00:00:08Are you sure?
00:00:12I am your son's ex-girlfriend.
00:00:14That doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
00:00:17I'm the only woman I've ever really wanted.
00:00:35Dad, Carissa, what the fuck?
00:00:39Babe, babe, babe.
00:00:42Nicole is just a friend.
00:00:43Oh, so we can sleep with friends now?
00:00:45Men have needs, and you're the one who will not put out till marriage.
00:00:50That gives you permission to sleep with my roommate?
00:00:53Fuck you, you selfish prick. We're done.
00:00:54What?
00:00:58Congrats on taking out the trash.
00:01:01I'm starting work at his dad's company tomorrow.
00:01:03I mean, maybe I should just resign.
00:01:05Okay, okay, chill.
00:01:06It's not like you cheated your way in. You earned that spot.
00:01:10Yeah, I guess so.
00:01:28Okay, I'm all for a rebound. You know that, okay?
00:01:31But that guy? Sketchy vibes.
00:01:37Never know unless I try, right?
00:01:45Sorry. Private area.
00:01:47Looking for him?
00:01:49It's all right. I'm go.
00:01:58I don't believe we know each other.
00:02:00You let me in? Doesn't that mean you want to know me?
00:02:06Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
00:02:08Spill champagne on strangers often.
00:02:11Only when I'm nervous?
00:02:14It's got you so nervous.
00:02:17Probably you.
00:02:21I better get cleaned up.
00:02:37Look who found me. Coincidence?
00:02:40More like fate.
00:02:42Walk away, kid. Before you get burned.
00:02:46You didn't even ask if I liked getting burned.
00:02:51I warned you.
00:02:53You asked for danger.
00:02:56Now you're mine.
00:02:58Is that a threat?
00:02:59Or opponents?
00:03:24Oh, God. I met out with a stranger last night.
00:03:28Oh, God. I met out with a stranger last night.
00:03:34Good morning.
00:03:35Sleep well?
00:03:37D-did we?
00:03:38Don't worry. Nothing happened.
00:03:40You're still young.
00:03:42Didn't want to give you any regrets.
00:03:44But then, what about my clothes?
00:03:47Covered in puke.
00:03:48I don't want to die.
00:03:51Don't.
00:03:53And then you won't be able to wear the dress I picked out for you.
00:04:00CEO's here to meet the new hires today. You're late.
00:04:02Sorry, it's been a crazy morning.
00:04:07Hi.
00:04:09I'm Gabriel Storm.
00:04:11CEO of Storm Group.
00:04:15Nice to meet you.
00:04:18Clarissa Hartwood.
00:04:25I need a minute.
00:04:30Hold up.
00:04:31The guy you made out with last night is your boss?
00:04:34That's not all.
00:04:35He's Andre's dad.
00:04:36Oh, my God.
00:04:37Talk about drama.
00:04:39It's not funny.
00:04:40I'm freaking the fuck out right now.
00:04:45I gotta call you back.
00:04:51Um, what are you doing here?
00:04:54Waiting outside the bathroom.
00:04:56Figured I'd return the favor.
00:04:59You look very different during the day.
00:05:02Or is it just because I'm the boss?
00:05:04Nope.
00:05:05Just losing my damn mind because you're my ex's dad.
00:05:08Dad?
00:05:14I can't let Gabriel know that Andre and I dated.
00:05:16Dad, where are you?
00:05:20Ugh!
00:05:24So, just like that, while Carissa makes her return, huh?
00:05:29I just wanted to apologize.
00:05:32I totally screwed up last night.
00:05:35I wouldn't mind you screwing up more often.
00:05:38Excuse me.
00:05:45I know I fucked up, but I can't lose her, man.
00:05:49The second I saw her, I just knew.
00:05:52She's it.
00:05:53She is the one.
00:06:00I get that.
00:06:03Look, if you love her, I mean really love her, stop talking and show her.
00:06:11Yeah, you're right.
00:06:13Thanks, Dad.
00:06:19Sir?
00:06:21Shall I call for the card?
00:06:23That new hire, Clarissa.
00:06:25I want her address.
00:06:26Now.
00:06:32Jesus.
00:06:34What happened to you?
00:06:36Jesus, what happened to you?
00:06:39Shower braces.
00:06:40The repairman will be here eventually.
00:06:42Maybe I can help.
00:06:44Mind?
00:06:45Um, come on in.
00:06:58I should do it.
00:07:16Thank you, Mr. Storm.
00:07:20I should be thanking you.
00:07:22Why is that?
00:07:24For giving me the perfect excuse to get closer to you.
00:07:28Why am I doing this?
00:07:30I'm your boyfriend, not a damn handyman.
00:07:33Sorry.
00:07:34Handle it next time.
00:07:38Yeah, make sure you do.
00:07:40Why are you really here?
00:07:42Because I can't stop thinking about you.
00:07:45Every time I try to walk away, I feel like I'm losing a part of myself.
00:07:50Mr. Storm, are you being serious right now?
00:07:54Dead serious.
00:07:56I'm not blind.
00:07:58A woman like you probably has half the city begging for her attention.
00:08:02What I mean is, you're the most talented programmer I've ever seen.
00:08:06And I hope you'll stick it out here at Storm Group.
00:08:11I had to fight so hard to get into Storm Group, I am not gonna walk away because of this.
00:08:18Good.
00:08:21You're telling me that the CEO of Storm Group thinks you're out of his league?
00:08:29Girl, Gabriel isn't just mega rich. He's mega influential.
00:08:34That purse? Custom couture. To die for.
00:08:38But he's Andre's dad. It's a mess.
00:08:43Clarissa, can we talk?
00:08:45I know I messed up, but I am ready to change.
00:08:49Andre, it's over.
00:08:50It's not your problem anymore, so stop showing up like you still matter.
00:08:55Let's go.
00:08:59Gutsy move. Hitting on Gabriel Storm's girl?
00:09:03What?
00:09:07Clarissa, my dad?
00:09:11Figured you might want a getaway driver.
00:09:15I guess chivalry's alive and well, and drives a Range Rover.
00:09:21Jess, wait!
00:09:23Clarissa?
00:09:27Clarissa?
00:09:29Go, go, go, go.
00:09:30Go, go, go, go.
00:09:31Let's hit the road, Mr. Storm.
00:09:33Okay.
00:09:35Get in, get in, get in.
00:09:37Get in the car!
00:09:38Okay, okay, okay!
00:09:39Oh, oh, oh!
00:09:40Okay, drive!
00:09:42God damn it!
00:09:49You gonna walk to the door?
00:09:52Ooh, chilly.
00:09:55Yeah, sorry.
00:09:55Okay.
00:09:59Do you treat all your employees like this?
00:10:02Only the ones I'd bet a kingdom on.
00:10:05It reminds me.
00:10:07Take this.
00:10:09Consider this the start of something bigger.
00:10:14Storm Group Innovation Competition.
00:10:17The winner gets full backing on developing your own tech.
00:10:20The limit's no red tape.
00:10:22And I happen to believe you've got something bigger for the building.
00:10:25Why are you doing all this for me?
00:10:28You know, just trying to be your Prince Charming.
00:10:31Is it working?
00:10:34Maybe a little?
00:10:40Um, sorry.
00:10:46Um...
00:10:54Everything okay?
00:10:56Yeah, um...
00:10:57The drinks are just giving to me.
00:10:59Um...
00:11:01For the ride home, Mr. Storm.
00:11:03Get home safe.
00:11:12What the hell?
00:11:13How did you get in?
00:11:14Ah, relax.
00:11:15Relax.
00:11:16I just thought I'd drop by to see my girl.
00:11:18Your girl?
00:11:18You cheated on me, remember?
00:11:20This, whatever you thought we had, it's over.
00:11:23I'm not clear.
00:11:24I know you still care.
00:11:25I mean, what?
00:11:26You hooked up with my dad to get even?
00:11:29He's my boss.
00:11:31That's it.
00:11:33Really?
00:11:35Cause the bartender said he saw you two kissing.
00:11:38He's just gonna say, can you imagine that?
00:11:40So you heard gossip and decided that I'm the problem?
00:11:43Get over yourself!
00:11:43I know how bad you went across the competition.
00:11:46But forget my dad.
00:11:48I can get you a win when-
00:11:52So that's what you think of me?
00:11:54Someone who takes shortcuts?
00:11:56I didn't mean it like that.
00:11:57Get out!
00:11:59I'm not asking twice.
00:12:01I'll call the cops.
00:12:02I'll call the cops.
00:12:03Mm-hmm.
00:12:06Please.
00:12:55It's past midnight.
00:12:57Please tell me this isn't just a cake drop-off.
00:13:00Guilty.
00:13:02Figured some sugar therapy might do the trick.
00:13:05Sugar doesn't fix everything, you know?
00:13:08Not every problem, but I'd spend forever trying it, but then I could be with you.
00:13:13I know you want competition bad, but forget my dad.
00:13:17I can get you a win way faster.
00:13:19Gabriel, I'm sorry.
00:13:22I can't.
00:13:25So that's where we land.
00:13:42Don't you have work?
00:13:44I quit.
00:13:45Oh, okay.
00:13:46What?
00:13:46Rewind.
00:13:47What the hell happened?
00:13:48Well, I can't even sit in the same room as Gabriel, so what's the point?
00:13:52Oh.
00:13:56You have a crush.
00:13:58What?
00:13:59No, ew.
00:14:00He's Andre's dad.
00:14:01I just...
00:14:02Okay, well, you've worked your ass off for that app.
00:14:05You need Storm Group's funding.
00:14:07Maybe I can just pitch to someone else.
00:14:09I mean, there's got to be other investors out there.
00:14:11We can always go find you one.
00:14:12This place is crawling with rich guys.
00:14:15I bet we can find you one that's hotter and writes bigger checks than Gabriel.
00:14:20Okay, I don't need a pretty face.
00:14:22I need someone who believes in my app.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:25Boss energy.
00:14:26Cool.
00:14:27You dance?
00:14:31Um...
00:14:31Okay, go, go, go.
00:14:33Have fun.
00:14:34Yes, I do.
00:14:34Yep.
00:14:35Have fun.
00:14:37Okay.
00:14:38You're kind of stiff for a girl at a bar.
00:14:40Just winding down.
00:14:41Long, long week.
00:14:42Then let me buy you a drink.
00:14:43I'll actually loosen you up.
00:14:45Something stronger.
00:15:00A little shy girl at?
00:15:02Or are you waiting for someone special?
00:15:04Um...
00:15:07If your hands ever wander on her again, I'll have them broken.
00:15:10Who the hell are you?
00:15:11The owner of this club.
00:15:12And she's not for you.
00:15:13Get lost.
00:15:19I'm not my boss anymore.
00:15:21Stay out of my business.
00:15:23Follow me.
00:15:27It doesn't matter if you leave Storm.
00:15:29I'm backing your app anyways.
00:15:32I don't need handouts.
00:15:34I can get the backing.
00:15:35I just need more time.
00:15:37Then use it wisely.
00:15:38No more trashy bars full of creeps with grabby hands.
00:15:42Didn't you forget?
00:15:43I like a little danger.
00:15:46I've seen what you're like when danger excites you.
00:15:49That back there, that wasn't it.
00:15:52This though, this feels more like her.
00:16:05I just got out of a mess.
00:16:07I don't want to pull you into the damage that someone else did.
00:16:13I hate to see you cry.
00:16:16Look, if I'm making things more difficult, I'll back off.
00:16:20Just don't quit Storm over me.
00:16:23I'll think about it.
00:16:24Okay.
00:16:28Wait.
00:16:32The next time some loser tries to put his hands on you, will you call me?
00:16:36I didn't expect it to go down like that, and I don't need your help.
00:16:39You don't have to need my help.
00:16:41But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be the one that you called.
00:17:01Who the hell hurt her like that?
00:17:09Ms. Hartwood should be here by now, no?
00:17:11Yeah, she should be.
00:17:13I'm sorry.
00:17:15I made it, didn't I?
00:17:17Right on time.
00:17:18Hi.
00:17:19Hi, I'm Gabrielle Storm, CEO of Stormbrook.
00:17:23It's all yours.
00:17:26Hi, everyone.
00:17:28I'm Clarissa, the mind behind Onionverse.
00:17:33So this is going to be an AI personal assistant tool.
00:17:38Ms. Hartwood.
00:17:40Clever interface.
00:17:42Excellent work.
00:17:45How's your funding pipeline look?
00:17:47Storm Group is backing Onionverse.
00:17:50One million committed.
00:17:51You didn't have to do that.
00:17:52We invest in brilliance.
00:17:54And you happen to wear it quite well.
00:17:56She certainly does, doesn't she?
00:17:58Great stuff.
00:18:00Congratulations.
00:18:00Sorry, boys.
00:18:07Oh, I didn't think it would rain.
00:18:13Weather didn't hold up, but the investments did.
00:18:16Come on.
00:18:17Take you home.
00:18:28Come on.
00:18:29Um, sorry.
00:18:31Why didn't you wake me up?
00:18:32That had been a crime.
00:18:34You looked peaceful.
00:18:37Uh, this isn't my house.
00:18:39Nope.
00:18:40It's a private event.
00:18:41And I'm short one date.
00:18:43So, what do you say?
00:18:45Will you be mine for the night?
00:18:46Shh.
00:18:48So, what do you say?
00:18:50Will you be mine for the night?
00:18:54Shh.
00:18:58Shh.
00:19:04Uh, are you sure I won't embarrass you?
00:19:08I'm not exactly red carpet ready.
00:19:12Never.
00:19:13I'm honored.
00:19:15You could have given me a heads up.
00:19:17I would have worn something nicer.
00:19:18Alex, you're just dropping me off.
00:19:23Let's go.
00:19:26Let's go.
00:19:29Is that Gabriel's dorm?
00:19:32With a date?
00:19:33No way.
00:19:34Since when does he bring any more?
00:19:36Oh, whoever she is, she's not just a fling.
00:19:42Clarissa, what the hell are you doing here?
00:19:44I asked her to come.
00:19:45You two know each other?
00:19:50We went to college together.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:52Old friends.
00:19:53It's been a while since I've seen your money.
00:19:55If I borrow for a minute.
00:19:56Come on.
00:19:56Go ahead.
00:20:03So that's it now?
00:20:04Show up on my dad's arm and pretend it's nothing.
00:20:07In fact, my work.
00:20:08End of story.
00:20:09Sure.
00:20:09It's just work.
00:20:10But from where I'm standing, it looks a hell of a lot more personal.
00:20:13Maybe it is more.
00:20:14Maybe he saw something that you never did.
00:20:17Just leave me alone.
00:20:21Did you hear all that?
00:20:23Did you want me to?
00:20:28I don't eavesdrop.
00:20:30Come on.
00:20:31Dinner's waiting.
00:20:34Raspberries are my favorite.
00:20:36Aren't you glad you came?
00:20:37Maybe.
00:20:42Cabernet.
00:20:43Still your favorite.
00:20:49Hydration never lies.
00:20:51So, we're going to be.
00:21:01You take such good care of your employees, Mr. Storm.
00:21:04Just this one.
00:21:12I don't know if I cut in.
00:21:19I don't know if I cut in.
00:21:34I don't know if I cut in.
00:21:35Don't worry.
00:21:36It's just a dance.
00:21:37It's not a landline.
00:21:38You keep pushing me away.
00:21:40Is it because of Andre?
00:21:44Excuse me.
00:21:45Miss Hartwood, I got to tell you, I was completely blown away by Onionverse.
00:21:50It's amazing.
00:21:51Do you have a moment to talk?
00:21:53Of course.
00:21:55Excuse us.
00:21:56Of course.
00:21:58So, uh, you think you got it all figured out, Dad, huh?
00:22:02Meaning?
00:22:03Nothing.
00:22:04Just good luck.
00:22:08I've got a London project coming up.
00:22:10You'll be good for it.
00:22:11Ah, so?
00:22:12She's going to send me across the country?
00:22:13I'm going to give you an opportunity to prove you're more than just my son.
00:22:17Hit it by Baz.
00:22:17You're free to refuse.
00:22:19You're going to lose everything.
00:22:21Don't forget who put that silver spoon in your mouth, boy.
00:22:34Every fairy tale needs a better ending.
00:22:36What?
00:22:37When did you?
00:22:38Right around the time I decided I wanted you here with me tonight.
00:22:43Hold this.
00:22:45Okay, okay.
00:22:45I got you.
00:22:46What are you?
00:22:48Glass slippers, princess.
00:22:54May I?
00:22:56Of course.
00:23:03Your carriage awaits.
00:23:07Should I tell him about Andre?
00:23:09I'm sending Andre to London.
00:23:10Was that your choice?
00:23:12He needs to learn to stand on his own.
00:23:14Thought some distance might help.
00:23:16And I'm sorry he may have said something out of line.
00:23:19He didn't.
00:23:21Then why won't you look at me?
00:23:26You're here.
00:23:28What?
00:23:29Thought I was taking you to some hotel with mood lighting and questionable intentions?
00:23:33What?
00:23:34No, no, no, of course not.
00:23:40Still running, still stunning.
00:23:48Congrats!
00:23:49What is this?
00:23:50Onionverse is officially one of our spotlight projects.
00:23:53You're headed to the New York Tech Summit.
00:23:54I've got all the good New York hookups.
00:23:57I'll show you the ropes.
00:23:59Let me tag along.
00:24:00I charm investors in my sleep.
00:24:02Larissa won't need a crowd.
00:24:04I'm going with her.
00:24:06Was this all a setup?
00:24:07To get me alone in New York?
00:24:12The summit's cutthroat.
00:24:13You're going to need someone with weight in your corner.
00:24:15No team.
00:24:17No assistants, just me.
00:24:20What?
00:24:21Nervous about a little business trip with your not-so-boss?
00:24:24Or scared a little spark might happen?
00:24:31Not nervous.
00:24:32Then it's settled.
00:24:34What?
00:24:35Only one room left?
00:24:37I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:24:38We're all booked up, but the Skyline Suite has two beds.
00:24:41It's plenty of space.
00:24:42Great.
00:24:43We'll take it.
00:24:44Uh, are you sure?
00:24:46Come on, Clarissa.
00:24:47You think the other hotels in this city are going to have an extra room at this hour?
00:24:50I won't cross any lines.
00:24:52Promise.
00:25:12I was distracted.
00:25:22You look tense.
00:25:23Me?
00:25:25Pfft.
00:25:26No.
00:25:27Totally chill.
00:25:28You want to run through your pitch?
00:25:31Promise I won't buy you.
00:25:33Sure.
00:25:34Good afternoon.
00:25:36My name is Clarissa Hartwood.
00:25:38I'm from Storm Group, and today I would like to introduce you to Onionverse, a product that
00:25:44I believe will shake up the industry.
00:25:46One second.
00:25:48Um.
00:25:48Shake up the industry?
00:25:50That won't work.
00:25:51Investors want data.
00:25:52Give them numbers.
00:25:54Paint the future.
00:25:55You've got the edge, Clarissa.
00:25:57Use it.
00:25:58Walk in there like Barry said yes.
00:26:01You've got everything it takes.
00:26:03You just have to believe it.
00:26:07Oh, would you look at the time?
00:26:10It's definitely bedtime.
00:26:12Big day tomorrow.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:25Here.
00:26:30You'll feel better soon.
00:26:37Maybe I won't talk.
00:26:39Leave.
00:26:44I'm not going anywhere.
00:26:57Were you there all night?
00:26:58I've got the worst place to crash.
00:27:01Especially next to you.
00:27:06Thank you for taking care of me.
00:27:14You.
00:27:16Hey.
00:27:17Caller's coming back.
00:27:18Progress.
00:27:20I'll get you some breakfast.
00:27:27Thank you so much.
00:27:29Didn't think they were letting the amateurs in this year.
00:27:38Trying to lock in investors?
00:27:40Kind of bold coming from someone who can't even keep a man.
00:27:45Invest in that?
00:27:46I've seen more promise in expired yogurt.
00:27:48Yeah.
00:27:49Her app isn't the only thing crashing and burning around here.
00:27:52I came with an actual product.
00:27:54You came with lip gloss and backup dancers.
00:27:57You might want to try using this sometime.
00:28:00You little bitch.
00:28:03Clarissa.
00:28:04Everything all right?
00:28:08You little bitch.
00:28:10Clarissa.
00:28:11Everything all right?
00:28:12Isn't that Gabriel?
00:28:13The CEO of Storm Group?
00:28:15He always flies solo.
00:28:17How does she know him?
00:28:19Clarissa Hartwood.
00:28:20Storm Group's top developer.
00:28:22And brain behind Onionverse.
00:28:24Just so we're clear,
00:28:25I don't entertain slander.
00:28:27Especially when it's geared towards my own team.
00:28:30Come on.
00:28:31I've got a few top tier investors waiting for you.
00:28:37How the hell did she back him?
00:28:42This isn't over yet.
00:28:43Now presenting Onionverse's founder,
00:28:47Miss Clarissa Hartwood.
00:29:02Yikes.
00:29:03She looks lost.
00:29:05Storm Group must be getting desperate.
00:29:07Another flashy app with no backbone.
00:29:11You've got everything it takes.
00:29:12You just have to believe it.
00:29:15And you've got the edge, Clarissa.
00:29:17Use it.
00:29:18Walk in there like they already said yes.
00:29:24Good afternoon.
00:29:26My name is Clarissa Hartwood.
00:29:28And today I'm going to show you why Onionverse isn't just an app.
00:29:31It's the future.
00:29:43I'm going to show you why Onionverse is here.
00:29:44Clarissa, that was incredible.
00:29:47I'm so proud of you.
00:29:48Mr. Storm, the investors are ready for you.
00:29:54You seem good as new.
00:29:55Gabriel's sleepless night was worth it.
00:29:58Huh?
00:29:59He didn't sleep at all?
00:30:01He looked after you all night long.
00:30:04I've never seen him like this before.
00:30:06He's always been like that.
00:30:16May I?
00:30:16Of course.
00:30:27You two make a good pair.
00:30:29I'm rooting for you.
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:31I think so too.
00:30:34Oh man.
00:30:35Hi.
00:30:36Hey.
00:30:37See you.
00:30:38See you too.
00:30:44Cheers.
00:30:46So he's everyone's Prince Charming, huh?
00:30:48And here I thought I was special.
00:30:51Clarissa.
00:30:52Head back.
00:30:53I'll catch up with you later.
00:31:25Oh my God!
00:31:27Gabriel!
00:31:30Oh my God!
00:31:32Gabriel!
00:31:33My bad.
00:31:34I didn't see a thing.
00:31:35Not even that adorable freckle on me.
00:31:37Don't you dare to finish that sentence.
00:31:39Paint your job off the floor and get out!
00:31:46This isn't a public bathhouse.
00:31:48How about a little privacy?
00:31:49Hey, you left the door wide open.
00:31:51Practically gave me a VIP pass to your little piece of show.
00:31:53The lock was busted.
00:31:55You were the one that was taking your sweet time enjoying the view.
00:31:59Listen.
00:32:00It's gone.
00:32:01Alright?
00:32:01Totally wiped.
00:32:02Let's just call it short-term memory loss.
00:32:05Oh yeah?
00:32:05Then what are you hiding under your jacket with your short-term memory loss?
00:32:10Oh!
00:32:11Wow!
00:32:11Let's just put that right back where it belongs.
00:32:14Oh!
00:32:15Oh!
00:32:16For the record, I have been trying to take it slow.
00:32:19You've been making it damn near impossible.
00:32:23If I didn't know any better,
00:32:26I'd say you're dying to kiss me right now.
00:32:45Tell me you feel it, too.
00:32:48Tell me you're not pretending.
00:32:52I'll-I'll get it.
00:32:55Um...
00:32:56Great news, ma'am.
00:32:57Another room has opened up, so feel free to move on it.
00:33:00Oh.
00:33:01Great.
00:33:02Thanks.
00:33:09I guess you should get packed up.
00:33:12This is a work trip after all.
00:33:14We should keep it professional.
00:33:16You want me to stay?
00:33:18Just say the word.
00:33:21You should go.
00:33:33There is no tea.
00:33:34I stayed up in bed all night thinking about him.
00:33:37Alone.
00:33:39Good morning, princess.
00:33:42Sleep well?
00:33:43Yeah, totally like a baby.
00:33:46Bullshit.
00:33:47Girl, you're so DeLulu.
00:33:48Just admit it.
00:33:49You're wokey obsessed with him.
00:33:53I got you your favorite latte.
00:33:55Oh, thank you.
00:33:57Listen, about last night.
00:33:58Last night?
00:34:00Who even remembers last night?
00:34:02Let's just pretend that it never happened.
00:34:03Okay, cool.
00:34:06You sure?
00:34:07What if I don't want to?
00:34:12Down, boy.
00:34:13Or I will tank your investment.
00:34:15What do you think about that?
00:34:16You didn't think that was coming.
00:34:19Feisty.
00:34:22Come on.
00:34:24Tell us what really went down on your trip.
00:34:26It wasn't all spreadsheets and PowerPoints, right?
00:34:29Anything interesting happen?
00:34:38Tell me you feel it, too.
00:34:40Tell me you're not pretending.
00:34:43What can I say?
00:34:44Business as usual.
00:34:46No crazy plot twists.
00:34:50This is Carolyn Walker.
00:34:52Partner at Venture X.
00:34:53Can't blame him.
00:34:54She's got the whole blonde bombshell thing going on.
00:34:59This is Carolyn Walker.
00:35:00Partner at Venture X.
00:35:02One of the top firms in the game.
00:35:03We're very fortunate to have her on board.
00:35:07Onionverse was the talk of the summit.
00:35:09Tell me more.
00:35:11Sure.
00:35:15Admit it.
00:35:16You're totally vibing with him.
00:35:17And you know what?
00:35:19I ship it.
00:35:21Fine, but honestly, it doesn't even matter.
00:35:24Pretty sure he's already moved on.
00:35:25Oh, okay.
00:35:26Just shoot your shot.
00:35:28You never know until you try.
00:35:32You know what?
00:35:34You're right.
00:35:35Screw it.
00:35:36I'm sick of pretending.
00:35:37I'll drink of that.
00:35:38I'll drink of that.
00:35:51Uh.
00:35:53Looking for Gabriel?
00:35:54He's tied up right now.
00:35:56Yeah, work stuff.
00:35:58No biggie yet.
00:35:59If he's busy, I'll just...
00:36:04Who's that?
00:36:05I already told you.
00:36:07No booty calls at my place.
00:36:08Oh, it was Clarissa.
00:36:10She's got the wrong idea.
00:36:12Didn't realize my cousin's such a heartbreak.
00:36:14What?
00:36:17Clarissa, wait.
00:36:20What the hell is this, Gabriel?
00:36:22One minute you're all over me and the next nothing?
00:36:24It's like I'm invisible.
00:36:26I'm sorry.
00:36:28I can't push you into something you're not ready for.
00:36:31I don't care about you too damn much.
00:36:33This game we're playing, it's killing me.
00:36:36I can't do it anymore.
00:36:38I want you.
00:36:41Now.
00:36:58Stay with me tonight.
00:37:00I know.
00:37:17Wait.
00:37:21What's wrong? Cold feet?
00:37:23The opposite, actually.
00:37:25It's your first time.
00:37:27Oh, okay.
00:37:29It's fine.
00:37:30But it doesn't mean we can't have some fun.
00:37:45Gabriel.
00:37:56Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.
00:37:58Breakfast is served.
00:38:00You are like a walking Pinterest board.
00:38:03Seriously, what can't you do?
00:38:06For you?
00:38:08Stop it.
00:38:12But, you know, I'll leave a few things for the imagination.
00:38:18Well, I'm having this birthday dinner tomorrow.
00:38:22Come with me. I want to introduce you to my family and friends.
00:38:25As my girlfriend.
00:38:29You want to introduce me as your girlfriend?
00:38:33Everyone's going to talk. I mean, I dated his son. It could ruin everything for him.
00:38:40I'm sorry. I'm just... I'm not ready to meet everyone yet.
00:38:45Of course.
00:38:49I used to lie awake all night long, feeling like the world was spinning too fast.
00:38:55Then I met you.
00:38:56Now I feel like things have slowed down.
00:38:59Well, this isn't about what other people think. It's about us.
00:39:05Come with me. I really want you there.
00:39:08Alright.
00:39:21Nice try. Aren't you forgetting whose birthday it is?
00:39:25Who needs a birthday when I can just spoil the woman who makes every day feel like one?
00:39:29Get ready to take that back. Because I have a surprise for you.
00:39:35Okay, we can go forward.
00:39:38Super close. Super close. Okay, okay.
00:39:44What is all this?
00:39:47Just some Clarissa magic. Now you can sleep soundly even when I'm not here.
00:39:51Oh, Clarissa.
00:39:53What did I ever do to deserve you?
00:39:58Gabriel, I need to come clean about something.
00:40:00Andre and I were... we dated.
00:40:05Tell me something I don't know.
00:40:07Why didn't you say anything?
00:40:10Doesn't that freak you out? I mean, I wouldn't blame you.
00:40:13Clarissa, I care about you. Not about who you've been with.
00:40:16I was his girlfriend.
00:40:18You aren't anybody's anything. You're just... you.
00:40:22The most intelligent, most beautiful woman I've ever met.
00:40:26And all the stuff that happened before that doesn't matter.
00:40:31It's just you and me now.
00:40:49Are you sure?
00:40:51I am your son's ex-girlfriend.
00:40:53That doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
00:40:55You're the only woman I've ever really wanted.
00:40:56I'm your son.
00:40:58I'm your son.
00:41:09I'm your son.
00:41:10I'm your son.
00:41:10I'm your son.
00:41:11I'm your son.
00:41:11Dad, Clarissa, what the fuck?
00:41:16Oh, this is Rich.
00:41:18You're really harsh-cruing my dad.
00:41:20What's next? You're gonna hop in bed with my fucking grandpa?
00:41:23All right. Watch it, Andre.
00:41:26Newsflash! This is my ex-girlfriend, you fucking old man!
00:41:29I know. Lower your voice.
00:41:31Oh, you know? Then why the hell are you feeling you're up for, then?
00:41:38This isn't just some flame.
00:41:40So drop the temper tantrum.
00:41:42I'm not walking away from her.
00:41:44You had your shot. You blew it.
00:41:47This isn't over.
00:41:49This isn't over.
00:41:55This is exactly what I was afraid of.
00:41:59No, no, no. Listen to me. Listen to me.
00:42:01I'm not gonna let anybody come between us.
00:42:04Okay? Not now. Not ever.
00:42:11Drinking alone tonight?
00:42:13It's like somebody got dumped for good.
00:42:17I wish that was it.
00:42:20The bitch hopped in the bed with Michael Mann.
00:42:22Check it out.
00:42:24Already hard-launching their relationship.
00:42:26Shut up.
00:42:28Tomorrow's his birthday, and we'll make sure it's one he never forgets.
00:42:48I'd like to say thank you all for coming.
00:42:50It's an honor to be celebrating my birthday with you.
00:42:53Especially because I have an announcement to make.
00:42:55Clarissa and I have decided to make our relationship official.
00:43:03How touching.
00:43:05Congrats.
00:43:05No, you guys are so cute, it makes me sick.
00:43:08Andre, what are you doing?
00:43:10You're happy with my leftovers, Dad?
00:43:12I mean, way to keep it in the family.
00:43:15No, anyways, I just wanna say,
00:43:17here's to my ex, my dad.
00:43:20I wish you all the best,
00:43:21but I doubt it'll last until your next birthday.
00:43:25Never should've come, I'm sorry.
00:43:28Clarissa is with me now.
00:43:30What's behind us doesn't matter.
00:43:32Only what's ahead.
00:43:34You don't need a living high.
00:43:36You're right where you belong.
00:43:38Here, with me.
00:43:57I'm sorry I ruined your party.
00:43:59Ruined?
00:44:03Not a chance.
00:44:05Honestly, tonight's one I'll never forget.
00:44:10Because...
00:44:11I've got the best present I could ever ask for right here.
00:44:16Gabriel...
00:44:27Storm groups in free fall, and you're hooking up on the couch.
00:44:31Real professional, Gabe.
00:44:33What are you talking about?
00:44:36You have no idea what's going on, do you?
00:44:42Gabriel Storm, CEO of Storm Group, has been dating his son's ex-girlfriend, causing an uproar in the business world.
00:44:49This scandal has tanked Storm Group's stock price.
00:44:52And the cherry on top?
00:44:53We lost 8% market and counting.
00:44:56Make the call, Gabe.
00:44:58Your son's ex?
00:45:00Or your company?
00:45:01Should be a no-brainer.
00:45:03No one tells me how or when to make a decision.
00:45:10Stay calm.
00:45:11Alright, I'm gonna handle everything.
00:45:13Head home for now.
00:45:25That expose was just chef's kiss.
00:45:28I mean, the photos, the camera loves you, such a natural.
00:45:32Having fun?
00:45:33Spoiler alert, I'm not giving up on Gabriel over a few headlines.
00:45:36Oh yeah?
00:45:37I mean, it's getting pretty messy.
00:45:39How much trust do you have him not to just give up on you?
00:45:44Gabriel loves me.
00:45:45More than you ever did, he wouldn't.
00:45:48Oh man, you really think you have a chance?
00:45:50No, no, no. My dad is a businessman, not a charity.
00:45:53He will never give up his life's work for some slut like you.
00:46:22Andre was lying.
00:46:25He has to be. I mean, Gabriel wouldn't throw me away like that.
00:46:29Right?
00:46:37Hello.
00:46:41Hello. The number you have dialed is busy. Please call again later.
00:46:48I know how much pressure you're under.
00:46:51I won't hold it against you.
00:46:56So you're telling me the family biz is being a huge douche?
00:47:00That checks out. Red flags all around.
00:47:03Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. I mean, maybe he's just, I don't know, busy?
00:47:07Too busy to respond to a text? Girl, my dog responds faster than that.
00:47:12That she's blind.
00:47:14But Storm Group's in a lot of trouble.
00:47:17I mean, the stock prices are still dropping.
00:47:19The board's breathing down his neck. He's probably swamped. I mean...
00:47:27Ah!
00:47:34Hey, are you okay, Car?
00:47:37Take it easy.
00:47:49Hey, babe. Don't waste tears on him. He's straight up trash.
00:47:55Speak of a devil.
00:48:06Miss Hardwood? Mr. Storm asked me to take you to the ER.
00:48:11I'll pass. And you know what? Tell him to lose my number.
00:48:22Come in.
00:48:28Good morning.
00:48:30I have to talk to you about work.
00:48:34Oh, busy. Bring it up at the board meeting.
00:48:40This is a complete PR disaster. There is no way to spin this.
00:48:45Clarissa might be a star employee.
00:48:48But this circus is dragging us all down.
00:48:53Can we really afford to keep her around?
00:49:11I'll address Storm Group's recent controversies at tomorrow's press conference.
00:49:16You'll all get an explanation at that time.
00:49:24Clarissa, can you...
00:49:25Mr. Storm.
00:49:25We need your eyes on the new financial report.
00:49:34Clarissa, please just let me explain.
00:49:39You want to explain?
00:49:41Save it for the board.
00:49:42I've heard enough.
00:49:43Clarissa, please.
00:49:45I don't have time for this.
00:49:46If it's not about work, then just drop it.
00:49:51Clarissa...
00:49:58Clarissa, listen. I only...
00:50:00I only iced you out so the board wouldn't give you a hard time.
00:50:03Please believe me.
00:50:04Looking for a thank you?
00:50:05I don't want to be someone you update when it's convenient.
00:50:08I wanted to fight this together.
00:50:10I'll give you the answer you need at tomorrow's press conference.
00:50:13I promise.
00:50:15We're secret schemes, huh?
00:50:18Forget it.
00:50:19Maybe we just won't let be together.
00:50:21Yeah.
00:50:25I made my position very clear to the board.
00:50:27I'm not giving up on Onionverse.
00:50:29Or you.
00:50:31I just can't get it through your head, Gabriel.
00:50:34I wanted to be by your side.
00:50:36Not left in the dark.
00:50:49What are you still doing here?
00:50:51Didn't you watch the press conference?
00:50:52It's literally the last thing that I want to do right now.
00:50:56Sorry, not sorry. You have to watch this.
00:50:59Storm Group will terminate its investment in Onionverse.
00:51:03But I will personally continue its funding going forward.
00:51:06My time as CEO may be over.
00:51:09But I need to protect what really matters to me.
00:51:27We need to talk.
00:51:31Are you crazy?
00:51:33Stepping down as CEO.
00:51:35I mean, what were you thinking?
00:51:36Storm Group has been my baby for years.
00:51:39That was before I met you.
00:51:41Now there's something else, someone else, that I want to protect.
00:51:47You're a jerk.
00:51:49A stubborn, insane jerk.
00:51:51But I love you so much.
00:51:55Clarissa.
00:51:57I'm so sorry.
00:51:59I pushed you away.
00:52:00And I thought I was protecting you.
00:52:02No more secrets.
00:52:03No more distancing.
00:52:05From now on, every obstacle, every challenge.
00:52:08Let's face them together.
00:52:10Clarissa Hartwood.
00:52:11Clarissa.
00:52:16Will you marry me?
00:52:19Will you marry me?
00:52:22Yes.
00:52:23A billion times yes, Gabriel.
00:52:24I love you.
00:52:34But tonight, I want more.
00:52:37I want to be yours.
00:52:39Completely.
00:52:51Are you absolutely sure?
00:52:54When my last minute changes, to say the word, I can still be the gentleman.
00:52:59No claim.
00:53:01No pretending.
00:53:02We want you.
00:53:03All of you.
00:53:16Good morning, Princess.
00:53:17Coffee's hot.
00:53:19I figured you could use a recharge after last night.
00:53:21Oh, you.
00:53:25You know, I don't even need any sugar in my coffee when you're around.
00:53:32Sorry, am I interrupting something?
00:53:36Andre.
00:53:40My dad.
00:53:41My ex.
00:53:42Isn't this a perfect little reunion?
00:53:45I can't think of a better way to kick things off.
00:53:49What do you want?
00:53:50You thought you were going to beat me.
00:53:52The show is about to come up and...
00:53:56Oh, you're about to lose everything.
00:54:06Mr. Stormer.
00:54:07We have reports of unauthorized company transfers to your private account.
00:54:11I'm going to need you to come with me.
00:54:13That's impossible, sir.
00:54:14There must be some kind of mistake.
00:54:16Don't worry.
00:54:17I'm going to get this handled.
00:54:19I'll be back soon.
00:54:21Andre, even for you, this is a new law.
00:54:24Gee, thanks, Dad.
00:54:25Gabriel, wait!
00:54:29No, Gabriel applied for that money for Onionverse.
00:54:32He'd never misuse company funds.
00:54:34I mean, you know that.
00:54:35Can't you testify to that?
00:54:36We've got bigger problems, Clarissa.
00:54:38Storm Group's in crisis mode.
00:54:40You've resigned.
00:54:42Stay out of it.
00:54:47Need some help?
00:54:54Oh, what's wrong, Clarissa?
00:54:55You don't need a hand?
00:54:56I thought you'd love to use men like tissues.
00:55:01Pathetic brat.
00:55:02I don't know what I ever saw in you.
00:55:10You think you can just humiliate me and get away with it?
00:55:13It's been a long time.
00:55:16Mr. Hartwood, Mr. Storm sent me.
00:55:19Please follow me.
00:55:32For Mr. Storm.
00:55:34A house, a plane ticket, and a credit card.
00:55:37Did he know this would happen?
00:55:39He had a feeling.
00:55:41Told me to make sure you'd be safe.
00:55:52Clarissa, if you're watching this, it means things have gone south.
00:55:56I knew Andre would pull something.
00:55:58He is my son, after all.
00:56:00I'll make sure this is just a bad chapter for us.
00:56:03Wait for me.
00:56:04Stay strong.
00:56:06Because nothing can stop me from marrying you.
00:56:16Be strong.
00:56:19You have to come home, okay?
00:56:23I promise.
00:56:40That's much better.
00:56:43It's chilly outside.
00:56:44I don't want you catching a cold, my princess.
00:56:53Richard!
00:56:58Here.
00:56:59Here you go.
00:57:04I'm gonna go check on the heater for you, okay?
00:57:14Good morning, sweetheart.
00:57:17Coffee's ready.
00:57:23Car's waiting downstairs.
00:57:25Ready when you are, Clarissa.
00:57:30No.
00:57:31No, no.
00:57:31I can't do this.
00:57:32I'm not running.
00:57:42Andre.
00:57:43I want to meet.
00:57:45Now.
00:58:01You're here to take me home.
00:58:02I'm sorry to brush your bubble, Dad.
00:58:04I just got out of the plants.
00:58:06You've lost everything, Gabriel.
00:58:08What's left for us now?
00:58:10So it was all just a lie?
00:58:12No, we're done here.
00:58:14Go enjoy your freedom, old man.
00:58:22You're hurting me.
00:58:24You're hurting me.
00:58:25Let me go!
00:58:29Oh-ho-ho!
00:58:32What a performance.
00:58:33It was Oscar-worthy even.
00:58:34I mean, no, they really ate that out.
00:58:36Well, now be a good girl and go ready for our wedding.
00:58:40Keep dreaming.
00:58:42I'd rather die than marry an asshole like you!
00:58:45When that game...
00:58:46You pissed me off.
00:58:48And he'll be back in cuffs before you could even blink.
00:58:51It's up to you, sweetheart.
00:58:55It's simple.
00:58:57Just do everything I say, or he's as good as God.
00:59:07Miss Hartwood, your checkup report is ready.
00:59:10You're pregnant.
00:59:13I'm...pregnant?
00:59:14That's right. Congratulations.
00:59:16Please check your first prenatal checkup ASAP.
00:59:23That looked gorgeous.
00:59:26It's just still too covered up.
00:59:28Gotta show some more skin.
00:59:32Yeah.
00:59:33Yeah.
00:59:34See, this one works.
00:59:36Hm?
00:59:37Way hotter.
00:59:39You're a pig.
00:59:42Hey, I am not as patient as my dad.
00:59:45You fuck with me and you know exactly what'll happen.
00:59:52Hm?
00:59:54Let her go!
00:59:55Now!
00:59:58Dad.
00:59:59I'm trying to steal my fiance.
01:00:01Really?
01:00:02Good luck with that.
01:00:05I had this made for you.
01:00:07I was saving it for our way.
01:00:09Even if that day doesn't come, I still want you to shine.
01:00:15Thank you, Gabriel.
01:00:19I'm sorry to ruin this moment, but we've got a venue to go to, right?
01:00:31Miss Hardwood?
01:00:32I wanted to confirm your prenatal appointment.
01:00:35What did you just say?
01:00:37Is this not Clarissa Hardwood?
01:00:39Sorry, must be the wrong number.
01:00:49Clarissa, why didn't you tell me you're pregnant?
01:00:57Why should I tell you?
01:00:59The baby's not yours.
01:01:02Clarissa.
01:01:03Why are you doing this to me?
01:01:06Why can't you just be honest with me?
01:01:08What makes you so sure it's yours?
01:01:11Stay out of it.
01:01:12Andre and I...
01:01:14We make sense.
01:01:15We fit better together than you and I ever did.
01:01:21Wait.
01:01:23Keep this a secret from Andre.
01:01:25I want to surprise him at our wedding.
01:01:40Surprise, huh?
01:01:45Yeah.
01:01:46Surprise.
01:01:47We'll just have to wait and see though.
01:02:01We are here today to witness the union of Andre Storm and Clarissa Hardwood.
01:02:07Andre, do you take Clarissa to be your lawfully wedded wife?
01:02:11Yes, I do.
01:02:13And Clarissa, do you take Andre to be your lawfully wedded husband?
01:02:18I see it.
01:02:19You say you don't want to make sure he rots in jail.
01:02:21I am so sorry, Gabriel.
01:02:24I never wanted this.
01:02:25I did it all for you.
01:02:27Stop!
01:02:32Stop!
01:02:36What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:02:38Clarissa, I'm so sorry.
01:02:40I'm getting you out of here.
01:02:46Let me go!
01:02:48Andre will kill you for this.
01:02:50Stop!
01:02:50Don't you dare!
01:02:51Let me go!
01:02:52You're ruining my day, Dad!
01:02:54Stop!
01:02:58Gabriel, take me back!
01:02:59You have no idea what Andre will do!
01:03:02Wait for us to listen.
01:03:04The cops are hauling him away as we speak.
01:03:06Alright?
01:03:07It's gonna be hard for him to get revenge from the jail cell.
01:03:09What are you talking about?
01:03:11I showed them all the evidence to prove that he tried to set me up.
01:03:13Probably grilling him as we speak.
01:03:15You scared me half to death!
01:03:18Listen, Jessica told me everything.
01:03:20It's all behind us now.
01:03:22The only thing that matters is our future.
01:03:25So, Clarissa Hartley.
01:03:32Would you allow me the honor to be father to our child?
01:03:36Yes.
01:03:55I told you you're my princess.
01:03:57Come on.
01:03:58Let's go.
01:04:01Miss Hartley, your chariot awaits.
01:04:05Thank you so much.
01:04:06Get used to it, Clarissa.
01:04:08I'm gonna show you how much I love you every single day.
01:04:11I love you, Gabriel.
01:04:31You ready?
01:04:32Yes.
01:04:34Let's go.
01:04:34Let's do it.
01:04:44Ouch!
01:04:45Oh!
01:04:47Is that payback for all the times I made mommy cry?
01:04:50Looks like someone's learning how to steal mommy's attention.
01:04:54That a boy.
01:05:02Hey, looks like we have a little chaperone on our hands.
01:05:05Well, I guess we'll just have to wait until he's asleep then, huh?
01:05:11You know, he cries a lot like you.
01:05:13That's how I know you're his mother.
01:05:15Okay.
01:05:17Alright.
01:05:17I'm good.
01:05:17Here's what I'm called.
01:05:19I'm going to be right.
