THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-As I told you! This is Liam Brown, he doesn’t speak Spanish, he is an American citizen -said Luz, leaving them perplexed- In spite of looking like a cold and distant man, he is not -she assured.

Liam introduced himself very correctly and formally to Luz’s family, extending his hand to all of them and greeting them very kindly, especially to the Attorney.

-How are you?” asked Liam, totally in English. Her father looked at his daughter to translate the question into Spanish.

-He asked, “How are you?” she replied to her father.

-He answered politely, saving his impatience and stubbornness for when they were alone.

-Fine thanks,” she translated to her supposed boyfriend, causing her sister Rocio to burst out laughing at the sight of her parents’ morose countenance. Then, everyone went to the dining room, where Luz stood out for being the ideal hostess.

The groom had a smiling and satisfied look on his face, who wanted to somehow maintain a more fluid communication with them, but due to the language barrier, it was not possible.

Luz spent most of the night translating what her boyfriend wanted to inform his parents and the other what his parents wanted to know about him. At the end of the night, the only ones having fun were Luz and Liam. Her parents waited for her to see him off at the exit of the mansion, to interrogate her.

Where did you get that so-and-so boyfriend?” asked the Attorney very angry, worried and stressed.

-From the Internet, Dad! Where else am I going to get him? You haven’t let me travel alone,” she said, being interrupted for the second time that night by her parents.

-What? How is that possible? That you met a person through the Internet, without knowing anything about him, and you brought him home as your boyfriend,” her father cried, running his hands over his head in deep concern.

-Dad,” she shouted, “but now that’s what’s in fashion, check the networks, that’s how couples meet each other in this century. We don’t need to be in a relationship for years to know if it’s good for me or not.

-Don’t say so many stupid things! -Now and always, you need to know very well the person you give your heart to,” he answered very angry with his daughter, controlling himself not to slap her, because he still remembers and it hurts him, when he gave her to Rocio.

-But he is the man I like,” she declared, confronting her father.

-Where does he come from? He’s a much older man than you,” he said, “How old is he? What does he do? There’s a lot of drug dealers these days, looking for mules for their dirty business,” he said, with anger and rejection towards Liam.

-If you don’t let me have a normal courtship, I’ll go live with him! -She threatened. “Even if it’s in a hotel,” she assured rebelliously and infatuated.

-Give me through a WhatsApp message his contact information. Before accepting any relationship with him, I will investigate him first,” he said, “Pass me his details at once!

Luz, to please her father, passed him all the information she had about him, so that he could check that she was right. She made the observation that Liam could not know anything about her research.

She promised her father not to give him any information, but that while he was investigating she would allow him to receive him at the mansion. To which, he agreed to pass an urgent alert to his work team, so that they could dedicate themselves to investigate Liam Brown.

Once, in his conjugal room, the Attorney and Sindy, talked until late at night about the matter, because he felt that this Liam, was not an honest person, besides that his face seemed familiar.

-Something inside me rejects him,” declared the Attorney General, “He looks too false.

-He doesn’t convince me either. I don’t know what Luz would see in him, because he is even much older than her,” he said, firmly.

-It’s true! That’s why I must act with caution and not put him on notice. When I have all the complete information, I will confront him, not before,” he said, annoyed.

-Well, now let’s rest! Because today has been a busy day,” she exclaimed, walking to the bathroom to change.

However, the Prosecutor made a call and demanded speed in the investigation against Liam Brown.

The next day, at the Morillo Tovar mansion, Sabrina woke up in the morning and went to the bathroom to change.

That day, Sabrina woke up ready to continue her friendship with Piero, as she had been doing so far. She loved to discover and try new dishes for Amber and Christopher to taste when they arrived at the mansion. He did not touch at all the subject related to his feelings for her.

-Piero, try this sauce!” recommended Sabrina standing on the other side of him, while keeping the baby in the stroller, playing with a small tablet.

-Divine! Just like the one who prepared it,” he commented, walking over to the car to take the baby out and feed him a treat he had made for him. Then he sat him in the high chair where he was fed.

-Chris, tell me, do you like it?” he asked, smiling and making funny faces at the baby.

-A gus-ta! Pi,” repeated the baby, smiling with Piero and calling him with his little hands, so that he would give him more.

-Ha ha ha ha! I’m coming, Chris, I’m burning today’s main course,” said Chris, smiling and listening to the baby’s insistence.

-What are you giving him, Piero? With him, we mustn’t invent,” affirmed Sabrina, worried, tasting what he was giving her grandson.

-Did you like it? Taste it! -It’s a very nutritious food for small children, it’s a fruit porridge. It contains a lot of water, which nourishes it, vitamins, fibers, minerals and other micronutrients, which help the baby grow.

-How do you know that,” Sabrina asked curiously.

-I took many courses to become a chef, I read a lot initially, although I still do, but not as much as before.

-Mommy!” Sabrina heard her daughter’s voice calling her.

-I’m in the kitchen,” she answered, waiting for her daughter’s entrance, who was surprised to see the baby being fed by Piero.

-Don’t tell me Piero, you have a new job! -she commented smiling and lifting her son from the chair to kiss him. Entering the kitchen, so did Christopher.

-What happened here? Mommy, don’t tell me they have a party in the kitchen and the taster is my son,” he said with a smile, kissing his son and hugging him and his wife.

-Heh, heh, heh! You should have seen how he called Piero to keep feeding him what he had prepared for him,” she said laughing.

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa,” repeated the baby, stretching out his little arms and hands to his father, so that he could take him in his arms.

-Come on, son! Let’s take the opportunity to play together. Mommy, where’s the tablet?” he asked his mother-in-law, smiling with his son.

-Take it!” answered Sabrina happily, passing the device to Christopher.

After they left the kitchen, Piero and Sabrina prepared the dishes and served them at the table, calling one of the service girls to take care of the gentlemen.

Christopher, satisfied with the food, called Piero and congratulated him and Amber did the same. This one, making the exception that Sabrina had a lot to do with the food because she was his inspiration. She, sitting in front of them, blushed and choked at that moment, with the food.

-Cof, cof! Cof, cof!

-What happened, Mommy?” asked Amber worriedly and getting up to help her mother, to whom Christopher was looking at, fixedly and deeply.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

She, who already knew her son-in-law well, stared at him without knowing what explanation to give. Piero, passed her a glass of water, which she angrily took from his hand with which Christopher smiled very briefly, witnessing this gesture, which went unnoticed by Amber.

-I’m ready, Mommy!” exclaimed Amber, gently tapping her mother on the back, to help her digest what had triggered her cough.

-Thank you, daughter, I’m over it! she replied, clearing her voice and looking away from her son-in-law.

-Mommy, what made you choke so hard? -he asked, pretending not to have noticed anything.

-I don’t know, son! Maybe it’s just bad vibes that came to me,” she answered, smiling at him.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha! Bad vibes?” he asked, looking at Piero, who was very serious…
