21:04i got back into this!
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.
21:39You 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.
21:54I acted on my own.
21:57Everyone out.
22:02Jordan, how desperate are you for people?
22:04That you're going after mine?
22:06Try 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.
22:15I apologize on his behalf.
22:20So what do you want?
22:21Get 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.
22:39Zane, please behave yourself.
22:42Zane, please behave yourself.
22:51Zane, please behave yourself.
22:52Zane, please behave yourself.
22:55Zane, please behave yourself.
23:01Zane, please behave yourself.
23:03Zane, please behave yourself.
23:07Zane, please behave yourself.
23:09Zane, please behave yourself.
23:10Zane, please behave yourself.
23:11Zane, please behave yourself.
23:15Hey, fancy seeing you here.
23:17Isn't that your student's dad? The hot one?
23:20Lucas.
23:21Want to join us? We've got a private room.
23:24Hell yeah, thanks.
23:47To the unexpected encounter.
23:57You guys come here often? Zane picked the spot.
24:04Is he always this quiet?
24:06Eat your food.
24:16That wasn't me.
24:18That wasn't me.
24:51You didn't have to follow me in here.
24:53It's my fault.
24:54It was Ethan.
24:55I'm still responsible.
25:07Are you trying to buy me dinner, or...
25:09I'm sorry.
25:10Don't be.
25:11Zane.
25:12The other night, thank you.
25:13I told you.
25:14I don't hurt my own people.
25:16You don't have to be afraid of me.
25:20You did that on purpose.
25:21It wasn't me.
25:22Jocelyn was the one who didn't hold the glass steady.
25:27You okay?
25:28I'm fine.
25:29My leg fell pleep.
25:54Miss Min, Mr. Valentine is waiting for you in the study.
25:56I'll be right there.
25:58Come in.
25:59Sit.
26:01The butler said you wanted to see me?
26:03Jett's exam date got moved up.
26:05I want you to spend more time with him.
26:07Add two more lessons a week.
26:08I'll make it worth your while financially.
26:11Zane, I can add the lessons.
26:13But I don't need double the pay.
26:15Jett's progress is his own hard work.
26:16I'm just guiding him.
26:17It's what you deserve.
26:18You don't have to do this.
26:19You think I'm throwing charity at you?
26:20Aren't you?
26:21I don't need a reason for what I do.
26:23I'm adding the lessons because Jett needs them, not because of you.
26:26All right.
26:27I'll arrange my schedule.
26:28If that's all, I'll head out.
26:32Jocelyn, you've been avoiding me lately.
26:34I haven't.
26:34You left class ten minutes early last week.
26:36This week had the butler hand off your lesson plans.
26:38You haven't looked at me once since you walked in this room.
26:40Is this about Jordan?
26:41Take whatever you want openly.
26:42Once her contract's up, she'll walk away.
26:45And you'll have nothing to do with her.
26:49What does Jordan have to do with this?
26:51So him coming after you has nothing to do with it?
26:52Zane, I'm just Jett's tutor.
26:53When my contract ends, I'll leave.
26:55You don't have to be responsible for my safety.
26:57And you don't have to be nice to me.
27:00What if I want to?
27:01Jocelyn, you mean more to me than you'll ever know.
27:03I'll arrange the extra classes.
27:04I should go.
27:12Ma'am, a gentleman is waiting for you in the lounge.
27:22I'm not here to give you a hard time.
27:24Just read this first.
27:29Zane's never been one to explain himself.
27:31But you deserve to know who's been looking out for you this whole time.
27:35He's taking care of everyone who's ever come after you.
27:38Fixed every mess before it even reached you.
27:41I had no idea.
27:42He puts on this cold, tough front, but he cares more than he lets on.
28:07He looks at me.
28:36Mrs. Jaslyn, would you like something to eat before you go?
28:41No, thank you.
28:46Mrs. Jaslyn.
28:47What do you want?
29:04Yes, Jess!
29:05Mrs. Jaslyn.
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.
29:41He 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.
30:13300 million dollars.
30:15Call Zay here.
30:16Make it 300 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.
30:29I 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 going to 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?
31:30I'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?
32:01When I fry the fish later, help me hold the head.
32:19I didn't expect her to be that kind of person.
32:21No wonder she managed to climb up to Zayn.
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.
33:50I used to have the wrong impression of you.
33:52I thought you were difficult and hard to approach.
33:55But now I know.
33:56You'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.
34:32Tied.
34:35Your turn to mess up.
34:39Jocelyn, I've never seen you as just a business partner.
34:48Don't move.
34:50Look at me.
34:51Keep your head up.
34:59Babe.
35:02Babe.
35:04Zane, don't call me that.
35:09Let's go home.
35:11I'm not drunk.
35:13I 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?
35:37No.
35:37You're the one who didn't stand steady.
35:39I'll drink the soup.
35:40There'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, 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.
36:58If 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.
37:52I...
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.
38:08Jocelyn, 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.
38:22May 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.
38:35Darling.
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, I 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.
39:30Always 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.
39:53Jocelyn, 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.
40:00That's better than anything else.
40:16Jocelyn!
40:17Starting today, Jocelyn will be living here.
40:22She's the lady of this house.
40:24That's awesome!
40:25Now I get to see my teacher every day.
40:30Then I'll be counting 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.
40:52You really think you can protect Jocelyn forever?
40:55I'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.
41:24Blacklist them 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.
41:46It'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.
43:39Good.
43:39That's the point, baby.
43:44Just me.
43:45I don't want you focused on anything else.
43:47What 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.
44:50Did 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?
45:12Somewhere it's just the two of us.
45:14No work.
45:16No interruptions.
45:21For you.
45:28You're not usually this speechless.
45:31I 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.
46:09Then 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?
46:30I 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 Saventon 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.
47:50Greeer.
47:50Our 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.
48:11Greeer'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 and send it to the SEC's business conduct division,
48:33but not yet.
48:35We wait until Greeer thinks they've won and drops the second wave.
48:38Then we let them walk straight into a federal investigation.
48:41Jocelyn Min, I spent $2 million on headhunters trying 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 Greeery.
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 Gree 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.
49:43Greeer 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 Greevy?
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.
50:25From 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.
51:28Send it out.
51:34You 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.
52:14Greer'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.
52:22Let it play out.
52:23Tomorrow 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, never 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.
53:17More 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.
53:30The 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.
54:07Second, 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, I'm not talking about forever.
55:04Fine. We 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.
55:26From tutor to group strategy advisor.
55:28It's an incredibly rare transition, even here in Sevelton.
55:31Do you think it was luck or careful calculation?
55:33I calculated every step.
55:34But the best calculation I ever made was 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 when everything's falling apart.
55:46Anyone can learn facts.
55:47But whether you break, whether you run, whether you sell yourself out when the pressure's on,
55:52you can't teach that.
55:53Speaking of Greer, public opinion has framed your relationship with Mr. Valentine as a power alliance.
55:58What's your take on that?
55:59I've seen too many people dirty the phrase power couple.
56:02Elena, two adults with full business judgment, choosing to stand side by side is not the same as a power
56:07alliance.
56:08How would you define it then?
56:10Having each other's backs.
56:12He can cover my riskiest calls, and I can hold him when he's at his most vulnerable.
56:16This isn't a transaction.
56:18It's...
56:19I saw the parts of him, he doesn't show anyone else, and he didn't look away.
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.
56:57Jasklin, from the day I met you, you'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 protecting you, loving you, through everything.
57:07For better or for worse, Jasklin, will 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 I've ever seen.
57:22And you're mine.
57:23I've waited so long for this day.
57:33Zane Valentine, do you take Jasklin Min to be your lawfully wedded wife?
57:37To have and to hold, for better or for worse?
57:39For richer or for poorer?
57:40In sickness and in health?
57:42To love and to cherish till death do you part?
57:43I do.
57:45Jasklin Min, do you take Zane Valentine to be your lawfully wedded husband?
57:49To have and to hold, for better or for worse?
57:51For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health?
57:54To love and to cherish till death do you part?
