The strong aroma of alcohol woke Myriam up, she blinked and the first thing she saw was blue eyes similar to Anthony's, then she remembered what had happened."Are you feeling better, Miss Bennett?" asked the head of human resources.She nodded and then looked at Gerald confused, she didn't know for sure who he really was, and what he was doing there, that couldn't be a coincidence. Myriam shuddered and knew, the note she sent him was clear, and knowing him, he wasn't going to sit idly by.«What if he wants to take Tony away from me?» She thought and felt a shiver run down her spine."I think the lady needs oxygen," Gerald stated, then the head of human resources left the office, leaving them alone."So now you're trying to clear your conscience," Myriam said without hesitation. "How long will your charity work last? Or are you going to humiliate me again by saying goodbye in front of everyone?" she inquired and faced him fearlessly.Gerald clenched his teeth, he understood her anger,
"I don't know if they told you that one of the ships was damaged and that it would take three weeks to repair it," she reported. "That's what you're the manager for, look for solutions, don't call me, so I can give you the answers," he snorted. "I know very well what to do," she refuted, "I was just calling you to let you know that for the time being I will ask you to rent another ship," she said annoyed, "that expense is not included in the budget, that's why I require your authorization," she muttered, snorting. “Do what you think is convenient!” He exclaimed, raising his voice. “Don't raise your voice at me Gerald Lennox, I'm not to blame for your bad mood, go and find someone to take it out on, not me. "Myriam!" he yelled loudly. She hung up the call and left him speechless. Lennox's assistant dropped her pencils in shock, since no one in the company was ever capable of questioning him, let alone leaving him with the word in his mouth. “What do you want?” He growled. "They

"You said nothing had happened between you and that woman. You lied?" he questioned.Gerald rolled his eyes and snorted."I didn't lie, between her and me, nothing happened that night, things happened later," he lied.Kevin watched him intently.“But what a strange relationship, I remember that you threw the severance money in his face, and now it turns out that they are getting married.” He shook his head, “now I repeat what I've always thought about you, you're crazy.” He laughed.Gerald looked from that place at his fiancée, in the midst of several journalists, his skin crawled completely."I have to go with Myriam," he commented, striding closer."We're not going to comment on our romance," he heard her say, "this meeting was held to celebrate the purchase of Shipmovier," she said, "so if you guys want to talk about the company, I'll be happy to answer, if you ask something about my private life, I will refuse to answer." She smiled and looked at Gerald.Lennox released a sigh."
Gerald arrived home, thoughtfully took off his tie and jacket, took Tony's photograph in his hands, and looked at him tenderly."I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, much less let that bastard Raymond Wilson take my place," he said, "we're going to be together, and I'm going to teach you so many things." He blinked and his voice cracked. “I will not be the same as my father,” he assured.Then he looked at the photo of Myriam, and snorted, there he understood that this woman would have to go beyond the walls of her intimacy, that she would have to narrate part of her life, so that the romance would sound like reality."I hope you don't bother me, Myriam Bennett, you're an expert at that," she emphasized, then picked up her iPad and began typing her terms. "There will be no intimacy," was the first thing he wrote down. “You will not make a fool of me in front of my employees”, he wrote: “You will not give me orders either, you will have to obey my rules”, was the third thing he wrote,
Anne nodded and turned around, Gerald sighed deeply, knowing that she wouldn't hesitate to tell Helena about Tony. Myriam watched him closely."Don't you live in the same house as your mother?" she asked curiously.Gerald invited her to take a seat in a room in the middle of the large garden."Years ago, my brother and I were teenagers," he began to speak, and his voice trailed off, "we were returning with my mother from school, she was driving, and we had an accident," he said.Myriam felt her breath hitch and Gerald's chest rise and fall."What happened?" she questioned."My brother... He passed away," he explained and stood up, handed the baby to Myriam, and went to a wooden bar, with trembling hands he poured himself a glass of water."Are you okay?" Myriam asked curiously.Gerald pressed his eyelids together, inhaling and exhaling several times."I'm fine," he answered, "I don't like to be consoled or pity me," he said, and he was the same cold and despotic man again.Myriam wasn
"Lady Helena!" Anne exclaimed agitated, entering the lady's bedroom."What happened?" She questioned, furrowing her brow.Anne took a deep breath."Mr. Gerald is at home with a woman, and she has a baby... She looks just like him," she said."What thing?" Helena inquired, narrowing her eyes in disbelief, "help me get into the wheelchair and take me, I want to meet that child," she begged.Anne immediately obeyed her boss's orders, helped her up onto the chair, combed her long black hair, and led her out of the room.*****Meanwhile, after exposing his rules, Gerald gave Myriam and the child a tour of the house's gardens, he wanted her to become familiar with the environment.He carried the child in his arms, the little one focused his bluish gaze on everything that moved and caught his attention, pointing with his little fingers at the birds, the water that ran through that lagoon, the flowers."It's very curious," Gerald commented, and looked at him tenderly."He's a baby, he's learn
"She blames me for the accident," he said, "I can't remember what happened, I have a kind of mental blackout from that moment, but she says that I had to do it," he said with a tremulous voice.Myriam pressed her lips together."If it makes you feel better, my mother also blames me for abandoning my father, she says I should have stopped him, manipulated him to be by our side," she explained, "she doesn't forgive me for not begging him to leave his lover," she confessed and took a sip of wine."How do you feel about your mother?" He inquired and fixed his deep gaze on her.Myriam took a deep breath."Pity, sadness, I tried to get closer, but he rejects me, I feel sorry for his situation, but I can't do more," she said. "And you?Gerald fell silent, drank from his glass, and evaded the question."I think we have everything ready to start the fake," he said, "tomorrow you'll bring your things, we'll live together."Myriam took a deep breath."I forgot to tell you that my friend Elsa mus
