One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 88

Chapter 88:

Hugo stayed all morning working in the office, he had a ton of work or just couldn’t manage to concentrate on what he was doing, so he had to start all over again, it was all due to the guest who had arrived a couple of hours earlier and was in the meeting room.

When he arrived at work that morning he was met with the terrible news that his wife, or soon to be ex-wife, had a meeting with company executives to request cooperation.

Usually Hugo would be in charge of this type of work, but as he had decided to keep his distance he left the decision to the rest and assured that he did not want to be involved in such an agreement.

Because of that, Hugo did not leave his office all morning, he did not want to meet Sara by chance in one of the corridors of the company, but knowing that she was there, so close, did not allow him to concentrate on work.

After a long monologue and convincing himself that there was no reason to hide he decided to go out for lunch, he sighed with relief when he managed to leave the company without replaceing Sara, but his good luck was interrupted when he sat down in the restaurant and noticed that in a few tables ahead of him was his personal hell, made to measure and in heels.

She saw him immediately and gave him a radiant smile, one of those that make the sun become opaque with so much splendor, then preceded to place behind her ear a lock of hair without taking her eyes off Hugo, she smiled again, but this time she gave him a little bite on her lower lip, wasting sensuality.

Hugo couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up from the table with a loud push of the chair, everyone present looked at him and embarrassed he asked Alejandro to change his seat, thus remaining with his back to his adored torment.

There were many things in life that Sara enjoyed, running, drinking a glass of wine with her friends, listening to music… but nothing had given her as much satisfaction as seeing Hugo blush and lose control.

That morning she had gone to the company hoping to see him, but the coward had hidden, thanks to the incredible Nadia she had all the steps he was going to take that week, so it was very easy for her to provoke another casual encounter.

When Hugo exchanged a seat with Alexander and turned his back to her, she also stood up and walked to his table, she couldn’t stop smiling.

“Good morning, Mr. Moretti, what a miracle to see you around.”

“I don’t think it’s a miracle Sara, if anything it would be a disgrace, and now if you don’t mind I would love to quietly enjoy my lunch.”

“I don’t think those are ways to talk to your wife Mr. Moretti.”

“Ex-wife.” I rectify him.

“I don’t remember the divorce being official until now. So I’m still your wife.”

“Just for now, don’t be in a hurry, I’m sure in a couple of hours you’ll be notified that our separation is official.”

The smile on Sara’s face was wiped off as she understood what he meant and she felt something break in her chest, but she raised her head and recovering herself spoke to him.

“I see that you are very happy with this news Mr. Moretti, but I don’t think you can get rid of me so easily.”

Sara didn’t wait for an answer, nor did she say goodbye, she simply turned her back to him and walked around wiggling her hips sensuously. She left the restaurant and her eyes began to sting, she had a great desire to cry, but she held them back, she sent a message to Nadia.

[I don’t know how you are going to do it, but the divorce paper must disappear and never arrive at the registry office.]

Nadia read the message and forwarded it to Alejandro with a crying face and the simple sentence:

[My life depends on it].

Hugo returned to the company half an hour later and in a worse mood, nobody could make meat more than 10 meters away without having to listen to him yelling at him, he found flaws in everything and with nothing he seemed satisfied.

Alejandro feared for his life if anything happened to the divorce paper, but decided to bet everything on one last move.

He entered the room with a steady pace, a cup of coffee in his hand, but as he was reaching the table he pretended to stumble and all the liquid fell on top of the papers there.

“I don’t understand how you can be so useless” Hugo shouted at him.

Alejandro tried to dry the papers but Hugo yelled at him even louder and told him to get out.

After about half an hour Hugo came out of the office and Alejandro made sure he was left alone and took his chance, but to his terrible luck, the divorce paper was not among the ruined ones and it was not in the office either, that only meant that Hugo had already sent it.
