My name is Evelyn Brown. I represent the company in the IPO bidding process. Halfway through my presentation, I notice everyone in the room staring at me with puzzled expressions. In that instant, I realize my PowerPoint slides have been swapped for a "Paid Surrogate" advertisement. The wording is utterly humiliating. "I've lived the first 20 years of my life in a poor mountain village. I'm healthy and can promise a son. My price is negotiable." I rush backstage, only to see the impoverished student my father, Eric Brown, has sponsored for years laughing uncontrollably. Leaning against my fiance, Dwayne Woodruff, Katherine Cadwell says, "Oh, Ms. Brown, don't be upset! I was just teasing you to lighten the mood. You just got back home. Don't stress yourself out so much." I grab her arm, insisting she come out and explain herself. But out of nowhere, Dwayne shoves me to the floor. "You've just returned," he says. "We only pulled a little prank on you because we didn't want you to be too tense. If you can't handle even this amount of pressure, how can you be expected to take over the company?" I can't help but scoff. Right in front of them, I send the live recording straight to my father, the CEO. Without a second thought, I dial his number. "Dad, look at what your 'star scholarship student' just pulled. Can we have her and Dwayne kicked out of the company?"

Der reichste Mann in Havenburg, Niklas Hoffmann, lag drei Jahre lang im Koma. Seine Ehefrau, Clara Weber, hatte ihn in dieser Zeit aufopferungsvoll gepflegt.

Seine Freunde, die sie nie ernst genommen hatten, spotteten: „Der schöne Schwan ist zurück Zeit, das hässliche Entlein loszuwerden.“ Erst da wurde Clara klar, dass Niklas sie nie geliebt hatte. Sie war nichts weiter als ein erbärmlicher Witz in seinem Leben. Eines Abends erhielt Niklas dann das Scheidungsdokument von Frau Hoffmann.

Doch dann sah er Clara – einst unscheinbar, jetzt in einem langen Kleid, mit eleganter, lässiger Haltung im Schein glitzernder Lichter – verwandelt in eine angesehene Medizinerin. Als sie ihn kommen sah, lächelte sie anmutig und sagte: „Herr Hoffmann, sind Sie hier zur Untersuchung in der Andrologie?“

After encountering problems at work, I lose myself in a virtual reality game. I randomly meet a male player in there and depend on my amorous interactions with him to escape reaity.
