Betty Suarez is plain-looking college graduate with no fashion sense. After being rejected from the job in which she had applied at a high fashion magazine, Betty is offered a position as executive assistant to CEO Bradford Meade's son, Daniel, who has just been appointed editor of the magazine. The only reason Meade gave her the job as his son's secretary was because he believed that she was someone his son would never sleep with. After finding herself caught up in both their professional and personal lives, Betty soon gains the respect of her boss and coworkers through her sweet personality and determination.
