00:06To be continued...
00:30And after three months, the police concluded Audrey Hale's death suicide.
00:34Miss Hale worked for Cross Enterprises, one of the biggest real estate companies in the country, and was the youngest
00:40manager.
00:41I have an interview later, Mother.
00:44I swear. Ashton, you throw away assistants as if they have expiration dates printed on them.
00:49Don't worry. I won't take long.
00:52This is the third time this month.
00:54And every time, it means thousands of dollars paid to shut up these blood-sucking flies on the wall.
01:01Come on. The boys just want to have fun.
01:04Not when you're taking over a publicly traded company in two weeks.
01:10You leave me no choice.
01:15You're not crossing me off the trust fund.
01:18I won't. If you get married.
01:32Hi. I'm Zoe Campbell. I'm here for my interview.
01:40Take a seat. We'll call you when he's ready.
01:42Oh. Okay. Um, thank you.
01:45Who did her hair? Do you think she even combed it this morning?
01:48No. She did not comb it, okay?
01:50It's called a rat's nest.
01:52Oh, yes.
01:56This is bullshit.
01:57It can help redeem your image.
01:59It'll show the public that you've stopped screwing around.
02:02It started acting like a cronaut.
02:04I never wanted to be CEO.
02:05Do you know very well
02:07why you cannot be the same?
02:10Or do I have to remind you?
02:24What does she think she's doing?
02:26Oh, I swear these girls are getting dumber.
02:28At least we get a show.
02:31You're the heir to the Cross family, Ashton.
02:34This is the hand you've been dealt with.
02:37Play it well.
02:39This company is your father's life's work.
02:42I'm not letting a weak link ruin it.
02:44I'm so sorry for interrupting.
02:49I'm so sorry for interrupting,
02:51but Jeff said he needed your signature in three minutes,
02:55or we wouldn't be able to close the contract with Gabe from K&L,
02:59and he'd be really, really unhappy.
03:02Who are you?
03:03Pam from Marketing Strategies.
03:06Mrs. Cross, it's a pleasure to meet you.
03:08Thank you, Pam.
03:10Well, obviously,
03:11Pam and I have a lot of work to do.
03:14We'll talk about this another time.
03:17You're not off the hook, Ashton.
03:19I've gone through great lengths
03:20to set you up with some very worthy candidates.
03:23Remember,
03:24you have two weeks,
03:25and I want to see a ring.
03:30We're so sorry, Mr. Cross.
03:32We didn't mean to let this woman disturb you.
03:35Yeah, we're really sorry.
03:36We'll escort her out right away.
03:37Did I say I wanted her out?
03:40She's fine.
03:41She can stay.
03:42Go back to work.
03:45Now, go back to work.
03:47Okay.
03:55Zoe Campbell.
03:57Why did you just burst in here like that?
03:58I didn't mean to eavesdrop,
04:00but it sounded like you could use an escape
04:02from that conversation.
04:03And you came up with that whole story on the spot,
04:05just like that.
04:06Act fast under pressure.
04:14You're hired.
04:15Okay.
04:16Your first day starts...
04:18right now.
04:19Didn't expect it to be so easy,
04:21but yes,
04:22I guess it all starts right now.
04:29I never said I was selling.
04:31Xander,
04:33wouldn't it make more sense
04:35if you didn't live in a penthouse?
04:37You'd also be closer to your PT,
04:39which Mother says is progressing.
04:42I wouldn't call taking five steps
04:44with a walker progressing.
04:47I should probably leave.
04:48Stay.
04:50I see my little brother
04:51has yet another young lady in his life.
04:54This is my new assistant.
04:55Her name is Zoe.
05:00I shall enjoy getting to know
05:02your acquaintance, Zoe.
05:03At least these next few months,
05:05if you last that long.
05:07Xander.
05:07I can fend for myself.
05:11So,
05:13what happened to you?
05:14I assume Dastron
05:15would have told you
05:16why I'm in this shit.
05:17Can we discuss the apartment?
05:20I almost died two years ago.
05:27Car accident.
05:30Our father died.
05:33It made the front page
05:34of every paper.
05:36Cross kingdom shattered overnight.
05:39What the press forgot to mention.
05:42You were there
05:43in the accident.
05:45Yes, I was there.
05:48Can we discuss the apartment?
05:50Please?
05:52This meeting
05:53has completely been derailed.
05:56Zoe, perhaps it's best
05:58if Xander and I continue alone.
06:04Wait, Zoe.
06:06I know my brother
06:07and I know he's charming.
06:10I'm sure you've heard the stories
06:11of all the women
06:12in the late night party.
06:14Most of those women
06:15were in your position.
06:17That's what I'm telling you now.
06:19If he doesn't binge you over,
06:21one way
06:23they'll break you
06:24in another.
06:25Really, Xander?
06:26Thank you for your concern.
06:28But the last thing
06:29you need to worry about
06:30is me falling for your brother.
06:33I assure you
06:34you should be more afraid of me.
06:39Interesting.
06:41I feel like I know you
06:42from somewhere.
06:45Maybe another life.
06:48Must be.
06:50As I stated previously,
06:52I have no intention
06:53of selling.
06:55Xander, please.
06:56I'm only trying to help you.
07:01I don't know about you,
07:02but I could use a drink.
07:08I don't know about you,
