AUDREY"You're right; I'd better wait," I reply, resigned.Fabián offers a small, thankful smile and then leaves. I walk to my desk, and as soon as I get there, I slump into my chair, feeling defeated.I'm not sure how long I'll have to wait, but while I wait for them to finish their discussion, I might as well work on some pending tasks. I suppose I must have quite a few since I haven't been to the company in nearly a week. However, I didn't completely abandon my responsibilities; I worked from home and sent over anything that needed to be taken care of to Maggi, who acted as an intermediary between Daniel and me while I was away.It takes me longer than expected to finish some files that need to be sent to the advertising department. There's no way I'm going to the department in person. So, I call Maggi; she answers promptly and says she'll come as soon as she's done with some important fraction sheets that can't wait.In the meantime, I get up from my chair and grab my thermos to p
AUDREY"This woman was yelling and insulting me before you arrived," the witch speaks up ahead of her husband."Sarah," her husband calls her, "Go back home.""But..." she starts, and he immediately interrupts her."I said go back home," he repeats."I won't go home, knowing all the commotion happening right now. This harpy can't stay by my son's side," she gives me a disdainful look from head to toe."Daniel is no longer a five-year-old, Sarah," Mr. Anthony reminds her, as if his wife has trouble understanding. "This is a matter in which it's best not to meddle.""But you will because you're his father. In that case, I also have a right; I'm his mother," she insists.She's quite stubborn, but Mr. Anthony is very patient. Now I understand why they've been together for so many years.Daniel remains by my side, silently observing."Shall I remind you that I'm also his boss?" the man says in a completely calm tone. "The mistake Daniel made affects the company, and the trust I placed in h
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
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
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
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
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
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
