Chapter Eighteen

The cell phone stopped ringing loudly and Jeanne blew me away with her eyebrow raised.

-Why was Beatriz calling you? He asked in a dark voice and my legs started to shake slightly.

I avoided the intense gaze of Jeanne Nizzari and decided to look at the ground while sighing, it was time to tell the truth.

-The day of the important dinner Beatriz approached me before going to the garden and proposed to spy on you-I said sincerely and Jeanne got up immediately- she subtly told me that if I gave her information about you she could give me a job in her company .-I avoided telling him the last part, which had also offered me information about my boss.

Jeanne paced the room from side to side, avoiding looking at me and deep in thought.

-That bitch -he said spitting out the last word- she knew something was up, but she didn't know how far she could go for it ...

I stayed in silence watching Jeanne, she did not seem to be upset or disappointed, she just seemed to be thinking and analyzing.

-When will the two get together? She asked, looking at me seriously.

-Tomorrow at 7 o'clock-I answered instantly, then I looked at my cell phone and had a new message from Beatriz- I sent me a message a minute ago saying that it was better tomorrow at 12 o'clock because she has things to do.

Jeanne nodded thoughtfully and then turned to look at me.

-Have you agreed to spy on me? She asked doubtfully and I immediately denied.

-I could not, if I admit that I was doubting after this week so ... difficult for both of us, but my loyalty is with you Jeanne, you were the only person who reached out to me at such a difficult time in my life and now I plan to do The same for you-I said sincerely and Jeanne nodded.

-Well, I don't think you had decided to spy on me either, you're too good a person Emma ... I know I can trust you -she said approaching and caressing my cheek- I want to ask you a big favor Emma ... I need you to meet Beatriz and discover what is she up to, please ...- Jeanne Nizzari begging? I had never seen her as a businesswoman before, but now she seemed to have a plan in mind and I couldn't refuse after everything that happened.

"Okay, I accept," I said sure, "but this is the only time I'm going to do it, I don't want to put myself in front of an unnecessary risk again."

Jeanne nodded and thanked me, not before placing a kiss on my cheek.

-Tomorrow Beatriz and her investors have a meeting with me, but later-Jeanne paced the room again- Could you please stop by my office at the Nizzari company after talking with Beatriz? I need to know what you plan before our meeting ...

I nodded but a doubt crossed my mind.

-Beatriz I suppose that she will expect something in return after giving me information and I think I should at least tell her some false clue of yours so that she does not put me in trouble ...

Jeanne turned to look at me and with a half smile clapped her hands.

-Exactly, you are very intelligent Emma, I had not thought about it- Jeanne sat down next to me again- you will tell her this, so please listen to me carefully ...

It was around 10 in the morning when my alarm went off and I cursed inwardly, last night Jeanne gave me specific instructions on how to deal with Beatriz and what to say in front of her, we stayed late into the night talking about the Beatriz's possible reactions, as well as telling me the lies she was going to tell her. At dawn we were both exhausted and with some goodbye kisses I went to sleep -die- in my room.

-Do you want to sleep with me? Jeanne asked before she closed her bedroom door.

When he said that sentence I was stunned, I turned to look at Jeanne Nizzari who was sitting on the bed with bright eyes. I internally debated whether or not to accept his offer. What could I lose? But I decided to refuse because there was little and nothing I could do at night, I found myself too exhausted to do more than sleep and the nerves of my meeting with Beatriz tomorrow did not leave me room for anything other than nervousness and sleep.

-On another night -I said smiling at her and then closing the door, part of me was dying to go back to sleep with Jeanne Nizzari, but I also liked to leave her wanting and make her want more of me, we have many nights to sleep together, or at least I liked to believe that.

So there it turned out for me, putting on a long and beautiful blue dress that Jeanne had left me on my furniture, she had left early in the morning as she told her, she had many things to attend to and decide. The dress was beautiful, it was barely a couple of centimeters above my knee and what I liked the most was that I could wear my back uncovered since it had a V-cut, but also because it had a black bow that crossed my abdomen and that remained to match the whole dress. I decided to wear my hair down and I also applied makeup, according to Jeanne it was important that Beatriz saw me serious and this was demonstrated by my clothes. When I saw myself in the mirror, I found myself seeing myself a few years older but completely elegant and even refined, I had never seen myself this way and part of me felt good self-esteem after many years.

Jeanne's personal driver came to pick me up at the mansion, I discovered that she had been working for the Nizzari family for more than 15 years ...

-They can say many things about this family, but they have always been the best bosses that I could have, when I lost my job and they expelled me along with my family, Mrs. Jeanne sent me to build a house immediately, she has let me miss work every time that my children were sick or my wife, in 15 years all they have done is worry about their staff and that everyone knows, it is a benevolent family and despite everything they could say after the murder, they have never stopped being good persons ...

I listened to the man speak until we reached the place indicated by Beatriz, sometimes I was surprised by the things that Jeanne Nizzari did or did, each time I could notice his human side even more and I must admit that I loved that. Once I said goodbye to the driver, I walked towards the address Beatriz sent, it was a huge Chinese restaurant, with large marble dragons on the outside and detailed gold details next to the name of the place. When I entered a man dressed in a suit greeted me kindly and asked if I had a reservation, when I told him that I was coming at the invitation of Beatriz, his eyes widened and then she immediately took me between several tables behind the premises, it was completely beautiful and elegant, full of Chinese decorations and 2 giant statues in the middle, it was a place that I could never get to pay ...

When we passed through a door that was at the end of the premises I followed him down a long corridor, then we turned left and there was another long corridor full of doors, when we arrived in front of the last one the man opened and there to my surprise there was a table Large for several people along with seating, it was a meeting room according to what the man explained to me, where they also served food.

-Wow-I said surprised after the man left me alone in the room, the level of detail that that room had was incredible, it had a huge chandelier hanging in the center and a mini bar next to it.

-You seem lost looking at that wall Emma-I heard Beatriz's voice and when I turned I was entering the door- I'm sorry for the delay, but a meeting was delayed more than I thought ...

I nodded and greeted Beatriz as kindly as I could.

-Have you ordered what you are going to order? She asked as she shed her coat and was left with a shiny black dress - probably ten times the value of my dress.

I shook my head and Beatriz snapping her fingers made it take a matter of seconds for a waiter to attend us and bring drinks. We sat at a safe distance from each other and then he spoke again.

-Now my dear, I am sorry to have changed our meeting but I have had some mishaps- she excused himself and then looked at me directly- I know that you have come wanting to know more about your dear boss and I will not beat around the bush, I will tell you everything I know and Then I hope you do the same -she said seriously and I nodded trying to hold his gaze.

-Well, why leave? -She said with a slight smile- Jeanne Nizzari a year ago was also a mystery to me, let's say that I was new to this business world and Jeanne Nizzari was one of the model entrepreneurs, the one that all the aspirants wanted to be, and How not if her family built an empire in less than thirty years, as you can see, she was a highly sought after woman and set the standards that everyone wanted to reach. But everything changed after the murder committed by his sister, the Nizzari family was involved in a great scandal and no one was saved from it, except Jeanne. According to the information that she managed to obtain in these long months of investigation and some other gifts to the police, I discovered that Jeanne not only defended her sister before the media, but that she was also a direct accessory to the murder, rather, she was the mastermind of that murder, and when the time of the crime arrived she also participated in it, according to what they informed me, Jeanne had stabbed that poor man the first time, then her sister ended up killing him, it was a premeditated crime and also, authorized under the nose of Jeanne Nizzari ...
