Escorting the Heiress Completed
Transcript
00:00:00Did you get me an escort?
00:00:13Enjoy.
00:00:14Two grand should be enough, right?
00:00:17And, uh, keep the change, sir.
00:00:21I know it's been five years, but does she really not remember me?
00:00:25She's not just a random girl.
00:00:27Her name is Serena Monroe, and she thinks that my family killed her mother.
00:00:30Before she sees me as the Jesse Ross, I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:00:36Miss Monroe, why didn't you tell me that your husband was, um, so handsome?
00:00:42Where do you live?
00:00:45Fuck, I just pulled over from some random neighborhood.
00:00:48I don't actually live here.
00:00:50What the fuck is going on?
00:00:52Jesse Ross.
00:00:53How do you always end up being at the right place at the right time?
00:00:56Because I only do it when I like it.
00:01:00Are there any other secrets you're hiding from me, Jesse Ross?
00:01:04I guess we'll find out.
00:01:27Thank you so much.
00:01:30Okay, bye-bye.
00:01:32Hi.
00:01:33I'm looking for my fiancé.
00:01:34His name's Ken Snyder.
00:01:36What room is he in?
00:01:37Oh, I'm sorry, miss.
00:01:38I can't provide the information of our guest, even if he is your fiancé.
00:01:43Listen, I know for a fact that he's upstairs screwing another woman.
00:01:48I'm gonna tell you something else.
00:01:50That woman is probably my half-sister.
00:01:52I'm supposed to get married to him next week,
00:01:54and we haven't even had sex because he said that he's saving himself for marriage.
00:01:58Now, I need concrete evidence that this asshole is cheating on me, so...
00:02:02What do you say?
00:02:03Can you help a sister out?
00:02:07You didn't get this from me.
00:02:09Of course not.
00:02:10Come on.
00:02:14Oh, man.
00:02:16Wish I could go with her.
00:02:23I'm coming.
00:02:24Okay.
00:02:30Oh, my God, baby.
00:02:32That was so good.
00:02:34Oh, my gosh.
00:02:35But it just makes me even more pissed knowing that you're getting married to Serena next week.
00:02:39I really can't stand the thought of you having sex with her.
00:02:42How are you gonna get over fucking her now?
00:02:44I know, sweetheart.
00:02:45But I'm doing this for us.
00:02:47Serena's mother stated in her will that she has to be married by 28 to take over the company.
00:02:53She's turning 28 in a week.
00:02:55This is just temporary.
00:02:57Once I take her company, I'll divorce her.
00:03:00Then you and I can be together.
00:03:02You promise?
00:03:03I promise you.
00:03:05I won't touch her.
00:03:06I'll just tell her I can't get it up with some girl.
00:03:11Be proud of me.
00:03:14You two are disgusting.
00:03:17Here, take a shower.
00:03:19What the fuck, Serena?
00:03:21What the hell are you doing here?
00:03:23You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiancé?
00:03:26Really, Carol?
00:03:27You're asking me that after I catch you in bed with my fiancé?
00:03:30And Ken, my sister?
00:03:32Get off your high horse, Serena.
00:03:34Your father arranged our engagement so you can keep your mother's company.
00:03:37It's not like we're in love.
00:03:38That may be true, but I did trust you.
00:03:40I'm not marrying a cheater.
00:03:42The engagement is off.
00:03:44Good luck finding a husband in less than a week.
00:03:46You can say goodbye to your company.
00:03:49What the fuck, Serena?
00:03:51I'm never letting go of my mother's company.
00:03:54Ever.
00:03:55Test me again, and you'll see what I'm capable of.
00:04:02That bitch.
00:04:08Lynn, could you meet me at the Ross Hotel bar?
00:04:11Now.
00:04:14And then he has the audacity to tell me I'm a boner, too.
00:04:18Okay, Serena, I get it.
00:04:20You got cheated on.
00:04:21But honestly, drinking is not going to help.
00:04:24Something else will.
00:04:26What are you talking about, Lynn?
00:04:28I got you a surprise.
00:04:30It's waiting for you in room 1011.
00:04:32Or should I say, he is.
00:04:36Did you get me an escort?
00:04:39Did you get me an escort?
00:04:46Did you get me an escort?
00:04:49Lynn, I don't need an escort.
00:04:52What I need right now is to find a way that I'm going to get married in a week
00:04:56so I can take over my mother's company.
00:04:57Come on, Serena, you're too stressed.
00:04:59You need to let loose, have some fun first.
00:05:03I think our ideas of fun don't align.
00:05:07Just go, have some fun with him, and relax.
00:05:10In 1011, trust me.
00:05:12Go, go.
00:05:17This is crazy.
00:05:18Not when you get there.
00:05:20He'll be waiting for you.
00:05:22Check out his at 11am.
00:05:24Enjoy.
00:05:28This is fucking crazy.
00:05:37What?
00:05:45It's you.
00:05:52What's your name again?
00:05:56It's you.
00:05:57Wow.
00:05:58Where did Lynn find you?
00:06:07How did you find me?
00:06:09I didn't find you.
00:06:10Lynn did.
00:06:16Hello?
00:06:17You there yet?
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19And he is super hot.
00:06:22Thank you, bestie.
00:06:24Have fun.
00:06:27How did you even...
00:06:28Shh.
00:06:29Just...
00:06:30I'm not talking.
00:06:31Let's just enjoy each other's company tonight.
00:06:38Okay.
00:06:44Hello?
00:06:45What do you mean, no show?
00:06:46She said she was there already.
00:06:47Well, I've been here for 30 minutes and no one is here.
00:06:50I'm leaving.
00:06:51I'm charging you a $500 cancellation fee.
00:06:53Goodbye.
00:06:55Hello?
00:06:57If she's not there, then where the hell is she?
00:07:00Okay, one second.
00:07:07Okay.
00:07:30God, what happened last night?
00:07:37I don't know.
00:08:02I have to get out of here.
00:08:04Leaving without telling me your name again?
00:08:09Again?
00:08:11Again?
00:08:13Um...
00:08:14I've never actually done this before.
00:08:17I know it's been five years, but does she really not remember me?
00:08:22Your pocket's pretty...
00:08:23Alright, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
00:08:28Your phone, too.
00:08:30Your jacket.
00:08:31That's real nice.
00:08:32I want that, too.
00:08:34Really?
00:08:46I'm sorry.
00:08:47Oh.
00:08:48Ouch.
00:08:49You got jumped on.
00:08:50Yeah.
00:08:52Was it because you were wearing expensive clothes?
00:08:54No, I can't.
00:08:55Just take it.
00:08:56My friend's around the corner.
00:09:03Oh, and next time you're in the neighborhood,
00:09:05don't wear nice stuff.
00:09:06You're gonna get targeted.
00:09:08Hey!
00:09:09What's your name again?
00:09:17Thank you for a lovely night,
00:09:19and I'll see you next time.
00:09:21Thank you for a lovely night,
00:09:23and I should be going.
00:09:27Wow, it really is you.
00:09:30Smile for the camera, sis.
00:09:34Smile for the camera, sis.
00:09:37I heard you were drinking yourself to death at the bar downstairs.
00:09:41Looks like you had some fun.
00:09:43I can already see the headlines now.
00:09:45Heiress of Monroe Construction cheats on her fiancé with...
00:09:49a cowboy?
00:09:50Who are you to talk about cheating?
00:09:52I just caught you in bed with my fiancé.
00:09:54Yeah, well, nobody knows about that, do they?
00:09:56Just wait until I upload these photos.
00:09:58You will never be named CEO.
00:10:05What the fuck are you doing?
00:10:06Are you an idiot?
00:10:08I've already uploaded all these to iCloud.
00:10:11What a coincidence.
00:10:13So have I.
00:10:17You sneaky bitch!
00:10:18At least I have clothes on.
00:10:20What do you think is going to be worse?
00:10:21Your nudes with Ken,
00:10:23or me just in a room with a man?
00:10:26I'm telling father about this.
00:10:28This is not the last of me.
00:10:36I'm sorry you had to see that.
00:10:38But nice move, not going to lie.
00:10:40You handled it well.
00:10:42Is it true?
00:10:43You have a fiancé?
00:10:44Ex-fiancé?
00:10:46Fiancé?
00:10:47Ken Snyder?
00:10:49The heir of Snyder Electronics?
00:10:51That's the one.
00:10:52I'm taking over my mother's company in three days,
00:10:54and that's all he really cares about.
00:10:56Well, that Snyder guy would be a fool
00:10:58to care more about a company than you.
00:11:01Well, anyway,
00:11:03thank you for helping me out.
00:11:05My name is Serena Monroe.
00:11:07What's yours?
00:11:08Jesse.
00:11:09Jesse Ross.
00:11:12As in,
00:11:14CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:11:20Jesse Ross.
00:11:22As in,
00:11:23CEO of Ross Architecture and Construction?
00:11:32Hey, Mom.
00:11:35How are you?
00:11:38Better now that you're here.
00:11:47The Rosses just won't give up, will they?
00:11:50I told them a million times to leave us alone.
00:11:53You're sick for God's sake.
00:11:55They don't care, sweetie.
00:11:57All the Rosses see is a great opportunity
00:12:00to acquire a blooming company from a dying woman.
00:12:04Don't say that, Mom.
00:12:06Don't worry, Serena.
00:12:08I'm leaving the company to you,
00:12:10even if it's the last thing that I do.
00:12:13It's too hard to do alone.
00:12:16Promise me that you'll find someone kind,
00:12:19someone you trust.
00:12:21Marry him
00:12:23and take over the company when you turn 28.
00:12:27And keep our legacy.
00:12:30No, just don't leave me, Mom.
00:12:32Promise me, Serena.
00:12:35I promise.
00:12:40I promise.
00:12:50Jessie Ross.
00:12:53Stay the fuck away from me.
00:12:55I'm sorry, did I say something?
00:12:57My mother was Pauline Monroe.
00:12:59Seven years ago, your family tried to get her
00:13:02to sell her company while she was dying from cancer.
00:13:04Okay, hold on a second.
00:13:06What are you talking about?
00:13:07My mother's company was her life's work.
00:13:09And you tried to steal it from her.
00:13:11And that killed her.
00:13:17Serena, wait.
00:13:19What?
00:13:20And don't say you're sorry.
00:13:21That's not going to bring her back.
00:13:24I'm not Jessie Ross.
00:13:30What do you mean you're not Jessie Ross?
00:13:32I mean, I'm not that Jessie Ross.
00:13:34I mean, it's a pretty common name, no?
00:13:36How can I forget?
00:13:38He's an escort.
00:13:39How could he be that Jessie Ross?
00:13:42Right. Totally.
00:13:44That name is just really triggering for me.
00:13:48Besides, this is the Ross Hotel.
00:13:50If you were the real Jessie Ross,
00:13:52nobody would have recognized you.
00:13:56Good morning, Mr. Ross.
00:14:02How did she know who you are?
00:14:06I work at this hotel quite often.
00:14:10I mean, I work at many different hotels.
00:14:12Of course, of course.
00:14:13Due to your profession.
00:14:15I'm sure you have to do this a lot.
00:14:17Anyway, um, speaking of that,
00:14:19did Leonardi pay you?
00:14:21Excuse me?
00:14:22Oh, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
00:14:26Two grand should be enough, right?
00:14:28And, uh, keep the change.
00:14:38Hold on.
00:14:39Does she think I'm an escort?
00:14:50Have a good rest of your day.
00:14:52Um, do you want me to call you an Uber or something?
00:14:56No, that's alright.
00:14:57I'll take the subway.
00:14:59Subway?
00:15:00Isn't he the owner of this hotel?
00:15:02Well, um, thanks for the great night.
00:15:06You're welcome.
00:15:07Bye.
00:15:08Bye.
00:15:20Morning, boss.
00:15:23Ha, ha, ha.
00:15:28Got some news for you.
00:15:30The franchise mall is delayed in construction again.
00:15:34Same problem?
00:15:35The taco stand lady refuses to leave.
00:15:38We'll have to force a removal if we want to continue construction.
00:15:45Alright, let's go.
00:15:53Hey, so I'm going to need this whole truck that moves.
00:15:57You listen to me, you copper asshole.
00:16:00I'm not going nowhere, okay?
00:16:02I've been here for over ten years.
00:16:04And if you want me to go, it's going to be over my dead body, okay?
00:16:09How much would it cost to buy out the entire business?
00:16:12What?
00:16:13I mean, everybody has a price, right?
00:16:15You asshole!
00:16:16You think everything can be bought with money?
00:16:19Look at you, stupid idiot!
00:16:21I don't think he wants me to come.
00:16:24What is wrong with you?
00:16:25To be with somebody all night is foul.
00:16:27It's absolutely foul.
00:16:28I don't know where she found this person.
00:16:30Shameless bitch.
00:16:32Carol told us that you were out the whole night at a hotel with another man.
00:16:37You have tarnished our family's name!
00:16:42Monroe is my family name.
00:16:45I'm a homewrecker turned stepmom,
00:16:47living in a house that my mom bought with the money that my mom earned.
00:16:52So I suggest you shut your mouth,
00:16:55or I swear I'll do it for you.
00:16:58Look at your daughter.
00:17:03So I suggest you shut your mouth,
00:17:05or I swear I'll shut it for you.
00:17:07This is your daughter.
00:17:09Look at your daughter!
00:17:11How dare you talk to us like that?
00:17:13You're the one out there with every man you could scoop up on the street.
00:17:17Go back to Ken.
00:17:18Apologize and beg his forgiveness.
00:17:21Yeah.
00:17:22I'll do that, Dad.
00:17:24When pigs fly.
00:17:25Are you crazy, Serena?
00:17:27You cannot take over this company until you are married.
00:17:31How do you expect to find a husband in the next few days?
00:17:34Oh, don't you worry. I will.
00:17:36It just won't be the guy that cheated on me
00:17:40with my own sister.
00:17:42What?
00:17:48You're a home wrecker.
00:17:50Like mother, like daughter.
00:17:52You sneaky bitch.
00:17:54I was just keeping Ken company.
00:17:56You were the one who was out with a call boy all night.
00:17:59At least he was nice and honest.
00:18:02You guys?
00:18:04You guys are just a bunch of money-hungry vultures
00:18:07feasting off of what my mom left behind.
00:18:13That's your daughter.
00:18:15She should be locked up.
00:18:17You're both right.
00:18:28I won't let them take your company, Mom.
00:18:31I promise.
00:18:33Okay.
00:18:36Sigh.
00:18:41Where are you, Serena?
00:18:43I don't want to talk about last night.
00:18:45We will talk about it, Serena.
00:18:46But I'm actually calling as your assistant now.
00:18:48You should be meeting the chief designer of construction
00:18:50at Future Mall for the construction site right now.
00:18:53Oh, shit.
00:18:54I completely forgot.
00:18:55Okay.
00:18:56Um, I'm on my way.
00:18:59Nice.
00:19:01Esta troza?
00:19:03It's all yours, sir.
00:19:09God bless you.
00:19:14Hey, can you move this...
00:19:16truck?
00:19:18I can use a drink.
00:19:24Hi.
00:19:25Do you guys have water here?
00:19:28It's you.
00:19:29Oh.
00:19:30I didn't take you as a taco stand kind of guy.
00:19:33You're going to kill yourself doing all these jobs.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Usually I can handle this type of stuff,
00:19:38but I'm especially tired after last night.
00:19:43Well, not today.
00:19:44I'm not doing that.
00:19:46Anyways, what can I help you with, Ms. Monroe?
00:19:49You can call me Serena.
00:19:51I was actually supposed to meet someone here,
00:19:53but it looks like I am late,
00:19:55so I think they already left.
00:19:58Somebody that keeps you waiting?
00:20:00I think you're worth the wait.
00:20:02Hold on a second.
00:20:04You might actually be the perfect guy.
00:20:06Hey, Jesse.
00:20:07Are you married?
00:20:08No.
00:20:09Girlfriend?
00:20:10No.
00:20:11Situationship with different women?
00:20:13Of course not.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:17Perfect.
00:20:18Let's go.
00:20:20Where are we going?
00:20:22City Hall.
00:20:23We're going to get married.
00:20:28Okay.
00:20:30Well, it's official.
00:20:32We're married.
00:20:34Kind of weird to know that I said it out loud.
00:20:36I don't know.
00:20:37I think it sounds just right to me.
00:20:41Well, now that the marriage part is over,
00:20:43let's talk business.
00:20:45I'm going to deposit 10K on this card every month,
00:20:48and that is your salary for playing my husband.
00:20:52You know I'll marry you for free?
00:20:54Come on, Jesse.
00:20:56I know.
00:20:57I know you well enough to know that I like you.
00:21:03Just take it, Jesse.
00:21:06I can't have you working in the hotels.
00:21:09You know what I mean?
00:21:11Listen.
00:21:12I...
00:21:16All right.
00:21:17You're right.
00:21:19A gentleman never argues with a lady.
00:21:22Great.
00:21:23Oh.
00:21:24I have to go, but keep your phone on you,
00:21:27and I look forward to working with you, Jesse Ross.
00:21:31You as well, Serena Monroe.
00:21:37We need to stop talking about her for once.
00:21:39I'm just a little bit over it.
00:21:41Oh, Mike.
00:21:45What are you doing here?
00:21:48You should be on your knees at Ken's house
00:21:50begging him to take you back.
00:21:52Ken probably kicked her out.
00:21:53That's why she's groveling back to us.
00:21:55Funny, coming from the woman
00:21:56who had her hands down his pants this morning.
00:21:58How dare you insult my baby girl,
00:22:01you wretched child.
00:22:03Well, I wouldn't have to if your baby girl
00:22:06wasn't such a liar and a man-stealer.
00:22:09You're just jealous that Ken chose me.
00:22:11And now without a husband,
00:22:12you're freaking out about the CEO title.
00:22:15I'm glad you mentioned it,
00:22:16because I have something to show you guys.
00:22:20Is...
00:22:22Is that...
00:22:24a marriage certificate?
00:22:27You're married?
00:22:31You're married?
00:22:32Who the hell is this guy?
00:22:35That is none of your business.
00:22:39Wait a minute.
00:22:40Jesse Ross?
00:22:42Wait, isn't he the billionaire?
00:22:44Oh, snap out of your daydream.
00:22:46It's not that Jesse Ross.
00:22:48As if a billionaire CEO would be interested in you.
00:22:53Let me guess.
00:22:54Is it the call boy from the hotel the other night?
00:22:58Stop.
00:22:59Homeless.
00:23:01So what if it is?
00:23:05It's my marriage.
00:23:06Why do you care?
00:23:07Are you insane?
00:23:09You are the CEO-to-be of Monroe Construction.
00:23:12What can this loser do for our company?
00:23:15Huh? He's got no connections.
00:23:17He's got no money.
00:23:18He's got nothing.
00:23:19Work is work.
00:23:20Marriage is marriage.
00:23:22If all you're concerned about is money,
00:23:23I'll get you the money.
00:23:25Listen to yourself.
00:23:26What do you think?
00:23:27Money grows on trees?
00:23:29You file for divorce right now,
00:23:32or you never set foot in this house again.
00:23:35Works for me.
00:23:36I don't want to see your faces anyway.
00:23:38I was just here to show you the certificate.
00:23:41Serena!
00:23:44Everything just went so unexpected, Serena.
00:23:48You've been sitting like this all morning, boss.
00:23:51Has something happened?
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:54This happened.
00:23:56Oh my.
00:23:57I got married last night.
00:23:59To that girl.
00:24:00Wait, the girl that got you the wool coat?
00:24:02That's amazing, boss!
00:24:04What did you say whenever you told her
00:24:06you'd been looking for her for the last five years?
00:24:08I didn't tell her.
00:24:10What?
00:24:11Why?
00:24:12Why?
00:24:13She's not just a random girl.
00:24:15She's Serena Monroe.
00:24:17The heiress of Monroe Construction
00:24:19and daughter of...
00:24:20Pauline Monroe.
00:24:22And she thinks that my family killed her mother.
00:24:24And to be honest with you, I don't blame her.
00:24:27But it was your uncle who insisted on going after her mother.
00:24:30You were only 23. You weren't even CEO yet.
00:24:32I know, Cooper, but I'm still a Ross.
00:24:34It doesn't change anything.
00:24:35That's why I don't want her to know who I am.
00:24:37Just not right now.
00:24:38Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:24:39I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:24:45Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:24:46I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:24:48She's been on my mind all these years.
00:24:50I like her.
00:24:52I want to have a chance to get to know her better
00:24:54and to be around her, but I can't do that
00:24:56if she knows who I am.
00:24:58Before she sees me as the Jesse Ross,
00:25:01I need a chance to show her who I really am.
00:25:04Morning, Serena.
00:25:06Hey, where are you?
00:25:08I am at the construction site selling tacos.
00:25:12Again?
00:25:14Yeah, I need to pay the rent.
00:25:16Well, I'm your new boss now.
00:25:19I sent you an address. Can you come now?
00:25:21Yes, of course. I will be there soon, boss.
00:25:26I gotta get going.
00:25:28Okay, well, I have to say, boss,
00:25:30I don't think this is a very good idea.
00:25:32I gotta get going.
00:25:34And what about your meeting in 30 minutes?
00:25:36Push it back.
00:25:37My only priority right now is Serena Monroe.
00:25:43This is not gonna end well.
00:25:49Tom?
00:25:51Looking amazing as ever.
00:25:53Thank you, Miss Monroe.
00:25:55So nice to see you.
00:25:59Your dress is ready. I'll be right back.
00:26:01Actually, it's my husband who is coming in today.
00:26:04Who?
00:26:05He needs some decent clothes, some shoes,
00:26:07and definitely a new watch.
00:26:09That's great.
00:26:10Although I'm not sure I can handle all of that today.
00:26:13Um, but, oh.
00:26:15Oh, sorry. I'm late.
00:26:17Miss Monroe.
00:26:18Why didn't you tell me that your husband was, um,
00:26:21uh,
00:26:23so handsome?
00:26:27Very nice to meet you, Jesse Ross.
00:26:29Wow, I have never been to a store like this.
00:26:31I mean, it must be so expensive.
00:26:34Baby, we don't have to do this if you don't want to.
00:26:38Oh, don't worry about it. I want to.
00:26:43So, can you get his measurements?
00:26:45There's no need.
00:26:50I'm sorry.
00:26:51What I mean is that, you know,
00:26:53I've been doing this for so many years.
00:26:56I can just take one look at him and know exactly what he needs.
00:27:00See, this is why we come here.
00:27:02Because Tom is the expert of all experts.
00:27:05Right, okay.
00:27:06So, well then, uh, Mr. Ross,
00:27:09why don't you, uh, come in the back and I will show you some suits.
00:27:13Great.
00:27:15I will be waiting outside the fitting room.
00:27:21What is going on?
00:27:22Thank you for covering for me.
00:27:24Look, you have an entire rack of suits here that have been custom tailored for you.
00:27:28Pick three and we'll try them on.
00:27:31Oh, okay.
00:27:33What did he say?
00:27:38Okay.
00:27:40Hmm.
00:27:53Hmm.
00:27:54Actually, not bad.
00:27:56Hmm.
00:28:03I like this one, too.
00:28:10What is this magic?
00:28:12Everything fits you like a glove.
00:28:13Trade secret.
00:28:24Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:28:26Excuse me.
00:28:27Sorry.
00:28:28It's okay.
00:28:29I think that we will take all three of them.
00:28:34Oh, yes.
00:28:35Yes, um, uh, actually, today is our annual sale.
00:28:41Fifty percent off everything that you've purchased today.
00:28:43Half off?
00:28:44Tom, you never have sales.
00:28:48Why don't I just go wrap this up for you?
00:28:52Okay.
00:28:55I promise that when I make enough money, I will pay you back.
00:28:59You don't have to pay me back.
00:29:01You're my husband.
00:29:03At least not with money.
00:29:19You know, no one's ever given me that nice of gifts before.
00:29:23Thank you, Serena.
00:29:24Of course.
00:29:25You're my husband now.
00:29:26I want to take care of you.
00:29:28It's not every day that you see a guy with this good in a suit.
00:29:34Actually, I got you something.
00:29:37Oh, wait.
00:29:38Hold on, hold on.
00:29:39Your face.
00:29:42I know I rushed you into this whole marriage thing, so I thought the least I could do is get you a ring.
00:29:59You know, you didn't rush me into anything.
00:30:03I actually, I need to tell you.
00:30:05If it isn't Serena Monroe.
00:30:10So, you must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:30:14I mean, chose.
00:30:19You must be the new husband Serena bought.
00:30:21Oh, you must be Ken Snyder, the cheating ex-fiance she dumped.
00:30:25Anything, I dumped her first.
00:30:27Well, then I have a big thank you to tell you, because she's mine now.
00:30:33You must be paying him a lot, Serena.
00:30:35He's extremely committed to the character.
00:30:38Yeah, I'm really committed.
00:30:40And if you'll excuse us, I'm going to take my wife home.
00:30:51You don't even have your own car?
00:30:54You have to drive Serena's.
00:30:56What kind of loser are you?
00:30:59Loser?
00:31:02I've been called worse by better people.
00:31:16Fucking prick.
00:31:25You're welcome.
00:31:26Wow, I can't wait to see what this place looks like.
00:31:33Wait.
00:31:34Something feels off.
00:31:38Well, this is me.
00:31:40Drive home safe.
00:31:43Where do you live?
00:31:44Aren't you going to invite me in for some coffee or something?
00:31:47Yeah, why not?
00:31:50Where do you live?
00:31:51Aren't you going to invite me in for some coffee or something?
00:31:54Fuck, I just pulled over some random neighborhood.
00:31:56I don't actually live here.
00:31:59Where do you live?
00:32:01Which house is yours?
00:32:02Can I have a tour?
00:32:05Yeah, um, this one.
00:32:07Yeah, I live here.
00:32:09But, uh, maybe next time.
00:32:11See, the thing is that I'm renting.
00:32:13I got a lot of roommates.
00:32:14Six guys and me.
00:32:15It gets messy and dirty and...
00:32:17Wait, you're telling me seven people live in this house?
00:32:20Cramped up?
00:32:21Is that even legal?
00:32:22You know, the housing market is, like, so expensive nowadays, so...
00:32:27Anyways.
00:32:28Drive home safe.
00:32:31Okay.
00:32:32Is he hiding another woman in that house?
00:32:38Not really.
00:32:39You can go.
00:32:40I will.
00:32:41As soon as you get inside.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:47Bye.
00:32:54Bye.
00:32:55See you soon.
00:33:00I forgot my keys.
00:33:03What?
00:33:04Six other people live there.
00:33:06Just knock. I'm sure someone's home.
00:33:13Fuck it.
00:33:18He's coming. He's coming.
00:33:30Who are you?
00:33:31I'm not buying anything.
00:33:32Go away.
00:33:33Hey, friend.
00:33:34I forgot my keys.
00:33:36If you could just, uh, let me inside so we can, uh...
00:33:40Can you just let me inside?
00:33:42I'll pay you whatever you want.
00:33:44Hey, what's wrong with you?
00:33:47What's wrong with you?
00:33:49Who are you two?
00:33:50I don't know you.
00:33:51Are you sick?
00:33:52Get out!
00:33:53Get out!
00:33:59Excuse me?
00:34:01What?
00:34:02What the fuck is going on?
00:34:14What was that for?
00:34:16Do I need a reason to kiss my wife?
00:34:19What's wrong with your roommate?
00:34:21He said that he is very busy with a girl right now,
00:34:25if you know what I mean,
00:34:26and he asked me to come back later.
00:34:28Wait.
00:34:29You know Chinese?
00:34:30A little.
00:34:31Yeah.
00:34:32I'm not fluent, though.
00:34:33That's kind of cool.
00:34:35But you live here.
00:34:36He can't just treat you like that.
00:34:38Oh, no, no, no.
00:34:39I'm actually going to go to a friend's house,
00:34:41hang out for a little bit,
00:34:42and I'll come back later.
00:34:43There's no worries at all.
00:34:44No.
00:34:46Let's go.
00:34:47To where?
00:34:48You're my husband.
00:34:49I can't let you just live like this.
00:34:51I'm going to buy you a house.
00:34:53Are you serious?
00:34:55Of course.
00:34:56Let's go.
00:35:02I do not like the Rosses,
00:35:04but I do have to admit,
00:35:06they have some of the best real estate in the city.
00:35:08This is their new developmental project,
00:35:11and I love it.
00:35:14But $2 million is a big purchase.
00:35:17Purchase?
00:35:18I'll give you this whole neighborhood if you want it.
00:35:21All right, Ms. Monroe.
00:35:23Welcome to the one and only Lawrence Station home.
00:35:26I heard you're interested in purchasing property?
00:35:29Boss?
00:35:33Even this young man thinks you're the boss of the relationship.
00:35:37My wife would like to have a tour of your model home.
00:35:41Certainly.
00:35:43If you'd kindly step into the living room.
00:35:46Ladies first.
00:35:50What are you doing here?
00:35:52You don't remember, boss?
00:35:53You told me to come to the new model home
00:35:55and make sure everything was running smoothly.
00:35:58I can't believe it.
00:36:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:36:02I'll blow my cover.
00:36:04Your secret is safe with me, boss.
00:36:06Always.
00:36:08Funny thing, though.
00:36:10I have another Ms. Monroe on my schedule.
00:36:20Serena?
00:36:22There are 8.5 million people in L.A.
00:36:24How come I keep running into you two cheaters?
00:36:27I'll go wherever I want.
00:36:28What do you think?
00:36:29You own the city?
00:36:30Oh, my God.
00:36:32Did you pay for your own wedding ring yourself?
00:36:35That's the saddest thing I've ever seen, sis.
00:36:37Oh, really?
00:36:38Because I think I'm looking at the saddest thing I've ever seen.
00:36:41Take that back, you bitch.
00:36:44Hey, watch it.
00:36:46You lay one hand on her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:36:49Take it easy.
00:36:50Take your claws off me, call boy.
00:36:53What?
00:36:54You think you're all high and mighty?
00:36:56Why don't you scram and go back to where you came from?
00:36:59Call boy?
00:37:00Anyway, if you two are interested in this unit,
00:37:03you could forget it.
00:37:05Because we're getting it.
00:37:06Right, Ken?
00:37:07Anything my baby wants.
00:37:11If you two are interested in this unit, you could forget it.
00:37:14Because we're getting it.
00:37:15Right, Ken?
00:37:16Anything my baby wants.
00:37:18Cash.
00:37:19Down payment.
00:37:20Now go get us that contract.
00:37:21Mr. Schneider, I know that there's nothing you can do about your face.
00:37:25What did you just say?
00:37:26But have your parents ever taught you to get in line and wait your turn on the playground?
00:37:31Those rules might apply to your peasant world, picking up hot dogs.
00:37:36But in this world, my friend, money is the only express pass.
00:37:41Now what are you waiting for?
00:37:43Go fetch my contract.
00:37:45Actually, Mrs. Monroe has already reserved the unit.
00:37:49What?
00:37:50When?
00:37:56Mrs. Monroe has already reserved the unit.
00:37:59What?
00:38:00When?
00:38:01That's impossible.
00:38:02I made that down payment first.
00:38:03Yeah, well, Mrs. Monroe is the CEO of Monroe Construction.
00:38:07And as one of our VIP clients, she can reserve any unit at any time without a down payment.
00:38:14But I wouldn't expect you to know that.
00:38:17Are you insane?
00:38:19Do you know who you're talking to?
00:38:21This is Ken Schneider.
00:38:23Schneider?
00:38:24Oh, I'm afraid I've never heard that name before.
00:38:27Well, if you guys will excuse us, me and Serena have some paperwork we should be signing.
00:38:35Fine.
00:38:36We don't want your fucking model home anyway.
00:38:38Oh, hey Ken.
00:38:40No cussing.
00:38:41My house, my rules.
00:38:43Let's go, Ken.
00:38:49Looks like the express pass didn't work this time.
00:38:53What?
00:38:54Did I say something wrong?
00:38:58Did I say something wrong?
00:38:59That was fucking amazing.
00:39:02Hey, watch your language.
00:39:05I'm too excited.
00:39:07Thank you, but since when did I become a VIP?
00:39:11From the moment you walked in.
00:39:13Well, if you put it that way, I think I need to buy it.
00:39:17If you put it that way, I think I need to buy it.
00:39:21Ah, and we're having a half-off sale because it's a model home.
00:39:25You get to keep the furniture too.
00:39:28Am I dreaming?
00:39:29I have to be dreaming, Jesse.
00:39:30Pinch me.
00:39:32I think this is real, Serena.
00:39:35I'll go fetch the papers.
00:39:38This is amazing.
00:39:41Welcome to your new home, Jesse.
00:39:44Welcome to your new home, Jesse.
00:39:46How about we call it...
00:39:50Our home.
00:39:54How about we call it...
00:39:58Our home.
00:40:00What?
00:40:01What do you mean?
00:40:03I just got this model home for you because I need you to move in ASAP.
00:40:07Look, it's already furnished and everything.
00:40:09Look, it's already furnished and everything.
00:40:10I know, it's so spacious, but I want to live here with you.
00:40:15Build a home, just us.
00:40:19You really want to do that with me?
00:40:21Why do you keep doubting that I want to be with you?
00:40:25I guess I just haven't felt wanted lately.
00:40:30Well, Serena Monroe, I want you more than anything.
00:40:39This is a pretty big house.
00:40:41Lots of empty rooms.
00:40:44Alright, just so we're clear, I get the master bedroom.
00:40:49Anything you want, Serena.
00:40:52Okay.
00:40:53Alright.
00:40:57It's been such a long day.
00:40:59Are you hungry?
00:41:01I'm starving.
00:41:03I think I know just the place to go.
00:41:06This is my favorite restaurant.
00:41:09They have the best steak in the city.
00:41:11Wow, I cannot imagine what a dish must cost around here.
00:41:14Oh, don't worry about it.
00:41:16Get whatever you want.
00:41:17It's on me anyway.
00:41:19Besides, I saved about a million dollars today.
00:41:25Welcome to LaBelle.
00:41:27Good to see you.
00:41:28Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:41:29My name is Jesse Ross.
00:41:30I'm very excited to be at your establishment for the very first time.
00:41:34Great to have you here, Mr. Ross.
00:41:36I am Leonard, the manager.
00:41:38The lady must be your date for the night.
00:41:40My wife, Miss Serena Monroe.
00:41:43Congratulations on the new marriage.
00:41:45Please, follow me.
00:41:47Wait, how did you know that we recently got married?
00:41:54Wait, how did you know that we recently got married?
00:41:58You know, I've seen so many newly wedded couples come to this place to celebrate.
00:42:03They all have this special glow.
00:42:06Wow, that's very romantic.
00:42:09I guess we do have a lot to celebrate.
00:42:12Perfect.
00:42:13Let me lead you to your table.
00:42:18We have this table for the two of you.
00:42:20Miss Monroe.
00:42:22Perfect.
00:42:33Thank you, sir.
00:42:34You're welcome, sir.
00:42:41Something wrong?
00:42:43No, nothing.
00:42:44Actually, this day has gone by so perfectly, it actually feels unreal.
00:42:51Well, it must be luck.
00:42:54No, it's you.
00:42:59It's you.
00:43:00Ever since I met you, everything just keeps falling into place.
00:43:05You bring so much fortune into my life.
00:43:09I think you're my lucky star, Jesse.
00:43:21You are a glow.
00:43:25You're a glow.
00:43:27Thanks.
00:43:30For some reason, you really like having him around.
00:43:35Should I hire him?
00:43:37Do I have something on my face?
00:43:39Um, no.
00:43:41It's not that.
00:43:43I was actually thinking, since you are my lucky star,
00:43:47why don't you come look with me at my company?
00:43:51I could use the luck.
00:43:53And I like having you around.
00:43:58Well, you say it like that.
00:44:01Where do I have fun?
00:44:06Oh, there you are.
00:44:07And you're the secret husband Chase has been hiding from me.
00:44:11He's not just okay, he's hot.
00:44:13Way to go, bro.
00:44:14Lynn, stop.
00:44:16I'm Lynn.
00:44:17Serena's best friend, assistant, therapist.
00:44:20Well, I'm hoping to take some of that responsibility off you from now on.
00:44:24I like him.
00:44:25Great.
00:44:26Because I brought him here to do an interview with you.
00:44:28An interview for what?
00:44:30Anything.
00:44:31Just find him something to do.
00:44:34No pressure.
00:44:35Just try your best.
00:44:37Wait, Serena.
00:44:39This woman, I swear.
00:44:40I know, right?
00:44:41Well, let's get to it.
00:44:47Okay.
00:44:53What are you doing in my office?
00:45:00What are you doing in my office?
00:45:02And get out of my chair.
00:45:03You're getting your stench all over it.
00:45:05Always so high and mighty, aren't we, Serena?
00:45:09Guess you haven't heard the news.
00:45:11The Johnsons decided to pull out of your biggest project in Williamsburg.
00:45:15Guess they don't trust you with their money.
00:45:17No need to be nervous, okay?
00:45:18We'll just chat a bit.
00:45:20Sounds good to me, yeah.
00:45:21So, you have your resume on you?
00:45:23Yeah, I do, yeah.
00:45:25I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
00:45:27But, uh, nothing too serious.
00:45:30Serena chose you as her Prince Charming.
00:45:32I'm sure you've done something...
00:45:35incredible.
00:45:37You went to Harvard?
00:45:38Yes, yeah.
00:45:39You were the chief designer of reconstruction of Shangri-La, Shanghai.
00:45:43That is correct, yeah.
00:45:44And you designed Crazy Maple Plaza in Silicon Valley.
00:45:49You know, with your resume, you could have a job in the industry anywhere in the world.
00:45:55I know.
00:45:57But there's only one Serena Morel.
00:46:00And she's the most important thing to me.
00:46:05That's impossible.
00:46:07I just met with the COO last week.
00:46:10Wait, Ken went to college with him.
00:46:12You two did this.
00:46:15Don't point fingers when you can't even manage your own company.
00:46:19You start as CEO next week.
00:46:22What are you going to do?
00:46:24Well, as her assistant, I should be critical and grill you with more questions.
00:46:30But, as her best friend, I feel like she is so lucky to have you.
00:46:38Hey, Serena.
00:46:40Hey, Serena.
00:46:43Serena's office.
00:46:45Shit.
00:46:46I think I recognize that voice.
00:46:48Carol Monroe.
00:46:50Not you again.
00:46:57You start as CEO next week.
00:47:00What are you going to do?
00:47:01I'll find a solution.
00:47:03I'm not losing the Johnson case.
00:47:05There's a fine line between confidence and stupidity, Serena.
00:47:09You want a piece of free advice?
00:47:11Quit right now.
00:47:13I'll die before I let go of this company.
00:47:16Face it, Serena.
00:47:18Without the Johnson's money, you're going to lose the biggest case of your life.
00:47:22And I don't really think the board is going to be too happy about that.
00:47:25But, I'll see if I can have Ken call them to change their minds.
00:47:29And all you'll have to do
00:47:33is get down on your hands and knees
00:47:36and beg me.
00:47:38What's more important to you?
00:47:39Your ego?
00:47:40Or your dead mother's company?
00:47:43Keep dreaming, Carol.
00:47:46Great.
00:47:47Looking forward to seeing you get fired.
00:47:53Wait.
00:47:55Wait.
00:48:06Wait.
00:48:25Don't do it.
00:48:27You again.
00:48:28You know what? Don't steal my line.
00:48:30And how dare you bully my wife like that.
00:48:32I didn't do anything.
00:48:33It's the Johnson's that pulled out of her project.
00:48:37Not anymore.
00:48:42Vincent.
00:48:43It's Jesse. Hello.
00:48:45I'm good, bro. Yeah.
00:48:46Hey, I have a question for you.
00:48:48I heard you were pulling out of the Monroe Project, yeah?
00:48:51Oh, that would be amazing.
00:48:53Hey, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much, alright?
00:48:56Alright, we'll talk soon.
00:48:58Be safe. Bye.
00:49:00I'll take care of it.
00:49:01Serena, thank you for the project.
00:49:03But the Johnson's...
00:49:04The Johnson's just agreed to sell the project for 20 million to Ross Instruction
00:49:07and they're going to continue to fund that strange project.
00:49:10You're lying.
00:49:14Okay, you're lying.
00:49:15The Rosses wouldn't just donate 20 million dollars to some project.
00:49:19You're more than welcome to call Vincent if you'd like, yourself.
00:49:21But I doubt you have his phone number.
00:49:24Serena?
00:49:25It's all taken care of.
00:49:27Mark my words, Serena.
00:49:28Your luck will run out soon.
00:49:30And when it does, I'll be in the front row waiting for that day.
00:49:41Does she always stand in the door like that?
00:49:46What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy about all this.
00:49:49I am happy that the project is being saved.
00:49:53But I don't know how I feel about it being the Rosses.
00:49:57Serena.
00:49:59Wait, how do you know Vincent Johnson?
00:50:02Oh, shit. What should I tell her?
00:50:04I, uh...
00:50:06I've helped him with some stuff.
00:50:11Aw, I knew I was right about you, Jesse Ross.
00:50:15How do you always end up being at the right place at the right time?
00:50:19That was close.
00:50:21Because I only do it for the right person.
00:50:25Stop, we're at the office.
00:50:31How was your interview, by the way?
00:50:32I don't know, you tell me. How was my performance back there, huh?
00:50:36You're hired.
00:50:38As my personal assistant.
00:50:39Perfect! I've been dreaming of this day my whole life.
00:50:46Hey, see you at work.
00:50:49Bye.
00:50:52Cooper!
00:50:53Hey, I wanted to let you know I am stepping away from the company for a little while.
00:50:56What?
00:50:57Why?
00:50:58I accepted a job offer from my wife as her assistant.
00:51:01Wait, what?
00:51:02Your company makes millions of dollars a month and you're tossing it aside for no good reason?
00:51:06Well, I'm doing it to be with Serena. That's the best reason.
00:51:09I'm not tossing it aside, I'm leaving it in your care while I'm gone.
00:51:13Oh, okay, yeah. Easy for you to say, boss.
00:51:16I trust you, Cooper, okay? You can do it.
00:51:20Alright, bye.
00:51:21Wait, hold on a second, boss. Wait.
00:51:39Surprise!
00:51:43Surprise!
00:51:46Did you do all of this?
00:51:50Anything for my wife.
00:51:56Is that my apron?
00:51:59Okay, you can laugh all you want. I am not getting a stain on this shirt.
00:52:03Who says I'm laughing?
00:52:06Actually, I think it is quite sexy.
00:52:10You're the first man who's ever cooked for me.
00:52:13Really? No one's ever done this for you?
00:52:16Men in my world are not like you, Jesse.
00:52:18They wear $5,000 suits, play golf, and they only care about two things.
00:52:24Spending money and how to make more of it.
00:52:28You're full of surprises.
00:52:30You're pretty special.
00:52:35You say the word and I will do this for you every single day for the rest of your life.
00:52:44For the rest of your life.
00:52:47Or as long as you'll have me.
00:52:50Well, I have to taste test this first.
00:52:54Alright. Ladies first.
00:52:57Fair warning, I'm pretty picky.
00:52:59Don't take my chances.
00:53:07This is amazing.
00:53:08This is amazing.
00:53:10You have a little something.
00:53:16A little something.
00:53:28This is too good to be true.
00:53:32You're too good to be true.
00:53:36I don't want to keep doing this to you.
00:53:39What are you talking about, Serena?
00:53:42I think we should end this.
00:53:45Oh no, did you find out who I am?
00:53:48I think we should end this.
00:53:51I proposed to you only to become CEO and you ended up being so special.
00:53:57Okay, I'm going to stop you right there.
00:53:59Yes, you did ask me to marry you.
00:54:02But have you ever thought about why I said yes?
00:54:05Because I'm paying you?
00:54:06Ten thousand dollars a month is a lot, yes.
00:54:10But it's not enough to make me stay.
00:54:12I stay because I like you.
00:54:15I'm falling for you, Serena.
00:54:18Really?
00:54:20You're falling for me?
00:54:23Yes.
00:54:25Now.
00:54:28Shall we?
00:54:37So, you can dance.
00:54:39Do you have any other secrets that you're hiding from me, Jesse Rock?
00:54:43I guess we'll find out.
00:54:48Actually, I think I have a secret to tell you.
00:54:55Actually, I have a secret to tell you.
00:54:58I have a secret to tell you.
00:55:05I think I'm falling for you too.
00:55:10Well then, I guess we'll just call it even.
00:55:29I think I'm falling for you too.
00:55:50Do you know that when two people look at each other's eyes long enough,
00:55:55their heartbeats synchronize?
00:55:57No way. You just made that up.
00:56:00I'm serious.
00:56:02Feel it.
00:56:12Serena?
00:56:16Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:56:21Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:56:22Do you hate Jesse Ross?
00:56:24I... I don't know.
00:56:27I know he just recently took over the company a year ago,
00:56:31and it was his Uncle Alfred who was going after my mom, not him.
00:56:37But he's still Ross.
00:56:39I don't know if I can look past that.
00:56:43I've never told anybody this,
00:56:46but even though my mom has been gone for five years,
00:56:51sometimes I pretend she's just traveling,
00:56:57and she'll come back one day.
00:57:00She was the only one that ever truly loved me.
00:57:04That's why I can't let go of this company.
00:57:08If I lose this, then I lose everything of her.
00:57:13I'm sorry that you had to do it alone.
00:57:16It was hard. I'm not alone anymore.
00:57:21I have you.
00:57:24I haven't felt like this in a really, really long time.
00:57:30Like what?
00:57:32Like home.
00:57:51We're going to have to move.
00:57:53If this is what you want to do, you can do that.
00:57:55But you're going to have to move it all the way over.
00:57:57This is the CEO office.
00:57:59Dad, have you ever heard of knocking?
00:58:01You think you're such a hero for securing funds from Ross Construction, do you?
00:58:06Here, why don't you take a look at this.
00:58:09Selina Monroe broke our engagement,
00:58:13and then married another man in less than 24 hours.
00:58:16She broke my heart.
00:58:18Worse than that, she broke my trust.
00:58:20That is why I am hereby terminating all partnerships with Mondo Constructions.
00:58:27He cheats on me first, and then he wants to go off about trust.
00:58:31That's funny.
00:58:33I don't care who cheated on whom.
00:58:35You ruined our relationship with Ken, and now our business is sinking.
00:58:39Dad, you don't care about the company.
00:58:42You just want the bribe that Ken said he'd give you.
00:58:46How dare you accuse your father of this?
00:58:49How dare you accuse your father of this?
00:58:55Get your hands off me, you asshole!
00:58:58Anyone that hurts Selina, I'll hurt them first.
00:59:00Do you understand? You've got two options.
00:59:02You either walk out the door yourself, or I'll throw you out.
00:59:05What is it? What are you going to do?
00:59:11That's what I thought.
00:59:14Who the hell is this?
00:59:16Who the hell is this?
00:59:18Jesse Ross, Selina's husband and personal assistant.
00:59:21You hired him?
00:59:23What is this, a homeless shelter?
00:59:25His resume was approved by HR.
00:59:27He got here fair and square, unlike you,
00:59:29who took Mom's seat on the board as soon as she passed.
00:59:32I swear, you mark my words, Selina.
00:59:35You are going to regret losing all the money that you had in projects with Ken.
00:59:40The big board meeting is tomorrow,
00:59:42and if you can't dig your way out of this,
00:59:44you can kiss this company goodbye.
00:59:54You okay?
00:59:57Don't worry about it.
00:59:59No, Jesse. He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
01:00:03No, Jesse. He's right. I'm going to lose the company.
01:00:07What are you talking about?
01:00:09You're Selina Marone. You'll figure it out.
01:00:11I know my wife.
01:00:13I know, but the board doesn't, Jesse.
01:00:15And if I don't get enough business for the company,
01:00:17they're going to vote me out.
01:00:19I promised my mom, and I'm failing her.
01:00:21Look at me.
01:00:23It's going to be okay.
01:00:25I will help you figure this out.
01:00:27We'll figure it out together, all right?
01:00:29The board meeting is in 24 hours, Jesse.
01:00:31No one can fix this.
01:00:35I know one person.
01:00:39I have an idea,
01:00:41and you're not going to like it. You're going to say no.
01:00:43You've got to hear me out first.
01:00:46You need to call Jesse Ross
01:00:48and set up an in-person meeting with him.
01:00:54You need to call Jesse Ross
01:00:56and set up an in-person meeting with him.
01:00:58That is the only company in this industry
01:01:01that can handle all the properties of Kent's.
01:01:03This could be your only chance
01:01:05to actually save the company's reign. Do you understand?
01:01:07And this could be his shot to right the wrong
01:01:09that his family did to you.
01:01:11Even if I did call him up,
01:01:13if my son wants to work with him,
01:01:15why would he choose me?
01:01:17He's chosen you before.
01:01:19I have a feeling that he could choose you again.
01:01:23I have to step out for a minute,
01:01:25but trust me,
01:01:27call him.
01:01:35What should I do, Mom?
01:01:37Promise me
01:01:39that you'll find someone kind,
01:01:41someone you trust,
01:01:43and you'll take over the company
01:01:45when you turn 28.
01:01:47Keep our legacy.
01:01:57Hello?
01:01:59Boss, your wife,
01:02:01I mean, Miss Monroe,
01:02:03is on the line.
01:02:05Put her on.
01:02:08Good morning, Mr. Ross.
01:02:10This is Serena Monroe from Monroe Construction.
01:02:11Good to hear from you, Miss Monroe.
01:02:13Why does his voice sound so familiar?
01:02:15Is there anything that I can do for you?
01:02:17Yes, actually.
01:02:19Since we are officially doing business together,
01:02:21I think there are a few projects
01:02:23that would be perfect for your company.
01:02:25And I was wondering if you would be interested
01:02:27in meeting tonight in person
01:02:29to discuss our future together.
01:02:32That sounds wonderful.
01:02:34I would love to finally meet you
01:02:36in person, Miss Monroe.
01:02:38Oh, and may I just say,
01:02:39I really admire what you are doing
01:02:41over at that company.
01:02:43I think you're a very bright
01:02:45and strong woman.
01:02:47Thank you, Mr. Ross.
01:02:49Please call me Jesse.
01:02:51See you tonight, then, Jesse.
01:02:54Hmm.
01:02:56It's a lot nicer than I thought.
01:03:01This may be my last night with you, Serena,
01:03:04but I'm just going to tell you the truth
01:03:07and hope for the best.
01:03:10Jesse, I don't know if I can do this.
01:03:12I'm freaking out right now.
01:03:14Look at me.
01:03:16Everything is going to be okay tonight, all right?
01:03:18I promise.
01:03:20How can you be so sure?
01:03:22Because you're amazing,
01:03:24and he will see that.
01:03:26And we're also named Jesse Ross,
01:03:28so I basically know how his brain works.
01:03:30That wasn't scientific at all.
01:03:32But it worked, didn't it?
01:03:34Guess what?
01:03:36I have a surprise for you.
01:03:37Show me.
01:03:44Where did you find such a place?
01:03:47Well, I know the owner,
01:03:49and he agreed to lend it to me.
01:03:51I mean, I figured we never had a first date,
01:03:53so, uh, why not?
01:03:58This is beautiful, Jesse.
01:04:01It really is.
01:04:03Wait. Don't move.
01:04:07Why?
01:04:09I'm trying to see if our heartbeats synchronize.
01:04:12And what do you think?
01:04:15I can't tell.
01:04:17It seems like yours is getting faster and faster.
01:04:21And who's fault is it?
01:04:23I don't know.
01:04:30I'm lucky to have found you, Serena.
01:04:33Me too, Jesse.
01:04:34You know, something weird happened earlier
01:04:36when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:04:39I saw your face.
01:04:46It was like you had some weird familiarity somehow.
01:04:53It must have been a déjà vu moment.
01:04:57It must be.
01:05:04Oh, my God.
01:05:06I'm an idiot.
01:05:08Is it finally time?
01:05:10You planned this whole date for us,
01:05:12and here I am talking about another man.
01:05:16I'm so sorry. I...
01:05:18It's okay.
01:05:20I am just glad to be in this moment with you.
01:05:25Well, see?
01:05:27I'm your wife.
01:05:29You have your whole life to spend with me.
01:05:31And mark my words, Jesse Ross,
01:05:34you're not gonna get rid of me that easy.
01:05:36Then I am the luckiest man in the world.
01:05:40I love you.
01:05:43You have no idea how much I wish
01:05:45you'd never know who I really am.
01:05:50I love you too, Jesse.
01:06:00I love you too.
01:06:12Well, I guess we're back where it all started.
01:06:16I guess we are.
01:06:31I'm sorry. I gotta take this.
01:06:34Okay. I'll just meet you out there.
01:06:39Serena?
01:06:44Nothing.
01:06:46Good.
01:06:50Serena, I promise I will tell you everything when I'm done.
01:06:57Alfred?
01:06:58Alfred?
01:07:00Jesse!
01:07:02Did you really think you could keep Serena Monroe
01:07:04a secret from me?
01:07:06Stay out of it, okay?
01:07:08This is between me and her.
01:07:10Not anymore.
01:07:12Come up to my suite.
01:07:14We need to talk.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:26Five more minutes.
01:07:29Okay.
01:07:48I thought you were in Europe.
01:07:51You wouldn't return my calls, Jesse.
01:07:55So I thought
01:07:56either you're in trouble
01:07:58or you're hiding something from me.
01:08:00Turns out
01:08:02both my guesses are correct.
01:08:04Me and Serena are married.
01:08:06I'm investing in her project so she can keep her company.
01:08:08You can't do anything about it.
01:08:12You've always been a hopeless romantic, Jesse.
01:08:15And that's the worst quality a CEO can have.
01:08:19Now, don't get me wrong.
01:08:21I'm proud of you
01:08:23for gaining Serena Monroe's trust.
01:08:24She never would have agreed to sit down with me.
01:08:27And I do like her projects.
01:08:29But then I thought
01:08:31why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:08:36Why fund her when I can take over her entire company?
01:08:39She's given everything for that company.
01:08:41You can't just take it from her.
01:08:43I'm not taking anything.
01:08:45I'm buying.
01:08:47I'm gonna make her a decent offer
01:08:49and if she's smart enough, she'll take it.
01:08:51I'm not gonna let you do that.
01:08:53I know you won't.
01:08:56Which is why I
01:08:58have to do this.
01:09:00Alfred.
01:09:02Alfred!
01:09:03Hey!
01:09:06Go, go, go, go!
01:09:07Hey, hey!
01:09:08Alfred! Alfred!
01:09:18I see you've noticed the proposal I drafted for us, Ms. Monroe.
01:09:23Alfred Ross.
01:09:27Alfred Ross.
01:09:29I know you're expecting my nephew.
01:09:31However, I just had a chat with him
01:09:34and unfortunately we were unable to come to terms on our business strategy.
01:09:38Business strategy?
01:09:40Is that what you call trying to force a dying woman
01:09:43to sell her company?
01:09:45I understand your frustration, Ms. Monroe.
01:09:47But I'm a businessman.
01:09:49So is your mother.
01:09:50A successful one, I might add.
01:09:52She knew the rules of the game
01:09:55and so do you.
01:09:57Fuck!
01:09:59Fuck!
01:10:03I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Ross,
01:10:06but it seems that we have too much history
01:10:10to continue this conversation.
01:10:12I'd like to speak with your nephew, if I may.
01:10:15Unfortunately, Jesse is currently occupied.
01:10:17But I assure you, Ms. Monroe, I speak for the both of us.
01:10:21After all,
01:10:24we are family.
01:10:31Jesse's phone.
01:10:34He's your nephew.
01:10:37He's the Jesse Ross.
01:10:42Now, I know all about your situation, Ms. Monroe.
01:10:44And I assure you, I have your best solution right here.
01:10:47I'm never selling my company.
01:10:50Especially not to you.
01:10:52Well, I knew you'd say that.
01:10:54But to me, it's really all the same.
01:10:57You see, it's simple.
01:10:59Either you sign these papers now and sell to me,
01:11:03or tomorrow you get voted out by your board.
01:11:05Your stocks crash and I buy it cheap.
01:11:09Whatever you choose, Ms. Monroe.
01:11:11I'll get what I want.
01:11:18Shit!
01:11:20Hey!
01:11:22Someone let me out!
01:11:25Cooper! How did you find me?
01:11:27I couldn't reach you, boss.
01:11:29So, I tracked your phone to this hotel.
01:11:31I saw your uncle down in the lobby with your phone,
01:11:34so I knew something was off.
01:11:36The front desk told me he checked into this room.
01:11:38Alfred is forcing Serena to sell the company.
01:11:39We need to get down there, right now.
01:11:41Okay.
01:11:46So, everything he did was to get close to me.
01:11:51To get my company.
01:11:53Are there any other secrets you're hiding from me, Jesse Ross?
01:11:57I guess we'll find out.
01:11:59You know, something weird happened earlier
01:12:01when I was on the phone with Jesse Ross.
01:12:03I saw your face.
01:12:05Love clouds what?
01:12:06I saw your face.
01:12:08Love clouds one's vision.
01:12:10And as you know, in this business,
01:12:12your vision must always be crystal clear.
01:12:17Sign this.
01:12:19You'll get a fair price,
01:12:21board seat, and your share of stocks.
01:12:23Or,
01:12:25wait till tomorrow and let your board decide the fate of your company.
01:12:29Like I said, it's really all the same to me.
01:12:36Promise me, Serena,
01:12:38take over the company when you turn 28.
01:12:41And keep our legacy.
01:12:43I'm sorry, Mom.
01:12:45I'm tired.
01:12:52Don't do it, Serena.
01:12:54Jesse, what the hell are you doing?
01:12:56You keep me in a hotel room
01:12:58so you can force Serena to sign an acquisition contract?
01:13:01You gotta stop this, Alfred.
01:13:03It's been a long time.
01:13:04You gotta stop this, Alfred.
01:13:06It's been five years since you tried to
01:13:08take Serena's mother and make her sign a contract
01:13:10when she was dying of cancer.
01:13:12What, are you gonna do it again?
01:13:14I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:13:16This is fucking business,
01:13:18and I'd do it all over again for my company.
01:13:20Cooper, you got it?
01:13:22Loud and clear.
01:13:24I don't care who I have to lock up and who's dying.
01:13:26This is fucking business,
01:13:28and I'd do it all over again for my company.
01:13:31Now I'm gonna bring that recording
01:13:32to the board of my company,
01:13:34and we're gonna see if your business strategies
01:13:36align with us.
01:13:38But if you want my advice,
01:13:40you better start packing.
01:13:42How dare you?
01:13:44I am your uncle.
01:13:46This is our family business.
01:13:48Not anymore.
01:13:50I'm CEO of Ross Construction,
01:13:52and we're gonna do this my way.
01:13:54You know what?
01:13:56You better leave now before I make you.
01:13:58Hold on.
01:14:00You're forgetting something.
01:14:02What?
01:14:20Serena, Serena, I can explain.
01:14:22No, don't tell me that you can explain.
01:14:24Weren't you lucky that I happened to stumble
01:14:26into the wrong hotel room that one night?
01:14:28I poured my heart out to you,
01:14:30and you've been lying to me this whole time.
01:14:32The marriage,
01:14:34the house,
01:14:36even this meeting, all for what?
01:14:38So you can earn my business,
01:14:40redeem your name,
01:14:42pretend that you're some good person?
01:14:44No, none of that at all, actually.
01:14:46Then why did you do this?
01:14:49Because I fell in love with you five years ago.
01:14:59I didn't know anything about you,
01:15:00but I thought about you
01:15:02every single day
01:15:04for five years.
01:15:07It was winter.
01:15:09You got robbed, and I gave you my coat.
01:15:12I thought I would never see you again,
01:15:14and then you walk into my hotel room.
01:15:16I was shocked.
01:15:18But then I realized that my family hurt you,
01:15:21and how much you hated me.
01:15:23So you pretend to be my escort?
01:15:25What, to get close to me?
01:15:27To become my best friend?
01:15:31You can't do this to me, Jesse.
01:15:34You lied to me.
01:15:36You manipulated me.
01:15:38You created this fairy tale of us.
01:15:40You made me fall in love with somebody
01:15:42who doesn't even exist.
01:15:45Serena,
01:15:47did you really?
01:15:50Did you fall in love with me?
01:16:00Did you really fall in love with me?
01:16:02I can't. I can't do this, Jesse.
01:16:06I am sorry
01:16:08that I lied to you.
01:16:10You have every right to be mad.
01:16:13But I don't want to lose you again.
01:16:16And you know
01:16:18that everything that we have here
01:16:20is real.
01:16:22You know that.
01:16:24It's so much easier to hate you
01:16:26than to love you.
01:16:31It's so much easier to hate you
01:16:33than love you, Jesse.
01:16:40Serena, wait.
01:16:42It's done.
01:16:44I'm losing the company tomorrow.
01:16:46I'm just going to leave L.A., okay?
01:16:48No, it's not.
01:16:50It's not.
01:16:52It's not.
01:16:54It's not.
01:16:56It's not.
01:16:58It's not.
01:17:00It's not.
01:17:02Because you never said it was.
01:17:04What are you talking about?
01:17:06I told myself to let you hate me
01:17:08and to let you go.
01:17:10But you never said it.
01:17:15I've been waiting for the right time
01:17:17to give you this.
01:17:21I know that you lost your home
01:17:23and you lost your mother
01:17:25and that it's very hard to believe in somebody again.
01:17:27But if you can change your mind,
01:17:28I can be your home.
01:17:35I'm still the same person
01:17:37that you fell in love with
01:17:39and I can keep waiting for you.
01:17:41I've done it for five years.
01:17:43I can do it again.
01:17:51Jesse, I can't.
01:17:52Why not?
01:17:59Because I already proposed to you once.
01:18:02Now it's your turn.
01:18:05And you have to do it right.
01:18:13All right.
01:18:17Serena Monroe,
01:18:19will you marry me
01:18:21again?
01:18:24Yes.
01:18:34I love you,
01:18:35Serena Monroe.
01:18:37I love you too, Jesse.
01:18:39Are there any more secrets
01:18:41that you need to tell me?
01:18:43Not anymore.
01:18:45I promise.
01:18:48Okay.
01:19:13All right, it's official.
01:19:15Robert and Carole Monroe
01:19:16are officially off the board
01:19:18and are no longer entitled
01:19:20to your company.
01:19:22How does it feel, Madam CEO?
01:19:24Freaking awesome.
01:19:30Oh,
01:19:32I have to go.
01:19:34Thank you, Lynn.
01:19:36You know, actually,
01:19:38why don't you just take the rest of the day off?
01:19:40Sure,
01:19:42but why would I...
01:19:44I heard you were also having the day off.
01:19:47This woman, I swear.
01:20:07Okay, you can laugh all you want,
01:20:09but I am not getting pesto
01:20:11on this suit.
01:20:13It's an homage.
01:20:14Well,
01:20:15I bought it for you.
01:20:17So it's your monthiversary as CEO.
01:20:20How are you feeling, Ms. Monroe?
01:20:22I am feeling
01:20:24excited,
01:20:26powerful,
01:20:28exhausted,
01:20:29and so,
01:20:31so, so hungry.
01:20:32Well, we can take care of that.
01:20:36Do you know that I am so happy for you?
01:20:38That you got your company back.
01:20:40And I am very proud of you, sweetheart.
01:20:43Am I still being too much, or...
01:20:45No, I think it's perfect.
01:20:51What are you thinking?
01:20:54I don't know.
01:20:56This just
01:20:58feels like home.
01:21:13Mother,
01:21:15you have to do something about that bitch.
01:21:18She kicked me and Daddy out of the company.
01:21:21This is all because she married
01:21:24that Jesse Ross.
01:21:26We almost had her
01:21:28and her company.
01:21:29The worst part is
01:21:30Ken hasn't been picking up any of my calls
01:21:32or responding to any of my text messages.
01:21:35So he's probably with some new bitch.
01:21:38Tell me what to do.
01:21:40Stop crying and bitching.
01:21:41Turn on the TV.
01:21:43Last month,
01:21:44Ken Snyder accused his ex-fiancée
01:21:46Serena Monroe of cheating.
01:21:48Turns out he was the one who cheated first.
01:21:51And we have photos to prove it.
01:21:57No!
