ANDY and CAMILLE
Four o'clock in the morning, the thunderous noise of the alarm wakes Andy up.
ring! ring! ring! ring!
Andy Alf reaches for his bedside table, with one touch he deactivates his alarm and opens his eyes, he waits about two minutes and stands up, his slippers are on the right side of his bed in perfect order, Andy claps his hands twice and the light in his room comes on.
It is time to start with his daily routine, he wakes up a little, and in less than ten minutes he is taking an ice water shower, he has calculated his time, he uses a smart watch that marks how long the bath should last, so he defines his time perfectly, after the fifteen minutes programmed, there he is getting dressed with his sports clothes perfectly organized to go to do his exercise routine in the gym of his mansion.
At six o'clock in the morning, after having done his body maintenance routine, he takes a shower again, now with warm water to relax his muscles, fifteen minutes later, he combs his hair perfectly, massages his body with a fine cream, dresses in a dark black platinum suit, grooms his beard as every day, perfumes himself with one of the best French fragrances that his mother has given him and wears a beautiful gold Rolex on his left hand, which matches perfectly with his divinity. And although he was not an entirely vain being, he was overly obsessive about order, presentation, schedules, grooming, and perfection.
Everything in his room was perfectly arranged, he had an adjoining room that served as his closet, each garment in his closet was ordered by tones and uses, his shirts had to be perfectly ironed, his sportswear was not used more than twice and he exchanged them, he had a person hired to take care of his clothes exclusively, if he did not like something he immediately changed it, or simply discarded it.
Andy was a young multimillionaire, an economist by profession, with a couple of doctorates and a master's degree, he was the CEO of the largest export company in the city, ALF & ASSOCIATES Company, the success of this company was due to the hard work of its CEO to business and management.
Besides being a successful businessman, he was young, he was only twenty-six years old, he was handsome, tall, his skin tone made his sensuality stand out, it was a cinnamon skin, dark brown eyes, his lock beard surrounded his jaw, his hair in perfect order showed how well cared for he was.
Despite being the CEO of his company and being able to have all the privileges he wanted, he was the first person to arrive at his office, at eight in the morning he was already starting his duties, the day before his cleaning employees were in charge of leaving everything in its place, his chair perfectly clean, his desk without a single trace of dust, his few paintings without a single uneven angle and his sculptures lay perfectly cared for. The aroma emanating from that office would attract the heart of any woman.
On the other side of the country**
“Camille, daughter, get up, you have to go to work at the cafeteria, hurry up little daughter, you'll be late!”
“Mom, mmm, I'm up!” Camille comes down the stairs of her humble house with shuffling steps, her slippers are so worn out that if anything they can cover her feet from the cold floor, her hair is in total disarray, her pajamas are a long old T-shirt of her deceased father, and her face is covered by two huge dark circles under her eyes from not sleeping.
“Daughter, did you get any rest?” Angela asks her daughter
“Not much mom, last night they extended my shift at that cafeteria, I had to work overtime, and I accepted, we need your medicines and food for little Carolain” Camille approaches her mother and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
“Dear, have you received any response from the capital city from any of the companies where you have been looking for a job?” Angela looks at her daughter compassionately
“No mom, not being a graduate of a recognized university doesn't give me any opportunity," Camille looks frustrated at her psychologist diploma, which is hanging as the only decoration in the living room.
Camille, a young woman of twenty-four years old, lived with her parents in a small town a few hours from the capital, with the great effort of her father she entered a small university nearby where she managed to obtain her degree a year ago as a psychologist, while she achieved this small triumph two important events changed in her life.
Her father died in a traffic accident, leaving her mother alone to take care of her and her little sister Salome, who is now ten years old. As if that were not enough, her mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which required an aggressive treatment to save her life and prevented her from returning to work, so Camille, to survive with her family, had to take her mother's place in the cafeteria, since there was no work in town for a professional like her.
For a long time, she insisted, sending her resume, and applying to well-known companies in the capital, waiting for a response from one of them, but her hopes were fading away as she did not receive any, she felt that she was going to stay forever working in that place.
That morning after saying goodbye to his mother, taking his little sister to school, he receives a call on his old phone, he didn't know the number, however, he decides to answer.
“Hello?” she says in a very colloquial tone.
“Good morning, Miss, I'm calling from ALF & ASSOCIATES, are you Camille Ibis?” asks a woman on the other end of the line.
“Good morning! Excuse me for my way of answering, yeah i am, please tell me.”
“You applied for a vacancy in our company as head of human resources, I see that you are a professional in psychology, aren't you?”
“Yes, yes I am!” Camille's voice now sounded excited.
“Do you have any additional studies, such as a diploma, doctorate, or master's degree?” The woman on the other end of the line asks suspiciously
“No, not really” Now Camille knows that she will be rejected again, as in the previous offers.
“Well, Miss Ibis, your tests were one hundred out of one hundred, but because of your academic profile, now we could only offer you a vacancy as a secretary in the human resources area, we need one urgently”.
“Secretary? And how much would the salary be?” She says frustrated by what she has just been offered.
“Well, her salary would be about two thousand a month, plus her legal benefits, plus every two months she would have an extra bonus for her performance, not to mention that she would only work from Monday to Friday from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon”.
Upon hearing the working conditions that Camille was being offered, she remained silent, trying to assimilate that it was four times what she was currently earning, and she could not believe it, she made sure to corroborate what she was hearing.
“Are you serious, Miss?” she asks doubtfully.
“I don't understand your question, I am calling you for a quite formal offer, check your email, if you are interested, we will expect you on Monday at the company, remember that all your hiring is immediate and will be digital, so you would only have to come to work if you sign your contract before six o'clock in the evening”.
“Perfect Miss, thank you very much, I'll check my mail, thank you very much!” Camille jumps like an excited child, laughing with happiness in the street and although it is not what she expected for her profession, the conditions were right, and she could help her mother even more.
Camille had applied to this company about seven months ago, every month she presented different tests and interviews and had already lost hope of finding a vacancy in this place.
She was so happy that she had forgotten that she had to sign the contract before a fixed time, when she realized it was already seven o'clock at night, in her town the public internet sites were closed at six thirty, she had to look for a place where she could check.
“No, it can't be, damn it, the only good opportunity in my life and I lose it because of my absent” mindedness, it can't be!
A NEW LIFE Camille, upset at not having signed her contract, arrives home in tears, her frustration greater than her own will. “But my love, what happened to you?” Angela embraces her daughter, as soon as she sees her come in. “Mom, I lost the opportunity of my life, they called me from ALF & ASSOCIATES, to offer me a vacancy, with a salary that you can't even imagine, I had to sign the digital contract before six o'clock in the afternoon, and guess what?” “What girl, what?!” Camille's mother is desperate now. “Well, I forgot, I have no choice, there is no place where I can enter my email, I lost my only chance, mom” Camille melts into her mother's arms wrapped in tears. Until they are interrupted by Carolain, her little sister. “Hi Cam, do you need internet? A computer?” she replies jovially, as if it were nothing important. “Yes, little one, but you know, in this town there is nothing”. “I know where we can find one, my friend Flory's mom works from home and she has a c
The first meeting between the two of them. Camille knocks twice on Andy's door, she is impressed by the perfection of each of the spaces around her, she knows to herself that the only office out of context like hers was his. The door opens automatically, she is dumbfounded to see the office of her boss, it looked like a space of a God of Olympus, but modernized, it emanated a perfect smell, in front of it was located a desk of a fine solid glass, which was only occupied by a few documents and a beautiful laptop with a giant screen. Behind the desk was on his back in a giant presidential chair, the boss, THE CEO, you could only make out his hair sticking out and his hand on his forearm, glinting the beautiful gold watch. “It took you seven minutes to get to my office, Camille Ibis, weren't you warned that punctuality is the company's motto?” The tone of voice is quite high and threatening. She didn't even know the name of her boss; she had been so clueless that she barely knew tha
The beginning of a rare obsession Andy Alf leaves the office shortly after Camille does, making sure that she was okay, for that he asks his driver to chase the public transport where Camille goes without losing sight of each of the stops it made. Finally forty minutes later and very far from where the company was she got off, she walked a few blocks into the humble neighborhood where they were, and he saw her taking out the keys of a house, a very small one, and not at all arranged, it looked like the kitchen of her mansion, she went in there, a few minutes later a light came on the left side of the house, A silhouette appears at the window and takes off her big clothes, the shadow reflects a slim and perfect female body, with a beautiful steep chest, and a dreamy waist, Andy reacts to the invasion she is making, and immediately is ashamed of himself and leaves the place. The following days, in the midst of his perfection, he would fit fifteen minutes in his busy schedule to observ
Camille narrates.After the awkward meeting with the supreme boss of the company, I feel totally embarrassed. It was my first social contact with someone from this place, they were all really cretins, they judged me by the way I dressed, but my work was impeccable, the only thing that interested me was that my mother was well, even if I had to come wrapped in garbage bags to work.The last few days that I've been working overtime I've felt haunted, there's something I feel that surrounds me, but I can't tell what it is-it must be tiredness, working too much is driving me crazy, coming back late to my aunt's house the desperate one has me in check, I need to solve my situation soon.I'm walking in the dark, the damn bus has left, and the train station is closed, it's cold and I have no money for a cab, what I was missing after the ridiculous thing I did before my little boss, I just needed to lose the job I had worked so hard to get because of it.My nerves are on edge, I hear the step
Narrated Camille Wow, what a blessing!!, Monday again, how happy I am to go to that nice job, even happier that I don't even have my old phone to call my mother, how wonderful.“When are you going to bring some money and get out of here? you're a nuisance!” I run out as fast as I can, that's the good morning from my beloved aunt, I have to leave with an hour more time, today I will have to make my way to the office, I don't have a penny for the train.I walk to the station, hoping that miraculously her watchman will simply be careless so I can sneak in, I don't want to arrive sweaty at work, enough with the appearance of my clothes, to arrive as if I were a beggar.Ten minutes later he leaves to change the shift, as I can I jump the fence, when I do my foot slips when I cross to the other side and I feel how it twists, I scream from the pain, but I must continue or they will catch me, a few meters later I see myself, and my foot is swollen and twisted, I die of pain and anguish, but
wonderful feeling “What, have I never seen such poor feet before?” Camille asks him, pulling him out of his thoughts, while with difficulty she moves her skin, trying to push him away.Andy reacts and comes to his senses.“Excuse me, you have beautiful skin, very pleasant to the touch," he says as he looks at her face.“Excuse me?” she runs backwards avoiding his touching her, although she would love to be touched much more, she knows this is not a normal reaction, so she decides to mark the distance.“Don't take it wrong Camille, it's just something I detailed, but come let me check you-Andy approaches again and takes her foot, now if focused on her ankle, he raises his bushy eyebrows, he notices that Camille's injury is quite dark, it has a purple tone and is quite swollen, he didn't understand how she was enduring the pain.She looks him in the eyes, she can't believe that her handsome boss was checking her out like a friend, and it was making her nervous, a few moments ago she w
Camille narrates.Arriving at my aunt's house is the most unpleasant thing, but for now I have no other option, and the worst thing is that I have to endure it for three weeks, my disability does not allow me to return to work, it would not be a problem for me to go like this, I would also be closer to Andy, I already miss him, I don't know how to interpret everything that happened today, although I know it was just an act of charity, but the caresses in the car, the smiles, and the touch of his hands, have me quite confused.I try to get to my room as best I can, but there was my aunt, angry and abusive as always.“And now what happen you? don't tell me you lost your job? Because if that's the case, you must get out of here immediately”.“No aunt, I didn't lose my job, I had an accident, please don't bother me, as soon as I recover, I'll leave here.”“Ah, what are you thinking that you will live here for free? No ma'am, you leave right now.”I take out a wad of bills from the money A
Andy takes Camille out of that horrible house again, her aunt just stares at her angrily, she doesn't really get much out of that place, she's just accompanied by a small bag with a couple of important things.“Andy, where are you taking me?”“Well, for a better place than this, that's for sure, I'll take care of you for today”. He gets her in the car and Orlando takes them to a small condominium located in the center of the city, it's a middle-class neighborhood, perfect for Camille, they enter a beautiful building, brown on the outside, but inside it looked like a little cup tea, decorated with various pastel colors and lights on the ceiling, upon reaching the second floor, he takes out the keys to an apartment, number 203, goes down to Camille and opens the door that is protected by a thousand padlocks, in two minutes they are inside.It is a small but cozy place, decorated with quite simple period furniture, pink curtains and a very simple fitted kitchen, and a bar, he shows her t
