Red-handed
Monday had finally arrived, Chelsea had spent the whole weekend looking forward to the start of the working week although, after Saturday, the reasons were different, she was eager to confront Steve, to tell him everything she had inside. What she didn't know, nor did she imagine, was that he, too, had many things to complain about; since that same Saturday night he hadn't been able to get the image of Chelsea getting out of the car of none other than Fred. He, too, was ready to confront her. Two clashes of titans were about to happen. To Chelsea's surprise, when she arrived, Steve was already in his office sitting at his desk with his hands folded."Mr. Bullock, good morning, I didn't expect to find you here so early," she said aloud in an attempt to keep up appearances until she entered the office."Good morning Chelsea, please come in and close the door behind you."If he think he´s going to come today to want to kiss me after he haven't heard from me all weekend because he wa
A Plan Against the Assistant
The more she thought about it, the more hatred and anger grew in Larissa, angry? even that didn't cover a part of what she was feeling at the time, it was anger that was growing from within, she was furious because on the one hand, Steve thought she was dumb and he was wanting to leave her as the crazy girl who sees ghosts where there are none, and secondly, that shitty assistant was believing she had the authority to take her man right in front of her very eyes, she definitely had no idea who Larissa Hamilton was, but she would take it upon herself to prove it to him as close as possible. If she could, she would have thrown Steve the first object she had at hand because she knew that Chelsea would never be able to get close to him if he didn't let her, but she knew that if she did that, it was her sure ticket to separation and she couldn't allow it. She had long since determined that she would be Steve Bullock's wife, and she was willing to do anything to get it. She walked as fast
Into the arms of his rival
Since the last meeting with Chelsea, Fred has not been able to speak to her. He constantly sends her messages apologizing in a thousand ways, but she just doesn't respond to his messages. At times he confronts himself about it. Had he really been so disrespectful that she didn't want to talk to him? Or was it just an excuse she used to get away from him? To Fred it still seemed strange that she had changed so radically. While he's thinking, his cell phone rings, he wishes so much it was her... But no, when he picks up his cell phone he sees his father's name on the screen. She attends out of respect for what Erick represents in her life. "Hello, Dad. Go ahead. "Hi son, I see so much emotion in your tone of voice that I could swear I haven't seen so much happiness in the world in a son when receiving news from his father," The load of sarcasm that the prestigious billionaire showed in his words was evident. "Father, I'm not for your ironic phrases. Tell me what's on offer. "The on
A relentless battle
Chelsea took a deep breath and walked out behind her. She walked to the office, Stephanie announced her to her boss, and she walked in."Sit down, Miss Smith. We have to talk about a rather sensitive issue. Chelsea's heart raced fast, her hands began to sweat. Hugh's gaze this time was different, and the tone of his voice a little hostile. "Yes, Mr. Bullock, tell me—""As I've told my son on several occasions, I consider you to be one of Steve's best assistants”. Chelsea felt her soul return to her body with those words. “I have heard that during this week, you have had some inconveniences and I would like to hear your side of the story.” The redhead placed her hands on the desk and intertwined her fingers."It really must have been a misunderstanding, Mr. Bullock, for I can assure you that I never received a call from that businessman. Mr. Hoch never called me and if he did, I wasn't the one who took that call.”"But that's illogical, Hoch is a respectful man and even a bit ext
A troubling call
Chelsea was undoubtedly having one of the worst stages of her life, she had never felt so disillusioned as she does now because her love status could fall apart, she could be terrible, be left alone again and again, but her work, that could not fail and she was doing it. She was used to being congratulated for her accomplishments, to being the best at whatever she did, to others feeling threatened by her and her efficiency and that definitely wasn't happening in those last days. Hugh Bullock had called her into his office to ask her to account, he had made it clear to her that if there was any mistake again she was out of the company and that she could not afford that, not when her mother and her health depended on the job she was in and for which she had worked so hard. As if it were fate, his mother's name, Susane, had just appeared on the screen of his mobile phone."Mom!" "That was all he said; Her mother never called her during work hours, so she was intrigued that she was
Pleasant visit
Chelsea was making tea for her mother when her phone started ringing, it was Fred calling her. For a small moment, she thought about rejecting the call but then remembered how kind and patient he has been with her in those last days, he did not deserve to be treated with indifference. He always cared about her, called her, comforted her when she needed him, but Steve didn't even bother to ask her why she had left the company so early that afternoon, knowing too well that she never did, and yet her heart wanted him, that was something she didn't understand and never would. It's funny the way human beings think, we're too complex machines to be understood."Hi Fred," she said as soon as answered the call."Hello beautiful, I'm calling you to find out if maybe tomorrow you'd like to go with me for a coffee, of course, if you have the day off.""Fred, I'm in the north of the city at my mother's house, I had to come here today unexpectedly, as her condition worsened. I'm sorry I didn't

A night of pleasure and pain
The bewilderment and sadness on Chelsea's face is evident, even if Fred doesn't want it, he could feel how much the news affected her."I think we'd better go." He said, and she nodded.Fred put his arm around her and they left the place. There were no questions or comments. It didn't have to be very smart to know what was going on. Fred drove up to the building, Chelsea smiled briefly and kissed him goodbye on the cheek."Will you be okay?" He finally asked."Yes, it's all right. I just need to rest.” She got out of the car and went into the building.Meanwhile, Steve grabs Larissa's arm and leads her into the hallway."Why did you do that?" He confronts her, visibly angry."Do what, Steve?""Don't be silly to me, Larissa. Why did you say that we're getting married?”"Love, don't be angry. My manager told me that my channel was declining in rankings and that I should do something to lift it up and I could only say that we would get married. And where's the downside, Steve. W
