Charlotte Austin 27 Years Old, Wealthy, Billionaire, Sophisticated, Sexy, Single and Lonely. Engfa Waraha 30 Years Old, Hardworking, Simple, Kind-hearted, Beautiful and Charismatic At her father's urging to find a partner, Charlotte Austin has entered into a contractual agreement with Engfa Waraha to be her temporary wife. But will the two of them only build a temporary and fake relationship ? Or will they continue their contractual agreement to become life partners forever ?

The Waraha family and the Austin family had long shared a close friendship, to the point where they agreed to establish a company together - Waratin Group. As a symbol of trust and generational legacy, their daughters, Engfa Waraha and Charlotte Austin, were appointed as co-CEOs of the company. However, what was thought to be a decision that would unite the two families instead became the beginning of an unexpected conflict. Engfa and Charlotte despised each other - not because of some major event or clear grudge, but rather a hatred whose origin they themselves couldn't explain. Whenever they met, arguments were inevitable. Their opinions rarely aligned, and every conversation easily turned into a quarrel. Frustrations and anger often spilled over onto their respective teams. Engfa's team consisted of Nessa, Aoom, and Patcha, while Charlotte's was made up of Tina, Malin, and Snack. The situation grew even more complicated when Charlotte hired a new staff member, a beautiful and talented woman named Lingling Kwong. Since Lingling's arrival, Charlotte became more open and spent much of her time with her new staff. Unexpectedly, Lingling was secretly harboring feelings for Charlotte. Engfa began to notice something strange within herself. She felt uneasy whenever she saw the closeness between Charlotte and Davika. Jealousy ? But why ? She had never liked Charlotte... or had she ? Things grew even more tangled when Engfa ran into an old friend from university, Jeff Satur, a man who once had feelings for her. His presence sparked yet another conflict - because this time, Charlotte seemed uncomfortable seeing Engfa with him. Two hearts, both denying their true feelings, were now confronted with one big question: Do they truly hate each other... or are they hiding something much deeper ?
