THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-I have the solution to that, and it’s on me. Do you want to visit the islands of Santa Lucia? he asked, feeling better now.

-Yes,” answered Thiago, “we wanted to go last year at this time, but we couldn’t get accommodation, everything was full,” he added in a pleasant voice.

-Family, when you need to travel, look for me! I started in this tourism industry, for now the attention is virtual -he confessed with a half smile and winking- I have a resort there and a spectacular apartment.

-Nooooo!” shouted his sister, lowering her voice later so as not to wake up their parents, “Why didn’t you tell me that before? -she cried, making a gesture of supposed anger at him.

-Of course, because you didn’t ask me!” he replied, smiling, “When do you want to leave? To prepare for your flight. What do you prefer, the resort or the apartment? In the resort you don’t do anything, everything is done for you,” he added smiling.

-If you can, we want to leave the day after tomorrow at noon, we will thank you for it.

-Count on that, I will leave everything ready for you, you just have to contact my assistant, as soon as you arrive tomorrow,” informed Christopher, remembering that he was leaving that afternoon on a flight to Islander.

-And that, you won’t be here,” she asked curiously.

-I’m leaving on a trip now, after noon to Islander and I’m not sure if I’ll be back tomorrow, it all depends on how it goes,” he answered, with a very well disguised calmness.

-Ah, ok! I’ll see you back then. Let’s make it a week’s ride, please,” she begged, as she said goodbye to him.

-I’m sure it will be, I’ll take care of it,” Christopher replied.

While his sister went out to the garage area of the mansion, he went upstairs to his room, to take a shower, and go to pick up his Ferrari at the mall, where he left it. What’s more, he doesn’t even remember how he got there. When he got to his room, he met his father.

-How did you wake up, son? asked his father.

-Dad, let me take a shower and I’ll be right down to talk to you,” he answered, aware that his parents must want an explanation for his behavior last night.

-Okay! He’s waiting for you downstairs in the dining room,” Don Ozzi clarified.

-I already had breakfast with Daniela and Thiago, who have already left,” he announced, entering his room.

-Okay! He waited for you in the dining room,” insisted his father.

As he entered his room, Christopher called Elian to arrange the trip to the islands for his sister and brother-in-law, and even to send them on one of his planes. He also asked him to arrange for them to spend the week at the resort, with all services included.

On the other hand, he asked her to confirm their trip, for that afternoon, and to make a reservation at a seven star hotel, the closest one to where Amber lives. He also informed her that no one, absolutely no one, should have any knowledge of this trip to that region.

-As you say, boss,” replied his assistant.

Finally, he hung up the call concentrating on his bathroom, dressing very casually, as he will not go to the office today, whatever it is he will attend to it from his room, before the flight.

At the same time, in Islander

Amber, waking up with a bad headache, went to the bathroom to turn her stomach and got a couple of painkillers for the headache. She felt a little dizzy, so she went out to ask her mother what she could take to avoid feeling like this.

She immediately prepared a juice and food that would help her to level the sugar and potassium levels in her body, which tend to drop when she drinks a lot of liquor. Her mother, amazed that she was in this situation, advised her.

-Daughter, avoid that worries and problems of whatever nature make you fall into inappropriate behaviors, to which you are not accustomed,” her mother said, looking at her with a raised eyebrow, rejecting this behavior of hers.

“Please! Avoid vices of any nature whatsoever, as well as ill-advised decisions.

-Yes, mother! I know,” she replied, embarrassed. “I trusted myself, since they were fruit cocktails, I didn’t think they would have so much alcohol, let alone that I would drink too much,” she affirmed.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Or maybe because I’m not used to drinking liquor, I had this reaction. But, I promise you, I’ll never drink them again in my life, I feel so bad,” she said.

-I prefer that! Don’t take them again,” requested her mother, observing that this escape of hers will bring changes, the consequences of which will not be so good.

Ding, dong! Ding, dong!

As the doorbell rang, Amber, rushed up from the table and told her mother to attend to Dylan, while she showered and groomed herself, she didn’t want him to see her in that condition.

As Amber entered her room, Sabrina opened the door, finding Dylan with a wide smile, greeting her with a kiss on the cheek and asking for her daughter.

-She’s taking a shower, but please come in and wait for her, can I get you some coffee?” she asked cordially.

-Yes, Mrs. Sabrina, thank you! -he answered, very kindly.

She attended to the visitor, while her daughter was getting ready to leave with him to go to court. On her part, Amber, feeling better, remembered a little of the excesses she had committed the night before, among them, reciprocating Dylan’s kiss.

Once ready, she went out like a beautiful executive to fulfill her work day. In the meantime, he was totally satisfied with the woman he had by his side, and went out to show her off. When he arrived at his office, he greeted all the executives and introduced, one by one, his new proxy.

After this, they left for the courthouse, where Dylan’s other lawyers were waiting for them. When they arrived at the judicial headquarters, Amber was pleasantly surprised, one of her great classmates, was the judge rector of Islander, whom she met at the entrance.

Also, in the courthouse where one of Dylan’s cases was being handled, the judge of the case taught her and felt a great sympathy for her, because she was one of his most outstanding students. The two, upon seeing her, greeted her and received her with great affection, even inviting her to lunch, to talk with her…
