Short filmTranscript
00:13I'm looking for Mr. Valentine.
00:15You're looking for me?
00:16Sorry to crash your party.
00:17Let me buy you a drink.
00:21No need.
00:23Since you're already here,
00:25have a look.
00:30Solve it, and we'll talk.
00:32If you can't, you stay,
00:33and party with us till closing time.
00:35I'm here for the tutor interview.
00:37Is solving this problem my assessment?
00:39A tutor?
00:40This is a night cub, not a classroom.
00:42But you've piqued my interest.
00:44Go ahead.
00:54Done.
00:55Not bad.
00:57But what makes you think you're qualified
00:59to tutor the person I have in mind.
01:00I'm Jocelyn Min,
01:02MIT master's graduate from Verloch University,
01:05level B advanced tutor.
01:06I specialize in breaking down complex concepts
01:09into simple ones.
01:11That problem you just gave me?
01:12It's barely scratching the surface of what I can do.
01:15Teaching?
01:16I'll make you an offer.
01:18Ten times your asking rate, per lesson.
01:21I'm here to interview for a tutoring position,
01:23not to discuss some ridiculous offer.
01:25You can hire me if you value my skills.
01:28But don't disrespect me like this.
01:31You're interesting.
01:32The person I need tutored is a spoiled brat
01:35who couldn't tell a derivative from a differential.
01:39If you can get him to pass his entrance exam
01:41in a month, I'll double that rate.
01:44Deal.
01:44The trial lesson is free.
01:47Formal lessons are $12 per minute.
01:49I only discuss tutoring, nothing else.
01:57Escort Ms. Min home.
01:59Arrange the trial lesson for tomorrow.
02:18You've been here a month and haven't landed a single client.
02:20You still have the nerve to show up?
02:24Leave her alone.
02:26How Jocelyn's doing at work is none of your business.
02:30Jocelyn, come in here.
02:37You've blown nine client interviews.
02:39If you don't hit your target, you're out of here.
02:42Mandy!
02:42Someone's here to sign a contract,
02:44and they specifically asked for Jocelyn.
02:48Why didn't you report that you were signing a contract
02:50with Mr. Valentine?
02:52It's just a trial contract.
02:54Is that required to be reported?
02:56I'm here for a tutor, not a nary.
02:59Mind your own business.
03:16Zane, calm down!
03:18Your nephew's waiting for you at home!
03:26You didn't scream and beg to get out.
03:28Guess you've seen some shit.
03:30You don't even care about crashing your car.
03:32Why would I cry?
03:36Now tell me, how's Jate's math foundation?
03:39You'll see when we get there.
03:50Sir, Ms. Jocelyn.
03:51Take her upstairs to see Jette.
03:53Ma'am, this way.
03:54I'll take you upstairs to see the young master.
04:19You're here to work, so cut the crap.
04:22Hi, Jette.
04:22I'm your new tutor, Jocelyn Min.
04:24How am I supposed to tutor you if you don't let me help?
04:27And for the record, I'm a tutor, not a babysitter.
04:30You're not scared of anything?
04:32Nothing except ghosts.
04:34Instead of driving away every tutor that comes,
04:36why not just cooperate with me for an hour?
04:42I'll let you stay if you don't bother me.
05:00Sir, Ms. Jocelyn was completely quiet the entire time upstairs.
05:08Stay for dinner.
05:10You'll come six days a week from now on.
05:12Isn't that a bit too intense?
05:13He needs to get used to it as soon as possible.
05:17She's just full of sweet-talking lies.
05:19In the adult world, you can't avoid a little white lie now and then.
05:22Learn it.
05:23Hmm.
05:24Hmm.
05:26Hmm.
05:29Hmm.
05:30Hmm.
05:30Hmm.
05:31Hmm.
05:31Hmm.
05:32Hmm.
05:32Hmm.
05:32Hmm.
05:32Hmm.
05:32Hmm.
05:33Hmm.
05:35Hmm.
05:35Hmm.
05:35Hmm.
05:36Hmm.
05:36Hmm.
05:36Hmm.
05:37Hmm.
05:38Come on.
05:44Hmm.
05:45Come on.
05:45These chat larts don't look fake.
05:46No wonder she landed Mr. Valentine.
05:50Con, guys, don't say that.
05:52What if it's just a misunderstanding?
05:55But man, she sure got lucky.
05:57Watch your mouth.
05:59Anyone who keeps spreading rumors will have to answer to me.
06:02The facts are right there.
06:04How else would someone who couldn't land a single client get with Mr. Valentine?
06:08Rumors spread like wildfire, but debunking them takes forever.
06:12I'm choosing to let this go, but don't mistake my kindness for weakness.
06:18Mandy, headquarters received a complaint from Mr. Valentine.
06:21He said someone in the office is maliciously slandering his contracted tutor,
06:24damaging the company's reputation, and demands immediate action against the person responsible.
06:29Okay, I'll handle it right away.
06:51Ma'am, the young master is throwing a fit. He's already broken several things.
06:55Ugh, you again? No tutor has ever lasted more than three days here.
06:59You might as well save yourself the trouble and leave now.
07:06Whether I leave or not depends on whether you're man enough to make me.
07:11You don't want to study because you think no one can control you, no one understands you.
07:16But let me tell you something.
07:18You're not studying for anyone else.
07:34Don't waste your time.
07:35I don't give a shit about studying.
07:38My uncle's just having a phase.
07:40Once he gets bored, you'll be gone anyway.
07:42I'm not here to impress your uncle.
07:44I'm here to teach you.
07:46You can choose not to study.
07:48But you need to know that everything you have right now is because of him.
07:53You can't leech off him forever.
07:57I don't need you to lecture me about life.
07:59I'm just stating the facts.
08:01Alright, let's make a deal.
08:03I'll play one round of your best game with you.
08:06If you win, no tutoring today.
08:09If I win, you sit still and listen to me for a full hour.
08:12Deal?
08:15You serious?
08:16No one's ever beaten me at this game.
08:22I guess we'll find out.
08:35How the hell did you beat me?
08:37Studying is just like gaming.
08:39It takes focus.
08:40You lost, so a deal's a deal.
08:52Jocelyn, I was wrong about what happened earlier.
08:55I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.
08:56Don't hold it against me.
08:58If you need anything at work from now on, just say the word.
09:01I'll do whatever I can to help.
09:03Mandy, I'm here to work.
09:04Just do your job.
09:05That's all that matters.
09:06That was perfect.
09:07You handled her exactly right.
09:10She's been giving you such a hard time lately.
09:12It's not worth getting worked up over.
09:15Hey, can you print these tutoring materials for one of my students for me?
09:18You got it.
09:19Consider it done.
09:32Mr. Valentine?
09:33You wanted to see me?
09:35This is the official tutoring contract.
09:38Your trial period is over.
09:40From now on, you'll be Jet's exclusive tutor.
09:42I'll pay you send times your Anuggan rate.
09:45Plus, in addition to the six lessons a week, I need two extra hours of companionship time.
09:52Mostly accompanying Jet knee to outdoor activities.
09:55I'll pay extra for that.
09:58Companionship time?
09:59I'm a tutor, not a chaperone.
10:02It's just for Jet.
10:04He doesn't have many friends his age, and no one else can keep him in line.
10:09Of course, you can say no, but then I'll have to reconsider this tutoring contract entirely.
10:18I'll do it.
10:19But I'm only here for Jet.
10:20I won't get involved in any of your personal affairs.
10:24Deal.
10:26Tomorrow's Saturday.
10:28You're taking Jet to the equestrian club.
10:30I'll send my driver to pick you up at 9 a.m.
10:45Mr. Valentine, the young master came once before, but refused to ride.
10:49Thank you for taking the time to help him today.
10:51I'll give it a shot.
10:53Come on, give it a try.
10:56Horseback riding is fun, and it'll help you build courage.
10:59I don't want to ride.
11:00What if I fall off?
11:01See?
11:02As long as you get the hang of it, you won't fall.
11:04I'll ride with you.
11:19Zane!
11:20Long time no see!
11:21I didn't expect to run into you here.
11:23Who's this?
11:24Jocelyn Min, Jet's tutor.
11:25Eve, my business associate.
11:27Nice to meet you, Jocelyn.
11:28I had no idea Zane would get Jet such a young and pretty tutor.
11:32How thoughtful of him.
11:36Nice to meet you, Miss Eve.
11:38I'm just doing my job.
11:44You ride horses together as kids?
11:46You fell off once, and I was the one who helped you up.
11:48Don't remember.
11:49Jocelyn, you look so cool riding that horse.
11:52Way cooler than my uncle.
11:54It's just practice makes perfect.
11:56So Jocelyn can ride horses and play video games, too?
11:59I heard you beat Jet yesterday.
12:01You're quite the jack of all treeds.
12:03Though I can't help but wonder,
12:04did you get this tutoring job just for your skills,
12:07or is there something else going on?
12:09Miss Eve, I'm here because I'm good at teaching Jet.
12:11The rest is none of your business.
12:14Eve, we're here for Jet.
12:17Keep the irrelevant comments to yourself.
12:20All right, I won't.
12:21My apologies for overstepping.
12:23Jocelyn, let's go feed the ponies.
12:25I don't want to talk to boring people.
12:49Thanks for today.
12:51Jet hasn't been this happy in ages.
12:52It's what I'm supposed to do.
12:54Jet just lacks companionship.
12:56Taking him out more often will help...
12:58Don't take Eve's words to heart.
12:59She's always been like that.
13:01I don't care.
13:02As long as it doesn't affect my tutoring Jet,
13:05nothing anyone else says matters to me.
13:09It's getting late.
13:10Let my driver take you home.
13:11No need.
13:13I'll call a ride myself.
13:17Jocelyn, long time no see.
13:19I was wrong before.
13:20I shouldn't have spoken to you that way.
13:22Will you forgive me?
13:23Let's start over.
13:26Zachary, what are you doing here?
13:27You're not welcome.
13:28Get out now.
13:30I'm talking to Jocelyn.
13:32This has nothing to do with you.
13:34Zachary, we're done.
13:35I don't want to talk about the past.
13:37Just leave and don't disturb my work.
13:40Jocelyn, I know you're with Zayn Valentine now,
13:43but he's just messing around with you.
13:45I'm the only one who truly loves you.
13:48Come with me.
13:49I'll give you a better life.
13:52What I do is none of your business.
13:55If you don't leave right now,
13:57I'm calling security.
14:03Jocelyn, don't be so ungrateful.
14:05I've been nothing but good to you.
14:07Why won't you give me a chance?
14:09Let go of me.
14:10I'm telling you one last time.
14:12I don't love you,
14:14and I want nothing to do with you.
14:25Don't you dare touch her.
14:27Zayn Valentine,
14:28this is between Jocelyn and me.
14:30It's none of your business.
14:34She's mine now.
14:35What's hers is mine.
14:37If I ever see you near her again,
14:39I'll break you.
14:52I'm sorry for the trouble.
14:53I told you, you're mine.
14:55I won't let anyone hurt you.
14:58Mr. Valentine,
14:59we're just business partners.
15:01You don't have to go this far for me.
15:02Just business partners?
15:04Jocelyn, can't you tell?
15:05I feel more than just business for you.
15:12Jocelyn, get back here right now.
15:14There's an emergency at work
15:15that needs your immediate attention.
15:16I have to go.
15:18There's an emergency at the office.
15:31Not hungry today?
15:34I ate too much last night.
15:43Are you free Saturday night?
15:45Thanks for asking,
15:46but I'm afraid I can't make it.
15:49I was just bored.
15:50Thought I'd ask you out for dinner.
15:54Can't you cancel your other plans?
15:56I'll get my uncle to raise your pay.
16:00I'm afraid not, sorry.
16:02What's your secret agenda?
16:04Not telling.
16:05You'll just run and tell Zay anyway.
16:08I promise I won't tell my uncle ever again.
16:13This dinner was planned a week ago.
16:24Did you ask Jocelyn?
16:25Asked her for Sunday.
16:26She's busy Saturday.
16:28You want her to come?
16:29I can ask her for you.
16:29No!
16:30Don't tell her Saturday's my birthday.
16:32That plan's really important to her.
16:40Jason!
16:42You can head out now.
16:42I'll handle the rest.
16:44Jason!
16:44What a coincidence,
16:45running into you here at Jason's place.
16:46If you want something,
16:47just take it fair and square.
16:48The boss himself is down here giving orders.
16:51People who don't know any better
16:52would think you've got Jason
16:52wrapped around your finger.
16:53Brought a gift?
16:54There's a whole patch of these back home.
16:56I just picked a sprig on a whim.
16:59What's this?
17:00I get a self-defense tool from you
17:01and Jason gets flowers?
17:03You're enough of a flirt on your own.
17:04You can take care of yourself.
17:05I love gardenians.
17:06My grandma's house was full of them
17:07when I was a kid.
17:08I'll have to go see it sometime.
17:10You feeling better now?
17:11Yeah.
17:14I never thought I could get by on my looks.
17:16Someone once tried to confess to Jason
17:17with 999 roses,
17:19but he's allergic to pollen
17:20and sneezed like 50 times right now.
17:23No wonder you've never dated.
17:24You're allergic to roses.
17:25I'm only allergic to roses.
17:26Other flowers are fine.
17:27Jocelyn just gave me a gardenia plant.
17:29She was careful not to trigger my allergies.
17:37Is tonight your birthday?
17:38How did you find out?
17:40Why didn't you tell me?
17:41You said you had an important appointment, right?
17:44It's fine.
17:45You go ahead.
17:48Jason, I have to leave early.
17:50My student's birthday is tonight
17:51and I just found out.
17:52Let my driver take you.
17:54All right, everyone.
17:55Gather around for a group photo.
17:56Yes.
17:57Yes.
17:57Yes.
17:58Yes.
17:58Yes.
18:05Still waiting for her?
18:07She's late.
18:08She'll come.
18:09Make a wish!
18:10Make a wish!
18:24Over here.
18:26Did you make this?
18:27Who else?
18:29Guess you do have a heart.
18:30You didn't even tell me it was your birthday.
18:32I would have been here earlier if I'd known.
18:34You said you had an important person to meet.
18:37Nothing's more important than you.
18:39Jet, come here!
18:43You've got cream on your face.
18:48Jet really wanted you here.
18:50He didn't tell you because he didn't want to put you on the spot.
18:52I know now.
18:54I'll remember it from now on.
18:56He talks back to your face,
18:57but he's always saying good things about you behind your back.
19:02I'm going to the bathroom.
19:05I'll go check on her.
19:16Don't touch me.
19:20Sir?
19:21Are you in there?
19:25It's fine.
19:25Head back downstairs.
19:28I...
19:29What?
19:32Don't fight me on this.
19:47The drug will wear off quickly.
19:49About half an hour.
19:49If you start feeling better,
19:51we won't need to go to the hospital.
19:55You don't have to go through this alone.
19:57I can help you.
20:04Zane,
20:05please behave yourself.
20:07You don't want this?
20:08No, I don't.
20:14I once admired your distance more than anything.
20:17Now it's the one thing I hate the most.
20:31I once admired your distance more than anything.
20:37Now it's the one thing I hate the most.
21:09Zane, we found him. He's at the club.
21:11Got it.
21:19Mr. Valentine.
21:21Sit.
21:22Since when does Jordan reach this far into my business?
21:30You know what your problem is?
21:32The person who's supposed to be sitting next to me, you tried to take her place.
21:37The toast meant for me, you thought you'd take a sip.
21:42What's mine, you thought you'd steal.
21:48Call Jordan. Tell him to come get you.
21:51This has nothing to do with Jordan. I acted on my own.
21:57Everyone out.
22:02Jordan, how desperate are you for people?
22:04That you're going after mine? Try me.
22:07Try what, Zane?
22:08You can protect her for a day, but you can't protect her forever.
22:12Alright, I'm not here to fight with you.
22:14This was Zane's mistake. I apologize on his behalf.
22:19So what do you want?
22:20Get him out of my sight.
22:22Fine. You heard him. Get out.
22:28Zane, you hit my man today.
22:30I won't forget that.
22:31Whatever.
22:39Zane, please behave yourself.
22:43What?
22:45What?
22:52What?

28:13because
28:36Mrs. Jaslyn, would you like something to eat before you go?
28:41No, thank you.
29:12No, thank you.
29:27I got it.
29:28It's fine.
29:28Hey, toss the ball over here!
29:38What's wrong?
29:39You're incredibly patient with him.
29:40He just needs to be treated right.
29:45Would you like to stay for a cup of coffee before you go?
29:48Okay.
29:49You're the first teacher Jets ever felt close to.
29:52What about you?
29:53What about me?
29:54Are you too?
29:55What do you think?
29:57It's getting late.
29:58I'll have my driver take you home.
30:05Good night.
30:07Good night.
30:13Three hundred million dollars.
30:15Call Zay here.
30:16Make it three hundred billion and I'll think about it.
30:18We can negotiate.
30:19There's nothing to negotiate.
30:22I didn't call him here to talk business.
30:24I called him here for revenge.
30:26You don't call him.
30:27You don't leave this room tonight.
30:28I know the felony laws for unwalkful compersed by heart.
30:31You'd better think this through.
30:44If you're coming for Zayn in Sevington, you picked the wrong damn place.
30:49You'd really die for him?
30:50If I'm gonna die either way, I'd rather die by his hand.
30:53At least he'll avenge me.
30:56I've got your girl.
30:57Don't come!
30:58Let's bet on whether he shows up.
31:01Just helping you test how loyal your girl is.
31:06Jocelyn.
31:07Jocelyn!
31:08What?
31:09My apologies.
31:10The joke went too far.
31:17Hey, how about you just come over to my place for lessons from now on?
31:22It'll save you the commute.
31:24And I can make you breakfast too.
31:26I have an idea.
31:27For real?
31:29I'll talk to my uncle about it.
31:32Just don't tell him it was my idea.
31:40Just stay here.
31:42No point going back and forth.
31:45I'll come over tonight too.
31:47Really?
31:48Can I bring my pet too?
31:49Only if it's under 12 inches long or tall.
31:55Who taught you how to wash dishes?
31:58Do I need lessons for that?
32:00When I fry the fish later, help me hold the head.
32:19I didn't expect her to be that kind of person.
32:21I didn't expect her to be that kind of person.
32:21No wonder she managed to climb up to Zane.
32:29Oh my god.
32:30Whoever started this rumor is going to get sued.
32:33Deal with the person who spread the rumor immediately and issue a public apologology to Jocelyn.
32:36Yes, I'll handle it right away.
32:45I saw the statement online.
32:47Thank you for putting that out for me.
32:50It's more than just a statement.
32:52I've only found out who photoshopped the photo, who spread it, and who started the rumors.
32:58Whoever needs to be sued to be fired, and whoever needs to be fired will be fired, not letting anyone
33:02off.
33:03You really didn't have to go this far for me.
33:05You're Jett's teacher, and you're someone I protect.
33:08I'm not letting anyone throw dirt on you.
33:23I picked these out after a long time.
33:25I thought they'd suit you.
33:26I really like them.
33:27Thank you, Jocelyn.
33:29I...
33:29I'm glad you like them.
33:32This one's for you.
33:33On Jett's birthday, did you take advantage of me?
33:36I...
33:36I was drugged that night.
33:38I wasn't in my right mind.
33:39You pinched my waist, pulled my hair, and even slapped me.
33:43I'm sorry.
33:44I was wrong.
33:45I'll take the punishment.
33:49I used to have the wrong impression of you.
33:52I thought you were difficult and hard to approach.
33:55But now I know.
33:55You're actually very reliable.
33:57I've also acted impulsively, and done things I shouldn't have.
34:00We still have a long way ahead.
34:02We can look out for each other.
34:03Drink something warm.
34:04This wine has a strong after effect.
34:06I'm not going to get drunk like a kid.
34:07Honestly, you're much harder to deal with when you're sober.
34:10You don't have to be so polite with me all the time.
34:12And you can relax a little.
34:13I'm not that scary.
34:14Got it.
34:14Come play a couple rounds of pool with me.
34:16Sure.
34:16I haven't played in a while.
34:19Let's make a bet.
34:20What kind of bet?
34:21If you lose, you have to grant the winner one wish.
34:23Fine.
34:28One point.
34:31Tied.
34:35Your turn to mess up.
34:39Jocelyn, I've never seen you as just a business partner.
34:48Don't move.
34:49Look at me.
34:51Keep your head up.
34:59Babe.
35:02Babe.
35:03Zane, don't call me that.
35:08Let's go home.
35:11I'm not drunk.
35:12I remember everything.
35:20Let's go.
35:21The car's waiting outside.
35:31You came all the way here just for this?
35:33It's hangover soup.
35:34It'll help you feel better.
35:35Last night at the pool, babe.
35:36Did you do that on purpose?
35:36No, you're the one who didn't stand steady.
35:39I'll drink the soup.
35:39There's something I want to talk to you about tonight.
35:42Zane has completely dropped the case.
35:44And the company has finished its internal cleanup.
35:45We really owe this to you.
35:47It's part of the job.
35:48Don't forget about the banquet next week.
35:49Got it.
35:57Dimi, this is Jocelyn, your personal tutor.
35:59And this is Zane.
36:00Hi.
36:01Hi.
36:08Jocelyn, what do you usually do on weekends?
36:09Don't tell me you spend all your time tutoring.
36:11Pretty much.
36:12I've been teaching a little boy lately.
36:13He's actually quite cute.
36:15Is that Zay's nephew?
36:16I heard Jet is really hard to handle.
36:17He's just a bit sensitive.
36:19Actually, he's very smart.
36:20She has more patience than I do.
36:21That's rare.
36:22Zane and I actually giving someone a compliment.
36:30Take it slow.
36:39It's a bit stuffy in there.
36:42That call you took earlier, is something wrong?
36:45Why do you ask?
36:46You didn't look very happy when you came back.
36:48Jet's mom isn't coming back for the new year.
36:50Not that it's surprising.
36:51How are you going to tell him?
36:53I'll tell him the truth.
36:55He won't cry, but he'll probably stay quiet for a few days.
36:57If you need help, I can come over more often to keep him company.
37:02Jocelyn.
37:03Hmm?
37:04You're really good to Jet.
37:06He's my student.
37:08And what about me?
37:11You said you noticed I wasn't in a good mood.
37:13It was just a casual question.
37:15You're not the type to ask casually.
37:17Let's go back to the type they're probably waiting.
37:26You okay?
37:27I'm fine.
37:32We'll head off first.
37:33Take your time.
37:38Jocelyn, I like you.
37:41It's not a sudden impulse.
37:43And it has nothing to do with who I am.
37:45It's you.
37:47I'm not forcing you to answer.
37:49I can wait.
37:51I...
37:52I should go home.
37:55Be careful on the way.
37:57Text me when you get home.
38:04Keep your feet firm and stay loose.
38:07Jocelyn, be my date for the banquet next week.
38:10I...
38:11I don't want to.
38:13You will.
38:17Finally willing to bring her out officially?
38:19Shut it.
38:19Jocelyn, you're the most elegant guest here tonight.
38:21May I have this dance, Jocelyn?
38:26Everyone is looking at us.
38:28Let them look.
38:28I don't care.
38:30I just want everyone to know you're with me.
38:34Darling.
38:36Zane.
38:36I don't just want you as my dance partner.
38:38I want you to stay by my side.
38:44Everything I said on the dance floor, I meant every word.
38:47From the moment you walked into that nightclub and solved that problem,
38:51I've never really been able to get you out of my head.
38:53You were never just a tutor or an employee to me.
38:56Not even for a second.
38:57But in the beginning, you were so cold.
38:59I was pretending to be distant.
39:01I was scared that if I treated you too well, I'd scare you off.
39:05And even more scared that you'd only ever see me as your boss
39:08and never look at me any other way.
39:10Jocelyn.
39:11I like you.
39:12Not because I want to possess you.
39:14And not on a whim.
39:15I like you in the way that makes me want to stay with you for a very, very long time.
39:18Zane, I like you too.
39:25Didn't even wait until the dance was over before going official.
39:27That's bold, even for you.
39:28She's mine.
39:30She's mine.
39:30Always has been.
39:31Jocelyn, you deserve the best.
39:32Thank you, Jason.
39:36From today onward, Jocelyn Min is someone I, Zane Valentine, will protect.
39:41Anyone who targets her, slanders her, or schemes against her is going against me.
39:45All right, to Zane and Jocelyn.
39:47Cheers.
39:52Jocelyn, I was stupid before.
39:55I crossed the line, and I'm really sorry.
39:57Please don't take it to heart.
39:58Just do your job.
39:59That's better than anything else.
40:17Jocelyn, I'm really sorry.
40:31I'll hang on you guys from now on.
40:37Remember our bet?
40:39You won.
40:40I remember.
40:42What's your wish?
40:44I want you.
40:51You really think you can protect Jocelyn forever?
40:54I've got plenty of ways to ruin her.
41:01Touch her once, and I'll make sure you disappear from Savalton for good.
41:10Everything's in there.
41:17Starting today, all business ties between Jordan and the Valentine family are permanently discroboted.
41:23Blacklist him globally.
41:29About Jordan, you really didn't have to go that far for me.
41:37You're my bottom line.
41:39You're the person I keep closest to my heart.
41:42Anyone who touches you is done.
41:44This isn't me doing you a favor.
41:45It's what I want.
41:54Relax your fingers.
41:55Don't grip too hard.
41:56The horse can feel when you're nervous.
41:58Is it really not going to kick me?
41:59Black is a retired racehorse.
42:00He's the gentlest one here.
42:01Talk to him a little.
42:02He'll listen.
42:03Jocelyn.
42:04What is it?
42:05I've seen plenty of beautiful views, but none of them come close to you right now.
42:08Stop messing around.
42:11The chef flew in from Paris.
42:13He made everything to your taste.
42:14Try it.
42:15I mean it, Zane.
42:16I'm not the kind of woman you can win over with fancy dinners.
42:19I know, but when it comes to you, nothing feels like too much.
42:21About Jordan, is it really completely handled?
42:24As long as I'm here, anyone who could threaten you will be dealt with.
42:27With you here, I feel safe.
42:30You're not alone anymore.
42:32Not as long as I'm alive.
42:41Why aren't you watching?
42:43No movie could ever be prettier than you.
42:48Darling.
43:00I won again.
43:01A bet's a bet.
43:02Have you decided what you want from me?
43:04Not yet.
43:04That's fine.
43:05Take your time.
43:06You always do this.
43:08Say something like that, then walk away like nothing happened.
43:10Walk away?
43:11Baby, I'm not going anywhere.
43:12Don't make me wait too long, darling.
43:14I'm patient, but not that patient.
43:19Tired?
43:20A little.
43:21I'll be done soon.
43:22No.
43:22I'm not letting you read another word.
43:24This is my job, Zane.
43:26I'm the boss.
43:27Listen to me.
43:28If I say you're done, you're done.
43:30That's called abusing your power.
43:32So what?
43:33I'll show you exactly how I abuse it.
43:35You're impossible.
43:36I can't focus when you're like this.
43:38Good.
43:39That's the point, baby.
43:44Just me.
43:45I don't want you focused on anything else.
43:46What if someone walks in and sees us?
43:49Then they'll learn a valuable lesson.
43:51Don't interrupt the boss when he's busy.
43:54Zane, the door.
43:55It's not locked.
43:56Hmm.
43:57And?
44:07You still haven't finished your work?
44:12Let them wait.
44:21This level of power abuse could get you reported to HR.
44:26Report who?
44:27You?
44:27Or me?
44:29Go ahead.
44:30Report me, Jocelyn.
44:32Zane.
44:33This is the study.
44:34I know.
44:35That's why I've never worked this long in here before.
44:47You did that on purpose.
44:49Did what on purpose?
44:51You knew someone might walk by.
44:57Then next time, we'll go to my bedroom.
45:09Where are we going?
45:11Somewhere it's just the two of us.
45:14No work.
45:15No interruptions.
45:21For you.
45:28You're not usually this speechless.
45:30I don't think anyone's ever treated me like this before.
45:36Well, now you do.
45:38That sounds dangerous.
45:40Dangerous, Jocelyn?
45:42You haven't seen me really dangerous yet.
45:48Zane.
45:50Yeah?
45:52That's it?
45:53Are you sure you want to tease me like that?
45:59Scared?
46:05Stop pretending.
46:06You're awake.
46:07Nope.
46:07I'm sleeping.
46:08Then, then is this a good dream?
46:10So good it doesn't feel real.
46:13Was I too rough last night?
46:14Zane, can you not...
46:16Nope.
46:19Are we really on an island?
46:21We landed before dawn.
46:23Lynn, you were out cold.
46:24I carried you off the plane, and you didn't even stir.
46:27You carried me off?
46:28The crew saw?
46:29So what if they did?
46:29I was carrying my woman.
46:32Zane!
46:33How am I supposed to face them now?
46:35The only person you need to face is me.
46:40Jocelyn, you said something last night.
46:43Do you remember?
46:44I forgot.
46:45I was too sleepy.
46:46I don't remember anything I said.
46:48Is that right?
46:48Then let me remind you.
46:50You said, Zane, I love you.
46:52You remembered wrong.
46:52I didn't say that.
46:53You did.
46:54I didn't.
46:55You did.
46:58Zane.
46:58Yeah?
46:59Every word I said was true.
47:09Are you sure you want to do it this way?
47:11I can shut the media down myself.
47:13You don't need to stand stage him and take the hit for me.
47:16Who said I'm taking the hit for you?
47:18I'm staking my claim.
47:20Those two things don't conflict.
47:22Three days ago, when those candid photos leaked,
47:25someone pushed the line that I'm a tutor who slept her way up.
47:27That phrase hits three pressure points perfectly.
47:30It degrades my profession, implies I'm manipulative,
47:33and questions your judgment all at once.
47:35So who do you think is behind it?
47:36The timing was too precise.
47:38The day after you secured the entire Savinton market and the stock pricey spiked.
47:42This isn't personal revenge.
47:44It's a corporate hit.
47:45I traced the IPs and followed the money through the bot harms.
47:48It all points to Gree Group.
47:49Gree, our biggest rival in the renewable energy project.
47:53More accurately, the company you beat out last month with a $1.2 billion.
47:57They didn't just lose a project.
47:59They lost their entire strategy.
48:01They're not swallowing that quietly.
48:03In three days, you dug up what my intelligence team couldn't find in three weeks.
48:07Because your people know how to read data, not people.
48:09I study behavior patterns.
48:11Gree's PR director worked at three companies before this,
48:14and every single time, he released private life scandals
48:16right at his competitor's critical moments.
48:18That's his signature move.
48:20He could switch a hundred bot channels and still leave fingerprints.
48:24So what's your plan?
48:25The press conference goes on as planned.
48:27You respond directly and shift the focus to your stance.
48:29Meanwhile, I package the money trail evidence
48:31and send it to the SEC's business conduct division, but not yet.
48:34We wait until Greer thinks they've won and drops the second wave.
48:37Then we let them walk straight into a federal investigation.
48:41Jocelyn Min, I spent $2 million on headhunters
48:43trying to find a PR director like this
48:45and somehow picked one up from a tutor resume.
48:49Your headhunters were looking in the wrong place.
48:51Zane, are you really sure?
48:53Once you say it today, you can't take it back.
48:55I never say anything I'd want to take back.
49:01Nervous?
49:02What would I be nervous about?
49:04I'm not the one going stage.
49:06You're the one watching me from backstage.
49:09I verified the reporter list.
49:11Two from finance, one from business investigations.
49:14All of them have long-term ties with Greery.
49:16I know.
49:17The cameraman at the third camera position in the front row is suspicious, too.
49:21His face didn't match the photo on his press badge when he came in.
49:25Most likely, Greer hired him to catch ugly angles.
49:31Since when did you start doing security work, too?
49:34From the moment you pulled me into this game,
49:36you and I stopped being two separate targets.
49:39Zane, after today, both of us will be under the spotlight.
49:42Greer won't stop just because you go public.
49:45They'll just change direction.
49:47I know.
49:48It took me 30 years to find someone who made me absolutely certain
49:51that the place beside me belongs to her.
49:53Do you really think I'm scared of Greery?
50:00I know there's been a lot of speculation and plenty of rumors about me and Jocelyn Min lately.
50:05Some people are making up stories.
50:08Some are buying trends.
50:10Some are trying to turn someone's private life into a corporate war.
50:14So I'm not standing here today to respond to rumors.
50:16I'm here to end them.
50:20Jocelyn Min is the woman I, Zane Valentine, truly love and want to cherish for the rest of my life.
50:24From this day on, the place beside me belongs to her and only her.
50:28And let me be clear.
50:29Anyone who spreads rumors about her, attacks her or tries to hurt her,
50:32I will go after with everything I have.
50:35No exceptions.
50:36My legal team is already in place and the first round of lawsuits has been drafted.
50:39I don't care who you are.
50:41I don't care which company is backing you.
50:43Mr. Valentine, sources say Miss Min was once your nephew's tutor.
50:47Did you use that employment relationship to exert improper influence over her?
50:51First, she is one of the smartest, most principles people I've ever met.
50:55No one could exert improper influence over her.
50:58Second, I pursued her.
51:00I've lost count of how many times she turned me down.
51:03Mostly because she rejected me so gracefully I kept thinking I still had a chance.
51:10So write whatever you want.
51:12But if anyone dares to describe her with filthy phrases like slept her way up again,
51:17I'll make sure they learn that the Valentine family has more than money.
51:20And some of it is a lot harder to mess with.
51:27Send it out.
51:33You saw it?
51:37You didn't have to go that far.
51:38I know.
51:39But I wanted to.
51:40Greer has already started pulling the trending popics down.
51:43But the money trail evidence I released will be picked up by the SEC and major media outlets
51:48by tomorrow morning at the latest.
51:51Zane, after today, Greer won't just let this go.
51:54So?
51:55So until this is completely over, I can't let my guard down.
51:58Neither can you.
52:01Then we face it together.
52:03You always make it sound so simple.
52:05Because it isn't hard.
52:07Not as long as you're with me.
52:10The trending topics are down.
52:12But the conversation's still going.
52:13Greer's PR team is pushing a new narrative.
52:16Valentine's CEO's relationship is a publicity stunt for business.
52:19What's your move?
52:20No response.
52:21Let it play out.
52:22Tomorrow morning, I'll publish an in-depth analysis in the financial media under an insider's name,
52:27mapping out the decision logic behind every acquisition you've made in the last three years
52:31against the timeline of this relationship going public.
52:34It'll prove that going public now is the worst possible move for your business interests.
52:38No one uses a stock drop for a publicity stunt.
52:41To my director of communications.
52:43To my...
52:44Never mind, your title's too long.
52:45Then to the woman Zane Valentine is in love with.
52:47Whatever.
52:50Jocelyn.
52:52Yeah?
52:53Everything I said on that stage today.
52:55Every single word.
52:56It wasn't for PR.
52:57It wasn't for the media.
52:59I know.
53:03After yesterday's press conference, the stock dropped 3%.
53:06The short-term fluctuation is within expectations.
53:08But after the in-depth report went live this morning,
53:10the public mentality index has already rebounded from minus 32 to minus 8.
53:14It'll be positive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
53:16More importantly...
53:19The SEC announced an investigation into Greer Group this morning at 9 a.m.
53:24for market manipulation through the dissemination of false information.
53:29The SEC got involved?
53:32I submitted the evidence chain last night, including fund flows, contracts with the troll farm,
53:37and internal email screenshots.
53:39Greer's PR director has already been suspended pending investigation.
53:44So this whole scandal was a hit job from a competitor?
53:47Greer Group lost the Nordic project to us in a $1.2 billion bid.
53:52They chose the lowest, dirtiest way to get back at me, attacking my personal and route the board's trust in
53:57my judgment.
54:00So what's our next move?
54:02First, all sources of the rumors will be locked down by the SEC and law enforcement by the end of
54:06today.
54:08Second, tomorrow I'll be doing an exclusive interview with the Seventeen Daily,
54:12talking about my career transition from tutor to group strategy advisor.
54:17Third, once Greer's investigation results are public next week,
54:20all attention will naturally shift back to our business.
54:22We won the Seventeen project and we're not going to lose this PR war.
54:26Meeting adjourned.
54:28From tutor to group strategy advisor, when did you give yourself that promotion?
54:32Just now, on the fly.
54:35You got a problem with it?
54:37Strategy advisor signed non-compete agreements.
54:40I'm not signing it.
54:42Why not?
54:43Because if I sign it, I can't walk away whenever I want.
54:47I haven't decided if I want to stay here forever yet.
54:50Have you decided now?
54:54Zane, Greer's not done. There's a bigger power behind them.
54:57So?
54:58So until this is all over,
55:00I'm not talking about forever.
55:03Fine.
55:04We won't talk about forever.
55:06We'll talk about tomorrow.
55:08Tomorrow I'm having coffee with the Seventeen Daily reporter.
55:11You better not show up and steal the spotlight.
55:13I promise I won't steal the spotlight.
55:15But I can sit at the next table and pay for the coffee.
55:19Suit yourself.
55:22Mrs. Min, thank you for agreeing to this interview.
55:25First question, from tutor to group strategy advisor,
55:28it's an incredibly rare transition even here in Sevleton.
55:31Do you think it was luck?
55:32Or careful calculation.
55:33I calculated every step.
55:34But the best calculation I ever made
55:36was choosing the right person.
55:38Zane Valentine?
55:39He chose me first.
55:40He didn't hire me for my knowledge.
55:42He hired me for how I make decisions
55:44when everything's falling apart.
55:46Anyone can learn facts.
55:47But whether you break,
55:49whether you run,
55:50whether you sell yourself out when the pressure's on,
55:52you can't teach that.
56:21Speaking of Greer,
56:27You were eavesdropping.
56:28I was at the next table.
56:29Paid for the coffee.
56:30You said I could.
56:33It's cold.
56:34Tastes like shit.
56:36Want me to get you a hot one?
56:37You heard what I said in there.
56:38I heard the part you didn't say.
56:40What part?
56:41What we're having for dinner later.
56:43Zane, you're really boring.
56:51It's beautiful here.
56:57Jasklyn, from the day I met you,
56:59you've been in every plan I've ever made.
57:01I don't just want to be your lover.
57:02I want to be your husband.
57:03I want to spend the rest of my life
57:04protecting you,
57:05loving you,
57:06through everything.
57:07For better or for worse,
57:09Jasklyn,
57:10will you marry me?
57:11Yes, I will marry you.
57:15Do I look okay?
57:17You take my breath away.
57:19It's not just okay.
57:20You're the most beautiful thing
57:21I've ever seen,
57:22and you're mine.
57:23I've waited so long for this day.
57:33Zane Valentine,
57:34do you take Jasklyn Min
57:35to be your lawfully wedded wife?
57:36To have and to hold
57:37for better or for worse?
57:39For richer or for poorer?
57:40In sickness and in health?
57:41To love and to cherish
57:42till death do you part?
57:43I do.
57:44Jasklyn Min,
57:46do you take Zane Valentine
57:47to be your lawfully wedded husband?
57:49To have and to hold?
57:50For better or for worse?
57:51For richer or for poorer?
57:53In sickness and in health?
57:54To love and to cherish?
57:56Till death do you part?
57:57I do.
