Sanay si Dominic Villaruel, isang gwapong bilyonaryo at may-ari ng kilalang hotel chain, na habulin at pagsilbihan ng mga babaeng halos mag-unahan para lamang mapansin siya. Dahil sa tingin niya’y pare-pareho lang ang lahat—nahuhulog sa kanyang yaman at sa kinang ng kanyang kagwapuhan—hindi niya kailanman sineseryoso ang pag-ibig. Mayabang, arogante, at sarado ang puso; iyon ang mundong matagal na niyang nakasanayan. Ngunit biglang nag-iba ang lahat nang makilala niya si Mira Santos, isang tahimik at introvert na staff sa kanyang hotel. Sa unang pagkikita, ni hindi siya nito binigyan ng tingin—para bang ang kinang ng kanyang itsura ay wala lang. Sa halip na ikababa ng kanyang ego, mas lalo siyang naiintriga. Unti-unti, natuklasan ni Dominic na sa likod ng pagiging mahiyain ni Mira ay may matatag at matalinong babaeng kayang suwayin ang kanyang kayabangan. At sa bawat saglit na magkasama sila, tila isang pana ng kupido ang muling bumuhay sa pusong matagal nang naniniwala na hindi na muling iibig. Hindi niya akalain—ang babaeng hindi man lang siya pinapansin ang siya palang dahilan ng pagbagsak ng kanyang pusong matagal nang sarado sa pag-ibig.
