THE LIE: DECEPTION TO THE CEO

-Christopher, please forgive me for what I did! I know I haven’t been well lately,” Michelle Fontain said with a pleading look on her face.

“But, it’s been precisely because you don’t answer my calls, you don’t answer my texts. You don’t allow me to be with you either,” she confessed, embarrassed.

-I’m sorry! I told you a week ago, let’s stop here,” she said, bored.

-Please! Chris,” she begged. However, she was interrupted by him, angrily.

-Come on, Michelle! Let’s try to keep this relationship strictly working, or better yet, leave the company! And this way you don’t have to see me,” he argued, determined not to continue this relationship with her and even less with what Glenys had told him.

-No! Christopher, I love you! -she whispered, approaching him to hug him, but he rejected her.

-However, I don’t love you,” he growled angrily.

-I’m not going to accept that you break up with me,” she snorted smugly, “It will be over when I decide.

-Ha! That’s your problem! Anyway, your father is still my partner and you, until today, were the Director of Tenders, so you’re fired! -he asserted, with all his authority, waving his hand for her to leave.

-Nooooo! Christopher,” she cried, making a drama.

-Shshshshshs! -He shushed her, putting a finger over his lips, “Shut up and don’t dramatize! Nobody believes in your tears anymore, why do you like to make a fuss so much and let others know about it? -he asked with disdain and annoyance.

-I’m not dramatizing, Christopher! And I don’t care whether they find out or not. I swear you won’t get rid of me so easily! -she threatened angrily and haughtily.

-Per-don? -he shouted angrily.

She, observing the cold and icy look on his face, convinced that this way she will not get anything from him, regretted it. So, turning around the desk, she approached him, pleading and begging him not to leave her.

-I’m sorry, Chris, please! And again, a thousand times, I’m sorry! -She repeated, “That’s not what I meant,” she begged, rectifying herself to soften Christopher’s attitude.

-I’ve had enough of listening to you! -I thank you for letting me work,” he asked, looking at her with disgust.

-You’re cruel, Christopher,” she sobbed, leaving his office, slamming the door with a loud bang.

Blam!

After Michelle left Christopher’s office, she called her father, whom she intimidated, threatening to leave alone to any country, if she did not make him retract, for having fired her.

-Daughter, you know our partnership is more about cooperation than anything else. He helped me when I was about to declare bankruptcy. How am I going to force him to do something he doesn’t want to do? In any case, I’ll talk to him, see what I can get.

-Well, Dad, you know what will happen if you don’t help me stay at Christopher’s Construction Company,” she interrupted violently and threateningly.

-Daughter! You are a grown woman, you can’t threaten me like that,” her father scolded her with disgust and without wanting to please her. He did not want to confront Christopher, although he had already seconded her in other crazy things.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

-That’s fine! If you don’t want to help me I’ll get help on my own and we’ll see how Christopher is. Because what he did to me today, I’m not going to forgive him,” she said, trying again to intimidate her father.

She gathered her things from the office and went out destroying everything in her path. For this reason, Christopher, when he was told what Michelle had done, ordered security to remove her and not to let her enter the company anymore.

He contacted her father, informing him of what Michelle had done, as well as of her dismissal. Mr. Hildegart Fontain, sorry with Christopher, asked him for a second chance, but when he told him how she destroyed all the equipment in the Bidding Department, he apologized and did not insist.

Two weeks later

Christopher returned again to the mall construction site. He had not been back since he bumped into Amber. Despite trying to persuade his staff, he argued again with his workers.

As a result, they threatened him with a permanent suspension of activities when he refused to meet their demands.

-I am not afraid of your threats! -he shouted to the union president, with whom he was in direct confrontation.

-Let’s see! If by suspending the work activities for an indefinite period of time, you are going to continue thinking the same thing! -he challenged Christopher. Obviously, the group of workers felt supported by the lawyer they hired.

-Ha, that remains to be seen! -Christopher challenged again with arrogance and obstinacy. Besides belittling the lawyer they had hired, since as far as he knew he was an apprentice.

-He who laughs last, laughs best! -The world is full of twists and turns and you can be in for a surprise!

-I’m very worried about you! -mocked the CEO, before leaving.

In order to comply with the regulations in force in Santiago de Leon and to be able to exercise their rights, the two union organizations of workers in the company, introduced a list of petitions before the administrative labor authorities, being advised and accompanied by the lawyer Amber Tovar Marin.

When the workers presented their petitions before the competent body, they made it very clear that what they least wanted was to conciliate, here it was all or nothing, but they were not willing to negotiate with Christopher, their acquired rights.

Amber, when meeting with the most representative groups of workers, incited them to maintain constant and permanent antagonism and the threat of suspension. Likewise, when faced with the proposals of the company’s negotiating team, she ordered them not to accept anything, nor to allow themselves to be convinced.

Obviously, Amber had made of this work, a personal action, of revenge and destruction of everything that Christopher Morillo Wood represents. She would take any opportunity she could to destroy him and his company, just as he had done to her.

However, Amber did not consider that in this revenge against Christopher, she would also drag his parents, who were always loving and kind to her. Unfortunately, she could not back down, because on her son’s orders, she was persecuted, locked up and beaten until she ended the life of her firstborn.

More than thirty days after the installation of the conciliation board, the workers exercised their right to strike. With this, they sought to pressure the Morillos Wood to recognize their rights.

Faced with this situation, the negotiating team, the lawyers and some of the workers who have always supported Christopher met with him in the board room to inform him about some aspects:

-CEO, the lawyer they have, is one of the best. It is true that she is young, a recent graduate, an apprentice, but, since she started practicing, she has shown that she is good. And she doesn’t negotiate or conciliate, for her it’s all or nothing,” they said.

-A lawyer who doesn’t negotiate? How so? -He asked worriedly, adding, “Remember that every day of suspension is millions and millions of dollars that we lose.

-Yes, CEO, but she rejected all the proposals we made to her, she didn’t want anything.

-And who is this trainee asshole? -he asked defensively and obviously furious, looking at them in disbelief.

-His ex! Amber Tovar Marin! -answered one of his lawyers.

-What? -he shouted with astonishment and rage…
