SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

The Narrator:

-Good evening! -greeted with a very honeyed and whispery voice Mirelys, dressed in a transparent black baby doll, which covered absolutely nothing.

-Good night! -answered Sofia with her sweet, pleasant voice, but with a look, on the contrary, enigmatic.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

-Sorry to bother you at this hour! But, before going to sleep with my boyfriend – Mirelys emphasized – I thought it necessary to clarify something with you.

-Hello! -Responded Sofia with a subjective attitude, doubtful and without understanding the words of the stranger.

“Although I don’t know if you were wrong, because I don’t even know who your boyfriend is,” she replied with a fake smile, remembering the scene of the afternoon, where this woman hugged Rafael by the waist.

-I mean, didn’t Rafael tell you who I am? -she questioned, making Sofia feel resentment against him. Since he had not been clear with her and even invited her to come to his ranch, living here with his girlfriend.

-Honestly! I see no reason why he should explain to me who you are,” Sofia said, opening her arms.

“If I’m not mistaken, he was very clear this afternoon as far as I’m concerned, I’m a client who came to negotiate three foals, for my children,” she affirmed, feeling sorry for him, having such a toxic woman as a girlfriend or partner.

-Allegedly! -Mirelys protested.

-In any case, Miss, and for your peace of mind, I inform you that we have already closed the business and I am leaving this hacienda early in the morning,” announced Sofia, upset by this situation, also remembering Yoly del Mar, who also acted as her girlfriend, in Ciudad La Rosa.

“Apparently, Rafael is a playboy and don juan. He’s not as honest and sincere as I thought, he’s just another one of the bunch”, she thought, very disappointed.

“Ha! And I thought he was a prince charming”, she weighed internally.

-I’m glad! -Well, I really don’t like to see any woman hovering around my boyfriend,” she objected haughtily.

However, as when it comes to that, there is no one to beat the arrogant CEO of the most important shipping company of Paradise Island, as of the entire surrounding region, Sofia Morales Borbon, belonging to the cream of the society of her country, said:

-You can, rest assured! -She confirmed, “I am not interested in your boyfriend at all,” she added immediately with arrogance.

“In any case, if I were interested, rest assured that you would be no match for me,” he assured, emphasizing the last words with disdain and looking at her over his shoulder.

-That was not what I perceived a few minutes ago, when you went out on the terrace with him! Nor when you said good-bye, here at the door of the room,” she cried.

-I beg your pardon? -Sofia questioned with feelings of rejection and dislike towards her.

“What’s wrong with this toxic woman?” reasoned Sofia, mentally.

-I was just interested in clarifying with you that Rafael is my boyfriend! And I’m not willing to let just anyone come and take what’s mine,” she objected, looking around.

-Ha! Really, to be his official girlfriend, you act like a common thief, sneaking around in the dark,” Sofia whispered, not caring at all about what she said or thought.

-It seems to me that you were not taught the rules of urbanism, especially when you are a guest in someone else’s house,” replied Mirelys, losing her temper and moving closer to Sofia, without thinking about the consequences of her actions.

-I care little or nothing about what you suppose,” Sofia murmured. I am not going to lose my hours of dreams for a talk that offers me no profit.

“I am a businesswoman,” she confessed, “not a man-hunter or stalker. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go to sleep,” throwing open the door with a single blow. Mirelys ran to her room so that no one would notice what she had done.

“Toxic that one!” considered Sofia as she closed the door and turned off the light.

She went to bed, wishing that time would pass quickly, so that it would dawn and she could leave that hacienda, as soon as possible, without returning to this one, ever again.

The next day, Sofia:

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I remembered was the unfortunate encounter with Rafael’s girlfriend. I got up, went into the bathroom, cleaned up and dressed comfortably for the two trips we were to take, first by road and then by jet.

Then, I went to my mother’s room, I told her very briefly what had happened to me with Rafael’s girlfriend and she, sympathizing with me, helped me so that we would leave before the scheduled time, so that he would not accompany us.

Afterwards, we went to my children’s room, without waking them up, I dressed them comfortably. Meanwhile, my mother looked for the chauffeur and the bodyguard, so that they would take the children to the van first.

When we were leaving our rooms, having left everything arranged, we met Rafael’s aunt Anastasia in the hallway, and we said goodbye to her, thanking her for her kind attention.

-Thank you, Mrs. Anastasia! For all your attentions and kindness,” I thanked her, without any concern at being caught leaving the house without saying goodbye.

-What do you mean, they are leaving? Rafael had told me they were leaving later so as not to disturb the children’s sleep,” Anastasia told me, probably embarrassed for not getting up earlier.

-They are already in the van. From here to the city, they sleep for a while, since we have to take an early flight,” said my mother, sorry that she was surprised when she left without saying goodbye to anyone.

-And Rafael, isn’t he going with you? -his aunt asked.

-No!” I answered immediately, “There is no need for him to bother with us anymore. Please tell him to give me an account where I can transfer the payment for the three foals and the amount of the price.

-I understand that this was a gift! -Anastasia reminded me, surprised, thoughtful and who seemed to be hesitating.

-No, Anastasia! I was clear with your nephew, they receive gifts from us, their family, no one else,” I clarified, arrogantly.

-Oh, gee, I’m sorry, Sofia! I didn’t mean to bother you or meddle in your business, I offer you my sincere apologies! -She asked me, blushing and feeling aggrieved, taking a step back, so that we could leave.

-There is nothing to apologize for! -was my response alone, and I tried to continue on my way to the stairs.

My mother, disagreeing with my attitude towards Anastasia, approached her, hugged her and kissed her cheek thanking her for everything. I recognize that she took great care of us and I behaved like an ingrate, but I was very angry.

-I apologize for the bad thing Estefania! I tried to make them feel at home, but apparently I didn’t succeed,” exclaimed Anastasia with humility and truly affected by the way I spoke to her.

-No, on the contrary, I’m sorry, we were leaving without saying goodbye! -My mother exclaimed, making me feel rude. “However, it was precisely to avoid Rafael’s problems,” she argued, speaking otherwise.

-In any case, everything is ready, we brought the driver and one of our escorts,” I added, to end this conversation so that no one else would get up to say goodbye.

-Quiet! You can leave whenever you want, I don’t think my nephew’s intention was different. He has always been a gentleman,” said Anastasia, with a distant look.

After those words, we went downstairs in silence. Rafael’s aunt remained there, standing at the front door of the house. She did not approach me again, nor my children.

However, she watched as my truck drove along the traffic circle that led out, towards the main gate of the Hacienda…
