CHAPTER 19: KISS, KISS! They were all gathered together, like the family they were, in a circle where the main points of attention were Leonardo and Emma, plus Leonardo. No one had ever seen anyone so elegant here, it was heard to be said, sometimes a morbid silence was formed, and all eyes fell on them, who barely spoke, Emma was too embarrassed and stressed for the words to flow naturally enough, so she had to force herself to speak."So, Emma" The girl raised her eyes when she heard her uncle's voice calling her, she cursed inwardly, knowing that an awkward and out-of-place question was coming. "Tell us a little about your companion, he is very quiet".At that moment, Leonardo smiled, like someone who hears ‘happy birthday’ sung to him and doesn't know precisely what he should do, or how he should act. His eyes fell on Emma, who seemed to know less than he about how to respond to her family."Yes, he's very quiet," was all Emma said, crossing her fingers that the conversation woul

The blush had not left her cheeks yet, even though the kiss had been a full ten minutes ago.She knew that her relatives would never stop talking about it, at all the family reunions she would be reminded of how she had kissed a man in front of everyone, or rather, how she had been kissed by him, by a wealthy guy.She could almost hear everyone's voices, intoxicated by happiness, she knew that none of them saw beyond the money Leonardo had, it was obvious. More than once, she had taken her boyfriends to a family dinner, and they had been strongly criticized and rejected, not because they were worse than him -in fact, many of her old boyfriends were not as bad as her family wanted her to think-, but because they were not rich, like the man who drove the car where she was, looking out the window in a lost way. Thinking, thinking. Her mind was unraveling drop by drop, the thoughts would drive her crazy.There was only silence between them, one too uncomfortable, she did not want to be ki

She remained paralyzed, completely static, the color left her face, her limbs lost their strength, and not falling down turned out to be a complete struggle for her. With great effort, she looked into his eyes, completely perplexed, Leonardo's words resounded like violent thunder in her ears, speech left her for an instant. Holding the hand of her boss, who had just proposed her to be his girlfriend, Emma trembled. Was it all a crude joke? She wanted to know, still without giving him any answer. She looked at him, hoping that regret would show in his eyes, but she saw only firmness in them, he had said what he had said and he didn't seem to regret it."Your girlfriend?" she stammered when she was finally able to loosen the choking lump in her throat."Emma, don't you realize that I liked you from the first time I saw you?" The girl did not answer, still holding on to him, looking in all directions, as if trying to find an escape from a situation that did not have one. The firmness in

CHAPTER 22: TRIUMPHANT.She had told no one about Leonardo's proposal, only her mother, with who she was talking at that moment, moving agitatedly from one side to the other, holding her cell phone tremulously while she looked at the dress Leonardo had given her. Not only a dress, but some jewelry, some earrings, some shoes... she felt it was too much, she was on the verge of collapse and there was very little that could calm her down at a moment like that."And what did you say to him when he proposed that to you?" asked her mother with interest."That I was going to think about it," answered Emma, sitting down on her sofa and looking at the clock, it was exactly one hour before Leonardo would pick her up, "But I don't know what to say...""Don't tell me you plan to give him a negative answer, Emma"."I don't know, mom...""Emma, for everyone's sake, you must tell him that you agree to be his girlfriend".Emma stroked her temple impatiently, she knew that her mother would answer her

CHAPTER 23: AN ANSWER.It was the most beautiful place she had ever seen in her entire life.A huge off-white house, with each of its margins adorned, a huge chandelier adorned the ceiling, Emma noticed as she entered the place, holding Leonardo's hand. She swallowed saliva, trying to regulate the volume of her breathing, she felt how a couple of glances fell on them, the first thing her paranoid mind told her, was that from far away everyone could see that she was not high class, that she was just a simple secretary.Leonardo looked at Emma, tense as a rock, but beautiful as a diamond, it was very easy to read her eyes, it was as if by looking at her, he had the ability to know what were the thoughts that were in her head, at that moment, she felt the glances stuck in her body, in the bodies of both, she did not know that she was the first woman with who Leonardo White went to a party like that. Of course she would be the winner of every one of everyone's stares.Soft music could be

CHAPTER 24: FAMILY.In her head, she replayed over and over again what had happened, too much in such a short time.Leonardo had told her that she didn't have to go back to work anymore, and long before she could even object, he had told her that she had to go to his parents' house to meet them.Emma had been stunned, meeting the White family? She wouldn't even know how to react, it was very likely that her nerves would suffocate her immediately Leonardo's father asked her any questions, but he had insisted, even though she had told him it was too soon to go to his family. "I went to yours," he had told her, winning her the conversation and ending up convincing her. "I'll get you a new raspberry colored dress, mom loves that color," she kept remembering Leonardo's words as she looked at that new dress, there had been too many in too short a time, she felt it wasn't something she could handle, she wasn't used to men gifting her with so many things, ever. She had the feeling that once s

CHAPTER 25: ONE MORE.Leonardo tilted his head carefully, fixing his gaze on an indeterminate point."If she had been one more, I wouldn't have brought her to this place, dad," was the only thing he answered, without looking at his father, a man who was quite well-built despite his age, "Don't you think so?""It makes sense," the man admitted, "But I don't know what tactics you are starting to use now, Leonardo".The blond gave his father a withering look."What do you mean by ‘tactics’? Do you believe all those rumors about me too? Because fuck, everything does believe all that shit, first Emma believing those rumors, the stupid secretaries at your company spreading it around, and now you, my father, believing them?""Leonardo, we both know these are not just rumors"."These are things that happened years ago, Dad, and you know they did, so why is it so hard to believe that I changed? Damn it, have you ever seen me doing the same thing again?""No, but...""Exactly, I stopped being l

CHAPTER 26: RUMORS.She had asked him for the discretion he didn't want to keep. "Why is it necessary to keep it a secret?" Leonardo had told her, he wanted to shout it everywhere, he wanted everyone to know that she was his girlfriend, so that no one would dare to try to seduce her, but Emma, still thought it looked too bad to be his boss's girlfriend, for that reason, she had asked him for just a couple of weeks. "Just wait a little, just a few weeks" she had told him, although he had noticed himself in complete disagreement he had agreed not to tell anyone, but that didn't stop his behavior from being the inappropriate one, at least there: kissing, caressing, almost in front of everyone.It was not even necessary to tell anyone that they were more than secretary and boss, because Emma had the idea that assumptions were circulating, everything was too obvious. A week and already what she had wanted to keep secret, was on everyone's lips, people looked at her differently. Whenever Le

CHAPTER 27: LIAM.Three weeks had passed since Leonardo had fired those two secretaries, and if Emma had known the consequences that this would bring, she would have insisted on not having them fired; everyone in the company pointed an accusing eye at her, everyone told her that it was her fault that those two innocent girls had been fired, but no one told her directly, because, according to what Emma had heard, everyone was afraid that she would go to Leonardo to tell him about it. It seemed crazy to her how she went from being a nobody in that company, to being one -not to say the most- of the most hated ones there, cruel looks she met at every corner, if she needed help, and Leonardo was not by her side, nobody offered it, but to her joy, he was always by her side, even, to a point somewhat... suffocating for Emma."I'm quite a romantic man when I fall in love" she remembered his words, a smile tore from her face, she couldn't say she was lying, in a month, she had received the lov

CHAPTER 28: JEALOUSY.Liam noticed the expression in the stranger's eyes, but Emma seemed not to. The girl wiped some of the pieces of cookie that had fallen on her clothes, and stood up, with a soft smile she walked towards Leonardo, who had remained static in his position, as if he was unable to believe his eyes, he blinked hard, as if by doing that, he would get that guy he didn't know, to leave the place where Emma lived.The girl walked towards Leonardo, opening her arms, giving him a hug that he did not even reciprocate, as he remained static, in his place, looking at Liam, who challenged him with his eyes, he did not even know why, Leonardo did not understand what that guy was doing with Emma, and Liam did not understand who that guy was and why Emma had hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, both men were in a mixture of doubts, Emma did not even realize that the looks of both seemed to battle without any reason."Leonardo, dear, I'm so glad you're here" The smile didn't leav
