22-year-old clerk Thea Wells suffers endless exploitation from her money-greedy mother Nora and gambling-addicted brother Leo. Desperate for cash, she misdials Cole Vaughn, the powerful CEO of Mingsheng Group, mistaking his line for a high-paid companion recruitment.
She later shows up at his venue by mistake. Cole offers her 5,000 to pretend to be his girlfriend as a decoy, sparking an intimate secret bond. The next workday, Thea is horrified to find Cole her new boss.
Plagued by workplace bullying from supervisor Rowan, family betrayal, and a dangerous trap set by client Jay, Thea sinks into despair. Cole shields her, clears all threats, and falls deeply in love with her.
After resolving her family’s huge gambling debts and defeating jealous rival Delilah, Cole proposes to Thea. She blossoms into a confident speaker at a business summit. The two hold a grand wedding, and Thea pays forward kindness to other troubled young women.
