00:00I just need to sign these reports.
00:03This is it. My ticket to freedom.
00:05I'm not getting a divorce.
00:08Who is that?
00:11So she used to date Desmond Valmont?
00:13Oh my god, that's Damien Crowley.
00:15Mortal enemies with Desmond.
00:18Beatrice, why are you keeping secrets from me?
00:21Evelyn, we're already divorced.
00:23We're not done.
00:25When the hell is my wife?
00:26She's not your wife anymore.
00:29We're done.
00:30Desmond, you betrayed our marriage.
00:33There's no going back.
00:34It's time to move on.
00:38Beatrice, please.
00:40I love you.
00:52I've been waiting for 15 minutes already.
00:56I mean, you probably can't be too far.
00:58You've reached Desmond Valmont.
01:02Leave a message.

01:44the last minute business trips the late nights the smell of a stranger's perfume clinging to
01:51his shirt when he thought i wouldn't notice his mom warned me he would cheat and never stay
01:58faithful she said but i didn't want to believe her it was on a rainy night just like this one

04:25sleeping with a married man very classy
04:28don't you get sarcastic with me beatrice
04:31i encouraged him to stay silent about the marriage
04:34the fairfax family would be ashamed if they knew he was married to someone with
04:38your lowly background
04:40so
04:42you will get a divorce from desmond
04:45you will stay quiet about the marriage
04:47and then i don't want to see you around desmond

18:17who's the new team lead
18:19theatress
18:30He left us.
18:37There.
18:38Now we can finally have some taste in the office.
18:41I know all about girls like you.
18:44You sleepy right at the top.
18:46And then think you'll snag a billionaire husband.
18:49But you're just a plaything.
18:51No respect when they ever marry someone like you.
18:54Well, and you think you're so much better because you have my sloppy seconds?
19:00Keep it.
19:04Think of it as a parting gift.
19:06You bitch!
19:07You made my nose bleed!
19:13She is definitely going to drown us from work now.
19:16But seeing her run off like that definitely made it worth it.
19:19You guys don't be afraid to quit if she makes your life hell.
19:22There are plenty of other jobs out there.
19:23Trust me.
19:24Oh, did you find one yet?
19:26I heard Damien Crowley is looking for a new assistant.
19:29If you're interested.
19:31He just flew in from Europe, so he's been over there for ten years.
19:33Neil, she's a project director.
19:35She can't just drop down to be someone's secretary.
19:39And not to mention, Damien Crowley is like mortal enemies with Desmond.
19:43Why do you think our boss has been so stressed lately?
19:45It's because Damien Crowley is in town.
19:47Yeah, being a secretary would be a major demotion, but Damien is Desmond's biggest competitor.
19:54It'd be good to make my own business connections instead of only dealing with Desmond's.
19:58You know what?
19:59It's actually a great idea.
20:01I'll think about it.
20:02Uh, Mr. Belmont's in a meeting.
20:11Uh, you...
20:13Look what she did.
20:16Wow.
20:17Isn't this a productive meeting?
20:21How dare you show your face here?
20:24Desmond?
20:25I want you to punish her.
20:29Beatrice, why'd you hit Madeline?
20:30I didn't.
20:33She threw something at me and I tossed it.
20:36You liar, you totally...
20:38Madeline, that's enough.
20:40Can you leave Beatrice and I alone?
20:42I'd like to speak to her in private.
20:45I am telling my brother about this.
20:52Her family is a very important business partner of mine.
20:56You shouldn't have done that.
20:59It won't happen again.
21:00My resignation.
21:11My mother never calls you.
21:13Why is she calling me now?
21:18Crap.
21:19She's going to talk about the divorce agreement.
21:21I don't know.
21:21Maybe she couldn't get a hold of you.
21:27Beatrice, I'm ready to talk next steps about our agreement.
21:32Mother, what agreement do you have with my wife?
21:36Son, I did not know that you two were together.
21:42What agreement are you talking about?
21:44Desmond, please.
21:45I, it's, uh, it's, um, uh...
21:49The post-nuptial agreement.
21:53For what?
21:54For us?
21:56Yeah.
21:56Yeah, your mom made me sign it a while ago.
21:58So I didn't, uh, deplete your assets?
22:01Yes, exactly.
22:02You are entitled to your full inheritance, Desmond.
22:05I just wanted to make sure it was protected.
22:07Mother, I don't need your involvement in this.
22:10Beatrice is my wife.
22:11We don't need a post-nuptial agreement.
22:13I want it canceled.
22:20You're already divorced, Desmond.
22:23Canceling the post-nuptial agreement won't make any difference at all.
22:27My phone?
22:28Please.
22:32I'm going home.
22:36Beatrice.
22:37I feel like you're hiding something from me.
22:45I'm not, I'm not hiding anything.
22:48You're tired.
22:50Get some rest.
22:51See you later.
22:56Roland?
22:57Sir?
22:59I need you to keep an eye on Beatrice and my mother.
23:03I feel like something's going on.
23:07Hello?
23:13Autumn, I'm alone.
23:14What next steps did you want to talk about?
23:16I want us to sign a written contract in person.
23:20One that's more legally binding.
23:22I'll call you with more details about it next week.
23:24Fine.
23:26But the 50 million needs to be in there.
23:27That needs to be in writing as well.
23:29Okay?
23:31This might be an extra step.
23:32But once I sign this agreement, I'll finally be done with this marriage.
23:46Did Desmond accept your resignation?
23:49Yeah.
23:50Yeah, he did.
23:51It's finally done.
23:53Now we can focus on planning our trip to Paris that we've been dreaming about?
23:57Yes.
23:58I'm going to look at flights right now.
23:59Okay.
24:02Hmm.
24:03Maybe I should look into that secretary job before making any travel plans.
24:07Violet?
24:09Since you know just everybody in the city, have you heard of this new guy, Damien Crowley?
24:14Of course.
24:16It's Damien fucking Crowley for crying out loud.
24:20Actually, funny story.
24:25Damien's company hires Scott's law firm for a case, so I see him around all the time.
24:29Why?
24:31Wait.
24:32Are you interested in him?
24:35Aren't you afraid Desmond will be jealous?
24:39Desmond's jealousy is his problem.
24:43Not mine.
24:44Besides, this is strictly for work.
24:46I do not need another man in my life.
24:49Okay.
24:50Lucky for you, Scott and Damien are golfing tomorrow.
24:54Let's join, so you two can meet.
25:08Beatrice said she was going home.
25:10So why isn't she here?
25:12Where is she?
25:17Uh, sir, she went to an apartment complex on Main Street.
25:19Looks like she rented an apartment there.
25:21The building is owned by the CEO of the Noble Quest, group Damien Crowley.
25:24He lives in the penthouse there.
25:25Beaches, why are you keeping secrets from me?
25:39I think there's two seconds in my other outfit.
25:41Uh, absolutely not.
25:43It made me look like a grandma.
25:45This shows off your figure so much more.
25:47Damien won't be able to resist you.
25:49Okay, but I'm not trying to seduce him.
25:51I'm trying to work for him.
25:52This isn't a good idea.
25:53I think...
25:53Oh, well, it's too late for that.
25:55There he is.
25:56Come on, let's go.
26:12That's Damien Crowley?
26:15The guy's in the car accident?
26:17Oh, shit, Scott.
26:19Who's that next to your wife?
26:21She's got a rockin' hot body.
26:23That's Beatrice.
26:23She's been my wife's bestie since high school.
26:26Who's she getting y'all dressed up for?
26:28Hi, honey.
26:30Damien, I'd like to introduce you to Beatrice Lawson.
26:34She was a project director at Summit Group.
26:36Nice to meet you, Mr. Crowley.
26:39What are you doing here?
26:40This is about the suit jacket.
26:41You can forget about it.
26:43Suit jacket?
26:44Wait, do they know each other?
26:45No, she wanted to meet him.
26:47It's not about the jacket.
26:48Although I do still want to return that.
26:50I'm actually here because I heard you're hiring a new secretary.
26:54I'd like to apply.
26:55Oh, she dressed up for me.
26:57I knew it.
26:59I see.
27:00You know, my secretary job's very tough.
27:03Are you sure you can handle it?
27:05I can assure you, Mr. Crowley, I will give this job my 100%.
27:08I can handle any task you throw my way.
27:10Really?
27:11Mm-hmm.
27:11You can't tell by the way you dressed.
27:15You know, if you really want the secretary job, you should approach me, right?
27:18You shouldn't look this pretty in front of everyone.
27:21Jerk.
27:22I see.
27:23Thank you, Mr. Crowley, for your time.
27:28Wait, I...
27:30Wow, you are such a prick.
27:32Beatrice is one of the most competent people I know, and she'd be taking a major demotion to be your secretary.
27:41Don't write her off just because she wore workout clothes to a golf meeting.
27:45You know, she was in a suit when we got here, and I told her to change because this was supposed to be a fun outing.
27:50And you ruined it.
27:52I'll see you at home.
27:53But I'm starting to think who you're hanging out with is rubbing off on you.
27:59Greg, thanks a lot, Damien.
28:01We're going to hear about this all night.
28:02Violet begged me to join you so you could meet Beatrice.
28:05She just left the Summit group yesterday.
28:08Why?
28:08No clue.
28:09She's the best project director they had.
28:11Closed eight out of the 12 are the company's multi-million dollar deals.
28:15Well, why doesn't she just continue working on them?
28:17Between us, Beatrice and the Summit CEO used to date.
28:22The word on the street is he's going to marry Madeline Fairfax now.
28:27I don't think Beatrice wants to work for a company that associates with him at all.
28:30So she used to date Desmond Balmain.
28:36Interesting.
28:40Desmond, I want you to explain exactly what happened with my sister at your company.
28:44She got injured and you didn't do anything about it?
28:47She's okay.
28:49What exactly did you want me to do?
28:51They didn't even make Beatrice apologize to me.
28:53Desmond.
28:56Come on, my nose.
28:57It still hurts from yesterday.
28:59And not only that, but that bitch publicly humiliated my sister.
29:02How do you expect her to run a team?
29:04This looked bad on you, too.
29:07You sure that actually happened?
29:10You didn't do anything to the provoker.
29:13No, no, of course I didn't.
29:15No.
29:15She insulted me in front of everybody out of nowhere.
29:19It was completely uncalled for.
29:20You know how much I hate buyers.
29:23Madeline.
29:24Why are you still on her side?
29:25Okay, well, fine.
29:26If she doesn't want to return and formally apologize to me, then you need to fire her team.
29:30Agreed.
29:31We can't have Madeline's employees think they could just walk all over her.
29:34Her team is going nowhere.
29:36Beatrice was one of our best project directors here.
29:41And that team was a part of it.
29:44If Madeline can't handle the job, then she can just quit.
29:47And I'll hire someone that can.
29:49Okay, I see what this is now.
29:53Listen, if you haven't completely moved on from her, I'm going to have no choice but to cancel this partnership, Mr. Belmont.
30:01Cancel our partnership.
30:03I'll see you in court.
30:04Do you understand?
30:06You don't want to piss me off, Quincy.
30:08When I'm done here, I have more important business to handle.
30:26Don't think you've won, Beatrice.
30:28I'll be getting my revenge.
30:30I'm sorry again about earlier.
30:33I didn't realize Damien was so stuck up.
30:35That's fine.
30:36Now we can focus on planning our trip.
30:39I honestly have no idea.
30:41It's fair.
30:4442L.
30:47Gordon just texted me Damien's suit size.
30:50That's great.
30:51I mean, maybe that means he's changed his mind and wants to talk about the job.
30:55I'm just going to give him his jacket back and forget about the job completely.
30:58So I'm going to go ahead and text him back, figure out where he wants to meet.
31:01Okay, I'll talk to you later.
31:02Mr. Crowley will be at the Rowe Hotel this weekend for a client conference.
31:09You can deliver the jacket to us then.
31:12Hmm.
31:12I do have to meet Autumn at the hotel to discuss my divorce agreement anyways.
31:17At least this way I can kill two birds with one stone.
31:23Coming!
31:24Coming!
31:24Coming!
31:24You said that you were coming home last night.
31:49But you didn't.
31:50And clearly, your stuff is not at the cleaners.
31:55What are you doing here, Desmond?
32:00Why'd you move out?
32:02And why'd you lie about it?
32:04The apartment that we lived in is yours.
32:07With the post-muff your mom made me sign, I have no claim to it.
32:10So I moved out so I could have my own space, okay?
32:12Now that post-muff, it's being canceled.
32:15If you wanted your own apartment, you could have asked me.
32:17I would have gone.
32:18We could have looked for it together.
32:19I would have bought it for you.
32:21That is not the point, Desmond.
32:23We're married Beatrice.
32:25I don't understand why you're keeping all these secrets from me.
32:28Are you keeping secrets me?
32:35You've been seeing Madeline for months now.
32:38Everyone knows you plan to marry her.
32:39And yet you have the nerve to accuse me of keeping secrets.
32:44I don't know what you're thinking.
32:46But you're wrong.
32:59I want you to come home with me.
33:02You can trust me.
33:03I don't know that I can.
33:11I noticed you weren't wearing yours.
33:16You were due for an upgrade anyway.
33:17Yeah.
33:21Man.
33:26We're done now.
33:29I'd like some time alone.
33:32Okay.
33:33But I will be at home.
33:39One way or another.
33:50You can't buy real love, Desmond.
33:53You haven't touched your coffee.
34:05It's not poison, if that's what you're worried about.
34:09Not thirsty.
34:10Poison is tacky, Beatrice.
34:12Hmm.
34:13Not that you could be expected to know that with your background.
34:16Can we just skip the small talk, please?
34:20We don't like each other.
34:21That's okay.
34:21Let's just move on.
34:25Here is the legal agreement.
34:28Your breakup fee of $50 million is in there.
34:33Sign it.
34:35A breakup fee?
34:36Why is she suddenly saying breakup fee?
34:39And this document is awfully long.
34:42There are so many sections.
34:44You have a lot of weird clauses about payment.
34:46She must be up to something.
34:48I don't have all day, Beatrice.
34:52Okay.
34:52Um, I'm just going to need to check this with my lawyer.
34:55So I'm going to go give her a call right now.
34:58Fine.
34:59Mm-hmm.
34:59Did you hear that?
35:05She's calling her lawyer.
35:07I heard.
35:08Don't worry.
35:09That agreement is foolproof.
35:10So you can get me out of this, darling, yes?
35:12I won't have to pay a thing.
35:14I'm positive.
35:15The Belmont family will never be extorted by Beatrice Austin again.
35:18Trust me.
35:21Beatrice, you won't be the same when you leave the hotel today.
35:24That is if you leave at all.
35:25Sir, Beatrice has gone to the Rowe Hotel to meet with your mother.
35:33Why the hell would she do that?
35:35Get the car ready.
35:36We're going there now.
35:37Yes, sir.
35:38I knew there was something wrong with this document.
35:41I'd have to be crazy to sign that.
35:42Okay, it's clear I'm the only one who's serious about my payment.
35:48Let me check if Damien's available now to receive the jacket.
35:54Miss.
35:55Do you need any help with your belongings?
35:58Uh, no.
36:00No, I'm good.
36:01Thanks.
36:12Mr. Crowley, if I may ask, why do you insist on picking up the jacket directly from Miss Lawson?
36:19Um, it's because it's an expensive jacket.
36:25And you're a billionaire.
36:32Curious?
36:33Miss Lawson just sent me a half-written message.
36:36Miss Lawson just sent me a half-written message.
36:40I'm at the hotel.
36:41Where should we...
36:42She got interrupted.
36:46See, something's not right.
36:48Let's go.
36:48But I'm Belmont Reserve, the meeting room on this floor.
36:58This is Beatrice's stuff.
36:59She wouldn't just leave them sprawled out in the middle of the hallway.
37:03What are you up to?
37:06Something's off.
37:08Search all the rooms.
37:09Oh, she's awake.
37:18Hey, sweetheart.
37:20You like your new jewelry?
37:21I wouldn't do that.
37:26But not one pouch.
37:28We've been paid a lot of money for this job.
37:30Someone must really hate you, huh?
37:33Turn on the camera.
37:36Stop.
37:37They said we can do whatever we wanted to.
37:41As long as we scared you senseless.
37:43You know what?
37:45I think we should play Russian roulette.
37:51She's got to be in one of these rooms.
38:03Beatrice!
38:05Keep looking.
38:08You said you saw a bellhop.
38:10Help her into a room.
38:11Yes, about 20 minutes ago.
38:15It's going to be fun.
38:21Where's Beatrice?
38:38Is she injured?
38:42I'm not sure.
38:43It looks like they drugged her with something.
38:44I don't know.
38:47Take them out of here.
38:49Figure out who did this.
38:50Beat them out of them if you have to.
38:51You're okay now.
38:58You better keep this between us.
38:59Otherwise, you can kiss the partnership between me and your hotel.
39:01Goodbye.
39:02Of course, Mr. Crowley.
39:06I'm going to take you to the hospital.
39:16It's going to be all right.
39:19Chris?
39:20How should I know?
39:21Well, she came here to meet you.
39:23I figured to cancel the post-nuptial agreement?
39:26Yes.
39:26And I gave her the cancellation contract, and then she just disappeared.
39:31You know, Desmond, I don't think it's wise to cancel an agreement that's protecting your assets.
39:38Your opinion means nothing to me, Mother.
39:40This is the Belmont family name at stake.
39:43Of course, my opinion matters.
39:46Desmond, please.
39:48Just think about marrying Madeline Fairfax.
39:53I'm not marrying Madeline.
39:55She's just entertainment.
39:57And her family still has some use to me.
40:00What if Beatrice finds out about your affair?
40:05Then I'll leave Madeline.
40:07I'm not going to end my marriage with someone who just offers me simple pleasures.
40:11Stop trying to get Beatrice to divorce me.
40:15Or else, I'll tell everyone that Beatrice is my wife.
40:22That would ruin our relationship with the Fairfax family.
40:25Fairfax family means no importance to me if it means losing Beatrice.
40:29There are so many other companies out there that I can partner with.
40:33But there's only one Beatrice.
40:35Do you understand?
40:37It's the last time I'm telling you.
40:40I will not stand for this.
40:43Beatrice is not a fit wife, and you will not stay married to her.
40:52If I don't stay married to that woman, I will tell Colin.
40:55I will tell everyone on this staff that you no longer reside on the Belmont Estates.
41:01I'll put you in a fucking retirement home.
41:04Are we clear?
41:06Think about it.
41:09I'm not having this conversation with you again.
41:19You've already signed the divorce, Desmond.
41:22You might not care about my opinion,
41:23but this is happening whether you like it or not.
41:29Her vitals are stable.
41:31The drug was just a sedative, so there is no long-term damages.
41:40Good.
41:41You're awake.
41:43Yeah.
41:45Hi.
41:46You're in the hospital.
41:48Do you remember what happened?
41:49Yeah.
41:52The hotel.
41:55I thought these guys were going to kill me, and you saved me.
41:59I don't know how I could ever save you.
42:00That's not necessary.
42:02You're alive, and that's all that matters.
42:07However, I thought you should know that the armed men said that they were hired by someone
42:11associated with the Belmont family.
42:12I have the records.
42:15Let me know if you want to press charges.
42:17Someone involved with Desmond?
42:21Also, you should come in an interview.
42:24You wanted to be my secretary, right?
42:27Really?
42:27Thank God, Beatrice, you're okay.
42:37Crowley, what are you doing here?
42:39Beatrice and I had a meeting.
42:42I was the one who found her.
42:44Beatrice?
42:45You guys are on a first-name basis?
42:53Here's my number.
42:53Here's my number.
42:57Go ahead and reach out to me directly once you've made your decision.
43:18What happened?
43:20I was attacked.
43:24I'm going to make sure to find him.
43:25I will.
43:26I've already contacted hotel security to get the surveillance footage.
43:29I'm not going to let him get away.
43:32It's funny, because someone close to you hired those men to begin with.
43:39Desmond, wait.
43:40Desmond!
43:41Where are we going?
43:43Home.
43:45Desmond!
43:46Stop!
43:46Stop!
43:56I need you to fire Madeline Fairfax tomorrow.
44:22This whole thing is becoming a hassle.
44:26Understood.
44:30Where's the rest of the footage?
44:32Those guys should have bruised her up pretty badly.
44:34They barely sent anything.
44:36I wonder if they actually killed her.
44:38That would be the best case scenario.
44:40Then I wouldn't have to deal with her annoying antics anymore.
44:43Um, hello?
44:52I don't see any work being done.
44:55It's 1230.
44:57It's lunchtime.
44:58I don't care.
45:00Let's go.
45:00Chop, chop!
45:01You can't force us to work through lunch.
45:03That's illegal.
45:04Yes, I can.
45:05I'm the project manager now, so you have to do what I say.
45:08No, they don't.
45:11Madeline Fairfax, you are no longer employed.
45:13If I send the group, please leave the office immediately.
45:15What are you talking about?
45:17Of course I am.
45:19I replaced Beatrice, so I'm in charge now.
45:23Desmond gave me the job himself.
45:25And now he's taking it away.
45:27You're no longer welcome.
45:28I'm a group property.
45:29Your privilege is a man vote.
45:33It's me?
45:34You can't do that!
45:36Yeah, I can.
45:37Uh, this gentleman will escort you out.
45:40Whatever.
45:40Now that Beatrice is gone,
45:42Madame Belmont can finally announce my engagement to Desmond.
45:45Her charity bank won't be the perfect occasion.
45:48I'll make sure Desmond attends as my date,
45:50so the whole community knows that I am the future Mrs. Belmont.
46:05I can't remember the last time he made me pancakes.
46:08Eat up.
46:09You need to regain your strength.
46:12How are you feeling?
46:13Do I need to call the doctor?
46:15We can get an at-home visit going.
46:17No, I am perfectly fine.
46:20Okay.
46:22Just so you know, I did call off work this entire week.
46:26No way I can be here for you whenever you need me.
46:29What's the point of acting like you're in love with me now?
46:32It's too late, Desmond.
46:35It's okay.
46:36You don't have to do that.
46:37Like I said, I'm fine.
46:38I want to.
46:40I'm your husband.
46:42I care about you.
46:45I was thinking,
46:47maybe
46:48after you were...
46:50you're fine.
46:54I can't do that.
46:57I don't know.
47:06I don't know.
47:11Here we go.
47:12you start trying for a baby
47:29we're both home
47:33I think it would be the perfect time
47:35what do you think?
47:36once upon a time
47:43all I ever wanted
47:44was to have a baby with him
47:46but now
47:46it would be my worst nightmare
47:49I'm not ready for a baby
47:51I'm not
47:52Violet and I were planning a trip to Paris
47:54I want to travel
47:55I want to be alone
47:56for a little while
47:58first
47:59okay
48:02the process takes nine months
48:05we could start now
48:07and then you have all the time in the world
48:09to travel before the baby's born
48:11it's important that the Belmont family has an heir
48:15we could even
48:16get started right now
48:19where were we
48:37why didn't you answer her call
48:41I already told you
48:43I'm not going into work this week

48:53you know I'm uh
48:56I'm getting a headache
48:58I should go lay down
48:59you should make sure your employees
49:01know when you're out of office
49:02Roland already terminated your position
49:13what do you want
49:14Desmond
49:15hi

49:24I left the company like you requested
49:27but
49:27perhaps we could see each other one last time

49:58we're getting engaged
49:58Desmond
49:59this is insane Beatrice
50:04I mean I'm glad you're okay now
50:07but who do you think was behind this
50:09I have my suspicions
50:11okay I can't prove it
50:14but I think it was Madeline Fairfax
50:18Madeline Fairfax
50:20that reminds me
50:22Desmond is supposed to be at
50:24Madame Belmont's charity gala this weekend
50:26yeah
50:26I mean this is mom's gala
50:27I'm sure he'd be there
50:28yes
50:29but
50:30Madame Belmont is planning to announce Desmond's engagement to Madeline Fairfax
50:34I actually think it makes a lot of sense if Madeline is the one behind your attack
50:40she wants to get rid of you once and for all
50:42wait how do you know all of that
50:45she sent invitations to Madeline Fairfax
50:47she sent invitations out

51:42no
