35 - Wolf dressed as lamb
Helena could not remember the last time she had felt so good about her life, having made the decision to resign from Industrias Aller S.A. and accept the offer of her boss's younger brother was the best thing she could have done.
It had been almost three weeks since the redhead had started working as Alan's presidential secretary, but even though it had been a short time, she still felt comfortable and the atmosphere was wonderful. The other employees did not judge her and treated her with respect, according to the position she held, since she was hierarchically higher than everyone else, something her former colleagues ignored.
The silence in the office, not hearing the blonde's shrill voice, was another thing that kept her at peace during the day, besides her new boss was a quiet man, he didn't shout behind the walls and his employees didn't run when they saw him coming, you could tell he was a good boss, almost perfect, the opposite of Sebastian.
-Ah... Sebastian- she whispered softly, she would be lying if she said that from time to time she imagined that he was the one in the office and not Alan, but she tried to ignore those intrusive thoughts, she had to convince herself that this decision had been the best one, and even though Alan was Sebastian's younger brother, she was sure she wouldn't see him often, as both had a complicated relationship.
Helena got up from her new desk and gladly went to the kitchen to prepare both coffees, thinking that she was only a week away from collecting her first salary and she was dying for it, since having resigned from Aller Industries she had not been paid anything. He would have claimed for it because he deserved it, even if it was a percentage, but he didn't want any more trouble and to be able to put it behind him.
Alan turned his seat toward his large window that overlooked a beautiful city park, which made the value of his property that much more valuable. He smiled looking at his reflection in the glass and took a sip of his whiskey, anxiously awaiting his brother.
Then he heard a loud door slam behind him, Sebastian had kicked Alan's black oak doors wide open.
-Where is he?" he exclaimed without even introducing himself.
The mocking chuckle was heard from the boss's seat, who slowly turned to his enraged older brother.
-Good morning, little brother, what brings you here? It's been a long time since you've visited me.
Sebastian slammed the doors shut and walked over to where his brother was taking his glass of whiskey and throwing it to the floor shattering it, Alan smiled even more without feeling affected by it, he loved to see his brother all fierce, he was very amused. The young heir had a reputation for being a short fuse and it amused him.
-Did you get up on the wrong foot today?
-Enough of your bullshit, where's Helena?
-Ohhh, you mean my new presidential secretary? She's right here in my pocket," he mocked.
-Listen you fucking idiot- he grabbed him by his shirt and almost threw him over the desk. Their noses collided and Alan's smile was drawn like a joker, making the CEO's frown grow more furrowed and his eyes released fire- I don't know what plans you have with her, but she's my secretary, did you hear me?
-Dear, she resigned of her own free will, it's clear she wasn't treated very well in your stupid company, now she's with me and she's more than happy.
-Not for long... -Warned the older brother, who was convinced that he would take Helena away and everything would go back to normal.
-You're not taking her," he threatened.
Suddenly, Alan's joking smile was erased and a warning expression appeared on his face, showing his true self, the demon that he really was.
-You took my beloved from me, now I'm going to take yours.
Sebastian raised his clenched fist, he was about to hit his brother, he had been dying to do it for a long time and the threat that he was going to take Helena from him and sleep with her was the straw that broke the camel's back.
The timid tapping was heard, then the leaning of the door opening slowly.
-Mr. Aller, I brought the coffees.
Helena's soft and angelic voice echoed in Sebastian, which made him automatically let go of his younger brother and walk away from him as if nothing had happened, to turn to the young woman who was entering the office and who had not yet noticed the presence of her former boss.
-Yes, come in dear," exclaimed Alan kindly, as he adjusted his shirt.
Helena closed the door with her back and walked with the tray in her hands, when she looked up at her boss and his guest, she almost dropped the whole tray on the floor if Sebastian had not been quicker and held the metal with his strong hands. They both stood face to face looking at each other in shock.
-Helena," whispered the CEO.
His secretary was beautiful, her hair looked like it was on fire around her flushed and full of life face, her light blue eyes seemed full of stars that twinkled with emotion and her thin lips were pink and shiny, he had never seen her so beautiful.
-Sebastian- sighed the redhead, before even thinking that she had called him by name.
Alan rolled his eyes and folded his arms in annoyance.
-Dear, can you leave the coffees on the desk please?
Helena seemed to come to her senses at the commanding voice of her new boss.
-Yes!" she answered embarrassed and pushed the tray away from her former boss' hands and hurried to put the tray on the desk, leaving Sebastian frozen in place and with the feeling of emptiness for the absence of the young woman, "Do you need anything else sir?" asked the secretary looking nervously at her new boss and wishing to run away from there as soon as possible, she had not imagined facing Sebastian like that and seeing him so soon.
-No dear, you can leave now, I have to settle some business... with my brother".
-Yes sir- she answered quickly and hurried to leave the office as soon as possible, just when Sebastian grabbed her arm impulsively, as if his hand had a life of its own and he didn't want to be far from the young woman.
-Helena, please. ....
-Let me go, Mr. Aller, I must return to my job," she begged with all her might, biting her lip hard and dodging the piercing gaze of her former boss.
-Please, Helena, come back to me," he begged, losing all dignity, "I can pay you double, triple, whatever you want.
"Would you divorce that harpy for me?" he thought to himself.
-No..." exclaimed Helena in a whisper, she could not give in to temptation and let herself be carried away by the seductive voice of her boss who sounded like a wolf dressed as a lamb.
Sebastian felt Alan's almost mute chuckle of victory, making him lose his temper in just a second.
He released his grip on the woman, and, on fire and red as a bomb about to explode, he turned to his younger brother.
-You want to take my secretary away from me? Fine, but you don't know how well your beloved fucks, I've fucked her three times a day for the whole month and I'm going to keep on doing it.
Alan was red with anger, almost on the verge of tears from impotence. Helena was in shock listening to the filthy words that had come out of her former boss's mouth, how could he expose his wife like that? And how could he be so cruel to his brother?
The CEO turned towards the door and before leaving the office he stopped next to the redhead to tell her, without looking her in the eyes:
-Then I don't want you to come crying to my company when you realize how my brother really is.
Then he slammed the door shut, leaving the young woman stunned, who felt her legs weaken and her blue eyes fill with tears.
-Are you okay?" asked her new boss with mock concern, who rested his hand on her shoulder as a sign of support, "My brother is an idiot, don't listen to him.
-I'm sorry about Katlyn," she exclaimed sincerely.
-Thank you, but I think this is a sign that I should start forgetting her, don't you think?
-Yes, I think I should too.
