Episode 10

Luiza

Who could it be at a time like this?

Ingrid

No Luiza, don't open it.

Luiza

Why?

Ingrid

Ah...

Ingrid tries to think of an excuse because she can't say that the secretary was there at that time, it could be bad Sebastian could fire him or worse if he found out about the kiss.

Ingrid

It's raining and it's dawn, it could be a madman.

She immediately puts her hand over her mouth, Ingrid doesn't like lying and she didn't want to lie to Luiza, but she didn't want to hurt Secretary Jonatan either.

Luiza

If you're scared, stay here, but be careful with the glass, how did you make such a perfect bandage all by yourself?

Ingrid

Well, I'd better go and see who's at the door.

Luiza

You look very strange, are you sure you're all right?

Ingrid

I know, I'm sorry Luiza.

Luiza

Wait here.

Luiza goes to the door and opens it to see her boss Sebastian soaking wet.

Luiza

Sir? Come in, you're soaking wet and shivering, I'll make you some tea.

Ingrid

Luiza? Who's Luiza?

Luiza

It's Mr. Jones, he's all wet.

When Ingrid hears this, she goes to the side of the sofa and picks up the blanket that is there and brings it to Sebastian.

Ingrid

It gets hot in here, a man of your age should take more care of himself, stay out until this hour and still get rained on.

Sebastian

A man my age? How old am I, Ingrid?

It's the first time Sebastian has called Ingrid by her name and she's noticed.

Ingrid

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, it's more of a concern, you should take care of yourself.

Sebastian

I want you to tell me, how old do you think I am?

Luiza was returning with the tea she had prepared for her boss

Ingrid

Fifty.

Sebastian begins to smile at her answer, and for a second Ingrid thinks that his smile must be very beautiful given how he sounded.

Sebastian

So you think I'm 50 and you still agreed to marry me?

Luiza

Mr. Jones is not that old, he...

Sebastian signals for her to be quiet and she does.

Ingrid

So how old are you?

Sebastian

I don't think it matters, but I can tell you that I'm not fifty.

Ingrid

Why are you always so vague?

Sebastian

Why don't you trust me, do you?

Ingrid

And I should?

Sebastian

lol, I can make you trust me.

Sebastian didn't want to tell Ingrid that he kissed her, because she doesn't trust him and will end up pushing him away, but once he's managed to change the way she sees him, he can explain everything to her.

Sebastian

Tomorrow I'll start with the revenge you want.

Ingrid

What are you going to do? I don't want you to hurt them.

Sebastian

You want me to take away what they like best, that's what I'm going to do, but I can't guarantee that they won't get hurt, I can only guarantee that I won't hurt them, okay?

Ingrid

Ok.

I'm looking at her, then I notice Luiza watching us, so I stand up.

Sebastian

I'm going to go upstairs, take a shower and rest, you should go to bed too.

Luiza

Yes sir.

Luiza goes to the kitchen and cleans up the shards of glass, then Ingrid finally drinks her water and then they both go to the bedroom, the sound of the rain on the window lulling everyone in the house to sleep.

The next morning

Ingrid wakes up feeling a little sore from the cut on her foot, she wears her slippers in the morning because it's more comfortable, she sits down to have coffee Sebastian comes down soon after and sits next to her.

Sebastian

How's your foot?

Ingrid

How do you know?

She asks in obvious surprise, and I'm an idiot - I wouldn't have known she'd hurt her foot if I'd arrived later.

Sebastian

Well, when I arrived yesterday I saw that you were bandaged up, or were you wearing it because it was fashionable?

Ingrid

Oh yes, I cut myself yesterday, it hurts a bit.

Sebastian

Can I have a look? Maybe there's something in the wound.

Ingrid

You don't, don't worry.

He taps his index finger on the table as he looks at Ingrid, and she takes his hand.

Ingrid

Stop that noise please, it's agonizing.

Sebastian then holds Ingrid's hand, when she notices she pulls her hand away from his and Sebastian sneezes.

Ingrid

Are you all right?

Sebastian

Yes.

Ingrid

Arriving wet this morning, I may be catching a cold.

Sebastian

I'm fine, don't worry. I need to go to work.

Ingrid

Aren't you going to have breakfast?

Sebastian

I'll eat something at the office.

Ingrid

What does your company do?

Sebastian

Can we talk about this later? I really need to go.

Ingrid

Alright.

He leaves and I go have my coffee with Luiza. She gives me some medicine for the pain and we spend the day talking and walking around the garden. We even take a swim in the heated pool, which is helpful since it's not warm due to the rain. Afterwards, we go inside, have a warm cup of coffee, and I sit on the couch to listen to an audiobook.

At work, Sebastian is feeling a bit unwell. His body feels heavy and he has a bad headache. Finally, he decides to go home. When he arrives, he doesn't see Ingrid on the couch, so he goes upstairs and collapses onto the bed. Worried, Ingrid puts her hand on the railing and slowly goes up. Luiza had already shown her the second floor, so she knows which room is his. When she gets there, she goes to knock on the door, but she doesn't feel it, indicating that it's open.

Ingrid

Sebastian?

With a weak voice, he responds.

Sebastian

Ingrid? What are you doing here?

Ingrid

I was just worried. Can I come in?

Sebastian

It's probably better if you don't. I think I'm sick.

After hearing that, she walks over to Sebastian's bed and tries to touch his face, but he stops her. Even his hand feels hot.

Ingrid

You have a fever. I'm going to call Luiza. We need to call a doctor.
