I sit at the head of the table while I wait for that damn Malcom to show up, apparently he's enjoying being married so much that he doesn't even want to leave his house anymore. After five minutes he appears... And shaved, he frowned immediately, apparently if Kate's words reached him at Christmas."What's up, you fucking shit”tickets?" I narrow my eyes at him as he sits to my right."What did you do with your hippie beard?" He glared at me and adjusts his jacket.“I lost a bet with Natalie, it was either that or wear heels all day.“Bet? “I laugh slightly, while he shakes his head “The damn thing does more abs than me. Can you believe it? I was already making fun of her when I reached 180 without resting and she did 220 “ I raise an eyebrow and smile “By the way, I'll move Andi to another department, or they cut my balls off. Now I need a secretary “ A secretary? “ Cristal brings me a cup of coffee and I thank her, if not, I swear I'll fall asleep.“Yes, Secretary, Santiago. And Andi
Malcom? No, please no. Malcom is my best friend, for me he is my brother, he can't betray me like this. I don't think so, no no no... There must be a mistake here, he wouldn't do something like that."Santiago!" Look at me," my father snaps, I look up, he puts the hand with which he was holding the newspaper on my desk and stares at me. "Is what he said in the newspaper true? Yes or no?I don't know what to say, if I deny, I know that he will do everything possible to investigate and when he realizes that I lied to him it will be worse, and if I affirm, goodbye company. These are the cases that you don't know what to do, because you know both answers will cause problems, I have no words, my brain searches for thousands of alternatives, he looks into my eyes and so do I, he takes his gaze from me and now leads it to Kate."Kate?" That is not true? “Kate doesn't know what to answer either, his hands have turned cold, I can feel them through my clothes where he holds my forearm. His eyes
I am perplexed, no, this cannot be true, no, no, no. I swallow saliva, I look at my life as a spectator; like this isn't happening to me, like I'm just someone else seeing someone going through this."Please, Frank, tell me it's a joke," is what I hope from the bottom of my heart, no please, it's not true."I wish it was a joke" her voice cracks and she begins to sniffle "Kate doesn't want to get up from where she is and I can't be with her because I have to go to the hospital with Stefanie, she didn't take it very well either.I start to walk, to leave the office, I feel like I'm living a terrible nightmare.I swallow the lump in my throat.“Why did he die? I ask, I just hope it wasn't because of the news because I couldn't stand it anymore, unconsciously a tear runs down my cheek, when I leave the office I meet Malcom.“Santiago, I know who it was,” he says, I don't pay attention, Frank is telling me about the cold Mr. Kateander caught that he couldn't stand.“Malcom, please tell Na
I'm even about to get drunk, it's been more than four hours since Kate left here and he hasn't come back, my nerves are on the surface. I am a real idiot, he does not answer my calls, he is going to listen to me when I return, I return to my position with my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands, I am already preparing my speech for when he returns, I am upset, he can not leave me like this way and incidentally not answering any of my 30 calls, many thoughts of anger go through my head until I hear the door open and I look at the sound, it's her, I feel a relief go through my body and all anger dissipates, I go to her and I surround her with my arms, I can't even explain the happiness I feel right now.“My love, I'm really sorry “I bury my head in her neck, I feel like an idiot for not being here for her “I promise it won't happen again, I'll be here with you as many times as you need me. I didn't think that..."Santiago... It's okay," she interrupts me, smiling slightly, she tak
“Santiago... “I'm not waiting for what else he has to say, I don't care, Kate and I have a long conversation pending. I start my car when I realize that only my credit card is in my hands. Ah! I left my identification at the restaurant. It can't be! I've come a long way, I don't want to go back, I immediately dial Anthony, and on the first ring he answers, I don't pay attention to what he tells me, I only know that he will send it to the company, that's enough for me, although I don't want to go to the company.I get home, my head spinning on the subject. What stress! All because of Kate, I get out of the car pissed off and slam the door, I enter my house and Kate is there, near the entrance, arms crossed, as if waiting for me, great because I have too many things to talk about with her."Santiago... what...""Kate, why?" Why did you do that? I interrupt her, I don't measure the tone of my voice, I'm so out of it.“What thing? he asks intrigued. And yet?“Go talk to my father “I stare
At least things are getting better, I don't feel so stressed anymore, being poor is not so bad, I spend more time at home and I can enjoy all the crazy things that Kate comes up with every hour, at least I know that it's done better and little by little she is returning to being the same Kate as always, bye”bye seriousness with her and that is that even when she gets angry she is quite funny, yes, until she does a strange hold on me that puts my arm at an extremely painful angle, there if it's not fun What I know is that I will never get bored of this woman.After doing my exercise routine, I go to my room, I have a meeting to attend, in my poverty, I still have some things to do, I need to take a shower, I hear the sound of the shower, which means that today Kate spends 40 minutes in there. I have to rush her, I go into the bathroom and I hear a song that I can't quite understand but I know it's called something like "Gangnam Style" I know it was well sounded a while ago, Kate is cha
I haven't even ordered my food and I don't have peace anymore, yes, I imagined it, he wants to talk to me because he has problems, it's obvious that he's losing, well, he told me himself that he wants me out of the company, why should I help him? ?“That means you're losing, Mr. Centinelo “I don't even look him in the eye”you haven't run a company for years now, things have changed.“That's why I need you to work with me, I'm going to pay you.Pay me? He to me?“Wait... Do you really think I need your handout?"It's not handouts, Santiago," he blurts out and sighs. "I'm telling you to help me put things together."“I bring a glass of wine to my mouth and try to appear indifferent” Kate? “and hit Kate.Kate looks at me, no, if she forces me too we'll be in serious trouble.“No, thanks. I can't help the competition,” I mention, seeing that Kate doesn't say a word, he already knows what my reaction would be.“I eat? He looks at me surprised. "Who do you plan to work for?"Do you seriousl
I wake up suddenly, the clarity is hitting my eyelashes hard, I look at the clock, it's after 8 am, Wow! New record, I'm already learning to be poor, this is the latest I've been able to get up, Kate is still there next to me, she does break a record every day by getting up quite late, but enjoy while we're poor, I know , I mention that fucking word many times... but I just... I love being poor.I do my exercise routine, today it's legs. A few minutes later, Malcom appears, yawning, his blond hair disheveled as usual.“Santiago, what the fuck do you want more ass for? Can't you see you already look like Nicki Minaj? "Oh!“And why the fuck do you want more hair? Can't you see you look like fucking Wolverine?“I love my beard Santiago. Leave me alone “Malcom looks at me disapprovingly and goes towards an electric treadmill “Well, what did your father tell you? I sit on a flat bench while I take a sip of water.“Nothing, you know, the usual stuff. Henry here, Henry there, Henry, Henry an
