Chapter 51: Chapter 51
“Hey, Daniel,” Derek smiled when he saw her, his happiness flooded in his heart when he finally saw her there. Daniel let go of what Caroline told him and smiled when Derek hugged her.
“Hi,” she kissed him on the cheek, “I missed you so much,” she broke the hug, “I can't believe I am back,” Derek showed her the way to her office and she winked and started walking.
“This has been a mess without you,” Derek sat behind his desk, “I'm glad you're finally here,” Daniel put her bag aside and took the papers Derek handed to her, “the hotel we're building in the south is having a hard time with the design,” that made Daniel frown, “I know, you designed it,” he sighed.
"And then?" She asked confused. Derek didn't answer "Derek, what happened? That design was supposed to be fine, why are there complications?”
Derek looked away for a few seconds and when he turned back to her, he gave up, “Caroline gave the order to change it. She says that the design could compromise the project and the buyers could not buy them,” Daniel looked at him amazed, why is that woman meddling in her work? “Daniel, wait.”
"No, stay here Derek" Daniel left Derek's office and quickly got on the elevator to go to the presidential floor. It is incredible how that woman mixes her personal problems with the professionals that she will not tolerate.
“Hi Daniel,” the receptionist greeted her, “I'm glad you're finally back,” Daniel stopped to greet the woman and Caroline who comes out of Yazahib's office rumpled her clothes a little more and finished just when Daniel looked around the place.
Daniel frowned when she saw her lipstick a little rough and her blouse with some buttons open, but it hurt more when she realized that the office she was leaving is Yazahib's. "Can we talk?" She asked, walking in her direction.
Carolina cheekily smiled, "I'm in a good mood, so yeah, we can talk."
Daniel's heart pounded in her chest and her pulse shot up with rage, “well, let's go to your office.” Caroline knows perfectly why she is there and of course she will take advantage of her to make her look bad in front of everyone.
"We can do it here," she said casually, looking into her eyes.
Daniel sighed and handed him her papers, “may I know why you intervene in my work?"
Caroline looked into her eyes without interest and shrugged, “I should intervene when you don't do your job well.”
Daniel felt a lot of anger at that moment, what does that bad woman say? “We both know that my work is always well done. We both know that this design would make the project something more attractive and interesting for the buyer. Can you tell me why my work is badly done? I am the one who knows about architecture, not you,” she looked at her furiously, “I will not tolerate you mixing personal things with professional ones. It's not my damn fault that Yazahib left you for killing his baby,” she yelled furiously without realizing that Yazahib was leaving his office just at that moment.
"Daniel," he looked at her reproachfully, Daniel knew that he was blaming her for her reaction.
“Yazahib,” she intervened.
"Stop," he interrupted as he approached Caroline, “how could you yell something like that at her in front of everyone?"
Daniel looked around her and everyone looked at her, “why can’t I if she can hurt me? Or she is free to do anything with me? Well, I won't tolerate that! I'm already tired that she and her friend are making my life impossible,” she looked at Caroline angrily, “that is the last time you interfere in my work. If you do it again I will not respond to my actions,” she pointed and then looked at Yazahib, “you must be sure whose side you are on, because if you choose her over me, you will lose me forever,” she turned around to leave but Yazahib stopped her. He doesn't have to choose from them, he will always choose her.
“You know I love you,” he looked into her eyes after turning her around, “but I must take care of you and our daughter. Altering you in that way, it hurts.” He kissed her lips, “let's talk in my office.”
Caroline looked at them, dead with rage. How is it possible that he did not defend her? Why does he treat her with pampering after what she yelled at her face? Of course that bitch is bothering her and she will pay dearly for it.
“Why did you scold me in front of others?” Daniel looked at him seriously, “why did you do it Yazahib?”
He sighed, getting closer to her, “I didn't defend her, I just prevented you from continuing with that. We're at work Daniel, you can't do that here, you know it.”
She nodded, she really got carried away with rage, “when you left, were you with her?” Yazahib looked at her confused, “be honest Yazahib, don't lie to me.”
He suspected that she must be up to something and just held her closer, “no,” he looked into her eyes, “she just brought some papers that needed my signature and that's all.”
Daniel looked at him and nodded, “I hate that woman,” she confessed, “I hate her and I don't want her to be near us Yazahib, I don't want her near us.” Yazahib understood her, Caroline is not easy and he knows that she is jealous of Daniel. “She came out with her shirt unbuttoned and wiping her lipstick,” she looked at him with her eyes full of tears. She knows he didn't do anything, but other people don't know, “in front of everyone.”
Yazahib cursed, Carolina is a pain in the ass, “you know I didn't do anything with her. We just worked, we had a meeting and we were clarifying some points that we must solve,” he hugged her and then kissed hers on her lips, “you must trust me.”
She looked at him and held back her tears, “it's just that other people don't think the same as me. They only see what is shown to them and that makes me feel bad ... I am the one who cheated on you with your best friend, I am the bitch who left her boyfriend for his best friend,” she could not hold back the tears and it was overflowing on her cheeks.
“Don't say that, I abandoned you when you needed me the most. Also Derek told me that you never gave yourself completely to him because you were still in love with me, I don't want you to blame yourself. Stop crying, that hurts our daughter,” he hugged her with a little more force, “I will talk to Caroline, I will not allow her to hurt you, I will not allow this,” he kissed her head and Daniel nodded.
“Thank you,” she looked into his eyes and smiled, “I love you so much Yazahib… you are the love of my life, you know it right?”
He looked at her in love and nodded, “I know my queen, you are everything to me too,” he kissed her lips. “Do you want to go eat something? You must feed yourself.”
Daniel sighed, calmer and nodded, “I'm starving," she caressed his cheek, “are you taking me for pizza?"
Yazahib rolled his eyes, “you must eat better,” when he saw her make a pout he laughed, “ok ... I'll take you to eat pizza, but for dinner you must eat properly.”
Daniel laughed amusedly and nodded like a good girl, “okay, I also want to talk about the project that Caroline screwed up, Frank gave me the go-ahead because he knows it's good.” Yazahib nodded, he knows that his girl is good at what she does and he doesn't have any doubt.
