The next thing is to meet the journalist while he is running in the park and pretend not to see him. For the next level, they need a woman, so they turn to Ashley (Liza Koshy), an office colleague who is delighted to participate in Players Movie. With her help, she meets Nick at a public movie screening. Although they don’t talk much, they make it clear that they have similar interests.
Mack’s group of friends discover that Nick is going on a third date with a doctor and orchestrate a plan to get her out of the way and provoke another chance meeting between Mackenzie and Russell. With this, the protagonist of the Netflix romantic film manages to start a serious relationship with Nick. As the relationship progresses, Mack feels that it is not what he is looking for, and the differences between the two are increasingly evident.

Adam does so immediately, congratulating her on her writing and encouraging her to present it to her boss. Nick is busy with the progress of his new book that he must send to his editor, so it takes him a week to read a couple of pages, and when he finally does, he finds it boring and decides to rewrite Mack’s article, removing the essence of his girlfriend. When Adam finds out that Mack won’t present the text because of Nick, he gets very angry and argues with his friend.
Later, Mack confronts Nick, who berates him for not taking criticism. She explains that it’s not about her text but about him modifying her article without talking to her first and that what he finds boring is what represents her. Realizing that this relationship is going nowhere, she decides to break up with him. While out with his friends, except for Adam, Mack sees the latter’s girlfriend kissing another guy. Of course, he confronts her, and the woman explains that she broke up with Adam because she’s in love with Mack, who doesn’t believe that’s possible, but she accepts it when her friends confirm it.
