00:00:00Oh, yes, Preston.
00:00:07Oh, Preston.
00:00:11Preston.
00:00:13Preston.
00:00:16Sorry, what were you saying, Father?
00:00:18I said, are you planning to attend our little celebration next week?
00:00:22Yes, you must come.
00:00:24Everyone will expect you to be there.
00:00:26I'm busy next week.
00:00:28But...
00:00:28Next week is the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:00:33I'm sure Father has forgotten.
00:00:35After all, it was one year ago.
00:00:37Don't speak that way in front of your stepmother.
00:00:40It's all right, darling.
00:00:43I'll get it.
00:00:52You.
00:00:55Oh, Emily, you're finally here.
00:00:58Preston, this is Emily, your new stepsister.
00:01:04Preston.
00:01:07You're late.
00:01:08Okay, I know, I know.
00:01:09I'm sorry.
00:01:09I will not keep covering for you.
00:01:11You said that the last time.
00:01:14Besides, I finished my photography portfolio.
00:01:17Oh, finally.
00:01:18I thought you'd never finish.
00:01:19I wanted it to be perfect.
00:01:21Perfect doesn't pay the bills.
00:01:23But it will.
00:01:24Okay.
00:01:24Until then, take this tray.
00:01:27These little finger foods aren't going to serve themselves.
00:01:32Preston.
00:01:33Nice to meet you.
00:01:34Who is he?
00:01:37He looks like a total tool.
00:01:39Shh.
00:01:39I wouldn't say that too loudly.
00:01:41This is his house.
00:01:42It's very nice.
00:01:43In his party.
00:01:44Hey, about time you made an appearance.
00:01:51Sorry, I was on a business call.
00:01:52Well, love to see all of your hard work finally paying off, but it's time to take this all in, my friend.
00:01:58After Flatter goes public, this is going to be our lives every single night.
00:02:01Oh, look who just arrived.
00:02:06You can't escape me tonight, Preston.
00:02:10I take it you invited her?
00:02:12Just protecting my investment.
00:02:14Don't remind me.
00:02:15Hey, you're the youngest CEO and owner to take a company public.
00:02:19That makes an already skeptical market even more nervous.
00:02:22It's important to project stability.
00:02:26I know.
00:02:27Yeah, which means that until the IPO, you and Cassie are the perfect, happy couple.
00:02:34Then what?
00:02:36After.
00:02:37It doesn't matter what or who you do.
00:02:39After, you, and by the transit of property, I, will be very, very rich.
00:02:47Thanks.
00:02:53Oh, hell no.
00:02:57Well, did you hear what I said?
00:02:59We're going to be rich, filthy rich.
00:03:02I mean, this could be your chance to, uh, get in on the ground floor, if you know what I mean.
00:03:06Shut up.
00:03:10Dylan?
00:03:11I see you're still preying on common carry-in.
00:03:14Guilty, Cassie.
00:03:16Didn't know you were coming tonight.
00:03:18I'm full of surprises.
00:03:21You can go now.
00:03:23Go serve your cheese elsewhere.
00:03:25Shoot.
00:03:25Shoot.
00:03:27I knew you wanted to get me alone.
00:03:32No.
00:03:32Just to remind you that we are not a couple.
00:03:35But, Preston...
00:03:36Nope.
00:03:38We're only keeping the charade up until the IPO goes through.
00:03:41So remember, you're not my girlfriend.
00:03:48Where are you going?
00:03:51To my room.
00:03:52I didn't even want to host this party.
00:04:02Eavesdrop much?
00:04:04Ugh.
00:04:04He doesn't even have manners.
00:04:08Where did Preston go?
00:04:09He's not feeling well.
00:04:12He needs to be down here showing his face.
00:04:14I know.
00:04:14It's so much worse.
00:04:17I don't know why.
00:04:17Deep breaths.
00:04:19Actually, don't worry.
00:04:20I've got just the plan to keep him in line.
00:04:23He needs to be reminded that I'm not just someone to be tossed aside.
00:04:26Uh, yes.
00:04:32How can I help you?
00:04:33I need you to bring a bottle of champagne and two glasses up to the host's room.
00:04:39My job only includes doing catering for the party.
00:04:41If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford, I suggest you do what I say.
00:04:45Uh, sure.
00:04:47Okay.
00:05:00Shit.
00:05:03Hi, Mom.
00:05:04I am at work.
00:05:05Can I call you back later?
00:05:06Honey, I got married.
00:05:08You what?
00:05:10Father?
00:05:11Son, I'm calling to tell you that I got married.
00:05:14What?
00:05:16Excuse me?
00:05:17That's right.
00:05:19Are you serious?
00:05:21Of course I am.
00:05:23Okay, but Mom, last time was...
00:05:26Listen, this time it's for real.
00:05:29What the hell were you thinking?
00:05:31Mom died less than a year ago.
00:05:33Your mother would want me to be happy.
00:05:35Why don't you?
00:05:37I'm calling to tell you to stay home tomorrow.
00:05:40Why?
00:05:41So you can meet my new wife, of course.
00:05:44So will you come?
00:05:46Okay.
00:05:48Wonderful.
00:05:49We have something nice planned.
00:05:50I want you to be there.
00:05:52Okay.
00:05:53Great.
00:05:54Yeah, I gotta go.
00:05:57Bye, sweetie.
00:05:57If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford, I suggest you do what I say.
00:06:23Hello?
00:06:24Is anybody...
00:06:36No.
00:06:40Shit, shit, shit
00:06:55Um, hello?
00:07:03Um, I am so, so sorry
00:07:06Beautiful woman on her knees in my bedroom
00:07:18I see no reason to apologize
00:07:20I'm gonna finish cleaning all this up, I promise
00:07:30Preston Linford, how dare you cheat on me?
00:07:35And with the help, this is gonna ruin your IPO
00:07:39What the fuck?
00:07:43Where is she?
00:07:45What makes you think I'm cheating on you?
00:07:48We're such a happy couple
00:07:49I, um, I heard
00:07:52Well, it doesn't matter who told me, you are, look
00:07:58Someone dropped this off in my room without me knowing
00:08:02I would thank them if I knew who did it
00:08:05And the girl who brought it up here?
00:08:08Left
00:08:08So should you
00:08:10No
00:08:12Goodbye
00:08:13Preston, stop
00:08:14Thank you for stopping by
00:08:14No, I'm not leaving
00:08:15Yes, you are
00:08:16Preston
00:08:16Bye-bye
00:08:17No, Preston
00:08:18Bye-bye
00:08:18Preston!
00:08:20Preston!
00:08:20I'm so sorry about all this again
00:08:32Guess I should be going
00:08:35I'm afraid I can't allow that
00:08:37What do you mean?
00:08:42I know, Cassie
00:08:43Whatever drama she's stirring up needs to settle
00:08:46I'm guessing she's probably hanging around outside the room for a while
00:08:50But what are we supposed to do in the meantime?
00:08:54Hmm, that's a good question
00:08:56If only...
00:08:59Oh, look
00:09:00Champagne
00:09:02You're in a towel
00:09:08Well, you're right
00:09:10I should probably take it off
00:09:11No
00:09:11All right
00:09:14You're still
00:09:17You're still just wearing a towel
00:09:22Then imagine I have a bathing suit on underneath
00:09:24But you don't
00:09:25Then imagine I don't
00:09:27Cheers
00:09:30Cheers
00:09:33You know, that bottle cost more than my first car
00:09:43Your first car probably tasted better
00:09:44You don't have to drink it
00:09:47No
00:09:47I am willing to try something different tonight
00:09:52Hmm
00:09:52Can I ask you something?
00:09:58Sure
00:09:58Why do you pretend to be with her?
00:10:01I saw you guys arguing downstairs at the party
00:10:05It's complicated
00:10:07Yeah, I get it
00:10:09Just a big important businessman with big important businessman problems
00:10:14You're right
00:10:16Let's just say my cheating act isn't where I want to give my attention to right now
00:10:21How's the champagne?
00:10:30It's growing on me
00:10:31My turn to ask you something
00:10:34All right
00:10:35What's your name?
00:10:42Oh, rest
00:10:53This is Emily, your stepsister
00:10:58I told her to fly
00:10:59Mom
00:11:00But she wouldn't accept money for a plane ticket
00:11:03I don't need any help
00:11:04I can take care of myself
00:11:05Really?
00:11:06She's so stubborn
00:11:07Family
00:11:08Am I right?
00:11:10Best behavior, Emily
00:11:15Darling
00:11:17Look who just arrived
00:11:19You must be Emily
00:11:21Your mother has told me so much about you
00:11:23That's nice
00:11:24I just found out about you yesterday
00:11:26What a kidder
00:11:28Preston
00:11:30Why don't you show Emily around the house?
00:11:34That's a wonderful idea
00:11:35First, you should show your stepsister in the room
00:11:38We are all one big happy family now
00:11:42Fine?
00:11:49Mm-hmm
00:11:49Fine?
00:11:51Mm-hmm
00:11:51Follow me
00:11:53Okay
00:11:54It's just slow down
00:12:03That's not what you said the other night
00:12:06Sis
00:12:07Asshole
00:12:09My mom
00:12:19She's beautiful
00:12:21Was
00:12:22She was beautiful
00:12:25I'm sorry
00:12:28It really was a beautiful photograph of your mom
00:12:42It really captured her joy
00:12:45No
00:12:47I'm a photographer myself
00:12:50Actually
00:12:50Or that's the dream at least
00:12:53To own my own studio
00:12:54But
00:12:56Right now
00:12:57I am just taking photos
00:12:59In between
00:12:59Passing rederves
00:13:00That's why you didn't tell me your name
00:13:03You knew who I was
00:13:06You knew who my family is
00:13:08Wanted to
00:13:09I don't know
00:13:09Secure yourself to me
00:13:11Like your mother did to my father
00:13:12No
00:13:12No
00:13:13No
00:13:13Of course not
00:13:14Seems a little too convenient
00:13:15If you ask me
00:13:16I had no idea
00:13:17Who you were
00:13:18When we
00:13:18Well
00:13:20You know
00:13:22Just
00:13:22I bet this is you
00:13:24And your mother's game
00:13:25No
00:13:28Preston
00:13:29You've got it all wrong
00:13:30I don't think so
00:13:31Listen to me
00:13:33I don't need you
00:13:35Messing everything up
00:13:36Preston
00:13:37I
00:13:37Stay out of my way
00:13:38Don't fuck up my business
00:13:42Preston
00:13:46You got C
00:13:54Zoe
00:13:55OMG
00:13:57Tell me everything
00:13:58Who was the guy your mom married
00:13:59Is he better than the guy that believed opera was amended by aliens
00:14:01Yeah he's
00:14:02Okay but
00:14:03Hey Zoe
00:14:05Do you
00:14:05Remember that guy I hooked up with at that catering event we worked
00:14:09Mr. Hot Moneybags
00:14:11Yeah what about him
00:14:12He is my new stepbrother
00:14:15Zoe
00:14:20Hey did you hear what I said
00:14:23Yeah
00:14:25Yeah I heard
00:14:26That's why my jaw is on the floor
00:14:28Hmm
00:14:30You gotta admit
00:14:31That's kinda hot
00:14:32No it's not
00:14:34No
00:14:34No he is
00:14:35A jerk
00:14:36Okay he
00:14:37He thinks this is some plan I have with my mom to get at his family's money
00:14:41Ugh give the guy a break
00:14:43I'm sure he thinks all women are after his money
00:14:46Yeah but I'm not
00:14:47I know that
00:14:48Give him time and he will too
00:14:49How do you know that
00:14:50Because I know you
00:14:52And money is the last thing you're interested in when dating
00:14:55Thanks C
00:14:56So you're gonna hook up with him again
00:14:58What
00:15:00What
00:15:01I know the fact that it's taboo makes it so much hotter
00:15:04Plus he's right down the hall
00:15:07He's my stepbrother
00:15:09That's not a no
00:15:11Hello
00:15:21Are you still there
00:15:23Yeah
00:15:23Yeah I gotta go
00:15:25Oh what am I gonna do
00:15:30I can't be falling for my stepbrother
00:15:33Oh my god it's you
00:15:42Cassie
00:15:44Meet Emily
00:15:45My stepsister
00:15:47Hmm
00:15:47Well
00:15:49I guess it's true what they say
00:15:51Anything can happen
00:15:52You know I'm not
00:15:53I'm really hungry
00:15:55I think I'm just
00:15:56Oh no no
00:15:57You must stay
00:15:58We were just talking about the investors gala
00:16:01Weren't we darling
00:16:02I came over to set up the house for the event and photo shoot
00:16:07It's all about Preston going public with his company
00:16:10As the youngest CEO
00:16:11It's sure to be quite the event
00:16:14Exactly
00:16:15That's why I insisted you come out as soon as possible
00:16:18I'm sure I could find something useful for you to do at the party
00:16:21Maybe
00:16:22Serving drinks
00:16:24Oh
00:16:24That was just a temporary job
00:16:26My sweetie
00:16:27Oh
00:16:28Oh that's right
00:16:30You're a part of the family now
00:16:33I can't help but look at you and think you're the help
00:16:37Emily is a part of this family now
00:16:43So I suggest you watch what you're saying
00:16:47I didn't mean to offend you
00:16:52It was just an honest observation
00:16:54I mean
00:16:54You said it yourself
00:16:56She's a part of the family now
00:16:57Don't you want her to fit in?
00:16:59I just want Emily to be able to attract a good man
00:17:03Well, that might be a little bit of a stretch
00:17:07I mean
00:17:08I wouldn't say serving drinks is a career
00:17:11And what respectable man would want that long term?
00:17:16Right, Preston?
00:17:18You know, I'm good where I'm at
00:17:19No, you're not
00:17:21Cassie is right
00:17:23If you want to move up in life
00:17:25You need help
00:17:26Lawrence
00:17:27Can't you find her a position at one of your companies?
00:17:30No, no, you don't
00:17:31Oh, I'm sure I could find something
00:17:34But perhaps she'd be a better fit at yours, Preston
00:17:39No
00:17:41She wouldn't be a better fit at my company
00:17:44She probably doesn't even have the proper work experience
00:17:48Excuse me
00:17:49Yeah
00:17:50Hi
00:17:50Yeah, it's me
00:17:51The one whose life you're talking about right now
00:17:54How about we all stop making decisions about me like I'm not even here
00:17:58We are only trying to help
00:18:01Yeah, I'm good
00:18:03Thanks
00:18:04I am just looking out for you like I always have
00:18:09Always
00:18:09Yeah
00:18:10Always
00:18:11Look
00:18:13Maybe if you could be more like Cassie
00:18:17And, you know, find a man who could take care of you, provide for you
00:18:22You know, like Preston
00:18:24I'm sorry, it's just the thought of her with Preston
00:18:32It's ridiculous
00:18:34I don't want to offend you
00:18:37It's just, he's your stepbrother
00:18:39It would be wrong
00:18:41I don't mean Preston himself
00:18:42I just mean a man with money
00:18:45You know, who could pay for your little photographs
00:18:48I don't know how many times I have to go over this with you, Mom
00:18:53Hey, I don't need anyone else's money
00:18:55I
00:18:56I make my photography happen for myself
00:18:59So I don't need you
00:19:01Or anyone else
00:19:03Or some guy to give me money
00:19:05Unlike some people at this table
00:19:07Emily
00:19:09And that's for Preston
00:19:10If he wasn't my so-called stepbrother
00:19:15I wouldn't go near him
00:19:17Let alone be with him
00:19:20No, leave me alone
00:19:29What are you mad at me for?
00:19:32I'm not the one that
00:19:32No, you didn't say it
00:19:34But you sure didn't defend me, did you?
00:19:38I didn't mean to
00:19:39Weren't you the one who said
00:19:41I need to stay out of your way?
00:19:43I
00:19:44Didn't exactly
00:19:46Yes, you did
00:19:47You're right
00:19:50I did
00:19:50I'm sorry
00:19:51It's just because
00:19:53I really need an angel investor
00:19:55To agree to a deal
00:19:56And if people found out about me
00:19:59And my stepsister
00:19:59You know
00:20:01Don't worry
00:20:02I won't tell a soul
00:20:03God, that night was a mistake
00:20:06It should never happen
00:20:09You know what better yet?
00:20:11You never have to see me again
00:20:14I'm leaving
00:20:16What?
00:20:20I'm gonna go
00:20:21For good this time
00:20:22No more fighting with my mother
00:20:24You're free to handle your important deal
00:20:26Without me in the way
00:20:28I was never meant to be a part of this world
00:20:32I need you to do something for me
00:20:41Thanks
00:20:48I'll send it over today
00:20:49What are you doing?
00:20:54I know something is going on between you and Emily
00:20:56She's your stepsister, Preston
00:20:59I know that
00:21:00And I am your girlfriend
00:21:02You are not my girlfriend
00:21:04I am
00:21:05If you want your father to think you're a good boy
00:21:08I know what this gala and this company means to you
00:21:12Without me by your side
00:21:13Investors flee
00:21:15The business fails
00:21:17You'll be an embarrassment
00:21:18And then you'll never be able to get out from under your father's control
00:21:23It's your choice
00:21:25Either me and all your dreams of success
00:21:29Or
00:21:30Nothing
00:21:32Come on
00:21:34Let's feed things up
00:21:36You need to behave
00:21:37And come down and finish your breakfast
00:21:39Hello
00:21:50Yes, this is Emily Monroe
00:21:53You serious?
00:22:00Uh, um
00:22:01Yes
00:22:03No, no, no
00:22:03Yes, I am
00:22:04I'm incredibly interested
00:22:05Mm-hmm
00:22:07I-I-I can be there later today
00:22:10Yeah
00:22:11Thank you
00:22:12Thank you so much
00:22:13Yeah
00:22:14Mm-hmm
00:22:17Mm-hmm
00:22:21Preston
00:22:25Strawberry for my favorite billionaire
00:22:27Oh, Emily
00:22:37I heard you say you were leaving
00:22:40I'm so sorry to hear that
00:22:43But
00:22:44It's for the best
00:22:45It's not like you fit in
00:22:48We didn't want you to feel like you were out of place
00:22:50Or an outsider
00:22:51Actually
00:22:54I think I'll stay a little while
00:22:56What?
00:22:58I have an interview at a photography studio
00:23:00Really?
00:23:01Yeah
00:23:02Mm-hmm
00:23:02The owner saw my work on Instagram
00:23:04Liked it
00:23:05And then
00:23:05Decided to reach out
00:23:07Crazy
00:23:07Right?
00:23:08Honey
00:23:08That's wonderful
00:23:09Well, I think congratulations are in order
00:23:12Thank you
00:23:14So
00:23:15The interview was actually this afternoon
00:23:18And I
00:23:18I don't exactly have a ride
00:23:21So
00:23:21I was wondering if one of you could give me a ride
00:23:24I can take her
00:23:25Oh, what?
00:23:30Afraid to be alone with me?
00:23:35You know
00:23:35If you wanted to spend more time with me
00:23:37All you had to do was ask
00:23:39You offered to drive me
00:23:41Just wanted to be there for my stepsister
00:23:44You seem so desperate
00:23:47I don't exactly have a car
00:23:51I need a big strong man to drive me
00:23:53That's not what I said
00:23:55You seem so nervous
00:24:01Victor is a world-renowned photographer
00:24:05I mean, this might be my one chance
00:24:08I really need this
00:24:10Not that you'd understand
00:24:16I mean, you've had everything handed to you your whole life
00:24:18You'd be surprised
00:24:20Thank you for the ride
00:24:25What are you doing?
00:24:29Opening the door for you
00:24:30What a gentleman
00:24:32Good luck
00:25:02Why did I do that?
00:25:06Uh-huh
00:25:07Mm-hmm
00:25:07Yeah, that's crap
00:25:10Shit, lady
00:25:12Oh, Jesus
00:25:14Oh, you can't save it
00:25:20I want you to come work for me
00:25:26Seriously?
00:25:31Yeah
00:25:31I'd love that
00:25:33Yeah, great
00:25:34Can you, um, start tomorrow?
00:25:37Yeah, absolutely
00:25:38I can, it would
00:25:39Um
00:25:41I actually might have a family thing
00:25:46You might?
00:25:47Oh, that's funny
00:25:48I thought I was just offering you your dream job
00:25:50So just let me know
00:25:51You are
00:25:51It is, it is
00:25:53Yeah, I mean, if it's not that important to you
00:25:55There are plenty of other people that would want the job
00:25:56No, it is very important to me
00:25:57Very important
00:25:58I can make it work
00:25:59Yeah, no
00:26:00Good
00:26:01You know, because I don't usually take on apprentices
00:26:03Tend to find them
00:26:05Lazy
00:26:06I promise it will work
00:26:08Really hard
00:26:09Good
00:26:09Good
00:26:10Of course
00:26:11Look
00:26:12If you're going to work for me
00:26:16You're going to do what I say
00:26:18Whatever I say
00:26:21Oh, that's not the correct spoon for that
00:26:31Don't let me stop you
00:26:32I'd be lost without you
00:26:38So much of this is so new to me
00:26:41It all happened rather suddenly, didn't it?
00:26:45Must feel like such a whirlwind for you and Emily
00:26:47Emily
00:26:48Emily's able to adapt well
00:26:49Emily's able to adapt well
00:26:49Is she dating anyone?
00:26:51Not really
00:26:52Why do you ask?
00:26:54Oh, just curious
00:26:56Well, as far as I know, she doesn't date much
00:26:58Her photography is the most important thing to her
00:27:01And if anything got in the way of that, it would really upset her
00:27:04Good to know
00:27:07I'm sorry?
00:27:10Oh, um, nothing
00:27:12Just wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her in that way
00:27:17How'd it go?
00:27:22Pretty good
00:27:22You know, Victor is...
00:27:25Well, he's...
00:27:27Victor is what?
00:27:28Victor is intense
00:27:30I mean, he's the kind of man who thinks that because he's a genius
00:27:34Gives him the right to behave however he wants
00:27:36What do you mean?
00:27:39He didn't say or do anything inappropriate, did he?
00:27:41No, no
00:27:41I think he just wanted to make sure I was serious about the job
00:27:45I'm sure he gets a lot of fangirls that want to come in and waste his time
00:27:49Oh, I didn't order this
00:27:54I did
00:27:54Thank you
00:27:56I thought we could celebrate you getting the job
00:27:59By taking you out for a drink
00:28:00Taking me out?
00:28:04Is this a date?
00:28:09No
00:28:09No, it's not a date
00:28:12You're my step-sibling
00:28:15That would be weird
00:28:16Right?
00:28:19Mm-hmm
00:28:19It's not a date
00:28:21No
00:28:22It's just a platonic sit-down between a step-brother and a step-sister
00:28:26Nothing more to celebrate you getting the job
00:28:30Thank you
00:28:31How'd you know I would get the job?
00:28:35Uh, obviously you would
00:28:40I mean, you're so talented
00:28:42Thank you
00:28:45I mean, it feels really good to have my work recognized, you know
00:28:49And to know that I got the job because of my skill and my ability
00:28:52Not because of anyone else
00:28:54Right
00:28:56I mean, you probably feel the same too, right?
00:28:59What do you mean?
00:29:00I mean, your company's about to go public
00:29:03A company you built on your own without your dad's help
00:29:05If this were a date, I'd be pretty impressed
00:29:10Well, good thing it's not a date
00:29:14Good thing
00:29:17Yeah
00:29:18Uh, besides, um
00:29:22It's been a constant fight trying to keep my father away from my company
00:29:26He wants to merge
00:29:28Says it's for my own good
00:29:30But in reality, he just wants to control everything
00:29:33Yeah, I guess we both have parents that want to control every part of our lives
00:29:37Yeah
00:29:39I just gotta get through this IPO without any scandals
00:29:43And I'll be okay
00:29:45Well, to no scandals
00:29:49No scandals
00:29:51If we're trying to avoid scandal
00:29:56Do you think this is a little dangerous?
00:29:59I said no scandals
00:30:01I didn't say no danger
00:30:03Okay, wait, don't move
00:30:07Well, let me see
00:30:25No, no, no
00:30:26It's not digital
00:30:29So you're gonna have to wait
00:30:30This isn't a date
00:30:36Obviously not
00:30:38Obviously not
00:30:41Mm-hmm
00:30:41But if this were a date
00:30:44Yeah
00:30:46This would be the moment
00:30:48I want to kiss you
00:30:49And this would be the moment
00:30:52I'd let you
00:30:53Oh, shit
00:31:01Dude
00:31:05Are you on a date with your stepsister?
00:31:09I have to take this
00:31:10Is everything okay?
00:31:13Yeah
00:31:13I'll just tell you about it at home
00:31:14I'll get a ride share
00:31:16Thanks
00:31:18Are you insane?
00:31:21Going on a date with your stepsister?
00:31:22It's not a date
00:31:24Uh, sure looks like one
00:31:26Are you having me followed?
00:31:31Obviously
00:31:31Like I said before
00:31:33I'm protecting my investment
00:31:35This is not a date
00:31:37All right?
00:31:39All right, look
00:31:39Yes, it may look like a date
00:31:41But the truth is
00:31:43I don't care about what the truth is
00:31:45I only care about what it looks like
00:31:46Why?
00:31:47Because everyone else
00:31:47Only cares about what it looks like
00:31:49Perception is everything
00:31:51I know
00:31:52Do you?
00:31:53Because I have a photo here
00:31:54That says you have no idea
00:31:55I'm coming over there
00:31:57Look, you don't have to come here
00:31:59Yes, I do
00:32:00Because someone has to make sure
00:32:02You don't fuck your stepsister
00:32:04And in turn
00:32:05Fuck over this company
00:32:06Dylan
00:32:08Oh, Emily
00:32:12Come over and lend us a hand
00:32:13Oh, I don't know
00:32:15Please
00:32:16I want to hear all about your interview
00:32:18Oh, well
00:32:19It was for an apprentice
00:32:20For a pretty famous photographer
00:32:21Oh, wow
00:32:23When do you hear back about the position?
00:32:26He actually gave me the job on the spot
00:32:29Really?
00:32:30Mm-hmm
00:32:30Oh, that's wonderful
00:32:31Yeah
00:32:32Wow
00:32:34So
00:32:34That means you'll stay?
00:32:37Yeah, for a little bit at least
00:32:39Well, if he's so famous
00:32:42Then what's his name?
00:32:43Maybe I've heard of him
00:32:44Victor Ward
00:32:45Mm-hmm
00:32:47I think I have heard of him
00:32:49He has quite the reputation around here
00:32:52What was that?
00:33:05Don't you have like 10 other bathrooms in this place?
00:33:19What was that?
00:33:20Don't you have like 10 other bathrooms in this place?
00:33:23We do
00:33:27But this one has better company
00:33:29Oh
00:33:35Got a little, uh
00:33:37W-X-Y and you've got Zine
00:33:52Hey Zoe, it's me
00:33:53Oh, it's the brother lover
00:33:55Ugh, okay, that is gross
00:33:58Ugh, it's not my fault
00:33:59You've got the hots for your stepbrother
00:34:01Can we talk about something else, please?
00:34:03You still haven't denied it
00:34:04So I am calling you from my new job
00:34:07New job?
00:34:09Hey, that's amazing
00:34:10Yeah, it's with Victor Ward
00:34:11He's absolutely brilliant
00:34:13Ward?
00:34:15Yeah
00:34:15You heard of him?
00:34:17Uh, I have actually
00:34:19Em, listen
00:34:20Please tell me you're not on your phone
00:34:23On your first day in my studio
00:34:25Please tell me I'm not seeing that
00:34:27I am so sorry
00:34:31I assumed that since I had gotten here early
00:34:33It might be okay because I hadn't clocked in yet
00:34:35Oh, that's so great
00:34:36Oh my god, I'm so sorry
00:34:37I'm so sorry
00:34:37I should have been thinking about your feelings
00:34:39What was I doing?
00:34:40Okay, you know what?
00:34:41I'm going to take a little break
00:34:42All right?
00:34:42Just, just, just hold on a sec
00:34:44Have we clocked in now?
00:34:48Yeah?
00:34:48Okay, great
00:34:49Okay
00:34:49Tell you what
00:34:50Here we go
00:34:51Now, you're going to take all these
00:34:54You're going to organize them by date and subject
00:34:57Okay?
00:34:58Let that sink in
00:34:59Do me a favor
00:35:00Try to ease off the phone breaks
00:35:02All right?
00:35:02I'll see you in a little bit
00:35:03All right
00:35:04Okay
00:35:06Well, don't tell me that you're done already
00:35:19Wow
00:35:20Star for you
00:35:23Well, then
00:35:25Call me a miracle worker
00:35:26Because I am done
00:35:27Oh
00:35:29Yeah
00:35:30It's just one box
00:35:35And I'm actually going to need you
00:35:38To organize all of the boxes
00:35:41So, why don't you handle that
00:35:46And I'm going to
00:35:48I'm going to go to lunch
00:35:50Okay?
00:35:52I'll see you in a bit
00:35:53Okay
00:35:53Toodaloo
00:35:54Nice work
00:36:02I usually give new apprentices
00:36:04Pretty menial tasks on their first day
00:36:07Just to see if they'll stick around
00:36:08You're best
00:36:10Thank God
00:36:11I really would do anything for this opportunity
00:36:15Well, that's great to hear
00:36:17What do you say we go out
00:36:19And, you know, discuss what else you're willing to do for me over a drink?
00:36:23Normally that would work
00:36:29But, like I said yesterday
00:36:30I have a family thing tonight
00:36:32It's kind of important
00:36:33Oh, well
00:36:34I'm kind of important
00:36:37Yeah, but it's my stepbrother's company's event
00:36:42They're still finalizing all the arrangements
00:36:44It's important I'm there
00:36:45You understand, right?
00:36:47Yeah, I mean
00:36:48I know that this job is important to you
00:36:50At least, you know
00:36:51That's what you told me
00:36:53You were telling me the truth, right?
00:36:57Mm-hmm
00:36:57This job is important to you
00:37:00It is
00:37:01And
00:37:01And
00:37:02I would do anything for you
00:37:04But
00:37:04And I've already done
00:37:08Everything you've asked
00:37:09And you said I've done a great job
00:37:10True
00:37:10Well, true
00:37:11I guess you just have to ask yourself
00:37:13What else are you willing to do for it?
00:37:17Please let go
00:37:18Well, just think about it
00:37:21Why don't you clean up the rest of the stuff
00:37:23Then you can go
00:37:24Oh, Preston
00:37:29Hi
00:37:29Victor
00:37:30Thank you for meeting me
00:37:36So last minute
00:37:37Sure
00:37:37I need to talk to you about Emily
00:37:46Okay
00:37:47You know
00:37:48Oh, no
00:37:49You were right
00:37:49Talent
00:37:51Through the roof
00:37:52But
00:37:53She's been
00:37:57Rather resistant
00:37:59To my creative process
00:38:02No way
00:38:03I don't know how
00:38:05Listen
00:38:07I need an assistant
00:38:09Who is solely focused
00:38:11On me
00:38:12My work
00:38:13My studio
00:38:14The space
00:38:15I just
00:38:15This is the opportunity
00:38:20Of a lifetime
00:38:20Okay
00:38:21Need you to understand that
00:38:23And
00:38:23She's just breezing through it
00:38:25And
00:38:27I'm
00:38:27I'm
00:38:27I usually get what I want
00:38:31I'll
00:38:34Go talk to her
00:38:35Thank you
00:38:35Thank you
00:38:36Just
00:38:36Get her head on straight
00:38:41You know
00:38:42Otherwise
00:38:42Her career might be over
00:38:44Before it's even begun
00:38:45Emily
00:38:53What happened
00:38:56Hey
00:38:58Listen
00:39:00I talked to Victor
00:39:02He said you weren't a
00:39:04Quote team player
00:39:05But I know how committed you are
00:39:08And you've worked hard for it
00:39:11You asked me
00:39:12If I would go get drinks
00:39:14With him
00:39:14And when I said no
00:39:18He
00:39:18He touched me
00:39:22And
00:39:22I'm gonna kill that bastard
00:39:24No I can
00:39:25I can handle it
00:39:26Just quit
00:39:28Alright
00:39:29You can get a better job
00:39:30I can't
00:39:31I can't
00:39:32I mean this is the closest
00:39:35I have ever come
00:39:36To becoming
00:39:36A professional photographer
00:39:38And
00:39:38And if I want to run my own studio
00:39:40This is a really good step
00:39:42There has to be another way
00:39:44I mean without this job
00:39:46I might as well move back to LA
00:39:48No
00:39:48Look
00:39:49You don't have to do that
00:39:50Alright
00:39:51You can keep living with my father
00:39:52And I'll even cover your living expenses
00:39:54Absolutely not
00:39:55No I
00:39:56I earned this job on my own
00:39:58Okay
00:40:00It wasn't handed to me
00:40:01And I
00:40:01I'm going to keep it on my terms
00:40:03I would rather be homeless
00:40:07Than live off of some man's money
00:40:08Listen
00:40:11Are you busy
00:40:13What
00:40:14I know we have to leave soon
00:40:16But
00:40:16I was wondering if I could show you something
00:40:18Uh
00:40:19Sure
00:40:20I'm sorry
00:40:22I totally interrupted what you were going to say
00:40:24They can wait
00:40:25I'm pretty sure you're about to show me how talented you are
00:40:29You have no idea
00:40:31Come on
00:40:33Preston and I were supposed to go over some things
00:40:39With the event coordinator for the gala
00:40:40Do you know where he is
00:40:42Uh
00:40:43He went to pick up Emily from work
00:40:45And they should have returned already
00:40:47I swear that boy needs to be matched
00:40:51I'll find out what's going on
00:40:54Thank you
00:40:55He's with her
00:40:58Are you sure?
00:41:01Then do it
00:41:10Wow
00:41:12You took all these?
00:41:15Sure did
00:41:16These are so good
00:41:19Really
00:41:21I'm so impressed
00:41:24Then get excited
00:41:26Because I have an extra special surprise for you
00:41:29Oh
00:41:31For you
00:41:35Oh
00:41:37What did you think I was going to get you?
00:41:42Nothing
00:41:42Open it
00:41:44It's the photograph I took of you in the cafe
00:41:46Well yeah
00:41:49Actually
00:41:50Um
00:41:50Actually
00:41:53Can you open it when I'm not here?
00:41:58I'm a little embarrassed
00:41:59Just open it tonight
00:42:00Whatever you want
00:42:02I'll do it
00:42:05Do you want to help me develop one?
00:42:09Sure
00:42:09And now you're going to take the tongs and flip it
00:42:15Okay
00:42:17And we'll flip it to the other side
00:42:21And now it's ready
00:42:29You can take it out
00:42:31Okay
00:42:33And you'll hang it right there
00:42:37How long do we let it dry for?
00:42:43A bit
00:42:47Dylan
00:42:48What the hell are you doing here?
00:42:50What am I doing here?
00:42:50What are you doing here?
00:42:52You may have ruined Emily's photos
00:42:53Don't give a shit about her pointless hobby
00:42:56Hey
00:42:56I'm going to let you two just
00:42:57Wait
00:42:58Uh
00:43:01Preston
00:43:02The investors gala is tomorrow night
00:43:04In case you forgot
00:43:05Why the fuck are you wasting your time here?
00:43:07You need to get your priorities in order
00:43:09I didn't forget
00:43:10And my priorities are just fine
00:43:12Not from where I'm standing
00:43:13Does any of this even matter to you anymore?
00:43:17Of course it matters
00:43:22Honestly it hasn't felt like that recently
00:43:25Stop second guessing my dedication to my company
00:43:28Are you serious?
00:43:30Ever since Emily and her stupid mother showed up
00:43:32You have lost focus
00:43:33You leave my mother out of this
00:43:36Why?
00:43:36It's the truth
00:43:37Enough
00:43:37Dylan
00:43:38Emily and Beatrice have nothing to do with this
00:43:41I am your best friend
00:43:42And I am not just going to sit back
00:43:44And watch you ruin everything you built
00:43:45For some manipulative gold digger
00:43:48Dylan
00:43:49Get out
00:43:51But Preston
00:43:52And don't you ever speak that way to my stepsister again
00:43:55So long Emily
00:44:20Emily
00:44:24Emily
00:44:26Emily
00:44:27Look I'm so sorry
00:44:29It's fine
00:44:30No it's not fine
00:44:31I know you're not a gold digger
00:44:32Were any of these ruined?
00:44:37No
00:44:37Thankfully
00:44:38In fact you would have more of a reason to dislike me
00:44:41If I wasted any of his supplies
00:44:43Look you don't have to work here
00:44:47All right
00:44:49Let me find you something else
00:44:52Something better
00:44:54No
00:44:54Okay
00:44:56I am fine
00:44:57I don't need your help
00:45:00And if you left me alone
00:45:01You'd see that
00:45:02And if I left you alone now
00:45:05How would you get a ride home?
00:45:09Fine
00:45:10You can leave me alone
00:45:12After
00:45:14You give me a ride
00:45:15Shut up
00:45:20I'm still mad at you
00:45:22Thanks
00:45:28Oh
00:45:28Sorry
00:45:29Sorry
00:45:30Now I know
00:45:33Yeah
00:45:34Cassie stopped by
00:45:37Yeah I know
00:45:38She said you blew off the final meeting with the event coordinator
00:45:41Well it wasn't necessary
00:45:43All right I have everything set up already for tomorrow
00:45:45I'm thinking
00:45:48Perhaps
00:45:49Emily
00:45:50Has been distracting you from your priorities
00:45:53I agree
00:45:54What?
00:45:56You serious?
00:45:57I'm starting to think
00:45:58I should be taking a more active role in your company
00:46:01So
00:46:01Not gonna happen
00:46:02The gal is gonna be perfect
00:46:04The IPO is gonna be a huge success
00:46:06And you're gonna finally see
00:46:08I don't need you controlling every aspect of my life
00:46:10Insolent boy
00:46:13Outdated fossil
00:46:15Listen
00:46:22I don't care if you don't care about yourself
00:46:26But do not mess this up for me
00:46:28Ugh
00:46:36Jeez
00:46:37Haven't you caused enough drama for one day?
00:46:41I want you to stay away from Preston
00:46:43He is mine
00:46:45So you better stay out of the way
00:46:47Don't think you're even a real threat
00:46:48Hmm
00:46:49Then why do you seem so threatened?
00:46:54You don't belong here
00:46:55It's mine and Preston's world
00:46:58Everyone else here knows it
00:47:00And soon
00:47:00He will too
00:47:01So maybe
00:47:03You should go back to where you belong
00:47:05Before he has to kick you back there himself
00:47:08Hmm
00:47:09Hmm
00:47:10Hmm
00:47:12Hmm
00:47:13Hmm
00:47:14Hmm
00:47:15Hmm
00:47:16Hmm
00:47:17Hmm
00:47:18Hmm
00:47:20Hmm
00:47:21Hmm
00:47:22Hmm
00:47:23Hmm
00:47:24Hmm
00:47:25Hmm
00:47:26Hmm
00:47:27Hmm
00:47:28Hmm
00:47:29Hmm
00:47:30Hmm
00:47:31Hmm
00:47:32Hmm
00:47:33Hmm
00:47:34Hmm
00:47:35Hmm
00:47:36Hmm
00:47:37Hmm
00:47:38Hey, um, Mom
00:47:39I was wondering, um
00:47:42Do you have anything I can wear for tonight?
00:47:46I don't have anything that's suitable and
00:47:48And I don't want to embarrass you or
00:47:50Mr. Langford or
00:47:52Preston
00:47:53You don't know how much it means to hear you say that
00:47:56I know
00:47:57I really do love you and I only want the best for you
00:48:02Marrying Lawrence gives us so much more than I could ever give you
00:48:07I know you love me
00:48:10I have got the perfect dress for you
00:48:12I have got the perfect dress for you
00:48:18Preston
00:48:20I've been thinking
00:48:21Sounds like a pretty new experience for you
00:48:23I don't think Emily should attend the gala tonight
00:48:27And why is that
00:48:29And why is that?
00:48:31Because she's not like us
00:48:34She's not a part of our world
00:48:40You can see that, right?
00:48:42She's probably not going to attend anyways
00:48:44Well good, because you know she probably wouldn't fit in
00:48:49Besides, it is better that you and your father keep your distance
00:48:53From Emily and Beatrice
00:48:55I just want what's best for you
00:49:00I always have
00:49:02And once the IPO becomes a success
00:49:07It'll just be you and me
00:49:10Against the world
00:49:12Like it was in the beginning
00:49:14So
00:49:19This is what girls from Preston's world dress like
00:49:24I wonder if he'll like me in this
00:49:27Wait
00:49:30What am I doing?
00:49:32Preston's my stepbrother
00:49:34I hope Emily attends the gala tonight
00:49:37I should have bought her a dress
00:49:39Or at least some jewelry
00:49:41She doesn't need designer anything
00:49:44She's beautiful
00:49:45Just as she is
00:49:47Oh, damn it
00:49:48Stop!
00:49:49She's your stepsister
00:49:53Emily, I need to talk to you
00:49:55I know we're not supposed to feel like this
00:50:00But
00:50:02I don't
00:50:07Oh God
00:50:09I'm so sorry
00:50:11No, I haven't
00:50:12What is it you
00:50:16Want to talk to me about?
00:50:18I just wanted to let you know
00:50:20Why all of this is so important to me
00:50:24Okay
00:50:27My father never believed in my company
00:50:30Or me for that matter
00:50:32It was always my mother
00:50:34Who encouraged me to
00:50:35Do it all on my own
00:50:37And not be under my father's thumb my whole life
00:50:38I get that
00:50:40I get that
00:50:42So my company going public
00:50:44As important as that is
00:50:46It's really also about my mother's legacy
00:50:48A way to keep her memory alive
00:50:51Exactly
00:50:53This could be my only chance to really do something on my own
00:50:57Yeah
00:50:59Yeah
00:51:01I understand that
00:51:03I knew you would
00:51:09Um, shoot, can you help me with this?
00:51:14Can you help me with this?
00:51:15You know, I thought you wanted to do everything on your own
00:51:37You didn't want anybody to help you with anything
00:51:39Maybe I wouldn't mind if you helped me today
00:51:48Hmm
00:51:49What?
00:52:05It's so funny
00:52:07Well, the last time we were this close
00:52:10The zipper was going the opposite direction
00:52:12Oh, Preston
00:52:15You blushing?
00:52:16Maybe
00:52:17Maybe
00:52:19Hmm
00:52:21Well, why don't you pretend I just have a swimsuit on under here
00:52:24Now see, when I said that
00:52:27I wasn't wearing anything underneath
00:52:30Hmm
00:52:31Hmm
00:52:55Now it's fair
00:52:58Yeah
00:52:59Yeah, it is.
00:53:29Yeah, it is.
00:53:59Yeah, it is.
00:54:29Yeah, it is.
00:54:35Oh, um.
00:54:38Emily, you look so beautiful in your dress.
00:54:42It almost makes me forget that when I met you, you were the help.
00:54:45When I first met you, you were a leech.
00:54:50Too bad only one of us has changed.
00:54:54Preston, I have an investor that I want you to meet.
00:54:58Be a doll and take care of my drink for me.
00:55:01You remember how to do that, right?
00:55:02Come.
00:55:10Come.
00:55:10You don't belong here.
00:55:39Excuse me?
00:55:41You heard what I said.
00:55:43It's probably better for you to just leave.
00:55:48Now.
00:55:48See, Preston?
00:56:00He belongs in this world.
00:56:03You never will.
00:56:07No matter how many fancy dresses you wear to pretend otherwise.
00:56:12But Cassie, you see how perfectly she fits by his side?
00:56:22You can never do that.
00:56:25So stop trying.
00:56:28You're just embarrassing yourself.
00:56:30Hey, you are cute.
00:56:38And Preston was being really nice to you.
00:56:41Just to get laid.
00:56:43I mean, he would never go out with you in public.
00:56:51Ever.
00:56:51Just think about that.
00:56:56Emily!
00:57:11Emily!
00:57:14There was a guest at the party and...
00:57:16I swear to God.
00:57:18Do not ruin this for me.
00:57:22What?
00:57:23Do not cause a scene at the gala tonight.
00:57:25Mom, I'm not causing a scene.
00:57:27I am so sick of your excuses.
00:57:30Why can't you just try to fit in?
00:57:32We need this, Emily.
00:57:36Fine.
00:57:38Fine, whatever you say.
00:57:40You know, as long as it makes you feel more secure with your relationship with Mr. Langford and his money.
00:57:45See, I told you.
00:57:59No.
00:58:00Preston, please let me explain.
00:58:01Preston.
00:58:02I...
00:58:02Let him go.
00:58:03No, Mom, he...
00:58:04He thinks I'm after him and his father's money.
00:58:08It doesn't matter what he thinks.
00:58:09He's not important.
00:58:11As long as Lawrence and I are married, everything will be just fine.
00:58:15No, Mom, you don't...
00:58:17Hey, wait, Preston, wait!
00:58:25Preston, wait.
00:58:26Ah, Preston, perfect timing.
00:58:28Let's take some family photos.
00:58:30Sure.
00:58:30No, before you do that, can we just talk?
00:58:34Okay, I need to explain...
00:58:36You don't need to explain anything.
00:58:37I get it now.
00:58:38No, you don't.
00:58:39Okay, you misunderstood.
00:58:40It doesn't matter.
00:58:40Let's talk later.
00:58:41Let's take a family photo to commemorate this wonderful night.
00:58:51It really is a wonderful night.
00:58:53Honey, do you have your camera?
00:58:56Yeah.
00:58:58Oh, yeah.
00:59:00You should take the photo, Emily.
00:59:02Is it this wonderful?
00:59:26Let's take some with the immediate family only.
00:59:30Oh, well, then I won't have to move, as I'll be a Langford soon.
00:59:35What do you mean, Cassie?
00:59:38Well, we didn't want to say anything with everything going on with Preston's company going public, but...
00:59:44We're engaged.
00:59:46That's wonderful.
00:59:48I am so happy for you.
00:59:51Preston, is this true?
00:59:54Yes, it is true.
00:59:56We got engaged three months ago.
00:59:58But we didn't want to make any announcements until everything with the company was finalized.
01:00:03Congratulations.
01:00:05Proud of you, son.
01:00:07Thanks, Dad.
01:00:10Congratulations.
01:00:12Emily, snap away.
01:00:16It's true, you know.
01:00:18They were engaged.
01:00:20Preston asked her to marry him.
01:00:23Of course, that was before he found out she was cheating on him.
01:00:25But it looks like he's finally over it.
01:00:30I guess so.
01:00:31I guess so.
01:00:55Uh, excuse me a moment.
01:01:11You're leaving now?
01:01:13You're engaged now?
01:01:15You know what?
01:01:17No, it...
01:01:17It doesn't concern me.
01:01:22You know, I thought you were different.
01:01:23I thought you were different.
01:01:26What does that mean?
01:01:27I heard you.
01:01:28With your mother.
01:01:29What, you think I imagined that?
01:01:31No, you misunderstood what I said and then refused to listen when I tried to explain.
01:01:37Since the beginning, you've assumed I've been after your money.
01:01:40And you've been looking for every excuse to prove what you already know deep in your heart.
01:01:44That I'm not good enough for you.
01:01:49I'm not from your world.
01:01:50Yeah, I'm good for a good fun tumble with the help.
01:01:54But God forbid you, you may see it in public with me.
01:01:57God forbid I embarrass you.
01:01:58Are you done?
01:01:59I'm good for a good one.
01:02:02Huh.
01:02:04Yes.
01:02:07I am so done with you.
01:02:10I mean, you've clearly sold your soul to the devil herself to make your business a success.
01:02:18Goodbye.
01:02:19Victor, what the hell are you doing here?
01:02:29I came to confront a thief!
01:02:33Apparently, Emily stole a very valuable ring that's supposed to be used in a photo shoot for tomorrow.
01:02:38What are you talking about?
01:02:40What ring?
01:02:41I'm not a thief.
01:02:42You can explain it to the police.
01:02:45Sure.
01:02:46Yeah, I bet they'd be very interested to know all the ways you've sexually harassed me since I started.
01:02:54You little bitch!
01:02:55All right, hey, look.
01:02:56This is not the time or the place for this.
01:02:59All right?
01:02:59Victor, if you think she stole something from you, you can talk to the police about it.
01:03:04Emily.
01:03:04No, I get it.
01:03:06Yeah, I wouldn't want to ruin your precious gala.
01:03:10But, but I am not a thief.
01:03:14I am not a gold digger, and I have never taken something I didn't earn on my own.
01:03:22If Emily never stole anything, then why don't you check her purse, Victor?
01:03:28Emily?
01:03:28I knew you were a thief.
01:03:44Oh, oh yeah.
01:03:46No, that ring was sitting on a stool for you to photograph tomorrow, exactly where you insisted
01:03:49I put it.
01:03:51Victor, I suggest you press charges.
01:03:53Emily.
01:03:54Do you really believe I'd steal?
01:03:58Emily, the ring was in your purse.
01:04:01Who am I supposed to trust?
01:04:03Well, clearly you trust Cassie, who just happened to walk in and magically know where the stolen ring was.
01:04:08That is a ridiculous accusation.
01:04:11Emily, I went through so much effort to arrange your dream job for you.
01:04:15And you risked throwing it all away for a piece of jewelry?
01:04:21What did you say?
01:04:23Nothing.
01:04:24I just...
01:04:24No, you said you got me that job.
01:04:27Yes, I did, but...
01:04:28You didn't believe I could do it?
01:04:31No, of course not.
01:04:33He's the one that said you were...
01:04:34I don't care what he said.
01:04:34You...
01:04:35You didn't believe I was good enough to get the job of my own, so you bribed someone to hire me.
01:04:41It's not like that.
01:04:42Yes, it is.
01:04:47Wow.
01:04:51This is really good to know.
01:04:52Okay.
01:04:58I have had enough.
01:05:00I quit, you fucking scumbag.
01:05:04Keep whatever money Preston bribed you with.
01:05:09Congratulations on your engagement.
01:05:11Why don't you use the ring you had someone steal from Victor as your engagement ring?
01:05:15It is just as ugly and tacky as you.
01:05:19How dare you?
01:05:20What in the world is going on?
01:05:26Take your business deal and choke on it.
01:05:30You...
01:05:31You shameless money hunting great bastard.
01:05:37No, I...
01:05:38I can't believe I actually thought I was falling in love with you.
01:05:50Um...
01:05:50Ew, that's your stepbrother.
01:05:52Hey, I wasn't ready.
01:06:13Oh, damn.
01:06:14I look good.
01:06:15Yeah, you do.
01:06:17Well, you are a great photographer.
01:06:19No, clearly I'm not.
01:06:22Listen, I hate what that jerk face did to you.
01:06:27But...
01:06:28Just a tiny little but.
01:06:30It sounds like you really did love you.
01:06:33What?
01:06:34It's just everything he did for you to get that job.
01:06:38You mean bribing someone to hire me?
01:06:39I didn't say it was right.
01:06:41I'm just saying maybe he didn't express himself well.
01:06:45Or, in other words, maybe he was just being a guy.
01:06:49No, Preston thinks he can throw money to solve all of his problems.
01:06:52My stepsister is embarrassing.
01:06:54Let me throw money at it.
01:06:56Yeah, that really wasn't the best idea.
01:06:59I mean, it doesn't even matter.
01:07:00His company is going to be a hit.
01:07:03And his lifestyle article is going to come out.
01:07:06And there's going to be this perfect family there.
01:07:10And everyone gets exactly what they wanted.
01:07:13Except for you.
01:07:16Didn't you know?
01:07:18I don't count.
01:07:20Not in his world.
01:07:23Hang on.
01:07:23I never used A.
01:07:26What?
01:07:27Did you mean this article?
01:07:28New Wonderkind.
01:07:30Preston Langford is about to soar to new words.
01:07:41I...
01:07:42I took this photo.
01:07:50That is a pretty good photo.
01:07:53We're closed.
01:07:54Sorry.
01:07:54Zoe, that's...
01:07:55I know who it is.
01:07:56I was just staring at his picture.
01:07:59Can we talk?
01:08:03I guess I'll go to the back and pretend that I can't hear everything I'm listening to.
01:08:09I would have been here a lot sooner.
01:08:11But...
01:08:11You were hard to track down.
01:08:14Zoe had to tag you in one of her posts.
01:08:20How was your launch?
01:08:22Not that you care.
01:08:23No, you're right.
01:08:24I don't.
01:08:25Well, the launch went really well.
01:08:27Despite everything.
01:08:29And, uh...
01:08:31Yeah, it was a huge success.
01:08:33Landed a lot of business partners.
01:08:36Investors.
01:08:36It's good to hear.
01:08:39Your mom would be really proud of you.
01:08:44Sure of that.
01:08:46Nah.
01:08:48She wouldn't have been proud.
01:08:49She would have been disappointed.
01:08:54Because I wasn't honest with you.
01:08:57And I chose business over love.
01:09:01Just like my father always did.
01:09:03Anyways, I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry.
01:09:09And I was hoping that we could maybe start over.
01:09:12When you left, what you said about Cassie knowing where the ring was in your purse,
01:09:20it sunk in.
01:09:21I knew you were telling the truth.
01:09:25Dylan, he's the one who stole the ring the night at the studio.
01:09:28He planted it in your purse at the party to frame you.
01:09:34Security footage proves all of that.
01:09:37So what?
01:09:38Victor just went back to his studio?
01:09:39I reported him to the labor board.
01:09:43And many of his assistants have spoken out against him.
01:09:47There's a lawsuit in the works.
01:09:49And they're probably going to contact you about it.
01:09:51And he's probably going to lose everything.
01:09:54Wow.
01:09:55Yeah.
01:09:56Yeah.
01:09:58I just, I couldn't let him get away with treating you like that.
01:10:03I'm just so sorry.
01:10:05I didn't act sooner.
01:10:09What happened?
01:10:12You in a fight?
01:10:13Yeah.
01:10:16Dylan was bragging about what he said to you the night at the party.
01:10:19Needless to say, he's not my business partner anymore.
01:10:22I'm sorry.
01:10:23Why?
01:10:25Because he was your friend.
01:10:26He was never my friend.
01:10:29He just saw me as a cash cow.
01:10:32Typical.
01:10:35So listen, I'm going to be in L.A. full time.
01:10:38And I'm looking for a possible investment opportunity.
01:10:43I heard there was this hotshot photographer looking for a studio space.
01:10:46Just needs a little bit of seed money to get started.
01:10:48Have you not been listening to anything I said?
01:10:51You can't buy my forgiveness.
01:10:53I'm not buying your forgiveness.
01:10:55And this is not a handout.
01:10:57It's a legitimate business opportunity.
01:10:59And I expect you to operate like a business.
01:11:02Quarterly reports.
01:11:03And me.
01:11:04Being involved in the day-to-day operations.
01:11:09What do you say?
01:11:13Okay.
01:11:15Okay.
01:11:18Zoe.
01:11:19We're celebrating.
01:11:20Bring out your best champagne.
01:11:21Sorry, did you guys call for me?
01:11:24I can't hear anything when I'm back there.
01:11:25Just bring us the good stuff.
01:11:42I believe in you.
01:11:43You can do anything.
01:11:47You're good enough to do anything.
01:12:00Aren't you guys still step-siblings?
01:12:03Yeah, about that.
01:12:04Our parents are getting a divorce.
01:12:07What?
01:12:07My dad decided he wanted out.
01:12:11He's not a very great man.
01:12:13I'm sorry.
01:12:15It's totally fine.
01:12:17Honestly, my mom's not that great either.
01:12:19Oh, what a shame.
01:12:22You were such a good couple.
01:12:23No, don't even joke like that.
01:12:26You were still my step-brother.
01:12:28Hmm.
01:12:30But I fell for you before that.
01:12:32So did I.
01:12:33Hmm.
01:12:33Hmm.
01:12:33Hmm.
01:12:35Hmm.
01:12:35Hmm.
01:12:35Hmm.
01:12:35Hmm.
01:12:36Hmm.
01:12:36Hmm.
01:12:36Hmm.
01:12:37Hmm.
01:12:37Hmm.
