Matew offers to help

I went home and all I could do was cry,I took a shower in tears and then went to sleep. The next day I got ready for work,I didn't feel so good,but I went anyway.

I arrived at the photo studio and everyone looked at me surprised, I would not take their credit, I was horrible, there was also the scandal yesterday, everything cooperated to look at me in such a way.

-Good morning Olivia," I say, walking around their table.

-Good morning, Helena.

I was walking to my room, but stopped and looked at her as soon as she called me.

-Hello?

-Augusto is back and Larissa is waiting for you in her office, she didn't say what it was about, but from her not so happy and not so angry face, I don't think it's a good thing.

-Ok, I'll be right there, thanks Olivia.

I smile mildly and follow the path to Larissa's office, as soon as I arrive Monica warns me and I receive permission to enter, then I open the door to her office and enter, as soon as my eyes scan the place, I see a serious and thoughtful boss.

-Good morning Ms. Larissa.

-Good morning Helena, how are you today?

-Good, I think.

-Sit down.

-Yes, ma'am.

I sit in the chair facing her big desk, she looks at her laptop and then at my face.

-What I have to say is very serious and I'm really sorry, but I have to do it.

-I don't understand,ma'am.

-I'm going to have to fire you for a short time,rest assured that I am sure of your innocence,but Elisabeth coerced me into it,threatened me and you know how important the company's image is for it to stand out,to grow and to do business.

-Yes... I know.

-So if this scandal comes to light, and in the way my sister wants to expose it, it would destroy her peace of mind and our hard work over the years...I'm sorry.

-Nothing, you're right, you can't risk your company because of me, I understand you very well.

-Thank you for being so understanding, as soon as all this calms down, you will return to work with us.

-Thank you for the opportunity, ma'am.

I left her room and went home, crying and eating snacks, everything bad was happening so fast, I had no structure for any of this, I even thought of going back to my parents' house with the little money I had left, but I would be ridiculed in my city, a pregnant, single woman without a job.

The same day at night:

I almost didn't eat right except for snacks,I was a little hungry,mom didn't want to go make food for me,so I keep throwing myself on the couch,remembering the amazing months I had that turned out to be just daydreams and past.

I hear knocking at the door,which stopped me from crying again,so I slowly get up,see who it is and open the door.

-Good evening, what are you doing here?

-What a bad mood, dear Helena, I came to keep you company and you act so cold to me.

-Matew, today is not a good day, please go back to your place.

-I brought you champagne, sweets, fruits, food and some salty snacks.

-It's okay, come in.

I make room for him and so he enters, I close the door, he puts all the things on the coffee table and then hugs me tightly, so I cried all I would before he came.

-He was too perfect, normal people are not like that, only those who hide their defects.

-How could I have never imagined this? it seems like it was there before my eyes all the time, but I blindly refused to think of him being unfaithful to me, but the reality is that he had no other, well, he did, but the other was me, the other was me Matew, I helped him cheat and betray his wife and this is one of the things that has been weighing on my mind the most?

-I know, doll, but it happened and it wasn't your fault.

He stroked my hair and then we ate and drank, he told me the stories of his youth alone, or when he was with his wife, I smiled happily and was able to forget my sad life for a little while.

-How did you know all this?

I stared at the ceiling, my head resting on the back of the sofa.

-Olivia told me everything from beginning to end, so I thought you might need a friend.

-Thank you for always helping me, I don't know what I'd be without you.

-With my help or not,you would be this Helena warrior,who fights to get what she wants,what she wants.

-And then you lose everything by loving someone who didn't deserve love.

-But you'll be able to change this situation, you did it once, and you can do it again and again, because you have me around, I can help you with everything.

-What was your job offer again?

-Unfortunately, you took too long and that position was filled, but I can find a position for you, even if I have to make it up.

He smiles and I sigh, I close my eyes, feel caresses on my face, neck, hair and Matew was by my side always, respected me (even if he forced me to go out with him), but respected me and did everything to help me?

-What you need, you can talk to me, for you, for the baby...the work will take a while, but I still make it a point to take care of you.

I sit erect and stare into her clear eyes and slightly gray blond hair.

-Don't force yourself, Dad doesn't want to and won't take care of us.

-I know it must be hard to believe, but since the first time I saw you I've grown to love you so much, and everything that has to do with you, I want to participate, to care, to watch over you.

-Men are only kind when they want something.

-Don't generalize, Helena.

-I don't believe in men anymore.

-All right, I'll have to resolve to help you without offering. Well, go to sleep, I'll clean up here.

-And then take advantage of me? -Yes.

-If I was going to do that, I'd have done it already.

I look at his face and he just smiles, then puts his things away, then I go to bed, I stay awake for long minutes, but Matew didn't try anything, so I slept more peacefully.
