Love by Design Page #6

Synopsis: Romanian born Danielle (Giulia Nahmany) is living the dream in NYC working at Beguile magazine under urban-diva fashion editor Vivian (Jane Seymour). But when a coworker steals her idea and her boyfriend, Danielle can't help but speak her mind to Vivian and loses her job. Now on the fashion blacklist with no place to go, Danielle heads home to Romania and back to the farm in Transylvania. After the initial culture shock subsides, Danielle begins to find solace with her family and friends. She runs into a charming Brit named Adrian (David Oakes), in town on a business trip, and sparks fly as he helps her discover a passion she left behind; designing her own clothing line. Now with the help of a magazine pal, can Danielle and her Romanian theme clothing line make it at New York Fashion Week?

- I'll be right back.

- I'll meet you inside.

- [Danielle] Hi.

- Hi.

- You are looking

quite handsome.

- Thanks.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just got

some upsetting news

about some business stuff.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

Listen, I'm going to

have to cancel our

dinner plans this evening.

- Sure, no problem.

- Well, I've got to run.

- [Danielle] Okay.

- I'll call you later.

(sad music)

- Wow, Danielle,

these are beautiful!

You should be really proud.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

I just ran into

Adrian the other day

and he was acting kind of weird.

- Weird?

- Yeah.

I'm sure it was work related,

but he hasn't called since.

- Men are strange sometimes.

Just give him a few

days, he'll resurface.

And you should

take a break here.

- No, what I need,

is to get this done.

- You're obsessing.

Come on, let's grab

a pizza in town.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

You're gonna love this place.

- [Danielle] Yeah?

- They have the

best pizza in town.

Hi.

- Hi.

- We're gonna have

two pizzas to go.

I'll have a margarita.

- Sure.

- And one for me as well.

- Sure.

- Thanks.

I'm starving.

- Oh, Danielle!

Look!

- [Danielle] Oh my God!

- This...

Ah, that's me!

- [Danielle] Yeah!

- That's me!

I'm in the magazine!

How did this happen?

- Claire.

Vivien's clever and

wonderful assistant.

She sent my photos to

Beguile's biggest competitor.

- That's amazing!

That's wonderful, Danielle!

- Yeah!

- Breakout fashion

designer Maloo

spotlights the real woman with

Romanian Folk

inspired collection.

How did we get scooped on this?

- It must have been a

last minute addition.

They must have pulled something

and replaced it with this Maloo.

- I don't even know

anything about this person.

- How could we not know?

We are Beguile magazine.

We break new designers.

We set the trend others follow.

Will somebody please find

out who this Maloo is?

- Maloo?

You named your clothing line

after your grandmother's goat?

- Claire must have

used another name

since I'm on the

fashion blacklist.

- Oh, that's funny.

Oh, not that you're

on the blacklist.

- I got that.

Thanks.

- Thanks.

- Well, I mean, this

is very disappointing.

I mean if somebody

is going to have

the audacity to

spotlight the real woman,

that should be us

setting the trend.

Claire, get in here.

- I thought you weren't

interested in pandering to

overweight women too

lazy to work out.

- Don't you ever repeat that.

This demographic has

obviously become relevant.

Claire, I want you

to find the rep

and invite Maloo and his

or her people for dinner.

We're days away

from Fashion Week

and we want to make

sure that we have

this designer in my hip pocket.

- Is Maloo invited

to Fashion Week?

- Well, if not, have

Richard make it happen.

I want to make sure that Beguile

dominates the front

row of this show.

Go on.

- I'm on it.

- [Vivien] Go on.

- [Claire] You saw?

- Yes.

- I can't talk right now.

Vivien's blown a

head gasket when

Mode Image scooped

her on your layout.

- Does she know

Maloo is really me?

- No, are you kidding?

And get this!

Beguile is sending an invite

to Maloo for Fashion Week.

So you better book that

flight to New York ASAP.

- Okay, okay, okay,

bye, bye, bye, bye.

- What?

- I'm going to Fashion Week.

As a designer!

(cheering)

(giggling)

- Oh my God, oh my God!

- This is surreal.

I can't wait to tell Adrian.

It was his idea to send the

photos in the first place.

- Yeah.

- But, how am I going to get

everything organized on time?

- Well, we can pick

up all the dresses

you made for the girls.

- That's a great idea!

- Yeah!

- I need to get to New York,

organize the production,

hire the models, hair, make-up.

- Isn't it exciting?

- It's terrifying.

- I know.

Oh, there is the

restaurant Razvan

took me to for our anniversary.

- Oh.

- It's so romantic.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Hello, doggie.

What?

- He's there.

- Who?

- Adrian.

- (gasps) Oh hell!

- I knew something was wrong.

- Hang on, let's not

jump to conclusions.

- He was holding her hand!

- You're right, he was.

- In my mind, we weren't

seeing other people.

- Well, maybe he has a

different way of thinking.

Do you wanna go back in there?

- Yes.

- I mean no, wait, I need

to think for a second.

- Okay.

So?

- No, I don't wanna go inside.

Let's get the dresses.

- Oh!

(sad music)

(speaking foreign language)

- [Voiceover] May I help you?

- I was calling to see if the

flight is leaving on time.

- [Voiceover] And

your destination?

- Bucharest to JFK.

- [Voiceover] Can

you hold please?

- Sure, I'll hold.

- Mom?

- Yeah.

- What is Grandma doing?

- Salting the house, to

keep entities at bay.

- What for?

- I don't know.

There's a lot of stuff

going on around here.

Better to be safe.

- [Voiceover] Your flight

is leaving as scheduled.

- Okay thanks.

(phone buzzing)

- Have you even talked to him?

- No, I don't wanna talk to him.

- You're sure?

- Yes.

Have you seen my headpieces?

- All packed.

Honey, be excited.

This is your dream come true.

- Yeah, you're right, it is.

- Yeah.

- Hey, hey, hey,

inspector number eight

is in the house.

What's wrong with you all?

- Sofia, did you see this?

- Oh no.

This can't be good.

(sad music)

- Attention ladies, gents.

Please shut down

the machines for

a special meeting on the floor.

Gather around.

That's it.

So, before I begin, I just,

I want you to know how very

proud and honored I am,

to be the manager of this plant.

I couldn't have asked

for a better team.

Now, I know there's been

a lot of speculation

so I am just gonna

come out and say it.

The owners of Euro

Clothing Manufacturers

have made a decision,

based on the profit

and loss of this plant.

The plant will close

effectively in 30 days.

(speaking foreign language)

It wasn't my decision.

It's come down

from the top, so...

- I can't believe this.

I've seen that woman.

- Hello.

As co-CEO of Edwards Industries,

I'd just like to say,

how appreciative we are

of all your past efforts,

so we will be offering you

three months' severance

to help ease your transition

into alternate employment.

- There is no alternate

employment for us.

This plant has supported our

village for two generations.

- I understand, and, this

was a very difficult decision

for our company to make,

but nonetheless, this plant

is no longer a viable asset.

Thank you for your

attention, and please see

your plant manager

for more information

regarding your severance checks.

- Adrian, what are

you doing here?

Are you part of this?

- I'm so sorry, Sofia, I

must catch up with my sister.

I will explain

everything, I promise you.

- His sister?

- Thank you, gentlemen and

I will see you on the 12th.

- [Both] Okay.

- Can you get the papers

to legal before my meeting?

- Bea, Beatrix!

What are you doing?

I've got three more months here.

- I had a conference

with the board
