I went to the restaurant while thinking deeply , but I did n’t see Jessica anywhere . Surprised ,
I casually ordered something light to eat . So , I got a call from Carlos in the middle of the meal and I
spoke with him a bit before closing the meeting .link . As I left the restaurant , I
met Jessica ‘s subordinate , Ana , who smiled and greeted me . So I could n’t help but ask : “ Where di
d Jessica go ? _ _ ”
“ Ah , manager Lopes ? She left early . I also have no idea where she went ”
After hearing that , I remembered my conversation with Jessica this morning . _ _ _ She mentioned hav
ing inside information . for me ; I don’t think it
was a joke . So I decided to call her . _ To my surprise , her phone numberwas turned
off . Under normal circumstances , she would only hang up the phone for two reasons . One , there
was no signal on her location and the other ,
she was entertaining an important client . Since Ana said that she left early this morning , I think shewe
nt out to meet an important client .
After that , I stopped worrying about Jessica and went straight back to the office . After reviewing some
sketches , I started to check the hours frequently . _ Henriques was returning today and asked me to c
all him this afternoon . I must not forget
do it . _
When 2pm finally
arrived , I picked up my phone and called Henriques . However , his phone was turned off . Is he still on
the plane ? _ So I went online to double check the flight time from Las Vegas to _ _ _bar . By
the estimated time of arrival , he should have already arrived in Barra . So why is his phone still off ? _
_ _
So my heart was fluttering with uncertainty again and I called him every 30 minutes . _ _ _ _ _ _ Unfort
unately , I
was unable to speak with him , even as I was about to leave work . So I had no choice but to _admit th
at she
had been deceived by him . Angrily , I started to gather my things and got ready to go home . _ At
that moment , I received an unexpected call from President Freitas . “ Linda , gather your things and go
down . I will take itwith me to meet someone . ”
Hesitating a bit , I replied , “ But I ‘ll clock in soon . _ ”
“ Think of it as an extra hour . I ‘ll pay you overtime . _ Hurry up ; I’m in a hurry . President Freitas ‘
tone did not allow for objections .
Eu não poderia me importar menos com o pagamento de horas extras. Ainda assim, precisava da ajud
a dele para resolver alguns problemas que enfrentaria no futuro. Então, concordei com o pedido dele.
His car was already waiting for me downstairs . _ As soon as I
got in the car , the driver immediately took off and sped towards our destination . When I was about to
question President Freitas about who we were going to meet , my phone rang .again . It
was Charles . “ Honey , are you still working ? The driver is still waiting for you downstairs ” . _
“ I was about to
inform you about this . Something happened tonight and I ‘m accompanying President Freitas to attend
to a client ” .
“Uma reunião repentina com um cliente?” A voz de Carlos estava claramente carregada de dúvida.
“Isso mesmo. Recebi o pedido do nada. Estou no carro do Sr. Freitas agora.”
Ouvindo–me explicar–
me a Carlos, o presidente Freitas sorriu. Então, ele disse em voz alta ao meu lado: “Linda, por favor, di
ga ao presidente Morais que sinto muito por tomar o precioso tempo de sua esposa. Como um apolog
y , I will invite you for a meal next time . _ _ _
Naturally , Carlos heard what President Freitas said . _ _ So he did n’t keep questioning me about it . In
stead , he told me to take care of myself and call him after I finished my client meeting , saying _ _ _ _
_que ele viria me buscar. Depois que desliguei, o presidente Freitas não pode deixar de rir. “Nunca ima
ginaria que o presidente Morais fosse tão grudento com sua esposa. Se bem me lembro, vocês estão Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
casados há cinco anos, certo? Não acredito que vocês dois ainda sejam tão carinhosos um com o outr
o. É como se vocês fossem recém–casados!”
