- Yes, I know about the details of the William case I muttered looking at the busy streets of cars.
 
Richard - So, you know we're going to support you, don't you? That was just a very strong blow that they set up for him and that he soon returns to active again. warned.
 
"But of course". The FBI only found very important notes and documents that prove that William DiLaurents, the most respected president of Argentina, diverts public funds to his accounts abroad.
 
Klaus - I know, yes, father. I switched hands to hold my cell phone.
 
Richard - Have you arrived in Lisbon? His tone was worried.
 
Klaus - I'm on my way to the hotel.
 
Richard - Christopher you need to make Magno and Augustus accept the marketing of the Greys, I don't know how you're going to do it, but I want my company to partner with them again, understand? said gruffly.
 
Klaus - I don't understand, father, because I'm going to make this partnership again, he said seriously and convinced.
 
Richard - I think it's really good Christopher, you're my eldest son and as such, you should look up to me. How was Peru, Italy, Colombia and Paris this week? he asked even more seriously.
 
Klaus - I managed to speak with all the important ministers of these countries and they all agreed, so Brayan will send the documents and notes of the meetings by Imail. warned.
 
Richard - Great and don't forget you still have to go to Japan, China, India, UAE and Africa. I checked your schedule with Brayan and found very little about these trips you're taking for work. snorted.
 
Klaus - Little? I haven't stopped working for a long time.
 
I'm months away from jet to jet, traveling all over the world. Being constantly pierced by mandatory travel vaccines. And he still says it's not enough. And to make matters worse, I have a terrible headache.
 
Richard - It's not much, you are a Uckemann and when I was in the presidency at the time I traveled a lot more than you.
 
Klaus - Alright dad. hung up.
 
My eyes burned too much as the headache got worse. I felt a strong fatigue and my breathing became labored. I leaned my arm on the window and leaned my head against it. What the hell is happening to me?
 
Taylor - Are you okay? my driver asked through the rearview mirror.
 
I took a deep breath.
 
Klaus - Yes!
 
Taylor - Are you sure? she insisted.
 
Klaus - I have!
 
He didn't say anything else until the hotel and I didn't say anything. Gradually I returned to normal and the headache eased. When we passed in front of the hotel, it was full of paparazzi, with journalists in front for the opening.
 
Klaus - Go to vip garage. I asked.
 
He did so, walked into the VIP garage and saw Brayan and my security guards waiting for me. One of them opened the door when the car parked, I grabbed my suitcase and got out of the car.
 
Brayan - Here's crazy. Journalists, businessmen and socialite are already here. - It was soon speaking as soon as I put my feet on the ground.
 
Klaus - The Gray brothers? I asked being surrounded and we walked to the presidential elevator.
 
I stood in the middle of the elevator next to Brayan, and my bodyguards surrounded him. One of them pressed the button to go up.
 
Brayan - They are finishing the commercial for presentation. Miss Mary is in her apartment sir. warned smiling.
 
I smiled, I missed her.

As soon as I entered my apartment I saw Mary messing with the vases of the main moment, she made several faces as she ran her finger across the property.
 
Klaus - Won't you even give me a hug? I threw my suitcase on the couch and opened my arms.
 
Mary - Boy... he grinned as he ran to hug me tight - How is my son?
 
Klaus - Going... I kissed the cheeks of my eternal nanny, my second mother.
 
Mary - I came for the grand opening of your newest dear hotel. released me
- He's very handsome... smile.
 
Sigh.
 
Klaus - I have to get ready, I just came from Florida, I had a very important meeting at the last minute and I came running to Portugal. I touch the back of my neck which is hurting.
 
Why is this just now?
 
Mary - I've already prepared your bath boy... he starts to unbutton my suit, but I stop him in the middle.
 
Mary - What son? question without understanding.
 
Klaus - Are you really going to undress me bad? raise the eyebrow.
 
Mary - Eh...sorry gets very red moving away from me - Sometimes I forget that he grew up, he is no longer my little five year old boy, but a man. smirked.
 
Klaus - You're right Bad, I grew up and a lot of things grew with me too. laugh in her face.
 
Mary - Boy Klaus. turned even redder - Go take your bath soon.
 
Klaus - I missed that authoritative voice, I warned moving away from the room.
 
Mary - Me too! I screamed.
 
Two hours later, I entered the elevator accompanied by Mary, Brayan, and security. This business is starting to piss me off, wherever I go they go after. Brayan fiddled with his tablet and Mary sighed beside me.
She looked very pretty in her long black one-tailed evening gown. She was very pretty. Mary Evans is in her forties, tall, red-haired, and my eternal second mother. She was really pretty and her youthful appearance was a hit.
My days in that old Uckermann house turned into a total mess, because I didn't accept her as my nanny, but Mary with her sweet way of being won me over and to this day she sees me as a five year old boy running to bed. her every time it rained and there was lightning.
The elevator doors opened revealing the hotel hall, we left being hit by flesh and reporters above, but the huge walls, security, made a barrier that prevented them from approaching.
The luxurious and most modern lobby of the hotel was full of businessmen, socialites, models, artists, very well dressed and elegant, laughing and stuffing their faces with champagne. A lively and quite agitated song served as a soundtrack for everyone. Waiters passed with trays full of sweets and unforgettable caviar.
 
[...]
 
It had been four hours since I entered the Hall. The Gray commercial had already been seen and approved by everyone, once again Magno and Augustus were annoyed because it didn't turn out as they wanted. Screw this! The company is mine and I'm in charge of it. As the company's audit voted yes, they couldn't do anything. The party continued, I chatted with important businessmen and flirted with half a dozen beautiful women in attendance.
When it came time for thanks, my heart sped up and my breath became short immediately.
Not again! I took a deep breath and climbed onto the small modern wooden stage. The Loud Sound had been turned off and a couple of hundred people were staring at me… My mouth went dry.
 
Klaus - Good night! I started and fleshes started to blind me right away - Thank you so much for...
 
My vision blurred.
 
Klaus - For each one...present. n... I got dizzy and almost fell over onto my side.
 
My heart sped up even more, my breathing became labored as if I had been running a marathon, my mouth was dry, I could see nothing but blur and loud voices, my chest burned and my heart gave a pang so, so hard it fell. kneeling on the floor with all black eyes and listening to screams.
 
The only thing I heard before everything went completely blank was Mary's loud and extremely distressed voice screaming in horror and... more screams from her.
 
The first thing I felt, before I even opened my eyes, was the weight of something very heavy on my body, as if it were an elephant and it was all over my chest, down to my legs, the feeling of nausea didn't leave me. stomach, I could feel my mouth dry and completely dry. The peep-peep noise was loud and muffled voices were also part of the place I was.
 
With a great effort and all out of the ordinary, I slowly manage to open my eyes and the only thing I see is a blur that gradually intensifies by itself making me finally see with complete clarity.
 
The room was light blue, in the window a sofa bed, beside a wooden table with a vase of flowers on top, a white door next to the table. The bed I was in was one of the most comfortable hospital beds, next to me, two armchairs on either side.
 
The TV hung facing the bed, I was lying there, wearing a boring white hospital gown that looked like a dress. In my arms were full of needles and wires connected directly with IV and some device.
 
In my chest I could feel more wires around it, and some even made a slight shock. The double wooden doors open in the corner of the room and Mary enters the silent room, in her hands is a bag, which she leaves on the table and when she turns to me, see me looking at her. Her long red hair is tied back, the corners of her eyes are sunken in dark circles, rather.
 
Mary - Boy... whispers approaching me and touching my hand - How do you feel?
 
Klaus - Mole. he whispered back, barely able to speak.
 
Mary - My love... kiss my head - I'm going to call the doctor! she says walking away and heading for the door she entered the room.
 
Klaus - Wait! I asked a little higher.
 
She comes back to me and holds my hand again and when I feel her touch I take a deep breath.
 
Klaus - What happened to me?
 
Mary - My dear you had an acute stress disorder. sighed
- This resulted in you, because you are extremely overworked, physically and mentally.
 
Klaus - How so?
 
Mary - What's the last thing you remember?
 
I make an effort and remember little.
 
Klaus - From arriving at the hotel lobby and being hit by the media, the commercial launch and... I think a little more
- And me saying something to those people and after that, I don't remember anything else.
 
Mary - You passed out in front of everyone in the middle of your thank-you speech. It was crazy and we got you to the hospital as quickly as possible. They did all sorts of tests on you and found out what you have, that is, what caused the fainting. he touched my hair with affection - Son, you need to take care of yourself, because if this is not treated urgently... he swallowed hard - It can lead to death.
 
My eyes widened... At that moment the double wooden doors opened and a tall man in a lab coat and a clipboard in his hands entered.
She was about Mary's age, crown, dark blue eyes and gray hair just the way my nanny likes it. I know this because as soon as he walked into the room, she was embarrassed.
 
Doctor - How is Mr.Uckermann? he asked all serious but at the same time sympathetic.
 
Klaus - Mole. I answer low.
 
Doctor - Excellent! smile broadly jotting something down on clipboard in hands.
 
Great? I can't understand it, because deep down I can't feel excellent.
 
Mary - Doctor Please explain to him what should be done from now on. get away from me and get the bag
- I'll leave this bag with Taylor and be right back. she blew kisses to me and left the room leaving us alone.
 
Doctor - Mr. Uckermann, my name is Brad Kavanagh and I'm your doctor, the one who saw you - left the clipboard on top of the armchair and fiddled with the equipment next to me - You had a serious crisis of acute stress disorder, due to lack of rest, both physically and mentally, and this condition can get worse if it is not treated soon. stared at me
- The lady who was here, Mary Evans, explained to me what you've been doing. shook his head
- And I must say that this doesn't surprise me, you're not the first case I've caught with this kind of problem.
 
Klaus - How so? I frowned.
 
Doctor Brad - Very young businessmen or tycoons like you always end up having this, they leave their professional life taking their own personal life, having unusual meetings and unlimited travel. shook his head
- And that makes the person weak, stressed, tired and dehydrated - he glared at me - Besides, you haven't been eating, which made the case even more serious.
 
So hence the serum.
 
Doctor Brad: The symptoms that you were certainly feeling were the signs of acute stress and the fainting was due to lack of hydration.
 
Klaus - And how do I recover as quickly as possible? I need to go to Thailand I have a very important meeting...
 
Doctor Brad - That's what I'm talking about. snorted
- You can't work at this pace anymore, Mrs. Evans informed me that she's been working and working for two years, do you realize that, my boy? If you work at this rate again, you'll end up dying. warned
 
I sighed. And now? What am I going to do? The company cannot wait, my father cannot wait. What the hell! Money, first of all. That was my family's motto, money before anything else.
 
Klaus - How do I heal?
 
Doctor Brad picks up the clipboard again and walks around the room, noting something focused on it.
 
Doctor Brad: What you need is to relax, you need to be mentally well, that is, you need a vacation. A few months of vacation, away from meetings, long and super tiring trips, would help a lot and end it quickly.
 
Klaus - And could I go back to work? I Tried.
 
Doctor Brad - Not while you have report thoughts in your head. muttered - Want a doctor's tip?
 
I shrugged.
 
Klaus - Why not!
 
Brad glared at me.
 
Doctor Brad - Go on vacation, travel alone to a beautiful place, relax, have fun, think only of yourself, do crazy things you've never done before, kiss a lot on the mouth, date a lot and enjoy your youth. You are still very young my boy, enjoy it and only then will you be fully healed and with several stories to tell when you are my age.
 
I thank the doctor and after he leaves I lie in bed reflecting on his words and I start to think that his idea is very good, since again I was forced to dedicate myself to this company, my life has always been shaped by third parties since mine birth and then why don't I take this moment to really get to know myself and enjoy my life. With that thought I close my eyes and fall asleep. I watched him leave a paper at the foot of the bed, on a clipboard stuck to it, and leave the room.
 
I took a deep breath. Will it be?
