"Vivian, I think I'm in love; at last, after so long, I found love, just at this moment when I have so many problems."
"Angelo, I'm glad; the best time to get love is now; it will never come later; do I know the lucky one? Is it me, master?"
"No, Vivian, you know that we are friends, that I am the boss, and you are my assistant, that we made the mistake of being overconfident because of loneliness and desire since you are a very beautiful woman and no man would resist your charms, but what happened is that we knew each other since we were little, and we were friends first; that we let ourselves be carried away by our impulses like sheep was something very different."
"That's what you suppose, and that doesn't mean it's true; if I hadn't felt something more than friendship for you, I wouldn't have gone into the seas of your sheets; now we are here alone, me like a fool waiting for you to tear my dress, and, on the other hand, you throw me that cruelty bomb."
"I never wanted to hurt you; for me, you are my best friend and more than that."
"Yes, of course, Angelo, more than a friend who couldn't even become a girlfriend, let alone a wife."
"They lived, and we both agreed that we would not complicate things. The truth is, I don't want to hurt you; I would like to make you happy, although I can't do it the way you want me to."
"Angelo, you never think about me, about my feelings, the truth is that you have hurt me these days, you don't know how I suffered, imagining how you made her suffer thousands of times; I don't even think that you went into the sea, because you didn't leave her room. The truth is, I cried silently. I locked myself in the bathroom, avoiding the guys' eyes. Being the boss, I have to look strong, and I am, but even an armadillo has a soft heart."
"I was supposed to celebrate with you this new sensation that I hope you will experience someday; I expected even a congratulation or a blessing, but instead, I find discouraging walls of spite and unreason."
"Angelo, well, I congratulate you. I hope you marry her, have many children, and live happily ever after, And I'll be eaten by a dog, fall in disgrace to a garbage dump, and die alone, choked by my pain."
"Don't be so dramatic, Vivian, let's remember our past with joy and treasure the changes to come; with your beauty, it won't be difficult for you to get your prince charming, you just have to open yourself to that possibility."
"Because I'm open to it; I'm at this crossroads. "
"Come on, don't play the victim; you are an empowered woman, and that's one of the things I like most about you."
"Well, Angelo, dear, you are not married yet anyway, we can continue as we are going; I will give you a very special bachelor party; and then we will see what happens if the water keeps running even when the river is channeled."
"Vivian, your imagination is flying at light speed, I want you to give me the report of my assignment."
"Of course, boss, well, we found the sewer where they were hiding, we found the clues in the computers we seized, it was a highly dangerous organization, and they had in their possession the license plates of Ximena's car, photos of her house, plus tracking videos and other things, they gave us a fight, it was a one-hour shootout, we had two casualties, but we exterminated them all, and we burned the place, erasing all evidence, I think her lover is out of danger."
"I think, or are you sure?"
"I'm sure on this side; I don't know about the other. Her family has a jewelry company, and they have an emerald mine concession in Maripi, that's another level of quarrels."
"Yes, of course, it is complicated, and I suppose that you have squared the issue of the fallen in combat."
"Of course, I was in charge of paying for all the funeral expenses and I sent economic compensation to the widows and relatives, most of them are from Italy, we should get people from here to simplify those procedures,"
"You know that it is complicated to get trustworthy people, there must be some here, it is just that it is difficult to find them, lest a policeman infiltrate us or one of our enemies, or worse, my ex-wife."
"Angelo, fortunately, you are very cute because you tell terrible jokes. By the way, your grandfather called and mentioned that your wife is looking for you to sign the divorce papers once and for all, I don't understand why you are dodging those papers, come on! Close that circle once and for all; you can't marry Ximena if you are in a marriage, that is bigamy, and in many countries, it is considered a crime; besides, Don Joseph is capable of hanging you by your little things."
"I swear, Vivian, it's a very complex matter, this is twisting my guts, I don't know what to do; sometimes I would like to run away without any direction."
"Now you are the victim, poor little Angelo; with so much money, power, and beauty, how you suffer."
"I assure you, Vivian, that many times I have wanted to leave this life, to disintegrate these networks, and the only thing that stops me is my grandfather Joseph with his nonsense about the family business created by his predecessors, that I shouldn't, that I would leave many people without work, but look what happened to those two guys, I have faith that one of these days I will dissolve this organization, or I will give it to someone else, to Luis or to you, and I will dedicate myself to what I like."
"Angelo, and surely you know what it is, you would be able to leave a life of luxury to be a teacher and a boxer, what a solid combination, you should take a course in psychology, to give and receive blows."
"I had asked for permission to be absent from my university classes for a few days, and I had even found a replacement; I'd better go, teaching classes calms me down, and sharing my knowledge helps me to overcome so many conscience charges that I carry on my shoulders' day by day."
"Don't pretend to be a martyr, cruel Angelo, you have never killed innocents, every mother's son that has gone through our bullets, is because they have deserved every ounce of lead; by the way, I would like to enroll in your classes, just to sit in front of you in this miniskirt until you notice that I am not wearing pantyhose, just like at this very moment."
"I'm worried; this city is very cold, and you might catch a cold or something; I'd better go to the university, goodbye."
