Leonardo raised his hand, when he was about to knock on the door, it was opened from the inside.
Natalia was behind the door, with her hair down and a white sleeveless nightgown, looking very attractive and seductive.
-Leonardo? What are you doing here so early? Come in.
-There’s no need, I just came for one thing. Natalia, I don’t want to continue our collaboration.
Natalia suddenly dragged him into the room and closed the door. Then she pushed him and put him against the door. She rested her hand on his chest and looked at him with eyes full of seduction….
Leonardo had liked such a trick, but at the moment he only felt disgusted!
He tried to push Natalia away, and just at that moment a white light suddenly shone into the room. He tried to look away, but Natalia reached up and stroked his face.
-Have you thought it through? It is clearly stated in our agreement, that if you break your word, you will lose more than you earn!
The two messages Olivia sent to Micaela woke him up, then Leonardo no longer had any hesitation.
He did not reject Natalia’s proposal last time because of, first, power, men’s ambition for money and status;
Second, it was because of his mother’s inclination to accept Olivia.
And also because she loved the vanity of being at Natalia’s side.
In his thinking, he believed that his frantic pursuit had touched Olivia’s heart and she could no longer leave him….
He had never put himself in Olivia’s place….
He regretted it very much. If he could go back in time, he would never have let this happen.
He pulled Natalia aside and spoke with great confidence:
-I have decided, I am going to put an end to this ridiculousness.

Half an hour later, at the airport.
Olivia sat in the terminal, and glanced towards the entrance from time to time, wondering if Leonardo would chase her here.
Even though she was determined, she still felt sad in her heart….
Maybe he was still asleep and hadn’t realized she was gone?
She scoffed to herself, but couldn’t help but pull out her phone and turn it on….
Text messages, missed calls, WhatsApp messages, they all came out nonstop like ripples. Olivia’s heartbeat raced uncontrollably.
Disobedient tears streamed down her face. She didn’t want to leave. Here was her job, her friends, the people she loved the most, why did she have to leave?
Maybe, this time, Leonardo wouldn’t do like before?
Maybe, this time, he was going to make a decision that would satisfy her?
She loved him because he was him, and it had nothing to do with his identity or status. Even if both families disagreed, it wouldn’t matter to her at all. She was willing to give everything for his love, as long as Leonardo loved her sincerely….
She tried to see the messages Leonardo had sent her, and just at this moment, she received a new news, it was a multimedia message.
Who else would send MMS nowadays? But Olivia opened it first voluntarily….
It was a side view picture, where Leonardo was leaning against the door, and there was also a woman with long hair. Although she didn’t know her well, Olivia recognized her immediately, it was Natalia….
She was perfectly dressed, with her hand resting on Leonardo and her eyes fixed on him, a rather intimate pose. And the time was even marked on the photo, only 20 minutes before….
Olivia’s mind went blank for a long time before she reacted. He, upon learning of her departure, could no longer wait to find Natalia?
Then, by pretending to be real, it would all become true.
Olivia burst into tears, yes, that’s why she had to leave.
She couldn’t help Leonardo move up in his career, she couldn’t stand the fact that he loved power and wealth more than her, she couldn’t keep quiet, she saw him having intimate contact with another woman, and she also couldn’t reach the height her mother desired, and even her parents were insulted for that. Wasn’t all this reason enough for her to leave?
Finally, Olivia lost all illusions. She turned off the phone, took out the SIM card and threw it in the trash can, then grabbed the suitcase and headed for the boarding area….
Less than a minute after she left, Leonardo arrived at the airport.
There was no more time to waste, his flight was ready to board. Without worrying about anything else, he searched through the crowd while shouting:
-Olivia, come here, I’m sorry! I have made it clear to her that I will not continue the collaboration with her. Don’t go, Olivia, where are you?
The people waiting in line stared at him as if he were a monster, whispering went the story.
Leonardo shouted over and over again:
-Olivia, I love you. I really can’t live without you, don’t go, I beg you….
Leonardo’s assistant soon followed, seeing the president abandon his pride and shout through the crowd like a madman, he looked at the time, “Miss Olivia, you should be on the plane by now….”

9:00 a. m.
Alba sat in Ernesto’s car. He was driving her to Brillantella.
-What are the plans for today?
He asked.
Alba pulled out the iPad and answered:
-Micaela missed the interview after the game, then she will do it today.
She opened the front page, not sure if she was answering Ernesto or talking to herself.
-Micaela has been in the lead for a few days now, let’s see who’s in the headlines today? Fuck!
Alba stood up in surprise and screamed, startling Ernesto.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the screen again.
I didn’t expect the hottest trend to be Leonardo!
-Grupo Pinto’s successor, Leonardo, is suspected of dating two women!
-Mr. Pinto held his girlfriend at the airport, a wonderful show!
-Natalia unilaterally announced that she is going to terminate all types of business cooperation. The relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend is broken!
-Love comes so fast that it’s like a tornado -Grupo Pinto and Nunez show the high profile love relationship and break it in the same way right away?
***
Seeing the different headlines, Alba couldn’t keep calm.
-Stop, stop the car right now!
She saw that they already arrived at the entrance of Brillantella, Ernesto stopped at the side of the road. Alba handed him the iPad so he could read them, then hurried to take out his cell phone and called Micaela.
-Hey, Alba…
-Micaela, have you seen the trends? There’s Leonardo, is he…?
-I know.
Micaela’s calm voice made Alba not react for a long time.
-Do you already know?
-Yes. I’ll be in Brillantella soon, let’s talk face to face.
Alba hung up the phone and looked around, indeed, Carlos’ car was coming from the other side.
She grabbed the iPad from Ernesto’s hand and was about to get out of the car, but he pulled her arm.
Alba turned around impatiently and kissed him hard on the cheek.
-Is this the time to worry about this?
Ernesto laughed, and said seriously:
-I just want to tell you not to get so anxious, they’re going to work things out by themselves, relax.
