THE DEVIL'S LOVER
Part 8's. The miracle?

"What do you want?" He asked me what I wanted. All I want is one. Not seeing his face anymore.

"Get out of here, Mr. Montgomery."  I was practical again, my eyes returning to the documents I was holding.

"Yes fine... Again sorry."

I didn't respond to him, assuming he never apologized. I think he's just trying to save what's left.

How dare he accuse me of having a close relationship with one of those shareholders like him and his Margienya.

He might have hoped to find something from accusing me like that but all he found was my anger because it was all untrue.

But the news was already spread.

"You know, Miss, in the office there's news you're close to one of the shareholders. It means near in a negative sense." It must have been David Montgomery. Apparently he was just apologizing in his mouth and he was spreading the news.

"Let it be good there's no money to mess with me because I have a relationship with the shareholders, but for the people who work close to us you can dispute that."

"Is that?"

"Yes, don't take care of it. What matters is if there's another breach we close the credit card. Besides it's good for me, who would dare mess with me again. I have a backup of one of the shareholders."

Within a week the credit card reports came. Already I suspect, this time the purchase of some gifts at another luxury boutique in NY, disguised by delivery to men.

I closed the credit card. This time I told him myself.

"This month I cut 32,000 off your pay. And your credit card is closed. Effective today you can't use that card anymore." I put the production map I cut to him. "You have a complaint? I warned you."

"Filen." Now he's like he doesn't care what I say.

"Fine?"

That all? He's not trying to argue with me or anything?

"So next I ask you if there's a transaction?"

"Yes, put the bond in Jannete."

"Yes well." He doesn't seem to want to talk about me closing his credit card. Did he really give up? "I need your signature for this. Analysis of the cost of buying an old hotel in Midtown East, start-up costs, concepts, renovation costs, projected revenue, Sir Gabriel already knows about this." He immediately addressed another matter as if this did not bother him.

Maybe he still has a lot of income elsewhere that allows him to finance his girlfriends. So he doesn't care if I close his credit card. Maybe he knew he couldn't stop me from doing it.

"You don't want to mess with your cards?"

"I'll see first." I picked up the thick map, and still probed curiously why he had given up without a fight. I was ready to have an all-out fight with him.

"thank you. I'm going to have lunch." He smiled at me. What now? He started looking for a way to make friends with me.

"No." One word is enough for him.

"Come on Carla, it's just lunch."

"Lunching with you makes my class degrees go down." He's laughing now.

"Very cruel." He smiled as if it was a fun game. You devil, you think you can play me here, once I have lunch with you, you will spread the word that I am crazy about you. I will not be your victim and my degree will drop immediately if I accept your lunch invitation.

"It's good you know I'm cruel. Don't come near."

Left room. Who was ready for war so could not scold him made my feelings become curious.

Why doesn't she get into trouble with me, later the women of her fan club stop looking for trouble with me.

Is he a penitent?! Seems impossible?

Out of curiosity I called CEO Gabriel .

"Sir, I'm permanently blocking David's card."

"Oh, is he mad at you?"

"No, I wonder why he's not mad at me. Did he ask you something about me sir?"

"Ohh, he just asked how you could be Finance Director at 33. I answer you actually have 12 years of work plus you were nominated by the old Director of Finance. Just I didn't say you were the recipient of the foundation scholarship. I stick to our story you're close to the other shareholders ."

So he believes my story now?

"It's progress you can pull that card and he doesn't protest me or my brother."

"I can hardly believe it myself if he doesn't protest Sir. When I said I was going to close the card he took it lightly and turned to a hotel pickup project in Midtown Manhattan."

"Yes, he found the hotel and did the deal. That's management, you please check if all the projections he's making are correct. Yes it's possible that he's found someone right so he doesn't spend money on women anymore. Let's just focus on the project first."

Even finally his Uncle himself considered the thing that happened was a miracle. Maybe he found the right woman. Wh who? Margie, I'm kidding.

But I can't believe it's that easy. I don't know what's going on, I think the devil's hiding something.
