Obsession and desire novel Chapter 53


After the meeting and the changes ordered by his father, Andy feels a little confused, since he left Camille's house, he has not spoken to her, but now he felt the need to tell her everything that was happening, his new His office was now located very close to hers, so he would try to keep things calm.
He knocks twice on the door of Camille's office, but when he doesn't hear an answer, he decides to enter without her permission, she was in a virtual meeting, when he enters, Camille makes an annoyed gesture.
“Didn't they teach you to knock on doors? We are in your company, but you can't interrupt me like this” Camille turns off the microphone so she can claim Andy.
 “Oh! I didn't think it would make you so angry to see me, how are you, Camille? I'm fine” Andy goes to her and wants to kiss her on the mouth, but she turns her face away
 “What's wrong Camille? Are you going to start your bad attitude again with me, if so tell me once please”.
“Give me a moment please end this meeting” Camille turns on the microphone and ends the conference.
“So? what do you want?”
“Well, I come to say hello to my fiancée.”
“Do you think you can do what you want with me and come back as if nothing had happened? well, you are wrong!”
Andy surrounds her and makes her nervous, he moves a little closer, Camille's breathing quickens, and she is unable to bite her lip, her weakness was Andy, although many times you would have found it hard to admit it.
“What's happening? are you nervous? I can smell how your hormones are craving the same as me.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Well, what do you want me to make you mine, here and now, I'm more than sure of that”.
“Andy we are in the office” he approaches and takes her by the neck and sticks her face to his, without even asking him he begins to kiss her desperately, she pushes him.
“Come, here you can't Andy” she pushes him away.
 “Are you looking down on me Camille?” Now her look of passion changed to a look of hate
“It's just that it's not the right place, besides you haven't even offered me an apology for everything that happened, as I told you, you think you can come and as if nothing had happened, things don't work like that”
“But if I didn't do anything to you Camille! We both argued, we both disagreed with things, then you also owe me an apology.
“Not crazy Andy, I won't do it again no matter what, so you can do whatever you want for me” Camille turns to her computer again ignoring Andy, her immediate reaction was to organize her tie and get out of there without a word. even say half a word, again they were arguing for no reason, both could have the necessary love to be able to sustain a relationship, but neither was willing to change their attitude for the other.
After he had settled into his office, things had become a competition for Andy, where the best man would win, no matter what he had to do to achieve it, and he was willing to do it. He wasn't going to waste any more time with Camille, if she was willing to support him he would be fine if she couldn't go his way.
Now he was in a much smaller office, his large space had been occupied by his father, and he was next to who had become his opponent, precisely Mario, who was knocking on his door.
“Come in” Andy tells him from the other side of the door.
“Thanks Andy, well, I would like to know if you have time available to talk a bit, it seems important to me that we talk about the company”.
 “What do you want to talk about, Benedetti? I think you are clear about all the functions in the company, also the operation of this headquarters does not change with any of the others”.
“It's not about that, I'm not interested in knowing what I already know about, I'm just here to tell you that I'm going to keep the position, that I'll do the impossible to be able to keep your place, regardless of who has to pass”  Andy looks at him incredulously, he barely smiles with the corner of his lips
 “And what interest me in your Benedetti plans?” Now Andy responds with a challenging look
“I know you're not interested, but I just want you to keep them in mind because you're not going to have it easy with me, it's easy, we're going to compete with intelligence and results, I'm just warning you not to play dirty, because I'm more than sure that I'm counting with the support of your father- these words resonated in Andy's hatred as an offense, but he had to assume that it was the truth, his father supported his rival and it was something he had to live with”.
“Do what you want, Benedetti, I'm not afraid of you, and I don't feel incapable of competing with you, I'm also willing to do what's necessary and so I don't have my father's support, because I want to tell you that it's enough with my knowledge, so get out of my office, I guess we're not off to a good start”
“I see that the pretty boy was upset, but I repeat it to you, I will keep the position, you have been warned!” Mario leaves Andy's office at a safe pace, meanwhile he was remorseful of anger, he was angry, lately nothing was going well in his life, so he had to work to regain control of everything again.
After the conversation, Mario is on his way to his office that was a few meters from Andy's, while he was admiring the facilities of his new job, he felt someone tripping against his chest.
“Excuse me I did not see it, what a pity with you”
“Don't worry miss, I was distracted too, but I appreciate that you crashed into me, I hadn't seen a woman as beautiful as you” Camille blushes with the words that Mario was saying and smiles at him, she feels embarrassed, Mario is a quite attractive man even like Andy.
“Excuse me” she straightens up and looks for a way to leave, but Mario extends his hand
“Nice to meet you, I'm Mario Benedetti, I'm new to this office, it's nice to meet you”.
“Nice to meet you Camille Ibis, head of the human resources department” Mario's eyes immediately sparkled when he saw her.
“I hope that one day we will have a little more time to talk, my office is the one that is there, the one with the brown door”.
“Thank you” she leaves terrified, she was going to Andy's office, she felt that she needed to talk to him.
She knocks on Andy's office door twice, but it opens automatically, he is already standing there waiting for her.
 “What was that with that man Camille?”
 “Were you watching me Andy?”
“Of course yes, answer my question”.
“I was distracted and apparently he was too, we simply crashed, and he showed up out of pure cordiality”.
 “And you had to shake hands and smile as if you had seen someone you like or what? -Andy was too angry about what he just saw through the camera outside his office, he reacted so badly, that he takes Camille's arm and squeezes it”  Responds Camille
“What’s wrong Andy?”
“I'm asking you a damn question. What was that that I just happened?”
“Well, what you saw and let me know that you're hurting me” Andy squeezes her arm even more, causing her pain, but when she realizes the mistake she was making, she immediately lets go.
“You hurt me Andy, you assaulted me, I can't forgive you for this, you're a jerk” Camille indignantly checks her arm that has Andy's finger marks
“Camille, forgive me, I never wanted to hurt you, I… I just got carried away by jealousy, my love, forgive me, I didn't want to do that to you.”
“NO, it's a resounding no, I'm not going to forgive you for trying to attack me, I saw you intending to hit me, that's called abuse, and I don't like men who hit women” those words entered Andy's ears like a painful karma, he knew that he had just made the mistake of his life with Camille by attacking her as he did, she was right, he couldn't forgive her.
“My dear, I didn't mean to do it, please forgive me. I promise that I will seek help to control anger, but do not leave me, this time I will try to change”
“Andy, the best thing is that we finish, I can put up with a lot of things with you, but you attacked me, you took my arm too hard and you made me feel pain, you caused me to panic, I can't believe you had done this to me, please don't look for me , in two days you will have my resignation letter, I don't want to be in your company either”.
“You don't have to resign, I'm not even the CEO anymore, I'm just sharing the position with the man you introduced yourself to, please, Camille, forgive me”.
“No Andy, this can be repeated if what you did to me happens, I can't be sure what you're capable of, forgive me, but I do it for both of us, I love you, but for that same reason I don't want you to become into a person you've never been, so goodbye. So far, we both come” Camille leaves Andy's office, with cloudy eyes and her broken heart, she knows that she made the best decision, her relationship with him was too toxic and they could end up hurting each other.
Andy's eyes cloudy, he feels like a great void invades his chest, now if he was paying the consequences for acting that way with Camille, she didn't deserve anything he had done to her, for the love he gave her. He had decided that he was going to let her go, he would never look for her again, that was the end of Andy's story with Camille.
