Episode 2

Ricardo - I am in my office, thinking about everything that awaits me with Vanessa tonight, when my mother walks in.

Laura: Hello, son.

Ricardo: Hello, Mother. What brings you here?

Laura: Tonight, Lorena, the daughter of our friend Armando Menz, will be arriving. She will be staying at our house for a long period until she finishes her studies.

Ricardo: What does that have to do with me? Does she expect me to give up my room for that pathetic ugly girl?

Laura: Ricardo! I ask for respect towards Miss Menz. And if I'm here, it's to inform you that your father cannot pick her up from the airport and he needs you to do it.

Ricardo: Oh no, that's not happening. I already have enough seeing her face every day, now I have to go get her from the airport too? What happened to the house drivers? Do they prefer to quit rather than bringing the ugly girl?

Laura: The flight arrives at 7:00 tonight. You'll know whether or not you want to defy your father. See you at home tonight.

Ricardo narrates.

I am in my office, thinking about all the enjoyable things I will do with Vanessa tonight when my mother enters. I knew her visit wouldn't bring anything good, but I never imagined it would be to ask me to go pick up her friend's little girl. I don't understand what makes her so special that a simple driver can't go get her, nor do I understand why my parents consider an ex-employee as a friend and show him so much consideration to the point of allowing his daughter to stay at our house.

The first time I saw that girl, she was around 12 or 13 years old. The pathetic thing couldn't hide her infatuation with me, and I couldn't help but mock her and tell her, "Don't even dream about it, ugly." Even though five years have passed, I imagine she's still the same skinny girl, with short hair and no notable attributes. While it's true that I'm used to being with models, I prefer them with a bit of curves and breasts, not as flat as that girl.

The worst part is that she hasn't even arrived yet, and she's already interfering with my plans. My mother threatened me not to defy my father and left, leaving me with the task of finding the girl. I am thinking about what to do when my assistant, Juan, interrupts me. It immediately occurs to me that he is my solution. I ask Juan to find the girl for me and tell my parents that I am in a meeting. Tonight, I have no intention of going home. I will stay at my bachelor apartment with Vanessa. But before that, I want to take her out to dinner at the finest restaurant and propose to her that we get married when she returns from her trip.

I know it may sound a bit foolish, but for love, I can wait three years for her. Besides, I will use that time for my family to accept her as a De Santis.
