Chloe and Aiden worked for marketing company. They were rival. The company had policy of no relationship between its workers. So, they were just flirting without doing the actual deed. It worked for two years until they had to go on business trip together, as rival.
They had to market a resort which specialized in couple making. To avoid other women hit on him, he offered Chloe to be couple with him so they could concentrate on their business. But their bottled attraction sparked and they have some wild nights ahead. On their last "vacation" day, Aiden finally told Chloe about his divorce. His ex-wife, a career woman, aborted their baby because she didn't want to sacrifice her career. He felt betrayed and since then he avoid career women, such as Chloe. When Chloe woke up on the next day, Aiden was already gone. He left her broken-hearted.
When she was about to go home, she found their competitor trying to present their presentation. Didn't want to lose the deal, she also presented hers and Aiden's, separately. He told her he would tell her boss of his decision. When the boss phoned Aiden to tell him about the decision, which he won, he didn't hear his words past "Chloe presented a matchmaker presentation". He just assumed the worst of her. He jumped to conclusion, that Chloe stole his idea. On the next day, he confronted her and said many hurtful things, didn't even want to hear her explanation. And when they were summoned by the boss, he said that the matchmaker idea was his idea, not Chloe's. And when the boss confirmed this, he was shocked. Chloe didn't steal his idea, she helped him instead, by presented his presentation when she didn't have to because he was away. In the end, he regretted everything he said and apologized to her. She didn't swayed in the beginning, but when he said he loved her, she forgave him.
Arghhhh! I was sooo mad with Aiden! He was despicable. I wish he groveled a bit more until he covered in dirt! She forgave him too easily. She helped him, but what did he do? He assumed the worst of her and claimed she had betrayed him, without knowing the facts. Cliche plots sometimes are okay, if the storytelling are engaging. But this is just cliche plot with simple story, emphasized on sexes. Just another simple erotica.
