IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

This is something that's always been yours.

Nobody can ever love or understand me like you do.

Will you marry me?

Champagne's here!

What are we celebrating?

Armando and I are getting married.

I came to toast to your success.

You achieved two of my biggest dreams:

Expanding V&M and making me fall truly in love.

Armando, please...

I just want one last hug.

I thought things were clear after we spoke last time.

Stop bothering my daughter. Leave her alone!

Ma'am, please.

It's important that I speak with her.

Don't lie, sir.

There's nothing so urgent that you can't tell her at work.

You hear that?

My daughter's laughing again.

But with another person.

With a person who shows her how nice life can be.

What? Joaquin's back?

That's right.

Arrived this morning.

He came straight here from the airport.

My Betty got so happy.

My daughter's getting another chance at love

and at being happy.

Why do you want to ruin that?

I know you don't believe me, but I love Betty.

I mean that with all my heart.

I could believe that.

Last night, during that lovely speech of yours,

I almost believed you.

You sounded very sincere.

But if you truly love her, yours is a sick kind of love.

You made my little girl suffer so much.

No, ma'am, please...

Armando, my daughter is trying to have something nice

with a man who loves and respects her.

You achieved what you wanted so badly,

which was to succeed in business.

And my daughter's helping you!

Your company's fine, and it'll keep getting better.

That's why I'm asking you

that if you won't respect my daughter,

respect me.

Forget this place forever.

Leave and don't come back.

Please just leave us in peace.

Come see this.

We're all over social media, darling.

Last night's event was a hit!

Yeah.

Marcela, are you happy with me?

Why do you ask?

After all the lies and deception

and false promises,

do you really want to spend the rest of your life with me?

Of course I do.

Just like you, sometimes I don't even understand myself,

but I love you.

And that's enough for me to keep going.

Then let's set a wedding date and get married

as soon as possible.

-Already? -Yes.

You mean it?

I love you so much.

I'm the happiest woman in the world.

What about you?

Huh?

For someone who just made the most important decision

of their romantic life,

you don't seem very happy.

No, of course I am. I'm just worried.

I can't help think of all there is to do.

This time I'd like a small wedding.

As soon as possible.

-Small? -Mm-hmm.

Then small it shall be!

I love you so much.

I love you very much. Me too.

I want to talk to Betty right now.

-You're not talking to her. -Let go of me!

She's the president. No!

Hey!

Oh my "gas." You're so pretty.

Mr. V&M President, I've got a huge problem.

Everyone here hates me.

Even Mr. Smith.

And all because I'm gorgeous.

No, girl. I tried to stop her.

I didn't want her coming in,

but since she's got no waist, she slipped away from me

-like a fish. -See?

See how she treats me? All she does is mock me all day.

Mr. Betty, let me tell you my story.

No, that's not necessary. I'm well aware.

I'll make sure to address the issue.

Perfect.

Now you'll start respecting me.

Sofia, do you mind printing Jenny's termination letter?

And reach out to your lawyers so they can speak to ours.

We're going to resolve the matter of the fashion show.

I was the one who reported you to Smith.

Betty, no.

There's been a big mistake.

Everybody's out to get me because I'm pretty.

Please, Mr. Betty, I don't want to go to jail.

Can you imagine me in jail?

Enough.

I said what I had to, now let me work.

Mr. Valencia.

What's your problem?

That man who just left came on behalf of the building manager.

We're being evicted.

Evicted?

He handed me this.

We're being locked out beginning tomorrow.

We have to evacuate the offices as soon as possible.

We owe three months of rent payments, sir.

No, this can't be right.

And stop crying! We're not going anywhere.

I have a meeting today with future investors.

And watch it.

They can't find out about this.

Now go wash your face!

-Sofia. -Huh?

Can you send me the online sales report, please?

Yeah, sure. Right away.

-Thank you. -Sure.

What's up, girl?

You're very mysterious, and when you get like that,

you scare me.

Berthita, why were you looking at Betty that way?

Could it be you have a secret to share with us

but you're scared to?

Is that it?

Where are you going?

Bertha, where are you going?

Son of a...

She only gets like that when she's got the juiciest gossip.

"When one of us has info like that,

it must be shared among all of us.

Sincerely, Bertha."

Congratulations, Marcela. We're going to be family.

Didn't Armando tell you I'm the best man?

I'd rather die.

You're not even invited to the wedding.

No?

How are you going to explain that to Armando?

"Darling, your best friend can't attend the wedding

because I cheated on you with him."

Are you crazy? Shut up!

What happened between us was a mistake.

It meant absolutely nothing.

That's not what you said when you begged me

to never stop making love to you.

Shut up.

You will never be like Armando,

and you'll never have a woman like me.

Ever.

-Is that what you think? -No, I'm certain of it.

So have some dignity and don't come to the wedding.

You're the one who should have some dignity.

Armando's marrying you to overcome his heartbreak,

and you're doing it to not be alone.

Get out.

Get out and never bother me again.

Who do you think you are to treat me like that?

Hi.

You look upset. You okay?

No.

I'm tired and I can't stand being at this company.

Nobody respects me.

Then leave.

Weren't you looking for the right time to leave with me?

This is it.

Sell your shares, invest in my company,

and come away with me.

Well, it's not that bad here.

I mean, I want to go with you,

but selling my stake now that V&M is turning the corner

isn't a smart move.

On the contrary, it's the best time to sell.

The shares are worth something again,

and if what you want is respect,

you'd have to be a majority shareholder,

which you'll never be here.

You're right about that.

Talk to Esteban.

He's always wanted to buy shares in V&M.

Maybe he'll make you a good offer.

Just some advice. You don't have to take it.

I can find another investor.

This is the entirety of what I own of V&M.

Maria Lucia said you might be interested in buying.

Esteban, I don't plan on giving them away,

so you let me know if you can afford something like that.

Ricardo, I came prepared with an offer.

Here it is.

Forget it, that's not enough. I can't sell for that price.

V&M is recovering, as you well know.

Yes, but that's happening because Betty's running things.

Eventually she'll return the company

to the Valencias and Mendozas.

Nobody knows how things will go under the new management.

I want 20% more than what you're offering.

I'll give you 4%.

And you'd have the money tomorrow.

Look, if we do this deal,

I don't want the other shareholders finding out.

Not yet.

That's fine by me.

It's a deal.

I feel awful.

-Why? -I was fired from the company.

Yes.

Despite giving them everything, I was fired.

Plus, I got fat because of them. I look like a whale.

Can you believe that?

That's not the worst part, though.

What is?

They're considering reporting me

for attempting to sabotage the fashion show.

No, no, no. Don't worry about that.

-No? -Of course not.

We'll just allege that it was human error.

Besides, the company didn't suffer any losses as a result.

-It didn't? -Of course not.

You sure?

They, however, will have to pay you for every ounce of weight

you put on.

-Me? -Yes.

-You're like Captain Hook. -Really?

Yes, you're someone I love having in my life

that I want to kiss me every morning.

Hug me.

Jenny Wendy!

-Sir! -Efrain!

This isn't what it looks like.

It isn't? Then what is it?

It's... human error, right?

Human error?

-Let me do the talking. -There's nothing to discuss here.

I caught you in flagrante. You're having an affair.

Give me back all the money I gave you!

No way. I'm not returning a dime!

I want every last dime back. All of it!

You owe me a quarter million dollars!

You're not my lovebug anymore.

You've gained so much weight you're a fat cow now!

After you.

This is the best decision you could've made.

Now we can do business together.

All we have to do now is agree on how the money is deposited.

But that shouldn't be a problem.

Do you have your valet ticket?

You got yours?

Are you all right?

They must've confused me for someone else.

Betty.

Huh?

Sorry.

I have to tell you something. It's personal.

Oh. That's not necessary.

If it's because of what happened,

we were all excited and tipsy and thrilled the show was a hit.

No, it's not that.

I came to tell you before you heard it from someone else.

Marcela and I are getting married in one month.

Aren't you going to say anything?

Congratulations.

Is that all?

Please promise me you'll be very happy.

Promise me.

I'll try.

I promise I'll try, even if it's without you.

Sandra, again, what are we doing here?

Committing a crime.

You just make sure the coast is clear.

If you see anything weird just whistle.

Dang, Sandra, I don't know how to whistle.

Oh my God.

When did I get myself mixed up in this?

I know the hardest thing you've ever done

is seduce Beatriz Rincon, and that having to pretend

to love that hideous troll that doesn't deserve it

has been a nightmare.

Just remember that she's the only guarantee

to get the company back.

What is that? What happened?

-The end of the world. -Let me see.

I know it isn't easy having to kiss that monstrosity

and that it's been even harder having to do the deed with her.

Let me tell you something.

I admire that you've been able to do that

without becoming an alcoholic in the process.

Yes, this is definitely the end of the world.

You've got to have an iron stomach

and an incredible imagination.

Go watch the door while I send myself a copy.

They're on to us! Finish up!

Yeah, go!

No, Sandra.

We're going to get caught and get fired.

And then sued.

And after that,

it's the big house for us, Sandra!

Hurry up!

Let's get out of here!

I'm going to try.

I'll try to be happy, but I don't know if I can be.

Because I was very happy with you.

It was the purest, most beautiful thing.

Don't say that. You will be happy.

No, it's the truth.

I was completely happy with you.

Though I realized that much too late.

Maybe you don't think of me the same

because I was your worst nightmare.

I was a jerk who tricked you,

but I'm the sucker who fell madly in love.

-Armando... -No, please let me talk.

Maybe this is the last time we speak.

I hope you'll be very happy with Joaquin.

He came at just the right time to help you

overcome the pain I caused you.

He deserves you.

I don't.

Just remember that I love you

and that I'll love you my whole life.

Girl.

Sorry that I just burst in here,

but I wanted to thank you for allowing me to witness

you firing that tramp...

What's wrong?

-I can't take it anymore, Sofia. -What is it?

-I can't take it anymore! -No, no, no.

It's okay.

Calm down.

Oh, no. What can I do for you?

What do I do? No, no...

My tooth.

I swallowed my tooth.

I'm talking with a lisp again.

It was gold!

If that tooth hurts me, it'll be your fault,

Jennifer Gwendolyn!

-Efrain, buddy... -I swallowed my gold tooth!

The human body is smart.

Whatever it doesn't need, it expels.

No, I hope it clogs his arteries.

So he learns to knock before coming in.

I was so wrong about you.

How could I have made such a big mistake?

But you don't know the real me.

I demand that you give me my money right now!

-I'm not giving you anything! -I want all my money!

I'm not giving you anything

because it's been wisely invested.

If you don't leave right now,

my cutie pie here is going to kick you out.

He's a Kung Fu black belt.

Is that right?

I'm warmed up and ready to go!

Efrain, buddy, there's no need to get violent.

-Tell him you're a karate master. -It was just a kiss.

Now, I'm not admitting to it. Just want that to be clear.

But I do admit it. I do.

Well, yes, but you know what women are like.

They care about feelings and the soul.

They don't care about the physical aspect.

I love the physical aspect.

In fact, from now on, I want us to be together.

And tough luck for anyone who doesn't like you.

Oh, it's tough luck all right.

Tough luck for you!

For both of you!

You'll both pay dearly for making a fool of Efrain Montes!

You'll pay for making me swallow my tooth!

I swallowed it!

And it was gold!

You know the best part of all this, cutie?

What?

You can take me to your job every day.

But as your official girlfriend.

Can you imagine?

Well, every day is going to be tough.

Why?

Sometimes I have to be at court early.

Well, we can still see each other every night.

In fact, you can bring all your things and move in with me.

Hold on.

What I don't get is who sent the message as a red alert.

The thing is, Mariana and I have...

We saw a pretty powerful video, right?

Yes, but we don't know where it came from

or how it reached us or why.

Not at all.

Bertha also has a juicy morsel of gossip to share.

Listen up.

Get with the program.

I'm sticking my neck out here.

What I know is really important.

It's the gossip of the year.

Then spit it out.

Let's all get on the same page.

We all have the right to hear what the rest have to say.

Let's start with who sent the message.

There you go. Who was it?

It was me.

Then go.

-Well... -Go, go.

-Hold on. -Go!

I walked into Betty's office.

-You have no idea. -What?

Tell us!

You don't know.

Let's begin the confidentiality course.

There are ways to differentiate toxic information

from useful information.

When you hear something, ask yourselves

if the information is appropriate and true.

Girl, is the info you've got appropriate and true?

At the same time.

I shall not divulge any gossip

concerning my bosses' or coworkers' personal lives.

I shall not divulge any gossip

concerning my bosses' or coworkers' personal lives.

I shall not divulge any gossip

concerning my bosses' or coworkers' personal lives.

So, what if one of our coworkers

starts to gossip about someone else?

Do we report them?

Is there an anonymous hotline we can call to report them?

Mr. Smith, I hate to interrupt,

but what Ines has is very contagious

and we're in an enclosed area.

It can be fatal.

She ate something she's allergic to.

Who knows what it could've been?

But now her immune system is weakened

after that spicy food...

We should just go.

Let's go, we don't want you dying.

Continue, though.

I shall not divulge...

Now you've done it, girls.

How could you tell Mr. Smith

something so embarrassing about me?

The horror!

Relax. It's natural.

Just relax.

Some gossip is worth revealing because...

that's how it should be.

Now spit it out, girl.

Tell us, Bertha, or I'll go first.

Okay.

Mr. Armando seduced Betty with Ricardo's help.

Betty and Armando were together.

That was my scoop!

I already knew that.

What's more, I caught them kissing passionately yesterday

in her office.

I saw them.

We should get rid of her when she ceases to be useful.

Oh my God.

It gets worse every time I watch it.

How terrible!

And the way Ricardo speaks about Betty is so...

So dirty and cruel and low!

They were both making a fool of Betty.

-Does Betty know? -Of course.

That's why she left the company and went missing.

She found out the day of that board meeting, remember?

You know what?

I'm so mad I'm going to tell off my boss.

Hold it right there! Where are you going?

Okay, girls.

We've got to keep calm because we're all a bit worked up.

But there's something I don't understand.

Why did Betty come back?

I never would've come back to a place

where they treated me so poorly.

Could it be that Betty's going to take revenge

-by stopping the wedding? -No.

No, right?

There's stuff that doesn't add up.

Key pieces of information are missing.

-Girls... -Huh?

They gave Betty the company.

Betty owns V&M.

What is it?

You miserable harpies!

Why is the door locked? You can't do that!

I'm going to report to Marcela that you're gossiping

and violating the confidentiality agreement!

Hey, all of you listen.

Nobody can say anything.

This would be the dress but in this color.

-Hi. -Hi.

Daniel, you had nothing to do with what happened

in India, right?

I didn't think anyone would lend credence

to this unfair attack.

But now that my friends turned their backs on me

because of a rumor,

I get that family is the most important thing one can have,

and they'll always be there for you.

When you most need them.

Please don't abandon me.

Do you both think I'm capable of something like that?

No, of course not.

And we apologize.

Then we have to clear your name.

You'll need a really good law firm.

I can have Esteban recommend one.

No, that won't be necessary.

I'll speak to him when I come back from my trip.

You're going away?

Yes.

I don't think that's a good idea.

People will think you're running away.

Not at all.

I'm not going anywhere far away, and I won't be gone long.

Getting inspiration from Beatriz's old cards

so you can be romantic with Marcela.

Why do you have this?

I thought you'd thrown everything out.

Don't get mad at me.

It's not my fault Beatriz dumped you for a self-made man.

But wait.

Aren't you back on a familiar path?

Aren't you going back to your consolation prize?

To the woman who'll never leave you

because she's obsessed?

You can't talk about Marcela like that.

Respect her.

Respect, Armando?

You're the one marrying her when you don't love her.

It's you who doesn't respect her,

and you don't respect yourself either.

Who do you think you are?

You can't talk about Marcela or Betty like that.

-What's wrong with you? -You want to know what's wrong?

I'm fed up with your hysterical fits and spoiled little boy act.

I'm tired of all of you.

Of the Mendozas and their arrogance

and of the Valencias, who think they own everything.

-That's what's wrong with me. -Then leave.

Nobody's forcing you to stay here.

You know, you're right.

I don't belong here because all of you

have always thought you were better than me.

I've always been treated like the golden boy's best friend.

You know full well I had to earn everything

on my own merits,

without a last name that opened doors for me.

You know what?

I'm done here.

You can't. You're a shareholder.

I was.

I just sold my shares.

You can't do that.

You would've had to notify the board.

Yeah?

No, I didn't need to.

Esteban's getting my part of V&M.

He took care of everything, so it's a done deal.

Know what, bro?

I've been cleaning up your messes for a long time

as your accomplice and your friend.

And for what?

I see now that you were never my friend.

You were only thinking of yourself.

Oh, please, Armando.

-Isn't that what we all do? -Get out!

We never should've given you the chance

to be part of V&M.

Leave.

You're right, but you know what?

It's a shame you noticed so late.

I'm going to a company that will appreciate my skills.

-Go. -None of you deserve me.

-Leave. -Go to hell.

Ricardo, I've known you since you were a teenager.

You were like a brother to Armando.

I gave you your first job.

Why did you do this behind our backs?

We made you a partner because we considered you family.

And because I deserved it, Roberto.

Don't forget that I brought millions of dollars

into this company.

And I always acknowledged your worth.

Other executives have done their jobs well,

but we didn't go and make them shareholders.

Ricardo, we gave you many more privileges

than we have others. You can't deny that.

No, I can't, but so what?

I know you appreciate me, but everyone else here

seems to forget that I've been fighting for years

to make this company what it is.

Who are you referring to specifically?

Everyone.

Especially that woman, that social climbing secretary

that you all named president.

I can't be where she is, Roberto.

And I can't be anywhere near Marcela or Armando.

Nothing here is the same anymore.

I understand.

You're leaving because you received a good offer

someplace else, otherwise you wouldn't be doing this.

You don't do anything for no reason.

You know something?

There was a time that I thought of you like another son.

But what can you do?

At least have the decency to hand in your resignation

to the president.

You shouldn't go out the backdoor

of the company that put food on your table for so many years.

Good day, Ricardo.

What happened? Did you find it?

-Yes. -And?

-It's right here. -Let's see.

Girls, do you know if Betty's busy?

Look at the present Joaquin de Quiroz left for her.

How elegant!

Could it be an erotic book?

That man is obviously very interested in her.

He's always leaving her gifts.

No, girl...

If Betty's still in love with Armando,

she's capable of showing up at the church

just as the priest is asking if there's anyone who feels

those two should not be married...

Her with her lion's mane, all furious.

What?

Girl.

Guess what? This came for you.

Ladies, my office.

What were you whispering about out there?

About...

About how we know everything, Betty.

Everything?

We saw the video that Ricardo sent Armando about you.

Bertha, that was you.

What? Me?

Of course not!

-It was Sandra! -It wasn't me!

Sandra?

No, it was me, but it wasn't me.

I didn't mean to.

We were on Ricardo's computer,

and seek and ye shall find.

And what we found was that video.

Uh-huh.

I'm sorry, girls. You should've heard it from me.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

No, you have nothing to apologize for.

It's those two who did something unforgivable.

You don't have to explain anything to us.

It's your private life.

-No, she should explain. -Bertha!

To avoid any more gossip.

You're right.

I think you have the right to know what happened.

But do me a favor.

What I tell you mustn't leave here.

Please.

It's a serious matter that affects many people,

and it's all in the past, okay?

Okay.

Marce, Marce, Marce!

They're trying to blow up your wedding!

What are you talking about?

Who wants to blow up my wedding?

The Squad!

I heard them talking about Betty.

About Betty... and Armando.

That's impossible.

Beatriz promised me she wouldn't open her mouth.

She also promised to stay away from Armando,

but she went to jail to visit him.

The Squad is going to ruin your wedding.

Beatriz lied to you.

All this was a sham.

What she wants is to get Armando back.

I'm tendering my irrevocable resignation.

Find someone else to travel to Central America

because you won't have me to kick around anymore.

Thank you, Mr. Ricardo.

This was the best decision you could have made.

It's what's best for the company, which is what matters.

You know, Beatriz, it's natural that last night's success

went to your head.

But you've got so much to learn.

One fashion show doesn't turn you into a market leader.

Girl... I mean Betty, Wilson is here.

Thank you, Sofia.

Wilson, please escort Mr. Calderon to his office

so he can get his things.

Afterward, escort him to the exit.

He is not to reenter V&M.

What is the meaning of this?

Is this your revenge?

Know that Roberto will hear of this.

It's standard procedure, Mr. Ricardo,

and it happens with every employee.

Mr. Roberto is perfectly aware that I'm following protocol.

You're nobody, Beatriz Aurora Rincon Lozano.

You're the same nobody who dreams of going far.

Who dreams of marrying the boss

and of living in a fantasy world.

You just won yourself a very powerful enemy.

Really? Who?

You?

You're not powerful.

You've always been a sidekick.

A loser.

Someone who capitalizes on the opportunities given to others

and who can't survive on his own.

Say what you want, but Armando's marrying Marcela,

and that's something you'll never be able to stop.

Don't touch me.

Don't forget that I'm a karate master, Wilson.

Hi.

Hi, Betty. How are you?

Whoa, you don't look happy. Bad day?

I don't know. It was kind of intense.

But I came because I read this card

that says you've got a surprise for me.

-Uh-huh. -Really?

Look at this.

I'm desperate for good news.

You'll see.

Wow!

That's the house you told me about.

Love at first sight.

My daughter's going to flip out

when she finds out she's going to live on the water.

It's beautiful.

Congratulations to you and your daughter.

That's cool.

But I don't get it.

What do I have to do with that?

There's the surprise, gorgeous.

Betty, I want you to be president of my brand

in the US and Latin America.

Come live in LA with me.

What do you say?

I'm excited by the idea but also conflicted about it.

I'm not as enthusiastic as you are.

Plus, I'm no good at making decisions.

What's more, I've never been apart from my parents.

What about when you went to Miami?

But those were special circumstances,

and it was only for a short time.

This appears to be indefinite.

Yes, that's true.

But I'm sure they'll understand,

and if they can't be without you,

bring them with you!

Oh, no.

No, my parents would

never leave New York.

How do you know?

You sure you're not searching for excuses

to reject my offer?

No, it's not that.

I need time to think.

Excuse me.

It's from the office. I have to go back.

Okay, just think about it.

Gorgeous. Bye.

Wilson, remember when I hired you?

Can you give me a moment?

Negative, sir. President's orders.

Well, so it's true.

You quit.

Yes.

Why?

You going to throw a party?

You know it's only a matter of time before Armando goes back

to his old self, don't you?

And then your fairy tale falls apart.

I'm not here to talk about Armando.

I just wanted to see for myself that you were leaving,

that I'd never have to see you again.

Sorry to disappoint you,

but you won't be getting rid of me that easily.
