She's fighting for her rightful place, and he's trying to defend his. Together, they both stand a chance at overcoming every obstacle in their way.
When a CEO is told to find a spouse or lose the controlling shares of his own company, he offers a contract marriage to a woman with just as much to gain from the arrangement as he does. He offers the ousted heiress fighting for her place and trying to protect her father's legacy the edge she needs to win her battles, as long as she agrees to stand beside him and help him defend the position that's rightfully his.
Unfortunately, their union is exactly what everyone trying to tear them both down fears, and they plan to stop at nothing to break them apart.

Can I date you?
"Can I date you?" His brows were very expressive and now the light of his green eyes shone when I showed a difficult expression; it was after all reflected in his eyes. "No" His body that was crouched to level against my small frame stood up; he was massively intimidating yet he always reminds me of the goofy joker we have in the back of our high school class. "It's fine, I'll ask you again" "Give up, I don't want to fall in love with a player like you, no offense" I bit my lower lip in contemplation, I didn't hate him nor dislike him. In particular, we get along well to the point that it still surprises me today. But I just don't want to get hurt. I can already see it in the future and I know I'm too negative but I just don't want to risk my heart for something I knew won't go well. 'But what if it did?' My heart whispered but I buried it down, not wanting to fall into my truest desire and his green playful eyes. "None taken" He gave me that familiar smirk of his which left me somewhat annoyed and when I was about to turn back, I stop in my tracks when I heard his words. "You know I'll always ask you for a date because I like you right? This is not a joke or a bet. I genuinely like you so if you finally have the decision to agree on a date with me then I'll show you that what you fear is not gonna happen" With that, I glared at him and rushed out of the door with my face flushed and my lips were spread widely a silly smile. *** This is a work of fiction, a story that I made in a whim when I was washing dishes and yes, I wanted the cliche womanizing male lead and awkward female lead so strap your belts for a story that will deviate from what you think the story is!
