00:00:00Look, it was your grandfather's decision for you to marry Michelle.
00:00:06I basically watched her grow up, and she spent so much time in this house.
00:00:11I know she can be a little bookish and quiet, but she's really very smart.
00:00:16Look, Grandma, we talked about this. I'm not marrying just anybody.
00:00:20Maybe if God wants me to and have a woman fall from the sky right in front of me, then
00:00:23I'd consider it.
00:00:24God will be no such thing. Don't be silly, Lucas.
00:00:31You okay? I'm so worried about you.
00:00:39Oh, my word!
00:00:43Michelle!
00:00:45Are you alright?
00:00:47Yeah, I'm fine. The neighbor's dog was stuck in the tree, so I figured I'd help her out.
00:00:52Um, did I scare you guys? I'm sorry.
00:00:55Oh, no! Actually, your timing couldn't be better.
00:01:01Lucas, what were you saying about a woman falling from the sky?
00:01:08What the heck? This is what God wants.
00:01:14I threw a business trip in Europe, so I didn't have time to get your ring, but...
00:01:23I'm gonna make it up to you, I promise.
00:01:27It's a shame my glasses broke.
00:01:29I didn't even get to see what he looked like.
00:01:32Well, if he is Amy's grandson, he's gotta be a good person.
00:01:36Right?
00:01:37Mm-hmm.
00:01:40Hello?
00:01:42My study abroad application got approved?
00:01:45Thank you!
00:02:01Hi, Amy!
00:02:03Sweetheart!
00:02:04Oh, you're back!
00:02:06It's been four long years, and you haven't even seen each other!
00:02:11Lucas can pick you up so you can come home together!
00:02:13Okay, will do. Bye.
00:02:17Michelle!
00:02:19Hey!
00:02:26Your wife has got a white suitcase, and she's dyed her hair red.
00:02:31You can't miss her.
00:02:32And don't forget the flowers!
00:02:34Oh!
00:02:40Hi!
00:02:44Welcome home.
00:02:45So good to see you.
00:02:47Thank you!
00:02:48You too!
00:02:49It's been forever.
00:02:50I know.
00:02:50Red hair, white suitcase.
00:02:53So my wife has got a boyfriend.
00:02:56Great.
00:03:01So sweet.
00:03:02Get in, cousin. Let's go.
00:03:07Um, Amy told me that Lucas was gonna pick me up.
00:03:15I think I'm the only one here to pick you up.
00:03:18Mm-hmm.
00:03:20Shoot.
00:03:22I'm gonna be late.
00:03:23Will you give me a ride?
00:03:24Of course.
00:03:26Let's go.
00:03:29What was I thinking?
00:03:31A husband who hasn't shown up once during our marriage?
00:03:35Of course he's not picking me up at the airport.
00:03:48As head of the EP's secretary department, it's my duty to tell you that arriving 15 minutes early is basic
00:03:55etiquette.
00:03:56Oh.
00:03:57Well, should I remind you that as a secretary, it's your job to be nice to your coworkers?
00:04:03Alright, let's not do this. The CEO will be here very soon.
00:04:08And I should remind you, the boss doesn't like work conflicts.
00:04:11Alright, he's late because he went to the airport to pick up his wife.
00:04:14Otherwise, you might have lost your job day one.
00:04:17They must really love each other.
00:04:19My husband didn't even show up.
00:04:21Mm-hmm.
00:04:25Good morning, Mr. Miller.
00:04:27Good morning, Mr. Miller.
00:04:37He looks kind of familiar.
00:04:44Hey, did I hear this right?
00:04:46The CEO was out of the country for four years and now he's just got back recently?
00:04:50Yeah.
00:04:52In just four years, he built branches overseas, bought out local businesses, expanded this company worldwide.
00:04:58That's really impressive.
00:05:00Ah!
00:05:01Please!
00:05:01Wait!
00:05:02Give me another chance!
00:05:03Go!
00:05:03Please don't fire me!
00:05:05Come on!
00:05:05What happened?
00:05:06Some people can't help flirting with the boss.
00:05:08Don't get any ideas like that.
00:05:11He doesn't like those kind of women.
00:05:12Oh.
00:05:13You don't have to worry about that.
00:05:14I won't do that.
00:05:22I have a business meeting in 20 minutes.
00:05:25If someone can clean the stain in 10, I'll make you my personal assistant.
00:05:29Being the CEO's personal assistant, can you imagine?
00:05:32You'd get to go to all the banquets and meet all the private clientele?
00:05:36But how could anyone clean it in 10 minutes?
00:05:39It's impossible.
00:05:40I have an idea, sir.
00:05:42If I may.
00:05:44You see that suit?
00:05:45That's the latest TX model.
00:05:48It costs over a hundred grand.
00:05:49I can just buy him a new one.
00:05:52It's something somebody like you probably can't even imagine.
00:05:55Unless, of course, you found yourself a rich husband.
00:05:58Like...
00:05:59Right now?
00:06:09Hey.
00:06:11You're not just being my personal assistant?
00:06:13No.
00:06:14It's just...
00:06:15I don't think anyone's gonna get that stain out in 10 minutes.
00:06:19Well, you're so clueless.
00:06:21You wouldn't even know where to start.
00:06:37What are you doing?
00:06:39You're gonna ruin the jacket!
00:06:40Hold on.
00:06:42Let's see what she's up to.
00:07:01Please.
00:07:02Do you have any idea the type of clients our boss is meeting every day?
00:07:06I...
00:07:07This is embarrassing.
00:07:08Thanks, sir.
00:07:31I like it.
00:07:32This is a great idea.
00:07:35You know, being a personal assistant, you often have to think on your feet.
00:07:40What's her name?
00:07:42Michelle.
00:07:43Michelle.
00:07:43Michelle Herbert.
00:07:45Huh.
00:07:46She shares the same name as my cheating wife.
00:07:49Is that a husband?
00:07:51Yeah, it's a pretty common name.
00:07:53It is a common name.
00:07:54I guess it's just an unfortunate coincidence.
00:07:57You'll come to a business center with me tomorrow.
00:07:59And Ella, from now on, Michelle will handle all banquets and business events.
00:08:03What?
00:08:04Is that a problem?
00:08:06Because if it is, you could always find another job.
00:08:09No!
00:08:10No, of course not, sir.
00:08:14You are incompetent for this job.
00:08:18You.
00:08:29You.
00:08:31You.
00:08:33You.
00:08:52Maybe I should give her a chance to explain herself.
00:08:55Oh, fuck.
00:08:58I guess I'll just surprise you then.
00:09:01Any idea what to bring on a date?
00:09:03No idea, sir.
00:09:04Um, maybe ask Michelle.
00:09:12Michelle, a CEO would like to speak with you.
00:09:16What gifts would I bring on a date?
00:09:19I think it depends on your relationship with her.
00:09:22She's my wife.
00:09:23Have you bought her gifts before?
00:09:26No, I haven't had a chance to yet.
00:09:28But I'm going to make it up to her.
00:09:31Well, I mean, girls love sparkly jewelry.
00:09:34Maybe diamonds would be a good choice.
00:09:36Even if she doesn't wear them, she could use them as like a collector's item.
00:09:39That's good.
00:09:40They do like diamonds.
00:09:42That's a great idea.
00:09:43Well, I have a pretty unique diamond ring, so...
00:09:47Get her anything else you might like and make it a limited edition.
00:09:51My wife deserves the best.
00:09:52You got it.
00:09:56Hey, Michelle.
00:10:00Look, I know the boss is being very nice to you, but you can see how much he loves his
00:10:04wife,
00:10:04so I don't want you to think that you can replace the missus or anything.
00:10:08No, don't worry.
00:10:09I'm here for the job and the money, not a shot at the CEO.
00:10:13Good.
00:10:14Well, once you grab everything, you can leave.
00:10:17Okay.
00:10:17Thanks.
00:10:21Your wife's house, boss.
00:10:24Think you like it?
00:10:29Hey.
00:10:30Hey, can you go to the store and give me some soy sauce, please?
00:10:32I need it for the recipe.
00:10:33No, I need to...
00:10:34Hey!
00:10:38Do you want me to go with you, boss?
00:10:43No, I'll be fine.
00:10:53Excuse me.
00:11:12That was quick.
00:11:14Hi.
00:11:16Who are you?
00:11:17Who are you?
00:11:19Is this Michelle's house?
00:11:21Yeah.
00:11:22Michelle Harper.
00:11:24Yes.
00:11:25Do you live with Michelle Harper?
00:11:27Of course.
00:11:28They're already living together and here I am making excuses for her.
00:11:31Hey, man, what are you doing?
00:11:33Thomas!
00:11:34What's going on?
00:11:35I'm going to make you pay for this.
00:11:37Are you okay?
00:11:38What happened?
00:11:40I'm fine.
00:11:49He looks like a boss.
00:12:01What's going on?
00:12:02Shut up.
00:12:06What's going on?
00:12:08Some random guy knocked at the door and he attacked me.
00:12:11Thank God Cora was there.
00:12:13Don't worry.
00:12:14I'm a taekwondo coach.
00:12:15I could kick his ass.
00:12:16What random guy?
00:12:18Are you guys...
00:12:19Are you making this up?
00:12:21No.
00:12:22Come on, let's eat.
00:12:22It looks so good.
00:12:24No, I'm serious.
00:12:25And he said he knew you.
00:12:28He was asking about me?
00:12:31What if it was my husband?
00:12:34What if it was my husband?
00:12:35Is he trying to surprise me?
00:12:37Is that why he's not texting me back?
00:12:42I wish Lucas and I could be as happy as Thomas and Cora.
00:12:48Surprise.
00:12:53What's wrong?
00:12:56You don't really think that that guy could be your husband, right?
00:13:01Are you okay?
00:13:04I'm fine.
00:13:07She's got divorced.
00:13:09What?
00:13:13What a jerk.
00:13:15I actually believed that he was going to show up for me this time.
00:13:19Even if he gets down on one knee and begs me to take him back,
00:13:23I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:13:37Lucas?
00:13:39Okay, one more drink.
00:13:41Yeah?
00:13:42What are you doing here?
00:13:44Where's my drink?
00:13:44Can we get one more drink?
00:13:47Okay, just...
00:13:52Come on.
00:13:54Get you some water.
00:13:56Come here.
00:13:59Mom, I'll bring it.
00:14:01Okay.
00:14:04This room looks exactly like the one I gave him a show.
00:14:09Wait, my ring isn't ingrained.
00:14:13Let me check.
00:14:27Who is it?
00:14:29Who is it?
00:14:31It's Evie.
00:14:32Thank goodness it's not his wife.
00:14:35We don't need our room cleaned right now.
00:14:38Thanks.
00:14:46Thanks, boss.
00:14:52What am I thinking?
00:14:54How could I mistake her for Michelle?
00:15:03Yeah?
00:15:04Lucas, what is going on?
00:15:07I heard you're getting a divorce.
00:15:09Yeah.
00:15:09I won't be like my father.
00:15:11I won't be with a woman who cheats on me.
00:15:14Well, Michelle would never do something like that.
00:15:17I thought so, too.
00:15:18You okay?
00:15:19The neighbor's dog was stuck in the tree, so I figured I'd help her out.
00:15:23Um, did I scare you guys?
00:15:25I'm sorry.
00:15:28I just don't want my kids to go through what I went through.
00:15:30Oh, Lucas.
00:15:32It's okay.
00:15:33I'll figure it out.
00:15:34I just want you to be happy.
00:15:38I will be, Grandma.
00:15:43I guess I scared her away, huh?
00:15:57Come on, Michelle.
00:15:59You're married.
00:16:00Get it together.
00:16:04Don't be waiting for the party tomorrow.
00:16:18Sorry.
00:16:19No entry without an invitation.
00:16:22Wait, I think that...
00:16:23Big way!
00:16:25Ella?
00:16:27Is this a friend of yours?
00:16:29Looks like she could use my help.
00:16:30Oh, no.
00:16:32I have no idea who she is, Mr. Sylvester.
00:16:35But you're my date.
00:16:36You're not trying to find a new one already.
00:16:39No, of course not.
00:16:41You see, the boss is looking to see how we handle things.
00:16:45I can get into this party without an invitation.
00:16:48And you can't.
00:16:50You're not fit to be his personal assistant.
00:16:53So get ready to get fired.
00:16:57She doesn't have an invitation.
00:16:59Make sure she stays out.
00:17:00Please.
00:17:01I just...
00:17:01Come on, didn't you see how she just tried to use my date to get in?
00:17:04No.
00:17:06All right.
00:17:08I'll see you outside.
00:17:10Loser.
00:17:15Man, you need to leave.
00:17:18Please.
00:17:18My boss is waiting for me.
00:17:20I need to get inside, otherwise he won't find me.
00:17:23There is no boss here for you.
00:17:24Come on, let's go.
00:17:25She can't be that terrible, can she?
00:17:27I mean, why else are they kicking her out?
00:17:30Man, if you refuse to leave, we're going to have to take you by force.
00:17:33Don't you dare take her away.
00:17:35Oh my God.
00:17:36That's Lucas, the youngest CEO from the Forbes list.
00:17:41Sorry, mate.
00:17:43I heard you were trying to take her away, is that right?
00:17:45Uh, no.
00:17:47It was a misunderstanding, sir.
00:17:48I didn't know the lady was with you.
00:17:50It was my mistake.
00:17:52So, can we go in now?
00:17:54So, can we go in now?
00:17:54Oh, yeah, of course.
00:17:56Of course.
00:18:01Thank you for helping me, boss.
00:18:04Of course.
00:18:05Just don't arrive 15 minutes early next stop.
00:18:08Understood.
00:18:24Seems you don't like that beautiful lady very much.
00:18:27No.
00:18:28Of course I like her.
00:18:30I heard that famous actress, Megan, grew up with Lucas.
00:18:35Wonder what she'd think if he's taken away by another woman.
00:18:40Mr. Sylvester, you are an angel.
00:18:43Oh, I don't help out for freedom.
00:18:48Don't worry.
00:18:49Your wish will soon be granted.
00:18:57Is it true?
00:18:59I heard Lucas got himself an escort to take him to all these public events.
00:19:03Sort of like being his wife?
00:19:04Yeah, and he was just defending her at the door.
00:19:08Where is she?
00:19:10Oh, my God.
00:19:12This is the first time I've seen Lucas bring a date to a party.
00:19:15There she is.
00:19:17Star of the evening.
00:19:18I can see why Lucas chose her to be his date.
00:19:20She is stunning.
00:19:22Lucas, my man.
00:19:24I heard you're planning to build a shopping center.
00:19:26I have a great piece of land.
00:19:28I can make a decent offer on it.
00:19:30Come on.
00:19:33Come on.
00:19:37We all know Lucas is mine.
00:19:41Get out of here, you worthless low-life bitch.
00:19:44What?
00:19:46You really think that cheap crap is going to impress Lucas?
00:19:49He's mine.
00:19:51Are you his wife?
00:19:53Because I seem to remember her name being Michelle.
00:19:56That girl?
00:19:58Please.
00:19:59Lucas and I grew up together.
00:20:00She's just some random girl that he ran into one day.
00:20:03Why are you still here?
00:20:04I said, get out of here.
00:20:06I'm sorry, but it's my job to attend this event with my boss, so no.
00:20:11I'm not going to just get out of here.
00:20:16What the hell is your problem?
00:20:18Look, there.
00:20:19Your dress is ruined.
00:20:21Now you have a reason to go.
00:20:23Seriously, what is the matter with you?
00:20:25Do you even know who I am?
00:20:26Yes, I do know.
00:20:28In fact, I know you have a new movie coming out.
00:20:31You wouldn't want the media to find out about what you just did, would you?
00:20:36Because I got it all on camera, look.
00:20:39You threatening me?
00:20:40Nothing.
00:20:44You threatening me?
00:20:49Lucas, this woman was threatening to ruin my career because she's your assistant.
00:20:54Fire her.
00:20:55I think she was doing exactly what I wanted her to do.
00:20:58Do you have a problem with that?
00:21:00Lucas, are you taking her side?
00:21:06Are you okay?
00:21:08Yeah, I'm just going to go clean up.
00:21:19The boss is so protective of me.
00:21:21I can't embarrass him anymore.
00:21:30What are you doing?
00:21:31This is the ladies' room.
00:21:34What are you doing?
00:21:35This is the ladies' room.
00:21:37I know.
00:21:38That's why I locked the door.
00:21:39Now it's just you and me.
00:21:42Get away from me!
00:21:44I'm Lucas' secretary, so...
00:21:46You really think Lucas gives a shit about you?
00:21:49He just happens to dislike Megan.
00:21:51But I'm offering him land at a fraction of the cost, saving him billions.
00:21:56Do you think you're worth billions to Lucas?
00:21:58You're lying.
00:21:59Lucas would never turn his back on his employees.
00:22:02We'll see about that.
00:22:24Are you alright?
00:22:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:22:33Are you alright?
00:22:34Yeah, I'm fine.
00:22:38I'm so sorry.
00:22:42Lucas!
00:22:44I was just assaulted by your secretary.
00:22:46I want to fight or our deal is off.
00:22:48Are you kidding me?
00:22:49You're the one who assaulted me!
00:22:52Our business dealings with the Sylvester family are done.
00:22:54What?
00:22:55Come on, we've been running the most successful business here.
00:22:58I can make your family disappear.
00:23:02Yeah, I'd like the Sylvester family to go bankrupt.
00:23:05That's ridiculous!
00:23:06Our family's been around for decades.
00:23:14What are you saying?
00:23:20Father, it's bad.
00:23:22All our stocks just plummeted.
00:23:24We're bankrupt.
00:23:27What?
00:23:28Man, I'm sorry.
00:23:29Alright, I was wrong.
00:23:31I shouldn't have tried anything with you, Sam, Terry.
00:23:34But it's not my fault.
00:23:35Not my family's.
00:23:37It's too late for that now.
00:23:38Michelle, please.
00:23:40Talk to you for me.
00:23:42Will you?
00:23:42I would, but I'm just a secretary.
00:23:46Remember?
00:23:47There's nothing I can do.
00:23:49Get out of our face.
00:23:51Now!
00:23:54Thank you, boss.
00:23:57Of course.
00:23:58Just protecting our employees from getting bullied.
00:24:01But without the Sylvester deal, you're gonna lose billions.
00:24:05There's no point in doing business at the cost of our employee's safety.
00:24:09And plus, plenty of companies want to work with us.
00:24:12So next time, when something like that happens, come straight to us.
00:24:17We've got your back.
00:24:19Okay?
00:24:21Wow.
00:24:21He really is a stand-up guy.
00:24:24Unlike my ex-husband.
00:24:25The boss's wife is so lucky.
00:24:28Let's get late.
00:24:30I should, uh, take you home.
00:24:33Thanks.
00:24:38She's really pretty.
00:24:41Wait.
00:24:42Red-haired woman named Michelle?
00:24:44And that ring necklace?
00:24:46Could it be...
00:24:48Michelle?
00:24:55You can't get enough of her, can you?
00:24:57I'll stop her.
00:24:58Come on.
00:24:59I'll stop obsessing about her.
00:25:00I'm not.
00:25:01All right, all right.
00:25:02I know.
00:25:02She's not your type.
00:25:04Who makes you set up?
00:25:05Well, with someone of your status, allow a woman you like to wear a cheap dress like
00:25:10a hat.
00:25:10But seriously, I've never seen you defend a woman like that before.
00:25:14You shut Megan up.
00:25:15You lost out on a billion-dollar deal.
00:25:17All for that, bro.
00:25:20Well, I'm just setting it for what's right.
00:25:23Well, if you don't like her, can I shoot my shot?
00:25:29Go ahead.
00:25:29Oh, yeah?
00:25:31We'll see about that.
00:25:37Hey, where you headed?
00:25:39Did I give you a ride?
00:25:43My assistant doesn't need a ride.
00:25:46No?
00:26:02Drive.
00:26:05You know, you'll always get shotgun if you ride in my car.
00:26:11Don't talk to Edson.
00:26:12I think this is my boy.
00:26:14Don't worry.
00:26:15I remember.
00:26:18I've been married.
00:26:23Wait, wait, what?
00:26:24You're your husband?
00:26:26Yeah, we got married about four years ago.
00:26:29Now you're strong in your eyes, with dreams soaring to the skies.
00:26:34What's wrong?
00:26:35Did you lose something?
00:26:36Where did it go?
00:26:37Oh, Virginie.
00:26:40Shoot.
00:26:42That's where I dropped in.
00:26:44What's wrong?
00:26:45Did you lose something?
00:26:46No.
00:26:48I don't need it.
00:26:49It's coming.
00:26:50Losing the ring he gave me when we're getting divorced.
00:26:53Maybe it's meant to happen.
00:27:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:27:02I just got really distracted for a second.
00:27:06Um.
00:27:06Where do you live?
00:27:07Hold on.
00:27:08I'll take you home.
00:27:09Um, it's okay.
00:27:10Actually, I'm having someone back there.
00:27:12Um.
00:27:13Is that, uh,
00:27:14Is that a rose?
00:27:19Bless.
00:27:20All right.
00:27:26Michelle.
00:27:28I'll have a gift for you.
00:27:35Isn't this supposed to be for you?
00:27:38She's not.
00:27:40Did they fight?
00:27:42Maybe I'll keep it for him until they make up.
00:27:51Virginie, oh Virginie.
00:27:54Shining like a star so free.
00:27:56Grace and kindness.
00:27:58Wait.
00:27:59That's the guy my wife is cheating for.
00:28:01Is he Michelle's husband?
00:28:04Yeah.
00:28:06I don't know.
00:28:07I don't know.
00:28:09I don't know.
00:28:11I don't know.
00:28:15I don't know.
00:28:16Maybe a joy to hold.
00:28:18You okay?
00:28:19Now a story to unfold.
00:28:21Yeah.
00:28:22I think it's how to drink too many at the party.
00:28:25Beauty we've always known.
00:28:30A beauty.
00:28:33Hello.
00:28:34I want the divorce finalized as soon as possible.
00:28:37Name your terms, whatever you want.
00:28:38Don't worry.
00:28:39I'm fine with leaving with nothing.
00:28:42Fine.
00:28:42My lawyers will be in touch.
00:28:44Great.
00:28:45Okay.
00:28:47Bastard.
00:28:48Nobody wants to be your wife anyway.
00:28:51Michelle, I'm sorry for what my wife did to you.
00:28:53I'll make sure you suffer as little as possible.
00:28:56Good morning, you guys.
00:29:00Hey.
00:29:01Hey, Max.
00:29:01Good morning.
00:29:02Are you...
00:29:05Wow, wow, wow.
00:29:07You have some nerve showing your face around here.
00:29:11What do you mean?
00:29:13What do I mean?
00:29:19How do you manage to seduce all the boys at this company when you already have so many men?
00:29:25Those aren't my boyfriends.
00:29:28They don't need to be your boyfriends for you to seduce them.
00:29:31No wonder you got the personal assistant position.
00:29:34I thought she got into the company because of her professionalism, but I didn't expect that
00:29:38she used that kind of talent.
00:29:40A trash worker that affects the company like her should be kicked out immediately.
00:29:45No, you guys.
00:29:46Those photos are taken out of context.
00:29:48Somebody's slandering me.
00:29:49How dare you take the personal assistant position from me?
00:29:54Now I'm going to make sure that you leave this company in the most humiliating way possible.
00:30:04Didn't you hear us?
00:30:06Trash like you that's ruining the company's reputation needs to be taken out.
00:30:12We all know you're dirty.
00:30:15Stop playing innocent.
00:30:25Come on, tell us.
00:30:26Do you sleep with the professors?
00:30:28No wonder why they gave you those good grades.
00:30:31No, I didn't do that!
00:30:33Oh, stop it.
00:30:35Look what you're worrying every day to class.
00:30:37How pathetic.
00:30:41What's going on here?
00:30:43Class.
00:30:44Boss.
00:30:47Sir, please don't listen to her.
00:30:49She's going to tell you something, but it's not true.
00:30:50Look, her photos are all over the internet.
00:30:53They've already caused so much damage to the company.
00:30:55You have to fire her.
00:30:57Someone is trying to set me up.
00:30:59Sir, the photos don't show any signs of being fake.
00:31:03And I highly doubt that everybody here would be pleased to hear you defend her again.
00:31:10That's right.
00:31:11What do you have to say to this?
00:31:13Those photos were taken at the party.
00:31:15Last night.
00:31:16And I'm pretty sure Will had something to do with it.
00:31:18Well, if you believe someone is framing you, you need to find evidence and fight back against it.
00:31:23You're my personal assistant.
00:31:25Crisis management is a big part of the job.
00:31:27So if you can't figure this out in the next two hours, well, you might not be competent enough for
00:31:31the job.
00:31:33And we'll have to release you.
00:31:43John, help out Michelle.
00:31:45My name is behind this mess and report back to me.
00:31:48Understood.
00:31:51Why does boss care about Michelle so much?
00:31:56Stop pretending like you're working.
00:31:59I'm sorry.
00:31:59You're probably on the hunt for your next man.
00:32:02Aren't you?
00:32:06It's indeed Ella who framed me.
00:32:08Ma'am, you've been fired.
00:32:10I'm going to ask that you please leave the company.
00:32:13And who the hell are you?
00:32:16I'll have you know, I got this job through my grandmother's connections.
00:32:20Come on now.
00:32:21Come on.
00:32:22Let go of me.
00:32:24Hey, hey, hey.
00:32:27How dare you?
00:32:29Nope, nope, ma'am.
00:32:30No.
00:32:31I traced the IP address of the email sender.
00:32:34And guess what?
00:32:35It came from your home.
00:32:39You spread rumors and conspired to disgrace the company's reputation.
00:32:44So I officially inform you that you're fired.
00:32:46Now please leave.
00:32:47It's a good thing you don't get to tell me that I'm fired.
00:32:49The one thing that our boss will not tolerate is his company as well as his employees being slandered.
00:32:56Well said.
00:32:58Did he hear everything I just said?
00:33:01She's right.
00:33:04About everything.
00:33:09Hey, John.
00:33:11Thank you so much for helping me find the evidence.
00:33:14None need to thank me.
00:33:15The boss asked me to help you specifically.
00:33:18He did?
00:33:18Mm-hmm.
00:33:19Wow.
00:33:21He's the best.
00:33:23I think I really like him.
00:33:25No, not like romantically or anything.
00:33:28I can even act like a guy around him if you want.
00:33:30Treat him like we're bros.
00:33:33Lucas.
00:33:34Should we discuss the divorce details with your wife?
00:33:37Right.
00:33:43Hey, boss.
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:54Um...
00:33:56Look, I just want to say thank you for speaking up for me.
00:34:01And if you need anything, just let me know, okay?
00:34:04Of course.
00:34:06You know what?
00:34:07Actually, there's something I need you to do.
00:34:08What is it?
00:34:11Buy some decent clothes.
00:34:13Thanks, but I already have plenty of clothes.
00:34:16Not for you.
00:34:17For the company.
00:34:19We're going to go on a business trip next weekend, and I need you to represent our image in the
00:34:23best way possible.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:25Yeah, I'll get on it.
00:34:27Good.
00:34:31It's not bad to have a boss like him.
00:34:42Sir!
00:34:44Please!
00:34:45Sir, I can't lose this job!
00:34:47Ma'am!
00:34:47Stop!
00:34:49Relax, ma'am.
00:34:53Wait.
00:34:57Why do you have my wife's ring?
00:35:01Lucas's wife is Michelle?
00:35:03They don't even seem like they know each other.
00:35:06That ring was given to me.
00:35:08By my lover.
00:35:10I haven't seen from him.
00:35:11Enough of your lies.
00:35:12I'm not lying.
00:35:14My name was Michelle.
00:35:16Then my husband left, and he didn't come back.
00:35:18I changed my name.
00:35:20So he could never find me.
00:35:22So is that why you're cheating on me?
00:35:23What?
00:35:24That bitch is cheating?
00:35:27I, uh...
00:35:28This is Lucas's divorce attorney.
00:35:30We need to discuss the alimony.
00:35:33Hello?
00:35:34Mrs. Herbert, are you there?
00:35:36All right, well, since you're here, let's talk divorce.
00:35:41Oh, my God.
00:35:43His wife is...
00:35:45Ella?
00:35:47Mrs. Herbert, are you there?
00:35:49Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
00:35:50Shall we meet at the cafe in a bit?
00:35:52Sure, yeah.
00:35:59Who knew finding a necklace could land me?
00:36:01Such a big catch.
00:36:03She used to go by the name Michelle,
00:36:05gotten to my company through her grandmother,
00:36:07and now she has my wedding ring.
00:36:09I can't believe that sweet, kind girl from four years ago
00:36:12has become so vain and jealous.
00:36:16I left the country after our marriage.
00:36:18I've been gone for four years.
00:36:20So boss also left the country after he got married?
00:36:23And I owe you an explanation for that.
00:36:26So even though you fall in love with someone else,
00:36:29I still want to make it up to you.
00:36:30How do you plan to make it up to me, hubby?
00:36:36I want to give you $100,000.
00:36:39$100,000?
00:36:41Come on, your watch alone costs more than that.
00:36:44Okay, then how much do you want?
00:36:45How about we don't divorce?
00:36:49I know I made some mistakes when I was lonely,
00:36:52but I can change now that you're back.
00:36:55Dammit, Michelle, why did you have to cheat?
00:36:59It won't be necessary.
00:37:02Babe, wait.
00:37:10Where is he?
00:37:14Hello?
00:37:16Your husband wants to talk with you.
00:37:17Have you met each other?
00:37:18No, is he here?
00:37:20Why don't you give him a call?
00:37:22Okay.
00:37:23Okay.
00:37:37Dave?
00:37:38The number you have called has been disconnected.
00:37:40Freak!
00:37:40Now he's not answering my phone calls.
00:37:49Make sure she leaves with nothing.
00:37:56Ms. Herbert, what happened between you two?
00:37:59Mr. Herbert wants you to leave with nothing.
00:38:01Yeah, I have no objections to that.
00:38:11So Lucas fired his wife to protect an employee,
00:38:14and he's still so kind to her,
00:38:16even though they're also getting divorced.
00:38:18And my husband can't even show up to a divorce meeting.
00:38:21Isn't that great?
00:38:23Ugh.
00:38:23Come on.
00:38:24Pull yourself together, Michelle.
00:38:26Focus on your work
00:38:27and stop thinking about that scumbag.
00:38:36Welcome, Mrs. Herbert.
00:38:43Afternoon, Mrs. Herbert.
00:38:44Hello.
00:38:47Consider this
00:38:50a gift from me.
00:38:51I've always thought of you as my granddaughter.
00:38:56From now on,
00:38:57Michelle will be the new owner of the store
00:38:59and you'll be answering to her.
00:39:02Roger that.
00:39:03Welcome, madam.
00:39:05Oh,
00:39:05I will definitely be trying this one on.
00:39:08Michelle,
00:39:10give up
00:39:11like you could ever
00:39:13afford that.
00:39:14This is none of your business.
00:39:16You really think
00:39:18you deserve exquisite fabric like that?
00:39:23Would you mind wrapping this up for me
00:39:25for me to try it on at home?
00:39:26Yes, of course.
00:39:28So typical.
00:39:30Gold digger.
00:39:31Is there anything I can help you with, madam?
00:39:33Of course.
00:39:38I'll be taking all of this.
00:39:41Wrap it up.
00:39:42My husband is paying.
00:39:44My husband is paying.
00:39:46Then we can wait for your husband, then.
00:39:49Here you go.
00:39:50If anything doesn't fit,
00:39:51you can come back anytime to exchange.
00:39:53Thank you, Jeffrey.
00:39:55Excuse me,
00:39:56are you serious?
00:39:58She gets to leave without paying
00:39:59and I don't.
00:40:00She is the owner of this store.
00:40:02Why would I charge the owner?
00:40:04Look,
00:40:05I'll pay.
00:40:08You can just mark it under your sales.
00:40:10Oh,
00:40:11thank you,
00:40:11Mrs. Herbert.
00:40:13Mrs. Herbert?
00:40:14He knows Michelle and Lucas are married?
00:40:17I can't let Lucas come here.
00:40:24Have a good day.
00:40:29Boss?
00:40:30You find everything you need?
00:40:32Yeah,
00:40:32yeah,
00:40:33I did.
00:40:33This is everything for the business trip.
00:40:35Want anything you want?
00:40:37It's all yours.
00:40:38Just,
00:40:40consider a payment for
00:40:41keeping my divorce a secret.
00:40:48I'm just doing my job.
00:40:53I should go.
00:40:59Hey,
00:41:00so anything she wants,
00:41:0150% of them.
00:41:03Actually,
00:41:03you know what?
00:41:04Anything she wants,
00:41:06put on a matel.
00:41:06Thank you,
00:41:08sir.
00:41:08Your wife is a lucky woman.
00:41:11My wife?
00:41:12Isn't that who we were just talking about?
00:41:19Here you are.
00:41:20I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:41:23What?
00:41:25Honey,
00:41:26please don't call me that.
00:41:27It's disgusting.
00:41:30You can't even recognize your own wife,
00:41:34Lucas.
00:41:35You'll always be in my palm.
00:41:39So she's trying to get close to the boss.
00:41:42No wonder she was making fun of Mrs. Herbert.
00:41:47I'm sorry,
00:41:48madam.
00:41:49We don't welcome you here.
00:41:51Please leave.
00:41:52No one wants to shop
00:41:53at your gross store anyway.
00:41:56Have a good day.
00:42:01Yeah.
00:42:02Lucas,
00:42:03your wife agreed to walk out of the marriage with nothing.
00:42:05I thought she was being reasonable.
00:42:07It's all an act.
00:42:09Come on.
00:42:13Get this.
00:42:14She hasn't used her credit card in four years,
00:42:16and all of a sudden there's a $50,000 charge on it.
00:42:18You know what that means?
00:42:20What?
00:42:21Now that we're getting divorced,
00:42:23she's finally showing her true colors.
00:42:27She just seemed to come here.
00:42:31Hold on a second.
00:42:35Come on,
00:42:35just one drink.
00:42:36I don't drink.
00:42:37Let me go.
00:42:38Lydia said no.
00:42:39Is that going to be a problem?
00:42:40Hey,
00:42:40who's this asshole?
00:42:43Wait,
00:42:44are you the boss of EP?
00:42:47Fuck.
00:42:47I'm sorry,
00:42:48man.
00:42:48I had no idea she was with you.
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:51Thanks.
00:42:57Boss?
00:42:59Yeah,
00:43:00um,
00:43:00of course.
00:43:02Yeah.
00:43:03Just want to make sure you're there for the business trip.
00:43:05Of course.
00:43:06I wouldn't let anything interfere with work.
00:43:09Good.
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:22Michelle.
00:43:23Lucas?
00:43:34Michelle.
00:43:36Lucas?
00:43:41Oh, Michelle.
00:43:43Sir? Hey, sir?
00:43:45Sir, you dozed off.
00:43:48Are you okay?
00:43:50Where are we?
00:43:51We're at the inspection site,
00:43:53but we're gonna need to walk a bit
00:43:55to get there. Do you think you can walk?
00:43:58Sounds good.
00:43:59Should lose enough.
00:44:02What's going on with it?
00:44:11Lucas! Long time no see!
00:44:14Yes, long time no see.
00:44:16Our entire family is so honored
00:44:19to be working with you.
00:44:21This is our best space.
00:44:22Perfect for a new mall.
00:44:24Allow me to show you around.
00:44:26Ah-choo!
00:44:28Bless you! Are you okay?
00:44:30Our boss is a little unwell.
00:44:31I can take it from here.
00:44:33Boss, are you okay?
00:44:34Yeah, fine.
00:44:40Hang on, sir.
00:44:42The car is just outside.
00:44:44Michelle?
00:44:45What are you, my wife?
00:44:47What did you say?
00:44:48I think...
00:44:49I think I'm in love with you.
00:44:51Sir, I can't hear you!
00:44:54I don't want to look so bad.
00:44:57I'm Lucas' personal doctor.
00:45:00Listen, he's very allergic to fragrances and perfumes.
00:45:03Give him an antihistamine first.
00:45:06Okay. Okay, hold on.
00:45:13Okay.
00:45:23Doctor, he's not taking it!
00:45:25He has to take it.
00:45:27That's the only way to stabilize him.
00:45:38Sorry, boss, but...
00:45:39I think this is the only way.
00:45:54Are you okay?
00:45:56Come on.
00:46:08Buzz, I'm sorry, I was...
00:46:10Spare.
00:46:11What?
00:46:14Bye.
00:46:31I hate the Lord!
00:46:33Yes, I hate the Lord.
00:46:33diverse
00:46:33But I have not beenantom on, don't you see this world before,
00:46:33with me.
00:46:33Uh huh.
00:46:37Uh huh.
00:46:40Apparently Brooklynnn, I know I was a scientist.
00:46:42Five minutes ago, I know I got this issue,
00:46:43My son彈 Grappific, someone to attack.
00:46:43I'm sorry.
00:46:51Housekeeping.
00:46:58Oh, yeah.
00:46:59Tell her I want the divorce finalized immediately.
00:47:02Whatever her terms are, make a map.
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:08I'm in love with someone else.
00:47:19Hello.
00:47:20Hello, Mrs. Herbert.
00:47:21Your husband has agreed to your divorce terms.
00:47:24That's great.
00:47:25When will you be able to sign the divorce papers?
00:47:28I'm actually on a business trip right now, so I'm not sure.
00:47:31That's no problem. I'll come to you then. Where are you?
00:47:33I'm in Middlebury.
00:47:35Okay. I'll be there soon.
00:47:36Thanks.
00:47:50Oh, Mrs. King, you can't just-
00:47:52There you are.
00:47:53I'm so sorry, sir. Mrs. King insisted on seeing you now.
00:47:57What's going on here?
00:47:58Lucas, are you okay? I was so worried.
00:48:00Mrs. King?
00:48:00Lucas has just recovered. He needs to rest.
00:48:04I was talking to Mr. Herbert.
00:48:07Who are you to interfere with our conversation?
00:48:09Actually, my secretary can speak for me anytime she wants.
00:48:13And if you have a problem with that, well, I don't think we can work together.
00:48:17So.
00:48:21I'm sorry, Lucas. I was just being silly.
00:48:25Listen, I came to drop off a formal invitation to our family banquet.
00:48:30I was hoping to see you there so we could properly celebrate our new partnership.
00:48:36Yeah, I'll be there.
00:48:38Wonderful. I'll see you tonight, then.
00:48:41I look forward to being your date.
00:48:47I'm so sorry, sir. I'll just-
00:48:49Okay, come on. Just-
00:48:54Alright, well, get ready to go to the banquet with me.
00:48:57I thought Mrs. King was going to be your date.
00:49:00Not really in the mood for another allergic reaction.
00:49:09Bitch.
00:49:10Put this in Lucas' drink and bring it to her.
00:49:12Hmm?
00:49:14Lucas! Welcome!
00:49:16Lucas! Welcome!
00:49:19And you too, Michelle.
00:49:21Thanks, Mrs. King.
00:49:22Of course.
00:49:23Lucas and I have some matters to discuss, so...
00:49:27Would you excuse us?
00:49:31Sure.
00:49:34I didn't wear any perfume today, as I know that's your preference.
00:49:38What do you say you dismiss that assistant of yours and allow me to be by your side a while?
00:49:46Please, don't touch me.
00:49:47Okay, no touching.
00:49:49Well then, how about a drink?
00:49:53We can chat about our, um, partnership.
00:50:00Made in our own vineyard.
00:50:03Cheers!
00:50:06Enjoy.
00:50:07Once you drink this, you will be all mine.
00:50:17Stop! You can't drink that!
00:50:19What?
00:50:20The doctor said you can't have any alcohol, so I'm gonna take it.
00:50:28There, now you can talk about business.
00:50:30Your secretary is quite the character, Lucas.
00:50:34Well, she's just doing her job.
00:50:35Hmm.
00:50:36Is that gonna be a problem?
00:50:37Of course not.
00:50:43Um...
00:50:44Well, I think I'm feeling a little funny.
00:50:46You okay?
00:50:46I'm gonna go back to the room.
00:50:49Excuse us.
00:50:49I think.
00:50:50You okay?
00:50:50Yeah.
00:50:54Michelle.
00:50:55You alright?
00:50:56Yeah, I'm just...
00:51:00It's kinda hot in here, don't you think?
00:51:04Michelle, I should probably take you to the hospital.
00:51:07I'm really glad that you're here.
00:51:21Are you sure?
00:51:23I guess...
00:51:41We should...
00:51:43Come on.
00:51:46You need to rest.
00:51:48The doctor will be here any minute.
00:51:51Oh, doctor?
00:51:58Once a drug is out of her system, she will be fine.
00:52:01In the meantime, make sure she gets plenty of rest.
00:52:04Okay, thank you.
00:52:12The kings have to pay for this.
00:52:14Understood.
00:52:16I'll handle it.
00:52:26It's really good, too.
00:52:27Why, would you?
00:52:32I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:52:35Hey, buddy!
00:52:37So she's getting a divorce too?
00:52:42You know what your wife did?
00:52:43She told me to come here and just disappear.
00:52:45I've called her a million times and she still hasn't answered. I've turned down so many dates. Those are-
00:52:50Keep trying. I need this divorce finalized now. Please.
00:52:55Fine.
00:53:04God, I forgot about him.
00:53:08Damn it.
00:53:10She's turned it off.
00:53:12Look, I don't care what you do. I just need the divorce finalized.
00:53:15In two days.
00:53:16You didn't even want to do this at first and now you can't wait? What happened?
00:53:19You found another woman you love?
00:53:20What are you talking about?
00:53:27I'm sorry.
00:53:33So this is why you won't let me near your assistant, huh?
00:53:36You plan on marrying her yourself? Are you two, uh, together?
00:53:41She doesn't know you.
00:53:43The youngest billionaire in the country had a secret crush.
00:53:46Wow.
00:53:47Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder.
00:53:50Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder.
00:53:52Okay, all right.
00:53:54That's enough of that. Let's get out of here.
00:53:55Come on.
00:53:55Hey, look, man. If you need my help, you can always come to me, okay?
00:53:57Luckily, I don't, sir.
00:53:58Are you gonna tell her after the divorce?
00:54:00If you don't stop talking, I'm gonna end business dealing with her family, so please.
00:54:04All right, all right. I'll shut up. I'll go find your ex and get this divorce done.
00:54:08And soon, you'll be with your dream girl, huh? Huh?
00:54:13Keep going.
00:54:21Hey, thanks for helping me out last night.
00:54:24I should be apologizing. I failed to protect you.
00:54:29It wasn't your fault. And you've always been really great to me. You didn't know they were gonna drug me.
00:54:35So you do think I'm a good boss?
00:54:38I think you're the best boss I've ever had.
00:54:41But the thing is, Michelle, I don't want to just be your boss anymore.
00:54:49Boss?
00:54:50Uh, sorry.
00:54:52Let's get things packed up and let's get out of here. Yeah?
00:54:54Sure.
00:54:57Oh.
00:54:59Did the deal go through yesterday?
00:55:02More or less.
00:55:04Great. At least I didn't jeopardize the company.
00:55:09What?
00:55:11It says yesterday socialite Stacy King was reported for tax evasion.
00:55:16During an attempt to escape from the police, she got into a car accident and is now paralyzed from the
00:55:21waist down.
00:55:22All of her assets have been taken over by EP Group, the CEO of which is known for his ruthless
00:55:27business tactics.
00:55:29Did you do this?
00:55:31Would you have preferred me not to?
00:55:34No. I mean, I think you did the right thing.
00:55:37I can't imagine what would have happened if you had drank wine last night.
00:55:42It was a good thing it was me.
00:55:45What's wrong?
00:55:47It shouldn't have been you either.
00:55:49Do you understand that?
00:55:55You should probably answer that.
00:55:56Yeah.
00:56:03Hello?
00:56:04Finally!
00:56:05I thought your phone was stolen.
00:56:06Look, I'm in Middlebury. Where are you?
00:56:08I'm in...
00:56:14I'm actually on my way back now. Can I just meet you when I get there?
00:56:17No, I'm not doing this again, okay?
00:56:20I'll have somebody send you the papers and just sign them and send them back immediately.
00:56:24Okay.
00:56:30Is everything okay, boss?
00:56:32Look, I'm sorry. I saw your phone.
00:56:34I saw you got a call from the divorce lawyer.
00:56:37I'm also going through a divorce.
00:56:39Is there any advice or anything I could help you with?
00:56:41No, actually, because I'm leaving with nothing.
00:56:45Is that what he wants?
00:56:48Well, he offered me alimony, but then he changed his mind.
00:56:51It's not a big deal. I just want to get this over with.
00:56:56A woman like her being married to such a lousy guy.
00:57:00Michelle.
00:57:05What is it?
00:57:08I should wait until we're both divorced before I tell her how I feel.
00:57:11That's the respectful thing to do, right?
00:57:15Nothing.
00:57:17No.
00:57:20These are the forms for Michelle's promotion and raise.
00:57:24Just need your signature.
00:57:28Michelle Dockery?
00:57:29I thought her last name was Herbert.
00:57:32Yes, she changed her name after the divorce.
00:57:37Why do you look so happy?
00:57:40Do I?
00:57:41Not anymore, but you did.
00:57:44What are you starting at?
00:57:46Does you have work to do?
00:57:49Yep.
00:57:54Here's the divorce agreement.
00:57:55All signed and finalized.
00:57:57Now you can tell your little secretary how you feel.
00:58:00Well, that was easy. Just like that, huh?
00:58:10By the way, you work in the same company as your ex. Why didn't you get her to sign yourself?
00:58:15You could have saved me a long trip.
00:58:16Used to.
00:58:17Used to. She doesn't work here anymore.
00:58:19No?
00:58:20She said she has to return a family card she got from your grandmother.
00:58:23That's why I brought you the contract before I head over there.
00:58:25Right.
00:58:26Well, she wants to do more than return that card. Watch out for her.
00:58:29Well, she already signed the papers. There's not much she can pull off now.
00:58:32We'll meet with her first and then report back to me what happens.
00:58:35Got it.
00:58:42Hey, are you here?
00:58:43Yeah, are you...
00:58:46Wait.
00:58:48You're Michelle.
00:58:50Michelle Herbert.
00:58:52You're my divorce attorney?
00:58:56You and your husband were married for four years and you had no idea what he looked like.
00:59:02Well, my glasses were broken when we met and I couldn't see his face.
00:59:06But it doesn't matter now. Can you just... Can you give him this?
00:59:10Wait.
00:59:14Weird guy.
00:59:18You need to meet your ex-wife. In person.
00:59:21Do I? Why is that?
00:59:22Come on.
00:59:31Where is she? Is she not coming?
00:59:34There she is.
00:59:35Right there.
00:59:37What are you talking about? That's Michelle, my assistant.
00:59:40I'm telling you, man. Michelle Herbert, now Michelle Dockery, is your wife.
00:59:45You're not serious.
00:59:46Mm-hmm.
00:59:49Okay, so if I call her and it isn't Michelle?
00:59:51Do it, man. If you don't call her, I will.
01:00:06Hello?
01:00:09Really, so...
01:00:11Michelle is my real wife?
01:00:15You've all been married for four years. Didn't even know your own wife?
01:00:18Poor guy.
01:00:19Give me your memory certificate.
01:00:24What is his problem?
01:00:26Michelle!
01:00:27Amy!
01:00:29Grandma?
01:00:30Thomas Cora! What are you guys doing here?
01:00:33Aw, cousin. I can't believe that scumbag left you here with nothing.
01:00:37Cousin.
01:00:38Lucas? Lucas, I know everything. Michelle never cheated on you.
01:00:44I'm so sorry for all the problems he's caused you these past few years, but he's really a good kid.
01:00:51Uh, no, it's not like that. I mean, he's my boss.
01:00:55Michelle...
01:00:57I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:01:03This is all my fault.
01:01:07Look, I know I haven't been here the past few years, but...
01:01:11Just give me a second chance.
01:01:15Remember when you said you would never forgive someone who was down on one knee asking for forgiveness?
01:01:19Oh, Michelle, give him another chance!
01:01:37The fact that she loved it, all the rituals of HRM and��os, she came with defiance.
01:01:38You have an excuse to know that it was not a threat.
01:01:38Yes?
