THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Christopher was then separated from Amber by his godparents’ daughters. They took possession of each side of him, and they were in all the pictures of the celebration. The three daughters of the Procurador accompanied him and toasted with him for his resounding success in this new line of service.

-Thank you all! -I appreciate your presence, without which this event would not have been possible.

“I feel really happy and blessed. Apart from having all my loved ones here by my side,” he mentioned, making a visual tour of his parents, godparents and Amber, who returned him a withering look.

-CHEERS! -They all shouted in chorus, pronouncing their best wishes.

-Cheers! -He replied, “Thank you!

-My staff will be here, at your service! -he added, then, showing with his wide smile how happy and satisfied he was.

This was a new achievement for Christopher, even though this branch was not initially in his plans. Despite being a last minute decision, to be closer to Amber, he felt satisfied.

He, raising the glass of champagne to his lips, looked affectionately and mischievously at Amber, trying to decipher what she was feeling. She seemed to be, jealous? Amber, for her part, turned her gaze to Dylan, resting one of her hands on his arm.

Before this action, Christopher felt depressed with a lot of guilt, because it was him who gave rise to all this, falling into Michelle’s dirty traps. He deserved it for playing her game and letting himself be led by her, like a real puppet.

However, he felt angry and furious with her, because of her closeness with Lugo, who in his opinion was not as trustworthy as Michelle. Between the two of them, they were involved in a dirty trick to separate them, he is not sure of this, but he will find out the truth.

After this, he sought to approach her, to complain to her personally, but someone always called him or took him by the arm to lead him to another group. Apparently, in this meeting, there were many people interested in keeping them away, among them, the daughters of his godparents.

At the end of the event, the Attorney, his wife and daughters invited Christopher, his parents and some guests, among them Amber, to continue the celebration at the discotheque inside the hotel where they were staying. He accepted immediately.

The Prosecutor, at various times had approached Amber, to talk to her, because she had caught his attention. When asked if she had seen him before, she answered yes, when she was Christopher’s girlfriend and they had seen each other in some social events.

After this, he shifted his gaze to her, briefly recalling the reviews of her case. Now, she was a prestigious lawyer in full practice, respected by many and who also had the support of many powerful people.

Christopher, despite being attentive, personal, smiling and very cordial to his guests, did not lose sight of her. He observed that some of his guests approached her, especially interested in her extraordinary physique, to meet her, greet her and place themselves at her command.

However, when he noticed that Amber walked towards the restroom area, he went after her, very discreetly and without anyone observing him. Even though it was the ladies’ restroom area, he lightened his pace and entered behind her, closing the door.

She was surprised that someone had entered and closed the door and turned around, realizing that it was him. She was very rebellious and immediately opposed his action, threatening to shout for all her guests to hear.

-Do what you want! -he challenged, approaching her and wrapping his arms around her, from which she easily detached herself by applying a karate defense key, displaying her skills in this art.

-Where and when did you learn that?” he grunted, pained by her attack, close to his weakest area.

-In jail, place where you confined me and made my residence mandatory for two years, remember? -she asked, looking at him with rage and hate at the same time- -I didn’t only learn to shout rudeness and obscenities as you reproached me, once.

-I’m sorry, Amber! I know you are doubting me, more so because of what happened in court a few days ago and where your friend showed that the witnesses presented by Michelle, who was in charge of your whole process, testified falsely -he affirmed.

-Coincidence! Now she did it all, not that I am defending her, since she has a big account pending with me, especially to clarify if it was you who ordered them to hit me,” she reaffirmed, confidently and with disdain.

-I swear to you! That I had nothing to do with the beating, nor with the testimonies of those young men, whom I didn’t know,” he assured, taking out a device from the inside pocket of his coat.

Here, on this flash drive, you will find the video of when I met with them the first and only time in the meeting room,” taking her by the hand and putting the USB device in it.

-Why are you giving it to me now? If I can’t do anything to clear my name, there will always be the question of who will speak for them in court? -she asked, disappointed.

-But, I read days ago that they were arrested and that your case will be reopened,” he said, looking deeply into her eyes.

-What for? If they are already dead,” she questioned, sharpening her eyes, hoping to see in him some reaction that would give him away. But it wasn’t like that, but quite the opposite.

-What do you mean, dead?” he asked with his eyes wide open, enormously and totally astonished at this news.

-Don’t tell me, you didn’t know? Why is it, I don’t believe you? Suddenly, just as you gave the order for me to be beaten, you gave the order for them to be killed, simulating a riot. How convenient? Only that your little friend lost her job,” she smiled sarcastically.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

-What Glenys lost her job?” he questioned in astonishment.

-I see what hurt you the most about the news I gave you!” she said, watching him as he put one of his hands on his head, rubbing his hair hard…
