Contract Marriage: Fake Dating My Showbiz Wife
**Fake dating?…what could possibly go wrong** Kim Mingwa is a struggling D-list artist whose career is hanging by a thread. Desperate to keep her place in the spotlight, she accidentally finds herself entangled with the most notorious playboy in the industry—the CEO of the number one entertainment company in the country. Known for his bad reputation and inflated ego, the CEO is the last person she wants to be associated with, but when a scandal between them explodes in the media, they’re forced to fake a relationship to salvage both their careers. --- Kim Mingwa stared in horror at the headline: *Scandal Erupts Between D-List Actress and Industry’s Bad Boy CEO!* “This isn’t happening,” she whispered, her voice shaking. Beside her, the CEO only smirked, completely unfazed. “Welcome to showbiz, Miss Kim.” Mingwa glared at him. “You think this is funny? My career is on the line!” “It’s simple,” he replied, his tone cold. “Play along, or get left behind.” She clenched her fists, knowing she was trapped. “Fine,” she muttered. “But don’t think you can easily take advantage of me.” His smirk widened. “I wouldn’t dream of it..”
It’ll be our little secret
Mingwa paused, her hand still gripping the wooden spoon in the pot. Her heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lip as she tried to gather her thoughts. "He told you about it?" she asked cautiously, her eyes flickering to the script on the kitchen table. "Yeah, I'm your manager girl, I have it here. But I didn't expect him to move this quickly."
Jihoon chuckled on the other end, though there was a nervous edge to it. "With Moon Taewoo, quick is the only speed he knows. He sounded pretty invested in you taking this role. It's a huge opportunity, Mingwa, but I need to know—are you sure you're okay with this?"
Mingwa hesitated, her mind flashing back to Taewoo's unsettling behavior earlier that day. His secretive smile, the intimidating warehouse, and the cryptic way he had told her not to share what she had seen. But the role… the role was exactly what she had been hoping for. It was challenging and could push her career to new heights.
