    Tricked in a Marriage with the Ruthless CEO

    Chapter 1

    In office number 66 of Lennox Companys, the handsome 31-year-old man reviews his papers with the seriousness of a cold and calculating king.

    Draco Lennox was there reviewing everything as always, meticulous and a perfectionist.

    His assistant Milan entered the place a little pale and bewildered, this situation he did not see coming.

    Draco looked up to look at him, waiting for him to say something, although his assistant seemed to be mute.

    Speak, he said seriously.

    Sir, it's... it's Miss Victoria Levin, the younger sister of... your ex-girlfriend, Milan said, trying not to stammer.

    Victoria is the younger sister of Draco's ex-fiancee, Virginia Levin, 5 years ago they had been in love for several years, but on the day of the wedding, Virginia Levin, Victoria's older sister, ran off with her gym trainer, she left him standing at the altar, therefore, the powerful man left the Levin family in ruins, also because Virginia's parents knew, and said nothing about it, however, Victoria in those times lived abroad with her maternal grandmother, she studied there, since Since she was 12 years old, her relationship with Carolina, her mother, was the worst, she did not want to be a cake doll like her older sister with whom they had a 12-year difference, Victoria was always of an autonomous character, she had her own conjectures about herself, and being an obedient and submissive woman was not her thing, although she is very shy and of a soft character, she is stubborn and stubborn, that led to a terrible war at home, so much so that Mirko, her father, decided to send Victoria with her mother-in-law, his wife was going so far as to hit her trying to subdue her rebellious daughter, that could not continue like this.

    Draco, had seen little Victoria a few times, by the time he started dating her sister, Victoria was exactly 11 years old, when they were to be married, Victoria was 15 years old, but that day they barely saw each other, Victoria was taken out of the country immediately by her father, he knew what was coming and so it was, they went bankrupt and went to another country to try to survive, despite Carolina's objections, Mirko did not want to go to his mother-in-law's house, he did not want to smear Susana, his wife's mother, with this and it was more for Victoria, she was fine there, she had everything, although not in abundance, at least she had stability.

    Now Draco is more than surprised by the visit, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion and he assumed that she would want money or some compensation for what had happened, however, something in him made him accept the situation.

    Tell her to come in, he said in his thick, almost guttural voice, startling his assistant.

    Yes sir, right away, he said, a little scared of what was going to happen to that poor young lady.

    Draco continued looking at his papers, until he heard a soft but warm voice.

    Hello brother-in-law, it's nice to see you, after all this time, she said, making Draco's hair stand on end, and when he was about to complain about being called that, he looked up and what he saw left him speechless.

    There was in the middle of his office a beautiful young woman with dark hair like night, beautiful eyes between gold and green that stand out on her beautiful white skin like snow.

    Who is this damn doll? thought Draco without being able to know what was going on, was that Virginia's little sister?

    Draco, I'm Victoria, Virginia's sister, I know you don't want to see my family because of what happened, but I need a favor, I'd just like you to hear me please, she said politely and calmly, though she looked a little uncomfortable with the situation.

    Well, just call me Draco, I'm not and I won't be your brother-in-law anymore, now tell me, what's going on? said the man in annoyance, but his eyes couldn't stop looking at the beauty in front of him, there was nothing left of the scruffy, loud little girl he met many years ago.

    We... well, I've been studying here for two years, but I'm just a scholarship student, and I've had problems with some students and professors, you know it's good to have a guardian, a backup so they don't eliminate him, well, I need you to help me with that, I wanted to know if you can talk to the principal and tell him that you are my backup, I have good grades, but there is a student who does everything to make me lose my scholarship, she has even gotten one of my teachers to lower my exam grades, but although I have complained, nobody helps me, in short, I am the poor girl of the university, Victoria said, looking at him anxiously.

    Draco, on the other hand, is surprised, it was not money that she wanted, she only asks that he help her with her problem at the university.

    Chapter 2

    Chapter 2. Tell me, why should I help you?

    Draco shifted, a feeling of foreboding washing over him. Although he wanted to refuse, his own will seemed to betray him, and he heard himself ask,

    Tell me, why should I help you? His voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

    Vicky, as her friends called her, blinked several times. She hadn't quite considered that question when she sought him out.

    I… I haven't thought about it. It would be an act of charity for a scholarship student. I'm at the top of my class, I study hard, I'm very dedicated, and I really need this help. I only have one year left. I'll work for you, for half the salary for a year. Please, I can't afford this university without my scholarship. If they take it away from me, I won't be able to finish my studies, she said, her gaze filled with sadness. She knew that this man hated her family, but having left that town as a child, she didn't know anyone else as powerful in that place as Draco Lennox.

    Draco's gaze pierced through her, making her even more nervous. Something told him this was a bad idea.

    Do you have a boyfriend, Victoria? the man asked, picking up his papers again.

    Huh? No, I don't. I don't have time for that. Besides, I have a part-time job at a coffee shop to pay my rent. I can't waste time on that, she said, almost whispering in embarrassment. She had been left alone with her grandmother, and although they weren't poor, they couldn't afford tuition at good universities. So Victoria worked hard to get scholarships to the best ones, hoping to secure a good job in the future.

    The man's eyes glinted inexplicably, but she didn't see it as he continued to look at his papers.

    Well, I'll talk to the dean. Come back tomorrow at this time and tell me how things are going. My assistant will save my number in your cell phone, and you can give me yours. You can go now, he said dryly and with disinterest.

    Vicky walked out a little bewildered. She didn't understand anything, but if he helped her, she would be happy. Although she didn't see him as eager to do so, at least she had tried.

    As she left, Draco called Milan. He had a task for him.

    First, get me all the information you can on her. And when you have everything, I want you to tell Dean Leroy of the university that I want to meet with him. Let's see what's going on.

    *

    At the university, Milenka Hannah, a girl from a wealthy family, harbored a deep hatred for Vicky. From the moment she saw her at the university, she had despised her. Vicky's simple clothing and lack of money put her in a bad mood, but what she hated most was that Luis Melis, the most handsome boy in the university, was head over heels in love with Victoria, who wouldn't give him the time of day. He spoke to her confidently, and she was nothing more than a friend, but to Milenka, the scholarship student was a flirt who was only looking for a rich man to elevate her status. She was just playing hard to get to see who would pay more for her.

    In the dean's office, she and a professor were voicing their complaints against Victoria Levin.

    Dean, that young woman's grades have dropped. She's getting bad marks and doesn't deserve such an important scholarship, said the man, looking at the dean with pride. The dean simply scratched his head.

    Dean, those of us who come from good families and pay our tuition are the ones who fund these scholarships. That girl is a fraud. There are even rumors that she cheats, that she gets the exams in advance through immoral methods, Milenka said with pure hatred.

    The middle-aged man sighed. If things continued like this, he would have to take away that girl's scholarship. Although she was an excellent student, she was causing him a lot of problems.

    Well, I'll see what happens. We'll withdraw Victoria Levin's scholarship at tomorrow's board meeting, the frustrated man said.

    As they left, the dean could only shake his head. He had known that young woman's grandmother for years, and he was happy that the girl was studying there, especially on her own merit. But it seemed that powerful people wanted to destroy her, not only because of her intelligence but also because of her beauty.

    *

    A few hours later, Milan entered his boss's office. He had to give him the report on young Victoria, although he found it strange that Draco was interested in this matter, especially in that family.

    Sir, here's what I've found on Miss Victoria. It's all very straightforward, Milan said, watching as his boss looked up from his papers and took the folder with the information.

    Indeed, Victoria's grades had dropped in one subject, although she had requested a review of her exams by the faculty council, which had been denied. What caught his attention the most was the name Milenka Hannah. She was the daughter of a nouveau riche family; her father had harassed him some time ago with business proposals and an arranged marriage with economic benefits, the only beneficiary being Mr. Hannah. So Draco had sent him packing.

    Chapter 3

    There were also two more families against Victoria and her scholarship, one of them was the athletic leader Luis Melis's family. The young man was interested in her, and his family did not like that; Victoria was too insignificant for their beloved heir.

    Well, interesting, he said, moving on to the report on his work and his department. Victoria worked for dreadful pay and paid for a precarious little room in front of the university. Six months ago, she had been kicked out of her dorm due to an internal accusation. The pressure was terrible; the girl had been accused of taking men to her bedroom for money in exchange for sex. Photos were taken of men entering and leaving her bedroom, but the report in defense of the accused was that she was not in the country. She had gone to visit her grandmother abroad, but no one stood up for her but the dean, and she was only asked to leave and only then keep her scholarship.

    An explicable light came out of Draco's eyes; the man was really upset about the situation.

    Milan, tell the dean to come; I want to talk to him seriously, Draco said as he returned to his laptop and typed a mile a minute. He had a lot of work; he would take care of Victoria Levin later.

    Yes, sir; he confirmed for within an hour, said Milan, looking at his boss without understanding what was going on. He just hoped that the girl wouldn't pay for the mistakes of others. As a connoisseur of other people's intentions, he could see that the girl was a sun; if she were any better, they would put wings on her.

    While he was writing, it caught his attention that Victoria was barely 20 years old and had only one year of college left. He had heard from Virginia that her little sister was very intelligent and had skipped grades in school because of her prodigious mind. But now that he remembered it, there was always a hint of envy when she spoke of little Victoria.

    While he was working and his mind was between his work and Victoria, who is 12 years his junior, his cell phone rang insistently. When he saw the number, his eyes turned as cold as ice.

    Mother, what's going on? he answered bored, leaving the person on the other end of the line speechless.

    Draco, don't talk to me like that. You were supposed to be home half an hour ago; Janet has been waiting for you for a long time; you said you would come, said Mabel, his mother, who is looking for a wife for her son. Since that experience from that time, her son has not been seen with any women; she hates Virginia for it. She hates her so much that she would like to murder her and her whole family.

    I didn't say I was going; you said you wanted me to go; I didn't say yes, he said calmly. Draco is a man of few words, and his reserved and cold character had worsened after that incident. It's not that he was in love with Virginia, but rather it was a relief. What he couldn't bear was the scandal and losing face publicly.

    Draco, stop thinking about that damn woman; you have to come. We're talking to the Belmontes about a family commitment; you're 31 years old; I want grandchildren, Mabel said annoyedly while Draco had put the phone on speaker and continued typing on his computer.

    The woman had heard the typing without getting an answer and wanted to skin him alive until she heard him speak.

    I'm not interested. I don't have time. I have to work, Mother. We'll talk later, Draco said, hanging up as his mother nearly threw the cell phone on the floor. That son of hers was so rebellious, first he wants to marry that young woman who, although she was from a good family, she always thought she was below his status, and now it turns out that he doesn't want any of her candidates.

    *

    Meanwhile, Vicky returns to college and is intercepted by her friend, a young economics student who is not very remarkable but who manages to pay for college with great effort.

    Vicky, did you manage to get a backup? That witch Milenka has been meeting with the dean; I think she wants to kick you out for good this time. It doesn't matter how many times you tell her you have no relationship with Luis, she keeps accusing you of being a climber, I hate her so much... said Emily, her dearest friend. Vicky smiled bitterly, only hoping Draco would help her. If he didn't, she was lost.

    Emily, don't worry. Rather, let's get to class; I don't want to stay longer than I have to. We have to go to work, said Victoria as she sighed. She had to pay her rent, since she would have nowhere to live. Emily had taken her in for a while, but she saw how her parents worked; she couldn't be a freeloader for long.

    *

    After class, Emily runs off to her job. A fat, greasy man is her boss, and he has been harassing the beautiful girls all the time, and the situation was already the worst.

    That night, Victoria and Emily were leaving the place, just waiting for their pay; they received their biweekly pay, and for Victoria, that was her rent. The landlady was a kind woman, but not stupid; she was waiting for her but also pressuring her.

    The fat man asked Victoria to come over, however, when he saw her, he put a perverted smile on his ugly face, while Victoria looked at him impassively.

    Vicky, honey, they tell me you're having trouble at university; you should come to me so I can help you. I could pay for your university. You know, I can give you a beautiful apartment, a car to go to your studies, you should just be less proud, I'll treat you well, you won't want to get out of my bed if you try me, he said as he tried to get closer to her.

    I've come for my pay; I have to go; it's getting late. And if you come any closer, I want to tell you that I'm recording everything, and it's live on my friend's cell phone, so don't you dare touch me, Mother, Victoria said, looking at him coldly. She was very scared, but she couldn't show it.

    The man clenched his fists in annoyance, took out an envelope, and threw it in Victoria's face. He was very angry. Victoria left there scared but happy with her salary until Emily approached her with a panicked face, looking her up and down.

    Vicky, you didn't link me; I was scared to death; I was afraid that creep would do something to you, Emily said, pale with fear.

    Victoria raised her eyebrows and then frowned, remembering that before entering she had hurriedly posted the link, but when she looked at her cell phone, it was broadcasting to none other than Draco Lennox, who had heard everything.

    Shit, Victoria yelled, immediately cutting it off. She had made a mistake, and a slip of the finger made her turn as red as a tomato.

    Chapter 4

    That night, Victoria couldn't sleep. She didn't know how her finger had ended up somewhere else. She assumed it was because of being alone with that man. But now, how could she face Draco? The man was so cold and looked at her as if she didn't exist. She felt like a virtual being in front of him.

    While she was racking her brains, she fell into the arms of Morpheus and woke up the next day, but still with a moral hangover from her blunder.

    Victoria went to the university. She had to turn in some assignments and was very happy to have finished them over the weekend. She was very methodical.

    Emily saw her arrive and ran towards her excitedly. On campus, everyone was talking about the big board meeting, and she was excited. She knows that the rector seemed to like her friend and was sure he would defend her.

    Vicky, they're in the middle of a meeting. That damn Milenka is in there. I'm sure she's trying to get you expelled. I don't understand how she's the president of the faculty's internal center. Money really does move mountains, Emily said with a frown. She was sure that viper wanted to hurt her dear friend, and all because of...

    While they were talking, a handsome blond man with blue eyes approached with a big smile. Luis Melis greeted Victoria enthusiastically. Since he had seen her, he thought she was a beautiful girl, and she wasn't like the other girls. She had her feet on the ground and was truly outstanding in every way.

    Hi Vicky, I wanted to know if you wanted to study for the exam this Friday, he said with a smile while Emily rolled her eyes. He was the worst nightmare for her friend.

    Luis, I'm so sorry, but I can't. I really have to work. I'll study at home, she said while the young man laughed.

    Vicky, don't worry. You can stay at my apartment while we study. I won't bite you. Besides, I already told you that if you need help I can help you. You don't have to work at that lousy restaurant, he said confidently. He had already offered all kinds of help to that doll, but still, she didn't help him at all.

    Emily got annoyed by the conversation. She didn't like that boy at all.

    Luis, please stay away from my friend. It's your fault she's in trouble. That crazy Milenka hates her because you're drooling over Victoria. Just go away, Emily said as she looked at Luis reproachfully.

    Emily, I don't know why you hate me. Milenka and I were dating a long time ago, before Vicky arrived we had already broken up. I don't understand this obsession, although I've already told her several times she doesn't listen to me. I've asked her to leave my Vicky alone, but she's crazy, said the young man shrugging his shoulders, not knowing what else to say about it. But Emily wouldn't leave the subject alone.

    Luis, don't be shameless. You were seen leaving a hotel with Milenka a week ago. That's why she's still obsessed with you. You're giving her hope. That's why my friend has never looked at you, said the little girl, annoyed by the situation. Victoria is about to lose her scholarship because of that horny fool.

    Luis turned pale. Sometimes he thought Emily worked for the FBI. She always caught him at something. But the truth was that Emily had a police officer cousin whom she sometimes accompanied, and she had seen him leaving hotels with Milenka and other women. However, that wretch was playing the saint with her friend.

    Emily, don't be so harsh. You really don't know how hard it is for me to get rid of her. And we didn't do anything. She threatened to kill herself if I wasn't with her in that place. I've already talked to her parents about her attitude. Luis looked at Victoria to justify himself.

    Vicky, sweetheart, it’s not what you think. I really don’t have any relationship with Milenka anymore. Maybe she’ll come to her senses if you give me a chance. Just don’t believe those rumors, Luis said with a sad look. But Victoria stared at him intently, not believing a word he said. She could sense what that guy wanted, and he wanted it all. He wanted to date her, but whenever he felt like it, he’d mess around with Milenka or one of his ex-girlfriends.

    Luis, just stay away. I don’t want any more trouble with your girlfriend. I’m really in deep trouble because of that girl.Vicky said coldly, no longer tolerating this situation.

    Vicky, sweetheart, Milenka isn’t my girlfriend. The one I want is… But before he could finish, a voice interrupted them.

    Miss Victoria Levin, you are being asked to attend the board meeting. Please come with me, said the rector's secretary, who had been looking for her for quite some time.

    Victoria turned pale. She really felt like she was in trouble. Draco came to mind. He surely didn't want to get involved with her and her multiple problems. She understood. Anyway, her sister had embarrassed him tremendously, not to mention the cost of the drop in shares every time those powerful families have media problems.

    With a long sigh, Victoria headed for the rector's office, ignoring Luis, who was shaking his head in anguish. He really liked Victoria, but as long as she didn't accept him, he didn't want to leave his life as the most handsome athlete in college.

    When Victoria was at the door, she took a deep breath. She had to be brave and face whatever was going to happen. She had no choice. Then...

    Miss Victoria, please have a seat. I was just telling the university board about the projects you have been collaborating on at my company, said the tall, handsome man.

    There were long faces, other faces of admiration, jealousy, fury, among others, but there was one face of joy, which was the rector's. He couldn't believe that Draco Lennox himself was there advocating for the helpless Victoria Levin.

    Milenka was about to faint with rage. The teacher who had been failing her on purpose was scared. He didn't know what he was going to do. But the rest were happy that one of their students had Lennox as a sponsor. It was already a gain in prestige and power.

    Chapter 5

    Victoria watched as Draco's gaze faded, feeling like she was about to faint. She never imagined she would see him in person.

    President Lennox, g-good morning, the girl stammered, blinking, still not believing what her eyes were seeing.

    Draco simply gestured to the seat beside him to end the subject definitively. The Rector had already clarified several doubts, so it was time to make things clear.

    Well, Victoria, just so you know the context of the situation, Miss Milenka Hannah here says that you can't have a scholarship at this university, much less with an inadequate moral life. However, I'm sure Miss Hannah is being very harsh with you. Furthermore, I have asked the review committee to review the exams with failing grades. It can't be the only subject you're failing. Professor Martin has committed to providing all your exams. Also, I don't want to hear the nonsense about Victoria's morality again, it's in bad taste. You have students who have sex marathons in all the expensive hotels in the city and I don't see them being pointed at. This last part he said staring at Milenka who turned as red as a tomato. A couple of years ago, she had dreamed of marrying this man; however, it hadn’t worked out.

    Now that things are clear, I'll take my leave. As you know, I'm a busy man, he said, adjusting his jacket elegantly as Victoria stared at him like a deer caught in headlights. She didn't understand anything; it seemed that not only did she have a powerful godfather, but he was also like a hero.

    Victoria, stop by my office this afternoon, he said, adjusting the cuffs of his expensive, tailored suit that fit him like a glove.

    Victoria only nodded silently as everyone respectfully said goodbye, escorting him in a motorcade to the exit. Along the way, the female teaching staff, the female students, and others watched him pass by, drooling. He was an imposing and very attractive man. If he didn’t have the serial killer reputation, more than one would have jumped on him right there. Meanwhile, Victoria was still in shock in the meeting room. Something told her that she now owed this man a debt more impressive than a million dollars.

    Outside, Emily saw the handsome Draco Lennox come out and almost had a heart attack. She couldn't believe she was seeing him live and in person! Although she already had someone in her heart, a little look wouldn't kill anyone. It's not like she was undressing him with her eyes.

    Luis saw the handsome man and approached to greet him. Although he knew he was a man of little patience, he had to do it out of courtesy.

    Uncle Lennox, I didn't know you were coming. What are you doing around here? said the young man, extending his hand.

    Lennox looked at him menacingly. That brat was getting himself into trouble with gambling and nonsense, and his older sister wasn't able to discipline him.

    Come on, Luisito, it surprises me that you come to university when my sister pays so much money for you to pass your subjects. Anyone would say you come to study, Draco said with a frown.

    The blond young man turned as white as a sheet, especially since several of his classmates were nearby listening to the truth of the matter.

    Un...Uncle, don't say those things, my friends are going to think I'm not a good student, he said, scratching his nose as Draco raised an eyebrow.

    And are you? he said mockingly as the young man took the opportunity to run away. His uncle was truly heartless; he knew he could reveal more than one big secret about him.

    Dear Uncle, I have classes right now, it was nice to see you, see you later, he said, leaving the place like a bat out of hell.

    Milan approached Draco and showed him several of Victoria's exams, which were outstanding, yet the grades reflected the opposite.

    Investigate this teacher and make it clear to him that I'm not going to let this go, the man said as Milan nodded and walked behind him in silence. It was very strange for him as an assistant to see his boss be so kind to someone, besides taking the time to go personally to threaten in a cordial way.

    As they were leaving, Milan asked for their destination. Even though it should be the office, he was sure they would be going somewhere else. It had been like this ever since he had seen the beautiful Victoria.

    Milan, take me to that restaurant where Victoria works, I want to have a deep talk with that boss that this silly girl has, he said with a sinister look, and Milan at that moment felt sorry for the man. When Draco said that man, it meant dead man.

    _

    Meanwhile, at the university, the board meeting came to an end and everyone smiled politely at Victoria, who didn't understand when she became the favorite friend of the university. It seemed that contacts were important after all.

    Victoria left the place and was intercepted by Milenka who was furious. She couldn't believe that insignificant woman had gotten the support of Draco Lennox. That man was a demon and didn't sympathize with anyone.

    Victoria, I always knew you were a slut. Look at you getting into bed with Lennox just so you can get expelled. You're really something indescribable, the young woman said furiously.

    Milenka, get out of my way, don't bother me, Victoria said, looking at her fixedly. She was tired of that hateful girl who had never done anything to her.

    HA, now you're acting brave, who would have thought that a wolf in sheep's clothing would make you so talkative? Milenka said, not expecting Victoria to react badly.

    Victoria grabbed her hair in a swift movement and dragged her to one of the restrooms. She was really out of control, she couldn't let herself be insulted all the time.

    Milenka, who was screaming and struggling, was just about to cry out for help when she felt her mouth and eyes fill with water. But after a few minutes, she felt the taste and smell of urine, making it clear to her that her head had been submerged in one of the toilets in the place.

    Chapter 6

    Victoria left the bathroom furious, she is tired of hearing people call her a slut when she had never even had a boyfriend, how could they say that if she didn't even have time to fall in love?

    As she walked, Emily caught up to her, seeing how upset she was, she was afraid that they had taken away her scholarship, that would be very unfair.

    Vicky, how did it go, are you okay? she said as she looked at her anxiously.

    Emi, yes, everything went well, but I can't stand that Milenka anymore, I can't stand this situation anymore, I had to ask my sister's ex-fiance to help me, he hates us, however, he has helped me, I'm sure he's going to charge me high interest, just because of that crazy woman's envy, now I hope she calms down or they really will expel me for attempted murder, she said furiously.

    Emily was startled, she had never seen her so upset, however, she understood her, so she decided to take her to eat something, that stubborn woman gets stubborn when she is upset.

    As they were walking towards the dining room, someone Victoria didn't want to see approached and the worst thing was the stupid thing he said.

    Vicky, I talked to the directors and they told me that they won't take away your scholarship, I'm glad, although I had to talk to some relatives to convince them before, it was a surprise Luis did not miss the opportunity to look like a hero in front of her, what he did not know is that Victoria was her own heroine, it was she who looked for someone to support her and it was she who now has a debt with the devil himself.

    Luis, shut up, I don't want to listen to you, you didn't do anything, don't lie, and I'm warning you, stop bothering me, your mere presence is just trouble for me, I don't want you to come near me, I don't want to be your friend, go with Milenka and tell her I don't want anything to do with you and leave me alone, if it weren't for the two of you I wouldn't have so many problems, enough of this she said annoyed as she continued on her way very angry.

    Emily follows her excitedly, she is so happy that her friend is setting the record straight, sometimes being too cordial doesn't work.

    That afternoon Victoria arrived at the Lennox company, she had promised to go, although she knows that she will have to pay favors, maybe a lifetime employment contract as a sentence of slavery.

    Victoria arrived at the reception desk and immediately introduced herself to the receptionist, it was the second time she had seen her, although the first time she let her pass because she thought she was an intern who was there to start her internship, she realized she had made a mistake.

    Oh, it's you, last time you caused me trouble, you better leave or I'll call security to get you out, she said annoyed while Victoria swallowed hard, she knew she had taken advantage of the situation, but now she does have an appointment.

    Yes, I'm sorry, but now I do have an appointment, really, you can ask Milan, the assistant, she said a little anxiously.

    Nonsense, get out of here, don't show your face here, I'm tired of girls, looking for fortune like you who come just to see if a wealthy executive looks at them, but they only end up being insignificant lovers the woman yelled at her while Victoria took a few steps back, she doesn't know what to do, although she is bothered by what she said, she knows that she is not trustworthy to that woman.

    I..., I do have an appointment she whispered a little ashamed, people began to stare and the curious were approaching.

    The woman was furious and called security to get her out, Victoria was so lost that she only saw those big men approaching, one of them grabbed her roughly by the arm making her scream in pain, his grip was strong and without compassion, but when he was dragging her to the exit, an authoritative and deep voice stopped him in his tracks.

    What the hell do you think you're doing? Draco said, annoyed as a demon.

    The guard turned around and loosened his grip, Victoria immediately released herself, her arm hurt a lot, a few treacherous tears welled up and escaped at the situation.

    Draco, who had seen her with that pained expression and tears streaming down her face, had become even more furious.

    Who gave you permission to treat her like that? Should you inflict so much pain on such a small and weak girl? Is she a threat? he said furiously as he looked at the security guard who was petrified and pale.

    Draco approached the young woman as he looked at her carefully.

    Vicky, are you okay? he said taking her chin so she could look at him, when she looked up she looked offended and embarrassed by the situation.

    Yes, thank you, it was just a misunderstanding she said with a broken voice, she didn't want to cry, but she felt very sorry, she was being taken out of there like a piece of garbage.

    Draco gritted his teeth and turned to the guard, who reacted, realizing that he would be fired if he didn't say what was going on.

    President Lennox, the receptionist, said there was an aggressive person who was offending her and we should get her out, that's why I used more force, he said nervously as Draco turned to look at the woman who was there trying to understand the situation.

    Did she assault you? he said, pointing to Victoria, he had realized that the girl is very polite and even naive, quite naive.

    The woman swallowed hard as she looked at Victoria, at that moment she realized that the young woman had not lied, that she did have an appointment with the big boss and was in serious trouble.

    Pre..., President Lennox, yesterday she, she lied to me to get in, I received a reprimand because of her, now she came to say that she had an appointment, I didn't believe her and that's why I called security, the woman said meekly, there was nothing left of the arrogant woman from a while ago.
