Short filmTranscript
00:30No, kidding. I'm not that much of a jerk. I set up a blind date for you next week. You've
00:34been with me for years. I don't want you to feel you'll go, right?
00:37His eyes are cold. I know the truth. His true love is coming back. He's disposing of me before she
00:43arrives. I clench my fists. Just send me the address. Sir. He flinches at the word, sir. I turn to
00:53leave.
00:54Wait.
00:55He wraps a Burberry shawl around me.
00:57Don't leave tonight.
00:58Pero, ¿está alguien más viene?
01:00¿Tú realmente crees eso? ¿Tú crees que yo soy un total cumbag?
01:04¿Quién más ha habido pero tú?
01:06Me lleva a la cama.
01:07Este es el último momento.
01:10Isabella es volver a casa mañana.
01:12No quiero que ella se supiera una cosa.
01:13Así que sea una buena chica.
01:15Go a ese date.
01:16La mask es finalmente off.
01:18Él es elegir.
01:19No le digo un palabra.
01:21James es un litoral machine.
01:23Dónde dicen que men slow down después de 25.
01:25Con él, es un total lie.
01:27The sun was already coming up.
01:29He finally finished and hit the shower.
01:31I grabbed my clothes and headed out.
01:33That's our unwritten rule.
01:34He hates sleeping next to anyone.
01:36For five years, no matter how tired.
01:39I always crawled to the guest room.
01:41Next morning he was back from the gym.
01:43I rushed downstairs.
01:48I saved some breakfast for you.
01:49No time.
01:50I'll miss my bus.
01:51I can just drive you.
01:53He said.
01:53No.
01:54I blurted out.
01:55My promotion results come out today.
01:57I can't be seen in your car.
01:59Otherwise they'll think I slept my way to the top.
02:01The room went dead silent.
02:02He stopped and let out a cold laugh.
02:05Fine.
02:05Suit yourself.
02:07He handed me a business card.
02:09Your blind date for next week.
02:10My head started spinning.
02:12One night made me almost forget.
02:14I came here to end this mess.
02:15The reason I agreed to drop off condoms last night was to end our five-year messy relationship.
02:20I didn't want to seem desperate.
02:22I took the card.
02:23The edges stung.
02:24Okay.
02:25I whispered.
02:26I'll go.
02:29I've lived at James' house every weekend for years.
02:32Back then, I'd carry heavy bags of clothes.
02:35He built me a walk-in closet just to keep me around.
02:38But today, I'm packing it all up.
02:40My pink slippers.
02:42My pajamas.
02:43Everything is gone.
02:44James just leaned against the door.
02:46Watching.
02:47We're just boss and employee now.
02:49He let out a cold, sharp laugh.
02:52Don't worry.
02:53He smirked.
02:54I won't make things hard for you at work.
02:56I rushed to my desk just before 10 a.m.
02:59My co-worker bought me a congrats coffee.
03:02Don't forget us when you're the director.
03:04I blushed.
03:06The results aren't even out.
03:08You deserve it.
03:08You worked the hardest.
03:10Five years of hard work.
03:11It's yours.
03:12I didn't hold back and smiled at the whole team.
03:15If I win, expensive sushi is on me.
03:20The whole office started cheering.
03:24Three minutes left.
03:25I refreshed my email.
03:27Then, the notification popped up.
03:30We regret to inform you.
03:32Promotion denied.
03:34My mind went completely blank.
03:36The team crowded around.
03:38Then, dead silence.
03:43HR walked in with a woman in white.
03:45This is Isabella, our new director, personally appointed by the James.
03:51I looked up and stopped breathing.
03:53She looked exactly like the photo.
03:55The one James kept hidden in his wallet.
03:59I felt like I had a heavy flu.
04:01I walked to James' office like a robot.
04:03I couldn't stop wiping away my tears.
04:06I knocked.
04:09Come in.
04:12Why?
04:13I asked, my voice trembling.
04:15What?
04:16So many positions in this company.
04:18Why did you give Isabella my promotion?
04:21He finally looked at me.
04:22She wanted it.
04:23Just because she wanted it?
04:25What of the seven years I gave you and your company?
04:27I almost died on that Africa assignment.
04:31James stood up and walked toward me.
04:33Claire, this is reality.
04:34I decide everything.
04:36I just wanted fairness.
04:38He let out a cool, low laugh.
04:40Fairness?
04:41You want to talk about fairness?
04:43If we didn't sleep together, you'd be nothing.
04:46You took the shortcut.
04:47Now you want fairness?
04:48His words felt like a slap to my face.
04:51I worked my heart out for seven years.
04:53I pushed myself every single day.
04:55I had to prove I belonged here.
04:57But he was right.
04:58I got into company because of him.
05:00That's how this all started.
05:02He gave it to me when he wanted to,
05:03and threw me away when he didn't.
05:05I have no right to talk about fairness.
05:12So I'm done.
05:13I'm quitting today.
05:15Meeting James was like a scene from a bad movie.
05:18I moved to New York right after graduation.
05:21My boyfriend cheated and moved on instantly.
05:23I was drowning in stress and heartbreak.
05:26So I went to a bar to drink the pain away.
05:28I had never had that much alcohol before.
05:31I drank until I completely lost my mind.
05:33Usually, I'm too shy to talk to strangers.
05:36But that night, I hit on the hottest guy there.
05:39That guy was James.
05:41He looked like a star on a magazine cover.
05:43He was cold and kept rejecting everyone.
05:46Do you want to come home with me?
05:47But I walked right up and sat next to him.
05:50He took a sip and let out a low laugh.
05:53I've never met anyone as bold as you.
05:57We spent the night in my tiny apartment.
05:59It was an experience like never before.
06:02It was so beautiful.
06:03I completely lost myself.
06:05I thought I'd never see him again.
06:08I was wrong.
06:10The next day, I went to the interview.
06:12I looked up and saw him in a sharp suit.
06:15My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
06:17I recognized him instantly, but stayed calm.
06:20A few hours later, I got the job offer.
06:23On my first day, he cornered me in the elevator.
06:26Claire, right?
06:27Can you handle a physical-only relationship?
06:31I'm usually conservative, but his eyes were deep.
06:36Aye, aye, can do that, I whispered.
06:39The moment I said it, I knew I was screwed.
06:42I fell for him, hopelessly.
06:44By day, he was my boss.
06:46By night, my lover.
06:50He gave me money,
06:53jewelry, and expensive bags.
06:57But he also taught me everything about work.
07:01I actually started to hope he'd love me back.
07:04But today, the fairy tale finally died.
07:08I was kicked out like a total fool.
07:11I finally realized the painful truth.
07:14If it's not meant to be yours, it never will be.
07:17Since I didn't get promoted, I don't even need his signature to quit.
07:23I went to HR and quit in minutes.
07:26Diana, the HR director, gave me a hug.
07:29Thanks for everything, Diana.
07:33Diana, can you do me a huge favor?
07:35Keep my resignation a secret for now.
07:40I don't want anyone to know I'm gone.
07:43She is the only one who knows about me and James.
07:47I promise.
07:50After work, my grandma called me.
07:52Sweetie, did you get the promotion?
07:54You said I'd be the first to know.
07:57My throat tightened.
07:58I couldn't stop crying.
08:00Grandma, I'm leaving the New York.
08:03The line went silent for a second.
08:06That's great.
08:07I missed you so much.
08:08Come home.
08:09I'll cook your favorite food.
08:12I started to sob uncontrollably.
08:15I knew she was just comforting me.
08:18She used to brag about my city job.
08:21I wanted to buy her a house here.
08:25My dream was so beautiful.
08:28My dream was so beautiful.
08:31But reality was just too cruel.
08:33I couldn't sleep that night.
08:35So I started scrolling.
08:38At 2.10am, I saw it.
08:40A local post.
08:41He still loves holding me in his sleep.
08:44James' hand was around her waist.
08:46Then I saw the Cartier ring.
08:49My heart literally stopped.
08:52I knew that ring better than anyone.
08:55I saved for months to buy it for him.
08:59You don't need to buy me gifts you can't afford.
09:01There's really no point.
09:02But you deserve the best.
09:04He kissed me and looked so in love.
09:05Given our relationship,
09:07I didn't think James would actually wear this ring.
09:09The next day, he wore it to work.
09:11He even smirked and flashed it at me.
09:15Every female colleague in the office was gossiping.
09:18God, he looked so good.
09:20It hurt.
09:21Now that ring is on another girl's photo.
09:24They look so perfect together.
09:28It hit me all of a sudden.
09:31The person he's willing to hold
09:34was never me.
09:37One week left until I quit.
09:40Then, Isabella showed up at the cafe.
09:42She threw a bag with a hair strand on the table.
09:45I found this in James' guest room.
09:47So you're the side piece.
09:49Before I could speak,
09:50ice cold coffee hit my face.
09:52Then came the slap.
09:53Hard.
09:54She hissed.
09:55How can you be so cheap?
09:56I went to swing back,
09:58but my wrist was caught.
09:59It was James.
10:00He didn't even look at me.
10:03Get in the car, Isabella.
10:04I'll handle this.
10:08You replaced me after six months?
10:11Isabella was sobbing.
10:13Once she left,
10:15James' eyes turned cold as ice.
10:17Did I not tell you
10:18never about her ass?
10:20I pulled away and laughed.
10:22She found me, James.
10:24I was just waiting for my date.
10:26The one you set up, remember?
10:28I pointed outside.
10:30He's here.
10:31James' face went pale.
10:33His jaw tightened.
10:34Fine.
10:35He snapped.
10:36Enjoy yourself.
10:37He threw his coat over me
10:39and walked away.
10:40The date was a disaster.
10:42An entitled rich brat.
10:46When I got home,
10:48a shadow was waiting.
10:49James was leaning against the wall
10:51checking his watch.
10:53Home already?
10:53No dinner?
10:54No movie?
10:55I tried to walk past,
10:56but he pinned me to the wall.
10:58Are you that obsessed with me?
11:00Not interested in other men at all?
11:02Then he dropped the bomb.
11:05I'm marrying Isabella.
11:07Don't get any ideas.
11:09Because trouble,
11:10then you're fired.
11:12My heart shattered.
11:13I kept my eyes dry.
11:15Don't worry, Mr. James.
11:16I know exactly where I stand.
11:19I walked upstairs without looking back.
11:22Downstairs,
11:23James lit a cigarette in the dark.
11:25He saw wet my window
11:27until the lights went out.
11:28I went home and sold everything.
11:30Every gift,
11:31every memory,
11:32gone.
11:33At the office,
11:34James was a stranger.
11:36Good morning, Mr. James.
11:38Cold,
11:39professional.
11:39I already bought my ticket home.
11:44I'm coming.
11:45Then Tom brought me a latte.
11:47Let's grab dinner tonight?
11:48He handed me roses,
11:49my favorite.
11:51Suddenly,
11:52a loud honk cut the air.
11:53James was staring from his Bentley.
11:55He looked furious.
11:57Then he sped off.
11:58The next day was my last day.
12:00The client, Mr. Harry,
12:02was a creep.
12:02He kept touching me.
12:04I felt sick.
12:05It was raining and dark
12:06when I left.
12:07Footsteps behind me.
12:09It was him.
12:10Hey baby,
12:11get in my car.
12:12He smirked.
12:13I ran into a dark alley,
12:15trembling.
12:16I pressed the panic button
12:17on my watch.
12:18Please answer,
12:19James.
12:20I sobbed.
12:21The call connected.
12:22It was Isabella.
12:24James is showering.
12:25What do you want?
12:27Isabella,
12:28help.
12:28A man is stalking me.
12:31Silence.
12:32Then a cruel laugh.
12:33Another fake emergency?
12:34Nice try.
12:35Who is it?
12:36Just Claire trying to annoy me.
12:39If you talk to her,
12:40I'm leaving.
12:41James' voice was soft,
12:43soothing.
12:44Okay baby,
12:45I won't pick up.
12:46The line went dead.
12:48Harry was right behind me.
12:5010 o'clock a.m.
12:51My desk is empty.
12:52I'm never late,
12:53but James didn't care.
12:54He thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
12:56The meeting starts.
12:57My chair is still empty.
12:59Suddenly,
12:59the HR director screams.
13:00It's Claire.
13:01She's in trouble.
13:02James' face goes pale instantly.
13:04He stands up,
13:05his chair screeching.
13:07What do you mean?
13:07He sees security footage.
13:09It's me in a dark alley.
13:11But in that dark alley,
13:12Harry was dragging me with my hair.
13:14I fought.
13:15I screamed.
13:16I desperately pressed my watch.
13:17The SOS button linked to his phone.
13:20I waited for him to save me,
13:22but he never came,
13:23because his other girl blocked me.
13:25While I was fighting for my life,
13:26he was busy ignoring me to punish me.
13:30Diana's voice is shaking.
13:32Claire sent a report to HQ.
13:33The client tried to assault her last night.
13:35A stranger saved her just in time.
13:37She ran to find a camera for proof.
13:40She's begging us to call the police.
13:42Where is she?
13:43She quit a week ago.
13:44She's already gone.
13:45James stands frozen,
13:46veins popping on his head.
13:47Why wasn't I told?
13:48Why wasn't her resignation on my desk?
13:51Diana stares him down with red eyes.
13:53Company policy.
13:54Junior staff only need their manager's sign-off.
13:56You denied her promotion.
13:57Remember?
13:58James is speechless.
13:59It feels like a slap to his face.
14:01He knows exactly why she failed.
14:02And now it's too late.
14:03I just landed.
14:05The police called.
14:06I gave my statement over the phone.
14:09Then, I threw my SIM card away.
14:10Bye.
14:11New York.
14:12Goodbye.
14:13Passed.
14:14I went home and bought a house.
14:16In cash.
14:16No more debt to anyone.
14:18I sold all the designer bags he gave me.
14:20That gave me $300,000 to start over.
14:24I finally opened my own store.
14:26Grandma's smile was like sunshine.
14:28I thought, life is finally good.
14:30But at night, I still thought of James.
14:33He used to be my everything.
14:34I thought I'd never get over him.
14:36Until six months later, at a bar, I saw a guy who looked just like him.
14:41The same back.
14:42The same drink.
14:43I waited for the pain to hit.
14:45But, nothing.
14:46No pain at all.
14:48I just turned back and laughed.
14:50That's when I knew.
14:51I'm finally free.
14:53A year later, I saw James again.
14:55My shop was booming.
14:57My rivals were furious.
15:01They hired trolls to smear my brand.
15:04So I sued them.
15:06I didn't back down.
15:09I thought it was over.
15:10I was wrong.
15:13Six thugs cornered me in an alley.
15:15They smashed my phone.
15:16I couldn't call help.
15:18Then, a familiar shadow charged in.
15:21It was James.
15:22He jumped in front of me.
15:24Call 911.
15:25He barked, tossing his phone.
15:26A man pulled a knife and lunged.
15:28James didn't even blink.
15:30He shielded me.
15:32The blade sank deep into his side.
15:34Blood soaked his shirt.
15:36I forgot to breathe.
15:37He leaned on me, gasping for air.
15:39He wiped a tear from my cheek.
15:41Don't be scared.
15:42It takes more than that to kill me.
15:44The ambulance took him away.
15:45I was frozen.
15:47It all felt like a living nightmare.
15:50James survived.
15:51He's stable now.
15:53His family rushed to the hospital.
15:55He's hurt because of you!
15:57I never asked him to save me.
15:59How can you be so icy?
16:01I was the one who blocked you.
16:03James never got your call for help.
16:06He almost killed that guy for you.
16:08I don't care.
16:09We broke up a year ago.
16:13He loved you more than he knew.
16:15She handed me an envelope of tickets.
16:18Every single one was to my city.
16:20He came here twice every month.
16:22Just to watch you from afar.
16:24James woke up and saw me.
16:26His voice was a raspy mess.
16:28I thought I'd never see you again.
16:30I tossed the plane tickets on the table.
16:33You've already seen me plenty of times.
16:35He looked away like a guilty child.
16:38I didn't mean to bother you.
16:40James, it doesn't matter anymore.
16:42We've already turned the page.
16:43He looked pale.
16:45His eyes filled with tears.
16:46I'm sorry about your promotion.
16:48I actually had a better plan for you.
16:51I closed my eyes.
16:53My chest felt tight.
16:55This won't make me come back, James.
16:57But you never told me.
16:59Why didn't you explain it back then?
17:01James froze.
17:02No words came out.
17:04Because you didn't think I needed to know.
17:07You were always so high and mighty.
17:10My feelings never mattered to you.
17:12He looked crushed.
17:13Broken.
17:14I paid his medical bills in full.
17:16As I drove off, he looked from the window.
17:19Until he was gone.
17:20For good.
17:22One year later, Winter returned to New York.
17:25I walked into my new office with pride.
17:28My new firm gave me real power.
17:30At 29, I'm back in the game.
17:32I call James for advice when things get tough.
17:35He helps me without asking for anything.
17:37I don't hate him.
17:38I use him as a resource.
17:40I grew faster than ever before.
17:42Five years later, the company went public.
17:45As a founder, I finally have my future.
17:48I am finally the hero of my own story.
17:51We were at a major bidding war for a famous brand.
17:53My old company, James' firm, went first.
17:56Their idea was a cute story about a magic latte.
18:00Drink this.
18:01And your crush will fall.
18:02It was a classic romance drama ending.
18:05The judges loved it.
18:06But that was our idea, too.
18:08My team was panicking.
18:10What do we do, boss?
18:11I walked onto the stage, the spotlight hitting my face.
18:14Our initial plan was the same as theirs.
18:17The room started whispering.
18:18I waited for silence.
18:19But standing here, I want to change the ending.
18:24In our story, the girl doesn't give the latte to the guy.
18:28She drinks it herself.
18:30The judges looked stunned.
18:31I continued with a smile.
18:33If magic exists, I want it to make us love ourselves.
18:36When you value yourself, your real life finally begins.
18:39This comes from my own life.
18:40I used to chase a man I thought was a god.
18:42But once I started loving myself, I realized I am just as good as he is.
18:47Maybe better.
18:48The room was silent.
18:50Then, a single person started clapping.
18:52It was James, sitting in a dark corner.
18:55He wasn't looking down at me anymore.
18:57He was looking up at me with pure respect.
18:59We locked eyes and shared a peaceful smile.
