00:00:00The employee with the worst performance has to wear a bottom ranker shirt and walk around for everyone to see.
00:00:05This time, the poor performance is my wife's old claim.
00:00:08But she swept my top sales numbers with her old claims.
00:00:19Edward Quinn, you were at the bottom last month.
00:00:22Come on, put this on and start your walk of shit.
00:00:24Ed's been our top sales guy for eight years.
00:00:2599% of the business are from his deals.
00:00:28How could he be at the bottom?
00:00:29Last month.
00:00:30I saw him close a five million deal.
00:00:31Mr. Reed, are you sure about these numbers?
00:00:34Look closely.
00:00:36This data was put together personally by his wife, our CEO.
00:00:40How could there be a mistake?
00:00:41You!
00:00:44I don't believe it.
00:00:46Eh?
00:00:46One word from me, and she switched the numbers.
00:00:49Edward, don't tell me you still don't get it.
00:00:52You'll always be my stand-in.
00:00:55And I am the one she truly wants.
00:00:57Lauren.
00:00:59Lauren.
00:01:00Honey, Nathan is thin-skinned.
00:01:01The public shaming may cause him mental issues.
00:01:03You heard the champ.
00:01:04So unstoppable, it's okay, huh?
00:01:05As long as you promise me, I'll have your baby.
00:01:12Lauren.
00:01:12The doctor says my mom's getting worse.
00:01:14She's got at most one year left.
00:01:15Her last wish is to see her grandchild.
00:01:17Can we...
00:01:18Edward.
00:01:18How can you be so selfish?
00:01:20My company's on the rise.
00:01:22You want me to have a baby now?
00:01:23What about my company?
00:01:26Lauren Carter.
00:01:27When my mom was sick and wanted a grandchild,
00:01:29you refused no matter what.
00:01:30And now, you'd go this far.
00:01:32For Nathan Reed.
00:01:36The numbers are certainly right.
00:01:38Edward, this is a rule we set a long time ago.
00:01:40If you don't put it on, we'll dock your pay and bonus.
00:01:43Money or your pride.
00:01:44You decide.
00:01:44This time,
00:01:49I choose Niter.
00:01:53I'm done with you and the company.
00:01:55You dare to quit.
00:01:58I'm done with you and the company.
00:02:01You dare to quit.
00:02:03Miss Carter,
00:02:04Edward has been our top sales champ for eight years.
00:02:06Every big deal we landed was thanks to him.
00:02:08If he leaves, the company's finished.
00:02:10Edward.
00:02:11Miss Carter didn't mean it like that.
00:02:12If there's a problem between you,
00:02:13go home and talk it out.
00:02:15Don't threaten to quit every time.
00:02:16It's hurting your relationship.
00:02:17Have you had enough?
00:02:18You act more mature and rational.
00:02:20Always threatening to quit.
00:02:21What's the point?
00:02:22Is this really necessary?
00:02:24First of all,
00:02:25I didn't threaten to quit every time.
00:02:27This is the only time in eight years at this company.
00:02:29Second,
00:02:30I'm not threatening you.
00:02:31This is my resignation letter.
00:02:32Please approve it, Miss Carter.
00:02:33Edward, don't be impulsive.
00:02:34Yeah, Edward.
00:02:35The company can't lose you.
00:02:36Leonard,
00:02:37Kurt,
00:02:38you don't need to persuade me.
00:02:39This time,
00:02:39I'm serious.
00:02:40Eight years ago,
00:02:41I helped Lauren start his company.
00:02:43For eight years,
00:02:44I worked tirelessly
00:02:45and always topped the sales charts.
00:02:47But after all this time,
00:02:48I'm still just a regular employee.
00:02:51Honey,
00:02:51you're my husband.
00:02:53What's mine is yours.
00:02:54Sales manager?
00:02:55Don't take it so seriously.
00:02:56It's just some title.
00:02:57I believed her.
00:03:03For eight years,
00:03:05I kept my head down.
00:03:07She changed managers ten times,
00:03:08and every time,
00:03:09I was slapped out.
00:03:10Three months ago,
00:03:11we celebrated our eighth anniversary
00:03:13together.
00:03:14Honey,
00:03:15if you win top sales again this month,
00:03:17the sales manager position
00:03:18is yours.
00:03:20All right.
00:03:22Because of that promise,
00:03:24for a whole month,
00:03:24I worked day and night chasing sales.
00:03:27Crinking with Mr. Foster
00:03:28ruined my stomach.
00:03:29I got treated like a dog
00:03:30by Mr. Harris.
00:03:31Finally,
00:03:32I crushed the competition.
00:03:34But she gave the position
00:03:35to her old fling,
00:03:37Nathan Reed.
00:03:38Honey,
00:03:40Nathan's got a PhD from Stanford.
00:03:42He's got the education and skills.
00:03:43He's better suited to run the company than you.
00:03:45Why don't you give him
00:03:46the position this time?
00:03:48Forget it.
00:03:49I'm the one who should leave.
00:03:50It's my fault
00:03:51for always insisting on
00:03:52rules and procedures
00:03:53and ended up
00:03:54upsetting everyone.
00:03:55Edward
00:03:55is always the champion
00:03:56and the husband of Miss Carter.
00:03:58I should have
00:03:59given you this respect.
00:04:00I apologize to you.
00:04:01I'm sorry.
00:04:02Nathan!
00:04:03You don't have to.
00:04:04Edward,
00:04:04have you had enough of this?
00:04:05Nathan is the sales manager now.
00:04:06If you keep humiliating him,
00:04:08how is he supposed to manage
00:04:09the team going forward?
00:04:11Lauren Carter,
00:04:13I humiliated him?
00:04:14Can you please focus a little more?
00:04:16Open your eyes and look.
00:04:17Who's the one being humiliated here?
00:04:19Lauren,
00:04:19don't ruin things.
00:04:21Between you and Edward
00:04:22because of me.
00:04:22This is all my fault.
00:04:23Maybe I should leave.
00:04:25Hey,
00:04:25don't!
00:04:28The drama king
00:04:29is on the move again.
00:04:30I really don't get it.
00:04:31Why does Mr. Carter
00:04:31let him be the manager?
00:04:32He has no real skills
00:04:33and is so arrogant.
00:04:34Last time she gave
00:04:35my client to him,
00:04:36the drama king
00:04:36was so arrogant about it.
00:04:37Not only did he piss off client,
00:04:39he blew the whole deal.
00:04:40Exactly.
00:04:40He messed up one of my deals too.
00:04:42But instead of blaming him,
00:04:43Lauren chewed me out
00:04:44for half an hour.
00:04:45Said my clients were low end
00:04:46and if I brought in clients
00:04:47like that again,
00:04:48I could just get out.
00:04:50Lauren Carter,
00:04:51I can't believe you would
00:04:52force them
00:04:52to hand over clients to Mason
00:04:54just to protect him.
00:04:57Lauren,
00:04:57I was planning to come back
00:04:58and help you
00:04:59after finishing my PhD.
00:05:00Never expected
00:05:01Edward would get the wrong idea.
00:05:03Don't.
00:05:03Don't worry.
00:05:04I'll make sure you get justice.
00:05:05Come on.
00:05:06Edward,
00:05:07can't you think about
00:05:08the big picture here?
00:05:08Nathan's got a PhD from abroad.
00:05:10He's a top tier talent.
00:05:11Do you know how many companies
00:05:11offered him high pay?
00:05:13He only stayed because of the bond
00:05:14we built back in school.
00:05:16If you drive him away,
00:05:17how's our company supposed to grow?
00:05:18I'm mad at him.
00:05:20He literally faked the numbers
00:05:21and humiliated me.
00:05:22But somehow you're saying
00:05:23I'm the one humiliating him.
00:05:24How did he fake the data?
00:05:25It's clear you're at the bottom.
00:05:27Didn't you have a time
00:05:27when your numbers were worse too?
00:05:29Didn't he also wear that shirt
00:05:30and dress up as a frog?
00:05:31Why are you so embarrassed now?
00:05:33I think you're just seeing
00:05:34that I've ground the company
00:05:35and now you're all bitter about it.
00:05:37You really know how to twist things.
00:05:38If my numbers aren't really at the bottom,
00:05:40I'll admit defeat.
00:05:41No complaints.
00:05:42But if you want me to take the fall for Nathan,
00:05:45no way in hell.
00:05:49Here's the sales report
00:05:50I printed ahead of time.
00:05:51Take a good look.
00:05:53Let's see
00:05:53who the real bottom ranker is.
00:06:08I'm saying how could Ed
00:06:09would possibly be the worst?
00:06:11Nathan took so many of our clients
00:06:12and he's still dead last.
00:06:13What do you mean?
00:06:14I just want to choose to come out.
00:06:16What?
00:06:17Feeling protected now?
00:06:18How can I tell
00:06:23if these numbers are real or fake?
00:06:26See these?
00:06:27Those contracts.
00:06:28They're already signed,
00:06:29just not filed yet.
00:06:30If you don't believe it,
00:06:31you can check for yourself
00:06:32and see if it's true.
00:06:36Are you blind or what?
00:06:37How do you even get the data backwards?
00:06:39Right now,
00:06:39pack your stuff and get out!
00:06:40Miss Carter, I did it.
00:06:41I swear I did it.
00:06:42Whatever!
00:06:44You're fired.
00:06:45Get her out of here!
00:06:46It wasn't me.
00:06:47Lauren Carter, come on.
00:06:49Didn't expect you'd toss out
00:06:50your own secretary.
00:06:52Just to cover for Nathan,
00:06:53I guess you've forgotten
00:06:54what got you started
00:06:55in the first place.
00:06:56All right, enough.
00:06:57Back to work.
00:06:58Meeting's over.
00:07:01Hold up.
00:07:03Mr. Reed,
00:07:04you're not even dressed yet.
00:07:05Where are you going?
00:07:09Mr. Reed,
00:07:10didn't you just say
00:07:10you stick to your principles
00:07:12just doing your job?
00:07:13So what now?
00:07:14Your principles
00:07:15don't apply to you?
00:07:16What's wrong, Nathan?
00:07:17It's just putting on an outfit,
00:07:18walking around the office.
00:07:19No big deal.
00:07:21Yeah,
00:07:21we've all done it before.
00:07:23Nathan,
00:07:23you can't be the one
00:07:24to break the rules.
00:07:25How can you win our trust then?
00:07:26Lauren.
00:07:27Hey.
00:07:31Did you make those calls?
00:07:32Did you follow up
00:07:33with the clients?
00:07:34All you do
00:07:34is stir up drama every day.
00:07:35If you have that time,
00:07:36why not close a few more deals?
00:07:37Break it up!
00:07:38Edward.
00:07:38Why is everyone
00:07:44looking at me?
00:07:45I don't work here anymore.
00:07:47See you around,
00:07:48guys.
00:07:49Edward!
00:07:50Edward!
00:07:54Hey,
00:07:55Edward!
00:07:55Edward!
00:07:56Edward!
00:07:57I'm sorry,
00:07:58okay, babe?
00:07:59I messed up.
00:08:00You know,
00:08:00Nathan's the manager
00:08:01I brought up myself.
00:08:02If he couldn't do the job,
00:08:03how would the team see me?
00:08:05I was just scared
00:08:06the staff would talk
00:08:07behind my back.
00:08:08I messed up.
00:08:09Just give me one last chance.
00:08:11Don't leave, please.
00:08:14Not necessary.
00:08:15I...
00:08:16Lauren,
00:08:18I just took a hit emotionally.
00:08:19I'm not feeling great.
00:08:20Can you help me out?
00:08:21I got something to handle.
00:08:23Don't make a scene.
00:08:24Give me back my payroll card.
00:08:26Why do you need the card?
00:08:27That's my personal property.
00:08:28All right, all right.
00:08:29Here, take it.
00:08:30Go home and get some rest.
00:08:31I'll give you a day off.
00:08:31Come to work tomorrow.
00:08:34Lauren Carter.
00:08:36This time,
00:08:36I'm really not giving you
00:08:37another chance.
00:08:41Hello?
00:08:41Edward,
00:08:42it's James.
00:08:43My mom suddenly got really sick.
00:08:44I'm overseas and I can't get back.
00:08:45Could you stay with her
00:08:46out of the hospital?
00:08:47Mr. Foster,
00:08:47please don't worry.
00:08:48I'll be right there.
00:08:49Lauren Carter,
00:08:50you think sales
00:08:51is just about having
00:08:52a fancy degree?
00:08:53Nathan is too proud
00:08:54to actually serve the client,
00:08:56so he'll never be
00:08:56a good salesperson.
00:08:59Edward,
00:09:00thank you so much.
00:09:01These past few days,
00:09:02you've been caring for me
00:09:03day and night.
00:09:04Ma'am,
00:09:04Mr. Foster is one
00:09:05of my biggest clients.
00:09:06Taking care of you
00:09:07is really the least
00:09:07I can do.
00:09:08That brat.
00:09:09Hey.
00:09:10Don't worry.
00:09:11When he gets back,
00:09:12I'll make sure he gives you
00:09:13all his future business.
00:09:14Ma'am,
00:09:15please don't do that.
00:09:16Mr. Foster is a big boss.
00:09:17It's normal for him
00:09:18to be busy.
00:09:18I'm not looking after you
00:09:19just for the business.
00:09:21Mom.
00:09:23Mom,
00:09:24are you okay?
00:09:24Edward's been here
00:09:25the whole time,
00:09:26or if you were any later,
00:09:27you might not have seen me again.
00:09:28Mom,
00:09:29you know,
00:09:29work's been crazy.
00:09:30Besides,
00:09:31Edward is so thoughtful.
00:09:32With him looking after you,
00:09:33I don't have to work.
00:09:33So is he supposed to owe you,
00:09:34or do you owe him?
00:09:35Why would he take care of me?
00:09:37No one in our family
00:09:38forgets the kindness.
00:09:39Mom,
00:09:40don't worry.
00:09:41I get it.
00:09:44Edward,
00:09:44from now on,
00:09:45every order
00:09:46from Foster Group
00:09:47is yours.
00:09:47Tomorrow,
00:09:48I'll sign a deal
00:09:48at your company.
00:09:49No need,
00:09:49Mr. Foster.
00:09:50I've already left the company.
00:09:51Weren't you Lauren's husband?
00:09:53How did you end up leaving?
00:09:54There's a lot
00:09:54to that story.
00:09:56But Mr. Foster,
00:09:57I do have a favor
00:09:57to ask of you.
00:09:58Say the word.
00:09:59I'd walk through fire for you
00:10:00if you needed it.
00:10:01Hey, guys.
00:10:02So sorry I'm late.
00:10:03Well,

00:10:25Are you not feeling well?
00:10:26Nathan, aren't you
00:10:27going to say something?
00:10:28Yeah.
00:10:31Sorry.
00:10:32Something just came up.
00:10:33Let's hang out next time.
00:10:36Nathan, what's going on?
00:10:37Yeah.
00:10:38Why did she just leave
00:10:39all of a sudden?
00:10:40You know,
00:10:41Lauren is a CEO.
00:10:42She's got a lot on her plate.

00:11:05Got it.
00:11:06Honey, don't get the wrong idea.
00:11:07I just, I saw you were upset yesterday
00:11:09and I wanted to make it up to you.
00:11:10I wasn't sure what you'd like,
00:11:12so I asked Nathan
00:11:13to help me pick something else.
00:11:16Look, do you like it?
00:11:19It's the latest collection,
00:11:21over 10,000 each.
00:11:24Are you sure you bought this for me?
00:11:26Of course, I'm your wife.
00:11:28Who else would I buy it for?
00:11:29With my body?
00:11:30You think I can fit
00:11:31into a side desk?
00:11:31This is for Nathan, isn't it?
00:11:32Honey, let me explain.
00:11:34I did get this for you.
00:11:35I just messed up the size.
00:11:37Don't worry,
00:11:37I'll go exchange it.
00:11:40Hey,
00:11:41your noodles are ready.
00:11:44Why are you eating so little?
00:11:48Boss,
00:11:49I'll have some sliced beef,
00:11:51one spicy chicken,
00:11:52and a bottle of beer.
00:11:53Got it.
00:11:54Take your time.
00:11:59Young man,
00:12:00your wife treats you really well.
00:12:03All right,
00:12:04what do you want from me?
00:12:05Honey,
00:12:06you've been working too hard lately,
00:12:08so I signed you up
00:12:08for a 10-day Europe tour package,
00:12:10so why don't you let Nathan
00:12:11handle your clients for a while?
00:12:15Don't worry,
00:12:16your commission
00:12:17will stay exactly the same.
00:12:18I promise you won't lose out.
00:12:20Lauren Carter,
00:12:20I always knew every nice thing
00:12:22you did for me,
00:12:23head and angle.
00:12:24Babe,
00:12:25you're basically a senior employee
00:12:27here now.
00:12:27You should give the new folks
00:12:28a chance to learn and grow, right?
00:12:30Come on,
00:12:30I'm your wife,
00:12:31the whole company is yours anyway,
00:12:32right?
00:12:33All right?
00:12:34Seriously?
00:12:34Of course.
00:12:37Beat up.
00:12:39Once I leave the company,
00:12:40all my clients
00:12:42will go to Nathan Reed.
00:12:44I'm quit.
00:12:46Wait, babe.
00:12:46I never even approved
00:12:48your resignation.
00:12:49You posted online.
00:12:49Are you crazy?
00:12:53Hello?
00:12:54Miss Carter,
00:12:55heard Edward just left the company.
00:12:56Once this contract's up,
00:12:57we're not renewing our partnership.
00:12:58No way.
00:12:59It's just a little spat between us.
00:13:01We'll patch things up.
00:13:02Hello?
00:13:03Hello?
00:13:04Hey.
00:13:05Mr. Scott,
00:13:06resign.
00:13:08No way.
00:13:09Even if he leaves the company,
00:13:10he's still my husband.
00:13:11What?
00:13:16Lauren Carter,
00:13:21let's get a divorce.
00:13:22Yeah, okay.
00:13:23What did you say?
00:13:24Nothing.
00:13:25Just signed us.
00:13:27Hey, Nathan.
00:13:28It's fine.
00:13:29Don't blame yourself.
00:13:30It's all because
00:13:31Edward is throwing a tantrum.
00:13:32You guys go ahead and eat.
00:13:33I'll come find you guys in a bit.
00:13:36Edward.
00:13:38Honey!
00:13:38Hey!
00:13:39You haven't paid for your meal.
00:13:41Oh, sorry about that.
00:13:42Huh?
00:13:43Huh?
00:13:43Huh?
00:13:44Huh?
00:13:44Huh?
00:13:45Huh?
00:13:45Huh?
00:13:46Huh?
00:13:46Oh, don't worry.
00:13:48Edward Quinn is just in a mood.
00:13:49I'll go home and talk him down.
00:13:50Trust me.
00:13:51There's no way he's actually quitting.
00:13:53Huh?
00:13:55Huh?
00:14:13Babe,
00:14:14I was just talking about the cuff earlier.
00:14:15If you don't want to hand your clients,
00:14:17just say no.
00:14:17Why are you upset?
00:14:19Babe,
00:14:20please just text me back.
00:14:21Don't give me a cold shoulder, okay?
00:14:23Lauren Carter,
00:14:24if you had just come home right now,
00:14:26you would have found me there.
00:14:28However,
00:14:29just to be with Nathan,
00:14:31you gave up your last chance.
00:14:36Edward,
00:14:37you probably don't know,
00:14:38but my relationship with Lauren
00:14:39never actually ended.
00:14:40This is a photo of us on vacation in Maldives.
00:14:50This is a photo of us traveling in Iceland.
00:14:53This is the Patek Philippe Lauren gave me for my birthday last year.
00:14:56Edward Quinn,
00:14:57honestly,
00:14:58I should thank you for working so hard.
00:15:00Otherwise,
00:15:01I wouldn't have what I have today.
00:15:02Oh,
00:15:02right.
00:15:03Tonight,
00:15:04you don't need to wait for her.
00:15:07Lauren,
00:15:07you lost the game,
00:15:08so you have to give Nathan a kiss.
00:15:09Yeah,
00:15:09that's the rule of the drinking game.
00:15:11Lauren,
00:15:11you're not going to embarrass him, right?
00:15:13Kiss him!
00:15:13Kiss him!
00:15:14Kiss him!
00:15:14Kiss him!
00:15:16It's okay if you don't want to.
00:15:17I don't mind looking bad.
00:15:19Just don't give him the wrong idea.
00:15:26Mr. Foster,
00:15:27do me a favor.
00:15:28Hi,
00:15:29there's only 6.98 left on this card.
00:15:31Could you print out the past 8 years' bank transactions
00:15:33from this debit card?
00:15:35Sure.
00:15:36I've worked 8 years
00:15:37and earned over a million in salaries.
00:15:38All this time,
00:15:39you told me to be frugal.
00:15:40Who knew?
00:15:40All that money went into supporting Nathan.
00:15:42Honey,
00:15:43last night,
00:15:43I was drinking with Mr. Scott
00:15:44and he puked on me by accident.
00:15:45I have to meet a client today.
00:15:47Give me my payroll card.
00:15:47I need to buy a new suit.
00:15:48No need.
00:15:51I've got it ready for you.
00:15:52Thanks, honey.
00:15:55Honey,
00:15:56this suit feels a little tight.
00:15:58I'm sorry, honey.
00:15:59I bought the wrong size.
00:16:01I was so stupid.
00:16:02I actually believed you.
00:16:03Just got the wrong size.
00:16:05Turns out,
00:16:06it was just the trash Nathan Reed didn't want.
00:16:08Lauren Carter,
00:16:09Nathan Reed,
00:16:10since you teamed up to bleed me dry,
00:16:12don't blame me for fighting back.
00:16:14From now on,
00:16:15I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:16:18Mr. Quinn,
00:16:19with this evidence,
00:16:20we can definitely help you get your money back.
00:16:22Even if you want to file for divorce,
00:16:23you're very likely to win.
00:16:24Thank you, Ms. Ro.
00:16:24Edward,
00:16:28where did that punk Nathan even come from?
00:16:30He's trying to steal your clients,
00:16:32and now he's coming after me.
00:16:33I'm going there with some guys to mess him up.
00:16:35Mr. Harris,
00:16:35don't get worked up.
00:16:36Just agree to it.
00:16:37Are you insane, Edward?
00:16:38These are deals worth tens of millions.
00:16:40Relax.
00:16:41I've got a plan.
00:16:42All right, then.
00:16:42I'll trust you on this.
00:16:43After all,
00:16:44you've done me a huge favor before.
00:16:45From now on,
00:16:46all my business goes through you.
00:16:47Deal.
00:16:47Deal.
00:16:47I'll leave the rest to you, Ms. Ro.
00:16:52Don't worry.
00:16:54Edward,
00:16:55get to the office.
00:16:56I'm only coming for one thing.
00:16:58It's to resign.
00:16:59That's what I'm calling you for.
00:17:00All right.
00:17:01I'm on my way now.
00:17:11Congratulations to Mr. Reed
00:17:13for landing a huge deal.
00:17:14Total value,
00:17:1540 million.
00:17:16Everyone give it up.
00:17:17To encourage everyone to compete,
00:17:24I've decided to promote Nathan Reed
00:17:26to sales director.
00:17:28Let's welcome him.
00:17:33Ms. Carter,
00:17:35looks like not everyone's throat.
00:17:37Edward,
00:17:37don't think we can't run without you.
00:17:39Whatever you can do,
00:17:40Nathan can do too.
00:17:43Lauren Carter,
00:17:44do you really think Nathan Reed
00:17:46can't close those two big deals?
00:17:49Edward,
00:17:50can you stop being so arrogant?
00:17:51You can land a big deal,
00:17:52but why can Nathan do it?
00:17:53Nathan's got a PhD from abroad,
00:17:55a top-tier talent
00:17:55that every major company
00:17:56is fighting over.
00:17:57And you're a loser
00:17:58with a high school diploma.
00:17:59Why do you have to compete with him?
00:18:01Me?
00:18:02I'm a loser?
00:18:03Eight years ago,
00:18:03since you started this company,
00:18:05which big client
00:18:05wasn't brought in by me,
00:18:06and now,
00:18:07you call me useless.
00:18:08I'm not even going to argue with you.
00:18:09Today,
00:18:10just swallow your pride
00:18:11and apologize to Nathan.
00:18:12Maybe then I'll consider
00:18:13letting you stay.
00:18:13Otherwise,
00:18:14pack your stuff and get out!
00:18:16Lauren,
00:18:16don't blame him too much.
00:18:18After all,
00:18:18he's poorly educated
00:18:19and narrow-minded.
00:18:20He mistakes
00:18:21the platform for his own ability.
00:18:22Let's give him one more chance.
00:18:24Did you hear that?
00:18:25You're always targeting Nathan,
00:18:27and he's still speaking up for you.
00:18:28That's the difference between people.
00:18:30He's got a big heart,
00:18:31doesn't hold grudges,
00:18:32unlike you.
00:18:33So petty and calculating.
00:18:34You're threatening to quit
00:18:35over something minor.
00:18:36If someone like you
00:18:36really left my company,
00:18:38you'd be a nobody.
00:18:39Lauren,
00:18:40don't say that about him.
00:18:41Just give him one more chance, okay?
00:18:42He is your husband, after all.
00:18:43How about this?
00:18:44Let's make him a supervisor.
00:18:45Under my management,
00:18:46I'll teach him properly.
00:18:47Did you hear that?
00:18:48Aren't you going to thank Nathan?
00:18:51Here.
00:18:52The employment contract.
00:18:53Sign it.
00:18:54Take it.
00:18:55From now on,
00:18:56you're a supervisor
00:18:57reporting to Nathan.
00:18:58All sales commissions
00:18:58will be split nine to one.
00:19:00You get one,
00:19:01he gets nine.
00:19:02That's outrageous.
00:19:02All of the contracts
00:19:03were signed by Edward.
00:19:04What gives Nathan
00:19:0590%?
00:19:06Exactly.
00:19:07What's so special
00:19:08about Nathan anyway?
00:19:09The contracts signed today,
00:19:10weren't those all Edward's clients?
00:19:11Yeah, that's right.
00:19:12What are you waiting for?
00:19:13Hurry up and sign.
00:19:20Edward,
00:19:20what the hell is this?
00:19:22If anyone wants to sign
00:19:22a slave contract,
00:19:23be my guest.
00:19:24Today,
00:19:25I'm here to resign.
00:19:26Just sign my resignation already.
00:19:27Stop wasting my time.
00:19:29You're really stubborn
00:19:30as a rock,
00:19:30aren't you?
00:19:31You want to quit?
00:19:32Fine,
00:19:33I'll sign.
00:19:34Just wait until Nathan
00:19:45takes all your clients away.
00:19:46Let's see what you're made of.
00:19:48Mr. Harris,
00:19:49Mr. Foster,
00:19:49glad you could make it.
00:19:50The contracts are all ready.
00:19:51We can renew today.
00:19:52Edward,
00:19:53have you signed your resignation?
00:19:54It's done.
00:19:55Edward has left the company.
00:19:56Now Nathan Reed
00:19:57is in charge of our contracts.
00:19:58Mr. Foster,
00:19:59Mr. Harris,
00:20:00I'm Nathan Reed.
00:20:00Graduated from Stanford University
00:20:02with a PhD in economics.
00:20:03If you work with me,
00:20:04I guarantee your company
00:20:05will reach new heights.
00:20:06What the hell is this?
00:20:08Such a big mouth.
00:20:08Oh, yeah.
00:20:09Sounds like a dog
00:20:10barking for no reason.
00:20:11Miss Carter,
00:20:13we're not here to sign any contracts.
00:20:15We're here to terminate.
00:20:16What?
00:20:17Terminate?
00:20:18It's not just us.
00:20:19They're all here too.
00:20:20All 56 company presidents
00:20:30are here to back out.
00:20:32Miss Carter,
00:20:41this is our termination contract.
00:20:44Mr. Foster,
00:20:45weren't we supposed
00:20:45to renew our partnership?
00:20:47Why are you going
00:20:47back on your word now?
00:20:48If Edward was still here,
00:20:49maybe we'd be renewing now.
00:20:50But the thing is,
00:20:51he's already left, right?
00:20:52Miss Carter,
00:20:53you've been CEO
00:20:54for a few years now.
00:20:55How could you be so stupid
00:20:56as to cut someone
00:20:57so critical to the business?
00:20:58Mr. Foster,
00:20:58Mr. Harris,
00:20:59Edward and I are married.
00:21:00We're just having a little spat.
00:21:01I'll calm him down.
00:21:02He'd never actually quit.
00:21:04Can't we forget
00:21:04about the termination?
00:21:05But why do I see
00:21:06that you've already
00:21:07signed the resignation papers?
00:21:08That was all just for show.
00:21:10The process isn't even finished yet.
00:21:12It doesn't count.
00:21:12It doesn't count.
00:21:14Edward,
00:21:15explain to them
00:21:16you didn't really mean
00:21:17to quit, right?
00:21:19Fine.
00:21:20I'll see it.
00:21:21I knew it.
00:21:22My husband would never
00:21:22leave me hanged.
00:21:23Hey, Edward, you...
00:21:24Hey, Raymond,
00:21:25hold on a second.
00:21:26Let's hear what Edward
00:21:27has to say.
00:21:28Hmm.
00:21:29Thank you, everyone,
00:21:30for coming here
00:21:31to support me today.
00:21:32I want to announce
00:21:32that starting today,
00:21:34I am officially leaving
00:21:36this company.
00:21:39I hereby announce
00:21:40starting today,
00:21:42I'm leaving
00:21:44this company.
00:21:48Edward,
00:21:49what are you playing at?
00:21:50Lauren Carter,
00:21:51don't you think
00:21:51I'm useless?
00:21:52Don't you think
00:21:53that without this company,
00:21:54I'm nothing?
00:21:55Don't you believe
00:21:55Nathan can take my place?
00:21:57Fine.
00:21:57I'll do exactly
00:21:58what you want.
00:21:59I'm resigning
00:21:59and giving you
00:22:00and Nathan Reed
00:22:01the chance
00:22:02to show what you can do.
00:22:03I was just speaking
00:22:03in anger.
00:22:04Why are you taking
00:22:04this so seriously?
00:22:05But still,
00:22:06Nathan just finished
00:22:07his PhD.
00:22:08He doesn't have
00:22:08much experience.
00:22:09I'll keep his position
00:22:10open for you.
00:22:11Please don't quit, okay?
00:22:12Be firm before being humble.
00:22:14Lauren Carter,
00:22:14you're so ridiculous.
00:22:16Even now,
00:22:16you're still making
00:22:17excuses for him.
00:22:18That's really
00:22:18no hope for you.
00:22:19That's enough, Edward!
00:22:20Who are you
00:22:21to judge Lauren?
00:22:22Don't forget,
00:22:23she's the one
00:22:23who started this company.
00:22:24You only got here
00:22:25a little before me
00:22:25and has a bigger
00:22:26client list than I do.
00:22:27That's why you're on top.
00:22:28If it was a fair competition,
00:22:29you might not be
00:22:30better than me.
00:22:30So you're saying
00:22:31as long as you get
00:22:32the chance,
00:22:33you could steal my clients?
00:22:34Of course.
00:22:34All right.
00:22:35Here's my
00:22:36entire client list.
00:22:37I'm giving you this shot.
00:22:39You can go talk
00:22:39to them face to face.
00:22:40Let's see if you
00:22:41can win them over.
00:22:43Edward,
00:22:44don't come crying later.
00:22:46Hello, Mr. Harris.
00:22:47My name is Nathan Reed,
00:22:49a PhD in economics
00:22:49from Stanford.
00:22:50If you partner with me,
00:22:51I promise I'll help
00:22:52your company grow bigger.
00:22:55James,
00:22:55didn't we just hear
00:22:56the same pitch somewhere?
00:22:58When we walked in,
00:22:59I think we already
00:23:00heard that line.
00:23:01Oh, Nathan Reed.
00:23:02Now I remember.
00:23:03You're the guy
00:23:04who called yesterday
00:23:04trying to poach me.
00:23:05That clueless rookie, right?
00:23:07Mr. Harris,
00:23:08please show some respect.
00:23:09I'm not a clueless rookie.
00:23:10If you can't even
00:23:10take a little pressure,
00:23:11why are you even in sales?
00:23:12Exactly.
00:23:13Always putting on airs,
00:23:14acting like you own some place.
00:23:15No way he's closing
00:23:16any deals like that.
00:23:18Respect.
00:23:19You haven't earned it.
00:23:20Don't think just because
00:23:21you've got a PhD,
00:23:22you're special.
00:23:23My company's full of people
00:23:24like you.
00:23:24And none of them
00:23:25would dare talk back to me.
00:23:27Who do you think you are?
00:23:28Get out!
00:23:29You!
00:23:30Nathan,
00:23:30Mr. Harris had ties
00:23:31to Dawn of the World.
00:23:32He's not easy to win over.
00:23:33How about talking to
00:23:33Mr. Foster instead?
00:23:34He's much more approachable.
00:23:36I'll give it a shot.
00:23:37Mr. Foster,
00:23:40could I have a work with you?
00:23:41No.
00:23:42Not only will I not work with you,
00:23:44but so will every CEO here.
00:23:46Why not?
00:23:48I mean,
00:23:48I have a PhD.
00:23:49My credentials and skills
00:23:50are better than his.
00:23:51How am I not as good as him?
00:23:52Why pick him over me?
00:23:54Why?
00:23:54Because you don't deserve it.
00:23:56Edward and I go way back.
00:23:57Every CEO in this room
00:23:58owes him something.
00:23:59And you think you could sign us
00:24:00just with a couple of lines?
00:24:02That's just wishful thinking.
00:24:03Yeah, we only trust Edward.
00:24:04That's right.
00:24:05If Edward leaves,
00:24:06we're ending our contracts.
00:24:07Mr. Foster,
00:24:08if you're willing to renew with us,
00:24:09I'm willing to...
00:24:10to...
00:24:11knock 30% off!
00:24:15Nathan Reed,
00:24:16are you insane?
00:24:16Our company barely makes
00:24:1720% in profit.
00:24:18He's talking about 30%.
00:24:19That's basically a loss.
00:24:20Nathan,
00:24:2130% will be pleading money.
00:24:23Lauren, don't worry.
00:24:24A temporary loss
00:24:25isn't a problem.
00:24:26We'll make it back.
00:24:27I promise.
00:24:28Lauren,
00:24:28don't stress.
00:24:29My professors always said
00:24:30a price war is the best way
00:24:32to attract customers.
00:24:33Lauren,
00:24:33trust me,
00:24:33I can do this.
00:24:36Edward,
00:24:36talk some sense into Lauren.
00:24:37The company can't handle
00:24:38a loss like this.
00:24:39What will be will be.
00:24:41If she really is this reckless,
00:24:42nothing I can do.
00:24:43Miss Carter,
00:24:44was that guy serious
00:24:45about the 30% discount?
00:24:47Lauren,
00:24:48stop hesitating.
00:24:49Do you really want to let
00:24:50Edward walk all over me?
00:24:55That's right.
00:24:56What Nathan said
00:24:57is exactly what I mean.
00:24:58Since the profit margin
00:24:59is so high right now,
00:24:59I'm sure everyone's on board, right?
00:25:01Since Lauren has made the call,
00:25:02why would I refuse?
00:25:04Go on,
00:25:05drop a new contract.
00:25:06Yes.
00:25:07Miss Carter,
00:25:07you can't do this.
00:25:08Our cash flow is already tight.
00:25:10This could ruin the company.
00:25:12Leonard,
00:25:13when do sales reps
00:25:14run operations?
00:25:14Just go back to your post.
00:25:15I may not know much
00:25:16about management,
00:25:17but I do know
00:25:17without cash,
00:25:18the company is doomed.
00:25:19Miss Carter,
00:25:20I've worked here
00:25:20for eight years.
00:25:22We don't want to see
00:25:22the company go under.
00:25:23Miss Carter,
00:25:24you can't let Nathan
00:25:25keep messing around anymore.
00:25:26That's right,
00:25:26Miss Carter.
00:25:27Nathan's only been here
00:25:28a few months
00:25:28and already turned our department
00:25:29completely upside down.
00:25:30Even throw that word out.
00:25:31You can't let us go on.
00:25:32You can't keep listening to us.
00:25:33Oh, you shut up.
00:25:34Nathan is a Stanford grad
00:25:35with a PhD.
00:25:35His credentials
00:25:36are better than all of yours.
00:25:37Who are you to question him?
00:25:38Say one more word.
00:25:39I'll fire you all.
00:25:41Mr. Foster,
00:25:42the draft is ready.
00:25:43Since you negotiated this deal,
00:25:45you should sign it.
00:25:45All right,
00:25:47I'll sign it.
00:25:48Edward,
00:25:49see this?
00:25:50I can take your client
00:25:51anytime I want.
00:25:52So what?
00:25:52Well, congrats to you.
00:25:53Go ahead.
00:25:54No problem.
00:25:56And not just one client.
00:25:57I can bring over 10 more
00:25:58if I want without the company.
00:26:00Who are you now?
00:26:01Edward,
00:26:01I'm giving you one last chance.
00:26:03If you come back,
00:26:04I can still make you
00:26:05a sales manager.
00:26:06I don't really want
00:26:07that chance,
00:26:08Miss Carter.
00:26:09You really should
00:26:10take a good look
00:26:10at the contract.
00:26:11What's there to look at?
00:26:12Mr. Foster and I
00:26:13haven't partnered for years.
00:26:14You think you'd screw me over?
00:26:15Miss Carter,
00:26:15I'm telling you,
00:26:16you really should check it.
00:26:18Fine.
00:26:22What the hell?
00:26:23100 million!
00:26:25Leonard.
00:26:26Mr. Foster,
00:26:27didn't we agree that
00:26:28it would be for 20 million?
00:26:29Why are you suddenly
00:26:30renewing for that much?
00:26:31Miss Carter,
00:26:32I remember when we just discussed,
00:26:33Mr. Reed
00:26:34never mentioned
00:26:35any contract limits.
00:26:36Since you're being so generous,
00:26:37of course I'd want
00:26:37as much as possible.
00:26:38That's right.
00:26:39Who told this idiot
00:26:40to sign the contract
00:26:41without even reading it?
00:26:43A monthly profit
00:26:44is just over 10 million,
00:26:45but for this contract
00:26:46we'll lose over 30 million.
00:26:47Our company's finished.
00:26:49Nathan,
00:26:50our company's cash flow
00:26:51really is only
00:26:52a few tens of millions.
00:26:53If we lose 30 million
00:26:54on this,
00:26:54we're really done for.
00:26:56Come on,
00:26:56think of something.
00:26:57I believe there's always a way.
00:26:58Oh,
00:26:59got it, Lauren.
00:27:00All right.
00:27:00I trust you.
00:27:03Mr. Foster,
00:27:03let's redo the contract.
00:27:05This one
00:27:05doesn't count.
00:27:06Why does this contract
00:27:07suddenly not count?
00:27:08Because
00:27:09I'm just a sales manager.
00:27:11I don't have the authority
00:27:12to sign a contract this big.
00:27:14Sales manager, eh?
00:27:17But why does the banner say
00:27:18Mr. Reed's sales director?
00:27:20That's just for show.
00:27:21The process isn't finalized
00:27:22and the appointment
00:27:23hasn't started.
00:27:24I'm still a manager.
00:27:26So you mean
00:27:27you're giving up
00:27:28the director position
00:27:29and admitting Edward is better.
00:27:31So what you're saying is
00:27:34to give up the director position
00:27:36and admitting Edward is better.
00:27:39Director Reed,
00:27:40why are you looking at me?
00:27:41Mr. Foster is asking you.
00:27:43Lauren,
00:27:43I'm sorry.
00:27:44I didn't check the contract carefully.
00:27:46I should just leave.
00:27:47Don't stress.
00:27:47You're just lacking experience.
00:27:49Doesn't mean you're worse than him.
00:27:51Edward,
00:27:52can you be a little more generous?
00:27:53Do you have to keep pushing like this?
00:27:54Miss Carter,
00:27:55so you do know
00:27:56I'm in the right.
00:27:57I thought you'd already
00:27:57let love close your judgment.
00:27:59Can't even tell right
00:28:00from wrong anymore.
00:28:01You...
00:28:01Edward,
00:28:04we were married for years.
00:28:06What's in it for you
00:28:06if the company fails?
00:28:07Can we just let this go today?
00:28:10I'll make a ride at home, okay?
00:28:11Married?
00:28:12That's already over.
00:28:13Miss Carter,
00:28:15what's the point of telling me
00:28:16the person you offended
00:28:17is Mr. Foster?
00:28:17It doesn't matter
00:28:18if I let it go.
00:28:19Are you guys done talking yet?
00:28:22Kid,
00:28:22are you clueless
00:28:23or just pretending?
00:28:24Mr. Foster was giving you a way out
00:28:26and you didn't even get it.
00:28:27Jeez,
00:28:28too much pride.
00:28:29Not enough sense.
00:28:29How can he even work in sales?
00:28:31I have no idea
00:28:31what Miss Carter sees in him.
00:28:32He's no one here
00:28:33as good as Ed.
00:28:33Forget it.
00:28:34Mr. Harris,
00:28:35let's get out of here.
00:28:36Oh, right.
00:28:37Miss Carter,
00:28:37don't forget to fulfill the contract.
00:28:38I want that 100 million
00:28:39in goods right now.
00:28:42Hey, wait!
00:28:43Nathan was right.
00:28:44He's just a sales manager
00:28:45in our company.
00:28:46He doesn't have the right
00:28:47to sign a 10 million contract.
00:28:48So,
00:28:49this contract is invalid.
00:28:52Miss Carter,
00:28:53we've worked together for years.
00:28:54I'm not here
00:28:55to take advantage of you.
00:28:56Let's just drop this contract.
00:28:58I just want you to see through this
00:28:59who's actually valuable
00:29:01and who's the black sheep.
00:29:03That's right.
00:29:04This rookie is not even worth
00:29:05an intern in my company.
00:29:07I really don't get
00:29:08why you treat him
00:29:09like a treasure.
00:29:10You too.
00:29:10Don't be so harsh.
00:29:11Nathan does have some skills,
00:29:13just last experience.
00:29:14I'll give him some solid training.
00:29:15Make sure all of you
00:29:16are satisfied with him.
00:29:17No need for that.
00:29:18Our two companies
00:29:19won't be partners anymore.
00:29:20As for terminating,
00:29:21talk to your lawyer about it.
00:29:22We're leaving.
00:29:24Hey!
00:29:25Don't go, Mr. Foster!
00:29:26Can we talk this through?
00:29:27Miss Carter, hello.
00:29:28I'm the attorney
00:29:28representing Mr. Foster.
00:29:3056 other CEOs
00:29:30in charge of handling
00:29:31your contract terminations.
00:29:32All of them want to terminate?
00:29:33That's the instructions
00:29:34I received, yes.
00:29:35Oh no.
00:29:36It's over.
00:29:37It's all over.
00:29:39Miss Carter,
00:29:40please finish up
00:29:40my resignation paperwork.
00:29:42I'm in a hurry.
00:29:43Edward,
00:29:43can you help me talk to them?
00:29:45Ask them not to terminate
00:29:46the contract with me.
00:29:46Miss Carter,
00:29:50I'm just useless.
00:29:51Nathan's the real genius.
00:29:53What's the point of begging me?
00:29:54Go beg your Nathan.
00:29:55Stop right there!
00:29:57Your resignation letter,
00:29:58I'm not approving it.
00:29:59Whatever.
00:30:00Once I submit my resignation,
00:30:01I can leave automatically.
00:30:03In a month.
00:30:04Approve it or not,
00:30:05it's your call.
00:30:05Who do you think you are?
00:30:06You really think this company
00:30:07can't run without you?
00:30:09I don't buy it.
00:30:10I've got Nathan here
00:30:11and so many other employees.
00:30:12You think you're better
00:30:13than all of them?
00:30:13That's right.
00:30:14Don't worry, Lauren.
00:30:14I'm a Stanford PhD.
00:30:16Sales is easy for me.
00:30:16I'll definitely get it done.
00:30:18I'll help you
00:30:18land bigger clients
00:30:19in no time.
00:30:20Well, then let me congratulate.
00:30:21Mr. Reed,
00:30:22I miss Carter in advance.
00:30:24What are you waiting for?
00:30:25Get the hell back to work!
00:30:31Hey, Kurt.
00:30:33Now that Edward's gone,
00:30:34what are we even doing here?
00:30:36Maybe we should just quit too.
00:30:38Yeah,
00:30:39working under that idiot
00:30:40would definitely lead us to trouble.
00:30:41How about we all resign together?
00:30:42I want to work with Edward.
00:30:43Yeah, let's all quit together.
00:30:44Let's all quit together.
00:30:46Guys, calm down.
00:30:47No rush into anything.
00:30:48Edward and Lauren are still married.
00:30:50It's not set in stone.
00:30:51Just wait and see for now.
00:30:52If Edward has any plans coming out,
00:30:53I'm sure he'll reach out to us.
00:30:54All right?
00:30:56Sorry, Nathan,
00:30:57for putting you through this.
00:30:59Lauren,
00:31:00I'm the one who should apologize.
00:31:01I caused such huge losses.
00:31:03And,
00:31:03Lauren, from now on-
00:31:04No,
00:31:05it's not your fault.
00:31:06It's all on Edward.
00:31:07He insisted on quitting,
00:31:08which left the company without any orders.
00:31:10I honestly have no idea what to do now.
00:31:11Don't worry, Lauren.
00:31:12I've got a plan.
00:31:14Really?
00:31:14Of course.
00:31:15I'm a PhD, remember?
00:31:17Something like this isn't going to stump me.
00:31:18Besides,
00:31:19those 56 CEOs
00:31:20looked pretty intimidating.
00:31:22But honestly,
00:31:22most of them are local guys.
00:31:24So,
00:31:24why don't we just give up on this market
00:31:25and focus on expanding out of state?
00:31:27That market's way bigger than Rivermore's.
00:31:29Will that really work?
00:31:31Edward tried to break into other states before,
00:31:33but he never pulled it off.
00:31:34It doesn't mean I can't.
00:31:35Lauren,
00:31:36with my expertise,
00:31:37I can totally handle this.
00:31:39Yeah.
00:31:40And,
00:31:40I've still got an ace on my sleeve.
00:31:42The Morgans and Northbridge
00:31:43are coming here
00:31:44in a few days
00:31:45to pick a new investment partner.
00:31:46Once we land that investment,
00:31:47we'll be unstoppable.
00:31:48Nice.
00:31:49I'll go back and keep Edward calm.
00:31:51I'll leave the company to you.
00:31:52Okay.
00:31:53Lauren,
00:31:54you're so good to me.
00:31:57Hey,
00:31:58I'm swamped.
00:31:59I'll head out first.
00:32:00Hello?
00:32:05Hey,
00:32:06old friend.
00:32:07Long time to see.
00:32:08Who's this?
00:32:10Claire Morgan?
00:32:11You managed to perform
00:32:11college entrance exams
00:32:12and only later did I find out
00:32:14you're from the Reaches family,
00:32:15the Morgan family.
00:32:15So,
00:32:16billionaire heiress,
00:32:17what brings you to call me suddenly?
00:32:18Obviously,
00:32:19I heard you're getting divorced,
00:32:20so I reached out.
00:32:27I'm heading out for a hotpot
00:32:28with the guys at lunch.
00:32:29Do me a favor.
00:32:30Finish this for me.
00:32:30No way,
00:32:31I-
00:32:31Cut the crap.
00:32:32If I see any leftovers in it,
00:32:33when I get back,
00:32:34from now on,
00:32:35I'm taking all your bratroses.
00:32:44Heard you quit your job.
00:32:45Wanna come work with me?
00:32:46My dad handed me a company to run.
00:32:48Problem is,
00:32:48I have no clue how to manage it.
00:32:50The company of the Reaches family,
00:32:51huh?
00:32:52Guess I'll have to think about it.
00:32:54See you tomorrow.
00:32:55I'll text you the address.
00:32:56Alright.
00:32:57See you.
00:32:58Babe,
00:32:58who are you meeting?
00:33:00No one special.
00:33:01Just a no classmate.
00:33:02I packed up your favorite food for you.
00:33:03Come try it.
00:33:04See if you like it.
00:33:08No thanks.
00:33:09I'm not interested in eating
00:33:10his leftovers.
00:33:11Babe,
00:33:11what do you mean?
00:33:13Seriously?
00:33:15Go check Nathan's social feed.
00:33:22Lani,
00:33:22let me explain.
00:33:23I just saw Nathan having a rough day,
00:33:25so I took him out for dinner
00:33:26to comfort him a bit.
00:33:27Isn't it all about
00:33:28keeping top talent in the company?
00:33:30So during the day,
00:33:31the one you thought was wrong
00:33:32was Nathan Reed?
00:33:32Honey,
00:33:33don't be jealous over nothing.
00:33:34There's really nothing going on between us.
00:33:37Hey,
00:33:38are you heading out?
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:39These past eight years with you,
00:33:42I've never had a full weekend to myself.
00:33:44Every day was just constant tension,
00:33:45meeting steel was always on.
00:33:46Now that I finally quit,
00:33:48of course I want to relax a little.
00:33:52Getting out to unwind is always good,
00:33:54honey.
00:33:55Time really flies.
00:33:57In the blank of an eye,
00:33:58we've been married eight years.
00:34:02Lauren Carter,
00:34:03just say it straight.
00:34:04Honey,
00:34:05since when do we stop being able
00:34:07to say sweet things to each other?
00:34:09Maybe you should
00:34:11ask yourself that.
00:34:12Honey,
00:34:12I really know I messed up.
00:34:14I was just thinking about the company.
00:34:15Nathan's a Stanford PhD,
00:34:17a rare talent.
00:34:18I just wanted to keep him on the team.
00:34:20All right,
00:34:20honey,
00:34:21don't be mad,
00:34:22okay?
00:34:22If you'd said this before,
00:34:24I definitely would have been upset.
00:34:25But now,
00:34:26I'm not angry anymore.
00:34:27When there's no love left,
00:34:29what's left to be mad about?
00:34:30Really?
00:34:31Then post online right now.
00:34:32Tell everyone,
00:34:33you're not quitting.
00:34:33As long as you help me
00:34:34save the company this time,
00:34:36I'll have a baby with you.
00:34:37Didn't you always say
00:34:39you wanted a kid?
00:34:41Lauren Carter,
00:34:42if you said that a year ago,
00:34:43I would have been really happy
00:34:44and forgiven you.
00:34:46But now,
00:34:47things are different.
00:34:48Nathan,
00:34:49give me a second.
00:34:49I'll be right there.
00:34:52Lauren,
00:34:53my mom's test results just came in.
00:34:54It's stomach cancer.
00:34:54Yeah, I heard, I heard.
00:34:56Lauren,
00:34:57my mom's biggest wish
00:34:58is to hold a grandchild.
00:34:59Can you-
00:34:59Ed, are you done yet?
00:35:00My company's just starting to take off.
00:35:02If your mom wants a child,
00:35:03go find someone else.
00:35:04Why are you coming to me?
00:35:06Lauren,
00:35:06you are my wife.
00:35:08Who else am I supposed to ask?
00:35:08Ask whoever you want,
00:35:09leave me alone.
00:35:11How is it different now?
00:35:12Because the elderly woman
00:35:13who wanted a grandchild
00:35:15is already gone.
00:35:17Lauren Carter,
00:35:18not everything can be turned
00:35:19into a transaction.
00:35:21What's that supposed to mean?
00:35:22Doesn't mean anything.
00:35:23Lauren Carter,
00:35:24let's get a divorce.
00:35:27What?
00:35:28You want to divorce me?
00:35:30That's right.
00:35:31Divorce.
00:35:32I don't agree.
00:35:32Why do you want to divorce me?
00:35:33You've already signed
00:35:40the divorce papers.
00:35:41Whether you agree or not,
00:35:43after a one month's
00:35:43cooling off period,
00:35:44we'll be officially divorced.
00:35:45I don't believe it.
00:35:46When did I ever
00:35:47sign divorce papers?
00:35:50Now you remember, right?
00:35:51Back then,
00:35:52you were busy
00:35:52comforting your Nathan.
00:35:54You didn't care
00:35:54about anything else.
00:35:55Oh, Edward,
00:35:56please listen to me.
00:35:57There's really
00:35:58nothing between us.
00:35:59I did everything
00:35:59for the company,
00:36:00nothing else, I swear.
00:36:01That's your company.
00:36:03Nothing to do with me.
00:36:04You can't say that.
00:36:05We're married.
00:36:05What's mine is yours,
00:36:06isn't it?
00:36:07Lauren Carter,
00:36:07you make it sound so nice.
00:36:09Do you remember
00:36:09when we started our business?
00:36:11What did you say to me?
00:36:12Honey,
00:36:13when the company grows,
00:36:14I'll give you half the shares.
00:36:16Lauren,
00:36:17even if you give me nothing,
00:36:18I'd still help you
00:36:19chase your dreams.
00:36:20It's not that I didn't
00:36:21want to give you,
00:36:21it's bad timing.
00:36:22How about this,
00:36:23I'll give you 5%
00:36:24of the shares, okay?
00:36:25No need.
00:36:31Move.
00:36:31No, I won't.
00:36:32I'm moving out tonight.
00:36:33Edward,
00:36:34are you asking for a divorce
00:36:35because of Nathan?
00:36:36I already explained it to you.
00:36:37He and I are just colleagues,
00:36:38nothing more.
00:36:39I've never done anything
00:36:40to betray you.
00:36:42Really?
00:36:47Then how do you explain
00:36:48these photos of you
00:36:48secretly dating overseas?
00:36:54Lauren Carter,
00:36:55you kept telling me
00:36:56you went abroad
00:36:56for business trips.
00:36:57Looking back now,
00:36:58those were never for business.
00:37:00Just dates with him
00:37:00all alone.
00:37:02Whenever I suggested
00:37:02we take a trip out
00:37:03to the suburbs,
00:37:04you always said
00:37:04it's a waste.
00:37:05But with Nathan Reed,
00:37:06it was always Maldives
00:37:07or Iceland.
00:37:08You know exactly
00:37:08how to be romantic.
00:37:09You just don't want
00:37:10to be romantic with me.
00:37:11Honey,
00:37:11let me explain.
00:37:12I've never been
00:37:13to any of those places
00:37:14with him.
00:37:14He must have
00:37:14photoshopped them.
00:37:15Don't worry,
00:37:16I'll have a serious
00:37:17talk with him.
00:37:18A serious talk?
00:37:19He's stirring up
00:37:19trouble in our marriage.
00:37:20And all you give
00:37:21is a talk?
00:37:23Maybe he just
00:37:23loves me too much,
00:37:24that's why he's
00:37:24acting like this.
00:37:25Trust me,
00:37:25he won't do anything
00:37:26like that again.
00:37:26You mean you
00:37:27won't date anymore?
00:37:28Or he won't
00:37:29send me any more photos?
00:37:30Of course no dates!
00:37:32Honey,
00:37:33there's absolutely
00:37:34nothing between us,
00:37:34you have to believe me.
00:37:35Don't be mad, okay?
00:37:37Don't try that with me.
00:37:41If you say
00:37:42all those photos
00:37:42are fake,
00:37:43then what about this?
00:37:44How do you explain this?
00:37:45What's this?
00:37:46My payroll card
00:37:47and my bank statement.
00:37:48Over the years,
00:37:49with my salary
00:37:50and commissions combined,
00:37:51it's got to be
00:37:51over a million.
00:37:52The card's always
00:37:53been in your hand.
00:37:53So why is there
00:37:54only $6.59?
00:37:55Because you spent
00:37:56all damn money
00:37:57supporting Nathan Reed.
00:37:58All those luxury goods
00:37:59at couples hotels,
00:38:01romantic restaurants,
00:38:02you two really
00:38:02went all out!
00:38:03No, honey,
00:38:04you've got it all wrong.
00:38:05I spent the money
00:38:06entertaining clients.
00:38:07It had nothing
00:38:07to do with Nathan at all!
00:38:09Oh yeah?
00:38:10Which client?
00:38:10Tell me,
00:38:11I'll go ask them myself.
00:38:13Which client is it?
00:38:15It's the...
00:38:15What?
00:38:16Can't say it out loud?
00:38:18All the major clients
00:38:19I brought them in.
00:38:20Still want to lie to me?
00:38:21Babe,
00:38:22you just made
00:38:23a stupid mistake.
00:38:24But it was just
00:38:24dinner with him!
00:38:25I didn't do anything else,
00:38:26I swear!
00:38:27Babe,
00:38:27I never betrayed our mayor,
00:38:28not once!
00:38:29You didn't betray me?
00:38:30You think I'm an idiot?
00:38:31Oh,
00:38:31those nice
00:38:32at couples hotels.
00:38:33Were you just sightseeing?
00:38:35Is there really
00:38:35no way to fix this?
00:38:38What if I refuse?
00:38:39Then I'll see you
00:38:40in court.
00:38:41I've already hired
00:38:42a lawyer.
00:38:43Oh,
00:38:43the money you spent
00:38:43on Nathan Reed.
00:38:45I want every cent back.
00:38:46You both better get ready.
00:38:48Otherwise,
00:38:48just wait for the lawsuit.
00:38:49Edward!
00:38:53I made a mistake,
00:38:54a mistake every woman
00:38:55might make!
00:38:56Do you really have
00:38:56to divorce me over this?
00:38:58Edward!
00:38:59If you walk out
00:39:00that door today,
00:39:01don't ever come back!
00:39:02You'll regret this!
00:39:03The only thing I regret
00:39:04is not seeing
00:39:05your true intention soon.
00:39:07Edward Quinn!
00:39:08Don't get ahead of yourself!
00:39:09You really think
00:39:10the company can't run
00:39:11without you?
00:39:12Nathan's already
00:39:12found a solution!
00:39:13You'll never measure up to him
00:39:15in this lifetime!
00:39:25Miss Morgan,
00:39:25Mr. Quinn is here.
00:39:27Edward,
00:39:28long time no see.
00:39:29Long time no see.
00:39:30So,
00:39:31what are you?
00:39:31Well,
00:39:32I got kicked out.
00:39:33So I came
00:39:34to see if you would
00:39:35take me in.
00:39:35Well then,
00:39:36I guess I'll just have
00:39:37to grudgingly take you in.
00:39:38Mary,
00:39:38take Mr. Quinn's things
00:39:39back to my place first.
00:39:40Yes,
00:39:41Miss Morgan.
00:39:42I've never seen her
00:39:43this happy before.
00:39:44Who exactly
00:39:44is this Mr. Quinn?
00:39:46Edward,
00:39:47I'm really happy
00:39:48you're here.
00:39:48You have no idea.
00:39:49My dad handed me
00:39:50a company
00:39:51but I have no clue
00:39:51how to run it
00:39:52or how to bring in clients.
00:39:53But now,
00:39:54with you here,
00:39:54you can help me out.
00:39:55If you ask,
00:39:56how could I say no?
00:39:57That's awesome.
00:39:58From now on,
00:39:59you're my company's
00:40:00general manager.
00:40:01No, no, no.
00:40:02I'm just a regular salesperson.
00:40:03I can't take on that role.
00:40:04Besides,
00:40:04I'm new here.
00:40:05Jumping straight to the top
00:40:06would be hard
00:40:06for people to accept.
00:40:08Well then,
00:40:09how about
00:40:09be the sales director?
00:40:11Annual salary,
00:40:11200K,
00:40:12plus a 15% commission.
00:40:13Sounds good.
00:40:14Honey,
00:40:15you're just a regular employee
00:40:16so your salary
00:40:17can't be too high.
00:40:18How about
00:40:18a base salary
00:40:19of $8,000
00:40:20plus a 5% sales commission?
00:40:22Isn't that
00:40:22a bit much?
00:40:24Not really.
00:40:25That's the going break
00:40:25for directors these days.
00:40:27Besides,
00:40:27I know
00:40:28your skills are way better
00:40:29than most people out there.
00:40:30So this is what it feels like
00:40:31to have my words recognized.
00:40:33I accept.
00:40:34Really?
00:40:34That's fantastic.
00:40:38Really?
00:40:39That's fantastic.
00:40:44Alright then,
00:40:45let me show you
00:40:46your place first.
00:40:46Come on.
00:40:47Hey, no rush.
00:40:47Take me to the sales department first.
00:40:49I've heard you're
00:40:49a total workaholic.
00:40:50Your reputation
00:40:51really precedes you.
00:40:52Didn't expect
00:40:52Miss Morgan herself
00:40:53to take notice
00:40:54of a regular sales guy.
00:40:55Uh, yeah.
00:40:57Alright then,
00:40:57I'll take you
00:40:58to the company first.
00:40:59Let's go.
00:41:00Come on,
00:41:01let's get moving.
00:41:02This is the sales department.
00:41:08These are your employees?
00:41:10Honestly,
00:41:10my hands are tied.
00:41:11On my first day as manager,
00:41:12the previous sales director
00:41:13demanded a raise
00:41:14for the whole team.
00:41:15I said no,
00:41:15so he quit.
00:41:16And the rest of them
00:41:17don't take me seriously at all.
00:41:19You know,
00:41:20you just don't have
00:41:20the experience
00:41:21and you're too soft.
00:41:22That's why
00:41:22they walk all over you.
00:41:23With them,
00:41:23you can't be too gentle.
00:41:24But,
00:41:25if they all quit together,
00:41:26we will have no clients.
00:41:27That'd be a disaster.
00:41:28Leave the clients
00:41:29to me.
00:41:30What'd you learn?
00:41:33Wait, what?
00:41:34Why's the Wi-Fi down?
00:41:34Who unplugged
00:41:35the network cable?
00:41:36I did.
00:41:37Who the hell are you
00:41:37to pull my cable?
00:41:38I'm the new sales director.
00:41:41Everyone,
00:41:41put your phones down
00:41:42and get in front of me
00:41:43in five seconds.
00:41:43Otherwise,
00:41:44you're all fired.
00:41:46Who the hell are you
00:41:47to fire us all?
00:41:48Three.
00:41:49Miss Morgan,
00:41:49is this what you want too?
00:41:51Two.
00:41:52Miss Morgan,
00:41:52if you dare fire us,
00:41:53I can guarantee
00:41:54you'll never land
00:41:54another client.
00:41:55One.
00:41:56Perfect.
00:41:57You're all fired.
00:41:58Miss Morgan,
00:41:59call HR over here
00:42:00and process their termination.
00:42:01Edward,
00:42:02don't you think
00:42:03this is a bit much?
00:42:04Miss Morgan,
00:42:04is this the director
00:42:05you board in?
00:42:06Looks like he's nothing
00:42:07but a reckless rookie.
00:42:08Exactly, Miss Morgan.
00:42:09Don't say we didn't warn ya,
00:42:10but this kid running
00:42:10thinks the company
00:42:11will be out of business
00:42:12within a month.
00:42:13Relax.
00:42:13I know what I'm doing.
00:42:15You're all fired now.
00:42:16Whether the company
00:42:17goes under
00:42:17is no longer
00:42:18your concern.
00:42:22Miss Morgan,
00:42:22when you kicked me
00:42:23out of the company,
00:42:24you thought you'd bring
00:42:25in some kind of superstar.
00:42:26Didn't expect you
00:42:27you should just
00:42:27hire some rookie.
00:42:29Who's he?
00:42:29The former director.
00:42:31Every salesperson here
00:42:32used to work for him.
00:42:33Miss Morgan,
00:42:34don't say I didn't warn you.
00:42:35The Morgan family
00:42:36might be the richest
00:42:37in Northbridge,
00:42:38but you're not
00:42:38the only heir.
00:42:40If,
00:42:41by the end of the month,
00:42:42you can't hit
00:42:42at least 100 million
00:42:44in sales,
00:42:45your half-brother
00:42:45won't let you
00:42:46off the hook.
00:42:47What does he mean by that?
00:42:49Three months ago,
00:42:50my dad gave me
00:42:51and my brother
00:42:51each our own company.
00:42:52He said
00:42:53whoever had better numbers
00:42:54in three months
00:42:55would become
00:42:55the primary heir.
00:42:56It's already been
00:42:57two months.
00:42:58His numbers are
00:42:58almost 100 million
00:42:59higher than mine.
00:43:00Why did you tell me sooner?
00:43:01I just don't want
00:43:02to put too much
00:43:03pressure on you.
00:43:04Don't worry.
00:43:05I've got this.
00:43:06You don't need to stress
00:43:07about this company's
00:43:08performance anymore.
00:43:10100 million in sales?
00:43:11That's not so hard.
00:43:14Did you hear
00:43:14what this rookie
00:43:15just said?
00:43:15100 million?
00:43:16No problem?
00:43:17Back when we had
00:43:18over a dozen people,
00:43:19we barely hit
00:43:1930 million a month.
00:43:20Where does he
00:43:21get that confidence?
00:43:22If you ask me,
00:43:22he's just a fraud.
00:43:23Don't let him fool you.
00:43:25Your limits
00:43:26aren't mine to share.
00:43:27You might be useless,
00:43:28but I'm not.
00:43:29Man, you sure talk big.
00:43:31In Northbridge,
00:43:32aside from that guy,
00:43:33the one who has been
00:43:33called the sales god,
00:43:34not a single person
00:43:35could single-handedly
00:43:36bring in 100 million
00:43:37in a month.
00:43:39The sales god?
00:43:40Who's that?
00:43:41You don't even know
00:43:41the sales god?
00:43:42Wow, you really are
00:43:43out of the loop.
00:43:44You took a startup
00:43:45and turned it
00:43:46into an industry leader
00:43:47in just eight years.
00:43:48That's right.
00:43:48And he's even the mentor
00:43:49of Director Bennett.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:52Five years ago,
00:43:53I attended one
00:43:53of his lectures.
00:43:54From that moment on,
00:43:55it was like a light bulb
00:43:56went off in my head.
00:43:57Ever since then,
00:43:58my sales career
00:43:59has been smooth sailing.
00:44:00Eight years,
00:44:01from a startup
00:44:02to the industry leader.
00:44:03Are they talking about me?
00:44:05Director Bennett,
00:44:05are you the one
00:44:06who called him
00:44:07the sales god?
00:44:08What are you implying?
00:44:09Got a problem?
00:44:10No, I never said
00:44:11I didn't agree.
00:44:12But have you ever considered?
00:44:13Maybe I am the sales god
00:44:14you keep talking about.
00:44:16Oh, come on.
00:44:17Quit bragging.
00:44:17If you're the god,
00:44:18I'll leave this table
00:44:19right now.
00:44:20If you are the god,
00:44:21I'll leave every desk
00:44:22in this office.
00:44:22We'll remember what you said.
00:44:24Don't try to
00:44:24back out later.
00:44:26Miss Morgan,
00:44:27do you believe in me?
00:44:28Since I brought you in,
00:44:29I'm going to trust you
00:44:29completely.
00:44:31Edward,
00:44:31Nathan worked hard
00:44:32to land this deal.
00:44:33Why are you trying
00:44:34to mess it up?
00:44:34Lauren,
00:44:35trust me,
00:44:36this client is a scam artist.
00:44:37I don't want the company
00:44:38to take a loss.
00:44:39Why do you think
00:44:39everyone's a scammer?
00:44:40I think you're just jealous.
00:44:41He's a new hire
00:44:42but already closed the deal.
00:44:42They asked you to mentor him
00:44:43not to put him down.
00:44:45So this is how
00:44:46being trusted feels.
00:44:47Since you believe in me,
00:44:48I won't let you down.
00:44:51Right here, right now.
00:44:52I promise.
00:44:53I'll hit 200 million
00:44:54in sales within a month.
00:44:56If I don't,
00:44:57I'll resign on my own.
00:44:59Edward,
00:45:00no need to swear on it.
00:45:01Whether you pull it off or not,
00:45:02I will have your back.
00:45:03Don't worry.
00:45:04If I say I'll do something,
00:45:05you can count on it.
00:45:07Oh, stop bragging.
00:45:09200 million in a month.
00:45:10Do you realize what that means?
00:45:12Miss Morgan,
00:45:12I'm giving you one last chance.
00:45:14Invite me back with some respect.
00:45:16Double the salary for me
00:45:17and my brothers.
00:45:18Then I'll get back to work for you
00:45:20and help you
00:45:21secure the Morgan Group.
00:45:23Inheritance!
00:45:24Just keep dreaming.
00:45:25Miss Morgan,
00:45:26don't let your pride get in the way.
00:45:31Do you really believe
00:45:32this kid can single-handedly
00:45:33bring in 200 million
00:45:35in sales for you?
00:45:36One person pulling off
00:45:38200 million in a month
00:45:39is honestly a stretch.
00:45:41See?
00:45:41Even he's backing down.
00:45:43Miss Morgan,
00:45:43you should just take
00:45:44Mr. Bennett's offer.
00:45:45Edward,
00:45:46if you can't handle it,
00:45:47it's really okay.
00:45:49Relax.
00:45:51I'm just saying it's tough
00:45:52for one person,
00:45:53but I never said
00:45:54I'd be doing it alone.
00:45:55What?
00:45:56You're planning to bring in
00:45:57a whole team?
00:45:58Miss Morgan,
00:45:59I'll need a budget
00:45:59to buy back
00:46:00my entire old team.
00:46:01They are
00:46:02way better than this bunch.
00:46:03Fine.
00:46:04Heavy your way.
00:46:06Security!
00:46:07These people
00:46:08are already fired.
00:46:09Get them
00:46:10all out of here.
00:46:13You lousy guard.
00:46:14I'll remember this.
00:46:15Wait till I come back.
00:46:16First thing I'll do
00:46:16is get you fired.
00:46:17Sure.
00:46:17We'll see that
00:46:18if you return, idiot.
00:46:19Nick,
00:46:20calm down.
00:46:20Don't stoop to the
00:46:21guards' level.
00:46:21Jeez.
00:46:22Nick,
00:46:22what do we do now?
00:46:23I still have a mortgage to pay.
00:46:25Yeah,
00:46:25my kid's still in school.
00:46:26No income now.
00:46:27What am I supposed to do?
00:46:28All right.
00:46:28Everyone quiet down.
00:46:29Don't worry, guys.
00:46:31I've still got
00:46:31Lucas' backing me up.
00:46:32Lucas Morgan?
00:46:33Isn't that Claire Morgan,
00:46:34our boss's brother?
00:46:35Are you sabotaging
00:46:36Claire's business
00:46:36just to help Lucas win?
00:46:37That's right.
00:46:38Once Lucas
00:46:39takes over Morgan's group,
00:46:41even the scraps
00:46:42from his fingers
00:46:43will be enough
00:46:44for us to live large.
00:46:45From now on,
00:46:46the sales department
00:46:47will follow new rules.
00:46:48Everyone has to
00:46:49clock in every day.
00:46:50If you're on a business trip,
00:46:51you have to upload a photo
00:46:52every half hour.
00:46:53Miss just one,
00:46:54and you'll lose
00:46:54half a day's pay.
00:46:56Nathan,
00:46:57you're making things
00:46:58hard for us.
00:46:58A photo every 30 minutes?
00:46:59Who has time for that
00:47:00when swamped?
00:47:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:02This is just you
00:47:02picking on us.
00:47:03Everyone shut up.
00:47:04Look at you all.
00:47:04Spoiled by Edward.
00:47:05Everyone's slacking off.
00:47:06It's so disgraceful.
00:47:07Since Lauren put me
00:47:08in charge as sales director,
00:47:09I'm going to run
00:47:10a tight ship.
00:47:11One more thing.
00:47:11We're outside.
00:47:12Call me Mr. Reed.
00:47:15Earlier,
00:47:15you called me by my first name.
00:47:17That cost you
00:47:17half a month's pay.
00:47:19Nathan,
00:47:19don't push it too far.
00:47:21It's the second time.
00:47:22I'm docking you
00:47:22a month's pay.
00:47:25I quit.
00:47:26Leonard,
00:47:26let's talk this through.
00:47:27Why act on impulse?
00:47:28Hook my ass.
00:47:29He's at the bottom
00:47:29of the sales board,
00:47:30a pretty boy climber
00:47:31with connections.
00:47:32Where does he get
00:47:32that arrogance?
00:47:33Shut up!
00:47:34Security!
00:47:35Get him out of here!
00:47:36Don't bother.
00:47:36I'll leave myself.
00:47:38Leonard, Leonard!
00:47:39Miss Carter,
00:47:40Leonard's been with us
00:47:40for years,
00:47:41working hard and dedicated.
00:47:42At the very least,
00:47:43he's put in a grind.
00:47:44Nathan Reed
00:47:44was appointed
00:47:45as sales director by me.
00:47:47If you disrespect him,
00:47:48you're disrespecting me.
00:47:49Got kicked out.
00:47:50He brought it on himself.
00:47:51You...
00:47:51Now,
00:47:53does anyone else
00:47:54have a problem?
00:47:55Good.
00:47:56Next,
00:47:56here's the second new rule.
00:47:58All sales departments
00:47:59need to go expand
00:48:00into other regions.
00:48:02Also,
00:48:02travel reimbursements
00:48:03are cut in half.
00:48:04If you miss your targets
00:48:05this month,
00:48:05your base salary
00:48:06gets cut in half.
00:48:06Miss your targets
00:48:07two months in a row,
00:48:08you're fired on the spot.
00:48:14What are you doing?
00:48:16Just compiling
00:48:17our current client data,
00:48:18planning follow-up
00:48:19sales strategies.
00:48:20All right,
00:48:21take a break.
00:48:21Let's go grab some food.
00:48:22By the way,
00:48:27you're coming with me
00:48:27to an industry networking event.
00:48:29No problem.
00:48:37Welcome.
00:48:40What's going on?
00:48:42Leonard,
00:48:42what are you doing here?
00:48:44Edward,
00:48:45who's this?
00:48:46Oh,
00:48:46this is my new boss,
00:48:47Miss Morgan.
00:48:48Nice to meet you.
00:48:49Leonard,
00:48:49how did you end up
00:48:50working security here?
00:48:50Edward,
00:48:51Ever since you left,
00:48:52Nathan's been acting out.
00:48:53Just because he's the director,
00:48:54he's not just cut
00:48:55the travel budget,
00:48:56but also requires travelers
00:48:56to send a work photo
00:48:57every half an hour.
00:48:58If you don't,
00:48:59they dock your pay.
00:49:00I couldn't take it anymore,
00:49:01so I argued with him.
00:49:02And then,
00:49:02I got fired.
00:49:03That's just ridiculous.
00:49:04Didn't Lauren do anything?
00:49:05She's completely
00:49:06lost her mind over him.
00:49:07She didn't care.
00:49:08They didn't even help him.
00:49:08If you ask me,
00:49:09that company's finished.
00:49:11Forget it.
00:49:12Whatever he wants.
00:49:12If he wants to mess up,
00:49:13it's his own problem.
00:49:14I'm short-handed now.
00:49:15Come work for me.
00:49:16I'll double your salary.
00:49:17Are you sure?
00:49:18If Edward says it,
00:49:21that's amazing,
00:49:21but what about Kurt and the others?
00:49:23Don't worry.
00:49:24Miss Morgan here
00:49:24has got real influence.
00:49:26We'll bring all the guys over
00:49:26and let Nathan Reed
00:49:27run his team solo.
00:49:29Ha!
00:49:29Oh, thank you, Ed.
00:49:30Thank you, Miss Morgan.
00:49:31No need to be so formal.
00:49:32Come on.
00:49:33Let's head to the networking event.
00:49:47What's up with this hotel?
00:49:48How come just anyone can walk in?
00:49:49Did a security guard sneak in here?
00:49:52You don't know?
00:49:52This is a networking event
00:49:53hosted by the Reed family.
00:49:54The Reeds represent the Morgans
00:49:56here in Rivermore.
00:49:58No one can match their influence.
00:49:59Unbelievable.
00:50:00Someone is causing trouble here.
00:50:02Wait till Mr. Victor Reed shows up.
00:50:04They're in for it.
00:50:05You hear that?
00:50:06Get out of here while you can.
00:50:07Who said he's a security guard?
00:50:09He's wearing the uniform.
00:50:10What else would he be?
00:50:11Don't tell me.
00:50:12You're trying to protect him.
00:50:13Edward,
00:50:14why'd you bring him here?
00:50:15Before Victor Reed arrives,
00:50:16kick him out.
00:50:17There's still time.
00:50:17Lauren Carter,
00:50:19I didn't expect you to be disco.
00:50:21Leonard has worked hard for years.
00:50:22You just fire him like that?
00:50:23He refused to follow Nathan's management
00:50:24and argue with people in public.
00:50:26Firing him,
00:50:27how is that not justified?
00:50:28So he deserves it, huh?
00:50:30If you ask me,
00:50:31with people like that in our company,
00:50:32no wonder it's going under.
00:50:34Leonard works for me now.
00:50:36He's not a guard.
00:50:37He's an industry professional.
00:50:38Now,
00:50:39does he have the right
00:50:39to attend this event?
00:50:40If he's really in the business,
00:50:43then he's definitely qualified.
00:50:45From what I've heard,
00:50:47you already left Lauren's company.
00:50:48You're basically unemployed now.
00:50:50What employees?
00:50:51That's right.
00:50:52Edward,
00:50:53you're just jobless at this point.
00:50:54What are you doing here?
00:50:55Hurry up and leave.
00:50:56Otherwise,
00:50:56when Victor gets here,
00:50:57you're screwed.
00:50:57He has zero tolerance for nonsense.
00:50:59Lauren Carter,
00:51:00don't tell me
00:51:00I can't find another job
00:51:02after leaving you.
00:51:04It's tough out there right now.
00:51:06And with your education,
00:51:07of course it's not easy for you.
00:51:08Exactly.
00:51:09Even if you did land something in a rush,
00:51:10it'd just be an entry-level sales job.
00:51:12You employees?
00:51:13Next time you lie,
00:51:13try rehearsing it first.
00:51:15Who said Edward can't get a job?
00:51:16You guys are just blind to his talent,
00:51:18but I can see it.
00:51:19And who are you?
00:51:20I'm the CEO of Shine Sun Corporation.
00:51:23Edward is currently
00:51:24the sales director I hired.
00:51:27Edward,
00:51:28so that's why you were
00:51:29in such a rush to divorce me.
00:51:31Turns out you just wanted
00:51:31to be with her.
00:51:32Lauren Carter,
00:51:33you know exactly why
00:51:34we're getting divorced.
00:51:35It has nothing to do with Claire.
00:51:36Oh, nothing.
00:51:38She's practically glued to your side.
00:51:41Lauren,
00:51:42for all we know,
00:51:42they've been hooking up for a while.
00:51:43He's probably cheated more times
00:51:45than I can count.
00:51:46Wow, Edward.
00:51:47I even felt guilty before
00:51:48in trying to make it up to you.
00:51:49Turns out you were cheating all along.
00:51:51How could you do this to me?
00:51:52That's not true.
00:51:52I only reached out to Edward
00:51:53after learning about your divorce.
00:51:55We hadn't spoken before then at all.
00:51:56Edward never cheated on you.
00:51:57What business do you have
00:51:58talking to us right now?
00:51:59Why are you putting in?
00:52:00I...
00:52:00What?
00:52:01Let me make this clear.
00:52:02Edward and I aren't divorced yet.
00:52:04If you try to get between us,
00:52:05you're just a homewrecker.
00:52:06A homewrecker showing up
00:52:07at Victor's party.
00:52:08Don't you have any shame?
00:52:10I heard Victor is super devoted
00:52:11in love with the same woman
00:52:12for over a decade.
00:52:13Yeah,
00:52:13and he especially hates
00:52:15those homewreckers.
00:52:15Looks like those two
00:52:16are in for it now.
00:52:17Don't listen to him.
00:52:18I'm not a homewrecker
00:52:19and Edward never cheated.
00:52:20Then why did you bring
00:52:21my husband here
00:52:22acting so close?
00:52:23You're not cheating?
00:52:24Enough.
00:52:29Hey, little girl.
00:52:30Aren't you scared
00:52:30going home alone?
00:52:31Want me to walk you home?
00:52:32I'm not scared.
00:52:33I don't need you guys.
00:52:35When a woman says no,
00:52:36she really means yes.
00:52:37Hey, man,
00:52:38why don't you walk her home already?
00:52:44Lauren Carter,
00:52:45say whatever you want about me,
00:52:47but don't drag Claire into this.
00:52:48Who's dragging her?
00:52:49He brought her here
00:52:50in front of everyone.
00:52:51If Victor sees this,
00:52:52he'd definitely be pissed off.
00:52:53I heard at today's conference,
00:52:55he'll represent the Morgans
00:52:56to pick a new investor.
00:52:58That's huge news
00:52:59for every single one of us.
00:53:00Yeah,
00:53:01but the two of them are here.
00:53:02If they upset Victor
00:53:03and it comes back on us,
00:53:05we're screwed.
00:53:06Exactly.
00:53:07So,
00:53:08before he shows up,
00:53:10get those two out of here.
00:53:13Nathan,
00:53:14Lauren Carter,
00:53:15you really know
00:53:16how to play the victim.
00:53:17The way you double standard everything
00:53:18is honestly unbeatable.
00:53:19Everyone.
00:53:20Our relationships
00:53:21are completely about board.
00:53:22There's nothing improper at all.
00:53:24If you're talking about anyone here
00:53:25cheating or being
00:53:26the other woman,
00:53:28it's actually them.
00:53:29I've got the proof right here
00:53:31on my phone.
00:53:32Let me take a look.
00:53:34It really is them.
00:53:35I can't believe it's them.
00:53:36Cheating and being a side piece.
00:53:37Edward,
00:53:38why are you showing
00:53:39our private stuff to everyone?
00:53:40So what?
00:53:41You and Nathan
00:53:42can throw accusations
00:53:43about me and Claire
00:53:43with no proof,
00:53:44but when I have evidence,
00:53:45I can't expose
00:53:46your affair with him.
00:53:47How many times
00:53:47do I have to explain?
00:53:48There's nothing between us.
00:53:49Why do you keep
00:53:50bringing up old grudges?
00:53:51I never wanted
00:53:51to put these photos out there,
00:53:53but you started
00:53:53slendering us first.
00:53:54Lauren Carter,
00:53:55I'll say this.
00:53:56You reap
00:53:57what you sow.
00:53:58Everyone,
00:53:59now it's pretty clear
00:54:01who's cheating
00:54:02and who's the homewrecker.
00:54:03So,
00:54:04the ones who should be kicked out
00:54:06are them.
00:54:08Nathan,
00:54:09what do we do?
00:54:10If we can't get
00:54:10the Morgan's investment,
00:54:12we won't last much longer.
00:54:13Think of something fast.
00:54:14Don't worry.
00:54:15As long as I'm here,
00:54:16we're not getting kicked out
00:54:17because
00:54:17Victor is my brother.
00:54:20You're his younger brother?
00:54:22Why didn't you tell me before?
00:54:23Because I don't want
00:54:24to rely on my family.
00:54:25I want to take off
00:54:26and shine
00:54:26all on my own.
00:54:28Nathan,
00:54:29you're amazing.
00:54:30How did I not know
00:54:31Victor had a brother?
00:54:32What did you say?
00:54:33Uh,
00:54:33nothing.
00:54:34I can't believe
00:54:35he's Victor's younger brother.
00:54:37Hello.
00:54:38I'm the CEO of Huawei Group.
00:54:40I look forward
00:54:40to working with you.
00:54:41No problem.
00:54:42My brother will be here
00:54:43any minute.
00:54:44What are you waiting for?
00:54:45Get these two out of here!
00:54:46Did you two
00:54:47not hear that?
00:54:49Get lost!
00:54:50Do you really believe
00:54:50he's Victor's younger brother?
00:54:52Victor will be here soon.
00:54:53Does he have a death wish?
00:54:55Pretending to be his brother?
00:54:56Stop talking.
00:54:57Get out.
00:54:58I'm calling security.
00:54:59Yeah.
00:54:59Get out of here.
00:55:00Get out of here.
00:55:01Get out!
00:55:02Get out of here.
00:55:04Let's go for now.
00:55:05A wise man knows
00:55:05when to back down.
00:55:08Claire.
00:55:09Claire.
00:55:10Look.
00:55:11Edward.
00:55:11Don't worry.
00:55:12Victor would never kick me out.
00:55:14Why?
00:55:15Still not leaving.
00:55:16Security.
00:55:17Throw these three out.
00:55:19Let go.
00:55:21Claire.
00:55:21Mr. Victor Reed is here.
00:55:29What are you all doing?
00:55:32Victor.
00:55:33You're here.
00:55:34Who are you?
00:55:35My grandpa's godfather
00:55:36is your great grandpa's assistant.
00:55:37He was given the surname Reed.
00:55:38We actually met
00:55:39at the memorial ceremony.
00:55:40Don't you remember?
00:55:41Oh.
00:55:42Got it.
00:55:42Did I explain Nathan
00:55:43to be Victor's brother?
00:55:44I knew I made the right choice.
00:55:46Nice to meet you.
00:55:47Nice to meet you.
00:55:47What's going on here?
00:55:49Those two.
00:55:50One cheated while married.
00:55:51The other is a home record.
00:55:52What a pair of scumbags.
00:55:53Kick them out now.
00:55:54If they can't be loyal
00:55:55to their own partners,
00:55:56how am I supposed
00:55:56to trust them with business?
00:55:58Throw them all out.
00:56:00Blacklist them
00:56:00across Rivermore.
00:56:01Yes, sir.
00:56:02Security.
00:56:02Get them out of here.
00:56:03Victor.
00:56:04It's Claire.
00:56:04Help me.
00:56:05Claire.
00:56:07Let go of her.
00:56:08Claire.
00:56:09It really is you.
00:56:11Claire.
00:56:11It's really you.
00:56:12I never thought you'd come.
00:56:13I'm so happy to see you.
00:56:15Edward.
00:56:16Are you okay?
00:56:17I'm fine.
00:56:19So, what's going on?
00:56:20I've known Victor
00:56:21for a long time.
00:56:22I had no idea
00:56:23he'd come here.
00:56:24Claire.
00:56:25Who is he?
00:56:27This is the Edward
00:56:27I always tell you about.
00:56:29Back when I was missing
00:56:30from my family,
00:56:30he helped me a lot.
00:56:31Claire.
00:56:32So this is the one
00:56:33who owns your heart.
00:56:34I chased after you
00:56:35for ten years
00:56:36and in the end
00:56:36I still lost.
00:56:38They say he chased
00:56:38a girl for ten years.
00:56:40Could it be Claire?
00:56:41The way he's looking at me,
00:56:43does he see me
00:56:43as a rival in love?
00:56:45Victor Reed.
00:56:46Edward Quinn.
00:56:57Guess I lost.
00:56:59You are stronger than me.
00:57:02Victor,
00:57:02why are you using
00:57:03so much force?
00:57:05Are you okay?
00:57:06I'm fine.
00:57:06I'm hurting too.
00:57:09Oh right.
00:57:10Sir,
00:57:10Nathan Reed here
00:57:11claimed he's your younger brother.
00:57:13Is that true?
00:57:14Making up fake family ties
00:57:15and throwing his weight around
00:57:16in my name
00:57:17feels good, huh?
00:57:19No, Victor, no.
00:57:20Sir,
00:57:21I'm not making anything up.
00:57:22The family tree says
00:57:23I'm really your younger brother.
00:57:24Our connection.
00:57:25We couldn't be more distant
00:57:26if you tried.
00:57:27If you dare use my name
00:57:28to throw your weight around again,
00:57:29I won't let it slide.
00:57:30Get out.
00:57:32Out!
00:57:32Nathan,
00:57:33what's going on here?
00:57:38I'm in a really bad mood today.
00:57:40Everyone get out.
00:57:41Move it.
00:57:42Hurry up.
00:57:47Victor,
00:57:48isn't today the industry meeting?
00:57:49Why did you kick everyone out?
00:57:51This whole event
00:57:51was set up just for you.
00:57:53It's you and your brother's test.
00:57:54I can't step in directly.
00:57:55I was hoping to find
00:57:56a reliable company.
00:57:57But honestly,
00:57:58these idiots have no vision at all.
00:58:00None of them is worth trusting.
00:58:01Sir,
00:58:02we appreciate
00:58:02your good intentions.
00:58:04As the new sales director
00:58:04at Claire's company,
00:58:06of course,
00:58:06I'll help her with the trial.
00:58:08You?
00:58:09Seriously?
00:58:11Do you have any idea
00:58:12how important
00:58:13this trial is for Claire?
00:58:14All right, Victor.
00:58:15You don't have to say any more.
00:58:16I trust Edward.
00:58:18You honestly
00:58:19have no idea
00:58:20what kind of spell
00:58:20this guy's cast on you.
00:58:22Have you thought about
00:58:22what if you fail?
00:58:24If we fail,
00:58:25we lose everything.
00:58:26Just go back to the way
00:58:26things were before.
00:58:27Besides,
00:58:28I trust Edward.
00:58:29He won't abandon me.
00:58:30Don't worry.
00:58:31I won't fail.
00:58:32And I'll never leave you.
00:58:34I can't with you two.
00:58:35I'm out of here.
00:58:40Edward,
00:58:41so,
00:58:42what should we do next?
00:58:43Nathan and Lauren
00:58:44have been throwing
00:58:45their weight around.
00:58:46I'm sure everyone's
00:58:47fed up with them.
00:58:48Perfect timing.
00:58:48I'm short on people right now.
00:58:50Gather everyone up.
00:58:51Let's make it happen.
00:58:52All right.
00:58:52Let's do this.
00:58:54Let's go.
00:58:57Lauren!
00:58:58Nathan!
00:58:58What the hell is going on?
00:58:59Didn't you say
00:59:00you were Victor's
00:59:00younger brother?
00:59:01He doesn't even know
00:59:02who you are.
00:59:03Lauren,
00:59:03let me explain.
00:59:04I really am his brother,
00:59:06but we're not that close.
00:59:07He just did this today
00:59:08to piss me off.
00:59:08I bet it's because of Edward.
00:59:10What does this have to do
00:59:10with Edward?
00:59:12Rumor has it
00:59:13Edward's new girlfriend
00:59:14is the one
00:59:14Victor has been chasing for.
00:59:16Edward and her
00:59:16are super close,
00:59:17so of course Victor is pissed.
00:59:18He kicked us out today,
00:59:19probably just to teach
00:59:20Edward to listen.
00:59:20Makes sense.
00:59:21No wonder Victor
00:59:23looked at that girl
00:59:24like something was off.
00:59:25Damn you,
00:59:26Edward.
00:59:26Even now you're
00:59:27screwing me over.
00:59:28You're making me
00:59:28lose all on Victor's
00:59:29investment.
00:59:30Lauren,
00:59:30don't worry.
00:59:31I've prepared
00:59:32two backup plans.
00:59:33Even if we can't
00:59:34get the investment,
00:59:34we can still save the company
00:59:36by expanding each other.
00:59:37Miss Carter,
00:59:38come in.
00:59:40Miss Carter,
00:59:41Mr. Reed,
00:59:42their entire sales team
00:59:43just resigned.
00:59:43What?
00:59:44Here's their resignation letter.
00:59:47Did this happen?
00:59:49They said...
00:59:50Tell me so I can fix this
00:59:52and get back to them.
00:59:53They said as long as
00:59:54Nathan Reed is still here,
00:59:55they're not coming back.
00:59:56What?
00:59:58What?
00:59:59These punks.
01:00:00How could this happen?
01:00:02What are we supposed
01:00:02to do now?
01:00:04Miss Carter,
01:00:04frankly speaking,
01:00:05if you keep trusting
01:00:06this idiot,
01:00:06our company is going down.
01:00:08Hey,
01:00:09watch your mouth.
01:00:10Say one more word
01:00:11and I'll fire you on the phone.
01:00:11I don't need you to fire me.
01:00:12I quit.
01:00:13Miss Carter,
01:00:14what I just said
01:00:14was my last piece of advice.
01:00:18Am I really wrong about this?
01:00:20Lauren,
01:00:21even you don't believe me now?
01:00:23Your previous employees
01:00:24were all uneducated fools.
01:00:25They can't understand
01:00:26my advanced management methods
01:00:27from a top university overseas.
01:00:28We're better off without them.
01:00:30I'll definitely help you
01:00:30set up a new sales team.
01:00:32Yeah, right.
01:00:33Nathan's a PhD.
01:00:34He must know
01:00:35what he's talking about.
01:00:37No way.
01:00:38Of course I believe you.
01:00:40Just go ahead.
01:00:41Okay.
01:00:41I booked a private room
01:00:42at the Garden Bistro.
01:00:43Let's go together.
01:00:43I have a surprise for you.
01:00:44All right?
01:00:45Come on.
01:00:46Let's all raise a glass
01:00:47to Miss Morgan.
01:00:48No need to be so formal.
01:00:50I believe,
01:00:50with Mr. Quinn leading us,
01:00:51our company is sure to thrive.
01:00:53Cheers!
01:00:54To Miss Morgan!
01:00:56Miss Morgan!
01:00:56Cheers!
01:00:57Cheers!
01:00:57Cheers!
01:00:58Just enjoy yourselves.
01:01:02Edward!
01:01:03It's really you
01:01:03who stole my employees.
01:01:04Are you seriously
01:01:05trying to ruin me?
01:01:08Miss Carter,
01:01:08that's not fair
01:01:09the way you put it.
01:01:10We were forced out
01:01:11by this idiot.
01:01:12What's that got to do
01:01:12with Edward?
01:01:13Exactly.
01:01:14He doesn't know a thing.
01:01:15It loves the boss people.
01:01:16The rules he says
01:01:16never take the staff
01:01:17into account.
01:01:18No decent person
01:01:19can work with it.
01:01:19You're talking nonsense!
01:01:21You don't get
01:01:22my advanced style
01:01:23because your education
01:01:24won't allow it.
01:01:25So dear Dr. Reed,
01:01:26how did you manage
01:01:27to run off
01:01:28all your own subordinates?
01:01:30So,
01:01:31are you planning
01:01:32to chase clients yourself?
01:01:33With him?
01:01:34He stole so many
01:01:35of our clients,
01:01:35but he's still dead last.
01:01:37Honestly,
01:01:38the guy's just useless.
01:01:39Believing he can
01:01:40bring in business
01:01:40is like believing
01:01:41the sun will rise
01:01:42in the west.
01:01:45Nathan,
01:01:45are you okay?
01:01:46You guys
01:01:46are way out of line.
01:01:48Mr. Reed,
01:01:49there you are.
01:01:50Director Bennett,
01:01:51you finally made it!
01:01:52Nathan,
01:01:53these people are...
01:01:54Director Bennett,
01:01:55the surprise
01:01:55I told you about.
01:01:58Surprise?
01:02:00What do you mean?
01:02:01Director Bennett
01:02:02is pretty famous
01:02:03in the industry.
01:02:03He's actually the protege
01:02:04of the sales god.
01:02:05He and his team,
01:02:06they're the new sales team
01:02:07I built for you.
01:02:08Sales god?
01:02:09Do you even know
01:02:10who the sales god is?
01:02:12No idea.
01:02:13Never heard
01:02:14of that title.
01:02:15Well, it's true.
01:02:16He single-handedly
01:02:17keeps a company going.
01:02:18In just eight years,
01:02:19he turned a startup
01:02:20into an industry leader.
01:02:22A legend like that
01:02:23totally deserves
01:02:24the title of sales god.
01:02:26Right?
01:02:27Hey,
01:02:27not to brag,
01:02:28but I'm actually
01:02:29his protege.
01:02:31Why does the way
01:02:31he describes his god
01:02:32sound like Edward?
01:02:34Honestly, it does.
01:02:35So you must have had
01:02:35a high position
01:02:36at your last company, right?
01:02:37Nathan,
01:02:38how did you manage
01:02:39to recruit him?
01:02:40Of course.
01:02:41It took some work.
01:02:43Why are you laughing?
01:02:44You are treating
01:02:45a team I disfired
01:02:46like there's
01:02:47some kind of treasure.
01:02:47Fired?
01:02:51What's going on?
01:02:52Ah,
01:02:52Lauren,
01:02:53I've heard about this.
01:02:54Edward was just jealous
01:02:55of Mr. Bennett's talent.
01:02:57That's why he fired him.
01:02:57Yeah, exactly.
01:02:58That's what happened.
01:02:59Edward,
01:03:00I never thought
01:03:00you were like this.
01:03:01Even in my company,
01:03:02you were jealous of Nathan.
01:03:03Now you're doing
01:03:04the same thing.
01:03:05Miss Morgan,
01:03:06I hope you'll think
01:03:07twice before working with him.
01:03:08My company's business
01:03:09is none of your concern.
01:03:11Besides,
01:03:12I trust Edward.
01:03:14Some people just
01:03:15can't take honest advice.
01:03:17Director Bennett,
01:03:17Nathan,
01:03:18let's go.
01:03:18Hold on.
01:03:19There's still half a month
01:03:20left in our cooling off period.
01:03:22I hope I'll see you
01:03:23at the courthouse then.
01:03:24Fine,
01:03:24let's break up.
01:03:25But when my company
01:03:26gets huge,
01:03:26don't come crawling back.
01:03:28With those two
01:03:28hidden talents,
01:03:30your company
01:03:30is really blessed.
01:03:32Oh,
01:03:32by the way,
01:03:34make sure all the money
01:03:34you spent on Nathan
01:03:35is ready.
01:03:37That's marital property.
01:03:38And don't forget,
01:03:39it'll need to be split.
01:03:40Let's go.
01:03:41Not even gonna bother?
01:03:42Let's go,
01:03:42Mr. Bennett.
01:03:43Try another place.
01:03:44What now?
01:03:45Drink.
01:03:46Come on,
01:03:46come on,
01:03:47come on.
01:03:47Let's raise the glass
01:03:48to Edward
01:03:48and to Claire.
01:04:00Edward,
01:04:00thank you.
01:04:01In just half a month,
01:04:02my company's
01:04:03pulled in nearly
01:04:03200 million.
01:04:04That's enough
01:04:05for me to win this match.
01:04:06Well,
01:04:06what can I say?
01:04:07I'm your employee,
01:04:08after all.
01:04:09Just an employee,
01:04:10huh?
01:04:11What?
01:04:13But the numbers
01:04:14aren't stable yet.
01:04:15There's still
01:04:1510 days left
01:04:16before the deadline.
01:04:17Your brother
01:04:17might use
01:04:18your family's influence
01:04:18and could easily
01:04:19catch up.
01:04:19You don't have
01:04:20to worry about that.
01:04:21The rules say
01:04:21no one's allowed
01:04:22to use family connections.
01:04:23Claire,
01:04:24you're just too naive.
01:04:25Not everyone
01:04:26follows the rules,
01:04:27especially when
01:04:28there's so much
01:04:28at stake.
01:04:29But don't worry,
01:04:30I'll help you.
01:04:32Edward,
01:04:32I believe in you.
01:04:33So you're saying
01:04:37my sister's performance
01:04:38has surpassed mine?
01:04:42You're saying
01:04:43my younger sister
01:04:45has out before me?
01:04:46Yes, Mr. Morgan.
01:04:48Nick,
01:04:49this is all you're doing?
01:04:50Please give me a break.
01:04:52I was just doing
01:04:52my job just fine.
01:04:53Who would have thought
01:04:54that Claire
01:04:54would find some
01:04:56new sales director
01:04:56and kick me out?
01:04:58It's got nothing
01:04:58to do with me.
01:04:59What am I supposed to do?
01:05:00Mr. Morgan,
01:05:01you can't blame Nick
01:05:02entirely for this.
01:05:02As a new director,
01:05:03you should blame.
01:05:04He's just too good.
01:05:08I couldn't handle it here
01:05:09and I can't point fingers there.
01:05:11Huh?
01:05:12Handing Claire
01:05:13all those billions in ass
01:05:14and it's you, Terry.
01:05:1520 years ago,
01:05:16you just didn't drown
01:05:17that little brat for me.
01:05:18Please calm down.
01:05:19It was my fault
01:05:1920 years ago.
01:05:20I didn't expect her
01:05:21to be so lucky.
01:05:21Someone saved her
01:05:22after I threw her
01:05:23in the water.
01:05:23But the way things
01:05:24have turned out now,
01:05:25it's not like
01:05:25there's nothing we can do.
01:05:26So tell me,
01:05:27what can we do?
01:05:28How my grandfather
01:05:28left me with this tiny company?
01:05:30What choice do I have?
01:05:31Mr. Morgan,
01:05:32that's not quite right.
01:05:33With your status
01:05:34and position,
01:05:35even without relying
01:05:36on a family's influence,
01:05:37who would dare not
01:05:37to listen to you?
01:05:38But my grandfather
01:05:40won't let me reveal
01:05:41my identity.
01:05:41His intention is
01:05:42not to let you
01:05:42expose your identity yourself,
01:05:44but if someone else
01:05:44finds out about you
01:05:45through other channels.
01:05:46Oh, I get it now.
01:05:52Edward, bad news.
01:05:53All the clients
01:05:53we had deals with
01:05:54are all trying
01:05:54to back out.
01:05:57Uh-oh, Edward.
01:05:58Why aren't you anxious?
01:05:58Every client
01:05:59has canceled
01:05:59on the contracts.
01:06:00My client's canceled too.
01:06:01Mine did as well.
01:06:02Mine did as well.
01:06:03Mine did too.
01:06:05Schedule meetings
01:06:06with your clients now.
01:06:07What happened?
01:06:16What's going on?
01:06:17It's nothing.
01:06:18All the clients
01:06:18have canceled
01:06:19their contracts.
01:06:20What?
01:06:20They all pulled out?
01:06:22So what do we do now?
01:06:23Relax.
01:06:24It's not a big deal.
01:06:25I saw this coming.
01:06:26Remember what I told you
01:06:27back in the office?
01:06:31You said my brother
01:06:32used our family's influence.
01:06:33I'm going to see my grandpa.
01:06:34Don't rush.
01:06:36He's not stupid.
01:06:37He definitely won't
01:06:37break the rules openly.
01:06:39But behind the scenes,
01:06:40he's letting his people
01:06:41drop hints
01:06:41that he's a Morgan.
01:06:42In all of Rivermore,
01:06:43who would dare
01:06:44go against him?
01:06:45So what do we do now?
01:06:46Since I expected this,
01:06:47I already got a plan.
01:06:50Look,
01:06:51here comes
01:06:52the game changer.
01:06:56Hello?
01:06:57Mr. Foster?
01:06:58Edward,
01:06:58it's something else.
01:06:59That Nick Bennett,
01:07:00he really did come to see me.
01:07:01He said,
01:07:01you're a son of the Morgan family.
01:07:03Anyone who works with you
01:07:04is basically going
01:07:05against the Morgans.
01:07:05But Edward,
01:07:06don't worry.
01:07:06You know me,
01:07:07I'm a man of my word.
01:07:08There's no way
01:07:08I'm amending the contract.
01:07:09No.
01:07:10Terminate.
01:07:11What?
01:07:11Relax.
01:07:11I know what...
01:07:12Claire,
01:07:14seven more days
01:07:14and you'll become the heir
01:07:16to the richest family.
01:07:17I don't care about
01:07:18being some billionaire.
01:07:19the only thing I can...
01:07:20Hello?
01:07:23Edward,
01:07:24don't be late
01:07:25for our divorce appointment
01:07:26tomorrow morning.
01:07:27I've waited so long
01:07:28for this day.
01:07:32Edward,
01:07:33let me go with you tomorrow.
01:07:35Alright.
01:07:40Oh, Edward,
01:07:41I heard your company's been
01:07:42losing a ton of clients lately.
01:07:44Hurts,
01:07:45doesn't it?
01:07:46You all know exactly
01:07:47how that feels to you.
01:07:48You...
01:07:48You...
01:07:50I admit,
01:07:55before,
01:07:55I did lose
01:07:56a small round to you.
01:07:58But,
01:07:58there's an old saying,
01:08:00winning first
01:08:00doesn't count,
01:08:01winning last
01:08:02is what matters
01:08:03right now.
01:08:04You're bound to lose.
01:08:05Whether I've lost or not,
01:08:06it's not up to you.
01:08:08Alright, Edward,
01:08:09stop being so stubborn.
01:08:10You've already failed.
01:08:11In this woman's eyes,
01:08:12you're no use
01:08:13to her anymore.
01:08:14She's going to dump you
01:08:14sooner or later.
01:08:15I'll give you
01:08:15one more chance.
01:08:18As long as you
01:08:18accept Nathan,
01:08:19I won't go through
01:08:20the divorce.
01:08:21Oh,
01:08:22you really have no shame.
01:08:24Let me tell you,
01:08:26I'll never abandon
01:08:27every queen,
01:08:28so just give up already.
01:08:31You,
01:08:32you really are going
01:08:33to say yes?
01:08:33What?
01:08:40You don't trust me
01:08:40that much?
01:08:41No,
01:08:42I just...
01:08:42It's okay.
01:08:44I don't need this chance.
01:08:45Let's go.
01:08:46Let's get divorced.
01:08:55Oh,
01:08:56by the way,
01:08:57I did the math.
01:08:59During our marriage,
01:09:00you spent a total
01:09:00of one and a half
01:09:01a million on Nathan.
01:09:02I've already hired a lawyer
01:09:03to file a lawsuit.
01:09:04If you don't pay it back
01:09:04within a week,
01:09:05let's wait for the court
01:09:06to enforce it.
01:09:08Let's go.
01:09:15Here's to celebrating
01:09:16your divorce
01:09:17and return to single life.
01:09:19Cheers.
01:09:25Now that I'm single again,
01:09:27are you happy?
01:09:28Happy?
01:09:28Of course I'm happy.
01:09:29I've been...
01:09:30ever since a long,
01:09:32long time ago,
01:09:32I've already
01:09:33had feelings for you.
01:09:35Claire,
01:09:36you're drunk.
01:09:37I'm not drunk.
01:09:39Ever,
01:09:39I'm so happy.
01:09:40I've liked you
01:09:41for a long time.
01:09:51Claire,
01:09:52you're drunk.
01:09:53Let me help you
01:09:54get some rest.
01:09:54Okay.
01:09:54Let me help you get some rest.
01:09:55Okay.
01:09:55Let me help you get some rest.
01:09:56Let me help you get some rest.
01:09:58Let me help you get some rest.
01:10:02Edward.
01:10:05Don't go.
01:10:06Edward
01:10:31Edward, please don't leave me again, okay?
01:10:35Yes
01:10:36Relax, how could I ever leave you?
01:10:41Let's have breakfast
01:10:42Edward, don't stress yourself out too much
01:10:54Even if I lose today, and don't inherit the family business, I won't blame you
01:10:58It's enough just to have you with me, let's go
01:11:00Well, well, didn't you two already go bankrupt?
01:11:03What are you doing here?
01:11:04Edward, this isn't a place for you
01:11:06Leave now, when Mr. Morgan gets here, I won't be able to protect you
01:11:08Then why don't you tell me, what kind of place it is?
01:11:11Why shouldn't I be here?
01:11:12Edward Quinn, don't push your luck
01:11:14Today the Morgan family is about to announce they are here
01:11:16They'll shake up the entire business world
01:11:18All the top tycoons are fighting too with the nail to get in
01:11:21It took us ages to get our invitation
01:11:22You're about to go bankrupt
01:11:24How could you have a ticket?
01:11:26How we got in is none of your business
01:11:28Let's just go
01:11:29Stop right there
01:11:29This is Morgan territory
01:11:31For you to run wild
01:11:33Security!
01:11:34Is there a problem, sir?
01:11:35Kick these two out, they don't have tickets and they have no business being here
01:11:38Excuse me, do you have invitations?
01:11:42Excuse me, do I need an invitation?
01:11:44Miss Morgan
01:11:45Miss Morgan?
01:11:46You're Miss Morgan?
01:11:49Of course
01:11:49This is our one and only Miss Morgan
01:11:51Miss Morgan
01:11:52Need me to throw these two who disrespected you?
01:11:55No need
01:11:55Let them go in and see the world
01:11:57By the way
01:11:58That money you owe Edward
01:11:59If you still can't pay it back today
01:12:01Both of you are going to jail
01:12:03Oh wow
01:12:25Isn't this Miss Morgan and Mr. Quinn
01:12:27Who kicked me out of the company a month ago
01:12:30Long time no see
01:12:31Let me take a look at your performance this month
01:12:33Zero, huh?
01:12:37Wow, impressive
01:12:38So impressive
01:12:39Amazing
01:12:40They're both from the Morium family
01:12:41So why is there such a big gap?
01:12:43I never imagined
01:12:44Someone could go an entire month
01:12:46Without closing a single deal
01:12:47And for that
01:12:49We really have to thank Mr. Quinn
01:12:51I heard that a month ago
01:12:53Someone was bragging to me
01:12:54Saying they'd hit 200 million
01:12:55In just one month
01:12:57Ha
01:12:58Bold of you
01:12:59Now the results are pretty obvious
01:13:01The heir
01:13:02To the Morgan fortune
01:13:04Will definitely be Lucas Morgan
01:13:07Keep it low-key
01:13:09After all, my grandpa hasn't made his announcement
01:13:12Oh, Claire
01:13:14I get that you wanted to come back
01:13:16But why are you competing with me for the heir spot?
01:13:18You're Miss Morgan?
01:13:20Edward Quinn is just a paper tiger
01:13:21Now Mr. Morgan's got his eyes on him
01:13:23He's in for a rough time
01:13:24Good thing you divorced him
01:13:25Otherwise, you'd be dragged into this mess too
01:13:27But the final outcome isn't set yet
01:13:29Lucas Morgan, you're celebrating a little too early, aren't you?
01:13:33Less than 20 minutes left
01:13:34Claire Morgan
01:13:35Are you saying you're gonna beat my sales
01:13:38In 20 minutes?
01:13:40Huh?
01:13:40Why not?
01:13:42Who are you?
01:13:44Mr. Morgan
01:13:44He's the sales director at Claire's company
01:13:47Edward Quinn
01:13:48Sales director?
01:13:50I don't dare you talk to me
01:13:51Somebody
01:13:52Smack!
01:13:55Let me tell you
01:13:56Edward isn't just my company's sales director
01:13:58He's also my boyfriend
01:14:00Let's see who dares lay a finger on him
01:14:02Boyfriend?
01:14:05Claire Morgan
01:14:05Did you forget?
01:14:06If you lose today
01:14:08You have to marry the disabled heir of the Shaws
01:14:11Boyfriend
01:14:12You deserve to have one
01:14:13Phew
01:14:14As long as Claire passes this test
01:14:19And becomes the heir
01:14:20Then there's no need for that
01:14:23Ha!
01:14:24Edward Quinn
01:14:24What gives you the confidence?
01:14:26Less than 15 minutes left
01:14:27Zero versus 300 million
01:14:28Can you flip the game?
01:14:30With what, huh?
01:14:31Sir Morgan is here
01:14:32Greetings, Sir Morgan
01:14:42Today, right here
01:14:44I ask everyone to witness this
01:14:46I officially announce
01:14:47The next heir of the Morgan family
01:14:48Hold on
01:14:49Sir Morgan
01:14:50It's not time yet
01:14:51Things aren't hopeless yet
01:14:52How dare you?
01:14:53Sir Morgan is right here
01:14:54You still have the nerve to brag and lie?
01:14:56Are you tired of living?
01:14:57Edward
01:14:57You don't seriously think
01:14:59With such a huge gap
01:15:00And less than 10 minutes left
01:15:02You can pull off and come back?
01:15:03Why not?
01:15:04Young man
01:15:05What's your relationship with Claire?
01:15:07I'm her company's sales director
01:15:08And also her boyfriend
01:15:09All right, all right
01:15:11Grandpa
01:15:11Please announce it
01:15:12There's 10 minutes left
01:15:13Not even a miracle could turn this off
01:15:14Now I announce
01:15:15The next heir of the Morgan family
01:15:17Wait a second
01:15:17If not even a miracle could do this
01:15:19Let me give it a try
01:15:20Mr. Foster
01:15:21You can come in now
01:15:23Time's almost up
01:15:29And you're still calling for backup?
01:15:30Only a few minutes left
01:15:31Who could possibly help you?
01:15:33Just wait a moment
01:15:34You'll see a sooner
01:15:35Edward, stop being stubborn
01:15:36Just admit defeat
01:15:37If it really makes Sir Morgan angry
01:15:39No one will be able to save you
01:15:40Punk
01:15:41Got any last words?
01:15:42Say him now
01:15:43You don't have much time left
01:15:45Lucas
01:15:45The one who needs to leave a well
01:15:47Might just be you
01:15:48You
01:15:48The Foster family
01:15:57The Harris family
01:15:57And the other families of Rivermore
01:15:58Greetings Sir Morgan
01:15:59Greetings Sir Morgan
01:16:04Everyone stand up
01:16:05And you are all from the local families
01:16:07Why have you come here?
01:16:09Sir Morgan
01:16:10We're here today
01:16:11Just to deliver a contract
01:16:13To Miss Morgan
01:16:13Mr. Foster
01:16:14Didn't you say
01:16:15You give me all the orders
01:16:16For the next 15 days?
01:16:18When did I ever say
01:16:19I'd give you that?
01:16:20The agreement I signed with you
01:16:21Was just a letter of intent
01:16:22What we're signing now
01:16:23Is the real contract
01:16:24You
01:16:24You dare mess with me?
01:16:27Wait no
01:16:27Are you trying to play Mr. Morgan?
01:16:28Do you know what will happen?
01:16:30Of course I do
01:16:30The outcome is that
01:16:32Miss Morgan
01:16:33Will become the heir
01:16:34You
01:16:35Welcome
01:16:36And we
01:16:37Are all loyal to Miss Morgan
01:16:39Greetings Miss Morgan
01:16:40No need for the melodies
01:16:42So this is the backup plan?
01:16:46Fine fine fine
01:16:48I really want to see
01:16:48How you're going to turn this around
01:16:49Miss Morgan
01:16:53I'm going to sign here
01:16:55How could I possibly lose?
01:17:21Now I announce
01:17:22The next heir of the Morgan family
01:17:23Is Claire Morgan
01:17:24He turned the tide
01:17:29And held up the falling company
01:17:30The kids got talent
01:17:31He's a good match for Claire
01:17:32Sir Morgan you flatter me
01:17:34No way
01:17:35There's no way I could lose
01:17:36Grandpa
01:17:37I'm your real grandson
01:17:38How could you give the footstool to a woman?
01:17:40What about a woman?
01:17:41She's part of the Morgans too
01:17:43Refusing to admit defeat
01:17:44Do you have no shame?
01:17:45Step back
01:17:46No
01:17:46I won't step back
01:17:48I can't lose
01:17:49I didn't lose
01:17:52Mr. Morgan you lost
01:17:53Face the facts
01:17:54Bullshit
01:17:55If you hadn't failed
01:17:57To get rid of her 20 years ago
01:17:58Would I have lost?
01:18:00Watch your words
01:18:00Watch my ass
01:18:02I've been planning this for years
01:18:03So why did I lose?
01:18:05Tell me
01:18:05What exactly have you done?
01:18:10Speak
01:18:10What's really going on here?
01:18:12Sir Morgan
01:18:1320 years ago
01:18:13Mr. Morgan ordered me to throw Miss Morgan into the river
01:18:15But I couldn't do it
01:18:16I left her at someone's swordstab
01:18:17So she could live
01:18:18Claire is what he said true?
01:18:21My adoptive parents
01:18:21They did find me at their front door
01:18:23You ungrateful brat
01:18:25Security
01:18:26Take him away
01:18:27Punish him severely
01:18:28So he'll never be able to hurt anyone again
01:18:31And the rest of you
01:18:32Confess now
01:18:33How many terrible things have you helped them do?
01:18:35If you do
01:18:36I will give you a way out
01:18:37Otherwise
01:18:37Sir Morgan
01:18:40Please have mercy
01:18:41I'll tell you everything
01:18:43Just spare me
01:18:43A bunch of crooks
01:18:46Send them all to the police station
01:18:47Let them run in jail
01:18:49Sir Morgan
01:18:50And everyone else here
01:18:52Turn yourselves in before it's too late
01:18:54Otherwise
01:18:55If I find out myself
01:18:56Things won't be so simple
01:18:57Let's go
01:19:00Clear
01:19:04These years
01:19:05You've been through a lot
01:19:07With your love
01:19:07I don't suffer at all
01:19:09This young man is not bad
01:19:10When we get back
01:19:10I'll have someone pick a date
01:19:12And get your wedding arranged
01:19:13Thank you, Sir Morgan
01:19:14Still calling me that?
01:19:17Oh
01:19:17Thank you, Grandpa
01:19:18Edward
01:19:25I really know I was wrong
01:19:26Can you forgive me this one time?
01:19:29No, I can't
01:19:30Lauren Carter
01:19:30It's not that you realize you're wrong
01:19:32It's that you know your company is about to fail
01:19:33Edward
01:19:34Think about the eight years we've shared
01:19:36Are you really that heartless?
01:19:38You are a heartless one
01:19:39Not me
01:19:40So you're just jealous?
01:19:42Edward
01:19:42I swear
01:19:43There's absolutely nothing going on between me and Nathan
01:19:45I never cheated on you
01:19:47Please believe me
01:19:48So emotional cheating doesn't count?
01:19:51Lauren
01:19:51A relationship needs both people to work at it
01:19:53When something's broken
01:19:54It can be fixed
01:19:55Take care of yourself
01:19:56Let's go
01:19:57Edward
01:19:58Lauren
01:20:03Don't be sad
01:20:04You still have me
01:20:05Get out of here
01:20:06I don't work for you
01:20:07How could I have ended up divorcing him?
01:20:09How did I not realize that you're just an idiot?
01:20:11Bitch
01:20:11You threw yourself at me
01:20:13And now you're calling me an idiot?
01:20:16Oh, there you hit me
01:20:17So what if I hit you?
01:20:18Edward left you
01:20:18And your company's gone bankrupt
01:20:19I'm all you've got left
01:20:21Do you get that?
01:20:22I've had enough of you
01:20:23Come on
01:20:23Bitch
01:20:24Mother
01:20:33Call the cops
01:20:34Hurry, hurry
01:20:35Hurry
01:20:36Nathan Reed
01:20:38You're suspected of intentional assault
01:20:39And illegal possession of property
01:20:41You need to come with me
01:20:41I didn't do it
01:20:42I didn't
01:20:43Miss Morgan
01:20:48You're really lucky
01:20:50Every time you come for a checkup
01:20:51Your husband's always by your side
01:20:53What exactly
01:21:00Happened to her?
01:21:01I heard that eight months ago
01:21:03She fought with her boyfriend
01:21:04Got pushed and hit her head
01:21:05Now she's in a coma
01:21:06They said she might never wake up again
01:21:08Her boyfriend, I heard
01:21:09Got sentenced to life
01:21:10Still looking?
01:21:14Keep staring and you can go be with her
