00:00I'm sorry, thanks for being here.
00:10Sorry.
00:11I'm not being here.
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.
01:00I come back from the gym to no coffee and you're frazzled.
01:13You were setting the bar low for a new assistant, Miss Choi.
01:16At least I dressed.
01:18Excuse me?
01:19I'm sorry, Mr. O'Connor.
01:20I'll get you a coffee right away.
01:21Hmm.
01:22Watch your mouth around here, Miss Choi.
01:23It'll get you in trouble.
01:24And you call that dressed?
01:25This is an office, not a slumber party.
01:26Hello, darling.
01:27Oh, good.
01:28The new secretary's here.
01:29I'll have a large iced Americano.
01:30Cha-cha.
01:31Not much to look at as she.
01:46Now you, on the other hand.
01:48Chup, chup.
01:56Not much to look at, is she?
01:58Now you, on the other hand.
02:00Oof, good enough to eat.
02:02I wasn't expecting breakfast and a show.
02:04Ready to go?
02:08You forgot?
02:10I didn't forget. I've worked...
02:12I know the concept is foreign to you, but...
02:14Come on, baby, work hard, play hard.
02:16Not your baby, Melinda.
02:18We're not together.
02:20Never have been, never will be.
02:22Teens.
02:24By the way, Daddy says congrats on the big win.
02:26Does he, um...
02:28Say anything else?
02:30He's not gonna name you a partner because of one big win.
02:34Be serious, Brycey.
02:36And only family can run Sam Pepper and Sons.
02:40But if you're really interested,
02:42I might know a way.
02:54If you'll excuse me, Miss Sam Pepper.
03:00You're Americano, Miss?
03:02Okay, then.
03:10I need these deposition transcripts color coded by tonight.
03:14You can bring them to my place when you're done.
03:18I'm out for the day.
03:20Tonight?
03:22That's impossible.
03:24I already have so much to catch up on from your previous assistant.
03:26So you're saying...
03:28You can't keep up?
03:32What a shame.
03:34Oh, I am more than capable, sir.
03:40Prove it.
03:42Watch me.
03:44Watch me.
03:52Damn.
03:53Connell's really living up to his reputation as a man whore.
03:56Is it hot in here or is it just you two?
04:00No, thank you. I've sworn off men.
04:02Thank you very much.
04:03Babe, not every guy is my goal.
04:05Besides...
04:07He...
04:08Is a tall dick.
04:10Right.
04:11A dick you'd like to...
04:12Oh!
04:14Okay.
04:15Uh...
04:16Duty calls.
04:17Thanks again for getting me the job, babe.
04:32Hello?
04:33Anyone in here?
04:42Here are your transcripts.
04:44Don't worry.
04:45They only took me...
04:46Twelve hours to finish.
04:50Are you drunk?
04:52I'm celebrating.
04:54I got you here.
04:57I had...
04:58A huge...
04:59Fucking one today.
05:01A win.
05:02I should've made a new partner.
05:04You kept me there till 10 p.m.
05:08Color-coding deposition so you could go home and guzzle whiskey?
05:14You...
05:15An asshole.
05:17You know that?
05:19What did I...
05:20Tell you about that now?
05:22Oh?
05:24And...
05:26I...
05:27Not...
05:28An asshole.
05:29Uh-oh.
05:30An...
05:36Fuck me.
05:42Actually...
05:43Here's what's going to happen.
05:45Bathroom.
05:47Bed.
05:49And then a post-check.
05:51For me being the best assistant...
05:53You'll ever have.
05:55Ow!
05:58Oh, suck it up, tough guy.
06:00So...
06:01You think...
06:02I'm tough?
06:05Very impressive, sir.
06:06Good night.
06:07Wait, uh...
06:11I'm sorry.
06:12I had a...
06:13A bad day.
06:15You can, um...
06:16Quit...
06:17If you want.
06:18But first, can you, um...
06:23Please?
06:25Cut off her.
06:27No!
06:28But
06:30much better.
06:37But huh?
06:39Leute.
06:40We were just shaking them shegues...
06:41Ooh, who said honey!

06:49Ha ha zhoouitot.
06:50You're not so bi-way you're drunk.
06:52Field last night...
06:53No, no, nice.
06:54Yeah?
07:04You like it when I'm nice?
07:08Yeah.
07:10Maybe I do.
07:14Nice like this?
07:24Could be nicer.
07:29Nice.
07:30Why?
07:35Yes.
07:43You that nice to your girlfriend?
07:45Girlfriend?
07:46Iced Americano, chop chop.
07:48Melinda?
07:49Yeah.
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.
08:00I'm an asshole 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.
08:22Please.
08:26Please.
08:39Please.
08:40Please.
08:50God you're fucking gorgeous.
08:55You're drunk.
08:57Not that drunk.
09:00Stay.
09:04Please.
09:10Please.
09:13We can't do this.
09:16You are my boss.
09:18Pop it.
09:20I'll see you at the office.
09:22Sir.
09:26Fuck me.
09:41Need something?
09:43Yes.
09:45Advil?
09:47No.
09:53I need to talk to him.
09:56About last night.
09:57Mr. Sandpepper, was I expecting you?
10:10Miss Troy, if you could excuse us please.
10:13Had to sneak away from the party planning.
10:16Retiring is harder than working it seems.
10:19That Anderson case.
10:22Excellent work.
10:24Thank you sir.
10:25You know Bryce.
10:27You've always made me proud.
10:29I know you're expecting a certain promotion.
10:31Upon my departure.
10:33But 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.
11:00Marry my daughter.
11:02And you'll be Sandpepper and Son's newest CEO.
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.
11:24This is your chance.
11:28It's a win win.
11:55That bad, huh?
11:57That bad, huh?
12:05What did he say?
12:09Nothing.
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.
12:33Now.
12:38So that's it then?
12:41That's how it's going to be?
12:43I'm your boss.
12:44You're my secretary.
12:46Administrative assistant.
12:48No more Mr. Nice Guy, I guess.
12:54Moving forward, we need to keep things professional, Ms. Joy.
12:59Last night was a mistake.
13:01Won't happen again.
13:06You got that right.
13:17Cheers.
13:30Mm-mm.
13:32Ugh.
13:34Does tequila always taste that bad?
13:35Always.
13:36We're programmed to forget.
13:37It's like the pain of childbirth.
13:39Ugh.
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.
13:51You slut!
13:53You fucked him, didn't you?
13:55No.
13:56No, I didn't.
13:58Tell me everything.
13:59Okay, is he bossy in bed?
14:02Does he make you call him sir?
14:03He didn't fuck.
14:04Ugh.
14:09Okay.
14:12We 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 friend.
14:27Well, not yet.
14:28Why don't you go get him, tiger?
14:30One second, he's begging me to kiss him.
14:32And the next he's barking at me for a cup of coffee.
14:36No.
14:38No more assholes.
14:40I'm focusing on myself.
14:42And the second I pay off my law school loans,
14:47O'Connell can kiss my ass goodbye.
14:50Ooh.
14:51Sounds hot.
14:55And, uh, speaking of,
14:58what's that guy over there?
14:59If he will excuse me?
15:02Jesus, his arms look as big as you are.
15:05It's not arms big.
15:07Alyssa!
15:20Poppy?
15:21Michael.
15:22How long has it been?
15:23Not long enough.
15:24You look good.
15:25Sexy.
15:27And you look bad.
15:28Desperate.
15:29Oh, come on.
15:30Don't be like that.
15:31I just want to talk.
15:32Oh, yeah?
15:34And how would Amber feel about that?
15:35Hey.
15:36I don't like the way we ended.
15:37And I don't like the way we started.
15:38You forgot to mention that you were married when we met.
15:40Well, let me go.
15:41I can explain all of that.
15:42You heard her.
15:43I can explain all of that.
15:44You heard her.
15:45I can explain all of that.
15:46You heard her.
15:47I can explain all of that.
15:48You heard her.
15:49Who is this?
15:50My boss.
15:51And this is not long of my concern.
15:52My plane.
16:05No, I'm not concerned.
16:07I can explain all of that.
16:08You heard her.
16:09Let her go.
16:12Who is this?
16:13My boss.
16:15And this is not long of my concern.
16:16My plane.
16:17And I don't like people harassing what's mine.
16:20Look, I'm not going anywhere until she tells me to, all right?
16:24Go!
16:26Haven't you got someone waiting at home?
16:40I had things under control.
16:42Right. Looked like it.
16:44What are you, some sort of white knight?
16:46I don't need to be rescued for my ex.
16:49That's your ex.
16:56Are you jealous?
16:58Because that wouldn't be very professional of you, would it?
17:09Good night, Miss Troy.
17:11Good night, sir.
17:16What is it?
17:18Good morning to you two.
17:22I have something you might want to take a look at.
17:28There's an issue with this case-finding.
17:34The language doesn't match compliance regulations, and so we could get fined big time.
17:40Or worse, the project could get shut down.
17:52Shit.
17:53This needs to be updated before court in the morning.
17:55I already did it.
17:56How do you know how to do that?
17:57You think I want to be an assistant my whole life?
18:07I went to law school.
18:09I'm going to run my own firm one day.
18:12Not just your pretty face.
18:15Funny, I don't remember saying that.
18:18No.
18:19No, I believe your exact words were.
18:22Fucking gorgeous.
18:29Anything else you need, sir?
18:31I need you.
18:41To get back to work.
18:43What?
18:45Are you expecting something else?
18:47Just that bonus check.
18:49You have to earn it.
18:51I intend to.
18:58Is that wedding bells I hear?
19:00Or just the sound of a bed creaking?
19:03I am doing my job.
19:05Focus on me.
19:06Remember?
19:07Who are you trying to convince?
19:09You or me?
19:14Oh, Miss Choi.
19:15Clear your schedule.
19:16We'll be working late tonight.
19:21Do you have the...
19:33Richardson case?
19:34To your right.
19:39And the...
19:40Tax documents and the same folder.
19:47What?
19:49To minimize risk and bankruptcy.
19:51You have to categorize the client's assets.
19:54See here.
19:57You have to separate what's business
19:58and what's...
20:04personal.
20:07Yes, sir.
20:10Good girl.
20:11Is that your ex again?
20:22Yep.
20:24You want to tell me what happened there?
20:29He is a liar.
20:31And a cheater.
20:33That break, huh?
20:34If you'd ask his wife.
20:35If you'd ask his wife.
20:36She'd say yes.
20:38That was his...
20:40dirty little secret.
20:44I ended it.
20:45The day I found out.
20:48I swore to myself.
20:50That I would never be the other woman again.
20:54It kind of fucked me up.
20:56To be honest.
20:58I stopped dating after that.
21:02Sorry.
21:04All I ever wanted...
21:06was for someone to choose me.
21:12But it's better this way.
21:15Being alone.
21:17No feelings means no getting hurt.
21:21Well...
21:22Yeah, it's...
21:23right.
21:25It's...
21:26definitely...
21:28easier.
21:29Guess we're the same like that.
21:32Married to the job.
21:34Sorry.
21:36I shouldn't be dumping all this on you.
21:38You know, you're my boss.
21:40It's not professional, so...
21:41Don't do that.
21:44Don't apologize.
21:47You're being nice again.
21:52Emily.
22:01Could be nice about...
22:05Right?
22:14Oh.
22:16You should have to go.
22:17It's...
22:20It's getting late.
22:22Right.
22:24Yeah.
22:25I'll just pick these up.
22:28What's this?
22:29Your contract?
22:30Nothing.
22:31Nothing for you to worry about.
22:32Trust me.
22:37Night.
22:39Boss.
22:46Honey, I'm home.
22:47Not funny.
22:56Oh, spoil sport.
22:57What are you doing here, Melinda? I have to leave for court soon.
22:59Can't a girl wish her fiancé good luck?
23:00Hey, listen. So I was thinking that we could make our announcement at Daddy's retirement party.
23:12Melinda, I don't want to marry you.
23:13What? You think you can just take over my family's business for nothing?
23:14I'm not signing the contract. I've been meeting with your father later today to tell him.
23:17You saying no is going to kill Daddy?

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...
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.
32:57Just gonna...
32:59Yeah.
33:02I'm sorry.
33:03It's...
33:04Complicated.
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.
33:25I care about you more than...
33:27Right.
33:29As a piece on the side.
33:31Well, I told you.
33:32I'm done with that.
33:36And I'm done with this.
33:39Like what?
33:50Okay, so the office we saw earlier was gorgeous.
33:53I mean, a low open concept and...
33:57Ugh, 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...
34:06Totally.
34:06Ugh, that'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.
34:36Well, 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 was my planner right here.
35:05What is that?
35:07A marriage contract?
35:18Is Melinda forcing him to marry her?
35:37Will you clean up nice?
35:39Oh, what now?
35:40I thought we had a deal.
35:42We do.
35:43Good.
35:46I'll marry him.
35:48But I'll never love you.
35:51Is this about me getting rid of your little plaything?
35:53What was her name?
35:54Popper?
35:55Pepper?
35:56Her name's Poppy.
35:58Baby, 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.
36:06For 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.
36:17Mr. Sandpaper, are you okay?
36:19Oh, Bryce, please.
36:20You're about to marry my daughter.
36:22Don't you think it's time you called me Dad?
36:27If you'll excuse me.
36:29I 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 him.
36:41Okay.
36:42Okay.
36:43I got this.
36:49You?
36:50Come 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.
37:11You're pathetic.
37:12You're a homewrecker.
37:13I'm prepared to give him everything he wants.
37:14What do you have to offer, huh?
37:15You're just the woman he screws.
37:16I'm the one he's gonna marry.
37:17Everyone.
37:18Everyone, could I have your attention, please?
37:19Yes.
37:20When I was a young man, I thought I would sooner die in court than retire.
37:24But that was before I knew that I would be handing the keys to the cops.
37:25You're just the woman he screws.
37:26You're just the woman he screws.
37:27I'm the one he's gonna marry.
37:31Everything is the personality.
37:40You're just the woman he puzzles.
37:43I guess this, I'm quase let risk to thechenyard of professor.
37:48What do you have to produce now?
37:52Where do you have to have your attention, please?
37:55your son-in-law, I am honored to announce Bryce O'Connell will be the new head of Sand Pepper
38:00and Sons. I always wanted Bryce to be the one to take over. I didn't know what I would do if I had
38:10to retire before Mellie married a lawyer, but not just a lawyer. I wanted my daughter to find a good
38:15man, someone to make her laugh, support her dreams, and build a family. Well, Bryce, anything to add?
38:25I lost my parents when I was 16. The Sand Peppers took me in and gave me a second chance at
38:46the family. In Mr. and Mrs. Sand Pepper, I saw true love. I never thought anyone could love
38:59me like that. I never thought I could love anyone like that. I just wanted this job, this, um,
39:13family. And then...
39:18What in the fuck do you think you're doing? I can't do this. I can't marry you.
39:30Bryce, you're seriously gonna choose that nobody over me? This is insane. She is a secretary. I am a
39:39Sand Pepper. You had to hold my career hostage to get me to consider marrying you. I'd rather
39:44be out on my ass than be your husband. Mr. Sand Pepper, all I ever wanted was for you to be proud
39:53of me. But I gotta be proud of me, too. Daddy, do something. Well, what more do you want me to do, Melinda?
40:06I've already offered the man, the entire company, to marry you.
40:27Bryce, what are you? I'm with the friend. But why? Because being married to the job isn't working for me
40:46anymore. Because you're the smartest, the sexiest, most infuriating woman I have ever met. Because I am. I love you.
41:11What about being partner? The Sand Peppers? Your family? Everything you've ever wanted?
41:18Not everything. I don't want you to give up anything for me. What if I'm not enough?
41:26Bobby, you're more than enough. If this moment's all I get, even if you tell me to get lost,
41:40I'll never regret walking away from you. Why didn't you tell me about the contract?
41:49Because I was scared. Scared of losing everything I thought I wanted.
41:58Then I lost you. And I was terrified.
42:03I am so sorry if I ever made you feel less than.
42:13Because you're more than I've ever dreamed of.
42:21Good speech.
42:22Good speech.
42:23Good speech.
42:24I can see why you're decent, Gord.
42:25Decent.
42:27I'm fantastic.
42:31Well, you're unemployed, so...
42:33Done about.
42:36I'm out.
42:50Papa, you once told me all you ever wanted was someone to choose you.
42:54Where are you?
42:57Choosing you.
43:00If you had me.
43:06I shouldn't grant it.
43:36I love you too, by the way.
43:57I hate you too.
44:12God, I missed you.
44:14I miss that.
44:17How are you so good at that?
44:19I'm highly motivated.
44:20baby. I don't want to disappoint you. I break it. As long as you don't go back to bossing
44:32me around. No problem there. Somehow I doubt either of us will welcome back at Sandpepper
44:41and sense. I gotta find a new friend. A daily one that lets me put my name on the door. I've
44:56got an idea. I could use an assistant.
45:11I can't believe.
