Chapter 146
Henriques chose for himself another song called Only Love You’ and I sang it. Meanwhile, my palms
were sweaty as I sat down on the couch alone.
Then, Jessica moved and nudged me. “What happens to you now?”
“What do you mean?” I made a fool of myself at her question.
“I ask, why do you be so impotent and timid in front of Henriques? It was the same thing during
the previous ride and it happened again today. Tell me honestly: what are you afraid of?”
“What could en be afraid of?” I replied with a guilty conscience.
“Don’t try to hide it from me. Tell me the truth.”
Jessica was a sincere person. Also, she, like me, was the type who would never give up until she
reached her goal. Still, how could I tell her the thoughts racing through my heart? To be honest, I had

no idea what those thoughts were either. All she knew was that whenever she looked into Henriques’
eyes, she was inexplicably disturbed. More importantly, it didn’t feel right. Also, I wasn’t 18 anymore. By
this time, I was past the stage of being incredibly nervous when facing a man. Unfortunately, I also had
no exnation for my behavior.
Fortunately, my phone rang just in time, causing the awkwardness in the air to dissipate instantly. So I
grabbed my phone and went to a quiet spot outside the room to answer it. It was Carlos. “Honey, why
are you still
Didn’t youe back?”
“We’re not done yet.”
“Do you really need that long to eat a meal?”
How strange: What’s going on with Carlos? Why does he want me home so much? So I got a little
impatient. “I can’t help it either. How can I leave before my client leaves?”
“Do you want me to go get it?”
“There is no necessity. President Freitas is going to send me home.” Carlos probably noticed the
impatience in my tone. Then he said a few more words to me before hanging up.
After I ended the call, I started to walk back to the private room. However, I saw a young couple fighting
each other in the doorway of another private room just as I turned. Isn’t this woman my sister-inw,
Pam? I was so shocked that I unknowingly took a few steps back. However, Pam didn’t notice my
presence. She was pulling the man and crying. “Because you lied to me?”
The man replied in a low voice, trying to persuade her, “It’s just a meeting between some of my
friends. stop making so much noise
“How can I keep silent about this?! You lied to me that you were nursing a headache and resting at
home! If I hadn’t been at my colleague’s birthday party here, I would never have known you were here
having a date with a bunch of old hags! You need to exin this clearly to me!”
“Pam, listen to me. I was resting at home due to a headache. Later Cintia said she had a business
matter to discuss with me. So, I had toe despite my headache.”
“You liar! If you are discussing business, why not discuss it properly?! Why were you sitting so close
together?! Furthermore, when I opened the door, I clearly saw that you were touching that old witch’s
chest!”
“You are wrong! I wasn’t touching your chest; her clothes were stained and I was just trying to help her
clean them up.
“That is true?”
“Why would I lie to you?! You saw it for yourself too! All the people inside were old witches! How could I
be so desperate?”
Upon hearing these words, Pam seemed to believe him. In her opinion, she was prettier and
younger than all the women inside. Therefore, her boyfriend had no reason to attack those older
women. “I’m warning you; you better not be lying to me! If you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive
you! You know who my brother is. Not to mention there’s my sister-inw too! My city is the beloved
daughter of the Morais Family!”
“I know Even if you gave me all the courage in the world, I would never dare to lie to you!”
“So when are you going to tell your family about our rtionship?”
