THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

In Islander

-Okay! So, I’ll go with you tomorrow,” Amber assured him, “Another question Dylan, will I have a company vehicle, will I have someone who can drive me to and from the airport, or will this be on my own? Or will this be on my own? -she asked with interest.

-Yes, the driver who is coming for us tomorrow, has been assigned to you, he will be available for you exclusively, Monday through Saturday.

-Thank you! I appreciate it. When did you make all these adjustments, to get everything ready so quickly? -she asked, with a smile and getting up from the sofa to offer him a drink.

-I have an excellent assistant, he represents here in Islander, my arms and my legs. He is someone you can trust, please just trust him,” he begged.

-What’s his name? -she asked, with some hesitation.

-Aldair, is one of my assistants in Santiago de Leon, but because of problems here I was forced to bring him, he is someone I trust completely,” he answered, winking.

-Is there anything else I should know? -she asked, uneasily.

-No, I don’t think so. You’re already aware of everything. I brought you here because I trust you, I’ve seen you work and you’re wonderful. So let’s toast to your successes and triumphs, here in Islander,” he toasted, raising his glass and clinking it with hers, which contained juice.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

-Thank you! -she replied with a smile. Feeling more relaxed than when she arrived. When she saw the time, she was amazed how the time with him had gone so fast.

-Well! I’ll say goodbye now, so you can rest and tomorrow we’ll start a day with new energy,” he commented, laughing.

-Yes, we’d better. See you tomorrow and thank you for everything, especially for your pleasant company,” she said, kissing him on the cheek.

Once in his apartment, Dylan, closing the door, celebrated, with joy and immense happiness, this new approach to Amber. He is sure to conquer her and make her his wife. He has been obsessed with her, ever since he first saw her with Christopher Morillo, at a party. He remembers it as if it were today…

“When he arrived at the Hotel Rosal, about five years ago, for its anniversary party, he was struck by a very beautiful young woman, with her porcelain complexion, olive green eyes, long wavy brown hair, a goddess-like body and an electric blue suit, totally tight to her body, which evidenced a perfect figure, but accompanied by Christopher Morillo”.

From that moment on, she made an impact on him and swore to herself that one day she would be his. And as fate would have it, she herself sought him out to accept his proposal, because it was clear that she wanted to run away from someone in Santiago de Leon and she had no choice but to take refuge in him.

He continued evoking: “That night, he wanted to dance with her, but Christopher never left Amber’s side, he was totally in love with her” he recalled, toasting alone.

He also recalled that after that night, he gradually got closer to her, but there was no chance, as the marriage engagement with Christopher was announced, and he looked happy.

Then came the problem in the hotel, her confinement in jail, until finally free, he could help her. So now, he only had to take advantage of this opportunity and work quickly for her to accept him.

For her part, Amber was thinking about Christopher and what he would be doing to locate her, because knowing him she knew he wouldn’t give up so easily.

“God! What a huge mistake I made,” she reflected, analyzing that she might as well not have gotten out of her car and left the residential complex, without having gone up to his Penthouse.

“I could have also not given him the tail, because it is impossible that he would have gone to a place so far away, without one of his cars, or else I should not have attended his appointment” she reflected again, regretting what she had done and remembering how she had loved him.

Meanwhile, in Santiago de Leon

At that very moment, Christopher again insisted on contacting Amber by cell phone. He did not know for sure where she lived. He knew which was the residential complex, but not the number of the apartment. As for her work, he knew the location of the Law Office, it was well known in the City.

“Tomorrow morning early, I’ll go to her office, somehow I’ll locate her again” he thought, not wanting to give up on her.

Then, he came out of the bathroom naked, wrapped only in a towel from the waist down and went into the dressing room, where in front of the huge mirror, he looked at himself and felt satisfied with his body.

-This little body fascinates her! So I’ll try to take care of it and keep it, just for her,” he said aloud, contemplating his abs and pecs. She had very well defined muscles.

Christopher, at no time did he imagine that she could run away. From his point of view, Amber still loved him, otherwise she wouldn’t have slept with him, of that he was sure. So dressing in his pajamas, he lay down to sleep, pondering on what to do again, to attract her?

Thinking about this, when his cell phone rang, he immediately answered the call, assuming it was her, since the caller ID did not appear.

-Hello! -he answered without identifying himself.

-If I don’t do it like this, you won’t answer my call! -It was an open and straightforward claim, without disguising it, although with a melodic and very soft voice.

-Oh, sorry, Glenys,” he answered in his manly voice, “I’ve been very busy since I left the checkpoint. This situation has left the construction company very bad, financially. I have had to go out to look for new capitalist partners -he clarified, annoyed.

-I didn’t know that,” she answered, embarrassed. “In any case, remember that you can count on me for anything.

-Thank you! Yes, I know,” he added.

-I’m sorry! For calling you at this hour, but I’ve also been very busy. I think we have a debt to settle! -I know you must not be in the mood to go out, but at least it will help you relax.

-Yes, besides, what’s promised is due. Tomorrow at noon I’ll confirm the place and time, okay? -He asked, acting very tactfully, to prevent her from finding out the real reason why he didn’t want to take her calls.

-I think it’s great. If by any chance you can’t reach me, leave me a voice message and I’ll listen to it when I’m free,” she said.

“Tomorrow I receive an inspection commission coming by presidential order to investigate irregularities. So I will be attending to it.

-If you have problems for tomorrow, we can leave it for another day,” he replied, claiming this as a perfect excuse, while he located Amber.

-No, there is nothing more important to me than “you”,” she stated categorically, emphasizing that last word.

-Thank you, I’m very flattered! -he commented.

-I’ll see you! I’ll be counting the hours until I see you,” she assured him. Meanwhile, he just smiled and shook his head from side to side, rejecting her behavior…
