00:00Cheers to us.
00:01This is good.
00:01Let me go.
00:02I mean exactly how to work it right.
00:06Spinning.
00:07Oh, good.
00:08The coffee machine's free.
00:10I mean exactly how to work it right.
00:12I didn't realize it was that kind of workplace.
00:16Good morning, Barbara.
00:17I suppose everyone handles the work day differently.
00:19I just prefer to keep things professional.
00:23What do you mean by professional?
00:26Just some of us are here to work.
00:29We're all here to work.
00:30Some of us are also in a relationship.
00:32Those things aren't in conflict.
00:34Of course not.
00:35I wasn't implying anything.
00:36You walked in and made a comment.
00:38That's implying something.
00:40I'm just making conversation.
00:42Coffee machine's free.
00:48You didn't need to do that.
00:50Do what?
00:51Well, they weren't doing anything wrong.
00:53You were deliberately unkind to them.
00:55You know, I've noticed you do that a lot,
00:57especially when Brian's involved.
00:59I was making an observation.
01:01You were making a point.
01:03There's a difference.
01:04I didn't say anything that wasn't true.
01:07You implied something you know isn't fair.
01:10It's not the same as telling the truth.
01:12You're worth more than what you just did in there.
01:15I mean that.
01:18And I'd like to take you to dinner sometime if you'd consider it.
01:21Aww.
01:22That's sweet.
01:27Okay then.
01:32I think we got off on the wrong foot this morning.
01:35I'd like to clear the air.
01:38Brian and I have...
01:40It's a connection that goes back further than what's happening now.
01:44I just...
01:46I'm not saying that to cause trouble.
01:47I just think it's worth you knowing.
01:50Um, what kind of connection?
01:53It's kind of hard to explain.
01:55You just have to have been there.
01:58What does that mean specifically?
02:00Well, Brian is the kind of person who gets caught up in things.
02:03Sometimes he needs someone to be honest with him about what's actually right for him.
02:09Are you suggesting that you know what's right for Brian better than Brian does?
02:14I'm just being real with you.
02:16Woman to woman.
02:19Sometimes situations resolve more cleanly when people gracefully make exits before things get complicated.
02:26Let me make sure I understand you.
02:28You came to my desk to tell me to leave my relationship based on a connection you can't describe with
02:34someone who hasn't asked for this.
02:37I'm trying to help you avoid an awkward situation down the line.
02:40The awkward situation is this one.
02:43The one that you created by coming over here.
02:46I thought you'd appreciate the honesty.
02:50I'm not going anywhere.
02:51And this conversation is over.
02:53I'm not trying to start something.
02:55I just...
02:55You came to my desk to tell me to leave my relationship.
02:58That's starting something.
02:59We're done.
03:05That wasn't exactly cleaning the air.
03:08Nelson!
03:08Look, I'm not trying to manage you.
03:10I just think...
03:11Okay, I know you mean well.
03:12But I don't need your commentary on how to handle my relationships.
03:17You don't have a standing for it.
03:19Well, you went to her desk and told her to leave her partner.
03:22I think that's everyone's business.
03:23That was a private conversation.
03:25You're in an open office, Barbara.
03:27Okay, Nelson.
03:28I want to be clear with you so that there's no confusion.
03:31I am not interested in you.
03:34Not now.
03:35Not ever.
03:36Please stop positioning yourself as the voice of reason in my life.
03:41I understand.
03:41Thank you!
03:54Barbara, what are you doing?
03:56I was hoping to work somewhere quiet.
04:01Is there something work-related you needed?
04:03I just wanted to talk to you about that part office road.
04:06If this is about what it was about at Helen's desk yesterday, I'm going to have to ask you...
04:09Okay, just hear me out.
04:11What you and I have, even just as people who understand each other, that doesn't just go away.
04:18Barbara...
04:18I know you feel it too.
04:20Some version of it.
04:22And you don't have to say it out loud.
04:24I just want you to...
04:26I don't.
04:29I need to be very clear about that.
04:32I'm with Helen.
04:33I'm happy there's no version of what you're describing that exists.
04:42Brian was just showing me something on his screen and I was leaning over a look.
04:47Barbara just came in.
04:48She pulled the door closed and moved forward.
04:49Okay, that's what happened.
04:50Well, that's not his fair characterization.
04:52That's what happened, Barbara.
04:54This is the third time in two days.
04:56The coffee machine, my desk, and now a closed room.
05:00Brian is not available.
05:02He hasn't indicated that he is.
05:04And he hasn't asked for any of this.
05:06What you're doing has a name and it isn't flattering.
05:08I wasn't doing anything.
05:09I was talking to him.
05:10You closed the door and sat closer to him than the table required.
05:14In what world is that just talking?
05:16Helen.
05:17I have nothing more to say on the subject.
05:19I'd like you to stop.
05:21That's not a request.
05:22Oh.
05:28I'll leave.
05:38Helen.
05:40Brian.
05:41Good morning.
05:49Did she just...
05:50Yeah.
05:51I...
05:51I...
05:53Is that her?
05:55I'm...
05:55Did she get cloned?
05:57Hmm.
06:00So...
06:01She's nice now.
06:02Is that...
06:02Is that good?
06:03I don't know.
06:05Ask me at the end of the day.
06:08Don't take her out of your sight.
06:20You okay?
06:24I don't know why I keep doing this.
06:26Hmm.
06:27Doing what specifically?
06:29The thing with Brian.
06:31The way I talk to her.
06:34The way I talk to you.
06:36Do you actually want Brian?
06:38I don't know.
06:39I don't think so.
06:42I think I just...
06:43I didn't like that someone else had something I told myself that I was going to have eventually.
06:50Well, that's honest.
06:51It's not flattering.
06:53No.
06:53But it's more useful than the story you've been running.
06:56I think I've been wrong about a lot of things.
07:00Maybe I should have taken you up on that dinner.
07:03I'm glad you said that.
07:05But...
07:06Six months ago, it would have meant something to me.
07:09You were the first thing I thought about when I came into this office for a long time.
07:13I want you to know that.
07:15The weight of what you dismissed.
07:17You know, not to punish you, just so you know it was real.
07:20Nelson.
07:21Look, I've met someone.
07:23After I stopped waiting for you to see me.
07:25Someone who didn't need convincing that I was worth talking to.
07:28How long?
07:29About two months.
07:31It's early, but it's good.
07:33I'm glad for you.
07:34I think you mean that.
07:36I do.
07:37The way you've been behaving, with Helen, with Brian, with me...
07:41I don't think that's actually who you are.
07:43But it's who you've been acting like.
07:45And actions are what people have to work with.
07:48If you keep choosing that version of yourself, you'll keep ending up in exactly this room wondering what went wrong.
07:54I hope you figure it out.
07:56I mean that.
08:05Look at Miss Overachiever over there.
08:08Does she ever take a break?
08:09Man, she's probably trying to impress the boss with all that fake productivity.
08:14Yeah, I mean, it doesn't seem that anybody works that hard unless they're showing off, right?
08:18It's pathetic, really.
08:19Like, she thinks typing faster is going to get her a promotion.
08:23Yeah, maybe she'll get an award for most desperate employee.
08:26Oh, come on guys.
08:27Maybe...
08:27Look, maybe she just likes her job.
08:29Nobody likes their job that much.
08:31Don't defend her.
08:33Evan, okay?
08:34It makes you look soft.
08:36I mean, look at her.
08:37She dresses like she shops at a thrift store and has zero social skills.
08:41No wonder she has to bury herself in work.
08:43Yeah, I think I've seen those shoes.
08:45Yeah, they're older than half the interns here.
08:48Guys, she doesn't really even bother anybody.
08:50She just keeps to herself.
08:51Leave her alone.
08:52That's the problem.
08:54She's too quiet.
08:55It makes her seem weird.
08:57You know, maybe if she learned how to have a conversation,
09:00she wouldn't need to compensate by being such an office workaholic.
09:03Imagine her trying to hold a conversation on happy hour.
09:06She'd probably talk about spreadsheets the whole time.
09:10Or worse grammar.
09:11Can you imagine?
09:12My gosh.
09:13Okay, okay.
09:14That's enough, guys.
09:15Let's just drop it, okay?
09:17Oh, please.
09:18She doesn't even notice us.
09:19Look at her.
09:20Head down.
09:21Pretending we don't exist.
09:24What a nerd.
09:36There she goes again.
09:38Doesn't she know that working that hard makes the rest of us look bad?
09:41She's wasting her time.
09:43All that effort and she's still the office outcast.
09:46It's like she's a robot.
09:48No fun, no personality.
09:50She just always works.
09:52You know, hard work pays off.
09:55It leads to career advancements and personal satisfaction.
09:57If you put more effort into your jobs, you might find it rewarding.
10:02There's real value in doing your best work.
10:04Oh, gosh, guys.
10:05I think we're in trouble now.
10:06She's going to give us homework.
10:07Oh, my God.
10:10You're giving us a lecture?
10:12That's adorable.
10:13Now listen to her.
10:14She actually believes that corporate fairytale about hard work paying off.
10:19Now she's going to be telling us that loyalty to the company makes us a family.
10:23Yeah, the kind of family that forgets your name the minute you quit.
10:27I don't know.
10:28Maybe you need to learn to have some fun, Lexi.
10:29I mean, not everything has to be so serious.
10:31Fun has its place, but when the company is trusting you with its responsibilities,
10:36shouldn't you at least try to deliver?
10:38Wow.
10:38Hey, put that on a motivational poster.
10:41Deliver or die trying.
10:44Maybe she practices those speeches in the mirror before work.
10:47That would explain everything.
10:49Seriously, when's the last time you did anything that wasn't work-related?
10:52You need to get a life.
10:55Lexi, I mean, don't you ever...
10:57I don't know.
10:58Like, do you ever go out?
10:59Like, party?
10:59Relax?
11:00Let loose?
11:00I relax by knowing I gave my best.
11:03That's enough for me.
11:04I relax by giving my best.
11:06Wow.
11:07Riveting stuff.
11:09Hey, somebody write that down.
11:14Watch it.
11:16Word.
11:25What's got you all excited?
11:27I have successfully created a new platform that will significantly improve our workflow
11:33and efficiency.
11:34This could save time, resources, across multiple departments.
11:38How exactly does it work?
11:39It streamlines our entire process.
11:42Instead of a current three-step verification system, the platform consolidates everything
11:47into one seamless interface.
11:49One step.
11:51That sounds really simple.
11:54Like, what about security checks?
11:56Already built in.
11:57It validates entries automatically, so nothing moves forward unless it passes all requirements,
12:03faster and safer.
12:05What kind of time savings are we talking about?
12:07Conservative estimate?
12:09About 40% reduction in processing time.
12:12But the real benefit is an error reduction.
12:15It virtually eliminates human mistakes in data entry.
12:1840%?
12:19That's massive.
12:20Do you have any test data?
12:22Yes.
12:23I've been running simulations all week.
12:25Every trial shows consistent improvement.
12:28How difficult would it be to roll this out company-wide?
12:30That's the beautiful part.
12:32It's designed to integrate into our existing systems.
12:35Minimal disruption, maximum benefit.
12:38You know what, Lexi?
12:40This actually sounds pretty impressive.
12:43If this works, it could change how we handle the client database completely.
12:46And finally get rid of half the bottlenecks that drive us crazy.
12:50You've got to admit, I really didn't think you had something like this in you.
12:54I've been working towards this for months.
12:56I knew I could make a difference.
12:58I'm going to go tell the boss.
13:10Let's see what she's cooking up here.
13:13Oh, Lexi.
13:14Glad you're here.
13:16Lexi, we need to talk to you.
13:18This is difficult to say, but you're being terminated from your position effective immediately.
13:26What?
13:27Why?
13:27I don't understand.
13:28My work performance has been excellent.
13:30I just had a breakthrough last week.
13:32Your role has become obsolete due to the implementation of the new process.
13:37Technology has made your position unnecessary.
13:40The new process?
13:42That's my platform, isn't it?
13:44Someone stole my idea.
13:46Which one of you was it?
13:47Uh, you know, we actually don't know what you're talking about.
13:50Sorry.
13:51You need to gather your things and leave.
13:57Unbelievable.
13:58You sit here smiling in my face the whole time you were planning this.
14:01Lexi, it's out of our hands.
14:03No.
14:04It was never in your hands, because you don't like to put in the work it takes to do things
14:08the hard way.
14:09This is not the last time you're going to hear from me.
14:11Enjoy the spotlight while you can, because I'll be back.
14:15Ooh, I'm so scared.
14:19I do.
14:20I'll work here.
14:24Lexi?
14:25Is that you?
14:28Wow.
14:29You look different.
14:31What have you been doing since you left?
14:33Exceptional things.
14:35I'm here to discuss a potential partner between my new company and this one.
14:39Wow.
14:40Your company.
14:42Well, that's impressive.
14:43I'm surprised to see you all here.
14:45Still in the same positions.
14:48I would have thought you moved up by now.
14:51Well, not everyone's in a rush to climb ladders.
14:54Some of us value stability.
14:56Maybe the opportunities just weren't there.
14:59You know, promotions don't exactly fall from the sky.
15:02Or maybe.
15:03They just require effort.
15:06Actually, I have to thank whoever stole my idea.
15:08That betrayal motivated me to leave and achieve much greater success elsewhere.
15:14It was the best thing that could have happened to me.
15:16We can see you as an equal now.
15:19Before, you were just this shy, work-obsessed person who didn't fit in.
15:23I mean, let's be honest.
15:26You weren't exactly one of us.
15:28But your success, it really shows what you were capable of all along.
15:33You know, I always thought that you had potential even if...
15:36Even if we didn't treat you the best back then.
15:40I'm curious though.
15:41Who actually took my platform?
15:43Just between us.
15:45I'd love to know.
15:46Why do you want to know?
15:47Yeah, why dig up the past?
15:49It's over.
15:50You should be thanking us for pushing you out.
15:52I'm genuinely curious.
15:54Like I said, it worked out for the best.
15:56No hard feelings.
15:57Besides, it's not like I have a lawyer next door, do I?
16:00This is just curiosity.
16:02Old friends catching up.
16:05Alright, fine.
16:07It was me.
16:09I stole your idea and implemented it.
16:12You know, Evan was actually against it.
16:14He said it wasn't right, but I didn't listen.
16:16Honestly, Lexi, it wasn't personal.
16:20You know, it was just business.
16:21The company needed it and you were, well, expendable.
16:25Yeah.
16:26I supported Kyle's decision.
16:28We figured you were going to be gone anyway, so why not benefit from it?
16:33You were nobody back then.
16:35We didn't think you'd ever resurface, let alone like this.
16:39I actually developed respect for you after seeing your breakthrough.
16:43And I told them not to steal it, but they wouldn't listen.
16:49I should have spoken up louder and I regret not doing more.
16:52I'm so sorry.
16:55Well, this has been very enlightening.
16:58There's something I need to tell you.
17:00I'm the new CEO of this company.
17:02I recently acquired controlling interest and returned to reclaim my position.
17:09That's impossible.
17:13You're joking, right?
17:14I mean, this is just like some kind of prank.
17:16I mean, yeah.
17:17You cannot be serious.
17:19You?
17:21After everything, after we carried this office without you, yeah, please.
17:25Okay.
17:26Kyle, Claire, you're both fired.
17:30Effective immediately.
17:31For theft of intellectual property, unethical behavior, and creating a hostile work environment.
17:37Okay, well, you can't do this.
17:39Hey, I've given years to this company.
17:42You can't just erase that with one sentence.
17:45This isn't fair.
17:46Lexi, think about this.
17:47I mean, you don't want enemies on your first day here as CEO.
17:51Evan, thank you for your integrity and moral opposition to stealing my work.
17:56Your honesty and respect for what was right didn't go unnoticed.
18:03I don't know what to say, but I'll do everything that I can to prove your trust in me isn't
18:10misplaced.
18:10You're promoted to senior development manager.
18:14Your ethical behavior deserves to be rewarded.
18:16The company culture is going to change under my leadership.
18:19Merit, integrity, and hard work will be valued here.
18:24No more shortcuts.
18:25No more bullying.
18:27No more theft.
18:29If you want to succeed here, you'll do it the right way.
18:45You got it, boss.
18:57Hi, everyone.
18:58Who are you?
18:59Um, I'm Mia.
19:02Today is my first day here.
19:03Where exactly did you come from?
19:06Ohio.
19:07No, no.
19:07I mean, like, did you come from the sewer or something?
19:11I mean, look at you.
19:12Those clothes, that hair.
19:14Did you even look in the mirror this morning?
19:17Evelyn, stop it.
19:18Stop what?
19:19I'm just being honest.
19:20She's new here.
19:21You should be welcoming her, not attacking her.
19:24You shouldn't be defending her.
19:26She looks like a homeless person with that giant hole in her shirt.
19:29How is she even allowed to work here like that?
19:32I'm just seriously wondering how you got hired.
19:35You're being extremely rude, Evelyn.
19:38Let her explain herself.
19:39And hey, I'm Leo, by the way.
19:42And this is Evelyn, who apparently forgot all of her manners today.
19:47How charming.
19:48Look, I don't come from money, okay?
19:51I can't afford new clothes right now, but I got this job because of my qualifications,
19:55not because of how I look.
19:57You can say that.
19:59Shut up and listen for once.
20:01Go on.
20:02I was really hoping to be welcomed here, but I guess that was naive of me.
20:08I'm going to work hard to prove that I deserve to be here.
20:11Thank you for sticking up for me.
20:12I really appreciate it.
20:14Of course.
20:16I still can't believe they hired someone who looks like that.
20:19Who exactly hired you anyway?
20:21Um, his name was Jayden.
20:24Is there something I should know about Jayden?
20:27He probably only hired you because he couldn't see you very well on the video call.
20:33I bet you live in like some disgusting little apartment, but he had no idea, so.
20:38Again, I was hired because I'm an excellent software engineer with great skills.
20:42Hmm, yeah.
20:45I don't think so.
20:47Don't listen to her, Mia.
20:49Evelyn has always been the office bully.
20:51You're only saying that because you're in love with me.
20:53You have been since day one.
20:55I would never date you ever.
20:56We've gone over this.
20:57Please.
20:58You probably dream about me every night.
21:00I think I should go find my desk and get settled in.
21:03Um, I'll wait to meet Jayden when he gets back.
21:07Whatever.
21:08I have actual work to do anyways.
21:11And just so you know, Jayden's probably gonna hate you.
21:15I doubt you'll last a week here.
21:17Ignore her, okay?
21:18Come on.
21:18Let me, I'll show you your desk.
21:37You know, you really shouldn't let Evelyn get to you.
21:41She's just a miserable person who puts others down to make herself feel better.
21:44I can tell.
21:46She seems like someone who's really unhappy with her own life.
21:49You've got her figured out perfectly.
21:51That is exactly who she is.
21:55Who's the kid?
21:58Oh, that's my little brother, Tommy.
22:02We, um, we lost our parents in a car accident about three years ago.
22:08I've been taking care of him by myself ever since.
22:11We even had to live on the streets for a while.
22:14I was working two part-time jobs, but it wasn't enough for rent.
22:18I finally managed to get us into a small apartment last year,
22:22but money's still really tight.
22:24Wow, that must be incredibly difficult.
22:26Taking care of someone else when you're barely getting by yourself?
22:30It is hard, but it's made me stronger.
22:34I've learned to be resilient.
22:36Everything I do is for Tommy.
22:38To give him the best life I can.
22:41He's very lucky to have you.
22:42What's going on over here?
22:45Leo, are you seriously hitting on her already?
22:48It's her first day.
22:49That's ridiculous.
22:50We were just talking about her little brother.
22:52I was just showing him a picture of Tommy.
22:55I take care of him.
22:56So you're hitting on a poor little orphan girl?
22:59How romantic.
23:00You two deserve each other.
23:02Evelyn, stop it right now or else.
23:04Or else what?
23:05You'll tattle on me?
23:06You can't do anything, Leo.
23:08You're nobody special here.
23:10Please don't argue because of me.
23:12It's not worth it.
23:14You're right.
23:15I can't wait to talk to Jayden about all this drama.
23:18He'll be back in the office tomorrow so you'll finally get to meet him properly.
23:23Why are you so sure he won't like me?
23:25Because the Jayden you met in that interview is completely different from the Jayden who works here every day.
23:31Trust me on that.
23:32Is she right?
23:33Is Jayden horrible too?
23:35He can be difficult sometimes, but once he sort of sees what you bring to the team,
23:41I'm sure that he's going to be really happy.
23:44Bye.
23:49Well, well, well.
23:50Look at our poor little girls.
23:52Focused on her work.
23:54Good morning, Evelyn.
23:55Do you need something?
23:57Actually, yes.
23:58Jayden just got here and he's dying to meet you properly.
24:01You might want to look presentable, but I guess that's impossible with those rags you're wearing.
24:07Seriously, did you sleep in those clothes?
24:09Hi, you must be Jayden.
24:12And, Mia, we spoke on the phone last week.
24:15Right.
24:16Mia.
24:17See, Jayden, I told you she looks like this every single day.
24:22Two days in a row coming to work like a homeless person.
24:25I know my clothes aren't the best, but...
24:28Mia, when I interviewed you, I had no idea that she showed up looking like this.
24:35This is completely unprofessional, unexcusable.
24:37I understand how it looks, but I don't have a lot of money right now.
24:41I have to pay rent and buy food for me and my little brother, so new clothes aren't really a
24:46priority.
24:46Oh my god, here we go again with the little brother story.
24:52Look, I don't care much about your personal situation.
24:55If you're serious about doing this job, you need to find a way to dress appropriately.
24:59Exactly. If you wanted this job, you would have figured something out.
25:02I am serious about this job. I worked really hard to get here.
25:07Well, you're not making a great impression.
25:09Listen, I'm actually up for a promotion right now, and hiring someone who doesn't even take the time to dress
25:15professionally really, really makes me look bad.
25:18Oh my god, I'm trying to get a promotion too.
25:21Maybe we'll both move up and away from certain people.
25:25I can't wait to be in a hiring management position. Get some real authority around here.
25:30And I'm going to be the marketing manager. I've wanted that position for years.
25:34You, on the other hand, Mia, right, will be lucky if you keep this job. Forget about any promotions in
25:41your future.
25:42If she even has a future here. Please stop treating me like this.
25:47Like, we're just being honest about your situation.
25:52Stop it. Both of you, right now.
25:55Leo, how long have you been standing there?
25:57Long enough, and I recorded everything you just said.
26:00What? You can't do that. That's a violation of privacy.
26:03Actually, I can. And I will make sure HR sees this video if you don't stop bullying Mia immediately.
26:09Oh, please. You're just doing that because you have a crush on her.
26:12Oh, yeah? Leo's in love? How sweet.
26:15That's not what this is about. It's about basic human decency. I want you both to swear that you'll stop
26:20harassing Mia.
26:21And I have connections in HR, so don't test me.
26:24Fine. Whatever.
26:25Yeah, sure. We'll back off your girlfriend.
26:27That's not enough. I want you to apologize to her now.
26:34Sorry, Mia.
26:35Yeah. Sorry about that, Mia.
26:38No.
26:39What?
26:40I said no. You're both terrible people, and I don't accept your fake apologies.
26:46I'm leaving right now. This place is toxic, and I don't need to put up with this treatment.
26:55Mia, wait. This isn't over. I'm gonna make sure that neither of you gets those promotions that you want so
27:01badly.
27:02Wait.
27:03Ugh. Whatever. Let's go. This is stupid.
27:12Mia, wait. What are you gonna do? Don't you need this job and the money?
27:18Actually, I got another job offer this morning. A much better one.
27:22Wow. Really? That's... Well, that's amazing. Congratulations.
27:31And, Leo, you're the only good thing I'll remember about these past two days.
27:38Wait. Will I see you again?
27:42Maybe.
27:55Hello. Remember me? Not really, no.
27:59Give me a second.
28:01Of course I remember you. Wow, Mia, you look... incredible.
28:07I'm sorry. Who are you exactly?
28:10You really don't remember bullying me three years ago just because I didn't have money?
28:15No, it doesn't ring a bell.
28:17Wait. Wait. Yeah, I definitely remember you now.
28:21Because you had those shoes on. And they had the worn-out soles. We call them holy.
28:25And you had the shirt with the hole in it to match the holy shoes. Man, you were really struggling
28:29back then.
28:30Yes, I was. And you both made sure to remind me of it every single day.
28:35Oh, right. I remember you now. The little snowflake who couldn't handle us joking around with her.
28:42Joking.
28:44You were both incredibly cruel to me. You humiliated me in front of the entire office.
28:51You're right. I don't know what I was thinking back then. And I should have behaved much better. And I'm
28:57really sorry about that.
28:58Yes, you should have. But I guess it's too late for apologies now.
29:04So what are you doing here if you resent us so much? Come back to gloat?
29:08Actually, I went on to work for a tech startup. As a software engineer, that startup became incredibly successful. And
29:17I made quite a lot of money from it. Now I'm here because my company is supposed to do a
29:22partnership with this one.
29:25That's fantastic. So you really climbed up the corporate ladder.
29:29That's exactly what happened. After the way you two treated me, it actually motivated me to push even harder for
29:37a better life. So in a way I should thank you both.
29:41God, you're being so dramatic. I remember that about you now. Always so dramatic about everything.
29:48Welcome back, Mia. Okay? I hope this partnership worked out great for everyone.
29:53Speaking of careers, what have you two been up to? Did you ever get those promotions you wanted so badly?
29:59Hmm. Actually, no. After our situation, they kept us in the same position for the last three years and we
30:07tried to get promoted, but Mr. Leo, your friend, had connections in HR and they, well, they told us a
30:15lesson.
30:15Right. A lesson. Please. And what about Leo? He's actually the person I need to speak with about this partnership.
30:23Wow. Look how things turned out. I remember you two having a little crush on each other.
30:29That's ancient history. Whatever you say.
30:32Leo's in his office down the hall. Corner office now because he got promoted to manager after you left.
30:39Perfect. I'll go talk to him. It's interesting to see how some things never change.
30:47Or never to buy new ones.
30:56Leah? Is that really you?
30:59Hey, Leo. It's nice to see that you remember me.
31:03Of course I remember you. How could I forget?
31:08You're very kind.
31:10I have to say, you look absolutely amazing. I mean, wow. You've had quite the transformation.
31:16Your confidence, your style, everything about you just radiates success.
31:21I always knew you had something special, even back then.
31:24You really thought that? Even when I was struggling so much?
31:31Especially then. You had this determination, this fire in your eyes.
31:35I could see you were going to do something amazing with your life.
31:38Thank you. I managed to work my way out of poverty with a good job. But I have something to
31:46tell you.
31:47Wait, wait. Before we get to business, how's your little brother? Tommy, right?
31:52You remembered his name. That's so sweet of you. He's doing great. I can finally give him the life he
31:58deserves.
31:59That's wonderful, Mia. I remember how much you worried about him. You were such a good sister, sacrificing everything for
32:06his future.
32:07I just wanted him to have the chances I never had. And now he does.
32:11I'm really glad to hear that.
32:13What about you? What have you been up to these past three years?
32:16Well, I became manager after you left. I talked to HR about what Evelyn and Jaden did to you and
32:24they didn't get their promotions.
32:26Actually, Jaden got demoted. He couldn't be a manager with that kind of attitude.
32:30So they got what they deserved.
32:33Pretty much. Though now Jaden is trying to get back into management by pretending to be nice to everyone.
32:38He's completely fake. And Evelyn is still as rude as ever. Doesn't care about the work or the company at
32:44all.
32:44Thank you for the update. That's very helpful to know.
32:53I see you got married.
32:57About a year ago.
33:01Congratulations.
33:04That's wonderful.
33:05Are you okay? You seem different all of a sudden.
33:08I'm fine. I'm just processing everything.
33:13It's a lot to take in seeing this place again.
33:17I can imagine.
33:19It must bring back a lot of memories.
33:20Some good, some not so good.
33:24More complicated than I expected.
33:27So what brings you here today?
33:28Right. My company is doing a partnership with yours and I need to discuss the details with the manager, which
33:35would be you.
33:36That's great.
33:37I think I got a message about this partnership, but I had no idea it was your company.
33:41Can you give me about an hour to finish up what I'm working on?
33:44Then we can sit down and go through everything properly.
33:46Of course.
33:48I'll just wait around and come back.
33:50Perfect.
33:51I'll see you soon.
34:03Perfect timing. I was just finishing up.
34:08Okay.
34:09Okay. So about this partnership.
34:10Actually, Leo, I need to tell you something important.
34:14I am actually the...
34:17Okay. Well, actually, you know what?
34:18Before we talk business, I have to say something that's important too.
34:23You look incredibly beautiful today. More beautiful than I remembered.
34:26I've thought about you so many times over the past three years.
34:29Would you want to go to dinner sometime?
34:33Leo, aren't you married?
34:35That's just the technicality.
34:37I never stopped thinking about you after you left.
34:40If you gave me a chance, I would even leave my wife for you.
34:44I can't believe what I'm hearing.
34:47Come on, Mia. We had something special. You can't deny that.
34:50Leo, I am the CEO of this company.
34:54I came here today to see if the people who treated me badly had changed,
34:58to decide whether or not to take my revenge.
35:01But I never expected that you, the one person I thought was decent,
35:06would turn out to be someone willing to cheat on his wife.
35:09You should be flattered that I'm even interested.
35:12You were nobody three years ago, and now you think you're hot stuff?
35:15But you're still the same person underneath.
35:17You're fired, Leo.
35:19What?
35:20At least you've taught me one valuable lesson.
35:23Not to trust people so easily.
35:25You know, whatever.
35:26Good luck being CEO.
35:27You're gonna need it.
35:43Of course I'm faking being nice to Mia. You think I actually care about that girl?
35:47Listen, I'm just hoping that this act will help me get my management position back.
35:50Oh my god, Jaden. I'm so relieved. I thought maybe you were actually forgetting what you did to her.
35:57Never. What? You know how I am. I regret nothing.
36:01Good. Because honestly, even with all that money and those fancy clothes, she still looks cheap to me.
36:06I'm not impressed by her little makeover at all.
36:11Well, this is enlightening.
36:13We were just, um...
36:15I mean, uh...
36:17How long have you been to stay in there?
36:18Long enough to hear your true feelings.
36:21Long enough to know that absolutely nothing has changed.
36:24Look, we're just blowing off steam. Everyone talks about their co-workers sometimes.
36:28Yeah.
36:28Co-workers?
36:30I'm not your co-worker, Evelyn. I'm a visitor here.
36:33And apparently, I'm still your favorite target.
36:36You haven't changed at all, either of you.
36:39You're still the same, fake, cruel people you were three years ago.
36:44I don't care what you think of us. And for the record, you still look poor to me, fancy clothes
36:48or not.
36:49Look, Mia, let me explain.
36:52Stop talking. I know exactly what kind of person you are. Fake, through and through.
36:58Yeah? Alright, whatever. Why should I bother pretending anymore?
37:03I came back here hoping that maybe, just maybe, you two had grown up.
37:08That you learned something about treating people with basic human decency.
37:12But clearly, that was naive of me.
37:14So what are you gonna do? Run away crying like last time? Because I remember that very clearly.
37:20No. Not this time. This time, you're the ones who are leaving.
37:24What?
37:25I'm the new CEO of this company.
37:27I made incredible connections over the past three years.
37:31I worked harder than I ever thought possible.
37:33I studied constantly, networked relentlessly.
37:37I can hardly believe it myself. CEO in just three years.
37:41But here we are.
37:42That doesn't even make sense.
37:44You know what doesn't make sense?
37:46Two people being so lazy, rude, and purposeless, and expecting to keep their jobs.
37:52You're both fired. Effective immediately.
37:55What? You can't just-
37:56I can. And I am.
37:59Fine. I hate this job anyways.
38:01I don't want to work for such a dramatic, petty CEO.
38:04Look, if I'm not getting back into management, I don't need to be here anymore anyway.
38:09Good. Go collect your things and leave. Security will escort you out if necessary.
38:16Come on, Nova. Let's go get a drink. Celebrate being rid of this cheap place.
38:22Hell yeah. Move.
38:25Of course.
38:25Grandpa from.
38:27From.
38:27To.
38:28To.
38:28properlySHIP.
38:28mike n
