One week later... Louise The days have gone by a little too fast, I thought it would be exhausting and that I wouldn't be able to stand this new life of mine, but Mary always cheers me up somehow. I'm still horrified by that business of selling women, but everyone does what suits them and if I'm not among them I should be grateful for that! Maria kept talking in my ear, she had a lot to talk about, and out of the blue I went from one to the other. Mauricio had been treating me "differently" from the others. Last night he asked me to bring whiskey to his room. I think he is made of alcohol, because every night he drinks. Lately Maurício would come to greet me with a good night or a good morning, this is really strange. "You're really blind if you don't see how he looks at you." - Maria replied while wiping the dishes I was rinsing. - "Seriously Lu, he looks at you differently. I can't explain it! But, I've never seen him like this, he's different and..." "At the very least yo
"Son, where is Roberto that I haven't seen him yet today?""He must be somewhere! Then you must have a good purpose for being here today and not just wanting to know about my life!" - He spoke in an authoritative way, which made me laugh. "You're right, but I need you to stop picking on Norely, because lately I've been getting a lot of emails complaining about your disagreements. As I see your silence is consenting to the rumors, I could see the disgrace with my own eyes, what do you intend to do now and why all this violence?""I have my reasons, Mom. Now I have to leave, I need to refresh my mind before I go crazy.""Be careful, my son. Don't do anything you'll regret later, and remember: take precautions because I'm still too young to be a grandmother." "You never change! If I'm not back by seven, don't worry, I'll call, and please, if you see Louise, ask her to rest. And don't get yourself into any trouble." With bloody hands he left and left me with a tightness in my chest, so
Maurício "Why did you change your mind about letting her go?" - Roberto asks, remembering louise. "Emma showed up and made me change my mind! Did she say something she shouldn't have?" - I ask between a sigh and some concern."I thought I had looked at her long enough to know the color of her lipstick. but if you must know, she was no trouble at all, and besides, i take back what i said about her, she is a nice girl." If this was an attempt to make me jealous, I confess that it failed miserably. I was lining up my suit and I missed Maria, I haven't seen her yet today. "I am happy for you. What technique did you use for this? although you change your mind very quickly." - He frowned and looked at me, losing the cheerfulness he had until recently. "Which one is it, mauricio? She's a nice girl and I don't know why you would treat her like that. I've already said it, I'll take it back." "Didn't you yourself say horrible things about her? I'm surprised at how quickly you've changed
Louise Of all the places I've been, this is definitely one of the best. Drinking and music were two things we had plenty of. As soon as we arrived Maria introduced me to all of them and I was very happy because I was welcomed by all of them. I don't remember ever experiencing anything this good, in fact I was feeling light and happy. "Maria, what if someone comes after both of us?" - I asked with a certain amount of concern, not so much for me, but because she would get hurt and end up getting hurt for it, I didn't want her far away from me. "Can you enjoy the party without worrying, girl? Nobody comes after us, you know why? Because we don't make any difference in that house, so enjoy your first night of many here with us." - They all raised their glasses and bottles of drinks and I did the same."A toast to our new friend, may we enjoy together many more times from now on." - Matias's friend shouted and we all toasted. The first shot I took was of tequila and what a horrible t
Maurício The day was clearing up when Luise emerged from the trees, alone and staggering down the path. Before I could say anything she looked up and saw me at the window, hurried her steps and ran into the dorm, her face changed as soon as she saw me and as far as I could tell all the alcohol she had ingested was gone. Almost twenty minutes went by and Maria didn't show up, so I decided to go there to see what happened and why she didn't run away when she had the chance. I can't explain the relief I felt to see her. Today is a day off for everyone except Louise, which must be why Maria didn't return. (...) The bedroom lights were off and she was not in bed. I entered quietly and could hear noise coming from the bathroom, the door was open and I could see her kneeling with her hands resting on the toilet and her face looking very drunk. - Where were you? - She wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at me with a tired look on her face, I had no answer because she then threw up
Juliana Mauricio called me very early, it wasn't even six in the morning when he entered my apartment, how he got in I have no idea. I didn't imagine that he was going to change his mind about that girl, I'm not judging her or thinking she was inferior to the others, but there are much prettier women than her, who fall head over heels trying to get some kind of fling and he doesn't give a damn. From what he told me, she came back from somewhere recently, and alone. "Are you worried about her or what? What do you want me to do anyway, Mauricio? I told you that we shouldn't mix personal life with business, in fact, you said so yourself.""I want you to help me with this. I don't want her to join the others again, take her off your list at the auction itself. I don't know how to deal when she is too close.""You don't know how exactly? Can't a man fall in love only with what he sees? The girl has her deformities and so on... but she is still beautiful and above all polite, Parkinson
Laerte Norely's proposal I confess is very tempting, but I won't try to convince Mauricio only to give Louise on a platter to Norely later, everyone knows that he and Parkinson have always had a certain rivalry. I won't get in the middle of it. James has always been Norely's bastard son, but this fissure of his for the girl has aroused my interest, in fact it's not only because of the rivalry he has with Parkinson. I see desperation in his eyes, he is afraid that someone will find out something about James and now that I am interested in the subject I will go all the way to find out what it is about and why so much interest in the girl. I was in my office when Vanusa entered with the phone in her hand. "Sir, it's Charlie again. He insists that he wants to talk to you or he will not stop calling." - I picked up the phone and brought it to my ear. Active Call"Indecent proposals, you asshole?" - I heard his cynical laughter on the other end of the line."Not this time. I heard t
Mauricio"Mom, can you tell me what you are doing here?" - Emma looked at me and smiled, she always does that when she wants to tell me something and she knows I will disagree. "Excuse me!" - Louise asked and walked off at a brisk pace. "Oh! Don't worry, tomorrow I'll be going home, but first I want to ask you something." - I don't like it when she speaks in that tone either, it sounds too convincing and I can't say "no" to her. "You know you have me in your hands, but please, Mom, don't push it!""I want to take Louise with me. My fashion shows are going well and since I represent diversity she fits very well into the category of a fucked up woman.""What do you have to offer me?" - I smiled sideways as she settled back in her chair to prepare a short speech that I will disapprove of no matter what. "A good life for this girl, Mauricio. I was a long-suffering woman, and you of all people know how much I suffered to get where I am. I don't want this young woman to have an ending al
