[edit] Plot

Nina Brlek, a kind, intelligent, but naive and not necessarily beautiful young woman, grows up in the main capital of Croatia, Zagreb, with her parents Vlado and Mira and her brother Davor. Although with a excellent grades and perfect curriculum, she didn't manage to find a good job, because of her looks. She tries to get a job at H-Moda, a fashion company. H-Moda is a company directed by Victor Glowatzky, who plans to retire, and pass his business to his son, David. This news is bad for David's nemesis Petar Vidic, who is the main editor of H-Moda's magazine "Helena" along his lover Monika. He is also Barbara Vidic's brother, David's fiance.

Barbara decides to hire her friend, recently divorced, Patricija Vuckovic, who is pretty, but not so intelligent and capable for the job of David's secretary. Barbara wants that Patricija keeps an eye on David, because David is the most famous bachelor and womanizer. The real problem comes when Nina steps into Patricija's place and gains the job of David's confidant secretary.
