They Humiliated Her Boyfriend – -Not Knowing She Owned the Hotel

[music] Three blind dates. None of them know who you are. Good. They think you work at a hotel. I do. That’s not the whole story.  Kate.  Rick.  Wow, you look even better than your pictures.  Thanks.  I already ordered because I don’t like waiting. So, what do you do?  I work at a hotel.  A hotel? How much can that pay?  I do. Okay.

 Okay. Isn’t enough for me?  Good to know.  You see, I have very high standards. I saw your car.  The Corolla?  Yeah. That’s really yours.  Yep.  I could never drive something that old.  Why?  People see what you drive  and  it matters.  You’re very pretty, Kate, but I don’t think this will work.

 Why?  I like nice cars, places. I want a woman who has money, too.  So, you want money?  Of course. Looks are not enough.  Okay.  How was Rick? [music] He wanted a woman with money. Wow. Maybe he was just the wrong guy. Try Mark. Okay. One more.  That’s your car?  Yep.  How old is it?  Old.  One big repair could cost more than the car.

 It still runs.  So, you work at a hotel?  Yeah.  Full-time?  Yes.  Do you get health insurance?  I have my own. That costs a lot.  I’m okay  for now.  How old is he?  11.  11? Mhm.  Vet bills get expensive at that age.  He gets what he needs.  Even if you lose your job?  Yes.  That’s a lot of money for an old dog.

What if you lose your job?  I’ll be okay.  But if we were together?  What do you mean?  Would I have to pay your bills?  My bills?  You? The car? The dog?  That’s what you’re thinking about?  I have to. What else?  Where are you going?  Outside. I’m just being honest.  I know.  I’m trying to be realistic  about what?  You, the car, the dog.

 Me?  It’s a lot.  So, I’m good enough to date.  Sure.  But not marry?  No.  Why?  You cost too much.  So, what do I bring?  You’re beautiful.  That’s all.  That’s about it.  How was Mark? Worse. What happened? He thinks I need his money. Seriously, I’m done. One more date. No, please, Rachel. Just one more.

 And if he’s like the others, then I stop asking. Last one.  Todd.  No.  Oh, sorry.  It’s okay.  I thought you were someone else.  I get that a lot.  Kate.  Todd.  Yeah. Sorry I’m late. Sorry about that.  You’re fine. You look great.  Thank you.  I like this place.  You do?  Yeah. Simple is good.  Money doesn’t matter to you.

 Not much. You’re beautiful.  Thank you.  But I would change the clothes and the car.  You would?  Yeah, you can do better.  Why do you care?  Because I like things a certain way.  What else would you change?  I would want you to get a different job.  My job?  Yes.

 I would want something better for you.  Better for me or better for you?  For us.  And who decides what is better?  I usually know what works. If we got serious, Max could not live with me.  Max is family.  I do not want a dog in my house.  So, I would have to choose.  Yes, you would.  I already made my choice.  You chose me?  No, I choose Max.

 You’re choosing a dog over me?  I’m choosing family. You can barely pay your own bills, Kate. Why spend money on an old dog? Get rid of the dog and I’ll buy you a better car.  Kate, wait.  Ben,  he looked thirsty.  Thank you.  I heard enough.  Sorry about that.  You have nothing to be sorry about.

 You saw my car, too?  I did.  Nothing to say.  Does it run?  Most days.  Then it works.  Then it works.  That’s it. That’s it. So, what do you do?  I own a small cafe.  You own it?  Yeah.  Just one?  Is one not enough?  No, I did not mean that. Building one place yourself is a lot.  Good answer.

 So, how bad was Todd? Awful. But I met another guy. Another guy? Rachel? He’s like 6’1, gorgeous, and he was nice to Max. Oh, no. You’re in trouble. If he’s not a jerk, I’m not letting him get away.  You came back?  I did.  For the water?  Maybe.  Coffee?  Yes, please. You don’t have to walk me out.

 I know.  Todd really wanted you to give him up.  Yeah.  How long have you had him?  He was my dad’s dog.  Then Todd never had a chance.  Ben, we have a problem. What happened? Maria is sick. She can’t come in tonight. The anniversary dinner. 40 people will be here in 1 hour.  You need help.  Kate, you don’t have to.

 I know. Let’s go. You’ve done this before?  I work at a hotel.  Doing what? Ben, they’re here.  Miss. Miss, this glass is dirty. I’ll replace it and wipe the table. Okay. Okay. Are you new? I’m just helping tonight. We can tell. Can we get someone who knows what they’re doing?  She’s helping me.  Then train her.

 You can talk to me. Don’t talk to her like that.  What’s going on? The service has been terrible. Linda, that’s enough. I was only asking for decent service.  No,  you were being rude. This is our anniversary. Please stop.  Kate, we need to go right now.  Yes, they’re waiting for you.  Who’s waiting?  People from work.

 Everything okay?  Yeah, it’s just work. We really have to go.  Sorry. Go. I’ve got this.  You forgot your own event. Oh, no.  And you’re waiting tables. They were short of server.  You really like this guy. Not now. Not now. Get in. We have one problem.  What happened?  Tomorrow’s breakfast caterer canled.

 Ben could do it. No. You need breakfast for 60. Call the cafe. Don’t mention me.  Ben. Hart Hotels just called. Heart Hotels. They need breakfast for 60 tomorrow morning. 60? Yeah, we can do it. Then we need more food. Call the supplier. They close in 20 minutes.  Wow. Rachel.  Ben,  you work here?  Yeah.

 Where’s Kate? What? The breakfast is outside. Is Kate here?  She’s upstairs.  Can I say hi?  Not right now. She’s working.  Ben, is the breakfast outside? Yes. Follow me. [bell]  You missed Ben by 1 second and he asked for you. Did he see me? No. And he looked really good today. If you don’t want him, I do. Back off.

 Then stop hiding.  Ben, everyone loved the breakfast. Can you do another event Friday? How many? 200. Can you do it?  I said yes to Hart. And I want you there with me Friday  at Hart Hotels.  Yeah, you know hotels better than I do.  Ben, I’m not sure.  Please. I really need you.  Okay,  that’s the last one.

 Good. Let’s go. This place is huge.  Yeah.  Ready? Let’s do it.  Here, throw [music] this away. It’s fine.  Is this your cafe?  Yeah, it is. That’s impressive.  Is she your girlfriend?  We’re seeing each other.  So, it’s not serious.  I didn’t say that.  My company feeds hundreds of people every week. You should cater for us.

Give me your number  for the cafe  for now. My phone is gone. She was right here. You cleaned my table and now my phone is gone. I didn’t take your phone. Then empty your pockets. Let’s check the cameras. You’re forgetting something. An apology. I’m sorry. Thank you.  That was pretty impressive.  The coffee  you You always stand up for people like that  when they’re right.

 I like that.  The private lounge needs coffee. I’ll show you.  Lead the way. [music]  Still working here.  Yeah,  I’m upstairs with the VIPs. We sure ended up in different places.  I’m glad I found your cafe.  Me, too.  We have to go. I know.  So, what is it about Kate?  Kate? the one who works here.

 You know her? We went out. What happened? I don’t date waitresses. Your loss.  Miss Hart, we’re ready.  Let’s keep this short. Kate Hart.  Yeah,  I blew it.  There you are.  Hey, what’s the problem? We hired professionals, not some little cafe. We are professionals. Who let this cafe in here? I own the cafe. This is a VIP event. You need to

pack up.  Then prove it.  He already did. The guests love the food.  I was wrong.  We have another event next Friday. 300 people. Can you handle it?  Absolutely. When do I get to see your place?  My place?  Yeah.  Rachel, I need a house. You have houses. I need a cheap one. How cheap. Cheap enough for Ben to believe it’s mine. When is he coming? Tonight.

Tonight? I panicked. [sighs] Think Ben will believe it. He has to. Please work with me. We matched again. So, when do I get to meet your family?  Ben wants to meet my family.  Good. Good.  I want to meet him.  Not like this. What’s wrong with this?  Everything. [laughter]  So, you’re Ben?  Yes, ma’am.

 Kate says you want another cafe  someday.  What if someone offered you the money?  I’d say no.  Even if it made things easier.  I want it to be mine.  He means [music] it. I know. Then why are you still lying to him? because I don’t want to lose him.  Employees use this elevator  sometimes.  You get a lot of sometimes.

 Perks of the job.  He really knows your car.  He should.  So why do I keep seeing you in places like that elevator?  Because my life is more complicated than it looks. The board is waiting. They can wait for Ben. For Ben. For Ben.  300 people. This is my biggest job yet.  You ready?  Yeah.  Then let’s [music] do it.

 Hold it. You’re the caterer? Yeah. I own the cafe for this ballroom. That’s right. That’s right. This is a VIP event, not some neighborhood cafe. I was hired to be here. Then take your stuff and go. I’m not going anywhere. You’re not serving my guests.  He is.  And you are?  Kate Hart.  Kate Hart.  That’s right,  Miss Hart. I can explain.

 You can apologize.  Ben, I was wrong. Yeah, you were. You and your team can stay. Good.  I didn’t know how to tell you.  Was any of it real?  I planned the disguise, but I didn’t plan to fall for you.  Then why keep lying? Did you get Hart to call my cafe?  I got them to try it.  You knew I wanted to do this myself.

 I know.  I trusted you enough not to ask.  Ben, I’m sorry. You didn’t trust me enough to tell me I need some time.  Okay,  Kate, you own heart.  Yeah,  I really blew that.  Come on, Max.  Hey, buddy.  Looks like Max chose you.  Looks like it. I’m still mad. I know.  No more hiding.  No more hiding.

 I’m opening a second cafe.  Want my help?  Your advice, not your money.  Fair.  And I want you there.  I’m not going anywhere.  Congratulations.  Thanks, Aaron.  If you’re ever single, don’t forget me. You’ll be waiting forever. [laughter]
