- Next week, we'll start hiring - "Episode 9"
We want secretaries, sales people and even tailors
You can apply for one of them if you want
If you want my advice apply for the sales department
Sales? You must be kidding me
No, I'm not kidding, I'm serious I'm very serious
You want me to be a salesperson in my dad's company?
If my father was alive he would've given you the same advice
- Believe me - Don't speak for him
My father, who you've taken his place
would've never let you talk to me like this
Keep your voice down Keep your voice down
You should understand that you can't manage a place you know nothing about
How?
You've been away all these years Can you run this place?
Sure I can, have you forgotten that I was raised here?
I've been away all these years
I studied, worked hard and gained experience in management
What is your experience?
You barely finished your college
Look Youssef, I won't let you talk to me like this
I know how to take what's mine
Do you want me to work as a salesperson in my dad's company after all?
You know, mother? Youssef is playing it well
There are a lot of things we don't know about him
First, he engaged Mira to get her father's money
Now, he won't let me run what's mine in my father's company?
May God forgive dad for what he did to us
However, I'm not gonna stand still Even if I had to sue him
What do you mean? Sue him? You're talking nonsense!
- Do you want me to do nothing? - Of course not
I know that you won't like what I'm about to say
But logically, you should accept his offer
Accept his offer?
Alright, let's assume I did
If my friends and yours saw me what will they say?
I don't care about our friends you shouldn't care either
It's about your future and mine, too
We should do anything to guarantee having one
Wrap your head about it
What do you mean? Tell me
Listen to me carefully, Yara
When your father was alive our life was stable
despite all the troubles we had at Dentelle
But now, everything is different it can't be like before
There is Youssef, and your uncle who we don't know what's he's planning to do
That's why, you should take any chance to get a foothold at the company
Do you understand?
Why should I waive what's mine if I'm one of the owners?
If this is the only way to take what's yours then do it
If Youssef was doing this out of love
Then, you should show him that you can handle it
However, if he wanted to take what's yours as you think
Then, you should be smarter than him and accept the offer
Mom, this is the first time I feel that you don't trust Youssef
No, that's not it, but...
The only sure thing with everything happening, we're the weakest links
As I told you, we should learn how to adapt with every situation
Did you like it, Mrs. Souhair?
I think we should tighten it, 2 cm on each side won't that be better?
Yes, I can modify it as you like don't worry at all, it'll be better
- Okay - Hi, dear
- It needs to be tightened - Hi, my love
Why did you come back early? Is there anything wrong?
No, nothing, I just forgot some papers at the office, I came to take them
Okay
Isn't this the one I brought you from London?
- Indeed, Rola is modifying it a bit - It's very nice
It's nice, right?
Do you want me to wait outside Mrs. Souhair?
Yes, give us a minute
No, stay here, I'm not gonna stay for long, we'll talk later
Are you coming back to have dinner?
If Rola is gonna modify your clothes like this then, sure I'll come back
- Really? You're saying it to my face? - Dear, we'll talk later
- Bye, dear - Bye
- So we'll tighten it 2 cm on each side - Alright then
No need at all
Yes Yara, what is it?
I apologize for what happened today
Don't worry about it
Is there anything else you want to say?
I wanted to tell you that I've thought about your offer, I accept it
I'll work at Dentelle
Great, that's what I've expected from you
But you need to talk to Mr. Amin
I don't want to apply and not be accepted
Don't worry about that Just apply, I'll take care of it
Thanks
Yara?
When you go through this experience and witness everything
You'll realize that I wanted what's best for you
- None of it is as you thought - I'm sure
You'll change your mind about me
Go to sleep, let me finish my work
- Good night - Good night
- What's wrong? - Nothing
- My mother wasn't well last week - Is she sick?
She had pneumonitis but she's better now
If she's better now why are you still upset then?
Imagine that someone told you, by mistake
that the most important person in your life is suffering
while you're oblivious to that
Perhaps they don't want you to get worried
My sister told me that, but it's not an excuse
I'd rather get worried sick about her than not knowing anything
Saed, aren't you overreacting?
No, hold on, I get that
When I left my family at the village to come to Beirut, I had the same feeling
I always felt there's something they're not telling me about
Don't laugh at me I used to cry alone at night
Then, I came to terms with the fact
That whatever will happen, will happen whether I'm there or not, right?
- We can't run away from our destiny - You're right
But it's awful to live like this, it's difficult
Yes, that's awful
But you shouldn't blame yourself
You're the best friend of all times
- Falafel or pastries? - Falafel
Can we switch?
I knew it!
Look at this, it's so pretty what do you think?
It's pretty, but you have one just like it
Choose something other than animal prints
Have you thought about Croatia for New Year's eve?
- You and Youssef should come with us - I wish, but it's not gonna happen
You suck!
It's not possible to ask him now with everything he's going through
to travel with my friends for New Year's eve? It won't work
On the contrary, because of everything he went through
I'm sure he needs to relax a little to change scenery
Poor him, he doesn't laugh at all he doesn't even smile
- I didn't see his teeth - They are so pretty, dear
Youssef is just confused with everything he's going through
But he's so funny and outgoing unlike what you thought of him
Forget it dear, it doesn't matter what I think of him
You'll marry him, not me
Right, he doesn't get comfortable around people easily, you know?
- Sometimes, I think he's shy around me - Shy?
No, you shouldn't accept that
Let your mother, sister or any adult to talk to
What's the matter with you, you crazy? What's going on?
Youssef was wild in America
But when he decided to settle down and fall in love, he chose me
With everything he's going through he decided not to postpone the wedding
He didn't leave me
You know what?
I'm ready to like him even if he doesn't smile at all
- It's enough that he made you happy - Yes
Sorry, we're applying here you should stand in line to do that
Thanks, I wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't for you
No problem, I just don't wanna see a beautiful young lady like you
lose the interview for a stupid mistake like that
Right
Fouad, Fouad Saed
- Yara Mounir - Come, don't stay here
This is my spot, come here
I think everything is clear for us If we needed anything, we'll call you
Thanks for your time
Please, come in
- Excuse me, Mr. Jad - Is there anything wrong?
Yes, honestly, I was here before all the girls you've interviewed
and the girls who are waiting
I didn't notice! What do you want me to do?
It should've been my turn a long time ago, I suppose
You have a point
In my opinion, don't waste your time you should get back to work
Surely, you have a lot of work in accounting
Don't worry about that
I'm not wasting my time at all, Mr. Jad
Great then, keep on waiting
Yeah, I'll wait, I'm very patient
Thanks
How are you?
- Hello, how are you? - I'm good
- Please, take a seat - Thanks
This is for you
Here you go, Ms. Mirna this is your ticket
You'll find the time of departure, arrival
the flight number, and your seat number
Please, don't forget to be at the airport two hours before the flight
- Do you have any other questions? - No, thanks
Anytime
You should've seen the people applying for the job
It's so awful, each one has finished her college 5 minutes ago
and they're showing off as if they have a PhD!
At least, they are educated
We had a girl who doesn't know the difference between satin and organza
What about that girl who tore the chiffon on the machine?
Mrs. Hayat was standing next to her she was about to pass out
No dear, I've seen worse
One girl was wearing too much make-up I'm still dizzy because I looked at her
Mirna, if you were with us you would've laughed so hard
Come on Mirna, end this leave, please Dentelle is nothing without you
Let her enjoy it! She shouldn't refuse the chance to be pampered!
I wish Mrs. Hayat would give me a paid leave for a couple of days
Do you want to jinx her?
But she's right, we miss you a lot and work is not fun without you
Right, what about the contest, Mirna?
I applied, but I don't think I'll be accepted
Why wouldn't you? Why do you underestimate yourself?
You're better than everyone else and women are getting in line for them!
Most of them are not talented but they became a trend
Women say "I'm wearing the designs of this and that"
Girls, I want to tell you something
But first, you have to promise me that you won't argue with me about it
- Is there anything wrong? - Promise me, first
We promise, but don't make us more worried, what's wrong?
- I'm travelling tomorrow - Great, go have fun!
I'm travelling for work
Lately, I applied for a job abroad I was accepted
- Where is this job? - In Dubai
You found a job, applied for it and we're the last to know?
You're telling us one day before your flight?
Thank you very much!
Please Alya, don't be upset
Don't be upset, girls
- You know how much I love you - Yeah, we know that now
Please, understand
I didn't tell you before because I was afraid I'd get cold feet
I hardly took this decision I don't won't to back down
Do you think it's easy for me to leave you, my uncle
and the place I lived in all my life?
But I should do that I don't want to waste my future
Like I did in the past
Please, understand that
You're leaving everyone who loves you and changing your life
- all for that jerk who deserted you? - Rola!
Mirna is right
She has lost enough, let her live her life!
If we love her for real and are not being selfish
We would let her go rather than oppose her
But we'll miss you a lot
You're leaving a hole in our lives no one can fill
But we can't be selfish and think only about ourselves
What a drama queen!
Internet is making everyone closer now
We'll have the same gossip but online, right?
But, please Mirna, on your first visit here
bring me a wealthy suitor, please
Alya, please, that's enough
I can't take that, please
Sorry
I'm going to my office
- Take care - I will
Be sure that whenever you come back we'll have a place for you here
I'm going to miss you a lot
We're going to miss you a lot, Mirna
Work is not nice without you
- Don't forget about us - Take care
- Good bye
I promise you, every time I come to Lebanon, I'll come to visit you
Have a safe trip
Take care, alright?
I can't believe that you're leaving!
- Alright, bye - Bye
When is your flight? We'll take you there
No, I don't want anyone to take me to the airport
You don't want us to go to the airport with you?
No, continue your work
You're leaving, it's over?
I'll see you later
I missed you!
How could you disappear for all that time?
Could it be?
I just wanted to make sure you're alright
You've denied me that, too?
It's was only for a couple of weeks that's nothing compared to 10 years
I really understand what you're feeling
I understand what you're going through because I'm going through the same
Before or after your party?
I mean what you're going through
Was that while you were getting ready to take your fiancée to the party?
Or after taking her back home and posting your photos everywhere?
You made sure she went to sleep then you suffered all night, right?
It's not like that, Mirna you know very well it's not like that
I was forced to do that
Do you think it's easy for me to hear what you're saying to me?
Is it easy for me to stay away from you?
Or to even be with her?
You both don't deserve that
but what can I do? What can I do?
I'll make it easier for you so you won't be torn apart
- I'm travelling tonight - You're travelling?
Where will you go?
To Dubai, I got a job there
I think I have the right to leave everything behind
and search for a better future
You're the only person who gets what I'm saying
because you did that before
It's not a good time at all
- Ms. Mira, right? - That's right
- I'm Nadine, I work here in Dentelle - Nice to meet you
I just wanted to tell you that I'm following you on Instagram
You're so beautiful I like your style, I learn from you
Thanks, that's kind of you
I noticed on Instagram that you like jewelry and accessories
We have received a new collection would you like to see it?
- I'll see it, but maybe some other time - I don't want to bother you
But I'll be honored to take you to see it if I'm not bothering you
Alright, let's go
Mirna, don't do that, don't travel
There is no reason strong enough to leave your life here and go like that
I made a mistake before don't do the same
If you're asking for a reason I have a million reasons to leave
There is no point in this
One more thing...
This is not mine anymore No need to keep it with me
I'm not taking it
This is your ring, it'll always be
The moment you got engaged to a different woman, it stopped being mine
Give it to your real fiancée
At least, this way you'd bring her something from your own money
not her father's money
Is that what you really think of me?
You know what made me do that
Aren't you the one who told me to accept that?
Didn't you tell me to accept so that Yara, Rima and all Dentelle employees
including you won't lose their jobs?
Didn't you say that yourself?
Is that what helps you sleep at night?
- Good job - Mirna...
Don't go away
- Give me some time - Why would I do that?
What will change? We'll keep on hurting each other
Do you think if you were away we won't hurt each other?
Do you really think that?
Look...
I know that you think that I abandoned our love and relationship
for the partnership and the engagement
But I didn't have another option
Believe me, this is temporary
Just give me some time to get rid of all the problems
which are pouring down on me
Give me some time to pay my uncle back for all the money he paid
Then, I'll be free
I'll be free from my promise and the condition he forced on me
All I'm asking is to be patient with me for a little while
I'm begging you
I lost all my patience long ago Farewell
Can I see those, please?
- Those? - Yes
They are beautiful, your taste is amazing!
- They are pretty - Indeed
Do want to see the ones next to them?
- Yes, okay - Okay, I like these ones
That's right
- We'll miss you - Me too
Please, don't forget to call us every day, alright?
To make sure you're okay
Take care of my uncle
"Youssef"
- I want you to work harder - Mirna, you're here!
You scared the hell out of me!
Get out of the way, let me say hi to her!
- Did you miss your flight? - I missed it
Honestly, I couldn't leave you here
- Does this mean...? - Mirna?
You told me, if I wanted to come back I'll have a place here
Sure, you'll always have a place here
Welcome back!
Since you came back change your clothes and start working
Come on girls, proceed working we don't have time to waste
Go on!
Before you start working here I want to remind you of the rules
First, you'll represent this place in front of all visitors
Your behavior is what turns them from visitors to customers
That's why I want you to keep smiling
In case a customer was angry for any reason
You should tolerate them and absorb all their anger
They should always leave satisfied
As we agreed in the training
Every morning before opening the door to customers
You should review all the items in the collection
So, when customers choose something
you'll be able to find matching shoes, bags and accessories
A good salesperson makes a customer buy everything
If you face any problem, come to me I'll handle it
Do you have any questions?
Go to work
When I first saw you in the interview I knew we'll be together
Really? You can predict the future?
Not that, I can read people well
and I'm always right by the way
What did you read in me?
I'm not gonna tell you everything immediately
Fine, as you like
Thank you
Amin, you're not happy she's back like me
I'm not only happy
I felt that I came back to life when she came back home
but something doesn't feel right
This is the first time I get worried about Mirna that much
What changed her mind in the last moment?
Don't forget that Mirna has never been away from Dentelle
Maybe travelling to a different country was difficult for her
Or maybe she was afraid to be alone
- Especially that you're not with her - I know
If I was sure she came back for this
I'd be the happiest man on Earth
But the problem is that I feel Youssef is the reason behind her return
No, I don't think so
I don't think that she'll get to him after leaving everything behind
I hope that she came back
because she realized that he doesn't deserve changing her life for his sake
Although that change would've broke my heart
it would've been good for her
Hayat, she didn't make any step forward here
There, she would have had a great opportunity
She would seen the world, finally
I wished she'd find a man to fall in love with again
As long as she's here with Youssef she won't be able to forget him
Hope she gets rid of this godforsaken problem
Don't worry, Amin I'll keep watching her
At least, until we're sure she's started to forget about it
As long as you're with her I'm not worried
We'll see
When I arrived at the airport I had this strange feeling
I felt that I'm dying
I tried to keep on walking
but with every step, I felt...
I'm suffocating further
I couldn't think about anything else
This time, if I left...
Everything between us will end
Then, it doesn't matter if I lived or died
I won't be able to live
So I took that decision and came back
I came back without knowing what will happen tomorrow
But the only thing I know is...
- I can't live without you again - We won't drift apart again
Even if this means the end of the world
We're not gonna drift apart
I'll do everything I can to get rid of the noose my uncle put around me
- before we both suffocate - How?
I'll postpone the wedding as much as possible until things settle down here
Anyway, we've already agreed
We're not getting married until one year after my father's passing
Before the end of this year, I'll end the partnership with my uncle in any way
Without hurting or mistreating anyone
- I'm scared Youssef, I'm scared - Don't be scared
I'm stronger with you you make me strong
Be patient until I work this out
Don't you trust me?
If I didn't trust you I wouldn't be standing here with you
I just don't trust this life I can't take more pain
I won't let life control our decisions like before
We'll stay together
I won't have it any other way
