00:00I get it. You like Joshua. Yeah, but he's the CEO. And Amanda, she's amazing. How can I
00:12compete with someone like her? What do you want, Oliver? You've treated me horribly for weeks.
00:18It poured my heart out in this project. And you never even thanked me. We'll find a way to make
00:24him see that he can't just treat people like this. I've just always felt so powerless.
00:30I'm here. Like I'm one mistake away from losing everything. You know how stressful that is?
00:42What are you daydreaming about? Nothing. What's up? Just wanted to say hi to my work,
00:48bestie. It is so much easier to get through the day when you're around. Oh my gosh. You're
00:53so sweet. You know, you've been so welcoming ever since I got here. How was your job?
01:00Your date? Oh, I am glad you asked. The date was amazing. He took me to this little Italian
01:06spot. So romantic. We talked for hours. Oh, he's like, he's really sweet. Like, he's one
01:14of those guys who holds the door open for you. I love it. Okay, so is there going to be
01:18a
01:18second date? Definitely. What about you? Any crushes I should know about? Nope. Uh-huh. Come on. It's 1135. We
01:33can round that up to lunch. I'm done. Hey, James, we're going to go get lunch. You want to come?
01:37Sure. I'd love to.
01:41I know that we've had our fair share of adventures, but Kayla is the real adventurous one here. She went
01:47to
01:47Tokyo last year. What? Tokyo? Man. Emily, where would you want to go? Any countries? Um, Italy? Yeah. Tell Kayla
01:57about your hiking stuff that you do.
01:59Because she's like super outdoorsy and you said you liked hiking. I'm, yeah, I mean, there's a, there's a trail
02:04by my house that I, that I go to sometimes, but.
02:07Emily, you like hiking? Would you ever go with Kayla? Honestly, not really the outdoorsy type. A good picnic though.
02:12I will do a picnic every once in a while.
02:14You know, I just realized that I forgot my phone at the office, so I'm going to run and go
02:20get it and I'll be right back. Oh, wait, no, I'll come with you. Oh, no, no, no. You stay
02:24here. Hang out with James, okay? I'll be right back. And why don't you scoot over there?
02:34She's been so stressed lately.
02:36I don't know. You can tell, but hey, what about that picnic?
02:50Oh, Kayla. You're exactly who I was looking for.
02:54Mr. Hastings. I mean, Josh. Hi.
02:58Hi. Uh, I'd like you to meet Amanda. She's going to be overseeing a project that's critical to this company's
03:03future.
03:04So nice to meet you.
03:06Thank you. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I'm confident we'll get through.
03:11Kayla, right? Joshua's told me you're quite talented. I'm looking forward to seeing that in action.
03:17Well, I will do my best.
03:18And we've only got a month to get this project going, so I expect perfection from you, okay?
03:23Joshua, we have a strategy meeting to get to.
03:40Oh, my God, you guys. You know that Amanda and Joshua are, like, totally together, right?
03:46What makes you say that?
03:48Well, last time I worked late, they were the only two left in the office, and it seemed to me
03:55that they did that on purpose, if you know what I mean.
04:00Yeah, but you just, that's a feeling. You don't have any, like, proof.
04:05Well, no, but I mean, Amanda's, like, gorgeous and smart. I don't know how he could resist that.
04:15Scandalous. We should probably get back to work.
04:17Right, right, right.
04:33Hey, what's going on? You've been distracted for days.
04:46I get it.
04:48You like Joshua.
04:50Yeah.
04:53But he's the CEO.
04:55And Amanda, she's amazing.
04:58How can I compete with someone like her?
05:00Hey, you, you are amazing.
05:05All right, well, what about you?
05:07How's your dating life?
05:09I give up, okay? I'm over it.
05:11No, every time I meet a cute, nice guy, he ghosts me.
05:14Well, what about James? He seems into you.
05:16James is great, but he's way too nice, man.
05:20Serious. I mean, like, nice is good, but he's, like, too nice.
05:23He did invite me to lunch, though.
05:25Mmm.
05:27Ladies, I need an update on that project.
05:29We cannot afford any more delays.
05:31I am so sorry.
05:32We are working on it.
05:33Well, if you were working hard, and there's no progress, then you're obviously not working
05:37very smart.
05:38Of course.
05:40You're right.
05:41We'll get right back to it.
05:57What did I miss?
05:59Oh, how was lunch?
06:02It was good.
06:02Yeah, no, it was fine.
06:05Okay, I'll admit, I didn't realize that James was so interesting.
06:08He's very fun to talk to, but I'm still not into him.
06:12He's not my type.
06:12I don't know why.
06:14Oh, my God.
06:15He has the biggest crush on you, and you totes have a crush on him, too.
06:20It's so obvious.
06:22What?
06:23Are we really doing this right now?
06:25What is this, high school?
06:26Come back to your desk, man.
06:31Ridiculous.
06:37And done.
06:38Oh, I knew you could do it.
06:41I knew you could do it.
06:42To making our deadline.
06:44Cheers.
06:45To making our deadline.
06:46Mm.
06:48James, since we're all here, and it's just the three of us, you should know, Kayla has
06:55a little crush on Joshua.
06:57Emily!
06:58Really?
07:00Yes, but it's silly.
07:02I mean, he's the CEO, and I'm... me.
07:06So...
07:07What's wrong with that?
07:08Oh, come on, Kayla.
07:10It's just...
07:11What is that?
07:12Well, what does it even matter?
07:13I mean, I'm pretty sure he's with Amanda anyway.
07:15Eh, I heard the same thing, but you can't really trust Auschwitz's gossip.
07:18Especially if it comes to somebody like Daniel.
07:21Great guy.
07:21But the sliding around thing, you could tell.
07:23I don't know.
07:24It's just...
07:25I think he's out of my league.
07:27I mean, he's a successful entrepreneur, and I'm just entry level.
07:31You're successful at that?
07:33Look, you are amazing, Kayla.
07:36If he can't say that, then that's his loss.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Cheers to that.
07:46And that's how we plan to streamline the process, reducing costs by 20% while maintaining our efficiency.
07:53Yeah, and we incorporated feedback from some of our previous projects so that we can avoid those pitfalls in the
07:58future, making it a lot more user-friendly.
08:01There are some good ideas here.
08:04However, there are several issues.
08:07For one, the cost reduction estimates seem overly optimistic.
08:12Where's your contingency?
08:14Well, we were considering the most likely scenarios.
08:19So you're assuming everything is going to go right all the time.
08:22Is that what I'm hearing?
08:23No.
08:24No.
08:24We can always go back and reassess the financials based on the type of feedback that we're getting.
08:31All right.
08:33We'll get to it.
08:37We got this.
08:39Yeah.
08:45As you know, this project is huge to the future of this company.
08:49I'm excited to see what you all put together.
08:51Amanda, all yours.
08:53There were several areas where the initial plan was lacking.
08:56I've taken the liberty by upgrading it, by synchronizing backward overflow.
09:03My revisions include a more realistic budget forecast and a refined user agreement strategy.
09:09Hey, these are our ideas.
09:12Kayla's, mine, Emily's, and James's.
09:15You're taking credit for our work.
09:17Kayla, let's not get emotional.
09:20It's about what's best for the company.
09:22Your contributions are in there, but I had to refine them a lot.
09:27Well, uh, Amanda, thank you for your hard work and your contributions to this.
09:33Um, we appreciate all your effort on this.
09:35I'm done.
09:37Congrats on your promotion, Amanda.
09:46Kayla?
09:49Kayla, please.
09:50What?
09:51What could you possibly want?
09:54Hmm?
09:55The work.
09:56The hours.
09:57The effort that I put into this, and Amanda just stole it.
10:01And not even a thank you.
10:04You can't even treat me like I'm a, you know, regular person.
10:09Do you have any idea what that feels like to be treated like you're invisible?
10:17I love you, Joshua.
10:21But seeing you with Amanda, it hurts so bad.
10:27Kayla, wait.
10:28No.
10:29Mm-mm.
10:29I'm done.
10:31Kayla, please.
10:31I quit.
10:34I quit.
10:39I quit.
10:48I quit.
10:55Kayla, I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for everything.
11:02The way that I've treated you the past couple weeks is, is completely unacceptable.
11:08I've just been under so much stress from the boards and the project.
11:15And that's not all.
11:18I didn't know how to process my feelings for you.
11:25But, I love you, Kayla.
11:30I've loved you from the very beginning.
11:33I just never really knew how to show it.
11:39But your grit, and your grace, and your determination through all of it has just been so inspiring.
12:00How did you find out where I live?
12:05James, please don't be mad.
12:07I think him and Emily are dating now, and they make a pretty good couple.
12:16Well, could I maybe come in?
12:19Yeah.
12:20Do you want to?
12:21Okay, yeah.
12:43Oh!
12:44Well, look who's in early.
12:46I was just going to say the same thing about you two.
12:49Um...
12:54Geez, everyone's in love around here.
12:58Alright, you guys.
12:59Hey, back to work.
13:01No problem.
13:03Okay.
13:08Oh, thank you.
13:09You're so welcome.
13:21Isabella, snap out of it.
13:25What?
13:26You were dreaming, and it looked like a good one.
13:30Who was it about?
13:32I don't know.
13:33I don't remember.
13:34Oh, come on.
13:35Don't be shy.
13:36We all have those kinds of dreams.
13:41I'm so happy you joined the company.
13:43I've been dying for a coli I can really talk to, you know?
13:47Thank you, Victoria.
13:48I like working with you, too.
13:51Oh, how did your date went last night?
13:54I'm so glad you asked.
13:56It was amazing.
13:57It was so hot and kind.
14:00We went to this cute Italian place.
14:03But enough about me.
14:05What about you?
14:06Any crushes?
14:08Maybe it's a guy from your dream?
14:10No, no crushes right now.
14:12I don't believe you.
14:14I'm fixing this.
14:16Hey, Edward.
14:17Want to join us for lunch?
14:18Me?
14:19Sure.
14:21I'll give you a wallet.
14:22Okay.
14:24Nice.
14:31So, Edward.
14:33What have you been up to lately?
14:35What do you like to do in your free time?
14:37You know, I like to play video games.
14:40Video games?
14:42Really?
14:43Um, Izzy, do you like video games?
14:47Uh, not really.
14:49I like board games sometimes.
14:53Cool.
14:54Yeah, I just beat, um, you know, Elden Ray.
14:56I like action movies.
14:58What about you?
14:58Do you like action movies?
15:00Oh, me?
15:01Um, I hate action movies, actually.
15:04I prefer romance.
15:06What about you, Izzy?
15:08I prefer romance movies, too.
15:10Do you have any pets?
15:11No, I'm allergic.
15:14I have a cat.
15:15Oh, I have a dog.
15:19Yeah.
15:21Hairless husky, he has a skin condition.
15:23Yeah.
15:26Thanks so much, ladies.
15:28Yeah.
15:28See you guys.
15:29See you around.
15:30All right.
15:34All right.
15:36Hey, Isabella.
15:39I want them juicy two to sell it.
15:41She's joining us for a really important company initiative.
15:44Basically, she's going to be my right hand from now on.
15:46As Oliver mentioned, I'll be managing this high stakes project.
15:51It's stressful and we have a tight schedule.
15:54One wants to deliver.
15:55And I need you to work closely with Stella.
15:57Basically, she's going to be managing and supervising everything.
16:01This car should be the one that saves company, so there's a lot riding on us.
16:06Nice to meet you, Stella.
16:09The same here.
16:10You can count on us.
16:12Great.
16:13Looking forward to working with both of you.
16:21I swear they're dating.
16:23But what makes you say that?
16:24It's just a feeling.
16:26The last time I worked late, it was just the two of them in the office.
16:28Oliver and Stella.
16:31Are you sure you don't have a crush on anyone here?
16:34Come on, you can tell me.
16:35I'm sure.
16:38Anyway, let's get started on this big project.
16:43You're just going off a feeling.
16:45That's not proof.
16:46Maybe.
16:47But she's a knockout, isn't she?
16:49And she's smart.
16:50And she came from some big shot company.
16:53I mean, who could resist someone like her?
16:55Yeah, let's get to work, Isabella.
17:10Hey, what's going on?
17:13You've been distracted and unproductive for days.
17:17Tell me, what's on your mind?
17:19Nothing.
17:25You have a crush on Oliver, don't you?
17:30Oh, yes, I do.
17:33But how could someone like him be interested in someone like me?
17:38Look at him.
17:39And look at her.
17:42Stella is perfect.
17:45Anyway, what about you?
17:46How is your dating life going?
17:48Oh, I'm so over dating.
17:51Every time I meet a nice, cute guy, he just disappears.
17:54And the rest?
17:56Boring as hell.
17:58What about Edward?
18:00I mean, he really appreciates you.
18:02And he's a really nice guy.
18:05And Edward?
18:06No, no way.
18:09Sure, he's nice, but he's too nice.
18:11I don't know.
18:12It's just boring.
18:13I need more excitement in my life.
18:18Isabella, I need updates on the project pronto.
18:20We need results, Isabella.
18:21You need to wake up and focus.
18:23It's urgent.
18:24I'm sorry, I'll work faster.
18:34Hey, you two want to grab lunch?
18:36Ugh, yes, I definitely need a break.
18:39Let's go, Izzy.
18:41No, I'm way behind.
18:44I need to catch up on this project.
18:46No lunch for me.
18:47But thanks for the invite, Edward.
18:50Don't leave you alone with him.
18:53It's fine.
18:54You're not going alone, you're with him.
18:56Don't worry.
18:59Fine.
19:00So what do you want to eat?
19:10Uh, Petulias.
19:20How was it?
19:22It was cool.
19:24I didn't know he was this fun.
19:27But still, not for me.
19:29Uh, he's got a crush on you and you like him too.
19:32It's obvious.
19:33Stop it, Blake.
19:35Mind your own business.
19:36And you're completely wrong.
19:52Let's start with the project.
19:55We made solid progress, but, um, we're just missing some final adjustments and-
20:00Final adjustments?
20:02It should have been done by now.
20:05Tomorrow afternoon, you're going to present the project to me, but first-
20:08They're going to run it by Stella to see if there's anything she wants improved.
20:12Make sure it's flawless.
20:17Why is he being such a jerk to you lately?
20:19I hate the way he talks.
20:21Something's off.
20:23Yeah, Victoria's right, but-
20:25Pencil slack, he's stressed.
20:27Although it's-
20:28Strange.
20:29I saw him with Stella the other night and he wasn't exactly happy with her either.
20:32Blake, for the last time, mind your own business.
20:37What about we work on my place tonight to finish the project?
20:41We could even make it more fun with some operatives.
20:45I love that idea. Let's do it.
20:48Oh, hey, are you guys leaving already?
20:50I just had to ask if you wanted to grab a drink, kind of like an after work thing.
20:54Oh, um, we got to finish this project. We're a bit stuck on some parts, so we're heading to easiest
21:01place to work.
21:02Well, Edward, if you're feeling lonely, I'm still here.
21:07Um, well, if you guys need some help, I'm happy to. I have some experience with these types of big
21:14projects. I'd be happy to lend a hand.
21:16Oh, that is so sweet of you, Edward.
21:19Sure, we'd appreciate the help.
21:21It would be great to have an extra set of eyes on this.
21:24Okay, let's go.
21:28Yeah, I think we're almost done.
21:33Oh my god, I can't believe we pulled this off.
21:36Yeah, it looks good. I think Oliver's going to like this.
21:41That's it. We're done.
21:48All right, well, now that we're done with work,
21:52Edward, did you know that Izzy has a crush on Oliver?
21:55Victoria!
22:01Yeah, yes.
22:03But honestly, how could someone like him be interested in someone like me?
22:08Besides, he's probably dating Stella.
22:10You shouldn't say that about yourself. You're hard-working, you're kind, and anybody would be lucky to have you.
22:18Don't sell yourself short. And who knows what's really going on with Stella and Oliver?
22:23Exactly.
22:29And that's how we plan to execute the final plan.
22:32We believe this approach will streamline the workflow and hit the deadline efficiently.
22:42It's not bad.
22:45There are some good elements here, but honestly, I expected something more innovative.
22:53This, it feels like any junior team could have put together.
22:57The design is too conventional.
23:00Where's the wow factor?
23:01You're aiming to save this company, but that just doesn't sound groundbreaking.
23:07We're talking about a project which could change everything. And it just doesn't have that boldness that it requires.
23:21This project is crucial for the future of this company.
23:25Stella, go and visit down what you worked on.
23:28As you all know, I've been refining a business plan to ensure we meet our goals.
23:33There were some weak areas that needed improvement. So I made sure to upgrade it with my inputs.
23:41I made an adjustment to your initial work. It was a bit lacking.
23:46But now, with my expertise, I believe now we have something solid.
23:51That's not true. All those ideas came from us. Victoria and me.
23:57You're just taking credit for our work. And Ed won't help too.
24:10What do you want, Oliver? You've treated me horribly for weeks.
24:16It poured my heart out in this project. And you never even thanked me.
24:21You never show any appreciation.
24:23I tried so hard to please you.
24:26You never cared about me. You never even noticed. Do you know why I've been so distracted?
24:34It's because I love you, Oliver.
24:38Since the very first day.
24:42But then I saw you with Stella. And that broke my heart.
24:46But you don't care about me.
24:49Not like I care about you. I can't do this anymore.
25:08Isabella. I'm so sorry for our retreating the past few weeks.
25:12I was under so much pressure between the board and the project breathing down my neck.
25:17And something else.
25:19The second thing is I've been struggling with my feelings for you.
25:23I didn't know how to handle it. I didn't know how to show you how much you mean to me.
25:29How do you get my address?
25:31Edward gave it to me, but don't kill him just yet.
25:35I'm pretty sure he's there in Victoria.
25:37And I thought it was a perfect match. And I followed Stella.
25:43Turns out she didn't really know much about the business plan at all.
25:46I read Victoria the amount of details.
25:48Tell me the two of you created without her.
25:51Oliver.
25:52I should have stressed you from the start.
25:54I've always been the one with the ideas.
25:56The heart.
25:59But it's been too blind to see it.
26:03You really hurt me, Oliver.
26:05I'll do anything but make it up to you if you'll just give me the chance.
26:20Love is everywhere around here.
26:25All right, guys. Get back to work, all right?
26:28All right. See you later.
26:39Look, we need to make a big splash, all right?
26:42And I'm counting on your team to deliver. Do you think you can handle it?
26:45Absolutely, sir. We'll do everything we can to make sure it's a success.
26:49When do you need the presentation by?
26:51I want a full presentation in one month.
26:54Now, I know that's a tight timeline, but we don't have much leeway.
26:57The board is expecting results, and we can't afford to miss this opportunity.
27:01Um, in a month.
27:03Understood.
27:04You know, it's a big project, sir, and I won't lie, the timeline's going to be a bit of a
27:07challenge,
27:08but we'll do our best to have it ready by then.
27:10Uh, challenging or not, it has to be done.
27:14Look, we're in a competitive market, and we need to stay ahead.
27:17I need your assurance that this will be handled with the utmost priority.
27:21Absolutely, sir. You have my word. We'll have it ready 100% by the deadline,
27:25and I'll personally oversee the project to make sure everything goes smoothly.
27:29Good. Look, I'm counting on you, Michael, all right?
27:32This could be a major turning point for the company. No excuses.
27:35If there's anything you need, resources, extra hands, you let me know, but make it happen.
27:42Thank you, sir. I appreciate the support, and I'll make sure we deliver. We won't let you down.
27:47Remember, Michael, the board, it has high expectations. This isn't just another project,
27:52all right? It's a chance to redefine our position in the market.
27:55Of course, sir. You can count on us. I've already started putting together a team of
27:59our best people to tackle this. We'll bring something to the table that the board will love.
28:02Just make sure to keep me updated along the way, all right? I don't want any surprises.
28:08Understood, sir. I'll keep you very updated every step of the way.
28:17Alyssa, what the hell do you think you're doing?
28:20I'm just tidying up. Sorry, something wrong?
28:24You just embarrassed me in front of the CEO. Don't you know how to knock before entering?
28:28How could you be so careless? Well, I'm just doing my job.
28:32You never had a problem with me coming in before.
28:35Well, maybe where you're from, people don't know basic manners.
28:38But here, I expect a little more decorum. Or is that just too much to ask?
28:42Where I'm from, people treat each other with respect. I've always done my work quietly and efficiently,
28:49and I don't appreciate being talked down to like this.
28:52You know, you are so busy blaming everyone else that you can't see how your own attitude is actually
28:58the problem. You know what? I don't need to take this from you. You're fired.
29:05You're fired. Get out of my office. Now.
29:25I'm so sorry, Alyssa. Michael is a jerk. You don't deserve this. You deserve so much better than how he
29:32treated you.
29:34You'll find another job someplace where they'll appreciate you.
29:37You don't understand, Jennifer. If I lose this job, they're going to send me back to Woodville, Kentucky.
29:47I don't know anyone back home anymore. This job is my only chance to start a new life here.
29:53To stay here and build something.
29:57He doesn't even know what you're going through and I'm sure he doesn't care.
30:01But we do. And we're not going to let him get away with this.
30:04But how? He's our manager, Logan. What can we really do? I'm just a janitor. I don't have any power
30:13here.
30:14You're not just a janitor, Alyssa. You're a person who deserves respect. Just like everyone else.
30:21We're not going to let him walk all over you. We'll figure something out. We'll stand up to him together.
30:28He's been treating everybody like crap for months now. It's time someone stood up to him.
30:33We're definitely not going to let him destroy your life because of his ego.
30:37Listen, we'll find a way to make him see that he can't just treat people like this.
30:41I've just always felt so powerless here. Like I'm one mistake away from losing everything.
30:49You know how stressful that is? But hearing you two say that gives me hope.
30:57I don't want to live in fear anymore.
30:59And you won't, Alyssa. We're going to make sure of that. You're not alone in this. We'll do whatever
31:05it takes to protect you and keep you here. Yeah, we're in this together, like she said.
31:09We'll take it one step at a time and we'll get through it. All right, Michael might think he's
31:13untouchable, but he's not. We'll find a way to make him pay for this and we'll make sure you're safe.
31:19Thank you. Lord, I don't know what I'd do without you both. It's scary, but knowing I have the two
31:27of
31:27you with me, it makes me feel like I can face this, whatever comes next. We'll figure out a way
31:33to fix this.
31:35Maybe we can talk to HR or get the other employees to support you, you know? Michael can't just do
31:40whatever he wants without consequences. Thank you.
31:56Thank you guys for coming in. I need to discuss something important with both of you.
32:01What's going on, Michael? Well, I just got off a call with the CEO
32:04and he's decided that the project we're working on needs to be completed in one month.
32:09That's a month earlier than we planned. One month? But that's insane. Look, we've already got a full
32:17plate with our other projects, right? How are we supposed to pull this off? I know, I know it's a
32:21lot to ask.
32:22And I understand the pressure you're both under, but this project is crucial for the company's future.
32:27We don't have a choice. The CEO expects results and we need to deliver.
32:32Michael, we're already stretched thin. We've been putting in long hours as if. How are we supposed to
32:37take on this additional workload without burning out? I get it. I really do. But we're going to have
32:43to find a way to make this work. It's going to require extra hours, some overtime, and if we work
32:49together
32:49as a team, I believe we can get it done. Michael, we're already working hard. We're swamped with the
32:55projects we've got on our plates already. Adding this on top, it's just not realistic, man. We're only human.
33:03We want to help, but there's only so much we can do. We've been giving it our all,
33:09but we're at our breaking point. We can't keep palling on work without something giving.
33:13I understand. I don't want to push you guys beyond your limits, but the CEO is expecting results.
33:21I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. If we don't deliver, the consequences could be severe
33:27for all of us. Well, that's unfortunate, but we're not doing anyone any favors by lying to you
33:33about what's possible because this simply isn't. Look, we've got other work to do and we really need
33:40get back to it. Michael, I have finished my work for the day, but before I leave for good,
34:04I wanted to say goodbye. And before I go, I need to tell you exactly what I think of you.
34:14You manage people without compassion, Michael. That's why your teams won't listen to you.
34:20And quite frankly, I know that you have the potential to be a far better manager than this.
34:26Wait, where are you going? I'm leaving. You fired me, remember?
34:36I didn't mean what I said. You're not fired. It'd be a huge loss for the company and for myself.
34:42Look, Alyssa, I just want to apologize for what I did and said earlier. I know it's unforgivable,
34:48but the pressure I'm getting from the CEO is driving me crazy. And you're right about everything you just
34:54said. The pressure and stress have changed me as a manager. I need to fix that and become the manager
35:00I used to be. Well, I accept your apology, Michael. Yeah, we're all human and sometimes we get a little
35:08lost in our own struggles. Alyssa, you have an amazing personality. You bring light into this office,
35:15even when things are tough. You're warm, you're kind, and everyone adores you, including me.
35:23Look, I know I've been awful lately, but I need your help. Can you help me win back my team?
35:29They adore you and you know them better than anyone. Well, I'm just the janitor and you've got
35:36a lot of work to do, Michael, but if you're serious about changing, I'll help you. Yeah,
35:41we can get Logan and Jennifer back on your side. We'll do it together. Thank you, Alyssa.
35:46I promise I won't let you down.
35:57Jennifer, Logan, can I have a moment? Of course, Michael. What's up?
36:02Well, I just wanted to apologize for my behavior the other day and honestly for how I've been over the
36:07past few months. I've been under a lot of pressure and I know that it's no excuse, but I'm sorry
36:13for
36:14how I've treated you. Thank you. Thank you for saying that, Michael. You guys have been nothing
36:18but professional and dedicated and even when I made things difficult, your work ethic and your
36:23creativity and the way you just support your team, it's all top notch. I've been focused on the wrong
36:29things and I haven't given you guys the recognition you deserve. You're both assets to this company and
36:36I'm grateful to have you on the team. That means a lot, Michael. Thank you. Yeah, it's been a tough
36:43few
36:43months. You both have shown incredible resilience and dedication and even when I made things challenging,
36:48your leadership within the team and your ability to manage multiple projects and your willingness to
36:55speak up when things aren't right, it's just invaluable. I've been too wrapped up in my own
36:59stress to see how much you guys actually hold together. Thanks, Michael. We know it's been tough
37:04and we know deep down you're a great guy and a great boss. Thank you, both. Your forgiveness and
37:12understanding means everything to me. Well, we'll say we get going on that project, huh? Sounds great,
37:18but how about we go take a break and unwind a bit? You know, we've all had a long day.
37:22That actually
37:23sounds really nice. I could definitely use a break. Yeah, you said food, so I'm in. It's been a long
37:29day and I could use some downtime. Howdy. It's nice to see y'all relaxing. So, where are we going
37:36to go
37:36get something to eat? How about some tacos on the company cart? Oh, okay. All right. You ain't got to
37:42tell me
37:43twice. Taco is lit.
37:56Listen up everyone. We've got some great news to share. I want to congratulate all of you because
38:01the CEO was very impressed with what we delivered. We pulled off something incredible in the span of a
38:07month and it did not go unnoticed. To reward you for all your hard work, the CEO has authorized me
38:13to give
38:14you all bonuses. But before I finish, I want to take a moment to thank someone who's made a huge
38:20difference around here. Someone who has won all of your hearts and who's won mine most of all. Alyssa,
38:29could you come up here? All right.
38:40Alyssa, there's something I need to say to you. Over the last month, you've shown me you're not just my
38:45colleague. Your kindness, strength, and ability to bring light to my darkest days. And I've had a
38:53lot of those lately. But I've realized I love you. And I don't think I can spend the rest of
39:02my life
39:02without you. Will you marry me? Oh my gosh! Yes, I'll marry you, Michael! Oh my god! I'll marry you!
39:14We're engaged!
