Deep love: insatiable lover

-Mr Gerardo, our proposal has been rejected.

-What?

At the secretary’s words, Gerard raised his head and looked towards her. He thought he had misheard, but the secretary looked serious and clearly meant what he had said. She handed over the papers in her hand and held them out so that Gerard could read them for himself.

-It was delivered personally by Director Lacasa’s secretary.

-Where is it?

-The lounge.

-I’m going there now.

Director Lacasa’s secretary, who was having a cup of tea when she saw Gerardo, got up unhurriedly to make a few polite remarks.

-What the hell is going on here? The new energy project changed hands from the Cazalla Group, in partnership with the SJ Group, how could the proposal be rejected?

Both on the side of the SJ Group and on the side of Director Lacasa, it is clearly a win-win situation with all points already taken.

The secretary suddenly showed a troubled expression and said politely:

-I won’t hide it from you, but our director can’t do anything about it. The authorities take this new energy project very seriously and have sent an inspection team. Initially, our director had already greeted you, but somehow, the inspectors found out about your grandson’s incident on the Internet. No, the other party refused to let the Moya Group continue to participate in the new energy project on the grounds that government-supported projects should not be contaminated. Our director only told the public that the proposal was not approved, because of his friendship with you.

In that case, director Lacasa continues to save Gerardo’s face.

He was furious, but he couldn’t show it. After all, if he wants to redeem himself, he still needs to lean on the man in front of him, Director Lacasa.

-So what now, Grupo Moya can’t participate in this project?

-Yes, the inspectors have regained the right to secondary cooperation. All of the new energy project is only from the SJ group working with the government, and only a tenth of it is distributed to other companies.

The biggest winner was actually the SJ group.

Dylan!

-What does director Lacasa say, is there room for redemption?

-Don’t be anxious, Sir, it will pass. In this way, the Moya Group will remain for the time being and wait until our Director Lacasa has fought for it.

Gerardo was a little relieved to hear this.

“It’s good that there is still a chance. Even if there is a chance, I will take it and I will not pass up such a great opportunity to promote Grupo Moya for nothing.”

-Work hard and tell Director Lacasa for me too, when I invite him to dinner with Miss Felicia one day and we can all sit down together.

-Then I’ll go back first.

The secretary nodded and got up to leave.

Only when the people left did Gerardo grimace and break everything in the room.

His face was blue with anger and his chest kept rising and falling violently.

-This is outrageous! This is outrageous.

He had traded the soon-to-be-profitable Nansa Bay project for a new energy partnership, and this was the result. If he had not seized the last opportunity, all his investment would have been useless.

The thought made Gerardo even more irritated and he immediately called Orlando.

-Well, more. orlando, give it to me….

Melina wrapped her soft, slender waist around Orlando, pulling him against the wall.

That’s when Orlando’s phone rang.

He pushed his pesetero aside and picked up the phone, seeing “grandpa” and his eyes instantly filled with anger. Leaning on the bed, he absently lit a cigarette before answering Gerardo’s call.

-Grandfather, what can I do for you?

-Wherever you are, come back to me now. Also, contact Felicia and invite her to dinner. I don’t care what you do, please Felicia for me and make her happy. Deceive or entice, whatever Felicia can do to help us, do it.

Gerard’s middle roar hit Orlando’s eardrums, word for word, using him as a tool.

Behind him, Melina could also hear her clearly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Indeed, it was the same as the information I had received.

“Gerardo now had his eye on another woman! I gave birth to a son for the Moya family and Gerardo no longer needed me. He had his eye on a woman who was more useful to the Moya family and I would soon become a second Vanessa”.

“No, I don’t want to divorce Orlando.”

It had been so hard to push Vanessa away, so hard to beat her, that she could not give up her position as Orlando’s wife.

Gerardo asked Orlando to impress the woman, and she was determined to sabotage and derail Gerardo’s plan.

When the time came, she could no longer force Orlando to be with another woman.

Melina thought, her eyes tinged with malice and hatred.

Orlando didn’t notice Melina’s expression because he was also in a bad mood himself.

-Hasn’t the new energy project already been confirmed?

“The cooperation briefcase is still in Vanessa’s hands”.

-If I’m sure, do I still need you to please Felicia?

Gerardo shouted angrily and irresistibly, ordering Orlando to come back immediately before hanging up the phone.

-Shit.

Orlando cursed angrily and turned to Melina, stubbing out the cigarette in his hand on his white arm.

-Ah! Orlando.

Melina winced in pain, but Orlando watched her with cold eyes and a look of pleasure in them.

After venting his anger and disgust, he unceremoniously let go of her hand, got up and went into the bathroom.

He washed, changed and left without looking back.

Melina clasped her hands.

Orlando had a wild ride and soon arrived at Grupo Moya.

After hearing all that had happened, his face also instantly darkened.

-What else is there to think about? This is all a trap Dylan must have devised a long time ago. He is planning to annex the Moya Group and become the head of the Moya Group himself. If he really didn’t want Grupo Moya, why did he come back to Pacifica City from overseas? -Orlando said disdainfully, irritation filling his eyes. Annoyed that he hadn’t seen earlier that this was a trap for Dylan, annoyed that he’d been outwitted by him. Now that he thought about it, he even suspected he might have had Dylan’s “help” to get to this point with Vanessa.

“The Moya family is going to steal!”

Gerard was equally sombre, listening to his analysis but saying nothing. Only his eyes were serious and he seemed to be thinking about something.

-Dylan’s trap or not, the most important thing now is to please Felicia and get the Moya Group to participate in the new energy project smoothly with Director Lacasa. Hm, if you weren’t useless and had made all that mess, how could they not approve Grupo Moya’s proposal!

Ultimately, it was all Orlando’s fault.

In that case, what’s wrong with letting him curry favour with Felicia to recoup his losses?

Orlando clenched his hands as Gerardo’s accusation felt like a hard slap in the face.

How was he going to marry Melina if Gerardo had not forced him to divorce Vanessa for the sake of the baby Melina was carrying in her womb, and how was he going to get the evidence to put it on the internet!
