THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-What do you want? -Amber asked in a surly voice, rolling down the glass of her car window.

-Just asking you for a favor,” pleaded Christopher, swallowing dryly and bending his pride, for his father’s benefit.

-What favor? -She interjected, in a dull, unvarying voice.

-“That if you are interviewed you do not disclose the results of the negotiation,” he said, with an anxious and anxious look on his face.

“As a result of this, my father had a heart attack yesterday, had a stent put in and is still hospitalized. Before I explain these results, I’ll wait for him to get better.

-That’s fine with me! -And I’m sorry about your dad,” she said, remembering how her mother was thrown by him in the street and because of this, she got sick and was hospitalized while she was in jail.

This has never been part of her revenge plans, but it is good, that she experiences the same, this will be her karma, to suffer or go through what she went through.

-Thank you! -he said, walking towards his Ferrari, while she looked at his broad back.

For his part, Christopher, getting into his car, remembered everything he talked to her on his only visit to the checkpoint. By virtue of this, from now on he will dedicate himself to find the truth wherever he is, with this motive he will try to get in touch with his friend Joshua.

In addition, this negotiation has left a bitter taste in his mouth, it has been his hardest defeat and it seems that there will be many losses. Added to the fact that he does not know how the results of this collective bargaining agreement will affect his father when he finds out.

“And to think that Amber has been the person I have humiliated and mistreated the most in the past,” he recalled, reflecting on the way she conducted and dominated the entire negotiation, she gave the impression of being a very experienced professional.

The two left simultaneously, one after the other. The clinic was just down the road she had taken. When they reached a certain intersection, Christopher turned right, while she continued straight ahead, which took the pressure off her, assuming he was following her, to attack her again.

After this, Amber reflected on the expression, “life is a boomerang”, what you give, you get. Every action, word, gesture has a specific intention and the outside will respond to it, hence what a person thinks, says or does, brings its own consequences.

The following day

At the Morillos Wood mansion, as soon as Christopher woke up, he called his friend Joshua, CEO of the Rosal hotel chain, by cell phone. However, the call went straight to voicemail, so he deduced that it was turned off or had no signal.

Amber arrived at her office and reported back to her bosses, giving them the good news that she had achieved between ninety and ninety-five percent of what she had asked for. They were astonished, as they considered the action and proposal to be reckless.

Also, Amber, among all the benefits she achieved, was the payment of all the fallen wages, but in two parts, plus a retroactive bonus, for the delay in the signature and finally, the immediate incorporation of all the workers to their workplace.

-Amber, you are extraordinary! We are proud of you,” commented the most senior lawyer on the team, as he arrived and listened to her accomplishments.

-Thank you! -She still felt a little tired, as it had been an exhausting day, from which she did not come out until she had finished the last clause, which contained the written proposal made by the workers with her advice.

At that moment, Dylan arrived at the office, who had learned of the defeat that she had caused to Constructora e Inmobiliaria Internacional MORILLO & WOOD. He was happy and satisfied, because this separated Amber from Christopher even more.

-Hello Amber! I come for you to take you to celebrate this triumph and this victory Have you seen the nets? -said Dylan, with a mischievous smile.

-No, I haven’t had time! And if you knew Dylan, what I want more than anything is to sleep! Let’s leave this celebration for another day,” she said, adding, “I came because one of my clients is coming to pick up a document and I’m going to leave it to my secretary.

-No problem Amber, we’ll leave it for later! -Dylan answered at once, but with a cold look- Receive again my congratulations and have a good rest -he replied, leaving the office towards his car, with a gesture of displeasure and fury on his face, which was observed by one of Amber’s colleagues.

Finally, Amber left in her office all the folders she brought with her, while she collected others related to her case, to begin to work by judicial means her revenge against Christopher and against all those who allied to destroy her.

Although so far, his name has not come up in any of the statements of those involved in the beating she received, she is almost certain that it was him who ordered it. For Amber he is involved only that he has handled everything with cunning.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

For his part, Christopher continued to insist on calling his friend, but since he was unable to get through, he left directly for the clinic. When he arrived, he found his mother relaxed and feeding his father, who upon seeing him asked, “How was everything with the workers?

-Very well, father! I made arrangements with them and managed to calm them down, they will all return to their jobs today.

-What good news, son! It brings me back to my soul,” he said, smiling with satisfaction at his son.

-What’s more, you mustn’t touch that subject, neither with me nor with anyone else, you must take care only of yourself, of feeling and being very well,” Christopher asked his father.

-Yes, son,” he answered like a scolded child, with a hoarse and dramatic voice.

-Mom, I need to reach Joshua. I’ve been calling him and my cell phone either goes dead or goes straight to voicemail. That’s why I’m going to go to El Rosal to locate him, if you need anything, call me immediately,” he asked his mother.

-Yes, don’t worry, your father is already better. The cardiologist told me that if he continues like this, he will be discharged tomorrow,” she assured him with a smile that was reflected even in her eyes.

-Perfect! -declared Christopher, raising his thumb on his right hand and smiling at his father…
