Natalia couldn't help but look at her, she was extremely beautiful,
close to six feet tall, an emblematic figure with fair skin, beautiful green eyes, thin and well-defined lips, and long hair that blended with the sun's rays. She commanded attention with her mere presence, so much so that Natalia felt insignificant beside her. It was no wonder, as she was the top model, the angelic Priscila Blanchester.
"Hello," Priscila said to Natalia with a smile, before walking on with Max.
"My love, I hope I'm not interrupting, but remember we have a reservation for lunch together," she said, giving her fiance a chaste kiss on the lips.
"Of course not, you never interrupt," he said with a big smile.
Natalia didn't wait any longer and left the office without a word. She ran to the bathroom to splash water on her face and regain her composure.
"(What the hell just happened? What was that? God, what was that?)" she thought over and over again.
The afternoon passed without incident. At the end of the workday, everyone was leaving their offices when Camila and Michel approached Natalia.
"How about we go celebrate your new promotion?" Michael said.
"Sorry, I don't think I can," Natalia murmured.
"Oh, yes you can. You're going, no excuses. What else are you going to do alone in your cold apartment? Your husband isn't here, he's never here. What are you doing locked up, huh?!" Camila said, scolding Natalia.
"Yeah, Nat, it's true, you can't lock yourself away. You're young, you're only 25, don't waste your life like that..." Michael added.
"Okay, okay, stop scolding me, I'll go, I'll go," Natalia said.
The girls went out to have fun. They rarely had the opportunity, so these moments were precious to them. They arrived at the club and prepared to enjoy themselves. After a while, Camila commented:
"I love, love my boss's girlfriend, you know?"
"What are you saying?" Michel asked incredulously.
"No, silly, don't get the wrong idea, I don't like her like that, I just love her because whenever she comes to the office, I can leave early because she takes my grumpy boss away..." she said happily.
"It's true, he must really love her, he always drops everything for her," Michel said.
Natalia listened quietly and couldn't help but ask,
"And how long have they been together?"
"About 2 years, in fact, they're engaged, they're getting married in the summer..." Camila added.
"Wow, that's beautiful, they're the perfect couple, I've seen them together from afar and they look really good together..." Michel said.
Natalia just listened, it was logical that someone like them looked so good together. If what her friends were saying was true, she felt jealous since she hadn't even received a call from her husband in a long time, and with that in mind, she decided to call him.
But, she received no answer, which made her even more nostalgic.
The next morning, she woke up with a terrible hangover, but she couldn't afford to miss work, so she dragged herself to the shower. Once ready, she put on a red pencil skirt, a black blouse, and matching heels, and styled her hair in a high ponytail with just a touch of makeup.
She arrived at the grand building and headed towards the elevator.
"Hey, you have to say hello out of politeness at least, don't you think..." the receptionist said angrily.
"Fine...good morning, Lucero..." Natalia said mockingly.
"For someone who's married, you're very bitter, don't you think... or has he gotten tired of you and abandoned you..." the blonde said, returning the mocking tone.
"Drop dead..." Natalia said angrily and headed to the elevator, she wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of making fun of her.
Once inside, she couldn't help but get nervous when the elevator stopped for the CEO and the Vice President to enter.
"(Just act normal)," she said to herself, before greeting them.
"Good morning, bosses..." she said.
"Ms. [Last Name], likewise..." Max said in a cold and curt tone.
She felt like time in the elevator was eternal, so much so that she began to break out in a cold sweat. It stopped on the 10th floor and she was surprised.
"I have business here, President, I'll see you later."
"Yes, Kevin, don't be long, understand? We have pending matters..." Max said.
Natalia became more tense when she noticed that it was just the two of them.
"You look very good today too, Natalia..." Max said, approaching her ear.
"Thank you, sir..." she said, blushing.
He chuckled lightly and approached her and said,
"I'll be waiting for you in my office...." before giving her a kiss on the cheek and leaving the elevator towards his office.
