00:00:01So this is New York. The Big Apple.
00:00:04These buildings are so tall they could poke a hole in the sky.
00:00:08Come on, Daisy. Make it work in New York, make the money, and Dad gets his kidney surgery.
00:00:22Sir, can you hear me?
00:00:24Hey kid, don't touch him. In New York, being a good Samaritan can bankrupt you.
00:00:29Yeah, if he dies in your arms, you're getting sued for life.
00:00:32He can barely breathe, and you're just gonna stand there and watch?
00:00:42Hang in there, sir. Deep breaths. Come on, stay with me.
00:00:51Kid, was... was it you who saved me?
00:00:54Thank God, you're awake. Are you feeling better now?
00:01:01Kid, do you have a boyfriend?
00:01:03Uh, sir, I literally just got to New York. Dating isn't exactly on my to-do list yet.
00:01:08Good, I have a grandson. Julian. Cold as ice. Works too much.
00:01:12He needs someone like you to bring some sunshine into his life.
00:01:23Let go of him. Write her a check. Make her leave. I've seen this kind of street scam before.
00:01:29Excuse me? You think having money gives you the right to insult people?
00:01:33That's enough, Julian. She saved my life.
00:01:38Julian, this is the girl I choose for you. Now take her to the marriage bureau and get married. Today.
00:01:47Grandpa, this whole payback act ends now.
00:01:50Marcus has the check ready. Take the money and send her on her way.
00:01:55Send her away? Julian, you think my life is worth a check?
00:02:00Then what exactly do you want? You seriously expect me to marry some random homeless girl?
00:02:05She is not homeless. She saved my life. Show some respect.
00:02:13Listen carefully. You're pushing our global towards an IPO, but you only control 35% of the voting shares.
00:02:22Without 15%, the board will throw you out before the IPO even happens. Marry her.
00:02:28What?
00:02:29Keep it private for one year. A real legal marriage. 12 months.
00:02:33After the IPO, my 15% goes to you. Otherwise, you can start packing up your CEO office.
00:02:38You can't be serious.
00:02:42Mom, it's me. I made it to New York.
00:02:45Daisy, they found a kidney donor for your father, but the surgery and recovery will cost at least $100,000.
00:02:51If we can't pay by next week, they'll give the donor to someone else.
00:02:55Mom, don't panic. I'll figure something out. I promise.
00:03:05Sir, I accept your proposal.
00:03:07That was quick. So what's the price?
00:03:11I need $100,000. Turn, I'll cooperate and fulfill the one year marriage.
00:03:15100 grand. Not bad. Saving a life really pays well, huh?
00:03:19Done. I'll transfer the money immediately as part of the marriage contract.
00:03:23Then we make this clear right now. Rule number one, this marriage stays private. No one finds out who you
00:03:27are.
00:03:27Two, you stay out of my personal life. Three, one year from now, you take the money and disappear.
00:03:32Deal.
00:03:35Are you both entering this marriage voluntarily?
00:03:39Yes.
00:03:41Yes.
00:03:46The contract is now in effect. Marcus will wire the money to you.
00:03:51Thank you. I'll report to work as soon as possible. Today's my first day. I can't be late.
00:03:56Work? Where do you work?
00:03:58Sterling Global. My childhood friend Caleb helped me get the job. It's just an entry-level janitor position, but I'll
00:04:03do my best.
00:04:06Get in. I'll drop you off on the way.
00:04:08Wow. This car rides really smooth. Must cost at least $50,000, right?
00:04:15Something like that.
00:04:16Ma'am, this custom colonon costs over half a million just in upgrades, and you think it's 50 grand?
00:04:28Hi, I'm Daisy Miller. I'm the new janitor starting today.
00:04:32Ugh. What's that smell?
00:04:34Let me guess. Kentucky? This is a global financial headquarters, not some farm.
00:04:39A job is a job. I'm here to work, not to impress anyone's nose.
00:04:43Got some attitude, huh?
00:04:46Good morning, Miss People Like This now. Where hire ya?
00:04:48Julian hates unprofessional staff.
00:04:50Brendan, keep an eye on her. Don't let her dirty the lobby floors.
00:04:53Julian?
00:04:53You think you can just say Mr. Sterling's name like that?
00:04:56He's the king of this building.
00:04:57And you are just dust on the floor.
00:05:01Julian.
00:05:01Julian.
00:05:02Same name as my husband?
00:05:04No way.
00:05:05Could he actually be?
00:05:13Wow, Daisy?
00:05:14Seriously?
00:05:15This is how you clean?
00:05:16Water all over the floor?
00:05:18What if a VIP slips?
00:05:19You planning to pay the lawsuit out of your janitor salary?
00:05:21I'll dry it right now.
00:05:24Oh my god, my shoes! Do you have any idea what these cost?
00:05:28I'm so sorry, Miss Victoria, I didn't mean to-
00:05:32Unbelievable. It's clear some people haven't learned proper manners.
00:05:37You can't even walk without making a mess.
00:05:40Those dirty hands of yours touched my shoes. You couldn't afford them in ten lifetimes.
00:05:45I said I was sorry. You can't just hit people.
00:05:49Can't? Honey, you ruined Miss Victoria's shoes.
00:05:51The fact that you still have a job right now is already a miracle.
00:05:54Get on your knees and wipe them clean.
00:05:56No.
00:05:57No?
00:05:58Brenda?
00:05:59Maybe she doesn't understand how things work here.
00:06:02Hm. Show her.
00:06:07Good morning, Mr. Sterling.
00:06:19Daisy?
00:06:21Julian.
00:06:24Who hit her?
00:06:30Julian.
00:06:31You actually know this... janitor?
00:06:35Sterling Global doesn't tolerate trash that bullies its own staff.
00:06:39Marcus.
00:06:41Remove this receptionate from Manhattan.
00:06:44Effective immediately.
00:06:45And make sure she never works in finance again.
00:06:48Mr. Sterling, please! I'm begging you!
00:06:52I didn't know she was connected to you!
00:06:56Get her out of my sight.
00:07:01Come with me.
00:07:10I kept my identity hidden for a reason.
00:07:14I wanted to see what kind of person you really were.
00:07:17Most people would have jumped at the chance to call themselves Mrs. Sterling.
00:07:21Used the name, pulled favors, climbed their way up.
00:07:27But you actually showed up here to mop floors.
00:07:30Mr. Sterling, do rich people really think poor people are born greedy?
00:07:34Like we're all just waiting for a shortcut?
00:07:37That's enough.
00:07:38You are legally Mrs. Sterling.
00:07:40I'm not letting my wife walk around in a janitor uniform.
00:07:43Assistant marketing manager.
00:07:44Starting tomorrow.
00:07:46No.
00:07:47No?
00:07:48I came to New York to earn money and save my dad.
00:07:51With my own hands.
00:07:53Not by marrying into money.
00:07:55Not by taking a shortcut someone handed to me.
00:07:59Maybe you think janitors are embarrassing.
00:08:00I don't.
00:08:01I work hard, I earn honestly, and I sleep just fine at night.
00:08:05If this marriage is supposed to stay secret, then let it stay secret.
00:08:09Completely.
00:08:10You'd rather scrub floors than sit in a manager's office?
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:16Mr. Sterling, for this one year, I'm your temporary wife.
00:08:20You don't need to control my life and no one else can shape who I'll become but myself.
00:08:36Daisy, come here.
00:08:38Mr. Sterling.
00:08:44What are you doing?
00:08:46Nothing.
00:08:47Just curious.
00:09:00I'm sorry.
00:09:01I need to get back to work.
00:09:12that's the girl the one who crossed victoria and somehow kept her job yeah and i heard she was in
00:09:16the ceo's office earlier come on nobody gets that kind of access for free small town girl from
00:09:21kentucky she's definitely playing some kind of game hey don't listen to them but you really
00:09:26should be careful around victoria why she's from the vance family old money big influence
00:09:32and she and mr sterling grew up together basically childhood sweethearts
00:09:42julian hold on your tie's crooked let me fix it
00:09:50see what i mean the whole company already treats her like the future mrs sterling
00:09:54three years ago julian was in a terrible car accident a mysterious girl saved him
00:09:59most people believe that girl was victoria so there's already someone in his heart
00:10:10chloe about what you said earlier the woman who saved his life was that really victoria
00:10:16honestly no idea but for the past three years victoria's been acting like she's the one
00:10:21and julian never corrected if anything he lets her
00:10:26daisy just hear me out don't fall for the ceo guys like him don't fall in love easily
00:10:33and if they do it's usually with the woman who saved their life
00:10:38so this marriage was never real to him just something he did to keep his grandfather happy

00:27:54the wager agreement is very clear the match only ends when one side has no one left who can compete
00:28:01your orchestra is already finished since this manager insists she comes from a prestigious musical family
00:28:08and insists she can compete then the match isn't over exactly thorn do you even dare face me
00:28:19fine since mr sterling is so eager to lose in person i won't stop you victoria go ahead
00:28:27watch closely daisy this is what real high-class music looks like girls who spend their lives holding

00:29:28why do you think she's gonna lose she's rushing she's sped up to dominate the tempo but now her
00:29:33breathing and finger controller out of sync she's forcing the rhythm she won't last much longer

00:43:04it's predictable
00:43:06pathetic even
00:43:07and if it were real
00:43:09if it wasn't a trap
00:43:10if it was just an accident

00:43:45the woman he loves
00:43:47that's the only one who matters to him
00:43:49to him
00:43:50you're just an accident

00:53:01there's no other reasonable expert
00:53:02figures
00:53:02a woman like that
00:53:03desperate greedy
00:53:04clawing for power
00:53:05would do anything to climb the corporate ladder
00:53:06to lie to someone like me
00:53:07cheap ambition all into your room base
00:53:08that a single night of carelessness
00:53:09would be enough to trap me
00:53:10what a joke
00:53:11pathetic really
00:53:12listen carefully marcus
00:53:13contact the best private hospital in the city
00:53:16make the arrangements
00:53:16no questions asked
00:53:17if she's pregnant

00:53:21i want it handled
00:53:22immediately
00:53:22no delays
00:53:23no excuses
00:53:24sir
00:53:24if she asks for compensation
00:53:26if she demands a settlement
00:53:27then give her the money
00:53:28write whatever check she wants
00:53:29ten thousand
00:53:29a hundred thousand more
00:53:30just get her out of new york

00:53:36not for a second
00:53:37understood
00:53:39cheap
00:53:40dirty
00:53:42disposable
00:53:43a gold digging liar
00:53:45so this is what i am to you
00:53:49just someone you can use for one night
00:53:51then erase whenever you want
00:53:59i won't let you touch him
00:54:01i won't let you hurt my baby
00:54:09well well manager daisy
00:54:11you look like you've seen a ghost
00:54:14mr julian just called me into his office
00:54:16asked me a lot of very personal questions
00:54:19looks like that manager title of yours
00:54:21is about to go to someone with a little more value
00:54:23someone who actually matters to the ceo
00:54:26see this
00:54:27this is what the boss has been looking for
00:54:29the clue to the woman from that night
00:54:30daisy
00:54:31you probably wouldn't even get close to jewelry like this in your lifetime
00:54:33you're just a farm girl after all
00:54:35tiffany
00:54:36you really think a fake piece of jewelry is going to win you his heart
00:54:39you have no idea what kind of abyss you're walking into
00:54:42julian isn't someone you can manipulate
00:54:44abyss
00:54:44still better than being a person like you
00:54:46someone who never even got through the door
00:54:48you think he cares about you
00:54:49you're just a temporary toy to him
00:54:50when i become mrs sterling
00:54:52i'll personally send you back to your little kentucky farm to feed pigs
00:54:55you'll never set foot in manhattan again
00:54:58mrs sterling
00:54:59good luck with that
00:55:01hope you keep smiling this confidently
00:55:02when you realize what you've gotten yourself into
00:55:08so julian got the wrong person
00:55:09he thinks tiffany was the one in his room that night
00:55:12the one who left the earring
00:55:13the one he's been searching for
00:55:14so that's the truth
00:55:16because he thinks it's tiffany's baby
00:55:18he can destroy it without even blinking
00:55:21in his world people like us don't matter
00:55:23not even our lives
00:55:26nothing is more important than the sterling name than his pride
00:55:31tiffany this is the last time i'm asking
