Oh!

- Ms. O'Brien, this is the California

Water and Power Company.

We called multiple times to remind you

- that you are months behind-- - Thank you for contacting

Lucky Clover Cosmetics.

Rosie Ann cannot take your call right now.

Please leave a message after the tone.

- Beep. - Everyone has to pay their--

Sorry I'm late. Sorry.

I'm just glad you're here.

- Well, if you must know, I got stuck printing menus

for Mr. Liu's restaurant, and the printer jammed,

and it was a whole thing.

But check it out, though-- 50% off dumplings.

- Oh, do you think the water company will accept

dumpling vouchers in lieu of payment?

- [scoffs] If they were that awesome, they would.

Besides, you won't have to worry

about little things like utility bills

once you get that investment.

The meeting's today, right?

- Ugh, if they invest in Lucky Clover, in me.

There's no guarantee.

- Of course they'll invest. You're spectacular.

Yeah, a spectacular disaster.

I have faith in you.

- You just wanna be able to quit your job

at Auntie's print shop. Mm?

- I want to be able to take my place

alongside my bestie as the mastermind

behind Pasadena's hottest new makeup company in--

no, the world's hottest new makeup company.

All right, if I could quit my day job,

that would be awesome,

despite losing 50% off dumplings for life?

No one can do what you do.

So what's his name?

Arthur.

I met him on an app.

Can you believe it? At my age?

- Everybody deserves a bit of luck in love.

I don't know.

Did I tell you that I saw Matthew

and his new girlfriend on Facebook?

She's only a few years older than Annie.

- Don't you spend another second thinking about your ex.

Maybe I should cancel.

- Mm-mm. - I should cancel tonight.

Absolutely not.

- [sighs] I haven't been on a date in 20 years.

What was I thinking?

- That you're a super-hot woman whose boneheaded ex-husband

left because he's clearly having

- some sort of midlife crisis. - And...

that the best years of your life are ahead of you.

Lucky Clover is about more than just makeup.

It's about heart.

Makeup isn't just about looking good,

it is about how it makes you feel.

When you wear a glossy rose lipstick

with a jasmine wax base, it can give you

that little extra pep in your meeting with your boss.

Or a creamy, satin champagne eye shadow

can effortlessly transport you from a hectic day

in the office to your special date.

Lucky Clover is about confidence, about self-belief.

Our products enable people to go out into the world

and be their best selves, to achieve their dreams.

How?

By using only organically grown and locally sourced ingredients

and by using generations of family knowledge

to mix things in just the right way

to create something completely unique.

But I'm a small company.

And this...this is a big world.

I need your investment to help me get to that next level,

to share the joy of Lucky Clover with more people,

to get into the shelves of department stores like Belles.

If you are willing to invest, I can assure you,

I am confident we will be richly rewarded.

And you will not just be supporting me.

You will be supporting every person who uses my products.

You will be uplifting a community.

- And, uh, what are your fiscal projections

for the first three quarters?

Projections?

- Mm-hmm.

- Um--

I'm sold.

How can anyone turn down a pitch like that?

Please, join me in my office.

Yeah, pack it up. Let's go.

- It's happening. - [breathless laugh]

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Mr. Verner, I am so excited.

And I have so many ideas. I will not let you down.

for bringing us on.

That article in the newspaper piqued my interest,

and I am delighted that you decided to meet with us.

We want to do nothing but help you succeed.

That's what we do here.

We invest in the future.

[laughs]

However, I do have a few caveats.

Ultimately, this is a business.

So we need to make sure that you've got what it takes

to really scale the brand.

Okay. Sure.

I'll do whatever you--

- Um, I've arranged a pitch with Beatrice Harrington,

the owner of Belles.

[laughs] Yeah.

She's an old friend, and someone you, yourself,

have expressed interest in.

She's coming into town for the Style Cosmetic Expo

in a few weeks, and she has agreed

to allow us to pitch her your brand.

- [giddy laugh] - If you can convince her

to place Lucky Clover products in her stores,

the investment is yours.

You don't seem thrilled.

- No, I am. I am so excited.

Um...

Oh, it's just-- [sighs]

- You were banking on the money?

Yeah, just to tide us over.

- Well, here's my second caveat.

While you undoubtedly have passion,

and I am told that your products are top notch,

I think you could use some help on the business side of things.

[knock at door] Yes?

You wanted to see me, sir?

Simon, meet Rosie Ann.

Yeah, we've met.

Perfect.

I was just explaining to Rosie Ann here

how we would be happy to provide a portion

of the investment, just to smooth things over

while you prepare for your pitch with Ms. Harrington.

Simon here will be staying in

- your studio while you prepare. - What?

- Just to get a front row seat of the business,

maybe even offer some help, and to make sure that

you're fully prepped for the meeting with Harrington.

- Sound good? - Mm-hmm.

All right.

I-I don't even understand your interest.

- I have daughters. I have a wife.

I see how much money they spend.

Cosmetics is a booming industry,

and I want in.

This could be a huge asset to our portfolio.

And that is why I'm sending you.

I trust your instincts.

Sir, with all due respect,

I don't know anything about makeup.

Verner really likes Lucky Clover,

and he wants to invest, but there is a catch--

well, two catches actually.

- What, they like your branding and artwork so much

that they wanna hire me and leave you in the dust?

Not quite.

I have to prepare a pitch for Beatrice Harrington.

- Okay, fine. You'll nail that. Next?

- Okay, so Verner wants to get to know the company better,

which is fair enough.

So he is sending in one of his top executives

to observe me-- well, the company.

And I am telling you, Sara, this guy is, like,

I think the biggest jerk I've ever met.

He is rude, he is condescending, and he's--

Not this bird.

- Well, it's a good thing it's no longer your company.

What?

- That meeting could not have gone better.

She loved the product.

She wants to buy and distribute it,

and we get to launch it

at the country's largest cosmetic expo tomorrow.

I refuse to let that happen.

My company is based off of natural ingredients.

It's based off of love and care and people.

This is--I don't want your investment

if this is what you're gonna do.

Well, Rosie Ann,

I'm afraid you no longer have a say in the matter.

What is he talking about?

- This is the contract you signed.

Unbelievably, you don't appear to have read it.

Because if you had, you would know that you've signed away

all rights of refusal and, um, oh, yes,

the controlling portion of your shares.

Lucky Clover is, in essence, our company now.

Isn't that right, Simon?

- Look, Rosie Ann, this isn't as bad as it sounds, okay?

We can work something out.

Listen to Simon.

This has the potential to make you a very rich woman.

You're a wonderful ambassador.

We would love to keep you on as figurehead of the company,

a salaried role alongside your shares.

Plus, you're still free to be creative,

within certain parameters, of course.

First order of duty is the presentation

at the expo tomorrow.

♪ ♪

I want no part of this.

- Rosie Ann, you need to understand something.

Whether or not you come tomorrow is irrelevant.

The launch is happening tomorrow regardless.

This is our company.

We would like very much to keep you on as ambassador,

leading the presentation.

But if you choose not to, we will just find someone else

and buy out the rest of your shares.

These are my creations.

This is my life.

These are our creations now.

And thanks to Simon, we have detailed notes

of every formula you've made.

The presentation is tomorrow at noon.

It's up to you.

Rosie Ann,

this is what you've always wanted.

Your products everywhere, a global brand.

- You haven't heard a thing that I've said.

Don't worry, Simon.

You've made the right choice.

Partner.

- Okay. We're not gonna give up.

Here, drink some of that.

Look, there's gotta be a way

that we can figure this out, all right?

Murray. Murray's back from Ireland.

Maybe we should give him a call.

- I can't believe I was so stupid.

You're not stupid, okay?

You're trusting. It's not a fault.

I should have given you better advice.

[phone ringing]

What are you gonna do?

- I feel like I don't have a choice.

I either what, go with them, take their money,

and lose everything,

or fight them and still lose everything?

- I can't wait to hear about the pitch.

I have some exciting news.

Oh, Rosie Ann, what's happened?

They tricked her.

The contract Simon gave her, well, she--

she lost control of the company.

What?

- They want me to stay on as ambassador.

Can you believe that?

Sara, I'm so sorry.

I think the Lucky Clover we know is done.

I really am cursed.

- You're not cursed. It's just a story.

Tell that to my life.

You listen to me, young lady.

You are a lucky charm to everyone around you,

but not because of some story.

You're a good person with a good heart.

What about the curse?

Rosie Ann,

you need to stop hiding behind this curse thing.

Sure you've had some bad luck, but we all have.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't try again.

Sara's right.

Everyone deserves luck in love, Rosie Ann, including you.

You're my daughter and her granddaughter, okay?

We believe in you.

What if I can't?

I can't even help you keep your café open.

- Got some good news on that front.

What?

- Well, Simon popped in yesterday,

said he spoke to his friends down in city hall.

It turns out this place can be classed as a heritage site.

So what does that mean?

- Well, it means they can't tear it down,

regardless if they buy up the building.

- You get to keep your café open?

- And there's nothing they can do about it.

And Simon did this?

Yep.

Turns out you're a good influence.

Maybe not enough.

Hey, Mei.

So about me quitting, uh, I didn't mean it.

I just--I went kind of crazy, you know,

because I didn't wanna be stuck here like you.

We can't do this.

- Just because you have a fancy new title

doesn't mean you don't knock.

- What we're doing to Rosie Ann and Lucky Clover

is not right.

- There is no right or wrong here, Simon.

This is simply business.

- But even from that perspective,

it doesn't make sense.

Our whole pitch to Harrington was that

it was Rosie Ann's idea, her unique take on it.

Without her, there's no future in the business.

But there is profit.

We control the company.

And there's enough leverage and goodwill

to make this modest startup into a global brand.

The customers buy into the idea

that everything is unique and handmade.

They don't need to know the fussy details.

They're not customers.

They're friends.

- Man, that girl really did a number on you.

I don't have time to discuss this.

Go back to work.

- You know I haven't seen my mother in two years?

- [sighs] What?

- Two years, I haven't seen my mother.

I've been too scared to take a day off,

to take a vacation, because all I wanted to do

was prove to you how good of a work ethic I have.

- You're a partner, aren't you? - Yeah.

- Yes. - I am.

You know what, Verner?

You have taught me something.

When this whole thing started,

you wanted me to look over Rosie Ann.

You said I needed to get out from behind my computer,

go meet people face to face, look them in the eyes

and make gut judgments, just like you did

when you started out, right?

Well, I see you, Verner.

I see a frustrated and lonely man

who's spent all of his time chasing profits.

But he's forgot the purpose of 'em.

You've enriched your life in all the wrong ways,

and now you're withering on the vine,

and I'm not gonna wither away with you.

This is over, Verner.

I quit.

Rosie Ann!

Please, if you're in there, I-- I wanna talk to you.

Look, you were right.

I did know about the contract, and I could have told you.

I didn't. I thought we would work it out.

And I never thought that Verner would take it this far.

Rosie Ann, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, but--

Look, for what it's worth, I quit.

If you just give me some more time,

I think I know a way we can fix this.

Okay.
