00:00:00Oh, yes, Preston.

00:00:07Oh, Preston.

00:00:11Preston.

00:00:13Preston.

00:00:16Sorry, what were you saying, Father?

00:00:18I said, are you planning to attend our little celebration next week?

00:00:22Yes, you must come.

00:00:24Everyone will expect you to be there.

00:00:26I'm busy next week.

00:00:28But...

00:00:28Next week?

00:00:30It's the anniversary of my mother's death.

00:00:33I'm sure Father has forgotten.

00:00:35After all, it was one year ago.

00:00:37Don't speak that way in front of your stepmother.

00:00:40It's all right, darling.

00:00:43I'll get it.

00:00:53You.

00:00:55Oh, Emily, you're finally here.

00:00:57Preston, this is Emily, your new stepsister.

00:01:04Preston.

00:01:07You're late.

00:01:08Okay, I know, I know.

00:01:09I'm sorry.

00:01:09I will not keep covering for you.

00:01:11You said that the last time.

00:01:14Besides, I finished my photography portfolio.

00:01:17Oh, finally.

00:01:18I thought you'd never finish.

00:01:19I wanted it to be perfect.

00:01:21Perfect doesn't pay the bills.

00:01:23But it will.

00:01:24Okay.

00:01:24Until then, take this tray.

00:01:27These little finger foods aren't going to serve themselves.

00:01:32Preston.

00:01:33Nice to meet you.

00:01:34Who is he?

00:01:37He looks like a total tool.

00:01:39Shh.

00:01:39I wouldn't say that too loudly.

00:01:41This is his house.

00:01:42It's very nice.

00:01:43In his party.

00:01:44Hey, about time you made an appearance.

00:01:50Sorry, I was on a business call.

00:01:52I would love to see all of your hard work finally paying off, but it's time to take this

00:01:56all in, my friend.

00:01:58After Flatter goes public, this is going to be our lives every single night.

00:02:03Look who just arrived.

00:02:06You can't escape me tonight, Preston.

00:02:09I take it you invited her.

00:02:12Just protecting my investment.

00:02:14Don't remind me.

00:02:15Hey, you're the youngest CEO and owner to take a company public.

00:02:19That makes an already skeptical market even more nervous.

00:02:22It's important to project stability.

00:02:26I know.

00:02:27Yeah, which means that until the IPO, you and Cassie are the perfect, happy couple.

00:02:34Then what?

00:02:36After.

00:02:37It doesn't matter what or who you do.

00:02:39After, you and by the transit of property, I will be very, very rich.

00:02:47Thanks.

00:02:53Oh, hell no.

00:02:57Hello?

00:02:58Did you hear what I said?

00:03:00We're going to be rich.

00:03:01Filthy rich.

00:03:02I mean, this could be your chance to get in on the ground floor, if you know what I mean.

00:03:06Shut up.

00:03:07Dylan, I see you're still preying on common carry-in.

00:03:13Guilty.

00:03:15Cassie.

00:03:16Didn't know you were coming tonight.

00:03:18I'm full of surprises.

00:03:21You can go now.

00:03:23Go serve your cheese elsewhere.

00:03:24Shoot.

00:03:25I knew you wanted to get me alone.

00:03:31No.

00:03:32Just to remind you that we are not a couple.

00:03:35But, Preston...

00:03:36Nope.

00:03:37We...

00:03:37We're only keeping the charade up until the IPO goes through.

00:03:41So remember,

00:03:42you're not my girlfriend.

00:03:44Where are you going?

00:03:51To my room.

00:03:52I didn't want to host this party.

00:04:02Eavesdrop much?

00:04:03Ugh.

00:04:04You don't even have manners.

00:04:05Where did Preston go?

00:04:09He's not feeling well.

00:04:12He needs to be down here showing his face.

00:04:13I know.

00:04:16It's so much worse.

00:04:17I don't know why.

00:04:17Deep breaths.

00:04:19Actually, don't worry.

00:04:20I've got just the plan to keep him in line.

00:04:23He needs to be reminded that I'm not just someone to be tossed aside.

00:04:26Uh, yes.

00:04:32How can I help you?

00:04:33I need you to bring a bottle of champagne and two glasses up to the host's room.

00:04:38My job only includes doing catering for the party.

00:04:41If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford, I suggest you do what I say.

00:04:45Uh, sure.

00:04:53Okay.

00:04:56Shit.

00:05:03Hi, Mom.

00:05:04I am at work.

00:05:05Can I call you back later?

00:05:06Honey, I got married.

00:05:08You what?

00:05:09Father?

00:05:11Son, I'm calling to tell you that I got married.

00:05:14What?

00:05:16Excuse me?

00:05:17That's right.

00:05:19Are you serious?

00:05:21Of course I am.

00:05:22Okay, but Mom, last, last time was...

00:05:26Listen, this time it's for real.

00:05:28What the hell were you thinking?

00:05:31Mom died less than a year ago.

00:05:33Your mother would want me to be happy.

00:05:35Why don't you?

00:05:36I'm calling to tell you to stay home tomorrow.

00:05:40Why?

00:05:41So you can meet my new wife, of course.

00:05:44So will you come?

00:05:46Okay.

00:05:48Wonderful.

00:05:48We have something nice planned.

00:05:50I want you to be there.

00:05:52Okay.

00:05:53Great.

00:05:54Yeah, I gotta go.

00:05:55Bye, sweetie.

00:06:19If you want to be paid by Mr. Langford, I suggest you do what I say.

00:06:25Hello?

00:06:34Is anybody...

00:06:38No.

00:06:52Shit, shit.

00:06:54Shit.

00:06:54Um, hello?

00:07:03Um, I am so, so sorry.

00:07:16Beautiful woman on her knees in my bedroom.

00:07:18I see no reason to apologize.

00:07:24I'm going to finish cleaning all this up, I promise.

00:07:32Preston, Linford, how dare you cheat on me?

00:07:35And with the help, this is going to ruin your IPO.

00:07:40What the fuck?

00:07:43Where is she?

00:07:45What makes you think I'm cheating on you?

00:07:47We're such a happy couple.

00:07:49I, um, I heard...

00:07:53Well, it doesn't matter who told me, you are!

00:07:57Look!

00:07:59Someone dropped this off in my room without me knowing.

00:08:03I would thank them if I knew who did it.

00:08:05And the girl who brought it up here?

00:08:08Left.

00:08:09So should you.

00:08:11No!

00:08:12Goodbye.

00:08:13Preston, stop.

00:08:13Thank you for stopping by.

00:08:14No, I'm not leaving.

00:08:15Yes, you are.

00:08:15Preston, stop.

00:08:16Bye-bye.

00:08:17No, Preston.

00:08:18Bye-bye.

00:08:18Preston!

00:08:19Preston!

00:08:23I'm so sorry about all this again.

00:08:33Guess I should be going.

00:08:35I'm afraid I can't allow that.

00:08:39What do you mean?

00:08:41I know, Cassie.

00:08:43Whatever drama she's stirring up needs to settle.

00:08:45Well, I'm guessing she's probably hanging around outside the room for a while.

00:08:50But what are we supposed to do in the meantime?

00:08:54Hmm.

00:08:55That's a good question.

00:08:57If only...

00:08:59Oh, look.

00:09:01Champagne.

00:09:06You're in a towel.

00:09:09Well, you're right.

00:09:10I should probably take it off.

00:09:11No, I...

00:09:11All right.

00:09:16You're still...

00:09:17You're still just wearing a towel.

00:09:22Then imagine I have a bathing suit on underneath.

00:09:24But you don't.

00:09:26Then imagine I don't.

00:09:29Cheers.

00:09:32Cheers.

00:09:32You know, that bottle cost more than my first car.

00:09:42Your first car probably tasted better.

00:09:45You don't have to drink it.

00:09:47No.

00:09:49I am willing to try something different tonight.

00:09:55Can I ask you something?

00:09:57Sure.

00:09:58Why do you pretend to be with her?

00:10:00I saw you guys arguing downstairs at the party.

00:10:05It's complicated.

00:10:08Yeah, I get it.

00:10:10Just a big, important businessman with big, important businessman problems.

00:10:15You're right.

00:10:16Let's just say my cheating act isn't where I want to give my attention to right now.

00:10:20How's the champagne?

00:10:30It's growing on me.

00:10:31My turn to ask you something.

00:10:34All right.

00:10:41What's your name?

00:10:42Oh, Preston.

00:10:55This is Emily, your stepsister.

00:10:57I told her to fly.

00:10:59Mom.

00:11:00But she wouldn't accept money for a plane ticket.

00:11:02I don't need any help.

00:11:03I can take care of myself.

00:11:05Really?

00:11:06She's so stubborn.

00:11:07Family.

00:11:08Am I right?

00:11:09Best behavior, Emily.

00:11:16Darling, look who just arrived.

00:11:19You must be Emily.

00:11:21Your mother has told me so much about you.

00:11:23That's nice.

00:11:24I just found out about you yesterday.

00:11:26What a kidder.

00:11:29Preston, why don't you show Emily around the house?

00:11:33That's a wonderful idea.

00:11:34First, you should show your stepsister in the room.

00:11:38We are all one big happy family now.

00:11:47Fine?

00:11:48Mm-hmm.

00:11:49Fine?

00:11:50Mm-hmm.

00:11:51Follow me.

00:11:52Okay.

00:11:53Okay.

00:12:01Just slow down.

00:12:02That's not what you said the other night, sis.

00:12:08Asshole.

00:12:17My mom.

00:12:19She's beautiful.

00:12:21Was.

00:12:23She was beautiful.

00:12:26I'm sorry.

00:12:27I'm sorry.

00:12:32It really was a beautiful photograph of your mom.

00:12:42It really captured her joy.

00:12:46Yeah.

00:12:48I'm a photographer myself, actually.

00:12:50Or that's the dream, at least.

00:12:52To own my own studio.

00:12:53But for now, I am just taking photos in between passing hors d'oeuvres.

00:13:01That's why you didn't tell me your name.

00:13:04You knew who I was.

00:13:06You knew who my family is.

00:13:08Wanted to, I don't know, secure yourself to me like your mother did to my father?

00:13:11What?

00:13:11No.

00:13:12No, no.

00:13:13Of course not.

00:13:14Seems a little too convenient if you ask me.

00:13:15I had no idea who you were when we, well, you know, just.

00:13:23I bet this is you and your mother's game.

00:13:27No.

00:13:27Preston, you've got it all wrong.

00:13:29I don't think so.

00:13:31Listen to me.

00:13:33I don't need you messing everything up.

00:13:36Preston, I.

00:13:36Stay out of my way.

00:13:40Don't fuck up my business.

00:13:41Preston, that.

00:13:53You got C.

00:13:54Zoe.

00:13:56OMG, tell me everything.

00:13:57Who was the guy your mom married?

00:13:58Is he better than the guy that believed opera was amended by aliens?

00:14:01Yeah, he's okay, but.

00:14:03Hey, Zoe, do you remember that guy I hooked up with at that catering event we worked?

00:14:09Oh, Mr. Hot Moneybags?

00:14:11Yeah, what about him?

00:14:12He is my new stepbrother.

00:14:18Zoe?

00:14:21Hey, did you hear what I said?

00:14:24Yeah, yeah, I heard.

00:14:26That's why my jaw is on the floor.

00:14:29You gotta admit, that's kinda hot.

00:14:32No, it's not.

00:14:33No, he is a jerk, okay?

00:14:36He thinks this is some plan I have with my mom to get at his family's money.

00:14:41Ugh, give the guy a break.

00:14:42I'm sure he thinks all women are after his money.

00:14:45Yeah, but I'm not.

00:14:46I know that.

00:14:47Give him time and he will too.

00:14:49How do you know that?

00:14:50Because I know you.

00:14:51And money is the last thing you're interested in when dating.

00:14:55Thanks, C.

00:14:55So you're gonna hook up with him again?

00:14:59What?

00:15:01I know, the fact that it's taboo makes it so much hotter.

00:15:05Plus, he's right down the hall.

00:15:06He's my stepbrother.

00:15:09That's not enough.

00:15:10Hello?

00:15:21Are you still there?

00:15:22Yeah.

00:15:23Yeah, I gotta go.

00:15:27Oh, what am I gonna do?

00:15:30I can't be falling for my stepbrother.

00:15:32Oh, my God, it's you.

00:15:43Cassie, meet Emily, my stepsister.

00:15:47Well, I guess it's true what they say.

00:15:50Anything can happen.

00:15:52You know, I'm not really hungry.

00:15:54I think I'm hungry.

00:15:55Oh, no, no.

00:15:56You must stay.

00:15:58We were just talking about the investors' gala.

00:16:00Weren't we, darling?

00:16:01I came over to set up the house for the event and photo shoot.

00:16:06It's all about Preston going public with his company as the youngest CEO.

00:16:11It's sure to be quite the event.

00:16:13Exactly.

00:16:14That's why I insisted you come out as soon as possible.

00:16:18I'm sure I could find something useful for you to do at the party.

00:16:21Maybe serving drinks.

00:16:23Oh, that was just a temporary job.

00:16:26Right, sweetie?

00:16:27Oh.

00:16:28Oh, that's right.

00:16:30You're a part of the family now.

00:16:33I can't help but look at you and think you're the help.

00:16:40Emily is a part of this family now.

00:16:43So I suggest you watch what you're saying.

00:16:46I didn't mean to offend you.

00:16:51It was just an honest observation.

00:16:53I mean, you said it yourself.

00:16:55She's a part of the family now.

00:16:57Don't you want her to fit in?

00:16:58I just want Emily to be able to attract a good man.

00:17:02Well, that might be a little bit of a stretch.

00:17:06I mean, I wouldn't say serving drinks is a career.

00:17:11And what respectable man would want that long term?

00:17:15Right, Preston?

00:17:16You know, I'm good where I'm at.

00:17:19No, you're not.

00:17:21Cassie is right.

00:17:22If you want to move up in life, you need help.

00:17:26Lawrence, can't you find her a position at one of your companies?

00:17:29No, no, you don't.

00:17:31Oh, I'm sure I could find something.

00:17:34But perhaps she'd be a better fit at yours, Preston.

00:17:38No, she wouldn't be a better fit at my company.

00:17:45She probably doesn't even have the proper work experience.

00:17:47Excuse me.

00:17:48Yeah.

00:17:49Hi.

00:17:50Yeah, it's me, the one whose life you're talking about right now.

00:17:53How about we all stop making decisions about me like I'm not even here?

00:17:58We are only trying to help.

00:18:01Yeah, I'm good.

00:18:03Thanks.

00:18:05I am just looking out for you like I always have.

00:18:08Always.

00:18:09Always.

00:18:12Look, maybe if you could be more like Cassie and, you know, find a man who could take care of you, provide for you, you know, like Preston.

00:18:28I'm sorry, it's just the thought of her with Preston. It's ridiculous.

00:18:33I don't want to offend you. It's just, he's your stepbrother. It would be wrong.

00:18:40I don't mean Preston himself. I just mean a man with money. You know, who could pay for your little photographs.

00:18:47I don't know how many times I have to go over this with you, Mom. Hey, I don't need anyone else's money. I, I make my photography happen for myself.

00:18:58So I don't need you, or anyone else, or some guy to give me money. Unlike some people at this table.

00:19:07Emily.

00:19:09And that's for Preston?

00:19:09If he wasn't my so-called stepbrother, I wouldn't go near him, let alone be with him.

00:19:19No, leave me alone.

00:19:29What are you mad at me for? I'm not the one that...

00:19:32No, you didn't say it, but you sure didn't defend me, did you?

00:19:37I didn't mean to...

00:19:38Weren't you the one who said, I need to stay out of your way?

00:19:43I... didn't exactly...

00:19:45Yes, you did.

00:19:46You're right, I did. I'm sorry.

00:19:52It's just because I really need an angel investor to agree to a deal.

00:19:56And if people found out about me and my stepsister, you know...

00:20:00Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.

00:20:04God, that night was a mistake.

00:20:06It should never happen.

00:20:09You know what better yet?

00:20:12You never have to see me again.

00:20:14I'm leaving.

00:20:15What?

00:20:19I'm gonna go.

00:20:20For good this time.

00:20:21No more fighting with my mother.

00:20:23You're free to handle your important deal without me in the way.

00:20:29I was never meant to be a part of this world.

00:20:31I need you to do something for me.

00:20:46Thanks.

00:20:47I'll send it over today.

00:20:51What are you doing?

00:20:52I know something is going on between you and Emily.

00:20:56She's your stepsister, Preston.

00:20:58I know that.

00:20:59And I am your girlfriend.

00:21:01You are not my girlfriend.

00:21:03I am.

00:21:05If you want your father to think you're a good boy,

00:21:07I know what this gala and this company means to you.

00:21:11Without me by your side,

00:21:13investors flee.

00:21:15The business fails.

00:21:16You'll be an embarrassment.

00:21:18And then you'll never be able to get out from under your father's control.

00:21:23It's your choice.

00:21:25Either me and all your dreams of success.

00:21:29Or nothing.

00:21:32Come on.

00:21:34Let's feed things up.

00:21:34You need to behave and come down and finish your breakfast.

00:21:48Hello?

00:21:51Yes, this is Emily Monroe.

00:21:55You serious?

00:21:56Uh, um, yes.

00:22:02No, no, no.

00:22:02Yes, I am.

00:22:03I'm incredibly interested.

00:22:05Mm-hmm.

00:22:07I can be there later today.

00:22:09Yeah.

00:22:11Thank you so much.

00:22:12Yeah.

00:22:19Hmm.

00:22:22Preston.

00:22:23And strawberry for my favorite billionaire.

00:22:26Stop.

00:22:34Oh, Emily.

00:22:37I heard you say you were leaving.

00:22:40I'm so sorry to hear that.

00:22:42But it's for the best.

00:22:45It's not like you fit in.

00:22:47We didn't want you to feel like you were out of place.

00:22:49Or an outsider.

00:22:50Actually, I think I'll stay a little while.

00:22:55What?

00:22:56I have an interview at a photography studio.

00:22:59Really?

00:23:00Yeah.

00:23:01The owner saw my work on Instagram, liked it, and then decided to reach out.

00:23:05Crazy.

00:23:06Right?

00:23:07Honey, that's wonderful.

00:23:09Well, I think congratulations are in order.

00:23:12So, the interview is actually this afternoon, and I don't exactly have a ride, so I was wondering

00:23:21if one of you could give me a ride.

00:23:23I can take her.

00:23:27Oh, what?

00:23:29Afraid to be alone with me?

00:23:31You know, if you wanted to spend more time with me, all you had to do was ask.

00:23:38You offered to drive me.

00:23:40I just wanted to be there for my stepsister.

00:23:45You seem so desperate.

00:23:48I don't exactly have a car.

00:23:50I need a big, strong man to drive me.

00:23:52It's not what I said.

00:23:57You seem so nervous.

00:24:01Victor is a world-renowned photographer.

00:24:04I mean, this might be my one chance.

00:24:08I really need this.

00:24:13Not that you'd understand.

00:24:15I mean, you've had everything handed to you your whole life.

00:24:18You'd be surprised.

00:24:22Thank you for the ride.

00:24:26What are you doing?

00:24:28Opening the door for you.

00:24:30What a gentleman.

00:24:47Good luck.

00:24:52Why did I do that?

00:25:05Uh-huh.

00:25:06Mm-hmm.

00:25:07Yeah, that's crap.

00:25:09Shit, lady.

00:25:11Oh, Jesus.

00:25:17Oh, you can't save it.

00:25:19Oh, you can't save it.

00:25:22I want you to come work for me.

00:25:27Seriously?

00:25:29Yeah.

00:25:30I'd love that.

00:25:32Yeah, great.

00:25:33Can you, um, start tomorrow?

00:25:35Yeah, absolutely.

00:25:37I can.

00:25:39I actually might have a family thing.

00:25:45You might?

00:25:46Oh, that's funny.

00:25:47I thought I was just offering you your dream job,

00:25:49so just let me know.

00:25:49You are.

00:25:50It is.

00:25:51It is.

00:25:52Yeah.

00:25:52I mean, if it's not that important to you,

00:25:53there are plenty of other people that would want the job.

00:25:55No, it is very important to me.

00:25:56Very important.

00:25:57I can make it work.

00:25:58Yeah.

00:25:59No.

00:25:59Good.

00:26:00You know, because I don't usually take on apprentices.

00:26:02I tend to find them lazy.

00:26:05I promise people work really hard.

00:26:08Good.

00:26:09Of course.

00:26:11Look.

00:26:13If you're going to work for me,

00:26:15you're going to do what I say.

00:26:17Whatever I say.

00:26:22Mm-hmm.

00:26:26Oh, that's not the correct spoon for that.

00:26:30Don't let me stop you.

00:26:35I'd be lost without you.

00:26:37So much of this is so new to me.

00:26:40It all happened rather suddenly, didn't it?

00:26:43Must feel like such a whirlwind for you and Emily.

00:26:45Emily is able to adapt well.

00:26:48Is she dating anyone?

00:26:50Not really.

00:26:51Why do you ask?

00:26:52Oh, just curious.

00:26:55Well, as far as I know, she doesn't date much.

00:26:57Her photography is the most important thing to her.

00:27:00And if anything got in the way of that,

00:27:02it would really upset her.

00:27:05Good to know.

00:27:07I'm sorry?

00:27:08Oh, um, nothing.

00:27:12Just wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her in that way.

00:27:19How'd it go?

00:27:20Pretty good.

00:27:22You know, Victor is...

00:27:24Well, he's...

00:27:25Victor is what?

00:27:27Victor is intense.

00:27:29I mean, he's the kind of man who thinks that

00:27:31because he's a genius,

00:27:32gives him the right to behave however he wants.

00:27:35What do you mean?

00:27:37He didn't say or do anything inappropriate, did he?

00:27:39No, no.

00:27:40Um, I think he just wanted to make sure

00:27:42I was serious about the job.

00:27:44I'm sure he gets a lot of fangirls

00:27:45that want to come in and waste his time.

00:27:50Oh, I didn't order this.

00:27:52I did.

00:27:55I thought we could celebrate you getting the job

00:27:57by taking you out for a drink.

00:28:01Taking me out?

00:28:01Is this a date?

00:28:08No.

00:28:09No, it's not a date.

00:28:11You're my...

00:28:12step-sibling.

00:28:14That would be weird.

00:28:15Yeah.

00:28:16Right?

00:28:17Mm-hmm.

00:28:19It's not a date.

00:28:20Mm-mm.

00:28:20No.

00:28:21It's just a platonic sit-down

00:28:23between a step-brother and a step-sister.

00:28:25Nothing more to celebrate you getting the job.

00:28:29How'd you know I would get the job?

00:28:36Uh, obviously you would.

00:28:39I mean, you're so talented.

00:28:44I mean, it feels really good

00:28:46to have my work recognized, you know?

00:28:47And to know that I got the job

00:28:49because of my skill and my ability,

00:28:51not because of anyone else.

00:28:54Right.

00:28:55I mean, you'd probably feel the same too, right?

00:28:57What do you mean?

00:28:59Mm-hmm.

00:29:00Your company's about to go public,

00:29:01a company you built on your own

00:29:03without your dad's help.

00:29:05If this were a date,

00:29:07I'd be pretty impressed.

00:29:11Well, good thing it's not a date.

00:29:14Good thing.

00:29:16Yeah.

00:29:16Well, I just gotta get through this IPO

00:29:26without any scandals,

00:29:42and I'll be okay.

00:29:45Well,

00:29:47to no scandals.

00:29:49No scandals.

00:29:53If we're trying to avoid scandal,

00:29:56do you think this is a little dangerous?

00:29:58I said no scandals.

00:30:00I didn't say no danger.

00:30:01Okay, wait.

00:30:05Don't move.

00:30:13Okay.

00:30:22Well, let me see.

00:30:23No, no, no.

00:30:26It's not digital,

00:30:27so you're gonna have to wait.

00:30:28This isn't a date.

00:30:36Obviously not.

00:30:38Obviously not.

00:30:39Mm-hmm.

00:30:40But if this were a date...

00:30:43Yeah.

00:30:45This would be the moment

00:30:46I want to kiss you.

00:30:48And this would be the moment

00:30:50I'd let you.

00:30:51Yeah.

00:30:58Oh, shit.

00:31:00Uh...

00:31:01Dude,

00:31:04are you on a date

00:31:05with your stepsister?

00:31:07I have to take this.

00:31:09Is everything okay?

00:31:11Yeah.

00:31:12I'll just tell you about it at home.

00:31:14I'll get a ride share.

00:31:16Thanks.

00:31:17Are you insane?

00:31:19Going on a date

00:31:20with your stepsister?

00:31:21It's not a date.

00:31:22Uh, sure looks like one.

00:31:24Are you having me followed?

00:31:29Obviously.

00:31:30Like I said before,

00:31:31I'm protecting my investment.

00:31:33This is not a date.

00:31:35All right?

00:31:37All right, look.

00:31:38Yes, it may look like a date,

00:31:40but the truth is...

00:31:42I don't care about what the truth is.

00:31:43I only care about what it looks like.

00:31:45Why?

00:31:45Because everyone else

00:31:46only cares about what it looks like.

00:31:47Perception is everything.

00:31:49I know.

00:31:50Do you?

00:31:51Because I have a photo here

00:31:52that says you have no idea.

00:31:54I'm coming over there.

00:31:56Look, you don't have to come here.

00:31:58Yes, I do.

00:31:59Because someone has to make sure

00:32:00you don't fuck your stepsister.

00:32:02And in turn,

00:32:03fuck over this company.

00:32:06Dylan.

00:32:09Oh, Emily.

00:32:10Come over and lend us a hand.

00:32:12Oh, I don't know.

00:32:14Please.

00:32:14I want to hear all about your interview.

00:32:16Oh, well.

00:32:17It was for an apprentice

00:32:18for a pretty famous photographer.

00:32:19Oh, wow.

00:32:22When do you hear back

00:32:23about the position?

00:32:24He actually gave me

00:32:26the job on the spot.

00:32:27Really?

00:32:28Mm-hmm.

00:32:28Oh, that's wonderful.

00:32:30Yeah.

00:32:31Wow.

00:32:32So, that means you'll stay?

00:32:36Yeah, for a little bit at least.

00:32:38Well, if he's so famous,

00:32:40then what's his name?

00:32:41Maybe I've heard of him.

00:32:43Victor Ward.

00:32:44Hmm.

00:32:45I think I have heard of him.

00:32:48He has quite the reputation around here.

00:32:50Come here.

00:32:51What do you have, like,

00:33:1310 other bathrooms in this place?

00:33:17What was that?

00:33:18Don't you have, like,

00:33:1910 other bathrooms in this place?

00:33:24We do?

00:33:26This one has better company.

00:33:32Oh.

00:33:35Got a little, uh...

00:33:36WXY and you've got Zine.

00:33:50Hey, Zoe, it's me.

00:33:51Oh, it's the brother lover.

00:33:54Ugh, okay, that is gross.

00:33:56It's not my fault

00:33:57you've got the Hotsbury stepbrother.

00:33:59Can we talk about something else, please?

00:34:01You still haven't denied it.

00:34:02So, I am calling you from my new job.

00:34:06New job?

00:34:07Hey, that's amazing.

00:34:08Yeah, it's with Victor Ward.

00:34:10He's absolutely brilliant.

00:34:12Ward?

00:34:13Yeah.

00:34:14You heard of him?

00:34:15Uh, I have, actually.

00:34:17Em, listen.

00:34:18Please tell me you're not on your phone

00:34:21on your first day in my studio.

00:34:23Please tell me I'm not saying that.

00:34:25I am so sorry.

00:34:29I assumed that since I had gotten here early,

00:34:31it might be okay

00:34:32because I hadn't clocked in yet.

00:34:33Oh, oh, that's so great.

00:34:34Oh, my God.

00:34:34I'm so sorry.

00:34:35I'm so sorry.

00:34:35I should have been thinking about your feelings.

00:34:37What was I doing?

00:34:38Okay, you know what?

00:34:39I'm going to take a little break, all right?

00:34:40Just, just, just hold on a sec.

00:34:44Have we clocked in now?

00:34:46Yeah?

00:34:46Okay, great.

00:34:47Okay.

00:34:48Tell you what.

00:34:48Here we go.

00:34:49Now, you're going to take all these,

00:34:52you're going to organize them by date and subject, okay?

00:34:56Let that sink in.

00:34:57Do me a favor,

00:34:58try to ease off the phone breaks, all right?

00:35:00I'll see you in a little bit.

00:35:02All right.

00:35:14Well, don't tell me that you're done already.

00:35:18Wow.

00:35:19Oh, star for you.

00:35:22Well, then, call me a miracle worker because I am done.

00:35:27Oh, yeah.

00:35:32It's just one box,

00:35:34and I'm actually going to need you to organize all of the boxes.

00:35:40So, why don't you handle that,

00:35:45and I'm going to go to lunch.

00:35:49Okay?

00:35:50I'll see you in a bit.

00:35:51Okay.

00:35:52Toodaloo.

00:35:59Nice work.

00:36:00I usually give new apprentices pretty menial tasks on their first day,

00:36:05just to see if they'll stick around.

00:36:07You're best.

00:36:08Thank God.

00:36:09I really would do anything for this opportunity.

00:36:14Well, that's great to hear.

00:36:15What do you say we go out and, you know, discuss what else you're willing to do for me over a drink?

00:36:20Normally, that would work, but like I said yesterday, I have a family thing tonight.

00:36:30You know, it's kind of important.

00:36:31Oh, well, I'm kind of important.

00:36:37Yeah, but it's my stepbrother's company's event.

00:36:40They're just finalizing all the arrangements.

00:36:42It's important I'm there.

00:36:43You understand, right?

00:36:45I mean, I know that this job is important to you.

00:36:48At least, you know, that's what you told me.

00:36:52You were telling me the truth, right?

00:36:54Mm-hmm.

00:36:56This job is important to you.

00:36:58It is.

00:36:59And I would do anything for you, but...

00:37:03And I've already done everything you've asked, and you said I've done a great job.

00:37:08True.

00:37:09I guess you just have to ask yourself, what else are you willing to do for it?

00:37:15Please let go.

00:37:17Well, just think about it.

00:37:19Why don't you clean up the rest of the stuff, then you can go.

00:37:23Oh, Preston.

00:37:28Victor?

00:37:31Thank you for meeting me, so last minute.

00:37:35Sure.

00:37:40I need to talk to you about Emily.

00:37:44Okay.

00:37:45You know, oh, no, you were right.

00:37:48Talent through the roof.

00:37:50Um, but, uh...

00:37:52She's been rather resistant, uh, to my creative process.

00:38:01No way.

00:38:02I don't know how.

00:38:04Shit.

00:38:05Listen, I need an assistant who is solely focused on me, my work, my studio, the space.

00:38:13I just...

00:38:14This is the opportunity of a lifetime, okay?

00:38:19I need you to understand that.

00:38:21And, uh, she's just breezing through it.

00:38:24Uh, and I'm...

00:38:25I'm...

00:38:26I usually get what I want.

00:38:31I'll go talk to her.

00:38:34Just...

00:38:35Get her head on straight.

00:38:39You know, otherwise, her career might be over before it's even begun.

00:38:47Oh.

00:38:50Emily.

00:38:52Hey, what happened?

00:38:55Hey.

00:38:55Listen, I talked to Victor.

00:39:01He said you weren't a, quote, team player.

00:39:04But I know how committed you are.

00:39:07And you've worked hard for it.

00:39:09He asked me if I would go get drinks with him.

00:39:14And when I said no, he...

00:39:17He touched me and...

00:39:20I'm gonna kill that bastard.

00:39:22No, I can...

00:39:23I can handle it.

00:39:24Just quit, all right?

00:39:27You can get a better job.

00:39:27I can't.

00:39:29Listen, I can't.

00:39:31I mean, this is the closest I have ever come to becoming a professional photographer.

00:39:36And if I want to run my own studio, this is a really good step.

00:39:40There has to be another way.

00:39:43I mean, without this job, I might as well move back to L.A.

00:39:45No.

00:39:46Look, you don't have to do that, all right?

00:39:48You can keep living with my father, and I'll even cover your living expenses.

00:39:52Absolutely not.

00:39:52No, I...

00:39:54I earned this job on my own.

00:39:57Hey?

00:39:58It wasn't handed to me, and I...

00:39:59I am going to keep it on my terms.

00:40:03I would rather be homeless than live off of some man's money.

00:40:08Listen.

00:40:10Are you busy?

00:40:11What?

00:40:12I know we have to leave soon, but...

00:40:15I don't know if I could show you something.

00:40:17Uh, sure.

00:40:18I'm sorry.

00:40:20I totally interrupted what you were going to say.

00:40:22They can wait.

00:40:24I'm pretty sure you're about to show me how talented you are.

00:40:27You have no idea.

00:40:30Come on.

00:40:30Preston and I were supposed to go over some things with the event coordinator for the gala.

00:40:39Do you know where he is?

00:40:40Uh, he went to pick up Emily from work.

00:40:43And they should have returned already.

00:40:46I swear that boy needs to be managed.

00:40:50I'll find out what's going on.

00:40:55He's with her.

00:40:57Are you sure?

00:40:59Then do it.

00:41:09Wow.

00:41:11You took all these?

00:41:13Sure did.

00:41:15These are so good.

00:41:18Really.

00:41:19I'm so impressed.

00:41:22Then get excited because I have an extra special surprise for you.

00:41:28Oh?

00:41:32For you.

00:41:34Oh.

00:41:35What did you think I was going to get you?

00:41:39Nothing.

00:41:41Open it.

00:41:41It's the photograph I took of you in the cafe.

00:41:43Well, yeah, actually, um, actually, uh, can you open it when I'm not here?

00:41:55I'm a little embarrassed.

00:41:57Just open it tonight.

00:41:59Whatever you want.

00:42:01I'll do it.

00:42:04Do you want to help me develop one?

00:42:06Sure.

00:42:07And now you're going to take the tongs and flip it.

00:42:14Okay.

00:42:15Mm-hmm.

00:42:17And we'll flip it to the other side.

00:42:25And now it's ready.

00:42:28You can take it out.

00:42:30Okay.

00:42:31Mm-hmm.

00:42:31And then you'll hang it right there.

00:42:38How long do we let it dry for?

00:42:40Okay.

00:42:45Dylan, what the hell are you doing here?

00:42:47What am I doing here?

00:42:48What are you doing here?

00:42:49You may have ruined Emily's photos.

00:42:51Don't give a shit about her pointless hobby.

00:42:53Hey!

00:42:53I'm going to let you two just...

00:42:55Wait.

00:42:58Uh, Preston, the investors' gala is tomorrow night in case you forgot.

00:43:02Why the fuck are you wasting your time here?

00:43:05You need to get your priorities in order.

00:43:07I didn't forget, and my priorities are just fine.

00:43:10Not from where I'm standing.

00:43:11Does any of this even matter to you anymore?

00:43:16Of course it matters.

00:43:21Honestly, it hasn't felt like that recently.

00:43:22Emily, stop second-guessing my dedication to my company.

00:43:26Are you serious?

00:43:27Ever since Emily and her stupid mother showed up, you have lost focus.

00:43:31You leave my mother out of this.

00:43:33Why?

00:43:34It's the truth.

00:43:34Enough, Dylan.

00:43:36Emily and Beatrice have nothing to do with this.

00:43:38I am your best friend, and I am not just going to sit back and watch you ruin everything

00:43:42you built for some manipulative gold digger.

00:43:46Dylan, get out.

00:43:49But Preston...

00:43:50And don't you ever speak that way to my stepsister again.

00:43:52Don't you ever speak that way to my stepsister again.

00:43:53So long, Emily.

00:44:18Emily.

00:44:24Emily.

00:44:25Look, I'm so sorry.

00:44:27It's fine.

00:44:27No, it's not fine.

00:44:28I know you're not a gold digger.

00:44:32Were any of these ruined?

00:44:34No, thankfully.

00:44:37I mean, Victor would have more of a reason to dislike me if I wasted any of his supplies.

00:44:40Look, you don't have to work here, all right?

00:44:47Let me find you something else.

00:44:50Something better.

00:44:51No!

00:44:53Okay.

00:44:54I am fine.

00:44:56I don't need your help.

00:44:58And if you left me alone, you'd see that.

00:44:59And if I left you alone now, how would you get a ride home?

00:45:07Fine.

00:45:08You can leave me alone after you give me a ride.

00:45:17Shut up.

00:45:18I'm still mad at you.

00:45:25Thanks.

00:45:25Oh, Tim.

00:45:26Sorry.

00:45:27Sorry.

00:45:29No, I know.

00:45:31Yeah?

00:45:33Cassie stopped by.

00:45:34Yeah, I know.

00:45:35She said you blew off the final meeting with the event coordinator.

00:45:38Well, it wasn't necessary.

00:45:40All right, I have everything set up already for tomorrow.

00:45:44I'm thinking perhaps Emily has been distracting you from your priorities.

00:45:50I agree.

00:45:52What?

00:45:53You serious?

00:45:54I'm starting to think I should be taking a more active role in your company.

00:45:58It's not going to happen.

00:46:00The gal is going to be perfect.

00:46:02The IPO is going to be a huge success.

00:46:04And you're going to finally see I don't need you controlling every aspect of my life.

00:46:09Insolent boy.

00:46:11Outdated fossil.

00:46:12Listen, I don't care if you don't care about yourself.

00:46:23But do not mess this up for me.

00:46:25Oh, geez.

00:46:35Haven't you caused enough drama for one day?

00:46:38I want you to stay away from Preston.

00:46:41He is mine.

00:46:43So you better stay out of the way.

00:46:45Don't think you're even a real threat.

00:46:47Then why do you seem so threatened?

00:46:48You don't belong here.

00:46:53It's mine and Preston's world.

00:46:56Everyone else here knows it.

00:46:57And soon, he will too.

00:46:59So maybe you should go back to where you belong.

00:47:03Before he has to kick you back there himself.

00:47:05Before he has to kick you back to where you belong.

00:47:35Hey, Ma'am, I was wondering, do you have anything I can wear for tonight?

00:47:43I don't have anything that's suitable.

00:47:45And I don't want to embarrass you or Mr. Langford or Preston.

00:47:51You don't know how much it means to hear you say that.

00:47:54I know.

00:47:56I really do love you.

00:47:58And I only want the best for you.

00:48:01Marrying Lawrence gives us so much more than I could ever give you.

00:48:06I know you love me.

00:48:08I have got the perfect dress for you.

00:48:16Preston?

00:48:17I've been thinking.

00:48:19Sounds like a pretty new experience for you.

00:48:21I don't think Emily should attend the gala tonight.

00:48:26And why is that?

00:48:29Because she's not like us.

00:48:32She's not a part of our world.

00:48:33You can see that, right?

00:48:40She's probably not going to attend anyways.

00:48:43Well, good, because you know she probably wouldn't fit in.

00:48:45Besides, it is better that you and your father keep your distance from Emily and Beatrice.

00:48:53I just want what's best for you.

00:48:59I always have.

00:49:02And once the IPO becomes a success, it'll just be you and me against the world.

00:49:09Like it was in the beginning.

00:49:15So, this is what girls from Preston's world dress like.

00:49:20I wonder if he'll like me in this.

00:49:25Wait.

00:49:25What am I doing?

00:49:29I...

00:49:29Preston's my stepbrother.

00:49:31I hope Emily attends the gala tonight.

00:49:34I should have bought her a dress.

00:49:36Or at least some jewelry.

00:49:39She doesn't need designer anything.

00:49:41She's beautiful.

00:49:43Just as she is.

00:49:45Dammit, stop!

00:49:47She's your stepsister.

00:49:48Emily, I need to talk to you.

00:49:53I know we're not supposed to feel like this.

00:49:59I don't...

00:50:03Oh, God.

00:50:07I'm so sorry.

00:50:09What is it you want to talk to me about?

00:50:14I just wanted to let you know, um, why all of this is so important to me.

00:50:21Okay.

00:50:24My father never believed in my company.

00:50:27Or me, for that matter.

00:50:29It was always my mother who encouraged me to do it all on my own

00:50:33and not be under my father's thumb my whole life.

00:50:37I get that.

00:50:39So, my company going public, as important as that is,

00:50:43it's really also about my mother's legacy.

00:50:46A way to keep her memory alive.

00:50:50Exactly.

00:50:52This could be my only chance to really do something on my own.

00:50:57Yeah.

00:50:58I understand that.

00:51:01I knew you would.

00:51:09Um, shoot.

00:51:10Can you help me with this?

00:51:13You know, I thought you wanted to do everything on your own.

00:51:34You didn't want anybody to help you with anything.

00:51:36Maybe I wouldn't mind if you helped me today.

00:51:44Hmm.

00:51:45Hmm.

00:51:46Hmm.

00:52:00What?

00:52:02It's so funny.

00:52:05Well, the last time we were this close,

00:52:07the zipper was going the opposite direction.

00:52:09Oh.

00:52:10Oh, Preston?

00:52:12You blushing?

00:52:14Maybe.

00:52:16Hmm.

00:52:17Well, why don't you pretend I just have a swimsuit on under here?

00:52:22Now, see, when I said that,

00:52:24I wasn't wearing anything underneath it.

00:52:31Hmm.

00:52:31Now it's fair.

00:52:55Yeah.

00:52:55Yeah, it is.

00:52:58Hmm.

00:52:59nome go.

00:53:06Oh, oh, oh.

00:53:07Oh, oh, ooh.

00:53:08Oh, oh, oh, och.

00:54:21Unbelievable.

00:54:23When she's distracted, do it.

00:54:35Emily, you look so beautiful in your dress.

00:54:38It almost makes me forget that when I met you, you were the help.

00:54:43When I first met you, you were a leech.

00:54:46Too bad only one of us has changed.

00:54:51Preston, I have an investor that I want you to meet.

00:54:54Be a doll and take care of my drink for me.

00:54:57You remember how to do that, right?

00:55:07Come.

00:55:07You don't belong here.

00:55:36Excuse me?

00:55:37You heard what I said.

00:55:40It's probably better for you to just leave.

00:55:44Now.

00:55:45See, Preston, he belongs in this world.

00:55:59You never will.

00:56:04No matter how many fancy dresses you wear to pretend otherwise.

00:56:08But Cassie, see how perfectly she fits by his side?

00:56:18You can never do that.

00:56:22So stop trying.

00:56:23You're just embarrassing yourself.

00:56:26Hey.

00:56:30You are...

00:56:33Cute.

00:56:34And Preston was being really nice to you.

00:56:38Just...

00:56:39To get laid.

00:56:42I mean, he would never go out with you in public.

00:56:47Ever.

00:56:48Just think about that.

00:56:52Emily!

00:56:54There was a guest at the party and...

00:57:13I swear to God.

00:57:15Do not ruin this for me.

00:57:18What?

00:57:19Do not cause a scene at the gala tonight.

00:57:22Mom, I'm not causing a scene.

00:57:24I am so sick of your excuses.

00:57:27Why can't you just try to fit in?

00:57:28We need this, Emily.

00:57:33Fine.

00:57:34Fine.

00:57:35Whatever you say.

00:57:36You know, as long as it makes you feel more secure with your relationship with Mr. Langford and his money.

00:57:41See?

00:57:41I told you.

00:57:56No.

00:57:57Preston, please let me explain.

00:57:58Preston.

00:57:58I...

00:57:58Let him go.

00:58:00No, Mom.

00:58:01He thinks I'm after him and his father's money.

00:58:04It doesn't matter what he thinks.

00:58:06He's that important.

00:58:07As long as Lawrence and I are married, everything will be just fine.

00:58:11No, Mom, you don't...

00:58:14Hey, Ray, Preston, wait!

00:58:21Preston, wait.

00:58:23Ah, Preston.

00:58:24Perfect timing.

00:58:25Let's take some family photos.

00:58:26Sure.

00:58:27No, before you do that, can we just talk?

00:58:30Okay, I need to explain...

00:58:32You don't need to explain anything.

00:58:33I get it now.

00:58:34No, you don't.

00:58:35Okay, you misunderstood.

00:58:36It doesn't matter.

00:58:40Let's talk later.

00:58:42Let's take a family photo.

00:58:44To commemorate this wonderful night.

00:58:46It really is a wonderful night.

00:58:51Honey, do you have your camera?

00:58:54Yeah.

00:58:55Oh, yeah.

00:58:57You should take the photo, Emily.

00:58:58Okay.

00:58:58Is it this wonderful?

00:59:22Let's take some with the immediate family only.

00:59:26Oh, well, then I won't have to move, as I'll be a Langford soon.

00:59:31What do you mean, Cassie?

00:59:34Well, we didn't want to say anything with everything going on with Preston's company going public, but...

00:59:40We're engaged.

00:59:42That's wonderful.

00:59:44I am so happy for you.

00:59:47Preston, is this true?

00:59:49Yes, it is true.

00:59:52We got engaged three months ago.

00:59:55But we didn't want to make any announcements until everything with the company was finalized.

01:00:00Congratulations.

01:00:01Proud of you, son.

01:00:03Thanks, Dad.

01:00:07Congratulations.

01:00:09Emily, snap away.

01:00:11It's true, you know.

01:00:14They were engaged.

01:00:17Preston asked her to marry him.

01:00:19Of course, that was before he found out she was cheating on him.

01:00:23But it looks like he's finally over it.

01:00:27I guess so.

01:00:27Don't laugh.

01:00:54Uh, excuse me a moment.

01:01:07You're leaving now?

01:01:09You're engaged now?

01:01:11You know, it doesn't concern me.

01:01:18You know, I thought you were different.

01:01:20I thought you were different.

01:01:22What does that mean?

01:01:23I heard you with your mother.

01:01:25What, you think I imagined that?

01:01:27No, you misunderstood what I said and then refused to listen when I tried to explain.

01:01:33Since the beginning, you've assumed I've been after your money.

01:01:36And you've been looking for every excuse to prove what you already know deep in your heart.

01:01:42That I'm not good enough for you.

01:01:45I'm not from your world.

01:01:47Yeah, I'm good for a good fun tumble with the help.

01:01:50But God forbid, we were seen in public with me.

01:01:53God forbid I embarrass you.

01:01:54Are you done?

01:02:00Yes.

01:02:03I am so done with you.

01:02:05I mean, you've clearly sold your soul to the devil herself to make your business a success.

01:02:15Goodbye.

01:02:23Victor, what the hell are you doing here?

01:02:25I came to confront a thief!

01:02:29Apparently, Emily stole a very valuable ring that's supposed to be used in a photo shoot for tomorrow.

01:02:34What are you talking about?

01:02:36What ring?

01:02:37I'm not a thief.

01:02:38You can explain it to the police.

01:02:42Sure.

01:02:42Yeah, I bet they'd be very interested to know all the ways you've sexually harassed me since I started.

01:02:50You little bitch!

01:02:51All right, hey, look.

01:02:53This is not the time or the place for this.

01:02:55All right?

01:02:55Victor, if you think she stole something from you, you can talk to the police about it.

01:03:00Emily.

01:03:01No, I get it.

01:03:02Yeah, I wouldn't want to ruin your precious gala.

01:03:05But, but I am not a thief.

01:03:11I am not a gold digger, and I have never taken something I didn't earn on my own.

01:03:18If Emily never stole anything, then why don't you check her purse, Victor?

01:03:21Oh.

01:03:24Emily?

01:03:24Oh, look!

01:03:37I knew you were a thief!

01:03:40Oh, oh yeah.

01:03:42No, that ring was sitting on a stool for you to photograph tomorrow, exactly where you insisted

01:03:45I put it.

01:03:47Victor, I suggest you press charges.

01:03:50Emily.

01:03:52Do you really believe I'd steal?

01:03:53Well, Emily, the ring was in your purse.

01:03:57Who am I supposed to trust?

01:03:59Well, clearly you trust Cassie, who just happened to walk in and magically know where the stolen

01:04:03ring was.

01:04:04That is a ridiculous accusation.

01:04:07Emily, I went through so much effort to arrange your dream job for you, and you risk throwing

01:04:14it all away for a piece of jewelry?

01:04:17What did you say?

01:04:19Nothing.

01:04:19I just...

01:04:20No, you said you got me that job.

01:04:23Yes, I did, but...

01:04:24You didn't believe I could do it?

01:04:27No, of course not.

01:04:29He's the one that said you were...

01:04:29No, I don't care what he said.

01:04:30You...

01:04:31You didn't believe I was good enough to get the job of my own, so you bribed someone to

01:04:36hire me.

01:04:37It's not like that.

01:04:38Yes, it is.

01:04:39Wow.

01:04:43Yeah, this is really good to know.

01:04:52Okay.

01:04:53I have had enough.

01:04:56I quit, you fucking scumbag.

01:05:00Keep whatever money Preston bribed you with.

01:05:02Congratulations on your engagement.

01:05:07Why don't you use the ring you had someone steal from Victor as your engagement ring?

01:05:11It is just as ugly and tacky as you.

01:05:15How dare you?

01:05:17What in the world is going on?

01:05:19Now, take your business deal and choke on it, you shameless money-hunting green bastard.

01:05:33No, I...

01:05:34I can't believe I actually thought I was falling in love with you.

01:05:38Um, ew, that's your stepbrother.

01:06:05Hey, I wasn't ready.

01:06:08Oh, damn.

01:06:10I look good.

01:06:11Yeah, you do.

01:06:13Well, you are a great photographer.

01:06:16No, clearly I'm not.

01:06:18Listen, I hate what that jerk face did to you.

01:06:23But...

01:06:24Just a tiny little but.

01:06:26It sounds like you really did love you.

01:06:29What?

01:06:30It's just everything he did for you to get that job.

01:06:34You mean bribing someone to hire me?

01:06:36I didn't say it was right.

01:06:37I'm just saying maybe he didn't express himself well.

01:06:41Or, in other words, maybe he was just being a guy.

01:06:45No, Preston thinks he can throw money to solve all of his problems.

01:06:48My stepsister is embarrassing.

01:06:50Let me throw money at it.

01:06:52Yeah, that really wasn't the best idea.

01:06:54I mean, it doesn't even matter.

01:06:57A company's gonna be a hit and his lifestyle article's gonna come out and there's gonna be this perfect family there.

01:07:04And everyone gets exactly what they wanted.

01:07:09Except for you.

01:07:12No, didn't you know?

01:07:14I don't count.

01:07:15Not in his world.

01:07:18Hang on.

01:07:19Whatever you say.

01:07:22What?

01:07:23Did you mean this article?

01:07:24New wonderkin.

01:07:26Depressed in Langford.

01:07:27He's about to soar to new heights.

01:07:37I...

01:07:37I took this photo.

01:07:40So...

01:07:40That is a pretty good photo.

01:07:48We're closed.

01:07:50Sorry.

01:07:50Zoe, that's...

01:07:51I know who it is.

01:07:52I was just staring at his picture.

01:07:54Can we talk?

01:07:59I guess I'll go to the back and pretend that I can't hear everything I'm listening to.

01:08:05I would have been here a lot sooner, but...

01:08:07You were hard to track down.

01:08:10Zoe had to tag you in one of her posts.

01:08:16How was your launch?

01:08:18Not that you care.

01:08:19No, you're right.

01:08:20I don't.

01:08:20Well, the launch went really well.

01:08:22Despite everything.

01:08:25And, uh...

01:08:26Yeah, it was a huge success.

01:08:29Landed a lot of business partners.

01:08:32Investors.

01:08:34It's good to hear.

01:08:37Your mom would be really proud of you.

01:08:39Sure of that.

01:08:42No.

01:08:43She wouldn't have been proud.

01:08:45She would have been disappointed.

01:08:49Because I wasn't honest with you.

01:08:52And I chose business over love.

01:08:57Just like my father always did.

01:09:01Anyways, I just wanted to tell you I'm really sorry.

01:09:04And I was hoping that we could maybe start over.

01:09:08When you left, what you said about Cassie knowing where the ring was in your purse, it sunk in.

01:09:17I knew you were telling the truth.

01:09:20Dylan, he's the one who stole the ring the night at the studio.

01:09:24He planted it in your purse at the party to frame you.

01:09:27Security footage proves all of that.

01:09:33So what?

01:09:34Victor just went back to his studio?

01:09:36I reported him to the labor board.

01:09:39And many of his assistants have spoken out against him.

01:09:43There's a lawsuit in the works.

01:09:44And they're probably going to contact you about it.

01:09:47And he's probably going to lose everything.

01:09:49Wow.

01:09:51Yeah.

01:09:52Yeah.

01:09:52I just, I couldn't let him get away with treating you like that.

01:09:59I'm just so sorry.

01:10:01I didn't act sooner.

01:10:06What happened?

01:10:07You in a fight?

01:10:09Yeah.

01:10:12Dylan was bragging about what he said to you the night at the party.

01:10:15Needless to say, he's not my business partner anymore.

01:10:18I'm sorry.

01:10:19Why?

01:10:21Because he was your friend.

01:10:23He was another my friend.

01:10:25He just saw me as a cash cow.

01:10:28Typical.

01:10:31So listen, I'm going to be in L.A. full time.

01:10:34And I'm looking for a possible investment opportunity.

01:10:38I heard there was this hotshot photographer looking for a studio space.

01:10:42Just needs a little bit of seed money to get started.

01:10:44Have you not been listening to anything I said?

01:10:47You can't buy my forgiveness.

01:10:49I'm not buying your forgiveness.

01:10:51And this is not a handout.

01:10:52It's a legitimate business opportunity.

01:10:54And I expect you to operate like a business.

01:10:57Quarterly reports.

01:10:59And me being involved in the day-to-day operations.

01:11:02What do you say?

01:11:09Okay.

01:11:11Okay.

01:11:13Zoe.

01:11:15We're celebrating.

01:11:16Bring out your best champagne.

01:11:18Sorry, did you guys call for me?

01:11:20I can't hear anything when I'm back there.

01:11:21Just bring us the good stuff.

01:11:22I believe in you.

01:11:40You can do anything.

01:11:42You're good enough to do anything.

01:11:44Okay.

01:11:44Aren't you guys still step-siblings?

01:11:59Yeah, about that.

01:12:00Our parents are getting a divorce.

01:12:03What?

01:12:03My dad decided he wanted out.

01:12:07He's not a very great man.

01:12:09I'm sorry.

01:12:11It's totally fine.

01:12:13Honestly, my mom's not that great either.

01:12:15Oh, what a shame.

01:12:18You were such a good couple.

01:12:19Oh, don't even joke like that.

01:12:22You were still my step-brother.

01:12:24Hmm.

01:12:25But I fell for you before that.

01:12:28So did I.

01:12:29Hmm.

01:12:57I fell for you.

01:12:59I'm sorry.

01:12:59I fell for you before.

01:13:00Oh, don't even joke like that.

01:13:02I'll be right back.

01:13:02Yeah, I want you.

01:13:03I'll be right back.

01:13:03I don't know.

01:13:04I'll be right back.

01:13:05I'll be right back.

01:13:05I hope you guys have a good day.
