    In the bustling city of New York, a man named Max and a woman named Lily crossed paths. They were polar opposites. Max was a successful stockbroker, and Lily was a single mom striving to make ends meet. The two lived in entirely different worlds, yet destiny had other plans for them.

    One day, while rushing to work, Max bumped into Lily, causing her to spill her coffee. Annoyed, he offered her a terse apology before disappearing into the crowd. Lily, on the other hand, was left in a daze, her day off to a terrible start.
