Business-minded Karine joins her mother's business empire as the Marketing Director after graduating from university. Hyper-focused and committed to her career, when Karine allows her co-worker to set her up with one of her friends, a Parisian investment banker, she doesn't think much will come of it. As fate would have it, the two end up hitting if off, and he and Karine fall hard for each other. They date for a year before getting engaged, and soon after, Karine finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. They postpone the wedding and nine months later have a son, and get married in an elaborate ceremony a year after that. Just months after the wedding, Annette announces her retirement, and names Karine her successor--at 30, one of the youngest CEOs ever to run a French company, and the youngest woman. Because of this, Karine receives a lot of criticism from the French media, and for the next couple of years works herself sick to uphold the standards that her mother and grandfather had forged that the French people expected--and is a resounding success, much to the chagrin of her critics. Seven years after her son's birth, her first daughter is born. Now she is pregnant with her third and last child, another boy.
