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'm coming.
00:01:23I'm coming.
00:01:23I'm coming.
00:01:25I'll see you soon.
00:01:25We'll see you soon.
00:01:26I'm coming.
00:01:27I'll see you soon.
00:01:28Okay, then we're going to see you soon.
00:01:29Elisa!
00:01:35Hey mom.
00:01:37Please come home as soon as possible!
00:01:39I just received an order from the court since 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.
00:01:59Mom, are you okay?
00:02:05I'm fine honey.
00:02:07I'm so sorry I couldn't save the house.
00:02:11Don't worry.
00:02:13As long as we're together, we'll get through this difficult time.
00:02:19I'm sorry.
00:02:21Is there anything else in there?
00:02:23No.
00:02:25This is it.
00:02:27One second.
00:02:29Okay, I'll be right back.
00:02:31Hello?
00:02:32Elisa, where are you?
00:02:34Don't you remember where we're 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.
00:02:43And, um, if you could please just tell management that-
00:02:46Hello?
00:02:48No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:51Fuck.
00:02:52I just lost my house and now I'm gonna lose my job too.
00:02:56Where am I gonna find a million dollars?
00:03:02Elisa?
00:03:04Why are you crying?
00:03:06Um...
00:03:07Mr. Hawthorne, what are you doing here?
00:03:12Oh, I'm actually here for you.
00:03:13What?
00:03:14I need a marriage partner.
00:03:16Again what?
00:03:17I need you to be my wife.
00:03:20Give it a thought.
00:03:22Mr. Hawthorne, I was really drunk last night and I can't remember how everything happened after, but you really don't-
00:03:32Look, I know some unfortunate things have happened in your family recently.
00:03:38This card has more than enough on it to pay off all your debts and make sure that your house doesn't get auctioned off.
00:03:45If you agree, we can get the marriage certificate right now.
00:03:57Why do you want to help me?
00:03:59I told you.
00:04:00I need a wife.
00:04:01And you're the most suitable person.
00:04:10Okay.
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.
00:04:24You don't have to pay me back more than happy.
00:04:28I'm gonna get back to work then.
00:04:30Uh, Ronan will actually take you back.
00:04:33And I'll give you my home address, so you can move in tonight.
00:04:36Your home address?
00:04:39We're legally married.
00:04:40What'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.
00:04:50And I'll be back on time tonight.
00:04:59Elisa.
00:05:00You're finally mine.
00:05:06Oh my god!
00:05:07I'm so sorry.
00:05:08It was reading and I didn't see you there.
00:05:10No, no worries. It's fine.
00:05:16Can I have your name?
00:05:17I'm Elisa.
00:05:20Yo!
00:05:21Never knew Mr. Hawthorne would have such a silly smile moment.
00:05:24Alright.
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.
00:05:35You really married Mr. Hawthorne?
00:05:36It's just a contract marriage.
00:05:37Shh.
00:05:38I'll explain it to you later.
00:05:39Mrs. Elisa Hawthorne.
00:05:40You are the CEO's wife, so where is my pay rate?
00:05:41I couldn't help.
00:05:42We've known each other since middle school.
00:05:43I don't think he actually likes me.
00:05:44Plus, everyone in the company knows who he actually wants to be with.
00:05:48Mrs. Hawthorne is back!
00:05:49Hello everyone, I'm the CEO's wife.
00:05:50I'm 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.
00:06:00Ms. Hart is back!
00:06:17Hello everyone. Please, help yourself to have some cake.
00:06:22Thank you, Ms. 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.
00:06:31He must want to see me right now. Save a slice for me, honey.
00:06:36When do you think they will make their own relationship public?
00:06:39Probably soon. Last time I accidentally saw Mr. Hawthorne unlock his phone,
00:06:43the code is 0903, Ms. 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 about me.
00:06:59Okay.
00:07:08Okay.
00:07:120903.
00:07:16That's Summer's birthday again.
00:07:18If 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.
00:07:34Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:37Why aren't you coming in?
00:07:39Mr. Hawthorne, I think that we should talk-
00:07:40Call me.
00:07:43What should I do? Am I supposed to sleep with him tonight?
00:08:04I know that we did that before, but... I was drunk.
00:08:08If I turn him down, will he get angry? But... if I don't...
00:08:17Melissa? You okay?
00:08:19I'm fine. Thank you for asking.
00:08:21Melissa, I'm... I'm not ready.
00:08:36I was... just gonna turn off the light. What'd you think I was gonna do?
00:08:42Oh, yeah. No. Don'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. I want to be your everything.
00:08:57Matthew! Why did the negotiations with the Sunlight Group fail?
00:09:01It's Elisa's fault. If 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?
00:09:20It is absolutely true.
00:09:22Not only did she cause our failure, but she dared to seduce Mr. Hawthorne when you were away.
00:09:29Matthew, 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?
00:09:47Right.
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.
00:10:06It is because of you that we lost the project with Sunlight Group. You'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.
00:10:18Did 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? We needed you last minute and you weren't there.
00:10:34Now that the project has failed, if you're not to blame, who else would it be?
00:10:38I was absent that day, yes, but I prepared the initial budget ahead of time, so there is no way that my absence would have affected the negotiations.
00:10:49Wouldn't have affected the negotiations?
00:10:51Elisa, take a closer look. What did you write in the project budget?
00:10:59No. No, no, no, this isn't right. I wrote 50 million. How did it become 5 million?
00:11:09For a professional budget analyst, you've made such a sloppy mistake.
00:11:15Elisa, do you have anything else to say for yourself?
00:11:18Looks like Elisa is in trouble.
00:11:21Elisa always strikes me as a professional. How could she make such an error?
00:11:25Keep 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.
00:11:36Evidence? Then why don't you show it to everyone?
00:11:42I have the dated source files on my computer that can show that I have the right numbers.
00:11:46No. No, they were right here. How could they be gone?
00:11:50Elisa, are you joking? Where's your so-called evidence?
00:11:55Elisa? Are 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.
00:12:05What are you saying? I've seen the budget Elisa made. We all checked it as a team.
00:12:13Obviously, someone tampered with it.
00:12:15Are you saying that we are framing her?
00:12:17At the very least, she deserves a good reason to be fired.
00:12:21Fine. If anyone else can vouch for Elisa, I can give her a second chance. Anyone?
00:12:30Weren't you there when we checked that time?
00:12:32I don't remember.
00:12:33Since there's no one, Elisa, would you like to walk yourself out? Or would you like me to have someone escort you out?
00:12:48This better be something important.
00:12:50Mr. Hawthorne, the business department is in uproar.
00:12:53So? Can't Summer handle it?
00:12:55She started it. Her and Mr. Clark are trying to fire Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:12:59Let's go.
00:13:03Amelia, it's okay.
00:13:05They 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, 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.
00:13:45Since you refused to leave, security? Drag her out.
00:13:50Alisa, you dare to seduce the man I like when I'm not around?
00:14:01You'll never set foot in Hawthorne Group ever again.
00:14:07Summer?
00:14:09What are you doing?
00:14:10Why is he here? Could it be he's here to support Summer?
00:14:18Lucian, what brings you here?
00:14:20Let her go.
00:14:22What's going on with these two? Am 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, Alisa made a big mistake at work, so I fired her. But she refused to leave, disrupting everyone at work. So Matthew called security to escort her out.
00:14:41Fired for what?
00:14:43Here's the thing, Mr. Hawthorne. The negotiations with the Sun Lake Group failed due to Alisa's mistake. We 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. Is that within the lines of regulation?
00:14:58Alisa, how dare you question company regulations in front of Mr. Hawthorne? Lucian, see? She won't admit her mistakes and she even questions you in public.
00:15:09Oh God, now I'm really fired her.
00:15:13Alisa actually talked back to Mr. Hawthorne. She has to be fired now.
00:15:21I'm actually pitying her, no matter what.
00:15:24Pitying her? You're an employee too. Mind your own business.
00:15:29Alisa, you sure are bald, aren't you?
00:15:32Alisa, don't you know what Mr. Hawthorne means? Hurry up and leave.
00:15:37Of course Lucian is on Summer's side. I'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?
00:15:59Why would I be angry?
00:16:01The company needs to find out who's responsible for Sunrise Group project first.
00:16:04Ronan, take charge of that.
00:16:06Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:16:08So what you're saying is I'm not fired.
00:16:10At least for now.
00:16:12Lucian, Alisa not only made mistakes on this project, but she was absent from work without permission.
00:16:18And she defied you in public.
00:16:20Summer, 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, but you insisted that the results were clear.
00:16:37Apologize to Mr. Hawthorne right now!
00:16:39Yes, Ms. Hart.
00:16:41Is Lucian helping me?
00:16:43But as a CEO, he needs to do things fairly in front of his employees.
00:16:47This proves nothing.
00:16:49Alisa, may I have a few words with you?
00:16:50Alisa, you are damn lucky this time.
00:16:58But you won't be for the next time.
00:17:10Mr. 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?
00:17:19Next time something like that happens, come see me.
00:17:22And let me handle it.
00:17:24You're so busy.
00:17:26I 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.
00:17:36Don't fool around.
00:17:37Fool around?
00:17:39Well, that's 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.
00:18:06Elisa.
00:18:07Remember my words.
00:18:09Stay away from that girl.
00:18:10Elisa.
00:18:11When you were in Mr. Hawthorne's office.
00:18:13Amelia!
00:18:14I can't really understand the data over here.
00:18:15Can you help me, please?
00:18:16Miss Hart?
00:18:17Miss Hart?
00:18:18May I help you?
00:18:19You are still under investigation.
00:18:20Now isn't the current time for you to be working on company projects.
00:18:23But I was just looking over the project budget for the next thing.
00:18:26Your current mission is to go downstairs and fetch me a cup of coffee.
00:18:27Can't you see the trash is full?
00:18:28Clean it.
00:18:29Miss Hart.
00:18:30I'm an analyst.
00:18:31I'm not an intern.
00:18:32What?
00:18:33Are you defying your superior?
00:18:34Someone is really ignorant.
00:18:35She hasn't been clarified yet.
00:18:36Now she's defying her superior.
00:18:37Does she think she owns the property?
00:18:38No.
00:18:39No.
00:18:40No.
00:18:41No.
00:18:42No.
00:18:43No.
00:18:44No.
00:18:45No.
00:18:46No.
00:18:47No.
00:18:48No.
00:18:49No.
00:18:50No.
00:18:51No.
00:18:52No.
00:18:53No.
00:18:54No.
00:18:55No.
00:18:56No.
00:18:57No.
00:18:58No.
00:18:59No.
00:19:00No.
00:19:01No.
00:19:02No.
00:19:03No.
00:19:04No.
00:19:05No.
00:19:06No.
00:19:07No.
00:19:08No.
00:19:09No.
00:19:10No.
00:19:11No.
00:19:12No.
00:19:13No.
00:19:14No.
00:19:15No.
00:19:16No.
00:19:17No.
00:19:18No.
00:19:19No.
00:19:20No.
00:19:21No.
00:19:22No.
00:19:23No.
00:19:24No.
00:19:25No.
00:19:26No.
00:19:27No.
00:19:28No.
00:19:29Fine. I'll do it.
00:19:39Better to bend than break, huh?
00:19:42It doesn't matter. Let's see how long you can keep tolerating.
00:19:48I'm sorry. Your coffee.
00:19:50Hand it to me.
00:19:59Oh my god, this coffee's 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.
00:20:12Can't you see there's coffee on the floor? Clean it up. Now.
00:20:21Who 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? You could always quit.
00:20:47Well, 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.
00:21:01Hey, is the business department next to the meeting room?
00:21:04Yes, Mr. Hawthorne.
00:21:06Let's pay you to visit first.
00:21:07He was just departing Mrs. Hawthorne and he's already so eager to see her.
00:21:11He's completely in law for that.
00:21:13Sorry.
00:21:14Miss Hart, would you please lift your foot?
00:21:18Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:23I didn't do it off 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!
00:21:36Do you really think I wouldn't know because I was away?
00:21:39You don't want to seduce Lucian, then you must be prepared for my revenge.
00:21:44Summer, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:48Summer, what the hell are you doing?
00:21:50Lucian!
00:21:51Elisa, are you alright?
00:21:52The police is still on their investigation, right?
00:21:54She's not suitable for working on company projects, so I had her doing simpler tasks like fetching me coffee.
00:22:00But she spilled the coffee on purpose.
00:22:02That isn't true.
00:22:03It doesn't matter anyway, I don't blame her for it.
00:22:05But she insisted on wiping it up.
00:22:07I stepped on her by accident.
00:22:09I was about to apologize to her.
00:22:12Is that so?
00:22:13Elisa, 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?
00:22:20Yes, it's the truth.
00:22:23Come with me to my office.
00:22:26Come!
00:22:29Why on earth did Lucian call Elisa to his office again?
00:22:33I must find out.
00:22:40Have a seat.
00:22:43Your hands hurt.
00:22:44You need an advantage.
00:22:45It's, it's really fine.
00:22:47I can just go home and-
00:22:48No, no, I got it all right here.
00:22:49Have a seat.
00:22:55Alright, let's see.
00:22:57You know, Summer is competent.
00:22:59But she can be bossy and overbearing.
00:23:02I can transfer you to another department.
00:23:04If you can't bear her.
00:23:06Maybe mine.
00:23:07So we can spend more time together.
00:23:09No.
00:23:10No, I'm fine in the business department.
00:23:12Elisa, you're my wife.
00:23:14I 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.
00:23:21Okay.
00:23:22Last step.
00:23:25Okay.
00:23:26Just don't let this hand touch water for a little bit.
00:23:28Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.
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.
00:23:36I thought I shouldn't.
00:23:37Yeah, why shouldn't you?
00:23:38Lucian, why did you marry me?
00:23:41And 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.
00:23:49Hasn't he always had a thing for summer?
00:23:52Or could it be that everyone has been wrong all along?
00:24:02Bloody Elisa.
00:24:03You 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.
00:24:24Alright.
00:24:25It'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?
00:24:38Why hasn't this happened yet?
00:24:40Um...
00:24:43Well...
00:24:45I borrowed some money from a friend to help pay off the debts.
00:24:48What friend could afford to lend you so much money at once?
00:24:54Since we went bankrupt, all our old friends have disappeared.
00:24:59Well...
00:25:00Mom...
00:25:02You don't have to worry about it.
00:25:03It's okay.
00:25:04Elisa...
00:25:09Hey!
00:25:10Elisa, what took you so long?
00:25:11What's up?
00:25:12There's a school reunion party this weekend.
00:25:14They notified us in the group, but...
00:25:16I figured you haven't read it yet since you didn't respond, so I'm just giving you a heads up.
00:25:21What? It's been ages.
00:25:22Why is there a high school reunion party out of nowhere?
00:25:25Here's the monthly report from the business department.
00:25:27Just leave it over there.
00:25:28How about we grab a drink tonight? I know a good place.
00:25:40I actually have plans tonight.
00:25:41If you don't have anything else, you can leave.
00:25:44Lucian, it's been so long...
00:25:46Summer, I said I'm busy.
00:25:48Please leave.
00:25:49Hold on.
00:25:50Will you be at the high school reunion?
00:25:52Summer, how many ways do I have to say this?
00:25:53I'm busy.
00:25:54Leave.
00:25:55Lucian, you have to be so gentle with me.
00:25:56But ever since Elisa came, you'll become colder and colder.
00:25:59Elisa, I won't let you off easily.
00:26:01I wonder if Lucian received the invitation to the reunion.
00:26:05Is he going?
00:26:06Something on your mind?
00:26:07It's not a big deal, but there's a high school reunion party later.
00:26:16Are you going?
00:26:17Are you going?
00:26:18I don't know.
00:26:19Emilia made a good point that we don't really see eachother that often.
00:26:21Thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:22I thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:23I don't want to cling to my heart like that.
00:26:24I'll do of course, I'll do this.
00:26:25Love you.
00:26:26Why?
00:26:27I'll do this for Christmas.
00:26:28All this.
00:26:29Okay, do you.
00:26:30What if you didn't get me?
00:26:31I think you have to have to be more.
00:26:32Can I leave?
00:26:33don't really see each other that often. Thought it'd be nice to get together.
00:26:36Um, you know what? I actually have a meeting. I 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 take this.
00:26:52Oh, Shane, that's way too expensive. I'm just gonna take the subway.
00:26:58Elisa, I'm capable of offering you a better life. Why would you take the subway? Consider this a gift.
00:27:05Lucian is acting like he actually likes me. What 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. Legally speaking, what's mine is yours.
00:27:23Well, thank you, then.
00:27:28This is a customized version. Probably cost millions. Jesus, Elisa.
00:27:34If it weren't for you, I'd never get to be in such a luxurious car.
00:27:37Seems like Mr. Hawthorne really is madly in love with you.
00:27:41You know, I'm still at the point where I'm wondering if he even likes me.
00:27:44He does treat me well, though. You know all of his passwords are still Summer's birthday.
00:27:49I don't know. I'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. I don't think he's into her.
00:28:02No, that's just because he's trying to keep the down low at work.
00:28:05Well, even if he were trying to keep it that way...
00:28:09Do you know how that saying goes?
00:28:11We can try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes can speak.
00:28:16The way he looks at Summer, it doesn't feel right. Do 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. You're so mean. I can't.
00:28:26Well, we're late, so we have to go.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:36Hello, everyone. Long time no see.
00:28:39I'm so sorry we're late.
00:28:40So it's Elisa. What 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.
00:29:18Her? She's probably a low-level employee.
00:29:20How well could she be doing?
00:29:22What do you mean by that?
00:29:24Elisa and I were just...
00:29:28Oh, Summer's here.
00:29:29Although it's been years since we graduated, she's only been more gorgeous.
00:29:33Summer is both the daughter of the noble family and Mr. Hoffman's childhood friend.
00:29:39I bet Summer is more than jealous now.
00:29:42Summer, come on, sit next to me.
00:29:44I've reserved the main seat for you.
00:29:46Sorry 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.
00:30:03I'm actually tired of driving it I haven't used in.
00:30:05A sports car? That's something I can never afford.
00:30:10It's not that much. It's only a few hundred thousand.
00:30:14Wow, Summer surely is rich. Such an expensive car but it's like nothing to her.
00:30:21Naturally, don't you know who Summer is? Such a lottery car and nothing but a toy to her.
00:30:26She can have as many as she wants.
00:30:29A bunch of snot.
00:30:31Elisa, 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?
00:30:45Elisa, the subway will soon stop running. Do you want me to give you a ride?
00:30:49Oh 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.
00:31:04What nonsense are you talking about? Elisa didn't take the subway and it wouldn't matter if she did.
00:31:09She drove here in a fancy new limited edition convertible. Something more expensive than you can imagine.
00:31:17Oh my god, what a big mouth.
00:31:21What the hell? It really is a convertible.
00:31:24Impossible. She can never afford that.
00:31:27Elisa, did you rent a car just to show off at the reunion?
00:31:31It's not rented.
00:31:33Not rented? Who are you trying to fool? You can't afford even the cheapest one of such cars even if you're stuck yourself.
00:31:40Summer, 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. With her salary, she could probably never afford it. Even if she worked herself to death.
00:31:59Elisa, we're all classmates here. You don't have to pretend to be rich. It probably costs half of your salary to rent that car. It's best not to be so vain.
00:32:09What's the point of it? It's like the Cinderella. It will revert to its true form after midnight. Elisa, don't you find yourself ridiculous?
00:32:15A poor? Can they have a disguise to be rich?
00:32:19It 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 any time.
00:32:29All right. Oh, hey, by the way, my wife is having a class reunion party. Invite some 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.
00:32:43Elisa, what's the point of lying? First you rent a car to show up at the reunion, and now you're making up a story about a wealthy husband? Are you living in a novel?
00:32:57Summer, aren't you colleagues with Elisa? You should know if she's married or not, right?
00:33:03It's not my business. Even though I'm her superior, I try not to pry. Although I don't think so.
00:33:11If she really had a rich husband, why would she work for so little salary?
00:33:17So, Elisa is lying again? She is so shameless.
00:33:23Amelia, I think you should stay with Elisa. She got a bad influence on you.
00:33:32And what do you know? Elisa's husband.
00:33:35Okay, okay, you guys keep partying. Uh, Amelia? Let's go.
00:33:44Excuse me, these are the wines set by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:33:47Oh, 1982 Lafitte? But we didn't order these wines.
00:33:56I'll send you something though, 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 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?
00:34:16This wine is for Mr. Hawthorne too.
00:34:18Summer and Mr. Hawthorne have been a perfect match in school.
00:34:22And now they are still so affectionate, 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 Elisa, you see, you can never shake my bond with Lucien.
00:34:39Alright everyone, since Lucien 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 Elisa drink it, she wouldn't know how good the Lafitte is.
00:34:58That's true. Compared 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 Mrs. Hawthorne?
00:35:16Mrs. Hawthorne? It's Summer.
00:35:20Are you daydreaming, Elisa?
00:35:22Do you think you're some Cinderella who married a president?
00:35:25Elisa, are you jealous of me?
00:35:28Not only jealous of my family background and my job.
00:35:31Now 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.
00:35:44Oh 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 ending, Elisa 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 the poor thinks.
00:36:06Hey waiter, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wines to?
00:36:12Yeah, tell us, who does Mr. Hawthorne give this wine to?
00:36:16So that someone can start daydreaming.
00:36:19These wines were given to Mrs. Elisvale by Mr. Hawthorne.
00:36:27What? This wine is from Lucien to Elisa?
00:36:30There must have been a mistake. Check it again.
00:36:33How could Mr. Hawthorne possibly send wine to Elisa?
00:36:36Yes, this is indeed the wine sent from Mr. Lucien to Ms. Vale.
00:36:41How 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.
00:36:53Is 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?
00:37:08Elisa, you really are desperate for attention, aren't you?
00:37:12After being exposed about the car keys, you've resorted to hiring actors to put on a show for us.
00:37:19Oh my god. Lavinia, you really are imaginative. You should become a screenwriter.
00:37:23You 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?
00:37:34Lavinia, 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. Mr. Hawthorne and Elisa are from completely different worlds.
00:37:52How could he possibly send her wine?
00:37:54Go home and page your actors.
00:37:57Elisa, 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,
00:38:07having 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.
00:38:17What are you trying to do?
00:38:19What are we trying to do?
00:38:21She 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, but poor people make even more trouble.
00:38:38I couldn't care less what you think of me, but I didn't hire actors for this.
00:38:43We are all regular employees of the hotel. We cannot be hired as private actors.
00:38:48You must have misunderstood.
00:38:57Misunderstood?
00:38:58Elisa, 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?
00:39:18This cheap wine is only good for making noise when he 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 Miss Vale a VVVIP customer from now on.
00:39:38Hello?
00:39:39No good, Mr. Carlos. Miss 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.
00:40:04You'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?
00:40:12Hi, my assistant.
00:40:13Well, we don't know who this woman is and I don't know how she got in here.
00:40:18And I want her out of here.
00:40:20Well, this is Summer Hart, fiance of the president of Hawthorne's group.
00:40:26And having her here, we don't want to have any trouble.
00:40:29That is silly.
00:40:32What are you doing?
00:40:35What is going on here?
00:40:38Who gave you permission to expel my esteemed guest?
00:40:44Did you just call Elisa an esteemed guest?
00:40:48Yes, I did.
00:40:50In fact, Miss Vale is one of our VIP customers.
00:40:55That can't be possible. Her family went bankrupt years ago.
00:41:01She probably can't even afford to pay her rent.
00:41:03Let me correct myself.
00:41:05Not only is Miss Vale our esteemed guest, not only is she our VVVIP customer,
00:41:13but 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?
00:41:22Mr. 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?
00:41:36But Summer, how could Mr. Hawthorne be sending wine to Elisa?
00:41:41How am I supposed to know what Lucian is thinking?
00:41:44You 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.
00:42:02Maybe 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 was 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...
00:42:31Legally, 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?
00:42:39Come on, let's go drink and celebrate.
00:42:42You actually want a drink right now?
00:42:43Yes.
00:42:44No.
00:42:45Yes!
00:42:46No!
00:42:47Come on!
00:42:48I ain't okay, just my heart!
00:42:49Emilia, be honest with me, okay?
00:42:57What is this?
00:42:58I don't...
00:42:59I don't understand why Lucian wanted to marry me.
00:43:02I don't know, it's just...
00:43:04I'm starting to feel like maybe he...
00:43:06Like...
00:43:08Is he actually someone...
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!
00:43:16Oh!
00:43:17Are you gossiping about me behind my back while you're drunk?
00:43:23Are you real?
00:43:25Or am I dreaming?
00:43:26Well, no, you're not dreaming. I'm actually here to take you home.
00:43:29They gossip?
00:43:31No.
00:43:32I don't want to go home.
00:43:33I want to drink more.
00:43:35Elisa, you've had too much.
00:43:37You're going to have a headache tomorrow.
00:43:39Who knew Mr. Hawthorne was so gentle and thoughtful?
00:43:42Come on.
00:43:43I can't walk, so I could just live here.
00:43:48Okay, I will carry you back then.
00:43:52Come on.
00:43:54All right, ready?
00:43:55Three, two, one.
00:43:57Okay, here we go.
00:43:58Mr. Hawthorne's computer, right?
00:43:59Here I am.
00:44:00Working overtime in the middle of the...
00:44:01Driving at this speed.
00:44:02Lushin, why did you marry me?
00:44:03Lushin, why did you marry me?
00:44:05Lushin, why did you marry me?
00:44:06Lushin, I've been in love with you for ten years, ever since I first saw you.
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, and my father was also...
00:44:34Lucian, let your father rest in peace.
00:44:41You're all I've got now.
00:44:43Anyway, I didn't dare to show you even a sliver of my feelings for you.
00:44:52But the hatred between our parents made me hide my feelings for you.
00:44:55Could you give me a chance?
00:44:59Yeah.
00:45:01Well, I'll tell you this another time.
00:45:03Elisa always goes against me, making me embarrassed. She's the worst!
00:45:13I have an idea that doesn't require us to get involved and can make Elisa leave Mr. Hawthorne.
00:45:19Oh? What is it?
00:45:23What is it?
00:45:24Everyone knows that Mr. Hawthorne is devoted to his mother.
00:45:27If 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.
00:45:50All we need to do is send an anonymous text message to Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:45:54Then 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.
00:46:09Because I didn't have a reason.
00:46:12Do it for me.
00:46:13When Elisa is dealt with, you will be rewarded.
00:46:20It'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.
00:46:30Of course not.
00:46:31Mr. Hawthorne, you received an anonymous message on your phone.
00:46:43What does it say?
00:46:45It says there's a fix in our own Mr. Hawthorne.
00:46:48She turned him so much that he's been ignoring his Hawthorne group affairs.
00:46:51Book me a flight.
00:46:52I need to go back immediately.
00:46:53Oh my god.
00:46:54We'll be late again today.
00:46:55Oh my god.
00:46:56I'm so sorry.
00:46:57I'm so sorry.
00:46:58You need to pay for this.
00:46:59Oh.
00:47:00Oh.
00:47:01Damn it.
00:47:02It was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:03I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:04Are you trying to leave me?
00:47:05Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation.
00:47:07Having no respect for the elderly.
00:47:08But how did I...
00:47:09How did I...
00:47:10Okay.
00:47:11Here, can I help you get up first?
00:47:12Yeah.
00:47:13Well, are you going to help me up?
00:47:14Are you okay?
00:47:15No, I am not okay.
00:47:16My leg really hurts.
00:47:17My leg really hurts.
00:47:18I'm sorry.
00:47:19I'm sorry.
00:47:20I'm sorry.
00:47:21You need to pay for this.
00:47:22Oh.
00:47:23Oh.
00:47:24Damn it.
00:47:25It was you that bumped into me and it was just a light touch.
00:47:27I have no idea how you must have fallen like that.
00:47:28Are you trying to leave me?
00:47:29Because I don't know what's the matter with your generation.
00:47:30Well, are you going to help me up?
00:47:34Are you okay?
00:47:35No, 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.
00:47:41How can a young girl be so bad?
00:47:43She hits somebody, doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:47:46She looks good, but she's on the inside.
00:47:49No, no, no.
00:47:50The truth is that...
00:47:51Never 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?
00:47:59Who are my family?
00:48:02I don't remember.
00:48:04You don't remember who your family is?
00:48:09Uh...
00:48:10I 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?
00:48:23No, no, no, no, no.
00:48:25I'm not going to a hospital or a police station.
00:48:28I don't trust anybody.
00:48:30Oh, no.
00:48:31I'm going to be late.
00:48:32But there's the weekly department meeting today.
00:48:34I can't take leave.
00:48:37Okay, uh...
00:48:38Ma'am, since you're not going anywhere,
00:48:40how about I take you to my company office?
00:48:43And then after work, I'll help you find your family.
00:48:46Fine.
00:48:47Because you need to take responsibility for this.
00:48:49You cannot leave my side.
00:48:51Okay.
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 seductress.
00:49:08She'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.
00:49:17Unless there's some unexpected twist.
00:49:19She'll probably be there.
00:49:20Alright, 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, Miss Hart.
00:49:35It's said that Matriarch Robinson was furious upon hearing the news
00:49:38and returned home immediately.
00:49:41Really?
00:49:42Then Alisa will be out of here soon.
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46Congratulations in advance, Miss Hart.
00:49:49Let's go.
00:49:50There's a weekly meeting of the business department
00:49:52and Lucian will be there personally.
00:49:54We can't afford to make a mistake.
00:49:57Um, Amelia's gone on a work trip,
00:49:59so you can sit in her spot while she's gone.
00:50:05If, if you get bored, you can just lay on my phone.
00:50:09And 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 one.
00:50:13Everyone!
00:50:15The weekly meeting is about to begin.
00:50:17Elisa, why did you bring a cleaner to work?
00:50:20Elisa really treats the company as her home, being anyone she likes.
00:50:25Seriously, so filthy. It's disgusting just looking at them.
00:50:28Elisa, our entire department is filled up with work, and you?
00:50:38If we have to delay our work, are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:50:42Miss 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,
00:50:51I promise that she won't disturb anybody.
00:50:54You mean you brought this old hag in off the street, and she's also sick?
00:50:59I think you're crazy. Picking up an old hag like this, reeking of poverty, stinking up the whole office?
00:51:06Where did you find her? In a sewer?
00:51:09What if this old hag isn't just mentally ill, but also could infect us all with some disease?
00:51:14Yeah, Miss 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.
00:51:35Elisa, our company has rules and regulations. It'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.
00:51:49Miss 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? Miss 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 aren't like this?
00:52:18Lucian will be here soon from the business department.
00:52:21Elisa, you have two minutes!
00:52:23If you don't get this old hag out of here, I will fire you.
00:52:27You can go beg on the street with her.
00:52:29Maybe then you'll make more money than you do now.
00:52:31My god, Summer, you are really pushing it.
00:52:35Tell me, what else can you do besides flaunt your authority?
00:52:38I'm reporting you to Mr. Hawthorne.
00:52:41As a low-level employee, you have contradicted me one too many times.
00:52:45And now, you dare go see Mr. Hawthorne?
00:52:48You'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.
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.
00:53:17Ms. Hart is our president's wife-to-be. Firing her? Too ridiculous.
00:53:23Besides memory loss, is she also crazy?
00:53:26Why are they saying president's wife?
00:53:30Isn't it you?
00:53:31Are all of you quite finished? I can't believe how shallow you are.
00:53:35You are kind and righteous, so you never use Lucian's identity to gain power.
00:53:40But you?
00:53:41Okay, ma'am, it's okay. I'm going to help you find your family. Let's go.
00:53:45Why do we need to leave? Why don't they leave first?
00:53:47Fine, since you're determined to cling to us.
00:53:50Matthew, get this old hag out of here right now!
00:54:02You've got guts. I'll see who dares to kick me out of here today.
00:54:06You actually dare to hit me? Miss Hart?
00:54:18Elisa, this woman attacked my subordinate. I could have her sent to a mental hospital.
00:54:23You don't have the authority.
00:54:24Of course I do. She hit my subordinate. I can reasonably deduce she has some mental issues.
00:54:29How many times do I have to tell you? Yes, this woman is clearly sick, but naturally I'm going to find her family to let them handle it.
00:54:37If you and Matthew hadn't instigated this, none of this would have happened.
00:54:41This woman's actions can only be described as self-defense.
00:54:43Yeah, I think you're the one who's crazy. You don't respect the elderly. You're not qualified to be a leader.
00:54:49I don't know why your company's higher-ups even chose you.
00:54:52Oh, are you angry?
00:55:01Matthew, make these two disappear from my sight!
00:55:03Security, throw both of them out of Hawthorne Group!
00:55:09With me here, they can't drive you away.
00:55:12I tell you, I am...
00:55:14Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:18Summer, what are you doing here?
00:55:19Oh my god, why does Lucian come to the business department every day?
00:55:25Fine. I guess we'll have another showdown.
00:55:28Explain.
00:55:29Well, it's like this. Elisa brought this woman in off the street, who smells terrible, and insisted on having her in the office, which was disrupting everyone's work, so I'm only thinking of the company.
00:55:39Yes, Mr. Hawthorne. What if she has some contagious disease and infects everyone?
00:55:44I take full responsibility for this incident. If the company wishes, I can hand in my resignation.
00:55:51Hawthorne Group is not an impersonal company. Elisa's done well.
00:55:56From today forward, you'll be promoted to team leader, and oversee projects as a reward.
00:56:02Mr. Hawthorne, I'm... I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position.
00:56:07I believe everyone here knows your abilities well.
00:56:11As for you, you can go to HR, and they'll handle your resignation.
00:56:17He is the backbone of the business department. If you fire him, there'll be no elites left.
00:56:22Summer, you've managed the business department into a mess. You're responsible for that.
00:56:27I 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.
00:56:49Why are you apologizing first? This one almost just put me into a mental hospital.
00:56:52You old hag. How dare you ask me to apologize.
00:56:57Miss Hart? Apologize.
00:57:02Sorry. I'm sorry I can't hear you.
00:57:10I was wrong. I'm sorry.
00:57:13And you guys?
00:57:17I'm sorry.
00:57:19Sorry.
00:57:20Have I been misunderstanding him all this time? Could it be?
00:57:26Well, that's the end of that matter. I'll take care of this lady and help her find her family.
00:57:36Listen, 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.
00:57:45Haven't you tested her enough today? She's great. You saw that.
00:57:48Oh, Lucien. You're quite loyal, aren't you?
00:57:57That's enough.
00:58:00Fine.
00:58:02Look, um, Elisa is a very good girl, but it seems she doesn't even know that you like her.
00:58:09Nor does anyone else know that she's your wife. Why are you keeping this marriage so secretive?
00:58:17I don't know how to tell her. I'm afraid that if we make our relationship public, pressure will be too much for her.
00:58:24Lucien, when did you become such a coward? Look, if you like her, just confess boldly.
00:58:30You don't want to wait till Elisa falls for some other guy before you feel regret, do you?
00:58:38Regret what?
00:58:42Nothing. Please, come sit.
00:58:48Elisa...
00:58:50I'm sorry. I was deceptive earlier.
00:58:53I...
00:58:55I'm actually Lucien's mother.
00:58:57What?
00:59:00Please, let me explain.
00:59:03Um, a few days ago I got an anonymous text saying that some woman was trying to seduce Lucien, and I got afraid that he might get tricked.
00:59:13Anyway, Elisa, can you please forgive me?
00:59:15Please forgive me.
00:59:20Yes, Mrs. Hawthorne, I understand. You're just looking out for your son.
00:59:24But I am concerned that the person who sent that text must have had bad intentions.
00:59:28I have an idea you sent him. Go ahead.
00:59:30Good.
00:59:32And Elisa?
00:59:33I heard that Lucien plans on taking you to a very fancy dinner tonight.
00:59:37Okay.
00:59:39There's actually something I want to talk to you about.
00:59:41Lucien, why aren't you eating?
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:57Of course.
00:59:58Well, Elisa, what do you want to ask me?
01:00:03If you want a divorce, it's not going to happen.
01:00:06Why would you think I want a divorce?
01:00:13Okay.
01:00:15I've been meaning to ask you.
01:00:17You've liked Summer for ten years.
01:00:20I mean, why would you marry me? Why protect me at every turn?
01:00:26Hold on.
01:00:28You think I've liked Summer for ten years?
01:00:30Judging by his reaction, he must have been caught off guard.
01:00:34Elisa, you're being too presumptuous.
01:00:36Seriously, 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.
01:00:50But 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.
01:01:03I'm really sorry, Elisa.
01:01:07All these years I've suppressed my feelings for you.
01:01:11Fought tooth and nail to be the head of the Hawthorne family.
01:01:16And now it's taken me a decade to fully stand by you like this.
01:01:22So why now?
01:01:25And 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, you wouldn't even be colleagues anymore.
01:01:37So what's wrong?
01:01:39So when you sat next to me all those years ago, it wasn't because you didn't like your food?
01:01:43Hey, I don't really like this.
01:01:49Yeah, I'm really sorry I couldn't show you my feelings in the proper way.
01:02:03But then why did you write some of that love letter back then?
01:02:08What 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.
01:02:25So then what's 0903 to you?
01:02:27Elisa 0903. September 3rd. It's the day we first met.
01:02:31So it was, it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:38So it was, it was all just a misunderstanding?
01:02:41Elisa, I love you.
01:02:44I 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?
01:02:55I know that our marriage started as a contract, but it feels real to me now.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:04I want to be with you.
01:03:06I want to be with you now and I want to be with you when we're old and...
01:03:10I love you.
01:03:20You're finally mine.
01:03:24Yours.
01:03:31Hey.
01:03:35From 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?
01:03:54Elise and I have actually been married for a long time, so you don't have to send those divisive text messages to my mom anymore.
01:04:00We all like Elise.
01:04:02So no matter how much you try to sow discord between us, it's never going to work.
01:04:07What text messages? I...
01:04:08I have the evidence, Summer.
01:04:12Now, considering the relationship between our families, I'm going to ask you to go ahead and submit your resignation from your team.
