THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-Stupid! -Angie growled again, looking with embarrassment at Joshua, for she doesn’t know what he would think, with the words uttered by her sister. However, what worried him the most was Luz’s condition, so he could not let her go home.

-Angie, can you call your dad and let him know that they will leave in the afternoon? Make any excuse, that there is a special event at the hotel and they want to take advantage of it to participate in it -he begged, very worried.

-Calm down! I’ll call him back, please relax! It’s not the first time she does this, it’s just that she hasn’t done it for a long time,” she clarified.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She left the room to talk to him in private. Even though her father was putting her father’s foot down, she managed to convince him. Angie assured him that as soon as the event was over, they would go home, which is why he agreed to his daughter’s request.

-Ready! I’ve convinced him,” she said.

-Perfect! Let me call medical services, to know if they can do something to reduce the intense effect of what he consumed,” declared the astonished man, “I never imagined that any of you would consume that kind of garbage! And even less, being the daughters of who you are.

-Don’t tell me you’ve never felt the curiosity to try it? -she asked, in the most normal way. Leaving Joshua, on the spot and mute before her frank confession.

-No! I’ve never been interested in experiencing that crap,” he said, disappointed.

-Nowadays, it’s common among young people to experiment with everything. That way no one will pull the wool over your eyes, no one will deliberately deceive us, with the intention of making us do something different from what we want to do,” she assured him, convinced that this was the truth.

Joshua, bringing both hands to his face, was amazed at what he heard, remembering the warning his friend Christopher had given him, a few nights before.

“… However, you know before you give your heart away, do your research, inquire first if it’s worth it,” he reminded himself, analyzing what trouble he has gotten himself into, with these women, who apparently have many vices.

He, wanting to get out of this situation, decided to go to his office and left the housekeeper in charge of the two girls. He ordered that nothing was missing and that everything they asked for, except alcoholic beverages, should be brought to them.

He also called the hotel’s medical service, who simply advised her to let her sleep and to eat nutritious meals and snacks when she woke up, which he ordered to be given to her as soon as she woke up.

Angie understood that she had made a mistake with him, with his last comments, regretting this, she stayed quietly in the room watching on TV, the series that she followed. For his part, Joshua did not understand how their father, having the position he holds, does not exercise more authority over his daughters.

Luz slept almost all day, waking up at five in the afternoon, with a strong hangover and a headache. Angie called room service and they brought her painkillers and water, as well as the food and drinks recommended by the doctor.

After this, Angie called Joshua who was in a meeting with his staff. He was dealing with the problem presented with Luz and the consumption of liquor and drugs in one of the rooms, without anyone knowing what was happening there.

Because of this, he gave the order to prevent events like this from happening again. He also demanded more control over the guests from everyone and also from the security system. It became evident that there are serious flaws in the monitoring system in this regard.

In the middle of the meeting, a call came in on his cell phone. When he noticed that it was Angie, he quickly got up and left the room to talk with more privacy.

-How is Luz? Did she wake up? -He asked, anguished because he felt his responsibility was compromised.

-Yes, a few minutes ago. She woke up with a strong hangover and a headache. The room service brought her everything the doctor said and she looks better now. Now I really want to go. Can you order your guardian to let us go,” she asked, angry with him.

-Yes, I’ll give him the order. Please take care of yourself! And don’t fall in the same way as your sister, it would be very sad for me to see you like that,” he commented, with his husky and manly voice.

-I tried it once, and I didn’t like it,” she mentioned, being sincere with him.

-I hope you keep it up! I’m not going to tell you when I’ll call you, because tomorrow I’m going on a business trip abroad, but I’ll call you when I get there,” he informed, grateful to her for the delicious hours she dedicated to him.

-Can’t I see you to say goodbye,” she asked, pleading. Although he was disappointed by everything he discovered, he recognized that he felt too attracted to Angie, who pretended to be an experienced and very liberal woman.

-Wait for me in the suite, I’ll be right up! -he ordered and hung up the call. He went up to the suite, entered the room and found them both sitting on the sofa. He walked towards them, focusing his gaze on Luz.

-How do you feel? -he asked seriously.

-Very well, thank you! And I’m sorry for what happened,” she said repentantly.

-I know I shouldn’t get involved in that! Because it’s exclusively your business, but it’s very depressing to see you in that state. You are a very beautiful, intelligent young woman who has everything. I don’t understand what could have led you to do this.

She, embarrassed, lowered her gaze and quietly accepted his call for attention. He approached Angie, lifted her from the sofa and took her by the waist, holding her close to his body. Afterwards, he kissed her very ardently on the mouth, saying goodbye to her with a strong hug.

-As soon as I get back from the trip, I’ll call you so we can meet,” he promised, kissing her lips softly.

-Okay! I’ll be waiting for your call,” she answered, hugging him around the waist, pressing her body closer to him, “However, we’ll be in touch by WhatsApp,” she assured him.

-I won’t assure you to answer you at once, because I’m going to be really busy. However, when I am free, I will answer your messages,” he promised again.

-Okay,” she replied. Leaving with his sister and him from the suite, they made their way to the elevator. When they reached the first floor, he escorted them to the car.

After they left, he called his father to confirm that he would be attending the meeting in Brussels that he had requested. He also called the crew of his plane to prepare the trip for the next day, giving the itinerary to the Captain.

That night before going to sleep, Joshua called Christopher and told him what had happened with Luz. Besides, explaining him the relationship he is starting with Angie, that by the way, he doesn’t know what name to give her, because in spite of feeling very attracted to her, he was somewhat disappointed…
