Vanessa sighed lightly after hanging up the call. Since there was nothing else to do at home, she had no choice but to look for Orlando's document.
When he found the document, he hurried downstairs with his things. Not wanting to be late, he drove at full speed to the company, thank goodness it wasn't rush hour and there were few traffic lights on the road. Nevertheless, he was five minutes late.
Vanessa called Orlando to send his assistant to get the document, but he refused:
-My secretary is preparing the materials for the meeting and doesn't have time. Take it to me quickly! -Orlando shouted and hung up the call.
Vanessa tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath to hold back the urge to throw his document in the trash, she entered the company, thinking that it might be really urgent and she didn't want to get angry with him out of respect for her grandfather.
The lift arrived quickly at Orlando's office, which was on the nineteenth floor. He did not work at Grupo Moya's headquarters, but managed a branch company on his own as a test for Gerardo.
After a beep, Vanessa arrived at the flat, all was quiet and as the soft carpeting diminished the noises, no one knew she had arrived.
As Vanessa was about to knock on the door of the president's office, she heard Orlando's laughter and Melina's shy voice coming through the crack in the door.
Evidently, these two people were wandering around during working hours, causing Vanessa to burn with anger.
"And you said you were in a hurry for the meeting? Ha!"
Vanessa pushed open the door with a straight face and threw the document at him.
-The document you need.
-Ah! Vanessa!
Melina, frightened, climbed off Orlando's body and panickedly tidied up her skirt, which was hiked up to her waist.
-Don't you know how to knock before entering? -asked Orlando, very upset by the interruption.
-How was I supposed to know you were flirting with your lover during working hours? -Vanessa refuted him in a cold voice.
-Vanessa, I... -Melina spoke with aggravation, as if she had been harassed by Vanessa.
"Now that's an exemplary hypocrite!"
Vanessa laughed, no longer wanting to look at Melina, she said to Orlando coolly:
-Don't ask me to bring you documents again, I don't have time. On the other hand, you can have all the romances you want, but remember that you are in the company and grandfather would be disappointed if he knew.
Gerardo had always been a loving grandfather to Vanessa, so she respected him a lot. She didn't care what Orlando and Melina did, but she warned Orlando for Gerardo's sake.
-Are you threatening me with grandfather again? -Orlando completely misunderstood Vanessa's words and said, "Melina is my secretary.
Then Melina opened her mouth at the right moment:
-Vanessa, I'm sorry. I heard the call and wanted to come down to pick it up, but Orlando wouldn't let me, saying it would be too much work for me to go down and up, so it would be better if you brought it in person.
"Is it too tiring to walk a few steps from the office to the lift? You're kidding me!"
Vanessa didn't look at her, gave Orlando a fierce glare and left.
-Vanessa, I'll come with you," Melina hurried after her.
They were waiting for the lift, Vanessa ignored her, while Melina kept making disgusting gestures to show off her large breasts.
-Vanessa, from now on I will work as your husband's secretary and we will be together for days and nights. Actually, Orlando and I seem like a perfect match compared to you.
Vanessa rolled her eyes at him, ignoring him.
-Well, didn't you two get along very well in the past? I really didn't expect Orlando to have sex with me at your wedding. You know how much I've always liked Orlando?
-Well, congratulations on getting what you wanted," Vanessa congratulated her with a fake smile.
-I think it's clear to you that Orlando doesn't love you any more, he doesn't want to see you, let alone sleep with you. If you're smart, you'd better take the initiative to leave.
-I always want to divorce him, but Orlando won't accept it," Vanessa shrugged.
And he kept looking sideways at Melina:
-You were present that night and I suppose you know that it was Orlando who didn't let me go.
-He must have done it on purpose!
Vanessa laughed at Melina's unreasonable response and said:
-Think what you want, but I'd appreciate it if you could get Orlando to divorce me.
That said, the lift arrived and Vanessa got in. As the lift door slowly closed, Vanessa drew a sweet smile in order to tease Melina.

The Cazalla Group was in the opposite direction and Vanessa was clearly late for work, so she rushed into the office.
It was already midday after having finished the design she had left yesterday. It had been a long time since she had had lunch with her father, so Vanessa went to the top floor, where the president's office was located, to look for her father, Felipe Cazalla.
-Vanessa? -I was just looking for you!
-It's like we have telepathy, Dad! -said Vanessa, smiling.
In front of Philip, Vanessa had always been his naughty girl and she hugged him happily.
-Dad, let's go to the staff restaurant for lunch, okay? Since they're serving your favourite dish today, the sweet and sour ribs.
-Great, let's go then," replied Philip, who always spoiled his daughter.
Vanessa happily took her father's arm and they went chatting.
-They say Orlando's uncle didn't join Grupo Moya, right?
The Moya family and the Cazalla family got along very well because of the marriage union and they were in the same city, so Felipe paid attention to Dylan. However, Felipe had not attended the banquet, because he was abroad with his wife that day.
-Yes, I've heard that he's bought a whole building, but I don't know what kind of company he's setting up. They're still renovating it and you can't see anything," Vanessa didn't feel like talking about Dylan.
-It's good that he wants to go into business for himself, young people should not wait for help from their relatives, standing idly by and doing nothing. It is said that this boy worked very well abroad, I'm sure he will succeed with his own company in the Pacific City, maybe he will surpass the Moya Group.
-Dad, do you have such a good impression of Dylan? -Vanessa asked Philip with surprise.
The Cazalla Group was not the best company in the Pacific City, but Felipe was a businessman with good vision who demanded a lot from his work. So if he praised Dylan so highly, it showed that Dylan had a lot of ability.
