Chapter 2 A Second Change

Hannah yelled at them, it would have been her, she would have grabbed Oriana by the hair, thrown her to the ground, and dragged her down the hall to the living room so that the party guests would have found out what kind of woman she was. that she was the secretary of her husband, the president of the accounting firm De la Torre.

But no, she didn't, for a moment, while she imagined it, she felt that doing it would help her feel better, to take a load off her shoulders by taking it out on her husband's mistress for having been able to get in the middle of a marriage and Having ruined her family, however, Hannah had a reputation to take care of, and a scandal like that was better hidden even if she didn't want to.

“Hannah, calm down, this is not a good place, and the right time for this” Francisco says.

Francisco has pulled up his boxers and pants, and turned around to stop looking at Hannah's back and see her face better.

When Francisco had his back to Oriana, she was hidden behind him, taking advantage of that moment to close her legs, adjust her skirt, and not let her lover's wife see her naked intimacy that Francisco had been enjoying since the first moment that Oriana gave him entry to be lovers.

“I don't want to listen to you Francisco, I can't believe I didn't listen to the warnings, to the damn signs that were more than obvious, you're an idiot! You ruined what little was left of our family, tell me one thing, are you satisfied with this?" Hannah says.

She felt a lump in her throat, her eyes watered, she thought that at any moment a tear would fall down her cheeks, but no, she was not going to allow Francisco and her lover to see her cry no matter how hurt and betrayed she felt.

"Francisco, don't you dare come to the house today, and you, Oriana, I'm waiting for your resignation letter on my desk first thing Monday morning, I don't want to see you here again," she says.

Oriana looks at Francisco with a surprised face, thinking that with her wet garito eyes they were going to help his wife take a picture of her decision.

"Wait, Hannah, you can't do that, you can't fire Oriana" Francisco tells her using the most cynical tone of voice Hannah had ever heard from a man when she's discovered infidelity.

"Shut up Francisco, I remind you that only 10% of the assets generated by this company are yours, the rest is mine, because when we got married, the business started with me being independent and serving only a few clients, that you have helped me and my mother has been the pimp in having appointed you as the president without having consulted me before is a completely different thing, so yes, I have a great right to be able to fire whoever I want, and Oriana leaves, period, it is my final decision says Hannah.

Hannah crosses her arms, and stares into the eyes with her husband and her husband's lover, she couldn't believe it, he was a 53-year-old man dating a woman 10 years younger than him, for how long did the two of them Had they been seeing her silly face? How long have they been in that relationship? would she be just a passenger? They made love in the bed at her house?

Those questions kept running through Hannah's mind.

Unfortunately for him, his eldest son, Javier, was present at the meeting because he also worked in the family business, he was 22 years old, he still lived at home with his parents, he had not finished a university degree that was worth making them feel proud of. to his parents, but Javier was dedicated to managing the social networks of the company, and that of the clients when they requested it.

Javier was looking for his mother, he had been chatting with a 19-year-old girl recently graduated from university who was looking to get hired in her family's company as an accounting assistant.

Javier wanted to help her because she was a very pretty girl, and he was single, and he would feel very comfortable working in the company, and seeing that there was also someone in his same age range there, especially if she was a girl.

Javier asked among the guests if they had seen his mother because he wanted to talk to her, and then, one of them, a 43-year-old woman who worked in the company, told Javier that his mother had gone to look for his father at the office and that she had not come out of there again.

Javier thanked the woman, and went into the corridor to find a way to enter his father's office, he thought that if he and his mother were alone it would not be a problem that his son I would interrupt them.

But then, when Javier enters the office, he leaves there again with a bitter drink sticking to his throat with no way of getting out.

Although he did not see his father having sex with his lover, seeing that scene where his mother looked at him with the saddest eyes in the world, where his father looked at him with the most cynical eyes in the world, and where Oriana looked at him with the most cynical eyes in the world. frustrated with the world, it was enough for him to understand what had happened, to know that all his suspicions were true.

"If you see mom! I told you many times, but you didn't want to believe me!" Javier yelled furiously before running away from the company to look for his car and go home.

Hannah wanted to stop him, but she thought it was better not to because she also wanted to do the same, run away.

"I'm leaving, you'll see if you want to stay here, excuse me to the guests, tell them I felt bad and went home, yes, I don't want to see you come home from today, is that clear to you?" Hannah tells Francisco.
