Transcript

00:00:00Take it easy. Mr. Harrington, you should slow down.

00:00:21I worked as his assistant for a year, all because I couldn't stop falling for him.

00:00:26I knew his heart still belonged to another woman, but I kept hoping that maybe, someday, he'd finally turn around and see me.

00:00:36Mr. Harrington, I'll go draw you a bath.

00:00:46You...

00:00:49I might.

00:00:50I'll take care of you.

00:00:54I thought my dream had finally come true.

00:00:56I thought my dream had finally come true, until my daughter was born.

00:01:11That's when I realized, no matter how hard you try, you can never thaw a heart made of ice.

00:01:23It's been seven years and I'm still haunted by that night.

00:01:28Every mistake I've made, it all started with that dream.

00:01:33Mommy, did you have a bad dream?

00:01:36No, no sweetheart, I'm fine.

00:01:39Are we really moving out?

00:01:41But, Daddy hugged me tonight. Does that mean he's starting to like me?

00:01:47Sweetheart, your Daddy's true love is coming back.

00:01:51So we can't stay here anymore.

00:01:53But, he gave me the stuffed bunny tonight.

00:01:57If he didn't like me, why would he buy me a gift?

00:02:00Should I tell her Richard's only happy because his one true love is coming back from abroad?

00:02:06Or, her gift came from another woman's shadow?

00:02:13Daddy, you're home!

00:02:15Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?

00:02:17How many times must I say this? She is never to call me Dad!

00:02:28Sorry, Uncle Richard.

00:02:31You don't have to like me, but Amy is your daughter. How could you hurt her like this?

00:02:36You're the one who climbed into my bed and used your pregnancy to trap me into a marriage.

00:02:43Is that your idea of not hurting your daughter?

00:02:47I've already explained it a thousand times.

00:02:50It only happened that night because you were-

00:02:52Enough!

00:02:53I don't want to hear it anymore.

00:02:55Tell my mom!

00:02:57Mommy, I'll go return.

00:02:59Please stop fighting!

00:03:04Who told you you could have this?

00:03:06Tell your daughter to keep her hands off of things that don't belong to her.

00:03:09So that's it. The gift was meant for his true love's daughter all along.

00:03:16Is Amy really that worthless in his eyes?

00:03:20Don't call me Amy.

00:03:23Amy.

00:03:25What if we leave Uncle Richard together?

00:03:28Will you come with Mommy?

00:03:30Can we stay?

00:03:32You think that let me call him Dad once?

00:03:34He doesn't want us here.

00:03:37Mommy can take you away.

00:03:39Can we give Uncle Richard three more chances?

00:03:43If he really doesn't like us, we'll leave him.

00:03:46We're good.

00:03:50Okay.

00:03:51Richard Arrington, my daughter and I are giving you three more chances.

00:04:01After that, you'll have no place in our home. Ever.

00:04:09Zoe, are you really quitting the job?

00:04:12Yeah.

00:04:13Um, Amy's father is abroad, so I'm taking her to go join him.

00:04:19I know it must have been tough raising Amy alone.

00:04:30Zoe, did you see that?

00:04:33Mr. Harrington, our Iceberg CEO, is bringing someone with him for the first time ever.

00:04:38Evelyn York. She really is stunning.

00:04:48No wonder Richard's never gotten over her all these years.

00:04:52Even when he was drunk, he was still calling her name in my bed.

00:04:56Who is that girl?

00:04:58She looks really close to Mr. Harrington.

00:05:01Could she be the future Mrs. Harrington?

00:05:05Everyone, I'd like to make an announcement.

00:05:06Miss Evelyn York here will be joining us at the company and taking the position as my new personal assistant.

00:05:12Zoe, what are you going to do if she takes your place as his assistant?

00:05:16I'm leaving soon anyways. It's perfect timing for her to show up.

00:05:20I can't believe the Harrington Corp would just parachute someone in like that.

00:05:25Not just someone, she's that one.

00:05:28Wait, isn't Zoe Mr. Harrington's personal assistant?

00:05:34And now Evelyn's here, so what does that mean for Zoe? Will she lose her job?

00:05:39I've been here for years and this is the first time I've ever seen them drop someone in like this.

00:05:44Everyone else started from the bottom and worked their way up.

00:05:47Don't you guys think she looks kind of familiar? Haven't we seen her somewhere before?

00:05:50Wait, isn't she Mr. Harrington's first love? I heard they almost got married once, but she suddenly vanished and Mr. Harrington's been drowning himself in booze over her ever since.

00:06:05Hi, everyone. I'm so excited to be joining the company and becoming part of the Harrington family.

00:06:16I'd really appreciate your guidance as I get settled in.

00:06:21What? Zoe worked herself to the bone bringing in all those big clients to become the CEO's personal assistant.

00:06:28Exactly. Everyone can see how skilled Zoe is and yet suddenly someone comes along and steals her position. It's so unfair.

00:06:37I feel so bad for Zoe.

00:06:39Come on, you're near here. Let me show you around.

00:06:42Richard, you've got so much work to do. I don't want to be a burden.

00:06:48Maybe Zoe could show me around?

00:06:51Actually, I've got a lot on my plate right now.

00:07:01Then, forget it. Never mind.

00:07:04No, no. Show her around.

00:07:07It won't take too much of your time.

00:07:14Hi.

00:07:15This is the conference room. I've shown you everything you need to see.

00:07:24You get it now. Don't you, Zoe?

00:07:28No matter how hard you work, in Richard's heart, I'm the one that matters the most.

00:07:35What? Can't handle the truth?

00:07:38Well, he's just using you for pleasure. One call for me and he flies overseas just to see me.

00:07:50Then I wish you too a lifetime of happiness. For as long as you both shall live.

00:07:57You're saying one thing and doing another. You think I don't see right through you, you two-faced slut.

00:08:05How else do you think you got pregnant?

00:08:10I almost feel sorry for your daughter.

00:08:14She's Richard's blood and yet he treats my daughter like she's his own.

00:08:20Do you know why that is?

00:08:22Well, if you're so confident, then why don't you convince Richard to make you his wife?

00:08:28Unless, of course, you're hiding something.

00:08:32What are you so afraid of?

00:08:33What am I afraid of?

00:08:36The one who should be afraid is you.

00:08:46Zoe!

00:08:47Are you okay?

00:09:03I'm fine, Richard.

00:09:04I'm fine, Richard.

00:09:11Apologize.

00:09:13I can't believe it took me this long to see how blind you really are.

00:09:18Richard, don't be angry. She didn't mean it. Please, for my sake.

00:09:23The surveillance cameras are on. Why don't you check them before accusing me?

00:09:32Two chances left.

00:09:36Richard, I'm okay.

00:09:38Zoe's probably upset because I took her spot. It was just a slap. Don't start any drama over me.

00:09:48I can't just let this slide. She's already hit you once. Who knows what she'll do next time.

00:09:52I need to teach you a lesson.

00:09:55I'm tired of these little charades. I'm leaving. Excuse me.

00:10:02Zoe! If you walk out those doors, you'll be demoted to a junior assistant.

00:10:08Do whatever you want.

00:10:18Zoe's acting so differently. What's going on with her?

00:10:33What? Is Zoe quitting?

00:10:35Is Zoe quitting?

00:10:41Maya, why didn't you tell me Zoe was resigning?

00:10:45Zoe told me not to let Mr. Harrington find out. How did he know?

00:10:50Mr. Harrington, there must be some mistake. Zoe, resign. That's impossible.

00:10:59That's right. She'd never leave me. She loves me too much.

00:11:02Richard, please, don't be so hard on Zoe.

00:11:11Will you come to my place tonight? I want to be with you.

00:11:16Whatever you want.

00:11:18You're so good to me.

00:11:20Spending the night at another woman's place while we're still married? Fine. Soon you'll be free to spend every night with her.

00:11:29I want to spend every night with her.

00:11:39Mom!

00:11:41Hey!

00:11:43Mom, tomorrow is our open house. Can Daddy come?

00:11:46Seven years of marriage and not once has you come to any school.

00:11:50Why would tomorrow be any different?

00:11:51Why would tomorrow be any different?

00:11:59Amy, I- I-

00:12:00Mom, all my classmates say I don't even have a dad. Let Daddy come just once. Please?

00:12:05Please?

00:12:07Okay. I'll text him.

00:12:12Amy's school has open house tomorrow. Any chance he could come?

00:12:16Hmm.

00:12:20Mom, is Daddy too busy to come?

00:12:23I don't know, babe. Sorry.

00:12:24Sorry.

00:12:25I get it. It's okay. Daddy's busy. I understand.

00:12:30Amy.

00:12:34Okay. I'll come.

00:12:36Amy, look. Daddy says I'll come.

00:12:38Yay! Daddy's finally coming to my school for me.

00:12:41Mommy, my teacher said I did really well at school this year, and I get to be class president this semester.

00:12:47Daddy knew. Maybe he'd start liking me, right?

00:12:48Please. Just don't break Amy's heart this time.

00:12:59Mom! Daddy's really here!

00:13:04He really came!

00:13:06Let's go over to Daddy.

00:13:10Daddy!

00:13:12Why didn't you just call me?

00:13:18Uncle Richard, you're sitting at the wrong desk. Mine's up front. It's the first time Dad actually kept his promise. I feel so happy!

00:13:30This is my seat.

00:13:34Out of the way! This is my dad!

00:13:38So that's it. He came, but not for Amy. He came for Evelyn's daughter.

00:13:43Oh, Lily didn't need it. I'm sorry.

00:13:48Zoe, you're going to the open house too, right?

00:13:52So, where's her dad?

00:13:56My dad's overseas.

00:13:59He's busy. I didn't want to bother him.

00:14:02Uncle Richard, Mom and I are leaving now. Excuse us.

00:14:06Usually, Amy clings to me no matter what. But today she's pulling away on her own. What's gotten in there?

00:14:21Mom, first he brought that woman to the company and took your spot. And now, he shows up at school for some other kid. Dad only has one more chance left.

00:14:29What did I do to deserve this? Why does my daughter have to suffer? And there's nothing I can do to stop it.

00:14:38Welcome, parents. And thank you all for being here today. I'm sure you want to know how your kids are doing, so let's dive right in.

00:14:49Amy, I heard you're doing really well in school, right? Quiet, please.

00:14:55I am thrilled to say that all of our pupils have been studying super hard this semester.

00:15:02However, there is one student who has gone above and beyond, and that is Amy Harrington.

00:15:10Congratulations, Amy. You have been elected as class president.

00:15:14Why did she get to be class president?

00:15:27Amy, would you like to come up here and say something to everyone?

00:15:34I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't really know what to say.

00:15:38Oh, Amy, you just need a little more confidence, but no worries. Let's carry on.

00:15:49Amy, don't worry. Mommy will always be with you.

00:15:54Don't be sad.

00:15:58Hey, what took you so long to get out today?

00:16:01You want to go home together today?

00:16:04You want to go home together today?

00:16:09By the way, Evelyn's daughter, Lily, she's a transfer student, right?

00:16:14So she never got the chance to run for class president.

00:16:18Amy, do you think maybe you could ask the teacher if she could have the title instead?

00:16:23Of course. Every gift comes with a price. Even this lollipop doesn't come for free.

00:16:33Okay, Uncle Richard.

00:16:36Richard, help! Lily is sick. Can you come pick us up?

00:16:50Can you come pick us up?

00:16:53Dad!

00:17:02Stay safe.

00:17:07This time, he didn't tell our daughter to call him Uncle.

00:17:11But this would be the last time she'd ever call him Dad.

00:17:20Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.

00:17:35Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.

00:17:41Mom, let's get ready to board the plane.

00:17:44Okay, let's go.

00:17:45I wish you happiness.

00:17:49Again, FBR going to Chicago Midway on Southwest Flight 882.

00:17:53You're delaying departure at 725.

00:17:55That flight will be departing out at gate number 15.

00:17:58Gate number 15.

00:17:59Maya?

00:18:09Zoe? Please, you've got to help me.

00:18:12What? What's going on?

00:18:13What? What's going on?

00:18:14You remember the project with Mr. Lawrence?

00:18:17We're in the final stages, but now he's heard you're leaving and refuses to sign.

00:18:21If Mr. Harrington finds out about this, I'm finished. Fired.

00:18:26Please, I'm begging you.

00:18:29It's not fair to let someone else take the fall for the mess I left behind.

00:18:34Okay, I'll be back right away.

00:18:36Thank you, Zoe. Thank you so much.

00:18:44Amy, Mommy just has one last thing she has to take care of, okay?

00:18:49We'll leave by tomorrow, I promise.

00:18:52Okay.

00:18:57Once I wrap things up with Mr. Lawrence and seal the deal, I can finally leave for good.

00:19:09Evelyn?

00:19:11This is my seat.

00:19:13Please, ma'am.

00:19:23This desk is closest to Richard.

00:19:26I'm his personal assistant now, so naturally, it belongs to me.

00:19:30Sorry.

00:19:31If you want this seat so badly, you can ask Richard for it.

00:19:35But for now, it's mine.

00:19:36I hate to break it to you, Zoe, but Richard already gave me this spot.

00:19:43He said a junior assistant like you doesn't deserve to sit here.

00:19:48You must be boiling with jealousy, aren't you?

00:20:03Look at you.

00:20:05You're pathetic.

00:20:06He said a junior assistant like you don't care, but Richard took my daughter to the open house.

00:20:15That must have broken your heart, didn't it?

00:20:18Drop the act.

00:20:23One tear for me, and Richard gives me whatever I want.

00:20:27Even your daughter's little president title.

00:20:31He handed that over to my lily without a second thought.

00:20:35So, how did it feel?

00:20:38Richard made your daughter hand over her title to mine.

00:20:42Do you think Richard will still fawn over you once he sees your true colors?

00:20:50Or do you think he'll be disgusted?

00:20:52Like, like you swallowed a fly?

00:20:55You bitch.

00:20:56I'm just saying this to put you in your place.

00:21:01Get the hell out of here with your little brat, and never show your face to Richard again.

00:21:06Or I'll make you wish you were never even born.

00:21:09Got it?

00:21:12Yeah.

00:21:13Yeah, I get it.

00:21:15And since you're so fond of leftovers, you can have mine.

00:21:18Keep him.

00:21:19You.

00:21:22Don't think I don't see right through you.

00:21:25You're still hoping Richard cares.

00:21:27Dream on.

00:21:28What do you have that compares to me?

00:21:31I don't give a damn.

00:21:32But here's a warning.

00:21:34A goes around comes around, and one day you might get thrown out like trash.

00:21:42What's going on here?

00:21:50Evelyn.

00:21:53Richard, what are you doing here?

00:21:57When are you going to stop picking on Evelyn?

00:21:59Richard, you're mistaken about Zoe.

00:22:06We were just playing a little game.

00:22:08I just saw what happened.

00:22:11You're far too kind.

00:22:13Always making excuses back.

00:22:15I don't want you two fighting over me.

00:22:17It's all my fault.

00:22:19Maybe I should have just never started working here in the first place.

00:22:24Stop blaming yourself for other people's mistakes.

00:22:28Zoe, do you have something to say?

00:22:30Nothing.

00:22:32Just that you're blind.

00:22:35How dare you talk to me like that?

00:22:37Have I been too kind that you've forgotten your place?

00:22:39Not to mention the audacity of you to hang up on me this morning.

00:22:42Is that how a personal assistant does her job?

00:22:44If it weren't for Evelyn, I would have, cleaning up your mess, I would have lost billions.

00:22:49From now on, you're demoted.

00:22:50Back to being an entry-level employee.

00:22:57So, he probably didn't see my message.

00:22:59He must have been busy at work this morning.

00:23:02Richard, Zoe's really good at her job.

00:23:05How can you demote her over something so trivial?

00:23:08Show her mercy and let her stay?

00:23:11No matter how good she is at her job, it won't make up for her vile character.

00:23:16But still, if Zoe gets demoted, I can't help but feel guilty.

00:23:23Don't.

00:23:24If it weren't for you, I would have never seen how truly evil she is.

00:23:28But still...

00:23:30Evelyn, you're always putting everybody else first.

00:23:33Try thinking of yourself for once.

00:23:39What are you waiting for?

00:23:41Apologize to me.

00:23:42Now!

00:23:42Don't you ever get tired of this little act?

00:23:50I know I'm sick of it.

00:23:52Zoe, I know you're angry.

00:23:55Go ahead.

00:23:56Take it out on me.

00:23:57I won't blame you.

00:24:00As long as I'm here, you don't have to bow to anyone.

00:24:03But she's Zoe, your assistant.

00:24:08Even if she hits me or curses at me, I won't say a word.

00:24:14Richard, let's pretend this never happened.

00:24:17Show her mercy and let her stay.

00:24:20I already showed her mercy when I allowed her to keep her job.

00:24:29Spare me.

00:24:30I quit.

00:24:31She can take my place.

00:24:35Zoe!

00:24:36You've been here so long.

00:24:37How can you just up and leave like that?

00:24:40If you're really mad at me, go ahead and hit me.

00:24:44She wouldn't dare.

00:24:45She actually hit me?

00:24:53Zoe, are you crazy?

00:24:55How dare you hit her in front of me?

00:25:02Those two slaps are for my daughter.

00:25:05You crushed her pride at the open house.

00:25:08Even forcing her to give up her class president title to your daughter.

00:25:12You brought this on yourself.

00:25:15Zoe!

00:25:24Zoe!

00:25:25And that slap?

00:25:26That was for myself.

00:25:28You knew he was a married man and you still went after him.

00:25:31Nothing disgusts me more than a homewrecker.

00:25:34Like you.

00:25:37How can you say that about me?

00:25:39Oh, because it's true.

00:25:40You know better than anyone that he was married.

00:25:42And you still invited him over to your place.

00:25:45And you let him sneak into your bed at night.

00:25:48Evelyn, do you not know what shame is?

00:25:50It's not true.

00:25:52Richard and I, there's nothing between us.

00:25:55Zoe, I know you hate me.

00:25:57Fine.

00:25:58I'll leave.

00:25:59From now on...

00:26:00I have to stop the act.

00:26:02Okay?

00:26:04If you want my leftover so badly, take him.

00:26:09Be my guest.

00:26:11Just take the trash and keep it.

00:26:14Trash?

00:26:16What trash?

00:26:17Richard, I think there's a misunderstanding between me and Zoe.

00:26:22She barged in out of nowhere, called me a homewrecker, and then...

00:26:28Believe it or not, she said I could keep the trash.

00:26:32And by that she meant...

00:26:35She meant you.

00:26:36Zoe, have I been far too easy on you?

00:26:40Yeah.

00:26:41That's exactly what I thought.

00:26:43That I've been way too easy on you these last seven years.

00:26:55Seven years.

00:26:57Seven wasted years.

00:27:00Richard, running deals, breaking my back for your company, and for what?

00:27:04Zoe, hit me if you want, but please don't hurt Richard.

00:27:09What, do you think landing a few big deals makes you untouchable?

00:27:12That it gives you the right to act this cocky and be that disrespectful?

00:27:16Richard, please.

00:27:18It's my fault she ended up this way.

00:27:20Don't be angry with her.

00:27:22People like her only learn their lessons when you put them in their place.

00:27:28You two make me sick.

00:27:33Those two slaps were totally worth it.

00:27:36Finally, I've pushed you out.

00:27:38Zoe, always so high and mighty.

00:27:42Turns out, you ran straight into a brick wall.

00:27:46Serves you right.

00:27:53Call the project team.

00:27:55Zoe has to go over every point of data by herself.

00:27:59And if she doesn't finish by tonight, then she's out of the company.

00:28:02Mr. Harrington, this project's way too complex, and the database is massive.

00:28:09There's no way Zoe can finish it all tonight.

00:28:11Then make her work through the entire night.

00:28:14She's been slacking off and off as it is already.

00:28:16It's getting late.

00:28:27Zoe's probably still buried in work, learning her lesson.

00:28:35Mr. Harrington?

00:28:37Your coffee, sir?

00:28:39Is Zoe still working?

00:28:42She learned her lesson.

00:28:43Well, actually, she didn't come back here after this afternoon.

00:28:48What did you just say?

00:28:49She didn't return.

00:28:52Do you want me to go look for her?

00:28:56Don't bother.

00:28:58Zoe, playing games with me, huh?

00:29:01Fine.

00:29:02Let's see how long you can keep up the act.

00:29:04Ready, Amy?

00:29:09Let's go.

00:29:11I'm ready, Mom.

00:29:12From now on, things are going to get better for us.

00:29:14Right?

00:29:16I promise.

00:29:25Let's go.

00:29:26Let's go.

00:29:28Let's go.

00:29:29Let's go.

00:29:30Let's go.

00:29:34Let's go.

00:29:35Let's go.

00:29:48Call Zoe.

00:29:50Tell her to bring me in a cup of coffee.

00:29:55But Zoe hasn't shown up for work today either.

00:29:58Zoe's getting bolder every day.

00:30:04I have to show her who's the boss.

00:30:06Richard?

00:30:08Come in.

00:30:12Your coffee, exactly the way you like it.

00:30:15Why are you the one bringing me in?

00:30:21Why are you the one bringing it to me?

00:30:24Richard, what's wrong?

00:30:27I'm your personal assistant now.

00:30:29Of course, I'm the one bringing you coffee.

00:30:31Just put it down and leave.

00:30:38Richard?

00:30:39I found this amazing new restaurant.

00:30:42Tonight, we should take Lily and check it out together.

00:30:45I'm busy.

00:30:48But Lily's really excited to get dinner with us.

00:30:51Richard.

00:30:54Richard, are you feeling well?

00:30:56Should we go to the hospital?

00:31:02Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.

00:31:06Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.

00:31:10I wish you happiness.

00:31:11Richard, what's the matter?

00:31:22Trouble at work?

00:31:26Zoe!

00:31:27What's that supposed to mean?

00:31:29Are you out of your mind?

00:31:30Who do you think you are saying something like that?

00:31:33Your call is being transferred.

00:31:44Please leave your message after the tone.

00:31:47But now, Zoe's been gone for just one day and he's already losing it.

00:31:56Your call is being transferred.

00:31:58Richard, don't do that.

00:32:00I'm scared.

00:32:01Mind your own business.

00:32:03I'm leaving.

00:32:07Zoe, I can't have a single moment of peace while you're still alive.

00:32:18Damn it!

00:32:19I know that you're just jealous, Zoe.

00:32:26But throwing a temper tantrum?

00:32:34Fine.

00:32:35Fine.

00:32:37I'll make it up to you.

00:32:45I need you to pick up a cake and flowers for me now.

00:32:48Zoe!

00:32:58Zoe!

00:33:00I'm home!

00:33:04Are you happy now?

00:33:11Enough playing games, Zoe.

00:33:14Come down here now or I'm done playing nice.

00:33:17Zoe!

00:33:26Zoe!

00:33:28Zoe!

00:33:29My patience is wearing thin!

00:33:40Jerry, Leah's are coming back.

00:33:42I don't know.

00:34:12I've hardly ever been there for Amy, let alone playing with her.

00:34:42I don't know.

00:35:13Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes.

00:35:17Call me back, or we're getting a divorce.

00:35:19So, he still hasn't realized Amy and I have already left the country.

00:35:35Well, well, well.

00:35:42You said me.

00:35:44Thought you had some backbone.

00:35:46But here you are, crawling back to me already.

00:35:49So, if you can't even keep up the act, stop pretending.

00:35:58First you ran off with Amy, now you're calling me back.

00:36:01Pathetic.

00:36:02Richard, it's me.

00:36:10Why are you calling so late?

00:36:12What's wrong?

00:36:13I had a nightmare.

00:36:16I'm scared.

00:36:16Could you come keep me company?

00:36:19If you're scared, go find your daughter.

00:36:21Let Evelyn keep you company.

00:36:23But, Lily's too young.

00:36:26I just, I want you here.

00:36:29Please?

00:36:30I'm busy.

00:36:31Find somebody else.

00:36:32You're the only one I know.

00:36:34Fine.

00:36:35Zoe, you're the one who's pushing me away.

00:36:37You brought this on yourself.

00:36:38All right.

00:36:43I'm coming.

00:36:44I'll be waiting.

00:36:53Zoe, let's see how you compete with me.

00:37:03Huh?

00:37:08Hey, kiddo.

00:37:11You tired?

00:37:12You want to take a nap?

00:37:14No, not yet.

00:37:15Yeah, me neither.

00:37:17How about we get a little sweet treat before dinner?

00:37:21Great.

00:37:22Okay.

00:37:27Zoe, what's that supposed to mean?

00:37:30Are you out of your mind?

00:37:32Who do you think you are saying something like that?

00:37:34Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes.

00:37:37Call me back or we're getting a divorce.

00:37:39Ignoring my texts won't do you any good.

00:37:43Richard's coming over to see me now.

00:37:46Jealous much?

00:37:51If I were you, I'd disappear for good instead of playing hard to get just to make him chase you.

00:37:57I'm his first and only love.

00:37:59As long as I'm here, you don't stand a chance.

00:38:02So just give it up.

00:38:08Okay, so what are we ordering?

00:38:15Can we get brownies?

00:38:16Yes, of course we can get brownies.

00:38:18Okay, which one do you want?

00:38:19I have to keep making a fuss over the silly open house stuff.

00:38:37I'm so off of this.

00:38:42Dad!

00:38:47Stay safe.

00:38:48So, Zoe's upset just because I left her and Amy behind that day for Evelyn's daughter?

00:39:01Evelyn told me Lily was sick.

00:39:03So I rushed over to check.

00:39:05Turns out she was just hungry and whining for fried chicken.

00:39:07Lucy!

00:39:08Lily, take the phone.

00:39:13Richard, I'm sorry.

00:39:15You were meant to go home with Zoe and Amy and here you are with me and Lily.

00:39:21Don't worry.

00:39:22I'll apologize to her tomorrow.

00:39:24No, I'm happy to help.

00:39:25Richard, you're my lifesaver.

00:39:30If I took Amy out for fried chicken even just once, she'd be over the moon.

00:39:40Richard?

00:39:44Come in.

00:39:52Zoe's got a way better figure than her.

00:39:54And yet she'd never wear something so revealing.

00:40:00The clients are all here.

00:40:02Shareholders too.

00:40:04Let's go to the meeting.

00:40:08Let's go.

00:40:11Oh no.

00:40:12The client files.

00:40:13My daughter took them yesterday.

00:40:15She didn't scribble all over them, did she?

00:40:20No, it's fine.

00:40:22I'm pretty sure I put those files away.

00:40:24Hopefully before she got her hands on them.

00:40:27What's wrong?

00:40:29Uh, nothing.

00:40:31I just didn't get any sleep last night.

00:40:34Well, make sure you try to get to bed early tonight.

00:40:37I will.

00:40:44Richard!

00:40:44Long time no see.

00:40:46Mr. Anderson, pleasure's always.

00:40:48Please.

00:40:53I'm really looking forward to our collaboration.

00:40:56The whole industry is singing the phrases of the formidable Richard Harrington.

00:41:00Young, accomplished, and razor sharp.

00:41:03Who's this?

00:41:05Isn't Zoe supposed to be here?

00:41:07Don't tell me you found someone even better than her.

00:41:11She's on, um, other tasks at the moment.

00:41:14I see.

00:41:15Over the years, Zoe's always been top notch.

00:41:18If she weren't your assistant, I'd have snatched her up myself.

00:41:22Mr. Anderson, if you don't mind, let's cut to the chase down.

00:41:25Let's sign the contract.

00:41:28Of course.

00:41:34Richard, what the hell is this?

00:41:43Lily actually scribbled all over the contract?

00:41:47I'm so dead.

00:41:48I should have checked before handing it to Richard.

00:41:50Who drew this off?

00:41:55Do you have any idea what you've just done?

00:41:58Get me Zoe now.

00:41:59Zoe, she...

00:42:01Mr. Harrington, if this is how your company does business,

00:42:04then I don't see any reason to continue with this deal.

00:42:09I trusted Hamilton so much.

00:42:11And this is how she repays me?

00:42:14I'm sorry, Richard, I...

00:42:15Who are you to barge in here like this?

00:42:18I'm speaking to Mr. Harrington right now.

00:42:20Mr. Anderson, this is entirely my fault.

00:42:22I'll have a revised contract drawn up for you right away.

00:42:25And to show how sorry we are, I'd like to offer you an additional 3% discount.

00:42:28Looks are just a bonus in an assistant.

00:42:32What counts is competence.

00:42:36I see you've really outdone yourself with this extraordinary assistant, Mr. Harrington.

00:42:42I see you've really outdone yourself with this extraordinary assistant, Mr. Harrington.

00:42:53I don't get it.

00:42:54What was Mr. Harrington thinking?

00:42:56Letting go of Assistant Zoe just to keep the useless eye candy around?

00:43:00It's absurd.

00:43:02Everyone knows Zoe was the one that kept this place running.

00:43:04Mr. Harrington, I never expected you to humiliate me like this.

00:43:11There's no reason for us to continue this partnership.

00:43:15Mr. Anderson, this is all just one big, um...

00:43:18Misunderstanding.

00:43:20Misunderstanding?

00:43:21Come on.

00:43:21This just shows you were never serious about working with me.

00:43:25You didn't have to tarnish my name just to reject a deal.

00:43:29Throwing a picture over my name of a pig just to insult me?

00:43:33Is this how you treat your partners?

00:43:35We will never work together again.

00:43:39But what are we going to do now?

00:43:41Mr. Anderson is our biggest client.

00:43:43If we lose this partnership, we will lose billions.

00:43:47Richard, I'm sorry.

00:43:49I had no idea something like this could happen.

00:43:51What do I do?

00:44:00Zoe would never look at me like that.

00:44:02She's proud.

00:44:03Relentless.

00:44:04Always pushing for perfection.

00:44:06No matter how tough the job, she's never faltered.

00:44:09I'm like Evelyn.

00:44:11All tears and no backbone.

00:44:13Waiting for me to clean up her mess.

00:44:16If Zoe were here today, none of this would have happened.

00:44:19She's sharp.

00:44:20Capable.

00:44:22And Amy.

00:44:22She's a good kid.

00:44:23She'd never mess up my documents.

00:44:25Bring me Zoe.

00:44:27Where the hell is Zoe?

00:44:29Richard, please.

00:44:30Just...

00:44:31Leave.

00:44:33And from now on, stay out of company business.

00:44:37Richard, help me.

00:44:38Get up!

00:44:46Get ready for dinner tonight.

00:44:50You and me.

00:44:51And make sure to bring it.

00:44:52I'm like going off to our show.

00:45:03Zoe...

00:45:04Let's take Amy out for fried chicken tonight.

00:45:08Just the three of us.

00:45:09Richard, you need to sign these.

00:45:30Richard, you need to sign these.

00:45:34Just put them down and leave.

00:45:39Please, don't be upset.

00:45:41What happened today is entirely my fault.

00:45:44I'll make sure Lily behaves next time.

00:45:46I promise.

00:45:47No more trouble.

00:45:48Call me Mr. Harrington during work hours.

00:45:51I know I put you in as my personal assistant, but there still needs to be boundaries.

00:45:54Boundaries?

00:45:58Everyone knows I was his first and only true love.

00:46:01He completely doted on me.

00:46:03Even after he married Zoe, it was never out in the open.

00:46:07And now, he's talking about boundaries?

00:46:13Richard, don't you like me anymore?

00:46:17Why are you acting like this now?

00:46:21Evelyn's doing.

00:46:22She's not ready to be my personal assistant.

00:46:26Have her transferred to another department.

00:46:28Once she finally passes probation, bring her back.

00:46:36Richard, I know I messed up.

00:46:40I swear I won't let it happen again.

00:46:43Please, don't do this to me.

00:46:48This is a business, not a playground.

00:46:50If you can't handle the job, you'll be demoted.

00:46:54Zoe never once failed.

00:46:55She definitely didn't cry in front of me either.

00:46:58Fine.

00:47:00I understand.

00:47:06Zoe, why do you have to make my life a living hell even when you're gone?

00:47:11It looks like I have to take you out no matter what.

00:47:15I don't know.

00:47:16I don't know.

00:47:33Number 59?

00:47:37I didn't even know what Amy liked, so I just grabbed a little bit of everything.

00:47:47Figured this way, I can see which one she prefers.

00:48:00Amy!

00:48:01I brought you some fried chicken, honey.

00:48:03Come down and try it.

00:48:07These are Amy's drawings of her and Zoe.

00:48:22There isn't a single one of me in it.

00:48:24Uncle Richard, will you be my model?

00:48:40I don't have time for this.

00:48:41Zoe, where did you take Amy?

00:49:02I thought leaving Richard would break me, but I'd be drowning in heartbreak.

00:49:13But the truth is, the moment I finally walked away, not wasting my life waiting for someone who never loved me to come home,

00:49:21I felt lighter than ever, like I could finally breathe.

00:49:32No more dragging myself out of bed in the early morning to make him breakfast.

00:49:37No more choking down his cold, cutting words.

00:49:40Turns out, life without Richard feels pretty damn good.

00:49:45Good job, high five.

00:50:03Woo!

00:50:03Come here.

00:50:06Mom, we should have left Uncle Richard sooner.

00:50:19Richard never let Amy go to places like this.

00:50:22He said amusement parks were a waste of time.

00:50:25But now, I just want her to have fun.

00:50:29I'm going to give her back every bit of happiness he took away.

00:50:33Is it good?

00:50:34Yeah, really good.

00:50:35Cheers.

00:50:36Woo!

00:51:05Mr. Hattie!

00:51:22Bad news.

00:51:24What is it?

00:51:25Spit it out.

00:51:26The project Zoe's been handling?

00:51:28The client pulled out.

00:51:30They're canceling the deal.

00:51:31The whole thing's stuck.

00:51:32Then go find Zoe and have her handle it.

00:51:35Don't bother me with this.

00:51:37But, Mr. Harrington, call Zoe and bring her in and have her fix it.

00:51:43Let's see what excuse you'll find if you don't.

00:51:48Forget it.

00:51:49Call Zoe and have her come directly to my office.

00:51:52I want her to handle this personally.

00:51:55But, Mr. Harrington, Zoe's already resigned.

00:52:00We haven't been able to reach her since.

00:52:06Resigned?

00:52:06Who approved this?

00:52:08And why wasn't I informed?

00:52:11She...

00:52:11She said her husband works abroad.

00:52:14She's taken her daughter, Amy, to go join him.

00:52:17She put in her resignation.

00:52:19Why was I kept in the dark about something this important?

00:52:22Because you already demoted her to an entry-level position.

00:52:26By company policy, entry-level employees don't need your approval to resign.

00:52:30That's why no one informs you.

00:52:32Mr. Harrington, wait!

00:52:33What should we do now?

00:52:39Excuse me, sir.

00:52:41School's out.

00:52:42The kids have left already.

00:52:44Um, may I ask who you are?

00:52:46I'm here for Amy.

00:52:48Has she been coming to classes recently?

00:52:50Oh!

00:52:51Now I remember.

00:52:52You're Amy's dad.

00:52:54The one who walked right past his own wife and child

00:52:57and then went on to pretend he was someone else's father

00:53:00at Open House.

00:53:02Fuck, Amy, she's...

00:53:04Amy is one of the kindest and brightest kids I have ever taught.

00:53:08Everyone adores her.

00:53:10But, um, since Open House,

00:53:13rumors have been spreading like wildfire.

00:53:16And Amy's been suffering a lot.

00:53:19What rumors?

00:53:20Look, that's all nonsense.

00:53:21I have nothing to do with Lily's mother.

00:53:24Lily is not my daughter.

00:53:26Why are you telling me this now?

00:53:29Amy's already withdrawn from school

00:53:30and left with her mother.

00:53:33When?

00:53:34The day after Open House.

00:53:36Maybe I've been too harsh on them.

00:53:39Daddy, you're home!

00:53:41Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?

00:53:44How many times must I say this?

00:53:46She is never to call me Dad!

00:53:49I'm sorry, Uncle Richard.

00:53:51You don't have to like me.

00:53:55But Amy is your daughter.

00:53:56How could you hurt her like this?

00:53:58Look, if you really want to help your wife and kid,

00:54:02go find them.

00:54:05Here's their new address.

00:54:07So, what do you want Mommy to make you for dinner tonight?

00:54:21Pasta.

00:54:22Ooh, good idea.

00:54:23I love pasta.

00:54:25Finally, I found you.

00:54:27Zoe, we need to talk.

00:54:30Uncle Richard.

00:54:31He came after me?

00:54:34This is crazy.

00:54:36Come inside.

00:54:37I don't want to make a scene out here.

00:54:45So, you ran off with Amy

00:54:47and skipped the country just to get my attention.

00:54:51Now you have it.

00:54:52You happy?

00:54:53Can we go home now?

00:54:56Home?

00:54:57This is my home.

00:54:58Now, please leave.

00:55:02Richard.

00:55:03Richard, stop it.

00:55:05Don't you get it?

00:55:06Amy and I are done with you.

00:55:08And we never want to see you again.

00:55:09Quit the act.

00:55:11All right?

00:55:11We've been together for seven years.

00:55:14So, I'll cut you some slack.

00:55:16Come home now.

00:55:17And I'll pretend none of this ever happened.

00:55:22Zoe!

00:55:23Are you out of your mind?

00:55:25My mind's never been clear.

00:55:27I am done.

00:55:29Wasting my life on a cocky jerk like you.

00:55:32Let's get a divorce.

00:55:34Divorce?

00:55:37We're never getting a divorce.

00:55:39Not now.

00:55:40Not ever.

00:55:41Why not?

00:55:42Isn't Evelyn the one that you've always loved?

00:55:45Divorce me.

00:55:46And you can finally meet with her

00:55:47and live out the fantasy you've been chasing.

00:55:50All right, enough.

00:55:51All right.

00:55:52I get that you're jealous.

00:55:54Come home with me.

00:55:55And I promise I'll never see her again.

00:56:04Here.

00:56:06Divorce papers.

00:56:07Already signed.

00:56:08What the hell are you doing?

00:56:27I don't care what you signed.

00:56:30We're not getting a divorce, Zoe.

00:56:32And you're never going to leave me.

00:56:36Not now.

00:56:37Not at all.

00:56:39So.

00:56:40Oh.

00:56:41So now you can't let me go?

00:56:44What?

00:56:45Are you in love with me?

00:56:47Shut up.

00:56:47Oh.

00:56:49God.

00:56:50Roger.

00:56:52You really are in love with me.

00:56:57So it's true then.

00:57:00You do have feelings for me.

00:57:06Don't touch me.

00:57:08You make me sick.

00:57:09Are you crazy?

00:57:10I thought you were.

00:57:12That I was madly in love with you.

00:57:17Damn right I was.

00:57:19I gave you everything.

00:57:22But I'm not your pet.

00:57:25Richard.

00:57:26You took my love and you trampled all over it.

00:57:30And what?

00:57:31You think after everything that you've done,

00:57:34that just saying I love you would ever pull me back.

00:57:37And what makes you think that after everything you've done,

00:57:43I'm done with you.

00:57:45And I'm never going back.

00:57:52If you won't come back for me,

00:57:58then what about for our daughter?

00:58:01You really think that she's going to want to call you father after all of this?

00:58:05That doesn't matter.

00:58:08You're never going to have custody of her.

00:58:12If you leave now,

00:58:14you'll never see her again.

00:58:17You didn't really think that there now, did you?

00:58:24You disgust me!

00:58:26You don't even care about her!

00:58:28And now you want to think about taking her away from me?

00:58:30Of course I care.

00:58:35She's my daughter too.

00:58:37And I will get the best lawyer in the entire world

00:58:41to make sure that you can never run off with her again.

00:58:47You bastard!

00:58:48Come on with me, Zoe.

00:58:55I'll treat you right.

00:58:57We can be a family again.

00:58:59I promise I'll treat you right.

00:59:00Come on now, Zoe.

00:59:04You don't want your daughter to grow up without a mother in her, do you?

00:59:07Do you?

00:59:09Please don't touch my mom, Uncle Richard.

00:59:11What if you just call me Amy?

00:59:17Amy, I'm your dad.

00:59:20Mom, don't worry about me.

00:59:23Don't come back with Uncle Richard.

00:59:25I can take care of myself.

00:59:27I can take care of myself.

00:59:29Bye.

00:59:43I'll come back with you.

00:59:45That's about it.

00:59:46This time, I'll make it right.

00:59:55I promise.

00:59:57Amy.

00:59:59No matter what happens, I'll always be here for you.

01:00:18It's been two weeks since I came back.

01:00:22He hasn't called Evelyn once, and he even fired her.

01:00:26Honey.

01:00:33I'm home.

01:00:35Easy for you.

01:00:38It's too late, Richard.

01:00:40Stop wasting your time.

01:00:41You don't like this?

01:00:50Fine.

01:00:52What about this?

01:00:54Not to your taste, either.

01:00:57Well, just tell me what you like,

01:01:00and I'll have my assistant go and pick them up.

01:01:02What I want is to stay as far away from you as possible.

01:01:06Didn't I tell you to stop calling me?

01:01:22Richard, Evelyn tried to commit suicide.

01:01:25She cut her wrist because you won't come to see her.

01:01:28Come over to the hospital, please.

01:01:29She cut her wrist because you won't come to see her.

01:01:32Come over to the hospital, please.

01:01:34All right.

01:01:37I'm coming.

01:01:41Zoe, you bitch.

01:01:45I should have finished you off when I had the chance.

01:01:48But it doesn't matter now.

01:01:53Richard's coming.

01:01:56At the end of the day, it's me he loves the most.

01:02:02Richard, you're here.

01:02:08I'm sorry.

01:02:09I didn't mean to take my own life.

01:02:11I just, I missed you so much.

01:02:15Thank God you came.

01:02:20I knew, I knew you still cared.

01:02:22Look, I'm here to give you one final warning.

01:02:25Either you stop pestering me,

01:02:27or I'll have you sent over sex.

01:02:30Richard, you used to love me so much, remember?

01:02:33Didn't you even risk your own life to save me once?

01:02:36Love you?

01:02:38The woman I loved was kind,

01:02:41not a venomous snake, like you are now.

01:02:45What are you trying to say?

01:02:52Pathetic tricks.

01:02:54Time and time again.

01:02:57First you framed Zoe,

01:02:58now you're faking a suicide just to get my attention?

01:03:02What do you really think I wouldn't see right through you?

01:03:06Let me get this straight.

01:03:07The only woman I love is Zoe.

01:03:09You make me sick.

01:03:32Zoe, you bitch!

01:03:34I'll make you pay.

01:03:39Go to hell.

01:03:41If I can't have Richard, no one can.

01:03:44So, Amy, how was your day at school?

01:03:46Watch out!

01:03:46Richard, stay with me!

01:04:06Oh my God, somebody help!

01:04:07Zoe,

01:04:08you still have feelings for me.

01:04:11Dad, please, don't go to sleep.

01:04:13Please, I'll go to sleep, please.

01:04:17Tell me.

01:04:20You call me Dad again.

01:04:24If only I could turn back to him.

01:04:29We could be a family again.

01:04:30Richard!

01:04:41Richard.

01:04:42We've come to see you again.

01:04:44Evelyn has been sentenced.

01:04:46She's spent the rest of her life in jail.
