If I Hadn't Met You

After ten years of being together, Lori breaks up with her boyfriend. They work at the same law firm, so she has to face him every day. It's a real torment. The breakup is extremely hard for her, and the thought of starting to date someone again fills her with dread. But fate has other plans: Lori gets stuck in an office elevator with the local playboy. Jamie Carter doesn't believe in love, but he urgently needs a steady girlfriend to make the right impression on his bosses and get a promotion. And Lori really wants to get back at her ex-boyfriend and make him jealous of the most handsome man in the office. Jamie and Lori decide to help each other and pretend to be the perfect couple. But there's a fine line between pretending and actually falling in love with her charming, handsome and... fake boyfriend. “Beautiful and touching.
