Episode 5

Brayan: I position myself in front of Nicole and order them to remove the man from the club. I don't even let them talk to her.

Are you okay?

Nicole: The adrenaline wears off and I feel my hand hurting.

I'm fine, thank you.

Anna: No, you're not, you look like you're in pain, friend.

I observe Nicole's expression of pain.

Brayan: Come on, I'll get some ice for your hand.

I don't let her answer, I take her other hand and lead her to where we were sitting. I ask for a bucket of ice.

Nicole: Don't worry, I'm leaving. No... It can't be! Is that you?

I look at the face of the man who is helping me and I am incredulous, it can't be.

Brayan: It's me. I'm Brayan, nice to meet you, Nicole. I didn't have time to introduce myself earlier.

Nicole: Are you kidding me? You didn't even bother to read my resume? Why? Let me refresh your memory, BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN!

I speak and walk off towards the exit.

Cassio: Damn, dude, she's pissed.

Anna: Wait a minute, is he the guy who interviewed her for the driver's job?

Brayan gets up and goes after Nicole, I'm stunned by the coincidence.

Cassio: Small world, beautiful!

Anna: Very, and he's in danger, you know! kkkkk

Cassio: They'll work it out, now what I'm interested in is you! How old are you?

I start talking to Anna, she is very pleasant. We talk about various things, she leaves me with a good feeling that we've known each other all our lives. Her purse falls, I help her pick up the things that fell out and when I get up I'm so close to her face that I feel our breaths mingling. I run my hand over her waist and the other I place on the back of her neck. I can't resist and start a slow kiss, my tongue asks for passage and she gives in. I savor every sensation I feel while kissing her and stop for lack of air. My heart is beating so fast she might hear it. Who is this woman, my God?!

Anna: After that incredible kiss, where I felt my legs tremble and my heart race, we left the club together. I let Nicole know that I have no time to return.

Outside the club...

Brayan: Wait, Nicole, give me a minute.

Nicole: You have a minute, no more.

Brayan: I'm so sorry about today, I was really sexist!

I say it right away because I know it's the only way to get her to listen to me.

Nicole: Do you know how tiring this is? Do you know how hard it is to be treated differently for being a woman? Do you have any idea how tired I am?

I vent with hatred when I hear him admit he was sexist!

Brayan: I don't know, I can't imagine. That's why I apologize and if you're still interested I'd like to make you an offer!

I speak without thinking, hearing Nicole practically vent about how tired she is of being treated differently for being a woman bothers me.

Nicole: You're going to have to look me in the eye, Brayan, read my entire resume, and not treat me differently.

I can't deny, I have to hear the proposal. I can't be unemployed and working for the richest and most important CEO in New York will open many doors for me.

Brayan: Great, can we talk?

Nicole: I don't want to go back to the club, can we walk along the beach?

Brayan: We can do that.

I take off my sneakers and socks and roll up my pant legs. Nicole takes off her boots and socks and puts them in her car, also letting me put my shoes in the car.

Nicole: You can talk.

Brayan: So, first can I know why a driver?

Nicole: My father! I don't want to say why, but at first it was just to annoy him and then I liked it. I find peace in chaos, traffic is chaos, so I like it.

Brayan: Look, Mario was my driver my whole life, I trust him a lot and I know he wouldn't recommend you if he wasn't trustworthy. It's going to take me a while to get used to, but I'd like to try.

Nicole: Great, I want a contract! There...

I'm talking and I accidentally gesture with my hand that hurts.

Brayan: Are you okay?

Nicole: Yes, my hand is bothering me.

Brayan: Let's go back, better to put some ice on your hand.

Nicole: That's better, it hurts.

We go back, I stop at the club door and check my phone. Anna and Cassio left together. Brayan was with Cassio. Reluctantly I offer him a ride. He's going to be my boss, so it doesn't hurt to start with a kindness.

Want a ride?

Brayan: If it's no bother.

Nicole: It's no bother.

We get in the car in silence, he puts his address on the GPS. I have an excellent memory, I would have no trouble going without GPS. I don't argue, I just follow.

Brayan: I have a feeling the ride was out of politeness, Cassio left me on the street. We continue in silence, I even think about starting a conversation but the mood is tense. We arrived at the mansion quickly.

Nicole: You're here!

The mansion is beautiful, well located and huge.

Brayan: Come in for a bit, let me put some ice on your hand.

Nicole: You don't have to, thank you. I'm close to home.

I finish speaking and feel a strong impact on the car, someone hit a parked car on private property? What are the chances? Thank goodness I was wearing my seatbelt, I just feel a slight discomfort in my neck from the impact.

Katherine: You bastard, how dare you cheat on me? I was waiting for you for our anniversary photoshoot and you're with this slut in the car.

Brayan doesn't show up for the photoshoot and doesn't answer me. I get angry and go to his house, to my surprise he is inside a car with a woman at his door like a lovesick teenager. I can't take it and I ram my armored car right into the bitch's car.

Brayan: Nicole are you okay?

Are you out of your mind, Katherine?

We're talking when I feel a strong impact, I'm absorbing what just happened when Katherine comes over to me and starts yelling! I confirm that Nicole is okay and I get out of the car furious with Katherine.

Nicole: I think I'm okay.

I have a magnet, these things only happen to me. I get out of the car and I'm looking at a tall blonde woman yelling at Brayan. I walk around and I can't believe what I'm seeing, the crazy woman has a supercar. Her car doesn't have a scratch, while mine is destroyed. I put my hands to my head and look at the crazy woman who keeps yelling.

Katherine: I'M MAD WITH ANGER, HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON ME?

I go for Brayan, punching him in the chest with a lot of anger.

Brayan: Katherine, control yourself, I'm not cheating on you.

I hold the arms of Katherine who is clearly out of control.

Katherine: If you weren't cheating on me, what were you doing with this slut in the car? Do you think I'm stupid!

Brayan: If you don't stop yelling and assaulting me, I'm going to ask security to remove you from here immediately. This is Nicole, my new driver, she gave me a ride because Cassio left me on the street!

Katherine: Driver? kkkkkk... Driver? You used to be more creative, Brayan. I was by your side for two years, I didn't complain about your lack of romance, I settled for what you could give me because I loved you. But I can't accept this, what a horrible excuse!

Brayan: That's enough! I'm not going to argue with you. It's over, Katherine, if you don't trust me, there's no point in trying. I never gave you any reason to distrust me, I respected you the entire time we were together. I can't take it anymore.

Nicole: I sit on the floor with my hands on my head still not believing my luck! I'm pretty sure the blonde is going to kill my boss before he can sign my papers, I'm going to keep very quiet because I'm not getting involved in their fight. Enough for today, I'm exhausted!

Katherine: Do you really think you're done with me?! I'm the one who's done with you.

I leave Brayan's house distraught, how could he? He even said that the bitch was his driver, yeah right. I'm so angry, I was strung along for two years and traded for anyone!
