Obsession and desire novel Chapter 80

Andy goes straight to Parker, he was willing to sell his soul if necessary to get Camille back and take revenge for everything that Mario and Brett were doing to him, although he wasn't used to being a spiteful man, the situation right now warranted it.
Upon arriving at Brett's office, he notices how everyone stares at him, what had happened in his company had not been a secret to anyone, and rumors spread like smoke, however, for Andy this was not a problem, he did. All he was interested in was talking to Brett, acting, and making him think he was interested in a match.
Arriving at Brett's secretary's position, she stares at him contemptuously, but he doesn't let himself be intimidated, he had to keep holding his place.
“Miss, good morning, is Mr. Parker in his office? The woman looks at him as if he were inferior to her”.
 “Who's looking for him?” She acts despotic, it seemed that Andy was only recognized when he was CEO.
“You know perfectly well who I am, however, tell him that Andy Alf is here and that you need to talk to him” The woman gets up from her post in an ironic way and looks him up and down and goes to Brett's office, this confirmed that he was there, so she quickly takes out her phone and types a message before her return to his mother:
“"Mom, go quickly with the investigator for the Parker mansion, try to talk to Camille, Brett is here”.
Meanwhile in Brett's office...
“Mr. Parker, you can't imagine who is outside at the reception” the secretary with her poisonous air goes to her boss.
“I am not a fortune teller Paulet, but when I see your emotion, I imagine that it is someone of interest to me” Brett pours himself a glass of wine, while his secretary plays the mystery.
“Yes, sir, it is someone of interest to you, but remember, it is someone that you wanted to see dragged and it seems that your wishes are being granted” Brett looks at her with a psycho smile.
 “Are you telling me that Andy Alf is out there?”
“Yes, it's him exactly.”
“Tell him to continue immediately, oh and keep an eye on the security personnel, if I press the emergency button make sure everyone is inside”.
The secretary smiles, she had played sentimental games with her boss in the past, so she was his accomplice in the crazy things he wanted to commit, she leaves the office waddling her hips, looking directly at Andy.
The longer it takes Brett's secretary to return, than Andy has sent the message, she goes behind her desk again and looks at him with a smirk.
“My boss is waiting for you”.
“Thanks” Andy fixes his jacket and, imposing as always, goes to Brett's office.
“Well, well, but who is here again? Are you in love with my Alf?”  Brett makes fun of him, while he begins to walk with the glass of wine in his hand, around Andy, he can only see him out of the corner of his eye, he wanted to jump on him and hit him, but he knew that with that he would not achieve almost anything.
“I've come to talk about business, I think we're mature enough to get into nonsense” When Andy mentions the word business, Brett almost chokes on the drink of wine he had in his mouth.
“Business Andy, are you here proposing business? I understand that you hate me, and for that reason there should be no business between you and me”.
“Well, our enmity has been more for business than for a woman, and the woman who used to belong to me has made it clear to me that she wants to be with you and she did it in your presence, I think you've known me for many years and you know I don't I'm the kind of man who would put a woman over a business, you know what your friend did to my company.” Brett interrupts him
“I want to clarify that I am not a participant in this type of tricks, it never crossed my mind that I was going to do that, I had no idea, if I am honest I knew that he wanted to bankrupt Alf, but I came to think that I would do it differently, bad deals, a partnership with me, but rob you! , that was too low” Brett drinks the contents of his glass in one sachet and shakes his head at the bitterness of the wine.
“Yes, that was too low, but we still have 30% of the company, and current businesses that represent the recovery of the other 70%, but we do not have capital, and we cannot do business if there is no capital flow”
“If Andy we know that, what do you want me to do? Have you come to ask me for mercy for your company?”
“More than clemency a small society, it is fair after all, we can associate, I give you all my confirmed business, you know that we have the best in the business, that not only would they give you quite diligent economic royalties, but you would also have a good name on the Forbes list, you would be quite recognized”.
“And what do you gain with that Andy? It wouldn't make sense.”
“To recover my company one day, when yours is well-possessed and I have recovered the capital for mine, this company is dissolved” Andy knew the sagacity that he had for business, and although he tried to get Camille back, he wanted to stay with Parker, do what Mario and Brett had initially planned.
“I don't know Andy, I don't have any type of guarantee with you, besides you are not a person of my affections, and it would be very difficult to trust you”
“If you see it this way, I am the only one who loses if it doesn't work, possibly if I start from zero, with the little capital I have left and the businesses that are already established, well obviously I get up and could be your competition again and take away the commercial place that you want so much.”
“And why don't you do it Andy?”
“It's simple Brett, because I don't have enough capital to have my emporium again, I also want to do it without my father, you know how our history has been, and well once he wanted to humiliate me by putting Mario above me, now I want to return the same, and unfortunately the only good deal I could have is with you”.
Brett thinks about it, it would be a good opportunity to finish humiliating Andy, he believed that he was more cunning than him and that he was telling him the truth, but he didn't imagine that Andy wanted to finish him from the beginning, so they talk about the Conditions of a possible alliance, Andy just needed to buy time for his mother to talk to Camille.
But unfortunately for him, upon arriving at the mansion, Raquel tries to talk to Camille, although she attends the visit, it was not the answer she expected.
“Raquel, what are you doing here?”  Camille doesn't even greet him with affection, she was further away than usual, even though between the two of them one day there was a brotherly affection.
“Daughter, I came to look for you at the request of Andy, he is too worried about you, my love, let's go, let's take advantage of the fact that this bad man is not here and let's go, tell me where Carolain is and we'll go get her and then to the police”.
“No Raquel, I don't want to go anywhere”
“I don't understand you my love, like that, what is happening?”
“You've already heard it; I don't want to go with you. What makes you think that I want to go to Brett's side?”
“Andy told me that you were here against your will Camille, that's why I came, he's talking to Brett and that's why we made sure to come here, I don't understand anything” Andy's mother felt confused, Camille really he showed as if he was happy or okay to be there.
“No, Andy is wrong, I'm in this house because I want to, and if he's not sure about that, tell him that I sent him to tell him never to look for me again, that nobody is pressuring me to be here”.
“No baby, if it's for Carolain, let's go look for her, my friend Victor is a policeman, he can help us with that, but if something is happening, please say so, Camille, Andy is too upset about you, you have us, you are not alone”.
Camille stares at her with melancholy, she wanted to take her bags and leave that house, look for Andy and stay with him forever, but now more than ever, she had to stay by Brett's side.
“I already told you, Raquel, I want to stay here now if you don't mind, you can leave the house please” Camille points to the exit, Raquel, who, disconcerted by his attitude, signals to Victor to leave. What she was doing Camille had no name.
Raquel leaves there with her watery eyes, she was sorry that her son was feeling bad for a woman who preferred to stay with another man, she knew that Andy was not going to like the news, but the truth of the disappointment was necessary to finally make a decision. Camille didn't deserve Andy's love.
What she didn't know was that Camille was hiding a big secret that wouldn't let her leave Brett's side and she was willing to put up with the suffering, she had no other choice.
