you know what?
00:26:38I actually have a meeting.
00:26:40I think I'll pass.
00:26:42Okay. Yeah, that's fine.
00:26:44I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:26:46You really don't have to do that.
00:26:48And I know it's far, so...
00:26:50Take this.
00:26:52Lucian, it's...
00:26:54That's way too expensive.
00:26:56I'm just going to take the subway.
00:26:58Elisa, I'm capable of offering you a better life.
00:27:01Why would you take the subway?
00:27:03Consider this a gift.
00:27:05Lucian is acting like he actually likes me.
00:27:08What game is he playing?
00:27:11Come on. Take it.
00:27:15You're just giving this to me?
00:27:17Well, I'm your husband.
00:27:19Legally speaking, what's mine is yours.
00:27:21Well, thank you then.
00:27:22This is a customized version.
00:27:23Probably cost millions.
00:27:24Jesus, Elisa!
00:27:25If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:26Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:27:28You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:27:31He does treat me well, though.
00:27:33You know all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:35I don't know.
00:27:36I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:37Maybe it's, um, a misunderstanding or a coincidence.
00:27:41I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer.
00:27:42I don't think he's into her.
00:27:43No, that's just because he's trying to keep the down low at work.
00:27:44I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:46Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:27:47You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:27:50He does treat me well, though.
00:27:51You know all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:53I don't know.
00:27:54I'm probably just overthinking.
00:27:55Maybe it's, um, a misunderstanding or a coincidence.
00:27:58I feel like Mr. Hawthorne is quite cold to Summer.
00:28:00I 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.
00:28:18Do you know what I mean?
00:28:20I have absolutely no idea what you mean because you sound crazy.
00:28:23You... Oh, I'm done.
00:28:24You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:26Well, we're late, so we have to go.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:28Hello, everyone. Long time no see.
00:28:38I'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?
00:28:53Did you plan to arrive late deliberately to attract our attention?
00:28:56Elisa, you were still using the same lame tricks as back then, aren't you?
00:29:02Who wants to pay attention to her?
00:29:05After all this year, she still speaks of poverty.
00:29:08Hey, don't say such words.
00:29:09What if she's doing well and busy with work?
00:29:13Maybe 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?
00:29:21What do you mean by that?
00:29:22What do you mean by that?
00:29:23Elisa and I were just...
00:29:27Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:28Although 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.
00:29:38Best somewhere 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.
00:29:52Never 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.
00:30:09It'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.
00:30:27She can have as many as she wants.
00:30:29A bunch of snot.
00:30:30Um, shh.
00:30:32Elisa, 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?
00:30:45Elisa, the subway will soon stop running.
00:30:48Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:30:50Oh Summer, you're still so kind-hearted.
00:30:53But how could somebody as low as her be riding in your luxury car?
00:30:58Be careful not to get her power distance all over you. It probably won't come off.
00:31:03What nonsense are you talking about?
00:31:05Elisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:08She drove here.
00:31:10And a fancy new limited edition convertible.
00:31:14Something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:16Oh my god, what a big mouth.
00:31:20What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:23Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:26Elisa, 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?
00:31:35You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars even if you're stuck yourself.
00:31:38Summer, 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.
00:31:53With her salary, she could probably never afford it. Even if she worked herself to death.
00:31:58Elisa, 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.
00:32:13Elisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:16Of course. Can they have a disguise to be rich?
00:32:19I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:23Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Walker's arrived. The meeting can start anytime.
00:32:29Alright.
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.
00:32:36Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:32:38It was hardy to disappoint you, but it's not rented. It's a gift from my husband.
00:32:44Elisa, what's the point of lying? First you rent a car to show up at the reunion,
00:32:49and 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 Elisa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:02It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry.
00:33:07Although I don't think so. If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:16So, Elisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:22Amelia, I think you should stay with Elisa. She got a bad influence on you.
00:33:29And what do you know? Elisa's husband.
00:33:35Okay, okay, you guys keep partying.
00:33:38Uh, Amelia? Let's go.
00:33:44Excuse me, these are the wines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:33:50Oh!
00:33:521982 Lafitte? But we didn't order these wines!
00:33:56I'll send you something else since I can't be there.
00:33:59The 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 for Mr. Hawthorne for you.
00:34:09Yeah, the only one among us who deserves such attention for Mr. Hawthorne is Summer.
00:34:15Who else could it be?
00:34:16This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:18Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match in school,
00:34:21and now they are still so affectionate. I wonder if they're gonna get married soon.
00:34:26Of course! Summer's future president's wife.
00:34:30Unlike someone.
00:34:32Oh Elisa, you see, you can never shake my bond with Lucien.
00:34:38Alright everyone, since Lucien sent over these wines, let's enjoy them together.
00:34:42But Summer, this is 1982 Lafitte.
00:34:45I think some people here are not worthy of drinking such fine wine.
00:34:51They say cast your pearls before swine. Even if you let Elisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good the Lafitte is.
00:34:57That's true! Compared to her would be a waste.
00:35:00You're all wrong. This wine is for me. This wine is for me.
00:35:06Did I hear that right? You said that this wine was given to you by Mr. Hawthorne?
00:35:12It's hilarious. Do you think you're Mrs. Hawthorne?
00:35:15Mrs. Hawthorne? It's Summer.
00:35:19Are you daydreaming, Elisa? 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,
00:35:30now you're jealous of my relationship with Lucien and want to claim the wines that are given to me.
00:35:35Don't you know that even if you try your hardest, what's not meant for you will never, never be yours.
00:35:43Oh 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?
00:35:52When Summer and Mr. Hawthorne started dating, Elisa was somewhere picking up trash.
00:35:58All you ever do is talk. Why the hell would I lie about something like this?
00:36:02Who knows? After all, you don't understand how the poor thinks.
00:36:05Hey, waiter. Tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wines to?
00:36:11Yeah, tell us. Who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:15So that someone can start daydreaming.
00:36:18These wines were given to Mrs. Elisvale by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:27What? This wine is from Lucien to Elisa? There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:32How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Elisa?
00:36:35Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucien to Ms. Vale.
00:36:42How could this be? What makes Elisa so special that Lucien would treat her like this?
00:36:48Why are you all so silent now? You were so talkative and confident before.
00:36:54Is it because you're embarrassed?
00:36:56Okay, Amelia. Yeah, like I said, I don't need to lie.
00:36:59Mr. Hawthorne would never send wine to this bitch. Could it be...
00:37:05Wait. What now, Lavinia?
00:37:07Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:11After being exposed about the car keys, you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us.
00:37:18Oh, my God. Lavinia, you really are imaginative. You should become a screenwriter.
00:37:23Really got a hit on your hands.
00:37:24What? Are you getting agitated because I've uncovered the truth
00:37:28and here I am stating the facts. How is that imagination?
00:37:34Lavinia, I think you've got a point.
00:37:37After all, lonely people are always so desperate for attention, right?
00:37:47Summer makes a valid point. Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:37:51How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:54Go home and page your actors.
00:37:56Elisa, I think there's something you should know.
00:38:00If we hadn't gone to the same high school together, you wouldn't have any chance of sitting here with us,
00:38:06having meal, let alone getting to know Mr. Hawthorne.
00:38:11You 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?
00:38:18What are we trying to do?
00:38:20What are we trying to do?
00:38:22She needs to know her place instead of deceiving us with lies again and again.
00:38:26How dare she do it and not admit it?
00:38:28Yes, Summer, as the saying goes, ugly people make more trouble, but poor people make even more trouble.
00:38:36I couldn't care less what you think of me, but I didn't hire actors for this.
00:38:42We are all regular employees of the hotel. We cannot be hired as private actors. You must have misunderstood.
00:38:48Misunderstood?
00:38:58Elisa, you really are hopeless. You found some actors and got two bottles of fake wine thinking you could show off at the reunion party?
00:39:08This cheap wine is only good for making noise when he chatters.
00:39:23With this order from President Hawthorne, I don't have to worry about my performance for the rest of the month.
00:39:30I think I'm going to make Ms. Vale a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:35Hello?
00:39:38No good, Mr. Carlos. Ms. Vale is in trouble.
00:39:41What? I'm coming over.
00:39:44Damaging someone else's property?
00:39:46Lavinia, you have never been one to consider the consequences of doing whatever Summer tells you to do.
00:39:50How much can a big bottle of wine be worth?
00:39:54I'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.
00:40:10Security! Where's the security?
00:40:12I'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.
00:40:19Well, this is Summer Hart, fiance of the president of Hawthorne's group. And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:29What is it?
00:40:30What are you doing?
00:40:32What is going on here?
00:40:36Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:44Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:47Yes, I did. In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:40:55That can't be possible. Her family went bankrupt years ago. She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:02Let me correct myself. Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest, not only is she our VVVIP customer, but the wine was arranged to be sent by President Hawthorne to her.
00:41:18Does my word count? Does it have any weight around here?
00:41:21Mr. Carlos, there must be some mistake.
00:41:24Well, 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?
00:41:39How am I supposed to know what Lucien is thinking?
00:41:42You said that you would pay me back tenfold.
00:41:45Forget the tenfold. Just pay me the original price.
00:41:51Is Lucien going to be angry with me for this? Whatever. 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. Maybe Summer is just lying and she's being presumptuous about Mr. Hawthorne.
00:42:07So Summer, what's the best way for you to pay me back for this?
00:42:10You 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.
00:42:22I know, but I feel like everyone knows that Summer is Lucien's dream girl.
00:42:27When he finds out I, the placeholder wife, I'm totally getting the...
00:42:31Legally, you are Mr. Hawthorne's wife.
00:42:33You are literally the President's wife. You have the high ground. What are you so afraid of?
00:42:38Come on. Let's go drink and celebrate.
00:42:41You actually want a drink right now?
00:42:42Yes.
00:42:43No.
00:42:44Yes.
00:42:45No.
00:42:46Come on.
00:42:47Okay, it's my heart.
00:42:54Amelia, be honest with me, okay?
00:42:56What is this?
00:42:57I don't...
00:42:58I don't understand why Lucien wanted to marry me.
00:43:01I 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...
00:43:09Elisa, I have something I have to attend to so I'm going to be leaving now.
00:43:14What?
00:43:15Wait, no.
00:43:16Are you...
00:43:17gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:22Are you real?
00:43:24Or am I dreaming?
00:43:26Well, no, you're not dreaming.
00:43:27I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:28They gossip?
00:43:30No.
00:43:31I don't want to go home.
00:43:32I want to drink more.
00:43:34Elisa, you've had too much.
00:43:36You're gonna have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:38Oh, who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:43:41Come on.
00:43:43I can't walk.
00:43:44So I could just live here.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:48I will carry you back then.
00:43:52Come on.
00:43:54Alright, ready?
00:43:55Three, two, one.
00:43:57Okay, here we go.
00:43:58Mr. Hawthorne.
00:43:59Here I am.
00:44:00Working overtime in the middle of the room.
00:44:01Driving at this speed.
00:44:02It's gonna be sort of nice.
00:44:03I know.
00:44:04I know.
00:44:05What's going on?
00:44:06We're going on time and sitting there.
00:44:07And here I am.
00:44:08Working overtime.
00:44:09In the middle of the room.
00:44:10Driving at this speed.
00:44:11It's gonna be sort of nice and a great way.
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 10 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...
00:44:34Lucian?
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.
00:44:51But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:44:54Could you give me a chance?
00:44:58Yeah.
00:45:00Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:08Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed.
00:45:11She's the worst!
00:45:13I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:20Oh? What is it?
00:45:23What is it?
00:45:24Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:45:28If we tell her about Elisa seducing Mr. Hawthorne, then...
00:45:33Good idea.
00:45:35Mia is the matriarch of the Hawthorne family.
00:45:38She'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.
00:45:58I 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.
00:46:15It's my pleasure to help you, Miss Hart.
00:46:22I just hope that when you become the President's wife, you won't forget me.
00:46:29Of course not.
00:46:30Mr. Hawthorne, you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:46:42What does it say?
00:46:44It says 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. I need to go back immediately.
00:46:57Oh my god. We'll be late again today.
00:47:02Oh my god. I'm so sorry.
00:47:07I'm so sorry.
00:47:08You need to pay for this.
00:47:10Damn it, it was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:13I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:15Are 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.
00:47:22But how did I...
00:47:24Okay. Here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:29Well, are you going to help me up?
00:47:31Are you okay?
00:47:33No, I am not okay. My leg really hurts.
00:47:36I don't think I'm going to be able to walk.
00:47:38You need to take responsibility for this.
00:47:40How can a young girl be so bad?
00:47:42She hits somebody, doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:47:45She looks good, but she's ugly on the inside.
00:47:48No, no, no. The truth is that...
00:47:50Never mind.
00:47:52Okay, uh...
00:47:53Ma'am, do you have your family's contact information?
00:47:56I can help you reach out to them.
00:47:58Family?
00:48:00Who are my family?
00:48:01I don't remember.
00:48:03I don't remember.
00:48:07You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:10Uh...
00:48:11I don't remember anything.
00:48:12What do I do?
00:48:13You don't remember where you live?
00:48:14I don't remember anything.
00:48:16Okay.
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.
00:48:25I'm not going to a hospital or a police station.
00:48:27I don't trust anybody.
00:48:29Oh, no.
00:48:30I'm going to be late.
00:48:31But there's the weekly department meeting today.
00:48:33I can't take leave.
00:48:36Okay, uh...
00:48:37Ma'am, since you're not going anywhere,
00:48:39how about I take you to my company office?
00:48:42And then after work, I'll help you find your family.
00:48:45Fine.
00:48:46Because you need to take responsibility for this.
00:48:49You cannot leave my side.
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:52Okay.
00:48:53What is going on?
00:48:54Ouch!
00:48:55What?
00:48:56My mom's returned home?
00:48:57Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:48:58According to Matriarch Robinson's assistant,
00:49:00Matriarch Robinson received an anonymous text message about you
00:49:03and rushed back into the country.
00:49:04What was the text?
00:49:05It said,
00:49:06Mr. Hawthorne, you've been enchanted by a seductress.
00:49:08She's always had a temper.
00:49:09Okay.
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?
00:49:15I mean, yeah, unless there's some unexpected twist,
00:49:18I should probably be there.
00:49:19All right, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:49:20I'll arrange it right away.
00:49:25Mom, please don't scare off the Wi-Fi I finally got.
00:49:30How did the matter about Matriarch Robinson go?
00:49:33Rest assured, Miss Hart.
00:49:34It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news
00:49:38and returned home immediately.
00:49:40Really?
00:49:41Then Alisa will be out of here soon.
00:49:44Yes.
00:49:46Congratulations in advance, Miss Hart.
00:49:49Let's go.
00:49:50There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:49:52and Lucian will be there personally.
00:49:54We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:49:57Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip, so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:01If, 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.
00:50:11Okay, I just want to know if I can play with this.
00:50:13Everyone?
00:50:14The weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:17Alisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:19Alisa really treats the company as her home, being in anyone she likes.
00:50:24It's seriously so filthy.
00:50:26It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:50:32Alisa, 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?
00:50:41Ms. Hart, this woman might have some trouble with her memory,
00:50:44so I'm only bringing her here temporarily.
00:50:47I was going to help her find her family after work,
00:50:49and if she could just sit here for the time being,
00:50:51I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:50:53You mean you brought this old hag in off the street, and she's also sick?
00:50:59I think you're crazy.
00:51:00Picking up an old hag like this?
00:51:02Reeking of poverty?
00:51:03Stinking up the whole office?
00:51:06Where did you find her?
00:51:07In a sewer?
00:51:08What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill,
00:51:10but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:14Yeah, Ms. Hart, I really think we should call a cleaner later
00:51:16to disinfect everywhere this lady's been.
00:51:18How could all of you be so cruel?
00:51:20Don't you all have families too?
00:51:23What if one of them had lost their memory and needed your help?
00:51:26This girl?
00:51:27She's interesting.
00:51:28I'm not the one who's sick.
00:51:30You're sick!
00:51:33Disgusting.
00:51:34Alyssa, our company has rules and regulations.
00:51:37It's not a place for you to show your kindness.
00:51:40Get this old hag out of here now.
00:51:45Get this old hag out of here now.
00:51:48Ms. Hart, there is nothing in our company policy that discourages helping somebody in need.
00:51:52In fact, it encourages us to do so.
00:51:54Oh, there isn't.
00:51:55Well, now there is.
00:51:59Do you have a problem?
00:52:00Ms. Hart is a senior leader in our company.
00:52:02She can represent our president, and now she just happened to add another company rule.
00:52:07Even if she asks security to drag you out, there's nothing you can do.
00:52:11Understand?
00:52:13How come the employees of the business department are like this?
00:52:17Lucian will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:20Alyssa, you have two minutes.
00:52:22If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you.
00:52:26You can go beg on the street with her.
00:52:28Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:52:33Summer, 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. Hathorn.
00:52:41As a low-level employee, you have contradicted me one too many times.
00:52:45And now you dare go see Mr. Hathorn?
00:52:47You're fired.
00:52:51Two years.
00:52:52Two years away from this company, and I never thought that the business department at the Hathorn Group would decay into the state.
00:53:02Alyssa will not be fired.
00:53:03You will.
00:53:07You will.
00:53:09Matthew, 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.
00:53:16Ms. Hathorn is our president's wife-to-be.
00:53:20Firing 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?
00:53:32I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:53:35You are kind and righteous, so you never use Lucian's identity to gain power.
00:53:39But 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?
00:53:48Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:53:51Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now!
00:53:54You've got guts. I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:13You actually dare to hit me?
00:54:16Ms. Hart?
00:54:17Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate. I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:54:23You 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?
00:54:32Yes, 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.
00:54:54Oh, are you angry?
00:55:00Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight!
00:55:03Security, throw both of them out of Hawthorne Group!
00:55:06With me here, they can't drive you away.
00:55:11I tell you, I am...
00:55:14Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:17Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:20Oh 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.
00:55:50Hawthorne Group is not an impersonal company.
00:55:54Elisa's done well.
00:55:56From today forward, you'll be promoted to Team Leader, and oversee projects as a reward.
00:56:02Mr. Hawthorne, I'm...
00:56:04I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:07I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:10As for you, you can go to HR, and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:17He 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.
00:56:27I 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?
00:56:38Matthew, why have you not apologized to this Madame and Miss Vale yet?
00:56:45I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
00:56:47Please 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.
00:56:57Ms. Hart? Apologize.
00:57:02Sorry. I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:04I was wrong. I'm sorry.
00:57:13And you guys?
00:57:17I'm sorry.
00:57:19Sorry.
00:57:21Have 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.
00:57:35Lucian, why did you call me over? What if Elisa finds out?
00:57:39What 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.
00:57:47Oh, Lucian. You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:57:57That's enough.
00:58:00Fine.
00:58:02Look, um, Elisa is a very good girl.
00:58:06But it seems she doesn't even know that you like her.
00:58:09Nor does anyone else know that she's your wife.
00:58:12Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:16I don't know how to tell her.
00:58:18I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public, pressure will be too much for her.
00:58:23Lucian, when did you become such a coward?
00:58:27Look, 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?
00:58:37Regret what?
00:58:39Nothing.
00:58:42Please, come sit.
00:58:47Elisa...
00:58:49I'm sorry, I was deceptive earlier.
00:58:52I...
00:58:54I'm actually Lucian's mother.
00:58:56What?
00:58:59Please, let me explain.
00:59:01Um, a few days ago I got an anonymous text saying that some woman was trying to seduce Lucian, and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:13Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:15Yes, Mrs. Hawthorne, I understand you're just looking out for your son, but I am concerned that the person who sent that text must have had bad intentions.
00:59:27I have an idea you sent him. Go ahead.
00:59:30Good.
00:59:31And Elisa?
00:59:32I heard that Lucian 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.
00:59:41Lucian, why aren't you eating?
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:57Of course.
01:00:01Elisa, what do you want to ask me?
01:00:02If 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?
01:00:23Why protect me at every turn?
01:00:25Hold on.
01:00:27You think I've liked Summer for ten years?
01:00:29Judging by his reaction, he must have been caught off guard.
01:00:33Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:00:36Seriously, 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.
01:00:49But 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.
01:01:00I was afraid that it would put you in danger.
01:01:03I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:06All these years I've suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:10Fought tooth and nail to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:14And 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.
01:01:30So why now?
01:01:31I was afraid if I told you.
01:01:33You didn't like me.
01:01:34I wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:01:37And so 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?
01:01:45Hey, I don't really like this.
01:01:57Yeah, I'm really sorry I 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?
01:02:09What love letter?
01:02:11I only remember delivering a party invitation to her from my parents.
01:02:16Well, why are all your passwords Summer's birthday?
01:02:19You mean 0903?
01:02:21What does that have to do with Summer? I don't even know her birthday.
01:02:24So then what's 0903 to you?
01:02:27Lisa 0903, September 3rd.
01:02:30It's the day we first met.
01:02:33So it was...
01:02:34It was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:38So it was...
01:02:39It was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:41Lisa...
01:02:43I love you.
01:02:44I know.
01:02:45I tricked you into marrying me.
01:02:48But my feelings for you are absolutely true.
01:02:51So...
01:02:52Can you try to accept me?
01:02:55I know that our marriage started as a contract but it...
01:02:58It feels real to me now.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:04I wanna be with you.
01:03:06I wanna be with you now and I wanna be with you when we're old and...
01:03:08I love you.
01:03:10I love you.
01:03:20You're finally mine.
01:03:24Yours.
01:03:34Hey.
01:03:36From now on, we're true husband and wife.
01:03:39We don't have to keep our relationship secret in front of our colleagues anymore.
01:03:42Okay.
01:03:47Lucian, I...
01:03:49Elise, you...
01:03:51Summer, I'd like you to meet my wife.
01:03:53What?
01:03:55Elisa and I have actually been married for a long time.
01:03:57So you don't have to send those divisive text messages to my mom anymore.
01:04:00We all like Elisa.
01:04:02So no matter how much you try to sow discord between us,
01:04:05it's never gonna work.
01:04:07What text messages I...

01:04:12Now, considering the relationship between our families,
01:04:16I'm gonna ask you to go ahead and submit your resignation from your team.
01:04:19As for everyone else,
01:04:21you all get off an hour early today.
01:04:24And you're invited to dinner with my wife.
