Chapter 74: Sudden change
-Ah! Mr. Orlando!
The girl didn’t know what she had done wrong and her scalp hurt so much, as well as from the blow she had suffered when she was thrown. She looked at Orlando with teary eyes to make him feel sorry for her, but Orlando only had Vanessa’s face in mind and continued to scold her fiercely:
-Get out! -Get out!
So, the girl ran out of fear. The private room was silent again and Orlando began to drink from a bottle with a sombre face.
Suddenly, the door opened, but Orlando didn’t hear the faint sound and a slim figure entered, it was Melina.
She had checked Orlando out and knew he was drinking here. So, she dressed up as Vanessa and came looking for him.
-Orlando, why do you drink so much? -Melina asked worriedly, grabbed Orlando’s arm and looked at him with a frown.
-Vanessa?
Orlando was so drunk that he mistook Melina, who had purposely dressed as Vanessa, for Vanessa.
-Vanessa, you’ve come. You still love me, don’t you?
Being drunk, Orlando’s hidden feelings for Vanessa got out of control, making him weaker and gentler. So, he took Melina’s hand, let her sit on it and gently embraced her waist.
-Vanessa, Vanessa… Don’t go away…
-I am here.
Melina smiled softly, but her gaze showed hatred and madness.
She didn’t mind being a surrogate for Vanessa. As long as Orlando wanted to be with her and she got pregnant as soon as possible, she still had hope of defeating Vanessa.
Even if Orlando didn’t like children, Gerardo would.
Orlando used to force her to take contraceptives when he was intimate with her, which is why after so long, Melina could not get pregnant.
Melina loved Orlando deeply and had trusted that he would not leave her, even if he could not divorce Vanessa. However, she had been too much of a believer. Now she had to catch Orlando in her own way.
-Orlando, don’t blame me,” said Melina and looked at Orlando tenderly.
-Vanessa, I love you.
Orlando was unaware of Melina’s plan and was very excited, because he really thought Vanessa came and rushed to kiss her deeply.
-Ah, Vanessa.
-Yes,” Melina replied in a soft tone.
Melina raised her head showing her slender neck, then hugged Orlando’s neck and provoked more enthusiasm by kissing him back more fiercely with her tongue.
Melina’s face showed a look of enjoyment, but her gaze was indifferent.
-Ah, Orlando, you’re great!
-Orlando, I love you, I love you so much!
Melina’s reddish lips were speaking love phrases, but her gaze was very horrible.
As Orlando was already used to sexually torturing Melina, he started making wild love as before and Melina let out a cry of pain.
Orlando stopped suddenly, carefully hugged Melina and hurriedly apologised, feeling guilty:
-Vanessa, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, did I hurt you? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” said Orlando as he licked Melina’s tears.
His movements became smooth, taking care of his emotions, and he tried to hold his thirst.
Ha!
Melina expressed her enjoyment out loud while criticising inwardly.
“Why does he look like a beast when he’s with me, and treat Vanessa so tenderly? Why?!”
Melina bit her lip, only the pain reminded her of her existence, because a surrogate should not even feel pain.
But sadly, she was doing it of her own free will.
They spent that night together with Orlando softly repeating Vanessa’s name so tenderly that it made her feel ashamed. The most ridiculous thing was that Melina felt a terrible pleasure at the same time that she felt humiliated.
“Am I crazy?”
Melina left after Orlando fell asleep and when Orlando woke up at noon, he was alone in the private room. He did not think much of it and it was thought that he had asked for sexual service.
Then he went to the shower in the private room, had Paco bring him some clean clothes and left after showering.
A week later, the final project of the Cazalla Group was set after a month of continuous work and all the workers involved were very excited, they seemed to see the scene that the contract would be signed with this perfect project.
Vanessa was also very happy to see the compensation for her hard work.
-Thank you all, go home early today. I will let you know about the celebration banquet when I receive the other company’s acceptance and don’t relax because the most important moment will come.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
-At your command, Director Vanessa!
As they relaxed, people started to joke around and picked up their bags and left work. However, there was one person who was behaving a bit strangely.
Vanessa returned to her office and the others also left gradually.
-Ana, close the door.
The girl named Ana stiffened at her name and said with a shy smile:
-Yes, I will check and lock the door properly.
-See you tomorrow.
-Goodbye.
When everyone left, Ana was left alone in the conference room, her shy expression disappeared and her gaze became cruel.
Afterwards, no one knew what Ana did that night, being the last to leave.
The next day, they connected with the other company on the projector in the Cazalla Group’s largest meeting room. The faces of the other company’s managers were mirrored and the staff who had worked hard on the project were seated on either side of Vanessa, who was smiling confidently in the main seat.
-Mr Jack, I believe you have seen our customised plan for your company. So what do you think?
As soon as Vanessa said Vanessa, she saw the people in the other company whispering to each other and she became anxious at those looks. And she clenched her fists in a bad feeling.
After the conversation, everything calmed down and Jack looked at Vanessa apologetically.
-Vanessa, I’m sorry. We cannot approve your plan. Besides, I think we’re ending this cooperation,” said Jack.
