Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

As soon as she arrived at the office, Estrella Berrocal received a call from Adán Rouco.

The man’s deep, magnetic voice came on the other end of the line.

“Why didn’t you answer my message last night?”.

Estrella Berrocal bites her lip and says, as if nothing had happened: “Oh, last night I went to bed and my phone was off, so I forgot to answer it”.

Adán Rouco did not actually ask the question, “Come to the hospital tonight after work.”

Estrella Berrocal just assumed she was going to see Roberto Rouco, so she said “yes” in a soft voice.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now, I have to work.”

“Yes.”

Adán Rouco answered indifferently, and just as he was about to hang up, Estrella Berrocal suddenly asked, “By the way, have you had breakfast yet…?”

“No.”

“Ah.”

She hadn’t actually eaten breakfast, and Estrella Berrocal suddenly felt a little guilty as she remembered the breakfast they had thrown in the trash in the morning.

How could she lie to the little girl if she came home at night and Paulita asked her if she had sent her that breakfast?

Throwing it away was a small impulsive revenge of Estrella Berrocal against Adán Rouco.

There Adán Rouco mocked: “You asked for it, I thought you were going to bring me a breakfast of love”.

“Who, who is going to send you a breakfast of love, I hang up.”

Estrella Berrocal was quick to hang up the phone.

Only when Olivia Montes was looking for a meeting with the original artist, Estrella Berrocal remembered that Yahwah contest.

She was looking forward to entering that Yahwa contest, not only because of the attractive cash prize, but also because it would help her become an original artist in the future, and she had to try.

However, now Olivia Montes has made it clear that she cannot run.

Are you really going to pray to Adán Rouco?

She would be embarrassed whether Adán Rouco helped her or not.

If she doesn’t, she’ll feel bad, and if she does, she’ll be snarky with Olivia Montes.

Estrella Berrocal is looking at her chin when her phone rings again.

The caller ID read: Jonathan Tasis.

She freezes for a few seconds, not waiting for Jonathan Tasis to call out to her.

Pick up…

“Miss Estrella, you are being too insensitive, that car was a meeting gift from me, and I know you know Adán Rouco well, but it hurts too much for you to use your $800. 000 to remit it to me.”

For some reason, she heard ambiguity in these words, but Jonathan Tasis was Perla Prats’ boyfriend and Perla Prats was her best friend, not to mention that she didn’t have the slightest feeling for Jonathan Tasis, and even if she did, there was no way she would have any dealings with this Jonathan Tasis behind Perla Prats’ back.

“Mr. Jonathan, does Perla know about the car you gave me?”

“So what if he knows, so what if he doesn’t?”.

Estrella Berrocal said coldly, “Mr. Jonathan, Perla likes you very much, if you really want to be her boyfriend, please love her.”

Jonathan Tasis chuckled softly, “Miss Star, you don’t think I’m interested in you, do you?”

Estrella Berrocal choked up, embarrassed by her comment, “I didn’t mean that, I just think that as Perla’s boyfriend, you shouldn’t give a car to another girl, especially if she’s her best friend. Even if Mr. Jonathan means nothing to me, if Perla finds out, she’ll get the wrong idea.”

Jonathan Tasis didn’t take it to heart, instead he started another conversation, “I hear you work for the Rouco family? Is it in art?”.

Estrella Berrocal had only met Jonathan Tasis a couple of times, but he had thoroughly investigated her.

This sense of transparency made Estrella Berrocal uncomfortable and her tone was unpleasant, “Mr. Jonathan, we don’t seem to know each other very well, so are you stepping out of line by prying into the life and privacy of someone you don’t really know?”

“You really hurt me with that, I heard it from Perla, she complimented you on your talent.”

“No, Mr. Jonathan, if nothing else, I have to work.”

“Miss Star, goodbye.”

…

Jonathan Tasis hung up the phone, curved his thin lips and instructed his assistant, “Our company recently had an animation collaboration with the Rouco family?”

“Yes, Mr. Jonathan.”

“I have heard that the part of the Rouco family wants an internal contest, tell them directly that an employee of the Rouco family named Estrella Berrocal must participate in this contest.”

“Okay Mr. Jonathan.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The assistant was a bit confused, this Estrella Berrocal should be a woman by name, could it be that Mr. Jonathan was in love with another girl?

…

Olivia Montes received a phone call after the meeting.

Olivia Montes then left the meeting room with a cold face as she repressed her temper: “Estar Berrocal, come to my office!”.

When she entered the office, Olivia Montes sat in a black swivel chair and stared at her, “What is your relationship with Yawar’s sister Jonathan?”

Mr. Jonathan from Yawar?

Estrella Berrocal was confused, “I don’t know him.”

“You don’t know him? Why have you been asked to participate in this contest if you don’t know him?”

Yawar, Mr. Jonathan?

Jonathan …?

Although the company’s market value is not comparable to that of the Rouco family, the latter is a comprehensive multinational conglomerate with many companies under the group, covering all kinds of industries, while Yahwa is specialized in film and television, so there are many film and television companies in the Northern City that are eager to cooperate with Yahua.

And this Mr. Jonathan, could he be Jonathan Tasis?

Estrella Berrocal frowned, “I don’t know why Yahwa appointed me to this contest.”

“Don’t you know? Estrella Berrocal, you’re very talented, you’re just a scruffy girl, and you’re climbing the ladder with Adam, Ricardo Prats, and now Mr. Jonathan from Yawar.”

“Olivia Montes, just because you’re my boss doesn’t mean you can insult me like that without any proof!”.

Olivia Montes scoffed and looked at her sarcastically with her arms in the air, “Proof? What proof do you need? How many times have you slept with that Mr. Jonathan from Avalon? Otherwise, he would have sent his assistant to call me to take care of you!”.

“I didn’t! A clean person is a clean person! Think what you want!”

Estrella Berrocal turned to leave the office when Olivia Montes, with a calculating glint in her eye, leaned back in her swivel chair and said, without a moment’s hesitation, “Haven’t you always wanted to enter this contest? Are you sure you want to pass up the opportunity now that it’s here?”

Estrella Berrocal clenched her fist: “I will enter this contest”.

“You better not let me down.”

…

To make sure that Mr. Jonathan of Yawar was really Jonathan Tasis, Estrella Berrocal sent a tweet to Perla Prats.

“Perla, last time I left in such a hurry that I didn’t get to ask you what that boyfriend of yours does for a living.”

Perla Prats: “In film and television, what’s going on?”.

Estrella Berrocal is speechless, it really is Jonathan Tasis himself!

But what does this Jonathan Tasis want?

But thanks to him, he has now been able to enter the contest with a straight face, and regardless of Jonathan Tasis’ intentions, he was surprised to have the opportunity to do so.
