Episode 5

Alexa: No... Leandro has no idea about who I truly am.

Steven: Why? Why do you hide yourself like that?

Alexa: Alright, I'll tell you because it makes no sense to keep hiding. I’ve signed my requests, and in them, he agreed not to approach me in any way.

Steven: -looking astonished at the beautiful woman before him- He signed what? -he asked doubtfully-

Alexa: He signed a contract promising not to try to seduce me during our marriage.

Steven: Damn... Leandro is going to lose his mind when he sees this woman, can you then explain why you hide this way?

Alexa: -while picking up various outfits in her hands she said- Steve, if I hadn’t done this, Leandro would have done everything to get me into bed and then he would have dismissed me as he did with many other women before. The truth is I really needed my job, so it was easier to change my attire and not wear any makeup, that way I could pass for an ugly Betty.

Steven: Oh, okay, okay, okay, good, good, you have a point there, it's valid. Well, beautiful... Let the fashion show begin, I'll be right here outside watching all your outfits. ☺️

Narrator: Alexa tried on various styles and footwear, and truly, Steven was amazed by the beauty of this girl; she was really beautiful and her body was perfect, and although he was a womanizer, he knew he had to respect the woman who is about to be the wife of his best friend, even if it's a sham marriage.

Steven: -taking photos of her without her noticing- If I take photos I’m not betraying my friend either 😁

Alexa: So, you've been standing there looking silly; haven't you found any you liked?

Steven: Are you tired already?

Alexa: Honestly, yes Steven, I'm hungry. 🥺

Steven: Alright, then our shopping spree is over.

Miss: Yes, sir? Which outfit will you be taking?

Steven: All the ones the lady tried on and the ones on that rack as well, all in her size.

Alexa: 😳 What? Steven? Have you lost your mind? This clothing is way too expensive. Do you want Leandro to kill me?

Steven: - smiles - Haha, princess, that's exactly what Leandro would have done if he hadn't decided to buy the whole store for you. 😁

Alexa: Okay, let's head to the company then.

Steven: No, no, no, please accept an invitation to have lunch with me at least. And Leandro told me to drop you off at your house so you can pack your bags. He'll bring the notarized marriage certificate for you to sign tonight, and that's that.

Alexa: Alright, I really need to rest up tonight... Tomorrow, I'm off to England. 😔

Steven: You don't want to go?

Alexa: It's not that!! It's just that, well, it's all so sudden.

Steven: Look on the bright side... Good things are bound to happen to you. 😁

Narrator: Once they finished lunch, Steven made sure to take Alexa to her home so she could organize all the luggage she would need to take with her to England.

Alexa: Thank you so much for the lift home, Steven. 😁 Bye!

Steven: Goodbye 😁 ... she entered her home.

📱 Calling Leandro

📱 Leandro: What's up?

📱 Steven: Did you sign everything already? The agreement?

📱 Yeah, the lawyers are just processing the marriage right now and that's it. Tonight, I'll give Alexa the certificate and her debt release.

📱 Steven: I feel like you're going to regret that agreement you've signed.

📱 Leandro: Of course not! If you already took her home, come to the office.

Narrator: As the hours went by, Alexa got ready for the dinner she would have with her husband Leandro.

📱 Leandro: -Calling Alexa-

📱 Alexa: Hello, Leandro.

📱 Leandro: Good evening, Mrs. Aldanic, I am calling to inform you that I will come to pick you up now and will be there in 10 minutes.

📱 Alexa: Why do you have to be such a clown! Okay, I'm ready.

📱 Leandro: Good, I'll see you in a few minutes. Remember to dress up very beautifully, or do the best you can. I want to see a very good outfit that you've chosen for a grand gala, okay.

Narrator: Steven interrupts Leandro in his office and tells him:

Steven: I think you urgently need a secretary. Observing his friend's desk, cluttered with papers everywhere.

Leandro: Yeah, I'll get one from human resources tomorrow.

Steven: Are you leaving now? What are you carrying there? Looking at the papers in Leandro's hand.

Leandro: The marriage certificate and Alexa's debt release, along with her ticket to England.

Steven: So she's leaving and you won't spend even one night together?

Leandro: 🙄🙄 Are you crazy!! This marriage is just business... I have to go, Alexa is waiting for me.

Steven: When you change your mind, I'll be waiting at my house with a drink in my hand 😁

Leandro: Clown!! - He left to pick up Alexa.

A few minutes passed while he drove to pick up his wife. Upon arrival, he called Alexa on the phone to ask her to come down.

Minutes later, she descended, radiant and beautiful, just as he had asked her to dress to see what she bought for clothes and if she got it right.

Alexa to herself: 'Idiot, we'll see what you think now.'

-She descended in a very beautiful dress that showed off her spectacular body-

Leandro: -He was answering his phone until he heard the sound of heels approaching him-

Narrator: His astonishment was beyond concealing; surely this woman couldn't be his wife—the unremarkable girl who served him coffee daily, from whom he'd never harbored a single improper thought.

Alexa: Okay, I'm ready. Shall we go?... I bet you're dying a little inside just looking at me like that 😏.

Leandro, mesmerized as he gazed at her beautiful eyes and figure: Alexa 😳😳😳 what is this?

Alexa: ? What do you mean?

Leandro, raising his voice: Explain to me what this is, Alexa!!! 🤨🤨

Alexa: It's a dress. Didn't you ask me to wear something nice, or don't you remember?

Leandro: 😠 This must be a dream!! he said, irritated. How can this be you? Explain why you dress like a nun in the office?

Alexa: Because I like to dress formally for work.

Leandro: I don't believe you! Get in the car, he said, annoyed.

Alexa, with a sigh: Fine. And she got into the car.
