SYNOPSIS

"When love gets in the way, the seducer may end up seduced” This story begins when the Anaya family, owner of the once prosperous “The Prosperous Chicken” company, receives terrible news: they are about to go broke. Trying to solve their problems, Ricardo Martín Anaya, known by all as “Ricky Martin”, decides to outsource a female general manager to restore order to their chaos. This is how we are introduced to Emilia Cabal, our heroine, a beautiful and successful woman who suffered a personal tragedy that plunged her into profound depression and who arrives to the company trying to recover her life and self-esteem. Five years before, Emilia had it all. After having studied abroad, she married Javier Camargo and, together, they established a consulting firm that made them stand out in the entrepreneurial world. Despite his success, Javier felt very jealous of his wife, which led him to suggest to her that it was time they had a child, with the only purpose of getting her out of the entrepreneurial realm. Emilia became pregnant, but this condition did not manage to keep her away from the office. One day, while driving her car, Emilia suffered an accident which ruined her life. She ran into a man who was descending down the road at full speed on a make-shift vehicle with ball-bearing wheels. When Emilia came to, she had lost her son, her husband and her company. It is not until now, five years later, that she feels capable of trying to take charge of her life and once again being the woman she once was. Her arrival at “The Prosperous Chicken” caused a great impact. “Mechas,” the eldest Anaya sister and “Production Manager” at the company, is concerned about losing her eternal hours of free time. Milena “La Nena” Anaya, the “Sales Manager,” is concerned that Emilia will discover that the company has not exported a single chicken in its history. Juan Calixto (Juan-K-Naya), the “Marketing Manager,” and half-brother of the Anayas, is also scared … what will happen if it is discovered that he does not have the degrees that he has made up? Linda Kriss, his voluptuous wife, does not conceal her anxiety either: will Emilia take away her title of “Miss Abundant?” Another member of this family who does not have peace of mind either is Tatiana Alvarado, Ricardo’s perverse and selfish wife and the company’s “Finance Manager”. When she met “Ricky,” she believed that she had purchased a life insurance policy worth millions for her and the baby she was expecting; that is why she abandoned Arturo Guevara, the love of her life and main character in this story. What she did not reckon was that on the day of her wedding, she would have to sign documents whereby she had to give up any claims on the Anaya’s infinite fortune. Since then, Tatiana has been obsessed with scheming a strategy to take over the company. When she meets with the Anaya family, Emilia is clear with her work plan: if she manages to triple the revenue in six months, she will receive 50 % of the shares in the company. Emilia’s audacity is sharper than ever and her plan is officially accepted. Tatiana, concerned about the future of “her company,” allies with Juan K-Naya to eliminate Emilia with an infallible plan: to get a man to work for them who will distract her from her obligations and her goals; a man to woo her, marry her, and once married, take away the company shares she may have earned and then deliver these to them … in other words, a “Husband for Hire!” Taking advantage of the jealousy that Emilia provokes among the other Anaya women, Tatiana makes them accomplices in her plan and, with the best acting performance, they carry out a casting session to select the right person. The prize: 50 million and an extreme transformation: new clothing, etiquette and culture lessons --- a new life. When they don’t find anyone in a par with Emilia, and Tatiana decides to play her last card: Arturo Guevara, the man that Emilia had abandoned while pregnant, to marry “Ricky.” What nobody knows is that Arturo is also the man who caused the accident that changed Emilia’s life. Arturo refuses to accept this proposal and Tatiana, knowing that she has no other option, decides to play him in the worst way; she shows him a picture of a girl and reveals to him that she is his daughter. She manipulates him, assuring him that if he does not become a “Husband for Hire,” he will never meet his daughter. Arturo feeling cornered decides to accept. The expected day arrives and, after several hour of uncertainty, Arturo meets Emilia face to face. Emilia innocently notices him. This encounter will provoke the beginning of an insane adventure for all in the family: for Emilia, for Arturo and for all our fledgling conspirators. Will Emilia surrender to her “Husband for Hire?” Will Arturo be able to go ahead with the plan once he falls in love with Emilia and finds out that she is the woman whose life he ruined? Will one of the Anaya’s break the silence and tell Emilia that Arturo is a “Husband for Hire?” Will Tatiana be able to control her love for Arturo that she once again starts to feel? Will Emilia be able to forgive Arturo when she learns that he was the same man who caused her accident in the past? In the midst of a world full of contradictions and so many complications … and betting on a second chance of love, will Emilia be able to forgive Arturo?

Carolina Gómez is Emilia

If Arturo is addicted to adventure and risk, Emilia is not far behind in her addiction; the difference is that our character’s vice is work. Emilia is a prominent executive with a reputation in the business world for having taken the reins of a couple of companies that were on the brink of bankruptcy, turning them into prosperous and productive businesses. If one were to ask her what her greatest passion is, she would respond, without hesitating, to work, to work and to work. It is completely normal to see her perform balancing acts, holding conversations on two mobile phones at the same time, reviewing proposals on her laptop computer until she gets into the shower, drinking coffee, cup after cup while she goes from one board meeting to a committee meeting to a working lunch, without stopping, without getting tired, without sweating, never looking anything but beautiful, in essence, the most professional of them all.
