Obsession and desire novel Chapter 56

“Mario are you okay?”. Camille asks him as she hands him a napkin to wipe the blood that comes from his lip.
“Yes Camille, I'm pretty good, don't worry, what I don't understand is what happened, why did Andy react like that?” Camille blushes with the question, she knew that what was happening was her fault, but she had omitted the detail of telling her that her boss was her ex-boyfriend.
“What happens is that I went out with him for a few months, we had a relationship” she lowers her head.
“Then Alf was not married for a long time?”
“Yes, in fact, we did maintain a relationship even when he was married to Keyra Jones, but it is a rather long story”.
“Is he the one you broke up with two months ago?”
“Yes, it's with him.”
“But apparently, he hasn't gotten over it at all, he was also drunk, what do you think of all this? You should be more careful with him Camille”.
“The best thing is that I leave the company, I can't stand being in that situation with him anymore, it's better that I keep my distance” Camille's eyes had blurred with tears, she was aware that continuing by that man's side was going to cause her great pain, she could no longer endure the performances that he had, besides he was the one who took her out of her life, she did not understand what he wanted now.
“Well, don't worry about work, I have excellent contacts that can put you in a much better position than the one you're in now, if that's why.”
“Thanks Mario, but I have to do this alone, tomorrow I will resign from Alf industries”.
Meanwhile Andy was in the car with Orlando, his face was hurt and his ego too, he didn't like the idea that Camille had stayed with that man, but it had been what he had chosen in the beginning, and although it hurt his heart, he knew that now there was very little he had to do to win her back.
“Sir, excuse me for interfering, but I think it's time for you to resume what you are, Miss Camille is very good, I know that, but she causes you pain, and lol I appreciate it, I don't like to see her this form”.
“I know that you tell me because you appreciate me, but now I don't know what to answer Orlando, I would like to tell you that this is not going to happen again, but as long as feelings for her continue to exist, it will be much more difficult to control my emotions, for Now take me to the mansion, I need to treat my wounds!”.
That night was not easy for Andy, apart from the fact that he was physically hurt, his feelings were totally undone, he knew what he felt for Camille, but it was hard for him to show it, his pride and his way of feeling and thinking made life impossible for him and They did not let her get close to her, she had always loved her and in her heart she was present, but her dark demons did not allow her to have been happy with her, however she proposed that from the next day she would do the impossible to get her back.
That weekend he was in charge of preparing some things to be able to surprise her, he shared with his mother and resumed his routines, on Monday very early as usual he got up early and went looking for her, he prepared the surprise he had for her, and he arrived to meet her. He arrived earlier, and sat in his office to wait for her with a huge bouquet of flowers and a necklace of precious stones that he had had carved just for her.
Camille opens the door and jumps when she sees him sitting at his desk.
“What are you doing here? Why do you like to invade my spaces?” She stares at the bouquet of flowers while her cheeks blush.
“Baby, I know that I have been miserable, that I have behaved very badly with you, but I want you to give me the opportunity to win back your love, I beg you”.
“No Andy, it's that you have realized that you have been the one who has taken me out of your life, who deliberately without respecting my feelings has hurt me, forgive me, but I can't, besides, I'm going to leave the company, look here is my resignation letter”.
Andy feels as if a bucket of cold water fell on his shoulders, he was totally sure that Camille was still in love with him and that she would agree as always when he asked her to come back.
“Camille, baby, listen to me, I'm telling you that I admit that I've been a terrible human being, especially when I lost Zoé, I hope I can't do it alone, I need help, you must understand me. I love you and I don't want another person to be the one with you”.
“That is not love, you do not feel true love for me, that is felt in the air, please forgive me, but the best thing is that you and I do not speak again”.
“But you don't have to leave the office, that's not necessary, your work is impeccable, if you want, we can make a better deal”.
“I'm not leaving because I feel dissatisfied with my pay or my position, I do it because I no longer want to have any encounter with you, you hurt me, it's the healthiest thing for both of us, I hope you understand”.
Those words were drilling Andy's heart, wisely Camille was giving the lesson of her life to his arrogance, although deep down he had always loved her with the best intentions, it was enough more than that to make the relationship prosper.
“Okay Camille, if it's your decision I'll respect it, but that doesn't mean that I don't love you, that I no longer feel the same for you, like the first day I met you, and that I will never think of another woman as I do. with you”.
“I love you too with all my soul, Andy, but I feel like we're hurting each other a lot” as the two of them are saying goodbye, Mario enters, making the moment more inopportune.
“Hi little girl, can we… sorry Andy, I didn't know you were in Camille's office”.
“Little? They already formalized their relationship, and you hadn't even told me Camille” Andy squeezes his lips and fists again.
“Andy, please not again” she is afraid of a new violent confrontation.
“Look Andy, I really don't want any problems with you, I'm leaving so you two can talk”.
“I have nothing to talk about with this one... stay with her, in the end she will change you for anyone like she did with me” Andy leaves giving Mario a slight push, leaving Camille with the word in her mouth, her words had broken any limits of respect,
“Camille, my dear, I'm sorry, that man doesn't have to treat you that way” Mario feels embarrassed for the way Andy has just treated Camille.
“You don't have to apologize, he is like that by nature, I want to tell you that I'm leaving now, I've already passed my resignation letter to human resources, I won't be here anymore, soon I'll get a new job and I'll go far away”.
“Don't tell me you're also moving away from me”Mario approaches Camille, despite everything she couldn't be totally indifferent to his charms, not only was he a physically attractive man, but his way of being was spectacular, even though he wasn't a billionaire CEO with all the accolades in the world, he was a bit more up there.
She moves away a bit so that he can see that it makes her nervous, more than that, it makes her uncomfortable, she doesn't feel ready to agree to his claims yet.
“I haven't said that I just don't know what could happen between the two of us, however, if you wish we'll keep in touch, so you can call me whenever you want”.
Camille gives Mario a brotherly hug, removes her things from the office where she is working and leaves the company.
She had decided it was time to get away from Andy entirely.
