They're both from a whole 'nother world, and they both have different plans on their future. But what does fate have to say about it?

Heeeeeeyyaa guysss! :) Here's my new story! I hope you're interested, because I think this is going to be my best one yet! Okay… I have decided Breathless is going to be on hold, because it sucks too much. Don't worry, I'll still be updating 'A Heart Calls'!
This story is based on a Korean drama called, 'Secret Garden', but with my MAJOR twists. Hope you enjoy! :)
Third POV! I'm getting the hang of it!
22 year old Cato Tefuel, parked his car on his reserved spot, outside of the tall concrete museum.
The blond lifts his shades up to his head, squinting when the bright sun shines down on him, and opens the car door. He stands up, smoothing his suit out to remove any unwanted wrinkles, before heading inside the building, attending another arranged date.
Moving his head side to side, he spots a certain blonde, sitting on one of the marbled benches. She's wearing a blue ruffled blouse, a black pencil skirt, and simple black heels. She has a black clutch with a gold chain strap on her right shoulder.
The blond strides towards her, stopping when he's few yards behind her. "Glimmer Lockhart." He calls.
She turns her head towards him, flipping her wavy golden blonde hair, and flashes him her one million dollar smile.
Glimmer gets up and happily joins him at his side, and they begin walking around the museum. As they continue walking in silence, Glimmer starts to get bored. She doesn't know what to say to start a conversation so she scans the room, and finds a banner that shows the new displays.
"So Cato…are you into the new abstract art collection here in the museum?" Glimmer says, looking at the side of Cato's head. "We must be the only couple doing marriage dates at an art museum." She points out.
"I do it so I don't waste time." He says simply, leaving a confused Glimmer.
"What do you mean?" she asks, brows furrowed.
Cato halts and turns to look at her. "The way you walk shows your personality type, the way you look at art shows your level of intelligence. Whether you belong in an art museum or a club,"" He pauses, and leans close to Glimmer's ear.
"Or whether your taste of perfume is alluring or refined," he says in a low tone, taking a step back, and continues. "They are all answered quickly."
When people first look at them, they might think that they're the perfect couple, and some may say otherwise, like Cato. He's been on numerous dates- arranged dates, to be exact, planned by his matchmaking mother.
Cato's been practically trained to be the perfect son and heir to the large department store his dad worked blood, sweat, and tears to build. His mother wants him to be with a woman that is at his level, by intelligence, looks, personality, job, and money.
They then continue wandering around, and finally settle down on a wooden bench, in the museum's garden.
"You're free to leave if you want. I'm not interested in arranged marriage with a reluctant partner. I'm not looking forward to a marriage without love. I'm too hot-headed to live as an obedient girl who only follows what her parents want her to do." Glimmer explains, trying to sound liberated and free thinking, hopefully impressing Cato by her words, that aren't even hers. But Cato thinks otherwise.
"There must be people who think love is important, but because of some stupid love hormones, they're ignoring status, education, background, and their abilities. Having an arranged marriage pairs you with a partner that is at your level, makes everything easier to communicate and understand." Glimmer opens her mouth to reply, but Cato interrupts her. "If you're really the hot-headed type, that picks the idiot over the prince charming," He pauses for a second, and then continues. "I'll pass."
"Should I tell the family that I was the one that got dumped? I don't want to hear another lecture form my mother, so let's make it our story. Good?" Cato asks as he swipes any dust of his pants, before getting up from the bench, and walking out the exit doors.
Glimmer pouts at his words, expecting him to be impressed and respect about what she 'thinks'.
"Was I that obvious?" she mutters to herself, before leaving the muesuem herself.
