Now totally removed from any contact she could have with Andy; Camille ends her time with him and starts a new life.
During the following days Andy had also decided to completely stop contact with her, respecting her decision to walk away and taking for granted the decision he had made, in his perception that chapter had already become part of his past as the events that they had happened to him on other occasions.
And how easy it was to do during the first days, because with everything that had happened before with Camille, it made his heart fill with unequivocal feelings towards her, he had judged her in an unprecedented way and well, this had helped him to get away from her more easily.
It has been more than a week since they totally distanced themselves, even Camille had decided to stop contact with Mario, out of prudence she was waiting for her heart to heal so she could start with someone and he would be an excellent option for her, remembering him gave her emotion and he would be the perfect candidate to start a new relationship.
One morning she simply woke up determined that it was time to forget about Andy Alf, and although a short time had passed, the relationship between the two had already deteriorated from before, so the difference between a month and a week was not much, re-enable his previous phone number, even with the hope that he had spoken to him, but that did not happen, instead many messages came from Mario...
“Dear, how are you? I've missed you.”
“Where are you, Camille? I'm worried about you”.
“I have a job offer for you... call me.”
Among others, they were the messages that she was receiving daily, she had messages from few friends who had always surrounded her, but nothing from Andy Alf, none, there she understood, that this was also a message, he had decided to move away and that was true. that I would respect him.
He takes his phone and types Mario's number, who did not wait with his answer at the first ring.
“Hi gorgeous! Camille, I haven't stopped thinking about you, how are you?”
“Hi Mario, I'm fine, I've seen all your messages, excuse me for my absence, but I wanted to take some time to think a little better about my things, but I think it's time to get back to reality, I need a job, and well I've Seeing that in the messages, among other things, you talk to me about one”.
“Yes dear, there is a perfect job offer for an excellent human resources psychologist like you, and guess?” he remains silent trying to give more plot to the matter.
“I don't know! Tell me what the mystery is?” she responds a little sarcastically, she often didn't like Mario's tone.
“Which is in the biggest ALF competition, the vacancy for you is at Parker Industries, coincidentally a couple of weeks ago the company's head of human resources stopped working, so there is a vacancy available, I myself have recommended you there, well, I know about your skills, so if it's okay, you could introduce yourself tomorrow”  Camille is confused, as he was competing for the CEO position in the ALF company, he was motivating her to work in the competition, because Parker, there was always been the company with which ALF had always had a rivalry, from a very young age, Andy's families and the CEO of Parker clashed over the industry, so this would be a very low blow for Andy, and that was what she did not want , act like a scoundrel.
“No, Mario, I know that you are doing it with the best of intentions, but I think that after having worked at ALF, it is convenient for me to work in such a prestigious position in its greatest competence, you know that it would not be ethical for me, Because of the relationship I had with Andy, that's what I mean.” She at once declines the great offer, which, while tempting, violated her moral principles.
"Little girl, you don't have anything to do with Andy anymore, what's more, I want to confess a secret to you" Camille didn't like Mario's tone of voice at all, however, she was going to give him the opportunity to speak. Although her relationship had ended on bad terms with Andy, she had no interest in him being harmed by third parties.
“Sure, tell me Mario! What secret?”  she responds giving him all the confidence, she wanted him to believe that she was no longer in favor of Andy so that he would tell him his intentions
“Well, I'll tell you, but I think it's better that we see each other, I'd love to see you, I miss you too little, what do you think if I pick you up for lunch at 2?” She already knew that he was carrying something on his shoulders, maybe it wasn't an evil plan, he was simply manipulating her to be able to compare her.
“Enchanted! Then we'll see you both, I'll wait for you, I can't guarantee much about my presentation because you're giving me very little time to get ready, but well, I'll try to do my best”.
“Don't worry, you're beautiful anyway. see you!”
Camille, noticing the tone with which that man was speaking to her, felt concern and a bad feeling, however, she had to listen to him to know if it was what she thought and Mario had planned to hurt Andy.
It was time for lunch, indeed Camille did not dress up much to go unnoticed by Mario, she did not want him to continue forging many illusions about her, so she simply put a bow in her hair, put on jeans and a top, or I don't even use mascara, however, when Mario gets out of his car, he doesn't stop praising her with treachery.
“It just can't be! but what are my eyes seeing?” she gives him a somewhat fake smile.
“Oh, don't say that Mario, I'm ordinary, how are you?” she approaches and gives him two kisses, one on each cheek, when she does this, he tries to move her cheek to touch her mouth, but she doesn't allow it.
They both get in the car and go to a restaurant in the city, while they are ordering lunch, she simply decides to face him.
“Well, tell me the secret there is for me, you told me you would tell me “She starts giving him mischievous looks while playing with her hair.
“Well, if I don't stay as CEO of ALF, I'm going to work with Parker, I'll try to absorb the ALF company, that's why I'm in the company right now, since I can access more information, if I stay as CEO, Well, I will also associate with Parker to give a name to a single company” Camille stares at him perplexed, she did not believe what she was saying, and she did not believe the reasons why she was entrusting it to him, however, she was still attentive, showing her confidence.
“Seriously, but what you have in mind seems super good to me” it doesn't occur to her to say more to gain his trust.
They both stay talking about the plans he has against ALF, it was like she was feeling, he had bad intentions and she had to find out all of them, just out of respect for the relationship she had with Andy.
