CHAPTER 34
I wanted to understand what was going on, a driver? In my family we don’t need a chauffeur so I don’t see the need for one since she doesn’t leave the house and we have already talked about how it will be when she attends her classes at the university, I will pick her up and I would only have to make some adjustments in my schedule for that.
-It will be a pleasure to work for your family, I promise you that your wife will be safe as long as I am your driver.
-Here’s a mistake.
The man stops smiling and it was when she came down with our daughter in her arms while saying that there was no mistake, she greets me with a chaste kiss on the lips and makes tender gestures speaking for our daughter.
-We need a driver and you know it.
-I told you no. -She looks at the chauffeur who looked scared and then leaves us alone. -We don’t need a driver.
-Eros, yes we do, I’ve been thinking everything through, I don’t want to drive while our daughter is little, I want to be near her all the time and that’s why I think it’s best if someone else drives for me, -that doesn’t convince me. -Understand that it’s not just for the present te, please think about our daughter, she won’t always be a child, she will grow up and when that happens you and I will be busy, she needs someone to go for her to school and you will want to know everything about her, won’t you? -If I look at it from that point of view, I guess you are right, and it must be someone you trust.
-And do you really trust him?
-Of course, he stayed with me last night, you forget? He didn’t even charge me in advance and waited for me until the morning for me.
-Yes, but because you hadn’t paid him yet.
-Maybe. But he’s reliable, believe me, and I’ve already met his wife, she’s a lovely woman, not to mention his son.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
-Wife and son? -Bianca, you should have at least thought that the chauffeur should be alone, not with family. Do you know what that implies?
-Yes, I know, he must move with his family to the house you’ll build in the old barn you wanted to burn down,” I can’t believe he says it so calmly. -Hey, it will only be for a couple of years, when he gets what he wants, I’ll help you with the expenses. I promise.
The problem is not the salary expenses, but the fact that I don’t know them and besides that, I don’t trust them. I prefer that she be the one to educate our daughter and not a nanny, of course Stacy is not a bad choice for a nanny, but I don’t want to be separated from her for so long, that kind of work is dangerous and will keep her away from home.
-Besides, you promised me a job to cover college expenses.
-I thought you had forgotten that.
-Never. I don’t want anyone to spend my life reminding me that it was you who got me this far, no. I don’t want anyone to know that it was because of you. I want everyone to know that it was because of my effort that I was able to graduate from criminology and you’ll see, I’m going to be the best.
-Well…” -I kiss her tenderly- “But if I give you a job… it would be the same, wouldn’t it?
She stops reciprocating my kisses and stops smiling while she lowers her head and moves her lips from one side to the other incessantly, she moves away with the baby making me think that I had gone too far with my joke, I think I just ruined the moment.
-I was only joking…
-You’re right, it would be the same. I’ll look for another job.
-Wait what?
I wanted to change her mind but she said she wouldn’t accept to work in my company since it would be the same, that I would be interfering in her future and she doesn’t want that, because my family is a nest of vipers, except me.
-Shit.
It was about ten o’clock at night, I had worked late to spend the weekend with my favorite women, besides, everything was ready for this weekend, our wedding.
It’s a surprise I have for her but she doesn’t know anything about it, she thinks it’s a family reunion that she has to go to dressed in white, a small ceremony, I don’t want to attract the attention of anyone who might want to spoil the surprise.
I had settled next to her, she was asleep and so was our daughter, I closed my eyes starting to feel the heaviness of sleep, I was about to sigh when one of the employees knocked on the door making me angry because it is late and I wanted to sleep.
-I hope it’s important or I swear I’m going to fire you for disturbing my sleep.
-Sir, Miss Melissa is downstairs.
-What? -She’s here again. -Take care of her, I don’t want her in this house.
-But sir…
I had to go downstairs, the maid explained to me the state she was in, I didn’t believe what she was saying, I thought it was surely another one of her lies but when I saw her I was puzzled, she looked deplorable, her clothes were in pieces, her bra was destroyed and I could see one of her breasts, I asked the maid to go get something to cover her up.
-What are you doing near my house?
She wipes her tears and upset she tells me that how can I ask her that when she has just been outraged, she starts to cry louder so I told her to calm down as I didn’t want her to wake Isabel up.
-Maite, find her some clothes, I think there are some of Bianca’s clothes she is not wearing yet.
The employee leaves again so I turned my back to her so she could take off her destroyed clothes, I heard someone coming down the stairs and that’s when Melissa told me that she had already covered herself, I turned around thinking about what I should do so I told her when I saw her again that I would call her parents to come and get her
-What the hell? You didn’t tell me you had covered up.
-I’m sorry, I just dropped my blanket.
-Really this, Eros?
“Fuck!”
I thought it was the maid coming down, but I was wrong and it was Bianca.
