My heart stopped when I felt his eyes down on me, I could feel the disappointment, I smiled and shook his hand as if that was the first time we were meeting. For some reason, it was the first time, for other reasons he knew way much more about me than anyone.
I couldn't stop thinking about how he kissed me without even making sure I was Benji, questions in my head asking if he was interested in me or if he was interested into me being Benji Krol.
"Jorge Garay Krol, nice to meet you" - Lady Krunis kindly smiled to me, right before Sir Thomas called us for breakfast. My mother was already waiting in the lunch room, she smiled and introduced herself to our guests, I noticed Jeremiah had his eyes stuck on me, so I sat in front of him and I smiled.
I remembered perfectly how Blake asked me to behave, but somehow what Benji texted me made me think that our guest was not the nice guy he wanted us to believe. So I decided to act like the perfect Krol type, as Benji did with me, as Jeremiah expected me to be.
" So... You had a good night in the apartment?" - I said, drinking my juice, Lady Krunis was already busy into some business talk with my father, so I could give my attention to the boy.
"I didn't know the Krols were liars" - he said, looking down at his plate - " I didn't lie to you. You didn't give me the time to tell you I was not Benji" - "Still you could have stopped me, but you didn't"
I remembered how Benji used to treat me when I was only trying the good manners towards him, this boy was so similar to him, he was trying to have my reaction and if I learned something living in this family is that Krols never hold back.
"I guess I kinda liked it" - I said, smirking at him. He looked at me without answering, he took his phone and we lost the conversation.
"I can't wait to see your office, Jorge!" - Lady Krunis interrupted my thoughts and made me remember about the project that I've been working on for the whole night - " It will be my pleasure to host you! I might have some special proposals for you" - "Uh! You're really Blake's son!"
Two years ago I wouldn't have considered this as a compliment, but after all my hard work, I guess I deserved some payback.
As soon as we left the Villa I had the pleasure to introduce Lady Krunis to my teamwork and I showed her my office, she looked interested and surprised, after all our walls were the place where all our green projects came to life. This got her attention.
Luise and me exposed the project to the businesswoman, we took 2 hours, the fastest meeting we ever had. We didn't miss a point, my review on the project file was perfect, clear and detailed without losing too much words in useless things. Lady Krunis appreciated it, and I reached my goal so that it made me the happiest boy in Madrid.

"I think we should celebrate!" - Luise walked closer to me after fixing her hair in front of a wall mirror in my office - " We did a great job!"
