pride and prejudice
First thing Monday morning, Camille is back at Parker, for the weekend she had dedicated herself to
her sister, she really didn''t want to know about thepany, much less about the intentions of her
recent suitors.
But there was something that made her look for Brett, there was something in the work area where
she was and the only one who could rify her doubt about a report, it was precisely him. So, he
approaches his office, where the half-closed door is, he realizes that Brett is not alone, this morning
he was apanied by his friend Mario, without wanting to do it, but with the curiosity that caused
him to hear what they were talking about, he just stands listening at the door.
“I congratte you my dear friend! That you have remained with the presidency of ALF was the
greatest achievement that you could have obtained, now yes, we must absorb thatpany, but
you know you must be very secretive” Brett passes a ss to Mario and congrattes him on his
latest feat.
“Thank you, friend, you don''t know how long I''ve been waiting for this moment, I''m finally going to
recover what belongs to my family, which has been in austerity for so many years” Mario receives
the cup, smiles at him evilly, and they are both toasting.
“I would have paid to see the face of Andy''s idiot, with his pride in the apartment and in front of all
the shareholders”.
“That was a real show! And not to mention his father''s face, they were both pale, for a moment
Samuel thought that Andy, as always, was going toe out on top with all the challenges he gave
him, until I arrive, Ha! But not to mention, because it was with the help of the little woman who is her
secretary, she was the one who helped everything” Camille surprised by everything she was
hearing feels her breathing agitated, she doesn''t know whether to continue listening to the
conversation or leave from there He knew that what that pair of men were doing to Andy was too
unfair. But despite that, she was there, without moving, petrified as a statue.
“Well friend, now all that remains is for you to get rid of that secretary as soon as you can, simply
donate a sum of money to her ount, give her a warning and fire her, and we''ll take care of the
rest”.
They are both nning in a Machiavellian way how to sink Andy, they bothughed at the same
beat as they clinked their sses, Camille couldn''t believe what she was hearing, against Andy
there were ns that could very surely destroy him, but that she nothing could be, because he had
cut off any kind of contact with her, although her heart longed for him and wanted to be with him,
she couldn''t do anything at all.
“Now are you listening behind the doors?!” Gisell''s voice made Camille jump, when she turns to
see her, her cheeks blush and she is immediately embarrassed.
“No, it''s that I came to look for Brett, but I see that he''s busy” Camille''s voice breaks and a drop of
sweat falls from her forehead
“Calm down Camille, I''m not the one to judge you, besides they''re both with Mario, I don''t like him
very much, let''s say, they''re going to stay there for a while. Do you want to go for a coffee?” Brett''s
sister was too kind, she did not have any trait of arrogance like her brother. Camille looks at her and
smiles.
“Okay, yes I need it, I''ll be back” they both go out to a beautiful cafeteria that was in the same
company, they ask for a couple of coffees and for a moment silence reigns between the two, until
Gesell smiles at her and tells her break.
“Camille, please be careful, my brother is willing to conquer you at any cost, but I know from the
rumors in this medium that you were Andy''s partner”.
Camille looks at her and smiles just at the corner of her lips.
“But how fast corridor gossip runs around these parts! No?” she takes a sip of his coffee and turns
her gaze embarrassed.
“It''s not hallway gossip Camille, it''s just that, inadvertently, just as you listen to my brother''s
conversation with Mario, I''m able to hear their bad intentions, maybe they don''t have them with you,
but that of copsing thepetition in an unfair way It doesn''t go with my principles, but Brett was
always my father''s spoiled son, and I have very little opinion here. So that position of vice president
is nothing more than an acronym for my existence”.
“ Really? I can''t believe what you''re telling me, I really have to be impartial, it''s possible that I''ll lookN?velDrama.Org holds this content.
for another job and get out of all this, I''ll only be there for a couple of months because I''m financially
bad, with the death of my mother I''m left with impossible debts to pay and now I have to solve them,
otherwise I would not have epted the offer”.
“You don''t have to leave, just don''t pay attention to Brett, if you refuse the first time, he''s too proud
and surely he won''t keep insisting, but if you give in, you''ll surely be his everything”.
“Well, very surely I will say no, after knowing all your intentions”.
“When we were little I was very friends with Andy, even until youth, but with the enmity of our
families, we did not speak again, I appreciate him very much, but I cannot be the one to help him at
this moment, I am managing to knead my capital to leave the country, and if I do something against
my family it would be sacrilege”.
“I really don''t know what to do, because what they n to do isn''t even illegal, and if Mario
dishonestly won the presidency of ALF, I have no way to prove it”.
“Well, well, it''s in your hands that you look for the solution, for now I have to go, I''m the vice
president, but I have more work than amon employee” The two get up from the table, and each
go their own way.
Camille felt that she had to talk to Andy one more time, insist that he should do everything possible
to recover thepany, although by phone was not an option, she would look for him personally.
That same afternoon she leaves a couple of hours earlier, she had the advantage that being the
head of her area she did not have to report to anyone about her schedules, she would go to ALF,
regardless of Mario being there, it would not prevent her from talking to Andy He no longer cared
about the consequences.
When she got there, because she was a former employee, and Mario''s friend at the same time, she
was not denied entry, so she went straight to Andy''s office unannounced, and as if that had been
the day of the "open doors", what he saw this time he didn''t like it any more than what he saw and
heard that morning.
“Don''t worry, dear! I''m here to give youfort” the sounds of wet kisses came out of the ce
Camille again felt her heart race without being able to.
“I know Greta, thanks for your support, now that I''m not the CEO of thepany, I don''t know if I
can please you as always.”
“Of course, I love you, I like you a lot and I want to make you happy- upon hearing those words
Camille is again invaded by her curiosity and looks through the crack of the half” open door, sees
the image of Gretta standing over Andy, while she kissed him passionately , his hands ran through
the designer''s body, Camille felt her heart break into a thousand pieces again, although she was
already aware that he had been a single man for a long time, it did not stop hurting that he was no
longer with her .
She couldn''t stop a tear from falling down her cheek, but she was going with a goal, regardless of
the way Andy was acting, she had to be mature, and she had to talk to him, and so she just decides
to damage the moment, at the end of bills was for a good cause.
He gives two strong blows on the door, due to the force with which he gave it, it opens, and both are
exposed to Camille''s eyes, Andy with a start pushes Gretta off him, making her stumble against the
floor.
“Andy!” she yells angrily.
“Camille! What are you doing here?” Andy gets up from his chair and adjusts his suit, his cheeks
were flushed, even though he didn''t have anything formal with her, he didn''t want to subject her
again to the embarrassment of seeing him with another woman, he had had enough in the past with
Keyra.
“What a pity to have interrupted them! But Andy I need to talk to you” Camille''s voice broke, as if it
was a sin what she had to talk to him about.
“You have nothing to do here, nor do you have anything to talk about with my fiancé” Gretta scolds
Camille, while she finished adjusting her skirt, at that moment Camille automatically filled with
courage, she was not interested in anything sentimental with him and it was her second attempt to
tell her about the ns that were against her, but fate or rather the new climber was taking care not
to let her.
“I''m not here to take away your fiancé, I''m here to talk about something very important with him,
about thepany”
Andy was still very suspicious of Camille because of the encounters with Mario, so he doesn''t even
let her speak.
“Look, I don''t want to hear what you have to say, you''re a traitor, apart from the fact that you
messed around with Mario, you went to work at the ALFpetition, I imagine that to give them all
the information you know about thepany, right?” a tone of sarcasm joins her voice.
“NO! but what are you talking about?” Camille''s eyes were clouded, a huge lump settled in her
throat-I just want toe warn you, because… -at that moment Gretta interrupts her again
“You have already listened to my fiancé, now get out of here limp, you can dress elegantly and
however you want, but you will not stop being a simple dead fly, so get out of here!” Gretta''s
screams invade the ce.
She stares at Andy in disbelief at what she just heard, he was allowing Gretta to control her
emotions, if deep down he wanted to talk to her, his new girlfriend wasn''t letting him.
Camille makes a gesture of disappointment and leaves there, Andy’s pride, arrogance andck of
good sense were killing the feelings of love that she could have with him, he crossed the doors of
ALF and swore not to return, he it really wasn''t worth one more sacrifice.
Meanwhile Andy, still perplexed by what just happened, sits back in his chair, Gretta looks at him
with desire, she wants to resume what they were doing before Camille came to interrupt.
“Well dear, just look, that withered thing is gone, we can continue what we were doing- she
approaches him again and starts to touch him, but he resents it and doesn''t y along with her”
“Not now Gretta, I''m indisposed” Andy''s face was not very friendly, he was upset, not only with
Camille''s visit, but also with Gretta''s reaction.
“But what happened to you, my love? We were fine, don''t tell me you let yourself be affected by that
one''s visit? Of course, she didn''t have anything important to say, it''s very sure that she is in league
with your enemies to bring you down, pay no attention to her!”.
“That''s clear to me! What is not clear to me is because you said you were my fiancée; we haven''t
even made our rtionship official”.
“Howe we haven''t formalized our rtionship?”
“Yes, so far we haven''t formalized anything Gretta, much less a formalmitment, I like you, yes,
but now it''s not like telling you that I don''t want anything morepromising” Andy leaves his side
and goes to look out the window.
“Oh, Andy, please! It''s okay, we can just have fun for now, I just wanted to say that to that woman to
make her feel bad and that''s it, just a little bit of spice in the situation,e rx, just be happy,
you''ll see that all this will pass very quickly” she approaches and begins to caress him on the back,
he simply rxes, and although the image of Camille did note out of his heart, he lets himself
be carried away by the passionate moment with that woman.
