“And you’re feeling okay?”“Ialready told you I’m fine, Mark...”“I know yourolledyour eyes.” He stated annoyed “Don't do it, I just want to know how you are.”I covered the phone with my hand and that's when I was able to laugh the way I wanted.“My love.” I said trying to sound serious “I'm fine, the babies are fine, all we want is for you to come back soon.”“I don't like being away from you.” Hemurmured in a muffled voice.My heart clenched in my chest at the thought of him alone.“Hopefully you can return soon.” I said in the same tone of voice.On Monday while we were having breakfast, he had received a call.His cook, the one who a few months ago had attempted suicide by inhaling gas directly from the stove, had died with a respiratory arrest.

“I still don't understand the reason for your insistence to bring your assistant with me, Mark."“Because your assistant is sick and mine doesn't know Mexico, Kristos.That’s why”“You know I can defend myself alone in these matters, the only thing your assistant can do is delay Be productive's relations with that travel agency.”I looked at him annoyedfor afew seconds.My assistant might be the most complex woman in America, but she was also the most competent and professional at her job, and I let him know that.“She barely sees me and stutters!” Heexclaimed furiously, hitting the desk with the palms of his hands “Don't tell me you haven't noticed that...”“Maybe.” Iobserved interrupting him “You should know her a little more so you realize why she acts like this...”We stared at each other for a moment before my head of
