(Renata Pellegrini)
Oh! I forgot the cleaning cart in Signor Filippo's room. I speed up my steps and head to the dressing rooms, when I arrived I noticed that the receptionists also have uniforms, but I will look for Amanda dressed in the clothes I arrived with and I will give back this uniform and the key of the original closet.Now, with my clothes changed, I fix my hair and take one last look at myself in the small mirror in my bag. I put everything from the bag inside and leave the dressing room, walking with slow steps that turn me towards the reception balcony.I feel people looking me up and down, I swallow dryly, why in this world am I so hard to be nice?I take another deep breath and approach one of the receptionists, he is blond and by his face he seems more approachable than the girls."Good morning!", I greet him politely, at least he doesn't look at me with disgust. "Can you tell me how I can find Amanda, please?""Tiffany, did you see Amanda today?", he asks the girl sitting to his right. She looks me up and down, more one for my list of people I don't like here."I saw her running into the locker room, late as usual", Tiffany replies, rolling her eyes and chewing gum."I just came out of the locker room and there was no one else there", I say."The locker room in the reception area is on that side, kitten", replies the blond with a smile as he points in the opposite direction from where he's leaving. "Last door in the hallway on the left.""Oh, yes thank you!", I thank him with a smile and he smiles back.I take long strides down the hallway and head for the last door, unlike the locker room in the cleaning sector, the door to this locker room is glass, I turn the knob and the room is very well lit and much more spacious, a thousand times more chic.How I feel like cursing Mr. Filippo, since he is so controlling with who hires him or not, and he is the richest man in the world, he should at least treat the employees equally. It's not because they are faxineiros that they deserve little. I'm sure that small locker room doesn't fit ten employees.I walk into the locker room and see a girl with curly red hair laughing at something on her cell phone."Amanda?", I call out to her.The girl startles and almost drops her cell phone on the floor, I notice that her smartphone is from the Ruby 5 pro line, launched late last year by Computing Diamond."Mrs. Veronica, I was just talking to my father, he is sick and...", she turns to me and sighs in relief when she realizes that I am not Veronica's snake. "phew! I thought it was someone else.""I see", she smiled, I figure a lot of people must not like Veronica's, and I'm in the middle of this cake. "Do you know where I can find Amanda?""You're already talking to her, how can I help?""Oh, well, my name is Renata, I was hired a few minutes ago to be a receptionist, Mr. Filippo sent for her", I explain."Mr. Filippo?", she frowns. "You mean Mr. Valentine, the owner here, did you talk to him directly?", she asks approaching me with wide eyes."Ah y-yes" I say a little embarrassed, sometimes I forget that here rich people who are not intimate should be called by their last name."Wow, is that really a third leg, as they say?", she asks smiling."What are you talking about?", I frown, what a crazy woman."Oh, now you're going to play the saint? You know very well what I'm talking about!""N-no, I really don't know", I speak taking a step away from her."Mr. Filippo is the sexiest man in the world! With those kind of gray eyes and his big chest completely defined, you can see his muscles even when he's in a suit!""That's true, even in a photo he looks, in person he is much better", I think and hold back a smile, she continues talking:"Apart from her voice, in a low tone loaded with Italian accent, he always walks elegant and rarely shows her face", she bites her lip. "I bet his little head looks like a big pink mushroom."I just met the woman and she's already telling me her imaginings about the boss's private parts! Have mercy on God!"Apparently you're one of the shy ones", she says smiling in my direction. "Well, the bureaucratic part of your hiring we'll have to sort out in another department, for now let's fix your uniform."She goes to a large closet and takes out of it a red blouse and a black pencil skirt, a handkerchief that she holds under the collar of the blouse, it is white. The uniforms are nice."What is your shoe size?""Thirty-eight", I answer."Here", she hands me a black heel, "Try it on", she points to a door. "There are the changing rooms and toilets, they go there."I enter where Amanda instructed me and everything is wonderful, I notice that there are four glass showers, the glass is transparent and you can see that the chuveiros are golden. The smell of eucalyptus intoxicates me, like to feel the smell of cleanliness. The mirror of the washbasin covers practically the entire wall.I take off my clothes and put on my uniform. The cleaning uniform smelled like old clothes that had been in storage for a long time, but this uniform smells nice. A silly smile escapes my lips. I look in the mirror still with dark circles under my eyes and dry hair, I feel beautiful.The receptionist uniform is much more elegant than my formal wear. It's even embarrassing.Mental note: To buy fancy clothes with the first salary.I come out of the bathroom and Amanda breaks into a smile at the sight of me."It's perfect for you!", she comes to meet me and wraps her arm around mine. "Come, I'll show you where you're going to work."We leave the prep room and walk again to the reception, she walks in front of me."Always looks presentable, hair well combed and loose, well, the loose hair rule was created by Veronica, she says we can't get sexy, listen Mr. Valentini likes women with long hair tied in a ponytail on horseback, only Mrs. Veronica can come with the prisoners", she sighs. "Bitch!", mutters the curse. "Ah, tomorrow also come to make up, ok?""Yes!""We have two hours for lunch, and always change your clothes before going home, company rules. As if anyone should want to steal these ugly clothes", she speaks with disdain.I imagine she has a lot of nice, good quality clothes, I'm not a thief and it never crossed my mind, but the fabrics of these uniforms are the best I've ever worn.Amanda and I made it as far as the balcony of the reception, the girl and the young blond man get up."Finally she showed up", the blond smiles for Amanda."Yesterday I ended up drinking more than I wanted to, Caio", she answers smiling, "This one is called Renata, she was hired by Mr. Valentini himself.""Wow, do you know him?""I just had a misunderstanding, then he decided to be benevolent with me", I try to explain as little as possible, I don't want this conversation to collapse."Tai is kind of hard to see, Mr. Valentini is not known for being benevolent.""I guess not really," I reply in my thoughts. Mr. Filippo is thick, arrogant and an asshole. But he was good to me and deserves some credit."What am I supposed to do?", I change the course of the conversation."Simple, just greet people, bring coffee, water or whatever they ask for, show the customers around. You'll be almost like a tour guide.""I get it, it seems to be easy", she concludes, I don't think I'm going to have trouble doing these things."The hard part is putting up with Mrs. Veronica", Caio speaks softly."Yes", Amanda and I answered together."Well, I'm going to finish showing her the company, come Renata. We will be back and then you can go Caio", says Amanda and Caio nods his head.Getting to know the rooms of the company was a lot of fun, Amanda is a very extroverted person. The work started after lunch, today I was up and going back and forth all afternoon taking people and announcing them. I even felt like a secretary.I look at the clock on the wall and it says twenty-two o'clock in the evening. It's very late!I leave the company and find myself aimless, the security guard has already closed the door and walked away. Amanda left an hour before me because she had an emergency, and I'm left to organize the counter.Where is there a bus stop here? My God, how am I going to get home?It's late and I'm alone, there's not even a living soul passing by for me to ask for information.A pitch black car approaches me, startles me and I jump back a little. My heart is hammering hard inside my chest, it may not look like it, but I'm really scared, it could be a kidnapper or some psycho, but the car is too fancy to belong to just anyone. The driver lowers the window and I see it's Mr. Filippo."Do you want a ride home?", he asks.Chapter 2: Other countryAmanda Fernard:Two mercedes benz slr mclaren, are parked in front of the house, with the doors open, if it wasn't for this unfortunate situation, I would admire this car model, with the door in the scissor stido, I always thought it was beautiful, but because of all this shit, I feel dread. The man named Luka, forces me to sit in the driver's seat and closes the door, I look to the side and the man who beat Caio settles behind the wheel."What will they do to me?" I ask, trying to control my fear."Horrible things, young lady! We will burn you, torture you, and then me and twenty other men will rape you," he says seriously, looking me in the eye.The tears come cascading back down my cheeks. God, what did I do that was so bad that I deserved this?"I'm kidding child, you'll find out soon enough, you better behave yourself," he says and speeds up the car.He opens the glove compartment and takes out a gas mask, I watch him put it on his face and my heart manag
Hello, thank you so much for getting this far! What did you think about Filippo and Renata's story? Please, if you can, leave five stars on the book review, it will help this author a lot! And now, a little bit of the next book:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 1: The Payment.(Amanda Fernard)Even with so many problems, I put them aside a bit and watch my bare feet under the gray-colored wall as my body lies on the bed, as the music plays, my feet tapping to the beat and I swing my head from side to side as the absurdly loud melody of the music: O sétimo Hokage (The seventh hokage) - 7 minutoz, plays in my headphones. I have no idea how I haven't gone deaf yet.This is the part I am most identifying with at the moment:"Hateful looks no longer hurt meNow they only make me want to win moreEven if I wasn't born a geniusEven if I have to try twice as hardEven if I'm cursedI never give up because I have a dreamI won't die until it comes trueThe world will know my willpowerYou can ta
>Three months later: (Renata Pellegrini) With my elbows resting on the balcony of my room, I watch the starry sky, the night is beautiful and pleasant, my loose hair sways with the hissing of the cool wind. The sound of Filippo's car catches my attention and I watch him drive into the garage; I've been married to him for three months now, Filippo has been the best husband in the world, always caring and kind to me. I smile and step off the porch, I grab my robe and put it on over my sweater, I can't walk very fast, but I try to go as fast as I can, I open the bedroom door and walk down the hallway, but before I reach the stairs Filippo finishes climbing them. "Did you intend to run down the stairs, ragaza?" Filippo asks me with narrowed eyes, in his voice there is a slight tone of reproach. "Of course not, marito!" - "Husband," I speak smiling at him, who narrows his eyes at me even more. "I just came to welcome you to your room, Mr. Valentini, follow me, please," I say and turn a
(Renata Pellegrini: One Month Later:)Today is my wedding day, to find out that everyone but him knew who I really was. Filippo's mother received me very well, she explained to me how the house worked and the hierarchy of women here.Lais and I get along very well, he is a very sweet and gentle person, I feel sad that she has not been able to bear her own children, and when Filippo explained to me the fate of the little baby in Lais' arms, I felt even worse. Matteo allowed her to continue with the baby, but said that she would never be his daughter and would never have the last name Valentini. This was harsh, but at least he didn't snatch the child from her arms and give it to some subordinate to raise."I wish you were here, Mom, I wish Dad could walk me down the aisle." - I think as I look in the mirror.I still can't forgive Dominic, even now I understand better the reason for his choices, I still can't stay close to him. Demetrius and I get closer, he will be the one to lead me to
(Renata Pellegrini)“I need to take a shower,” I say, pulling my head away from Filippo's chest. “Do you want to keep me company?”Filippo smiles mischievously, and I smile complicitly. I can't help it, I've been missing Filippo for two months, and it's inside me, it's included in the package of longing.I go up to my room and go straight to the bathroom, take off my clothes and get into the box, turn on the shower register, the contact of the water with my body makes me relax, but before I can turn around, Filippo presses me against the wall and the contact of the cold tile with my breasts and belly makes me shiver all over.“You have no idea how much I missed you, piccola!” Filippo whispers in my ear and starts to make a trail of kisses from my shoulder to my jaw causing light shocking sensations all over my body. “Now I will show you going deep and hard inside of you the size of my longing.”My intimacy throbs at what Filippo says, abruptly he grabs my waist and turns me facing him
(Renata Pellegrini)I watch the arrows of light through the tinted window, a thick silence hovers inside the car, my mind wanders to the memory of the first time I was inside the same vehicle as Filippo, the car is not the same as that time, but just like the other one, this one smell new. I swallow dryly, remembering the butterflies in my stomach and the nervousness of being so close to a man like him. But now, it is like the first time, and I am hating myself for it!For three long days I ignored him and ran away from him, I didn't answer his calls or return his messages, I even blocked him, I changed the locks on the gate and the door so that he could no longer enter, and now I am here, inside his car.I feel his gaze on me, several times, but I don't have the courage to face him back, I am afraid of what my eyes will say to him, I am afraid of being betrayed and him finding out that I still miss him.Seeing him open that door and the tears shining in his eyes as he heard the sound
(Filippo Valentini)I see the furniture overturned, my collection of weapons scattered on the floor, glass panes smashed. Even though I have vented some of the anger, it still burns within me. I lean against the wall and sit on the floor.The images of the pain in her eyes as she told me how much I knew nothing, of the tears that fell from her eyes as she spoke in a choked voice, I hurt her too much. Remembering this makes my heart ache, I am gasping for breath, I feel like I am missing the most important things and I feel helpless, it is driving me crazy!From the beginning, I knew it would hurt her, but I had no idea how much. I stepped on her dream of being a mother, well I wanted her to be the mother of my children too, but I didn't want to deceive her, at least in that, I tried to be transparent... but... I should have kept my mouth shut; I regret so much the things I said to her. Renata didn't deserve what I did.I don't hold back anymore, I let the tears come down. At that mome
(Renata Pellegrini)“I know I hurt you.” Filippo begins to speak. “I know that right now you are feeling a lot of anger towards me, but I promise…”“Shove your promise up your ass!” I shout interrupting him, I don't want to hear empty promises, made only to manipulate me.Filippo looks at me stunned, I have never been one to swear, and even I myself am surprised at how dirty-mouthed I have become now, but fuck it.“You don't know anything!” I keep my voice down, I don't care about the tears that fall from my eyes, I need to get it all out, I want to get it all out of me. “You don't know how I felt when it was clearly your mistake, but you made it seem like it was mine... You don't know how I felt when you said you would never have children with me, how I felt when you flirted with other women saying it was my fault, how I felt when you threw in my face how active your sex life was before me, you don't know how I felt when I woke up that morning with a cold bed! You don't know how I fe
(Renata Pellegrini)“Are you sure you don't want to stay for lunch?” I ask as I walk Caio to the door.“I have to go visit my girlfriend.” He says sadly.My heart aches for him, Caio has always been a good friend and when he was finally happy with a great girl...unfortunately, a little over two weeks ago we found out she is with ovarian cancer, it is still in the early stages so still has a great chance of a cure. I pray a lot for them.“Tomorrow, I will visit her.” I speak, since she was admitted to the hospital, I haven't visited her yet.Well, for a long three days I was in jail, but four days before she was hospitalized and I didn't have time to go, I was always working and going to appointments, and I kept putting it off and putting it off... until the kidnapping happened...“Get well first, you are also going through a difficult time.” Caio kisses my forehead and simultaneously opens the door. “Take care, okay?”“Yes, take care of yourself too, okay?”“Okay.” Caio answers smilin
