AUDREY

I toss and turn in bed; I haven't been able to sleep at all because his words keep swirling around in my head every second.

I don't know how much time passes, but eventually, I fall asleep, and tomorrow I'll have huge dark circles under my eyes.

The next day, as I expected, exhaustion doesn't leave my body. I'm on the verge of falling asleep at my desk.

The day passes slowly, at least that's how it feels, but I'm thankful that there's not much work to do. Next week, there will be a new meeting with investors and sales analysts, and everything is ready for that day.

Like every workday, it's filled with paperwork, copying, and filing more paperwork, chatting with my friend during our lunch break, and then getting back to our tasks. This day and the following day go by without much fuss. The rumors among my colleagues seem to have quieted down a bit, maybe they've gotten distracted by something else.

As for my boss, Daniel, I've only seen him in the mornings when he greets me with

    AUDREYHis kiss is demanding and assured, just like he is. His lips control our kiss, leaving me breathless, and I can feel a strong sensation stirring inside me, and warmth invading that lower part between my legs.God, if his hands and mouth were to go there, I would lose all control...What is happening to me?I move my body when my mind clears a bit; it's not the right time or place. But what am I thinking? Nothing should happen between us; this is wrong.I gently pull away, interrupting our kiss, but keeping my hands on his shoulders as I recover from that fabulous kiss we just shared.I'm surprised to see that Daniel also seems a bit agitated by our kiss; his breath is as irregular as mine. As I regain all my senses, I feel myself falling into a state of confusion, unable to understand his spontaneity and his reaction after the kiss.Since I met him, I haven't seen much of him. Sometimes he seemed bold, while other times his seriousness irritated me.His composure at this moment

    AUDREY"Don't be nervous," he whispers in my ear. "Trust yourself, you'll do fine."Do I look that obvious? And how can he be so sure?We approach what seems to be his parents. Both of them are engaged in a lively conversation with a group of three more people. One of them clears his throat, drawing Mr. Anthony's attention, and Mrs. Sarah notices it, turning towards us.An expression of astonishment appears on her face as her eyebrows raise; she looks at me for a few seconds before diverting her eyes to her son. Mrs. Sarah is very beautiful, with her silky blond hair, tall and slender. She might have had some work done on her face, but that doesn't take away from the natural charm she still exudes.Mr. Anthony ends his conversation and turns towards us. His expression is very different from his wife's.Nervousness runs through my body. What if they don't believe our charade? What if I mess everything up? I think Daniel senses my unease again as he wraps his arm around my waist, pullin

    AUDREYOn Monday, everything goes back to normal. After the Saturday night event ended, Daniel took me back to my apartment. Neither of us mentioned anything about the kiss or anything else; we just said goodbye, and I got out of his car.In such a short time, I'm already tired of this. I shouldn't have played along; now I have no way out of the predicament my dear boss got me into."Do you have everything ready?" he asks without preamble when he arrives at the conference room. I nod. "Perfect, we'll start in less than five minutes."He announces that and then leaves down the hallway towards the reception. What changed in him? He seems different, distant. Now it's all business with Crawford.The meeting ends before eleven, almost time for lunch. I head to the small cafeteria on that floor and leave the tray with empty coffee cups. As I'm about to leave the room, suddenly I feel a body pressed against my back, trapping me between the counter and preventing my escape."But what..." My w

    AUDREYI grab my pen and notebook that are on my desk and grabbed my purse to get my small bottle of headache pills. My mind is still reeling at times from what happened the day before in that room, and then that scene takes me where I saw him with that blonde offered chatting very happily.He hissed between his teeth a curse when a more painful twinge hits my temple a little. I walk to the elevator when and open the bottle, and ingest two pills before entering the metal cubicle.They have sent for me to the design and photographer floor, I don't know why, but I must go and find out and I must take advantage now that Daniel is not in the office and there is not much pending work to be taken out.As I walk through the doors, I run into several models and other colleagues I've met before. I greet them and make my way to the reception area."Hi, I'm Audrey, the secretary…"I know who you are "the girl behind the counter cuts me off "Mr. Taylor is waiting for you in the photography area.

    AUDREY"What is that? "I'm pointing."Well, a dress, miss..." the young woman in the dressing room replies."I already know that-the girl looks at me like I've gone crazy. "I won't wear it, so don't waste your time waiting. "I recriminate."But Miss Turner…I'm interrupting her."Don't say that to me either, call me Audrey, I'm also an employee of this company. "I point as I see in my hands the garment, she gave me; it looks more like a piece of fabric than a dress. "Can it be called a dress? "I ask with a gesture of disgust. I think they have more fabric than a prostitute's clothes."Yes, it's a new design, from one of the best designers in the country, "the girl smiles, she didn't notice my dislike for that garment. "The best of today.If you call this the best, I don't want to know what's the worst. He looked at her and forced a smile."Well, I'm not used to wearing this... "I look at it again while I look for a way to name that dress without offending the creator. I won't wear tha

    AUDREY"Kiss, hug, show that you love each other. Oh, do all those things that couples give each other, they give each other a lot of love, Marlon raises his voice more.When will this end?"For the love of God woman" exclaims the photographer. "Hug your man, make it look like you love him and that you will not let anyone steal him from you.To have it stolen from me? Let them take it if they want so much, they'll do me a favor. But, of course, I won't shout it out loud.And why did I get upset a moment ago when that blonde insinuated that Daniel wanted her?What nonsense, I'm not interested in that, let him take it if he wants, in fact, I put a huge bow on him as a gift.Daniel's arm reaches up to me and wraps around my waist to draw me towards him, his hip collides against my waist. I stiffen when I feel his fingers digging into my bare skin and his breath goes through the strands of my hair until it reaches my neck area.For the love of God, why do I feel this feeling when I have i

    DANIEL"As you said before, she's very different from the women I've met. It is... unique, and that makes her special."Can you hear yourself clearly?" astonished question.What was so weird about saying that someone is unique? Maybe it's because I'm not the kind of guy who says or does things like the ones I'm doing now.She may have changed a bit, but it's all part of the plan, so I can keep what I want and get something else, which is her. I want to take Audrey to bed, do mine only once.What's so strange about that? It's my womanizing nature. Of course, I can clearly accept that.*****The trip to Australia was exhausting, despite having traveled on the Crawford Company's private plane, I arrived exhausted.The heat of Australia greets me with a big wave of wind and a sun so bright that it burns. I am not much of a country walker, but I admit that I love coming to this place, in fact I had years that I did not do it and now at the request of that great woman who gives me lectures

    AUDREYAfter he got out of the car, I was puzzled by the effect of emotion. I can't believe it, he touched me right there, not caring if we were alone or not, and what's even more confusing is that I allowed it.I had said I would continue later, but no, I can't keep allowing him to do this. Where is my dignity? My God, I've lost my mind; I let him touch me until I was almost on the verge of an orgasm.No, no more.Once I recover from that inappropriate act, I straighten my skirt and run my fingers through my hair. I managed to do it before the next door opened.To my surprise, it wasn't the driver who got out; it was Daniel, extending his hand towards me. I won't turn it down; I can't make a scene and get the attention of the people around us. I still don't know why we are in this place and why I have to accompany him.He mentioned something about traveling; I thought it would be to a nearby place, not to the other side of the world. What am I supposed to do here?I observe the place

    Six months later. It's been a few months since Daniel and I reconciled. We had sex several times that same night, of course not at my parents' house anymore. I'm taking her back home that same night. He asked me to live with him in his apartment, I told him that it was too early to take that step as well as to get married. I did not reject his marriage proposal, but I asked him for some time to get to know us more, and it's not that I have doubts about him, it's just that I don't want to skip the part of courtship and stop enjoying moments that we can experience while we are engaged. Like this moment right now, he's taking me to his parents' house for dinner. The truth is I've gotten used to it, I've started to tolerate his mother, she's not as nosy as before, because there's no complaint about his father, I've always liked that man. The moment he parks his car in the driveway of the big house, I make sure that there are several cars in the same place. "You didn't inform me that it

    AUDREYHe dips his tongue inside my mouth, pushing and looking for mine. He is so passionate, I had wanted so much for him to kiss and touch me again like he is doing now. Every second that passes while he has me like this, stuck to him, my knees get weaker, my breathing gets short, while my body demands for more.We parted, panting, and let our foreheads rest against each other."Daniel, not here, my parents could arrive at any time. "I say with difficulty."I remember that your mother said that it would be late to come back" a mischievous smile lights up on her face.I sigh, longing, while also smiling."Seriously, they may come at some point. "I take control. I turn away from him a little, but longing for him more."I've been daydreaming, wishing to have you, as well as now and then make love to you" my eyebrows rise, but she smiled a little. "I fantasized a million times, leaning over my office desk or on the kitchen table of my house to fuck you hard; I've imagined you on top of

    AUDREYMy mom and I are cooking dinner while a Whitney Houston song is playing on my music player. My mother is a fan of her music, I really like it too, because since I was a child I have been used to listening to it because of the woman who gave me life.I accept that I have been trying to focus on everything that my parents have offered me since I came home, but my mind always ends up somewhere else, far away from here, and that has had me very overwhelmed.Mom offered me to go out with her several times, she even called some old friends of mine from school to accompany me in case I didn't feel comfortable going out with my mother to a place that young people frequent, that's how she said. But the truth is, that was not the reason why I refused his invitation, but because I don't have the courage to even stick my head out.What a fun holiday, sarcasm is never lacking.If Nelly were with me right now, she would definitely be in some bar or some place she usually goes to every Friday

    DANIEL"What does this mean? "I reply annoyed, but not with him, but with me for not having known earlier.But if she didn't tell me how would I know?I move my hand quickly over the mouse, opening files and going down and up to examine them again and again. I don't know how many times I've checked them already. I know what it means, but what I'm still not fully informed about is how this got into the hands of that asshole.I'm trying to steal Audrey's ideas. These files prove it. They all have her signature, they are designs and advertising ideas, with her watermark, but they are not noticeable, what if it is, is the way she details everything in each idea or information of each project. It is clear that these works are hers, she would recognize them from miles away."Jonathan Sand, he went to plant in my office, showing me his new plan of ideas for the advertising department" he makes in quotes with his fingers. It's clear that Fabian also noticed this guy's deception." I don't know

    DANIELIt's been almost a month since she left and even though I've counted every day since that time, I didn't do anything to stop her, I just let her go and that's it. I received his resignation a few days after he left, I found out from Margarita when I returned from my trip, he had gone out to resolve the matter regarding the person who is behind the scandal. We haven't achieved anything yet, but Ben, and other lawyers, say that they will soon get to the root of everything.I hope so. I'm exhausted and without energy, I haven't even been able to sleep well since before our secret came out. Because my problem didn't start there, but when I saw those damn photos where she let that guy into her apartment, and the image of her in my mind when they were kissing in the nightclub where I found her that night."I've known you almost since we were kids, Daniel. You can't fool me. "finally articulates Henry, who had come to see me about the investigation and decided to spend a moment more t

    AUDREY"What? "Exclaims Nelly extremely surprised. "Why are you going to do that? have you gone crazy in case?I am looking for the most appropriate words to explain to him, before he insults me and believes things that are not."Don't worry, it's part of the plan to unmask him and his girlfriend that."Plan? what are you talking about?" She cocks her head, looking confused.He definitely won't understand me if I don't give him the details. I sigh before I let everything out to her. She's my friend and I won't hide from her what I'm about to do before I leave."Tomorrow I will go to the company to get some things that I forgot, then I will go down to the advertising floor and look for the director of that department. "Nel looks at me with a raised eyebrow in questioning mode, still not fully understanding, I continue." I will give him what he wants, but without really giving him what he is.Well, the part about me going for something is a lie, but she doesn't have to know that, it doe

    AUDREYThe sound of the doorbell ringing at my apartment takes me away from what I was doing to go and open. I don't know who's on the other side, I just open up thinking maybe it's Nelly, forgetting something.I open the door and I get an unpleasant surprise when I see this person standing in front of me. What the hell is he doing here?I'm about to close the door in her face, but she avoids it quickly and pushes her."Get the hell out of my house!" I yell at him."I'm not leaving here until I release what I've got in store," says the oxygenated witch "Jon's finally made up his mind, and he's let me tell you everything at once." We already got what we wanted, there's no reason to keep silent anymore" he shrugs his shoulders with an unimportant gesture.What, Jon what?I leave her, I don't do anything to close the door in her face again, I need to know at once what they want.I never imagined that Jonathan was entangled in some kind of mess with this witch. I knew what they had, but I

    AUDREYI head down to the ground floor and make my way to the exit to leave the building. My steps echo against the shiny beige tile. Nelly catches up to me before I reach the double glass doors."Audrey," she follows my pace."Not now, Nelly," I respond without stopping.When I exit, I catch sight of Mr. Anthony's car parked at the entrance. I approach it when I also see him. He's not alone; a man accompanies him. Nonetheless, I close the distance to get to where he is."Sir," I call him, and he turns as soon as I mention him. "May I speak with you?" He glances at the man accompanying him. "It will only take a minute; I won't take up much of your time," I add with a brief smile. He signals with his hand for us to move away from his guest and other people.I know that man; well, I've seen him a few times coming to the company, although I have no direct contact with the partners, I know he's one of them, a very important one, and a friend of Mr. Anthony."What's going on, Audrey?" He a

    AUDREYWe are alone now. What do I do, what do I say? Should I start talking and clarify things about Jon? I'm tired of that topic, but there are still many things to sort out.I sigh and gather my courage before speaking, but he beats me to it."Leave," he orders disdainfully. I furrow my eyebrows and shoot him a fierce look. He notices that I don't move and finally locks his eyes on me. "Didn't you hear?"He's behaving rudely and curt. I'm not here to endure any more dismissals and rudeness. I've had enough of the witches. Suddenly, I stand up, not taking my eyes off him."I thought we could reason with you, but I've just realized you're still the same jerk," I say, furious but not losing my composure too much.I turn sharply and start walking towards the door."It's all over, Miss Turner," I stop when I hear him, not turning, just standing there. "There's nothing left to fix, as my father indicated," he emphasizes the words. "There's nothing more to say. Now all that's left is to c
