Plot
Cheska (Jennylyn Mercado) falls in love with her boss Darrell (Wendell Ramos). But their age differences and Cheska's immature and childish nature hamper their relationship. The two constantly engage in verbal battles.
In a few chance encounters, Claire (Jean Garcia) meets Darrell and sparks fly between the two. During Darrell's predicament over his love life, he finds consolation in Claire, who is more mature and understanding beyond her years. What's more, Claire is smarter and more charming compared to Cheska.
Soon, Darrell discovers that Claire is Cheska's mom. And that's when things really get complicated. This revelation marks a deep estrangement between mother and daughter.
Can Claire and Cheska bridge the gap that tarnished their relationship? How will Darrell resolve the conflict between the two women who play important roles in his life? As the mother and daughter relationship is tested, can this still be saved? [1]
