THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Christopher, lost in his thoughts, remembered that he has been doubting Dylan Lugo for a long time. Specifically, regarding his involvement in the events, which occurred at the Rosal hotel, the day he found him in the suite with Amber.

By virtue of this, he will hire a detective to follow up with Lugo in order to find out about his participation in those events. For some time now, this idea has been going around in his head. So far, he has come out of it unscathed, despite being involved in the affair.

“On the one hand, it was this one who claimed that the two witnesses worked at his company” thought Christopher, straining his memories.

“For another, why when I entered the room, that day, was I naked from the waist up?” he pondered, remembering that he was surely acting, as he gave the impression of having made love. This was something he could not forget.

Faced with this series of thoughts and questioning, Christopher, fully supported Amber. He would not let her travel anywhere alone. He would rather pay whatever that asshole asked for as compensation, than let her travel to that region again, unless it was with him.

-Can Lugo be counter-sued?” he asked.

“Amber can allege forced non-compliance, for the constant violation of her privacy. He would enter the apartment he had assigned to her whenever he wanted, because he had the keys to it,” he explained.

“In addition, he kidnapped Sabrina to force her to be with him, which was not reported because her mother was afraid that he would threaten to harm us.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I offer as testimonial for the same, all my personnel who acted there -he concluded.

-My love, is it worth it? -Because for the first assumption, he will allege that he had an engagement with me and as for the second one, we did not make an official report of the kidnapping.

-True, my love, we didn’t file a report, because of your mother’s fear. But Elian mobilized the state security forces to look for her. Doesn’t that count? -he asked defiantly.

-Right!” answered Amber.

-Amber, put him out of jail, but it’s a scratch for his record, which so far has been clean, being a white-collar criminal, well hidden,” expressed Nairobi, with a smile.

-Do you agree? Remember that you are the ones who will be confronted. Although obviously, I will be here following up and investigating for our evidence,” she clarified, looking at Christopher and holding on to his hands.

-I agree,” Nairobi replied, looking at Mildred, who was smiling.

-Me too, I think I’ll choose my office here, because after this, our dear bosses won’t want us in the office,” Mildred said, laughing loudly.

-I hadn’t thought of that! That Lugo is a shareholder of the Firm,” reminded Amber.

-You are right, Mildred, and I don’t want you to get hurt. My love, I have enough money to pay the compensation that Lugo is asking for,” he answered.

-Just a moment, Christopher! -What he is asking for is not fair, for an alleged breach.

-Christopher, come on! I choose against suing him, to set a precedent and I will stay here, with the jewel of the famous law firm, if you accept me,” said Nairobi.

-No, I proposed that you come with me, because let’s be clear, you are in one of the most solid and famous law firms in the country.

“While I’m just getting started,” Amber said, looking deeply at them.

-I’m choosing to stay with you too, Amber,” Mildred said, looking at Mildred squarely and confidently.

-Then, there are no problems for me, but I suggest you something, do not resign from the firm, until it is of extreme necessity -she requested- Remember that in Santiago you are not obliged to inhibit yourself from the case, because he is a shareholder of your firm.

-Right,” exclaimed both of them, smiling and shaking hands.

Finished this point, the four began to work on the testimonies that they would present, including Amber’s mother, Elian and all the team hired by Christopher as the ones in charge of the operation.

They finished late this meeting, leaving there irectly each one for his house. Christopher, from there, had given instructions to his assistant about the events to come. Finally, Mildred and Nairobi were incorporated to the reception team of the inauguration party.

When they arrived at the mansion, Amber, escorted by Christopher, waited for him to get out of his car, to walk into the house, hugging him, as was her custom. Sabrina was waiting for them, to serve some new dishes she had made advised by the chef.

Christopher and Amber, forgetting her discomfort, went to the dining room. As soon as she smelled the food, she ran to the guest bathroom and unloaded what little she had eaten. Her mother, frightened, ran after them and became worried.

-What’s the matter, daughter? asked Sabrina in a disturbed state.

-She feels sick to her stomach! -My love, let me take you to our bedroom! -he said, lifting her in his arms.

-Yes,” she answered, resting her head on his chest.

Christopher, upon entering the bedroom followed by Sabrina, led her to her bathroom, where he undressed her and put her in the shower, to remove the smell of vomit. After drying her, he asked her to open her mouth and brushed her teeth to calm the bad taste. Finally, he laid her down on the bed, like a child.

On one occasion, she confessed to him that one of the things she hated most was vomiting, because it made her feel very vulnerable. Above all, the bad smell in her body and in her mouth; that is why he, upon remembering this, the first thing he did was to clean her up.

Afterwards, Christopher called his brother-in-law to examine Amber. He asked him to bring a pregnancy test with him if he had one, because his wife was feeling very bad and had certain symptoms of pregnancy.

He, who was at the Clinic, replied that he would be there in twenty minutes, to hydrate her. When Christopher hung up the call, he asked Sabrina to bring him a cold natural juice and some soda crackers.

Amber gradually relaxed. As her mother left the room, she asked Christopher, “Did you consult with Daniela?

-Did you consult Daniela?” she asked, looking into her husband’s eyes and letting some tears flow, which broke his heart…
