00:00:00Oh shit! I'm late for work! Oh god, I wish I had superpowers right now so I could just
00:00:07fly to work.
00:00:08Mom? Mom, I really don't have time right now. I'm late for work. I gotta go.
00:00:17Hold on, just a minute.
00:00:19Mom, I really don't have time. If I get fired today...
00:00:21Oh stop whining little girl and listen.
00:00:24Alright mom, what is it?
00:00:25So, I found you the perfect guy. He works in a law firm, and since you now have a good
00:00:31job, I see you guys are compatible.
00:00:33Mom, it's definitely not a good time. I'm late. I really gotta go, okay? I love you.
00:00:39Come on Em, I'm doing this for you. Hold on, your husband-to-be actually wants to talk
00:00:46to you.
00:00:47Mom!
00:00:48Hi Emily, your mom said so much about you. I was wondering if we could...
00:00:52Dude, listen, I'm sure you're a great guy and all, but it's my first day, I'm late for
00:00:57work, I really gotta go. Please just bug off man!
00:01:05Shit magician.
00:01:06Shit.
00:01:22Last night was damn crazy.
00:01:27Looks like another day in paradise.
00:01:33Hey Siri, play me some jazz music.
00:01:37Okay.
00:01:52Time is money, and I've got plenty of both.
00:01:56Ah, coffee. The elixir of life.
00:02:07Hello?
00:02:08Good morning sir, we need you at the office for an important meeting.
00:02:11What's wrong?
00:02:12We have a marketing problem at our Ohio branch, sir.
00:02:15Who's handling it?
00:02:16I don't know.
00:02:17Okay, I'll call you back.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20What's wrong?
00:02:21We have a marketing problem at our Ohio branch, sir.
00:02:24Who's handling it?
00:02:26There was a decline in the newly released product. The team is on it, sir.
00:02:30Okay, I'll need this resolved quickly. I don't need issues like this on my radar.
00:02:34I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:02:36Yes sir, it'll be taken care of immediately.
00:02:50Ah, time waits for no one.
00:02:54But Richard Goodman always arrives on time.
00:03:07You're Emily Nelson, right?
00:03:09Yeah, that's me. And you are?
00:03:11It's your first day at work, you've come two hours late. What is wrong with you?
00:03:15I know, I'm sorry. I had car trouble this morning. Someone tell me.
00:03:18Whatever. Come with me.
00:03:26This is your new office.
00:03:30Thanks.
00:03:32You know, the boss has been waiting for you in his office two hours already. He wants to see you right now.
00:03:37Can you take me there?
00:03:38Fine, let's go.
00:03:44This is it. Careful.
00:03:49We can't offer any more positions, especially now, Robert.
00:03:52I'm sorry. I know you're an old friend, but I'm not a charity center.
00:03:58Hi, I'm your new personal assistant.
00:04:02It's you.
00:04:03Just a moment, Robert. I'm getting another call. I'll call you back.
00:04:09I understand. We can't let this issue escalate any further. I need that report by the end of the day.
00:04:14Unless you want to look for a new job, I suggest you stop procrastinating.
00:04:21You! You're the one from the accident yesterday.
00:04:25Yes, it's me. I didn't realize that...
00:04:28That I'd be your new boss? Small world, huh?
00:04:33Yeah. I'm sorry I came in late. My alarm didn't go off and I didn't have my car.
00:04:39Well, if you'd gone up earlier, you would've gotten here earlier and avoided all the shenanigans.
00:04:45I'm sorry. If I have to do extra hours, I will.
00:04:48What do we do now? It's only been your first day and I must say I'm not impressed.
00:04:52It's my first day here, sir. I did all the interviews and I was the best choice. Please, just give me a chance.
00:04:58Don't stress it. I can see you're worried. It's written all over your face.
00:05:02Just don't let it happen again, okay?
00:05:04Okay.
00:05:05I understand.
00:05:06Just don't let it happen again, okay?
00:05:08Okay.
00:05:09I understand that you would've gotten to the office earlier if I hadn't hit you with my car.
00:05:12Okay. I promise, sir. I won't let it happen again.
00:05:16Drop the, sir. We're reaching this far.
00:05:19Alright, sir. So, what do I do now?
00:05:25Girl, I can only imagine. It must have been embarrassing.
00:05:29Sarah, you have no idea. First, my alarm went off late. And then the accident.
00:05:33And the guy that I was yelling at for bashing my car turned out to be my boss!
00:05:37Oh my gosh. If I were in your shoes, I would have wanted to disappear too.
00:05:42Trust me, Sarah. If I could have run away in that moment, I would have.
00:05:47Well, now you have a front row seat to always keep an eye on your boss. He can't get away with anything either, right?
00:05:55God, just kill me now.
00:05:58It's like my life is a reality TV show and, I don't know. God, I just, I hope it doesn't get too dramatic.
00:06:06Girl, I got a serious question for you.
00:06:09What?
00:06:10Is he cute?
00:06:11Oh God, Sarah, please. He doesn't even look like the kind of guy that has time for a woman.
00:06:16And he's too serious. But, I don't know. Maybe every guy that's kind of hardcore has his hot spot, right?
00:06:25Well, that sounds nice. Looks like you got yourself a real soap opera now.
00:06:31Yeah, well, I hope it doesn't take any dramatic twists.
00:06:34Who knows? Maybe you'll discover that your boss is secretly a spy or a long-lost prince.
00:06:41Are you serious? I highly doubt it. But, I don't know. Maybe a twist that would make my life easier wouldn't be too bad.
00:06:55It's Richard. I need to take this. I'll call you back, okay?
00:06:58Of course, Em. Don't let him intimidate you.
00:07:04Hello, sir.
00:07:06Emily, I need you to join an urgent call in two hours. We have an important meeting.
00:07:11And how many times do I have to tell you? Just call me Richard.
00:07:15I don't think it's professional to call you by your first name, sir.
00:07:19Very well. Just come on over.
00:07:21Okay. I'll be right there.
00:07:23Good.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:40Emily, make sure you're taking down all the necessary details. I need a comprehensive report by the morning.
00:07:45Yes, sir. I'm documenting everything.
00:07:48And we need to implement the changes in the pricing strategy and the product rollout needs to be recalibrated.
00:07:55Anyway, we need to switch our supplier from the EU to Asia so we can cut the cost down.
00:08:01Got it. Pricing strategy and recalibration of the product rollout.
00:08:06Got it. Pricing strategy and recalibration of the product rollout.
00:08:10That's a great plan. This product is critical for our first quarter.
00:08:14Please make sure you have our staff implemented as soon as you can.
00:08:18Is there anything else, sir?
00:08:20No, Emily. You've been a great help. Get some rest. You've earned it.
00:08:24Thank you, sir.
00:08:26Don't forget. We meet early tomorrow morning in my office.
00:08:30Okay. Have a good night.
00:08:34Good night.
00:08:39I hope this job isn't the end of me.
00:08:44Oh.
00:09:02Sir?
00:09:08He's not here.
00:09:15Good morning, Emily.
00:09:17Good morning, sir.
00:09:19Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you like that.
00:09:22I'm sorry. I'll clean this up.
00:09:31I put the record on your desk. You can check it out.
00:09:34Okay. So you've got everything recorded?
00:09:37Yes. You can check if they're any errors.
00:09:45What the hell was that?
00:09:47It felt different.
00:09:49No. Things like this cannot happen. Not with an employee.
00:09:54Our relationship is strictly professional. That's it.
00:10:01We have to remain professional.
00:10:04Focus on the work. That's what matters.
00:10:07This cannot happen. I won't let this happen.
00:10:10Oh, what's that?
00:10:12Why did it feel so... complicated?
00:10:21God, this thing won't come off.
00:10:24Just like... whatever that was.
00:10:31I'm sorry.
00:10:33I'm sorry.
00:10:35I'm sorry.
00:10:36I don't know what it is.
00:10:39No, no. I need to keep it professional.
00:10:42There's no room for that kind of stuff.
00:10:44Work is work.
00:10:58David, tell me some good news.
00:11:00Yes, sir. The new strategy we implemented is showing promising results, sir.
00:11:04That's excellent to hear. Tell me more.
00:11:06Our recent campaign is agreeing with our target audience and we're seeing a significant uptick in engagement sales.
00:11:12It seems like we hit the mark, sir.
00:11:14Outstanding work. Thank you, David.
00:11:16We need to monitor the progress closely though, okay?
00:11:19Will do, sir. Thank you for your guidance and support.
00:11:25Emily, please come to my office.
00:11:28On my way, sir.
00:11:30Emily, do you have your passport ready?
00:11:32My passport?
00:11:34Yeah, but I wasn't aware of any travel plans.
00:11:37I have an important business trip scheduled for tomorrow. I'll need you to accompany me.
00:11:41Yes, of course. I'll make the necessary arrangements.
00:12:00Oh my goodness. Why does he keep staring at me?
00:12:04That was a productive meeting, Emily. You handled logistics perfectly.
00:12:10Thank you, sir. It was a team effort.
00:12:14You're a valuable asset to this team, Emily. Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed.
00:12:19I'm just here to make your job easier, sir.
00:12:23Oh, this calls for a celebration, don't you think?
00:12:26Yeah. Okay.
00:12:28Head back to our rooms, freshen up, and then we can meet at the hotel restaurant.
00:12:32We'll mark this successful meeting properly.
00:12:34Okay. Sounds good.
00:12:45Let's reconvene at the hotel restaurant in an hour.
00:12:48Okay.
00:12:50Let's reconvene at the hotel restaurant in an hour.
00:12:54Absolutely. I'll set everything up for our celebration.
00:12:58Okay.
00:13:08Cheers.
00:13:10Cheers.
00:13:19Cheers.
00:13:27I'm interested to learn more about you, Emily.
00:13:30I know a lot about your professional life, but I don't know very much about your personal one.
00:13:34Tell me more.
00:13:38Well, I come from a pretty close-knit family.
00:13:43And I have a little sister. She's in college now.
00:13:46And, yeah, my family has always been really supportive with all of my ambitions.
00:13:52Wow. That's wonderful to hear, Emily. I can see where you get your determination from.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:14:01I mean, they mean the world to me, you know?
00:14:06My gosh, but lately, my mom has been driving me insane.
00:14:10She's been trying to find me a future husband.
00:14:13And I swear, every time I see her phone call, I just, I don't know, I feel this pressure.
00:14:21I mean, I don't know what she thinks.
00:14:28How about you? What's your life beyond the boardroom?
00:14:32Yeah. Work's always been challenging, and I've missed a lot of important aspects of my life.
00:14:39So I guess I'm just trying to find a balance right now.
00:14:42Huh. Yeah, I see how it can be challenging to maintain a work-life balance with your responsibilities.
00:14:51You're absolutely right, Emily.
00:14:53I'm starting to realize that there's a lot more to life than that.
00:14:57I'm starting to realize that there's a lot more to life than just work.
00:15:06Hey, what do you say we go to the hotel bar and get a drink?
00:15:11That sounds like a wonderful idea. Let's go.
00:15:19Nico?
00:15:27Nico?
00:15:42You're a great assistant, Emily. You've been a real lifesaver tonight.
00:15:47It's all part of the job, sir.
00:15:49Thank you, Emily. You're a real friend.
00:15:53Anytime, Mr. Richards. Just know I always have your back.
00:15:59You know, I just realized I don't think I know your last name.
00:16:04It's Goodman. Richard Goodman. You should know by my financial reports.
00:16:11Goodman? So that must mean you're a good man, right?
00:16:19Why don't you find out?
00:16:22Goodman?
00:16:32I still prefer to call you Mr. Richard.
00:16:37I'm so lucky to have you, Miss Emily.
00:16:40And I'm so lucky to work for you.
00:16:45You're an extraordinary person.
00:16:53Do you want to wait here for a while?
00:17:08What are you doing?
00:17:20What are you doing?
00:17:22What are you doing?
00:17:40Where am I?
00:17:45What happened last night?
00:17:53What happened last night?
00:18:05Emily, what are you doing in my room?
00:18:08You're asking me? I should be asking you.
00:18:11What exactly happened last night? I just... I left you in your room.
00:18:16And then...
00:18:18No. No, no, no, no, no. No, this can't be happening.
00:18:23Emily! Don't go!
00:18:32What did I get myself into?
00:18:40What happened last night?
00:18:41What happened last night?
00:18:46Did I really sleep with Richard?
00:19:00What did we do?
00:19:06Please, have a seat.
00:19:12We need to talk about what happened.
00:19:15Yes, we do.
00:19:21I need to understand how such an event happened last night.
00:19:26Richard, I wish I had a clear answer. We were both drunk and it's all a blur.
00:19:33I need to make sure that you're okay with everything that happened.
00:19:36What? You want me to be okay with all this?
00:19:42I had a one night stand with my boss and you expect me to be fine with it?
00:19:46Calm down. Calm down. I understand you feel that way.
00:19:51Calm down? How are you going to tell me to calm down? Do you have any idea how much stress this has caused me?
00:19:58It's affected me too, okay? But I just want you to know that even though something happened, I still...
00:20:04No, no. I need to go home and process all this. I really don't want this to affect our working relationship.
00:20:12I understand you feel that way. I know the challenges it presents, but I don't want it to affect your role here either.
00:20:20Richard, it's okay. We both made a mistake. It was a result of poor judgment, fueled by alcohol, but I really don't want this to jeopardize our working relationship.
00:20:31I just need to go home and take some time to think about it.
00:20:35Okay.
00:20:50Emily, what happened? You can talk to me.
00:20:53I'm here for you.
00:20:54God, Sarah, I'm freaking out. I had too much to drink and... God, it's such a mess. I can't believe what I did.
00:21:02It's okay, Emily. Take a deep breath. We will get through this together.
00:21:09What happened?
00:21:12Alright. Sarah, I had a one-night stand with my boss. I woke up in his bed this morning. God, it's such a mess.
00:21:24Listen, Emily, I can only imagine what happened last night.
00:21:28It doesn't define you.
00:21:31Emily, I'm here for you, but are you safe? Do you need any help?
00:21:36I'm safe. I'm just... I'm just a little shaken up. I don't know how to face him at work anymore.
00:21:42What's wrong? Are you sure you remember what happened?
00:21:46Yes, I went through it in my head over and over again. It happened, Sarah. Unfortunately. Oh, God, I don't know what to do.
00:21:55No, no, Emily. It's a complicated situation. Don't worry. We will figure out a way to move forward.
00:22:05Thank you, Sarah. I really needed to hear that.
00:22:16What have I done? It was a mistake. A lapse in judgment. Who hasn't had sex?
00:22:32How could it come to this? We're both professionals. What was I thinking?
00:22:38I can't let this ruin mine or Emily's career. We must find a way to move forward.
00:22:45I won't let this mistake ruin all that I've built. I must restore order.
00:22:52How can I just face everyone at work after what happened? But I can't keep avoiding it.
00:22:59Sarah was right. I'm not going to let it define me. No. I'm not going to let one mistake determine my future.
00:23:09I'm not going to let one mistake determine my future.
00:23:29Thank goodness.
00:23:53All right. There. All set. Okay.
00:24:00Mission accomplished. Now I can focus on the rest of my tasks today.
00:24:08Emily?
00:24:17Emily's been here.
00:24:22She's so dedicated to her work, even after the incident.
00:24:31Thank you for this.
00:24:39Hello, David. Just a moment. I'll call you back.
00:24:47I was told you wanted to see me.
00:24:49Yes, Emily. Please have a seat.
00:25:04Please come.
00:25:15Emily, we can't keep avoiding the elephant in the room. What happened between us, it's complicated.
00:25:22Yes, it is.
00:25:25I want you to know that I value your professionalism and dedicate it to your work.
00:25:29But I understand that what happened between us has created an uncomfortable situation.
00:25:36I really value my job here, Mr. Richard. I mean, sir. And I'm not going to let anything jeopardize it.
00:25:44We need to find a way to move forward without letting this affect our work.
00:25:47I agree. We need to maintain professionalism and find a way to put this behind us.
00:25:53I promise, sir. I won't let this affect our work. I'm not going to let personal matters interfere.
00:26:00Thank you, Emily. Your dedication towards your work is commendable.
00:26:05So is yours.
00:26:07Seriously, I really value my time here. The very fact that you believe in me, it's, it just, it really makes me feel like this job is everything for me.
00:26:17We'll handle this, Emily. But in the meantime, let's focus on the tasks at hand.
00:26:21Okay. I have some work to get back to. If you don't mind, I'd like to get back to it.
00:26:36Hi, Mom.
00:26:38Emily! How have you been, dear?
00:26:41I'm okay. Just, I have a lot going on at work.
00:26:46You sound a bit off. Is everything okay?
00:26:50Yeah, everything's fine. It's just, I might have done something that put my work and reputation at risk.
00:26:57But I have it under control. And I wouldn't let you down, Mom.
00:27:01You could never let me down, Emily. I know you'll do what's right.
00:27:06By the way, Emily, I have a date set up with you with a banker.
00:27:12Mom, you're still setting me people up.
00:27:15Come on, Emma. Give it a chance, baby. You need to get back out there. It's been eight years.
00:27:20That's true, but, Mom, I have so much going on right now. I can't even fathom going on a date right now.
00:27:26Emily, you can't let work control your life. Besides, this guy is different.
00:27:31He's a successful banker. Stable and charming. At the same time, he has a lot of hobbies similar to yours.
00:27:39I really think you'll like him.
00:27:42I don't think so.
00:27:43Come on. It's just one date. What's the harm in having a little fun once in a while?
00:27:48All right, fine. But just this one date. I want to feel like I'm doing this just for you.
00:27:53That's my girl. I'll send him your number right away.
00:27:57All right. I gotta go, Mom.
00:27:59And remember, Emily, don't let work control your life.
00:28:05All right, Mom.
00:28:06I'll send him your number right away.
00:28:08All right. I gotta go, Mom.
00:28:10And remember, Emily, the most important thing is to wear a beautiful smile.
00:28:19Okay, Mom. Bye. I love you.
00:28:26Sarah, I can't believe I let my mom talk me into this date. He was actually so nice.
00:28:31See? I told you, Em. Sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone.
00:28:35I know. I know.
00:28:38And it was so refreshing to talk to someone about something that's not worked for once, you know?
00:28:43I'm glad to hear, sweetheart. Do I get to meet this charming banker soon?
00:28:49Oh, my gosh. Come on, Sarah. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It was just one date.
00:28:54Well, remember that life is more than just work and solving mysteries. It's about enjoying the journey, too.
00:29:01I know. You're right. I'm just happy I let my mom talk me into this date.
00:29:06Now, tell me more about this charming banker.
00:29:10What's his name?
00:29:12Okay. So his name is James. And he's genuinely such a good guy.
00:29:18And he's, like, full of unexpected surprises. I don't know. I like him. Let's see where things go.
00:29:25Well, remember to just enjoy the moment. And if I were you...
00:29:30I wouldn't go for drinks with him. You know where that led last time.
00:29:35Oh, my gosh. I know. Sarah, I get it. But you're right. Thank you. I needed to hear that.
00:29:48Emily, could you please come to my office for a moment, please?
00:29:54Sure.
00:30:01You wanted to see me, sir?
00:30:03Yes. Please, have a seat.
00:30:06Don't worry. I'm not going to be talking about that. I have an important work task to hand over to you.
00:30:13Oh, right. That thing. I almost forgot about it.
00:30:17I wanted to discuss our upcoming projects. I have a very important client meeting next week.
00:30:21And I believe you'd be perfect to take the lead. Your attention to detail and your dedication to your work has not gone unnoticed.
00:30:28Thank you, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I'll be sure to give it my best.
00:30:33I have no doubt about that. You've been doing great lately. And I believe this presentation will make you shine even more.
00:30:40Thank you. I won't disappoint you, sir.
00:30:43All right, Emily. Stay calm and confident. You can do this.
00:30:49Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining today's call. I'll be leading today's discussion.
00:30:54Good morning, Emily.
00:30:56All right. So, let's dive into this presentation.
00:30:59Today, we're going to be discussing exciting developments and new opportunities in the blockchain space.
00:31:04So, I'll be discussing a few things.
00:31:06Today, we're going to be discussing exciting developments and new opportunities in the blockchain space.
00:31:11So, I'll be discussing some key points. And then we can address any questions you guys might have.
00:31:16All right. Well, we lost 50% of our investment last cycle. So, why do we keep investing in this space?
00:31:23Yeah. I mean, even though it's apparent that many companies have been affected by the bear market, including ours, it's still the best time to invest.
00:31:31Actually, more than 80% of the top 100 companies have invested in this space, whether it's through research, pilot programs, or already implemented projects.
00:31:40And digital currency wallet holders have increased by 1,000% in the last year alone.
00:31:46It's actually more risky not to invest.
00:31:49All right, everyone. Thank you so much for your time and attention today. I'm really looking forward to continuing this discussion.
00:31:55If you have any questions, please just reach out to me.
00:31:57Sir, I wanted to thank you for trusting me with the presentation. I really appreciate the chance to prove myself.
00:32:04You did a great job, Emily. I'm so glad I chose you for this. It was the perfect job for you.
00:32:09Thank you, sir.
00:32:11We might have to start reconsidering your job and ready you up for a promotion if you keep up the great work.
00:32:27Emily!
00:32:47What happened?
00:32:49You collapsed. Are you okay?
00:32:52Yeah, I'm fine. It must have been the excitement or something.
00:32:58Maybe you should get yourself checked, just to make sure.
00:33:02Okay, I will. Thank you, sir.
00:33:08Take care of yourself, Emily. And please don't hesitate to reach out, okay?
00:33:13Okay, I will. I mean, I'm sure I'll be fine, but yeah, I'll let you know.
00:33:21Okay.
00:33:42Sarah, I can't talk right now. I'm still at work.
00:33:45I know. It's just, I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Richard told me to get checked out.
00:33:51Well, you should listen to him. Better safe than sorry. I'll visit you when you finish work.
00:33:56Yeah, I just have a lot on my plate and it's taking its toll on me.
00:34:01Maybe it's time to look back and reevaluate your priorities.
00:34:15Oh my god, it's him.
00:34:19Hello?
00:34:20Good morning, Emily. I hope you're feeling better.
00:34:23Good morning, sir. I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks for asking.
00:34:28You know, I've been thinking. I think you should take a few days off. Or, let's say a week.
00:34:34Honestly, take all the time you need. And call me when you're feeling better. I trust you.
00:34:38Thank you, sir. Thanks for understanding. I'll keep you updated with my progress.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:56Now that I have a whole day to myself, what should I do?
00:35:00I could just rest and watch some Netflix.
00:35:15That was weird. I must be more tired than I thought.
00:35:24I can't keep pushing myself like this.
00:35:26No, no, no. This can't be.
00:35:43No. No.
00:35:46This can't be.
00:35:51No.
00:35:53No.
00:35:56No.
00:35:59What do I do now?
00:36:15Hello?
00:36:17Sarah, it's me, Emily.
00:36:20Emily, what's going on? You sound upset.
00:36:24Sarah, I took a pregnancy test. And it's positive.
00:36:30Oh, Emily. I don't even know what to say.
00:36:35Me neither. I mean, I had a one-night stand with Richard, and now I'm pregnant?
00:36:40Emily, I'm here for you. We'll figure this out together.
00:36:44Sarah, I'm scared.
00:36:48I know, but you're not alone in this. Take a deep breath.
00:36:53And let's think about what you want to do next.
00:36:58Yeah.
00:37:00Thanks, Emily.
00:37:04Come in.
00:37:14Richard, I'm sorry to disturb you. I know you have a busy schedule.
00:37:20It's okay, Emily. What's wrong?
00:37:24I don't know how to tell you this, but there's something really important I need to talk to you about.
00:37:31Take your time. You can talk to me about anything.
00:37:36Richard, I took a pregnancy test. And it's positive. I'm pregnant.
00:37:45I appreciate you telling me this, Emily, but what does this have to do with me?
00:37:49What does this have to do with me?
00:37:51Well, I thought you should know since you're the father.
00:37:55We had a one-night stand. Are you sure about this?
00:37:58I'm certain. There's no one else. And the timing. It aligns.
00:38:05This is a lot to take in.
00:38:08I understand, but I didn't want to hide this from you.
00:38:13We need to figure out the best way to get out of this.
00:38:16I don't know what's the best way, but I know I can't do this alone.
00:38:23Thank you for telling me this, Emily. It's just a lot to process. This is going to take me some time.
00:38:30How about we meet tomorrow and discuss this matter further?
00:38:36I understand, but I just wanted to be honest with you.
00:38:40I understand, but I just wanted to be honest with you.
00:38:48Alright. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:38:53This can't be happening. It's a mistake. We had a one-night stand. We were both... We weren't in our right state of mind. I can't even remember it happening.
00:39:17It's a mistake. A misunderstanding. This job can't be mine.
00:39:24Emily, this situation, it's not what we expected. It complicates everything. We have to consider our options.
00:39:33I know, Richard. I've thought about it too. This wasn't part of any plan. This has been so overwhelming.
00:39:42Well, given our situation, maybe we need to investigate other options like, well, termination?
00:39:57You mean an abortion?
00:40:04Excuse me.
00:40:12I need to consider every option.
00:40:16Hello?
00:40:18Sarah, we need to talk. I need your advice.
00:40:21Of course, Emily. I'm here for you.
00:40:24He wants me to get an abortion. I know he wouldn't like it, but, I don't know, at least he wasn't mad. I'm not sure. I just...
00:40:34Emily, whoever you decide, we will support you.
00:40:37This is your life. This is your choice.
00:40:39I know. I'm just scared. I'm scared for my reputation, what it means for my career, the judgment.
00:40:47You're strong, Emily. You can overcome any obstacle.
00:40:51I will stand by your side and offer any support you may need.
00:41:01Richard, we have to talk about this pregnancy.
00:41:04I've thought about it, Emily. I don't believe I'm the father. It was a one-night stand. We were both intoxicated. This matter doesn't concern me.
00:41:13Richard, we have to consider all options. I didn't plan for this either.
00:41:17I'm sorry, Emily. I cannot be a part of this. I can't have this ruin my life or my career.
00:41:23Richard, I need your support. We can do this together. We can figure it out.
00:41:27There's nothing to figure out. You made your decision that night and you need to live with the consequences.
00:41:34What about you? You made choices that night too. Why do I have to live with the consequences? Why am I the only one being held responsible?
00:41:45You're the CEO of a big company. You must know responsibility.
00:41:49I think it's best if you leave the company, Emily.
00:41:53What? You're firing me?
00:41:55Yes. I can't have this affecting my business.
00:42:04I can't believe you. How can you be so heartless?
00:42:09You have until the end of the day to pack your things.
00:42:12I regret ever meeting you.
00:42:15Get out!
00:42:26What do I do now?
00:42:34Hello?
00:42:36Hey, Sarah.
00:42:38Emily, what's going on?
00:42:40You sound upset.
00:42:43I don't know what to do.
00:42:45I don't know what to do either.
00:42:48I don't know what to do.
00:42:50I don't know what to do.
00:42:52I don't know what to do.
00:42:53I don't know what to do.
00:42:55Richard fired me and he said he doesn't want anything to do with me or the baby.
00:43:00I can't believe he fired you. What a heartless asshole.
00:43:04Don't worry. We will stand with you through it all.
00:43:08I'm not gonna give up. I'm gonna find a way to support myself and this baby.
00:43:14That's the spirit, Em. We will explore your options. You can start fresh. It's a new beginning.
00:43:21Thank you, Sarah.
00:43:23I don't know what I would do without you.
00:43:42I can do this. I'll be a strong, independent mom.
00:43:54Okay.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:59Don't worry, little one. I'll be sure you get the best of everything.
00:44:03No one's gonna look down on us. I'll be sure of that.
00:44:15What a day.
00:44:17Richard.
00:44:20Is my degree and all my experience not enough to prove my competence?
00:44:33No.
00:44:36No!
00:44:37I won't stop. I won't stop until I secure a future for my baby.
00:45:08Emily, how did the job interview go?
00:45:12The same, Sarah.
00:45:15They said my qualifications were good, but as soon as they found out I was pregnant, they had the reservations.
00:45:24Sarah, I don't know how much longer I can take this.
00:45:28Emily, I know this is tough for you right now, but this is just another obstacle and you've always had to deal with it.
00:45:34You got this. You can do it.
00:45:39Thank you for believing in me.
00:45:42But I need to figure out a way to secure a future for my child.
00:45:46I mean, have you tried talking to Richard again? He has a stake in this, too.
00:45:52I'm not sure.
00:45:54The way he reacted last time.
00:45:57I don't want to face that again.
00:45:59Hang in there, little one. We're gonna get through this.
00:46:30Hey, Sarah.
00:46:32Guess what? I just finished decorating the baby shower invitations.
00:46:36They look adorable. I can't believe it's almost time.
00:46:40I know. It's coming up so fast.
00:46:43Sarah, thank you so much for helping me plan this. I couldn't do it without you.
00:46:47Of course, Emily. You're like a sister to me.
00:46:50We're going to throw the best baby shower ever.
00:46:52So, have you thought of any names yet? Got any favorites?
00:46:56I'm considering a few, but nothing's final. I want it to be perfect.
00:47:01You'll find the perfect name, I'm sure.
00:47:04It's a big decision, after all.
00:47:07Thank you, Sarah. I'm so grateful for you.
00:47:11You're welcome.
00:47:13I'm so happy for you.
00:47:15I'm so happy for you, too.
00:47:17I'm so happy for you.
00:47:19I'm so happy for you.
00:47:20I'm so happy for you.
00:47:28Oh, my God.
00:47:30Sarah.
00:47:33I think my water just broke.
00:47:40Welcome home, Lily.
00:47:50You've led such a wonderful life, my little one.
00:47:57You've already brought so much joy into my life, Lily.
00:48:00I promise, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be there to protect you. Forever.
00:48:15We can't wait to see you, too, Lily. Thanks for always supporting us.
00:48:21Hello?
00:48:23Emily, did you adjust the room to a suitable temperature for the baby, like I told you?
00:48:29Yes, Mom, I did.
00:48:31Don't forget to take your child to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, and then again next week.
00:48:36Yes, Mom, I remember everything you told me. I think he'll be a great mom, just like you.
00:48:41That's a good child. I know you find me talkative, but I've experienced how much trouble it is to take care of children when you were little.
00:48:50I get it, Mom. I get it. I really do.
00:48:53Don't worry.
00:48:54You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray.
00:49:19I love you more than words can say, Lily.
00:49:24You've changed my world. I'm so grateful for you.
00:49:36Mom, we're behind on our rent again.
00:49:39We do.
00:49:43It's okay, Lily. We've been through traumas before, and we'll get through this one, too.
00:49:48I'll talk to the landlord and explain our situation. We'll find a perfect solution. We always do.
00:49:55I hope so.
00:49:59Mom, everything here is broken. Why is everything falling apart all the time?
00:50:05It's not so simple, Lily. I'm trying my best, I promise.
00:50:10I know you're well-educated. Why aren't we doing better?
00:50:13It's complicated. I lost my job years ago, and I promise I've been trying my best since. Mom, just...
00:50:28Mom, I got you the medicine you need.
00:50:31Thank you, Lily. You're such a big help.
00:50:35Mom, things will get better, I promise.
00:50:39I know they will, sweetheart. I'm so lucky to have you.
00:50:44I wish things could be different.
00:50:51Mom, there's got to be a way to make you feel better.
00:50:55I'm trying, Lily. But sometimes, life has other plans.
00:51:08Mom?
00:51:14Mom? Mom, the breeze got wet. Mom?
00:51:18Mom? Mom, answer me! Mom!
00:51:24Mom!
00:51:28Mom, please wake up! Doctor! Doctor, there has to be something we can do, please! My mom's not responding!
00:51:35Mom!
00:51:36I understand, Lily, but without the finance or proper treatment, there's nothing we can do.
00:51:42What?
00:51:45Mom, please! Mom!
00:51:49Mom, please! Mom!
00:51:54Mom, I love you! Mom, please don't go! Please don't leave me!
00:52:00Please!
00:52:03Mom!
00:52:07Mom!
00:52:16Mom!
00:52:25Mom!
00:52:27I love you so much!
00:52:36Oh, Mom, I'll make you proud. I promise.
00:53:07My dearest Lily, if you're reading this letter, it means I'm no longer by your side.
00:53:15I want you to know that you're the most precious thing in my life.
00:53:19I love you more than words can express.
00:53:22Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry for all the harsh words I said.
00:53:28I'm sorry I didn't tell you more about your father, but I want you to know the truth now.
00:53:33His name is Richard, and he wasn't a bad person. He just made a mistake in the past, just like I did.
00:53:41We were both young and foolish, and the circumstances kept us apart.
00:53:47Lily, I never wanted you to think poorly of him.
00:53:51He was just very focused on his career, and he couldn't stand for anything that might put his company in jeopardy.
00:53:57So I had to leave.
00:53:59I hope that one day you will find it in your heart to forgive both of us for bringing you to this world.
00:54:06You deserve to know your father, and I hope you'll seek him out when the time is right.
00:54:12No, I won't seek him for forgiveness or connection. He doesn't deserve that.
00:54:19I'll seek him out, but it won't be for reconciliation.
00:54:23Richard, you'll know what it feels like to be abandoned, just like you abandoned her.
00:54:46Mom, I'm ready. It's time to get our revenge.
00:54:50Here's to new beginnings.
00:54:54Taking over this company won't be easy, but it has to be done. This is the only way we can get our revenge.
00:55:01Okay, let's see.
00:55:21So mean.
00:55:25I'll never learn this. There's so much. God, and this company is just so complex.
00:55:39No, I can't do it. No. I can't do that. That's stupid. I have to do this. Not just for me, but for Mom.
00:55:51And to be fully prepared for this interview.
00:55:59Good morning, Lily. How are you today?
00:56:01Good morning. I'm doing well. Thank you. I'm excited about this opportunity.
00:56:06Great. You're going to get in for the role of Secretary to Richard Goodman, right?
00:56:10Yes, that's correct.
00:56:12That's quite a soft-toucher position with lots of applicants. Are you prepared for the responsibilities?
00:56:16I believe I am. Thank you.
00:56:18Wow. Excellent to hear. Let's get right to it.
00:56:21Yes, let's do it.
00:56:24Thank you for this opportunity. I'm looking forward to contributing and learning from the team.
00:56:29Excellent. Excited to have you here. You just left a strong impression on me. One more question. Where do you see yourself in the next few years?
00:56:38I see myself growing with the company, taking on new responsibilities.
00:56:43And ensuring its continued success.
00:56:46We're glad to hear that, Lily. Welcome to the team.
00:56:49Thank you. You won't regret it.
00:56:54Yes!
00:57:13One step closer, Mom.
00:57:23Auntie Sarah! Hi. Guess what? I just got the job at Richard's company!
00:57:29That's great. But Lily, I can understand more than anyone how you want Richard to pay for what he did.
00:57:37But is this really the result your mother wanted?
00:57:39Yes, Auntie Sarah. This is the only way I can fill that hole of regret that is left in me and my mother's hearts.
00:57:46Okay, sweetie. Just be careful.
00:57:49Revenge is never good for your soul.
00:57:51Yes, Auntie Sarah. I know. But this is the only way. And don't worry. It's only going to get better from here. This is just the beginning.
00:58:00Okay. Bye.
00:58:02Alright. Bye.
00:58:04Richard, soon you'll understand the consequences of your actions.
00:58:15Good morning, sir. I'm Lily, your new personal assistant.
00:58:19Oh yes, Lily. Welcome. Please, have a seat.
00:58:26You seem remarkably young to be a personal assistant. Do you have any prior experience in this field?
00:58:31Yes, sir. I've been a personal assistant before and I have a solid understanding of what the position entails.
00:58:38Very well, Lily. You are here to assist me in various aspects of my work and personal life. I expect the highest level of professionalism.
00:58:47Of course, sir. I'm here to make your life easier. In fact, I already finished the admin cost analysis for Q3.
00:58:55Very well. That'll be all for now. Thank you.
00:59:09This is great work. You catch on fast, Lily. It's been a while since I've had an assistant hooker keeper.
00:59:15Thank you, sir. I'm here to help in any way I can.
00:59:18You know, I've got this nagging feeling that we've met somewhere before or maybe our paths have crossed.
00:59:25Oh, really? That's funny. I can't recall meeting you prior to working here.
00:59:31Keep up the good work.
00:59:49Could he really recognize me? I just... He hasn't seen me before, so that doesn't make sense. But... I'm not worried. I don't know. Oh.
01:00:03Hello? Auntie Sarah!
01:00:06Lily, how was your first day at work?
01:00:09It was good. I even met Richard, actually.
01:00:12Really? What did he say?
01:00:14Well, he did say that he might have seen me before somewhere. I'm kind of worried.
01:00:21Don't worry. It's probably a coincidence. Don't worry too much.
01:00:25You're right. Yeah, I shouldn't let it bother me. Thanks, Auntie Sarah.
01:00:30Just gotta be on guard. Be careful. Be smart.
01:00:36No, no, no. It's fine.
01:00:47I'm so sorry.
01:00:49It's okay.
01:00:51It's okay.
01:00:53It's okay.
01:00:55Richard.
01:00:57Richard.
01:01:01Who?
01:01:04Do they know what I'm planning?
01:01:08Okay, that's not good.
01:01:17Gotta know who's behind this. I can't let them stop me.
01:01:25Good morning, sir.
01:01:27Good morning, Lily. Please, call me Richard.
01:01:30Okay, Richard. Here are the documents based on yesterday's meeting.
01:01:38Lily, are you sure we have not by chance met before?
01:01:42I don't believe so, Richard. Unless you mean yesterday.
01:01:46Alright, Lily. Let's make this a productive day.
01:01:49Yes, sir.
01:01:57Lily, you're proving to be an invaluable addition to the team. I appreciate your dedication.
01:02:02Thank you, sir. As I said, I'm here to support you in any way I can.
01:02:09Lily, I presume?
01:02:11I've been looking forward to meeting you.
01:02:14Oh, Richard.
01:02:16I'm so sorry.
01:02:18It's okay.
01:02:20It's okay.
01:02:22It's okay.
01:02:24It's okay.
01:02:26It's okay.
01:02:28It's okay.
01:02:30It's okay.
01:02:32It's okay.
01:02:34It's okay.
01:02:35I presume?
01:02:37I've been looking forward to meeting you.
01:02:40Yeah, that's me.
01:02:42I recognize you from my old job at the finance department at IG.
01:02:48You said you could help me?
01:02:51Indeed. I can.
01:02:53I have more confidential information within the company.
01:02:57But first, can you tell me what you've gathered so far?
01:03:02Yeah, sure. Great.
01:03:03Thanks.
01:03:08This is what I have. Just this, and this.
01:03:14You've done an impressive job here, Lily. Really, this is more than I expected.
01:03:21With this and the information I have, we can take a big fish like Richard down.
01:03:26That's my ultimate goal. He deserves to pay for what he did to my mother.
01:03:30Yeah, I know. Your auntie Sarah and my mom are good friends. I heard all about it.
01:03:36But what's your motive in all this? Why are you helping me?
01:03:42I lost my father to this company.
01:03:47This company has ruined more lives than you can imagine.
01:03:52He destroyed my family. I vowed I would take him down.
01:03:57The company looks so pure on the outside, but I knew he was using this money to fund his drug deals.
01:04:04Holy shit!
01:04:06Look, this is his offshore account. All we have to do is trace this money back to his illegal operations.
01:04:14With this, he would ensure that he'll pay for what he did to my mom and your family.
01:04:21Let's get to work.
01:04:33I can't believe how heavily encrypted this file is. It's like nothing I've ever seen before.
01:04:38Alex, we need to break this code. It's crucial to this plan.
01:04:42I know, Lily, but this isn't just standard encryption.
01:04:46This is designed to withstand some of the most advanced hacking attempts.
01:04:50Well, we can't give up now. We have to get inside that file.
01:04:54Okay.
01:05:00Any progress, Alex?
01:05:02No. Let me just check.
01:05:06That's it. It's open. The document's open.
01:05:10Finally! Okay, let's get inside that file and get what we need.
01:05:14Yeah.
01:05:16This is the solid proof we needed. Richard's criminal empire is exposed in these documents.
01:05:23Money laundering, drug trafficking, political manipulations. He's entangled in all of it.
01:05:30Oh my god. We don't know who we're going to expose in these documents.
01:05:37We need to be really careful with our next move.
01:05:39Richard, your reign of terror is about to end, and we'll be the ones to end it.
01:05:44Lily, I gotta ask you a question. I mean, doesn't this affect you kind of deeply?
01:05:51I mean, Richard, this is your father.
01:05:54Yeah, but it's because he's my father that I have to end it.
01:06:01He killed my mother. He destroyed our family.
01:06:05He killed my mother. He destroyed our family.
01:06:10And he built his empire on a foundation of corruption and lies.
01:06:14We have to stop him. I won't let something stupid like his blood in my veins stop me from seeking justice.
01:06:20With this data and your files, we finally have enough evidence to take him down.
01:06:25Yeah, let's do it.
01:06:27Wow. This evidence combined is a goldmine. It should be enough.
01:06:36You did a good job. Thank you. Good job.
01:06:39Thank you. Good idea.
01:06:41But we still need to be careful, because Richard's pretty tricky, and we need to make sure he has no way to escape the grasp of the law.
01:06:48I understand.
01:06:51Wow.
01:06:53Good God.
01:06:55There you go.
01:07:08Lily, you know, you're one of the strongest people I know.
01:07:14What you're doing, what we've done, it's incredible.
01:07:18Thank you, Alex.
01:07:19Thank you, Alex. You know, it has been overwhelming, but I think it's all worth it.
01:07:25I was originally just going to blackmail Richard, and once I got to Canada, I would just send the information to the police.
01:07:33But now I feel like ever since I met you, I want to do things the right way.
01:07:40Lily, you changed your plans just for me?
01:07:43Just for me?
01:07:48Lily, you're right. We don't have to keep running. We don't have to do anything.
01:07:56Lily, as long as I have you, I don't need anything else.
01:08:01Lily, I feel something more than just partnership here. I don't know. Do you feel it too?
01:08:15Yeah, I do.
01:08:17Lily, I love you.
01:08:24I do too.
01:08:32Lily, what brings you here?
01:08:35I want to talk to you about someone, Dad. Do you know someone by the name of Emily?
01:08:41You just called me Dad.
01:08:43Emily was my mother, Dad. You had a one-night stand with her many years ago and left her to deal with it by herself.
01:08:52She died because she was very sick, and we had no money for her hospital bills.
01:08:57I'm not sure who this Emily is. It was a long time ago. She must have fallen for me because of my charm like many others did.
01:09:07Of course her death was a tragedy, but let bygones be bygones.
01:09:11Her death was not a tragedy, Dad. Her death was an injustice. I made a vow to get justice for her.
01:09:18I made a vow to get justice for her.
01:09:27And that's what I'm here to do.
01:09:30What are you talking about, Lily?
01:09:32I've been investigating, Dad. Uncovering secrets, lies and illegal activities that led me to the truth.
01:09:41Lily, I'm not sure what you think you know, but you should leave this alone.
01:09:46I can't, Dad. I won't. I'll expose everything, and then you'll finally realize what it's like to face the consequences of your actions.
01:10:13What's going on, Clark?
01:10:14Richard, things are getting worse. The evidence against you and the company is piling up. Lily, your daughter, she's relentless.
01:10:21We can't let her win. We have to do something fast.
01:10:24I've got a contact of somebody who can make it disappear. It's risky, but it might be our only way out.
01:10:30Do it. We can't go down without a fight.
01:10:45Lily, we're doing the right thing. We'll get justice for your mother.
01:10:49And your father. I'm grateful for you, Alex. You've been my anchor through this whole thing.
01:10:55We've come so far, but we've got to remain vigilant.
01:10:59You're right.
01:11:01We can't underestimate your father.
01:11:03We're close, but the hardest part may still lie ahead.
01:11:05Would you like me to come with you tomorrow when you face him?
01:11:08No. This is something I want to do alone.
01:11:11Fine. I'll be right outside.
01:11:12Okay. Thank you.
01:11:20Lily, I don't know what you think you know, but we can't let it end like this. We have to find another way.
01:11:26I'm still your father.
01:11:28It's too late for that, Dad. You should have thought about the consequences 20 years ago.
01:11:34Too late? What did you do? What did you do?
01:11:38Open up! It's the police!
01:11:42Richard Goodman, you're under arrest for a series of crimes, including money laundering, fraud, and drug trafficking.
01:11:49Come on, let's go. Get down.
01:11:51No! You can't do this to me! Do you know who I am? You've got no real evidence!
01:11:55We have all the evidence we need, Dad.
01:11:58Let's go.
01:12:00Lily! You can't do this to me! I'm still your father!
01:12:04You stopped being my father a long time ago.
01:12:08Alright, that's enough. Let's go, buddy.
01:12:13It's finally over. Richard is finished.
01:12:17The company's still going, but those shareholders are having a hard time stopping everything from dying.
01:12:23You're so beautiful, Lily. Lily, inside and out, I love you.
01:12:28I love you, too, Alex.
01:12:34It's really beautiful.
01:12:36I know.
01:12:38It's Richard. He's being charged with everything we found on him, and more.
01:12:45We did it, Dad. We did it, Lily.
01:12:50Let's forget about this nonsense, Alex. The future is ours.
01:12:55You're right. That's right.
01:12:57But aren't you even a little interested in how many years Richard's going to get?
01:13:03No.
01:13:04It doesn't matter. We have so much to look forward to, Alex.
01:13:08Yeah. I mean, as long as we got each other, there's nothing we can't do.
01:13:26Good morning, everyone. I hope this call finds you well.
01:13:29I want to thank you all for joining me today, especially considering the recent developments in our company.
01:13:36As you may already know, my father, Richard, has made the decision to step down from his position as CEO following his arrest.
01:13:45He has entrusted the future of this company to me as his only child.
01:13:52I understand the challenges we face.
01:13:56I understand the challenges we faced and the dark chapter we're leaving behind.
01:14:03But I want you all to know that my commitment to this company is unwavering.
01:14:10I believe in our potential to make a difference, not only in the business world, but in the lives of our employees and the communities we serve.
01:14:19Under my leadership, we will continue to strive for excellence, ethical practices, and corporate responsibility.
01:14:29I'm committed to leading with integrity and transparency, and I hope to earn your trust and support as we navigate the road ahead.
01:14:37Together, we will build a brighter and more responsible future for this company.
01:14:44Thank you for your words, Lily. Your father's legacy will live on through your leadership.
01:14:49We look forward to working with you to shape the future of this company.
01:14:58You did it. We did it.
01:15:01Yeah. Oh!
01:15:03What is it?
01:15:05Oh, it's a message from my auntie, Sarah.
01:15:07Lily, I heard that Richard was arrested and I hope everything is fine.
01:15:11Did you say you met a guy as in boyfriend or just a friend?
01:15:15I wanted to tell you I'm coming to visit you next week. I finally got some time off my crazy job for a vacation. Can't wait. More details soon.
01:15:25She's finally coming to visit! I'm so excited to show her the changes we've made. She'll be beside herself.
01:15:32Oh, I bet she's going to be real proud of you.
01:15:34Hey, this was for your father too, so give yourself a little credit.
01:15:39Oh, yeah, but the important thing is we found something more precious in the process.
01:15:46Yeah, that's true. You know, I think the universe was speaking to us. It didn't want us to go down a dark path of revenge and lose ourselves. I'm so glad I met you, Alex. You saved me.
01:15:59And you, me. I think you're right about the universe, though. It works in mysterious ways. The important thing is, though, that we listened. None of this would have been possible without that.
01:16:12I'm really happy I met you, Alex.
01:16:15Me too.
