You can't hate your parents.
Yeah, well did your parents send you away so they could restart their lives without you because you remind them of someone who died. Not to mention, forced you to play the business game.
Face it. My life sucks.
Marella is "strongly encouraged" to move to a new town with her brother to build up a rising business. Her father, believing it best for their family to separate for some time, enrolls her in a private school which, surprise surprise, is full of fancy-schmancy rich, hormonal people. And guess what? Everyone takes an interest in the new girl who doesn't act like the pristine, arrogant business culture.
Boys want business marriages.
Girls want ripped contracts.
But no one knows what Marcella wants.
Maybe that hot guy staring at her.
Maybe her hot lab partner.
Or Maybe she's playing it safe and just wants to drink tea and read a book.
