Dr, Beatriz P is here

Okay now, good morning

Good morning, take a seat

Thank you

Have a seat please

You´re name? Patricia Fernández

And yours? Beatriz Pinzón Solano

,Good. As you know
we´re looking for a secretary

for the presidency of this company

I want to know why you think
you´re right for the job

.Let´s see
Patricia let´s begin with you

?What experience do you have
?and why are you here

Well, actually I don´t have
experience as a secretary

I´ve never worked, but I did six
semesters of finance on the San Marino

and well, I´m here because
Marcela Valencia told me

that Armando was looking for a secretary

?Oh I understand. And you

Well, I don´t have experience
as a secretary either

but, allow me to explain

I studied Economy at the
University of Economy and Finance

And as you can see on my resume
I graduated with honors

and had the highest GPA

You can find the Principal a
nd the Dean as personal references

Then I did a course on accounting
and after, a postgraduate on Finance

I was also an assitant on the
international area of the Montreal Bank

being the VP of that area
Dr Manuel José Becerre

Who is also as a reference

I manage databases, analyse
finances

international commerce, feasibility
analisys, costs and budgets

I am also familiar with the stock market

All the information is there

Yes, yes, I see

I am missing your pic

Why didn´t you attach it to your resume

Well, since I´ve had so many
interviews I ran out of them

But I can bring one tomorrow if you want

No, don´t worry about it

Tell me something if you
have this resume

?How is it that you´re applying
to be a secretary

A you know, it´s
competitive and I don´t have experience

I would like to begin my career

as a secretary on a company like this one

Show my abilities and rise in the company

and I don´t have a problem
with the work as a secretary

I can make calls, manage
a schedule, write letters

It´s very easy for me

?Of couse What about languages

Well I can kind of speak english

I speak English, French and some Italian

And are you divorced, married,
?widows, single

Well I´m divorced

I was married to Mauricio Brickman

,Brickman, of course! I know him
President of Coltex Corp

The same one

I met him when I studied
Finance on the San Marino

We fell in love and got married

Because of him I left the University

And well, we got divorced a year ago

I lived on Spain for a while
and just returned a month ago

So I´m free at the moment

?And you

I´m single, single

Of course

Well we have your CVs

Thank you for coming we´ll be calling you

Wait! Patricia, stay for a moment

Thank you for coming. We´ll be calling you

Don´t worry, thank you

!Girls, girls! Don´t be so noisy

Oh, sorry! Girl, for God´s sake

!Good Morning everybody! Good Morning

No mija, help me hide it

They can´t see this mess

Who are they? Don Roberto
Mendoza, President of the company

And his son, Don Armando who´s
going to be the new President

And your boss if you´re chosen

?Why is there so much people

Hugo, he´s rehearsing with
the models for the show

And Gutierrez, that´s interviewing the cantidates

to secretary of Presidency, dad

?and why aren´t you doing that personally

One should chose his own
?secretary, or not

Dad, should I do interviews, or
?review the deal with you

Let Gutiérrez take care of that.
He knows what I´m looking for

Yes, I also know what you´re looking for

Hello

?Don Roberto, how are you

?What´s the meaning of this Berta

Doctor, I...I

This has no excuse

Don´t you see all the
?people that are visiting today

How are we going to look like a
?fashion company if we´re full of garbage

...Yes Doctor, what happens is that

,Nothing! Call Cleaning
you have 10 min

To make this hall shine

?Did I made myself clear, Bertha

Yes, Doctor

!Go, clean! Go man

I am so sorry

No, don't worry

We're going to call you to
sign the contract

Berthica! Yes, Doctor

Get rid of these people
No more interviews

Girls, no more interviews for today

If anything changes we'll call you

?Why did she stay here

Maybe she still hoped to be hired

Gutiérrez, Did you made
?the right choice hiring the pretty one

The ugly one is much more prepared

Yes brother, but she´s useless for him

Armando asked me to hire his secretary
and I know what he´s looking for

If I present him that thing he fires me

I can sacrifice myself by having
an ugly secretary like Bertha

But a President? Noo and
much less Don Armando

He gets a rash when he sees an ugly woman

?Hello Betty, mija. How was it

I think okay mom, but we have to wait

Your father has been calling all day long

Asking for you

You have to be patient mom

Mamita I already put another
candle to San Pancracio

?And who is that

My love! The Saint
that looks for work

The company that you applied
?to is called like EcoModa

?Yes, why

Because I read an article Mija

That could be useful if you go there

Wait, I´ll bring it

Ma´am, look at me, ma´am

!Nicolás, Nicolás

Come on! She´s divine Betty don´t you see

?How was it today

?Where were you Betty

On a Fashion company

?And

Same as always

A pretty took my spot

?What happenned with my office

Nothing Dad I brought my
desk and things over here

Not that I didn´t like
the design or decoration of your office

What happens is that it´s
not for someone my age

...Dad, your books, your pipes
We put them on boxes

We´re waiting for you to tell
us what to do with them

I... I should have asked you before

But since you said to take the Presidency
Not to wait until the Board´s meeting

That´s what I tried to do

No, no, it´s perfect
...What happens it that

Its just not easy to see dissapear
a space you´ve spent your last

Your last thirty five years

Dad I know, but stop looking at
your office like that

You´re going to have depression
and it´s going to be worse

Good Afternoon, tomorrow your
office will be finished Don Armando

Good, thank you Gutiérrez

Tell me, how is the search for my
?secretary going. Do we have something

Yes Don Armando, I wanted
to talk to you about that

I found your secretary

?Really? Who is it

This one

?Gutiérrez, Gutiérrez, are you crazy

Sorry Doctor, I thought it
was the best option

Mrs Fernández has six
semesters of Finance

,And if you allow me
she is very atractive

Additionally, she´s recommended
by Doña Marcela

?Whats´ happening? Who is it

Patricia, Marcela´s friend, dad

?Didn´t you bring me more options

?Was she the only one you preselected

I have other CVs, but I can assure
you no one is as attractive as her

?Gutiérrez how do I make you understand? How

!Did I ask for a model? No

!Did I ask you to get me Sharon Stone? No

I simply asked you to get me a secretary

,A person with two languages
able to manage systems

That at least knows where the hell she´s standing

I didnt ask for a pretty woman, I
asked for someone efficient

Neither did I ask for a friend of
Marcela, that wil be spying on me 24 hours

Gutiérrez don´t make me lose my time
? Do you have something else

I can show you the other
ones I interviewed Doctor

Go, run! And show
!me the CVs, But now

Come on, Betty tell me

?You applied to what company

To EcoModa

Ecomoda

Mendoza, Valencia and partners

That company has 50 million on assets

And has annual sales of
sixty thousand Pesos

One of the most profitable
and reliable of the country

Look my love, the magazine Jet Set

Where the artice on EcoModa got published

What´s up Nico? Doña Julia

These are the owners of
the company, mija

Today I saw this man with his
son, there, at the company

I read on a economic review that
there´s going to be a replacement there

On the Presidency, the old man is retiring

And leaves the Presidency
in his son´s hands

? And, why is that

Why would I know? I read it on
a serious magazine

Not on a Gossip´s magazine like that one

But maybe it´s there
Maybe you can figure it out

I´m going to serve your dad´s food
Im also bringing something for you Niquito

Thank you Doña Julia

Betty, are you sure you got rejected

Because it´s a great company

You would fit. See

Yes, it is not an option Nicolás

They almost signed the other
one right in front of me as a secretary

And I heard that they needed
a pretty woman for that position

?What? You applied as a secretary

Shh Yes Nicolás, let´s go to
my room and I´ll explain

Dad, I´m also planning on
expanding the cutting area

I´m bringing twelve machines more

Son, I´m only going to ask you
not to sacrifice people´s work space

Just to bring more machines

No, machines, no

Dad I´m not going to do that
Everything is going to stay as it is

I´m just going to expand the back a bit

That´s it

Doctor, here. I brought you the
CVs of the prospects

?Where can we sit to go over them

Look Gutiérrez, to make this
process less wastefull

,Tell me. According to you
?who is the most prepared

Well, Doctor, the most prepared
has no experience as a secretary

But her only experience is as
an assitant on the international
area of the Bank of Monreal

?The Bank of Monreal

Yes, she even has the VP of the
international area as a personal reference

Ahh Manuel José Becerra

Yes, yes, Doctor. she also has
the Dean and the Principal

Of the University of Economy and Finance

Apparently she graduated with honors
and with the highest GPA

?Who is she

...Well, she's called Beatriz
Beatriz... Beatriz Pinzón Solano

She´s an economist, with a thesis on
finance, manages systems perfectly

...Speaks English, French
knows financial analysis

International commerce, some
..stock market. Well

She has a very rich Curriculum in studies

...What I find very strange is that

Why is a woman with her preparation
?aspiring to the position of secretary

Because I got tired Nicolás! I got tired of
looking a position as an executive

No one is going to hire me as
an assistant and much less as an executive

My studies, my intership on the
Bank Monreal are worthless

My references... Ive been to over
!ten companies and nothing

My last choice was to look for
a position as a secretary

What´s in it for you to work as
?a secretary of a company

She told me that as the market
was so saturated

She prefered to begin as a
secretary, show her abilities

Rise in the company... and that
secretary work wouldn´t be hard

The only thing left to is to confirm
that everything on her CV is true

Well, that is easy to confirm
with Manuel José

...But I have a interrogative
A question Gutiérrez

Tell me, if you interviewed someone with
that good of a curriculum

...Someone so prepared

Why did you end up choosing
? Patricia Fernández

What? Did she show you her
?legs and you went dumb

Or not, I know... Marcela
?ordered it, right

...No, no Doctor that isn´t it
What happens is that she has a little problem

?"What "little problem

She´s ugly

? Ugly? How ugly

Show me the picture in the CV

There it is, but she
didn´t put a picture

?Why

Because my CV is very good, what
ruins it is the picture

Yes, It´s true Nicolas. Remember that
they warned us in College

If youre ugly dont include a
picture because they´ll discard you

We ignored them and see

Everyone is impressed when they see my
CV, but then they see the pic and reject me

It´s a casting problem

?Casting

Yes, in other words... Everyone
rejects me because im ugly

No, no, it isn´t that Betty. Look

What happens is that neither of us
can aspire to an executive position

Don´t you see that we don´t
have any professional experience

That´s why no one welcomes you

Claudia Guzmán finished College and
immediatetly began working

As regional manager of Atinza

Roberto Gómez is on the Central Bank

Alejandra Ruís is a credits analyst
at Sanchez Figueroa

Practically all our classmates got good
executive jobs except for the two of us

No one wants to welcome us and that´s
because we´re ugly

No, no

There is a possibility we
haven´t tried yet

We haven´t asked for job on a circus

Imagine. Come and see the hideous
humans in the Economists´cage

They can also hire us to scare the
lions when they get rebellious

Yes Nicolás, no one wants us
because we´re ugly

Thats what caused my departure
of the Bank Monreal

Thank you Manuel José.

See you.. That... yes. Wednesday at the Club
Perfect, good bye

?What did he say dad

That everything is true

It is true that she worked on the Bank, it
is true that she has all those studies

And that it is true, as Gutiérrez
says, that she is very ugly

But she recommended her a lot

He told me that she is an incredible woman

That she can reeplace anyone at the
Bank in any position

And that if we hire her we would be
getting an exceptional professional

Gutiérrez, to have an idea, tell me
?Is she uglier than you

A bit more Don Armando

How to explain. The face is ugly

But what truly ruins her is the body

But the worst part is that she dresses badly

She doesn´t have a good appearance

And much less to be secretary
for Presidency

That´s why I disqualified her

Well you´ll see. Didnt you want a
?prepared woman instead of a pretty woman

You decide

Let´s see. Gutiérrez call her for tomorrow

Let´s see once and for all how ugly she is

Way to ugly for a world like this

I would never fit on a fashion company

It´s beautiful people, with class

EcoModa, one of the most important
companies of design and confection

Released a new colllection in their
ostentatious show room

Keep reading Betty, lets see if they know
why the man in retiring

The event´s hosts. Roberto Mendoza, President
of EcoModaand and his wife, Margarita Saénz

Announced that next month they are
moving permanently to their house in London

As always, very close and smiling

They look like a happy couple

?Roberto what´s happening
You´ve been worried since last night

Actually, you´ve been worried since
you decided to leave the company

Love, could it be that you aren´t
?sure about retiring

Of course I am sure, I´m truly tired

And it´s time to let the company
to the younger ones

But if this is going to cause trouble
with the Valencia I won´t be able to sleep

Look at Armando and Daniel, they´ve
been talking for over half an hour

And honestly, I don´t like the
tone they are using

Enjoy the company´s last party Armando

I´ll probably be the last one

The next one will be its funeral, because
you Armando

Are going to make sure to bury one of the

most important fashion companies
of the country

And its thirty five years of work

You too Daniel, enjoy the party

Because the next one will be to celebrate
the profits it´s going to make under my lead

The number are going to be so high
that neither your bile nor your ego

Are going to be able to stand it. So, the
service we´re going to attend will be yours

But don´t worry, I´m going to send
a beautiful bouquet of gardenias

To go with your coffin

I hope you´re not discussing once
again about the presidency

Dad, Daniel hasn´t been able
to recover from the news

He won´t be able to get over not
getting the Presicency of EcoModa

Daniel I thought it was clear enough

If after the first year Armando
hasn´t reached the goals he promissed

You will assume the Presidency. I don´t
see what else to discuss

I hope there is something left to manage

I want to manage a patrimony, not ashes

Armando is going to put EcoModa in a cremation oven

You know, maybe I´ll put EcoModa´s ashes
in the same urn with my parents´ ashes

Enough! I don´t want to touch this subject
until the next meeting

When Armando takes the Presidency

In the meantime not a single word

!Specially not here, please

Excuse me sirs, a picture for the
magazine Jet Set

Smile Armando, it might be
the last time you do it

When the magazine comes out, look for the picture and cut it

Because it might be the last time you smile

Well that we have to see

Next year when we launch next season
my smile will be much bigger than now

And you´re going to be older, a bit more wrinkled

You know what, you should also
save that magazine

It´s going to be the evidence of how
a man could age of envy in only a year

!Daniel, smile

In the picture, Roberto Mendoza with
his son, Armando Mendoza

Who will take assume the Presidency of
EcoModa, starting next week

Next is Daniel Valencia, stockholder
of the company

And who was also a cantidate
for succeeding Roberto

The Mendoza and Valencia, two
inseparable families

I thought he and his son were
the only owners of the company

From what I understand the
Valencia own a half of the company

And Daniel Valencia doesn't work for the company

He's a high executive of the government

Yes, I know, he's the manager
of Financial Resources

They look like very close families

And not only because of
the company, look

Armando Mendoza and his
beautiful fiance, Marcela Valencia

Are together only by the company, but
have been in love for two year now

Wedding bellls are ringing

They're getting married

Your gilfriends are going to kill you
when they see you hugging me

?But, my love, why
?What girlfriends

You're talking with your future
and monogamous husband

That was a very nice the picture

You know, you have a mazanine romance

The only times I've seen him affectionate
with you is when a photographer is near

Ha Ha Ha Ha Good one

We don't like PDA, and don't judge, you
haven't seen us when we're alone
