THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

The four of them gathered to say goodbye to the old year, Elian and Christopher talked about the travel agency branch in Islander, which opened exclusively to be closer to Amber.

-Yes, you’re right Christopher the agency has paid big dividends, right, my love?” asked Elian looking at Genesis, who was answering some messages on her WhatsApp.

-Yes, honey! By the way, Christopher, I’m preparing a report for you on the general status of all operations, ticket sales, service sales, in short, the profits obtained this year.

-It seems perfect to me! -He declared, “Remember that, according to the market study, there are almost no travel agencies in that area, less those dedicated to tourism, in spite of the natural riches that are located in the region.

-Okay! I’ll keep that in mind, we’ll open the first week of the year, shall we? -Elian interjected, making notes in his electronic notebook.

-I suggest you investigate first and according to the results, bombard the networks with publicity announcing its opening,” ordered Christopher.

-I have been called asking for tickets,” said Genesis, “but I haven’t given any answers yet.

-Do you notice! -We are already making ourselves known, whether Amber is here or there, we will continue with the agency,” he said, looking at her with a smile.

-Excellent! -added Elian.

After this conversation, everyone was called to the terrace, to get ready to welcome the new year, because the countdown was starting. In this sense, dinner was served, Christopher had hired staff to take care of everyone and thus relieve the mansion’s domestic staff of so much work.

For them, he also organized a feast, which took place in the internal dining room of the mansion, dedicated especially for them. His parents, grateful for his idea, began the dinner with a toast and their best wishes for the new year.

Before the cannon shot, the grapes were distributed, to fulfill this ritual that years after years they practice as a tradition, adopted from the first country where Maddie was an ambassador and of which they keep this custom.

However, Christopher asked the waiters to serve champagne for everyone and made a toast, crossing his arms with Amber.

-To our marriage! I don’t want to make it public because I’m wary of the ill wishes and intentions of others. So we will celebrate it among ourselves, so that no one disturbs our plans, as happened some time ago,” he declared.

“It will be a wedding, as you have asked me, entirely familiar and intimate,” he affirmed, looking at her lovingly.

-I prefer it that way! -Because I totally share your criteria,” she concluded.

-For their love and their marriage, may it be forever! -they all shouted in chorus, and at that moment the twelve bells rang.

The shouts and the pyrotechnic games that were fired inside the grounds of the mansion and which formed the word “Happy New Year” in the sky, with which they embraced each other, wishing each other the best of the following year.

At the end, another fireworks display was observed in the sky, which read “I love you Amber”, with which she was all excited, hugging Christopher by the neck and kissing him without caring about the presence of others.

They, well into the early hours of the morning and happy to have enjoyed the company of their loved ones, retired to their room to rest, especially because he began to feel a little discomfort in the wound.

-If you want, shall I give you an injection to relieve it quickly? -His sister asked, worried because he had abused a little by taking care that everything was up to the level of the year’s farewell that their mother longed for and who did not allow him to take care of anything.

-No, don’t worry, sister, I still have painkillers,” he assured her, walking with a little difficulty towards the elevator.

-I am concerned that until now, you have not felt any discomfort and I observed you walking with difficulty, please let Thiago examine you. I want to be sure that everything is all right,” his sister said.

He accepted and went up to his room escorted by Amber, his parents, Sabrina, his sister and his brother-in-law, all of them very worried, because of the discomfort he was presenting.

Amber and Thiago entered the room, while the others waited outside for the results of the doctor’s examination. This check-up lasted a little more than ten minutes, after which, he came out and informed them that everything was fine, after resting the proper hours, he would fully recover.

-Anything you call me Amber, we cannot underestimate any minimum symptom that Christopher presents – affirmed Daniela, standing in the door of the room, observing her brother lying on the bed, somewhat relaxed.

Relax, sister-in-law, I’ll keep an eye on him,” answered Amber, saying goodbye to everyone and closing Christopher’s bedroom door.

-See you tomorrow! -They answered in chorus.

She did not allow him to do anything, she took care of undressing and dressing him again, tolerating the jokes that made her blush at his bold and heavy comments.

-I’m going to collect them all, when Thiago indicates that you are discharged,” said Amber, with a challenging look.

-What will be the punishment? That I make love to you three times a day?” he asked, smiling and taking her in his arms.

-That’s no punishment for you! As hot and lustful as you are, that’s a prize! -She answered with a wide smile. “Of course, but the opposite would be a good punishment for you! -she exclaimed with a smile.

-Don’t you dare! Amber, that’s not to be trifled with, my love, let any quarrels, contrariness, opposition between us cease when we reach our bed. This will be a zone of total peace, love and joy,” he replied, seriously.

-Ah, you see? That one really hurt you,” she said, smiling, hugging him around the waist, “I agree with you, we will try to respect this agreement, do you think so? -she questioned.

-Yes, my love, we will,” he agreed now.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

After a hot shower, Amber lay down next to him, who had fallen asleep, due to the painkillers. That night, Christopher complained a lot of pain, even his sister had to inject him to calm the pain so he could sleep peacefully…
