SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Rafael:

As I left the house, I opened the passenger door of my Grand Cherokee and helped Sofia, who was no longer so surly with me, get in. As I noticed a gesture from her, which evidenced that she was feeling cold, I took off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

As I got into the van, I explained to her that we would first go to a hangar, where a jet was waiting for us to take us to the hacienda. I also told him that his mother Estefania and her triplets were there.

-I have three children? -she asked incredulously.

-Yes, three beautiful children who are also mine,” I confessed.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

-Are you my husband? -she asked, turning her face to look me in the face.

-No!” I answered, sincerely, “I’m your boyfriend, we are starting a relationship.

-Then…! How are you the father of my children? -she asked, with a curious look.

-It’s something long and complicated to explain! I promise that another time, I’ll clear up all your doubts. Now relax and trust that in a few minutes you will be with the ones you love the most.

On Paradise Island, at dawn, The Narrator:

Jose David, taking advantage of the fact that Shayla was alone, in charge of the address he occupied, was approaching her, since he left the delegation. He accompanied his father to Ciudad La Rosa, but later returned to the island.

He knew that Sofia’s friend’s eyes were drawn to him, so he would take advantage of her weakness. Benjamin, realizing his move, put Shayla on notice so that she would be forewarned.

-Shayla, how are you?” asked Jose David, standing in the Naviera’s parking lot, apparently waiting for her.

-What are you doing here, you know you’re not supposed to go near Sofia or any member of her family? -She questioned, remembering Benjamin’s warning.

-First of all, you are not Sofia’s family,” he said, “and secondly, I need to take some personal things out of my office and I know that you are occupying it. Please, let me come in! And I’ll leave without any problem,” he confessed.

-Would I have to consult Benjamin? -she clarified.

-Since when is that old man the one who decides in the shipping company? -he objected.

-He’s the new CEO, since your sister kidnapped Sofia,” I announced.

-We still don’t know for sure, and it could even have been her new lover, Rafael, who may have made his fortune,” he added.

-Ha! Bleeding from the wound? Because Sofia chose him and he never turned to look at you,” she questioned again, “Read the magazine that interviews him every year, to know in detail where his fortune comes from,” she challenged.

“In any case, I don’t authorize you, talk to Benjamin,” she replied.

-They are my things! And I have the right to remove them, or am I going to need to mobilize a court to get my things out of here? -he questioned, frightening Shayla.

-I’m not denying you anything, I’m just not the right person to grant you this permission,” she acknowledged.

-To avoid new scandals, you come in with me, I gather my things and leave without anyone noticing,” he assured her. She hesitantly allowed herself to be convinced, giving permission for her entrance.

Jose David, as soon as she turned around, drew a wicked and malicious smile that gave away his true intentions. She, taking her bag and briefcase out of her car, walked towards the entrance and was followed by him.

The watchman, upon observing him, remembered the order received from the CEO and therefore, immediately denied her access.

-Let him pass! I just authorized him because he is going to remove his personal belongings from the office he was occupying,” she explained.

-Mr. Benjamin was emphatic, none of the members of the Medina family may enter the Shipping Company until further notice,” he announced.

-He enters under my responsibility,” she clarified, passing the entrance turnstile and waiting for him.

The watchman agreed, but as soon as they walked towards the elevator area, he informed his superior. He ordered her to calm down because she was a member of the family of the majority owners.

Once in the elevator, Jose David looked for ways to brush and approach Shayla. He knew the effect that his proximity produced in her, which he observed on several occasions, only that before it did not seem relevant to him to approach her, because his goal was Sofia.

She, totally disturbed by his approach, distanced herself, which he observed and questioned:

-What’s the matter Shayla, are you afraid of me?

-Not at all,” she answered, trying to hide the reaction of her traitorous body.

-Then, why are you walking away? -he asked, as soon as the elevator doors opened, giving way to her first. Everything was silent, because the staff had not yet arrived.

-Because I don’t like you invading my space,” she replied, opening the door to her office.

Jose David entered, observing that everything was the same as when he left it, which was precisely, long before he was arrested with his father.

-Haven’t you made any change in the office? There’s nothing of yours here,” he objected.

-I haven’t had time, besides, I don’t think you have bad taste,” she affirmed, “everything looks nice to me, so I didn’t see the need or the hurry to change anything.

-The office is comfortable, I adapted it to my needs, since I spent more time here than at home,” he said, approaching his library. There, he moved some books and opened a safe, very well protected.

-When I leave, put the books back in the same place, so that no one will notice the safe. It was installed for me by someone I trust very much,” he commented.

-Don’t worry! -she agreed.

-I’ll take everything, they are personal documents that only I am interested in,” he added.

-I don’t think there will be any problem with that,” she said. She answered a call, which brought a wide smile to her face, making her look more beautiful and youthful.

-Bless God, I’m glad, sister! That you showed up! -Remembering Jose David’s presence in the office, she didn’t comment anything else, she only answered with monosyllables.

-That your friend and benefactor showed up? -he questioned with a fake and forced smile.

-I don’t know what you’re talking about? -she argued, concluding that she had made a slip of the tongue in front of him when she took the call.

-Well, Shayla! I am very grateful for this favor, any information or advice you require in this field I am at your entire disposal, but only and exclusively for you,” he said, approaching her to give her a kiss on the cheek.

For Shayla, this was tempting because since she saw Jose David for the first time, she felt attracted to him. While it is true, he is not an adonis like Rafael, he has his thing. But what intrigues her the most is his personality, his look and his arrogance.

He left the office, leaving her alone and with a sea of confusion, since he had never approached her, not even to greet her with a handshake.

In Ciudad La Rosa, at the Clinic, the Narrator:

In the room where Rafael’s mother was hospitalized, she was recovering from the accident she had suffered, chatting with her daughter, asking her to take him to the hacienda, as soon as she was discharged, because she missed her real home very much.

-Yes, Mommy! I am sure Rafael will agree to that, but I must tell him, ask for his authorization -added her daughter Diana, with a smile and happy to finally see her mother recovered.

-Knock, knock!

-Go ahead! -said Diana.

Good morning, sister-in-law! Mom, how are you feeling? -said Mirelys, approaching Camila to hug and kiss her.

-Very well, daughter! -And you, how are you feeling? I haven’t seen you for days,” she added.

-Don’t think I abandoned you! I was in constant contact with the doctor, but I had to help my mother, because the situation in the vineyard is getting worse and worse,” she confessed.

-What does your mother say about it? -Camila asked.

-Mother, I don’t think you should worry about anything! Some other time you can talk about it with Mirelys,” added Diana, looking angrily at her.

-Yes, don’t worry, mommy! I’m already free and I can devote myself totally to you,” added Mirelys.

-Then, get everything ready to go with me to the farm, because I will recover faster there,” declared Camila.

-Mommy, I’m sorry, you can’t invite Mirelys to the hacienda without consulting my brother first,” Diana clarified.

-Why not? I can bring whoever I want,” she said in disgust.

-My brother won’t allow it, please calm down! -Diana ordered. “Please, Mirelys! Be careful what you say in front of my mother, she is still delicate -she assured her.

-I just want to please Camila, so she can recover faster! -she argued, making Diana look at her angrily…
