Just as the CEO had warned her, she had to change her wardrobe, and that's why, after leaving work, she was accompanied by Michel, her coworker, because according to her, she had no sense of fashion and she would help her. They went to a boutique in the Big Apple, and Natalia felt powerless spending her meager savings on just 3 outfits. She felt it was a waste, but she knew that she would recover it in the next fortnight.
She had been calling her husband for days, but she still didn't know about him. She knew he was fine since he often posted the places he traveled to. Sometimes she wondered if she was really still married since it had been more than 7 months since her husband had touched her, even when he was at home. She felt very alone in that big apartment.
She had no family; she was an orphan of her mother, and she never knew her father. Her only family was her aunt, but she preferred not to visit her since they always ended up arguing because she always asked her for money with the excuse that she had taken care of her and that's why she had remained a spinster.
Early the next day, she went out very willing to demonstrate why she would be the new sales manager.
"You can't go through, miss, not without a prior appointment or authorization..." said the pretty receptionist.
"What are you talking about? I work here," said Natalia.
"Natalia!!!!??? What the hell!!!" said the receptionist incredulously.
Natalia just laughed and continued on her way and thought that her first job was done, and it was to look different to everyone.
She arrived at what would be her new office. She was so nervous that she felt like she was out of breath.
"Now you're the one who looks bad..." said her friend Camila.
"Really? Do I look very bad?" Natalia asked, very sad.
"Of course not, silly, you look incredibly good, that outfit suits you perfectly... mm I say it for your face, it shows that you've had a bad night."
"Yes, it's true, I'm very nervous."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, you know how to do your job, and the meeting is just a formality, nothing out of this world... don't worry, I'll be there too."
She smiled more calmly; having a friend at that meeting was very good for Natalia.
The morning passed quietly; she tried to be as organized as possible. Later, she was notified that the meeting was about to begin. The nerves returned, but she gathered her courage to go to the 20th floor to be there.
As she entered, all eyes turned to her. She felt small in the face of so many gazes, but even more so when, in the main chair, intense honey-colored eyes were watching her even more than the day before.
Maximiliano couldn't help but see the girl who had just crossed the door. She was really different from the girl he had seen the day before. This girl was wearing a wine-colored pencil skirt to the knee, a very detailed white blouse fitted to her body, black stiletto heels, and a cute, finely styled chignon that matched those beautiful gray eyes and thick, red-painted lips, as well as extremely white skin and hair as black as night, and what he really noticed was her huge rear end that looked quite toned, especially with that type of skirt she was wearing... He noticed it so much that he felt uncomfortable realizing that his friend had woken up at this event...
The uncomfortable comment from the Vice President's assistant brought him out of his thoughts. It was a slight whisper, but he could hear it very well.
"Even if a monkey dresses in silk, it's still a monkey..." and she laughed very softly.
"Well, it's a cute monkey, don't you think?"
Added the CEO's assistant, the imposing Camila.
"Of course, if you say so..." added Tania with disdain.
The meeting ended without any complications. At the end of it, everyone was leaving for their respective positions. Natalia was doing the same when a thick, sexy voice spoke to her almost close to her ear as he passed by her.
"I'll wait for you in my office. I need to talk to you."
"I understand..." said Natalia, with her skin really crawling at Max's proximity.
She could feel a tingling in her stomach, and she felt that her cheeks had changed from pale to a red like the color of her lips.
She went to the CEO's office once she collected her belongings.
