00:10Sorry.

00:12Bitch, you were supposed to be here 15 minutes ago.
00:14I 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.
00:19I was stuck on the train for 20 minutes.
00:20I can't tell you that Grace O'Connell is a menace.
00:24He's already tried to fire like five assistants in the past two months and he hates excuses,
00:29so none of that.
00:32Here.
00:37Alyssa!
00:39Do me proud.
00:59Here, wait.

05:29Fuck me.
05:37Actually, here's what's going to happen.
05:44Bathroom, bed, and then a post-check for me being the best assistant you'll ever have.
05:54Ow!
05:56Oh, suck it up, tough guy.
05:59So, you think I'm tough?
06:02Very impressive, sir. Good night.
06:06Wait, uh...
06:09I'm sorry.
06:11I had a bad day.
06:13You can, um, quit if you want.
06:17But first, can you, um...
06:21Please?
06:23Butter?
06:38Much better.
06:40That's so funny.
06:45You're not so bad when you're drunk.
06:51And I'm nice, actually.
06:54Yeah?
07:04You like it when I'm nice?
07:07Yeah.
07:10Maybe I do.
07:13Nice like this.
07:25Could be nicer.
07:29Nice.
07:30Fine.
07:34Like this.
07:36You that nice to your girlfriend?
07:44Girlfriend?
07:45Iced Americano Chop Chop.
07:47Melinda?
07:48Yeah.
07:49Not my girlfriend.
07:51Let me guess.
07:53You're one of the guys that's married to the job.
07:57That's all I got.
07:59That's all I remember.
08:05I think...
08:07That deep down...
08:09You're a good guy.
08:13Though, I could stand to hear some more please and thank yous around the office.
08:17You're in the office.
08:26Please.
08:39Please.
08:40God, you're fucking gorgeous.
08:54You're drunk.
08:56Not that drunk.
09:00Stay.
09:01Please.
09:02Please.
09:13We...
09:14We can't do this.
09:16You are my boss.
09:18Pop it.
09:20I'll see you at the office.
09:21Sir.
09:26Fuck me.
09:40Need something?
09:43Yes.
09:45Advil?
09:47No.
09:53I need to talk to him.
09:56About last night.
10:05Mr. Sandpepper, was I expecting you?
10:10Miss Troy, if you could excuse us please.
10:17Had to sneak away from the party planning.
10:20Retiring is harder than working, it seems.
10:24That 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.
10:37But 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...
10:57Marriage contract.
10:59Marry my daughter.
11:01And you'll be Sandpepper and Son's newest CEO.
11:08Um...
11:10Excuse me, sir.
11:11I know it's unorthodox.
11:13But Melinda is on board.
11:15Is she?
11:17Bryce.
11:18I want to know that my daughter's taken care of.
11:21And you've always said you wanted to be part of this family.
11:25This is your chance.
11:28It's a win-win.
11:48That bad, huh?
12:05What did he say?
12:09Nothing.
12:11Nothing important.
12:13Okay.
12:14What 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?
12:41I'm your boss.
12:43You're my secretary.
12:45Administrative assistant.
12:49No more Mr. Nice Guy, I guess.
12:53Moving forward, we need to keep things professional, Ms. Troy.
12:58Last night was a mistake.
13:00Won't happen again.
13:05You got that right.
13:06You got that right.
13:24Cheers!
13:25Cheers!
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 squirrel with the boss?
13:46Ugh.
13:47You slut!
13:52You fucked him, didn't you?
13:54No.
13:56No, I didn't.
13:57Tell me everything.
13:59Okay.
14:00Is he bossy in bed?
14:02Does he make you calm, sir?
14:03We didn't fuck.
14:09Okay.
14:11We 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.
14:24Trust 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.
14:36No.
14:38No more assholes.
14:39I'm focusing on myself.
14:42And the second I pay off my law school loans,
14:46O'Connell can kiss my ass goodbye.
14:50Sounds hot.
14:52Oh, thank you.
14:54And, uh, speaking of...
14:57So is that guy over there.
14:59If he will excuse me?
15:01Jesus, his arms look as big as you are.
15:04It's not arms big.
15:06Alyssa!
15:07Melissa!
15:19Poppy?
15:24Michael.
15:25How long's it been?
15:29Not long enough.
15:31You look good.
15:33Sexy.
15:36And you look bad.
15:38Desperate.
15:39Oh, go.
15:40Come on.
15:41Don't be like that.
15:42I just wanna talk.
15:44Oh, yeah?
15:46And how would Amber feel about that?
15:50Hey.
15:51I don't like the way we ended.
15:53And I don't like the way we started.
15:57You forgot to mention that you were married when we met.
16:00Well, let me go.
16:01I can explain all of that.
16:02You heard her.
16:04Let her go.
16:07Who is this?
16:09My boss.
16:11And this is none of my concern.
16:14My employee.
16:16You are my concern.
16:18And I don't like people harassing what's mine.
16:21Look, I'm not going anywhere until she tells me to, alright?
16:24Go.
16:27Haven't you got someone waiting at home?
16:40I had things under control.
16:43Right.
16:44Looked like it.
16:45What are you, some sort of white knight?
16:47I don't need to be rescued for my ex.
16:50That's your ex.
16:53Are you jealous?
16:59Because that wouldn't be very professional of you.
17:04Would it?
17:09Goodnight, Miss Troy.
17:11Goodnight, sir.
17:23What is it?
17:33Good morning to you two.
17:34Mm-hmm.
17:36I have something you might want to take a look at.
17:39There's an issue with this case finding.
17:43The language doesn't match compliance regulations.
17:48And so we could get fined big time.
17:51Or worse, the project could get shut down.
17:55Shit.
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?
18:04You think I want to be an assistant my whole life?
18:07I went to law school.
18:09I'm going to wear my own firm one day.
18:11Not just your pretty face.
18:14Funny, I don't remember saying that.
18:17No.
18:18No.
18:19No, I believe your exact words were fucking gorgeous.
18:29Anything else you need, sir?
18:34I need you.
18:35To get back to work.
18:44What?
18:46Are you expecting something else?
18:48Just that bonus check.
18:50You have to earn it.
18:52I intend to.
18:58Is that wedding bells I hear?
19:01Or just the sound of a bed creaking?
19:03I am doing my job.
19:05Focus on me.
19:06Remember?
19:07Mm-hmm.
19:08Who are you trying to convince?
19:09You or me?
19:11Mm.
19:13Oh, Miss Choi?
19:15We're your schedule.
19:16We'll be working late tonight.
19:31Do you have the...
19:33Richardson case?
19:34To your right.
19:39And the, uh...
19:40Tax documents and the same folder.
19:46What?
19:48To minimize risk and bankruptcy,
19:51you have to categorize the client's assets.
19:54See here?
19:55You have to separate what's business and what's...
20:03Personal.
20:06Yes, sir.
20:10Good girl.
20:11Uh...
20:12Is that your ex again?
20:21Yep.
20:23You want to tell me what happened there?
20:24He is a liar.
20:25And a cheater.
20:26That break, huh?
20:27If you'd ask his wife, she'd say yes.
20:29That was his dirty little secret.
20:30I ended it the day I found out.
20:33I swore to myself...
20:34That I would never be the other woman again.
20:35It kind of fucked me up.
20:36To be honest.
20:37I stopped dating after that.
20:38Sorry.
20:39All I ever wanted...
20:40Was for someone to choose me...
20:42Was for someone to choose me...
20:44I just had that scene.
20:45I could get to me.
20:47This is the worst nightmare of a time ago.
20:49But...
20:51I ended it.
20:57The day I found out.
20:58I swore to myself...
21:00That I would never be the other woman again.
21:03It kind of fucked me up.
21:05To be honest.
21:07I stopped dating after that.
21:09Sorry.
21:10But it's better this way.
21:13Being alone.
21:16No feelings means no getting hurt.
21:19Yeah, it's right. It's definitely easier.
21:28Guess we're the same like that.
21:31Married to the job.
21:33Sorry, I shouldn't be dumping all this on you.
21:37You know, you're my boss and it's not professional, so...
21:41Don't do that.
21:43Don't apologize.
21:48You're being nice again.
21:51Emily.
22:00Could be nice, you know.
22:04Right?
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, your contract?
22:29Nothing.
22:31Nothing for you to worry about, trust me.
22:33Night.
22:34Boss.

32:11Poppy, I need to see you again.
32:12Oh, 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?
32:29Be 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 a...
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?

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.
33:25I care about you.
33:26More than...
33:27Right.

33:31Well, I told you.

33:36And I'm done with this.
33:39Like what?
33:40Okay, so the office we saw earlier was gorgeous.
33:53I mean, hello, open concept.
33:56And, ugh, the windows.
33:58Please tell me you'll poach me to be your assistant when you open up your own room.
34:02If you want to work for no money, benefits, or prestige, totally.
34:06I don't know.
34:07I don't know.
34:14Ugh.
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.
34:33I left some of my shit at his office, and I was wandering.
34:37Well, he's actually at the retirement party.
34:39So, maybe you could go yourself.
34:44Maybe swipe a few clients from the Rolodex while you're at it.
34:48I like the way you think.
34:49You always do.
34:50I swear I'm with my planner right here.
35:05What is that?
35:12A marriage contract?
35:14Is Melinda forcing him to marry her?
35:37Will you clean up nice?
35:39What now?
35:41I thought we had a deal.
35:42We do.
35:43Good.
35:46I'll marry him.
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.
36:01You 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.
36:13Oh, there they are.
36:15The beautiful couple.
36:17Daddy.
36:18Mr. Santa Pepper, 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?
36:24If you'll excuse me.
36:30I think someone didn't get the hint.
36:33I can wait with you.
36:34It's fine.
36:35You're working this event.
36:38I'll wait till the intro's over.
36:40And then I'll talk to her.
36:42Okay.
36:43I got this.
36:44I got this.
36:49You come with me.
36:51You have a lot of nerves showing up here.
36:59We 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.
37:16You're a homewrecker.
37:18I'm prepared to give him everything he wants.
37:21What do you have to offer, huh?
37:25You're just the woman he screws.
37:27I'm the one he's gonna marry.
37:30Everyone.
37:40Everyone, could 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.
38:13I 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.
39:03I 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 fuck 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 on 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...
40:42Why?
40:43Because being married to the job isn't working for me anymore.
40:50Because...
40:52You'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.
41:27You're more than enough.
41:28You'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?
41:48Because 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, Gord.
42:26Decent.
42:28I'm fantastic.
42:30Well, you're unemployed, so.
42:36I'm out.
42:36Papa, you once told me all you ever wanted was someone to choose you.
42:55Where are you?
42:57Choosing you.
43:00If you had me.
43:06Motion granted.
43:36I love you, too, by the way.
43:57I love you, too, by the way.
44:03I love you, too, by the way.
44:06God, I'm a stupid.
44:15I miss that.
44:17How are you so good at that?
44:19I'm highly motivated.
44:20Yeah.
44:24I don't want to disappoint you.
44:27I break up.
44:30As long as you don't go back to bossing me around.
44:33No problem there.
44:38Somehow I doubt either of us are welcome back at Sandpepper and Sons.
44:45I've got to find a new friend.
44:50Ideally one that lets me put my name on the door.
44:52I've got an idea.
45:01I could use an assistant.
45:03I could use an assistant.
45:04But this assistant.
45:05I could use an assistant.
45:06I could use an assistant.
45:07I could use any really stupid stuff.
45:24I actually get meк.
