The first meeting between the two of them.
Camille knocks twice on Andy's door, she is impressed by the perfection of each of the spaces around her, she knows to herself that the only office out of context like hers was his.
The door opens automatically, she is dumbfounded to see the office of her boss, it looked like a space of a God of Olympus, but modernized, it emanated a perfect smell, in front of it was located a desk of a fine solid glass, which was only occupied by a few documents and a beautiful laptop with a giant screen.
Behind the desk was on his back in a giant presidential chair, the boss, THE CEO, you could only make out his hair sticking out and his hand on his forearm, glinting the beautiful gold watch.
“It took you seven minutes to get to my office, Camille Ibis, weren't you warned that punctuality is the company's motto?” The tone of voice is quite high and threatening.
She didn't even know the name of her boss; she had been so clueless that she barely knew that Martha was the one who hired her. And such was the contempt of her colleagues that no one spoke to her to get some information.
“How many minutes did I tell you had to approach?”
“Two minutes, sir.”
“Why did it take you six minutes to get to my office, if knowing the spaces on this floor, I know that the distance between yours and this one is approximately one minute and thirty seconds, I gave you thirty seconds more in case you slipped or something similar.”
Camille did not expect to hear this from Andy, the cold and calculating way he was talking to her made her shiver.
“I, I'm sorry sir, excuse me, it won't happen again.” Her voice becomes softer and to Andy's ears, for whatever reason, it is endearing.
He turns to face her, his gaze fixed on her face, the two of them gaze at each other in rapture, as if they already knew each other. She immediately turns red, and embarrassment invades her, she never imagined that her boss was such a young, handsome, and overwhelming man.
- Ah, but it's you, the one who bumped into me and my fiancée in the street, I see that your absent-mindedness is one of your most notorious defects- She tells him while making a grimace with her mouth and sketching irony.
Camille's face is now full of fury, everyone in that company was miserable, from her boss onwards.
“If it's me, tell me what you are calling me for, sir”.
“I'm Andy Alf, the CEO of the company you work for, in case you hadn't been informed, and in case you didn't take the trouble to find out”.
“Tell me Mr. Alf, why were you calling me?” Camille answers, gritting her teeth to avoid shouting at him for his arrogance.
“You made a spelling mistake in this report, you are missing a tilde, in a word, which could change the context of this, this would bring you a sanction, did you know that?
Inwardly Camille thought that it was the most ridiculous claim that anyone could make to him in the world, he can correct it, there was no need for all this spectacle.
“I'm sorry sir, forgive my absent-mindedness, as you said, it's my biggest fault, I promise it won't happen again.” She says looking at him ironically.
“You are suspended for a week without pay, you should have read the regulations when she entered”.
A tear rolls down Camille's cheek, tired of everything that happens to her. A week without payment would mean she wouldn't have enough to cover one of her scheduled expenses ”Please don't do this to me, I need the money".
As Andy gets closer to her, he realizes that despite her clothes she is a very beautiful young woman, the skin on her face is smooth and free of makeup, her hair, although not perfectly combed, is shiny and she emanates a particular scent.
No employee had ever asked her to surrender to one of her sanctions, since none of them had any consequence of being left without a week's salary thanks to the huge salaries they received there, so he understood that the girl really needed the money.
Andy closed the door and asked her to sit down, he asked her about her life, and she told him about everything she was going through, feeling compassion for her, he made her sign a memo, he didn't leave her out of work for a week, he wasn't as insensitive as everyone thought.
She left his office fifteen minutes later with her head down, locked herself back in the room she had been assigned to work in and went about her duties without so much as a word, her frustration was palpable.
After that moment she couldn't stop thinking about her boss, how handsome he was, how perfect, and how "generous" he was with his sanction. From then on, her jobs were perfect, she didn't want to affect her salary that she sacredly sent to her mother every time she received it.
Again, it is Friday night, this time she has too much work commissioned by Martha, she takes advantage of the well-paid overtime to get more money and survive in that huge city, there is no one in the office or so she thinks, so she leaves her burrow to look for a coffee. She sees a light on and approaches to observe that it is Andy's office, for her it was unbelievable that someone who could delegate everything to a third party would work as a slave just like her.
She doesn't notice and hears a voice over a loudspeaker speaking to her.
“Ibis, come to my office, you have thirty seconds”.
Camille runs off in a panic to the restrooms, then remembers it is her boss talking to her and runs back to the CEO's office like a marathon.
“What are you doing hanging around here at this hour, Ibis? Your workday ended four hours ago and it's Friday.” He says as he looks at her from behind his desk, sitting with his tie loose on his pedestal.
“Sir, I'm working overtime, you know I need the money," she says.
“Apparently for you it's all about money," he is sarcastic again.
“Well, if I were a mega millionaire I'd be at home, or in a spectacular place making a billion - She responds sarcastically as he does.
Andy, despite having shown that he was an ogre in front of the others, gives her a smiling smile, he thinks it's funny what he just told her”.
“You see Miss Ibis, we don't all think the same way, I work for my future estate, I don't delegate to anyone that I can do myself. By the way, were you going to the kitchen for coffee?”
“Yes sir, I know I'm on my working hours, but I need a drink, I feel like I'm going to fall asleep on my desk, but I'll be right back, I won't take another minute over the hour.”
Andy stares at her, since the day of the report he can't stop thinking about her, he can't explain why, he doesn't know why, she wasn't even close to the profile of woman that Keyra was, or anyone of her social stratum, she was humble, she was simple, uncomplicated, but very applied and efficient, during all that week he had watched her from his camera, every movement, every second, every time she cried, and that night he had stayed intentionally just to be with her, even if it was from his office. All in all, it was the first time his reason was affected, and he had no idea what was going on with him.
“I'll join you, I'll have coffee with you” He gets up from his desk and moves to her side.
The smell that the man was emanating flooded Camille's nose, she stared at him, he was so much like a God, she could not even believe that her boss was going to have coffee with her in the company cafeteria.
They walked out together down the office hallway, and without thinking they found themselves together drinking coffee from a fine pot, which he intentionally had ready for his employee, he already knew that when he stayed overtime, he would prepare a small one and follow his duty. They both kept silent, but never stopped looking at each other, she asked him for permission and went back to her office, Andy stood there, staring at nothing, what was so special about a woman like Camille...? It seemed that she was becoming one more of his obsessions.
The beginning of a rare obsession Andy Alf leaves the office shortly after Camille does, making sure that she was okay, for that he asks his driver to chase the public transport where Camille goes without losing sight of each of the stops it made. Finally forty minutes later and very far from where the company was she got off, she walked a few blocks into the humble neighborhood where they were, and he saw her taking out the keys of a house, a very small one, and not at all arranged, it looked like the kitchen of her mansion, she went in there, a few minutes later a light came on the left side of the house, A silhouette appears at the window and takes off her big clothes, the shadow reflects a slim and perfect female body, with a beautiful steep chest, and a dreamy waist, Andy reacts to the invasion she is making, and immediately is ashamed of himself and leaves the place. The following days, in the midst of his perfection, he would fit fifteen minutes in his busy schedule to observ
Camille narrates.After the awkward meeting with the supreme boss of the company, I feel totally embarrassed. It was my first social contact with someone from this place, they were all really cretins, they judged me by the way I dressed, but my work was impeccable, the only thing that interested me was that my mother was well, even if I had to come wrapped in garbage bags to work.The last few days that I've been working overtime I've felt haunted, there's something I feel that surrounds me, but I can't tell what it is-it must be tiredness, working too much is driving me crazy, coming back late to my aunt's house the desperate one has me in check, I need to solve my situation soon.I'm walking in the dark, the damn bus has left, and the train station is closed, it's cold and I have no money for a cab, what I was missing after the ridiculous thing I did before my little boss, I just needed to lose the job I had worked so hard to get because of it.My nerves are on edge, I hear the step
Narrated Camille Wow, what a blessing!!, Monday again, how happy I am to go to that nice job, even happier that I don't even have my old phone to call my mother, how wonderful.“When are you going to bring some money and get out of here? you're a nuisance!” I run out as fast as I can, that's the good morning from my beloved aunt, I have to leave with an hour more time, today I will have to make my way to the office, I don't have a penny for the train.I walk to the station, hoping that miraculously her watchman will simply be careless so I can sneak in, I don't want to arrive sweaty at work, enough with the appearance of my clothes, to arrive as if I were a beggar.Ten minutes later he leaves to change the shift, as I can I jump the fence, when I do my foot slips when I cross to the other side and I feel how it twists, I scream from the pain, but I must continue or they will catch me, a few meters later I see myself, and my foot is swollen and twisted, I die of pain and anguish, but
wonderful feeling “What, have I never seen such poor feet before?” Camille asks him, pulling him out of his thoughts, while with difficulty she moves her skin, trying to push him away.Andy reacts and comes to his senses.“Excuse me, you have beautiful skin, very pleasant to the touch," he says as he looks at her face.“Excuse me?” she runs backwards avoiding his touching her, although she would love to be touched much more, she knows this is not a normal reaction, so she decides to mark the distance.“Don't take it wrong Camille, it's just something I detailed, but come let me check you-Andy approaches again and takes her foot, now if focused on her ankle, he raises his bushy eyebrows, he notices that Camille's injury is quite dark, it has a purple tone and is quite swollen, he didn't understand how she was enduring the pain.She looks him in the eyes, she can't believe that her handsome boss was checking her out like a friend, and it was making her nervous, a few moments ago she w
Camille narrates.Arriving at my aunt's house is the most unpleasant thing, but for now I have no other option, and the worst thing is that I have to endure it for three weeks, my disability does not allow me to return to work, it would not be a problem for me to go like this, I would also be closer to Andy, I already miss him, I don't know how to interpret everything that happened today, although I know it was just an act of charity, but the caresses in the car, the smiles, and the touch of his hands, have me quite confused.I try to get to my room as best I can, but there was my aunt, angry and abusive as always.“And now what happen you? don't tell me you lost your job? Because if that's the case, you must get out of here immediately”.“No aunt, I didn't lose my job, I had an accident, please don't bother me, as soon as I recover, I'll leave here.”“Ah, what are you thinking that you will live here for free? No ma'am, you leave right now.”I take out a wad of bills from the money A
Andy takes Camille out of that horrible house again, her aunt just stares at her angrily, she doesn't really get much out of that place, she's just accompanied by a small bag with a couple of important things.“Andy, where are you taking me?”“Well, for a better place than this, that's for sure, I'll take care of you for today”. He gets her in the car and Orlando takes them to a small condominium located in the center of the city, it's a middle-class neighborhood, perfect for Camille, they enter a beautiful building, brown on the outside, but inside it looked like a little cup tea, decorated with various pastel colors and lights on the ceiling, upon reaching the second floor, he takes out the keys to an apartment, number 203, goes down to Camille and opens the door that is protected by a thousand padlocks, in two minutes they are inside.It is a small but cozy place, decorated with quite simple period furniture, pink curtains and a very simple fitted kitchen, and a bar, he shows her t
Camille's three weeks of disability pass, although she had to go to work with a cane, she felt much better, she loved the apartment where she was now, but she knew she had to get out of there, since the day Andy left her there, she had not heard from him again, he did not call her at any time and she did not feel in the power to do so either, but he made sure that the cleaning lady was always there to help her, and he even sent a number of clothes to her department, she didn't know how she had managed to find out her size, but everything had been perfect, she had very good taste.That day of Camille's return, she was dressed differently, she was wearing a beautiful pastel-colored dress, with bare shoulders and a pink jacket on top, on her feet she wore beautiful flat shoes that matched her outfit exactly and what she liked the most was the Such a beautiful bag that Andy had bought for her, she was definitely liking her “adoption”, she will never forget when he told her that he had ado
After realizing that Camille leaves the condo, she heads towards the train station, from his car he would have no way to chase her, but he installed a GPS chip in her phone, I never imagined that he would have to use it, but that occasion warranted it, turn on the tracking from his mobile, and start following her. She gets further and further away, he has already been traveling in his car for three hours, he was terrified of the idea that she had a hidden life in a place so far from the city, jealousy was driving him crazy, but what he would find It would help to get rid of her once and for all. So he continued, until he reached a remote and lonely town, she got off the train and continued walking to a small farm, it was his mother's house, he sees how Angela and her little sister go looking for him, the three are confused in a hug,Seeing this scene, Andy feels crazy jealous, he didn't understand why he was following the woman with whom he has nothing with a GPS, she is totally free
