Discovering life

The news...

Alexia

The day flew by and I didn't even notice. I've sorted out a bunch of unfinished business my dad left for when he returns from his trip. Now he wouldn't have to worry so much when he arrived, he would only have to worry about the financial part of the company. He didn't know much about finance, but as far as I knew, he had a slight embezzlement in the production department. It seemed that there were overpriced accounts, there were people making money on the purchase of raw materials. Well, that we could work out when he got back, I just hoped he would let me work with him.

At breakfast, I went to the directors' cafeteria, realized that the whole day had passed, Antony and Robson didn't even show up at the company, I just know my father would find out. Unlike Conrado, who occasionally appeared in the president's office. Speaking of the devil...

"Hello, my beautiful president! I heard from Sara that you did a great job today." Part modesty, it's true.

"I didn't do more than my duty." False modesty.

"Oh nothing, you're amazing! I've always believed in your potential." I believe! "How about we spend the night together tonight?" Oh no! I didn't want to relieve myself on my lone dolphin.

"Will not happen!"

"Why dear?" she asked frowning.

“I need to talk to my dad about my work today. He needs to know that I can help him with the company."

"What about my order?" Think fast, Alexia, what do I say?

"Look, Conrado, don't get me wrong, first I wanted to show my dad that I can be useful, when he's convinced I can work for him, then we can talk about our relationship.'

Nothing! I was buying time to come up with an excuse to break up with him. In my plans, there was no room for a serious commitment to another man, much less a commitment to Conrado.

"I think you're making an excuse to break up with me." He was smart, he got it right.

"No! It's not that, you know I've been here for a long time, asking my dad to let me work with him."

“Okay, for you, I'll wait as long as it takes.” Poor man, he'll get tired of waiting so long.

He tried to kiss me, but I averted my face.

"Not here, I told you, we're at work."

"Okay then, see you later."

"Until!"

I turned to leave the cafeteria and bumped into someone, spilling my coffee on my expensive outfit.

"Oh sorry! It wasn't my intention."

I looked at the girl and saw her dressed in a black cleaning uniform! She was very young and physically beautiful, brown hair and eyes, short, must have been no more than six feet six and about eighteen twenty-one years old. How could she, so small, not have seen me, when I'm practically eight inches taller than her?

"You incompetent! Don't look where you're going?" The girl seemed to panic.

"Sorry lady! It was an accident”, said the girl.

"Accident, is you losing control of the car while you're driving, that was total inattention."

"I'm very sorry!"

"You're lucky I don't run the company, because you'd be out on the street by now."

I ran to my office, I hated incompetent people, my father will know about this episode for sure.

“Usually you're calmer when you drink coffee, but it seems like this time the coffee had the opposite effect,” my sister said, amused by my annoyance, as I walked into my office.

"Someone clumsy spilled my own coffee on me, I couldn't get a sip," she said disgustedly, trying to soothe the damage to my clothes with a tissue I took off my desk.

"Oh dear! I saw the girl get on your blacklist."

“You don't know how. I just need to convince Dad to let me work with him."

"Let's work with him?!"

"This one! And by the way, it's taking a long time."

"Didn't you say he was coming at night? If not, he must have taken some b***h to a motel."

"Poor woman!" We both laughed. “I just didn't want to wait that long to talk to him.

"You don't get carried away so much, maybe you don't like knowing we've taken your place in the company."

"I've already thought about this possibility and will say that I had no choice, because Antônio didn't show up today."

I hoped he didn't show up all day and, guess what, he didn't.

"Where has he been all day?"

"This is none of our business, but it will be his business when Dad finds out."

"There! You are so cruel, Alexia!"

"I just want to be efficient! The day I take over the company I will change all the board members and today I see how incompetent they are."

"Yes I want to see!"

"For starters, I'm going to retire Antônio, as he is the oldest in the company, I would lose a lot of money firing him."

"If you do, you will declare World War III within this company."

“I'm not afraid of him. I would put you in charge of the IT department. You would find all the rotten directors helping me fire them for cause."

"That would be fun to see."

"Then I would make a selection within the company, to fill the positions of directors who are leaving."

"And Conrado, what would you do with him?"

“I can't do much with him because he doesn't do much with me and besides being marketing director, his father is a shareholder in the company.” And he knows my secret. I took a deep breath. “He asked me to marry him.” The eyes Patricia's eyes widened.

"And what did you tell him?"

"I said I would think about it, but I don't want to marry him."

“That's what I thought, you're not in love with him and clearly he's not in love with you.

"Love is a waste of time, it's a delay in life, it wasn't made for me."

"Don't talk like that, sister! Of course you were made to love, I love you! And you love me, don't you?" she asked me confused, I laughed at the face she made.

"Of course I love it! You're the only one I consider my real family. What I mean is that I wasn't born into this fairy tale business. Prince Charming, saving me on a white horse, as it's written in the books."

“It doesn't have to be a white horse, it can be black, brown, it can even be a red Ferrari. Or it might not be a prince, it might be a big bad wolf."

"Why would anyone want a big bad wolf?"

"Because the bad wolf sees you better, hears you better and still eats you." I started to laugh. "So even if your mom or dad didn't give you the love you deserve, I'm here to tell you that when you least expect it, you're going to fall in love with a guy who really deserves you."

"I thought you were going to say you love me."

"We both know the love we have for each other, what you need is a man to take you and turn you inside out. Not a dolphin nicknamed Romao."

"Oh come on, come on! The name is cute and it vibrates at twelve speeds, there's no way to compete with that."

"That's because Conrado never made you come tasty, if he did you wouldn't think twice about marrying him." I shook my head, laughing at my sister's madness.

I had orgasms with Conrado and other guys I dated, but it was never something I wanted to do again. With Conrado, over time, he ended up becoming embarrassed, without emotion, it was all the same thing. There were times I wanted him to come right away, only to get it over with, finally, I ended up avoiding having s*x with him.

Around seven in the evening, my father's secretary knocked on the door, I was still with my sister in the office. After getting my permission to enter, I saw that she was not alone, she had two police officers with her and Robson was with her. Was my father arrested? Now would be the opportunity for him to know he could count on me.

"What's going on? Can I help you?" I asked, already wondering what it was about.

"I'm sorry to be informed in this way, but your father, Roberto Bitencourt, has just passed away" said the policeman, I immediately stopped, not understanding what was happening.

My sister, who rose at once to welcome the police, collapsed into the armchair she was sitting in, not believing what she had just heard. At that moment, lightning crossed the sky, I had the feeling that a bad omen was coming.

"What do you mean he died?" asked Patricia.

What a stupid question was that? He died, dying, why! Gone were my chances of rubbing it in his face that I wasn't the incompetent he thought. Automatically, I placed one hand on the pendant over my shirt, feeling the object just below my breasts. At the very least, I will now be able to put my plans into practice as soon as the company is transferred to my name.

“The car he was with Mr. Francisco Nogueira Ferraz went off the road and fell on the mountain on the way back to the city,” said the policeman.

"Wait a minute, is my uncle dead?" I had forgotten that Francisco was Patricia's uncle, Alessandra's brother.

"Yes, is he your relative?"

What a stupid question, isn't that what she just said?

"He's my uncle, my mom needs to know."

"Well, I also came to inform you that your father's will will be read tomorrow after the funeral." said Robson, our attorney.

"All right!"

"Well, my job is done, my ladies condolences," said the policeman.

The officers nodded and withdrew along with Robson and Sara, leaving me alone with my sister.

"And now what are we going to do?" asked my sister.

"Let's get ready for the funeral."
