Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Ryan.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:28They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:32Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:39Well, looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:48Hey, this is a privacy case.
00:00:50Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:14You can't do this. You're just a cleaner. Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible!
00:01:23What's going on?
00:01:24The shortening attempt. It's failing. The price is holding.
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:36We met before.
00:01:37They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on.
00:01:41Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:45If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:54Jason, get me her file now.
00:02:01Mr. Yates!
00:02:13What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:18No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:28Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:32Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret, and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:38Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:48Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:53Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:13Ma'am, why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepherd Group.
00:03:28And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday!
00:03:54I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:22What's going on?
00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:32You're still a cleaner.
00:04:34You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:36Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:44I won't sign anything.
00:04:47Huh.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55$100,000.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us?
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Go to a written store.
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:02She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wanted to partner with them.
00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10Divorced her?
00:06:12Wait a minute.
00:06:14Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:20Yeah.
00:06:21She saved our hiding then.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:30I don't know.
00:06:32Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:36Hey!
00:06:37What are you doing?
00:06:38Let go of me!
00:06:39You attacked Amber!
00:06:40Apologize this instant!
00:06:41Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:42We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:43You refused it.
00:06:44And now you're stealing!
00:06:45She couldn't afford it.
00:06:46You're a thief!
00:06:47That's mine!
00:06:48Give it back!
00:06:49That's mine!
00:06:50Give it back!
00:06:51Hey!
00:06:52Hey!
00:06:53Hey!
00:06:54Hey!
00:06:55Hey!

00:07:09Hey!
00:07:10Hey!
00:07:11Hey!
00:07:12Hey!
00:07:13Hey!
00:07:14Hey!
00:07:15Hey!
00:07:16Hey!
00:07:17Hey!
00:07:18Hey!
00:07:19Hey!
00:07:20Hi!
00:07:21Hey!
00:07:22I'm with you Mike going through a divorce.
00:07:23You see?
00:07:24Who are you?
00:07:25Boris and your squeeze.
00:07:26Excuse me?
00:07:28You know who I am?
00:07:29Is this true?
00:07:30You hooked up with this man?
00:07:31While you were married to my son?
00:07:32Shame on you!
00:07:33Mr. Shepherd I've..
00:07:34For your information my name is Bryan Shepard
00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepard group.
00:07:38Oh please, a big show life Bryan Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner
00:07:40You really don't recognize him do you Amber?
00:07:42really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:46That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring. Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis. Oh, hey,
00:07:53what are you doing? Laura, let's get you out of here. Now. Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck
00:08:02is this man? Have you been sneaking around? It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:07Of rags and bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you, tell us what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her. Harrison, compared to the Shepard
00:08:18group, you're nobody. Now go back. What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself. Don't you take
00:08:28another step towards my son, Laura. Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the
00:08:35100 million deal? Let's just say that Ben underestimated me. I don't feel good about going through the
00:08:43signing event. After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it? No. No, the event
00:08:52will proceed. Besides, I'll be there. There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are
00:09:03you, truly? You'll find out, Mr. Shepard. Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:10Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:09:21to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today. Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:29Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:42Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:49After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey. Just get out.
00:10:23Don't tell me you couldn't look in for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:26You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:28Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:37You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:40Oh.
00:10:45That's what you get.
00:10:48This contract is mine.
00:10:54To give or take away as I see it.
00:10:58Don't be ridiculous. This is insane.
00:11:00Who do you think you are?
00:11:02Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security? She's lost a mind.
00:11:07This is a disaster.
00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:13But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:22Laura, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:40It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:11:47You see, it's...
00:11:48Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:11:51Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:11:57Shame on you!
00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...
00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:12:03I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:05Oh, please.
00:12:06A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:12:12That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:12:18That's ridiculous.
00:12:19He doesn't look like that.
00:12:21My ring.
00:12:22Jason, pivot back to Miss Lewis.
00:12:24Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:12:25Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:12:30Now.
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:12:32Who the heck is this man?
00:12:34Have you been sneaking around?
00:12:36It's all right, ma'am.
00:12:37This is none of your business.
00:12:39I'll grab dead bodies.
00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:43We are the Harrisons.
00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:12:50Now go back.
00:12:51What?
00:12:51Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:12:54That's a lie.
00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:12:57You come back here and explain yourself.
00:12:59Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:13:03Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:13:09Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:13:13I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:13:17After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:13:20No.
00:13:20Um, no.
00:13:23The event will proceed.
00:13:24Besides, I'll be there.
00:13:30There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:13:34Who are you, truly?
00:13:36You'll find out.
00:13:38Mr. Shepard.
00:13:39Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:13:41Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:13:56Make sure everyone is there.
00:14:01Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:14:09Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:14:10I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:14:12Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:14:20After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:14:30Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:14:34Laura, what are you doing here?
00:14:37Security!
00:14:38Get that woman out of here!
00:14:39We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:14:42Why wouldn't I be here?
00:14:43This is a business event, after all.
00:14:46Business?
00:14:47You wouldn't know business if I ate you on the head.
00:14:49A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:14:53Just get out!
00:14:54Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:14:57You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:14:59Oh, Ben.
00:15:01Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:15:04Laura, this is really important for me.
00:15:06Do not ruin this, okay?
00:15:08You don't belong here.
00:15:10Just get out!
00:15:12Oh.
00:15:16That's what you get.
00:15:19This contract is mine, to give or take away as I see fit.
00:15:29Don't be ridiculous, this is insane!
00:15:31Who do you think you are?
00:15:33Yeah, put that down.
00:15:34You have no idea what you're doing.
00:15:36Security!
00:15:36She's lost a mind!
00:15:38This is a disaster!
00:15:40Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:15:47You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:16:15Oh, you're so silly, Laura.
00:16:17Oh, please, honey.
00:16:18You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:16:21Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:16:24I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:16:28And after careful consideration,
00:16:32I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:16:36You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:16:40You have no authority here.
00:16:43Of course she has the authority.
00:16:51That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:16:53What is he doing here?
00:16:54Mr. Shepard?
00:16:55How does he know her?
00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:16:59Laura, are you alright?
00:17:00Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:17:06There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:17:08There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:10This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:17:15Effective immediately.
00:17:16Wait a minute.
00:17:19This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:17:21It's her.
00:17:22She ruined the contract.
00:17:24You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:17:26An affair?
00:17:27She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:17:31Mom, please, it's okay.
00:17:33This man is...
00:17:33Don't touch me.
00:17:35That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:17:38has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:17:40You're a disgrace.
00:17:42An adulterer.
00:17:42You deserve to be arrested.
00:17:43Shut up.
00:17:44Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:17:50but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:17:53Tricked?
00:17:54Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:17:58What was my name before we got married?
00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?
00:18:04Lewis group?
00:18:06The financial giants?
00:18:08There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:18:12That's crazy.
00:18:13There is no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:18:17That's absurd.
00:18:18It's...
00:18:18It's...
00:18:19It's absurd!
00:18:22A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:26Yeah, it's a lie.
00:18:27It's a lie.
00:18:27This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:18:34She's nothing special.
00:18:35She only married me out of gratitude.
00:18:36I was just a waitress.
00:18:40How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:18:42First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:18:46When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:18:50Mm-hmm.
00:18:50Now look at me.
00:18:51I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:18:54And look at her.
00:18:55Still just a cleaner.
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:19:01She's doing all this out of spite.
00:19:03She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:05She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:19:09Let's make something clear.
00:19:12I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:19:22Don't lie.
00:19:23You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:19:27Oops.
00:19:28That roof was built with lies, Kathy.
00:19:31You never respected me.
00:19:33And Ben?
00:19:34Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:19:38And the cheating.
00:19:40I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:19:54Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:19:57From everything.
00:19:59Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:04Laura, you think you can just walk in here and then, you know, ruin everything?
00:20:07And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:20:08I don't think so.
00:20:10You're a cleaner.
00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:20:13Nobody cares about you.
00:20:15Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:20:18I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:20:28I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:20:30I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:20:33Ben, what are you doing?
00:20:35But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:20:40A janitor.
00:20:41Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:20:50You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:20:56Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:20:58This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:21:03I, but, well...
00:21:05A lie, you say?
00:21:06Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:21:10But I don't recognize you.
00:21:13Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:21:20This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:21:24But the contract...
00:21:25I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:21:27So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:21:32Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:21:34Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:21:36Without Miss Lewis' involvement,
00:21:38I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.
00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:21:55Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:21:57You destroyed everything.
00:21:58What?
00:22:00No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:22:02I can explain.
00:22:03Lewis?
00:22:04Lewis Family Group?
00:22:06This can't be.
00:22:08Believe what you want, Ben.
00:22:10Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:22:15Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:22:26Everyone, listen to me.
00:22:29Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:22:33A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:22:40The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:41Listen, everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:22:47Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:22:55Someone get a doctor.
00:22:57Help!
00:22:58Mom!
00:22:59Someone get a doctor!
00:23:00Mom!
00:23:00It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:23:07Indeed.
00:23:08Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:23:10What?
00:23:22What now?
00:23:23Mom, this is not all on me.
00:23:26Not on you?
00:23:28I was trying to help.
00:23:30She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:23:32Flaunted their affair.
00:23:33Exactly.
00:23:34And those dresses?
00:23:36Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:23:38Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:23:41We trusted you completely.
00:23:43What?
00:23:44No, no.
00:23:45I got Ben the deal.
00:23:47I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:23:50She's a liar.
00:23:51Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:23:53You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:23:56Lied?
00:23:57You're on my side.
00:23:59And anyways, I have a plan.
00:24:02The Shepards are no one special.
00:24:03We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:24:06Go national.
00:24:08We can make ourselves a household name.
00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to me.
00:24:15Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:23Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:24:26It's all right, Laura.
00:24:27You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:24:29Can I ask you something?
00:24:30Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:24:32Maybe a hotel?
00:24:34Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:36I'll be fine.
00:24:38Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:24:40Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:24:44Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:24:47Just casually, of course.
00:24:49Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:24:53Please, call me Brian.
00:24:55And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:25:00Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:25:10Proper?
00:25:13Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:25:17Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:25:21Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:25:25So what do you say?
00:25:26Dinner?
00:25:29Just two people getting to know each other.
00:25:31I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:36I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:25:40Wait, Laura.
00:25:41Just here is fine.
00:25:45Laura?
00:25:50Laura, who is it?
00:25:52Laura, wait!
00:25:53Jason, find out who owns that car, and do it fast.
00:26:06Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:26:08It's Amber Smith.
00:26:10Mr. Lewis?
00:26:12I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:26:16I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:26:19How did you get this number?
00:26:21Don't worry about that right now.
00:26:23I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:26:26Someone I know very well.
00:26:29Impersonating my niece?
00:26:32And where is this fake Laura?
00:26:35Right here in Maplewood.
00:26:36And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:26:41Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:26:44And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:26:49In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:26:54I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:26:56All will be revealed then.
00:26:58Very well.
00:27:00I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:27:03But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:27:06It won't be.
00:27:07Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:27:09Thank you, Mr.
00:27:10That little rascal, Laura.
00:27:19I wonder what she's up to now.
00:27:24That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubbler.
00:27:28Oh.
00:27:30Lewis family.
00:27:32That's interesting.
00:27:35Could you be connected to them somehow?
00:27:38I'm not sure.
00:27:41Brian!
00:27:42There you are.
00:27:43I've missed you.
00:27:44Chloe.
00:27:46What are you up to?
00:27:47Chloe.
00:27:48What are you doing here?
00:27:50What do you mean?
00:27:51Can't I visit the man I love?
00:27:53We ended things for a reason.
00:27:56It was just one teensy mistake.
00:27:58I was...
00:27:59I was a little bit tipsy.
00:28:01Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:28:03Teensy mistake, you say?
00:28:04You cheated on me.
00:28:05Is this your new fling?
00:28:12Ex-divorcey.
00:28:14Used to clean floors.
00:28:15Quite the catch.
00:28:16What are you saying?
00:28:17Look.
00:28:19My relationship with her
00:28:20is none of your business.
00:28:22And don't you dare
00:28:23talk about her like that.
00:28:25Please.
00:28:27An ex-cleaner turned social climber
00:28:29latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:28:31It's a classic story.
00:28:32That's enough.
00:28:33I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:28:36You want to be careful, Brian.
00:28:38Duke Industries still holds
00:28:39a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:28:41If you want Shepard Group
00:28:42to stay afloat,
00:28:44you ought to be more careful.
00:28:49Seems like you've got more
00:28:50on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:28:57This is it.
00:28:59The Lewis Group vice presidents
00:29:00are on the top floor.
00:29:01Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:29:03I'll have Ben's company
00:29:04rolling in business investments.
00:29:06I'll go speak with them first
00:29:07and then I'll introduce you.
00:29:10Well, well, well.
00:29:12Look who it is.
00:29:13What a surprise.
00:29:15Did Brian do it you already?
00:29:17That's none of your business.
00:29:20Now move aside, please.
00:29:21Laura?
00:29:22Just what do you think you're doing,
00:29:23you street rat?
00:29:25You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:29:27Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:29:28Don't you have any shame?
00:29:30If you'll excuse me,
00:29:32I have an important meeting to get to.
00:29:34Oh, the nerve.
00:29:35After everything you've done,
00:29:36you think you can just waltz in here
00:29:38and manipulate them too?
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:41I think you need to reconsider
00:29:43exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:29:46Oh, that's gold.
00:29:47You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:29:50Please.
00:29:51You're no one compared to me.
00:29:52You don't deserve to be here.
00:29:54The only ones who don't belong here
00:29:57are you three.
00:29:59And you, idiot.
00:30:01Believing every lie that she tells you.
00:30:03Wake up, Ben.
00:30:04Oh, Laura.
00:30:06Laura, come on.
00:30:07Why do you always pull this on me?
00:30:09I mean, seriously,
00:30:10can't you just let me enjoy
00:30:11one of my events for once?
00:30:13I know what this is.
00:30:15So stupid.
00:30:17Oh, such a trap.
00:30:19Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:30:21He invited her to meet with the VPs
00:30:23before the main meeting.
00:30:25Yeah, Amber got me a partnership
00:30:27with the Lewis Group.
00:30:28And unlike some people,
00:30:30I have a real invitation.
00:30:32Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:30:37why don't you take a look
00:30:38at this?
00:30:41Oh, that's rich.
00:30:43You may have Brian Shepard fooled,
00:30:45but you can't fool me.
00:30:46I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:30:48CEO of Lewis Group.
00:30:50Speaking of Brian,
00:30:52where is he right now?
00:30:54You mean my uncle?
00:30:56Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:30:59Ian Lewis personally gave me
00:31:01this invitation himself.
00:31:02And besides,
00:31:04this looks fake.
00:31:07She's a liar.
00:31:09This is a personal invitation
00:31:11from Mr. Yates himself.
00:31:13It grants me access
00:31:14to the VIP elevator,
00:31:16which leads straight
00:31:17to the vice presidential suite.
00:31:18She's lying.
00:31:20They don't have a VIP elevator
00:31:21in this hotel.
00:31:25Is there a special elevator
00:31:27for VIPs in this hotel?
00:31:28Not that I know of.
00:31:31See?
00:31:32She's lying.
00:31:33There you have it, Laura.
00:31:34Even the hotel staff
00:31:35can spot a fake.
00:31:37Go on, get lost
00:31:38before things get worse.
00:31:42Here, take this one.
00:31:43Lead me to the vice president's.
00:31:45You have
00:31:46no idea
00:31:48what you just did.
00:31:50There
00:31:50be consequences.
00:31:54Besides,
00:31:55if you have this relationship
00:31:57with Ian Lewis
00:31:57that you claim to have,
00:32:00why don't you just ask him
00:32:01to get the two of them
00:32:03an invitation?
00:32:05Security!
00:32:06Security!
00:32:06We need this woman removed immediately.
00:32:07She is harassing me.
00:32:09We're done with your games, Laura.
00:32:10You're just a fraud.
00:32:12Ma'am, place me with you.
00:32:13What?
00:32:13Hold on!
00:32:17Brian Shepard?
00:32:19You think money buys you
00:32:20the right to walk all over people?
00:32:21Well, it doesn't.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:23Wasn't enough to kick us
00:32:24out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:32:26What other plans
00:32:27do you have to destroy this time?
00:32:28Get you out?
00:32:30After what you did to Laura,
00:32:31you had it coming.
00:32:32Don't play dumb.
00:32:34We know exactly
00:32:35what's been happening here.
00:32:36How long has this little affair
00:32:37been going on?
00:32:38You've been sleeping with her
00:32:39since she was married to my son.
00:32:41Hold on a second.
00:32:43An affair?
00:32:45You think Laura and I...
00:32:46You people are unbelievable.
00:32:48Mr. Carter,
00:32:52get down here ASAP.
00:32:54We have a situation.
00:32:56What, you think you can just
00:32:57boss the manager around now?
00:32:58Is that it?
00:32:59Well, stick around
00:33:00and watch you crash and burn.
00:33:02Miss Lewis,
00:33:02apologies for the delay.
00:33:04How can I help you this evening?
00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:33:07for getting down here so quickly.
00:33:09It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:33:12These people don't think
00:33:13that I belong here.
00:33:15Well, Mr. Carter,
00:33:16I can assure you,
00:33:16this woman is a cleaner.
00:33:18A cleaner?
00:33:19Nonsense.
00:33:20I personally agreed to Miss Lewis
00:33:21upon her arrival in Maplewood
00:33:23three years ago.
00:33:24Exactly.
00:33:26Lewis Group,
00:33:27my company,
00:33:29has some major investments
00:33:31planned here in Maplewood.
00:33:33I was just here
00:33:34investigating potential
00:33:35business opportunities.
00:33:37No, this woman doesn't know
00:33:38the difference between business
00:33:39and a hole in the ground.
00:33:41She's been this way
00:33:42since my son divorced her.
00:33:43She's insane.
00:33:44Actually,
00:33:45I met Laura three years ago
00:33:47at the coffee shop.
00:33:48She helped secure
00:33:50a profitable investment
00:33:51for Shepard Group.
00:33:52No, it's a lie.
00:33:55Mr. Shepard,
00:33:56she's tricking you too.
00:33:57You know,
00:34:00it's exhausting
00:34:02trying to argue with people
00:34:03who forget
00:34:04who helped them.
00:34:06Mr. Carter,
00:34:07would you mind showing me
00:34:08to the VIP elevator?
00:34:09Wait,
00:34:10is that why you're
00:34:11covering for her?
00:34:12Because of the affair?
00:34:13Because she slept with you?
00:34:14Excuse me.
00:34:15Of course.
00:34:15Who are you
00:34:16and how dare you speak
00:34:17to Miss Lewis that way?
00:34:18Enough of this.
00:34:19That's enough.
00:34:20Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:34:22This is Lewis Group property.
00:34:24Behave or I'll call security.
00:34:26But she doesn't even have
00:34:27the VIP entrance access.
00:34:29She shouldn't be here.
00:34:31Since you're having
00:34:32trouble understanding Ben,
00:34:34let me make it clear.
00:34:36This hotel
00:34:36is owned by
00:34:38the Lewis family.
00:34:39It's mine
00:34:41to come
00:34:42or go
00:34:42as I please.
00:34:47Thank you
00:34:48for stepping in, Brian.
00:34:49I owe you
00:34:51one.
00:34:52We'll talk about this later.
00:34:53Well,
00:34:55it seems
00:34:56divorcing
00:34:56a powerful woman
00:34:57wasn't the best decision,
00:34:58Mr. Harrison.
00:35:05Come in.
00:35:08Excuse me,
00:35:09Vice Presidents.
00:35:11I'm Amber Smith,
00:35:13General Manager
00:35:13of the Lewis Group,
00:35:14Maplewood Branch.
00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis
00:35:16told you about
00:35:17our meeting today.
00:35:18Maplewood Branch.
00:35:20Our records
00:35:21don't show
00:35:22any Maplewood Branch,
00:35:24Miss Smith.
00:35:25Are you sure
00:35:26you haven't gotten
00:35:27something mixed up?
00:35:29Ian Lewis,
00:35:30Mr. Lewis
00:35:32reassured me
00:35:33that today
00:35:34we would discuss,
00:35:35well,
00:35:36expansion plans.
00:35:39Expansion plans?
00:35:41Miss Smith?
00:35:42A decision like that
00:35:42wouldn't be taken
00:35:43without board approval.
00:35:45And frankly,
00:35:46we haven't heard
00:35:47anything about
00:35:48Maplewood Branch.
00:35:49But
00:35:50Ian Lewis
00:35:51assured me that
00:35:53Miss Smith,
00:35:54we have a very important
00:35:55guest arriving soon.
00:35:56Perhaps you'd like
00:35:57to schedule a follow-up
00:35:58meeting with one of our staff.
00:35:59Maybe I can stay
00:36:00for this guest
00:36:01and offer some
00:36:02local incident?
00:36:02Miss Smith,
00:36:03we'd like you to leave.
00:36:04If you don't,
00:36:05we'll call security.
00:36:11Hey,
00:36:12stop there.
00:36:13This elevator
00:36:13is a VIP only.
00:36:15Back, please.
00:36:16Of course.
00:36:17My apologies.
00:36:24Laura?
00:36:27Vice Presidents!
00:36:28It's so good
00:36:29to see all of you again.
00:36:32Miss Lewis,
00:36:33it's been too long.
00:36:35Your return
00:36:35is a lifesaver,
00:36:36Miss Lewis.
00:36:37The Lewis Group
00:36:38has floundered
00:36:39under your uncle's,
00:36:40well,
00:36:41shall we say,
00:36:42unconventional leadership.
00:36:44The board
00:36:44are begging you
00:36:45to come back,
00:36:46Miss Lewis.
00:36:48Well,
00:36:49please sit.
00:36:50Yes,
00:36:51well,
00:36:51it is time for me
00:36:52to get my career
00:36:53back on track.
00:36:55We've got
00:36:55a meeting planned,
00:36:57a big one,
00:36:58in just a few days.
00:37:00Local powerhouses
00:37:01and smaller players,
00:37:03too.
00:37:04They'll all be there
00:37:05in one spot.
00:37:06Miss Lewis,
00:37:07we met with an
00:37:08Amber Smith.
00:37:11She claimed
00:37:11your uncle
00:37:12appointed her
00:37:13general manager
00:37:14of a Maplewood branch
00:37:16for the Lewis Group.
00:37:18She said that,
00:37:18did she?
00:37:19Well,
00:37:19Miss Smith
00:37:20is a liar.
00:37:21There is
00:37:22no Maplewood branch,
00:37:23at least not yet.
00:37:24She lied so blatantly,
00:37:26it was,
00:37:26it's unbelievable.
00:37:28Well,
00:37:28don't worry.
00:37:30I found a much
00:37:30more suitable partner.
00:37:34Shepherd Group.
00:37:35Shepherd Group?
00:37:37Their rise to a public company
00:37:38has been impressive.
00:37:40Do you have anything
00:37:41to do with that?
00:37:43So,
00:37:44what happens now
00:37:45with this
00:37:45Amber Smith?
00:37:47Oh,
00:37:48don't worry about Amber.
00:37:51I've got plans
00:37:53for her.
00:37:55Miss Lewis,
00:37:57consider this
00:37:59your official invitation
00:38:00to the meeting
00:38:02from us.
00:38:04Cheers.
00:38:05Cheers.
00:38:15You too.
00:38:15Go.
00:38:16No,
00:38:16I'm not leaving.
00:38:17What are you talking about?
00:38:18No,
00:38:18come on.
00:38:18Wait!
00:38:19I'm Amber Smith.
00:38:20I'm the Lewis Group manager
00:38:21of Maplewood branch.
00:38:22What are you doing?
00:38:22These are my guests.
00:38:23Yeah,
00:38:23that's right.
00:38:24Tell them who we are.
00:38:25Yes,
00:38:25we were waiting
00:38:26for Miss Smith.
00:38:29Lewis Group,
00:38:30Maplewood branch?
00:38:30No such thing,
00:38:31ma'am.
00:38:32And frankly,
00:38:32I'm not interested
00:38:33in your act.
00:38:35Oh,
00:38:35of course.
00:38:36Laura!
00:38:37She's probably sleeping
00:38:38with the manager
00:38:39as well.
00:38:40That's how she gets
00:38:40away with everything.
00:38:42You underestimate her,
00:38:43Kathy.
00:38:44She's probably sleeping
00:38:44with all three
00:38:45vice presidents.
00:38:47No way a girl like her
00:38:48could get into
00:38:48a hotel like this.
00:38:49Careful with your words.
00:38:51Both of you.
00:38:53Acquisitions like that
00:38:54can get you
00:38:55in serious trouble.
00:38:57Look who can't even
00:38:58get into a meeting
00:38:59whilst I secure three
00:39:01with all the vice presidents.
00:39:03And let's not forget
00:39:04the mystery guests
00:39:04that they're bringing
00:39:05to Maplewood.
00:39:06Looks like she used you
00:39:08and tossed you aside.
00:39:09Used me?
00:39:10Unlike some people,
00:39:12I don't mind
00:39:13being helpful.
00:39:14You're so stupid.
00:39:15She threw you away
00:39:16like yesterday's trash.
00:39:18Don't worry,
00:39:19Brian.
00:39:20You deserve better.
00:39:21And let's not forget,
00:39:22I'm the new
00:39:23Maplewood branch
00:39:24manager of Lewis Group,
00:39:25appointed by the
00:39:26CEO of Lewis Group
00:39:27themselves,
00:39:28Ian Lewis.
00:39:30New branch manager,
00:39:31huh?
00:39:33Interesting.
00:39:34Laura Lewis?
00:39:35What are you doing here?
00:39:36Get out of here!
00:39:37You claim to be
00:39:38the mystery guest.
00:39:40Don't play games,
00:39:41Laura.
00:39:42I was formally invited
00:39:43by Lewis Group
00:39:44themselves
00:39:44to the investment meeting.
00:39:46Only the top companies
00:39:48get those.
00:39:49Looks like you're
00:39:50all out of luck.
00:39:51Is that so?
00:39:53Well then,
00:39:54there seems to be
00:39:55a misunderstanding.
00:39:58You see,
00:39:58I'm not sure
00:39:59if you know,
00:40:00Miss Smith,
00:40:01but Lewis Group
00:40:02is my company.
00:40:03And I decide
00:40:04who goes to the meetings.
00:40:07Escort them out.
00:40:08What?
00:40:09Their visit is over.
00:40:11Oh, come on.
00:40:12This way, please.
00:40:13I'm not leaving.
00:40:16Move.
00:40:16We're not leaving again.
00:40:17Move.
00:40:18Oh, no, no, no.
00:40:18We're not going now.
00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.
00:40:20This isn't over, Laura.
00:40:22You see.
00:40:26Thanks for waiting, friend.
00:40:29Laura,
00:40:29I'm glad you're okay.
00:40:31And thank you
00:40:34for defending me.
00:40:36I really appreciate it.
00:40:40Um,
00:40:41are you coming to the meeting?
00:40:44Yes, but
00:40:45it's going to be tricky.
00:40:50Why?
00:40:51I'm sure
00:40:52that Shepard Group
00:40:53got an invitation.
00:40:54Yes,
00:40:58Laura.
00:41:00There's something
00:41:01you should know.
00:41:02Is,
00:41:03is this about
00:41:05Ben?
00:41:06Because I can
00:41:07assure you
00:41:08that he won't
00:41:08cause any problems.
00:41:09He won't even
00:41:10get past security.
00:41:12Laura,
00:41:13it's not Ben.
00:41:15It's someone else.
00:41:19Someone's causing
00:41:19problems for Shepard Group?
00:41:21Yes.
00:41:25Her name is
00:41:26Chloe Duke.
00:41:28She is daughter
00:41:29of the Duke family.
00:41:32She's my ex-fiance.
00:41:35And, uh,
00:41:37let's say
00:41:37things didn't end
00:41:38so well between us.
00:41:41And,
00:41:42let's just say
00:41:44we didn't end
00:41:45things so well.
00:41:47And,
00:41:48for some reason,
00:41:50she's having
00:41:50a hard time
00:41:51moving on.
00:41:53And,
00:41:54you think that
00:41:56she's going to
00:41:57cause problems
00:41:58at the meeting
00:41:59for,
00:42:01out of
00:42:04jealousy?
00:42:06There's a possibility.
00:42:08She's kind of jealous.
00:42:10Well,
00:42:12all the more reason
00:42:13for you to be there.
00:42:15Besides,
00:42:17I'll be there too.
00:42:18Laura,
00:42:21would you consider
00:42:24being my guest
00:42:25at the meeting?
00:42:27What?
00:42:28Are you worried
00:42:29that this Chloe
00:42:29is going to cause
00:42:30problems for me too?
00:42:32Maybe a little.
00:42:33But mostly,
00:42:35I want to show them
00:42:36we're a team.
00:42:37Well,
00:42:38it's a very
00:42:38kind offer,
00:42:39Mr. Shepard.
00:42:43Laura,
00:42:43I don't care
00:42:48about your best.
00:42:50I just want
00:42:51to be by your side.
00:42:52I think I'm
00:42:53falling for you.
00:42:58Brian,
00:42:59I,
00:43:00I appreciate
00:43:05your honesty,
00:43:06and right now
00:43:08I,
00:43:09I'm just not,
00:43:10I,
00:43:11I just don't really
00:43:12have romance
00:43:12on my mind
00:43:14right now.
00:43:15Just with,
00:43:15with everything
00:43:16going on
00:43:16and going on
00:43:18and...
00:43:18It's okay.
00:43:20I just want
00:43:21to be upfront.
00:43:23And if Chloe
00:43:24tries anything,
00:43:25you won't face
00:43:26her alone.
00:43:30There's just
00:43:31one thing
00:43:32I do need.
00:43:34What is it?
00:43:37A formal dress.
00:43:50Ah,
00:43:51security!
00:43:51She doesn't belong here.
00:43:53This is a private store.
00:43:55Excuse me.
00:43:56We need some assistance.
00:43:58I'm looking for

00:44:12She's just

00:44:13She doesn't
00:44:14deserve to

00:56:34i won't allow her to be spoken to like that
00:56:40one more chance brian
00:56:42let's forget all this nonsense
00:56:45do it mr shepherd propose right here right now
00:56:50brian
00:56:54is this how the duke family handles business deals
00:56:58by forcing a ring on someone
00:57:01do it or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the duke family
00:57:06don't you dare
00:57:13you're humiliating yourself
00:57:15how dare you
00:57:16do you really like this nobody from nowhere
00:57:19yes
00:57:21oh my god
00:57:24but i can't imagine someone like her interesting in me
00:57:30the truth is i wouldn't be here where i am today without her
00:57:35why would you choose someone like her
00:57:38exactly this woman is trouble she doesn't belong here throw her out
00:57:43you do realize that there is no investment meeting without me
00:57:48interesting turn of events
00:57:50perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past
00:57:55do you actually think that just because you have the name laura
00:57:59that you're the missing heiress laura lewis
00:58:01you know what maybe you're right chloe
00:58:07how ridiculous is that what you've been telling everyone
00:58:10i'm sure that the duke family still values cooperation but
00:58:15wow did i underestimate your foolishness chloe
00:58:21you have no right to talk to miss duke like that
00:58:24that's enough you don't get to talk here
00:58:26you got mad shepherd you dare to go against miss duke
00:58:29and the same applies to everyone else here anyone who insults laura
00:58:35leaves with a black eye
00:58:37it's willing to offend the duke for her
00:58:39what kind of charm does she have
00:58:40i want to be careful brian
00:58:42don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the lewis group
00:58:46are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum
00:58:50the lewis group isn't blacklisting anyone especially not
00:58:55shepherd group
00:58:59lewis group rs you don't make me laugh security
00:59:06remove these two imposters from the premises
