Episode 13

RETURNING HOME......

HEITOR SMITH.....

Eduardo was already driving me crazy. If it weren't for this wedding, I would have sent him to the hospital already...

I don't know if I did the right thing getting close to Alicia, it only messed up my feelings more. Well, I don't know for sure what I'm feeling. Alicia is even beautiful, but I don't want to get attached to anyone, that doesn't suit Heitor Smith....

I still want to enjoy myself a lot; I don't want to live trapped forever with one woman. Ahh, I'm going crazy.... this only makes the situation worse, but on the other hand, it's good...

The attraction I feel for her really stirs me up; it's an explosion of feelings...

I already know what I'm going to do. Nothing that a fling can't solve. I can't wait to go back home tomorrow. I'll look for some place to satisfy myself,....

The party was long, ending at dawn. Alicia and I talked a lot about random things; Cesar and Vitoria were watching us the whole time....

In the morning I get up, do my bathroom routine, and start packing my suitcase. We will return at night. Vitoria and Cesar left early to enjoy their honeymoon...

I go downstairs to have my coffee on the porch and my father appears...

LUIZ: Heitor? __ my father says, approaching

HEITOR: Yes

LUIZ: Son, what's going on between you and Alicia?

HEITOR: Nothing, she and I are just friends, that's all, nothing more. __ I say, wanting to cut off the subject

LUIZ: I know you, Heitor... but you know what you're doing... I just hope that if something ever happens between you two, I hope you don't hurt her, understand? __ He gets up, waiting for my answer...

HEITOR: I repeat, nothing is going to happen. Well, I'm going ahead, I have some business to take care of __ I say, going back inside, leaving my father intrigued.

Maybe this is the best way to resolve this issue: by distancing myself. If I distance myself, everything will go back to how it was....

I grab my suitcase and go straight to the car. It's not long before I'm flying, my thoughts racing,...

Upon arriving at my mansion... yes, I have a mansion all to myself, but sometimes I go to my parents' house, but it's rare, but it's in the same city...

I go up with my suitcase, leave it in the corner, and throw myself on the bed...

HEITOR: This feeling has to pass, or I'm literally f*#%ed __ I say to myself.

Now that Cesar is traveling, I won't have anyone to vent to, and I'm not going to interrupt their intimate moment.

I call my secretary to organize everything for tomorrow, as I'll be working from my company. I want to be friends with Alicia, but the further away, the better for both of us....

I end up falling into a deep sleep, and when I wake up, it's already past 6:00 PM. I get up and get ready to try to distract myself.... I arrive at the club and immediately head to the VIP area. Soon a blonde approaches me and starts massaging my shoulders. I drink the double whiskey and begin to relax. The woman comes and sits on my lap...

WOMAN: I can make you more relaxed, handsome __ she says, getting up and pulling me to a room at the back of the club.

She throws me on a bed and starts taking off her clothes and comes onto me...

But when she touches me, I feel nothing, not even desire, and to tell you the truth, not even my partner reacted. I push the woman away and get up...

WOMAN: Come back here... __ she says, all seductive.

Without looking back, I get dressed and leave there, returning to the mansion.

That was all I needed...

ALICIA GARCIA....

The party was good and very fun. I had never had so much fun. The party lasted until dawn...

I got up early to say goodbye to Vitoria, then I went back to the room to organize my things. The trip would be in the evening...

I didn't see Heitor during the day. Dona Eva told me later that he returned early to resolve some matters... wait, who resolves work matters on a Sunday? Nothing against it.

For a brief moment I felt sad, but then I put myself in my place; what do you expect from an ogre... you know what? I don't care anymore. If he talks to me, I'll talk; if not, fine... wait, what the hell am I saying? I've never been one to care about men...

I spent the rest of the day in the room, and when it was time for the trip, we went to the runway where the jet was...

It wasn't long before I was home, unpacking. I looked out the window, and the night was beautiful...

I set aside an outfit to go to work tomorrow. After all, Heitor will go to Vitoria's company and take care of it until she returns from her trip...

After showering, I went to find something to eat. There wasn't much, but it was enough for me. Besides, it was just me. After the meal, I went back to the room, lay down, and soon fell asleep...

THE NEXT MORNING...

The sun's rays invaded my bedroom window. I got up and started getting ready, nothing exaggerated...

Minutes after leaving the house, I couldn't miss the bus. Two blocks later I arrived at the bus stop, and it didn't take long for it to arrive....

Upon arriving at the company, I start organizing everything in its proper place, answering some calls, and scheduling several meetings....

I was already getting anxious with Heitor's delay, and the schedule was already huge, until the phone rang....

CALL ON ✅

ALICIA: Smith Company, how can I help you?

HEITOR: Coming to my office to bring that schedule __ he says and then hangs up...

CALL OFF 📴

Oh, so that's how it is? He'll see just how professional I am. Heitor Smith, just you wait....

I take my bag with the schedule and go down to get a taxi.

Minutes later, I'm in front of the building, admiring it. I check that everything is okay and enter. I go straight to the receptionist and am directed to the top floor, the executive floor, or rather, the CEO's floor...

The elevator doors open, and I come face to face with none other than Luize. I pretend I didn't see her and go straight to the secretary...

SECRETARY: How can I help you? __ she says, looking at me with a smile.

ALICIA: I'm Vitoria's secretary, and I came to bring the schedule.

SECRETARY: Yes, the boss told me you were coming. Just a moment. __ she says, picking up the phone.

I step away from the desk, and the snake comes up to me...

LUIZE: Look at the saint coming after my man. __ she says, crossing her arms.

ALICIA: I'm here to work, unlike you. __ I say, looking her up and down and walking away.

Seriously? Heitor got back together with her? ...... It's good to stay away from him; this was never going to work anyway. It was reckless...

SECRETARY: He's waiting for you. __ she says to me.

I start walking towards the office and knock on the door. That deep voice echoes from inside the room...

HEITOR: Come in.
