00:00:17Later on in the night
00:00:22Hey, you're late
00:00:25Mr. Powell, what are you doing here?
00:00:27You don't seem too thrilled to see me on your birthday
00:00:31Of course I am, but this is what you're supposed to be on a business trip
00:00:34Since when have I ever missed your birthday?
00:00:36Not a single one since you were 18
00:00:39Wow, Madeline!
00:00:40Your sugar daddy spores you rotten
00:00:42That time must be worth a fortune
00:00:44Stop it, Juliana, he's not my sugar daddy
00:00:46Nick is just looking after me like he promised my father before he passed away
00:00:53Thank you for always being so kind to me
00:00:56Nicholas treats you way better than Michael
00:00:58I mean, he didn't even get you a birthday present
00:01:00He didn't even say happy birthday
00:01:02You should dump him already
00:01:03Stop it, Juliana
00:01:04I've already said yes to Michael's proposal
00:01:07Can you stop putting him down?
00:01:10She's still inside waiting for you to cut the cake
00:01:12Yet you dare to come to me first
00:01:14Aren't you afraid of being found out?
00:01:16What are you afraid of?
00:01:17She's too stupid to figure it out
00:01:19I can't wait anymore
00:01:20You have to stay with me tonight
00:01:32You said yes to Michael's proposal?
00:01:36Yes
00:01:36Do you think it too soon?
00:01:39Um...
00:01:40A proposal without a ring
00:01:41It didn't seem serious to me
00:01:43Besides, didn't your dad arrange a marriage for you before he died?
00:01:47Aren't you gonna go through with it?
00:01:48No, there's no way
00:01:50I've never even met the guy
00:01:52I have no idea of who he is
00:01:55What if that guy is me?
00:02:02Wait, Nick
00:02:03You and my father were tight, right?
00:02:05You must know who he was
00:02:06Yeah
00:02:08I do
00:02:08Great
00:02:09Then help me call it off
00:02:13Are you sure about that?
00:02:14Yes
00:02:15Michael's the only one I want to marry
00:02:20If you're happy, I'm happy
00:02:23Great
00:02:23I'm gonna call
00:02:34Oh, babe
00:02:37That sounds like...
00:02:39Michael?
00:02:58I wish you would just make up your mind and dump her already
00:03:01Can't you see?
00:03:03I am the one that you want
00:03:04I thought we were just having fun
00:03:07Aren't we?
00:03:09Michael, let it burn
00:03:10You proposed to me yesterday
00:03:12And today you're here with someone else
00:03:25Boss
00:03:26Did you tell Madeline about her dad's wishes?
00:03:30She's not married
00:03:31But you've been hanging on to Madeline all this time
00:03:34Why don't you just tell her how you feel?
00:03:37Well, she's getting married
00:03:38But to someone else
00:03:42Look
00:03:43If the guy truly cares for her
00:03:46I'll let them be
00:03:49How could you betray me?
00:03:56Madeline?
00:03:56How could you betray me?
00:03:58Betray you?
00:03:58We've been seeing each other for three months
00:04:00And you don't even let me touch you
00:04:02I thought that the proposal would change things
00:04:04But then you say we have to wait until after marriage
00:04:07Come on
00:04:08You can't blame Michael
00:04:09He's been holding back for ages
00:04:12Otherwise he wouldn't have found fun outside of the relationship
00:04:29Stop pretending, Madeline
00:04:31You've been seeing your godfather on the sly, haven't you?
00:04:34That's why you wouldn't let me touch you
00:04:46If you mess with Madeline again
00:04:48Next time
00:04:49Won't be so pretty
00:05:05Madeline?
00:05:06You just vanished after the call
00:05:10Julianna
00:05:20He and her both
00:05:22Just telling you to sleep with me
00:05:25I thought he was the one
00:05:29Stop crying
00:05:30Michael's a jerk
00:05:31And he already has someone new
00:05:33Why waste tears on him?
00:05:35Never hide
00:05:39Michael's a scumbag
00:05:41I'm not worth my tears
00:05:43He even said I slept with Nicholas
00:05:49I'll find someone
00:05:51Who follows me
00:05:58Look, head home
00:06:00I'll take care of Madeline
00:06:01Okay
00:06:06Michael dumped me
00:06:07Okay, just forget about him
00:06:09Alright
00:06:09You got me here
00:06:10I'm not going anywhere
00:06:23I need magic
00:06:25You are wasted
00:06:27Let's go home
00:06:27No
00:06:28No, I need a man
00:06:30Stop it
00:06:42Take her home
00:06:43Oak Street
00:06:44No
00:06:44My home is the last place I want to go
00:06:49Okay
00:06:54My place first
00:06:56Okay, boss
00:07:09How about you give me another birthday surprise
00:07:20What are you doing?
00:07:27I'm not drunk
00:07:29Look at me
00:07:30I am not Michael
00:07:32I know you're Nicholas
00:07:34Stop it
00:07:35You are drunk
00:07:36You're boring
00:07:41Hey
00:07:44What you doing in your bed
00:07:47I'm really feeling your sweat
00:07:51You got me twisted like that
00:07:57Now
00:08:00I'm smoking on your bike
00:08:05Got me straight, hitting my heart
00:08:08But got me flying so high
00:08:13You're so sweet
00:08:16To me
00:08:34Nick, my godfather?
00:08:36I can't believe I slept with him
00:08:39I've got to leave before he wakes up
00:08:41Or this will be super awkward
00:08:53I know you're actually going to plan to break ROSE
00:08:55Or this will be a rock
00:08:55As soon as you ludzi
00:08:56Tell me
00:08:56Do me
00:08:57Dorota
00:08:57Ppad
00:08:57Love you
00:08:57What's up?
00:08:59What's up, Jason?
00:09:01Hooray
00:09:11Hooray
00:09:12And
00:09:12I'll never know you
00:09:38Today's gonna be the day I ask her.
00:09:51Where'd you disappear to last night?
00:09:55I got too drunk and stayed at a friend's house.
00:10:00What's that?
00:10:02It's a mosquito bite.
00:10:05I don't think so, young lady.
00:10:08Did you go on a date with your boyfriend last night?
00:10:11No.
00:10:13I really don't think Michael's the right choice for you.
00:10:17We broke up.
00:10:21You know what?
00:10:23Maybe this is the perfect time.
00:10:26Remember your father set you up with someone?
00:10:28But I thought that was off.
00:10:30I've never even met the guy.
00:10:32I can't get married.
00:10:32That's crazy.
00:10:33You said it was off.
00:10:35He's been waiting for you.
00:10:37Don't worry.
00:10:38You know him.
00:10:39Trust me.
00:10:40You won't regret it.
00:10:41But you're not the one getting married.
00:10:43How can you make such promises?
00:10:45No more excuses.
00:10:46He's on his way.
00:10:47So get yourself together.
00:10:50But...
00:10:51He's here.
00:10:52Get the door.
00:10:58There is no way I'm marrying someone I've never met before.
00:11:08Mr. Poe.
00:11:10What are you doing?
00:11:16I'm not getting married to another...
00:11:17Are you my fiance?
00:11:20You knew?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22I certainly did not.
00:11:24Well...
00:11:26Do you let me in?
00:11:39Are you going to chat with Nicholas, honey?
00:11:44What's wrong, sweetie?
00:11:45You were smitten with him when you met him at your 18th birthday.
00:11:49I thought it was love at first sight.
00:11:52Mom, I thought he was just Dad's friend then.
00:11:56I didn't... I didn't know he was my fiancé.
00:12:01Well, now you do.
00:12:05What? You don't like him?
00:12:10It's not that I don't like him. I just...
00:12:16We'll get to know him better.
00:12:25Well, I'll leave you to it and get back to my room.
00:12:32Hey.
00:12:34Look at him. What's wrong?
00:12:37I just...
00:12:38I didn't expect you to be my fiancé.
00:12:43You didn't seem too bothered by that last night when you were pushing me out of the bed.
00:12:48Stop it. My mom doesn't know anything about that.
00:12:51If she finds out I was out with you all today...
00:12:52She's trying to get us hitched.
00:12:54She's a horrible problem with that.
00:12:58I just...
00:12:59Why didn't you tell me about the engagement?
00:13:07I'm 13 years older than you, Mel.
00:13:10I assumed that you might have better options.
00:13:13And you just broke up with Michael yesterday.
00:13:15I thought it might be too much too soon.
00:13:18But maybe we could give it a try.
00:13:34Does the age gap bother you?
00:13:38I'll get it.
00:13:44Michael, what are you doing here?
00:13:49Natalie, look. I know. I messed up. I'm sorry.
00:13:52Give me another chance.
00:13:53What? No, I want you out of my life.
00:13:56But last night, that woman, she came on to me.
00:13:58I was racist. I thought she was you.
00:14:01Michael, I'm not stupid.
00:14:02Don't blame me for a fool.
00:14:04I knew you were cheating on me.
00:14:05Stop lying.
00:14:07You're such a jerk.
00:14:10We have a booking with the caterer.
00:14:12Let's go.
00:14:15How dare you get lost?
00:14:18You kicked me?
00:14:23You stay away from Madeline.
00:14:25What did you not learn from last time?
00:14:26She is my fiancée.
00:14:28What business do you have interfering?
00:14:30Ex-fiancée.
00:14:32He's my fiancée now.
00:14:38Oh, come on, Madeline.
00:14:40Stop pretending.
00:14:41When's this whole wedding thing gonna happen, huh?
00:14:43We're getting married today.
00:14:45Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:14:47It's not gonna matter.
00:14:48I mean it.
00:14:51How much did she pay you?
00:14:52I'll double it.
00:14:53You can't afford me.
00:14:55Really?
00:14:56You're gonna dump me for him?
00:14:58Are you dumb?
00:15:09Stop it!
00:15:11What is your problem?
00:15:12You called me a cheater!
00:15:14You must have been seeing him the whole damn time.
00:15:17Back off, Michael.
00:15:18You got five seconds to get out of here or I'm calling.
00:15:21Fine.
00:15:22Plenty of other women to have fun with out there anyway.
00:15:29I'm sorry.
00:15:30I shouldn't have kissed you without a...
00:15:32No worries.
00:15:36So, Madeline, about the marriage thing.
00:15:39You sure about it?
00:15:40This is no turning back.
00:15:45This is no turning back.
00:15:48What do you mean?
00:15:49Well, if I'm gonna get married, I'm only gonna do what mine is.
00:15:53So I want you to think it over.
00:15:55Don't rush in.
00:15:56No, let's do it.
00:15:57Let's get married.

00:16:00It was my dad's wish anyway, and I trust his judgment, and I know you're gonna take care of me.
00:16:06I want this.
00:16:07The sound of heartbeats.
00:16:10This is your choice.
00:16:13No turn back.

00:30:59Mr. Pau, I found these great work outfits for your wife, I mean, whoa, uh, sorry, um, uh,
00:31:08uh, sorry, hon.
00:31:09I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.
00:31:11Relax.
00:31:16I'll drive you to the office room.
00:31:21Nicholas is so sweet, I'm finding it hard not to fall for him.
00:31:30Here, let me out here.
00:31:32Why, we're almost there.
00:31:36Wait a minute, is that Mr. Pau's car?
00:31:38I just, I don't want anyone to see us together.
00:31:40I'm the office new girl, and I want to keep a low profile.
00:31:44Catch her tonight.
00:31:52No way.
00:31:54He's dropping Mrs. Pau off at work.
00:32:02And I said, we have to have our samples at the start of the month.
00:32:05We can't have them at the end of the month.
00:32:06No.
00:32:07Hi, I'm Mr. Pau, look good morning.
00:32:12You're rocking that dress too.
00:32:13What's the hell with it?
00:32:15Is she Mr. Pau's wife?
00:32:20Watch it.
00:32:26You?
00:32:27What are you doing here?
00:32:29You took the words right out of my mouth.
00:32:31I'm the designer that Mr. Fowler brought in personally.
00:32:34And you?
00:32:35How did you even get into the Pau group?
00:32:37I knocked that interview out of the park, and I...
00:32:39Please.
00:32:41Tricks?
00:32:42Maybe.
00:32:43And you're copying my style.
00:32:46This is a designer piece.
00:32:48Super limited.
00:32:49My partner scored it for me at a high-end boutique.
00:32:52There is no way you could afford it.
00:32:55Is Michael that generous?
00:33:00I just hope she doesn't realize my clothes went through at once.
00:33:09So I wasn't mistaken.
00:33:11Kaylee is Mr. Pau's wife.
00:33:15Kaylee Pittman?
00:33:16Meet Madeline Warren, our new recruit.
00:33:18Do you two know each other?
00:33:20No.
00:33:21Not at all.
00:33:23Mr. Fowler, maybe you should rethink your standards a little.
00:33:26How can a fashion designer wear such obvious knockoffs?
00:33:30What? Knockoffs?
00:33:31Madeline, I am aware that you just graduated and perhaps a bit strapped for cash.
00:33:36I will overlook it this time, but won't let it slide again.
00:33:40But I...
00:33:43Stella, can you show our new teammates where to get settled?
00:33:48I'm Stella Thomas, one of the senior designers.
00:33:51Don't hesitate to ask me anything.
00:33:53Hi.
00:33:54Can you show me to my desk?
00:33:58It's over there.
00:34:02Let me show you to your desk.
00:34:04After you.
00:34:05Oh, you're incredibly gracious, Mrs. Pau.
00:34:11Wait.
00:34:13What?
00:34:13I heard Mr. Pau tied the knot and brought his wife to the design team.
00:34:17That's you, right?
00:34:18Yep.
00:34:18Mr. Pau is set to say really good care of you.
00:34:20You're married to Mr. Pau and still so driven, that's...
00:34:24So they think I'm Nicholas Pau's wife.
00:34:27Perfect.
00:34:28With Michael gone, I'll need someone to be my support.
00:34:32Look, I'd rather just keep things low-key around here.
00:34:35So call me Kaylee, not Mrs. Pau.
00:34:39Of course.
00:34:40Yeah.
00:34:40Sure thing.
00:34:41There's a fantastic restaurant downstairs.
00:34:44Perfect.
00:34:44Let's do lunch together.
00:34:46Let's do it.
00:34:46Let's go.
00:35:08I'm starving.
00:35:11Then you should grab a button.
00:35:14What are you doing here?
00:35:16Brought you some lunch.
00:35:18Why is this such a mess?
00:35:20Are you not getting any support from your team?
00:35:22No, it's fine.
00:35:23Their corner's quiet.
00:35:24I like it.
00:35:25Seriously?
00:35:27Yes.
00:35:30But you should get out.
00:35:31Someone might see him.
00:35:35Mr. Pau.
00:35:37What are you doing here?
00:35:41Mr. Pau.
00:35:43What are you doing here?
00:35:45I'll just bring in my wife some lunch.
00:35:48Well, Mr. Pau really loves his wife.
00:35:53The bonus.
00:35:54I'll get him next time.
00:36:08You need to finish these off before the end of the day.
00:36:12Kaylee, this is your work.
00:36:15Do it yourself.
00:36:19Madeline, you're new.
00:36:20You need to show that you can handle more around here.
00:36:23If I do all of her work, what's left for her to do?
00:36:27I have a... appointment.
00:36:30I need to leave her.
00:36:32Yeah, right.
00:36:33Of course.
00:36:34We can't let you miss that.
00:36:37Seriously, Kaylee?
00:36:38Dumping all this work on me so you can go on a date with Michael?
00:36:43Michael?
00:36:43The HR guy that just got fired?
00:36:46What's going on between you two?
00:36:50What's going on between you two?
00:36:52Michael got fired?
00:36:54And lied to me about quitting.
00:36:57I don't know him.
00:36:58But Madeline does.
00:37:00That used to be a thing.
00:37:02We broke up.
00:37:04Ages ago, my husband is Nick.
00:37:06Keep calm, girl.
00:37:07Don't expose your relationship with Nicholas because of me.
00:37:10Nick who?
00:37:12Oh, don't tell me Nicholas is your husband.
00:37:15Oh, Madeline, you think we don't know?
00:37:17Mr. Powell's wife is right here.
00:37:19Wait, they already know?
00:37:21Enough.
00:37:23Don't waste your breath on her.
00:37:27I want these done by tomorrow morning.
00:37:33Fine.
00:37:34Let them challenge me.
00:37:36I'll make it an opportunity to grow.
00:37:48Poor Madeline.
00:37:51I'll return Michael to you.
00:37:53No need to thank me.
00:37:59Hey, I'm sorry.
00:38:01I've got a few things to wrap up here.
00:38:03You go on without me.
00:38:04What's going on?
00:38:07It's nothing.
00:38:07I think it's, uh, just settling into a new job.
00:38:11It's a lot to take in at first.
00:38:14All right.
00:38:15I'll wait for you at home.
00:38:38Why isn't she home yet?
00:38:41Why doesn't she answer your calls?
00:38:43I'll wait for you at home.
00:38:50Riley, go home.
00:38:56Michael, what are you doing here?
00:39:00Madeline, I can't get you out of my mind.
00:39:03Weren't you fired?
00:39:04How did you get in here?
00:39:05Oh, drop the tough act.
00:39:07Kaylee said you still like me.
00:39:09What nonsense are you talking about?
00:39:11You got it.
00:39:12Don't step back.
00:39:13I'm calling security.
00:39:15Oh, it's late.
00:39:16It's just us.
00:39:20You remember Nicholas's wife, right?
00:39:22He's the CEO.
00:39:24Oh, I know him.
00:39:27Madeline, let's be real.
00:39:29Nicholas may be rich, but he's old.
00:39:31He can't give you what you really want.
00:39:33I could be your little secret if you let me just one night.
00:39:38And I promise you'll never go back.
00:39:48What is Michael doing here?
00:39:50Madeline can't get over him, but bringing him to the office.
00:39:58How dare you?
00:39:59I will never get back with you.
00:40:02Seriously, how many women have you used besides Kaylee?
00:40:05You're repulsive.
00:40:06You crazy bitch.
00:40:08You kicked me again?
00:40:10Honestly, walking in on you is the best decision I ever made.
00:40:13Madeline, you can't run away.
00:40:17Nick, you can't walk away from me.
00:40:23Wake up.
00:40:24Nick, why are you here?
00:40:26Usually you'd be home by now, so I came looking for you.
00:40:30I warned you, Michael.
00:40:31Do you have a death wish?
00:40:32No.
00:40:33It's not like that.
00:40:35She called me.
00:40:37She said she missed me and wanted me to be a lover.
00:40:40That's absurd.
00:40:42Nick has morals, financially stable, and handsome.
00:40:47Madeline, I'm younger.
00:40:48I've got more stamina, and at least I can get it up.
00:40:53You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:40:56Enough.
00:40:57Save it for the cops.
00:40:59No.
00:41:00No.
00:41:01No!
00:41:01Stop right there!
00:41:02Let him go.
00:41:04He won't get far.
00:41:11I feel like I'm always causing you trouble.
00:41:15Michael's the problem.
00:41:17Not you.
00:41:18Thank you for coming.
00:41:23Thank you for coming.
00:41:25I'm really glad you're here.
00:41:27You can count on me.
00:41:30I'm younger.
00:41:31I've got more stamina.
00:41:33And at least I can get it up.
00:41:38You look wiped out.
00:41:40Let's get you home.
00:41:41Okay.
00:41:50You're so young.
00:41:52Full of dreams.
00:41:55Am I really the man for you, or am I just holding you back?
00:42:12You'll need to polish these up, too.
00:42:14Seriously, Kaylee?
00:42:16They spent all night on these designs.
00:42:19That's it?
00:42:20Nothing else happened?
00:42:22What are you talking about?
00:42:24Oh, come on.
00:42:25Don't play coy.
00:42:27I know Michael came by.
00:42:28You two back on?
00:42:30Never.
00:42:31What?
00:42:32How did you even know he was here?
00:42:35Did you call him?
00:42:40Did you call him?
00:42:45Kaylee, are you out of your mind?
00:42:47You knew I was working late, and yet you still called Michael to come over in the middle of the
00:42:51night.
00:42:52Are you insane?
00:42:53What were you trying to do?
00:42:55I was just trying to help you two patch things up.
00:42:58How can you be so ungrateful?
00:43:01I'm telling Mr. Fowler this.
00:43:04You think Mr. Fowler is going to take your side over mine?
00:43:09Mr. Fowler wants you to finish these.
00:43:11It's like yesterday already.
00:43:26Where is she?
00:43:41Are the newcomers really that busy?
00:43:43Or is she dodging me?
00:43:51Mr. Fowler.
00:43:52Is everything okay between you and your wife?
00:43:56She seems to be leaving early and coming back home late a lot.
00:44:01No, we're not fighting.
00:44:02It's complicated.
00:44:05What's going on?
00:44:08I just don't think we're a good match.
00:44:10You know?
00:44:12I try to keep my distance since the wedding, and she's so young.
00:44:17What if she regrets marrying me one day?
00:44:20Mr. Fowler.
00:44:22You're overthinking all of this.
00:44:24You and your wife just need to talk it out.
00:44:29Seriously.
00:44:33Well, tomorrow I could go to the design department.
00:44:36Perfect chance to speak with her.
00:44:50Here's the latest batch.
00:44:52Finish them quickly.
00:44:54Hey.
00:44:55Hey, guys.
00:44:56Mr. Fowler is swinging by soon for an inspection.
00:45:01Mr. Fowler never comes and checks at our department.
00:45:03He is definitely here for you.
00:45:05Do you think so?
00:45:07I've got to dodge this, or my secret's toast.
00:45:11I'll be right back.
00:45:13I've just got a thing to handle.
00:45:14What's more important than seeing Mr. Powell?
00:45:16You have to hype me up to him later.
00:45:19Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:45:20Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:45:22My name is Mr. Powell.
00:45:27So this is Nicholas Powell.
00:45:29Wow.
00:45:30He's a real stud.
00:45:32Mr. Powell, your wife is right here.
00:45:37What are you thinking?
00:45:38What are you thinking?
00:45:42Madeline.
00:45:46Madeline.
00:45:48Madeline?
00:45:51Are you okay?
00:45:54I'm just putting my guitar.
00:45:56Yeah, I got it.
00:46:05Why did Mr. Powell ignore you and carry Madeline off?
00:46:11Well, she fainted.
00:46:13We've got to make sure she's okay.
00:46:16If something goes wrong here at the Powell Group,
00:46:18we could all get the blame for it.
00:46:20That's very true.
00:46:21Mr. Powell's got a good head on his shoulders.
00:46:23Or maybe Madeline's playing a game
00:46:25and trying to get close to Mr. Powell.
00:46:27Stop gossiping.
00:46:28Let's not assume or jump to conclusions.
00:46:31Come on.
00:46:32She's just a newbie.
00:46:33She can't be that worn out.
00:46:37Honestly,
00:46:39my marriage is a wreck right now.
00:46:43Madeline is the other woman.
00:46:49What?
00:46:50Are you saying Madeline's been seducing Mr. Powell
00:46:52this entire time?
00:46:55No wonder Madeline wore the same outfit
00:46:57as Kaylee had been.
00:46:58She totally planned it.
00:47:01Madeline gets back.
00:47:02She's out.
00:47:03She's a shameless homewrecker.
00:47:04I can't stand being in the same department
00:47:06with someone like her.
00:47:08You all shouldn't get involved.
00:47:11I mean,
00:47:11he may have brought her into the company.
00:47:14If this blows up,
00:47:16he could divorce me on the spot.
00:47:20You might all get dragged into this too.
00:47:23So,
00:47:24it's best to act like you don't know anything.
00:47:26Karma is bound to catch up
00:47:28with someone like Madeline,
00:47:29the homewrecker.
00:47:30While Mr. Powell gets to his senses,
00:47:32he'll leave her.
00:47:33Thanks for having my back.
00:47:46She's just overworked and exhausted.
00:47:48A bit of rest and she'll be fine, okay?
00:47:50Goodbye.
00:47:54Don't go.
00:48:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:48:04I'll be right here next to you.
00:48:07You scared me when you fainted.
00:48:11You've been working long hours at the offices.
00:48:14Is there someone in the design department
00:48:16that's bothering you?
00:48:20Is there someone in the design department
00:48:21that's bothering you?
00:48:23No.
00:48:26You need to be honest with me.
00:48:27You can't fool me.
00:48:29A newbie in the design department
00:48:31doesn't work these hours.
00:48:32It's not normal for you to be working this hard.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:37Someone is making things a bit overwhelming for me.
00:48:41I want to sort it out myself.
00:48:43But you've just passed out.
00:48:45If you keep this up, it's...
00:48:46I won't. I swear.
00:48:49If you say so.
00:48:51But if you can't handle it,
00:48:53you need to tell me.
00:48:54I will.
00:48:55I promise.
00:48:57Please open up to me.
00:49:03Now, you take the bedroom tonight.
00:49:05I'll rest in the guest house.
00:49:07We're married.
00:49:09We've shared the bed before.
00:49:10What's the problem?
00:49:12You need your rest.
00:49:14You need to focus on yourself.
00:49:29Do I know what he wants anymore?
00:49:33Do you have your second thoughts about marrying me?
00:49:40I'll rest in the guest house.
00:49:40Wait, what?
00:49:41Nicholas hasn't touched you since the wedding.
00:49:44Yeah.
00:49:45He's still nice to me.
00:49:47Something's different now.
00:49:48I don't know.
00:49:49He...
00:49:50It feels like he might regret marrying me.
00:49:52Like...
00:49:53He's not into me anymore.
00:49:55Don't sweat it.
00:49:56You can turn this around.
00:49:58But first you gotta tell me.
00:49:59Do you actually like Nicholas?
00:50:02Nicholas?
00:50:03Yeah.
00:50:04He's...
00:50:05He's so nice and supportive and...
00:50:07He's always there for me.
00:50:09I...
00:50:10I can't picture my life without him.
00:50:13I'm totally falling for him.
00:50:15If you're into him, it's easy.
00:50:17I'll give you tips to make Nicholas head over those for you.
00:50:21Seriously?
00:50:22How?
00:50:40Thanks.
00:50:49Did it burn you?
00:50:51Ouch.
00:50:53It really hurts.
00:50:54Okay, I'll go get some women.
00:50:57No need for that.
00:50:59I'll be fine.
00:51:01I promise.
00:51:02I'll still go get some women.
00:51:04I don't want you to scar.
00:51:17Are you sure this is what you want?
00:51:19Don't start with that.
00:51:33Morning.
00:51:34Still tired?
00:51:37Crap.
00:51:38I'm gonna be late.
00:51:45I gotta go.
00:51:54Give me an update on the design department.
00:51:56I want to know who's messing with my wife.
00:52:21Listen up, everyone.
00:52:23I got news.
00:52:23Next quarter's design exhibition has been bumped up.
00:52:27We need theme collections.
00:52:29And there's a $10,000 bonus to the winner.
00:52:34No way!
00:52:37Seriously?
00:52:38Shouldn't we have some standards?
00:52:40We shouldn't have to compete with some people.
00:52:49Who are you referring to?
00:52:51If you've got a problem, say it straight to my face.
00:52:54Fine.
00:52:56A mistress like you doesn't belong in the same exhibition as us.
00:53:01Mistress?
00:53:02Me?
00:53:03What?
00:53:04You're not?
00:53:05You better explain yourself.
00:53:08Why are you calling me that?
00:53:09Madeline, enough!
00:53:10You're green.
00:53:12Fresh out of school.
00:53:13It's better if you sit this one out, just in case your designs get laughed at.
00:53:18Laughed at?
00:53:19The only one getting laughed at is you.
00:53:21My designs are the first to be picked.
00:53:24And you, Kaylee?
00:53:25You haven't even finished a single piece, have you?
00:53:29You!
00:53:30I'm going to that exhibition.
00:53:32And don't even think about sabotaging me or my work.
00:53:44You've got more patience than I do.
00:53:45If that were me, I would have slapped her right there and then.
00:53:49Don't worry.
00:53:50She'll regret it soon enough.
00:54:17What's wrong?
00:54:19That's it.
00:54:20The design exhibition is too.
00:54:22I'm freaking out a little.
00:54:24Relax.
00:54:26You got this.
00:54:44Each designer will present their concept.
00:54:46The judges, including myself, will give scores and feedback.
00:54:51Relax.
00:54:52You've got this.
00:54:53Let's bring up our first designer, Kaylee Pittman.
00:55:10Good afternoon, judges.
00:55:13My design is inspired by the simplicity of daisies.
00:55:19Wait.
00:55:22Those are my designs.
00:55:30Daisy, I hope that whoever wears this feels the beauty of life.
00:55:37I hope that whoever wears this feels the beauty of life.
00:55:51Oh, I'm leaning towards a perfect score.
00:55:56Oh, I'm leaning towards a perfect score.
00:56:00Could you tell us what your inspiration was?
00:56:02Of course.
00:56:03The idea came from my late grandmother.
00:56:07Daisies were her favorite.
00:56:08And, um, uh, her last wish was to wear something designed by me.
00:56:15She's lying.
00:56:17She's lying.
00:56:18These aren't her designs.
00:56:20These are mine.
00:56:21Kaylee stole them.
00:56:22Madeline, your behavior is unacceptable.
00:56:25You're cut from the exhibition.
00:56:27What?
00:56:28Why am I disqualified?
00:56:29Your designs are exactly like Kaylee's.
00:56:31But she straight up copied me.
00:56:33That's enough.
00:56:34Kaylee managed to submit her work before yours.
00:56:37How on earth could she have copied your work?
00:56:45Kaylee managed to submit her work before yours.
00:56:48How on earth could she have copied your work?
00:56:52Can you believe her?
00:56:53She has the nerve to steal Kaylee's design and then slander her like that.
00:56:58Kaylee needs my help to finish her sketch.
00:57:01How on earth could I plagiarize her?
00:57:03She's lying through her teeth.
00:57:05All these sketches are mine.
00:57:07I have no clue when Kaylee stole them.
00:57:09But she's the real thief here.
00:57:10Madeline, this is no time for drama.
00:57:14Just leave.
00:57:15No, I'm not going anywhere.
00:57:17Everything I've said is the truth.
00:57:19The one who needs to go isn't me.
00:57:21Enough.
00:57:25Madeline, how can a newbie like you whip up something this good?
00:57:29The daisy?
00:57:31That's not even a design concept.
00:57:32That's just my personal signature.
00:57:35It's on all of my sketches.
00:57:37And I can prove it.
00:57:44Alright, let's see what you got.
00:57:46Absolutely.
00:57:56Kaylee, have you lost your mind?
00:57:58Your designs deserve none of our time.
00:58:00You must have stolen my ideas all along.
00:58:03Then why trash my sketches?
00:58:05Scared everyone will see the truth?
00:58:06I just don't want to waste time listening to your lies.
00:58:10Mr. Fowler, Madeline has been out for me for way too long.
00:58:14She needs to go.
00:58:16You're right.
00:58:17She's a disgrace to this company.
00:58:19Madeline, you're fired.
00:58:20Not until we sort this out.
00:58:22I want to see the security footage.
00:58:24Don't even waste your time on her.
00:58:26She's disturbing our drama like always.
00:58:28Mr. Fowler, call security.
00:58:31No need for security.
00:58:32I'll handle this.
00:58:36Don't you dare.
00:58:42Don't you dare.
00:58:45Mr. Fowler, what are you doing here?
00:58:47Oh no.
00:58:49This is a total nightmare.
00:58:51Why is Nicholas here?
00:58:53Terry, how dare you treat Madeline like that?
00:58:56Are you trying to get yourself fired?
00:58:57Mr. Fowler, Madeline's got to go.
00:58:58She has no moral compass.
00:59:00Not only did she plagiarize, but also she...
00:59:04Also what?
00:59:05Just plagiarism is enough to let her know.
00:59:09Exactly, Mr. Powell.
00:59:10It's company policy.
00:59:11No exceptions for Madeline.
00:59:13And it's not fair to the rest of us.
00:59:15Especially Kaylee.
00:59:17Kaylee's the one who plagiarized.
00:59:19Not me.
00:59:20Have you gotten proof?
00:59:21I had proof.
00:59:22Kaylee worked it out.
00:59:24Let's get the surveillance from the design department.
00:59:27Right away, Mr. Powell.
00:59:31Mr. Powell, the video surveillance has suspiciously been wiped off.
00:59:39Lucky for me, I took care of those cameras beforehand.
00:59:43It would have been a real mess otherwise.
00:59:47Look, I get it, okay?
00:59:50You like Madeline, but you can't defend her without evidence.
00:59:55Mr. Powell, Kaylee has brilliant skills.
00:59:58There's no denying that.
00:59:59What's that got to do with me?
01:00:01Mr. Powell, you have been quite harsh on her.
01:00:03This is my fight.
01:00:04Why are you dragging him in?
01:00:06Because you need to own up.
01:00:08Just admit that you plagiarized.
01:00:11Well, maybe we should do some live designing together.
01:00:14A quick comparison with the design will make things clear.
01:00:18That's way too complicated.
01:00:21Go grab some paper and pens, will you?
01:00:28All right.
01:00:29Let's go with the theme of daisies.
01:00:32Create a design draft on the spot.
01:00:34Let's go with the theme of daisies.
01:01:03Kaylee, what in the world is that?
01:01:06Well, that's obvious.
01:01:07Kaylee can't even sketch a decent design.
01:01:10She's the real plagiarist here.
01:01:14I messed up!
01:01:15Mr. Powell, Kaylee messed up by copying,
01:01:19but maybe she only did it before she was
01:01:21upset about your secret affair with Madeline.
01:01:24Terry, that is ridiculous.
01:01:26You told me to look after what?
01:01:27What happened to that?
01:01:28How dare you bring that up?
01:01:30Did you even take care of her?
01:01:33Well, I'm right here, supporting her.
01:01:38Wait.
01:01:39You think Nicholas' wife is Kaylee?
01:01:47Yeah, isn't she?
01:01:49Hi, I'm Nicholas' Matt Madeline.
01:01:53You're too young to be in this mess.
01:01:54Why would you choose to wreck their marriage?
01:01:57Excuse me?
01:01:59Who said that Madeline was my mistress?
01:02:03I haven't even met who this woman is.
01:02:06What the hell?
01:02:07You had us all believe you were Mr. Powell's wife.
01:02:11You were the one that mistook me for her.
01:02:13It's not my fault you're clueless.
01:02:16And you let us all believe that.
01:02:18You knew we were wrong and you didn't say anything.
01:02:20How could you?
01:02:21Please.
01:02:22You were piling on Madeline too.
01:02:24Don't act all high and mighty with me.
01:02:27Enough.
01:02:28I'm done with both of you.
01:02:30You're both fired.
01:02:31Pack your things and get out.
01:02:33No!
01:02:36Mr. Powell, I nearly threw Madeline underneath the bus.
01:02:40Forgive me.
01:02:42I'm really sorry.
01:02:43Apologize to my wife.
01:02:45Not me.
01:02:50Mrs. Powell, I'm truly sorry.
01:02:52Can you please forgive me?
01:02:54Yeah, we're really sorry, Mrs. Powell.
01:02:56We messed up big time.
01:02:57Mrs. Powell, we screwed up.
01:02:58We won't happen again.
01:03:08What's wrong?
01:03:09You don't look so good.
01:03:10I just got a bit worked up.
01:03:12I'm just tired.
01:03:13Well, I'll take you home.
01:03:14No.
01:03:15I'll be fine.
01:03:16Just give me a minute.
01:03:17We have to go.
01:03:25Well, Mrs. Powell, looks like you're expecting.
01:03:32Wow, really?
01:03:33A little over a month now.
01:03:35It's time to take it easy, rest up, and watch what you're eating, okay?
01:03:39Okay, I can do that.
01:03:41Mr. Powell, please take her in for another proper check-up soon, okay?
01:03:44Of course.
01:03:45Thank you, doctor.
01:03:50Mick.
01:03:51We're having a baby.
01:03:57You don't seem happy.
01:04:01You don't seem happy.
01:04:05No, I'm happy.
01:04:08Okay, great.
01:04:09Let's go to the hospital later and we'll get everything checked out.
01:04:12Yeah, sure.
01:04:13I'll go get that arranged.
01:04:28Hey, Juliana, I'm going to be a mom.
01:04:30You're pregnant.
01:04:32Congrats.
01:04:34Congrats.
01:04:35And, of course, you're going to be my baby's cuddle.
01:04:38Obviously.
01:04:39Speaking of which, how's Nicholas handling this?
01:04:42I mean, the future Powell, Aaron, all.
01:04:45I don't know.
01:04:46He doesn't seem happy.
01:04:48No.
01:04:50He's just processing it.
01:04:51It's a lot.
01:04:52Don't stress.
01:04:54He wants to get rid of our baby.
01:04:55I'll talk to you later.
01:04:56Bye.
01:04:59Terminating your birth.
01:05:00Yeah, almost two months ago.
01:05:03He wants to get rid of our baby.
01:05:09Yeah, almost two months ago.
01:05:17Yeah, she passed out a few days ago, but is it too dangerous for her to have the child now?
01:05:23I understand your concern, but with our care, she'll be fine.
01:05:26Don't stress.
01:05:30That's good, dear.
01:05:44This is a nightmare.
01:05:46He doesn't seem to be a baby.
01:05:48He never wanted me.
01:05:51Madeline?
01:05:57If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess.
01:06:00You owe me.
01:06:02Kaylee, what the hell is this?
01:06:06You're really that desperate?
01:06:08Desperate?
01:06:08This is all your fault.
01:06:10You've ruined me.
01:06:11I lost my job at Powell.
01:06:13I've been blacklisted everywhere, and I am drowning in debt because of you.
01:06:17Kaylee, listen.
01:06:19We can talk this out.
01:06:21I can help you.
01:06:21You think you're better than me.
01:06:24I took your boyfriend, and you still ended up with everything.
01:06:27Mr. Powell, perfect, rich life.
01:06:29Well, I have nothing.
01:06:32If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.
01:06:35Stop.
01:06:38Now, are you hurt?
01:06:41Talk to me.
01:06:49She's just in shock.
01:06:50She'll wake up soon, and the baby will be perfectly fine.
01:06:54Thank you, doctor.
01:07:13And finally, you're awake.
01:07:17Madeline, what were you thinking?
01:07:19Why did you go out alone?
01:07:23Do you have any idea of how risky that is?
01:07:26If not for me, but for the baby.
01:07:28Stop pretending you care.
01:07:30You don't actually want this child.
01:07:32You want me to get rid of it.
01:07:34That is not true.
01:07:36I'm over the moon about the baby.
01:07:38Liar, I hired you on the phone.
01:07:40I was worried.
01:07:42I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay after what happened.
01:07:46What did the doctor say?
01:07:48She said that there's nothing serious.
01:07:51Take care of yourself, and everything will be okay.
01:07:54That's a relief.
01:07:56I'm sorry to have you so worried.
01:07:59Madeline, why can't you trust me?
01:08:04So we got married because it's my dad's wishes.
01:08:07You don't actually like me, do you?
01:08:09I love you deeply, Madeline.
01:08:12Me?
01:08:14You love me?
01:08:16Deeply.
01:08:18From the moment I first laid eyes on you.
01:08:20I was drowning you, and you just didn't know.
01:08:24How could I?
01:08:26You never said anything.
01:08:28I was scared.
01:08:33You have so much of a life to explore, and before getting stuck with someone like me,
01:08:39you're still young.
01:08:42I was worried that you'd think I was childish or mature.
01:08:47You're incredible.
01:08:50Honestly, I loved you for a long time.
01:08:54Are you serious?
01:08:55I am.
01:08:57Nicholas, I love you.
01:09:01I love you more, Madeline.
01:09:05Feeling.
01:09:07In every bit of my heart.
01:09:10Bye.
01:09:11Bye.
01:09:11Bye.
01:09:14Bye.
01:09:14Bye.
