WEBVTT

01:08.200 --> 01:09.479
You know that, right?

01:10.280 --> 01:12.640
We may have just shaken hands
in front of the press,

01:12.720 --> 01:15.280
but we're still business rivals.

01:17.600 --> 01:22.200
Of course. I may be new in the game,
but I get how this works.

01:22.280 --> 01:25.839
Even if we're rivals,
that doesn't necessarily mean

01:26.960 --> 01:28.080
we have to be enemies.

01:30.000 --> 01:32.399
I'm not so sure about that.

01:32.479 --> 01:34.320
It kind of depends…

01:34.399 --> 01:37.679
on what happens next, don't you think?

02:11.160 --> 02:13.280
ONE HOUR EARLIER

02:14.799 --> 02:18.600
Hello, everyone.
Right now, we're here at Greater Tower.

02:18.680 --> 02:20.239
In just one hour,

02:20.320 --> 02:24.640
a major national
project auction will take place.

02:24.720 --> 02:26.519
Hosted by The Greater Duty Free.

02:26.600 --> 02:29.239
The energy inside is buzzing already.

02:29.320 --> 02:30.920
Let's take you inside for a closer look.

02:31.000 --> 02:32.680
I just got here, Dad.

02:33.359 --> 02:35.359
I'll be there in about 20 minutes.

02:35.959 --> 02:37.840
Have you talked to any reporters yet?

02:43.440 --> 02:45.959
Even after rehearsing 100 interviews,

02:46.040 --> 02:47.840
I'm still nervous.

02:47.920 --> 02:49.440
Thinking of grabbing a drink…

02:49.519 --> 02:50.600
might help me relax a bit.

02:50.679 --> 02:52.280
That's a good idea, sweetie.

02:52.359 --> 02:54.040
Stress won't help you one bit.

02:54.120 --> 02:56.160
This is your first real event.

02:56.239 --> 02:59.359
Your debut as Superior's new leader.

02:59.440 --> 03:01.519
Iced matcha latte, no syrup, please.

03:01.600 --> 03:02.440
One moment, please.

03:03.239 --> 03:06.040
It's not just
the press you'll be dealing with.

03:06.120 --> 03:10.079
There are plenty of
Thai business rivals waiting for us.

03:10.160 --> 03:13.880
When you face them, stay calm.

03:13.959 --> 03:14.920
Stay sharp.

03:15.000 --> 03:17.679
Think carefully before every move.

03:25.079 --> 03:27.000
Otherwise, they'll say

03:27.079 --> 03:29.920
that you were never cut out
for this from the start.

03:30.000 --> 03:33.120
Got it, Dad. I won't slip up.

03:33.200 --> 03:35.720
I'll prove to everyone

03:35.799 --> 03:39.280
that I'm not just some rookie
they can take down easily.

03:40.040 --> 03:41.600
Especially not Orienna.

03:42.480 --> 03:43.920
Orienna?

03:44.480 --> 03:45.480
Why?

03:46.119 --> 03:47.160
You've got plenty of rivals.

03:47.239 --> 03:49.000
What's so special about this one?

03:49.079 --> 03:50.160
Well…

03:51.519 --> 03:53.200
Because the face of Orienna

03:53.280 --> 03:55.280
is also a woman like me.

03:55.959 --> 03:57.519
Same age too.

03:58.079 --> 04:00.200
And she's just as good-looking.

04:01.320 --> 04:03.799
But she's more experienced.

04:03.880 --> 04:05.799
She gets way more
media coverage than I do.

04:05.880 --> 04:07.760
She's a public figure.

04:07.839 --> 04:08.959
She probably thinks

04:09.040 --> 04:11.280
what she has gives her an edge over me.

04:12.839 --> 04:14.600
But I'll make her see

04:14.679 --> 04:17.000
the more we're underestimated,

04:18.000 --> 04:20.079
the stronger our urge to win becomes.

05:00.919 --> 05:02.880
I'll probably arrive
just before it starts.

05:02.960 --> 05:04.919
We won't have much prep time.

05:05.000 --> 05:07.240
Just remember

05:07.320 --> 05:09.000
you are the face of Orienna.

05:15.919 --> 05:17.479
Where are you going, Ms. Ai?

05:17.560 --> 05:19.400
-Smoke break?
-Not a chance.

05:19.479 --> 05:22.599
If anyone sees you, your image will tank.

05:22.680 --> 05:23.599
Please, I'm begging you.

05:24.599 --> 05:27.960
I get it. People warned me before you did.

05:29.919 --> 05:31.080
Was it the Chairman?

05:33.760 --> 05:34.599
Help me out here.

05:34.680 --> 05:36.800
What can I do to kill this boredom?

05:37.960 --> 05:40.159
There's still
almost an hour until showtime.

05:44.479 --> 05:46.840
Walk. Just wander around the building.

05:46.919 --> 05:50.159
It'll kill time, burn calories,
and you can scope the place out.

05:50.240 --> 05:53.719
Once this bidding war's done,
we'll be working here often anyway.

05:53.800 --> 05:55.280
Good to get the lay of the land first.

05:56.200 --> 05:59.080
Every war starts
with studying the battlefield.

05:59.159 --> 06:00.919
Exactly. Let's go.

06:02.880 --> 06:03.840
Wait.

06:03.919 --> 06:04.960
Let me grab a matcha real quick.

06:08.039 --> 06:09.240
Hello.

06:09.320 --> 06:11.960
-One sweet iced matcha, please.
-Sure, just a moment.

06:22.440 --> 06:23.799
Here's your matcha.

06:43.039 --> 06:45.599
I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

06:47.159 --> 06:48.520
I'm fine.

06:48.599 --> 06:49.840
Sorry again.

07:03.200 --> 07:04.640
All set. Let's head out.

07:05.520 --> 07:06.479
Ms. Ai.

07:06.560 --> 07:09.760
Did you see that woman sitting over there?

07:09.840 --> 07:10.880
Yeah.

07:10.960 --> 07:14.039
Isn't that Ms. Maevika,
heir to the Superior Group?

07:15.280 --> 07:17.760
Knew it.

07:17.840 --> 07:21.320
But I hear she just came back from abroad.

07:21.400 --> 07:23.880
Why is she here at this event?

07:27.599 --> 07:31.680
Could Superior be sending her
to represent them?

07:31.760 --> 07:32.919
So what?

07:33.000 --> 07:36.000
If that's the case,
you should stay far away from her.

07:36.080 --> 07:38.280
Don't get close. Don't get friendly.

07:39.120 --> 07:42.159
Why? You think she's
here to steal our secrets?

07:42.239 --> 07:45.120
I'm not dumb enough to let that happen.

07:45.840 --> 07:47.560
I know you're smart, Ms. Ai.

07:47.640 --> 07:49.120
I just want you to be careful.

07:49.200 --> 07:52.000
Right now,
whoever you talk to or hang out with,

07:52.080 --> 07:53.440
you've got to be extra cautious.

07:53.520 --> 07:55.960
This competition's brutal.

07:56.039 --> 07:57.400
The stakes are massive.

07:57.479 --> 07:59.400
Everyone's ready to fight to the death.

08:00.520 --> 08:02.320
The old players aren't much of a threat.

08:02.400 --> 08:05.000
We've already got
the data on every one of them.

08:05.080 --> 08:06.120
But…

08:07.239 --> 08:09.280
a newcomer like Ms. Maevika?

08:09.359 --> 08:12.400
Once she hits the real game,
we don't know her playbook.

08:12.479 --> 08:14.239
Better to treat her as a wildcard.

08:20.200 --> 08:21.120
She doesn't seem scary to me.

08:22.000 --> 08:23.120
She's kind of cute, actually.

08:24.239 --> 08:27.120
Ms. Ai, you can't be serious.

08:45.800 --> 08:47.720
It's my great pleasure

08:47.800 --> 08:51.720
to welcome you all
to the official press conference

08:51.800 --> 08:53.560
for The Greater Duty Free bidding event.

08:54.160 --> 08:56.720
We aim to develop
this into a brand new landmark

08:56.800 --> 08:58.959
for duty-free shopping

08:59.480 --> 09:01.720
that ranks
among the biggest in the region.

09:02.400 --> 09:04.959
The Greater isn't just a retail complex.

09:05.040 --> 09:09.000
It's also a key move for driving
the national economy forward.

09:09.680 --> 09:10.959
And we firmly believe

09:11.040 --> 09:15.040
this venue will attract tourists
from all over the world.

09:15.120 --> 09:18.480
Boosting spending and opening
endless business opportunities

09:18.560 --> 09:20.480
for both public and private sectors.

09:20.560 --> 09:23.000
Today, we open the floor to investors…

09:28.600 --> 09:30.959
…and capable business operators

09:31.040 --> 09:33.560
to become part of our ambitious project.

09:46.400 --> 09:49.480
Lastly, I'd like to thank
all members of the press

09:49.560 --> 09:53.600
for your interest in
and support for this project.

09:53.680 --> 09:55.439
Our bidding process
involves multiple phases.

09:55.520 --> 09:58.520
I hope everything goes smoothly.

09:58.600 --> 10:01.760
Let's see who comes out on top.

10:19.640 --> 10:22.640
Is there a particular reason, Mr. Attawit,

10:22.720 --> 10:25.480
why you chose Ms. Aiwarin
to lead this project?

10:27.120 --> 10:28.640
Because I trust her.

10:29.560 --> 10:31.520
That's all there is to it.

10:31.600 --> 10:34.000
Ms. Aiwarin is the sole heir to Orienna.

10:34.079 --> 10:36.640
So you must have
a lot of faith in her, Mr. Attawit?

10:38.079 --> 10:38.959
I do.

10:39.480 --> 10:41.160
She may be young,

10:42.240 --> 10:45.199
but she thinks and makes decisions
like someone much older.

10:45.839 --> 10:47.319
Not like most her age.

10:47.400 --> 10:49.040
I think it's clear to everyone

10:49.120 --> 10:52.880
that many aspects of our hotel operations
are actually her work.

10:52.959 --> 10:56.520
And all of it has been very well received.

10:56.600 --> 10:59.120
But Orienna
has always been a hotel business.

10:59.199 --> 11:01.400
Entering the duty-free concession space,

11:01.480 --> 11:03.319
isn't that unfamiliar territory?

11:03.400 --> 11:05.560
Maybe a step behind others?

11:05.640 --> 11:08.400
Like Superior, for example.
They're in retail.

11:08.480 --> 11:10.839
What do you think
gives you the edge to win?

11:17.360 --> 11:18.880
Maybe ambition.

11:18.959 --> 11:21.400
I once heard someone say,

11:21.480 --> 11:23.959
the more we know we're underestimated,

11:24.040 --> 11:25.880
the stronger our urge to win becomes.

11:26.480 --> 11:28.760
Let's move over to
Mr. Nuttakorn for a quick interview.

11:28.839 --> 11:30.880
-Please, go ahead.
-Hello, everyone.

11:31.400 --> 11:33.719
We see you
brought your daughter along today.

11:33.800 --> 11:36.959
Will your daughter
be involved in the project?

11:37.040 --> 11:39.280
Well, with that setup,

11:39.360 --> 11:40.800
do I even need to answer?

11:40.880 --> 11:42.240
Yes, she will.

11:42.319 --> 11:44.839
Maevika is my only daughter.

11:44.920 --> 11:47.280
She'll be leading Superior
in this bidding round.

11:47.959 --> 11:49.719
We hear that Ms. Maevika

11:49.800 --> 11:51.439
just got her master's abroad.

11:51.520 --> 11:53.360
No work experience yet, right?

11:53.439 --> 11:56.800
Aren't you worried, putting her
in charge of something this big?

11:56.880 --> 11:58.079
Exactly.

11:58.160 --> 11:59.959
Well, I'd be lying if I said no.

12:00.560 --> 12:02.360
But I trust my daughter.

12:02.439 --> 12:05.199
Just like any father would, I guess.

12:05.280 --> 12:07.520
If there are more questions,

12:07.600 --> 12:09.319
maybe ask her directly?

12:09.400 --> 12:11.400
-Sounds good.
-Sure thing.

12:11.480 --> 12:13.000
Hello, Mr. Nuttakorn.

12:24.520 --> 12:28.280
I hear you let your daughter
take charge of this project too?

12:28.360 --> 12:30.240
Interesting move.

12:30.319 --> 12:33.360
But this is still
a national-level project.

12:34.640 --> 12:36.520
It's not
a training ground for fresh grads.

12:37.959 --> 12:39.880
Honestly, Mr. Nuttakorn,

12:39.959 --> 12:42.000
it'd be better if you were
front and center again.

12:42.079 --> 12:44.480
Let her shadow you, learn the ropes.

12:44.560 --> 12:47.880
Then once she's more seasoned,
she can take the reins.

12:47.959 --> 12:49.480
Otherwise,

12:49.560 --> 12:54.160
Superior might end up trailing
far behind the competition.

12:56.599 --> 12:59.280
Thank you, Mr. Attawit, for your concern.

13:00.680 --> 13:02.360
But I don't see it that way.

13:03.000 --> 13:07.040
Having experience doesn't always mean
you have the upper hand.

13:08.319 --> 13:11.120
Even someone
who's never failed in their life

13:11.959 --> 13:13.959
is still capable of falling flat.

13:15.439 --> 13:18.360
If I may offer you some advice in return,

13:18.439 --> 13:22.280
maybe start practicing
how to comfort your daughter

13:22.360 --> 13:23.959
when the day comes that she falls short.

13:24.640 --> 13:26.439
From the look of it,

13:26.520 --> 13:28.240
your daughter's very self-assured.

13:28.319 --> 13:32.240
So in case
things don't turn out as she hopes,

13:33.319 --> 13:35.199
she'll be prepared
to handle disappointment.

13:45.920 --> 13:47.439
Dad.

13:49.520 --> 13:50.719
Hello.

13:52.599 --> 13:53.760
Hi.

13:54.439 --> 13:55.599
I'm Maevika.

13:55.680 --> 13:57.240
It's a pleasure to be here.

13:57.319 --> 14:00.319
Now, we'd like to invite
both Ms. Maevika and Ms. Aiwarin

14:00.400 --> 14:03.240
to take a photo together
as representatives of both companies.

14:03.920 --> 14:04.839
Please, step forward.

14:25.120 --> 14:27.280
You two seem to be
from the same generation.

14:27.360 --> 14:29.719
Did you happen to know each other before?

14:37.920 --> 14:39.839
Yes, we've met before.

14:46.319 --> 14:48.479
For the charity event next month,

14:48.560 --> 14:51.680
anyone with ideas,
feel free to share them.

14:56.199 --> 14:57.719
-Me, please.
-Go ahead.

14:57.800 --> 15:00.199
CHARITY 2012 EVENT PLANNING MEETING

15:02.719 --> 15:05.479
I'm Maevika from St. Aldrich School.

15:05.560 --> 15:09.319
I'd like to propose
a gala dinner for the event.

15:09.400 --> 15:11.400
Since this involves
two prestigious schools,

15:11.479 --> 15:13.360
we shouldn't go small.

15:13.439 --> 15:15.319
As for the venue,

15:15.400 --> 15:19.479
I've talked to my dad, and we can use
the hall in his department store.

15:19.560 --> 15:20.560
He's fine with hosting it.

15:20.640 --> 15:24.240
We also have an event organizer
ready to handle everything.

15:24.319 --> 15:28.680
All we really need to do is
spread the word and get people to attend.

15:28.760 --> 15:30.400
And help raise funds, of course.

15:30.479 --> 15:32.199
If you still can't picture it,

15:32.280 --> 15:34.760
I've also prepared
a presentation to pitch my idea.

15:39.319 --> 15:40.439
I disagree.

15:40.520 --> 15:41.800
Go ahead.

15:50.319 --> 15:53.199
A charity event is meant for giving back.

15:53.280 --> 15:55.359
Making it over-the-top and flashy

15:55.439 --> 15:57.959
feels more like showing off than giving.

16:02.640 --> 16:04.560
I propose we keep it simple.

16:04.640 --> 16:07.680
Use our school space
to set up a creative market.

16:07.760 --> 16:10.240
Let students from both schools take part,

16:10.319 --> 16:12.240
make DIY goods to sell,

16:12.319 --> 16:14.319
and donate the proceeds.

16:14.400 --> 16:18.479
We could also have busking,
performance art,

16:18.560 --> 16:23.479
anything that highlights creativity
and hands-on contribution.

16:23.560 --> 16:27.040
Not just relying
on one person's family fortune.

16:31.800 --> 16:32.839
Let's not forget

16:32.920 --> 16:38.160
society already sees us
as rich kids from elite schools.

16:38.240 --> 16:39.520
Privileged, well-connected.

16:39.599 --> 16:41.359
Don't we want to change that image?

16:41.439 --> 16:44.319
Not just live off luxury and connections?

16:44.400 --> 16:47.439
And show we can do basic,
functional things too?

16:48.959 --> 16:52.760
You really think that's gonna
change how people see us?

16:52.839 --> 16:54.280
Bit too idealistic, isn't it?

16:55.920 --> 16:58.479
Maybe not right away.
But it has to start somewhere.

17:03.880 --> 17:05.639
Anyone else want to pitch an idea?

17:05.720 --> 17:08.879
If not, we'll proceed to vote.

17:08.960 --> 17:10.960
Starting with Maevika.

17:12.240 --> 17:14.119
What's your name again?

17:14.879 --> 17:16.800
-Aiwarin.
-Aiwarin.

17:18.119 --> 17:21.440
All in favor of Maevika's idea,
raise your hand.

17:31.320 --> 17:34.399
Now, those in favor of Aiwarin, hands up.

17:37.280 --> 17:39.919
Alright,
we'll be going with Aiwarin's idea.

17:44.639 --> 17:47.000
Aiwarin, well done.

17:48.000 --> 17:52.040
In all my years of teaching,
I've never seen a student like yours.

17:52.120 --> 17:53.240
Thank you.

17:53.320 --> 17:54.639
Let's give her a round of applause.

18:02.760 --> 18:04.280
Yes, we've met before.

18:05.720 --> 18:07.600
Hard to believe, right?

18:09.879 --> 18:11.120
But we weren't close or anything.

18:11.200 --> 18:12.919
Just vaguely familiar.

18:13.000 --> 18:14.879
Back in high school,

18:14.960 --> 18:17.600
our schools once co-hosted
a charity event. That's all.

18:20.120 --> 18:21.440
Well then,

18:22.040 --> 18:26.240
I guess it's time
to properly introduce myself, officially.

18:28.520 --> 18:29.760
Nice to meet you,

18:30.639 --> 18:31.720
Ms. Aiwarin.

18:41.040 --> 18:42.800
Nice to meet you.

18:43.480 --> 18:44.800
Ms. Maevika.

18:55.760 --> 18:58.760
Find out everything you can about Maevika.

18:59.360 --> 19:00.600
As much as possible.

19:00.679 --> 19:01.960
And Aiwarin?

19:03.879 --> 19:04.720
No need.

19:04.800 --> 19:07.080
I already know her well enough.

19:21.679 --> 19:23.919
You did well today, sweetie.

19:25.879 --> 19:27.320
But you caught me off guard a little.

19:28.360 --> 19:29.240
About what?

19:30.480 --> 19:32.639
When you said you knew Aiwarin,

19:33.240 --> 19:36.280
I thought you only knew her
from the media.

19:38.200 --> 19:41.360
Yeah, just like I said.

19:41.879 --> 19:43.600
We only sort of knew each other.

19:43.679 --> 19:45.120
That's good.

19:45.800 --> 19:47.480
She's our rival.

19:47.560 --> 19:49.879
If you want to learn more about her,

19:50.399 --> 19:52.200
just don't let her see it coming.

19:55.360 --> 19:58.200
You sure you don't want
to grab dinner with me?

19:58.840 --> 20:01.040
I'm sure. I'm not hungry yet.

20:01.120 --> 20:03.000
I want to stay
and survey the place a bit more.

20:03.679 --> 20:04.840
Alright then.

20:05.560 --> 20:07.840
-See you at home, sweetheart.
-Okay.

20:07.919 --> 20:09.320
G, take care of her.

20:10.560 --> 20:11.560
Dad.

20:13.000 --> 20:13.879
Earlier,

20:14.720 --> 20:16.480
what Mr. Attawit said about me…

20:19.280 --> 20:20.440
It's normal.

20:20.520 --> 20:22.240
You may not have faced it before,

20:22.919 --> 20:24.240
but now's the time you should.

20:24.320 --> 20:28.280
So you'll understand
why losing is not an option for us.

20:43.120 --> 20:44.560
About you and Maevika…

20:44.639 --> 20:47.120
There's nothing to worry about, Dad.

20:47.200 --> 20:49.399
We only crossed paths
briefly back in school.

20:49.480 --> 20:51.560
In that case, stay here a while longer.

20:51.639 --> 20:54.840
Survey the space.
Get a feel for how things run here.

20:56.040 --> 20:56.960
Sure.

20:57.639 --> 20:59.919
I've got high hopes for this project.

21:00.000 --> 21:02.440
And when someone like me
hopes for something,

21:02.520 --> 21:03.960
I don't leave room for failure.

21:15.560 --> 21:16.520
Ms. Ai?

21:16.600 --> 21:19.200
Why didn't you tell your father just now

21:19.280 --> 21:22.720
that we already walked every corner
of this place before the event?

21:22.800 --> 21:24.159
-Every single part.
-Let it go.

21:24.240 --> 21:25.600
Saying it wouldn't change anything.

21:26.879 --> 21:29.480
So we're really
going out for another round?

21:30.240 --> 21:32.240
Nope. You go find a place to wait.

21:32.320 --> 21:34.000
I'm gonna go unload real quick.

21:34.600 --> 21:36.040
Been holding it in
since the event started.

21:57.080 --> 21:58.120
Ms. Maevika.

21:58.919 --> 22:02.320
Seems like we've been running
into each other a lot today.

22:07.399 --> 22:08.679
A lot? Really?

22:09.639 --> 22:12.040
Well, here,

22:12.120 --> 22:13.600
at the event,

22:13.679 --> 22:15.040
and the coffee shop.

22:16.960 --> 22:18.000
Sorry, what?

22:20.120 --> 22:22.320
Thanks for saying
I'm good-looking, by the way.

22:25.320 --> 22:26.320
Likewise.

22:29.200 --> 22:30.560
Then tell me.

22:31.280 --> 22:32.800
When I told the press

22:33.480 --> 22:35.679
that we've known each other since school,

22:36.840 --> 22:38.639
why didn't you say anything?

22:39.919 --> 22:41.960
You really don't remember me?

22:43.840 --> 22:44.800
Well…

22:45.639 --> 22:49.760
weren't you the one who said
we only knew each other vaguely?

22:50.919 --> 22:52.560
So why would you expect me

22:53.240 --> 22:55.040
to remember you?

22:56.919 --> 22:58.480
Then that's up to you.

22:59.800 --> 23:00.840
Wait.

23:04.639 --> 23:05.879
You do know, right?

23:06.600 --> 23:08.679
We may have just shaken hands
in front of the press,

23:09.480 --> 23:11.760
but we're still business rivals.

23:14.280 --> 23:15.159
Of course.

23:15.679 --> 23:17.520
I may be new to the game,

23:18.560 --> 23:20.480
but I get how this works.

23:21.520 --> 23:24.000
Even if we're rivals,

23:24.080 --> 23:28.159
that doesn't necessarily mean
we have to be enemies.

23:30.040 --> 23:32.200
I wouldn't be too sure about that.

23:32.280 --> 23:35.720
It depends on what happens

23:35.800 --> 23:37.639
from here on out.

24:44.919 --> 24:46.520
Your lipstick's a bit much.

24:47.280 --> 24:48.639
It doesn't really suit you.

24:49.399 --> 24:51.080
So I figured I'd share a bit of mine.

24:57.439 --> 24:58.600
Ms. Mae…

25:01.879 --> 25:03.399
G, are you heading to the restroom?

25:04.159 --> 25:05.399
No.

25:05.480 --> 25:07.280
I just came in to check.
You were gone for a while.

25:07.360 --> 25:08.560
I thought something happened.

25:09.480 --> 25:10.639
I'm fine.

25:11.240 --> 25:14.080
Just got caught up reapplying lipstick.
Took a bit longer.

25:38.120 --> 25:39.199
Ms. Mae.

25:43.040 --> 25:45.240
You sure you're really okay?

25:46.560 --> 25:48.199
You think I'm lying?

25:49.000 --> 25:50.399
Probably not.

25:52.159 --> 25:54.040
But whatever technique
you used on that lipstick,

25:54.639 --> 25:56.199
it made quite the mess.

26:00.760 --> 26:02.040
And now it's even worse.

26:06.320 --> 26:07.600
Excuse me.

26:18.080 --> 26:21.639
Not bad, assistant. Not bad at all.

26:36.879 --> 26:38.120
Bag. Now.

26:38.919 --> 26:39.960
Something definitely happened.

26:40.960 --> 26:42.360
Nothing did.

26:42.439 --> 26:44.919
That pitch is too high. Spill it.

26:45.000 --> 26:47.679
-Nope.
-Ugh, come on, what happened?

27:07.120 --> 27:08.639
When I told the press

27:08.720 --> 27:11.199
that we've known each other since school,

27:12.360 --> 27:14.080
why didn't you say anything?

27:15.560 --> 27:17.360
You really don't remember me?

27:56.520 --> 27:57.760
All of this is her idea.

27:57.840 --> 28:00.040
-Did she come up with it all herself?
-Yes, she did.

28:00.120 --> 28:01.560
Thank you.

28:01.639 --> 28:03.040
-That's impressive.
-Totally.

28:03.120 --> 28:04.320
Thank you.

28:05.320 --> 28:06.720
Where does your inspiration come from?

28:11.679 --> 28:12.639
You nailed it.

29:07.919 --> 29:09.040
Just wait.

29:09.560 --> 29:11.240
If I get the chance, I'll make you pay.

29:33.000 --> 29:34.399
Then hurry up and take your shot.

29:35.199 --> 29:36.320
I'll be waiting.

30:06.800 --> 30:09.000
-Morning.
-Waiting to head in with Mae?

30:09.639 --> 30:10.520
Come sit.

30:10.600 --> 30:12.280
Want some tea or coffee?

30:13.080 --> 30:16.120
No need, thank you.
I already had some at home.

30:17.120 --> 30:19.159
So, what were you up to just now?

30:19.240 --> 30:22.399
I was reviewing
successful duty-free cases overseas.

30:22.480 --> 30:25.320
Ms. Mae said
before the bid packet sale opens,

30:25.399 --> 30:28.439
she wants to understand how
other countries approach their strategies.

30:28.520 --> 30:30.639
In case she finds something useful.

30:30.720 --> 30:32.639
Wow.

30:32.720 --> 30:34.600
Your boss is seriously committed.

30:35.800 --> 30:37.280
Do your best to support her, okay?

30:37.360 --> 30:39.720
If anything comes up, just tell me.

30:39.800 --> 30:41.679
I'll find a subtle way to help out.

30:42.199 --> 30:44.679
Without making her feel
like I'm interfering.

30:45.480 --> 30:46.320
Got it.

30:50.199 --> 30:51.040
Dad.

30:52.000 --> 30:54.800
I won't be joining breakfast this morning.

30:56.679 --> 30:58.760
G, go ahead to the office first.

30:58.840 --> 31:01.919
I've got something to settle.
I'll join you later.

31:03.080 --> 31:04.280
What is it, sweetie?

31:05.919 --> 31:07.120
It's about a guy.

31:08.959 --> 31:09.919
Mr. Gavin, right?

31:11.840 --> 31:12.679
Yeah.

31:13.480 --> 31:14.720
I'm heading out, Dad.

31:14.800 --> 31:15.919
Alright.

31:17.000 --> 31:18.600
-See you, Dad.
-Take care.

31:23.280 --> 31:24.199
Who's Gavin?

31:24.919 --> 31:26.520
He's the last guy Ms. Mae dated.

31:26.600 --> 31:28.720
Son of the Luxspeed Import owner.

31:29.760 --> 31:30.760
Since when?

31:30.840 --> 31:33.040
Since Ms. Mae studied in London.

31:33.120 --> 31:35.399
They talked for a few months
before she pulled away.

31:35.480 --> 31:37.240
But he kept chasing her.

31:37.320 --> 31:40.199
He even followed her back to Thailand.

31:45.080 --> 31:47.199
Why didn't Mae take you with her, G?

31:48.360 --> 31:50.159
Ms. Mae can handle it herself.

31:50.240 --> 31:52.959
Mr. Gavin's not
the first guy she's turned down.

31:53.040 --> 31:54.840
She can handle it?

31:55.360 --> 31:56.639
But how exactly?

31:58.879 --> 32:00.719
-Mae, I'm sorry.
-What?

32:00.800 --> 32:01.840
-I really am.
-You're annoying.

32:01.919 --> 32:03.320
Mae! Please forgive me.

32:08.320 --> 32:09.280
Mae.

32:36.439 --> 32:37.280
Alright.

32:37.879 --> 32:39.879
You don't have to give me an answer now.

32:39.959 --> 32:42.159
But you're Mae's assistant, G.

32:42.240 --> 32:44.320
You need to keep an eye on her.

32:44.399 --> 32:46.639
Is the way she handles problems

32:46.719 --> 32:49.080
gonna put her reputation at risk?

32:49.159 --> 32:50.439
Don't forget

32:51.040 --> 32:54.959
we just launched her
as Superior's lead at the auction.

32:55.040 --> 32:58.159
Every move she makes
will be under a microscope.

33:01.360 --> 33:03.719
I hired you to assist Mae,

33:04.320 --> 33:06.719
not just follow her orders blindly.

33:06.800 --> 33:08.919
You have to assess the risks too.

33:09.000 --> 33:11.840
If something she does is going to blow up,

33:11.919 --> 33:13.320
you step in and fix it.

33:14.080 --> 33:16.719
Don't just stand there and let it happen.

33:17.399 --> 33:20.320
Otherwise, there's no point
in you being here at all.

33:22.679 --> 33:24.000
Am I right?

33:27.320 --> 33:28.199
Yes, sir.

33:44.639 --> 33:46.879
Thanks for closing the café like I asked.

33:46.959 --> 33:48.800
I've got to be careful right now.

33:49.480 --> 33:50.719
I don't want any drama.

33:50.800 --> 33:51.879
Take a seat.

33:51.959 --> 33:53.639
Whatever you want to say, just say it.

33:54.360 --> 33:56.000
I don't have much time.

33:57.159 --> 33:58.679
I've got nothing to say.

33:58.760 --> 34:00.679
It's you. If you have
anything to say, just say it.

34:02.280 --> 34:03.760
Did I really do something that bad?

34:04.280 --> 34:06.000
Is that why you're so set on ending it?

34:08.040 --> 34:09.719
I already told you.

34:09.799 --> 34:10.839
You didn't do anything wrong.

34:11.480 --> 34:13.120
You're just not the one.

34:14.560 --> 34:15.960
Not the one?

34:16.040 --> 34:17.719
What does that even mean?

34:18.759 --> 34:20.520
Can you stop asking for a reason?

34:20.600 --> 34:23.639
The best thing for both of us right now
is to walk away, Gavin.

34:23.719 --> 34:25.880
Forcing it won't fix anything.

34:26.480 --> 34:27.400
And most importantly,

34:27.480 --> 34:31.120
right now I've got bigger things
to deal with than romance.

34:31.639 --> 34:32.880
I need to focus on my work.

34:33.719 --> 34:35.319
And so do you.

34:35.400 --> 34:36.920
You've got your own job to get back to.

34:37.000 --> 34:38.600
So stop chasing after me.

34:41.120 --> 34:43.199
Why do you get to be
the only one who chooses?

34:43.279 --> 34:44.639
Do I get a say in anything at all?

34:44.719 --> 34:46.920
We both have choices, Gavin.

34:47.839 --> 34:49.600
But you need to respect mine too.

34:50.839 --> 34:52.360
And have you respected mine?

34:52.880 --> 34:55.080
All you ever say is
you want to end it, over and over.

34:55.159 --> 34:56.920
-Just like that.
-Hey.

34:57.000 --> 34:58.080
Are you serious right now?

34:58.160 --> 35:00.200
You keep picking fights.
Can't you just listen?

35:00.279 --> 35:01.720
When will you finally get it, huh?

35:03.440 --> 35:05.279
-Wait, Mae. Talk to me.
-Ow! Gavin, that hurts!

35:05.360 --> 35:06.960
-I'm done talking. Let go!
-Let's talk.

35:07.040 --> 35:08.480
-We need to clear this up, Mae.
-I said it hurts!

35:08.560 --> 35:10.360
I don't want to break up with you.
Please, just hear me out.

35:10.440 --> 35:12.240
-That's enough.
-Why, Mae?

35:14.160 --> 35:15.200
This is not your business.

35:18.040 --> 35:20.560
Let go! That hurts! Let go!

35:20.640 --> 35:23.400
Let go! I said let go, damn it!

35:23.480 --> 35:25.040
Hey! Whoa!

35:25.120 --> 35:26.640
If you don't want to get hurt,

35:26.720 --> 35:28.080
then stay away from Ms. Mae.

35:28.160 --> 35:29.319
What the hell's your problem?

35:29.400 --> 35:30.360
You're just her lackey,

35:30.440 --> 35:32.120
-stay out of this.
-That's too much!

35:32.720 --> 35:35.040
Yeah, I'm just a lackey.

35:35.640 --> 35:37.440
But I've got more worth
than you'll ever have.

35:38.240 --> 35:42.040
You were born with everything,
yet you waste it all.

35:42.120 --> 35:43.880
Spending your days
begging some woman to stay.

35:43.960 --> 35:45.279
Let me ask you something.

35:45.960 --> 35:47.160
Aren't you even ashamed of yourself?

35:47.240 --> 35:48.600
-Damn it!
-Hey!

35:48.680 --> 35:50.279
If you wanna go, bring it on.

35:56.920 --> 35:57.759
Let's go.

36:07.360 --> 36:08.839
Ms. Mae, are you alright?

36:08.920 --> 36:10.560
I'm fine.

36:13.000 --> 36:14.880
G, why did you come after me?

36:16.520 --> 36:19.680
I wasn't planning to follow you at first.

36:19.759 --> 36:20.920
But I couldn't help worrying.

36:21.000 --> 36:23.520
You're not just Superior's heir anymore.

36:24.640 --> 36:26.520
You're the one leading our company now.

36:29.600 --> 36:31.400
I'm sorry if I overstepped.

36:31.480 --> 36:33.400
But honestly,

36:33.480 --> 36:36.279
you should block
all ways for Gavin to reach you.

36:36.360 --> 36:38.360
So this won't happen again.

36:39.720 --> 36:40.839
Actually,

36:41.480 --> 36:43.360
I've been meaning
to block him for a while.

36:43.440 --> 36:45.480
But part of me still wanted to hold on.

36:48.200 --> 36:49.799
It's not just Gavin

36:49.880 --> 36:52.200
who doesn't understand
why I want to break up with him.

36:54.400 --> 36:56.359
I don't understand myself either.

37:14.400 --> 37:15.799
Thank you, Min.

37:30.120 --> 37:31.680
It's confirmed for tomorrow, yeah?

37:31.759 --> 37:33.160
I'm excited.

37:33.240 --> 37:34.520
It's our class reunion, after all.

37:34.600 --> 37:36.400
We're gonna gossip until sunrise.

37:36.480 --> 37:38.600
For sure. See you all there.

37:45.680 --> 37:47.279
The party's at the Orienna Hotel?

37:57.600 --> 37:58.680
Hello, Nutty.

37:59.400 --> 38:01.400
Who picked the venue for the reunion?

38:01.480 --> 38:03.480
We voted. Why?

38:04.799 --> 38:07.480
Turns out that place
is in your competitor's hotel.

38:08.000 --> 38:09.319
Oops. But it's no big deal, right?

38:09.400 --> 38:11.880
If you're scared, you don't have to come.

38:11.960 --> 38:13.799
I'm sure everyone will understand.

38:28.720 --> 38:31.400
A bit.
But it's great seeing you all again.

38:31.480 --> 38:32.319
Yes.

38:35.000 --> 38:36.120
But I think I should…

38:37.720 --> 38:38.759
I'll head out now.

39:07.520 --> 39:08.759
Did he follow you?

39:09.839 --> 39:10.720
Yeah.

39:12.000 --> 39:12.839
Need help?

39:35.359 --> 39:37.759
Tell the guy who followed her
what the rules are.

39:37.839 --> 39:39.200
Yes, Ms. Ai.

39:45.000 --> 39:47.920
Mae. Mae. Mae.

39:48.720 --> 39:49.640
Sorry, sir.

39:49.720 --> 39:51.200
Men aren't allowed in here.

39:51.279 --> 39:53.799
The Anthea Bar is for women only.

39:55.279 --> 39:57.000
Mae. Mae.

40:14.880 --> 40:16.080
Right this way.

40:18.880 --> 40:20.120
Two glasses of wine, please.

40:24.680 --> 40:27.319
Thanks for helping me.

40:27.400 --> 40:28.799
Of course.

40:29.440 --> 40:30.799
And I'm sorry

40:30.880 --> 40:33.319
for touching you
without permission earlier.

40:34.520 --> 40:35.600
No worries.

40:36.120 --> 40:37.720
Last time you did way more.

40:38.359 --> 40:39.560
And you didn't even say sorry.

40:40.319 --> 40:41.799
But this time, I mean well.

40:41.880 --> 40:44.200
So last time you didn't?

40:44.880 --> 40:46.120
I did.

40:47.359 --> 40:49.279
You did share my lipstick.

40:50.920 --> 40:52.279
Let me see.

40:53.160 --> 40:55.200
Did you go even bolder this time?

41:09.839 --> 41:10.920
Stay here for now.

41:11.520 --> 41:15.319
Just to make sure
the guy who followed you has left.

41:15.400 --> 41:16.520
Then you can head out.

41:17.319 --> 41:18.520
It's okay.

41:19.640 --> 41:21.359
I can find my way out.

41:22.200 --> 41:23.680
There's probably another exit somewhere.

41:25.600 --> 41:28.200
How could you possibly know
this place better than me?

41:31.000 --> 41:32.240
Just stay a little longer.

41:33.359 --> 41:34.680
I'd like you to stay.

41:43.560 --> 41:44.600
Drink with me.

41:45.920 --> 41:47.000
I don't drink.

41:47.520 --> 41:48.799
Excuse me, I'll be leaving.

41:50.120 --> 41:52.319
Turning down someone who just helped you

41:53.240 --> 41:54.799
is kind of rude, isn't it?

42:32.359 --> 42:34.040
You don't mind, do you?

42:35.000 --> 42:36.680
If we share a glass.

42:39.560 --> 42:40.920
Do whatever you want.

42:41.480 --> 42:43.400
It's not like I've got a choice.

42:45.600 --> 42:47.080
By the way,

42:48.319 --> 42:49.720
what brings you here?

42:51.759 --> 42:53.279
I come here quite often actually.

42:54.799 --> 42:56.920
Out of all the businesses
under our company,

42:57.520 --> 42:59.799
the Anthea Bar is my personal favorite.

43:02.799 --> 43:03.960
Why is that?

43:05.000 --> 43:06.759
Because every time I come here,

43:07.759 --> 43:09.400
I get to be myself.

43:11.160 --> 43:15.160
No need to worry about
how people look at me or judge me.

43:15.880 --> 43:17.359
Because everyone here

43:17.960 --> 43:19.600
is just like me.

43:21.080 --> 43:22.520
We like the same things.

43:44.240 --> 43:45.640
Like what exactly?

43:48.560 --> 43:49.680
Like women?

43:53.839 --> 43:54.920
And if I do,

43:56.879 --> 43:58.160
then what?

44:36.200 --> 44:39.400
I want you to know
what my turning point was.

44:39.480 --> 44:42.759
In case you want to
find some answers for yourself.

44:42.839 --> 44:45.520
None of this was a coincidence.

44:45.600 --> 44:48.480
Ms. Ai set things up
so you and her would be alone.

44:48.560 --> 44:50.400
And don't you think maybe I agreed

44:50.480 --> 44:52.000
because I feel the same way she does.

44:52.080 --> 44:54.279
Remember this. Someone like me

44:54.359 --> 44:55.920
never plays to lose.

44:56.000 --> 44:57.480
If you're here to play games,

44:57.560 --> 45:00.080
-I'll play just as hard.
-Hey!

45:00.160 --> 45:01.600
And if you keep going like this,

45:03.000 --> 45:04.680
you'll lose every single time.
