THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN A DRINKER…



Once Don Ozzi Morillo, took Christopher up to his room and laid him down on his bed, he went to his room, where his wife, Maddie Wood, was waiting for him, who upon seeing him enter, asked him….

-Who was at the door at this hour?” she questioned, for they rang the bell very insistently.

-I didn’t want to tell you anything, so as not to torment you. It was a cab driver who brought Christopher totally drunk and asleep.

-How is it possible,” she murmured, “My son has always had dominion and control over liquor. I can’t believe that, something happened to him,” she commented, getting out of bed and running to Christopher’s room.

-Maddie, Maddie! Come here! Leave him alone, I put him to bed, don’t wake him up, you’ll talk to him tomorrow,” begged Christopher’s father, stopping her just outside his bedroom door.

“You know, if he wants you to know what happened to him, he’ll tell you. If not forget it, he won’t tell you anything. Please! Don’t wake him up,” Ozzi begged, leaning against the door of his son’s room so he wouldn’t wake him up.

-You don’t understand! -We don’t know if something happened to him, if he ate or not, what happened to his car, why he came in a cab,” his mother asked, very worried about her son.

-I don’t know anything. Whatever he tells you is a lie, I only know that a bartender friend of his sent him,” she clarified, trying to console her. “Please, when he wakes up, don’t harass him with questions, let him explain what happened to him. His car is in a secure shopping mall.

-But we have the right to know what happened to him,” said Maddie, anguished, trying not to cry.

-Don’t you dare talk about this. It is an intimate problem of our son, he has always been an independent person who emancipated himself from us since he was very young,” he begged, looking at her with affection.

-I want you to understand me Ozzi, my son has never been in such a state that liquor dominates him, he is not used to drink like this,” she clarified, about to shed tears of anguish for him.

She felt that this was due to something related to Amber, he had told her some things, among them that he would take her to dinner to the same place where he took her when they were sweethearts, but afterwards, he did not come back to the house, until now.

-He knows what he’s doing! Look at how far his responsibility goes, that he organized everything before drinking. Because, according to what the cab driver told me, the security of the shopping mall where the bar is located is guarding his vehicle.

-In any case, I feel that something happened to my son,” she said insistently.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

-I do too, but waking him up won’t do any good. So let’s let him rest, let him recover and then we’ll talk to him later,” his father assured.

-Okay! Whatever you say. But I’ll try to find out tomorrow morning,” she commented, looking at her husband with doubts and uncertainty.

Christopher’s father, hugging his wife, led her to their matrimonial bedroom, so that she could calm down and go to sleep.

-Tomorrow will be another day! And our son will give us the corresponding explanations. Upon entering his room, he commented….

-Knowing my son, he does not lose his senses, nor does he expose his reputation for any cause. I am sure that something very strong struck him violently,” she said, letting tears flow down her face.

Clinging to her husband’s arms, she rested her head on his chest, still muscular despite the years.

-I must calm down! Let’s wait until tomorrow, let him tell us! -She reflected, remembering that her son tells her anything that happens to him, good or bad.

-Yes, let’s wait! Let’s see if he stays here in the house or if he goes back to his Penthouse,” said his father.

-I trust in God, who will give him the wisdom he needs to make wise decisions,” added his mother sadly.

-Amen and so be it. See you tomorrow,” Ozzi said goodbye.

-See you tomorrow,” they kissed each other goodbye, and he turned off the light of the lamp that illuminated the bedroom.

The following day

In the Morillo Wood family home, Thiago and his wife Daniela Morillo woke up at 5:30 in the morning. Despite having domestic help, they prepared their own breakfast, since they are on duty at the Clinical Hospital of the Region.

The two were astonished to see Christopher in such a bad condition, whom they had not seen for several days, because he had left the house, back to his Penthouse. They, worried about him, approached him and asked him….

-But as they approached, they smelled the strong odor of liquor and understood exactly what was happening to him. His sister immediately looked for something in her briefcase and gave him a couple of painkillers for the hangover and the headache.

-My head hurts a lot, it’s exploding and I’ve turned my whole stomach in the bathroom,” he said in a very bad mood, after receiving the painkillers from his sister.

-With that you will feel better,” his sister assured him, “Something must have happened to you to be like this, you have never been a drinker!

“Please, little brother, take care of yourself! Don’t let extreme situations make you fall into behaviors that aren’t like you,” his sister recommended, astonished to see him in that state.

-I know, sis! But don’t worry, I can perfectly dominate and control my emotions. Nevertheless, I needed this escape, to drain the situation. I promise you that you will never see me like this again,” he said, raising his hand in an oath.

-I hope so, Christopher,” she said, kissing him on the forehead and finishing preparing breakfast. His sister prepared food that helped him to raise his potassium levels.

-This will help restore your potassium and blood sugar levels to a proper level, and even improve some of the symptoms of that hangover you have.

Once this was done, the three of them sat down to breakfast and Christopher began to feel better, especially that the headache began to diminish. He expressed his gratitude to her:

-Thank you Daniela, you don’t know how much I was missing, both the painkiller and the breakfast, because I don’t think I had eaten anything since yesterday at noon -he assured.

-At your orders, but please take care of yourself, I imagine our parents must be very sad to see you arrive like this,” she declared with great sadness, thinking about her parents’ concern.

-Yes, I imagine so,” he affirmed ashamedly, “And you have a guard? Why are you up so early?

-Yes,” answered his brother-in-law, “we have guard duty until tomorrow night. It’s an extra day, to take next weekend off and go to a beach. We need to get out of this cold weather and feel the sun on our body, which is already asking for it…
