The lie quickly snowballs (due to several misunderstandings) until Ah-jung realizes that everyone is gossiping about her supposed, secret marriage to Hyun Ki-joon (Kang Ji-hwan), the wealthy president of World Hotel.

Ki-joon confronts Ah-Jung and asks her to rectify the situation as the rumor has spread to even his friends. Ki-joon and Ah-jung decide to take action to squash the rumors, with Ah-jung agreeing to call her friends together so she can confess her indiscretion. When this doesn't go as planned, Ki-joon decides to take legal action against Ah-jung. However, after a series of events that bond the pair, they agree that pretending to be married for a short while would be mutually beneficial. Ki-joon says that inspire of this, Ah-jung's lie is not forgiven and threatens to eventually follow through with his lawsuit.
