THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-No, it’s not that, Amber,” Christopher replied, shaking his head from side to side.

“I never gave the order to have you beaten,” he assured her, “Nor did I hire or pay them to testify against you, and much less did I give the order to kill them,” he said, looking at her straight ahead and keeping his strong gaze.

-In any case, we will see what comes out of the investigations. At least, justice was done and your little friend was dismissed, now we will know the truth of what really happened,” she declared, without any shame or remorse.

-I hope that the truth will really come out so that you can be convinced once and for all that I was also a puppet, manipulated by Michelle,” he confessed, sadly and hurt with her.

“Why did you bring Dylan? The invitation was clear, only for you,” he claimed, approaching her carefully.

-Because he’s my fiance,” showing her ring, which he hadn’t seen.

-That’s a lie,” he declared, hurt and jealous. Looking at her carefully, he said, “What you don’t have is the face of a woman in love. I know that emotion on your face.

-Maybe you’re right, it’s no longer worth it to fall in love in order to get married. You only do it to look for security and comfort, no matter what else,” she added.

-So now you’re a selfish, selfish and petty person? Because you are not at all interested in what others feel,” he asked, looking at her with contempt and withdrawing from her.

-Someone taught me! That I shouldn’t care at all about the feelings or opinions of others. Here, what is really important and worthwhile is to have the power to do what pleases me and pleases me,” she said, looking at him out of the corner of her eye, with disdain.

-You were taught very badly,” he affirmed, not taking her comment for granted, “Now you excuse me, I just wanted to give you that proof, which should be of some use to you, with your permission! -he said.

Christopher came out of the bathroom leaving her speechless and astonished with his last comments. She let some tears of frustration and pain flow as she remembered how he cared for her “little friend”. Touching up her makeup briefly, to erase all traces of crying, she then left.

Arriving back in the main room of the offices, she looked for Dylan, who was chatting and flirting with the Attorney’s daughters. She, ignoring what he was doing and without the slightest feeling of jealousy, approached him to inform him that she wished to leave.

He, like a gentleman, said goodbye to the three of them, very cordially and affectionately, interlacing his fingers with hers, passing in front of Christopher, who was at the exit door, saying goodbye to some of his guests.

-Thank you for the evening! -Christopher, I sincerely wish you to recover financially and economically, after the hard blow that my fiancee gave you,” he said goodbye with a wide smile.

Meanwhile, Christopher remained with his eyes on his hands and fingers intertwined, ignoring him completely, making a brief bow with his head before Amber’s gaze, who was still very serious.

He, bidding farewell to all his guests and the staff who did such a commendable job, attending to the guests and promoting the traveling tours, both inside and outside Santiago de Leon, congratulated them one by one and felt extremely satisfied with the resounding success of this branch.

Elian, even more proud, because he knew he had hired the right people for the job, regretted not having brought Genesis to accompany him on this beautiful day. So, as soon as he was free, he called her to inform her about the success obtained in Islander.

-I’m so glad, Elian! Everything you touch turns to gold,” she commented, smiling happily for him.

-Thank you, my partner! And I’m glad to have brought you this joy, although distant, since I don’t know yet when I’ll be back. I miss you very much, your coffee, your talk and your bad jokes,” he smiled, feeling a lot of things for her, which he still doesn’t know for sure what it is.

-Oh, I mean, you don’t like my jokes! Wait till you come back! And that you ask me to cheer up your evenings or your mornings,” she commented, feeling, as he did, little bells and music in her heart.

-When we return, we will talk very seriously,” he answered.

-About?” she asked, somewhat doubtfully, hearing him so serious.

-About what I am feeling,” he added, in a very hoarse voice.

-And what are you feeling? -she asked, wanting to know more.

-You know,” he spoke more quietly, to avoid being heard by those who were still saying goodbye.

-No, I don’t know and I don’t want to guess, I want to hear it, I want that whatever you are going to tell me, you do it facing me and looking me in the eyes,” she clarified.

-Ok! I also agree with you, I want to see your face when I get an answer. Now I’ll say goodbye, because I’m going to accompany Christopher to a disco,” he answered with a smile.

-Have a very happy night! -she wished.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

-That is only possible with you,” he answered, very softly and hung up the call.

Immediately, she joined the group that would accompany Christopher to the discotheque, moving with him, in the same armored van and who was chatting with someone. It seemed that he had found a new entertainment.

Elian was amazed and dumbfounded, because despite having seen Amber with Dylan, his boss was relaxed and smiling with someone on WhatsApp.

Arriving at the hotel, Christopher got out looking around for someone. When they arrived at the door of it, he saw how they came walking towards him, Rocio, Angie and Luz. Elian, smiled very discreetly, because surely one of them, was the cause of the smile of his boss, in the van.

They greeted each other, as if they had not seen each other for a while and entered the disco, each one took Christopher by one arm, while Luz, the youngest, did it with Elian, whom they all respected for being his assistant and “his right hand man”.

The five entered the restaurant first, where their parents and godparents were, to toast and dine for their resounding success. They were really proud of him, so they even ordered a celebration cake.

From there, they went to the disco where they let the young people have fun, while they booked a more discreet and intimate room and the four of them sat and talked. Liam, Christopher’s best man, intrigued by Amber’s presence at the event, asked his compadre….

-Ozzi! The beautiful, very striking young lady who was at the event with Lugo, I believe, is she the same girl Christopher was going to marry about three years ago?

-Yes, the same one! And as for the young man who was with her, yes, he is Dylan Lugo, apparently her boyfriend and CEO of Constructora Lugo,” clarified Christopher’s father, leaving his compadre, with his mouth open, because he was amazed at the beauty of this…
