IF YOU WANT TO GET THIS CONTRACT OVER WITH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, QUIT THE FACTORY FIRST.
WHAT?
BUT MY LIVING EXPENSES...
I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR LIVING EXPENSES.
SO JUST FOCUS ON ME.
WELL? FEEL LIKE GOING ALL-IN ON ME NOW?
THE SCARS WILL HEAL SOON.
AND I'VE PRESCRIBED SOME PAINKILLERS SINCE I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT NEED THEM.
GOOD JOB. YOU MAY LEAVE.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THE CULPRIT?
DID YOU SEE THEIR FACE?
...NO. AND I DON'T PLAN ON CATCHING THEM.
WHAT?
THERE'S A STORY BEHIND IT... THAT I CAN'T TALK ABOUT.
I'M REALLY OKAY.
SO YOU'RE SAYING WE SHOULD JUST LET THEM GO?
...YES.
HOW COULD I EVER CAPTURE ISABEL?
HER LIFE WAS RUINED BECAUSE OF ME.
YOU MUST'VE LOST YOUR MIND AFTER GETTING HURT!
WHY IS HE GETTING SO ANGRY?
IS HE WORRIED IT'LL DISRUPT OUR FAKE AFFAIR?
BECAUSE NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO MY PERSONAL SAFETY.
YOU LOOK SLEEPY. IT MUST BE BECAUSE OF THE PAINKILLERS.
NO, I'M NOT. I SHOULD BE GOING NOW.
SLEEP HERE TONIGHT.
B-BUT...
DON'T WORRY AND SLEEP TIGHT.
I WON'T COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS ROOM.
WHY IS MY HEART FLUTTERING AT THAT!
GET A GRIP, VIOLETA HERNANDEZ.
HE'S JUST PUTTING ON AN ACT FOR THE AFFAIR!
HOW DARE SHE LEAVE ME OUT?
YOUR HIGHNESS, ARE YOU STILL IN A BAD MOOD?
SHUT UP, DANTE.
THAT CRAZY B*TCH CLAIRE DIDN'T EVEN SEND ME AN INVITATION TO HER CABARET OPENING!
YOU THINK I SHOULDN'T BE ANGRY?
OH COME ON, MADAME PROBABLY JUST FORGOT.
THERE'S NO WAY SHE WOULD PURPOSELY NOT SEND YOU ONE.
THAT WOMAN IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
CONSIDERING SHE'S ONLY ALIVE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF ME.
THE CROWN PRINCE WAS INVITED BUT SAID HE WASN'T GOING ANYWAY,
SO CAN'T YOUR HIGHNESS JUST ATTEND IN HIS PLACE?
WHAT?
IS THERE NOTHING BUT SH*T INSIDE YOUR HEAD?
IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WHETHER I GO OR NOT, DANTE LOPEZ. IT'S ABOUT HER RUINING MY REPUTATION.
YOU'RE MAKING ME EVEN MORE ANNOYED. TSK.
YOUR HIGHNESS, IT'S ME.
COME IN.
SO, WHAT'S THE REASON HE BOUGHT OUT THE TEXTILE FACTORY?
I HEARD THE OWNER OWED A DEBT TO DUKE OTERO.
HE COULDN'T PAY IT OFF IN TIME, SO HE HANDED OVER THE FACTORY.
IS THAT REALLY ALL?
YES, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE MOVEMENTS AT THE FACTORY EITHER.
WHAT ABOUT ANY RELATIONSHIPS WITH WOMEN?
YES. THERE WERE NONE.
NONE?
ALRIGHT, THEN. YOU MAY LEAVE.
YES, YOUR HIGHNESS.
The man, wanting to expedite the contract, asks the woman to leave the factory and says he will cover her living expenses and wants her to focus only on him. The injured woman gets painkillers from the doctor and does not want her attacker caught; she says Isabel's life was ruined because of her. The man gets angry, cites her safety, and offers for her to spend the night with him. The woman's heart flutters with confusion. Elsewhere, Her Grace is furious that Claire did not invite her to the cabaret opening and bickers with Dante; she then learns that Duke Otero acquired Duke Otero's textile factory in exchange for debt and that he has no relationships with women.
