00:00:00I just... I just need a little more time.
00:00:03One week, that's it.
00:00:13Focus, brat.
00:00:16Get the boss to sign off on this campaign by the end of the day.
00:00:19You know, Mr. Reed, it always takes a week to review a campaign proposal.
00:00:22I'm sure you'll figure it out.
00:00:24Remember, your bonus depends on this.
00:00:31Your mom's day ain't going nowhere, princess.
00:00:34I just... I just need a little more time.
00:00:37One week, that's it.
00:00:49Mr. Reed is so intimidating.
00:00:52And hot.
00:00:54I know.
00:00:56Mr. Reed is so intimidating.
00:00:59And hot as hell.
00:01:05Gosh, that sugar daddy charm?
00:01:08Straight out of a Hollywood flick.
00:01:13Stop dreaming, Heather. Just do your job and ask for the approval.
00:01:26Can I help you?
00:01:36Can I help you?
00:01:42I said hi.
00:01:56How can I help you?
00:01:58Heather, sir, from Creative.
00:02:01I'm here to get your sign off on the new campaign proposal.
00:02:05And as for you, I don't need boys who pull stunts like that, so...
00:02:11You're fired.
00:02:13No wonder they call you Declan Ice.
00:02:17So, Heather.
00:02:19What do you think about this proposal?
00:02:23I think it's good.
00:02:27But it could be better.
00:02:31For instance, the target demographic could be expanded.
00:02:36Go on.
00:02:40And here, maybe adding some interactive elements.
00:02:45Impressive.
00:02:53I'm betting my money on you, Heather.
00:02:57So don't let me down.
00:03:15Hey, Jade.
00:03:17What are you doing?
00:03:19Hey, Jade.
00:03:21Waitressing at Wayne's party tonight?
00:03:25Uh...
00:03:29Yeah. Yeah, I'm in.
00:03:31No, I don't mind serving those rich snobs.
00:03:34As long as the money's right.
00:03:37Okay. See ya.
00:03:41Get me on the guest list to the Wayne's party tonight.
00:03:49Okay.
00:03:55Be nice to the customers. Smile.
00:04:02How can I help you?
00:04:04Heather, sir, from...
00:04:20Hey, I was just checking on you.
00:04:23Oh my god, what are you wearing?
00:04:25Yeah, well, I guess someone forgot to mention the dress code.
00:04:29Oh, shit. I'm so sorry, Heather.
00:04:32I had no idea it was gonna be like that.
00:04:35Well, it's okay.
00:04:37But the money better be worth it, though.
00:04:40Well, good luck, babe.
00:04:42Bye.
00:04:49Bye.
00:05:14Ugh. Keep your eyes to yourself, you pervs.
00:05:19Ugh.
00:05:23Ugh!
00:05:31Ugh!
00:05:35Can I buy you a drink, gorgeous?
00:05:38No, thank you, sir. I've got plenty right here.
00:05:41Oh, come on. Don't be like that. Let's have a little fun.
00:05:45Ugh.
00:05:49I believe the lady said no.
00:05:52You know what? She's all yours.
00:05:57He probably thinks I'm some kind of escort.
00:06:00Is he gonna fire me for this?
00:06:02Don't tell me that this is a sign that I don't pay you enough at your day job.
00:06:07Uh, I'm sorry, sir.
00:06:10I think you have me mistaken for someone else, sir.
00:06:13If you'll excuse me.
00:06:15Oh, yeah, you're right. You don't have the Heather Black frames that she usually wears.
00:06:22My apologies, miss.
00:06:24Here you go.
00:06:26Oh, wait.
00:06:27What now?
00:06:34I just needed a drink.
00:06:36Now you're free to go.
00:06:44Heather!
00:06:49Heather!
00:06:53I'm afraid we won't be able to pay you for tonight's work.
00:06:56What? Why not?
00:06:58I just complained about your behavior.
00:07:01A guest claims you were rude and unprofessional.
00:07:06Have a little fun.
00:07:08I was just trying to do my job. He was the one who kept harassing me.
00:07:12I cannot afford to lose high-profile clients.
00:07:18Please, just leave.
00:07:20This is outrageous.
00:07:22How can you do this to me?
00:07:24Please, sir, you have no idea how much I need this money.
00:07:27Well, maybe I could help you out.
00:07:33O-okay.
00:07:35Great, great, sir.
00:07:37You know, maybe I could scrounge up some cash.
00:07:41Could show me a good time.
00:07:43You creature of relentless!
00:07:46What are you?
00:07:48Decent?
00:07:49Work in a place like this?
00:07:51Dress like that?
00:07:53Let go of me!
00:07:55No one's gonna save the whore tonight.
00:07:58You're all mine.
00:08:00There you are, honey.
00:08:05Heather.
00:08:12You're all mine.
00:08:14There you are, honey.
00:08:16Get your hands off of her.
00:08:20Who the hell are you?
00:08:22I'm her boyfriend. What does it look like?
00:08:27Just play along.
00:08:29And if I catch you ever harassing her again, I'll make sure you live to regret it.
00:09:00Drunk?
00:09:02A little.
00:09:06I can't thank you enough, Mr. Reed, for everything that you've done.
00:09:09I don't know what I would have done if you didn't step in.
00:09:14Oh, so now you remember me.
00:09:17What happened from before?
00:09:19Oh, you were mistaking me for somebody else.
00:09:24Hey, you know, if you needed help with money, you could have came to me.
00:09:29I could have helped out.
00:09:31Mr. Reed, I'm just a normal employee.
00:09:36I don't deserve special attention from the boss.
00:09:39You're not just a regular employee.
00:09:41Not to me.
00:09:45You mean more to me than you'll ever realize.
00:09:54I'm sorry.
00:10:18God, is this really happening?
00:10:21I'm making out with Declan freakin' Reed. He's probably just as wasted as I am.
00:10:27Screw it.
00:10:51Shit.
00:11:15Shit. What have I done?
00:11:21Shit.
00:11:27Shit.
00:11:35God, what if someone in the office finds out I slept with the boss?
00:11:47Oh!
00:11:52Shit.
00:11:56Well, well, well.
00:11:58Looks like someone went off the rails last night.
00:12:07Is that why you've been so spacey lately?
00:12:10Too busy spreading your legs?
00:12:12It's not like that.
00:12:14I would never—
00:12:16Well, at least you're finally bringing something to the table.
00:12:20You've got a loaded male client who needs a little convincing.
00:12:27You can't be serious.
00:12:29Spare me. It's not like you have anything else to offer.
00:12:32You're the only one here without a fancy degree.
00:12:36I am perfectly capable of doing my job without stooping to something like that.
00:12:42Leave the real work to those of us who can actually analyze a report, honey.
00:12:47It's your job to use your, uh, debauchery to seal the deal.
00:12:57And if you can't seduce him, find another way.
00:13:02Prove to me you're more than just the office slut.
00:13:18Time's up, princess. Where's our money?
00:13:25If you can't pay up, we're gonna have to sell your part.
00:13:29I wonder how much your kidney's worth.
00:13:37Hey, get your hands off of her!
00:13:39Listen, we don't want any drama. Just pay up and we'll be on our way.
00:13:43Yeah, princess. We saw you coming out of that fancy penthouse this morning. We know you got some dough.
00:13:47That promise is not mine!
00:13:49How much does she owe you?
00:13:52How much does she owe you?
00:13:54$200,000. What do you do, pull it out of thin air?
00:14:05$300,000. You give her back, it's yours.
00:14:14That's so quick.
00:14:16That extra $100,000 isn't just a freebie.
00:14:18This little lady here needs to blow off some steam, and she needs an outlet.
00:14:21So she gets to take some swings.
00:14:26Yo.
00:14:29Give him hell.
00:14:35Ah!
00:14:44Ah!
00:14:45Ah!
00:14:46Don't you ever come back here again, you hear me?!
00:14:54Yeah.
00:15:00I...
00:15:01Thank you, Mr. Reed, for everything.
00:15:04I know it's a lot of money, but I'll find a way to pay you back. I promise.
00:15:08I'll pay you back, I promise.
00:15:10I think of a way for you to make some quick cash.
00:15:15Yeah?
00:15:16Yeah.
00:15:17You should look for a sugar daddy, and by that I mean me.
00:15:21Wait, what?
00:15:22No offense, Mr. Reed, but are you crazy?
00:15:25Oh, come on. Those mobsters, they can track you down so easily.
00:15:29You should just stay with me. It's the safest option.
00:15:32Oh, that's what you think.
00:15:34You should just stay with me. It's the safest option.
00:15:37Oh, that's what he meant.
00:15:39At least, for now.
00:15:42I...
00:15:43I don't want to impose.
00:15:46Last time I checked, I'm still the boss.
00:15:48And I say that it's no problem at all.
00:15:56All right.
00:15:59As you wish, boss.
00:16:01Mm-hmm.
00:16:02I'm in.
00:16:06You know, people say you're this cold and heartless guy,
00:16:10but the way I see it, you're the best boss ever.
00:16:14Is that so?
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:16You look after your employees, even the ones who aren't all that special, like me.
00:16:22I tend to save my heroics for the ones who sleep soundly in my bed, like you did last night.
00:16:30Speaking of which, why did you sneak out so early this morning?
00:16:38I'll pay you back. I promise.
00:16:41Speaking of which, where did you sneak off to so early this morning?
00:16:44I had a lot of work to get done. I wanted an early start at the office.
00:16:49Speaking of which, I should probably head to work.
00:16:52There's this big, important meeting I need to get started on.
00:16:55Well, hey, hey. Well, hey, if it's so important, then I can just give you a ride.
00:16:59No, no, it's okay.
00:17:01No, but if it's as important as you say it is, then it deserves the attention of the boss, too, right?
00:17:09All right, then. Thank you.
00:17:13Of course.
00:17:17Let's go.
00:17:26Why am I not surprised she's trying to sleep her way to the top?
00:17:40Hey, hey, what happened to you?
00:17:42It's nothing, honestly. Just me being my usual clumsy self, spilling coffee all over the place.
00:17:49Me being my usual clumsy self, spilling coffee all over the place.
00:17:53Look, if somebody is bullying you-
00:17:56Honestly, Mr. Reid, I think I could survive a little coffee spill.
00:18:02Good.
00:18:04But let's swing by my place first so you can change into something a little less caffeinated.
00:18:10Little tramp. Trying to sink her teeth into the boss?
00:18:19Wow.
00:18:40Wow.
00:18:42I need a full wardrobe to deliver here immediately. Dresses, shoes, the whole thing. And spare no expense. Thank you.
00:18:51Mr. Reid, this is too generous.
00:18:54Relax, this is just one of the many perks of living with me. So get used to it.
00:19:01So tell me, have you thought about moving in with me?
00:19:06Yes. I'm ready.
00:19:37Hmm.
00:19:43So this is his way of rewarding someone for keeping him entertained?
00:19:53Where the fuck are you? The meeting's been cancelled. Get your ass back to the office now.
00:19:59I'll be right there. I'm sorry, work emergency.
00:20:04Hey, what's going on?
00:20:06A meeting at the office just got cancelled, but I have to be at the office ASAP.
00:20:11Look, Heather, I want you to be honest with me. Do you really enjoy working at that office?
00:20:19It's my job. I have to keep pushing through, no matter what.
00:20:25Okay. Then I'll call my driver and he can take you back to the office.
00:20:31Thank you, Mr. Reid.
00:20:46Ooh, Mr. Reid sure knows how to spoil his fiancé, huh?
00:20:51I know.
00:20:52Wait, what? He's engaged?
00:20:55What's wrong with her?
00:20:56That's just Heather, our so-called visual designer. Honestly, she's the weakest link on the team.
00:21:02She's not exactly eye candy either.
00:21:04And she's a nightmare to work with. Doesn't even have a college degree. Lazy, incompetent, always causing drama.
00:21:12And what is this supposed to be? I mean, how does she even live?
00:21:19Well, girl, how dare you think you can steal my man?
00:21:27Did you see? She just changed her dress. I bet she just had a quickie.
00:21:34I'm not sure if she's a quickie.
00:21:36I'm not sure if she's a quickie.
00:21:38I'm not sure if she's a quickie.
00:21:40I'm not sure if she's a quickie.
00:21:42I'm not sure if she's a quickie.
00:21:44Did you see? She just changed her dress. I bet she just had a quickie.
00:21:50I wonder who the lucky guy is. Probably some big shot. Or a boss himself.
00:21:58Is it true? Have you been seducing my fiancé?
00:22:02Listen, I...
00:22:04You little...
00:22:06You little...
00:22:08Let me go! Get off me!
00:22:13You stinking whore!
00:22:22Let me go! Get off me!
00:22:26Open wide, you man-eating whore!
00:22:32Let me go! Let me text!
00:22:34Bitch!
00:22:44Look at her all high and mighty. Thankfully we all know what she is.
00:22:51And always sweat. And liability.
00:22:59I bet that's one of her many lovers checking in for a pre-call.
00:23:02Heather, it's your brother. He's run away from rehab again.
00:23:07Heather, it's your brother. He's run away from rehab again.
00:23:10Jade! Jade, listen to me!
00:23:12Oops.
00:23:16Poor little Heather.
00:23:18Sounds like your bro's a real train wreck.
00:23:20Guess the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the diseased tree.
00:23:23No wonder she said to screw up.
00:23:26Yeah, I thought her whole damn family was nothing but a bunch of junkies and losers.
00:23:34Oh, just look at her. So pathetic.
00:23:45What the hell is going on here?
00:23:50Karen, you're fired.
00:23:53What the hell is going on here?
00:23:59Karen, you're fired.
00:24:02Karen, you're fired. Pack your shit up and leave now.
00:24:08And consider this a warning.
00:24:10Anyone who wants to harass or bully Heather will be out on the streets with Karen.
00:24:17You know, we belong together and we still have business we need to finish.
00:24:22That will be wrapped up soon enough. And when it is, I don't want to see you ever again.
00:24:31Let's go.
00:24:35Did you see that? Why does Mr. Reed treat Heather so differently?
00:24:41That chick's gonna mess up my plan. I need to take care of her first.
00:24:50You're okay.
00:24:52Look, take your time. Freshen up and if you need to go to the restroom, it's right through that door, okay?
00:24:58I need to go, Mr. Reed. My brother...
00:25:01Is probably getting a score from his dealer.
00:25:05How...
00:25:06Am I right?
00:25:07How did you know?
00:25:15Joey, I need you to track someone for me. I just sent you the information on your phone. Make it quick.
00:25:23My nephew Joey, we'll track him down.
00:25:25Okay.
00:25:28Got it.
00:25:30That's... Wow. Thank you, Mr. Reed. I think I can handle it in here.
00:25:37Hmm.
00:25:39Hey, Heather.
00:25:45You think I'm gonna let you go alone? Not a chance.
00:25:56Heather.
00:25:58What are you, um... What are you doing here?
00:26:00I could ask you the same thing, you little punk. Aren't you supposed to be in rehab?
00:26:04I can explain.
00:26:05Hey, hey, hey, hey, Florence. Take it easy. Take it easy.
00:26:08Who the fuck are you, old man?
00:26:09Take it easy.
00:26:10Let me go!
00:26:11No!
00:26:14How could you do this? I have worked my ass off to get you into this rehab center.
00:26:20Rayne, you'd better get your shit together.
00:26:23You think I asked for any of this? You have no fucking idea what it's like.
00:26:28The constant cravings. The pain. The emptiness.
00:26:33You don't get to judge me. You have no right!
00:26:38I have every right!
00:26:40Because I'm the one who has put a roof over your fucking head since mom has died!
00:26:45Why don't we just all take a deep breath here, okay, everyone?
00:26:48No, I'm taking your ass back to rehab!
00:26:50No, I can't. I won't, and you can't make me!
00:26:54Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, hey. Just, hey, hold on. Take a deep breath.
00:26:58Okay?
00:26:59What do you want? What do you want?
00:27:01Give me the money.
00:27:02Boringkirk, where did you get that gun? I swear!
00:27:05It's money, damn it!
00:27:06Okay, okay, okay. Look, this is all I have on me right now.
00:27:13Here you go. Look.
00:27:15I have more in my car.
00:27:17We can go there and we can talk about this and resolve everything peacefully.
00:27:21Fine. But no funny business.
00:27:26Okay.
00:27:27That's enough fooling. Let's go.
00:27:42I gotta pee.
00:27:44I gotta pee.
00:27:47You sneaky old bastard.
00:27:49Your friend's been locked up, so there'll be no more little meetings between you two.
00:27:52What?
00:27:57You've been too kind. Thank you, Mr. Reid.
00:28:00Call me Declan. I answer.
00:28:03Great. Thank you, Declan.
00:28:06Oh, he didn't do it for you, sis. He just wants to get in your pants.
00:28:11Shut up, Florian.
00:28:15Alright, let's get ready.
00:28:26Thank God you found him.
00:28:29I was worried sick.
00:28:31Don't let him out of your sight. Not even for a second, Jade.
00:28:33I don't need a fucking babysitter.
00:28:36Actually, Heather, we can move Florian into a private room with 24-7 security.
00:28:41Wow.
00:28:42But it comes at a much higher cost.
00:28:48I'll pick up the bill.
00:28:49Mr. Reid, no.
00:28:51Let me do this for you, Heather. Please.
00:28:55Let me do this for you, Heather. Please.
00:28:57I'll pay you back.
00:28:59Here's my assistant's number. You can call him to coordinate all of the transferring of Florian here and his treatment.
00:29:04Don't worry about the cost.
00:29:07Come on.
00:29:11I really appreciate this, Mr. Reid.
00:29:13You don't need to thank me. You live with me now.
00:29:16Still, I'll pay you back. I'll find a way to make more money.
00:29:21If you're so set on it, then I know a way that you can do that quickly.
00:29:26Yeah? How?
00:29:28For you to be my contracted lover.
00:29:32To be my contracted lover.
00:29:36For you to be my contracted lover.
00:29:39Mr. Reid, I'm not sure.
00:29:43I guess she's still not into me.
00:29:46Look, look, hey. There's no need to overthink this.
00:29:50I just had a fun night the other night, and I'd like to continue the fun.
00:29:55No strings attached. Just purely physical.
00:29:59Ah.
00:30:01Come on, just think of it this way.
00:30:03I can take care of your debt, I can pay off your brother's treatment,
00:30:07and I can make it so you don't have to work with those lousy co-workers ever again.
00:30:11What do you say?
00:30:18Alright. Mr. Reid, I accept your proposal.
00:30:22Good.
00:30:24Now, let me give you a ride home. It's been a hell of a day, hasn't it?
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:37Hey.
00:30:39There you go.
00:30:40Thanks.
00:30:42And remember, it's Declan.
00:30:48Right. Sorry. Declan.
00:30:50No, it's fine.
00:30:54So, do you wanna...
00:30:56Um...
00:30:59When my mom died, I had to give up my passion of studying art.
00:31:05And I couldn't afford it.
00:31:07Not with the bills and Florian's rehab expenses.
00:31:14It's just, I fought so hard to keep my head above water, you know?
00:31:21It feels like I'm still drowning.
00:31:29I'm here for you. You know that, right?
00:31:41Hmm.
00:31:44I love you.
00:32:03I want you.
00:32:13I love you.
00:32:21And so it begins.
00:32:33Good morning.
00:32:35I made you breakfast.
00:32:37Is that... Is that my mother's recipe?
00:32:40Yes. I looked up one of her old blog posts.
00:32:43And I wanted you to have a taste of home.
00:32:49Yes. I looked up one of her old blog posts.
00:32:52And I wanted you to have a taste of home.
00:32:57Shouldn't you be heading out, you little whore?
00:33:00You don't want to keep your next client waiting.
00:33:02Okay, Maeve, that is enough.
00:33:04Look, I know you just want to have a good time with some random chick,
00:33:08but I'm back now, Declan, and we belong together.
00:33:12Okay, stop. That's enough.
00:33:15Security, I need you to remove a woman from my property now.
00:33:20What have you done to him, bitch?
00:33:24Hey.
00:33:26Guys, please take a look.
00:33:27You'll get tired of her soon!
00:33:39Declan?
00:33:52Declan?
00:33:54How did you and Maeve break up?
00:34:03Declan?
00:34:05How did you and Maeve break up?
00:34:11Maeve and I...
00:34:14We were together for a long time.
00:34:18And then my dad passed.
00:34:22And I had to step up at the company.
00:34:24She...
00:34:27She bailed on me.
00:34:31I'm sorry. I...
00:34:34I shouldn't have pride.
00:34:37It's fine.
00:34:39After all, we're just...
00:34:41Contracted lovers, right?
00:34:46Yeah.
00:34:49It's probably best if we keep things professional.
00:34:52I'm just here to make money.
00:34:54Nothing more.
00:34:57Well...
00:34:59If that's the way you want to play it...
00:35:05Then why don't you do your job?
00:35:27Guess who's back, bitch?
00:35:29I knew Maeve would convince the boss to give you your job back.
00:35:34It's only a matter of time now before the old flames are reignited.
00:35:38Exactly.
00:35:39Maeve's got it all.
00:35:41Beauty, breeding, brains...
00:35:44Everything you lack.
00:35:47Looks like someone just a temporary sex toy.
00:35:51I don't know how you tricked Declan into taking you in.
00:35:54But once he sees the real you...
00:35:56He'll toss you aside like a used condom.
00:36:00Now get ready for the company costume party tonight.
00:36:06I... I... I can't wear that.
00:36:10I'm sorry, Maeve.
00:36:11I'm sorry.
00:36:12I'm sorry.
00:36:13I'm sorry.
00:36:14I'm sorry.
00:36:15I'm sorry.
00:36:16I'm sorry.
00:36:17I'm sorry.
00:36:18I can't wear that.
00:36:23Didn't seem to have a problem flaunting your assets then, did you?
00:36:28I was just there to serve drinks, that's it.
00:36:30So, Heather, how much do you charge for a night of waitressing?
00:36:33An escort by night?
00:36:35And a doormat by day?
00:36:38No, that's not...
00:36:39I would never...
00:36:40Oh, spare us the innocent act.
00:36:44The new head of marketing will be at the party tonight.
00:36:47So why don't you put your... talents?
00:36:50Good use.
00:36:53No.
00:36:54Absolutely not.
00:36:55I won't do it.
00:36:56Oh, but you will.
00:36:58Unless you want the entire company to find out about...
00:37:01your junkie brother.
00:37:05Play nice with the new boss.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:41Care for a drink, handsome?
00:37:44Sure.
00:37:48I think we should just keep this professional.
00:37:52Come on.
00:37:53You don't really care about that bitch, do you?
00:37:56She's only using you.
00:38:00Once she has enough money, she'll be gone.
00:38:04Besides, the office gossip has been buzzing about you and Heather's extracurricular activities.
00:38:12If you truly want to protect her, let her go.
00:38:17Well, well, look who it is.
00:38:19The office slut.
00:38:21All tarted up for her sugar daddy?
00:38:24I thought you said this was a costume party.
00:38:28I thought you said this was a costume party.
00:38:31It looks like this stripper got lost on the way to the bachelor party.
00:38:35Maybe we should call her a cab.
00:38:40Everyone, I'd like you to meet Heather Kirk.
00:38:43Our very own visual designer here at Reed Innovations.
00:38:48Hold up.
00:38:49She works here?
00:38:51Dressed like that?
00:38:53Wow.
00:38:55This is interesting.
00:38:58I gotta say...
00:39:01Sexy.
00:39:06I gotta say...
00:39:08Sexy.
00:39:10You definitely stole my thunder tonight.
00:39:13My apologies, everyone. I have no idea how my costume ended up on this lady.
00:39:20Now what do you say we get this party back on track, hmm?
00:39:25Mr. Foster, it was just a harmless little joke.
00:39:28You know, Karen, since you seem to have such a passion for playing dress-up,
00:39:33maybe you would be happier working in the costume department.
00:39:36Oh, no, please. Mr. Foster, I've worked so hard to get where I am now.
00:39:41Now.
00:39:54Here.
00:39:57Take this.
00:39:59You'll be a hell of a lot comfier in that getup.
00:40:02Thank you, sir.
00:40:03Oh, I'm Joey Foster. I'm Declan's nephew.
00:40:08Oh, wait. So you're the one who helped us nail Florian's sealer?
00:40:13And you pulled the strings to get him that private room at rehab?
00:40:17I can't begin to thank you enough for everything that you've done.
00:40:22You know, if I had any idea we had a beauty like you on the payroll,
00:40:27I would have come back a lot sooner.
00:40:30Whoa, whoa, hey. Easy there, tiger.
00:40:37Hey, hey, hey, easy there, tiger.
00:40:41You truly want to protect her? Let her go.
00:40:47Wow. So you're crushing on the staff already, huh?
00:40:53What can I say? I appreciate beauty.
00:40:58Right. Like I actually thought he'd be jealous over me.
00:41:03Thanks again for the rescue, Joey.
00:41:05I should probably get going. Well, get dressed and head out.
00:41:13Why do I get the feeling like she's a bit sad?
00:41:26Listen, it's never a good idea to mix business and pleasure. Do you hear me?
00:41:30Oh, come on. Uncle Dec. A little office romance never hurt anyone, am I right?
00:41:36Besides, I think she's dating someone, so why don't you just drop it, Joey?
00:41:40Trust me. She's not going to be able to resist this forever. You know what I mean?
00:41:46Family heirloom from Declan's mother, if you can catch my drift.
00:41:53They're engaged anyway?
00:42:00I don't think so.
00:42:04I don't think so either.
00:42:08I don't think so either.
00:42:12I don't think so either.
00:42:16Looks like she's moved on to the boss' nephew now. Typical.
00:42:24Heather!
00:42:27I know. We just met, but I can't get you out of my head. It's like fate brought us together.
00:42:35Joey, I-
00:42:36It's one date. It's all masking.
00:42:39All right. One date as a thank you for everything you've done for me.
00:42:49You won't regret it.
00:42:56Maybe this is exactly what I need. A distraction from Declan and Maeve's engagement.
00:43:02Oh, damn, Heather. Upgrading from the boss to his younger, hotter nephew.
00:43:09I can do whatever I want, and you should mind your own business.
00:43:29Hey. Everything okay? You seemed a little off.
00:43:36Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine. Don't worry.
00:43:46Actually, there's something I need to tell you about.
00:43:53Joey, he asked me out today, and I said yes.
00:44:02Wasn't that what you wanted?
00:44:06No need to get a blessing from me. It's not like we're exclusive or anything.
00:44:12Right. Of course.
00:44:16And for hygiene's sake, maybe we don't sleep with other people while we're doing this.
00:44:21Is that all you care about?
00:44:25What, is there anything else? Don't act like you actually care.
00:44:36Heather! Hi. Welcome. Please, sit.
00:44:48Give him hell.
00:44:50That's enough, Floyd!
00:44:52I'm so glad you agreed to this.
00:44:54Yeah, yeah, this cafe is lovely.
00:44:57Right? Kind of reminds me of this little cafe that Declan and I used to hit up.
00:45:02You and Declan, you seem close.
00:45:05Oh yeah, for sure. We go way back.
00:45:09I wouldn't let his tough exterior fool you. He's not as cold as he seems.
00:45:17Dex, he's been through a lot. His mom struggled with mental health issues for years.
00:45:26She took her own life. Dex was the one that found her.
00:45:31Oh my god. That's awful.
00:45:36Yeah. And a few years ago, his fiancée may have ditched him at their engagement party.
00:45:44Ever since all that stuff, he's had a really hard time letting new people in.
00:45:49I didn't know he was carrying so much pain.
00:45:54Hmm.
00:45:58I've had a really great time getting to know you, Joey.
00:46:01I really appreciate everything that you've done for me.
00:46:04Same here. Heather, we should definitely do this again soon.
00:46:12Listen, Joey.
00:46:15I think it's best if we just stay friends.
00:46:20I get it. Heather, it's okay. No hard feelings.
00:46:26But, just so you know, I'm not giving up that easily.
00:46:34Uh, sorry.
00:46:36All good.
00:46:41Heather, I can't take it anymore. I swear, I can't take it anymore.
00:46:47Heather, I can't take it anymore. I swear, I'll kill myself.
00:46:51Florian, calm down.
00:46:52I need cash. Now!
00:46:54Just go ask your sugar daddy or I'll end it right here in this damn rehab center!
00:47:04Just go ask your sugar daddy or I'll end it right here in this damn rehab center!
00:47:17Is everything okay?
00:47:21Actually, can I ask you a favor?
00:47:26I was wondering if you know of any work I could do?
00:47:31Of course. Heather, I've got a few freelance design gigs that could use your touch.
00:47:40Consider it done.
00:47:43Thank you, Joey.
00:47:45You're welcome.
00:48:16Is everything okay?
00:48:18Florian called earlier, threatening to hurt himself if I don't get him more money.
00:48:23What? Why don't you just come to me?
00:48:25I don't want to keep burdening you with my family's problems.
00:48:29So, I just got a freelance job with Joey.
00:48:34I see.
00:48:37I'm sorry.
00:48:39I got a freelance job with Joey.
00:48:43I see.
00:48:45So, you'd rather go to my nephew instead of me?
00:48:48No, I...
00:49:00Here.
00:49:02Because clearly, all you think of me is just money, right?
00:49:21What do you think your relationship is with me?
00:49:24And what do you think of me?
00:49:29I want you to leave. Now.
00:49:33So, this is it. It's over.
00:49:39It's over.
00:49:46Well, well, well. It is our little favorite debtor.
00:49:49I thought we said this.
00:49:51That was then. This is now.
00:49:53We want more money.
00:49:55Hand it over!
00:50:09What's she got?
00:50:11Yeah.
00:50:15Looks like our little princess is all out of luck.
00:50:20Get away from me.
00:50:27You can both take this money and get the fuck out of here.
00:50:30Yeah.
00:50:33Shit.
00:50:35You okay?
00:50:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:46Come on, guys.
00:50:53She's fine.
00:50:56Declan, is that you?
00:51:01Declan?
00:51:03Is that you?
00:51:05Hey, hey. Easy. Easy.
00:51:07What happened?
00:51:09Last thing I remember.
00:51:11We don't need to talk about that right now.
00:51:13Right now, you need to focus on getting a rest, okay?
00:51:17Where's Florian?
00:51:19It's fine. I took care of him.
00:51:22He won't be creating any more trouble.
00:51:29Look, Heather.
00:51:31I just want to ask you one thing.
00:51:33I thought you were mad at Joey and I.
00:51:40What do you mean?
00:51:41I just need to make sure that my contracted lover is in good shape so she can fulfill her duties.
00:51:47I can't have you distracted by family drama.
00:51:58Right.
00:52:00Of course.
00:52:04Okay.
00:52:13I'm so confused, Jade.
00:52:16I think...
00:52:18I think I'm falling for Declan.
00:52:21But there's no way he could ever feel the same.
00:52:24After everything he's done for you, he's clearly had over heels for you.
00:52:28No, it's just business to him. Nothing more.
00:52:31Let's not forget about Maeve, his gorgeous ex-girlfriend.
00:52:35Hold up. Maeve?
00:52:38As in Maeve Mitchell?
00:52:42The lady who runs the fancy rehab center?
00:52:47So he asked her for help.
00:52:50They're a match made in heaven.
00:52:53Well, honey...
00:52:56Now that everything is figured out with Florian,
00:53:00I've saved up and I'm going to study art.
00:53:05Maybe that will help me get over these ridiculous feelings with Declan.
00:53:10Heather!
00:53:13Hi.
00:53:14Hi.
00:53:15I just got you an interview with the top London art gallery.
00:53:19Hi.
00:53:20Hi.
00:53:21I just got you an interview with the top London art gallery.
00:53:24Hi.
00:53:25I just got you an interview with the top London art gallery.
00:53:28Oh, wow, that's amazing.
00:53:34Um, I just...
00:53:37I need to make a phone call.
00:53:42Declan's phone. Maeve speaking.
00:53:51I should have known.
00:53:55No.
00:53:59No.
00:54:10Is she okay?
00:54:12I've never seen her do that.
00:54:13I don't know.
00:54:16Wait, you don't think?
00:54:18Think.
00:54:20Could she be pregnant?
00:54:24No.
00:54:34Should have been more careful about accepting drinks from exes, babe.
00:54:50Hey there.
00:54:53Ah, thank you.
00:54:56Ooh.
00:55:21What the hell are you doing?
00:55:23You're gonna regret rejecting me, Declan.
00:55:26I'm gonna destroy you and everything you've built.
00:55:29No.
00:55:30No, Maeve.
00:55:31Maeve!
00:55:32Maeve!
00:55:42It's Florian, Heather's brother.
00:55:44I think I can help you break up the happy couple.
00:55:47And why should I trust you?
00:55:49You should use me to get to Heather.
00:55:51She'll do anything for me.
00:55:53All I need is for you to help me to get out of your rehab center.
00:55:57You've got yourself a deal.
00:56:06So the baby's about two weeks along.
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:12What's your plan?
00:56:14I'm gonna keep it.
00:56:18And I'm still going to leave.
00:56:25And I don't want Declan to know.
00:56:34Declan?
00:56:35Wait, wait, no, it's not what-
00:56:38Why did Declan look so sad at the hospital when he saw me with Joey?
00:56:44Florian?
00:56:45Is everything okay?
00:56:46Heather, I'm trying so hard to stay clean.
00:56:50But it's a constant battle.
00:56:52Hey, I'm here for you.
00:56:54What can I do?
00:56:55Can you meet me outside the rehab center?
00:56:58I could really use my sister's support.
00:57:00Just hang tight.
00:57:01I'm on my way.
00:57:07Okay.
00:57:18Well, if it isn't little homewrecker-
00:57:23Florian?
00:57:24What are you-
00:57:26What are you going to do to me?
00:57:30We'll use you as bait to lure Declan here.
00:57:33Kill him, and then you.
00:57:37Then, Florian will use it to pin it on you killing your share of daddy
00:57:43in order to find your drunken brother.
00:57:47What?
00:57:48Laurie, please.
00:57:49Stop.
00:57:50Please.
00:57:55I know.
00:57:56Please.
00:57:57Stop.
00:58:01What do you want, Maeve?
00:58:03Declan, we need to get to the rehab center right away.
00:58:07Heather's in terrible danger.
00:58:09No.
00:58:10And why should I care?
00:58:19And why should I care?
00:58:23Fuck.
00:58:27Hey, Maeve.
00:58:29When Jade told me that Florian escaped again, I knew I had to tell you.
00:58:33Well, thank God you got to me in time.
00:58:35Now we have a head start on tracking her location.
00:58:39So, what's the plan?
00:58:43Your stupid plan's falling apart, donkey.
00:58:46Declan is too smart for this.
00:58:49No, no, no.
00:58:50Heather!
00:58:53Hey, hey.
00:58:56Hey.
00:58:57Hey, you're gonna be fine.
00:58:58You're gonna be fine.
00:58:59Look at me. Look at me.
00:59:00You're gonna be fine.
00:59:01You're okay.
00:59:02Hey, you're fine.
00:59:04Maeve, what's wrong?
00:59:17Hey.
00:59:19The baby's fine.
00:59:21Okay?
00:59:25Okay.
00:59:33I know that we've had our ups and downs.
00:59:36But I don't want to spend another day without you by my side.
00:59:43So...
00:59:47Heather Kirk, will you marry me?
00:59:56Yes.
01:00:09Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Declan and Heather.
01:00:21I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:00:24You may now kiss the bride.
01:00:30Wow.
