THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

In Islander

However, Amber, determined to experiment, to try to get Christopher out of her heart and mind, let herself be kissed by Dylan. She responded to the kiss, although it was light, as she remembered that just a few days ago, she had been with him again, therefore, she preferred to separate and get into the car.

As they started the car, there was a great silence between them. Amber was reflecting on the negative consequences that this could bring to her working relationship with Dylan. Meanwhile, he was meditating on the triumph of having kissed her and how she will take it, because she was very quiet, she seemed angry.

-Amber! I don’t know if I got carried away by the moment, the euphoria of being with you. I’m aware that you asked me for time, but it wasn’t in my plans for this to happen yet. -he begged in his manly, but very husky voice.

-I have nothing to forgive you for. I was responsible too, since I didn’t refuse it,” she replied, “Only let’s try, this won’t happen again, unless we decide to start a relationship together,” she demanded, without looking at him.

-Great! Every day that goes by, I like you more! -He acknowledged, unable to deny it, “You’re really the woman of my dreams!

-Heh heh heh heh! I think the liquor has you like that,” she answered, and after that, she relaxed completely, starting a very pleasant conversation, exclusively related to the next day’s activities.

When they arrived at the residential complex, Dylan accompanied her to the door of her apartment, where he said goodbye to her, with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, thanking her that it was the most extraordinary night of his life.

-That, you’ll tell everyone! -she flirted, a little too much to drink, as she was not used to consuming liquor.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha! See you tomorrow, have a good rest. And I swear, I’ve never told anyone in my thirty-three years of life,” he said, smiling and walking happily to the elevator.

When she entered the apartment, she went straight to her room, looking for a sedative to prevent her from getting a hangover, because the next day she had to get up early to go with Dylan to run some errands.

Finally, she went into the bathroom, took a shower and when she went to bed, she couldn’t help but compare the kiss Dylan gave her, with the ones Christopher had given her so far. Definitely, the kisses of the latter, are destructive of her will, they dominate her, they bend her and end up annihilating her capacity of resistance -she recognized.

Meanwhile, in Santiago de Leon

Genesis, in her room, made a mental recap of what she had experienced on her first day of work. After she agreed to stay, Elian filled her in on what her duties were to be.

As he explained, it was a virtual job. She could perform it there, in that office where she would have all the equipment and technology she needed to do it. From this point of view, he did not need to make contact with Christopher.

In addition, Elian was in charge of the travel and tourism service. So, once installed in the office, Genesis started her own activity, breaking sales records, which kept her boss happy and pleased with her success.

At lunchtime, he called her to ask if he could have lunch with her. When she agreed, they ate right there in the back of the office, where there was a fold-out table attached to the wall and two stools.

He brought food, surprising her, as it was precisely one of her favorite dishes. Then he left because he was going to a meeting with Christopher and she was left alone until it was time to leave. He called her again to remind her that she could leave, telling her where the key was so she could lock up.

So it was an extraordinary and productive day, where no one disturbed or disturbed her. Really, it was a comfortable, relaxed and calm environment. Because of this, she wrote to Amber on WhatsApp:

[“Friend! How are you, how have you been doing? I haven’t heard from you in days” Genesis asked Amber].

[“Holaaa, beautiful sister! I’m doing great, with lots of sparkles, heh heh heh!” replied Amber smiling].

[“Don’t tell me you drank?” asked Genesis, amazed].

[“Yessssss, I needed it. I was too stressed and I don’t want to be affected by Christopher’s presence in my life anymore” she answered].

[“How so?” Genesis queried].

[Almost a week ago I gave myself to Christopher again. I fell again before his kisses and caresses; he dominates me, he overrides my will, I can’t be near him” she answered].

[“God!!! Tell me!!!”, her friend expressed].

[I don’t know how it happened? If he still doubts me. He says he loves me” questioned Amber, looking sparkly and about to fall asleep].

[“I can’t advise you, or call attention to you! Because so far, I’ve never fallen in love” commented Genesis with concern].

[Friend, it’s the worst business we do and even more if you are in a situation like mine, I don’t know if I hate him more than I love him or if I love him more than I hate him,” consulted Amber].

[“You haven’t seen him again?” her friend asked].

[No. I ran away, I fled Santiago de Leon, I accepted Dylan’s job offer in Islander” she answered, trying not to fall asleep yet].

[My God, I didn’t know you had left,” commented Genesis].

[“That was out of the blue, I decided without thinking too much” she mentioned].

[And here I am, trying to forget it, but even though Dylan kissed me and I kissed him back, I won’t forget it, it won’t leave my mind or my heart” she assured].

[“Girlfriend, sister!!!! That’s not the solution, I think you need professional help” quoted Genesis].

[I also have something to tell you, I started to work, where I told you the last time we saw each other,” confessed Genesis].

[“That’s great! I’m so happy for you” exclaimed Amber and sent a smiley face emoji].

[“Yes, but it’s in one of Christopher’s companies, as I didn’t know the company, I signed a contract, ignoring who the owner was” she exclaimed, worried that her friend would get angry].Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

[How so?” asked Amber, opening her eyes, even though she was about to fall asleep].

[“As I told you, I didn’t know who the owner was until today, when I went to the headquarters. It was in the Morillo & Wood Tower” expressed Genesis].

[Elian, the person in charge of the travel and tourism agency, explained to me that I will not have any contact with Christopher, because that service was under his authority,” Genesis added.]

[I only ask you to take care of yourself, he went to visit mommy, who by the way, is already here with me, and to talk to her and tell her that he loves me” Amber wrote].

[“Yes how can he not? He loves me, but at the bottom of the sea! Hip, hip! Heh, heh, heh! I’m hiccuping, I’d better go to sleep, tomorrow I’ll write you” Amber said goodbye, unable to stand the sleep and the hiccups].

[See you tomorrow, friend!” said Genesis].

[“I see sparkles… hip, hip!”, added Amber].
