THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Christopher, after two hours went back up to the room, finding Amber, hugging the pillow as if it were him. He gave her a kiss and she moved grabbing him, talking to him but without opening her eyes.

-Open me, my life! I need you,” she begged, pouting in a way that melted Christopher and he lay down at once beside her, hugging her, so that she would continue sleeping.

-Yes, my love, I’m here! And I’ll always be with you,” he said, kissing her lips softly.

-I, I know!” she answered, moving towards him, climbing over his body, thus immobilizing him, “Don’t leave me alone,” she begged.

-Yes, my love, I’m staying here with you so you can rest. How do you feel? Is your headache relieved?” he asked, passing his arms over her, running his two hands over her back.

-Yes, I’m just too sleepy,” she answered in a voice audible only to his ear, it was like a whisper.

-Sleep, my love! I’ll watch over your sleep,” Christopher ratified, affectionate and cautious.

-Thank you, my heart!” she murmured, falling asleep. Christopher waited a prudent time, put the pillow back and went downstairs again.

When he came in, he smiled when he saw the amount raised and the happy faces of his mother and the two directors who ran the foundation with her. However, this smile was wiped off her face when she blocked the entrance to Rocio herself, who had been drinking too much.

-Where were you?” she asked, showing signs of her drunkenness. “I looked for you on the floor and I couldn’t find you,” she asked with her eyebrows furrowed, blocking her way to the event.

-Rocio, aren’t you ashamed of the state you’re in? -You are embarrassing my godparents, remember that everyone here knows you and knows that you are the daughter of the Attorney General of Santiago de Leon.

“How long are you humiliating him? -he asked, taking her out of his sight.

-I love you and the only thing I want is for you to make me yours,” she confessed, in a loud voice heard by the people seated at the tables near the entrance.

-I’m sorry, Rocio! I’m married, I love my wife with all my heart and the last thing I want is to betray her,” he answered, walking towards his mother, who, noticing his mother’s harassment, called him over the microphone.

-Christopher, my love, please come! I want to close this event with you and Joshua. You have been key contributors to this outcome. He, smiling again, went upstairs where his mother was, and congratulated her on the success of the auction.

After this, the last contracted musical group was presented. This one, managed to raise all the attendees of the marathon from their seats, who joined the dance rhythm of the Caribbean group, the most popular in Santiago de Leon.

Now, the relevant note of this dance was the active, energetic and masterful participation of Christopher’s parents. They were very happy and satisfied with the support received by their friends, acquaintances and relatives.

So that night was a resounding success for Christopher’s mother. She was the promoter and sponsor of the fundraising event. All the attendees, left speaking wonders of the event and pleased with the results obtained.

Before going up to the suite, Christopher spoke with Joshua about his sponsors’ daughters, especially Rocio. He let him know that even the two younger girls seem to be embarrassed by their older sister’s performance, only that she is their godfather’s favorite.

Joshua thanked him for the information, because he was really interested in having something formal with Angie, he felt very attracted to her.

-Thank you, brother! Because I feel she moved my floor,” he confessed to Christopher.

-Great! However, you know, before you give your heart away, do your research, find out if she’s worth it first,” he advised.

-Okay,” Joshua said, bidding farewell to Christopher and his parents.

Once Christopher went up with his parents to the presidential suite, he invited them to stay because it had two double rooms, very comfortable to prevent them from taking the road at that hour. Which they accepted, because they were really tired, besides they had hardly eaten.

Christopher called and ordered a meal service for the four of them, which did not take long and arrived in about fifteen minutes. While they were waiting, he went into the main room where Amber was lying, undressed her and made her sleep more comfortable.

-How’s Amber doing?” asked her dad, his voice a little muffled and slurred.

-I imagine she’s better, because she’s fully asleep, at the beginning her face looked very tired, haggard, now it’s more relaxed,” he assured her, with a slight smile.

-I’m glad,” commented his father, getting up to open the door of the room and giving way to the waiter who brought the service that Christopher requested.

-Is your chauffeur downstairs?” asked Christopher suddenly, worried about the staff.

-No, we told him to leave and that we would call him when he was finished,” answered Maddie, savoring the delicious salad her son had sent her to prepare, just like her father.

-That’s good! It was better,” said Christopher, rubbing his eyes, since he really felt very tired.

At that, Christopher heard Amber’s heart-rending scream and ran to the room worried. Behind him were his parents. He went in, turned on the light and got Amber, asleep throwing thumps on the bed, as if defending herself from someone.

She was also all sweaty, apparently having a nightmare. He approached her softly, kissed her lips and called her to wake her up, dodging her blows.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

-What’s wrong son?” asked Maddie, looking at her in her underwear and squinting at the door so her husband wouldn’t see him, since he would embarrass Amber with him later.

-I think she’s having a nightmare, it’s the first time this has happened to her,” he confessed worriedly, “My love, wake up, here I am, it’s me, your Christopher. When he pronounced this, she woke up and clung to him, hugging him tightly and letting out a cry…
