Plot Benito is a rich, playboy businessman afraid of commitment. Joanna is a "kontesera", a girl who eternally auditions in all types of contests (including joining the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire), only to end up failing each time. Their paths cross when Joanna applies for a job at Benito's company despite not being qualified. At first Benito rejects Joanna for the position of secretary but later on when he sees the stocks and sales graphics of his company declining when Joanna leaves, he asks Joanna to come back and get hired after seeing the graphics stay up. He slowly realizes Joanna is his lucky charm in life because it was only her who saves an investor from pulling out of his company, keeps on winning in high-stakes gambling with his friends, and straightened the problems confronting his houseboy Jimboy and stepsister Nanette.
But as the saying goes "luck runs out", Benito loses everything when Joanna leaves him to take care of a family emergency. The only people that stuck with him was Jimboy (who is now openly gay) and his family who never left his side. He was also convinced by his mother to start his business again after she revealed she never spent the monthly allotments sent to her through any of his emissaries, including Joanna. It was then Benito realized Joanna was more than just his lucky charm in life.
When Joanna joined Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for the second time as a contestant, she was able to answer all the questions correctly, winning the jackpot prize. But she was more than happy when Benito showed up in the studio to profess his love for her.
