Narrator: The next day at the company, as usual, Alexa was already in her workplace.
Leandro: Good morning, Miss Alexa, please accompany me to my office, we need to talk.
Alexa: -with coffee in hand- Here is your coffee, sir, and I should inform you that there will be an inspection at the company today.
Leandro: -looking her up and down- am I really marrying a woman like this? -sighs sadly- I wanted to ask you if you thought about what I proposed last night?
Alexa: Yes, sir, I thought about it thoroughly, and well, here are the conditions I have in writing. If they seem acceptable to you, then I have no objection, and if you have your own written conditions, I would like to read them, please.
Leandro: -starts reading Alex's requests 😳🙄-
1. Within three years of marriage.
2. There will be no intimacy of any kind.
3. If Spouse A (meaning Leandro) tries to seduce Spouse B (meaning Alexa)\, a penalty of half a million dollars must be paid.
Leandro: 😳🤨 Are you crazy, Alexa? Half a million? Hahaha, I would never pay that amount for any woman. Let me make it clear to you why I chose you for this business.
Alexa: -looking serious-
Leandro: First, because I know you, and I know I can trust you and your discretion. Second, because in the six years we have worked together, you have never given me any improper thoughts. Don't take it personally, but you're not my type.
Alexa: -serious- Then there will be no problem with you signing with my conditions.
Leandro: -irritated- No, I have no problem, don't worry, I will sign with your conditions, but before that, you also have to read mine.
Alexa: Perfect, then give them to me, and I'll read them right away... -reading-
1. This marriage will only be a façade; therefore\, you will act like a real couple in public gatherings and celebrations\, including public displays of affection such as kisses\, hand-holding\, and affectionate gestures.
Alexa: -replicates- What? 😳 Public displays of affection? Kisses?
Leandro: Remember, appearances are important.
Alexa: Well, but we shouldn't overdo it, okay?
Leandro: You can rest assured, my dear, you don't generate that kind of desires in me.
Alexa: 🤨 -Continues reading-
2. Neither of us can interfere in the other's private life.
Alexa: I have no problem with you continuing to be the Don Juan that you are ☺️
Leandro: 🙄 -looking at her- Stubborn... Oh, there's something else. Once we are married, on that same day, you will leave for the United Kingdom. My mother will be there, and so will my sister and grandmother. There will be a spring fundraising party, and you must represent me well. This means you can no longer dress as you have been, okay?
Alexa: What's wrong with my clothes? And a sudden trip overnight, what's that about?
Leandro: Um, your clothes? Well, it could be that for your young age, you dress like you're 80 years old.
Alexa: Ahh 🤨... And I'm the stubborn one?
Leandro: Well, today I need you to take the day off and go shopping. You need to have clothes for the entire spring.
Alexa: Such a long time, so how long will I be there, more than three months?
Leandro: It's because, in addition to helping my mother, you will also cover the months my sister will be on her honeymoon. You will take her place in the company.
Alexa: Are you saying that I will be in charge of one of your family's advertising companies?
Leandro: Exactly, that's what I'm saying. My sister is getting married and will be away for three months, so you will cover that management position. ☺️ As I've said before, I trust you a lot, Alex, and I know you can handle this.
Alexa: 😳 This really took me by surprise.
Leandro: When you return, I will give you your vineyard that is already in the production process, okay?
Alexa: 😁 -hugs him-
Leandro: -returns the hug- Well, at least now you're starting to act like a girl your age ☺️
Alexa: -letting go immediately- I'm sorry, sir, please forgive me.
Leandro: Forget about calling me sir, okay? Just call me Leandro or Lean, whichever you prefer. 😉 Take this card and buy all the outfits you need. Remember, you will be interacting with people from royalty, so you need to buy outfits that are appropriate for that. Of course, not all outfits will be formal; you also need to buy some casual ones.
Alexa: With the royalty?? 😳 Leandro, dear God, what are you talking about?
Leandro: There's no turning back now, you already accepted, and I really trust you... -Steven interrupts-
Steven: Hello... I didn't see Alexa outside, so I assumed everyone was here.
Alexa: Good day, Mr. Steven.
Steven: Good day, Alexa. We're going to be family now, so just call me Steven without the -Mr.- 😉
Leandro: Steven, can you accompany Alexa to buy clothes and make sure they're modern attire and not the old-fashioned outfits she likes to wear, like her grandmother? 😁
Steven: And why don't you go? 🙄
Leandro: There's an inspection here at the company. Do you want to be the one present?
Steven: -looks at his friend- Well, beautiful, are you ready then? 😁
Alexa: -smiles- Let's go, we have a lot to spend! 😁
Steven: That's the attitude, darling! 😁 Goodbye, boring!
At the shopping center
Steven: Well, miss, what do you think if I suggest we change those glasses for contact lenses? What do you think?
Alexa: -takes off her glasses, revealing her beautiful light green eyes- Steven, these are reading glasses, not something I need to live.
Steven: What?? 😳😳😳 Such beautiful eyes you have!! Why do you hide them behind those glasses? 🤨 Why hide your beauty? 🤨🤨
