Steffy Forrester was sent to Tokyo, Japan to learn about business and get a better grasp of it. When she was set to return, she would take over her family's fashion house, Forrester Creations.

For six months she learned, watched, and observed everything around her. It was during this time she grabbed the attention of the Chairman and CEO of Nakamura Tech, Pierce Nakamura, by going up against one of his hard nosed executives.

After that day, they spent as much time as they could together, getting to know each other in more ways then one. Steffy's six months in Tokyo ended faster then either of them realized. Before she left he vowed to always be there for her no matter what.

Two years went by and they still kept in touch. Even after she became engaged to Liam Spencer, he was still there ready to step in. Little did Steffy know, she was going to need him more then ever.
