We'll take these two.
They show off the style of Sonja's collection the most.
And give the stylist my regards, no dramatics, simple elegance.
And I'm serious about that.
You get to tell the stylist how to do his job?
Yes, he'll hate me for it forever.
But if he he doesn't do what I say, he'll just be fired.
There's something that's completely overrated.
The higher you get, the thinner the air gets.
Friendships are a luxury that one has to be able to afford.
Did I come at a bad time somehow?
Yes, sorry, but I have to give the opening speech tomorrow at the press conference,
and I haven't even barely looked at the text yet.
I just wanted to ask you something real quick,
Do you know by any chance when Marlene will be back?
How did you arrive at the conclusion that I of all people would know that?
Because you're her closest social tie?
Also known as girlfriend?
Or did you drive her to run away too with that military commander tone of yours?
I...I have no idea where she is.
She usually doesn't check out with me.
Welcome to my world.
I piled this idiotic affair with Christian on her, ok,
but is that a reason to ignore my calls and
to just take off?
Obviously she doesn't want to talk to anybody right now.
Accept that.
Well, good luck with your press conference.
I respect my boss.
He has the authority to tell me things.
And that's a good thing.
Mom?
I think first, talk later.
Marlene, you scared me!
I didn't know that you'd be back today already.
Maybe you should treat yourself to a few days of vacation too if you have to soak in stuff like that.
Well, it supposedly helps.
I think sometimes I a bit too dominant dealing with Ansgar.
You look well!
Did you manage to relax?
Yes, that too, but above all I did a lot of thinking.
You left because of Tristan.
That too, but actually because of me.
I just didn't know anymore what I really wanted.
I know that feeling.
You never doubted your relationship with dad.
No matter what was between you and Ansgar,
you always knew that you loved dad.
That he's the one you want.
Yes, but that's the story of your dad and I,
you have your own story.
And if you ask me? Doubt is a good thing.
It means that something is moving.
Yes. It most definitively does.
You made your decision.
Yes.
And I'm sure it's the right one.
( big sigh )
Hi.
Hey.
What are you doing here then?
Searching for you.
Me?
How long have you been back again?
For one hour.
Did you see Tristan yet?
No. I... I wanted to see you first.
How are you?
Good, good.
Good, good.
You know, this bout of distance, that was exactly the right thing now.
A lot of stuff has become more clear to me.
That thing, that happened between us
I've never experienced anything like that before.
Is that why you're here?
You know, I've been searching for the right words the entire time
Just say it.
I don't feel the same way you do.
That means?
I love ... Tristan.
I'm so sorry.
Stupid thing.
Let me try.
Is that why you came back?
To fix my tie?
I can't just watch how you strangle yourself with that thing out of anger.
Again.
Any why? Because it was that much fun?
Because then you won't run away again.
At least not till after you're finished with that tie.
Believe me, I'll never run away again.
I'll take care of the dresses real quick.
Please make sure that these changes are worked into my speech.
Why are you in such a bad mood?
Because that's the way it is.
Love sick?
Do I look like it?
Yes.
Dammit.
When you're ready again, Mrs. Von Anstetten wants to talk the schedule through with you once more.
Sure.
It's ok, it's just a tiny cut.
Maybe the wound is deeper after all.
in the name of Ligne Clarisse Lahnstein and of course Lahnstein Enterprises.
Highly regarded ladies and gentlemen
I want to extend a warm welcome to you to the presentation of our winter and fall collection 2012
Our highly regarded lead designer Sonja Jäger was supposed to stand here in my stead.
We all miss Sonja who is chiefly responsible for the original vision of the line.
Due to the tragic circumstances we renamed our fashion line
'Hope' by Sonja Jäger.
Of course we all are still hoping that a miracle will happen,
and Ms. Jäger will wake from her coma,
Many thanks, but the applause belongs to Rebecca von Lahnstein and her team
They ... in the last few weeks worked without tiring ... on this ... new collection
Yes, like... Clarissa von Anstetten already mentioned,
we mainly want to pay tribute to Sonja Jäger with the name 'Hope', but
it should also represent the spirit of the collection.
Clear lines are very important to us in this collection as well,
Everything alright?
Mmm.
I thank you now for coming
and now we cordially invite you to our buffet.
Rebecca, how was the presentation.
Quite ok. Clarissa started an emotional firebrand in front of the press
and almost squeezed out a tear when she mentioned Sonja's name.
Everybody loved it, clapped, yippee!
Let me guess, the stylist messed up and has to find a new job now.
No.
Satisfied?
If you ask me straight up like that, yes!
Very much so!
And I give you a hint,
leave the military commander at home sometimes, then things will work out in your love life again too.
Pardon me?!
With the pissed off way you look right now, nobody's gonna try to approach you.
The proper way to sparkle is like this and the secret for it is love.
Marlene to be exact.
Great. Are you done?
No, not quite yet.
And we made up. Come upstairs and we'll toast to it.
To the end of jealousy, to your press conference
and to love, what do you say?
Thanks, no need.
Rebecca, if you're having problems you can talk to us.
Other than that you talk about everything with Marlene too.
Forget it, I've got nothing to say to her anymore.
Did you have a fight?
Come on, tell me, what's going on with you and Marlene?
What's going on?
Best ask my little sister, her bad mood is spectacular,
and the way it seems it even has something to do with you.
Very well then.
You won't leave it alone anyway.
You were right.
The press conference really didn't go all that well.
All of a sudden?
And because of that you're mad at Marlene?
Yes, well...
that's because I just took off.
Even though I'd promised to help Rebecca with her preparations.
You?
Yes. Little things. Because I have experience with the press after all.
Rebecca, I'm sorry.
It's ok.
Is the interrogation over now, or is there anything else you want to know?
What would you say about a romantic candle light dinner in bed?
Impossible.
Tonight we're on the guest list for 'Menage à trois'.
No way, we'll really get in on first performance?
We get into anything if we want to.
Well, I have to make a phone call real quick and then I'll be back at your disposal.
Justus?
Is Rebecca still downstairs?
No, she went to the orangery.
