Original subtitles

I'm Annie Brown.

I always thought I was straight.

Until I met her.

No wonder.

Stiletto is the hottest fashion company ever. They only make high heels.

And they pay the best in the industry, too.

Is that Vesper Blake?

The CEO of Stiletto, the queen of fashion?

She's from a world I'll never belong to.

Hi, I'm Annie Brown. I'm here for an interview.

Reception room's that way.

You're late A

little short, but you've got your own

charm

I'm here for the interview.

Take off your shoes. Put these on.

It's just an interview.

Why do I have to change my shoes?

Is this some stiletto thing?

Take your clothes off first.

Take your clothes off first.

What?

Why?

That's the rule for model auditions here.

You don't know?

I'm not auditioning to be a model. I'm here for the assistant position.

By the way, even if it's a model audition, why do they have to strip

naked?

The assistant interviews are at 10.

You came at the wrong time.

What? Stripping down tests their mental resilience.

Models are meant to be stared at. That's part of the job.

And we're all women here.

What's the harm?

No. She does have a point.

Guess I was overthinking it.

Since you're already here, your interview starts now.

Go tell the models outside.

None of them pass the audition.

I only take on one girl a day.

And today, that girl is you.

Is this part of my interview?

Finish this task, and you're hired.

Ms.

Blake, let me tell you...

None of you got the job.

What?

How could that happen?

Why are you the one telling us? I thought you were a candidate too. I'm

just delivering a message from CEO.

Who do you think you are speaking for the CEO?

Unless you got the job?

What could Miss Blake possibly see in you? That plain little face or that

completely forgettable body?

I knew it. You're Miss Blake's new toy.

But trust me, she'll get bored with you soon enough and throw you away.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Annie is my new assistant.

She spoke for me.

Anyone has a problem with that?

No one?

Then you're dismissed.

As my assistant, you'll learn to handle all kinds of situations.

This is just the beginning.

So, I got the job?

I think you did.

Thank you, Miss Blake.

Now, one more rule for you.

Every girl who works for me wears only high heels. No exceptions.

Makes sense, I guess. This is a company that makes only high heels, after all.

Uh, Miss Blake, you don't have to... Shh.

Let me help you.

Now that I look at her, she's really beautiful.

God, why am I trembling?

You're only allowed to wear these during work times.

Yes, Miss Blake.

My new assistant, Annie.

Show her around the company.

Right this way.

I thought Miss Blake would be cold and distant, but she's been really nice to

me. Is she always this nice to all new hires?

Only to the one she marked as prey.

What?

I told you to keep those shoes on during work hours.

But it's already off hours.

Did I say you could leave?

Eight tonight, to my office.

I work for you, but I don't belong to you.

You can't make me wear these beautiful torture vices all day.

Is that so?

Because I think you do belong to me, Annie Brown.

I knew it.

You're Miss Blake's new toy.

But trust me, she'll get bored with you soon enough and throw you away.

Only to the one she marked as prey.

Then I quit.

I'm not your toy. I won't be anyone's toy.

Interesting.

Jacob!

Get me everything on her in 30 minutes

Dr..

Matthew your mother's condition is critical you need to get to the hospital

now

Dr. Matthew, please save my mom, whatever it costs.

The problem is the ICU costs $5,000 a day. If you can't pay, we can't

guarantee to keep your mom alive.

Oh God,

what am I supposed to do? I just quit my job.

There's a quick way to make some money. You could try it.

You're the new girl, right?

Come with me.

Get her dressed. We've got a VIP coming in tonight.

Wait, I... Easy, girl.

First time doing this, huh?

Relax.

I'll make you look irresistible.

Perfect. You look yummy now.

Yummy? What do you mean? Come on.

We can't keep the guests waiting.

You know our club serves those clients with special tastes, right?

What? I don't... Oh

my god.

What's this place?

Shit!

It's her!

Wait, so Mrs. Blake likes women?

And she's into BDSM too?

Oh my god, I should have seen this coming.

You're new here?

Don't be scared.

I'll be gentle with first-timers.

In that moment, I should have turned and run.

But maybe it's the warmth of her hand, or the rare tenderness in her eyes.

I don't know.

Somehow, I willingly followed her lead, letting her take me into the unknown,

wherever it might lead.

What's your stop word?

What's your stop word?

Stiletto. Good.

What are you going to do with those?

You're not actually going to use them on me, are you?

Who else would I use them on?

Little bunny?

How do you feel?

I feel pain and thrill.

Good girl.

You're starting to understand what this is all about.

Why do you stop?

I can see you've started to love this.

Now, how do you like this?

At that moment, half of me wanted to escape from that room.

while the other half wanted her to never stop.

Stiletto!

Is this your first time?

Did I hurt you?

You ever let a man touch you like that?

No. No.

One has ever touched me like this before.

So you're a virgin.

Then that's very bold of you to come to a place like this.

There's something special about you.

I want to see your face.

Oh God, I can't let her know who I am.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

I have to go.

Will I see you again in here?

I hope not.

Hey! You just left our VIP guest alone in there!

I already did what I'm supposed to do.

Now where's my money?

You mistreated our guest and still have the nerve to ask for money?

You!

You already owe the hospital $10,000. Did you get the money?

Not yet.

You didn't go to the place I told you about?

I did, but... Never mind.

I can sell my apartment.

I'll get the money.

Look at you, crying now.

Weren't you all tough when you walked out of my office this afternoon?

How did you find me?

Tracking down an employee who quit after one day?

That's easy.

I also know that your mom is seriously ill and needs surgery.

What are you trying to say?

I'm buying your apartment.

Ten times the market value.

You can still live here, but tomorrow morning I want to see you back at work.

You've set feet into my shoes that made you mine.

I really appreciate your help, but that doesn't mean you can control me or own

me. You're already owned by me, even if you don't realize it.

Since I'm your landlord now, I'm keeping a key too.

See you at the office tomorrow.

Vesper?

The moment her fingers touched my skin, I knew it was her. I didn't

want to admit it, but whenever I felt her breath against me, whenever her

fingers traced my skin, I would lose myself, craving

more.

Submit to me.

I actually dreamt about me and Vesper.

Well, look at you.

Such a good girl today.

Thanks to the check you gave me, my mom was moved to a private care unit this

morning.

I'll work hard to pay you back.

No big deal.

Whatever makes you happy.

Boss.

Thanks, Mrs. Blake.

Boss, what happened to your face?

A gorgeous woman like you can't afford to have a scar.

It's nothing.

Just a little scratch.

It'll be gone in a couple days.

Is that a hickey?

No, you're seeing things.

Are you sure?

Let me see.

Excuse me.

Did you guys see

the injuries on CEO's face?

Yeah. Look like fingernail marks.

You girls have no idea.

I heard our CEO is into BDSM.

And those marks on her face?

Let's just say, just someone had a very interesting night with her.

No way. Our CEO?

She actually gets that wild?

Who is this guy with the death wish?

Oops!

Her injuries?

They look exactly like the ones on CEO's face.

Were you with the CEO last night?

Got time to chat in the break room? Looks like I haven't given you enough

work.

Um, sorry boss.

We'll get right back to work.

To my office.

Hey, Annie.

You're back.

Good call.

Thanks, Jacob.

Look at you. Totally different from when you first started. Seems you're fitting

right in. Done chatting yet?

I'm paying you to work, not flirt with your male colleagues.

She's jealous?

She has to be.

Hey, Jacob.

Want to grab a drink after work?

Sure. Sounds good.

I'll text you the address.

Come find me later.

Where is Jacob?

He suddenly got buried in work before he could leave.

Oh, right.

I gave him all that work.

So, unfortunately, he won't be making it tonight.

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

I think you've realized that you both work for me.

So we both belong to you, is that what you're trying to say?

Some people really need to get their possessive under control.

Excuse me.

Are you here alone?

Mind if I join you?

Of course not, beautiful lady.

Don't serve that table.

But they're customers, too.

I'm renting out the whole place tonight. No need to kick anyone out.

Just don't serve that table.

No problem, madam.

Excuse me. We'd like to order.

I'm sorry, you can't.

Why not?

That lady just rented out the entire restaurant.

All right.

Then we can head directly to my place.

Do you want water? I can get you some.

You're the one dragging me home, so what's going on now?

I just don't like to rush into things. Why don't we take it slow?

Didn't look like you wanted to take it slow at the restaurant.

Be honest.

You did all this because of that woman, didn't you?

Are you in love with her?

Am I in love with her?

Oh my God.

How could I fall for a woman?

And my boss, of all people?

But what if he's right?

Holy shit.

What the hell is she doing here? How did you get in?

I own this apartment.

I can come and go as I please.

You're both insane.

You crazy women can stay away from me.

I want nothing to do with either of you.

That question he just asked?

I want to know the answer too.

Answer the question.

No.

First you sabotaged my date, then you broke into my apartment, and now you

want me to answer some ridiculous question from a random guy?

Why should I play along?

A random guy, huh?

Then why brought him home?

Obviously to make you jealous.

I can bring any man home if I like. It has nothing to do with you.

I won't tolerate my girl getting close to someone else, especially to a man.

You belong only to me.

Let me go! You control freak!

I know you like women, right?

Come on.

You can take me now.

I won't force any girl to accept me. I only take those who have submitted to

me. You haven't submitted yet.

When I said you can take me, I really mean it.

I've already submitted to you.

Long ago.

That night, I went back to the club.

Somehow... Only behind that mask could I feel free enough to let my truest self

out.

It's you again.

Come.

Does it still hurt?

You?

I'm fine.

Almost forgot I was ever hurt there.

You're not a newbie anymore.

I won't go easy on you this time.

Whip, collar, spikes, ball gag.

God, what is she going to use on me this time?

You are my pet now.

I prefer that you call me master.

Oh, God.

Why did it have to land there?

My pet sure knows how to get her master into trouble.

Sorry, master.

Saying sorry isn't enough. You need to make it up to me.

Now get it out with your mouth.

With your mouth.

Fine. I guess you can use your hand now.

My hand?

Yeah, that's not much better.

Her skin is so soft and warm.

My pet made a mistake.

Now... Your owner has to punish you.

What is she going to do now?

I already apologized.

I even got the match out.

Put your hands up above your head.

What are you going to do to me?

It's a low temperature candle.

Completely safe, but still.

Remember your safe word.

If it's too much for you, just say it.

Does it hurt?

Only for a second?

All right, let's keep going.

It burns on my skin.

You want me to stop?

No.

You're tougher than I thought.

I'm not there.

It's too sensitive.

Say the word.

If you need me to stop.

Just like always, I knew she wanted me to submit to her.

The wax stung against my skin, but somehow I didn't want it to stop.

Such a stubborn little bunny.

You never did use your safe work, but that's enough for tonight.

She's been keeping my picture.

Is it possible that she really had feelings for me?

That woman, how can she be a devil with me, yet a goddess at work?

What are you waiting for?

Aren't you going to pass me my coffee?

What's with your chest? Why is it all red?

Oh, just a bit of an allergy.

I've decided to submit to you, body and mind.

Are you sure?

Good.

Then put this on.

Seriously?

Damn it.

She's really into dominating.

I shouldn't have volunteered to submit.

What? You said you're ready to submit to me.

Can't handle one little request?

Fine. I'll do it.

All set?

Mm-hmm.

Good. Let's go. The meeting's about to start.

All right, let's get started.

CFO, you're up first.

You okay?

Is the AC too cold? Want me to turn it up?

I'm fine.

Want me to turn it up?

Fine.

Shit, did I just make a sound?

Vesper, you jerk.

What's wrong, Annie Brown? Not feeling well?

I'm fine, Miss Blake.

Sorry. Please continue.

Oh God, how am I supposed to

handle this? If she keeps going like this, I'm about to lose it.

Next, legal director.

If you can't take it anymore, just beg me to stop.

I won't beg you.

Sorry, I need to use the restroom.

What are you doing here?

Did you just come in there?

You do that to me again and I'll get you.

What happened to my toy? You threw it away?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, what a shame. That was my favorite.

I just embarrassed myself in front of everyone and you only care about your

sex toy.

I'm sorry for the embarrassment.

To make it up to you, you get one wish.

I'll do my best to make it happen.

I never thought the proud commanding Miss CEO would actually apologize.

Actually, there is a place that I always want to go, but it's in the next city

over.

I'll get you a car.

It's a full day's trip there and back.

Then take the day off.

They turned this place into a hotel?

Stop. You can't go in there.

Why? This used to be my family's home. I just want to see where I grew up.

Does this place look like something you could afford? And you grew up here?

Why not just say the whole coastline belongs to you?

I'm telling the truth.

My family's old house was right here. It's just been torn down. Cut the crap.

This is a high end hotel by reservation only.

Whether you can afford it or not, you're not getting in without a reservation.

I just want to take a look.

Get lost, you broke nobody!

Stupid guard dog.

How dare you lay a hand on my girl?

And you are?

Madam!

I thought you were at work. What are you doing here, and what's with all these

people? Didn't feel right letting you come alone.

Looks like I was right to follow.

What happened here?

You're the manager?

How much does this hotel make in a day? Ten times that.

Charge it. I'm taking the whole place today.

Ten times that.

Charge it. I'm taking the whole place today.

What are you waiting for?

Clear the place.

This is it. This used to be my family's balcony.

I loved leaning over the railing and watching the ocean when I was little.

My mom would sit right beside me and knit.

Then she got sick.

We spent all our money on her treatment.

Whenever you want to see the ocean, just tell me. I'll be right there.

That little gesture was pretty badass.

Practice. I usually use it to shut people up in board meetings.

We've prepared our hidden suite for you tonight, only available to select VIP

guests. I hope you two enjoy it.

This looks exactly like the Lace Club.

You've been to the Lace Club?

Is there any secret you've been hiding from me?

Yeah, I'm the bunny girl.

Oh, that's interesting.

The first time I went to the club, it was completely by accident. I didn't

even know what BDSM was.

Then I walked through that door, and there you were.

But the second time, I went there on purpose.

Why? To see you again?

To submit to you?

What's your stop word?

Stiletto. I want to see your face.

So it was you all along, little bunny.

I found this in your coat.

You kept it all this time.

Why? At first, I thought I was just a toy to you. I mean, you're a gorgeous

CEO in a fashion powerhouse. You could have anyone you want. I never saw you as

a toy.

Even if you're pretty average-looking, your education and family background

aren't very impressive.

Hey! Watch it!

But you're different from everyone else.

I just like you.

I can't believe the hotel put us in a place like this.

Since we're here, we might as well make the most of it.

You're serious?

What is that?

You can't tell?

Of course I can.

I mean, what are you going to do with it? Definitely not inside me. It's too

big.

Trust me, you can take this.

You've explored less than 1% of what your body can do.

I'd be happy to show you the rest.

Relax. See?

You can handle it.

Looks like your body likes it.

You're getting pretty wet.

It's not the toy I like. It's you.

Don't hide.

Look at me. The way you look right now makes me want you so badly.

I think it's time I join in.

I'm taking the big end.

I'm taking the big end.

Getting bold, huh?

Fine. Come here.

I knew there was something going on between you and Vesper.

Rachel, what are you doing in my office?

Rachel, what are you doing in my office?

Business, obviously.

I got the invitation.

For next month's Stiletto launch, so my team and I are walking the show again,

right?

Relax, we go way back.

I'll make sure you're happy.

They're that close?

When did Vesper send the invitation?

How did I not know about it?

No problem Annie's handling the show just coordinate with her Her a rookie.

What does she know about fashion? Does she even know how to run a show and

you're really trusting her with something this important?

I Have complete confidence in Annie she trusts me that much and she didn't

hesitate to say it in front of her old partner Well, here's to a pleasant

partnership

Better make a good impression wouldn't want to disappoint your girlfriend

When

did you send the invitation?

I'm your assistant everything comes through me. How did I never see it?

Marketing sent it.

It's a routine invitation We've used her team for every stiletto show before oh

They're that good

What are you jealous?

No, it's your company. Who am I to interfere with your business?

Admit it.

You're jealous.

I am not.

Okay. Okay.

You gave me such an important job. I need to learn the whole launch process.

I can't embarrass you.

This runway is too short, the backdrop is too dark, and the lighting, the color

temperature is all wrong.

Redo everything.

But the design department approved this plan.

And you, Miss Assistant, what can you do besides passing along messages?

Oh, right. You're good at getting into bed.

Otherwise, Vesper wouldn't be giving you this much attention.

Change the whole plan. I'll be back tomorrow to check it.

Reworking the whole plan will take at least three days. That's your problem.

I don't care how you do it.

If it's not fixed by tomorrow, I'm not walking the show.

What's going on?

Is there a problem?

Nothing. Annie and I were just going over the details.

Is that so?

Vespers trusted me with something this important.

If I can't even handle this, I'll be letting her down.

Yeah, we're just discussing it.

Oops,

you need to be more careful.

Careful there, assistant.

Those are all new samples, only one pair of each.

You break them, you can't afford to replace them.

Oh wait, I forgot. Your girlfriend's the CEO of Stiletto now. I'm sure she'll

cover it for you.

Vesper's only with you for the novelty.

She's been with more women than you've even met.

When she gets bored with you, what do you think happens next?

You're lying.

Vesper's not like that.

You're still too naive.

If I were you, I'd listen to someone who's been around the block.

Trust me, I've been there.

Oh my god, how clumsy of you. Here, let me help.

You don't need to carry samples yourself.

Let the staff handle it.

Don't worry about it. I'm just an assistant, after all.

What's wrong with her?

Why is she suddenly so cold to me?

You. Come here.

Put these on me.

Why should I put them on for you?

Isn't that what assistants do?

You can't handle the actual runway work, so you can't even handle a little grunt

work?

How does it feel down there?

You're just an assistant.

This is all you're good for.

We're co-workers, so show some respect.

Respect? You?

Vesper's only with you for fun.

When she gets bored, you won't even be good enough to kneel at my feet.

Someone like her gets to be Vesper's girlfriend?

She's short, she's heavy, and her taste is awful.

I seriously don't know what Vesper sees in her.

She probably slept her way to the top.

What else could it be?

Why are you taking so damn long to put on a pair of shoes?

How can anyone be this useless?

You're fired.

Get out of my show.

What did you just say?

Your team's out.

You're not walking the show.

Fire me?

That's crazy. The launch is right around the corner. Where are you going to find

a replacement team in time?

You think way too highly of yourself.

Models are dying to walk a stiletto show. You really think you're

irreplaceable?

Miss Blake, just fire Rachel.

She's the one who bullied Annie. We had nothing to do with it. Please don't kick

us out.

You guys!

Fine. These red velvet heels, the seasonal highlight, were custom made in

my size. There isn't another pair. Fire me and who's going to anchor the show?

That's not your concern.

Now get out.

Stiletto will never work with you again.

Come with me.

These are the seasonal highlight heels.

How is there another pair?

There were two pairs from the very beginning.

This one was made in your size.

But I'm not a model.

I can't walk a runway.

These shoes were designed for you from the start.

You're the one who suits them best.

I was going to tell you after the show, but I guess I'm letting the secret

out early.

So Rachel was lying.

You're not just playing around with me. What are you talking about?

Can't you feel my heart?

Don't believe a word Rachel said.

You silly girl.

Telemarketing. Change the launch theme to Heels Every Girl Can Wear.

Trust yourself.

You've got this.

If I fall, your whole launch is ruined.

You won't.

And even if you do, I'll catch you.

And now, let's welcome the hero item of the season!

It's okay.

You've got this.

Just make it to the end.

It's not that hard.

Hey, look at her. She's not exactly model-shaped, but she's got her own

charm. Totally. Those shoes look like they were made for her.

Easy, easy.

Just make it back. Then this torture is over.

Oh, I'm dead.

It's okay.

I got you.

Wait, isn't that Mrs. Blake?

I think so.

Oh, my God.

Did you just flash over here or something?

Your stride was off the second you turned around, so I followed you the

whole way.

I told you I'd catch you if you fell. I meant every word.

Well, I guess I just came out without even trying.

Do you regret it?

Do you?

Then neither do I.

Boss, great news.

The pre-orders are triple what we expected. The every girl style is flying

off the shelves.

Everyone online is talking about you catching Annie last night.

Really? Did you hear that, Vesper? This is amazing!

Got it.

You've worked hard lately.

The launch was a huge success, and you deserve the credit.

I didn't seem to get anything right. I literally fell.

That fall was the soul of the whole show.

Does it still hurt?

Much better.

You got this injury because of me.

I'll never forget that.

Since when did you become such a flirt? I've always known how.

I just never had a reason to use it until I met you.

It's been three days.

How is this story still trending?

Miss Blake, a man named Tim is here. He doesn't have an appointment, but he

insists on seeing you.

Let him wait outside.

And Annie, give us a minute, please.

Who is this Tim?

I've never seen Vester this shaken before.

Nice office.

Looks like you've done pretty well for yourself.

Ex-wife.

I put money into Stiletto when it started. Now that your business is

booming, don't you think I deserve my share?

I already gave you your payout when we parted ways.

We signed an agreement.

Black and white.

That agreement covered the division of personal property.

It said nothing about Stiletto shares.

I want 50% of Stiletto.

Unless you want everyone to find out you're a fake, marriage-scamming dyke,

you better give me what I want.

Try me.

So you're Vesper's new girlfriend.

You look even better in person.

Who are you?

I don't know you.

Vespa's got good taste, but what does she know about satisfying a woman?

A stunner like you needs a man to give you what you really need.

Stay away from me, pervert!

Who was that guy?

I don't want to talk about it right now. Just go.

I need some time alone.

She's never pushed me away before.

This is the first time.

You know you can tell me anything. We can figure it out. There's nothing to

figure out. I said leave me alone. Do you not understand?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have yelled at you.

It's just not a good time.

I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on.

He's my ex-husband It was a business marriage. I didn't understand my

sexuality back then once married I realized I Couldn't bear a man's

touch. I bought my way out and thought it was over.

You didn't do it on purpose You just didn't know who you were back then

It's

getting late Your ankle isn't fully healed yet. You should go home and rest.

What about you?

I'm going to the warehouse.

Sample check.

I'm coming with you.

Suit yourself.

Your work's done. I'll take you home first.

Let's get this board meeting started.

I'm Mr. Timothy's attorney.

Here is proof of his initial capital injection into Stiletto.

By law...

My client has the right to claim 50% of the company.

I built Stiletto from the ground up.

You had zero part in it.

You're not getting 50% or a single share.

Get off your high horse.

Don't push your luck.

If I expose your sham marriage, you think you can keep that perfect image

you have in the press?

Timothy, I've given you a chance to walk away with dignity.

If you don't want it, I have no problem dragging you down with me.

You think you're going to get rid of me like that?

I've got something you are more interested in.

Like your little girlfriend.

What are you going to do?

Relax.

Who says I'm going to do anything?

But it's pretty obvious she means a lot to you.

I'm asking you one last time. The shares?

Are you giving them to me or not?

Who said you could just barge in here?

Don't interfere with my assistant's work.

Or you could let her spend the night with me.

Keep me happy and maybe we can negotiate the shares.

A beautiful thing like her wasting herself on a woman like you is just...

You look at her one more time, and I'll make sure you never look at anyone

again.

You crazy bitch!

Your hand is bleeding.

It's nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?

You're bleeding.

Can't you see that?

If it hurts, tell me.

If he ever lays a finger on you, I'll kill him.

I know.

Why are you crying?

It's not like I lost a fight. How could you possibly lose?

But next time when you try to smash something, be careful with your own

hand.

I know.

As long as I'm here, I'll keep you safe.

My lawyers have everything lined up.

By 8 tomorrow morning, every major media outlet will hear about the Stiletto

CEO's sham marriage.

Vesper, sign the transfer agreement while you still have a chance.

Otherwise, watch Stiletto's stock price crash.

Ms. Blake, if this hits the press, the impact on our stock price... Maybe we

should cave for now to stall him, then figure something out later.

We can't back down!

With someone like him, give him an inch and he'll take a mile. He thinks he can

walk away with everything for free?

Why should we let him?

Annie's right.

We are not giving away the company.

I'll handle this myself.

Meeting adjourned.

I didn't expect you to speak up.

You literally fought Tim for me.

How could I just stand back and watch you fight this alone?

Fair enough.

Guess I shouldn't expect less from someone bold enough to wear a bullet

vibrator in a meeting and ride the larger end of a double tildo.

Are you serious right now?

We're in deep trouble and you're teasing me?

What would you do if Stiletto were really gone?

I don't know It's the only thing I've ever had You still got me.

I'll never leave you Do you know what my deepest fear is?

What?

What if he came after you?

I'm not afraid

Silly girl, I am.

I'll go up for the meeting. Park the car and come right up.

Okay.

Tim, what do you want?

Vess won't talk to me, so I had to invite you instead.

Let me go!

Somebody help!

Take her.

What's taking her so long?

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

What's going on?

Something's wrong.

Annie, something happened to her.

Miss me already, ex-wife?

Where's Annie?

What did you do to her?

What a waste.

A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be with a woman.

That's okay.

We've got plenty of time. When Vespal gets here, I don't mind letting her

watch me turn you into mine.

You

came

fast.

Now do exactly what I say. Give me the signed transfer paper and I'll let her

go.

But the deal has changed.

I want 100%.

100%?

You want all of Stiletto? That's right. I asked nicely, but you don't cooperate.

So don't blame me for raising the stakes.

What? Isn't a company worth trading for your little girlfriend?

You'll get 100%. Untie her first.

Give me the signed papers, then I'll let her go.

Sign it.

And she dies.

Now let her go.

I knew it.

She's your weakness.

Why did you do something so stupid? You could have called the police.

I was afraid he might hurt you.

Stiletto is mine now.

Thanks for the gift.

You shouldn't have given him the company.

It was everything to you.

It was.

Stiletto was the one thing I built entirely on my own. I used to think it

was everything.

Then why?

A company can be rebuilt.

But there's only one Annie Brown in the whole world.

Worth this?

You are.

You're worth more than all of Stiletto.

Actually, the Stiletto Tim took is nothing but an empty shell.

What?

You...

You

planned this ahead of time, didn't you?

I knew you'd find a way to deal with Tim.

Ten days ago, the core team signed a new deal to come with me, and I already

moved all our major operations to a new company.

When did you do all this?

I started preparing it the day Tim first came to my office.

I care about Stiletto, but I care about you more.

Will you start a new company with me?

Wherever you go, I'll go.

Be yourself. Do what you want to do.

Mom's proud of you.

The new brand launches next month.

Have you decided on a theme?

Walk bold.

Tread easy.

Fit for every girl.

How does that sound?

Perfect.

What are you doing? This is a workplace.

What?

Employees can't kiss the boss?

Nope. You need to submit an application first.

Approved or not?

Approved.

I once believed high heels were a woman's sharpest weapon, but then I

realized she doesn't need a weapon.

She just needs a pair of shoes to take her anywhere, and someone to go

everywhere with.

I used to look up at you, thinking whether I was good enough to be your

assistant.

Now I'm on this stage, while you're in the audience, and you've become the

strength I stand on.

Why did that speech sound so much like me? Is plagiarism a crime? Of course it

is. Your punishment is dinner on you. Just dinner?

What other kind of punishment do you have in mind?

Is

this

place closed?

It closed last month.

I bought the property, and now it's yours.

Back where it belongs.

That must have cost a fortune.

We're starting a new business. Every cent counts right now.

The previous owner was short on cash, so I got it cheap. Consider it a great

investment.

Later on, you can rebuild your house right here.

Same blueprint as your family's old home, down to every detail.

No way.

I'm all grown up now.

We're building one that belongs to both of us.

And we're designing it together.

I don't know a thing about house designing.

Making shoes is all I'm good for. Oh, please.

You used to design only high heels, and look at you now, making flats like a

pro.

Think that room is still there?

What room? I don't know what you're talking about.

Come on, let's find out.

I bet it's still there.

Oh, come on.
