They pretend to be in love for convenience, but fate turns the act into something real.

00:00:00I still can't believe I'm here. I'm watching my ex marry my sister.
00:00:15Logie, you're too sweet. Planning a whole week of celebrations just for our wedding?
00:00:20Only the best for you, baby.
00:00:23I love you. Most people would die to have my perfect life.
00:00:27Bastards, flaunting their betrayal like I mean nothing to them.
00:00:36To my spoiled-ass sister and her backstabbing fiancé.
00:00:42Excuse me.
00:00:43Don't act all innocent, sis.
00:00:47Mine will give you wrinkles.
00:00:50Fiona, calm down, please.
00:00:51And you broke off our engagement to marry my sister and expect me to calm down.
00:01:01Fiona, that's enough.
00:01:04Yeah, Fiona, don't ruin my wedding because you weren't woman enough to keep Logan.
00:01:08Hell, the only reason mom made you CEO is because she feels sorry for you.
00:01:15Go to hell!
00:01:16You just proved I was right to leave you. You're a hot mess.
00:01:26Well, at least you still know I'm hot.
00:01:29Fiona!
00:01:30That behavior is unacceptable of a CEO.
00:01:33I have half a mind to turn the company over to Amelia.
00:01:36You can't do that, mom.
00:01:38Amelia's never worked a day in her life.
00:01:40I can, and I will, unless you can prove to me that you are stable and responsible by bringing a respectable man to the wedding.
00:01:50What?
00:01:55Oh, God.
00:01:59I wish I drank last night.
00:02:02To my spoiled-ass sister and her backstabbing fiancé.
00:02:07Go to hell!
00:02:08Oh, God.
00:02:11What have I done?
00:02:22Fiona!
00:02:23Get it together!
00:02:25Heartwell Industries is a billion-dollar enterprise thanks to you.
00:02:28And there is no way your living mother hand it to Amelia.
00:02:30Stacey, prepare a file on every guy I've ever hung out with.
00:02:39I need it within the hour.
00:02:42Hmm.
00:02:44They want a man?
00:02:45I'll give them a man.
00:02:53Let's do this.
00:02:54Bill Perkins.
00:02:57No.
00:02:59Fred, from college.
00:03:01Never.
00:03:02And Sam, who is now gay.
00:03:04This is hopeless.
00:03:06A respectable guy in a week.
00:03:07You haven't dated anyone in a year.
00:03:10I find that hard to believe.
00:03:13Excuse me?
00:03:14A woman as beautiful as you, and you couldn't be alone for that long.
00:03:22What did they teach you that line in the locker room?
00:03:25Believe it or not, I came up with that on my own.
00:03:29I'm Zachary.
00:03:31Fiona.
00:03:32And I am so screwed.
00:03:47You look anything but screwed.
00:03:49What's going on?
00:03:50I'm the CEO of my mom's company, and I have to find a date to my sister's wedding in a week, or she'll replace me.
00:03:57A week?
00:03:57Plenty of time to find a committed relationship.
00:03:59Ha ha.
00:04:00Very funny.
00:04:02Well, what do I do then?
00:04:03Find a guy and ask him to be my boyfriend for a week?
00:04:06I just so happen to work for a business called The Perfect Company.
00:04:11We offer high-powered women a luxury, customized dating experience.
00:04:17You're an escort.
00:04:19Not quite.
00:04:20Our female clients, they're looking for class, respectability, someone to take to a gala.
00:04:26Not have to worry about a mess-up or a long weekend in the Hamptons without spilling company secrets.
00:04:32Margaritas on the balcony on me.
00:04:38Margaritas on the balcony on me.
00:04:40Vanessa, handle it, please.
00:04:42Yes, miss.
00:04:43Yes, miss.
00:04:45How much would it take to hire you?
00:04:49Hire me?
00:04:50No, I...
00:04:51That's, um...
00:04:52I wasn't suggesting that.
00:04:54That's more complicated than...
00:04:56Really?
00:04:56Yeah.
00:04:57Because you approached me, you started flirting with me,
00:05:00and you pitched me the job.
00:05:05Touché.
00:05:06I did approach you, I did hit on you.
00:05:10I mean, look at you, I'd be stupid not to, but still.
00:05:13Hi, sis.
00:05:20Even though you don't deserve it,
00:05:22no hard feelings about last night,
00:05:24Mom said not to hit you when you're down,
00:05:26and to understand that you're just not blessed like I am.
00:05:29Bye.
00:05:30Come here, baby.
00:05:35I don't have time to find anyone else.
00:05:37Name your price.
00:05:38I told you, I can't.
00:05:41$30,000 and I'll book a hotel room for the week.
00:05:44Deal?
00:05:46You pay me $30,000 to fake date you.
00:05:50Desperate times call for desperate measures.
00:05:54Okay, but I'm going to need a better pet name than desperate measures.
00:06:03But you got yourself a deal.
00:06:05Good.
00:06:06Start right now.
00:06:09Here's round two, miss.
00:06:12Keep them coming.
00:06:13All day.
00:06:14Shit.
00:06:15What the hell?
00:06:16What is it, honey bear?
00:06:18Wow, random bar hookup?
00:06:25My sister is really desperate.
00:06:27Let's get you up to my room.
00:06:29I can't wait any longer.
00:06:31Anything for you?
00:06:32Anything for you?
00:06:44Are you sure he's just some random guy?
00:06:46She was never that passionate with me.
00:06:49Who cares?
00:06:50You're with me now.
00:07:00Is this how you kiss when we're pretending?
00:07:02I might just have to date you for the real deal.
00:07:04You're not so bad yourself.
00:07:05Desperate measures.
00:07:06This isn't actually the best thing I do for my career.
00:07:13Is that so?
00:07:15Show me what you do better.
00:07:17You got it, boss.
00:07:19I told him I wasn't in this for sex and that's the first thing we did.
00:07:38I hope he doesn't think that I planned this all along.
00:07:49Before things go too far, I need to officially hire Zachary.
00:07:57I'll pay whatever it takes to have him for the week.
00:08:00Time to make a deal with their boss.
00:08:02CEO to CEO.
00:08:19I'm sorry, Ms. Hartwell, our CEO is booked solid.
00:08:26I'm sure I can work out whatever deal you need.
00:08:27Look, I'm not just some client, okay?
00:08:30I'm a CEO as well and I need to speak to your company's boss right now.
00:08:33One moment.
00:08:42I tried, but she demands to see you, sir.
00:08:44Ryan, she wants to hire me as an employee at my own company.
00:08:51She can't know that I'm CEO.
00:08:56Of course.
00:08:57I'll get her to leave.
00:08:58I'm done waiting.
00:09:00Zachary?
00:09:01Fiona!
00:09:02What are you doing in the CEO's chair?
00:09:07That's a great question.
00:09:09Ryan, he's CEO's assistant.
00:09:12He's helping him with...
00:09:15Cheers.
00:09:16Cheers.
00:09:17Cheers.
00:09:18Cheers.
00:09:19Yes.
00:09:20I'm trying to find a new one for the CEO's birthday.
00:09:23We have similar assets, you know, and he wanted my opinion.
00:09:27Yeah.
00:09:28Unfortunately, the CEO can't meet with you in person, but I can help.
00:09:32Standard contract, one week, 24-7 upgrade, anything at all.
00:09:36Two separate rooms, I mean, technically been dating six months, we don't need that.
00:09:47I was a little impulsive last night.
00:09:50You will be sleeping alone.
00:09:52I'm just saying it's not gonna look as good.
00:09:55No one's gonna be watching us that closely.
00:09:58And to be honest, after Logan, I'm not sure I'm ready to get that close with a guy.
00:10:05Two separate rooms.
00:10:07Fair enough.
00:10:08You're the boss.
00:10:11Okay.
00:10:14Well, that's done.
00:10:19I'll call you when I need you.
00:10:21Yes.
00:10:26You realized you just signed a contract, one week, 24-7 upgrade, anything at all.
00:10:40Two separate rooms, I mean, technically been dating six months, we don't need that.
00:10:44I was a little impulsive last night.
00:10:47You will be sleeping alone.
00:10:49I'm just saying it's not gonna look as good.
00:10:52No one's gonna be watching us that closely.
00:10:55And to be honest, first century, everyone has a camera and is looking to go.
00:11:00And after Logan, I'm not sure I'm ready to get that close with a guy.
00:11:05Two separate rooms.
00:11:07Fair enough.
00:11:08You're the boss.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:14Well, that's done.
00:11:19I'll call you when I need you.
00:11:21Yes.
00:11:28You realized you just signed a contract.
00:11:30Why?
00:11:31Uh...
00:11:32Contract with her.
00:11:34But you're planning on merging with Hartwell's biggest rival.
00:11:37And she can never know about that, right?
00:11:40What are you doing here, Mother?
00:11:46I hope you're happy.
00:11:47Your drunken tirade made the front page news.
00:11:53Maybe you should be more worried about having a mole in our midst than my actions.
00:11:57Oh, please, Fiona.
00:11:58It's the 21st century.
00:12:00Everyone has a camera and is looking to go...
00:12:02Everyone go viral these days.
00:12:07Well, whatever.
00:12:08It doesn't matter anymore.
00:12:10I fixed it.
00:12:11Is that so?
00:12:12Well, Amelia tells me that she and Logan saw you with the one night stand last night.
00:12:19Is that fixing things?
00:12:22He wasn't just some rando.
00:12:24He's my boyfriend.
00:12:25Zachary.
00:12:26Why didn't you say something?
00:12:29I've never heard of him before.
00:12:31You didn't give me a chance to.
00:12:33Well, bring him to brunch today.
00:12:36Very familiar.
00:12:37Oh, believe me.
00:12:39Why?
00:12:40Uh...
00:12:42What's the rush?
00:12:43Well, I need to see if he's worthy of our family, of course.
00:12:48Of course.
00:12:52For your sake, I hope he is.
00:13:08Get here now.
00:13:09I don't remember any New York...
00:13:12You're on.
00:13:17Everyone, this is my boyfriend, Zachary.
00:13:22She introduces us.
00:13:24About time.
00:13:26Hello, Zachary.
00:13:27Hi.
00:13:28Is he about to die?
00:13:29What?
00:13:30No, what?
00:13:31Why else would you be dating him?
00:13:32He's gorgeous.
00:13:36You must be Amelia.
00:13:38I've heard all about you.
00:13:40And Moira.
00:13:44What's wrong, Fi?
00:13:45I'm charmed to meet someone of your esteem.
00:13:48Have we met before?
00:13:50You look very familiar.
00:13:52Oh, believe me.
00:13:54I would have remembered meeting someone as elegant as you.
00:13:59He's...
00:14:01Not terrible.
00:14:04Logan.
00:14:05You're a lucky man.
00:14:06A man.
00:14:10A man makes his own luck.
00:14:12Aim.
00:14:14Men have such fragile egos.
00:14:17You're in love.
00:14:19Miracles do happen.
00:14:20Well, Fiona's never been romantic.
00:14:21Maybe she just hasn't met the right partner to bring that out of her.
00:14:24Just like me and Logan.
00:14:34Logan!
00:14:39Pay attention to me.
00:14:41Right.
00:14:43Whatever you say.
00:14:49Shit, it's work.
00:14:51I'm so sorry.
00:14:52I have to take this.
00:14:54Zach.
00:14:56How rude.
00:14:58Leaving in the middle of meeting his girlfriend's family?
00:15:05I'll go bring your man back.
00:15:12Emergency call about the potential merger.
00:15:14They need to speak to you.
00:15:16Just say the CEO is out of contact.
00:15:18You have to come into the office.
00:15:20Put him on the phone with me.
00:15:21Now.
00:15:22Look.
00:15:24I know how vital this merger is for both of our business success.
00:15:31And that's why the CEO put Ryan in charge.
00:15:35He has carte blanche.
00:15:37He is the CEO's assistant.
00:15:38He will assist.
00:15:43God.
00:15:44Employee's work never ends.
00:15:45And what kind of work is that?
00:15:46Exactly.
00:15:47Oh.
00:15:48Such a lovely day.
00:15:52Why talk business?
00:15:53Why talk business?
00:16:03I have something off about you, Zachary.
00:16:05I'm gonna find out exactly what.
00:16:08I don't want.
00:16:09I don't want.
00:16:11Oh.
00:16:12He's back.
00:16:13It's time to interrogate you, Zachary.
00:16:15You made a good first impression, Zachary.
00:16:16Now it's time to find out who you really are deep down.
00:16:28Yeah.
00:16:29Um.
00:16:30Ask away.
00:16:31I have no secrets.
00:16:32Tell me how the two of you met.
00:16:35That's a boring story.
00:16:41Then you won't mind leaving us while he tells it.
00:16:45What?
00:16:46Come back in 30 minutes.
00:16:48Why?
00:16:49Go.
00:16:51Goodbye, Fiona.
00:16:54Okay.
00:16:56Start at the beginning.
00:17:01Ah.
00:17:02She's back.
00:17:03Have a seat.
00:17:04It's your turn, Fiona.
00:17:06How'd you two meet?
00:17:08Shit.
00:17:09We never discussed getting our story straight.
00:17:12We met at the conference.
00:17:16I was single and didn't think I had time to date.
00:17:21But, uh, Zachary reminded me that CEOs never give up.
00:17:27And I agreed and asked him out on a date the next night.
00:17:31He said yes, and the rest is history.
00:17:34That's a lovely story.
00:17:36One for the romance books.
00:17:37Too bad it's nothing like the one he told me.
00:17:45You think I'm lying?
00:17:47Oh, stop it, Maura.
00:17:49It's the same thing.
00:17:50I just told you in simpler terms.
00:17:54Perhaps.
00:17:56I said that we met at a bar.
00:17:59She was smart.
00:18:01And sexy.
00:18:03I knew from the moment I saw her that I had to find a way to get this girl to go out with me.
00:18:09So I did what I had to do to make that happen.
00:18:11That's a very Zachary way of saying it.
00:18:15Yeah.
00:18:17The Fiona version's much better.
00:18:20Now I see it.
00:18:21I didn't see any true feelings until just now.
00:18:30I'm, uh, glad we passed your little love test, Mom.
00:18:34Although I don't remember Amelia and Logan getting one, even though he was my ex-fiancee.
00:18:38There's no sense in dwelling on the past, Fiona.
00:18:41Are we done here?
00:18:42Yes, we're done.
00:18:44But, Fiona, the next time something important happens in your life, tell me.
00:18:50Or you'll regret it.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:55I think she bought it.
00:18:56Well, I'm good with matriarch.
00:18:57Okay, she's still watching us like a hawk.
00:18:59So, there's...
00:19:01Well, I better love you so publicly, no one will over doubt us.
00:19:05What are you doing?
00:19:13If we dance, then everyone will believe we're in love.
00:19:17But...
00:19:18No one's watching.
00:19:20Practice makes perfect, right?
00:19:23Or...
00:19:24I could go romantic like this.
00:19:37Yeah, that was...
00:19:40Good.
00:19:41I better go get ready for tonight.
00:19:57You wanna know why I left you?
00:20:00Let's chat.
00:20:05I know exactly why you left me, Logan.
00:20:11You missed brunch.
00:20:15Again.
00:20:17I told you.
00:20:18The launch is next week.
00:20:19I don't have time to...
00:20:20You never have time.
00:20:22For me.
00:20:23For us.
00:20:24You treat me like a stranger when it comes to your work.
00:20:26You don't get it.
00:20:28This company, my mother...
00:20:30I have to succeed.
00:20:31You just waltz in here and act like...
00:20:33I want to be involved.
00:20:34Let me help.
00:20:35You don't understand that I need to do this on my own.
00:20:39You never have.
00:20:44How the hell am I supposed to take over Hartwell when that bitch keeps freezing me out?
00:20:48ümümission.
00:20:54Rough day.
00:20:56Rough day.
00:20:58You know, I'd always make time for a man like you.
00:21:01Fiona doesn't have a priorities straight.
00:21:03straight. I promise. I'm way more fun than my boring sister.
00:21:10Hmm. Amelia's nice and easy. Maybe I can still get what I want with her.
00:21:17Then why don't you show me a little fun right now?
00:21:33The scent of my perfume hadn't even left the room yet and you were already shacking up with my
00:21:44sister. Come on, Fiona. That's not what happened. That's exactly what happened. And look, a couple
00:21:49months later, you're already proposing to her with the engagement ring you got for me. Why would I
00:21:53let a perfectly good ring go to waste? Logan, why exactly are you here? What exactly is going on
00:21:59between you and Zachary? I know you are not in a relationship. I know you. You don't know me.
00:22:05If you did, you would have never left me for my sister. I still care about you, V. I always will.
00:22:15Yeah, well, don't. Because you're my sister's fiance. And unlike her, I don't want my sister's
00:22:19sloppy seconds. There's no need to be cruel. Get out, Logan.
00:22:23My plans are in jeopardy. I've waited four years to try to marry a Hartwell and steal their
00:22:35company. I'm not going to let my plans be foiled just because Fiona found herself some boyfriend.
00:22:43It'll still happen. Just you wait. They all deserve to lose everything after treating us
00:22:49both like trash. We're so close.
00:22:55Is there anything I could do, baby?
00:23:00Bring Moira to me. I already convinced her to take the company from Fiona. Now I just need
00:23:07to make her doubt this relationship.
00:23:14And find whatever dirt you can on Zachary.
00:23:18Here she is, sir.
00:23:28You may go. Moira, please, come on in. Have a seat.
00:23:31This better be good.
00:23:33It will be.
00:23:35What do you need?
00:23:36Don't you find Fiona's new boyfriend a little odd? He shows up out of nowhere the day after
00:23:42you issue your ultimatum.
00:23:43Hmm. I think he's being sincere.
00:23:47What do we really know about him? Does he treat her right? What are his intentions with
00:23:52her?
00:23:53If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're jealous.
00:23:57Oh, no, no. Moira, I assure you I'm very much in love with Amelia.
00:24:07I'm just worried that Zachary might be using Fiona. I don't know anything about him. I just
00:24:15don't want your family to get scammed by some con man. That's all.
00:24:21I'm listening.
00:24:24I'm not saying that Fiona's lying. I just think we need to be sure before you let her stay
00:24:30on the CEO.
00:24:31Hmm. What do you have in mind?
00:24:34Let's see how well their little charade holds up under pressure.
00:24:37The merger with Farron Industries isn't really finalized.
00:24:45But it's getting complicated.
00:24:47Because Farron's is Hartwell's direct competition.
00:24:50And now I'm fake dating Fiona Hartwell.
00:24:53It's messy.
00:24:55I still can't believe she hasn't figured out that you're the CEO of Perfect Company.
00:24:59Let's hope it stays that way.
00:25:00I'm surprised the CEO of Perfect Company hasn't reached out yet.
00:25:11He'd want to talk CEO to CEO.
00:25:14Maybe work out a referral program or something.
00:25:18Let's see who this guy is.
00:25:21Hey, what's up?
00:25:23Nothing. I was just looking up the contact info for the CEO of Perfect Company.
00:25:26Thought I might reach out.
00:25:27Really? Why?
00:25:29I'm not good enough for you?
00:25:32All right.
00:25:35That's not it.
00:25:37Oh, my God.
00:25:42Fiona, I can explain.
00:25:44Amelia just texted me.
00:25:45We're playing Right Answer tonight at dinner.
00:25:47I have to answer questions about you.
00:25:49It's no problem.
00:25:51Right? You just have to learn every fact about me the next 20 minutes.
00:25:56No, no, no.
00:25:56You don't understand.
00:25:57I am terrible at tests.
00:25:59I mean, I freeze.
00:26:00I say the wrong thing.
00:26:01I never know what's coming next.
00:26:02I...
00:26:02Better.
00:26:08You've got to stop doing this.
00:26:10I hired you to be my boyfriend, not my sex toy.
00:26:13You said 24-7 anything at all, so...
00:26:16Yeah, well, right now, right now, your task is to tell me everything I need to know about you.
00:26:22Are you ready?
00:26:26Yep.
00:26:26I have nothing to hide.
00:26:27Are you ready to do this?
00:26:41I'm born ready.
00:26:43Okay.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:51What was that for?
00:26:53It just looked too good.
00:26:56I couldn't help myself.
00:26:57All right, all right, enough with the PDA.
00:27:01It's time for what's important.
00:27:03My wedding game.
00:27:04Vanessa, we'll read the questions, and you two have to guess what your men will say.
00:27:19First question.
00:27:20What is your partner's favorite food?
00:27:27You can pass if it's too hard.
00:27:28I know the answer.
00:27:31Spaghetti and meatballs.
00:27:32Mm-hmm.
00:27:39Swordfish.
00:27:44Yep.
00:27:46Swordfish.
00:27:48Show us your answer.
00:27:57Well, of course.
00:27:58You didn't know.
00:28:01Second question.
00:28:04Where does your partner like to be kissed?
00:28:16My sensitive spot.
00:28:17My lips.
00:28:30Yon is a fantastic kisser.
00:28:39Okay, last question.
00:28:41What is your partner's middle name?
00:28:47I'm done playing this game.
00:29:03This is ridiculous.
00:29:04No, what's ridiculous is the fact that you're pretending this man is your boyfriend.
00:29:07You've been dating for six months.
00:29:09You don't know his middle name.
00:29:10Are you lying, Fiona Hartwell?
00:29:15Hey, Logan.
00:29:16Since we're talking about relationships, what's Fiona's middle name?
00:29:21Why is that important?
00:29:22If he dated for three years, I think he should know.
00:29:28It's, um...
00:29:29Elizabeth.
00:29:35Logan, it's done.
00:29:36We're not talking about me.
00:29:38We're talking about the fact that Fiona lied to try to save her job.
00:29:41From where I'm standing, no lies we're told.
00:29:45Sweetheart, that's my middle name.
00:29:57It's David.
00:30:00Maura?
00:30:03That's right.
00:30:06Whatever.
00:30:07I need a drink.
00:30:08Honey, wait for me!
00:30:10Honey, I'm sorry.
00:30:16I didn't believe you.
00:30:18Thanks, Mom.
00:30:19Now you can see that we are totally in love.
00:30:22Right, babe?
00:30:30Right.
00:30:31Sure.
00:30:40Mind if I sit for a sec?
00:30:49So you can quiz me again?
00:30:52I'm sorry about yesterday.
00:30:56You accused me of being in a fake relationship.
00:30:59You're so different from the woman I used to be.
00:31:03Well, you broke my heart.
00:31:04So, of course, I'm going to change.
00:31:08Are you sure he's the right man?
00:31:11What do you mean?
00:31:14Somebody that wants to keep a relationship a secret obviously has something to hide.
00:31:19I'm just worried he might be playing you.
00:31:22You'd know all about playing people, wouldn't you, Logan?
00:31:24Oh, come on.
00:31:24That's not fair.
00:31:27I just don't want to see you get hurt, Fee.
00:31:29Or worse, cheated on.
00:31:31You mean again?
00:31:34I told you.
00:31:37I still care about you.
00:31:38Yeah, well, stop.
00:31:40You're marrying my sister.
00:31:41I just want you.
00:31:45What?
00:31:48Fiona, what the hell are you doing?
00:31:51Baby, I'm so sorry that you had to see that.
00:31:53She just jumped all over me.
00:31:56I have tried to be nice, Fiona.
00:31:57I've tried to be sweet.
00:31:59But you're trying to steal Logan back.
00:32:00We were talking about Zachary.
00:32:02It's a lie, Fiona.
00:32:03Come on, darling.
00:32:05She's been trying to get me to leave you all week.
00:32:07I can't believe this.
00:32:09It's like you're deliberately trying to ruin my wedding.
00:32:11Oh my God, all this stress is going to break my skin.
00:32:14I didn't do anything.
00:32:19I believe you.
00:32:20Enough.
00:32:21Logan, take Amelia upstairs.
00:32:27Are you determined to ruin your life and my company?
00:32:31It wasn't my fault.
00:32:32When you are the CEO, everything is your fault.
00:32:36Scenes like this ruin a company's reputation and destroy their stock.
00:32:40Look, I am giving you one more chance to fix this.
00:32:46What do you want?
00:32:47If you aren't intent on stealing your ex-fiancee back, then prove it.
00:32:53Get married yourself.
00:32:56Get what?
00:32:57I expect to see either a ring on your finger or a resignation letter.
00:33:02Buy the rehearsal dinner.
00:33:10This week just got a whole lot more expensive, didn't it?
00:33:13Get a last piece of jewelry out of it.
00:33:15I just saw you two on a website, right?
00:33:18You're Amelia Hartwell.
00:33:21I most certainly am not.
00:33:22And you're that guy from Per...
00:33:24Oh, sorry.
00:33:26We just have familiar typefaces.
00:33:30I'm Mark Lane.
00:33:30And this is my fiancée, Desdemona.
00:33:35And you know what?
00:33:36We'd like a ring so big that it looks fake.
00:33:39Oh, I have exactly what you need.
00:33:42Just give me a second.
00:33:47Desdemona?
00:33:48Hey, no, no, no.
00:33:57What do you mean?
00:33:59We're going to give your family a proposal to remember.
00:34:02Hey, thanks for being so understanding.
00:34:09Doing this is easy when it's with you.
00:34:18What was that thing you said earlier?
00:34:31Practice makes perfect.
00:34:33Yeah, you know what?
00:34:34I did say that.
00:34:35Oh!
00:34:48I was just checking.
00:34:54Oh, my...
00:34:55They certainly look like a real couple to me.
00:35:00Mom!
00:35:01I tried to knock.
00:35:03What are you doing here?
00:35:04I'll come back later.
00:35:08I thought...
00:35:08I thought my days of getting busted by parents were over with.
00:35:12Me too.
00:35:14I'm going to go lock the door.
00:35:16You just...
00:35:18Stay.
00:35:38I'm here to fight you.
00:35:41I won't let you take Logan.
00:35:43I don't want Logan.
00:35:45He kissed me.
00:35:46I didn't kiss him.
00:35:47I don't believe you.
00:35:48Stop, Amelia!
00:35:49I'm the popular sister.
00:35:51Not you.
00:35:52Logan's mine.
00:35:53You can't have...
00:35:54Amelia!
00:35:56He's here?
00:35:57Of course he's here.
00:35:59He's my boyfriend.
00:36:00Why wouldn't he be?
00:36:01So you aren't just with him to save your job?
00:36:04Do I look like the kind of person that would stay with somebody to keep their job?
00:36:07Good point.
00:36:10Well, then I'm happy for you.
00:36:11Owen, I'm sorry I don't want you to have to hurt you.
00:36:16Owen, I hope mom thinks you're too old legit.
00:36:18You know how she says.
00:36:20No couple's ever perfect.
00:36:21No couple's ever perfect.
00:36:21We need to fight.
00:36:33You wake me up like that again and we will fight?
00:36:35I'm serious.
00:36:36We need to fight.
00:36:37Because in every real relationship there's stress.
00:36:40Especially in high stakes events like weddings.
00:36:42So you want a fake fight or a fake relationship so your mom won't leave?
00:36:44My mother thinks it's real.
00:36:45Everyone will think it's real.
00:36:46Well, that's crazy.
00:36:48You're crazy.
00:36:52But it just might work.
00:36:55Okay.
00:36:58What about a work call?
00:37:00They've already seen you let business interfere.
00:37:04Thanks for that.
00:37:07So, you prioritize business over me?
00:37:12Oh, this is...
00:37:13Well, I can't help that we're...
00:37:17I'm successful.
00:37:18And I'm not?
00:37:19You...
00:37:20Maybe that's your problem.
00:37:21You spent too much time at work.
00:37:23Well, maybe you don't give me a reason not to.
00:37:27Please.
00:37:28Oh, don't make this about me.
00:37:30Okay?
00:37:31You...
00:37:32You...
00:37:33You can't love anyone.
00:37:37Maybe not.
00:37:39Maybe this whole relationship was a mistake.
00:37:41They're fighting.
00:37:48I'm gonna tell Logan about this.
00:37:52Good morning.
00:37:55Is it...
00:37:56Trouble in paradise.
00:37:59Yeah, well, Zachary is off at work.
00:38:01Again.
00:38:02Well, of course he is.
00:38:04You've been treating him so poorly.
00:38:07What do you mean?
00:38:08Maybe that's your problem, okay?
00:38:11You spend too much time at work.
00:38:12Uh, well, maybe you don't give me a reason not to.
00:38:17Don't make this about me, okay?
00:38:19You can't love anyone.
00:38:20Maybe this whole relationship was a mistake.
00:38:23You were listening at my door?
00:38:25You said your relationship was a mistake?
00:38:29Hey.
00:38:30You're missing the merger meeting.
00:38:33Let me call Fiona.
00:38:35No, you pay me to assist you.
00:38:36Come on, we gotta go.
00:38:40You see, Moira?
00:38:42It's exactly like I told you.
00:38:44The whole relationship is fake.
00:38:46I must admit, something's not adding up about this.
00:38:49Mom, you just walked in on us yesterday.
00:38:53Of course we're in love.
00:38:54Well, then where is he?
00:38:56Let me explain.
00:39:07Where the hell were you?
00:39:08I was at work.
00:39:09We had an emergency meeting.
00:39:10It's fine.
00:39:11You ruined everything.
00:39:12You didn't show up, and the best I could say was that you were out on business.
00:39:15That's exactly what we planned.
00:39:16Yeah, well, we didn't plan for Logan to record our practicing and then use it to say that our relationship is fake.
00:39:22He's obsessed with you.
00:39:23I know, and he's going to ruin everything.
00:39:26Everything's going to be fine.
00:39:27I am so sick of you saying everything's going to be okay.
00:39:30This is my life.
00:39:31You know what?
00:39:32I'm here and out.
00:39:34No more disappearances.
00:39:35No more mistakes.
00:39:36Got it?
00:39:37Got it.
00:39:39Sorry.
00:39:40Good.
00:39:40Good boy.
00:39:58Logan.
00:40:01I didn't do this.
00:40:02These are for you.
00:40:03As are the other items.
00:40:13This is for me?
00:40:17Hello, sweetheart.
00:40:19You miss me?
00:40:20That's so cute.
00:40:30Oh, for God's sake.
00:40:31You tried to ruin my relationship.
00:40:34No.
00:40:36I just told everybody the truth.
00:40:38I love Fiona.
00:40:39I think she's the greatest.
00:40:41And if it weren't for you getting married, I'd punch your lives out.
00:40:44To show you the real truth.
00:40:46For you, I won't ruin his face.
00:40:51Wait, what?
00:40:54If you do that again, I won't be so nice.
00:41:03What's for dinner, baby?
00:41:09Next time, I won't be so nice.
00:41:14I know your secret.
00:41:30Vanessa, what are you doing here?
00:41:31I know your secret.
00:41:33What secret?
00:41:35Zachary, your so-called boyfriend.
00:41:38It's all fake, isn't it?
00:41:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:40Oh, cut the bullshit, Fiona.
00:41:42Watch it, Vanessa.
00:41:42You still work for me and my family.
00:41:45And between the two of us, I'll be the one still left with a job when everyone finds out about you.
00:41:50There's nothing to find out.
00:41:52Oh, there definitely is.
00:41:54You see, I saw Zachary talking to a guy the other night.
00:41:57And that's a crime?
00:41:58I thought he looked familiar.
00:42:00It took me a while to figure it out, but then it hit me.
00:42:02His name is Ryan, and he's someone I once dated.
00:42:06And what does that have to do with me?
00:42:07From perfect company.
00:42:10Then I put two and two together, and I realized that's how you found a new boyfriend so fast.
00:42:17He's an escort.
00:42:18You're mistaken.
00:42:26Judging by the expression on your face, I'm willing to bet a million dollars that I'm not.
00:42:32How do you think your mother would react to the headline that reads,
00:42:35Hartwell CEO hires gigolo?
00:42:37You wouldn't dare.
00:42:38Try me.
00:42:39Why?
00:42:40What's in it for you, Vanessa?
00:42:41Well, the way I see it, you are willing to pay a pretty penny to keep this information under wraps.
00:42:49Am I right?
00:42:50Blackmail?
00:42:51No, not blackmail.
00:42:53Think of it as a business transaction.
00:42:57You pay me to keep my mouth shut and I mind my own business.
00:43:01How much?
00:43:03$100,000.
00:43:04What?
00:43:05You heard me.
00:43:10You heard me.
00:43:11$100,000 or I out your little secret to the world.
00:43:18Fine.
00:43:20I have a deal.
00:43:21I knew you'd see it my way.
00:43:23Enjoy your evening, Fiona.
00:43:25Thanks for the business.
00:43:27I'm really screwed.
00:43:47Knows who I am?
00:43:49As in the CEO?
00:43:51No.
00:43:52Her reaction would be worse if that was the case.
00:43:53The CEO of Ferentz Industries has arrived.
00:43:59It's time to seal this merger.
00:44:07We're in crisis and you were nowhere to be found.
00:44:10I needed you, Zach.
00:44:11I know.
00:44:13Work's been a lot lately.
00:44:15But I'm here now.
00:44:17So, whatever you need...
00:44:18What if Vanessa tells everyone?
00:44:21I'll be ruined.
00:44:22It's in Vanessa's best interest to keep her mouth shut.
00:44:26Okay?
00:44:27Now, we just have to make it through the next couple of days, make it to the wedding.
00:44:30I think we could do that.
00:44:35I don't know.
00:44:38I have an idea.
00:44:40Let's go on a date.
00:44:42Just you and me.
00:44:43No pretending, no audience.
00:44:45A real date.
00:44:47What's that gonna do?
00:44:48I happen to think I'm a pretty funny, romantic date.
00:44:57I just...
00:44:59We could go and...
00:45:02Forget about everything else.
00:45:03What that's going on.
00:45:19Bye.
00:45:21Bye.
00:45:21Bye.
00:45:22Bye.
00:45:22Bye.
00:45:24Bye.
00:45:25Bye.
00:45:25Bye.
00:45:26Bye.
00:45:30Bye.
00:45:31Bye.
00:45:32By...
00:45:33This is starting to not feel so fake anymore.
00:45:46It's never fake for me, Fiona.
00:45:53Well, then maybe after this is over, we should consider dating for real.
00:45:59That's one of the best ideas I heard from you since I met you.
00:46:07But, back to business, I was thinking of proposing during your sister's rehearsal brunch, just to steal a little bit of their thunder.
00:46:17I think that's a great idea.
00:46:19Yeah.
00:46:20Future fiance.
00:46:22I like the sound of that.
00:46:29Oh, this is too good.
00:46:36Hardwell Industries is mine.
00:46:38Thank you all for being here today.
00:46:48I so appreciate your love and support.
00:46:51Tomorrow, I get to marry the love of my life.
00:46:55Ditto.
00:46:56Sorry to interrupt.
00:47:03But I have something to say.
00:47:11Fiona, being with you, even through all the chaos, has been the biggest surprise of my life.
00:47:19And I don't want to pretend anymore.
00:47:21Will you marry me?
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:38Yes.
00:47:40Oh, my God.
00:47:41It's finally happening.
00:47:44Not so fast.
00:47:46This engagement is fake.
00:47:49Oh, not this again.
00:47:56Oh, I assure you, it is true, and this time, I have proof.
00:47:59There's no way she told Logan about this.
00:48:01She wouldn't.
00:48:03Would she?
00:48:04You see, it's come to my attention that our man, Zachary, is not who he pretends to be.
00:48:09This, this engagement, this entire relationship, is a sham.
00:48:16What are you saying, Logan?
00:48:17Ask Fiona where she found her perfect prince, little boyfriend.
00:48:25Ask her about perfect company.
00:48:28Wait.
00:48:36Perfect company?
00:48:37Isn't that the escort service?
00:48:39Very good, sweetheart.
00:48:40That is exactly what it is, and that's where our man, Zachary, comes from.
00:48:44Think about it.
00:48:45He just magically appeared out of thin air when Fiona's job was on the line.
00:48:49A little convenient, don't you think?
00:48:51Fiona, is this true?
00:48:55It's not what it sounds like.
00:48:57Oh, it's exactly what it sounds like, and to make matters worse, she tried to bribe Vanessa to keep her quiet about it.
00:49:03You paid her off to lie for you?
00:49:05What is wrong with you?
00:49:06There must be something utterly wrong with you for you to behave in such a manner.
00:49:11You have manipulated everyone.
00:49:14Your family, the company, the press.
00:49:18All to protect your reputation?
00:49:20I thought I raised you better than this.
00:49:23You can kiss the CEO ship goodbye.
00:49:33And that's not even the worst of it.
00:49:35What could possibly be worse than this?
00:49:37Well, you see, Fiona's perfect prince of a boyfriend just so happens to be the villain of this story.
00:49:44What are you talking about?
00:49:46Zachary not only lied about who he is, but he's been using you for a much bigger play.
00:49:52You're not making any sense.
00:49:54Let me break it down for you, sweetheart.
00:49:56Zachary's not just some employee at Perfect Company.
00:49:58He happens to be the CEO.
00:50:01And last night, he pushed through a merger with Farron's Industries, Hartwell's biggest competition.
00:50:10Is this true?
00:50:11You see, she doesn't even know her own fiancé.
00:50:16She never did.
00:50:19It's true.
00:50:22You don't believe this.
00:50:23Fiona, wait!
00:50:31Fiona, please, just let me explain.
00:50:33Explain what, Zachary?
00:50:35That you're the CEO of a company you swore was just a gig?
00:50:38I never swore anything, okay?
00:50:40I never said I was an escort.
00:50:41But you didn't deny it either!
00:50:43Oh, my God.
00:50:45Oh, my God.
00:50:46This explains everything.
00:50:47You weren't testing our chairs.
00:50:48You're the fucking CEO!
00:50:49Fiona, please.
00:50:50Is this why you approached me at the bar?
00:50:52Is this all part of your master plan?
00:50:54What?
00:50:55No, I didn't know who you were.
00:50:58I had no idea.
00:51:00I approached you because I was attracted to you, okay?
00:51:03That was real.
00:51:04Yeah, well, it doesn't even matter anymore.
00:51:08I lost the company.
00:51:10I lost everything.
00:51:11And clearly, I can't trust you.
00:51:13No, I...
00:51:14It's the rest of the money.
00:51:16Get out!
00:51:18I don't care about the money.
00:51:21I care about you.
00:51:23Somewhere along the way, this became real for me.
00:51:28I'll never believe another word you say.
00:51:30Out.
00:51:57Plans have changed.
00:51:58I needed to set up a meeting.
00:52:00Now.
00:52:05Unbelievable!
00:52:06You've managed to make my wedding week all about you!
00:52:08I didn't ask for this, Amelia.
00:52:10Bullshit!
00:52:12You can't stand not being the center of attention.
00:52:14You get drunk and cause a scene.
00:52:17And lie to everyone about your fake boyfriend.
00:52:19Brive our maid!
00:52:21Cause a public scandal at my rehearsal brunch!
00:52:23Not everything is about you!
00:52:26Oh.
00:52:27I'm sorry.
00:52:28Am I supposed to consider your feelings right now after you ruined my wedding?!
00:52:32I don't think so.
00:52:34Logan was right to leave you.
00:52:38You clearly don't know anything about being in a real relationship.
00:52:41You're insane.
00:52:49Get out!
00:52:50You know what?
00:52:53Our relationship?
00:52:56Over.
00:52:57You're uninvited to the wedding.
00:52:58Don't come.
00:53:00Don't ever look at me again.
00:53:01Finally, everything is going according to the plan.
00:53:30Took long enough.
00:53:31It's about damn time.
00:53:33I'm sick and tired of having to pretend we're not in love.
00:53:36Watching you cozying up to Amelia makes me sick.
00:53:40It's just a little bit longer.
00:53:42Once I marry Amelia, I'll start working on the ownership transfer.
00:53:46Moira's already fired, Fiona.
00:53:47She'll name Amelia's Leo in no time.
00:53:51Just like you'd planned.
00:53:53And then, once I've signed those papers, I'll dump Amelia's dumb ass and you and I can live.
00:54:01And then, too.
00:54:03No secrets.
00:54:05No fake smile.
00:54:08Who's that?
00:54:09You better not be lying to me, Logan.
00:54:12Baby.
00:54:15I'm lying to everyone now.
00:54:18Never.
00:54:18Mom.
00:54:29How could you?
00:54:31What?
00:54:33What the hell was that for?
00:54:35You idiot.
00:54:36You've ruined everything.
00:54:38I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Mom.
00:54:39Then you're even more stupid than I thought.
00:54:42No.
00:54:46No, no, no, no.
00:54:47This can't be.
00:54:49You are a disgrace to this entire family.
00:54:53In the span of a week, you have ruined everything that I've built and worked for my entire life.
00:55:01And all for what?
00:55:02Some expensive living sex toy?
00:55:06Mom, I didn't know.
00:55:07I swear to God, Fiona, if I can't take back my company, I will kill you myself.
00:55:14Logan was right about everything.
00:55:18Actually, Logan can't be trusted.
00:55:23Amelia, you should be getting ready.
00:55:26The wedding's...
00:55:26There's not going to be a wedding.
00:55:28I came here to tell you, Logan can't be trusted.
00:55:32What are you talking about?
00:55:34Last night, I followed him.
00:55:35Something fell off.
00:55:37And I saw him with Vanessa.
00:55:39Laughing.
00:55:40Touching.
00:55:41Kissing.
00:55:42They're in a relationship.
00:55:44Vanessa the maid?
00:55:46That doesn't make any sense.
00:55:49It's crazy.
00:55:50But it's true.
00:55:53And they're plotting to take over Hartwell.
00:55:55Logan thinks he can just charm his way into the company and then dump me once he has control.
00:55:59That's why he was always so obsessed with the company.
00:56:02I mean, that's why he ended things with me.
00:56:03He accused me of freezing him out.
00:56:05But I felt I was the easier target.
00:56:10I'm sorry, sis.
00:56:12You should not let that asshole come between us.
00:56:15Don't worry.
00:56:16We'll give him a taste of his own medicine.
00:56:19Over my dead body will I let that snake take my company from me.
00:56:24So, what do we do?
00:56:27We're Hartwell girls.
00:56:29We strategize and we take him down.
00:56:33Marriage is a lifelong commitment to love, trust, and support each other.
00:56:44Amelia and Logan have decided that their relationship is ready to move forward and willing to declare their intentions to you today.
00:56:53Logan, do you take Amelia to be a lawfully wedded wife?
00:56:56I sure do.
00:56:58Amelia, do you take Logan to be a lawfully wedded husband?
00:57:05I...
00:57:05I don't!
00:57:09What do you mean you don't?
00:57:12Amelia, what the hell is going on here?
00:57:13Once I've signed those papers, I'll dump Amelia's dumb ass.
00:57:24You used me, Logan.
00:57:27You disgust me.
00:57:29Never come near me again!
00:57:33Oh, in case it's not obvious, Vanessa.
00:57:36You're fired.
00:57:38Effective immediately.
00:57:40And we will be pressing charges.
00:57:43Look, you are making a huge mistake.
00:57:47I am the only one who has truly cared about Hartwell Industries.
00:57:50Everything I have done, I have done to protect this company.
00:57:53Is that so?
00:57:55Is that why you tried to take it from me?
00:57:57And when that didn't work, you seduced my sister and tried to take it from her?
00:58:01You sabotaged yourself.
00:58:03It took a little convincing to get Moira to fire you.
00:58:05And quite frankly, I still think that she made the right decision.
00:58:09Well, it's a good thing no one cares what you think, Logan.
00:58:11Your word means shit.
00:58:13You don't really think I'm the villain here.
00:58:15What about this guy?
00:58:20Zachary is the real villain here.
00:58:23I mean, he swooped in and then manipulated Fiona with his seduction and his charm
00:58:29and executed a hostile takeover.
00:58:32If anybody deserves your anger, it's this guy.
00:58:35Things aren't always as they seem, Logan.
00:58:38What are you doing here, Zachary?
00:58:44After everything you did, you took my company.
00:58:46How dare you?
00:58:48I didn't do it to hurt you.
00:58:49Oh, and I'm supposed to believe you?
00:58:50You lied to me about who you are.
00:58:52You lied to me about everything.
00:58:53And on top of that, you blindsided me with a hostile takeover.
00:58:57Let me explain.
00:58:58No, no, no, no, you don't get to spin this like it's something noble.
00:59:01It's called hostile for a reason.
00:59:02Fiona's right.
00:59:03I mean, that's got to be the dumbest thing that I've ever heard.
00:59:06You took over her company to save her?
00:59:09Please.
00:59:10Shut up, Logan.
00:59:11Nobody cares what you have to say.
00:59:13I've been waiting a long time to do this.
00:59:16You bastard!
00:59:30Your theatrics and knight in shining armor routine aren't working on me, Mr. Fox.
00:59:35In fact, I find it rather unbelievable.
00:59:38You want me to think that you bought my company because you love Fiona.
00:59:46I didn't do it out of love.
00:59:48I did it because Fiona deserves that company and you were trying to take it from her.
00:59:54I wasn't going to let that happen.
00:59:56That doesn't mean that I don't have feelings for you, Fiona.
00:59:58I definitely do.
01:00:01Zachary.
01:00:03So what?
01:00:04The board just handed over the company to you?
01:00:08No.
01:00:09Not exactly.
01:00:11Look, I went to the board and I laid everything out.
01:00:14All right?
01:00:14They love what you're doing with the company.
01:00:17They told me they don't want to see you go.
01:00:20They trust you.
01:00:22They believe in everything that you're building.
01:00:24Yeah, well, they still sold it to you.
01:00:27Yes.
01:00:28They did under one condition.
01:00:30That you remain CEO.
01:00:34That was always my intention.
01:00:36I don't want the control.
01:00:38I want to keep people from taking it from you.
01:00:43It's still mine.
01:00:45It always will be.
01:00:46You really are a real-life fairy tale, Russ.
01:00:55Unlike this frog over here.
01:00:59So, do you think we could start over?
01:01:01I don't know.
01:01:05It might be kind of hard.
01:01:07Well, listen.
01:01:08I have on good authority that CEOs, they don't give up so easily.
01:01:13Is that so?
01:01:14Yeah.
01:01:14Well, I'm a CEO and I would never give up on you.
01:01:18I love you, Fiona.
01:01:21What did you just say?
01:01:24I said, I love you.
01:01:26Do you want me to say it a few more times?
01:01:28Or I could say it every day of the week if you want me to.
01:01:30I love you too, Zachary.
01:01:34With my whole heart.
01:01:36Oh, my God.
01:01:38You two are disgustingly adorable.
01:01:41I just had an idea.
01:01:45We should have a wedding right here, right now.
01:01:48What?
01:01:53Amelia, that is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
01:01:57Crazier than you hiring the CEO of an escort service to be your fake boyfriend.
01:02:02Touche.
01:02:03Look, it's clear you two have feelings for each other.
01:02:05And we have everything we need for a wedding right here.
01:02:09Plus, you're already technically engaged.
01:02:11Doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me.
01:02:14You two?
01:02:15Has everyone gone mad?
01:02:17You see, I have a pretty good eye for successful business mergers.
01:02:20And I believe that a merger between you and I would be lasting.
01:02:29Will you do me the honor of marrying me today?
01:02:33This has to be the craziest thing that I've ever done.
01:02:41Yes, Zachary Fox.
01:02:43I'll marry you.
01:02:48We're having a wedding.
01:02:49Just give us 30 minutes and look at the show on the road.
01:02:52It's okay that it's not white.
01:02:59We all know you're not a virgin anyway.
01:03:01Amelia!
01:03:02What?
01:03:02It's true.
01:03:03I can't believe this is happening.
01:03:10Honestly, sis, you deserve this and more.
01:03:13I'm sorry for always being such a bitch to you.
01:03:16Well, betrayal really changed you.
01:03:20It definitely made me grow up a bit.
01:03:22Mother?
01:03:30Mother?
01:03:31Fiona?
01:03:32I'm not sure I agree with this whole wedding thing.
01:03:35Surprise, surprise.
01:03:37Oh, what?
01:03:37I've been thinking that despite the things I've said in the past, I am quite proud of you.
01:03:44What you've done with Hartwell Industries is amazing.
01:03:47And I know you will lead the company well.
01:03:51It's clear you found a good man in Zachary.
01:03:54And I wish you both all the happiness in the world.
01:03:59Look at you.
01:04:02Okay, that's enough of that.
01:04:04You'll ruin your makeup.
01:04:06Now let's get you married.
01:04:09Let's get you married.
01:04:39Plus, I fell in love with your fire, your strength, and your heart.
01:04:45And I vow to never stop choosing you every day for the rest of my life.
01:04:51I didn't expect you.
01:04:56And I didn't plan for you.
01:05:00But you challenged me.
01:05:02And protected me.
01:05:03Even when I didn't ask you to.
01:05:05And you showed me what real love is.
01:05:07So, I vow to trust you, to grow with you, and to love you until my dying day.
01:05:18By the power vested in me, I now pronounce to you husband and wife.
01:05:22You may now kiss the bride.
