Imanol is aware that he is getting into dangerous territory and he is also pushing his assistant, who has been very polite during the period he has worked in the company and now he himself has put her in serious trouble by introducing her as his girlfriend.

That action makes him feel like a loser, but in reality his mother's serious situation forced him to make that rash decision.

-Jandé, answer if you are willing to give me a son, please. -He asks with much desperation because he is afraid that she will not agree with his madness as an unstable man.

-Boss, you are crazy if you think I will agree to sleep with you just to give you a son and cheat on your mother, that's not right. Besides, this is the first time we are interacting with scenes other than work, don't you think it is very absurd to do what you are proposing?

-I understand your concern. And precisely to that point I want to get to, it won't be necessary for us to even touch each other in private. What I need is to rent your womb to give birth to my child through artificial insemination.

We will make my mother understand that we are a couple; however, when the baby is born, I will keep him and you will disengage from his custody. We will say that our relationship has failed and we have decided that I would keep the baby because you don't want him. -He laid out his plan.

-I'm sorry, sir, but I am not capable of agreeing to be a party to such a lie. If you want to do that so badly, find yourself another woman, because you can't count on me. -Jandé says, as he takes his wallet to leave the place, but just at that moment he gets a call from Darío and then he remembers his threats.

-How much money are you willing to offer if I accept the deal, boss? -he asks, even with his back turned.

-Two million dollars, even ten, if you are not satisfied with the first offer. What do you think?

-I accept, I accept to have a child for you, boss.

That same afternoon Jandé told her about the problems that have arisen in her marriage, Imanol shuddered when she said that an unknown man appeared in her bed and was the apple that detonated the whole mess she is now suffering for, she doesn't know that her husband Darío was the one who set her up to separate with justification and keep the house.

-Maybe otherwise I wouldn't have found out so easily about my husband's divorce plans. -The girl laments.

-Don't be distressed and take on the positive side what that stranger did, I think it rather helped you to realize what kind of husband you have and now look, you are giving yourself the opportunity to have everything you want in life. -He comforts her.

-You and my husband know each other? I heard he called you a tramp when he saw you come into the house.

Are you and he agreeing to affect me? -she asked, frowning and narrowing her doubtful eyes.

-No, we've never met before. Maybe that guy was stoned at the time and mistook me for someone else. Or have you ever seen me dressed as a street urchin?

-Of course not, boss, but since I only know him inside the office and his life outside I don't know, so I guess I can't say.

-Well, how funny you are, do you think a businessman like me would do such a thing? In the company you are the one who passes closest to me and I have never given any indication of being a humorous person to dress in a non-formal way. -he defended himself. Fearing discovery.

-He's right.

-Well, it's for you to see that he doesn't know me at all, and if he tells you otherwise, he's lying. -Imanol assured him, since he didn't want the girl to discover that, as fate would have it, that stranger in bed was him.

“If she finds out it was me, she'll be upset with me and won't want to collaborate with what we've already started.” -He thinks to himself.

-Your mother will keep track of the supposed pregnancy and eventually she'll know you lied to her. Don't you think her disappointment will be worse than not having a grandchild?

-I have to get in touch with a friend right away, he will take care of the tests and the procedure for the insemination, if it doesn't work, we will soon opt for another more reliable method.

Jandé's plans include the possibility of becoming a mother. She has longed for it since she married Dario; however, he, wanting her only for the inheritance, refused to have children for the time being. Now she is grateful that things have been this way, otherwise she might be fighting for custody of the baby.

She wants to be a mother, but not in the way she will now. Her desire is to have a child made with a lot of love by a man she and he love unconditionally. Now she has agreed to rent her womb and carry her boss's child for nine months.

And all because of Dario, who is demanding a compensation of five hundred thousand dollars and the house. Add to that the expense of hiring a good lawyer to carry out the divorce process and allow her to annul the petition that Dario has against her.

...

-Boss, remember that at two o'clock in the afternoon you have a meeting with the marketing manager. -Jandé announced.

-Boss? Is that how you're going to call me all the time?

-I do it out of respect, believe me my tongue itches to call you an idiot and a liar.

-Oh no! That hurt like a bullet. Your pretty girl face is nothing like the words you spew every time you get upset with me. I demand a little compassion for this poor soul who finds no other way out but to turn to his assistant! -he jokes, making the girl smile.

-I'm retiring now.

-Jandé, I've been thinking and I think it's best if you move in with me. First of all, you're not safe at home when we don't even know Dario's whereabouts; secondly, my mother is pressuring me to be together because of your supposed pregnancy.

-Alleged pregnancy? -asks the person who has just entered the office and looks at Imanol and the girl in astonishment.
