Can asked her what she was doing in here. She told him she thought this was Mr. Emre's room. Can was shocked. He asked her why she would be in Emre's room half naked. She told him it wasn't what he thought. He asked her again why she was in his room. She asked if this was his room. He just looked at him. She moved closer and told him she fell in the pool. Can laughed and said yes, I can see that. Sanem told him she was going to go fall in the pool again. He stopped her. She said he was committing a psychological attack against an employee. Can told her she was committing an invasion of private property; use of other people's things. She denied touching anything of his. He reached out and grabbed the shirt she was wearing to prove it was his. Just then the dryer beeped to let her know her clothes were done. She asked him to get out, so she could dress. He said I'm going. When she was dressed, she went back outside to get her cell phone. Everybody had left. She said goodbye, Mr. Can and headed for the door. Can ran after her and grabbed her arm to stop her. He turned her around and told her he was sorry if he made her feel uncomfortable. He said it wasn't his intention. Her being half-naked just took him by surprise. She smiled and said thank you for the apology. She told him she was sorry for being in his bedroom and wearing his shirt. Can smiled and told her she actually looked good wearing his shirt. Sanem's faced turned red. She hurried out the door.

The next day at the agency, Can told Sanem he needed her to go to Agua with him to speak to the model, Arzu about working on a campaign with them. She said OK. They got in the truck and headed to Agua. Can took a shortcut and they ended up broke down. They had to walk the rest of the way to the hotel. Sanem spotted her flowers, Cleoms. She uses these to make her special cream. She ran over to them and started picking some. Can told her they didn't have time to pick flowers. Sanem said she just needed a few to make her cream. Can asked her if she made her own cream. Sanem told him yes. She uses her grandmother's recipe. He bent down, smelled the flower and immediately thought back to the kiss in the dark at the opera house. He told her she could pick some.

They finally made it to the hotel. Can stripped to take a shower. He came out in just a towel. She finally notices the albatross tattoo on his chest. She couldn't take her eyes off of it. Can looked at her confused. She told him to not stand there like Zeus and go take a shower. She would take his clothes to be quickly dry cleaned. She then tried to track down Arzu so Can could talk to her. Sanem couldn't find her anywhere. The lady at the desk said she thought Arzu went on a bike ride. So, Can decided to get bikes for him and Sanem so they could look for her. They rode until they ended up at the "rock of the bride". Sanem told Can the story of this famous rock. When the story ended, Can said it was a very sad story. Sanem took a step towards the cliff and said actually not so....and then slipped at the edge at the cliff. Can reached out and grabbed her. He pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her. They stared into each other's eyes. Can suggested they leave before anything else happens.

They arrived back at the hotel and ran into Arzu. Can and Arzu went out on the balcony to talk. Arzu was more concerned with flirting with Can. Sanem did not like this woman and was jealous of her. Sanem kept interrupting their meeting and she eventually pulled the fire alarm. Can came out of the room and knew she pulled it. He secretly liked the fact that Sanem was jealous. Can told her to order dinner in because he was having dinner with Arzu. Sanem said she would not order dinner in. She was eating in the restaurant by the sea that she saw earlier. Can smiled and said fine. He left to have dinner with Arzu.

Sanem walked to the restaurant, thinking about Can the whole way. She took a dip in the sea and fantasized about Can being with her. Arzu's idea of dinner consisted of a detox smoothie, but no food. Can ordered a whiskey. Arzu talked his ear off, but he could not think of anything except Sanem. He left to go look for Sanem. He found her at the restaurant eating sardines with her fingers. He ordered himself a plate. Sanem gave him bites of her sardines. Can reached out to push a piece of hair out of her face. He then smiled at her. They ate, talked and laughed. When they were done, they walked along the beach and ended up sitting on the pier. Sanem told him of her dreams to write her own novel and to visit Galapagos. He told her that was where the albatross migrated. She smiled like a child and said I know. He told her to write her novel and he would read it with pleasure. He asked how she could stay so clean. She said she didn't know. He put his jacket on her due to the chilly air. Sanem asked him what they were doing? He was her boss. She asked what he was trying to do because she was aware of everything. Can said I see. He said from now on they would talk to each other like a boss and an employee. They left the pier to go get the car. They headed back to Istanbul.

The next day was the photo shoot with Arzu at Can's house. Sanem did not like this woman. She talked down to Sanem and bossed her around. Sanem had to wait on her hand and foot. Sanem tried to make Arzu's life a living hell with little things she was doing. Sanem found out Arzu was allergic to strawberries and tucked that away for future reference. Can kept secretly taking pictures of Sanem when she wasn't looking. Can did not like the fact that Sanem was deep in conversation with a bearded man. He interrupted their chat. When the shoot was over, Sanem stepped on Arzu's dress and tripped her. Can knew what she did, but Sanem said it was a rock and walked away smiling. Arzu sat outside with Can flirting and trying to kiss him. Sanem kept interrupting them. Arzu demanded a smoothie, so Sanem went and made her one, dropping numerous strawberries into the smoothie. Arzu came into the kitchen and drank it. She then told Sanem she could leave. Sanem looked at Can and said if you tell me to stay, I will stay. If you tell me to leave, I will leave. Can just stared at her, wondering what she actually meant by that. Arzu said leave. So, Sanem headed to the kitchen window to spy. Arzu tried to kiss Can, but her face was swelling up and turning red. Can brought it to her attention. She ran out of the house and headed to the hospital. Sanem grabbed the bowl of strawberries and tried to make a hasty exit before Can saw her.

She was almost to the door, when Can called her name. Sanem stopped and turned around, still holding the bowl of strawberries. Can grabbed a strawberry and ate it. He asked her why she did such a thing. He asked her if she was jealous of Arzu. Sanem said nothing. She handed the bowl of strawberries to Can and ran for the door. Can stopped her and shut the door. He leaned against it and told her no more running away. Sanem reached for the door handle and asked to leave. Can let her open the door. Can called out her name as she walked away and asked her again why she put strawberries in Arzu's drink. She told him she did it for him. The woman was suffocating him, crushing him. He told her he didn't ask for her help. Sanem apologized for interrupting his romantic time with Arzu. She walked outside.

Can followed her. He asked her what she was doing. First, she acts jealous. Then she is looking for her albatross. Then she reminds him they are boss and employee. He told her he didn't understand her. Sanem told him he had no right to ask such personal questions. He was her boss and she was just an employee. Can agreed. He told her he would only talk about work related topics from now on. Sanem left.

The next day, Can did just that. He spoke to Sanem only if it was work related. He hated it. He was starting to have these strange feelings for Sanem. He couldn't understand them. He had never felt this way before. Sanem tried to apologize to him but Can blew her off. They were having an inspection of the company today and Sanem knew they needed some sort of a break room. So, Sanem turned a part of the warehouse into a break room. She was so proud of herself.

Leyla sent Sanem to the printing house to pick up some flyers for a campaign. Can, Metin and Akif were there looking through a book of models for a women's fund campaign. Sanem walked into the printing house and Can, Metin and Akif could not stop admiring her beauty. Can went up to her and asked why she was there. She told him she was picking up flyers. He told her to wait by his truck and he would drive her back. She said OK. Can went back over to Metin and Akif, who could not stop smiling at Can. Can asked what? Both men said nothing, but still continued to smile. When they jumped in the truck, Sanem could not get her seat belt to release. Can leaned over her to help her with it. He could not take his eyes off of her. He smelled her fragrance. He was close enough to kiss her, but he didn't. He wanted to, more than anything. He just did not know how Sanem would react. Secretly, Sanem was dying for him to kiss her, but she stayed silent. They returned to the agency.
