00:00Ethan. I need to talk to you about these photos. Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following
00:08Dwayne?
00:09Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne. He's had his suspicions about
00:14Dwayne's loyalty for a while. We then delivered the photos.
00:18Mr. Lane! What a surprise. Should I tell Miss Lane you're here?
00:24No need to.
00:26Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:32Joshua's a... He's a complicated man. He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:39He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia. This must mean he cares about
00:43you.
00:44He could just talk to me next time.
00:47Well, Joshua has his ways. He might not show it, but he cares deeply. I just ask that you
00:55don't hurt him.
00:57I won't.
01:00You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
01:08Joshua, I need to talk to you. It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
01:13What about it?
01:14I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne. Why didn't you just talk to me?
01:18It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
01:21Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance? Did you do it because...
01:27No, no. It's nothing like that. I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
01:33It would look bad for me.
01:34So it's all about appearances?
01:36Yes, Mia. It's all it ever is. We agreed to a business arrangement.
01:41Joshua, I'm so tired of this. Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
01:48I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
01:56I want a divorce.
01:59Joshua, I want a divorce.
02:04You sure about this?
02:08I deserve something real in my life, Joshua. Not this facade.
02:13I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life. I want genuine happiness.
02:20I understand. If that's what you want.
02:27Joshua, please.
02:31Let's proceed with the divorce.
02:43I'm sorry.
02:57Damn.
02:58I'm sorry.
03:11Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
03:14Mia. Mia?
03:18Don't leave. Don't leave.
03:19You're drunk. Please, help me take him to his car.
03:25I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
03:29Okay. Let's go.
03:40Mia. Mia.
03:50Morning, Josh. Here, drink this. You have had quite a night.
03:56Susie.
03:58Where am I?
04:00This is my apartment. Nothing bad happened. I also drove your car back here.
04:06How did I get here?
04:08You were really drunk. I didn't think you should be alone. Josh, what happened?
04:15It's over between me and Mia. We're getting a divorce.
04:19Maybe it was never meant to be. You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
04:33No, I can't do this, Susie.
04:36Why? I have always loved you. Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
04:43Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister. It can't be anything more. I'm sorry.
04:52Do you really love that Mia Gerber?
04:58Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
05:02I need to go tell her. Now.
05:05Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
05:09I need to go tell her. Now.
05:35...automatic door opening...
05:53Noah, hey. I've decided to divorce Joshua.
05:57Are you okay?
05:59I'm fine. It's just... it's for the best.
06:02There's something I need to tell you, Noah.
06:05Sorry. It's the hospital. Hello?
06:09What? What happened? Is he okay?
06:14Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
06:16What's wrong?
06:17It's Joshua. He's been in an accident.
06:26Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm here for Joshua Lane.
06:32Joshua.
06:37Joshua.
06:40Miss Gerber?
06:41Yeah.
06:42We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
06:47It's not my fault.
06:51It was nobody's fault. It was an accident. But right now, he needs you. Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
06:59I won't leave you, Joshua.
07:04You remember that soup you made me? That meant the world to me.
07:10Whenever you get better, I'm going to make you that soup.
07:16Because I know it was your mom's recipe. It was those little moments with you.
07:20You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning, sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
07:38Please come back to me.
07:43This is all your fault, Mia. You drove him away.
07:47This is all your fault, Mia. You drove him to this. You hurt him. And now, look what's happened to him.
08:02Mia, we have a problem. Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma. Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
08:11So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage. I won't stand for it.
08:15What's the plan?
08:17I'm meeting with Mr. Lane. He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings. His voice can sway their hand.
08:25Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
08:28I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber. After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
08:34You're too kind.
08:35I'm merely stating a fact. Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
08:40So, tell me. Why do you want to see me? Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
08:46You're a wise man, Mr. Lane. Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings. We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
08:56I can't do anything at this time. Joshua is out of commission. It's best to have someone lead the company.
09:04Gerald is not in good health after his stroke. Alex is the only choice.
09:10And what if I told you there's another choice?
09:14And what if I told you there's another choice?
09:18I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife. I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
09:29Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment. If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow. And I promise, I won't disappoint.
09:42Can you run two companies at the same time?
09:45I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation. They'll keep things running smoothly even if I'm not there full-time. I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
09:56What if he doesn't?
09:58He will.
10:00I admire your tenacity. I'll do what I can.
10:04Thank you, Mr. Lane.
10:22I'll fight for you, Joshua.
10:25You did the same for me.
10:31I won't let you down.
10:37Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
10:45Mia Gerber? She's from a different company. How is she even qualified?
10:49Mia's Joshua's wife, the legal heir. She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation. Combining the strengths of both companies under her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
11:01This is absurd. Mia's practically a stranger to our company's operations.
11:07While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
11:13And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings, I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
11:23I agree with Mr. Lane. Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
11:29We're dead.
11:31Stop, Alex.
11:37Joshua, I hope you're proud.
11:39Let's go.
11:41Are you going to take over with no consequences, Mia?
11:44I'm going to make her pay.
11:48We won't be touching her.
11:50Who the fuck are you?
11:56Dammit, she's gone. Take care of her.
12:09See the security camera? I'm going to get the footage. And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
12:15You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings. Ever.
12:19Goddammit!
12:29Thanks.
12:31Noah?
12:38Noah, what happened?
12:40Don't worry, I'm fine.
