Chapter 7

  • "I'm sorry boss, I tried to stop her, but the woman ignored my words" the secretary gives a brief explanation with her voice trembling and feeling how her poor heart beats as hard as if it were going to come out.
  • "Leave me alone with her," James orders and looks at Antonela, who smiles broadly.
  • "Yes, sir," he withdrew, leaving them alone.
  • "Give me a reason not to kick you out of my office," his voice is demanding, so much so that the smile faded.
  • "You need a wife urgently, and I need a man to watch over me, to give me everything I need, and as long as that's the case, I swear to you, Mr. Brown, you'll have everything with me," she proposes subtly.
  • "What makes you think I'd accept that proposal?"
  • "I'm the best match for a man, don't you see, I'm beautiful and glamorous, you'll be proud to take me to important events because I'll always be shiny, besides, whether you like it or not, your father will make you marry me and so as not to do it the hard way, I've come to propose to you to get to know each other better, invite me to dinner so you can see what I'm capable of" she slides her right hand over the fine wooden desk, until he reaches James' hands, which are together and so he gives a slight caress, but that was a total displeasure for James, because for him, women who are like that, are only good for the bed and that's it
  • "So, you're a virgin," he dared to say and looks at her determinedly to contemplate the gestures on her face.
  • "I am...
  • "That being so, undress and get on all fours.
  • "What...?"
  • "Do it, right now," he orders.
  • "That will be when we get married," he hastened to say.
  • "Anyway, we're going to get married, even if it's out of obligation, so do as I tell you" she sits hard and looks at him with disdain.
  • "It's getting too late," Mandy looks at the big clock on the wall.
  • "What do you mean, Mrs. Mandy?" asks Charlotte, seeing her a little worried.
  • "The Lord's luncheon is rare that it hasn't arrived.
  • "And why don't you send it to him?"
  • "Do you think so?" It's that everything must be in place or else he'll be mad at me.
  • "If you want, I can take him, Justin is sleeping, I fed him, besides, I don't think it will take me long.
  • "I don't know if it's a good idea" Mandy has some doubts.
  • "Don't worry, I'll do well, so you can be calmer.
  • "You've convinced me girl, wait and pack lunch, I'm not long" Mandy leaves very happy while Charlotte wanders in her thoughts.
  • Everything was so fast for her, maybe the fear of how James was going to react because she brought him his food, and also knowing where he works makes her nervous.
  • When you reach the large building, take a deep breath.
  • "Miss, I'll be waiting for you.
  • "Thank you, Mr. Owen, I'm not late" she gets out of the car carefully and then enters the building, she thought she was going to be stopped, but it wasn’t.
  • He looks around and reads the signs that the boss's floor is on the fifth floor, so he hurries up in the elevator.
  • "Oh God, why am I so nervous?" The best thing is that I hadn't come, I feel like I'm going to die, I want to run away," he stammers.
  • The elevator doors open, and she carefully steps out. Look sideways and everyone is focused on working.
  • She walks down the hallway, she feels like she walks down the hallway that would take her to hell, seeing a door that says CEO, she swallows thick.
  • "Come on, you can, besides, you should do it, the best thing is to have a good relationship with the child's father," she takes a deep breath and opens the door.
  • When the poor secretary sees her come in, she feels that it is the end of her work, all because she had gone to get some copies and now, she is with the noose around her neck, in serious trouble with her boss.
  • Charlotte remains static, she can't move any part of her body, it's as if her mind is clouded when she sees how James Brown has subdued the girl, he saw in the mansion.
  • Her heart even freezes for seconds and the tray where she was so careful so that everything would be kept in place, is shattered when it falls to the floor causing a disaster.
  • James quickly covers himself, while she had to turn around, but she felt like she couldn't take a step, her legs are kind of stiff and her eyes are watery. "Get out of here!" shouted James loudly, making her exalt.
  • "I... I'm sorry, Mr. Brown
  • The secretary who hears her boss's growl doesn't dare to go in. "Go stupid!" Antonela orders because she's ruining her moment.
  • Charlotte takes the courage to leave the office, the secretary seeing her so scared, and crying took pity on her.
  • "Come with me, miss," he suggests, taking her by the hand and leading her to the company cafeteria.
  • Luckily, he's almost alone, he makes her take a seat. "Why did you enter without permission?" she asks curiously, and Charlotte lowers her gaze, tears fall on the table causing a deep sigh in the secretary, "My name is Gema Carson, what's your name?"
  • "Charlotte..." Charlotte Hill's, I must go, I don't want to be here anymore.
  • "Are you a food delivery girl?" Charlotte shakes her head. Tell me something please, you owe it to me because I'm sure I've already lost my job." Charlotte looks up and wipes away her tears.
  • "Do you work for Mr. Brown?"
  • "Yes, for years, but I'm sure he's going to kick me out after this, he'd already warned me, but who orders him to make him so handsome and a millionaire, all these years that I've been working with him, women come in a lot with a stupid story, wanting to convince me to let them in," she sighs "Mr. Brown, you should pay more, because being his secretary is hell, and running his lovers is worse, they insult me and I'm the worst thing in the world, Hell! The only thing that comforts me is smoking cigarettes in the parking lot to relieve my stress.
  • "I'm so sorry miss, I didn't mean to, I'm new, I don't know much about this, I'm sorry I was so reckless.
  • "Hey, don't be sad, I should be because I'm going to be fired, thank God I don't have kids because I was on my knees begging the CEO to give me another chance, I'm sorry I talk a lot.
  • "Don't worry, I'm embarrassed, still, it's not fair, I'm to blame, I'd better leave.
  • "Wait, you didn't tell me what's important. Are you another lover of the CEO?"
  • "No, I would never have a relationship with a man as inhuman as him" Charlotte looks at Gemma, because she didn't tell her anything about it, but she can see her turn pale.
  • "What the are you doing here?" James' voice made her tremble. "Stop!" he orders his secretary glaring at her fiercely.
  • "Yes sir" she looks at Charlotte regretfully and stands up. "Call cleaning, I don't want to see my dirty office.
  • "Yes sir, I'm telling you to go clean up.
  • "No, I just need the implements, the one who has to clean up is Miss Hill's for meddling, or don't you plan to do it?" Charlotte nods her head.
  • "I asked you a damn question: What do you do in my company?" Is being the replacement mother making you think that you have rights over me, I'm going to cancel this shit, you're going to clean up and I don't want to see you in my life anymore.
  • He turns around, for some strange reason he wanted to lower his temper, but he couldn't control himself. "That's impossible, because I've already signed!" says Charlotte.
  • "I can do whatever I want!" Your signature isn't important, I can undo everything," he grabs her arm, and she tenses up, "You're coming with me right now, I'm not going to overlook your lack of respect," he leads her to his office.
  • "Let go of me, please!" she pleads.
  • "That's what happens to you for messing with a man like me!"
  • "Heartless!! Charlotte sobs
  • "Yes! And I'm not going to change for you or for anyone else," he makes her enter the office, "you have 10 minutes to leave everything spa
  • rkling and I hope that with this it is clear to you, that I am your owner.
