Natalie's POV:

The circle was at every instant closing
more for me. The secrets were being
discovered and when I least expected
it would reach his ears. God, this
couldn't be happening, not now. He
was literally mine, I had gotten what I
always wanted since the start.
Michael's love.

I closed my eyes feeling a strange
sensation take over me. A mixture of
fear, nerves and uncertainty. What
would happen if he knew? If he
knew that it has always been me?
Michael would hate me, he would fire
me. What a stupid game you have you
gotten yourself into, Natalie! Everything that I had planned was starting to fall apart, and I couldn't do absolutely anything.

In this instant Lauren and Michael talked calmly in his office, subject that I would give anything to know. After
the ugly fight that they had, I believe
that they were on the right way to a
reconciliation in that friendship. I
needed time to process and try to fix
that whole situation, Lisa wouldn't go
easy on me, at any moment she could
tell everything to Michael and end me
once and for all.

What intrigued me was how she had
discovered. The few people that knew
about my secret were unquestionable
reliable. Where had I fucked up in all
this story? I tapped with my fingers
on the computer keyboard, typing a
message to Laura that didn't take long
to show up.

"Hey, Nat!" The woman spoke sitting
next to me. "What did that bitch told you?"

I looked into Laura's eyes and she
immediately understood.

"No, no, no..."

"Yes, Laura, Lisa discovered
everything." The woman widened her eyes, staying completely lost.

"Tell me that she didn't tell anything to Michael."

"She didn't, but it won't take too long.
She simply wants me to disappear from here."

"If you want I will make her disappear
with some good slaps in that bitch face that she has."
I smiled without the slightest humor.

"Well, I wouldn't mind that. Urge didn't lack me to hit that snake, but I can't."

"And why?

"If I did that, she would go to Michael's office and tell him everything."

"You are right. What are you going to
do?" She asked curiously.

"I don't know, Laura. I wanted to find
out how she knew."

"That really is a mystery. Do you think
she joined forces with Kellen?"

"Kellen doesn't know that my name is
Natalie Jones."

"Do you think that Candece could have.."

"God! Of course not, Laura! Candece
would never do that to me."

"I wouldn't trust so much, Natalie."
Laura spoke suspiciously.

"For what reason would she do that?"

"I don't know, I just think that you
shouldn't trust."

"We can't be suspicious of someone that has always helped me."
Laura laughed in an ironic way.

"Nat, she helped HERSELF. You
are the star of that place, without you
Candece would be nothing."

"She already had the club when she met me."

"And the club was bankrupt, don't you
remember?"

"Laura..." I scolded the woman, finding her idea absurd.
