THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

On the other hand, Dylan was being patient, it was not in his best interest to make Amber angry. Because he knows, that for the slightest thing, she will want to break off the engagement and he is not willing to accept that. So he left straight to his mansion, where his parents were waiting for him.

Meanwhile, in her apartment, her mother was preparing a cake to celebrate the next day the birthday of her daughter, who until now had never stopped celebrating her birthday, except when she was in jail.

-Do you want it filled with arequipe or chocolate,” her mother asked.

-Heh, heh, heh! -She smiled, “Can you make an exception? And combine the two,” answered her daughter smiling, because she was fascinated by sweets.

-Yes, my love, as you wish, it’s your cake!” smiled her mother, looking for all the materials to fill and decorate the cake according to her taste. She had called Genesis to let her know that Amber was coming. So it was most likely that she would stop by the apartment.

Genesis, who was starting a romantic relationship with Elian, sitting at her desk with her headphones on, attending to a client, looked at the time and remembered that her friend should have already arrived from Islander, so as soon as she could, she would call him.

A few minutes later, Genesis saw Elian arrive with some trays of food and drinks for them. He, as soon as he entered, approached her and gave her a kiss on the lips, which made her lose the thread of the conversation she was having with a client, while he was explaining one of the tours.

When she finished answering the call, she took off her headphones, got up from her chair and walked to the kitchen, where he was preparing everything for lunch.

-How did it go?” asked Elian, catching her by the waist and cornering her against the wall, passionately kissing her lips, which he felt very soft and sweet. For him it was a delicacy.

-Divine, my love! -She answered, totally enraptured by his kisses, “I need to ask you something, my love,” she said.

-Ask for that little mouth, my love! -he answered with a wide smile, hugging her and pulling her to his body.

-Hee, hee, hee! -She smiled candidly and added, “Amber is here and I want to be with her for a while, that’s why I need to go out first, please!

“Besides, tomorrow is her birthday and I need to know what I should wear to celebrate. The three of us always get together to sing him morning,” she said.

-And yes, my love, you can leave whenever you want. Everything here works perfectly in your hands.

-Hee, hee, hee! Yes, my love, I don’t think she will object to my taking you,” she affirmed, moving closer to him, to melt into his arms.

-Then, tomorrow I will pick you up to take you to her apartment, we are leaving together, so you will leave your car in the building”, he proposed very affectionately, thinking of Christopher, because this was a good opportunity to get closer to Amber.

-Give it to her, my love, as you wish! -she answered, happy that he wanted to share everything with her.

At that moment, Genesis’ cell phone rang and he answered it. Amber, hearing a man’s voice, asked to be excused because she had made a mistake. The man, recognizing the voice, told her to wait, that he was already communicating with her.

Consequently, he informed his girlfriend that Amber was calling him and handed her his cell phone. She immediately answered the call.

-Amber, my friend, is that you? -she asked, cheerfully and with a wide smile, looking at her boyfriend, biting her lips.

-Yes, yes, friend, it’s me!” answered Amber, also excited to hear her voice, “What have you been hiding from me? Because I heard a man’s voice answering your cell phone, what’s more, the voice sounds familiar,” she assured.

-It’s Elian, who is here with me, we are having lunch together,” she answered excitedly, “Besides, I have a lot to tell you, especially about him,” she assured looking into his eyes, reflecting in them, how in love she was.

-Heh, heh, heh! -smiled Amber- Don’t tell me, that you let yourself be seduced by the second in command of Constructora Morillo & Wood -she smiled- Then, I won’t take more time for you to have lunch, I’ll see you today in the afternoon! You’re coming, right?

-Yes, my friend, I already talked to my boss to leave early, because you arrived and he authorized me to leave,” she answered, smiling again with her.
