ANDY and CAMILLE
ANDY and CAMILLE
Four o''clock in the morning, the thunderous noise of the rm wakes Andy up.
ring! ring! ring! ring!
Andy Alf reaches for his bedside table, with one touch he deactivates his rm and opens his eyes,
he waits about two minutes and stands up, his slippers are on the right side of his bed in perfect
order, Andy ps his hands twice and the light in his roomes on.
It is time to start with his daily routine, he wakes up a little, and in less than ten minutes he is taking
an ice water shower, he has calcted his time, he uses a smart watch that marks how long the
bath shouldst, so he defines his time perfectly, after the fifteen minutes programmed, there he is
getting dressed with his sports clothes perfectly organized to go to do his exercise routine in the
gym of his mansion.
At six o''clock in the morning, after having done his body maintenance routine, he takes a shower
again, now with warm water to rx his muscles, fifteen minutester, hebs his hair perfectly,
massages his body with a fine cream, dresses in a dark ck tinum suit, grooms his beard as
every day, perfumes himself with one of the best French fragrances that his mother has given him
and wears a beautiful gold Rolex on his left hand, which matches perfectly with his divinity. And
although he was not an entirely vain being, he was overly obsessive about order, presentation,
schedules, grooming, and perfection.
Everything in his room was perfectly arranged, he had an adjoining room that served as his closet,
each garment in his closet was ordered by tones and uses, his shirts had to be perfectly ironed, his
sportswear was not used more than twice and he exchanged them, he had a person hired to take
care of his clothes exclusively, if he did not like something he immediately changed it, or simply
discarded it.
Andy was a young multimillionaire, an economist by profession, with a couple of doctorates and a
master''s degree, he was the CEO of thergest exportpany in the city, ALF Y ASOCIADOS
Company, the sess of thispany was due to the hard work of its CEO to business and
management.
Besides being a sessful businessman, he was young, he was only twenty-six years old, he was
handsome, tall, his skin tone made his sensuality stand out, it was a cinnamon skin, dark brown
eyes, his lock beard surrounded his jaw, his hair in perfect order showed how well cared for he was.
Despite being the CEO of hispany and being able to have all the privileges he wanted, he was
the first person to arrive at his office, at eight in the morning he was already starting his duties, the
day before his cleaning employees were in charge of leaving everything in its ce, his chair
perfectly clean, his desk without a single trace of dust, his few paintings without a single uneven
angle and his sculpturesy perfectly cared for. The aroma emanating from that office would attract
the heart of any woman.
On the other side of the country**
“Camille, daughter, get up, you have to go to work at the cafeteria, hurry up little daughter, you''ll be
late!”
“Mom, mmm, I''m up!” Camillees down the stairs of her humble house with shuffling steps, her
slippers are so worn out that if anything they can cover her feet from the cold floor, her hair is in
total disarray, her pajamas are a long old T-shirt of her deceased father, and her face is covered by
two huge dark circles under her eyes from not sleeping.
“Daughter, did you get any rest?” Ang asks her daughter.
“Not much mom,st night they extended my shift at that cafeteria, I had to work overtime, and I
epted, we need your medicines and food for little Carin” Camille approaches her mother and
gives her a kiss on the cheek.
“Dear, have you received any response from the capital city from any of thepanies where you
have been looking for a job?” Ang looks at her daughterpassionately.
“No mom, not being a graduate of a recognized university doesn''t give me any opportunity," Camille
looks frustrated at her psychologist diploma, which is hanging as the only decoration in the living
room.
Camille, a young woman of twenty-four years old, lived with her parents in a small town a few hours
from the capital, with the great effort of her father she entered a small university nearby where she
managed to obtain her degree a year ago as a psychologist, while she achieved this small triumphProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.
two important events changed in her life.
Her father died in a traffic ident, leaving her mother alone to take care of her and her little sister
Salome, who is now ten years old. As if that were not enough, her mother was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer, which required an aggressive treatment to save her life and prevented her from
returning to work, so Camille, to survive with her family, had to take her mother''s ce in the
cafeteria, since there was no work in town for a professional like her.
For a long time, she insisted, sending her resume, and applying to well-knownpanies in the
capital, waiting for a response from one of them, but her hopes were fading away as she did not
receive any, she felt that she was going to stay forever working in that ce.
That morning after saying goodbye to his mother, taking his little sister to school, he receives a call
on his old phone, he didn''t know the number, however, he decides to answer.
“Hello?” she says in a very colloquial tone.
“Good morning, Miss, I''m calling from ALF & ASSOCIATES, is this Camille Ibis?” asks a woman on
the other end of the line.
“Good morning! Excuse me for my way of answering, if you are speaking to her, please tell me.”
“You applied for a vacancy in ourpany as head of human resources, I see that you are a
professional in psychology, aren''t you?”
“Yes, yes I am!” Camille''s voice now sounded excited.
“Do you have any additional studies, such as a diploma, doctorate, or master''s degree?” The
woman on the other end of the line asks suspiciously.
“No, not really” Now Camille knows that she will be rejected again, as in the previous offers.
“Well, Miss Ibis, your tests were one hundred out of one hundred, but because of your academic
profile, now we could only offer you a vacancy as a secretary in the human resources area, we
need one urgently”.
“Secretary? And how much would the sry be?” She says frustrated by what she has just been
offered.
“Well, her sry would be about two thousand a month, plus her legal benefits, plus every two
months she would have an extra bonus for her performance, not to mention that she would only
work from Monday to Friday from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon”.
Upon hearing the working conditions that Camille was being offered, she remained silent, trying to
assimte that it was four times what she was currently earning, and she could not believe it, she
made sure to corroborate what she was hearing.
“Are you serious, Miss?” she asks doubtfully.
“I don''t understand your question, I am calling you for a quite formal offer, check your email, if you
are interested, we will expect you on Monday at thepany, remember that all your hiring is
immediate and will be digital, so you would only have toe to work if you sign your contract
before six o''clock in the evening”.
“Perfect Miss, thank you very much, I''ll check my mail, thank you very much!” Camille jumps like an
excited child,ughing with happiness in the street and although it is not what she expected for her
profession, the conditions were right, and she could help her mother even more.
Camille had applied to thispany about seven months ago, every month she presented different
tests and interviews and had already lost hope of finding a vacancy in this ce.
She was so happy that she had forgotten that she had to sign the contract before a fixed time, when
she realized it was already seven o''clock at night, in her town the public inte sites were closed
at six thirty, she had to look for a ce where she could check.
“No, it can''t be, damn it, the only good opportunity in my life and I lose it because of my absent”
mindedness, it can''t be!
