THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

EMOTIONS….



Amber, suspected what was going on inside him, because ever since they became sweethearts it was like that, he got excited when he watched her dancing with that characteristic swagger and characteristic of her. Seeing her pull back, he smiled and walked off the dance floor to the table.

Dylan, who was seated at the table he shared with them, watched everything with disguised calm and tranquility. He was inwardly consumed with jealousy and rage at the sight of Amber’s open and overt flirtation with Christopher.

-I think you’ve overdone the hand or the move! She looks at Dylan’s face, although outwardly he seemed to feel nothing, she observes his look, dark and sinister.

-I have nothing to do with him and he has no right to reproach me! -she assured her with a mischievous and quick glance, winking.

On the other hand, Dylan was confused, he didn’t understand Amber’s attitude nor the approach to Christopher, who by the way when leaving to the parking lot looking for his car, was approached by Michelle.

-Grrrr!!… You won’t get rid of me that easy, Christopher Morillo,” she growled, lowly approaching him.

“Hip, hip!!! I’m going to give you a warning Chris, this will be over when I want it to be over, Hip, hip! Not when you want it to.

-We’ll see about that! -I don’t want anything to do with you, so you’re leaving the company too, that’s for the best!

“I’ll talk to your father, who is really my partner, because you don’t own anything,” he declared.

She jumped on him to attack him and struggled with him. When he let go of her hands, she fell to the floor, as a consequence of her drunkenness. Christopher took advantage of this to get into his car and drive away, leaving her alone on the floor of the parking lot, rejecting her again.

“How stupid I was, falling into the clutches of such a bitch!”, he reflected, looking through the rearview mirror at the show she was putting on, totally drunk. Watching her being taken away, he sped off in his Ferrari.

Arriving at the Penthouse, Christopher went directly to the bar, prepared a whiskey and swallowed it in one gulp. There had been so many emotions that day, especially the last few minutes. Seeing Amber again, having her around, remembering her body, her movements, was driving him crazy.

“My God, it can’t be that even knowing what I know about her, I’m dying to be with this one again. I wish to make her mine again” he reflected, feeling more and more unhappy.

That night he could not sleep, the proximity of her, awakened everything he thought he had overcome. Because of this, he took a bath with plenty of cold water. He could not risk falling into her clutches again. It would be to expose himself again to be deceived, betrayed, therefore he had to get away from her and take control of his life again.

Escape of Christopher, to the Island of Santa Lucia

The next day, at eleven o’clock in the morning, Christopher, in his private plane, landed at George F. L. Charles Airport on the island of St. Lucia, in the eastern Caribbean Sea. He needed to put some distance between himself and the desires awakened in his entire being by Amber.

It was Friday and knowing the tradition of the island, having been there on several occasions, he joined the group that dances, drinks rum punch and ice cold beer on that day.

In addition, the next day, as they celebrate the main party, the Grost Islet Jum Up, a street party in the small town of Grost Islet, which features Caribbean music, beer drinking and freshly grilled lobster, he joined in the celebration as well.

After these festivities, on Sunday, he strolled through the National Park in the northern part of St. Lucia. He opted to hike alone to explore the area, including climbing to the top of Fort Rodney.

On this island, Christopher spent a week of rest, during which time he reviewed, analyzed and meditated on some aspects of his life and what he needed to do. For the time being, he needed to get away from Amber and avoid any encounter, so as not to fall again, before her.

When he returned to Santiago de Leon, determined to live his life freely, he was received at the airport by his father’s driver, who took him to his father’s mansion. He will stay there for a few days while he finishes the modifications he is making to his penthouse.

His sister Daniela and his brother-in-law Thiago, were amazed to see him, since they had not seen him for about three months. They greeted him and chatted with him.

-Brother, it’s good to see you! -Daniela commented happily.

-The same for my little sister! -he replied with a smile, hugging her and showing off an extraordinary tan.

-I envy your tan! Christopher,” affirmed his brother-in-law Thiago, “we are precisely doing these twenty-four hour watches, days in a row, to escape to some island, which will give us that same tan,” he explained and smiled.

-By the way! I’m coming from St. Lucia, by plane, it’s only a two-hour flight. I recommend it,” he assured.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Besides, at the Sandals Grand St. resort, we have a resort of our own. So it’s just a matter of us agreeing, let me know and I’ll prepare everything for you to enjoy a weekend or more, whatever you want.

-Perfect! Christopher, now that we finish this watch, I will plan that trip with Daniela and your parents could also go with us,” added his brother-in-law.

-I think it’s excellent! -replied Christopher, smiling and looking calmer and more relaxed than the previous times.

-Well, brother, we are leaving! -His sister said goodbye and came closer to give him a kiss and a hug.

See you later, brother-in-law! See you,” said Thiago.

They left for their workplace, while Christopher went up to his room with his suitcase. Upon entering, he unpacked and went out to look for his parents, to inform them that he would be staying for about fifteen days. Knocking then, in their room.

Knock, knock!

-Come in! -answered her father, thinking it was his daughter Amber.

-Good morning, dad! Good morning, mom! -greeted Christopher, approaching them both, hugging and kissing them affectionately.

-Son, it’s so good to see you! -His mother commented excitedly, “You had abandoned me, I haven’t been here for so long!

-Forgive me! But, Dad can confirm, we’ve had a lot of problems at the Construction Company,” he said, which was affirmed by his father with a nod of his head back and forth.

-That’s right! What’s more, we haven’t been able to solve them yet. We are constantly worried that at any moment the workers will suspend their activities and with this, the works will be delayed even more,” clarified his father.

-But don’t worry, Dad! As I understand it, they are hiring an apprentice and recently graduated lawyer to advise them, which gives us an advantage over them.

-In any case, I’m so glad you came! -His mother interrupted, “Are you staying for breakfast with us?

-And for lunch, dinner, breakfast, for several days, because I am remodeling the penthouse and I don’t want to be in another apartment, I prefer my room here,” he said, looking at them pleadingly.

-Son! This is also your home and it always will be. Here we always wait for you to eat, and if not, let your mother say so,” his father said with a smile, teasing his wife with affection.

-Always, my love! You know you are my greatest treasure,” confirmed his mother.

-As for the apprentice, don’t underestimate him, Christopher,” his father assured him, “there are young professionals, recent graduates who are very good.

Smiling, he walked with his parents to the dining area to have breakfast with them. Afterwards, he talked about his new plans, in the area of tourism, especially in Santa Lucia, where he wanted to expand his activities.

He then left for his office where Michelle was waiting for him. As soon as he entered the Tower, the watchman informed her of his arrival, so she hurried to his office to wait for him. When Christopher saw her, he asked her:

-What are you doing here? -with an icy voice of rejection…
