Love on Retainer — Episode 20

College student Maya’s family hits rock bottom: her stepfather takes the blame for a hit-and-run accident, and her cruel stepmother keeps pressuring her for huge legal fees. Desperate, she meets Cole, a top-tier brilliant lawyer. They strike a deal—Maya relieves Cole’s chronic severe headaches, and Cole defends her father to reverse the verdict. As they spend more time together, Cole falls for Maya and grows possessive, constantly standing in the way of Lucas, a fellow intern who has a crush on her. Meanwhile, envious class Lana repeatedly frames and humiliates Maya, even plotting to harm her. During their internship at the law firm, ambiguous incidents and misunderstandings keep happening between Maya and Cole. While fighting against her stepmother’s demands and Lana’s malicious tricks, Maya gradually sees genuine feelings beneath their transactional bond. The pair team up to eliminate all workplace harassment, resolve all conflicts, and turn their temporary deal into sincere love.
