39- The Best of being with You

Helena ended up accepting the invitation to have coffee with the woman, she had no idea what she was going to tell her, she only prayed that her former partner would not abuse her trust again, she would not put up with another joke.

-What did you want to tell me? she asked when they were sitting in the café.

-How have you been Helena, are you doing well?

The redhead raised an incredulous eyebrow.

-Do you suddenly care how I'm doing?

The young woman looked at the floor in embarrassment.

-I'm really sorry for everything that happened, it just got out of hand and there was nothing I could do.

-Well, but they got what they wanted, that I'm no longer with the company.

-To be honest with you? I think there is no better presidential secretary than you, none of the girls who have been there since you left have put up with more than two days, I haven't even dared to be there, I prefer to get paid less than to put up with Sebastian's ogre. - He joked, although Helena was not amused.

-If this was to tell me to come back, forget it, it's not going to happen, now I'm in a company where I'm treated as I deserve," she said, getting up from her seat to leave the place.

-Wait Helena," he begged, "I didn't come to ask you to go back to the company, I know you are better off now.

-So?" he exclaimed impatiently.

-I wanted to talk to you about the day of Katlyn's bachelorette party.....

Helena slowly sat up in the seat, looking panicked at the woman.

-What-what about that day? - she asked paranoidly.

"Did she know what had happened to her? Was she going to tell everyone? Maybe she came to extort money from me?"

-Helena...- murmured softly the young woman, who reached out her hand to touch Helena's in support, but Helena quickly pushed it away as if it burned- I'm sorry...That day...- she shook her head in disapproval- I thought it would only be a little joke nothing more! - sobbed the woman.

Carla felt an anger rise from deep inside her body.

-What do you mean, Alicia?" she muttered between her teeth, seeing red.

-I thought it was crazy when Katlyn did it, I asked her if it wasn't too much, but she looked at me with that scornful expression of hers and I was afraid she would fire me....

-Say it already! -she shouted feeling tears falling from helplessness.

-I drug you Helena!

-What?

-He put something in your drink, I told him not to do it I swear.

At that moment Helena felt herself seeing again, as if all that time she had been blind, with a blindfold on her eyes It had all been Katlyn's fault! She had thought and hated herself for drinking so much until she remembered nothing, but no... The woman had gone overboard with it....

Alicia had begun to cry inconsolably, covering her face with shame.

-Alicia... Alicia! I need you to listen to me," he shook her hard.

-Please forgive me!

-But I need you to remember, who did I go with that night?

Alicia shook her head

-Come on woman...- she begged desperately -You must remember

-We... we... left there.

-How?

-We left you alone and drugged Helena, we went to celebrate the farewell somewhere else.

Helena abruptly let go of the woman, pulling her back.

-Go away...

-Helena I...

-Please go away!

-I'm so sorry," the woman sobbed as she grabbed her purse, "Please don't tell Katlyn....

-Get out of my sight..." she begged, swallowing back the tears.

-I don't know if this is a good idea Erik..." exclaimed Sebastian as he paid the publisher the amount to have his ad published in the newspaper.

-Dude, it's the best way, maybe you're lucky and you don't have to wait nine months. By the time you realize it you'll have all the money in your possession and that idiot Alan will be kicking like a little kid.

The young CEO sighed, it was tempting to watch his brother squirm with anger, knowing he wasn't going to win this time. Now he understood why he was with that stupid grin the last time he saw him, the bastard already knew about the clause. He was the only one who knew he was sterile and would not be able to fulfill the contract.

Sebastian couldn't wait to see how his stupid clown grimace was erased when he saw that he had indeed obtained an heir.

-Erik, I know it's hard for you to keep your mouth shut.

-Hey! -I shout offended -Well, it's true...

-I'm asking you to please keep this secret, okay? Until I find a way to tell Katlyn.

-You're not going to tell her now? You're out of your mind.

-It's not easy, okay? Just shut your big mouth.

Alan didn't understand why his older brother hadn't gone back to the company to fight for Helena. His plan hadn't worked out the way he had hoped! The bastard had completely forgotten about his stupid secretary and now he spent all day sleeping with the love of his life.

But Sebastian was sterile! What was he waiting for to happen?

He was supposed to split up with Katlyn and look dead jealous for the redhead.

But no, he had left the way clear for him to only have eyes for Katlyn.

What if he was falling in love with her? He thought in panic.

-I have no more use for that insulting woman," he muttered, thinking of Helena.

If his brother was no longer suffering for Helena, then he had to get rid of her and think of something else.

Alan couldn't wait until tomorrow to tell his useless secretary that he didn't need her anymore.
