You are not a lawyer.

Is that so hard

to believe? Really?

Yes, yes, it is so

hard to believe.

The undisputed beer pong champ

really, goes on to do great things.

Yeah, well, nothing

screams success

like a student loan

that I can't pay off.

Oh, come on, Ben. You knew what

you wanted, and you went for it.

I think that's great. Yeah.

Ambition always was one of the

sexiest things about you.

Oh, really? Yeah.

So what about you? How you been?

I've been fine, yeah.

Yeah?

Seems like you've been

having a good old time,

judging by your half-naked

photos that I saw online.

Oh, you've been...

Really? You've been

cyberstalking me, Ben?

I wasn't cyberstalk...

I was just...

Intrigued.

Oh, intrigued, okay.

I was curious. That's all.

Okay.

So how is it being married?

It's complicated.

"I do. You do." Seems pretty

self-explanatory to me.

Well, that's the easy part.

And then there's...

It's just complicated.

Well, I'm dating a guy who's

completely not right for me,

and he wants to get

serious, and I don't.

And I came here

tonight to see you...

But you're wearing

a wedding ring.

Yeah.

And you're happy?

Right?

Why do you ask?

I should run.

No, no, no. Wait.

No, I really...

Please, this is a bad idea.

I don't want to overstep.

I don't want to say something

that I'm gonna regret.

I don't even know what I was

thinking would happen tonight.

I feel really stupid. I just...

Nothing is gonna happen.

We're just...

We're just gonna sit and talk.

That's all.

I don't think so, Ben.

Hey, what's going on?

It's a disaster.

I feel like such a clich.

I'm dating my boss.

Technically he's everyone's boss.

He's the CEO of Pierson.

You're dating Arthur Denning?

Yeah. Holy sh*t!

I was his head of sales. I'm

not a gold digger, you know.

Arthur can be really charming

when he wants to be.

Well, if your heart's not in it,

why don't you just leave him?

He won't let me.

What do you mean,

he won't let you?

I mean he won't let me.

It started with threats, you know,

implying I would lose my job.

Is he hurting you?

I was on his laptop,

and I found data

about the clinical trials

that went bad last summer.

From Viprexalin.

268 people died.

You know what Arthur

was concerned about?

What? How the deaths

would affect his financials.

Did he say that in the emails?

Try to remember if he

actually addressed the deaths

from Viprexalin in these emails.

I'm not sure. I mean, maybe.

Where is this data?

Do you still have it?

Arthur would know

that it came from me.

Well, we can make it look like

it came from someone else.

Oh, rea... how?

I can help you with this, okay?

Now, do you want my help or not?

Do you mind grabbing
