The evening at the office seemed normal—quiet, cool, and Maria was busy with her work. But the wind changed when her boss suddenly approached, a smile on his face and a tray in his hand. “Maria,” he said, “it’s my birthday today… I have a gift for you—if you have something ready for me too.”
Maria laughed, thinking it was just a joke. “Ready? Oh, sir, I don’t have any cake!” she replied, a little nervous but also curious. But the boss was serious. She showed him the car keys, a thick wallet, and an offer: “Just one night, for me.”
Maria was surprised. The tone wasn't rude, it even seemed to be mixed with tenderness. “Sir, it sounds like a telenovela,” she joked. But in her mind, if she accepted it—it would be immediate payment for Mama's debt.
The boss smiled. “Car, help, a new start. But the decision is still yours.” Maria thought. True, she wasn’t sure how she felt. But sometimes, you have to take a chance—especially when your heart is involved.
And that night, not only a gift was born. It also created the story of a simple girl and a boss with a unique way of making people feel. A story of temptation? Yes. But it's more a story of change, of courage, and of laughing at things you never thought you would experience.
