Boss! U Almost Got Her

Episode 1

Twenty years ago, a boy promised Ellie he would marry her. They sealed it at a bridal shop — the place they first met — trading pocket watches with each other's pictures inside. "In 20 years, I'll marry you here," he swore.

Now the day has arrived. Ellie returns to that same bridal shop, still holding onto the promise.

But she isn't the only one with plans. The scene shifts fast: someone is watching, security is clearing the room, and a meeting is being arranged. The childhood vow is about to collide with a world of money and secrets.

Episode 2

Ellie goes wedding dress shopping with her best friend, Eleanor. Ellie picks the cheaper dress — "price isn't everything, it's about finding the right fit." Eleanor isn't convinced, teasing that Ellie is marrying a man whose name and face she can't even remember.

Then Eleanor spots a headline: billionaire Clyde Croft just dropped $150 million on a pink diamond necklace for his love. Her eyes change.

Ellie steps away, leaving her things behind. A moment later, Eleanor walks toward the bridal-shop meeting holding the watch. "There she is with the watch," someone says.

Episode 3

At the bridal shop, Clyde greets the woman he believes is his childhood sweetheart. He tells her there's no need to be formal — call him Clyde. She answers that she has waited twenty years for him.

He apologizes for keeping her waiting so long, then hands over something precious and watches her reaction. She loves it. The price tag is staggering — $150 million — and she quietly realizes she's hit the jackpot.

Then Clyde's phone rings. Something urgent has come up. He has to leave, promising to call later. The reunion ends almost before it begins.

Episode 4

Ellie is done with the man she met at the bridal shop. "I'm not available," she snaps. "It must be out of my mind if I thought that guy could be my childhood sweetheart."

Eleanor sits her down with terrible news: Ellie's sweetheart sent a messenger. He can't keep his promise — he's in love with someone else. He even took back the pocket watch. Ellie asks for a number, a face-to-face meeting. No. He wants nothing to do with her.

"I guess that promise only meant something to me." Then Ellie notices Eleanor's necklace — and asks where she got it.

Episode 5

Eleanor claims the necklace is just a replica from the bridal shop. But Ellie has news of her own: she got the job — Clyde Croft's new secretary, starting today.

Eleanor panics. If Ellie works for Clyde, she's bound to find out her spot was stolen.

At the office, Andy welcomes Ellie and shows her the ropes. A coworker warns her that the last secretary was fired for crossing a line. Then Clyde arrives — and freezes, staring at Ellie. Eleanor calls to say her "copycat" best friend just started at his company. Clyde orders Ellie fired immediately.

Episode 6

Andy pushes back on the firing — Ellie is the only person in the secretarial department who speaks fluent Mandarin, and there's a meeting with a Chinese client today. Clyde gives her one chance: don't blow it.

Ellie handles the meeting, and Clyde keeps her on. "As long as you perform the way you did today," he tells her. But the office isn't welcoming — a coworker snipes that good looks must be worth something, and warns that Clyde Croft hates a gold digger.

Later, Clyde asks if she can drive. Her skills are shaky, and a small accident follows.

Episode 7

Clyde has a request: help him pick out an engagement ring. Ellie reasons it out — she's Eleanor's best friend, so they probably have similar taste.

At the store, she points to one she likes. Clyde asks to see how it looks — on her hand. She tries it on. The clerk gushes that they look like a perfect match; Ellie corrects her: the ring is for her boss's fiancée.

It's a flawless 8.5-carat diamond, priced at 3 million. Clyde adds more popular pieces without blinking. Ellie can't help thinking about the broken promise she got instead.

Episode 8

Clyde tells Ellie to stop by HR for a bonus — for shopping. She's stunned. He says he'll meet his fiancée and drive himself, so she's free to go home.

Ellie can't wait to tell Eleanor everything. At home, Eleanor receives the gifts and adores them. Clyde insists it's not about the cost — it's about them.

But Eleanor is terrified. "I can't risk losing any of this," she thinks. Her plan darkens: if she bears his child, he'll have to stay with her, even if he learns the truth. Meanwhile, something about being close to Ellie feels strange to Clyde.

Episode 9

Ellie comes home buzzing and tells Eleanor about her first day — she almost got fired, but proved herself and became Clyde Croft's new secretary.

Eleanor presses for details: is her boss as rich and hot as they say? Ellie admits he's handsome, but very much in love with his fiancée — he dropped $3 million on a ring without flinching. Eleanor teases that Ellie must be into him. Ellie shuts it down: she would never want another woman's man.

Then Ellie spots it — the ring on Eleanor's finger looks exactly like the one her boss just bought.

Episode 10

Ellie stares at the ring. "Isn't that the ring my boss just bought for his fiancée?" Eleanor deflects, joking that if Ellie were dating her boss, they'd be set for life. She stays secretive about her wealthy new boyfriend — and her new car.

At work, Clyde meets clients about a partnership. A man assumes Ellie is Mrs. Croft because of the $150 million necklace; she corrects him — she's just the secretary. He doesn't take no for an answer, and Ellie stands her ground: Clyde Croft would be furious, not flattered. Clyde returns just in time.

You'll want to see how this standoff plays out — keep watching.
