THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

The first day of the year

The next day, in the morning, Daniela and Thiago decided to take Christopher back to the Hospital, where he underwent tests, x-rays and ultrasounds, which showed nothing abnormal. Apparently everything was fine.

Thiago spoke to him alone and gave him certain recommendations, which he complied with to the letter. At the end of the festivities, everyone returned to their work routines. However, Christopher, on the first day of work, moved with Amber to his Penthouse, where they will have more privacy.

In addition to this, he asked an expert staff to take custody of his mother-in-law, who did not want to move in with them for the time being, but preferred to stay in the apartment his daughter bought her. Later, Amber convinced him to let her work.

She, fearing the worst in her office, showed up and was greeted by her co-workers, who were totally unaware of what had happened between her and Dylan Lugo.

-Happy New Year, Amber! -greeted her friend Nairobi Cedeno, who hugged and kissed her. The two remembered the case, in which the fundamental witnesses to prove her innocence were killed in prison.

-Happy New Year, my friend! I wish this year will be only blessings for you,” commented Amber, smiling with her.

After greeting all her colleagues, Amber was called by the owner of the firm, who informed her about the new decisions in view that Dylan Lugo was one of the main shareholders of the firm.

-Sorry Amber, I am very pleased with your performance! You have been outstanding in very key cases of the firm, but unfortunately, one of the owners and shareholder of the firm, Dylan Lugo requested, in the last meeting of the year that just ended, your exclusion from the firm.

-No problem for me! I suspected it. I don’t know what he may have told you, but I’m not willing to let him kidnap my mother and use her as a way to get me to accept his intentions,” she said evenly.

-Oh, my! Those are serious words. Did you file a complaint? -said the president and Lugo’s partner, his eyes widening enormously.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

-No, because he threatened my mother! Can I take my things with me?” she asked in a very relaxed manner, apparently this had not affected her and that is how his partner perceived it.

-Yes, no problem for me! What’s more, I repeat, if it’s for me, I’ll never let you out of the office. In any case, I wish you a lot of success, wherever you go you will always be excellent,” he assured her, a little embarrassed and ashamed.

-Thank you! -Amber replied, greeting the rest of the staff she had not seen when she arrived. She went straight to her office, called her secretary on the phone to help her pick up all her things, and she was astonished that her boss was leaving.

-I was expecting this,” commented Amber, very calm and calling Christopher.

-Hello, my love! How are you? How do you feel? -She asked with a sweet and seductive voice, but showing concern for him.

-Very well, my love, worried about you, because there you are exposed to meet Lugo at any moment. Is your bodyguard with you?

-Heh, heh, heh! You know, they “fired” me,” she smiled, telling him the news, knowing that this would reassure him. He did not want her to continue working in that office.

“Partner Lugo, asked for my exclusion at the last meeting of the year. And yes, if the custodian is with me, he is helping me to pick up everything,” she said.

-It’s the best thing that could have happened to you! Tell me, what do you want? Your own firm or to belong to an already established one, the best? He consulted, happy and satisfied, because this way, she was totally disassociated from the delinquent Lugo- And I’m glad your bodyguard is there, don’t go anywhere without him, please.

-I haven’t thought about what I’m going to do yet. I’m going to help Genesis with her wedding preparations. In the meantime, I am going to rent an office, near the Courts, to continue attending the pending cases that are mine and that do not correspond to Lugo’s legal office.

-Leave that to me! You know that I can buy the Courthouse from you, if that is the case,” he affirmed, showing his happiness at what had happened.

-Yes, my billionaire fiance,” she replied, “I know that, but I want to have what is mine, what I achieve by my own efforts. What is yours is yours and I want it to stay that way,” she acknowledged, happy and calm.

-I don’t feel you, very affected! -You know very well that what is mine is yours!

-Not at all, that this decision affects me! I will cry the day that I lose my mother or you, but otherwise there is nothing, because to cry. Material things can be recovered, they can be reacquired, I’m very young, I’m just starting to live,” she said, laughing.

-I love it! This way of expressing yourself and seeing life. I’m here, waiting for you,” he assured.

-I know, my love,” she answered.

-And since you are going to help Genesis with her wedding, then will you accompany me to our wedding? I was thinking of just giving the order to Elian to take care of everything,” Christopher affirmed.

-Of course, my love. This way we will enjoy it more, without publicity or boasting or news, in the media or in networks. I want something very discreet,” she repeated.

-As you wish, my queen,” the submissive assured her.

Amber hung up the call, ordered from a digital store what she needed to make the move and concentrated on it. In a fraction of a minute this became the news of the day, both in the Law Office and in the social networks of her colleagues and acquaintances, who did not agree with this.

At noon, with the personnel sent by Christopher for her move, Amber left the office to a depository, where she would take her furniture, files, equipment and other resources, while she finalized the lease of some premises.

Leaving the office, her two friends Nairobi and Mildred accompanied her to the parking lot, putting themselves at her orders and reminding her that even though they did not work in the same office, they were willing to act with her in the cases in which she needed them.

-Thank you! In any case, we will be in touch, because I will invite them to a very personal event, but I don’t want to make it public until I have everything ready,” she said, smiling.

She said goodbye to her friends very calmly, who, at no time, asked her the reason for this decision.

-Thank you, friend,” replied Nairobi, who was amazed at how relaxed she was despite being taken out by order from above.

-Thank you Amber! -replied Mildred.

-Thank you because, in spite of everything, you are here with me, saying goodbye, putting our friendship above any decision. You know, I leave happy and calm. I feel immensely free! It’s as if a cage had been opened for me. Heh, heh, heh!
