The Last Time

Ted Riker, the top salesman at New York’s Bineview office, faces an unexpected challenge when he is assigned to mentor the inexperienced Jamie Bashant. Despite Ted’s diligent efforts to guide Jamie through the complexities of their roles, Jamie’s continual clumsiness proves to be a significant frustration.

In the midst of their professional turmoil, Ted encounters Belisa, Jamie’s fiancée, who is irresistibly drawn to Ted’s magnetic confidence and charm. Their connection quickly intensifies into a passionate affair, shrouded in secrecy and fraught with complications that threaten to upend their lives. During their rendezvous, Ted opens up about his past heartbreaks and the choices that led him to abandon academia for a lucrative career in sales.

As their relationship deepens, both Ted and Belisa find a shared interest in Oscar Wilde’s celebrated work, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which becomes a backdrop for their clandestine exchanges. However, as Ted’s focus on his sales job wanes, his numbers begin to falter, jeopardizing the company’s stability.

Belisa attempts to heal Ted’s emotional wounds, but her efforts prove futile as Jamie’s incompetence reaches a breaking point, leading to his dismissal from the company. As Jamie grapples with suspicions of Belisa’s fidelity, he spirals deeper into instability. In a moment of difficult decision-making, Belisa chooses to part ways with Ted to mend her relationship with Jamie.

Just when it seems all is lost for Ted, Belisa surprises him by returning, having liberated herself from her previous commitments. Their love flourishes briefly, but their newfound happiness is cut short as Bineview faces a dire crisis, with its stock value plummeting amidst fierce competition.

As the company teeters on the edge of collapse, Ted finds an unexpected sense of freedom. A visit to Belisa’s place reveals her absence, as well as the unsettling notion that Jamie and Belisa have been conspiring together against him. In an alarming twist, Jamie is unveiled as a savvy strategist, not merely an inept salesman but a cunning operative orchestrating a scheme to dismantle Bineview from within.

While Jamie revels in his manipulation of Ted’s declining sales figures, Belisa is overtaken by the weight of their shared betrayal, prompting her to withdraw in search of solitude. Meanwhile, Ted embarks on a path filled with uncertainties, yet the flicker of rekindled passion lifts his spirits. Back at Belisa’s home, she discovers a heartfelt message from Ted hidden within The Picture of Dorian Gray, leading her to a painful realization: Ted was not oblivious to their secret affairs.

This shocking truth shatters Belisa’s heart, leaving her to grapple with the repercussions of their deceit. The film culminates with Ted embracing his true passions once again, radiating a sense of joy and fulfillment as he finds clarity in a life redirected toward what truly matters.
