Chapter 145


    After hearing my apology , President Freitasughed again . _ _ _ _ “ Do n’t worry about it . Since Henr


    iques does n’t freak out right away , then it ‘s water under the bridge . ”


    “ Serious ? ”


    “ Yes . To be honest , I was nervous too . After all , Henriques ‘ temperament can be a bit strange , and


    I was worried that he might lose his temper right there . _ ”


    “ If my mistake affects thepany ‘s business with Henriques , then I would be a big sinner . ”


    “ It’s not that serious . Besides , it ‘s not what you ‘re imagining . Well , you will find out in


    the future .” After that , he ended the conversation there and I tactfully followed his lead . _ _ _ _ As hea


    d of thepany , hewould

    hide secrets from me on purpose . If he could let me know directly , he would . On the


    other hand , if he didn’t want to tell me , it didn’t make sense . ask more .


    When we


    arrived at the discotheque ‘s private lounge , Henriques and Jessica were still nowhere to be seen . Aft


    er a short wait , they walked in together , smiling and excited . I wonder why they are so happy .  _ _


    Then President Freitas ordered a tter of fruit to apany the alcohol . _ _ _ Meanwhile , Jessica c


    hose a song and sang a duet with Henriques while President Freitas and I sat quietly by the side and e


    njoyed the music . the voice ofJessica was absolutely beautiful . Likewise , Henriques ‘ voice was also


    very beautiful . _ _ _ Thus , the duet came out very pleasantly .


    When the song ended , they sat down . Jessica then eagerly poured Henriques a ss of alcohol and


    ced some fruit on his te .  _ _ _


    In a good mood , Henriques ate them all . Both looked like they were having a great time . On


    the contrary , I stayed by


    the side watching them with astonishment . Was n’t Henriques that cold and unapproachable man ? _


    He sure does n’t look like one today !


    When President Freitas saw how


    much fun Henriques and Jessica were having , he was also happy . At the same time , he felt relieved t


    hat Jessica was keeping Henriquepany . So he rxed and took the initiative to sing a duet with m


    e .The song he chose was a ssic called A Pair of Lonely Hearts ‘ . _ As he was born in Charme , his l


    ocal songs were naturally an integral part of him . On the other hand , I ‘ve always been a


    fan of Danny Chan et songs too .I


    liked to sing their songs . So our duet went very smoothly until I felt satisfied with my  _ _


    canto.


    After that , President Freitas chose another song called Desaparecidos Entre Vento e Chuva : When th


    e melody started ying , Henriques stopped ying dice with Jessica and looked at her . _ _ _ All of a


    sudden , this song stressed me out , because I


    could fen intense gaze searing my back , leaving me inexplicably disturbed . _ Fortunately , this was


    a song I sang often and was very familiar with . _ _ _ _ So I did n’t do too badly . _ After finishing the s


    ong _, I put the mic


    down and went back to my seat . Then Henriques smiled at me . _ “ Mrs. _ Morais , you sing very well .


    ”


    Upon hearing this , I


    blushed , and President Freitas replied in my ce : “ Mr. Ribeiro , why do  n’t you sing a duet with _


    Linda if interested ? _ ”


    “ Can I ? ” Although Henriques ‘ words came out as a question , he immediately chose a song –


    “ L for Love , L. for Lies .  _


    Bracing myself , I picked up the microphone again . As the melody yed , Henriques looked at


    me with a burning look and sang the first line of the lyrics . It turned out to


    be such a touching and loving line : “ Finding you again after our breakup ”


    I didn’t dare meet his eyes . Instead , I looked at the screen and sang in a tight voice , “ Looking into yo


    ur eyes and hearing your voice  again .


    Meanwhile , he kept looking directly at me . _ “ Too used to seeing your smiling face from


    the left ” . I was n’t sure if it was just my imagination , but I could n’t help but feel that there


    was a deeper meaning in the words .that he was singing . Consequently , I ended


    up singing so badly that the entire song was practically ughtered beyond recognition . When


    I finally finished the song and lowered the microphone , I


    noticed that President Freitas and Jessica were


    studying me attentively , it was clearthat my loss ofposure led them to realize that something was


    wrong .
