THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

When Elian hung up the call, he was fully dedicated to convince Genesis to keep the position. He justified this by referring to the contract she had already signed and the administrative costs involved for them to hire someone and make a new promotion.

Genesis had no choice but to accept and stay in the position, besides the salary was extraordinary along with the other benefits.

“Later, I will see how to avoid or circumvent the risks and difficulties of working for Christopher,” she thought, reflecting on what she had to live with Amber.

Meanwhile, in Islander

Amber was at the airport with Dylan, waiting for her mom, who was really surprised by her early arrival, as he had planned to spend more time with her.

This sudden arrival put a damper on his plans to keep her company, enjoy dinners and chat with her alone. When her mother got off the plane, she was walking with difficulty, which is why Amber ran to meet her.

-Mommy, what happened? Why are you walking like that? -she asked, hugging her mother.

-I’m a little dizzy, I think I got hit by the flight, the altitude, I don’t know, I was perfectly fine when I got on the plane,” she added, happy to meet her daughter again.

-God willing, that’s all it is! -Amber begged, very worried, especially because of what she experienced three years ago.

-Yes, my love, it will be,” Sabrina added with a smile.

As they left the disembarkation area, they watched Dylan, who was chatting nicely with the official who authorized Amber to enter the area to look for her mother. Afterwards, Sabrina greeted him very cordially.

Although he approached her very warmly, there was something about him that did not convince her of his good intentions for Amber. Because of this, Sabrina did not show any effusiveness. Then, they picked up the suitcase and left on their way to the apartment.

Before leaving them alone in the building, Dylan offered to take them out to dinner that night to celebrate Sabrina’s arrival, which Amber thanked him for, as she was not yet familiar with the place. After this, he said goodbye to leave them alone.

-Mother, tell me, how did you find the trip? It’s your first flight in an airplane,” Amber commented with a smile, observing a better look on her face than when she got off the plane.

-It’s great, because you don’t have the hustle and bustle of traveling by road. I was very scared at first, but one of the stewardesses, I guess seeing how nervous I was, offered me some tea and helped me with my seat belt.

-That’s good, I’m glad! The Divine mercy of Jesus, never forsakes you, will always send people to give you a hand,” she assured me, hugging me very effusively, “Because you deserve it.

-Thank you, Amber! And you, how are you?” she asked intrigued, looking at her with uncertainty, seeing Dylan more familiar with her than ever before.

-Honestly, it hasn’t been a sweet stay here. I was confronted on the first day by a couple of colleagues, who didn’t like it, that I was put above them,” she confessed, suspecting the reasons for this, “Otherwise, everything else very good.

-Good for you, daughter! Suddenly you needed this change,” assured her mother, “I’m very intrigued by Christopher’s visit to the apartment. Besides, it worries me, because I don’t know what his intentions are?

-What was the reason he gave you, to visit you? -asked Amber, but looking away, walking towards the kitchen.

-Supposedly, to talk to me,” answered her mother, “Because he already knew that you had gone on a trip, he just doesn’t know where.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“He asked me if you had gone with a client, if you were going back to Santiago, and in short, he just wanted to ask me to get information about you.

-What does he care about that? -asked Amber, angrily.

-He also told me “that he still loved you”. I made him see what his love was and listed some of the situations, in which he hurt you. And he even insisted that you stole information for Dylan and that’s why you were convicted.

-Imbecile that one, I think his IQ, is far below normal standards -she angrily refuted, thinking about the videos from the hotel where the trap to separate them is evidenced, and for sure they did the same to implicate her in the crime.

“If he already observed in a video that they set up a trap to separate him from me, the most logical thing is that the same person who did that, created all the evidence, so that they would frame me and take me out of the game,” she commented aloud to her mother.

-You’re right about that, daughter! But, I suppose it’s too much to ask him to make that logical reflection of the situation,” her mother expounded, looking at her with infinite tenderness.

“In any case, I’m not interested in anything that comes from him. Let’s leave this conversation until here and come and rest,” smiled Amber, as she took her by the hand and led her to the room she would occupy.

-Daughter, how long will we be here? -Sabrina asked uneasily, “I’m worried about leaving the apartment alone.

-Heh, heh, heh! Don’t worry, mother, it’s under control. The condominium’s board of directors will take care of it, I will pay the additional fee, which involves this service -she answered, smiling again.

-And me, what am I going to do here? -she asked.

-Rest, walk, stroll, get to know, distract you, nothing else,” answered Amber, hugging and pampering her, “You already worked hard for me, now it’s my turn to make you happy and enjoy everything you deserve.

-But I need to do something,” she exclaimed, astonished, “I won’t get bored.

-From tomorrow we will start a routine, a block away from the building there is a park with areas available for walking and exercising, we will go there every morning early in the morning or in the afternoon when the sun goes down, you decide?

-In the afternoon, so I don’t have to get up so early,” she answered smiling and looking at her daughter with love.

-But we’ll never go alone, because we don’t know the people or the area well. We mustn’t risk it,” Amber assured.

-As you say! -she exclaimed again, happy to be by her daughter’s side…
