I Fell In Love With My Office Rival - @LoveBuster456
Do you need to find your love, or does it need to find you?
Dina didn’t feel like she belonged at her office’s get-together. But as she was about to leave, her boss called her on stage to give a toast. Yet, instead of a cheerful message, he began to poke fun at her weight. At some point, she couldn’t put up with him anymore. She rushed off the stage and accidentally tripped. And while everyone was bursting into laughter, her biggest professional rival stepped in to help.
Alex, the guy she liked but never dared to approach, was suddenly holding her hand.

00:00I lost my specialist, and I need someone to replace, and I feel good, and that's what I do.
00:05I'm going to give you a great salary, health insurance, we're going to fix your schedule.
00:10I'm going to put you in a nice, open, beautiful view, and I'll see you home.
00:16And then it became clear to me what all those meetings were for.
00:21You know, um...
00:23I'm not even offended that, um, you used me.
00:32Oh, come on, it's not like this.
00:34I just...
00:38regret wasting my time with you.
00:45Nina! I'm waiting for you on stage. Give her a round of applause.
00:53Thank you.
01:01Are you looking at Alex, our main competitor?
01:04No, I wasn't looking at anyone.
01:06No, guys like that love models.
01:08You're certainly good at counting company expenses, but obviously not your calories.
01:12I wasn't looking at anyone, okay?
01:15God, why do I put up with this?
01:23I was sure I would never find love.
01:25But on that terrible day, this stranger had already prepared his trap for me.
01:31My name is Dina, and this is my love story.
01:36Hey, you okay? You hurt?
01:39What?
01:40Not hurt?
01:42No.
01:44Come on, let's get you up. Come on.
01:48Don't worry about these jerks. They're just jealous.
01:53What?
01:54You know, you have the most beautiful eyes in the world.
01:59Anyway, Alex Duncan. Pleasure to meet you.
02:03And you are?
02:05He was even more handsome up close.
02:08My insides clenched and my mouth went dry and I was unbearably ashamed and scared.
02:15I'm sorry, I have to go now.
02:17I didn't know then what secret Alex was hiding and why he needed me.
02:24I couldn't sleep all night because of that Alex. Why did he come up to me at all?
02:36Hi.
02:38It's Dina, right? That's your name?
02:43Oh, you must have come for your jacket.
02:45No, no, no. I came because I wanted to invite you for a dinner with me.
02:51Me? What for?
02:54What do you mean, what for? Why do you invite girls for a dinner?
02:59I don't know. I don't ask girls to a dinner.
03:03Listen, am I going to believe that no one ever invited such a beautiful girl for a date before?
03:09What? You don't think I'm lying?
03:14What? No.
03:16Listen, the other day everybody was making fun of you and I really hated it.
03:19So I thought I'm going to do something nice to cheer you up.
03:23Oh, I didn't care at all. My boss is just an idiot and everyone grovels in front of him and so on.
03:30So, how about this dinner together?
03:37You and I are competitors. Why would you want to do that?
03:40Listen, I'm not inviting you as a CEO of a company. I'm inviting you as a nice guy.
03:49Look, I don't think you need this.
03:52Well, I'm a grown man and I know what I want and what I need.
03:55So, why don't you tell me why you cannot go out with me?
04:01Well, I can. It's just…
04:03Correct. See? It wasn't that hard. I'll call you tomorrow. Bye.
04:11Huh?
04:16Oh my God. I thought I was going to go crazy with excitement.
04:21He definitely needs something from me. Because it can't be true. Or can it?
04:29Did I hear you right?
04:33There's something wrong here. It just can't be true.
04:36Of course it can. You're a beautiful girl.
04:39Yeah, right off the cover.
04:40A beautiful girl is asked out by a man. It's a common situation.
04:45Common?
04:48Last time I was asked out by Patrick Miles in 8th grade. And he did it to get me to take his test. And you know all about it.
04:56So what? Not all men are cheaters. And it's your turn to fight the right one.
05:02I don't have time. I have a month's reports coming in. And I'm used to being with you…
05:07Come here to me.
05:11And listen carefully.
05:17You don't have any private life because of my disability. Not because there is something wrong with you.
05:23Not at all. I love taking care of you.
05:27Thank you.
05:35Look. Could you please your sick mother and put your pretty dress on and go on the stage?
05:42Why are you so crazy about this date?
05:44Remember. Life gives everyone a chance to find love. The main thing is not to miss it.
05:53It was my first date and I was full. But then he suggested we go for a walk and I had to keep holding my belly.
06:02So finally can you explain me why you didn't want to go out with me at the first place?
06:07I couldn't believe it because I… well, you know. I thought that there would be some kind of a catch.
06:15That it was my idiot boss testing me or something.
06:20Honestly, probably it's going to sound crazy, but I've never been in a relationship.
06:30You know, me and you are quite similar. I spend a lot of time home and I've never been in a serious relationship.
06:37What? You?
06:39Yeah.
06:40I can't believe it.
06:41Why not?
06:42You look like you've been photoshopped.
06:45Why not?
06:46You look like you've been photoshopped. I can't even see you have a six-pack through your shirt.
06:51And this thick hair. Girls love guys like you.
06:54Oh, come on, come on. You're funny. You're funny. I give you that.
06:58No, usually the girls that I hang out with are really focused on my credit cards.
07:04Really? What's so special about it?
07:08I really had a great time today and I was hoping we could go again tomorrow.
07:16Only if you bring your special credit card.
07:19I will, I will.
07:23We started seeing each other almost every day.
07:27Sometimes he would act like the cheesy romantic from the movie and there was something unnatural about it.
07:34But when we started talking and joking, it was like he was taking off his mask.
07:41And he was good. And I think I understood why he wasn't in a relationship.
07:47I think he was a mama's boy.
07:51But that didn't bother me one bit.
07:54I liked the way he looked at me.
07:57Even though it made me sweat like a pig.
08:01These meetings are more boring than anything I've done in my whole life.
08:07And it's not much fun, believe me.
08:09Bad work, work, huh?
08:11Yeah.
08:13So anyway, what do you think is going to be your focus for next quarter?
08:18Why would you want to know that?
08:20It's not a secret that you are probably one of the top financial advisors in the whole city.
08:24And normally it would be impossible to lure you to a different company.
08:27But now that we have this great relationship…
08:30I lost my specialist and I need someone to replace.
08:34And I feel good.
08:36I'm going to give you a great salary, health insurance, we have a fixed schedule.
08:40And I'm going to put you in a nice, open, beautiful view.
08:43And hopefully we'll get feedback in June.
08:46And I'm going to put you in a nice, open, beautiful view.

08:53And then it became clear to me what all those meetings were for.
08:58You know, um…
09:05I'm not even offended that you used me.
09:10Come on, it's not like this.
09:12I just…
09:15regret wasting my time with you.
09:18I could spend my time with my mother who can't walk.
09:22And who is sitting there alone now while…
09:28while I waste my time on an idiot like you.
09:31Come on, it's not…
09:33And the only person I hate for that is myself.
09:35So that's the reason you didn't let me in?
09:37It doesn't matter anymore.
09:39I'll bring your jacket back.
09:41Don't worry.
09:43No, wait. Please let me explain. Dina, please don't go like this.
09:45Dina, wait.
09:49Yes, mom.
09:51It felt so bad.
09:54After all, he was using me.
09:56Alex kept calling and writing, but…
09:59I didn't answer, even when he came to my apartment.
10:04I decided not to go out until he left.
10:07I wanted to forget about him as soon as I could.
10:15I tried to go back to my normal life.
10:17Though I still thought about him every day.
10:21Can we talk?
10:23Come on, please let me explain.
10:25What's the matter?
10:27Is guilt eating you up?
10:29Yes, at first I was trying to seduce you to get you to make contact.
10:33Come on, come on, I'm not done.
10:36But then I get to know you.
10:38The real you.
10:40And you're great, you're fantastic, you're funny.
10:43And I really care about you.
10:47I cannot lose you.
10:49You and I are too different, Alex.
10:51It won't work.
10:53You're wrong, we're not.
10:58My mom is also sick.
11:01She's been for a long time.
11:03She cannot walk, she's always home.
11:05That's why she's calling me all the time.
11:07And I was always alone with it, but…
11:09Finally I found someone who understands me.
11:13And what we have, it's special.
11:15You know it's special.
11:17You just want me to count your money.
11:20And all you think about is your status and how you look in the eyes of others.
11:25No, I don't care, I don't care.
11:27How can you prove it?
11:37Cheers.
11:44And this one for you.
11:48Thank you.
11:51Come on, honey, I'm begging you.
11:55Give me a second chance, please.
11:59I think you've really stained your reputation.
12:03I think I did.
12:12My mom was right.
12:14Life gives everyone a chance to find love.
12:17The main thing is not to miss it.
