00:00:00Hey, are you okay?
00:00:07It's snowing heavily out there.
00:00:11I have nowhere to go.
00:00:14Come here, you'll catch a cold.
00:00:16I'm James, by the way.
00:00:18Ella.
00:00:22Thank you.
00:00:28Use this to warm yourself up.
00:00:30And I've got some spare clothes, too, if you need.
00:00:33Thank you, James. Thank you for everything.
00:00:36I hope you're feeling a tad better.
00:00:42I hope you don't mind my curiosity.
00:00:45I know we've only just met, but why were you in the snow like that?
00:00:53It's a long story. A story of love and betrayal.
00:01:01If you're up to tell it, I'm up to listen.
00:01:05Thank you, James.
00:01:07Sometimes a warm cup of tea can make everything a bit better.
00:01:12Thank you for being so kind to a stranger.
00:01:14No problem at all. I think from now on we're not going to be strangers anymore.
00:01:20It all started with snow.
00:01:23The reason I ended up in the snow.
00:01:25Started with snow.
00:01:27How ironic.
00:01:34Mind if I join you?
00:01:35Oh, not at all. Please.
00:01:40We got caught up in the snow, huh?
00:01:43Yeah. Quite unexpectedly romantic, don't you think?
00:01:47I always thought that snow just brings wonders into this world, don't you think?
00:01:52Yeah, definitely. It's like looking at a world from a different lens.
00:01:57You're not trying to flirt with me, are you?
00:01:59No, I mean, yeah. But if I am, is it working?
00:02:03I don't know. If you were me, would it work on you?
00:02:08It would, if I do this.
00:02:13Why don't you ask for my number, then? I mean, only if you wanted to, of course.
00:02:17Name's Jayden, by the way.
00:02:20Lila. Nice meeting you.
00:02:22Nice to meet you, too.
00:02:24Maybe, you know, just maybe it's the start of something beautiful.
00:02:33I just love moments like this. It's me, you, and the warmth of this apartment.
00:02:39Yeah, I love them, too. And since you walked into my life, everything seems in the right place.
00:02:46Lila, there's something I'm meaning to ask you. Something that's been on my mind for a while.
00:02:52What is it, Jayden?
00:02:54Oh, this was so easy in the mirror.
00:02:56Well, since we met in the night under the snow, it's been like a dream.
00:03:05You've made me the happiest man. You brought joy in my life. And love.
00:03:11I'm not doing the dishes for you, Jayden.
00:03:14Can you be serious for one minute, please?
00:03:16And I'm not doing the laundry, either.
00:03:18Oh, well, you won't have any choice after this, but I'll help you out as much as I can.
00:03:24Anyway, I want to ask you is if you want to be with me and spend the rest of my life with me.
00:03:34And would you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?
00:03:40Jayden?
00:03:41Yeah?
00:03:42Love.
00:03:45Lila, I love you so much.
00:03:49More than the words I can't explain, would you be my wife?
00:03:54Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
00:03:58I love you.
00:03:59I love you, too.
00:04:04This is so pretty.
00:04:15Good morning.
00:04:16Good morning, my beautiful wife.
00:04:23How about I cook you a homemade breakfast this morning?
00:04:28Sounds good.
00:04:31You're a good chef.
00:04:33Is that supposed to be a compliment? We both know how terrible I cook.
00:04:37It's true!
00:04:39No, you're just being mean.
00:04:41Remember the first day we cooked dinner together? We almost burned it.
00:04:45We had fun.
00:04:47Yeah, we did have fun. It was a lot of fun.
00:04:49It looks like we're actually, like, married now.
00:04:52I know, right?
00:04:53We're husband and wife.
00:04:55Right. Who would have thought a girl under the snow would end up to be my beautiful wife and cooking burnt dinners?
00:05:04Yeah, I thought you were just trying to flirt with me and leave.
00:05:09I can't believe that you actually kept up with all my craziness and married me.
00:05:13Well, Mrs. Philip, I guess I have to keep up with your craziness for the rest of my life.
00:05:20Well, I hope you can, Mr. Philip.
00:05:23I will.
00:05:27Oh.
00:05:29What about the breakfast?
00:05:31Yeah, let's order and you're right, I've really got a good game.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:37Okay.
00:05:40How could you do this to me, Jaden? How could you betray us?
00:05:44It's not a big deal, Isla.
00:05:46It's not a big deal? You cheated on me!
00:05:49Look, it's not a big deal. People change.
00:05:54So what? People change and they go to a therapist and they talk about their issues.
00:05:58They don't just go and do it with another woman.
00:06:01I tried. We tried. It didn't work. It was a wake-up call. Just take it.
00:06:05How could you be so insensitive? Everything we had, it means nothing to you?
00:06:09You're putting too much faith in us, okay?
00:06:12I cannot believe you're being so insensitive right now.
00:06:15You are not the man that I married!
00:06:18Stop shouting!
00:06:23I can't believe you did this. You are acting crazy.
00:06:27Call me crazy one more time and see what happens.
00:06:30What happens? What happens?
00:06:33Will you go and cheat on me again? Is that what will happen?
00:06:36Maybe I will again. What then? Huh? What can you do?
00:06:39Get out!
00:06:40I'm gonna leave before I do something bad.
00:06:43And don't come back here again!
00:06:55Again? Jaden, how could you do this to me? Again?
00:06:59Worst, why are you going through my phone?
00:07:03How is that even your question? How is that even the issue here?
00:07:07I didn't ask you to go through this shit, okay?
00:07:10What are you saying? Are you saying that you don't love me anymore?
00:07:15Stop giving me with that bullshit again, okay? I didn't ask any of this.
00:07:19I gave up everything and I followed you just because I loved you.
00:07:24Stop with this victim card!
00:07:27What victim card? I thought we were a team, Jaden!
00:07:31Look, every time you're pretending you're perfect and you don't make any mistakes,
00:07:37well, everyone has to kiss your ass!
00:07:40When did I ever say that? All I did was fight for you, for us!
00:07:46I didn't ask you for this, okay?
00:07:49You know what? I don't have time for this. I want you to leave.
00:07:55Leave? Leave where?
00:07:58I don't care! Go sleep on the side road for all I care, okay?
00:08:04I found someone else. She's coming over and I love her. You can't stay here tonight.
00:08:09What?
00:08:13Get the fuck out of here! Leave!
00:08:16I can't believe this is happening.
00:08:20I don't love you anymore!
00:08:29That's how you met me, wandering down the street.
00:08:33I was so confused. I had nowhere to go, nobody to go to.
00:08:39I was just really, really sad.
00:08:43Sorry you had to go through all that.
00:08:47Jade and he, he kicked me out and he broke my heart.
00:08:51Lila, that's awful. Do you have a place to stay?
00:08:56I have nowhere to go.
00:08:58That's an awful thing to experience, but I bet you're stronger than you think.
00:09:04I'm not strong. I just want to end it all here and now.
00:09:11I can assure you it's just a phase. It'll pass.
00:09:15You don't even know me. I just told my complete life story to a stranger.
00:09:22I'm not strong. I doubt my sanity now.
00:09:26I know it's quite a peculiar situation you found yourself in, but you don't have to see it that way.
00:09:32Remember, we're not strangers anymore, okay?
00:09:35Thank you, James. If it wasn't for your help, I'd probably still be on the street.
00:09:39It was just so sudden, you know? I didn't see it coming at all.
00:09:44Well, look, Lila. If you need a place to stay, my apartment has a spare room.
00:09:51You can stay there until you figure things out.
00:09:54Are you sure? But I have no money to pay your rent.
00:09:58So you don't see it as a burden. How about this?
00:10:01I own a little restaurant. You can work there until you gain ground.
00:10:05My customers tip reasonably to me.
00:10:08Thank you, James. I really appreciate it.
00:10:11You'll love the view of the restaurant.
00:10:14I'm sure I will.
00:10:19Wow. James, you did tell me this restaurant is pretty much like a palace.
00:10:24Well, I like to keep things classic. Come on, let's get you the baritone.
00:10:29This is where the art of tasting good food is preserved.
00:10:33Wow. Impressive. Look at this interior.
00:10:37And the heart of this whole operation is the kitchen.
00:10:42It's so clean in here. I love it. Everybody is so hardworking.
00:10:47Yeah, the folks are like family. We work hard, but we play even harder.
00:10:52Come on, let's have a seat.
00:10:59And here are the friendly faces that make sure our guests have a wonderful experience.
00:11:04Everybody's so nice.
00:11:06Yeah, we strive for excellence, both in the kitchen and in the decor.
00:11:10I'm very glad you think so, too.
00:11:12Who would have thought, James? You put a lot of thought into this.
00:11:15Yeah, I mean, I just thought about it, right?
00:11:17The one thing that people continue to do throughout their lives is eat.
00:11:21So I invested all my time and money, and here we are now.
00:11:25So, Lila, you can either work the morning shifts or the evening shifts.
00:11:29There will be a lunch break, dinner break, depending on which shifts you work.
00:11:34And your tips are yours to keep, and sometimes you'll make a little bit extra,
00:11:38depending on how much sales we make every day.
00:11:40Any questions, anything else you'd like to know?
00:11:42Yeah, I was actually wondering if I can work both day shifts and night shifts.
00:11:48I mean, I just need somebody to occupy my days to just keep my mind off things.
00:11:54Yeah, seriously, I thought you were going to ask me where the ladies' room was.
00:11:57Absolutely, you can, but don't hurt yourself.
00:12:00Don't get crushed under the weight of your own problems, okay?
00:12:03Thank you, James. Thanks for everything.
00:12:07She's everything I never was and will continue to be.
00:12:11Maybe we're not meant to be for each other. People change.
00:12:15Stop with this victim card!
00:12:17Yeah, but you're better than the rest of us.
00:12:19I didn't do any of that. How could he do this to me? And for what?
00:12:25He just thinks that he is the best thing that ever existed.
00:12:29No, I can't let him get away with this. He's going to pay for everything.
00:12:36Come on, Lila, who are you kidding? What can you do?
00:12:41He has a new woman, a good job, a house, good life. And you? You have nothing.
00:12:50I'm just going to end it all right here. I just want this pain to end.
00:12:57Open this door. I'm going to break it down.
00:13:02Don't go crazy in there, all right?
00:13:04I know you're going through a lot right now, but you don't have to hurt yourself.
00:13:09I know how strong you are, and you can show him how strong you are.
00:13:13Please, you don't have to do this.
00:13:16That's right. Why do I have to die? I didn't do anything wrong.
00:13:21I have to make a plan.
00:13:27Step one, gain power and influence.
00:13:32Step two, infiltrate his business empire.
00:13:37Find his weaknesses and exploit them.
00:13:42Step three, bring him to his knees.
00:13:52Good evening, sir. Are you going to play?
00:13:55Yes, I am. I'll have salmon with a side of asparagus.
00:13:58Certainly. Anything else for you?
00:14:00No, that's all. You can call me Alexander.
00:14:04Unfortunately, we cannot address customers by their names, sir.
00:14:09You know, I'm a regular at this place. I think it's the first time I see a beauty like you here.
00:14:14First, thank you for the compliment. Second, I really shouldn't be talking this long.
00:14:20And then third, I've been working here for a while and I haven't seen you either.
00:14:24I was away on my business trip. It's okay. You can ask James. He's a friend of mine, too.
00:14:30Alec!
00:14:31Hi.
00:14:32Long time no see.
00:14:34Nice to meet you.
00:14:36How was everything?
00:14:37It was good. It was good.
00:14:38My trip, everything was fine.
00:14:40You know, somebody's got to take care of the business.
00:14:43When did you employ this exceptional beauty?
00:14:46It's the first time I've seen her.
00:14:47Oh, Lila? She's a good friend of mine. She won't be here for long.
00:14:52She's just here because of a rather peculiar situation she's found herself in.
00:14:58Your asparagus and salmon choice, sir.
00:15:03Could you introduce us, please?
00:15:04Sorry, where are my manners? Alex, Lila. Lila, Alex.
00:15:10Nice to meet you, Lila. I have a feeling we may become very close friends.
00:15:16I've got to take care of something in the kitchen.
00:15:19Oh, thank you, James, for your kind words. It really means the world to me.
00:15:26You're a natural, Emma. The customers love you, and I'm very happy to have you at the restaurant.
00:15:32And the staff, they're just so nice. They always help me and show me around. It's incredible.
00:15:39I mean, really, I can't thank you enough. You're housing me, you're feeding me.
00:15:43If it wasn't for you, I'd probably be dead by now.
00:15:45Don't say that, Lila. You can and will get your life back on track. I know it.
00:15:52Thank you, James.
00:15:54Don't mention it.
00:15:56You really have to stop thanking me at this point, Lila. I've told you many times, it's nothing.
00:16:02You're smart, you're beautiful, and with or without me, you're going to get your life back on track soon.
00:16:07It means the world to me. Basically like my family now, since I have none.
00:16:12I already told you.
00:16:14Don't mention it. But if you insist, I guess you could call me big brother?
00:16:21Speaking of good luck, John, Alexander. It's been a while since I've seen him. Loyal customer now.
00:16:29Yeah, Alexander. Who is he?
00:16:32He's a wealthy businessman, a well-known city elite. We became friends after he came to my restaurant so frequently.
00:16:40Well, I'm very happy that you got to see him again. What does he do exactly?
00:16:45He has multiple different business ventures, and quite successful at that.
00:16:51Interesting. Do you think he could get me a job?
00:16:55Guess not.
00:16:57Let's see what Alexander can do.
00:17:01You know, I found out something. Someone told me that you ran into Lila at the restaurant.
00:17:10Lila, the ex-wife?
00:17:12You're too kind, baby. When you don't know the best part, she's a total mess.
00:17:16I mean, I kind of did her a favor by being nice to her, but it's not worth it.
00:17:22I'm sorry, I guess I'll have to do something else.
00:17:25I'm sorry, but I think I need to go.
00:17:28I'm sorry, but I think I need to go.
00:17:31I'm sorry, but I think I need to go.
00:17:34I'm sorry, but I think I need to go.
00:17:37I'm sorry, but I think I need to go.
00:17:39I mean, I kind of did her a favor by putting her out of my life.
00:17:43Why are you mentioning your ex-wife to me? Isn't that a little bit disrespectful?
00:17:49I thought maybe you should just know what you're dealing with.
00:17:53I don't know why you're complaining. You married her, so why don't you go figure it out?
00:17:58Just so you know, she is nothing comparing to you. You have nothing to worry about.
00:18:04Well, if you have nothing to hide, why don't you get her address from your little friend and we'll go and say hi.
00:18:12Don't speak like that. Why would I do that? I love you to pieces.
00:18:16If anything, I've let her go because of you. For you, actually. Okay? I would do anything for you.
00:18:23Why do you make it sound like you did me a favor?
00:18:26It's nothing like that, okay? If anything, I'm the luckiest guy for having you.
00:18:31Okay? I would do anything for you.
00:18:35You know that! You're playing with me! Oh my god.
00:18:40It's not like you have a choice, do you?
00:18:43I don't.
00:18:44No.
00:18:45No.
00:18:47Here is your cinnamon with grilled asparagus. Just as you like it, sir.
00:18:53Thank you, Lila. Very attentive. Care to join me for a moment?
00:18:56I can't. I'm working and it's against the rules.
00:19:01I'm sure James wouldn't mind it. I can ask him right now if you want.
00:19:05Should I?
00:19:06No, no, no. No need. Just for a moment, I guess.
00:19:10Would you like to order something? I am quite a gentleman, but there's no need to share this single plate of meal. Isn't it?
00:19:18I'm a little bit uncomfortable. I feel like everybody's working and I'm just lost.
00:19:23I understand. How about I ask Jim about giving everybody a lunch break?
00:19:29Meal, of course. Would that make you comfortable?
00:19:32I don't think that's necessary. It's a little bit too much.
00:19:36No, no, no. Not at all. I just hope you will be feeling comfortable, ma'am.
00:19:40Yes, thank you.
00:19:42That's nice. So, let's talk about what brought you here.
00:19:48What happened to you? I want to know your story.
00:19:51That is very personal, I'm afraid.
00:19:55Fair enough. Well, what about your plans towards the future?
00:20:02I don't normally share my plans with strangers.
00:20:06Quite interesting. You do have ambition and you know how to keep your secrets.
00:20:12I like that.
00:20:14That's the mystery.
00:20:16I guess.
00:20:18I know, Jim. He wouldn't tell me anything about you. So, I only ask myself. Sorry for the pressure.
00:20:25In case if it's not obvious enough, I do like you, Lila.
00:20:36James, I hope you will be happy.
00:20:39James, I hope you don't mind but I had to borrow Lila for a moment.
00:20:42What do you mean you borrowed her? She's a human adult with a mind of her own.
00:20:46Except you did take her during working hours, though.
00:20:49She didn't even want to sit with me until I mentioned your name.
00:20:52And only then she agreed.
00:20:54So, please give all your workers free meal and a lunch break.
00:20:57That was the only condition she felt comfortable sitting with me here.
00:21:00Lila, must be a good luck charm or something. Thank you, Alex.
00:21:05Not a big deal.
00:21:06It's just something mysterious about Lila.
00:21:09You know, I can't really figure her out.
00:21:12Yeah, I mean, Lila, she's been through a lot.
00:21:17And she's a private person. Be careful not to pry too much.
00:21:22Why not? I find mystery intriguing.
00:21:25Because, my friend, some mysteries are better left unsolved.
00:21:29And you never know what you might uncover.
00:21:31Well, what is she? A secret drug lord? An assassin killer? Spy?
00:21:36I highly doubt that.
00:21:39But seriously, she's a private person and she's been through a lot.
00:21:43But I already told her I like her.
00:21:46What'd she say?
00:21:48She didn't really reply to me.
00:21:51Just take it slow, Alex. You barely know anything about her.
00:21:55Yeah.
00:21:56But you know, as the time goes by, I eventually will, won't I?
00:22:01Yeah, we'll just have to see, won't we?
00:22:04Yeah. I have to apologize in advance, James.
00:22:07I might be stealing your good luck charm from you.
00:22:17Alexander. He might be the key, but how do I find him?
00:22:22Alexander. He might be the key, but how do I let him help me?
00:22:29We need to find out more about him.
00:22:32Our next meeting is crucial.
00:22:36I need to play my cards right.
00:22:40Is he the key out of my misery?
00:22:43I refuse to believe that he's just a coincidence.
00:22:46Can't be.
00:22:48Thank you, universe.
00:22:51Step one, I'm getting closer to it.
00:22:54Jaden, you thought you could break me, but I'm coming for you.
00:22:58Thanks to Alexander, I'm one step closer.
00:23:03You won't even see it coming. You and your mistress will crumble.
00:23:09Just like you did to my dreams. Our dreams.
00:23:12Our dreams.
00:23:15Little do you know, you just created a stronger version of Lyla.
00:23:21That will haunt you every step of the way.
00:23:27It's time to take control of my destiny.
00:23:31There's no more being a victim. There's no more tears.
00:23:37I will rebuild what you destroyed, Jaden.
00:23:40And I'll make you pay every step of the way.
00:23:44I'll dance in the shadows. I'll play the game.
00:23:48But when the time is right, I won't strike.
00:23:55You have no place being happy.
00:23:58Just as you've taken everything I have away from me, I will do the same to you.
00:24:03You won't even know what will hit you, Jaden.
00:24:06It'll just happen.
00:24:08It'll just happen.
00:24:11You won't even know what went wrong.
00:24:19This city will witness my transformation, Jaden.
00:24:23You won't even recognize the woman who once loved you.
00:24:27Tables have turned.
00:24:30And I have all the cards.
00:24:37Here you go, Alex.
00:24:39Thank you, Lyla.
00:24:41Is everything okay?
00:24:43Let's take a seat. We need to talk.
00:24:45Alright.
00:24:48What's on your mind?
00:24:50I want to know more about you. We will start.
00:24:54As I've told you before, my story is a personal matter.
00:24:59You don't have to worry about anything. It's not like I'm on the run or anything.
00:25:03I know you're not ready to share your story yet.
00:25:05How about you just go with me?
00:25:08I'll work as my secretary. Leave this place behind.
00:25:12What makes you think that I'd be interested working for you?
00:25:16Or being your mistress?
00:25:18You're just wasting your talent here.
00:25:21I can give you another life. A life of luxury.
00:25:26Alright.
00:25:28What about James?
00:25:30I can't just leave him. He's done a lot for me.
00:25:33Yeah, that's true.
00:25:35But I'm sure he won't mind it. He's a nice guy.
00:25:39An adult man and woman can decide to be together. As partners, of course.
00:25:45Okay. I'll let him know. I'll come work for you.
00:25:49But do you trust me?
00:25:51Sure, I do.
00:25:57Hey, Lyla. Everything alright?
00:26:00Yeah, what's up?
00:26:02You know you don't have to go, right? You could stay.
00:26:05Thank you, James, but I really don't have much of a choice.
00:26:09You're just leaving what you really want?
00:26:11I mean, the restaurant is doing nice and you're a crucial part of the team.
00:26:16I'm sure. I have to put pieces of my life back together.
00:26:20I understand. Big Bro will be here if you need anything.
00:26:25Thank you so much, James. I mean, Big Bro.
00:26:29You're literally like my family now. I just can't thank you enough.
00:26:35Hello, James.
00:26:37Alex. Take good care of her, alright?
00:26:41Don't worry. I'm going to treat her well.
00:26:43Hello, pretty lady. Ready to go?
00:26:46I'm ready. Consider this my official resignation. And whenever it snows, I'll take it.
00:26:54Anytime.
00:27:00I'll let you go before I change my mind. Quick! Quick!
00:27:06Oh.
00:27:18Welcome to your new home, Laila.
00:27:20Wow. This is incredible.
00:27:24It is not bad, you know. Give me a hand.
00:27:27Here are the keys to both your apartment and the car downstairs. Consider it the symbol of my love.
00:27:34Your love?
00:27:37Yes, Laila. Take a seat.
00:27:39I own a very successful business. And it comes with a lot of responsibilities.
00:27:45And unfortunately, a lack of trust in the people around me.
00:27:48What do you mean?
00:27:50I mean, I need someone who I can trust. Someone discreet.
00:27:53That's where exactly you come on stage.
00:27:56Me? What do you want me to do?
00:27:59I need you to become my eyes and ears.
00:28:02There is something suspicious going on and I want you to track it for me.
00:28:06You want me to keep records for you?
00:28:09Exactly. I need someone who can mingle with my staff and find out all the secrets.
00:28:15That's going to be you.
00:28:17Me? But like, what makes you think that I can do this?
00:28:20Good question.
00:28:21Let's just say I see something inside of you. Not just strength, but also determination. And I like it.
00:28:29I really believe you can do this.
00:28:31Well, I'll try and do my best.
00:28:38Well, business calls. We'll talk more about it later.
00:28:42First, get yourself comfortable. It's your new home.
00:28:45Alexander, what makes you think that I can do this?
00:28:47What makes you think that I can do this? I literally have no experience in the corporate world and I...
00:28:52You know, for the person like me, it's very important to read people.
00:28:56Even though I don't know your story, but I can see you're worth my trust.
00:29:01And I see you can handle this.
00:29:03You can call it a fate or something, but I think that's the whole point why I met you at the gym's place.
00:29:09You can help me.
00:29:11On the other hand, I would be very happy to spoil a woman I like.
00:29:15Get yourself comfortable.
00:29:22Welcome to the heart of my business, Lila. You'll be working here as a secretary.
00:29:27But your real work will be underground, keeping an eye on any shady dealings.
00:29:33I understand. I'll do my best.
00:29:36There is the money laundering shit that worries me a lot.
00:29:40Unfortunately, it looks like it's been going on for quite a while now.
00:29:43So your first task will be finding out what's going on and reporting it to me.
00:29:47Whatever it is, just inform me.
00:29:49Understood.
00:29:51Now, Lila, I'm sure we're talking about some...
00:29:56...deeper layers.
00:29:58And those deeper layers are?
00:30:01You know already now that I like you and admire you as a woman.
00:30:05Really?
00:30:06And I want you to be my woman.
00:30:09But I'm not forcing you. Come to me whenever you're ready.
00:30:13I'm not rushing.
00:30:15I understand what is needed of me professionally.
00:30:18And I'll make sure to deliver beyond that.
00:30:21But I cannot be your woman.
00:30:23I mean, you don't even know me.
00:30:25You don't know my story. You don't know where I came from.
00:30:27I want to know you, Lila.
00:30:29So if you'll let me, I want to share everything that I have with you.
00:30:34You can't help me with anything.
00:30:36So for now, let me help you with your business.
00:30:41I'm going to be your eyes and ears in this company,
00:30:45and I'll make sure to tell you about anything shady that's going on.
00:30:48Deal?
00:30:51Alright.
00:30:55I'll give you the access to all the records so you can get the information you need.
00:30:59But the information is power.
00:31:02So be careful with it.
00:31:03Oh, and by the way, um,
00:31:06could we keep the fact that we live together away from the staff?
00:31:10I want them to trust me.
00:31:12You know, I don't want them to think that I got this job just because of you,
00:31:16which is true. I just want them to respect me.
00:31:19Sure. And I do respect your opinion.
00:31:22Thank you.
00:31:34Step one in motion.
00:31:42Yes?
00:31:44Hi. I got a job for you. Are you up for it?
00:31:47Depends on the job.
00:31:49I want you to follow someone.
00:31:51I want you to report everything she does, where she goes, what she eats,
00:31:55who she hangs out with.
00:31:57Every little detail.
00:31:58That's a heavy task. Are you sure about this?
00:32:01I'm sure.
00:32:03If you can do your part, I'm ready to pay you very handsomely.
00:32:07Just don't get caught.
00:32:09Of course I can.
00:32:11Give me the details. I need to know.
00:32:13I'll send it to you via text.
00:32:15Her address, everything.
00:32:17Follow her discreetly. Do not get caught, as I already said.
00:32:21I want to know everything she does, every single move.
00:32:25That's a problem. How much are we talking?
00:32:29Send me your account details.
00:32:31We'll discuss the payment later, once you start working.
00:32:34Alright. Will do. Trust me to get the job done.
00:32:38Wonderful. And if you get me caught, I have nothing to do with this. Got it?
00:32:45Listen, madam. I've been into this line of work for quite a while.
00:32:49I can handle it.
00:32:51I won't get caught.
00:32:52Even if I did, I wouldn't tell a word on you.
00:32:56I know how to handle this professionally.
00:32:59Perfect. Wait for my email then. I'll send you everything you need.
00:33:03And a pleasure doing business with you.
00:33:05Yes.
00:33:08Step 2 in progress.
00:33:13Man!
00:33:15Hi. You must be Lila. I'm Dylan, head of HR and Human Resources here.
00:33:20It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:33:22Pleasure to meet you too.
00:33:24You are a lot prettier in person than your photo.
00:33:28My photo?
00:33:30Yes. The one on your resume.
00:33:32It's a beautiful photo. A headshot. But you're stunning.
00:33:37Thank you.
00:33:38It's a beautiful photo. A headshot. But you're stunning.
00:33:43Thank you. I appreciate it.
00:33:45So if you have any questions around here, or if there's anything you need figured out, I'm here.
00:33:50Oh yeah. Actually, I will be needing your help.
00:33:53I'm just still trying to figure out how things work around here.
00:33:56Whatever you need. That's what I'm here for.
00:33:58Yeah. Actually, I will be needing a list of heads of finance and accountants for the past year following Mr. Alexander's directions.
00:34:06That might be a little difficult and kind of tricky, but I'll see what I can put together for you.
00:34:13Is there something wrong or something you need to look at specifically?
00:34:18Oh, no, no, no. It's just purely for my own records. Just making a list here.
00:34:24Okay. Well, that's right. That's good.
00:34:26Okay, so have you heard about missing funds by chance?
00:34:31How do you know that? That's confidential.
00:34:34So I guess that's true.
00:34:37Yes.
00:34:43Hello there. Welcome to our restaurant. We're delighted to have you. What will be happening today?
00:34:49Roy, we checked your menu online and we made reservations. Check your computer and bring us what we ordered.
00:34:54Alrighty. Your food will be ready in five minutes. Will you be having anything else?
00:34:58Yes. Well, we're looking for someone. A waitress named Lila?
00:35:01Lila, you say? Unfortunately, we don't have anyone on our staff going by that name.
00:35:07Well, a friend of mine told me there will be a girl working here named Lila.
00:35:12I'm quite certain there's no one named Lila on our staff.
00:35:16Well, maybe she's ashamed. Working here, maybe she's going by a different name.
00:35:21No, sir. We haven't employed any new staff for a while now and I'm offended that you think what we do here is worthless.
00:35:27Oh, thank you.
00:35:28Maybe I got the wrong place.
00:35:30You said she would be here, sir. Where is she?
00:35:33Maybe we heard the man. Maybe she doesn't work here anymore.
00:35:37You're right. She really is good for nothing, isn't she?
00:35:41Right.
00:35:47You?
00:35:53Something isn't right.
00:35:55Something isn't right.
00:35:58These transactions, they're not in the books.
00:36:08Dylan, do you have a moment?
00:36:10Of course. What's going on?
00:36:12I've stumbled across some really suspicious transactions within the company. Do you know anything about it?
00:36:17Where did you get your hands on this?
00:36:18I found them. Seems like someone or a group of people are diverting large sums of money away from the company.
00:36:26This is serious. We need to tread carefully.
00:36:29I can help you investigate and we just have to keep low. We can't be suspicious about this.
00:36:36I know. We have to find out who those people are and fast.
00:36:38I can try looking into this and getting more info and intel. I am the head of HR.
00:36:43But I need you to promise me that we will not tell anyone about this.
00:36:48Why not? I thought you wanted a promotion.
00:36:51You don't understand. This is dangerous. I could be in so much danger for just looking into this.
00:36:57Why? What do you have on those people?
00:37:00When I started investigating, I was just one person and I figured out there was four people behind this and I couldn't do anything.
00:37:07There are four of the head departments. I needed to tread carefully.
00:37:12How did you find out about this?
00:37:13I found a payroll slip with four names from people in different departments that don't exist.
00:37:19What?
00:37:26Hello?
00:37:28Hey, it's me. I'm calling to report what happened to Jayden this morning.
00:37:33Good job. Continue to keep trail of her. Follow her every single step.
00:37:38No. Even for a second. I got money worth. It's only half of it.
00:37:43You'll get the other half when I say so.
00:37:45Alright. No games though. I can always find you just like I'm doing to that woman now.
00:37:51Don't worry. We have a deal. I always keep my promises.
00:38:02Hi James. How's it going? How's the restaurant?
00:38:04Hey Lila. Just checking in. How's everything going?
00:38:08Yeah, it's good. It's a little different than my waitressing days, that's for sure.
00:38:12That's good to hear. We miss it at the restaurant, but I understand it's all for the better.
00:38:16Listen, I had an unusual visitor at the restaurant today. Some guy was asking about me to help screen.
00:38:22Really? Who was it?
00:38:24No, he didn't say. He just said he wanted to see you and he was with a woman too.
00:38:29That's weird. Did he say his name?
00:38:31He didn't say anything in particular. Just that he wanted to see you because he heard you with his waitress there.
00:38:37Oh. Must be one of my admirers. So many people used to tell me that I looked pretty before.
00:38:43I thought so too. That you sounded like he knew you. Like he knows you.
00:38:47Yeah. Strange to worry about that though. I'm sure it's nothing.
00:38:52Lila, please be careful. You never know who might show up.
00:38:55Don't worry James. I'm gonna be just fine.
00:38:58If you ever get into trouble, give me a call, okay?
00:39:01Alright. Goodnight James.
00:39:09Who was that?
00:39:11Oh, it was just James. He was calling to see how I was doing working as a secretary. Nothing to worry about.
00:39:17Okay.
00:39:19Yeah.
00:39:21Alexander. Spill the beans. How did you manage all of this?
00:39:25It's really impressive.
00:39:27It's a combination of things, Lila. Knowing the right people, networking, being in a circle of influence, and of course, knowing what needs to be done.
00:39:36But the most important thing in the business world, not just knowing the right people, but to know how to make them useful for yourself.
00:39:44How do you make people useful for yourself?
00:39:47It's actually a good question. I don't think I can explain.
00:39:52I don't think I can explain. There's a psychology trick that comes with it.
00:39:57You need to know how to make people do what you want, and how to make them go in peace when you don't need them.
00:40:04How do you make people hurt?
00:40:09So Jaden used me. He used me, and then disposed of me when I wasn't available to be trapped on anymore.
00:40:17Now I understand.
00:40:19Sounds like a winning formula. I'd love to get into that more.
00:40:22Just remember, Lila, it all starts with people. Knowing the right people will open the doors you never thought possible.
00:40:29Social networks are powerful tools.
00:40:32So that's the key. I'll make sure to use your advice.
00:40:36You're welcome.
00:40:38I know you do. And I'm sorry that I can't love you back, Alex. You're a good man.
00:40:45You will, eventually. You'll see.
00:40:53Hola, Lila.
00:40:55You speak Spanish, too?
00:40:57I do. You know, I know we just work together, but we can be friends, no?
00:41:03Friends? I don't do friends. I'm gonna be just fine on my own.
00:41:10Okay, since you're here, do you remember you were telling me about people that actually don't exist on the payroll?
00:41:17Shh, please. You can't talk about that here.
00:41:21Why?
00:41:23You don't know who's working for whom.
00:41:25Alright, but can you elaborate?
00:41:27So, the heads of the department put a list together with names that go straight into their private accounts.
00:41:34These names have job descriptions that don't exist in the company.
00:41:38They do this so that all of the money goes into the private account.
00:41:42The heads of the department get away with this because they're all working together.
00:41:46Do you remember the list that I made last week?
00:41:48Yeah. What about it?
00:41:51I made it, and I put it in for Alexander to see.
00:41:55Then, nothing happened, so I let it pass.
00:41:58Dylan, that's a massive gap between the actual income and what's submitted for audit.
00:42:03How did you uncover this?
00:42:05I've known for a while now, but I needed to just let it pass or my supervisors would have fired me.
00:42:11I didn't have a choice.
00:42:13So you were aware about this run going on and on?
00:42:15Yes, I've known, but my hands are tied.
00:42:18I needed to get concrete evidence before I could do anything.
00:42:22Thank you for being honest with me, Dylan.
00:42:25For now, we need to dig deeper and gather evidence against those involved, and then we can bring them down.
00:42:38Alexander, we have a serious issue.
00:42:40Alexander, we have a serious issue.
00:42:43There are significant financial discrepancies within the company involving key individuals.
00:42:48There are significant financial discrepancies within the company involving key individuals.
00:43:03Alexander, I was thinking, what if we collaborate on a business venture together?
00:43:09With your expertise and my determination, it's like a perfect combination.
00:43:14I must admit, Lala, your drive is admirable.
00:43:18What do you have in mind?
00:43:20I was observing your industry very closely.
00:43:23There are rumors of a groundbreaking project, and if we played our cards right, it might be ours.
00:43:30What do you know about our business?
00:43:32Let's just say that I have a very keen instinct on business.
00:43:40Together, we'll succeed.
00:43:45You know how to be convincing.
00:43:47But these matters are extremely sensitive.
00:43:51Millions of dollars are at play there.
00:43:54How do I know I can trust you?
00:43:57Trust is to be earned, I do realize that.
00:44:00I propose a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:44:04You make me the major shareholder of the company, and I make sure that all your interests are secured.
00:44:11We either rise or fall together.
00:44:14What's in it for you?
00:44:16A chance to prove myself, of course.
00:44:18And an opportunity to be a part of something bigger.
00:44:21Ida got the thieves out of your company, remember?
00:44:24They were stealing money right under your nose.
00:44:27But I did learn something from you.
00:44:29You have to use the people to get to the top.
00:44:33And this is what I'm planning to do, for both me and you.
00:44:36It's not only about you.
00:44:37Okay.
00:44:39Alright, Lila.
00:44:41Let's embark on this journey together.
00:44:44You've proven to be very capable, and I have a feeling that you will do this again.
00:44:50I was right about you.
00:44:52There is something inside of you.
00:44:56But I didn't figure it out.
00:44:59Yet.
00:45:01Then I'll leave it to you to figure.
00:45:04Alexander?
00:45:06Lila?
00:45:08I have a proposal to make that will benefit your company.
00:45:11And what could that be?
00:45:13There is an application that I came across.
00:45:16This person, if hired, will do great good for your company.
00:45:21And in fact, I think he should be promoted to head of finance.
00:45:25That's a good idea.
00:45:26This person, if hired, will do great good for your company.
00:45:30And in fact, I think he should be promoted to head of finance.
00:45:34Where is this Jaden guy?
00:45:36What makes him special?
00:45:38Oh, he came highly recommended by a previous employer.
00:45:41I think a person like him will be a very valuable addition to the team.
00:45:45I'm still not sure, Lila.
00:45:48What makes you think he's the guy?
00:45:51As I said before, he is very professional.
00:45:54And he's very qualified.
00:45:56A person like that will be an amazing ally.
00:46:00Alright.
00:46:03If you believe in his capabilities, then speak to Dylan, personal administrator.
00:46:08If Dylan approves, then so be it.
00:46:11Thank you, Alexander.
00:46:13I make sure this benefits all of us.
00:46:15I hope so.
00:46:25Dylan?
00:46:27I want you to contact this person and tell him that he was recruited by us.
00:46:32You decided to hire him?
00:46:34You know I don't have that much power.
00:46:36Mr. Alexander did.
00:46:38Jaden Phillips?
00:46:40Yeah.
00:46:54James, you are the only one that I can trust this with.
00:46:58I'm orchestrating a plan, slowly moving towards a goal.
00:47:02You're my family now.
00:47:04That's why I need your help.
00:47:06You are the one who knows the whole story.
00:47:08You are the one helping me out of the snow, out of the loneliness and despair that he put me through.
00:47:13I thought you bounced back.
00:47:15I thought letting you live with Alex would have taken your mind off of me.
00:47:20Bounce back?
00:47:21James, you don't just bounce back after a man just throws you out in the snow after you decided to spend the rest of your life with him.
00:47:30I understand. I understand.
00:47:33You don't understand!
00:47:35Nobody can understand me, James!
00:47:37The only thing that keeps me going is if he feels the pain that I felt.
00:47:43I need your help. Are you going to help me or not?
00:47:46Yeah, Lila, I'll help you. You're like family to me. I'll help you regardless.
00:47:49Thank you, James.
00:47:51Now you need to move quick. It is very crucial. I'm counting on you.
00:47:57I'll always help you out, Lila. You're family to me.
00:48:00Perfect.
00:48:07Hello.
00:48:09Hey, hello there.
00:48:11You look familiar. Do I know you?
00:48:13Yeah, yeah. I'm the owner of this restaurant and you're a stunning beauty.
00:48:17Oh, thank you.
00:48:22Michelle! I got the job! I got the job! They're giving me a high position in the firm!
00:48:29Oh my god, babe! It's amazing! Congratulations! I'm so proud of you.
00:48:34I can't believe it. I left it to luck and, you know, like, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:48:40I'm so proud of you. It's amazing. You deserve this.
00:48:44I know and it comes with a higher pay and it comes with many other benefits.
00:48:50I can't believe this is happening to me and they're gonna make me a head of finance.
00:48:54This is gonna be the biggest win for me.
00:48:57You know, ever since you came into my life, you bring me good luck charm.
00:49:02Yes, I think I am your good luck charm.
00:49:05You are. Of course you are. And you know what? Anything you want, I'll give it to you.
00:49:09I would like a Birkin bag.
00:49:12And you should have your Birkin bag.
00:49:15Anything for my good luck charm.
00:49:19You're the best.
00:49:21I know.
00:49:24Lila, I just sent an email to a Mr. Jaden Phillips. He'll be joining us real soon.
00:49:30Thank you, Dylan. I appreciate your efficiency. I'm sure Mr. Jaden will be a perfect addition to our team.
00:49:37Cheers.
00:49:41Alex, our joint venture could be revolutionary.
00:49:46I'll handle the majority of work and you just check in from time to time.
00:49:50Majority of work? What makes you think you should be having a major cut compared to mine?
00:49:58Darling, my job is to make you happy.
00:50:02Darling, must I remind you how I unrevealed all the thefts in your company?
00:50:09I just have a talent for this kind of things, for discovering secrets and all the rest.
00:50:17Not even taking a break until you get what you want, aren't you?
00:50:21But why not just become my wife? You can still have all of this, but you don't need to work so hard.
00:50:26Oh, Alexander. You do realize that marriage comes with its own complications, right?
00:50:32You just want to keep things interesting.
00:50:35And besides, the power dynamic is way more thrilling like this.
00:50:40Alright, Lila. Once again, you've proven yourself to be smart and good with management.
00:50:47The company is yours.
00:50:49You won't regret this.
00:50:50I can bring this company to great heights. I just can feel it.
00:50:54I always knew there was something about you. Was it just charisma? I'm not sure.
00:51:00Though I still know nothing about your past. Who exactly are you?
00:51:05Patience, my friend. Patience. The time is not right yet.
00:51:11When the time is right, you will know everything.
00:51:14You still have a lot of time.
00:51:16When the time is right, you will know everything.
00:51:19You still have a lot of secrets. Your mystery keeps attracting me every day to you.
00:51:26A woman with secret and confidence will never cease to amaze me.
00:51:31That's exactly who I am. A woman with a lot of secrets.
00:51:40Hello?
00:51:42You're in contact with a data report.
00:51:46Special.
00:51:48And that's all she did today.
00:51:50Thank you for your efforts. You've done a good job.
00:51:54Find out where she's going next. I need something important to arrange.
00:51:58I need to know where she's going tomorrow night. Just report to me before then.
00:52:02Got it. What about...
00:52:05Listen, just check your phone. I transferred you the rest of the payment already.
00:52:09Now go do your job that I paid you for.
00:52:16Okay.
00:52:30Hey, Ryla. What's up?
00:52:32Hey, James. I'll need you to make us surprises tomorrow.
00:52:35You don't mean...
00:52:37Anytime. I need you to make her fall for you and hard.
00:52:41Should we really be doing this?
00:52:42James, are you with me or not? You know that I'm doing this, with or without you.
00:52:48Does Alex know about any of this?
00:52:50Unless you tell him about it, there's no way of him knowing.
00:52:53I don't even answer phone calls near him.
00:52:56Do you think any of this is fair to him?
00:53:00There is literally no turning back.
00:53:03I'm about to close a deal and Alex is going to make me a major shareholder.
00:53:07I'm doing this. Alex was the one who told me that I should use people to get what I want.
00:53:12So, all I'm doing is following his advice.
00:53:15My revenge is this close, okay? So, I'm going to do it.
00:53:20Regardless, are you with me or are you not?
00:53:24I'm on your side, Ryla.
00:53:26Perfect.
00:53:31Step three.
00:53:35Ryla, Blake and Maggie, have a seat.
00:53:42What's up, Alexander? Is there anything important you want to talk about?
00:53:46Yes, there is.
00:53:48We are ready for our business venture. There is a catch.
00:53:54What's the catch?
00:53:56The catch, my dear, is you. I need you to oversee things there for a while.
00:54:01The benefits of being a shareholder? Well, you're lucky that you made me one.
00:54:06Because now I can overlook business while you're away juggling your other ventures.
00:54:09Good. I really trust in you.
00:54:12But, Ryla, you need to be very careful because I invested too much into this.
00:54:18And if it doesn't work out, it may be over for us.
00:54:22Don't worry, Alexander. I wouldn't have agreed if I wasn't sure of the potential of this new business.
00:54:28Good. That's good.
00:54:31On the other hand, the guy you recommended for the head of finance, Jayden, is ready to start.
00:54:37Really?
00:54:39Yes. Doug wanted to introduce him for our team.
00:54:44He will be on the business trip when he comes.
00:54:47Well, I guess we can be introduced personally once I'm back.
00:54:52Look, his resume is wonderful. And I recommended him to you.
00:54:57So I'm sure he will be a great addition to the team and work as hard as I have been.
00:55:02One more thing. I need somebody to keep an eye on everything that's going on here.
00:55:08Do you have somebody to recommend?
00:55:11Dylan is the perfect person for that. I'll delegate it to him.
00:55:14Sure.
00:55:16Anything else?
00:55:18No.
00:55:20Step by step, Jayden.
00:55:23I'll give you everything you've ever dreamed of and more.
00:55:26And then I'll just take it all away from you overnight.
00:55:29I'm going to ruin your life.
00:55:37Hey, Dylan. Are you at the office right now?
00:55:40Oh, cool. I'll be right there.
00:55:43Oh, hey.
00:55:45It's you. What are you doing here?
00:55:47Can't a man catch some down time around here?
00:55:50I'm not speculating. I just thought it was quite a nice coincidence for us to bump into each other.
00:55:56Want to grab lunch?
00:55:58Yeah, I'd love to.
00:56:02So, Michelle, tell me about yourself.
00:56:05I'm a lawyer.
00:56:07So, Michelle, tell me about yourself.
00:56:10There's not really much to tell, honestly.
00:56:13I grew up in a little town in Kansas and I graduated from SNU.
00:56:19Living a pretty regular life so far. How about you?
00:56:22Well, I'm from Minnesota and I grew up in Canada.
00:56:26I don't have any hobbies because I've got a restaurant to run.
00:56:30No way.
00:56:32Why are you so surprised?
00:56:33You seem like an all-rounder. I can't imagine you wouldn't have any hobbies.
00:56:39Well, I guess we could find out what you enjoy. But first, let's eat.
00:56:53What's up, Lila? How's it going?
00:56:55Dylan, I need you to do me a favor.
00:57:00When the new head of finance starts, I want you to keep an eye out for him.
00:57:05Just give him a warm welcome, just like you did when I first started.
00:57:08Show him around the office, introduce him to the team. You know the drill.
00:57:12Sure thing. You know it's my job to show the newbies around here.
00:57:16Ask them and see if they need my help when they need it.
00:57:19Got it. Do I mention you?
00:57:21Oh, no, no, no. I want you to personally introduce us when the time is right.
00:57:26As for now, I just want you to keep tabs on him, tell me everything he does.
00:57:32I just want to make sure that he's doing his job right while I'm away, you know?
00:57:38Lila, are you ready for the trip?
00:57:41Yeah, I was just clearing things up with Dylan, making sure he has everything while I'm away.
00:57:46Good. It's crucial that things are running smoothly here while you're gone.
00:57:51Of course. Don't worry about it. I have everything under control.
00:57:54I made sure that everything worked smoothly here while I'm away.
00:57:59And, in fact, I have a trusted ally that will report everything.
00:58:04When I say everything, I mean everything that's going on around here.
00:58:07Really? Who's that?
00:58:10I can't disclose his identity yet. At least not yet.
00:58:14Alright, I understand.
00:58:17Be your way then. As far as things running well here, I trust your judgments.
00:58:28Alexander, I want you to be very, very careful around here.
00:58:33A lot of things can go wrong if you're not on guard.
00:58:37Thanks, Lila.
00:58:39You're welcome.
00:58:47Alex! Long time no see. How's everything?
00:58:52Oh, it's been good. Just wanted to tell you it's my favorite dish and you know there's no better place than here.
00:58:57I thought you abandoned me when you took my little sister away.
00:59:01Don't say that. You're hurting my feelings. You know that's not true. I was just really busy recently.
00:59:06By the way, I'm here right now.
00:59:09Fair enough. How's Lila? Everything okay?
00:59:11Oh yeah, she's doing great. She's been doing wonders in my company.
00:59:15By the way, I'm just amazed at how capable she is.
00:59:18Yeah, I get that. But are you not worried?
00:59:22She's working for you, living with you, but still keeping things casual.
00:59:30Are you worried she's not committing fully?
00:59:33No, I think it's all fine. Maybe it's just not that easy for her to trust when it's the gun to open up to somebody.
00:59:41But I can feel that she's working from the heart. I think she wants to do that, not just because she has to do that.
00:59:50Yeah, I get that. But there's more to people than meets the eye. I just hope she doesn't do you wrong.
00:59:57Thank you, James. I'm gonna be fine. Let's enjoy the meal.
01:00:00Exactly how much do you know about her? What do you know about her?
01:00:06Let's be honest, James. I know nothing about her. She doesn't tell me anything. And that just drives me crazy.
01:00:19I am trying not to think about that too much, but it's just hard.
01:00:24She's doing really good in my company. She helped me sort out a few issues, including the financial issue there.
01:00:30Maybe it's just like you said. She'll open up when she's ready. But until then, do take care of her and stay open-minded.
01:00:44Can you please tell me what exactly happened to her? What's your story, James?
01:00:51It's not my story to tell.
01:00:54One down, two to go.
01:00:59You're a strong, independent woman, Lila. You're a queen. You're not gonna let any man mistreat you again.
01:01:08Jaden, he did it first. He broke my heart. He shattered my life into pieces. I'm going to make him face the consequences.
01:01:17Feel the pain that I felt and be as miserable as he made me feel.
01:01:24Jaden, Jaden. Did you ever love me? Did you ever think of me after we broke up? Or was it all for show?
01:01:34Remember why you're doing this, Lila. Remember what brought you here.
01:01:42You're gonna prove to everybody and to yourself that no matter what life throws at you, you're gonna crawl out of it.
01:01:50Remember what brought you here. You're gonna prove to everybody and to yourself that no matter what life throws at you, you're gonna crawl out of it.
01:02:06How you been doing?
01:02:07Great. I'm just trying to meditate. Can I have some alone time, please?
01:02:14Yeah, sure. I just, uh, you didn't eat anything today. So I asked the chef to make something special for you. It's downstairs.
01:02:22Cool. I appreciate it. Now, could I have some silence, please?
01:02:32Can I know how you exactly met James? I think I need to know everything. Like how, when, and why it happened.
01:02:41What does that have to do with anything? Why are you asking me? That's all I said. I told you, me and James are just friends.
01:02:50That's true. I just, I don't feel that it's true. First James saying, I don't have to snooping around, and now you're saying you're just friends. Is something happening between the two of you?
01:03:05Uh, well, if there is, you're gonna find out.
01:03:08Soon.
01:03:20Remember, it's a huge deal. Don't mess it up.
01:03:23I've heard that so many times, Alexander. Why can't you just trust me? If you don't trust me, you could just go instead of me.
01:03:30You know I'm not doubting your competence, right? It's just a huge risk.
01:03:35And I know that.
01:03:36Alright, you can handle this.
01:03:45Remember, I believe in you. You can do this.
01:03:49Is everything alright?
01:03:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine. Yeah, everything's fine. I just need to get going, that's all.
01:03:58You mentioned he was caught in a snail, James. And every time it snails, you remember him. What happened?
01:04:04Uh, where is this coming from?
01:04:07You didn't answer the question.
01:04:09Look, it's not even worth discussing. It's not a big deal. We just met in the snow. That's all.
01:04:15Look, I really need to get going. I'll call you when I get there, and it's just gonna be a few days.
01:04:20Alright, be careful.
01:04:22Be careful.
01:04:32Something was wrong with him, Elias.
01:04:36Something just doesn't feel right.
01:04:40Case is called.
01:04:42Was it everything like that?
01:04:44I've just mentioned it now.
01:04:47I'm taking a sick.
01:04:51So, Michelle, tell me about yourself. Where did you go to school?
01:04:57I went to Stanford, actually. Great times there.
01:05:01And what about relationships? Have you been married?
01:05:05I was once. It didn't really work out.
01:05:09But then I met Jaden, and we've been together since college.
01:05:13Whenever he needed me, I was there for him.
01:05:16I see.
01:05:18What about you, James? Have you ever been married?
01:05:21No, no. My sole focus has been on the restaurants since I've started it.
01:05:28What about love? Have you ever been in love?
01:05:32Yeah, once. It happened during the snowfall.
01:05:36Oh, tell me more about that.
01:05:37That's not all in the past. Tonight is about us.
01:05:41Oh.
01:05:43Tell me, what do you like to do?
01:05:45I love shopping. It's my therapy.
01:05:49I'm guessing that's why I saw you at the boutique.
01:05:52You're right. It's my favorite thing to do in the whole world.
01:05:56Besides being with me?
01:05:58Oh, James, stop.
01:06:00Oh, what was that? Did you just reject me?
01:06:04No, I could never.
01:06:07Then let's not waste any more time. Cheers.
01:06:10Cheers.
01:06:22Hello?
01:06:24Check your email. Picture sent.
01:06:29Good job.
01:06:31Good job. Keep them coming. We're almost done here.
01:06:36And remember to not get caught.
01:06:39If you raise any suspicions, you're on your own here.
01:06:52Hello?
01:06:54Lila, how was your business trip?
01:06:56Going well.
01:06:57I'm confident we will seal the deal and build our name soon.
01:07:01Got rocky at one point, but I managed to get it out of control. Eventually.
01:07:07Nice to hear that. Congratulations, Lila. Well done.
01:07:12I, uh, I missed you.
01:07:15How about we grab a late night dinner when you get back?
01:07:18Oh, I missed you too. But I'm kind of tired after the trip.
01:07:23You sound different.
01:07:24You sound different.
01:07:26It's really hard to recognize the girl who served me a salmon with asparagus at Jim's place.
01:07:32You are so right. The old Lila is gone.
01:07:37What's exactly your story? What's your past? What happened to you? I need to know everything.
01:07:44All this time, I was trusting you, but now you're just making it too difficult for me to keep trusting you.
01:07:51When you get back, you tell me everything. Everything about yourself.
01:07:57Or otherwise you're out of my business.
01:08:01Calm down. I'll tell you everything you need to know.
01:08:05Honestly, I'm surprised you lasted this long. I'm really impressed.
01:08:09Yeah, it's just how you said. It must be out of my mind.
01:08:14But, uh, maybe it's just how crazy I am about you.
01:08:17Don't say that. Look, I understand that you're upset, but you need to chill.
01:08:23I have a lot of good news for you. Speaking of good news, I have even bigger things to share with you when I'm back. Alright?
01:08:34I have a lot to discuss when you'll be back.
01:08:38Oh, I didn't mention. This guy, Jordan Phillips, the new head of finance, he just started today.
01:08:44Be careful.
01:08:53Thank you, Mr. Alexander. I am really excited to be here. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
01:09:00The pleasure is ours, Jaden. The application really caught our eyes. It actually was handpicked by my secretary.
01:09:05Wow, um, thank you. I would like to thank her personally. Do you know where she is? I didn't see her at the front desk when I came in.
01:09:13Well, she is away on a business trip. She'll be back in a few days, very soon. So you can thank her later.
01:09:21She personally recommended you HR.
01:09:24Wow, I understand.
01:09:26Everything you need to start will be shown to you. I hope we'll get along very well.
01:09:30Thank you, sir. I hope I'll give you a new glance.
01:09:33Nice to hear that, Jaden.
01:09:39Hey there. You must be Jaden. It's Dylan. Nice to meet you.
01:09:43Nice to meet you, too, Dylan.
01:09:45They call me the personnel person around here. I'm here to show you the ropes and let you know if you have any questions.
01:09:50I very much appreciate that, man. I hear there's a lot to learn here.
01:09:53No worries. I'm here for you.
01:09:55I very much appreciate that, man. I hear there's a lot to learn here.
01:09:59No worries. I'm your friend. I got you.
01:10:01So, as head of finance, you're going to be dealing with a lot of documents from other departments.
01:10:07So let me show you the records room.
01:10:10Okay, yeah. Thanks, man. I appreciate that.
01:10:12Right this way.
01:10:14Jaden Phillips is here.
01:10:20Hey, Jaden. I'm heading out for a little bit.
01:10:22Again? Mitch, you're going out a lot lately.
01:10:25What's going on?
01:10:27Nothing major. I'm just going to see some friends.
01:10:30Friends? Who are these friends? You've been very secretive lately. You know that?
01:10:34What's really going on?
01:10:36Why do you always have to interrogate me? I do have a life outside this house.
01:10:39I know that. I just want to say hello to your friends.
01:10:42You want to go with me? That's a little bit crazy, no?
01:10:47Or are you just, like, insecure?
01:10:49You're calling me insecure? Huh? Are you gaslighting me?
01:10:51I don't know where you're going every night. Talk about life.
01:10:55What's your problem? We're not even married. Like, you married her, not me.
01:11:00Don't forget that. I won't have you treat me like a housewife.
01:11:05You know I didn't mean that, baby. You know that, right?
01:11:08I won't tolerate you trying to tell me what I can and can't do.
01:11:22Mr. Diligent, I see. Putting us to shame with your work ethic.
01:11:27Nah, man. Just trying to stay on top of things, man.
01:11:30You know, Alex has been keeping an eye on you.
01:11:32Really? Yeah. He's starting to think you're secretly a workaholic.
01:11:36Nah, I'm just trying to keep the ship sailed smoothly, man.
01:11:40I vouched for you, too. I said that you're on top of everything and you're a great guy.
01:11:44Man, that's sweet. I'm just trying to keep the money coming. Man's gotta eat, you know.
01:11:48Of course, you're right there. So, how was your last place of work?
01:11:53Well, there were some minor issues, so I had to leave.
01:11:56Minor issue? Regarding what?
01:11:58Yeah, well, for one, they didn't have a private executive lounge.
01:12:02Ah, okay. Definitely a serious issue.
01:12:05Right, yeah. I know you'll understand.
01:12:07Alright, well, have a good afternoon and if you need anything, please feel free to let me know.
01:12:12Thank you, man. I appreciate it.
01:12:14No problem.
01:12:18There's something fishy about Jaden. I don't think I can trust him.
01:12:23Absolutely, Lila. I'll get back to you as soon as I find anything. When are you coming back to work?
01:12:32James, what's wrong?
01:12:35Michelle, we need to talk.
01:12:38Talk about what?
01:12:40That hug. It was a goodbye.
01:12:42Goodbye? James, what are you talking about?
01:12:45Michelle, I know you are in a relationship with Jaden and have been living with him all this time.
01:12:54Why does it matter?
01:12:56What matters is that I don't want to be a part of what you and Jaden have going on. I'm done.
01:13:00Done? We can talk about this. Please tell me why.
01:13:06You're living with him, Michelle. I can't top that and honestly, I don't want to.
01:13:10Then why did you go along with all of this? The dating, the conversations?
01:13:14I was ready to leave him and start a new life with you.
01:13:18As to why, you'll find out soon enough.
01:13:21And I'm really honoured you're thinking about leaving your man for me.
01:13:25But you don't have to. That's too much, really.
01:13:28James, what are you saying?
01:13:31One thing you can do for me is to leave my restaurant on a five-star review.
01:13:35Let's make it a deal for all the free meals so none of us feels bad about this.
01:13:42Don't do this, James.
01:13:56James, I'm so sorry that I dragged you into this.
01:14:00I know it has nothing to do with you, but you did it all for me.
01:14:04It's okay, Lila. Thanks to you, I went on a date for the first time in a long time. I felt rusty.
01:14:10Since you're so thankful, how about you swing by the restaurant sometime when you're back?
01:14:14Of course I will.
01:14:16James, I've listened to all the recordings. Thank you for doing this. I know it wasn't easy for you.
01:14:23All I wanted for you was to be happy. I hope you find the closure you need and you deserve a happy life.
01:14:30James, why didn't you say anything about your feelings for me?
01:14:35Some things are just better left unsaid.
01:14:37You're already going through so much and I just wanted you to be happy.
01:14:41That's why I thought it would be best for you to live with Alexander.
01:14:46Even though I couldn't see through you, all you really cared about was my well-being.
01:14:51You made me feel better about what Jaden has put me through.
01:14:54And I feel so secure when you're around me.
01:14:56James, I'll come see you when I'm back. It's a lot for us to process right now. Good night.
01:15:08Proceed with the last phase.
01:15:10I understand. What's the text?
01:15:13I will send you an email address. Send all the pictures and recordings there. Make sure it's untraceable. And be careful. Got it?
01:15:22I will take care of it. You can count on me.
01:15:27Good morning, Dylan.
01:15:29Lila, you're mistaken about Jaden. His previous employer didn't have anything good to say about him at all.
01:15:36Excellent work. Report this directly to Alexander. Let him handle this.
01:15:41Understood. I'll take care of it.
01:15:43Good job. And I'm coming back.
01:15:47Michelle? What's this?
01:15:52Jaden, I can explain.
01:15:54Explain? These pictures? These recordings? What else is there to explain?
01:16:00I was saying...
01:16:02I was saying...
01:16:04I was saying...
01:16:06I was saying...
01:16:08I was saying...
01:16:10I was saying...
01:16:12I was saying...
01:16:14I was saying...
01:16:16You have to let me explain.
01:16:18You played me like a fool, huh?
01:16:20All the hangouts, late night outs that I've asked you about, you always said you just go out with your friends. Is that what it is? You've been cheating on my back?
01:16:30Please, let me explain.
01:16:32I left my wife for you. I left Lila for you. And this is how you repay me? You've cheated on my back?
01:16:40You've cheated on my back?
01:16:42Don't blame me for the failure of your marriage. You decided to let her go. You decided to be unfaithful.
01:16:49And so what if I go and check out another man? It's not like we're married. I have freedom to do whatever it is I desire. So spare me nonsense.
01:17:00Is that all you have to say?
01:17:02What else is there to say? This is not what it looks like.
01:17:06Pack your things and leave. Get out.
01:17:10Okay.
01:17:21Alexander, we need to talk.
01:17:24Yes, Lila, we should talk.
01:17:27I knew nothing about you, and yet I trusted you. And I gave you everything to fall in love with me.
01:17:32But then I looked into your eyes right before you left, and I realized I already lost the battle. There's something changed inside of me.
01:17:40I've been carrying an enormous amount of secrets, and it's been crushing my soul.
01:17:46I'm almost here to talk, Lila. What happened?
01:17:49It's Jaden. He betrayed me, Alexander. He cheated on me. He broke my heart, and he shattered everything that was left of me.
01:18:00He's...
01:18:05I'm so sorry. It must be incredibly painful.
01:18:09It was. I just can't let it go.
01:18:12I was here to help you. You're not alone. You don't have to carry this alone anymore.
01:18:18You can't help me, Alexander. I know that you're a good man, but I just can't give you what you want of me right now.
01:18:25Until I make Jaden suffer for what he did to me, I will not let go of my past.
01:18:33You don't have to do it that way. This revenge will give you nothing. Just let it go.
01:18:41It's too late. I can't let it go.
01:18:44I already started this journey of revenge, and I will finish it, no matter what.
01:18:49You're better than that. You don't have to do this. And I'm here. I can erase all the pain he caused you.
01:18:53Until I make Jaden Phillips pay, I will not stop.
01:19:02Jaden Phillips? My new head of finance?
01:19:07Yeah. Jaden Phillips. Your new head of finance.
01:19:15Jaden, will you come to my office, please?
01:19:19Yes, right now.
01:19:24You wanted to see me, sir?
01:19:26Yes, Jaden. I'd like you to meet someone.
01:19:31Lila! What are you doing here?
01:19:34Hello, Jaden. Surprise, surprise. I'm Alexander's secretary.
01:19:39And a major shareholder for the company's new venture. It was actually I who recommended you for this job.
01:19:45Wait. What? How?
01:19:48Right now, Lila is much more than just a secretary.
01:19:51As you've heard, she's one of the major shareholders of our new company.
01:19:56So you'd better speak to her very carefully.
01:19:59A shareholder? How did that happen?
01:20:01You know what? That's not important. We're here to talk about you.
01:20:04Now let's just cut straight to the chase.
01:20:06We found some pretty shady records from your previous employer.
01:20:11Whoa, whoa, whoa. That... How? That's not true.
01:20:15It is true.
01:20:18And now, unfortunately, we will have to let you go.
01:20:21Lila, how did you come here? I thought you were a waitress.
01:20:27It's nothing personal. I'm sorry, but we won't be needing your services here.
01:20:33And I trust Lila's judgments. I think now, Jaden, it's just time for you to leave.
01:20:39Oh, and by the way, I heard about your little fight with Michelle. Oh, I'm so sorry about that.
01:20:44You can go now. Get out of here.
01:20:47You're nothing but evil, Lila.
01:20:52He's so good at it.
01:20:57Who's there?
01:21:02Your worst nightmare.
01:21:04You. What are you doing here? Huh?
01:21:06What are you doing here? Huh? Haven't you done enough?
01:21:10Oh, look at you. Such a mess. I never thought I'd see you like this.
01:21:17Oh, actually, that's a lie.
01:21:20That is all I ever wanted ever since you put me out in the snow all by myself.
01:21:26I wanted to see you suffer.
01:21:29I waited, and I saw you lose everything you love and everyone you love, including that little mistress of yours.
01:21:39Such a shame, though. I didn't think that this would happen so fast.
01:21:43But here we are.
01:21:45You're a bitch. You deserve nothing but betrayal.
01:21:51You always wanted to be the perfect one, and you made me feel less.
01:21:54Everyone was always saying, Lila, Lila, the perfect one.
01:21:59Wow, is that why you hated me? Because I made you feel less?
01:22:05You are an asshole, and you deserve everything that's happened to you.
01:22:11You're sick, Lila. You're sick.
01:22:14And you're drunk.
01:22:16And pathetic. Ooh, I have an idea. Why don't you ask Michelle to come help you with this mess?
01:22:22Oh, sorry. My bad.
01:22:24I forgot. She left you.
01:22:26Rot in hell.
01:22:28I'm sure there's enough place for both of us here.
01:22:32Ciao now.
01:22:43I never thought that we'd be here together like this.
01:22:46Yeah, look at you, Lila. All grown up, and a big shot in the corporate world.
01:22:49Thank you, James. I really appreciate your support.
01:22:53I had nobody to go to when I was left out there in the snow all by myself, and I had nobody to help me.
01:23:00And you helped pick up the pieces of my life.
01:23:03It's alright, Lila. We're a family now.
01:23:06You know, I've always admired your intelligence. I'm really glad you're now a part of my business.
01:23:11Alexander, thank you for saying something I didn't say in myself.
01:23:17You helped me a bunch.
01:23:20I understand everything. I hope you will heal from all the pain Jake caused you.
01:23:27Let that be a new chapter in your life, right?
01:23:33Without the both of you, it would have been a totally different story for me.
01:23:38That day, when I met you under the snow, should have been the surest day of my life.
01:23:45I was so sure that we would end up together.
01:23:50If only you'd loved me as much as I did.
01:23:54We would have kids, and I'd cook you terrible meals.
01:23:57I used everyone around me to hurt you.
01:24:02But you're still the only one that I've ever loved.
01:24:05And now, we're gonna face loneliness for the rest of our lives.
01:24:10They all say that I'm strong, and this is the life that I have to live now.
01:24:17I'm sorry.
01:24:18We're gonna face loneliness for the rest of our lives.
01:24:21They all say that I'm strong, and this is the life that I have to live now.
01:24:30I will find peace.
