THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

In opposition, Amber ignoring his presence, worried about the audience she had in Court, decided to walk away and not waste her time arguing with him, but asked for help. As for the act she had, it was very close to the hour and it was a very special case for her, because it represented strong economic income.

It was related to a drug trafficking case, and if her clients were proven innocent, it would solve many economic needs, including the down payment for an apartment. Because of this, he wrote to the WhatsApp group of his colleagues:

[“I need support! I just got hit, I’ll pass on my location, I have an audience!”, she said].

[“We are on our way” commented one of the lawyers].

[Amber, I can pick you up and take you to your hearing,” Dylan wrote.]

[Please! I thank you, because I’m almost at the appointed time for the hearing,” she replied to Dylan].

[I’ll be right out,” he replied.]

Then an official unit arrived to pick up the accident. She identified herself and talked to them, making it clear that the other driver was responsible.

-He was probably talking on his cell phone, because when he got off, he hung up the call and put his phone away,” added Amber with disdain.

“He went out onto the Avenue, without stopping or looking to the sides,” she protested, without looking at any moment to where he was, who was still in a contemplative mood with her.

Christopher, regardless of the accident, from the moment he saw her he could not take his eyes off her, for she looked very beautiful, mature, elegant. She did not look like the little girl he had made a woman in his arms.

Then, she filled out the form and signed it, leaving two of her colleagues, who had arrived, in charge of these formalities, to take care of the accident. Finally, Dylan Lugo arrived for her, to take her to the Court.

He stopped his Ferrari, right next to where she was, opened the door for her to get into his car and drove off to the courthouse. When she got into the car, astonished and angry, he asked her:

-Did Christopher hit you? -shaking his head sideways.

-Yes, he was on two wheels, and he was probably talking on his cell phone,” she added angrily, thinking of the damage caused to her car, which had just left the dealership.

-Did he accept responsibility? -Dylan asked, curious.

-No idea. In any case, it’s not worth dealing with him. Let the insurance take care of it.

-It’s better that way! -said Dylan, wanting to ask more questions, but in the face of the anger she felt, she preferred to keep quiet.

For his part, Christopher, who had called his lawyers, to take care of everything, only continued to stare as she left with her lover, without disguising his anger and hatred towards them.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Apparently, when they got out of jail, they continued their relationship,” he deduced bitterly.

Once the officials lifted the crash, Christopher stormed out of the place, convinced that she betrayed him with Dylan. Although it has sometimes been questioned that at no time did he allow her to explain what she was doing there in the hotel suite, nor did he give her a chance to defend herself.

In the afternoon, in spite of this accident with her new car, she felt satisfied and fulfilled, because with her meticulous investigation and exceptional defense, she achieved the freedom of the young men who had been falsely implicated in the crime of drug trafficking.

Upon leaving the long hearing, the relatives of the two detainees were totally satisfied with her extraordinary work, which is why she received a call from one of the richest men and billionaire of Santiago de Leon.

They had hired one of the best law firms in the city, however, everyone was aware that this success was especially hers, who dedicated herself body and soul to defend the young men because she was confident in their innocence.

-Lawyer? -She heard a husky and very manly voice on the other end of the cell phone.

-Yes, tell me,” she answered, a little nervous, because she knew perfectly well who was talking to her. He was an arrogant, arrogant and arrogant person who did not greet just anyone.

-I congratulate you, Attorney Amber Tovar? If I am not mistaken, I believe that is your name,” he replied.

-Yes, sir, I am Amber Tovar Marin, at your service,” she answered in her sweet and melodic voice.

-Please pass me your account information, so I can pay you your fees, as well as a reward. It was an excellent job, you have the gratitude of the whole family, thank you! -he replied again.

-At your service,” she replied, adding, “You must transfer to the account of the law firm, because I am part of it and we handle all the cases together.

-Yes, but I want to reward you in particular, because my family kept me aware of your dedication, investigation and care to bring out the truth, and you succeeded,” he said, pausing briefly.

“I will deposit the fee to the firm, but I will give you a reward. I am very grateful to you,” said the tycoon.

-Yes, sir! -In a message, I will pass on my details. And thank you for your reward,” said Amber.

-To you! -and the tycoon hung up the call. Amber returned the cell phone to the older sister of the detainees. Passing her the information requested by her father.

From this moment on, apart from the extraordinary fees and reward she received in her account, which surprised her enormously, this case gave her more prestige and fame. She left the courthouse at almost five o’clock in the afternoon, finding Dylan outside the office waiting for her.

-Don’t tell me you’ve been waiting for me for a while? -said Amber, with a smile approaching his Ferrari, to which he was leaning with his feet crossed.

-No, I arrived about ten or fifteen minutes ago, because on WhatsApp they have been reporting your performance minute by minute, I congratulate you, you are extraordinary! -he expressed proudly, taking her by the hands, getting closer to her and kissing her on the cheek.

However, Amber, who didn’t want to know anything about love, boyfriend or fiance, immediately let go of his hands, escaping from his proximity, asking him about his vehicle.

-I asked my insurance broker to take care of everything,” he replied, “Therefore, you will be without a car for a few days while it is being repaired. By virtue of this, if you have no objection, I will be your chauffeur.

-Ha ha ha! That’s an abuse, if I accept it,” she said smiling, “Don’t worry! In the office, there are vehicles available for these cases,” she added, thanking him for his good deed.

After this, Dylan drove off towards the building where Amber lived. As she got off, she thanked him again for his support and solidarity, saying goodbye to him with a kiss on the cheek. This was observed in the distance, by someone following them…
