Episode 17

By the time Jazmin woke up, it was already morning, but the curtains didn't let any sunlight into the room. Her head hurt as if it was about to explode. She opened her eyes and looked beside her to see that Emilio had already left. She looked at her body, which was completely naked, closed her eyes, and remembered what had happened the previous night, everything that had been said and done.

"Jazmin, what have you done?!" she said to herself, bringing her hands to her face. Looking on the nightstand, she saw a glass with water and a note that said, "It will take away your headache."

She got up, took the pills, and walked naked to the bathroom. She opened the shower and stepped in as steam billowed out. She could feel the heat relieving her headache.

When she came out, she looked at her dress, which was completely torn. She sighed as she remembered and searched Emilio's closet. She took a pair of pants and a sweatshirt and put on the sneakers he had left behind. Then she went down to the kitchen.

"Miss Jazmin, aren't you going to have breakfast?" said Fabiola, smiling.

"No, thank you, I'm already late for work," she said, embarrassed.

"Wait, give me a few minutes, I'll make you some chilaquiles to take with you."

"Ah, okay, if it's not too much trouble," she said, walking to the kitchen.

Fabiola looked at her with curiosity, as no woman had ever been in that place, and Jazmin was very simple and nothing like Emilio.

"Fabiola, you are Emilio's nanny, right?" Jazmin said, looking at a photo.

"Yes, ever since he was born, I have worked for the Conner family."

"Mmm, was he always so serious and devoid of emotions?"

"Oh no, miss, my boy Emilio used to be full of laughter, but his father made him take charge of the company, and little by little, he changed, especially with Mrs. Charlotte's illness," said Fabiola sadly, packing the food.

"Mrs. Charlotte is sick?"

"Yes, she was diagnosed with cancer, and she decided not to receive treatment. This made Emilio very upset. He would spend days locked in his room until Mrs. Charlotte came to talk to him."

"So, she decided to die?!"

"Yes, but please don't mention that I told you. It's a very delicate subject for him."

"Don't worry, Fabiola, I won't say anything. I'm already leaving. If I don't finish my work, Emilio will be upset. Thank you very much!"

Jazmin left the house, and Brus was already waiting for her outside.

"Miss, I'll take you," he said, opening the car door.

"Don't worry, Brus, I'll take a taxi."

"I insist, Miss. Emilio sent me for you."

"Alright," she said, getting into the car.

When they arrived, Brus opened the door for her to get out, and she went up to Emilio's office. A secretary told her that Emilio was looking for her.

Jazmin became very nervous about what had happened the previous night, but she went to Emilio's office, entered without knocking, and silently walked behind him. Emilio was on the phone and didn't hear her approach.

He was speaking happily, and everything seemed fine until Jazmin heard,

"Tell me how much you need and how you're going to please me," Emilio said, still talking on the phone. When he turned around and saw Jazmin in front of him, his smile disappeared.

Jazmin said nothing, just sat down in front of his desk, avoiding eye contact.

Emilio quickly ended the call as he saw her.

"Oh, little bear, I didn't know you were here!" he said.

"Don't worry, finish your call. It seems interesting. I'll come back later," Jazmin said, standing up to leave.

"I'm done already, little bear, come here!" He said, pushing his chair back, leaving his legs free.
