00:00It
00:30And after three months, the police concluded Audrey Hale's death, suicide.
00:34Miss Hale worked for Cross Enterprises, one of the biggest real estate companies in the country, and was the youngest manager.
00:41I have an interview later, Mother.
00:43I swear. Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:49Don't worry. I won't take long.
00:52This is the third time this month.
00:54And every time, it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
01:01Come on. The boys just want to have fun.
01:04Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
01:10You leave me no choice.
01:12You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
01:18I won't.
01:20If you get married.
01:32Hi. I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
01:35Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
01:43Oh, okay. Um, thank you.
01:45Who did her hair? Do you think she even combed it this morning?
01:48No. She did not comb it.
01:50It's called a rat's nest.
01:51Oh, yes.
01:55This is bullshit.
01:57It can help redeem your image.
01:59It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around.
02:01Started acting like a cronaut.
02:04I never wanted to be CU.
02:05You know very well where you cannot be the same.
02:10What do I have to remind you?
02:14No.
02:24What does she think she's doing?
02:26Oh, I swear these girls are getting dumber.
02:28At least we get a show.
02:29You're the heir to the cross family, Ashton.
02:34This is the hand you've been dealt with.
02:37Play it well.
02:39This company is your father's life's work.
02:42I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
02:44I'm so sorry for interrupting.
02:46I'm so sorry for interrupting, but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes,
02:55or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L, and he'd be really, really unhappy.
03:02Who are you?
03:03Pam from Marketing Strategies.
03:06Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
03:08Thank you, Pam.
03:09Well, obviously, Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
03:14We'll talk about this another time.
03:16You're not off the hook, Ashton.
03:19I've gone through great lengths to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
03:23Remember, you have two weeks, and I want to see a ring.
03:26We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
03:32We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
03:35Yeah, we're really sorry.
03:36We'll escort her out right away.
03:37Did I say I wanted her out?
03:40She's fine.
03:41She can stay.
03:42Go back to work.
03:45Now, go back to work.
03:47Okay.
03:55Zoe Campbell.
03:56Why did you just burst in here like that?
03:58I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounded like you could use an escape from that conversation.
04:03And you came up with that whole story on the spot, just like that?
04:06I act fast under pressure.
04:14You're hired.
04:15Okay.
04:16Your first day starts right now.
04:19Didn't expect it to be so easy, but yes, I guess it all starts right now.
04:26I never said I was selling.
04:31Xander, wouldn't it make more sense if you didn't live in a penthouse?
04:37You'd also be closer to your PT, which Mother says is progressing.
04:41I wouldn't call taking five steps with a walk or progressing.
04:46I should probably leave.
04:48Stay.
04:50I see my little brother has yet another young lady in his life.
04:53This is my new assistant.
04:55Her name is Zoe.
04:56I shall enjoy getting to know your acquaintance, Zoe.
05:03At least these next few months, if you last that long.
05:06Xander.
05:07I can fend for myself.
05:11So, what happened to you?
05:14I assumed Dasher would have told you why I'm in this chair.
05:17Can we discuss the apartment?
05:20I almost died two years ago.
05:24I almost died two years ago.
05:27Car accident.
05:30Our father died.
05:31It made the front page of every paper.
05:36Cross kingdom shattered overnight.
05:39What the press forgot to mention.
05:42You were there, in the accident.
05:45Yes, I was there.
05:48Can we discuss the apartment?
05:51Please?
05:52This meeting has completely been derailed.
05:56Zoe, perhaps it's the best if Xander and I continue alone.
05:59Wait, Zoe.
06:06I know my brother.
06:07And I know he's charming.
06:09I'm sure you've heard the stories of all the women in late night partying.
06:14Most of those women were in your position.
06:17So, I'm telling you now.
06:19If he doesn't bend you over one way,
06:23he'll break you in another.
06:25Really, Xander?
06:26Thank you for your concern.
06:27But the last thing you need to worry about is me falling for your brother.
06:33I assure you,
06:34you should be more afraid of me.
06:39Interesting.
06:40I feel like I know you from somewhere.
06:44Maybe another life.
06:47Must be.
06:48As I stated previously,
06:52I have no intention of selling.
06:54Xander, please.
06:56I'm only trying to help you.
07:01I don't know about you,
07:02but I could use a drink.
07:03I guess you could say that my relationship with my brother is improving.
07:18I mean, at least you're willing to work on it.
07:20Yeah.
07:21I made him a very attractive offer.
07:23Maybe Xander secretly wants to be close to you.
07:26Yeah.
07:26We don't have to talk about my brother.
07:29Or business.
07:31What should we talk about?
07:32You tricked my mother
07:34and stood your own against Xander on the same day.
07:37That makes me a little curious.
07:42You know they say curiosity is a dangerous thing.
07:45I'm not just another assistant you're going to go home with.
07:50I've had a lovely evening though.
07:52And I'll see you tomorrow.
08:08Curiosity isn't enough.
08:10I need his trust.
08:13I've changed my face.
08:15I've come so far.
08:17There's no turning back.
08:18I'm okay.
08:20I know.
08:22I know.
08:22I know.
08:24I know.
08:24Bye.
08:26Bye.
08:28Bye.
08:45Bye.
08:46Bye.
08:47Bye.
08:47I'll find out the truth about you Audrey, and I'll make him pay, I promise.
09:17I can't believe she left with Ashton last night.
09:26You know what they say, you sleep with the right person, you get the right job.
09:30Oh my god, you spilled coffee everywhere.
09:47That was so embarrassing.
09:50Excuse me, ladies. I'm afraid I need to confiscate your key cards and escort you out.
09:55Wait, what? Why?
09:57It was a direct order from Mr. Cross.
09:59He fired us? I mean, he can't do that.
10:02I believe he can.
10:04Now, are you packing yourself, or do you need a hand?
10:07You messed with the wrong person, you lose your job.
10:19Zoe, get in. You're coming with me.
10:36Look, Mr. Cross, I appreciate what you did, but I can't be seen going home with you every night. It's unprofessional.
10:43Well, Zoe, you're my assistant now. You're going to work when I need you to work.
10:47Or I can save us both the trouble and fire you right now.
10:5226 hours, that would be a record even for me.
10:54Can I at least ask where we're going?
11:03On a date.
11:05What?
11:08Mr. Cross, I can't do this.
11:11Black Zoe, this isn't for you. This is for me. And a friend.
11:17You brought me on a date with another woman?
11:20Technically, three other women.
11:22Why would you do that?
11:24I trust your judgment. Tell me which one of these girls I should marry.
11:31I just love yachts. You know, you sail out from L.A. and the entire Atlantic Ocean is yours.
11:39The, uh, Pacific Ocean.
11:41What?
11:44Never mind. I actually don't own a yacht.
11:47But you're rich!
11:49I'm sorry, this is a deal breaker.
11:51Maybe you should just go for your assistant. She's, uh, maintenance.
11:56Babies.
11:59Babies, I mean, they're just so small and they're scrungy and they look old, like old people, but they're, they're little and they're babies and they don't know how to talk to you.
12:08And so they start screaming and they start crying and then they poop and it goes everywhere and they throw up and, like, honestly, it's the grossest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.
12:17And not even that I experience babies, because I've never been around babies.
12:20Other than the fact that I used to be a baby, I just, I do not like babies, like, at all.
12:25I think children are one of the most amazing gifts of life.
12:28And you are so funny, Ashton.
12:31I mean, the reality is just that babies would also get in the way of my social life and I have very high standards for, like, living.
12:40And so...
12:41Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
12:45Don't you think that's kind of selfish?
12:47I'm being a realist.
12:51And you're joking, right?
12:53A man with your Playboy reputation?
12:56You're honestly telling me that you want to settle down and have children.
13:03You are so funny.
13:06My mother said that you studied literature.
13:09Have you, uh, read Fitzgerald?
13:11Who?
13:13Oh, no, I didn't go to school.
13:15Did I go to school with him?
13:16I don't think I went to school with him.
13:17No, no, no.
13:19Uh, Fitzgerald.
13:20The Great Gatsby.
13:22I love Leonardo DiCaprio.
13:25I love him.
13:26I was at a party and he was, like, so hitting on me.
13:29It was so crazy.
13:30He was so short.
13:31It was so weird.
13:32Everything's been taken care of.
13:33Have a great night, alright?
13:34Oh, you paid for it?
13:35Yeah.
13:35Oh, really?
13:36Oh, thank you.
13:36So, wait, let's go.
13:37Yeah.
13:37Where are we going?
13:38Um, I have another date.
13:41Can you order another, like, on your way out?
13:43Absolutely.
13:44Okay.
13:45Tell your mom I said hi.
13:47I miss her.
13:47Yes, we'll do.
13:48Okay.
13:48Okay.
