She said “You and Kate are from different worlds. I don’t like you. I don’t respect you. And you need get over it.” Then, Kate’s mother gave him a card of fifty thousand dollars which was a year’s salary for Nick.

Hearing this, Nick asked Kate if she really wanted to go to Europe. Kate explained to him, “It’s Mom’s arrangement. You know I can’t say no to that. She controls everything.” Nick said he could help her. Kate didn’t believe that because from her eyes, Nick could barely afford to feed himself and he couldn’t help her fight them back. 

Before Kate left, she gave Nick hope. She proposed that they would work really hard separately and when she came back, she would marry him. Nick was happy to hear that. And he promised that he would build an empire and when she came back, he would give her the wedding of the century. 

Just as the two were saying their goodbyes, the mother in the car called Kate to hurry up and get in the car. The plane was about to take off and they couldn't miss it.
