00:00:00🎵
00:00:05Housekeeping
00:00:07🎵
00:00:13Oh my god
00:00:15🎵
00:00:30Beep, beep
00:00:32Ava, screw the other guy, I found a new target
00:00:36Who is that?
00:00:38Shh, you'll wake him
00:00:40Okay, but who is that?
00:00:42I have no clue
00:00:44Ava
00:00:46It's fine, it's fine, I'm just gonna leave before he wakes up
00:00:48It's like, it never happened
00:00:50What's this new target you're talking about?
00:00:52We got a new CEO and he owns the hotel
00:00:54Plus he's hot and he's like royalty
00:00:56Royalty?
00:00:58Isn't he perfect?
00:01:00I mean, I think his family like, owns countries or something
00:01:02🎵
00:01:08I slept with our CEO
00:01:10🎵
00:01:14Ugh, this sleazebag, I can't believe he had the nerve to walk out on me
00:01:16Just cancel the room
00:01:18Chloe, I can't, it's past cancellation time
00:01:20Just say it to Claire Claire
00:01:22I can't, they're cracking down on things
00:01:24And with the hotel getting acquired, I could get fired
00:01:26Well Ava, you know I can't pay for the room
00:01:28Shh, maybe you should have thought of that
00:01:30Before you booked a $5,000 night suite to bone some rich guy
00:01:32He stiffed me
00:01:34In more ways than one
00:01:36Please, I'll pay you back
00:01:38I can't, and it's under my name
00:01:40I can't pay for it or management will fire me
00:01:42I need this job for my mom
00:01:44I don't have that kind of money
00:01:46What kind of money?
00:01:50Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:01:52Uh, I have to get back to work
00:01:54Chloe!
00:01:56I can't wait till this place sells
00:01:58And I don't have to deal with the idiots
00:02:00Ava, I see we have a guest
00:02:02In the presidential suite
00:02:04Good, I'll be keeping track of it
00:02:10Wow
00:02:12Your best friend just cost you $5,000
00:02:16What am I supposed to do with a $5,000 night suite?
00:02:18I mean, if you have to pay for it
00:02:20Might as well enjoy it
00:02:44I guess I'm just drinking my way into debt again
00:02:46I guess I'm just drinking my way into debt at this point
00:03:06Looks like my night just got better
00:03:10Excuse me, I'm sorry
00:03:16Do you like tequila?
00:03:30I'm so sleepy
00:03:46You
00:03:48You
00:03:50You
00:03:52You
00:03:54You
00:03:56You
00:03:58You
00:04:00You
00:04:02You
00:04:04You
00:04:06You
00:04:08You
00:04:10You
00:04:12You
00:04:14You
00:04:16You
00:04:20No
00:04:22Stay
00:04:24Today
00:04:28I slept with her CEO
00:04:34Chloe!
00:04:36No, no, what do I do?
00:04:38Go I'll cover for you
00:04:40What?
00:04:42I can't believe she bought it.
00:04:57I won't need this shitty job when I'm a duchess.
00:05:02Wait.
00:05:03I didn't get your name.
00:05:06Now I offer you a reason to chase me, my prince.
00:05:13Hey.
00:05:16Chloe Archer.
00:05:22Chloe Archer.
00:05:27Hey, what's going on?
00:05:32Our new CEO is choosing a secretary.
00:05:39Whoever gets it gets a raise.
00:05:45I wouldn't torture yourself with mine.
00:05:53Ava, you're not exactly executive material.
00:05:56I heard he's a real duke from England.
00:05:58I've never seen a real aristocrat before.
00:06:00Do you think he wears an ascot?
00:06:02Has an accent?
00:06:04I read that his entire family's estate is the size of Manhattan.
00:06:09And he owns over a dozen hotels.
00:06:12He fired the entire Bellhair staff after two days.
00:06:16Clifford Harrington offered me the VP position in his luxury chain hotel group.
00:06:21As soon as the acquisition was settled, the Sinclair family has owned us for years.
00:06:25And suddenly daddy makes him CEO and he's here meddling.
00:06:29I cannot let him get in the way of this sale.
00:06:32But boss, if you could recommend me as his secretary, I think I could help you keep an eye on him.
00:06:39It wouldn't hurt to have a friend in the duke's office.
00:06:45What are you staring at?
00:06:48Don't you have work to do?
00:06:50Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
00:06:52Your hair looks like you stuck your finger in a socket.
00:06:54Brush it!
00:06:56Why are you wearing one earring?
00:06:59It must have fallen off.
00:07:02How did the guests enjoy the presidential suite?
00:07:05I can't tell her I fucked my boss in the presidential suite.
00:07:08Who stayed there?
00:07:10Speak up!
00:07:12I don't remember his name.
00:07:21I better hide my ass so he doesn't see me.
00:07:38Speak of the devil.
00:07:40Mr. Sinclair! Your highness! Can I call you your highness?
00:07:43Duke, can I please take a selfie with you?
00:07:46Of course.
00:07:48Okay, thank you.
00:07:54She's fired.
00:07:56What?
00:07:57Security.
00:07:58No, please. I worked really hard. Please don't! I love you!
00:08:00He fired someone over a selfie?
00:08:03He definitely can't find out we slept together.
00:08:05Your grace, it is an honor to have you here.
00:08:08I am Christine Bernard.
00:08:10Yes, I know who you are. Your reputation precedes you.
00:08:13You've been the GM for the last five years and helped in the acquisition of this hotel.
00:08:17Well done.
00:08:19Since you're new here, I would like to offer you my secretary Kate to assist you.
00:08:23Mr. Sinclair, great to be working with you.
00:08:27Yes, I will need a new secretary, but I prefer to choose my own.
00:08:32By the way, I am calling off the acquisition. We're no longer selling.
00:08:36You can't call it off. I've already signed a deal memo with Mr. Arrington.
00:08:41My family owns this hotel, Ms. Bernard, so I assure you I can do whatever I want.
00:08:46Now, if you wish to keep your position, I suggest you don't mention this sale again.
00:08:51As you wish, your grace.
00:08:55Mr. Sinclair will do just fine. No need sucking up.
00:09:01Mr. Sinclair, these are all the candidates for the secretary position.
00:09:06You really need to take a look at my resume.
00:09:10Please don't see me. Please don't see me.
00:09:13You there!
00:09:20Have we met? Is it her?
00:09:23I'm sorry, Mr. Sinclair.
00:09:26Have we met? Is it her?
00:09:28I'm sorry, Mr. Sinclair.
00:09:31Sir, I'm not sure what you mean.
00:09:41Chloe Archer.
00:09:48I want her.
00:09:49Excuse me?
00:09:51I want her.
00:09:52Excuse me?
00:09:53You ought to be my new secretary. Should you accept?
00:09:56No. No. No, sir.
00:09:59I'm just not capable.
00:10:01Ava Grant? Why her? She's just a stupid desk girl.
00:10:07Why her?
00:10:08She's the only one who didn't throw herself at Mr. Sinclair.
00:10:17Thank you so much for the offer, but I can't accept the job.
00:10:22Whatever. Someone else would gladly take it at $20,000 per month.
00:10:31$20,000? That's more than I make in six months.
00:10:36Yes, for sure, I'd be honored to be Mr. Sinclair's secretary.
00:10:41But how the hell am I supposed to hide who I am from my boss when he's my actual boss?
00:10:49Did you find her?
00:10:50Miss Archer was just fired for having an affair with a guest.
00:10:54Apparently, it took place on the premises and involved booking a suite at the hotel.
00:10:58What guest?
00:10:59I think it's you, sir.
00:11:01The room you accidentally walked into when you were on your way to the hotel.
00:11:05What guest?
00:11:06I think it's you, sir.
00:11:08The room you accidentally walked into last night was booked in her name.
00:11:13She was fired because of me?
00:11:20Screw you, Christine!
00:11:23There's nothing wrong with sleeping with a rich guy.
00:11:26It's not my fault you can't get laid.
00:11:31Ava, did you lock yourself out again?
00:11:35Coming!
00:11:40Oh my God, what am I going to do?
00:11:53Can I help you?
00:11:55Oh my God, her eyes are bloodshot. She's been crying.
00:11:58Chloe, Miss Archer, I'm Edmund Sinclair. We met last night.
00:12:04Now is not a good time.
00:12:06I just wanted to apologize for your losing your job.
00:12:09I appreciate the apology, but I don't really know what else we have to talk about.
00:12:16Please, let me make it up to you.
00:12:22Are you going on a trip?
00:12:23What's he talking about?
00:12:25Oh, he thought I was leaving.
00:12:28Well, without a job, I can no longer pay the rent on my own.
00:12:33And I can't move home because my parents are dead.
00:12:38So I have to find a cheaper place by tomorrow.
00:12:41Listen, I appreciate you coming, but last night was a mistake.
00:12:46Let's just pretend it never happened.
00:12:49Besides, it's not like someone can magically give me my job back.
00:12:53Actually, I can. It's my hotel.
00:12:56Your hotel?
00:12:58Mr. Sinclair is the owner and new CEO.
00:13:02Oh my gosh, that's so embarrassing. I had no idea.
00:13:06I'd be happy to have you rehired.
00:13:08I can't work with Ava. She'll blow my cover.
00:13:10Thank you, but I don't think I can stand the gossip going back.
00:13:14I'd rather be homeless with my dignity.
00:13:18I just need to get back on my feet.
00:13:20Well, would you like to live with me?
00:13:24Just until you get a new job.
00:13:26Gone and good. Oscar worthy.
00:13:29Do you need to get that?
00:13:37Do you need to get that?
00:13:38Oh, I'm sure it's a telemarketer.
00:13:40He can't know I live with Ava.
00:13:42Actually, um, it's my sister.
00:13:45He can't know I live with Ava.
00:13:47Actually, um, it's my sister.
00:13:49She's just been so concerned about me since everything happened.
00:13:53One sec.
00:13:56Chloe, I just got promoted.
00:13:58Hey, I can't really talk right now. Can we catch up later?
00:14:00Wait, wait, are you home? I really want to celebrate with you.
00:14:03Yeah, I am. Okay, cool, bye.
00:14:13Do you live here with anyone?
00:14:14Nope, just me. Paying the rent all by myself.
00:14:21As I said, if you'd like to live with me, the offer stands.
00:14:35Oh my gosh, I'm moving in!
00:14:44I'm moving in!
00:15:14What's a car like that doing in our neighborhood?
00:15:18You became our CEO's secretary?
00:15:21Yeah, $20,000 per month.
00:15:24That's enough to cover my mom's medical bills.
00:15:26Just be careful.
00:15:28Women are disposable to rich guys like that.
00:15:31Who knows what he really wants.
00:15:34It's a little hypocritical, don't you think?
00:15:37How many times have I warned you about all the rich dudes you date and now you're giving me advice?
00:15:41I mean, I know he's a duke or whatever, but I'm just trying to protect you.
00:15:44Trying to protect me from the guy that was your target this morning?
00:15:48I was joking! I'm not interested in him anymore.
00:15:51I don't need some guy to pay my bills.
00:15:54Besides, I have good news too.
00:15:56I got a job, and I'm moving out!
00:15:59Really? What job? You weren't even looking, you just got fired.
00:16:04Wait, and why do you need to move out?
00:16:06Why are you questioning me? Why can't you just be happy for me?
00:16:09Yesterday you spent like three months salary on a room to bone some rich guy.
00:16:13Now there's a town car outside, and suddenly you have a new job and you're moving out.
00:16:18I think it's fair for me to be concerned.
00:16:20What the hell are you insinuating?
00:16:22You think I'm just another shameless gold digger like everybody else.
00:16:26You don't give a shit about me. I'm not a whore!
00:16:28I know! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Look, that's not what I meant. Let's just talk about it.
00:16:31I'm done. I'm done.
00:16:35Is that your new job?
00:16:39You know what? You just don't want me to move out because you're worried I won't pay you your precious money.
00:16:44Well, here.
00:16:51What's this?
00:16:53I paid for your little hotel room and cleaned up your mess with your special guest.
00:16:58I'm done with you.
00:17:03Good evening! Nurse Bailey, how's my mom?
00:17:05Your mother is fine. I'm calling because your mother's medical bill is nearly past due.
00:17:09If you don't pay in one week, we're going to have to release her.
00:17:12No! No, no, no. I'm sorry. I'll pay the entire balance as soon as possible. I promise you.
00:17:25Hey, Jackoff! Hold the elevator!
00:17:29Whoop whoop!
00:17:33I'm sorry, Ms. Grant. I'm not familiar with the American term, Jackoff, if you'd care to explain it to me.
00:17:40I'm sorry, Ms. Grant. I'm not familiar with the American term, Jackoff, if you'd care to explain it to me.
00:17:47Um, never mind. Good morning, Mr. Sinclair.
00:17:53I just got word from her that she's decided to move in.
00:17:56What should I introduce her to all the staff?
00:17:59Friends?
00:18:02He called the girl who's going to move into his house a friend? What a jerk.
00:18:08Richmen really are something. He slept with me and he had a girlfriend.
00:18:13Mr. Sinclair needs you to help his friend move.
00:18:17Asshole.
00:18:18Of course.
00:18:19Perfect chance to see what kind of woman this future duchess is.
00:18:24I'll confirm with her and send you her address.
00:18:30Hello.
00:18:31Ms. Archer, Mr. Sinclair's secretary will come to help you move. What time is convenient for you?
00:18:36His secretary? He means Ava!
00:18:39No need. I don't have much, so I can do it. Thanks, though. I'll see you soon.
00:18:45Oh my god, this is the last time I'm ever doing this myself.
00:18:53Welcome, Ms. Chloe.
00:18:55Ow! Oh my gosh!
00:19:05Could you guys...
00:19:08Sorry, I'm a bit off in my lane.
00:19:15I'm sorry.
00:19:17I'm sorry.
00:19:19I'm sorry.
00:19:20I'm sorry.
00:19:22I'm sorry.
00:19:26Can't wait for this fabulous new life.
00:19:31Hashtag...
00:19:33YOLO.
00:19:35Heart eyes emoji.
00:19:38Here we are. Your bedroom.
00:19:46This is Edmund's bedroom?
00:19:48No.
00:19:49But I'm supposed to be living with Edmund.
00:19:51Oh, I'm sorry, miss. The duke asked that you stay in this wing. His quarters are off-limits to you.
00:19:57Well, that's nonsense.
00:20:00What are you still doing here?
00:20:03Actually...
00:20:06Draw me a bath and Instacart me a green juice.
00:20:09No.
00:20:10No.
00:20:17I don't know how you do business over there, but here, once the deal memo is signed, there's no turning back.
00:20:24You either move forward to the final agreement within one week or pay the penalty, which is $20 million.
00:20:33Those are the options.
00:20:35Oh my god!
00:20:36What are you doing? You can't even deliver coffee. Get out!
00:20:40Oh, I'm sorry? His shirt is worth more than you. Stupid idiot.
00:20:45My apologies. Are you burned? Do we need to call an EMT?
00:20:48I'm fine. It's not her fault.
00:20:51Christine, speak to my secretary that way again. It'll be fine.
00:20:55She answers to me, not you. Be clear.
00:20:59I'm really sorry, sir.
00:21:03Sorry about your coffee. I'm Clifford Harrington, and you're...?
00:21:08Eva Grant.
00:21:10I apologize again about your shirt. Please, let me get it dry-cleaned.
00:21:16Is there something wrong, Mr. Harrington?
00:21:18No. You just remind me of someone.
00:21:22Eva Grant, is it?
00:21:24Yes, Mr. Harrington.
00:21:28I don't mean to speak out of turn, but when I was listening to the meeting, something dawned on me.
00:21:36Go ahead.
00:21:37Even though JPG Chains may not acquire M-Hotel, we could still be close partners.
00:21:43There may be something to salvage here.
00:21:45What the hell do you know about corporate partnerships?
00:21:49I apologize. She is not qualified to even be in here. She should be a janitor.
00:21:55Wanted, Christine.
00:21:56And willing to come back to the table.
00:21:59But only to hear Ms. Grant's proposal.
00:22:05What the fuck?
00:22:07No, no. Mr. Harrington, there is nothing to discuss. We have signed a deal memo.
00:22:13It is too late to back out of the acquisition.
00:22:16Things change.
00:22:18You mean to tell me you're willing to walk away from the hotel acquisition?
00:22:24If I see a collaboration plan I can't refuse, yes.
00:22:30In that case, we'll do our very best to provide you with a plan that satisfies you.
00:22:35Won't we, Ms. Grant?
00:22:37Of course, Mr. Harrington.
00:22:44Amazing job, Ava.
00:22:46Why did Clifford change his mind because of my secretary?
00:22:49I'll see you soon.
00:22:51I'll go.
00:22:55You little bitch. You just killed my promotion.
00:22:59I swear I'm going to make your life a living hell.
00:23:02You will be scrubbing toilets when I'm done with you.
00:23:08I'm sorry.
00:23:18It can't be.
00:23:20Vic, where are you?
00:23:27Mr. Green, one of our shareholders, is throwing a party at 8pm tonight.
00:23:31Ms. Sinclair would like you to go with him.
00:23:33As his driver?
00:23:35His guest.
00:23:38Mr. Green, allow me to introduce Ms. Ava Grant.
00:23:42Edmund, nice to meet you.
00:23:45I didn't know you were bringing your girlfriend.
00:23:48No, no, I'm not his...
00:23:50Ms. Grant is my secretary.
00:23:52Oh, lucky for me.
00:23:54Well, I know this is a work event, so you can still have a good time.
00:23:57Oh, trust me, you don't want to see me drink.
00:24:00Oh no, I do.
00:24:02Since we're going to be working together, I think we should get a chance to know each other.
00:24:06Now, if you can out-drink me, Ms. Grant, I'll agree to work exclusively with M Hotels.
00:24:26If that bet stands, then I'll do all the drinking tonight for Ms. Sinclair.
00:24:31Now, if you'll excuse me, Ms. Grant, we would like to discuss the Oasis project in Vegas.
00:24:44Mr. Sinclair, are you okay?
00:24:47Look, I know you were trying to protect me and the Brits can drink,
00:24:50but if you can't handle your liquor, you should really stop.
00:24:53You were at least functional last time.
00:24:56What do you mean, last time?
00:24:57Sorry, sir?
00:24:59You said the last time you saw me drunk.
00:25:02Now you're just drunk and making things up.
00:25:05We should really get you home.
00:25:10Oh, come on.
00:25:12Let's get you inside.
00:25:20I'm going to get you some water.
00:25:22Okay?
00:25:23You smell nice.
00:25:25I have to go.
00:25:27Good night.
00:25:33Mr. Sinclair.
00:25:40You little slut.
00:25:45I'm sorry.
00:25:47I'm sorry.
00:25:49I'm sorry.
00:25:51I'm sorry.
00:25:54Have a good night.
00:25:56Ava.
00:25:59I didn't think you had it in you, Ava.
00:26:02Stealing my man in my home.
00:26:10It's okay, sweetie.
00:26:12I won't beat you.
00:26:14You don't smell right.
00:26:17What do you mean? It's me.
00:26:19Your girlfriend.
00:26:20Your girlfriend?
00:26:22That's stupid, isn't it?
00:26:29You're not my girlfriend.
00:26:31Alright?
00:26:33You're here out of my kindness.
00:26:35And when you get a job, you're out.
00:26:37Do you understand?
00:26:44Chloe!
00:26:46Are you home?
00:26:48Oh my god!
00:26:50She moved out?
00:26:53Smell right?
00:26:55What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:57This is designer perfume.
00:26:59There's only like 500 bottles in the world.
00:27:05What's up?
00:27:07Chloe, where are you?
00:27:09I told you I moved.
00:27:11I didn't think you were serious.
00:27:13Actually, I have a question for you.
00:27:15I'm looking for a new perfume.
00:27:17And I always really liked yours.
00:27:20Uh, what do you wear?
00:27:22Where'd you get it?
00:27:24Um, I think it's like some generic brand.
00:27:27I think I got it at Nordstrom Rack.
00:27:29Well, could you send me a picture?
00:27:31I'm sorry we fought.
00:27:33I really miss you.
00:27:35But wearing your perfume makes me think of you.
00:27:37Maybe we'll let Ava smell.
00:27:39I miss you too.
00:27:41Okay, perfect.
00:27:43Well, I gotta go. I'm really tired. Bye.
00:27:45Hello?
00:27:48What is going on with her?
00:27:54Ava, you're too easy.
00:27:56Nordstrom Rack? This is trash.
00:27:58Why does Esme even like him?
00:28:00Good night, madam.
00:28:02Oh, you.
00:28:04I need this perfume on my bedside table when I wake up.
00:28:07But stores are closed.
00:28:09That's a you problem.
00:28:18Good morning, Mrs. Sinclair.
00:28:20James?
00:28:22Are you alright?
00:28:25Ah, I was bitten by my dog last night.
00:28:28Just rough housing.
00:28:30I didn't know you had a dog, sir.
00:28:32I guess I'm the dog.
00:28:34Woof, asshole.
00:28:36You know what they say, Mr. Sinclair.
00:28:38Dogs don't bite people unless they're provoked.
00:28:48What are we talking about?
00:28:58Hey.
00:29:00You.
00:29:02Go fetch me my package from the mail room.
00:29:05You deaf?
00:29:07Receptionist, I'm talking to you.
00:29:09Bossy.
00:29:11You know she's clumsy and useless.
00:29:13Are you sure you didn't want her to grab your package?
00:29:15Probably has a disease.
00:29:18Miss Bernard.
00:29:20First of all, I'm no longer the receptionist.
00:29:23Secondly, I don't take orders from you anymore.
00:29:27You have your own secretary.
00:29:29So I suggest you ask her.
00:29:31Bravo.
00:29:33You've been the CEO's secretary for three days.
00:29:36You think you can talk to me like that?
00:29:38Get out of my way.
00:29:40I heard about your mom.
00:29:42If you get fired, they're going to have to unplug all those machines.
00:29:44And she'll die.
00:29:45It must be shitty having a daughter like you.
00:29:48One more word about my mom and I swear to God I'll slap you.
00:29:51I dare you.
00:29:53You ungrateful little bitch.
00:29:55Christine will have to fire you.
00:29:57She'll have no choice.
00:29:59Let's test it.
00:30:05She hit me.
00:30:07Fire her.
00:30:09Unfortunately, I can't right now.
00:30:12But let's be realistic.
00:30:13That fop of a man is on vacation.
00:30:16And when he goes back to England, you are fired.
00:30:19And then we get unplugged.
00:30:22How am I going to get fired if you get fired first?
00:30:26What would Mr. Sinclair do if he found out you negotiated a VP job with JPG Chains
00:30:32while you still collect money from his company?
00:30:36You shameless slut.
00:30:39You reek of desperation.
00:30:44I think you need a shower.
00:30:46Don't you agree?
00:30:58What's going on?
00:31:00Nothing.
00:31:02Crap. I forgot I have to turn in this report. I've got to go.
00:31:05Follow me.
00:31:09I keep these here for after I go to the gym.
00:31:11I'm really fine. It's not necessary.
00:31:24Mr. Sinclair.
00:31:26Thank you, Mr. Sinclair, for your help.
00:31:34Am I interrupting something?
00:31:36Don't you have to knock?
00:31:42So who's this rich guy Chloe's marrying?
00:31:49Marrying?
00:31:51She said she found a new job and moved out.
00:31:54Wait, you didn't know?
00:31:56Oh my god, you have to look at this.
00:31:58It's so hilarious.
00:32:01Why does this house look familiar?
00:32:04I'm sure all rich people's houses look similar.
00:32:07Look at her feed. It's like all over.
00:32:10What the hell?
00:32:12She blocked me.
00:32:15What?
00:32:17That's weird.
00:32:19You know what?
00:32:21She's definitely going to be at our class reunion.
00:32:24I know you hated school, but you should come with.
00:32:28Go talk to her. Find out what the hell is going on.
00:32:35It's amazing.
00:32:37Oh my god.
00:32:42Is that Ava Grant?
00:32:44I thought she was too cool for these things.
00:32:46Hey, Ava. I heard you finally got a position at M Hotel.
00:32:50Congrats.
00:32:52The M Hotel? Isn't that owned by the aristocracy?
00:32:55What are you doing, Ava?
00:32:57Don't get too excited. She's just a receptionist.
00:33:00Don't be so rude.
00:33:02A receptionist is a perfectly good position for someone who isn't intelligent and wants to sleep her way to the top.
00:33:09Wow. So is that what you think of me too, Julianne?
00:33:12You know what? Why don't you just shut the fuck up, both of you.
00:33:16Ava's the CEO's secretary now.
00:33:18She's making more money in a month than you both are making in a year.
00:33:21Really? So I guess you did sleep your way to the top.
00:33:25Doesn't surprise me.
00:33:27Makes sense, since you were voted most likely to lie on her back in high school.
00:33:31Okay. Hey.
00:33:33Julianne, you were a horrible bitter bitch in high school, and you're a horrible bitter bitch now.
00:33:41Shit, Ava. You've got an attitude now.
00:33:45Bet you got that from your bestie, Chloe, eh?
00:33:48Hey, where is she anyway?
00:33:50Probably posting pictures of her Louis on Insta. She's so fake.
00:33:53I bet all those photos are staged.
00:33:55You know, you two are the perfect pair.
00:33:57Trash that grew up to be trash.
00:34:00Okay, look, Julianne, the only reason you're acting this way is because you missed us.
00:34:06Your life was so fucking boring, you had to make it exciting by bullying us.
00:34:11I guess it's still boring.
00:34:13Did your husband leave you because you're such a fucking boring bitch?
00:34:18Long time no see, everyone.
00:34:28Who the hell are you?
00:34:30Chloe? Chloe?
00:34:34I brought gifts for everyone. I hope you like them.
00:34:42Is this a limited edition Hermes scarf?
00:34:46I can't believe it.
00:34:47Chloe, what happened to you? You look beautiful.
00:34:50Stunning!
00:34:51And elegant. Wow.
00:34:54Tell us, what's going on?
00:34:56I just...
00:34:58Got a new job.
00:35:00I love your Insta.
00:35:02Are you actually living in a mansion with maids?
00:35:08I have to ask, are you with a billionaire?
00:35:14Well, I like to keep my private life private.
00:35:18He's actually a trillionaire.
00:35:19A trillionaire?
00:35:21Oh my god! I always knew you'd amount to something special.
00:35:26Come with me.
00:35:28Where the hell are you taking me?
00:35:30What the hell are you doing?
00:35:32You're with a billionaire?
00:35:34A trillionaire, actually. And he's everything I deserve.
00:35:38Why did you lie to me?
00:35:40I didn't want you to feel bad because he's everything you ever wanted.
00:35:45You know I don't care about the money.
00:35:47I paid our entire rent for years.
00:35:50Wow, are you really asking me for money right now?
00:35:52Just give me a number, I'll pay whatever to get you to shut up.
00:35:54That's not what I'm saying.
00:35:56You're just jealous.
00:35:58Look, let's be realistic.
00:36:00We're different types of people.
00:36:02I'm rich, you're poor.
00:36:04You don't really have anything in common.
00:36:07So you're sleeping with some rich guy, and suddenly I'm beneath you?
00:36:11You've always been beneath me.
00:36:13You know what?
00:36:15You're right.
00:36:17We're not the same kind of people.
00:36:20You're right.
00:36:22We're not the same kind of people.
00:36:34Oh fuck, this even smells cheap.
00:36:42What?
00:36:59What the hell are you doing here?
00:37:01Eddie, you're here.
00:37:04Chloe, I thought I made it clear.
00:37:06You're not to enter my personal space.
00:37:07I'm sorry.
00:37:09I was just so exhausted after job hunting all day,
00:37:12and I didn't want to be alone in my big empty room.
00:37:15So I came in here to talk to you and apologize,
00:37:18and I guess I fell asleep.
00:37:22I'm too tired to move.
00:37:25Will you carry me back please?
00:37:27A scent.
00:37:29He likes my scent.
00:37:31Fine.
00:37:33It's getting late.
00:37:34I need to sleep.
00:37:37You don't really want to sleep, do you?
00:37:43Go back to your room.
00:37:47Wait.
00:37:54Were you wearing a pair of blue earrings that night?
00:37:57Blue earrings?
00:38:00I mean, I might have a pair,
00:38:02but with everything that's happened,
00:38:04the move and getting settled in,
00:38:05I'm not totally sure why do you ask?
00:38:11You can go now.
00:38:13Emily, please escort Ms. Archer to her room.
00:38:18Chloe,
00:38:20you're a guest in this house.
00:38:22You're to stay out of my private quarters.
00:38:24Is that clear?
00:38:26Dammit, why did you get so weird over earrings?
00:38:36Ava, you scheming bitch.
00:38:39You left your earring for him to find.
00:38:41Do you think we're playing Cinderella?
00:38:43Well, it's midnight.
00:38:45Ball's over, bitch.
00:38:49We need to talk.
00:38:51Now.
00:38:53I'm sorry.
00:38:55I'm sorry.
00:38:57I'm sorry.
00:38:59I'm sorry.
00:39:01I'm sorry.
00:39:03I'm sorry.
00:39:05I may be poor,
00:39:07but I still pay the rent.
00:39:09Hand over the key.
00:39:11I'm sorry.
00:39:13Look, we both said things that we didn't mean yesterday.
00:39:16I didn't tell you about my boyfriend
00:39:18because I didn't want you to worry.
00:39:20That's not all.
00:39:22Why else are you here?
00:39:24To apologize.
00:39:26Look,
00:39:28I brought a peace offering.
00:39:32I accept your apology,
00:39:33but you know I don't care about that stuff.
00:39:36I care about you.
00:39:38I'm a lot more stable now,
00:39:40and I can cover the rent.
00:39:42What does our CEO have you doing
00:39:44that you're making so much money?
00:39:46What you working on?
00:39:48Just this presentation I've been working on
00:39:50for over a week.
00:39:52We have a super important meeting this afternoon
00:39:54with JPG's chairman.
00:39:56My boss asked me to handle it.
00:39:58Wow, sounds like you're his right hand,
00:40:00not just his secretary.
00:40:01I guess.
00:40:03It would be the dream job
00:40:05if Christine would stop picking on me.
00:40:07She keeps trying to get me fired.
00:40:09She is?
00:40:11I mean, that's terrible.
00:40:13Can she even do that?
00:40:24Not if Edmund has my back.
00:40:27You're calling him Edmund?
00:40:29Wow,
00:40:31you've been calling for him, haven't you?
00:40:33I mean,
00:40:35royal title doesn't make him a good guy.
00:40:37Just be careful, Ava.
00:40:39He's just my boss.
00:40:41That's all.
00:40:43And besides, he has a girlfriend.
00:40:45So?
00:40:47Oh, I just got this new dress
00:40:49that would go perfectly with those blue earrings
00:40:51your mom got you for Christmas.
00:40:53Could I borrow them?
00:40:55You're living the high life now.
00:40:57Why do you want my earrings?
00:40:59And I only have one left, unfortunately.
00:41:02Okay.
00:41:04We're back.
00:41:15Okay.
00:41:17Okay, please,
00:41:19make sure to give it back to me.
00:41:21It means a lot.
00:41:23Yeah, of course.
00:41:25Well, I've got to go.
00:41:27You know what?
00:41:29You use that limit.
00:41:31It makes sense.
00:41:33It reminds me of you.
00:41:35Okay.
00:41:37Sure.
00:41:51Who the hell are you?
00:41:57Is this some sort of revenge thing for firing you?
00:41:59I'm calling security.
00:42:01No need.
00:42:03My boyfriend owns the place.
00:42:06Boyfriend?
00:42:08Yeah.
00:42:10I'm Edmund Sinclair's live-in girlfriend.
00:42:15You're delusional.
00:42:17I told you.
00:42:19I'm Edmund Sinclair's live-in girlfriend.
00:42:23Okay.
00:42:26So what brings you here, Miss Archer?
00:42:29Thought that would change the tenor of this conversation.
00:42:32I heard you want to get rid of Ava Grant.
00:42:35And I heard the two of you were best friends.
00:42:37Not anymore.
00:42:39She seduced Edmund last night in our living room.
00:42:41I knew there was something up with her.
00:42:44What can I do? Edmund will never let me fire her.
00:42:47Well, he can't protect her if she keeps messing up her job.
00:42:51I have a feeling that today's important meeting
00:42:55may be a little more dramatic than expected.
00:43:00We'll now have Miss Grant present the strategy-collaboration plan
00:43:04between Imhotel and JBGG.
00:43:15What? No, it's gone!
00:43:18After today, no one will be able to stop me from becoming the Duchess.
00:43:30I'm sorry.
00:43:33The presentation I worked on is gone.
00:43:36What do you mean it's gone?
00:43:39I don't know. It's my fault.
00:43:42It's not your fault.
00:43:44It's our fault.
00:43:46We're allowing an entry-level employee
00:43:48to participate in our daily management.
00:43:51You've damaged our reputation in front of our valuable partner
00:43:54and you've probably cost us millions of dollars.
00:43:56I'm sorry, Ava, but you are fired.
00:43:59Christine, let her finish the presentation.
00:44:04Let her finish the presentation.
00:44:07Mr. Harrington, how can she even...
00:44:10I said let her finish the presentation.
00:44:15It's okay, kid. You've prepared.
00:44:18You can present without the files.
00:44:20What we have here is an opportunity
00:44:23for both of our companies to grow together.
00:44:26What the fuck?
00:44:28Why is Mr. Harrington on her side every time?
00:44:31And through the symbiotic relationship,
00:44:34we'll not only give our guests the best possible experience,
00:44:37but increase profit margins in ways we couldn't possibly imagine.
00:44:42Well, Mr. Harrington, I hope that our proposal was helpful.
00:44:45Very impressive.
00:44:47I can go with it.
00:44:49But only with one condition.
00:44:53She handles all the details.
00:44:59Of course.
00:45:01From now on, Ava will be in charge of the entire collaboration project.
00:45:04She'll be in charge of all the details.
00:45:07She'll be in charge of all the details.
00:45:09From now on, Ava will be in charge of the entire collaboration project.
00:45:17Young lady, you have a bright future ahead of you.
00:45:20I really appreciate it, Mr. Harrington.
00:45:23Sir, I don't mean to speak out of turn,
00:45:26but I don't have much experience.
00:45:28Why do you want me to take this on?
00:45:30Because I see the potential in you.
00:45:33And you remind me of my daughter.
00:45:36Does she work at the company?
00:45:37No, I haven't seen her in years.
00:45:41I thought after my son's accident she would resurface.
00:45:45I've tried to find her,
00:45:47but I think she stays away from me because she hates me.
00:45:53I doubt that.
00:45:55I think if you're meant to find each other, you will.
00:46:00I hope so.
00:46:01I hope so.
00:46:04Would I be fortunate enough to invite you to dinner sometime, Miss Ava?
00:46:10Of course.
00:46:12It would be my honor.
00:46:23Hey, stop thinking about it.
00:46:26I'm taking you out to eat to celebrate the deal with Clifford.
00:46:28Pick anything you want.
00:46:31Anything?
00:46:33Of course.
00:46:35I'll drive, so you don't change your mind.
00:46:43How'd it go? Is she gone for good?
00:46:46No.
00:46:48She's actually become the project leader,
00:46:50and your boyfriend's taken her out to celebrate.
00:46:52What the hell?
00:46:54Just the two of them?
00:46:56Don't resort to murder just yet.
00:47:00I have another idea.
00:47:03Hey, we've arrived.
00:47:06You sure we're in the right place?
00:47:08I don't see many restaurants.
00:47:13This is my favorite restaurant.
00:47:17Oh.
00:47:20Sorry, I didn't realize you meant something so down to earth.
00:47:25Excuse me?
00:47:26Excuse me?
00:47:28These are the best tacos in L.A.
00:47:30You may have dined with royalty, but you've never had these.
00:47:33Every time something happy would happen, my mom would bring me here.
00:47:40No way.
00:47:42Is it your first time having a taco?
00:47:45I suppose today will be my first time.
00:47:48Well, then there's a first time for everything you embrace.
00:47:52Let's go.
00:47:56My lady?
00:48:01Hello.
00:48:03Yes.
00:48:17I'll handle this.
00:48:19Okay.
00:48:21What would you like?
00:48:23Whatever you order.
00:48:24I'd like to place an order for four of your finest carnivorous tacos, please.
00:48:30Four carnation tacos, two fish tacos, and two barbacoa tacos, please.
00:48:38How many people are you feeding?
00:48:40Just the two of us.
00:48:42Is that not enough food?
00:48:44Unless your girlfriend hasn't eaten in a week.
00:48:47I'm not his girlfriend.
00:48:50He's just my boss.
00:48:52Girl, what are you waiting for?
00:48:54What if he's your boss?
00:48:56If I was your age, I'd snatch him.
00:49:01Where do I swipe this?
00:49:05Are you serious?
00:49:10Here you go.
00:49:12He's your boyfriend or boss or whatever.
00:49:15Prince of England?
00:49:18Kind of.
00:49:20Oh, then I'd definitely back him now.
00:49:22What are you laughing about?
00:49:24Nothing.
00:49:26Slightly embarrassing. I've never let a woman pay for my meal before.
00:49:31Here you go.
00:49:36Well, go ahead and enjoy your first meal paid for by a woman.
00:49:43Cheers.
00:49:45Oh my, it appears I made a mess of myself.
00:49:50You know what to do.
00:49:53Mmm.
00:50:00You're actually fun when you're out of the office.
00:50:03Well, now I know what you really think of me.
00:50:05I must say, this barbacoa does seem interesting.
00:50:09It's barbacoa and you'll love it.
00:50:12Barbacoa?
00:50:22Can I ask why you're so determined to keep this hotel?
00:50:28Well, my dad let my mum design one of our hotels.
00:50:33And this was the one.
00:50:36She poured all her love into it.
00:50:40It was the last and only hotel she ever designed before she passed.
00:50:45I used to ride around the lobby on the roller carts.
00:50:52I'm sorry.
00:50:55I know what it feels like to lose someone you love.
00:51:00My mum.
00:51:03She has late stage brain cancer.
00:51:06And she's barely awake now.
00:51:14Can I have a bite of that?
00:51:17No.
00:51:20It's mine!
00:51:22No!
00:51:43That's not right.
00:51:45Do you have a girlfriend?
00:51:47She's not my girlfriend.
00:51:48My girlfriend.
00:51:51Then why does she live in your house?
00:51:54It's complicated.
00:51:59Have you changed up a few?
00:52:02How did you know?
00:52:04It was a gift from a friend.
00:52:06My mum always told me that I had the sense of smell of Wilbur.
00:52:11Wilbur?
00:52:12Our dog.
00:52:15Well, I'll take that as a compliment.
00:52:24Were you with a woman that night?
00:52:27In the hotel room?
00:52:30I...
00:52:33No.
00:52:34No, I don't know what you mean.
00:52:38In the presidential suite.
00:52:42I leave work every day.
00:52:45I'm not going to be renting presidential suites.
00:52:51Well, I guess I was wrong then.
00:53:02This is the necklace I had custom made for Vic's twelfth birthday.
00:53:06How does Ava have it?
00:53:08Find out who she really is.
00:53:16You're back!
00:53:17Look, I made you shots. Try one, tell me what you like.
00:53:23What's that?
00:53:24Oh, the earring.
00:53:26I was so out of it when you asked me about it last night.
00:53:28I totally forgot what you were talking about.
00:53:31You remember it, don't you?
00:53:32I was wearing them the night we met.
00:53:35I lost the other one, but I figured it symbolized our meeting,
00:53:38so I thought I'd wear it anyway.
00:53:40You like me?
00:53:41No, it was you.
00:53:43What do you mean?
00:53:44Nothing.
00:53:46Wait here.
00:53:48Now you have no reason to doubt me.
00:53:55You found it! Oh my gosh, this is like a real fairy tale.
00:53:58The prince putting his glass slipper on his true Cinderella.
00:54:02Can you put it on me?
00:54:04So they can be reunited like you and me.
00:54:14Chloe, I offered you a place to stay here temporarily.
00:54:19You've been here a month, I think you should move out.
00:54:22What's wrong? Why are you being so cold?
00:54:25I lost my job because of you.
00:54:27I offered to give you a new one.
00:54:30I'd like you to leave first thing tomorrow morning.
00:54:33You want me and the baby out? Fine, we'll leave tomorrow.
00:54:37Wait a minute, what do you mean baby?
00:54:41I'm pregnant.
00:54:43What?
00:54:48Miss Chloe, you're absolutely fine. Just take some rest.
00:54:52I'll be fine once I have an ultrasound and a positive pregnancy test.
00:54:59I'll see to it the test results are sent to you.
00:55:06How is this possible?
00:55:08How is this possible?
00:55:11We were together once.
00:55:13I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to freak out.
00:55:16I'm fully prepared to take care of this baby on my own.
00:55:19If you still want to see me, we'll leave tomorrow.
00:55:21It's okay, just stay here comfortably. I'll have the staff look after you.
00:55:29What I really want is for you to take care of me.
00:55:33I want it to be like the night we met.
00:55:36I need time.
00:55:39For God's sake, what the hell does it take?
00:55:45Okay, what was so urgent that I needed to get here right away?
00:55:48Avert Harrington from JPG has invited Ava to a private dinner at his house tonight.
00:55:56What? Why?
00:55:57Exactly.
00:55:58Why would a stubborn asshole who's been hell-bent on acquiring a motel suddenly change his attitude?
00:56:05Over that bitch.
00:56:08Because what's between her legs, that's why.
00:56:13I can't believe she'd be that low.
00:56:16Clinging onto Edmund and now seducing Clifford?
00:56:18He's old enough to be her grandfather.
00:56:21Soon the whole world will know she's a whore.
00:56:24Kate's already following.
00:56:26Mom, I...
00:56:28I think I've fallen for someone I shouldn't.
00:56:32When I was young, I fell in love with a man no one wanted me to be with.
00:56:38Dad?
00:56:40But he was the perfect guy.
00:56:42He was.
00:56:44And he was our family's driver.
00:56:48Wait.
00:56:50What?
00:56:51He was our family's driver.
00:56:54Wait.
00:56:56Why did you have a driver?
00:56:58I never told you this.
00:57:00I was born into a wealthy family.
00:57:03When I ran away with your father, I gave up everything.
00:57:09But I never regretted it for a second.
00:57:13So Ava, if you love someone, be brave.
00:57:18And if you need help being brave,
00:57:22just look at that lock.
00:57:25I'll always be with you.
00:57:27Don't say that.
00:57:29You're with me now.
00:57:33Mr. Harrington?
00:57:35What are you doing here?
00:57:44Mr. Harrington?
00:57:45What are you doing here?
00:57:49Victoria.
00:57:51Dad?
00:57:57I'm so sorry.
00:57:59I shouldn't have kicked you off like that.
00:58:03I'm sorry we lost so much time.
00:58:06Mom, what's going on?
00:58:11He's your grandpa, Ava.
00:58:15This is for the best.
00:58:18When I'm gone, you'll have each other to rely on.
00:58:26You're going to be okay.
00:58:28I've arranged for the best cancer treatment team in the country.
00:58:35Thank you, Mr. Harrington.
00:58:38No more Mr. Harrington.
00:58:42Grandpa.
00:58:47Oh my God.
00:58:48It's actually true.
00:58:50He's meeting her mother?
00:58:56I've been here for a while.
00:58:57It's really comfortable.
00:58:59That house up there is beautiful.
00:59:00Yeah, it is.
00:59:01The fountain over here.
00:59:08It's still surreal how I found you two.
00:59:12You know, Ava,
00:59:13I'd like you to inherit JPG.
00:59:17And we should make our relationship public.
00:59:22I appreciate it.
00:59:23But I'm not ready for everyone to know.
00:59:26And besides, I'm not ready to leave Emma Hotel just yet.
00:59:30You mean you're not ready to leave Edmond.
00:59:35I understand.
00:59:38Just let me know when you're ready.
00:59:41Book two flights to Seattle.
00:59:43We have a visit with a partnering hotel.
00:59:46We?
00:59:47You're going with me.
00:59:50You're going with me.
00:59:52Gotcha.
01:00:11Okay.
01:00:24Wait.
01:00:26What happened?
01:00:38Don't tell me we...
01:00:39We what?
01:00:40You accidentally slept with your boss twice in a month?
01:00:43What is wrong with you?
01:00:47Whatever happened last night, just forget about it.
01:00:51You don't remember what happened last night?
01:00:57Watch your step.
01:00:59Do you have your key?
01:01:00Mm-hmm.
01:01:03All right, off we go.
01:01:04Up!
01:01:05Mm-hmm.
01:01:06All right.
01:01:09Oh, no.
01:01:12Oh, no.
01:01:15Ava.
01:01:18Ava, what are you doing?
01:01:20Just get comfortable.
01:01:27Ava, we really shouldn't...
01:01:28Shh.
01:01:32Handsome.
01:01:34Looks like my night just got better.
01:01:37Ava, what are you saying?
01:01:39Come on, Eddie.
01:01:42Do you like to kill?
01:01:52Ava?
01:01:56Ava.
01:02:01No, no, no.
01:02:02No, no, no.
01:02:05No, no, no.
01:02:08I'm really sorry.
01:02:10Okay, but so we didn't...
01:02:13We didn't.
01:02:15We did the other time.
01:02:17What?
01:02:21I'm not sure what you're talking about.
01:02:28Looks like my night just got better.
01:02:30Looks like my night just got better.
01:02:32Do you like tequila?
01:02:34Do you like tequila?
01:02:38You were the mysterious woman that night.
01:02:41That Mr. Sinclair?
01:02:43I think you're having me confused with someone else.
01:02:46I think I'd remember if we, you know...
01:02:53Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.
01:02:56I've been trying to ignore my feelings, but...
01:03:00I can't.
01:03:02I care about you, Ava.
01:03:04I care about you, Ava.
01:03:07More than I should.
01:03:10We shouldn't.
01:03:11Why shouldn't we?
01:03:12You know why.
01:03:14I just want to be with you.
01:03:16To talk to you.
01:03:17To dream beside you.
01:03:20To explore your life.
01:03:24Above all, to shield you from the sorrows of this world.
01:03:30You're not single, Edmund.
01:03:33What am I supposed to do?
01:03:35Be your mistress?
01:03:36What about your girlfriend?
01:03:39What about your girlfriend?
01:03:42She's...
01:03:43I'm pregnant.
01:03:47It's complicated.
01:03:51So then this isn't happening.
01:03:54And the only relationship between us is professional.
01:03:58No.
01:03:59Excuse me, Edmund.
01:04:03No.
01:04:07I'll have your shirt dry-cleaned, sir.
01:04:13Edmund hasn't been in the house for two days.
01:04:15Do you know where he is?
01:04:16You should probably ask your best friend.
01:04:18She's traveling with him.
01:04:21What the hell? They're together all the time now.
01:04:23Probably sharing a hotel room this very moment.
01:04:28You horny slut.
01:04:29It's none of your screwing, Clifford.
01:04:30Now you have to have Edmund too?
01:04:33Um, ma'am.
01:04:34That vase was acquired by Mr. Sinclair at an auction.
01:04:37For two million dollars.
01:04:40I don't give a shit.
01:04:53Ow!
01:04:54Why'd you make it so hot?
01:04:56Stupid me.
01:05:00What have you done?
01:05:03What have you done?
01:05:04Have you lost your mind?
01:05:05Oh my god, Edmund, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
01:05:09Pregnancy hormones, you know?
01:05:11I just get so sad when you're not home.
01:05:14Where have you been?
01:05:16On a business trip.
01:05:17With that little bitch.
01:05:19You know, I think it's time that we talk about our future.
01:05:22I think we should get married as soon as possible.
01:05:24For the baby.
01:05:25I've had a long day of traveling.
01:05:27I need some rest.
01:05:31Emily, where's my vase?
01:05:34I'm afraid...
01:05:37I'm afraid madam knocked it over.
01:05:41It wasn't intentional. I was just holding it in my face.
01:05:46Ridiculous.
01:05:52Smirk all you want, dumbass maid.
01:05:54I'll fire you when I'm the duchess.
01:06:03I heard the only reason she became host of our annual press conference
01:06:07is because she went on a business trip with the CEO.
01:06:10The bitch was definitely in that business.
01:06:14She's ruthless.
01:06:16Doesn't she care that he has a girlfriend?
01:06:19No.
01:06:20She even seduced him right in front of her.
01:06:23And there's something else about her.
01:06:27Somewhere, she hooked up J.P.G.'s chairman.
01:06:33No fucking way.
01:06:37That's gross.
01:06:39I'd be sick if it was hot.
01:06:45Mr. Sinclair, you wanted to see me?
01:06:48Yes, it's for you.
01:06:51What's this for?
01:06:52Today's a big day.
01:06:54You're leading the press conference.
01:06:56So you should look the part.
01:07:01Wow.
01:07:02This is gorgeous.
01:07:04I've never worn anything this beautiful.
01:07:06Good.
01:07:07Wear it and nail the press conference.
01:07:09I will, sir.
01:07:12This just came from Mr. Harrington.
01:07:14Poor Eva.
01:07:17Apparently, Mr. Harrington also thinks I dress too plainly.
01:07:22Go get ready.
01:07:23We're starting in an hour.
01:07:29Sir, why is Harrington sending your secretary gifts?
01:07:32It's a little strange.
01:07:36I don't pay you to gossip, James.
01:07:41Photographic evidence is what we need.
01:07:44Photographic evidence is much more impactful.
01:07:53All of the shareholders will be at the press conference this afternoon.
01:07:58We will make sure Eva is destroyed.
01:08:02Once this gets out, Clifford Harrington will have no choice but to distance himself from Eva to protect his reputation.
01:08:08And Edmund will be done with her.
01:08:11Well, in that case, there is no need for the disguise, Duchess.
01:08:16Your competition is about to lose.
01:08:19And your position is secure.
01:08:24Chloe!
01:08:26What are you doing here?
01:08:29I was just here for lunch.
01:08:32At our office building?
01:08:34Why didn't you tell me? We could catch up.
01:08:37Wait.
01:08:38How do you have both of my earrings?
01:08:40I only lent you one.
01:08:42I lost the other one that night at the hotel with Edmund.
01:08:52I'll take this off your hands.
01:08:54It reminds me of you.
01:08:56I paid for your little hotel room and cleaned up your mess with your special guest.
01:09:01You're with a millionaire?
01:09:02A trillionaire, actually.
01:09:04I didn't want you to feel bad because he's everything you ever wanted.
01:09:08It was you.
01:09:11You're the girl who moved in with Edmund.
01:09:13That's what Edmund said.
01:09:15That he mistook someone else for me.
01:09:17You've been pretending to be me since that night.
01:09:20I have to tell him.
01:09:21Eva, Eva, Eva, listen to me.
01:09:23It was an accident.
01:09:25I...
01:09:26I was trying to help you.
01:09:28And we fell for each other.
01:09:30I wish I could give you everything back, but...
01:09:33It's complicated now.
01:09:35It's complicated now.
01:09:37It's not just about you.
01:09:39I'm done taking care of you.
01:09:42I'm having this baby.
01:09:45You're pregnant?
01:09:46Please, please don't tell him the truth.
01:09:49If you do, he's gonna leave me and the baby and I can't be a single mom.
01:09:53I don't know how to do that.
01:09:55Chloe, you're such a fool.
01:09:57This is the only thing I've ever wanted.
01:10:00Please, please take care of him like you always do.
01:10:05Please let me have him.
01:10:09I promise I won't tell him.
01:10:12I'll quit after the press conference and I'll never see him again.
01:10:16You can have him.
01:10:21I'm so, so sorry about everything that I've done to you.
01:10:26You'll always be my best friend.
01:10:30I love you.
01:10:51Is that the same secretary?
01:10:55Miss Grant looks absolutely incredible today.
01:10:59She's wearing the dress sent by Mr. Harrington.
01:11:05First off, I want to thank you all for attending our press conference.
01:11:10I am thrilled to announce the strategy collaboration between M-Hotel and JPG.
01:11:16As you all know, this has been a huge undertaking.
01:11:20I didn't know that cow could clean up that well.
01:11:23And we are glad to have finally reached an agreement with JPG
01:11:27and welcome Mr. Harrington and his company into our family.
01:11:43What's happening?
01:11:49What's happening?
01:11:51Is you are Clifford Harrington's mistress?
01:11:53And you've been spying on M-Hotel's?
01:11:58What?
01:11:59How much did Clifford pay you to make this deal?
01:12:02Nothing.
01:12:03Are you crazy?
01:12:04This woman is trying to set me up. She's a liar.
01:12:07I'm a liar?
01:12:08Why would the chairman of JPG go to such great lengths for a mere secretary unless he was screwing her?
01:12:16Is this true?
01:12:18M-Hotel could not allow behavior like this.
01:12:22These photos don't prove anything.
01:12:27Ms. Grant and Mr. Harrington's friendship has absolutely nothing to do with our meeting today.
01:12:33Friendship?
01:12:34Clifford has been paying for all of her mother's medical bills.
01:12:37That's more than a friend, don't you think?
01:12:40Mr. Harrington and I's relationship is an unusual one.
01:12:43So you finally admit it?
01:12:45Ms. Grant, you are fired.
01:12:48We will investigate the corporate espionage and our lawyers will be in touch.
01:12:55We will do no such thing.
01:13:07It's true. She is doing her own deed.
01:13:11See? Look at them. I wasn't lying. She's a whore.
01:13:19How dare you talk about my granddaughter like that?
01:13:22Granddaughter?
01:13:24What the fuck? This shit just got freaky.
01:13:27I wanted to respect Ava's wishes and keep her true identity private.
01:13:33But I couldn't let her reputation get ruined like this.
01:13:37May I introduce Ava Harrington.
01:13:41My granddaughter and heiress and future president of JPG Hotel Group.
01:13:58She's your granddaughter?
01:14:00Oh my god, that's why you gave all that money to her mom.
01:14:04I was getting the wrong information.
01:14:09How dare you frame Mrs. Grant? You wicked bitch.
01:14:15You blamed her for stealing a job that you wanted.
01:14:18And then you set her up and you used me in the process.
01:14:22I never should have listened to you. Get out!
01:14:25I never want to see your disgusting face again.
01:14:28But boss, I did exactly as you told me to. Don't fire me.
01:14:31Ava, I have always admired your talent.
01:14:37This whole situation is just a big misunderstanding. Let's combine us.
01:14:42I think we should. And you should leave.
01:14:45Don't we need to finish the meeting?
01:14:48Yes, we'll continue. But without you present.
01:14:52You're no longer the GM of the hotels.
01:14:55You're fired. You're fired.
01:14:59You're fired.
01:15:00Mr. Sinclair, everything I've done has been in the best interest of this company.
01:15:05You can't just kick me out of here.
01:15:08Security!
01:15:12Gross. Stop.
01:15:20There's one more.
01:15:22Her. In the back.
01:15:25I started investigating the moment I heard these outrageous rumors.
01:15:31This morning I learned that this woman and Christine had been working together to destroy my granddaughter.
01:15:45After everything I gave up for you, you do this to me?
01:15:49You know me and you lie to me like this?
01:15:52You're my best friend. I don't even recognize you anymore.
01:15:56Best friend?
01:15:58I was manipulated by Christine. I really thought you and Clifford were involved.
01:16:03The first time my presentation got deleted, it was you, wasn't it?
01:16:07You had Edmund. But that wasn't enough. You had to ruin my career too.
01:16:11You were the only one with access to my computer before the meeting.
01:16:14Ava, I would never do anything to hurt you. You have to believe me.
01:16:18No, I don't. You lie again and again. I don't know who you are anymore.
01:16:24I don't understand. You two know each other.
01:16:27She's my roommate.
01:16:29You told me you lived alone.
01:16:33Edmund, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make things weird.
01:16:37I didn't think you'd like me being your secretary's best friend.
01:16:40Besides, we were close, but we rarely know each other now.
01:16:45This woman knows nothing about me.
01:16:47Nothing?
01:16:51Chloe, I'm done being manipulated by you. I don't care that you have a baby.
01:16:55Edmund, it was me that night. Not her.
01:16:59It was you the whole time.
01:17:05Okay, maybe it was her the first night, but it's been me ever since. We have a connection.
01:17:10Silence!
01:17:12Chloe, I want you to leave.
01:17:15I don't want to see you ever again.
01:17:18I have a child.
01:17:20There is no child. We never slept together.
01:17:25Now, leave.
01:17:32Wait! There's something I need back.
01:17:38I don't want you having any part of me.
01:17:42You win.
01:17:48I'm going to announce my retirement so that I can spend more time with your mom, Ava.
01:17:55Will you take over JPG? What do you say?
01:18:03If you ever mistreat my granddaughter again, I'll ruin you.
01:18:09I'll ruin you.
01:18:11You have my word. I won't let her down ever again.
01:18:20Part of me knew it was you.
01:18:23Really? How?
01:18:27Just a feeling.
01:18:29What are you feeling right now?
01:18:33I'm feeling like we're in the middle of a meeting and everyone's watching.
01:18:39What?
01:18:42My camera.
01:18:44That's you.
01:18:46Part of me knew it was you.
01:19:04Excuse me, sir. Madam.
01:19:07A special delivery.
01:19:10Just arrived.
01:19:17Oh, my God! It's a handwritten letter from the King of England.
01:19:23He's attending our wedding?
01:19:25Sorry, I didn't say anything. I sent him an invitation.
01:19:29Technically, he is family.
01:19:31This is incredible! I mean, I didn't mean to do this, but...
01:19:38I know I'm a duke, but first and foremost, I'm your husband.
01:19:44I'm your husband.
01:20:01So, of all the hotels, this is the high-most we can pick.
01:20:05Exactly.
01:20:07I like it.
01:20:14I like it.
