Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 9

Once I formed a plan , I answered the call , forcing myself to greet him amiably when the call connecte

d . _ _ “ Honey ! ”

“ Honey , why did you take so long to answer ? Are you busy ? ” Carlos ‘ voice sounded gentle . _

“ I was busy ”, I made

sure I remained calm as I gave my answer . “ Honey , I just got a call from President Freitas . He told m

e that I need to go on a weeklong business trip to take

care of an urgent matter ., so I was planning to call you about it . _ _

” That ‘s a pretty long period for a business trip “. There was surprise in her tone of his voice .

“ Yes , although I don’t want to

leave you and Bianca , my company could n’t find someone else to replace me . ” I put

on an act while complaining to him .

“ I do n’t want my darling to leave me either , but you must prioritize your work . Do n’t worry , I ‘ll

take good care of Bianca . ” As if he feared that I would not go on with the trip , he began

to coerce me .

“ If that ‘s the case , I’ll leave the decision in your hands ! ” All I wanted was to hang up instead of listeni

ng to your falsehoods .

“ Honey I love you ! I will miss you ! ” He repeated the same words as always , but I

could feel how insincere he was .

Hanging up the phone , Isabel sneered . _ _ _ _ “ I heard what that bastard said . _ He ‘s cheating on

you with another woman while he’s

talking all these sweet words . How can he be so shameless ? _ I used a smilebitter as I was at a

loss for words , as these were the very questions I needed answers to .

“ By the way , Linda , you did a great job just

now ! ” She patted me on the shoulder before asking , “ You told him you ‘d be on a business trip , so y

ou figured out a plan for your revenge ? _ _ ”

I tried my best not to let my hatred for him show as I nodded . _ Although I had a plan , I told him I was

going on a weeklong trip because I needed time to clear my mind in order to prepare .mentally to the fa

cade that would have to put up later to deceive him .

After listening to what I said , Isabel nodded her head while praising how meticulous I was before why

Carlos called . _ _ _ _

to ask

“ He didn’t say anything , and I didn’t ask either ” . I remembered that he was the one

who called , but he didn’t reveal anything about himself .

“ Does he always greet you over the phone ? Isabel asked . _

I shook my head in response . “ If I’m not with him , he calls me three times a day during meals ” .

“ He sure puts up a great front ! ” Isabel seemed to

have realized something after exclaiming in such a way that she looked directly into my eyes . “ Linda ,

something tells me he is , in fact , trying to find out your whereabouts when

he calls .for you to plan his affair with Joana ” .

What Isabel said scared me when I thought , she might be right … Carlos would

always ask where I am and what I was doing whenever he called . However ,

I never doubted his intentions before this , so I would always tell him the truth ..

Isabel and I exchanged a look when we realized just how scary it was, a shiver

going up our spines as we

did so . This meticulous preparation was the exact reason Carlos managed to trick me behind my back

for so long . Although I thought your _calls were a representation of his love for me and that I

was lucky to find someone as caring as he was , I

found that this was , in fact , the beginning of my nightmare .

After talking for some time , Isabel retired to her room , while I had many memories of the past as I lay

awake in her guest room . _ _ Truth be told , Carlos and I met because I was trying to refuse mychildho

od sweetheart , Daniel Vaz . _

When I was in the third year of my master ‘s program , my parents tried to force

me to date Daniel because they not only thought we were a good match , but also because they

liked him . However , I could not fall in love with him , nor did I want him to

.my life was dictated that way , that’s why I looked for someone who

could be my boyfriend to deceive them , and that someone turned

out to be Carlos , introduced by Joana .

I thought he was a decent choice after meeting him , so Joana offered to talk to him about the matter in

stead of me . _ _ _ Although I do n’t know what she said to him , he ended up agreeing to impersonate This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

my boyfriend ., something I revered Joan for . _

After that , I took Carlos to meet my parents , even giving him a makeover in an attempt to get my pare

nts ‘ approval . Although I thought we should pass the test , we ended

up failing miserably . My parents not only didn’t like him, but even actively humiliated him , which made me feel guilty for him . _ It was under these circumstances that we got to know each other better .

There was another time Isabel and Joana and I went out partying one night , only to be ambushed by b

andits . _ _ Carlos ‘ timely arrival saved us from further problems , so I started to develop feelings for

he and

we established our relationship during the night of my birthday party , when I was drunk .

Meanwhile , I remembered the handsome man I met in the hospital . _ That night , maybe it was him in

stead of Carlos …
