SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Clarification and statement.



Rafael:

-To begin with, I must apologize for not having clarified all this from the beginning. I mean, your visit to my hacienda, you were my special guest, not a client,” I clarified, looking into her eyes lovingly.

-Why special? -she questioned me defiantly.

-If you are a mother, you have had an experience with your partner. So you must recognize in a man’s eyes, when he looks at you with desire, with passion and when it is love,” I reasoned without taking my eyes off her.

-Sometimes things are not as they seem! -she answered, without adding anything else and without taking her eyes off mine. I remained contemplating her beautiful and precious eyes.

-I respect your past life! I am interested in your life from now on,” I confessed sincerely.

-How can you confess that to me, if you have a girlfriend! Or do you think that because I am a single mother, I accept any kind of relationship? -She claimed to me in disgust, letting go of my hands and getting up from the sofa, furious -Don’t be wrong with me!

-No, no, please Sofia! -This is a misunderstanding, which I haven’t cleared up. I don’t have a girlfriend, I’m a single man without commitment -I assured.

I was astonished to hear that she was a single mother. Immediately, I analyzed that she made a very young mistake, she doesn’t look more than nineteen or twenty years old, but because of her profession and her status in the shipping company, she must be a few years older.

I thought she was divorced or separated from the triplets’ father. I have thought this several times since I met her. She is a spectacular woman and not only for her beauty, but for everything, her personality, her manner, the aura she radiates. She is a jackpot!

-That’s not what the woman who knocked on my bedroom door last night, after you left,” she said, pulling me out of my state of contemplation, “How do you explain, she’s not your girlfriend, but she sleeps with you? -she asked, annoyed.

-That’s it, totally false! -I declared, “She is the daughter of a friend of my mother’s, who is determined to marry me to her, to unite the two families,” I affirmed overwhelmed, “And I swear I have never slept or slept with her!

-I’m just getting to know you Rafael, how do I know it’s you who is telling me the truth and not her? -And you don’t have to swear anything to me, nor give me such explicit explanations.

-You’re right about that! You are just beginning to know me -I acknowledged in front of her- I can’t force you to believe me.

-I can’t force you to believe me! I’m warning you,” she replied annoyed.

-Apparently, you were sowed with strong doubts against me. In any case, I’m not used to talk about myself, I’m not perfect, but I’m not so miserable either. That’s not my style,” I assured her.

-I appreciate your understanding! -she mockingly mentioned, sitting back on the sofa and after her, I did.

-Now, please tell me, what exactly did Mirelys Zambrano tell you? -I asked. “That’s the name of your rival,” I clarified, with a smile because I perceived in her a jealous woman’s reaction.

-What did she say? -She asked me sarcastically, “He didn’t tell me! It is the most accurate question: that you were her boyfriend, that before going to sleep with you she was going to clarify some things to me. She also questioned me that you didn’t tell me who she was.

“Likewise, she referred to me that she didn’t want to see any woman hovering around you and she claimed the kiss I gave you goodbye that night, words more, words less, that’s what she said -she added at the end.

-And as was obvious, you believed everything. You didn’t give me the benefit of the doubt. Well, what else can I expect? You’re just getting to know me,” I said resentfully.

“He didn’t tell you the truth! -I clarified, raising my index finger on my left hand. But you’ll find that out in time.

-Regardless of what I find out later, I want to offer you again my sincere apologies for leaving your estate like that, without giving you an explanation,” she said, looking me in the eye.

“I need you to put yourself in my place, the only thing I wanted was to avoid you a problem with your girlfriend or your partner or whatever you want to call it?

-So, you don’t believe me? In spite of showing my face to you, opening my heart to you and reading the truth in my eyes. Still, you don’t trust my word,” I burst out immediately, feeling irritated.

“It seems absurd to me, that in someone who only used you for his own benefit, if you trust I’m sorry, Sofia! -I said, getting up from the couch, bored of trying to make her understand, “I’ll say goodbye and sorry for all the trouble!

“Unfortunately, this trip was in vain. It saddens and irritates me that without giving any reason, you think so badly of me -I replied, adding- I hope this does not affect the gift I gave from my heart to your children. Good night!

I said goodbye and walked without waiting for her, towards the exit, when I bumped head-on into Estefania, a totally opposite version of a woman to her daughter. Since I am sure, she did consider my version of events, without much explanation.

-Where are you going, Rafael? -I came to invite you to dinner, because since my daughter hadn’t arrived yet, so she wouldn’t eat alone, I waited for her so we could eat together.

“Allow me to compensate with something for your kind attentions to us, please! -she begged me.

-Thank you, Estefania! I would be happy to accept you, but I don’t want to bother your daughter,” I said sadly.

-Oh, my goodness! I’m sorry for my daughter, it’s just the fatigue, the hustle and bustle of today. From the airport she went to the shipping company and a few minutes before you arrived, she came in,” she assured me, with embarrassment.

-Quiet, I’d rather not bother! -I argued, “Can you accompany me tomorrow to choose a suitable place for the foals on the Island? I imagine there must be suitable land.

-I’ll take care of that myself,” replied Sofia angrily behind us, giving me a murderous look. I guess for embarrassing her in front of her mother.

-Then I’m sorry! Honestly, I didn’t mean to come and bother you,” I added and walked towards the exit door, being accompanied by Estefania, who looked annoyed.

-I feel annoyed! Especially when my daughter has that arrogance and arrogance at its best. Please, come tomorrow to have breakfast with me and the triplets, between us we will choose the right place for the foals, do you think so? -she asked me.

In spite of feeling helpless with Sofia’s attitude and in order not to hurt Estefania’s susceptibility, I kindly accepted her invitation. Besides, I was thrilled at the thought of seeing my little clones again.

-Perfect! Tell me, what time shall I come for you? -I asked uncertainly, “Are you sure Sofia won’t get mad? -I insisted.

-Come at nine o’clock, so you can have a good rest from the trip. If she gets angry, she has double work to do! Get angry and get happy again. Heh, heh, heh! -she said, smiling.

“Take it easy! If she doesn’t fight with anyone, it’s me,” she smiled with an accomplice smile.

-You’ll be the lucky one! Because she seems to be willing to fight with everyone,” I affirmed, showing a smile on my face, “Well, you’ll know! She’s your daughter, and you know her better than I do.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

So, I said goodbye to her, getting into the airport cab that was still waiting for me. This one, started when I felt Estefania wanted to tell me something, but it was already late and I was very tired…
