Hindi inaasahan ni Reiko Cordova na mapapasubo siya sa isang trabaho na hindi niya inaplayan. Ngunit dahil sa kagagawan ng nakakatanda na kapatid at walang iba na pagpipilian, kinailangan niya na pumalit dito bilang isang "kabit" ng guwapo at masungit na piloto na si Kenji Jarvis. Hindi inaasahan ni Kenji Jarvis na mapapasubo siya sa pag-aalok ng isang trabaho sa isang babae upang masiguro na hindi siya iiwan ng kan'yang asawa na nahuhumaling sa matalik na kaibigan nito.

Ang pagpapanggap ay mauuwi sa katotohanan nang isang gabi ay makalimot si Kenji sa kontrata. Ang babae na itinuturing lamang niya na isang pamalit sa kasunduan ay magkakaroon nang mas malalim na ugnayan at halaga sa kan'ya.
