Benjamin was returning to the office when he found two people waiting at the door, a gentle and kind-looking lady and a man with glasses that resembled a person.
- Good morning, can I help you?
The lady looked at Benjamin and asked.
- Is this my son Armand's room?
- No ma'am, this is the presidency's meeting room.
-Yes woman, you don't remember that we were here, well you can tell Armand that his parents are here.
- Clear.
Armand's parents went to their son's office and when Benjamin enters the conference room with the folders he almost falls on top of Oliver. For a moment Oliver held him by the arms and the two stared at each other.
Oliver was all embarrassed and looked at Benjamin's lips and didn't understand why he felt Oliver's heart beating fast.
"Sometimes I forget that I can feel and hear people, but why can't I hear their thoughts Mr. Oliver" thought Benjamin feeling only his heart beat faster.
- Ahh are you okay?
- Oh yes sir, no sir, oh sorry sir Oliver, did I hurt you?
Benjamin asked all flustered.
Everyone in the room saw the little accident and Martin looked at Armand and gave a small smile.
- Hey you two, already finished there, you can go to a motel if you want. - said Robert spoiling the moment.
- What did you say you idiot ! Oliver asked.
- Oliver control himself, and Benjamin gives me the documents and you can return to your room, the meeting is over.
- Yes sir, ah before I forget sir Armand, your parents are waiting for you in your room.
- My parents here? What they want?
Robert stood up laughing and said.
- Ah Armand, I think today is your last day as president of the company, you can get ready and pass your post to me hahahahaa.
Armand turned his back, not caring what Robert said, and left the room and everyone who was there left leaving Robert and Kin alone.
Kin passed by him taking some dirty cups on the tray and said .
- You may be handsome, good looking, but all that beauty hides what you really are, I admired you, but I'm starting to change my opinion.
Robert looked at the secretary and pulled him by the arm, and Kin stared at the young shareholder.
- Do you want to die man?
- I'm not afraid of you, I have a black belt in Muaythai.
- Big deal, but you pay me, I won't forget you.
Kin watched Robert leave nervously and gave a silly little smile, even knowing that Robert was a difficult guy, he loved him in secret.
- Ahh Robert, I will still dominate your heart, wait for me.
When Armand left, he saw his parents talking at the door of his office.
- Hi dad hi mom, you over here. He said giving each of them a kiss.
- Hi my son, we came to see you, how is everything here.
- It's okay mom thanks for visiting, let's go to my room, I'll order a coffee for us.
Armand's parents entered and soon Armand's mother said.
- My son, this place is very beautiful.
- Thanks mom, but the beauty of Power mans Model has always been a sign of beauty left by you.
Armand's mother and father hugged him, when Benjamin enters asking for permission and brings coffee for them, shortly after Oliver enters with Martin.
_ Thank you Benjamin, you can withdraw and leave me alone with the shareholders and my parents.
- Yes sir, excuse me Mr Oliver, Mr Martin.
Benjamin left Armand's office all worried, thinking that the president's parents wouldn't want him in the company. So Benjamin was glued to the door trying to hear the conversation.
" My son, did you hire that finance secretary? " Asked Armand's mother.
_ Yes mom, it was me, he has great qualifications.
_ I believe he has, but he is so ugly, poor thing.
_ Mom, please. We've already closed this matter, I don't want to discuss it anymore.
_ With all due respect, Mrs. Leroy - Oliver interrupted, gently holding Armand's mother's hands. She who adored Oliver and treated him like a son- Trust me, I chose Secretary Benjamin and I saw great potential in him, I'm sure he will help us and I only choose the best, if anything happens to our company, you can fire me.
_ Oh my son, do not say that I trust you.
Oliver winked at Armand's mother and looked at Armand smiling as she laughed.
As for that behind the door, Benjamin heard everything going all silly in the clouds.
_ Ohh mister Oliver, you defended me, how cute.
I confess I was quite a fool when Mr. Oliver defended me. I wanted to stay there behind the door to listen to what they were saying when someone approached me.
- Planet Earth calling! - Said the man of about 1. 81 cm, short black hair, almond eyes and a gentle smile.
- Oh, sorry sir, what do you want sir? - I asked nervously trying to adjust myself and fix my glasses that were crooked.
The boy with kind eyes smiled, scratching his nose and then I saw two more people with him.
- It certainly serves for our group " The barracks of the ugly " .
"We're going to call an emergency meeting," Kin said, hugging Benjamin.
-Wait what ugly barracks? But you are beautiful, I am ugly.
Zee laughed, feeling praised, and approached his new colleague, carefully taking off his glasses.
- My love, we are all beautiful, look, you need to look at yourself more in the mirror, of course a shower would help a lot, my dear, working for almost five years in this company, it made us improve a lot in our appearance and style.
- Here we have love, affection, respect and you will be our new member of the barracks, count on us and I love gossip, whatever you want to ask about the owners, I know everything. - said New with his colorful and sweet style.
- Come on, my loves, to the bathroom for the meeting of the Ugly Barracks.
And there they went taking Benjamin all embarrassed, when they got to the bathroom they found Tul looking at himself in the mirror, fixing his hair.
- Oh my God, what a scare, the troop of weirdos invaded the place, go away you horrible people.
- I'm not going anywhere, Tul, it's our bathroom, you have to go out, mocreia with a mustache, - said New, almost advancing on Tulio.
- Calm down young man, leave him alone, who knows he won't improve the way he treats people, you'd look prettier smiling showing your true heart, I feel that Tulio. You dress like that, you try to humiliate people, you think you're superior, but in your eyes I only see sadness, oh and you're looking for great love, but if your heart is black, how are you going to find love.
Tulio was silent after Kin's reading of him, Kin had this power to read people's auras, everyone there called him Mago, sorcerer of love, he had this ability to see the future and give love advice.
- What are you talking about, you can be a guru now Kin, you farm witch.
- I'm just saying what I see and feel, I'm sure it's not.
- I'm very happy, you heard me, I'm beautiful, rich, I dress well, look at me all men and women would love to be with me, I'm enough darling, now you, hahaha look at you, ugly people need to be born again.
Benjamin and the others present stared at Tul without saying a word.
_ They were silent because I'm right, you make me feel sorry, I don't know how Armand had the courage to put you to work here.
- We are very well qualified and what do you have on your resume? Only six semesters of finance, I bet you can't even do the math in your head. - New spoke irritated.
_ I went to college and I have a lot of competence to work here, and I'm beautiful, something that you are far from being, Ahh let me withdraw because this discussion is tiring my beauty.
And Tul almost waddled out in front of them.
Benjamin, in turn, went to a bench with his head down, took off his glasses and started to cry.
The boys saw that and asked what was going on.
- He's right, I'm ugly, and look at me, what I have in intelligence I lacked in beauty, I'm plain, people look at me as if I were the ugly thing. Never had a real boyfriend, I try to dress up but nothing fits, I think I'll die alone and a virgin.
New nearly choked when she heard Benjamin say virgin.
_ By our lady of the ugly ones, are you a virgin?
_ Stop it New, you don't need to say anything Benjamin. - Zee said consoling him.
_ Yes I am, I actually never went out with anyone, not even my first kiss, how can they want to kiss me if I look like the ugly duck with braces. I've never dated and I'm Gay , but I don't go around revealing my sexuality around.
Kin approached Benjamin raising his face at the level of his eyes and said.
_ You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my entire existence. Believe Benjamin, you are special, you care about others, you give the best of yourself, you are friendly, you have presence and you are very intelligent. Your eyes tell me the beauty of your soul. A pure and innocent soul that sees no evil and is always ready to carry the afflicted and humiliated in her heart. And I see a man who was destined for you, and you will love each other very much, I point out that souls will be hurt if you separate them.
Benjamin smiled wiping away the tears. And everyone in the barracks hugged him and finally said together.
_ WELCOME TO THE UGLY QUARTEL !!!
