00:00My name is Lily Wilson, and today is my first day as William Hayes' Executive Assistant.
00:05Client number 2785, a.k.a. Hayes Air, a.k.a. Hayes William, a.k.a. The Man Whore.
00:14You see, I'm not a regular assistant. I am the Mistress Manager, working for an elite agency specializing in relationship management.
00:22My task is simple. Keep the love life of Mr. Hayes under the radar and prevent any scandals.
00:28I know everything I need to know about my new project.
00:31Two hours late.
00:33Wow.
00:34You, in my office, now!
00:37Here we go.
00:38My coffee is cold.
00:40I am aware, Mr. Hayes.
00:45Then stop staring at me and bring me my cup of coffee, hot.
00:49I brought you a very hot cup of coffee over two hours ago, and if you were not late, you would have enjoyed that very...
00:57hot cup of coffee.
00:59Who do you think you are?
01:00I'm Lily Wilson, your new Executive Assistant, reporting for my first day.
01:06Now, if you wouldn't mind following me to the conference room, you have a meeting to attend,
01:11which was supposed to take place over an hour ago, but I had it rescheduled for you.
01:16There's plenty of coffee for you there.
01:19You can make one yourself.
01:21Oh.
01:23Good morning to you, too, Mr. Hayes.
01:25Good morning, Ms. Wilson.
01:31Good day, Mr. Hayes.
01:33I'm throwing a party for my birthday this weekend.
01:37You're invited, along with the rest of my employees.
01:40I expect you to be there.
01:42Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Hayes.
01:45Is she rejecting me?
01:47I can't believe how shameless he is.
01:54So many women fall for his stupid act.
01:58I don't think we've met yet.
02:00Yeah, I'm kind of new around here.
02:02I know.
02:03The new Executive System of William.
02:05I'm Christopher Hayes, William's brother.
02:07Half-brother.
02:08Excuse me?
02:10I mean, Wilson.
02:11Lily Wilson.
02:12Pleasure to meet you.
02:12How do you know we're half-brothers?
02:16You know, people talk.
02:22Will you excuse me?
02:23I have to run to the restroom.
02:25Too much wine.
02:25How's your little task coming along?
02:35Good.
02:36Trying to keep everything under the radar.
02:39Anyone suspecting you?
02:41No, I don't think so.
02:42Though Christopher seems a little bit too interested in me.
02:46He can't know who you are or what your purpose is.
02:49He can only gain from this.
02:52Don't worry, madam.
02:53Everything is under control.
02:54Oh, good.
03:01May I help you, sir?
03:03I'm here to see my son, William.
03:05Oh, Mr. Hayes.
03:07Oh, it is a pleasure to meet you.
03:08I'm Lily Wilson, your son's new Executive Assistant.
03:12Tell my son I need to speak with him.
03:16Yes, sir.
03:16Of course.
03:20Mr. Hayes.
03:21Crazy party, Rossi.
03:26We decided to be extended back here.
03:29Sir, your father is here to see you.
03:31And I'm sure he won't appreciate the extended party.
03:35Why didn't you say anything?
03:37Shit.
03:37What am I going to do?
03:39First, you need to fix yourself.
03:41And, Miss, please get dressed.
03:43Mr. Hayes, I will be right back with Sophia to finish that meeting.
03:57Mr. Hayes, would you like any coffee?
03:59No, thank you.
04:00You may go.
04:01Okay.
04:03Missed your birthday party last night, so I came by to see you.
04:07I'm surprised you remember my birthday, father.
04:09How could I forget?
04:11Your drunken shenanigans are front page news.
04:14Look, I told you I didn't want any more controversies to shame the Hayes family.
04:18Yes, sir, Captain Father, sir.
04:19I'll make sure to stop doing everything I watched you do when I was a child.
04:22That's enough!
04:24That's enough.
04:26You are lower than low.
04:28Now, you do as I say, not as I do.
04:30And if you want to remain the CEO, you need to settle down and focus your energies on the company.
04:36And, uh, if you're caught hanging around with any more half-price hookers, you're done.
04:57Lily, come into my office.
05:00As if it wasn't bad enough for you to embarrass yourself in front of your own party, you embarrass yourself in front of the entire office.
05:12What makes you think you can talk to me like this?
05:15If I'm going to say something to someone, I'm going to say it in their face.
05:20I am your boss.
05:22You do not speak to me this way.
05:24I think it's about time that you heard the truth.
05:26Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to fetch your baby bottle.
05:31Oh, right.
05:32Coffee black.
05:34Coming right up.
05:35I run this company, not her.
05:46Don't even look at her.
05:51Ugh.
05:52Here he comes.
05:53What does he want now?
05:55Mr. Hayes.
05:57That's my name.
05:57Yeah.
05:59I need to meet Mr. Harrison this week to finalize his contract.
06:04Okay.
06:05And I need you to accompany me on this trip.
06:09Why did I take this job?
06:10Of course.
06:12I'll make the necessary preparations.
06:15Perfect.
06:17Anything else, Mr. Hayes?
06:18Another baby bottle, perhaps?
06:20No.
06:21You make it all.
06:22Yeah.
06:26Walk away.
06:35What do you think, Mr. Hayes?
06:37Uh, I...
06:39Mr. Hayes is totally on board with the merch.
06:43Isn't that right, Mr. Hayes?
06:45Yes.
06:46I never thought I could find such a smart and beautiful assistant.
06:49Her professionalism, her beauty, and the way she saved me from trouble.
06:54Then I believe we can proceed with the contract.
07:03All good?
07:04All right.
07:05Pleasure doing business with you.
07:06You too, sir.
07:12It's moments like this that I'm reminded that love truly is an illusion.
07:16And my job as a mistress manager is the only thing that really matters.
07:24Can't sleep either?
07:27I'm not used to sleeping alone.
07:29Good company always makes it better.
07:32Hmm.
07:33Oh, come on.
07:34Join me.
07:35See that?
07:45That's Cassiopeia.
07:47And that red star over there, it's about to go supernova.
07:52It's sad, the death of a star.
07:56But it could also be the most beautiful thing that you've ever seen.
07:59I didn't know you were so knowledgeable.
08:05It's beautiful.
08:07It is.
08:08Just like you.
08:09Still chasing after that delectable Miss Lily, I guess.
08:32Need I remind you that any woman I want, I get.
08:37Very confident.
08:38Let's make things interesting, shall we?
08:40Interesting?
08:41I wager three days.
08:43Three days to bed Lily.
08:45And if you fail,
08:47how about I tell Dad about your most recent scandal you try to cover up?
08:51You've got a deal, asshole.
08:52I thought this place would be fitting.
09:06Well, it certainly is grand.
09:09They have the most exquisite wine.
09:12I've ordered us a vintage that's, well, it's legendary.
09:17Oh, so sorry.
09:20I'm, damn it, clumsy tonight.
09:23Yeah, he's nervous.
09:24Mr. Hayes, you seem a little tense.
09:28What?
09:28No, I'm perfectly relaxed.
09:31How does she see right through me?
09:33Just try this one.
09:34William, you don't need to impress me.
09:36What do you mean?
09:39I'm not one of your business associates
09:41or whatever other woman you're used to charming.
09:45Those tactics aren't going to work on me.
09:47Just be yourself.
09:51The real you.
09:53Not the one you think I want to see.
09:55The real me?
09:58Yeah.
09:59The one who looks at the stars.
10:03The one who gets nervous around a good bottle of wine.
10:07The one who cares.
10:09I like that, William.
10:11You do.
10:18Okay.
10:24Thank you for joining me for dinner.
10:28It's over.
10:30Uh, I...
10:31Walk with me.
10:33Okay.
10:33I do wish I got to play more as a kid.
10:40Yeah, but...
10:41You gotta play games, right?
10:43Like what?
10:44Like...
10:45Tag.
10:46You're it!
10:47Wait, what?
10:48This isn't fair.
10:48I don't know how to play.
10:50You just have to find me, but you gotta be quick.
10:52This is a childish game.
10:54Yeah, that's the point.
10:55I got you.
11:01Fine, you win.
11:02Say it again.
11:06You win.
11:10Good night, Mr. Hayes.
11:12I hope you had fun.
11:19Shit.
11:20What am I going to tell Christopher?
11:30Christopher.
11:31So?
11:32I told you.
11:34Any woman I want.
11:36So you've conquered Lily.
11:38Okay.
11:40Yes.
11:41I conquered Lily.
11:43Fine.
11:44You win.
11:46Fair and square.
11:47What?
11:50How could he?
11:58You ready for that lunch meeting?
12:00I think I'll pass.
12:02What's wrong?
12:08Congratulations on winning.
12:10Or should I say, conquering me?
12:13What?
12:14What are you?
12:15A dictator?
12:18Or was it just the satisfaction of getting whatever woman you want?
12:25Which you didn't, by the way.
12:27So...
12:28Lily, wait.
12:29Get your hands off of me.
12:31Lily, you have to understand.
12:32I really started to believe that you were more than just a selfish womanizer, but I...
12:38This is different.
12:39I know it sounds bad.
12:41That's what they all say.
12:42Christopher is...
12:43He's trying to ruin me.
12:45That's the only reason I played along with this stupid game.
12:48Please, Lily.
12:50You have to believe me.
12:52I don't know what to believe anymore.
13:09Of course.
13:10Just like the womanizer I knew you were.
13:13Does that normally work for you?
13:15Spilling champagne on women and leaving them to clean it up?
13:18They were talking about you.
13:19And?
13:20I didn't like it.
13:21Anyone who talks about you like that...
13:23What are you going to do?
13:24Kick their ass?
13:26Well, well, well.
13:27It isn't the golden boy and his...
13:30accessory.
13:32You know, I always wondered how you climbed it up so fast.
13:35Okay, okay.
13:37Hold.
13:38I suggest you apologize to Miss Wilson.
13:41Now.
13:44Apologize.
13:46To this ladder, climb and look.
13:48Yeah.
13:51I'm going to kick their ass.
13:54Let's get out of here.
14:02I didn't expect that.
14:04I've never met anyone like you, Lily.
14:07What do you mean?
14:08You see right through me.
14:10You're intelligent.
14:11You're smart.
14:12Well, that's not hard to do.
14:14Maybe not.
14:16But you challenge me.
14:18You make me want to be...
14:19a better man.
14:21I never wanted to hurt you.
14:26William?
14:29Christopher.
14:30What a surprise.
14:33Am I interrupting you?
14:34No, I...
14:35I was just leaving, actually.
14:37Um...
14:38Excuse me.
14:39Excuse me.
14:43What am I doing?
14:48William.
14:49I never wanted to hurt you.
14:50I can't fall for him.
14:52I have a mission to accomplish.
14:56He is just another client.
15:02What, Christopher?
15:04I know a way to fix your scandal.
15:06Make it all go away.
15:07You do.
15:10Yeah, but...
15:11you need to turn on that charm.
15:13I need...
15:14to find Lily.
15:15You think Lily...
15:17is gonna want you after she finds out about everything you've done?
15:20Trust me, come on!
15:22Bed this woman.
15:24And this all...
15:25goes away.
15:26Brother...
15:28allow me to introduce Erica.
15:30She's an up-and-coming actress with a bright...
15:33future ahead of her.
15:34It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Hayes.
15:37I've heard so much about you.
15:39The pleasure is all mine, miss.
15:42Of course.
15:45Why did I think he was any different?
15:47Isn't she lovely?
15:49Just William's type.
15:50Indeed.
15:51Listen.
15:52I've seen the way you look at him.
15:55But let me warn you.
15:56He is always gonna choose someone like her.
15:59Don't waste your time.
16:01Go home.
16:02I think he's found his prize for the evening.
16:07He's never moved this fast before with anyone.
16:11Something's not right about this.
16:13It's too sudden.
16:14Too calculated.
16:16Something's off.
16:17It's like she's...
16:19playing a role.
16:21Oh, darling.
16:22This wine is exquisite.
16:24Only the best for you.
16:31Exquisite.
16:32An undercover journalist.
16:36She's trying to get dirt on William to expose his personal life.
16:47Lily?
16:48What is it?
16:49Mr. Hayes?
16:51May I have a word with you?
16:52In private?
16:53So...
16:58William.
16:59I need to tell you something.
17:01It's about Erica.
17:03I don't think she is who she says she is.
17:06Lily.
17:06Yeah?
17:06You don't understand.
17:08Then tell me.
17:09I can't.
17:10I'm sorry.
17:11I have to do this.
17:14William?
17:15We need to go.
17:16We're gonna be late.
17:17Coming, dear.
17:17I'm coming.
17:17I am going to get you out of this, William.
17:23Trust me.
17:28Psst.
17:30Could you send a glass of your finest champagne to that couple over there?
17:35And if that glass of champagne happens to end up on the young lady's lap, it wouldn't be the worst thing.
17:42Watch it, you imbecile!
17:44Pardon me, sir and madam.
17:45I'm gonna go get that cleaned up right away.
17:47Just wait.
17:48Will?
17:49Who is she?
17:50Oh, what is this?
17:52I'm his girlfriend, you home-working bitch.
17:54Well, wait.
17:56You can clean it up with that.
18:05Sorry, William.
18:06But that should get rid of her.
18:10I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Hayes.
18:13Cut the crap.
18:14Do you have any idea what you've done?
18:16What the hell were you thinking?
18:17Erica won't talk to me.
18:19Isn't that what you wanted?
18:20You're free.
18:22No, I'm not!
18:24You had no business to interfere.
18:26Oh, I see.
18:28So it's perfectly acceptable for you to knock a guy in the jaw for me, but I can't save you from a gold-digging witch.
18:34Save me?
18:35You have no idea what you've done to me!
18:38I am protecting you from a woman who is using you.
18:42Oh, stop, Lily!
18:44She is a journalist, William.
18:46An undercover journalist who is trying to expose your personal life.
18:51Christopher introduced you to her intentionally.
18:53You don't think I know that?
18:57You know?
18:58Yes.
19:00She's been writing a series of expose articles on me.
19:03Christopher knows this.
19:04Christopher!
19:04He and Erica have stories on me that could ruin me unless I play along.
19:09But, William, do you plan on playing along for the rest of your life?
19:12Everything she has on me, she's going to use!
19:18I'm going to fix this.
19:19Lily, you can't.
19:20I can, and I will.
19:22Lily, just stop.
19:23It's too late.
19:23No, I can't be.
19:24Why do you care so much?
19:25Because I...
19:26Because what?
19:27Because I have feelings for you!
19:33Lily, I...
19:34I...
19:35Tell me you don't feel something for me, too.
19:38It's complicated.
19:40It doesn't have to be.
19:42You think I want to put you in her crosshairs?
19:45Make you her target?
19:48Why not?
19:50I won't sacrifice you.
19:54You won't?
19:56I can't.
19:58So this is it?
20:00Please.
20:02I have a certain image to maintain.
20:05My father's legacy depends on it.
20:07I know.
20:08You don't know how much I know.
20:10Lily, wait.
20:12I think it's best we part ways.
20:15You're firing me?
20:17Don't make this harder for me.
20:19But you want this.
20:22I know you do.
20:23I know you do.
20:27Have a nice life, Mr. Hades.
20:29Bitch.
20:40Bitch.
20:45What?
20:46Wait.
20:50Wait.
20:52This is it.
20:53Wait, is that...
20:55William, no!
20:56Oh, I have an idea.
21:00Hey, hey, hey.
21:01You know what's more interesting than a boring old drunk guy?
21:04Hey, look, lady.
21:05Get lost.
21:06This shit right here is gold.
21:07What if I told you that his girlfriend's in there right now cheating on him?
21:11And I'll tell you if you delete that photo.
21:13All right, say less.
21:14Let's go.
21:14Okay.
21:15They're in there to the left.
21:22Hey, stranger.
21:23Lily?
21:24You okay?
21:25Hey, come here.
21:27She's going to ruin me.
21:28No, no.
21:28I don't think so.
21:30I think she's a little preoccupied right now.
21:32God, you want to stop me?
21:34Stop.
21:34Get back here.
21:36Hello?
21:38Uh, I think I'm witnessing an assault on Ginger Street.
21:41Yeah, thank you.
21:44Give me the camera.
21:46All right, come on.
21:47Let's get you home.
21:50Are you crazy?
21:51Come here.
21:53Stand up.
21:53No!
21:55All right.
21:57Lily, hi.
21:59Shh.
21:59Drink some water.
22:00I'm ruined.
22:04William, you're too drunk to know this right now, but you are not ruined.
22:07I promise.
22:09Everything is going to be okay.
22:14Good morning, sleepyhead.
22:23How did I get here?
22:25You don't remember?
22:27No.
22:27Why don't you open your phone and read the news?
22:31The news?
22:31What news?
22:33CEO's conquest arrested after caught cheating in Cotton Club.
22:36What?
22:38Erica Roberts.
22:39CEO William Hayes' latest bill was found cheating with an unknown hot guy and assaulted
22:45a paparazzi after pictures were taken of the affair.
22:47Erica Roberts was quickly taken into police custody and was fired by her employer, effective
22:54immediately, destroying any credibility she may have built for herself.
23:00You...
23:00You saved me.
23:03Told you I would.
23:05You're free.
23:06You're welcome.
23:07You're welcome.
23:08Are you ready?
23:09Am I ready?
23:09I'm ready.
23:10Do you want to know what happened?
23:11Yeah.
23:11Oh my God.
23:42What the hell is this?
23:47What do you mean? Erica cheated on me.
23:50William, you understand the only way to fix your image and keep this role is for you to settle down.
23:56You said you were picking out rings.
23:59Yes, Mother.
24:01That's because Erica was blackmailing me.
24:04Do you really want me to marry someone who would do that?
24:07If it wasn't for Lily.
24:08What? Lily did this?
24:11No, Mom. No.
24:21Oof, yeah.
24:23I'd be pissed too if my blackmailing slut got arrested and lost all credibility to ruin my brother's life.
24:30Fuck you.
24:31What is wrong with you?
24:33All I ever did was protect you.
24:35I don't need your protection.
24:37You have to stop this.
24:42Make me.
24:44You want to hit me?
24:45Is that it?
24:46Be the man you can never be.
24:49The man you never will be.
24:54You're no brother of mine.
24:56We need to talk, Miss Wilson.
25:03You were supposed to keep my son's personal life private.
25:06I warned him about Erica.
25:08Well, then you should have come to me.
25:10I would have found a way to kill the article.
25:12Kill the article?
25:14Erica cheated on him.
25:15He deserves better.
25:17This will ruin his chances of staying CEO.
25:20It was Christopher.
25:23What?
25:24Christopher was the one who introduced Erica to William at the company gala.
25:28Christopher.
25:29That little scheming snake.
25:32Thank you for telling me.
25:33But you're finished meddling with my family.
25:36Your only job is to keep him from falling back into his old patterns.
25:39Is that clear?
25:48I don't deserve you.
25:53One second.
25:54I'm sorry.
25:55I have to get this.
26:02Hello?
26:04She what?
26:08How did she?
26:09But she...
26:11What is it?
26:14She did it.
26:16Erica somehow got someone else to publish her article against me.
26:19Everyone knows everything.
26:24Mr. Russell?
26:25No, Mr. Russell, I assure you, this is a smear campaign from an angry ex.
26:29It's all lies.
26:31No, but the numbers speak for themselves.
26:34No, please, just let me explain.
26:37Hey!
26:38What's happening?
26:40What's happening?
26:41Russell's pulling out.
26:42The whole deal is about to collapse.
26:45I'm about to lose everything.
26:46Everything I've ever worked for.
26:48No, you're not.
26:50Everything's gonna be okay.
26:52Okay?
26:53Trust me.
26:54Okay?
26:55We got this.
26:56We got this.
26:59I know.
27:01Russell's withdrawal is just the beginning.
27:03The other investors are getting spooked.
27:05If I don't take care of this now, the whole company could go under.
27:09Let's assess the damage.
27:11What's our biggest weakness right now?
27:13The narrative.
27:15And everyone's buying it.
27:16I need to change the perception.
27:18And fast.
27:19We need a counter strategy.
27:24We need to speak, William.
27:28You.
27:28Get out.
27:31This article?
27:32It's a disaster.
27:33Dad, I'm trying to fix it.
27:35It's not just about bad press, William.
27:38It's about your judgment.
27:39Your priorities.
27:41You've lost your focus.
27:43That I can explain.
27:44I don't need explanations.
27:45I need results.
27:47Now.
27:48You have one week to salvage this deal and regain the trust of the investors.
27:55Because if you fail, you're out.
27:59For good.
28:06William?
28:09He's right, you know.
28:11I messed up.
28:14Everybody makes mistakes.
28:16I believe in you.
28:22I'm going to address this head on.
28:24I'm holding a press conference.
28:25Mr. Hayes.
28:26Are you sure that's wise?
28:27The public perception.
28:28We're going to straighten this out.
28:30I'm doing this.
28:31I want to address the most recent article published about my personal life.
28:42While I acknowledge that some of my actions in the past are regrettable, the portrayal of
28:46me as a heartless playboy is deliberately misleading and factually inaccurate.
28:51Are you denying these allegations, Mr. Hayes?
28:55I'm not denying that I've made mistakes.
28:57But my mistakes do not define me and they do not define Hayes Group.
29:01I'm here today to prove that I am dedicated and committed to this company.
29:05And most importantly, I want to introduce you to the woman who stood by me through this difficult
29:11time.
29:11My fiancee, Lily Wilson.
29:14This is a PR stunt.
29:16This is not a stunt.
29:17This is my life.
29:19And I'm choosing to share it with the world.
29:22Thank you, Lily.
29:23For everything.
29:24What are we doing?
29:29This could benefit both of us.
29:31You already helped me salvage the company.
29:33And this arrangement will solidify your position and protect you from any fallout.
29:40Arrangement?
29:42You're proposing a fake engagement?
29:44Well.
29:45William, I don't want to use you to protect me.
29:48I'm not Erica at all.
29:50And I know we haven't talked about us, but I've been wanting to...
29:53I already told you I don't deserve you.
29:58Stop.
29:59But I want to earn it.
30:01Think of this as a placeholder for maybe the future.
30:05And then we can get out of here.
30:07Far, far away.
30:10Fine.
30:12I'll do it.
30:13But on one condition.
30:15Anything you want.
30:16Not a word of this to anyone.
30:19If we want it to be convincing enough.
30:21Deal.
30:23This is unacceptable.
30:37That little skimming bitch!
30:41I need to teach her a lesson.
30:45Find out everything you can on Lily Wilson.
30:47Everything.
30:49I want to know her secrets, her weaknesses, her past.
30:56I'll teach you a lesson on playing games, Ms. Wilson.
30:59If there's one thing I know about William,
31:02you can never say no to a good time.
31:03You know, you're not at all that I expected.
31:14Oh?
31:15And what were you expecting?
31:18A cold, ruthless businessman.
31:22A heartless playboy.
31:25And what did you get?
31:26A man who's been hurt.
31:29A man who's afraid to open up.
31:34Hey.
31:38Tell me.
31:39There was never any room for vulnerability.
31:47It was always about proving myself and getting my father's approval,
31:53which of course never came.
31:56I thought if I surrounded myself with enough people, enough distractions,
32:01I would forget about the loneliness.
32:02You're not alone, William.
32:06You will never be alone.
32:08Ever again.
32:19Oh, hey.
32:20You're still here?
32:22No.
32:22I'm leaving.
32:23There's a big after-premiere party happening at Old Smith's Bar.
32:26Old Smith's?
32:27That's my favorite bar.
32:29Oh, yeah.
32:30It is.
32:31Well, I'll see you.
32:32I'm going to be late.
32:33Apparently there's an open bar and hot models,
32:35and I definitely can't miss that.
32:37Hey, wait up.
32:39What?
32:40I thought you were too good for these type of things now.
32:44Uh-oh.
32:46Your old lady's calling you.
32:47You should probably get that.
32:52I'm going.
32:53You're driving.
32:55Whatever.
32:57Fine.
32:57He's playing right into my hand.
33:00I'm going to grab one more.
33:06One more.
33:08Another one.
33:08Another round.
33:09Another round.
33:10Another round.
33:11Another round.
33:13Hey.
33:15Cheers.
33:16Cheers.
33:17Cheers.
33:17Cheers.
33:18I don't know.
33:20I...
33:20Whoa.
33:21Whoa.
33:22Ooh.
33:25It's Lily.
33:28Lily.
33:28Hey, it's Christopher.
33:29Sorry.
33:29I know it's late, but I think you need to come get William.
33:32He's...
33:32gone too far.
33:34Okay.
33:35See you.
33:36Hey, I'm so sorry.
33:46I know it's late.
33:46I just thought you'd be the best to call.
33:48I know he's been trying to be different.
33:50Where is he?
33:56Wait.
33:57Wait.
33:59You're really hot, but...
34:01No, I can't.
34:03No.
34:03It's not what your brother said.
34:10But...
34:11Chris?
34:13William?
34:15Look, it's not what it looks like.
34:17How could you?
34:19Let me explain.
34:19Don't bother.
34:21I've seen enough.
34:23I really...
34:25I really thought that you had changed.
34:27It's not what it looks like.
34:29Oh, really?
34:30Because it looks like you were getting lip service from a dirty skank in a bar.
34:33It was a moment of weakness.
34:35Christopher...
34:35You can't blame Christopher for everything wrong in your life.
34:38In the charade...
34:40If you stay at this company, you will keep falling into Christopher's trap.
34:45But...
34:45The company...
34:46The company will survive, but...
34:49Our relationship won't if you don't make a choice.
34:53It's...
34:54It's me with them.
35:00Your choice.
35:03I choose you.
35:05I don't want it.
35:06I don't...
35:07I want you.
35:09I want a real relationship with you.
35:13Let's make a deal.
35:14That bitch is ruining my plans!
35:24This can't be happening!
35:27If William wins back our father's favor, I'll be left with nothing!
35:35But I do still have a few cards to play.
35:38I just need to go and find them.
35:44You think it's real?
35:48Or just for the cameras?
35:50Don't let them get to you.
35:52I'm not.
35:55Darling, you look positively smitten.
35:58Tell me, how long do you think this little charade will last?
36:01Erica, you're out.
36:03I didn't know they let criminals in here.
36:06He'll tire of you soon enough.
36:07He always does.
36:09I'm not worried.
36:10Well, you should be.
36:12He's just using you.
36:14Just like he used me.
36:15Just like all of the others.
36:17You can deny all you want, but I know the truth.
36:20I know all about this little engagement stunt.
36:23Tell me, has he...
36:26slipped up?
36:27That's enough, Erica.
36:28Fine.
36:30Fine.
36:30But don't say I didn't warn you.
36:32I'm coming for you both.
36:35And I will not rest until I expose both of you.
36:41Cheers.
36:42Are you okay?
36:44I'm fine.
36:47I'm just tired of the games.
36:49Me too.
36:50I'm tired of the whispers.
36:53The doubts.
36:55The rumors.
36:56I want everyone to know.
37:04Can I have everyone's attention?
37:07We are aware of the rumors, and we want to set the record straight.
37:11This relationship is real.
37:13This is not a publicity stunt.
37:16This is not a business arrangement.
37:18It's love.
37:18We face challenges.
37:22We face scrutiny.
37:24But our feelings for each other have only grown stronger.
37:27There's nothing I wouldn't do for her.
37:30And nothing she wouldn't do for me.
37:39I've never done anything like that before.
37:42Me neither.
37:44I meant it, you know.
37:45Every word.
37:47I know.
37:48I love you, Lily.
37:54I love you, William.
37:58I never thought I could be this happy.
38:03Boardroom?
38:05I know we can miss a change of scenery.
38:07I like it.
38:12Ready for another productive day, Mr. Hayes?
38:14Only if it involves a few.
38:17Distractions.
38:19I was hoping for a lot of distractions.
38:23Mom?
38:25Shit.
38:27Shit.
38:29William?
38:31William?
38:32Why is the boardroom locked?
38:34I need to speak with you.
38:35Just a minute.
38:37Okay, zipper.
38:38Son, this is urgent.
38:41William?
38:42William?
38:43William?
38:44William?
38:45Why is the boardroom locked?
38:47I need to speak with you.
38:48Just a minute.
38:49I need to speak with you.
38:50Just a minute.
38:51Okay, zipper.
38:52Son, this is urgent.
38:53William?
38:54William?
38:55Mrs. Hayes, how are you?
38:57Live.
38:58Out.
38:59Now.
39:00I'll deal with you later.
39:01How dare you?
39:02Mrs. Hayes, it was never my intention.
39:03Mrs. Hayes, I told you to keep my son's personal life under the radar when I hired you and to cover for his mistresses. I didn't ask you to become one of them.
39:09I know, but I-
39:10You are nothing but a scheming, ladder-climbing mistress manager. I'll deal with you when the time is right.
39:11A plan?
39:12No.
39:13No.
39:14No.
39:15No.
39:16No.
39:17No.
39:18No.
39:19No.
39:20No.
39:21No.
39:22No.
39:23No.
39:24No.
39:25No.
39:26No.
39:27No.
39:28No.
39:29No.
39:30No.
39:31No.
39:32No.
39:33No.
39:34No.
39:35No.
39:36No.
39:37No.
39:39No.
39:40No.
39:41No.
39:42Kinky, but OK.
39:43You'll never guess what I just found out.
39:44It's something that'll really shake things up.
39:47William and Lily may have won the battle, but they will not win the war.
39:52Umm... tell me more.
39:54What an unpleasant surprise.
39:58Still playing the role of devoted fiancé, I see.
40:02It's not an act, Erykah.
40:05You won't win, Lily.
40:07I'll make sure he sees you for the fraud you really are.
40:11I have nothing to hide.
40:14We'll see about that.
40:22You look like you're about to explode.
40:24I'm not the one who's steaming.
40:27It's just after the other day with your mother.
40:31Yeah, she's not exactly known for her warm welcomes.
40:36So embarrassing.
40:39Hey, it's just you and me.
40:43And honestly, this is easier.
40:46At least they already know we're together.
40:52Ben, you want to put some clothes on now?
40:56Yeah.
41:01Ah, William, Lily, you made it.
41:10Darling, I've missed you.
41:13You look lovely, dressed.
41:16Look who it is.
41:18Welcome to the family, Miss Wilson.
41:21Shall we?
41:29You know, love can be fleeting.
41:32A passing fancy.
41:34Especially when you barely know someone.
41:37Or even their past.
41:39Or what they're hiding.
41:41Am I right, Lily?
41:43I'm not the one lurking over William's position.
41:46Or scheming to ruin his reputation.
41:48Enough!
41:49Know your place, Miss Wilson.
41:52Apologize to her right now!
41:53How dare you speak to me that way!
41:56No, I built this empire!
41:58I sacrificed everything for you!
42:00You sacrificed us!
42:02You sacrificed our happiness for your ambition!
42:05And we will not let you throw it away on this, this, this girl!
42:08Her name is Lily.
42:10I love her.
42:11Love?
42:12You don't even know her.
42:14I know more about love than you.
42:16You ungrateful little shit!
42:18William, please!
42:19Oh, let them fight.
42:21It's quite entertaining.
42:23I'm not you, Dad.
42:25I won't make the same mistakes.
42:35William, what brings you here?
42:38We need to talk.
42:39About what?
42:40Your latest romantic escapade?
42:42No.
42:43I was so angry, Dad.
42:46Angry at you.
42:48Angry at the world.
42:50I thought if I could fill my time with enough distractions, I'd be able to cover that void that I felt.
43:00I know, son. I know.
43:02When I was a kid, I watched how much more affection you gave Christopher.
43:07While you were cold and heartless towards me.
43:11I needed that connection.
43:13I needed your love.
43:15Look, I thought if I treated you that way, you'd be tough enough to take over the family business one day and rule with an iron fist.
43:29I am so sorry, William.
43:33I love Lily, Dad.
43:35She's the one who filled that void.
43:38I know she did.
43:40I'm proud of you, son.
43:45I want to raise a glass to Lily Wilson, a rising star in this company.
43:54Her determination, her intelligence, and her drive make her a valuable asset.
43:59And the most important woman in my life.
44:04Congratulations.
44:06You really did it.
44:08Thanks.
44:09Who would have thought?
44:11From managing mistresses to making deals worth millions.
44:16What did you say?
44:18I know your little secret.
44:19And soon, I won't be the only one.
44:23Good evening, mistress manager.
44:31What's on your mind?
44:32You seem...
44:33distant.
44:34William, there's something I need to tell you.
44:37About...
44:39How we met.
44:40What do you mean, Lily?
44:42Remember when I first started working at Hayes Group?
44:45As your assistant?
44:47Yeah.
44:48You were incredible.
44:49Your mother...
44:51Your mothers would have hired me?
44:54My mother...
44:55I don't...
44:56I don't understand.
44:58She was worried about your...
45:00Your reputation.
45:02Your...
45:03The company.
45:04Your...
45:05Your father taking everything away from you.
45:06And...
45:07You were seeing multiple women.
45:08And she just...
45:09She just wanted me to manage it.
45:10I...
45:12Manage it?
45:14What does that even mean?
45:16To...
45:17To keep them...
45:18From causing any trouble.
45:19I...
45:20You were spying on me?
45:21And my mistresses?
45:22No, no.
45:23No, but...
45:24Yes, but I...
45:26I started to fall for you and I didn't need for it to happen.
45:29I'm so sorry.
45:31How could I believe anything that you say?
45:34Please, William, please.
45:36I need some time to think.
45:43How could she do this to me?
45:46Please, William.
45:47It wasn't like that.
45:48I...
45:49I care about you, William.
45:51Care about me?
45:53You were spying on me.
45:55For my mother.
45:56No, no.
45:57It wasn't like that.
45:58You're no better than Erica.
46:01Please.
46:02William.
46:03Don't do this.
46:05What about our life together?
46:06What about us?
46:07I...
46:09How can I trust anything that you say?
46:11Or do?
46:12I'm not lying to you now.
46:15Please.
46:17Don't do this.
46:18It's over, Lily.
46:25I needed to prove to myself, and to William, that I could succeed on my own terms.
46:33Lily.
46:35Could you come in the conference room a minute and meet our new partner?
46:38Of course.
46:39Mr. Hayes, allow me to introduce Ms. Wilson.
46:46She is the person who built this company.
46:49Excuse me, I...
46:56Lily.
47:02I was a fool.
47:04A blind, arrogant fool.
47:07What are you talking about?
47:10I chose ambition over love.
47:12I chose my career over you.
47:15William, I...
47:17I was so focused on proving myself.
47:20The betrayal with my brother.
47:22And when you told me how my mom hired you, I didn't see what was right in front of me.
47:26You were hurt.
47:28I understand.
47:30I wasn't hurt.
47:31I was scared.
47:33Scared of vulnerability.
47:35Scared of falling in love with somebody who will betray me.
47:38You never have.
47:40I see that now.
47:42I know.
47:44I forgive you.
47:46If you forgive me too.
47:49I forgive you, my love.
47:51Can we have a fresh start?
47:54No more lies.
47:56No more secrets.
47:58No more lies.
48:00No more secrets.
48:04Mom, please.
48:07Happiness is a fleeting thing.
48:09Responsibility.
48:11Legacy.
48:13These are the things that truly matter.
48:16You've changed, William.
48:18I have.
48:20Lily has shown me that there's more to life than ambition.
48:23She's filled the emptiness I never knew I had.
48:25And it's all thanks to her.
48:27Perhaps.
48:29Perhaps I was wrong.
48:31I owe you an apology, Lily.
48:33I was wrong about you.
48:35I was blinded by my own prejudices.
48:38My own fears.
48:40I didn't see you as the woman who...
48:42captivated my son.
48:44He has a good heart.
48:46He does.
48:47And you've made it even better.
48:52Lily, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but...
48:57I want you to know that I'm happy for you and William.
49:01Thank you, Mr. Hayes.
49:03William, I think it's time, sir.
49:06Lily, I want to do this differently.
49:07But something's telling me this is right.
49:10When I first met you, I never imagined that I would fall in love with somebody who is strong, intelligent, and beautiful.
49:17You make me a better man.
49:19William.
49:21Lily Wilson.
49:23Will you do me the honor of being my wife?
49:26Yes!
49:28Oh my god, a thousand times yes!
49:38By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
49:44You may kiss the bride.
49:53This is the happiest day of my life.
49:56Mine too.
49:58William.
50:00I have to tell you something.
50:03We're gonna have a baby.
50:05A baby?
50:07You're gonna have a baby?
50:09Oh my god!
50:13We're having a baby!
50:15I love you too, Lily.
50:17I love you too, Lily.
