Chapter 4 The Dilemma
- Already at Gerard's house he starts talking to his friend:
- “You went crazy Jeremy, how are you going to make that announcement on social media. Marriage is a serious thing when you are going to take life wisely.”
- “Now, friend, I had enough of a lecture a while ago at my parents' house.”
- “I'm sorry. But at least you wouldn't have published it on networks when candidates are what you have plenty of, dear friend.”
- “I confess that I don't see myself married, much less with children.”
- “Although evil tongues say that you are already a dad.”
- “That Sandra's son is not mine for God's sake until I'm going to say it, if she is a married woman. Although I confess that I was very passionate about her for a long time, she is a very sensual woman.”
- “You're crazy. Look, the media is bursting at the seams, you are the news of the moment, everyone is waiting for the announcement of your engagement and, above all, who you will choose as your fiancée.”
- “Help me what to do please?”
- “I'm honest with you, I don't know how to help you, Jeremy. You're up to your neck in mud.”
- “Brave consolation that you offer me, Gerard.”
- “I better go get some drinks.”
- “It's okay Gerard.”
- He relaxes at his friend's house, while thinking about the talk he had with his parents. He has many things to think about. Choosing a woman to be his wife is not an easy task, especially for him who has tried everything in feminine matters.
- Remember the numerous lovers who privately promised marriage just to get them into bed. His family future was at stake, he must soon choose a partner for life and the mother of his future children.
- *****
- The next day…
- He gets up and on the other side of the bed was Sandra, who is a married woman for whom he feels great affinity and the supposed mother of his son. She wakes up smiling after having a passionate night with Jeremy and tells him:
- “Honey, I'm going to prepare breakfast. I go to the kitchen.”
- “It's not necessary for that, I have service. It's better that you go home, your husband is waiting for you," Jeremy tells her sternly.
- “Why do you treat me like that? After last night, I thought I would be the one to be your wife, if we even have a child.”
- “For God's sake, Sandra, don't be ridiculous, you would be the last woman I would choose as a wife. You already have a family, go take care of it.”
- “You are jealous? If you want, I'll talk to my husband and ask for a divorce right away so my son and I can come live with you.”
- “Do not make me laugh. You didn't understand that I would never marry you, I'm going to take a bath, please take your things and go.”
- Jeremy's behavior fills her with rage, so she was not going to allow him to get his way, she was going to do everything possible to ensure that this wedding never took place, if it is not with her Jeremy will never marry anyone. This is what Sandra pointed out in her head.
- *****
- Meanwhile Victoria…
- She gets ready and leaves quickly to go to the hospital for a moment before going to work and Sonia is very kindly helping her so that her work routine is effective. He asks about his sister at the hospital reception:
- “Good morning, miss, I'm Hannah Tucson's sister. Is the doctor who treats you available?”
- “No this. But he told her that his sister is already in intensive care and that she urgently needs surgery. "I'm sorry," the nurse shrugs her shoulders.
- "My God, how will I get that money now," Vicky mutters, crying.
- “Miss, are you okay?” the nurse consoles her.
- “No, thanks anyway. I have to go,” she rushes out of the hospital to go to work.
- Arriving at the company he sees Joshua who also works at the same place.
- “Hello dear, how is Hannah?”
- “Maybe Joshua needs the operation or he's going to die.”
- “Oh my GOD. Come with me let's get a coffee.”
- They enter the cafeteria and Joshua announces the following:
- “I know you're very bad. But I want you to relax a little, I tell you that our boss made an announcement on his social networks, it has more than 2 million comments and I like it, look at it for yourself—he shows her the notification on his cell phone.”
- "Mr. Jeremy is very media-savvy," says Victoria.
- “Yes it is. He's looking for a wife, he's crazy, he's calling me here very early and he wants to see me to talk about it.”
- “You are its creative director and also the one who takes care of its image. He will surely make another announcement.”
- “Surely. Cheer up Vicky, I promise you that in a couple of days we will get that money so that Hannah can have surgery, we will not lose her, trust God.”
- "Thank you, Joshua, I don't know what I would do without you." She hugs him, taking refuge from her sadness.
- *****
- Jeremy enters the company, everyone immediately murmurs about the announcement on the networks, he tells everyone:
- “You're looking at me so much, get to work, that's what I'll pay you for,” everyone immediately runs to their jobs.
- Likewise, his secretary with whom he had also had an affair eventually told Sonia:
- “Linda calls Joshua and Victoria to my office. Quickly,” and he spanks Sonia who opens her eyes in surprise.
- "Right away, sir," she says very seriously.
- Sonia agreed to go out with him and have a fleeting romance with her boss out of necessity since her mother was very sick and Jeremy helped her pay for her illness in exchange for sex and having a good time with him. Deep down, Sonia is a noble woman and very efficient at her job who fell into the clutches of her boss due to her precarious situation at the beginning.
- Already in Jeremy's office, Victoria and he make eye contact, their gazes immediately meet and Jeremy gives her a big smile. Joshua quickly glares at him and Jeremy takes his eyes off of Victoria.
- “Victoria, I want you to write down the following, please, my itinerary for today. I want to do a live show, I'm not going to give an interview to television or any media, for that I have my news staff, so I want you active Joshua Where is Jimmy?”
- “He's in the dressing room putting together everything for your outfit. I imagined that you would do something like that, a live event for the audiovisual media.”
- “I love that you always take my ideas one step forward. I made no mistake in assigning you as my creative director and media advisor Joshua.”
- “Thank you Jeremy.”
- “Well, enough of the flattery, let's get to work. In this interview I will announce how I love the woman of my dreams. I will become richer with all this theater Joshua.”
- “There's a reason they call you the king, you measure everything you touch and turn it into gold. Let's get you ready to go live with your fans right now.”
- “Are the teams ready?” Jeremy asks.
- “Everything is more than ready and willing Jeremy, not only the equipment but also the staff.”
- “Wow, I love you Joshua,” Jeremy smiles.
- “Did you score Victory?” Jeremy asks Vicky “Yes sir.”
- “That's right, we talk non-stop, remember, you always have to be one step ahead of me, otherwise I'll fire you immediately. I don't like slow people; I hate them,” Jeremy warns him.
- "Understood sir," and looks conspiratorially at Joshua who had already warned him about Jeremy's personality.
