42- Jealous of Cassandra beauty

-That was the last one," informed Erik who walked over to his frustrated friend, "Don't you think you've been a little hard on the girls?

-I can't pick someone I'm not 100% sold on, Erik! - he shouted in annoyance.

-Hey take it easy... What I mean is that maybe you're not too convinced with all this and you're making excuse after excuse.

Sebastian got up from his desk.

-Where are you going?

-Home, I have to tell Katlyn the truth.....

Just then the doorbell rang. They both looked at each other in surprise.

-I'm going...how strange, already and a half past- exclaimed his friend, going to the communicator -Who is it?

-Hello, good evening... I'm here for the interview," said an insecure female voice.

-Yes, come in," he said, pressing the button so that the young woman could enter the building.

-So? Who was it?

-One last candidate," exclaimed Erik excitedly, "Don't screw up this time.

The CEO had already given up, he had resigned himself to not finding a woman who met his standards to be the creator of his heir. But one more would not hurt anyone, it was just to see her and know if she was useful or not.

-All right, go meet her," he ordered, sitting back down at the desk.

Helena went up the elevator to the top floor, if the person who had published the ad lived in a penthouse then all this had to be real and not a scam.

She heard the elevator bell ringing to let her know she had reached her destination, she went down with trembling legs and just as she entered the hallway she turned around, just as the elevator closed in her face preventing her escape.

-Hey, hello," a male voice made her jump in fright.

-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," the young man apologized. Helena turned around when she saw the man.

Would he be the one to buy her baby?

-Hey... Do I know you from somewhere? - the CEO's best friend asked curiously.

-I-I don't think so.

There's no way that man who seemed to rub elbows with millionaires knew her.

-Hmmm, well, is the interview here?" he asked incredulously, making Erik laugh.

-You sure are funny, I hope my friend chooses you.

-Ah, I thought it was you?

-Me? No way, I don't like kids... -He said with displeasure, and then realized what he had said... -I'm sorry...

-It's okay...

"I don't think I do either" He thought to himself.

-Come, come in, my friend is waiting for you, we were just about to finish this, I guess it's fate.

Helena nodded her head to everything the man who kept talking said, she wanted to make a good impression, she wanted to be chosen, she was already there and there was no point in running away, if that man, who for sure would be an old multimillionaire, would choose her over all the others, then her life would be fixed.

-Come in..." she ordered, giving him a little push inside.

-Wait, don't you...?

-See you later," Erik exclaimed, closing the door behind him, leaving the redhead alone with the man who had his back turned in his chair.

-Hey... Hello," he exclaimed confidently.

"That voice..."

Sebastian turned quickly to where that voice that had him mad and that he thought he would never hear again was coming from

-Helena..." he exclaimed as he confirmed that the last hope was her.

Helena recoiled in shock, seeing that the old multimillionaire man was actually her ex-boss.

-Oh no, don't even think about it," she said turning around and trying to open the door. -Don't even think that I'm going to give you my son, you fucking bastard, I'm sick of the Allers," she shrieked.

-Wait Helena...

-No, Sebastian, don't even think that this is going to happen.

-Then why did you come all the way here? I guess you need the money.

-It was anonymous, I never thought it would be you!

-Come on Helena," he exclaimed, closing the distance and grabbing her arm so she wouldn't run away.

-Let me go, Sebastian," she warned.

-Who's the father, eh? Come on, tell me...

Helena turned red with anger

-Why do you want to know that?

-The bastard who left you like this is not taking care of you as far as I can see... Instead, I'm offering you a sum that you'll never need to work with again in your life.

Helena released her grip looking at him defiantly.

-I'd rather die than give my baby to you and that harpy of a wife of yours....

The redhead opened the door ready to run away from there.

-What would you prefer, the money or five years in jail away from your little brother?

Helena froze in place, then slowly turned to Sebastian.

-What are you saying?" The redhead didn't want to believe what she had heard.

-This...

The CEO began to look for something on his cell phone, before the incredulous look of the young woman.

-That's you, isn't it?

Sebastian put in front of her eyes a black and white video from a security camera, specifically the camera of Aller Industries, where the redhead was shown stealing the money from Sebastian's wallet, putting it in his wallet and throwing the evidence in the trash.

-As I imagined, it's you.

-You're a...

-I gave you the chance to return it, but you never did.

-You don't know...

-Yes, I don't know all the expenses and debts you have- he answered sarcastically- But with the money I'm offering you, you wouldn't have to worry about all that anymore.

-I can't believe you were threatening me, you bastard," he muttered between his teeth, choking back tears of impotence. - I'd rather sell all my assets and pay you back than close a deal with your family.

Sebastian put the cell phone away, putting it in his pocket.

-I want to see that then, I'll give you a week to give me back what you stole from me, otherwise you know..." He said, turning his back on her and walking towards the window.

-It's a deal," exclaimed Helena before leaving the penthouse.

-So? How did it go? - asked Erik who was just entering the room, being pushed by Helena who left fuming at the exit, "And now what did you do?

Sebastian didn't answer and leaned his forehead against the cold glass of the window, once again he had opened more distance between him and Helena.
