Is this limited to design department? This packaging design contest is open company-wide. Three-day deadline. The winner may make one request.
Wow, that’s generous. Can winners join design department? If you can win, certainly. Emily Carter, do you even understand design? How dare you boast here.
Shameless. Know your place. Save your concerns.
Results will speak in three days. Sophia, I’ve checked. When Emily Carter was at school, she won numerous awards in design competitions.
If she wins, our department loses face. I have a plan. Done at last.
Just final tweaks tomorrow. Pack up. Emily Carter, after I win this contest, I’ll have you expelled from Thompson Enterprises.
Let’s go. I’ll take you home. Thank you, Mr. Thompson.
Water. Ripples. I’ve got an idea.
Mr. Thompson, you go ahead first. I’ll revise the draft. Come back.
It’s late. Go home. This is the design for our second-gen product with an overall white theme, pure and minimalist, emphasizing formula purity and product integrity and the product itself.
This is my original design. Wow. This competition is pointless.
Let’s declare Sister Sophia the winner. Exactly. This is my design.
Emily Carter, have some shame. I worked three days and nights on this masterpiece. Don’t think your secretary position lets you steal my work.
Emily Carter, a design thief like you, is a cancer in this industry. Get out of Thompson Enterprises. I agree.
Expel Emily Carter immediately. Enough. Emily Carter, you claim this is your design? Where’s your proof? My initial design used white for purity and simplicity, pure and minimalist.
Stop parroting my words. Like our products eliminating toxins, we use natural ingredients. Choose natural ingredients.
Sweet Talk won’t make this your design. Since women are made of water, hydration comes first in skincare. Our second-gen product has better moisturization with lightweight texture.
Therefore, I made it transparent with water ripple patterns. This does seem like Emily Carter has a better design. Bullshit.
Sophia’s design is clearly superior. This woman. How dare you go behind my back and secretly make a second version? Who’s better? I trust everyone can judge for themselves.
Emily Carter, you’re now full-time. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be the new designer in our department. Thank you, Mr. Thompson.
Meeting adjourned. Everyone, I have an announcement to make. Based on Sophia and Emily Carter’s performances, the company has decided Emily Carter will serve as leader of design team two, overseeing new product development.
Former design director Sophia is demoted to team three leader. Let’s give them a round of applause. She actually won.
What’s there to be proud of? She just slept your way up. First with manager Anderson, got beaten by his wife when caught. Emily Carter, you used your body to reach my level.
How dare you act superior? You’re nothing special. I recorded everything you said. Mr. Thompson hates gossipers.
If he sees this, you’ll all be fired. Sophia, look at her. Apologize now and I’ll let this slide.
Three, two. I’m sorry. You too.
Sorry. What? Speak louder. I’m sorry.
That’s better. I’m going to Seattle on business tomorrow. Emily Carter, prepare to accompany me.
Mr. Thompson always took Sophia on business trips before. Why take Emily Carter now? Stop. What did you do to make him choose you? Why you instead of me? Because I’m better than you.
Lies. You slept with Mr. Thompson. How did you know? You gave me Mr. Thompson’s location that day.
You spiked Mr. Thompson’s drink. What nonsense are you talking? I have acquaintance there. She witnessed it firsthand.
What acquaintance? The waiter who locked me in the room? What waiter? I have no idea what you’re saying. Stop framing me. Mr. Thompson, the documents for going to Seattle are all prepared.
Hmm. Do you found who drugged you last time? We identified one suspect, but there’s likely… someone behind him. Could it be Sophia? She sent me the hotel location? Moreover, she seems aware of what happened.
Mr. Thompson, your coffee is ready. I’ll investigate this matter. Go pack your things first.
Understood. Hey, gorgeous. Let me show you something special.
Pervert. There’s a pervert near you. Be careful.
I’m coming now. Sweetheart. Stop her.
Don’t let her escape. What do you think you’re doing? Do you like her? If you like her, she’s yours to keep. Do whatever you want with her.
Stop. Don’t hurt him. Watch out.
Let’s go. You just let them escape? We agreed to make money together. I warned you not to touch Michael Thompson.
Next time, I’ll end you. Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you. One last time.
I feel much better now. Okay, that’s enough. Uh, thanks for yesterday.
You’re my employee. It’s my duty to protect you. Just an employee? Mr. Thompson, Emily Carter told me you were attacked.
Are you okay? If something had happened to me, could I still be standing in front of you? I said you needed bodyguards. You refused. So eager for alone time with Emily Carter? Having your private moment? Alone time? What nonsense.
Don’t you have feelings for Emily Carter? You like me. What do you mean I like you? You were the one who liked me first. When did I ever like you? Then why did you tell your grandma that I’m your husband? You even wrote down all my preferences in your little notebook.
If this isn’t love, what is? My grandma misunderstood. Beside, that notebook contains work-related notes only. I note down details for you, Director Anderson, Taylor, and Lee too.
Moreover, aren’t you into men? That was just an excuse to reject you. Who needs your rejection? Narcissist. Dare to say you don’t like me? Think whatever you want.
You clearly like me but won’t admit it. Director Thompson, do you like her? I… Of course not. I prefer gentle and caring types, not someone who’s loud and chatty all day.
Director Thompson, the reason she likes you is you fell for her first. Therefore, you’re obviously the one crushing on Emily Carter. Are you saying… I’m… secretly pining for Emily Carter? If you dare spill this, you’re dead.
I brought food for both of you. Have some first. Isn’t this the gift Director Thompson asked me to prepare for his wife that day? Is there a problem? My husband gave me this.
Seems your husband isn’t that great. This bracelet looks cheap. Mr. Thompson, this bracelet is expensive.
When you asked me to choose a gift from Adam, this bracelet was an option. Mr. Thompson, you don’t even remember what you gave your wife? Mm-mm. All men are the same.
Hey, what’s wrong with Mr. Thompson? You know exactly why. You know I like Emily Carter, yet you mention gifts from Adam. You’re more trouble than help.
But your marriage is a sham, and you’re divorcing soon. But she doesn’t know that. Should I explain it to her? Stay out of it.
I’ll talk to her myself. By the way, her birthday is in two days. Prepare a decent birthday gift.
Something better than that trashy bracelet her ex gave. Understood. Wait.
Never mind. With those ugly glasses, your taste is clearly terrible. I’ll choose it myself.
What’s going on here? Cut the act. Don’t play dumb. This birthday gift is from Mr. Thompson.
She’s just showing off. Some people stole Sophia’s position through shady means, even schemed, to get such expensive gifts from Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson’s divorcing his wife must be her doing too.
Michael Thompson, you’re setting me up. You’re so good at gossip. Why not spread it to Mr. Thompson? Let me state again, these are Mr. Thompson’s gifts for his wife, nothing to do with me.
Mr. Thompson’s divorcing his wife. Why would he buy her all these gifts? Exactly. She’s making excuses out of guilt.
Mr. Thompson’s divorcing his wife for her. Soon she’ll be the future Mrs. Thompson of Thompson Enterprises. I have a wild theory.
Could it be that Emily Carter is Mr. Thompson’s secret wife? Impossible. Are you serious? Emily Carter? She’s unworthy. This is my husband’s phone.
Why do you have it? Because your husband’s in my bed. The voice on the phone sounds just like Emily Carter’s. I sent Mrs. Thompson to catch Emily Carter, but she never showed.
If Emily Carter is Mrs. Thompson, everything makes sense. Fine. I’ll test this again.
Let me see if you’re really Mrs. Thompson. Mr. Thompson, was the gift on my desk from you? Well, isn’t it better than that tacky bracelet your husband gave you? Listen, these gifts were carefully chosen just for you. I don’t want them.
Take them back. Why not? Don’t you like them? If you don’t, I’ll get you new ones. What are you trying to do? I said I like you.
Don’t you feel anything for me? You smell amazing. Stop it. Do I like him? Maybe.
But I won’t be the other woman breaking up a family. You’re married, Mr. Thompson. And I have a husband.
We’re not single and available. Let’s keep our distance. As for the gifts… Give them to your wife.
She rejected your gifts? Yeah. Told me to pass them to you. She’s obviously jealous.
Did you tell her we’re fake married? I don’t know how. By the way, if you want those gifts, come to Thompson Enterprises. No need.
You’ve given me enough already. I can’t accept more. Besides, these are for her.
Wait. Thompson Enterprises? What a coincidence. What are you sneaking around here for? Nothing much.
What are you up to? Hi. Just doing what you wanted. Chatting warmly with my wife.
What broken door? Cheapskate. What’s wrong? What happened? Why did you hang up suddenly? It’s nothing. Got scolded by my stingy boss.
Seems like every time we talk, you end up mentioning him. If you really hate him that much, come work at my company. Actually, I don’t hate him that much.
So you like him? Well, maybe a little. Looks like we’ve both fallen for someone we shouldn’t. President Thompson, the money tree.
I’ve got something to handle. Gotta go. President Thompson, the leaves on that expensive money tree you bought.
Emily Carter is almost plucking all the leaves off. Emily Carter. Looking forward to meeting you, Madam Thompson.
I’ll find out soon. The mysterious wife of Mr. Thompson. Is it really you? Emily Carter.
Didn’t we agree to divorce in seven days? There’s still three days left. Why the rush? You invited me to the cafe. Let’s just meet and talk face to face.
Hello? Hello. Was someone at the door earlier? There’s a lady on the phone outside. Wasn’t it you who arranged this? Then who… Oh.
That mistress from last time. In three days, we’ll meet at number six Xingyang Road. First accompany me to see Grandpa.
After explaining the situation to him, we’ll go to the County Clerk’s Office to divorce. Fine. See you in three days.
I’m still curious about what his mistress looks like. Should we go take a look? No way. Last time I was mistaken for a homewrecker.
They beat me up pretty bad. Maybe next time. She still managed to get away.
In three days, I’ll be single again. Emmy. What is it, Grandma? That boss who brought you home last time.
He seems to be downstairs now. Maybe he needs something from you. Mr. Thompson is downstairs.
Grandma, please go back inside. I’ll go check on him. What are you doing here? How did you know I was here? Obviously, my grandma saw you from upstairs.
What do you really want from me? Emily Carter. I love you. I know you feel the same.
Why can’t we be together? We’re both married already. I won’t become a homewrecker who destroys families. You’re not breaking up my family.
My marriage is fake. I only did it to appease my grandfather and secure the family inheritance. Found a contractual spouse.
We only met on our wedding registration day. I don’t even remember her face. A sham marriage? That’s exactly my situation.
Give me three days, okay? I’ll finalize the divorce with her. Wait, hold on. This is too much to process.
My husband and I are in a sham marriage, too. Did you used to be called Olivia Bennett? Did you change your name before? I never changed my name. I’ve always been Emily Carter.
At least now I know. We’re both in fake marriages after we both get divorced. Let’s be together.
Hell must be freezing over. What is it? Mr. Thompson, you asked me to investigate the drugging incident. It was indeed Sophia’s doing.
Bring her to my office. Understood? You wanted to see me, Mr. Thompson? You’re the one who drugged me, aren’t you? It wasn’t me. I didn’t do it.
Did that Emily Carter poison your mind against me? I called you here not to listen to your excuses. I overheard everything.
You’re fired. Pack your things and leave immediately. Mr. Thompson, I’ve served you for so many years. Don’t I deserve some credit? Now you want to drive me away because of Emily Carter? Not pressing charges is me being generous. Or would you prefer legal consequences? Oh, and find me a lawyer tomorrow.
Have them draft divorce papers. I’ll be officially divorced in two days. Mr. Thompson, are you planning to be with Emily Carter after divorcing? We both entered sham marriages.
We agreed that after ending these marriages, we’d officially be together. Mr. Thompson and his wife have a fake marriage. No wonder she’s so indifferent toward him.
This won’t do. I must stop Mr. Thompson from being with Emily Carter. What are you doing here? Alex Johnson, please beg Mr. Thompson for me.
I was just confused for a moment. I can’t help you with this. You should pack your things quickly and leave the company.
What’s there to be proud of? Once I’m with Mr. Thompson, you’ll be the first to go. What are you looking for? Can’t I just pick up a pen? Marriage certificate? It can’t be. No.
It’s Mr. Thompson’s marriage certificate. This is my personal item. I don’t believe you.
Show me. Why should I show you? This is my private property. Seems Mr. Thompson and Emily Carter don’t know who their sham marriage partner really is.
If Mr. Thompson finds out Emily Carter is actually his wife, we must keep them from finding out. Something’s fishy. She claimed to look for a pen but found a marriage certificate instead.
You won’t show me? I’ll see it anyway. What are you doing? You scared me. This is the certificate Sophia just found.
She says it’s hers. But I suspect it might actually be yours. Let’s check and find out.
Makes sense. Emily Carter, what are you doing? Why is this empty? Emily Carter, how dare you go through my stuff? This is utterly disrespectful. I thought this was Mr. Thompson’s marriage certificate.
Why is it blank? This is my friend’s discarded marriage certificate. Of course it’s blank. I’m apologies.
I misunderstood you. You’re no match for me, Emily Carter. Michael Thompson belongs to me alone.
I’ll never let you be together. When they finalize their divorce, they’ll have to meet in person. The truth will come out then.
Miss Rodriguez, I discovered Mr. Thompson arranged a sham marriage with someone named Olivia Bennett. But somehow they never officially registered it. Here’s Olivia Bennett’s photo.
Miss Rodriguez, is this information satisfactory? Very satisfactory. Thank you, Miss Rodriguez. Call me again for future jobs.
Olivia Bennett. So you’re the one looking for me? Let me make this clear up front. I don’t take jobs under 100k.
This card has a million in it. Do me a favor. Emmy.
