Synopsis
editSuccessful property manager Molly Ling has a golden touch. The shopping malls under her management have won countless awards. She is also a super control freak. As her number one assistant, her cousin Cherry Ling is totally under her control and works hard for Molly. She learns to flirt superficially, helping Molly smooth over many problems. Just as Molly is looking forward to moving up the company to be appointed to the board of directors, the company brings in Gordon Man, a marketing visionary, to be her equal. Thus begins the power struggle fueled by hatred and ego between the ex-couple. Meanwhile, Cherry discovers that her boyfriend Hanson Ho has cheated on her. In her time of disappointment, she encounters a deeply compassionate gentleman, Saving Ching. But just when she believes their relationship will blossom into love, Cherry finds out that Saving is abnormally afraid of marriage. Can the two cousins, both competent women, but unable to flirt, ultimately reverse their misfortune and find happiness?[1][2]
