Plot

In the heart of the literary world, we meet aspiring writer Stephanie 'Steve' Gaylord, a starry-eyed young woman whose world is turned upside down when she becomes the newest secretary to the wildly popular novelist, Owen Waterbury. The glimmers of hope and excitement in her eyes quickly dim as she finds herself working within the chaotic confines of his apartment, a revolving door of eccentric characters and non-stop slapstick, thanks to his clumsy roommate Ronnie. Waterbury, known more for his playboy antics than his literary prowess, presents a work environment that resembles a boisterous playground rather than a tranquil writer's retreat, his eyes seemingly more focused on blondes than books. Disheartened, Steve decides to leave, triggering a surprising reaction from Waterbury. In a desperate attempt to win back his secretary, Waterbury goes against his playboy nature and marries Steve. But can this notorious leopard truly change his spots? As they navigate the rollercoaster of their unusual marriage, the pair find themselves entangled in a web of competitive tensions and challenging responsibilities. In a world where opposites attract, can Steve turn the tables and tame the wild spirit of her husband? Or will Waterbury's erratic and immature tendencies prove too much for the budding writer? "My Dear Secretary" is a charming exploration of love, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of dreams, set against the vibrant backdrop of the literary world.
