Chapter 24: Chapter 24

House of Alexandra and Pepe, Lucrecia's parents.

Lucrecia's parents were sitting on the couch in their humble house, thinking if it was really right what they did to pay their debts, to submit their daughter to continue studying and to get good grades, all so that they could receive remittances of money, since, if their daughter Lucrecia is married and still continues with her studies, that generates more money, so the parents could pay those debts and that includes the house so they would not be left without a house.

Mr. Pepe, Lucrecia's father, is thinking and is rather worried, since his daughter Lucrecia never told him about that rich young man, they never really talked about it, 2 weeks before Lucrecia was so happy to marry Julio, but now she is married to someone else.

-Take a tea to calm you down and stop thinking negative things, you know we have to do that, and it's a good offer - Alexandra tells her.

-I know honey, but we are subjecting our daughter to something that I don't know if she wants, you know that her thing is pure design, not to study communications," Pepe tells her worried.

-You are right, but she told me one day that she also wanted to study communications, that way she will be fine, I don't think our daughter will go crazy, but she must not know our secret, but we already signed that thing, there is no turning back, she and you already committed ourselves to that signature, I know that she didn't tell us this thing about the young millionaire, I don't know what our daughter is up to, maybe she keeps some secret just like us, she didn't write me the letter, surely it's something important that she wants to tell me, but she doesn't dare, that's why I wanted to write the letter, remember that our signature is there, and besides, the young millionaire said he would help her, you can see that he is a good person, give everyone the benefit of the doubt, what if they are really crazy and in love, you didn't see how she looked, and tell my daughter that we signed a contract where it says that she must be active in the University, and get good grades so they can send us remittances of money, to save our house and debts, I remind you that our economy is poor, and we will lose the house only 2 months the bank gave us -said Alexandra.

-He would kill us if we told him that, he would think that we are using them," says Pepe just like that.

-He told you a big paragraph just to answer me so simple, do you think we did the right thing, what will happen, do you think our daughter has secrets, why didn't she tell us about her new boyfriend, do you think they will really give us money when she is active in the University, I remind you that she is going in with this tomorrow, more than to have more control of her, I told Marcos if I could put her in virtual mode, but they are exhausted, so no way I can touch her in person, and I hope she doesn't get distracted," says Alexandra.

-She's going to get distracted by the young millionaire, I remind you that she's also going to work with the young millionaire, besides, what the hell, didn't Marcos tell you if he's going to give us money tomorrow morning, we have to pay the house," says Pepe.

-That's why I'm not saying that my concern is that our daughter will back out, and with our insistence, she might find out that I locked him up because of that contract," says Alexandra.

-I'll need more than tea," says Pepe in an impatient voice, as he stiffens his shoulders.

The doorbell rings.

Pepe gets up from the couch while Alexandra gets nervous.

-Hi, we're sorry to come at 6:30 in the morning, but I need you to help us with something," says Milena, who is Jeff's mother.

-Don't worry," says Alexandra approaching the door.

-Interesting," says Pepe.

-We came to offer you a small job in a bar, as waiters, I don't know what you think," says Milena.

-We accept," replies Milena.

-This will help your finances," says Rene, Jeff's father.

-Thank you," says Pepe.

-We will take them to Jeff's mansion, we have a surprise for him, we will have a party, but there will be important people, with whom they will develop, although the offer of the bar, if in the end they don't want to accept it don't do it, maybe someone else will give them a higher offer and in another company, I want them to be part of this," says Jeff's mother, since Milena is characterized for being friendly, although she is rich and has power, but she doesn't forget where she comes from, and she is friendly.

-My son is going to be surprised about the party, when they enter through that door, we will get there before them," says Rene.

-Let's go now," says Pepe.

They lock the door and leave in the limo with Jeff's parents.

Pepe's thoughts: ''It's just a secret, nobody has to know, I don't know what I'm getting into''.

Alexandra's thoughts: ''What a beautiful spacious limousine, with air conditioning, a perfect aroma, I only hope to see my daughter and ask her questions, and well, with the fact that there will be important people, I don't know how I will do it, seriously, with these clothes I will present myself today, and more with important people, what a shame''.

Milena takes Alexandra out of her thoughts.

-I almost forgot, these are new clothes for you, change in the limousine, if you mean privacy, we have included a dark window inside the limousine so you can change at ease, no one will see you, now, when you are ready, let me know to lower the window, enjoy," Milena says while she closes a window that divides the limousine in two parts since it is a big one.

10 minutes later, Alexandra and Pepe were already changed and even they didn't really think that Rene was going to drive a limousine, according to them a chauffeur would take care of them.

-This is really happening," said Alexandra taking Pepe's hand.

-I hope I'm not making a mistake," says Pepe.

-Well now let's tell them that we are changing, we look different with these clothes, so nice, today we look like high class," says Alexandra.

-I know," says Pepe.

They both give notice and the little window opens, and Milena is happy to help.

Pepe and Alexandra thank Rene and Milena, who today are getting to know each other more closely, face to face.
