THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Being four o’clock in the afternoon, time set by Christopher, to start the opening ceremony of a new branch of his travel agency in Islander, with a partly cloudy weather and a temperature of 11 C, anxiously awaited the arrival of Amber.

Christopher, who was at the entrance of his business, standing next to his new secretary and Elian, was astonished to see Amber arrive. First, he was dazzled by her great beauty and second, by her boldness to come on Dylan Lugo’s arm, uninvited.

When she saw him, she admired his elegance, his good looks and above all how handsome he looked, although to be honest, Dylan also looked extraordinarily good. Any woman would be attracted to him, because he was handsome and had beautiful blue eyes, which matched his suit.

Nevertheless, and in spite of everything that has happened between her and Christopher, there is something that does not allow her to hate him, to detest him or to move away from him definitively. It is as if something in him, dominated him, bent his willpower and determination to retaliate, all the damage he caused her.

Many of the women invited there admired his demeanor, physique, status and especially his status as a billionaire. This is the reason why he has appeared several times in F magazine, in the list of the richest men in the world, being the number one in Santiago de Leon.

With this new branch, Christopher sought to level his capital and overcome the losses that the strong economic and financial crisis of the construction company generated. All due to the suspension of activities for forty-five days.

So far, he has surpassed by far the Lugo and Fontain families, who follow him in that order, although lately they have been united by strong strategic alliances, separating him from this group.

Christopher greeted kindly and cordially those who had entered first. He approached the entrance to welcome her, obviously ignoring his companion.

-Good afternoon! And welcome, you look beautiful,” he said, politely kissing her on the cheek and giving Lugo a withering look.

-Good afternoon! I hope you don’t have any problems for having brought a companion,” she said, giving him her hand as she greeted him, which he did not let go immediately, but held it tightly, caressing it very softly.

-Not at all! You are free to do whatever you want,” corroborating with his consent what she had decided.

-Don’t fall into provocations, remember that scandals do not suit you in this act, be tolerant! Please,” he requested, smiling and polite.

-Quiet! I am aware that it does not suit me,” assured this proud and proud man, speaking between his teeth, with a sardonic laugh.

At that moment, the priest who officiated the inauguration and blessing of the offices arrived, together with his family and his godfather, with their respective daughters, who attracted the attention of all those gathered there, for their exceptional beauty, bodies and elegance.

Upon entering, the Attorney General of Santiago de Leon, journalists and photographers, as well as representatives of the media and social networks, immediately approached him to interview him.

Elian Pocaterra was the sensation of the afternoon, together with his daughters. The same happened with Christopher’s parents, who were also well known in the country, especially for their links with the different governments of the country.

-Are you as an official endorsing this new venture of the young businessman Christopher Morillo Wood,” asked one of the journalists respectfully.

-No, I am here as a guest, because I am Christopher’s godfather and my wife, his godmother,” he answered proudly.

-It is the first time that you go out to a public act with your daughters. Any special reason? Or a project in sight with some of his daughters? -interrogated another journalist, maliciously.

-I don’t know what you mean when you refer to a “project in sight with my daughters”. First, I am not in a public act, this is private, and second, my daughters are free to choose their friendships or their love relationships,” he assured.

They have full capacity to choose what suits them,” he commented in a distant and cold voice.

-Don’t get angry, Attorney! -It’s just that two weeks ago, we saw him leaving on a trip with the young businessman and his daughters, in his personal plane,” he added, being this heard by Amber, awakening in her the little worm of jealousy.

-Yes, that’s true,” answered the Attorney, “However, Christopher returned almost immediately, because he only went on business trips. While we went on vacation,” he clarified, feeling uncomfortable with the journalists’ insistence with this type of questions.

-Well, it is not easy to see his daughters in public, and now we see them here again with Christopher. If you turn around you will see how the three of them surround your godson, you are not afraid that he will change that bond, for that of son-in-law -he insisted.

-Not at all! I think that for any father, it would be a pride to relate any of his daughters to Christopher Morillo,” he assured with a smile, showing his pride for his godson.

“I repeat, this is not my style, nor am I going to force it, if it’s good and if not, also. Now excuse me, they are calling me,” he exclaimed, smiling, staring at Amber because she caught his attention.

-Godfather, come, godmother, daddy, mommy! Please cut the inaugural ribbon,” Christopher asked, proud and boastful, as many were unaware of his power ties.

He had initially thought of leaving this symbolic act in Amber’s hands, but since she arrived accompanied by Dylan and he did not know what her intentions were, he gave up.

After the ribbon cutting and blessing of the premises, Christopher made a toast. In any case, he tried to stand next to Amber. Meanwhile, she remained by Dylan’s side, which triggered his jealousy once again.

On the other hand, the latter kept a mocking chuckle, since he arrived at the event, being observed by Amber as well as by Christopher and his assistant, who were very attentive to all this…
