SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

The next day at the Clinic, the narrator:

Diana, coming out of the bathroom of the room she occupied next to her mother, found Mirelys very close to her. They were apparently talking quietly, for fear of being overheard, which again aroused suspicion as to what she was looking for with Camila.

-What did my son say? You still haven’t told me what you talked about last night with Rafael? -Camila asked with a smile, confident that her son, worried about her, would accept her whim.

-That Mirelys doesn’t step on his farm anymore! -Diana answered, looking at her mother, “So if you want to be in the hacienda, it will be without her,” as she said this, she pointed her index finger at her, looking at her with aversion.

-That’s my hacienda too! -his mother shouted angrily.

-Do you know that’s not so? -Diana questioned, arching one of her eyebrows and looking sideways at her mother.

“He asked me to hire you a nurse, to take you to the mansion when you are discharged. So that you can be with whoever you want,” Diana said, suspecting that her mother was being manipulated by Mirelys.

-I won’t allow that! I want to talk to him! -I want to talk to him!” she added, angry and infatuated.

-I’m coming, mother! Please calm down! -answered Diana, looking at Mirelys with rage and aversion, since it was because of her that her mother was like this. Before she arrived, she was calm.

-I’ll take care of her! -Mirelys said, with a smile on her lips.

-I’d rather you left! -Before you arrived, my mother was relaxed, from what I see, your presence affects her too much,” she said.

-Diana! How dare you say that to my best friend’s daughter? Don’t you realize the immense affection she feels for me,” added Camila, contemplating Mirelys, who at that moment was playing the role of victim very well.

-Because it’s the truth, mother! You don’t realize it, but she manipulates you as she pleases,” said Diana, making a gesture with her jaw for Mirelys to come out; however, she ignored the signal.

-As long as Camila needs me, I will be with her, even if it is against your and your brother’s will,” she said hypocritically, getting up from the chair where she was sitting and standing next to the bed.

-Then, you can stay and take care of her from now on, to keep her company, because right now I am leaving the Clinic to go to the farm,” said Diana, fundamentally angry with her mother.

-That was all! You wanted to leave me alone to go with your husband and children. You are more interested in them than in me,” argued her mother.

-That’s not true! It is you who are choosing Mirelys over me, who am your daughter,” objected Diana, “In any case, your beloved grandchildren, as you call them, need me, but not you.

She left the room and spoke to the doctor, to whom she explained what had just happened, asking him to please intervene, so that this woman would stay away from her mother. The doctor was a friend of the family and they had known him since they were children.

-Calm down, Diana! We know what Camila is like, I will try to persuade her,” he said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

They left his office, walking and talking towards Camila’s room. The surprise was to find Mirelys outside, talking on her cell phone and making an appointment with someone, to meet in an hour. When she turned around, she realized that they had overheard part of her conversation.

-That was my mother wanting to see me in an hour! -she explained, grimacing and giving a fake smile.

Neither of them answered, since they doubted from what they had heard that she was talking to their mother. They, ignoring her explanation, entered the room and behind them, Mirelys.

-Why are you calling me Camila? -the doctor asked, approaching the bed where she was lying.

-I want you to give me a medical order according to which I need to recover in a quiet place surrounded by nature,” she affirmed.

-Since when did you become a doctor? To say what is good for you or not, from this point of view,” he asserted, not allowing himself to be manipulated.

That peace and quiet you will have anywhere, where you are surrounded by people who really love you and take care of you, so if you keep complaining, I’ll leave you here for another week,” he assured her.

-You told me yesterday that you would discharge me very soon,” she replied.

-Only if you will observe the same conditions and tranquility that you have here at the clinic,” assured her doctor and friend.

-Well, for that I need to go to my hacienda,” she added.

-Rafael is busy with several guests at the ranch, so he doesn’t have time to take care of you, mother,” said Diana, not wanting to give any more explanations, much less with what her brother confessed when he said goodbye to her.

-So, he took Mirelys to accompany me,” she replied.

-I’m sorry, Camila! I’d rather have you here, so you’ll stay another week,” declared her friend and left the room, without answering her call.

When Camila was left alone in the room with Mirelys, Mirelys advised her to make a fuss, a fuss, a mess, to complain, but not to let her daughter get away with it and so did Rafael. Since she was as much the owner of the hacienda as he was.

Camila, promised to please her but later, since she was beginning to feel a severe headache. Mirelys preferred to leave, because she did not deal with her mother when she was sick, much less would she do it with a stranger.

-Then, I’ll leave so you can rest, because I have an appointment with my mother and I don’t want to contradict her,” she replied, leaving the room, finding outside the room the doctor talking with Diana.

They looked at her and prepared her immediate transfer to the hacienda in Rafael’s jet, who ordered to do everything quickly as indicated by the doctor. Camila could not move, she was immobilized due to the fractures of the fibula and the radius of her right arm.

The doctor, a friend of theirs, prepared everything to take Camila out of the Clinic hiding from Mirelys and that is how she was transferred to Rafael’s jet and from there to the farm. In order to avoid a disagreement between her and Sofia and her family, he took them all on a trip to the river, so that her mother would not make her suffer any pain.

Simultaneously, on Paradise Island, the narrator:

Shayla preparing the points to be discussed that day at the meeting with the CEO, received a call on the direct from her office, she picked up the phone and surprise for this one?

-Shayla? It’s me, Jose David,” he identified himself, using his most seductive voice.

-Hello! What do you want? I’m in a hurry because the weekly meeting with the CEO is about to start,” she said.

-I’m sorry, I thought you’d be busy, I wanted to thank you for the favor you did me, inviting you to lunch,” he added.

-Don’t worry, you have nothing to thank me for! -she said, intrigued that he was now noticing and approaching her.

-I sincerely wish to thank you for your support, they were important documents for me, which I can’t keep anywhere. When we meet, I’ll give you the combination to the safe so you can use it,” he said.

-Okay! -she replied, saying goodbye because they were waiting for her.

-Can I call you at night? I guess you are living in the Morales’ house,” he asked.

-Yes!” she answered, falling into his game…
