She worked her way up from an entry-level office job to manager, diligent and conscientious, only to be made the fall guy deputy general manager when the boss's daughter parachuted into the company.
Everyone urged her to put up with it. She chose to wait for her moment. Put up with it? Better to ride the wind to the top.
When she meets an obsessive, lovesick investor, she doesn't fall for him. She uses her head:
She learns business by borrowing his insight, builds her future with his resources, then quits to start her own company and become her own queen.
To her, marriage has never been about love. It's a contract between partners.
He sees the scars left by her childhood betrayal at the hands of family, and knows she trusts money, not people.
He doesn't demand her love or ask her to compromise.
He transfers all his assets into her name and signs the harshest agreement:
If he cheats, he walks away with nothing. If they split up, she gets most of his fortune.
After they marry, she builds her career, and he has her back.
More than friends, not quite lovers,
The steadiest kind of companionship is understanding your fears and standing by you as you become yourself.
