Chapter 200: I’m here in S to bring my wife home
Arriving at the entrance to the Prosperity Company, Estrella Berrocal thought it was a bit of a joke that Adán Rouco would come in person to help her ask for her salary for the last half month. “Are we really going to ask for our salary?”.
The man got out of the car with such determination that Estrella Berrocal followed Adán Rouco.
Santino Yepes walked behind and said, “The owner of the Prosperity Enterprise is Huberto Carnero, who developed in La Ciudad Santa a few years before, the boss must remember this man if he remembers”.
Adán Rouco remembered this man, he had met him a long time ago in La Ciudad Santa, he was a shrewd old man, but too shy, so he was not going to be able to do much business, not only do you need brains, contacts and guts to do business, but you also need guts.
As soon as she entered the Prosperity Company, she saw Demario Alejandro, who was enraged at the sight of Estrella Berrocal and looked at her through gritted teeth, “Estrella Berrocal! Berrocal! How dare you come to the office.”
Estrella Berrocal didn’t feel nervous at all, probably because she had someone on her side, so she had the courage to say, “Clodoveo Bilbao, today I came to check it out.”
Demario Alejandro laughed coldly and said, “Check? You didn’t need to, you were fired last night!”.
Adán Rouco’s dark eyes were sharp and cold. “When your company fires an employee, you have to give a reason, don’t you?”.
“A reason?” Demario Alejandro pointed to Estrella Berrocal, “Last night he lost a business deal that was cooked and cost me and the company a fortune, that’s the reason!”
“It’s not uncommon for business deals to go bad, and it’s okay to fire an employee when they don’t work out, and pay them what they deserve.”
Demario Alejandro let out a “heh”, “That’s it and you want to get paid? I told you no.”
When Estrella Berrocal first joined the company, Demario Alejandro had struck her as kind and friendly, but within a day he had lost the image she had of him for being too mean.
Adán Rouco raised his chin slightly and gestured to Santino Yepes behind him, “Go find President Huberto.”
Santino Yepes nodded, “Yes.”
Demario Alejandro heard Adam Rouco’s tone of voice, and then had the presence of mind to look at the man in front of him. The man wore a black trench coat with a thin white shirt underneath, the hem of the shirt was tied at the expensive belt, and his long legs were encased in straight black pants.
Was this man, who knew President Hubert, someone important?
But how could Estrella Berrocal, who had come to the Prosperity Company to work as a small saleswoman, meet someone powerful?
When he thought about it, Demario Alejandro was not afraid. He thought that the man was only pretending, that he had learned of President Huberto’s name from Estrella Berrocal, and that now he was just trying to scare people.
Demario Alejandro, who had been thinking about this, became more confident, and then looked at the belt around Adam Rouco’s waist and growled: “I think it’s a fake!
The Prosperity Company was not very big and with all this commotion, the whole company was looking this way.
There were saleswomen in the commercial department watching the action, and the discussion was not too loud.
“Is that man Estrella’s boyfriend? How come I’ve never heard her mention him before?”
“Yeah, if he’s really her boyfriend, he’s too cute!”
“This man is so … handsome he can’t keep his legs together!”
Estrella Berrocal listened naturally to the discussions, all complimenting Adán Rouco, and felt a little proud that such a handsome man was now taking it out on her, and that he … had just called himself her man, with layers and layers of sweetness dripping from his heart, thick enough to drown her.
Adán Rouco felt the small hand that held his and squeezed his fingers even tighter, full of dependence.
A few minutes later, Huberto Carnero approached, excited and amazed to see Adán Rouco, “What a surprise visit from President Rouco, I am sorry to receive him! What President Rouco brings to the city of S!”
Demario Alejandro on the other side had a bad feeling about this man. Even President Huberto nods to this man?
Adán Rouco looked at the small woman next to him and said, “I’m in S to take my wife home.”
Estrella Berrocal: “…”
Adam Rouco felt the soft hand tremble slightly in his palm.
Huberto Carnero was confused, how had Adán Rouco come to S to pick up his wife and welcome her to his company?
“Is President Rouco married? Dare I ask if President Rouco has received Mrs. Rouco?”
Adán Rouco’s face did not vary and his voice leveled as he replied, “I just picked her up last night, but she has suffered a lot and cried in my arms for a long time, and it was necessary for me, as a husband, to do her justice.”
“…”
Estrella Berrocal’s eyes popped out, when had she been crying in his arms for so long?
But Estrella Berrocal’s ears reddened with pleasure at the phrase “it is necessary for a husband to do her justice”.
Huberto Carnero froze for a moment, then looked at Estrella Berrocal next to Adán Rouco, then at the hands they were shaking, incredulous, but wasn’t this Estrella Berrocal a very small saleswoman who had joined the company half a month ago?
She remembered very well that it had been a long time since they had hired such a pretty young saleswoman, and she had even looked at her resume at the time.
“President Rouco, dare I ask if Mrs. Rouco is in …?”
Adán Rouco suddenly slipped his arm around Estrella Berrocal’s shoulders and drew the petite woman into his arms, lowering his handsome face and asking in a low voice, “Mrs. Rouco, haven’t you told them who your husband is? Do I look so little?”
“…”
Estrella Berrocal’s little face began to turn red.
This man, was it really appropriate to mock her in front of so many people in public?
Huberto Carnero’s glasses fell off …
A few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Adán Rouco, a man who was known for his decisiveness in the business world and his iron hand, but when I met him in person, he was also a thunderer, and when he spoke and looked at people, his gaze was indifferent and somewhat arrogant.
But when the man looked up at the others, he still appeared distant and above everyone else, with a slightly murderous tone in his voice, and Huberto Carnero immediately smiled and said dryly, “President Rouco, the truth is that I did not know that Miss Estrella was your wife; if I had known, I would not have dared to let her work in our small company. President Rouco, you see, when Mrs. President Rouco, Mrs. Rouco, if there is any negligence on my part or on the part of the company, I ask for kindness and forgiveness.”
“Neither my wife nor I are small-time people, but last night, one of President Huberto’s men, took my wife to a social gathering, and if I had not arrived in time, my wife would have been taken back and used as a bargaining chip in a power deal.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Huberto Carnero’s eyes twitched, his face turned white and he immediately scolded Demario Alejandro: “Who told you to do such a shameful thing! Using a subordinate to negotiate business? Who taught you that? You will apologize to Mrs. Excuse me now.”
Now that he had offended Mrs.
If Adán Rouco gets angry, he will lose his small company …
Huberto Carnero’s heart fluttered at the thought.
