Are you all right?
Yeah. I'm better.
It's just that...
That's never going to happen again.
Betty, you're going to have to learn to control yourself.
You know I'm here for you.
You can count on me no matter how you feel.
Was the kiss... bad?
Armand.
Armand!
Your 11:00 is here.
Mr. Anderson is here.
I think you were invited to the meeting too.
-Please come in. -Thanks.
Sit at the head.
Armando and Ricardo will be here soon.
Okay.
It's great to see you.
We had such a good time last time we saw each other.
Do we know each other?
Of course we do.
We were introduced in the lobby of the MET.
I was married to Mauricio Goldberg.
Really? I don't remember.
How have you been?
Good.
I thought Goldberg was separated.
Yeah, exactly.
I used to be married to him. Past tense.
Right now I'm alone
and you know that solitude in this city is... horrible.
You get me, right?
I mean, as far as I know you're alone too.
You're a widower, right?
That is correct.
We should keep each other company.
I think we could do lots of things together.
We could go to dinner, have a few drinks,
talk about business.
I studied finance at the DUI for three semesters.
That's why I'm here. I'm Armando's advisor.
-Really? -Uh-huh.
-Jack, how are you? -Armando.
How are things around here?
-Hey, how are you? -Good to see you.
I don't think you've met Beatriz Rincon.
She's my assistant, my right-hand.
Beatriz, nice to meet you. How are you?
Patricia, please bring water and coffee for everyone.
Me?
Yes, you want me to do it?
Now that you ask, yes. I'd like that.
I'll go.
Excuse me.
Hey, Marce.
Why aren't you at the meeting with the millionaire?
They're all there, Ricky, Armando, the monster.
They're all there with Mr. Anderson.
Why aren't you there?
Because I have no business there, Patricia.
What do you mean? I'd kill to be there...
with that handsome billionaire.
Hold on.
He's an old man, for God's sake.
You're so superficial, Marce.
There's beauty beyond youth.
And where's his beauty? In his billions?
What's your problem with me today?
You're so sour. What happened?
Nothing. I mean, imagine.
Now I have to put up with Beatriz' private life too.
Excuse me, Ms. Marcela. Can you sign these documents?
Yes, thanks.
Can you believe that her boyfriend had an accident today
and she ran out like a lunatic?
Oh, the poor thing!
Try to understand, Marce. She's so ugly.
If he dies, she'll be alone the rest of her life.
Thanks, Mariana.
I think this one is into Santeria.
Of course not.
Poor Betty. No wonder she ran out.
Girls, do you think Nicolas is seriously hurt?
I don't know.
Information, Marianita. You're so irresponsible.
You can't just drop the headline and leave us hanging.
This isn't gossip. It's just "goss."
The "ip" is missing.
Oh, really? What should I have said?
"Ms. Marcela, give me the 411. The Squad needs details."
Sorry.
Poor Betty.
Bad things are always happening to her.
It's like she has a dark cloud over her.
All right, girls. That's enough.
Now that you know why Betty left,
don't hound her with questions.
Wait for her to tell us.
Wait for Betty?
It's hopeless.
She's so reserved. She won't tell us anything.
If he dies, she won't invite us to his funeral.
Oh, come on!
I don't have a black dress.
Stop it.
The collection has potential. I won't deny it.
But my stores have a different concept.
Right, but V&M can take on any challenge.
Besides, we have Hugo Lombardi's designs
and you know he's talented.
We need to review that closely, especially the profit margin.
Sure.
Beatriz, did a thorough study of potential buyers
so we can make a solid investment
and create an appropriate commercial model.
-Beatriz. -Huh.
-The study. -Oh, right.
Here it is.
Sorry.
We'll give you time so you can review it with your advisors
and then give us an answer. Sound good?
If we close this deal,
the collection will have to be really special.
Our target will be very exclusive.
-Okay? -Great.
All right, you'll hear from me soon.
Thank you for everything, Jack. See you.
-Pleasure. -Thank you, Jack.
-Pleasure. -The pleasure is ours.
Goodbye.
Pleasure.
At this very moment, Jack is meeting with Mendoza
to make a deal with V&M.
His lawyers have a proposal ready.
It'll be a collection of exclusive clothing.
No, Mata.
As Jack's advisor, you're going to stop that deal.
I know V&M isn't doing well.
I don't want anyone to help Armando.
But that wasn't my mission.
I'm keeping my end of the bargain.
Jack met with the president of the textile company in India.
He's about to sell.
I've encouraged him, persuaded him,
-and convinced him... -Mata!
Stop it.
I need to buy those shares as soon as possible
before the market reactivates and they realize it's a trap.
I'm doing the best I can.
I'm risking my neck here.
If anyone finds out I'm a corporate spy,
I could go to jail, to the clink, to the slammer...
Mata! You won't go to prison.
Besides, I don't know why you're complaining.
You'll get a good commission, one like never before.
And remember, you're building your future
and your independence.
You need to think big, Mata.
Betty.
Is everything all right?
I've never seen you so quiet at a business meeting.
I don't know what happened, sir.
But the study we gave Mr. Anderson was clear.
Yeah.
-Betty. -Huh?
Tonight, you and I are going out.
-Again? -Yes, it's necessary.
We need to talk about what's going on between us.
It has to be far from the company.
We haven't been able to talk here.
What if they suspect? Is it wise?
We have to do this. It's necessary, okay?
We'll meet at yesterday's place.
What will I say at home?
You work in fashion. It's normal for you to be busy.
See you there at about nine.
But isn't that too late?
I have to make an appearance at a cocktail party,
but as soon as I'm done, I'll go meet you, okay?
Betty, don't let me down. Can I count on you?
I'm going to take in the bust so it's perfect.
Look at you. You look beautiful.
Girls, before I forget, you have to tell me.
Is it true Rosemary's baby has a boyfriend?
Yes!
Believe or not!
And according to the cheapie platoon,
the man is swimming in cash.
No, no, I don't believe it.
That's what I said. I don't believe it.
Only a complete loser could be attracted to that bat!
People have different tastes, Patricia.
Nah!
Besides, who could be her boyfriend?
Possibly someone awful like her.
Can you imagine if they decide to procreate?
Ugh.
We're all set here.
-How are you feeling? -I love it!
Now, I need you to promise you won't gain a single ounce
from now until the wedding.
If there ever is a wedding.
Ow!
Hugo, you hit me hard! What's your problem?
That was a mean comment.
And coming from the supposed wedding planner?
Your friend is no good. Get rid of her.
It was a joke.
You look beautiful.
I'm going to change.
All right, tell me something.
Why are all bottle blondes so jealous?
I admit I was drunk,
but it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
It was the only way I could lie to Betty.
Hey. Are you listening to me?
Yeah. Sure.
I was just thinking about how to respond in a concrete
and precise manner. Here's what I came up with.
If it's that hard, you'll have to do the same tonight.
Take her to the same place from yesterday,
the one I suggested.
What if I take her another day?
No, no way.
Remember, this Nicolas guy is in her house.
You need to find a way to trump the strategic edge
that he has over you.
Easy for you to say. You're not in my shoes.
-Excuse me? -Uh-huh.
I had to do it with crazy Patricia.
Did you forget?
It's your turn at bat.
For this lie to work, you need to sell it.
The only way to do that is to make this a full contact sport.
Stop comparing.
I don't know if you're a VP anymore,
or a sports commentator or a pimp.
I'm all three, and your strategist.
Take Betty to the same secret place.
Give her a couple of kisses. Not one, a couple.
-Two? -Yes.
And don't complain.
The worst one was the first and you already did it.
You weren't even drunk. Relax. You can do it.
-Two? -Two.
Betty, I can with you to the hospital to visit Nicolas.
Oh, yeah! I'd love to go too.
That way I'll meet Nicolas.
No, he's feeling better and...
Girls, don't push it.
Can't you tell Betty wants to be alone with her boyfriend?
Betty, don't listen to them. They're dying to meet him.
Ines, don't act like you don't want to meet him.
Betty, don't you have his picture so we can see him?
Yeah!
No, like I mentioned before, he's not big on social media
or pictures. He's not into selfies.
Good for him.
What's the point of taking pictures
of every little thing you do throughout the day?
She wants to be with him alone. Am I right, Betty?
Well, enjoy it while you can.
You know that all men eventually screw up
and nothing lasts forever.
Oh, God!
Away with that negativity, Sofia.
Get rid of it!
Yeah. Go away, dark cloud.
Betty, people talk from experience.
Oh, that's rich coming from the single one
who's had plenty of stable relationships.
Sure, I might be single,
but that's only because I haven't met my Prince Charming,
but when I do, we'll be together forever.
I've put it out there in the universe
and now I just have to wait.
Girl, keep having fun with your man.
That's exactly what I'm going to do.
Bye, girls.
Bye.
-Bye. -See you.
It's so obvious she's smitten with Nicolas.
Let's go, girl.
Isn't love great?
I want that too.
Cool it.
