THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Arriving on the floor, where Christopher’s office is located, he greeted his pool of secretaries, who greeted him very kindly, as well as Amber. They kept their distance and therefore none of them dared to approach them.

The door to Christopher’s office was open and Elian was inside. He was dictating orders by video call to the branch managers, who upon seeing their boss arrive with his young wife, immediately congratulated them. He thanked them for their good wishes, both for him and for his wife.

Elian, upon seeing them, got up and approached Christopher, telling him the results of the meeting. In this meeting, each Director by zone, presented a balance with extraordinary results. In addition, he let her know that the headquarters abroad would be connected the following day.

He approached Amber, whom he greeted with much respect, giving her a kiss on her cheek. Meanwhile, Christopher made personal contact with each Director, congratulating them on their extraordinary work. This was something he had never done before. Everyone was amazed, including Elian.

Then Genesis came upstairs and between the four of them, they had a pleasant conversation in Christopher’s office. He updated them on what had happened in his absence, offering Elian to attend the next day to talk to his managers abroad.

-Amber, do you notice that the staff is astonished with Christopher’s attitude?” asked her friend. “For some, he’s acting out because you’re here. He has never lowered his arrogance and arrogance, with anyone but Elian and me,” she said, in a whisper.

When Genesis explained this to her friend, she covered her mouth with one hand to keep from laughing. Besides, she shouldn’t let her boss know she was talking about him. The advantage for her was that Christopher apparently only focused his gaze on Amber, he looked very much in love and sometimes seemed obsessed with her.

-I have talked a lot with him, so that he can lower a little bit that high level of the toad syndrome he suffers from,” she said smiling, turning her gaze to her beloved husband, who was staring at her.

-The syndrome of what?” asked Genesis with extreme curiosity.

-The toad syndrome, as it is called to those who suffer from a lot of pride, arrogance, arrogance, arrogance and obstinacy,” she answered laughing with her friend, “He promised me to change, I’ll wait.

-That’s good, my friend,” said Genesis.

-Besides, an extraordinary psychologist from Santiago is helping us, he sees us once a month,” added Amber.

-That’s great! I’m so glad, now I can say it, this union will be for life -added Genesis happily, feeling the look of Christopher and Elian, who observed them with curiosity and with a smile on their lips.

-What are they up to?” he asked, fixing his gaze on Amber.

-Nothing love! -She answered, “we only talked about “women’s business”,” he pointed out, giving her a smile full of love.

Christopher, pleased to see her so happy, concentrated on what he was discussing with Elian, about changes and modifications in his companies as in his parents’. He asked her to add his business representatives in the three continents where he has investments to the next day’s meeting.

-Count on that,” Elian assured.

After this, they said goodbye and left directly to a street children’s foundation, with which Amber collaborated, where she would attend to advise them in a legal matter, presented with one of the children she shelters.

When Amber arrived with Christopher, she was congratulated by the director of the foundation, who was astonished to see that the husband of her legal advisor was one of the richest men in Santiago de Leon. She ushered them into her office, where she offered them tea.

-Thank you! -he accepted, observing some deterioration in the structure of the headquarters. He asked the Director if this building belonged to the foundation.

-No, it is not! -They gave it to me as a gratuitous loan, as long as it maintains the same objective of helping the neediest children,” she answered.

As they entered, the secretary with the tray brought the tea cups. Christopher, realizing that the director suddenly wanted to talk alone with Amber, asked for permission to go out and walk around the place. For which, she asked her secretary to accompany Mr. Morillo on a tour of the site.

The secretary, enchanted and fascinated by him, immediately tried unconsciously to fix her uniform, to look better. This was detailed by Amber, who felt a warning of jealousy and danger; she obviously did not want any woman to approach Christopher.

-My love, if you want to wait and I’ll take you on that tour myself, shall I? -she asked, with a warning smile, which he quickly perceived.

-Come on, my love! I’ll wait for you,” he answered smiling and sat down next to her again, thanking the secretary for her kindness.

Amber, listened attentively to the director, in all her story and made the respective advisories. She arranged with the people involved, a meeting for the next day, in the morning hours. In the meantime, Christopher concentrated on his electronic agenda and made some notes.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

When they finished their conversation, Amber approached him and told him that due to the time it was better to leave the meeting for another day. He replied that there was no problem, that since she had to go back, he would accompany her. Which she accepted.

Christopher said goodbye to the Director, walking hand in hand with Amber and observing that she was right, it was getting dark. As they got into the car, he asked her,

-Why did you get angry? When I was going to take the tour, I simply suggested it because I thought the Director would want to talk to you alone,” he said, taking her chin in his hands to look her in the eyes.

-Because I felt jealous,” she said, without filter and without anesthesia, repenting after what she expressed spontaneously.

He, smiling happily and contentedly, hugged her, kissed her, whispered in her ear…

-It is the first time that I see you jealous. You never used to make me jealous of anyone, remember,” he interjected, with a smile on his lips, “Until now you never did it,” he said, smiling and releasing her to start the car and get out of there.

-You think so!!! -She said, “It just never escaped my lips to admit it,” she said, looking ahead, so that he could concentrate on the road.

-How so?” he asked, astonished.

-When Rocio kissed you, at the restaurant, who by the way I dislike very much. When you were in the same discotheque with Michelle and she kissed you in front of everyone and obviously, because of your little friend, the Director of the Retainer, Glenys Fontalvo.

-My love! In none of the three situations you mention, I was aware of your jealousy,” he said, surprised.

-Well, you know that! I hope not to see any of the three of them near your little bones, nor Thor; as well as this secretary. Or didn’t you notice how she flirted with you and tried to look better when you agreed to take the tour with her? -she asked jealously and with displeasure.

-But, I will try to put a sign on my forehead to make it clear to everyone that I am yours and no one else’s,” he smiled, taking her hand and saying, “I love you, infinitely!

-And I love you! -she answered with a smile, lowering the intensity she was carrying. She covered her eyes, because the last thing she wanted was to maintain with him, a toxic relationship…
