sorry for calling you in Addison another
emergency no better now than after I

vacation I know I know oh I have a
sample in the back to send to the lab

tight but thank you thank you

thank you
the sales managers are working their
teams and are seeing results in repeat
customer contracts new cells are holding
steady same as last year but next fiscal
Year's projections are coming in at 18
that's promising not good enough
Pete did you crawl here oh sorry there
was just a lot of traffic and I tried to
the grown-ups are talking 18 beats out
last year in the chip sector and that
was last year this year we need to top
that honestly how long have you worked
here Justin what do you have in mind I
doubt you're really relying on the chip
sector alone Katrina Sawyer
she's sitting on a patent that can make
the power division Skyrocket how so a
new battery design 40 smaller yet twenty
five percent more strength in life if we
could do that that would increase sales
astronomically really I'm so glad you
pointed that out to me why hasn't anyone
moved on it it's not common knowledge
either she underestimates what she has
or she's oblivious my money's on the
second one she's on the chopping block
though from what I heard she's gossip
not that horrible coffee shop you go to
is not reliable
what's the latest
um
Katrina's giving it a role but analysts
are saying that the company is having
problems I know what the analysts are
saying yeah but she's taking a vacation
which is ruffling some feathers
considering that Financial concerns
either she'll be replaced or the company
will sink further probably within 15
months where is she
I usually vacations at the Hamptons
Grand Cayman or Maldives I will find out
now yep
uh do you need anything else for me any
reservations for dinner tonight six
people got it uh you shoot something

shine
even when I'm sick Pete I've told you a
thousand times you chose the wrong job
what does a big bad billionaire have you
doing oh you know the usual
which is everything he beams is beneath
him which is oh that's right yeah
literally everything you could always go
back and get your master's degree wow no
if I go back to school I'll have to
start all over at this place right now I
have Justin's here not really when he
sees how hard I worked I can apply for
some place better in the company you

for hours hours I got all the info on
her under the guise of sending her a
message okay she's not in one of her
usual spots this time it's Saint Martin
really
when ah she left today I think she's
gonna be there a couple weeks
call the property manager of my house
there get everything ready for my
arrival
you got it yeah when do you want to um
tomorrow morning move around my schedule
make it work you got it I will call your
jet
can you travel with that mess oh yeah
no yes I said it's just a scratch you
can't travel and work hobbling around
like that call um Duncan he'll go with
me no sister I promise
hi would you love Duncan know I'd like
to see him thank you thank you so much
is Duncan the of the manipulative
lazy goon who's been asking my job for
years never to my heels yeah he's
he starts kissing up to Justin I'm sorry
I have to go on this trip you can't why
not you need rest you're like having me
cast for a few more days at there really
is and I can just see you hobbling over
sandy beaches on crutches trying to get
Ross the Boss there his sunglasses
you'll make it worse and you'll end up
needing surgery I don't think that I can
get you a discount just because I work
for a doctor okay I do think you're over
exaggerating Pete maybe this is a sign
to take a break no this is the Cutthroat
world of Justin Ross okay you don't get
it if I don't go he's just gonna replace
me he can't do that he can and he will
everything I've worked for gone but if I
can just get through this we'll be fine
everything will be fine I I can't give
up now I mean you'll just magically heal
by tomorrow I don't know but if I could
just find another solution
too bad you can't clone yourself
no what
could use a better version of myself
what yeah uh never mind I'm Duncan oh
okay thank you I'm okay follow me
whatever happens
just roll with it
no it won't raise any antitrust or
Monopoly Flags
okay get back to me when you vetted it
fully
don't tell me
Duncan is in crutches too no but Duncan
is Just Gonna Let You Down it looks like
you're in a fall down look I can come
and base out of the house on the island
that way I I can still get you whatever
you need I need someone who can go and
do what I need I read I agree 100 which
is why my sister Addison will be coming
with us what she's super organized she
runs everything in this massively busy
Medical Practice she works at she can go
where I cannot that's a ridiculous idea
yeah what he said if Duncan goes he's
just gonna to pretend to work and then
leave you hanging at the worst possible
second sir you're following Katrina
Sawyer to convince her to sell right do
you really want a bumbling assistant
following you around well I've gotten
used to it as it is look she's good all
right she can do this she's better than
me Pete so you're saying I should fire
you and hire her no I actually think her
doctor would fight you pretty hard on
that but fortunately for us she has the
next couple weeks off look you get her
skills my brains nothing falls to the
cracks
I've never seen you this emphatic no
desperate doesn't suit you
are you really better than your brother
I guess
we leave tomorrow now get back to work
oh Pete
if this ends up in disaster
Allison here has nothing to lose Addison
you however do
you got it
I can't believe you we can do this
and what about your leg you'll need to
get a cast it's a standard broken leg or
it'll just find someone in Saint Martin
to do it hard can it be and what about
him
you've been complaining about Justin
Ross ever since you started working here
and now you're trying to rope me into
working for him too just for the trip
okay like it can't be any harder than
you running Dr Morgan's office yes it is
not at the core of it look you do what
he asks I take care of everything else
we'll be fine he's conceited and rude
and you've dealt with difficult patients
before and families complaining about
how long the wait time is for
appointments and billing and everything
else
how hard can it be
Madison please my job relies on you
no pressure
thank you
you're the best
oh this is going to be a disaster
can you grab my
I got it
did you take your pain meds today oh
yeah yes I did well do you need a pillow
for your foot
it's fine yes see he's fine now shush
oh
it was a bestseller for 10 weeks
that's that's good take it you should
read it
sure you could stand to learn something
is it a memoir or your business
philosophy a little bit of both
huh
is it any good
just asking
um
are you kidding me wow
this isn't a vacation
I know yeah could you tone it down
you're embarrassingly sorry
welcome is Justine everything is ready
for you it's a fridge is fully stocked
good
would you be going out again this
evening I'll drag myself if I do leave
the keys
take my bags to my room after that I
won't be needing anything else for a
while I'll have one of my assistants
call if I do of course I miss you
okay take a look around get familiar
with where everything is and figure out
something for dinner I want to eat at
seven yeah okay
where should I take a room
how's this
hey this is great
anything you need no no I just need to
get off my foot for a few minutes
oh hey um
please don't let Justin see me like this
got it
I'm going to go put away my things okay
foreign
what are you doing uh I was
this is your room isn't it yes sorry
it's just picking a spot like you said
wrong spot
uh yeah while you're here though unpack
my bags causes right there
yeah
weekends
did you just wake up I didn't even mean
to fall asleep
he didn't call for me right no
he did ask me to unpack his bags no I'm
sorry
are you the maid firm when you travel to
uh no no not really
what about the cook I usually just order
something with the company card well now
you tell me
I mean look get used to some lowly stuff
the amount of drinks I got for him for
the first few months made me think I was
just like
I don't like his personal waiter or
something well I'd be fine with this if
he showed some appreciation yeah yeah he
just he doesn't really do that typical
did you ever read his book um I actually
assumed it was required reading when I
got the job because he hands it out to
all of his employees so sad look I I'd
like I know it's tough but
it'll get better right you've been
working for him for how long now so you
tell me has it gotten any better
point taken
uh Mr Ross your dinner is ready where
would you like to eat it inside is fine
as is
Justin
this will do oh you can go
how do you need anything else
enjoy
look you're just gonna have to get used
to the idea that he doesn't see us as
equals
I can't believe you believe that I mean
money or not that's no excuse to behave
that way this is a totally different
world than we live in Dr Morgan never is
like that it's because Dr Morgan is a
decent human being and Justin Ross's
so what do we do tomorrow
he has a full day of meetings and calls
I can take care of whatever he needs for
that it's anything that requires walking
that I might not be able to do
um if I can get away during the day I'm
gonna find a doctor and make an
appointment for you to get your cast no
I I can call around and handle that
you're on the clock so he's gonna expect
you to be available on the clock
am I even getting paid
no count on it
I'll get you a better Christmas present
this year
thank you
foreign
sales projections from each sector of
the company the managers will say they
need more time but too bad I want them
now you got it I also want you to stay
up on all the gossip about Katrina
Sawyer what the employees over there
saying too okay yeah already on that
actually only a set up a way for me to
meet with her
or maybe
that'll be where you useful
okay do you want her to come here no
that won't work it's got to be casual uh
natural what do you mean she's not a fan
some hurt feelings from a few years ago
so figure out a way for us to run into
each other
so you came all the way here for a
meeting with someone who doesn't like
you
good news is I already have the address
of where she's staying
do I go knock on the door I don't know
how coincidental that would be but we'll
we'll think of something get to it both
of you you got it
oh wait
see here
Excuse me yes how can I help you
um I think every place but I thought
it'd be a hotel what's the address
I think it's here it's supposed to be
called the crystal Haven
Crystal Haven no I I don't think that
you know Ashley
yeah yeah it's it's a yacht oh it is
coming in tomorrow yeah thanks so
good you're back we've got tea time
let's go I don't I don't golf I'm
golfing not you is Pete coming
I think that question through
I'll be in the car
here you go he's late
Lamar Nichols is he a friend here no he
wants to do business with me so he's
flying in
just to meet with you yeah
people do that
I don't think you understand who I am
Justin
sorry my flight was late sorry good to
see you let's get going shall we
uh where do you want me to keep up
foreign
the trick in golf
and business
is to keep your eye on the ball
I'll remember that thanks for the game
for the time sure safe trip home
good
I could have been him with my eyes
closed yeah I think he realized that too
have you ever heard of winning
gracefully yeah something I was
interested in would have let him win
it was a waste of time
might as well get some satisfaction out
of it
where do you stand with Katrina
oh
um
does she own a yacht
I imagine so it'll be addresses to the
marina and she's scheduled to arrive
there tomorrow
brother said she would already be here
boats take longer should have known
he's not psychic well that's too bad it
would make him useful for once don't
insult him
what was that
I'm just saying there's no need to put
him down
great
I like mine scrambled these are mine
I'm surprised you don't have a cook when
I have guests I do it's just me I like
things quiet
you ever cooked for yourself not if I
can help it that's where you come in
did you enjoy your reading
your book
yeah
it was great for putting me to sleep
I'm gonna go by the marina today to see
about Katrina Sawyer anything you need
me to do while I'm out no but I want a
meeting with her by the end of day
tomorrow
see what I can do
I'm glad we're off the boat you haven't
got your sea legs yet like a pirate
a little bit of exploring will help can
we do something fun
Katrina what time do you want dinner
tonight at Indigo Bay how hungry are you
Annie I'm hungry for ice cream
6 30 should be fine can we still explore
though
yes we will do everything fun we can
while on this trip I promise
the figures look promising but I want
these deals closed faster there's a new
incentive package in the works that we
think will get better results well they
should be more efficient not stalling
all the time for an extra handout get it
done will do
uh Patricia from legal long few minutes
whenever you had time
she's arrived Katrina Sawyer is here uh
well at the marina about time she's
eating at some place in Indigo Bay at 6
30. I checked and there's only one
restaurant there yeah I know it make
reservations for just before she's
supposed to arrive got it I will do that
and be sure to wear something nice
we're going with you Oh no just you I
don't want hoppy here to be a
distraction so it's me eating with the
boss while you're supposedly what
vacationing is that what you're going to
tell her
you're right just go by yourself no too
pathetic
you'll be my date
what going to town find a suitable dress
uh I I have clothes
based on what I'm seeing it won't be
acceptable if you're supposed to be with
me if you does my card better hurry
it's not that bad oh really does he ask
you to be his date often no but think of
it as a compliment right going out with
a billionaire that's like saying you
look like a billion bucks
just having funnier in my head
and then this I have to get a new
wardrobe for him which one uh I don't
know which one do you like better
I can't think like that because whatever
I like would be something that looked
good on me and I don't want to look good
for him it's not for him it's for the
whole charade exactly
what about that one
yeah
fine I'll try it on look for all his
faults he's not
he he doesn't have a bad reputation
right like he's not gonna step out of
line oh great I feel so much better it's
just dinner and it's more for Katrina's
benefit
I mean
hey uh thank you
I know this is what you want so thank
you
if he orders me a salad I'm quitting
please

well that's Annie my daughter and Jane
my assistant and you're here with Justin
Ross
I guess so
have you been seeing him for long no I'm
uh still getting to know him
don't let the money blind you
good advice
I'm hoping there's more to them than
that but so far I'm not sure
do you know him well then more than I
want to
not romantically thank goodness anything
I should keep in mind
trust your instincts
here you go
thanks
so anything fun that you're planning to
do while on the island we'll see what
comes up anything to relax
oh sorry I'm keeping you oh it's fine
enjoy your drink thanks
I'm going to be around for a couple of
weeks if you need a break from Justin
it's too much or something it break
sounds wonderful
sorry I I shouldn't have said that it's
fine
my daughter and I are going to have a
picnic on the beach tomorrow would you
like to join us that sounds great
so
I have a lunch with Katrina tomorrow
how the power of girl talk
okay great tell Pete to clear my
schedule for it oh you're not invited
don't worry
fine the fish with linguine and
asparagus
thank you
thanks for dinner yeah
you're not
afraid of me are you
should I be it's pretty common at least
for those beneath me
maybe people are afraid because you
treat those beneath you
pretty poorly
I compensate people very well I'm not
talking about money
how was dinner the fish was good about
the company
tolerable hey a good job on getting in
with Katrina that's big I feel for her
and I don't even know what happened
can I
pack yourself up
so when I was researching Katrina I
think I figured out what happened
between her and Justin
he was trying to acquire the chip
company she was running at the time
technology chips not like potatoes yeah
I got that yeah
what's up she had doubts but he sold her
on it and the deal actually got a lot of
Buzz Justin made some promises about
what he wanted to do but instead he just
dismantled the entire company he stood
to gain a profit from it but a lot of
people lost their jobs and Katrina was
the one who took all the Flack
then gets out that Justin said that she
was gullible that he paid way less than
the company was worth and he was
really proud of his coup
I can totally see him saying that yeah
well she got fired bad press this is the
top 10 overpaid CEOs and she lost her
job
until a couple years ago she got hired
as a CEO to save a sinking company but
it's not going well there yet either
no
yeah
I can love my leg Yeah thank you for
continually reminding me of that you're
alive you're way better no I am not I
still have that sure yeah
you know I'm really glad you taught me
how to do this except sometimes I can't
really figure it out
Annie
she's here
who made it
hi hi I'm Addison I'm Annie hey do you
like origami is that for me
thanks I thought you might like it come
on let's not keep your mom waiting
so what happened next then it's huge
wave game and watched over the deck and
I thought we were going to sink well I'm
glad you didn't me too
Mom can I go in the water sure
oh wait can you keep it safe for me I
will
I hope your trip over here wasn't that
dangerous
well we did hit some rough water but
Annie exaggerates a bit
she's very sweet thank you
so other than enchanting children with
origami what do you do I'm an office
manager back at home for a medical
practice is that so how long have you
been doing that oh
five years no six actually is that how
you met Justin no I've met him through
my brother he works for Justin
and we're not really in any type of
relationship I don't want to mislead you
or give you the wrong impression
and yet you're here with him oh it's
more to help my brother he was in an
accident so I'm just here to help him
with the things he can't do
will he be all right yeah just a broken
leg
so you're here for business then
more of a favor
I see
so what brought you here of all places
it seemed like a good spot to escape too
a nice change for my usual hunt
apparently I couldn't have picked a
worse spot with Justin Ross here
you really have a problem with him you
would too
he manipulated me went back on his word
and tried to ruin my career
I'm so sorry things were pretty bad for
a while they're not perfect right now
either and with Justin around
I don't want history to repeat itself
thank you for lunch and for the company
it was good to talk with you and for
what it's worth I hope you enjoy
yourself here if Justin leaves maybe I
will well I'll see what I can do but I
doubt I can change his mind
do you think he regrets it
regret
that would mean he has a conscience
well anything is possible
Addison
hey
um what are you doing I thought we'd get
some jet skis go exploring
um sure Katrina you're more than welcome
to join
thank you
but no
other plans no
how'd it go
um good
to talk to her at some point when she'll
listen to me I can't force her to and it
sounds like you didn't do yourself any
favors with whatever happened last time
around
watch it you're not going to win her
over by being overbearing
are we really going jet skiing no ah
so you said that just so you seem like
you're a fun relatable guy
I thought you'd do it because you're a
thrill seeker
at least that's what it makes you seem
like in your book
I used to be
now what makes Wall Street and my
insurance agent nervous
I don't think I'd call jet skiing thrill
seeking though
suppose not
do you know what your book doesn't talk
about though my top 10 crypto picks
boring no
who you were before you were the
self-made entrepreneur genius
billionaire
is there going to be a second book in
the works about that
no sorry to disappoint you
I used to hang around the golf courses
when I was a kid I'd hunt for lost golf
balls and gather him up why
to sell my family was not well off so it
helped
it wasn't a lot but got me enough for
lunch money for school why didn't you
write about that
I'd rather focus on the now
like Katrina
fine
her feelings about you are the biggest
hurdle so if you're gonna get anywhere
you gotta get her past that she only
sees her side of it though there were
considerations pressures from every side
like what
I had a lot of attention from everyone
investors analysts competitors
I did what I had to
do you're okay with that
you have to do whatever it takes to
succeed in business
you need anything else tonight no okay
until tomorrow then Hey listen
um
you uh
you did good today
thanks
putting your brother to shame though I
got lucky
and you shouldn't forget how much you
rely on him
only for things a toddler could do
all right
and after that
stop putting him down he must do a good
job or you would have fired him a long
time ago
you can't keep treating him like he's
nothing
I was paying you a compliment at the
expense of someone else you're only
saying that because he's your brother I
hope I would say that no matter who you
were talking about
he works hard harder than I've ever seen
him work and he stresses about it all
the time because you don't care or show
you're grateful how would you know he
broke his leg in an accident rushing
back to work after taking five minutes
to have lunch with me
did you ever express any concern
it's not my problem
it doesn't mean that you can't show a
little compassion you didn't even ask
him what happened
it was obvious he hurt his leg where's
the mystery besides what other job
brings him and you here it's not like
this is a vacation he's working with a
broken leg and it hasn't been a picnic
for me either oh really yeah you expect
me to run all your errands cook for you
be your housekeeper and Maid oh and your
fake date
well half the stuff I asked you to do
was just to see if you would do it
are you serious
you're unbelievable
you can't keep talking to him like that
do you know how hard it is for me to
hear him put you down all the time look
absent I don't love it either but this
is temporary right you can't let it get
to you okay fine look just
just keep your head down for a while all
right Pete at some point that won't be
enough you can't keep bowing down to him
I'm not going to be in this job forever
okay I just have to tread water for a
little longer and then he'll give me a
chance somewhere better in the company
and how do you know that talked about it
on my first day wow that's Ironclad
okay whatever
did you call the doctor no I set an
appointment for sometime early next week

boy I'm sure he can handle things by
himself for a couple hours
good morning good morning how do you
like your eggs what
eggs

since you point out how badly I treated
you I figured it's the least I could do
over a medium yoke broken no thank you
do you pass the bagels yeah
so
I need a meeting with Katrina which I
know it's out of my hands for now at
least but in the meantime I want to
review everything about our company
synergies costs benefits all that today
yeah where's Pete uh he's coming do you
want yours toasted yeah
you do know it's Saturday right so do
you always work 24 7 I mean you're in a
beautiful place an amazing home
supposedly vacationing it's your point
well you could actually just take a day
off why so ump can have the day off too
no because you could use it
no I've been here before a lot of other
places you've seen one Island you've
seen them all
I've heard in a while
so Davidson wanted some extra time next
week he still wanted to preview the deal
points yeah send them what we have but
tell Hank to check it for any updated
figures okay yeah we'll do make sure no
one over there is talking when they
shouldn't be
situation here is delicate yeah no for
sure you got it
uh hey I just wanted to uh want to thank
you for letting Addison come and I know
she can be pretty pretty outspoken but
she's fine
okay yes
good uh thanks again
wait a minute
you and Addison can have the rest of the
day off
sorry
what did you just say get out of here
for a while both of you okay

why we have to leave before he changes
his Minds

just gonna call a cab instead

nope I forgot my wallet
okay hurry though
oh
sorry I I forgot something oh okay uh do
you need anything before we go
I thought you already left
almost we're waiting for a cab oh you
you just take the car uh really you sure
yeah
yeah that'd be easier all right keys are
in my room
uh what are you doing the rest of the
day you haven't decided yet you well I
wanted to go sparkling but Pete can't
so instead we're going to this spot
where the planes land really close to
the beach uh Pete used to want to be a
pilot so there we go see you then
do you want to come
car and your day off too it could be fun
if you want
I am
a second and change
I can't believe you invited him it felt
like the right thing to do I'm surprised
he agreed to come
yeah well so much for a day off freaking
lags he hasn't even asked you for
anything yet
there's a schedule for when the flights
land next one's in a half hour oh okay
well we'll just burn until then
chill
I'm gonna go explore
thanks Mom
it'll be fine
you know
look at that water though
it's beautiful
you okay if I leave you for a bit
oh yeah no for sure you're good
great idea Pete let's go to the beach
did you get in the water yet
yeah nice warm
what are you looking for
a plane
gotta have enough time to run back to
Pete to grab my phone for photos
you've never seen this before no why
would I
well I figured you have a home here you
see all the highlights
I usually don't have time
sounds like you need to relax more
or are you the type that likes to relax
more at home well I have six homes
huh yeah it doesn't surprise me but
those are houses I mean like where is
home
where's home for you
well I live in a city now but when I
think of home I think of my parents
house it's where we grew up mostly
I know I can always go there to feel
safe
happy loved
are your parents around uh no illnesses
a few years apart
um I'm sorry I didn't know
it's in the book
I haven't finished it yet yeah excuses
excuses
you know your book's good and all that
but it's not really you
know how so well it's this proud
accomplished bragging version of you
gee thanks and you have every right to
be proud of what you've done it's
amazing it's just not you
yeah I think I should point out you've
only known me in a week it doesn't mean
I'm wrong there's more to you than the
billionaire
most people are fine with that title
alone
so
what more do you see
I think well
see a decent person
wow don't go too overboard with
compliments maybe you like to believe in
but you hide it likable I'm really
flattered don't block me pretty sure I'm
the one being mocked I'm being totally
serious I think that makes me feel worse
sorry it's fine
let's not be used to caring what other
people think of me oh no I'm not saying
I mean what I think doesn't matter
you've been telling me what you think
every day whether I want to hear it or
not why wouldn't your Infinity married
to me now are you saying it mattered to
you all the other times
yes
it's coming wow
amazing
did you get it off oh I got the whole
thing on camera yeah you have to send it
to Mom and Dad I'll get a kick out of it
yeah
Madison hi Annie I still have it my mom
says I'm wearing it out oh it looks a
little weathered but that's okay could
you make me another one uh honey Addison
is busy no it's it's okay I only know a
couple animals though because that's all
my brother here taught me you make
animals too I do
when we get back to some paper we'll
make you something special maybe you and
your mom can come by the house for
dinner tomorrow Addison and Pete can
have the origami for you then thank you
but we already have dinner plans
uh we were thinking of going snorkeling
in a couple days would you want to come
we could find a good spot off of one of
the small Islands I have a boat that
could take us
so do I
well this one's more for sport it's
easier to get around for snorkeling and
I read that Turtles hang out around
those islands
fine
I thought for sure she would say no
kind of feels like I am no no you're not
you're just you're just being a
peacemaker right like Dad always told
you that I mean mom would get in the
fight and you'd be the one to just
smooth it over maybe that's how I got
all my doctor's office people skills
yeah could be but you did set Katrina of
these he's right
you did great
thanks
you're gonna have to be careful with how
you bring up the business and this stuff
with you Bill yeah she's pretty guarded
already isn't she yeah keep it casual
how
I mean I know how to be casual but with
her
what would that look like relax just be
yourself I usually am yeah but that's Mr
billionaire determined to conquer the
world what about the guy who grew up
Gathering golf balls for extra money
wait what really
I regret telling you that already why
you don't move in these rich circles
nobody cares about a sob story
especially if you're from old money well
Katrina strikes me as someone who would
prefer an honest and down-to-earth
conversation why else would she have
invited me to a picnic at the beach the
other day I'm not telling her that story
then don't but be that person humble
instead of arrogant
hey
hey everything okay yeah yeah you need
to stay off that Lake
let me sit down then
so what's up
yes it's a little strange
what is no I just I've never seen Justin
ask for anybody's help like that well it
wasn't really help more like our opinion
see that's the problem because Justin
Ross doesn't care what anybody else
thinks maybe he's turning over a new
Leaf
there are no new leafs with him only
he's only got dead branches
sorry I'm trying to figure out how to
from that girl in high school that I had
a crush on Sadie
ah yes yeah right and I didn't want to
see it but she was awful yes and by the
time I figured it out I got my heart
just stomped on and you
I used all my Powers as a senior to make
her stop manipulating you and every
other good-hearted boy in your grade
right yeah so
thing is I feel like the situations are
reversed now what do you
Justin
yeah he's
yeah and still not the best person in
the world he's not the worst either
that's what I'm talking about that
I feel like you're saying more to him
there than there actually is there's
I'm not
sure
look I get it I'm the little brother
what do I know but I do feel like I'm
pretty observant for the most part and
that
what I'm seeing is
something between you guys
well I
I don't know about that
okay
okay maybe I'm wrong just um
just watch out
of course but there's nothing to worry
about
forward that to the on-call service just
so they're aware
what else
we gotta go
oh yeah we've had a lot of problems
I think I'm always broken so we can help
um
what is it gonna be late for my doctor's
appointment
uh hold on I'm sorry it's worked back
home it'll be just another minute I can
take him
are you sure you're in the middle of
something it's fine shouldn't I go with
you so you're not alone uh no no I can
handle it okay let's go then yeah I
don't know uh I'm still here uh yeah if
you could call Kyle about the vendor
payment list
stop that what
I can see you out of the core of my eye
oh sorry
so
finally getting the cast on
yeah yeah it's the uh it's the plan
I had to wait for the swelling to go
down before they could actually cast it
so oh
how
did it happen
oh it was it was an accident
no I mean I was I mean I was on my
scooter and
a bike Courier pulled out in front of me
and we just ran into each other and my
I like got the worst of it so
yeah
you got into an accident
on your scooter
with a bike Courier
yeah
it's not uncommon I'm sure it's not
crazy City yeah
laughs
oh man oh
we're back looks good yeah it's already
itching
what did the doctor say I don't usual
stuff don't get a wet stay off of it and
that kind of thing
thank you for taking him you're welcome
uh shall we eat any help it's all ready
I'll go grab the rest
oh
maybe they're running late
or we've been stood up
yeah I'm sorry I doubt it's because of
you well let's just give it a few more
minutes
go make sure the boat's ready
we're still going I mean even if they
don't show up
I mean we're here as well
one yeah
so I have a question
what is so special about Katrina's
company I mean enough that you'd have to
go through all this
well what her company has paired with
what my company does could make a lot of
leaves in battery power performance in
life
and putting that into just about every
device we use
has a lot of financial potential
and if it doesn't work what then
I move on there are other options just
not as good
someone is going to figure out what she
has though and go after it giving me
more competition I wish I could leave it
alone but
it's out of my hands
is it you're the owner and CEO you make
the decisions my fortune is tied to
wowing everyone and you can't wow anyone
without beating expectations
sounds exhausting you want to switch
jobs no thanks office manager right
how's that it's fine much simpler than
your job
I feel like you could do more
I mean you're very capable with your
skills you could be anything you want
I'm fine with who I am Addison Burke
office manager
Burke what I do doesn't mean that's all
there is to me
so who are you beyond the office manager
organizational Guru Pete makes fun of me
for that one
um oh a fan of crafts and Nature
Documentaries okay
and a good friend at least I hope I can
say that
you can
sorry we're a bit late Katrina hi glad
you came hey Addison can we go
snorkeling now
let's get on the boat first
foreign
foreign
go ahead and grab your camera I'll watch
her thank you
thank you yeah
you guys hungry you got food drinks no
I'm just here to grab my camera
it might be kind of tough to get her out
of the water
I think you're right
could we um
can we talk for a moment
I'm glad you came
Annie insisted
to be honest I was perfectly fine to not
show up
I understand
well there's no use of me beating around
the bush so
I did not handle that last deal well
I treated it just as business with that
company being some prized with even if
it meant going back on some promises I
made
I see now that I was callous
especially after the deal was done and I
didn't need to be
thank you for saying as much
so what do you want now
you're not one to pass up an opportunity
you want something okay
I want to acquire your company I think
it would be a great addition to mine I
could see the headlines now Katrina
Sawyer sinks another ship for Justin or
Austin pelfer now look I'm only telling
you what I'm thinking why my company
your new battery patents and technology
and some other parts make sense as well
but mainly the battery division
is that all what about you what do you
want
you don't care what I want I'm trying to
it's new for me I'll admit
I want to turn it around to build it up
and not cut it into little pieces okay
go on
Katrina said she'd look over the
proposals proposals more than one I'll
include some ideas she had which won't
work but it's okay the important thing
is
we're talking that's because of you oh I
don't think I had much to do with it you
know what I mean with the way you
befriended her
and me
you create a bridge so
thank you you're welcome
you know it was just as much because you
were being more yourself down to earth
humble instead of arrogant yeah the guy
who grew up like millions of other
people and worked hard for where he is
now
you prefer him
it's easy to like that guy
I'm gonna go check in with Pete see if
see if I miss anything that needs
attention okay
the sales spp thinks these members are
actually on the low end what the battery
could do good nothing like under
promising and over delivering
hey Pete
does Addison like horses
I mean
I guess like
start horses yeah is she okay with them
like like riding them I mean yeah I mean
she went to an equestrian Camp one
summer growing up so
yeah
okay good
tell sales this is good but keep it
under wrap still
okay
why is Justin asking me if you like
horses I have no idea really are you
sure because the whole time that I've
worked for him and nothing has been as
bizarre as what I've seen since we've
been here well I don't know what to tell
you maybe he's just being nice see
that's that's the problem because Justin
doesn't do nice and
and it's gonna kill me to ask you this
but
it's flirting with you I know
you still know what flirting looks like
yes
but you don't have to admit he is acting
strange right and don't try to explain
it away or deny it
okay
Maybe
okay then
does he date a lot I mean do you
send flowers to women on his behalf
okay oh you are interested in him it was
just a question no you don't ask a
question about someone's dating life
unless you are also interested
possibly seeing that right
oh it's not the money is it no of course
not
but and I'm not saying that I am
interested okay but what if what if he
is just like anybody else
trying to get by but under the scrutiny
of everyone watching and critiquing
what if him being difficult is the
effect not the cause
or he's a jerk and he's gonna trample
over you just like he tramples over
everybody else he's not a jerk I think
he's lonely though foreign
well think about it all that money and
Influence People assuming a lot about
you
it's isolating oh you know what my heart
just believes for him but
that's not your problem
you're not going to listen to a word I'm
saying are you of course I'm listening
but it'll be fine okay
okay
how's the leg today oh it's fine thanks
you have to wear the Casper along
um no I said six to eight weeks so I'm
I'm hoping for six
oh did you see the email from Katrina
she said she wanted me tomorrow that's
great I can confirm that if you want
well I'll do it
oh okay
good morning hi
so uh there's this uh spot here for uh
horseback riding they take you on a path
and through the water too
would you like to go
yeah that'd be fun
I got a trunk stuck on my throat sorry
what do you think this is pretty awesome
I bet everything you do is pretty
amazing wherever you go but how do you
find one that stands out when they're
all so special you think the activity is
what's amazing
isn't it
no
so was there ever a time you were
impressed easily too
long time ago
what impressed you back then uh
flying first class really yeah why
well all these business types were
around me bored and used to it all
service the extra room
and that was almost giddy
I felt like they knew I didn't belong
and now you fly in your own jet oh how
things change right
being impressed isn't bad
sign you still remember the simpler
things
I appreciate what's changed I don't run
in the Social Circles that show any
appreciation well that's too bad it'd
probably be refreshing it is
it's one of the things I like about you
you're not like everyone else you came
here to help your brother and you
haven't tried to butter me up once well
how do you know trust me I've been
around enough people who put on a fake
smile to try to get something out of me
the thing is
you're different
and it's making me
be different
thank you I like that a lot
I'm glad you enjoyed the horses
not just
justices
you see the text from a mom and dad
thanks for coming with
um yeah she wants us to spend Christmas
in a in a tiny cabin
kind of hard to get excited about after
all this yeah I'm just gonna tell her
that though not it oh come on
what have you been doing I just working
on the Katrina thing
how do you think that'll all play out
Justin will keep working on it now that
she's talking he'll get his way
oh she still doesn't want to sell yeah
well who convince her it's it's what he
does
I thought she had some ideas he was
considering yeah it's just it's what he
says
dad says he wants to go on a cruise
instead
I need your peacemaking skills
research breakdown of costs Province got
it she's gonna be here in about 20
minutes
yep plenty of time do you want me to sit
in no let's keep it as casual as
possible okay she has a connection to
Addison though is she
coming coming
are you nervous about what the meeting
yeah it's important to you it'll be all
right I just have to convince her to see
reality what if you two don't agree
probably won't at first but she'll come
around
I've looked over what you sent me
intriguing but a bit outside the scope
of what we talked about
it's all simple scenarios at this point
but it would be a mistake to dismiss any
I've looked at the financials and the
return for your investors is very
favorable with what I'm proposing
longer term picture before and I don't
want to do that again the long-term
picture is your company's debt is
projected to grow while your Revenue
shrinks at an unforgiving rate
you have to stop the bleeding even so
let's start with talking about the
scenario I'm more interested in
since it would be a mistake to dismiss
anything
of course
I know I'm not the expert here but that
meeting seemed a little rough
it's fine
it's how it goes sometimes I think she
felt like you weren't listening to her
I listen fine but she's wrong her
Solutions aren't going to dig around the
hole
she started listening to you when you're
reading more yourself not the
billionaire business Empire persona if
you want her like you said you're not an
expert
I'm sorry that was
it'll be fine it was hardly a new
territory for me okay
Justin
I'm sorry
a story just broke about you and Katrina
what
sources allude to a proposed merger but
analysts suspect it will fail Sawyer
confirms she will not encourage a sale
of the company and instead stays she
will consider new offers from potential
Partners to collaborationize
revolutionary Battery Technology how did
this get out I have no idea it could
have been heard people who leaked it or
ours but
she did make a statement this is her
slamming the door in my face
what are we gonna do call my pilot have
a jet rate in an hour
Ms ready and waiting I know Hank is also
making calls fine I don't understand why
this story is a bad thing don't worry
about it
Katrina made her position pretty clear
she doesn't want to sell I know
told the whole world about it so why not
seriously consider something she does
want something she wants look I
appreciate that you're trying to help
but you don't know what you're talking
about
what I Addison can we get a drink
you want some orange juice
the story will blow over but the real
damage is the competition any advantage
we had is now gone there are very few
that can seriously though but what does
it matter if she doesn't want to do
business with us I was so close too you
still can be
I want to flex some muscle a bit okay
keep the other companies away warn them
off you know that might create more
waves more like dangle a carrot to keep
them out of the picture it'll leave her
no choice but to come back to us
you really think that'll work
you hardly heard out her Alternatives if
she thinks you aren't listening it's no
wonder this is coming out now this is my
business not yours I'm running a
multi-billion dollar Corporation you run
a little doctor's office besides you're
only tagging a lot for Skippy over here
so don't pretend you know what you're
talking about when you don't have any
skin in the game
foreign
we'll get on it right away but I think
you should be on the island while she's
there to try to salvage it once we have
a strategy in place
no interviews no talk to PR tell them to
downplay this hey yeah are you okay
where's everyone come up with
it's not personal
what he said he didn't mean it he just
gets so you know gets caught up on the
business end of things and that instinct
to win and succeed it just kind of
takes over
I never thought I'd hear you make
excuses for him
I'm not making excuses I just no you can
talk I don't want you to be upset
because of something he said
you said it yourself because he's not
worth it right okay you've been telling
me that for how many months now come on
how the tables have turned no I just
this is what I was afraid of okay
thousand people like him they don't
the Kim don't change
okay he he might act nice for a little
bit but it's
it doesn't really mean anything yeah
all right make some calls of the board
make sure that you let them know
I guess not
no I think that's what's bothering me
the most
I thought he had changed
I guess I was wrong
maybe I should have stayed I mean you've
got things under control now
we're not really needed yes you are for
my insanity
look either the deal's gonna go through
or not we're almost done and we're gonna
be back home
back to normal life
all right yeah
no I don't like any of our other options
Katrina's company has
yes exactly
what yeah yeah still here look start
reaching out to the board
you
finished it
uh yeah
may I
so
I've been doing some thinking and
I was out of line with you the other day
I'm sorry
I should not have snapped at you and
made you feel
unappreciated
it's fine
but thank you
look
my world is Harsh and has certain
realities and bottom lines that I can't
ignore
I have a responsibility to do what I
think is best
I know
it's a lot for someone to take in and
understand and
I just don't want you to see it the
wrong way
okay
so
are we okay
see you say that but
I get the feeling you don't mean it the
way that I do
it's like you said there's certain
realities in your world
just because I don't understand them
doesn't mean they have to accept them
I'm going to town for some groceries
anything you need while I'm there
no
um
whatever you think is fine
and then
Annie
stay here with Jane and pick something
up for Grandma okay anything
within reason
I'll be right back
Katrina hi Addison
how are things oh you know
well you can probably guess
I've heard Justin doesn't like it when
he doesn't get his way he'll just have
to deal with it
how much longer you staying I don't know
hopefully not long I've got to get back
to my real life I'm sorry things didn't
work out you gotta do what's best for
you I admire that
I'm not talking about business I mean
between you and Justin
me too
I hope you run into each other again
maybe back in the city like that
I ordered dinner I'll be here in an hour
okay thanks
what are you doing out here anyway
just getting some vitamin D
you need anything else uh no I'm good
thanks
hey Allison yeah
I think I prefer to when you hated him
um it's all right
it's silly all this
what does it matter
you have feelings for him
he cares about you too
I know that seems pretty important
maybe your friendship with Katrina's put
you in an awkward position no that's not
that
what is it
it's not who I
thought or
hoped he was
you were right before
it was just in two different worlds
you could always go home
what about you
you're already on that leg more than you
should be no I I can't handle it I
promise
I'll think about it
thank you
hey
there's more in the kitchen if you want
okay thanks
enjoy
mind if I uh join you
women am I right
can you say that
you can if she can't hear me
you don't have to pretend your loyalty
is to me
I'm I'm not
can I be to both of you
you're only saying that because you want
to move to project management someday
I remember
don't worry
job and aspirations are safe
I can just forget about this whole trip
yeah yeah sure if that's what you want
then
so look I'm just saying what I want is
for business to go onward and upward
it's okay to want something different
because as I do
emotions Cloud business judgment I think
there was a point in your book
so
so I so I get the logic for wanting to
keep the heart and business separate I
do
business doesn't have to be heartless
and you don't have to ignore what you
feel to reach some estimated earnings
projections
eat your food oh crap
thank you
what's up
did you really mean it when you said you
could handle things here on your own if
I went home
yeah yeah for sure um
said
is that what you want
are you sure it won't hurt things with
your job
oh no I'm sure it'll be fine
I mean I'm not saying that Justin's
gonna be like
happy about it but yeah don't tell him
I'm leaving
with everything going on it it'll be
better for everyone this way
you really think so
there's a flight leaving in a few hours
call Jacob
thanks for being me here
Annie wants to go to a bird sanctuary so
I'll get right to it Mom where's the
bathroom I'll take her
so I assume it was you who leads that we
were talking no
I had Jane do it
ah nice
I wanted you to take my deal
it's better for me and in some ways
easier for you
I'm not one to take the easy way yeah I
got that and respect it
so what do you want most for your
company
I want my company to succeed
I want the people who work there to be
proud of what they do instead of feeling
nervous that they'll be out of a job
I wasn't exaggerating when I said your
head for disaster you can't do it on
your own
but what if you got help
I don't want to bail out especially not
from you I'm not known for my charity no
consider it more of a strategic
partnership
how could that work
you have a pen
listen
Pete
we have a deal with Katrina oh that's
great how
Where's Addison
she's gone
what she felt it was time to get back to
her life
you should have told me she was leaving
look one of you was going to be unhappy
whether I did or not and you don't know
I had a student you can get pretty scary
when she's upset yeah I can see that
she feels I'm not listening to her that
I don't care about what she thinks
I mean do you of course
you always say that business comes first
regardless of what people feel but
mcadison
feelings matter people matter I know
I spend my whole career doing whatever
it takes for my business to succeed
I never cared enough about the people
involved or how it might affect them
and now you do
you see you've had Addison was right
well I mean what about the bottom line
because the reality of the situation is
that it's probably gonna cost you
so if it came down to it
are you willing to let a multi-billion
dollar deal fall apart for a girl
for the right girl
seriously why wouldn't I if there's one
thing that Addison showed me it's that
there is more to life than money and in
this case the deal only happened because
I finally started listening to her and
started caring about more than just
business
are you saying Addison's that girl
all right that is what you're saying
okay
I just need to figure out how to
convince her that I can be the guy that
she thought I was
Could you teach me something
Trina
foreign
do you like them
sorry A P gave me the spare key
I thought you were supposed to be in St
Martin how how did you private flights
are faster than commercial
right
is it okay that I'm here
yeah uh I heard about your deal with
Katrina you did
she seemed pleased I'm glad
yeah we talked and figured out a way to
work together basically uh license or
Battery Technology exclusively for a few
years and then we'll collaborate on the
Next Generation too turns out to be a
win for both of us
great I wanted to tell you all about it
but
you'd already left
and that felt worse than any deal
falling through I
react don't be
I understand why you left
you didn't think that you mattered to me
or that I changed
but you do matter
and I have changed or at least I'm
trying although I'm sure no matter how
hard I try I'll still make mistakes
well that's understandable you know
there's only one person in my life who
isn't afraid to call me out and tell me
what I need to hear even if I don't like
it
that's you
I I need you you tell him
so
you think you could put up with a
imperfect but semi-charming guy
semi-charming I have to give you some
reason for you to like me
there's actually a lot of good about you
yeah
yeah
you're kind
when you want to be
and so intelligent
I'm driven
what you've done from Gathering the
first golf ball as a kid and until now
it's amazing
and you're thoughtful
wait are those origami flowers yeah do
you like them did Pete make them I did
you taught me on the flight here
see
thoughtful
I love them more than any of the others
good they're worth all the paper cuts
then
so give me a chance then
I'll think about it
thank you
thank you
