LEMUNDO NETWORK
Hello. Yes, this is she.
Alright, see you soon.
I have a job interview!
What my father finds out I'm interviewing to be a secretary,
he'll say,
"Betty, that's not what you went to college for!"
But if I'm offered the job, I'm taking it.
I'll figure out what to tell him later.
Silence!
Mine is the only voice we should be hearing.
Good morning.
I'm looking for Human Resources.
Oh, the horror!
That's a very impressive résumé.
Why do you want to be a secretary?
I feel like there's tremendous opportunity for growth at V&M.
Hi!
I'm Patricia Fernandez, Marcela's friend.
The one who's applying to be the president's secretary.
Will you marry me?
Armando proposed to secure your vote and become president,
that's all.
Armando and I have been together more than two years.
We're in love.
-You sure there's nobody here? -Nobody!
If Marcela sees us, she'll kill us.
Who's there?
Get out right now! No, don't!
You can come out now. What are you doing here?
Open up!
Armando, I know you're in there!
Don't make me call security! Armando!
Armando!
Where's Armando?
This young lady and I are the only ones in here.
Was there a man here?
No.
Where were you?
What's wrong? Why are you upset? What'd I do?
Patricia is going to be your new secretary.
What made you think Patricia Fernandez could be my secretary?
There's another candidate. She's actually overqualified.
That's who I want.
She's ugly.
How ugly can she be?
Mr. Mendoza, the other candidate is here.
Send her in.
Ms. Beatriz Aurora Rincon.
You?
You?
Thank you, Smith.
You know each other?
No, of course not. This is the first time we meet.
This is your résumé?
Pleased to meet you.
You were in the restroom with Naomi, weren't you?
How do you know her?
I don't.
We just ran into each other in the restroom.
Hello. How is everyone?
Hi, Dad.
I haven't left yet and you've already changed the décor.
You're changing many things, huh?
And this young lady is?
My new secretary.
No, we're in the process of selecting his new secretary.
Why don't you stay and help us?
I don't need anyone's help choosing my own secretary, dear.
Why is she in there and I'm not?
The job was mine. You said so.
Why'd you bring her?
Ms. Fernandez, to Ms. Valencia and I,
you are the ideal candidate,
but the president wanted to interview that... young lady.
That loser?
How can someone like her take my job from me?
I mean, look at her!
She has none of my class, elegance or presence.
Right, Ricky?
Apples and oranges. Come on, Smith.
What's so special about her?
No, well, only that she graduated Summa Cum Laude
with two post-graduate degrees,
a degree in Finance, and she speaks five languages but...
-Five? -Five.
All she's missing is an Olympic medal.
No, there's not an athletic bone in her body.
-Patricia. -Yeah?
Please join us.
Patricia, please stand next to this young lady.
Bonjour.
Roberto, these are our two candidates.
Could you wait outside for a moment, please?
That was low, Marcela.
Dad, Beatriz Rincon is more qualified
than that bimbo Patricia.
Beatriz Aurora Rincon Lozano. Very interesting.
It's unbelievable how you could humiliate that poor girl
by making her stand next to your friend.
No, what's unbelievable is you hiring that insignificant woman
for a job that requires elegance and social skills.
We're a fashion house.
Your secretary should represent the company.
Isn't that right, Roberto?
I doubt he'll disregard someone's skill set
in favor of their image, right, Dad?
You're both right.
Patricia is elegant, sociable and distinguished.
And this young lady, Beatriz, has an impressive résumé
and appears to be efficient.
Why not hire them on a one-month trial period?
You can decide who stays after that.
Hello, Mr. Valencia.
Don't be an idiot.
If you were a spy, you'd be dead.
What do you have for me?
Sorry, sir.
This is Mendoza's business plan.
All of its mistakes are underlined in red.
If he goes through with the plan,
we'll have serious financial troubles within six months.
And you know what else? He won't meet his goal.
Good job, Mata.
I'll present this report at our next meeting
before Roberto leaves the country.
My sister has to wake up and see who that man really is.
Don't worry.
Armando is his own worst enemy.
The company was very chaotic this morning.
There was so much noise...
Mata! What happened?
I was in the lobby when I noticed your sister
<i> looking very tense.</i>
<i> She was arguing with Wilson.</i>
There's a model locked in the bathroom.
I need the keys! Give them to me!
It's the master key.
I'm not authorized to give them to you.
It's an order!
I can go with you to open the door.
Let's go!
<i> I don't know</i> <i> what happened afterward.</i>
She was tense, but also upset, angry, annoyed...
Mata!
Like when Armando was found with that model.
Remember her? That dark, long-haired beauty?
Mata, here's what we'll do:
Find out which model was in the restroom and watch Armando.
I'll do some digging of my own.
Marce, thank you for treating me to a massage.
I really needed it. I'm very stressed out.
I don't know how I'm going to put up
with that scarecrow in the office.
I know. Don't even bring her up.
I don't like that woman. She's dangerous.
Look, don't worry. Beatriz won't last long at V&M.
I'll take bug spray to work tomorrow and get rid of her.
But Marce... You know my situation.
Don't start, Patricia.
I already gave you a one-week advance.
And don't you dare tell the other secretaries
how much you earn,
which is much more than them.
-I'm not a secretary. -Whatever.
<i> Hi, Patricia.</i> <i> It's Daniel Valencia.</i>
<i> Let's have dinner.</i> <i>No one needs to know, you know?</i>
I know that smile. Who is it?
Stop it!
Sorry, Marce, I have to go.
-You won't tell me who it is? -No.
I have to get ready.
Yes! What do I wear?
Oh, Marce.
-You going to eat that? -Don't!
Of course I am!
You're so stingy!
Come on, Betty!
It's your first time beating the pretty girl.
That calls for a celebration!
Let's get beers or a bottle!
There's nothing to celebrate. I didn't beat anyone.
We're competing to see who gets the job.
And as always happens,
it'll probably be that Patricia Fernandez.
Quit being so pessimistic.
Send the pessimism away.
If we strip away the glamour, luxury and the models,
V&M is just a company that needs to make money to survive.
What are you good at?
Making money!
Don't me go deaf, Betty!
Make that your mantra. Making money.
-You have to believe it. -I make money.
Yes, Betty.
-Know what else gives me hope? -What?
Mr. Armando, the son of V&M's owner,
defended me in front of his girlfriend.
I'm sure he wants me to stay at the company.
And you will, Betty.
So what's the scoop?
You were in the bathroom and Naomi was with your boss
and you caught them red-handed? Please tell me more!
Super red-handed!
I was in the stall and Naomi and Armando were outside.
Then his fiancée showed up.
I'm sure Naomi will never set foot in V&M again.
Why didn't you call or FaceTime me?
I wanted to see her. You know I love her!
She's my Aphrodite! You're such a bad friend!
Quit acting like a horny old coot, Nicolas!
"She's my Aphrodite!"
Well, she arouses me. Is that so bad?
Nicolas!
Hello, Armando. How are you?
I'm well.
Does this mean you agree to be part of my fashion show?
I'm dying to work with Shannon De Lima.
Maybe.
Hey, hey. Are you leaving just like that?
-Huh? -Already?
You have my answer. Maybe.
I wanted to congratulate you for your new job at V&M.
You're Armando Mendoza's executive secretary.
You really know how to make the most of your connections.
Thank you, Daniel.
I'm thrilled you asked me out to dinner.
Now we can get to know each other better.
Don't congratulate me just yet, though.
Armando hired another secretary.
He did? Why does he need two?
Is he so inept he can't manage with just one?
What can I say?
That's Armando for you. Whatever.
It's obvious he isn't ready to be president.
Plus, he also dates the models that work for V&M.
You're telling me.
Poor Marce!
She's been through so much because of his infidelities.
Today she thought Armando had locked himself in a restroom
with one of the models.
Really? Who?
The same one as last year.
The one that caused a social media scandal.
But that man could be anyone.
Oh, I don't know. Marce swears it's Armando.
Naomi Ferretti is a menace.
Why else would Marce bar her from V&M?
Those two are mortal enemies.
Patricia, you'll answer the phone, welcome guests,
take them to the conference room, handle the catering
and deliver my mail.
Yes, I know how to do all that very well.
Beatriz, you'll be my voice within the company.
You'll speak to the accountants, administrators,
and handle all fiscal affairs.
Yes.
Sorry, Armand, but I think you're forgetting
that I studied finance for three semesters at TUI.
Oh, yes.
First prove you're capable of handling everything
I asked of you.
Or did you want to take over Betty's tasks as well?
Betty, I'll also want reports
on our bank accounts and suppliers.
I'll remind both of you that you're on a probationary period.
Okay, so I'm going to need your passwords.
The ones for your electronic devices, cell phone, laptop
so I can manage your agenda.
That's not your job.
Beatriz, you'll manage my personal agenda.
-But... -No buts.
I don't want to hear your voice unless it's to transfer a call.
Get to work, you two. Your desk is outside, Patricia.
Over there?
Yes, out there.
Beatriz, hang back a moment
so I can show you where you'll be working.
Thank you.
Marce! Marce!
What's the matter? What's wrong?
Your fiancé is so annoying!
He put that hideous monster above me.
He kept her in his office and kicked me out.
Here's a word of advice.
Today's your first day on the job.
Quit complaining and smile.
Quit complaining and smile? Perfect, Marcela!
Let me tell you about my job description.
I'm going to answer the phone, answer emails and serve coffee.
While in the meantime, that mustached uggo
gets to know all of Armando's passwords.
She's going to manage his personal agenda.
She is?
She's going to cover for him.
It's all good, though.
I'll smile and won't complain one bit.
Everything's perfect in this clueless office.
Come in.
This is it.
I know it's not great, but this is the only space available.
I wasn't planning on hiring two secretaries.
Come in.
Thank you.
If you're not comfortable here,
I'll assign you a spot in the production or design area.
No, don't worry. This is fine.
It's best to stay close so we can communicate directly.
I read in your résumé
that you're a very good financial analyst.
Here.
This is the business plan I presented at the meeting.
What do you want me to do with it?
I want a finance expert to analyze it.
Give me your honest opinion.
Sure. Of course. It'd be my pleasure.
I also wanted to thank you for what you did for me.
In the restroom.
I really appreciate your loyalty.
Armando!
Excuse me.
Why can't Patricia manage your agenda?
Because I don't want her to. Beatriz will.
You'd rather let a complete stranger
manage your personal information?
Someone so insignificant and with such poor taste
is going to plan a fashion company's events?
-Stop! -What?
-Lower your voice! -It's the truth.
It's not Beatriz that's bothering you.
You're annoyed I didn't give your friend access
-to my personal life. -Of course not.
-You are. -And what if I were?
-Do you have anything to hide? -No.
You promised you'd change when you proposed
and that I'd never have to worry about you cheating.
And last night you said you'd make an effort
to trust me more.
What happened to that?
Beatriz will manage my agenda whether you like it or not.
I just hope she's not one of your co-conspirators.
If I find out Beatriz is covering for you,
I'll fire her on the spot.
Okay.
Hello.
Do any of you know where I can heat up my food?
In the break room.
But since today's your first day,
the Squad would like to invite you to have lunch with us.
Thanks, but my mom packed my lunch.
I said invite because we all bring our lunch
and eat it together.
It's tastier that way.
We want to spend time with you and welcome you to V&M.
And we also want to know why there are two secretaries.
That's never happened before.
Hold on.
We don't even know if she wants to be our friend.
I do.
Yeah!
I'm Betty. Hello.
Nice to meet you. I'm Bertha.
I'm Sofia.
Hi, Betty. I'm Aura Maria.
Sandra.
And I'm Mariana. Nice to meet you.
It's very nice to meet all of you.
Hello. We're going to lunch.
You're welcome to join us so we can get to know each other.
You're so funny.
Why would I want to get to know you?
She's so funny.
Why are you laughing?
What do you mean, Marce?
These girls are so out of touch.
I told you that if you made me a secretary,
they'd think I was one of them.
-Shall we go have lunch? -Yes, please!
Hey... so why do you call yourselves the Squad?
Oh, I can tell you why.
Mr. Hugo Lombardi gave us the name of the Ugly Battalion.
We renamed ourselves the Unconventional Beauties Squad.
Beauty is relative, isn't it?
As you can see we're all smart, pretty, and hot.
People say the perfect woman should be 36-24-36,
but even if some of us are 36-24-infinity...
Not all of us!
But we're still amazing!
Women rule!
Betty, we have a question.
Since our dear and charming friend Patricia
is going to be working at Carmencita's desk,
where will you be working?
In the office right next to the president's office.
Oh!
What? No!
No, no!
You're working in that dump? No way!
You're definitely one of us. Welcome to V&M and the Squad.
Welcome! Betty, I have a question.
Did your boss tell you when he plans to get married?
That hunk is a true alpha male.
Did you hear about the scandal of the blacklisted model?
-Yes. -Yeah?
No, no.
-You didn't? -No.
-Did you or did you not? -No.
-Want me to fill you in? -Yeah.
I'm up to speed on everything.
It seems Marcela hates a model by the name of Naomi Ferretti.
Her name cannot be spoken.
But an error was made during the hiring process.
Naomi?
Come closer. I've been expecting you.
I asked you to meet me here.
My agent said I was...
Going on a job? I'm paying you for your time.
This is what you'd earn in a day during Fashion Week.
It's a pleasure to meet you. Daniel Valencia.
-Valencia? -Uh-huh.
-As in Valencia from V&M? -Yes, that's right.
I can't believe Marcela would stoop so low.
Hey, hey. Calm down.
Marcela didn't send me.
I sought you out
because I don't want her to marry Armando Mendoza.
And if I'm not mistaken, you don't either.
Armando is lying to my sister
and I need you to tell me the nature of your relationship.
That's all.
I'm a model, not an informant, Mr. Valencia.
Alright. Here's what we'll do.
I'm going to give my card.
If you change your mind, just call me.
Naomi, you and I can stop Armando Mendoza.
Think about it.
You have the passwords to all of my devices.
Please be very discreet. No one can know those.
Not even Marcela.
Don't worry.
I'm keeping them in my password manager app.
They'll have to pry that information
from my cold dead hands.
I'm not kidding. This is serious.
Sorry, sir.
Everyone here is doing everything they can
to make sure the show is perfect.
This is why it's so important that you manage my information.
I'm getting married and I'm changing my ways.
I really want to be a better man.
<i> Baby, I'm at Le Blanc.</i>
<i> If you don't show up</i> <i> in half an hour,</i>
<i> I'll go looking for you</i> <i> at the office.</i>
I have to go.
Go to the office and tell everyone
I'm meeting with O'Brian from Sportification.
Understood. I'm at your service.
-No! -It's a secret.
Sorry, sorry. I have what you requested.
We wasted a lot of time because of you, child.
The world moved on and we did too.
Where's Armando? He's not answering my calls.
Mr. Armando had a bit of a problem
with his agenda.
It's just that...
It's just that If I were managing his schedule,
everything would be running like clockwork.
When I was at TUI University,
I was a whiz at advanced organizational patterns.
NASA uses that tech too.
-That's not it. -Back talking too?
Tell me, has a spacecraft ever been late
when landing on the moon?
Kid, we just want to know why Mr. Armando Mendoza
isn't here meeting with us?
I'm trying to tell you, but you're not letting me.
-What? -Sorry, sorry.
Mr. Armando received an urgent call from Mr. O'Brien,
from Sportification, and they're meeting about work.
Beatriz, what are you hiding from us?
Nothing.
Nothing?
-No. -No?
Mr. O'Brien is on vacation.
Oops!
Busted!
Liar, liar!
Beatriz, tell me where Armando is.
It's over, Naomi. And this time I mean it.
No, Armando. It'll never be over between us.
Come closer.
That's what I like about us.
We make no promises
and we've lasted longer than most couples.
Listen, you're out of your mind.
I'm going to marry Marcela and she's the only woman for me.
Oh, please! You're a terrible liar.
If it were someone else, I'd believe you.
Marcela?
All of Manhattan knows
she's just a business decision for you.
You're free to think whatever you want,
but please don't seek me out again.
And if I refuse?
I'll have to treat you like what you are.
A lunatic.
A lunatic?
You wouldn't.
It'd be a scandal.
This isn't over. Get back here.
-Armando. -Margot!
How are you?
I'm well. Thank you.
I heard you're getting married.
-I am. -Congratulations.
-Thank you. -Is Marcela with you?
She should be here soon.
I'm in a rush so I won't get to congratulate her in person,
but please say hi to her for me.
-Sure. -It was nice seeing you.
Likewise. Bye.
Don't seek me out again.
If you do, I'll call the police
and file a restraining order against you.
End of story.
Excuse me.
Yes, Beatriz?
Something very serious happened, sir.
Ms. Marcela says Mr. O'Brien is traveling
and she demands to speak with you.
I'll call the office in five minutes.
I need to come up with an excuse.
Okay, but please hurry. She's furious!
Beatriz, did you get a hold of Armando?
I'm on it!
Daniel Valencia?
