00:00:00My name is Chloe Nash, Mr. Julian Russell's personal secretary, and the woman he's kept hidden for five years.

00:00:08Chloe, did you see the news? Mr. Russell is getting engaged.

00:00:31Mr. Russell, you're getting engaged.

00:00:39So you do care, don't you?

00:00:46Your overseas conference starts in 20 minutes. You should head to the office.

00:00:52That's all you have to say?

00:00:53If you're getting engaged, whatever this between us should end too.

00:00:58How exactly do you plan to end it?

00:00:59Don't worry, Mr. Russell. I'll still be your secretary. Work won't be affected.

00:01:04This thing between us has never ended just because you said so.

00:01:08If you want me, this is the last time, Mr. Russell.

00:01:12Consider it my goodbye.

00:01:13So sleeping with me is just part of the job to you?

00:01:15What a buzzkill.

00:01:22Julian, is this why I can only ever be your mistress while you marry someone else?

00:01:35Why are you here?

00:01:36Mrs. Nash, the boss sent it to you.

00:01:40Sweetheart, we have less than a month before the deadline.

00:01:43I finally found you three years ago, but you still refuse to come home.

00:01:46Remember what you promised me.

00:01:47If time runs out, you still haven't made things official with the man you love.

00:01:51You come home and take over the family.

00:01:55Tell Dad I understand.

00:02:04Julian, it's been five years.

00:02:06Only one month left.

00:02:07I don't think I can hold on much longer.

00:02:11Russell Group President Julian Russell is engaged to Hastings Group heiress, Yana Hastings.

00:02:15He personally picked her up at the airport, and the two looked close.

00:02:17I heard Hastings Group is a major multinational, and Miss Hastings is gorgeous in person.

00:02:22I thought Chloe was going to be the future Mrs. Russell.

00:02:24Those marks on her neck?

00:02:25Come on, who else would they be from?

00:02:26Please.

00:02:27This is a marriage alliance between two powerful families.

00:02:29She's just a secretary.

00:02:30She's lucky enough to be the woman Mr. Russell keeps on the side.

00:02:36Back to work.

00:02:37The company doesn't pay you to stand around gossiping.

00:02:41Chloe, are you okay?

00:03:00What happened out there?

00:03:07Mr. Russell, we're at the office.

00:03:17Mood killer.

00:03:19You're coming with me.

00:03:20To the business dinner with Louis tonight.

00:03:24Louis?

00:03:25The Louis who harassed female employees and even got someone killed?

00:03:30You never used to let female staff entertain him.

00:03:42Aren't you curious about work?

00:03:54You can't handle one dinner with Louis?

00:03:57You can't handle one dinner with Louis?

00:04:11You can't handle one dinner with Louis?

00:04:21Julian!

00:04:36So this is Miss Chloe, Mr. Russell.

00:04:39I'm surprised you brought your pretty little secret out tonight.

00:04:43Come here, sweetheart. Sit with me.

00:04:46I...

00:04:47Mr. Lewis is asking you to sit with him.

00:04:49You should be flattered.

00:04:50Being wanted by him is a compliment.

00:04:53What's wrong, Miss Chloe? You don't like me?

00:05:04Of course not. Let me drink to you first.

00:05:07Thank you for thinking so high of me.

00:05:14I need to find a way out of this.

00:05:20I'm so sorry, Mr. Lewis.

00:05:22It's fine. It's just a jacket.

00:05:26Why don't you come with me while I change?

00:05:31Julian, I'm borrowing your secretary tonight.

00:05:45Mr. Russell is really just letting Louie take Chloe away.

00:05:48He's been sleeping with Chloe for five years.

00:05:50My guess, he's tired of her.

00:05:57Baby, I finally have you.

00:06:00I belong to Julian.

00:06:03You still don't get what Julian is telling you?

00:06:05He's done with you.

00:06:07Mr. Lewis,

00:06:09haven't you always wanted the land at 5 Doyle Street?

00:06:12I can help you get it.

00:06:19Sir, will Miss Chloe be okay?

00:06:23She always finds a way to handle everything perfectly.

00:06:27Work is all she cares about, right?

00:06:38What do you mean?

00:06:40The land at 5 Doyle Street belongs to the Nash family, doesn't it?

00:06:43Russell Group offered a fortune and still couldn't get it.

00:06:47You're telling me you can pull it off?

00:06:51I happen to know the Nash Andress.

00:06:57Well, that's interesting.

00:06:58However, I do have one question.

00:07:01You'd go behind Julian's back for me?

00:07:03Aren't you afraid he'll find out?

00:07:05All I know is,

00:07:07if it weren't for him,

00:07:09I wouldn't be here.

00:07:12Interesting.

00:07:18Miss Chloe,

00:07:20it was a pleasure meeting you.

00:07:24Dinner's on me next time.

00:07:31Julian,

00:07:33thanks for the hospitality.

00:07:47What

00:07:48happened in there?

00:07:51What happened in there?

00:07:55You should know better than anyone.

00:08:00Don't forget.

00:08:01You're mine.

00:08:02Mr. Russell,

00:08:03I was in there with him for half an hour.

00:08:05You know what can happen in half an hour,

00:08:06don't you?

00:08:09Chloe,

00:08:10so I'm not special.

00:08:11Any man will do.

00:08:12Is that it?

00:08:14Fine.

00:08:15Fine.

00:08:16That's just great.

00:08:20Julian,

00:08:21you don't get to judge me.

00:08:23You have a fiance,

00:08:25and you handed me over like I was nothing.

00:08:29What am I to you?

00:08:30Tell me.

00:08:34Chloe,

00:08:35are you really resigning?

00:08:40But you helped build Russell Group into what it is today.

00:08:44They need you.

00:08:47Mr. Russell is getting engaged.

00:08:49If I stay,

00:08:50I'll only make things awkward for him.

00:08:55Don't worry.

00:08:56Before I officially submit my resignation,

00:08:58I'll make sure the handover is done properly.

00:09:08Sir,

00:09:08I took care of Louis,

00:09:10just as you asked.

00:09:11That bastard won't be getting out of bed

00:09:12for at least half a month.

00:09:17You're such professional.

00:09:18No matter what happens,

00:09:19you still show up to work like nothing happened.

00:09:22Is work all you care about?

00:09:25Mr. Russell,

00:09:26once you've signed my resignation letter,

00:09:29I'll come back for it.

00:09:42Are you angry?

00:09:44Mr. Russell,

00:09:45you have a fiance now.

00:09:47Whatever this is between us

00:09:49should end sooner rather than later.

00:09:52You care that much about my fiance?

00:09:57I don't get involved with another woman's man.

00:10:02Another woman's man?

00:10:05Didn't you sleep with Louis too?

00:10:11Have you forgotten, Mr. Russell?

00:10:13You were the one who handed me over to him.

00:10:15Chloe,

00:10:15you always know exactly how to piss me off.

00:10:24Come with me.

00:10:28Let me go!

00:10:34Test her for STDs.

00:10:37Julian,

00:10:37are you insane?

00:10:38I'm not doing this.

00:10:40I won't.

00:10:4130 minutes.

00:10:42I want the results.

00:10:44I want the results.

00:10:55Julian,

00:10:56are you really going to humiliate me like this?

00:11:06Mr. Russell,

00:11:07Miss Chloe's results are back.

00:11:09There's nothing wrong with her.

00:11:12satisfied now?

00:11:16Julian,

00:11:17I'm done.

00:11:17I'm resigning.

00:11:19Thanks for one last employee health check.

00:11:21What is that supposed to mean?

00:11:24It means I'm done with whatever this is between us.

00:11:26I quit!

00:11:28I quit!

00:11:44What exactly are they doing?

00:11:46Didn't you want to resign?

00:11:48This house was provided by the company.

00:11:51So you couldn't wait to kick me out?

00:11:53That was fast.

00:11:57I know you have nowhere to go here,

00:11:58and no one to turn to.

00:12:00Apologize for what happened today,

00:12:02and I'll pretend it never happened.

00:12:04Of course you can pretend it never happened.

00:12:07You weren't the one being humiliated.

00:12:09Chloe,

00:12:09for the past five years,

00:12:11I paid for your food,

00:12:13your clothes,

00:12:13your home,

00:12:14everything!

00:12:15Without me,

00:12:16where do you think you'd go?

00:12:18That's not your problem.

00:12:33Find out whose car that was.

00:12:39Colin,

00:12:40what are you doing here today?

00:12:44It's my little sister's birthday.

00:12:48Of course I had to show up.

00:12:54Hello, Miss Chloe.

00:12:56After review,

00:12:56the company has determined

00:12:57that you failed to fulfill your duties

00:12:59as secretary under the contract.

00:13:00You are required to pay $10 million

00:13:02in breach of contract damages.

00:13:04What?

00:13:05$10 million for leaving early?

00:13:08Only $10 million.

00:13:09It's not like we can't afford it.

00:13:12There's less than a muffed on the contract.

00:13:14I'm not letting him take $10 million

00:13:16from me for nothing.

00:13:17I'm not the one in the wrong.

00:13:37Didn't you say you were resigning yesterday?

00:13:40What are you doing back at work now?

00:13:42Mr. Russell,

00:13:43are you joking?

00:13:44With that kind of penalty,

00:13:46how could I possibly afford to leave?

00:13:52So money is the only thing

00:13:54that can make you back down?

00:13:56If there's nothing else,

00:13:57I'll get back to work.

00:13:58Is there really nothing else for us to say?

00:14:01What do you want me to say?

00:14:02That the dinner with Louis

00:14:04wasn't arranged by you?

00:14:05Or that your engagement isn't real?

00:14:12It's rare to see you angry.

00:14:14I thought no matter what I did to you,

00:14:15that face of yours would never change.

00:14:17Even if I don't resign,

00:14:19we're still just employer and employee.

00:14:21Mr. Russell,

00:14:22please keep your distance.

00:14:28Miss Chloe.

00:14:30Mr. Sean.

00:14:32This is the necklace Mr. Russell ordered specially.

00:14:35He said it had to be delivered

00:14:37as soon as possible.

00:14:41Isn't this...

00:14:45Mr. Russell,

00:14:46the gift for the business partner

00:14:48has already been sent to the office.

00:14:50Got it.

00:14:52You like that one?

00:14:58You have excellent taste, Miss.

00:15:00This necklace is our signature piece.

00:15:01The sapphire is called Eternal Love.

00:15:03It symbolizes everlasting love.

00:15:11Miss Chloe, today is your birthday.

00:15:13This must be for you, right?

00:15:17You can take it in first.

00:15:19Are you still mad at Mr. Russell?

00:15:21Mr. Sean, we're at work.

00:15:22I don't want to talk about this.

00:15:28Julian, what do you want from me?

00:15:32What do you want from me?

00:15:42This is the future Mrs. Russell.

00:15:44Oh my God, she's a real Arab.

00:15:46Beautiful, polished the whole pack.

00:15:47Right.

00:15:48Some people really thought sleeping with Mr. Russell

00:15:49meant they could marry into the Russell family.

00:15:51Please, wake up.

00:15:52She's just a secretary Mr. Russell already threw away.

00:15:55How could she ever compare to Miss Hastings?

00:16:08What are you doing here?

00:16:11Sophia and the others booked out Motzat Bar tonight to welcome me back.

00:16:14I came to ask you to come with me.

00:16:18Is this necklace your engagement gift for me?

00:16:21So beautiful.

00:16:23What's wrong?

00:16:25It's not for me, but I'm already wearing it.

00:16:27It's just a necklace.

00:16:28You're wearing it, so it's yours.

00:16:30I love it.

00:16:32Let's go.

00:16:32Oh, and invite your secretary tonight, too.

00:16:34It's a private gathering.

00:16:35Why bring her?

00:16:36Sir, the meeting is about to start.

00:16:45Just a secretary who slept with Julian.

00:16:48She should have known she was never the one he'd keep.

00:16:54Colin, thank you for setting all this up.

00:16:56It's your birthday.

00:16:57I wanted it to feel special.

00:17:00How are things with Julian?

00:17:02Don't forget the deal you made with Dad.

00:17:07What's happened?

00:17:08Julian asked me to meet him at Mosul Bar.

00:17:11What does he want you there for?

00:17:13I heard his engagement to Yana is a family arrangement.

00:17:15He said he'd give me an answer.

00:17:17Colin, I haven't lost the deal with Dad yet.

00:17:20I want to give it one last shot.

00:17:21Chloe, you could be the Nash and Ress, and instead you chose to be his secretary.

00:17:25Actually, he used to be good to me.

00:17:31What is this?

00:17:33Did the company hire you to turn in crap like this?

00:17:37Calm down.

00:17:38Everyone makes mistakes when they're starting up.

00:17:40Give her a chance.

00:17:43You'll work with me from now on.

00:18:01Here's one million.

00:18:03Use it for your mother's treatment.

00:18:05Don't look so sad.

00:18:06You'll ruin that pretty face.

00:18:10Why are you still here?

00:18:12I still have some work to finish.

00:18:15Let me see.

00:18:16This part, this part, and this part are all wrong.

00:18:19I'll walk you through it.

00:18:19Watch closely.

00:18:22Julian, I hope tonight you finally give me an answer.

00:18:31Julian, it's Chloe's birthday today.

00:18:34You used to spend this day with her every year.

00:18:36What changed this year?

00:18:38Don't tell me you're actually getting engaged to Yana.

00:18:41Can I?

00:18:42We all thought you and Chloe would end up together.

00:18:44We just didn't expect you to get engaged to Yana out of nowhere.

00:18:47You just don't get it.

00:18:48A girl like Chloe with no family behind her?

00:18:51You have your fun, give her some money, and move on.

00:18:53You didn't actually think she could marry into the Russell family, did you?

00:18:57In the end, you have to marry an heiress like Yana.

00:19:00Right, Julian?

00:19:02All she thinks about is work.

00:19:06What, I'm supposed to marry her and come home to that cold face every day?

00:19:12What are you talking about?

00:19:15Yana, did my cousin give you this necklace?

00:19:19Exactly.

00:19:20Beautiful, right?

00:19:21It's his engagement gift to me.

00:19:29Julian, I don't mind that you had something with Chloe before.

00:19:41But I'm not Chloe.

00:19:44I can give you something she never could.

00:19:49Something different, how?

00:19:52Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.

00:19:56Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.

00:20:07Julian, is this the answer you wanted to give me?

00:20:15What are you even doing here?

00:20:19But you're the one who told me to-

00:20:20Secretary Chloe,

00:20:21I just really wanted to thank you for taking such good care of Julian all these years.

00:20:28Now that I'm his fiancée, I'm sure I'll be coming to you for advice a lot.

00:20:35But hey, since you're already here, why don't you have a drink with us?

00:20:41If Miss Hastings wants to grab a drink, how could I say no?

00:20:45Well, and as for anything you want to know, ask away.

00:20:49I'll tell you whatever you want.

00:20:54You're unbelievable, Chloe.

00:20:55You really can just fake a smile for anyone, can't you?

00:20:58Well, I learned from the best, Mr. Russell.

00:21:02Julian, come on.

00:21:05I just wanted to have a quick drink with Chloe.

00:21:07Is that seriously too much to ask?

00:21:09Don't worry about it, Miss Hastings.

00:21:11It's just one drink.

00:21:16This is a private gathering.

00:21:17You shouldn't be here.

00:21:19Just go home.

00:21:21Julian, babe.

00:21:26Chloe works for you.

00:21:28It's not like any of us mind.

00:21:30Besides, I actually wanted to ask her for a favor anyway.

00:21:34Know your place.

00:21:35Even if they don't mind, it doesn't mean you get to cross the line.

00:21:38Leave.

00:21:38Now.

00:21:39We'll talk about tonight later.

00:21:42You're right, Mr. Russell.

00:21:43My bad.

00:21:44I don't belong here.

00:21:45Julian, I get it.

00:21:46That's your answer.

00:21:48I guess it's time for me to finally wake up and face reality.

00:21:51Sorry to ruin the mood, everyone.

00:21:53Mr. Russell, I wish you and Miss Hastings a great life together.

00:22:02Julian, seriously?

00:22:04Do you want to make a scene in front of everyone?

00:22:08Being my fiancé doesn't give you the right to mess with my business.

00:22:11And it definitely doesn't mean you can boss my people around.

00:22:16Got it?

00:22:25Julian must be under a ton of stress.

00:22:28It's that bitch, Chloe.

00:22:29I swear.

00:22:30She literally came here tonight just to wreck the vibe.

00:22:34Don't worry, Yana.

00:22:36I am absolutely going to make her pay.

00:22:42Sir, Miss Chloe is home.

00:22:47Colin, the bet with Dad.

00:22:51I lost.

00:22:52Chloe!

00:22:53Chloe!

00:22:54Someone call a doctor!

00:23:00Chloe, why are you up so early?

00:23:04You passed out last night after getting caught in the rain.

00:23:06You should stay in bed and rest.

00:23:08I'm fine.

00:23:09I feel much better this morning.

00:23:13Don't tell me you're still going to work at Russell Group.

00:23:16If you ask me, you should just come home.

00:23:19I can hand the Nash family businesses over to you right now.

00:23:22And we can announce who you are.

00:23:23All right, Colin.

00:23:24You can do that.

00:23:25But wait until I officially resign, okay?

00:23:27I want nothing to do with Russell Group anymore.

00:23:29You're not still hoping for something with Julian, are you?

00:23:32Colin, what are you thinking?

00:23:33After last night, I've made up my mind.

00:23:35He and I are over.

00:23:37Don't worry.

00:23:37I'm going to hand in my resignation today.

00:23:39Are you sure?

00:23:40Chloe, you were missing for years,

00:23:42raised by your adoptive mother.

00:23:43And you went through so much.

00:23:45But I need you to remember,

00:23:46you're not that helpless little girl anymore.

00:23:48Your brother has your back,

00:23:49and so does the Nash family.

00:23:51I'm not letting anyone push you around ever again.

00:23:54Don't worry, Colin.

00:23:55I get it.

00:23:56I'm not letting anyone walk all over me again.

00:24:00I'll be fine, Colin.

00:24:06Miss Chloe,

00:24:08Mr. Russell wants to see you in his office.

00:24:12All right.

00:24:13I'll be right there.

00:24:19Mr. Russell,

00:24:20Mr. Russell, you wanted to see me?

00:24:21Come here.

00:24:22Help me with this.

00:24:23Also, about what happened last night.

00:24:27I'm afraid tying ties isn't part of my job description.

00:24:31Mr. Russell,

00:24:32if you're desperate for help,

00:24:33I can ask the secretary's office

00:24:35to assign you a personal assistant.

00:24:41Are you throwing a tantrum now?

00:24:43You must be joking, Mr. Russell.

00:24:46I'm simply stating the facts.

00:24:52You didn't approve my last resignation letter,

00:24:54so I'm resubmitting it today.

00:24:57Don't worry.

00:24:57I'll take care of the handover.

00:24:59There won't be any loose ends.

00:25:05Oh, this act again?

00:25:06Tell me, Chloe,

00:25:07what else can you even do

00:25:08besides being my secretary?

00:25:10You don't need to worry about that, Mr. Russell.

00:25:12You just need to review it

00:25:13and sign off on it.

00:25:16What if I don't?

00:25:20I'm handing this in

00:25:21according to company policy.

00:25:24Whether you approve it or not,

00:25:25I'm a free agent in a month.

00:25:28What about this month?

00:25:35If you don't want to be my secretary,

00:25:37then beat it and sell cars

00:25:38for the next month.

00:25:41Understood.

00:25:54Julian.

00:25:56I have a meeting to attend.

00:25:57If there's nothing important,

00:25:58you should head back.

00:26:03I have a meeting to attend.

00:26:10Sophia, come car shopping with me this afternoon.

00:26:14Spit it out.

00:26:16I heard you transferred Miss Chloe to sales.

00:26:19Selling cars means being out in the elements all day.

00:26:23How is she supposed to handle that?

00:26:26I've been too soft on her lately.

00:26:28Let her hit a wall

00:26:30and she'll come crawling back.

00:26:33Resigning?

00:26:34She's nothing without me.

00:26:36Cancel my afternoon.

00:26:38I'm heading downtown.

00:26:39Downtown?

00:26:40Isn't that where Miss Chloe is selling cars now?

00:26:54Miss Hastings, Miss Sophia.

00:26:57Well, look who it is.

00:26:58The great Chloe Nash.

00:27:00Look at you now, reduced to selling cars.

00:27:02It's just a job.

00:27:04And the money is good,

00:27:05so I'm fine with it.

00:27:06Don't kid yourself.

00:27:08You were so high and mighty

00:27:09when you were clinging to my cousin

00:27:11and now he kicked you to the curb.

00:27:13Yana is on a whole different level.

00:27:16My cousin gave her a $10 million necklace

00:27:18and now he's buying her a car.

00:27:21Sophia, stop.

00:27:23Chloe used to be with Julian.

00:27:25He wouldn't do this to her.

00:27:28Yana, you are way too nice.

00:27:31I just can't stand people like her.

00:27:33She's so cheap.

00:27:35Miss Sophia,

00:27:35if you have a problem with me,

00:27:37I can get someone else to help you.

00:27:40No way.

00:27:40I want you.

00:27:42Get the keys.

00:27:43I want a test drive.

00:27:45Well, thank you for the business, Miss Sophia.

00:27:51Yana, watch and learn.

00:27:53Watch how I mess with her.

00:27:55Sophia,

00:27:56I know she's a nobody,

00:27:57but whatever she had with Julian,

00:28:00it was real.

00:28:01Not if we keep my cousin in the dark.

00:28:03Besides,

00:28:04she is a nobody.

00:28:06Even if he finds out,

00:28:08is he really going to come after me for her?

00:28:10Drop it.

00:28:22Oh my God!

00:28:23Look at this scratch!

00:28:25Chloe, you did this on purpose, didn't you?

00:28:30Miss Sophia,

00:28:31we will find out what happened here.

00:28:33But until then,

00:28:34you have absolutely no right to lay a finger on me.

00:28:41You.

00:28:42Chloe, I've always been nice to you.

00:28:44Wish me you have to do this.

00:28:46She's just jealous of you.

00:28:48I'm telling you, this isn't over.

00:28:50Where the hell is the manager?

00:28:52Miss Sophia!

00:28:53Sophia, I had no idea you were coming today.

00:28:56Get Miss Sophia some water.

00:28:58Your sales in here scratched the car and tried to blame it on me.

00:29:02What are you going to do about it?

00:29:04Miss Chloe is usually except meticulous with her work.

00:29:06Could there possibly be some sort of misunderstanding?

00:29:08She did it on purpose.

00:29:10Oh, and let me introduce you.

00:29:11This is my cousin's fiance,

00:29:13the future Mrs. Russell.

00:29:14The future Mrs. Russell?

00:29:16Oh my God, my absolute apologies.

00:29:18Chloe,

00:29:19this is our latest arrival.

00:29:20It was in pristine condition when I personally inspected it.

00:29:23How did it end up ruined the second it hit your hands?

00:29:26The key is right there in her hand.

00:29:27She definitely did it.

00:29:28I just got this key from the front desk.

00:29:30You can check it yourself.

00:29:32But Miss Sophia has been holding on to her own keys this whole time too.

00:29:36There are cameras here.

00:29:37Let's check the footage.

00:29:38Well,

00:29:39the cameras have been broken for a while.

00:29:42It's broken?

00:29:44Ladies like Miss Sophia and the future Mrs. Russell would never set you up.

00:29:47You'll have to take the blame for this.

00:29:48This film is a special heat-sensitive material.

00:29:51It changes color from friction and heat.

00:29:54I mean,

00:29:55if someone just keyed the car,

00:29:57that key will have residue all over it right now.

00:30:02Are you crazy?

00:30:04What do you think you're doing?

00:30:16Miss Sophia,

00:30:17the bottom line is you scratched the car.

00:30:20So,

00:30:21are you going to pay for the damage

00:30:22or just buy the whole thing?

00:30:25Yana,

00:30:26please.

00:30:28Chloe,

00:30:28can we just let it go?

00:30:29You didn't seem interested in letting it go

00:30:31when you were giving me a hard time earlier,

00:30:33Miss Hastings.

00:30:35Miss Sophia,

00:30:36are you going to sign the paperwork now?

00:30:38Where the hell am I supposed to get that kind of money?

00:30:41Then you'd better scrape the money together.

00:30:43Otherwise,

00:30:43we'll call the cops and do this the hard way.

00:30:45No way!

00:30:46Sophia,

00:30:47maybe you should just buy it before this gets out of hand.

00:30:49If your family finds out,

00:30:50you're going to be in deep trouble.

00:30:53Fine!

00:30:54I'll sign it!

00:30:57I'll sign it!

00:31:00What the hell is going on here?

00:31:04Julian,

00:31:05I just came by to look at some cars.

00:31:07I didn't expect to run into Chloe working here.

00:31:10What a coincidence.

00:31:11Chloe deliberately set a trap

00:31:13to force me into buying this car.

00:31:15I can't afford it at all!

00:31:16Is that true?

00:31:17Mr. Russell,

00:31:18Miss Sophia damaged one of our cars first.

00:31:20I'm just holding her accountable

00:31:22according to company policy.

00:31:23Is there a problem with that?

00:31:26It was a total accident,

00:31:28but she actually threatened

00:31:29to call the cops on me.

00:31:30I told you before,

00:31:31she was already acting high and mighty

00:31:34when she was clinging to you.

00:31:35She's always had a nasty streak.

00:31:37Julian,

00:31:38maybe you could put in a word for Sophia

00:31:40so we can put this behind us.

00:31:42This dealership will belong to the Russell Group

00:31:44sooner or later anyway,

00:31:45so this is basically family business.

00:31:48Besides,

00:31:49Sophia is still so young.

00:31:51Where is she supposed to come up

00:31:52with that kind of money?

00:31:53Okay.

00:31:59Come on, Julian.

00:32:01I'm literally begging you here.

00:32:04Whatever you want.

00:32:07If you say it's fine,

00:32:08it's fine.

00:32:10See, Yana?

00:32:11I told you,

00:32:12he completely wraps himself

00:32:13around your finger,

00:32:14unlike some people

00:32:16who spent five entire years here

00:32:17and still have absolutely

00:32:19nothing to show for it.

00:32:21Sophia,

00:32:22don't be like that.

00:32:25Chloe,

00:32:25I'm really sorry about Sophia,

00:32:27but hey,

00:32:28Julian already said it's fine,

00:32:30so let's just move on.

00:32:32Julian,

00:32:33it's amazing how easily

00:32:34you let things slide

00:32:35the second she opens her mouth.

00:32:37It's your car, Mr. Russell.

00:32:39You call the shots.

00:32:40You see it now, Chloe?

00:32:42Even when I trash a car on purpose.

00:32:44One word from Yana,

00:32:46and Juliet just glosses over it.

00:32:48You are never, ever

00:32:50going to be first in line with him.

00:32:51He's out here

00:32:52buying a brand new car

00:32:54for the woman he's engaged to

00:32:56as a gift.

00:32:57And look at you.

00:32:58You're just the help selling it.

00:33:01Who exactly said Chloe

00:33:02is stuck selling cars?

00:33:09What are you doing here?

00:33:11Checking up on you, obviously.

00:33:13Wait,

00:33:14aren't you Colin Nash?

00:33:17The heir to the Nash family?

00:33:19Wow, Chloe,

00:33:20you definitely didn't waste any time

00:33:22finding a backup plan, did you?

00:33:24No wonder you walked out

00:33:25on my cousin so easily.

00:33:27You already lined up

00:33:28an upgrade.

00:33:30Mr. Russell?

00:33:32Mr. Nash?

00:33:33Can I help you with something?

00:33:37Bring me the keys

00:33:38to my Bugatti Chaitan.

00:33:40Wait,

00:33:41you're the buyer for the Chaitan?

00:33:42The only one in the whole country?

00:33:44Oh my God, Mr. Nash,

00:33:45please forgive my ignorance.

00:33:46Let me get on that for you

00:33:47right this second.

00:33:47I'll be back in a flash.

00:33:51Here are your keys

00:33:52and all the necessary paperwork,

00:33:53Mr. Nash.

00:33:56This is for you, Chloe.

00:34:06Oh my God, Colin,

00:34:07this is way too expensive.

00:34:09It's just a car, Chloe.

00:34:14I mean, come on.

00:34:16Since when am I not allowed

00:34:16to spoil you?

00:34:22I love it.

00:34:23Julian,

00:34:24remember how everyone

00:34:25called Chloe fridge

00:34:26and boring?

00:34:27Well, look at her.

00:34:28All smiles.

00:34:29She really does love Colin, right?

00:34:31Now that she's finally

00:34:33hooked herself a new sugar daddy,

00:34:34you don't have to worry

00:34:35about her anymore.

00:34:39Yana,

00:34:40you're way too soft on her.

00:34:42If I were you,

00:34:43I'd have put her

00:34:44in her place

00:34:45a long time ago.

00:34:49Well, Mr. Russell,

00:34:50Chloe's shift is over.

00:34:51We'll be taking our leave.

00:34:56She's not going anywhere.

00:34:58Why?

00:35:00Chloe answers to me.

00:35:02She doesn't leave this room

00:35:03unless I say so.

00:35:06If I remember correctly,

00:35:08Chloe already handed

00:35:08in her resignation.

00:35:11If you want to walk away

00:35:13with a streat of dignity,

00:35:14sign the damn papers

00:35:15instead of making

00:35:16a scene in public.

00:35:17Why does he know

00:35:18everything about us?

00:35:21Because when it comes to her,

00:35:23I make it my business

00:35:24to know everything.

00:35:29Julian, wait.

00:35:31Aren't you going to stay

00:35:32and help me pick a car?

00:35:34Hands off.

00:35:36He knows everything

00:35:37about her, Julian.

00:35:38There is clearly

00:35:39something going on

00:35:40between them.

00:35:41Are you really going

00:35:43to humiliate yourself

00:35:44for her anyway?

00:35:52What is calling to you?

00:35:55Tell me.

00:35:58This is none of your business.

00:36:00Have you forgotten

00:36:00who you answer to?

00:36:02Answer to you?

00:36:04Mr. Russell,

00:36:05I was an employee

00:36:05on your payroll,

00:36:06not your property.

00:36:07And for the record,

00:36:08whatever this was between us

00:36:09ended a long time ago.

00:36:11Ended?

00:36:11You don't get to make that call.

00:36:13No wonder you were

00:36:13so desperate to quit.

00:36:15You'd already latched

00:36:16onto Colin.

00:36:16What, did the Nash money

00:36:17look better than what

00:36:18Russell Group was paying you?

00:36:20Five whole years with me,

00:36:22and the second you find

00:36:23another man,

00:36:23you cut me off

00:36:24just like that.

00:36:25I guess I never knew

00:36:26you at all, Chloe.

00:36:27You're even cheaper

00:36:29than I thought.

00:36:31Watch your mouth.

00:36:32You and I only ever

00:36:33had a professional relationship.

00:36:35And as of now,

00:36:36I'm not even

00:36:37your secretary anymore.

00:36:39Even if I were

00:36:40with someone right now,

00:36:41you don't get to judge me.

00:36:43Not a chance!

00:36:48You're out of line,

00:36:49Mr. Russell.

00:36:49Mr. Nash,

00:36:50don't tell me

00:36:50you're naive enough

00:36:51to think she wasn't

00:36:52mine first.

00:36:54So what?

00:36:54She was blind back then.

00:36:56Now she's finally

00:36:57opened her eyes.

00:36:58How far has it gone

00:37:00between you two?

00:37:01Look at me

00:37:01and tell me!

00:37:05I said,

00:37:06don't touch her!

00:37:08Don't you think

00:37:08you're making a scene?

00:37:09Mr. Russell,

00:37:10the woman you're engaged to

00:37:11is standing right over there.

00:37:13And yet you're here

00:37:14clinging to Chloe.

00:37:16Julian,

00:37:17what's going on?

00:37:18Is there a problem

00:37:19with the company project?

00:37:21Mr. Russell,

00:37:22what gives you the right

00:37:23to interrogate me

00:37:24about my private life?

00:37:26If you still think

00:37:27you're my boss,

00:37:28you're way out of line.

00:37:30As for me and Colin,

00:37:32think whatever you want.

00:37:33Whatever you think we are,

00:37:35that's what we are.

00:37:36So it is about

00:37:37the money, Chloe.

00:37:38Was everything

00:37:39I paid you over the years

00:37:40still not enough for you?

00:37:43Money?

00:37:44You bet.

00:37:45I'm all about the money.

00:37:47Did it take you this long

00:37:48to figure that out?

00:37:50Look,

00:37:51at the car he just bought me.

00:37:53He's incredibly generous.

00:37:54Compared to you,

00:37:55Mr. Russell,

00:37:56he's a massive step up.

00:37:58Why wouldn't I choose him?

00:37:59Over you?

00:38:01What would I even

00:38:02stay with you for?

00:38:03To keep being

00:38:03your dirty little secret,

00:38:05waiting on you

00:38:05hand and foot?

00:38:07Well,

00:38:07everyone wants to secure

00:38:08a better future

00:38:09for themselves,

00:38:09so I completely

00:38:10understand Chloe's choice.

00:38:12Honestly,

00:38:13I should probably thank you

00:38:14for stepping out

00:38:14of the picture

00:38:15so Julia and I

00:38:16can finally be together.

00:38:17Enough!

00:38:18I'm just telling the truth.

00:38:20Oh,

00:38:20by the way,

00:38:20Chloe,

00:38:21Julian and I

00:38:21are throwing our

00:38:22engagement party

00:38:23in three days.

00:38:23You'll come,

00:38:24right?

00:38:25It would mean so much

00:38:26to have your blessing.

00:38:27Yana,

00:38:27why on earth

00:38:28are you inviting her?

00:38:29Did you forget

00:38:29what happened at the bar?

00:38:30If she shows up,

00:38:31she's just gonna find

00:38:32another way to

00:38:32claw her way back

00:38:33into my cousin's life.

00:38:34Well,

00:38:34now that Chloe

00:38:35has moved up

00:38:35in the world,

00:38:36I'm sure she has

00:38:37no reason to bother

00:38:37Julian anymore.

00:38:38Right,

00:38:39Chloe?

00:38:39Yana!

00:38:40Relax,

00:38:41Julian.

00:38:42I'm being sincere.

00:38:43Chloe,

00:38:44don't you?

00:38:47Don't worry.

00:38:48Chloe and I

00:38:49wouldn't miss it

00:38:49for the world.

00:38:50I'm gonna make him

00:38:51realize exactly

00:38:52how blind he's been.

00:38:59Fine.

00:39:00I'll be there

00:39:01and you have my blessing.

00:39:04Very well.

00:39:06Thank you, then.

00:39:11Chloe!

00:39:19You two better

00:39:19watch yourselves

00:39:20at the party

00:39:21in three days.

00:39:22Don't start anything.

00:39:25I will make you forget

00:39:27all about her,

00:39:28Julian.

00:39:28You belong to me

00:39:29and me alone.

00:39:32I'm tied up

00:39:33in an emergency meeting

00:39:34and can't get away

00:39:34right now.

00:39:35But I'll head over

00:39:36the second it wraps out.

00:39:38Are you gonna be

00:39:38okay on your own?

00:39:39Colin,

00:39:40I'll be fine.

00:39:41Go take care of meeting.

00:39:42All right.

00:39:43If anything happens,

00:39:44call me right away.

00:39:48Chloe,

00:39:49there you are.

00:39:52Here,

00:39:53take this.

00:39:58Miss Hastings,

00:39:59what is this

00:39:59supposed to mean?

00:40:00We have way

00:40:01too many guests tonight

00:40:02and the event staff

00:40:03is completely overwhelmed.

00:40:05Technically,

00:40:07you're still

00:40:08an employee,

00:40:09so it's not too much

00:40:10to ask for you

00:40:11to pitch in,

00:40:12right?

00:40:13This isn't my job.

00:40:16I know,

00:40:17but I'm desperate here.

00:40:19Look,

00:40:20I heard your contract

00:40:21is the only reason

00:40:22you haven't been able

00:40:23to leave for good.

00:40:24If you do me

00:40:25this favor tonight,

00:40:26I'll personally handle

00:40:28that contract for you.

00:40:30You're sure you can

00:40:31make that happen?

00:40:32Who do you think

00:40:32you are?

00:40:34Yana is about to be

00:40:36the lady of the house.

00:40:38Making one secretary's

00:40:40contract

00:40:41is a walk in the park

00:40:43for her.

00:40:45Fine.

00:40:45It's a deal.

00:40:47I hope you keep

00:40:48your word.

00:40:49You have my word.

00:40:51Follow me.

00:41:05Enjoy it,

00:41:05little secretary.

00:41:29Miss Chloe,

00:41:30Miss Hastings wants you

00:41:31to head out to the main gate

00:41:32and hang this banner

00:41:33up right away.

00:41:59Why are you doing this grunt work?

00:42:01I'm just doing my job.

00:42:02Didn't you say you weren't

00:42:02short on cash?

00:42:03Then why are you

00:42:04taking a gig like this?

00:42:05Have you lost your mind?

00:42:10I just slipped.

00:42:11And for the record,

00:42:12honest work is nothing

00:42:13to be ashamed of.

00:42:14I used to do much dirtier,

00:42:16more humiliating things

00:42:17while working for you.

00:42:19Mr. Russell,

00:42:20you should know that

00:42:21better than anyone.

00:42:23Do you have to

00:42:24snap at me like that?

00:42:27Wouldn't dare.

00:42:32Thanks for catching me.

00:42:33If that's all,

00:42:35I need to get back to work.

00:42:41You're bleeding.

00:42:43Come inside.

00:42:44Let me look at that.

00:42:47Chloe,

00:42:48you should be more careful.

00:42:54Babe,

00:42:55Julian,

00:42:55let me take Chloe

00:42:56inside to clean up

00:42:57that scratch.

00:42:59Your grandfather

00:43:00just sent over

00:43:00the wedding ring catalogs

00:43:02and everyone is waiting

00:43:03for you to pick one.

00:43:05All right,

00:43:06babe.

00:43:09Go on.

00:43:10Don't keep them waiting.

00:43:14Chloe,

00:43:16come with me.

00:43:24Come with me.

00:43:37Julian keeps a first aid kit

00:43:39handy here

00:43:40just for emergencies,

00:43:41mostly to take care

00:43:42of the people

00:43:43closest to him.

00:43:44Luckily,

00:43:46he's always been a man

00:43:47of strict principles.

00:43:50He always knows

00:43:51who comes first

00:43:52in his life.

00:43:53By the way,

00:43:53since you were with him

00:43:55for so long,

00:43:57you must know

00:43:58what he likes in bed,

00:44:00right?

00:44:01He bought me

00:44:02this incredibly sexy lingerie

00:44:04the other day,

00:44:05but I've been too shy

00:44:07to wear it.

00:44:08Do you think

00:44:09that would turn him off?

00:44:12Oh,

00:44:13and about kids.

00:44:15He keeps telling me

00:44:16he'll love them

00:44:17no matter what,

00:44:18boy or girl.

00:44:20Personally,

00:44:21I'm leaning towards

00:44:21having a girl first

00:44:22because after all,

00:44:23you really don't need

00:44:24to overshare,

00:44:25Miss Hastings.

00:44:27I have zero interest

00:44:29in whatever goes on

00:44:30in your bedroom.

00:44:31If you have nothing else

00:44:32for me,

00:44:33I'm heading back to work.

00:44:34Oh,

00:44:34you're not done

00:44:35for the night,

00:44:35Chloe.

00:44:38Head over to the pool area

00:44:40and help me look

00:44:40after the guests

00:44:41over there.

00:44:47Chloe,

00:44:48seeing you here today

00:44:49just proves

00:44:49how ridiculous

00:44:50those rumors are.

00:44:51I have no idea

00:44:52who started

00:44:52those nasty lies,

00:44:53claiming you were

00:44:54Mr. Russell's

00:44:55dirty little secret.

00:44:56I mean,

00:44:57how could that

00:44:57even be possible?

00:44:58Right.

00:44:59If whatever you two

00:45:00had was actually

00:45:01that scandalous,

00:45:02Miss Hastings

00:45:03is being way too

00:45:04generous by letting

00:45:05you stay.

00:45:06Exactly.

00:45:06What kind of mistress

00:45:07would actually

00:45:08swallow her pride

00:45:09and work as the help

00:45:11at the fiancé's

00:45:12engagement party?

00:45:14Thank you all for coming.

00:45:15I hope you enjoy

00:45:16your evening

00:45:16at Mr. Russell

00:45:17and Miss Hastings'

00:45:18engagement party.

00:45:23Well,

00:45:23look who it is.

00:45:24Small world,

00:45:24Miss Chloe.

00:45:32Look at her.

00:45:34Men swarm around her

00:45:35wherever she goes.

00:45:36Disgusting.

00:45:38Chloe,

00:45:38you'd throw yourself

00:45:39at a piece of trash

00:45:40like Lewis,

00:45:41but you keep

00:45:42pushing me away?

00:45:48Thanks for catching me.

00:45:50Don't mention it,

00:45:51Miss Chloe.

00:45:51No need to be

00:45:52so defensive.

00:45:52You did me a huge favor

00:45:54last time.

00:45:55Why would I hurt you?

00:45:58I hear you and Russell

00:45:59are over.

00:46:00Why not give me a shot?

00:46:02Whatever he gave you,

00:46:03I can double it.

00:46:05You've got it wrong,

00:46:06Mr. Lewis.

00:46:08What happened between me

00:46:09and Mr. Russell

00:46:10was strictly professional.

00:46:12As for why I'm leaving,

00:46:13that's private.

00:46:16Come on,

00:46:17drop the act.

00:46:19Everyone here knows

00:46:20the second Julianne

00:46:21got engaged,

00:46:22you got dumped.

00:46:23Whatever.

00:46:24Let's change the subject.

00:46:26Are you free

00:46:27sometime this week?

00:46:29I'd like to take you

00:46:30to dinner

00:46:30to make it up to you.

00:46:32I should have done it sooner,

00:46:33but some bastard

00:46:34blindsided me

00:46:35and left me in bed

00:46:36for two whole weeks.

00:46:38That won't be necessary.

00:46:39I'm leaving soon.

00:46:40I won't be working

00:46:41for Mr. Russell anymore.

00:46:44So, Mr. Lewis,

00:46:45please stop bothering me.

00:46:47Don't be like that.

00:46:49Let's talk, Chloe.

00:46:51Come on,

00:46:51I'm serious about you.

00:46:54We have nothing

00:46:55to say to each other.

00:46:58Harassing my people

00:46:59at my party,

00:46:59Mr. Lewis?

00:47:03You're crossing the line.

00:47:11Can't stand the sight

00:47:12of me now?

00:47:13Or,

00:47:15do you just prefer

00:47:16garbage like Lewis

00:47:17pawing at you?

00:47:20Thanks for stepping in,

00:47:21Mr. Russell,

00:47:22but right now

00:47:23you should be with

00:47:24your fiancé

00:47:24and I need to go

00:47:25find my boyfriend.

00:47:29Boyfriend?

00:47:30You mean Colin?

00:47:32He's the heir

00:47:33to the Nash family.

00:47:34Do you honestly think

00:47:36a guy like him

00:47:36is serious about you?

00:47:38Get real, Chloe.

00:47:40Stop being so naive.

00:47:43Naive?

00:47:44So that's what you think

00:47:45of me, isn't it?

00:47:46Trust fund boys like you

00:47:47could never actually

00:47:47love someone like me.

00:47:49So for the last five years,

00:47:50I was just a joke to you,

00:47:51is that it?

00:47:51That's not what I meant.

00:47:55Don't bother.

00:47:56Good thing I finally woke up

00:47:57from this five-year delusion.

00:47:59Don't worry, Mr. Russell.

00:48:00I won't waste

00:48:01another second on you.

00:48:02And as for me and Colin,

00:48:02it's none of your business.

00:48:06Tonight is our

00:48:07engagement party.

00:48:08You know,

00:48:10exactly what this means

00:48:11for our families.

00:48:12Are you seriously

00:48:13going to make a scene

00:48:14over Chloe right now?

00:48:15Julian,

00:48:16we should wish her well,

00:48:17right?

00:48:18Just let her go.

00:48:20Stay out of my personal life

00:48:22and know your place.

00:48:29Colin,

00:48:29you don't need to come over.

00:48:31I'm about to leave anyway.

00:48:32I'm fine.

00:48:33Don't worry.

00:48:34I just got a harsh

00:48:34reality check tonight.

00:48:44So you're Chloe.

00:48:46Quite a charming young lady.

00:48:48No wonder Julian kept you

00:48:50around for five whole years.

00:48:53Chairman Russell,

00:48:54you can just cut to the chase.

00:48:56Smart girl.

00:48:57From what I know,

00:48:58you come from a very

00:48:59ordinary background

00:49:00and your mother

00:49:01has been in a care facility

00:49:02for years

00:49:03because of her mental illness.

00:49:05Don't take offense.

00:49:07I had you vetted

00:49:08five years ago.

00:49:10Julian is the only heir

00:49:11to this family.

00:49:13I couldn't allow someone

00:49:14with a messy background

00:49:15to stay by his side.

00:49:17Luckily,

00:49:17you stayed in your lane

00:49:19these past five years.

00:49:20But make no mistake,

00:49:22you will never be

00:49:23the lady of this house.

00:49:25Julian and I

00:49:26have always been

00:49:27on the same page

00:49:28about that.

00:49:28Your existence

00:49:29would only be a blemish

00:49:30on his reputation.

00:49:32Do I make myself clear?

00:49:34Grandfather has only

00:49:35ever seen Yana

00:49:36as Julian's future wife

00:49:37and even Julian

00:49:38accepted that.

00:49:39You were nothing

00:49:39but a passing phase

00:49:40to him.

00:49:41Keep pushing it

00:49:42and you'll only

00:49:42make yourself look pathetic.

00:49:44You don't need

00:49:44to worry yourself

00:49:45over me.

00:49:45My contract

00:49:46with the company

00:49:47is almost up.

00:49:48Once the paperwork

00:49:48is done,

00:49:49I'll be done

00:49:49with Mr. Russell

00:49:50for good.

00:49:51Good.

00:49:51At least you know

00:49:52your place.

00:49:53Here's 10 million.

00:49:54Since this whole thing

00:49:55started with money,

00:49:56let's end it

00:49:56with money too.

00:50:02That won't be necessary.

00:50:04Keep your money.

00:50:05I admire your pride.

00:50:07But are you sure

00:50:08you want to turn down

00:50:08a life-changing fortune?

00:50:16drop the act.

00:50:18You slept with Julian

00:50:19just for money?

00:50:20Didn't you?

00:50:23If you're holding out

00:50:24for a bigger payday,

00:50:25you're dreaming.

00:50:26Don't push your luck.

00:50:29Just take it.

00:50:32Take it.

00:50:34Take it.

00:50:44Grandfather,

00:50:45I went to see you

00:50:46the second I got

00:50:47your message,

00:50:47but you weren't there.

00:50:49Where were you?

00:50:50I was just seeing

00:50:51an old acquaintance.

00:50:53Nothing to worry about.

00:50:56Should I walk you

00:50:57back to the party?

00:50:59Or take you to your room

00:51:00so you can rest?

00:51:03I'll pass on the party.

00:51:05I'll leave it to you,

00:51:06young people.

00:51:08I'm heading back soon anyway.

00:51:09But,

00:51:11before I go,

00:51:12I need a word with you.

00:51:14Alone.

00:51:24I also spoke to your secretary,

00:51:27Chloe.

00:51:30What did you say to her?

00:51:32Look at you.

00:51:34You worried about her?

00:51:40I'm not,

00:51:41but she answers to me.

00:51:44I knew I couldn't keep

00:51:45our history from you anyway.

00:51:47Good.

00:51:49A nobody

00:51:50isn't worth me

00:51:51lifting a finger.

00:51:53As long as you know

00:51:54where you stand

00:51:54and remember the weight

00:51:56of your responsibility,

00:51:57we're fine.

00:52:00Yes,

00:52:00grandfather.

00:52:01The girl does have

00:52:02her charms.

00:52:04Her poise and manners

00:52:05could easily rival

00:52:06Yana's.

00:52:07No wonder you were

00:52:08taken with her.

00:52:10But,

00:52:12you know better than

00:52:13anyone what you need.

00:52:14The power of

00:52:15Yana's family.

00:52:17And a marriage alliance

00:52:18strong enough to

00:52:19protect the family empire.

00:52:20I don't have much time

00:52:22left, Julian.

00:52:23This is my final

00:52:24order to you.

00:52:25Are you going to

00:52:26let me down?

00:52:31Haven't I already

00:52:32done what you wanted

00:52:33by throwing this

00:52:33engagement party tonight?

00:52:35Exactly.

00:52:36Which is why that girl

00:52:37cannot become

00:52:38a liability

00:52:41between you and Yana.

00:52:46Exactly.

00:52:47Which is why that girl

00:52:49cannot become a liability

00:52:50between you

00:52:51and Yana.

00:52:54I get it.

00:52:56Fortunately,

00:52:56she knows her place.

00:52:57She told me herself

00:52:59she's walking away

00:53:00for good.

00:53:02She told you that

00:53:03herself?

00:53:03Of course.

00:53:04I offered her

00:53:05ten million

00:53:06and she promised

00:53:06that the second

00:53:07she leaves the company,

00:53:08whatever you two had

00:53:09is over.

00:53:10Ten million?

00:53:11Is that all our five

00:53:12years were worth to her?

00:53:14Don't forget your

00:53:15promise to me, Julian.

00:53:16As the head of this

00:53:17family,

00:53:18you cannot afford

00:53:19to let your emotions

00:53:19get the better of you.

00:53:24Do you really want

00:53:25repeat of what

00:53:26happened to your father?

00:53:29I didn't care

00:53:30when it was just

00:53:30a little fun

00:53:31on the side.

00:53:32But,

00:53:33if she messes

00:53:34with your judgment

00:53:35as CEO,

00:53:36I will deal

00:53:37with her myself.

00:53:40You're worrying

00:53:41over nothing.

00:53:45She's just an employee

00:53:47and her resignation

00:53:48will be on my desk

00:53:49any day now.

00:53:50She's not worth

00:53:51your time.

00:53:52See that it stays

00:53:53that way.

00:53:54Let me walk you

00:53:54back to your room

00:53:55so you can rest.

00:53:56No need.

00:53:57Yana just got back.

00:53:58Your priority tonight

00:53:59is to keep her company.

00:54:05I suggest you

00:54:06don't do anything stupid.

00:54:12I suggest you

00:54:13don't do anything stupid.

00:54:16Chloe,

00:54:16if I were you,

00:54:18I'd take the money

00:54:19and walk away

00:54:19with whatever dignity

00:54:20you have left.

00:54:22Don't get greedy.

00:54:23You've all got it wrong.

00:54:25I was never in it

00:54:26for the money.

00:54:26And if you think

00:54:27you can buy me off

00:54:28with pocket change,

00:54:29you're delusional.

00:54:33So you're still

00:54:34holding on.

00:54:34After everything

00:54:35that happened tonight,

00:54:36you still don't get it

00:54:37in this world.

00:54:38I am the only woman

00:54:39who belongs

00:54:40by Julian's side.

00:54:41Isn't this exactly

00:54:42what you worked

00:54:42so hard for?

00:54:44Stop making me

00:54:45your enemy,

00:54:45Miss Hastings.

00:54:46I have zero interest

00:54:47in coming between you two.

00:54:49Besides,

00:54:50whatever Julian and I had

00:54:51is ancient history.

00:54:53My resignation

00:54:53will be official

00:54:54in a month

00:54:55and I'll be gone.

00:54:56Hmph.

00:54:57Talk is cheap.

00:54:58Who's to say

00:54:59you won't keep

00:54:59running back to him

00:55:00behind my back?

00:55:01Sure,

00:55:01I'm the one

00:55:01he's marrying,

00:55:02but you did cling

00:55:03to him for five

00:55:04whole years.

00:55:05I'm just worried

00:55:06he might have

00:55:06a weak moment

00:55:07and let you back in.

00:55:08If you have this much

00:55:09time to obsess over me,

00:55:10Miss Hastings,

00:55:11maybe use it

00:55:12to control your man.

00:55:13Otherwise,

00:55:14who knows?

00:55:15Some Daisy,

00:55:16Brittany,

00:55:16or Vivian

00:55:17from his office

00:55:18might be next.

00:55:19Or maybe you're

00:55:20just too insecure

00:55:21to trust that you

00:55:21can keep his attention

00:55:22so you attack

00:55:23every woman

00:55:24who gets near him.

00:55:25Who do you think

00:55:25you are to talk

00:55:26to me like that?

00:55:27You're nothing

00:55:27but a cheap employee

00:55:28who can be bought

00:55:29with a single check.

00:55:32Let's find out

00:55:33who really comes

00:55:34first in his life.

00:55:40Oh my god!

00:55:42They're in the water!

00:55:43Somebody do something!

00:55:45That's the deep end!

00:55:46If they can't swim,

00:55:48they're going under!

00:55:50Holy shit!

00:55:51That's Miss Hastings!

00:55:53This is Russell Turf!

00:55:55If anything happens

00:55:56to her,

00:55:56we're all screwed!

00:55:57Dude!

00:56:02Julian!

00:56:04Yana can't swim!

00:56:06Get her out!

00:56:07Now!

00:56:10Help!

00:56:11I can't!

00:56:14I told you

00:56:15I'd show you the truth.

00:56:17Let's see who he chooses

00:56:18when it's life or death.

00:56:21Julian!

00:56:23Help me!

00:56:24I can't breathe!

00:56:27Wait!

00:56:28Russell's secretary

00:56:29can't swim either!

00:56:30She's drowning!

00:56:31In case...

00:56:34Julian!

00:56:35Jump in!

00:56:35What the hell

00:56:36are you waiting for?

00:56:37Yana is the future

00:56:38Mrs. Russell!

00:56:39Grandfather handpicked

00:56:40her himself!

00:56:41If she drowns

00:56:41at your party,

00:56:42Grandfather will ruin you!

00:56:43I can't let Grandfather

00:56:44see how much

00:56:45she means to me.

00:56:51Julian,

00:56:53so when the stakes

00:56:53are high,

00:56:54I will always be

00:56:55the one you throw

00:56:56to the wolves.

00:56:56Grab this!

00:56:57Hang on!

00:56:58Let's go!

00:57:15Anna!

00:57:28Julian, I was so scared. I thought I'd never see you again.

00:57:34Yana, what happened? How did you even fall into the deep end?

00:57:40Maybe, maybe it was my fault. I just asked Chloe to go over the schedule with me.

00:57:46But she seemed a little tensed. Please don't blame her. I must have just slipped.

00:57:54You crazy bitch!

00:57:59Sophia! What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:58:01Julian, wake up! She pushed Yana into the pool. It's obvious. This is attempted murder!

00:58:10Sophia, please stop. Don't blame Chloe. It was my fault.

00:58:14Yana! How can you still defend her? I'm going to expose this bitch for who she really is.

00:58:20Chloe, you clung to Julian for five whole years without a ring or a title. Now, did you think you

00:58:25could get rid of Yana and take her place? You've already hooked up with another man,

00:58:29so why are you still running back to Julian? Do you have any shame at all?

00:58:32Oh my god. Chloe was Mr. Russell's sidekick?

00:58:35No way. She always seems so professional.

00:58:37She doesn't look like the type to sleep away to the...

00:58:39Come on. A nobody with zero background holding that kind of position for five years?

00:58:43If she wasn't selling something, there's no way she would have lasted at Russell Group.

00:58:46I didn't push her. Miss Hastings grabbed me first.

00:58:51She dragged me into the pool.

00:58:54Chloe! How can you look everyone in the eye and lie like that?

00:58:58Enough.

00:59:01Chloe, what the hell are you trying to pull tonight?

00:59:04Believe whatever you want. I have nothing left to apologize for.

00:59:11Yana's family is right out there.

00:59:12Chloe, you think they're just going to let this go?

00:59:15Look at me. Just say sorry to Yana and we're done.

00:59:20Apologize in your dreams.

00:59:22Since you trust them so much, Mr. Russell, let's do this legally. Fine, sue me.

00:59:26Look at her, trying to just walk away after what she did?

00:59:29She's literally rubbing it in your face.

00:59:31Yes. Julian, let's call the cops right now.

00:59:34Don't bother calling the police.

00:59:39Now that the police are here, I'd love to see who dares cross a member of the Nash family.

00:59:46A member of the Nash family?

00:59:48Isn't that Colin Nash, the head of the Nash group?

00:59:51What does he have to do with Miss Chloe?

00:59:54He called her a member of the Nash family.

00:59:56Does that mean Chloe is his fiancée?

01:00:01The surveillance system conveniently had a technical glitch.

01:00:04Not a single frame was recorded.

01:00:06The second Chloe gets framed by your people, the cameras magically go dark.

01:00:09How convenient, Mr. Russell.

01:00:11Chloe, let's go.

01:00:14What the hell are you to him?

01:00:18What does that have to do with you?

01:00:20Stop being so stubborn.

01:00:23Just come inside and get changed out of those wet clothes.

01:00:25I'm fine right here, Mr. Russell.

01:00:27And as for the clothes, do you honestly think I care?

01:00:30I'm just another replaceable employee to you anyway.

01:00:34Don't trouble yourself.

01:00:35You should go back inside and enjoy your precious engagement party with your fiancée.

01:00:40Chloe!

01:00:41I'm warning you.

01:00:43Get back here.

01:00:46From now on, we don't get to touch Chloe anymore.

01:00:52Wow.

01:00:53Mr. Nash certainly went all out to protect her.

01:00:56Looks like whatever they have going on runs deeper than we thought.

01:01:00Who does she think she is?

01:01:01She's nothing but your dirty little secret!

01:01:03Julian, and you see her true colors now, right?

01:01:06She used sex to get into your bed back then,

01:01:07and now she's using the same old tricks on someone else.

01:01:10Enough.

01:01:11Shut the hell up!

01:01:17Mr. Russell,

01:01:18Mrs. Nash had someone return the keys to the penthouse.

01:01:20She said she's returning every single asset under your name,

01:01:23down to the last penny.

01:01:24She thinks she can just wipe the slate clean and cut ties with me for good?

01:01:31Get the car.

01:01:32We're going to her place.

01:01:34Sir,

01:01:35Miss Chloe's exit paperwork has been finalized.

01:01:37She has officially left the company.

01:01:50Sorry, the number you are calling is disconnected.

01:01:53Please check the number and try again.

01:01:57Sir, I ran a check.

01:01:59Miss Chloe has shut down every number and account tied to her name.

01:02:02We still haven't been able to track down where she's staying.

01:02:06Where the hell did she go?

01:02:11Colin, are you seriously just handing me the CEO seat?

01:02:14Why not?

01:02:15You've always had a Higgs straight in the Nash fortune anyway.

01:02:18It's about time you came home and took over.

01:02:31I have nothing to say to you.

01:02:33Let me be crystal clear.

01:02:35Chloe is done with you.

01:02:37You keep houncing her,

01:02:38and I'll bury you myself.

01:02:44That bastard's got some nerve,

01:02:46calling me for answers.

01:02:47Did he already forget the kind of garbage he put you through?

01:02:50Colin, look at you.

01:02:51You're way more upset than I am.

01:02:54Don't let a guy like him ruin your day, honestly.

01:02:57For all these years, I was just lying to myself,

01:02:59hoping for some kind of closure.

01:03:02But whatever I felt for him died a little more

01:03:04every time he humiliated me in public.

01:03:08Now, I just want a clean break.

01:03:15I just hate seeing you get hurt.

01:03:18Don't worry.

01:03:20Dad and I always have your back.

01:03:22There's a charity gala tomorrow night.

01:03:25That'll be your first public appearance

01:03:26as the new CEO of the Nash Group.

01:03:31Get ready to turn some heads, Chloe.

01:03:33Let's make sure Julian never gets to look down on you again.

01:03:44So, Mr. Russell, I assume we'll be hearing wedding bells

01:03:47for you and Yana anytime soon?

01:03:48You look absolutely radiant tonight, Miss Hastings.

01:03:52Congratulations.

01:03:52You two make a stunning couple.

01:03:54You and Julian are a match made in heaven, Yana.

01:03:57Unlike Chloe, who are just purely trashy

01:03:59and will never belong in our circle.

01:04:01Ladies and gentlemen, arriving now,

01:04:02the CEO of the Nash Group.

01:04:11Good lord, I didn't expect the new head of the Nash family

01:04:15to be such a head-turner.

01:04:16Who on earth is she?

01:04:19How did she manage to land the corner office at Nash?

01:04:21What the hell?

01:04:23Jesus, tell me I'm seeing things.

01:04:25Chloe has just taken the reins at the conglomerate.

01:04:27I'm sure she'll have your full support in the upcoming ventures.

01:04:30The pleasure is ours.

01:04:31And how should we address the new CEO?

01:04:33Chloe!

01:04:34What kind of sick joke is this?

01:04:36You, the CEO of Nash?

01:04:38You're nothing but a penniless nobody from the middle of nowhere.

01:04:41Chloe's appointment is a fully vetted board decision.

01:04:45Frankly, Miss Sophia,

01:04:47you are way out of your depth to question

01:04:49how my family runs our business.

01:04:52Well, we all know Henry holds all the cards at Nash.

01:04:55I'm just surprised he'd hand over the driver's seat

01:04:56to someone with zero executive track record.

01:04:59If she crashes the company,

01:05:00it'll completely ruin her career.

01:05:03Chloe.

01:05:04Can I help you with something, Mr. Russell?

01:05:08Do you seriously think running a massive conglomerate is a joke?

01:05:11This isn't the basic admin shit you did for me.

01:05:13Running around, scheduling meetings, getting me coffee.

01:05:15So that's my ceiling in your eyes, Mr. Russell?

01:05:18Just some glorified maid in a pencil skirt?

01:05:20Five years of bleeding for your company,

01:05:22and my actual competence was just a running joke to you.

01:05:26You have zero executive experience outside of desk work at my firm.

01:05:29Mr. Nash, you must be feeling pretty generous

01:05:31handing her a CEO title just to keep her happy.

01:05:33What is it, a shiny new toy?

01:05:35The whole industry is going to laugh her out of the room.

01:05:38Are you throwing a tantrum

01:05:39because you're actually losing sleep over Chloe, Mr. Russell?

01:05:43She's branded with the Russell name.

01:05:45If she crashes and burks out there,

01:05:47my reputation takes the hit.

01:05:49You can rest easy, Mr. Russell.

01:05:51If I ever screw up,

01:05:52I'll be the first to put out a statement

01:05:54making it crystal clear that I have absolutely nothing to do with you.

01:05:57I'll make a clean break, I promise.

01:05:59You really are a piece of work, Mr. Russell.

01:06:01Always looking out for your own ass.

01:06:03Honestly, I'm just glad Chloe's finally done with a guy like you.

01:06:06Mr. Nash,

01:06:07aren't you worried she'll walk out on you

01:06:09the same way she crawled to me for money?

01:06:10There are plenty of rich guys out there.

01:06:12You're nothing special.

01:06:13And her appetite is way bigger than you think.

01:06:15You won't be able to feed it for long.

01:06:16That is none of your business.

01:06:18Instead of obsessing over another company's CEO, Mr. Russell,

01:06:21maybe keep a better eye on that delicate fiancé of yours

01:06:23before she accidentally falls into the pool again.

01:06:26Let's go, Chloe.

01:06:27The auction's starting.

01:06:29Julian, come on.

01:06:30We should go get ready, too.

01:06:36Mr. Nash

01:06:38really went all out for Chloe?

01:06:40I just handed her the CEO seat on a silver platter

01:06:43with zero executive experience.

01:06:46I told you,

01:06:46that girl knows exactly how to play men.

01:06:48She's got Colin wrapped around her little finger.

01:06:51Julian,

01:06:52now we know why she walked away.

01:06:53So fast.

01:06:54She already lined up a bigger wallet.

01:06:57Sophia,

01:06:57don't be so harsh.

01:06:59People are practical.

01:07:00Everyone wants to climb the social ladder.

01:07:03Chloe just knows how to play her cards right.

01:07:05Please,

01:07:05take away the men she sleeps with

01:07:07and she's a nobody.

01:07:08On her own merit?

01:07:09Enough.

01:07:09Drop it, both of you.

01:07:10Julian,

01:07:11she's dragging the Russell name through the mat

01:07:12and we're just supposed to sit here?

01:07:13If she didn't sleep her way to the top,

01:07:15there is no way in hell she'd be running the Nash group.

01:07:17That's enough, Sophia.

01:07:19The auction's starting.

01:07:21Julian,

01:07:21we came tonight to pick a birthday gift for grandfather.

01:07:24I'll make sure we find something perfect for him.

01:07:27Whatever.

01:07:35Yana,

01:07:36Chloe tried to drown you last time.

01:07:38Tonight,

01:07:39we'll make her pay

01:07:40with interest.

01:07:42Ladies and gentlemen,

01:07:43welcome to our annual charity gala.

01:07:46Every dollar raised tonight

01:07:47goes straight into our charitable trust.

01:07:49Let's kick things off with our first lot,

01:07:52a 600-year-old antique shield

01:07:54with exotic star and moon mow teams.

01:07:56Bidding starts at $1 million.

01:07:59Tonight's pieces are all one of kind.

01:08:01One bid could cost you millions.

01:08:03It'd be embarrassing if some pokes came here

01:08:05just to rub shoulders with the elite,

01:08:07only to realize they can't afford a single thing

01:08:09and have to sneak out the back door.

01:08:12Oh, Sophia,

01:08:13don't count her out.

01:08:15Chloe's dripping in ha-couture tonight.

01:08:18And with Mr. Nash

01:08:19wrapped around her finger,

01:08:21what's a few million?

01:08:22I'm sure he'd gladly foot the bill.

01:08:27Yana,

01:08:28Chloe is just a temporary phase.

01:08:29The second Colin gets bored,

01:08:30he'll throw her out like trash.

01:08:32There is no way he's spending real cash on her.

01:08:35You're different.

01:08:37My cousin gave you his most prized sapphire.

01:08:41Miss Hastings,

01:08:42last I checked,

01:08:43you've been living off Mr. Russell's paycheck.

01:08:44If anyone doesn't belong at this auction,

01:08:46it's you.

01:08:47Besides,

01:08:47it's just a sapphire necklace.

01:08:49Why do you keep parading it around

01:08:50like it's some kind of trophy?

01:08:51Excuse me?

01:08:52Miss Sophia,

01:08:53let me remind you,

01:08:54this is an auction,

01:08:55not a place for you to make a scene.

01:08:58Keep acting smug,

01:08:59Chloe.

01:08:59Let's see if you can actually raise a panel tonight.

01:09:01Ladies and gentlemen,

01:09:03we're heading into the final round

01:09:04of tonight's auction.

01:09:05If you've been waiting for the perfect piece,

01:09:07now is your chance.

01:09:09Our next lot

01:09:10is a gilded,

01:09:12deep-sea chalice

01:09:13from over a century ago.

01:09:15Bidding starts at $5 million.

01:09:17Dad's birthday is coming up, right?

01:09:19This chalice would be perfect for him.

01:09:21Dad will be thrilled

01:09:22when he hears it's from you.

01:09:23This card has no limit.

01:09:25Buy whatever catches your eye.

01:09:27No, I'm good.

01:09:28Dad's wired hundreds of millions

01:09:29into my allowance over the years,

01:09:31and I've barely touched a dime.

01:09:32You're the Nash beloved daughter, Chloe.

01:09:35We're not exactly hurting for cash.

01:09:37If you want it,

01:09:38just take it.

01:09:41You never smiled at me like that.

01:09:43Do you really

01:09:44love him that much?

01:09:47Julian,

01:09:47this chalice would make

01:09:48a perfect birthday gift.

01:09:50Grandfather will absolutely love it.

01:09:53Six million.

01:09:54Wow, straight to six million.

01:09:57The future Mrs. Russell

01:09:58isn't messing around.

01:10:00Ten million.

01:10:01Miss Hastings

01:10:02is Julian's fiancée.

01:10:05Bidding against her like that,

01:10:07isn't Chloe worried about

01:10:08pissing off both the Russell

01:10:09and Hastings groups

01:10:10at the same time?

01:10:11You're completely out of the loop.

01:10:13She's got Colin Nash backing her.

01:10:16The Nash family can go

01:10:17toe-to-toe with Russell any day.

01:10:19I didn't realize

01:10:20you had your eye on this too, Chloe.

01:10:22But since Julian and I

01:10:24saw it first,

01:10:25maybe you...

01:10:26Highest bidder wins, Yana.

01:10:28That's the only rule here.

01:10:29Or has the Russell family

01:10:30already hit their limit?

01:10:32Of course not.

01:10:33Fifteen million.

01:10:35Twenty million.

01:10:38Twenty-five million.

01:10:40Thirty million.

01:10:42What the hell, Chloe?

01:10:43Are you insane?

01:10:44Where did you get

01:10:45that kind of money?

01:10:46That is thirty million dollars.

01:10:49None of your business.

01:10:51You.

01:10:52Chloe,

01:10:53are you seriously

01:10:54doing all this?

01:10:55Just to spite me?

01:10:56I don't have time

01:10:57to play games with you.

01:10:58Either bid

01:10:59or back off.

01:11:00Julian,

01:11:01we finally found

01:11:02the perfect gift

01:11:02for Grandfather.

01:11:03If we just let her

01:11:04take it like this,

01:11:05I'm worried that...

01:11:08Keep bidding.

01:11:10Chloe,

01:11:11Julian is buying

01:11:12is buying this

01:11:13as a birthday gift

01:11:14for his Grandfather.

01:11:16Could you...

01:11:19What if I want it

01:11:20just as bad?

01:11:21Would Mr. Russell

01:11:22back off for me?

01:11:23How bad do you want it?

01:11:25I'm giving it to someone.

01:11:27It's just a gift.

01:11:29You could buy

01:11:29literally anything else.

01:11:31Why do you have to

01:11:32pick a fight with us

01:11:33over this one piece?

01:11:36I could say the exact

01:11:37same thing to you,

01:11:38Miss Hastings.

01:11:40Why do you always

01:11:41have to come after me?

01:11:43The second I want something,

01:11:45you just have to

01:11:46snatch it right out

01:11:47of my hands?

01:11:48Don't flatter yourself,

01:11:50Miss Hastings.

01:11:50My father's birthday

01:11:52is coming up too,

01:11:53and this chalice

01:11:54happens to be

01:11:54perfect for him.

01:11:55And if Chloe wants it,

01:11:57she gets it.

01:12:00Oh, so it's for

01:12:01Mr. Nash's father.

01:12:03I guess congratulations

01:12:04are in order.

01:12:06Chloe,

01:12:07sounds like you're

01:12:08already trying so hard

01:12:09to worry your way

01:12:09into the Nash family.

01:12:11Then let's see

01:12:12who's got deeper pockets.

01:12:13Fifty million.

01:12:14Good.

01:12:15Let's see what you've got,

01:12:16Mr. Russell.

01:12:17Chloe,

01:12:18keep going.

01:12:21Sixty million.

01:12:23Seventy million.

01:12:25One hundred million.

01:12:26A hundred million?

01:12:27That's insane.

01:12:29Looks like Chloe

01:12:29is dead set

01:12:30on taking that chalice

01:12:31home no matter what.

01:12:32Can't you tell?

01:12:33This has nothing to do

01:12:34with the chalice anymore.

01:12:35This is pure ego now.

01:12:37God, this is getting good.

01:12:40Hold on a second.

01:12:44Excuse me.

01:12:45If I remember correctly,

01:12:47the rules say

01:12:47whoever raises the pandal

01:12:48has to pay from their

01:12:49own personal account,

01:12:50right?

01:12:50That is correct, ma'am.

01:12:51Unless the bidder

01:12:52is legally married,

01:12:53in which case the spouse

01:12:54may settle the payment

01:12:55on their behalf.

01:12:56You and Mr. Nash

01:12:57aren't legally married.

01:12:58So you're standing here

01:12:59bidding against Julian

01:13:00with all that confidence.

01:13:01Do you actually have money

01:13:02in your own account?

01:13:03Miss Sophia,

01:13:04are you implying

01:13:05the Nash family

01:13:05can't even arrange

01:13:06a hundred million dollar

01:13:07line of credit

01:13:08credit for Chloe?

01:13:09Of course you can

01:13:09cover it, Mr. Nash.

01:13:11But Chloe is a nobody

01:13:12without you.

01:13:13Without your invitation,

01:13:14she wouldn't even make

01:13:14it past security tonight.

01:13:16What gives her the right

01:13:17to sit there and throw

01:13:17your cash around

01:13:18against Julian?

01:13:19My own money

01:13:20gives me that right.

01:13:21The gavel hasn't even dropped,

01:13:22and Miss Sophia is already

01:13:23acting like this lot

01:13:24belongs to Mr. Russell.

01:13:25It's pathetic.

01:13:26Take a good look.

01:13:27This card is under my name.

01:13:29If Mr. Russell

01:13:29wants to keep bidding,

01:13:31I'm ready to go

01:13:31as high as it takes.

01:13:33But if she runs her mouth

01:13:34one more time,

01:13:34she'll learn exactly

01:13:35what the consequences are.

01:13:37When did you become

01:13:38so aggressive?

01:13:38Does that make you

01:13:39uncomfortable, Mr. Russell?

01:13:41Seeing me stand up

01:13:41for myself instead

01:13:42of just taking your shit?

01:13:43Well, get used to it.

01:13:45I'm no longer

01:13:45on your payroll,

01:13:46and I'm done playing

01:13:47the punching bag

01:13:48to protect your

01:13:48precious reputation.

01:13:50You're only acting

01:13:51this bold

01:13:52because Colin

01:13:53is backing you,

01:13:54aren't you?

01:13:55You still think

01:13:56a woman has to be

01:13:57standing behind some man

01:13:58to have any power,

01:13:59don't you, Mr. Russell?

01:14:00Maybe you should

01:14:00ask yourself why

01:14:01after five years

01:14:02as your chief secretary,

01:14:03you never gave me

01:14:04even a shred of respect.

01:14:05Sir, if Mr. Russell

01:14:07isn't bidding anymore,

01:14:08you can start

01:14:08the final count.

01:14:09Of course, Ms. Chloe.

01:14:11The current highest bid

01:14:12is $100 million

01:14:13from Ms. Chloe.

01:14:15$100 million going once,

01:14:16going twice,

01:14:18and sold.

01:14:20Congratulations, Ms. Chloe.

01:14:22The century-old

01:14:23gilded chalice is yours.

01:14:26Colin, it's getting

01:14:26a little suffocating

01:14:27in here.

01:14:28I'm tired.

01:14:28Sure.

01:14:29I'll handle the paperwork

01:14:30with the organizers.

01:14:31Wait for me

01:14:31by the noon entrance.

01:14:39Chloe.

01:14:42What did you mean

01:14:43back there?

01:14:46Are you saying

01:14:47I'm the one

01:14:48who let you down?

01:14:51I never said that.

01:14:52Don't flatter yourself.

01:14:54Don't forget

01:14:55you were the one

01:14:55who walked away first.

01:14:59Oh, is that so?

01:15:00Your memory seems

01:15:01pretty convenient,

01:15:02Mr. Russell.

01:15:03Let me refresh it for you.

01:15:04You got engaged to Yana,

01:15:06and then you tried

01:15:07to hand me over to Lewitt

01:15:08like I was a piece of meat.

01:15:09You're ruthless

01:15:10when it comes to everyone else,

01:15:11but you always give yourself

01:15:12a free pass, don't you?

01:15:19The thing with Lewis

01:15:20was just...

01:15:22And Yana...

01:15:23Grandfather arranged

01:15:24that engagement.

01:15:25So?

01:15:26I never loved Yana.

01:15:27Chloe, just come back to me.

01:15:29I'm willing to wipe

01:15:30the slate clean.

01:15:31I'll even overlook

01:15:32whatever happened

01:15:33between you and Pauline.

01:15:37How generous of you.

01:15:39Since you don't love

01:15:40your fiancé,

01:15:40tell me,

01:15:41do you love me?

01:15:42Are you going to marry me?

01:15:44Can you claim me in public?

01:15:47What am I going back for?

01:15:48To be your obedient

01:15:49little secretary again?

01:15:51Or your dirty little secret?

01:15:55Julian, you never loved me.

01:15:57All you had for me

01:15:58was that suffocating

01:15:59need to control me.

01:16:04Stop.

01:16:05I'm done.

01:16:06There's no going back.

01:16:08Being unloved hurts.

01:16:09Once is enough.

01:16:10It's because of Colin,

01:16:11isn't it?

01:16:12You've been with him

01:16:13for less than a month,

01:16:13and you're throwing away

01:16:14our five years

01:16:15like they meant nothing.

01:16:20You're damn right.

01:16:20because in one month,

01:16:22he's shown me

01:16:23more respect and care

01:16:24than you ever did

01:16:25in five years.

01:16:26And that month

01:16:27made everything clear.

01:16:28Those five years

01:16:29weren't love.

01:16:30They were just

01:16:31a complete waste

01:16:32of my life.

01:16:41Julian,

01:16:42are you still

01:16:42not over her?

01:16:43Open your eyes.

01:16:45She's already

01:16:46Colin's woman now.

01:16:51Julian,

01:16:53it looks like

01:16:53Chloe's moved on

01:16:54with Colin.

01:16:56Isn't it time

01:16:56you let her go?

01:16:58We should...

01:16:59My engagement to you

01:16:59is for grandfather's sake.

01:17:01That doesn't give you

01:17:02the right to meddle

01:17:03in my business.

01:17:05Don't forget our deal.

01:17:09I know my role.

01:17:11I'm playing the part.

01:17:15No buts.

01:17:16Get this straight.

01:17:17You're my fiancé

01:17:18only because

01:17:19grandfather's condition

01:17:20is terminal

01:17:20and he happens

01:17:21to favor you.

01:17:22We had an understanding.

01:17:23Six months.

01:17:24You play my fiancé

01:17:25and I back

01:17:26the Hastings group.

01:17:28That's it.

01:17:29It's strictly business.

01:17:33So stop overstetching.

01:17:38Am I really

01:17:39just playing

01:17:39a role to you?

01:17:41Is there no chance

01:17:42for us?

01:17:47If you start

01:17:48wanting more

01:17:48the deal is off.

01:17:50Simple as that.

01:17:53Do you like her

01:17:54that much?

01:17:56If grandfather

01:17:56finds out

01:17:57what you're pulling

01:17:58you know

01:17:59what he's capable of.

01:18:01What?

01:18:07Are you threatening me?

01:18:15Why?

01:18:15After all this time

01:18:16why is she still

01:18:17the only one?

01:18:18I won't allow it.

01:18:19Never.

01:18:20Chloe.

01:18:23Colin?

01:18:24What are you doing here?

01:18:25Just checking in.

01:18:26You've been buried

01:18:27in work all week

01:18:28and barely touching

01:18:28your food.

01:18:33I had the kitchen

01:18:34make you some cake.

01:18:36You're killing it

01:18:37as CEO

01:18:37but

01:18:38you don't have

01:18:39to burn yourself out.

01:18:49What's wrong?

01:18:55Congratulations.

01:18:56Miss Chloe

01:18:57is about

01:18:57five and a half

01:18:58weeks pregnant.

01:18:59But she's very weak

01:19:00right now

01:19:00and the morning sickness

01:19:01is pretty severe.

01:19:03She needs to take it easy.

01:19:04I understand.

01:19:13What did you just say?

01:19:15Chloe is pregnant?

01:19:16Julian

01:19:17I saw it

01:19:18with my own eyes.

01:19:19Colin brought her in

01:19:20that baby has to be his.

01:19:21That bitch Chloe

01:19:22how long have they

01:19:23even known each other?

01:19:24And she's already

01:19:25got herself knocked up.

01:19:26Shut up!

01:19:35You're pregnant?

01:19:37That's none of your concern

01:19:39Mr. Russell.

01:19:39Is the baby

01:19:40Collins?

01:19:41Obviously.

01:19:42The Nash family

01:19:43has already accepted

01:19:44this baby as their own.

01:19:47Bravo Chloe.

01:19:48Real clever.

01:19:49Trying to get your

01:19:50on your hooks

01:19:51into Colin

01:19:51and now you're using

01:19:52a baby to seal the deal?

01:19:56I'm sorry.

01:19:57I'm sorry.

01:19:58I'm sorry.

01:19:59I'm sorry.

01:20:05Mr. Russell

01:20:09I'm not your secretary anymore.

01:20:11Keep your hands off me.

01:20:18You and Colin

01:20:19haven't even been together

01:20:20a month.

01:20:21Have you?

01:20:24What's your point?

01:20:25You were messing around

01:20:26with him long

01:20:26before you left me!

01:20:28Honestly.

01:20:30Chloe

01:20:31do you have no shame?

01:20:32You'll do anything

01:20:33to claw your way up

01:20:34and gold dig your way

01:20:35to the top.

01:20:36When I was with you

01:20:37I never crossed the line

01:20:39not once.

01:20:41Oh really?

01:20:42What about the baby?

01:20:43Since you're so easy

01:20:44to buy

01:20:46if I paid you enough

01:20:47would you come crawling

01:20:48back to me?

01:20:53Julian

01:20:54you're pathetic.

01:21:00Open your damn eyes

01:21:01and read the report

01:21:02asshole!

01:21:03I was out of the country!

01:21:05I wanted to see

01:21:06how low you'd go

01:21:07but damn

01:21:08I didn't think

01:21:09you'd sink this low!

01:21:11Five and a half weeks?

01:21:14The baby

01:21:15is mine?

01:21:17No.

01:21:18This baby is mine.

01:21:19We're done.

01:21:20I'm done letting you

01:21:21harass me.

01:21:22Don't ever come

01:21:23near me again.

01:21:25Chloe

01:21:26if I see you

01:21:27near her again

01:21:28you'll answer to me.

01:21:43I hope that jerk

01:21:44didn't upset you too much.

01:21:46The doctor said

01:21:47you need to stay calm.

01:21:52don't worry

01:21:53I'm fine.

01:21:56Good.

01:21:57He's not worth

01:21:58the stress.

01:21:59Get some rest tonight.

01:22:01We've got a big

01:22:02meeting tomorrow.

01:22:08Well, well.

01:22:09Look who's here

01:22:10Mr. Nash

01:22:11and Miss Chloe.

01:22:13Right this way please.

01:22:18You two look

01:22:19absolutely inseparable

01:22:20tonight.

01:22:21I must say

01:22:22I'm quite envious.

01:22:25I've always heard

01:22:26that people only

01:22:27envy what they lack.

01:22:30What's the matter?

01:22:32Miss Hastings?

01:22:33Is there trouble

01:22:34in paradise

01:22:35with you

01:22:35and Mr. Russell?

01:22:39What are you talking about?

01:22:41Julian and I

01:22:42have never been better.

01:22:45right.

01:22:46Julian?

01:22:51She can't have that.

01:22:53Could I have a

01:22:54non-alcoholic beverage

01:22:54instead?

01:22:58Julian,

01:22:59sit down.

01:23:05Colin is right there.

01:23:07Even if you try

01:23:08to play the knight

01:23:08in shining armor

01:23:09Chloe isn't going

01:23:10to appreciate it.

01:23:11You're just making

01:23:11everyone uncomfortable.

01:23:17That's my baby.

01:23:19Baby?

01:23:20An unstable variable

01:23:22and it shouldn't exist.

01:23:27Excuse me.

01:23:28I need to use

01:23:29the ladies room.

01:23:30I need to use

01:23:34Mrs. Russell

01:23:36will be mine

01:23:37in line alone.

01:23:49What took you so long?

01:23:50Just freshening up.

01:23:54Since Chloe became

01:23:55the CEO of the Nash Group,

01:23:56I haven't had the chance

01:23:58to properly congratulate you.

01:24:00I propose a toast

01:24:02to our new powerhouse

01:24:03Chloe.

01:24:04Of course.

01:24:05Considering she's

01:24:06under the weather,

01:24:07water will do just fine.

01:24:10Absolutely.

01:24:11A toast is in order.

01:24:15I recall Chloe

01:24:16used to be Mr. Russell's

01:24:17right-hand woman,

01:24:18so why don't we let

01:24:19Julian lead the honors?

01:24:22Julian,

01:24:23even though you

01:24:24and Chloe

01:24:24are no longer together,

01:24:25you do have a history.

01:24:28Have a drink with her.

01:24:29Call it

01:24:30a gesture of goodwill.

01:24:33You wouldn't want

01:24:33to embarrass her

01:24:34in front of everyone,

01:24:35would you?

01:24:43Chloe.

01:24:49Congratulations.

01:24:52Thank you all.

01:25:04Chloe,

01:25:05what's wrong?

01:25:06Someone,

01:25:07call an ambulance!

01:25:15What did you do to her?

01:25:16Julian,

01:25:17you know full well

01:25:18your grandfather

01:25:19would never allow

01:25:19that baby to exist.

01:25:20I'm just doing

01:25:21the dirty work

01:25:22you couldn't bring

01:25:22yourself to do.

01:25:24Chloe,

01:25:25if you want someone

01:25:26to blame,

01:25:27blame your own stupidity

01:25:28for carrying

01:25:29an illegitimate trap

01:25:30that was never

01:25:31meant to be born.

01:25:36Doctor,

01:25:36how is she?

01:25:37Is she okay?

01:25:38She's stable.

01:25:39Thankfully,

01:25:40you got her here in time.

01:25:41She didn't ingest

01:25:42a massive amount

01:25:42of the substance.

01:25:43the baby was

01:25:44barely saved.

01:25:46Thank God.

01:25:48God.

01:25:51You were the one

01:25:52who handed her

01:25:52that drink.

01:25:54You absolute scumbag.

01:25:56You tried to poison her

01:25:57and kill your own baby!

01:26:06Get out.

01:26:08Chloe,

01:26:09please,

01:26:09just let me talk to you.

01:26:11There is nothing

01:26:11left to say.

01:26:15I knew you didn't

01:26:16love me.

01:26:18Julian,

01:26:18but I never realized

01:26:19you were so monstrous

01:26:20that you'd try

01:26:21to kill a child.

01:26:22I guess the fact

01:26:23that the baby survived

01:26:24must be a huge

01:26:25disappointment for you,

01:26:26right?

01:26:27No, never.

01:26:28I wanted this baby

01:26:29more than anything.

01:26:30No one on this earth

01:26:31wants this child

01:26:31to be safe

01:26:32more than I do.

01:26:33Tell me,

01:26:34how that poison drink

01:26:35ended up in my hand?

01:26:36We spent five years

01:26:37together.

01:26:37Is this really

01:26:38how you see me?

01:26:39How exactly

01:26:40did you see me,

01:26:40Julian?

01:26:41Everything in the past.

01:26:43That was my mistake.

01:26:44I can explain

01:26:45the situation

01:26:46with Yana

01:26:46and I will make sure

01:26:47you get justice

01:26:48for what happened

01:26:48tonight.

01:26:50Can't we,

01:26:51can't we just go back

01:26:52to the way things were?

01:26:53Back to what?

01:26:54Being your secret mistress?

01:26:56The woman who lived

01:26:57solely to cater

01:26:58to your whims?

01:26:59Thanks,

01:26:59but no thanks.

01:27:01Once was enough

01:27:02for me to learn

01:27:02how pathetic I was being.

01:27:03That's not what I meant.

01:27:05Then what did you mean?

01:27:07Julian,

01:27:07for those five years

01:27:08I gave you

01:27:09every ounce of dignity

01:27:10I had.

01:27:11I waited for you

01:27:11to turn around

01:27:12to notice me

01:27:13but you never did.

01:27:15Now you're getting married

01:27:16and your fiancé

01:27:17tries to kill my child.

01:27:19Do you really expect me

01:27:20to believe you didn't

01:27:21give her the green light?

01:27:24Just listen to me.

01:27:25Yana,

01:27:25she is not...

01:27:26I don't want to hear it.

01:27:27Please get out.

01:27:30Chloe...

01:27:30I said get out!

01:27:36Rest up.

01:27:38I promise you

01:27:40I'm going to settle

01:27:41this score

01:27:41once and for all.

01:27:42Let's read it.

01:27:43Let's see.
