00:00I'll be... Bitch, you were supposed to be here 15 minutes ago. I begged to get you this job, and you're already trying to get fired in your first week here.
00:18It wasn't my fault. I was stuck on the train for 20 minutes.
00:20I can't tell you that Grace O'Connell is a menace. He's already tried to fire, like, five assistants in the past two months, and he hates excuses, so none of that.
00:29Here.
00:36Alyssa! Do me proud.
00:59Here, wait. I come back from the gym to no coffee, and you're frazzled.
01:14You were setting the bar low for a new assistant, Miss Choi.
01:17At least I dressed.
01:19Excuse me?
01:20I'm sorry, Mr. O'Connor. I'll get you a coffee right away.
01:24Hmm.
01:29Watch your mouth around here, Miss Choi. It'll get you in trouble.
01:33And you call that dressed?
01:35This is an office, not a slumber party.
01:42Hello, darling.
01:44Oh, good. The new secretary's here. I'll have a large iced Americano. Cha-cha.
01:48Not much to look at, is she?
01:58Now you, on the other hand.
02:00Ooh, good enough to eat. I wasn't expecting breakfast and a show.
02:04Ready to go?
02:06You forgot?
02:09I didn't forget.
02:11I have work. I know the concept is foreign to you, but...
02:15Come on, baby. Work hard, play hard.
02:17Not your baby, Melinda. We're not together.
02:20Never have been. Never will be.
02:23Tease.
02:25By the way, Daddy says congrats on the big win.
02:27Does he, um, say anything else?
02:33He's not gonna name you partner because of one big win.
02:37Be serious, Bricey.
02:39And only family can run Sam Pepper and Sons.
02:44But if you're really interested, um, I might know a way.
02:53If you'll excuse me, Miss Sam Pepper.
02:56You're Americano, Miss?
03:05Okay, then.
03:11I need these deposition transcripts color-coded by tonight.
03:15You can bring them to my place when you're done.
03:19I'm out for the day.
03:21Tonight?
03:22What?
03:24That's impossible.
03:25I already have so much to catch up on from your previous assistant.
03:27So you're saying...
03:29you can't keep up?
03:32What a shame.
03:35Oh, I am more than capable, sir.
03:41Prove it.
03:43Watch me.
03:52Damn!
03:54Connell's really living up to his reputation as a man, or...
03:57Is it hot in here, or is it just you two?
03:59Oh, hello. Thank you. I've sworn off men. Thank you very much.
04:02Babe, not every guy is Michael.
04:05Besides...
04:07He...
04:08Is a total dick.
04:10Right.
04:11A dick you'd like to...
04:12Oh!
04:14Okay.
04:16Duty calls.
04:17Thanks again for getting me the job, babe.
04:19No.
04:32Hello? Anyone in here?
04:42Here are your transcripts.
04:44Don't worry, they only took me 12 hours to finish.
04:47Are you drunk?
04:52I'm celebrating.
04:54Don't you hear?
04:56I had a huge fucking win today.
05:00A win?
05:02I should've made a new partner.
05:04You kept me there till 10pm, color-coding deposition, so you could go home and guzzle whiskey?
05:11You are an asshole.
05:15You know that?
05:18What did I...
05:20Tell you about that now?
05:22Well...
05:24And...
05:26I...
05:27Am not...
05:28An asshole-ing.
05:29Fuck me.
05:30Actually, here's what's going to happen.
05:45Bathroom.
05:47Bed.
05:49And then a rose chick.
05:51For me being the best assistant you'll ever have.
05:55Ow!
05:58Oh, suck it up, tough guy.
06:00So...
06:01You think I'm tough?
06:05Very impressive, sir.
06:07Good night.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:11I had a...
06:13A bad day.
06:15You can, um...
06:16Quit.
06:17If you want.
06:18But first, can you, um...
06:23Please?
06:24Better?
06:40Much better.
06:45That's so funny.
06:46You're not so by while you're drunk.
06:52Little nice, actually.
06:55Yeah?
07:04You like it when I'm nice?
07:05Yeah?
07:10Maybe I do.
07:14Nice like this?
07:26Could be nicer.
07:29Nice?
07:30I'm fine.
07:31Nice.
07:44You that nice to your girlfriend?
07:45Girlfriend?
07:46Iced Americano, chop chop.
07:48Melinda?
07:50Not my girlfriend.
07:52Let me guess.
07:55You're one of the guys that's married to the job.
07:58That's all I got.
07:59That's all I remember.
08:05I think...
08:08That deep down...
08:10You're a good guy.
08:14Though, I could stand to hear some more please and thank yous around the office.
08:26Please.
08:29Please.
08:50God, you're fucking gorgeous.
08:54You're drunk.
08:55I'm drunk.
08:57Not that drunk.
09:00Stay.
09:04Please.
09:14We can't do this.
09:16You are my boss.
09:18Poppy.
09:20I'll see you at the office, sir.
09:27Fuck me.
09:41Need something?
09:43Yes.
09:45Advil?
09:47No.
09:53I need to talk to him.
09:55About last night.
09:56About last night.
10:05Mr. Sandpepper, was I expecting you?
10:10Miss Troy, if you could excuse us, please.
10:12Please.
10:18Had to sneak away from the party planning.
10:21Retiring is harder than working, it seems.
10:23That Anderson case.
10:26Excellent work.
10:28Thank you, sir.
10:29You know, Bryce.
10:31You've always made me proud.
10:33I know you're expecting a certain promotion upon my departure.
10:40But this law firm was handed down to me by my father.
10:44It's got to stay in the family.
10:47Now, thankfully, I have a mutually beneficial solution to our problem.
10:56Is this a...
10:58Marriage contract.
11:00Marry my daughter.
11:02And you'll be Sandpepper and Son's newest CEO.
11:04Oh.
11:10Excuse me, sir.
11:11I know it's unorthodox.
11:13But Melinda is on board.
11:15Is she?
11:17Bryce.
11:19I want to know that my daughter's taken care of.
11:22And you've always said you wanted to be part of this family.
11:25This is your chance.
11:28It's a win-win.
11:29It's a win-win.
11:57That bad, huh?
12:00What did he say?
12:05Nothing.
12:11Nothing important.
12:13Okay.
12:17What did he want to talk to me about?
12:25I need this mess cleaned up.
12:27And a cup of coffee.
12:29Black.
12:32Now.
12:38So that's it then?
12:40That's how it's going to be?
12:42I'm your boss.
12:44You're my secretary.
12:45Administrative assistant.
12:47No more Mr. Nice Guy, I guess.
12:52Moving forward, we need to keep things professional, Miss Joy.
12:59Last night was a mistake.
13:01Won't happen again.
13:02You got that right.
13:05You got that right.
13:08Yeah.
13:12I'm sorry.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:15Cheers!
13:25Cheers!
13:30Mm-mm.
13:31Ugh.
13:32Does tequila always taste that bad?
13:34Always.
13:35We're programmed to forget.
13:36It's like the pain of childbirth.
13:38Ugh.
13:40So it's got you drinking like a fish at the office happy hour?
13:43Is it a lover's squirrel with the boss?
13:46Ugh.
13:51You slut!
13:52You fucked him, didn't you?
13:55No.
13:56No, I didn't.
13:57Tell me everything.
13:58Okay, is he bossy in bed?
14:01Does he make you call him sir?
14:03We didn't fuck.
14:08Okay.
14:09Okay.
14:09We may have almost kissed.
14:15I know.
14:17You owe me.
14:19Like, I got you a man and a job in the same week?
14:23Ugh.
14:23Trust me.
14:25He is not my...
14:26Well, not yet.
14:28Why don't you go get him, tiger?
14:30One second, he's begging me to kiss him.
14:33And the next, he's barking at me for a cup of coffee.
14:35No.
14:38No more assholes.
14:40I'm focusing on myself.
14:42And the second I pay off my law school loans, O'Connell can kiss my ass goodbye.
14:49Ooh.
14:50Sounds hot.
14:52Oh, thank you.
14:53And, uh, speaking of, so is that guy over there.
14:59If he will excuse me.
15:02Jesus, his arms are as big as you are.
15:04It's not as big.
15:07Alyssa!
15:19Poppy?
15:20Poppy?
15:23Michael.
15:28How long has it been?
15:29Not long enough.
15:31You look good.
15:33Sexy.
15:36And you look bad.
15:38Desperate.
15:39Oh, come on.
15:41Don't be like that.
15:42I just want to talk.
15:44Oh, yeah?
15:45And how would Amber feel about that?
15:49Hey.
15:51I don't like the way we ended.
15:52And I don't like the way we started.
15:56You forgot to mention that you were married when we met.
16:00Well, let me go.
16:01I can explain all of that.
16:03You heard her.
16:05Let her go.
16:07Who is this?
16:09My boss.
16:11And this is none of you are my concern.
16:14My plea.
16:16You are my concern.
16:17And I don't like people harassing what's mine.
16:21Look, I'm not going anywhere until she tells me to, all right?
16:24Go.
16:27Haven't you got someone waiting at home?
16:28I had things under control.
16:42Right.
16:43Looked like it.
16:44What are you, some sort of white knight?
16:47I don't need to be rescued for my ex.
16:50That's your ex.
16:50Are you jealous?
16:59Because that wouldn't be very professional of you, would it?
17:05Good night, Miss Troy.
17:11Good night, sir.
17:12Good night, sir.
17:30What is it?
17:31Good morning to you, too.
17:35Mm-hmm.
17:36I have something you might want to take a look at.
17:43There's an issue with this case of our link.
17:46The language doesn't match compliance regulations,
17:48and so we could get fined big time.
17:51Or worse, the project could get shut down.
17:57This needs to be updated before court in the morning.
17:59I already did it.
18:01How do you know how to do that?
18:05You think I want to be an assistant my whole life?
18:08I went to law school.
18:10I'm going to run my own firm one day.
18:13Not just your pretty face.
18:15Funny, I don't remember saying that.
18:18No.
18:19No, I believe your exact words were...
18:23Fucking gorgeous.
18:24Anything else you need, sir?
18:34I need you.
18:41To get back to work.
18:43What?
18:45Are you expecting something else?
18:46Just that bonus check.
18:49You have to earn it.
18:51Mm-hmm.
18:51I intend to.
18:53Mm-hmm.
18:58Ooh, is that wedding bells I hear?
19:00Or just the sound of a bed creaking?
19:03I am doing my job.
19:05Focus on me.
19:06Mm-hmm.
19:06Remember?
19:07Mm-hmm.
19:08Who are you trying to convince?
19:09You or me?
19:11Mm.
19:11Oh, Miss Troy?
19:15For your schedule.
19:16We'll be working late tonight.
19:28Uh.
19:31Do you have the, uh...
19:33Richardson case?
19:34To your right.
19:39And the, uh...
19:39Uh, tax documents in the same folder.
19:41What?
19:48To minimize risk in bankruptcy,
19:50you have to categorize the client's assets.
19:55See here?
19:56You have to separate what's business
19:58and what's...
20:03personal.
20:07Yes, sir.
20:10Good girl.
20:11Is that your ex again?
20:22Yep.
20:23You want to tell me what happened there?
20:24He is a liar.
20:31And a cheater.
20:33That breakup?
20:34If you'd ask his wife,
20:36she'd say yes.
20:38That was his...
20:39dirty little secret.
20:43I ended it.
20:45The day I found out.
20:46I swore to myself that I would never be the other woman again.
20:54It kind of fucked me up, to be honest.
20:56I stopped dating after that.
21:01I'm sorry.
21:03All I ever wanted
21:04was for someone to choose me.
21:08But it's better this way.
21:14Being alone.
21:16No feelings means no getting hurt.
21:18I'm sorry.
21:19I'm sorry.
21:20I'm sorry.
21:20I'm sorry.
21:21I shouldn't be dumping all this on you.
21:23I know you're my boss and it's not professional, so...
21:27Don't do that.
21:28Don't apologize.
21:29You're being nice again.
21:30Come on.
21:31I'm sorry.
21:32I'm sorry.
21:33I'm sorry.
21:34I'm sorry.
21:35I'm sorry.
21:36I shouldn't be dumping all this on you.
21:37I know you're my boss and it's not professional, so...
21:38Don't do that.
21:40Don't apologize.
21:41You're being nice again.
21:44Don't apologize.
21:48You're being nice again.
21:52Emily.
22:01Couldn't be nice enough.
22:05Right?
22:07You should have to go. It's um...
22:19It's getting late.
22:22Right.
22:23Yeah, I'll just pick these up.
22:27What's this, the project?
22:29Nothing. Nothing for you to worry about, trust me.
22:37Night.
22:39Boss.
23:01Honey, I'm home.
23:03What?
23:06Not funny.
23:07Oh, spoil sport.
23:08What are you doing here, Melinda? I have to leave for court soon.
23:11Can't a girl wish her fiancé good luck?
23:14Hey, listen, so I was thinking that we could make our announcement at Daddy's retirement party.
23:21Melinda, I don't want to marry.
23:23What, you think you can just take over my family's business for nothing?
23:26I'm not signing the contract.
23:28I'll be meeting with your father later today to tell him.
23:30You saying no is going to kill Daddy.
23:34What are you talking about?
23:35He's sick, Bryce.
23:37And he's not getting better.
23:40Why do you think he's retiring?
23:41After everything he's done for you, taking you in when your parents died, encouraging you to be a lawyer, and then giving you a job at his own firm and you can't do this one thing for him?
24:02It's all he's ever wanted.
24:08For you to carry on his legacy and become his son, officially.
24:19Do you even care about him at all?
24:21Of course I do. Goddammit, Melinda.
24:24Besides, we do have fun together. Remember the family trip in Santorini? Staying up all night, drinking Uzu under the stars.
24:36There is something here. You can make everyone happy, Brycey. You'll have the business. And we'll have each other.
24:46We'll have each other.
24:49I, um...
24:51Otherwise, you may have to tell Daddy, you know, to clean house before he leaves. Get rid of the traitors.
25:02Are you seriously blackmailing me into marrying you?
25:05If the ring fits.
25:07So, what will it be, sweetie?
25:11Right here, please. Our sweetie!
25:16Did I miss the punctuality's optional memo? Let's go.
25:20Excuse me, who the hell do you think you're talking to?
25:23Not you.
25:25Oh, is this how you let the help behave? I thought you were better than that.
25:29The help? I'm no-
25:31Poppy!
25:33Go to the car.
25:36Is this little nobody gonna be a problem?
25:45No.
25:47She better not.
25:58Fucking hell. I thought deliberation would be done yesterday.
26:07It's island treatment.
26:11That's professional.
26:13Real mature.
26:16You wanna talk about being mature?
26:18How about this hot and cold bullshit you're pulling on me?
26:23I'm not just some toy that you can play with.
26:26You keep flirting with me.
26:28Then you side with Miss Botox when she calls me the help.
26:33What the hell do you want from me?
26:36I want an system.
26:37It doesn't drive me fucking crazy.
26:42Then fire me.
26:44Just like the others.
26:46I can.
26:48Oh.
26:50Why not?
26:52Cause I can't let you go.
26:55Even though I should.
26:57Cause what I wanna do to you.
27:00It could cost me a partner.
27:02It could cost me my entire fucking career.
27:06What do you wanna do to me?
27:10What do you wanna do to me?
27:13Let me show you.
27:14I don't need to do this.
27:16It's the moment I first saw you.
27:35I don't want to do this since the moment I first saw you.
27:47Is that all you wanted to do?
27:50What did we say?
27:56Please, sir.
28:05Jesus Christ.
28:21That good, huh?
28:22Don't get a big head.
28:24Oh, I really should put you in charge of my performance reviews.
28:30So...
28:33What?
28:35Are you going to start being a dick to me again?
28:39I don't want to be.
28:49Look, I like you, Papi.
28:52I like you a lot.
28:55But, um...
28:59This complicates things.
29:06What?
29:08Fucking where we work.
29:11Literally.
29:16Maybe we should keep things under wraps.
29:20Just for now.
29:21I can do that.
29:25I can do that.
29:28I...
29:29I...
29:30I can do that.
29:32No, no, I've got the numbers right here.
29:46No, no, I've got the numbers right here.
30:16No, no, I've got the numbers.
30:46Wait a mistake, please.
30:50Oh.
30:51I need you to fix it inside.
30:53Right here.
30:55Right here.
30:56What?
31:10How dare you hide an office romance from your best friend?
31:16It's a secret, okay?
31:19Not like how it was with Michael.
31:21This is different.
31:24Rice is different.
31:25He's...
31:27I trust him.
31:31Look at you.
31:32You're glowing.
31:34I haven't seen you like this since maybe ever.
31:38All right? I'm happy for you, babe.
31:41You deserve it.
31:44Is he in?
31:47Hi, ladies.
31:50Goodness, isn't it gorgeous?
31:53Yeah, a family heirloom.
31:55But Bryce and I are not making the announcement until Daddy's retirement party next week.
32:00So keep it a secret, okay?
32:02God, I just can't wait to put a ring on his finger.
32:05Or, you know, let the world know that he's taken.
32:11Poppy, I need to see you again.
32:18Oh, baby, don't be mad.
32:20Everybody will know soon enough.
32:22I just wanted to let you know that we have a meeting with the wedding planner on Tuesday.
32:27Oh, you know what?
32:28Be a dear and put that in his schedule, will you?
32:31Poppy, this isn't...
32:33It's not what it looks like.
32:34Mr. Sandpepper gave me...
32:36Everything he's ever wanted.
32:38In a family.
32:40In a partnership.
32:42But we can't go around blabbing about it now, can we?
32:46We don't want it all to go away.
32:49Must go.
32:51Honeymoon shopping.
32:53Bye, baby.
32:54I'm just gonna...
32:59I'm sorry.
33:03It's...
33:05Complicated.
33:07Guys always say that.
33:09And you know what?
33:11It never is.
33:13You lied to me.
33:16You made me your dirty little secret.
33:20Fuck you, Bryce.
33:22You have to trust me.
33:24I care about you more than...
33:27Right.
33:29As a piece on the side.
33:31Well, I told you.
33:33I'm done with that.
33:35And I'm done with this.
33:39Like what?
33:50Okay, so the office we saw earlier was gorgeous.
33:53I mean, low open concept and...
33:56Ugh.
33:57The windows.
33:58Please tell me you'll coach me to be your assistant when you open up your open.
34:02If you want to work for no money, benefits, or prestige...
34:05Totally.
34:06Totally.
34:06I don't know.
34:13Ugh.
34:14That's Bryce.
34:16I was right the first time.
34:19Men can't be trusted.
34:23Speaking of, I have a favor to ask.
34:32I left some of my shit at his office and I was wandering.
34:37Well, he's actually at the retirement party.
34:40So, maybe you could go yourself.
34:44Maybe swipe a few clients from the Rolodex while you're at it.
34:47I like the way you think.
34:49You always do.
35:00I swear I was my planner right here.
35:05What is that?
35:07A marriage contract?
35:18Is Melinda forcing him to marry her?
35:21Will you clean up my eyes?
35:39Oh, what now?
35:41I thought we had a deal.
35:42We do.
35:43Good.
35:46I'll marry you.
35:49But I'll never love you.
35:51Is this about me getting rid of your little plaything?
35:54What was her name?
35:55Popper?
35:56Pepper?
35:57Her name's Poppy.
35:59Baby, I did you a favor.
36:00You were embarrassing yourself.
36:02Slumming it with your secretary.
36:04Don't you dare speak about her like that.
36:08For God's sakes, you're acting like you're in love with her or something.
36:11Oh, don't.
36:13Ah, there they are.
36:15The beautiful couple.
36:16Hey, Daddy.
36:18Mr. Sandpepper, are you okay?
36:19Oh, Bryce, please.
36:21You're about to marry my daughter.
36:23Don't you think it's time you called me Dad?
36:27If you'll excuse me, I think someone didn't get the hint.
36:33I can wait with you.
36:34It's fine.
36:35You're working this event.
36:36I'll wait till the intro's over, and then I'll talk to her.
36:42Okay.
36:43I've got this.
36:49You come with me.
36:51You have a lot of nerves showing up here.
36:58We both know you're not good enough for him.
37:01You're just a little office slut with split ends.
37:04And you're just a spoiled brat whose daddy has to buy her a husband.
37:10I know about the contract.
37:14We're pathetic.
37:16And you're a homewrecker.
37:18I'm prepared to give him everything he wants.
37:21What do you have to offer, huh?
37:23You're just the woman he screws.
37:27I'm the one he's going to marry.
37:29Everyone, everyone, can I have your attention, please?
37:44When I was a young man, I thought I would sooner die in court than retire.
37:50But that was before I knew that I would be handing the keys to the castle over to my future son-in-law.
37:55Now, I am honored to announce Bryce O'Connell will be the new head of Sandpepper and Sons.
38:04I always wanted Bryce to be the one to take over.
38:07I didn't know what I would do if I had to retire before Mellie married a lawyer.
38:12But not just a lawyer, I wanted my daughter to find a good man.
38:16Someone to make her laugh.
38:18Support her dreams.
38:20And build a family.
38:23Well, Bryce, anything to add?
38:25I lost my parents when I was 16.
38:42The Sandpeppers took me in and gave me a second chance at a family.
38:50In Mr. and Mrs. Sandpepper, I saw true love.
38:52I never thought anyone could love me like that.
39:02I never thought I could love anyone like that.
39:06I just wanted...
39:09this job.
39:11This, um...
39:13family.
39:16And then...
39:17What in the hell do you think you're doing?
39:25I can't do this.
39:29I can't marry you.
39:32Bryce, you're seriously going to choose that nobody over me?
39:36This is insane.
39:37She is a secretary.
39:38I am a Sandpepper.
39:40You had to hold my career hostage to get me to consider marrying you.
39:42I'd rather be out of my ass than be your husband.
39:49Mr. Sandpepper,
39:51all I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me.
39:54But I gotta be proud of me, too.
40:02Daddy, do something.
40:04Well, what more do you want me to do, Melinda?
40:06I've already offered the man, the entire company, to marry you.
40:26Poppy.
40:31Bryce.
40:34What are you?
40:35I'm with the friend.
40:39But...
40:40why?
40:43Because being married to the job isn't working for me anymore.
40:50Because...
40:51you're the smartest.
40:55Sexiest.
40:58Most infuriating woman I have ever met.
41:02Because I am.
41:05I love you.
41:11What about being partner?
41:14Sandpeppers.
41:15Your family.
41:16Everything you've ever wanted.
41:18Not everything.
41:19I don't want you to give up anything for me.
41:23What if I'm not enough?
41:26Poppy.
41:26You're more than enough.
41:27You're more than enough.
41:32And if this moment's all I get.
41:35Even if you tell me to get lost.
41:40I'll never regret walking away from you.
41:42Why didn't you tell me about the contract?
41:45Why didn't you tell me about the contract?
41:48Because I was scared.
41:52Scared of losing everything I thought I wanted.
41:57Then I lost you.
41:58And I was terrified.
42:06I am so sorry.
42:08If I ever made you feel less than.
42:13Because you're more than I've ever dreamed of.
42:14Good speech.
42:23I can see why you're decent in court.
42:26Decent.
42:28I'm fantastic.
42:30Well you're on a void so.
42:36I'm out.
42:36Papa you once told me all you ever wanted was someone to choose you.
42:54Where are you?
42:57Choosing you.
43:00If you're happy.
43:06I shouldn't go in it.
43:36I love you too.
43:56By the way.
43:57I love you too.
43:58By the way.
44:06God, I missed you.
44:15I missed that.
44:17How are you so good at that?
44:19I'm highly motivated.
44:20Yeah.
44:24I don't want to disappoint you.
44:27By Perka.
44:30As long as you don't go back to bossing me around.
44:32Hey, no problem there.
44:38Somehow I doubt either of us will welcome back at Sandpepper and Sons.
44:45I gotta find a new friend.
44:50Ideally one that lets me put my name on the door.
44:55I've got an idea.
45:01I could.
45:02He's an assistant.
