THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

Upon arriving at the building where Amber lives, Christopher parked his Ferrari and spoke to the security guard, asking him about her or her mother Sabrina Marin. He replied that the lady was there, but they had to let him know.

He nodded his head and waited to be authorized to enter. The guard spoke with Amber’s mother, but she refused to receive him. For this reason, he asked to speak directly with her, and so the call was put through.

-Good evening, Sabrina! Please, let me come up to talk to you, I promise I won’t take much of your time -proposed Christopher with a hoarse and pleading voice.

-If you came to see Amber, she is not gone from the City,” she assured him.

-No, I came to talk to you. I already heard that Amber left,” he confirmed, pleading again, “Please, let me come up!

-Okay! Put the watchman on the phone,” she replied.

Talking to the watchman, he let him pass, going upstairs promptly. At the door of the apartment, Sabrina was waiting for him and was very distant with him. It was the opposite of when she saw him before, because she was very fond of him, in some cases even agreeing with him over her own daughter.

-Good night! And again, excuse me,” he said, a little embarrassed.

Just at that moment, the eviction order he gave her lawyers to get her out of the apartment, not caring if they threw her things into the street, came to his mind. This memory made him feel worse than he already did.

Afterwards, he didn’t know where that stopped, at that moment he didn’t want anything to do with Amber, or her. “So many mistakes made! All for not investigating,” he thought, feeling miserable, wretched in front of her, who looked much thinner and a bit aged.

She had always been a young, cheerful, very beautiful woman, hence the exotic, extraordinary beauty that Amber had. She was a faithful and exact copy of her mother. Seeing her like this affected him.

-Please, come in! -She suggested to him, to prevent her neighbors from finding out about the problems they had faced in the past.

-Thank you, Sabrina! -he replied, almost unable to speak. Because memories of everything he did three years ago against her and her daughter unjustly came to his mind.

She cordially invited him to sit on the sofa in the entrance hall, offering him something to drink.

-If you have some of the coffee you usually make, I’d be delighted. And thank you,” he added, feeling less nervous. This was a strange sensation for him, nothing made him feel nervous, except this new Sabrina.

-Yes, I do! Please wait! I’ll serve you,” she answered, being polite and kind to the one who hurt them so much.

-Thank you! -He replied, noting how warm, comfortable and spacious the apartment was, as well as how some things were lined with plastic and cloth. When she arrived, with a cup of coffee, she asked him….

-Are you moving in? -he asked, surprised.

-No,” she answered dryly, without further explanation.

-Does Amber live with you or not? -asked the bold and jealous man.

-Yes, she lives with me! She just had to travel for work reasons,” she added, without pretending to tell him where she was.

-Does that mean she’s going back to Santiago? -he questioned, trying to get the information he wanted.

-Is it from a special client? Did she go with him? -Christopher questioned again, wanting to know exactly why Amber left right after she had been with him.

-Why do you want to know so much about my daughter? Why are you looking for her? -She asked with doubt and fear. “How long are you going to keep hurting Amber? -She replied with displeasure and rejection.

-Sabrina, I don’t want to hurt her, I still love her! -he confessed with sincerity and satisfaction.

-I mean, you love her? -Sabrina questioned incredulously.

“And for that, you sent her to jail? Slandering her, defaming her, accusing her of a crime she didn’t commit. For which she lost nineteen months of her life, locked up in jail,” she concluded angrily.

-I am not guilty of that, Sabrina,” he affirmed, placing the cup on the table in front of the sofa.

There was a trial, in which it was proven with evidence, that Amber gave the information that was confidential to Dylan Lugo,” he asserted.

-My God! You are definitely crazy and yet you say you love her,” Sabrina reproached, covering her face with both hands.

-Do you still think my daughter is capable of betraying you like that? Of stealing from you? For God’s sake, Christopher, get out of my house! She ordered, “And don’t ever come back, as long as you keep thinking like that.

-Please, Sabrina! That’s why I’m here, I want to clear this up once and for all -he expressed, with a pleading look.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t investigate at the time, whether they were lovers or not, but based on what I thought I saw at the Hotel Rosal,” he said.

-And yet you say you love her? How barbarous! -She exclaimed angrily, “I am astonished at the way you love!

“You are very noble! -Ironized Sabrina.

“After you defamed her, you discredited her, inventing a betrayal that was only in your mind. Now, you come as if nothing had happened, to say “that you love her” Hard face! -she shouted, with displeasure and aversion.

-I don’t know, what Amber has told you about it! It wasn’t until recently, however, that I discovered the truth,” he declared, pausing to continue.

“Someone made up that lie, they created a whole plot, they set me up to separate me from her and I fell for it,” he said angrily, “I’ve got a detective tracking down who sent the photos.

-I think it’s excellent! So that you can convince yourself with “proof” that my daughter is innocent,” she exclaimed, losing her sanity and tranquility a little, turning red in the face, which worried Christopher.

-What’s the matter, Sabrina, why are you like this? Your face is very red and I have the impression that it is hard for you to breathe,” he commented, approaching her to take her hands. However, she rejected his closeness.

-These are the after-effects of the disease I got from everything I suffered three years ago,” she confessed, “since you mercilessly attacked my daughter.

“Now I’m hypertensive, plus I got a transient ischemic attack. So all of a sudden, what I have is a problem with my blood pressure, I think it will be better for my health if you leave,” she asked.

-Yes, I think it would be better! -he agreed, separating from her, to walk towards the exit, but at that moment she stopped him…
