Heitor Bitencourt
I never got involved in the employees' issues, I always left that to Magnolia who is competent and as I mentioned before, I have my utmost confidence in her and it will always be that way because I'm not crazy to let her go. At no point did I realize that Verena was interested in me, but I will only be her boss.
Seeing Luna so sensitive made me feel bad because I didn't expect her to be so fragile even though I know Verena crossed the line. On impulse, I caressed her face and her soft hand, making her smile a little.
*Heitor* - I couldn't let you hit her, it would be a waste of time.
*Luna* - I know Heitor, I'm sorry for that, I have a lot of patience, but I'm not made of steel.
*Heitor* - Don't apologize, beautiful, you were just defending yourself.
Once again, I caress her face, under the watchful eyes of my housekeeper who is not foolish and is quite talkative.
*Magnolia* - Oh, youth and the magic of enchantment...
*Heitor* - What did you say, Magnolia?
*Magnolia* - I didn't say anything, Heitor... Luna, my dear, eat because the food will get cold.
*Luna* - I'll do that, Aunt Mag, the smell is wonderful.
*Heitor* - I'm not a big fan of pasta, but I'll eat it anyway.
I say this and start eating, and even though I don't like pasta very much, I enjoy Adelaide's lasagna. While eating, I look at how beautiful Luna is, even while eating, and what I'm feeling at that moment when...
*Luna* - Aunt Mag, I need to buy a new SIM card, where can I buy one around here?
*Magnolia* - In the town center, my dear, but why are you changing your number?
*Luna* - Because I want to detach from the countryside and only have my parents' contacts.
*Heitor* - Are you running away from someone?
I ask this and notice that she became nervous, even trembling hands. She puts the fork in her mouth without saying anything when Magnolia asks.
*Magnolia* - You can tell us, Luna, don't be afraid of Heitor, did something happen?
*Luna* - I'm running away from my ex-boyfriend, he's not a very nice guy and... oh, I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about it, I'm sorry.
*Magnolia* - It's okay, dear, you don't have to talk about it, have you called your parents to let them know you arrived safely?
*Luna* - Not yet, Aunt, I'm waiting for my cell phone to charge to call them, they must already be worried.
*Magnolia* - Finish eating and use the house phone, tomorrow I'll find a way to buy you a new SIM card.
*Luna* - Thank you, Aunt Mag, but can you explain how everything works here?
*Magnolia* - There's not much to do here, dear, since only Heitor and now the two of us live here, everything is always clean. The rooms are cleaned every day, downstairs too, the curtains are changed twice a week, sheets every other day, and you'll help Adelaide in the kitchen.
*Heitor* - Quite different from what you did on the farm, isn't it?
*Luna* - Yes, it is. On the farm, I helped my mom with planting and cleaning the house, helped my dad with the animals and shopping.
*Heitor* - It doesn't seem like you did all that with these delicate hands.
I say, making her blush again, and end up smiling because she becomes even more beautiful when embarrassed. Dinner proceeds normally, and as soon as we finish, Magnolia speaks.
*Magnolia* - Luna, call your parents and go rest for a bit, you need it.
*Luna* - I'll do that, Aunt Mag, but first I'll help with the dishes.
*Magnolia* - Absolutely not, Luna, go rest, we'll take care of it in no time, Adelaide and I.
*Luna* - Alright then, thank you for letting me sit at the table, good night.
*Heitor* - Good night, beautiful! Rest well.
I say this and smile, making her smile too, and then I see her leave the table and go to the other room where she calls her parents. After talking to them, she smiles once more and goes up to her room. I stay at the table, as well as Magnolia, who says to me.
*Magnolia* - I have no idea what happened, but from what Leila, her mother, said, it seems that Luna's ex-boyfriend is not a good person, that's why she decided to send Luna here.
*Heitor* - Do you have any idea what could have happened?
*Magnolia* - No, Heitor, but I know Luna since she was born because her mother and I grew up together and have always been best friends, so I know Luna very well. She seems sad, disappointed, something like that.
*Heitor* - I see. She's beautiful, isn't she? She's about 18 years old, right?
*Magnolia* - Yes, boss, she is exactly 18 years old. Now, let me help Adelaide in the kitchen, excuse me, my dear.
*Heitor* - Of course, I think I'll go to bed now. I won't leave there tonight. Good night.
Magnolia smiles and then leaves the table and I also go up to my room. I know tonight will be complicated because Luna doesn't leave my mind. I go to the closet and put on just sweatpants and no shirt, I lie down.
Why is this girl affecting me so much? Why does knowing that she ran away from her town because of her boyfriend make me angry? What is this, my God?
