00:00:005...4...3...2...1...
00:00:05Happy New Year!
00:00:07Happy New Year, you magnificent bastards.
00:00:10Go enjoy your night. You certainly earned it.
00:00:31Cheryl! You've admired him for so long.
00:00:35Just go talk to him.
00:00:37I'm just a lowly intern, okay?
00:00:40He would never go for me.
00:00:42This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, okay?
00:00:45Don't you want our apartment gossip to be about more than just watching him from afar?
00:00:54You're right.
00:00:56Thank you, Busty. I'm gonna go for it.
00:00:58Go on, girl.
00:01:05You get yourself a fancy office job, and all I get is this lousy waitressing gig.
00:01:13Bestie my butt.
00:01:16What a phony.
00:01:19Thank you so much, Mr. Anderson, for the amazing internship.
00:01:26Champagne?
00:01:27Oh, that would be great. Yeah.
00:01:31Hi.
00:01:32Hi! How have you been doing? It's so good to see you.
00:01:35You too.
00:01:36How's the family?
00:01:37Good.
00:01:38Good.
00:01:39Wow, cherries.
00:01:41Want a cherry?
00:01:42I do not.
00:01:43I would agree.
00:01:49They're so good.
00:01:58Mm-hmm. It is delicious, like you.
00:02:04Your hair looks really nice.
00:02:05Thanks, I'll just cut it.
00:02:09It looks good. I just cut my hair too.
00:02:11Yeah.
00:02:23Have you seen my room?
00:02:28Hello, handsome.
00:02:31I don't want the girls to know I'm here.
00:02:57Hi.
00:03:28Oh no. I slept with my boss. I'm so fired.
00:03:37Shit. Gotta run before he wakes up.
00:03:50Shit, shit, shit!
00:03:57Don't blame me, Cheryl. You gave this one up yourself.
00:04:28Oh, shit.
00:04:29Oh my God.
00:04:32Who are you?
00:04:34Did we just...
00:04:38Look, sir, I know I'm just a waitress, but that doesn't mean you can take advantage of me.
00:04:46Oh my God.
00:04:50Here, take this.
00:04:53I don't want your money.
00:04:57Sir, I finally found you.
00:05:02Sir, there are reporters waiting for you outside.
00:05:07I don't want your money.
00:05:11I don't want your money.
00:05:15I don't want your money.
00:05:19I don't want your money.
00:05:23With the IPO approaching, we can't let the media find out about...
00:05:29...this.
00:05:33What can we do to help us forget about last night? Here.
00:05:40Just let me know what you need.
00:05:42Wait! I don't have anywhere else to go. Is it okay if I stay here?
00:05:48Stay in. Make sure she has everything she needs.
00:05:51You got it, boss.
00:05:58That was easy.
00:06:13Attention, everyone. He's coming.
00:06:19Sir, the HR department has selected a new secretary cap date for you.
00:06:23An Ivy League graduate, great experience, top notch, and she's already waiting for you in your office, sir.
00:06:33Is something wrong, sir?
00:06:35Nothing.
00:06:48Ever.
00:06:56My apologies, Mr. Anderson. I will find someone better.
00:07:05Five minutes, ten seconds, new record.
00:07:08That's the eighth one this month. Scary.
00:07:13Mr. Anderson hates women that throw themselves at him.
00:07:16Can't blame him, though. It must be tough living with that gorgeous face every day.
00:07:28Her scent, so familiar.
00:07:33Who are you?
00:07:37Who are you?
00:07:41I'm sorry, sir.
00:07:46I'm sorry.
00:07:52She's the new intern. I apologize.
00:07:58Mr. Anderson.
00:07:59I'm so sorry, Mr. Anderson. I...
00:08:04She's my new secretary.
00:08:05What? What? But, like, she has, like, no experience.
00:08:10I've made up my mind.
00:08:11Okay.
00:08:13You start tomorrow.
00:08:15Carol, take care of the paperwork.
00:08:20Seriously underqualified.
00:08:22Okay, so you're voluntarily declining a $200,000 salary.
00:08:26Right, I...
00:08:29I'm sorry, did you just say $200,000?
00:08:32Uh-huh.
00:08:34You know, actually, I feel like I'm super qualified.
00:08:38Uh, where do I sign?
00:08:46Jess, you will never believe what happened to me today.
00:08:50I got a promotion from Liam Anderson.
00:08:52I got a huge bonus.
00:08:55Wow.
00:08:56What's this?
00:08:58Uh, Cheryl, I have something to tell you.
00:09:05Tell me.
00:09:06Uh, you know, frankly, I'm just really worried about you.
00:09:10Liam Anderson, you know...
00:09:14He's a huge fuckboy, and he's seen with a different girl almost every night, so...
00:09:21And there's also a rumor that he has STDs.
00:09:23Really? I feel like somebody would have told me that by now.
00:09:26Well, someone actually just posted a review on Glassdoor saying that he harasses female employees.
00:09:33And then, poof, the very next day, the review's gone.
00:09:37You know, you get about as much justice as you can afford, and Liam Anderson can afford plenty.
00:09:42I just... I want you to keep your eyes open around him, okay?
00:09:46Thanks, Jess. I'll keep an eye open.
00:09:55Mr. Anderson, it's Jess. Uh, I finished packing.
00:10:04Finally. I don't need to be your shadow anymore, Cheryl.
00:10:12What?
00:10:23Right this way, ma'am.
00:10:33You're late.
00:10:34What? It's 8.50. Work starts at 9.
00:10:38If you're on time, then you're late.
00:10:40As Mr. Anderson's assistant, you're expected to arrive at least an hour earlier than everyone else.
00:10:46I was told-
00:10:47Mr. Anderson hates it when people are late.
00:10:52Keep this up, and you'll be out of a job.
00:10:59Hey, do you mind helping-
00:11:01Asshole.
00:11:02Asshole.
00:11:09Good morning, Mr. Anderson.
00:11:18Um, I'm sorry for being late today, Mr. Anderson. It won't happen again.
00:11:24I think everyone is entitled to a mistake. A mistake. Singular.
00:11:29Next time it happens, just turn your resignation in to the manager. Save us both the trouble.
00:11:38Did you hear that?
00:11:39What?
00:11:42What are you doing?
00:11:43I saw a mouse.
00:12:00Have you heard? Mr. Anderson has a girlfriend now.
00:12:03You're kidding. For real?
00:12:05Uh-huh. She even moved into his place.
00:12:07That fast? Anyone we know?
00:12:11Asshole.
00:12:13Cheryl, let's go.
00:12:16Uh, where are we going?
00:12:18I didn't tell you? We have a meeting with a client later.
00:12:21It's not on the calendar.
00:12:23We have a meeting with a client later.
00:12:25It's not on the calendar.
00:12:26It is now. Finish your work. Meet me at the restroom.
00:12:30Don't be late!
00:12:41Sorry, I'm almost late. I-
00:12:43Ah! Just on time.
00:12:45Cheryl, here you are. This is Mr. Chevalier.
00:12:48Pleasure to meet you.
00:12:54What's that?
00:12:56It's Lillet blanc.
00:12:58Imported directly from France. Surely you've had it sampled such before?
00:13:03Um, I'm not a huge fan of wine.
00:13:12Go ahead.
00:13:24Have you ever used a fork before?
00:13:27Anderson, your secretary has zero manners.
00:13:30Why in hell would you bring her out in public?
00:13:32She's nothing but a sad and useless pathetic peasant.
00:13:36I am so sorry, sir. I-
00:13:38Mr. Chevalier, apparently uncouth rednecks like myself aren't suited to do business with high and mighty men like you.
00:13:49Cheryl, let's go.
00:13:55Lillet blanc.
00:14:01Anderson, wait. I'm sure we can work something out.
00:14:04Would you please reconsider?
00:14:09Blanc.
00:14:10Blanc.
00:14:11Blanc.
00:14:12Blanc.
00:14:13Blanc.
00:14:14Blanc.
00:14:16Blanc.
00:14:17Hey, Mr. Anderson, are you okay?
00:14:21Why did you stand up for me?
00:14:23Because I care about-
00:14:29Because I care about my employees.
00:14:36Right.
00:14:37Right.
00:14:39And if it wasn't for me keeping you out of trouble, you'd be a terrible representation for this company.
00:14:51What's that for?
00:14:52I thought you needed to throw up more.
00:14:56Water?
00:14:59Let's get you back to your place, sir.
00:15:08That Lillie Blanc's fucking strong.
00:15:10Clearly.
00:15:12You're home early.
00:15:20I have to go, Mr. Anderson.
00:15:33Wait.
00:15:38Don't go.
00:15:40I'm your assistant.
00:16:04What are you doing?
00:16:05Liam, you're drunk. Let's get you to bed.
00:16:09You smell different.
00:16:11New perfume. Do you like it?
00:16:13I hate it. Fucking.
00:16:36Jess?
00:16:37Hey, uh, I'm just wondering, what perfume do you use? You always smell so nice.
00:16:44Um, I don't wear perfume. Maybe it's my body wash?
00:16:48The vanilla one, right?
00:16:50Yeah. Wait, Jess, where are you? You haven't responded to any of my calls or texts.
00:16:55Oh, don't worry about me. I'm doing great. I've just been so, so busy.
00:17:01Oh, one sec. I'm actually getting another call right now.
00:17:04What's that? You need me to handle a million dollar venture?
00:17:07Oh, I can handle that. You can count on me.
00:17:10Okay, Cheryl, I gotta run. Bye-bye.
00:17:12Wait, Jess, can we hang out sometime?
00:17:24Is it?
00:17:25No, it's going on.
00:17:27Tomorrow's going on.
00:17:30Shit.
00:17:40Hey, uh, you wanna join us for happy hour tomorrow?
00:17:43I have plans.
00:17:45Ooh, you got a hot date on Valentine's Day? Lucky girl. Does he have a six-pack?
00:17:53I didn't realize tomorrow's Valentine's Day.
00:17:56Cheryl. My office. Now.
00:18:11Mmm.
00:18:13He's not going to ask me to pay for his medical bills, is he?
00:18:27Cheryl, I need you to have your presentation for the new design launch ready by tomorrow.
00:18:41Tomorrow? I haven't even started my research yet.
00:18:45Are you quitting?
00:18:48Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll have it ready by tomorrow.
00:18:52Wait. Something's been bothering me.
00:18:59Oh no. He recognizes me from that night?
00:19:05I couldn't help but notice...
00:19:08Your shoes.
00:19:10My shoes?
00:19:14Interesting design.
00:19:16Um, I'll have them replaced by tomorrow.
00:19:18Do you have plans after work?
00:19:21Wait, is he asking me for a date?
00:19:38Mr. Anderson!
00:19:41Welcome! Can I help you find anything?
00:19:44I'm looking for a Valentine's Day gift.
00:19:47Of course!
00:19:49A gift. For Mrs. Anderson.
00:19:52Please take a look at these. They're the newest design by our top designer.
00:19:57I think there's a misunderstanding.
00:19:59Just try them on. I just want to see them.
00:20:06Here.
00:20:16My goodness. They look gorgeous on you, ma'am.
00:20:19What do you think, Mr. Anderson?
00:20:21I'll take them.
00:20:26$8,000? That's more than half a year's worth of rent.
00:20:31Those seem like they are more in my price range.
00:20:39Never mind.
00:20:41I'll take those too.
00:20:48Rich people these days.
00:21:01Well, if there's nothing else you need, Mr. Anderson, I'll see you tomorrow at work.
00:21:05Wait.
00:21:08These are for you.
00:21:15I can't accept these.
00:21:17Take them.
00:21:19You're going to be going on a lot of meetings with me.
00:21:21You need to represent the company.
00:21:30You're welcome.
00:21:46So much.
00:21:55They'll look great on you.
00:21:57Um, these aren't going to come out of my paycheck, are they?
00:22:00If you keep asking me questions like that, that's exactly what's going to happen.
00:22:07Cheryl!
00:22:09What a coincidence.
00:22:11Ben!
00:22:16Hi.
00:22:20I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were busy.
00:22:23Oh, no, I'm not. I guess I'm kind of working.
00:22:26This is my boss, Liam Anderson.
00:22:28Mr. Anderson, this is my best friend, Ben.
00:22:30Nice to meet you, sir.
00:22:31Likewise.
00:22:32That's a very firm handshake.
00:22:35Cheryl, can I have a word with you?
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:43I thought you were going to go to the concert with Jess tonight.
00:22:46Oh, she hasn't been responding to any of my calls.
00:22:50Don't worry. I'll give her a few more calls, I promise.
00:22:52You'll get to see her in a couple of days.
00:22:54What are you doing here?
00:22:56Well, I just bought these and I was planning on dropping them off at your house.
00:23:01But since I ran into you here, here they are.
00:23:05Surprise.
00:23:07Ben, I love them.
00:23:12Oh, Mr. Anderson, you're still here.
00:23:15I expect to see your presentation tomorrow.
00:23:18Shit. Okay, I have to go, Ben.
00:23:21I hope you get a better boss than me.
00:23:23Thank you for the gifts.
00:23:26Wait.
00:23:28I'll give you a ride.
00:23:30Right, Ben?
00:23:40Yeah.
00:23:41Alright.
00:23:42So, um, oh my god.
00:23:44Do you think that's a celebrity? She's wearing sunglasses at night.
00:23:47Why would a celebrity be here?
00:23:50Gosh, she looks just like the woman your boss would hate the most.
00:23:56She's coming this way.
00:24:01Oh, uh, sorry.
00:24:03The table has been taken.
00:24:08Jess?
00:24:09Long time no see, my friends.
00:24:13Wow.
00:24:14Jay, you look great.
00:24:17Oh, come on.
00:24:18Don't tell me you didn't recognize me.
00:24:20Are you kidding?
00:24:21I was blown away.
00:24:24Yeah, Jay, you've changed a lot.
00:24:27Yes, well, you could say I figured out how to, uh, live in the moment.
00:24:33Uh, so what kind of work have you been up to?
00:24:36I heard you were working on some million dollar deal.
00:24:39I heard you were working on some million dollar deal.
00:24:41Oh.
00:24:42Um, well, let's just say I found a really amazing investment opportunity.
00:24:48And, uh, they say I have great business sense.
00:24:53Are you sure they're legit?
00:24:55You should be careful.
00:24:57There's a lot of pig-butchering scammers out there.
00:25:00Did you just call me a pig?
00:25:02No, no, no.
00:25:03That's not what I meant at all.
00:25:05Oh.
00:25:07I see.
00:25:09You're just jealous that I'm no longer stuck in your shadow.
00:25:14No, Cheryl is just worried about you.
00:25:17And you always take her side.
00:25:21Make me feel like I'm the third wheel.
00:25:24Um, why didn't you tell us you got a new boyfriend?
00:25:27Who told you I have a boyfriend?
00:25:32This is your account, isn't it?
00:25:36Okay, so what?
00:25:38I can't have a rich boyfriend buy me nice things?
00:25:40No, that's not what I'm saying.
00:25:42I mean, I'm just worried you're getting scams, okay?
00:25:45We're just looking out for you.
00:25:46Yeah, we're just worried about...
00:25:48I mean, can we maybe meet him?
00:25:51Oh.
00:25:52Okay, I see what's going on here.
00:25:55You think because I'm just some poor waitress, I can't have a rich boyfriend and a proper job, huh?
00:25:59Is that it?
00:26:00No, that's not what I mean at all, okay?
00:26:02We've been friends for years.
00:26:03We're just looking out for you.
00:26:05Yeah, let's just sit down, talk it through.
00:26:08There's nothing to talk about, okay?
00:26:12Look, guys.
00:26:14Here's all the money I owe you from the years, okay?
00:26:20Now we're even.
00:26:24Jess.
00:26:29Wait, where are you going?
00:26:31Let's go after her, okay?
00:26:34She's probably getting scammed.
00:26:47She unfollowed me on Instagram.
00:26:50Hey, hey.
00:26:51Maybe she's just upset.
00:26:52Let's give her some time to cool off, okay?
00:26:56But abandoning us like that?
00:26:59That's betrayal.
00:27:01Did I do something wrong?
00:27:06Wait.
00:27:08I know this neighborhood.
00:27:10My boss lives around here.
00:27:13Oh my god.
00:27:14Maybe she isn't lying.
00:27:16Get on it, then.
00:27:17On it.
00:27:21What was that?
00:27:32Shit, we lost her.
00:27:36Get back in the car.
00:27:37I'll have to call a tow truck.
00:27:39What's up?
00:27:49What the heck?
00:27:51Yeah, I've heard this is a popular make-out point.
00:27:56Wait, is that Cheryl?
00:27:59There's a problem with the product launch.
00:28:01I need to get Cheryl to my house to fix it now.
00:28:03At this hour?
00:28:23No more distractions.
00:28:26Liam, babe.
00:28:28Tonight, you'll be entirely mine.
00:28:51Heartless workaholic, making me work overtime again.
00:29:10So this is Mr. Anderson's type?
00:29:15I'm so sorry, miss.
00:29:16I will leave right now.
00:29:22Where do you think you're going?
00:29:26Don't you have plans with your girlfriend?
00:29:28My only plans tonight are to figure out whether I hired an incompetent secretary and if I need to fix it.
00:29:34But your girlfriend.
00:29:36What are you talking about?
00:29:39Fine.
00:29:40What do you not like about my work?
00:29:42Do you need me to redo my designs?
00:29:44Do you need me to teach you how to do your job?
00:29:46Just redo it.
00:29:48As you wish.
00:29:49What?
00:29:50I mess up your plans for a romantic evening.
00:29:53What are you talking about?
00:29:54Don't play dumb with me.
00:29:56You're not leaving here until you finish it.
00:30:00Oh no.
00:30:14Honestly, I had no idea you had such a wild side, Cheryl.
00:30:17Makes me wonder what you're like in private.
00:30:19Oh no.
00:30:20He must know I'm the girl who slept with him that night.
00:30:26Sometimes when I drink too much, I make bad decisions.
00:30:31Is that your excuse for sneaking around and making out?
00:30:35Huh?
00:30:36I'm sorry for the interruption, Mr. Anderson, but Miss Brown is sick.
00:30:46Wait right here.
00:30:53Miss Brown is experiencing common stomach pain.
00:30:56I've prescribed some medication for her.
00:31:00She'll be fine.
00:31:05You should get some rest.
00:31:08Liam, wait.
00:31:11Could you stay with me tonight?
00:31:14Listen.
00:31:16The only reason I let you stay with me is because you said you had nowhere else to go.
00:31:20If that's not good enough, you can take the million dollar offer and leave.
00:31:26Mr. Anderson, Miss Davis left.
00:31:36Cheryl, if I can't have him, then neither can you.
00:31:46Oh. My. God.
00:31:50Oh, this is stunning.
00:31:53Oh, it must have cost a fortune.
00:31:56Oh, I have to show everyone.
00:31:58Oh my god.
00:31:59Not for Mr. Anderson.
00:32:02Oh.
00:32:04And, um, here's a little something from me.
00:32:09Cheryl.
00:32:11It's nothing.
00:32:13Oh my gosh, you shouldn't have.
00:32:18Wow, this is very thoughtful of you.
00:32:22Of course.
00:32:24Ma'am, you are the future of Mrs. Anderson, okay?
00:32:30And if there is anything that I can do for you, just let me know.
00:32:36Well, you know, there's this girl Cheryl that works at the company.
00:32:44What about her?
00:32:52She's been flirting with Liam a lot recently, and I don't know, I think it's starting to become a problem.
00:33:01Oh yeah. Don't worry, ma'am. I'll make sure that Cheryl knows her place.
00:33:25Take a look at these.
00:33:33My apologies, Mr. Anderson. I did not manage my team properly.
00:33:40Why are you still standing here?
00:33:44Redo it. Now.
00:33:46I think you're misunderstanding.
00:33:49Cheryl did a great job.
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:06Listen up, everyone.
00:34:09This launch will directly affect our upcoming IPO.
00:34:14So, everything needs to be perfect.
00:34:18And I will be modeling and presenting our new design.
00:34:23Andy, are the shoes ready?
00:34:25All set, Carol.
00:34:27Good. Okay.
00:34:29So.
00:34:32Hey, Carol, are you okay?
00:34:34I can't.
00:34:35You're having an allergic reaction.
00:34:37What did you eat this morning?
00:34:39Just the coffee. Cheryl brought me.
00:34:46Hazelnuts? Latte?
00:34:48Carol is allergic to hazelnuts.
00:34:51I just got what she ordered. I didn't know.
00:34:53Cheryl, I specifically asked you to get me a regular latte. You must have misheard me.
00:34:59Guys, what's going on?
00:35:01Our biggest shareholders are waiting.
00:35:03Mr. Anderson, there's been an accident.
00:35:06Cheryl gave Carol a hazelnut latte, and she's allergic.
00:35:12It's my fault, sir. I should have read the label before drinking.
00:35:17It's okay. Get some rest. We'll figure it out.
00:35:20Who are we going to find to replace Carol?
00:35:24It's time.
00:35:26Okay, the Crystal Custom shoes are a size 5. There's very few people that could fit into them.
00:35:33I'm a size 5. I could try.
00:35:38Cheryl, are you sure?
00:35:40No, but I'll give my best.
00:35:45Good. Mia, get her in hair and makeup. Have her ready for the stage.
00:35:48Yes, sir.
00:36:10Sir, I feel much better now. I can go up and host.
00:36:22Let's give her some more time.
00:36:24Good afternoon, everyone.
00:36:39Cheryl, are you sure?
00:36:43No, but I'll give my best.
00:36:47Good. Mia, get her in hair and makeup. Have her ready for the stage.
00:36:54Good afternoon, everyone.
00:37:07My name is Cheryl, and I'll be your host.
00:37:09Now let's begin.
00:37:16Shit.
00:37:23Today I will be sharing our newest shoe line, the Crystal Collection.
00:37:29Our team has been working really hard on it to create a great shoe for the modern day women.
00:37:36We aim to use eco-friendly materials that make it comfortable and that will allow you to do all those things and maybe run a few miles, too.
00:37:49And thank you all for being here today.
00:38:03You did so well. You saved the day.
00:38:08You look stunning.
00:38:10You should dress like this more often.
00:38:12Maybe I will.
00:38:23I'd like to make a toast to Cheryl.
00:38:27You did an outstanding job today.
00:38:32On behalf of the company, I'm going to give you a new sports car.
00:38:37And a raise for everybody else in there.
00:38:48That's a good raise.
00:38:50This is actually pretty good.
00:39:05And then I just went for it.
00:39:07I mean, you should have seen their faces.
00:39:10Girl, you're crazy.
00:39:12In a good way, though.
00:39:14Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.
00:39:28You are drunk.
00:39:30No, but you are swaying back and forth, making me dizzy.
00:39:38Let me take you home.
00:39:39No, I haven't had enough fun yet.
00:39:42Cheryl, you are too drunk to be wandering around here.
00:39:46Don't be a buzzkill.
00:39:49I know it will shut you up.
00:40:01Let me take you home.
00:40:03I'm fine.
00:40:14I wish it were you.
00:40:19I've had a crush on you for the longest time.
00:40:27You've got to be kidding me.
00:40:37Do you like what you see?
00:40:39Yes.
00:40:41I mean, no, sorry, I totally spaced in the morning.
00:40:45Oh, really?
00:40:48So, you don't remember what happened last night?
00:40:52No, what happened last night?
00:40:54Don't pretend like you forgot.
00:40:57You know, Mr. Anderson, I completely forgot, so can we just pretend nothing happened?
00:41:04Oh, no.
00:41:07Do you know how much psychological trauma you've caused me?
00:41:11Oh, no.
00:41:18Oh, my God.
00:41:21Oh, thank God.
00:41:23Huh?
00:41:24I'll buy you a new one.
00:41:26How much is it?
00:41:28$2,000.
00:41:30Cash only, please.
00:41:32You know, you'll just clean it.
00:41:35I'll make it look brand new.
00:41:36What time is it?
00:41:38Shit, I have to go to work.
00:41:40Just wait.
00:41:41We'll go together.
00:41:43Great.
00:41:44You forgot your shoes.
00:41:54Did you see?
00:41:55Mr. Anderson and Cheryl came in together today.
00:41:58Yeah, well, you think they're, uh, you know.
00:42:01Something's definitely going on there.
00:42:15Hey, guys, I just stopped by my dad's restaurant and picked up some of his famous fried chicken.
00:42:20Please, try some.
00:42:24Hey, Cheryl, Tom brought some fried chicken. You want some?
00:42:33Is it really that bad?
00:42:35No, uh, greasy food has just made me nauseous lately.
00:42:39You're not pregnant, are you?
00:42:41No.
00:42:43Oh, shit.
00:42:46You did go out with your boyfriend on Valentine's Day, and things seem to be going pretty well.
00:42:53Ooh, are you ready to be a mom?
00:42:57You might have gotten yourself knocked up.
00:43:00Come on, guys.
00:43:01Who knows? Maybe we'll be planning a baby shower soon.
00:43:06No, no.
00:43:10Everyone off the clock? Didn't tell me.
00:43:16If you're feeling sick, take the day.
00:43:19Thank you, sir.
00:43:21Send Cheryl to my office, please.
00:43:24Yes, sir.
00:43:31My period has never been this late. Could I actually be pregnant?
00:43:45You wanted to see me, sir?
00:43:47Carol, how long have you worked for me?
00:43:50Since you started the company, sir.
00:43:56So you know me very well. You know I don't like when people act stupid.
00:44:01So why would you deliberately sabotage Cheryl at the launch?
00:44:06I... I don't know what you're talking about. I...
00:44:09You know exactly what I mean.
00:44:12Take this as your final warning.
00:44:15Yes, of course, sir. I'm so sorry. It won't happen again.
00:44:19You can go.
00:44:32That shameless homewrecker. She'll pay for this.
00:44:43I'm pregnant with Liam's child?
00:44:51I'm sorry that I didn't realize right away it was mine, but the doctor said it was 100%.
00:44:58So the push-pression is coming. What would you like, the Mercedes or the Benz?
00:45:02Well, because you questioned me.
00:45:07Hey.
00:45:10I tried to call. You didn't answer.
00:45:13Everything alright?
00:45:16What are you doing here?
00:45:18I had a meeting close by. Just stopping by.
00:45:23You feeling better?
00:45:26Is everything alright?
00:45:28I'm fine. Just a stomach bug.
00:45:32Can I take you home?
00:45:34Sure.
00:45:40Thanks for the ride home, Mr. Anderson.
00:45:43Want me to help you up?
00:45:45No, I'm good.
00:46:10Ben? What are you doing here?
00:46:12Hi. I'm sorry. I just heard you weren't feeling well.
00:46:16I just thought to stop by and make you some dinner. Just take a seat.
00:46:19I'll be ready in a moment.
00:46:26Wait, God. Traveling family?
00:46:29Yeah.
00:46:31I'm so sorry.
00:46:34We got truffle-infused mac and cheese,
00:46:38creamy lobster bisque,
00:46:42and some fresh Mediterranean salad.
00:46:45Bon appétit.
00:46:46This looks amazing.
00:46:49Cheryl, are you seeing someone?
00:46:53No. Why would you say that?
00:46:56Oh, just... I saw, like, a man dropping you off.
00:47:00Oh. That was my boss, Mr. Anderson. You've met him.
00:47:03Oh. Okay.
00:47:07Hey. Are you okay?
00:47:10Yeah. I'm just... I don't feel very well.
00:47:13Let me just grab you some water.
00:47:31Ben, there's something I need to tell you.
00:47:33Oh.
00:47:38Actually, Cheryl, there's something I wanted to talk to you about tonight.
00:47:45Cheryl Davis,
00:47:48will you marry me?
00:48:01I've been thinking about it for a while,
00:48:05and I just had to tell you,
00:48:07otherwise I would have regretted it forever.
00:48:09I love you.
00:48:11I'm pregnant.
00:48:13What?
00:48:17Boyfriend, right?
00:48:19No. It was a one-night stand.
00:48:22What are you going to do?
00:48:24I mean, does the father know?
00:48:27No. I'm not going to tell him.
00:48:29I'm going to keep the baby.
00:48:32Have you told Jess yet?
00:48:34No. I will.
00:48:36She did save my life.
00:48:42Oh, my God. What happened?
00:48:44Open the windows. Now.
00:48:50She passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning in the shower.
00:48:54She passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning in the shower.
00:48:58But she'll be all right.
00:49:01Oh, Jess, can you do me a favor?
00:49:05When Cheryl wakes up, can you tell her that you saved her?
00:49:08Why?
00:49:12It's just, she was completely naked in there, you know, showering.
00:49:16I just don't want her to feel weird around me.
00:49:21Sure.
00:49:27I respect your choice.
00:49:30Just let me help you with the baby.
00:49:34Please, Cheryl, don't feel obligated.
00:49:39It's just, give me a chance to help you and the baby.
00:49:45Hey, Ben, what's up?
00:49:50She's pregnant.
00:49:54That's great. Yeah.
00:49:59No, I'll be sure to take good care of her.
00:50:03Don't you worry.
00:50:05Okay, I gotta run.
00:50:09Ms. Brown, is everything all right?
00:50:13Yeah.
00:50:15Yep.
00:50:17Now, where were we?
00:50:19Okay, so I will arrange for Cheryl to go on a business trip to San Francisco
00:50:24and deal with our most difficult client.
00:50:32Good.
00:50:35Good.
00:50:37And let's make sure she has some extra fun on this trip.
00:50:50Sending employees on company trips right after their leave. Really nice.
00:50:56Really nice.
00:51:03Well.
00:51:19Boss?
00:51:21Hope you're feeling better. Are you going to the office today?
00:51:25What? I'm on the business trip to San Francisco.
00:51:28What? Who assigned you that?
00:51:31You, I thought.
00:51:33Just stay there. I'll be right over.
00:51:35Oh, you don't have to. I...
00:51:37Hello? Hello?
00:51:45Cheryl must have made a mistake, but it's better for you to learn anyway.
00:51:50Those clients are pretty important.
00:51:54Your little date with your boyfriend didn't go so well? You seem tense.
00:52:00It's none of your business.
00:52:03Um, can you pull over the car?
00:52:18Here, for you.
00:52:20Thank you. That's so nice of you.
00:52:22I went through the same thing when I was pregnant. It's normal. You'll pass it.
00:52:28She's not pre...
00:52:34So, what do you think about kids?
00:52:40I think kids are the worst return on investment in the world.
00:52:46So, absolutely no.
00:52:49What if you had a kid and you didn't know about it?
00:52:51I'd never let that happen.
00:52:53But what if a kid showed up at your door and called you dad?
00:52:57I still wouldn't accept it, even if that happened.
00:53:03I'll be with you.
00:53:15Did I say something wrong?
00:53:18Of course not, Mr. Always Right.
00:53:23Whoa, that was a red light, Liam!
00:53:25The brakes aren't working. Hold on!
00:53:28I'm pregnant with your child, Liam!
00:53:32Liam?
00:53:43Liam? Hey! Hey! Hey, Liam, you need to wake up!
00:53:47Liam, Liam, Liam, please wake up, please wake up, okay?
00:53:49I'm pregnant with your child, I need you to wake up!
00:53:53I'm so sorry.
00:53:56We did everything we could, but he didn't make it.
00:54:02Liam, Liam, Liam, no, no, no, you need to wake up, please, Liam, wake up!
00:54:06Cheryl.
00:54:09What are you doing here?
00:54:12Oh, my God.
00:54:15I'm so sorry.
00:54:19Oh, my God.
00:54:22You're alive.
00:54:24Are you okay? Did you get your head?
00:54:26The doctor said that you...
00:54:28Mr. Thompson, are you pranking people again?
00:54:30Sorry, did he say something to you? He has Alzheimer's.
00:54:36Then whose body is this?
00:54:42Oh, great, he brought a teaching dummy again.
00:54:45Oh, my God.
00:55:04Can I ask you something? Yeah.
00:55:07Why did you turn into that tree?
00:55:10It's a natural reaction.
00:55:12Don't think too much into it.
00:55:14If you hadn't, I... I could have died.
00:55:18You saved my life. Thank you.
00:55:21And our baby's life, too.
00:55:26Sorry to interrupt, need to check patient's vital signs.
00:55:43What?
00:55:46That slut should be dead already.
00:55:49You've disappointed me once again.
00:55:52I guess I'm just going to have to take matters into my own hands.
00:56:13I'm sorry.
00:56:15I'm sorry.
00:56:17I'm sorry.
00:56:19I'm sorry.
00:56:21I'm sorry.
00:56:23I'm sorry.
00:56:25I'm sorry.
00:56:27I'm sorry.
00:56:29I'm sorry.
00:56:31I'm sorry.
00:56:33I'm sorry.
00:56:35I'm sorry.
00:56:37I'm sorry.
00:56:40Cheryl, you are completely helpless.
00:56:55If only it had been you that night.
00:57:10Jess?
00:57:12Cheryl! Oh, thank God.
00:57:14I heard about the accident.
00:57:16Are you okay?
00:57:18Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
00:57:21That's great.
00:57:23I thought you could use a little help, so I came over as soon as possible.
00:57:27You're in San Francisco?
00:57:29Yep.
00:57:31And I can see you now.
00:57:35Hey.
00:57:37Doing okay?
00:57:39Fine.
00:57:41Here, take these.
00:57:43A little get well soon gift.
00:57:45Thanks.
00:57:49So Ben told me about the pregnancy.
00:57:54Is the baby okay?
00:57:57Ben, I don't know.
00:58:00Is the baby okay?
00:58:03Ben, I'm sorry I was going to tell you when the timing was right, but the baby and I are both okay.
00:58:10Have you talked to the father yet?
00:58:15No.
00:58:17Cheryl, babe, I'm worried about you.
00:58:20Having a baby is a huge responsibility, okay?
00:58:23Especially by yourself.
00:58:25Have you considered all your options?
00:58:30No, I'm keeping the baby.
00:58:32Okay.
00:58:33Okay. I just wanted to be sure.
00:58:36And look, okay, if you need anything, I'm here for you, okay?
00:58:42You can count on me.
00:58:43Thanks, Jay. That really means a lot.
00:58:51Sir, everything has been running smoothly while you've been in the hospital.
00:58:54There are some overseas matters that need your approval.
00:58:57Okay.
00:59:09What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:59:11You. My office. Now.
00:59:18What's wrong?
00:59:20Care to explain this?
00:59:24This is a personal matter, sir.
00:59:27Is it Ben's?
00:59:29Mr. Anderson, this is not your place.
00:59:31So it is.
00:59:32No, it's not, and this is none of your business.
00:59:35Is there someone else?
00:59:37Then who's the father?
00:59:43I quit.
00:59:45Effective immediately.
00:59:55Ms. Brown, you're not going to believe this.
01:00:03We'll talk soon.
01:00:15Now let the real show begin.
01:00:25Long day, baby?
01:00:27I drew you a bath.
01:00:29Here, why don't I help you relax?
01:00:31Leave it alone.
01:00:40You alright?
01:00:42I have good news.
01:00:45I'm pregnant.
01:00:47What?
01:00:50I have good news.
01:00:53I'm pregnant.
01:01:01Ms. Brown is indeed pregnant.
01:01:03Congratulations.
01:01:11You should get some rest.
01:01:13It's been a tough day.
01:01:16Ma'am, wait.
01:01:19Would you stay with me tonight?
01:01:21For the baby's sake.
01:01:23Hello?
01:01:41Hello?
01:01:47Sue?
01:01:50Oh, sorry.
01:01:52I should go.
01:01:57What happened to your arm?
01:01:59Oh, uh, it's nothing.
01:02:01I was just, uh, in the garden.
01:02:03Picking some strawberries for a pregnancy-safe smoothie bowl.
01:02:07And, uh, got a little careless with the branches.
01:02:10Let the housekeeper take care of that.
01:02:12I know, I just, I really wanted to do it myself.
01:02:16This breakfast is special.
01:02:18It's for the baby.
01:02:20I'll be more careful next time.
01:02:27Liam?
01:02:29Could you do me a favor?
01:02:31Do you think you could take me shopping today?
01:02:34I want to pick up some baby essentials.
01:02:37Sure.
01:02:40Uh...
01:02:45It's, um...
01:02:47It's Liam's.
01:02:49The father of your child is Liam Anderson.
01:02:52Hey, shh.
01:02:55Are you going to tell him the truth?
01:02:57I don't know.
01:03:02You know what?
01:03:04How about we go shopping for some baby stuff?
01:03:06To take your mind off things for a bit.
01:03:09That sounds good.
01:03:26Sure.
01:03:28I've already made a detailed shopping list for the baby.
01:03:32You just go ahead into the store.
01:03:34I'll park and join you in a minute, okay?
01:03:36So nice of you.
01:03:49Thank you for taking me shopping today.
01:03:52See, I knew you weren't so heartless.
01:03:54I need to go to the bathroom.
01:04:04Jess?
01:04:06Cheryl?
01:04:09What are you doing here?
01:04:11I...
01:04:13I also need to...
01:04:20So you've been Liam's girlfriend this whole entire time and you didn't tell me?
01:04:26So you've been Liam's girlfriend this whole entire time and you didn't tell me?
01:04:30Look, I planned on telling you everything after we got married.
01:04:34It's just been so awkward with Liam being your boss, but...
01:04:38He said that he loves me and we're going to move in together.
01:04:42Just please, can you give us your blessing?
01:04:47Is this why you wanted me to get rid of the baby?
01:04:50No, Cheryl.
01:04:52Please.
01:04:53I'm begging you, okay?
01:04:56Just let me and Liam be happy.
01:04:59Okay, please?
01:05:00You have your whole life ahead of you, but me?
01:05:04He's all that I have left.
01:05:07Please.
01:05:09I need to go.
01:05:23Cheryl?
01:05:24Cheryl!
01:05:25Cheryl, you okay?
01:05:29Cheryl?
01:05:35Cheryl, please wake up.
01:05:37Please.
01:05:38I'm sorry, we won't fight again.
01:05:40I don't care whose child it is.
01:05:42Please wake up, Cheryl.
01:05:44Drive faster.
01:05:46Faster!
01:05:49How is she, Doctor?
01:05:51Is she okay?
01:05:52Mrs. Davis is stable now.
01:05:54Oh, thank God.
01:05:55She's awake now, but you need to be careful and not upset her.
01:05:58Yes, Doctor.
01:05:59She needs to stay calm.
01:06:01Yes.
01:06:07How do you feel?
01:06:09Cheryl, I'm...
01:06:11I don't know.
01:06:14How do you feel?
01:06:16Cheryl, I'm sorry that I lost my temper.
01:06:20I shouldn't have.
01:06:22No matter whose baby you're carrying, I'll...
01:06:24How do you know Jess?
01:06:29You two know each other?
01:06:32On New Year's Eve, we had a one-night stand.
01:06:36On New Year's Eve?
01:06:37Yeah, but it was just a one-time thing, but...
01:06:42I did get her pregnant, and she said she had nowhere to go, so I let her move in with me.
01:06:48Are you sure it was her that night?
01:06:51Yeah, I mean, we woke up in the same bed.
01:06:54I can't deny that.
01:07:01Cheryl, after all this time we spent together...
01:07:07I think I'm falling in love with you.
01:07:12Asshole!
01:07:17Hey, stop! Both of you!
01:07:19You piece of shit!
01:07:21It's not enough that Cheryl's pregnant with your baby now, Jess, too?
01:07:24If Cheryl wasn't stopping me, I'd kill you myself!
01:07:27What?
01:07:30Cheryl?
01:07:32Pregnant with my child?
01:07:34But we've never even slept together.
01:07:36I was the person you knew had a one-night stand with on New Year's Eve.
01:07:40But I woke up in the bed with Jess.
01:07:43Jess was manipulating us both.
01:07:48I don't get it. She used to be my best friend.
01:07:51She even saved my life.
01:07:53Cheryl, the person who saved you five years ago wasn't Jess.
01:07:58What?
01:08:01I'm the one who actually rescued you, not Jess.
01:08:05I was just worried that you'd feel weird that I saw you naked,
01:08:08and I asked Jess to tell you that it was her.
01:08:12I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel weird, but I...
01:08:15No, Ben, it's not your fault.
01:08:23I guess Jess never really was my friend.
01:08:29I guess she's been doing things behind our back, too.
01:08:33Do you think she was behind the brake failure?
01:08:36I know I had the car checked. Everything was fine before I gave it to you.
01:08:40But how did she know I was going on a business trip?
01:08:44Cheryl.
01:08:47But then, who's the father of Jess' baby?
01:08:56Stan, get that guy.
01:09:00Hey, what's going on?
01:09:05Tell us the truth, or I'll make sure that you lose your medical license.
01:09:17I'm sorry, Ms. Hennison. I lied about Ms. Brown's pregnancy.
01:09:22She paid me to take the test.
01:09:26What?
01:09:28So she was never pregnant.
01:09:30It was a lie?
01:09:32Yes. I know it was wrong, but she offered me a lot of money.
01:09:42It's Jess.
01:09:44Answer it.
01:09:45What's in this?
01:09:48Hello?
01:09:52I don't know. Maybe I should call him.
01:09:59Hey, Liam. How's Cheryl doing?
01:10:04Oh, I see.
01:10:08That's great. I'm glad the baby's okay.
01:10:14When are you going to come pick me up?
01:10:18I... I don't see you anywhere.
01:10:23Wait a second. Do you have eyes or not?
01:10:29Hey, the two of you! Stop! Stop right there! Stop!
01:10:41Hey, boss. I updated your schedule for today.
01:10:47Don't your feet hurt? You know you can wear whatever you want now.
01:10:52I got your favorite.
01:10:55Double shot.
01:10:57Huh. I guess maybe I'm the boss now.
01:11:01Yes, ma'am.
