Original subtitles

Who sent you all this?

-Joaquin. -I don't want you at V&M.

Relax, I'm not going to your office.

I'm going to mine.

I've moved my headquarters to this building.

You not only brought him to V&M so everyone can see you,

you also took him to your home.

I know I deserve this, but you have no idea how I feel.

-I'm going to call her. -No, don't do it!

-You can't stop me! -Yes, I can!

You'll keep hurting her!

-You'll keep hurting her, Armando! -I love her, Nicolas!

It was nice to realize something that...

...I didn't want to realize.

Armando loves you.

I'm the only idiot here.

For not appreciating the woman by my side.

Well, I'm right here.

I made love like never before.

With whom?

Armando!

I realized I've been so dumb

to not see everything you do for me.

I want to take a chance on us.

You don't know how happy that makes me.

Why were you kissing that guy?

You can't keep doing this to me.

The only thing I'm trying to do is start my life over,

Just like you, or will you deny

spending the night with Marcela?

Tell them I sent you.

They'll give you the best service.

-Okay. -You'll thank me.

Hey! Hi, Maria Lucia.

Mr. Ricardo,

I'm here to inform you

what's going to happen to your department

as well as to discuss the decisions I made.

I'll leave so you can talk.

No, you're not going anywhere.

You work here too.

Plus, you're a shareholder.

Continue, Beatriz.

What are your brilliant decisions?

Of course, since you never turned in that report about your area,

I restructured the whole thing.

Here it is.

So, tell me, what are your findings?

I'm dying to know.

Of course.

Since we're changing our target audience,

we also have to change our business plan.

We decided to open new markets in Central America.

Where?

No. I don't agree with that.

V&M is an exclusive brand based in New York.

We're not selling anywhere in Central America.

Ah!

The thing is, I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you what you're going to do.

Oh yeah?

Well, I won't do it.

It's my department, I'm VP of Commerce, right?

Yes, that's great,

but I'm President of V&M,

so if you don't like it,

feel free to quit whenever you like.

By the way, if you decide to stay,

Sandra will be managing your new agenda.

Excuse me.

I thought of two dresses

so you'd have two options.

Two? I was thinking of six.

-What? Six? -Six to...

-Six by six, you are... -You're so nice.

...my muse, my Gaby Espino, my goddess.

Oh, goodness.

And you're one of my favorite designers.

One of them?

The divine Hugo must be the only one.

You are the only one. I just don't tell anyone.

Well, tell them.

Fine, I won't say that to the rest.

You're my favorite designer, but you're also my friend.

I know something is going on with you.

-Can I help? -Hugo, Hugo!

You don't know what just happened!

This is an emergency. It was really aw...

-My God! -What?

You're Gaby Espino.

-Yes. Picture, picture!

I'm not a photographer.

-No, not you. -Lombardi girls,

who has a phone to take them a picture?

No, this isn't my good side.

All set. Go on. Stop wasting my time. Bye.

Lombardi girls, escort her to the exit, bye.

-You look so good! -Good bye!

-Thank you. -sorry.

-Don't be mean. -She's crazy.

so, what's going on?

-Well... -Tell me.

-I'm hanging by a thread here. -Remember

Remember the wedding you couldn't attend because you were...

Sorry, Betty,

but I don't like what you just did with Ricardo.

Respect is earned, not imposed

on your employees through fear.

Miss Maria Lucia,

I'm not trying

to impose fear on anyone.

I...

...just need our employees' support

to get the company back to where it was.

By disrespecting a shareholder?

Is that how you plan to do it?

What I witnessed wasn't just a conversation

between a president and an employee.

Forgive me for meddling,

but I don't think Ricardo is to blame

for what Armando did to you.

You don't?

Sit down, please, miss.

Watch this video.

What's up with you? Everything okay?

It just gets me...

...it gets me how much Tommy

likes Giovas.

He doesn't just like him,

he loves him.

The three of you would make a beautiful family.

You know he loves you a lot.

You just have to make up your mind already.

After that, the two of us can take the leap.

-You think? -Obviously.

You and I are a wonder duo.

This marks the beginning

of Operation Saving Private Giovas.

-Deal? -Deal.

Oh, Giovas!

What do you think now?

I'm beyond shocked.

This was very...

Ugly?

Dishonest?

Unethical?

How can you look them in the face?

I didn't tell you this

to make myself out to be a victim.

I'm also to blame.

I was wrong.

I knew Mr. Armando was in a serious relationship

with your sister,

but I fell in love.

I believed in him and in his business plan.

I'm here to make things right with you.

I'm here because I made a commitment

to my father, and to Mr. Roberto.

But I need help.

I don't know what to say, Betty.

I've never seen anything like this.

Mr. Ricardo has to

commercialize our products

in other countries, in new markets.

If he doesn't, I'll have to

let him go.

No, Betty.

I know you have every reason to, but please don't.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I only have one favor to ask.

Don't tell anyone about this conversation.

I never saw that video.

Oh, Ricardo.

What's going on with Beatriz?

-Did she say anything? -You were right.

Betty's power is getting to her head

and she shouldn't have treated you that way.

I think she went overboard.

I told you.

Beatriz is a greedy woman who just wants to keep the company.

That's why she wants me out.

I'm the only one that stands up to her.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm going to take your word more seriously.

How about us going out tonight?

Let me thank you for everything you've done for me.

Sure. Sounds good.

I have to finish up some e-mails and then I'll catch up to you.

How pretty!

-No. -Thank you so much for coming.

Here are your gift bags.

We love having you here.

Thank you, Ms. Catalina, for inviting us

to the inauguration.

How elegant, how exquisite!

Just like Betty's boyfriend. He's so handsome.

Come on, girl. Hands off Betty's man.

That's not it.

The pregnancy hormones have me all worked up.

Not here. There are too many people.

-I'm shy. -You're right.

Why don't we go somewhere more private?

Want to have dinner at my hotel?

No.

Soon, though.

I'll go get my things.

Ugh... my Lord.

Now what?

What?

Ouch!

Ouch! What happened to you?

Shocked?

Look at what your lover did to me!

I'm going to need a fake tooth

and I'll only be able to eat soft foods

so it doesn't fall out.

Oh.

-Poor you. -Oh, you're laughing?

Fine. We'll see how funny you think it is

when your concubine gets arrested for deforming my face.

Don't exaggerate.

It was just a fight between two guys.

I think he even did you a favor.

You needed some volume in your top lip.

-Are you done cracking jokes? -Yeah.

Then now I'll go report him to the police.

No, no, no. Wait.

Don't overdo it.

What? Why?

Let's make a deal.

I won't press charges against him

if you call off your wedding to that traitor.

Betty, the suites in this hotel are beautiful.

Want to see mine?

Weren't we going to get dinner?

You don't have to be suspicious of me.

I'm not.

Well, yes. A little.

look, if you're not sure, we don't have to go up.

We'll eat something here and that's that.

I won't be upset if plans change.

Okay.

I have to get this. It's important.

I'll be back in one second.

-Okay? -Fine.

All set. Shall we?

Let's go to the room.

-Are you sure? -Yes, I'm positive.

Let's go.

-Thank you. -Come in.

-You like it? -It's very big.

Would you like something to drink?

I know you don't drink so I have some juice.

The view is so pretty.

Orange juice?

Here. Betty,

I'm so happy you're here with me.

You've changed my world.

You've changed mine too. Thank you for everything.

Cheers.

You know, this isn't the only store I'm opening in the US.

I'm thinking of transferring here permanently.

What? Really?

Would you like that?

Yes, I'd love that.

What's wrong?

Betty can't be with Joaquin.

He doesn't deserve her.

Not now, Marcela.

Joaquin,

I have to tell you something.

I've tried...

...but I'm still not over Armando.

I thought you were.

You were in Miami.

Yes, but...

...here is completely different.

Did something happen between you two?

You can tell me. It's okay.

No, nothing's happened.

I just can't stop thinking about him.

Betty, your heart is confused.

That's normal.

The two of us faced our fears in Miami.

Remember?

You can do this.

Don't you want to be with me?

Then, trust me.

Let yourself go.

We're great together.

Relax.

Don't think about him anymore.

Armando is very far.

No, no. It's just that...

...that's the problem.

Armando is here.

He followed us.

I just saw him downstairs.

What?

Charly is a bad man.

He betrayed me,

his boy,

his best friend, his confidante.

See? Listen to me!

You don't mess with three things:

a man's gun,

a man's horse,

and never a man's wife.

Then what about the sleazy tramp?

Did I force you to hook up with her?

That was a betrayal.

The Jenny thing was weakness.

It was love, a mistake.

It was your fault!

-My fault? -Yes.

Why? What are you talking about?

How is that my fault?

Because you neglected me.

You were too focused on your job

and you neglected your husband.

-But listen... -I can't believe it.

No, I...

...I'll do this.

I'll leave everything in the past

because my heart is empty,

and it's waiting for you.

Look, Efrain,

you and I

are over.

We're history!

There's no going back. The end.

It's over.

Fine.

I came here to pour my heart out.

I stood here before you, naked.

And you're being very cruel.

It hurts.

Just don't forget

that you're the one

who chose her destiny.

Then, I'll be unforgiving...

...Sofia.

God! He's such a drama queen.

"Thofia."

Why didn't you tell me he was in the lobby?

Why did you come up to my suite?

To make Armando jealous?

No!

That wasn't it.

I just didn't want him to ruin our moment.

That's why I came up.

In the end he did ruin our moment.

I... I want to be with you.

Are you sure?

Because what I can see in your eyes,

is suffering.

I know Armando won't give you up.

But you, Betty,

do you still want to be with him, Betty?

No.

I don't want to be with Armando anymore.

Who's giving me that answer?

Rational Betty,

or the one who speaks from the heart?

Come, let's go.

I'll take you home.

It's for the best.

There's nothing I can do anymore.

Betty made her choice.

Joaquin, I wanted to explain...

...what I mean is...

Betty, sometimes it's best not to say anything.

Why the sudden change of opinion?

The last time we spoke, you were very sure

about letting Ricardo manage all your money.

All I can say is that I'm taking your advice.

I'm going to take my time.

Good. Very good.

As your attorney, and most of all as your friend

and a friend of the family,

I have to say that you're making the right choice.

When it comes to money, it's best to act wisely,

even if we are talking about Ricardo.

He's exactly who I want to talk about.

I need your help with something.

What do you need?

Hold on.

It's him.

Hi.

I was just about to call. How's it going?

I'm about to leave.

Shall we leave together or meet at the restaurant?

I'm sorry, but I really don't feel like going out.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents' death.

I'd like to go to bed early.

Can we talk tomorrow? You don't mind, right?

No, not at all. Don't worry.

I'm tired too. I'm going to bed.

Oh, Gaby.

You don't know how much I enjoy talking to you.

I really needed it.

I still don't forgive you for not telling me.

-I know. -No, well,

a shared burdens weighs less.

And I know a thing or two about it.

-You want to have dinner with me? -Let's go.

-I know a wonderful place. -Of course.

I'd go anywhere with you, beautiful.

Hey.

I envy you, Hugo, always surrounded by beautiful women.

How are you?

I haven't seen you in so long.

How are you? Did you get married?

-Me? -You didn't?

No way. Don't wish that on me...

-...please. -Please.

If it were to you, though, I'd be thrilled.

-Come on! -Goddesses

never descend

to mingle with mortals like you.

Right? I thought you came down here

to check out my new collection, but no.

You only come around when there are models,

or to stare at my goddesses and muses.

I could never.

My biggest concern is the clothing and how it fits.

How they look.

Let me tell you, wow.

-Shall we? -Thank you, thank you.

You never change. Do you?

-Let's go, I'm starving. -Let's go.

Let's go.

Oh, girls!

Careful with this one.

He goes through women like tissues.

He's nothing but a womanizer.

-That's not true. -Let's go.

Don't believe him.

Here we are, Amoroso.

Betty left us for someone else.

I have to move on.

If she could,

so can I.

Go on. Tell me, sweetie.

Don't be so quiet.

How did it go?

Where did he take you for dinner?

To his hotel.

To his hotel?

Was there a restaurant there?

Of course!

Give me a break, mom!

The chef there is super famous.

He's renowned.

He's won five-star awards and has a bunch of Michelin awards.

Oh, well! That sounds good.

He can't be bad with all those stars, right?

Joaquin likes fine dining and the finer things.

Let's just not tell your father

-that Joaquin took you to the hotel. -No.

Demetrio wouldn't like it.

You know how old-fashioned he is.

He's vintage.

Yes, vintage.

Joaquin wouldn't take you anywhere bad, right?

No. Joaquin's a gentleman.

He'd never hurt me.

Yes.

Joaquin is a gentleman...

not like that other man I won't even mention.

I'm so glad you found a guy like Joaquin.

Smart, handsome, and a good person.

What type of food did you have?

I didn't eat. I wasn't hungry.

Mom...

I can't.

I can't get Armando out of my heart.

Sweetie, no.

Even after everything he's done?

Use your head, sweetie.

The heart doesn't think.

The heart is so stupid sometimes!

I know.

Everyone tells me I'm smart,

but I really want to fall in love with Joaquin,

and I can't.

Armando is still there all the time.

And when I feel like I'm getting over him,

he shows up out of nowhere.

He showed up?

-How come? -Yes.

Yes, I was finally starting to have a nice time with Joaquin

and there he was in the middle of the hotel.

It makes me so mad.

I don't know how to get him out of my heart.

As much as I try, his memory still haunts me.

I can't do it.

-I don't like this. -Relax, sweetie. Calm down.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You can't rule over your heart,

but you can make decisions with your head.

Listen to me.

No matter what happens and no matter what you do,

I'll always be here for you.

You know that, right?

-Here she comes. -Yeah?

-Get in position! -How do I look?

What are you doing at my desk with your...

...bags from...

Brand-spanking new

Joaquin de Quiroz designer bags.

Not used even once.

Which also bring gift bags inside.

How cool.

How did you pay for this?

You maxed out your cards?

No, I know. Layaway!

No, not at all.

No, babe.

Joaquin himself gave each of us

one when he got here.

Oh, yes!

He also gave each one of us

a very expensive, and very exclusive perfume.

The smell matches our personalities.

Cool, I hope it helps you get rid

of that stripper personality

-you have. -Yeah!

Move! I have a lot of work,

something you all know nothing about.

Take your stuff off my desk right now.

-Sure thing. -Marce!

Marce!

Oh, girl! Wait for me!

Good morning.

There's nothing good about it.

How did it go last night?

I bet it was wonderful.

I don't feel like talking about that.

Why not? Are you ashamed?

Or tell me,

wasn't it that good?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm not doing anything to you.

Better yet, why don't you tell me why were you there?

Were following me yesterday?

I wanted to see how far you were capable of going.

But I can see you have no limits.

-Betty... -Don't touch me.

You have no say in my life. You've never had one.

I don't love you anymore.

-Giovas. -Ah!

-Did I scare you? -No, not at all.

Look.

Tommy sent you this.

-For me? -Yes.

-Wow! -Obviously, the spider is Lolita.

And,

who are those two holding his hands?

You and I.

Oh!

He says he was very happy.

It was really very special...

...for you to join us, buy groceries,

and have dinner like we used to.

If you'll allow me to be honest,

I also really enjoyed

spending time together, like we used to.

I hope it happens again soon.

Can it be tonight?

Mariana, you should wear a rattle around your neck.

Rattles are for snakes, babe.

Giovanni can't join you this evening

because we have plans.

Why don't you take a taxi

or ride the subway?

Or call one of your little friends that you like so much?

Let's go, Giovanni.

-What plans do we have? -Some.

Oh, sure.

You're the snake!

No, calm down.

Sit down.

I thought the meeting was with your miss, father.

I mean your father, miss.

Thank you. How sweet.

Actually, I manage several of my family's companies.

I specialize in the problematic ones.

In fact, I have a reputation for being unforgiving.

Yes, I can see that

that look in your eyes,

doesn't lie.

Hi!

I brought Patri-coffee for your lovely meeting.

Cindy Anderson.

How beautiful.

Time sure flies, doesn't it?

It seems like just yesterday,

when we used to run into each other at Manhattan's

finest events.

And you had no manners, of course.

You could barely use a fork, remember?

How's your dad? Good?

I'm assuming he's not mad anymore.

You have no idea.

She crashed her convertible because she was drunk.

I haven't seen you at any parties in so long.

Well, ever since you got divorced.

I do remember your name, though.

Pathetic, right?

-Patricia. -Pathetic!

But everyone called you Pathetic.

Pathetic Patty. Patty- pathetic, makes sense.

How funny.

I'm so sorry!

Your jacket was so nice too.

No worries.

Don't worry. I'm sure we have something around.

I don't want you to catch the flu. I'll go find something.

Don't worry. I'm usually topless

on the beach.

Oh boy, it just went from six to noon.

This is a respectable office!

People here wear clothes.

You can't be dressed... undressed like that!

You can't! Nico...

-...Nicolas! -Cover them up!

Cover them up!

I'll be right back. I'll bring something.

Yeah, no, Wait! Hey! Wait!

-That's good, but... -Don't come back.

I think that you have

no problem that I'm like this, right?

No, no! Cover yourself up!

They'll get cold!

Your shoulders, that is.

-Oh. -Cover them up!

Or maybe like this instead.

-Like this? -That's better, right?

It's getting colder. You're starting to grow on me.

Ms. Anderson, look,

my only option is to negotiate.

Well, let's get down to business, right?

I know that if you think our business arrangement

isn't going well,

and you want to call a board meeting, and you want me

there, then I'll be there.

Of course I will!

What planet are you from?

I might be a little ugly, but I'm not an alien.

Don't make fun of me, Anderson.

Oh, I love it!

-Right here. -Really?

Here, next to the taxi.

I feel like a real badass,

like I'm in a Tom Cruise movie.

-You know the one? -Which one?

Mission Impossible.

That's the one. I pronounce it with a London accent,

you know?

-Sure. -I don't want anyone here,

any of those fat slobs to see me with you,

because they'd run, and tell my love bug.

and I don't want him finding out.

He's got a quarter million dollars.

Well, at the rate he's spending it,

more like 1/16th of a million,

but whatever.

No, we have to do something.

I know.

We'll go to City Hall, you eat a banana,

and throw the peel on the floor so he slips and dies.

No? No, right?

Jenny, darling, sweetie, there are ways...

Sweetie? What's that?

-Oh, sweetie 'cause I'm sweet. -There are...

...more effective ways of doing business.

I have friends with very interesting financial models.

If you were to invest a certain amount,

you'll make back

10 or 15 times what you put in in three months.

Really?

-Tell me more. -Well...

Tell me more.

Hi.

How are you?

Fine, and you?

how are you? Doing better?

No.

No. I'm still not well.

Because of last night.

I wanted to apologize for being unable

to get Armando out of my head, and

-just when I finally... -I totally understand, Betty.

Don't forget that I'm divorced and have a 10-year-old.

It's a painful process, but everybody's different.

I just want not to suffer anymore.

But you can't forget Armando,

that's keeping you from moving on.

Look at how far you can get when you leave the past behind.

You must focus on the present.

I really do want that.

That's why I'm going to keep my distance.

You need to make a decision.

What do you mean?

I'm going on a business trip.

I consider opening a third store in Los Angeles.

Oh, but you'll be back?

Yeah.

But use this time alone

to think with both your head and your heart

about what you want.

I love you, Betty.

I love you with all my heart and all my soul.

I made my move.

Now you have to make yours.

You've got to take the leap,

and when you do,

I'll be here waiting for you.

I hate signing on these things.

I mean, look at my signature.

It looks like a chicken signed that.

What's that, Patricia?

You get tickets to another concert

in which they play pre-hysteric music?

No!

I got

a bracelet with diamonds,

real diamonds.

My man's amazing.

I don't have to cook for him,

I don't have to wash his clothes,

or put up with any attitude to get everything I want.

Yeah, but why would you cook anyway?

He's on a liquid diet,

he can't chew things anymore.

For your information,

David White treats me

like a queen

and he's always showing me

that he's willing to spend his entire fortune on me.

Oh, Patricia,

even I'm starting to like the guy.

May I help you with anything?

Yes, Patricia.

Please order something to eat.

I'll be with Cindy in the boardroom.

She's a vegetarian.

And congrats on your ideal man, Patri.

Ah! Patricia!

Where's that lunatic

with those hideous yellow eyes?

Where is she?

Her name is Cindy, she's in the bathroom,

and please don't call her that.

-Thanks. -Oh!

Sorry, it won't happen again.

Here, this is what you're eating.

Patricia, eh...

...this is meat, and Cindy's a vegetarian.

-Thanks. -Oh, okay.

Then, I'll go to the lobby,

find a flowerpot, cut some leaves off,

and bring them to her so she'll be more comfortable.

Patricia, what's wrong with you?

Why are you like this?

What's wrong?

You told me that I...

...was the love of your life.

But you obviously

lied because you swapped me

out for her.

Now she's a bottle blond.

Didn't you notice her burned highlights?

You should get the poor thing a wig.

Look, Patricia,

you were the one who did that to me.

Aren't you with that David White?

Didn't you go after him for his money?

You never wanted to go anywhere with me,

but with him you go everywhere, photographing yourself...

Are you calling me a gold-digger?

For your information, Nicolas,

I don't need money.

I'm with him because...

...he's an interesting...

...man.

Him or his bank accounts, Patricia?

I won't let you offend me.

But since I'm your secretary,

you think you can treat me like garbage, right?

Patricia,

my heart is what you've treated like garbage.

I'm in love with you,

but you don't get that.

No! Get over there!

-Ouch! -Let me tell you something.

You're making a fool of yourself with Cindy.

A woman like her would never be interested in you.

You're awful!

-Gross! -Ouch!

So you're

hooking up with your secretary.

-Well... -I can't believe it!

I never would've thought.

You know what, though?

I think I know how I can help you.

Huh? How?

Good morning.

Mrs. Julia.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but nobody was out there,

so I just walked in, unannounced.

I think that would be better.

May I have a few minutes?

I need to speak with you in private.

Of course, ma'am. Please sit down.

-Thank you. -How may I help you?

Me? With nothing.

But you'd be a big help if you stopped being such a nuisance.

I don't understand.

You and I have had several conversations

about this same subject.

My daughter, Betty.

Why won't you leave her alone?

Ma'am, I...

You toyed with her feelings,

and you used her.

You may not understand,

but my daughter has really suffered

because of you.

And now she has a chance to be happy.

Yes. With Joaquin.

With him.

A man who makes her feel good,

self-confident,

valued, and loved.

He appreciates,

-and respects her. -Yes, it's clear to me that

-you chose him for a son-in-law. -No.

No, you've got it all wrong.

I didn't choose him.

It's up to her to choose.

But Betty can't do that

if you keep turning up

sabotaging her dreams.

Sabotaging her dreams?

Do you know who she dreams about?

No, I don't.

But I do know my daughter deserves to be happy...

-Believe me... -...Mr. Mendoza.

...I want her to be happy.

Don't worry, ma'am.

I got the message loud and clear last night

that your daughter doesn't love me or need me.

If she's to be happy with another man, so be it.

So don't worry.

I'll leave her alone. Anything else?

No, that was all.

-Thank you very much. -Of course.
