Plot

Ángel Gutiérrez is a kind, friendly, and very shy office employee who works hard for his family. His wife Rosa, who treats him very badly and humiliates him all the time, despises him for being "so pathetic". The children Julio Cesar and Lucrecia do not respect their father either after seeing their mother constantly mistreating him and calling him "a pathetic, good for nothing".

At the office everyone teases Angel including his boss Mr. Martinez who nicknames him "Gutierritos" which catches on among employees. Angel's only moral support at work is his friend Jorge. Mr. Martinez hires Elena an insecure but very beautiful young woman.

Angel secretly falls in love with Elena but it is in a book that Angel is writing that he expresses his feelings for her. However, Angel shows the originals to his friend Jorge whom later on steals them, claims the authorship, and takes them to a publisher. Awed by "Jorge's talent" after reading the published book Elena falls in love with him. Angel tries to tell the truth but no one believes him while he suffers the loss of his friend, his book, and the woman he loves. Ironically, Jorge enjoys the fame, the success, and Elena's love.
