Tina's heart pounded as she trudged home, her dreams shattered by rejection. But fate had other plans in store. Suddenly, a group of relentless creditors cornered her, demanding their money. Anger surged within Tina, fueling her determination. With a fiery spirit, she fought back, refusing to be defeated. "I'll repay every penny once I find a good job!" she declared, her voice unwavering. Tina, still wiping away tears, arrived home to find her concerned father waiting. When he asked what happened, she simply replied, "Nothing, Dad." She didn't want to burden him with her struggles. Instead, Tina resolved to channel her emotions into motivation, vowing to find a way to overcome the obstacles that lay before her. Tina's father relayed a surprising message about a job offer for her from a mysterious company. Intrigued and filled with curiosity, Tina collects the contact information and plans to call the person the next day. Tina couldn't contain her excitement as she dialed the number, her heart racing with anticipation. The voice on the other end introduced himself as Mr. Williams, the enigmatic billionaire CEO of Anderson Global Enterprises. He explained that he had heard about Tina's exceptional skills and wanted her to join his company. Tina's jaw dropped in disbelief. Little did she that the caller was the man she met at the coffee shop. On that bright sunny day, Mr. Williams was busy in his office, meticulously organizing files when his secretary's voice echoed through the intercom. "Mr. Williams, Tina is here," she said. With a hint of intrigue, he instructed his secretary to bring Tina into his office, curious to meet the person who had caught his attention. Tina stood in awe, marveling at the breathtaking view that stretched out before her. The glimmering cityscape sparkled in the sunlight, casting a mesmerizing glow. She couldn't help but be captivated by the beauty of it all. Questions raced through her mind as she wondered why they had chosen her for a job she hadn't even applied for. The secretary guided her towards the office, but just as she was about to step inside, Mr. Williams hurriedly emerged. An emergency meeting with the shareholders had arisen, pulling him away. Tina's heart raced with anticipation, eager to discover who passed her by. Mr. Williams entered the meeting room and was surprised to see his dad, stepbrother, and other shareholders present. They began discussing the succession plan, with his stepbrother, Mr. Mike, eagerly asserting his readiness to take over. A mischievous smile played on Mr. Mike's face, aware of the rejection he had faced from his brother's girlfriend, who had left the country to pursue her acting career. However, Mr. Williams stunned them all by announcing that he would be getting married in just two weeks. The room fell silent, and the atmosphere filled with intrigue and anticipation. And with a determined stride, Mr. Williams rose from his seat, leaving the meeting room behind. He made his way back to his office, his mind filled with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. As he closed the door behind him, he took a deep breath, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. The weight of his decision to marry in just two weeks hung in the air, but he was resolute in his choice. With a sense of purpose, he sat down at his desk, ready to take charge and navigate the intricate web of his personal and professional life. As Miss Tina rose from her seat, she greeted Mr. Williams with a warm smile. However, he seemed preoccupied and brushed past her without acknowledging her greeting. He swiftly called his secretary into the office, instructing him to bring two files. The secretary promptly entered, holding the requested files in his hands. Mr. Williams began delving into the contents, his mind focused on the tasks at hand. The air in the office was filled with a sense of urgency. Tina's surprise was palpable as she realized that the man she had encountered at the coffee shop was none other than the CEO of the company. She couldn't help but wonder how such an arrogant man could be at the helm of this prestigious organization. However, she remained composed and collected, taking the file that Mr. Williams had passed to her. As she reviewed its contents, Mr. Williams glanced at her and asked, "Are you shocked?" Tina mustered a smile and replied, "I must admit, it's quite unexpected”. Tina's rejection reverberated through the room, her voice filled with a mix of disbelief and anger. She couldn't fathom why Mr. Williams, the billionaire with a reputation for arrogance, would propose a contract marriage. Her eyes narrowed as she confronted him, her words dripping with frustration. "Why would I subject myself to this absurdity?" she exclaimed, her tone laced with defiance. Mr. Williams, undeterred, leaned back in his chair, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Think about it, Tina," he said, his voice oozing with confidence. "This arrangement could benefit us both in ways you can't even imagine." Her anger surged, fueling her resolve. She stood up abruptly, her movements filled with purpose. "I won't be a pawn in your game," she declared, her voice resonating with determination. "I won't sign this rubbish contract." And with that, she stormed out of the room, leaving Mr. Williams to grapple with the consequences of underestimating her strength and resolve. Mr. Williams couldn't believe the turn of events. It was the second time he had faced rejection in his marriage proposals, and it left him bewildered. While he understood his girlfriend's reasons for saying no, he couldn't wrap his head around Tina's decision. After all, she had a sick father to take care of and a mountain of debt to pay off. It seemed like a golden opportunity for both of them to benefit from a mutually beneficial arrangement. As he sat in his luxurious office, deep in thought, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Tina's story. There had to be a reason why she chose to turn down his offer. Determined to unravel the mystery, Mr. Williams instructed his secretary to gather more information about Tina's background and current circumstances.
