My Ex Is My Boss

Episode 1

A young Gavin Wright trades his first-place prize for a birthday cake — not for himself, but for his sick mother. At home he tells her he came first, and she makes a wish over the cake. The moment is brief: her family, the Sewell family, refuses to take Gavin in, and his mother refuses to cut ties with her son.

Then a car arrives. Gavin is told his mother will be taken for treatment, and he promises to take care of himself and grow up fast. The episode closes on a name spoken aloud: Mr. Gavin Wright.

Episode 2

Gavin's mother has searched for him for years and never expected to find him on his wedding day. She orders gifts brought for Gavin's wife and heads to see him.

Meanwhile, Gavin stands with Brian Clark, who needles him about giving up his job at Sewell Group for Mandy. Gavin says Mandy has meant the world to him since he lost his memory at eight. His chip patent has been approved, and a doctor is coming to the wedding to present the award. Then the bride's side starts making demands — a $500 gift isn't going to cut it, and Mandy isn't getting out of the car.

Episode 3

Gavin admits he doesn't know the wedding customs, and Nat is happy to educate him — for a price. The number lands at $388,000, and Mandy won't step out of the car until it's paid. Nat works on Mandy behind the scenes, warning her that a woman with her new Sewell Group status can't accept a cheap bride price.

Mandy hesitates, then agrees to follow Nat's lead. The guests wait. Gavin stands outside the car, learning exactly what his years of sacrifice have bought him, as the pressure on his wedding day keeps climbing.

Episode 4

Gavin tries to negotiate, but Nat has appointed herself Mandy's voice and won't let him near the car. He can't raise $388,000 on the spot, and Mandy's answer is chilling: if the money isn't there, maybe the wedding should wait.

Nat keeps hammering the same point — Mandy is about to join a Fortune 500 company, and her colleagues will laugh if the bride price looks small. Gavin pleads for Mandy to get out of the car first. Instead, Nat tells him to go find the money. And a question slips out that changes the temperature of the whole scene: didn't Gavin give Mandy that Sewell Group job on purpose?

Episode 5

The truth about the job comes out, and Nat pounces. Gavin says he let Mandy have the Sewell Group position — but Nat spins it as him stealing her one achievement. Gavin fires back with the receipts: he covered her tuition every year, all her living expenses, everything.

Then Nat goes for the throat, saying an orphan can't give Mandy the life a wealthy heir could. Gavin turns to Mandy for backup — and she says she's disappointed in him. She insists she earned the job herself and accuses him of lying. Nat pushes further, mocking the idea that Gavin could ever be the Sewell heir. Gavin stands alone.

Episode 6

Gavin plays his last card: the patent for his newly developed chip, the very reason Sewell Group wanted him. He offers it as the bride price, worth far more than $388,000. Nat sneers that she can't even understand it — until someone in the crowd recognizes it as cutting-edge chip technology worth at least $100 million a year.

The room shifts. People start to see that Gavin handed over something precious, and that his sincerity isn't being returned. But Nat refuses to back down, demanding to know how much money the patent has actually made. Gavin admits it isn't commercialized yet. Nat seizes on it: so it's worthless.

Episode 7

The patent is torn, and the wedding explodes. When Nat falls, she and Mandy both accuse Gavin of hitting a woman. Gavin insists he never touched her — she fell on her own — and points out she destroyed his patent. Mandy twists it, asking if he'll hit her too.

Dennis, Mandy's father, finally steps in, furious that his daughter is being pushed into demanding $388,000. He tears into Nat for poisoning Mandy's mind and tells her to leave. Mandy defends Nat as her best friend and tells her father to stop causing trouble. Dennis is overruled in his own daughter's wedding — and the money demand stands.

Episode 8

Gavin empties his savings: $150,000, everything he has. It isn't enough. Nat smells blood, insisting he makes $20,000–$30,000 a month and must have more stashed away. Gavin explains where it all went — her tuition abroad, the mortgage, the wedding itself.

Nat tells Mandy to hold her ground and not fall for his stalling, warning that a cheap bride price will ruin her standing among the elite. Cornered, Gavin asks Mandy to get out of the car first. Nat's answer is to tell him to go borrow the money — payday loan, friends, anything. On his own wedding day, Gavin is being squeezed dry.

Episode 9

Brian Clark shows up with $240,000 — his own savings — and Gavin is overcome. But Nat isn't done. She demands Brian sign a guarantee that the debt will never fall on Mandy, then insults him as a cripple and sneers at Gavin's orphanage past.

Gavin's patience snaps. When Nat mockingly drops the pen and tells Brian to pick it up, the cruelty becomes unbearable. Gavin has spent five years blind, and he says it out loud: only now does he see what kind of person Mandy Parker really is. The wedding is about to break — and so is Gavin's last reason to stay.

Episode 10

The confrontation boils over, and Gavin finally walks away from the wedding he spent years paying for. What Mandy doesn't know is who she just threw away: Gavin is the Sewell Group CEO's long-lost child.

The next day, the empire she was so desperate to impress has a new general manager — and it's her direct boss. The tables have turned completely, and Mandy is about to walk into the office and see the face she humiliated at the altar.
