The Pretend Couple: A High Stakes RomanceUpdated at Sep 23, 2023, 08:56
Alice is a lawyer who adheres strictly to the ethical standards of the profession. It is challenging for her because she is forced to continue working alongside her former boyfriend, the man she once believed she would marry. Particularly in light of the fact that he recently became engaged to the stunning new associate attorney at the firm. She is close to receiving a promotion, which is something she has been striving for during her entire career. This would be the next stage in her extensive plan, but she does not yet have a significant other. She loses her cool and announces that she has a boyfriend when the position is dangled in front of her. Except that she doesn't. To be honest, no.
Fredrick is an exceptionally kind person. It has everything you could desire in a man: being hot, nice, and charming. While restoration is his true love, he makes a living working for the construction company that his father founded. He had been attending classes to become an architect, but when his family required his assistance, he put his education on hold to be there for them. Only by doing so did he wind up losing his lover because the life he was leading was not what she had envisioned for herself. It left him with a negative impression of women in general, but when he met Alice, something clicked between them. Because she is so prim and proper, he can't help but wonder what it would be like to coax a little bit of spontaneity out of her.
Fredrick is the one to call if Alice has home improvement work that needs to be done. Things just work out for the best, and when he learns that she needs a boyfriend for her company functions, they realise that the two of them together will be ideal. His sister is going through a terrible divorce, and he wants someone to help her, but his sister refuses to accept handouts. Only in the event that Alice pretends to be his girlfriend and then offers her legal services, would there be a chance that she will accept it, resulting in a win for everyone involved. Everything appears to be going according to plan; Fredrick's sister receives assistance, and Alice is promoted.
During the course of all of this "pretend dating," they naturally develop actual feelings for one another. Alice had always believed that she wanted her ex-boyfriend back, but now that things are getting more serious with Fredrick, should she still be thinking that? In addition, when things at work become a little bit complicated, she is required to make some significant judgements. These two were a really sweet pair when they were together. They go through some highs and lows, but overall, it was a very enjoyable and light read.
