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.

31:09What?
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...
31:29I trust him.
31:30Look at you.
31:32You're glowing.
31:34I haven't seen you like this since maybe ever.
31:38Yeah.

31:40You deserve it.
31:42Is he in?
31:45Hi, ladies.
31:48Goodness.
31:49Isn't it gorgeous?
31:51Yeah.
31:52A family heirloom.
31:54But Bryce and I are not making the announcement until Daddy's retirement party next week.
31:59So keep it a secret, okay?
32:02God.
32:03I just can't wait to put a ring on his finger.
32:06You know, let the world know that he's taken.
32:10Poppy, 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?
32:28Be a dear and put that in his schedule, will you?
32:31Poppy, this isn't...
32:32It'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.
32:41But 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.
32:57Just gonna...
33:02I'm sorry.
33:03It's...
33:05Complicated.
33:06Guys always say that.
33:09And you know what?
33:10It 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.
33:23I care about you.
33:26More than...
33:27Right.
33:29As a piece on the side.
33:30Well, I told you.
33:32I'm done with that.
33:36And I'm done with this.
33:39I quit.
33:40Okay, so the office we saw earlier was gorgeous.
33:53I mean, low open concept and...
33:57The windows.
33:58Please tell me you'll poach me to be your assistant when you open up your own room.
34:01If you want to work for no money, benefits, or prestige...
34:06Totally.
34:13Ugh.
34:14That's Bryce.
34:16I was right the first time.
34:18Men can't be trusted.
34:20Be trusted.
34:28Speaking of...
34:29I 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.
34:40So...
34:41Maybe you could...
34:43Go 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?
35:01I swear I was my planner right here.
35:06What is that?
35:13A marriage contract?
35:18Is Melinda forcing him to marry her?
35:37Will you clean up nice?
35:39What now?
35:41Thought we had a deal.
35:42We do.
35:43Good.
35:45I'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.
36:00You were embarrassing yourself.
36:02Slumming it with your secretary.
36:04Don't you dare speak about her like that.
36:07For God's sakes, you're acting like you're in love with her or something.
36:10Oh, 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?
36:28If you'll excuse me, I think someone didn't get the hint.
36:31The hint.
36:33I can wait with you.
36:34It's fine.
36:35You're working this event.
36:37I'll wait till the intro's over.
36:40And then I'll talk to him.
36:42Okay.
36:43I got this.
36:49You?
36:50Come with me.
36:55You have a lot of nerves showing up here.
36:57We both know you're not good enough for him.
37:01You're just a little office slut with split ends.
37:05And 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?
37:22You're just the woman he screws.
37:27I'm the one he's gonna marry.
37:38Everyone?
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.
37:49But that was before I knew that I would be handing the keys to the castle over to my future son-in-law.
37:56I am honored to announce Bryce O'Connell will be the new head of Sandpepper & Sons.
38:01I 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.
38:22Well, Bryce, anything to add?
38:37I lost my parents when I was 16.
38:42The Sandpeppers took me in and gave me a second chance at a family.
38:47In Mr. and Mrs. Sandpepper, I saw true love.
38:55I never thought anyone could love me like that.
39:00I never thought I could love anyone like that.
39:04I just wanted this job.
39:11This, um, family.
39:15And then...
39:22What in the fuck do you think you're doing?
39:25I can't do this.
39:27I can't marry you.
39:30Bryce?
39:32You're seriously gonna 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.
39:43I'd rather be out on my ass than be your husband.
39:49Mr. Sandpepper,
39:50all 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.
40:20I'm a friend.
40:26Poppy.
40:31Bryce.
40:34What are you?
40:35I live the firm.
40:39But...
40:42Why?
40:44Because being married to the job isn't working for me anymore.
40:46Because...
40:52You're the smartest.
40:55The sexiest.
40:58Most infuriating woman I have ever met.
41:02Because I am.
41:07I love you.
41:11What about being partner?
41:12The sandpeppers.
41:15Your family.
41:16Everything you've ever wanted.
41:17Not everything.
41:19I don't want you to give up anything for me.
41:23What if I'm not enough?
41:26Poppy.
41:28You're more than enough.
41:32If this moment's all I get,
41:34even if you tell me to get lost,
41:37I'll never regret walking away from you.
41:42Why didn't you tell me about the contract?
41:47Because I was scared.
41:49Scared of losing everything I thought I wanted.
41:54Then I lost you.
41:58I lost you.
42:02And 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.
42:21Good 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.
42:50Poppy, you once told me all you ever wanted was someone to choose you.
42:52I choose you.
42:54Where are you?
42:57Choosing you.
43:01If you had me.
43:07Motion granted.
43:22I love you.
43:24Go.
43:25I love you.
43:26Get myself.
43:28I love you.
43:30I love you.
43:32Okay.
43:33I'll try.
43:35You're worth it.
43:37I love you.
43:39I love you.
43:41I love you.
43:43I love you.
43:45I love you.
43:47I love you.
43:48I love you, too, by the way.
44:12God, I missed you.
44:14I missed that.
44:17How are you still good at that?
44:19I'm highly motivated.
44:20Yeah.
44:24I don't want to disappoint you.
44:27I forget.
44:30As long as you don't go back to bossing me around.
44:36No problem there.
44:38Somehow I doubt either of us will welcome back at Sandpepper and Sons.
44:45I got a finding a friend.
44:47I'm a daily one that lets me put my name on the door.
44:56I've got an idea.
44:57I could use an assistant.
45:03I could use an assistant.
45:03I'm a vampire.
45:12I'll talk to you soon.
45:17I feel free.
45:20You
