Chapter 8.

Discretion.

Their parents left so they could talk and get to know each other a little better, she offered him a drink from those that were served on the table in front of them, and without looking up she brought it to him who watched her movements and could sense, from the way she tried to hide her trembling hands, that she was afraid.

Harrison told her to break the tension that was between them, that he didn't know that Leo had a daughter, apparently he kept you very well hidden for so many years, so she simply told him: yes, I was raised by my mother, which doesn't mean that he wasn't a present father if he wasn't present and absent, so Harrison told her: in this world that kind of known dealings are very normal, however, I want to know if you had any love interest before me, it was 27 years, something interesting must have happened in your life.

To which the girl biting her lip looked up and connecting their gazes said: that doesn't matter at this moment, what matters is that I will marry you, and then, taking a sip of whiskey he focused his gaze on the glass door that was on the other side of the room.

Someone seemed to be wanting to enter and at the same time not wanting to do so, so his voice filled the place saying for them to come in, she turned around to see what was happening.

And as she stood up from the chair he looked her up and down, for some reason he expected her to be taller, but the blonde had to be at least 1.78 and she reached 1.85 with the heels she was wearing.

Her blonde hair was loose and semi wavy, which gave it the illusion of falling in cascades, her eyebrows were thin and fine, she didn't have big breasts and it looked like she could practically pass for a teenager if she was dressed as they usually do with some ripped jeans, a sweatshirt or something similar.

It was then that the atmosphere between them was disturbed, one of the maids had wanted to come in especially to ask them if they wanted something to eat.

The girl was shy and didn't answer anything, while Harrison took the lead and told her to leave that if they needed anything they would let her know, so after the woman left, the girl didn't turn around to where he was, so he got up from the chair and walked over to where she was, standing behind her.

She closed her eyes for a second and simply slowly shook her head leaving the words: this will never work she let out in a whisper, which was audible to him, he immediately took her by the shoulders and turned her around and staring at her he brought her towards him so that from her lips the word: well, it's better that we be unhappy together.

That content revealed that both were really from very different worlds and the way they should get married was not right for both of them, so while he was tucking her hair behind her ear he commented: you have the same features that I saw in the video, although your face has lost a little, your childish features with round cheeks that highlight the youth of adolescence.

You are an incredibly beautiful woman compared to a monster like me and she with a trembling voice asked him: ¿Had you ever seen me in a video before? And he told her: Of course, I went to see you in a presentation with your father, you were a white swan on stage, you couldn't have been older than 15 and you had to weigh 45 kg.

You were beautiful in that presentation waiting for the petals to fall on the stage and at the end the public would shower you with bouquets, surprised she told him: It's ironic,  you knew who I was,

 while I had no idea who you were…
