Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

“Who’s staring at you?”

Estrella Berrocal hastily dodged the hot red face and was straining to get up from him when the large hand secured around her waist tensed violently, the man frowned stoically and spat two words in a dark voice: “Don’t move.”

“This is the office…”

Estrella Berrocal reminded him in a whisper.

Of course he knew this was an office.

But with her light eyes looking at him with such “fire,” was she sure she wasn’t expecting something?

The man’s gaze was even narrower and deeper: “You look at me with such a burning gaze, aren’t you waiting for something to happen with me in the office?”.

This man, too self-absorbed!

“Who wants to do something with you in the office?”

Are you always thinking about these erotic things?

On the other side of the door there was a knock on the door and Santino Yepes called out, “Boss, the board meeting is about to start.”

Estrella Berrocal hurried to get off his lap: “I have to get back to work too!”.

He had come to settle accounts with him, but how had this situation come about?

Adán Rouco grabbed her wrist and looked at her with dark eyes, “Wait for me tonight after work and come with me to pick up Paulita from school.”

She nodded, “Understood.”

Estrella Berrocal came out of the office and bumped into Santino Yepes.

Seeing that she seemed to have lost her temper, Santino Yepes timidly asked her, “Miss Estrella, have you settled everything with the boss?”

Estrella Berrocal froze at the question, then nodded her head heatedly and walked briskly to the elevator.

Adán Rouco came out with the papers, with a handsome face, arrogant and clear: “Next meeting, choose a good time”.

“Huh?”

When Santino Yepes came to, he looked at the man’s erect back and his heart fluttered.

Did you just interrupt the boss?

…

When Estrella Berrocal returned to the creative department, which was assembled, she quietly made her way to her seat, but Olivia Montes still caught a glimpse of her.

“Estrella Berrocal, there is nothing for you here, you can leave now”.

He looked at the meeting at the screening, it was a joint competition with Yahua Animation, “But I…”

“Go away and don’t waste our time.”

Estrella Berrocal took a deep breath and left the meeting room to the scornful looks of the attendees.

When the meeting ended, Estrella Berrocal headed straight to Olivia Montes’ office.

“Director Olivia, I too would like to participate in this Yawar contest, I am an illustrator, but illustrators and original artists are not separate per se.”

“You want to introduce yourself, Estrella Berrocal, do you think you own the company?”.

Estrella Berrocal knew that Olivia Montes was only looking for a fight, “Director Olivia, please give me a good reason why I can’t apply for the contest”.

Olivia Montes snorted and looked at her with a raised eyebrow, “No reason, I just don’t want you to participate in this contest.”

Since Estrella Berrocal had joined the Rouco family, she had stolen the limelight, and there was no way she was going to allow her to be the center of attention in this Yawar competition.

“If nothing else you can leave, I have work to do.”

Estrella Berrocal left Olivia Montes’ office depressed, thinking, was she going to beg Adán Rouco to help her?

But the man had always been on Olivia Montes’ side, would he help her …?

…

La Villa Guillén.

Doria Guillén would put a diamond necklace around her neck while coaching Irene Guillén: “Tonight we are going to the Tasis’ house for a family dinner, you have to behave yourself so that your uncle Tasis will look at you differently.”

“Mom, how many times have you said that? I have calluses on my ears!”.

Doria Guillén growled, “If you’re going to remember, throw that Iván Martínez out, after all the jokes you made at the wedding and his affair with Estrella Berrocal, you still want to be with him?”

Irene Guillén replied: “Isn’t it normal to have an affair with Estrella Berrocal? I would have taken it away from Estrella Berrocal”.

“You…”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, okay, mom, don’t worry, I’ll soon break up with Iván Martínez, it’s impossible for me to be with him again after he and Estrella Berrocal embarrassed us in front of so many people last time, and besides, I’m not interested anymore.”

“It’s good for you to know.” Doria Guillen looked at her daughter in the mirror and smiled, “The Martinez’s are no longer even a fine camel, if you had married there, we would have had to pay for it, but now things are different. If you do well and take Jonathan Tasis with you, not only the Tasis Group, but also Jonathan Tasis’ company, Yahua Film and Television Company, will be yours.”

Doria Guillén patted her daughter’s hand and said, “Irene, you have to take advantage of this opportunity.”

“But, if you marry Uncle Tasis, will Uncle Tasis have a problem if I stay with my brother?”.

Doria Guillen said amused, “You and Jonathan Tasis are not related by blood, what can your uncle Tasis do if he doesn’t want to? If he can’t with Jonathan Tasis, we’ll be close, what’s wrong with that?”.

Irene Guillén remembered the last time Jonathan Tasis gave Estrella Berrocal an Audi, and frowned angrily, “Mom, Estrella Berrocal knows her brother, and last time he gave her a car!”

“What are you talking about? Irene, listen carefully, even if you can’t have Jonathan Tasis, you can’t let Estrella Berrocal have her way, anyone, as long as Estrella Berrocal doesn’t have a better life than us! How is she going to compete with you if she’s nothing but a phoenix that has lost her feathers? Behind you, now, is the Tasis family”.

“But Mom, she’s with Adán Rouco, it seems to be true, and if the Rouco family backs her, I’m afraid she’ll do something even more arrogant than what she did at the last wedding.”

Doria Guillén’s gaze was cold: “Then let the Rouco family hate her and expel her once and for all from the Rouco family! Without the Rouco family, what right does she have to be so arrogant?”.

Irene Guillén thought of Olivia Montes: “Don’t worry, mom, I’ll see to it that Estrella Berrocal is left alone”.

Irene Guillén leaves her bedroom and dials a telephone.

“Hello, Miss Olivia? I’ve been thinking about what you told me last time.”

“Has Miss Irene really thought about it?”

“I am committed to work with you to get Estrella Berrocal out of the Rouco family, I have lived with Estrella Berrocal for more than ten years and I know that person of yours better, don’t worry, I will get her out of the Rouco family.”

Olivia Montes smiled faintly, “Miss Irene, good luck with our collaboration.”

Irene Guillén hung up the phone when a loud scream came from downstairs.

“Irene! Listen to my explanation! Nothing really happened between Estrella Berrocal and me! You want to give me one more chance!”

Irene Guillén stared down at Iván Martínez on the floor below, red lips curved and a hint of cunning and calculation creeping into her eyes.

He turned around and walked down the stairs, letting Ivan Martinez enter the house, and coldly ordered, “Come in.”

Ivan Martinez stepped forward and embraced her, saying with some emotion, “Irene, are you willing to forgive me?”

“Forgive? That depends on how you behave.”

“I’ll do anything you want me to do, if you’ll forgive me.”

He hugged her tighter and Irene Guillén frowned, pushing him away with some displeasure, “My mother is still at home, don’t move your hands, I haven’t forgiven you yet.”

“Say it, I’ll do anything you want me to do, as long as you promise me you’ll forgive me!”.
