When two powerhouse CEOs, Victoria Ivy and Alexander Phill, go head-to-head over every meeting, their animosity is instant and intense. Victoria is fierce, unyielding, and dedicated to running her company with precision. Alexander, CEO of a competing company, is equally relentless and has a reputation for winning at all costs. But still they both can't deny the sparks that ignite whenever they meet. With their professional lives clashing, the board demands they work together to make much more profit and name - and neither is willing to back down.
To make matters more complicated, Victoria's best friend, Elena Charles, is a playful, cheeky yet a kind hearted doctor who's been her voice of reason and support. But Elena is struggling with a little drama of her own: she's like a goddess in the eyes of her shy colleague, Dr. Xavier Lloyd, who is smitten but can't bring himself to confess to her.
As Victoria and Alexander continue to butt heads, sparks fly, and they start to realize that their initial friction might be hiding something deeper. Can they find common ground amidst the boardroom battles, or will their ambition tear them apart? And as Victoria's life heats up, will Dr. Xavier ever confess to Elena?
