00:00:00Take it easy. Mr. Harrington, you should slow down.
00:00:22I 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.
00:00:47You, I might.
00:00:55I'll take care of you.
00:00:56I thought my dream had finally come true, until my daughter was born.
00:01:15That's when I realized, no matter how hard you try, you can never thaw a heart made of ice.
00:01:22It's been seven years, and I'm still haunted by that night.
00:01:29Every mistake I've made, it's all started with that dream.
00:01:34Mommy, did you have a bad dream?
00:01:37No, no, sweetheart. I'm, 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?
00:01:48Sweetheart, your daddy's true love is coming back.
00:01:52So we can't stay here anymore.
00:01:53But, he gave me the stuffed bunny tonight.
00:01:58If he didn't like me, why would he buy me a gift?
00:02:01Should 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?
00:02:10Daddy, you're home!
00:02:16Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?
00:02:19How many times must I say this?
00:02:21She is never to call me dad!
00:02:24I'm sorry, Uncle Richard.
00:02:32You don't have to like me, but Amy is your daughter.
00:02:35How could you hurt her like this?
00:02:37You're the one who climbed into my bed
00:02:39and used your pregnancy to trap me into a marriage.
00:02:45Is that your idea of not hurting your daughter?
00:02:48I've already explained it a thousand times.
00:02:51It only happened that night because you were...
00:02:53Enough!
00:02:54I don't want to hear it anymore.
00:02:56It's all my fault.
00:02:57Mommy, Uncle Richard.
00:03:00Please stop fighting.
00:03:04Who told you you could have this?
00:03:07Tell your daughter to keep her hands off of things that don't belong to her.
00:03:12So that's it.
00:03:13The gift was meant for his true love's daughter all along.
00:03:17Is Amy really that worthless in his eyes?
00:03:21Tell me, Amy.
00:03:24Amy, what if we leave Uncle Richard together?
00:03:29Will you come with Mommy?
00:03:31Can we stay?
00:03:33You say, but let me call him Dad once.
00:03:36He doesn't want us here.
00:03:38Mommy can take you away.
00:03:40Can we give Uncle Richard three more chances?
00:03:44If he really doesn't like us, we'll leave him.
00:03:46We're good.
00:03:48We're good.
00:03:51Okay.
00:03:56Richard Arrington, my daughter and I are giving you three more chances.
00:04:01After that, you'll have no place in our home.
00:04:04Ever.
00:04:04Zoe, are you really quitting the job?
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14Um, Amy's father is abroad, so I'm taking her to go.
00:04:19Join him.
00:04:19I know it must have been tough raising Amy alone.
00:04:31Zoe, did you see that?
00:04:33Mr. Harrington, our Iceberg CEO, is bringing someone with him for the first time ever.
00:04:39Evelyn York, she really is stunning.
00:04:49No 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.
00:04:57Who's that girl?
00:04:59She 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.
00:05:08Miss Evelyn York here will be joining us at the company
00:05:10and taking the position as my new personal assistant.
00:05:13Zoe, what are you going to do if she takes your place as his assistant?
00:05:17I'm leaving soon anyways.
00:05:19It's perfect timing for her to show up.
00:05:21I can't believe the Harrington Corp would just parachute someone in like that.
00:05:27Not just someone.
00:05:28She's that one.
00:05:31Wait, he's in Zoe, Mr. Harrington's personal assistant?
00:05:35And now Evelyn's here, so what does that mean for Zoe?
00:05:39Will she lose her job?
00:05:40I've been here for years, and this is the first time I've ever seen them drop someone in like this.
00:05:45Everyone else started from the bottom and worked their way up.
00:05:48Don't you guys think she looks kind of familiar?
00:05:50Haven't we seen her somewhere before?
00:05:52Wait, isn't she Mr. Harrington's first love?
00:05:56I heard they almost got married once, but she suddenly vanished, and Mr. Harrington's been drowning himself in booze over her ever since.
00:06:08Hi, everyone.
00:06:09I'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.
00:06:22What?
00:06:23Zoe worked herself to the bone, bringing in all those big clients to become the CEO's personal assistant.
00:06:29Exactly.
00:06:30Everyone can see how skilled Zoe is, and yet suddenly someone comes along and steals her position.
00:06:36It's so unfair.
00:06:37I feel so bad for Zoe.
00:06:39Come on.
00:06:40You're near here.
00:06:41Let me show you around.
00:06:42Richard, you've got so much work to do.
00:06:45I don't want to be a burden.
00:06:48Maybe Zoe could show me around?
00:06:56Actually, I've got a lot on my plate right now.
00:07:01Then forget it.
00:07:03Never mind.
00:07:04No, no.
00:07:05Show her around.
00:07:07It won't take too much of your time.
00:07:14Hi.
00:07:19This is the conference room.
00:07:21I've shown you everything you need to see.
00:07:25You get it now, don't you, Zoe?
00:07:27Zoe, no matter how hard you work, in Richard's heart, I'm the one that matters the most.
00:07:36What?
00:07:37Can't handle the truth?
00:07:41Well, he's just using you for pleasure.
00:07:46One call for me, and he flies overseas just to see me.
00:07:50Then I wish you two a lifetime of happiness, for as long as you both shall live.
00:07:55You're saying one thing and doing another, you think I don't see right through you, you two-faced slut.
00:08:06How else do you think you got pregnant?
00:08:09I almost feel sorry for your daughter.
00:08:13She's Richard's blood and yet he treats my daughter like she's his own.
00:08:19Do 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.
00:08:31What are you so afraid of?
00:08:34What am I afraid of?
00:08:36The one who should be afraid is you.
00:08:46Zoe!
00:08:47Zoe!
00:09:01Are you okay?
00:09:04I'm fine, Richard.
00:09:10Apologize.
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.
00:09:24The surveillance cameras are on. Why don't you check them before accusing me?
00:09:31Two chances left.
00:09:36Richard, I'm okay.
00:09:40Zoe's probably upset because I took her spot.
00:09:44It was just a slap.
00:09:46Don't start any drama over me.
00:09:48I can't just let this slide.
00:09:50She's already hit you once.
00:09:51Who knows what she'll do next time?
00:09:54I need to teach you a lesson.
00:09:57I'm tired of these little charades.
00:10:00I'm leaving.
00:10:00Excuse me.
00:10:03Zoe!
00:10:05If you walk out those doors, you'll be demoted to a junior assistant.
00:10:11Do whatever you want.
00:10:18Zoe's acting so differently.
00:10:20What's going on with her?
00:10:21What?
00:10:33Is 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.
00:10:48How did he know?
00:10:50Mr. Harrington.
00:10:53There must be some mistake.
00:10:55Zoe?
00:10:56Resign?
00:10:57That's impossible.
00:10:59That's right.
00:11:00She'd never leave me.
00:11:01She loves me too much.
00:11:03Richard.
00:11:05Please.
00:11:05Don't be so hard on Zoe.
00:11:07Will you come to my place tonight?
00:11:14I want to be with you.
00:11:16Whatever you want.
00:11:19You're so good to me.
00:11:22Spending the night at another woman's place while we're still married?
00:11:26Fine.
00:11:26Soon, you'll be free to spend every night with her.
00:11:39Mom!
00:11:40Amy!
00:11:42Mom, tomorrow is our open house.
00:11:44Can Daddy come?
00:11:47Seven years of marriage and not once has he come to Amy's school.
00:11:51Why would tomorrow be any different?
00:11:52I don't know.
00:11:52I don't know.
00:11:56Amy, I...
00:11:59Mom, all my classmates say I don't even have a dad.
00:12:02Let Daddy come just once.
00:12:04Please?
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07I'll text him.
00:12:11Amy's school has open house tomorrow.
00:12:13Any chance he could come?
00:12:19Mom, is Daddy too busy to come?
00:12:22I don't know, babe.
00:12:23Sorry.
00:12:24I get it.
00:12:25It's okay.
00:12:26Daddy's busy.
00:12:28I understand.
00:12:30Amy.
00:12:33Okay.
00:12:34I'll come.
00:12:35Amy, look.
00:12:36Daddy says I'll come.
00:12:37Yay!
00:12:37Daddy's finally coming to my school for me.
00:12:40Mommy, my teacher said I did really well at school this year, and I get to be class president
00:12:44this semester.
00:12:45If Daddy knew, maybe he'd start liking me, right?
00:12:50Please, just don't break Amy's heart this time.
00:12:54Mom, Daddy's really here.
00:12:59Mom, Daddy's really here.
00:13:03He really came.
00:13:06Let's go over to Daddy.
00:13:10Daddy!
00:13:10Daddy, what did you just call me?
00:13:13Daddy, what did you just call me?
00:13:17What did you just call me?
00:13:20Uncle Richard, you're sitting at the wrong desk.
00:13:23Mine's up front.
00:13:24It's the first time Dad actually kept his promise.
00:13:27I feel so happy.
00:13:28Daddy, this is my seat.
00:13:33Out of the way!
00:13:35This is my dad.
00:13:37So that's it.
00:13:38He came, but not for Amy.
00:13:41He came for Evelyn's daughter.
00:13:43Oh, Lily didn't mean it.
00:13:46I'm sorry.
00:13:47Zoe, you're going to the open house too, right?
00:13:50Wait, so where's her dad?
00:13:56My dad's a mercies.
00:13:58It's busy.
00:13:59I didn't want to bother him.
00:14:02Uncle Richard, Mom and I are leaving now.
00:14:05Excuse us.
00:14:07Usually, Amy clings to me no matter what.
00:14:10But today she's pulling away on her own.
00:14:13What's gotten into her?
00:14:14Mom, first he brought that woman to the company and took your spot.
00:14:24And now he shows up at school for some other kid.
00:14:27Dad only has one more chance left.
00:14:30What did I do to deserve this?
00:14:33Why does my daughter have to suffer?
00:14:35And there's nothing I can do to stop it.
00:14:38Welcome, parents.
00:14:40And thank you all for being here today.
00:14:42I'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?
00:14:53Quiet, please.
00:14:55I am thrilled to say that all of our pupils have been studying super hard this semester.
00:15:01However, there is one student who has gone above and beyond.
00:15:06And that is Amy Harrington.
00:15:10Congratulations, Amy.
00:15:11Amy, you have been elected as class president.
00:15:19Why does she get to be class president?
00:15:27Amy, would you like to come up here and say something to everyone?
00:15:30I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:15:36I don't really know what to say.
00:15:38Oh, Amy, you just need a little more confidence, but no worries.
00:15:43Let's carry on.
00:15:48Amy, don't worry.
00:15:51Mommy will always be with you.
00:15:53Don't be sad.
00:15:53Hey, what took you so long to get out today?
00:16:02You want to go home together today?
00:16:08By the way, Evelyn's daughter, Lily, she's a transfer student, right?
00:16:13Amy, so 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?
00:16:25Of course.
00:16:27Every gift comes with a price.
00:16:30Even this lollipop doesn't come for free.
00:16:32Okay, I'll go, Richard.
00:16:36Mom.
00:16:46Richard, help!
00:16:48Lily is sick.
00:16:49Can you come pick us up?
00:16:52Dad!
00:17:01Stay safe.
00:17:02This time, he didn't tell our daughter to call him uncle.
00:17:10But this would be the last time she'd ever call him dad.
00:17:29Richard, I'm done staying up all night.
00:17:32Waiting for you.
00:17:33Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.
00:17:40Mom, let's get ready to board the plane.
00:17:43Okay.
00:17:44Let's go.
00:17:46I wish you happiness.
00:17:48Again, if you are going to Chicago Midway,
00:17:50let's not put flight 8-8-2.
00:17:52You're delaying departure at 7-25.
00:17:54That flight will be departing out of gate number 15.
00:17:57Gate number 15.
00:17:58Maya?
00:17:59Zoe, please, you've got to help me.
00:18:12What?
00:18:12What's going on?
00:18:13You remember the project with Mr. Lawrence?
00:18:16We're in the final stages, but now he's heard you're leaving and refuses to sign.
00:18:20If Mr. Harrington finds out about this, I'm finished.
00:18:24Fired.
00:18:26Please.
00:18:26I'm begging you.
00:18:28It's not fair to let someone else take the fall for the mess I left behind.
00:18:33Okay.
00:18:34I'll be back right away.
00:18:35Thank you, Zoe.
00:18:37Thank you so much.
00:18:38Amy, Mommy just has one last thing she has to take care of, okay?
00:18:48We'll leave by tomorrow, I promise.
00:18:51Okay.
00:18:56Once I wrap things up with Mr. Lawrence and seal the deal,
00:19:00I can finally leave for good.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02Evelyn, this is my seat.
00:19:12Please move.
00:19:22This desk is closest to Richard.
00:19:24I'm his personal assistant now, so naturally, it belongs to me.
00:19:29Sorry.
00:19:30If you want this seat so badly, you can ask Richard for it.
00:19:34But for now, it's mine.
00:19:37Hate to break it to you, Zoe, but Richard already gave me this spot.
00:19:42He said a junior assistant like you doesn't deserve to sit here.
00:19:48See?
00:19:50Your things are moved over there.
00:19:54You must be boiling with jealousy, aren't you?
00:20:03Look at you.
00:20:04Pathetic.
00:20:05Clinging to your ego, pretending you don't care.
00:20:09Tell me, how did it feel when Richard took my daughter to the open house?
00:20:14That must have broken your heart, didn't it?
00:20:17Drop the act.
00:20:22One tear for me, and Richard gives me whatever I want.
00:20:27Even your daughter's little president title.
00:20:30He handed that over to my Lily without a second thought.
00:20:34So, how did it feel Richard made your daughter hand over her title to mine?
00:20:41Do you think Richard will still fawn over you once he sees your true colors?
00:20:48Or do you think he'll be disgusted?
00:20:51Like, like he swallowed a fly?
00:20:53You bitch.
00:20:55I'm just saying this to put you in your place.
00:20:59Get the hell out of here with your little brat, and never show your face to Richard again.
00:21:04Or I'll make you wish you were never even born.
00:21:07Got it?
00:21:11Yeah.
00:21:12Yeah, I get it.
00:21:13And since you're so fond of leftovers, you can have mine.
00:21:17Keep him.
00:21:17You.
00:21:20Don't think I don't see right through you.
00:21:23You're still hoping Richard cares.
00:21:26Dream on.
00:21:27What do you have that compares to me?
00:21:29I don't give a damn.
00:21:30But here's a warning.
00:21:31What goes around comes around, then one day you might get thrown out like trash.
00:21:46What's going on here?
00:21:48Evelyn.
00:21:52Richard, what are you doing here?
00:21:55When are you going to stop picking on Evelyn?
00:22:01Richard, you're mistaken about Zoe.
00:22:04We were just playing a little game.
00:22:07I just saw what happened.
00:22:09You're far too kind.
00:22:11Always making excuses back.
00:22:13I don't want you two fighting over me.
00:22:16It's all my fault.
00:22:18Maybe I should have just never started working here in the first place.
00:22:22Stop blaming yourself for other people's mistakes.
00:22:27Zoe, do you have something to say?
00:22:28Nothing.
00:22:30Just that you're blind.
00:22:33How dare you talk to me like that?
00:22:35Have I been too kind that you've forgotten your place?
00:22:38Not to mention the audacity of you to hang up on me this morning.
00:22:41Is that how a personal assistant does her job?
00:22:43If it weren't for Evelyn, I would have, cleaning up your mess, I would have lost billions.
00:22:47From now on, you're demoted.
00:22:49Back to being an entry-level employee.
00:22:50So, he probably didn't see my message.
00:22:58He must have been busy at work this morning.
00:23:00Richard, Zoe's really good at her job.
00:23:03How can you demote her over something so trivial?
00:23:07Show her mercy and let her stay?
00:23:09No matter how good she is at her job, it won't make up for her vile character.
00:23:14But, still, if Zoe gets demoted, I can't help but feel guilty.
00:23:21Don't.
00:23:22If it weren't for you, I would have never seen how truly evil she is.
00:23:27But, still.
00:23:28Evelyn, you're always putting everybody else first.
00:23:32Try thinking of yourself for once.
00:23:33What are you waiting for?
00:23:39Apologize to her.
00:23:40Now!
00:23:46Don't you ever get tired of this little act?
00:23:48I know I'm sick of it.
00:23:50Zoe, I know you're angry.
00:23:53Go ahead.
00:23:54Take it out on me.
00:23:56I won't blame you.
00:23:58As long as I'm here, you don't have to bother anymore.
00:24:01But, she's Zoe, your assistant.
00:24:06Even if she hits me or curses at me, I won't say a word.
00:24:12Richard, let's pretend this never happened.
00:24:16Show her mercy and let her stay.
00:24:21I already showed her mercy when I allowed her to keep her job.
00:24:27Spare me.
00:24:28I quit.
00:24:29She can take my place.
00:24:31Zoe, you've been here so long.
00:24:36How can you just up and leave like that?
00:24:38If you're really mad at me, go ahead and hit me.
00:24:42She wouldn't dare.
00:24:49She actually hit me?
00:24:51Zoe, are you crazy?
00:24:53How dare you hit her in front of me?
00:24:55Those two slaps are for my daughter.
00:25:03You crushed her pride at the open house.
00:25:07Even forcing her to give up her class president title to your daughter.
00:25:11You brought this on yourself.
00:25:16Zoe!
00:25:17Zoe!
00:25:17Zoe!
00:25:22Zoe!
00:25:22And that slap?
00:25:23That was for myself.
00:25:24That was for myself.
00:25:26You knew he was a married man and you still went after him.
00:25:29Nothing disgusts me more than a homewrecker.
00:25:32Like you.
00:25:35How can you say that about me?
00:25:37Well, because it's true.
00:25:38You know better than anyone that he was married.
00:25:40And you still invited him over to your place.
00:25:43And you let him sneak into your bed at night.
00:25:45Evelyn, do you not know what shame is?
00:25:48It's not true.
00:25:50Richard and I, there's nothing between us.
00:25:53Zoe, I know you hate me.
00:25:55Fine.
00:25:56I'll leave.
00:25:57From now on, I'll just drop the act.
00:26:00Okay?
00:26:02If you want my leftovers so badly, take them.
00:26:06Be my guest.
00:26:08Just take the trash and keep it.
00:26:12Trash?
00:26:14What trash?
00:26:15Richard, I think there's a misunderstanding between me and Zoe.
00:26:20She barged in out of nowhere, called me a homewrecker, and then...
00:26:26Believe it or not, she said I could keep the trash.
00:26:30And by that she meant...
00:26:33She meant you.
00:26:34Zoe, have I been far too easy on you?
00:26:38Yeah.
00:26:39That's exactly what I thought.
00:26:41That I've been way too easy on you these last seven years.
00:26:45Seven years.
00:26:55Seven wasted years.
00:26:57Richard, running deals, breaking my back for your company, and for what?
00:27:02Zoe, hit me if you want, but please don't hurt Richard.
00:27:07What, do you think landing a few big deals makes you untouchable?
00:27:09That it gives you the right to act this cocky and be that disrespectful?
00:27:14Richard, please.
00:27:16It's my fault she ended up this way.
00:27:18Don't be angry with her.
00:27:20People like her only learn their lessons when you put them in that place.
00:27:26You two make me sick.
00:27:27Those two slaps were totally worth it.
00:27:34Finally, I've pushed you out.
00:27:36Zoe, always so high and mighty.
00:27:40Turns out, you ran straight into a brick wall.
00:27:44Serves you right.
00:27:45Call the project team.
00:27:53Zoe has to go over every point of data by herself.
00:27:57And if she doesn't finish by tonight, then she's out of the company.
00:28:01Mr. Harrington, this project's way too complex, and the database is massive.
00:28:07There's no way Zoe can finish it all tonight.
00:28:09Then make her work through the entire night.
00:28:12She's been slacking off and off as it is already.
00:28:23It's getting late.
00:28:25Zoe's probably still buried in work, learning her lesson.
00:28:33Mr. Harrington?
00:28:35Your coffee, sir?
00:28:36Is Zoe still working?
00:28:40She learned her lesson.
00:28:41Well, actually, she didn't come back here after this afternoon.
00:28:46What did you just say?
00:28:47She didn't return.
00:28:50Do you want me to go look for her?
00:28:54Don't bother.
00:28:56Zoe, playing games with me, huh?
00:28:59Fine.
00:29:00Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:29:02Ready, Amy?
00:29:07Let's go.
00:29:09I'm ready, Mom.
00:29:10From now on, things are going to get better for us.
00:29:12Right?
00:29:14I promise.
00:29:23Let's go.
00:29:26See you.
00:29:26See you.
00:29:26See you.
00:29:27See you.
00:29:27See you.
00:29:28See you.
00:29:29See you.
00:29:30See you.
00:29:30See you.
00:29:31See you.
00:29:31See you.
00:29:32See you.
00:29:33See you.
00:29:46Call Zoe.
00:29:48Tell her to bring me in a cup of coffee.
00:29:53But Zoe hasn't shown up for work today either.
00:29:56Zoe's getting colder every day.
00:30:02I have to show her who's the boss.
00:30:04Richard?
00:30:07Come in.
00:30:10Your coffee?
00:30:11Exactly the way you like it.
00:30:13Why are you the one bringing me in?
00:30:15Richard?
00:30:16What's wrong?
00:30:16I'm your personal assistant now.
00:30:27Of course, I'm the one bringing you coffee.
00:30:29Just put it down and leave.
00:30:31Richard?
00:30:31I found this amazing new restaurant.
00:30:35Richard?
00:30:36I found this amazing new restaurant.
00:30:39Tonight we should take Lily and check it out together.
00:30:43I'm busy.
00:30:44But Lily's really excited to get dinner with us.
00:30:49Richard?
00:30:51Richard?
00:30:51Are you feeling well?
00:30:54Should we go to the hospital?
00:30:55Richard, I'm done staying up all night waiting for you.
00:31:04Next time you come home, the night lamp won't be on for you.
00:31:08I wish you happiness.
00:31:18Richard, what's the matter?
00:31:20Trouble at work?
00:31:21Zoe, what's that supposed to mean?
00:31:27Are you out of your mind?
00:31:28Who do you think you are saying something like that?
00:31:40Your call is being transferred.
00:31:42Please leave your message after the tone.
00:31:45But now, Zoe's been gone for just one day and he's already losing it.
00:31:51Your call is being transferred.
00:31:56Richard, don't do that.
00:31:58I'm scared.
00:31:59Mind your own business.
00:32:01I'm leaving.
00:32:05Zoe, I can't have a single moment of peace while you're still alive.
00:32:16Damn it!
00:32:21I know that you're just jealous.
00:32:24Zoe, but throwing a temper tantrum?
00:32:31Fine.
00:32:33Fine.
00:32:35I'll make it up to you.
00:32:43I need you to pick up a kick in flowers for me now.
00:32:45I need you to pick up a kick in flowers for me now.
00:32:45Zoe, I'm home.
00:33:01Are you happy now?
00:33:09Enough playing games, Zoe.
00:33:11Zoe, come down here now, or I'm done playing nice.
00:33:23Zoe!
00:33:25Zoe!
00:33:27My patience is wearing thin!
00:33:28She really isn't going back.
00:33:58I've hardly ever been there for Amy, let alone playing with her.
00:34:03I've never been there for Amy, let alone playing with her.
00:34:07I've hardly ever been there for Amy, let alone playing with her.
00:34:37I've hardly ever been there for you.
00:35:07Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes.
00:35:14Call me back, or we're getting a divorce.
00:35:28So, he still hasn't realized Amy and I have already left the country.
00:35:32Well, well, well.
00:35:39You said me.
00:35:41Thought you had some backbone.
00:35:43But here you are, crawling back to me already.
00:35:50So, if you can't even keep up the act, stop pretending.
00:35:55First you ran off with Amy, now you're calling me back.
00:35:58Pathetic.
00:36:00Richard, it's me.
00:36:07Why are you calling so late?
00:36:09What's wrong?
00:36:09I had a nightmare.
00:36:12I'm scared.
00:36:13Could you come keep me company?
00:36:16If you're scared, go find your daughter.
00:36:18Let Evelyn keep you company.
00:36:20But, Lily's too young.
00:36:23I just, I want you here.
00:36:25Please?
00:36:27I'm busy.
00:36:27Find somebody else.
00:36:28You're the only one I know.
00:36:31Fine.
00:36:32Zoe, you're the one who's pushing me away.
00:36:34You brought this on yourself.
00:36:38Alright.
00:36:40I'm coming.
00:36:41I'll be waiting.
00:36:50Zoe.
00:36:52Let's see how you compete with me.
00:37:00Huh?
00:37:04Hey, kiddo.
00:37:08Are you tired?
00:37:09You want to take a nap?
00:37:10No, not yet.
00:37:12Yeah, me neither.
00:37:14How about we get a little sweet treat before dinner?
00:37:18Great.
00:37:19Okay.
00:37:24Zoe, what's that supposed to mean?
00:37:27Are you out of your mind?
00:37:28Who do you think you are saying something like that?
00:37:31Zoe, I'll give you ten minutes.
00:37:33Please, call me back or we're getting a divorce.
00:37:36Ignoring my texts won't do you any good.
00:37:40Richard's coming over to see me now.
00:37:43Jealous much?
00:37:48If I were you, I'd disappear for good instead of playing hard to get just to make him chase you.
00:37:54I'm his first and only love.
00:37:56As long as I'm here, you don't stand a chance.
00:37:59So just give it up.
00:38:03Okay, so what are we ordering?
00:38:11Can we get brownies?
00:38:13Yes, of course we can get brownies.
00:38:15Okay, which one do you want?
00:38:16I have to keep making a fuss over the silly open house stuff.
00:38:34I am so off of this.
00:38:39Dad!
00:38:44Stay safe.
00:38:44So, Zoe's upset just because I left her and Amy behind that day for Evelyn's daughter?
00:38:57Evelyn told me Lily was sick.
00:38:59So I rushed over to check.
00:39:01Turns out she was just hungry and whining for fried chicken.
00:39:03Easy.
00:39:04Lily, take it slow.
00:39:06Richard, I'm sorry.
00:39:11You were meant to go home with Zoe and Amy and here you are with me and Lily.
00:39:16Don't worry.
00:39:18I'll apologize to her tomorrow.
00:39:20No, no.
00:39:21I'm happy to help.
00:39:22Richard, you're my lifesaver.
00:39:26If I took Amy out for fried chicken even just once,
00:39:29she'd be over the moon.
00:39:36Richard?
00:39:40Come in.
00:39:48Zoe's got a way better figure than her.
00:39:51And yet she'd never wear something so revealing.
00:39:56The clients are all here.
00:39:58They're shareholders too.
00:40:00Let's go to the meeting.
00:40:04Let's go.
00:40:07Oh no.
00:40:08The client files.
00:40:09My daughter took them yesterday.
00:40:11She did scribble all over them, did she?
00:40:16No, it's fine.
00:40:17I'm pretty sure I put those files away.
00:40:20Hopefully before she got her hands on them.
00:40:22What's wrong?
00:40:25Uh, nothing.
00:40:27I just didn't get any sleep last night.
00:40:30Well, make sure you try to get to bed early tonight, then.
00:40:33I will.
00:40:39Richard.
00:40:40Long time no see.
00:40:42Mr. Anderson.
00:40:43Pleasure's always.
00:40:44Please.
00:40:44I'm really looking forward to our collaboration.
00:40:51The whole industry is singing the phrases of the formidable Richard Harrington.
00:40:56Young, accomplished, and razor sharp.
00:41:00Who's this?
00:41:01Isn't Zoe supposed to be here?
00:41:03Don't tell me you found someone even better than her.
00:41:05She's on, um, other tasks at the moment.
00:41:10I see.
00:41:11Over the years, Zoe's always been top notch.
00:41:14If she weren't your assistant, I'd have snatched her up myself.
00:41:18Mr. Anderson, if you don't mind, let's cut to the chase, though.
00:41:22Let's sign the contract.
00:41:24Of course.
00:41:24Richard, what the hell is this?
00:41:39Lily actually scribbled all over the contract?
00:41:43I'm so dead.
00:41:44I should have checked before handing it to Richard.
00:41:46Who drew this up?
00:41:51Do you have any idea what you've just done?
00:41:54Get me Zoe now.
00:41:55Zoe, she...
00:41:56Mr. Harrington, if this is how your company does business,
00:42:00then I don't see any reason to continue with this deal.
00:42:04I trusted Hamilton so much, and this is how she repays me?
00:42:09I'm sorry, Richard, I...
00:42:11Who are you to barge in here like this?
00:42:13I'm speaking to Mr. Harrington right now.
00:42:16Mr. Anderson, this is entirely my fault.
00:42:18I'll have a revised contract drawn up for you right away,
00:42:20and to show how sorry we are,
00:42:21I'd like to offer you an additional 3% discount.
00:42:24Looks are just a bonus in an assistant.
00:42:28What counts is competence.
00:42:32I see you've really outdone yourself
00:42:34with this extraordinary assistant, Mr. Harrington.
00:42:42I see you've really outdone yourself
00:42:45with this extraordinary assistant, Mr. Harrington.
00:42:49I don't get it.
00:42:49What was Mr. Harrington thinking?
00:42:51Letting go of Assistant Zoe
00:42:53just to keep the useless eye candy around?
00:42:56It's absurd.
00:42:57Everyone knows Zoe was the one
00:42:58that kept this place running.
00:43:02Mr. Harrington,
00:43:03I never expected you to humiliate me like this.
00:43:07There's no reason for us to continue this partnership.
00:43:11Mr. Anderson, this is all just one big...
00:43:13I'm...
00:43:14Misunderstanding.
00:43:15Misunderstanding?
00:43:16Come on.
00:43:17This just shows you were never serious about working with me.
00:43:20You didn't have to tarnish my name just to reject a deal.
00:43:23Drawing a picture over my name of a pig
00:43:27just to insult me?
00:43:29Is this how you treat your partners?
00:43:31We will never work together again.
00:43:35What are we going to do now?
00:43:37Mr. Anderson is our biggest client.
00:43:39If we lose this partnership,
00:43:40we will lose billions.
00:43:43Richard, I'm sorry.
00:43:44I had no idea something like this could happen.
00:43:47What do I do?
00:43:55Zoe would never look at me like that.
00:43:57She's proud.
00:43:59Relentless.
00:43:59Always pushing for perfection.
00:44:01No matter how tough the job,
00:44:03she's never faltered.
00:44:05I'm like Alilun.
00:44:07All tears and no background.
00:44:09Waiting for me to clean up her mess.
00:44:11If Zoe were here today,
00:44:13none of this would have happened.
00:44:14She's sharp.
00:44:16Capable.
00:44:17And Amy, she's a good kid.
00:44:19She'd never mess up my documents.
00:44:21Bring me Zoe.
00:44:23Where the hell is Zoe?
00:44:24Richard, please.
00:44:26Just...
00:44:26Leave.
00:44:29And from now on,
00:44:30stay out of company business.
00:44:33Would you help me?
00:44:33Get out!
00:44:44Get ready for dinner tonight.
00:44:46You and me.
00:44:47And make sure to bring it in.
00:44:53I'm not going off to our show.
00:44:58Zoe.
00:44:59Um...
00:45:00Let's take Amy out for fried chicken tonight.
00:45:03Just the three of us.
00:45:04Richard.
00:45:25Richard.
00:45:28Richard, you need to sign these.
00:45:30Just put them down and leave.
00:45:34Please, don't be upset.
00:45:37What happened today is entirely my fault.
00:45:40I'll make sure Lily behaves next time.
00:45:42I promise.
00:45:43No more trouble.
00:45:44Call me Mr. Harrington during work hours.
00:45:46I know I put you in as my personal assistant,
00:45:48but there still needs to be boundaries.
00:45:51Boundaries?
00:45:51Everyone knows I was his first and only true love.
00:45:57He completely doted on me.
00:45:59Even after he married Zoe,
00:46:00it was never out in the open.
00:46:02And now, he's talking about boundaries?
00:46:08Richard.
00:46:10Don't you like me anymore?
00:46:13Why are you acting like this now?
00:46:17Evelyn's still in.
00:46:18She's not ready to be my personal assistant.
00:46:20Have her transferred to another department.
00:46:24Once she finally passes probation,
00:46:27bring her back.
00:46:31Richard.
00:46:33I know I messed up.
00:46:35I swear I won't let it happen again.
00:46:38Please.
00:46:40Don't do this to me.
00:46:43This is a business,
00:46:45not a playground.
00:46:46If you can't handle the job,
00:46:48you'll be demoted.
00:46:48Zoe never once failed me.
00:46:51She definitely didn't cry in front of me either.
00:46:53Fine.
00:46:56I understand.
00:47:02Zoe,
00:47:03why do you have to make my life a living hell
00:47:06even when you're gone?
00:47:07Looks like I have to take you out
00:47:09no matter what.
00:47:10number 59.
00:47:32I didn't even know what Amy liked,
00:47:40so I just grabbed a little bit of everything.
00:47:43Figured this way,
00:47:43I can see which one she prefers.
00:47:56Amy,
00:47:56I brought you some fried chicken, honey.
00:47:58Come down and try it.
00:47:59these are Amy's drawings.
00:48:16The pairings over.
00:48:18There isn't a single one of me in it.
00:48:19Uncle Richard,
00:48:33will you be my model?
00:48:36Oh, you'll have time for this.
00:48:37Zoe,
00:48:56where did you take Amy?
00:48:58Amy,
00:48:58Zoe,
00:48:58where did you take Amy?
00:49:00I thought leaving Richard would break me,
00:49:06that I'd be drowning in heartbreak.
00:49:09But the truth is,
00:49:10the moment I finally walked away,
00:49:12not wasting my life waiting for someone
00:49:15who never loved me to come home,
00:49:17I felt lighter than ever,
00:49:19like I could finally breathe.
00:49:21No more dragging myself out of bed in the early morning
00:49:31to make him breakfast.
00:49:32No more choking down his cold,
00:49:34cutting words.
00:49:36Turns out,
00:49:38life without Richard feels pretty damn good.
00:49:41How good is that?
00:49:42You look like us.
00:49:43Let's go.
00:49:44You look like us.
00:49:45Wow,
00:49:46so happy we do.
00:49:46You hurt us.
00:49:47Let's go.
00:49:48High five.
00:49:49Whoo!
00:49:50Come here.
00:49:50Come here.
00:49:51Come here.
00:49:51Come here.
00:49:52We've been here.
00:49:52Mom, we should have left Uncle Richard sooner.
00:50:15Richard never let Amy go to places like this.
00:50:18Said amusement parks were a waste of time.
00:50:21But now, I just want her to have fun.
00:50:25I'm going to give her back every bit of happiness he took away.
00:50:29Is it good?
00:50:30Yeah, really good.
00:50:31Cheers.
00:50:32Woo!
00:50:51Mr. Henson!
00:50:57Bad news!
00:51:01Mr. Henson!
00:51:04Bad news!
00:51:06What is it?
00:51:07Spit it out!
00:51:08The project Zoe's been handling?
00:51:11The client pulled out.
00:51:13They're canceling the deal.
00:51:14The whole thing's stuck.
00:51:15Then go find Zoe and have her handle it.
00:51:17Don't bother me with this.
00:51:18But, Mr. Henson, call Zoe and bring her in and have her fix it.
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:24Let's see what excuse you'll find if you don't.
00:51:27Forget it.
00:51:28Call Zoe and have her come directly to my office.
00:51:31I want her to handle this personally.
00:51:33But, Mr. Harrington, call Zoe and bring her in and have her fix it.
00:51:39Let's see what excuse you'll find if you don't.
00:51:44Forget it.
00:51:45Call Zoe and have her come directly to my office.
00:51:48I want her to handle this personally.
00:51:52But, Mr. Harrington, Zoe's already resigned.
00:51:56We haven't been able to reach her since.
00:52:01Resigned?
00:52:03Who approved this and why wasn't I informed?
00:52:07She...
00:52:08She said her husband works abroad.
00:52:11She's taken her daughter, Amy, to go join him.
00:52:13She put in her resignation.
00:52:15Why was I kept in the dark about something this important?
00:52:18Because you already demoted her to an entry-level position.
00:52:22By company policy, entry-level employees don't need your approval to resign.
00:52:26That's why no one informs you.
00:52:28Mr. Harrington, wait!
00:52:29What should we do now?
00:52:35Excuse me, sir.
00:52:37School's out.
00:52:38The kids have left already.
00:52:40Um...
00:52:41May I ask who you are?
00:52:42I'm here for Amy.
00:52:44Has she been coming to classes recently?
00:52:46Oh!
00:52:47Now I remember.
00:52:48You're Amy's dad.
00:52:50The one who walked right past his own wife and child and then went on to pretend he was someone else's father.
00:52:56At Open House.
00:52:58Look, Amy, she's...
00:52:59Amy is one of the kindest and brightest kids I have ever taught.
00:53:04Everyone adores her.
00:53:06But, um...
00:53:07Since Open House, rumors have been spreading like wildfire.
00:53:11And...
00:53:12Amy's been suffering a lot.
00:53:14What rumors?
00:53:15Look, that's all nonsense.
00:53:17I have nothing to do with Lily's mother.
00:53:20Lily is not my daughter.
00:53:22Why are you telling me this now?
00:53:24Amy's already withdrawn from school and left with her mother.
00:53:28When?
00:53:29The day after Open House.
00:53:31Maybe I've been too harsh on them.
00:53:35Daddy, you're home!
00:53:36Is she too dumb to understand my words or is it you?
00:53:39How many times must I say this?
00:53:42She is never to call me dad.
00:53:46I'm sorry, I'm going to be kidding me.
00:53:49You don't have to like me.
00:53:51But Amy is your daughter.
00:53:52How could you hurt her like this?
00:53:54Look, if you really want to help your wife and kid, go find them.
00:53:59Here's their new address.
00:54:15So what do you want mommy to make you for dinner tonight?
00:54:17Pasta.
00:54:18Ooh, good idea.
00:54:19I love pasta.
00:54:21Finally, I found you.
00:54:23Zoe, we need to talk.
00:54:26Uncle Richard.
00:54:29He came after me?
00:54:30This is crazy.
00:54:32Come inside.
00:54:33I don't want to make a scene out here.
00:54:41So, you ran off with Amy and skipped the country just to get my attention.
00:54:47Now you have it.
00:54:49You happy?
00:54:50Can we go home now?
00:54:52Home?
00:54:53This is my home.
00:54:56Now, please leave.
00:54:59Richard.
00:55:00Richard, stop it.
00:55:01Don't you get it?
00:55:02Amy and I are done with you.
00:55:04And we never want to see you again.
00:55:06Quit the ass.
00:55:07Alright?
00:55:08We've been together for seven years.
00:55:11So I'll cut you some slack.
00:55:12Come home now.
00:55:14And I'll pretend none of this ever happened.
00:55:19Zoe!
00:55:20Are you out of your mind?
00:55:21My mind's never been clear.
00:55:23I am done wasting my life on a cocky jerk like you.
00:55:27Let's get a divorce.
00:55:29Divorce?
00:55:30We're never getting a divorce.
00:55:34Not now.
00:55:35Not ever.
00:55:36Why not?
00:55:38Isn't Evelyn the one that you've always loved?
00:55:41Divorce me and you can finally meet with her and live out the fantasy you've been chasing.
00:55:46Alright, enough.
00:55:47Alright, I get that you're jealous.
00:55:50Come home with me and I promise I'll never see her again.
00:55:54Here.
00:56:02Divorce papers.
00:56:03Already signed.
00:56:04What the hell are you doing?
00:56:23I don't care what you signed.
00:56:26We're not getting a divorce, Zoe.
00:56:28And you're never going to leave me.
00:56:31Not now.
00:56:32Not.
00:56:33Ever.
00:56:34So.
00:56:35Oh.
00:56:36So now you can't let me go?
00:56:39What?
00:56:40Are you in love with me?
00:56:42Shut up.
00:56:43Oh.
00:56:44God.
00:56:45Roger.
00:56:46You really are in love with me.
00:56:49So it's true then.
00:56:54You do have feelings for me.
00:56:57Don't touch me.
00:56:58You make me sick.
00:56:59Are you crazy?
00:57:00I thought you were.
00:57:01That I was madly in love with you.
00:57:02Damn right I was.
00:57:03I give you everything.
00:57:04But I'm not your pet.
00:57:05Richard.
00:57:06Richard.
00:57:07You took my love and you trampled all over it.
00:57:12And what?
00:57:13You think after everything that you've done that just saying I love you would ever pull me
00:57:19back.
00:57:20And what makes you think that after everything you've done I'm done with you and I'm never
00:57:26going back.
00:57:27going back.
00:57:28If you won't come back for me then what about for our daughter?
00:57:30No.
00:57:31No.
