00:21Freda, come inside and help.
00:31Why do I keep dreaming about what happened eight years ago?
00:40Shoot, I overslept.
00:48Honey, aren't you home yet?
00:50Working late.
00:52When will you be back?
00:54When are you going to divorce that frampy housewife of yours?
00:59Soon, I promise.
01:09Honey, are you listening?
01:14Just reviewing some files.
01:16I'll be late.
01:17Then I'm off to work.
01:19You're pregnant, don't push yourself too hard.
01:21I just want to share some of your burden.
01:24All right, babe, I'm swamped right now.
01:27We'll talk later.
01:37We'll talk later.
01:48A toast to the return of the youngest hotshot on Wall Street.
01:52The whole financial world is shaking in its boots.
01:59Yeah.
02:02Who ordered the flowers?
02:05Who ordered the flowers?
02:12What the hell?
02:13Look at the time.
02:14Didn't I tell you to get here at eight?
02:23Shh.
02:25I'm so sorry.
02:27It's my fault for being late.
02:29My girl already got pissed and left.
02:31What the fuck is an apology gonna do?
02:36Ian, your friend's character leaves a lot to be desired.
02:40Him?
02:41Just some local trust-run kid.
02:44Spoiled rotten by his dad.
02:46Excuse his temper.
02:52Cool it, man.
02:53Can't you see the lady's knocked up?
02:56Keep your money.
02:58Sparing her a beating is doing her a favor.
03:01Pretty little thing, though.
03:03A pregnant chick.
03:05That's a first for me.
03:14Mr. Sterling.
03:18Had a few too many and now you're acting like a raved dog?
03:21You think you own the place at Gideon's party?
03:25The business circle in this city needs some fresh blood.
03:29Understood.
03:31Sir, I'm sorry.
03:33I messed up.
03:35I'm sorry.
03:42Take off your jacket.
03:44Huh?
03:46Oh, right.
03:54Sorry if that scared you.
03:56It's not safe for you to head back alone.
03:58I'll drive you.
03:59That won't be necessary.
04:01I said I'll drive you.
04:03Where do you live?
04:05Why does this stranger feel so familiar to me?
04:09Oak Ridge apartment.
04:17You married?
04:21Yes.
04:22How many months along?
04:24Five months.
04:25Does your husband treat you well?
04:27My dad has been sick and he's been covering the medical bills.
04:30He also surprises me on our anniversaries.
04:34Over the years, he's been a good husband.
04:38I suppose.
04:39I asked, does he treat you well?
04:44Babe, I love you the most.
04:49Babe, you work so hard.
04:51Why don't you quit?
04:53Stay home, be my beautiful wife, and let me take care of you.
04:58What's for dinner tonight?
05:02Wash these too while you're at it.
05:05He's alright.
05:09We're here.
05:15Unlock it.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Got it.
05:31Not getting out?
05:35Not getting out?
05:39You know him?
05:42That's my husband.
05:43I don't want him to get the wrong idea.
05:45One way glass.
05:47He can't see in.
05:48I'm just dropping you off.
05:50With a reaction like that, one might think we were...
05:53sneaking around.
05:55I just don't know how to explain why another man is dropping me off.
05:58He's gone.
06:01Eight years really is a long time.
06:04The little girl from downstairs is married now.
06:07Mr. Sterling, where to next?
06:10Home.
06:11Oh my god.
06:12Please, I know.
06:14Don't worry, I'll deal with Freya as soon as possible.
06:17Having to go home every single day, you're such a buzzkill.
06:20I don't care, I gave you the stuff.
06:23Fix it within a week or don't even bother seeing me again.
06:26Okay.
06:26Okay, I know.
06:27Give Huddy a kiss, you little tease.
06:31Who are you on the phone with?
06:39A client.
06:40Too many client calls lately.
06:46You must be exhausted.
06:48I noticed you haven't touched the dinner on the table.
06:50Have you already eaten?
06:52I ate out.
06:53Pretty stuffed actually.
06:54Okay.
06:57Gonna hit the shower first.
07:01What?
07:01What are you paying the rent?
07:02Pay up!
07:03Or pack your bags and get the hell out!
07:05As soon as I can.
07:07Hurry it up, deadbeat!
07:10I will make it to the top.
07:14Little girl, when the time comes, I'll be back to marry you.
07:19Mom.
07:19Gideon, now that you're back, it's time to start thinking about marriage.
07:23Can you tie the knot this year?
07:24I'm still waiting for my grandchild.
07:38I already swapped the pills inside.
07:41Give them to your wife.
07:43What is this?
07:44You can't bring yourself to divorce her just because she's pregnant, can you?
07:50So, if the baby is gone, problem solved.
07:55Are you insane?
07:56That's still my child!
08:00It's just a baby.
08:01Anyone can have one.
08:03Besides, your wife's family is broke.
08:05Her parents just ran a little cafe back in the day.
08:07And now her dad's sick.
08:09Tell me, if she actually gives birth to this kid, do you really think you'll ever get rid of her?
08:14Julian, I'm an heiress for God's sake.
08:17If you hadn't lied to me for half a year, do you think I'd be caught dead as the other
08:21woman?
08:21I don't care anymore.
08:23It's either her or me.
08:24Choose.
08:25Darling, Vanguard Group is about to be acquired.
08:29The VP job is practically yours.
08:31But if they find out you're secretly married and abandoned your wife, that'll ruin your reputation.
08:38I got it.
08:40What are you looking at?
08:44Nothing.
08:45It's late.
08:46You should get some rest.
08:48Yeah.
08:56No.
08:59No.
09:00No.
09:02No.
09:03No.
09:03Sir.
09:03Sir.
09:04I'm married.
09:09I can't believe I'm having dreams like that.
09:32Freda, I picked up a ton of baby stuff for you while I was out.
09:35Come grab afternoon tea with me.
09:36Sounds great.
09:39You finally made it.
09:40I can only stay for a bit though, something came up.
09:46These are all for the baby, tiny clothes, tiny shoes.
09:50I'm still months away from my due date, plus we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl
09:54yet.
09:54Boy or girl, we can prepare ahead, I bought clothes for both.
09:57When the baby comes, you have to let me hold them.
10:00Yes, yes of course.
10:03That handsome guy in the corner, you know him?
10:05No, never seen him before.
10:08Oh shoot, Freda, I gotta run.
10:10Server, check please.
10:11Let me get it.
10:12I won't argue with that.
10:13Bye.
10:13Bye.
10:16Server!
10:18Hello ma'am, that gentleman over there has already taken care of it.
10:25How much was it?
10:26I'll pay you back.
10:31Have a seat.
10:32How much was it?
10:33I'll pay you back.
10:36I have cash on me, I can pay you right now.
10:38Then don't pay me back.
10:39Keep owing me.
10:45How could it be him?
10:47Your husband is Julian Vance, the regional manager at Vanguard Group.
10:50You know my husband?
10:52Seen him in magazines, his career is on the rise.
10:55You studied design before, right?
10:58Why are you selling flowers?
10:59How do you know I study design?
11:01Don't get me wrong.
11:02I just think a real man should give his wife opportunities, status and connections.
11:07He should lift her up.
11:08Not make her give up what she loves just to please him.
11:13What do you think?
11:17This should be enough.
11:23Your shampoo smells great.
11:29You need to take more supplements during your second trimester.
11:37I had someone buy these prenatal vitamins for you a while ago.
11:42You bought them for me?
11:44Take it.
11:54You look so pale.
11:57What's wrong?
11:58It's just the whole acquisition thing with the big corporation lately.
12:02Giving me a bit of a nervous breakdown.
12:04Then hurry up and take a couple of these.
12:06No need.
12:07You do your thing.
12:10I'll wash the glass.
12:17I'm outside your apartment gates.
12:19Come out.
12:19I have something for you.
12:21What exactly do you want?
12:22Sir, I'm married.
12:24And pregnant.
12:25If you don't come get it yourself, I'll just have someone hand it over to Julian.
12:30I'm going out to take out the trash.
12:37Sir, I don't think I left anything with you, did I?
12:40Get in.
12:41Standing next to my car isn't exactly subtle, is it?
12:49Sir, please.
12:51Could you stop harassing me from now on?
12:57You think I'm just some cheap homewrecker trying to slide into another man's bed?
13:01You left your hair clip in my car.
13:04Sorry, I misunderstood.
13:07This is what actual seduction looks like.
13:12Babe!
13:13Babe!
13:18She just took the pill.
13:19What if it kicks in and someone sees her?
13:23My husband is coming.
13:25Sir, please roll up the window.
13:28Anxious, are we?
13:34If my husband sees me in another man's car, I won't know how to explain it.
13:51Now, it really feels like we're sneaking around.
13:55Babe!
13:59Are you in there?
14:07Bastard.
14:13Well, if I don't act like a bastard, wouldn't I be getting cursed at for nothing?
14:22What the hell are you barking about in the middle of the night?
14:25Lurking by my car like a damn ghost.
14:28Scared the crap out of me.
14:30Sorry about that, I'll go look somewhere else.
14:36Julian Vance.
14:38Long time no see.
14:44If your husband ever bullies you, call me anytime.
14:49No matter where I am, I'll come get you.
14:53I've got your back.
14:56You don't exactly look like a good guy.
14:58Remember what I said.
14:59It always stands.
15:00Psycho.
15:02Hope we never meet again.
15:14Where did you run off to?
15:19I ate too much tonight and my stomach's upset so I came out for a walk.
15:25It's not safe this late.
15:26Let's go home.
15:30If this is the happiness you want, goodbye forever.
15:39When two people form a state of quantum entanglement, if one suffers a hardship,
15:45or an edge, or an emotional is breakdown, the other might experience a mysterious connection.
16:05My phone.
16:18Does it hurt like something is churning inside you?
16:22Who are you?
16:24Why are you holding my husband's arm?
16:27Your husband?
16:28You're cheating on me!
16:30Yes.
16:31Julian, take me to the hospital.
16:33No.
16:34It's not just about the baby.
16:36The woman you've become is no longer good enough for the man I've become.
16:48So my stomach pain isn't a coincidence.
16:55You two are absolutely despicable!
17:01Freya, marrying you was a moment of insanity.
17:05You should know exactly what you brought to the table back then.
17:10You're no longer good enough for me now.
17:12Before we got married, I had a job.
17:14I had guys chasing me.
17:16To take care of you, I quit my job as a designer.
17:19And now you think I'm not presentable?
17:21Julian has been more than decent to you.
17:23Otherwise, do you think that baby in your belly would have survived this long?
17:26Besides, I'm prettier than you, richer than you, and come from a better family.
17:30Any idiot would know who to choose.
17:33Freya, let me tell you.
17:34I love Lydia.
17:36You love your mistress?
17:37Then who was it that said he loved me when we got married?
17:43Who are you calling a mistress?
17:44The unloved one is the mistress.
17:47Julian, she's cursing at me.
17:52I'll get someone from the clinic to handle her.
17:54You just stay right here and behave.
17:56Don't even think about going anywhere.
17:59If your husband ever bullies you, call me anytime.
18:02No matter where I am, I'll come get you.
18:04I've got your back.
18:18Hello?
18:19Gideon, how's the Vanguard Group acquisition going?
18:21They asked me to check in.
18:22The project's on hold.
18:24The man I hate the most married the woman I care about.
18:27Julian, you'd better treat her right for the rest of your life.
18:31Your dad's illness cost me a fortune these past few years.
18:34You leave with nothing and we're even.
18:36You cheated on me and tricked me into taking abortion pills.
18:40I'm going to sue you.
18:42Sue us?
18:43Do you have evidence?
18:45Do you stand a chance?
18:46We can hire the best lawyers.
18:47I can even sue you for defamation.
18:49Do you really think a powerless nobody like you can afford this gamble?
18:52By the time you get locked up, your dad will still be in the ICU.
18:56He'll just be left there to die.
18:58So pathetic.
18:59Just sign it.
19:00I'll sign.
19:05You frumpy housewife.
19:06Being able to marry a catch like Julian's was the greatest blessing of your miserable life.
19:11You will get your karma.
19:13Honey!
19:14She's cursing you!
19:15What a jinx!
19:16Karma?
19:17Freya, I'll be waiting.
19:28It's time for everything to start a new.
19:33Today, this Mr. Sterling wants to customize birthday jewelry for his mother.
19:37His budget for Hale & Co is huge.
19:40We have to seal this deal.
19:42You saved Mr. Sterling's number, right?
19:44Saved it.
19:45I'll do my best to win him over.
19:51What's this?
19:52This is the special blend Mr. Sterling ordered for you.
19:56Thank you, but I don't want it.
19:58Please return it to him.
19:59Not me.
20:00Well.
20:14The Mr. Sterling Lisa mentioned?
20:16How could it be him?
20:19Is the news reliable?
20:20Not entirely sure.
20:22But I heard the mysterious big shot who's been hiding in the financial world is supposed
20:27to drop by soon.
20:28Hmm.
20:28Let's wait and see.
20:30Freya!
20:31What?
20:32How did she get so pretty?
20:34Looks like Julian is taking good care of you.
20:36You filled out quite a bit.
20:37Be careful.
20:38Don't end up following in my footsteps.
20:41Freya.
20:42How have you been lately?
20:44Don't bother worrying about me.
20:46My business is none of your concern.
20:48I have things to do.
20:50It's quite hard for a person and a dog to find common ground.
20:58Freya.
20:58Don't tell me you found out Julian was here and came specifically to get his attention,
21:03hoping to rekindle your old flame.
21:07Let me see you soon.
21:19We're in public.
21:21Don't make a scene.
21:22So what if I'm making a scene?
21:24Are you just looking because she got pretty?
21:27Wanting to go back to your ex?
21:29Julian!
21:31A woman like her, with zero appeal?
21:34Nobody would want her.
21:35Is that so?
21:46What I love most is her allure.
21:48As I see it, you're just a cheap product of failed birth control.
21:52You're not worth a single strand of her hair.
21:55My bag!
21:56Hold on to me.
21:58Huh?
21:59I said, wrap your arms around me.
22:08What the hell are you barking for in the middle of the night?
22:14Standing next to my car like a ghost.
22:17Scared the shit out of me.
22:19It's him.
22:20With Freda.
22:21But that back, it looks so familiar.
22:25Put me down.
22:28I not only bailed you out,
22:30I'm also your VIP client.
22:32You'd better behave.
22:34Why are you always haunting me?
22:36Didn't I tell you?
22:37If someone bullies you, text me.
22:40Why didn't you?
22:41I barely even know you.
22:45Then let's get closer.
22:51You hiring our company to design jewelry and specifically asking for me?
22:55That couldn't have been a coincidence.
22:57Guess divorce made you smarter.
23:00You're obviously rich.
23:01You could have any woman you want.
23:03What exactly are you trying to do?
23:04Mind your own business.
23:09Get out.
23:10Where are we?
23:11My place.
23:12Whatever you have to say.
23:14Say it in the car.
23:15Not signing the contract?
23:16You're just going to go back and throw your job away?
23:19Scoundrel.
23:21My name is Gideon Sterling.
23:22You can call me Gideon.
23:24And I'm not a scoundrel.
23:36Mr. Sterling is back.
23:38This is the first time you've brought a lady home.
23:41Amanda, step out for a bit.
23:42I have some important matters to handle.
23:50Freda, I know everything about you and Julian.
23:55So what if you do?
23:57I told you.
23:58If your husband bullies you, call me anytime and I'll come get you.
24:02I didn't dare.
24:04And I won't ever trust anyone again.
24:09Besides, I don't even know you.
24:12This contract has my design proposals.
24:14Does it hurt a lot?
24:16Do you big shops just get a kick out of tearing open other people's scars?
24:40This is harassment.
24:42I'll sign the contract.
24:44I'll have it sent to your company later.
24:46You have to be the project lead.
24:48You're not losing out on this.
24:50Is this how big shots like you always operate?
24:52Depends on the person.
24:54I hope there won't be a next time for behavior like that.
24:58That bastard Julian bullied you so much.
25:01Marry me!
25:03I'll help you get it all back.
25:07Freya.
25:09What are you doing downstairs at my place?
25:12I know I wronged you before.
25:14Can you please give me one more chance?
25:18Give a scumbag like you a chance?
25:21Are you crazy or am I?
25:23Freya.
25:24You look beautiful now.
25:28There's 50 grand in here.
25:29Take it.
25:31Buy some makeup you like.
25:34A man who kicked me out with absolutely nothing six months ago?
25:38Now tosses out tens of thousands like it's pocket change?
25:42Julian, let alone a few grand.
25:43Even if you threw hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions in my face right now,
25:47I'd still just find you disgusting!
25:48Freya, after being with Lydia, she doesn't do a thing.
25:52Every day after work, I still have to figure out how to coax her.
25:55To be honest, I regret it.
25:57What you regret isn't how you treated me back then.
25:59It's losing the convenience of a wife who slaved away for you.
26:03Say whatever you want.
26:05Think about it.
26:06What future does that little company you work for now have?
26:10I...
26:10You don't have to answer me right away.
26:13Think it over.
26:14Name your price.
26:16Or...
26:17We could book a hotel and talk.
26:19Julian, how on earth did I ever marry someone like you?
26:22Get lost.
26:27That bastard Julian bullied you so much.
26:30Marry me!
26:32I'll help you get it all back.
26:46Hey handsome.
26:47Sitting here all alone?
26:48Care for a toast?
26:56What's the matter? Why the long face?
26:58Who pissed off our financial mogra?
27:00Finalize the acquisition contract for Vanguard Group for me within three days.
27:04Wasn't that project put on hold?
27:05Vanguard Group's been bleeding money for months.
27:07And has no real competitive edge. Why bother?
27:12What's the best way to destroy a man?
27:14Kill him with praise, of course.
27:16Put him on the highest pedestal, then knock him straight off it.
27:19That fool will break him.
27:21You're going after Julian.
27:23Do you have a grudge against him?
27:25A grudge.
27:27Alright, let's do it.
27:28I'll take care of it.
27:33What are you looking at?
27:35I gotta say, Gideon.
27:37Your Adam's nerd is sexy as hell.
27:40If I were a woman, I'd be all over you.
27:42Why wasn't I born with one this nice?
27:46Yours is fine.
27:48Looks like a baseball.
27:58Are you serious about what you said tonight?
28:03Ooh, somebody's showing off his feathers.
28:07Hand it over.
28:08Isn't this girl the pregnant woman who delivered flowers last time?
28:11My first love.
28:13Huh?
28:22I'm back.
28:25During the most miserable six months of my life, she was the only beautiful thing I could see.
28:34Wait.
28:34Wait, your first love?
28:35And you didn't even tell your own brother?
28:37You had a thing for her?
28:39That's my wife.
28:41What's it got to do with you?
28:43Not leaving yet?
28:45Wanna play third wheel?
28:48Hey!
28:49Don't play with fire!
28:58Mr. Sterling.
28:59It hasn't even been that long and you're already here, miss me.
29:04Just teasing you.
29:05Why me?
29:07Why not you?
29:09I'm divorced.
29:10I've had a miscarriage.
29:12A woman like me really isn't suitable for you.
29:14Then what kind of woman do you think is suitable for me?
29:16Someone from a good family, with little emotional baggage.
29:19At the very least, she shouldn't have been married before.
29:26When I truly like someone, I don't care what she's like.
29:29I'm all in.
29:30But if I don't, none of it matters to me anyway.
29:33Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet.
29:42Still have feelings for that scumbag ex of yours?
29:44Wanna let him off the hook?
29:46The thought of revenge has crossed my mind countless times.
29:49But you don't understand the helplessness of ordinary people like me.
29:52Seeking justice is virtually impossible.
29:55If you can't afford to lose, then win.
29:57If you can't take it, take it all back.
30:02Is this Mrs. Ashwood?
30:04Something happened to your parents.
30:05Get to the hospital right away.
30:07What?
30:23Dad.
30:24I got divorced.
30:26I...
30:28If life is tough, just come back home.
30:32Dad might not have much money, but as long as I'm breathing, you will always be my precious daughter.
30:43She jumped off the building.
30:45The scene is gruesome.
30:46Don't look.
30:51Your dad was about to be discharged.
30:53But your ex-husband came by tonight.
30:56We don't know what he said, but it clearly upset your dad.
30:59After he left, your dad collapsed and died.
31:01Your mom was devastated and jumped from the 19th floor.
31:04Freya.
31:05Freya.
31:09Here.
31:10Take this to eat.
31:14Remember to eat it.
31:16Okay.
31:18Be careful on your way.
31:20Got it.
31:24I wanted to call the police.
31:26But in this situation, there's no evidence proving your father's death was caused by your ex-husband.
31:33So...
31:43I'm going to find Julian!
31:45I'm gonna kill him!
31:46Calm down first.
31:49I don't have a dad anymore!
31:51My mom took care of my dad her whole life.
31:55Loved him her whole life.
31:56They supported each other through thick and thin, so I believed in love and married Julian!
32:02But now, the man I married destroyed my family!
32:22Mom?
32:23Dad?
32:25Leave her to me now.
32:31I've already arranged the funeral and the burial site.
32:33It's at a private estate cemetery in the northern suburbs.
32:35Very quiet there.
32:37Why, Mr. Sterling?
32:39Why are you going this far for me?
32:41Do you like me?
32:42I like you.
32:43But I can't give you love.
32:48I like you, but I don't love you.
32:53In this life, you're bound to like a lot of people.
32:56But love is too heavy a word.
32:59Our story hasn't quite reached the point of love yet.
33:02I do like you, but I don't love you.
33:05That's just as true.
33:06I didn't expect someone like you to be so brutally honest.
33:10Do you know what kind of person I am?
33:12Do you really know me?
33:14Dropped out of school young.
33:16Did odd jobs.
33:17Sold bootleg CDs.
33:20Founded my first company at 20.
33:23I was riding high back then.
33:26Everyone who used to call me a little bastard started calling me the god of wealth.
33:30And then?
33:32And then I went bankrupt.
33:34Lost everything.
33:36Had to live in a run-down rental.
33:38Eight years of ups and downs.
33:40It never bothered me.
33:44So unless I allow it,
33:46no one can keep me down in the mud.
33:49I'll always crawl back out.
33:51I didn't realize you'd been through so much too.
33:54So remember this, Freya.
33:56You can rise above every one of them.
33:59Thank you, Mr. Sterling.
34:01Call me what?
34:03Now, what should you call me?
34:07I want to ask you, Julian.
34:10How do you plan to handle him?
34:12Before I answer you, I just have one question.
34:14From now on, no matter what happens, can you trust me unconditionally?
34:19I trust you.
34:21You're the only one I can trust now, Mr. Sterling.
34:25Remember.
34:26When the time comes, we're gonna drag him off his high horse and watch him beg at your feet like
34:30a stray dog.
34:38What?
34:40Your parents?
34:42And...
34:44You got married again?
34:46To a guy you barely even know?
34:48Yeah.
34:50Ridiculous, right?
34:52I think it's pretty ridiculous too.
34:53No, but how much do you actually know about this Gideon Sterling?
34:56I've never even heard of the guy.
34:57And you just married him like that?
34:59Now I kinda think...
35:01He might be a good guy.
35:03Freya, whatever decision you make, I support you unconditionally.
35:07We definitely can't let that scumbag Julian off the hook.
35:11I can't believe the acquisition plan that was on hold for so long...
35:16Actually went through.
35:18That big shot I've been talking about took a liking to your little company.
35:22You lucky bastard.
35:25As for the contract, you can sign it right now.
35:29However...
35:29However what?
35:30The big boss also has his eye on another jewelry company.
35:34Says it has a lot of potential.
35:37He wants to appoint you as vice president to boost their performance.
35:40Pull this off...
35:41And you'll be worth ten times more.
35:45So...
35:46Whatever you want boss.
35:48I'll do it.
35:49What are the terms?
35:50It's all laid out right there.
35:52Sign it.
35:52I'm signing it right now.
35:56Hale & Co Jewelry.
35:58Freya's company.
36:00Well, well.
36:02Hasn't she fallen right back into the palm of my hand?
36:04What are you thinking about?
36:05Are you signing or not?
36:07Ah!
36:08I'm signing.
36:09I'm signing right now.
36:12We'll notify you of your exact start date.
36:14I'm off.
36:16Take care sir.
36:17Take care.
36:20Have you eaten?
36:22Yeah.
36:23Worked late today so I ate at the office.
36:26As long as you've eaten.
36:31Get in.
36:34Where are we going?
36:36Ian set up a gathering.
36:38Here's the design sketch I finished.
36:40Take a look.
36:41See if you like it.
36:45If I wanted jewelry, what couldn't I get?
36:48I'm going through all this trouble just to win you over.
36:51Am I handsome?
36:53If I am.
36:55Feel free to stare a little longer.
37:05Everyone stop what you're doing for a second.
37:07Our Hale & Co jewelry was recently acquired by Ha, a mysterious financial mogul.
37:11The newly appointed Vice President Ha will arrive at the office in half an hour.
37:14Hurry up and tidy your desks.
37:16Ha, get ready to welcome the new VP.
37:17He's finally here.
37:21Julian, welcome to your personal hell.
37:25Freya.
37:27Nice name.
37:28Come to my office in a bit.
37:29Okay.
37:33Come in.
37:36That thing I mentioned the other day.
37:38How's your consideration going?
37:39A man who indirectly killed my parents?
37:41Makes demands of me?
37:42How do you think I'd consider them?
37:43I heard about your family.
37:45Freya, don't try to pin that crap on me.
37:47Your dad was a sick old man on his last legs.
37:50His body was failing anyway.
37:51His death was just a matter of time.
37:53What does that have to do with me?
37:55As for your mom jumping off a building out of grief,
37:57that has even less to do with me.
37:59What exactly did you say to my dad that night?
38:01I just went to see him.
38:03Your dad felt sorry for you, so we got into a little argument.
38:06I told him our divorce was entirely because he was a massive burden dragging us down.
38:10It's not like I was wrong.
38:16What are you doing?
38:17Was I not telling the truth?
38:19If your family didn't have that old geezer holding you back,
38:21and if your background were better, would I have divorced you?
38:26Julian, you will absolutely rot in hell for this.
38:33Julian, you will absolutely rot in hell for this.
38:36Is that so?
38:40I'm your direct superior now.
38:42Do I really need to spell out which one of us is going to have a harder time from here
38:46on out?
38:47I wouldn't be so sure.
38:50Sir.
38:53What brings you here?
38:54The big boss knows it's your first day on the job, so he specifically sent me to check on you.
38:58To be valued so highly by the big boss, it is the honor of a lifetime.
39:02But you don't seem to be very familiar with the situation at your new company.
39:05Ian, what do you mean?
39:06Have you looked at Hale & Co's recent performance?
39:08Haven't had the time to check it yet.
39:09The top performer at Hale & Co, recently happens to be Miss Ashwood, is right in front of you.
39:14She just landed a huge deal not long ago.
39:17How is that possible?
39:19Sir, Freya is just a lowly designer at the company.
39:22Are you sure you're not mistaken?
39:23Are you questioning my competence?
39:25The big boss has already taken notice of Miss Ashwood.
39:28We thought you two could get along peacefully and work side by side, but now it seems...
39:36Actually, Freya is someone I hold in very high regard.
39:39Otherwise, I wouldn't have called her into my office privately, right?
39:42Mrs. Ashwood, I have some private matters I'd like to discuss with Julian.
39:53Sir, do you have any special instructions?
39:55I'm sure you've heard.
39:56The big boss returned to the country less than a year ago and is severely lacking capable right-hand men.
40:01If you can get into his good graces, isn't it only a matter of time before you're soaring to the
40:06top?
40:06Actually, let me give you the inside track.
40:08Big boss wants to use this opportunity to test you, to see whether you'll suppress the company's top performer or
40:13put talent to good use.
40:14I get what you mean.
40:15Thank you. Thank you so much for the heads up.
40:17First time I met you, I knew you were a sharp one.
40:19Well, isn't it my duty to serve the big boss?
40:22Do a good job.
40:24Stay put.
40:26Wipe it off.
40:27You're sweating buckets.
40:32Cutie.
40:38Mrs. Ashwood, Gideon asked me to pass you a message.
40:41He'll be waiting for you at the estate tonight.
40:44Got it.
40:44Get going.
40:56Did you sleep well?
40:58I've already arranged for people to keep an eye on things at Hale & Co.
41:02To show off his big picture mindset, Julian will definitely go out of his way to elevate you at the
41:07company.
41:08He personally destroyed any chance you had at a life.
41:12This is the least he owes you.
41:13And then, what do you plan to do?
41:26You'll know when the time comes.
41:28Right now, my main quest is spoiling my wife.
41:34Mr. Sterling, you're too good to me.
41:39So good that it feels a bit surreal.
41:44It's just that I can't stand seeing you cry.
41:48Anyone who makes you cry, I'll make them pay with their life.
41:53It's getting late.
41:54You should turn in early too.
42:00Sir, the company's numbers have gone up quite a bit over the past two months.
42:04I'm sure you've seen how much I've invested in Freya.
42:09So, when might I have the honor of meeting the big boss in person?
42:13Rest assured, it'll be very soon. Just sit tight and wait for the good days to roll in.
42:18Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!
42:20By the way, sir, I have a personal matter here.
42:25Could I trouble you to help me investigate it?
42:27Alright. What is it? Speak.
42:31It's about this big shot behind the scenes you mentioned.
42:34Do you happen to know who he really is?
42:37I've been asking around everywhere, but I can't find a single clue.
42:41Oh, I know him. And you'll be seeing him very soon.
42:45Then I can rest easy.
42:52It's all here.
42:55That punk Julian is corrupt as hell.
42:58He's nothing more than a lowly manager, yet his hands reach so far.
43:04Julian's already taken care of Vanguard Group's finances.
43:07Before the company was acquired, he had already selfened off the funds.
43:11Get it back.
43:14And track down that illegal clinic doctor who induced Freya's abortion as soon as possible.
43:19You can count on me.
43:22That kid Julian is still dreaming his pipe dream.
43:26Put everything away.
43:32The missy still isn't awake. You've been working really hard lately.
43:41Mr. Sterling, why did you have me bring so many design sketches?
43:46You'll find out in a bit.
43:56You really should quit these.
43:59Starting to boss me around now?
44:04It's bad for your health.
44:08Caring about me?
44:11I guess so.
44:14Feel free to show me this kind of care more often.
44:21Mr. Kevin.
44:22Is this the famous designer? Mr. Kevin?
44:24Give me half the sketches.
44:34The Jewelry Summit is next week. Please take a look at these works.
44:40These designs are quite distinctive.
44:44Very impressive indeed.
44:48Mr. Sterling, who drew these?
44:52Hello, Mr. Kevin.
44:53I drew these designs.
44:55I'd love to hear your feedback.
44:57Oh, these are really well designed.
45:02The details, beautifully executed.
45:14Anyone could deliver the reports. Your excuse is way too lame.
45:20Tonight, the internationally renowned design master, Mr. Kevin, will be attending the Jewelry Summit.
45:26To expand our company's influence in the industry, Hale & Co. will be participating as well.
45:32And?
45:33You should know that Mr. Kevin is notoriously difficult to please.
45:38Every time he returns to the country, aren't domestic designers torn to shreds by him?
45:44So, you want me to go with you as the designer representative?
45:48Ah, my ex-wife really has gotten smarter.
45:51You want to use this opportunity to suppress me?
45:55Would I just sit by and watch you steal the spotlight forever?
45:59I have to take you down a peg.
46:01But it's not convenient for me to do it personally, lest the big boss thinks I'm petty.
46:05So, Mr. Kevin is my best blade.
46:08Don't be too confident.
46:10Who turns out to be whose blade is yet to be seen.
46:17Dress formally. Don't embarrass Hale & Co.
46:28Gideon, are you sure if I give the invitation to Julian, he'll bring Freya here?
46:32If Julian doesn't take Freya down a notch, how can he command respect from his people?
46:37That kid is rotten to the core.
46:42But aren't you afraid your wife will embarrass herself in public?
46:45For one, I believe in her professional capability.
46:49Two, I don't fight battles I'm not certain I can win.
46:53Then I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.
46:57I quit.
47:01Whoa! Quitting smoking? That takes willpower.
47:05My wife doesn't like it.
47:08Look at that simp face.
47:11Isn't she gorgeous?
47:12If I agree she's gorgeous, does that mean I get to stare a bit longer and feast my eyes?
47:18Get the hell out of here.
47:24Mr. Vance, I just watched your interview.
47:27High spirits, bright future.
47:30Two consecutive companies related to Mr. Vance have been acquired by that mysterious tycoon.
47:38It's clear how highly valued you are.
47:41In the future, please do put in a good word for us in front of the big boss.
47:47Freya, I'm about to show you exactly who the true king of Hale & Co. is.
47:53Mr. Kevin is here!
48:01Mr. Kevin! Mr. Kevin!
48:03Hurry! Hurry!
48:06You go in too!
48:07Mr. Kevin! Mr. Kevin! Mr. Kevin!
48:10Do you really think shoving schedules in his face like this is going to make Mr. Kevin look at them?
48:15Mr. Kevin! Look at mine!
48:16Mr. Kevin!
48:17Mr. Kevin!
48:17I am your superior.
48:19If you ask me, you don't have what it takes to lead anyone.
48:25Security!
48:26Get them out of here!
48:27What a mob!
48:31If I had listened to you just now, both of us would have been thrown out of the summit by
48:36now.
48:38Freya, I really despise how arrogant you've become.
48:42The feeling is mutual.
48:47Mr. Kevin!
48:48Ladies and gentlemen, besides the regular industry exchanges today, I would like to grandly recommend a jewelry design company to
48:55everyone.
48:56Which company is lucky enough to get a personal recommendation from Mr. Kevin?
49:00If I had to guess, it's probably between Lai or Pengbo.
49:04They are the top tier jewelry firms.
49:06Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient.
49:09I have brought the design sketches with me.
49:14Before I announce the name of the company and the designer, I'd like everyone to take a look at this
49:19designer's masterpiece.
49:24Shine your brightest, my wife.
49:27You've always been the light.
49:32Absolutely brilliant.
49:34Every single sketch is a masterpiece with a soul.
49:39No wonder Mr. Kevin chose to publicly recommend someone in this country for the very first time.
49:44Wow, these are nice.
49:46Yeah, they're so unique.
49:52Freya, look at that. Just look. This is high-end design.
50:00Don't think just because you snagged a director role at Hal & Co. that the world revolves around you.
50:05Mr. Vance is absolutely right. They are indeed drawn beautifully.
50:11These sketches don't tell me Freya drew them?
50:20Here's the design sketch I finished. Take a look. See if you like it.
50:30Mr. Kevin, I've sent the drawings to you.
50:33I don't expect special treatment. I just want you to take a serious look at Freya's work.
50:37If she has talent, I want her to be recognized in the design world.
50:47Mr. Kevin, which company's designer drew these sketches?
50:52Did you see that? Mr. Kevin is acknowledging me.
50:55He must know that the big boss behind the scenes is promoting me.
50:59It is none other than Hale & Co. Jewelry's very own designer, Freya Ashwood.
51:07Thank you!
51:13Good.
51:15Congratulations! Congratulations!
51:17Congratulations!
