What do you call a girl with long black hair always fixed on a braided style? What do you call a girl who wear not-so-thick eyeglasses even though her eye sight is fine? How do you call a girl who never had a boyfriend on her 25 years of existence?
A nerd? You can say that, but she's actually not.
Her long black hair is braided dahil ayaw niyang nakasasagap ng alikabok iyon. She's wearing an eyeglasses because she doesn't want them to see how she rolled her almond shaped eyes to nonsense people. She never had a boyfriend dahil wala pang pumapasa sa standards niya.
Candida Cecilia Madrigal or simply Candy is a woman with high standards. Lahat ng bagay sa paligid niya, may kapintasan. Kung may super powers nga lang siya gagawin niyang perfect and lahat.
Candy is also a woman full of confidence. The way she walks, the way she talks and the way she move shows how sophisticated and classy she is.
Even though she always wear her long skirts paired with long sleeve blouses, she can always find her ways to show how different she is among the girls who always wear dresses na sobrang kipot at kulang na kulang sa tela. With her outfit, hindi pa rin maitatago ang ganda ng kaniyang katawan at kinis ng kaniyang balat.
The way she carry her black pumps is so intimidating. The moment she entered her company and the moment her employees hear the 'tak-tak-tak' of her killer pumps. Girl! You've got to fix yourself or else, you'll be thrown out of her company.
Nerd is such a cliche feature of ladies in a book. Pero si Candy ang klase ng nerd na nang-aakit gamit lamang ang pula nitong labi at matalim nitong mata.
Don't wait for that red lips of her to open because the moment she did, thousands of unpleasant words will come out.
Kaya sa opisina, lahat ng empleyado niya ay takot magkamali. Their boss's eyes are like daggers. Actually, nakakakaba ang mga mata nito kaysa sa mga salitang maaaring lumabas sa bibig nito kapag galit.
But don't get them wrong, she might be scary when angry but whenever she's pleased with her employees' hard work, they always get a reward.
Every men wants her to bend her knees for them, or at least tame her, pero walang sino man ang makakagawa non.
Si Candida Cecilia? Magpapa-under sa lalaki? The mighty CEO of Brightright Magazine?No way! Sobrang ganda niya para magpa-under lang.
Her mommy told her na kahit anong suotin at ayos niya, maganda pa rin siya. Ang mga gandang kagaya ng sa kaniya, dapat iniingatan at pinahahalagahan.
Nasa kaniya na ang lahat. Beauty, brain, money—though, she's not that famous kahit na ang maganzine niya ang pinakasikat sa Asya. She doesn't care naman.
But despite those privileges, she had a loveless beauty.
Sino ba kasi ang magkakagusto sa babaeng parang laging may dalaw? Sa babaeng sobrang prankang magsalita at sa babaeng walang thrill kagaya niya? Kung may manliligaw man siya, siguradong ang pribelehiyong makukuha sa kaniya o kaya naman na-challenge ang maaaring habol ng mga ito. Bagay na nakatatak sa utak niya.
Well, she's just 25, malay niya ilang oras, araw, at buwan na lang ang hihintayin niya para makita ang right man niya? Kahit siguro hindi na perfect. Kahit mangalahati lang sa standards niya, pasok na!
Little did she know, the man destined for her won't even reach one third of her standards.

Rosh Havier San Miguel is a young and handsome bachelor. He's playful in a very manly way.
It's so easy for him to get what he wants. Without even lifting a finger. He just need to smile and wink, and that's it! He'll get everything in this world.
His women were lined up just like his suit and ties, shoes and watches.
May listahan na nga siya ng mga ide-date niya sa linggong ito. Hay, gwapo nga naman!
Well, who wouldn't love to have a date with the famous CEO of San Miguel Empire?
He doesn't believe in love, what more marriage? Romantic relationship might work for others but for him, nah.
Sa panahon ngayon, uso pa ba 'yon?
Until he met that sexy nerd. She's giving him mixed signals and it's frustrating for Rosh. That girl is making him crazy. Gagawin niya ang lahat makuha lang ang dalaga.
At kung makuha niya, anong susunod? It's not like he'll fall in love with her. Right. Not for that reason why he wants her in her bed, naked and weak.
He just want to prove her that he is right about how irresistible he is, that his touches can tame the lioness and that the mighty Candida Cecilia who never accept defeat will finally bow her head to him.
But Candy would never allow that to happen, their fight is never ending. She might be the winner today but he will do his best to catch up the next day.
No wonder why she is loveless despite the thing she got. Kalaban ang tingin niya sa kahit na sino.
Lalo na kay Rosh. Gustong-gusto niya burahin ang mga ngisi nito. Kung hindi lang krimen ang pumugot ng ulo dahil inis na inis talaga siya sa mukha nito, ginawa niya na.
Wala namang sayang e. Mukang wala din naman laman ang utak nito kung hindi makamundong pagnanasa.
She will never accept defeat. She will do everything to bring that asshole down. Her anger towards him is extreme.
But the moment she felt like victory is on her side, it doesn't make her happy. Something's not right.
"Fine! You win. I hope that boost your ego and pride. Now I realize why you are loveless.....
Because you're heartless."
