He was connected with his best friend through an online call.“Are you kidding? We both reviewed all those papers and saw that there was nothing out of order”“I am also a bit surprised with what I found, but it is a matter that must be solved as soon as possible if we do not want it to bring consequences or a stronger headache. The truth is that I did not want to inform you of this, because I know that now you are going to get involved in this matter and it would ruin the rest you are looking for there”"I know. You can also tell my lawyer if something stronger comes up, for my part I still have no plans to return to New York yet" The tycoon ran his hands over his head, full of frustration and overwhelm, although he tried to remain calm despite how bad what his best friend told him looked bad.“Okay, I'll tell your lawyer so he's up to date. I will also take care of this matter.""OK. How is Amina?"“Well, she's also very busy with university affairs, you know. These are the most dem
"Don't look for excuses. Who fills up and feeds himself with just a few cookies? I think you should even make yourself another sandwich.""That?! I'm not going to make another sandwich, haven't you seen my figure? I see myself fat""You're not fat. Who told you such nonsense?“It is that it is not necessary that someone tell me. I just look in the mirror and I know perfectly well that I have gained a few extra kilos and that is because I have broken many rules that I set myself to stay in shape, and look at me. The opposite has happened” she told him and stuck out her bottom lip before continuing to eat, taking huge bites of what was left of her monstrous sandwich.“You are beautiful, you always look incredibly good, you should take my opinion into account”"Are you objective? No, obviously you're going to say that I'm fine and perfect and tell me everything you can think of with nice words so that I don't feel bad and like a fool I'm going to believe it because I love you” she rolled
“Okay, I like that you have so much confidence in yourself. Do you know if your boyfriend was also very busy? I say this because Rashid apparently spent the whole night working or fell asleep outside, I don't know.""Alaric too, something happened with the company, some incident but they were solving it as soon as possible, anyway you shouldn't worry about it""Yes, I'm worried and thinking about it, I should also change our plan and return to New York sooner" he deflated on the bedspread."Oh no, don't say that. I already told you that you shouldn't feel anxious about that, it's something that can be resolved, maybe I shouldn't have told you and I shouldn't mention it to Rashid, he'll surely tell you that nothing's wrong so you don't feel bad” she covered her mouth."What, and so you pretend that I don't feel guilty?"“You have nothing to do with what happened in the company, Victoria”“I urged Rashid to come to Ireland. So directly or indirectly if I have to see, if he were there th
“No, we are not angry. He's been like this a while ago because I told you about the problem that happened in the company and I shouldn't have, although now I think he got more angry because of what happened at night than because I told you. He does want to have children and I feel that this could be a problem in our relationship by disagreeing, we are both in different positions and I don't want to hurt his feelings or destroy that dream he has of becoming a father one day. But... What will happen if I never develop that sense of urgency to also be a mom? I love Alaric with all my being and my goal is for both of us to be happy and comfortable with each other, the truth is that I had never been in this situation ""Well, it's logical that they're just like that, because they never brought it up. I think they should talk more about the matter and come to a conclusion.” Amina ran her hands over her face in frustration and returned her gaze to the screen."This is not easy as it seems to
“For now you don't need to know my name” continued that voice, that of a female, so fine and refined “Pay attention to what I'm going to tell you, and I hope you take it seriously, it's not a joke. It was a mistake that you continue with Rashid, he and you are not from the same world, you do not belong to the same circle, you have to get away from him, nothing good will happen if you are with Rashid"“Who are you and why are you telling me all these things? Tell me your name!"“No, I already told you that it is not necessary, I am only telling the truth. They are not meant to be together. Get away from him while you can, do it" he asked, almost like an order he had to comply with.He got so scared that he couldn't say another word and dropped the phone. She didn't want Rashid to find her in that state when she returned, so she decided that before her return, she would be as if nothing had happened. I was afraid to tell Rashid. She didn't know if she should tell him, it could all be in
“I knew that something was happening, now I know. That's what it's about, I knew. Alaric , I don't have that illusion now, maybe it will come later. Believe me, I'm not so infatuated with the idea anymore, it doesn't stop scaring me, but I find it a little more attractive. I'm serious. Let's just not talk about it anymore, I feel that since we did it we started to feel bad, don't you think it's silly to be like this, to let it affect us?" he inquired to make him reflect and yes, he had succeeded."I think so. It means that you do want to have children, right?“Victoria is in a very beautiful stage, I feel happy for her. I feel like I could be like this too and I would experience the same thing as her. A son of the two would be something beautiful. Of course I would, later, not now, Alaric .""He must have said something really nice to you to change your mind, right?" He launched.“It was not like that, but yes, what he told me made me see things in a different way. I think I should ha
Sleep, that's what he wanted, sleep over and over again. The only way out, on the pillow was fear, one that returned inevitably in the morning. Again he had to face it, a problem that was becoming very tiresome."I'm back, I already made you sleepy. Have you suddenly become drowsy?”“No, I was just waiting for your return, thanks for the welcome, I promise to eat everything tomorrow. Now I want to rest""OK. Do not worry it's alright. I'll leave this here, and I'm leaving. Good night"He kissed her on the forehead."You too. A kiss""Yes, see you tomorrow""You promise?" pouted."Yes, I promise, Victoria"He gave her a smile.When he rose with the sun. I know felt a little disoriented. He had a slight feeling that he had seen Amina last night. Where was it? He blinked a few more times, until he was in the room he shared with Rashid. No, nothing had been an illusion, they were already in New York. Back in her country, and she was relieved to be back. She sat on the bed, somewhat pensiv
The stranger also took her order, by then Victoria had finished hers, and as soon as it happened, she decided to leave the cafe. It had already been more than thirty minutes since he left home. The convenient thing was that he returned to the apartment. And with all that paranoia she felt, she didn't feel so safe on the outside anymore. A taxi passed by, he immediately boarded it and gave him the address of the building. On the way, Amina called him.“I'm going to your flat, I didn't have classes, the teacher got sick and there wasn't time to get a substitute, like the other day. I don't know if it's luck or not, but great, because I get to spend the morning with you. Do you want me to buy something?""No, it is not necessary. Did you have something very important to deliver today?” he inquired, letting her know that he was interested in his stability at the university.“No, but you never know, sometimes it happens that without having a plan, the teacher announces a surprise exam.
