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

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