Chapter 5

• Arturo was filled with anger, feeling his body tense up more and more, while Paulo remained silent, observing everything.
• Hailey started washing the dishes.
• "Paulo, go ahead and make sure everything is in order," Arturo ordered.
• "As you wish, sir. Hailey, thank you again and have a good day," Paulo replied.
• "Thank you, Mr. Paulo," she said with a smile.
• Her smile disappeared when Paulo left, leaving her alone with Arturo.
• He took out a cigarette and started smoking while watching Hailey.
• "Do you like Paulo?" Arturo asked.
• Hailey remained calm, although deep down she wished he would leave. She continued with her back turned.
• "I am only grateful to Mr. Paulo. Why do you ask?" she replied.
• "Come on, I'm not an idiot," Arturo said, taking a drag from his cigarette and blowing out the smoke. "You know who I am, that's why you got in the car."
• "I didn't see your condition, sir. Believe me, I don't know who you are. All I know is that you're my boss, and that's it," Hailey said.
• "You know I have money, that's why you parked in my car," Arturo said.
• Hailey turned around and dried her hands.
• "To be honest, sir, if I had known who you were or who owns that car, I wouldn't have gotten in," she said. "And your money doesn't concern me. Why should I be interested in money? You wouldn't notice me, and I would never notice you. So what's your problem?"
• Arturo squeezed the cigarette and took a deep drag.
• "It's not that I notice you, little girl, but that you notice me! I'm irresistible to everyone," he said.
• "Oh, really? Well, too bad not everyone has the same taste," Hailey replied.
• "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Arturo? I need to finish cleaning," she added.
• Arturo extinguished the cigarette and approached her. Hailey found herself against the wall by the sink.
• She tried to remain calm, but her heart raced.
• "What do you want, Hailey?" he said, getting very close to her.
• "Please be more specific, sir," she replied.
• "Damn it, Hailey, I have no patience," he said.
• "If I knew, I would answer," she said.
• "Do you like Paulo or me?" he asked.
• His question left her stunned.
• "Neither, sir. I am just an employee, and you are my bosses," she replied.
• "I hope you never forget your position," he said.
• "And I hope you never forget that people shine with their own light when they strive," she said.
• "Hahaha, you would never be in my position," he said mockingly.
• "According to you, sir. Can you please let me do my job?" Hailey asked.
• "I am your boss," Arturo said.
• Hailey swallowed nervously.
• Arturo brought his face closer to hers, and she could feel his breath.
• He was so close...
• "Hailey is driving me crazy," Arturo thought to himself, while having her so close.
• He moved closer to her lips, feeling the addiction to kiss her again. He noticed that she unconsciously closed her eyes, unaware of the effect she had on him. He was aroused.
• He started kissing her, but it was clumsy. He didn't know how to do it, which only excited him more.
• He heard her gasp and tried to maintain his wild rhythm, his breath becoming shallower.
• He pulled away from her and said mockingly, "I told you I'm irresistible."
• She opened her eyes wide and said, "I thought a girl like me wouldn't even tickle you," as she looked at his manhood. She immediately regretted saying it, but he made her say those things.
• He smiled bitterly, "Are you talking about this?" He took her small hand and placed it on his member.
• She jumped, it was the first time she had touched a man's intimate part, even with his pants on.
• She nervously withdrew her hand.
• "I should find your little friends who can satisfy your desires."
• "Why? If I have my employee, how much do you want, Hailey? I will pay you fairly for your services."
• Her eyes welled up with tears.
• "It's a shame, sir, that I am not for sale. Only a few men like you think of such things."
• He held her closer.
• "Be careful how you speak to me."
• "Just because you're my boss doesn't give you the right to disrespect me."
• "Don't be childish. If that's what you want, be grateful that I'm willing to pay you."
• Hailey couldn't take it anymore and slapped him, even surprising herself.
• Arturo grabbed her hand tightly.
• "Never dare to touch my face again in your fucking life!"
• "And you, don't disrespect me! I ask you kindly to let go, you're hurting me."
• "You're just an employee, never forget that."
• Arturo let go and looked at her with disdain.
• Hailey fell to the ground, curled up and cried. He hurt her so much.
• She continued cleaning while singing to ease the pain in her heart.
• She arrived at the mansion, tired, and went to her room to take a bath.
• "What a girl to make me so angry that I should fire her."
• "Are you talking about Hailey?" Paulo asked.
• "Don't pay attention to me."
• "Admit that you like her."
• "No way."
• "I hope you don't regret it later, Arturo," Paulo said.
• After a long day of work, Arturo walked to his room but felt the urge to go to Hailey's room without being seen.
• He closed the door slowly upon entering and heard Hailey singing.
• "She has a beautiful voice," he thought to himself.
• He approached and reached the bathroom, finding the door slightly open.
• He was left speechless seeing her naked, water cascading down her beautiful body.
• She was slim, with a small waist and a well-defined buttocks as if she worked on her body.
• He felt the desire to enter and make her his, but he was about to leave when he heard a knock on the door.
• Arturo quickly hid under the bed.
• "Just a moment!" Hailey shouted as she came out with a towel covering her body.
• "Who is it?"
• "It's me, Iliana."
• Hailey half-opened the door and peeked her head out.
• "Iliana, nice to see you."
• "You seemed busy, I'm sorry."
• "Don't worry, tell me."
• "The guys invited me to go out this weekend."
• "Great, Iliana, that way I won't feel alone."
• "I almost forgot, look, I brought this plant for you. You can plant it in the backyard, there's space."
• "Iliana, thank you so much, it's beautiful."
• "You're welcome, see you later."
• Hailey closed the door and placed the plant on the bedside table.
• "Now I can feel that I'm close to you, Mom, Dad, I miss you," she sighed and started changing. She had work to do. She took her plant and left the room.
• Arturo, who had been waiting under the bed, couldn't help but watch her as she dressed.
• When he heard her leave, he came out from under the bed.
• As he walked out...
• "What are you doing in Hailey's room, Arturo?" Rosita asked.
• "Don't think badly, Rosita, I'm just looking for her."
• She stared at him and said, "She's in the backyard. Why are you looking for her?"
• "I'm throwing a party and I need her to organize everything."
• "It's your house, yes, but I don't want to hear that you've entered her room again. I know you..."
• "Rosita, stop the drama. She's not my type."
• It was the weekend, and Hailey was happy for the first time. She was going out and already had friends.
• They took a taxi to a bar where they sell all kinds of fast food and alcoholic drinks.
• "Do you like the place, Hailey?" asked Chelsito.
• "Yes, it's great," replied Hailey.
• "Iliana, I'm glad you could come," said Chelsito.
• "Thank you for inviting me, guys," Iliana responded.
• "Why are you stressed?" asked Chelsito.
• "It's nothing!" replied Arturo.
• "It's the weekend for hunting and you're in a bad mood, that's unusual for you," Paulo commented.
• "Enough, don't start," Arturo snapped. "Okay... but tell me, is it because of Hailey? She went to a bar today."
• "Stop it, you're just like Rosita. I'm not interested in her at all, she's just an ordinary and messy woman to me," Arturo replied.
• "Okay," Paulo said.
• After a few minutes of silence, Chelsito asked, "Which one is it?"
• "Which one what?" Arturo replied.
• "Which bar?" Chelsito teased.
• "Don't make fun of me, Paulo," Arturo warned.
• "I'm laughing at your stupidity, but I warn you, if you hurt Hailey, I'll give you a beating," Paulo threatened.
• "That won't happen because I won't have anything to do with her," Arturo assured.
• "Why are you looking at me so much, Iliana?" Hailey asked.
• "It's just that you look different, like another Hailey. You look beautiful," Iliana complimented.
• "Thank you, Iliana. You also look gorgeous, but let me tell you a secret," Hailey whispered.
• "Of course, tell me," Iliana replied.
• "This is who I really am. Well, I already told you my whole story and that I studied finance, but I also had a small modeling career. No one knows, I had just started when the war happened," Hailey revealed.
• "Oh, that's a shame. You would have been the best. Why don't you go back to modeling? You're beautiful and young. You can be successful here," Iliana suggested.
• "I've thought about it, Iliana, but I want to finish my finance career," Hailey replied.
• "Look, you should consider that the money you earn as a model can pay for your studies," Iliana advised.
• "You're right," Hailey agreed.
• "Look who's here!" Chelsito exclaimed.
• "What is the boss doing here?" Luis asked.
• "He's probably here to see what he can conquer," Paulo speculated.
• "That's terrible!" Luis exclaimed.
• "I've seen enough, let's go. It's very strange for such a well-known man like you to be in this place," Paulo suggested.
• "I'm not leaving from here," Arturo responded angrily.
