THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

At the Construction Company

For his part, Christopher picked up his cell phone again and dialed Amber’s number. However, the call went straight to voicemail. He, giving up, left on his way to his Penthouse, he wanted to feel her scent again, her fragrance, which was impregnated in his sheets as in his pillow.

Once in the apartment, Christopher went straight to take a shower, when he heard the ringing of his cell phone.

Ring, ring! Ring, ring!

He went out to his room to get it, thinking it was Amber, but when he saw Glenys’ name on the caller ID, he let it ring until the call ended.

Now is when he least wants to hear from other women. He loves Amber, she is the woman of his life, the one he desires and wants to be with always. In any case, regardless of what happened between them, he will not betray her any less, after that surrender.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Christopher put on his pajamas and lay down to sleep. This time he slept peacefully, confident that at some point he would see her again. For her part, Amber in her bed, wept bitterly for her weakness and her slip which she will pay dearly for, because from the next day on, she will be alone.

“All because of you, Christopher. You only came into my life to upset it, to alter what I had already built with so much eagerness, in such a short time”, she analyzed, drowning her tears in the pillow, without recognizing her responsibility.

The following day

At four o’clock in the afternoon, with a sunny day, Amber left for Islander, two hours away from Santiago de Leon, looking to forget definitively what she might feel for Christopher. Dylan Lugo was very excited, he seemed to have closed the deal of his life.

-Here’s to you! -Dylan said, raising his glass and clinking it with Amber’s, in the same cabin of the plane, “Chin-chin!

-Thank you! And I’m here for you, Chin-chin! -exclaimed Amber.

It was an extraordinary trip, with excellent attention from the crew. When they arrived at the airport, they were met by a driver from Constructora Lugo’s agency, in Islander, who took them to the building where Dylan has the apartment he offered her as accommodation.

-This will be your home, you can feel free to change whatever you want and adjust it to your liking, take the keys,” he said, looking at her with rapt attention, while she took them, “I will be in the apartment just above this one, which is also mine.

-Thank you Dylan! I hope I meet all your expectations,” she said, a little sadly.

-No, Amber, I don’t want to see you like this! -he declared, approaching her and hugging her, to comfort her. However, she immediately pulled away from him.

-I’m sorry, Dylan! But I miss my mother. She didn’t want to come with me, so as not to leave the apartment in disarray. As soon as I finish everything there, I’ll bring her to me,” she told him, controlling her crying and letting go of his hands.

-Calm down! Since I know them, I know they can’t be without each other, that’s why I authorized you to bring her with you,” he clarified, showing empathy with them.

-Thank you Dylan! You’ve been a great friend, a person I can trust,” she said gratefully, smiling and dragging her suitcase into the master bedroom.

After the tour of the apartment, Dylan left for his, leaving space for her to miss and long for him, because here, she only has him.

Amber, that night prepared dinner and invited Lugo to eat with her. He was delighted to come down at once, although he had thought of taking her to the best restaurant in Islander, which according to his point of view, beats the best in Santiago de Leon.

-Ding, dong! Ding, dong!

-I’m coming! -Amber answered, immediately opening the door to welcome Lugo, who was holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

-That is, if there wasn’t any here! -she commented, smiling.

-That’s precisely why I brought it,” he mentioned, passing directly to the dining room, since he knew perfectly where everything was in the apartment.

They sat down to eat and toasted to her arrival to Islander, as well as the future success of all their cases. Amber did not want to consume wine, beyond the toasting glass, remembering the deleterious effect it had produced on her will, when she ate with Christopher, two nights before.

Afterwards, the two of them in the main room talked about what they would do the next day. He considered it vital that she meet with those who had hitherto represented him legally. That way, she could get up to speed on everything and immediately initiate whatever action she deemed appropriate.

Dylan was being sued by people who considered that the constructions he was carrying out affected their properties and therefore their rights.

-When I bought the land, there was no construction around it! It turns out that now that I have started the construction work, there are supposed owners of these lands who are even trying to take away my right of way,” said Dylan angrily.

-Did you file a complaint with the administrative authorities? -she asked.

-That was supposed to be done by the lawyers, they have power of attorney. Understand me, Amber!

I don’t have time to waste in judicial or administrative processes, having other more important things to attend to both inside and outside the country,” he assured very seriously.

-Okay! -she exclaimed, thoughtfully.

-That’s why Amber, I need your help, because I don’t know what the lawyers I hired have done. They charge very high fees, but so far, they haven’t solved any problem for me.

-Can I meet with them tomorrow? -she asked, staring at him.

-Yes, here things will be how and when you want them to be, so don’t doubt it!

-Great! Tell me, what time can we be there? In the meantime, the earlier the better to make the most of the time and then leave for the courts, to check the status of the cases,” she said.

-The earliest would be ten minutes to eight in the morning and we will meet in the boardroom. Where I will introduce you as my proxy, I will let them know that your decision is above all,” he replied, taking her hand and smiling with her.

-Magnificent! I hope this last thing won’t get me in trouble with someone here,” she smiled.

-Whoever doesn’t agree, can leave,” he declared firmly, showing her that she is above anyone…
