Chapter 13 : I Wasn''T Supposed To Think About Him Every Time I Saw This Dress.


    Chapter 13 : I wasn''t supposed to think about him every time I saw this dress.


    But Monsieur wouldn''t let him say it, was it because he was afraid she wouldn''t ept it?


    So Sofia restrained herself from saying anything.


    -Miss Noboa, I will take you to the city.


    Sofia dropped her off on the main road into town and told her to be careful before reluctantly leaving.


    Mica watched the car disappear around the corner before withdrawing her eyes.


    There would be no more contact between her and Carlos, would there?


    Putting aside her concern, Mica told herself to cheer up, she still had a long way to go!


    The most important thing right now was to get settled in a house and then find a job.


    She found a cool shade, pulled out her phone, looked up where the houses were in good condition,


    then picked out a few that looked good to her and went to look at them right away.


    After a long day of running around and a quick lunch, he still couldn''t find a suitable house.


    The ones he liked were too expensive, the ones he didn''t like were in a not-so-safe neighborhood, and


    the ones he neither did nor didn''t like had a condition of paying more than a year''s rent at once.


    With so little savings, what would she eat and drink after paying rent for a year?


    Dejected, she walked on a sidewalk, an advertisement for a house for rent in her hand.


    What was she going to do, should she stay in a hostel tonight?


    Hostels were expensive...


    -Ouch!


    A middle-aged woman didn''t see Mica and bumped into her, and Mica took two steps back


    before she could get to her feet.


    The middle-aged woman, who had short, curly hair that reached her shoulders and looked elegant,


    hurried to apologize with a smile.


    -I''m sorry, miss, did I hurt you...?


    Mica shook her head.


    -No, I''m fine.


    -Hey, miss, do you want to rent a house? asked the middle-aged woman with a surprised look on her


    face when she saw Mica with the rental ad in her hand.


    Mica nodded without understanding.


    -I have a house that I''m going to advertise,e and see it, it''s clean and in a safe neighborhood, I''m


    in a hurry to leave the country and the price is definitely eptable!


    Mica was still resisting, fearing that she was a bad person.


    But when she heard her say it was a clean, safe house at an eptable price, she couldn''t help but


    take another serious look at the middle-aged woman.


    Kind-looking and tastefully dressed, she didn''t seem like a bad person.....


    -Come on, I''m definitely not a scammer!


    Mica followed the middle-aged woman to a building in the neighborhood, very new, it seemed to


    have been built in thest few years.


    On top of that it had an elevator.


    She took the elevator to the ninth floor, took out the keys and opened the door.


    Mica entered and, indeed, it was clean, as if it had just been cleaned.


    -Look, I wasn''t lying to you, was I? You won''t find anything like this in the whole neighborhood. It''s one


    bedroom, one kitchen, one bathroom, south facing, with a balcony, fully furnished and ready for you to


    move in.


    Mica looked around and really liked the ce, took a look around the neighborhood and the security


    was well done.


    A house this nice should be expensive, right?


    Mica was a little sad inside?


    -I''ve liked you since I saw you the first time. I''m in a hurry to get out of the country and the price is very


    negotiable.


    Mica was even more impressed and asked attentively:


    -How much would it be?


    The middle-aged woman also frowned and spoke carefully:


    -200 a month!


    Mica swallowed saliva....


    The middle-aged woman looked at her expression, "Oh no, did I say too high a price?". She


    immediately changed:


    -100 a month! It can''t be lower than that. I''m in a hurry to go abroad, I have my visa and everything and


    I don''t want to wait any longer, otherwise I wouldn''t have this price.


    Mica''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    After a day of walking around, the minimum for apartments like these was $500 or more a month!


    Thisdy...


    No!


    Thisdy tycoon probably didn''t know market prices!


    She couldn''t miss this great opportunity!


    Mica grabbed the middle-aged woman''s hand and said excitedly:


    -Yes! I want this house! Let''s sign the contract!


    An hourter, Mica happily threw herself on the couch in her room.


    Moving was the nicest word in the world!


    Looking at the contract in her hand, 100 a month, entitled to monthly rent payments and no rent


    increase for three years!


    Mica rolled over excitedly, the bed covers were not new, but they were clean and smelled of freshly


    dried detergent and sunshine.


    Sliding her hand over the softforter, she casually touched the corner of the bed... ehhh, there was


    a card!


    There was a double mattress, so it was no wonder it was so soft andfortable!


    This card was hanging on the mattress and when you fixed your eyes on it, the price tag was 999!


    Mica sat up with a start, was this double mattress that expensive?


    Was this new?


    Mica gave a thousand thanks to the owner of the house, she was certainly someone who brought


    her luck in her life!


    Downstairs, the middle-aged womaning out of the building, the one Mica was very grateful for,


    looked up, wiped her forehead, took out her cell phone and sent a message to a Mr. Aguayo:


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mission sessfullypleted, already moved in!".


    Mica stepped out onto the balcony and looked at the view.


    It was amazing that she could rent such arge property for such a low price in Tdia, where every


    inch ofnd was gold, and the location of this ce was particrly good, with easy ess to


    everything....


    God hadn''t been so mean to her, she always met good people in times of crisis....


    Mica suddenly remembered Carlos....


    He was also someone she was grateful to, and as she thought of his tense face when she turned him


    down....


    She patted her cheek, "Mica, there''s nothing to be sorry about, it was right to reject him, you''re not


    from the same world!".


    Mica collected herself, grabbed her new keys, went downstairs to buy some essentials and simple


    ingredients, prepared a quick dinner, ate and then cleaned up and went to bed.


    "Come on Mica, off to look for work tomorrow, it''s going to get better and better!".


    After a long day of running around, Mica soon fell asleep....


    Mica woke up at dawn and still had a brief moment of confusion looking at the unfamiliar ceiling.


    It took her a while to get up, then wash and change clothes.


    Taking the bag that Sofia had given her yesterday, she took out one of the dresses....


    This dress, which she wore that day when she left the hotel, was given to her by Carlos!


    Sofia probably thought it was hers and put it in the bag, didn''t she?


    Mica put this dress in an inconspicuous corner of her empty closet.


    She was not to think of him every time she saw this dress.


    The past was about to turn the page and disappear.


    Mica closed the door and went out, she was going to start looking for a job.


    She was confident that she would be able to find a job soon, as her work skills and relevant work


    experience had been honed and umted during her part-time job at the university....
