Mateo struggled within himself as he looked at the text message on his phone.He had asked his assistant to get him Li-lah's number but he doesn't know if he wanted her there.Not because he didn't want her around but because he wasn't sure if he could be able to control his emotions and his affection for her while she was there.'Crap' Mateo mumbled under his breath.He remembered how her eyes had called out to him and wondered if he'd be able to keep his cool around her, if he'd be able to keep his sanity while she was around.He closed his eyes and counted to ten as he exhaled sharply, trying to get himself together But it wasn't working. He tried to push the thoughts of her out of his head, but they only got stronger as he tried to keep them out. He couldn't help but think about her, her face, her voice, her eyes. It had been a long time since he last saw her and he missed her so much. No matter how hard he tried to push her thoughts off his mind, she kept infiltrating his thoug
Juan paced his office, cursing and swearing, flinging his hands every which way. It was all he could do to stop himself from throwing things in the office; He didn't have the money to replace it. Of course, the funds he had previously had had run out, and he hadn't gotten his paycheck for the month."Fuck." Juan came to his office door, more irritated than ever."That-That son of a gun! He organized such a big banquet and did not invite me? He invited every other worker here down to the janitor but he chose not to invite me, the vice chairman? You can't be serious!" Juan put his hands on the door and leaned in. "He's my superior and he doesn't even bother to say good morning to me?"He was so pissed, this tie he kicked the leg of his desk. A bad move because this hurt his toe; almost broke it."¡Ay!" He exclaimed jumping and wincing in pain. "Good lord. I blame that looser Mateo. I think I should speak with Santiago about this."He took out his phone and called him. "Santiago?""Juan
There was this man in a bar who was lost in his own world. His eyes were bloodshot and he was slurring his words. He wasn't looking at anything in particular, he just sat there, mindlessly drinking and staring at the TV. At intervals, he would mutter words that only he knew."That- that..who does he think he is? He thinks because he's the chairman he can do whatever he wants?" He paused and drank his whisky. "He is just a puppet. A piece of meat. I'm higher than he is. A chairman who's being monitored? A chairman who doesn't have his freedom?" he mocked, his belly jerking up."What I'm I even doing here being all pathetic." He stood up staggering out of the bar. "I'll just locate the villa and go there and give him a piece of my mind." He looked at the clock. "Shit, its already 12," he sighed.* * * *"he likes you." Daniel said as they made a stop to look at the waterfall.Li-lah have him a quizzical look. "He? Who is this he you're referring to?" She asked making air quotes around
Mateo quickly turned away from her. What was he doing? He is married and with a child, he shouldn't be longing and yearning after another woman. Aside from the fact that the fact that this woman had a boyfriend that she's happy with, Mateo is a bug name in the business world and any scandal especially one that involves him having an affair would be devastating to his image. He needs to avoid any distractions especially this one."What do you want?" He asked not looking at him."I just wanted to say thank you.""For what?""For trusting me enough to let me settle the issue with your wife and Natalia. You are a huge name and not everyone with your reputation would do this. I have a gift for you." She said dropping a small box in front of him.He looked at the box but did not move to take it. "It's the track we danced to but this time I played it myself and added a few of my own things."He still did not move or say anything and this almost faltered her courage. Why was he bring so di
Li-lah excused herself and stepped out of the hall. She couldn't do it. She couldn't stand to be in the same room with him, she couldn't even pretend. The fact that she was In the same room with the man responsible for the demise of her Father made her stomach feel like she was on a boat being tossed about by a hurricane. She couldn't breathe, and it was something she realized was getting stronger.As she staggered out, into the garden, she relived that moment. The moment her mother and herself cried and begged that her father be spared from the beating. The pain went from emotional to physical. It was suffocating. She felt like she was going to collapse. It was too much, it was more than she could bear. She collapsed to the ground, and the tears flowed.She curled up into a ball, fighting the fear, the darkness, the pain that was controlling her. She tried to escape it, but it wouldn't let her go.The darkness was too overwhelming. She closed her eyes. A small moment of peace.Soon
"Wait!" Mateo called out urgently. "At least let me clean your wound. If you leave it untreated, it could become infected. I've got a first aid kit in one of the rooms. Come on, it won't take long," he said, beckoning Li-lah to follow him. Reluctantly, she complied, her silence masking her apprehension.She followed him timidly into the room, her gaze lingering on the first aid kit he had pulled out. He began to tend to her wound with a gentle touch, and they soon found their hearts beating out of time; a deep connection that neither of them could have anticipated."There are two kinds of people in the world," Mateo said with a sage nod. "Those who need the dance and those who love the dance. It's not just about its mechanics and the moves, but about how it brings people together and its healing powers. You needed it to heal, Li-lah, and that's why you recognised its healing qualities in others. It's special, you know." He said, gently brushing her hair from her face.Li-lah glanced at
He stared at the woman seated on the bed, she was beautiful to behold.Hey eyes were alluring, pulling at his heart, her lips were wide and open slightly as if she were in a daze of some kind.The sheer see through top of her night gown gave Mateo an eyeful of her upper body.His mouth began to water as he slowly looked her over.She was built like a pro wrestling diva.Her long legs went on forever and her boobs weren't tiny but they weren't small either.Mateo was wondering if she were even wearing a bra or anything under the sheer nightgown.Holy shit!Mateo stood, gawking at the woman on the bed.His dick began to stir in his pants as he stared at her from the side.She looked up from the magazine, seeing him for the first time.Her face broke into a bright smile as she hopped up from the bed, grabbing her dainty night gown and putting it on.Mateo's eyes were ablaze and he was shivering."Come here, boy" she smiled as she opened the door for Mateo, giving him the opportunity to g
Grand, magnificent, and fancy are Mrs. Cruz's event keywords for this year. A documentary will be screened, we'll promote Mexican education, do a recital, and we'll organize a global speaking competition in addition to discussions on various jobs. The speakers are listed below.As Li-lah revealed who would be speaking, the crowd was filled with shocked gasps."They are at the top of their fields, and Mrs. Cruz's initiative to also invite lecturers from other countries. On this list, most of the names are verified. So that our kids might establish connections for the future, these folks will be listed as honorary alumni. Li-lah grinned as she concluded the lecture.Applause broke out in the room."It makes sense why she is always the parent's voice. She is quite effective." "yes! she deserves the Post."the mothers present sang the praises of Maria.After the meeting, Maria and Li-lah sat still. Maria appeared to be thinking deeply.Li-lah needed to explain something that was on her m
