Mauricio is engaged to Constanza, a selfish and extremely mean woman. Mauricio thought that he loved her but he disliked her manners. After a hand injury, "Monita" decides to find a different job, and with the help of her best friends Estrella and Paula, she is hired by Sermeño Group as a secretary. There, she start a friendship with Gabriela, one of the employees of Sermeño Group, who is in love with Salvador, the best friend of Mauricio.
However, "Monita" is fired by Sermeño Group. Mauricio is convinced that "Monita" is honest and warm hearted, so he rehires her and as each day passes, their love grows more and more. Because they both are in a relationship, they decide to hide their love.
Mauricio wants to have a family, so he adopts three orphans named Aldo, Luisa, and Danny, but Mauricio's cousin, Jeronimo, and Constanza disapprove. The children like "Monita" because of her kindness to them and she treats them like if they were her own children and she becomes their best friend. Constanza, however, hates them, but they also hate her.
