IT’S NORMAL TO BE UGLY, BUT I HAVE FEELINGS.

Martin, was washing his hands at the sink, when Armand hugged him and said.

– But we’re only going to, if you promise me you won’t freak out when I tell you what happened to the document.

– Ok talk soon, did you leave it in Oliver’s room?

– I was caught by Oliver and he handed the document to Benjamin.

-What? It can’t be Martin, I asked you to keep it in Benjamin’s office, among the folders in the old closet, no one would see it there, but no, you go and hand it to Oliver, damn it Martin, you don’t learn.

Armand yelled at Martin and he got angry.

– You promised not to yell at me!

Martin got mad at Armand and dumped him, almost crying as he sat in the chair. When Armand saw that he had overdone it.

– Hey love, I’m sorry I exploded, you know how I am, I get nervous, worried, this company is everything to me, I’m sorry.

– You shouldn’t yell at me Armand, I didn’t know you anymore, I know I’m confused, you think you don’t care about this company, but you’re wrong, I give my life for this place, and especially for you Armand, but you treats me like garbage, a bum, look, you don’t have to wait for me, I’m going to my apartment alone, I was stupid, yes, Oliver saw the document, but you didn’t have to be rude to me.

Martin came out of the office very nervous with Armand and Armand tried to stop him but he couldn’t.

– Damn it! You are an idiot, Armand.

Suddenly the door opens and Oliver excuses himself.

– Armando? Everything is fine?

– Oh hi Oliver, are you here yet?

– Yes, everyone has already left, so I saw that Martin left here angry and I came to see if everything was okay.

– Thanks my friend, but Martin and I ended up fighting.

Meanwhile at the Leroy house.

– Mom, I’m so happy, Mom. – said Benjamin devouring a bag of synthetic blood.

– What was my love, why are you so happy.

– I got called out tonight.

– Oh? Who asked you out? Paola?

– No mom, Paola doesn’t even go out at night mom, and I was invited on a date.

– Oh my son, you won’t fall for that, your father won’t let you go son.

– But mom, I’m going out nearby, it’s not far, please mom, convince dad to go out with my friends. I didn’t go out much when I was in Romania, I always went out with you guys.

– Humm and who asked you out?

– Ah, it was Ron, that boy from second avenue.

– What, that boy, not Benjamin, your father will never let you go, with Ron, he hates that boy, you know. If your father could have already killed him.

– Because mommy, Ron has changed, and he said he has a guy who is interested in meeting me, oh mommy please, talk to daddy, you know I always wanted to go clubbing here in France, see people, go out , please mom, I’m already 30 years old and I’m a virgin and I never go out alone, I mean, I go out with you and Paola, but now it’s different, please help me convince dad to go out here.

_Okay Benjamin. But I don’t promise I’ll make it. I’m going to talk to him tonight.

_Thanks Mom . You are a sweetheart.

_ Go to work soon, you will be late.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

_OK mother.

Benjamin took his things and headed to the company.

In Armand’s room.

_Shit! Where is Oliver when I need him?

Armand was hysterical in his office, facing the computer looking at some folders.

– It can’t be, I saved the spreadsheets here, I’m not going crazy.

Damn where are Martin and Oliver. I ask everyone to come at 8 o’clock and what time is it now? Almost 9.

Martin arrives in the room looking that his boyfriend was nervous. They still hadn’t made up yet. He sat down and Armand began to speak.

– Look what time it is Martin, where are my employees?

– I don’t know about them Armand, I don’t live with them.

– Are you still mad with me ?

– Still question?

Armand took a deep breath and thought, he had overreacted with his boyfriend, he approached him hugging him.

– I’m sorry, I know I’m an ogre, forgive me for yesterday.

– You yelled at me, Armand, and I was trying to please you. You are sometimes very cold, icy love, I am not a stone, I have feelings.

– Sorry, please I don’t yell at you anymore, but you need to understand me Martin, I only have incompetent people in this company, look at the hours I need everyone to be in the room at 10 for the meeting, but where’s Oliver, where’s Secretary Benjamin, and more love, that damn computer crashed.

– Calm down, stay calm, why are you so nervous, what are you wanting on the computer?

– Martin, don’t you remember that we need to show you the spreadsheets with the company’s balance sheet files?

– Oh yes, really, for the meeting on Monday with my father and your father?

– Yeah and I can’t access the spreadsheets, it’s all except the document, but that crap doesn’t open, and now Martin, I won’t be able to make a new document with all the balance sheet files. We are screwed my love.

– Armand, relax not all is lost.

– Martin, how can you say that so calmly, don’t you see that your head and mine are at stake, or have you forgotten that my dear cousin Robert and his brother Harry want our place in the company.

-Yes I had forgotten that, sorry love, but they will never get the position of president and vice president, they are not as good as us, and otherwise my father and yours they would not admit that. And I already told you, Harry, he only cares about the commercials and the marketing direction of the company, so don’t worry.

– But Martin, I don’t want to know, I need to present these spreadsheets with the company’s balance sheet documents by Monday, and what day is today?

– Friday.

– We’re screwed.

– Calm down love, let’s do another one.

At this time who arrives at Armand’s office. Oliver.

– What’s going on, why are you so serious.

– Ahhh look at him there, damn Oliver, you’re late, and we have a big problem.

– What happened Armand?

– The spreadsheets that Armand had saved are gone, or he couldn’t access them on the computer and he needs this file to present to the meeting on Monday.

– Hmm, I understand, but there is nothing to worry about Armand, you can ask the secretary Benjamin Leroy and Tulio, they can make a new spreadsheet for the balance sheet.

– But of course, we have two secretaries and they can make the spreadsheet.

– My secretary Benjamin, I believe he can handle it, but Tulio, I don’t know, I don’t think he will manage it – Oliver said laughing.

– What do you mean huh Oliver, my friend is as smart as his ugly secretary.

– Stop you two, and you’re right Oliver, we have two secretaries here, and they can do the spreadsheets, call the two now in my office.

Martin picked up the phone and called Benjamin and Tul into Armand’s office.

– Good morning Mr. Oliver – Benjamin said smiling, adjusting his glasses that were a little crooked – Good morning Mr. Armand, what can I help you?
