As jealous lies, hidden identities, and a shocking company secret threaten to tear them apart, a long-buried promise resurfaces.

00:09Oh, thank you.
00:11Thank you so much.
00:13You don't know how much this means to me.
00:16Happy Valentine's Day.
00:18Happy Valentine's Day.
00:19It's okay.
00:20You don't need to thank me.
00:22I'm glad to help.
00:30He's got enough here.
00:31This is mine.
00:31Thank you, lady.
00:39Give it back.
00:42Crazy.
00:42You're a crazy lady.
00:43Get out of here.
00:48Here.
00:48Spillings to you.
00:54I know this is weird, but can I get a hug?
00:58Oh, um.
01:00You know, I'd love to, but I actually, I'm actually running late to work, so just take care of yourself,
01:05okay?
01:10Hey, I'm coming!
01:19I can't believe I'm already three minutes late on my first day.
01:23This is bad.
01:27Oh, God.
01:30Hey.
01:32I'm Mia Sullivan.
01:34I'm the new-
01:35The new junior personal assistant to the CEO?
01:37You're late.
01:40Three minutes late.
01:43I'm sorry.
01:44I was trying to catch a train.
01:45Save it.
01:46I don't care about your silly excuses.
01:49I care about competent personal assistants to the CEO.
01:54If you're three minutes late, he's three minutes late.
01:57If he's three minutes late, this company loses a lot of money.
02:13Well, you're going to have to change your wardrobe if you're going to be assistant to Mr. Whitmore.
02:17We can't have you looking like you bought your clothes at Ross's Dress for Less.
02:23I-
02:24You're lucky.
02:25Me.
02:26Mia.
02:27Whatever.
02:28I don't care.
02:28You're lucky that we are short-staffed this period.
02:32Now go to the break room and go get the CEO's coffee.
02:35Black, no sugar.
02:37Oh, my God.
02:37Just shut up and listen.
02:39Black, no sugar.
02:41And if you get a single drop on the tray, don't bother coming back.
02:46Black, no sugar.
02:52Take this with you.
02:53It has its entire schedule.
02:59Good morning, Mr. Whitmore.
03:01I'm delighted to see you this morning.
03:02Good to see you.
03:04Why is he looking at me like that?
03:07Did he know I was late?
03:08Oh, no.
03:09I'm so dead.
03:11Who's she?
03:12Ugh, her.
03:13This is Mia Sullivan.
03:15the new junior personal assistant that you requested from HR.
03:19She was actually on her way to go get your coffee.
03:22I'll be back with your coffee right away, sir.
03:24The coffee can wait.
03:27Madison, leave us for a moment.
03:29Did I do something wrong, sir?
03:30Sir, I have this morning's briefings ready for you, and...
03:33I said leave us for a moment and close the door behind you.
03:52Look at me.
03:55Have we met before?
03:57You look familiar.
03:59No.
04:00No, I don't think so.
04:02I'm just from the east side.
04:05I probably have one of those faces.
04:08Tell me, Mia.
04:10What do you do when you see someone in trouble?
04:14I...
04:17I try to help.
04:33She doesn't recognize me.
04:48You can leave.
04:50Please ask Madison to come back.
05:01What was that all about?
05:08Miss Brown?
05:09Wait.
05:10Mr. Whitmer asked for you.
05:12He said you should get back in.
05:13Don't speak to me unless I ask a question.
05:18Move out of the way, new girl.
05:30You wanted to see me, sir?
05:32Sit down, Madison, and put that binder away.
05:39I want a full background check on Mia.
05:41I want to know where she grew up, where she went to school, her family history, and her current bank
05:47status.
05:48Bank status?
05:50Sir, that's a bit invasive for a junior assistant.
05:53Do you really not like her that much?
05:56Maybe I should fire her now.
05:59We can get a more competent replacement here by noon.
06:02No.
06:03No?
06:04No.
06:05We will not fire or threaten her.
06:08You'll give me information about her by the end of the day.
06:11There's a single detail missing.
06:13I will take it as a personal failure on your part.
06:17Do you think she's a spy?
06:19No.
06:22I understand, Mr. Whitmore.
06:23I'll get right on it.
06:27She's got to be a spy.
06:32Don't spill it.
06:33If it spills, you get fired.
06:36Deep breaths, Mia.
06:38Deep breaths.
06:41You're doing it, Mia.
06:42You're a coffee-carrying expert.
06:46I don't know.
06:49Still struggling with the basics, I see.
06:52Careful, spy.
06:55If you get one drop of coffee on that tray,
06:59I will make sure that you aren't just fired,
07:04but that you never work at this company again.
07:09Did she just call me a spy?
07:31Your coffee, sir.
07:33What's my first meeting?
07:35Where is it?
07:40It's at 10 a.m., sir.
07:46It's a lunch meeting with the founder of Apex Tech,
07:50and it says here that it's at the Luma Bar and restaurant.
07:56That's a 40-minute drive.
07:59Oh, well, it says here that it's a great environment for you to close your deal in.
08:07You want me to confirm?
08:09No.
08:11Grab your things.
08:12You're coming with me to take notes.
08:16Let's go.
08:30It seems that our guest is late.
08:40It's...
08:41It's canceled.
08:43Oh, oh, oh, oh my gosh.
08:45I'm, I'm so, so sorry.
08:46I, I should have refreshed a calendar before I left the office.
08:52It was canceled an hour ago.
08:54We are not leaving.
08:57There's no meeting, and we're just two people having lunch.
09:05Good afternoon, sir and ma'am.
09:06What can I get for you guys?
09:08Perhaps a bottle of sparkling water.
09:10We'll have the chef's tasting menu for two, and she'll have the lavender honey tea.
09:29Sir, she's so beautiful.
09:32How is it that you don't recognize me, Mia?
09:39Here we are.
09:44That'll be all.
09:47How can someone be this terrifying and handsome at the same time?
09:53He's probably gonna fire me.
09:55He's just being nice.
10:00The food isn't going to eat itself, Mia.
10:02Or do you plan on staring at me for the rest of the hour?
10:05Oh, no, no.
10:06Sorry.
10:07I was, I was just, um, thinking about food.
10:13Eat.
10:14We have a long afternoon ahead of us.
10:19Men, I hit a birdie on a hole three.
10:21Most people only hit pars.
10:24Mr. Whitmore, I am so incredibly sorry about the mix-up with the schedules.
10:28I'll make sure it never happens again.
10:30And your next meeting starts right now.
10:33They've been asking for you for the last 20 minutes.
10:35You need to get in and save the deal.
10:37Stay here.
10:38I'll be right back.
10:45Do you realize that your dumb mistake could get you fired?
10:48God, how stupid can you be, Mia?
10:51Make sure this never happens again, or I will make sure you never work in the city again.
10:55I didn't mean to cause problems.
10:57I'll do better.
10:58I promise.
11:05Today was a complete disaster.
11:09I might get fired tomorrow.
11:16Hey.
11:17Oh, hey.
11:19The streets aren't safe this late at night.
11:21Get in.
11:22I'll drive you home.
11:23Oh.
11:23No, no, no.
11:24It's okay.
11:25I, uh, the bus stop's just a couple blocks away.
11:27And you've honestly done enough for me, so.
11:29I wasn't asking, Mia.
11:31Please, get in the car.
11:35Thanks.
12:06Thank you for the ride.
12:09And, um, thank you for lunch.
12:13Have a good night, Mia.
12:14I'll see you tomorrow.
12:16See you tomorrow.
12:23Thanks.
12:39Madison.
12:40Mr. Whitmore.
12:41So sorry to bother you this late.
12:44It's about Mia Sullivan.
12:46You asked me to look into her background.
12:48Well, I found something you're definitely going to want to see.
12:54I can't believe I didn't see this.
12:57Take a look at her last name, Mr. Whitmore.
13:00This isn't just any Mia Sullivan.
13:03This is the Mia Sullivan.
13:05Sullivan Empire collapses.
13:07CEO Arthur Sullivan found dead in tragic accident?
13:11Her father's rivals didn't just take the company.
13:15They also stripped the family of every cent.
13:19She's a fallen heiress.
13:22Who were the rivals that stripped her from her inheritance?
13:24It was us, Mr. Whitmore.
13:27Your late father led the hostile takeover.
13:32She isn't here just to work for you.
13:35She's here because you're the man that has everything that belonged to her.
13:48Sorry to interrupt.
13:49I have the updated reports you asked for.
13:53How dare you show your face after all those lies, you fraud?
13:57Madison, enough.
14:00You think I didn't see what you guys did yesterday.
14:03I will have you removed from the company before you even get a chance with him.
14:12Mr. Whitmore?
14:18Is that...
14:29She's in his car?
14:32It is literally her first date and he's taking her home already?
14:38She has got to go.
14:40The little rat has got to go.
14:50Hello.
14:51I have a job for you.
14:53You've got the floor.
14:55I need a set of forged documents on Mia Sullivan.
14:59I don't care how you do it.
15:01Just name your price.
15:03Five grand.
15:06Done.
15:08Half of it in your account tonight and the other half when she is standing in the middle of the
15:12street with nothing but the clothes on her back.
15:17We know who you are, Mia.
15:19It's all there in the folder.
15:21Her real identity.
15:23She's a Sullivan who wants to destroy the company.
15:26Sullivan?
15:27Please, don't play dumb with me.
15:29We all know that you're Daniel Sullivan's biological daughter.
15:33Daniel?
15:34I don't even talk to my uncle.
15:36I haven't seen him in years.
15:37Please.
15:38Daniel Sullivan is not my father.
15:41He's my uncle.
15:44My biological dad died when I was a child.
15:47But there are a lot of Sullivans in this city.
15:50My father was a carpenter.
15:53He died at a construction site when I was five.
15:56If you looked into the history of my life instead of trying to destroy it, you wouldn't know that I've
16:04been working three jobs ever since I was 16.
16:12Mr. Whitmore, you have to believe me.
16:23I believe you, Mia.
16:26I believe you.
16:28What are you doing?
16:30I was trying to protect you.
16:32By lying, Madison?
16:34It wasn't a lie.
16:35I wanted her gone before she could hurt you.
16:37And who said I needed protecting?
16:39Hmm?
16:40Madison?
16:42Answer me.
16:46You know what I think?
16:48I think the only person in this room who was a threat to this company was you.
16:53I can't even trust you anymore.
16:56Mr. Whitmore!
16:56Get out!
16:58Now!
16:59Now!
17:04Mr. Whitmore, I know she messed up, but please don't fire her.
17:08Mia, she just tried to frame you.
17:11You were going to lose your job.
17:12I know, but she was just trying to do what she had to do.
17:15She was trying to protect you.
17:18She's been loyal to you for all these years, hasn't she?
17:22She's still so kind.
17:24Why are you defending someone who was so messed up to you?
17:27Mia, because everyone makes mistakes when they're scared.
17:32And if you get rid of her, I would feel like it's my fault.
17:37I know what it's like to be disposable and invisible.
17:45I don't want her to feel like that because of me.
17:47You are not invisible to me, Mia.
17:51Not at all.
17:55And you're sure we absolutely never met before?
17:59Huh.
18:01That's odd.
18:04Because five years ago, on Valentine's Day, on a very cold Tuesday,
18:10a lady who looked exactly like you helped a man who looked exactly like me.
18:17He was on the ground with a cardboard sign.
18:23He was a wreck.
18:26You were...
18:27Most people saw a ghost, but a beautiful woman with the prettiest smile
18:32and a heart far too big for this city stopped
18:35and gave me five dollars.
18:40I promised if I survived,
18:42I would tell her that I spent the rest of my life
18:44trying to be the man who deserved to be in front of her again.
18:50You're not invisible to me, Mia.
18:54You saved me.
19:02Come in.
19:06You're Lavender Honey Tea Director, Mia.
19:09And happy Valentine's Day.
19:11Thank you, Madison.
19:12Me too.
19:14Hope you have some fun plans tonight.
19:32You know, I was looking at my schedule for about 20 minutes
19:35and I realized something is wrong.
19:37Oh, really, Mr. Whitmore?
19:39It doesn't have a Valentine's Day dinner date
19:41with the director of Illumatou.
19:47Oh, my gosh.
19:48You're so silly.
19:54I love you, Mia.
20:03You're the best thing that ever happened to me
20:05five years ago and now.
20:07I can't wait to take you to dinner tonight
20:09at your favorite restaurant.
20:15It's funny that we met on Valentine's Day.
20:18I guess Valentine's Day really is the day of love.
20:24Now go.
20:25You have a board meeting in 10 minutes.
20:26Okay.
20:28Love you, my handsome director.
20:32Love you, my handsome director.
