Bodyguard Seduction

Are you ready for me?

You look great.

It's all about how fabulous you are,

so it should be super easy.

So, how's your love life?

Completely uneventful.

Oh, come on.

Charly Huxton's love life uneventful?

You were voted Model of the Year twice.

Three times, actually.

You're the co-founder and CEO of your own fashion line.

You're single, you're gorgeous.

You're not dating anybody?

I'm not going there.

Dylan Tanner?

What about him?

He's one of the biggest movie stars on the planet

and you married him.

We all make mistakes.

I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor about it.

You've been divorced for 14 months.

Yes.

And in the process, completely reinvented yourself

as a business mogul.

Do you ever wake up and think,

"Ah, what a difference a year makes"?

Honestly, no.

I've completely moved on and I couldn't be happier.

Now, Singular Sportswear went public last month

and became one of the hottest stocks on Wall Street.

Now, some say that you owe your company's success

to the publicity of your breakup with Dylan.

Are they right or wrong?

I'd say I was doing quite well before Dylan came along.

I'm sorry, you know I have to ask this.

The producers push me to ask these questions,

so I'm gonna do it one more time.

The question on everyone's mind is,

is there a new man in your life?

What do you say?

Well, you can ask me the same thing a million times.

No comment.

All right.

You win this time,

but next time, I am gonna get that out of you.

Mm, we'll see.

That was great, thank you.

Before you ask, it went fine.

So she didn't want to know who you were dating?

Of course she did.

A woman can't run a Fortune 500 company

without a man by her side.

Lucky for you, there isn't one.

Ha, your sarcasm is duly noted.

Anyway, you're all I need, partner.

- So what's up? - What's up

is that Godfrey was just in my office

on a tirade about how you've been overruling him again.

He's our lead designer, not you.

Godfrey's a prima donna and we pay him way too much.

Do you even know how much he's being paid?

I try to stay focused on the big picture.

The details are your department, thank goodness.

Look, I hired Godfrey because I believe in his ideas.

I'm also the one with the fashion design background,

not you.

Look, when we started the company,

we decided that I would be the face of the brand.

Now if you or the board has a problem

with the way I do things, you can force me out.

Not while you control 51%.

Oh, that's right, I forgot.

Hey, we're a team, you know that.

Look, all kidding aside,

you need to make peace with him

and you need to do it today.

Fine, I'll pucker up and kiss his ass

when I get back to the office.

I promise.

Thank you.

- Lunch later? - Ah, we'll see.

I've got a lot on my plate.

Well, I hope not too much.

You're my rock, Lark.

Don't I know it.

Too blue, too red.

Too--I rejected this design last week.

Yes, Ms. Huxton, but, uh, Godfrey said--

Godfrey works for me, not the other way around.

Where is he?

He's, uh, he's...

Mindy, breathe.

You're my assistant,

that means you have permission to speak clearly.

He's in your office.

What do you think you're doing in my office?

And that's my computer.

- I'm so sorry. - I had to check a file.

And you gave him my password?

I didn't, I just unlocked it for him.

He said you'd be okay with it.

Do I look like I'm okay with it?

I don't know why you're laughing.

She's not the only one

who's gonna have to dust off that résumé.

You can't fire me without just cause.

Without cause?

You just threw every rule we have about privacy

and workplace boundaries out the window.

Oh, you want to talk to me about boundaries?

That's rich.

What was I supposed to do,

just sit back and let you ruin months of work?

I had to make sure you're not altering more of my designs

- behind my back. - Oh, please.

You are lucky all I'm doing is firing you,

now get out!

You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

When you said dust off that résumé,

did you mean mine too?

Yes, yours too.

Okay, guys, and cut.

That's a cut for today.

Okay, guys, we're gonna be back in five, back in five.

Talent, get some rest.

Get some water, guys. Great job.

Okay, I'll play.

What's that all about, Vargas?

He's gonna run lines with her.

Is she an actress? I don't recognize her.

She's an extra,

but I think she's about to get a speaking role.

- Wow. - Hey.

We just work for the guy, right?

We don't ask questions.

We need to talk.

He comes back over my dead body.

I understand why you got rid of the intern, but Godfrey?

The board's not gonna like this.

Are you serious?

The only thing that would have been worse

is if they'd been screwing on my desk.

You should have discussed it with me first.

You're right. Mea culpa.

Oh, no, no, you don't get out of it that easily.

Admit it, you wanted to go in a different direction

and this was the perfect excuse.

Where is this coming from all of a sudden?

All of a sudden?

You've been fighting me on every major decision

for a year now.

- I'm on your side, you know. - That is so not true.

Yes, it is.

I am the co-founder of this company.

And yet you make me feel

like I'm just another one of your flunkies.

That's ridiculous.

Why are you taking this so personally?

What Godfrey did was unforgivable and you know it.

He was going through all my personal messages and emails.

Now I don't mean to sound harsh,

but can you please just do your job

and find somebody else?

Graph B shows our earnings over the last quarter.

As you can see, the Be Singular campaign

is still generating strong sales and awareness for us

across all major demographics and product lines.

And when does the new campaign drop?

It'll be in major markets by the end of the month.

Good, the sooner the better.

Wait, this month?

I thought we agreed on Christmas.

I decided to move it up.

You decided? But we're a team.

We need to build on this momentum, Lark.

We discussed it and there's no reason to wait.

We did not discuss it.

Come on, we all knew what you would say.

You're saying it now.

So my opinion doesn't count, is that it?

You'll just pat me on the head

and do whatever you want anyway?

No.

You know what, um, it's been a crazy morning,

we're all a little tired.

Why don't we just table this conversation

until after lunch, okay?

About time one of us gets out of here.

I've been here since 5:00 a.m.

So have I.

Okay.

So how do you want to handle this?

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors again?

Okay.

How 'bout we, uh, flip a coin, like adults?

Because I know you probably don't have one

after getting cleaned out at the poker table last night.

That's funny.

Rock every single time.
