If you must lie, be brief.

"María, I swear, she's just a friend." Jose told his wife because he got it in a loving act with Juana who is his secretary and lover. The relationship between Jose and María was full of experiences, good and bad but it surpassed anything. His marriage of 15 years was strong, although months ago it was falling apart because they did not spend time together.
Maria entered the house without warning and got them kissing. Jose began to explain, "She's just a co-worker, she's working on the details of the engineering project." His wife already knew everything, she was aware of what was happening between them, it was enough to see them together for a few minutes to figure out what they were hiding. María molesta says to her: "If you're going to lie, be brief." Save your empty words, do not be insensitive and inhuman, at least give me a reason not to hate you, repentant Jose says: "I'm an idiot. I betrayed our marriage for a moment of pleasure. You have the right to kill me if you wish, and I do not deserve to live if you are not by my side.
