BETTY IN NEW YORK

Is there more than friendship between you and Betty?

Hey, hold on!

Relax. It was just a question.

We thought it strange that you'd send her flowers.

What's wrong with sending her flowers?

I don't think we require his services any longer.

Are you asking me to fire Nicolas?

-Uh-huh. -No, I won't do that.

I won't fire Nicolas.

Did you see how she defends him? She's in love, bro.

Get it through your head.

Nicolas is with her to get BAR's money.

If we don't do something, he'll take V&M away from us too.

Goodness gracious!

I love you very much. You're more than a friend.

I'll have to get electrocuted more often,

so you're this sweet to me.

You have to woo Beatriz.

It's the only way we won't lose it all.

-Betty. -Huh?

I'm in love with you.

My sixth sense tells me there's something or someone

that's making him act like that.

If Beatriz weren't so Betty like,

I'd think there's something going on between those two.

-Betty. -Yes, Mr. Armando?

Yes, yes! Yes!

Know what's the hardest part

about being in a relationship with Armando?

Loneliness.

Marcela, a woman like you is lonely by her own choosing.

If you so wanted it, you'd have men at your feet.

-Tonight, we're going out. -Is that wise?

It's necessary. We'll meet where we met yesterday.

Let's go, matador! Go after her!

After who?

Marcela, I didn't know you were coming.

Tonight, we're going to be very, very naughty.

What are you doing? What's this about?

Ms. Rincon, you're just like us.

What are you doing here?

Nicolas told you not to show up without my permission.

That's why we're here: to ask for your permission.

And since you're here, we'd like to discuss the matter

of our advance with you.

We've been unable to sort that out with Mr. Ramos.

And we want to remain your lawyers.

-Sandra. -Good morning.

Say you're my lawyers again and you're fired!

Frank, don't mention it again.

I promise, Peter. You neither.

I promise, Frank.

Now that we've completed your orders, Ms. Rincon,

I'd like to return to the topic we were discussing.

If you're not liquid right now, we'd be willing to accept

another form of payment.

-Right, Frank? -That's right, Peter.

And these offices look to be quite functional.

That's it! I've just had an amazing idea.

Don't leave us in suspense.

You got it, Frank.

Ms. Rincon, if you were to get us an office here at V&M,

we might consider that to be the advance.

What do you say?

We'd never make anyone else an offer like you.

Only you.

No way!

I'm not giving you an office here at V&M!

And I hate how you ping-pong everything you say

off each other.

And just so you know,

Nicolas will handle you two.

Forgive us. Mr. Ramos is a very busy man.

Very busy.

-It was our mistake. -We're not in a rush.

Pretend we were never here.

Khaleesi, we meant no disrespect.

Have a great day. Let's go.

Excuse us.

This is so difficult.

Truly difficult.

Top One magazine told me I could pick only four outfits,

but all of them are divine.

You're right, Hugo. They're spectacular!

Aren't they?

I love seeing you like this. So happy and fulfilled.

This is my year!

I got married, and I'm about to become

one of the best designers in all Manhattan.

Sorry, sorry.

What are you doing, Marce? Careful.

Hey! What are you looking at?

The dresses. They're so colorful.

Colorful?

Watch it, Ricardo. That's not your department.

You've got enough to deal with, don't you think?

We're ready to start with...

Priscila, great to see you. How are you?

Very well.

This world is full of tramps, and one of them

was stuck to Armando all night.

A journalist.

What's she doing here?

She must've come because Nature, my collection,

is the talk of all Manhattan.

Don't start getting all jealous.

How annoying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What an honor to have

the best fashion editor in all of Manhattan here.

Thank you.

Armando, where were you?

I just saw Beatriz talking to her lawyers.

What? They're here again?

Yes. So find out what's going on.

Hey, don't leave her alone, especially now.

I had to stand her up yesterday because Marcela

had a surprise for me and... you can imagine.

-I won't even tell you. -No, thanks.

I don't want to picture it.

What about Beatriz? She's your objective.

I know, but I couldn't go.

I texted and called her, but she didn't respond.

She hasn't replied since then.

Obviously not, and get ready. The day's off to a hectic start.

-We've got another problem. -What now?

Marcela is in Hugo's shop,

dying to strangle Priscila, the fashion editor.

What? Priscila's here?

Yes.

She came to supervise her photographer's work, but...

We both know that's a ruse. She came to see you.

I'm going to speak to her before she does something foolish.

-Tell me something. -What?

Does Beatriz know you were with Marcela last night?

Did you leave proof?

Yes. Marcela posted everything.

It's like she suspected something.

Bro, bro, bro, what's wrong with you?

How could you let her? That's a rookie mistake.

You know what? Marcela's marking her territory.

Nicolas too. Yes.

I heard yesterday that Betty's very much in love with him.

No, that can't be.

I felt her complete devotion when I kissed her.

Isn't that nice? Well, that was yesterday,

before she found out you hooked up with Marcela.

Today is a new day, and you have to make up with her.

-Good morning. -Good morning, Betty.

Good morning.

Betty.

Can we talk for a second?

I'd like to explain why I didn't make it last night.

-May I? -It's not necessary, sir.

No, it is. Please.

The thing is, Marcela told me she wasn't going

to the cocktail party, but then she suddenly did.

She must've changed her mind.

Yes, I know.

Marcela made sure to document

everything that happened last night.

-Oh. -Like here, on her social media.

You two look so cute in this picture.

Looks like you had a good time being intimate.

Okay, that's enough of that.

I get it. You're with someone.

I'd forgotten that small detail.

-Betty, please let me explain... -Good morning!

Good morning. Hi.

Good morning, Beatriz.

Darling, you know what?

Priscila, the editor for Top One magazine,

is here with her entire team for a photo shoot

and she's asking for you.

Isn't that weird that she'd come herself for that shoot?

It is, but we should have that shoot.

The publicity is important.

Yes, I agree. Shall we go?

Yes.

That's if I can borrow him for a moment, Beatriz.

May I take him?

Thank you. You're always so nice.

-Let's go, honey. -Let's go.

I want more light.

Where is that lamebrain Jenny?

Don't worry.

She called to say she was on her way.

Relax, Hugui. Everything's going to be fine.

You'll see.

It's always the same with that woman.

-Priscila, how are you? -Armando.

I didn't know you were coming to this photo shoot.

-Everything okay so far? -Fantastic.

-Not only am I here to work... -Of course.

...but it's always a pleasure to come to V&M.

Yes.

How are you, Catalina?

Marce, you recognize her, don't you?

Yes, she's the one from that cocktail party.

Yes, the one in the pictures!

She's shameless.

I saw her with my own two eyes.

She was flirting with Armando all night.

I can't believe her. She's got some nerve.

If I were you, I'd grab that ponytail

and jam it in a sewing machine.

Don't worry.

I'll show her that Armando's mine and only mine.

Watch.

Sweetie, we're ready to start.

Nice to meet you. I'm Marcela, Armando's fiancée,

and you are?

-Priscila. -Oh, welcome, Priscila.

Thank you.

The early bird catches the worm.

I didn't know you were into Sandrita.

I was, I was.

But when I went to pick her up to go last night,

I found her in a very compromising situation.

What do you mean? So she is into dudes?

I wish!

There she was, in the corner of the bathroom,

but with another woman.

What? Did you record them?

Concentrate, Giovis!

What I'm trying to say is that I think Sandra's gay.

That's what I heard at the gym, but I questioned it.

But after seeing what I saw last night, I have no doubt.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right.

Sandra swings a bit differently.

She's really into sports.

And she even helps with my repairs!

There you have it! She's clearly gay!

And here I am, like an idiot, trying to get with her.

Don't beat yourself up over it, buddy.

Besides, if you look at Sandra, she's got it going on.

What I don't understand is why she agreed to go out with me.

Simple.

You're her beard, obviously.

She's trying to hide it.

Maybe her family doesn't know about her sexual orientation.

You think so?

Affirmative, and definitely, my dear security officer.

Standing before me is another victim of feminine manipulation.

Welcome to the club!

If I'd known, I never would've tried.

Kudos, Priscila.

You're obviously very dedicated to your job.

Yes.

I love enterprising people, and Armando is expanding V&M.

We are.

I'm not just a part of his personal life.

I'm also his partner.

How about we talk about the collection?

That way you'll have a clearer concept of it,

which gives you more to work with.

-Of course. -Darling, I was thinking,

who better than Hugo to explain it to her?

Of course. Hugo.

You're right.

Hey, what's your deal? I called you a thousand times.

I waited for you. You could've let me know if something happened to you,

-don't you think? -Yeah, right?

But what can we do? That's life.

-Unfair. -Why are you talking like that?

Because I'm fed up with being made a fool of!

You have no shame, Sandra.

You and I, you and I were buddies.

You could've told me.

Told you?

-Told you what? -There's no problem, though!

You know what? Do what you damn well please.

If you don't care, why should I?

You know what?

Wilson, please wait.

What did I do now?

Look at my little boy. Doesn't he look like me?

No, he doesn't.

That's right, lovebug.

I'm on my way to the studio.

No, I will be.

I'm going to be the star of the session.

My skin is tan, toned, and super tight,

unlike others whose saggy skin hangs off them.

That's right.

Plus, I've got my super smile because I'm not bitter.

And my youth. I've got so much energy, babe.

We'll talk later, though. I'm sending you some really sweet kisses.

Mrs. Sofia, conceal your envy,

because at your age, your skin could sag even more.

What? Idiot!

-Relax. -I'm fine.

Remember that the lawyer told you this would all be resolved in court.

I'm fine. I'm under control.

Can't you see that I'm under control?

Yes.

I could've disfigured her face if I wanted to,

but I didn't because I want her in perfect health in court

so she can hear what the judge tells her

and that loser Efrain, which will be music to my ears.

You're calm, right?

This collection is the rebirth of V&M Fashion,

which is reborn like a phoenix rising from the ashes

to soar in the fashion industry.

Wow.

Is this an exclusive collection or will it be more accessible,

like the one that was sold to Mogollon's Market?

No, no, no.

We only sold to Mogollon's Market to get rid of the merchandise.

We're starting anew from this moment on.

Oh. If that's the case, mind if we take pictures of every dress?

Great idea. Girl.

What are you doing?

Showing my natural beauty.

Natural beauty my foot!

Nature may have made your beauty and that face,

but what you're wearing was designed by me,

which is what's being photographed, so put the glasses on.

You know what? Forget it.

-Get out now. -Why?

Scram.

What is your name?

Socorro.

May I come in?

Turns out one of the clients

who was supposed to make a transfer yesterday didn't.

I called and found out the transfer wouldn't be happening till tomorrow.

What client?

I brought it.

-Oh no. -What?

-No. -What?

-This is very serious, Sofia. -How come?

Because we were counting on this money

to put in the account so we could pay...

Payroll? Don't tell me it's payroll. Are you kidding?

Again with the financial problems?

Lower your voice, Sofia.

-They can't hear you. -Sorry.

The thing is, our customers have to pay on time.

This isn't a charity or a non-profit.

No. Not at all.

Don't worry. I'll call and sort out the payment so we'll have time...

-Beatriz. -Hi.

May I come in?

Come in.

I was just leaving. I'm going.

Look, I'm almost out.

Mr. Ricardo, how are you? You need something?

Beatriz, I've come to find out why your lawyers came to see you.

I believe there are more important matters

to deal with right now, Mr. Ricardo.

More important?

What can be more important than that, Beatriz?

There's no money for payroll.

Oh no.

They say they'll do all they can,

but it won't be until tomorrow morning that they pay,

and we need that money sooner.

Yes, that's a serious problem, but you know what?

Let's see what Armando comes up with.

For now, answer my question.

Why did the lawyers come see you at the office?

I thought we'd made clear we needed to be prudent.

Yes, it was very clear.

That's precisely why this isn't the time to talk about that.

We've got something very serious going on, Mr. Ricardo.

I have to call banks and pray for a miracle

to resolve all this and not be overdrawn.

Okay, fine. I'll let you work.

But you owe me an answer.

Yes, Mr. Ricardo.

If you have any questions about my work,

feel free to discuss them with Mr. Armando.

It was a privilege and honor to work with you, Priscila.

V&M is your home. Come back whenever you like.

Right?

Thank you very much.

Hugo, I must say that you're the talent behind V&M.

Behind, in front of, on top of, below... Every direction.

Once in a while these people must be reminded

of the importance of a designer like me.

Oh, please, Hugo. You've had complete freedom to do what you like.

We appreciate your work a lot here.

Sure you do.

Well, Priscila, we'd hate to take up more of your time.

I'll walk you out. Let's go.

Great to see all of you.

Likewise. Take care.

It was great to see you.

-Likewise. -Give me a kiss.

-Shall we? -Let's go.

I'll walk with you to walk her out, Marce.

I love your outfit.

Hey, tell me what's going on with your fiancée.

-I don't know. -That's not the Marcela I know.

Armie's got a weakness for women in glasses.

I bet this one will be his assistant before you know it,

cooped up in his office.

Oh, Lordy.

What happened?

My tower was toppled.

-What tower? -From the Tarot card reading.

Everything you told me happened to me.

The guy I was going out with turned out to be a phony.

No.

But he's sexist!

You have no idea how he treated me.

What happened?

I don't even want to talk about that.

From this moment on, Mariana, I renounce all men.

What are you doing here?

This is a no-Betty zone. And a no-flea zone.

I've come to see Mr. Armando.

Mr. Armando isn't here. Goodbye.

It's urgent I find him!

No, what's urgent is you getting seven plastic surgeries,

acquiring some class and poise

and having a million dollars in your bank account.

So go tend to those priorities.

Go on!

How truly monstrous.

I'm glad you put that Priscila in her place.

I know!

I was on Armando like white on rice the whole time,

marking my territory.

Hey, did I tell you that I started a plan on social media last night?

Yes, I noticed.

You posted a lot of pictures.

Did you get a lot more followers?

-Yes. -I want some.

You and Armando make an amazing couple.

I know.

I did it so that other woman knows her place.

Armando's been acting very weird.

Can you believe that yesterday I caught him

texting with who he says was "Beatriz"?

With that mustachioed Mary?

No way, Marce.

He's probably saving the names

of all his quasi-possible lovers under Beatriz's name

to throw you off.

I thought the same thing.

So that I'd think

he was speaking to that insignificant Beatriz.

What?

What if the other woman is Beatriz?

Oh, please!

-I love joking around like that. -That'd be awful.

-How pretty! -Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Do you know if the photo session is over?

That tramp passed by recently,

flaunting like she's Manhattan's star attraction.

I really don't know.

Betty, did you see the pictures Ms. Marcela posted?

Very romantic, don't you think?

Yeah, they look so cute.

So I guess Mr. Armando comes through for Ms. Marcela,

unlike some other phonies.

I have to go, girls. Excuse me.

Hey. Hey!

-Betty! -Poor Betty.

The anguish on her face can mean only one thing.

Nicolas?

You think he's still hurt?

-Please come in. -Thank you.

Hugo's outlining the new collection.

Yes, he told me he's working on Marcela's wedding dress.

I find it strange you still haven't set a date.

We're working on it, Catalina.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Armando, I'm not here as your PR director.

I've known you a long time, and I'm here as a friend.

Do you really want to marry Marcela?

Look, Catalina.

Oh! Sorry, Mr. Armando.

-Hi. -Look who's here.

The woman most in love in all of New York.

Yeah, right.

I've got something to finish up in here.

Excuse me.

-What? -There's the other one

that's acting weird.

I sense tension in this office. Work on that, Armando.

Betty, we have to talk.

I'd like to apologize for what happened last night.

Mr. Armando, this isn't the time.

-I'm busy now. -Please don't avoid me.

You don't always have to agree with me.

Let me explain what happened.

We've got more important things to fix.

Tomorrow is payday, and we have no way to pay.

-What? -One of the payments we needed

didn't come in, and now there's no money to pay that.

How can we depend on the payment of one of our clients?

-That's not right! -No, it isn't.

I thought we'd improved after last collection's success.

Right? Me too.

We're getting there, but we've still got a ways to go.

And? What are we going to do?

Don't ask me to keep lying because I won't do it.

No, Marcela. Calm down.

They'll get their money.

All our stockholders will get paid.

We still have a bit of capital put away.

What about the employees?

And the secretaries? I'm so embarrassed.

We'll get past this. I know it.

Every board member's getting their money

so that they don't rock the boat.

What about the other employees?

Betty's coming up with a solution, and I hope you have my back.

Wow!

I'd seen pictures of a couple in love,

but these are incredible.

It's like a dream.

Oh, to be in love.

How much must a bottle of that champagne cost?

What those two glasses they're drinking cost

is enough for all of us to be tanning in Cancun together.

Betty. Betty, where are you going?

Hello, sit down with us.

Come on.

We're looking at the pictures Marcela posted.

Did you see them?

No. I've had a lot of work.

They're so cool.

They look so nice together. He's very sweet to her.

-Yes. -Of course.

They've known each other since they were kids.

It makes me happy. Marcela really deserves it.

She suffered a lot when she lost her parents on 9/11.

Oh, I didn't know.

Yes, it was a very hard time.

Very sad. Marcela was not well at all.

If not for the Mendozas,

who knows what would've happened to her?

The good thing is at least she'll never have to deal

with some slut coming between her and her man.

-That's really tough. -Of course not.

Another woman would be stupid to because that couple

is never splitting up.

They've been through it all and they're still together.

All right, all right.

Sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Armando

would like to speak to all the employees right now.

What? We're not getting paid?

Again?

Armie, I was just interviewed by Top One,

one of the biggest fashion magazines in Manhattan.

How will I buy my clothing?

Look, I know this inconvenience will cause you many problems.

I understand.

But it's only for one day.

Excuse me, sir, but that one day, for us, is a luxury.

Yes, Ines, you're right.

That's why I can't ask you to stay and work today.

You may take the day off.

See you tomorrow.

They can't be doing this to us.

Last time we didn't get paid was terrible for me.

Now Tommy's school is charging me for his after-school care.

They can't do this to us now.

I've been walking a lot lately. I can't afford the subway.

Not even Hugo's getting paid.

Watch them tell us tomorrow

that we're actually getting paid the day after tomorrow.

No, I'm scared because this is the second time it's happened.

I hope layoffs aren't next.

Oh, no, Mariana.

Don't say that!

Even with what my husband makes,

I don't think we'll have enough for groceries.

This is really serious, girls.

This never happened to Margarita and Roberto.

And whatever's going on, I doubt things will improve.

We shouldn't freak out.

If the boss says we're getting paid tomorrow, then we are.

I believe him.

I sure hope you're right. That's twice this has happened!

Could they be having financial problems?

You think they'll close V&M?

Bite your tongue!

I might have to.

Some beef tongue in green sauce.

Hey, leave me some of that.

I have anxiety.

I don't want to go home because my husband's traveling,

and I'd just devour the fridge and pantry.

So instead you're here, devouring my fridge and pantry.

You want some?

Do I want some? No, I made it just for you.

Oh, okay.

What are you doing here, Efrain?

What am I doing here? This is my house too.

Just like that? Without apologizing?

Why should he apologize, Sofia?

What are you doing here, slut? With your bags?

You can't expect me to leave my lovebug here

alone with you, can you?

That's not happening.

My boyfriend is moving in here, and so am I.

What?

We're going to be a super happy family.

Armando, what's happening really is the last straw.

I know I look like a millionaire, but hello,

I'm not!

Those girls in the squad can scrape by

because that's what they're used to, but not me.

I know you understand. Armand, you and I are the same.

Hold on, Patricia. Check yourself.

We are not the same, and you are no different

from the other employees in this company.

What's more, payroll is delayed for everyone, me included.

But, Armand, don't you understand?

My power's going to be shut off.

Again.

And my fridge is empty as can be.

There's not so much as a dry lemon in it.

What do you want me to do?

You should've planned better financially.

You don't know what it's like to be poor.

It's really tough.

You can't make ends meet.

At least loan me money.

Loan you money?

Please, Patricia, you haven't even repaid Marcela all you owe her.

You don't even want to repay her.

What? Of course I want to repay her!

But with the pittance you pay me, how am I supposed to?

Then take a hike!

If the "pittance" I pay you isn't enough, go and find another job.

The only reason I haven't reduced your salary is Marcela,

because you don't deserve one-fifth of what you're making!

Get out.

But, Armand!

Fine.

You what, you two idiots?

Grab your things immediately and leave!

No, no, no, don't forget

that I have just as much right to this house as you.

Exactly, or have your forgotten that my lovebug

bought half this house from your brother?

See? I invested in this property.

What are you talking about? Get out of here!

Relax, Sofia. Calm down.

Calm down?

These two idiots are mocking me to my face!

-Grab your crap and go! -We're not leaving.

Get out!

You're so cute. Give me a hug.

We look like the Simpsons.

You can tell they love their Daddy, don't they?

And don't want to throw him out of the house like other people.

So cute.

-Huh? -You want to go play video games?

I know what they're saying. I was just testing you.

I'd love to play with you.

But first, I have to tell you something you're going to love.

We're going to be roomies.

We're going to be roomies!

Give me a hug.

Let's go play.

I'll take the bags up.

Bertha, since you're here, give us a hand.

Get out!

Betty, can we talk now?

I don't have anything to discuss, sir.

I'm quitting V&M. Here's my letter of resignation.

0.25.

0.50, 0.75.

One dollar! I'm rich!

What's this?

What's going on? Where is everyone?

Was everyone fired or what?

What's wrong with you?

My life is what's wrong.

You're so ridiculous, Patricia.

What? Money problems again?

Yes, but this time it's not my fault.

-It isn't? -No.

They didn't make payroll.

They didn't make payroll.

What? I don't accept your resignation.

Well, you have to. I can't keep working for you.

Why not?

Because I don't know what to think or do anymore

after everything that's happened to us.

You're engaged to be married.

Ms. Marcela doesn't deserve this.

What about my feelings and yours?

Don't they count?

It's better if you don't touch me.

Please forget about Marcela.

I can't.

I feel such shame whenever I'm near her.

What would I be

if I let myself get carried away by my feelings?

The other woman?

What do you expect me to be? Your lover?

Lover? Who's talking about...

Care to explain what's going on here?

How can there not be money to meet payroll?

-Thanks for helping. -What?

How can you live here with your lover?

Your children live here. Have you no shame?

If they accept Jenny, like you saw,

then why can't you accept that our marriage is over?

Don't be a fool!

I don't give a damn about that.

What I won't accept is that stupid whore

getting my house, because for your information,

it belongs to my kids and me!

Look, I'll remind you that I bought half of this house from your brother.

As such, it's mine too, and I'm not willing to lose it.

So listen carefully, Sofia Peña.

When I'm nice, I can be real nice,

but when I'm bad, I'm worse than you.

So if it's war you want, get ready.

Get ready for the World War I'm going to give you.

Oh, please. Grab a bag and carry it.

Shut up!

You'll get sick if you don't calm down.

You're right about that.

The lawyer advised me on what to do,

and I was almost convinced to sign the papers,

but now there's no way in hell I will!

What if Efrain's doing this because deep down

he still wants you?

What are you talking about? You're... not well!

You and he had your time together.

Maybe it's a strategy to be near you again.

To repeat what happened between you two.

You know what I mean?

-Of course not. -Yes.

No way.

What if you give that slut some of her own medicine

and become your husband's lover?

How Machiavellian.

-Know what I'd do if I were you? -No.

I wouldn't let anyone screw me. I'd screw her first.

If you do it right, I promise you that in less than one week

she'll be out on the street.

-She'd leave all by herself. -You think?

You know it!

My malice knows no bounds.

You can't walk into my office making demands.

Yes, I can! I'm a partner here too!

I'd better go.

-No, no, no! -No, no, no!

You stay here.

Let her go!

You're the only one that knows the truth about this company's finances.

You're going to tell me why our personnel weren't paid.

Whatever you want to know, ask me.

Don't touch Betty.

What for? So you can keep lying to me?

What?

Like you two did at the board meeting.

Those reports were fake.

But when this lie gets out in the open

and I'm sitting in that chair,

I'm going to audit your management.

If I find any anomalies, no matter how small,

I'll have you two sent to jail.

You, Ricardo, and you too, Beatriz.

-No, not me. -Yes, you.

That's enough of your drama, Patricia.

It's not like anyone died.

I'm the one about to die!

From all the stress and worry.

What's happening isn't fair!

I wake up super early every day to come to work.

I'm always up early, and now I'm not getting paid?

So unfair! Do something, Marce.

It's just a delay. Don't blow it out of proportion.

Some people are much worse off than you.

Yes, but those people aren't your best friend.

I am!

Please talk to Armand and tell him just to pay me.

I promise I won't say anything to anyone.

I'm not even getting paid, Patricia.

No duh! But you don't need it.

While I'm going to end up on the street.

On the street!

I'll be honest with you.

I accepted this job because I thought V&M

was a solid company.

And it is.

It's a problem with a customer that didn't pay on time.

That's all it is.

I'm not that naïve, Marcela.

Remember, I'm a well-educated woman.

-I took-- -Three semesters at DUI.

Exactly.

So tell me.

What did Armando do with the money?

He invested it.

And I won't question his presidency, okay?

Here.

Where's Armando?

In his office.

-He's meeting with Daniel. -What?

Yes, he obviously found out we weren't paid.

How? Oh no, Patricia.

Go.

You think I'm scared of your threats?

Relax, it's just a one-day delay.

Yeah, yeah, a delay that just proves the failure of your administration!

V&M had never failed to make payroll.

What's next? Bankruptcy?

Because you're this close to sinking the company, fool!

Armando, Daniel, what's going on?

He started it!

-Know what's going on? -What?

Your fiancé wants to destroy our families' legacies,

-and you're his accomplice. -Me?

Yes, you! You don't do anything to stop him.

Excuse me!

No!

Why are you two always arguing?

He started it!

If you like, I'll authorize a transfer to you

because you seem to be desperate for money.

No, I'm not desperate, but you know who is?

-Listen to this. -Your employees are.

Let's go.

You hear how he yells at me?

Get the stick out of his butt.

It couldn't have turned out better.

Wilson!

Bro, we haven't talked,

and I have something very important to tell you.

Our hypothesis was proven.

Your suspicions were true.

Sandra plays for the other team.

-Don't tell me that. -Yes.

How'd you find out?

Elementary, my dear Wilson.

My antenna's always up.

I heard with my own ears when Sandra told Mariana

that she was quitting men,

that she wanted nothing to do with them.

So unless you get a sex change,

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Sandra really pulled a number on me, and I didn't even realize it.

Look on the bright side, my sweet sentinel.

If you think about it, you did Sandra a favor.

You helped her come out of the closet.

What a favor!

She came out of the closet,

and I entered the pantheon of all-time dummies.

-Do me a favor, bro. -What's that?

This stays between us.

I don't want any problems from someone finding out.

Your secret is safe with me.

Don't tell me to call because I've tried a hundred times

and she's not answering.

I warned you.

A professional wouldn't leave proof lying around.

How can you let Marcela post your entire private life on social media?

All right, all right. Plus, Betty told me she wouldn't come between

Marcela and me. She's not going to do it.

Know what? Poor Betty.

I feel tenderness, but also pity for her.

That's a plus, by the way.

How can you say that's a plus?

Yes, Betty bought the story, bro.

She thinks a man like you could've fallen in love

with a woman like her.

That was the hardest part.

Now all you have to do is woo her again.

I can't, not while I'm still with Marcela.

Armando, you can and you will. Call off your engagement to her.

Until we get what we want,

don't discuss the wedding with Marcela.

How can you ask that?

What do you mean? Wake up!

Beatriz owns V&M, BAR, and our freedom is in her hands.

We're running out of time.

You have to make up with the uggo, and you will.

No, I can't simply "call off" my wedding to Marcela.

You have no idea how much pressure I'm under.

From my mom and you and everyone else.

"When's the wedding? When's the wedding?"

I can't!

Let's change strategies.

No pressure.

You'll be her friend. Her confidant.

Tell her you feel good by her side.

Open your heart to her, and when she lowers her guard,

boom!

You attack again.
