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 observe Camille in his office, it seemed like he was seeing an angel, that humble woman did not leave his head, he observed that she was at her computer doing all the work assigned to her, he had felt bad for the time he reproached her about the small mistake she had made in her report. On the days she was working overtime he also stayed to take care of her.
“Andy dear, lately you haven't been out with me, every Friday you stay in this office, you are neglecting me too much," Keyra approaches Andy while he looks at his computer screen, he changes the image of Camille and goes back to a report.
“Keyra, I've had a lot of work to do the last few days," he replies without even looking at her.
Andy and Keyra got engaged at the request of her parents, she was a couple of years older than Andy and was a renowned and famous model of the international show business, she worked for the best designers and like him, she was a multimillionaire, they only rubbed shoulders with the most recognized people of high society, and appearance was the most important thing for the two of them. 
Besides being a stunning and beautiful woman, she acted just like Andy, obsessed with order, schedules and perfection; for two cold and calculating people like them, money and good name was what should prevail at the time of fixing a commitment, for that reason they had decided to join in marriage the surnames of the best families in the city.
Suddenly he sees how she picks up her small cell phone and receives a call, she gets up from her seat and begins to hold her head, now she is in tears, desperate, she walks around the office, he feels a sudden feeling of compassion invade him and he feels the need to get to her office.
He knocks twice on the door, Camille gives a start and opens the door, her face is red from crying, she wipes her tears and suffers infinite shame at knowing who it is but speaks in her defense.
“Sir, I'm sorry if you were watching me, I promise I will make up the time, or if you don't want to pay me for this extra hour” He opens the door for her and heads towards his desk, waiting for the worst of the penalties.
“Camille, not at all, I just came to see what's wrong with her, why is she crying like that, I saw her and wanted to see what was wrong”. Andy reflects a sudden concern.
“Are you spying on me all the time Mr. Alf?” she says somewhat confused.
“Well dear, if you want to stay here in your office today Friday I'll leave you glued to that laptop, I have to go, I have a night with some famous Versace models, I can't miss this opportunity, I love you" Keyra comes closer and kisses Andy on the cheek, between the two there was no real passion.
He knew that on Fridays Camille for some reason put in four to five hours of overtime, many times he had no work to get ahead, he just stayed in his office watching the beautiful woman through his office camera.
Suddenly he sees how she picks up her small cell phone and receives a call, she gets up from her seat and begins to hold her head, now she is in tears, desperate, she walks around the office, he feels a sudden feeling of compassion invade him and he feels the need to get to her office.
He knocks twice on the door, Camille gives a start and opens the door, her face is red from crying, she wipes her tears and suffers infinite shame at knowing who it is but speaks in her defense.
“Sir, I'm sorry if you were watching me, I promise I will make up the time, or if you don't want to pay me for this extra hour” He opens the door for her and heads towards his desk, waiting for the worst of the penalties.
“Camille, not at all, I just came to see what's wrong with her, why is she crying like that, I saw her and wanted to see what was wrong”. Andy reflects a sudden concern.
“Are you spying on me all the time Mr. Alf?” she says somewhat confused.
“No, not at all, it was a coincidence, I was just checking the company's cameras and there you were, I thought something was wrong with you”.
Camille breaks down in tears and grabs her head, not caring who was watching her now.
“My mother has cancer, and her treatment is not working. In the town where she lives the hospitals are precarious, and even though I earn very well here as a secretary I can't afford to bring her and my sister to the city" She wipes her tears with the big jacket that tucks her in.
“Camille, I'm sorry about your mother, I'm also sorry about your secretarial position, but here we hire according to your academy”.
“Mr. Alf, I am a professional psychologist, believe me that being a secretary is not in my long-term plans, I studied with a lot of effort and that of my parents to finish my undergraduate degree and here I am like a mouse, hiding”.
“What do you mean, you are a professional? What do you do as a secretary?”
“Well, because it was the only vacancy, I don't have a master's degree or a doctorate, I'm nobody," Camille now cries harder and more desperate.
Andy feels a compassion for her that no one had ever felt before and pulls her into his arms and hugs her so tightly that he felt he was the one who needed her comfort, his life was so gridded that physical contact was limited, even with his future wife.
She sucks in her nose and feels embarrassed as she quickly rolls off her bed and turns to wipe her face.
“I'm sorry sir. I got carried away with my feelings it won't happen again” she grabs her purse; makes sure her computer is turned off and runs out of there.
Andy the obsessive and perfect CEO of the most important company in town had let himself be captivated by a simple woman, if he had spent that hug with someone else, he would immediately be burning his clothes, he would not stand the smell that woman's old clothes emanated, but Camille was different, she was special. He had no idea what she was going to become for him.
