Married To My Secretary

Chapter 15

“Kate, I'll take you “I sigh “I don't have any problem and it's safer for you to go with me and not in a taxi with any idiot out there. Let's go! “he doesn't say a word, I suppose he's going to accept “hey, I want to go eat. Will you come with me? I ask, she hesitates for a few moments but I don't wait for her answer to get her out of that place.

Why have I invited Kate Green to lunch? I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I like their company and much more than I would like. I drive to the place thinking about all this when her beautiful voice interrupts me.

"Have you ever had a hamburger or a hog dog at a train station?" Have you eaten an ice cream while walking through the streets? he asks, once I've parked my car in the parking lot.

"Not really, and I'm not even going to," I say, and I see that he's going to come out.

“Not! I snap immediately, making her flinch. I don't know, it's just that I've always been like that. I walk around my car to open the door for her.

“Santiago, it wasn't necessary “he smiles getting out of the car “you're going to get used to it badly and the day you don't...

"I always will," I interrupt, "it's a part of me." If one day you go out with someone and they don't do this, tell them to fuck off,” she laughs slightly as I close the car door.

"Hey, how about we go somewhere else?" He looks inside unhappily and takes the keys from my hand.

"Please tell me we're not going to eat Salmonella out there." I look at her with concern, she shakes her head as she goes to the driver's side. You can't do it with women, I end up accessing and getting on the passenger side.

We got to a great place! A subway station, this woman wants to make me fat, typical of wives. Well, it's not such a bad place, take my hand to go to place our order.

She makes her choice and I make mine, I can't eat much fat today.

“What? No no no, the same for the gentleman, please “he interrupts, I frown.

"You want to kill me, right?" I cross my arms, as I didn't imagine that he was going to force me to eat these things.

“Santiago, you're not going to die from eating a subway “he takes my hand and heads to a table “look at this, a youthful, bohemian, artistic place. Enjoy it.

“A youthful, bohemian, artistic place is La Maison Blanche in Paris

She looks at me with narrowed eyes, we find an empty table and I pull out a chair for her to take.

“Clear! If you have the money to go in there “she speaks, when I take a place in front of her” by the way, I love Paris.

“Likewise, I have a property in the city, I don't like to stay in hotels and I travel a lot so it was necessary.

“Did you buy a house for a few days so you wouldn't have to stay in a hotel? he asks, raising an eyebrow.

“Of course! In a hotel I can't take anyone without them noticing and I can't expose myself, much more with my father following my footsteps.

The truth is that I bought it for that because I have never taken anyone.

"You know, I partly understand your father." At that precise moment, a waitress approaches with our order. I look at the damn subway, it can't be that I'm going to eat this. She looks at me and laughs slightly.

“What? You never know what to expect from these places," I say and she smiles, shaking her head. I can't help but laugh at everything that this woman comes up with, I swear that she changes my day, with her I don't get sleepy and any tiredness will go away. Shit, I'll have to take it to every partner meeting I go to.

“You see it? You didn't die from eating a subway Yeyyy! She takes me out of my thoughts and starts clapping, I look at her disapprovingly.

After a few minutes we couldn't talk anymore, the music began to get out of control when an alternative rock band came up to sing, I don't like rock but these guys sound good. I walk around the table to sit next to Kate and get a better view of the show.

“Like? he asks, very close to my ear; I immediately turn my head in his direction so that our lips are very close together. Honestly, that closeness just made me uncomfortable, not in a bad way; rather, I felt the terrible urge to kiss those lips, but I can't.

“Honestly, this is not my kind of music “I speak in her ear” but I must admit that they sound good “she smiles.

When finished, I take her to her apartment. She gets out of the car with a smile, once I open the door for her, I walk her inside.

"Thank you, Mr. Centinelo," I say, turning to me with a smile.

“I'll see you tomorrow Miss Green, by the way, for me work is work, so this never happened at work”she laughs slightly, I like it when she laughs.

“Agree! “answers.

I go back to my car and go home. At some point on the road I smile, I have never liked any woman as much as she did.

I wake up, it's quite cold, I don't feel like getting up from these delicious sheets that cover my body, how I love sleeping alone, I can move as I want. I wake up remembering the subway I ate yesterday, I have to go burn all that fat.

“Malcom, I'll be here in 10 “Malcom yawns, I don't let him answer.

I get to his house hugging myself because of the cold, I should have put another coat on top, Malcom is standing at the door of his house with his hair pretty messy and holding a cup of coffee, I know he must hate me right now, he puts the coffee cup in some table inside his house when he sees me and closes, puts the hat of his brown coat on his head and approaches me with the most serious face I've ever seen him.

“I fucking hate you Santiago.

"Yeah, fine. And you, Malcom?" Malcom smiles, and he runs ahead and I go after him.

"Santiago, why the hell did you leave yesterday?" Malena had to leave because we couldn't find you,” she says, pausing slightly to look at me.

"Oh! It's true, I completely forgot. It's that Kate...

"Kate?" He interrupts and immediately looks at me.

“Yes, there it was, we went to eat and I forgot about that Malena “Malcom laughs, interrupting me.

“Something tells me that you're going to end up liking Kate “he raises both eyebrows repeatedly with a mischievous smile, moving forward enough for me not to hit him, he knows me.

I shake my head and seriously watch him walk away laughing. Motherfucker.

We returned after about 30 minutes walking around that neighborhood.

Malcom stays at his house hitting my knuckles with his fist, I see him picking up something from the floor at the entrance of his house, it must be the newspaper, just two minutes later and almost arriving at my house I receive a call from him.

“Tell me...

"Santiago, you have to see the newspaper urgently," he says immediately, which sets off all my alarms.

“What? Why? I run to my house, which is only a few meters away. I put my cell away once Malcom hangs up.

“Pink! Rosaaaa! “I try to look everywhere for the damn newspaper” ROSSAAAA! I'm hyperventilating.

Rosa comes running into the living room, wiping her hands on a paper towel.

"What happened, Santiago?" What happened to him? She sounds worried as I run back and forth.

"Where's the damn newspaper?" Where is? “I run through the room without control, I have already searched all possible drawers, on every table and even on the armchairs and there is nothing.

“Santiago, calm down, it's over in the dining room, that's where you like to read.

I run to the dining room and there is the blessed newspaper. I can't believe it! Front page. Rosa comes running after me and sees what I urgently need to see.

"Santiago Centinelo Says 'I Do,' In Private Ceremony".

"The Centinelo patriarch affirmed to the press that the eldest of his sons had married, the very proud father affirmed that his son is and always will be the best to take charge of the presidency of Centinelo Magazine, he always makes the best decisions"

"The Centinelo patriarch affirmed to the press that the eldest of his sons had married, the very proud father confirmed that his son is and always will be the best to take charge of the presidency of Centinelo Magazine, he always makes the best decisions"

When asked about the New York tycoon's wife, he did not hesitate to praise his daughter”in”law

"The best wife my son could find, Kate is a very intelligent woman, who cares about him and his well”being, speaks 4 languages, works as hard as my son for the company, I am very happy and proud" were the words of the Mr. Centinelo. Last night Santiago Centinelo was seen leaving the Rock&Roll Disco with a mysterious girl. Is she the lucky wife or simply one of the great Centinelo's conquests?

What the fuck...? And to top things off, a photo of me with Kate leaving that blessed disco. At least it wasn't with someone else, what if it had been with that Malena? I am in shock. Rosa looks at me and pulls out a chair for me, she knows I'll collapse at any moment, I hate my father. Bye girls, now that everyone knows that I have a wife. One wrong step and the press is going to attack me strongly. I can't believe it! I bring my elbows to my knees and put my head in my hands in frustration.

After a few minutes and a relaxing tea that Rosa has prepared for me, I can calmly go get ready, Malcom has told me not to attend, the company is full of reporters and the phones haven't stopped ringing, but it's impossible, I don't I can be locked up when I have many things to do.

I drive to the company, and yes, Malcom was not wrong, there are dozens of reporters, I guess even from all over the country, I can't believe this is happening to me, and much more the chaos that is formed when entering the company than until the company security guards have to escort me, and as if that were not enough, the eyes of all my employees are on me, and all answering calls and calls, I enter my elevator while taking off the gloves I was wearing. I walk down the hall to Malcom's office while taking off my coat. I open Malcom's door and to my surprise here is Kate.

"Santiago, I told you that...

"I know what you told me, Malcom," I interrupt, "but I can't shut myself up, I have a lot to do, I have to admit that it's true, otherwise they won't leave me alone, I hate my father right now, Kate organizes a wheel from the press “I'm upset, I take the newspaper from Malcom's hands and read it again, I still can't believe it.

I leave the office without saying a word and lock myself in my own until everything is ready, I can't get out, I can't move, I'll have to fire several people because of the way they look at me.

Malcom arrives and passes without touching, I hate that but today it matters to me in the least.

“Santiago, you're all set,” he says, I don't even look at him, I'm so lost in thought.

“Great,” I say, without any emotion.

Saying that I put my coat on me again and walk next to Malcom putting on my gloves, I'm going out there and there's no way I'll even catch a cold now because of my father. Leaving the elevator I put a scarf around my neck, I've been looking for Kate since I left my office, where the hell is she at? I leave the building, immediately a wave of cold air hugs my face, and I keep looking for Kate with my eyes, I'm already getting desperate.

I approach the podium, and the crowd of reporters immediately turns, I'll do this quickly because I'm not one to explain, I just want to be left alone.

"Mr. Centinelo, how come you got married without saying anything? Mr. Centinelo, who is the girl you were seen with yesterday? Mr. Centinelo, is your wife here?" And many more questions that occurred to journalists, they don't even let me answer. Malcom is standing just behind me on my right, while six security guards from my company make sure that no reporter gets out of control.

I look at the crowd and to one side I finally see Kate along with other company officials, as if she knew what was going to happen, she has made up and combed perfectly, I've always thought that women have a sixth sense. The color black makes her hair literally glow, and even more so the white complexion of her skin, she drinks coffee from a small disposable cup. At least I have a pretty and intelligent wife. Otherwise, not even in nightmares would I do what I am about to do.

“I ask you for silence, please, “finally, everyone is silent “I decided to get married in secret because for me, my private life is merely private “I look at all those eyes, cameras and flashes on me”, my wife and I decided that way Anyway, I am attached to that wonderful woman, together we have accomplished many things for this company “I pause”, as for the girl from yesterday, yes, she is my wife who I love with all my heart, and if she is here, yes it is, Kate?

I extend my hand towards her, she raises her beautiful gaze and observes all the reporters who are now in front of her, I know that she was not expecting this, she is about to have a panic attack; He looks at me and begins to walk towards me, at least he reacted, he comes holding his coffee and with the other hand he takes mine, I take it from the waist and join my lips with his, so warm, with a slight coffee flavor that I like . I begin to tenderly kiss each one of her lips and she corresponds immediately, I don't know if it's because of the coffee flavor but they are the best lips I've ever kissed, and this one that I've kissed many, kisses so well, it can't be, I It has left us surprised, if it is not because we are in the middle of national television, this delicious scene will continue. I open my eyes and her green ones stick into mine, that look worthy of her that makes her look so sweet and tender. I put my lips lightly on his forehead.

“Thank you very much,” I say this into the microphone to all the reporters who have gone literally crazy and I know all of America has.
