Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Mr. Powell, what are you doing here?
00:00:29You don't seem too thrilled to see me on your birthday.
00:00:32Of course I am, what, you're supposed to be on a business trip.
00:00:36Since when have I ever missed your birthday? Not a single one since you were 18.
00:00:40Wow, Madeline.
00:00:42Your sugar daddy spoiled you rotten.
00:00:44That diamond must be worth a fortune.
00:00:46Stop it, Joanna. He's not my sugar daddy.
00:00:49Nick is just looking after me like he promised my father before he passed away.
00:00:53Thank you for always being so kind to me.
00:00:57Nicholas treats you way better than Michael.
00:00:59I mean, he didn't even get you a birthday present.
00:01:01He didn't even say happy birthday.
00:01:03You should dump him already.
00:01:04Stop it, Joanna.
00:01:05I've already said yes to Michael's proposal.
00:01:07Can you stop putting him down?
00:01:09You said yes to Michael's proposal?
00:01:12Yes.
00:01:14Do you think it's too soon?
00:01:16Um...
00:01:17A proposal without a ring.
00:01:19It didn't seem serious to me.
00:01:20Besides, didn't your dad arrange a marriage for you before he died?
00:01:24Aren't you gonna go through with it?
00:01:26No. There's no way.
00:01:28I've never even met the guy.
00:01:30I have no idea of who he is.
00:01:32What if that guy is me?
00:01:38Wait, Nick.
00:01:39You and my father were tight, right?
00:01:41You must know who he was.
00:01:43Yeah.
00:01:44I do.
00:01:45Great.
00:01:46Then help me call it off.
00:01:49Are you sure about that?
00:01:51Yes.
00:01:52Are you sure about that?
00:01:53Yes.
00:01:54Michael's the only one I want to marry.
00:01:59If you're happy, I'm happy.
00:02:02Great.
00:02:03I'm gonna call him.
00:02:14Oh, babe.
00:02:16That sounds like...
00:02:17Michael.
00:02:23Michael.
00:02:28I wish you would just make up your mind and dump her already.
00:02:31Can't you see?
00:02:32I am the one that you want.
00:02:34I thought we were just having fun.
00:02:36Aren't we?
00:02:38Michael Lambert!
00:02:39You proposed to me yesterday!
00:02:41And today you're here with someone else!
00:02:47Boss.
00:02:49Did you tell Madeline about her dad's wishes?
00:02:52She's not married to me.
00:02:54But you've been hanging on to Madeline all this time.
00:02:57Why don't you just tell her how you feel?
00:03:00Well, she's getting married, but to someone else.
00:03:05Look.
00:03:06If the guy truly cares for her,
00:03:09I'll let them be.
00:03:11How could you betray me?
00:03:16Madeline.
00:03:17How could you betray me?
00:03:18Betray you?
00:03:19We've been seeing each other for three months,
00:03:21and you don't even let me touch you.
00:03:23You know, I thought that the proposal would change things,
00:03:25but then you say we have to wait until after marriage.
00:03:28Come on.
00:03:29You can't blame Michael.
00:03:31He's been holding back for ages.
00:03:33Otherwise he wouldn't have found fun outside of the relationship.
00:03:41Stop pretending, Madeline.
00:03:43You've been seeing your godfather on the slide, haven't you?
00:03:45That's why you wouldn't let me touch you.
00:03:49The End
00:03:54If you mess with Madeline again,
00:03:56next time,
00:03:57won't be so pretty.
00:04:13Madeline.
00:04:14You just vanished after the call.
00:04:16Juliana.
00:04:27You were both
00:04:29just so he could sleep with me.
00:04:32I thought he was the one.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:36Stop crying.
00:04:37Michael's a jerk,
00:04:39and he already has someone new.
00:04:40Why waste tears on him?
00:04:42Yeah, right.
00:04:47Michael's a scumbag.
00:04:49He broke my tears.
00:04:51Right?
00:04:53He even said I slept with Nicholas.
00:04:57I'll find someone.
00:04:59Maybe he'll choose me.
00:05:06Look,
00:05:07at home, I'll take care of Madeline.
00:05:09Okay.
00:05:13Michael dumped me.
00:05:15Just forget about him.
00:05:16Alright?
00:05:17You got me here.
00:05:18I'm not going anywhere.
00:05:31I need magic.
00:05:33You are wasted.
00:05:34Let's go home.
00:05:35No.
00:05:36No, I need a man.
00:05:38Stop it.
00:05:46Take her home.
00:05:47Oak Street.
00:05:48No.
00:05:49No.
00:05:50Home is the last place I want to go.
00:05:53Okay.
00:05:59My place first.
00:06:01Okay, boss.
00:06:12Okay.
00:06:16How about you give me another birthday surprise?
00:06:32What are you doing?
00:06:34I'm not drunk.
00:06:36Look at me.
00:06:38I am not Michael.
00:06:40No, you're Nicholas.
00:06:41Stop it.
00:06:42You're drunk.
00:06:44You're boring.
00:07:15Nick, my godfather?
00:07:17I can't believe I slept with him.
00:07:20I've got to leave before he wakes up
00:07:22or this will be super awkward.
00:07:44Today is going to be the day I ask her.
00:08:15Where did you disappear to last night?
00:08:20I got too drunk and stayed at a friend's house.
00:08:25What's that?
00:08:27It's a mosquito bite.
00:08:30I don't think so, young lady.
00:08:33Did you go on a date with your boyfriend last night?
00:08:36No.
00:08:38I really don't think Michael is the right choice for you.
00:08:42We broke up.
00:08:47You know what?
00:08:49Maybe this is the perfect time.
00:08:52Remember your father set you up with someone?
00:08:54But I thought that was off.
00:08:56I've never even met the guy.
00:08:57I can't get married.
00:08:58That's crazy.
00:08:59He said it was off.
00:09:01He's been waiting for you.
00:09:03But don't worry.
00:09:04You know him.
00:09:05Trust me.
00:09:06You won't regret it.
00:09:07But you're not the one getting married.
00:09:09How can you make such promises?
00:09:11No more excuses.
00:09:12He's on his way.
00:09:13So get yourself together.
00:09:15But...
00:09:17He's here.
00:09:18Get the door.
00:09:24There is no way I'm marrying someone I've never met before.
00:09:34Mr. Poe, what are you doing here?
00:09:40Wait.
00:09:42Are you my fiancé?
00:09:45You knew?
00:09:46No.
00:09:47I certainly did not.
00:09:49Oh.
00:09:51Do you know my man?
00:10:04Are you going to check with Nicola Sanni?
00:10:07What's wrong, sweetie?
00:10:09You were smitten with him when you met him at your 18th birthday.
00:10:12I thought it was love at first sight.
00:10:15Mom.
00:10:16I thought he was just Dad's friend then.
00:10:19I didn't...
00:10:20I didn't know he was my fiancé.
00:10:24Well, now you do.
00:10:28What?
00:10:29You don't like him?
00:10:33It's...
00:10:35It's not that I don't like him.
00:10:38I just...
00:10:41We'll get to know him better.
00:10:50Well, I'll leave you to it and get back to my room.
00:10:57Hey.
00:10:59Look at me. What's wrong?
00:11:02I just...
00:11:03I didn't expect you to be my fiancé.
00:11:08You didn't seem too bothered by that last night when you were pushing me out of the bed.
00:11:13Stop it.
00:11:14My mom doesn't know anything about that.
00:11:16If she finds out I was out with you all day...
00:11:17She's trying to get us hit.
00:11:19She's not going to have a problem with it.
00:11:23I just...
00:11:24Why didn't you tell me about the engagement?
00:11:28I'm 13 years older than you, Melvin.
00:11:31I assumed that you might have better options.
00:11:34And you just broke up with Michael yesterday.
00:11:36I thought it might be too much, too soon.
00:11:40But...
00:11:42Maybe...
00:11:45We could give it a try?
00:11:58Does the age gap bother you?
00:12:02I'll get it.
00:12:08Michael, what are you doing here?
00:12:13Madeline, look, I know I messed up. I'm sorry.
00:12:16Can you give me another chance?
00:12:18No, I want you out of my life.
00:12:20Look, last night, that woman, she came on to me.
00:12:23I was wasted. I thought she was you.
00:12:25Michael, I'm not stupid. Don't blame me for a fool.
00:12:28I knew you were cheating on me. Stop lying.
00:12:31You're such a jerk.
00:12:35We have a booking with the caterer. Let's go.
00:12:40How dare you? Get lost.
00:12:42You kicked me?
00:12:47You stay away from Madeline.
00:12:49Or did you not learn from last time?
00:12:51She is my fiancee.
00:12:53What business do you have interfering?
00:12:55Ex-fiancee. He's my fiancee now.
00:13:03Oh, come on, Madeline. Stop pretending.
00:13:06When's this whole wedding thing gonna happen, huh?
00:13:08We're getting married today.
00:13:10Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:13:12It's not gonna work.
00:13:13I mean it.
00:13:16How much did she pay you?
00:13:17I'll double it.
00:13:18You can't afford me.
00:13:20Really? You're gonna dump me for him?
00:13:23Are you dumb?
00:13:34Stop it.
00:13:35What is your problem?
00:13:37You called me a cheater.
00:13:39You must have been seeing him the whole damn time.
00:13:41Back off, Michael.
00:13:43You got five seconds to get out of here or I'm calling the cops.
00:13:46Fine.
00:13:47Plenty of other women to have fun with out there anyway.
00:13:54I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you with that eye.
00:13:56No worries.
00:14:01So, Madeline, about the marriage thing.
00:14:04You sure about it?
00:14:05Because there's no turning back.
00:14:10Because there's no turning back.
00:14:13What do you mean?
00:14:14Well, if I'm gonna get married, I'm only gonna do it once.
00:14:17So I want you to think it over.
00:14:19Don't rush into it.
00:14:21No, let's do it. Let's get married.
00:14:24It was my dad's wish anyway, and I trust his judgment.
00:14:28And I know you're gonna take care of me.
00:14:30I want this.
00:14:32The sound of heartbeats.
00:14:35This is your choice.
00:14:37No turning back.
00:14:45No turning back.
00:14:59I have something to tell you.
00:15:06What?
00:15:07You married Nicholas yesterday?
00:15:09Shh. No one's supposed to know yet.
00:15:11Oh my gosh. This is insane.
00:15:13He's like way older than you.
00:15:15So, was he good last night?
00:15:18Juliana!
00:15:20No, we didn't sleep together.
00:15:24Does he have like, erectile dysfunction or something?
00:15:30Erectile dysfunction?
00:15:31No. We got the marriage certificate and then he had to go on business trip.
00:15:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:15:37Madeline, if he's not treating you well, I will whoop his butt.
00:15:40No matter who he is.
00:15:42Thanks.
00:15:43Gotta get you a belated wedding gift.
00:15:46What is it?
00:15:48You'll see soon enough.
00:15:50Surprise!
00:16:05Juliana is such a tease for sending the lingerie.
00:16:12Not bad.
00:16:16Whoa.
00:16:17Careful.
00:16:26Why are you home so suddenly?
00:16:28I finished work. I came straight home.
00:16:32I'm sorry.
00:16:34I'm sorry.
00:16:36I'm sorry.
00:16:38I'm sorry.
00:16:40Straight home?
00:16:42What's with the...
00:16:45It's Juliana's wedding gift.
00:16:48I'll return it in the morning.
00:16:50Oh. I mean, you're already wearing it.
00:16:53Maybe you could keep it on?
00:16:59I'm sorry I missed you on the work trip.
00:17:01But, uh, I gotta make it up to you.
00:17:08It's fine.
00:17:09Oh, really?
00:17:11Well, we gotta make the most of it.
00:17:13I'm gonna go change.
00:17:19Such a tease.
00:17:25Okay. Breathe.
00:17:27We've already done it once. No big deal.
00:17:31What are you looking at?
00:17:33Uh, your designs. They're on the bed.
00:17:36Oh.
00:17:37Just rough designs.
00:17:39Nothing special. Let's go to sleep.
00:17:50Seriously, just fall asleep like that?
00:17:56Was he just teasing me earlier? I thought he wanted to...
00:18:00Never mind.
00:18:06I'm sorry.
00:18:36What goes up...
00:18:38What?
00:18:39Oh. Hey. Good morning.
00:18:48Yes, this is she.
00:18:50I passed the first interview for the PAL Group's design department?
00:18:54Yes, I'll get ready for the next round.
00:18:56Thank you!
00:18:58You were interviewing at my company?
00:19:01Yeah.
00:19:02Why come you didn't tell me?
00:19:05I wanted to do it on my own.
00:19:07Well, you're more than capable.
00:19:10I checked your designs last night. Very creative.
00:19:13We need designers like you.
00:19:15Really? You're not just saying that to be nice, are you?
00:19:21Have some faith in yourself.
00:19:23Come meet the design director this afternoon at three, okay?
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:35Madeline? What are you doing here?
00:19:38Personal business.
00:19:40Oh, come to win me back, have we?
00:19:42Please, leave me alone. I'm married.
00:19:47Married? You?
00:19:51Hi, I'm here for the three p.m. interview.
00:19:53Do you have an appointment?
00:19:55No, Mr. PAL asked me to come in.
00:19:57Oh, really?
00:19:59How do you know Mr. PAL?
00:20:01Could you please contact the design director for me?
00:20:03How hilarious!
00:20:05You know, you, a recent graduate with no project experience,
00:20:09how could you possibly have an interview with the design director?
00:20:13I can't find your appointment in this system.
00:20:16Have you tried contacting Mr. PAL directly?
00:20:23You need to get that shirt out.
00:20:25I need you to go and make sure all of the details are correct.
00:20:29Weird. No answer.
00:20:31Give me a break. Stop pretending.
00:20:34Honestly, she's just a recent graduate with no project experience.
00:20:38She couldn't possibly have an interview here, or even know Mr. PAL.
00:20:42Miss, if you don't actually have an appointment, I'm going to ask you to leave.
00:20:46Please, just give me a second. I'm sure he'll pick up his phone.
00:20:49Still playing pretend, Madeline?
00:20:51I'm not playing pretend.
00:20:53I'm going to ask you to leave.
00:20:55Please, just give me a second. I'm sure he'll pick up his phone.
00:20:57Still playing pretend, Madeline?
00:20:59Then tell us, how do you know Mr. PAL?
00:21:01Better not reveal my connection to Nicholas at the company.
00:21:04It wouldn't be good for him.
00:21:06That's none of your business.
00:21:08So you couldn't keep your sugar daddy satisfied,
00:21:11and now you're here to seduce Mr. PAL.
00:21:13Michael Lambert, you are absolutely disgusting.
00:21:16Well, you clearly don't have an appointment here, so you need to leave.
00:21:23Let's do this.
00:21:25Thank you, guys.
00:21:39Has my wife shown up for the interview yet?
00:21:41The design director said she hasn't.
00:21:45I'll go check it out.
00:21:47Fine, just...
00:21:51give me my phone back.
00:21:53Oh, you can have it. No more condition.
00:21:55What's that?
00:21:57I want you to be with me.
00:21:59Nice try, but no.
00:22:02Don't try and reject me, Madeline.
00:22:04I know you want me.
00:22:06Nice try, but no.
00:22:09Don't try and reject me, Madeline.
00:22:11I know you want me.
00:22:17I told you to stay the hell away from her.
00:22:22I told you to stay the hell away from her.
00:22:25God, you again.
00:22:27I can't believe you followed her here.
00:22:29Look, this is the prestigious PAL group, and...
00:22:33Who the hell do you think you are?
00:22:35You do not call the shots here.
00:22:37You okay?
00:22:39I'm fine.
00:22:40I'm the one handling HR for this company.
00:22:43You hit me, and you're done for.
00:22:45You're the one who's bothering me.
00:22:47I'm the one with the interview, and you're bothering me for no reason.
00:22:50An interview, you say?
00:22:52Who are you kidding, Madeline?
00:22:54You said Mr. PAL set it up.
00:22:56Well, I think you two are a bunch of scammers.
00:22:59What she said is legit.
00:23:01Then call Mr. PAL to prove it.
00:23:07Good afternoon, Mr. PAL.
00:23:13You're Mr. PAL?
00:23:18You're Mr. PAL?
00:23:20What's going on?
00:23:22Mr. PAL, she doesn't have an interview schedule.
00:23:25Mr. Michael Lambert thought she was faking it,
00:23:29and asked me to call security to usher her out of the building.
00:23:33He's just bitter because I broke up with him.
00:23:36Him. Mr. PAL.
00:23:38Mr. PAL would like to stay under the radar.
00:23:41He only shows up for big meetings.
00:23:43And you human resources, huh?
00:23:45Guess you don't read the company's memos.
00:23:52You are fired.
00:23:54Get your stuff and leave now.
00:23:56Mr. PAL, look, I made a mistake, all right?
00:23:58I can explain. Madeline, come on.
00:24:00We used to have some...
00:24:01Don't you ever touch her again.
00:24:03I won't. I swear.
00:24:05She's my wife now.
00:24:07And if you keep messing with her,
00:24:09I will make sure you never get another job in HR again.
00:24:11Or any job.
00:24:17Get rid of him now.
00:24:19Mr. PAL, please. I made a mistake, all right?
00:24:22Give me another chance.
00:24:24I resign. Wait for me in the interview room.
00:24:33Is mentioning our marriage at work really a good idea?
00:24:36The cat's already out of the bag. I'm not hiding you.
00:24:39But...
00:24:41What?
00:24:45You don't want to tell people that I'm your husband?
00:24:48No, I just...
00:24:50I don't want it to backfire on you.
00:24:52You might say the only reason I got this job was because of you.
00:24:55Listen.
00:24:57I believe in you, too.
00:24:59And forget what people say.
00:25:01Your opinion really matters to me.
00:25:03Right.
00:25:05I love you.
00:25:21Who are you supposed to be?
00:25:23Hi. I'm here for the interview.
00:25:25Alone? I thought I heard Mr. Powell.
00:25:28No, no. Just me.
00:25:30All right, then. Come on in.
00:25:36So she's Mr. Powell's wife.
00:25:39She seems so young.
00:25:41Here are my designs.
00:25:43I hope you like them.
00:25:49I really dig your designs.
00:25:51Let's get the ball rolling.
00:25:53Thank you, Mr. Fowler. That means a lot.
00:25:56Have a good day.
00:26:05Hello.
00:26:07I've got an interview, but I was running late.
00:26:09I'm Kaylee.
00:26:11Michael promised me he'd pull some strings to land me a sweet gig.
00:26:15Another one? Did I mix them up?
00:26:18Is she the real Mrs. Powell?
00:26:23Wow. She looks way more mature.
00:26:26Definitely Mr. Powell's vibe.
00:26:29Sir.
00:26:31I get it. I'm attractive.
00:26:33But I'm taken.
00:26:35And trust me, you do not want to cross him.
00:26:38So she's Mr. Powell's wife.
00:26:41Sorry about that.
00:26:43I'm Terry Fowler, the design director.
00:26:45Please take a seat.
00:26:47This won't take long.
00:26:49Okay.
00:26:51Looks like Michael wasn't bluffing.
00:26:53He's a real big shot here.
00:26:55Even the director is being searched.
00:26:57Looks like Michael wasn't bluffing.
00:26:59He's a real big shot here.
00:27:01Even the director is being searched.
00:27:13What's going on?
00:27:15I just got hired by your company.
00:27:27I just got hired by your company.
00:27:41Oh, there's a little something here.
00:27:44Oh, there's a little something here.
00:27:46What was I thinking?
00:27:48Did I really believe he was going to kiss me?
00:27:51I, uh...
00:27:53I should probably go change.
00:27:55Let's get you some new outfits.
00:27:57Now? Are we going to hit the mall?
00:28:04Hey, bring over the latest women's styles.
00:28:17Why all this?
00:28:19Because you're starting a new job.
00:28:21You need a killer style to match.
00:28:25It's not necessary.
00:28:27Come on.
00:28:30Try these on.
00:28:32I mean this one.
00:28:34Just so you know.
00:28:54I mean this one.
00:28:56Just so you know.
00:28:58Mr. Pao, I found these great work outfits for your wife.
00:29:25I mean...
00:29:26Whoa, sorry.
00:29:29Carry on.
00:29:31I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...
00:29:33Relax.
00:29:37I'll drive you to the office tomorrow.
00:29:42Nicholas is so sweet.
00:29:44I'm finding it hard not to fall for him.
00:29:51Here, let me out here.
00:29:53Why? We're almost there.
00:29:57Wait a minute. Is that Mr. Pao's car?
00:29:59I just... I don't want anyone to see us together.
00:30:02I'm the office new girl, and I want to keep a low profile.
00:30:05Catch you tonight?
00:30:13No way.
00:30:15He's dropping Mrs. Pao off at work.
00:30:21I got on the phone with our manufacturer this morning,
00:30:23and I said, we have to have our samples at the start of the month.
00:30:25We can't have them at the end of the month.
00:30:27No.
00:30:28Hi, Mr. Pao. Good morning.
00:30:32You're rocking that dress too.
00:30:34What's wrong with it?
00:30:36Is she Mr. Pao's wife?
00:30:40Watch it.
00:30:47You? What are you doing here?
00:30:49You took the words right out of my mouth.
00:30:52I'm the designer that Mr. Fowler brought in personally, and you?
00:30:55How did you even get into the Pao group?
00:30:57I knocked that interview out of the park, and I...
00:30:59Oh, please.
00:31:01Tricks, maybe.
00:31:03And you're copying my style.
00:31:06This is a designer piece.
00:31:08Super limited.
00:31:10My partner scored it for me at a high-end boutique.
00:31:12There is no way you could afford it.
00:31:15Is Michael that generous?
00:31:22I just hope she doesn't realize my clothes aren't the real ones.
00:31:31So I wasn't mistaken.
00:31:33Kaylee is Mr. Pao's wife.
00:31:36Kaylee Pittman.
00:31:38Meet Madeline Warren, our new recruit.
00:31:40Do you two know each other?
00:31:42No. Not at all.
00:31:44Mr. Fowler, maybe you should rethink your standards a little.
00:31:48How can a fashion designer wear such obvious knockoffs?
00:31:51What knockoffs?
00:31:53Madeline, I am aware that you just graduated, and perhaps a bit strapped for cash.
00:31:58I will overlook it this time, but won't let it slide again.
00:32:01But I...
00:32:05Stella, can you show our new teammates where to get settled?
00:32:09I'm Stella Thomas, one of the senior designers.
00:32:12Don't hesitate to ask me anything.
00:32:14Uh, hi.
00:32:16Can you show me to my desk?
00:32:19It's over there.
00:32:24Let me show you to your desk.
00:32:26After you.
00:32:27Oh, you're incredibly gracious, Mrs. Powell.
00:32:33Wait. What?
00:32:35I heard Mr. Powell tied the knot and brought his wife to the design team.
00:32:38That's you, right?
00:32:39Yep. Mr. Powell said to take really good care of you.
00:32:42You're married to Mr. Powell and still so driven? That's...
00:32:45So they think I'm Nicholas Powell's wife.
00:32:49Perfect. With Michael gone, I'll need someone to be my support.
00:32:53Look, I'd rather just keep things low-key around here, so call me Kaylee, not Mrs. Powell.
00:33:00Of course.
00:33:01Sure thing.
00:33:03There's a fantastic restaurant downstairs.
00:33:05Perfect.
00:33:06Let's do lunch together.
00:33:07Let's do it.
00:33:08Let's go.
00:33:16I love you.
00:33:31I'm starving.
00:33:33Then you should grab a bite.
00:33:36What are you doing here?
00:33:38Brought you some lunch.
00:33:40Why is it such a mess? Are you not getting any support from your team?
00:33:44It's fine. The corner's quiet. I like it.
00:33:47Seriously?
00:33:49Yes.
00:33:51But you should get out. Someone might see you.
00:33:57Mr. Powell. What are you doing here?
00:34:02Mr. Powell. What are you doing here?
00:34:06I was just bringing my wife some lunch.
00:34:10Wow. Mr. Powell really loves his wife.
00:34:14The bonus. I'll get them next time.
00:34:22That was way too close.
00:34:30You need to finish these off before the end of the day.
00:34:33Kaylee, this is your work. Do it yourself.
00:34:39Madeline, you're new. You need to show that you can handle more around here.
00:34:44If I do all of her work, what's left for her to do?
00:34:48I have an appointment. I need to leave early.
00:34:52Yeah. Right.
00:34:54Of course. We can't let you miss that.
00:34:58Seriously, Kaylee? Dumping all this work on me so you can go on a date with Michael?
00:35:03Michael? The HR guy that just got fired?
00:35:07What's going on between you two?
00:35:12What's going on between you two?
00:35:14Michael got fired and lied to me about quitting.
00:35:18I don't know him, but Madeline does. That used to be a thing.
00:35:23We broke up ages ago. My husband is Nick.
00:35:27Keep calm, girl. Don't expose your relationship with Nicholas because of him.
00:35:31Nick who?
00:35:33Don't tell me Nicholas is your husband.
00:35:36Madeline, you think we don't know? Mr. Powell's wife is right here.
00:35:40Wait. They already know?
00:35:42Enough. Don't waste your breath on her.
00:35:48I want these done by tomorrow morning.
00:35:54Fine. Let them challenge me. I'll make it an opportunity to grow.
00:36:07Poor Madeline. I'll return Michael to you. No need to thank me.
00:36:20Hey. I'm sorry. I've got a few things to wrap up here. You got on without me.
00:36:25What's going on?
00:36:27It's nothing. It's just settling into a new job. It's a lot to take in at first.
00:36:35Alright. I'll wait for you at home.
00:36:59Why isn't she home yet?
00:37:03Why doesn't she answer her calls?
00:37:17Michael, what are you doing here?
00:37:21Madeline, I can't get you out of my mind.
00:37:24Weren't you fired? How did you get in here?
00:37:26Oh, drop the tough act. Kaylee said you still like me.
00:37:30What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't step back, I'm calling security.
00:37:35Oh, it's late. It's just us.
00:37:40You remember Nicholas's wife, right? He's the CEO.
00:37:44Oh, I know him.
00:37:47Madeline, let's be real. Nicholas may be rich, but he's old. He can't give you what you really want.
00:37:54I could be your little secret if you let me. Just one night.
00:37:58And I promise you'll never go back.
00:38:08What is Michael doing here? Madeline can't get over him, but bringing him to the office.
00:38:18How dare you? I will never get back with you.
00:38:22Seriously, how many women have you used besides Kaylee? You're repulsive.
00:38:27You crazy bitch! You kicked me again?
00:38:30Honestly, walking in on you was the best decision I ever made.
00:38:34Madeline, you can't run away.
00:38:41You can't walk away from me.
00:38:45Nick, why are you here?
00:38:47Usually he'd be home by now, so I came looking for him.
00:38:50I warned you, Michael. Do you have a death wish?
00:38:53No. It's not like that.
00:38:56She called me. She said she missed me and wanted me to be her lover.
00:39:02That's absurd. Nick has morals, financially stable, and handsome.
00:39:07Madeline, I'm younger. I've got more stamina, and at least I can get it up.
00:39:14You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:39:17Enough. Save it for the cops.
00:39:19No. No. No!
00:39:22Stop right there!
00:39:23Let him go. He won't get far.
00:39:32I feel like I'm always causing you trouble.
00:39:36Michael's the problem, not you.
00:39:39Thank you for coming.
00:39:44Thank you for coming. I'm really glad you're here.
00:39:48Don't count on me.
00:39:50I'm younger. I've got more stamina, and at least I can get it up.
00:39:59You look wiped out. Let's get you home.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:10You're so young. Full of dreams.
00:40:15Am I really the man for you, or am I just holding you back?
00:40:32You'll need to polish these up, too.
00:40:34Seriously, Kaylie? I spent all night on these designs.
00:40:39That's it? Nothing else happened?
00:40:42What are you talking about?
00:40:44Come on. Don't play coy. I know Michael came by. You two back on?
00:40:50Never. What? How did you even know he was here?
00:40:56Did you call him?
00:41:01Did you call him?
00:41:05Kaylie, are you out of your mind?
00:41:07You knew I was working late, and yet you still called Michael to come over in the middle of the night.
00:41:11Are you insane? What were you trying to do?
00:41:14I was just trying to help you two patch things up.
00:41:18How can you be so ungrateful?
00:41:20I'm telling Mr. Fowler this.
00:41:23You think Mr. Fowler is going to take your side over mine?
00:41:28Mr. Fowler wants you to finish these like yesterday already.
00:41:37Okay.
00:41:47Where is she?
00:42:01Are the newcomers really that busy?
00:42:04Or is she dodging me?
00:42:08Mr. Powell, is everything okay between you and your wife?
00:42:14She seems to be leaving early and coming back home late a lot.
00:42:19No, we're not fighting. It's complicated.
00:42:23What's going on?
00:42:26I just don't think we're a good match. You know?
00:42:30I've tried to keep my distance since the wedding, and she's so young.
00:42:34What if she regrets marrying me one day?
00:42:37Mr. Powell, you're overthinking all of this.
00:42:41You and your wife just need to talk it out.
00:42:46Seriously?
00:42:50Well, tomorrow I could go to the design department.
00:42:53Perfect chance to speak with her.
00:43:05Here's the latest batch. Finish them quickly.
00:43:09I...
00:43:10Hey, guys. Mr. Powell is swinging by soon for an inspection.
00:43:16Mr. Powell never comes and checks out our department. He's definitely here for you.
00:43:20You think so?
00:43:22I've got to dodge this, or my secret's toast.
00:43:27I'll be right back. I've just got to think this through.
00:43:30What's more important than seeing Mr. Powell? You have to hype me up to him later.
00:43:35Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:43:36Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:43:37Hi, Mr. Powell.
00:43:43So this is Nicholas Powell. Wow, he's a real stud.
00:43:47Mr. Powell, your wife is right here.
00:43:52Oh, my God, she fainted!
00:43:55Oh, my God, she fainted!
00:44:00Madeline!
00:44:05Madeline!
00:44:07Madeline?
00:44:08Nick.
00:44:10Are you okay?
00:44:12My head's spinning like a top.
00:44:14Yeah, I got it.
00:44:25Why did Mr. Powell ignore you and carry Madeline off?
00:44:31Well, she fainted. We've got to make sure she's okay.
00:44:36If something goes wrong here at the Powell Group, we could all get the blame for it.
00:44:40That's very true. Mr. Powell's got a good head on his shoulders.
00:44:43Or maybe Madeline's playing a game and trying to get close to Mr. Powell.
00:44:47Stop gossiping. Let's not assume or jump to conclusions.
00:44:51Come on. She's just a newbie. She can't be that worn out.
00:44:57Honestly, my marriage is a wreck right now.
00:45:03Madeline is the other woman.
00:45:09What? Are you saying Madeline's been seducing Mr. Powell this entire time?
00:45:15No wonder Madeline wore the same outfit as Kaylee that day.
00:45:19She totally planned that.
00:45:21Madeline gets back, she's out.
00:45:23She's a shameless homewrecker. I can't stand being in the same department with someone like her.
00:45:28You all shouldn't get involved.
00:45:31I mean, he may have brought her into the company.
00:45:34If this blows up, he could divorce me on the spot.
00:45:40You might all get dragged into this too.
00:45:42So, it's best to act like you don't know anything.
00:45:46Karma is bound to catch up with someone like Madeline the homewrecker.
00:45:50When Mr. Powell gets to his senses, he'll leave her.
00:45:53Thanks for having my back.
00:45:56She's just overworked and exhausted. A bit of rest and she'll be fine, okay?
00:46:00Alright, thank you.
00:46:04Don't go.
00:46:13I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:15I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:17I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:19I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:21I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:23I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:25I'll be right here next to you.
00:46:28You scared me when you fainted.
00:46:31You've been working long hours at the offices.
00:46:34Is there someone in the design department that's bothering you?
00:46:40Is there someone in the design department that's bothering you?
00:46:43No.
00:46:46You need to be honest with me.
00:46:48You can't fool me.
00:46:49A newbie in the design department doesn't work these hours.
00:46:52It's not normal for you to be working this hard.
00:46:56Okay.
00:46:57Someone is making things a bit overwhelming for me.
00:47:02I want to sort it out myself.
00:47:04But you've just passed out. If you keep this up, it's...
00:47:07I won't. I swear.
00:47:09If you say so.
00:47:12But if you can't handle it, you need to tell me.
00:47:14I will. I promise.
00:47:17Please open up to me.
00:47:23You take the bedroom tonight. I'll rest in the guest house.
00:47:27We're married.
00:47:28We've shared the bed before. What's the problem?
00:47:32You need your rest.
00:47:34You need to focus on yourself.
00:47:37I'm sorry.
00:47:50Am I not what he wants anymore?
00:47:54Is he having second thoughts about marrying me?
00:48:01Wait, what?
00:48:02Nicholas hasn't touched you since the wedding.
00:48:04Yeah, he's still nice to me.
00:48:07Something's different now. I don't know, he...
00:48:10It feels like he might regret marrying me.
00:48:12Like, he's not into me anymore.
00:48:15Don't sweat it. You can turn this around.
00:48:18But first you gotta tell me.
00:48:20Do you actually like Nicholas?
00:48:24Yeah.
00:48:25He's so nice and supportive.
00:48:28He's always there for me.
00:48:30I can't picture my life without him.
00:48:34I'm totally falling for him.
00:48:36If you're into him, it's easy.
00:48:38I'll give you tips to make Nicholas head over heels for you.
00:48:41Seriously?
00:48:42Now.
00:48:43Hey.
00:49:01I brought you some milk.
00:49:05Thanks.
00:49:10Did it burn you?
00:49:13It really hurts.
00:49:15Okay, I'll go get some ointment.
00:49:18No need for that. I'll be fine.
00:49:21I promise.
00:49:23I'll still go get some ointment. I don't want you to scar.
00:49:38Are you sure this is what you want?
00:49:40Don't start with that.
00:49:54Morning.
00:49:55Still tired?
00:49:59Crap. I'm gonna be late.
00:50:11I gotta go.
00:50:24Give me an update on the design department.
00:50:27I wanna know who's messing with my wife.
00:50:41Let's take this to the news.
00:50:52Listen up everyone, I got news.
00:50:54Next quarter's design exhibition has been bumped up.
00:50:58We need theme collections.
00:51:00And there's a $10,000 bonus to the winner.
00:51:03No way!
00:51:08Seriously?
00:51:09Shouldn't we have some standards?
00:51:11We shouldn't have to compete with some people.
00:51:20Who are you referring to?
00:51:22If you've got a problem, say it straight to my face.
00:51:25Fine.
00:51:27A mistress like you doesn't belong in the same exhibition as us.
00:51:31Mistress? Me?
00:51:34What? You're not?
00:51:36You'd better explain yourself. Why are you calling me that?
00:51:40Madeline, enough!
00:51:41You're green. Fresh out of school.
00:51:44It's better if you sit this one out, just in case your designs get laughed at.
00:51:49Laughed at?
00:51:50The only one getting laughed at is you.
00:51:52My designs are the first to be picked.
00:51:55And you, Kaylee?
00:51:57You haven't even finished a single piece, have you?
00:52:00You!
00:52:01I'm going to that exhibition.
00:52:03And don't even think about sabotaging me or my work.
00:52:14You've got more patience than I do.
00:52:16If that were me, I would have slapped her right there and then.
00:52:19Don't worry. She'll regret it soon enough.
00:52:33Kaylee?
00:52:50What's wrong? Can't sleep?
00:52:52The design exhibition is tomorrow. I'm freaking out a little.
00:52:55Relax.
00:52:59You got this.
00:53:03I got this.
00:53:26Each designer will present their concept.
00:53:28The judges, including myself, will give scores and feedback.
00:53:32Relax. You've got this.
00:53:34Let's bring up our first designer.
00:53:37Kaylee Pittman.
00:53:53Good afternoon, judges.
00:53:55My design is inspired by the simplicity of daisies.
00:54:00Wait.
00:54:02Those are my designs.
00:54:07Daisies stand for beauty and innocence.
00:54:10I hope that whoever wears this feels the beauty of life.
00:54:18Miss Pittman, your designs are so creative.
00:54:22They're not unique.
00:54:24But they capture the idea of a perfect life.
00:54:28I'm leaning towards a perfect score.
00:54:33Ten.
00:54:34Thank you. Thank you.
00:54:36Could you tell us what your inspiration was?
00:54:39Of course. The idea came from my late grandmother.
00:54:43Daisies were her favorite.
00:54:45And her last wish was to wear something designed by me.
00:54:51She's lying.
00:54:53She's lying. These aren't her designs.
00:54:57These are mine. Kaylee stole them.
00:54:59Madeline, your behavior is unacceptable.
00:55:02You're cut from the exhibition.
00:55:04What? Why am I disqualified?
00:55:06Your designs are exactly like Kaylee's.
00:55:08But she straight up copied me.
00:55:10That's enough.
00:55:11Kaylee managed to submit her work before yours.
00:55:14How on earth could she have copied your work?
00:55:21Kaylee managed to submit her work before yours.
00:55:24How on earth could she have copied your work?
00:55:28Can you believe her?
00:55:29She has the nerve to steal Kaylee's design and then slander her like that.
00:55:34Kaylee needs my help to finish her sketch.
00:55:37How on earth could I plagiarize her?
00:55:39She's lying through her teeth.
00:55:40All these sketches are mine.
00:55:42I have no clue when Kaylee stole them.
00:55:44But she's the real thief here.
00:55:46Madeline, this is no time for drama.
00:55:50Just leave.
00:55:51No. I'm not going anywhere.
00:55:53Everything I've said is the truth.
00:55:55The one who needs to go isn't me.
00:55:57Enough.
00:56:01Madeline, how could a newbie like you whip up something this good?
00:56:05The daisy?
00:56:06That's not even a design concept.
00:56:08That's just my personal signature.
00:56:10It's on all of my sketches.
00:56:12And I can prove it.
00:56:18Alright, let's see what you've got.
00:56:20Absolutely.
00:56:24Oh.
00:56:30Kaylee, have you lost your mind?
00:56:32Your designs deserve none of our time.
00:56:34You must have stolen my ideas all along.
00:56:36Then why trash my sketches?
00:56:38Scared everyone will see the truth?
00:56:40I just don't want to waste time listening to your lies.
00:56:44Mr. Fowler, Madeline has been after me for way too long.
00:56:47She needs to go.
00:56:50You're right. She's a disgrace to this company.
00:56:52Madeline, you're fired.
00:56:54Not until we sort this out.
00:56:56I want to see the security footage.
00:56:58Don't even waste your time on her.
00:57:00She's just stirring up drama like always.
00:57:02Mr. Fowler, call security.
00:57:04No need for security.
00:57:06I'll handle this.
00:57:10Don't you dare.
00:57:15Don't you dare.
00:57:18Mr. Powell, what are you doing here?
00:57:20Oh, no.
00:57:22This is a total nightmare.
00:57:24Why is Nicholas here?
00:57:26Terry, how dare you treat Madeline like that?
00:57:29Are you trying to get yourself fired?
00:57:30Mr. Powell, Madeline's got to go.
00:57:32She has no moral compass.
00:57:33Not only did she plagiarize, but also she...
00:57:36Also what?
00:57:38Just plagiarism is enough to let her go.
00:57:41Exactly, Mr. Powell.
00:57:43It's company policy.
00:57:44No exceptions for Madeline.
00:57:46And it's not fair to the rest of us.
00:57:48Especially Kaylee.
00:57:49Kaylee's the one who plagiarized, not me.
00:57:52Have you gotten proof?
00:57:54I had proof. Kaylee worked it out.
00:57:56Let's get the surveillance from the design department.
00:57:59Right away, Mr. Powell.
00:58:03Mr. Powell, the video surveillance has suspiciously been wiped off.
00:58:11Lucky for me, I took care of those cameras beforehand.
00:58:15It would have been a real mess otherwise.
00:58:19Look, I get it, okay?
00:58:22You like Madeline.
00:58:24But you can't defend her without evidence.
00:58:27Mr. Powell, Kaylee has brilliant skills.
00:58:30There's no denying that.
00:58:31What's that got to do with me?
00:58:33Mr. Powell, you have been quite harsh on her.
00:58:35This is my fight.
00:58:37Why are you dragging him in?
00:58:38Because you need to own up.
00:58:40Just admit that you plagiarized.
00:58:43Well, maybe we should do some live designing together.
00:58:46A quick comparison with the design will make things clear.
00:58:51It's way too complicated.
00:58:53Go grab some paper and pen for me.
00:59:01All right, let's go with the theme of daisies.
00:59:04Create a design draft on the spot.
00:59:16Kaylee, what in the world is that?
00:59:38Well, that's obvious.
00:59:40Kaylee can't even sketch a decent design.
00:59:42She's the real plagiarist here.
00:59:47I messed up!
00:59:48Mr. Powell, Kaylee messed up by copying,
00:59:51but maybe she only did it because she was
00:59:54upset about your secret affair with Madeline.
00:59:56Terry, that is ridiculous.
00:59:58You told me to look after your wife.
01:00:00What happened to that?
01:00:01How dare you bring that up?
01:00:03Did you even take care of her?
01:00:05Well, I'm right here, supporting her.
01:00:11Wait.
01:00:12You think Nicholas's wife is Kaylee?
01:00:21Yeah, isn't she?
01:00:23I am Nicholas's...
01:00:25Madeline, you're too young to be in this mess.
01:00:28Why would you choose to wreck their marriage?
01:00:30Excuse me?
01:00:32Who said that Madeline is my mistress?
01:00:36I haven't even met who this woman is.
01:00:39What the hell?
01:00:41You had us all believe you were Mr. Powell's wife.
01:00:44You were the one that mistook me for her.
01:00:47It's not my fault you're clueless.
01:00:49And you let us all believe that.
01:00:51You knew we were wrong and you didn't say anything.
01:00:54How could you?
01:00:55Please, you were piling on Madeline too.
01:00:58Don't act all high and mighty with me.
01:01:00Enough!
01:01:02I'm done with both of you.
01:01:04You're both fired. Pack your things and get out.
01:01:06No!
01:01:09Mr. Powell, I...
01:01:11I nearly threw Madeline underneath the bus.
01:01:13Forgive me?
01:01:15I'm really sorry.
01:01:16Apologize to my wife.
01:01:18Not me.
01:01:23Mrs. Powell, I'm truly sorry.
01:01:25Can you please forgive me?
01:01:27Yeah, we're really sorry, Mrs. Powell.
01:01:29We messed up big time.
01:01:30Please, Mrs. Powell, we screwed up. It won't happen again.
01:01:39What's wrong?
01:01:41You don't look so good.
01:01:43I just got a bit worked up.
01:01:45Just tired.
01:01:46I'll take you home.
01:01:47No.
01:01:48I'll be fine. Just give me a minute.
01:01:50We have to go.
01:01:58Well, Mrs. Powell, looks like you're expecting.
01:02:04Wow, really?
01:02:06A little over a month now.
01:02:08It's time to take it easy, rest up, and watch what you're eating, okay?
01:02:12Okay, I can do that.
01:02:14And Mr. Powell, please take her in for another... for a proper check-up soon, okay?
01:02:17Of course. Thank you, Doctor.
01:02:22Nick!
01:02:24We're having a baby!
01:02:30You don't seem happy.
01:02:33You don't seem happy.
01:02:35No, I'm happy.
01:02:39Okay, great. Then let's go to the hospital later and we'll get everything checked out.
01:02:43Yeah, sure. I'll go get that arranged.
01:02:46I'll go get that arranged.
01:03:01Hey, Juliana, I'm going to be a mom!
01:03:03You're pregnant? Congrats!
01:03:06Thanks.
01:03:08And of course, you're going to be my baby's code mother.
01:03:11Obviously.
01:03:12Speaking of which, how's Nicholas handling this?
01:03:14I mean, the future Powell, Aaron, all.
01:03:16I don't know. He doesn't seem happy.
01:03:20What? No, he's just processing it.
01:03:23It's a lot. Don't stress.
01:03:26Thanks. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
01:03:30Would terminating it hurt?
01:03:32Yeah, almost two months ago.
01:03:35He wants to get rid of that baby?
01:03:38Yeah, almost two months ago.
01:03:45Yeah, she passed out a few days ago, but...
01:03:48Is it too dangerous for her to have the child now?
01:03:51I understand your concern, but with our care she'll be fine. Don't stress.
01:03:58That's good to hear.
01:04:01That's good to hear.
01:04:15This is a nightmare!
01:04:17He doesn't want the baby. He never wanted me!
01:04:21Madeline?
01:04:23Madeline?
01:04:28If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess.
01:04:31You owe me.
01:04:33Kaylie, what the hell is this?
01:04:36Where are you?
01:04:37You're really that desperate?
01:04:39Desperate? This is all your fault!
01:04:42You've ruined me! I lost my job at Powell.
01:04:45I've been blacklisted everywhere, and I am drowning in debt because of you!
01:04:49Kaylie, listen. We can talk this out. I can help you.
01:04:53Help me? You think you're better than me.
01:04:56I took your boyfriend, and you still ended up with everything!
01:04:59Mr. Powell. Perfect, rich life.
01:05:03While I have nothing!
01:05:05I'm never...
01:05:07If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.
01:05:11Stop!
01:05:15Madeline.
01:05:17Are you hurt? Talk to me.
01:05:27She's just in shock. She'll wake up soon.
01:05:30And the baby will be perfectly fine.
01:05:33Thank you, Doctor.
01:05:48Finally, you're awake.
01:05:52Madeline, what were you thinking?
01:05:54Why did you go out alone?
01:05:58Do you have any idea of how risky that is?
01:06:00If not for me, but for the baby.
01:06:02Stop pretending you care.
01:06:04You don't actually want this child.
01:06:07You want me to get rid of it.
01:06:09That is not true. I'm over the moon about the baby.
01:06:12Liar! I don't care about the baby.
01:06:16Liar! I heard you on the phone!
01:06:19I was worried.
01:06:21I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay after what happened.
01:06:24What did the doctor say?
01:06:26She said that there's nothing serious.
01:06:29Take care of yourself, and everything will be okay.
01:06:32That's a relief.
01:06:34I'm sorry to have you so worried.
01:06:37Madeline, why can't you trust me?
01:06:40So we got married because it's my dad's wishes.
01:06:43You don't actually like me, do you?
01:06:46I love you deeply, Madeline.
01:06:49Me?
01:06:51You love me?
01:06:53Deeply.
01:06:55From the moment I first laid eyes on you.
01:06:57I was drawn to you, and you just didn't know it.
01:07:01How could I? You never said anything.
01:07:05I was scared.
01:07:08You have so much of a life to explore,
01:07:10and before getting stuck with someone like me,
01:07:13you're still young.
01:07:17I was worried that you'd think I was childish or mature.
01:07:22You're incredible.
01:07:24Honestly, I've loved you for a long time.
01:07:28Are you serious?
01:07:30I am.
01:07:32Nicholas, I love you.
01:07:34I love you more, Madeline.
01:07:38Feel it.
01:07:40In every beat of my heart.
