Your Character
Rival Matchmaker meets you on Valentine's Day at your father's bar, the Stockyard. As a matchmaker, he/she works the holiday rather than goes on dates of his/her own. You help Rival Matchmaker with his/her clients, and later after a walk in the park, you two become intimate. He/She invites you to his/her company's own Valentine's Day party (which takes place the day after Valentine's Day) and introduces you to his/her boss. Although Rival doesn't appear to be upset that Veronica offered you a job, he/she is upset about having to compete for a position that he/she thought he/she was being given. It is hard for you to get straight answers out of him/her and although you two are sexually attracted to each other, Rival infuriates you. He/She tells you that it is forbidden for co-workers to date at Two's Co. and that you two cannot date in the future.

Veronica Roberts
Veronica Roberts is his/her boss. Rival Matchmaker thought he/she was the heir apparent to take over the company when Veronica steps down, but is surprised when Veronica decides to make it a competition between the matchmakers. Rival feels that Veronica doesn't take him/her seriously because she has made the promotion to CEO a competition rather than rewarding him/her for his/her work.

In Chapter 11, her soon-to-be ex-husband, Richard, is his "surprise" match for Veronica. Rival thought that maybe if they had magic together in the past, they could rekindle their love. Rival tells you that he/she did not know Richard had cheated on Veronica several times, and when he/she had called Richard, it was Richard who pleaded with Rival to try to help him win his wife back.
