Episode 3

Lina gives a half-smile as she pours herself a cup of coffee with a piece of bread and goes to Mr. Jose. - Good morning, Mr. Jose. - But her words sound sad

- What's wrong, Lina? You seem a little down, girl. - Mr. Jose says, looking her in the eyes

- Nothing, sir, I'm just sad. My friend's mother came to see me and gave me bad news. Her daughter, my friend Sofia, died. She had been sick for a long time -

- Poor girl, I'm sorry, Lina. - Mr. Jose pauses, and then says. - You say she was sick for a long time. At least, Lina, she's stopped suffering -

- Yes, that's what Mrs. Beatriz told me. - Lina takes a sip of coffee, and soon after, some customers start to arrive. Lina starts serving them coffee with bread, and in a few minutes, her two co-workers arrive, and each of them starts with their respective tasks. This is how the first hours of the morning pass

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the city, in the old mansion, Cedrick is in his cold, dark room. He wakes up lying on the floor, almost naked, looking around, trying to see where he is. - Dammit, again -

**- When will the day come when all this ends? - At that moment, his employee, driver, and friend Willy enters and says to him -.

Cedrick, remember that in a few days, it will be a full moon -**

- I know, I don't forget. I don't know how much longer I can take it. Sometimes I think it would be better to be dead than to be living this damned hell every night -

- You know very well what the cure is, you just have to find the girl who really falls in love with you. - It's time to let go of the memories and start over, sir -

- You know I can't. - Cedrick tells Willy as they enter the bathroom to take a shower. Willy says to him. - Tell me now, where did you go? -

Cedrick replies. - I don't know, lately I don't remember where I go anymore -

- You should try not to go out, you could be seen. Until now, no one has discovered you. But if that were to happen, they could shoot you or worse, they could kill you -.

Cedrick is left thinking about what Willy has just told him.

- You're right, I hadn't thought of that -

A few minutes later, Cedrick comes out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. When he is in front of the enormous mirror, he notices that he has a slight scratch on his side. Willy says. - How did you get that? -

- I don't know, now that I was showering, I felt it hurting, but I didn't think I was injured -.

Willy goes for the first aid kit. - See what I mean? -

Willy treats Cedrick's wound. Once he finishes, Cedrick finishes getting dressed and leaves the room and heads to the exit of the house, where Willy and the four other men who are his security are already waiting for him.

Cedrick gets in the car with Willy and the other guys leave in another car

After an hour's drive, they are arriving at his company, as the CEO that he is. All the employees drool over him when they see him, they dream of becoming Mrs. Mondragon, but Cedrick hardly ever looks at them. His assistant immediately follows him to his office, bringing him all the pending matters he has for that day

Cedrick immediately says to her, with that deep and slightly hoarse voice, that makes anyone's hair stand on end. - What do I have for today? -

His assistant says to him. - You have a meeting at 1 pm with the new investors, then you have lunch at 3 and you have a meeting with your partner Mrs. Santos, in a few minutes, to be exact -

- Well, as soon as the lady arrives, let her in, I don't like to keep her waiting. - At that moment, a girl arrives wearing a slightly provocative dress showing her long legs and high heels, which make her look much taller. - Hello Cedrick, how are you? When will the day come when you accept to have dinner with me? -

Cedrick signals to his assistant to leave his office. The girl places herself on the wide desk, pushing aside the pile of documents. Cedrick unbuttons his jacket, places it behind his seat and then sits down saying - Ah, to what do I owe your visit, Blenda? -

The girl replies with a smile on her face. - I wanted to see you, that's why I came, since you don't invite me out, well, I came to invite you to dinner at my house -

Cedrick only looks at her sideways and says to her. - I'm afraid I couldn't attend that dinner, but I thank you for your invitation -.

- Why do you always say no to me, Cedrick? - The girl gets up from where she is sitting, approaches Cedrick leaning over almost showing him the voluptuousness of her breasts. - Or are you afraid of me, Cedrick, that's why you don't want to go to my house? -

Cedrick quickly pulls her by the arm in front of him, and sits her on his lap, Blenda is left without saying a word, she thinks that Cedrick did it, because something is going to happen between them at that moment, but Cedrick says to her. - You really want to know me, I don't think you'll like it -

After telling her this, Cedrick. Growls like a fierce animal, close to her ear which makes the girl scared and gets up quickly leaving the office, almost running. Cedrick laughs out loud and says. - And that you haven't seen anything yet, and you already ran away -

When he is about to continue with his pending matters, Mrs. Lilia Santos arrives. - What did you do to that poor girl, that she is so scared? -

Cedrick replies to Lilia very smiling for the prank, that he just did. - She wants to meet me and I just gave her a small demonstration and she ran away -

Lilia starts laughing out loud. - You'll never get a wife that way -.

Cedrick gives a long sigh and then says to her. You know it will be impossible. - Lilia just looks at him with affection, and says to him.

- Cedrick, you must give yourself another opportunity, to meet girls, who says that in one of them you will find the girl, who truly loves you selflessly -
