61- The cool of words

-I am going to call the police immediately," exclaimed his manager, picking up the telephone tube.
Quickly the CEO pressed the button cutting the call, "Sir?
-I'm not going to take any action for the moment.
-But Mr. Aller is a thief.

-I know.
Mathew directed a cold look at the man, who left the office intimidated without saying anything
else. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to take the woman away from him, he preferred to
keep her close and have that letter saved for the future.
Cassandra knocked on the door of her boss's office and waited.
-Come in," she heard the heir's deep voice and took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Come on Cassandra you can handle this, you need it."
She put on her best smile and entered Mathew's spacious office.
-Permission, Mr. Aller.
-What do you need?" he asked kindly to the secretary's surprise.
-I know it's too soon for this, but if I really didn't need it, I wouldn't be asking you for it.
-What is it?
-I wanted to ask you for an advance.
Cassandra crossed her fingers behind her body, she needed the money to pay the nanny, the
woman had already made it clear that she wouldn't hold out for another month, she couldn't wait
for the first paycheck.
Mathew rose from his plush leather seat and circled the large desk with the elegance of a feline
and approached his secretary, who clenched her fists and stood her ground. The man's
commanding presence intimidated her, again his exotic perfume clouding her senses and his tense
but beautiful face so close to hers.
"Why do you want more money if you already have the one you stole from me!" he thought
indignantly.
-I can only give you that money if you work overtime...-He leaned closer his ear- Cleaning- His
boss's whisper gave him goose bumps.
Cassandra turned red with anger and gritted her teeth.
-No, thanks- She didn't want to be the object of his desires, she was still bewildered by what had
happened in the elevator, the man despised her, but he also looked at her as if he was undressing
her with his eyes.

Mathew frowned angrily and walked over to her window.
-It's fine, as you wish, it's your problem, now go away," he ordered feigning disinterest.
Cassandra went out fuming.
What was she going to do now?
Once the brazen woman left the office Mathew slammed his open hand on the glass, releasing the
pent up anger. He didn't understand! So many other women would die to be with him, if she
wanted his money so badly why wouldn't she let herself be seduced?
He sat down at his desk and opened a program on his computer, he was tech savvy and it didn't
take him more than a few minutes to log into anyone's account.
-I got it!" he exclaimed victoriously when he was able to hack into the woman's bank account with
ease, amazed to find a good sum of money in her savings, "Let's see who steals from whom," he
smiled mischievously showing his glistening fangs and clicked and removed all the funds.
-It's three hundred dollars.
-Just three hundred dollars? For this TV? But it's practically brand new.
-That's what I can offer you, miss, take it or leave it.
Resigned, Cassandra had to accept the money offered by the used goods salesman. With that,
which was not as much as she had imagined, she could pay the babysitter and buy canned food for
the rest of the month, but nothing more.
Cassandra knew that the money from her savings was there to be used and that it was a
considerable amount, but since her father had died she had promised herself that all the money
she kept in that account would only be for her little brother's future studies, she didn't want him
to have the same fate as her, Lucas would go to college and be a professional, she just had to hold
out a little longer.
Katlyn wiggled in her stunning fuchsia outfit at the reception of her future husband's company,
with a wide smile of gleaming teeth and crimson lips of her own brand, she approached a group of
employees who were talking among themselves.
-Miss Walter!" exclaimed one of the girls causing all the others to tense up and stop gossiping.
-Mrs. Aller," she corrected, "Relax girls, I come as a friend, not as a boss," she laughed amused and
winked at them.

The businesswoman came closer to them and whispered, "I'm going to throw a bachelorette
party".
"Ohhh" "Wauu" "What a thrill!" shouted the girls jumping for joy.
-I was planning to invite all the women in the company to my private party. But... there's a new
girl, isn't there? What's her name..." she pretended not to remember.
-Cassandra
-Oh yes, Cassandra! The scrawny redhead - she laughed amused and the other girls imitated her -
What do you think of her? I don't think she's a big deal, between us, she doesn't have much
experience in this, do you think?
-Yes..." they all spoke in unison looking at each other.
-Girls, I'll be honest with you, I think any of you could have that position, you deserve it more than
she does!
-I've been working here for five years!
-Yes! I have perfect attendance and I have done everything on time.
-That's why girls! Doesn't it bother you that an uneducated slut comes to steal the best position in
the company!
They all nodded in agreement and the blonde could not help but smile victoriously, she had them
eating out of the palm of her hands, "poor girls, how easy" she thought.
-Let's see beautiful girls, I like you very much, we could be friends.
The employees smiled excitedly, they could not believe that Katlyn Walker herself, heiress of the
most famous cosmetic industry in the world, the one that all the young girls consumed, wanted to
be friends with them.
-How about I make you a deal?
-Anything Katlyn
-I'll offer you each about $2,000,000 if you help me get that husband-stealing bitch fired.
-Oh Katlyn, I don't know....

-Yes, we appreciate the money, but....
-And one of you is going to get the secretary position, I promise you, the pay is double," he
winked.
The women didn't think twice, the blonde's proposal was tempting, besides it was true that they
couldn't stand the new woman, she had gone from cleaning lady to presidential secretary from
one day to the next!
Rumor had it that she had slept with the man of the year Mathew Aller, and they didn't
understand how, they were much more beautiful than the woman with no curves.
-All right, I'm in.
-Me too
-Me too!
-Oh girls, we're going to be great friends!
Aller's fiancée hugged them effusively while inwardly rejoicing at what she was about to do to
Cassandra.

61- Cassandra and Mathew
Cassandra was staring there, in the office even when Mathew He didn´t note her precense… yet.
-Cassandra!" shouted a shrill voice that irritated the CEO and brought him back to reality- Did you
hear that Katlyn is having a bachelorette party?
A group of women surrounded Cassandra, pushing her out of his vision.
-I didn't know...
-Oh Carlita, but we're all invited!
-Are we?
-Yes, you too
-I appreciate the invitation girls, but I can't leave my little brother alone, you guys have fun!
-Oh come on Cassandra, are you really going to miss it? It's going to be the party of the year!

-Of course, after the wedding," corrected another one.
-Yes yes, but this one will have a stripper!
The girls laughed in amusement and blushed at that.
But Cassandra really didn't like it, she wanted to get home and be with her brother, she didn't
want to stay up late and even less to cross Katlyn, she knew that the blonde hated her.
-Let's see girls, clear out, go back to your posts," Carmen exclaimed, saving the day.
The employees rolled their eyes and left frustrated that they couldn't get Cassandra to fall into the
trap.
-Dear, were they talking about Katlyn's party?
-Are you going too, Carmen?
-Oh, no, honey, I'm too old for that, but you should go.
-I don't think I can Carmen, I have my little brother alone, besides I don't have any dresses to wear
and I don't have the money to buy them.
-Oh please, enough with the excuses, I'll take care of the baby, ok? You can't miss this opportunity,
you have to make friends with the girls, not only with an old woman like me.
Cassandra thought about it for a moment, her partner was right, the others had to like her,
otherwise she would be the target of ridicule forever, besides she could try to start from scratch
with her boss's fiancée, maybe that way Mathew would leave her alone.
-Would you really do it?
It was already dark when Carmen arrived home.
-What are you doing dressed like that?" was the first thing the lady exclaimed when she saw
Cassandra wearing the same clothes she had been wearing at the office, an insulting white shirt
and baggy black pants.
-I was thinking of going with this....
-No no no no You can't! You're a beautiful woman, ten....- She extended a bag to her.
-And that?

-I went ahead and brought you an old dress from my youth, I know it's a bit out of fashion, but.....
-It's perfect Carmen, I love it.
Cassandra tried it on enthusiastically and to her luck it was her size.
A light blue dress that matched her flame-colored hair and her whitish skin, the skirt went from
her waist to her knees, with several layers of transparent tulle that gave volume to her narrow
hips, The neckline had several buttons that closed to the end of her thin neck ending in two flaps,
with long but translucent sleeves giving her an elegant and delicate look, it is true that the dress
was not very modern, even so it was beautiful, maybe not for a night of strippers but she should
still be grateful to have something to wear.
-You look beautiful!
-Thank you Carmen, you have been really good to me.
-You're welcome, now go on, it's getting late my dear.
-Yes...
-Wait!" exclaimed the lady and approached her, taking her hair out of her ponytail and letting her
hair fall in flames with waves on her shoulders, "Now, yes, now!
Cassandra smiled excitedly and left for the party, it had been a long time since she had been to
one, she had to admit she was excited like a quinceañera.
-The most boring bachelor party ever," exclaimed Erik, the CEO's best friend.
-This was your idea, I told you there was nothing to celebrate.
Both young millionaires were in the VIP area of a nightclub, sitting in leather armchairs drinking
whiskey, as if they were in the living room of a house and not in a renowned party.
-You are the most boring person in the world.
-I know.
