THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

In Santiago de Leon

Angie’s sisters, like her mother, walked over to where she parked the Ferrari. Apparently, the three of them were very amazed at how she looked, at the extraordinary change she seemed to have made in her life, and she even had a new look.

-Gee, sis! If I see you on the street, suddenly I don’t even know you, you’re unrecognizable. You never dressed well, you always looked like the fringe of the family,” said Rocio.

-Don’t exaggerate! That I liked to dress in my jeans and sneakers was something else,” she interrupted defensively, walking towards the entrance of the mall.

“The thing is, Joshua must attend many events and I must always be ready to accompany him. Obviously, I’m not going in my jeans and sneakers,” she replied.

-You look great, daughter,” her mother greeted, coming up to kiss her on the cheek.

-And I am!” she exclaimed, laughing, “Joshua is… really extraordinary! -she sighed, smiling broadly.

-I agree with what our mother says,” said Luz, “you look great and I’m happy for you, that Joshua is like that.

“Thank goodness, that you discovered it first! Because if Rocio sees it, she’ll ruin it all at once,” added Luz, laughing as she looked at her sister, who was making a very ugly gesture, twisting her mouth to the left side.

-Yes, this is what you made me come for, I would have preferred to stay! -I’m not willing to tolerate you rubbing me in the face, “your extraordinary boyfriend”,” replied Rocio, who was gnawing with envy for the good things that were happening to her sister.

-Well, girls, now! We’re here to have some fun, not to fight,” reproached their mother, going up the escalator.

-What movies do you want to see?” asked Angie, smiling.

-Today there is a premiere, let’s see how it is, because the rest of the ones they are promoting, I have already seen them,” answered Luz.

-Perfect! -said Angie, approaching the box office to buy the tickets, which also perplexed Rocio, as she swiped the black card.

-I can’t believe it! Did he give you a black card for your exclusive use or did you borrow his? -Rocio questioned, ogling her sister’s card. Her look was incredulous and astonished.

-It’s mine! It has my name on it. It was a gift he was going to give me, before what happened,” assured Angie, without any presumption and answering a WhatsApp message sent by Joshua.

-Wow, I mean! The little dead fly of the family won a lottery prize and for the record, you’re not the prettiest of the three,” Rocio remarked, with a strong sense of frustration and envy.

-I didn’t look for him! He came to me,” affirmed Angie, receiving the tickets and walking towards the food sale, where she bought drinks, popcorn, coffee, frappe, chocolates, among others.

Then, they all entered the movie theater and concentrated on the movie, except for Rocio, who was chatting with someone. She was smiling and was not very interested in the movie. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was concentrating on the plot of the movie for a moment, she left the theater.

When the movie was over, as they were leaving, they realized that Rocio was not in the movie theater, her mother, grumpy and angry, dialed her cell phone, but she did not answer. Angie, remembering the instructions Joshua had given her, asked her.

-Mommy, do you know a gynecologist who is also an obstetrician? It is to undergo treatment, Joshua wants to take me as soon as possible, because, apparently I have to go on a trip with him,” she said.

Her mother, thrilled by the radical change that the second of her daughters was showing, thanks to her partner, helped her with this.

-Yes my love, of course I know one and she is very good, the daughter of your godparents, so I will call her first, talk to her, make the appointment and I would like to go with you, even if it is only for the first consultation.

-Thank you, mommy!” she said with a huge smile that made her face even more youthful.

-Take care of yourself! Please and thank you for this invitation. I enjoyed the movie as much as the drinks and food,” commented her mother smiling with her.

-Thank you, Angie,” said Luz, who added, “I am very happy that you are doing well.

-Thank you, sister! I say goodbye because Joshua should be arriving at the Penthouse and I don’t want him to arrive before me. We’ll be in touch and if you have anything to do with Rocio, let me know,” she replied, leaving quickly towards the parking lot.

Angie walked to the parking lot, towards where the Ferrari was parked, when she was intercepted by three young men, who looked bad, she tried to turn back, but they surrounded her and one of them pulled her bag, leaving at full speed.

Just as she was arriving, Joshua started running after them with his car until he cornered them against one of the fences of the mall, where they were held up by the security personnel, who had noticed the situation through the cameras.

Joshua got out of his car at full speed and hit the person holding Angie’s purse. He punched him in the face, while the security personnel held the other two and let him hit him.

Only when they saw the young man pass out, they took it out of his hands. Joshua ran to where she was and asked her:

-My love! How are you? How are you feeling? Did they do something to you? -He was all worried, hugging her tightly and trying to wipe away the tears that were running down her cheeks.

-Nnn no!” -a prolonged silence and sobs- “They only took my bag,” she answered, hugging him. At that moment, her mother and sister Luz arrived, who were astonished to see Angie in that state.

-What happened, Angie? Why are you like this? -asked her mother nervously.

-They took her purse, three thugs who were in the parking lot,” answered Joshua, calmer and without letting go of Angie. He immediately took out his cell phone and made a call and ordered someone to come to the mall.

They stood there, talking while she, a little calmer, but without letting go of Joshua, narrated what had happened since she left the mall. Then, she explained his behavior, seeing that she had been mugged, crying again.

-We don’t know what damage this scare may cause to the baby,” he said, pressing her again to his body.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

-I feel better now, Joshua. Don’t worry, I’m just scared,” she said weakly.

-Yes, but let’s wait. Ah, now! My assistant is coming, he will take the Ferrari, so you don’t have to drive -looking at his mother-in-law, he said- He took her to the Penthouse, although I’d better take her to the clinic and that way I’ll be calmer.

-It is preferable, so that they give her something, remember that she cannot drink any medicine, because of her pregnancy and it is the first thing you should always warn -his mother-in-law emphasized.

“I’ll call you in an hour, I’m going to run an errand, because Rocio took advantage of the fact that we were concentrating on the movie, to run away, who knows where.

-Okay,” he agreed, leaving with Angie for the nearest clinic. When he explained that she was pregnant, but that they had not yet attended any consultation, the doctor who attended them ordered an ultrasound, where they confirmed that she was six weeks pregnant.

When she felt better, she was discharged and they both went directly to the Penthouse, with a medical order not to have sex until the specialist examined her and ensured that there was no problem with the fetus.

Once in her room, he calmed down and helped her change, put her to bed and let her sleep peacefully. In the meantime, he went into the bathroom to take a long, long bath with very cold water, as he was ready to make love to her, because of her request.
