The Dark Secret of the CEO by Sofia de Orellana

Chapter 29

Luz opens her eyes, a smile is drawn and for the first time in almost a week she was able to sleep peacefully. She doesn’t know if because of the milk or because of the nice words that she said to Gerard.

After that, each one finished their cup in silence and went up to their rooms, with just a look they said goodnight and wished each other a nice dream. (Only the most connected couples have managed to communicate only with their eyes and it usually takes a long time)

A few rooms away, Gerard wakes up happy, full of energy and wanting to smile all day.

-This doesn’t seem like a normal Monday – he goes into the bathroom and looks in the mirror -. Nothing is normal with her anymore!

Of course he jumps in like a teenager, singing and whistling, thinking that he has found a point in common with Luz, that he will be able to help her study.

-I’ll be your tutor – he says getting out of the shower, taking a towel and going to the room -.

Suddenly someone enters the room without knocking and he remains paralyzed, while he sees the girl of his alegrías turn around scared.

-Oh no…sorry!

He runs out, slamming the door shut and leaving Gerard with a pounding heartbeat. He looks for pants to go looking for her and remembers that she is embarrassed to see him without a shirt, so he looks for her. On his way out he runs into Darcy who looks him over from head to toe and says mockingly. – Is the new uniform for work?

-Shut…

He walks past her and goes to Charlize’s room, but neither of them is there. She retraces the path and knocks on Luz’s door. The girl, her voice weak from her embarrassment, tells her to come in.

-Light… – he approaches her and hugs her, the girl buries herself in his neck and begins to cry -. It’s okay, I guess Charlize wanted to play hide and seek, right?

“Yes,” she says, wiping away her tears. She told me which was the room of her mother and her cousin, I thought her room was on the same side…sorry. one

– Don’t worry, I’m not upset.

-Really? -The girl’s reddened look fills him with tenderness and she can’t help but caress her face to get the tears out of her skin-.

-I could not bother with you, ever – and that is the moment… -.
