00:00:00Welcome back, and he has showbiz now.
00:00:02Good morning and welcome to Daily News.
00:00:05I'm your host, Amanda. Our story today is about Ben Cooper,
00:00:09a rising actor and recent Oscar nominee who made a ripple in the acting industry
00:00:13after his performance in his recent movie Maximizer.
00:00:16His Instagram numbers have now risen from 50.2 million to over 100 million
00:00:22just over the span of two days, which is quite an achievement for someone as young as he is.
00:00:30Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:00:37I don't know.
00:00:40I'm not sure if I can do this.
00:00:43What did I even do?
00:00:45Well, you're not going to be getting any supporting roles anymore.
00:00:49Why?
00:00:51Because you are going to be the lead.
00:00:57You will be the biggest star ever.
00:01:02Fasten your seatbelt, Ben. It's time to fly.
00:01:10Everything just feels so unreal.
00:01:13That's what happens when you become a star.
00:01:18What's with the phone?
00:01:20No.
00:01:23I'm tired of saying please and sorry and next time.
00:01:28It's best not to respond at all.
00:01:30Now I know what my old managers were doing before all this.
00:01:34Tricks of the trade.
00:01:35But don't you worry.
00:01:36Everyone who was ignoring you before will be after you.
00:01:40You are a superstar.
00:01:45What a moment of peace.
00:01:47Hello?
00:01:53Hello?
00:01:59Send me that right now.
00:02:02What is it now?
00:02:03You're scaring me.
00:02:11I think we're in trouble.
00:02:23Okay.
00:02:29Please pick up, please pick up.
00:02:31Hi! Hi!
00:02:33Sorry, I was just wondering if you've rescheduled my interview at all.
00:02:38Yes, my name is Blake, number 56.
00:02:46There are no sauce left.
00:02:49There are no sauce left.
00:02:51I'm sorry, but you told me to wait.
00:02:58No, this isn't fair. You need to reconsider me.
00:03:02Hello?
00:03:07You've got to be kidding me.
00:03:10I'm never going to get an acting job.
00:03:20I'm tired of telling you I've failed, Mum.
00:03:24Well, I mean, I guess she's right, I don't give up too soon.
00:03:31I think it's time to prove them wrong.
00:03:36You've got this, Blake.
00:03:41Hi, um, I want an appointment with Manager Alan.
00:03:47Yeah, I knew you would refuse.
00:03:49Listen, I've got a very interesting story to tell him.
00:03:56Screw you.
00:03:58I didn't need your approval anyway.
00:04:03People just need gossip.
00:04:09Hello?
00:04:12This case is way more important than your court proceedings.
00:04:17I'm sure someone's just trying to defame Ben with his rumours.
00:04:21He's not in a relationship.
00:04:24Ben hasn't been in a relationship for a year.
00:04:27No, it's not about being in a relationship.
00:04:30People are saying that he's...
00:04:33that he's dating his male co-star, Thomas.
00:04:38I've got an important call. I'll call you back.
00:04:41Why do people think I'm over-exaggerating?
00:04:47What?
00:04:50What story? Send her in.
00:04:57Harry, what story? Who are you?
00:05:01Well, uh, there's not really a story as such.
00:05:05It's as important as that.
00:05:10OK, since you, you know, don't really talk to commoners often,
00:05:15I just wanted to come here in person
00:05:18and tell you that your agency is the worst I've ever seen.
00:05:23OK.
00:05:25You know you're scamming people, right?
00:05:27That's what people say when they don't get a job either.
00:05:30OK, not getting a job is different.
00:05:32You guys ditched me for my interview.
00:05:35Look, I've got a lot to deal with,
00:05:37so can you please do your rant elsewhere?
00:05:43Are you going to go
00:05:44or am I going to have to get someone to take you away?
00:05:48OK, look, um, I'm sorry, I just...
00:05:52I really need a job right now.
00:05:55This isn't a request, Sam. Please...
00:05:59Please.
00:06:01OK, well, you know what?
00:06:03I hope karma bites you with it.
00:06:08Sorry.
00:06:09Are you blind?
00:06:11Get your eyes fixed.
00:06:15Who was that?
00:06:16Just a jobless nobody.
00:06:20Right.
00:06:23We need to focus on the people who do recognise you.
00:06:26Ben, I can't prove you're not gay.
00:06:32I don't understand why these reporters
00:06:34enjoy writing fake stories about me.
00:06:36It's how they make them.
00:06:38Is it harmful for my image? Is it...?
00:06:44You can date who you want to, but there's rumours.
00:06:47Like, it ruins your identity.
00:06:50It ruins your identity.
00:06:52Do you really want to come out like that?
00:06:54Obviously not.
00:06:56I've been contacted by Thomas's manager.
00:06:59He wants me to address the issue as soon as possible.
00:07:01Just release a statement.
00:07:02I've been telling the reporters these rumours aren't true,
00:07:05but they keep on printing stories to say that they are.
00:07:07What difference would a statement make?
00:07:11What if we did something to distract from the story?
00:07:16Like what?
00:07:17Like...
00:07:19What if I were to date a girl?
00:07:23That's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:25Well, it would kill the buzz.
00:07:27I don't know, it'd put us on the right path
00:07:30to fix Thomas's image and my identity.
00:07:35My question is how.
00:07:40I have a brilliant idea.
00:07:49What?
00:07:58Everything sucks.
00:08:02You know what? I've decided.
00:08:04I'm not leaving my room.
00:08:06Nope.
00:08:07Staying here for eternity.
00:08:11It's settled.
00:08:14I mean...
00:08:17I mean, I don't want to have to go back to my village, but...
00:08:21But no one wants to go.
00:08:26I mean, everyone will laugh at me if I go back.
00:08:43I'm sorry.
00:09:03I think...
00:09:08I think I have to go back.
00:09:14This is how you go back.
00:09:35Nope.
00:09:36Nope.
00:09:38Absolutely not.
00:09:40I'm not answering any of those scandals.
00:09:54What is it, Mum?
00:09:58Um, hey.
00:10:01Yeah?
00:10:04Well, I'm Alan.
00:10:06I hope you remember me.
00:10:08You just came to visit me a while ago?
00:10:11Um, yeah! Yeah, hi!
00:10:14Hello.
00:10:15Hi.
00:10:17Um...
00:10:18Can we meet?
00:10:20I have a job for you.
00:10:23Hello.
00:10:35I'm still not happy with this idea of yours.
00:10:40Sorry, what did you say?
00:10:42Your idea. It's absurd.
00:10:44I'm just saving my reputation.
00:10:46Covering a lie with another lie.
00:10:48Well, everybody lies. People believe anything.
00:10:52Try this, so you can't blame me for not saving you later.
00:10:56Let's hope this girl doesn't go crazy after listening to her job requirements.
00:10:59She won't go crazy. I got a different vibe from her.
00:11:02You sure?
00:11:04I'm sure.
00:11:08Send her in.
00:11:11Still not sure about this girl.
00:11:14Come in.
00:11:18Please, take a seat.
00:11:22Thanks for coming in so soon.
00:11:24Well, I'm actually surprised.
00:11:26Didn't know my words had such an impact on you.
00:11:28Well, I feel really bad the way I treated you before.
00:11:32So...
00:11:34I got a job for you.
00:11:36Oh, I hope you've, you know...
00:11:38Oh, sorry, it's not so much of a job.
00:11:42More of a favour.
00:11:49This is all, um...
00:11:52So what do you think, Blake?
00:11:55So you want me to fake date Ben, for time being?
00:11:59Yeah, it's as simple as that.
00:12:02Okay, but...
00:12:04Who's Ben?
00:12:08How do you not know Ben? Like...
00:12:11You haven't seen his movies, or dramas, or anything like that?
00:12:17I'm not really a social person, so...
00:12:20You know, whatever happens in Trobers, I don't know about.
00:12:22Yeah, but still, like...
00:12:24Who doesn't know Ben?
00:12:26Me, apparently.
00:12:30I am Ben.
00:12:33Will you do me this favour?
00:12:41No.
00:12:51That was...
00:12:54That was Ben.
00:12:56The...
00:12:57The Ben Cooper.
00:13:02I can't believe that just happened!
00:13:05Oh my god, oh my god!
00:13:07Oh my god, I'm so stupid not to recognise him.
00:13:11What the...
00:13:16I can't believe it.
00:13:19I...
00:13:21I can't do it.
00:13:25I... I...
00:13:27I don't think I can ever let something like that happen to me.
00:13:36I guess I've gotta keep packing, then.
00:13:40I don't know.
00:13:47I saw Ben!
00:14:04Yeah, Mum, guess what I have?
00:14:11Ew.
00:14:16Ew?
00:14:18Okay, I would rather die than marry that bastard.
00:14:28Hey.
00:14:32You need to relax.
00:14:36I'm so jealous of you right now.
00:14:38I'm dying of anxiety and you're just chilling in your house.
00:14:41And on top of that, you're asking me to relax?
00:14:43Are you crazy or what?
00:14:45I told you an excellent plan.
00:14:47Now it's your part to play, just make it work.
00:14:50Yeah, fine, it was an amazing plan.
00:14:53Fine.
00:14:54It was a really good plan.
00:14:56But why are you so stubborn about this girl?
00:14:59Why can't I find you another one?
00:15:01A better one, one that's a better actor?
00:15:03No, it has to be this girl.
00:15:05If I'm doing this, she has to be my fake girlfriend.
00:15:08Ben, we can't delay this any longer.
00:15:12I agree. So convince her.
00:15:16Give me one good reason why it has to be this girl.
00:15:18And if it's reasonable, I will do whatever you want.
00:15:24Well, for starters, she's different.
00:15:26Right? When I first met her, she didn't even recognize me.
00:15:29If we want to do this, right?
00:15:32It plays better if she's not obsessed with me.
00:15:35It makes it more believable.
00:15:48Yeah, I'm sorry, Ben's already giving an interview right now.
00:15:52Alright, I'll book him in for an interview with you as well.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:15:58Alright.
00:16:03Ben's stubbornness goes to the next level.
00:16:09Please pick up, Blake.
00:16:16We need a plan B.
00:16:21Who is it?
00:16:23It's me, Blake.
00:16:26Please come in.
00:16:32Take a seat.
00:16:34I hope we're alone in here.
00:16:35Oh, of course.
00:16:39I knew you'd be back.
00:16:42I need a job, Alan.
00:16:44Oh, of course. It's what we offered you in your workplace.
00:16:46No, no. A proper job with a proper designation.
00:16:51Look.
00:16:53Look, I'll do anything.
00:16:55Okay, but I can't do this.
00:16:58What will I tell my parents?
00:16:59What will I tell my parents?
00:17:00That I'm, what, someone's fake girlfriend?
00:17:02That's not something I would want to tell them.
00:17:05Blake, it's what I said.
00:17:07It's not a job, it's more of a favour.
00:17:12Okay, fine, then I can't do it then.
00:17:15Blake, please help us with this.
00:17:20I really wish I could help you, Alan.
00:17:22But...
00:17:24I can't.
00:17:25I'm really sorry.
00:17:27Blake, please!
00:17:28Come on!
00:17:34Why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:17:36You know that I'm looking for her and I can't find her
00:17:38and you just let her go?
00:17:39Blake, she didn't give me the chance.
00:17:40She just walked right out.
00:17:42And what is it with you, Ben?
00:17:44Like, I've never seen you this way before
00:17:46unless you really respect someone.
00:17:52Oh my God.
00:17:54Oh my God.
00:17:56Ben's fallen in love.
00:17:57No, no, I haven't.
00:17:58It's nothing like that.
00:17:59It's not.
00:18:00Then what?
00:18:01What is it with her?
00:18:02I just think that we need to disprove the rumours
00:18:04as soon as possible.
00:18:05So what, I should just call her right away?
00:18:07Yeah, call her.
00:18:09Ben.
00:18:10Look, Alan, I gave you a job, you failed.
00:18:12Okay, just text me her number and I'll call her.
00:18:14Look, you've got to be kidding me.
00:18:16I've got a family dinner now.
00:18:18Text me her number, okay?
00:18:21Now.
00:18:27Okay.
00:18:58Hello?
00:19:02Look, I'm busy, so bother someone else, yeah?
00:19:05It's Ben.
00:19:08Ben Cooper?
00:19:11Look, if you're busy, then that's okay.
00:19:13I can call tomorrow.
00:19:14No.
00:19:17I mean, you know, I can talk.
00:19:20Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice.
00:19:22That's okay, we haven't talked before,
00:19:24so how would you recognise my voice?
00:19:26Yeah, I mean, who would expect a call from you after all?
00:19:30You still don't know who I am?
00:19:33Well, I think I'll cut to the chase.
00:19:35Can we meet tomorrow?
00:19:38I'm busy tomorrow, sorry.
00:19:44I just need a few minutes of your time.
00:19:46If you can't come out to my place,
00:19:48then maybe I could meet you at yours?
00:19:50No.
00:19:52No, I'll come.
00:19:56Great.
00:19:57I'll text you the address.
00:19:59See you tomorrow.
00:20:07Why don't you have a seat?
00:20:08Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:09Thanks.
00:20:10Would you like a coffee?
00:20:11Yeah, thank you.
00:20:16It's a strange studio.
00:20:21Here you are.
00:20:27You're welcome.
00:20:31You don't have anyone to look after this place?
00:20:34Well, it's my home.
00:20:36I should be the one to look after it, right?
00:20:39Your home?
00:20:41This is...
00:20:43This is your home.
00:20:44Is that a problem?
00:20:45No!
00:20:46No, I just, um...
00:20:48I didn't expect you to call me over.
00:20:50It's kind of...
00:20:53intimate.
00:20:54Well, I don't like to go out when I'm not working.
00:20:58Um, so...
00:20:59What is it you wanted to talk about?
00:21:02I wanted to ask,
00:21:03why are you running away from me?
00:21:05I've offered you a nice job.
00:21:08Yeah, but it's not a job.
00:21:11Whatever it is, I only want you for it.
00:21:16You know I've talked to Alan about it.
00:21:17I know.
00:21:19Well, that's my final decision.
00:21:20What if...
00:21:24I offered you a different role?
00:21:27As my secretary.
00:21:30That way you could have a
00:21:32respectable prefix added to your name
00:21:34and you can still help me fix my reputation.
00:21:37Um...
00:21:39Okay, well it's still not a job.
00:21:43I want a long-term job.
00:21:44You know, your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:47I'll have to live with it.
00:21:48Your conditions will only hold me for some time.
00:21:50I'll have to leave in the end.
00:21:52How much do you need?
00:21:53Is it about money?
00:21:55No, it's not about money.
00:22:01What if I...
00:22:02offer to hire you full-time?
00:22:04Full-time secretary.
00:22:06Permanently.
00:22:08I'm sorry, I really don't understand.
00:22:12Why me?
00:22:15Because I just like you.
00:22:16Why?
00:22:17I mean, for this role,
00:22:19I think you'd be a perfect fit.
00:22:21Okay, but there are so many other
00:22:23people that you could pick from.
00:22:27There's something different about you.
00:22:30Look, I've offered you the role
00:22:33with a part to play along.
00:22:34Are you in?
00:22:42I'm in.
00:22:47I'm in.
00:22:50I'm in.
00:22:53Ria.
00:22:56What are you doing?
00:22:57Don't treat me like this.
00:22:59Then how should I treat my ex?
00:23:01You're in that world.
00:23:02Can you just get over this already?
00:23:04We're not in a relationship anymore, okay?
00:23:06Just leave.
00:23:08I'm annoyed.
00:23:12You don't need to pretend.
00:23:14If you say it to me time and time again,
00:23:15this is no different.
00:23:18I'm here for you.
00:23:21Just get off, okay?
00:23:22You need to get out.
00:23:29This is the contract.
00:23:32This contract is for a year from now.
00:23:36We will renew it, of course,
00:23:37so you don't have to worry.
00:23:45I'm sorry.
00:23:48You're giving me a million dollars for this job.
00:23:51Is that number not acceptable for you?
00:23:53No, no, not at all.
00:23:54I just...
00:23:56I said I'd pay you enough.
00:24:01Okay, why do you even need a secretary
00:24:03when you have an amazing manager?
00:24:06Well, I mean,
00:24:07Alan looks after the whole agency,
00:24:09so I'm sure he can handle it.
00:24:11Well, I mean,
00:24:12Alan looks after the whole agency,
00:24:15so it's a lot of work for him,
00:24:16and if we can bring someone on board
00:24:18to split off the workload,
00:24:19that'd be helpful.
00:24:22Look, it's my decision, okay?
00:24:24And, Alan, I'm not cutting any of your pay.
00:24:26No, I never said that.
00:24:31Alright.
00:24:32Well, how about you sign the contract
00:24:33so we can move forward with the plan?
00:24:41Okay.
00:24:51Welcome.
00:24:53You're hired.
00:24:55Thanks.
00:24:57I'll try my best to be.
00:25:05Relax.
00:25:06You look tense.
00:25:08Um,
00:25:09I could have bought my own food and drinks.
00:25:11You don't have to.
00:25:12Don't be silly.
00:25:13I was buying things for myself,
00:25:14so I'm more than happy to buy you something.
00:25:18Listen, I hope you don't get the wrong idea about me.
00:25:22Wrong idea about what?
00:25:24Well, it could easily be seen as that I'm just
00:25:27using my money to get to you.
00:25:29I just want you to know it's not like that.
00:25:31I know.
00:25:34I do.
00:25:37I used to struggle for work, too.
00:25:41Seriously?
00:25:42Yeah, well, there were times where I'd go to bed hungry
00:25:44because I couldn't afford food.
00:25:46It was tough, and
00:25:49all that happened before I met Al.
00:25:52And once I met him, he is such a generous man,
00:25:55and he looked after me like his own brother.
00:25:57And now you've met him, too, so
00:25:59you don't have to worry about any of that.
00:26:03I...
00:26:05I've put a lot of hard work,
00:26:06and I've struggled through a lot
00:26:08in my career to get to where I am,
00:26:10and I'd hate to have just one reporter ruin that
00:26:14because they have something out for me.
00:26:16So that's where you come in.
00:26:20I promise that I'll try my best,
00:26:23even if it also sacrifices.
00:26:25No, it shouldn't require you to make any sacrifices.
00:26:28Your dedication is enough.
00:26:35Oh, my God.
00:26:37I'm... I'm so sorry.
00:26:39I'm meeting someone. I've got to go.
00:26:41Oh, do you want me to call you an Uber?
00:26:43No, it's okay. It's not that far.
00:26:45I can just walk.
00:26:46Okay.
00:26:48Bye.
00:26:49Thank you. See you.
00:26:51Oh.
00:27:02I really should stop reading these.
00:27:07Take a seat.
00:27:09Why did you call me?
00:27:10Nah, straight to the point.
00:27:14Look, if you want to sue me, just do it.
00:27:17I wanted to sue you.
00:27:18You ought to have done that a long time ago.
00:27:20I think we can deal with this a different way.
00:27:24You really should pay for all the wrong information
00:27:26your stupid article spreads.
00:27:28No, it's not that.
00:27:29It's just...
00:27:30It's just...
00:27:31It's just...
00:27:32It's just...
00:27:33It's just...
00:27:34It's just...
00:27:35It's just...
00:27:36It's just...
00:27:37it just doesn't spread.
00:27:40I'm already waiting for legal notice.
00:27:44Look.
00:27:45Look.
00:27:46I have a task for you.
00:27:48And if you do this for me, I won't sue you.
00:27:51I'll even offer you a job.
00:27:54What kind of task?
00:27:58I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:00I want you to write exclusive articles about Ben.
00:28:02I'll give you all the sources and information.
00:28:05in the spotlight since you're a well-known reporter.
00:28:11What kind of articles?
00:28:13I'll tell you once you've signed the contract.
00:28:17And this is a confidential agreement.
00:28:21If anything gets spread, I won't hesitate and I'll sue you right away.
00:28:28Alright.
00:28:31Consider it done.
00:28:34Email my office tomorrow morning.
00:28:38And don't be late or the deal's off.
00:28:53Hey, sorry.
00:29:00Sorry, I just woke up.
00:29:02Oh, that's fine. I should have informed you before coming over, sorry.
00:29:07No, no, it's alright.
00:29:12So why are you standing there?
00:29:16What do you mean? I'm waiting for you to get ready.
00:29:20You're supposed to pick out my clothes for the day.
00:29:22Is that so?
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24Okay, then where's your room?
00:29:33Hello?
00:29:37Yeah, I'll bring Ben in for his fittings this afternoon.
00:29:41Alright. Okay. Bye.
00:29:45Alright, Ben. We need to go in for the fittings for your suit this evening.
00:29:51Oh, wait. I've got an appointment.
00:29:54Appointment. Yeah.
00:29:57It's alright. It's my own personal business. I'll take care of it some other time.
00:30:00No, that's alright. Blake can accompany me.
00:30:03Me.
00:30:05Alright.
00:30:07Alright, you two can go in for the fittings for the suit this evening.
00:30:12So are you ready for the task?
00:30:15What task?
00:30:17The task. The reason you hired Blake in the first place.
00:30:20Oh, no. Yes. Sorry. Forgot.
00:30:26So, what's the plan?
00:30:30It's your plan. You need to choose to how you want to go and prove it.
00:30:34What? You're telling me this is on me?
00:30:37I'll publicise it. You just do whatever it is you want to do to prove it.
00:30:42I kind of thought you'd have like a whole script prepared for me.
00:30:46No. Too busy for that. Why don't you get your secretary to handle it?
00:30:51Already tired of me, Alan?
00:30:53No. That'll never happen, Ben.
00:31:01Yes. Okay. Alright. Thank you so much. Bye.
00:31:08I never expected you to take calls for me.
00:31:11Oh, well, you know, I am your secretary, so it's kind of my job.
00:31:14Sure.
00:31:18Question, by the way.
00:31:21Why don't you have a driver?
00:31:24I mean, you know, so Alan doesn't have to take you to the fitting.
00:31:28Because I like to drive myself.
00:31:30Although Alan is constantly telling me to get one.
00:31:33No, you should.
00:31:39I mean, you know, you can get tired sometimes.
00:31:44Yeah, well, I have you now. To drive me. You've got your licence, right?
00:31:51I've always loved cars. My dad is actually a mechanic in the village.
00:31:57Really?
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59Yeah, I used to help him repair old cars and, you know, he loved to have me by his side, helping out.
00:32:06Well, why did you stop? You could have opened a shop here.
00:32:14My dad didn't really like it as a profession for me.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:22You know, it was always my dream to buy my own car, so I put in a loan and I got one.
00:32:30But then I had to sell it because I couldn't pay back the loan.
00:32:42And I'm talking too much about myself. I'm so sorry.
00:32:47That's OK.
00:32:49Shall we head home?
00:32:52Yeah.
00:33:06Hey, Alan. Thanks for organising the suit. And thanks for organising Blake's dress too. She loves it.
00:33:13Yeah, thank you, Alan.
00:33:15All right, got to go. See you.
00:33:18All right, I'll go grab the suit.
00:33:19Oh, no, I got it.
00:33:21No, it's fine.
00:33:22No, it's a...
00:33:24Oh, I see. You think a woman isn't strong enough to carry a suit back?
00:33:30Does it look like I'm laughing?
00:33:34I didn't... I wasn't saying...
00:33:40I was joking.
00:33:42OK, well, I'm going to get the suit now.
00:33:44No, you're not.
00:33:49I'm... I'm sorry.
00:33:51No, no, wait. Don't apologise.
00:33:56Um, you know, the suit, I think you would look really good in it.
00:34:02I think you look great in the dress.
00:34:06I'm going to go grab the suit now.
00:34:17Good work.
00:34:19Thanks.
00:34:24What is it?
00:34:27Your assistant is so rude. How dare she grab me by my arm?
00:34:32You better teach them some manners or I'm going to make a complaint.
00:34:36Priya, your drama doesn't work here.
00:34:39Well, it will when I make a harassment complaint with HR.
00:34:43Look, I'm here...
00:34:47to give you another chance to take me back as your lead actress.
00:34:50You know you can't replace me.
00:34:54Sorry, I just read something funny.
00:34:56Priya, you have to understand you breached your contract when you decided to work abroad.
00:35:02Now that your plans have failed, you cannot come back and knock on my door again and again and again.
00:35:06What are you talking about, breached my contract? I went on vacation.
00:35:10What? You didn't tell me anything. Or Ben, so I took it as your resignation.
00:35:16Okay, so take this and draw up a new contract and let's get back into it. I'm getting back with Ben anyway.
00:35:23Priya, my books are full and I'm not taking any more clients.
00:35:28But we're...
00:35:40Trusting me with the housekeep, huh?
00:36:06I should let him know.
00:36:08Wait, what if he thinks I haven't read the text? I'll interrupt whatever he's doing.
00:36:33Ben?
00:36:37Ben?
00:37:00Okay.
00:37:04What, you're not going to say hello?
00:37:07Hi.
00:37:09Sorry, I thought you would be busy so I just came.
00:37:12No, that's okay, you've got keys.
00:37:14Anyway, I was busy.
00:37:17Hungry?
00:37:19No.
00:37:20Come on, let's have breakfast.
00:37:21No, I'm good.
00:37:22Let me show you my cooking skills, come on.
00:37:26Fine.
00:37:28Why does this make you so happy?
00:37:31Oh, because I suck at making coffee and you're really good at this.
00:37:36You want to learn?
00:37:37No, that would be really embarrassing.
00:37:40Please, let me teach you, then you won't have to be embarrassed ever again.
00:37:44Okay.
00:37:47Like that?
00:37:48Yeah, just have to hold it at the right angle.
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:52You suck at it because you're holding her.
00:37:55You can't all shake it, just bring it back a little.
00:37:59Just...
00:38:00Hey Alan, I know I'm late, sorry, what's up?
00:38:03What?
00:38:07Alright.
00:38:10Hey, hey, what's up?
00:38:12Hey, how's it going?
00:38:14Hey, I'm good, thank you.
00:38:16I've got to go, I'm busy.
00:38:18See you.
00:38:20Yeah, I'll see you later.
00:38:22Bye.
00:38:23Bye, bye, bye, bye.
00:38:24See you.
00:38:25Bye, bye, bye, bye.
00:38:26Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were coming.
00:38:27I'm sorry.
00:38:28I know, I know, I know.
00:38:29All right
00:38:31So
00:38:33Alan says there's an article about us
00:38:36Come on let's go
00:38:52Do you know why everyone's staring at me today? Yeah, me too exactly. We haven't even done anything yet
00:38:59It's like 40 minutes to sleep if this didn't turn up
00:39:05But I was just helping her yeah, he was just helping me out the car
00:39:09What's your problem? Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Well, I mean, it's what we wanted but not how we wanted
00:39:16Sometimes things don't go the way they are planned, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong here. You don't think it's too sudden too sudden
00:39:23Isn't this why you hired Blake in the first place?
00:39:29I'm sorry, Blake. I didn't mean that. No, no, it's the truth, right?
00:39:35But that's just a side task. You are my secretary and
00:39:39It's what you approached me for
00:39:42It's fine. Really. I don't have a problem with this
00:39:45See, there's no problem in it
00:39:48Okay
00:39:49Well, let's move it forward. All right. So Ben, do you have a plan? Yes
00:39:55Are you ready to be my girlfriend?
00:40:00Um
00:40:07So that exquisite event we're going to tomorrow
00:40:12Are you taking me as your date? Yeah, that's what I said
00:40:17No, no can't can't do that too embarrassing that's what I told Alan
00:40:23It's not that I just I'm ready to do whatever I just
00:40:29Feel like it might be too much
00:40:32Eventually, we're gonna have to act as a couple in public. So why drag that I
00:40:39Can see you're worried
00:40:42It reminds me of when I first debuted I was scared I didn't know how
00:40:48Everyone was gonna react whether they like what I'd done whether they hate it
00:40:53And I was alone
00:40:56Your fear is justified Blake, but you're not alone
00:41:00We'll do this together
00:41:05All right, I'll go with you I
00:41:13Think what we installed
00:41:17There's an opportunity here for what
00:41:22Mayor
00:41:25You
00:41:29Very natural
00:41:40Are you going home now
00:41:42Yeah, yeah. No, I will miss my bus. I should rush. I have something that I need to show you
00:41:48Would you mind coming with me?
00:41:51Um
00:41:52Then I was my boss just be a minute and I think I have a solution for
00:41:57Okay
00:41:59This is for you
00:42:02What Katie O'Connor to Katie your car
00:42:07What are you talking about I bought you a car
00:42:12Um
00:42:14Are you serious? It's just for your work so you can drive me places and
00:42:20Get home. All right, I
00:42:23I don't mind taking the bus and it's fine
00:42:25I know you're fine, but I mean you drive me home and then you struggle to get home yourself
00:42:31And no, I think it'll it'll help
00:42:35Please take it. Okay, it'll make me happy and you need to practice your driving skills. Um
00:42:45Thank you
00:42:51You
00:42:56Thank you, man, I
00:43:03Guess dreams really do come true
00:43:16There is no way I can spend good today
00:43:21Oh
00:43:25No, no just my job just my job
00:43:38Yes, yes, yes
00:43:40You
00:43:47Hello
00:43:50Listen we cannot comment on anything right now, but please try and stay away from the room
00:43:57Yes, just try and avoid the room, thank you very much, okay
00:44:03Bye
00:44:05Then what the hell
00:44:07What do you mean? You told me to go ahead and I did it. This is just the start
00:44:13You freaking kissed
00:44:15Blake I thought you're gonna start small by like giving her a handshake or just a hug
00:44:23Is it working
00:44:27That's the goal
00:44:30What the hell is going on Ben
00:44:33Explain yourself
00:44:35Explain what and why don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about. I
00:44:42Don't think that I need to explain it
00:44:44Okay, I thought we were minding our own business
00:44:48It's so stuck in the past. Can you get over that already?
00:44:52You know, that was the last thing you said to me
00:44:56Just when are you gonna drop that
00:45:00We were exclusive
00:45:04Why are you so obsessed with
00:45:07We're broken up
00:45:09You never actually broke up with me. Geez you left me
00:45:15Okay, you told me to mind my own business
00:45:16You treated me like garbage and you expect me to do what you come in here and I forgive you
00:45:20Okay, Ben, Ben, calm down. No, no
00:45:24You can't just act like this was all nothing between us
00:45:30No, just please ask her leave Maria, please

00:45:49I
00:45:57Could tell you were angry earlier, you know driving when you're angry. It's quite dangerous
00:46:04Why is that?
00:46:05because you don't pay attention to the road and
00:46:09You don't think when you're angry
00:46:12Me serious. Hey, I didn't disagree. I
00:46:15I
00:46:17Like to drive to distract myself I can't help
00:46:25What do you do when you're angry I
00:46:33Guess I just
00:46:35Like to go somewhere alone anything
00:46:38Let my emotions settle down a bit I
00:46:43Usually drive alone
00:46:46Well, you don't have to anymore you've got me now always

00:52:43Then you can't risk your reputation for me, I'm just your secretary
00:52:49You're not just my assistant or my colleague or my secretary you're more than that to me
00:52:59What do you mean I
00:53:04Mean I
00:53:08Think I
00:53:10Think I've developed feelings for you
00:53:16Since since when to be honest, I don't know I
00:53:21mean when I when I first met you I
00:53:24wanted to get to know you better and I spoke to Alan and
00:53:29We had a role for you to play, but I want you to know that I've loved every second that I've spent with you
00:53:36But
00:53:39After today if you want to end the contract here, that's okay. I understand
00:53:47Please don't let my feelings be a burden to you. I just wanted to be true to myself
00:53:52You
00:54:01Can I kiss you because I I really want to
00:54:23Yes
00:54:27Send her in
00:54:32What happened last night I'm hearing all kinds of things
00:54:35Well, everything was fine until Ria caused a scene
00:54:39When will she leave us alone?
00:54:41What did you do exactly?
00:54:44Well, I was taking pictures of them like you asked and then Ben left Blake by herself and Ria showed up
00:54:52and then she started this argument and
00:54:56She slapped her
00:54:59She's really crossed the line this time write an article about this. We need to cause this scandal. So she leaves us alone
00:55:05Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm only paid to write for Ben
00:55:09I
00:55:21Consider it done
00:55:27Who is this she's a reporter and what are you doing? I
00:55:33Hired her
00:55:39Why didn't you tell me about Oliver it wasn't important
00:55:44The heck Alan you hired the reporter, you know what she's done. I know
00:55:50You wouldn't have let her on if I told you of course
00:55:53Right. She's on my blacklist because she's the reason that we have to do this in the first place
00:55:57Look, she wrote those articles. I know I know please
00:56:03She wrote those articles on you in the first place therefore she has the audience we need don't you see
00:56:10She wrote one story about you and the old rumors died
00:56:14This is because people trust her one good deed does not make her a good person. Okay, I don't trust her
00:56:20I know I know I don't trust her either
00:56:24But I've got a plan okay, she is useful
00:56:29Still
00:56:31then
00:56:33In my years of managing I've learned one thing
00:56:37Sometimes you need to take the risk
00:56:40Whatever okay, I just don't know get Blake involved in this. Okay, we can't drag her into this mess. No, I know
00:56:47So say what happened to her last night?
00:56:52I mean, where is she? Why isn't she with you? Oh
00:56:56Don't tell me she's left we can't do this without her. How are we going to do an essay?
00:57:00She's just taking a break today
00:57:02everything's fine, but I
00:57:06Do need to tell you something
00:57:09You
00:57:21It smells so good
00:57:24Time did you wake up I wake up to something that I

00:58:27Someone could hear us. It's not gonna change the fact that you're secretly defaming Ben through me
00:58:33How many times do I have to tell you this is not about defaming Ben. I just wanted him to get back with me
00:58:40But I do need your help. I

01:05:42Rhea paid me from the very start to write about Ben
01:05:46She started all this

01:06:03Blake deserves all the happiness
01:06:15You
01:06:19What were you the headliners that you
01:06:37I
01:06:41Understand your decision to leave what I hope you know Ben loves you very much
01:06:46But in the end, it's your life I won't force you to do anything
01:06:55Where you will be facing the consequences of her actions
01:06:59She hired a lawyer to write fake articles about you and Ben the chats have been made public
01:07:06Good for her. It's the least she deserves
01:07:09And we'll write a statement for you and file a lawsuit against Rhea for invading your privacy
01:07:17It's fine Alan you don't have to waste all that money on me I'm just a
01:07:23regular person

01:07:34You know, I can't
01:07:36Ruin the career that Ben has worked. It's so hard to achieve
