In out and back in love with you.

10. Why would you do this to me??!!!

As soon as the office was empty Monica decided to pay a visit to her cousin, she went to his office and passed as soon as she knocked on the door.

- Knock, Kcnok, you can stop hiding, everyone left. - She said mockingly.

- I'm not hiding. - Alexander was lying in his armchair, he was flat on his back and his hands behind his head just looking at the ceiling.

- No? Well then…you were invisible when needed. You do know not being hidden is not the same as being present. Right? - The CEO just looked at her sideways.

- I wasn't “present” today because I was thinking… I'm good to you, I'm a good cousin, I always indulge you, so why? Why my dear cousin? Why did you do this to me? - He whined.

- Oh, come on Alex!! We are in trouble, and you said you wanted the best!! Newsflash! She's the best! I did call other consultants, no one else dared to take the case and she has the best profile for this. What else could I do? -Monica said, throwing her hands in the air.

- A heads-up would’ve been nice! You know? something like: do you remember the love of your life? She will be here on Monday morning!!!- and this time it was Alex turn at hands throwing,

- I tried to tell you, I really did, but you didn't listen!!- She defended herself.

- Ok, maybe you're right, but a camera Monica? Really? - Alex said somewhat calmer, at any other time he would even find it funny.

- Oh, that was my life insurance! - she said with a mischievous smile

- Uh?

- You know, in case you wanted to kill me or fire me or something- she said winking at him. - God knows I wouldn't fire you and killing you would be too much trouble.... -sighed the resigned man- you're safe...for now.

- Then I'm selling it!!! Or maybe I'll frame it, who knows? - She said about the picture she took, Wiggling her thick eyebrows. Alex looked at her with narrowed eyes, although he wasn't angry.

- You know, you should talk to her, the way you ran out this morning, not the best way to greet her, you know?

- And tell her what exactly? That I had to run look for my balls that shot out of my pants when she entered the room? I was a coward Monica. - Alexander said exasperated.

- We both know you are not a coward, and if anyone knows you, it’s her. I can't tell you what to do, but if you change your mind, I've heard your balls were hidden in room 606 of the Imperial Hotel. - Monica told him, she had given him the information to find her, now it was up to him.... The young manager left her cousin's office just in time to see a furious Narcy walking with a killer expression towards the CEO's office.

- Is it true??- Narcy shouted coming through the door.

- What are you talking about? - Alexander was about to leave his office when his wife's outburst startled him.

- Oh, don’t play dumb! I'm asking, if it's true you're doing an audit in the company and above all consultants in the world you hired THAT woman!!!- she said shrieking.

- Yes, it's true. - It was the only thing he answered, he gave no explanation whatsoever.

- How could you do that to ME??!! -Narcy screamed indignantly.

- Do what exactly? This has NOTHING to do with you. - And meant it, Alexander didn't even understand how his wife found out! Who told her? But anyway, this was not her business.

- How come the fact my husband's ex-lover is here has nothing to do with me? - Her face was red and nose flaring.

- Narcy, that's enough, this is work, that's all, you know that I only work with the best, and guess what? she is the best! besides you can't come and flash the wife's card when is convenient. -The dominant man was not going to give in.

- And why does the company need such a sophisticated review? Tell me!! I have the right to know! This is also my company! My money! If there are trouble, I should know about It-Narcy's real concerns were exposed.

- So that’s what worries you? Your company you say? Your money? I don't think so, this company was created before we got married and if I remember correctly there is a prenuptial agreement that says no matter what happens, this company is ONLY MINE!, but really now, Is that all you're interested in? Because if it is you can leave now. - Alexander asked, now he was grateful his mother made him sign that prenup.

- You haven't answered me!! Why are you doing an audit? - The woman avoided the question.

- So what? I don't remember when was the last time you came looking for me, and this is what you do? ... it's over! I'm fed up! I told you before, we can't go on like this! - The CEO was disappointed.

- So that woman shows up and now you want to leave me? - Narcy asked amazed.

- This has nothing to do with her. Our marriage is not working, you neglect both me and the kids, I can't do it anymore. I want out!!!- He finally said it, and was surprised It didn't hurt, it wasn't until that moment he accepted his marriage had ended a long time ago.

- You want out? And you plan to leave me alone and penny less? You better reconsider, think about your children, how do you think they will feel about this? - She suddenly realizes this was getting out of hand.

- In fact, I think is also the best for them, I see their sad faces every day when you are not there, when you go out and out them aside, for God's sake Narcy, I travel 3-4 days a week and I see them more than you do!

- Don't fool yourself Alexander, you want to leave because that woman appeared, but she couldn't be here for more than your money, she doesn't pursue anything else! - Narcy sought to plant a seed of insecurity.

- Is that what you think? Do you think I'm worth so little, all I have is money? - The man asks outraged.

- I'm your wife, am I not? I know what you can offer, and I know you are not passionate or particularly interesting. Not the best lover or the homeliest man. Truth to be told You're all about work, a bit boring to be honest. What else do you think a woman like her, all accomplished and self-sufficient, could ever want from you if not for money or power? - Narcy completed with poison.

- For the last time, this is NOT about her, I’m only sorry I didn't realize this is your opinion of me sooner.- Alexander wouldn't admit it but his wife's words affected him, not because he loved her, now he knew for sure it wasn't the case anymore, but he couldn't help but wonder if her words had some truth in them, and the s****l remarks did what would have done to any man, gave him a bruised ego.

- Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you all this as something bad or to hurt you, but you must realize that very few women would have stayed with a man like you, and I did. So don’t screw it- After saying this, Narcy turned around and left the office leaving a thoughtful Alexander behind.

The CEO didn't really know how he got there, after spending a few minutes in his office he decided to go to a nearby bar and have a glass of whiskey, okay, more than one, while drinking he thought about everything that had happened in recent weeks and couldn't believe this was his life. His wife's words still echoed in his head, but surprisingly the words that resonated the loudest were those of his cousin: "Talk to her", "Room 606”, “Imperial Hotel"; so, he drove his car through Huston streets in a blur, and before he knew it, he was knocking at the hotel room door. When Cassie opened the door he came out of his mental haze and stared at her, she was beautiful, not that she wasn't stunning this morning; truth to be told, this morning her polished look had amazed him, she wore a white pencil skirt that hugged every curve of that beautiful ass, the red silk blouse showed only a little cleavage, outlining the curve of the breasts he knew so well, her hair framed her face and without a doubt the years had been kind to her and made her even more beautiful, she had taken away his breath, that’s partly the reason he run out of there before the need to throw himself at her imposed. Now, however, in the comfort of her hotel room, Cassie was dangerously sexy, with her hair on top of her head in a lose bun, her slim figure in only a nightgown reaching just below her butt showing those legs that go on for miles, the white fabric flowing mischievously over her barely covered body and her breasts peeking through the low-cut top. My God, she was trying to kill him. He felt the blood running south and had to remember, no matter he couldn't have a b***r right now.

- D-E-N. Forbidden. Mom? Mommy, are you there? Did I spell it right? Forbidden- a tender and sweet voice came from the speakerphone on the cell Cassandra held in her hand.

- Yeah, yes baby you're right "forbidden" said the woman in a tone that seemed to be reminding herself the man in front of her was exactly that.

- Ok love! Go to dinner and sleep early, ok? give your brother a kiss for me.

- Ok mommy, love you! - As soon as the call ended Cassie seemed to realize what she was wearing because she immediately ran into the room to put on a robe screaming behind her back

- Come in if you like- She said somewhat nervously with blushing cheeks.

The CEO entered the room and for a few minutes they were both silent.

- Alex, what are you doing here? - Cassie broke the silence.

- I, ahm, your room seems quite comfortable. -Really? Is that the best you got? Alex thought to himself.

- Is that what you’re here for? To check out the accommodation? - she said in disbelief.

- No, well yes, I wanted to make sure you’re comfortable, but I didn’t come here for that. - God, he was making a fool of himself!

- And what did you come here for? - Cassie asked holding her breath.

Alexander was a decent man, he had always been but standing here in the room of the most sensual woman he has ever met with a semi-hard-on, he was about to snap.
