Short filmTranscript
00:00:07I woke up in a stranger's bed, but the stranger was my boss.
00:00:22Marry me.
00:00:24He wanted to buy me, like I was a company.
00:00:35The man I loved and the friend I trusted, they were both lying to me.
00:00:47So I signed, not for love, for revenge.
00:00:56Just a weak assistant.
00:01:02They thought I was broken.
00:01:05They had no idea.
00:01:06I was just getting started.
00:01:18I am Chaos.
00:01:21The designer everyone is hunting.
00:01:34I have to get out of here, now.
00:01:47Good morning, Hallie.
00:01:50Mr. Gardner, I, this was a mistake.
00:01:54I need to leave.
00:01:55I need to leave.
00:01:59Wear these.
00:02:02What?
00:02:03Given the events of last night, and my position, we need to discuss the path forward.
00:02:14Marriage.
00:02:19A scandal involving the CEO and a junior assistant be detrimental to the stock price.
00:02:24A sudden marriage can be spun as a whirlwind romance.
00:02:28It solves the PR crisis.
00:02:31I am not marrying you for a stock price.
00:02:34It is a contract.
00:02:35A business arrangement.
00:02:36I have a boyfriend.
00:02:38Irving.
00:02:42The creative director.
00:02:44An obstacle, but hardly an insurmountable one.
00:02:48He didn't answer your calls last night.
00:02:50That doesn't mean anything.
00:02:51Get dressed, Hallie.
00:02:54The car is waiting downstairs.
00:03:10I'm leaving.
00:03:11We are going to pretend this never happened.
00:03:13We will never speak of this again.
00:03:18Hallie, running doesn't solve problems.
00:03:21It solves this one.
00:03:36Miss Andrews, Mr. Gardner instructed me to take you home.
00:03:43I can take the subway.
00:03:45The doorman is watching, Miss Andrews.
00:03:47And the paparazzi.
00:03:48It would be best to get in.
00:03:52Mr. Gardner rarely loses control.
00:03:55You must be unexpected.
00:04:01Mistakes usually don't involve archival Chanel.
00:04:12Stop the car.
00:04:14Mrs. Andrews, we are in the middle of traffic.
00:04:17Please, stop.
00:04:18There's a CVS right there.
00:04:19I need something.
00:04:31Ezra is a man who takes care of his assets.
00:04:50You lied.
00:04:53You lied.
00:05:09Oh my god.
00:05:10You look like death.
00:05:11But listen, they found a woman's ripped dress in Ezra's penthouse suite on Saturday morning.
00:05:16Probably a model he took home from the gala.
00:05:18That's what everyone is saying.
00:05:20They're all trying to guess who.
00:05:24Andrews, this sketch, it's disruptive.
00:05:29I want you taking notes in the 2 p.m. concept meeting.
00:05:33Nothing, sir.
00:05:34I, I, yes, of course.
00:05:50Design department, Holly Andrews.
00:05:52Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Gardner would like to see you in his office.
00:05:57Now.
00:05:59I'm in the middle of preparing for the-
00:06:01Now, Mrs. Andrews.
00:06:12Did you hear about the dress?
00:06:15Everyone's talking about it.
00:06:16Of course.
00:06:17But get this.
00:06:18Ezra Gardner was seen driving a woman out of the garage Saturday morning in the Maybach.
00:06:22Who was she?
00:06:23No idea.
00:06:24But the rumor is she was wearing runway Chanel.
00:06:29Whoever she is, she won't last.
00:06:32Ezra Gardner doesn't do relationships.
00:06:49Is the air conditioning and design malfunctioning?
00:06:52Uh, no, Mr. Gardner.
00:06:53It's quite comfortable.
00:06:55It must be freezing to warrant such heavy wool.
00:06:59I, I run cold.
00:07:00Really?
00:07:02That wasn't my impression.
00:07:05Stay.
00:07:12Your tag is sticking out.
00:07:14Hide it well, Hallie.
00:07:17I don't like sharing what's mine.
00:07:21Into my office.
00:07:22Now.
00:07:40You wanted to see me, Mr. Gardner?
00:07:47It says Hallie Andrews declined your request.
00:07:50Is this how you treat your fiancé?
00:07:55I'm not your fiancé.
00:07:59We are negotiating.
00:08:01And declining a friend request is a poor opening move, Hallie.
00:08:16The prenuptial agreement.
00:08:18Draft one.
00:08:24You can't be serious.
00:08:25The allowance?
00:08:26It's more than my annual salary.
00:08:29I am always serious about my investments.
00:08:32I am not an investment.
00:08:36I want my life back.
00:08:38I want to be invisible again.
00:08:40I notice assets others overlook, Hallie.
00:08:44For instance, your particular interest in Senator Grimes.
00:08:51How do you know about that?
00:08:53I told you.
00:08:54I verify my investments.
00:08:57A ghost.
00:08:58A junior assistant will never get close enough to ask him your questions.
00:09:02Then you think you can help?
00:09:04I don't think.
00:09:05I know.
00:09:08Being Mrs. Ezra Gardner puts you at his table.
00:09:12It forces him to acknowledge you.
00:09:15Why?
00:09:16Why are you doing this for me?
00:09:19Because I always acquire what catches my eye.
00:09:25I need time.
00:09:27Take it.
00:09:29But while you think, check your phone.
00:09:35Accept my friend request.
00:09:42Good.
00:09:43Now go back to work.
00:09:46What?
00:09:49And Hallie?
00:09:50Cancel your dinner plans.
00:09:52I have a date with Irvin.
00:09:56Not anymore.
00:10:05Whoa.
00:10:06You okay?
00:10:07You look...
00:10:08green.
00:10:10Bad sushi.
00:10:11I just threw up everything.
00:10:13Are you sure it's not morning sickness?
00:10:18Definitely not.
00:10:19Just food poisoning.
00:10:26Hello!
00:10:27Look!
00:10:27The all-company email!
00:10:31You're on the S-Country Fashion Week list.
00:10:33My name was at the bottom of the list.
00:10:35This was Ezra's doing.
00:10:36He was manipulating my entire career.
00:10:39I don't care if he's in a board meeting, Finley.
00:10:42He can't just do this to me!
00:10:46He left this for you, Ms. Andrews.
00:10:48This is your chance to prove you are not just a pretty face.
00:10:52Don't waste it.
00:10:58Babe, saw the list.
00:11:00We can turn this into a romantic vacation.
00:11:04A romantic vacation?
00:11:06Now you want to be seen with me?
00:11:09Feeling sick?
00:11:12Liar.
00:11:12Finley left something at the front desk for you.
00:11:15Mr. Butler said this was urgent.
00:11:17Inside the bag was a thermost of ginger soup.
00:11:20He knew.
00:11:21He knew!
00:11:22He knew I took the pill!
00:11:23He thinks he can control me with soup?
00:11:26Make me compliant?
00:11:32I drank just enough to settle my stomach.
00:11:34Then walked to the nearest trash can.
00:11:37Did you clear the security logs from the pharmacy?
00:11:39And the lobby footage.
00:11:41No record of her illness exists.
00:11:44Drive.
00:11:47To us, Hallie.
00:11:48And to your big break.
00:11:55You smell like Chanel No 5.
00:11:57That's Leah's signature scent.
00:11:59I must have walked through her perfume cloud at the office.
00:12:02Now about S country.
00:12:04I'm thinking of heading out a few days early.
00:12:07A few days early?
00:12:08Sounds busy.
00:12:09Excuse me for a moment.
00:12:12Excuse me for a moment.
00:12:24I hope Leah is okay.
00:12:25She just told me she's terribly sick.
00:12:29Oh?
00:12:30That's too bad.
00:12:39Actually, babe, I totally forgot.
00:12:42I have a conference call with the Tokyo team in 30 minutes.
00:12:45I have to cut this short.
00:12:46Of course.
00:12:47Work first.
00:12:51Just wait a second.
00:13:01Leah.
00:13:04Driver.
00:13:05Take me home.
00:13:37Going up?
00:13:38Are you following me?
00:13:40It's my building, Hallie.
00:13:42I'm everywhere.
00:13:48My phone.
00:13:49Where is it?
00:13:51No, no, no.
00:13:52It's shattered.
00:13:53The evidence.
00:13:54I had everything.
00:13:55Forget the phone.
00:13:56Are you injured?
00:13:58I'm fine.
00:13:59But I lost the proof.
00:14:03We're stuck.
00:14:04The emergency button is dead.
00:14:08Are you okay?
00:14:09Your knuckles are white.
00:14:11I'm fine.
00:14:13You're claustrophobic.
00:14:15Don't be ridiculous.
00:14:17You are.
00:14:18You're sweating.
00:14:20Talk to me.
00:14:21Just talk about anything.
00:14:38I've got you.
00:14:39I'm fine.
00:14:40Get off me.
00:14:42You can't even stand.
00:14:44Lean on me.
00:14:45We have to take the stairs.
00:14:48Your leg.
00:14:49What happened?
00:14:50Old injury.
00:14:51A lifetime ago.
00:14:53Ezra, what happened?
00:14:55Get Ms. Andrews a new phone.
00:14:57The latest model.
00:14:58Yes, sir.
00:14:59Restore her cloud data immediately.
00:15:02I don't need...
00:15:03It's a worker's comp issue.
00:15:06Do it.
00:15:25You're still here?
00:15:27Finley is still working.
00:15:29And he said the storm was bad.
00:15:32No Ubers.
00:15:34I'll drive you.
00:15:37You shouldn't be driving.
00:15:38Your leg.
00:15:41I have a driver, Hallie.
00:16:00You were sleeping.
00:16:01We've been parked for 20 minutes.
00:16:03Where are we?
00:16:05Why did we stop?
00:16:07For the sugar cash.
00:16:11You didn't have to do this.
00:16:13I told you, Hallie.
00:16:14I take care of my investments.
00:16:26The contract.
00:16:27Send me the final version.
00:16:30Are you sure?
00:16:32I want access to Grimes.
00:16:34That's my condition.
00:16:42You'll have it.
00:16:43And I want to design.
00:16:46For real.
00:16:47Not just fetch coffee.
00:16:50You were never meant to fetch coffee, Hallie.
00:16:53I've seen your sketches.
00:16:54Potential.
00:16:55You've seen my sketches?
00:16:57I'll see you tomorrow, fiancé.
00:17:00I'll see you tomorrow, fiancé.
00:17:12It came from the top floor.
00:17:14What is it?
00:17:16It's the first move in my war.
00:17:23Adequate.
00:17:25High praise from you.
00:17:27When you see him, don't look at him like a daughter.
00:17:30Look at him like an equal.
00:17:34I don't know if I can.
00:17:37You can.
00:17:38You have me.
00:17:46Showtime, Mrs. Gardner.
00:17:48Edzra, good to see you.
00:17:50And who is this lovely accessory?
00:17:52Senator, I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
00:17:55Fiancé?
00:17:56You?
00:17:57Yes.
00:17:58This is Hallie.
00:17:59Hallie Andrews.
00:18:01A pleasure to meet you, Senator.
00:18:05The pleasure is mine.
00:18:07He didn't even recognize me.
00:18:10Who are you, Exra Gardner?
00:18:12The man who saw your value when everyone else was blind.
00:18:18Kiss me.
00:18:19With pleasure.
00:18:45Andrews, explain this.
00:18:46These are Wendy's sketches.
00:18:47Why are you showing them to me?
00:18:49Don't play dumb.
00:18:51I've been looking for those since yesterday.
00:18:53Security found them in your personal drawer.
00:18:57She was playing a trick.
00:18:59And why would I steal this?
00:19:01It's derivative.
00:19:02It's mediocre.
00:19:03Excuse me?
00:19:04You little thief.
00:19:05You're just a glorified coffee girl.
00:19:07You only got here by men.
00:19:08Enough.
00:19:08Hallie, the sketches were in your desk.
00:19:10That's possession of proprietary IP.
00:19:12We have zero tolerance.
00:19:13Check the cameras.
00:19:15There's a camera right above my desk.
00:19:17Oh, didn't you hear?
00:19:18The cameras on this floor were down yesterday.
00:19:21How convenient.
00:19:23Ms. Andrews, hand over your badge.
00:19:26We need to escort you for an investigative interview.
00:19:28I didn't do it.
00:19:32Holly.
00:19:33This way.
00:19:34Don't touch me.
00:19:38That's what happens when you fly too close to the sun.
00:19:41Sign this.
00:19:42It's standard protocol.
00:19:47Don't sign anything.
00:19:48Mr. Butler, this is an HR matter.
00:19:51Mr. Gardner is on his way down.
00:19:53And he is not pleased.
00:20:07Report.
00:20:08Ms. Gardner.
00:20:09We found stolen sketches in Mrs. Andrews' desk.
00:20:13Proprietary designs belong to Ms. Quinn.
00:20:16Evidence.
00:20:18These were the files, sir.
00:20:27You're telling me my special assistant with access to this conglomerate's confidential financials risked her career to steal this?
00:20:34This pedestrian, uninspired garbage?
00:20:38Sir, it's the fall lead piece.
00:20:40It's a poor knockoff of a Balenciade code from five years ago.
00:20:43Where is the security footage?
00:20:45The cameras were down, sir.
00:20:46For maintenance.
00:20:47Maintenance.
00:20:49I pay $40 million a year for a system that rivals the Pentagon, and it just happened to go down?
00:20:54Finley, get IT security.
00:20:56I want a forensic audit of the server logs.
00:20:58Pull the physical backup tapes from the basement.
00:21:00If I find out this was a setup, termination will be the least of your worries.
00:21:04I will sue you for corporate sabotage until your great-crazed grandchildren are paying the legal fees.
00:21:12Tear that up.
00:21:17Ms. Andrews returns to her desk.
00:21:19If anyone has a problem with that, they can see me.
00:21:22Personally.
00:21:24Allie.
00:21:26Yes?
00:21:27My office.
00:21:39Bring an appetite.
00:21:40I'm not eating alone.
00:21:55Sit.
00:21:57Eat.
00:22:00You look like you haven't eaten since the gala.
00:22:07It's for energy.
00:22:08For catching rats.
00:22:11He thinks.
00:22:13Your assistant.
00:22:14He definitely thinks we're sleeping together.
00:22:16He knows we are engaged.
00:22:18It's functionally the same thing in his mind.
00:22:21It's not.
00:22:22This is a business arrangement.
00:22:28Who paid for this breakfast?
00:22:30The company account.
00:22:32Why?
00:22:33I want to pay for my share.
00:22:34I am not a kept woman.
00:22:38I have a salary.
00:22:41Allie.
00:22:42I want to pay for my money.
00:22:43The orange juice costs more than your hourly rate.
00:22:45I don't care.
00:22:46How much?
00:22:48If it makes your fragile ego feel better, $200.
00:22:53For eggs?
00:22:55Are the kick-ins made of gold?
00:22:57It's from Le Couché.
00:22:59Just eat the eggs, Holly.
