voice.
    “Okay, I will keep Bella y Ricky away from tu office. I will tell them you will introduce tu novia to us after the meeting,” said Tony very displeased. “I don’t know why you’re being so secretive. You have never kept any secrets from us before. You have been acting very strange lately.”
    Jose Enrique turns to look at him with a smile. He then walks away toward his office as soon as the elevator doors open waving at his primo.
    Jose Enrique starts whistling as he enters his office. He turns around to close the door y puts his briefcase on the floor near his desk.
    Great, nobody is waiting for me. Maybe I can get a little more information from Paty before the first meeting starts thought Jose Enrique. He picks up the phone to call Paty. Wow, just before he starts to dial, Paty runs into his office all excited and flushed. She looks like she is in a hurry. She closes and locks the door as soon as she enters the office. Paty always gets flush cheeks when she’s excited. I wonder what she is up to now . Jose Enrique laughs shaking his cabeza.
    “Paty I was going to call you. What’s up? Why are you running and locking mi door?” asks Jose Enrique, laughing at her.
    “Bella just called me. She said that she will be here in a few y wants some answers,” whispers Paty. “I don’t want her to find me, y you know what she wants to know.” Paty turns to look at her hermano with huge light brown ojos. “Oh hermano you look so guapo. What did you do different?” asks Paty as she blinks.
    I know I look good. I took extra care in dressing this morning. “I don’t know what you mean. I look the same as always,” said Jose Enrique, looking secretive y confident.
    “Well, I don’t know what you did, but I like it. I can see that you took extra care to meet tu novia. Just make sure you are ready at one. Please don’t be late. Tu novia is exceedingly nervous as it is,” said Paty in a thoughtful tone.
    “Paty, I think you need to tell me a little about mi novia. I need to know her name. What’s she like? How long have you known her? Do I know her? Come on, Paty. Today is the day. I am not going to change mi mente in meeting her. Is that what worries you?” pleads Jose Enrique with his hermoso green ojos reflecting how worried he truly is.
    “You know that our padres are especially worried about mi novia. Papa asked me last night after dinner if I am okay, and if I have lost faith, confidence, and amor for them. He wanted to know why I have not sought out their consejos y support. Do you know how sad he looked, and how cruel I felt?” asks Jose Enrique. He sits into his favorite comfortable deep burgundy leather office chair. Paty sits down in one of the other leather office chairs across from his desk.
    “Jose Enrique I did not realize that our padres are worried. Neither one has approached me or made any comments on their concerns. I am sorry. If I had known that being so secretive was going to cause so much trouble, I would have told you sooner. Then you would have had the opportunity of telling la familia exactly what you wanted them to know,” said Paty. “Si, hermano, you do know her, but I do not think that you will even remember or recognize her when you see her. She is mi best amiga and she was always over at our casa hanging out. I know you never even looked at her. You were always busy at college or at la familia’s company,” said Paty with an impish grin.
    “Okay, Paty, I want to meet you in the conference room at one. I have to go. Tony and I have a meeting with some clients for a presentation,” kissing Paty on the cheek as he picks up a file.
    Walking out of the door he turns around, “Paty, stay in mi office. Bella is looking for you,” whispers Jose Enrique closing the door as he leaves.
    Paty can hear him whistling down the hall after he closes the door behind him.
