“What happens? he murmured, noting that the numbers were no longer illuminated. He touched one at random. Nothing happened”. Has it broken down?
Marc frowned, annoyed by the setback. He walked over and took a look himself. He rang the yellow bell several times.
"It seems so," he said between his teeth.
Of all the days that could have happened, there had to be that one , the one where he was going to move forward with the divorce and the destruction of Campbell. If he believed in destiny or in some superior force, or for that matter, in God, he would have considered that this was a warning for his bad intentions. But even if he could have them, it wasn't the first time, nor was he going to lash out against someone innocent this time. Campbell deserved to go through hell.
A nervous and melodic giggle cleared his thoughts. Marc looked down a few inches, meeting Yuri's calm smile.
"What amuses you?"
She looked at him as if e

Yuri was slow to react, but as soon as she realized she was reading the novel, she jumped to her feet and tried to grab the book from her hand. She was no faster than Marc, who showed off his reflexes as he stepped back and raised the tome.“«He drew my hip towards his with a dominant attitude, making me feel his excitement. My vagina quivered with desire, painfully empty...». Painfully empty,” he repeated, raising his eyebrows. This is very explicit, Miss Sandoval. Is it what you like to take to an important meeting?"The condom man spoke 'just in case'," he grumbled, arms on hips. Give me the book.“Why? Not that you would have written it. It is in the public domain, we all have the right to enjoy the prose of... Uma Howland. Wow, is this her? It reinforces my theory that women writers of this kind of novels have as a rule not to be attractive. Of course, it's a personal opinion, and it's not like it has to be a requirement, but i

As a rule, he was good at applying theory to practice, but he couldn't downplay it. Perhaps because he was going to see him in three quarters of an hour and had not yet decided how he was going to greet him. A ridiculous concern, if you compare it with world hunger, the socioeconomic situation of countries in dictatorship and the fact that Trump was in power. But at that time, how to face Marc Ambani was a transcendental question.Most likely, the guy was pounced on the women. Perhaps he would even say good morning like that. Or maybe he was playing. Hot guys liked to do that, very funny for the ones who were also hot, and pretty fucked up for the ones who had a mental and emotional blockade to turn it off and let's go. She imagined that he would appear wrapped in his overbearing cologne, would address her without first”name names, and would resolve the Campbell negotiation in five seconds. Like nothing. And then, if he passed someone in the elevator, maybe he would get

Yuri wasn't quite sure about her little sister's feelings towards Caleb, but she was sure he was important to her and she suffered from his estrangement. Caleb was obsessed with work, and what little free time he had he spent hanging out with his best friend, as if he wasn't bored seeing her face every day. And when they met at family gatherings”Caleb was part of the Sandoval troop, because of the close relationship he had had with Yuri since they were children”they didn't pay much attention to each other. Not because Natsumi didn't want to, but because Caleb had lost interest in her over the years. He found her ridiculous, heavy and immature.“I prefer to wait until you can come. Or if not, I'll go alone. I hope your sister is doing well with her studies."'I hope your sister is doing well,'" he repeated, imitating her voice so well that it seemed he had said it himself. My God, Cal, you've grown up with Mio. It is okay that she is not a saint of your devotion, but do not refer to he

“I've brought Carol up to date, and she's willing to attend to those that are mandatory, although out of preference... whenever she can get out of it, she'll do it. As you will understand, Sandoval, I am here to please my client," he said almost purring. He accompanied the comment with a lean forward, which caught Yuri's attention. The way his lips spelled the word "pleasure" and its derivatives was as alluring as it was terrifying. You shouldn't worry about that. You and I have more than enough complicity to take care of the matter for them.We haven't started negotiations yet. You are speaking without knowing.“I am an intuitive man, and I have a feeling that we will get along perfectly.Yuri looked up from the printed report and looked at him, just to make sure he wasn't mistaking the cat by assuming he was provoking her. Of course he wasn't dreaming; that man came with built”in coquetry, it was a maxim in his personal essence. And he was so good at flirting that, more than answers

Yeah, okay, I had. Let them kill her, lock her up, do whatever they want, but she had no control over her body, okay? She could refine her voice, make the effort to look at his face and gesticulate as little as possible so that he wouldn't discover the truth...But the involuntary bodily reactions were the responsibility of biology and it was clear that it was on Marc's side."Whether I'm nervous or not, that doesn't affect what we have to do here at all.""Of course it affects. I can barely concentrate if I know he's thinking about me.Yuri blushed even more. My God, it was about time someone interrupted. Has anyone run out of staples? What was the photocopier waiting for to break?"I don't know what he's up to. I assure you that you are not going to get anywhere. You should know by now that I'm not meeting with you because you have very blue eyes.“It wouldn't occur to me to put myself as her priority, but don't take away an importan

I don't know what's going on between you and me. I don't understand it, and I prefer to ignore it because it's... I'm not used to this. I'm sure you do the elevator thing every day with twelve different women. You have that air of a Latin lover that disappoints sensitive hearts after the last kiss. But for me... what I feel is... what I felt was very far from normal, and the way I am now... reacting... I think I would overflow again, and I don't know how to manage not that... "I'm sorry," he stammered, looking down at his shoes. I'm not good at communicating if I don't have confidence or I'm not on a platform. My thing is to be a lawyer, not to be... "Someone's fantasy?" Yuri looked at him without breathing. His powerful blue eyes were a reality check. More reality. He no longer knew how to hold her. He moved a little closer, showing her that he could get past the flood of her elevator emotions by being a little more direct. He didn't

An endless day full of tasks, meetings with unbearable people, not a single break to play sports or eat something: that was what awaited Marc that Monday, and he could only celebrate that it was. It was a unique quality of his. Nobody with two legs and a functional brain would applaud his schedule being full of commitments until almost midnight. He knew he was a weirdo in that sense, because he wasn't just a workaholic, unlike what his peers thought. The question went much further. He did not love his job, nor did he ever say as a child that he intended to go into law. It wasn't the dream of his life being in college, and even when he'd placed sophomore in his class, he felt like it was the last thing he wanted to do for the rest of his life. But it was convenient . What would give him safe work, in which he would always stand out. Whether he liked it or not, whether he went to bed with a smile on his face and satisfied with his work or the opposite, was the

“She's made it clear that she needs a spiritual connection to sleep with a man. Obviously, I have not bought it. Nick rolled his eyes. “Not all women lie. I know, but she does. The first time I went to Lawyer’s firm, I met her sister. She must have confused me with one of her boyfriends, because she warned me that she would break my heart, among other things. The girl made her a femme fatale... and I believe it. “She didn't seem like a femme fatale to me when she told her secretary how scared she was to meet guys online. “Being afraid of meeting someone online is not prudery, but common sense. And you don't have to sleep with strangers in bars to be a heartthrob. No attitude attracts a man's attention more than that of a poor puppy eager to be corrupted. It must be his way of attracting them, giving that image. "It also occurs to me that guys could fall for her without her having to drop her panties," Nick commented, in his little look”you”are”stupid tone. I do not see Sandoval'
