《My Dear Mr. Nice》 Chapter 1 : How Are You Going To Return The Favor? Chapter 1 : How Are You Going To Return The Favor? Chapter 1 : How are you going to return the favor? At 8:00 p. m., at the Estencell Hotel. Mica Noboa''s eyelids were heavy, she struggled to open her eyes and say something, but she couldn''t get the slightest strength out of them. A familiar woman''s voice sounded nearby.... -Damn woman! Mom, I really hate her! Why did you adopt her? You should have left her on the street! -Well, Adriana, stopining, she''ll get what she deserves! She won''t stand in your way anymore. -Mom, why do so many men like her face? I''m nothing less than her! -No doubt it''s because of that face that looks just like her mother''s! Come on, let''s get out of here. *** Mica struggled to open her eyes to see the white ceiling, after examining the surroundings, she assumed she was in the hotel, but what was clear to her was that those two had already left. Probably Mica was the only person in the world who had been drugged and sent to a hotel by her own aunt. How ironic! He stood up stiffly leaning his arms on the bed, but suddenly the dizziness made him wish he could go home immediately and lie down on his squishy bed.... But no, he had to get out of there as soon as possible! She had a mess in her head, she only remembered that she was in her room, when Adriana gave her a ss of water that tasted like alcohol, and then she woke up here. Mica wanted to stand up, but as soon as she did she fell down again. With great difficulty she finally reached the door, pulled on it and unconsciously stepped back.... On the other side of the door was a man in a coleres shirt, passing through the door. Mr. Gallo? The shameless middle-aged man who very often looked at her so strangely and annoyed her? He had almost no hair left on his head, he had a pot belly, on top of that he wore a super thick gold chain around his neck, he gave off a whole air of nouveau riche! The moment he saw Mica, he was impressed. "Madre mia mia, what a hottie we have here!". The girl''s face was pale, just like her little mouth, her eyes, a little lost and a little wet, long hair in a bun, and with a slender figure, she expressed a kind of morbid beauty. Mr. Gallo got horny just looking at Mica. -Hey, beautiful, have youe to greet me? I''m Mr. Gallo, remember me? With that, he quickly approached the door. Mica tried to dodge when the other one pounced on her, but the dizziness slowed her down and she was stopped by Mr. Gallo, who smiled mischievously. -How good you smell! I was told that the adopted niece of the Elvira family gives off an addictive scent, apparently it''s true! -Let go of me! Mica struggled, but the man''s fat hands did not move. Mica suddenly remembered the hairpin she wore on her head, then quickly yanked it out and stuck it into Mr. Gallo''s arm.... Mr. Gallo only felt a fragrant scent as he let go of his hair, and before he could enjoy it any more, a sharp pain shot through his arm, making him jerk his arm unconsciously. Mica fell unsteadily to the ground and her hairpin went flying far away..... Mr. Gallo gritted his teeth and shot a look of rage. -Damn you, you''re stubborn! Do you think you can hurt me with your strength? With that, Mr. Gallo took a step forward, ignoring the blood on his arm. Mica felt a bit of fear as she tried to get up, but could only brace her hands on the floor and step back, her mind in chaos trying to think of a way to break her blockade and leave the room.... -Mr. Gallo, please, behave yourself.... Mica wanted to angrily reprimand him, but his voice did notmand. I had to get out of this! -Behave? Ha, ha. For your information, your cousin Adriana told me to take good care of you, and your aunt Marta is not a good person either, soe with me, you won''t make a mistake! Mr. Gallo''s mouth watered withughter. As if irritated by the two people he mentioned, Mica bit her lower lip so hard that bright red blood spilled out, the smell of blood and pain concentrated her consciousness, unable to retreat any further, her back hit the table, Mica stood up clutching the table and felt a cold object like a bowl on the table, she reacted, it was an ashtray.... Mr. Gallo smiled coldly, thinking that this woman could no longer escape in any way.... -Let''s see where you can escape to now, I''ll teach you a good lesson! Mica bit her lip again, "It''s not final yet, I''m not going to let this bastard get away with it!". With all her strength, she hit him with the ashtray the moment he turned around.... Mr. Gallo''s forehead immediately oozed blood! As he screamed in pain, Mica took off running. Mica rushed forward down the hallway, her footsteps so light that it seemed she was walking on clouds. Her head was spinning, and what was clearly one path became three.... A man''s voice was heard from the back. -Stop right there, you fucking bitch! Mr. Gallo gritted his teeth and came from behind. Mica ran forward desperately, leaning against the wall from time to time, and a constant heat emanated from her body, in addition to the dizziness.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Like one lost in life, she wandered without direction, until she crashed into a wide embrace in the corner.... The man embraced the woman almost unconsciously, smelling a fragrance that belonged exclusively to women..... In fact, he thought it smelled good! He suddenly felt very curious about this woman! He was allergic to the smell of all perfumes, but the smell of her was not at all repulsive to him, and there was something inexplicably familiar.... The bodyguard behind her immediately tried to push her away, but Carlos Aguayo gave him a look that made him withdraw his hand and stand still behind him. -Help me, I beg of you.... Mica begged unconsciously. Carlos frowned as he saw the woman in his arms, she was beautiful, stunningly beautiful at first sight, with beautiful eyes, but at that moment her eyes were unfocused and with a sense of helplessness, which awoke a desire for protection.... A desire for protection? Would he, always known for his cold-bloodedness, have such a thing? Carlos curved his lips coldly.... Looking up, a man was running towards them with a very clear purpose.... She was heated, and Carlos, thinking a little, supposed she was.... Looking again at the man who wasing nearer and nearer, Charles spoke lightly: -Why should I save you? Mica stepped back a little, but it seemed she could not even stand without her sustenance, she could not run far and could only hope that the man before her was a good man.... -I''ll... return the favor.... Suddenly, Carlos embraced her slender waist, taking her in his arms and whispering in her ear. -How are you going to return the favor? Chapter 2 : Remember This BastardS Name Is Carlos! Chapter 2 : Remember This Bastard''S Name Is Carlos! Chapter 2 : Remember this bastard''s name is Carlos! Moving closer to her, his mesmerizing scent was bing more evident, and that familiar feeling was getting stronger and stronger! Mica felt entranced; had she stepped out of one danger into another? She let go of his hand and tried to pull back, but the man''s hand didn''t let go of her at all. -Hey! Mr. Gallo had already reached them. -The woman in your arms is mine! Give her back to me before I get angry! Carlos raised an eyebrow and looked at the man, with shrewd, cold eyes, as he asked the question back: -Yours? -Yes! Mine! Give it back to me! Actually, Mr. Gallo was a little afraid for the man in front of him, because he had a badass air about him, on top of that he had two bodyguards behind him. But he had exchanged an order worth 1 million for that woman! Besides, how could he let such a beauty get away? Mica struggled to get out of his arms, but the man held her tighter, and her body seemed to be quite Carlos felt that he no longer looked like himself. -Do you want me to give you away? Carlos whispered in her ear, feeling surrounded by that scent, which he found especially soothing and made him even more certain that he had seen her somewhere before. Mica shook her head strongly. The corners of Carlos'' mouth curved morously. -If you want me to save you, you''ll have to pay the price! He looked up and turned coldly to the man in a mess. -This woman is not for you, get out! -You... Mr. Gallo was so angry that he was speechless for a moment. -Let go of me... Mica''s face was red and her consciousness was fading. Carlos hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear. -What? Do you regret it? Are you willing to be taken by that disgusting man? The warm breath scattered behind her ears tickled, and with the alcohol taking effect, she felt weaker and weaker all over her body. -No, I... I don''t want to go with him. "I won''t let Adriana have her way!". -Ja... He lightly kissed her earlobe, making her shiver. -Tell me, why do you smell so good? Marginalized to the side, Mr. Gallo was more than nervous. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. The man in front of him was obviously someone he couldn''t afford to offend, and even if he was quite sessful in Tdia, this man in front of him was definitely above him by his aura! But it was a shame to give up such a beautiful woman, so he blurted out something without thinking: -Why don''t you let me throw her away and I''ll give her to you when I''m done? Carlos'' eyes instantly shot a cold light and he looked at Mr. Gallo with a merciless look. -You''re asking for death! With Mica in his arms, Carlos delivered a magnificent kick to Mr. Gallo''s chest! Mr. Gallo suddenly shot out... Covering his chest and sitting against the wall, with blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, he was more than stupefied. Mica was in shock, he had just moved in such a way that she unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and the man''s hands did not leave her waist. -Sir! Two bodyguards approached to ask. Carlos took Mica in his arms. -Tell Jack to cancel tonight''s meeting. Don''t bother me. With a nce at Mr. Gallo, who was screaming in pain, he turned away in disgust and headed for the elevator. -Get this son of a bitch. -Yes. Carlos carried Mica in his arms all the way up the elevator to the VIP suite on the top floor. Due to the effects of the drug, Mica felt as if her strength had been drained from her, and with her feet in the air, she was even more entranced. Throwing Mica on the white bed, she stood up nervously, she was much more conscious after being thrown like that, and looked around, the ce was a hundred times more luxurious.... As she tried to get up, a pair ofrge hands squeezed her shoulders and she looked up, only to fall into those deep eyes.... He was so handsome, with voluminous ck hair, a pair of thick eyebrows, long and slightly curled eyshes, deep dark eyes where his lost little face was reflected, an attractive nose and thin perfect lips slightly curved with a hint of mischief. Carlos also looked seriously at Mica, her eyes were even more beautiful than when they were unfocused, there was no doubt that they were eyes that knew how to speak for themselves. He searched his mind for an impression of that face, but nothing! Even though he didn''t rte to women, he shouldn''t have forgotten such a beautiful face! But how could her scent be so familiar to him if he had never seen her before? -What? Do you think I look handsome? -Carlos spoke. Mica jerked her head away, what had happened to her? She was so lost looking at him that she tried to pull her arm away, but she couldn''t. "So what if you''re handsome? -So what if you are handsome? You''re still the guy who tries to take advantage of me in a situation like this. Carlosughed, he had been scolded, but he was happy. His thumb brushed her lips, they were gtinous, he thought surely they would taste better when he kissed her. The white silk jacket she wore was in shit, because even her bra was showing. Her face was flushed, her heart was fluttering and her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh. It wasn''t just dope to put her to sleep, if it had been anyone else, it would have been much worse, she would have been at the mercy of others without any will of her own, but she was still resisting, her eyes glowing! Her perseverance, her endurance, surprised him. Carlos'' forehead rested on hers, the temperature was frighteningly high. -Little girl, are you so stubborn? Hisrge palm enveloped her small fist, then he separated her fingers one by one, and sure enough, the palm was already furrowed with deep, bloody nail marks. -Let me go. Mica looked him nonchntly in the eye, gasping under her breath, but with a look of defiance. What an interesting woman! She was still resisting in this situation. And he, simply by the smell of her, and her unconscious rubbing, had be very interested in her. -No. I made it clear when I took you out there, you will pay the price. Mica tried to say something, but the handsome face suddenly moved closer and his thin lips pressed against hers, blocking her slightly open mouth.... Mica looked away and Carlos pushed her slightly and she fell back on the bed. She tried to do the same as before, but he saw hering and pinned her down. With weak and exhausted limbs, Mica''s consciousness was slowly fading, and she kept struggling to push him away. -Why, we don''t know each other at all, why...? Mica knew she was on the weak side and tried to argue anyway. -Because you smell good, because I want to," said Carlos in an arrogant way. -What, do you give a shit about thews?! Carlos caressed her delicate cheek and found it clearly fascinating to observe the anger in her eyes; it had been a long time since he had been interested in anything, but this woman had managed to awaken his interest. -Ha, at this moment, I only have eyes for you," Carlos said and made a move to kiss her.... -You bastard! Mica turned her head away, and her words had used up all her strength. Carlos approached her and exhaled a hot breath in her ear. -Remember that this bastard''s name is Carlos! Mica felt only a sudden sharp pain in the side of her neck, her mind went nk, and she passed out. Chapter 3 : IM Sorry, I DonT Have Any Money. Chapter 3 : I''M Sorry, I Don''T Have Any Money. Chapter 3 : I''m sorry, I don''t have any money. Carlos got up and covered her with a thin nket. He had no interest in possessing her against her will! -When the dayes that you say yes, I will possess you. After a deep look at the unconscious Mica, he thought, "I''m going to investigate this woman." *** Mica had a long dream about her vaguely remembered parents and the roaring fire and her mother''s voice when she was ten years old, when her mother and father took her on a car trip. -Mica, you have to survive.... She was in aa for a long time because of the emotion of the ident, and when she woke up, she didn''t remember anything before the ident, and she wondered why she had no family other than her deceased parents and her aunt Marta. And her only family, Aunt Marta, was not willing to take her in. She was sent to an orphanage where she was treated very well by the director, she had be so autistic as a result of the ident that she often didn''t say a word all day, and it was the director who Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. gradually opened her up. But two yearster, Aunt Marta suddenly came back to pick her up from the orphanage and offered to adopt her. The director agreed on Mica''s behalf so that she could have a better living environment and study conditions. She lived under the Elvira''s roof, afraid of upsetting her aunt Marta and her cousin Adriana, but even after all her efforts, she was eventually sent to someone else''s bed by her aunt Marta, whom she had called aunt for twenty years.... Mica opened her eyes slowly, the sky was already illuminated, the atmosphere was unfamiliar, memories of the night before came back to her, she sat up abruptly, her hands strained to lift the nkets to check.... She was still in the same clothes as yesterday, though torn, and physically she felt no difort either..... Mica was relieved.... Apparently the man was finally good and didn''t do anything to her. She could not be more grateful to him. She must have left, because therge room was silent, she was alone. She rubbed her temples, her head still a little fuzzy. The room was veryrge, simply furnished, but luxuriously decorated, and every object seemed valuable. The most striking part were the three circles of magnificent crystal chandeliers on the ceiling that shone dazzlingly and beautifully throughout the room. The man must have been very rich to afford such a luxurious hotel. "Remember this bastard''s name is Carlos!". The words he saidst night echoed in her head. Carlos? And that kiss... Rubbing her tired eyes, she allowed herself to stop thinking about this for a moment and make some order in her mind. Why did Aunt Marta do this, just because of that request for 1 million? She knew Adriana hated her very much since she was a child, that''s why Mica couldn''t wait to move into the dorm as soon as she started college, she even worked part-time during summer and winter vacations to minimize the chances of running into her cousin.... She got out of bed and saw a neatly folded dress on the bedside table. Was it for her? Mica bit her lip, she hadn''t expected the man to be so thoughtful. She picked it up, it was a beautiful dress with a high cheongsam style cor.... Mica unconsciously touched the back of her neck.... This dress was so too precious. Mica put the dress down and walked over to the huge mirror, the tattered silk jacket was no longer wearable, although the underwear was a very conservative wrap style, there was no way she was going to walk out the door with it, and the knee length skirt was wrinkled and straw-like.... After some hesitation, Mica put on the dress, her hairpin was nowhere to be seen, pulled back her long hair, opened the door and hesitated. Could she just leave? The man had kindly saved her, although at first he seemed like a bad guy, making her think she was in danger. It seemed impolite to leave like that, but I was so strapped for cash that I had no way to pay him materially. This was a hotel, and the man might note back, so there was no point in leaving a message. But she was going to remember this favor, if she ever saw him, she would thank him in person! With this in mind, Mica closed the door and went out. The drive out of the hotel went smoothly. Mica stopped a cab at the entrance. -Where are you going, Miss? The driver, an honest man in his forties or fifties, watched Mica for a while in the rearview mirror. "What an unusual beauty, even the air in the car smelled good." Mica was stunned, yes, where could she go? Having escapedst night, it was definitely not a good idea to go back to the Elvira''s house, she couldn''t even imagine her aunt Marta and Adriana joining forces to finish her off? -Miss? Where to? Name a ce! The driver raised his voice and asked again. Mica blurted out: -To Yunalvian. -Okay. The car slowly merged into the traffic. It was the private residence of the boyfriend who had been with her for three years, Marcos Franco. Even though nothing happenedst night, she still felt guilty and didn''t want to confront him for fear that he would me her for not protecting herself, but for the moment she had nowhere to go. Looking out the car window, Mica''s brow furrowed gently, wondering what to do from now on, how she would deal with her aunt Marta and Adriana. Ten minutester, the car pulled up in front of a housing development. -That''s $8. 5. The driver turned off the engine and looked back, this beauty was a pleasure to behold.... The chauffeur was visibly stunned as he watched Mica forcefully pull a pearl from the shoulder of her shirt and hand it to him. -I''m sorry, I don''t have any money. This pearles from South Africa and is in very good condition. The market price is about two thousand dors. The driver was dumbfounded and unconsciously reached out to take it; the pearl was really beautiful, with a nice color and very round.... -Sir, don''t worry, find a jewelry store and sell it, I''m sure it will go for more than 2, 000. She specialized in jewelry appraisal at the university and was very sure of her opinion. The chauffeur looked at Mica and her eyes were so clean and clear and full of relevance that I couldn''t help but want to believe her. -Well, thank you then. -Thanks to you, goodbye! Mica got out of the car and smoothed out her dress a little, from the shoulders to the neckline they were adorned with pearls of great value, the dress was so well made that it didn''t look bad without a pearl. She didn''t want to wear this dress because she knew these pearls were expensive. But she didn''t know that the dress had been designed by James, a famous designer, nor that it was the only one in the world. Certainly her Aunt Martha didn''t give her many material goods, she had to spend her own money carefully and she knew very little about these designer brands. Taking a deep breath, she entered the elevator in one of the buildings on the block, well past rush hour, and made her way to the 16th floor without incident. Mica made her way to the familiar door, her small hand couldn''t help but clench her chest, her heart was a little nervous, it had been a long time since she had seen him, she wondered how he would react to her surprise visit? Was the door ajar? Then he must be home! Mica couldn''t help curling the corners of her mouth and fixing her hair before gently pushing the door.... Chapter 4 : Your Love Chapter 4 : Your Love Chapter 4 : Your love Mica entered gingerly, stepped on something lumpy under her feet and looked down to see that it was girl''s underwear! It was ck with a special detail.... Mica withdrew her foot and her small hand unconsciously covered her mouth to keep from screaming. She raised her eyes to follow the men''s and women''s clothes strewn along the path to.... Marcos'' master bedroom. Mica felt like the world was spinning! A violent heartbeat was telling her that this was not a dream. "No, it can''t be... Marcos... Marcos said he only wanted me! Mica, you have to believe him, maybe it''s a misunderstanding, maybe it''s not Marcos who''s in there.... You should get out of here...". Mica was saying it to herself, but another voice in her mind reminded her: "Don''t hesitate, open the door and see for yourself". Finally, Mica trembled and approached the ajar door.... Then she heard the sound of her heart breaking into little pieces. -Marcos, do you love me? -Honey, of course I love you, you''re the one I love the most..... -Oh, don''t you love your Mica anymore? -Don''t mention that killjoy name, she''s not as good as you, three years of dating and she still won''t let me touch her, she says that about saving the first time for the wedding night, but does she take me for a monk or what? You''re different, you''re a real sorceress in bed.... Mica sped her hands tightly over her ears and slid against the wall to sit on the floor.... The voices of the two reached her choppy ears. "Mica, you still don''t believe it? Are you still worried that he''ll me himself for not protecting you? It''s ridiculous, he''s... Wait...". Mica wiped her tears, "That woman, that voice...". Mica got up and, without hesitation, she opened the door to the room with a bang. -Ah! Marcos, someone hase in! The woman screamed and pushed Marcos away, cowering in a corner wrapped in the nket and deliberately covering her face. She was a popr model, if the paparazzi took pictures of her, her career was over! Marcos wrapped a towel around himself in panic and froze as he turned to see Mica in tears. Mica saw remorse in his eyes! That was ridiculous! She rushed forward in a few steps and tried to pull the quilt that covered the woman''s face.... Marcos tried to stop her and Mica pped him away. -Marcos, help me! The woman tugged at the nket and refused to let go, and Mica wouldn''t let go either. They both pulled, and although she had the answer in her mind, she was still reluctant! -Stop it, Mica, stop it! -Marcos shouted. Mica let go of his hand, told him to stop.... However, the woman under the sheets suddenly let go of his hand and saw that it was indeed Mica, then the corners of her lips curved into a smile. -Look who''s here, if it isn''t Mica! -she said and sat down around the quilt. -Adriana, it''s really you..." muttered Mica, her rage rising in her as she looked at the smug Adriana. -Why did you do this? Why did you...? She used to consider Marcos as her mental support, but at this moment she was so disgusted by him that she couldn''t even say his name.Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Marcos didn''t care anymore whether he looked good or not, he put on his pants as best he could and with his top naked, he grabbed Mica''s arm to get out of there, closing the door behind him. -Mica! Marcos leaned slightly and grabbed Mica''s arm with both hands, looking at Mica''s sad and angry eyes with a guilty mind. He lowered his voice and said: -Mica, you have always been the one I love the most? Mica pulled her hand away from the man, unable to hold back her tears. -Don''t touch me! Are you going to keep lying after all this? Three years of rtionship... She even thought she would definitely marry him, but that''s how it turned out! Marcos couldn''t help but get angry too and growled under his breath: -I got involved with Adriana because you don''t want to satisfy me! I''m a normal man, in these three years of rtionship you haven''t even let me kiss your mouth, I''ve got my needs! Mica was trembling with rage, looking at the man she thought was handsome before, but now he was so ugly and so unknown. -I''ve been waiting for you, waiting for you to get out of ss, waiting for you to get out of work, waiting for you to graduate, but what''s wrong with you, you don''t even know what I need! So her love only consisted of someone apanying her? Mica felt a lump in her throat and wanted to get rid of it, but there was no way. The door to the room opened and Adriana, dressed in her clothes, leaned against the door with a smile on her face. -Mica, you don''t know anything about men, so let me teach you! Did you have a good timest night? I dosed you with lots of drugs because I knew you were in a different physical condition. He slowly and methodically approached Mica, looking her up and down. -Mr. Gallo treats you well, doesn''t he? Just one night and you already have a GIBIERRE dress? Adriana smiled like a winner. -Ha ha ha ha ha, it''s fake, isn''t it? That old man isn''t so generous, but you''re great with fakes! Mica was so angry that she took a ss of water from a table and threw it in Adriana''s face. -Mica, you''re crazy! Adriana screamed and wiped her face, and Marcos rushed to get some paper to wipe her face, while ming Mica: -Mica, don''t overdo it! -Marcos, are you saying I''m going too far? How long have you been cheating on me behind my back? How did you manage to tell me how much you love me and at the same time hook up with my cousin? Mica clutched her chest, feeling like her heart was going to burst out of her chest. Adriana pushed Marcos away as quickly as she could. -I''m sorry, but I''m thedy of the Elvira family, Marcos and I are together because the parents of both families agree and because he helps bothpanies, and who are you to throw that in our faces! He''s in love with me! We partied all night and just got back. Is that why you didn''t even close the door in your haste to getid? Mica found it simply unbelievable. -Adriana, I don''t suppose you''re awake? Mica paused, took a deep breath and continued: -You steal someone else''s boyfriend and you''re still so justified? But now, I don''t care who this scum loves, you can do whatever you want with him! -You... Adriana felt choked by hisment. Mica didn''t look at Marcos, but Marcos kept looking at Mica. She looked so good when she was angry, her whole being full of life and dazzling sparks, and his words about not caring made her heart clench for an instant.... -Adriana, I knew you were setting me up, I didn''t swallow almost any of the spray, and that Mr. Gallo, I beat the hell out of him! Adriana gritted her teeth: "No wonder Mr. Gallo doesn''t answer about the order, what a useless guy, he can''t even handle a woman!". Mica''s heart suddenly fluttered and she looked at Marcos in disbelief, her voice slightly trembling: -You were with herst night... did you know she had set me up? Chapter 5 : Why DonT You Give Your Daughter To Mr. Gallo? Chapter 5 : Why Don''T You Give Your Daughter To Mr. Gallo? Chapter 5 : Why don''t you give your daughter to Mr. Gallo? Mica''s heart was sinking. Marcos'' throat rolled a couple of times in assent. The Franco family and the Elvira family had a business partnership and it would be very beneficial to both families if they could get an order from Mr. Gallo. He was a little reluctant to give up the girl he had been protecting for years, but there were plenty of women left in the world, so his career was more important! He needed that request to make the family give him more importance. Mica was freaking out, how blind she was, how could she fall in love with him! She thought Adriana had set her up, but it turned out that her own boyfriend had something to do with it. -Ha ha, Mica, don''t think you''re important! Adrianaughed in triumph. Mica couldn''t stand it and ran away. -Marcos, I''ll consider that I''ve wasted the three years of my youth! *** Mica, who had left Marcos'' apartment, was lost in thought as she walked along the shady side of the street. What a miserable life! She looked up at the sky half-obscured by tree leaves and thought to herself: "Mom, you want me to go on living, but I''m so tired, I could have been happier if I had gone with you back then...". Her mind was in chaos, remembering the various moments of harassment by Adriana since she came to the Elvira family.... And Marcos... No, that scum, he didn''t deserve her thoughts! She told herself that, but the tears kept flowing.... Even though Marcos had betrayed her, he had given her many good memories in thest three years and had taught her what it was like to have someone who cared about her and loved her.... On her way, many people stopped to look at her, some said she was pretty, some said she had a nice dress, but Mica turned a deaf ear until her feet went numb and she realized she walked back to the Elvira''s house without noticing.... She didn''t want to go back, and she had just thought about leaving the city that had broken her heart, but in two months she would be graduating from college and couldn''t leave now. Besides, she felt an inexplicable attachment to the three-story European-style vi before her, she was iparably familiar with each and every nook and cranny of the house.... As she looked into the garage, Adriana''s red Mercedes was already parked there. She went back first to tattle! He could predict the horror of the scene that would greet himter! Slow as it was, he reached the front door and pushed it gently open, and sure enough the mother and daughter were already sitting on the couch, looking as if they had been waiting for a long time. -Where have you gone?! Adriana''s mother, Marta Garcia, stood up. With her medium height figure, curly hair and thick makeup on her face, she was always well-groomed and didn''t look nearly 50 years old. At that moment she wore a mocking expression that made Mica unconsciously want to step back. Thinking about what she had done the night before, Mica perked up to look her in the eye. -Of course I''ming back, Aunt Marta, why did you and Adriana set me up? Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Marta approached her and looked her up and down with contempt. -If you didn''t lose anything and you even managed to hit Mr. Gallo, didn''t you? You''re getting more and more capable, you even managed to get someone to take you out of the hotel? Did you let yourself be thrown by some stranger? Mica looked at Adriana, who gloated and rolled her eyes at Mica. Mica clenched her fists; she didn''t want to talk about the night before. -Don''t try to set any more traps for me, I won''t be led astray by you! Adriana approached. -Mica, you''ve been living in our house for over 10 years, what''s wrong with doing something to make it up to us? -I''m willing to make it up to you, but never in the way you''ve done it! -What''s wrong with this way? -Marta took the floor. -Mr. Gallo promised an order worth 1 million, when can you earn 1 million being a college student who has not yet graduated? Mica, her heart pounding with rage, looked at Marta. -Why don''t you give your daughter to Mr. Gallo! -You! -Marta choked hard. Adriana scoffed. -I''m Marcos'' girlfriend, so naturally this kind of thing is reserved for you. Marta immediately intervened. -You made a mess of things! Mr. Gallo was beaten upst night, the hotel surveince was destroyed, we couldn''t catch your assistants, we offended Mr. Gallo, and now we''ve lost a lot of money, and you''re responsible for this! -I have no way to be responsible. Adriana smiled. -Well, I do. Mr. Feijoo came to our house once and he loved you. If you''re his mistress, you''ll work with ourpany? Mica''s eyes widened with surprise, what kind of rtives are these, who were bent on pushing her to hell! -Don''t even think about it, I won''t do it! -said Mica loudly, then turned and ran up the stairs. After entering his room and closing the door, he checked that he was finally left alone. Mica leaned against the door slightly relieved. She knew, of course, that those two would never give up, and that if they had done such a dirty deed the first time, they would certainly do it again. She couldn''t waste time; she had to get out of that house immediately. Mica set about packing the essentials, her cell phone was out of battery and turned off automatically, she put it in a small bag with her charger. When she saw her bank card, she was d she had saved a few hundred dors from her summer and winter vacation jobs, so she wasn''t desperate at the moment. Grabbing her small suitcase and packing a few clothes, she headed for the door.... Mica was more than terrified. The door was locked from the outside! As Mica turned the doorknob with relentless force, she banged on the door and shouted: -Aunt Marta! Adriana! Open the door! Adriana''s cheerfulughter came from outside the door. -Don''t waste your strength, Mr. Feijoo will pick you up in the morning, so wait in your room quietly! -Adriana, don''t go too far, you''re breaking thew! You can''t do this to me! -Mica, say what you want, if we can deliver you to Mr. Feijoo, we can shut you up! -Let me out, Adriana! -Open the door! Mica was really scared, her hands were red from banging on the door so much and she couldn''t stop the tearsing out of her eyes. -Aunt Marta, let me out, you can''t do this to me, I''m your niece, how can you do this...! -Mica, we raised you decently because we thought you would be useful in the future, and until now we hadn''t asked you to do anything for us, so take it easy! Adriana was delighted, she hated that Mica was prettier than her, that''s why, giving her to Mr. Feijoo would make Mr. Feijoo cooperate with the Elvira Group, then Marcos will bepletely hers, ha, ha, it''s wonderful.... Mica screamed until she was hoarse and her hands were sore from so much pounding, but she got no answer. Adriana was definitely gone... She wiped the tears from her eyes and forced herself to calm down, shuddering as she pulled out her phone to charge it, which wasn''t responding at all.... Chapter 6 : ItS My Husband In This Car! Chapter 6 : It''S My Husband In This Car! Chapter 6 : It''s my husband in this car! Mica''s heart fell back into darkness. The electricity on the third floor must have been cut off, what could she do? She walked to the window, this was the third floor, below was the back garden, if she jumped, she wanted herself dead or crippled. Her mind suddenly recalled a scene she had seen before on a TV show, and she looked at the bedspread.... There was only one small scissors in the room and Mica struggled to rip, cut and knot strips of fabric. A whole day had passed without her even being able to take a sip of water, and Mica felt dizzy and lightheaded. Mica thought that maybe before she could get down with the strips of cloth, she would fall from the third floor because she was too exhausted to be able to hold on tight to the rope she was going to build.... It was getting dark and Adriana had not even brought her a ss of water. Mica''s stomach was already throbbing with pain and yet she held on, the rope was almost finished. If she really fell, Mr. Feijoo wouldn''t want a cripple, would he? The room was already dark and Mica had tied thest of the cloth. The sheets were a total mess, even the spare sheets from the closet were used, but she wasn''t sure if the length was long enough. Looking out the window, Mica clenched her ufortable stomach. She had to wait a little longer, they definitely hadn''t gone to bed yet and it would be spoiling everything if she was caught red-handed. She put the bag on, usurping the straps in her hand, and sat down under the window, bending her knees and hugging her legs to make her stomach feel better, and squinted her eyes so that she could save her strength.... Mica was half unconscious and about to fall asleep when, suddenly, she heard the door open! Mica quickly got up in shock, the dizziness caused by her low blood sugar made her rush to lean against the wall. The room was dark, there was no moonlight outside the window and it was raining. The entire third floor was dark and without electricity. The door opened slowly and a dim cell phone light shone in.... Mica held her breath and prayed that she would not be found.... At the same time, the expectation took over inside her, could it be Marcos who wasing to rescue her? -Mica, where are you? A muffled male voice sounded. It was her uncle! Soothing that faint disappointment, Mica felt that the illusion that had just passed through her mind was beyond ridiculous. Mica took a step forward, Sergio Elvira had already spotted Mica and grabbed her wrist, whispering urgently: -Mica, go away, they are all asleep, go far away and don''te back. -Uncle... Tears of gratitude sprang from Mica''s eyes. -Don''t say anything, it''s my fault for being useless. Go, be careful, I''ve turned off all the lights downstairs. Mica carefully followed her uncle Sergio up the stairs, her heart beating fast the whole way for fear of being discovered. She didn''t know why her uncle was a coward in front of Aunt Marta, but right now he was the only one secretly helping her. Once outside the gates of the Elvira''s house, her uncle left her at the nearestmppost, and looked back, pushing Mica. -Go away, go away! Mica''s eyes filled with tears and a thousand words stuck in her throat. Looking at Sergio''s already wrinkled face and the darkness of the Elvira''s house, Mica turned around and ran in the rain.... Mica ran until she could run no more, but only stopped to rest when she left the vi area. Only when her breathing calmed down did she continue on her way, looking pitiful as the rain soaked her clothes and hair. Luckily, her bag was with her at all times, so first she had to find a reliable hostel to stay at. She didn''t know what time it was, it was raining, there was no one on the streets, only the street lights were on, it must be the wee hours of the morning? He prayed that he would not meet any bad guys.... But suddenly a motorcycle crossed the street and sped past Mica. Mica elerated her steps. The motorcycle, which was still not far away, had already turned around and with a nice skid managed to intercept Mica''s path. -Where are you going alone sote? There were two men on the bike, the one on the back took off his helmet and got off, he was a young man in his twenties with shaved hair, dressed like a gangster and smiling mischievously. -It''s raining and you don''t have an umbre, why don''t youe to my house to rest? The shaved boy looked at Mica''s wet clothes that stuck to her body, making her figure even sexier, he whistled and looked at his friend. -No need, my house is just across the street! Mica tried to dodge them, but was stopped by the other man on a motorcycle who hung his helmet Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. on the bike and pulled Mica, she pulled away. The rain clouded her eyes and Mica wiped her face. -Get out of the way, my family is out to get me! -Mica said loudly, gesturing to look behind them. The two men immediately looked back, but the street was silent and not even God was there. "Damn it, I can''t believe I was fooled by a woman." The two immediately turned around. For her part, Mica had already run a few meters. She was running so hard that she felt dizzy and her stomach hurt, she really felt desperate, the street was so big, why wasn''t there a single person...? -Where do you think you''re going?! The shaved boy reached for her and grabbed her arm. -Let go of me! Mica struggled to get free, kicking hard at the shaved man''s knee. Mica''s shoes were lifelong ts, but the toe was rather pointed, and her kick hit the man''s balls. The shaven man screamed in pain, let go of her hand at once and dropped to one knee on the ground.... The other man came over, stopped his bike andughed at his friend. -Aaron, you''re such a prick, did you kneel down so easily? Ha, ha, ha... Mica''s mind was racing, "Surely I can''t outrun them and I can''t fight one against two, think, think...". A ck limousine was approaching, not very fast due to the rain, but she couldn''t wait for the car to stop and rescue her unless.... Mica quickly picked up a stone from the ground and mmed it hard into the limo. There was a screeching sound and the car stopped. Carlos, in the back seat, leaned forward slightly due to the braking. He stood up straight and looked at the window where the noise had urred, the ss was cracked in such a way that it looked like a spider web.... -Sir, I''m sorry, it looks like someone threw something at us! Chauffeur Diego Ocampo hastened to exin, before grabbing his umbre and getting ready to get out of the car to check it out. Carlos didn''t say anything because he had seen the person responsible for all that pounce. Through the rain, he saw that the person''s clothes looked familiar, and it was only when he was near the car window that he saw it was her. Shouldn''t she still be at the hotel? She was wearing this dress... Carlos looked at her dress and was entranced for a moment when he heard the woman shouting at him: -Help me, I don''t know them..... Mica threw herself at the window, knocking on the ss and exining loudly, not knowing if the people inside could hear or not.... The one with the shaved head and the one on the motorcycle thought about it for a while, but in the end they came closer. - "Pretty girl, you''re very smart, but do you think someone who drives a luxury car like this would meddle in other people''s business? Mica bit her lip, her head getting dizzier and dizzier, rain sliding down her cheeks, and her gaze hard. -I''m not going anywhere with you! Get out of here! It''s my husband who''s in this car! Chapter 7 : How Do You Plan To Pay For It? IsnT It Better If You Marry Me? Chapter 7 : How Do You n To Pay For It? Isn''T It Better If You Marry Me? Chapter 7 : How do you n to pay for it? Isn''t it better if you marry me? Carlos, who had opened the door from the other side of the car, overheard the words and was slightly startled. -Don''t make meugh, if you have such a rich husband, how can you be here in the rain in the middle of the night? Mica was speechless for a moment.... -My wife has this hobby, do you have a problem? A cold voice rang out. A tall, elongated figure, carrying arge ck umbre, slowly approached. In the rainy night, and with the umbre covering his face, it was impossible to see, but the powerful aura emanating from him still made the two hooligans step back in fear. Mica looked up in disbelief and Carlos had approached her. The umbre covered the sky above her head and no rain was hitting her face directly, allowing her to see the perfect profile of the man in front of her, with his high nose, firm chin and sharp, focused eyes looking straight ahead. -No, I have no problem..... The two hooligans suddenly flinched, the man''s eyes, majestic and domineering, prated with coldness, as if a single nce could crush them.... The rain continued, and the two hooligans saw that the situation was not in their favor and wanted to leave, but considered that the woman must be lying, so they stayed a little more to the side, watching, but without leaving. Carlos'' mouth curved into a slight smile and he turned to open the car door. -Honey, get in! Mica blushed with embarrassment at his endearment, he had said it so matter-of-factly! Looking at him, he had an umbre in one hand, and with the other resting on the car door, his deep- set eyes looking at her and a slight smile at the corner of his lips. Mica looked away, feeling as if her heart was beating faster. Seeing that the shaven man and his friend were still standing on the side of the street, Mica gritted her teeth and climbed into her car. Carlos''s smile intensified as he closed the door and climbed up the other side, picked up the umbre and closed the door in one fluid motion. Mica had been surprised as soon as she got into the car. The interior was also very luxurious. Spacious enough to have a small fridge, a table and aptop. The seats were leather, even the carpet underfoot looked expensive! As she was soaking wet, water immediately puddled under her feet, Mica was getting more and more nervous. Diego started the car to begin the trip. -Thank you very much, I''m sorry I got your car wet... aish! Before the words were out of her mouth, a sneeze came out uncontrobly. Then she felt the man''s distinctive breath hit her body and a warmth flooded her. Mica fixed her eyes on a ck zer covering her, leaving the man sitting next to her with only a white shirt on. -No need, I''ll get it wet.... -Put it on. Carlos'' orders could not be denied. Mica bit her lip and said: -Thank you... Carlos looked in the rearview mirror in front of him and fixed his eyes on Diego''s, who immediately turned on the car''s heater. "Sir, there are bath towels in the back seat? Of course, your jacket is definitely warmer." Diego silently swallowed what he wanted to say and asked another question. -Sir, are we still going to the Estencell Hotel? -No," Carlos said in a cold voice. The fact that this woman did not recognize him at all made him feel inexplicably ufortable. She reached over and grabbed a towel from the back shelf, then sat down next to him and rubbed it over his wet head.... Diego was so shocked that he looked straight ahead and stopped looking in the rearview mirror, thinking to himself, "What''s wrong with Mr. Aguayo today, he''s been doing weird things one after another!". Mica perceived that he had a more masculine air than the jacket.... -I... I can manage on my own, thank you! Mica hurried to grab the towel and wiped herself. Carlos stepped back. Carlos had not anticipated his own actions, as if he had done it unconsciously because she felt ufortable.... What was the magic of this woman? Ever since he had met herst night, he had been disoriented, with the figure of this woman appearing in his mind from time to time, and the faint scent of her body, which seemed to linger around him all the time.... He could not escape the party tonight, otherwise he would have gone to the Estencell Hotel. Last night a doctor was called in to examine her and said she would be asleep until tonight. I didn''t expect her to get out and go so far.... -I''m so sorry for staining your car, and your clothes.... As the heater filled the car, Mica felt a shiver and a warmth in her body, and the difort in her stomach grew more intense. -Is that all? Carlos looked at her, why was her face so red? -Huh? Mica was a little puzzled and vaguely observed how he seemed to look at the window pane, Mica realized and looked at the window again too.... That spider web sized crack was indeed his masterpiece. -I''m sorry, I... I saw a caring and tried to stop it, but the two bad guys in front of me got in the way and in my haste I grabbed the stone... I''ll pay for it! -Mica assured him, but she could guess the expensive value of the car, besides, with the feel of the clothes, she could be sure that it was also worth a lot of money, could she really afford to pay for them? Carlos crossed his long legs and leaned against the car window with one hand, resting his chin, his eyes looking straight ahead, finding her promise particrly familiar. -How do you n to pay for it? -Isn''t it better if you marry me? Mica shuddered, suddenly thinking of what the chauffeur had just said, "Estencell Hotel," and the Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. familiar voice ringing in her head: "How are you going to return the favor?". Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Carlos, her eyes full of disbelief, her stomach throbbing and her head dizzy, and her consciousness blurred as she muttered: -Carlos... Carlos turned around and saw Mica swaying and falling, and reached out to catch her. Mica fell into his arms.... -Sir... Diego wanted to ask you... -Go to Nyisrenda, quickly! -Yes. Carlos reached out and touched her forehead, the temperature was frighteningly high, no wonder her face was so red. Diego looked in the rearview mirror and saw Carlos'' cold face, normally he was indifferent, but it was obvious that now he was on edge.... As far as he knew from following the gentleman for over ten years, he would never meddle in such trivial matters, but today he hade to his rescue. Besides, he couldn''t believe that just a second ago he had blurted out that he was getting married.... Although he knew the man was joking, he was still stunned! Diego stepped on the gas pedal and sped off towards his destination... After ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. Diego hurried out of the car and tried to hold the umbre to Carlos, but thetter was already entering with Mica in his arms. The vi was illuminated and the housekeeper, the maid and the doctor, who had been warned in advance, were at the door waiting. -Mr. Aguayo! The doctor, who was carrying a first-aid kit, called out to him respectfully. Carlos just looked at him and, without slowing his feet, ordered in a cold voice: -Go up! Chapter 8 : Taking Care Of Her Chapter 8 : Taking Care Of Her Chapter 8 : Taking Care of Her The doctor ran upstairs after him. The housekeeper and maid were surprised to see Charles carry the unconscious woman directly to her own room. Carlos gently ced her on the bed, not caring that she was wet. Her face was flushed and her body was very warm. Seeing that she was all wet, Carlos wanted to undo the buttons on her cor.... But when he was almost touching her, he stopped violently and turned around.... The doctor, who was standing ready for his orders, shuddered at Mr. Aguayo''s cold stare.... Were Mr. Aguayo''s eyes trying to freeze him to death? -Get out! -Carlos shouted. The doctor hurried out. -Sofia! -Carlos shouted down as he opened his closet and pulled out a bathrobe. Sofia rushed in. -Sir... Carlos put the robe in Sofia''s hand. -Change her wet clothes! When he finished, he left the room and closed the door. Mica was changed and tucked in before the doctor examined her under Carlos'' sharp gaze. Only after making sure it was a fainting spell brought on by fever and hunger did Carlos look better. Only after giving her the intravenous drip did the doctor rush out. *** It was the next day when Mica woke up. She opened her eyes slowly to see a handsome face asleep before her, with a forehead covered with soft hair; long eyshes, better than a woman''s; snow-white skin, without a single pore; a straight nose; perfectly thin, tight lips.... "I''m not awake yet, I''m dreaming! How could I have a beautiful man here in my bed?". Mica thought and closed her eyes again. But she was so hungry! Was it possible to feel such a real hunger in dreams? She opened her eyes again, but was so frightened that she grabbed the nket.... Only to see that the beautiful man had opened his eyes, with a hint of sluggishness from sleep, and his hand was reaching for her.... Mica wanted to scream, but the pain in her throat prevented her from speaking.... -Well, you no longer have a fever.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The man spoke, his voice a little hoarser. After checking the temperature of her forehead, therge hand left. Mica stood watching as the man lifted the sheets off the bed and entered the adjacent closet. He was dressed in a white bathrobe and had white skin, although she only caught a glimpse of him, he was muscr as fuck! Mica sat up and shook her head, why was she ying the nymphomaniac at that moment and spying on his muscles? She didn''t understand herself. Her head still ached a little, the events ofst night shed through her mind like scenes from a movie. She escaped thanks to her uncle, but soon after leaving she encountered two hooligans. For emergency, he picked up a rock and smashed up a passing car, then, he got into the car, and he was.... -Carlos? Mica''s voice was slightly hoarse, as if to verify what was on her mind, and she spoke tentatively. -What? Carlos put on his shirt and pants and buttoned his sleeves as he stepped out, looking at Mica sitting on the edge of the bed, and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Carlos'' eyes darkened.... His eyes, why did they seem to burn a little? She lowered her head with her gaze..... -Ouch! Mica grabbed the thin quilt and covered the exposed part. She was also wearing a white bathrobe and had slept all night with her neck quite open and with nothing underneath.... She looked at Carlos, embarrassed and annoyed. In fact, he had a faint smile on his face! "Damn you! How dare he take my clothes off!". Mica was so angry that she covered her chest with one hand and grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it at him. Carlos bent down and another pillow flew by..... He reached out to catch it and a third came flying by. Carlos dropped the pillows and strided forward, kneeling one foot on the edge of the bed, his big hand grabbed Mica''s as she was about to grab thest pillow.... Mica struggled and Carlos gave her a gentle push that turned her into a position where Mica was lying on her back and Carlos was on top, one hand still on her wrist. Mica''s other hand clutched at the thin nket across her chest, her pretty eyes misting over.... Carlos looked at her looking aggrieved and felt his heart soften as never before. -Stop, I asked Sofia to change your clothes! The voice was as soft as ever. -I have a very important meeting, so be a good girl and wait for me at home. With that she got up, opened the door and walked out. Mica paused, blushing a little, did she misunderstand him? But why had he slept in the same bed with her, didn''t that create a misunderstanding? Mica smoothed out her clothes and sat up, ncing around the room, which was spacious and luxurious. This was to be her master bedroom. Why set her up in this room? Mica was wondering when Sofia entered, grabbing a paper bag in her hands and cing it on the edge of the bed within Mica''s reach. -Miss, you''re awake. Here are some clothes for you. Sofia, in her early forties, was well dressed, with her hair tied back behind her head, and seemed especially kind. Mica spoke with embarrassment: -Thank you... I was just worrying about what to wear.... -Miss, don''t cut yourself, the master has prepared a light meal for you in the kitchen, soe down to eat when you are ready. Sofia went into the bathroom for a moment and soon came out. -The toiletries are ready for you, I''ll wait for you downstairs! With that she smiled and went out, closing the door behind her. Mica got out of bed, grabbed her clothes, entered the bathroom barefoot and instantly had the illusion of being blinded by the light! This bathroom was huge, bigger than her room! The floors and walls were glorious, and the bathtub was sorge! Mica put aside the idea that rich people really knew how to enjoy life, took a quick shower and put on the clothes in the bag, all the right size. The dress in particr was in, with apel cor that covered the back of the neck.... Why was the size of the underwear also correct? Mica opted to skip and not think about it. Gathering herself, Mica hurried down the stairs. The house wasrge, luxurious and decorated in a distinctly European style, upscale and particrly elegant at the same time. "Ah, that crystal light is beautiful...". Sofia saw hering down and hurried to greet her. -Mademoiselle,e eat in the dining room here. Mica hurriedly withdrew her eyes that were looking around her. -Actually, you can call me Mica! Sofia turned her head to look at her, the girl looked especially attractive. -Okay. You can call me Sofia, I''m the maid here, and I''ve seen the master grow up, although he seems like a cold person, he''s very detailed. He himself took care to make clear the preparations for your food, your clothes and everything. The gentleman had never brought a woman home before, and being already a 27-year-old man, Sofia couldn''t help but get anxious about it. His looks, his height and his condition were first ss, and there were many women who wanted to throw themselves at him, but the gentleman wouldn''t even give them a nce. Mica was so hungry that she took a spoon in her hand and noticed a red spot on his right wrist, as if from a needle.... Sofia had also noticed it. -Miss Noboa, you werepletely soaked when the gentleman brought you in yesterday, and with a high fever, the gentleman called the doctor toe and give you intravenous serum, I told him that I would take care of you, he said no, that he would watch the serum himself and change it, he did not rest until two or three o''clock! With that, he unconsciously looked at his watch. -This is the first time I''ve seen him fall asleep, the gentleman has always left at seven in the morning, and now it''s already nine in the morning? Mica''s heart was already filled with guilt..... Chapter 9 : Did You Offend Someone You ShouldnT Have Offended? Chapter 9 : Did You Offend Someone You Shouldn''T Have Offended? Chapter 9 : Did you offend someone you shouldn''t have offended? Was it 9 o''clock? Mica was in shock. It was Monday if she remembered correctly! My God, I was doing an internship at a Japanesepany and I waste! Mica hurried to eat her porridge. The porridge was hot, sticky and melted in her mouth... it was so good! Sofia smiled at her, she felt more and more fond of the girl, because she ate well, she looked like she had studied table manners. She was also very pretty, and looked great with her master.... Mica finished her breakfast under Sofia''s watchful eye. She got up to clean up, but Sofia stopped her and another maid, dressed as a servant, came forward immediately to pick up the dishes. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. -Miss Noboa, just rest! Mica had to pull her hand away and look outside through the French window of the dining room. It seemed to be a rather secluded ce.... -This is Nyisrenda, a bit far from the city. Sofia seemed to see Mica''s confusion and exined. -Sofia, I have to go to work..... Mica found herself in a bind when Carlos told her to wait here until he returned. After having saved her twice, she was ashamed to leave without saying anything, but work.... -Miss Noboa, why don''t I ask the driver to take you? There are no cabs here. Come back in the chauffeur''s car after work. If the gentleman finds out that I haven''t taken good care of you on the way back, I''m afraid... -Well, thank you Sofia! Mica said yes, it was a perfect solution. I''m sure she''ll have to thank Carlos in person and apologize to him, he was so unreasonable earlier in the room.... Mica approached the main entrance where there was a ck car parked, Sofia was exining something to the driver, seeing Mica get out, she opened the back seat door for her. Mica sat down and spoke with some uncertainty: -Sofia, when I came yesterday, did you have a purse with you? -Yes, but it got wet from the rain and was taken to theundry. Don''t worry, I''ve put your things away... Oh, and the phone.... -I''m in no hurry, I can rest easy knowing that it''s not lost. Well, if you would do me the favor of carrying it, I would appreciate it. Mica didn''t have anyone to contact either, and her aunt Marta and Andrea wouldn''t contact her for anything good. It was better that her phone had broken in the water, so they wouldn''t bother her again, and now that she had escaped, there was no way she wasing back! -Okay. Sofia looked at the driver. -Martin, drive very carefully. Miss Noboa, see youter! -See youter, Sofia! The car started slowly and left the estate. Mica gave the driver the address of thepany and ten minutester it stopped in front of a building in the city. -Miss Noboa, I''ll be waiting for you here, juste by after work! The driver kindly opened the door for her. Mica was a little anxious to get in, she was an hour and a halfte, but she talked to the driver anyway. -There''s no need, you can go home first, I leave at 5 pm,e at that time! -It''s okay, go to work, I''ll wait for you here. Mica could not convince him, so she smiled apologetically and hurried inside. The office was on the 6th floor and Mica was already panting as she stepped out of the elevator and rushed to her post. Before she could sit down, the plump Mr. Romero came over and dumped a stack of papers on the table. -Mica, you''re fired! Mica was astonished, was a dy of an hour and a half such a big deal? -I''m just a littlete. It''s not serious enough to justify dismissal, is it? Several colleagues sitting next to her also looked on in unison, and a colleague who used to have a special crush on Mica came right up. -Mr. Romero, this is the first time Mica has beente. All the others arete very often, and they only get the full-time attendance bonus deducted! -Yes, sir, Mica is a hard worker and does very well at work, so please forgive her this time! Another colleague also came out to intercede. Mica looked at them gratefully. It was touching that they were willing to stand up for her at this time, because they had not had much of a rtionship normally. Mr. Romero made a face and said angrily: -You people don''t know anything! Go back to your business! Then he addressed Mica again with a decisive tone. -You can pack your things and go, you''ll be paid until this month, you''re only an intern, it''s already a lot to be paid until this month! Mica bit her lip and looked up at the supervisor. -Mr. Romero, are you sure you''re not firing me for beingte? Please give me a reasonable exnation. Mr. Romero sighed, he too had pinned his hopes on Mica, but he couldn''t do anything about it because he was pressured by someone above him. He lowered his voice and said: -Did you offend someone you shouldn''t have offended? Mica shuddered. Who? She had always been a discreet person and had done her job in a good way, she hadn''t offended anyone! Mr. Romero shook his head, before leaving, he told her again to gather her things and leave. Some coworkers looked at Mica and did not know how to console her, they all lowered their heads to do their own thing. The ssmate who had just spoken for her reached over and patted Mica on the shoulder. -Mica, you''re a good worker, you can get a job anywhere! Mica smiled gratefully. -Thank you, Delfina. After briefly picking up some of her personal things, which were nothing more than a small cardboard box, Mica hugged the box and went out. -Mica, I''ll give you a ride! Delfina Yepes caught up with her. -Thank you. -You''re wee, I''m also very sad to see you go! When the two reached the elevator door, it opened just in time and inside were several people, the woman in the center being the most striking, wearing a strapless dress, red lipstick and sunsses. Mica was so despondent about losing her job that she didn''t notice the person had stepped out of the elevator and was approaching her. -Mica, you''re so good! A familiar voice made Mica look up? Wasn''t that woman in sunsses Adriana? How had she gotten here? Adriana became jealous when she saw how well Mica looked in a simple dress. -How could you jump from a third party? Mica was startled and thought, "Surely the guy has tied all the straps before putting the rope through the window, so he wouldn''t be found out that he had let her go." Mica sighed in relief. Adriana looked at her silently and grew even angrier, and smirked again when she saw her clutch the cardboard box in her hand. -You got kicked out, didn''t you? Mica was surprised, could it be that she...? -Yes, it''s me! Yourpany asked me to be the ambassador for your new product, and I''m going to fire anyone I don''t like! -How can you have so much power if you''re just a model! Mica looked at her questioningly. -Good question, because my boyfriend is Marcos! Adriana smirked. -Marcos is the biggest shareholder of yourpany, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. Oh, by the way, you are no longer an employee of thispany! Mica''s face had a dejected expression that could not be hidden. In other words, it was Marcos who gave her this power? -Miss Elvira, you are here,e on,e on, this way please! The manager came to greet Adriana, who was Mr. Franco''s girlfriend and was not to be treated lightly. Adriana looked at her smugly, the sadder she looked, the better Adriana felt. She whispered in Mica''s ear: -Mica, I''m sure you''lle back crying and begging! Chin up, she walked proudly with the manager, followed by a line of staff behind her. Mica took a deep breath, raised her head and said loudly: -You dream! Adriana, standing up and without turning around, replied: -Then we''ll see! Chapter 10 : You Can Rest In Your Room From Last Night! Chapter 10 : You Can Rest In Your Room From Last Night! Chapter 10 : You can rest in your room fromst night! Mica entered the elevator with long strides. Delfina followed her and stood next to Mica. -Mica, how do you know Adriana? She doesn''t look like she does on TV! She''s so rude she doesn''t deserve to be called an innocent girl! Mica was silent and not many knew she was Adriana''s cousin. Delfina also didn''t notice Mica''s silence and spoke to herself. -Mica, you see Adriana, who until now was little famous, has gotten a lot of work since her scandal with Marcos, one of our shareholders! You see, she has also been asked to be the ambassador of our new products, I guess it''s because of Mr. Franco? Turns out he had been rumored to be with Adriana for a long time... Mica never paid attention to entertainment news, so it was ridiculous that she was thest to know.... Marcos also helped Adriana kick her out of work.... A bitter feeling arose in Mica''s heart. -Mica, this is as far as I''ll go with you. Write me whenever you want! The elevator door opened and Delfina''s voice broke her thoughts. -Thank you, Delfina. -You''re wee, let me know when you find a new job, cheer up! See you again! -Yes! -Bye! Mica got out and the ck car was literally still parked where before. The driver saw her get out and hurried to get out of the car and open the back seat. Mica sat down, depressed. Why in the end, after three years together, was he so cruel to even take away her only job? She really used to feel that Marcos loved him, but why did he go to such extremes...? Micaughed at herself in her heart for not having recognized his true side until now. If she still held some hope for Marcos before, at this moment, it had all vanished. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Seeing that Mica had not exined where she was going, the chauffeur drove the car directly to the mansion. Mica got out of the car, bathed in sunshine, and looked at the luxurious vi in front of her, feeling as if she were in a dream. She no longer had a home, her boyfriend had cheated on her, and she had been fired from her job.... And all thanks to Adriana! Mica''s heart fluttered with rage and she hated herself for being so weak. Sofia hurried to greet as soon as she saw the car enter, taking Mica towards the house and smiling. -Mrs. Noboa, are you back so soon? The gentleman just called to ask for you! Mica calmed her thoughts and looked at Sofia. -What did he ask? -He was just worried about whether you had eaten and what you were doing. I told her that you had already eaten and that the driver had sent you to work, and she hung up! -Oh... -It''s almost lunchtime, so take a break on the couch and I''ll take care of the kitchen. Mica nodded and saw that, on the center table, was her phone charging. She sat down and turned it on, the phone started vibrating from WhatsApp messages, missed calls.... She had three missed calls from her aunt Marta, and forty missed calls from Marcos!.... The phone suddenly rang and the screen read: Marcos. Mica''s fingers twitched at the thought of what she had done, and without hesitation, she hung up and blocked his number. When she opened WhatsApp, the first message was from Marcos, he had sent hundreds of messages, Mica didn''t even look at them, she just deleted the conversation and then blocked him again.... After all this, Mica still felt a sense of loss, an indescribable feeling of helplessness and itchy eyes.... -Miss Noboa, time to eat! Sofia went over to call her. Mica went with her, but she had ate breakfast and was in a bad mood, so she didn''t have much appetite, so she ate hurriedly and left. -Sofia, I''m a little tired, can you prepare a room for me to rest? -Miss Noboa, you can rest in your room fromst night! -Sofia spoke quite naturally. Mica was in a bind. -I don''t think it''s the right thing to do, that should be your master''s bedroom? Sofia also looked like she was in a dilemma. -Miss Noboa, you will have to settle for that, the master has not given you another room, and we as servants have no right to arrange one for you. Make do? Mica did not know what expression to put on her face and had to go upstairs. She was very upset, and since she had a high fever just yesterday, she now felt a little dizzy, so she thought, "Well, I''m going to lie down for a while and get up before Carloses back!". The sheets were covered with his scent, Mica found it quite pleasant, and it seemed to be quite soothing, because in no time she fell asleep. Carlos left work on time for the first time, arriving home at 6:15 pm. Sofia greeted him, with much excitement, "Everything seems better when there is a hostess in the house! Even the gentleman is back on time because he misses her". Before, he didn''te back until 10 o''clock. -Where is he? Carlos handed Sofia his jacket, his eyes looked around and did not see the figure he wanted to see. -Miss Noboa went back to her room for a break at noon and hasn''t been down since, she''s probably in her room! -said Sofia cheerfully. Seeing that Carlos was waiting for her to say something else, he immediately intervened: -He''s in his room! Go up and see, it''s almost dinner time! -Good. Carlos turned around and went upstairs. As he opened the door to the room, the air was filled with the scent of her body and Carlos felt the restlessness in his heart of wanting to see her slowly subside. Carlos approached, but since the carpet was quite thick, his footsteps could not be heard. He positioned himself at the head of the bed, looking at her. She slept on her side, her hair falling on the clean white pillows, her breathing even, her long eyshes like festoons, casting a small shadow under her eyes. Carlos sat on the edge of the bed, his hand feeling her forehead, she was fine, the temperature was normal, there should be no more fever. Looking a little uneasy or was it a sign of awakening, she shifted slightly.... -Marcos... Marcos.... Mica spat the name under her breath. Carlos frowned and his hand couldn''t help but retract. Who was it? She was calling a man! Carlos felt furious, he had been thinking about her all day and had even been distracted a couple of times in meetings, causing his best friend tough. He wanted toe back at noon, but Sofia said she had gone to work, so he brushed that idea off. Carlos was so angry that he didn''t notice that Mica''s eyes were open. Mica frowned as she saw the man sitting in front of her and unconsciously touched the clothes he was wearing.... -Carlos... Carlos returned her gaze and she sat up, keeping him at a distance, her eyes a little lost, and her cheeks rosy.... Carlos stood up. -If you''re awake, clean yourself up and go downstairs for dinner. Having said this, he left the room. Carlos went into the study next door, closed the door, took out his cell phone and dialed the number. -Sir... -Find out who Marcos is! -Just a name? What more information...? -Isn''t that enough? Carlos turned up the volume. Diego shouted inwardly, remembering the information he had sought today, he supposed that this Carlos would have something to do with Mica, and he hurried to answer: -Yes that''s enough, sir, I''ll give you an answer right away. And you have already been sent what you asked me to investigatest night. Carlos hung up the phone and walked over to the printer, where there was a cue of information. Carlos picked it up and looked at it carefully. Chapter 11 : Someone Was Deliberately Covering Up Something. Chapter 11 : Someone Was Deliberately Covering Up Something. Chapter 11 : Someone was deliberately covering up something. Mica washed up and went downstairs, where a sumptuous dinner was already set on the table. There was no sign of Carlos... -Miss Noboa, you are here, where is the gentleman? -asked Sofia. -I don''t know, hasn''t hee down yet? Sofia turned immediately to set the table. -Could you go upstairs and call? He must be in the study. It''s the one next to the bedroom. Oh, I''ll take this te and wash it..... Mica was a little speechless, her reaction was too obvious, wasn''t it? "But he and I are not what you think we are...". Biting her lip, she went upstairs anyway. There was a knock at the door and Carlos quietly answered toe in. Mica pushed open the door and peeked in only halfway. The study was spacious, surrounded by tall bookshelves with neatly arranged books. Carlos was sitting behind a desk by the window, some kind of document in his hand. He frowned, watching intently, not realizing it was Mica who had pushed open the door. The origin of this little girl was a bit strange, and the information that had been obtained so far was very simple. She came to Tdia thirteen years ago, when she was 8 or 9 years old.... Currently in an adoptive rtionship by the Elvira''s. No further information was avable, only a one sentence summary: he moved to the city from Zyalen Province. With parents deceased due to a car ident. Information about the parents was also scarce and was basically exined in a few sentences. Did Diego do a bad job or was someone deliberately covering something up? Carlos had a rough idea of what happenedst night, and surveince showed that she was sent to the Property ? N?velDrama.Org. hotel by her Aunt Marta.... -Carlos, dinner is ready! Mica shouted a second time before Carlos looked up and saw Mica standing in the doorway, looking at him. He looked at Mica with a slightly questioning look.... Mica tightened her skirt, a little unsure what to do. Carlos put down the information, got up, with big strides and stood in front of Mica. Mica thought she was too close and tried to back up a little, but Carlos grabbed her, and with a twist, Mica had her back to the wall and to her right, Carlos'' arm resting on the wall! He was wrapping his arm around her? Mica shook her head slightly. -Carlos, what are you doing? Sofia told me toe upstairs and call you for dinner! Carlos looked at her, the little girl just reached her shoulders, and her face from this angle was so cute, with her delicate nose, her little red mouth and her long eyshes that moved softly like little fans. -Mica? -Carlos pronounced her name with an elongated pronunciation. Mica looked at him and looked away again. -What...? What the fuck! Don''t get so close... Mica tried to reach out and push him away, but stopped when she heard his question. -Have we met somewhere before? Carlos smelled her scent and there was a very strong sense of familiarity. But the information he had about after their arrival in Tdia was very detailed, they really didn''t know each other before. And where did this familiaritye from? Mica couldn''t help but look at him, her deep eyes were serious and scrutinizing, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Did this problem bother him much? -No! I''ve never seen you before. Mica answered in the affirmative. A slight disappointment arose in Carlos''s heart because they really had no rtionship before.... Thinking about her encounter with him, Mica lowered her head and slightly lowered her voice. -I really thank you for two nights ago, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! Carlos kept looking at her, and at that moment she was a little overwhelmed, which gave him the idea to tease her. -?Y? Mica looked at his expression, hoping he wouldn''t say something about marrying him or something, she wouldn''t know how to react. -And, I''m sorry I broke your car and threw a pillow at you this morning? -Yeah! You went a little overboard, how could you do that to the one who saved you? Mica felt even more embarrassed and blurted out: -I''m sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you had taken my clothes off..... At this point, Mica stopped hurriedly, this was not a good topic, Mica bit her lower lip hard.... Carlos grabbed Mica''s chin and lifted her head slightly, his eyes shone with an unfamiliar light. -Rx! -Carlos whispered. -Huh? -Mica didn''t understand. -Loosen your teeth, don''t bite. Mica, for some reason, lost the rhythm of her heart when she looked into his deep eyes and unconsciously loosened her teeth.... The red lips were slightly swollen because she was biting before... How red and how beautiful! Carlos felt he was losing control, he wanted to taste her red lips again.... -Sir! Dinner is ready... Seeing that they werete ining down, Sofia had to go up herself, and when she reached the stairs, she saw the spectacle in front of her and covered her mouth violently. Startled, Mica pushed Carlos away with great force and ran towards the stairs, blushing. Sofia was so guilty that she didn''t dare look at Carlos. Carlos approached her at a brisk pace. -Sofia. Sofia frowned and answered shyly: -Yes, sir.... -You will get a raise this month! After saying this Carlos also went downstairs. Sofia looked incredulous and then very happy. "That''s it! Sir just needs a partner, look how human he is now! I don''t really care much about the raise! What makes me happy is to see the gentleman so happy!". Mica flew down the stairs and ran straight to the dining room. "What had happened to me! How could that happen! Ahhh! How embarrassing!" When she reached the table, she sat down directly where she had eaten breakfast in the morning. Sofia saw him on the stairs and wanted to stop her because it was the main seat, where the gentleman usually sat, but seeing that the gentleman was sitting across from Mica without a care in the world, she let him pass. Fuck the main seat! Only when Carlos sat down in front of her did Mica realize that she had taken the wrong seat, as she was in such a hurry that she hadn''t noticed. As she watched Carlos take the silverware to eat as if nothing had happened, she thought that maybe her family didn''t have that concept. Mica ate all the food with her head down, not even daring to look at Carlos. Carlos'' mouth curved into a smile at her shyness. The maid and Sofia, who were in the kitchen watching, shook hands excitedly. -Look how charming and pretty our lord is when he smiles... Ah, that melts my heart..... -I totally agree with you! -Look, the gentleman is feeding Miss Noboa! Mica, at the table, waspletely unaware that her every move with Carlos was being watched by the eyes of the others. Mica had almost finished eating and looked at Carlos to see that he was also looking at her and hurried to look away. -Did you finish? I have something to tell you. Carlos wiped his mouth with his napkin. -Well, it turns out I have something to tell you too. Mica looked at Carlos startled, what was he going to say? -Then you go first. Mica couldn''t help thinking, "Don''t let him tell me about marrying him or something like that....". Carlos thought, "Well, this is the sort of thing that, of course, is more appropriately said by a man." Chapter 12 : Stay With Me! Chapter 12 : Stay With Me! Chapter 12 : Stay with me! He cleared his throat, with an unnatural expression. -Stay with me! Whether they had known each other before or not, Carlos decided that, in the future, they would have to have some kind of rtionship. For the first time, he met a woman he was interested in and, with her fragrant scent, fascinated him.... He had absolute self-confidence and, from the way she had reacted earlier upstairs, she must have had feelings for him as well. It was a bit sudden, but he had always done things in a straightforward way and, given his current situation, he should ept it willingly. Carlos thought that way... Mica stood up with a start. -No! The answer came without hesitation. Her heart was beating fast and her mind was in chaos. She wasn''t sure what Carlos meant about staying with him, but she was panicking! Regardless of the other criteria, she knew that Carlos was a sessful man living in the upper ss of society, whereas she was just an adoptee? And, perhaps, he simply saw her as a toy for the rich to pass the time when they were bored? He was afraid he would end up heartbroken if he gave his sincerity. Before Sophia, who had just arrived at the dining room door, could congratte on the gentleman''s enlightenment, she was taken aback by Mica''s response! "Wow, she didn''t even hesitate to say no, so only I was excited!". Carlos'' face couldn''t have been worse, he looked like he wanted to throw his anger away, but he couldn''t. It was the first time he had ever asked that of a woman! He couldn''t believe she had turned him down! -I... Mr. Aguayo, I''m sorry. I have to go, thank you for your hospitality and for saving my life, I''ll pay you for the car repair when I can! Having said that, he hurried towards the door, as if he was running away from some monster. Mr. Aguayo? Carlos'' hands clenched into a fist and he didn''t say a word. Sofia hurried to grab Mica''s hand. -Miss Noboa, what''s wrong? Weren''t you all right a moment ago? Mr.... -Sofia, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your care, see you again! He released Sofia''s hand to leave. -My daughter, it''s getting dark, it''s not safe for a girl to go alone. I''ll prepare a guest room for you on the first floor, so you can sleep tonight, and I''ll take you with me tomorrow when I go shopping, is that all right? Mica''s fast-beating heart was somehow calmed by Sofia''s words. It took ten minutes by car to get to town, and much longer if it was walking. It was really unsafe, and she''d had enough with the two hooligansst night.... Sofia saw her hesitate and hurried to pull her towards the guest room. Mica looked back at Carlos, who was still in the same position as before, sitting with his back to her, not speaking. Mica saw that he did not object and went with Sofia to the guest room. It was only when she heard the door close that Carlos took a deep breath, got up and went upstairs. He was very irritable, very annoyed, and it made her want to pull her hair out, but then she couldn''t help but wonder if he had been too hasty and that had scared her off. Or had she expressed herself incorrectly? Couldn''t she have said that about staying with him? What should she have said? "Damn it...". For the first time, Carlos hated the fact that he had no experience in rtionships, because that didn''t help him at all! As he entered the study, he saw new informationing out of the printer. Carlos suddenly remembered the name Mica had just uttered in her sleep. Was it because of him? Carlos felt even worse. He picked up the information, which was a pile of sheets, and thought, "Apparently Diego''s got his act together, has he gotten everyst detail of his life out of me this time?" He read it quickly. Marcos Franco... Property ? N?velDrama.Org. The second son of the Franco Group... The more Carlos read it, the angrier he got. Wasn''t it obvious that he was scum? He started courting her in the first year of college, they dated in the second, and in between their rtionship he cheated on her countless times! Was Mica blind or what? How could she not know he was such a guy? Seeing to the end, she frowned, was that Adriana his current girlfriend? Wasn''t Adriana Mica''s cousin? *** Carlos seemed to instantly understand why Mica had rejected him. He must have found out that this Marcos was a despicable guy and now he was afraid of getting his heart broken again. Carlos'' anger gradually subsided for the most part. Thest of his remaining sheets told of Marcos'' hotel check-in with his mistresses. Carlos''s brow furrowed, there were a dozen pages, but not a single record of him and Mica in sight! Carlos was suddenly relieved. "Jum, at least she hasn''t been so foolish as to get carried away by that Marcos to the hotel. She deserves what I''m doing for her." These words floated through Carlos'' mind. "She deserves to try again! This time I have to control the pace and not scare her off." There was a whirring sound and a new sheet of paper came out of the printer. Was there still some left? Carlos picked up the sheet, the contents were brief: Mica had been fired this morning from thepany where she was interning, actually it was secret orders from Adriana and Marcos. It was no wonder that Sofia said she went to work but went back to sleep all afternoon. What a miserable situation she was in! Carlos left the sheet on the table and looked out the window with a somewhat intriguing look.... The next day, Mica got up and went to the kitchen to look for Sofia. In fact, she hadn''t slept much all night, thinking about what had happened to her in thest two days and being so upset that she only squinted for a while when it was almost dawn. -Miss Noboa, you''re up, I''m going to get your breakfast! Sofia, who was still smiling kindly, saw Mica''s doubtful look and, knowing what she wanted to ask, said at once: -Mr. went out early, I think he has an emergency at thepany! -Ah, okay. Mica felt relieved. She really didn''t know how to face him, she was so grateful for him, but without being able to return the favor.... After breakfast, Mica was determined to leave with her backpack on her. Sofia brought a bag and handed it to Mica. Mica wondered and looked at it, they were the dresses she had changed the day before and yesterday, already washed and dried and smelling of detergent. Now she was wearing a new dress, she woke up in the morning and saw this next to her, she guessed that Sofia put it on? -Sofia, the dress.... -Miss Noboa, don''t worry, they are my daughter''s, she spends money on them and doesn''t wear them, I have taken some good ones for you, take them, it''s okay! Mica looked at Sofia... After all she was a veteran in life, she could see that she was in a difficult situation and had even prepared clothes for her to change into. Mica was moved. Sofia, seeing how moved she was, was about to say that, in fact, the gentleman had prepared all this! Chapter 13 : I WasnT 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. 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.... Chapter 14 : Congratulations On Making It To Marriage Chapter 14 : Congrattions On Making It To Marriage Chapter 14 : Congrattions on making it to marriage Reality was always so cruel and the p in the face was always so unexpected. Mica had been to many ces for five days in a row and hade up empty-handed. -I''m sorry, we''ve already found someone! -We want more than 3 years of relevant work experience, sorry! -I don''t think you fit the profile we are looking for, see you again! *** As Mica walked through the crowded shopping streets, she began to doubt her own abilities and even wondered if Marcos had secretly plugged her for her job from before.... It couldn''t be, she never told him she was going to interview anywhere, and only when she left that In front of her was arge jewelry store with a job advertisement on the door. Mica looked at the time, it was almost 5 o''clock.... "Will there be someone to interview me?". But these stores were open at night, so to go in and ask! Mica didn''t have it in her mind to look for face-to-face jobs, it wasn''t that she discriminated that kind of work, but she had done a simr job before! Because of her striking looks and a bit of light makeup, she always had people around her with very obvious intentions, and eventually she gave up the idea of doing that kind of work. But in recent days, life had forced her to learn to keep her head down. Her profession was jewelry design and appraisal, and she could take that selling jewelry as a good way to research the market. Mica settled down and pushed open the door. After several interviews and written tests, the store manager was particrly pleased with her and couldn''t stop nodding his head. Her looks, temperament, and education were far above and beyond the position! The store manager was eager to hire her. Mica was also relieved to finally have a job. The store manager approached with the contract and was suddenly called over by a man in a suit uniform who whispered something in her ear, and the manager looked at Mica with a quizzical look on his face.... Mica immediately had a bad feeling.... -Miss Noboa, I''m sorry, we can''t hire you! The director apologized, thinking in his mind: "Oh, it''s a pity...". Mica''s heart sank to the bottom, but she smiled back, got up and headed outside. With a discreet nce at the full-length mirror on the wall, which reflected the vip reception room on the other side of the room, Mica turned and looked. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. The door was open and the figure of the woman inside looked especially familiar. Mica rounded the corner. The woman inside spoke with her usual smug tone: -Ha ha ha, that''s it, you''ve done very well! -Thank you, Miss Elvira. The man''s voice was especially ttering. -You must inform all the stores that she is not to be hired! -Yes, yes, yes, yes! -Well, if not, the Elvira Group and the Franco Group.... -Don''t worry, Miss Elvira, we won''t offend Grupo Franco because of a simple employee! -I am a super VIP of your store, if you offend me, I will go to yourpetitors and give them more business. -We are at your service, Miss Elvira. I will advise that Miss Noboa is not to be hired at any time. Mica was standing in front of the door and heard it loud and clear. It turned out that this was all about Adriana! It seemed that all thepanies he had gone to in thest few days, where he had been turned down, had been because of her. The words she whispered in his ear a few days ago echoed in his ears. "Mica, you''re sure toe back crying and begging!". Mica clenched her fists angrily, was this what he was doing to make here back crying begging him? Begging him to send her to an old lord''s bed? Adriana turned suddenly and saw Mica at the door, without the slightest hint of guilt, and with a smile on her face and her arms crossed, she approached slowly and slowly. -Mica, how are you? Mica stroked the long hair around her ears, with a slight smile on her face. -Thanks to you, I''m doing very well! But you, with your new job as ambassador, howe you have time to go out at this hour? Adriana frowned, they cancelled her ambassador role for no reason, she wasn''t announced to the public, Mica couldn''t know that! -Well, I''vee to choose some jewelry for my engagement to Marcos! -Well, congrattions on making it to the wedding. Mica spoke calmly. Adriana hated her calm look, how could she be so calm when she was homeless, had been dumped by her boyfriend and couldn''t find a job! -I''ll ept your blessing for now. I can''t help it, I''m blessed by God and Ick nothing. I can''t put myself in your shoes, because I''ve never experienced that of having nothing. -I have nothing, and it''s all thanks to you! Mica''s tone was still calm when she said this. -Ha, ha, ha, what am I going to be so capable, it''s Marcos, he supports me incredibly in everything I do, he says, as long as I''m happy, I can do whatever I want, heh, heh, heh..... Mica looked away, she already knew very well what kind of person Marcos was, and now that she knew it, she didn''t feel anything anymore... -Mica, beg me, I might give you a job if I''m in a good mood! Mica looked at Adriana''s face of hypocrisy, she would rather starve to death than beg her! She turned to leave, but the moment she did, she saw the door of the jewelry store open from outside and the person entering was none other than Marcos. The store manager and the manager approached to wee him into the vip room with a hunched back. -Marcos, you''re here. I can''t pick out an engagement ring without you. Adriana stepped forward and took Marcos'' arm, showing off proudly to Mica, not noticing that her boyfriend was now looking at Mica with aplicated expression. Mica felt dirty with one look at Marcos and turned to leave. -Mica, there''s no hurry, I haven''t chosen the engagement ring yet,e and help me! Adriana said to stop her. With that she seemed to get along great with Mica and walked out to the counter with her left arm around Mica and her right arm around Marcos to look at the jewelry. Mica pulled her hand away, wasn''t she trying to be irritating, did she think she was afraid of him? -I am a connoisseur of jewelry and I will be sure to pick out the perfect outfit for you, something that will bring out your natural beauty. Adriana was a little taken aback by thepliment. The store manager and director were in the back, serving tea and nodding their heads and doing their best to serve these two great characters. Mark''s eyes kept roaming over Mica, with the feeling that she had be someone different. She was already attractive, and now, it was simply impossible to take his eyes off her. -Come on, beautiful, show me this ring and this ne! Mica looked at a white gold set with pearls on the counter and beckoned to the sales clerk. Chapter 15 : What Are You Doing In Public? Chapter 15 : What Are You Doing In Public? Chapter 15 : What are you doing in public? The waiter carefully pulled out the jewelry set Mica had mentioned. Adriana nced at the jewelry set and liked it very much, thinking to herself that Mica had a good eye. Mica personally handed Adriana her ne and ring. The sales clerk brought the mirror closer. Adriana was so taken with the jewelry sparkling on her body that she turned around to show it to her boyfriend. -Marcos, do they fit? Marcos was quick to avert his eyes from Mica and smiled at Adriana in response. -Beautiful. -Wait, the pearls are a little dark, I''m afraid the raw material is not perfect and the polishing has lost its shine, let''s see something else. Being informed by Mica, Adriana also felt that it was less shiny. After looking at several sets in a row, she thought they all looked good, but finally Mica said this one didn''t work, it didn''tplement her temperament, and neither did this one, although it looked good, the style was too old.... Adriana was about to lose her patience when Mica suddenly looked at a set of jewelry on the counter and froze. The sales clerk immediately pulled out the set. -You have wonderful taste, this one is unique in all of Tdia, and the diamonds are? -I understand. Mica interrupted her words and picked up one of the rings. The ring was white gold with a pink diamond in the center, a fine pink diamond, extremely well made and without a single w, just like the ne and the bracelet, which were perfect. Adriana''s eyes widened and she was more than in love with those jewels. Marcos looked at Mica, who was looking intently at the ring, and couldn''t help but think: "Do you like it? I''ll give it to you if you marry me...". -Adriana, choose this one. Look, there is a man''s ring of the same style, simple and generous. Here, put it on my brother-inw! Mica ced the ring on Adriana''s hand with sincerity in her eyes and without a trace of jealousy. This jewel in love best represents the symbolism of the designer. She was trying to tease Adriana, but when she saw the jewelry, she looked away suddenly.... Adriana had mixed feelings, on the one hand, she wanted to irritate Mica, on the other hand, she really liked the jewelry she had chosen and in fact called Marcos brother-inw.... Marcos felt a blockage of air in his chest that left him breathless. Adriana put the ring on and excitedly went to put on the rest of the jewelry. Without moving, Marcos stood behind Mica and bent down to ask: -Mica, why did you block me? I... Mica spun around and walked next to Adriana, treating Marcos as if he were invisible. Adriana was so happy and in love that she didn''t even look up. -Marcos, this one, I like this one. Marcos felt annoyed and nodded his head randomly. -Wrap it up! The sales clerk was immediately cheerful and ready to check out. -Mr. Franco, this set of jewelry is 19, 000, with card? 19, 000? Marcos paused in his gesture to take out his wallet. Micaughed inwardly, the moment hade to witness his love. Inadvertently, she looked through the ss wall facing the street, but saw, standing outside the window, a slender figure. The man was dressed in a gray suit, white shirt, no tie, hands in his pants pockets, looking very casual, with deep eyes, looking at her.... Mica''s heart suddenly beat so fast that she could not move her eyes and mentally recited: "Carlos...". Marcos felt anguished, 19. 000? He was in a bit of a dilemma, if it was in the past, he would have bought it, but he had recently invested in several projects and suddenly he started to lose money, now if he was going to spend that much money, he was afraid he wouldn''t be able to manage his funds well? But then he looked at Adriana, who was delighted to have bought the jewelry he wanted. This woman was so in love with him that he couldn''t look bad in front of her. With another look at Mica, "You don''t answer my calls and you block me, I''ll show you what you''re missing...". Marcos pulled out his card and dropped it on the ss counter. The sales clerk standing by the door opened the ss doors and in walked Carlos, followed by Diego. Mica bit her lip, not knowing how to face him, she just looked away, pretending not to know him, and Property ? N?velDrama.Org. looked at the jewelry on the counter. Carlos turned directly to Mica. Mica saw his figure approaching her in the reflection of the ss counter and hurried to escape. She had barely taken a step when Carlos extended his long arms and leaned on either side of the counter, trapping her in his arms. Mica, unable to escape, sat down in the high chair next to him for the customers to sit down and choose. Mica looked up in fright and caught a glimpse of Carlos'' deep-set eyes.... Carlos'' low voice, like that of a cello, said unhurriedly: -Is this your attitude when you see the one who saved you? Huh? Mica shrank back, her hands cupping her skirt. -Carlos, what are you doing out in public...? "Well, at least you didn''t call me Mr. Aguayo!". Carlos poked his head out, smelling the fragrance of Mica''s body and curving his mouth. -You mean I can do whatever I want if it''s not in public? Mica shook her head. -No, no, that''s definitely not what I meant! -Then what do you mean? Mica blushed and simply ducked and slipped out from under Carlos'' armpits. Carlos turned around with a smile and saw her running towards Adriana? Using her as a shield at this point? While Carlos was busy teasing the lovely little girl, Diego had approached the jewelry set Adriana had his eye on. -Miss, please wrap this set of jewelry for me. The waiter was a little confused. -Sir, I''m sorry, but Miss Elvira and Mr. Franco have already chosen this set and they are already paying for it. -Have you paid for it? The sales clerk was operating the dataphone, she had tried it three times, the machine was fine, and she looked at Marcos. -Mr. Franco, you have a card with a low bnce? -Then give it to me," said Diego. The director and the store manager met immediately, what a big shot this guy was! As if reading their doubts, Diego said: -My lord liked it and wants to give it to the girl he likes. Marcos, a little embarrassed, hastened to exim: -I saw it first, so it''s mine! -I just got the wrong card. Here, take this one! Mica, although she didn''t recognize Diego as the driver that rainy night, had seen him enter with Carlos, so she immediately thought that the man she was talking about was Carlos. A girl he liked? So he already had a girl in mind, and how was it that he said those words to her the other time? Chapter 16 : The Girl I Like! Chapter 16 : The Girl I Like! Chapter 16 : The girl I like! Mica felt a strange emotion rise inexplicably inside her. The manager looked at Carlos, who was inspecting the store, and sure enough, he had a great aura! But he could not recognize who it was, so he asked again: -Your lord what family is he from? Diego shook his head. -I can''t tell you. The manager thought about it, he didn''t know who that man was, but Mr. Franco, whom he knew very well, was always generous and often brought femalepanions to buy things, he couldn''t offend him! -I''m sorry, sir, but it''s firste, first served, and Miss Elvira arrived before you. Diego was in no hurry, he smiled and nodded his head. -Well, let her pay first. Adriana shot a smug look at Diego, "Ha! And you want topete with me?". -I''m sorry, Mr. Franco, your card doesn''t have enough credit. The sales clerk was embarrassed and secretly looked at Marcos. Adriana looked at Marcos in surprise. Marcos pulled out another in a bit of a panic, looking at Mica as he did so, "Good, she''s not paying attention to my embarrassment." -There''s more here, here! -Don''t force it, sir, leave it to me if you don''t have enough money! -said Diego with a smile. -What do you say! Today I went out with the wrong wallet and these cards don''t have enough money. Marcos spoke in a loud voice, as if not to make himself look bad. "This set of jewelry has been in storage for a week because it is expensive, people just looked at it and drooled, they couldn''t afford it, what is it today that there are two people fighting over it?", the sales clerk looked at the two men and thought. The ss door was pushed open again and a fat man in a ck suit breezed in. The director, startled, rushed out to meet him. -Vice President, why did youe here unannounced? -Go away! The vice president ran to Diego and shook his hand. -Mr. Ocampo, I didn''t know you were here, so I''m sorry for theck of hospitality, those guys didn''t recognize you, they are ignorant. -You are very kind, Mr. Ordonez! My lord liked this set of jewelry.... Mr. Ordonez looked at Carlos, he saw that he had no intention of talking to him, he knew that Carlos, the president of the Aguayo Group, had always been discreet and never appeared easily in any newspaper, and he nodded with understanding. -Mr. Aguayo has done us a great favor by taking an interest in a product from this little shop. Laia, wrap it up for this gentleman for me! Adriana and Marcos looked at the scene in front of them in surprise? He was giving away 19, 000 worth of jewelry as if it were nothing? The sales clerk quickly wrapped it up. -Thank you, Mr. Ordonez, but you don''t have to give it to us. -It would be a pleasure to give something to Mr. Aguayo... -Mr. Ordonez, right? -How do you do business? I saw it first and we are paying for it, how can you give it to someone else! Adriana couldn''t help screaming. Mr. Ordonez frowned, who was that woman? The manager was quick to exin that it was Grupo Elvira''s daughter, Adriana. -Miss Elvira, right? Please don''te to my store again, we don''t do business with you! -Mr. Ordonez looked at her out of the corner of his eye and said. -You! Adriana was furious and Marcos felt humiliated, how could she be intimidated like that when she was still his girlfriend! -Mr. Ordonez, do you want to do business right or not? Marcos was putting on the attitude as if he was a rich man! Mr. Ordonez looked at Marcos, whom he knew, but,pared to Mr. Aguayo, he was nothing; nevertheless, as he was a regr customer of the store, he politely said to him: -Mr. Franco, I am sorry, we are not going to sell you this set of jewelry, look at the other models in the store, I will give you a 20% discount! -Who wants your 20% discount! I want this set! Just when I was about to say that I wasn''t going to sell it to him, Carlos came over. -Diego, let him pay. Carlos had an amazing memory, and thest time he checked, he clearly remembered that he couldn''t pay that money! Marcos got even more cocky. -See, they''re the ones who don''t have any money! Diego smiled and looked at Mr. Ordonez. -Then let him pay first! Mr. Ordonez was a little confused, what was it all about? Marcos thought they would leave, but who would have thought that the two of them were staring at each other. He unconsciously nced at Mica, who was also looking wide-eyed. -What''s with this sales clerk? Is she stupid? Can''t you swipe all three cards together or what? -Marcos shouted at the clerk. Less than half a minuteter, the sales clerk''s faint voice rang out. -I''m sorry, Mr. Franco, you can''t even get through all three.... Adriana was shocked and tried to pull out her own card to help, she was restrained by Marcos, "It wouldn''t be more humiliating if she had to pay!". -Hold on a moment, I''ll have it brought now! -said Marcos and was about to pull out his phone. Mr. Ordonez could not stand the scene any longer. -Mr. Franco, it''s not necessary, I''m not going to sell you this set of jewelry! -What? You want to sell it to him? Marcos thought: "This man says he wants to buy it, but he won''t pay for it, so maybe this Mr. Ordonez owes him a favor and wants to pay for it with jewelry. He must be poor! Property ? N?velDrama.Org. -I''ll take it. -Carlos spoke weakly. Diego immediately took a card out of his pocket and ced it gently on the ss counter. A ck card! No limit! Everyone was very surprised. Mica bit her lip, she had heard of the Unlimited ck Card, a symbol of status and position, there were no more than 5 in all of Tdia. She knew it must be of the upper ss, but she hadn''t expected it to be so powerful.... It was simply unattainable... Marcos gritted his teeth, what was the origin of this man? Mr. Ordonez, bowing slightly, smiled at Carlos and said to him: -Mr. Aguayo, I give you this set of jewelry.... -It''s not necessary, you just have to pass the card! Carlos denied with a cold voice. Mica observed his distant and cold look and felt that there was something different between his way of treating her and the others.... The card was swiped with a beep, the ticket came out and the sales clerk sorted things out and put them on the counter. -Sir, your jewelry. Carlos looked at Diego and Diego immediately stepped back. Carlos stepped forward, picked up the bag and turned to look at Mica. Mica was surprised, "What did he want to do!". Carlos looked at her with an incredulous expression and found it inexplicably cute.... Mica''s eyes widened and her heart was beating fast, she wanted to run away, but her feet were immobile and she could not move, she could not turn her head away looking at the smile in his eyes.... Carlos stood in front of Mica, took her hand and put the strap of the bag. -For you. He moved a little closer and whispered in her ear. -The girl I like! Hot breath sprayed behind her ears, making Mica frown. So, the girl he liked was her? Mica was so shocked that she forgot how to react.... Chapter 17 : Do You Feel Like Being Kissed? Huh? Chapter 17 : Do You Feel Like Being Kissed? Huh? Chapter 17 : Do you feel like being kissed? Huh? The manager and the store manager were very worried, wondering if they had indirectly offended Mr. Aguayo by refusing the girl''s request to work here, after all, even Mr. Ordonez was afraid of this Mr. Aguayo. Adriana, for her part, was fuming with jealousy that the jewelry set, which she had had her eye on, had been given to Mica.... Marcos'' fists clenched tightly, he was very embarrassed today, did he and Mica know each other? What was their rtionship? Carlos felt in a good mood seeing Mica''s ears even reddening... that cute and naive look was just for him! He grabbed Mica''s wrist and took off in long strides. Diego nodded to Mr. Ordonez and followed him to the exit, and Mr. Ordonez apanied him to the door with his back hunched until he was out of sight.... Carlos dragged Mica down the bustling shopping street as night began to fall. It was a pedestrian street and parking was not allowed. Mica tried several times, but couldn''t pull her hand away from Carlos. Passersby gave them all kinds of looks and Mica was so embarrassed that she just wanted to hide. -My hand hurts! -cried Mica timidly. In fact, she had just the right amount of strength and it didn''t hurt, she just wanted Carlos to let go of her hand. True to his style, Carlos stopped and let go of her wrist, and before Mica could withdraw her hand, Carlos squeezed her small hand tighter. Really small andfortable to hold in her hand. Mica couldn''t help but blush again, letting herself be passively pulled by him as she continued to walk forward, watching hisrge hand envelop hers, and inexplicably feeling a warm current run through her heart.... As they turned off the pedestrian street, the silver-gray Cayenne waited at the curb. Carlos opened the driver''s door and the driver was stunned. -Mr. Aguayo... -Get out! The driver hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt. Carlos unlocked Mica on the passenger side and gestured with his eyes for her to get in. Mica turned around and leaned her back against the car, not wanting to get in. -Carlos, where are you taking me? I don''t want to go! Her eyes had panic written in them. "Mica,e to your senses, she''s such a dignified person, she''s not someone you can have-". Carlos lowered his head, one hand on the open car door and the other still holding her hand tightly. - "If you don''t get in the car, I''ll kiss you right here and now. Mica didn''t even dare to breathe, looking at his serious expression, the two faces were close together, out of the corner of her eye she saw that people were already stopping to watch, biting her lip, she turned around and got into the car. Carlos'' mouth curved into a small curve as he closed the door and made his way to the driver''s seat. The chauffeur, who was standing in the car door, busied himself by stepping back. Carlos climbed in and closed the car door. Diego, who was following him, looked at the car as it drove away and at the chauffeur, who was being thrown out of the car, "So we''re candlestick holders?". A few hundred yards away, Carlos suddenly stopped again to the side and lunged directly at Mica.... Mica turned her face to the side and closed her eyes, her small hands resting on her chest, ready to push him hard. The expected kiss didn''t happen and Mica slowly opened her eyes to see Carlos close to her, his eyes so full ofughter that they were about to spill.... A click sounded. Was he just helping her with the seat belt? -Do you want me to kiss you? Huh? Mica pushed him away forcefully. -No! Carlos had a smile on his lips. It was so cute when he was angry that it tickled the corners of his lips. After buckling his seatbelt securely, the car started slowly. Mica picked up the gift jewelry box at her feet and looked away from Carlos with a re. -I don''t want this, I''m giving it back to you! Carlos looked at her. -You liked it a lot when you saw it. Mica was a little surprised and couldn''t help but look at Carlos, who was staring straight ahead. -Did you see it? -Yes. He arrived a littleter than Marcos, and seeing that she could take care of those two by herself, he stood outside and watched her. While she stared fascinated at the ring, he watched her spellbound. Mica couldn''t help biting her lip again. -If you bite yourself again, you''ll..... Mica was quick to unclench her teeth and gave him an angry look. -I can''t keep this! -You don''t like it? "If I say no, you''ll keep it, won''t you?". Mica thought and nodded. Carlos rolled down the window, a cool breeze came in, he held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out the other to pick up the box and throw it out the window.... -Carlos, are you crazy? Mica retrieved the jewelry box as quickly as she could. Carlos was indifferent when his n worked. -If you don''t like it, throw it away. -Carlos, you''re so... How could you throw this away when it cost you so much money? -It''s called "Heartbeat", isn''t it? Mica was surprised, how did she know? The designer of this jewelry set called it "Heartbeat". -What''s the point of keeping it if the girl I like doesn''t like it? Carlos'' voice was a little low and seemed to have a slightly sad tinge to it. If Diego had been in the car, he would have been very surprised! When did Mr. Aguayo, who had always been indifferent, be a romantic? Mica was sure he had been moved at that moment, he could see that the jewelry set had pleased him at first sight, and he also knew that the jewelry was called "Heartbeat".... But his sanity, ringing rm bells, told him not to fall for it, that this was a rich man''s game. "How many days have you known each other? A man of his status has seen all kinds of beautiful women, so why should he be attracted to you?" Mica''s heart tore hard upon learning this. Mica''s voice was weak with a hint of discouragement..... -Carlos, thank you, but I can''t be with you, I''m sorry..... Carlos had mentally prepared himself that she would not ept him easily, but hearing such a direct rejection from her, he still experienced the feeling of having his heart stabbed. Rejected again! The temperature in the car seemed to drop several degrees all at once. He was too proud to ask why, and his pride prevented him from asking why, even if he wanted to throw Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. her out of the car right now. But in the end he felt sorry and the car made a sharp turn. He had to get her home or there was no telling what he might do. Out of the corner of his eye he saw that she was shivering and unconsciously raised the window. Suddenly he thought he couldn''t send her back as if he knew her address.... -Where do you live? The tone was harsh and unmistakable. Was he finally giving up? Mica suppressed the disappointment in her heart and read aloud the address of hermunity. The two stood still and there was no more conversation. Carlos rarely drove and didn''t know the terrain of this area well. By the time they reached his neighborhood, it was already dark. Carlos, of course, knew which building he was in, but he still had to ask. -What building do you live in? -Just drop me off at the entrance of themunity, I can.... -You tell me! Carlos turned up the volume. Did she want to mark distance from him so badly? Chapter 18 : No! HeS Not Like That! Chapter 18 : No! He''S Not Like That! Chapter 18 : No! He''s not like that! Carlos''s bony hands seemed about to crush the steering wheel. -In building 18! Mica hurried to name a number. "If you''ve turned him down, turn him downpletely, Mica, don''t give him the slightest hope!". If he lived in building 12! Carlos narrowed his eyes. "This little girl, she really gets on his nerves!". In his 27 years of life, he had never experienced such a frustrating feeling! After Mica said building 18, she was looking from the car at the numbers of each building.... In fact, she didn''t even know if there were 18 buildings on the block! Oh, thank goodness there really were 18 buildings! As soon as the car stopped, Mica couldn''t wait to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car as if she was running away. Carlos was furious at the way she wanted to be away from him, and at the jewelry box she had left on the seat, so he turned the car around and took off like a bolt of lightning. Mica didn''t put her head down until the car was out of sight, and walked slowly toward the building where he lived. If only he wasn''t so powerful, if only her parents were still alive..... Mica shrugged, "There are no buts in the world! Only realities!". She walked slowly towards building 12, it was alreadyte. She forced herself to think of something else, like what to have for dinner..... -Mica! A familiar male voice with a hint of excitement rang out, but a bad feeling inexplicably welled up in Mica. Looking for the voice, it was him... Marcos came striding over. -Mica, what took you so long toe back...? He wanted to grab her shoulder, Mica bent down to move away. Marcos saw that she was only carrying a backpack and that her hands were empty, so she didn''t seem to have epted the gift from this Mr. Aguayo. He remained calm. When he was after Mica, he had given her everything, but she wouldn''t take anything. He didn''t know how to make her happy. Marcos, as the womanizer he was, had always found it easy to conquer girls, so the harder it was for Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. him, the more he tried, and so he went after her for a year, and she was gradually moved. After spending some time together, he was so attracted to Mica that he didn''t mind that she wouldn''t let him touch her. He believed that sooner orter she would be his, and if it weren''t for the fact that he had seen her infidelity in person.... -How did you find this ce? -Mica asked the question. In fact, Marcos had been trying to find her, using many methods, but he had no news of where she lived until this very afternoon. Immediately after leaving the jewelry store, he went to this block, he knew she was in this building, he just didn''t know what floor she was on, that''s why he waited here. But this was not important. He took a step forward and tried to grab Mica''s hand again, and she took a step back to avoid him. -Don''t touch me! -Well, I''m not touching you. Mica, let me exin. Me and Adriana... -Marcos, we broke up and I don''t want to hear your exnations! -I don''t agree! -Marcos shouted. Mica''s pretty eyes sparkled and her hands were brought to her back, a brilliant idea came to her, so she made a move to turn the backpack she had thrown behind her, at the same time she spoke to distract him, fumbled with her phone and turned on its recording function.... -Why won''t you agree? You''re already engaged to Adriana, whye to me! Marcos was d to hear her say that, it meant that there was still hope, that she still cared about him! -Mica, it''s not what you think, I don''t want her at all! The engagement is only temporary, because the business partnership between the two families? -Do you want to break the engagement? -That''s for sure! She seduced me! We''re only together for business and she''s doing it to create a scandal! Mica reflected faintly. -Mica, will you forgive me? I promise you that Adriana and I will break up as soon as possible, and then I''ll marry you. Mica was a little surprised and shook her head in fright. -No, no! We broke up, we are strangers from now on! Please, don''t bother me anymore! -she said and tried to enter the house. Marcos got a little scared, a little annoyed because things get out of hand. He pulled hard on Mica''s arm, who was trying to get free, and somehow or other she was forced to enter the green area next to the apartment building, with trees and flowers, and dim lighting. Her eyes were sinister and Mica was frightened.... For his part, Carlos came out of themunity and immediately pulled the minivan onto the road as if it were a sports car. Several times a traffic policeman wanted to go after him, but when he saw his license te, he knew they were people he could not mess with, and with the police car, he could not catch up with the luxury car, so he forgot about it.... The car still smelled of Mica and Carlos took a deep breath, still unable to suppress the rage in his heart. Even he couldn''t believe that one day he would feel so much emotion towards a woman. He secretly arranged a house for her, got someone to keep an eye on her, found out that she and Adriana had run into each other and worried that she was being harassed, left the meeting and tried to go to support her, saw that she had her heart set on that jewel and couldn''t wait to give it to him.... What made him even more spiteful was that even after being rejected twice like this, he still didn''t want to give up! "Shit, what poison that woman has given me....". The phone rang next to him and Carlos looked to see that it was Diego. He connected the Bluetooth and answered: -Sir, are you still with Miss Noboa? Carlos frowned. -What''s up? -I just got word that Marcos has been asking about Ms. Noboa''s address. It seems he went there just as we were leaving the jewelry store.... Without hesitation, Carlos turned onto the road and headed back in a frenzy.... -Send more men to Mica''s residence immediately! Carlos dropped the headset and hit the steering wheel hard. Earlier, as he passed building 12, he vaguely saw a suspicious figure, but he was so focused on being angry that he didn''t pay attention to it. *** -Marcos, don''t be like that. We can end well... Mica gripped the strap of her backpack tightly and looked into the bushes, why was there no one around at an hour when there were usually a lot of people walking around? She tried to run away several times, but was stopped by Marcos, she wanted to scream, but she was afraid it would cause Marcos to hurt her.... -No, Mica, why? You weren''t so cruel before, I knew you didn''t have other friends, it was always just me, so why, all of a sudden, have you changed? -You''re the one to me, and now you''re ming me for being cruel? Marcos couldn''t listen and could only think of the reasons he could think of. -I know! It''s that Mr. Aguayo! He''s so generous, are you in love with him? Marcos grabbed Mica by both shoulders. -No! Mica tried to free herself from his hand, but it was so strong that it crushed her bones.... -Yes, I''m sure it''s like that! Mica, don''t be fooled by him, he doesn''t mean it, he just wants to sleep with you because you''re pretty.... -No, he''s not like that! Chapter 19 : You DonT Say What You Think, Little Girl! Chapter 19 : You Don''T Say What You Think, Little Girl! Chapter 19 : You don''t say what you think, little girl! Mica blurted out. She was surprised when she said it. Marcos got even angrier and concluded that she broke up with him because of Mr. Aguayo! He grabbed Mica''s shoulders and shook them hard. -I knew it. I knew you had your eye on him! How long have you two known each other? It should only be a few days, shouldn''t it? I''ve been after you for so long and we''ve been together for three years, doesn''t that beat a thousand times a few days? Marcos'' gaze sank. -Or, have you already slept with him? This knowledge immediately made him feel jealous... He had neverid his hands on her, but someone had beaten him to it.... She hadpletely forgotten that she had also consented to Adriana using her by sending her to the hotel in a daze.... Mica was so dizzy from her strong agitations that she could not speak. Instead, Marcos violently mped down and kissed downward. Mica struggled to avoid him, his lips brushed her cheek. Mica pulled back, tears welling in her eyes with anxiety. -Marcos, let me go... is there anyone...? The fragrance of her body fascinated Marcos, and his anger burned his senses, forgetting he was outdoors, and he cornered her, about to nibble her lips.... A tremendous force from behind made Marcos stand up, then he felt a sharp pain in his cheek and was knocked unconscious from a punch..... Mica was leaning against the wall, her face covered with tears, her whole body trembling with fear, and then, there was in sight the person who rushed to check on her, full of anger, panic and worry.... Carlos pulled her out of that corner and put her in the light, looked her up and down carefully and couldn''t help shouting: -You''re stupid, you..... He couldn''t bear to scold her, so he took her in his arms and hugged her tightly, repressing the difort in his heart..... It was at that moment that he clearly realized how important this little girl was in his heart. Especially after hearing her screams of helplessness a moment ago, and being pinned against the wall by another man.... The rage she felt inside her was so great that she couldn''t contain it, and she wanted to tear that scum to pieces. She would never allow any man to lust after her! Diego arrived with his men, took a look at the Cayenne, the doors were not even locked and the engine was not turned off.... When had the master, always calm and self-possessed, ever acted like that...? After another look at his master, he thought: "It looks like I''m not doing anything here at the moment". He saluted his men and walked away.... Mica smelled the familiar scent of his embrace and her fear slowly faded, taking a deep breath and resting her hand against his chest before gently pushing against him.... Carlos slowly released her, the little girl''s frighteningly white face had taken on a slight blush. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. That bastard! Carlos thought of Marcos lying on the grass and wanted to move in for a few more kicks, but was stopped by Mica. Carlos frowned. -Do you feel sorry for him? Mica had a good heart after all, and although she hated him very much, she couldn''t just stand by and watch him get beaten. -Well, nothing happened to me, just leave him there and let him freeze to death! That was the harshest thing he could say. Can you freeze to death in these days of April or May? "Whatever, I have a thousand ways to make him sufferter!". Carlos pulled Mica to get into the car, but Mica continued to refuse. Carlos took a deep breath and softened his tone: -I''ll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Although Mica refused to get into the car, she didn''t let go of his hand either, and Carlos held on to her. -I''m fine, I don''t want to go to the hospital, I''m going back to rest! This stubborn little girl! Carlos looked her up and down again and there really didn''t seem to be an injury anywhere. Turning, he dragged her inside the building and into the elevator. Did he want to walk her all the way up? Carlos indicated with his gaze, "Press your floor." Mica hesitated for a moment, let go of his hand and pressed the illuminated button for the 9th floor. Carlos saw her at some distance from him and took her in his arms with arge hand. Mica was about to free herself when Carlos whispered in her ear: -There is surveince in the elevator. Do you want the security room to see me kissing you in the elevator? This little girl was very shy? Indeed, she just looked at him and reluctantly let go of his hand. Carlos was very satisfied, this sense of aplishment was more gratifying than signing a contract worth millions! The elevator doors opened and Mica stepped out, leaving Carlos behind. Stopping at the door to the floor, Mica turned around. -I''m here, thanks foring up! -I''m thirsty! -said Carlos with a look of circumstance. -There are plenty of supermarkets around! Carlos reached out his hand to lean on the door, Mica''s back was against the door. -Little girl, if I remember correctly, this is the third time I''ve saved your life, and you don''t even give your savior a sip of water? Huh? His breath was in her face, with two more inches it would touch her red lips.... Mica blushed, gritted her teeth, pushed him away and took out her keys to open the door. As soon as Mica opened the door, she headed straight for the kitchen to get water.... Carlos looked around and frowned to see that Diego had found such a small house. He sat down on the cloth sofa and felt the whole room fill with the faint scent of Mica.... -Drink some water. Mica handed him the ss of water and Carlos took it. Mica realized that his bony fingers were scraped and there were traces of blood on them..... -Your hand is bleeding! -Mica eximed, trying to touch his hand and then pulling it away, there was nothing at home to treat the wound.... This was from the blow to the steering wheel and the blow to Marcos. Carlos looked at her a little uncertainly and smiled. It was obvious he cared, "You''re all worked up over this little scratch, and you still won''t admit you have feelings for me? You don''t say what you think, little girl!". Taking her by the arm, he sat her down next to him. -It''s nothing. Give me the phone," said Carlos. Mica then realized that he had not yet closed the recording. She hurried to take out her backpack, pulled out her phone, the screen was still on, pressed pause and saved. I''m sure I''ll need itter. -What do you want it for? -asked Mica, handing him the phone. Carlos took his phone and entered his cell phone number and dialed it. His phone was still in the car, but there was no hurry, Diego was there. -Hello! -Prepare some dinner to bring him here. With that, he hung up the phone, saved the number he had just dialed in contacts and typed in his name, Carlos. Mica watched him and felt a little unsure of what to do. -What are you doing saving your cell phone number...? Carlos turned a deaf ear, let go of the phone, grabbed her wrist and pushed.... Mica slumped on the couch, her head resting on the arm of the armchair, her eyes wide as she watched Carlos''s face pass in front of her eyes, stopping just inches away from her. -In the future, if you''re ever in danger again, let me know the first time, okay? His voice was low and muffled, and his hot breath sprayed her face. Mica, whose heart was beating a thousand beats a second, looked into his deep-set eyes and hesitated long and hard. Chapter 20 : IM Not Spying On You, Really! Chapter 20 : I''M Not Spying On You, Really! Chapter 20 : I''m not spying on you, really! She always blushed at his approach and didn''t know how to react, she didn''t know if this was feeling something for him, she had never felt such emotions towards Marcos. But she knew that Carlos and she were from different worlds because of their identities.... She could not give him any answer... Carlos grabbed her chin, not allowing her to turn her head away. -Did he just kiss you? Carlos asked with an icy gleam in his eyes. Mica froze for a moment, shocked, her mind went back to the scene on TV where the heroine was kissed by someone else and the man had to personally disinfect the heroine... So she shook her head immediately. -Really? Then why do I seem to have seen that...? Carlos was talking while he wanted to kiss her.... Mica turned her head away and shouted: -He didn''t kiss me, it was just a touch on my cheek..... -Is it this way? Carlos gave a soft peck on her cheek. It was a peck, but it made the girl''s body shudder slightly. Mica thought her brain must have short-circuited, because she turned her neck and turned the other side of her face towards him.... -Oh, this way? -she said as she was about to give another kiss.... There was a knock at the door and Mica pushed him away in fright, getting up and running to the door. Mica tried to open the door and arge hand rested on it, his magnificent body pressed against the small of Mica''s back. Carlos rested one hand on the door, looked down and gave her a kiss on the other cheek as well. -Face your feelings for me, okay? Mica felt her heart was going to burst out of her chest, she bit her lip, not knowing what to do, not rejecting his touch at all.... His other hand ovepped Mica''s on the doorknob and, with a push, the door opened. -Sir, Miss Noboa! Carlos pushed Mica back a step and Diego stepped aside as several people behind him, all with borate lunch boxes in their hands, snuck in, found the table, set things up and left. Diego put down Carlos'' phone, closed the door and walked out. Mica was still flushed and a little nervous, but Carlos made himself at home and pulled her into the seat. Mica stood in awe at the beautifully presented dishes, it looked like the work of a great chef. It was the fourth day she had lived there, and it was the first time she had sat here for a formal dinner, on top of that it was with him? Mica sneaked a nce at him, the hair on his forehead looked soft, he wasdling the soup with a spoon, his eyes focused, his thin lips pursed before he put the bowl of soup in front of her.... Carlos looked at her and Mica looked away in a panic.... -I''m not spying on you, really! *** Mica wanted to bite her tongue, "Don''t be so obvious!". Carlos chuckled a little. Mica looked at his faint smile and felt her heart beating fast and lowered her head hurriedly. -I know. Come on, eat. If it weren''t for the table that separated them, she would have liked to rub his head at the sight of his rueful face. Sometimes she was a shy little girl, sometimes foolish enough to be bullied. Mica looked down, wanting to bury her burning red face in her te.... After dinner, Mica busied herself clearing the table while Carlos took a seat on the couch and worked on something important on his phone. It was so awkward not having aputer.... Carlos wondered if he should ask Diego to bring hisptop.... Looking up, Mica already cleared the table and was doing something in the small kitchen. This felt pretty good. Mica found nothing else to do in the kitchen, so she went out and as soon as she came out, she saw Carlos looking at her thoughtfully. Mica coughed twice and looked away. -Carlos, it''s gettingte, you should go home..... Carlos got up. Thinking he was really leaving, Mica hurried to the door and went to open it.... Carlos grabbed her by the arm. -Carlos grabbed her by the arm, "That Marcos is still downstairs, aren''t you afraid he''lle up in the middle of the night and cause trouble? Mica was startled and her heart beat faster.... It was clear she was still distressed. Carlos pushed her towards the bedroom. -Go take a shower and get some rest, I''ll stay here with you. Did he mean he wanted to spend the night here? Mica''s heart beat faster.... Seeing that she stood still wanting to say something, Carlos whispered in her ear. -Or do you want me to take a shower? Mica ran into the bedroom.... Carlos took a seat on the sofa, how could he give Marcos the opportunity to go upstairs? He called the guards on the first floor to keep watch and let him go alone after he had filled the guts of the mosquitoes. As he thought of the consequences of if he hadn''t made it in time.... "I promise to make Marcos'' life hell!". But now, he wasn''t going to have a good time either.... He leaned back against the back of the couch and stared at the ceiling. This being under the same roof and doing nothing made him feel sofortable that he didn''t think about leaving. "Carlos, you''re really crazy...". Ten minutester, Mica came out in her pajamas, the more conservative style she bought at the neighborhood supermarket when she first moved in, the kind that enveloped from head to toe. -Carlos,e back, I have no bed or nket for you here... if youe up here, I''ll call the police! Don''t worry. Carlos opened his eyes to look at her, her small face with her long hair pulled back, exposing her snow white neck, and even though she was standing quite far away, he could still smell the fresh scent of her recent bath. -Come here. Mica shook her head violently, unconsciously clutching the cor of her pajamas. Carlos observed her small gesture and curved the corner of his mouth, "What a fool...." -Then go to sleep. Mica gave Carlos a stern look and turned around to go into the room.... The next day, Mica woke up in a daze, sat up violently, put on her slippers and opened the door to her room. He was no longer on the sofa.... Mica was relieved that he had returned home... "He left in the middle of the night?". He was 6''2" and a gentleman, how could he stand to spend a night on the couch...? Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Catching the smell of food, Mica walked over to the table and was surprised to see a packed breakfast from Ss Caribe on the table. Had it been gone for nothing? She opened the lid, it was seafood porridge, very fresh looking and still steaming? Mica''s movements stopped.... Last night she had leaned out to look at him, and he had been lying on the couch, not knowing if he was asleep or just resting his eyes. She knew that, although he was dominant, he was also a gentleman and surely wouldn''t do anything to her, but she still couldn''t bring herself to share half the bed with him. Sharing a bed and all that was only done by couples..... Chapter 21 : ArenT You Mrs. Kiki? Chapter 21 : Aren''T You Mrs. Kiki? Chapter 21 : Aren''t you Mrs. Kiki? Mica thought about asking him to sleep in the bed in her room, she was smaller and could fit on the couch, but she was afraid he would take her to sleep in the bed with him. So she reassured herself that maybe he''d be back in a little while.... There was a newspaper under the breakfast table. Mica picked up her breakfast and sat down, opened the paper and took a quick nce at it, her eyes were drawn to a job ad in the right hand column. "We need several jewelry design assistants...". Mica''s mind wandered and she looked carefully at the date again, it was today''s paper. The location wasn''t too far from here, it was only 5 bus stops away. It was a job she loved and she was going to try it. Mica frowned again at the thought of her earlier rejection. "Whatever, I have to try it out! Can Adriana be powerful enough to stop all thepanies from refusing to hire me?". After washing and changing, he sat down and hurried to breakfast. It tasted good, but her mind was in chaos.... After picking everything up, she went out with her bag. As she went downstairs, she looked down at thewn where she had been yesterday and Mark was no longer there. The way he acted yesterday made her not want to see him again. Afterst night, he should have learned his lesson too, shouldn''t he? Mica thought, walked out of the neighborhood and went to catch a bus. She arrived at the ce where the newspaper said. Nubcancion. The name of thepany was quite special and the location was in a rtively busy area of Tdia. He had just Googled and discovered that Nubcancion was a subsidiary of the Nunez Group, which, in turn, was primarily involved in jewelry and jade design. Each season, Nubcancion would highlight an essory so stunning that you had to order it a month in advance to get your hands on it. Although it was only a subsidiarypany, several very distinguished designers worked there.... Mica arrived on the third floor of the interview room and scanned therge waiting room... there were so many peopleing in for interviews! Anyone who noticed Mica couldn''t help but look twice at her. Mica was used to the stares, with a slight smile on her face, but an aura of aloofness that stopped several people who wanted to approach her. Mica went to the reception desk and filled out the forms. The receptionist looked at her handwriting and thought, "How pretty she is and how nice her spelling!". Once the forms were handed in, Mica found an empty seat and sat down. -Did you hear? One of the people there today is designer Kiki. -Wow, it would be great to be taken by her! -Yes, Kiki is very talented and I love her designs. I hear she''s also very nice and she''s very pretty. -I''d love to work under her, even if I don''t get paid! If you learn her skills, you won''t have to worry. *** Mica listened silently to their conversation. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The interview began, it was individual, those whose names were called came into the office to be interviewed. One by one, people came in and then left, each for only a few minutes. Time passed and the room gradually thinned out. -Hello! A male voice sounded next to her and Mica turned her head to see a boy in a white sweater sitting on the stool next to her, looking friendly and possibly a recent graduate like her. -Hello. Mica replied politely. -I''m here to interview for the design department, and you? -I''m also... -Next, Mica! The receptionist came out and knocked, interrupting Mica''s conversation, and with a nod to the boy, got up and entered the office. The boy saw Mica enter and felt that his heart, which was beating nonstop, would not stop.... "Is her name Mica? What a beautiful name...". Mica entered the office and instantly recognized that the woman sitting behind the desk, dressed in a simple professional suit and a short haircut, was the designer Kiki, as the people outside had just said. The difference between her in person and her on the presses was huge. Mica was a bit taken aback. Kiki, seeing her expression, also flinched slightly and asked: -Do you know me? Mica was even more surprised. -Aren''t you Mrs. Kiki? Kiki stood up abruptly, strided over and closed the office door behind her. She returned and looked seriously at Mica. How was it possible that this little girl recognized her? Did she recognize him at first sight? A dozen interviews had juste in and no one had spotted her. -How do you know? Kiki was sure she''d never seen her before! Mica weighed her words carefully. -Although she usually appears in delicate makeup in the presses, and differs a bit from now, her look and.... Mica looked up slightly and pointed to the underside of her chin, slightly to the right. -She has a prominent fleshy mole in this position, which is covered by the foundation when she puts on makeup, but is still slightly visible. Kiki was surprised! Unconsciously, she touched the mole.... Actually, she hated being exposed, and only put on makeup very differently than she did when she had to. He recognized her by a mole, her eyes were too sharp! In fact, Mica recognized her immediately partly because she liked Kiki''s work and paid attention to her news, the mole was only one of the reasons, but mostly, it was because there was an aura of talent that permeated Kiki. She was by no means the charming look on the screen, but a simple and natural person. Mica was reluctant to tell her because she thought that, if she did, Kiki would think she was sucking up to her. Kiki looked closely at Mica again, and in her clear eyes she saw herself, but from a few years ago, and she thought she saw an "I", so she had a feeling of wanting to sympathize.... The girl was very young and had a special aura, and Kiki looked into her eyes and had a vague feeling that she was the one he was looking for. -Come here. Kiki walked over to a disy case. -Give this diamond ne a name. "Is this the subject of today''s interview?" thought Mica, stepping forward and looking closely through the disy case. The ne was tinum and the highlight was the pendant, curved in the shape of a crescent moon and set with a precious stone, which was engraved.... -Can I take it off? Kiki immediately handed her the gloves she had prepared. In a morning, she was the first to recognize it and the first to ask to take the ne out to look at it, Kiki could barely contain her inner excitement. Chapter 22 : There Was So Much More To Thank Her For. Chapter 22 : There Was So Much More To Thank Her For. Chapter 22 : There was so much more to thank her for. Mica put on her gloves, carefully picked up the chain and focused it directly into the light that was on in the room, and immediately, her face shone with the light of a refracted precious stone.... It really was a diamond that sparkled, and although the materials used were not top quality, the workmanship was exceptionally fine and the angle of the cut was perfect.... -If it were me, I would call it "Starry Sky". The diamond is small, but with dozens of facets. Wearing it, it can reflect lights as beautiful as the starry sky. Kiki''s heart was pounding violently as she looked at a calm Mica and gripped her hand tightly. -Congrattions, you''ve been chosen,e to work tomorrow! "It happened so easily?" Kiki saw Mica''s surprise and smiled in affirmation. -Mica, wee as my assistant! Come see me directly in the design department tomorrow! I was Kiki''s assistant! Mica was still in a state of joy and shock until she left the Nubcantion building. Walking down the road, she had the feeling that she had finally reached the top, she had finally gotten a job! He used to work part-time during the summer and winter vacations and never encountered any obstacles in finding a job. This time, thanks to Adriana''s bad one, she experienced the indescribable joy of getting something that was hard to get, that was the best thing about this process! Suddenly she wanted to find someone to share her joy with, and then Carlos'' face popped into her head.... There was a pause in her joyful steps, it was time to call him and thank him for staying with herst night and for making her breakfast this morning.... Pulling out her phone, she hesitated again. What could she say to him? In fact, there was much more to thank him for than that breakfast.... "Face your feelings for me, okay?". The words he''d saidst night echoed in her mind. He had said he had feelings for her and he had said to stay with him, so she had to like him, right? Mica couldn''t help blushing, her heart beat faster when she thought about it.... "Mica, you''re useless, you''re acting like a fool in front of him! You''re not like that, you''re blushing and confused, you look like someone else!". Mica herself didn''t even realize that the strange emotion cheered her up even more. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "I''m not going to call him, because how should I respond if he tells me that no thanks are needed, just marry me?". Then she remembered her only friend, Alba Gbert. She had been abroad for almost a year, and at this hour, where she was it should be night, right? Mica put her phone back in her purse when suddenly it rang. Mica was startled and her heart raced as her mind wondered if Carlos? She saw the name on the screen: Alba. Mica had a big smile on her face and several passersby couldn''t help but stare at Mica.... "This girl is so pretty! She has such a nice smile...". Had that been signaled by telepathy? Mica happily picked up the phone. -Hello, Alba! -Mica! What? Are you going to forget about me if I don''t call you? Mica could imagine Alba''s face detailing her irritation. -No, it''s just that, with the jetg, I was afraid of disturbing your rest. -I know you too well. If I hadn''t insisted on being your friend, how would we have such a strong rtionship today! Mica smiled, yes, she had always been like that, she had a hard time making friends and was afraid to bother people, if Alba hadn''t taken the initiative and been there for her, she really wouldn''t have had a single friend during the four years at the university! -Mica, I''m getting on theer, don''t go anywhere, I''ll pick you up when I get off the ne in a few hours! No... no... "What was wrong with Alba? She''s always been one to blurt things out at the drop of a hat." -Are youing back now? Mica was pleasantly surprised. But... -What''s the matter, Alba? What do you mean? What''s not what? -Anyway, don''t get upset, don''t fool around and don''t cry until I get back. That''s it, I''m getting on the ne! See you tonight! And she hung up! Mica was so lost! What was going on? To suddenlye back and tell her not to do stupid things? She looked at the time, she could only ask him when he came back! A few hourster she would see her best friend! What a great day, Mica was so excited she even felt the world was extraordinarily wonderful! She saw the mall across the street and suddenly remembered that she could go to work tomorrow, but she didn''t have a decent outfit to go to work in! She wore those two dresses all day! Although those two dresses were very nice, of good quality and you could tell at a nce that they were big brand name garments, it was better to wear a more professional formal dress to work. When she entered the mall, there weren''t many people at that hour, so she went straight to the second floor, where clothes were sold. She was the only one going alone, most of the people looking at the clothes were in groups. She was too busy working part-time at the university to join the clubs, she didn''t have time to make friends either. If it wasn''t for Alba, her life would be nothing but sses and part-time jobs. And Marcos... -Did you see the headlines today? That the model Adriana and the Se?orito of the Franco family have published that they are getting engaged! -Yes, I saw it, they really look good together! -It''s one of the most talked about topics of the day! One is a model and the other is rich, how envious.... *** The two women looking at the clothes on the side were animatedly discussing with their cell phones. So that''s what Alba was talking about? She had also seen the news and was afraid that he would be sad or do something foolish, so she had A little tear came to her eyes, it was enough to have a friend like that in this life! Except she''d probably be surprised when she came back and found out that they had actually already broken up. Throughout the three year rtionship, Alba had advised Mica countless times to break up, she hadn''t expected that this time, without Alba convincing her, she already had. Alba had known for a long time that Marcos was not someone worth giving her heart to, right? Only, at that moment, she chose to trust Marcos? Mica left that store and stopped listening to what was being said about Marcos, she no longer cared. Walking into another store, Mica bought two outfits for work and, after thinking about it, another two sets of street clothes, Mica was a little hurt when it was time to pay. In fact, she still had clothes at the Elvira''s house, she just didn''t want to go back anymore. The Elvira family... She didn''t have much to miss, other than her homesickness. Adriana''s cheating, and her bad behavior, caused him to lose his job, and made life difficult for him in every way. Only he was lucky and didn''t fall into her trap. And as for the job, he also found something better than before. He knew very well that Adriana was not a good person and his tolerance had been rewarded by the intensification of her harassment. He had to be strong to protect himself and make Adriana pay for what she had done! Chapter 23 : Bravo To The Guard! Chapter 23 : Bravo To The Guard! Chapter 23 : Bravo to the guard! It was noon when Mica returned home. She washed the new clothes andid them out, took the quilt out onto the balcony, and then had a quick bite to eat. Taking a seat on the couch, she took out her phone and flipped through the contact book, stopping at Carlos'' name, she hesitated for a while before exiting the app. She couldn''t just sit there doing nothing, because she''d get too scratched if she had nothing to do. Mica got up and cleaned the whole house until it was spotless, and only then was she content to stop. Just after she sat down on the sofa, again the idea of calling Carlos came to her mind.... Mica felt like she was going crazy.... But at that moment the phone rang. Mica looked at her phone and, as soon as she saw the name, she felt a little disappointed.... Mica calmed her mind before picking up the phone. -Hello, Delfina. Delfina was Mica''s partner at the internshippany and her only friend when she worked there. -Mica, have you found a job yet? -Delfina asked. Mica grabbed a pillow to hug and cradled it in her arms. -Yes, I just found it, I start tomorrow. -Congrattions, I knew you''d find a job soon! -Thank you. Were you calling me about something? -Oh, I lost my job.... Mica was startled. -How? -Marcos'' shares were bought out and he lost a lot of money. -Isn''t he the biggest shareholder of thepany? Who bought him out? Mica was just curious and had no more feelings for Marcos. -I don''t know, but the bosses of thepany are at odds and all the factories of thepany have Property ? N?velDrama.Org. been closed and thepany is in a mess. -That''s really serious... -Yes! For me, it''s all the fault of that Adriana! Since she started as an ambassador for our new product, thepany has gone downhill! She must be jinxed! Delfina spoke with indignation. Was she jinxed? Micaughed. After talking to Delfina about her job search and wishing her luck in finding it, she hung up the phone. Leaning back on the couch, Mica stared at the ceiling, thinking there was something strange about all this... What was strange? She couldn''t quite put her finger on it.... Mica fell asleep on the couch. She was awakened by a phone call. It usually didn''t ring for days, but today it was ringing quite frequently. Mica rubbed her eyes, saw it was Alba calling and looked outside, it was dark. -Alba... -Mica, where are you? I''m getting off the ne, I''m with you now! Mica gave Alba the address, and although she was curious as to how Mica could be in that neighborhood, she didn''t think much of it, thinking there would be time to askter, so she hung up the phone and addressed her. This style of doing things fast really didn''t go well with her name! Mica thought so more than once. Half an hourter, there was a knock at the door and Mica opened it to be greeted by a fragrant hug. -Mica, I''ve missed you so much! It was a while before Alba let go of Mica and looked at her closely, and Mica looked at her friend with slightly reddened eyes. She had a tiny face, big eyes and a familiar teasing expression on her face: -Well, here the girls are prettier, those foreign girls, tsk, tsk..... Micaughed. Taking her into the room and sitting down, Alba immediately got to the point. -Well, I''m back, baby,e cry in my arms! And with that, she opened her arms. -When you''re done crying, we''ll go out and celebrate. Lucky you''ve broken up with that scum! Mica was in a good mood and gave Alba a rare yful look. -I''m not going to cry for him! I''m the one who dumped him! Indeed, Alba was shocked for quite a while and was slow to react. -Oh my God, Mica, you''re amazing! You''ve grown so much in a year! You finally see what it''s like, don''t you? Mica nodded and slowly told him briefly about thetest events, skipping only the part about Carlos. She still hadn''t been able to resolve her feelings for him, so maybe it was better not to worry her best friend, because maybe there wouldn''t even be more to say on the matter.... -Your cousin really is mean! Oh, how could there be such a person! Why didn''t you tell me? I would have flown back and pped him in the face! Alba spoke with indignation and then immediately followed up with a question. -What about yesterday, when Marcos was stopped by the security guard? Mica rolled her head shyly and looked around, vaguely. -And today I found out that he''s getting engaged to Adriana! Sessfully changing the subject, Alba pped her thighs and eximed. -Bravo to the guard! That couple of sons of bitches are not going to end well! *** Carlos, described as the security guard, was standing in the office of the president of the Grupo Aguayo building, looking out the French windows at the night view and frowning. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number. -Dear Mr. Aguayo, do you still remember me after all this time? The flirtatious voice of his friend Ernesto Mancebo came through the phone. -Well, it''s been a long time, and you sound as disgusting as ever. -Hey, that I''m the second best bachelor in Tdia after you, how many beautiful women''s hearts would break if you hit on me! -Let''s have a drink together in the evening. -Ok, I''m at Moontime, are youing or shall I pick you up? -Wait for me. Carlos turned around and left the office, Diego was waiting for him in the outer office. -Sir, Ms. Athens just called and invited you toe in.... -Don''t tell me anything about her in the future! Carlos frowned at the woman''sst name and refused without hesitation. -All right... Diego also hated this Miss Athens and wouldn''t have answered the phone if it weren''t for his father. -I''ll drive back myself, you can leave work early. Carlos took the exclusive elevator straight to the subway parking garage and got into his car, still unconsciously looking at the jewelry box that had been sitting in the corner on the passenger side since yesterday. There seemed to be a faint whiff of it in the car.... Moontime wasn''t the biggest bar in Tdia, but it was the ssiest and most elegant. It was no wonder that the people who came here were rich and famous, and it was no wonder to see a popr celebrity here. In addition, the bar system attached great importance to the privacy of the customers, even if you were a journalist, you could not report what happened here without authorization. Because of this, Tdia''s upper sses liked toe here to rx. As they approached the heavy ss doors, the waiters on either side immediately opened them. The noise and shing lights inside caused Carlos to frown and the waiting waiter immediately stepped forward to lead the way. -Mr. Aguayo, Mr. Mancebo is waiting for you upstairs, please. Chapter 24 : I Would Only Sleep With The One I Love Chapter 24 : I Would Only Sleep With The One I Love Chapter 24 : I would only sleep with the one I love Carlos followed the waiter up to the second floor, where the noise was much less. -Carlos! A tall, handsome man was sitting in a high chair, leaningzily on the bar behind him, and he raised his arm to greet Carlos. Not like Carlos'' suit, he was dressed casually. Carlos sat down next to him and immediately opened a bottle of beer with fluid movements and ced it in front of Carlos. Carlos lifted the bottle very nonchntly and took a sip while a couple of women sitting in the far corner shouted. -How handsome, the oneing from behind is even more handsome. That cool aura... -Wow, what a nice drinking pose.... -Wow, he''s the most handsome man I''ve ever seen! *** Ernesto looked at the group of nymphomaniacs. -Carlos, you stole my thunder. Carlos ignored him and took another sip of his drink, watching Ernesto''s phone vibrate there on the bar with its blinking light. Ernesto looked at his phone, raised an eyebrow and leaned his right elbow on Carlos'' shoulder. -He said, "That Amelia Atenas is about to blow up my phone just to ask for your private number. Now, can you have a little mercy and leave me alone? -It''s none of my business. -But I mean, you and Amelia at least had a... Carlos'' icy eyes fell on Ernesto.... -My fault, I''ll drink and punish myself with a bottle! It was the same as before, not wanting to mention a person or thing he didn''t care about. Ernesto picked up the bottle, took a few big sips, put it down and touched his mouth. -Howe you''re willing toe with me here? Usually, you nevere! Carlos, however, asked instead of answering. -Are you alone? What about your girlfriends? -Hey, now you''re worried about my girlfriends? Before, you didn''t even waste a nce! Something''s up! Who''s the girl you like? Carlos had a red ear, but fortunately the lighting was dim and not visible. He turned his head and looked at the men and women dancing on the dance floor downstairs. However, Ernesto suddenly became emotional. -Those girlfriends are only there for physical needs! Now I just want to find one I really love. Carlos looked at his best friend a bit dumbfounded, as if he didn''t know him! Ernesto looked a little sad and took a big sip of wine. -Women who look at me because of my looks or my family, they disgust me, they are hypocrites, pretentious! Ernesto lifted the bottle and took another sip. -You haven''t spoken to Leonardo in a while, have you? The bastard fell in love recently, said he''d met the one, bragged about how happy he was every day and erased all the women from his address book except his mother. Leonardo Pinto, that yboy, was he going to settle down? Carlos expressed his doubts. -I want one like this, to think only of her, to greet her every sunrise, not to spend time under these lights.... Just to think of her and greet each sunrise with her every day.... Carlos'' mind remembered Mica''s shy face.... He lifted the bottle and gently touched Ernesto''s with a crunching sound. -I''m sorry. Ernesto rolled his eyes at Carlos. -Carlos, you''re not too young. As for family, Leonardo and I consider ourselves from a wealthy family, but we don''t even dare topare ourselves to you. As for looks, you surpass me... Come on, you''re the handsomest, I''m second! You''ve been single for 27 years, if you haven''t met anyone for a serious rtionship, you at least want a one-night stand, right? -I didn''t know Mr. Mancebo was so concerned about my private life.... Carlos gave him a weak look and continued. -I would only sleep with the person I love. At this, Ernesto was surprised and sat up straight. A small part of him had already understood a lot of information with his sentence. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. -It seems that Amelia''s heart is about to break.... Seeing Carlos'' cold stare, he immediately raised his hands in surrender: -I won''t mention her anymore! I promise! Carlos took a sip of his drink and looked back down to the dance floor to be surprised to see a familiar, petite figure.... Mica clutched Alba''s hand tightly as the raucous music around her and the bright, dim lights made her dizzy, she didn''t like this ce at all to celebrate leaving the scum! Alba, however, was so excited that she pulled Mica inside as she shook her body to the music. -Mica, look, this is nothing like a foreign bar! The music is great. The deafening music prevented Mica from hearing what Alba was saying as she turned to her. Anxious, she tugged Alba and shouted: -Alba, let''s go somewhere else! Alba, of course, didn''t hear Mica''s shouts and was so d to sneak home that she wanted to bring Mica along to experience more of life, her good girl world was so boring! Finally finding an empty seat on the side, Alba pulled Mica to sit on the couch. -A dozen Lindemans -said Alba to the waiter who hade over to ask. Mica was surprised, a dozen? -Alba, no, I don''t drink. -What''s the point ofing to a bar if you don''t drink? Besides, it''s a fruit beer, it''s like a soft drink, you''re not going to get drunk! The bartender rushed over with a tray and left 12 small, delicate bottles of beer and several piles of small tes on the table. Alba opened a bottle and handed it to Mica deftly. -Take it, taste it! Mica, seeing Alba''s face full of excitement and her eyes shining, couldn''t help her curiosity and took a small sip.... It was very smooth in the mouth, light and fruity, with a hint of cherry, it was really very pleasant to drink! Alba smiled triumphantly at Mica''s incredulous expression and opened a new bottle, toasting with her own. -Isn''t it? Ha ha, look at you,e on, cheers! Suddenly, the music in the bar changed rolls, the rock music stopped ying, the live band yed soft piano and several couples immediately took to the dance floor and embraced and danced. The atmosphere was especially conducive to conversation, and Mica and Alba, who had an unusual reunion, had so much to say that they drank several bottles before they realized it. The two were chatting happily when an elegantly dressed woman suddenly stopped in front of their table. -Hey, isn''t that Alba? Alba and Mica looked up and saw that it was Ivanna German, the daughter of the Alem¨¢n family, with whom they had also gone to college. Ivanna felt superior and looked down on the ordinary people at the university. -Alba, I tell you that things are ssified by ss, just like people. We, the upper ss, must be with the upper ss so as not to lower our ss. With that, she looked contemptuously at Mica. -That some people aspire to be a mistress, and it''s better not to hang out with her! Chapter 25 : LetS Talk About It Face To Face, LetS See Who Is The Real Mistress. Chapter 25 : Let''S Talk About It Face To Face, Let''S See Who Is The Real Mistress. Chapter 25 : Let''s talk about it face to face, let''s see who is the real mistress. Alba stood up very angrily. -What the hell are you talking about? Don''t beat around the bush! -Isn''t that the way it is? Marcos is going to get engaged to Adriana, but Mica still has something with Marcos, doesn''t she make it clear that she wants to be the mistress? Alba, you''re the daughter of the Gbert Group, don''t get involved with someone like that. Ivanna looked like she was giving her some good advice from the heart. -Ivanna, don''t defend your cousin, your cousin doesn''t deserve Mica, what''s this about her still having something with him? Let it be clear to you that it was Mica who left him! -Alba said out loud, and looked at Mica, who was sitting very calm, as always. -Don''t talk nonsense, how could that poor Mica leave my cousin? As the music was not too loud, the people around looked this way, especially when they heard sensitive words like mistress and the two names that came up a lot in the presses of the day. -Mica, don''t you dare ruin my cousin and Adriana''s rtionship! With the air of a warrior standing up for justice, Ivanna Cold scowled warningly at Mica. Mica stood up and looked at Ivanna, who was in a bad mood, and spoke lightly: -You can''t use me of being a mistress just because? -Dare to say that you have not loved Marcos! Ivanna interrupted her words with a stern retort. Alba frowned and stood up, trying to push Ivanna away. This was a person who deliberately wanted to poke at people''s wounds. -Ivanna, what does this have to do with you! Did Adriana persuade you to do this? Mica approached Alba and told her with a look that she was fine and could handle it. She looked at Ivanna, lifting her chin slightly and speaking in a clear voice. -Then I was blind, now I''m not. -You! Ivanna choked for a moment before continuing. -You''ve apparently broken up with Mark, but you''re still seeing him secretly! And you told him to look for youst night! -Last night? You can ask your dear cousin if he was bothering me or I was bothering him, I just don''t have anything to do with him anymore! -said Mica coldly. Giggles rang through the room. Alba, for her part, let out a carefreeugh. Ivanna heard theughter and became annoyed. -You''re so proud to be a mistress, shame on you! -As to who is the mistress, Adriana or I, I think you all know well. Or else, call Adriana and let''s talk it over face to face, to see who is the real mistress. -Yes, call her, to talk about it in person. -Let the mane too, so he can confirm it himself! -You''re the man''s cousin, just get them both toe and that''s the end of the story! *** The public always wanted to make more fuss and episodes. Ivanna gritted her teeth, how was she going to call Adriana, even though she was at the bar right now, she was a public figure and calling her to discuss in person would be hurting her! And, even though Adriana told her that it was Mica who hooked up with Marcos, seeing that Mica was saying it without any fear, it would be even more embarrassing if it was true that Adriana was the mistress! But it was okay to call her cousin, and she would surely defend Adriana! Ivanna straightened her body and pulled out her phone, saying smugly: -I''ll call my cousin now and show you all who the shameless mistress is! Alba tugged at Mica a little uneasily, fearing that Marcos was talking nonsense, but Mica returned a reassuring look. "Do you have ns?" asked Alba with a wink. Mica just smiled. The phone was dialed, there was a beep and they quickly picked it up. The crowd around them instantly quieted as well, as the music in the bar was soft, the atmosphere was so quiet, more so that Ivanna had put the speakerphone on, Marcos'' voice was especially clear. -Hey, Ivanna, what''s up? At home, Marcos held his cell phone in one hand and covered his right cheek with the other. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Last night he''d been beaten up by someone he didn''t even know, not to mention his teeth were half out and his face was swollen. His face was covered in mosquito bites and now he smelled like ointment everywhere! He couldn''t believe he hadn''t found anything after sending people to check the cameras. He was furious and had no choice but to hide at home, to heal. Ivanna sensed something unusual in his voice. But she paid no attention to this and asked immediately: -Cousin, did Mica seduce you, is she the mistress? Everyone''s ears pricked up and listened attentively, and there was silence. Alba also clenched her fists, if this bastard was talking nonsense, she was going to beat him to death! Marcos was surprised to hear Ivanna ask this, he knew that Ivanna and Adriana had gone out together and that Adriana had talked to her. -Why do you ask? Ivanna was furious. -Just tell me if Mica is the lover! Marcos frowned, from the looks of it Ivanna would be in a music bar or a lounge bar, was he asking that because Mica was there too? He was already regretting what happenedst night, it was too rash, Mica would only get further away from him, Ivanna must have put Mica on speakerphone to deliberately insult her, she couldn''t push Mica further and further away! -Ivanna, don''t talk nonsense, Mica is not a lover! She hung up the phone after that! The room erupted. -Ohhhh, you misunderstood her! -This is getting interesting! -Yeah, why don''t you call your friend too? *** Alba was relieved that the bastard had a conscience. Mica was also a bit surprised, she had been prepared to y the recording from the night before, apparently it was unnecessary. Mica looked at Ivanna and asked: -Do you have anything else to say? Ivanna blushed, why was her cousin so uncooperative and indifferent! -Anyway, Mica, you''re just someone who carries everything from the flea market, I warn you to stay away from my cousin, he''s not going to notice a woman like you! -Pretty. Gael Mariano, who had been sitting a short distance away, put his phone back in his pants pocket, looked up, walked over, looked seriously at Mica and then said to Ivanna: -If I''m not mistaken, the dress she''s wearing is a new Chanel model, and the designer, Ellison, is a design genius whom I adore, so how can you say his masterpieces are from the flea market! Ivanna looked at Mica in surprise, the dress fit her beautifully and the cut was exceptionally perfect. But how could she afford to buy the new Chanel models when she was a poor girl working part-time at the university? Mica was also slightly stunned and unconsciously looked at the dress. It was given to her by Sofia at the time and she said it had been bought by her daughter, so was it such an expensive brand? -Don''t be fooled, there''s no way she could afford a Chanel dress! Ivanna said it with conviction. Chapter 26 : Why DidnT I Call Her More Affectionately? Chapter 26 : Why Didn''T I Call Her More Affectionately? Chapter 26 : Why didn''t I call her more affectionately? Gael also stated: -This is definitely a new Chanel model! -It can''t be, it must be a fake," Ivanna shouted in disbelief, scowling at Gael with disdain and a mocking tone. -Who are you? Do you think if you say it''s Chanel, it''s just Chanel? The people in the room gawked at Gael and discussed: This gentleman, it seems, is Gael Mariano, editor-in-chief of the famous magazine "Excellent Taste". -Yes, yes, that''s him, he was on a variety showst time, I saw him! He''s even more manly in person! -He''s a leader of fashion trends, how could he possibly get the clothing brand wrong! -I heard that thetest cover of "Excellent Taste" featured a model in a new Chanel dress. *** The murmur of the crowd made Ivanna speechless as she received a smack in the mouth. Gael smiled and nodded to those who recognized him. Then, looking at Ivanna, he said in a pertinent tone: -This girl is wearing a limited edition Chanel couture haute couture fromst season, which is not yet avable on the market! So how can there be fakes and replicas, don''t talk nonsense, beautiful! Ivanna started to panic, but she didn''t want to give up the argument. -Even if it''s true, it''s a gift from some rich old man, because Mica is a big slut. Mica was surprised that the dress was so famous... and had a vague answer in her mind. But she decided to tell a little lie: -Ivanna, isn''t the word "self-sufficiency" part of your worldview? You also said that I worked at the university, earned my own money and bought myself a nice dress, does that hurt you or what? Fearing that Ivanna would say that Mica didn''t have ess to such a high-end dress, Alba continued without hesitation: -Yes, I bought it for Mica -What''s wrong? Ivanna felt humiliated and defiantly changed the subject. -Alba, I kindly remind you that you will only degrade yourself by dating her..... Alba became furious and mmed her fist on the table. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. -I''m happy, I like dating Mica, what do you care! Those looking around couldn''t help butugh and mutter without fear of being overheard. -She really thinks she''s the vignte of the Pacific! -It''s not good to use people without proof! -I thought she was the vignteing to catch the mistress, but it turns out she doesn''t even know who the mistress is! -She''s ignorant of luxury firms, she doesn''t even know the editor-in-chief of "Excellent Taste", possibly she''s also lying about being a richdy, isn''t she? *** Mica suddenly shook the phone in her hand and said faintly. -I have recorded all our conversations in response to your repeated personal attacks on me..... The phone was still on the recording screen. -Ivanna, please apologize to Mica, otherwise it''s a big deal to vite someone''s reputation! Alba smirked and thought to herself, "Mica is great!". Ivanna blushed, grunted loudly and turned to run away. The audience sighed, "And she leaves like that without an apology?". -Thank you," said Mica gratefully to Gael. Alba looked to where he had disappeared andughed. -She got away with it! Gael looked at Mica appreciatively and discreetly handed her his card. -Here''s my card, beautifuldy, please take it, I''d like to invite you to model for the cover of the next "Excellent Taste"! Mica had a moment of confusion... To be a model? Her? Unconsciously, she took the card and approached Alba, looking at the card in her hand. Editor-in-chief of "Excelente Gusto": Gael Mariano. -Ms. Noboa, don''t hesitate to contact me if you are interested. With that said, Gael nodded his head in greeting and returned to his ce at the party with his friends. -Mica, what about that, are you interested? Alba pulled Mica to sit down and pushed the beer toward Mica. Mica shook her head. -Hey, I was picturing you as a model and someday you and Adriana get on the same stage and leave her on the floor... ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I''m cracking up at the thought of it! -She has studied this. I''m no match for her, so don''t dream. -Okay, I''ll stop dreaming,e on, drink up, cheers! Forget that episode! The two continued talking again. Carlos, who was sitting upstairs, taking it all in, suddenly pulled out his cell phone and called Diego. -Call the sessor of the Gbert Group and tell him that his sister is at Moontime and toe and pick her up. Ernesto deduced what was going on based on what he was doing. -Why didn''t you go down to save the girl yourself, instead of directing Gael toe over? Look, he gave her the business card and offered her a job, watch out he takes away your only love! Carlos looked at him out of the corner of his eye. -The person I love is in front of me, where is yours? Ernesto winced, "All right, that was a low blow, what a friend I have!". *** When you get to a certain point, you can''t stop drinking, obviously you would be too dizzy to drink, but you still couldn''t put the bottle down. For example, Mica and Alba.... What happened to fruit beer and not getting drunk? Carlos was upstairs, looking at Mica evidently drunk, with a slight smile on his face. It turned out that she was so charming when she let her guard down and opened her heart.... -Tsk, tsk, tsk, Carlos, I can''t believe you can go so far for a woman... Those bodyguards dressed as Carlos looked at him and said nothing. -I really understand you, your girl is too beautiful, even more so when she''s drunk. If it weren''t for the bodyguards around, she wouldn''t be able to get drunk so freely. She had a good view from upstairs, and saw several men looking at her. -Thend on the east side is yours. Ernesto''s jaw dropped. The bidding for the east zonend was in full swing, it was a project worth millions and millions and all the Tdiapanies were moring for thend. Ernesto was trying to remember what he had just said and what had pleased the king''s heart. "Shit, could that be from your girl? Ay, why didn''t I call her more affectionately?". The door to the bar opened and Mateo Gbert, who looked a little like Alba, came striding in. A quick nce around and he immediately found a drunken Alba in the corner. Sitting across from her... Mica smiled softly, one hand on her chin, her eyes misty as she watched Alba, sitting across from her, dance around talking about something. She felt so rxed and at ease in that moment, as if her whole body was floating. Mateo looked at Mica and was a little lost in thought, "This woman was so beautiful you couldn''t take your eyes off her...". He felt a searing vision behind him that seemed to burn his back. He turned and looked around and saw no one suspicious.... Matthew strided forward in the direction of Alba, but was stopped in his tracks by arge man with his hand outstretched. Mateo looked at the man, dressed in ordinary clothes, but with the attitude of a professional bodyguard. Another bodyguard-looking man stepped forward and said something behind the ear of the man who had stopped Mateo, who then withdrew his hand and took a seat at a nearby table. Mateo looked around again and noticed that there were several bodyguards dressed as ordinary people sitting around in a scattered fashion. Thinking about the call he had just taken toe here, Mateo had an answer in mind. That man wasn''t protecting his sister, he was protecting the other one, wasn''t he? Chapter 27 : My Mouth Is Here.... Chapter 27 : My Mouth Is Here.... Chapter 27 : My mouth is here.... Mateo looked at Mica, who was already slumped over the table, and immediately averted his gaze to Alba, who was also almost unconscious from drinking, and called out to her in a low voice. -Alba! Alba turned around, saw her brother who seemed to be very angry, let out a giggle and elbowed Mica, who was already asleep. -Mica, I''m hallucinating. I''m seeing my brother... -Hey, Mica, are you asleep? We have to go on... -Tomorrow, tomorrow I''ll go back to Mangzarent Nation secretly... Alba copsed on the table and fellpletely asleep. Mateo took a deep breath and wordlessly signaled the waiter. -The bill. -Mr. Aguayo has paid for all the drinks today. Mateo stood for a moment, nodded his head, raised his hand and picked up his sister and left. It wasn''t long before Carlos arrived in front of Mica. Mica had her hand on her face, her eyes tightly closed, no one knew what she had dreamed, but she had a smile on her lips. Carlos took Mica by the waist, and as she snuggled into the wide embrace, she smelled a familiar, fresh scent of man that made her feel safe, and her small hands consciously grasped the clothes on his chest as she sank her head into his arms. Carlos looked down, she was sound asleep, her face flushed and her long eyshes casting a shadow under her eyes. The people around couldn''t help but stare at him, but they dared not make a sound. The man was handsome and extraordinary, he wore a handmade suit that looked valuable to the naked eye, and his aura was so powerful that he looked like a king. The crowd watched him stride away with the woman in his arms, followed by a line of bodyguards. This must be a real tycoon! Carlos came out with Mica in his arms and Diego was already by the car waiting. -Sir. Diego saw with astonishment that his master got out with a woman in his arms, and upon closer inspection he noticed that it was Miss Noboa. Hurrying to open the back seat, Carlos motioned for him to open the passenger side. Diego immediately did as he was told. Carlos carefully ced her in the passenger seat, then took off his jacket and covered her up, then buckled her in, her hot breath hitting Carlos'' face, with the faint smell of wine.... Carlos looked at Mica''s face, her lips, red and.... Mica slowly opened her eyes and saw the handsome face erged in front of her, and her head Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. dizzy, not knowing if it was a dream or reality, she murmured: -Bad, you''vee to tease me again? -What? Carlos was puzzled. -I know you were buckling my seatbelt, not trying to kiss me.... Looking into her misty eyes, it took all his strength not to kiss her immediately. People were already standing outside the car to see her beauty, "Only I can see her!". Carlos closed the door, walked to the driver''s side, looked at Diego and a group of bodyguards and exined: -Go home. After saying this, he got into his car, started it up and drove off. Diego watched the car drive off and thought, "Sir, I came here to be your chauffeur, and you just left me? Was he going back to Nyisrenda or to his residence? After some deliberation, Carlos drove to Barrio Fann, Mica''s neighborhood. Mica leaned back in her leather-backed seat and opened her dazed eyes to look at Carlos driving, thinking she was in a dream, "His profile is very handsome, no, he looks good from any angle, he''s God''s most perfect work, isn''t he?". It would be rare for any girl to see him and not get her heart racing, wouldn''t it? -Carlos... Mica cried out softly, a soft tone that made Carlos'' heart tremble. Repressing the agitation of his heart, Carlos looked back at her and asked: -What''s the matter, don''t you feel well? Mica shook her head slightly, feeling especiallyfortable as if she were in the clouds, and spoke without thinking at all: -You are so beautiful.... Carlos smiled, he should be the one to say that. -Actually, you asked Sofia to give me those two dresses, didn''t you? They are limited editions that haven''t gone on sale yet.... It hurt to think that she had washed that dress by rubbing it hard. Carlos looked at Mica and didn''t answer. Mica would blurt out anything while drunk and now poured out her questions in a torrent: -But there is no other girl in your house, so where did this dresse from? And why does the size fit perfectly? Did your ex-girlfriend leave it? Mica had a puzzled look on her face, her little red face was particrly delicate and cute. Carlos scrutinized Mica, knowing she was drunk and knowing she probably wouldn''t remember if he told her, but spoke anyway to exin. -Except for the dress I gave you when I met you the first time? Carlos paused and then said: -As for the other two, I asked Diego to bring them. As for the size... Carlos gave him another look. -I have the eye for it. -Oh... Mica nodded with apparent understanding, her misty eyes looked at Carlos and murmured. -Thank you for breakfast this morning, and, for saving mest night, and, for saving me the other time, and, thank you for telling me.... "That I would stay by your side...". Thisst sentence was uttered by Mica in her sleep. She fell asleep again. Carlos bent down and lifted her detached jacket, then looked ahead to concentrate on driving. -Carlos said, "No need to thank me. Besides, I don''t have an ex-girlfriend. Arriving at themunity, Mica was still asleep. He parked the car and entered the building with Mica in his arms. Everyone who passed by gave him curious nces as Carlos entered the elevator without a second nce. Standing at the door of the apartment, Carlos had to put her down. Mica, unsteady, leaned on Carlos'' arms and opened her eyes to look around confused... -The keys," Carlos told her. Mica, however, was puzzled and rubbed her forehead hard against Carlos'' chest, as if trying to relieve her dizziness.... The kittenish gesture took Carlos'' breath away.... He hugged Mica, his hand searched her purse for the key and finally opened the door. The light came on and Mica was carried inside, her feet were weak, but Carlos lifted her up and carried her straight into the bedroom. Tucking her in, Carlos tried to get out, but he saw Mica''s eyes widen unblinking as she looked at him. Carlos looked into her moist eyes, sat on the edge of the bed, moved to her delicate cheek, ran his hand through her hair, then leaned over and nted a soft kiss on her forehead.... -Good night. Carlos'' voice was suppressed and muffled. He was about to get up when Mica grabbed his hand with a quick movement, then brought her other hand to her lips and murmured: -My mouth is here..... Chapter 28 : SheS So Cute When SheS Drunk! Chapter 28 : She''S So Cute When She''S Drunk! Chapter 28 : She''s so cute when she''s drunk! With a noise, Charles, as if he heard the blood rush to his brain, unhesitatingly attached himself, stopping just as he was about to touch her lips, and asked in a low voice: -Who am I? Carlos knew she was drunk and didn''t want her not to know who had kissed her.... -Carlos... Thest word was taken to his mouth.... Once he touched her lips, Carlos didn''t want to let go, the fragrance of her body filled the surroundings, her mouth had the faint smell of wine... That kiss went from intense, to tender, to affectionate.... Carlos forced himself to let her go, his eyes were already watery... -Sleep, good girl. Mica slowly closed her eyes. "She''s so cute when she''s drunk!". In the future, she could drink in moderation, as long as she went with him! After a deep look at her sleeping face, Carlos turned off the light and closed the door again. After picking up the zer he had just dropped on the sofa, he wanted to leave. Walking to the door, he hesitated again, returned to the couch and sat down. He still wanted to stay here, even if it was just to sit. The way he acted was because he had been drinking. He knew that with her personality of refusing to stand up to him, she could not have acted so boldly if it weren''t for the alcohol.... At the thought of that kiss, Carlos took a deep breath and pushed his reverie aside. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number. -Sir. -Diego, regarding the Gbert Group contract from two days ago, he reports that we are working with them. The profit share will be 60% for them. -He begged us to work with them, so 60% belongs to us... You''re not going to think about it? Diego hesitated for a reason. Once there was cooperation with Grupo Aguayo, the list of future projects was endless, and having Grupo Aguayo as a partner was a leap to the giants. People would want to work with Grupo Aguayo even without benefits. -It was decided this way. -All right... -Send me a suit, I''m in Barrio Fan?o. Diego was again severely shocked and immediately thought about the coboration that had just taken ce, it must be rted to Miss Noboa, she was the only one who could make the gentleman do the unthinkable every time. -Well, but, sir, we have a flight tomorrow morning at 6:00 a. m.... -I know, I''ll meet you at the airport tomorrow. -Okay. *** Mica woke up at dawn and groped without finding her phone near her pillow. She looked up and saw her purse on the nightstand next to her. She took her phone out of the bag and looked at it, it was only six o''clock.... She rubbed her head as if she had forgotten something.... She sat up and ran her hand over her lips... "I think I dreamt that Carlos kissed mest night!". Burying her face in the nket, Mica thought to herself, "How embarrassing, I can''t believe I had that dream." -God! Mica raised her head and remembered that Alba had returned yesterday. After talking to Alba yesterday, she took her to the bar and that beer tasted great.... Ivanna came looking for a fight and ended up running away.... Then there was a lot of talking with Alba, she drank a lot, andter, it looked like she saw Carlos.... Mica pulled her hair in a bit of a panic, what the hell had happened yesterday? How had she gotten back? Where was Alba? She was secretly back without her family knowing! Mica rushed to pick up the phone and call Alba. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up and it was Alba''s sleepy voice. -Mica, what''s wrong? -Alba, where are you? Alba, on the other end of the line, also sounded stunned, and it took her a while to answer. -Fuck, why am I at home! I''m dying, my brother is going to skin me... Mica, where are you? -I''m at home, too... -But are you all right? -Alba asked carefully. Mica didn''t notice the sudden difference in Alba''s tone and answered: -I''m fine. -I''ll talk to youter. I''ll go out and see what''s going on and catch up with youter. After saying this, she hung up the phone. Mica hung up her phone. Alba was home, it was a relief. She wasn''t going to a bar again! What a shitty drink that doesn''t make you drunk, if in the end they both ended up drunk as hell! She didn''t even remember how she had gotten home, it was too dangerous! She opened the door and, although her mind was fuzzy, she vaguely remembered seeing Carlos, cuddling in a warm embrace, hearing a strong heartbeat, and the kiss.... Was it a dream, or was it real? Mica''s suspicions were immediately confirmed when she saw, on the back of the sofa, a man''s suit.... Mica picked up the jacket lying on the sofa, the smell was so familiar.... Leaving the clothes in a trance, she wanted to go wash her face to clear her head. In the bathroom, in theundry basket there were white shirts, suit pants.... Mica blushed and looked away, only to see that in the washbasin ss, where normally there was only a toothbrush, was today apanied by a blue one... There was also one more towel hanging on the wall.... Mica''s face was burning.... Mica ran out of the bathroom and got back into bed. "Ahhhhhhh, how crazy, the world is really crazy!". Mica discovered that she felt something sweet in her heart and she was happy! It was Carlos who had brought her yesterday and kissed her.... She sank her head under the nket as if that would rid her of the strange feeling that was overflowing in her heart.... It was a while before Mica peeked her head out, her face suffocated and red. She had to get up, she had to go to work today, she couldn''t stand here thinking about it! Then, forcing herself to stay calm, she strided out, headed straight for the bathroom, showered, brushed her teeth and face, and put on the outfit she''d prepared yesterday. Standing in front of the mirror, she was especially pleased with the white shirt withpel cor and ck pants, the whole look looked very professional. She looked at the neckline again and then pulled her hair into a bun. Mica looked in the mirror at the modestpels and thought, "Why do I remember being obsessed with thesepels and high cors? When did that start?" This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Forget it, it doesn''t matter if I like thepel or the high cor, now I have to go to the kitchen to get something to eat!". Mica headed for the kitchen, where there was left of the eggs and noodles she boughtst time.... There was a knock at the door. Mica went to the front door. She asked who it was before opening the door. -Meitua, takeout, your Ss Caribe has arrived! Mica opened the door and it really was Meitua''s delivery man. -Your breakfast! Enjoy your meal and give us 5 stars if you are satisfied. Thank you. Unconsciously epting the bag he handed her, Mica was puzzled. -I didn''t order food! -Are you Miss Noboa? -Yes. -Then it''s for you, I also checked the address, it''s correct. I''m leaving then, goodbye! Closing the door, Mica loaded her breakfast, returned to the table and sat down, with the answer already in her mind. Chapter 29 : Standing On My Own Merits! Chapter 29 : Standing On My Own Merits! Chapter 29 : Standing on my own merits! So Carlos hadn''t left recently, had he? Mica looked at the couch, had he spent the night there again? Mica bit her lip and opened the package. Today''s was some porridge with a few snacks, very much to Mica''s taste. After eating and picking up, she found a bag and blushed as she folded the suit jacket from the couch, then the pants from the bathing suit and shirts, they were clothes worth a lot of money and would have to be sent to theundry. Mica bit her lip and washed the remaining socks, then washed her own clothes and hung them on the balcony.... She prepared the necessary things for work, took the clothes for dry cleaning, thinking there was a dry cleaner in the neighborhood, closed the door and went out. After dropping off the clothes at the dry cleaners, Mica took the bus to work. Once at the Nubcancion building, the design department was on the 8th floor. As she entered the empty elevator, the door was about to close, and a man ran up to her, Mica hurried to stop the door from closing. The man stepped inside and thanked her. He smiled at Mica in his gray suit and gold-rimmed sses, looking svelte. With a polite nod, Mica looked away. She was then followed by an elegantly dressed woman, and they stood to the left and right of the elevator. The man, however, looked at Mica thoughtfully for a long moment, until the other woman coughed dryly a couple of times and then looked away. Mica was immune to men''s stares, and when she reached her floor, she walked out without noticing the man and woman behind her.... Presumably Kiki had exined it to her beforehand and the receptionist went straight through the initiation process. It was a suite-like office with a sign on the door that said Design Department 2. When she walked in, it was arge room with green nts all around and apartmentalized office area in the center, to which no people had yet arrived. The two women who had arrived gave Mica a curious nce and then looked down to do their business. Further inside, the sign on the door read, "Designer''s Office." The man at the front desk opened the door right away and told Mica to step into the office and wait. Mica walked in and examined the area. Was this where Ms. Kiki used to create? The furniture was simple, not too much stuff and well organized. It didn''t take long for Kiki to arrive, still wearing the same simple professional outfit from yesterday, with discreet colors, no makeup and very approachable. She saw Mica and greeted her cordially. -Mica, you''re here. Have youpleted the onboarding process? -Yes. -Good,e with me. Kiki herself led her outside to the office area, where there were already people and someone could be seen in all the cubicles except the empty one. They came to the only cubicle that was empty. Kiki pped her hands and everyone looked up. -We have a new member on our team today, Mica! Mica smiled kindly and looked at her new partner who stood up. Two teammates and three teammates. One of the men whistled and looked excitedly at another teammate, as if to say, "Oh, how beautiful!" -Hello, everyone, my name is Mica! Mica greeted briefly and the colleagues immediately rushed to say their names. Kiki adopted the big sister posture, making a face of circumstance and saying: Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. -Look at your faces, haven''t you ever seen a pretty girl or what! Don''t scare her! Then sheughed. -We''re all colleagues from now on, so let''s be nice. The office filled withughter. Mica''s mood was also much more rxed. Kiki exined a few simple things and then went into the inner office. Mica sat down on the stool and the colleague next to her immediately sat down and slid over to her. -Mica, hello, my name is Ana! The girl had very elegant and yful short hair, looking super nice. -Hello! Mica answered with a smile. -We have a chat group for work. I''ll add you. That''s where the boss sends the missions. Besides that, we also have an internal chat group.... Mica carefully followed her instructions and it wasn''t long before she received a message in the group where Kiki said something about the day''s work and everyone went about their business.... Before they knew it, it was noon and time to leave work. A bespectacled colleague approached Mica''s table first and said excitedly: -Mica, we have a canteen in thepany, on the 4th floor, shall we have lunch together? Seeing Mica''s dilemma, Ana, who was next to her, approached her. -Mica has already made an appointment! -Yes, I have already met Ana.... Mica hurried to take it calmly, giving Ana a grateful look. Thepanion had to leave with a sigh. One by one, the people who were in the office left, and Kiki greeted those who were still in the office and went out. -Thank you, Ana! -Nothing, I forgot to tell you, your phone is on vibrate all the time! Mica then remembered that she had put her phone on silent on the way in.... When she took it out of the drawer, there were six missed calls, all from Alba. She quickly called her back. -Aunt, you finally answered the phone! -Alba... -I brought you food. What floor are you on? The action figure was her! Ana gathered her things, waved to Mica and went out. Alba soon arrived with two lunch boxes. Mica picked up the table and Alba took out her things as she looked around for a moment. -It''s not a bad atmosphere! I know thedy from the Nunez family a little, do you want me to call her and ask her to take care of you? -No, no! Mica tly refused. -I knew you would be like that, not taking advantage of such a good resource! If you had gone straight to work for my brother''spany, it would have been a simple matter of me saying so! Mica distributed the disposable cutlery and pulled up a chair for her friend to sit on. -I don''t like that. I like to keep my feet on the ground and stand on my own merits. Alba looked at Mica''s delicate, serene profile. That''s how it was when she was in college, Mica didn''t ask for a penny from the Elvira family, she earned it all herself. Sometimes when he saw that she was in a really difficult situation he wanted to help her, but she wouldn''t ept it, and when she really had no other choice, he would borrow it and then pay her back as expected. Mica, who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, gave Alba grief. Mica looked at the dishes, all of which she loved. Mica looked at Alba, the pampereddy should have packed food from some big hotel. Since she wasn''t answering the phone, she came with the lunch boxes herself. After the meal, Mica took out the trash and when she returned, she saw Alba waiting for her with her legs crossed. -Dear Mica, is there something you''re not telling me? Chapter 30 : That Thing About Destiny Comes Up Whether God Wills It Or Not. Chapter 30 : That Thing About Destiny Comes Up Whether God Wills It Or Not. Chapter 30 : That thing about destinyes up whether God wills it or not. Mica immediately thought of Carlos and her little face couldn''t help but blush. -You know what, I could have gone back to Mangzarent Nation with no trouble and without a trace, but Mica took care to sit next to him and asked with a worried face. -Did your brother scold you? Did he scold you? -Not only did he not scold me, he even doubled my pay! Tell me honestly, who is this magical person? Why didn''t my brother punish me? He just told me to go back to Mangzarent Nation and finish the rest of my sses? Alba still remembered in her mind the morning when Mateo,pletely unperturbed and making a meaningfulment, cleared his throat and, imitating his brother''s tone, said to Mica: -You''ve done me a big favor by sneaking back this time, so get along with your best friend. Mica looked lost. -Hey, this is what my brother told me, he got a callst night, from Mr. Ocampo! Do you know who Mr. Ocampo is? Mica did not answer, her mind remembered that thest time she was at the jewelry store, the vice president addressed the man wearing Carlos as Mr. Ocampo. Seeing that he did not answer, Alba spoke to herself: -My brother didn''t tell me who Mr. Ocampo was either, but Mr. Ocampo told my brother that I was at the bar! And he told my brother toe pick me up! Mica looked at Alba with surprise and asked: -And then your brother came? -Yes, I remember seeing him, but I thought it was a hallucination. Mica resisted the urge tough and continued asking. -And then what? Did you go back to your brother? And me? -Yes, that''s what I asked, I was so angry and said how could my brother leave my best friend in a bar like that! Alba cleared her throat and continued to imitate her brother''s tone of voice: -It''s thanks to her that you''re here safe and sound! She has someone to protect her! Do you think you could have drunk yourselves so drunk if that person hadn''t been protecting you? Mica froze, now that she thought about it, andst night, indeed, after Ivanna left, no one bothered them again! Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. The music in the bar had also changed to very soft tunes, as if it had been transformed into a lounge bar. That atmosphere made him let his guard down and he drank too much without realizing it.... So, in fact, Carlos was at the bar the whole time? -Well, dear Mica, here''s the question, who is that guy? Mica bit her lip, knowing she couldn''t hide it anymore, so she had to tell him about Carlos briefly, from how they had met to the night before. But she skipped scenes like the kissst night! -Carlos... Alba raised an eyebrow. -And he has a ck card... It would be that man, no doubt. It was no wonder Mica had turned him down. Alba was the miss of the Gbert Group, which was a far cry from the Aguayo Group, but at least she was a member of the upper ss and knew a little about the head of the three great families of all Tdia, the Aguayo family. Carlos was rumored to be handsome, young and discreet, and he was not adies'' man! He had always been a myth of Tdia! Now it seemed that he was indeed adies'' man, only in the past he had never met Mica. Mica looked at Alba and waited attentively for her to continue. -It''s all right, Mica, don''t be nervous. Alba didn''t understand what Mica was thinking and what was bothering her, so instead of exining who Carlos was, Alba said what she was thinking. -That fate thinges up whether God wills it or not, don''t think about it so much, some people go their whole lives without meeting someone who makes their heart beat! I can tell you definitely have feelings for him..... Alba saw her blush again.... It was all written all over her face. It looked like there was no hope for her to be his sister-inw..... She had fantasized countless times about being his sister-inw in the future. Alba took Mica''s hand and looked into her eyes. -Just be brave enough to face your feelings for him, let yourself go with your heart, don''t deliberately try to repress it and don''t think about how it will end. And it''s up to you to work together on the oue or whatever, do you understand? A man who was at the top of the pyramid and yet had zero scandals was in no wayparable to a yboy like Marcos. Mica felt that she was right, and even felt suddenly tempted to call Carlos.... But suddenly something urred to her. That sh of thought made her face, which had been pink, suddenly turn white.... -Mica! Alba''s heart stuttered and she screamed. She clutched her shoulders with a look of horror and hurried to change the subject. -Mica, my brother told me toe back to Mangzarent Nation this afternoon. Mica slowly came back to her senses, what had happened to her? She seemed to have forgotten something very important and she was about to remember it? Alba, seeing that she was still ignoring her, got a little nervous and shook her shoulder hard. -Since you''ve had Carlos, you don''t even care about me anymore," she said. Mica finally heard the pimple, and the thoughts she had just had were immediately put to the back of her mind as she blushed slightly. -No... Are you leaving this afternoon? Mica was immediately engulfed with the sadness of parting from her best friend.... Alba was secretly relieved. Perhaps only Carlos could help Mica in that matter. But he was known for being discreet, maybe even Mateo wouldn''t have his contact, so what was she to do? Alba was secretly determined to find a way to contact Carlos privately. -Don''t miss me, I''m graduating in two months! Let''s go to the graduation ceremony when I get back! Mica nodded vigorously. The two talked some more about Adriana, Alba exined that she had to be on guard, until it was time to go to work, the two reluctantly parted ways. After saying goodbye to Alba, Mica felt empty and had a little trouble adjusting for a while. "Now I''ll be able to face Carlos," Mica thought. Without thinking about any other external conditioning, just letting herself be carried away by her heart, without resisting his approach, even desiring it.... -Mica,e in for a second! -said Kiki as she pounded on Mica''s desk. It was then that Mica realized she had been unintentionally distracted. -Okay! She stood up quickly and followed Kiki. Seeing the office door close, the two women in the cubicle at the back immediately gathered around and whispered to each other. She''s just a pretty face, who knows if she''s a plug-in! -The manager treats her very well! -Yes, but I don''t like her! -That order was returned countless times, let''s see what she can do as a rookie. Chapter 31 : Her Confident Smile Was Enchanting Chapter 31 : Her Confident Smile Was Enchanting Chapter 31 : Her confident smile was enchanting Ana stood up, looked at Josefina and said in a low voice. -That''s enough. She hasn''t offended you, it''s not bad to be pretty! -Haha, they are jealous that she is prettier than them! A colleague joked saying. Josefina threw her pen at him. -Ya! You haven''t received your orders yet, so don''t waste your time! Another colleague intervened to stop him, and this time they all fell silent. Ana also sat down. Leaving the door closed, Mica approached the desk. Kiki handed her a document and she took it. -This design book, we''ve had it for two months. Everyone in the office has tried it, even the first and third sectors. The clients are not happy with any of the designs, so tell me your idea tomorrow. Mica gave it a cursory nce. It was a design request for a custom ne model. Kiki handed her another folder. -These are the client''s details, and you can contact her. -Okay. -Don''t rush the drawing, read the information first and talk to me tomorrow if you have any ideas. Kiki looked at Mica. -I believe in you. Mica looked up and smiled. -Me too! Because just now I had an idea as I was flipping through the requirements. Kiki also smiled as she watched Mica leave the office. Mica, she was special. And her confident smile, it was charming. *** When she left work and tried to catch the bus, she saw across the street, the mall where she had bought her clothes earlier, and somehow got inside. When she came out, she was carrying a nket. "In case you want to stay over one day, I can at least provide you with a nket..... " She shook her head to rid him of this idea! "It''s just that I''m afraid of the cold, so I''m going to buy it, that''s it!" She tried not to blush. When I returned to the neighborhood, she hurried to take the clothes from the dry cleaners. Since the clothes were very expensive, and also expedited, it cost her a lot of money. Back home, he dropped off the bags, sat down on the couch, and looked at the SMS bnce on his bank card, which was enough to keep until payday. Leaving a portion, he transferred the rest of the money to another ount. It belonged to the director of the orphanage where she had lived for two years as a child. Most of the money she saved, she contributed to the orphanage. That ce was not in good condition, and thanks to the director, the orphanage was not closed and so many children had shelter. Since she was able to do so, Mica returned the favor to the orphanage little by little, and to help more disced children.... The cell phone suddenly vibrated and it was a Whatsapp message. -Dear, I''ve arrived! It was a message from Alba. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mica was about to reply, and before she could write, she received message after message. -I just arrived and I miss you so much! -How are you feeling on your first day of work? -Have you been in touch with Carlos? -Have you also told him that you like him? Behind them was a string of evil smiley emojis. "Can you let me respond to your messages?" -You''re ignoring me. Okay, I''m going to eat. I''m hungry. "You didn''t give me a chance to send a message, okay?" -Have a good rtionship haha, bye, kiss. Mica wrote and deleted, and when he saw thest message she sent, he gave up. She looked up to look at the man''s clothes.... Shyly burying her head in the pillow. After straightening his mood, he picked up his cell phone and set out to take the first step to contact Carlos. As she had saved his phone number, so a prompt to add Carlos as a friend had appeared some time ago, but he hadn''te to add himself. He decided to take the initiative. In the notes, she wrote: I''m Mica. As if doing something very important, Mica took a deep breath and then clicked. Send! Mica hung up the cell phone and immediately flipped through the information of the client she had brought in today, she wasn''t going to wait for the answer all the time.... This was a twenty-one year old girl who was ready to enter the entertainment industry, so she wanted a sparkly ne to wear when she officially debuted on the runway. The client''s profile didn''t include her real name, just a stage name, Ivanna. They were the same age and from the same university. Mica felt that something was strange, but she didn''t give it another thought. It was the dream of many girls to enter the entertainment industry. She looked at her phone, but there was still no answer. "Maybe he''s busy." She gathered up the information, walked into the room, sat down at the desk and started drawing. Although Kiki had said not to rush, words could not be as convincing as a design. A sketch also took time and effort. She was so hungry that she realized it was already nine o''clock at night. He hurriedly put down the pen and paper, went to cook noodles for dinner, and then took a bath before returning to his room. He checked to see that he still hadn''t received a reply. For what she had decided, Mica had no regrets. So she put the phone down and kept drawing until she was too tired to go to bed. The next day, when she arrived at the office, everyone was there. She sat down in her seat and continued with the design. Anne came over, took a look and eximed. -Wow, you draw very well! The rest of her colleagues heard this, leaned over and couldn''t help but admire her. -How nice! -Kiki chose the right person! Josefina, who had spoken ill of Mica yesterday, also took a look and said to another colleague. -It''s nd, the client decides if it''s good or not. In fact, Mica had recognized that Josefina was the same as yesterday in the elevator, but she did not know where that inexplicable hostility of hers came from.... -You''re right. That client is so difficult to deal with, she''s not satisfied with many of our designs. -Mr. Berganza''s design in the first department was somewhat simr to hers, but it failed as usual. Ana was not happy and responded: -Are you kidding me? You can see that the concept ispletely different. Chapter 32 : Why Did You Come Here? Chapter 32 : Why Did You Come Here? Chapter 32 : Why did youe here? Josefina gave him a contemptuous look. -So what, Mr. Berganza is highly qualified and has won numerous awards. But your designs have not caught the attention of that client? She looked askance at Mica and continued: -What is his qualification? Ana tried to contradict her when Mica stopped her. She looked at the colleagues around her and said calmly: -She is right. I don''t have a lot of experience, nor am I sure Kiki is satisfied. Let''s not argue about this. -Let''s not argue about this. Josefina sat back in her seat, and everyone dispersed. Soon Kiki appeared and asked Mica to enter the office. And she came in with the design. -Is the drawing done? Kiki sat down in front of the office table and took the drawing. -It''s just a sketch, there are still many details to be added. Kiki said nothing more and looked at it carefully. It didn''t take her long to look up with a grateful look. -Mica, you are the most modest designer I''ve ever seen! She put down the design and looked at Mica. -You haven''t let me down! Come on, try to make it perfect. Then I''ll inform Ivanna toe and see it. And this task is officially in your hands! As soon as Mica returned to her position, Ana immediately approached and asked: -What did Kiki say? The other people were listening well. -I''m responsible for the design. -You''re great! The colleagues whispered again, and Ana wanted to say something again, but Mica stopped her. "I''ll prove myself with facts!" Three days had passed and it was Friday. It was almost the end of the job, and the design sketches were already finished. Theputer drawing part, she decided to leave for next Monday, taking the weekend off. How many times he had looked at his cell phone.... There was still no answer. He couldn''t help guessing the reason. "Could it be that he doesn''t use Whatsapp?" "Or is he too busy to check it?" -Everyone! We are meeting tonight to wee our new colleagues. Kiki suddenly came out to announce. She didn''t want to join in, as she didn''t like the hustle and bustle of the asion. But as a new colleague, she could not refuse. The dinner was held at Hotel Oasis, close to thepany. It was only a ten-minute walk with Ana. Thepany had reserved a veryrge private room with three tables. Nubcancion treated the employees well. The food was very tasty. Halfway through the meal, the more active ones started to toast. -Mica, let''s toast! A bespectacled man approached with a tall ss. Mica raised her ss of juice, smiled in response and took a sip. -You''re new, so you can ask me if you don''t understand something. -Mr. Berganza, you''re from the first department. If she has a problem, she should ask someone from her own department. The colleague from the same department interrupted him. She replied with a smile: -Thank you. Everyone in my department takes good care of me. The implication was that there was no need to ask him specifically. Mica recognized it. When she first arrived at thepany, she had met him in the elevator, as she was on the same floor, and she also bumped into him often. Mica was also very clear about it, but his attitude had shown very obviously. Mr. Berganza smiled warmly, nodded and left. This matter passed quickly, but no one noticed that a sensual nce was directed at Mica.... She kept a proper distance from all her male colleagues. This action was much appreciated by her female colleagues. The beautiful woman always stood out, but she was so discreet and dressed so simply that she did not exert the slightest pressure on the others. They were all in the same apartment and on the same floor, so they often passed each other. When Mica first arrived, they did not pay much attention to her. However, after a few days, they felt that she was too good to get along with, and did not have the superiority that she was a beautiful woman. Thepanions also put aside their prejudices and they got to know each other. After eating together, they could already chat as if they knew each other very well. Kiki suddenly took a call and went out for a while. When she came back, she brought two people with her. -Hello everyone! Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. A woman''s voice rang out as the door opened. Everyone looked up at the sound. Two elegantly dressed women walked in with Kiki. -Hey, isn''t that Adriana, a model? People began to argue: -How pretty! -Her friend too! -Are they Kiki''s friends? ... Adriana did not see Mica. Mica frowned slightly, "Why did shee here?" "Is the person standing next to her Ivanna that I met at the barst time?" A bad feeling arose in her heart. Adriana and Ivanna were in front of the TV in the private room, where there was a section of stairs. It was the most conspicuous position. -Hi, I''m Adriana. With her characteristic smile, Adriana greeted everyone. -I know, she''s a popr model! -She''s even prettier in person! -Hello! The colleagues responded enthusiastically. Adriana smiled happily, enjoying this feeling. -Thank you all. My friend Ivanna and I are here for dinner. Coincidentally, Kiki is here too, so we came to say hello. Adriana ushered Ivanna forward. -Hi, I''m Ivanna! Ivanna looked very energetic in a pink outfit and pretty makeup. -How nice! -She looks very young. -Like a little angel! "Angelita?" Mica couldn''t help but remember the night Ivanna showed a haughty look. So she didn''t want to see them. Suddenly something urred to her. Chapter 33 : WeRe Just College Roommates. Chapter 33 : We''Re Just College Roommates. Chapter 33 : We''re just college roommates. "Ivanna?" "Could it be that client?" "It''s such a small world." The profile was pretty detailed, except for her real name, so it wasn''t hard to deduce that it was Ivanna. But when Mica was in school, she didn''t know most of her ssmates well, so looking at the profile as if it belonged to a strange client. She nced at Adriana, who had a warm smile on her face as she spoke, and it looked like the food wasn''t that good. -I''ve arranged a runway show with Ivanna on the twenty-first of this month at Garzanca. I hope everyonees. There are thirty admission tickets here and that day is the weekend..... The two went around the table to hand out the admission tickets one by one, and everyone stood up. -Adriana is very nice! -Yes, their rtionship is very good! -Give me an autographter! -Ivanna, do you have a boyfriend? ... Everyone talked to the two with enthusiasm, and they also responded to everyone. "What attitude will they have towards meter?" Kiki called out to her and came over. -"I just received news that the debut time has been moved up, so this design has be very rushed. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Can you finish it? Mica was about to speak when Ivanna and Adriana approached. -Is that you? Ivanna was very surprised, with very obvious hostility. That night, Mica made a fool of her to the point that she was still afraid to go to that bar. When she thought about it, she wanted to p her. -Mica, why are you here? Adriana also looked surprised. She sized up Mica, who was wearing a very simple work uniform and had her hair meticulously pulled back. She had been so busytely that she hadn''t expected Mica to have worked at Nubcancion! -Do you know each other? -Kiki asked in surprise. Ivannale gave Mica a dismissive look. -Yes, but we''re just college ssmates! Adriana looked at Ivanna and wanted to stop her? But she didn''t. "It''s good to let them argue." It was a pleasure to make Mica ufortable. "Ivanna''s family was rich, and she had little emotional intelligence. Suit yourself." And then Ivanna shouted despite the consequences. -Kiki, how can you let that bitch daughter into yourpany? She wears the cheap clothes, how well she knows about jewelry! Ivanna said and grabbed Kiki''s arm. With these words, everyone couldn''t help but nce at Mica. Cheap clothes? -This is ourpany uniform! Kiki is wearing it too. Ana was the first to speak up for Mica. The first time she saw her in the office, she was smitten with her, besides being close in age. The other two women in the office used to condemn Ana, so she treated Mica well. -Yes, it''s okay to dress appropriately! -Mica is not bad at all! -Yes, Mica is a discreet girl. Said thepanions, who liked Mica very much. Those who were more jealous of her beauty kept their mouths shut. One colleague joked aloud, saying: -Mica, you are so pretty. Look, your partner is going to be a star, but she''s jealous of you! Reminded by the man''sment, those present couldn''t help butpare the three of them attentively either. Although Adriana and Ivanna were very well made up, whenpared to Mica, they looked less pretty! Although Mica wore the simplest uniform, she had an unusual temperament. On the contrary, those two women looked a bit vulgar. Ivanna became embarrassed. She had said one sentence, and so many people were speaking for her! How angry! -When she was in college she worked at everything because she''s poor. How could she have the time to research luxury items like jewelry! Ivanna watched the people attentively waiting for her to say the following, and couldn''t help but raise her chin in triumph. -She has a chaotic private life, she tends to frequent bars, and on a recent asion she got drunk and was taken away by a man. -My friend is the manager of that bar! She saw him that night. It''s absolutely true! -Maybe she''s dependent on men to sustain life. Mica was speechless - her first experience of going to a bar turned into such a version! Adrianaughed in her heart: "Mica, see what you can do with her." "I don''t have to do anything to make you lose face!" -Son of a bitch! -What a surprise! -She''s such a hypocrite! -I think she should be in the entertainment industry! ... Those who had just reserved their opinion began to say. Kiki, however, was waiting for Mica to speak. Ana still didn''t believe it, but she didn''t know how to help Mica. Mica turned away and lifted her own ss for a drink of water. Adriana stepped back, remembering that she had been sshed with water by her.... Mica put down the cup and looked at Ivanna. -You still like to falsely use someone. Unfortunately, I didn''t record it this time. Remembering that she had been recorded by herst time, Ivanna became angrier! There seemed to be a secret in this statement. Everyone in the room was waiting for how I would refute her. -I can dress however I want. -It''s okay to work part-time at the university. The colleagues nod. -As to whether I can do the job or not, Kiki has hired me personally, which is the best proof. are you going to question her? Chapter 34 : Commissioned By Carlos To Deliver You A Gift Chapter 34 : Commissioned By Carlos To Deliver You A Gift Chapter 34 : Commissioned by Carlos to deliver you a gift Mica said with a sharp look and Adriana fiercely grabbed Ivanna''s arm, but Ivanna continued. -Everyone can pick the wrong person sometimes! -I would like to ask you, when you entered our Tdia University, what were your grades? How much is your schrship from our school each semester? How many points did you get in your major? And your graduation thesis, are you prepared? These questions made Ivanna''s jaw drop. "Why are you asking me this?" Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. She knew nothing but designer clothes, handbags and makeup every day, so naturally her grades were a disaster. She was epted to Tdia University because her father had spent money. And she was too busy falling in love and even paid someone to write her graduation thesis.... Kikiughed and walked over to Mica, looking around at everyone. -How many marks Ivanna has, I don''t know, but I''m going to share with you Mica''s situation. -Mica is Tdia''s top student, guaranteed for Tdia University, and has her tuition fees fully waived. -In addition, she has earned the highest schrship for all four years of college. -He has the highest grade in his major, and his thesis, well, it''s called "On the Optical Effects of Jewelry" has appeared in several reports! The whole room was silent, looking at Mica with surprise. The plot twist was so fast that the spectators did not know what to say. She had such a high level that she could totally hold her own. How could a man be expected to hold her? -Did you just say I usually go to bars? -Mica looked at Ivanna and asked. -Yes! You were also drunk and was taken by a man," Ivanna said with conviction. "Adriana told me that Mica doesn''t have a boyfriend." -How do you know I often go to bars? Could it be that you run into me often? -Well... My friend saw it! There was no panic on Mica''s face, but a calm face. -The first time I went to a bar, I ran into you, what a coincidence! Fortunately, I recorded the whole conversation we had that day. I''m going to y it back. Saying this, Mica took out her cell phone. Ivanna and Adriana took a deep breath, especially Adriana, who was also at the bar that day. What they said absolutely could not be broadcast. Adriana grabbed Mica''s hand and dissuaded her. -Mica, we are all ssmates. Ivanna was joking and it was all a misunderstanding. -Misunderstanding? -Anna said in a particrly angry voice. -You are ndering Mica! Ivanna, you must apologize to her! "I''m going to apologize to Mica?" Ivanna said bluntly: -Not at all! Mica let go of Adriana''s hand. They were both afraid of her recording because it would involve Adriana. After all, a topic about the mistress could be very absorbing. -I don''t need an apology. Let''s listen... Ivanna took the cell phone from her and mmed it on the floor.... Everyone was surprised. It was broken! Adriana sighed in relief. "That''s good!" Ana hurried to pick it up. There were several cracks in the screen, and it didn''t light up. She was very angry. -How can you break the cell phone. You don''t deserve the support of others. -What''s wrong with breaking a cell phone? Ivanna was spoiled since she was a child and her words did not take into ount the consequences. How well-dressed she was, but how could she do such a thing! -If you''re not afraid, why did she break Mica''s cell phone? -What a pity! -There could have been some pretty scandalous content... ... When Ivanna saw that everyone was ming her, she became even more furious, leaving behind the image of her uing debut. "Anyway, I can''t make it easy for you." -You''re lying to us. You don''t actually have the recording. You''re shameless, and you want another woman''s boyfriend. He continued to verbally abuse her. Adriana was a little anxious. "You must not involve Macos and me. I have to divert everyone''s attention." She frowned, feigning concern, and asked: -Mica, is it true, were you drunk and got carried away by a man? Good question. And everyone present was curious to know. They all fell silent and looked at her. Kiki rubs her forehead as she watches the scene. She knew Ivanna was a difficultdy, but Adriana, she was the one with bad intentions. Kiki was about to say something when the door was pushed. Everyone turned to look... The first to arrive was arge bouquet of roses. The flowers were so numerous, it blocked the bearer. The whole private room was instantly filled with the scent. Then came two rows of men, and all dressed in ck suits and two exquisite bags. A handsome man appeared.... Ernesto was very pleased with the way Carlos had arranged this appearance for him! Everyone was bbergasted, why such an impressive line up, did they have the wrong room? Kiki recognized him as Ernesto. She was about to say something when she saw him take the big handful of roses, and walked towards Mica.... Mica was also surprised and unconsciously tried to dodge.... -Miss Mica, Carlos asked me toe specifically to give you a gift, wishing you the best in your new job! Wasn''t this handsome man the protagonist? Those present were astonished. Carlos? Mica felt incredible, she hugged the bouquet of roses, very lost? -Miss Mica, your boyfriend is on a business trip in Fracimon Nation, so he arranged especially for you and his new colleagues, a gift. Chapter 35 : Do You Like The Gift? Chapter 35 : Do You Like The Gift? Chapter 35 : Do you like the gift? The whole room was in an uproar. -How happy Mica is! -How romantic! -Only new colleagues get gifts? Ernesto beckoned, and they immediately distributed the beautiful bags to everyone except Adriana and Ivanna! -It''s a Swarovski bracelet! It is so beautiful. -Mine is from AGATHA, I love it! -And I get a Cartier ne! For male colleagues, they received Hugoboss ties, or Breguet watches, which were very practical. -Mica, your boyfriend is so generous! -Every gift is very expensive, your boyfriend is so rich! ... Adriana and Ivanna were full of anger... Ernesto stood in front of Ivanna. And she swallowed saliva and looked at him, "He is so tall and handsome..." He smiled and said: -Miss Ivanna,st time at the bar, Carlos paid for everyone''s drinks but yours. I forgot to mention that I am the owner of Moontime, please remember to pay for them! He looked at the handsome man and got so excited he didn''t know what to say. -The man Ivanna mentioned is actually Mica''s boyfriend, right? -Wow, that''s a big misunderstanding! -It''s normal for him to bring his drunk girlfriend home! The crowd began to chatter again. Ernesto answered her with a contemptuous look and then a man immediately brought her another gift. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. He approached Mica and handed it to her: -This is for you, and Carlos asked me not to refuse it again, okay? -Mica, why did he refuse it? -He''s chasing Mica, isn''t he? -My God, it''s hard to find such a good boyfriend. Don''t reject him! ... Mica''s heart was beating violently, what she was holding in her hand was Carlos'' Heartbeat, which she had deliberately left in her car thest time.... -Yes, it''s so sincere! Mica hurried to take it. -Open it! -Let''s see what it is! All the ssmates gathered around with expectant looks. Mica bit her lip and slowly opened the package..... It''s a four-piece set! -How beautiful! It looks like Heartbeat! -Yes, it was designed by Anr. Only one set in all of Tdia worth 199, 000 euros. -Mica, your boyfriend is too romantic. Don''t reject him... Ivanna was very jealous and said: -Your boyfriend must be an old man. The crowd could not help but murmur at these words: -To be so generous, he must be very rich, so it must be normal for him to be old! -I''ve heard that many rich old men like young women! -The news also reported about a seventy-eight year old rich man who married an eighteen year old girl. ... When Ivanna heard this, she smiled again. Ernesto''s cell phone suddenly rang. Picking up the video, he directed it directly to Mica. -Do you like the gift? The low, soft voice belonged to Carlos. Mica''s heart skipped a beat at the sight of it. She blushed and nodded. The crowd was curious and crowded around to see the face of Mica''s boyfriend. -Wow, what a young man! -Her boyfriend is so handsome. -Yes! He''s more handsome than those celebrities. -Oh, my goodness! ... Carlos looked at everyone, with a rare smile, waving: -Hello everyone! -My God! -His smile is so charming! -Mica is so happy. Suddenly, Ernesto turned in another direction towards Ivanna and Adriana, who were looking at him with a curious face. They both looked at the man in the video in surprise, without saying anything. Carlos nced at the two women and looked away. All rumors dissipated. Ernesto handed the cell phone directly to Mica. She became very nervous and her face was red. -Why can''t I get through on your phone? Carlos looked at her blushing face, which was even more dazzling than the roses beside her. Mica answered quietly: -My phone has been broken for a long time. -I''m going to buy you a new one when you get back, okay? Mica bit her lip, not knowing how to respond. Ernesto picked up the phone and said: -No flirting here, bye! And he hung up the video. -Don''t hang up! -We still want to see it. ... The reaction of the partners made Mica couldn''t help butugh. Adriana and Ivanna could no longer stay, and when they saw that everyone''s attention was on Mica, they slipped out in a hurry.... After leaving thepartment, Adriana dragged Ivanna into anotherpartment, which was empty. Both were shocked by the scene they had just witnessed. Adriana was very angry. "Who the hell is her boyfriend?" It was all Ivanna''s fault, who couldn''t teach Mica a lesson, but made herself lose face. She couldn''t help but use her: -Ivanna, you have to change your character! Don''t involve me. Chapter 36 : Maybe It Would Be Better To Give Her A Call. Chapter 36 : Maybe It Would Be Better To Give Her A Call. Chapter 36 : Maybe it would be better to give her a call. Ivanna was still reveling in the surprise of seeing Mica''s boyfriend, who was really so handsome, young and generous. When she heard Adriana''sint, she was not happy! When did anyone dare to use her? Ivanna shouted in disgust: -Mica is too cunning! Besides, if the recording is yed, you won''t get any benefit, I broke the phone for you! -You told me clearly that Mica doesn''t have a boyfriend, but I just saw that her boyfriend is better than Macos. How can she like Macos? Adriana didn''t know what to answer. "This idiot just woke up!" Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. She still needed Los Aleman''s help, so she couldn''t argue with her. She gave Ivanna a pacification: -I didn''t know she''s so smart, that she has a boyfriend like that! -Ivanna, she''s working in Nubcantion, with your rtionship with Kiki, are you afraid that you won''t be able to retaliate against her? Ivanna''s attention was sessfully diverted. -You''re right, I will have my revenge! -Yes, none of them will get off easy! *** Ernesto had left with a group of people, and the two women had also left at some point. They all went back to their seats. Mica put the phone in her purse, unable to calm down any time soon. -Mica, you should have asked Ivanna to pay for the phone! -said Ana. -It''s all right. My phone was already very old... Everyone could not help but praise Mica. He had ndered her but she didn''t bother with them for breaking her phone. The male colleagues are a bit lost. They didn''t seem to stand a chance because her boyfriend was so brilliant. The female colleagues were even happier as they had one lesspetitor. Only a beautiful woman like Mica could be worthy of such a handsome boyfriend! They liked Mica even more. -She''ll buy you a new one as soon as your boyfriendes back! -Yes, he''ll buy a global limited edition model! All her ssmates joked. -Stop it," Kiki stopped them with a smile, "Let''s sing! Everyone felt joy at once. When Mica denied it, everyone teased her to call back with her boyfriend. Suddenly she looked shy. Kiki went with her to catch a bus. Passersby looked at her because of the big bouquet of roses in hand, so she had to take a cab. While waiting, Mica asked her a question: -If Ivanna has a deal in ourpany, why doesn''t everyone know her? Hasn''t she evere here? Kiki nodded: -She''s a friend of Mrs. Costa''s. And the previous designs, when she was told toe see them, she didn''t even bother toe, so they passed the photos on to her. -Are you unhappy with all of them? -Yes. Mica got a little scared and looked at her: -Then by tonight''s things, I''m afraid after she knows it''s my design? -She''ll say she''s not satisfied? And then when it''s time for the contract, we can''t deliver the finished work? Kiki voiced Mica''s doubts. Mica nodded with concern. Kikiughed and patted her on the shoulder. -Don''t worry. I''m sure she can''t refuse your work. If she really has to refuse, I''ll find a way. Only then did Mica reassure. -But didn''t you indirectly offend Mrs. Costa by helping me? Another problem urred to Mica. Kiki was d she was so considerate. -Well, she definitely gives more importance to talent! -Do you understand? Don''t think about anything else, just get the design to me in time! Mica nodded cautiously. Back at the residence, Mica took a shower, then turned on the phone that the screen was cracked. She had bought it for many years and the quality was very good. Leaning on the bed, she opened Whatsapp but had not yet received a reply. She was a bit lost. "He just spoke to me on video!" "Could it be that it was actually an illusion?" "It can''t be." From tonight''s stuff, she was even more convinced by her love! At that moment Macos told her that Carlos just wanted to lie to her to have sex, but she didn''t believe him. Because of her insomnia, she decided to call Alba. It was daylight where she was. Alba quickly answered the phone and Mica briefly described what had happened, causing Alba to -Good job! Too bad I wasn''t there. And Mica, you''ve changed! -What? -You''ve be more confident and brave! I love you so much! -Is it because of the strength I gave you? When Mica was about to answer, she joked again. -Definitely because of the strength of love! -Ya... Mica''s cheeks reddened. -Haha, how did you get along with him? Mica spoke to her that she had sent him a friend request. -You finally did it! -Yes! -Courage! Maybe it would be better to give him a call. Seeing that Mica did not respond, she continued: -I know you''re not good at taking the initiative. However, it''s not umon for friends to call each other to get in touch. After Alba said much more, the two hung up the phone. "Should I call him?" She was in a tangle. She flipped through the friends'' articles, and saw the first one was from Alba: When you''re in love, pain is also a blessing. Chapter 37 : Open The Door, IM At Your Door. Chapter 37 : Open The Door, I''M At Your Door. Chapter 37 : Open the door, I''m at your door. Mica threw down her phone violently. "Am I in love?" ... Thinking about what Alba said, Mica sat up violently. "Yes! I just have to call and ask, there are so many things I want to ask him!" Mica found Carlos'' number and dialed .... Her heart raced, but the call went unanswered, there was no sound on the line! "Well, I''m not ready yet either, never mind, never mind..." Mica felt a little disappointed and relieved. She put the phone down and hid under the covers. -Beep... beep... Suddenly, the sound of the phone being answered was heard.... Mica got out of bed as if she had been electrocuted and looked at the phone in disbelief. The phone had been answered! "I just hung up the phone, but it''s not working because Ivanna hit it? What can I do, what can I do..." Mica holds the phone with a look of anxiety and confusion.... "If I hang up the phone right now, it seems weird to me." Mica was frantic as if she was holding a fire instead of a phone. ... On the other side of the ocean, it was daylight this time. A meeting was being held on the top floor of the MZ Building with all the branch general managers. Therge conference room wasvishly decorated, with arge oval table in the center and two rows of CEOs sitting at attention. In the most prominent position was Carlos, who sat with one hand on his chin and a cold stare, listening intently to the meeting report in English. The entire plush conference room was shrouded in an atmosphere of seriousness. The blond man speaking was so nervous that his legs were shaking. The chairman didn''t need to get angry, he just had to look at him with those cold eyes and he would shiver! "I''m unlucky today, the project is 0, 05 percentage points below the expected profitability..." Blondie thought he was going to die a horrible death today.... Carlos'' phone was on the clean meeting table. His phone was on silent mode and the screen lit up when a call came in. Carlos casually nced at the number on it and immediately sat up. He picked up the phone with one hand and made a silent gesture with the other. The blond immediately fell silent at the sight of it, and the room went so quiet. Carlos picked up the phone and answered it. There was silence on the other end of the line as well, and then a woman''s timid voice reached his ear. -Carlos? Carlos'' heart suddenly sank, and a smile appeared on his face. -What? The CEOs gasped, as if they had seen a UFO. "Our serious president is smiling? What''s going on?" That "how" was the softest sound they had heard from Carlos in all the years they had worked under him! Carlospletely ignored themotion in the room. He could picture Mica''s sheepish face in his mind. -Has, have you eaten yet? -With that, Mica bit her lip even harder. "What nonsense am I asking!" -I''ve eaten, and you''vee home? -Carlos'' voice was low and elegant as a cello. Mica''s heart, beating wildly, slowly calmed down and her hands gently tugged at the nkets. -Yes, what are you doing? It''s so quiet," Mica asked, but then wondered, "Am I out of line asking this?" Carlos stood up, ignoring the shocked faces in the room, and motioned to adjourn the meeting. He nced at Diego, then picked up his phone and left the room. The blond speaker was instantly and immensely grateful that the president had taken the call. Compared to the others, Diego had been able to take Carlos'' huge change with equanimity. He stood up and made a summary of the meeting.... Carlos returned to his office, closed the door and answered. -I''m in a meeting. -Wow! Mica immediately thought she must have annoyed Carlos by behaving like that, she had just seen on the video that it was daylight at that time and was about to say then hang up the phone when Carlos beat her to it and said. -It''s over. He stood in front of the window and asked quietly. -Did you miss me? -Yes! Mica came back to her senses. "What did I just answer?" She immediately hurried to exin. -No, Carlos, I, I.... Only to hear Carlos'' low voice on the phone. -Me too. Mica froze, suddenly shy, and picked up the phone and hid under the covers again.... The sweetness in her heart seemed like it was going to overflow. ... After hanging up the phone, Mica was still lost in Carlos'' voice. This strange emotion made her feel very happy. It was clear that the two had only spoken for a few minutes, but a simple "me too" made her feel like she was sitting on a cloud.... "So this is what it feels like to be in love!" Mica rolled around in bed with her nket, excited until almost 11 pm.... As she drifted off to sleep, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask Carlos why he hadn''t agreed to add her as a friend.... Mica fell asleep with a smile on her face, but as sleep deepened, her smile disappeared.... She dreamed that she was sitting in a dark corner, hugging her knees and crying so hard that her voice could no longere out.... She knew she was dreaming, but she couldn''t wake up.... "What''s wrong, why am I so sad and depressed in the dream, the kind of pain I can feel even when I''m asleep, why am I crying, what have I forgotten?" His head was nk, only sadness remained. "I don''t want to dream like this, I want to wake up..." Mica struggled, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds too much to keep her eyes Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. open. Just as she felt she was about to lose her breath, suddenly a familiar sound came to her ears, a steady buzzing.... It was the phone ringing! Mica finally opened her eyes and let out a deep breath.... Mica sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes. The phone was still ringing on the bedside table. Mica picked up the phone and her eyes widened as she saw the name on it. Carlos. Mica''s heart was suddenly filled with emotion.... "You knew I was being chased by a nightmare and that''s why you called to rescue me?" Mica''s pale face returned to normal and she immediately picked up the phone. -Hello, Carlos. -Open the door. Mica looked sharply at the time on her phone. "Three in the morning? What did you just say?" -Open the door, I''m at your door. Mica suddenly burst into tears and, without even putting on her shoes, she turned on the lights and ran out.... As soon as the door opened, she was enveloped in a warm hug.... Chapter 38 : Do You Want A Closer Look? Chapter 38 : Do You Want A Closer Look? Chapter 38 : Do you want a closer look? Carlos embraced Mica. The fragrance of the girl''s body soothed his longing to see her.... Carlos had never dreamed that one day he would do something so crazy for a woman. He mobilized the helicopter immediately and flew here as fast as he could after hanging up the phone.... Mica''s eyes filled with uncontroble tears. A few hours earlier, this man had been in the distant Fracimon Nation, and now he was standing in front of her.... Mica reached out and hugged the man tightly around the waist.... Her gesture made Carlos take a deep breath. It was the first time she had responded to his proximity. A deep male voice whispered in Mica''s ear. -Mica... -Carlos had wanted to call her softly like that for a long time. Mica felt her heart flutter. It was the most touching voice she had ever heard, calling her name. -Yes! Mica answered appreciatively, her tears flowing even harder. Carlos gently released her and saw her tear-filled, but still shining eyes, and the tear-wet face that made him miss her. He lowered his head and kissed the tears from the girl''s face, one by one. -They are tears of joy, are they not? Mica was too shy to look at him, but her small hands clung to the man''s shirt. Carlos saw the barefoot girl and picked her up. Mica unconsciously threw her arms around his neck.... Closing the door with his foot, Carlos carried her into the bedroom and ced her on the bed. Mica''s heart pounded violently, not daring to look at Carlos. "What are you going to do, is this going too fast? I''m not ready for this..." Carlos looked at the girl''s shy face and smiled. He turned off the light and the room was immediately dark. Mica heard the sound of his body as he took off his jacket and then felt the ce sink next to her. A hand came up with the quilt and covered her as he took her in his arms.... -Go to sleep, good night. Mica was a little overwhelmed as she clutched her chest. -Mica, even if you want to do something with me, it will have to be some other time, it''s been many days since I slept well..... Mica was d at that moment that Carlos had turned off the lights. She buried her face in the man''s arms as hard as she could.... "What a shame, what the hell was she thinking now? He shifted gently, trying to find a morefortable position..." - "If you keep moving, you won''t be able to sleep well. Carlos'' husky voice sounded above her head. Mica stopped, not daring to move again. Soon the man''s even breathing sounded. Mica smelled his pleasant scent and a lot of thoughts ran through her head. "Did he go straight to Fracimon Nation after leaving mest time? He sat on the couch all night that day, didn''t he? He took a flight back immediately, didn''t he? He was really exhausted..." While thinking about it, Mica also fell asleep. Before she fell asleep, she remembered one more thing: I bought her a nket to protect her from the cold when he slept on the couch. Mica woke up at dawn with an arm around his waist.... She looked up slightly and saw Carlos'' sleeping face, and her heart pounded again. The man was lying on his side facing her, with his beautiful eyes closed and his soft hair hiding part of his forehead, like the most handsome king in the world. Gently pulling away from the man''s arm, Mica rose quietly from the bed. ... Carlos'' hand unconsciously went to his side, but there was nothing there. It had been a long time since he had slept so well and now he felt refreshed. He sat up and looked around, for the moment he was alone in the small bedroom. The room was filled with the fragrance of Mica''s body, which made him feel especiallyfortable. Looking down at the ck shirt he wore, there was a water stain on the chest, from Mica''s tears the night before.... There was a set of clothes folded neatly at the foot of the bed, the same ones Carlos had left here after hisst wash. Carlos smiled... "The little girl had thought of everything." Mica prepared a soup and some simple side dishes in the kitchen, then brought them to the table and looked at the closed bedroom door. "Isn''t he awake yet?" Mica untied her apron, hung it up in the kitchen and headed for the bathroom. "I seem to have left my phone in the bathroom." She reached out and pushed the bathroom door, a st of moisture hit her and then, she was A tall figure was standing there.... The man had just finished his shower and was drying his hair with a towel. The naughty water dripped down his hair, over his shoulders, and then began to slowly slide down his toned pecs, down his abs, and finally ... Mica hurried to cover her eyes and turned away, her heart pounding violently.... -I... I didn''t see anything.... God, it hadn''t urred to her that Carlos might be in the bathroom! This bathroom had two doors, one of which led to the bedroom! When he rented the house it seemed like a great design so he could go to the bathroom without having to go through the living room in the future.... Carlos also froze slightly, but quickly came to his senses and calmly wrapped the bath towel around his waist and headed for it. Smelling the familiar scent of shower gel, Mica''s heart pounded.... -Don''t you feel sorry for her? -What? -Didn''t you see anything? Mica blushed shyly. Carlos continued to whisper deliberately in her ear: -Do you want to take a closer look? Mica frowned as the man''s warm breath brushed her cheek, making her feel a little ticklish.... -I don''t want to! -The girl said and went back to the kitchen. Carlos watched her back as she walked away and smiled. "What to do, teasing her would be addictive?" Mica washed her face with cold water in the kitchen before letting her face temperature drop. Taking a deep breath, she walked out of the kitchen to see Carlos just as he was leaving the room. The expensive clothes only apanied him, making him even more handsome.... Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Carlos looked at Mica, who immediately looked away and slipped over to the table to sit down and eat her soup in silence. Carlos sat down across from her. The soup was already prepared in front of him. -Do you know how to cook? -Carlos asked, seeing that the soup was thick and the little dishes all looked delicious. -Well, only the simple ones can I.... Mica just looked at him and looked away. "What should I do? When I see him I think of his magnificent chest..." Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Mica went to answer it like meeting a savior. Chapter 39 : The Card Has No Password, Use It As You Wish. Chapter 39 : The Card Has No Password, Use It As You Wish. Chapter 39 : The card has no password, use it as you wish. -How did you know I went to the meetingst night? -Ernesto saw you," Carlos answered briefly. Ernesto was probably very grateful to Carlos because he had bagged that project in the East Zone, so he called to tell him as soon as he saw that Mica and thepany were meeting at the same time at the hotel. While she was on the phone, she saw Adriana in the same room, so she also told Carlos. Carlos thought Adriana was not a good person, so he immediately made arrangements for the rest. When the soup was finished, Carlos nudged the te. Mica noticed immediately. -Do you want more? -Yes. Mica immediately added another te for him. Carlosughed at her gesture. -Ernesto? Is he the man who called you inst night''s video? Well, then why... Mica wanted to ask Carlos why he wouldn''t ept her Whatsapp request, but she couldn''t. -Thank you forst night.... The girl wanted to say thank you for the man''s expense, but she felt it wouldn''t be good for her to be so calcting when this man was so generous.... But it was strange for her that he epted the help so openly.... Carlos lifted her chin and looked at her with deep eyes. -Silly, you don''t need to thank me. Mica looked at him and suddenly forgot what she had to say.... Carlos withdrew his hand with satisfaction. Mica blushed and lowered her gaze as she continued eating. Although she had a shy expression on her face and moved a little hastily, she still showed a lot of ss. She really didn''t look like a poor girl living in someone else''s house at all..... Thinking about it, Carlos'' eyes took on a more probing look. -What do you have nned forter? Mica froze, not expecting him to ask her that question, and answered without enthusiasm: -I have an appointment with Ana, my colleague, we are going shopping this morning. Carlos nodded and finished his bowl of soup, along with arge portion of the other dishes. It wasn''t the most delicious breakfast, but it was the happiest he had ever had. Carlos saw that the girl had also finished eating and moved naturally to pick up the silverware. Surprised by this, Mica stopped. -Carlos, I''ll do this on my own, you go rest! She hadn''t really expected this man to act that way. -You cook, I''ll clean, is there a problem? "That''s how some couples get along, right? And a rich guy like him actually does the dishes?" -No problem, but I''ll do the dishes! "She''s worried I''ll break all the dishes, isn''t she?" Carlosughed and turned back to the couch. -Where are you two meeting? I''ll walk you there. -No, go to work, it''s still early and we haven''t even made our appointment yet! Hearing this, Carlos didn''t insist any more. He had been away for a few days on business and there must have been a lot of things waiting for him at thepany at that time, otherwise Diego wouldn''t have approached him so early. -Mica. -Yes? Mica, who was cleaning the dishes, heard Carlos calling her and answered unconsciously. She looked at the man who had called her by her first name. -Come here. Mica wasn''t sure, but she put down what was in her hand and walked toward him. Carlos took her hand and ced a card in Mica''s hand. Mica unconsciously tried to reject it, but was gently pulled by Carlos and fell into his arms. -Take it and don''t reject me! Buy more of what you like when you go shopping, this card doesn''t have a pin number, you can use it as you wish. With that, he nted a kiss on Mica''s forehead. -Call me if anythinges up, I''ll be by your side, huh? This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Mica blushed and nodded softly. Carlos smiled in satisfaction, then picked up his jacket and left. Mica watched Carlos close the door before realizing that in his hand was the ck card she had seen at the jewelry storest time. "Why are you giving me something so expensive, and letting me use it as I please? I can''t, I have to give it back to you at some point..." Carlos went down in the elevator and Diego was already waiting by the car. Seeing Carlos appear, Diego opened the door to the back seat. Carlos got into the car. Diego closed the door, opened the driver''s side and sat down, started the car and drove out of the neighborhood. -Diego said, "Sir, the information about the Elvira Family is on your right. The Elvira family seems to have been quite luckytely, with Marcos Franco''s part financed by his father, and things are stable at the moment. -Well, rx," Carlos had his own ideas. He picked up the file he had at hand and began to read it. The rtionship between Familia Elvira and Mica''s parents was very simple, except that Mica''s parents hade from Zyalen Province to join the Elvira''s and then founded the Noboa Group, but then her parents had a car ident. -What is the story of Mica''s parents? -Carlos asked quietly. -At the moment, there is still no news," Diego was a little nervous when he said this. The only thing we can be sure of now is that the predecessor of the current Elvira Group was, indeed, the Noboa Group more than ten years ago, but after that traffic ident, the group passed into the hands of Marta Garcia because there was no suitable legal heir. Mica was a child then, and with her memory impaired after the car ident, two years had passed since she returned from the orphanage... -Sir, are you going to tell this to Miss Mica? -No, she''ll find out for herself. "I''ll let Mica discover the truth little by little. My girl can''t be harassed like this but not know anything about it!" Chapter 40 : Your Clothes Are Not Worth 590,000 Euros! Chapter 40 : Your Clothes Are Not Worth 590,000 Euros! Chapter 40 : Your clothes are not worth 590,000 euros! Mica tidied up the house and took Carlos'' expensive change of clothes to the dry cleaners before hurrying to the ce where she had arranged to meet Ana. They met at Dream de Dragon. It is a sprawling building of over ten floors, thergest shopping mall in Tdia! It''s upscale and tastefully decorated, with areas for clothing and footwear, handbags and jewelry, beauty and skin care, electronics and digital products, and even a food court. In short, it''s a shopper''s paradise for girls. Mica looked around a couple of times, but didn''t see Ana, so she pulled out her cell phone and called her. The phone had broken and was not working, so Mica was unable to dial the number after several attempts. Next to the flower shop was a coffee shop and there was arge crowd at the entrance. Mica did not see Ana and was about to leave when she heard Ana''s familiar voice. -It was you who suddenly stood up and bumped into me! Mica hurried to turn around. Indeed, wasn''t it Ana who was surrounded by people and wearing a Mica approached and saw that in front of Ana was a well-dressed woman with a beautiful figure. "The dress she was wearing was so familiar..." Mica looked at this woman''s dress and frowned slightly. There was arge light brown stain on the thigh of the white dress, which should have been simply wiped off with a tissue. -Ana, what''s wrong? Mica came to her senses and approached Ana, inquiring. Seeing Mica, Ana sensed that one of her own had finally arrived and hurried to exin once again. -Mica, you''re just in time, I went in to pack my milk tea, and as I was about to leave, this pretty girl suddenly got up and knocked over my milk tea without apology, but actually med me? -Hey, what are you talking about, what do you mean you''re to me! Do you know how much Katarina''s outfit cost? The girl in the stained dress said nothing, but the other short-haired woman next to her screamed. It was then that Mica noticed that the marble floor beneath her feet showed signs of having been recently cleaned. The cafeteria manager rushed over, a man in his forties, wearing a ck suit, anxious to know what had happened. People looking around joined in the exnation. -This pretty girl who was buying milk tea was walking here when another pretty girl suddenly turned around and knocked it over! -The milk tea even spilled some on that pretty girl''s skirt! -The girl who bought the milk tea apologized at first, but that beauty wouldn''t let her go? -Yeah, and the woman with the short hair just cursed extra loud! -Hey! The short-haired woman stormed forward angrily, her eyes wide. -Fuck! How much does a cup of milk tea cost her, and Katarina''s dress costs enough for centuries of milk tea! Who has the most to lose, you say? The person being contradicted backs down. Anna, hearing how righteous she was, couldn''t help but be a little frightened too and lowered her voice. -Even if it was my fault, I''ve already apologized! Ana said, and looked at Mica with aggression in her eyes. -Is an apology enough? If apologies would work, why do you need the police? -You... -Anna was too angry to say anything. -How about this, let''s leave a contact and follow up on how much this clothes cleaning cost, we''ll pay you back. Mica took Ana''s handfortingly and looked at the girl who hadn''t spoken and said. -Well, that makes sense. -Yes, it''s just a little thing, why bother so much! -Let''s each take a step back! ... The other guests also felt that Mica had a good way of expressing herself. Mica looked at the girl named Katarina. That Katarina, however, rolled her eyes and took to staring at Mica''s dress before finally saying. -I want to see the owner of this store! The manager, frightened and fearing a reprimand from the owner, hurried to get between the two girls and said. -They are both customers of the store..... -We are the golden VIPs of your store, just like them," the short-haired woman interrupted him. The manager paused and then said. -Yes, yes, yes, of course you are our distinguished gold VIP, but thatdy has a point, just pay her the -Why do we need herundry fee! This dress is a premium fabric, extremely stainable, but now it''s like this, there''s no way to wash it anymore! The short-haired woman said. The crowd immediately became agitated. -It''s just a dress and it looks ordinary, how expensive can it be? -Are these two girls deliberately trying to swindle? -Why would such a pretty girl do that?! ... Katarina said mockingly: Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. -This is a limited edition of GIBIERRE! It was designed and cut by the famous Gallic designer James himself. It''s the only one in the world. But now you''ve ruined it, don''t you have to pay me? The crowd was amazed. GIBIERRE is known to be a great brand, not to mention a powerful designer. Each of James'' designs is a limited edition, made by his own hands in very small quantities, so it is used by high societydies as a symbol of status and position. Having a dress designed by James was something to brag about, and even more so if he had made it himself! -Heck, each of James'' designs is for sale in limited quantities, it''s not something you can buy with money! -No wonder they''re so angry! -This dress is beautiful! But it''s a shame to have it ruined like this. ... Thements from the audience made Ana feel nervous, so she unconsciously grabbed Mica''s hand. Mica took Ana''s hand, slightly trembling, and looked at Katarina. -How much is the genuine article of this dress? Without hesitation, the short-haired woman said. -Five hundred and ny thousand! Katarina reacted immediately and said angrily. -What do you mean, this is the genuine article! Have you ever seen a GIBIERRE dress? She reassessed Mica and continued. -Don''t think that just because you''re wearing a new Chanel dress you''re something important. It''s priceless, you know? asked Mica, without rushing. -Since it''s such an expensive brand and such an expensive dress, the pearls you''re wearing must be of the best quality, right? The short-haired girl looked at the pearls scattered around the neckline and hem of her friend''s dress and spoke smugly. -Hm, of course, each of these beaded pearls is purely natural, and worth at least twenty thousand. Mica, havinge to her own conclusion in her mind, said indifferently. -I''m sorry then, but your clothes are not worth 590, 000 euros! Chapter 41 : DonT Know Big Clothes, Know Pearls! Chapter 41 : Don''T Know Big Clothes, Know Pearls! Chapter 41 : Don''t know big clothes, know pearls! There were noises of surprise all around. -Wow, isn''t this dress from GIBIERRE? -Is it a fake? -I''m going to go, take a fake and ask people to pay for it, that''s so unkind! ... At that moment, the boss, who had been watching from the surveince room for a long time, still appeared. He went straight to Katarina''s address and called out to her respectfully. -Miss Carballo! Then she straightened up and looked at the crowd, looking at the director in particr, useless thing! And then she respectfully introduced herself to the group with. -This is the firstdy of the Carballo Group, Katarina Carballo! How can the dress she''s wearing be fake! The crowd erupted in a chorus of shouts. -Oh, so it''s Miss Carballo! -The Carballo Group is from a wealthy family in Tdia, she owns the famous Ss Caribe restaurant! -Yes, her family is very rich, any dress must be very expensive! Katarina took a long look at her boss, who was not leaving early. The owner smiled tteringly as she rubbed her bare head. -I couldn''t offend this Miss Carballo, but I suppose I couldn''t offend the Chanel girl either. The boss, who has spent a lot of time in high-end ces, knows a lot about brand-name clothes and is a good people-watcher. When he looked at Mica in Chanel, he thought she was not inferior to Katarina at all. He was worried that Mica was also a young woman from some wealthy family. If he hadn''t seen that the manager really didn''t have the means to cope with this, he himself would never have appeared in such a difficult situation. The short-haired woman looked at Mica smugly. -Who are you, do you really know these brands, how dare you question Katarina''s clothes? This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Mica spoke truthfully. -I really don''t know anything about these big brand clothes! There was a snort. -After all this talk, this girl is talking nonsense, huh? -I thought this beauty really knew what she was doing! -It''s not coffee I''vee to drink today, it''s wine, I''m going to get drunk! ... Ana tugged on Mica''s hand. "Oh, friend, what nonsense you''re talking if you don''t understand..." Mica gave her a reassuring look and looked at Katarina. -"I don''t know anything about fancy clothes, but I know about pearls! The pearls on your dress are all artificially grown and worthless. The whole room was silent. For a long time, before someone murmured. -That dress is pretty, but those pearls are really.... -Yes, yes, pearls don''t seem to shine very much! -It''s not possible to use such cheap pearls for such an expensive dress! ... When Anne heard Mica say this, she hurried to take a close look at the pearls on Katarina''s body. It was true, as everyone had said, that the pearls were not very well colored and you could probably tell their value without having to feel them in your hand. Ana felt ashamed of herself. "Why is Mica so good on her own when she and I both work in jewelry design and appraisal? I can''t believe I didn''t notice these details." Katarina felt a little humiliated, and naturally she had already seen that the pearls weren''t very pretty.... But the dress was given to her by her fianc¨¦ when he proposed, so she didn''t pay particr attention to the authenticity of the dress, not realizing that.... -Don''t be ridiculous, just because you say the beads are artificially grown they really are? Who are you, is what you say so authoritative? -Do you need me to teach you on the spot the difference between natural and cultured beads? -asked Mica. -Hey, this friend and I are professional jewelry designers and we do know something about pearls, and all these beads you are wearing don''t add up to more than 20, 000! -said Ana finally with a look of circumstance. The short-haired woman looked at Katarina and, seeing that she had no reply, understood that what Meca said was true, but still fired: -Even if the beads are not of the best quality, it is that the designer herself has not used the best pearls! With Katarina''s status she could not have bought a fake. The audience nodded. -Yes, even if the pearls weren''t the best, it didn''t detract from the dress as a whole, it still looked great!. -Well, maybe it was an oversight by the designer in choosing the material. ... The short-haired woman became even more smug, stating another fact. -This dress is a great thing, James had aing out party when he designed it, he said it was for someone who was meant to be in this dress, so the dress is triple specific and only one person in the world can wear it in the best way! -Oh yes, it was James'' studio''s 26th anniversaryunch event. -I heard that this dress is the only one of its kind in the world and that someone was willing to pay over a million euros for it at the time. -James said, "Give this dress to your girlfriend, and if she can wear it, you can marry her." It was quite an event at the time. -I''ve never heard of it being sold to anyone since. -Yes, I never thought Miss Carballo''s fiance would buy it! -It''s true that it was off the market, so it''s a bargain that they paid 590, 000 euros. -That''s right, Katarina''s fiance begged James to sell it to him for 590. 000 euros, and Katarina said yes to his proposal because it fit her so well! The short-haired girl said this while throwing a stern look at Mica. -Wow, how romantic. -Miss Carballo has found true love! -What envy! ... Katarina also felt very proud and excited at the thought of what her fiance had done. The owner, seeing the situation, already thinks that Katarina is telling the truth. He was worried that this would affect the business of the coffee shop at noon, so he pped his hands to get everyone''s attention, looked at Ana and said. -Look, miss, the situation is quite clear, you must pay Miss Carballopensation. Katarina looked at Ana and spoke. -You don''t look rich either, so forget the 590, 000 euros, you will only pay me 300, 000. Ana''s mood was a roller coaster, she didn''t know what to do, so she shook Mica''s hand. Mica patted Ana''s hand, looked at Katarina and asked. -Is it true that there is only one in the world? -Exactly! If it''s a forgery, you can see it at a nce. Katarina said this with great confidence. She had read about the dress, and apart from the pearls, which detracted from the dress, it was wless! -What if I can prove that it''s not authentic? -Mica asked, but inwardly it wasplicated, especially after hearing what they said about the symbolism of the dress. Katarina frowned. "How can it be, this is absolutely genuine!" -If it''s not genuine, there''s no need for your friend to pay for it! The crowd erupted. -Wow, Miss Carballo is so generous! -Then this must be the real thing, otherwise you wouldn''t say things like that! -Miss Carballo''s fianc¨¦ must be a big shot too, there''s no way he''d buy a fake to propose! -Take it for what it''s worth, 300. 000 is already a bargain! The short-haired woman, listening to the chatter around her, was so pleased with herself that she snorted. -Who gave you the confidence to say that this dress is not authentic? Mica''s coy words sent shock waves through the air. -Because I have the genuine article. Chapter 42 : ItS Definitely James Work! Chapter 42 : It''S Definitely James'' Work! Chapter 42 : It''s definitely James'' work! The crowd gasped in surprise, and halfway through, the short-haired woman opened first, her tone mocking. -Are you there? Where? -Don''t be ridiculous. And the crowd murmured again. -Really? Didn''t they say there was only one piece in the world? -Yes, how is it possible that I have another one? -It can''t be, this Miss Carballo is already perfect, look how well it suits her. -Yes, it''s practically made to measure! ... Miss Carballo was someone he could not afford to offend, and he was sure that her dress was authentic. -I can''t go on like this, how can I do business with more and more people watching? -How can I do business? -Miss, since you say you have the genuine article, please show it, or let your friend pay for Miss Carballo''s loss. -Mica... -Ana touched Mica with concern in her eyes. -It''s all right," Mica reassured Ana and looked at Katarina. The clothes are at my house, I''m going to get them now, give me 20 minutes. -Are you going to run away? -Don''t ever let her go! -Pay at once, Miss Carballo must be genuine! The crowd murmured again. -Well, I''ll give you 20 minutes, but your friend must stay here! -said Katarina in a loud voice. Mica nodded, looked at Ana and left the cafeteria. Katarina sat back down, as did the short-haired woman. The owner rushed to evacuate everyone, but none of them left, and everyone found a seat in the coffee and even ordered drinks. How can you leave like that when you''re watching the show to see the grand finale, of course? The owner immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Hahaha, I never thought this feud would help me make money!" Ana was also very conscious and found a seat as far as Katarina could see. The short-haired woman looked at Ana nkly and said to Katarina. -That woman is so out of it! Katarina looked at the dress, she really liked it and didn''t think her fiance was lying to her. -Katarina, make a call to your fiance, who knows what that woman is going to do next! Katarina was a little hesitant. -Hurry up, we have to go see the wedding dresster anyway, don''t we? Katarina also thought her best friend was right and called her boyfriend. Thus, Mica took a cab down, told the car to stand still and got out herself. Opening the door to her room, Mica went straight to it and opened the dress she had ced in the corner of the closet. She reached out and took it off. It was the dress Carlos had given her at the hotel when Mica first met him. She had no idea it was so big. She was sure Carlos had given her the real one. These pearls were proof of that. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "But why did he give me such an expensive dress when we first met?" Thinking that Ana was waiting for her, Mica thought no more. Mica put on the dress and tried to leave, but suddenly thought that if she came back she would have to prove that the dress was hers again, so she quickly put it on and took out the dress she was wearing from home in a bag. As she left the room, Mica''s foot slipped and she grabbed the wall to keep from falling. "Why was there a trickle of water on the floor?" Mica frowned.... "Ana is still waiting for me..." Mica closed the door and hurried down the stairs. At the coffee shop, Katarina''s fianc¨¦ had arrived. The owner hurried to greet him warmly. If it isn''t the oldest gentleman in the Franco Group, Antonio Franco. -Mr. Antonio, wee! Antonio nodded and turned directly to Katarina with eyes full of pampering. -Katarina, you should have informed me before that you wereing to buy. -Yes, your husband is in charge of carrying things! The short-haired woman looked at Katarina and smiled. The people sitting around her looked openly. -Mr. Antonio is so handsome, he looks so good with Miss Carballo! -I heard that Mr. Marcos is getting engaged too, to that model Adriana! -This is great news for Tdia! ... Katarina, with a shy face, was about to speak when she was interrupted by the shouts of the crowd. -My God, that beautiful girl is back! All the customers in the store stood up and looked at Mica outside the cafe. With a bag in her hand, Mica made her way through, still thinking about that dripping water at home. She looked up and was surprised at the scene before her.... There were many people standing in the caf¨¦, staring at Mica without batting an eye.... The dress she is wearing is really very beautiful. Each pearl glittered seductively and highlighted her face; the cut of that dress framed her figure to perfection The cut of that dress is perfect for her figure, and theparison to the one Miss Carballo is wearing is totally different! This is definitely James'' work. -Oh my goodness, I''m so happy to have seen James'' masterpiece in my life! -What a great value for coffee today! -This dress is really beautiful, ah, I''m so excited! -This is absolutely authentic! -It''s blinding me! It''s so pretty. -James is a design genius! This dress is amazing. Several people couldn''t resist whipping out their phones and snapping photos.... Katarina''s face was somber as she looked at her fianc¨¦. Antonio was also very surprised. "What''s wrong?" -Katarina, listen to me exin? Katarina pulled her hand away from Antonio''s. Antonio couldn''t help but frown and look at Mica. "How did she get this dress?..... Wait, this woman, why does she look familiar!" Mica approached Katarina in front of her. Ana pounced on her, saying excitedly. -Ah, this is absolutely authentic! Anyone with eyes can see it. The audience echoed. Katarina clenched her fists. Indeed, anyone with eyes could see it. The one she was wearing was certainly worth a lot of money, but the one Mica was wearing was the real thing. Seeing was believing, so Katarina was convinced and even grateful to Mica in her heart. Otherwise, she would never have known that Antonio had cheated on her with a fake! Mica looked at Katarina and asked: -Is your promise still valid? The short-haired woman was also furious and pulled at Katarina, trying to tell her not to let the woman go. However, Katarina replied with great dignity. -Of course, yours is worthy of James'' reputation. -Mine is probably, as someone just said, bespoke. -Well, you may go, you need not pay me for it. Mica nodded, appreciating that Katarina kept her word, and pulled Ana with her and prepared to leave. However, Antonio shouted. -Stop! Chapter 43 : Welcome To Master James! Chapter 43 : Wee To Master James! Chapter 43 : Wee to Master James! Mica and Ana unconsciously stop and look at Antonio. Antonio took Katarina''s arm and exined, a bit anxiously. -His clothes are definitely not authentic! I went to see Master James myself, how could I have made a mistake? Antonio scanned the area and let his eyes fall on Mica. -Besides, she is the adopted niece of Familia Elvira, a humble person, so how could she possibly have an authentic one from GIBIERRE! -Antonio spoke with conviction. Because he had seen a picture of this woman in his brother Marcos'' room. "This woman is clearly Marcos'' girlfriend of three years! They broke up not long ago! Anyway, there''s no way she has this limited edition GIBIERRE dress!" Mica frowned. As soon as she entered the store and saw Antonio''s face, she had vaguely guessed that he was Marcos'' brother, she had expected to find him here, let alone, that he knew she was the adopted daughter of Familia Elvira, had Marcos told her? -An intelligent man can tell which one is genuine at a nce, what does identity have to do with it? Sir," said Ana with irritation. -Yes, thisdy may be of less noble status than Miss Carballo, but she could be the bride of someone great! -Yes, the dress must surely be authentic! -Yes... The crowd clearly did not believe Antonio''s words. Ana was overjoyed in her heart of hearts that she was about to say that Mica''s fianc¨¦ was indeed a big shot. Last night she had seen with her own eyes what Mica''s boyfriend had done, that he had won the hearts of all the colleagues in thepany.... Mica, as if she saw what Ana was going to say, stopped her immediately. Mica stood in front of Ana and looked at Antonio with condescending eyes: -The dress is on me, naturally it has nothing to do with my status. Miss Carballo just made it very clear that if I prove that hers is not authentic, we don''t have to pay for it, and she just admitted it. Please, can we go now? Her words made everyone calm down. She exuded a sense of oppression that everyone could not resist, an aura that made her seem extraordinarily regal and invible. Antonio clearly felt a headache. -Oh, beautiful, this is no longer a matter ofpensation. I wore this dress to propose to my fianc¨¦e, but you tell me that the dress is an imitation, isn''t that also indirectly saying that my feelings for Katarina are not sincere enough? The crowd noticed it too. -Yes, oh, it would be a great sin if she had to withdraw from marriage! -What a pity when the man is talented and the woman is beautiful. -It seems so cruel. Antonio continued: -Have any of you seen the worldwide limited edition GIBIERRE in person? Everyone looked at each other, and sure enough, no one had seen it. -The biggest difference between these two dresses is the pearls, but when the fashion magazine described the dress, it didn''t explicitly say that all the beads were freshwater pearls. -That''s right, it''s too one-sided to say that Miss Carballo''s is fake just because of the pearls. -Yes, if it wasn''t this girl''s dress topare, then this one of Miss Carballo''s would be perfect without a doubt. -Maybe it''s true that the genuine article doesn''t use such good pearls and this pretty girl''s is the knockoff version! "A knockoff version is even better than the original? Isn''t this a p in the face for James'' designer, don''t they have brains to put out?" Mica growled inwardly, but said nothing, she wanted to see what he wanted. Thanks to Antonio''s few words, the plot turned around. Katarina was impressed by Antonio, and the short-haired woman had an admiring expression on her face. -Miss Mica, I don''t want anything else, I just want to prove that my fianc¨¦e''s clothes are absolutely authentic, just like my love for her! Antonio finished, looked at Katarina with affection and continued: -Thepensation is also waived, you, and your friend, you just have to apologize to my fianc¨¦e and this will go away, I will take care of all the damages! -Wow! So romantic... -It doesn''t matter if the clothes are authentic or not, Miss Carballo, your fianc¨¦ really loves you! -Yes, I''m so happy! Even Ana was touched by this show of affection.... "It''s not hard to apologize for something..." -Miss Mica! A male voice suddenly came from the entrance. It sounded familiar to Mica, and when she looked back, it was indeed Mr. Ocampo! Mica looked at Diego in surprise, then couldn''t help but look behind him, but Diego was the only one.... Diego came striding over. -What a coincidence to find you here. My boss asked me toe to inspect the operation of the mall. Mica was surprised, "Do you also have a store in this mall?" Diego looked Mica up and down. -Miss Mica, you look very nice in that dress? Master James really lives up to his name! The crowd expressed surprise, "Is this someone else saying that yours was the genuine article?" The fast talkers asked bluntly. -Sir, do you mean to say that this beautiful girl''s dress is the genuine article? Said Diego with an air of rectitude: -Mr. James gave it to my boss himself and instructed him to give it to the girl of his choice, and if she could wear it, he would marry her! -And then what? Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. -Oh, my Boss didn''t believe in that and refused. But James insisted on giving it to my Boss, and my Boss was kind enough to ept it. I hadn''t met Miss Mica at the time, and to my surprise, she wore it and it looked so good on her, James actually lived up to his reputation as a ghost! "A gift?" The audience was also surprised. James'' pitch also said it was just a gift, not a sale. -This guy says it like it''s totally true! -Yeah, I believe what this guy says too! -Well, well, this dress looks more expensive than Se?orita Carballo''s, how could Master James wear cheap pearls?! Antonio couldn''t keep his expression. -Who is your boss? What proof do you have that what you say is true? Diego looked at Antonio: -Mr. Antonio, pleased to meet you. I am not at liberty to reveal who my boss is, but I think the most direct proof would be for Mr. James himself to confirm which dress he designed and cut. The room erupted. -How is that possible, Master James is far away in France? -Yes, that''s unreal! -But seeing Master James in person would be the best thing ever! Mica and Ana were also surprised. However, Antonio snorted coldly, "who does this man think he is?" "I have personally gone to France and waited for him for three days before meeting James for a few minutes. There is no way this man could have hired James, he must be bluffing!" -Yes, that would be a good idea! Antonio echoed Diego''s words as he thought to himself. "Hell, let''s see you get off the stage!" Diego smiled and looked at the scene: -Master James is alsoing to Tdia secretly this time, so let''s not give him any influence and no pictures, okay? -No problem! They all spoke in unison, very excited. Diego cast a reassuring nce at Mica and turned to p his hands in fear. -Well,e on, wee Master James! The ss doors were pushed open and an elderly man in his 60s entered, apanied by his assistant. With slightly white hair, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the smart suit, it was none other than Master James, who had been seen in every major news story! Chapter 44 : Is There Really Such A Thing As Destiny? Chapter 44 : Is There Really Such A Thing As Destiny? Chapter 44 : Is there really such a thing as destiny? The audience almost held its breath at the sight of Mr. James. Antony''s heart sank to the bottom.... "It all ends, it''s really Master James!" Diego greeted him and conversed with Mr. James in fluent French. James frowned, looked at Mica and immediately his eyes lit up. He approached Mica in long strides and circled her twice, looking her up and down, smiling, very happy and speaking in French. No one could understand him. James'' assistant waited for him to finish and, in standard Mandarin, tranted. -This beautifuldy, she is the most perfect and nobledy I have ever seen! You make this dress look perfect! This dress is the greatest expression of its value on your body, and I thank you for showing me that it has such a fine mistress. The room was shocked, but no one said a word, everyone was silent and paid the greatest respect to the great designer. Diego spoke again in French to James. James turned to Katarina and Antonio.... Antonio had never regretted his actions so much. James'' eyes were obviously very cold and he only looked at Katarina for a second before looking away, but he looked at Antonio for a long time, making Antonio''s heart flutter. James was about to say something when Mica suddenly approached.... She actually knew French! And very fluently. Her voice said words that no one could understand, but it sounded like she was singing. James listened to Mica with loving eyes and nodded appreciatively before speaking slowly. The assistant, after hearing what James said, immediately tranted it and addressed it to Antonio, saying. -Signor Antonio, you have been waiting in France for three days, I have felt your sincerity, but I have already sent you this dress when it arrived. It is true that it is not my masterpiece. But I was touched by your love for your betrothed, the dress is very well made and you have taken care of it, bless you. Antonio''s lie was exposed on the spot, but it was told so politely and beautifully..... Antony blushed slightly and the stone fell from his heart.... Fortunately, such a statement is considered to have given him face. Antonio thanked her evenly. -You shouldn''t thank me, you should thank this beautifuldy! The attendant finished with a polite instruction to Mica. James took the initiative and said a few words to Mica, who listened and blushed. When he finished, James indicated that he wanted to leave. Diego nodded to Mica and apanied James with his assistant. The entire cafeteria, still silent, was in shock! Mica dragged Ana out of the coffee as well. After walking a few meters away, Katarina''s voice came from behind. -Mica, wait. Mica and Ana turned around and saw Katarina leaving as well, followed by her short-haired friend, and Antonio. Katarina looked at Mica and couldn''t help the appreciation and gratitude in her eyes. -Thank you. She was afraid she would have lost face if it hadn''t been for what she had just said. She had studied French too, but not very well, but she had heard the general idea. Master James had just said they were going to sue Antonio for copyright infringement if it weren''t for Mica''s intercession! Mica merely smiled. -Your boyfriend did this because he really loves you. Katarina turned to her boyfriend with a nk stare, but there was still love in her eyes. -I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have taken you for who you are. Antonio was direct and clear in his apology. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mica was puzzled. -It doesn''t matter, that''s the truth. Mica took Ana by the hand. -Let''s go. Ana still felt a little dissatisfied. This day was really indescribable.... -We''ll meet again! -Katarina said, with a twinkle in her eye that Mica couldn''t read. Mica just smiled at her and pushed Ana away. Antonio looked at Mica''s back. "This woman, no wonder Marcos won''t forget her. But it''s a pity that Marcos does not know how to appreciate, in the end, it is also he is not worthy of her..." People in the cafeteria left a long time ago when they left.... The boss felt sad there! "Ahhhhhh, what a pity really! Master James came to the store, but he couldn''t take photos or promote it, otherwise the store''s business would have doubled a few times!" ... After leaving the caf¨¦, Mica and Ana went upstairs to the clothing area on the second floor. -Mica, how do you think it''s a coincidence that Master James is in Tdia, and right over here? Ana was still too engrossed in the events that had just transpired. Mica thought so too. -I can only say it''s a coincidence, who could foresee that we would meet this Miss Carballo today? - Mica voiced her thoughts. It was one thing for Master James toe to Tdia, quite another for him toe in person to determine the authenticity of the garments. The reason he was willing to show up was clear to Mica. Thinking about what he had just told her, Mica couldn''t help but blush again. "Is there really such a thing as fate? It seemed so mysterious, didn''t it?" -That''s true, if you hadn''t agreed to go shopping with me, then I would definitely be home for the day and nothing would have happened. -Speaking of that, if I hadn''t beente, you wouldn''t have gone to that coffee shop to buy tea with milk and gotten into this trouble, sorry Ana. said Mica seriously. -Mica, what nonsense, it''s me who has to thank you, I''m so lucky to know you! And for today''s meeting too, to see Master James in person, that''s great! Mica smiled, she too appreciated Ana''s proactivity, otherwise, with her slow personality, she didn''t know when she would have made a new friend. Mica found a random women''s clothing store and changed out of the dress she was wearing and put it in a bag. -You look so good in it, why do you need to change out of it? Mica looked at the dress she had changed out of. -It''s too shy. -You''re the only one who can wear it, you know? If that Se?orita Carballo''s fianc¨¦ had just bought this dress, he''d probably have to fail in his proposal, he wouldn''t be able to hold the dress at all, and with that trilby, it''s exclusive to you! Mica was also surprised that Master James, who had never met, could design a dress that fit her so perfectly. -Mica, did your fianc¨¦ give you this dress to propose to you? Ana''s eyes sparkled with gossip. -It''s not... "My boyfriend," were the words Mica swallowed. "Let''s go with the flow." Mica decided in her mind, feeling an impulse of relief, and changed her tone: -Proposal and all that is a long way off, see if this dress is your style? Ana nced at the store Mica was talking about and immediately diverted her attention and darted inside, dragging Mica! ... After Diego sent Master James back, he returned to the Grupo Aguayo building. -Boss, it''s all done. Chapter 45 : Have You Met My Parents? Chapter 45 : Have You Met My Parents? Chapter 45 : Have you met my parents? Carlos was looking at his papers when he looked up and looked at Diego. -What is James doing in Tdia at this hour? Diego weighed his words, and said: -You said earlier that we were not to say anything about that man to you . Carlos frowned. -Say it. -Well, sir. It was Miss Athens who paid Master James toe to Tdia, and she wanted him to design a unique dress for her. She had asked James toe, which was a help to Carlos. Carlos didn''t spend another second on the matter. -Where is she now? -Miss Mica and her friend are still at the mall. Diego thought almost immediately about who the gentleman was who was asking about her. He had been with Mr. Carlos for over ten years, he had long since figured out his boss''s personality, and Carlos didn''t dwell on people and things he didn''t care about. -Well. -Sir, Miss Mica''s French is so good that she canmunicate with Se?or James without any problems -Diego said this with a glint of appreciation in his eyes. Carlos looked up and looked at Diego. Carlos was fluent in Japanese, English, Arabic and many othernguages, except French.... -Get me a French teacher! -Carlos ordered. "How can I allow you to speak French to someone else in the future without me understanding a word?" -Sir, isn''t Miss Mica the best teacher? -Diego reminded. -Well, this month you double your bonus, beat it. Diego smiled as he closed the door and walked out. "The mind of the Lord is so well thought out!!!" Diego went to the mall today to see how work was going, but he didn''t expect to see Mica walking into the cafeteria just in time, so he kept an eye on things and saw the dispute between Se?orita Carballo and Se?orita Mica''s friend. Diego knew right away that Miss Carballo''s dress was a fake, because he remembered exactly where it came from and had seen Miss Mica wearing it. So he immediately called Carlos for instructions, learned that James was also in Tdia and, with Carlos'' help, organized everything that happened today as quickly as possible. ... It was almost 8 p. m. and Mica was amazed by Ana''s "fighting" prowess. Her buying power wasparable to Alba''s! Ana had gone from daylight to night at the mall! Mica said her legs were going to give out! "I will never agree to go shopping with Ana again, ever!" Clothes, shoes and bags, beauty and skin care, sheets and covers.... There were too many things to take, so they were all stored in the storeroom downstairs. And Mica, who hadn''t bought anything, was holding the dress she had taken from home! -Mica, what do you think of this dress? -asked Ana to Mica while she was holding a skirt in her hand andparing it to her body, while looking at Mica, she couldn''t help putting it down and smiling. -Mica, what do you want with that begging face? -Ana, are you going to buy the whole mall? Ana screamed withughter: -Okay, okay, I promise, after I try this on, we''ll go home! I''ll treat you to ate dinner. With that, Ana left for the fitting room. Mica took a seat on the sofa next to her. In this store, Ana would not leave without half an hour. A middle-aged woman, dressed in a cultured manner, had been watching Mica since she entered the store, and seeing that she was now sitting alone, approached her. -Excuse me, are you Mica? Mica looked at the stranger in front of her and was a little surprised. -Yes, and you...? -I was your piano teacher when you were a child! -The woman looked at Mica with an affectionate look. -It''s been more than ten years, you''ve grown more beautiful. By the way, how many levels have you already passed in piano? With your talent, you should have passed the whole course, shouldn''t you? Mica looked puzzled. "Piano lessons? Did I have it?" The Elvira family had a piano room, but Adriana never let her in. She imed it was her exclusive piano room, but it was rare to hear her y. Every once in a while, she would y a tune that made Mica want to cover her ears, and then she wouldn''t go in there anymore, and the room was always locked. Mica blushed slightly: -Did you mistake me for someone else? I don''t y the piano... The woman took Mica''s hand and stroked her fingertips. Her fingers were beautiful, long and slender. Of course, they didn''t have the fine calluses thate from ying the piano for so long. The woman looked regretful: -Eh, that''s a pity, you''re a great talent. Mica looked puzzled. -Your parents were happy and delighted just to see you ying the piano back then, howe they stopped? Mica withdrew her hand. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The woman was quick to apologize. -I''m sorry. -Never mind, do you know my parents? -Girl, you really don''t remember me at all? I taught your piano for three years, then for some reason your aunt fired me. I was going to say goodbye to you and ask you why you didn''t want me to teach you anymore, but my son wanted to go abroad at that time, so I went with him..... Mica''s brow furrowed, "had this happened?" She basically didn''t remember anything from the past, from the past, it was all what the aunt had told her and she had always believed it! Mica came back to the Elvira family from the orphanage, everything was strange and a little familiar to her, but what exactly was familiar, she couldn''t say? -Hey, forget it, you''re doing well now, aren''t you? -asked the woman, looking at Mica again. Mica looked at the woman with kind eyes. and. "He''s able to say his name, he doesn''t really look like he''s lying." -Well, pretty good I guess? -Mica replied. "Had I really taken piano lessons before?" The woman nodded her head. -Well, then, I''ll be going then.... -With that, the woman was about to leave. -Teacher... Mica called out to her unconsciously.... The woman paused, she was probably a very emotional person as she turned around and, in fact, she got red in the eyes! -It''s so nice to hear Mica call me Professor again..... Mica reached out and took the woman''s hand between her own, exining. -I was in a car ident when I was ten years old and I can''t remember a lot of things, so, I''m sorry.... -So that''s what happened, now it''s okay, it''s okay, it''s good that you''re doing well. Are your parents okay? Mica paused before speaking. -They died in the ident? The piano teacher was shocked for a moment, her eyes filled with pain. She had been abroad and she really didn''t know.... -Teacher, it doesn''t matter, it''s all in the past, I epted the truth a long time ago, I''m not sad anymore. -Good girl... The door of the dressing room opened and Ana came out with her new dress. -Mica, what do you think of this dress...? Chapter 46 : Micaela, The Handsome One Is Approaching Us! Chapter 46 : Mica, The Handsome One Is Approaching Us! Chapter 46 : Mica, the handsome one is approaching us! Then Ana noticed that Mica and a middle-aged woman who looked very temperamental were standing together and shaking hands. The piano teacher looked at Ana and gave her a smile. She patted Mica''s hand and smilingly said. -Is she your friend? I have nothing else to do. Go on with your shopping. I have to go. -Well. When the teacher let go of Mica''s hand and turned to leave, Mica spoke up right away. -Teacher, can I have your phone number? I''m going to visit you when I''m free. Mica didn''t know why in her heart she had a feeling of meeting an old friend, but her words jumped out as if naturally. -Okay. The teacher took out the notebook she kept in her bag, wrote her number on a piece of paper, handed it to Mica and then left. Mica and Ana watched the teacher leave, and then Ana asked, "Mica, is she your rtive? "They seem to be very familiar with each other." Mica didn''t know how to make the exnation, so she gave an ambiguous answer. -Should be. Ana was speechless and thought the answer was ridiculous. However, she didn''t care about this either. -Mica, is this dress okay? Ana turned around twice as she spoke. Mica found herself a little worried, but still admired Ana carefully and said. -Very beautiful. It makes you younger. Ana said happily. -I''ve decided to buy it. Dependent, the bill, please! Mica sat back on the sofa and put the written paper in the bag. She did not remember the events, but with so much time passed, she was used to it. But if it was different from what Aunt Marta said, Mica should pay attention. She made a decision secretly in her heart. Finally Ana gave Mica and her purse some ck, and decided to return home. The two of them walked to the elevator. -Mica, I always have something to ask you. Ana stopped walking with a serious face. -What? Ana stared into Mica''s eyes. -Have you ever worn cosmetic contact lenses? What shade are they? Mica was confused. -I haven''t worn them! Mica never thought of putting the films over her eyes. -But your eyes are very pretty. How lovely! Mica didn''t know how to answer him. In fact, in the past, some people including Alba said such things. -Really, I haven''t used them. It could be because of the people! -Ah, it''s the truth. I see that many people wear those sses, but their eyes are still not beautiful like yours. How wonderful the people in your family are! Mica only gave him a smile because she had no impression of what her parents were like. In the Elvira Family there was not a single photo album from the past. Once she also asked her Aunt Marta what her parents were like, but the aunt scolded her quite a bit and then left the truth hanging. Mica and Ana took the elevator to the second floor and left the mall. -Mica, let''s go to dinner. Ana shouted cheerfully as she walked out. Mica drew her attention to the tall, slender figure in the square in front of the market in the distance. Suddenly she felt very sweet in her mind and answered Ana. -We had dinner the other time. Ana paused, saw that Mica was looking out and followed her gaze. She found a luxurious ck Passat parked at the entrance to the mall and a tall, handsome man leaning against the car. He was looking this way with his hands stuffed in his pants pockets. He was dressed in ck straight pants, white shirt, the neckline of which was slightly open, and so a delicate corbone was showing. His facial features were as three-dimensional as they were cut by axe and knife. She had a slight smile on her mouth, with a high nose and eyes as deep as the sea. His whole body was filled with a cold and distant aura but the only thing that emanated from his eyes was a soft gaze, which was only directed at one person. And she was Mica! Ana swallowed saliva and discovered that there was a group of people and they were all women who were drooling over the man. But because of her aura away to strangers, none of them dared to approach him and just looked at him from a distance. "Wow, the man is advancing this way. The way he walks is so fascinating." "Mica, the handsome one is approaching us." Ana wanted to tug on Mica''s hand and tell her that the handsome man was close, but she felt it was hard for her to breathe and she couldn''t take her eyes off the beaming face at all. -Did you finish your shopping? Carlos looked at Mica steadily and asked in a low voice. Mica''s face turned red. -Yes, we''re ready to go back. Mica nced at Ana, who was stunned, pushed her away and exined to Carlos. -This is my colleague, Ana. And he is... -I know! He''s your boyfriend! He''s more handsome than the one in the video! Atst Ana recovered and after interrupting Mica''s words, she felt a bit impolite and smiled shyly. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Carlos had a smile on his mouth for the words about the boyfriend and greeted Ana by bowing his head. It looked like Ana was about to lose consciousness. Carlos found that they didn''t even take a bag in their hands. Mica understood his doubts and made him an exnation. -Everything we bought is stored in the center. Carlos nodded his head. -Do I need to pick up your friend at her house? Carlos asked. -No, no need. I''m going to take a cab! Immediately Ana realized that she should leave as soon as possible and it couldn''t be light bulb between them. She hailed a cab and then rushed into the center to take her things with her. Mica wanted to help Ana but Carlos grabbed her arm. Diego, who was next to the car, consciously followed Ana. -Did you buy a lot? -Yes, a lot! Mica answered him without noticing that Carlos smiled more deeply. In that case, Ana and Diego went back and forth several times and finally, they filled the entire back seat of the cab. However, Carlos'' face became colder and colder. It wasn''t until Mica and Ana said goodbye and the cab left that Mica realized that Carlos'' stern face seemed to freeze. -You tell me you''ve been shopping a lot, haven''t you? -Carlos asked. Mica was very puzzled and answered him honestly. -Yes, everything is Ana''s. She enjoys shopping. Mica felt that this was not what mattered to him, and suddenly, the words he said in the morning popped into her mind. -To buy more things you like as you walk the streets. There is no password for the card. Buy whatever you like. "Are you angry because I didn''t buy anything?" Mica exined very carefully. -I haven''t found something I like, and so I haven''t bought anything. Carlos''s face became slightly less serious but still cold. Diego stepped forward and opened the back door. -Se?or, se?orita, por favor. Carlos motioned for Mica to get into the car first and Mica did so without hesitation. Carlos'' facial expression improved a bit and he too entered the car. Chapter 47 : Maybe The Gentleman Expects You To Buy Something For Him Chapter 47 : Maybe The Gentleman Expects You To Buy Something For Him Chapter 47 : Maybe the gentleman expects you to buy something for him Diego was driving sitting in the front seat. Mica saw that Carlos still had an angry look on his face, as she did not dare to speak. The atmosphere in the car was a bit somber. Diego reflected and spoke. -Miss Noboa, after walking around for a day, haven''t you seen something you like? -No. Mica answered him and nced at Carlos secretly while he was looking out the window. -You can look to see if there is anything good for our lord. Mica turned in surprise and unconsciously paid a visit to Carlos. Carlos was still looking out the window. Diego saw that Carlos said nothing and then continued. -After walking around so much for a day, maybe the lord expects you to buy him something. -Shut up! Carlos said quietly. Diego continued speaking without concern. -As long as you bought it, it could be anything. Just as you cooked breakfast for our lord in the morning, he ate all the carrots even though he didn''t like them. -Diego! Carlos'' voice conveyed a warning and his ears slyly turned red. Actually Carlos was hopeful and even asked Diego to rece the number to receive messages from consumption after using the ck card with his own. Before Carlos thought it was annoying to receive the messages, so they were all sent to Diego''s phone. But Carlos gave the card to Mica today and suddenly felt it was something proud that she was going to consume the money he earned. He wanted to know where she liked to spend. However, he did not receive any messages during the day. He also made a call particrly to customer service to make the inquiry. He did not stop paying attention until he learned that since he had just changed the number to receive messages, the information might be temporarily dyed. It turned out that she could not receive messages because she absolutely did not use the card. -That''s right. Mica whispered. In fact, she hadn''t thought of that. He didn''t like carrots but in the morning he ate them, because she cooked them? At this moment, Mica felt that he was not so unattainable and was also an ordinary man who expected to receive a gift from someone he liked. Mica leaned towards him, kissed him gently on the cheek and quickly returned to her position, her face flushed. Carlos was first taken aback, then became very joyful and reached out his hand and hugged her. As they were still in the car and Diego too, Carlos understood that Mica was very shy, so he just repressed the joy in his heart and to her he gave her a kiss on the lips and then whispered in her ear. -I love this gift. After finishing the words, he released her. With a rosy face, Mica did not have the courage to look at him. Carlos felt happier and looked at the rearview mirror in front of him. -Diego, your bonus can be tripled this month! -Thank you very much, sir. Diego replied with a smile. Mica stepped aside with a flushed face, took the paper bag, lifted the skirt inside to show it to Carlos and asked. -Carlos, why was this dress kept in the hotel back then? In fact, she wanted to inquire if he gave her the clothes as a gift. She also knew that the dress must have been his gift.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The second time when she met him, she had a fever and fainted and he took her home. The clothes had already been changed, but he still asked Sophia to pack them to go. So, if it wasn''t for her, what was it for? But now she had already understood the significance of the clothes, so she couldn''t just treat it as an expensive dress. It was the skirt James was going to give to someone''s destined bride. And Charles was that lucky man. It was impossible for Carlos not to know the significance of the dress. But at that moment it was the first time for her to meet Carlos, he was still in such an embarrassing situation, and she regarded him as a despicable man who took advantage of the danger of others. Carlos fixed the clothes in Mica''s hand and knew she was definitely going to ask him a question. He still had a slight smile on his face, looked at her with deep eyes and asked. -What do you think? Mica''s face turned redder. She bit her lip and answered. -I don''t know. Carlos'' smile deepened. -I didn''t know at the time either. Mica raised her head and looked at him in surprise. Actually, he didn''t know at the time. When he checked out of the hotel, he suddenly remembered that her clothes were torn, and immediately noticed the dress James insisted on giving her when he went to France earlier, just happened to be in the car, so he had someone take it and leave it for her. Then, in the rainy night, he was surprised for a moment to see that it fit her very snugly and attractively. -But, now I get it. Do you want to know? Carlos asked. Mica looked into his eyes, where the answer seemed as clear as daylight. Shifting her gaze, Mica shook her head sharply. Justly the car stopped and arrived at Mica''s house, at Barrio Fann. "How weird is this babe," Carlosughed but said nothing more. He opened the car door and then covered the roof with his hand to let her out. Seeing his careful actions, Mica felt happy in her heart. Carlos reached out to pick up the paper bag from Mica''s hand, took her hand and they walked towards the building. Seeing Carlos'' hand wrapped around her own hand, a doubt fell on Mica if he was going to spend the night at her house again. With a disturbed emotion, Mica exited the elevator holding hands. Mica was distracted and wanted to take out the key but her shoes slipped. She eximed and thought she was about to fall. Carlos was smart and agile, and hugged Mica around her waist. Mica was still frightened, and unconsciously grabbed the clothes on Carlos'' chest with both hands. Carlos'' intense gaze was like a deep sea. Mica looked at him and drowned in his gaze, forgetting to react. Carlos liked her eyes fascinated with him, but at the moment, he had something more important to do. After helping her steady herself on her feet, Carlos looked down at the floor. The entire floor was wet with water and liquid flowed from Mica''s house. -Give me the key. Carlos ordered her. Mica did not recover until now, she blushed a little and hurriedly handed the key to Carlos. -Stay in a dry ce. Mica moved aside obediently. Carlos opened the door and turned on the light. He stepped inside to check the situation, then stepped out of the ce and took Mica''s hand naturally. -Carlos said, "Be careful. The floor is slippery and there is water everywhere. Mica couldn''t help but grab Carlos'' hand. She entered the house and looked around but then felt herself sinking to the bottom of her heart. -For the moment you can''t live here. Water is alsoing into the bedroom and the situation is particrly serious. The pipe in the bathroom is already broken. Carlos exined. Mica remembered that when she returned home in the morning, she found a gush of water on the floor but then forgot what had happened. If she had returned early to make the solution, it probably wouldn''t happen. -What do I do? Mica was really anxious. -Should I contact the property manager first? Or thendlord? Or the plumber? Seeing that she didn''t know how to act, Carlos reached out, touched her chin and said in a low voice. -All you have to do is ask me a favor. -What? Mica said without thinking in disbelief. -Are you capable of repairing the pipe? Carlos couldn''t hold back the urge tough and rubbed her head gently. -You just need to look at me, trust me and leave the matter to me. Mica was reddened and lowered her head. -Silly! Carlos took Mica''s hand to leave. But Mica rejected him and asked. -Where are you taking me? Carlos turned his head to look at her. -To my house. Chapter 48 : You Are Going To Sleep With Me In The Master Bedroom. Chapter 48 : You Are Going To Sleep With Me In The Master Bedroom. Chapter 48 : You are going to sleep with me in the master bedroom. Immediately Mica remembered Carlos'' house where she stayed for two days, which was that luxurious vi. Mica was a little disobedient and felt ashamed to live there. Instead of staying at his house, she felt it was more appropriate to stay in a hotel. Although she was now very pleased with him, if she went to his house, wouldn''t it all move too fast? -Why do I have to go to your house? Seeing her anxious features, Carlos couldn''t help the urge to tease her. A smile appeared on his mouth. -Of course you shoulde back with me! -Why? When Mica asked him, her heart was beating fast. She was hoping he would say something to rify the rtionship between the two of them, but she was also afraid she couldn''t ept what he was going to say at the moment. Carlos pushed Mica slightly and she leaned against the wall. With one hand braced on the wall, he moved closer to Mica and sshed a warm breath behind her ears. -In the morning, you''ve seen my whole body. Shouldn''t you be responsible for me? At once Mica remembered that at that moment in the bathroom she could admire his broad chest. -I haven''t seen anything! Mica hurried to put the facts aside whose eyes looked elsewhere, without seeing Carlos. -Really? After walking the streets all day, maybe you''re too tired and have forgotten what happened. I don''t mind waiting toe back and show you something again to jog your memory. -You don''t get anything out of your body with just one look. You have nothing to lose. Mica whispered. -I have protected my virginity for so many years. You have offended me so easily. This loss is too great for me. Carlos said holding back a smile. Mica was flushed and her heart was pounding like thunder. She nced at Carlos and did not trust his ridiculous words about virginity. Seeing her puzzled face, Carlos felt a softness in his gut and finally did not continue to tease her anymore. He reached out and gave Mica''s chin a squeeze so she could look up at him. -I''ll have someonee and fix your plumbing. The interconnection between the bathroom and the bedroom and the living room is also a safety hazard. This time we''re going to solve these problems together. Let me do it, okay? Mica looked at Carlos'' serious eyes and unconsciously nodded her head. She really didn''t know where to start the solution if she was alone. -All right, baby. Then he was going to leave together with Mica taking her hand. Mica followed her ideas to refuse to live in her house. -Don''t worry. I''ll stay in a hotel. He was still very happy with her way of not going out easily with people, but the prize was that he was not included. Carlos narrowed his eyes as what he said was very appealing. -Babe, either you go with me without question, or I will carry you in my arms. Choose a decision. As it was annoying the character of Carlos who was a man of his word, Mica had no choice but to obey him. -I''m going to fix my things. Then she let go of Carlos'' hand and went to collect the clothes on the balcony, went carefully into the bedroom, tidied up for a while and then left the room with a paper bag in hand. Carlos wanted to tell her not to bring anything, but when he saw that at the top of the bag was the jewelry set called Heartbeat that he asked Ernesto to give herst time, he said nothing and reached out to help her. "The babe is very attentive. She even doesn''t forget the first gift I give her. " Of course, Mica took it because the set was expensive and there was a risk of losing it if she left it here. And she ced it on top because below were the dresses and underwear. Seeing that Carlos and Mica went down together again, Diego was very cheerful, got out of the car quickly and opened the back seat door. They sat down one after the other. -Let''s go to Nyisrenda. -Yes, sir. Ten minutester, the car arrived at the destination. Nyisrenda was the most luxurious vi area in all of Tdia City, with an area of several thousand mu! Inside there were only a dozen dwellings and in each vi there was a front garden, a back garden and a swimming pool. It was fully equipped and the security facilities were also impable. The gates to themunity were strictly controlled. Cabs were not allowed to enter either. You could tell that everyone who lived here were the important and super rich people in Tdia! Carlos took Mica''s hand to get out of the car and they walked towards the building. Looking at the vi with abundant lighting out front, Mica had both an unfamiliar and familiar feeling. It had only been half a month, buting here again, she felt as if a lifetime had passed. Sofia, who was wondering if Mr. Carlos wasing back, ran outside after hearing the sound of the car and saw not only Carlos entering from outside, but also a slender figure. Sofia did not see her clearly until Mica approached. She stepped forward in surprise and was very excited to see that Carlos and Mica were holding hands. -Miss Noboa, how nice to see you back atst. -Sofia. Mica greeted her shyly. -Mica greeted her shyly. Then Sofia remembered that she had forgotten Carlos due to the joy of seeing Mica, and hurriedly reached out her hand to take the paper bag in his hand. -Sir, would you like something to eat? Carlos looked at Mica with a smile. -Are you hungry? Just as Mica was about to speak, a rumble sounded in her stomach, which answered for her. Naturally Sofia heard it and then happily said she was going to prepare the food. She quickly put things away and went to the kitchen. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Mica blushed. After walking around for a day, she only had something light in the evening. It was now almost nine o''clock. Of course she was hungry. Carlos took her straight to the restaurant. Mica looked around and knew this ce was where he was living. Carlos pushed the stool away and made her sit down. Mica was stunned for a moment, because this was the main seat, and he took the initiative to let her sit in this important ce. Carlos lightly pressed Mica''s shoulders, made her sit down, and then sat down across from her. The ingredients were well prepared, and then Sofia quickly cooked two bowls of seafood noodles and served them to them. Mica was starving and ate generously. Carlos looked at her from time to time. He remembered the image thatst time he was rejected by her when they sat here for dinner. Finally he took her home again. After dinner, Carlos directed her to sit on the couch and they ate fruit together. Mica''s mind began to wander. "I''ve finished dinner, I''ve also eaten fruits, and then I have a doubt - where am I going to sleep?" Micaunched a visit towards the guest room where she sleptst time and was eager to go there directly. As if he understood what she was thinking, Carlos took Mica''s hand and they walked towards the stairs. Precipitously Mica grabbed the stair railing and said anxiously. -Carlos, I want to sleep in the guest room! Carlos showed a mischievous grin on his face. He stood on the staircase, holding the railing with both hands to trap Mica between the handrail and his embrace. -Mica, you have two choices! Carlos'' words made Mica''s heart beat faster. She blushed and didn''t dare to look at him. -What are they? -One, you''re going to sleep with me in the master bedroom. Mica''s heart beat faster and she answered without hesitation. -I choose the second option! Yes! The second one! Carlos smiled even more satisfied and asked her again. -Really? Mica nodded her head fiercely and reached out her hand to push Carlos'' grip away, but he didn''t let go and said quietly. -The second option is that I''m going to sleep with you in the guest room! Mica remained silent and looked at Carlos with an incredible expression on her face. -There is no difference! -The difference is huge, Mica, my bed is bigger and morefortable! Mica was blushing. "I don''t need your bed." -I rmend adding the third option! -I reject it! Carlos uttered the words irresistibly and then dragged her upstairs. Directly they entered the master bedroom. Thus, Mica found therge, soft bed at a nce. Chapter 49 : Baby, Close Your Eyes Chapter 49 : Baby, Close Your Eyes Chapter 49 : Baby, Close Your Eyes -In the closet there are pajamas. Go take a bath. Mica nced down at the white ten-foot bed unsure how to act. Seeing her nervous face, Carlos said with a wicked grin. -I''d love to help you take a shower. Mica blushed and shook her head with effort. -No, I don''t need it. Carlos lifted Mica''s chin, looking at her flushed face, and reminded himself not to scare her, then spoke to her in a low voice. -I have something to do in the study. Go to sleep first and don''t wait for me. Mica breathed a sigh of relief and then reacted sharply. -No one''s going to wait for you. Neither am I. The more she spoke, the redder her face got. Carlosughed with great satisfaction, then jumped her and walked away. Mica rubbed her face that was about to burn, opened the closet, selected a bathrobe and then went into the bathroom. After Mica got ready, Carlos still did not return. Micay down and the bed seemedfortable. She grabbed a pillow to hold in her arms and feltfortable after a warm bath. Her drowsiness increased and when she slept, she was still thinking about not walking the streets again. By the time Carlos returned to the room, Mica was fast asleep. She was lying on her side, her long hair spread out on the pillow, with the other cushion held tightly in her arms. Carlos couldn''t help but feel a little jealous of the cushion. After the shower, Carlosy down next to Mica, he gently removed the pillow she was holding in her arms and then hugged her, so Carlos gave a happy sigh. "Good night, my baby. We still have a lot of time ahead of us. " Mica didn''t wake up until nine o''clock the next day. She lifted her body, sat up and looked around this giant room. She didn''t find Carlos'' figure, but all around she was still surrounded by his breath. Mica endured his face and thought that yesterday shopping was so tiring that she didn''t even know when he came in. Again they slept in the same bed. Mica checked her clothes, saw that she was well dressed and didn''t feel ufortable in her body. Mica covered her face with her hands, because she couldn''t help but doubt in her brain whether she wasn''t attractive enough for Carlos or this man had an outstanding approach. "Or he''s just too much of a gentleman. " "Do you still want something to happen to you two?" Mica had a mess on her mind. She saw that the bag broughtst night was on the table, hurriedly got out of bed, got dressed, washed up and went downstairs. -Miss Noboa. Sofia was sending people at the door toe in moving a mattress inside. When she saw Mica -Sofia. -Good morning, miss. Go and have breakfast. The food is ready. The master has left early. Mica continued thinking that he was so busy that he could not rest on weekends. -Miss Noboa, Mr. Noboa says he has prepared aputer for you and is in the study. You can consult pages on the if you find it boring. Aputer? Mica wanted to find something to do so she wouldn''t have time to think badly. After breakfast, Mica went upstairs and entered the study. The room was very clean, without the slightest stain and with a strong smell of books. First she wandered past the high bookshelves. There were piles of books and even many were out of print! The numerous ones were the ones Mica wanted to read! She was a little excited - she didn''t want to leave the study today! On the table next to the sofa was a brand newputer. Mica sat down and turned on theputer to install the software she needed. Although she didn''t bring the sketches, the outlines of the design were already in her mind and she could draw a rough project first. Mica went about her work. At noon, Sofia went upstairs to call her for lunch. After lunch, Mica returned to the studio until a deep, soft, male voice rang out. -Did you finish everything? Mica raised her head and noticed that Carlos was leaning over her, his ck eyes staring at her. At once Mica wanted to get up. The table was rtively low, so she was kneeling in front of the table, but she forgot that she had been in this posture for a long time, she stood patiently and then stumbled forward. Carlos embraced her fully and the fragrance wafting into her nostrils made him squeeze her even tighter in his arms. -Do you miss me so much? You even take the initiative to give me a hug, really? Mica struggled to get out. -It''s not like that, it''s just that my legs are numb! Carlos helped her sit on the couch. Mica wanted to stretch her feet but Carlos put his leg over her knee and rubbed her calf with his hand. Mica bit her lip. Carlos pressed her leg veryfortably , with moderate force, and then both the pain and the numbness gradually subsided. -Carlos, I''m recovered. Thank you. Mica said softly with a flushed face and then retracted her leg. Carlos took out a white rectangr box from behind and handed it to her. -It''s for you. Mica was surprised for a moment and looking at the packaging, she understood that it was a cell phone. Last night he had talked to her in the video that he would buy her a new one, but she had not answered. And now, had he bought her the cell phone so quickly? Carlos took her hand and gave her the case in his hand. He had originally felt like taking her to buy the new cell phone, but considering her character, she would surely refuse, so he ordered a customized cell phone directly for her. -Yours isn''t broken? Yesterday in the bathroom, Carlos saw that the screen of her phone was broken. Property ? N?velDrama.Org. -But it''s still usable. -Open the box. Carlos spoke without allowing her to deny it. Noticing the persistence in his eyes, Mica still obeyed him. After opening the box, she saw that inside was a full-screen cell phone, with a moderate size and an excellent feel. She turned her phone over and discovered that the back was a very youthful pink. Although she was a little surprised, she loved this color at first nce still, which gave her a clean and elegant feel. -Don''t you like it? Carlos frowned because he thought girls preferred pink. Mica shook her head at once. -I don''t, I love it very much. But how much does it cost? -Put the card if you like it! Saying this, Carlos reached out and took the phone she had left on the table, and inserted the card into the new equipment easily. Seeing that he acted with the impetus of lightning, Mica had no chance for rejection at all. -Carlos, how much does the phone cost? Carlos interrupted her. -You don''t need to pay me back. Carlos was a little angry, because he wanted to give her this gift and naturally she didn''t need to pay. Mica shook her head with a serious face. -You can''t, Carlos. You have helped me a lot. Mica still didn''t finish her words, but suddenly Carlos pushed her towards the arm of the sofa and his body covered her. He looked at her with deep eyes and said in a low voice. -Mica, don''t you know that the most taboo thing for a man is when a woman tells him she can''t? In an instant, Mica blushed. -Maybe I should need the practical actions to prove if I can or not. Having said that, Carlos lowered his head and kissed her red lips. This kiss was so sudden that Mica didn''t respond for a moment. -Baby, close your eyes. -Well. Mica responded stupidly. Carlos saw that she had no intention of rejecting him, and so he kissed her seductive lips again without hesitation. Mica''s heart was beating violently. She felt Carlos'' soft, slightly cool lips pressed against hers and unconsciously closed her eyes. Carlos'' lovely breath lingered between Mica''s lips and teeth, and she answered him carefully and involuntarily, and what she achieved was even more.... Carlos'' breathing became increasingly ragged. To her he ran his hand down her back and hugged her closer to himself. It wasn''t until Mica felt she couldn''t breathe anymore that she realized she waspletely covered by him on the couch. She regained consciousness and came to her senses, and struggled pushing against him with her hands. Carlos released her and noticed that her eyes were straying, her face became flushed and her lips were slightly swollen. Involuntarily he kissed her forehead, her cheek, the tip of her nose and her chin with satisfaction. Then, above her, he was still watching her beautiful eyes at a distance of a few inches and said in a low voice. -I think on the question of whether or not I can, I need to continue some more. Chapter 50 : Although The Distance Is Enormous, We Are Still On The Same Route. Chapter 50 : Although The Distance Is Enormous, We Are Still On The Same Route. Chapter 50 : Although the distance is enormous, we are still on the same route. Mica abruptly pushed him away and stood up to sit down, then her hand covered Carlos'' thin lips, preventing him from speaking further. -I know! Yes, you can! Very excellent! Mica felt more heat on her face as if she was going to burn, and didn''t understand why they were discussing such a strange topic. Seeing out of the corner of her eye the phone he left on the table, immediately Mica remembered the money. She hesitated because at the moment she didn''t have a single euro more to pay either. But if she refused this cell phone again, he would probably look for another reason to take advantage of her. -Well, thank you very much. I get this cell phone first and I''ll pay you back when I get paid. Carlos became morecent without worrying too much about the money. He took Mica''s hand down with his own, held her hand in his palm and asked her another question. -Did you visit the room? -What? Mica raised her head and did not understand what he was about. "It seems that she really has stayed in the study without going out for a day like what Sofia says." He took her hand and the two of them left the studio. Mica walked out of the room holding his hand. They passed through the master bedroom and then stopped in front of the door to the next room. Mica looked inexplicably at Carlos as he motioned for her to open the door with her eyes. Then Mica reached up and pushed the door open. The room was veryrge and obviously not only the decor but also the furniture was feminine in style. The wallpaper was pink which was a very light color and very close to white. There was a white three- meter bed and in addition, the daily necessities decorated with the small pink flowers were distributed on this European princess style bed. There was also a dressing table of the same series, a huge closet, a desk and a thick carpet on the floor. Mica was iparably amazed. Was the room prepared for her? -Do you like it? Carlos asked her in a low voice. Mica didn''t know what to do. Why did he prepare the room for her? She guessed that today she might return to the house she rented. -In the house you rent, the floor is made of wood, do you know that? Mica nodded in surprise with an expression of how he knew what she was thinking. -Yesterday the floor was soaked in water for a day and it''s already unusable. So bad! Immediately Mica felt very worried and cautiously asked a question. -Well, is the repair going to take a long time? Carlos frowned and said seriously. -Indeed. They also have to rece the door and examine and repair the circuit. Actually, half a day was enough to solve these issues, but Carlos was not going to tell her the truth. Mica was very anxious about her wallet and believed that if she had known, she would not make the transfer to the president''s mother with the remaining money. Carlos took her to the closet, telling her to open it. Had he prepared all the clothes for her? Thinking about this, Mica opened the closet door. Inside was a row full of dresses, suits and house clothes. There was everything and they were clearly in her size. Mica was so shocked at heart. What Carlos prepared was so thoughtful! It was the first time a person had ever considered and prepared everything for her. -Very touched? Carlos lifted his chin and asked quietly. Mica nodded her head. -I really hope you don''t like this room. -What? Mica looked at him with surprise. -So I can take you to my room to sleep. In this case he prepared the bedroom for her with self-torture. Every piece of furniture, including the clothes, was chosen by him before delivery. He hoped that every night she would fall asleep in his arms, but he also understood that she was not ready to develop a closer rtionship with him, and so, he was willing to wait until she epted him Red-faced, Mica shook her head without looking into his deep eyes. -Yes, I like it, it''s the truth! I want to sleep in this room! Carlos smiled slightly, knowing that the little girl had tacitly epted to live here until her house was repaired, which made him feel very happy, and then he took her downstairs. -Let''s go, let''s eat. *** The next day, Mica woke up slowly in the new room. Wanting to go for a walk while still groggy, she unconsciously moved to the side and then turned around, but always felt a warm embrace behind her. After regaining consciousness, she saw that only she was lying in the middle of the bed and in an instant her face turned red. The habit really was a horrible thing. Even she thought she slept in Carlos'' arms all night. She got out of bed as if she was running away and ran to the bathroom to wash herself. Then she stood in front of the closet and picked out a professional suit with a high cor, and unconsciously nced at the sign on the neckline. Chanel. Then she looked at a few more dresses and discovered that they were all the same brand. As it was easy from frugality to luxury, she had the worry that soon she would only go to wear the famous maas under her influence. She took the socks out of the bottom drawer and a pair of proper shoes from the shoe rack. After putting on her shoes, she went downstairs refreshed. Carlos was already sitting in the restaurant and reading the newspaper. Today he was dressed in a ck shirt, which made him look aloof and abstinent, reading the paper intently, and his thin lips pressed tightly together. Admiring his profile, Mica remembered that she recently thought she was in the same bed with him when she was in a daze. As if he knew she wasing, Carlos put down the newspaper and looked up at her. -Good morning, Carlos. Mica hurried to greet him first. Carlos raised his eyebrows. Today Mica''s hair was pulled up, which would make her small jaw look more delicate. It would make her look very energetic in the professional suit with the ck alternating with the white. -Good morning, Mica. Immediately Mica blushed a little. -Go have breakfast. I''ll take you to workter. -Okay. Thank you very much. Sympathetically Mica sat down across from him. -Miss Noboa, good morning! -Good morning, Sofia! -Did you sleep wellst night? Sofia greeted him casually, but Mica''s face turned red again. -Yes, very well. Quickly Sofia and another maid served them breakfast. Carlos nced meaningfully at Mica and his mouth curved slightly. The breakfast was very rich, both Chinese and Western style. Mica externalized excitement that rich people were so extravagant. After breakfast, Mica carried her bag, walked to the door and saw Diego driving and the car approaching. Parking the car, Diego got out, opened the back seat door and greeted her. -Miss Noboa, good morning! -Mr. Ocampo, good morning! Mica looked around, looking for the driver who took her to workst time. -Get in. Carlos, who emerged from behind her, made an abrupt sound. -What? Mica was confused. "Are we going to work together?" -We''re on the same route! Mica had no choice but to get in the car and sit in the back with Carlos. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Diego said nothing but smiling, climbed in the front and started the car to leave. "On the asion of taking you to the destination, although the distance is enormous, we are still on the same route." This car was dominant on the outside and luxurious on the inside. Carlos sat down in front of the table and on it was aputer. On the way, Carlos continued to pay attention on theputer screen where he could see lines and symbols that Mica could not understand, while Carlos'' slender fingers tapped on the keyboard. Mica asked to stop the car while there was still apany intersection. Carlos nodded slightly and Diego slowed the car. Mica reached out to open the door, however, another hand acted faster than her and pressed the door handle. Carlos'' lips were close to Mica''s ear. He whispered. -I''ll pick you up when you get off work. Chapter 51 : Josefina, Thank You Very Much For Praising Me For The Beauty. Chapter 51 : Josefina, Thank You Very Much For Praising Me For The Beauty. Chapter 51 : Josefina, thank you very much for praising me for the beauty. Mica shrugged her neck, blushed and gave a low hum. The door opened. Mica got out of the car at once and closed the door. Watching the car drive off, Mica patted her chest. "This heart stays bad and beats faster every time when hees around. " After walking for five minutes, Mica entered thepany. All along the way, colleagues greeted her enthusiastically, and someone even lifted her arm directly to show her the bracelet received the night of that dinner. It was the first time for her to receive such warm attention from her colleagues - all to Carlos'' credit! She always behaved in a minor tone but this time she acted outstanding. When she arrived at her apartment, Mica felt some bad attention and unconsciously looked over and discovered it was from Josefina, her colleague in the same office. Josefina gave her a disdainful nce, walked in arrogantly and pped her shoulder hard. Ever since Mica started working in this department, she always felt her gaze strange. But Mica was in a good mood and knew that she had the function like money to please everyone. "We will not attack unless we are attacked." Quietly Mica reached her seat and sat down. She pulled out her phone thinking to check the Whatsapp workgroup messages. Actually the new cell phone was very useful with a specifically sensitive reaction. She had not yet initiated the connection on Whatsapp. Mica entered the password and then received a notification that the phone number needed to be verified. After several actions, she could finally use Whatsapp. It rang several times on Whatsapp. Mica scrolled through the news. Alba sent her some messages and some that were useless were also seen. Then, a new message popped up. The confirmation to add Carlos'' contact from before was already approved! Mica read the words on the application: You are now friends and can start chatting. Mica was stunned for a while and always had a weird feeling. -Wow, how nice is your phone! As soon as Ana came in, she ran to Mica, and shone her eyes that looked towards the cell phone. -It''s really a global custom model! Another colleague also came over. He was an expert on phones and could discover the model at a nce. Mica also gave her cell phone a once-over. "Is it a global custom model?" Mica looked towards the colleague and asked. -Is it expensive? She didn''t know much about cell phones and was undemanding. The colleague and Mica looked at each other. Seeing the girl''s clear eyes, he couldn''t help but shift his visit elsewhere with a faster heartbeat. -Well, it depends on the configuration. The minimum is almost ten thousand euros. Ten thousand euros! Immediately Mica clutched the cell phone tightly in her hand, afraid to drop it carelessly to the floor, crying in her heart. When could she return the money to Carlos? -How generous your boyfriend is! Ana said enviously. -Ugh, it''s because he takes advantage of her beauty! Suddenly Josefina said. Ana looked at her. -Josefina, don''t be too much! -Too much? What I''m saying is the truth! While Ana wanted to make the answer, Mica took her hand and turned her head to look at Josefina. -Josefina, thank you very much for praising me for the beauty. My parents gave me the look. I am also very grateful to them. Ana admired Mica''s intelligence and continued speaking. -Of course, beauty is innate, but some people''s jealous personalities are made. A furtive sneer sounded in the office. Josefina was very angry, but seeing Kikiing, she could only hold her anger. However, when she saw the person behind Kiki, she sat back down with a proud smile. Kiki had sent a message in the group that Ivanna was the client for Mica''s design. At thest dinner, Ivanna left discouraged, and this time she would definitely not get along with Mica. Mica and Ana also saw Kiki and discovered that the woman behind Kiki was Ivanna. Seeing Mica, Ivanna felt so much hatred that she really wanted to bite her with her teeth. "I just don''t find anything good with her and she always embarrasses me. Today I have to teach her a lesson." -Mica. Kiki stood in front of Mica''s desk. Immediately Mica stood up. -Kiki said, "Last weekend you finished the sketches, didn''t you? Ivanna says she wants to read them now. Read the sketches? In a normal process, the clients were not going to read the sketches because they might not be able to understand them. So the guests waited for the design to be finished on theputer and then reviewed the result directly. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Ivanna stepped forward and confronted Mica face to face. -They say they have given you my jewelry to make the design, and then Ie here on purpose to see. If your design is too rustic, I''m not going to ept it. -Be that as it may, you are a poor girl. Even if you get good grades in school, it doesn''t mean you can design something high-end. Ana was quite furious to hear it. -Hey, what''s wrong with you! Don''t you know how to speak well? The colleagues couldn''t help butugh under their breath. -Ana, Ivanna is our client, you can''t talk like that. Kiki said seriously with boss-like posture. Ivanna suppressed the anger in her heart and gave Ana a ruthless look. Mica said politely. -Of course, it''s no problem if you want to check the sketches. But I don''t know if you can understand them. Ivanna was speechless. Indeed, not to mention the sketches, she couldn''t possibly understand the design either because her race grades were so bad. However, her motive was not the design review. Mica ceased saying more, turned around and reached for the folder in the pile of files erected on her desk. Suddenly her heart was pounding with an abnormal feeling. The folder was missing! Mica looked for it again hopefully but still couldn''t find it. Kiki and Ana saw that Mica became obviously nervous and immediately asked her. -What is it, Mica? Finally Mica gave up the search, because in general she regrly put her things in order but it was obvious that someone had hidden her object. There was no sense in searching for the second time. -The sketches are missing. Ana looked toward Mica with surprise, not understanding the reason. She approached to look for them again but Mica raised her hand and stopped her. -I have gone through all the documents in this row and I can''t find the sketches. Ana opened the drawer to check hopefully. Inside there were few things and the folder was not to be found at a nce. Apparently, someone had taken the file. Kiki frowned and looked at everyone who approached. "There are seven people in the office, myself included. We each have keys to the office. Last Friday we all went to dinner together. " -Lost? Are you sure? Or are you really not capable of doing theyout? Ivannaughed proudly. -I said youck the ability, what are you pretending for? -The grades at the university are from an unfounded theory. The work after graduation in society is not the same as in school. -Ivanna, Mica has really finished the drawing and proved it to me. Otherwise, I won''t promise you to Ivanna was not convinced by Kiki''s words and made a groan. -Then show me the sketches, do you still suspect that I can''t understand them? Well, give me your design! Kiki looked at Mica and asked with her eyes. -The sketches are really missing. Mica nced towards Kiki and answered seriously. Chapter 52 : You Have Planned In Advance Chapter 52 : You Have nned In Advance Chapter 52 : You have nned in advance Kiki nodded and looked at a colleague. -Juan, go to the technical department to transfer the surveince! In the office, everyone''s mood was veryplicated. Mica sighed in relief. She had forgotten that there was surveince. Ana suddenly said: -Wow, everything will be clear when you see the surveince. Mica was watching everyone secretly. Only Josefina seemed a little nervous, but it wasn''t obvious. "Although she didn''t like me, it didn''t seem necessary to go to this extreme." Besides, she had been with thepany for a long time, so it was impossible for her not to know that the office was under surveince. It was too big a risk! "And who could it be?" And at that moment a man from the technical department arrived. He brought aputer, found a seat and started to operate it. Everyone gathered around. Soon the monitor showed a screen from Friday afternoon. The screen showed the entire office area, where everyone was at their station doing their own thing. Mica''s position was in the best view, so you could clearly see that she was drawing. -Hey, let''s see, Mica is drawing the design! -Ana said to Ivanna. Ivanna snorted in defiance: -Then give it to me! Ana affirmed: -This video is very clear, and we''ll find out who stole itter! The ssmates also looked intently at the screen. Kiki suddenly pressed pause. Everyone looked at her with confusion, and she spoke in a serious voice: -We all know very well that, this sketch, it makes no sense to the others, only that it could have been taken by someone from our department. -Now take it out voluntarily and I won''t chase anymore. After saying that, he looked at everyone, and especially at Josefina. Josefina echoed loudly: -Okay. We are all in the same office, it would be embarrassing to be discovered! The others also hurried to speak, fearing that, if they didn''t, they would be suspected. -Are they trying to copy Mica''s design? -Kiki has seen the design, so it''s useless to wear it! -It''s Mica''s original, and it should have her signature! ... As no one admitted it, Kiki sighed and pressed continue. The scene appeared again: Mica packed the design and put it in a yellow folder, then ced it with the other folders. Kiki left the office and after saying something, several stood up and apuded. Then everyone left one by one, thest to leave were Mica and Ana. The picture began to get darker and darker, and the whole office was empty. With only the white light of the surveince, which were very scary.... Friday night''s surveince passed quickly, then it was Saturday. No movement all day, night fell again, everyone could not help but tense their nerves.... Suddenly, the ck screen appeared. Everyone was puzzled. The man rushed to operate the keyboard. -Yourpany''s security system is not very good either! Ivannaughed with her arms around her chest. After a few minutes, the man abandoned the operation and said: -Since the video has been artificially destroyed, there is no way to retrieve it from Saturday night. Someone breathed a sigh of relief. Mica and Kiki looked at each other and both frowned.... -This guy has nned ahead, he''s already destroyed the surveince. -If the thiefes from thepany, he must know there is surveince! -Even if it was caught, it could that the person was disguised, we also can''t conclude immediately, who he is. Everyone had his own opinion. The chances were even smaller. -What can we do? I came early in the morning to see the design sketches? -said Ivanna gloatingly. At first, she came to look at the sketch, deliberately picking up mistakes, picking on Mica, so that Property ? N?velDrama.Org. she would voluntarily surrender, so she could ask Kiki for the money for breach of contract! But now it looked like she could only get a refund! -The delivery date is approaching, but you don''t even have a sketch of the design. The colleagues whispered at Ivanna''s words. -It''s faster to operate on theputer when the sketches are done. -Now you can''t find the sketch and the tracking has been destroyed? -If you redraw the sketch now, it will be faster, it''s just that, production-wise, I''m afraid there won''t be enough time. ... -I''m about to debut and specifically customize this ne, but now, there''s no way to finish it, is there? "See if you still won''t budge!" Kiki looked at Ivanna and argued: -You''reingter to see the design sketches to give Mica two days? -No way! I''ve already given you plenty of time. -I need to see the finished product before my debut time is specifically set, now it''s been a long time -Your debut was suddenly moved up by more than a month, wasn''t it? -Ana said aloud. Ivanna looked at Anna with disgust: -So what, I need it on the 21st of this month! Not to mention the design, the sketches aren''t even avable. You have to revise it if I''m not satisfied. -Can you deliver the product on time? How ridiculous! Kiki was also silent. Customizing jewelry asked for quite a long process, to show the customer, if he wasn''t satisfied with the revision. Although she had confidence in Mica, there were no design sketches at this point. The time was really too rushed.... -Kiki, we are friends, so it is better to refund it. They all looked at each other. There had never been any refund since the establishment of the This was reputational damage. -As for breach of contract, the contract says ten times, I think we should pay only five times! Wasn''t that deliberately trying to embarrass them? -Ivanna, aren''t you and Mrs. Costa good friends? -That''s unfair! You haven''t even reached the delivery date, and you''re already talking about -It''s not that we didn''t draw the design, it''s that someone stole it! ... When Ivanna heard what everyone was saying, she responded without conviction: -So what, our friendship doesn''t work for everyone. Naturally they have to pay me for the order. Mica frowned. "This is my first design, and it just got messed up?" She really wasn''t willing. She had worked hard, and she was sure that when the design came out, Ivanna would definitely not reject it..... "Wait!" Mica red fiercely at Ivanna: -As long as you can see the diagram now, you don''t want a refund, do you? -Yes! -But you don''t even have a sketch. She sat confidently in front of theputer and replied: -I got it! Chapter 53 : I DidnT Know Anything Chapter 53 : I Didn''T Know Anything Chapter 53 : I Didn''t Know Anything Everyone took a deep breath. It couldn''t be! Why was she so confident? Were there design drawings? Mica sat down, turned on herputer and logged into the drawing application. She had only been thinking about her sketches but had forgotten what she had done yesterday in Carlos'' studio. Yesterday she hesitated between reading the book and making the diagram. Resisting the temptation to read a book, I finally opted to draw a design. She then became totally absorbed and drew all day. Carlos came back, gave her a new phone and set up a separate room for her, which surprised her so much that she forgot about the design drawings.... She was dragged out of the studio by Carlos, and she wasn''t sure if she had saved the design.... "Does it look like the software can save automatically?" Nervously, Mica clicked, and in less than a minute, a design made from the ne appeared. Mica''s dangling heart fell to the ground. In fact, only the shape was visible, not even a half-finished product, with most of the data not yet created. But it wasn''t obvious to anyone outside the industry. Now one could only bet that Ivanna wasn''t able to notice the problem.... Ivanna looked at this drop-like pattern that was embedded with a pearl; The diamonds were surrounded by diamonds on the edges; The lines were beautiful, especially the top of the drop, which had a shape simr to the crown of a peacock''s head.... Ivanna liked it very much... Josefina wanted to say something, but restrained herself. The shape was seen by Kiki. She looked at Mica with appreciation. Someone had voiced what Kiki wanted to say: -I didn''t expect that in one weekend, you''d make the design.... The prototype... the two words she automatically silenced. The people in the office could see at a nce that it was just a prototype, not a finished design. However, seeing that Ivanna waspletely ignorant and still seemed to be impressed, everyone said nothing. Because they were on a united front at this point. -It''s so pretty. The design is so tempting, the actual thing is even more indescribable! -Yes, the diamonds would be so sparkling. -Mica has done well! Mica just smiled, secretly watching Ivanna to make sure she didn''t realize it was a design that wasn''t yet finished. She was much calmer. Ivanna fell in love with this ne design at first sight. Although she had also studied this profession, she didn''t really know anything! She only cared about the exterior style. Everyone looked at her as if to say: -If you have something else to say, say it. Which made Ivanna suddenly remember her purpose. However, she would not be able to reject this design now. Adriana''s words came to mind: -You do your best to spot ws in materials, shapes and sizes! She pretended professional as she pointed to the screen: -Are these pearls not too bad? -You can''t tell the type of pearls in the design. I have marked at the beginning of the design, that the pearls will be Persian Gulf, and looking at your skin tone, I will probably use light pink. She imagined the look and found she liked it even more. "I can''tpromise at all!" -Then this diamond is too small! -The size is designed to scale. If the diamond is too big, it will steal the limelight from the pearl, how about recing the pearl..... ? -No! You can''t change them. Ivanna hastened to say, gritting her teeth, and continued: -The overall size is too small, it''s not enough to attract attention! The colleague next to her couldn''t stand the look and replied: -This size is specific to your height and figure. -You''re going to a show, are you going to sell jewelry? -Haha, he''s right, do you want everyone to just look at your ne instead of you? Ivanna finally blushed? -Okay! So, will you be able to make the finished product on time? Kiki smiled and said: -Sure. As soon as the design is printed, you can hand it over to the engineering department to start manufacturing it. "I''ll look at the product made with Adriana, and then we''ll scrap it for not conforming to the design principles! We can''t let Mica get away with this!" "And I''ll ask Natalia to fire those who humiliated me!" Only, that design, she really liked it..... "I can find someone else to design it!" Ivanna raised her head proudly again and replied: -Okay. Kiki nodded and prepared to escort Ivanna out. However, Ivanna suddenly remembered something and looked at Mica: -If you have the design, why did you only look for the sketch? Are you cheating on me? Those present were also stunned. "Why didn''t you get it out sooner?" Mica downyed the design and replied: -As soon as you arrived, you said you wanted to see the sketch! Ana interjected: -That''s right! Kiki hastened to say: -It''s my oversight. I didn''t think Mica had already created the design over the weekend. Only then Ivanna left without saying anything. After she left the office, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gathered again. -Mica, you are so witty! -Michael, do you have the power of foresight? Everyone asked eagerly. -Actually, I was quite anxious because my sketch had been stolen. I forgot that I had done part of the design," Mica exined. -Why didn''t she see that the design was half done? This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Kiki came back, listening to Ana''s question and said: -She''ll find out soon enough. We''re lucky she didn''t find out now, but she won''t give up easilyter! Having said that, Kiki turned to Josephine and asked directly: -Are you the one who took the design sketch? Chapter 54: The Truth Will Come Out Chapter 54: The Truth Will Come Out Chapter 54: The truth wille out Everyone looked at Josefina. It wasmon knowledge that she had always hated Mica. Josefina, who was fiddling with the cell phone, hurried to put it in her pocket and stood up, fear in her heart, but she didn''t admit it: -I didn''t! -A moment ago, I saw that you almost wanted to tell Ivanna that the design was half-baked. -I care more about the interests of thepany. You can''t use me of stealing the design just for that. As I had suspected Josephine, Anna immediately said: -But you''ve messed with Mica a lot and we all know it! -I hate her, but I don''t go so far as to nder her -Josefina said with conviction-, -What proof do you have? Everyone was silent, because the best proof was the surveince, which had been destroyed. Mica stood up and approached Kiki: -I think Josefina didn''t do it. Everyone looked at Mica with astonishment. Josefina often bullied Mica, relying on the fact that she was the leader of the group, and ordered her to serve the tea and print the documents. Anyone could see how much she hated Mica. Mica continued: -She is our leader, and she knows well the serious consequences of stealing designs. Mica believed she had no need to take the risk. -She''s right, Josefina wouldn''t do anything illegal! One of Josefina''s friends also rushed to speak for her. Kiki said after a pause: -Each has a key to the office. The design sketch would be stolen, no doubt by someone in the office! Looking at everyone, before continuing: -I''ll see to it that someone continues the investigation! And then he turned to Mica: -Follow me! -Mica,e here for a moment! Then he entered his office. Josefina gave him a contemptuous look and said in a low voice:Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. -Don''t think I''m going to appreciate you because you said for me! Mica also said indifferently: -I don''t need your gratitude either. One who has done nothing wrong is innocent even if he says nothing to make himself clear. The truth wille out. Having said that, she went to Kiki''s office. She closed the door and approached the desk. -Do you think I shouldn''t have doubted Josephine in front of everyone? -Kiki put down the pen and asked her. Mica nodded. -That''s the effect I want, to make her anxious and reveal herself naturally. -Why? Why are you so sure she did it? "She had been bullied a lot, but she still decided to believe in Josephine." -Because, on Saturday night, I saw her near the office! Mica was so surprised. "The surveince was damaged on Saturday night and Josefina was over there..." It was definitely not a coincidence. -So why didn''t you say so? -Because I suspected she had an aplice! Mica suddenly realized. "She couldn''t have done it so perfectly alone that she destroyed the surveince early." They both nodded. Now all they had left to do was wait. Kiki reached over and patted Mica''s shoulder: -You surprise me, prototyping the design in such a short time. How did you do it? -The final look was already in my head when I was sketching it. I only did part of it yesterday so I could work faster today, and I didn''t think it helps us. -How long will the data take approximately? After a slight moment of reflection, he replied: -The day after tomorrow should be fine! -Courage! -Yes! *** Mica returned to her post and set to work. Opening the design, Mica noticed that it had clearly been modified. She had not looked at it carefully before that it was even more detailed. This had saved her a lot of time. The only person who could have done this was Carlos? "What a surprise, he knows how to design too?" She hurried to get to work. Ana had bought him lunch and she continued to do so after lunch. The way he went about his work made Ana ashamed of herself. "Who says only men are more charming when they are serious about their work?" "Women are more charming, okay?" "Especially Mica!" She was fascinated! "Howe Josefina hates her even though she''s so nice?" As she thought this, Ana looked at Josefina, whose position was the firstpartment at the entrance, scanning the whole office. So Ana got down and pretended to be resting at her desk, but continued to secretly watch her. Josefina did not realize that someone was watching her, and came out with her cell phone in hand.... She seemed very bewitched. She was behaving strangely! Ana sat down next to Mica and said: -Come on! Mica was puzzled and hurried to click save.... -What''s wrong? Ana peeked her head out and saw Josefina enter the staircase. She saw him too. It was time for work, what was she doing there? Normally, everyone went down the elevator instead of the stairs. Some people went to the stairwells if they wanted to smoke. Mica came up with what Kiki said: Find her aplice! She grabbed Ana who was ready to leave. Ana turned around and saw that Mica had turned around to grab her phone and then put it on silent. "How thoughtful!" She hurried to put the cell phone on silent as well. Only then did the two of them head toward the staircase as if nothing had happened. There was a window over the stairwell door. The two made sure there was no noise inside before entering with light steps. They were listening intently and heard a muffled conversation. Ana wanted to go upstairs, but Mica pulled her back. Mica led Ana outside and entered the elevator. Chapter 55 : She Switched Between Cold And Hot Mode With Ease Chapter 55 : She Switched Between Cold And Hot Mode With Ease Chapter 55 : She switched between cold and hot mode with ease -Mica, what''s wrong? Mica pressed the button for the 10th floor. -She''s on the 9th floor, and we''re on the 8th. She''ll spot us as soon as she looks down. We''ll be much more hidden when we go to the 10th floor. -Good idea! It didn''t take long for the elevator to arrive. The 10th floor is the sales department and theyout waspletely different from the 8th floor. Once they entered, it was arge collective office area, but luckily the stairwell was right next to the elevator, so there was no need to go through this area and they didn''t attract anyone''s attention. The two climbed up to the tenth floor carefully. For they could now hear much more clearly. They descended a few steps and stopped against the wall. A man''s voice was heard: -Don''t be afraid! There is no way they can restore the surveince video. The voice sounded familiar to Ana, but she couldn''t remember who it was. -Kiki said he would keep chasing him. What should we do? It''s all your fault. -It''s my fault? Didn''t he tell me you''d be the director of the second department after squeezing Kiki out? Mica and Ana looked at each other. She tried to rece Kiki! -I didn''t think Mica could keep producing designs without a sketch! Josefina''s tone was full of very obvious jealousy. -It doesn''t matter. Didn''t you say the sketch has no signature? We may as well go ahead with the n. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Her words seemed especially confident. Ana tried to see who the man was, but she could only see Josefina. If she went any further, she feared they would be found.... -I''m still scared.... -Honey, don''t be scared. We will get married when you are manager of the second apartment.... Both Mica and Ana were in shock. They seemed to be kissing intimately... How embarrassing! They backed out carefully, turning directly towards the elevator. Ana scratched her hair in embarrassment and saw Mica fiddling with her phone. She peeked out and couldn''t help but smile: -You''re so smart you recorded the audio? Mica put the phone away and said anxiously: -Let''s get Kiki to catch them now! Ana agreed and whispered: -Could it be that Josefina is making love with that man? There is no surveince there... Mica couldn''t help blushing. When she got out of the elevator, I went straight into Kiki''s office. He described Kiki briefly, and she immediately got up to open the door, but when she saw Josefina, she hurried to close it again. The three of them went to the window farthest from the door to listen to the recording. When she recognized the man''s voice, Kiki felt surprise. -We''ll just see what else they want to do! -Do you know who this man is? -asked Mica. Kiki nodded but did not answer this question, instead she said: -You will find outter. They had to leave to continue with their work. As soon as it was time to leave work, Mica''s cell phone screen lit up that it had just gone silent. She hadn''t turned it back on until Ana noticed and reminded her.... There were eight missed calls, and they were all from Carlos! It was almost 5:30.... The phone was ringing again! Mica hurriedly picked it up and answered. A soft voice was heard: -I''ll wait for you at the ce where you got off this morning. There was no point in getting impatient. Mica, bit her lip, looked at the design and said: -I want to stay and work overtime, because the design is not ready? -Is it ufortable to use the studioptop? She froze, and asked: -Was that prepared especially for me? -Of course. She blushed slightly and hurried to click save. -I''ll be right down! -No hurry. Hanging up the phone, Mica hurried to gather her things. This time she sent the design to her mailbox before deleting it, and then set a password. After this, it was time to leave work. So everyone left one by one. When he came out of the office, he saw the car, parked where he had gotten out, with the double lights on, and Diego was standing. -Mr. Ocampo! And Diego opened the door to the back seat. Mica climbed in, and saw Carlos sitting concentrating with hisptop on the small table. Diego started the car and they drove off. Mica looked at Carlos and spoke in a soft voice: -I''m sorry.... Carlos looked over. It was strange that Mica did not avoid his gaze. -I didn''t answer the call because my phone was on silent. Carlos gave her a sincere licked look and asked: -Are you afraid that I''ll get angry? "Anyone would get angry in this situation, wouldn''t they?" -Sweetheart, you never need to say those two words to me. Hearing it, her face suddenly turned red. Diego continued driving... "I was acting nonchnt in thepany!" "He can switch between cold mode and hot mode with ease." When he reached Nyisrenda, he surprised Sofia! "It''s not even six o''clock yet!" "Why are they back so early?" The earliest she got home was a quarter past six! Sofia asked Diego with a re: -Didn''t you get off work at six? Diego also answered with a look: -If you want to retire earlier, who dares to resist! Sofia began to adore Mica. Carlos had changed for her! When Mica went upstairs to put on her house clothes and was about to go downstairs, Sofia had just finished preparing dinner. -She said, "Miss Noboa, before you go downstairs, you can call Carlos and Diego in the study on the way! -Okay! Mica turned around, remembering in her mind that it was the second time she was going to the studio to call him for dinner. After knocking on the door, Diego opened it. -Miss Noboa. -Dinner is ready! Mica saw that Carlos was also getting up and heading for the door. Mica looked at the ce where she had spent the day yesterday, and saw that theptop was still there? Suddenly, she remembered something and asked: -Carlos, did you save the drawing for me yesterday? Carlos also took a look at theptop and nodded. -You''re amazing! -Mica said in admiration. Without a sketch or design principles, she could even modify it so well. Her look pleased Carlos and, she took his hand to go down the stairs. And then she said to Diego: -You cane back after dinner! Diego paused. "Didn''t you ask me to help finish the work?" Looking at the notebook on the couch and then at the papers on the desk, Diego touched his nose.... "It seems my presence will influence them." Chapter 56 : YouRe In A Lot Of Pain, ArenT You? Let Me Blow Chapter 56 : You''Re In A Lot Of Pain, Aren''T You? Let Me Blow Chapter 56 : You''re in a lot of pain, aren''t you? Let me blow Carlos handed Mica a stool, and sat down across from her. He didn''t care so much anymore where he sat. Diego sat to Carlos'' right. He was secretly surprised that Carlos had seated Mica in the middle seat, when before he had always sat alone. -Miss Noboa, are you used to the new job? -asked Diego casually. -It''s fine... You can call me Mica. She felt embarrassed that he had treated her with respect because she was just an ordinary person. "My mother, I don''t dare! You''re already sitting in the middle seat, maybe one day I should call you ma''am..." -It''s better to call you Miss Noboa.... -You''re wee! The maids served all the dishes and left. Carlos gave Mica a piece of fish: -Eat! Mica looked at Carlos'' suddenly icy face and cast a questioning nce at Diego: -What''s wrong with him? Diego was afraid to speak and just ate.... "I dare not talk to you, since Carlos is jealous!" After eating, Diego was ready to leave. Carlos was not asking him to stay, which disappointed Diego. "He doesn''t need me anymore..." Mica looked at Diego''s back and asked Carlos: -Diego doesn''t seem to want to leave? Suddenly, Carlos grabbed her arm and headed upstairs. -Don''t look at him! -What''s wrong? -Aren''t you going to workte? -Yes! -Can I work in your studio? I promise not to disturb you. Seeing that he didn''t answer, Mica hurried back to her room to get the information and went into her study. She hadn''t realized that where she satst time, there was an additional small table that could be moved.... "Is this specially set up for me too?" Mica looked at Carlos doubtfully, who was already sitting in front of his desk, going through the documents, and felt moved. She put the notebook on the new desk and sat down on the sofa at the right height. "Ya! I''m starting to work." She was so full of ambition, but not long after, she fell over the desk.... "What''s wrong with me?" She hadpletely lost her temper. She kept looking at him... "How could there be such a handsome man, he''s so charming when he works! I''m sure many women loved him." Carlos took a deep breath and looked at her. His looks had greatly affected her productivity. His eyes were more attractive.... The eyes! "When did he ever look at me!" He hurried to sit up properly, asking preemptively: -Why are you looking at me! "How pretty she is!" Carlos answered in a low voice: -I didn''t look at you! -You did! -You''re the one who''s been looking at me, aren''t you? Her face flushed and she averted her gaze. -I''m not me! -You weren''t looking at me, how do you know I was looking at you? Mica didn''t know how to say anything. She was actually looking at him... "He''s so handsome that he affected my work! It''s his fault." Yesterday she spent the day in the studio drawing, but now that she was in the same ce with him, she couldn''t concentrate.... Carlos got up and walked towards her: -What''s your problem? Carlos leaned on the table and leaned slightly to look at hisputer. The smell of his body with a bit of mint fragrance seemed to have the effect of waking up the mind.... Mica stood up fiercely, and hit him directly on the chin.... Carlos backed him up and she reacted that her jaw was hurting him badly. She hurried to stroke his chin: -I''m sorry. It hurts a lot, doesn''t it? Let me blow on it. Then she stood on her tiptoes and blew gently on his chin..... Blow? Looking at her red lips, and the soft body in his arms, Carlos felt himself starting to get warm.... After a long time Mica realized how intimate the position was.... When she wanted to pull back, Carlos wrapped his arms around her, gently rubbing her head, and asked: -Does it hurt? Do you need to see a doctor? Mica blushed and shook her head: -No, it''s not that much of an exaggeration? Can I go to my room to work? -Why? -I don''t seem to be able to concentrate? Mica said and lowered her head in embarrassment. "Haha, you''re so honest." It seemed he wasn''t the only one affected. He let go of her, pressed her to sit on the couch and sat to the side, checking his design.Property ? N?velDrama.Org. -Where''s the sketch? Yesterday he had wanted to ask. -It was stolen... Mica gave him a puzzled look and told him briefly what had happened. Carlos frowned, picked up the folder and leafed through it.... Some timeter, he asked: -Without the sketch, do you still draw it? Mica nodded. -Then draw it right! Stop looking at me! "Is it that obvious?" Mica couldn''t help blushing. Carlos put down the client''s materials and returned to his position. Mica adjusted her state and began to draw in earnest. This time it was much better than before, and Mica gradually became seriously involved. Carlos also began to mind his own business. When he felt that it was almost time, he looked at Mica, but she had already fallen asleep at the table.... Chapter 57 : DonT Think Too Much About Me When IM Away Chapter 57 : Don''T Think Too Much About Me When I''M Away Chapter 57 : Don''t think too much about me when I''m away Carlos walked over to check that she was making good progress. He clicked save for her, before carrying her back to her room. She was sleeping so soundly that she didn''t feel everything. He sat beside her and gently stroked her forehead and eyes, as well as those tempting lips. The image of her blowing him on the chin was so beautiful..... "When will you fall in love with me?" Carlos tenderly kissed his lips.... When Mica woke up the next day, she still felt she wasn''t sleeping alone! But when she opened her eyes, she was indeed the only one in the room! "I''ve probably gone crazy.... " Mica rubbed her head and went to take a shower. When she got dressed and went downstairs, she saw Carlos as usual, reading the newspaper with a serious look on his face and drinking coffee. When I thought he was supposed to take her to her roomst night, she felt a little shy. By the way, her schedule was super regr and the quality of sleep was so unmatched that she rarely dreamed. And thest dream was a nightmare. It was Carlos who rescued her! -Good morning, Miss Noboa! It''s time for breakfast," Sofia greeted her with a smile. She had seen Carlos leave Mica''s room when it was still dawn. "Looks like something good ising..." Mica greeted her as well and sat down in her seat. After breakfast, Mica and Carlos got into the car. Discovering that the driver was a new one, she asked: -Where is Diego? Carlos closed the folder and looked at Mica with a slight frown: -Do you miss him? His look seemed to say: -Dare you dare say yes? -Of course not! I''m casually asking," Mica answered immediately. Only then Carlos went back to reading the folder. "What happened to him? It seems that since the night before, when I talked about Diego, he acted strangely? " Mica''s heart beat fiercely faster, staring at Carlos in disbelief. The words in her head came out: -Are you jealous? Carlos also froze for a moment, and then he knew. "I don''t want her to get close to any man and even mention the name." It turned out that her possessiveness was already strong to that point. Carlos looked at her and nodded: -Yes, I am jealous. It was so direct, which in turn made Mica pause. After a long moment, he said: -You don''t follow the usual rules! -So what should I say? -You should deny it! -Why? It''s a truth. Mica was suddenly speechless. Carlos put down the folder and, suddenly, leaned towards her.... Mica was startled and pressed against the corner.... "What do you want to do... There''s still a driver in the car.... " Carlos stopped a few inches away from her. -You''re leaning too close..... Mica''s hand rested on his chest to keep him from leaning closer. "Your chest felt strong!" "What am I thinking about.... " Mica''s face couldn''t help but turn red. Carlos looked at her vivid expression, enjoying it very much, and spoke after a long while: -I''m going on a business trip, probably for a week. -Okay... Mica froze, "how long .... " Was he informing her? -Don''t think too much about me when I''m away. It was a trip he had to make, otherwise he wouldn''t want to be separated from her for so long. Mica finally looked at him: -I know! Carlos looked at her and answered: -Good. Call me if you need anything, and the driver will apany you to work every day. As he spoke, he gently touched her hair. -Well... Mica''s heart was pounding and the scent of his body made her a little trance-like.... Carlos looked into her somewhat dazed eyes, and came a little closer.... The car had been stopped for a long time. The driver just looked straight ahead. "I don''t see anything... " Their lips were about to meet when Mica realized that the car had stopped near thepany. She made an effort and pushed it away. A feeling of disgust arose in her heart.... Was she expected to kiss him? Mica became nervous and did not know what to say. She simply turned around and got out of the car. -I''m leaving, take good care of yourself. Carlos looked at her back, and ordered the driver to leave. *** After two days of effort, Mica finished the design on time. When it was delivered to Kiki, she was relieved and immediately informed Ivanna to confirm the design. But Ivanna said she was not avable and asked her to start making it ording to the design. Kiki confirmed with her many times, but she was adamant that she would note. She had no choice but to turn the design over to the engineering department and started work. During this period, Carlos never contacted her, and neither did she. When she thought of the image of her separation from him, Mica blushed and did not dare to This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. contact him.... Luckily, Kiki gave her other design material, so she was too busy to think about it. Ivanna''s final product waspleted on the fourth day. At the same time it was delivered, Ivanna and Adriana came together. Since she was a popr model, she couldn''t help but be surrounded. Thest time at the hotel, it was Ivanna who made a fool of herself instead of Adriana. So some people from the first and third apartments, and even from downstairs, came to see her. Adriana smiled and greeted everyone, enjoying herself very much. Ivanna felt envious and jealous, but at the same time consoled herself that soon, she too would be just like her? No, she was even more popr than she was! At that moment they were still in the lobby, which was an area shared by the tes departments, serving as the usual ce for meetings and more. Kiki came out and said: -Ivanna, go ahead. The engineering department has sent the finished product. However, Ivanna responded loudly: -No Need - I''m here to deal with the breach of contract! Chapter 58 : They Work Together To Cheat Customers! Chapter 58 : They Work Together To Cheat Customers! Chapter 58 : They work together to cheat customers! What? A breach of contract? Everyone looked at Ivanna in astonishment. Mica and Ana, who were inside the office, also heard the sound and came in. -Ivanna, what do you mean? asked KiKi with a frown. -It means what you heard! -Why? Ivanna gave Mica a stern look and spoke. -How could I like a ne designed by a rookie who just joined thepany? How could something designed by that kind of person be excellent. -Hey, what do you mean, can you speak properly! Ana was immediately offended when she saw Ivanna deliberately pointing at Mica. -Ivanna, it''s true that Mica is a neer, but you''ve seen the designs before? Before KiKi could finish her sentence, Adriana interrupted her. -KiKi, wait a second, I remember that Ivanna only came to see the sketchesst time. KiKi and Mica looked at each other and instantly understood that they had fallen into her trap. -You knew very well that the sketches had been stolen and we showed you the designs on our -Yes, everyone knew! -You only left when you were satisfied! Everyone, except Josefina, rushed to exin. Only then did the rest of the department react. "It turned out that the order that had been returned countless times belonged to this woman..." Ivanna said smugly: -That''s just a design that hasn''t beenpleted yet... technically, it''s just a sketch, right? The colleagues who had just spoken fell silent. "Wasn''t Ivanna not supposed to know, who had told her?" Then they all looked at Josefina in unison. Josefina looked like nothing was wrong and continued to stare at her phone screen. KiKi gritted her teeth in anger. She had already thought about this, and she had already thought about how to exin it to Ivanna after she had done the design. When Ivanna hade, she had seriously said to follow the design. KiKi was convinced that Ivanna would be happy with Mica''s work. She thought Ivanna must really like the ne at the time, since she didn''t choose any ws, just so she wouldn''t have to exin further.... "I''ve been so gullible that I''ve been caught on this one!" Adriana approached KiKi and asked incredulously. -KiKi, what''s going on, don''t you need Ivanna''s signature before you start doing the design? -I didn''t even sign it, so I said I was here to take care of the breach of contract! I''m not paying for a ne you made without my approval," Ivanna said loud and clear. -What about KiKi? -Yes, don''t you know your ownpany''s processes? -It''s thepany''s responsibility to do it without the customer''s consideration! -My God, that''s a lot of money for thepany! -Ourpany will have to pay 10 times the amount of the breach of contract! ... The other colleagues could not help but mutter. -Ivanna, when KiKi called you and informed you toe and sign the contract, you made it very clear that it would be done ording to the design! I was there and heard you clearly. Mica stepped forward and said coolly. The colleagues nodded in understanding. -So that''s what happened! -Yes, I knew KiKi shouldn''t have taken matters into her own hands! -There are clients who won''te forward to sign after seeing the photos, and it''s okay if the client agrees! Ivanna, however, was unfazed and snorted. -Is there such a thing, howe I don''t know about it? KiKi frowned and pulled out her phone, disying the call log for all to see. The audience nodded. Not only had they called, the calls had been quite long! Adriana nudges Ivanna. -Ivanna, what''s going on? You can''t wrongly use her. -Well, it was just a phone call to me, does that prove I agreed? -Ivanna said and looked at Mica sarcastically, "Why didn''t you make a recording then, aren''t you good at recording? Mica looked at Ivanna with exasperation, a look that actually made Ivanna flinch unconsciously. -It''s because you broke her phone! We haven''t even asked you to pay for her phone yet," Ana replied. Most of the people present were colleagues who had eaten together that night and had seen everything that had happened that night. Hearing what Ana said, they all chuckled under their breath,ughing and at the same time worrying about Mica. -You! Ivanna was so angry that she wanted to go and p Ana, but was stopped by Adriana. -Well, we''re here to deal with the breach of contract, so let''s leave out the irrelevant stuff. -It''s just a broken phone, doesn''t she have a rich boyfriend? Tell her to buy a new one! That guy is being mean and doesn''t want you to buy it?! Ivanna''sment didn''t sit well with the other ssmates, because they had all received a gift from Mica''s boyfriend! Everyone couldn''t help but say. -How can you talk like that? -If her phone is broken, it''s your fault if you break it! Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. -Mica''s boyfriend is very generous, haven''t you seen it with your own eyes? -I think you''re just jealous that Mica is prettier than you and has a handsome and rich boyfriend! "Oh, who said thetter?" Ana tapped the guy on the shoulder and said. -Jeez, why do you have to tell the truth when you ask? This elicitedughter from the audience. Ivanna was shaking with rage and Adriana couldn''t help but clench her fists..... The person approaching the elevator heard someone approaching from behind, turned around, saw the personing out of the elevator and hurried to say. -Mrs. Nunez ising! The most senior figure in the Nubcancion, the Miss of the Nunez family, Natalia Nunez, wasing from the elevator. She was dressed in a very elegant white professional suit and exuded the bearing of a leader. Natalia looked around and noticed that there were people from all three offices gathered together, and in fact from other departments. -Mrs. Nunez! Some from the other departments greet each other hurriedly and get back to work. -What''s going on? -Natalia looked at KiKi. KiKi briefly told her what happened, and before she could finish, Ivanna beat her to it, saying. -Natalia, the attitude of your staff is really bad! And they lie! I haven''t even seen the ns! They showed me sketches that hadn''t been made. -They work together to cheat the customer! It''s terrible. Natalia looked at KiKi, she couldn''t believe KiKi would make such a low mistake. -Mrs. Nunez, I''m sorry, it''s my fault," said Mica. -The sketches were stolen, so I showed Ms. German the designs I hadn''t done yet. "The sketches were stolen?" Natalia Nunez frowned. "This was happening in-house?" Chapter 59 : Let Micaela Take The Blame! Chapter 59 : Let Mica Take The me! Chapter 59 : Let Mica take the me! Everyone couldn''t help but feel considerable admiration for Mica''s actions and rushed out to exin. -Yes, the sketches were stolen and we all knew it. -Good thing Mica did the design ahead of time, the day Miss German aggressively demanded the money back! -Yes, yes, we were all there to see it! Natalia looked at Ivanna and asked. -Ivanna, right? "Called so affectionately, so they must be quite close in private, so it must not be a serious mess, right?" The crowd thought. -Ivanna saw the sketches, but her employee did them without her approval or confirmation! If you don''t believe me, ask her to produce the contract, but Ivanna didn''t sign it! Adriana spoke slowly and artictely. -Sister Natalia, we are close and I don''t want to embarrass you. But the ne I prepared for my debut, and KiKi arranged for a rookie to design it for me! How am I going to look at something designed by that inexperienced person. -What do you mean? Natalia asked. Ivanna raised her chin. -I want yourpany to pay for the breach of contract! Adriana got carried away too and said as expected. -Ivanna, don''t be so insensitive, after all, Miss Nunez is your good friend and she didn''t know it, we shouldn''t burden her with this loss. Adriana was very good at making amends and at the same time she was also a good friend of Miss Nunez. KiKi looked at Adriana, smiled coldly and asked. -And who do you think should take the me? -It''s going to be Mica who takes the me! said Ivanna, and pointed her finger at Mica. -And, you''re going to fire that follower she has with her! Ivanna said, looking harshly at Ana, who spoke to her with special harshness every time she saw her for a long time. Mica''s heart lifted slightly, and her frown never ceased. Ana also looked irritably at Ivanna, taking her job for granted! She didn''t dare say anything because Miss Nunez was here. Natalia, however, didn''t even look at Adriana, pushed Ivanna''s hand so she wouldn''t point at Mica and asked. -Did you look at Mica''s sketches and are you happy with them? Did you point out the things you were not happy with? Ivanna looked at Adriana and said. -I looked at it at the time and it was fine. -So you were satisfied with the sketches? Mica was relieved to hear Miss Nunez ask this question, which meant that, as KiKi had said, she would not defend Ivanna, so there was still a chance that things would work out. -I... but... I haven''t had the design confirmed! Ivanna was adamant on this point. -Well, Ivanna, as you said, we are on good terms, so let''s not talk about breach of contract first, the engineering department has done the finished product, take a look at it, and if you are not satisfied, we will discuss it. Natalia said reasonably. -Yes, that would be best! -If they see the finished product and like it very much, then everyone will be happy. -I said I would be fine with the sketches, so I should be even more fine with the finished product! Ivanna had nothing to say and Adriana told her with her eyes that it was fine, she just kept insisting that she didn''t want it afterwards! KiKi took out the ne, opened the box and the beautiful and unique ne, was presented to the public. The whole department gathered to take a look at the design of this Mica.... Mica looked at the crowd and exined. -The chain is white gold and the pendant has a freshwater pearl from the Persian Gulf in the center, surrounded by fine blue diamonds, each with 6 facets, as Miss Aleman''s lucky number is 6 when she entered the entertainment industry. The ne bears the name. Natalia also looked at the pendant and was a bit engrossed, it was really pretty and chic, with the pearls and the blue diamonds reflecting each other beautifully.... Adriana was also fascinated, but she immediately thought about the goal of the trip, which was to get Mica out of Nubcancion! Property ? N?velDrama.Org. She nudged Ivanna, who was fascinated.... After a few nudges, Ivanna looked at Maku Yurou. Of course she knew what Adriana was referring to, but she really liked this ne.... Only then did thepanions gathered around here out of their astonishment and, suppressing the fear of shouting, discussed. -Wow, it''s so beautiful. -It''s so cool and elegant! -The design is really perfect! -Mica, the whole design department is going to be so impressed with you! -Oh my God, I''m so excited to see it, I want to take it home! ... -Ivanna, look, do you still have to return this ne? The finished product is one of a kind, it will be lucky! To enter the entertainment industry, you can''t rely only on your beauty and intelligence, you also need a fortune, the fortune of meeting a good friend, the fortune of being loved by the public! Natalia looked at Mica appreciatively before speaking to Ivanna. -Ahem! Ivanna cleared her throat and looked at Adriana doubtfully? Adriana whispered in her ear, in a voice that only she could hear, questioning Ivanna -Have you forgotten the humiliation that Mica did to you? The time at the bar? The time at the Oasis Hotel? Ivanna looked at Natalia again. -Yes! I want to get out! You didn''t do what you were hired to do and I want the designer, Mica, to take full responsibility. The room was in shock. Ivanna had not finished her sentence. -I also want her fired from herpany! And pay for the breach of contract. The crowd erupted. -What the hell, how can you not be satisfied with such a perfect design? -Is there something wrong with her eyes? -Kiki just said she''s been contacted to confirm, but she hasn''t shown up! -Yeah, I thought she agreed to make it ording to the design herself! ... Mica knew she was wrong this time. Because without Ivanna''s signature, she could bite the bullet and say she hadn''t agreed to go through with the process! As for the im that a phone call was made, theck of a recording is not at all convincing. Even if Natalia had intended not to help Ivanna, there was nothing she could do about it. Mica looked apologetically at KiKi and Natalia. I''m afraid I''m going to get thepany in trouble with my own first order.... -Miss Aleman is insisting on terminating the contract, isn''t she? -asked Natalia. A moment ago it had been Ivanna, but now it was Miss German. The colleagues looked at me and I looked at you, concluding. -Yes! Ivanna had a moment of weakness to look away and not look at the ne. -Miss German, did you read the contract carefully when it was sent to you? KiKi suddenly asked in a cold voice. -What? Ivanna and Adriana looked at each other, not knowing what KiKi meant by that. Nataliaughed, looked at Ivanna and asked rhetorically. -Do you think it''s that easy to get 10 times the default amount? Chapter 60 : Things Are Different Now Chapter 60 : Things Are Different Now Chapter 60 : Things are different now Natalia looked at Adriana and finally dropped her eyes on Ivanna: -Because you are German family, that''s why I didn''t follow the original process and agreed to your order over the phone just by asking for a deposit and printing a contract. -Yes, it''s our fault that we didn''t ask you to confirm your signature, but this is all based on the premise that you''ve already signed the contract. KiKi smiles and ces a document on the table. Ivanna looked puzzled, but Adriana noticed. She quickly opened that document to check thest page. At the bottom of that page, where the A party was, it was nk! "How can this be?" KiKi, who knew well the Aleman family''s rtionship with the Nunez family, didn''t think too much of the fact that Ivanna had not yete up with the contract, for Natalia''s sake, and arranged for the designer to start working on her design. When Ivanna had time, she only signed her part of the contract, while thepany''s signature was put on hold because Ivanna had rejected several designs in a row. ... Later, at a dinner with Ivanna, KiKi realized that the order was not that simple, so she deliberately did not ask Natalia to seal the contract. Mica noticed. "No wonder that on the night of the dinner, KiKi said she wouldn''t let thepany lose money!" Some of her colleagues came over to take a look and noticed! -It''s just a piece of paper! -Yes, without Ms. Nunez''s signature and stamp, the contract has no validity. -This Miss Aleman is deliberately looking for trouble! -We offered her our services and she treats us like freebor! -So it seems we are not in breach of contract at all! -Yes, that contract is not yet in force! There was a lot of chatter between the colleagues. Ivanna finally reacted with a face full of atmosphere. -Ms. German, I really didn''t think that because I didn''t sign on time, I would let this contract be a wet paper. KiKi spoke in a cold voice. -It doesn''t matter if you don''t want the design, I''m sure I''ll make it sell for more than the 390, 000 of the contract if I publish the work," said Natalia firmly. Mica feltpletely relieved. At the same time, she admired Natalia and KiKi in her heart. "It''s good that she didn''t cause any damage to thepany. No wonder they weren''t anxious, they had a n in ce." Ana was also relieved. "Looks like I kept my job." -You! This is consumer deception on your part and I''m going to tell my friends that you signed a bogus contract? Natalia didn''t wait for him to finish before asking rhetorically. -As far as I know, not only did you customize your jewelry in our Nubcantion, otherpanies also went, only, the designs were rejected by you, could it be that all Tdia''s designers did not design a ne to your taste? Ivanna kept silent. In fact, after seeing so many designs, this was the only one she was happy with.... -If you''re not satisfied with this perfect design, I guess no designer in all of Tdia will ept your order either! KiKi''s words startled Ivanna and Adriana. With the Nunez Group''s position in Tdia, and Natalia''s strength in the custom jewelry industry, it was entirely possible that Ivanna would never find a designer for her jewelry again. From now on, Ivanna will be cklisted from the custom jewelry scene. It would be an embarrassment to thedies of the upper ss! -Nubcancion has never signed a fake contract! -That''s right, and our designs have a 100% positive response rate! -And the repeat rate is 100%! -And when the timees, will your good friends trust us, apany with an excellent reputation, or will they trust you, Miss Aleman, for whom no designer is willing to work? Property ? N?velDrama.Org. ... The colleagues did not hesitate to stand up for thepany. Satisfied with the expressions on Ivanna''s and Adriana''s faces, Natalia said indifferently. -As for Mica, she''s a very talented designer and there''s no way I''m going to fire her. Natalia''s words convinced the audience, because with such perfect work in front of them, everyone was impressed! They all looked at Mica, who smiled modestly. -Thank you Miss Nunez for your approval. Adriana gritted her teeth, she hadn''t expected things toe to this! At this point, not only could she not kick Mica out of Nubcancion, but she had to change tactics to alleviate the situation now. -Ivanna, we''re all good friends, there''s no need to let things get to that awkward point, this ne will definitely look good on you..... Ivanna looked at Adriana with surprise ... "You used to encourage me not to buy the ne, and now you mean you want me to buy it?" But the idea of wearing it on the runway made Ivanna very happy. And if she were cklisted from the jewelry industry, she''d never be able to hold her head up in front of the high societydies again. "I''ll have plenty of opportunities to get in trouble with Mica. But if this ne is around another woman''s neck, I''m going to be very angry!" Ivanna looked at the ne again, she liked it very much, but now she had no choice but to buy it? Ivanna said as naturally as possible. -I looked at the ne and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. Besides, Natalia and I have been friends for years, so I ept it -After saying this, she gave Mica a stern look. Nataliaughed, her eyes full of contempt. -You want to buy it, but I can''t do anything to sell it to you! "What?" Ivanna''s heart fluttered. -You know, since the contract is invalid, the design is not Nubcancion''s, but Mica''s! Mica was also surprised for a moment and looked confused at KiKi who just smiled at her and reassured her with her gaze. -But you just said that you are going to publish the work..... Ivanna thought about what Natalia had just said. "I''ve already decided to buy the ne, are you going to sell it to someone else?" -I''ll have to go through Mica if I want to publish the piece too! The audience nodded. -That''s it! Since it''s not part of thepany''s contract, it''s Mica''s personal work! -Yes, if you want to buy the piece, you have to have the designer willing to sell it to you. ... -Then why don''t we sign the contract right now?! -said Ivanna with exasperation. Natalia grimaced and looked at Mica. Mica was quite smart and reacted immediately, looking at Ivanna and saying slowly. -Of course you can sign the contract, but the situation is different now. Now this ne, I want to increase the price! Chapter 61 : That Design Is Mine! Chapter 61 : That Design Is Mine! Chapter 61 : That design is mine! The whole department looked at Mica in amazement and then at Natalia, and there was a twinkle in their eyes: Ms. Nunez is amazing. The staff was very impressed with Natalia. Business is business, and she is thedy of the Nunez Group! She has a knack for making money! -How much is the raise? The money is fine, I have a lot of money in the family! Ivanna gave Mica an expressionless and unassable look, and said Adriana''s teeth were gnashing..... -Another 100, 000! Natalia''s words provoked a snort on the floor. Natalia looked at Mica and continued. -The 100. 000 goes directly to Mica for all her work. Wow... The colleagues erupted. -That''s way more than our share! This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. -Mica is going to be rich, I''m so jealous! -This ne is definitely worth $490, 000! Yes! It''s a one-of-a-kind ne. ... Ivanna was naturally shocked and furious, but since she had just bragged about it, there was no way she was backing down at that point! What hurt her the most was not even the money, but the fact that she had failed to find trouble and had to give Mica 100. 000! But she knew very well that if she didn''t buy it, the ne would soon belong to someone else and she would be theughing stock of Tdia. Ivanna gritted her teeth and was about to say "I''ll buy it".... -Hold on! Everyone looked at the person who had spoken, it was the director of department 1, Alonso Berganza. He was wearing sses and a white shirt, which gave him a sober and polite look. -Mr. Berganza, what can I do for you? -asked Natalia. Alonso Berganza looked at Mica and said slowly. -That design is mine! KiKi''s movements stopped and she looked at Alonso Berganza, as did Mica. The man''s voice, it sounded familiar! However, Ana suddenly grabs Mica''s hand and whispers in her ear. -I remember! The man who spoke to Josefina on the stairsst time, it was him! Mica looked at the man in surprise. She still had an impression of this man. She had met him in the elevator on her first day at work. Later, during thepany dinner, this man had said something suggestive to her, which she had subtly rejected. Later, when the two met in the office, Mica also just ignored him. Mica is very good at rejecting the opposite sex and not giving them the slightest hope. Since they were not in the same office and had not crossed paths, Mica paid no attention to who it was. She didn''t know that he was actually the director of Department 1. Mica looked at KiKi, who nodded without saying anything. -Mica copied my work! Alonso Berganza took the floor to the surprise of the audience. -Wow, no wonder Mica has such a good design for a neer! -Yes, Mr. Berganza has won numerous awards and his reputation is a little worse than KiKi''s! -But he also showed his design to Mr. German, and he didn''t overlook it? Mica wasn''t nervous or scared at all, but she frowned slightly at the thought. Is he trying to get back at me because Ipletely ignored him? Sensitive to another burning nce, Mica looked and it was Josephine! Ana eximed: -Mr. Berganza, don''t be ridiculous, we both saw Mica create this y, okay? -Yes, we all know it! Several colleagues echoed. However, Josefina took the floor. -I told you when I first saw her design that it was a bit simr to Sister Berganza''s! No sooner had she said this than Alonso Berganza brought out his own design. Everyone gathered around him and looked at it closely. The design looked a little like the final product, but it was only a sketch! -Mr. Berganza, I know this one, and I showed it to Miss German, who didn''t like it and passed on it," said KiKi with a smile. said KiKi with a smile. The colleagues were also indifferent when they said. -Mr. Berganza, that''s not right! -You can''t be jealous when you see that 100, 000! -That doesn''t make it a fake! ... Alonso grimaced. -It''s true that the design was denied, but I was still optimizing it, only then I took on other design requests and it was put on hold. Look, guys, here''s my drawing. And with that he pulled out another piece of paper, a finished sketch, identical to the one in the box, the finished product! In the corner of the nk paper was his signature and the date. Now the others gasped. "How can this be?" Adriana and Ivanna burst outughing. "Ha ha, the gods are helping me!" -I''ve always wondered how a neer could be so good, but she copied someone else''s work! The $100. 000 raise should go to Mr. Berganza, here, pay up! Ivanna was as proud as if she had drawn the design. Mica bit her lip. "This Mr. Berganza, what bad luck..." -This is clearly the same design that Mica had stolen! Ana immediately shouted. -What are you talking about, the date is clearly written on it, it was drawn before Mica took this order! shouted Josefina. -Stop this nonsense, the date could have been rewritten! Ana peeked straight out. -You''re making strong statements! We all know we write our design sketches, so how can we not write them if they are hers! -said Josefina with a look of circumstance. -Miss Nunez, this is the best proof! Alonso Berganza handed the drawing to Natalia and gave Mica a smug look. Natalia looked at the drawing and for a moment she was also a little suspicious, Alonso Berganza''s strength did know her, and she could not help looking at Mica with aplicated look.... Mica also looked at Natalia, her eyes full of determination. The clean, clear look in her eyes made Natalia''s doubts vanish.... Mica''s eyes were too clean to look like someone who would do something like that. -KiKi, as her manager, condone her behavior, she really doesn''t deserve to be the manager of our 2 sections! Josefina wasn''t putting KiKi in her crosshairs at this point either. The audience stopped talking, although I didn''t think Mica had just copied. -Is that so? Don''t I deserve it? Then tell me instead, what should be done about it? KiKi spoke coldly. Her cold attitude made Josephine''s heart tighten. "The n was absolutely foolproof, KiKiKi must be forcing herposure! -KiKi -Naturally, the two of them are leaving thepany! Mica had noticed everything and quietly asked in return. -And so, you''reing to be the manager of department 2? Chapter 62 : I Was Too Shy Chapter 62 : I Was Too Shy Chapter 62 : I was too shy Ana remembered this was also from the conversation in the stairwell that day! Josephine''s face flushed. -In terms of qualifications, in terms of strength, naturally I''m the most suitable! If KiKi hadn''t parachuted in, I would have been the head of department 2. I would not have been team leader in department 2 for two years! A chorus ofughter rang out from the floor. -Yoo-hoo, I''ve seen a lot today! -Yeah, the height of self-rmendation! -Does he think we don''t exist? -Who gave you the confidence? ... -Josephine, when you took my sketch you gave it to Mr. Berganza in the first part, didn''t you? Mica, without questioning, but affirming, continued knowingly. -What is your rtion to Mr. Berganza, that he would allow you to do this for him? -We are not rted! -Alonso suddenly eximed. Josefina stopped violently, looked at Alonso Berganza, thought about what he had said and resisted Property ? N?velDrama.Org. the impulse to speak. -Josefina and Mr. Berganza? It can''t be! -Yes, they don''t usually cross paths either. -Well, they rarelymunicate, Mica, you may have misunderstood. -Mr. Berganza and Josefina, they seem like two people who can''t be rted in any way. ... Alonso Berganza is not a top-notch hottie, but his friendly demeanor is still very popr among women. And he''s still a minor name in the design world. Josefina, meanwhile, is a long-time Nubcancion employee and has some noteworthy designs, but she''s not very pretty and doesn''t stand out in anything. And Alonso Berganza, who has always been very demanding, would not like Josefina! That''s what his colleagues thought. Satisfied with what everyone had said, Alonso Berganza turned to Mica and said. -Mica, you stole my designs and are trying to frame me? Josefina and I are mere colleagues, why would I steal your designs from me for no reason? "You will continue to suffocate until you present evidence." Mica looked at Josefina and for a moment felt a little aggrieved by her. She stepped in front of Alonso, pulled out her phone and yed the recording. -Don''t be afraid, there''s no way they can restore the surveince video! -KiKi said she would keep chasing him, what to do, it''s your fault! -me me? Who said in the first ce that she would be the head of department 2 if she drove KiKi away? -Me... but it urred to me that Mica could still make designs even without sketches. -Okay, didn''t you say that sketch didn''t have a signature? We can still go on with the original n. -I''m still scared... -Honey, don''t be afraid, it''s ok, we''ll get married when you''re the manager of department 2... ... The whole room erupted. -Fuck, what did I hear? -This content is so powerful! -So they had nned this! ... -Ana and I were upstairs while you were talking in the stairwell! -You think it''s foolproof because there''s no surveince? You don''t want people to know if you don''t do it -Mica looked at Alonso and Josefina and spoke calmly. KiKi also continued. -The only reason I didn''t pursue this at the time was because after listening to this recording I was sure you would end up doing something. Josefina was already trembling with fear..... "How can it be, how can it be recorded?" She leaned towards Alonso and tried to ask him what to do, but Alonso Berganza gestured her not to. -Miss Mica, this recording doesn''t say anything clear, so it doesn''t prove anything. It''s clear that you made this recording deliberately to frame me! And this recording doesn''t prove that this sketch is yours either. The crowd stopped. The recording didn''t exin what had happened, and although it sounded like Alonso and Josefina, it didn''t seem convincing enough without professional verification. Mica said angrily: -I''m sorry I didn''t call someone to expose you on the staircase right away! Ana nodded vigorously. -I was too shy! Because they were kissing in the stairwell and we were afraid they would make a scene, so we left in a hurry. Another gasp from the audience. "It''s a daring act!" Mica was a little anxious. "What to do, what else can we do to try..." Natalia was about to speak when a man''s voice came. -Who among you is Miss Mica? The crowd turned and looked at the man with a slender figure, aputer bag in his hand and a ck suit. Mica took two steps forward and said suspiciously. -I''m doing it. The man sized Mica up carefully. "Mr. Aguayo has such a pretty girlfriend, he doesn''t seem to like real women! But doesn''t Mr. Aguayo think I''m busy enough? Do I have to do such a small thing myself?" Then he looked at Alonso Berganza and asked. -You are Mr. Berganza, aren''t you? Although he did not know who the man was, Alonso nodded. The man looked at Josefina again; -This is Josefina, right? Josefina nodded in horror, sensing that something bad was going to happen.... The man nods and the wordse out like a depth charge. -Mr. Berganza, Miss Josefina, I am thewyer representing Miss Mica, your actions are suspected of theft and trespassing and we will press charges against you! Alonso and Josefina looked incredulous, and the audience was amazed! That said. The man iming to be awyer took a seat at the conference table and turned on his -Mr. Aguayo asked me to restore the surveince video! "Who is Mr. Aguayo?" The bewildered crowd immediately gathered in front of theputer. Only Mica immediately thought that the video he was referring to was the one where the sketch had been stolen. "But how did Carlos do it? He just mentioned it to her..." Mica was a little surprised. "He''s been gone for almost a week and he''s still thinking about my design?" Soon a video screen appeared on theputer screen. Josefina''s heart was pounding out of her chest. "What''s wrong, what video, didn''t it say it was corrupted and impossible to restore?" She looked at Alonso, wanting to ask for rification and being in the middle of so many people here and their undisclosed rtionship.... -Oh, God, isn''t that Josefina? -eximed one of the men. Josefina looked incredulously at the screen.... It was actually her in the photo, deliberately dressed and wearing a hat, leafing through folders on Mica''s desk. Then, taking a folder and leaving.... How nice it would have been if she had walked away with her head down, but she was unconsciously looking at the camera and was caught t-footed. The image was framed here. Even if she didn''t look up, her figure was instantly recognizable to everyone. Josefina can''t defend herself this time.... Chapter 63 : Get Out Of Nubcancion Chapter 63 : Get Out Of Nubcancion Chapter 63 : Get out of Nubcancion The audience was in disbelief, staring at Josephine as if she were a monster they had never seen before. KiKi grimaced, looked at Josephine and asked. -So, it was indeed you who gave Mica''s design to Alonso, do you have anything else to exin? And the colleagues could not help but murmur. -My God, it''s really Josefina! -They''re really a couple, aren''t they? That''s why he stole her design. -Yes, there''s talk of marriage on that recording! -I can''t believe they hide it so well. Alonso Berganza is still dying. "I nned it so well, how could I lose everything?" -The surveince only proves that Josefina took Mica''s folder, but it doesn''t prove that that design is mine! This design is mine. In fact, the image of Josefina opening the folder, obscured by her body, does not show the design! This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ... Josefina''s body trembles slightly as she stares at Alonso.... She has been in a rtionship with Alonso Berganza for two years. Just because Alonso had said that they could not reveal their rtionship because they worked in the samepany, they had pretended to be strangers. "But he... what did he say, is he leaving me behind?" Josefina''s lips twitched a couple of times, but no words came out..... Mica suddenly had a sh of light and remembered something. She picked up the design and used a pencil to scribble lightly in one of the nk areas of the design.... Everyone got the idea. This is what had been written earlier on a piece of paper over the design drawing, and by scribbling like this, you would see the traces of what had been written..... It didn''t take long for a row of white marks to appear at the top: Mica 622xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx68 The string on the back was a bank card ount number. -I admittedly did not put my name on the sketch, but coincidentally the finance department asked me to register my bank card that day, so I put the form on top of the design and filled it in.... Now, the truth came out in full! If this wasn''t Mica''s design, there was no way it would have Mica''s handwriting on it, along with the bank card details. -Alonso, Josefina, you''re fired! Leave Nubcancion immediately! -said Natalia angrily, and then looked at Mica with apologies in her eyes, "Mica, I apologize for the suspicion I just had and for not trusting you! Mica shook her head. -It''s not your fault! A colleague suddenly eximed to the man in front of theputer. -Hey, isn''t that the famouswyer Ivan Morillo? The crowd came closer and spoke with surprise. -Wow, really, it''s thewyer who has never won awsuit again! -Mr. Morillo, he''s so handsome! -You are thewyer I admire the most, can I have your autograph? ... There was a lot of chatter among his colleagues and Ivan nodded solemnly with everyone. Picking up hisputer, he approached Alonso and said coldly. -Mr. Berganza, wait for the subpoena! And, Miss Josefina, please turn yourself in at the police station. Josefina stopped there, her legs were trembling and her head was nk.... -Yes! Take Alonso to court. A designer who worked under Alonso''s orders suddenly stepped forward. -He also took the liberty of using my design and falsely iming it was his. It was obviously mine, but he just changed the details and said it was his. -And mine, the one that won second prize in the Tdia Jewelry Design Contestst time, that prototype was my design! -Yes, my design too, it always ends up being yours after messing with it in various ways! Several of the people in Department 1 who had long held grudges pointed excitedly. Alonso red at them. -His designs? Without my name, without my signature, those designs are worthless. -How dare you be so arrogant as to use our designs as a matter of course! ... Watching him argue with the designers below her, Natalia felt very disappointed. So that''s what Alonso Berganza was like! -So a repeat offender of giarism! Everyone is wee toe to myw firm to provide evidence of his guilt. Ivan finished nodding to Mica and walked away with hisptop. Mica looked away and lifted her chin slightly to Ivanna, who had seen quite a show. -Are you going to pay? Her confident and slightly condescending look, which actually resembled that of an elegant white swan, made Ivanna stutter a little momentarily. -Of course! Anna hurried to prepare a new contract, the people involved signed, sealed, swiped their cards, handed the jewelry box to Ivanna and the deal was done! Ivanna took the jewelry box and opened it to look at the ne. "Ah, I like it very much..." Josefina and Alonso''s eyes fixed on Meca with hatred.... -By the way! Suddenly, Mica took out her phone again and waved it in front of Ivanna saying. -I bought my new phone, I heard it''s worth a little over a hundred thousand, from my boyfriend who you said was cheap, how much exactly? -One hundred and sixty thousand! I went specifically to check the price. The man who had talked to Mica earlier about the phone said loudly. -This one is custom made, you only get one in this color in the whole world! It''s the highest configuration. Mica repressed her surprise and the violent beating of her heart at the word "boyfriend" and said without changing her face. -Oh, well, I don''t know. I don''t want you to pay for the one you broke. Ivanna gritted her teeth and finally let Adriana push her away. Getting into the cab, Ivanna was still shaking with anger, she hadn''t anticipated the sarcasticments about the phone that Mica must have made. -Adriana, who is this boyfriend of yours? "Why can''t I meet such a nice boyfriend? - Adriana had arranged for someone to look into it, but there was nothing. Who is this Mr. Aguayo? -I hate Mica with a passion, but this ne, I really like it! Adriana became jealous when she saw that Ivanna really liked the ne.... She likes the ne, too.... Although not convinced, Adriana had to admit that Mica had a good eye for choosing jewelry and the designs were nice to clean.... Ivanna can''t even wear this ne, she''s saving it for the runway! -At this point, it''s impossible to get Mica out of Nubcancion! -said Adriana. What a day to be happy for nothing. -What are you afraid of? We''ll have plenty of chances to get rid of her. Ivanna put the ne away and looked at Adriana. -You said a foolproof n and ended up giving that bitch 100, 000 more! Thinking about it made Ivanna sink her teeth in rage. -It''s your fault, I can''t believe you didn''t realize they didn''t sign the contract! Chapter 64 : Where Is The Right Place To Pick It Up? Chapter 64 : Where Is The Right ce To Pick It Up? Chapter 64 : Where is the right ce to pick it up? Hearing Adriana''s unhappyint, Ivanna turned her head. -I, not that I understand..... Forget it, never mind, right now I have to get ready for the show! I want to be a sess. Adriana looked at Ivanna mischievously. -You''re so stupid! -You''re so stupid! Adriana looked towards thendscape that was moving away, Mica, I''m not going to let you escape like this! ... In the office, Ai cries and apologizes to Natalia. She says she has been cheated on by Alonso, who also argues unconvincingly, and the two end up arguing to exhaustion. natalia really doesn''t want to see and tells security to throw them both out. Atst quiet was restored on the 8th floor. The director of department 1 had been fired and now needed a recement and department 2 was a man down..... Natalia patted Kiki on the shoulder, looked back at Mica and returned to her office on the top floor. The others also returned to their posts and went off to do their thing. Kiki stood next to Mica and looked at her with a smile on her face. -Mica, congrattions, you won! Well done. -And thanks to you too, Kiki! -said Mica with sincerity. Ana came closer and said mischievously. -Mica, after all the money you''ve won, you shouldn''t have to buy! -Yes, my pleasure! A delight! The co-workers were up in arms. Mica smiled and nodded her head in agreement. -Okay, I''ll invite everyone over for dinner on Friday night! The next day there was no work, so no one had to get up early. -Oh, yes! Kiki calmed everyone''s excitement before everyone calmed down and got back to work. Mica sat in her seat when suddenly her phone rang with a text message. Mica opened it and it was a message that 100. 000 had arrived. "Real quick." It was the first time she had won that much money, so Mica was very excited and immediately told Alba about it. But Alba didn''t respond. "At this time of night, Alba should be sleeping." This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. After moving the phone back and forth, Mica bit her lip. "This phone is so ridiculously expensive! I have a feeling I owe Carlos a lot of money. And money to redecorate the house, which I have to pay up front because I can''t get in touch with the owner." Although she knew Carlos didn''t need her to pay, she didn''t want to be indebted to him. There was already a big difference in status between the two of them, and she would feel even worse and despise herself if she took everything he had for granted. She wanted to be on the same level as him, or at least not too far away, she wanted to be able to match him.... Mica''s face flushed, she had just admitted that Carlos was her boyfriend making her a little shy, good thing Carlos wasn''t here, otherwise she really couldn''t tell.... Actually, they still haven''t made their rtionship between them clear! Mica has never asked what Carlos is really about either.... Maybe it was a kind of escapism, she didn''t want to know how noble his identity really was, as if that would bring the two of them closer.... Mica picked up her phone and went to Carlos'' Whatsapp ount. His avatar was a ck cartoon character on a background and his nickname was very simple, a special symbol. The circle of friends was empty, nothing. Mica opens the dialog box and writes. Carlos, thanks for today! As with Alba, there was no response. Mica thought he must be busy too, so she thought no more about it and hung up the phone to dedicate herself to the task at hand. It had been a few days since she had taken on another design assignment and was now working on theputer. At the end of the day, Alba called, and Mica spent half an hour on the phone on the balcony, talking andughing out loud as Alba described the morning''s events. Not yet finished, her phone suddenly vibrated with a Whatsapp message. Mica unconsciously looked in front of her and saw that it was Carlos who had answered! She hastily hung up the phone and opened the Whatsapp. -Okay. I''ll pick you up in the evening. Mica''s heart raced and she answered. -Are you back? -Yes. Carlos replied, incredibly briefly, and then sent another. -Where would be a good ce for me to pick you up? Mica, though puzzled, replied. -Where I got off before. Carlos sent a question mark. "Forgotten?" Mica thought and sent the address of that intersection. -San Jorge Street," she thought, then wrote, "I get off at five-thirty. -Well, wait for me. Mica stared at the words for a long moment before putting her phone away.... "We haven''t spoken for a week..." It was close to five o''clock when Mica began to have trouble concentrating on her drawing. She was a little nervous at the prospect of seeing Carlos soon. At 5:15 p. m., her phone vibrated. Mica looked up and a message from Carlos appeared on the screen. I''m here. Mica''s heart skipped a beat and she decided to leave work a few minutes early. Mica quickly gathered her things, greeted her colleagues and left the office. It was a few minutes'' walk and Mica was running to get there. From a distance she saw a ck car parked at the curb. "Looks like it feels different..." Mica didn''t think about it and tried to open the back door, but it wouldn''t open, and then she noticed that there was no one in the back seat. "Is he driving himself today?" She looked over to the driver''s side and saw Carlos gesturing with his chin toward the passenger seat. Mica couldn''t help but think about it. -Does he want to be alone with me? -The thought made her face heat up a little. The thought made the temperature of her face rise a little.... He opened the door and sat down, looking at Carlos who was staring straight ahead.... Micael put on his seatbelt first and that strange sensation intensified.... A long, slender finger immediately pressed the center lock. Micael watched his movement and looked at Carlos in disbelief, stared seriously for a few seconds, and suddenly gasped and put his hand to the door:. -You''re not Carlos! Mica tried several times, the door wouldn''t open! Her heart was beating uncontrobly. Now she realized what was wrong. She hadn''t even opened the door herself when she got into the car, since she had been in Carlos'' car! Usually either Diego opened the door or Carlos did. And the fact that this man never looked her in the face! And this man''s sideways face looked exactly like Carlos''! Mica was very surprised. The car had started and was heading in a direction she didn''t know about. -I haven''t opened my mouth yet and you recognize that I''m not him? He and Carlos looked more alike on the side of the face, but few people could tell them apart at a nce! Today he had purposely dressed in Carlos'' style and had gone to do his hair just like his.... "This woman is special!" Chapter 65 : I Just Wanted To Meet My Sister-In-Law First! Chapter 65 : I Just Wanted To Meet My Sister-In-Law First! Chapter 65 : I just wanted to meet my sister-inw first! The man had a face remarkably like Carlos'' and his voice was particrly like Carlos''. Mica forced herself to calm down and her eyes turned icy. -Who are you? -Are you telling me? The man asked in turn. Mica didn''t want to say you''re his rtive or some such nonsense; looking so much alike, you must be a direct rtive, and asked another question. -Howe you use Carlos'' Whatsapp? Mica''s heart stuttered.... No, probably, that Whatsapp, not Carlos at all! I was so careless, I should have at least checked if it was him first! He had saved the phone number himself and had called, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake. The man chuckled slightly at the look of astonishment on his face. -That mobile number he uses, it was originally mine, then for some reason, it was given to him, but he never uses Whatsapp. "So it was..." Mica looked at the unfamiliar street scene and couldn''t help but get nervous. -Where are you taking me? Her hand unconsciously went to touch the phone, only to stop when she heard the man''s next words. -Have you ovee the aftereffects of hypnosis? "What was he talking about, what hypnosis?" -It was two years ago, you don''t even remember going to hypnosis? The car drove out of the city and into the suburbs, where the straight road was sparsely popted on the left and the beach on the right.... -What are you talking about, I don''t even understand! Mica felt puzzled. The man also froze slightly and looked at Mica. -She seems to have really improved in hypnosis! The man couldn''t help but look at Mica again. "This woman is so beautiful, no wonder Carlos likes her..." -Let me guess, why did you go to hypnosis? -Why? Mica asked, humoring his words to see what she coulde up with. -Because of Carlos? -What...? Mica was now even more certain that the man was talking nonsense. She hadn''t even met Carlos two years ago. -You''re mistaken for someone else, aren''t you? -Stop the car right now! -Honey, aren''t you at all curious as to why I said that? Mica looked at the face that looked so much like Carlos'', and when he said intimate words like that, she got goose bumps! -I''m not curious at all! If it''s something to do with Carlos, I''ll ask you, please stop the car now, I want to get out! "This woman is very smart!" The man looked at the mirror on his left, a little surprised.... "Getting to him so fast! How long has it been!" The man stomped on the elerator. Mica also felt the sudden eleration of the car, and fear gripped her. "This man must havee to me because of Carlos, but what was his purpose in making up all this nonsense?" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw in the rearview mirror a ck car following close behind me. "That, looks like Carlos'' car!" Mica turns around and looks out the window again.... "Does Carlos know I''m in this car?" The man didn''t care to keep talking to her, he had to concentrate on his car! She had asked him out countless times, and not once had he epted, now was the chance! The speed, the speed, the speed, the speed of a race car on television! Mica immediately felt her stomach churn and rushed to pull out her cell phone.... The man nced at Mica''s phone and it dawned on him. "The phone had its own location! And it was urate! No wonder the man caught up with her so quickly." If this was really a car race, the winner was already clear! The ck car behind caught up effortlessly, overtook him quickly and then, a few hundred yards further on, did a perfect skid and stopped in the middle of the road! The distance was controlled enough to stop the car behind him before he didn''t hit it! Mica hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt with trembling hands and then went to press the unlock button on the door.... The man in the car made no attempt to stop! Mica couldn''t wait to push the door open and get out.... Just as she got out of the car, she crashed into a familiar embrace! Mica reacted instantly, it was Carlos! "It''s really him, he''s really back! And he''s found me!" Carlos pulled her into his arms, the familiar smell instantly calmed the impatience, and with a hand on the top of Mica''s head, he whispered in her ear. -I''m sorry I''mte. Mica shook her head and naturally wrapped her arms around his waist.... -It''s all right, it''s not toote.... Mica''s heart finally calmed down, as long as Carlos was there, she would not be afraid. Diego also hurried out of the car with a somber look on his face. "Mr. Carlos was going so crazy!" Carlos and Diego had not been long in getting off the ne, and seeing that it was already time, they went straight to pick up Mica at work. From a distance, they saw a figure, which appeared to be Mica, getting into a ck car. Before Diego could confirm that it was Mica, Carlos ordered Diego to stop the car and he himself got into the driver''s seat. He was hundreds of yards away and recognized Mica immediately. "Mr. Carlos'' eyes were so sharp!" Due to therge number of people and cars in the city, it didn''t take long for the car to get anywhere. Mr. Carlos just looked at his cell phone, then threw it away and kept driving with a great sense of direction until he got out of the city and into the countryside, where he actually saw the car and started following the one in front of him in a mad dash. The seriousness of the car was impressive throughout. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Diego approached Carlos and looked sympathetically at Carlos'' brother, Tomas Aguayo, who looked so much like Carlos. "You''re out of luck!" Carlos put his arm around Mica and watched Tomas Aguayo get out of the car. Tomas looked at his brother with a stern look that made him swallow saliva and speak. -Brother, don''t get angry, I was only joking! Carlos let go of Mica, but still pulled her close to his side, his arm possessively around her waist. -Diego! Carlos'' eyes were on Tomas, but his mouth called out to Diego. -Yes, sir. Diego stood behind Carlos, then looked at Tomas and smiled in greeting. -Mr. Tomas! -Tomas is probably feeling too good for his own good, put him on the project to do market research in Africa! Carlos ordered in a cold voice. -Yes, young master! -No, brother, I''m sorry! Tomas was really anxious now, he had just returned from abroad! -I just wanted to meet my sister-inw first, nothing else! He said: -I just wanted to meet my sister-inw first, nothing else! The word "sister-inw" sounded good to Carlos. When he looked down at Mica, he saw that the girl''s face was slightly flushed. Chapter 66 : Their Phones Sounded Like A Couple Chapter 66 : Their Phones Sounded Like A Couple Chapter 66 : Their phones sounded like a couple -Carlos, I have to tell you that the sister-inw asked for your approval to add your Whatsapp. If I hadn''t used this app with your phone number, I wouldn''t know when you would know it! Carlos raised his eyebrows and looked towards Mica. Mica broke away from Carlos'' hand, stared at Tomas angrily and said blushing. -Who is your sister-inw? Don''t shout! Adding Whatsapp is a very normal action between friends! Carlos noticed her face slightly and understood that she was embarrassed, but he still felt a little ufortable because she anxiously defined the rtionship between them as friends. Nevertheless, Mica believed that Whatsapp was from Carlos and so she went to add it, which made it to Carlos particrly pleasant. Carlos spoke to Mica in her ear in a low voice. -Well, it''s my fault, for not using Whatsapp. Now I''m going to download it. "The fault is mine?" Tomas'' expression seemed to have been struck by lightning. How could his proud brother admit the mistake so matter-of-factly? "Is this woman so magical?" Tomas was in a great hurry to exin himself, knowing he needed to divert his brother''s attention so as not to irritate him. Seeing Carlos'' smile then, Tomas immediately understood that Mica was the key person and said at once. How smart sister-inw is! As soon as she got into the car, she figured out that it wasn''t you. All this happened within seconds! If I hadn''t kept my face to the side, she probably wouldn''t have gotten in the car. Carlos'' smile deepened. Carlos admired Mica''s intelligence, took her hand affectionately and they walked to his car. Seeing that they were about to get in, Tomas immediately chased after them and shouted. -Carlos, where are you going? I don''t want to go to Africa! Diego opened the door. Carlos got into the car after Mica sat inside. Diego closed the door and sat in the driver''s seat. Carlos rolled down the car window. -You have two minutes to delete your stuff on my cell phone and return the Whatsapp to me. Then Carlos raised the window again. The car drove away ostentatiously. Tomas pulled out his phone immediately. That Whatsapp was his other ount, which was used by him to flirt with women when he was bored. He didn''t add the contacts of Carlos'' friends, except for This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Mica''s. He cklisted all the contacts except Mica''s. Before exiting the application, he saw a message appear on the screen as follows: Your Whatsapp ount has been registered on another device. "Fuck, it only gave me two minutes, not one more! Luckily, I deleted things fast." Tomas lifted his head to nce towards the car driving away. Although Carlos didn''t tell him where it went, it didn''t stop him from following up either. Tomas made the decision on the spur of the moment, jumped in his car and gave chase right away. He sniffed in his car where there was still a scent exclusive to women. "How yummy is this smell, it''s definitely not from the perfume!" Tomas admitted that his brother was allergic to all kinds of perfume. He then understood that Mica was a rather special woman to Carlos. Tomas met Mica because he had a private informationwork that was the most sophisticated. At first, Carlos did not ask Tomas for the favor of researching Mica''s life experience, but he did not find anything in the pipeline either, so he handed over this task to him by a phone call. After doing the research, naturally Tomas discovered that Carlos was definitely in love with Mica. At that moment, Tomas felt quite surprised because his older brother was like a snowy mountain and no one dared to rush him into marriage in an obvious way. "It looks like this stone is finally blooming! " Considering the phone number he bought for Carlos, imminently Tomas connected the Whatsapp to use. Seeing Mica''s notification to add the contact, Tomas epted the approval first and nned to chat with her to find out what she was like if he had the chance. Then, after returning to the country, Tomas sent Whatsapp messages to Mica with a motive to take advantage of favorable circumstances to pick her up. The car turned around and drove steadily to the city center. Mica still blushed for being called as a sister-inw at that moment. Suddenly, a phone appeared in front of Mica and she looked up at Carlos hesitantly. -Help me download Whatsapp and log into my ount. -Well. Mica received the phone obediently and saw that it was very simr to hers, only with the difference in color, which Carlos''s was ck. Their phones looked like a couple. Mica stopped thinking about this and handled the cell phone intently. "I can''t believe now someone still doesn''t use Whatsapp!" Whatsapp downloaded fast. In order to write down the phone number, Mica asked. -What''s the phone number? -What? -Miss Mica, our sir''s number is 138xxxxxxxx. Diego answered for Carlos immediately. "What do you mean our lord is going to remember this thing!" Besides, this was Carlos'' private number that few people knew. It was Diego who was going to settle matters such as telephone charges, so for Carlos it was quite normal that he had not memorized it carefully. Earlier Diego had reminded Carlos that he would have to keep up with trends and download Whatsapp to use. However, Carlos ignored the advice. On the one hand, Carlos was not interested and on the other hand, he had a lot of things to do. Mr. Aguayo was busy daily with important matters, so he had no free time to y with this cell phone that was going to waste his hours. So, the video call at Mica''sst dinner was made on Diego''s cell phone. The verification code was needed after changing the cell phone. Mica put it in ording to the steps and then the Whastapp was well connected. While returning the cell phone to him, Mica looked outside the window and asked. -Carlos, where are you taking me? Carlos received the cell phone and asked her another question. -How did you find out he wasn''t me? Tomas and Carlos looked a lot alike and besides, today Tomas deliberately made his clothes and hairstyle look the same as Carlos''. -I didn''t know. I think it''s because of the feeling. Actually you look a lot alike at first nce, but after putting the observation, I find that you are totally different. Mica looked at Carlos and made another example. -It''s like how others think identical twins are exactly alike, but their parents think they are different and never confuse them. Her opinion made Carlos particrly pleased, which meant that she had watched him carefully. Carlos could also recognize Mica by just a figure. He knew that she would surely not suffer danger when she was together with Tomas, yet he still could not see her getting into the other man''s car. Nor her younger brother''s! -What did Tomas tell you? Mica remembered Tomas'' words that she was hypnotized and did it for Carlos. Although she didn''t trust what he said absolutely, she still asked. -Have we met before? For example, two years ago? -I also asked you the same question when we first met, remember? Mica stood in suspense and then remembered what happened at the entrance of the studio. That time she was trapped between Carlos and the wall and they almost kissed. Seeing Mica suddenly blushing, Carlos also guessed what she remembered, approached her and asked in a low voice. -Do you feel sorry for her? -What is it about? Mica did not understand Carlos'' question and reached out her hand to push him away. However, Carlos took action first and caressed her red lips with his thumb where the thin callus was visible. Mica shivered and looked up into Carlos'' eyes. The feeling spread across her lips, letting her pause. Chapter 67 : ILl Buy You Dinner! Chapter 67 : I''Ll Buy You Dinner! Chapter 67 : I''ll buy you dinner! Diego had the feeling that the atmosphere in the car got slightly charming and soft in an instant. Diego pointed the rearview mirror, seeing that both of their faces were going to stick together as it seemed, then he looked forward at once and didn''t pay attention to the mirror again. Breathing, she simply smelled the breath of Carlos'' body. She vaguely remembered the same image as well, the one before Carlos'' business trip, also in the car and in this position, his hand moved faster than his brain and he moved slightly closer to her with a light effort. Mica pushed him to Carlos again. Actually Carlos felt sad but he knew that Mica was very shy, so he didn''t force her anymore and sat back down formally with the following query. -Why are you asking this? -Well, your brother told me that two years ago I was hypnotized and besides, I did it for you. I''m sure his words are nonsense! Mica answered with a flushed face, looking out of the car. She walked away pushing Carlos again and this time she felt more distressed. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Carlos raised his eyebrows. "Was she hypnotized?" Tomas said this was about Carlos and this should be a pretext he used to tempt her. And it should be true that she was hypnotized. Mica and Carlos had slept together for several nights. Although he did nothing and simply held her to sleep, she didn''t notice him at all, which was really abnormal. "It could be the after-effects of hypnosis." "I have to find time to talk to Tomas in the evening." -By the way, Carlos, thank you so much for helping me with my design and putting up with me finding an abagado. Mica remembered what happened in the morning and hurriedly showed her gratitude to Carlos. -The staff of ourpany''s technology department says that the video cannot be restored, but the Carlos raised his eyebrows and asked carelessly. -How are you going to thank me? After thinking for a while, Mica said tentatively. -I''ll buy you dinner! She didn''t expect Carlos to promise her very quickly. -I ept. Come on! *** At this time Mica was very surprised and then thought that she definitely could not give Carlos regrets at dinner and that she should take him to a luxurious ce. Fortunately she won ten thousand euros today, otherwise she would go and lose face. The car stopped. Carlos got out first and then covered the top of the door with one hand to protect Mica from getting out. Mica nced around and at the hotel door, looking in via the ss door in front of her, and found a "Isn''t this the most luxurious seven-star hotel in Tdia?" Immediately Mica felt like she was going to spend more money. Carlos went inside along with Mica and meanwhile, Diego drove away. After entering the hotel, a person who looked like the manager bowed calling Carlos as Mr. Aguayo. He secretly observed Mica who was led by Carlos with her hand taken, thinking that for Mr. Aguayo it was the first time to bring apanion. The behavior between them was so close and it seemed that they were very rted. "By all ounts, Mr. Aguayo never approaches women, right?" Carlos nodded his head slightly. The manager directed them inside quickly. Diego always drove the car normally, deliberately not leaving cars behind, so Tomas easily followed him into the center of town. Watching Carlos and Mica enter the hotel, Tomas couldn''t help but produce suspicion with his great imagination. "Are they going to have dinner?" "If he''s staying, he definitely won''t let me follow him!" "Besides, what time is it now?" "It''s not dark yet." "He''s taken her home, that''s why, he doesn''t need to book a room." "Then, they''re going to have dinner for sure." Tomas parked the car outside the hotel door and an employee ran up to him. Tomas handed him the key and then went inside. The manager directed Carlos and Mica to a box and opened the door. Inside were several people seated, who turned their heads to look at them one after the other. Ernesto nced calmly toward them both as the friends next to him wore a rather astonished expression. He felt lucky to have seen Mica before, otherwise he would have been more surprised than they were. Leonardo and his girlfriend stared at Mica without blinking. Mica was dressed in a very professional and well-cut suit whose body was slender, with her hair neatly pulled back, which made her face particrly delicate. She was the striking beauty at first nce! Although her dress was not prominent, a unique and elegant temperament was dispersed on the body. Being a woman, Olivia also inevitably praised Mica in the heart for her beauty particrly. Ernesto knew Mica and had also talked to Leonardo about her as a magical existence, then, besides being surprised by Mica''s extraordinary beauty, they had no other doubts. "The dinner invitation is for Carlos, isn''t it?" They all didn''t expect someone else toe too and looked at her as if they had seen an alien, which made Mica feel very embarrassed. Carlos took her hand to enter naturally. He stopped next to Olivia and then spoke to Leonardo. -Go away. At that moment Leonardo regained consciousness and stood up unconsciously. -What are you doing? I''m sitting next to my girlfriend, do you have doubts? Look, the main seat is already reserved for you. Why do you want to steal my position? Carlos turned his head and nced at the manager. The manager came over leaning over immediately to change the chair. Carlos made Mica sit in the chair while he sat to his right. Mica was sitting between Olivia and Carlos, and felt Carlos'' actions were very touching. Ernesto and Leonardo were a bit on cloud nine. Carlos might have let Mica sit to Olivia''s left because she was vacant as well. -Wow, what a crazy protector you are! Ernesto couldn''t help but groan. Carlos gave him a sidelong nce. -Do you have doubts? -No! Mica blushed at Ernesto''s words. Leonardo had no choice but to sit on the other side of his girlfriend. As soon as he sat down, seeing that Ernesto was looking at the woman brought by Carlos, he couldn''t help seeing her too. Did her face turn red? Why? Because of Ernesto''s words as the crazy protector? Now in this society, was there still a girl who blushed so easily? However, after blushing, she was more beautiful, how cute she was! -Ugh! Suddenly, Leonardo shouted and looked towards his girlfriend who stepped on his foot with her high- heeled shoe. "I just give a few more looks to another woman and nothing more - how stingy!" Meanwhile, as if nothing had happened, Olivia looked at Mica with a smile and introduced herself. -Hi, beautiful. I''m Olivia," Olivia pped Leonardo''s arm at her side and continued, "This is my boyfriend, Leonardito. Ernesto was startled by the name. -Oh my God, your girlfriend has a pretty special nickname for you! -By the way, very fitting. -Particrly fitting for his temperament! Olivia, you must continue to call him by that name. Ernesto gave a chuckle while Carlos smiled too. Not long ago Carlos was regretting bringing Mica here because everyone was staring at his wife, which made him quite ufortable. Leonardo''s girlfriend was pretty smart. Chapter 68 : Do Siblings Work Together? Chapter 68 : Do Siblings Work Together? Chapter 68 : Do siblings work together? Originally Mica didn''t feel likeughing and was rtively self-conscious , but after overhearing the conversation between them and seeing how theyughed banging on the table, she couldn''t help but smile. -Hi, Olivia. I''m Mica. "This girl''s name is particr. She has two little dimples on her cheeks when she smiles. She looks very charming and cute." Leonardo wanted to admit bad luck but found something expressive in Olivia''s gaze. "When you meet a beautiful woman, you stare at her and even have the itch to drool. Isn''t this like the behavior of a dog that sees flesh and bones?" Thinking about his girlfriend''s tant envy, Leonardo felt instantly at ease. He knew hecked reason, he concentrated on the pleasant atmosphere and considered that they were all his friends, so he decided to leave them aside, but he still felt a sharp pain from the kick. -Mica, how beautiful you are! Olivia always had an unassuming personality and made thepliment without stinginess. Mica was a bit taken aback but quickly responded. -Thank you very much, you''re very pretty too! -What college did you graduate from? Olivia found it very easy to chat with people naturally. Soon she chatted about more topics. As she answered his question, Mica secretly looked around. Of course the seven-star hotel box was so luxurious and majestic that it made people''s jaws drop. The whole room was very spacious, where there was an oversized TV hanging on the wall, a sofa set by the window, and a credence in a high ce with a lot of high-end bottles that had a lot of value at a nce. With a white jade top, the table was not very big but more than enough for ten people. Not only the back of the chairs was also made of white jade, but also the cushion is soft and The manager stood next to Carlos and asked. -Mr. Aguayo, is everyone here? Can the tes be served? Carlos raised his hand to check the time and answered quietly. -Wait for a while. Then the manager withdrew to the side. Mica had seen Ernesto who sat across from her, because earlier it was he who delivered the flowers to her when she was dining with her colleagues. Ernesto nodded towards Mica and then stood up. -Mica, although we have met before, you still don''t know my name, do you? My name is Ernesto. Mica also felt like standing up, but Carlos stopped her by taking her hand. -It''s all right. Stay seated. -The man sitting next to Olivia is her boyfriend, the sessor of the Pinto Group. His name is Leonardo. Mica bowed her head to the gentlemen to make greetings one after another, who were young men with extraordinary appearance, rich and powerful. After the presentation, as soon as Ernesto sat down, a voice sounded from the door of the box. -Here I am! Except for Carlos, all the others turned to look and saw that it was Tomas. -Tomas, why didn''t you tell us after you came back? Ernesto showed his difort then. Tomas stood up next to him and answered. -I''ming here as soon as I get back! Then he looked at Mica. Sister-inw, it''s Tomas. Perhaps I frightened you a little while ago. Now I apologize. He saw that on the big table there were only some appetizers and that his older brother waited for him until he came before serving the food, he felt really moved. -Later, I will punish myself with three sses to apologize to you. Saying this, he then sat down. Carlos turned his head and ordered the manager to serve them their tes. Mica''s face turned red again, she nced at Carlos and said in a low voice and looked very pregnant. -Could you let him not call me like that? Carlos leaned back in the chair with an indolent and casual appearance, and spoke carelessly. -He has not obeyed me since he was a child. I can''t do anything with him. Seeing that Mica was about to speak, Ernesto and Leonardo listened quietly. At first, they were quiet, but after hearing Carlos'' answer, they looked at him with contempt. This was the highest degree of telling lies with their eyes open! We met each other with what we knew! Obviously Thomas had been obedient to his brother since he was a child! -Yes, sister-inw, I''ve been particrly rebellious since I was a child, I love being the opposite of my brother the most! They both felt disgust again. "Do siblings strive together?" In an instant Mica didn''t know whether she was going tough or cry. ying the phone at random, Leonardo shouted in fright. -Ernesto, open the Whatsapp right now. Carlos has been left behind for so many years, but now, he''s using Whatsapp! He paused and looked at Tomas. -This time, it''s not you, is it? Tomas waved his hands repeatedly. -It''s really not me. I''ve returned the Whatsapp to my brother. -Really? Ernesto pulled out his cell phone. There was a notification about a new friend contact to add. -Add him right now. In our group chat, only Carlos is missing. -Carlos, give me the approval quickly! At the same time, Carlos passed the cell phone to Mica. -Do it, please. He wouldn''t go and exin that he didn''t know how to handle it. -This caveman hasn''t yed Whatsapp! -Haha, then it is said that hegs behind in so many years. The two teased each other in every way when they found the opportunity. Mica took Carlos'' cell phone and added their contacts one by one. As they had consciously written their names in thement, she filled them in directly. Then she was ready to give the cell phone back to Carlos, but Ernesto spoke up. -How ugly your profile and name are! Tomas turned a little furious with a straight face because he was fine with it. It used to be a less important ount for him and he used it few times. Carlos looked at Mica and said in a low voice. -Make the modification ording to what you want. Mica stood in suspense for a while and then changed to her real name, Carlos. Over the profile, Mica picked up the phone and took a picture of him directly. Carlos nced at Mica without escaping whose eyes showed a smile and tenderness. Mica put the capture key whose heart was beating faster. Because of the appearance of which the gods would be jealous, even she could take the picture with her eyes closed and also the image could be a great work. Ernesto and Leonardo were surprised because they knew Carlos for more than twenty years but could never take even one picture with Carlos because he did not like to stand in front of the camera. However, he did not refuse at all when Mica took pictures of him. Mica saved the picture and gave him back the cell phone. Ernesto and Leonardo rushed to turn on their phones to see Carlos'' new profile. -Later, I''m going to add you to our group chat. As a new participant, you have to give us money in a red Property ? N?velDrama.Org. packet! Carlos ignored Ernesto, took his cell phone and talked to Mica. -It''s ready for dinner. Go wash your hands. Then he pointed to the location of the bathroom. Mica entered the washroom and saw that inside it was very spacious and clean, with no funny smell. Mica simply went to wash her hands and then did not close the door. As soon as she turned off the faucet, she saw another person in the mirror, who was Carlos. Mica moved to the side and Carlos put his hands under the faucet, with the sound of the water running. -Do you find it very ufortable? Carlos looked at Mica in the mirror. Mica nced back at him and shook her head. -No, I''m fine. Her friends gave her a very kind feeling. After washing his hands, Carlos took out a napkin to clean the water, looked towards Mica and said. -They are my good friends since I was a child. You don''t need to feel self-conscious, okay? Mica blushed slightly and nodded her head. Before Carlos had never taken a girl to parties from among his friends and this was a first. Chapter 69 : As If They Were Originally Like This Chapter 69 : As If They Were Originally Like This Chapter 69 : As if they were originally like this Seeing his deep eyes, Mica lowered her head whose heart was beating very fast. Carlos took her hand to walk out together. Red-faced, Mica thought that it seemed more and more natural for Carlos rightly to hold hands. In the mese there were already several dishes, but Carlos was not there, so no one took chopsticks. -Wow, they were even going to wash their hands in pairs. Ernesto looked envious and jealous. -Of course, I see that tonight I''m not eating the food but the conjugal love shared by my brother. Tomas put his hand on Ernesto''s shoulder as they werepanions in misfortune. Mica did not know if she was going tough or cry while Carlos ignored them keeping intoned. Leonardo became proud. -Come on, look over here, enjoy our love as you like! Then he took Olivia in his arms and gave her a kiss on her cheek, which made her so shy and angry that she punched him a few times. Tomas and Ernesto went back to teasing Leonardo, with a rather lively atmosphere. As soon as Carlos and Mica were seated in their original position, the manager poured the wine for them. After pouring the wine for Carlos, the manager was going to serve Mica. Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Carlos'' words. -They drink juice. Immediately the manager reced the wine with juice for the twodies. Although Carlos missed Mica''s drunkenness and tenderness from that night, he understood that she definitely did not want to drink alcohol again. Carlos reached out his hands to serve Mica the soup in the bowl and the others began to pick up their chopsticks for dinner. The tes were served quickly, set out as a full circle on the turntable. The food was very tasty, quite exquisitely decorated, like a work of art. As they were all acquaintances, they naturally had endless topics to talk about, some of which were very eloquent. Dinner was also very lively. However, as they ate, they couldn''t help but nce towards Carlos and Mica. They saw that Carlos put one hand on the back of Mica''s seat, with the other hand he served her food and soup from time to time, sometimes he would ask her how it tasted. And Mica would answer him as she ate. That image was indescribably harmonious and pleasant, as if they were originally like that. The aura that emanated throughout Carlos'' body was no longer cold and distant, but warm and It turned out that Carlos was so considerate and took great care of people. It was no wonder he wanted to sit to Mica''s right so he could serve her dishes! The sudden silence throughout the box caused Carlos and Mica to raise their heads inexplicably. Carlos spoke very matter-of-factly. -Tomas, go on. What did the Italian businessman do next? Tomas continued chatting on the subject at this point. Everyone seemed cheerful again. But the image at that moment was already stored in the heart. Was the image of getting along with the loved one so beautiful? Tomas looked towards the other couple, Leonardo and Olivia. Although they did not show as charming a feeling as Carlos and Mica, one could see that they knew each other well enough and had a very unspoken understanding. Suddenly, Leonardo put down the chopsticks and asked for the excuse to go to the bathroom. He closed the door, took out his phone and texted someone. -Don''te here, you don''t have the chance anymore! The other person replied with several messages quickly. -What do you mean? -No, I have toe! -Leonardo, don''t worry, I''ll never let Mr. Aguayo know that it''s you who informs me that he''s here! -I have to see him! Leonardo regretted having told him the box number and clicked on the screen. -Carlos is already in love with someone and has brought her to dinner. Among our friends, a woman he doesn''t recognize as a better half will not be brought out in the open. Leonardo received no more information from the other person for a long time and then he guessed that she should have given up. "That''s good, to avoid implicating me if the secret is not out." When Leonardo came out, he saw Mica opened the door to the private room and left taking her cell phone in her hand. Mica walked to the hallway outside where it was empty and then answered the call. -Hello, Mom. The call came from the director of the orphanage where Mica lived for two years when she was still a child. -Mica, have you had dinner? The kind voice of the president came in the middle of the phone and still made Mica feel happy. -Yes, I had dinner, and you? -Me too. Mica, I received the money you transferred mest time. The message came on the phone, but I couldn''t read it clearly, so I didn''t pay much attention. Today I went to withdraw money and I didn''t know until I saw that the remaining money was overdrawn. It must have been made by you. Thank you so much for continuing to think of the children here. Director Mom spoke very slowly and pronounced each word clearly, because some children in the orphanage were congenitally hearing-impaired, which made her cultivate especially excellent patience. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. -You are wee. This is what I must do. If you had not taken me in at the orphanage at that time, I would not be like this today. -Mica, you are very kind. I am calling you today to ask you a favor. Then he paused for a while, as if he found it difficult to put something on the table. -No, don''t say this. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. -Well, can you talk to your cousin, to ask him to sympathize with the children and not to take back the "What, is the Elvira Family going to take back thend from the orphanage?" -Or ask her to give me a few months and let me find a suitable ce to move. Miss Elvira came today and told us that we would have to move immediately. Really, I have no idea for a while. You are her younger cousin, can you help me talk to her? The president felt that talking to Mica was hard, because she knew that the members of the Elvira Family were not attached to Mica, which Mica mentioned to her before but then told her less and less. The president understood that Mica did not want her concern. If she had no other choice really, the president would not call her. Mica knew that thend was bought by the Elvira Family a few years ago. "Nevertheless, why isn''t the orphanage allowed to stay open there all of a sudden?" "Is there a problem in the Elvira Group''s funds, so she needs to sell thend again?" "Or is Adriana simply trying to take advantage of this issue so that I will beg her?" "If it''s thetter, then she has achieved her goal - in fact, I need to pay her a visit!" Mica agreed to his request with promises that she would talk to Adriana, so that the president would calm down without thinking too much, then warned her to pay attention to health and hung up the phone. With the cell phone in her hand, Mica took a deep breath and prepared to turn around and head back to the box. She was talking on the phone as she walked slowly, and at this point she had reached the window at the end of the hallway. It was only then that she remembered that she had forgotten the number of the private room. As she came, Carlos directed her directly and she didn''t fix her attention on the box at all. Did she need to find it room by room? Or could she simply phone Carlos. Before Mica could raise her hand, suddenly, another male hand reached out from the hallway to the left, covered her mouth and nose, and pulled her into the bathroom. Chapter 70 : DonT Be So Innocent Chapter 70 : Don''T Be So Innocent Chapter 70 : Don''t Be So Innocent "It''s been almost ten minutes since Mica went out to answer the phone, why hasn''t shee back yet?" "What is she talking about for so long?" Carlos began to turn his attention to this case often. A whileter, he got up and left to look for her personally. In the hallway there was no one, nor the figure of Mica. At the end there was a window, to the left of which there was a turn, where the bathroom was. Carlos looked to the right of the corridor from which one could walk directly to the elevator. As he thought, Carlos took out his cell phone to call her. He made two calls in a row and they were connected but no one answered. He was vaguely anxious. Carlos felt like going to the washroom first to look for her, but just then a waitress came pushing a cart from the direction of the elevator. Carlos stopped her and described Mica''s height and appearance. The woman looked at the tall, handsome man in front of her whose heart was pounding. When Carlos finished speaking, the waitress pointed to the elevator and said: -Yes, I have seen this woman. She has taken the elevator down. Carlos furrowed his brow and immediately advanced towards the elevator without hesitation, and furthermore, took out his cell phone on which he turned on the location function, showing that Mica was still in the hotel. At most she should be downstairs. But when he reached the lobby, he didn''t see her. The phone rang abruptly and Carlos thought it was Mica''s call but noticed it was from Tomas. Carlos told Tomas what had happened shortly and everyone else came downstairs. The waitress says that the sister-inw is downstairs? But her bag is still upstairs! Carlos was surprised by Tomas'' words, he looked at the location map again and saw that Mica''s position had not changed. She wasn''t that capricious. If she was in a hurry to leave early, she would definitely go and warn Carlos and wouldn''t refuse to answer the phone, then something should have gone wrong with her! That waitress lied! *** On this side, Mica was dragged to the bathroom in the hallway by a man with his mouth covered. Because this floor only contained the private rooms and there was a bathroom in each room, there were no other people in the corner washroom. As she struggled, Mica lifted her foot to stomp on the man''s toes with great effort. The man screamed in pain, let go of Mica, backed up a few steps and fairly leaned against the door that had just closed, blocking her way. -What a savage you are, I''ll see this time if you''re so lucky or not! Mica looked at the man and felt that he looked very familiar. The man snooped and closed the bathroom door. -It was a pity I didn''t get youst time, otherwise, you should have a deep impression on me. Mica remembered that he was Mr. Gallo, who wanted to rape her that time Tia Marta and Adriana drugged her and took her to the hotel. Even though she was going crazy with her judgment back then, she still remembered that he was very pot-bellied, so far it had been a month and he had lost so much weight. -What do you want to do? Mica asked anxiously but did her best to calm down. -Hehe, what do you think? Mica furrowed her brow and looked around, seeing that this bathroom wasn''t big and in the corner was a mop. -Mr. Gallo, be a gentleman, please! -Again, be a gentleman. Can you say some other words? Then Mr. Gallo lunged at Mica, however, she ran away from him and Mr. Gallo threw himself over the sink. Mica ran for the door immediately, but before her hand could reach the handle, Mr. Gallo turned to grab her arm and pulled her back. Mr. Gallo thought to himself he should be skinny and so behaved much more flexibly. Mica staggered back several steps. The cell phone in her hand was not well gripped, flew out and slid directly under the sink. At this time the phone rang. The cell phone shouldn''t be broken and the call should be from Carlos! These two messages popped up simultaneously in Mica''s mind. -Mr. Gallo, my friend is also having dinner on this floor. I''m sure he''s looking for me now. If you let me out right away, I''ll make it so that nothing happened. -I also hope nothing happened, but I can''t! -That time I didn''t get you. I didn''t get you that time. I haven''t forgotten you for a moment! -About this, who was the man who took you? He hit me so hard that I stayed in the hospital for several days, my business was gone too! He watched Mica attentively, thinking that this woman''s beauty was really iparable. -Are you surprised that I''m so thin all of a sudden? It''s because of worry! Property ? N?velDrama.Org. -Half a month after leaving the hospital, there were many sudden incidents in thepany. Hundreds of millions of my funds were lost! Now I''m broke! Broke! Speaking of this, Mr. Gallo was so angry that he cried himself hoarse. Then he looked at Mica with bad attention and smiled vulgarly. -But now I have met you here. You show up tofort my wounded soul, don''t you? After the event at the hotel, his business quickly took a turn for the worse without warning, which took him by surprise so much that he didn''t even have a chance to save his trade. Although he made a huge mental effort, he didn''t know what caused today''s consequences for his poor attention to Mica at the hotel that time. He came here to ask for help from a former associate, but the bastard left him in the bull''s horns. He came out of the box and saw that Mica was phoning at the end of the corridor, oblivious to him, then secretly entered the bathroom and dragged her inside when she wasn''t concentrating on him. Mica shook her head and believed that this man should have been severely stimted whose brain was already abnormal. She looked at the location of the phone, thinking that if she bent down to pick it up, Mr. Gallo would go to throw it at her, and this would be too risky. -Mr. Gallo, calm down. The business has failed, but you can still recoup your losses. Mr. Gallo pped Mica hard in the face. Mica threw herself to the ground on whose face finger marks immediately appeared. -You think it''s so easy to do it! Now nobody wants to help me, hahaha, I''m lost! Mr. Gallo cried whileughing, really like a madman! The phone stopped ringing but a secondter, it started ringing again. Mica got up and stood up, considering that Carlos must be looking for her. As long as she stalled for time, Carlos would find her soon! Mica insisted that Carlos would go find her, then took advantage of the conversation to distract his attention right away. -I remember that at that time you had a business of one million euros. How is it possible for you to be ruined so soon? Was it stolen by the Elvira family? Did you fall into the Elvira family''s trap? His face was burning with pain and it was hard for him to speak. Her face would definitely be swollen, however , she didn''t have time to take care of it back then. Mr. Gallo paused and then said, "Impossible! -Impossible! This business was not taken over by the Elvira family but by Solnaciente! It was stolen all of a sudden! How could I not anger him to give blood! Mica''s idea was soon discovered by him. -Do you want to buy time to let your friende to your rescue? Mr. Gallo scoffed with the muscles of his face trembling. -Don''t be so innocent, this bathroom is so hidden that few peoplee here! Saying this, he nced her up and down. Chapter 71 : Carlos, Calm Down! Chapter 71 : Carlos, Calm Down! Chapter 71 : Carlos, calm down! Mica stepped back to keep a distance from him and didn''t let him get close. But when she stepped back further, she was farther away from the door. She kept telling herself over and over in her heart that Carlos woulde and she would be saved. -Aren''t you broke? I''m going to give you money. Let me go, please. Nervously Mica tried tomunicate with him. -Pretty girl, are you sure you have money? I recently heard that you went from an orphanage. So how can you have the money, or have you found some rich man? Mr. Gallo was touched by her words but kept talking. -You are so beautiful, attractive and aromatic. As the saying goes, I die under the peonies, I even feel happy even if I be a ghost! He took a step forward and forced Mica back to the corner. Mica grabbed the mop to the side and shook it, but the man had great strength like an ox, grabbed the mop at once, then stole it from her with a strong tug and threw it behind him. Mica wanted to take the chance to run away, however, she was grabbed by the arm by him and pushed towards the wall. He reached out to rip the cor of Mica''s shirt so hard that the two buttons flew off. -Ah! Get away! Let go of me! Mica screamed aloud,pletely disorganized, struggling to break free from his grip. Her tears also came out and she thought only of Carlos in her mind. "When is Carlosing to save me? He''lle for sure. He''s going to rescue me every time, isn''t he?" The phone ringing rang again and again under the sink incessantly. Mr. Gallo grabbed Mica''s iling arm and focused on her exposed skin with his eyes. Even though only a bit of her white skin was visible below the corbone, it still made Mr. Gallo feel exciting. As soon as he was about to put his head down, the bathroom door kicked open with a big sound. Mr. Gallo still didn''t have time to see who wasing in, then he was punched hard in the face and knocked to the floor with blows. Carlos fixed Mica with tears on his face, and his heart was very tight. Seeing the torn cleavage, he immediately took off his jacket and moved forward to wrap itpletely around her. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Mica was still frightened and breathed, emotionless in her gaze at Carlos. Carlos had never been so irritated! Carlos turned his head hastily and looked at Mr. Gallo, who was still sitting on the floor. Mr. Gallo spit out a bloody tooth, looked at Carlos who had a rather fierce face, and wiggled his butt backwards in fear. Ernesto and the others arrived shortly. Carlos ran too fast, so they didn''t catch up with him and just watched him kick the door of the room in the corner. When they entered the bathroom, they found that Mica was wrapped in Carlos'' clothes and stood in the corner trembling. Meanwhile, Carlos, filled with anger, walked step by step towards the man sitting on the floor. He bent down, grabbed Mr. Gallo by the neck and lifted him up. Carlos pushed him a few steps forward and forced him against the wall. Mr. Gallo looked at Carlos with his legs bent and stammered. -She''s the one seducing me! Ie in here and then shees in to seduce me! Carlos gave him a sharp look with his chest heaving! -What are you saying? Mr. Gallo had just been punched and in front of his eyes there seemed to be stars, but he didn''t recognize Carlos, who was the one who took Mica at the hotel thest time. He hurried to excuse himself and was afraid of Carlos'' look as if he was going to kill him, so he said nonsense. -Don''t let yourself be deceived by that woman. She is frivolous, and she has seduced me. With a fierce re, Carlos looked at the dying man in front of him without blinking. Carlos thought that, being a first-ss person both in his family background and in his appearance, he had to run after Mica, take care of her and protect her. For him, it was impossible to let her go wrong, and he could not yet confirm whether he hadpletely won her heart. Some neers became very concerned about Mr. Gallo''s IQ when they heard his words. Carlos grabbed his throat with clenched fingers whose gaze was utterly cruel. Immediately Mr. Gallo rolled his eyes and struggled to get out with both hands and feet. Seeing that the man was exhaling more and sucking in less air, Tomas and Ernesto rushed over at once, supported Carlos one to the left and one to the right and backed up a few steps. -Carlos, calm down! -Brother, you''re going to strangle him! Then Carlos let go of his hand. Mr. Gallo slipped down the wall, fell to the ground and gasped in fright. Seeing this viin mistreat the woman for whom Carlos cared so much, being his friend, he could not leave him alone! -Carlos, let me fight with him! Then Ernesto took off his coat. -Of course. Brother, take the sister-inw to rest, I''m in charge here! Tomas also rolled up his sleeves. -How can it be a fight without me! Leonardo clenched his fists and made a rattling sound. Saying this, the three men walked toward Mr. Gallo, which frightened him so much that he could hardly breathe. Mr. Gallo hurried to put his head in his hands and begged. -It''s my fault. I am possessed by the moment and I have coveted your beauty. It is my fault. Don''t hit me, please. The three struck him with their fists and feet, however, they avoided the deadly point, which caused him to be half-dead with pain but without danger of life. For a while, Mr. Gallo''s screams filled the sink. Carlos nced toward Mica as Olivia stood beside him to quietlyfort him. Carlos advanced forward, reached out to embrace Mica and whispered in her ear. -It''s all right. Don''t be afraid. Mica''s hands and feet still trembled, but in Carlos'' warm embrace she found the true feeling whose dangling heart slowly calmed. She simply went out to take a call, but how could something so serious happen to her? Carlos regretted letting her leave to answer the phone and believed she couldn''t stay out of his sight for even a little while. The three men kept hitting Mr. Gallo until he passed out from the pain and then looked up at Carlos. They were all emotional and shocked by Carlos'' behavior today. Mica was very magical because she could let Carlos do so much crazy stuff! To the sixth floor! Carlos had no desire to wait for the elevator and ran straight up the stairs. The others followed Carlos and ran up the stairs too, panting, and watched him kick the door to the sink in the corner. Mica was definitely the vulnerability for Carlos! Olivia noticed the cell phone under the sink and immediately picked it up. Carlos dropped his hands, reached down to look at Mica and turned angrily again because he saw five red fingerprints on her delicate cheek. Carlos let go of her and turned away. Everyone thought he would hit the reckless man again, and even Mica grabbed his hand without thinking. Chapter 72 : If You Replace Them With Other Words, ILl Be Glad To Hear Them! Chapter 72 : If You Rece Them With Other Words, I''Ll Be d To Hear Them! Chapter 72 : If you rece them with other words, I''ll be d to hear them! She rarely took his hand, so Charles did not naturally refuse to ept it. He wrapped her hand in his palm and looked down at Mr. Gallo whoy on the ground unconscious. Carlos lifted her foot and stepped on his right palm. Immediately in the bathroom Mr. Gallo''s faint bleating sounded. -Forgive me, please. Mr. Gallo begged in a voice whose mouth was full of blood. Even Mica and Olivia did not like to look at him, so they turned their heads. -How dare you touch my wife, you''re looking for death! Carlos increased the force on his foot mercilessly and continued to crush Mr. Gallo''s hand. The men gave a deep sigh for not knowing before until that moment that generally Carlos was not going to harm the others but the consequences would be very serious if necessary. It appeared that the man''s hand was in bad shape. Mr. Aguayo came to Celotierra for dinner but hispanion disappeared. This big ident happened, so the manager did not dare to ignore it and hurriedly alerted the general manager. The general manager arrived quickly with a group of bodyguards. As soon as the general manager entered and saw the bloody scene, he also made gestures of displeasure. He approached Carlos, bowed and said respectfully. -Mr. Aguayo, I am very sorry for our incorrect work and the ident. Carlos looked into the CEO''s eyes with a cold stare. -To review the surveince video. About ten minutes ago, a waitress came through this hallway and I talked to her. Look for her right away. If you don''t find her, Celotierra will be closed from tomorrow. The general manager was so scared that his legs were weak, he nodded continuously, took out his cell phone and sent the staff. Carlos, who was driven by anger, frowned at that moment and reflected on why Mr. Gallo took such measures against Mica. It was impossible for him to discover the reason for the bankruptcy, that Carlos intentionally exerted pressure on things around him. Did he do it simply because of Mica''s beauty? Did someone order it? Carlos spoke to the general manager again. -Wait, go back and check if there are suspicious people in the hotel! The general manager nodded at once and sent the staff out. Mica took Carlos'' hand, then he looked towards her and withdrew his foot. -Who called you recently? Did he take you out on purpose? Mica shook her head. -It can''t be. It''s a call from someone and I trust her. She''s absolutely not bad people. Suddenly, Mica didn''t know how to exin to him that she had lived in the orphanage for two years. In her conscience, she was still troubled by the great discrepancies in their identities. Carlos nodded and did not insist on asking more but spoke to Tomas. -Tomas, take care of this. He pointed with his eyes to Mr. Gallo on the floor, so Tomas nodded to show his understanding. Carlos left with Mica. After returning to the box, Carlos settled her on the couch, then turned to get the ice chips from the refrigerator, wrapped them in a small towel, sat down next to Mica and ced the ice gently on her cheek. Mica held the tingling very tightly as the ice touched her cheek, not moaning, just biting her lip lightly and then releasing it. -Does it hurt a lot? Carlos still didn''t miss any of Mica''s facial expressions. Seeing her sitting across from him, the anger and nervousness in his heart vanished. -No, it doesn''t hurt! This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Mica persisted in not telling him the truth because she did not want Carlos to worry about her. Carlos reproached himself for taking her to dinner but not protecting her well. Mica reached out to cover the ice, grabbed the cor of the suit and covered the cleavage. Mica''s fear vanished and now she was so close to Carlos, so she smelled a fresh, slightly cold breath from him as she breathed, which left her embarrassed. "How dare you touch my wife, you''re looking for death!" Mica remembered Carlos'' words at that moment and blushed more whose heart was beating faster. It was the first time Carlos said something simr to their rtionship. Carlos withdrew his hand and looked at Mica, who was wearing his clothes, and in the instant he became particrlyfortable. Mica felt that Carlos still fixed his gaze on her, she hastily changed the subject. -Have they had dinner? I''m so sorry for affecting dinner. -Silly! Carlos pinched Mica''s chin to gently lift her head and looked at her with deep eyes. -I said you never need to say those words to me. Carlos paused and in an attempt to let her rx, he said smiling. -But, if you rece them with other words, I''ll be d to hear them! Mica was stunned for a while. "Other words?" In an instant, many words appeared in her mind and she even remembered a joke she had just read, of which the summary was that the groom spoke to the bride that he would take care of her in life but eventually she died of starvation. Then Mica''s brain, which stopped thinking,manded the mouth to say. -I take care of you! Naturally these words were spoken in amanding manner and with a bit of confidence, so loud was Mica''s voice, as if she were making a statement! Precisely at that moment the door to the box opened from the outside. Meanwhile, Ernesto was dumbfounded to hear what Mica said. He seemed to have heard something incredible! Carlo let Mica free. "How cute is the babe when her mind is not on the line!" Carlos released the hand that held her chin to stroke her head, rubbed her hair and said in a low, maic voice. -Okay. Then he stood up and nced toward Ernesto. Immediately Mica blushed for permission. She didn''t have enough ability to care for him! Was she wired wrong? Ernesto coughed, as if he had heard nothing. -Where are they? As Carlos casually asked a question, he saw Olivia walk in as well. Olivia walked straight over to Mica to sit next to her and noticed that her face was abnormal, thinking that Mica was ufortable about what had happened, so sheforted her quietly. -Mica, you''re safe, don''t be afraid. Here, here''s your phone. Saying this, Olivia handed the cell phone back to her. -Well, thank you very much. Mica received it and looked at it simply. She saw that the screen wasn''t cracked but the paint on the edges and corners was a little dull. She still felt slightly distressed that the cell phone was so expensive. -Tomas had arranged for people to send the man to the hospital first. Ernesto thought it funny after thinking for a while. -Really, we''ve hit him too hard. We still have to send him to the hospital! Carlos gave him a sidelong nce and Ernesto continued. -Leonardo and the manager are investigating one by one if there are other suspicious people. -All right. Don''t lose any suspicious people. Carlos'' words did not show kindness. Suddenly, Ernesto remembered something and said with surprise. -Carlos, I remember that man. He is Roberto Gallo, the head of Grupo Gallo. Ernesto found no emotion in Carlos'' face and believed that Carlos had recognized him earlier. -Last month, his order for one million euros was taken by me. After that, everything went wrong for him. Now he has dered bankruptcy. Ernesto swallowed the rest he wanted to say. It was Carlos who asked him for the interception. Maybe he went bankrupt because of Carlos''s secret actions. However, why did Carlos do this? Also because of Mica? Chapter 73 : But I CanT Even Get Close To Him A Little Bit.... Chapter 73 : But I Can''T Even Get Close To Him A Little Bit.... Chapter 73 : But I can''t even get close to him a little bit.... Ernesto looked towards Carlos with surprise, and the other said nothing. With his silence he admitted it. That was a fact. The first time when he had met Mica that night at the hotel, he had kicked Roberto, but he had not thought of doing anything else to that man. However, when he gradually realized his feelings for Mica, half a month after the incident he nned to bankrupt the man. Carlos would never allow anyone to touch a hair on his wife''s head! At the door of the VIP room, Leonardo and the general manager of Celotierra entered, along with a waitress who would not stop crying. The CEO made a small bow to Carlos as he entered the room: -Mr. Aguayo, we are very sorry for the inconvenience, we did not expect this to happen, we will take care of all the expenses today.... -Shut up," Ernesto interrupted his sentence loudly, "nobody cares about the expenses, what you have to take care of is today''s incident! Where are the suspects? -Yes yes yes yes, you are absolutely right. We have already sent people to look for the suspect all over the hotel, we can assure you that not a fly will escape! Then the manager pulled the waitress forward: -We have already arrested the people who had cheated! Mica and Olivia approached with their faces full of tears. The waitress fell at Carlos'' feet because of the director''s strong pull. Due to the fear she felt she was crying more and more, between sobs she said: -I''m very sorry sir, but I didn''t lie to you with intention..... Carlos looked at the woman on the floor with an expressionless face. It was this woman! If it wasn''t for this woman, I would surely have gone into the sink to confirm it. Then that wouldn''t happen to Mica! Carlos said nothing, he just looked at the director with a prating gaze. The director wiped some sweat from his face, spoke in a louder tone: -Open your eyes wide and see clearly! All the people in this room are great people of Tdia. Tell me honestly, why did you lie? The woman panicked and shook her head. -I didn''t lie. When I got out of the elevator I really saw a woman who wanted to get into the elevator. The description of her body and height matched what this man indicated.... The woman cried pitifully, it didn''t look like a lie. Mica felt sorry for her and said to Carlos: -Maybe she is telling the truth, it was just a coincidence? Carlos frowned and looked at the director and said: -Show me the video surveince! -Yes sir, I''ll set it up right away! The director left immediately to get everything ready. Leonardo suddenly asked: -Do you still remember what that person looked like? The waitress thought and answered: -She must be about 20 years old, she was wearing a nice white dress and carrying a hat..... Leonardo began to have a bad feeling. At that moment, some hotel employees came in. They looked at the director, then at Carlos who, as he had a powerful countenance, did not dare to approach, so they stayed at the door and said looking at his feet: -Chief, we have already checked the whole hotel, there is no one suspicious. As soon as they finished the words, the atmosphere worsened.... Mica pulled Carlos'' arm a little and said: -Maybe just by chance, the woman came to eat and left. Mr. Gallo is bankrupt, that''s why he is mentally unstable. I recently went out to take a call and had the bad luck to run into him. Maybe it''s not such a Carlos looked at Mica, he didn''t say yes or no. He was tired. The woman''s tiredness was evident on her face. Since they did not find the suspect and the surveince could also be watched from home, Carlos addressed everyone: -We are leaving. Let''s meet another day," he then turned to the director. I will send my people to check the video surveince. You must cooperate with them. As the matter was rted to Mica, reliable people were needed for the job. -Yes, yes, yes, yes! We definitely won''t have any negligent ones! -the director hastened to reply. Carlos left with Mica in his arms, not forgetting to take the bag that was hanging on the back of the chair. Mica took the bag from Carlos'' hands immediately. The image of Carlos carrying her bag was quite strange to her. Carlos did not give her reaction any more importance. Everyone left the VIP room. It was already touching nine o''clock, but the night on the town was just beginning. In the hotel lobby, there was still some chaos caused by the suspicious person. The general manager waved his hand hurriedly indicating people to disperse so as not to disturb Mr. Aguayo any further. Diego Ocampo was already waiting at the door of the hotel. Olivia said goodbye to Mica especially, they saved their phone numbers and added each other on WhatsApp before parting ways. Diego noticed that Mica was wrapped in the gentleman''s coat, plus she had one hand holding the cor of the clothes all the time. Despite being curious, he did not ask anything. He opened the back door. The two people got into the car. The director watched the three cars drive away and sighed. "Who was the person who dared to touch Mr. Aguayo''s wife, he was sticking his neck out!" *** Leonardo took Olivia to his house. The two of them stayed for quite a while before Olivia entered her residential area. When he returned to his car, he pulled out his cell phone and made a call. A woman answered on the other end of the line: -Tell me Leonardo. -Did youe to Celotierra tonight? The other side of the line went silent. -Was it you? What happened tonight? -Leonardo insisted. -I don''t know what you''re talking about.... -Amelia, tell me the truth! -Leonardo''s tone was especially serious. Now he regretted very much having told her where Carlos was having dinner. Amelia Atenas stopped for a few seconds before answering: -Yes, I came and saw the woman you mentioned to me, and I left. -That''s all? -Yes, but I will not give up! -she answered with conviction. Leonardo felt a little helpless. -Amelia, why are you clinging to Carlos? -Leonardo, I really love him very much, but I can''t even get close to him, not even a little.... I am so sad... -I''m so sad..." The woman''s tone was tearful. Leonardo immediately empathized with her. He imagined that at that moment Amelia''s face would be full of tears. However, the woman who stood in front of the window of the Athens family''s vi, did not show even a hint of sadness on her face, but a sinister and horrifying face. *** When Carlos and Mica arrived at Nyisrenda, Tomas was already waiting for them. He was chatting with Sofia in the living room, he said something and made Sofia had to cover her mouth trying to hold back herughter.... All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. She approached when she saw the two of them enter. Sister-inw, did he scare you a lot? Mica again felt ufortable listening to this treatment.... -If I was asked to write the essay of that memorable day again, surely I can do thousands of words! Mica couldn''t hold herughter when she heard that. -First go back to the room to change, then I have something to talk to you about," said Carlos looking at Mica. Mica nodded her head and went up to her room. Chapter 74 : Just A Kiss...? Chapter 74 : Just A Kiss...? Chapter 74 : Just a kiss...? Carlos Aguayo turned on theputer as he entered the study. Meanwhile, Tomas sat on the couch and exined to Diego Ocampo what happened that night. The video surveince had already been sent, Carlos had to confirm immediately if it was really just a coincidence or if it was all artificially designed. The video started from the moment he and Mica entered the hotel. ording to the surveince, it looked like what Mica said. Roberto came out from another VIP room and became lustful after seeing Mica. She didn''t look like she had been instructed by anyone. He stood in the hallway watching her for quite a while and then headed for the sink in the corner. The washroom was out of reach of the video surveince, but it was still very evident that Roberto went there before Mica to prepare the ambush. Nothing was visible after Mica went through the window. However, it could be clearly seen that she was dragged by a hand the moment she came out. Seeing her being dragged away made Carlos so angry that he squeezed the mouse hard, he had the urge to grab Roberto again and cut off his hand. Shortly thereafter, the woman the waitress mentioned also appeared, but from another VIP exit and went straight to the elevator''s gravy train. Next, Carlos came out of the room and made a call looking in all directions. Then, the waitress appeared. ording to the recordings, there was nothing suspicious. Mica also said that the call was made by a trusted person, not by someone intentionally calling him toe out. Maybe it was really an ident and Roberto was just attracted by Mica''s beauty. Suddenly, Carlos rewound the video and noticed the moment when the woman came out. -Come take a look, do you know this woman? Tomas and Diego immediately approached. -Has the CCTV arrived yet? How fast! -said Tomas. The two stood on either side of Carlos and looked intently at the woman on the screen. The woman looked just like what the waitress described, wearing sunsses, a white dress, a brand- name bag. Everything she was wearing was from famous brands. She should be some wealthy woman..... Indeed, her figure resembled that of Mica. Unlike Mica, who was wearing white clothes, the woman was wearing a white dress. -Do you know her? -Carlos asked in a cold tone. Because of the camera angle and the hat she was wearing, it was not clear. Diego hesitated a bit before speaking: -Sir, she, I think, must be Miss Athens. The Amelia from Grupo Atenas? Tomas was surprised and looked towards Carlos ... This woman was very obsessed with his brother, besides the previous incident.... It was normal that Carlos did not recognize her in the recording, because he never paid attention to her. However, Diego could not help but recognize her face since this woman always went uninvited to visit Carlos, Diego had to look for several reasons to reject her. After several times, he was already able to recognize her. Later, Carlos ordered that she not be allowed to enter the Grupo Aguayo building, the guards always refused her entry. She was able to solve the problem. She became very much in love with Carlos, although she had rejected him outright, she did not give up. Carlos frowned and asked: -Why is she there? -She should stop to eat too, it''s not umon to eat there either. Anyway, the Atenas family was a big family in Tdia. Besides, it was a family that had the support of Carlos? -Diego, find out a little," said Carlos, got up and left the studio. Mica had just taken a shower and was drying her hair in front of the dressing table. She didn''t hear Carlos knocking on the door until the man came in and saw her reflection in the mirror. She turned off the dryer, turned back as she tried to get up.... -I just wanted to look for you after I dried my hair.... Carlos let his hands rest on her shoulders to keep her sitting up, then leaned against the dressing table with one leg bent slightly at the knee so he could look down at her. He felt veryfortable as soon as he entered her room. He smelled the lovely scent mixed with the shampoo and shower gel, the aroma calmed his nerves. -To look for me? -Carlos asked with intention. -Well... to return your coat, besides, didn''t you tell me you had something to tell me? Carlos had some ointment in his hand, squeezed some and applied it gently to his cheek. Although the swelling had already diminished a little, without treatment it would still be visible tomorrow. Mica felt his fingers brushing her face gently, it seemed he was afraid to let her notice the pain. Looking into the concentrated and serious eyes, Mica thought she could hear her own heart beating. After applying the medicine, Carlos got up to leave her in her ce and picked up the dryer.... "Are you going to dry my hair?" Mica tried not to think too much and said with a red face: -No need, I can do it myself..... Carlos said nothing, just turned on the dryer and his long fingers ran through her hair.... She had very fine hair, very soft and it smelled good, like her person, it emitted a tempting fragrance.... Mica had a flushed face and looked at Carlos through the mirror without him noticing.... He was drying her hair with pursed lips, he was very concentrated. The way he touched her hair was very soft and careful. Mica''s heart was beating uncontrobly again. Having met Carlos was probably the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her, wasn''t it? Only the sound of blow-drying could be heard in the room. Before long, her hair was dry. When he turned off the dryer, everything became silent. Carlos looked at Mica, who was staring at him through the mirror, suddenly asked: -Have you fallen in love with me? Mica stood up suddenly, she did not know what to answer.... "How does ite up to you to ask that question so directly? I don''t know what to answer... " Carlosughed and asked quietly: -Does it seem too soon to you? Mica confirmed with her head down. But Carlos lifted her face, insisted she look at him and said: -Mica, can I kiss you? Mica blinked, her heart was beating fast, she felt her face was about to burn and asked: -Just one kiss...? What I meant was that, if it was just a kiss, it would be eptable? Carlosughed: -If you want something more, by me delighted. Mica''s face turned totally red, that''s not what he meant! She didn''t know how to exin it, an impulsivity made her stand on her tiptoes and kiss Carlos directly.... Carlos was only surprised for half a second before resuming his dominance of the situation. He wrapped his arms around her and supported Mica''s head with one hand. He scooched down a little All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. so that Mica didn''t have to stand on tiptoe. The man''s breath was very hot, his tongue ran over every corner of her mouth. The faint smell of wine made her feel like she was drunk, she had no strength. Carlos didn''t let go of her until Mica could hardly breathe and hugged him tightly in her arms. Chapter 75 : You, You, How Bad You Are... Chapter 75 : You, You, How Bad You Are... Chapter 75 : You, you, how bad you are... Mica felt dizzy. Too many things had happened today and she was very nervous, now she could finally rx.... Carlos Aguayo only noticed that the hands that surrounded her waist now suddenly stopped hugging him, the body between his arms also lost its strength... He hurried to hug her tightly. Mica''s face was not pale with her eyes closed. How could it be that she fell asleep like that? He carried her to the bed in a somersault, astonished that she fell asleep in that situation. After covering her well with the sheet, someone knocked on the door three times followed by silence. Carlos sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath looking at Mica. When he was calmer, he got up to open the door. Diego was outside, cell phone in hand, he said: -Sir, a call. The cell phone he had in his hand was his own, it was not what Carlos had left in the study. -Who is it? -Miss Noboa''s friend, Miss Gbert. Carlos picked up the cell phone without hesitation. Alba Gbert''s voice rang before he could say anything. -Mica is probably sleeping by now, right? Carlos frowned, but she confirmed it anyway. -Mr. Aguayo, I hesitated a lot before calling you, I didn''t know if you should tell her. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Alba waited a bit and noticed that the man wasn''t going to say anything, so she continued: -Mica is a person who takes a long time to open her mind and at the same time she is suspicious. Even so, she is willing to live in your house. That means she cares a lot about you. Carlos continued without saying anything. Alba got a little angry. -Are you listening to me? At least say something! -Miss Gbert, please get to the point. If you want to confirm my affection for her, then I can tell her that I only want her in my life. Alba was quite surprised. Her earlier worries had dissipated. Nevertheless, she had to take a few deep breaths before she could continue with her next words: -Two years ago, Mica went to hypnosis? Alba''s phrases reassured Carlos. Tomas had already inquired about this information, he just hadn''t asked about the details yet. He was thinking about whether she had some incurable disease that she didn''t even know about herself, and he was even nning to take her for a check-up tomorrow... -I already know that. Alba was a little surprised. It wasn''t hard at all to find that out with the ability she had, but did she even know why Mica went to hypnosis? She hesitated a little before speaking: -She no longer remembers why she went to hypnosis. Besides, it was to seal a memory. She doesn''t remember that she had gone to do that either.... Now Carlos was a little surprised and suddenly remembered that world-ss hypnotist. The ability of that hypnotist was incredible and unparalleled, that is, just like what Alba said, he was able to seal the memories he did not want to remember, unless certain specific conditions were given. Many people who wanted to forget the suffering came from everywhere to ask him to hypnotize them, but this person had an entric character, everything depended on his mood, it was not possible to hire him just because you had money! Apart from that, this hypnosis had a rather serious side effect. Those who underwent hypnosis could suffer from insomnia while others would fall asleep at a certain time. They would sleep very soundly. It was not normal sleep, but a lethargy, the kind from which they would not wake up at any kind of noise! Mica''s case belonged to the second case! Undoubtedly, what happened was due to the side effect of the hypnotist''s work. -Did you take her there? -Yes. Carlos understood and said no more. His silence surprised Alba. -You, don''t you want to ask me, why did she...? -She''s fine with me now, she''s fine. Since it''s something she wanted to forget, it''s normal that she doesn''t want to bring it up again. I respect her decision. Alba was shocked again at his words and scorned herself in her mind. She was so hesitant to make this call, but Carlos was much stronger than she imagined, physically and mentally! *** The next morning, before Mica opened her eyes, in her sleepy mind she thought: "Surely I am alone in bed. What I''m holding in my arms will be the stuffed animal..." -Mica, if you don''t let go of me, we''re going to bete for work. Carlos'' low, attractive voice rang over her head. Mica snapped her eyes open and saw Carlos'' smiling eyes. Her hands were sped around Carlos'' waist and she had her foot on top of his thigh. She was also wearing a nightgown and her skirt had been rolled up to her waist. Mica hurried to try to turn around and move away, she discovered that the man''s hand was hugging her across the back of her neck preventing her from moving.... "So, I slept on your arm all night, with such an intimate position?" Her face flushed and she murmured: -Why... why are you holding me? This is my room! -It was you who hugged me first and didn''t let me go. -I... It was true that he had a habit of sleeping with a pillow or something in his arms. So, did she really hug him thinking it was a pillow? With her face flushed, Mica wanted to get out of his embrace.... -Let go of me, didn''t you say we''re going to bete! Carlos got in a good mood looking at her red face and a hand was enough for her not to be able to get out of his embrace. -Yesterday you hugged me when you wanted to, now you throw me out, what a cold girl. Mica bit her lips and twisted her body to separate from him. She remembered thatst night she kissed Carlos taking the initiative and then, she fell asleep! Exactly, she remembered very clearly that she felt relieved and very soon she fell asleep. The speed with which she fell asleep and the quality of her sleep were truly formidable. Now her body only felt thefort of a restful sleep, she did not feel any difort in her body. Therefore, they probably simply slept together in each other''s arms? -If you move more, you don''t need to go to work today... Mica stopped and looked at Carlos, she did not understand the sentence. The man''s look was very deep, it seemed that he was holding something... Mica didn''t react for a long time... -You, you, you, you, how bad you are... -Mica murmured, but she didn''t dare to move even a little bit. Carlos spoke in a low voice: -Didn''t you know that men are quite easily aroused in the morning, my little girl? Mica blushed, not even daring to look at him. -How should I know! -No, I haven''t done anything.... -You don''t have to do anything, silly. As long as it''s you... Carlos pressed his face into Mica''s neck and inhaled deeply the fragrance of her body. He felt that all the efforts he made would be in vain because of the fragrance. It was really self-inflicted! Carlos had to let go of her, even though he didn''t want to and got up towards the bathroom.... In a while there was the sound of the shower. "Are you taking a cold shower?" Mica''s face turned red, but she was touched by his chivalry. In fact, she was a bit resistant if he now developed so far.... Chapter 76 : How You Can Hit People. Chapter 76 : How You Can Hit People. Chapter 76 : How you can hit people. Mica''s face was quite red. She hurried to get up and stood in front of the mirror. The p mark was already invisible. That ointment really worked well! She looked at her nightgown. It was a long style, reaching down to her calf. It was long sleeved, pink in color and adorned with small flowers. The neckline hadyers of ruffles. She liked it very much... "It''s a very conservative style-she says it like she''s tempting him!" When she arrived at thepany and sat at theputer drawing, she suddenly realized. Carlos was wearing pajamas this morning! In other words, she wasn''t hugging him when she fell asleep and wouldn''t let him leave, but the man showered in her room and then came upstairs in her bed! That''s why he was smiling on the way to take her to work, was heughing at her for being slow? Damn, he''s always ying a trick on me! "I thought I hadn''t slept alone before, could it be for real? Only he gets up earlier..." suspected Mica. -Mica! What are you doing? Are you tired? -Ana''s voice sounded next door and Mica came to her senses. Ana asked with a mischievous smile: -Thinking about your boyfriend? Mica''s face blushed a little, she exined, rambling: -No way, I was just thinking if I''ve turned off the tap at home or not? -Really? -Ana got excited, it seemed that she finally found someone to share her habit with -You know what, I also always go back to confirm if I''ve closed the door properly after leaving. Then in the middle of the way I can''t help thinking if I have turned off the gas or not. Oh, it''s torture... Mica looked at him as he talked non-stop, but what he had just said was echoing in her head.... It had already been ten days since she rented the house, she should be ready to live in by now, right? Would it be abusing Carlos'' trust too much to live in his house for so long? He was enjoying the fact that he drove her with a special car and Sofia''s attention to detail without thinking about anything? He was ashamed to think about it. Even if they became sweethearts she and Carlos, living together was still a distant topic. Besides, this man always slept next to her, in case someday.... Mica shook her head vigorously and stopped thinking about it. "I''ll look for a time to visit the apartment I rented!" -Mica, what''s wrong? Are you all right? -Well... "I got distracted again!" Mica was embarrassed and looked for an excuse: -Last night I didn''t rest well and the truth is I don''t feel well. I''m about to ask Kiki for an absence this afternoon. -Are you going to ask to be absent this afternoon? -Kiki passed by her stall and stopped to ask when she heard what Mica said. Ana was surprised, she caught him when he wasn''t working! She hurried toward her own stall. Mica stood up. -Yes, I have a personal matter this afternoon and would like to ask for half a day off. I already have the design drawing done and I can deliver it to you at noon before I leave work. Kiki smiled. -Okay, that''s fine, don''t be nervous, you can go! -Thank you very much, Kiki. Mica finished the drawing as nned. After giving it to Kiki, it was time to leave work. She left after having lunch with Ana in thepany canteen. When she left thepany, it was quite windy and cloudy. She took out her cell phone and called Adriana Elvira. After ringing for a while, the call was answered and Adriana''s voice had the usual high pitch: -My dear cousin Mica, now that things are going so well for you how do you remember to call me? Mica frowned and went straight to the point: -Let''s talk, about the orphanage, where did we meet? Adrianaughed: -That was quick. Okay, but now I don''t have time to go out because I''m busy with rehearsals. Come to mypany. -Okay. Adriana pointed to an address and Mica hailed a cab as she hung up the call. About 10 minutester, she arrived at the site. Brinte was one of Tdia''s top film and televisionpanies, a managementpany that current sess. Mica asked several people to find the showroom number 3 that Adriana mentioned. It was a veryrge and spacious room. The most striking thing was the catwalk that was in the middle, with bright lights of various colors that illuminated the models who were walking elegantly on it. All around were a few seated spectators and some who looked like leaders positioned in the seats with the best views. It was already past 12 o''clock, it should be break time, but there was still a lot of staff passing from one side to the other, the models were alsoing out in all kinds of clothes in shifts. They should be practicing hard for the performance on the twenty-first at Garzanca. Mica was outside the group looking everywhere, but she didn''t see Adriana, she wasn''t among the models on the catwalk either. In a ce like this there should be a ce for the models to change clothes and make up. After asking some people, Mica found the changing room in the back. Before entering, she heard a girl crying: -I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to..... -Do you think a few simple words will fix everything? I''m going up on the catwalk in a few days and you put me in a pair of shoes that don''t fit me, and now you tell me you didn''t mean to? You''re doing it on This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. purpose! It was Ivanna Aleman''s voice. There was a pping sound and immediately someone fell to the ground and the sound of an object hitting the ground.... The woman cried. Mica frowned, Ivanna really was arrogant no matter where she was! Mica wasn''t interested in getting involved in that matter. She came to find Adriana to set the record straight. Then she was supposed to be back at thepany before it was time to leave work because Carlos would be there in time to pick her up. However, when she saw the person who sat on the floor and was crying, covering her cheeks, she couldn''t just stand by and watch.... Mica approached and held out her hand: -Delfina, get up first..... Delfina Yepes was a colleague from Mica''s previous internship and was very nice to her. Moreover, she came out to speak for her when thepany wanted to fire her. Later on, thatpany could not function well due to problems with the management and many people left. Delfina also left that Japanesepany at that time. I didn''t expect that in the end she would end up working here and coincidentally end up with Ivanna. -Mica... Delfina covered her already swollen face, her eyes were also swollen from crying. Now, seeing someone she knew, she felt even sadder for what she suffered and more tears came to her eyes. All around were some models and staff, they were looking over there but could do nothing. Miss Aleman was the one with the power. The Alemans were the major sponsor of the show they were going to do at Garzanca on the 21st. They didn''t dare raise their voices to them, they would rather do less than more. Mica pulled a handkerchief from her bag and wiped Delfina''s tears. She looked up at Ivanna: -Ivanna, how can you hit people? Can''t you talk things out? Chapter 77 : Get On Your Knees And Plead Chapter 77 : Get On Your Knees And Plead Chapter 77 : Get on your knees and plead Ivanna Aleman sat in front of the dressing table. She was wearing exaggerated makeup, just as she walked the catwalk to the stage. When she saw that the person who entered was Mica, she looked at her with disdain. Adriana told her that Mica wasing, so she was not at all surprised by her appearance. -Mica said, "Mind your own business. I''m educating my clumsy assistant, what''s it got to do with you? Seeing that Mica did not understand the situation, some staff members who perhaps wanted to please Adriana, exined attentively: -Delfina got Ivanna''s shoe size wrong. -She is going to go on the catwalk in a few days, and due to the high price and that shoes of this brand are not usually seen in shop windows, they couldn''t find the right size either. -She has reserved it specially! -Shoes are very important for a model, whether the size is bigger or smaller can affect a lot. *** The more senior models sitting in front of other mirrors cast a slight nce this way in a dismissive manner. That would only happen to newbies like Ivanna, she was just taking advantage of it to strut her stuff. Mica saw that there was a shoebox on the floor, the two shoes with high heels fell out, lying on the floor. Afterforting Delfina for a while, she looked towards Ivanna and said: -Since the problem has already happened and is irremediable, then we have to think of a solution, hitting people doesn''t solve anything. -You... -You are lucky that you have already noticed it in advance, at least there are a few days left to prepare other styles. If you had realized it on the day of the performance, you''d be the one crying! The modelsughed and covered their mouths. They had long been fed up with Ivanna''s insolent ways, but they had to put up with it because of their family''s power. Now atst there was a person who taught this girl a lesson, they felt very much at ease. Evidently, Ivanna also heard theughter and stood up angrily, looking at Mica. -I don''t think there will be a second pair in all of Tdia! -Besides, I spent eighteen thousand euros for these shoes! And now because of this idiot, the shoes are half a size smaller! Are you trying to make me look bad? -she said looking at Delfina mercilessly and continued- -Would you like to solve the problem? Of course we can. Delfina,pensate me for the shoes! Give me eighteen thousand euros, now! Delfina''s face immediately turned pale. She couldn''t afford even eight thousand euros, let alone eighteen thousand! She cried again and pleaded: -Ivanna, I''m sorry, I really didn''t do it on purpose. I indicated on the list that the size was thirty-six, but I don''t know who changed it? -What nonsense are you talking about? You were in charge of all the paperwork, if it wasn''t you, who could it be? -You can''t pay, can you? Ask your best friend for help. She''s a gold digger, eighteen thousand is nothing for her! Ivanna spoke in an aggressive tone without forgetting to drag Mica into the mess. She also had a grudge against Mica. Today she entered her territory, she was asking for it! She wouldn''t let her get away unscathed so easily! From what she said, everyone noticed Mica. -What a pretty girl, how can she be a gold digger! -Oh, nowadays it''s normal in this society. If you are someone''s lover you can earn a few thousand euros, why work hard! Sure, look at the clothes she''s wearing, they''re branded too! *** Ivanna rejoiced to hear what people were saying. -Those are all gifts from her rich boyfriend, people are invincible when they have no shame! Delfina shook her head. She guessed that Mica and Ivanna should meet. Mica wanted to help her, how could she drag her into this situation? -Don''t talk nonsense, Mica is not like that! We were colleagues, I knew her very well, don''t listen to Ivanna''s nonsense! The people saw that Delfina was already in a difficult position, but she was still defending the woman called Mica, they understood that what Ivanna said was not true either. Then, they went back to observing Mica. -Seeing the elegant aura she has, it''s true that she doesn''t look like that kind of person. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. -Of course. On the other hand, Ivanna had a bad personality, only no one dared to say anything because of her status. Some more senior models who already had a more important position, were not afraid of Ivanna, and said something fairer: -Ivanna, don''t be like that, how can you nder people and insult them gratuitously? -Exactly, they are two different matters, you are talking about shoes, do not involve people who have nothing to do with it. Mica smiled at the two in a friendly way and said: -It''s okay. He likes to attack me with all kinds of insults every time he crosses me. Those who are clear are clear, it is not for him to judge my personality. People were convinced by the aura that Mica gave off. Ivanna became furious and projected her anger on Delfina. -Delfina, you have to pay me for the shoes today, besides, you''re fired! I don''t want such a stupid, dumb and clumsy assistant! Delfina hurried to let go of Mica''s hand and came closer pleading: -Ivanna, don''t fire me, please, I''ll go and look for them, to all the shop windows and I''ll find the thirty- sixth shoe! -Tdia is so big, if you''re going to look for them one by one, how long do I have to wait! Mica couldn''t stand it any longer. She pulled Delfina back to protect her and said to Ivanna: -Of course you have no problem firing her. You''re so hard to stand, I''m afraid you''ve already fired quite a few assistants, haven''t you? Peopleughed. A model of those who had just helped them spoke in a very kind tone: -She''s not too bad. Even though you''ve been here a little over a month, you''ve only fired about twenty assistants. Theughter from around them grew louder. Ivanna stamped her foot and spoke angrily: -Those assistants are as dumb as kiss-asses, they didn''t know how to do anything and they pissed me off. I paid them, don''t I have the right to fire them? That person continued: -Delfina is the one who has been there the longest and has the best temperament. She puts up with him quite a bit and never gets angry. Delfina''s face flushed, still, she begged Ivanna from behind Mica. -Ivanna, give me onest chance, I''m sure I''ll find your shoes! Ivanna answered with contempt: -Okay, I''ll give you onest chance. get down on your knees and beg! "If I can''t do anything with Mica, at least I can torture her friend!" thought Ivanna. She felt satisfied seeing Mica who was worried about Delfina. Mica felt sad for Delfina seeing her like this. She pulled her back and said in a low voice: -Ivanna is not a good person. Even though you can fix it this time, she will put more obstacles in your way in the future..... Delfina looked at him gratefully. -Thank you for helping me. But, Mica, I need money and this job. Chapter 78 : SheS A Bright Girl Chapter 78 : She''S A Bright Girl Chapter 78 : She''s a bright girl Mica understood the situation, Delfina Yepes should have some difficulty that''s why she was here putting up with everything. However, she still wanted to lend her a hand so she wouldn''t stay here suffering. -Delfina, how did you find the job in this ce? Are you going to give up your career? He clearly remembered that Delfina''s major wasputer science. Delfina ducked her head in embarrassment. -I''ve seen the offer on the Inte. The sry is very high, two thousand euros a month, that''s why I didn''t hold back? It was a really very attractive offer for a university student who had just graduated. -What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and get down on your knees and beg, you''ll make me think about it in the end! People couldn''t help but look away fearing that Ivanna Aleman would see the contempt in their eyes. This woman was really difficult to deal with. It was also a very unfortunate fact for Delfina to have such a boss. -Ivanna, I... Delfina was about to kneel down when Mica grabbed her and said in a loud voice looking at Ivanna: -I''ll find them for you! I''ll find them for you before you go out on the catwalk! She couldn''t see how she insulted her friend without doing anything in front of so many people! People were surprised, it seemed that they were really good friends, willing to jump for each other at such a critical moment! Delfina also got very emotional when she looked at Mica, she was so moved she wanted to cry. When Mica said these words, two people popped into her mind, one was Carlos Aguayo, and the other was Alba Gbert. It would be hard for her to ask Carlos to help her find shoes for women? But he could ask Alba! Because she knew the big brands very well and was familiar with many of the storefronts. She could save a lot of time if she could help him call and ask. Ivanna''s eyes sparkled, but she continued to maintain herposure. -How can I trust you to find them? -If I don''t find the shoes before you go out on the catwalk, I''ll pay you the eighteen thousand euros myself! Ivanna hesitated. -Either I''ll pay you the eighteen thousand, or you''ll get the shoes, in any case, you lose nothing, what do you think? Seeing that Mica was quite confident, she thought that she had a handsome and wealthy boyfriend, then she spoke aggressively: -It seems that Don Dinero is very generous with you! -Have you already forgotten, my ssmate? You gave me ten thousandst time, and I''ve been working all through college, having a savings of eight thousand is not unattainable either! -Mica replied, smiling coldly. Actually, she didn''t even have eight thousand euros, but Ivanna didn''t know that either. It didn''t hurt to brag a little once in a while! She was confident of finding the shoe size thirty-six. People looked at them in surprise. ssmate? And he gave her ten thousand euros? What on earth? She noticed people''s perplexity, Ivanna was afraid if Mica would say something that would tarnish her image, so she had to confirm: -Well, either eighteen thousand, or the shoes, you have to give them to me before I go out on the catwalk! "Either way, I won''t lose anything!" she thought. She also had a bunch of heels at home, and had no problem using any of them for the show. She was a VIP of all the important showcases in Tdia. When she came back, she would ask the stores not to give them the shoes - so Mica would have to cough up the money! Ivanna was happy with what she nned when an effeminate voice said: -What''s going on girls, only you are missing! The person who was speaking was not very tall, had slightly long hair, was wearing a suit with ck and white vertical stripes. She was scolding all the models except Ivanna with her little finger raised. -Look at you, you have to leave on the 21st,e on, hurry up! The models hurried to get up and headed for the stage. They had forgotten the important things while watching the show. Ivanna looked at Delfina: -Bring me a shoe in my size first! Delfina looked at Mica apologetically and went to get the shoes for Ivanna. Mica nodded understandingly and let her do her job first. At the same time, she looked around for Adriana Elvira. Eric saw that everyone was getting ready to go on stage, so he was going back to the front. When he turned his gaze, he saw Mica and got excited! She was a very bright girl! Her height and proportion were so perfect! Her features were so delicate that even God would be jealous, especially the eyes, so radiant! Her aura was unique and enchanting. With a casual posture she could already attract people. If this person were to walk the runway, she would be the most eye-catching! Eric was very excited. It was the feeling that suddenly arose when he found a rare talent. He won''t be able to let the girl go!Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. It had been a while since he had carried a model because he couldn''t find one that motivated him, but this girl, she made him feel like he could take her to the top of the modeling career..... Eric approached, tried to contain his excitement and walked towards Mica with his friendliest smile. With a turn of her head, Mica saw this man in a pinstripe suit approach her with a rare smile, she took a few steps back hurriedly. -Hello, beautiful! Eric felt a little sad when he saw her actions, but quickly smiled again. -Excuse me, beautiful, did youe here for an interview to be our model? Seeing that he was staring at her, and confirmed that he was talking to her, Mica shook her head. -No, I came here to look for a person. This man not only spoke in an effeminate manner, but his appearance was also, quite, feminine. He had narrow eyes, a pretty nose and sexy lips. He was very pretty, and he was a man! In a way he reminded her of Carlos Aguayo''s face, when he was serious, when he was smiling, and when he was teasing her? Either way he was better looking than this man! Eric felt discouraged again when he saw someone distracted by seeing his perfect face. -Ehem. He faked a cough to get Mica''s attention. He was a little disappointed, but adjusted the emotion quickly. He kept the smile he thought was the most perfect. -So, are you interested in bing a model? -I''m sorry, I''m not interested," Mica answered politely. He saw an aura of freshness in Mica, Eric was more eager to add her to his modeling team. She could be attractive as a rose, but she could also be elegant as a lily. She was really very charming.... She had so many possibilities! -Give it some thought, honey. Your temperament fits perfectly with our scenario, I''d like to hire you directly! Mica didn''t understand anything he was saying, besides the word "darling" made her ufortable. She answered him politely: -Thanks, but really no.... -Mr. Eric! Chapter 79 : I WonT Let You Bully Me Anymore! Chapter 79 : I Won''T Let You Bully Me Anymore! Chapter 79 : I won''t let you bully me anymore! Adriana suddenly emerged and greeted Eric with surprise. She had been in a more secluded position the whole time, observing what happened. She hadn''t expected that Eric was going to chat with Mica. What had she heard, that Eric was trying to get her to join? Did he even sign a contract with her directly? Anyone from Brinte wanted to be Eric''s exclusive model. Who was the most popr model trainer and had taught the best models in three consecutive modeling contests. "What qualifications Mica have to be favored by Eric?" Adriana had always wanted to be his apprentice, but in recent years she had not taught any models, but organized the stage work. She tried not to show her insane jealousy..... Eric cast a nce at Adriana and nodded. And then he looked back at Mica: -Honey, you don''t think so anymore? -No, thank you. Adriana was furious, but she still wanted to make a good impression on Eric. -Mr. Eric, she''s not in the business of.... If she said that, it would expose that she had eavesdropped, so she hastened to say: -She''s not in the business of working here, and we have something to talk about. Mica, we sat there. Smiling at Eric, she left with Mica. Eric watched the backs of the two, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Your name is Mica... " Being ushered into a mini conference room by Adriana, Mica immediately shook off his hand. Adriana merely shot her a nk stare and sat down in a chair. Taking a seat across from her, Mica said: -What do you want to aplish to stop hurting the orphanage? Adriana looked at her manicure and gave her a disdainful look: -Hey, it looks like your boyfriend treats you well. -Nothing to do with you. "She''s getting even grumpier!" Adriana had to admit that she had be more confident and more attractive. She became jealous. -I advise you not to be a rich man''s ything and end up abandoned! -Isn''t that what you want? Adriana hoped so much. So there was a pause before continuing: -How can it be. I care about you. Mica used indifferently: -Don''t lie to me! You drugged me and sent me to Mr. Gallo. -nning to give me to some old man as a lover. -You feel no shame in doing bad things with Marcos. The words made Adriana stand up. She said loudly: -Don''t talk nonsense! I''m helping you and you don''t even appreciate it! -Don''t pretend here! -Fuck! Adriana was so angry that she wanted to p her..... Mica stood up and stopped her: -I won''t let you bully me anymore! -Watch what you''re doing! What little affection she felt for Los Elvira had vanished since Adriana had nned to hurt her and prevent her from getting a job. "I will not be bullied by her again!" Adriana looked into Mica''s eyes, and in her gaze there was neither weakness, nor blinking, but a determination that made Adriana unconsciously pull her hand away. Since all her colleagues were out, she had to take care of her hard-earned image. Rubbing her wrist, Adriana sat back down and continued: -The corresponding family conditions are the basis of a rtionship and I suggest you don''t waste your time. Those rich people treat you like a toy! Mica frowned and looked at Adriana. "He''s just trying to convince me to leave Carlos!" "Could it be thatst night''s affair was rted to Adriana?" If it wasn''t, how could it be that the dean was calling him at that hour? If it was Adriana calling, even if Mica answered, she wouldn''t have spoken to her for two minutes! Mica looked at Adriana and interrupted her words: -Where were youst night? Although Adriana didn''t understand why she was suddenly asking, she answered: -What? I was here rehearsing until ten o''clock. Looking at his expression, it didn''t look like he was lying. "I think I''m overthinking it." "Mr. Gallo also said that thest order was not made with Grupo Elvira, so there should be no more rtions." -Did you tell the dean to call me? Adriana was getting a little impatient: -I don''t care who she called! Does she still think you''re so powerful? Elvira Group no longer... Adriana''s words paused violently, and then continued very quickly: -Anyway, that piece ofnd of the orphanage, I have to sell it, no negotiation! Mica''s heart beat faster at that moment, but was still trapped by what she said next: -Do you have to? Those children are so pitiful, and the orphanage doesn''t have a lot of funds..... -That''s none of my business. If you feel sorry for them, you can buy thatnd, for a price of eight hundred thousand euros! In fact, the buyer''s starting price was six hundred thousand, but she deliberately said two hundred thousand more. Mica had thought about it because buying thatnd was the best way. But, so much money... In any case, she would not ask Carlos for it. Nor could she go to Alba, who didn''t have that much money. Adriana had a few moments ofcency.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. She knew well the nature of Mica.... It was impossible that Mica could ask her generous boyfriend. And it was impossible for Mica to have so much money! For who was her boyfriend? He must have been a big shot in Tdia, since he could hire a bigwyer like Ivan Morillo! So she got more jealous - she had to keep torturing her! What qualification did Mica have to be able to count on so much! It would definitely make her have nothing! Chapter 80 : This Trip Was A Waste Of Time. Chapter 80 : This Trip Was A Waste Of Time. Chapter 80 : This trip was a waste of time. Adriana gave Mica a fierce look and spoke condescendingly: -If you beg me with a better attitude, I can give you a few days to find a ce before you move. -The orphanage is your home, without that director taking you in, you would have died of cold. -Don''t dream that you can marry a rich man! Mica looked at him and said: -It''s true that I was an orphan, but I grew up healthy. unlike some person who has everything but is so bad! Adriana didn''t believe he was referring to her, and continued: -Either you hand over eight hundred thousand euros, or you hurry up and tell that old woman to leave with those wretches! I''ll only give you half a month''s time, and when that time is up, blow them all away! Seeing how determined she was, Mica bit her lip. "This trip is a waste of time." "I''d better hurry and find out if there was a suitable ce to move to." Mica stepped out of the conference room. Before she could take a few steps, she ran into Delfina. She hurriedly ran up to Mica. -Mica, I''m sorry I dragged you into this. I''m going to the counter after work. Delfina was so grateful that her eyes were red. Mica nodded andforted her: -It''s okay. I''m sure we''ll find it. A friend of mine knows the counter assistant well. Don''t worry. Delfina nodded frequently, but was still worried: -What should I do if I can''t find him? You have to take him on stage..... I don''t have so much money and I can''t let you pay for me..... Delfina began to cry. Holding her shoulders, Mica said patiently: -I''m sure Ivanna has prepared other shoes. You don''t have to worry. She still has that pair with you, right? Delfina nodded. -And you''ve kept the ticket, haven''t you? Delfina nodded too, but her heart couldn''t help but beat faster. Mica lowered her voice: -These kinds of things from the big brands can be returned as long as they are not damaged and within the stipted time. Only then did Delfina sit back with a sigh of relief, rxing. -Mica, thank you very much..... Mica also sat down next to her and asked with concern: -Now can you tell me why you need so much money and this job? She hesitated for a while, but still could not answer. -It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to talk about it. Tell me when you want to. Let''s work together on the shoe search,e on. Delfina nodded vigorously. After asking her for the code of her shoes, Mica left Brinte. Waiting for a cab, the wind was stronger and the sky was so cloudy that it looked like it was going to make a heavy rainter. She left a message for Alba on Whatsapp about what had happened and how she needed her help. After that, Mica looked in her purse for the phone number of the piano teacher she had met, when she was shopping at the mall with Ana. She always remembered what her teacher said, but she was too busy to pay attention to it. What Adriana had just said, even though she had stopped, Mica still noticed something wrong. What had happened before, she wanted to find out. Mica confirmed the time and called her. She answered quickly. The teacher was delighted to receive her call, and immediately gave her the address. Ten minutester, Mica got out of the cab and saw a three-story white house with a garden. The teacher was standing in front of the door, looking out, and when she saw Mica, she rushed to greet her. She was wearing a blue fitted skirt with a white tunic, and with a slightly blessed figure, but she looked even more gracious. -It''s been a long time, Mica. Mica looked at her. The smile on her face was very sincere, as if she were seeing an old friend.... -Professor, I''m sorry to bother you. -I''d so much like you toe and chat with me. She took Mica''s hand and went into the courtyard. The garden was nted with flowers and nts, which was very nice andfortable. The location was very good. In this residential area, it was rich to have such a house. Upon entering the house, it was warmly decorated. The most striking thing was a piano under the revolving staircase. -Sit down on the sofa and I''ll make you some tea. After saying this, she went to the kitchen. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. As she answered him, Mica stared at the piano, with inexplicable emotions.... The teacher came out with a smiling cup and saw Mica looking at that piano, the smile on her face became even stronger. "She is my favorite student, and seeing the piano, she can''t look away, hahaha." She put the ss on the table and dragged Mica over to the piano. Mica was a little surprised: -Teacher... -Come on, give it a try. The best you know is Autumn Whispers. Staring at the keys, her heart lurched with unfamiliar emotions, and her arm lifted with her consciousness. But she didn''t remember that she knew how to y the piano! She looked at the teacher, whose eyes were full of encouragement and expectation. She lowered her head and began to y..... The moment the melodious sound of the piano came, Mica closed her eyes. Her fingers jumped on the keys, and even her arms and body all swayed to the rhythm.... In Mica''s mind shed a strange but familiar image.... In the piano room, there was a piano, a long-haired girl in a white dress, practicing, and a teacher standing next to the piano, watching her with a smile.... At the door, there was a middle-aged man and woman, leaning in to look at the girl with joy.... The girl seemed very happy and engaged more seriously in her practice, her little fingers jumping nimbly over the keys, her eyes closed and her face delighted.... As the song closed, the girl opened her eyes and saw her teacher nodding with satisfaction and saying softly: -Mica, well done! Chapter 81 : Micaela, Are You Crazy? Chapter 81 : Mica, Are You Crazy? Chapter 81 : Mica, are you crazy? Mica opened her eyes and found the voice in her ears was real, the teacher standing next to the piano, smiling and looking full of gratitude.... *** It was almost 6 o''clock and it was raining. Diego sat in the driver''s seat, slid his phone to look at the weather forecast and said: -It''s going to rain harder. He parked the car at an intersection to meet Mica. Diego looked in the rearview mirror. "Mr. Aguayo''s temperament is getting better and better. Always the others wait for him, now he patiently waits for Mica." "He doesn''t even make a phone call, he just quietly takes care of business." Carlos was in the back seat, stopping to read the documents, and looked at the time. "Normally, Micaes down on time, why was she sote today?" He decided to call her. But no one answered. The past from the previous night urred to him, so he immediately opened the location of his phone and discovered that he was actually not at thepany, but in Champagne District. "Why is he there?" Carlos furrowed his eyebrows and immediately exined to Diego: -Let''s go to Distrito Champagne! Diego asked no questions and immediately headed there. The rain was getting heavier and the windshield wipers were working diligently. Carlos continued to call out to her, but no one answered.... He was restless again. "I really must prepare a bodyguard for her!" There were few people on the road and the rain blocked everyone''s view. But when Mica appeared on the street corner, like an errant soul, Carlos still recognized her at a nce.... -Stop the car! Carlos almost shouted. Seeing her disoriented image, his heart ached enormously. "What has she suffered?" Diego braked unconsciously. It was raining heavily and he just stared at the road in front of him, oblivious to the situation on either side. He didn''t notice Mica until Carlos told him to stop. Before the car stopped, Carlos had already opened the car door and ran out. -Mica, are you crazy? Carlos was angry that she didn''t know how to take care of herself, walking in the pouring rain. He had told her many times to call him if something happened. Why didn''t she do it? "Why do you have to deal with it yourself?" Carlos grabbed her arm and pulled her into the car. In less than a minute, Carlos wasn''t spared from getting wet. Although angry, he still couldn''t ignore her, wiping her hair with a towel immediately. He hurried to take off his jacket, wrapped around her and Diego turned on the heater quickly. This scene was all too familiar... Like a mindless puppet, Mica let Carlos rub her hair, very sad. Diego turned the car around and came back. -Mica! Carlos called out to her, heartbroken and angry at the same time, not knowing what to do with her. Only then Mica looked up, looked at him and murmured: -It''s you, Carlos.... She had just recognized him... If it wasn''t him, but someone else, she would have been easily taken away. Carlos was even more furious! Suddenly, Mica threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist. The emotions she had been holding back seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and she finally cried.... Carlos froze, weakening a little in anger, hugged her and let her cry. The car stopped in Yunalvian and the rain became even heavier. It was very wet anyway, Carlos pushed the car door, picked up Mica in his arms and ran out. "What happened?" Sofia and the maids looked at Mr. Aguayo, once again, carrying Mica back in the rain.... -What happened? Sofia watched as Sr. Aguayo hurried up the stairs and hurried to ask Diego, who was entering behind her. -I don''t know. Mr. Aguayo found Miss Noboa in the Champagne District. She continued to cry and said nothing.... Sofia hurried to follow him upstairs. ording to thest experience, Mr. Aguayo was going to ask her to change Ms. Noboa''s clothes.... When she reached the bedroom door, the door mmed shut! Sofia stopped in her tracks and reddened. "Hey, I must not interfere. Right now, Mr. Aguayo can do it .... " Carlos took Mica straight to the bathroom. He put her in the bathtub, turned on the hot water, took off her clothes..... The white shirt, being wet, showed off her perfect figure. Carlos'' breath burned a few degrees with the movement. Mica was sobbing and sitting in the tub, watching a pair ofrge hands busy on her chest. Suddenly she came to her senses and shrieked to cover from his chest. She would almost have exposed herself to him! She stared at Carlos, only to discover that he too was a mess, his hair and clothes wet from the rain. Micaelowered his head and said: -Carlos, I''ll do it myself..... Carlos withdrew his hand, still squatting by the bathtub, and said: -Okay. Mica blushed heavily and said: -Get out first. -This is my room, why should I get out! He got up, and started to untie his shirt. Mica gawked and watched him take off the only ck shirt quickly, revealing the figure. How sexy... Seeing that he was ready to unbuckle his belt.... Mica hurried to get up and shouted: -Carlos, wait! I''m going out! Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Carlos held her to prevent her from getting up, so Mica sat in the hot water with her hands covering her chest while Carlos was naked, with his hands on Mica''s shoulders. -Let''s take a shower together! Mica froze and looked at him. "Carlos must be joking. He''s always been a gentleman." His gaze was determined, making her speechless. Mica''s heart beat faster and she noticed that in his gaze there was still a very evident displeasure. "He, is he angry?" "Why?" The water in the tub was overflowing, and the sound of rattling water could be heard..... Chapter 82 : Your Uncles And Their Daughter, All Three Were Staying At Your House! Chapter 82 : Your Uncles And Their Daughter, All Three Were Staying At Your House! Chapter 82 : Your uncles and their daughter, all three were staying at your house! Mica was a little nervous and even a little incoherent: -I''m sorry. I took the afternoon off, thinking of going back to the office to wait for you before work.... "Mica, what were you doing in that neighborhood?" "Why did you get wet in the rain?" "And why did you cry so much?" "Why didn''t you call me to pick you up?" Carlos really wanted to ask her, but when he saw her so anxious without knowing how to exin, he felt even sadder.... "Why don''t you trust me?" "Am I not sincere enough?" Mica didn''t know what else to exin, she bit her lip and looked at him. -I''m leaving and you soak in hot water. The bathrobe is hanging there. After saying that, Carlos left in disappointment, closing the bathroom door. Mica paused before getting up, taking off her clothes and plunging back into the hot water. She could see the loss in his gaze, but she couldn''t open her mouth. The steam choked her and she took a deep breath. She wasn''t ready to tell him about her messy life, because in her heart, she still had an inferiorityplex. How was she going to tell him something confusing to her? She hadn''t told anyone, and she didn''t know how to talk about it.... When she was ying the piano at her teacher''s house, she had a vague image of her parents in her mind, especially her mother''s warm smile. But at the thought that they had died, she suddenly felt an enormous sadness. Once again, her teacher''s words echoed in her mind: -I have been teaching you for three years, and I have also been in and out of your house for three years. I can confirm that the house belongs to your father! Your father ran Grupo Noboa! Your uncles and his daughter, all three of them stayed at your house.... What she said and what Tia Marta had told her werepletely different. Mica was confused and surprised. "How much had my aunt lied to me?" "I couldn''t be more confused!" If she believed the teacher, then the current Grupo Elvira should have been hers, and Aunt Marta would be a thief! Adriana snatched the house, the piano and Marcos from her..... -I have a good life and Ick nothing. I can''t understand your life that you have nothing.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Adriana''s proud voice rang in her mind.... It turns out that it was all because of her! Fortunately, she had already withdrawn from the rtionship with Marcos, and she had met Carlos.... "Carlos... " Suddenly she knew how she felt! When I saw Carlos in the car, she instantly rxed because she found someone she could trust. So she couldn''t help but cry... She still counted on Carlos in this world! Although he had never promised anything, his actions had always told her that he would be by her side forever. Mica rose from the water, got out of the tub, put on the ample bathrobe, and hurried out barefoot. "He must be in the study!" She pushed open the door and sure enough, she was standing in front of the window in another ck shirt. When she heard a sound, she turned around.... Carlos was surprised to see Mica walking quickly towards him.... Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, Carlos suddenly felt joy, simply because, she was looking at him and directing him towards him.... He opened his arms, and she jumped into his arms.... What a surprise! A moment of frustration almost made it difficult for him to breathe, and the next moment, holding her fragrant body, he felt like he was in heaven! -Carlos... -What? -Can you help me? -Of course. -You''re not asking me what you''re going to help? -Anything! Carlos hugged her tightly, feeling a great satisfaction, which he had never experienced before. She was very impressed. Her face was pressed against his chest, and she felt him breathing heavily, her heart was beating fast and her temperature was high. Thinking that he had also be wet, she hastened to ask him urgently: -Do you have a fever? She stroked his forehead.... Looking at her snow-white neck, and the cleavage slightly opened by the movement, Carlos was even more fascinated. Mica blushed and hastily grabbed the too wide cor of her robe.... "I''m in too much of a hurry. I should go back to the bedroom to change my clothes." She was wearing nothing but a bathrobe..... Carlos looked at her, in a very good mood: -Are you feeling shy now? Mica didn''t speak, just bit her lips, and looked at her feet. Only then Carlos saw that she was barefoot, and hurried to carry her in his arms to her room, cing her gently on the bed. Mica sat up nervously, her heart beating rapidly. Carlos wrapped a quilt around her, and then sat behind her, holding her, her head resting on his shoulder.... Outside the window, the wind was blowing and it was raining, but the image inside was romantic.... Mica leaned into Carlos'' arms, feeling especially warm. She raised her head slightly, met his gaze, which filled her with tenderness. -Why did you cry? Mica bowed her head, bit her lips, took a deep breath and spoke to him slowly. From her parents, the car ident and the orphanage to the adoption by Los Elvira.... Mica told in a sad voice. She remembered her parents, who loved her very much. That strange and familiar affection suddenly struck her heart. But she had forgotten them and had not even kept all that her parents left... When Carlos came closer and kissed her, Mica suddenly becamefortable and Carlos asked in a low voice: -So, do you remember them now? -No... Mica blushed, lowered her head and kept talking. Chapter 83 : Mr. Aguayo Is So Considerate Chapter 83 : Mr. Aguayo Is So Considerate Chapter 83 : Mr. Aguayo is so considerate -Last time, when I was shopping with Ana, I ran into my childhood piano teacher and she told me many things. I even yed the piano at her house! Talking about this, she eagerly broke away from Carlos'' arms and made a piano ying posture. -I close my eyes and y as naturally as if my hands had consciousness. How incredible! She was like a conceited child showing off, waiting for the praise. -How versatile you are! Mica lowered her head shyly and joyfully. Carlos rubbed her hair and found it still wet, so he dried it with a hairdryer. Looking at him seriously, she couldn''t help but make her heart beat faster. After he finished, he put down the dryer, sat down next to Mica and motioned for her to continue. She paused, looked at him seriously and said: -Help me find out my origins and my parents, if I have any other rtives? I want to know everything about myself. -I agree. Carlos agreed and then asked: -So you don''t want to know everything about me? She had never asked anything about him. She wasn''t even curious? Instead, Mica suddenly lowered her head. What his identity was, she had always avoided wanting to know. The more she knew, the more it would humble her, so she wasn''t ready to find out about it.... After a moment''s thought, Mica answered quietly: -It is enough for me to know that you are Carlos. She pleased him by saying this. -I mean, don''t you care about my status, as long as it''s me? Immediately, Mica became shy, and was speechless. Just then, Sofia''s voice rang out: -Mrs. Noboa, your phone is still ringing. Mica rushed to try to open the door, but Carlos stopped her: -Go change your clothes. Mica blushed, hurried to the closet to get her clothes and went into the bathroom. Carlos opened the door and Sofia hurried to hand him the phone. -Mr. Aguayo, dinner is ready. -Okay. Carlos nodded and picked up the phone as Sofia left. The word Alba appeared on the screen. Carlos slid the answer button and heard Alba''s voice over the microphone. -Mica, I called all the Tdia counters, but there is no 36-yard Chanel model. I guess Ivanna spoke to them in advance. We have to go to a more powerful person to do it? Carlos frowned. "Mica was looking for Chanel shoes? Ivanna?" -Hello? Mica, are you listening? This damnwork. Thinking the signal wasn''t working, Alba hung up the phone. Carlos put the phone on the table, while Mica changed her clothes and left the bathroom. The phone rang again. -He came downstairs for dinner after answering the phone. -Yes! Mica answered as she picked up the phone. Carlos turned to leave. -Alba. -Mica, I''m having a hard time calling you. Nine out of ten don''t answer, and one has a bad signal! Mica was embarrassed. She didn''t pay attention to the phone, probably because the bag was put in Carlos'' car first, and then someone brought it and put it downstairs. -I''m sorry, did you find the shoes? Alba repeated what she had just said and then sighed with Mica. -Ivanna is really abominable. You can go to Carlos. He definitely has a better idea than I do! Mica bit her lip, a little shyly, and after speaking a few words, she hung up the phone and hurried downstairs. Carlos was waiting to have dinner with her. The two were about to eat when they heard Toms'' voice. -It''s raining! He was wearing a suit and his hair was neatlybed. He looked like he was going to a banquet. Dear brother and sister-inw, why didn''t you call me for dinner! When she heard how he addressed her, Mica immediately became speechless. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Carlos replied indifferently: -Didn''t youe without an invitation? Tomas also had a house in Yunalvian, which was not that far from here. Sofia hurried to bring new dishes. -This is for you. -Thank you. I prefer to eat with my brother and sister-inw. Tomas examined the tes and continued: -Sofia, is there a new chef? How are the dishes different? Why are there carrots? It seemed like the new chef needs to be better trained. Mica looked at Sofia with confusion - they were all delicious to her! Sofia smiled and exined: -All of these are prepared ording to Miss Noboa''s preference. Now Mica was surprised! "Have they been prepared for me?" It was not surprising that they were all dishes she liked. But she hadn''t spoken to Carlos about her preference.... -Mr. Aguayo is so considerate that every time we eat, he pays attention to Miss Noboa''s preference and constantly asks the chef to improve the dishes. You should learn from him to find a girlfriend! Tomas could not imagine and after a long while said: -Madre mia mia! A mouthful of soup almost spilled out of Mica''s mouth.... Carlos patted her back, handing her a tissue, before looking at his brother and pretending to be angry: -Eat and get out quickly. Tomas hastened to change the subject: -Sofia, you know quite a lot! Sofia, smiled and whispered to him: -Of course, I know much more than that! She said, pointing at Carlos and Mica. Chapter 84 : What Was His Motive For Investigating Her? Chapter 84 : What Was His Motive For Investigating Her? Chapter 84 : What was his motive for investigating her? Tomas saw Carlos preparing a piece of fish for Mica, not forgetting to remind her to be careful with the bones.... Tomas finally stopped saying and ate in silence.... "Have dinner with Mica at home before leaving for Mr. Campos'' cocktail party, my big brother is too fond of her!" After eating, Mica returned to her room, while the two brothers entered the study. -Carlos, I have clearly discovered that Amelia went to dinner and had a date with several rich girls. But she probably had something in between, so she left first. -And Roberto Gallo, he tried to flirt with Mica on impulse, but he has been banished from Tdia. Carlos listened to him as he looked up the information Diego had given him earlier and packed it up to give to Mica tomorrow. -As for Mica, I found out more or less the same as you, and the reason she went to hypnosis, the hypnotist did not mention a word about it, saying out of professional ethics. Carlos nodded, expressing his understanding. -Well, no more checking. Now that she was honest with him, so he didn''t care about her former life. As long as he was by her side. -Then, let''s go to Mr. Campos'' banquet now and in the meantime, let''s finalize the details of the contract. Tomas said he had purposelye in formal clothes. Since arge order was negotiated this month, Mr. Campos wanted to hold a banquet in order to show gratitude. He invited Carlos and waited until he was free to confirm the time, so Carlos had to ept and decided to go to finalize the details of the contract. -Well, wait for me downstairs.... He still had to go put on his formal clothes. Mica went to wash her hair again and blew it out just in time to see Carlos barging in with a suit jacket slung over his arm. "Are you going out again?" Carlos stood in front of her and said: -I have a party to attend and will be back soon. Get some rest soon, okay? -All right, take care of yourself. Carlos pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead before leaving. Micay on the pillow with a red face. After a while, she got up. "What was I supposed to do? The shoes Delfina was looking for are not avable, can I just ask Carlos for help?" He looked at the time, it was still very early, so he decided to read to the study. Looking around the spacious room. "Other than sleeping and eating, Carlos spends most of his time in this room." She suddenly wanted to sit at his desk. He wasn''t there anyway.... She walked over to sit in his leather chair. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Hey, it''s quitefortable to sit on this valuable stool." Then he nced at the papers on the table, but then I saw that they were actually papers about his life. Mica was surprised and flipped through them-there were dozens of pages! How long had she been talking to him? Two hours? It was impossible that he had found out so clearly andpiled all the information so quickly. For a while, Mica could not say what she felt in her heart. The appeal of the document was so great that she couldn''t help but read it first. She read it very carefully. It turned out that she and her parents had moved from Zyalen Province and joined her uncles. Her father developed quickly in Tdia. He bought a vi and brought Tia Marta''s family to live together, and got her uncles to join Grupo Noboa. Everything was going well, but the car ident changed everything. Her parents were dead, she lost her memory and had no family in Tdia. She woke up in the hospital and was ced in an orphanage, and Tia Marta took over everything that should have been hers! She was shocked when she heard her teacher tell her in the afternoon, and now that she was reading it again, it confirmed to her that it was all true. Mica was furious. "How could they be so shameless!" From the moment she returned to that vi, Adriana, who was two years older than her, scolded her: - "Orphan, here in my house! If it weren''t that my mother took you in, you''d be starving! -You are so miserable! -Mica, you should be grateful to us. She was like a maid in her house. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It was obvious that they had taken everything that belonged to her, and they were trying to give her to an old man and wanted to destroy her! She went back to her room and changed her clothes. She had to find them to tell them the truth. When she went downstairs, Sofia was still in the hall. -Sofia, I want to go back to my old house. Mr. Driver is he off work yet? Surprised, Sofia looked at the rain outside and asked with concern: -Miss Noboa, must you leave now? Mica nodded. She had to go and ask. She would be crazy to stay in her room. -Have you talked to Mr. Aguayo? Mica paused. "I guess he must have checked up on me before." If he hadn''t suddenly gone to the studio, she would never have known. This move of his caused Mica to balk a little. "What is your motive for investigating me?" -All right, I''ll be back soon. Seeing his anxious look, Sofia feared he was in a hurry and dared not dy. So she hurried to call the driver and exined that he should wait until they returned together. How he dared to return alone. The rain was less than before and there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road. He followed the direction Mica had said and soon arrived at the destination. Chapter 85 : How Noble Is Your Status? Chapter 85 : How Noble Is Your Status? Chapter 85 : How noble is your status? The car stopped in front of the vi of Los Elvira. Mica looked at the house through the car window, she felt so guilty. "I''m sorry, Papa, Mama. I didn''t protect our house well.... " She felt a familiar one, it turned out that this house was originally her home! As Mica prepared to get out of the car, the driver handed her an umbre and respectfully said: -Srta. Noboa, I''ll wait for you here. Mica took the umbre and was about to open the door when a car suddenly stopped in front of her. Adriana and Marta got out of the vi, opened the back seat, sat down and drove straight away. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Mica frowned and hurried to call Adriana, but hung up. She called back and still hung up. Mica looked at the car in front of her, bit her lip and gave instructions: -Mr. Driver, follow that car. The person I am looking for is there. The driver hurried to start the car to follow. "I have to ask all questions today, otherwise I can''t sleep well." He stopped in front of a huge house with beautiful iron gates. Across thewn, there was an extraordinarily luxurious vi with bright lights. A row of uniformed men stood on either side of the gate, and one of them stepped forward in front of the car in which Adriana was sitting. She handed him something and he read it, allowing her to enter. "Is an invitation needed?" -Mrs. Noboa, do you need toe in? -Can I? -Of course. No one dares to stop you. Mica was even more surprised. -Why? I don''t have an invitation. -Let''s see. The driver drove at a slower speed. When the waiter tried to stop them to check the invitation, he was pulled over by the other waiter, who bowed respectfully, gesturing to invite him in. The man who had wanted to stop the car hurried to do the same. After the car had entered, he asked the man next to him, confused: -Who is inside? Why don''t you check the invitation? Aren''t you afraid that there are reporters? The man patted him on the back: -You haven''t looked carefully at the photos Mr. Campos sent, have you? That car is one of the ones Mr. Campos exined, a limited edition Porsche, worth more than two million euros. That''s Mr. Aguayo''s car! How could he bring the reporters! -You are right! However, Mr. Aguayo is so powerful and rich, why doesn''t he want to be denounced? Maybe because he is so ugly? Hahaha. He was about to answer when he saw the owner of the vi, the organizer of the banquet, Mr. Campos, approaching in a hurry with an umbre. The waiters bent down and greeted him. Mr. Campos looked anxiously outside, muttering: -Why hasn''t Mr. Aguayoe yet? -Mr. Campos, Mr. Aguayo has alreadye in.... -Bullshit! I just came out of the corridor and I haven''t seen him at all. Fortunately he hasn''t arrived yet, I have to go out and greet him personally to make him seem more sincere! -I''m not lying. Didn''t he specifically exin some models? The limited edition Porsche, the only one in all of Tdia, just came in recently. Mr. Campos was surprised, turned around hurriedly to enter, but saw a ck car driving past. Mr. Campos noticed it. "Isn''t this Mr. Aguayo''s car?" He hurried to wave: -Mr. Aguayo, good evening! Mr. Campos saw two people sitting in the back seat, and immediately reacted that they were the Aguayo''s two sons. -It is an honor to have you both here. The meeting room is ready. Let''s go. The waiters couldn''t wait to see what Mr. Aguayo looked like. When they saw him, they were stunned until the car was out of sight.... My God, how beautiful Mr. Aguayo was! Seeing Sr. Campos personally leading the way, that waiter reacted. "Mr. Aguayo just arrived, and that car in front must be reporters, I''m going to get them!" Mica entered and asked the question: -Do you think Carlos is in the car? "Miss Noboa, you can just call Mr. Aguayo by name." As the driver to pick up and drop off Mica, he was very proud. -Miss Noboa, this car looks very ordinary, but it is a limited edition Porsche, worth more than two million euros. Only Mr. Aguayo has one in all of Tdia! Well, when they see this car, they think Mr. Aguayo is. -Mr. Aguayo knows you don''t like to show off, so he chose this car in the garage to drive you to and from work during his business trips. Mica was surprised. "Chosen especially for me?" Suddenly remembering the information in the study, Mica asked: -Carlos, do you have many cars? -Yes! -You can go take a look in the garage! This one is already considered the cheapest. "My goodness!" "How noble is your status?" The entrance to the vi arrived. -Miss Noboa, your friend has already entered. Call me when you''re done. Mica nodded and stepped out of the car without hesitation. She repressed theplicated emotions in her heart. She had to find Adriana and Aunt Marta first. As soon as she entered the vi, Mica froze, as if she had entered another world! Chapter 86 : Micaela, I Regret It Very Much Chapter 86 : Mica, I Regret It Very Much Chapter 86 : Mica, I regret it very much I didn''t expect the interior to be so opulent that it was like a pce. The entire room was asrge and spacious as an outdoor area, with arge, exquisite chandelier, two stories high, illuminating every corner of the room. On both sides were dozens of meters of buffet tables, covered with rose gold tablecloths and filled with exquisite delicacies and pastries, with sses stacked like mountains.... Soft music yed. The women wore evening gowns with exquisite make-up; the men were dressed in suits and looked like gentlemen. Uniformed waiters wereing in and out of the crowd.... This was a high society party..... She looked down at herself, who was wearing a very simple professional dress, because she didn''t This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. want to wear a skirt. Her hair was also casually tied in a ponytail. Compared to these well-dressed beauties, she was simply dowdy! Luckily, no one was paying attention to her! She walked to the side to reduce her presence - now she was regretting that she hadn''t been stupid enough toe! It suddenly urred to her, could it be that Carlos hade here? "It can''t be. If he''s already arrived, the waiter''s heard about it - she didn''te in so easily!" "I have to look for Adriana and Aunt Marta to ask for rification and leave soon." After making up her mind, Mica looked around for Adriana''s figure.... I saw her already, with a backless blue dress and a tall ss in her hand, talking to a man in a suit, who said something and made herugh.... She was about to step forward when a man grabbed her arm. Surprised, she turned around hurriedly and saw that the person was Marcos. He felt surprise and joy at seeing Mica. Only then did Mica realize that it was her car that Adriana had just driven up. Surprise turned to indifference: -Let go of me! "Do you hate me that much already?" She tugged Mica and took a big step toward a quieter ce. Since she was in the audience, Mica had to whisper: -Marcos, what are you doing! Let go of me! Marcos took her to the corner window, where no one was paying attention to her. Mica tried to take his hand away, but instead he hugged her. -Mica, please, let me hug you. I miss you so much... Her voice was low, apparently with a choked sob.... Mica was stunned and stopped there. Marcos was crying? She didn''t push him away, making Marcos even more emotional, but she didn''t dare to make any more movement, enjoying the fragrance of his body and saying: -I''m sorry, it''s my fault? He insisted on going to that neighborhood to look for her, but he couldn''t even enter because of the tight security! Then, he bribed a resident to sessfully enter, but he could not find her. Later, the worker told him that she had moved out.... She was struggling, and he was worried it would make her more upset, so he had to let her go. Mica took a few steps back, keeping her distance from him, and her eyes were indeed slightly reddened. -Mica, can you give me another chance? -Marcos, calm down. We broke up! Marcos looked at her and, his gaze no longer had the previous sweetness and smile, but was indifferent, making her heart tremble violently. "Have I really lost her?" -Mica, in this life, I only love you. It''s just that I understood toote.... Mica felt ridiculous: -You consented to Adriana hurting me! What''s the point of you saying this now? -I regret it! That was the worst mistake I ever made in my life! Seeing her sad and regretful look, Mica couldn''t help but have a little weakness. -Time can''t go back. After saying that, Mica headed in the direction where she had just seen Adriana, but she had disappeared. Mica had to look for her again.... At this point, Adriana was very proudly being praised by the crowd of people. Adriana smiled in response. "Thanks to Marcos, I can get in touch with so many high ss people.... " "By the way, where did he go?" "There are so many beautiful women here, I have to follow him!" Leaving Marta alone, Adriana was going to find Marcos and when she saw Mica in the professional clothes, she was very surprised. "How could shee here?" She was alone, and looking at her dress, it didn''t look like she was here for the party either? -Why are you here? Adriana asked with a cold voice. Mica also saw her and said directly: -I''m here to find you. -Are you looking for me? Adriana looked puzzled: -How did you know I was here? Why are you looking for me? To beg me not to sell the orphanage She had almost forgotten about the orphanage. "Why were there so many thingstely?" Some people around her noticed that Mica was dressed differently and argued: -Who is this woman, is she the secretary, why did shee here? -She looks very pretty! -I don''t think I''ve seen her. Mica looked at Adriana, thinking that when she left the hospital, she was sent to the orphanage. If it weren''t for the director''spany, she might have be autistic. When she returned to her own home, she became a foster home.... She should help the orphanage ovee this difficulty. Mica was about to speak when the waiter, with several security guards, approached, checking one by one the suspicious people with the list. They feared that some female reporters might not be easy to spot if they were in disguise, so they focused on the women. The security guards and waiters split into several groups to investigate. Mica became nervous.... Chapter 87 : Be A Man With A Conscience! Chapter 87 : Be A Man With A Conscience! Chapter 87 : Be a man with a conscience! Before Mica could react, those people had already approached and looked first at Adriana, saying politely: -Hello, Miss. Inadvertently, the wrong person came in. What''s your name? Do you have an invitation? Due to the addition of security guards and waiters, there were even more people gathered. Adriana told him her name. The waiter looked at the list carefully and frowned: -Your name is not on the list! Is she a reporter? Marta saw it too and rushed to help her daughter: -She''s Grupo Elvira''s daughter! And a popr model. The waiter answered truthfully: -I didn''t hear her! The audienceughed. Adriana also blushed, but exined herself politely: -Sorry. I''m Marcos''panion. Thinking he wasn''t with her, she hurried to exin again: -He went to the bathroom and will be back soon. Yes, he is my son-inw, you have heard of Grupo Franco! The spectators also confirmed it: -Yes, she is the girlfriend of Grupo Franco''s second son. -It looks like they are ready to get engaged. Marta became even more smug, and Adriana still had a smile on her face, looking at Mica to see her irritated expression, but she was calm. The waiter checked the list again, and sure enough, there was Grupo Franco. He nodded and looked at Marta: -So, which one are you? Do you have an invitation? One of the spectators said: -Didn''t she just say that Marcos is her son-inw? So she is Adriana''s mother. Hahaha, it''s normal to bring apanion, why is the mother-inwing too? The audienceughed again. Marta''s face turned red. Because she dreamed of sneaking into high society with this opportunity. The waiter, seeing that Marta didn''t look like a journalist either, turned to Mica. Without waiting for him to ask, Mica said: -I''m sorry, I don''t have an invitation. I''m here to meet you, and I''m leaving soon. Having said that, Mica looked at Adriana and Marta. Only then did Marta notice Mica and deliberately asked aloud: -Are you not Mica, who is with a rich man? The crowd could not help but nce at Mica, who was pretty and had the capital to be with a man of much money, but they did not know who he was. Mica looked at them , dressed well, actually, they did so much wrong to her family. But they didn''t feel the least bit guilty. She couldn''t help but ask in a cold voice: -Aunt Marta, your family stole everything that originally belonged to me, is it time to give it back to me? The onlookers were surprised: -What does that mean? -What did she steal? Marta and Adriana looked at each other and Adriana reacted before asking rhetorically: -What are you babbling about? You''re an orphan, and we took you in. Shouldn''t you be grateful? Marta also reacted. "Did she get her memory back? Or did she just hear something from the past?" -How heartless you are! I raised you, but why do you want to denigrate me? Mica, Marcos and I are ready to get engaged. Why do you still love my boyfriend? He''s your brother-inw. The crowd felt surprise: -This woman is an orphan. And she loves her brother-inw? -She looks so pretty, how could she do such a thing? She didn''t care what the people said, and said with a very firm look: -I know clearly how I was treated in the past. As for Marcos, I have nothing to do with him, I''d love to tell the public everything you''ve done! Marcos went outside to adjust his mood and was about to go inside. He saw that there were quite a few people gathered here, and he heard Mica say that she had some rtionship with him. So he stopped immediately. Adriana didn''t say anything for a long time. Adriana didn''t want her to say more, so she had to change the subject: -It would be better if you didn''t do such a thing. Mica, if it wasn''t because my family took you in, would you have had the chance to yell at me here? Be a man with a conscience! Mica scoffed: -How ridiculous! My parents treated them well, but what did they do? They made them take over my house and my dad''spany! Those present were astonished: -This is great news. -It''s a pity that the reporters were not allowed to enter. -What a pity! -But Grupo Elvira is just a smallpany. -Who would be interested in Grupo Elvira! Those who came were the most influential families of Tdia. Adriana was very angry to hear this. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Fuck, it''s all Mica''s fault!" "Her rich boyfriend wasn''t invited, so he''s not a big guy either!" Marta frowned. "Mica has known quite a bit, but she hasn''t recovered her memory." "It''s been so many years and I''ve legalized all the paperwork. So she can''t do anything!" The waiter, who had been watching the show for a while, finally remembered his mission and said to Mica: -Miss, if you are not our guest, please leave. We have a right to suspect that you are a journalist..... Chapter 88 : The Powerful Aura Chapter 88 : The Powerful Aura Chapter 88 : The powerful aura However, Marta pushed him away and was aggressive with Mica: -After the death of your unfortunate parents, thepany was in chaos, and it didn''t take long for them to dere bankruptcy! It was I, who had the majority of the shares at the time, who overcame all the difficulties to save it. Why do you think the Group belongs to your father? Adriana also smiled, following Marta''s words: -At that time, the only legal heir, you, who was in the hospital, what did you do? Now you want to falsely use us of stealing your things? Mica was not convinced. Although she didn''t know the truth at the time, her intuition told her it wasn''t what they were saying! -There are people present who know what happened, so you can ask! One of the older men stepped forward and nodded: -It was indeed as she said. Mica looked at the man and asked: -What you are saying is what was reported to the public, isn''t it? Is it the true story? -Well... The man did not dare to say anything else, because things had happened a long time ago, and besides, this small business, not everyone cared. -That''s the truth! Mica, I advise you to worry about that group of wretches at the orphanage! The crowd prepared to disperse. -Hey, they''re going to talk at home! -The party didn''t take ce because of this useless affair! -Why isn''t Mr. Camposing? ... Mica was very angry. She decided to get justice for her parents, and this was the result? She was so resigned, that she almost cried.... The waiter approached her again and asked her to stop... Marcos did not want to see Mica aggrieved. Although he was a little curious about who she came with, at this moment, there was no time to think about it. He just wanted to protect her. He took a step forward and said to Adriana: -Adriana, stop saying! And she turned to speak to Mica, in a voice that immediately softened: -Mica, I''ll walk you back first. "You don''t care about me anymore!" "Am I inferior to Mica? He said he only loved me, but he still longed for that bitch." "The best is what you don''t get?" The crowd saw Mark who showed up and didn''t really speak for his girlfriend, so they couldn''t help but mutter their spections: -What''s the situation? -Obviously she''s more interested in the younger sister! -He called her so affectionately.... It had been proved that everyone was interested in gossip. The more Adriana thought about it, the angrier she became, and hearing thements of the others, she instantly became jealous, stepping forward, pushing Marcos away, and pping Mica''s face.... A few women in the vicinity unconsciously turned their faces away because the scene was too violent..... Adriana''s hand was pulled away by Mica. Adriana stared at her, and shouted: -Let go of me. Mica still had tears, but she answered with a smile: -Good. The moment she let go, she pped Adriana directly, making a loud sound! The crowd''s eyes widened, what was going on! -This p is for justice! Adriana didn''t react for a moment.... And Mica gave her another p: -This one is for my parents! Everyone was surprised, especially Marcos. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. -How dare you hit my daughter! I''m going to fight you! Marta watched as two ps were thrown at her daughter, in anger, and just as she was about to pounce on her, someone grabbed her wrist from behind! -Who is it? You bastard! Let go of me! She would turn around to see a tall and imposing man, he looked at her with a cold expression and squeezed her wrists with such force that he almost crushed her.... The atmosphere of the scene was very tense... Carlos looked at Marta with indifference. And she was frightened! This person looked young, but his aura, was quite strong. Marcos gritted his teeth. "This man, wasn''t he the one you met at the jewelry storest time?" "Who is he?" "Was he trying to help Mica?" "Does he like Mica?" Adriana was so angry she wanted to tear that bitch apart. But the man in front of her, his aura was too powerful, so she didn''t dare to move.... The crowd watched this scene nervously. Seeing him suddenly appear here, Adriana wondered. "Could he be the rich man?" She looked at Mica, only to see how she avoided this man''s gaze! She was too surprised. "He''s been gone a long time, how can he suddenly appear here?" For a moment he didn''t know how to react, so Mica habitually avoided his gaze.... All the women were looking at Carlos, as well as Tomas behind him: -Wow, both men are so handsome, especially the one in front of him! So perfect. -He''s the most striking man I''ve ever seen in my life! -Mother of mine! -I''m going to faint... ... Chapter 89 : What Is She Doing? Chapter 89 : What Is She Doing? Chapter 89 : What is she doing? The whole room was silent, so Thomas, who was in the back, had of course heard her talk, and he got very sad! Whenever he appeared with his older brother, he was inferior inparison. He could remain optimistic, which was really difficult! By the way, he was surprised to see Mica here. He wanted to greet her, but didn''t because she blushed every time he called out to her. -How painful. Let go of me... When Adriana saw her mother screaming, she rushed forward and tried to push Carlos back, but she was stopped by his cold stare and had to say: -Let go of my mom! He forcefully pushed Marta Garcia''s hand away, and she threw herself to the ground. Adriana rushed to help her up. Carlos looked at Mica again. "Why doesn''t she stay at home bute here?" All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Why doesn''t she look at me on purpose, what does she want to do?" When he noticed Marcos, who was standing near her, he guessed. "Is it because of him?" This thought, and the way she avoided his gaze, made Carlos feel especially annoyed. -Mr. Campos! -Carlos called in a low tone. Since Tomas knew well that Carlos did not like other women, he handed him a handkerchief and Carlos took it to wipe his hand that had just been touched by Marta Garcia. Only then did the crowd react that the person next to him was the organizer of the banquet, Mr. Campos! Carlos was so powerful that everyone had ignored Mr. Campos! -Mr. Campos, you havee! -Mr. Campos, I have been waiting for you all night! Mr. Campos ignored those who greeted him, but greeted Carlos: -Mr. Aguayo... From Mr. Campos'' deference as well as Carlos'' aura, this was undoubtedly a very honorable man! Those present did not dare to say anything. At the same time, Carlos was even more indifferent and angry, looking at Mica who ignored him. Tomas said what his brother wanted to say: -Mr. Campos, can any kind of person attend this party? -Ah! Mr. Campos froze. He walked in with the two brothers Carlos and Tomas, went straight up to the second floor conference room, bypassing the first floor lobby, and they only came down together after the details of the contract were discussed, so he really didn''t know what had happened.... At this point, Marta Garcia became happy, thinking she could avenge her daughter. "He must be referring to Mica!" She took steps forward and ttered Mr. Campos, saying: -Mr. Campos, that woman came in without an invitation! She is most likely a journalist! She pointed to Mica, who was trying to minimize her presence. The crowd turned instantly. Seeing this, Mica was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide.... Mr. Campos was shocked! "How can this be? I have said many times that journalists cannot be allowed to enter. Mr. Aguayo is not willing to be news. What are those useless guys doing.... " Mica blushed, not looking at Carlos for help.... -I''m leaving soon... Tomas was surprised, and he saw that Carlos was very angry "Why don''t you go to my older brother for help? They didn''t fight. What''s going on? At dinner, the two of them were still very close.... " The people who had just watched were astonished. -She said she didn''t have the invitation letter. -Marta Garcia said she was with a rich man? Isn''t the big shot here? -I thought she was the secretary of somepany! -Yes, she looks like a famousdy! -I didn''t expect it to be a journalist. -The paparazzi are so omnipresent! ... Mica was a little overwhelmed, thinking that Carlos had investigated her so clearly, she had a very -I was the one who brought her! -Marcos suddenly said out loud and felt joy in his heart. Several people were not reassured by his words. He saw that Carlos did not speak, and also Mica kept her distance from Carlos. "It seemed that she has no rtionship with this man!" Tomas couldn''t believe it. He instantly knew why his older brother was so indifferent. "Marcos is such a troublemaker!" On the other hand, Adriana, for her part, was very angry, and was about to speak when Carlos'' voice rang out: -Expose them! Carlos looked at Mica with anger. Mica had never seen Carlos'' indifferent look, so she couldn''t help but feel sad. Seeing that Mica had no intention of exining, Carlos was so angry that he instantly believed Marcos'' words! "She really came with this man! She knows he''s scum! She still can''t forget him?" Carlos had never been so angry and jealous! Mr. Campos didn''t dare to disobey the order, because Mr. Aguayo was a big figure in all of Tdia. In the past, whenever there was a banquet he had to attend, Carlos always asked his younger brother to attend. This time Mr. Campos had gone out of his way to beg Carlos to appear at today''s banquet. His appearance was already a great honor, how could he allow these people to ruin it! Mr. Campos called several security guards toe over immediately. Tomas pointed one by one to Marcos, Marta Garcia and Adriana. Mr. Campos called several security guards to approach immediately. Tomas pointed one by one to Marcos, Marta Garcia and Adriana. The security guards dragged them out one at a time. The three were so surprised and resisted hurriedly, especially Marta Garcia, who shouted. -Mr. Campos, what is it? We have the invitation letter! This is Mr. Marcos from the Franco family, we are here together! Mr. Campos ignored her and said indifferently: -You are not wee to my banquet! Chapter 90 : Carlos, LetS Go Out Together, Shall We? Chapter 90 : Carlos, Let''S Go Out Together, Shall We? Chapter 90 : Carlos, let''s go out together, shall we? The crowd was astonished. -After having attended so many parties, this is the first time I''ve seen someone get thrown out. -He is the second son of the president of Grupo Franco, and he is about to marry Grupo Carballo. Grupo Franco will be more powerful in the future, but Mr. Campos kicked him out! -It seems that this character is more powerful! ... Marcos felt even more humiliated. He thought he and Mr. Aguayo had no problem. "Thest time we met was in a jewelry store, and the jewelry was bought by him to give as a gift to..." "It turns out this is all because of Mica!" So Marcos said to her: -Mica, let''s go together! Adriana clenched her fists, forcing herself not to look at Mica for fear that the angry look would be seen by the others; forcing herself not to say anything else so that she would not be more embarrassing.... "What a shame! I''m pped by that motherfucker and kicked out of the party.... " She promised to take revenge in the future! the security guards did not stop, throwing them to the exit. Seeing this, Mica was frightened. She didn''t need to be invited by Marcos, she also wanted to take advantage of the chaos and go out with the security guards. She felt regretful, not for not getting the result she wanted, but for something else. Since Carlos appeared, she felt nervous.... -Come here -Carlos said two words in a cold voice, he noticed Mica. "Try to go out with him if you dare! Mica? Damn it! He called her so fondly." Mica stopped, neither looking at Carlos, nor paying attention to Marcos. The three of them were already dragged onto the road. Carlos''s brow furrowed even more when he saw that she didn''t move. Everyone present stood in silence, staring dumbfounded at what was happening in front of them. "It seems this man is powerful in Tdia. But who is this woman? Why can she curry favor with him?" -Come here! -Carlos repeated, suppressing his anger. Hearing the man''s words, Mica almost cried. She threw a nce at Carlos before looking away, took a deep breath and walked towards him. Tomas was relieved. "Sister-inw, you''re finally moving!" Although he only nced at her, Carlos noticed that the girl''s eyes were red. "Am I too fierce?" At this thought, Carlos couldn''t help but immediately soften his heart a little, looking at the woman who approached, and softened his tone: -Follow me. The women present were very envious. "She is obviously loved by this perfect man, to a new face!" Since Mica was new to the social environment like this, it caused many people to be jealous. Carlos scanned around him, and the different perfumes the women wore made him increasingly ufortable. He just wanted to leave when the party was over. Sure, go out with Mica together! Carlos wanted to take her to her exclusive ce, but thinking about what she had just done and the fact that she hade here with Marcos, he was still angry. He put his hand back in his pants pocket as he walked away, intentionally narrowing his steps. Mica followed behind him with her head down, just now that feeling of nervousness in her heart was stronger.... Mr. Campos led the three of them to exclusive seats, which were the ones with the best view in the whole room and the farthest away from the crowd. The other guests were standing in their corresponding ces. This position was much farther away from the other women, and the smell of perfume was less prating. Carlos felt slightly better, and although he was annoyed, he sat down with Mica before gesturing to Sr. Campos to get the party started. Mr. Campos immediately went up to a small main conference desk that had been specially arranged, and began an opening speech. There was a burst of apuse. Mica sat down next to Carlos very nervously and looked at Carlos with a slightly pale face. Carlos paid no attention to what Mr. Campos was saying, and focused on Mica.... "She ignores mepletely and did not take the initiative to exin why she hase here? If she wants toe, she can talk to me, why did shee with Marcos?" The more she thought about it, the angrier she got and even Tomas who was sitting next to her could feel it. Suddenly he heard Mica''s voice: -Carlos... Hearing her call, Carlos looked at her out of the corner of his eye, but found that her face was slightly pale and she seemed to be very nervous. At that moment, he no longer cared at all about her anger, and asked in a low voice: -What''s wrong? -Carlos, let''s go out together, okay? -she looked at him and spoke. The moment her name was pronounced, Carlos felt the anger was weakening and immediately took This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. her hand and prepared to get up.... -We invited the leader of Tdia''smercial circle, Mr. Aguayo, to make a presentation for everyone! Those present began to discuss enthusiastically: -Is he the big name in Tdia? -Is he the sessor of Grupo Aguayo, the richest in all of Tdia? -The most powerful of the three biggest giants in Tdia, Carlos! -No wonder there''s not even a reporter at today''s party and no pictures can be taken. He''s Mr. Aguayo! -It''s so rare to see Mr. Aguayo in public! ... Looking at Mica''s increasingly pale face, and then at Mr. Campos, Carlos felt very embarrassed. He originally decided to say something and left, but Mica''s state.... Mica looked at Carlos and said: -Everyone is waiting for you, we''lle back when you''re done! "But where will wee back to.... " These words suddenly appeared in Mica''s heart.... Carlos was very restless, leaving Tomas to take care of Mica. He squeezed the girl''s small hand before releasing her and getting up to head to the main podium. "I just need a few minutes." As soon as he took the stage, people started arguing again: -Wow, it''s really him! Just by looking at him, I guessed he might be tonight''s headliner. -He''s really handsome and young! -Why won''t they let me take pictures? I want to take some pictures of him to look at him at home every day! -Tonight''s banquet is worth it! ... Chapter 91 : Your Life, You Decide For Yourself Chapter 91 : Your Life, You Decide For Yourself Chapter 91 : Your Life, You Decide for Yourself Sister-inw, are you all right? -Thomas looked at Mica and asked worriedly. -I''m fine. Don''t worry. For the first time, Mica didn''t care about the way Tomas addressed her. She looked at Carlos and thought more than once that he was the most handsome man in the whole world, with impressive features, perfect figure, and elegant actions. Then she looked around, and noticed that everyone present was looking at him intently, especially the women. It was so brilliant that everyone was focused on him! And she, at this moment, suddenly understood that she no longer just wanted to have a good rtionship, but wanted greedily to get everything. But, she was destined not to seed! She was reluctant to find out Carlos'' identity, thinking that he would only be from a slightly more powerful family than Marcos''. So she could reach out to him. But he was actually Carlos, the head of one of the three great families. He was an existence she couldn''t touch! -The corresponding family strength is the basis of a rtionship, and this has been the case for thousands of years. Adriana''s words echoed in her mind. At the time she had not taken them seriously at the time, but now, she was well aware of them. She really hadn''t expected that the things she had been avoiding, she actually knew them all well in a situation like this. Carlos finished his words very calmly. The whole room burst into a loud apuse. Mr. Campos smiled. "This banquet has really been worth a lot of profit to me!" The head of the three great families, Mr. Aguayo! A character who rarely appeared at any social asion, and this time he was willing toe and give a speech, which made him extraordinarily proud and represented his status, which had gone up another notch! All the bosses present wanted to approach Carlos and have a word with him, but their indifference made them too wary to move forward. Carlos stepped down from the stage, ignoring the warm stares from the audience, and just looked at Mica. The way she was looking at him pleased him greatly. "When she gives me a reasonable exnation as to why she came with Marcos and promises not to do it again, I will forgive her. Besides, she takes the initiative to kiss me .... " At this thought, Carlos had a smile on his face. He approached her, took her hand naturally and said to Tomas: -You are responsible for the rest. Tomas nodded. Looking at his charming smile and listening to the apuse, Mica had the thrill of not allowing him to smile towards other women.... However, she could have no such hope. Looking at his hand that took hers, she suddenly felt very sad. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "The opportunity is bing less and less, and I must cherish it." Carlos was about to leave when a familiar voice sounded: -Carlos, why are you ready to leave as soon as we arrive? When Mica looked up, she had recovered her dejected mood and nodded politely with a smile. The person who spoke was Ernesto. Next to him was Leonardo, both handsome in their suits, and they smiled in response to Mica. Only Leonardo''s expression was not very natural. Carlos stopped, looked at the two and asked: -Why are they sote? Ernesto was about to speak when Tomas approached and said to Leonardo: -Leonardo, what''s wrong with you? Why isn''t Oliviaing with you? -Don''t mention what shouldn''t be said! -Ernesto gave him a look. -Is there anything that shouldn''t be mentioned? What''s wrong with you? Tell us so we can all be happy! -Tomas bulrated mercilessly. Mica suddenly remembered that she had read Olivia''s particrly sad article. -Olivia wants to break up with me! After saying this, Leonardo took a ss of wine from the waiter''s tray, and took a big sip. Tomas paused and continued to mock: -Is it that you flirt with another woman and she sees it? Just apologize to her. Ernesto also brought a ss of wine and toasted with it, sayingfortingly: -Yes, he''s right! Tomas continued with his ideas: -Give her a card and she will forgive you. Carlos did not show his attitude, and looked at Mica, who had an evident expression of surprise and curiosity, wanting to ask but not daring to do so. So Carlos asked: -Why did she break up with you? Mica immediately focused attention and waited for Leonardo to answer. He drank the wine from his ss before speaking: -My mother went to look for her. -My mother turned to her and told her that she and I did not have the same family capacity. She walked away in anger, and now I can''t get in touch with her..... Mica felt an emptiness in her head at these words. Only in fairy tales could the sparrow be a phoenix. And Cindere could be with the prince because her father was an earl. The reality gap is also reproduced in her mind. Luxury cars worth tens of millions, jewelry worth two hundred thousand, cell phones worth tens of thousands, a closet of designer clothes.... These were all things she couldn''t imagine.... Mica suddenly felt therge palm holding her tighten, causing her pain, and she couldn''t help but look at Carlos. He said: -Leonardo, don''t give up! Your life, you decide for yourself. Leonardo nodded, he would never give up. Only here was not a good ce to talk, and he couldn''t exin much. Carlos'' hand loosened a little, he looked at Mica and said quietly: -Let''s go. Mica nodded, hanging her head to keep Carlos from looking at her expression. She knew he was saying it to her, but, in her heart, she had already made up her mind. -I still want to have a few sses with you.... As Ernesto said, he looked around and saw that people were looking at them eagerly to approach Carlos, from the heads of the bigpanies to thedies. He immediately continued: -Okay, you''d better go. You won''t be able to leave if theye this way and that group of fragrant women.... Carlos also spoke no more to him, ready to leave with Mica, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped again: -Mr. Aguayo, wait! Chapter 92 : DonT Try To Make Me Angry! Chapter 92 : Don''T Try To Make Me Angry! Chapter 92 : Don''t try to make me angry! Mica saw the man in his forties, followed by a beautiful woman in a white evening dress. Ernesto and Tomas looked at each other. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Leonardo saw the man, and the girl, stopped feeling sad and stood next to Carlos: -What a coincidence! Uncle. Leonardo greeted Damian Atenas, and then looked at his cousin, Amelia. Carlos nodded to Damian but with no intention of staying, and prepared to continue walking. There were more and more perfumed women around, and Carlos did not want to stay a moment longer. However, Damian stopped him and directly stated his intention: -Mr. Aguayo, I want to invite you to my house, or, I can reserve a table at the restaurant to have a meal together. You have helped us so much that I have not thanked you yet. -That''s not necessary -Carlos refused outright. -Mr. Aguayo. Damian feared that if Carlos left right away, and he wouldn''t know when he would meet again, so he hurried to pull his daughter forward. -Mr. Aguayo, my daughter has always adored you. And you have also spent ... -Uncle! Stop talking," Leonardo suddenly shouted loudly, causing the people around him to look, and those who were originally talking stopped. Carlos'' eyebrows closed deeply and his gaze immediately turned indifferent, while he tensed his hand a little. Mica was surprised as she sized up this woman who had been dragged before her by her father. "Have you always adored Carlos? It''s normal for someone to adore him because he''s so outstanding. But what did her father mean?" Amelia blushed slightly, looking shy, but inside, she was angry at her father''s action. It was rare to run into Carlos, but her father had just ruined it! Amelia took a step forward, trying to exin something? Carlos didn''t hesitate to take Mica back! The disgust in his gaze was extraordinarily evident. Amelia immediately showed a sad expression.... "How could he hate me so much, I''m the most special to him! -Isn''t she the daughter of the Atenas? Is she flirting with Mr. Aguayo? -Wow! Mr. Aguayo doesn''t like her! -I think he does! Mr. Aguayo doesn''t like her. -Don''t you see that he already has a partner? ... The jealous voices of the women were incessant. Mica wondered why Carlos hated him so much. Although she didn''t like this girl being near Carlos either. -Mr. Aguayo, my dad just wants to thank you for your help.... -Amelia said carefully, but she wanted so much to be near him. The crowd murmured. -Thanks to Mr. Aguayo, Grupo Atenas can have today''s development. -Why was Mr. Aguayo willing to help them in this economic crisis? -Without his help, Grupo Atenas would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. -But they don''t seem to have a very good rtionship. -I heard that... A gossipy man couldn''t help but want to speak, but Carlos gave him an indifferent look, which made him shut up immediately in fear. -Mr. Athens -Carlos ignored Amelia and said directly to Damian-. I stop helping yourpany as of today. His tone was cold, and both Damian and Amelia were startled. -Mr. Aguayo, I''m sorry. I just want to ask you... Carlos pronounced the words even colder and more direct: -I can support you, I can also make you have no support in Tdia a day from now. don''t try to make me angry! Mr. Campos stood behind Carlos, anxious. He really didn''t know that Damian was so cheeky and had upset Mr. Aguayo! Hastily said Mr. Campos: -Mr. Atenas, if I had known you were going to upset Mr. Aguayo, I would never have invited you to the banquet! Carlos ignored the crowd, took Mica''s hand and went out. Mr. Campos was busy chasing him: -Mr. Aguayo, I''ll see you out! Everyone stood back and watched them leave. Amelia clenched her fists fiercely, looking at Carlos and Mica''s hands that were intertwined. "I''m the most special to Carlos! It''s all that woman''s fault!" -Amelia. Amelia resolved her mood quickly and looked at Leonardo with a grievance expression. -Leonardo, I... -Amelia, stop clinging to Carlos, otherwise you''ll regret it! -Leonardo finished, ignored them and dedicated to the banquet with Ernesto and Tomas. *** When Mica got into Carlos'' car, she remembered that the driver who apanied her was probably still waiting for her, and hurried to call him. Carlos sat to the side and watched Mica''s actions. The phone was quickly picked up. -Miss Noboa. -Mr. Driver, I''ming back in Mr. Aguayo''s car. No need to wait for me. The driver was surprised for a moment. "It''s not strange that Mr. Aguayoes here for the party, but if Mica lies to me, what will happen? If Sr. Aguayo finds out about this, he will definitely fire me!" -Well, Ms. Noboa, can you prove that she is indeed with Mr. Aguayo? Carlos reacted that she did note with Marcos, but with the driver. This made his mood improve. But she didn''t call him by his name! "You usually call me by my name, Carlos, don''t you, why did you just call me Mr. Aguayo?" she asked. She bit her lip and handed the phone to Carlos in the form of a muffled speakerphone. Carlos looked at her, neither taking the phone nor speaking. In fact, it was so quiet in the car that he could hear her voice on the phone. Carlos wanted to reprimand this driver who had apanied her in private, but seeing that this girl was still cautious, he decided against it. -Speak up! -said Mica with a bit of fury. Chapter 93 : You Have To Be By My Side, Okay? Chapter 93 : You Have To Be By My Side, Okay? Chapter 93 : You have to be by my side, okay? Carlos didn''t move, he continued without saying anything, staring at her with a smile. The driver heard no response and said anxiously: -Miss Noboa, you are lying to me, aren''t you? Where are you, I''vee to look for him. If I don''t bring you back safe and sound, Mr. Aguayo will fire me! Seeing that the driver was in a hurry, Mica had to let Diego answer! -Please! Diego knew Carlos just wanted to make fun of her, so he spoke up: -Miss Noboa, I can only prove that I am here, but I can''t prove that you are with Mr. Aguayo! This response was so unbelievable. "What are you saying?" The driver heard Diego''s voice and was relieved. But after thinking about it, he understood that it must have been answered by Sr. Aguayo for him to be okay! -Miss Noboa, let Mr. Aguayo tell me something. Otherwise, Mr. Aguayo will fire me for good. Mica bit her lips, looking at Carlos, as if silently imploring.... Carlos had no choice but to give in instantly and finally answered: -Tomas is still there. You can contact himter. The driver sighed in relief and hastened to agree. Mica hung up the phone and looked out the window, out of the corner of her eye spotting a handbag on the table where Carlos usually put hisptop. But she didn''t notice it but looked at the rain had stopped at some point? -You don''t have to pay attention to that woman. Carlos finally exined himself although he didn''t need to because of that insignificant figure. Mica froze for a moment. "Are you afraid I''ll misunderstand you?" In fact, there was no need to exin because she understood everything. He hadn''t even looked at that woman. "But what right do I have to misunderstand?" -Carlos... -What? Carlos looked up at Mica. Her voice sounded so pleasant as she spoke his name. She had so many questions in her mind, but only the most unrted one was spoken: -Has the house I rented been fixed up? She was sure that Carlos would not let her live alone again. The room that had been specially prepared for her, the clothes and shoes and socks were ready until fall.... "How can you be so considerate, with what kind of feelings do you have to prepare all this? And for what purpose did you investigate my background check early?" -Yes," Carlos answered quickly, surprising Mica in turn. -So, where''s the key? -I lost it. She looked at him helplessly. She knew he wouldn''t let her go back.... -They changed your door with abination lock, so you don''t need a key anymore. Do you want to go back? Mica didn''t expect him to respond like that. "Or have I misunderstood? Has this man got bored with me and is waiting for me to ask to leave? Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Carlos looked at her sad face and got in a good mood. He was sure she didn''t want to leave him anymore! He took her in his arms and whispered in her ear: -Tontita, how can I give you permission to leave me? The house is decorated for you and you can guess the password, but, you have to be by my side, ok? From disappointment to happiness, she couldn''t help but hug his neck with enthusiasm, and the huge contrast made her bite his shoulder.... Instantly, Carlos found this sensation very familiar.... -Carlos, you big fool! Diego did not look away as he drove the car towards Nyisrenda. "It''s so pathetic to be single!" However, Diego shed a smile. After getting out of the car, Mica returned to her room red-faced. Carlos watched her close the door before entering her room and heading for the shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he smelled the fragrance of Mica''s body in the room. She hadn''t been in his room for a long time, and her scent was already very faint, but he had an extra sensitive sense of smell because he was allergic to perfume. Mica must have just walked in! Carlos looked around and was taken aback by the little pile under the bedspread.... "Does she know what she''s doing? ?" Taking a deep breath, Carlos moved toward the bed. Carlos wanted to lift a corner of the quilt, but the person under it took the initiative to show her head, with as much red face as big blinking eyes, and spoke timidly: -Carlos, I want to sleep with you! She looked very nervously at the tall man standing in front of the bed, who had just finished showering, had dried his hair, but his body was still steaming, with a bath towel around his waist and his chest heaving slightly. The man''s handsome face was expressionless, deep-set eyes looked at Mica, no one could tell what he was thinking. His expression had even a hint of coldness in it, and only he knew how hard it was for him to restrain himself from pouncing on her and kissing her fiercely! Mica had used all her courage to say this, and she really didn''t know what to say next. Thank God, Carlos finally asked: - Mica, are you sure? Clutching the nket and taking courage back into her heart, Mica nodded with a look as if she was ready to die. Carlos noticed her movements and expressions, and frowned slightly. "She''s not willing to make love to me at all, why is she forcing herself to do it? It could be that... " Maybe she was thinking too much, so she left. Before she could think too much, Carlos was already back in a white nightgown. When he lifted the quilt, he saw that the girl was in her pajamas, and due to her own movement, her body was very stiff. Carlos calmlyy down, turned off the light and took her in his arms. "Silly girl, are you trying to seduce me? At least don''t wear clothes, okay?" Chapter 94 : LetS End Our Relationship! Chapter 94 : Let''S End Our Rtionship! Chapter 94 : Let''s end our rtionship! In fact, Carlos was relieved when he saw her in her pajamas, so he could still hold back. So many nights he could, and today too! He held back very hard, but also very nice. Being able to sleep with her was very happy. He was willing to wait for her to fully ept him.... And now, she was not ready to make love to him at all, only probably stimted by something. And what he wanted, was her heart. Mica''s whole body stiffened as she waited for Charles to do something.... "Looks like she can''t sleep if I don''t do anything!" -Mica? -What? -Why did you go to that party tonight? Not wanting to mention that she had read the information in the study, Mica answered: -I went to ask Adriana something from the past, and I happened to see her leave, so I followed her to the party. -Are you that anxious to know? -Yes... -In my study, the information is on the table, and you can go take a look tomorrow. Mica was surprised, she thought he would hide it from her and give it to her in a few days! Carlos reached out and stroked the top of her hair, his voice low. -Have you already read it? Is that why you went to ask her? -That''s right... -Mica answered quietly. As he had already seen it, Carlos didn''t want to hide anything: -Mica, the first time I met you, I was already working on investigating you. At first it was just out of This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. curiosity, and I also doubted if you have some motives to appear in my life, butter, it was to get to know you better, I definitely had no malice, ok? She began to cry uncontrobly. In fact, when he said he wanted her to be by his side, she no longer cared about anything she just wanted to keep the fecility of the present.... -Carlos, why are you so good? -I don''t know, I was born with it! Mica let out augh. Carlos kissed her cheek softly. Mica cupped his face, leaned closer and said: -My mouth is here... However, Carlos did not kiss her mouth. What she said when she was drunk was something he would never forget. -Don''t seduce me, Mica. She felt her face heat up and was a little disappointed. She had taken the initiative like that and he was still impassive. Was she not charming enough? Carlos took her right hand, asking in a low voice: -Does it hurt? -What? -Twice pped, does your hand hurt? She looked especially vivid when she was angry? Mica blushed, fortunately the light was off. -Did you see it? -Yes. Mica reddened even more and hid in his arms. -Let me do this kind of thing from now on. Mica was tempted tough, but suddenly remembered what Marta Garcia had said, and hurried to ask: -Is my father''s achievement really as Adriana and Aunt Marta said, I cannot get it back? Carlos frowned, hugged her tighter and answered: -They have done a thorough job, in fact, all the procedures are legal and reasonable. It is impossible for you to get it back by legal means. She was disappointed for a moment, but Carlos continued: -There are other means -This was easy for Carlos. However, Mica shook her head: -It is no longer the samepany as the original one. Marta Garcia was not good at running thepany, and Grupo Elvira was a disaster. That''s why she hadn''t made any move to give it back to Mica. Mica was very sleepy and forgot the purpose of entering her room, hugging Carlos'' waist and murmuring: -Good night.... Then, she fell asleep. Carlos kept looking at Mica''s face in the dark, thinking in his heart that it was a pity that his n had just failed, and that he shouldn''t give it up easily, should he? The next day, however, Carlos discovered that he was wrong. On the way to take her to work, when Mica suddenly said something to him, making Carlos think he had misheard and Diego was also surprised as he mmed on the brakes and the car stopped in the middle of the road. -Say it again! Carlos said angrily, looking at Mica who was sitting next to him. "Give yourself another chance. I can pretend I didn''t hear what you just said." The sound of the horn came from behind, and Diego hurriedly started the car. "Miss Noboa, stop talking nonsense!" Mica clenched her pants tightly and her heart beat rapidly. She looked at Carlos very determined: -Let''s end our rtionship! She didn''t say break up, because they had never officially confirmed that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She broke his heart again. -The reason? Actually Carlos knew because she had been behaving strangely since the night before. It must have been because of the birth inferiorityplex and the affair between Leonardo and Olivia, but it didn''t matter to him? -Because I don''t want to be with you! "My God, why did Miss Noboa say those strange words.... " Carlos'' eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Mica, whose expression told him seriously that she, was determined to go. "All right, third time of refusal!" "Yesterday afternoon in my arms, she said as long as she knows I''m Carlos, but this moment, because I''m Carlos, nothing is good!" -Stop the car! -Mr. Aguayo... -Quickly! Diego hurried to do it. Mica turned around to open the door.... Carlos didn''t look at her, trying to calm down. Although he did not look at her, he still heard her movements, and even heard her sobbing voice.... His heart immediately softened and he wanted to hold her in his arms, to tell her that her birth, her origin of identity did not matter to him at all. But then came Mica''s voice and made his hand stop in mid-air.... -That card, the jewelry, the phone, everything is on the table in the room. The money for helping me decorate my house, I''ll be sure to give it to you. After saying this, she closed the car door as fast as she could and rushed away without looking at Carlos again.... Carlos waspletely desperate, closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat and said: -Let''s go back to thepany. Diego looked at him from the rearview mirror and his face was dejected and hurt. "Miss Noboa, why do you have to be like this? " Halfway there, Carlos, who had remained silent, said again: -Diego, let''s go to Nyisrenda. ... Sofia was surprised to see Carlos again. -Mr. Aguayo, have you forgotten something? -Yes," Carlos answered, going straight upstairs to Mica''s room. Chapter 95 : Is Family Status And Economics Correspondence Necessary? Chapter 95 : Is Family Status And Economics Correspondence Necessary? Chapter 95 : Is family status and economics correspondence necessary? Pushing open the door, Carlos entered. Although she did not sleep in this room the night before, the air still smelled sweetly of her body, as if she had not left ... On the table by the window, all the things they had mentioned, were really there, the ck card, which had not been used even once, the jewelry, which had not been worn even once, and the phone, which was also here ... The things he sent were returned for the second time! Carlos'' hand pressed against his heart, feeling a little breathless, that little girl was kind to everyone, sponsoring the orphanage, helping her ssmates, but she was so cruel to him! Carlos didn''t move those things, he turned around and went downstairs. -Sofia. -Sir ... Sofia looked at Carlos with concern. "He hasn''t had such a cold attitude at home for a long time, what happened? He was fine when he left the house this morning." -Go to his room to tidy up and pick up all his clothes. -What? Sofia didn''t react, seeing that the gentleman hade out of Miss Noboa''s room, so he should be referring to Miss Noboa, but ... -And then? I''ll take you to your master bedroom? -Throw it away! *** Mica went to work all day in a trance and seemed unfocused, which made Ana very worried. He asked her several times, but she just said she was fine, that she didn''t sleep wellst night. -Mica, you are doing the right thing, look, up to this point now, losing him, you are already in this state, stay with him again and go deeper into it, it will be even harder to get outter, you will definitely die of grief! "At least you''re not dead now, you can keep working and drawing, can''t you? Let it go now, you''re just sad for a while, yes, just for a while..... He''s not someone you can think about, his family is not something you can intervene in. With such a disparity of identities and backgrounds, there will be no good results..." Mica continued to persuade herself and was again distracted by theputer screen ... Seeing her distraction, Ana quietly slid off the stool and took her by the shoulders, asking in a low voice. -Mica, what''s wrong with you? Is your boyfriend mistreating you? Come on, take me to teach him a lesson! It was then when Mica recovered, shaking her head and changing the subject. -I''m fine, it''s Friday, I promised to take everyone to lunch before, go see what you want to eat. Ana was very worried, Mica didn''t want to mention it at all, but with that distressed look, did she fall out of love? "Her boyfriend was so good, so rich, and the way he looked at Mica was so affectionate, they shouldn''t break up, right?" Ana asked worriedly: -Are you sure we''re going today, in your current state? -Yes, I don''t want to be alone in the house, go book a table! After thinking for a while, Mica continued: -We''re going to sing after dinner, with the people from the first and third apartments, there are a lot of people and it''s more lively, they also helped us about that jewel of Ivanna''sst time, consider it a thank you to them. Seeing her forcibly encouraged to say this, she also did not want to be alone, had she really fallen out All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. of love? Ana, who didn''t know the name of Mica''s boyfriend, cursed him in her heart a hundred times, where were his eyes, was he really willing to give up on Mica who was really hot? The more Anne thought about it, the angrier she got, it was true that no man was good! -Well, Mica, we won''t go home if we don''t get drunk at night! As soon as the news spread that Mica was inviting everyone to dinner, everyone jumped up and hurried out after work. The dinner was still at the Oasis Hotel, I didn''t know why it was a coincidence or if it was because there were about the same number of people and it was actually the same private room as before! The crowd was eating happily, only Mica who was not eating happily and was forced to smile. Kiki and Ana sat to Mica''s left and right and helped her hold the wine. She paid the bill, so naturally everyone came to toast, but Mica didn''t even take a sip. Thest time she was here, Carlos gave her roses for the first time and made a video call ... The tears she had held back for a day seemed to spiral out of control, she rushed to the bathroom ... Washing her face with cold water, she looked at herself in the mirror and spat, she didn''t even feel that way when she broke up with Marcos ... So, in fact, she didn''t love Marcos that much? Then she didn''t want to let him touch her, so she broke up with him, she was just sad and angry for a while, and she recovered quickly? Mica sighed, she didn''t know how long it would take her to recover this time. When she returned to her seat, everyone was full, they went to KTV, a group of people made noise all over the private room, everyoneughed and danced, but Mica still felt she didn''t fit in with the group, sitting on the couch drinking drinks, thinking this was also good, at least among the crowd, she wasn''t alone ... -Mica, I see you are distracted today, tell me, what problems have you encountered? -Kiki asked with concern as she sat down next to Mica. Mica looked at Kiki and suddenly had the idea to say something. -Kiki, do you think the correspondence of family status and economy is necessary? Kiki was stunned for a moment, thinking that she must have emotional problems. -Of course, I am an example. Mica was surprised and looked at Kiki who continued. -I had a marriage before. Kiki paused for a moment to gather her thoughts and said slowly: -We are together, of course, for love. He is also a big family with small aplishments in Tdia. At that time, I was just a new graduate born into an ordinary family. His mother did not think very highly of me at first, but he did not marry anyone except me, so we got married and were happy for the first year. However, more and more problems were revealed. He was a lord of a superior family, many of his ideas in life were different from mine. His younger sister also looked down on me, saying that I was from the countryside, and some of his rtives were also the same. And I couldn''t adapt to the upper- ss lifestyle either. Gradually, the friction between us became more and more serious. He even said there was a generation gap with me, the issues inmon were less and less, and we drifted further apart. Finally, we divorced. Mica felt heavy, and only after a long while she spoke with embarrassment. -I''m sorry, Kiki, for talking about your sadness. Kikiughed. -Silly, I''m not sad. It was him, who made me see many things clearly, and only after my divorce, I worked hard and got the results I have now. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank him for allowing me to experience the upper ss and have a deeper understanding of luxury goods. Mica could see that Kiki hadpletelye out of this marriage. -You have achieved what you have now. She must regret abandoning you at first, right? Kiki took a sip of the beer in her hand. -There''s nothing to regret, the upper sses are chaotic too. If you haven''t been in touch, you won''t understand them. Not long after we divorced, his mother arranged for him to marry a youngdy from another family. Mica was stunned, thinking about Carlos, if there was another woman by his side soon, he cared for that woman as if he cared for her, whispering in her ear ... Chapter 96 : Come On, LetS Go Upstairs Together. Chapter 96 : Come On, Let''S Go Upstairs Together. Chapter 96 : Come on, let''s go upstairs together. Mica immediately became very jealous and her heart position ached, so she grabbed the beer and wanted to drink it ... Kiki stopped her hand when she saw that she was so ufortable and told her in a serious tone. -Mica, I don''t know what''s going on between you and your boyfriend, but there are no absolutes in everything, not all family disparities don''t have good results, if you decide, don''t regret it. -I don''t regret it! Mica forced herself to say this, and she had to say it too! Last night, he was on stage as if he was on top, but she, humiliated to dust, the feeling of inferiority that was going to engulf her. -Did you really break up? -Kiki asked. Although Kiki only caught a glimpse of her boyfriend at thestpany dinner in the video, she was also surprised that he was an excellent man. Andter, when Ivanna''s design incident took ce, she invited Ivan to help, so she was sure he must be a very important person in Tdia. Mica was now experiencing the pain caused by the great breach, wasn''t she? Although she had not been in contact with her for long, she could sense that Mica was a very serious and responsible girl. Mica endured the heartache and nodded. Kiki took the wine from Mica. -Then, you can''t drink, don''t try to numb yourself, you have to remember clearly how you feel now, so much pain, remember it and don''t do it again. Ana approached, she was the one who asked Kiki to persuade Mica, who was reluctant to talk to Ana and maybe she was willing to talk to Kiki, which seemed to be the right thing to do. She sat down next to Mica and patted her on the shoulder. -Mica, whatever happens, we''re by your side! Kiki also looked at Mica with encouragement, and Mica nodded her head in a touched way, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. At half past ten in the evening, Kiki saw that Mica was tired and asked them all to finish, so they all left and thanked Mica politely. They liked her more and more, they found that she was in a bad mood today, so they consciously didn''t ask anymore. Kiki arrived by car and insisted on taking Mica back, while Ana was on the same road with Kiki, so they both got into Kiki''s car. When they arrived at themunity where they lived, Kiki parked on the first floor of building 12, and Mica got out of the car, she was in a trance, she didn''te back for half a month and felt a little strange. Ana approached, looked around and said. -You live here, Mica, this location is very good! Kiki also came down and talked about what she had heard recently. -I''ve heard that the security work in thismunity is very good recently. Mica nodded, at first she thought the location was good, the price was right and it was safe. Mica thought about greeting them and going upstairs to take a seat, but then she remembered that Carlos had said the door had changed the password, so she feared she couldn''t guess it and wouldn''t be able to get in. -Mica, how much is the rent here per month? asked Ana. Mica didn''t think much about it and answered truthfully. -100 euros per month. -100 euros? Ana eximed in surprise. -So cheap! Is the room the size of a snail''s shell? Mica saw how excited she was reacting and looked at Kiki, who was also surprised! -A room with a balcony... -And with a balcony! 100 euros a month in this location? Take me upstairs to have a look. Ana dragged them inside as she spoke. -Mica? A familiar woman''s voice sounded and the three of them turned their heads, it was Ivanna and Adriana. Adriana stared at Mica, how ungrateful, they met here! Revenge for being pped by her yesterday had not been avenged! And then, all three were expelled from the party, but the whore, Mica, was not expelled! Seeing her now made her very angry, but something so humiliating, now that Ivanna was here, this was not to be mentioned, or it would be even more embarrassing! Adriana and Ivanna came together to celebrate the birthday of a colleague who lived in this neighborhood, they came out of an adjoining building and saw Mica and the others, and heard her say that the 100 euro a month house she lived in must be very poor. 100 euros a month, there was probably only one toilet, right? Adriana was in a bad mood at the sight of Mica and wanted to take this opportunity to tease her severely. What if she had a rich boyfriend, she still lived in a poor neighborhood! Yesterday, since she was kicked out early, and her circle hadn''t widened enough to reach the people Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. who were at the party togetherst night, so she didn''t know what happened next. -Mica, you''d better not mention what happenedst night, or I''ll make sure those poor bastards at the orphanage take off and sleep in the street tomorrow! -Adriana warned. -What happenedst night? Both Ivanna and Ana were very curious. Adriana ignored Ivanna and reluctantly changed the subject. -Since I''ve met you here, I''m a little thirsty, so let''s go to your 100-euro-a-month house for a drink. Ana could not stand it. -You''re strange, there are many convenience stores, would you go there to buy a bottle of water! Or are you already so poor that you can''t even afford water? It seems that modeling is not a lucrative profession. Adriana red fiercely at Ana, this bitch was always helping that whore, Mica! -Of course I can buy water, but it''s rare to find us here, and I''m a guest, don''t you know how to treat a guest? Ivanna put her arms around her chest and looked at Mica. -What? We''re friends from school and I can''te to your house? Could it be that there are still men in your house? You still owe me a pair of shoes worth eighteen thousand euros, how will I know if you can pay for my shoes if I don''te up to see what situation you''re in? -You! Although she was curious about what she said about eighteen thousand euros worth of shoes, Ana was even angrier at her for ndering Mica and tried to approach to help her, but Kiki pushed her away. -Don''t worry, whether it''s shoes or money, you''ll always have one of them. Mica finished with Ivanna, she looked at Adriana, thought about her background, thought about the gap between her and Carlos, she really didn''t feel like talking to them anymore, she didn''t want to mention thingsst night either. They just wanted to tease her, so they did what they wanted, and she really didn''t want to argue with them here. She still knew the atmosphere of her house, and they would find no reason to tease her when they went upstairs. -Come on, let''s go up together. After she finished speaking, she took Ana and Kiki and they entered the building. Inside the elevator, it was very obvious that there were three on one side and two on the other side. -You only pay 100 euros a month rent, and the elevator costs are shared by other residents! Ivanna spoke up. -Yes, at least I paid 500, you paid nothing, you should take the stairs. Mica responded indifferently. Chapter 97 : The Lights Came On And She Was Surprised. Chapter 97 : The Lights Came On And She Was Surprised. Chapter 97 : The lights came on and she was surprised. Ivanna was speechless and closed her mouth in hatred, Adriana spoke again. -Don''t you have a rich boyfriend, ask him to buy you a nice house, if not, rent a ce of higher category, look at this elevator that is so full, one more person won''t be enough to stand! -Mica, don''t you know that a man hates it when a woman tells him she is not capable? Mica suddenly remembered what Carlos had told her, and she felt sad for a moment, she couldn''t help thinking about him when she saw and heard something ... Kiki knew that what Mica probably didn''t want to hear was about her boyfriend, so she stopped her. -Ya, stop talking, aren''t you thirsty? The more you talk, the thirstier you get. The two of them finally fell silent. The elevator doors opened. As Mica stepped out of the elevator, she remembered again that she didn''t have a key and didn''t know the password, so she could only guess. Her brain was very slow today, but she brought them upstairs without thinking ... -Which one is your house? It can''t be this one, can it? Ivanna smiled and pointed to a smallundry room across from the elevator. -I can believe it if it''s 100 euros a month here! Mica gave her a vacant look, said nothing, and took the lead towards the door of her house, only the closer she got, the slower her steps ... Was that luxurious and atmospheric-looking door really home? Why did Carlos make such a fancy door? This door was expensive, wasn''t it? The others also stared in amazement and thenpared it to the one next door, which looked so pitiful in front of this luxurious door ... -Mica, aren''t you mistaken? Is it your house? Adriana asked mockingly. Mica also became suspicious and looked again at the floor numbers posted above the elevator and, indeed, they were correct. Ivanna took a look at the password door, it was high ss, the one at the colleague''s house did not have this style! The door alone cost hundreds of times that rent, didn''t it? Mica must be a liar, it definitely wasn''t her house! Ivanna thought for sure and said. -Mica, you open the door fast, I have to go home and sleep after drinking water! Mica did think how to open the door, she was thinking what the password would be. Normally it should be 4 digits, what 4 digits was it? Birthday? No, she had a feeling it couldn''t be, so what was it? I would let her guess, it had to be a number she knew. Mica was very nervous, trying to enter the date she met him, even more nervous when she pressed the confirm button. The door lock had issued a warning, wrong code! -Haha, Mica, don''t lie to us, it''s not your house how can you know the correct password, I said the misceneous room is your house, admit it. -Then the owner says you''re a thief! Adriana and Ivanna mocked her proudly. Kiki was also a little surprised and asked Mica in a low voice. -What''s wrong? Ana replied loudly to Adriana and Ivanna. -What are you doing? It''s normal to get the wrong number, there are times when you go to get money and you get the wrong password! -Well, you open it again and see if the door opens from the outside or if the owner of the house inside Ana trembled with anger when she saw Ivanna''s proud look, so she had to look at Mica, hoping she wouldn''t press the wrong button again. Mica calmed down, it wasn''t the day she found herself, could it be the first day she came here? After mentally projecting the date and making sure it was that one, she entered it again and pressed confirm ... The door opened ... Ana and Kiki breathed a sigh of relief. So did Mica, reaching for the light in its usual position, the light came on ... Mica was surprised like everyone else ... After a long while, Mica went inside, was this the house she had originally rented? Didn''t Carlos say to do the floor, check the circuit and change the bathroom door? The scene in front of her waspletely different! If she hadn''te up from the floor below, she would have to doubt that she had been in the wrong ce. -Wow, Mica, I can''t believe you can rent such a luxurious house with only 100 euros! Ana was very excited, as if she had returned to her own home. Only the entrance light was turned on by Mica. Ana consciously flicked all the switches on the wall when she saw them, and instantly, the whole house glowed with a dazzling light, presenting itself to everyone. This was simply another sight! He wouldn''t find out if he looked outside, it was actually a building within a building! When he entered through the front door, you could see straight through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which were tall and upied two floors, with pretty curtains hung at the ends, a position that used to be a small balcony, and the upants of its top floor? It was clearly open at the top and bottom, and looking around, twice as spacious as before, and his next door neighbor''s house had also been opened? In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling on the second floor, with regr spotlights around the ceiling in a circle, and under the crystal chandelier, a high-end coffee table, and a leather sofa set ... The surrounding walls were lined with beige marble, all the way up, which made the whole space even brighter and more spacious. A 70-something-inch LCD television hung on the wall. Looking down the stairs to the right, there were two rooms on the second floor, which should be the master bedroom and the side bedroom. There were also two rooms on the first floor, the door was closed, I didn''t know what it was for, but it wasn''t the kitchen after all. As the kitchen was on the left, it was an open kitchen, but the transparent ss was installed to divide the boundary with the hallway, and she could see everything in the kitchen ... Mica felt like she was dreaming, Carlos, why did you make this ce so beautiful? And to be honest, she loved the design! At first, she had thought about going back to see how much the renovation would cost, approximately, and transfer it to him, she still had ten thousand euros on her card, which should be enough, but now it seemed she would have to multiply it by a few more, or add a zero to have enough, right? A bold thought came to Mica''s mind, could it be that Carlos was here? As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Mica''s heart beat uncontrobly fast as she walked to the two rooms downstairs and opened them one by one. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Everyone followed her unconsciously, thinking she was showing them around. The two doors on the right were open and one was the bedroom. The other room was the study, it had bookshelves full of books and aputer on the desk, Mica looked at the router and the indicator light was still on! Ana and Kiki were arguing about how good the design of the house was, but Mica didn''t listen to them, she was just more sure that Carlos was in this house. The thought made her heart beat even faster, so much so that she unconsciously put her hand to her chest ... Chapter 98 : IM Waiting To See The Day YouLl Be Abandoned! Chapter 98 : I''M Waiting To See The Day You''Ll Be Abandoned! Chapter 98 : I''m waiting to see the day you''ll be abandoned! There was no sign of him downstairs, so she made her way upstairs, her hand on the railing, the wood of which, at first nce, was high-ss. Adriana and Ivanna who were very jealous, but could not help following her to have a look. Mica''s steps were a bit anxious, she didn''t know how to describe her mood at the moment, was it hope? Or fear of disappointing expectations? She pushed the door to the first room over the stairs, it was a bit of a small bedroom, there was no bed, it was just empty. Immediately, Mica went to thest room, a little doubt arising in her heart. -Mica, you sleep in this room, don''t you? Open the door, let me see. Ana was very anxious and looked forward to it. Mica bit her lip and pushed the door, her mind couldn''t help but fantasize that Carlos was sitting inside, watching her push the door, looking at her and smiling at her, just like he used to do before when he lived in her house and went to her studio to ask her for food ... But Mica was disappointed because the person she wanted to see was not inside ... Mica thought mockingly. -Mica, you''re really crazy, you''re the one who wants to leave and now you''re the one who desperately wants to see him! The style of the room was very simr to the one she stayed in before at home, and the room with a bathroom. Mica no longer had any ideas about going to see the bathroom. But Ana wanted to go visit it, while praising the beauty of the house and the high-end furniture, she opened the bathroom door. -Wow, Mica, what a good time you have, a super luxurious bathroom, and the jacuzzii! Youe home from work and take a bath, life is so beautiful! I learned a lot today. Kiki had been paying attention to Mica''s expression. As she walked through the door, the look of disbelief on her face, and the dejection on her face at this point, and thinking about the fact that she had just entered the wrong password, Kiki thought that Mica had probably also just realized that her house had undergone a radical change. It must have been her boyfriend who had done all this for her. -Well, we''re done visiting, it''s time to go. Kiki said. Only then did Mica remember that she hadn''t served them water, so she hurried to let everyone downstairs and headed for the kitchen. Adriana and Ivanna were very jealous and regretful. They wanted to tease Mica, but they brought their own humiliation! Mica''s 100 euro a month house was really big! The house they had just gone to cost 1. 000 euros a month! It was clearly a luxurious house made for her by her rich boyfriend! There was a water dispenser in the kitchen and even fresh ingredients in the fridge. Mica was very surprised, why Carlos had to do so much! Repressing her spirits, Mica poured a few sses of water, put them on a tray and brought them out, and everyone grabbed them and took a few sips. -Mica, are there any free rooms for rent next door? Not to mention 100 euros, I am willing to rent it for 200 euros, help me to pay attention! Ana said expectantly. Kiki answered directly. -Don''t dream, this is someone who rented it to Mica on purpose, let alone such a luxurious house, it''s even amon room, in this location, it will definitely cost more than 100 euros a month! One word woke up the dreamer, letting Mica suddenly remembered when she rented the house, the shares of thendy aunt, and the mattress next to the bed that did not even take off the hanging tag ... And that time when she first came, lied to him to live in building 18, saved her from the hands of Marcoster, went straight to this building, and then every time she cameter, she was familiar with the door ... So this house was arranged by Carlos from the beginning? The day she found the house, he was also thinking about the means to install it here without leaving a trace? Was it from that moment on, did he take care of it little by little? Mica was so shocked she could hardly breathe. Kiki looked worriedly at Mica, she looked very bad, and said indifferently to the two women. -You''ve already drunk and visited the house, so please get out! Adriana wrapped her arms around her chest, with envy in her heart. -Mica, you don''t even look at your status, do you deserve to live in such a nice house? Your boyfriend is rich, he likes you now, so naturally he gives you the best of everything, when one day he gets tired of you and leaves you, then you will know pain! As soon as Adriana finished speaking, Ivanna also said. -It''s true, what happened to you is only on TV, I advise you not to dream, you''ll be abandoned when you''re old! Anay became furious and took two steps forward, but was stopped by Mica. She looked at them and said in a tone that was not polite at all. -Are you jealous? Even if I don''t deserve it, he only likes me, not you! Those two were speechless ... -It''s you who have toe and cause trouble. You didn''t find the opportunity, and you started to be jealous. Get out of here! As she said, Mica pushed Adriana and Ivanna out. Ivanna still did not give up and shouted. -I think we''ve guessed you and you''re angry, aren''t you? I''m waiting to see the day when you will be abandoned. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Mica closed the door. Mica lowered her head and admitted it in her heart. In fact, they guessed what she was thinking ... After all, she had low self-esteem and feared she would be hurt ... -Mica, you are doing very well! said Ana with a look of adoration. Only then did Mica realize how violently she had reacted. Kiki nodded smiling. -Really, Mica, you''re great! Come on, you have to be braver! Whatever your decision is, look forward and keep growing, understand? Mica nodded a little lost in thought, mentally affirming what Kiki had said. -It''s gettingte, let''s go back. After saying goodbye to Kiki and Ana, Mica closed the door, slipped out the back and sat on the floor, hugging her knees, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, thinking about the happiness of renting this house for the first time, and her inner emotions were veryplicated. Why he was so good to her, so good that she felt sorry for him, and seeing him make her house so good, she was even sadder ... At that moment the doorbell rang. Mica got up and went first to look around the living room. She made sure it wasn''t them dropping something before she left, and then went to open the door. She was so nervous that she rubbed her cheeks before slowly opening the door ... -Miss Noboa! Outside the door stood Diego, with two oversized suitcases behind him. Mica knew very much that she was disappointed in her heart, but reason told her that she could not be disappointed, that she should not go into expectation and that she should go ahead with what she had decided. -Mr. Ocampo, what is it? Diego took something out of his pocket and handed it to her. It was the pink phone she was using. Mica''s hand that was hidden behind her back trembled, not reaching out to take it. Chapter 99 : This Society Is Realistic Chapter 99 : This Society Is Realistic Chapter 99 : This Society is Realistic Really as Mr. had said, she certainly wouldn''t ept it. Diego said following Carlos'' instructions. -The gentleman said that you don''t need to return this phone that you have used, and that if you really want to return it, you should return a new one. Last time he broke it, and some paint fell off the edges and corners. It really wasn''t good to give it back to him like that. Mica blushed a little and then reached out and took the phone. Diego pushed the two boxes behind him in front of his eyes. -Diego said, "The Mr. said these are the clothes you''ve been wearing and that you should handle them yourself. Mica was surprised and wanted to refuse. -I''m not wearing that many clothes! Basically she wore those outfits, there were a lot of clothes in the closet, and she didn''t wear them one by one ... -Sir just asked me to bring it here. If you have any questions, call and ask the gentleman directly. Then I won''t disturb your rest. Goodbye! The gentleman said not to talk to him for more than 3 minutes... Diego nodded politely to Mica and turned to leave. Mica wanted to stop him to ask if Carlos was okay. But she restrained herself. He was an excellent man, and there were so many girls around him who liked him, how could he be bad! Forcing herself to think this way, Mica dragged her suitcase inside, closed the door and turned around, looking at the luxurious house, still having the illusion of being blinded by the light. With mixed feelings, she sat down on the couch, pulled her phone card out of her purse, loaded it back into the pink phone and turned it on. The phone suddenly rang and the rapid tones of several messages startled Mica. When she finally calmed down and Mica wanted to see him, the phone rang again! It was Alba. As soon as Mica answered the phone, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. -What the hell are you doing, Mica! The phone hasn''t been working all day, I''ve been calling your boyfriend! Mica was surprised! -What are you saying, you called him? Alba softened her breath before saying. -It''s Mr. Ocampo, I don''t have Mr. Aguayo''s number, I called him this afternoon, but it took him several times to answer, I really don''t know what they do with your phones, I almost booked a ticket to fly back! Mica was embarrassed. -I''m sorry for worrying you.... -Don''t be so reckless next time, keep your cell phones everywhere and turn them off! Kept them everywhere? Mr. Ocampo said that? -What did Mr. Ocampo tell you? -He just said you didn''t bring your phone to work and left it at home, and he told me he would call you tonight. -Okay... What could Mr. Ocampo say? He just made up a random reason. -Mica, did you ask your Mr. Aguayo to find Ivanna''s shoes for you? She''ll need them next weekend. -My Mr. Aguayo? Mica smiled bitterly. -Alba, let''s make a video call! After saying that, Mica hung up the phone and initiated a video call request and Alba answered it. Mica touched the conversion camera and then picked up the phone to show Alba her surroundings. -Mica said, "Wow, it''s beautiful, but it doesn''t look very big! Normally, Mr. Aguayo would be living in a big vi, this must be a small one, right? -Alba, this is the house I rented, you''ve been here before. Snap... There was a scramble on the phone screen, the sound of something falling inside, then the sound of picking up the phone, and only a momentter, Alba''s face reappeared on the phone screen with a look of surprise. -Wow, what''s going on? Your house is changing a lot. -She told me to rece the floor, rece the bathroom door and check the circuitry, but when I came back today, that''s what happened. -Your boyfriend is really so thoughtful and generous! It''s harder than building a new one when he''s transformed it like that, and it didn''t take long, it was done day and night ... Alba continued to talk about her astonishment. Mica calmed down and said. -Alba, today I told him about the separation! The other end was silent, and Mica looked at Alba''s surprised expression. -Alba, why didn''t you tell me that Carlos was the head of the three big families, I just found out yesterday, my heart is so confused. You know, the identity is so disparate, I really don''t have a good result with him..... -Mica, what nonsense are you talking about! It''s enough that you want each other, I already told you that the result depends on your hard work together! Tears welled up in Mica''s eyes. -No, Alba, I know too well that this partnership is realistic ... -Don''t you trust him so much? He''s perfectly capable of keeping you from getting hurt, so why do you have to bother with this crap! Alba was angry! Angry for being too sensible and realistic! Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. However, she was really hurting for Mica, ever since she had the impression, she knew she was an orphan and her inner inferiority was magnified. She was afraid that she was not worthy of him, that even if she seeded, she would lose him in the end ... Alba couldn''t help crying, and they both cried into the phone for a while before Alba sobbed and asked. -And what did he say, does he agree? Mica paused and wiped away the tears. -I got out of the car and ran out when I finished, she asked Mr. Ocampo to hand over the phone .... After a pause, Mica exined. -I put the cell phone, the ck card and the jewelry he gave me before, put them on the table and gave them back to him. But just now, Diego sent the phone, along with the clothes, so I should have agreed. After Mica finished talking, her heart ached. When Alba heard this, she perked up and stopped being sad. She suddenly felt that the tears she had just shed had been in vain. But she chose not to say, there were some things Mica had to see for herself. -Well, now that you''ve made up your mind, I''ll cut the crap. Tell me, what are your ns? Mica nodded, took a deep breath and sorted out her emotions before saying. -Could I ask your brother to see where there is a suitable ce to rent for an orphanage? She had been paying attention to him herself on the Inte, but her strength was too weak and she hadn''t found a satisfactory ce. -Okay, I''ll call my brotherter. The two talked about something else, and Alba was in a hurry, so she ended the video call. Mica found in her purse the card number she copied from Carlos'' ck card this morning, opened her mobile bank and transferred all the money she had on the card to him. This was still far from enough, but there was no hurry, little by little. The sadness really needed to be talked about. After talking to Alba and shedding quite a few tears, his heart felt much more rxed and he felt that the decision he had made was not so difficult to ept. She opened the suitcase she had just dragged in and actually had all her clothes in here, including her pajamas. He stifled the fluttering in his heart and thought nothing of it, picked up a couple of garments and went upstairs, showered and went to bed. Chapter 100 : ItS Going To Be All Right, Come On! Chapter 100 : It''S Going To Be All Right, Come On! Chapter 100 : It''s going to be all right,e on! Lying on the softforter, Mica immediately felt sleepy, but she still had work to do. She brought her phone and opened WhatsApp. Delfina had called her during the day, but she didn''t get it because the card wasn''t in her phone, and so she left her a message on WhatsApp, saying she couldn''t find the shoes and asked Mica about the progress. Mica simply replied, and would look for it again tomorrow weekend. Delfina quickly replied. -I''ll rest tomorrow, we are together! -Okay. -I''m sorry to bother you, Mica, it''s none of your business. -It''s okay, it was me who insisted on helping you. Delfina sent a row of noodle tears emojis and continued. -Thank you so much! The two agreed on a time and ce to meet tomorrow and said goodbye. After chatting, Mica still didn''t put her phone down, but searched the friends list and found Carlos'' avatar, the picture she personally took of him. She erged the picture, looked at his handsome face, that mouth slightly hooked to the curve, really charming ... It was a long time before Mica stepping out stepped back, and suddenly it urred to her, should she add him to the cklist? Almost immediately, there was opposition in the back of her head! They never talked anyway, and it was all the same whether he was cklisted or not. It wasn''t necessary, yes, that was it ... Mica put the phone down, curled up under the covers and soon fell asleep ... The next day, waking up in new surroundings, Mica was surprised at how well she had slept. She herself thought she would surely lose sleep with her disordered state of mind yesterday, but she fell asleep right away! This couldn''t be an illness for her, could it? While Mica was thinking, she went into the bathroom. In the storage cab under the sink, there were all kinds of toiletries. She had known about itst night. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she put on the casual clothes she''d pulled out of the suitcase Diego had sent yesterday. Pulling herself together, she opened the door to her room and reached out to hold the railing, looking up at the ss lights a floor high and then down, feeling like she was dreaming, with her own abilities, she would have to struggle for several lifetimes to have a house like this to live in, wouldn''t she? She didn''t know what the situation was. How did Carlos deal with the previous resident upstairs and the resident next door? How could she forget, she had thendy''s number! Mica went to the room and picked up her cell phone to call her. -I''m sorry, the number you have dialed is empty, please check it again. Mica was surprised. She said she was in a hurry to leave the country, so she changed her number? Then she would have to wait for the owner to contact her to ask. She headed for the kitchen, the ingredients in the fridge were fresh, they had all been bought and put there on purpose yesterday, hadn''t they? She would bring it all back! With this in mind, Mica prepared some simple food, ate nonchntly, packed up and headed out. Delfina was already waiting for her at the right ce. Tdia was so big that it would take half a month to find one counter after another. The two of them picked up the pace and went shopping for two whole days and almost took all the nearby counters. Although Alba had also told her, presumably because Ivanna had exined it to her beforehand, all the stores said they didn''t have that number, but the two still wouldn''t give up and wanted to go see for themselves. When it was almost dark, Mica said. -You return the shoes, if you don''t return them, the time limit is over. The paperwork wasplete and, ording to the service, it was possible to return. The counter staff did not embarrass her and immediately sent the money to Mica''s ount. Delfina was very worried. -Mica, are we really not going to lose anything? It looks like Ivanna won''t let it go. -It''s okay, we''ll see what we can do when the timees, don''t worry. Mica consoled Delfina. Delfina was very moved, she took Mica''s hand and promised. -Mica, I definitely won''t let you help me advance the money, if you really need to pay, I will definitely pay you back! Looking at her with conviction, Mica nodded and smiled. -Okay, I believe you, it''s okay, Delfina! After the two said goodbye, Mica went back to her residence, had a simple meal, then went into her study, turned on herputer and continued searching for a suitable ce on the inte for the orphanage, the good ces were too expensive and the bad ones were too poor, the funding for the orphanage was really limited, what should she do? It seemed that the original ce was still the most suitable, only, Adriana ... How annoying! The sound of a WhatsApp message came from her phone, and when Liuyan picked up her phone, it was actually Olivia who had sent her a message. -Mica. Mica thought of many things at once, but answered her immediately. -Yes, what''s up? In fact, after adding WhatsApp, he had tried to find her many times to chat with her, but she was slow and not very good at taking the initiative.... -Actually, I''ve wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I was afraid to bother you. Olivia''s message made her shudder, Olivia actually said what was on her mind, and in a burst, she asked directly. -Did you two make up? As soon as she sent it, Mica regretted it and thought it had been a bad idea to ask like that and wanted to take it back, but to her surprise, she quickly replied. -No. Since she was willing to talk, Mica was not polite and asked everything she wanted to ask. Olivia''s family was considered a schrly family, her parents were university professors, but Leonardo''s mother still felt she was not worthy of the Pinto family, so she brought a check to ask Olivia to leave.... -But that''s not the real reason why I''m breaking up with him. Mica looked at the string of words sent by Olivia, surprised, and quickly sent it. -So what? -His mother set him up with a date with ady from a rich family and he epted it. Mica bit her lip, thinking of the day she ran into him at the banquet, of the somber look on his face, of his fingers snapping rapidly at the keypad of his phone. -Maybe, it was his mother who forced him. -So what even if his mother made him do it? After all, to ept is topromise, he doesn''t have the determination to fight his family for me. I should be abandoned by him because of hismitment to his mother. Mica was silent, she was right. -When he came to see me, he told me that Mr. Aguayo had taken you to the party and that he knew about my breakup with him, I only came to talk to you specifically, so you wouldn''t be confused about what we did. What? At this point, Mica thought Olivia was sent by Carlos to persuade her. -I was not sent by Mr. Aguayo! Again, she said what Mica was thinking. -Women, especially those who have no intention of integrating into a high-ss family, will back off after learning of their boyfriend''s strong background. I''ve retreated too, I know the feeling of inferiority. Mica smiled bitterly, believing what she said, and sent what she meant. -Your parents are alive and educated, do you still have low self-esteem? Then I should be ashamed of myself. -Mica, your situation is different from mine, thest time I had dinner with you, I could feel that Mr. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Aguayo treats you well, he really only has you in his eyes and in his heart, we spectators can see it clearly. You probably don''t know it, he has never approached women, and you are the first one he approaches. Mica''s heart was pounding and a very faint voice sounded in her head. -Besides, I haven''t had a girlfriend before. Carlos seemed to have told her this before ... -I came to talk to you because I hope you are not affected by what happened between that dog, Leonardo and me, you get along well with him, I''m waiting for your fancy wedding! Seeing the nickname, Mica couldn''t help but smile, a sincere smile of thest days. Olivia was a kind girl, whose actions warmed Mica''s heart. However, she didn''t tell Olivia that she had separated from Carlos and had no intention of returning. She probably wouldn''t have anything to do with Olivia in the future, so let her think that she and Carlos were happy together ... *** The next day, Mica got up early and hung all the clothes from her suitcase in the upstairs closet, making a list of the brands of clothes, intending to send them to Alba to see how much they cost so she could return them to Carlos. After finishing this and having breakfast, Mica took the bus to work. Sitting on the bus, she took out her cell phone and took a picture of the morning sun through the window and posted it to WhatsApp. -Every day the sun is new and everything will be fine, let''s go! When she arrived at the office, Ana was happy to see that Mica was no longer as down as before. As soon as Kiki arrived, she called Mica into her office, handed her a piece of paper and a pencil and said. -Mica, send me your bank card number, hurry up. This is very strange, why did the court contact me without contacting you? Mica was surprised. -What''s going on? -Write me first, quickly. Mica had to write down the ount number on a piece of paper first, and immediately took out her phone and sent it to someone. Not long after, the cell phone in Mica''s pocket rang, she took out the phone to see, it was a text message from the bank, she wrote that she had received fifty thousand euros! Mica was so surprised that she doubted if the text message from the bank was malfunctioning. Then another one popped up, she wrote that she had received ten thousand euros! -Have you received? Very quickly. -Kiki, what''s wrong? -Don''t you remember what Mr. Morillo saidst time? He acted as yourwyer, handling Alonso''s infringement case, and Josefina''s theft case, which were allpensations he got for you. Kiki smiled. -Mr. Morillo is capable! He should have exhausted all the savings of both of us! Mica was stunned, she had basically forgotten about it.... It took her a long time toe back to her senses. -I didn''t do anything and I didn''t attend court or anything ... -Yes, so it makes it even more impressive that Ivan Morillo is powerful! He takes care of everything because you have such a capable boyfriend ... I could hire the most powerfulwyer in Tdia, Kiki didn''t finish this sentence. -Mica, I''m sorry. She forgot that they had broken up. Chapter 101 : This Group Of People Is So Annoying! Chapter 101 : This Group Of People Is So Annoying! Chapter 101 : This group of people is so annoying! Mica shook her head, suppressing the feeling in her heart. -Okay. Should I pay thewyer''s fee? Seeing the obvious dejection on her face, Kiki replied: -I''m not sure. I assume he has paid it. Mica nodded disoriented, thinking of Carlos'' rage thest time she sat in the car with him.... -Then I''m going... Whether Kiki answered her or not, Mica didn''t know, it just came out in a leonine way. "It''s a little strange that someone would send me money at this time. I think Carlos did." With a sigh, she returned to her seat. And then he put all the money he had just received into Carlos'' ck card ount. After doing this, she nced at his Whatsapp profile. "He hasn''t contacted me either." "This is what I want, isn''t it?" She was going to break off the rtionship with him and pay him back what she owed him? Then, there would be no more contact. When she thinks of Familia Elvira, she did so with distaste. "When I''m done with the orphanage, I''m definitely going back to Adriana and Tia Marta to get some justice!" Even if it were true that Grupo Carballo had ceased to exist at that time, but at least, that house, was definitely bought by her father back then. "No matter what, I have to get the apartment back!" Once this was decided, Mica set to work. She thought of nothing else and devoted herself to her work every day. In her spare time, she All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. reassured Mama Director on the phone so she wouldn''t worry. The next few days were quiet. During this period, Alba''s brother took her to see some ces to rent for an orphanage, but the price was not negotiated and it was over. Half the deadline had already passed..... *** Saturday had arrived. It was the day Adriana and Ivanna were going to parade down the Garzanca catwalk. Yesterday, when Mica told Kiki that she was going, Ana also wanted to go and take a look. -I want to see Ivanna fall off the stage! -Okay, let''s go together," said Kiki. So this morning, the three of them went out in Kiki''s car. -It''s a 40-minute drive to Garzanca," Ana looked at the time and continued, "It''s a good thing we left early, otherwise we wouldn''t have made it on time. -As the show has been promoted for a long time, so many journalists arrive. Today it is normal to have traffic jams. As she said, Kiki looked at Mica in the rearview mirror, who had been acting calmly this week, but she knew that Mica was actually very unhappy about a lost love. The only thing she could hope for would be for her to get her act together very soon. The destination had finally arrived. Garzanca was a 5-star tourist attraction in Tdia and had a huge photo studio, where the show was held. Renting the studio and setting up the stage was a big expense. All three went in with their tickets. Looking at the dazzling stage, with lights of every color and the busy staff, Ana said excitedly: -It looks like it''s not easy being a model. How much effort is needed for a show. -Every profession is not easy," Kiki smiled and replied. But Ana suddenly said to Mica: -If you are a model, you will be very popr! -Don''t be ridiculous. I''m going to look for a friend of mine and I''ll be right back. -Do you want us to go with you? -asked Kiki. -No, thanks. -Okay, be careful. Mica nodded, asked a staff and headed to the back of the stage. When Delfina saw Mica she hurried to greet her: -Mica, have you lost weight? I didn''t see you looking so thinst week. Mica paused, is it so obvious? -She smiled and said, "I like a dress, but I can''t wear it, so I have to lose weight. What a good exnation! Delfina was worried about her deal with Ivannater, so she took her inside, without further thought. Inside, the models were changing clothes and doing their makeup for the stage. Ivanna felt very jealous when she saw her Mica in the mirror, wearing a simple but attractive white dress. She said mockingly: -You haven''t found any shoes, have you? Eighteen thousand euros, not a penny less! The surrounding models realized what had happened and all looked at Mica with regret. Mica looked at Ivanna, who was wearing a dress suitable to show off her ne, only at this moment, she still didn''t have it on. She smiled and said: -Give me your card number. No one dared to say anything. Ivanna said angrily to Delfina: -Are you a fool? Go get my card. Delfina hurried to do so and handed it to Mica. Soon a text message rang on the phone on the dresser. Ivanna went to check it in disgust, and she really had received eighteen thousand euros! -Ivanna, then I look forward to your wonderful performance. After giving Delfina a wink, Mica prepared to leave. -Wait! -Adriana suddenly called out to her. Mica turned around and looked at her, she looked so regal and elegant that the other models couldn''t help but gasp: -Adriana looks so pretty! -Yes, she is super elegant! -Her figure is gorgeous too, she should be the first ce winner today! -I think so too! ... Adriana proudly listened to everyone''s discussion. "First ce naturally belongs to me!" "But now, I can''t let Mica go like this!" She looked towards Delfina and asked: -Where are the shoes that didn''t fit Ivanna? Delfina''s heart suddenly skipped a beat as she stammered in response: -I... put them away. -Well, take them out. Mica frowned. "It''s really not as easy as I thought!" Ivanna couldn''t understand. She had long since packed another pair of shoes and didn''t need them. -Ivanna, it''s not easy to make money. You can still return them and, eighteen thousand euros is not a small amount! Ivanna immediately understood and asked in a stern voice: -Delfina, did you exchange the shoes for money? Show them to me! Delfina did not know how to react.... The crowd looked with surprise at Delfina''s reaction and murmured: -It looks like she really traded her shoes for money! -I can''t imagine. -She looks so honest, but I didn''t expect.... Delfina didn''t know what to do. Mica sighed and looked at Ivanna: -Have you made a mistake about the ownership of the object? Those present looked doubtfully. -What do you mean? Mica took two steps forward, shielding Delfina behind her, and asked: -The money has been received, hasn''t it? Ivanna nodded. -Then your shoes are naturally mine, aren''t they? The crowd gasped, and only after a long while responded: -It seems he''s right! Ivanna became furious and argued loudly: -You took my shoes for money and gave me the money, what kind ofpensation is that? Adriana smirked. " She has finally wised up for once." The audience couldn''t help but nod again: -Yes, what kind ofpensation is that? Mica smiled and said. -I''ll give you an example. If I kill your rooster, I will pay you ten euros, can I take the rooster with me? Ivanna was still analyzing in her mind, but the crowd had already answered for her: -Of course you can, it''s the same as if you buy the rooster from him! -Yes, I''ve been there! I still feel like I lose out by buying a dead one. Adriana gritted her teeth. "This group of people is so annoying!" Mica nodded and continued: -So, should I ask permission from the original owner to cook the rooster or throw it away? -Of course not! -You can decide for yourself how you want! Ivanna could no longer react. -So you don''t have the right to decide about my shoes either, do you? Adriana counterattacked: -You''re not making any sense! Chapter 102 : What You Said Made Her Sad. Chapter 102 : What You Said Made Her Sad. Chapter 102 : What you said made her sad. -Why don''t I make sense? The money is yours, the shoes are still yours, how can it be? The audience couldn''t stop nodding. -It can''t be. -That makes sense! -I think it does. Ivanna was confused. She only knew that it was originally her own money, but she could not argue against it, limiting herself to say: -Mica, you don''t keep your word! -Is that so? -Mica looked at the crowd and said, -I made it very clear, it''s either the shoes or eighteen thousand euros, you''ll always have one or the other, won''t you? They all nodded. Both Ivanna and Adriana were speechless. -You have already received the money, and I have kept my promise. Delfina simply looked at Mica adoringly. "Well done!" Ivanna gasped, after all she had nothing to lose. Adriana looked at Delfina and said: -Then this is your fault. Before she brought the money, the shoes were Ivanna''s, but you gave them to Mica! This is theft! "Why are you involving me again?" Ivanna snapped awake and banged on the table: -Delfina, Mica, you are so hateful! I don''t want the money, I want the shoes! Adriana gave Ivanna an appreciative look. Mica frowned. I thought about giving her the shoes, but I couldn''t do it when the return deadline came due. -Miss Noboa! A familiar voice suddenly sounded and when Mica turned, she saw Diego walking toward her. "You''vee on your own? " She repressed the loss that surged in her heart. He seemed to have entered some time ago, but made no noise. Everyone hurriedly turned away, and only then did Mica see that he was carrying a golden purse in his hand, and she felt a certain familiarity.... People also looked at him, who was dressed in a suit, and wondered why a man was here all of a sudden. He handed the package to Mica: -Sorry, I always forget to give it to you. This is the size 36 Chanel heels. Mica was confused. "How do you know I''m looking for this shoe?" -Mr. Aguayo went to the banquet that day, they went specially to the counter to get these shoes for you. However, there are a lot of things this period. It''s not toote to give it to you, is it? -Diego exined. "No wonder it looks familiar. Indeed, I''ve seen that bag in the car when I left the party." "I think you overheard my conversation with Alba that day and, therefore, went to prepare the shoes on purpose? " "It''s an easy task for him." "It''s an easy task for him to find out why I''m looking for those shoes, so he sent them on time!" She didn''t know how to describe her feelings, merely handing the shoes to Ivanna: -Okay, here are your shoes. At this point, Mica just wanted to find a quiet ce to stay for a while. Ivanna and Adriana were confused. They both rushed to open the box and sure enough, it was a size 36 Chanel. -Miss Aleman, please give Mica her money back. Between the two things, you can only get one. Diego said kindly. He seemed to have heard the whole conversation just now. Ivanna red at him and gave the money back to Mica. Adriana was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it. When she saw that it was almost time for the show to start, she walked away with a grunt. And everyone went back to their business. Delfina breathed a sigh of relief, threw a grateful nce at Mica, and then followed Ivanna back to the powder room. -Miss Noboa, I''m leaving. -Well, thank you, Mr. Ocampo. I will return the money to... This name, Carlos, could not be said. -Miss Noboa, Mr. Aguayo will not be upset with you for this, Diego said in a serious tone, "You must know him very well. What you have said has saddened him, but he is still worried about you? Mica wanted to ask him if he was all right, but she forced herself to restrain herself. "I don''t deserve it, forget it." Diego stopped persuading, and as he was about to leave, he heard a male voice: -What''s wrong with Miss Athens! How can you be wrong at this time? Miss Athens? Diego and Mica looked confused. It turned out to be Eric, who was looking at the numerous models with a dissatisfied expression, shaking his head uncontrobly. -No, no, no one fits in this dress. As soon as he saw Mica, it was as if he saw hope and ran towards her. Diego was taken aback and rushed to protect her behind him.... "What is this guy trying to do with her?" Diego looked at this man suspiciously. She was Mr. Aguayo''s treasure, so he had to protect her! Eric looked at the man with a serious face, fiercely slowing his steps. And Mica recognized him as the man who had convinced her toe to work as a modelst time. The people in the room greeted Eric enthusiastically, as he waved, gesturing for everyone to go about their business, and then looked toward Mica, saying in a friendly voice: Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -Miss Noboa, I''m d to see you! Chapter 103 : You Will Become The Most Popular In Teladia Chapter 103 : You Will Be The Most Popr In Tdia Chapter 103 : You will be the most popr in Tdia -Miss Noboa.... -Diego was still worried and wanted her to go with him.... The music yed and the models began to take the stage. In such a hurry, Eric had to exin to Diego: -Sir, don''t misunderstand me. I have no malice. Diego looked at Mica and saw her nod before stepping back. Eric was quick to say: -Miss Noboa, since our final went suddenly to the hospital with appendicitis, can you fill in for her? The other models were taken aback by his words, including Ivanna and Adriana. -A final? We have never heard of this. Adriana immediately tried to stop: -Mr. Eric, don''t be ridiculous. She is not professional.... There are reporters outside and it''s going to be broadcast live, who can afford to screw up? It was too risky! Eric raised his hand to silence the crowd and looked at Mica: -Promise me, okay? I''ll pay you... Ivanna took a step forward and pulled Eric''s arm, replying: -Hey, gay! I won''t allow it! My father won''t allow it either! Our family has spent a lot of money on sponsorship, how can you ask someone who doesn''t know anything to get on stage? Her words werepletely thoughtless! On the one hand, Ivanna was really worried that the show would be spoiled, on the other hand, she didn''t want Mica to make it to the finals. -Who is she, a poor orphan, to get on stage with me? The crowd was surprised by her words and looked at her. Diego immediately said nonchntly: -Mademoiselle, please watch your words! Even Eric looked disgusted and took his hand away: -Miss Aleman, I am responsible for this show today and everything is at my disposal. "No one can question my aesthetics." Mica felt especially guilty towards Carlos, and a feeling of stubbornness arose in her heart as she listened to Adriana and Ivanna''s desperate objections. -Hello! -Mr. Eric. Eric nodded immediately, looking hopeful. -I... -She deliberately paused and looked at both Adriana and Ivanna, who were nervous: -I have decided... Adriana was so anxious, and spoke without regard to the consequences: -If you dare to ept, I will immediately let the wretches from the orphanage go! Mica clenched her fists, looked at Eric and asked: -How much can you pay me? Suddenly, Eric felt a great joy in his heart. "Does she need the money urgently? Then... " -Thirty thousand euros! Mica was surprised by the price. At the same time many things urred to her. She read the fear and nervousness in Adriana''s eyes.... "Would she also be afraid of losing to me?" In fact, he didn''t want to say yes, but he felt like making them both angry: -I agree, but I''m indeed not professional, if I really screw up..... Eric was so surprised that he immediately made a gesture to the staff next to him. -Makeup artist, stylist,e here! -He then said to Mica, "Don''t worry, I''ll take care of everything! -Hey! Gay! Stop doing it! -Ivanna was very angry. -Miss Aleman, I''m giving you onest chance. You only have three minutes left, shut up! -Eric looked at her and said sternly: -Who gave you the right? -Security, expel Ivanna! No one dared to say anything, including Ivanna. And at this moment, the stage assistant came in: -What''s going on! Adriana and Ivanna, you''ll be the next to go on stage! Delfina hurried to take out her ne and ran in front of Ivanna, saying kindly: -Don''t be angry. Mica is only on stage as a special guest, besides, this is your debut show, cheer up! Her words were right, and they both walked in the direction of the front stage. The make-up artist started to do Mica''s make-up and couldn''t help but praise: -This beauty''s skin is too good..... Mica looked at Eric and asked: -Mr. Eric, can I have a mask? I don''t want my quiet life to be disturbed. "Good idea! It would add a sense of mystery." He agreed and immediately asked his assistant to get the mask. -"Miss Noboa, you can be a model in my group. It will definitely take you to the top of both fame and fortune, and you will be the most popr in Tdia. Mica let the makeup artist do her eye makeup. "Fame and fortune, wouldn''t it be possible to be closer to Carlos?" "To be famous in jewelry design, it takes a long period of years, but modeling, would it be a shortcut?" -If you''re short of money, I can pay you the amount you need first. Mica opened her eyes and looked at Eric: Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -Eight hundred thousand euros, is that okay? Chapter 104 : What A Perfect Figure! Chapter 104 : What A Perfect Figure! Chapter 104 : What a perfect figure! -Miss Noboa! Diego, who had been standing to the side, interrupted him: -You don''t have to worry about the orphanage, Mr. Aguayo already? -Mr. Ocampo, I don''t want to be a woman who only clings to him. Diego stopped. The gleam in Mica''s eyes, made him feel that she was too special. "How many women want to curry favor with Mr. Aguayo and enjoy the benefits, but Mica doesn''t want it. Her qualities stand out more than her looks. Diego nodded: -Then I''m going. Be careful in everything. Seeing Diego leave, Eric cheerfully replied: -No problem! I''m going to prepare the contract right now. *** Under the stage, Ana was watching the models with excitement. -Kiki, both the clothes and the models are so beautiful. -Yes, the fashion show was very ssy. By the way, why isn''t Mica back? -There''s a lot to talk about between friends. -Are you worried that she''s intimidated by the two women? Just as Kiki was about to admit it, Ana pointed to the back of the stage: -Look, they''reing out soon! Kiki looked up, and sure enough, Ivanna appeared with a forced smile, and the nice clothes, especially.... -Wow, look at this model, the ne she''s wearing is beautiful! -Yes, it goes so well with this dress! -The ne really adds a touch! ... Ana and Kiki also heard the chatter of people around them and thought smugly. "It''s designed by Mica!" Even Ivanna, on stage, seemed to hear it, getting more and more confident. Adriana came out next, and despite hating her, she had a lot of stage experience and a more perfect stage presence. Kiki and Ana whispered it. Then the models from the previous shift changed clothes and came back on stage. The runway was nearing its end, and just then the music on stage changed! All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. The audience in the arena murmured: -Hey, what''s up, is there a finale? -It doesn''t show anything about a finale on the promotional posters! -I think it''s to give everyone a surprise. Everyone was really looking forward to it with excitement. *** Carlos was minding his own business and when he looked at the time, he frowned. "Why isn''t Diego back yet?" He looked at the location on the cell phone, and saw Mica was still at Garzanca. He recently knew the trajectory of Mica''s activities this way. It was very easy for him to force her toe back to him, but he just wanted her to do it of her own free will. "She has a knack for driving me crazy!" Checking the location again, there was no change.... "Is she in some kind of trouble?" At the thought of this possibility, Carlos could not sit still. He immediately called Diego as he walked to the office. But he ran into Diego by chance. -Mr. Aguayo, are you going out? Carlos hung up the phone and came back. -Mr. Aguayo, hurry up and watch on Phoenix Television, or whatever television is avable, as long as I can broadcast that runway show at Garzanca live! Saying this, Diego grabbed the remote control directly. -Let''s see," said Diego with a satisfied smile. With a press, the live image appeared on the screen. In the center of the stage, a girl in a white sarong was slowly walking out.... The scene, which had been noisy, calmed down miraculously.... What a beautiful woman she was: She had long hair casually coiled and a very delicate little face. She wore a dark green mask that added to the mystery, but did not prevent her enchanting eyes from being seen. And a noble aura was revealed all over her body..... Carlos liked her so much! *** Eric approached excitedly and watched as Mica, walked to the front of the stage.... A burst of apuse erupted from the room, along with the clicking of cameras snapping pictures, the magnesium lights shed non-stop and the people around were surprised, chattering. -Mother of God! She is so beautiful. -Who is she? I can''t see her face. -Could she be the winner ofst year''s modeling contest? -I don''t think so. -Her figure is so perfect! ... Mica went through the round and back to the beginning. In thest round, everyone came out one at a time collectively and she took center stage. Adriana and Ivanna were standing to the left and right of her. "How could you do so well?" Adriana felt a sense of crisis like she had never felt before.... Eric nodded in satisfaction. "Mica is so attractive that the models around her be her sidekicks.... " When it was over, Mica left right away, but the other models, started to move on to the next voting and ranking session. The audience shouted: -Can I vote for the beautiful girl in the final? -She is too beautiful! ... The organizers came out to reply that she was not participating in the voting. Everyone felt sorry for her. Chapter 105 : Talk To Your Boyfriend And Leave Me Alone Chapter 105 : Talk To Your Boyfriend And Leave Me Alone Chapter 105 : Talk to Your Boyfriend and Leave Me Alone -Would that final be Mica? -Ana asked Kiki incredulously. -Yes! I think I''m going to lose this designer..... Eric rushed to Mica with uncontainable emotion. He only spoke briefly with her about the essentials, and she was showing so perfect that no one could tell that, it was her first time on stage! Delfina was also very excited: -Mica, you are amazing! -Mica, you are fantastic, you are perfect! Wow, I''m falling in love with you. Eric came in and, excited, wanted to give Mica a hug, but she dodged him. -I''m sorry, I got so excited! How wonderful! Let''s sign the contract. The assistant handed it to her immediately. However, Mica hesitated: -Eric, is it okay if I take the contract with me to take a good look at it before deciding? Eric was very old, but he had to agree: -Of course, you can take a look at the contract and tell me if there is anything you are not satisfied with. Once the contract is signed, the eight hundred thousand euros will be paid to you immediately. Mica nodded in relief. Since it was about her future life, she didn''t want to make such a hasty decision. She removed her makeup and changed her clothes as quickly as she could, then left the backstage. As soon as she left, a group of reporters arrived. "Luckily, I got out quickly." With a turn, she saw Kiki and Ana waiting for her.... On the way back, Mica admitted that the final indeed, which made Ana get excited. -Mica, you are so amazing! She felt a little embarrassed by herpliment. Kiki looked at Mica in the rearview mirror and asked: -You have a contract, don''t you, are you going to get booked? -I''m sorry, because I need a lot of money..... She told them briefly about the current situation of the orphanage, and told them directly that Eric was willing to give her an advance of eight hundred thousand euros once she signed the contract.... -You don''t really like the modeling business, do you? Kiki felt even more sorry for Mica, who had no rtionship with the children at the orphanage, but was willing to do so much for them.... And then she thought of her very generous boyfriend, who had just broken up. "Mica can beg him for help, but she decides to take it on herself. She''s very brave and independent!" Ana was not as experienced as Kiki, she felt envious and put her arm around Mica: -Why don''t you like it? It''s a dream for many and you can even enter the acting circle then. Wow! Mica, could you sign an autograph for me? -Mica, decide for yourself, and we respect your decision! Although Kiki was sad to let a design talent go, she was still very supportive. Mica nodded excitedly. It was noon and already time for lunch. As the three of them discussed where they were going, Mica''s phone suddenly rang. It was Mateo. She thought she had found another suitable ce to run an orphanage, so she hurried to answer it, but to her surprise, he said: -Mrs. Noboa, my stock market has recently plummeted. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Mica was puzzled. -You can talk to your boyfriend and leave me alone? "What?" "My boyfriend?" "Carlos?" -What do you mean? -Remember a few days ago I went with you to see the orphanage grounds? And we had lunch together? -Of course. -That''s when the market for my shares started to plummet. We originally had a partnership, but after that day, the situation got worse. I guess he misunderstood something? After hanging up the phone, Mica was still in shock, her hand trembling slightly. -What''s wrong with you? -asked Ana with concern. Mica took a deep breath and called Carlos on the phone... *** In the office of the president of Grupo Aguayo. All the office workers were working overtime on weekends because the president was in a bad mood. The door to the president''s office opened, and a desperate assistant opened the door. -Mr. Aguayo is still in a bad mood? The man nodded. -Where has the president gone who used to be as warm as spring? -Now he is so indifferent! -I used to think the president looked so handsome, but now he looks like the devil! -He''s be so picky about projects! The crowd gathered and grumbled. When Diego walked in and heard everyone whispering, he hit someone on the head, startling everyone and they rushed back to their positions. Seeing it was Diego, they handed him their files. -Mr. Ocampo, thank you. -And mine. -We''re counting on you! Looking at the documents, Diego sighed helplessly and headed for Carlos'' office. "If Miss Noboa doesn''te back, I won''t be able to take it anymore." Carlos had gradually be friendly before, but since Mica had left, he had reverted to his old cold attitude. Chapter 106 : Fate Was So Wonderful! Chapter 106 : Fate Was So Wonderful! Chapter 106 : Fate was so wonderful! Diego walked in, feeling the temperature inside as if it were several degrees lower than outside. Only when he got closer did he see that Carlos was staring lost at his phone during business hours. He nced at the phone''s screen and it appeared to be a picture taken on a bus.... -Mr. Aguayo... But Carlos'' phone suddenly rang. He looked at the words on the screen: Mica. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. It was a name he loved and hated at the same time. "It''s been a week and you''re finally willing to call me?" If he hadn''t pulled a few tricks, he didn''t know how long it would have taken! He gave her a ck card but she even gave him back the money for the phone and the house renovation, trying topletely break up with him. -Diego, answer. No matter what I say, answer so she can talk to me in person. Diego was a little surprised, but he was going to pick up the phone from the desk.... -Wait! Suddenly, Carlos picked up the phone again and put it to his ear without speaking. There was silence on the other end as well, and after a long while, a timid voice came out. -Carlos... That soft tone of voice, it was the most melodious he had heard this week, but it wasn''t enough. He put the loudspeaker on and passed it to Diego: -Miss Noboa -Diego hurried to answer. When she heard Diego''s voice, she couldn''t help but feel a little disappointed. "He doesn''t want to answer my call?" -Mr. Aguayo is in a meeting. -Well, I... -If you have something to say,e do it in person. Kiki parked the car, and Mica got out. Looking at the vehicles on the road, Carlos'' face and Diego''s words came to her mind: -Your words have saddened Mr. Aguayo? She could not go to him because she had not figured out how to confront him. -Wait... If it was really Carlos who caused the Alba family''s stock market to plummet, he could not stand idly by. -Where is he? Diego breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried to say the address of thepany, looked at Carlos and immediately said: -I''ming to greet you! -Thanks, I''m going to take a cab, bye. Mica hung up the phone and turned to Kiki and Ana: -I''m sorry, I have something to do. -That''s okay. Where are you going? I cane with you. -Thanks, I''ll be fine on my own. See you at the office on Monday! Kiki didn''t force herself, she said goodbye and left. The closer she got to her destination, the more nervous she became. "When Carlos first walked me to work, he told me he was on his way, but this is clearly the opposite direction." "So he was taking me to work on purpose?" The hand clenching the phone tightened, betraying the agitation of her heart..... Finally the car stopped in front of an imposing building. Mica took a deep breath and pushed open the door. She didn''t expect Diego to be waiting there already, and when he saw her enter, he greeted her: -Mrs. Noboa, this way! She was led directly to the president''s exclusive elevator. Although it was the weekend, there were still quite a few employeesing and going because several departments were working overtime, and everyone was surprised to see this image! -Who is this woman? -Diego came down to pick her up in person! -And she can even take the president''s exclusive elevator! -VIPs can only take the elevator next door, especially women! Mica was nervous from the moment she entered the elevator, and wanted to ask Diego, but didn''t know what to ask. -Miss Noboa, your performance today is very perfect! -Diego broke the silence first. -Didn''t you leave a long time ago? -she was a little surprised. Diego smiled and answered. -I saw it on the live broadcast. -Okay. "So, did Carlos see it too?" Mica bit her lips and didn''t ask. -Mrs. Noboa, the destiny between you and Mr. Aguayo is really wonderful! -What? -asked Mica confused. -Haha, go find outter. The elevator door opened, leading directly to the outer room of the president''s office. Mica had to suppress her doubts and follow Diego. -Miss Noboa,e in! Mica nervously stepped inside. Before she had time to see anything, she was enveloped in a wide embrace, and then she was kissed. Carlos hugged Mica tightly.... He smelled her greedily and did not want to separate from her for a moment. At first she was surprised, but when she reacted, her heart was beating fast. Although she missed his domineering kisses, she also knew it was wrong, because she had decided not to get more involved with him.... She didn''t have enough strength to push him away. Her breathing became increasingly ragged, her kisses were too soft.... Chapter 107 : Did I Come Here Specifically For You To Kiss Me? Chapter 107 : Did I Come Here Specifically For You To Kiss Me? Chapter 107 : Did Ie here specifically for you to kiss me? If they didn''t stop now, they wouldn''t be able to stop. Carlos forced himself to let go of her, one hand resting on the door, pulling away from her a little, and looking at her. She was so fascinating... -Carlos... With that soft tone, he instantly felt his heart melt, kissing both her delicate nose and red lips. Mica pushed him hard, but Carlos didn''t move. -Carlos! -Yes... This brief conversation clearly seemed like a murmur between lovers. But Mica remembered the purpose of this trip and asked: -Are you the one who has influenced the stock market of Alba''s family? -Yes. This direct confession surprised Mica but he kissed her again. -Carlos. His lips followed her, and Mica felt embarrassed and annoyed. "Did Ie here specifically for you to kiss me?" -Stop kissing me! Mica blushed even more and didn''t even dare to look at him. But Carlos sized her up carefully. She looked thinner, so he wasn''t the only one suffering this week. She was forced to look at him and noticed that he had lost weight. -Okay, let''s do something else. With that, she took his hand towards the living room. Mica noticed it was a very plush and atmospheric office. -What are you doing? Let go of me. Carlos ignored her, pushed the door to the living room, then closed it. Then he pulled her towards the bed, with a force, Mica fell with a cry of surprise, then he caressed her along the waist.... Mica''s heart was beating fast and she struggled to pull away.... -Do you want to tell me to stop pressuring your friend''spany? His voice rang in her ears, causing her to immediately ask in return: -Yes! Why are you doing this? Carlos looked at her, as he untied her hair ring. -What are you doing...? Mica''s scream made Carlos think the force was too strong, so his movements became softer: Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -How can we sleep without untying him? -Who''s going to sleep with you? -Didn''t you want me to stop pressuring your friend''spany? Mica felt puzzled, wondering what this had to do with him untying her hair ring. However, Carlos pulled her into his arms: -Then keep quiet and go to sleep. "You mean, if I sleep with him, I''d stop putting pressure on Alba''spany?" "Does he think I''m a bitch?" Mica was furious and wanted to push him away, but she saw that he seemed to have fallen asleep. The dark circles under his eyes... were they the result of not having slept well? But on the contrary, although Mica was also very sad, she didn''t experience any insomnia! She felt very strange. She had decided not to get involved with him, but now she was lying with him? "I slept well, howe I''m sleepy again?" They slept together for how long, before being awakened by the vibration of a phone. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, there was a momentary trance. She came to look for Carlos, but he dragged her to the bed.... When she entered, she had noticed that the curtains were up, now, they were down. Carlos was still asleep, wrapped around her waist. The phone kept vibrating, and Carlos showed no signs of waking up, so Mica reached for it.... And she also saw his phone was on the bedside table! Mica didn''t have time to think about it, she picked up her phone, and only saw Diego''s name. As time was up, she automatically hung up the phone, while she noticed the screen image, lost.... It was a picture she had postedst week, that she was sitting on the bus.... "The screen image on your phone is a picture of me.... " All of Mica''s reasoning, at this moment, copsed.... Carlos stirred, apparently about to wake up and his phone vibrated again. She rushed to wake Carlos up: -Carlos, it''s for you! Carlos finally woke up, and seeing Mica, next to him, he felt extraordinarily happy. He had not slept well since she left and now he felt energized. He kissed her before getting up and picking up the phone. She saw him get up and draw the curtains. In thete afternoon sun it shone on Carlos'' tall figure, as if it had gilded him with a dazzling edge.... Mica was a little dazed and hesitated. "Should I give up such a good man, is the result really so important?" Chapter 108 : You Just Treat Me Badly Chapter 108 : You Just Treat Me Badly Chapter 108 : You Just Treat Me Badly Mica looked away from him, but saw her own phone on the bedside table. She wasn''t carrying her purse today, so her phone was originally in her skirt pocket. Then she looked at her position again, at first she had fallen on her side on theforter, she hadn''t even taken off her shoes, but when she woke up, she had slept on the pillow and had taken off her shoes.... "It was he who pulled down the curtains, took out the phone, took off my shoes and took me to sleep on the pillow .... " "Mother of mine... " "I didn''t even wake up like this?" After straightening her mind, she got up, put on her shoes, and tidied the nket, then saw Carlos hanging up the phone and approaching. He stroked her hair and whispered in her ear: -You look beautiful today. Mica looked at him uncertainly. -On stage," Carlos looked at her and exined. Mica bit her lips, a little embarrassed: -You, did you watch the live broadcast? Carlos yed with her hair and answered: -Yes, it was so incredible that I wanted to hide you to let me watch alone. -I... Carlos, however, interrupted him: -I have something urgent to do. Wait for me, okay? Mica blushed and nodded randomly. Carlos let go of her hair and lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes: -Don''t tie your hair in front of me in the future. Looking into his eyes, Mica''s heart beat faster, and after looking at the screen of her phone, she felt something special.... Carlos was in a good mood because of her shy face and left. "Summer is so hot, how hot it is without tying up your hair!" Mica took a look, that in this open living room, there was arge closet, a small dining table, a sofa and a very simple style of furniture. She went into the bathroom and washed briefly, but didn''t tie her hair after all. When she came out, she sat down on the couch, finding a text message on her phone, from Matthew. -Thanks, the crisis has lifted. Sorry I can no longer help you find a suitable ce to run an orphanage. If you need anything, contact Alba directly. That was to say, she never contacted him again. Mica frowned. "The crisis has lifted, which means Carlos has taken the pressure off yourpany?" "How many things has he done while I was asleep?" "Carlos is zealous?" "It''s too much overkill." And he''s used this to threaten me toe looking for him?" Mica got up, walked to the door and opened the door to the living room, then, a multitude of eyes looked her way. The president''s office actually hid such a breathtaking beauty. The whole body emitted an aura of nobility and iparable beauty. Carlos was originally sitting there reading the information while listening to themment. As they suddenly ran out of voice, he looked up and saw Mica at the door of the living room, he immediately stood up and she had just shrunk inside, closing the door immediately. Ignoring the surprise of the attendants, she came striding in. Mica squatted on the floor, both hands covering her face, feeling embarrassed.... He thought she was cute as a mushroom. When Mica looked up, she saw Carlos smiling softly, and he reached out his hand, gesturing, and she handed him hers.... Carlos made strength and she threw herself into his arms. -Are you hungry? Wait a little longer. I''ve called the restaurant to have the food delivered, and there''s an ipad on the table if you get bored..... Mica put her hands around his waist, this action let Carlos know that she had probably changed her mind and was no longer thinking of leaving him. He stroked her head and asked in a low voice: -What''s wrong? Mica shook her head, and looked at him: -If I hadn''te looking for you, would you have continued to put pressure on Mateo''spany...? ? -You''re definitelying. -How do you know that? -Because you don''t want your friends to be sad and upset, you only treat me badly. He wanted to apologize but stopped himself: -So, what about the fact that I didn''te? As Carlos was about to answer him, a knock sounded at the door. He turned to open the door, and Diego was standing with a box of dinner. Carlos picked it up, closed the door again, cing the box on the dining room table. -Come eat something to fill your stomach. I''ll get back to you when things are done. She came over, and indeed she was hungry because it was already dusk. When she saw that he was turning to leave, Mica asked unconsciously: -Don''t you eat together? As there were many people waiting for him outside and he had to take care of things first. -Honey, do you love him? Mica blushed slightly, and did not deny it. Carlos felt joy as he whispered in her ear: -I''d rather eat you..... Mica''s heart beat fiercely faster and he continued: -Eat what you cook, hahaha. Mica was embarrassed.

Chapter 109 : Do You Still Remember Your Statement? Chapter 109 : Do you still remember your statement? The attendees were once again dumbfounded. "That girl really threw the president out!" "And he was still smiling." "That''s the first time this week I''ve seen the president smile." Everyone couldn''t help but look at each other and conclude in their hearts that this girl was definitely extraordinary. After filling her stomach and cleaning up the mess, Mica sat down on the couch and looked at the contract Eric had given her.... "When I walked into his office, I dropped it on the floor, and Carlos picked it up, right?" "So you read it?" He started to read it, but he didn''t know anything about the modeling business, so he didn''t understand many of the official words in the contract. And then, he was sleepy after lunch, and thought: -I''m going to take a mini-nap..... It was already eight o''clock in the evening when Carlos finished his business. He opened the living room door and saw Mica asleep on the sofa, even more charming. Looking at her face, which was noticeably thinner. "You haven''t been sleeping well these days, have you?" Only thanks to the after effects of hypnosis, she could fall asleep in time. "Why are you torturing yourself like this?" Carlos leaned over to call out to her in a soft voice: -Mica, wake up. Mica slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Carlos standing in front of her, she unconsciously said: -Carlos, I''m sorry... -What? -I''m... Mica paused, and stood up violently. "Why, I''ve fallen asleep again!" "What did I mean?" Carlos asked quietly: -Do you still remember your statement? -He said and helped her up. -What? "What is my statement?" Looking at her confused look, Carlos took her in his arms. Mica blushed and turned her head to the side to look at the night scene. Next to the couch was an entire wall of ss. Looking down from about sixty stories, both the lights and the neon glowed beautifully. Mica couldn''t help but exim: -How beautiful! Carlos let go of her and she immediately moved towards the ss wall, leaning back to look at the scenery outside. It turned out that the night scene of Tdia was so beautiful. And Mica unconsciously looked in a certain direction.... Carlos approached her and pointed in the direction she had just looked: -There''s Nyisrenda. In fact, she wanted to look up the location of her house.... Mica blushed, but was not discovered by him. Then he pointed to another address again: -There is yourpany. Mica looked and felt as if she was particrly far from here. Carlos moved his position again: -And there, that''s where we will live from now on. "What does that mean?" When she wanted to ask him, Carlos took her hand and said: This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. -Ya, I''m hungry, let''s go home. Mica''s attention was immediately diverted: -You haven''t had dinner yet? It must be at least nine o''clock? -No, let''s go. When Carlos took her out, she saw the folder on the table and hurried to pick it up. And he didn''t ask any more questions even though he had leafed through it. "Brinte wants to hire my wife, which shows great ss." Carlos took her hand and went out. When he opened the door to the salon, Mica unconsciously tried to flinch and, seeing that no one was outside, she carefully examined the office. It was spacious and decorated in cool tones. Carlos did not stop and led her straight out of the office. Diego was standing next to the elevator, and when he saw the two of them walk out with sped hands, he couldn''t help but smile and greeted her respectfully: -Hello, Miss Noboa. -Hello, Mr. Ocampo. Mica hurried to answer him. The door opened and Diego entered the elevator behind them, pressing the button for the subway parking. As Diego was also here, Mica tried to free his hand, but Carlos held on tighter. She had to give up... It wasn''t long before they arrived in a special elevator. The parking lot was very wide, with lights shining on the rows of valuable cars. Amazed, Mica asked: -Are there a lot of people working overtime? "What a good sry to work here, they all drive such expensive cars? " -Miss Noboa, these are Mr. Aguayo''s cars, and this is his parking lot -Diego exined with a smile. Mica suddenly remembered at the banquet, Mr. driver told her that Carlos had many cars. It turned out to be true. Nyisrenda also had a subway parking lot, but Mica had never been there. This one in front of her already shocked her to no end.... She couldn''t help but feel a little depressed as she noticed the disparity between them. Carlos frowned and looked at Diego: -Walk back. "What?" Diego became confused. As Carlos climbed into one of the cars and set off with Mica. "I''m telling the truth! What did I say that upset you?" *** Looking outside, Mica thought that Carlos would take her to Nyisrenda, but seeing the scene of the unfamiliar street, and immediately thought that she had not had dinner, she was probably going to have dinner. Then she was surprised at her own thoughts! Was she really looking forward to Carlos taking her back to Nyisrenda? She felt embarrassed. "I''m the one who wants to go back, and I''m the one who wants to leave..... " Chapter 110 : You Do The Cooking, And ILl Do The Dishes. Chapter 110 : You Do The Cooking, And I''Ll Do The Dishes. Chapter 110 : You do the cooking, and I''ll do the dishes. It urred to Mica that Alba''s question: Does he agree with your separation? "So, is he okay with it?" Carlos paid attention to her rich expression and said nothing. Only then he got out of the car, came back from his confused thoughts. And he was surprised to discover that he was actually in the neighborhood where she lived, Barrio Fann. She was again a bit puzzled and looked at Carlos in disbelief: -Shouldn''t you go to dinner first? Carlos took her by the hand and headed towards the building: -Yes, but I like your kitchen better. Mica suddenly remembered, that a moment ago he pointed in a certain direction, and told her that it was the ce where we lived in the future. And that address, it seemed to be here.... The elevator opened, Carlos went straight to the luxurious door, deftly unlocked the password, turned on the lights and stepped inside. She was a bit puzzled: -Carlos... -What? Carlos put his jacket on the sofa and looked around the home. Although it wasn''t the first time he came here, it felt more homey when Mica was there. -Didn''t you say you were going home? Carlos approached her and asked: -Last time you said you didn''t want to be with me, right? She didn''t try to exin why she said that that day. She really wanted to get away from him. Although her brain ordered her to stay away rationally, her heart was not willing to obey.... Without waiting for her to respond, he continued: -Since you don''t want to be with me, then I''ll be with you. What? She felt surprise and unconsciously asked in turn: -What difference does it make? -Of course there is. I''m with you and you''re going to keep me alive. You promised me. Mica remembered that she apologized to Carlos when they were having dinner at Celotierra, but when he asked her to change the word to something else, she actually changed it to: I''m keeping you alive. "Is this the statement you are referring to?" -Remember? Haha, you have to keep your promise. -I... -Mica blushes- -How can I keep your life.... ? -You can, and I''m really hungry now. Mica then remembered that she hadn''t had dinner yet: -I''m going to prepare something for you.... However, Carlos answered her with a kiss... He kissed her tenderly, not wanting to let her go until they were both breathless. She pushed him away and walked towards the kitchen with a red face. Except for the noon meal at thepany, the other two meals, she cooked herself at home, so the fridge was full of fresh ingredients. Carlos went to get the contract that Mica had just ced in the cupboard, sat down on the sofa and read it carefully. He didn''t know when she would show it to him herself. When Mica had prepared dinner, she saw Carlos looking at the contract with a serious face. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. In fact, when Eric put the contract in front of him, the first thing that came to his mind was that he wanted to show it to her. So, had she been so dependent on him? -Carlos,e and eat. Mica shouted under her breath. Carlos put down the papers and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. There were two tes and a soup on the table, which looked delicious. But when he looked at the one set of silverware, Carlos frowned. Mica wanted to go to the kitchen to clean herself, but he called out to her: -Get out another set of silverware. -No, I''ve already eaten. -Eat with me," Carlos ignored him and looked at her. -Okay... Mica obediently went to get another set and sat down in front of him. Carlos immediately picked up his bowl and gave her half a bowl of soup. Mica looked at him and remembered all the times he had served her food. She didn''t know how long she had been used to his tenderness. Even though Carlos was hungry, he still didn''t forget to take care of Mica. When he finished eating, Carlos got up to clean the dishes, but Mica hurried to stop him. -Carlos, I''m going to wash them. -From now on, you do the cooking, and I''ll do the dishes. Then, in front of the kitchen sink, a very handsome man was washing the dishes with great care. Naturally, it was his first time.... She watched his unfamiliar movements and wanted to burst outughing. Due to the overdose of detergent, the dishes were slippery and several times they couldn''t hold them, falling into the water and sshing Carlos. Mica couldn''t help butugh out loud, and Carlos blushed slightly. He picked up a bunch of foam and put it on his face. -Hahaha, no... Mica tried to dodge him, but he was still too slow. The first time he saw herugh so merrily, Carlos became merry too. -I''m going to wash better and better in the future. Future? She was beginning to look forward to it. She took out a handkerchief to blot the water stains on Carlos'' face. She knew that he was telling her by his actions that he expected her to live an ordinary life with her.... Chapter 111 : Honey, Were You Proposing To Me? Chapter 111 : Honey, Were You Proposing To Me? Chapter 111 : Honey, were you proposing to me? Carlos lowered his head washing the dishes and said seriously: -Mica, today it doesn''t matter whether youe to visit me or not, I''ll be here tonight. A week had passed, and he reached his limit. Mica remembered that at night Carlos had told her that she would know Carlos was going to do when this business was over. Mica''s eyes watered slightly. Seeing that Carlos was wiping the foaming dishes carefully, she couldn''t help but feel tenderness. "No matter what happens in the future, let me enjoy this affection now." What will happen in the future? Let''s talk about thatter. Maybe through her own efforts, she could stand at a height not too far away from him? He would give Mica grief if she rejected him, which would break the man''s heart even more? Thinking about the picture on Carlos'' cell phone screen, Mica suddenly had an idea. She ran out and grabbed this cell phone, turned on the camera and took lots of pictures of him, while Carlos didn''t refuse her, and just smiled and let her take him. All the shots of views were concentrated on the man''s profile. Mica took a step forward, changed the rear camera for the front one, stood next to him and raised the cell phone. -Carlos, look here! Hearing what she said, Carlos raised his head, but looked at Mica, who was smiling, not at the camera. The girl pressed the button, and the picture was fixed, in which Mica was smiling and looking at the camera, while Carlos, still with a clean te in his hand, slightly tilted his head to one side, looking at Mica with a loving face, whose smile was so charming.... Mica looked at this picture and blushed.... Carlos moved her closer to take a look. He looked at Mica''s smile on the screen and said lightly: -Well, it''s well taken. send it to me. Mica opened WhatsApp and sent him all the photos she had just taken. Carlos put all the dishes in the disinfection cab and felt that it was all over. He wiped his hands and rolled down his rolled up sleeves. Carlos thought he had done something great and waited for Mica to praise him. -Sit on the couch," Mica pushed him down. After talking, he turned around and went back to the kitchen, picked up the rag, cleaned the sink and the foam on the tform, fixed everything and even mopped the floor. Until the whole kitchen was clean, he stood up straight. When she left the kitchen, she saw Carlos staring unblinkingly at her. Had she been standing here? Carlos frowned, had there been so much follow-up work? Taking her hand and pulling her to sit on the couch, Carlos said: -I''ll let Sofiae. Mica shook her head. -I don''t want you to do so much housework," Carlos said. -It''s all right. This job is nothing. I like taking care of my own house. She loved keeping her living environment clean and tidy. She had never felt tired. When she was in the Elvira family, she did more than that, but Mica didn''t say anything about it, but answered her with humor unlike usual: -Besides, it costs me a lot to support you. If Sofiaes too, we''ll have to sleep outdoors! Carlos lifted the corner of his mouth. She had already epted that he would continue to stay here. However, whether she agreed or not, he would always be by her side. -I see. You want to enjoy the world with just the two of us left, don''t you? -Carlos raised his eyebrows and said: -I, I, I don''t think so! -Mica almost choked. -Well, here''s what I think," Carlos smiled and admitted. Mica blushed. -Have you decided to sign this contract? -Carlos took the contract on the table and asked. Mica looked at him with a serious look immediately: -Mr. Eric said that as long as I sign the contract, he will pay me 800 thousand euros in advance, so I can buy thend of the orphanage..... Since he had decided to live together, Mica told him about all the causes and consequences sincerely. Looking into his ck eyes, Mica became a little nervous, but said carefully, word by word: -Carlos, I know that 800 thousand euros are a drop in the ocean for you, but I don''t want to always depend on you, consume you and enjoy everything of yours as if I deserved it -Carlos waited patiently for her to organize thenguage-. You are constantly moving forward, while I depend on you without progress, that''s why the distance between us is getting farther and farther. That''s not what I want. Carlos, I feel like getting closer to you, and bing a more suitable partner of yours.... After saying this, Mica''s heart beat fast. She blushed, her eyes moist. She said what she wanted to say and felt relieved in this one moment. Carlos reached out and hugged her, touching the top of her hair. -Honey, were you proposing to me? -Carlos was thrilled. Mica''s face turned redder. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -Don''tugh at me. I just... -I know. You want to be a more remarkable bride and marry me, don''t you? Mica felt very embarrassed when she heard Carlos put it bluntly. And suddenly Mica realized something, pushed him and asked: -You live with me because you want to marry me, don''t you? Seeing the mes of doubt leaping in the girl''s eyes, Carlos suddenly wanted to tease her with interest. -Well... I haven''t thought about it so much for now.... Mica stood up abruptly, pointed a slender finger at him and said in a loud voice: -You''re a bastard! -Why? -Carlos leaned back on the sofa and askedzily. -All love contacts that are not for the purpose of marriage are dishonest. So you''re a bastard! -Mica said without hesitation: Carlos reached out his hand and grabbed hers, with out, and she fell into his arms. He whispered in her ear: -I know. You''re so anxious to marry me.... -That I''m not. I''m not keeping you any longer. Go away... -Mica blushed, struggling to pull away from his embrace, and said angrily. -Tontita... Carlos hugged her tightly to prevent her from breaking free. The words he said in her ear made Mica calm down immediately: -I''m not as distinguished as you think, then you don''t have to consider too much. Before I met you, I didn''t think of marrying; after I met you, I didn''t think of marrying the others. Carlos took his small hand and pressed it on the position of the man''s heart. Carlo''s soft voice could calm her down: -Here, only Mica lives. I can''t wait to take you to get the marriage certificate now. Mica felt the heart in his palm was the same as hers, beating fast. She soon realized something as she finished saying these words. He stood up and led her toward the door: -Why didn''t I consider it before, this is a good idea! He was always striving to obtain her heart so that she would willingly stand by his side. However, why would he achieve a marriage certificate first with her, bind her to his side with the title of his wife and conquer from her? -Carlos, don''t do it! -Mica was stunned. She grabbed Carlos hurriedly and said anxiously, "Carlos, don''t do it! Carlos turned and looked at Mica. -How can you be so impulsive? Today is the weekend, and it''s still dark! Chapter 112 : You Shone So Bright I CouldnT Take My Eyes Off You. Chapter 112 : You Shone So Bright I Couldn''T Take My Eyes Off You. Chapter 112 : You shone so bright I couldn''t take my eyes off you. Seeing that Mica was very restless, Carlos knew that her intention was too sudden. But then he remembered that he had not yet formally asked for her hand.... One could often see the news reporting romantic proposals, in which the girls who were proposed to were always full of happiness.... Mica, your darling, of course, should enjoy the same happiness. -And, if I work as a model, I shouldn''t get married for the time being," Mica continued. It would take her a month to graduate from college, and it would be too soon to marry.... Carlos frowned. In fact, there was such a use in the contract. ording to this use, she wasn''t even supposed to have a boyfriend! Mica threw him down to sit back on the couch. She put the contract in Carlos'' hand, blushed, looked away and said: -Since you are with me for the purpose of marriage, first be my groom! The groom is obliged to help his bride to revise thebor contract. What else should be changed in this contract? Seeing her redden, while admitting that he was her fiance, Carlos was in a good mood, reached out his hand, took her in his arms and said earnestly: -I just finished reading it. In fact, there are some uses that should be changed. Mica pushed him, looked at him and waited seriously for Carlos to say. -First of all, the contract period should be changed from five years to two years. Next, you can only ept fashion shows, not swimsuit shows! Finally, you can only attend trade shows with my approval! Mica tilted her head, thought about it and asked: -Well... I also agree with the first two points, but thest one, why do I attend the shows with your approval, not mine? "People are alwaysplicated, but you''re so naive, what if you get ripped off? But Carlos didn''t say that, but asked her calmly: -Being your boyfriend, don''t I have this right? -Well... -Mica blushed slightly and nodded. It always seemed to Mica that Carlos was subconsciously right. -Besides, you should decide yourself when she ns to officially sign the contract and when to start training in thepany should decide it -Carlos pursued the topic. The contract was stipted to be signed on the first day of next month. Carlos thought she should transition out of her job. Next month, she would have to return to the university to participate in the graduation ceremony. If she signed the contract on the first day of the same month, the route would be too rushed. -Is thepany going to allow so many changes to the contract? -Mica asked worriedly. Carlos reached out and stroked the girl''s hair, looking at her with a confident gaze: -Yes. It is a blessing for Brinte to sign with you. Mica suddenly blushed. -I... No way. I''m not that excellent.... -Darling, you are very distinguished," Carlos'' look was very sincere. Mica looked at him, expressing doubts: -Really? -Of course you are. You seem to shine so much that I can''t take my eyes off you. Mica felt even more embarrassed. In fact, it was Carlos who glowed and she was the one who couldn''t take her eyes off him, wasn''t it? Carlos checked the time, stood up and picked up his jacket. -Rest well. I''m leaving. At this moment the man''s sleeve got caught. Carlos looked back and saw Mica sitting on the sofa, who was about to get up. It seemed that she was afraid that Carlos would leave soon. -You, didn''t you say that... -the shy girl looked away, she said in a low voice. Mica was so shy that she was unable to speak. Honey, why was she so emotional? Carlos looked down at her withughter, pinched her chin, made her look at him and asked: -What did I just say? Mica became irritated with embarrassment, removed the man''s hand, stood up and pushed him towards the door: -Go away. Go quickly... Carlos smiled and hugged her. She stayed angry. How adorable she was! -Let me guess. I just said you kept me and we would live together in your house, right? So, you want me to stay, don''t you? Mica said nothing. It wasn''t normal to leave in such a hurry after they had just proposed to each other, was it? Looking at her flushed face, Carlos enjoyed it very much, but the man pretended to be worried and said: -Honey, I don''t have a change of clothes here. Of course this was not a problem. Just a phone call would get the clothes delivered to him soon. Carlos just wanted to see how Mica would react. -You got it... -Mica tucked her ara into Carlos'' chest, and said in a low voice. -How? -The night before my house flooded, you left the clothes you changed when you stayed here overnight, and I took them from the dry cleaners a few days ago.... Carlos'' smile grew even stronger. The n seeded, but he pretended to be in a dilemma. -Well, since you''ve nned ahead, I won''t let you down. Let''s wash up and go to bed! -Carlos hugged her shoulders and went upstairs. -Who wants to wash up and go to bed with you? There is another bedroom downstairs... Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Mica was hugged up the stairs by him, whose heart was beating fast, while she looked towards the room below. -That''s the servant''s room, isn''t it? Are you going to put me up there? A servant''s room? It was iprehensible. Mica was dragged by Carlos to the master bedroom upstairs. Carlos'' cell phone rang at this moment. Mica had no choice but to reserve her doubts for now. Carlos asked her to have Mica take a shower, while he answered the call. It was Tomas who went on a business trip on Carlos'' behalf. It seemed that he found himself in difficulties. Carlos was going to leave as he answered with a few sentences. Mica grabbed his sleeve again.... Carlos lifted the corners of his mouth. He liked that she trusted him so much and held him back. Covering the microphone, he took her in his arms and kissed her lightly. -Hey, rx. I''m going downstairs to use theputer. I''m not leaving," Carlos said huskily. Mica blushed with embarrassment. Carlos repressed his heartbeat, released her, turned around and walked out. Mica patted her own flushed face. Why was she suddenly so dependent on him? After settling his business, Carlos read the news on the Inte, and called Diego and asked him again to take care of the media news. The fashion show that Mica attended this day, she not only reced someone, she also caused a big sensation. By the afternoon, all the media had reported it, so if she did not protect her beforehand, she feared that Mica would be recognized when she left the house tomorrow. Although he immediately demanded that he should not expose Mica to the public, but seeing the popr reaction on the Inte, he still had to be more cautious when dealing with this matter. After finishing everything, Carlos returned to Mica''s room. She had already fallen asleep, consciously on the inside of the bed, leaving more than half of her bed there. Carlos'' heart warmed and he looked at the time. It was 11 o''clock at night. She usually fell asleep at this time. He frowned slightly, why was she going to hypnotize herself? Seeing her sleeping face, Carlos'' heart softened. As long as she was at his side, he would respect her every decision.... The next morning, the doorbell woke Mica in a daze. It was the ringing of her cell phone.... Carlos who was next to her had already checked the cell phone on the bedside table. He looked at it and hung up the ringer. Then he patted Mica''s back. Mica was so sleepy that she couldn''t wake up without an rm clock.... How? She felt something through her hand! Chapter 113 : I Really Wanted To Hide You... Chapter 113 : I Really Wanted To Hide You... Chapter 113 : I really wanted to hide you... Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Mica raised her head abruptly, opened her eyes and saw that her hand was glued to Carlos'' strong chest.... Carlos reached out his hand and pressed Mica''s head against his chest. -It''s still early. Keep sleeping," his voice was still low and hoarse after waking up: Mica''s face was flushed. She had no impression of when he appearedst night, nor of how she fell asleep in his arms.... -Why aren''t you wearing any clothes? Mica stammered. Then she looked down at herself, and the pajamas were still well on her body.... Carlos looked at her flushed face with joy and said in a low voice: -You didn''t give me pajamas. Well, it was the truth ... Mica felt so nervous that she could not stay here calmly. At this moment the cell phone rang. The girl got up hurriedly and reached across Carlos to grab her phone. She sat down relieved and answered without looking at who was calling. -Mica, you''re a bitch! Do you want to work in mypany? Mica held the phone away at once. The voiceing from the cell phone was as loud as if it could pierce the drum! The girl who made the call was trying to adjust her breathing. It sounded like Adriana was mad with rage! Adriana was dead furious. Although she had finally won first ce in the parade yesterday, Mica got the most attention! At the time, both she and Ivanna were on stage, so they didn''t know that Eric wanted to hire Mica. This morning she saw in thepany''s group on the cell phone that Eric was going to sign thest girl who came provisional yesterday, and she had already prepared the contract. Therefore, he called Mica in a hurry. Of course Carlos had heard it and remained somber. -What''s the matter? Are you afraid? Are you afraid I''ll steal all the attention? -Mica asked him. -Come on. Stop dreaming, you''d better worry about the poor little bastards at the orphanage! As she finished saying it, Adriana hung up the phone. Mica was surprised. Thinking that Adriana would undoubtedly kick the kids out of the orphanage right away, she couldn''t help but want to go sign the contract with Eric right away to take her payment and threw it to Adriana. She turned around and was about to get out of bed in a hurry, but Carlos grabbed her arm. Mica looked at him and exined anxiously: -Carlos, I''m going we are going to meet Mr. Eric.... Carlos became quiet when he heard Mica say "vamos" instead of "voy". Even she remembered that she had a boyfriend. Carlos let go of her arm, and Mica got out of bed immediately, opened the closet and handed the clothes to the man she had arranged the night before, while she turned around and took the clothes to the bathroom to change. After Mica finished washing, she deliberately spent some time in the bathroom beforeing out. Carlos was already well dressed and stood in front of the window. -Do you want to sign the contract as soon as possible and take your payment to buy thend for the orphanage? -Hearing Mica leave, Carlos asked. Mica nodded. She looked like she wanted to leave immediately. -It is not favorable for you to sign the contract with thepany in such a hurry if you want to negotiate the uses with thepany. You have to let thepany know your value. It is you who makes the decision whether to sign the contract or not, not thepany. And thepany will definitely hire you. Mica bit her lips. Of course she understood what Carlos said. -However, Adriana will definitely throw the children from the orphanage out on the street," There was a deep concern in Mica''s eyes. -Are you sure she will sell you thend if you have money? -Carlos asked. Mica was in doubt, but she believed Carlos was right after thinking about it. That was the way it was. If it was the same condition happened in the past, Adriana could have sold her thend, but right now Adriana took thisnd as Mica''s weakness, that''s why even if Mica could pay 800 thousand euros to Adriana, that woman would not sell it to Mica! -Her purpose is that she won''t let you work in herpany, so even if this time you ept her demand, Adriana will take advantage of this business to make youpromise in the future. Do you want this? Mica shook her head. The orphanage was like the Achilles heel of hers, which had already been held in Adriana''s hand. -Honey, if you can solve this problem with money alone, I think you can do it yourself. But at this point, it''s definitely not just a money problem, then let me solve this problem with our pace, okay? Mica stood in hesitation. Carlos took her in his arms and stroked the top of her hair: -Mica, you can depend on me from time to time, and even let me solve your problems. Mica smelled the man''s lovely cold breath and hesitated even more. -As your boyfriend, I have to share your troubles. Are you going to deprive me of that right? Mica didn''t know how to answer him and asked: -So what do I have to do now, do I let Adriana expel the children from the orphanage, as well as the Mother Director? -It''s still early. It will take time for Adriana to go to the orphanage. Let''s have breakfast first and then go to the orphanage. Don''t worry. I''ll help you with everything," Carlos let go of her and said. Carlos'' words reassured Mica, and finally she agreed. Mica went downstairs and into the kitchen. Carlos washed up in the bathroom and went straight downstairs. Seeing Mica busy in the kitchen through the window, he felt warm in his heart. Carlos turned on the TV and, as he expected, saw that all the media rushed to report the fashion show at Garzanca yesterday. Thank goodness he had already hidden Mica''s identity in time, the media could only publish the videos and photos from the stage and report some news about the mysterious fresh face. Mica came out of the kitchen with milk and eggs, listened to the sound on the TV, left the meals and approached Carlos. It was the first time Mica saw herself on TV. Yesterday she was so rushed that she had no time to contemte herself, who remained well dressed and made up. At this moment, she looked at herself through the screen, walking on the stage confidently, she became dazed. The presenter was praising her exaggeratedly: -It''s been more than ten hours since the Garzanca fashion show opened yesterday, but the Brinte still hasn''t positively answered the identity of the guest model especially who appeared at the end of this show, only saying that this girl would be thepany''s new model. This mystery girl has caused a lively discussion among the mainstream media! Although this woman wears a cat-eye half mask, it is hard to hide her distinguished beauty and particr temperament. This skirt designed by James makes the girl even more beautiful, as if a fairy descended into the mundane world. She will definitely be a special existence in the entertainment industry.... Mica blushed and was about to steal the remote control in Carlos'' hand: -Turn it off. What you''re saying is too exaggerated. Carlos smiled, let her turn off the TV, lifted Mica''s chin and asked in a low voice: -No, it''s not exaggeration at all. You know what I was thinking when I saw you on the live broadcast yesterday? Mica looked at Carlos, whose eyes were deep and charming, so she couldn''t stop her heartbeat from elerating. She asked him following the man''s logic without thinking: -What were you thinking? -My darling, I''m attracted to you again. I really want to hide you... Mica was embarrassed. Seeing Carlos approaching her step by step, as if the man''s breath was flooding her. Mica''s heart beat faster and slowly she closed her eyes.... Chapter 114 : A Man No Woman Could Refuse Chapter 114 : A Man No Woman Could Refuse Chapter 114 : A Man No Woman Could Refuse Just as their lips were about to meet, Mica''s cell phone rang again! Mica nudged Carlos unconsciously. Carlos frowned, who called Mica and spoiled the atmosphere between them? Mica turned around and took out her cell phone. This time she looked at the caller ID. It was Alba and she answered it. Before she started talking, Alba said to her emotionally: -Imagine! Mica, you''re amazing! You''re making headlines! You''re excellent! Mica couldn''t help but push the phone further away, thinking she should turn down the volume on the handset. -No way... -Look at you, why don''t you want to admit it in front of me? You only wore a half mask and covered your eyes, so it''s not hard for me to recognize you, right? Even if you show me a back, I''ll recognize you right away! Hearing what Alba said she felt embarrassed. But Mica was still a little touched. -She didn''t expect me to foresee it correctly. It really happened what I had said that you and Adriana will make meugh all year long! Hearing that Alba told her with joy, Mica was also affected by her mood. Smiling slightly, Mica brought pushing Carlos to the dining room table and asked him to have breakfast. Alba was so happy that she talked incessantly, and Mica could not interrupt her at all. -You have to reconcile with Mr. Aguayo as soon as possible. He did everything for you. Don''t be so arrogant, and don''t worry about the unequal position between you..... Mica was confused, what did Carlos do for her? Just as she was about to ask, Alba kept talking without paying attention to anyone: -Now the Inte is so developed. Since you caused such a sensation, it is logical that you should have been found by public yesterday afternoon, but you see, you have been trending for more than ten hours, and they don''t expose anything information of yours. This is not something that ordinary people can achieve! Mica looked with aplicated expression at Carlos, who was concentrating on peeling the eggshells sitting at the table. He put the peeled egg directly on Mica''s te, and peeled another. Wearing a ck suit, Carlos was very noble, even though he was peeling the eggs. This man had given her so much help without saying anything, but she didn''t know it. Mica''s heart was full of emotion. Alba kept talking incessantly: -And, do you know what brand of clothes you wore yesterday? Who designs them? My goodness, I''m really shocked! Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. The brand of skirt? And the designer? Mica suddenly remembered the presenter''s voice on the TV a few minutes before: -This dress designed by Jamesplements her beauty? James? Mica suddenly remembered! Thest time she was in a coffee shop, because of the special skirt Carlos gave her, she saw this designer with her own eyes! Mica didn''t regain her senses until she heard some noises. She saw Carlos, who was sitting across from her, who took a ss of milk and brought it close to her lips. Mica took a shy sip. Carlos had already cut the egg into small pieces and handed it to her with a fork, and Mica had no choice but to open her mouth. Carlos raised his eyebrows, and seemed to enjoy serving it. -Mica, it''s Master James! A genius in the design area! -Alba, on the other end of the cell phone, was talking excitedly. Mica rushed to take the ss of milk that Carlos delivered to her lips, drank it and blushed. -Tell me, why did he show up on stage at this fashion show? You looked so beautiful when he was walking on stage! I''ve seen it more than a dozen times, but it''s not enough. Mica had no choice but to hold the cell phone in one hand and the ss in the other. She briefly exined to Alba what happened to her yesterday, while Carlos fed her the pieces of eggs every now and then. Soon all the eggs and milk were consumed, but Alba still listened to what Mica said intently, asking the endless questions. Carlos stood up, picked up the tes and carried them into the kitchen. -Mica, you are amazing. By the way, yesterday you won almost 50 thousand euros in one day! Mica became doubtful. She knew that the fee for this parade was 30 thousand euros, how high was the payout! Seeming to know her doubt, Alba exined: -The fee is 30 thousand euros, and Ivanna''s shoes are 18 thousand euros, and she has already paid you in, hasn''t she? So you almost earn 50 thousand euros in total, right? -Those shoes belong to Carlos. -Mica answered. -Alba was surprised and asked: -You said the shoes were sent by Mr. Aguayo? Even though you are in the cold war, he is considered very attentive, isn''t he? Mica, you are leading a happy life without knowing it! Mica looked at Carlos through the kitchen window, who was carefully washing the dishes. She did not hide her friend and said: -The cold war is over. -What? It''s over? The girl on the other end of the cell phone was obviously very excited. She said to Mica as if she had guessed everything before: -She told you I. No woman can refuse such a perfect and high quality man! Let me guess. You''re together right now, aren''t you? If you don''t talk, I''ll take it as you admit it? Hearing Albaugh mischievously, Mica blushed even more, unable to speak at all.... -By the way, is it true that Adriana is going to sell the orphanage? How is she nning this matter? Do you want me to ask my brother...? Just as Mica was about to answer him, she heard her cell phone ring again. Someone was calling her. She looked at it quickly. It was the mother Director! -Alba, it''s the headmom calling me. I''ll talk to you when I''m free. I''m hanging up! Alba said she understood. Besides, since Mr. Aguayo was by her side, he definitely couldn''t stand by and watch with his arms crossed without helping her. No doubt Carlos was more reliable than his own brother, so he immediately hung up the phone. Mica hurriedly called the mother Director, but no one answered. Carlos came out of the kitchen, saw Mica approaching him anxiously. Mica grabbed him by the arm and said with concern. -Carlos, Adriana would have arrived at the orphanage by now. The mother Director just called me, but she didn''t manage to answer in time. I called her again, but no one answered..... Carlos bowed his head. In fact, there was no need to go to the orphanage in such a hurry, but he didn''t want Mica to get into anxiety, so he picked up his coat from the sofa and took Mica''s hand: -Let''s go. We''re leaving for the orphanage right now. They got into Carlos'' car and went straight in the direction of the orphanage. Mica was still very restless and kept calling the director, but no one answered. Mica was anxiously wondering if Adriana had done something terrible to her.... Carlos held the steering wheel with one hand, reached out another to take Mica''s andforted her: -Don''t worry. Adriana can''t do anything, you are very clear about her purpose. Mica looked at Carlos'' perfect profile and felt much calmer instantly. -Carlos, thank you... -I told you before. Don''t say thank you. Tell me other words, okay? -Carlos looked at Mica and said quietly. Chapter 115 : He Kept So Many "Love Rivals". Chapter 115 : He Kept So Many "Love Rivals". Chapter 115 : He kept so many "love rivals". Mica bit her lower lip and blushed. Thest time Carlos had said this, she had said without thinking that she would keep him. Now, she really didn''t know what to say.... Mica was always heartfelt. Carlos, smiled, but didn''t insist on a response from her. He took out his cell phone and handed it to Mica. -Call Diego," he said to Mica. Mica took the phone and saw that the screen saver image was reced by the selfie she took with Carlosst night. She smiled in front of the camera and Carlos lowered his head and looked at her, which showed an extraordinarily harmonious image... Suppressing her heartbeat, Mica quickly flipped through the call log. Diego was at the top of the list. She called him immediately and then turned on the speakerphone. The call was quickly answered. -Sir. -Tell Mr. Tassis toe to the orphanage right away. -Okay. Although Mica was puzzled, she didn''t ask him any more questions. It was still early, the road was not jammed, so they reached their destination quickly. Adriana and Marta had already been impatient waiting for them for a long time. When they saw a luxury car enter, they immediately frowned. After the car came to a stable stop, Carlos got out first and then went to the passenger seat, opened the door for Mica. Adriana was very surprised by this detailed action. Adriana was sure that this man must be a powerful person in Tdia. Seeing this person treat Mica with such care, she felt even more jealous. Marcos had never been so careful! Seeing them holding hands made Adriana even angrier! Marta found herself furious when she saw Mica. She looked more thoroughly, that man was the one who threw her for a ride at thest banquet! Fuck. what trick did Mica y to seduce such a powerful man? Mica also noticed Marta''s fierce gaze. What Marta was holding tightly in her hand was the mom Director''s cell phone, wasn''t it? It turned out that this cell phone was snatched by Aunt Marta. It was not strange that the director did not answer the call. Marta did it to make her anxious and guide her to the orphanage, right? Mica reluctantly greeted her aunt, but what she answered was a sullen snort. Mica ignored it, because the headmistress and the orphanage children behind her saw Mica and hurriedly surrounded her. -Mica! -Mica, you''re finallying! -Mica, I miss you so much! ... Carlos saw that Mica was greeting the children, while he observed the surrounding environment; In front of him was a ratherrge courtyard, and the floor was paved with stones from the previous era; There were facilities such as slides for the children in the distance, but they looked very old-fashioned; In front, a two-story, south-facing house could be seen, with clothes lying on the balcony. It should be used as children''s dormitories; To the left it was joined by another building, and it was obvious that it was used as a kitchen and dining room. Overall, it looked clean and tidy, and the facilities were well maintained. The location was good, close to which, from the nursery school to the high school, there was good transportation. It was understandable that Mica was not satisfied when she looked for other recement ces. It was appropriate for the orphanage to be ced here. Carlos was more confident in his decision. The innocent voices of the children were incessant. The director was a woman who was about 50 years old, with obvious wrinkles on her face. Seeing Carlos, a tall, handsome and remarkable man, standing next to Mica, and holding hands with the girl, she could not help but feelforted. Carlos also looked at the director and respectfully greeted her. The director was even happier. Mica was sensible when it came to choosing a boyfriend. She had always believed that Mica was a good luck girl.... Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Mica reached down, took the children''s little hands and had an intimate interaction. Carlos smiled and watched Mica interact with the children. When she was next to the children, it was as if she had be a child.... No, she was an Ang, with a halo on her head.... -Miss Mica, who is this gentleman? -a little boy of about 7 to 8 years old pointed at Carlos and asked. Carlos frowned, "Sir? Mica was a Miss, while he was a Mr.? Did he look old? Mica stood up hurriedly, took the principal''s hand and exined shyly: -Mom Director, this is Carlos Aguayo? -Hello, Mr. Aguayo," the principal greeted him. When Carlos was about to answer her, the same boy mentioned before asked aloud: -Mica, is he your boyfriend? Mica blushed. Before she could react, the boy stepped forward and grabbed Mica''s hand, looking like he was about to cry: -Mica, you can''t be his bride. When I grow up, I want to marry you! Carlos suddenly became unhappy. He reached out his hand, grabbed the back of the boy who was talking nonsense and lifted him up. Before Carlos could speak, another girl looked at Carlos with a crazed expression and turned to Mica and said, "That''s right: -That''s right Mica, marry Mario, I want to marry mister handsome! Were children of this era so precocious? Mica rescued Mario from Carlos'' hands without remedies, while Mario took advantage of this opportunity to lean against Mica and refused to separate from her. -Luna, you are shameless! The children gossiped at them with noises. Carlos rudely took the boy named Mario away from Mica and said coldly: -Brat. Mica is mine, go find someone else! The headmistress hurriedly picked up the child. Mica suddenly blushed, looked at Carlos and whispered: -Why are you arguing with a child? Carlos was not prepared topromise, and whispered in her ear: -I don''t know. You''ve kept so many "love rivals" here, haven''t you? Looking around, which child wasn''t looking at Mica warmly? Mica''s face was even redder.... Seeing that they were flirting from the side, Adriana went crazy with jealousy! She thought that, if Mica lost Marcos, she would definitely receive a heavy blow. However, she didn''t expect a man who was much better than Marcos to show up at Mica''s side so quickly, and she backed Mica to her back Mica every time! Even now Mica was going to get involved in her modeling career? Mica wanted to show her off in her area? No, she would never let this happen! Even though Mica''s current boyfriend would have powerful background, thend of this orphanage belonged to the Elvira family clearly as the legal asset! Even if he apanied Mica to support her, he couldn''t beat Adriana! Thinking thus, Adriana spoke confidently: -Please go back to flirting, old woman! Go away with these wild children without parents! Mica frowned-why did Adriana speak with such malevolence? But before Mica could speak, the innocent children turned and looked at Adriana, pointed at Adriana and said to Mica: -Mica, this olddy looks like an old witch in a storybook! Chapter 116 : It Was Natural That Whoever Offered The Highest Price Would Get It. Chapter 116 : It Was Natural That Whoever Offered The Highest Price Would Get It. Chapter 116 : It was natural that whoever offered the highest price would get it. Another boy in a id shirt pointed to Marta and said: -This is the old witch''s mother! The children immediately scoffed at them: -Two old witches! -Old witches with long noses! Mario looked at Mica and said seriously: -Mica is Snow White! I am a prince. -I am a prince! Several little children fought and Mica ran out of remedies. Adriana was so angry that she wanted to grab these children and throw them out. -Everybody shut up! -Adriana shouted furiously. They said she was a witch! It was obvious she was beautiful, wasn''t she? -Bastards, what''s wrong with your eyes? -Marta also said angrily. A smile also appeared on Carlos'' cold and stern face. The mother Director held back herughter and hurried to bend down tofort the children: -Say no more. Children, don''t be rude! At the door, a white car drove in and stopped not far away. A thin man with sses got out of the car. He immediately opened the door to the back seat. The man in the back seat was wearing a gray suit and looked around. When Adriana saw the two, she greeted them hurriedly with Marta and stood in front of the middle- aged man in the gray suit with a smile: -Mr. Lain, good morning. Why do you have time avable toe personally? -Mr. Lain, I came to confirm it again," the assistant said. Martaughed with more ttery: -That''s nice! Let''s take a look inside. The rted documents such as thend certificate areplete, don''t worry! Mr. Lain and his assistant hade here several times and wanted to get thisnd ambitiously. All the children recognized them and knew that this boss wanted to buy thisnd and throw them and mom Director for a ride. They all stood in fear and hid behind the headmom. Even the director looked at them in fear. Some children were standing directly behind Carlos. At this critical moment, it seems that this gentleman was reliable! -Mr. Lain, I have conducted a market research. There will definitely be big profits if we build a children''s amusement park here! -the assistant told Mr. Lain. Mr. Lain couldn''t help but nod to his assistant and looked at the orphanage director. Who was the man standing next to her? Temperament is so outstanding. Why did he show up here? Did hee to adopt orphans? Mr. Lain looked at Mica with suspicion, and suddenly became shocked. How beautiful this woman was! A cold look shot at him, which shook him. He unconsciously looked away to observe Mica and nced at the luxury car parked next to her. The price of this car was ten times more expensive than his own! He was sure he was a powerful man! Did thisnde topete with him? Mr. Lain frowned. It couldn''t be. He had been interested in thisnd for a long time and could not allow this young man to buy it. Immediately, he spoke to Adriana: -Miss Elvira, we sign the contract and you let these people move in as soon as possible! Marta smiled happily, ignoring the signal Adriana made, and nodded her head. Adriana was a little anxious, seeing Adriana apanying the two people to confirm the size of this ce with tape measure, she turned around and said to Mica: -Mica, I''m not talking nonsense with you anymore. You can''t work at Brinte, otherwise I''ll sell the orphanage right away and leave these poor people homeless! You see. The buyer ising personally. If you don''t want these people to sleep on the street, reject Mr. Eric! -Mom Director, another car ising in! He''s so lively today! -A boy suddenly pointed to the door and said. Mr. Lain, who was holding the tape measure, and his assistant looked at the door, Really, it was a Bentley! The price of this car was dozens of times more expensive than their white car! Mr. Lain had a feeling that it would not be easy to buy this lot today. Seeing the person who got out of the car, Mica felt that he was familiar by sight. She looked at him closely - it was Diego! Diego, he wore a suit and leather shoes on everyday days, but he wore a very casual dress today. Also his hair was different from before. The hair on his forehead wasbed back, meticulously groomed with pomade, while he wore a pair of ck-rimmed sses. He looked like an aristocratic young man. If she didn''t observe him carefully, she really couldn''t recognize Diego! Mica felt strange. In the past, Diego had respected Carlos very much, and even greeted her in a friendly manner to Mica. But at this moment, why did he behave like a stranger? Carlos held Mica''s hand tightly, instructing her to keep silent. Although Mica was puzzled, she agreed. Diego walked directly to Adriana''s side and asked her politely: -Srta. Elvira, I have heard talk that you are eager to sell thisnd. Diego looked more handsome in this dress today, as in ordinary times he always wore a simple, stiff dress, which made Mica not recognize him as the person who sent her the shoes yesterday. Diego stared at Adriana without hiding his sharpness, which made this woman''s heart beat faster, so he said to her with a softer tone: -How do you know myst name is Elvira? -The famous and popr model, Adriana, who won first ce in the Garzanca fashion show yesterday. Who doesn''t know you in Tdia? -Diego smiled. Adriana immediately felt proud, covering her mouth andughing. Meanwhile, Mr. Lain was restless. He hurriedly approached them and said anxiously: -Sir, I have been in contact with Miss Elvira for a long time and the price of thend is almost negotiated? -How much did yourpany offer? -Diego asked directly. -600 thousand euros! Mr. Lain thought the price was very fair and reasonable! Mica frowned, Adriana said it was 800 thousand euros! But what Diego said next made her astonished! -Miss Elvira, I think thisnd is worth more than 600 thousand euros. you can consider it and sell it to Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. me! Mr. Lain and his assistant were uneasy: -Sir, it can''t be like that. Since ancient times, the one who gets to negotiate first will be eligible to make the deal.... -That''s right. How many times has our Mr. Lain run for this business. Who are you? How can youe directly to snatch thisnd? -You haven''t signed the contract yet, have you? -Diego asked slowly. Mr. Lain paused and said: -Well... We can sign the contract right now! The director and Mica looked at Carlos uneasily, but only saw Carlos raise his hand and check the time. -Calm down. Let''s see," Carlos said quietly. -You are not the only ones who see the business opportunities of thisnd. I am willing to pay 700 thousand Euros to buy thisnd -Diego said calmly. Adriana got into hesitation, while Marta was extremely happy: -You two, since you both want to buy it, then, of course, the one who offers the highest price will get it! Mr. Lain frowned. The location of thend was good. Transportation was good. Near it many residents were staying and all kinds of surrounding schools were avable. Therefore, there was absolutely no need to worry about the source of tourists when running an amusement park. However, how could anyone interfere with their business? Whoever offered the highest price would get it, wouldn''t they? Mr. Lain gritted his teeth and said: -I''m willing to pay 800, 000 euros! Mr. Lain thought he had already offered a much higher price, that gentleman was definitely going to give it up, wasn''t he? -I am willing to pay 900 thousand euros! -Diego smiled, looked at Adriana and said without hesitation. Chapter 117 : No, IM Not Going To Give You A Penny. Chapter 117 : No, I''M Not Going To Give You A Penny. Chapter 117 : No, I''m not going to give you a penny. One hundred thousand euros were added again! Mr. Lain and his assistant''s legs buckled in an instant, but Mr. Lain had also watched thend for a long time, and would feel a little sorry if it was stolen, then he couldn''t help but talk to Diego. -Sir, I have business cooperation with the Elvira Family. We are friends, it will be overkill if you steal the Diego was not anxious and answered calmly. -The business field is like a battlefield. There are no permanent friends. Besides, the way to buy and sell is voluntary. You can consult Miss Elvira if she wants to sell you or not. Obviously my offer is more sincere than yours! Adriana and Marta shuddered when they heard the nine hundred thousand euros all of a sudden. For the moment Adriana did not want to sell thend and did so simply to threaten Mica. If Mica insisted on working at Brinte, Adriana would sell thend again - and kick everyone out of the orphanage in front of Mica! However, Adriana was very excited about the offer. Marta was overjoyed because she had always advocated selling thend for money! She spoke to Adriana in a low voice. -Adriana, it''s nine hundred thousand euros! Don''t worry about Mica working in yourpany. She couldn''t be yourpetitor. Besides, you can beat her in your ce, can''t you? Adriana felt even more shocked and nced at Mica and her boyfriend. If I were going to sell the Mr. Lain looked at Adriana and suddenly reacted. -Elvira, if you think the price is unreasonable, we can negotiate it, but it''s not appropriate if you ask someone toe here to raise the price! Mr. Lain became furious! He thought this man would be someone from Adriana! -Mr. Lain, I didn''t ask him toe. Saying that, Adriana began to have doubts whether it was him who was going to pay nine hundred thousand euros. She could not help but ask carefully. -Sir, whichpany are you from? Diego did not blush or gasp and fabricated stories. -Myst name is Mancebo. Adriana automatically searched her mind for who he was. With so much money and a luxury car worth millions of euros, hisst name was Mancebo, would he be from the Mancebo Group? The Mancebo Group was rich and the head of Solnaciente, which was part of the Mancebo Group, was about the same age. At that time, Adriana calmed down and wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Mica. -Mr. Lain, I am very sorry. I can''t sell you thend now, I think it''s really worth nine hundred thousand euros and even more! Mr. Lain was quite angry and looked at Marta angrily. -Well, we have been doing cooperation for many years but you are cheating me like this. Our cooperation is over! Then he left in anger. Marta did not want to listen to him either because she believed that Grupo Elvira would be more powerful with the nine hundred thousand euros as liquid assets and would not worry about theck of cooperation with Mr. Lain. Seeing that, Mica was a bit anxious, she shook Carlos'' hand and asked in a low voice. -What''s going on, is he pretending to be Ernesto, is he going to spend nine hundred thousand euros to buy thend? Carlos looked at Mica with a smile. -Baby, calm down! Mica didn''t understand him anymore, but she saw Adriana and Marta approaching. -Mica, you''reing with your boyfriend to buy thend, aren''t you? Seeing Mica bite her lip without answering, Adriana continued saying. -You know that this gentleman has made us an offer of nine hundred thousand euros. Whoever has the highest price wins. If your boyfriend can pay a million, I''ll sell you thend! And you can even work in thepany if you want! We''llpete fairly in the future! I''m going to give you a chance to experience failure in front of me. Carlos smelled Adriana''s perfume and took a step back. However, Adriana thought he was so afraid that she shuddered, so sheughed more wildly. -Mica, it seems that your boyfriend doesn''t have the capacity to pay even a million, so he gave way out of fear. Suddenly Diego stepped forward and said to Adriana. -Miss Elvira, take a step back, please. Our master is not used to your perfume. Adriana immediately became angry. Wasn''t he used to your perfume? What he used was from Fracimon Nation. It was very expensive. What did he call Mica''s boyfriend? Our lord? -A million euros, right? Suddenly Carlos spoke. Adriana didn''t have time to consider the details, she paused for a while and thought emotionally if he was willing to pay a million. At the beginning when he bought thend, she only paid more than a hundred thousand euros. In the case, she would go to earn ten times! She gave up other ideas at that moment. -Yes, a million! I''ll sell you if you pay me like that! "Definitely the man can afford it, and besides, he''s very much in love with Mica, he must be nice to spend the money for her." Marta looked like she had seen more than a mountain of money and was drooling with excitement. Carlos nced toward the ck car heading into the yard, shed a sneer and said quietly. -No, I''m not going to give you a penny. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Marta and Adriana gasped without understanding his words. -Well, Mica, it seems that your boyfriend is getting puffed up about himself. His scornful attitude irritated Mica. She didn''t mind talking bad about her, but when she heard the mockery for Carlos, she felt furious at once. -Adriana, mind your manners! I won''t allow you to talk about him like that! Noticing Mica''s anxiety to protect him, Carlos smiled and looked at her very kindly. Marta was used to Mica''s obedience in the Elvira Family, so she felt particrly ufortable seeing her spines like a hedgehog and immediately responded. -Your permission? Mica, I have to remind you that your boyfriend is not able to pay, maybe he is a liar who is pretending to be the rich second generation. Don''t lose both body and possessions! You still want to take him to buy thend, but he doesn''t want to pay a penny! Adriana scoffed, then turned proudly and said to Diego. -Mr. Mancebo, let''s sign the contract! Then she turned to talk to the president. -Olddy, get out of here at once. From today this ce is not your orphanage. An unfamiliar male voice sounded behind Adriana and Marta. -Are you Miss Elvira and Mrs. Garcia? They both turned around. What happened? More people? Marta didn''t even see who wasing, so she shouted. -Are you alsoing to buy thend? I have to tell you that whoever has the highest price wins. Now the price is nine hundred thousand euros. I''ll sell it to you if you can pay more than that! Adriana looked at the two people in front of her, who were dressed in very normal clothes, with a very general car. They looked like they were not from a bigpany. -Sorry, but we are not here to buy thend but to acquire it. The man who digested ahead with sses rolled his eyes at the mother and daughter who stood there stunned, walked towards Carlos, bowed slightly and said respectfully. -Mr. Aguayo, I''m so sorry, we were dyed by an ident on the highway. Chapter 118 : Trying To Steal A Chicken Only To End Up Losing The Rice! Chapter 118 : Trying To Steal A Chicken Only To End Up Losing The Rice! Chapter 118 : Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice! Carlos nodded to show understanding. Adriana and Marta were even more shocked. The man was so respectful to Mica''s boyfriend, was he her people? The man nodded as well and turned to walk back to face Adriana. He took a folder from the assistant''s hand next to him, opened it and handed it to Adriana. -Miss Elvira, Mrs. Garcia, Ie on behalf of the Andanand agency to officially expropriate your -Wow. They were both astonished and felt a little overturned. The president and Mica were also surprised by the expropriation. Why would she expropriate thend? If it were acquired, would the orphanage inevitably move in? Adriana realized that she was in Andana and being a citizen in the country, she knew very obviously that in the simplest and clearest way of saying,nd expropriation was that the relevant departments of Andana would buy thend at the lowest price and use it for another reason, which was simply like confiscation. Martha also gave the reaction and responded loudly. -We reject expropriation! -Mrs. Garcia, it is the obligation of all citizens to cooperate with the Andana system. Our expropriation is mandatory. If you refuse, we have the right to take further action. Here are the documents for you to read. -Besides, you are a public figure, it will really embarrass you to get in the news and it will definitely have a big impact on your career. His words left Adriana trembling even more. The man continued. -Another thing, we willpensate you for your losses. Marta asked unconsciously. -How much is thepensation? If hepensated them five hundred thousand euros or six hundred thousand euros, I would ept it because no one was capable of foolishly confronting the relevant departments of Andana. Martha thought so in her heart but she heard the man saying. -The standard fornd acquisition in Andana is fifteen euros per square meter. Here there is a total of one thousand square meters, so it is fifteen thousand euros. The man with sses gave the price very quickly. The mother and daughter became so angry that as if they were going to vomit blood! Fifteen thousand euros? They spent over a hundred thousand euros to get thend! Surely it was to acquire thend, not to steal it obviously? It would definitely cause a huge loss! Adriana took several deep breaths and calmly made an analysis. If there was a dispute overnd acquisition, it shouldn''t be that easy. Then she approached Diego hurriedly pulling him and said. -Sir, I am sorry, but you cannot do the expropriation on behalf of Andana, because we have just finished negotiating the price with the Mancebo Group and soon thend will be yours. Look, there is a dispute over thisnd, that''s why, it does not meet the requirements of the acquisition! She then winked frantically at Diego but he spoke to Adriana. -I''m very sorry, Miss Elvira. Since thisnd in Andana is going to be expropriated, of course I will make the cooperation without conditions. Well, I can''t buy it. Marta gasped. The boiled duck was going to fly like that? Nine hundred thousand euros! Diego went on. -I was joking with you a little while ago. Myst name is not Mancebo but Ocampo. I am an assistant to our lord. Then Diego stood up behind Carlos. The mother and daughter were even more furious. Adriana looked at Carlos and Diego angrily and asked. -In fact, you are a team. Youe to dy the time and irritate Mr. Lain because he really wants to buy thend. Then you wait for the relevant departments to arrive, right? Carlos scoffed. -You''re not stupid yet. Mica and the president looked at them for unknown reasons, thinking about what really happened. They didn''t care whosend it was, but they worried about the end of the orphanage. Diego saw that Carlos didn''t feel like talking to other women anymore and then exined. -Right. Miss Elvira, you are not happy as a snake is going to swallow an elephant. If you hadn''t sold the ie stable? -Since you insist on selling thend to others to build an amusement park, our lord cannot ignore this case. Look, it''s already been a theme park here, hasn''t it? Diego looked around while Mica also turned unconsciously. The children did not have the patience to listen to the adults and had alreadye out to y one by one. The smiles of the children on the slide rang out. -Yes, here is the amusement park for homeless children! Tears filled the eyes of the president who looked at Carlos with a grateful look, understanding her motive. Carlos took Mica''s hand and nced at the bespectacled man, whereupon the man said hurriedly. -There is no need to move the orphanage. The president also does not need to worry about funds for the children in the future. Not only will thend be expropriated by Andana, but also from today, the orphanage is not private but state-run, and Andana will bear all the expenses. The president vehemently grabbed the hand of the bespectacled man whose tears fell. -Thank you very much for remembering our poor children. Every year I have solved the relevant departments for this private orphanage to be the state one, however, there are too many cumbersome procedures and many of our documents are notplete. I am very concerned that after my death, these children are still not grown up. Mica saw the president crying, her eyes were red and tears welled up as well. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Carlos wiped away Mica''s tears in anguish and whispered in her ear. -Tonta, I do everything to please you, why are you crying? The bespectacled man let go of the president''s hand and said without daring to take credit. -You should thank Mr. Aguayo, because he is the one who manages all the procedures and makes everything go smoothly. Mica''s heart was beating fast and she looked at Carlos in disbelief. He solved all the orphanage''s problems at once! She cried even harder. The president looked at Carlos with gratitude whose tears were streaming down her face, and she was speechless with emotion. That was her wish in her whole life! Mica turned to hug the president, consoling her and crying. -Mom Director, now you can be calm. She still didn''t finish her words and was taken in Carlos'' arms again. -Baby, you can only cry in my arms, I don''t allow you to hug her even if she is a woman! Suddenly Mica blushed and burst outughing. Everyone else on the site was forced to feel her love! The bespectacled man coughed slightly and handed the document to Adriana. -Miss Elvira, sign it, please! It was an irresistible signature. As a public figure, once she refused this kind of charity, if reported on the Inte, her image would bepletely ruined. Besides, she had no choice but to defy Andana! Adriana trembled with anger while Marta also looked at Carlos and Mica with great fury. The fault was theirs! They let her lose the nine hundred thousand euros and offend Mr. Lain. It really was like trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice! Adriana signed the name with a trembling hand. From that moment on thend had nothing to do with her. Chapter 119 : Being On Top To Match You. Chapter 119 : Being On Top To Match You. Chapter 119 : Being on top to match you. -Miss Elvira, thank you very much for cooperating with us. Fifteen thousand euros will be credited to your ount within three working days. The bespectacled man spoke ording to official principles. The huge difference between nine hundred thousand euros and fifteen thousand euros left Marta with an uneptable sense. She wondered if she was dreaming. -Fifteen thousand euros? What''s the difference between this and a free gift? Adriana asked disappointedly, and the bespectacled man continued to say loudly at once. -Miss Elvira, do you want to give away thend to Andana? How remarkable is your behavior! We will send you an embroidered g to pay tribute to her in the evening! What? She wasn''t even going to get the fifteen thousand euros for a prayer? Adriana and Marta were stupefied. -Miss Elvira''s fact is really very surprising! Diego said with a smile. The president was also incredulous but still very grateful. -Thank you very much, Miss Elvira, you are very kind! The assistant next to the bespectacled man also gave apliment. -Miss Elvira''s image is much more outstanding in an instant, even better than yesterday on the catwalk! Adriana could not refute the ttery, so she could only swallow her teeth in her stomach. In short, it was true that she didn''t get a penny and thend was gifted to Andana who continued to run the orphanage here. Except for the great loss of the Elvira Family, everyone was happy! -Mr. Tassis. Suddenly Carlos said. The bespectacled man stood respectfully in front of Carlos. -Mr. Aguayo, tell me. -I am going to donate on behalf of the Aguayo Group two million euros to the orphanage as funds to renovate the environment. Adriana was stunned. He had just insulted her that he became so proud of himself and immediately lost face because he was going to donate two million euros all at once. Diegopleted the check and handed it directly to the president. -I give the money directly to the president, is there a problem? Diego asked. -Of course not! The bespectacled man answered immediately. If the money was delivered to Mr. Tassis, after several procedures, he would not know how much remained in the hands of the president. Without the consultation, Carlos could be sure that Mica would definitely refuse. Indeed Mica seemed hesitant to say anything. -Baby, you can donate money for the orphanage per month, won''t you allow me to make the donation too? This money is not for you but for the public welfare! Even though he said it like that, Mica still had a psychological burden. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to look at him with gratitude. Adriana gritted her teeth observing their sweet interaction. She was in the spotlight for a while and then, did she be normal in the blink of an eye? -Mr. Aguayo, the issues are settled. I''m going to deal with other rted matters. Goodbye. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Carlos nodded, and Mr. Tassis left with his assistant, taking the documents in his arms. Diego stepped forward and asked. -Sir, should we leave? Mr. Tomas is already on his way back and will be arriving soon. Carlos nodded and looked at Mica. Mica nced at Adriana. -She said, "Be that as it may, thank you very much for donating thend to Andana. You said that we willpete fairly in the future, so I hope you will keep your promise. Then he looked at Marta. -Before, my father''s Noboa Group was robbed by you and finally went bankrupt. You know, I will not leave things like this! Marta looked away and was so distraught that her intestines were about to turn blue at that moment. Not wanting to say more, she threw the president''s phone that had been in her hand to the ground and walked to her car. Adriana didn''t get what she wanted but Mica was going to work at Brinte, so she felt an annoyance, looked at Mica very angrily and left together with her mother. Mica said goodbye with the president and Carlos opened the car door. As soon as Mica was about to get into the car nostalgically, Mario, who was always next to the president, shouted. -Mr. Aguayo! Carlos looked at the boy unhappily. It was undeniable that he was very attractive, but why was such a beautiful boy abandoned in the orphanage? It seemed that Mario had made a great determination, he nced at Mica and said: -Many thanks to you. A little while ago you looked very handsome, I allow you to be Mica''s Prince Charming! But if you dare to mistreat her, I will never let you go! Diego looked at the boy with surprise. "What nerve you have to talk tough to our boss!" The president rushed to take Mario away but Carlos raised his hand to stop her. Carlos took a step forward and squatted down, looking directly into Mario''s amber eyes, and said in a low, pleasant voice. -Not only have I been handsome recently, but I am handsome at any time. Mica is my wife and I don''t need your permission. And you, you have to be stronger to protect the orphanage, ok? Mario nodded vigorously with admiration in his eyes. -I''ll be as strong as you! Carlos nodded with a smile, then stood up and waved to Mica who blushed to get into the car. The president and the children stood at the door of the orphanage, watching the two cars drive off until they could no longer see them. The president raised her head to look at the sky. "It''s nice weather. It''s getting better." Mica sat in the passenger seat and looked at Carlos, who was driving earnestly, and was moved. She believed he would spend the money to buy thend from Adriana, but she didn''t expect him to let the people in the orphanage directly without worrying about the rear end and have it be a public orphanage with no problems in financing, so it would be much better both in life for the children and in education in the future! Some children would even be able to get in touch with their parents! Carlos turned to take a look at her and asked. -Do you still want to contract with Brinte? You don''t need the eighty thousand euros now. In order to prevent her from earning eighty thousand euros with the contract, he did everything he could to apply for public use for the orphanage and donated two million euros, was that the truth? Mica felt she could not get more from him and asked. -You don''t want me to be a model, do you? Carlos turned his head and looked at her again. Actually, the scenario was very suitable for her. She didn''t need to look for the camera when she was on stage because the cameramen couldn''t help but focus on her. Eric had excellent vision because she was going to shine. Of course because of his selfishness, he expected Mica''s beauty to belong to him alone, however, he wanted Mica to be happy and to do what she liked. He respected her and wanted to give her everything she wanted. Then Carlos answered like this. -First I want to know your answer. Besides winning the eighty thousand euros, do you have another reason to stay on stage? Mica looked seriously at Carlos'' profile and answered slowly. -Because I also want to be on top to match you. They were her sincere words and her major starting point. When the red light of the traffic light came on, the car stopped. Carlos looked at Mica in a state of shock whose heart was racing, took her hand and kissed her on the lips lightly. -Silly, I said I don''t care about this. Chapter 120 : LetS Go On A Date. Chapter 120 : Let''S Go On A Date. Chapter 120 : Let''s go on a date. Mica was a little embarrassed but didn''t pull her hand away. -But I do care. I''m even more worried that your family will care if I''m really going to marry you. -Of course you have to marry me. Do you want to marry someone else? Carlos interrupted her sadly. In his mind he remembered Mario at the orphanage, who had a clear and firm look. If Mario wasn''t a spoiled child, Carlos would have a feeling of crisis! Mica blushed and continued saying. -I don''t want to be below you. Of course you have a higher ss, but I wish at least the difference wouldn''t be so big. Besides, it''s because of my cousin Adriana. I heard from my piano teacher that I loved ying the piano as a child and that was my dream, but after I returned to the Elvira Family, Adriana stole my piano and even told me that it was hers. She has stolen my dream! Now, I also want to let you experience that the dream is blown away by the theft. Carlos looked at the girl who made him touched. She was dignified and sympathetic, she was not going to admit defeat, and even her personality of responding to violence with violence made her glow so much that he could not look away from her even more! The green light came on and a horn sounded from behind, then Carlos started the car to drive following the traffic. Mica saw that he didn''t speak anymore and felt slightly uneasy. -Carlos, do you hate me like this? Am I too mean? -No, I like you like this, my wife. Of course you can''t be so weak as to be mistreated and swallow insults with submission! He wanted very much to ruin the Elvira Family for her and expel all those who had humiliated her since Tdia! Mica seemed to have seen his thoughts and said anxiously. -Carlos, I need to harness my own strength to get what I deserve! I promise I will tell you if I have problems or difficulties. Don''t do anything to help me in secret. At least let me know what you are doing for me. Carlos smiled, looked at Mica and said lightly. -Now you know everything, don''t you? Mica bit her lip and said. -There''s one more thing I don''t know. -What is it? Mica looked at Carlos'' perfect profile and asked. -Near my house where I''m living now, where are the neighbors from before and the settlers from upstairs? How did you get them to move out? Carlos turned his head and looked at Mica. He liked the way she looked at him without distractions. -The wholemunity there is in my name now. For your safety and thefort in which you can live undisturbed, there are no other residents on the floor where you live, nor upstairs. When you moved in, I arranged for them to move out. Mica was quite surprised. How exaggerated was her behavior! Was the wholemunity hers? Did she buy it for herself? So, was he really the owner? It turned out they had moved in early. It was no wonder he had never met a neighbor after moving in or heard a sound from upstairs! This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. How thoughtful Carlos was! Carlos said seriously. -Mica, do what you want. I won''t stop you if you''re happy. As for the contract, I''ll find time to go with you. Mica recovered from the surprise, nodded with gratitude, and for Carlos''pany, she felt a confidence. -You... -Baby, don''t say thank you. Carlos took the initiative to speak. -I''ll let you say something more like what I love to hear. Mica blinked her eyes and blushed slightly. He was so kind to her, and this woman was incapable of making any rewards, but if he wouldn''t let her show appreciation, she couldn''t say other nauseating words either, so she only spoke after much thought. -Carlos, you look very handsome today. Carlos was in a good mood. He naturally had a lot of confidence in his appearance because he had always heard thepliments around him since he was a child. However, when the others said a thousand words, they didn''t sound as pleasant as Mica''s words. Seeing her flushed face, Carlos couldn''t help but joke with her. -Really? Only today? -Every day! -How handsome am I? Mica bit her lip, blushing to the point of burning. It was the first time she seriously admired a man, so she didn''t know how to express it. -Well. you''re so handsome that people and gods are outraged, so handsome that from children to elders, they all like you! Look, Luna just said she wants to marry you when she gets older. -But, baby, I just want you to like me. Carlos spoke seriously and innocently but the smile on his mouth revealed how good and happy he was in the instant. Mica was speechless with a red face, she tried to open her mouth several times but didn''t know what she should say, so she shook her head and ndered in her heart. "How wicked Carlos is!" Admiring the streetscape, he noticed that it was not the way back to Barrio Fann, then he asked. -Where are we going? Thinking that Diego had just said that Tomas would arrive soon, he continued the question. -Are you going back to thepany? "How busy he is! He has no time to rest." -A date. Carlos nced at Mica, observed her surprised face and added smiling. -Let''s go on a date. He paused and didn''t meet her reaction, then frowned. -Do you have another n? Mica answered unconsciously. -No, I just want to go home to clean the floor. Carlosughed. Was the worker bee going to organize her rare free time like this? -Or go shopping? Or go to the movies? Carlos had never been on a date with someone before and what he said was the content of dates he heard from his ssmates when he was studying. Listening to a series of questions from Carlos, Mica had a real sense that she was going on a date with Carlos as boyfriend and girlfriend. She couldn''t contain the sweetness that welled up in her heart. Mica covered her cheeks, still couldn''t help but giggle happily and said aloud. -Let''s do everything you say! She felt for the first time that words like having a date could please people so much! And what made her cheerful was not the question of going on a date but that it was Carlos who was going to do it with her! Carlos saw that she was very cheerful and also had a happy feeling with a loving face. -Okay, let''s do everything. Mica saw that Carlos was wearing a suit, although his attire was particrly expensive, it looked like he was going on a business trip or a meeting, not on a date! Mica bit her lip and said. -Go shopping for clothes first. -Okay. Carlos drove the car to the parking lot at the entrance of the mall and led Mica into the center by taking her hand. Mica looked around the ce. It was her first time toe there. How luxurious the decorations were! The mall was dedicated to selling men''s and women''s clothing of world brands with a very high price, and it was a ce where people from the upper ss came to visit. Carlos, who wore a suit and leather shoes, had an exceptional temperament. His clothes were so formal that it was not as if he was here to stroll the streets, but like a bossing to do inspection, so several store employees unconsciously tidied his store when they saw him, and some even stopped to look directly at him. Chapter 121 : Beaten, Long Time No See. Chapter 121 : Beaten, Long Time No See. Chapter 121 : Beaten, long time no see. Mica was wearing a light gray long skirt and a pink knitted sweater with medium sleeves, which made her elegant and cute. When the two of them showed up at the mall over the weekend, the return rate was extremely high. Carlos took Mica''s hand naturally and they entered a women''s clothing store, but was stopped by Mica. Carlos did not understand her behavior and was then pushed into the next men''s clothing store. This was a casual style store, very elegant, with simple and tasteful clothing design. The sales clerks in uniform widened their eyes when they saw them enter. How wonderful was the beauty of them! They felt as if the lights were brighter after they came in! It turned out that it was such a thing to light up the room! Mica looked carefully at the simply styled casual clothes, imagining how Carlos looked in the clothes, then stopped in front of a shirt in front of the window and believed that Carlos would look great in it. The sales clerk came over instantly, took off the shirt and said with a silver tongue. -Miss, what a good view you have! This is the novelty brought from Paris yesterday afternoon. The material is 300S ultra high density. It isfortable and soft to the touch. It is the best material for shirts! Mica nodded, then picked out a pair of matching pants, checked the size and handed them to Carlos. -Try them on! Carlos arched his eyebrows - she was going to dress him? Sheughed and walked into the fitting room. Mica went around the store to look at another outfit. Several customers came in and the two salesgirls went to greet them first. One garment was probably not hanging securely and suddenly fell off the hanger, so Mica bent down to pick it up. She picked up the hanger and put the clothes back on it. -You''re Mica, aren''t you? A male voice sounded with a hint of surprise. Mica looked back and noticed that the man looked very familiar, knowing he was her college ssmate, but she didn''t remember his name. The man was wearing a white polo shirt with apel and blue skinny jeans, wearing a pair of rimless sses, who seemed kind and well-mannered, and he observed Mica with an incredible look on his face. Mica appeared to be more beautiful than when she was in college. In her arms she held a curly-haired woman in a fashionable dress. The woman was udia Gaos, who Mica knew, and she gave Mica teasing looks at school, but Mica was busy working after ss, ignoring her. Seeing Mica taking the hanger and clothes in hands, udia directly thought that Mica was working there because Mica had been working part-time for four years at the university even though it was pouring down. udia felt pleased in her heart when she saw that Mica did not look well, she grabbed her boyfriend''s arm tightly and said in a contemptuous tone. -Why are you still working your tails off? After graduation, you should move to a more serious job. udia''s words showed a very obvious hostility and she pulled her boyfriend Joel Campos, who was looking at Mica without moving. Everyone knew that she hated Mica at the university because she liked Joel but he was in love with Mica. Finally Joel recovered his thoughts, pushed his sses and used his girlfriend first. -udia, don''t talk like that. Then he nced towards Mica with a kind smile. -Mica, long time no see. I don''t expect to meet you here. Mica greeted him politely with augh. Although she didn''t remember his name, at least he didn''t humiliate her. Joel was stunned by her smile. When he was in college, he had a hard time pleasing Mica, but she paid him no mind. Possibly to this day, Mica still didn''t remember his name. Joelughed self-deprecatingly because the way Mica looked at him was so strange and this was the best evidence. Mica looked at udia and said calmly. -No job is noble or humble, but there is a difference in qualifications. Overdue, long time no see. At the word vencida, udia''s facial expression turned horrible. She hated Mica not only because Joel liked Mica, but also because in all the exams, Mica always ranked first and she was in second ce for all four years. How could he hold his anger? It was strange to find Mica alone there. Thinking about the news that Macos and a popr model were going to get engaged, she couldn''t help teasing. -What''s the point of getting good grades in school? You''re finally not abandoned by Mr. Franco? You''re fit for the job of hanging clothes! The sales clerk came over, received the clothes and the hanger in Mica''s hands and spoke to udia in an unkind tone. -Excuse me, but thisdy doesn''t work here, she''s a very important customer in our store! The sales clerks had heard what the curly-haired woman had just said. What did it mean to switch to a serious job? What was wrong with selling clothes? That was Givenchy''s store! When they performed well, their wages were no less than those of office workers. Since those who came there to buy clothes are rich or powerful people, they could not offend them. Besides, they heard the elegantdy said that no job was noble or humble, otherwise, they should have a quarrel with the curly-haired woman. -A very important customer? After being dumped by Macos, which nouveau riche have you seduced? Which old man is it? Let us see! After listening to him, Joel looked around the store. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. He did not praise himself but his family''s status in Tdia was not inferior to Macos, but at that time, Mica did not select him but was with Macos. At that time, his sense of superiority emerged. "You didn''t select me in the past and now you can only support the rich man, can''t you, which old man is it?" Micaughed coldly. -I haven''t seen you for a long time, but your thoughts are still so narrow! udia was so angry that she was about to speak when the fitting room door opened and Carlos came out. Mica looked at him and lost her mind for a moment, how cute he was! The overall style of the clothes was still based on the ck, white and gray he always wore. The British-style two-button business casual shirt that was tight fitting and the British-style casual pants for men fully showed off his broad shoulders, slim buttocks and long legs. The most important thing was that the dull and solemn temperament became bright and light in an instant, which made him younger. With the beautiful face like a work of art, really Carlos was super handsome. The sales clerks endured his exmation and he said. -Sir, you look very proper and beautiful in this outfit! -Yes, too handsome! It was full of admiration the gaze of the two sales clerks, due to his inherent noble temperament and away to strangers, which made them not dare to get too close to Carlos, a few steps away, and his heart was pounding like the deer was running. He was the perfect male! Chapter 122 : Only You Are Pure And Sublime! Chapter 122 : Only You Are Pure And Sublime! Chapter 122 : Only you are pure and sublime! udia was also speechless looking at Carlos. She could tell that Joel was handsome among men, but Then she was surprised to find that the extraordinary man like a god walked straight towards Mica. Carlos stopped in front of Mica, took a deep look at her and asked. -Do they fit? Mica nodded and then looked away immediately. She didn''t expect to be stunned by the beauty, but at the thought that Carlos, such a perfect person, was her boyfriend, she felt like she was dreaming. Carlos approached her, as if he knew what she was thinking, and whispered in her ear in a low, husky voice. -Are you happy with the way your boyfriend looks? Mica blushed without answering and hurried him to change clothes, but Carlos told her directly. -It''s not necessary. I''m wearing this. Joel thought to himself and did not expect Mica to find the other man after losing Macos. However, he knew most of the rich and powerful lords in all of Tdia, so he should not be afraid of this unknown man he had never seen in social situations. Seeing his intimate interaction with Mica, udia was so angry that she clenched her fists. Macos left but another man came who was a hundred times much better than him! Maybe he wasn''t her boyfriend. Being a high quality male, why did he like Mica? Thinking so, udia took Joel''s arm and put the most attractive smile on her face. Looking at the face that made her heart beat faster, she suddenly pretended to be familiar with Mica and said. -Mica, who is this? We are partners, introduce us to him, please! Carlos passed a nce to udia. She could clearly hear their conversation in the fitting room, that Mica was abandoned by Macos. Carlos narrowed his eyes without saying anything. Then he looked carefully at Joel. Not to mention that this person was familiar, his gaze towards Mica was not as simple as that of a ssmate. Realizing this, Carlos hugged Mica''s waist with his hand and held her a little in his arms. Mica noticed that udia was winking at Carlos secretly, and instantly felt that her people were being coveted by another woman, then she raised her head and puffed out her chest unconsciously whose drooping hand also wrapped around Carlos'' waist, and said with a smile. -He''s my boyfriend, he''s who you say as the nouveau riche, the old man. udia didn''t expect Mica to say it so directly, so she couldn''t help but exin embarrassedly. -It''s a joke, a nonsense. Don''t misunderstand me. Seeing that Mica was unting the groom at them, Carlos burst outughing at her deration of the sovereignty of love. The light smile made udia even more touched and jealous of Mica. Mica smiled slightly and said casually. -Wow, I misunderstood. But look, with your expression now, it looks like you''re eating something in the bowl and looking at another one in the pot. I see you as being very interested in my boyfriend, I don''t know if I''ve misunderstood again or not. udia hastily withdrew her gaze and nced back at her boyfriend unconsciously. Indeed, Joel was upset, and naturally he also met his girlfriend''s very animated look but he didn''t look at her at all. -Joel, don''t listen to Mica''s nonsense. I''m not interested in any other man but you, you''re the most attractive man in all of Tdia! udia''s exnation made Joel''s face look better. Hearing such obvious ttery, Mica rubbed her arms and got goose bumps. Carlos looked at Joel again and asked tentatively. -Are you from Los Campos? Joel was surprised because the man recognized him. He immediately smiled proudly and puffed out his chest. In Tdia, he was a person of status and was even recognized as he strolled the streets. udia held her boyfriend''s hand tighter, as if she were Mrs. Campos, gave Mica a nk look and said proudly. -Yes, Joel is the eldest son of the Los Campos, the future sessor of the Campos Group. Now the Los Campos is not an ordinary rich family. Joel''s father has cooperation with the Aguayo Group, which is the head of the three old and well-known families. In the future, maybe, no, it will definitely be the fourth mandarin family in Tdia. Carlos smiled slightly and looked at Mica while she also raised her head to look at him with a question in a low voice. -Is he the son of Mr. Campos at thest party? Carlos nodded with a smile. Mica was very smart and had already remembered. Joel was even prouder, at that moment his vanity was about to burst and he felt that Mica should be sorry she hadn''t selected him back then. He had just thought it was lucky that he met Mica there and he could abandon udia and immediately pursue Mica, but she had a boyfriend. So he was also going to let the bad angere out because she ignored him for four years in college. -Mica, I was deeply in love with you at the time, but why did you choose the other one? Otherwise, it will be you next to me. udia clenched her fists to control herself without speaking. Joel was very proud at that time and she managed with a lot of efforts to get Joel hooked, so she had to avoid not achieving sess in the absence of a final effort. She absolutely could not let him lose face. Was he deeply in love with Mica? Carlos frowned slightly. Mica thought she was disdainful of being at Joel''s side and asked. -Really? How does this benefit me? Joel said proudly: -Naturally I''ll take care of you. I will buy you lots of new clothes, take you to taste the tasty food and take you to travel all over the world, so you can enjoy life with ease. Carlos looked at him and imagined what he told. His heart clenched and a strong feeling of jealousy spread. What he said casually made Carlos feel ufortable. udia was a little angry that her boyfriend never promised her this. Mica smiled slightly, waved to the sales clerk, took out her wallet, opened it and saw that the ck card she returned to Carlosst time was still in her wallet. When did she put it in? Mica looked at Carlos with surprise, still took out her own card and handed it to him. -The bill, please. We pay for what my boyfriend is wearing. -Well, wait, please. The sales clerk received the card with a surprised look on her face. How domineering the beauty was! Mica looked at the two of them. -It''s a pity that I don''t need others to take care of me. Not only do I have the ability to provide for myself, but I need to take care of him as well. Then Mica gave Carlos a look and he looked at her affectionately with a smile in his eyes. Joel was again surprised by Mica and secretly looked at the woman who took his arm. Since she had been with him, she had asked him for all sorts of things and wanted all the best in food, clothes and other necessities. udia blushed slightly, although Mica didn''t say it by name, the implication made her very This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ufortable. Was he saying that udia couldn''t support herself? She had already gotten a man as rich as Joel and didn''t have to work hard. "Only you are pure and sublime!" Chapter 123 : I Wear It For You, You Have To Pick It Out For Me. Chapter 123 : I Wear It For You, You Have To Pick It Out For Me. Chapter 123 : I wear it for you, you have to pick it out for me. Thinking about it, udia got angrier. -Hey, handsome, don''t be fooled by Mica. I''ve been her ssmate for four years. She doesn''t have a good reputation, that''s why Marcos dumped her," wanting to unveil Mica''s story, udia shouted directly at Carlos. Carlos answered her with a cold look, as if it were a sharp sword, which sent a shiver down her spine and shut her up. Such a foolish woman... Then, Carlos looked at Mica lovingly. -It doesn''t matter. She alone wants to keep me," he murmured. "I would keep you too!" But udia held back what she thought. For all her attractive looks and revealed nobility, she would give up Joel to get him, if Carlos didn''t want Mica. This aura of mour definitely could not emanate from a man who needed a woman to feed him! Even the sales clerks didn''t believe that this macho man was such a hunk. -So, then, take him to the graduation dinner so we can meet him! -Feeling the superiority, Joel said to Mica with contempt. -Sure, I''ll take him! -Mica answered him without hesitation. She wouldn''t go anyway. What was said was just an excuse. "Graduation dinner?" Carlos kept it in his heart and smiled looking at Mica. He thought she was lovely too when she was indomitable. -Joel, here the clothes don''t suit you, they don''t reflect your temperament. Let''s go to the other one! -As she couldn''t take advantage of anything here, udia gave a pretext to leave. -Mica, see you at the graduation ceremony. -Wait -Carlos stopped them when the two were about to leave-. He is not the only son in the Campos family and it is not known who will inherit Grupo Campos, let alone if there will be the fourth big family in Tdia. I see my Mica''s criticism very clearly, it is not necessary for me to determine how it is. Hearing everything, Joel and udia were speechless because everything she said was true. They just had to leave discouraged. Mica looked at Carlos with much adoration as her heart beat very fast. "My Mica''s criticism I see it very clearly, it is not necessary for you to determine how it is..." -Chiquita, am I belonged, isn''t it belonged of you? -Carlos lowered his head and looked at her smiling. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Reddened, Mica lowered her arms and entered the fitting room to pick up the clothes he had tried on. The sales clerk immediately pulled out a bag in which Mica put Carlos'' clothes with her own hands, when Carlos was watching everything because he didn''t like other people to have contact with his own items. "This little girl is careful." To bid them farewell, the saleswomen followed them with their eyes out the door until they were out of sight. -Did you notice that the prettydy who just left looks very much like thest guest on the White Heron catwalk yesterday? -One of them suddenly eximed as she patted her head. -Yes, indeed! -Finally, some of them reacted. *** Wearing a casual dress, Carlos'' serious temperament was no longer so noticeable. Walking in the crowds at the mall, the two looked like a couple in love on a weekend outing. They were no longer so conspicuous. Wearing changed clothes and taking Mica by the hand, Carlos wanted to lead her to the women''s clothing stores. But Mica kept dragging him forward, saying she didn''t like the style of those stores. -Did that man chase you before? -Carlos asked her thoughtlessly. -Yes? I don''t know," observing the surrounding stores, Mica answered. -In fact, if udia hadn''t called him, I wouldn''t remember his name until now," then she looked at Carlos and added with a serious attitude. Carlosughed inwardly. "Poor thing!" Finally, Mica found the store she was looking for and went inside with Carlos. Examining the surroundings, Carlos raised his eyebrows. A men''s underwear store? -You, pick out the pajamas. And also... -Blushing and with her head lowered, Mica whispered to him. But she could say no more. "This little girl is thoughtful!" -In fact, I sleep naked -Carlos felt happy and told her in her ear. Since she was next to him, he slept in his pajamas. -It can''t be like that. You have to sleep in pajamas. Choose one," shaking her head, Mica said. Thinking of the touch when she woke up in his arms this morning, Mica felt embarrassed. -Of course you have to help me pick it out for you," Carlos'' words were so sexual that Mica looked at him with her heart beating fast. And he looked at her with a mischievous smile without wanting to select pajamas. But Mica didn''t realize that meant eptance of sleeping with him.... Mica bit her lip and went to look at the pajamas. She picked out two amodating ones and handed them to the sales clerk. After paying, they left the store. Carlos thought he could finally buy clothes for her. But Mica dragged him towards the door of the mall. -We''re done shopping for clothes. Let''s go somewhere else! -But we still have to buy clothes for you, don''t we? -Carlos looked at her. -We don''t need to. You bought me too many clothes and the closet is already full. I don''t know how long I''ll be able to wear them all, or even buy clothes! But, ording to the inte, wasn''t it true that women alwayscked clothes? How strange that Mica was upset because she had too many clothes! Carlos took out the cell phone and drove it before heading towards the parking lot with Mica. After watching the weather, he took Mica to TOBEWITHYOU, the best western food restaurant in Tdia. Sitting at the window they, soon the waiter served them with water served in delicate sses and also the menu. Thinking that it was enough that Carlos ordered the food, Mica did not look at the menu but took out her cell phone. She had heard the message, but had not yet seen it until now. And what she had seen cost her an arm and a leg! Carlos''s clothes were so expensive! It was already equivalent to a few months of Mica''s sry! Mica was worried. Thank goodness there was still 30, 000 euros on the card from yesterday''s catwalk. Otherwise, she would have been too embarrassed! But at the thought of the closet full of clothes at home, she considered it all as in exchange. Then something urred to him. He rushed to turn on the mobile banking and transferred the 1. 8000 euros for Ivanna''s shoes yesterday to Carlos''s ck card. Chapter 124 : Yes, This Is Gael Mariano. Chapter 124 : Yes, This Is Gael Mariano. Chapter 124 : Yes, this is Gael Mariano. Carlos nced at Mica''s switched-on cell phone and understood that she would pay him back sooner orter. He rubbed his brow. It seemed hard for Mica to spend Carlos''s money! Deciding what he wanted to eat, Carlos handed the menu to Mica. She casually flipped through it, in which all the food looked very delicious, but also expensive! She tried to calm herself not to count the price of the dishes.... "All the dishes are so expensive! And this dinner is going to be worth some recent clothes!" -Well, I order the same as him, thank you -Mica made up her mind, closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter. Smiling, the waiter withdrew. -You transferred all the money to me, does that mean I''m the owner of the house? -Carlosughed and looked at her seriously. Owner of the house? Mica blushed. She knew that what he said indicated that there was no need to worry about the money with him.... Mica also looked at him with a serious look. "He''s right, what''s the use of worrying about money?" He had already given her so much, which was much more than this money. He couldn''t give it all back to her. Actually, Mica was also happy paying for him. Seeing that he was dressed in the clothes she had bought him, she was d. On the other hand, didn''t he feel the same way? Suddenly, she understood Carlos'' happiness when he bought so many clothes for her? For a moment she let herself be convinced. Determined, a charming smile appeared on her face. It didn''t take long to serve them the food they had ordered. In addition to two steaks, many snacks were piled up, which looked very rich and tasty. Mica looked at them and found that everything was what she liked, so she was moved. Really, she was already hungry. She started eating straight away. Although it was not the first time she had steak, she did so rarely, where it was always Alba who asked her to have it. Having been abroad for a year, it had already been a year since she had touched the cutlery. As she was not used to using it now, she handled it slowly and was embarrassed... -Eat this -Carlos gave her his divided steak and took hers to divide it. The beef sectioned by him was well proportioned, as if it were art. -Thank you..." Mica blushed a little. The two of them were quietly enjoying their meal, not realizing that the surrounding people were looking at them with envy.... The scene of them together was so beautiful, harmonious and pleasant as if it was andscape they would never get tired of contemting, so some of them even took their cell phones to secretly take pictures of them.... Carlos was looking at Mica attentively with much tenderness. -Carlos Aguayo, eat and don''t look at me! -Detecting his burning gaze, Mica turned her head slightly. -Carlos kept looking at her and said softly. Abruptly Mica blushed. "That man speaks without thinking where we are..." Precisely a man in a suit passed by them. Suddenly he stopped and looked at them with an incredible look. It seemed that he had heard Carlos. When he saw that it was indeed Carlos, he was very surprised. Carlos looked at him and frowned slightly. "Why are there so many unexpected guests on my date?" -Go away, we''re having dinner. You''ve disturbed us. -Are you pretending you don''t know me? Never mind, this pretty one knows me. That will be enough," the man said provocatively and unperturbedly. -Miss prettydy, do you remember me? -ignoring Carlos'' annoyed look, he changed his attitude and said towards Mica with a smile. With the blush on her face, observing the two, Mica understood that they obviously knew each other and should have a non superficial contact. She examined this man carefully and it seemed she had seen him before.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -When I was at Moontime with Alba, it was you who helped me out. You are the editor-in-chief of Excellent Taste, Mr. Mariano? -It suddenly urred to him. -Yes, I''m Gael Mariano," Gael snapped his fingers. He sat down next to Carlos and purposely pushed him inward, so Carlos had to move to the window. Not having expected to run into him again, Mica was little surprised. -Thank you for helping me that night," she thanked him again with kindness. -Carlos didn''t mention it to you? -Gael asked excitedly. -What do you mean? -First of all, it was Carlos who had asked me to help you that night. That''s why I can''t take credit for it. It is Carlos to whom you must thank -Gael fixed his eyes on Carlos without understanding him and ordered what he wanted to say in a while-. Therefore, I gave you my card that day in order to invite you for the cover of Excellent Taste, but you don''t contact me. So I spoke to Carlos privately to persuade you. Hasn''t he said a word to you? As soon as he finished his words, Gael stared at Carlos. -Well... Mica was startled. I thought that what happened that night was just a coincidence. Andter Carlos came to that bar to take her along. She was surprised that he had sent Gael to help her. -He told me everything. But I''m not really interested in the cover, sorry," Mica said instantly and looked at Carlos with much gratitude. Carlos smiled and looked at her with admiration. "This chiquita is smart." -So, it means that now you could be on my cover -Gael was not disappointed but said affirmatively. Carlos frowned and looked toward the street outside. It was already very clear to him what Gael said. -What''s your name, thest guest at Garza nca yesterday? -Gael asked Mica with augh. She was taken aback and looked at Carlos. Carlos also looked at her with constion. -You always have good eyesight," Carlos said lightly to Gael. That''s why I deserve the position of editor-in-chief," Gael answered without modesty. -Hi, my name is Mica," seeing that Carlos also agreed, Mica nodded her head in response. -Mica. A name that expresses itself through the ideal, the cool and the casual. How addictive it is... - Gael stood with a strange look on his face. Mica blinked and saw Carlos. An editor-in-chief has a very good imagination. But Carlos thought the addiction she mentioned was true and fixed his eyes on her. -Go to the cover, I''m sure you can be on stage since it suits you too. Either way, Eric will hire you, what has been published in the inner circle. They''ll surely employ you. So why don''t you try being on the cover of Excellent Taste to make yourself more popr? Chapter 125 : The Wicked Witch Is Coming Again! Chapter 125 : The Wicked Witch Is Coming Again! Chapter 125 : The wicked witch ising again! Mica looked at Carlos for help, so Gael was astonished to find the two of them always looking at each other. -Fuck! Machismo? Carlos, what century are we in? Where does your machismoe from? What? Machismo? All you could hear were "calzonazos"? Mica was embarrassed to hear it. Carlos gave her a sidelong nce without paying her any attention and looked at Mica. -Do it. Since he had made up his mind, Gael was right. With a certain poprity it was easier to be in the circle. Mica felt a little confused, but still believed in Carlos and nodded her head. *** While they were talking about the magazine photograph, amotion happened at the orphanage. It was lunchtime, when some caregivers and the director were teaching the children how to eat at the table, suddenly Adriana came in and threw an unpleasant nce at the in food on the table. -Mom Headmistress, the wicked witch ising again! -Mario pointed to the door and suddenly shouted. -Why have youe, Miss Elvira? -The headmistress stood up hastily and looked a little lost. -Old woman, I have given you thend for nothing. Behave yourselfter! Bring me the bowl and the chopsticks! -Adriana fixed her eyes on Mario and approached the table. Even though it seemed iprehensible to the director, she did as she said. As she was going to the sideboard to take tableware, she saw a crowd enter the courtyard carrying cameras and many types of equipment. -Miss Elvira, are you going to have lunch here? Well, I''m going to cook something else... -After bringing her the bowl and chopsticks, the director asked next to her. -Adriana looked at the surrounding children, who were seated at two tables altogether, and said, "Listen, children! If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will not allow him to live here and I will throw him out of the orphanage. Do you understand? Although the children were afraid of her, when they saw her cruelty, they were sad. -I love Mica... -And that handsome one... -The witch is very terrible.... Adriana got very angry and took a few deep breaths. She saw the time and adjusted herself because people would be arriving very soon. -Darlings, if you behave well and don''t talk at random, I''ll give you 10 lollipops each, ok? -Adriana said, All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. smiling very cordially, "I''ll give you ten lollipops each. Ten lollipops? Since sweets were not good for your health, the Mother Director usually only gave one to each of you. Therefore, ten lollipops were a great attraction for them. And suddenly, all the children fell silent. Only Mario looked disdainfully at the people in the courtyard. The headmistress didn''t understand what had happened to make them so quiet. She saw Adriana sit down and put some rice in the bowl she had given him. She signaled outside and some people came in with cameras. -Eat! -Adriana looked at the director angrily. -Ah, yes..." The director sat down immediately. They recorded the general environment and then them. And then, a girl came in with a microphone.... Gael called the waiter and ordered a steak without any self-consciousness. He had lunch with them and set the date for the photograph and rted matters. Looking at Carlos with a cold face, he realized he had annoyed them, but he was d! This opportunity to tease Carlos was hard to find - of course he had to y it on him! And he loved it by intervening between them! Gael didn''t stop telling Mica about the issues of the circle of models and stars. As precisely Mica was worried about this terrain she was about to enter and felt a bit nervous, she listened to him attentively. Carlos took out his cell phone, opened Whatsapp and sent a message to Diego. After a while, Gael''s cell phone rang. Gael, who answered the call, looked at Carlos with indignation. This guy had definitely used some trick secretly! -Mica, I have to go back because something urgent has happened at thepany.... Here''s my card. If you have any doubts, call me any time. Mica took it. And the one he had given her at the bar was already lost a long time ago. -It''s all right, Mr. Mariano. Before leaving, Gael nced triumphantly at Carlos, but found a two-way smile from Carlos. What happened? It was only recently that Carlos became imcable. From the friendship of so many years, Gael understood that Carlos'' smile was absolutely not simply because he had to leave immediately. Suddenly, he regretted having been here so long. He had been looking for three feet to the cat.... Gael walked out of the restaurant dreading it. "I wish I had thought too much." However, he didn''t think too much. Gambling on Carlos indicated an expensive cost, which Gael realized many dayster.... Once Gael left, Carlos took the card from Mica, which he put on the table after looking at it. -Do you want to eat something else? -We''re leaving," Mica shook her head. Carlos took Mica''s hand and they left together. And so, the card was forgotten on the table by Carlos'' intention. Mica looked at it, which was hanging from his hand. "Next, we should go to the movies, right?" Exactly, it would be the cinema. But she hadn''t expected it would all turn out so luxurious! In front of them, it was a box and the atmosphere was fine. The screen was only a little less than that of the cinema. Two sofas had been put together. There was also a refrigerator and wine racks. The decoration was very rumbustious.... Carlos went ahead and told Mica to sit on one of the sofas, while he adjusted the couch to make her Then, he sat down next to her. He adjusted the couch so that the two of them could see each other. Mica felt a little nervous. If there were no arms separating the sofas, the two of them would look like they were lying in a bed.... -What do you want to see? -Carlos handed the control iPad to Mica. -Titanic! -Mica didn''t take it, but said very excited. It always seemed a pity to her that she had not seen this movie, because when she was a student, she was busy with study and work, which prevented her from watching it. From time to time Alba would convince her to watch popr movies with her. And since Alba had seen Titanic, she didn''t want to mention it to him. But for the moment, she wanted to make up for this pity. Suddenly the thought came to her that if Carlos had also seen it. There was no point in repeating a movie. Besides, men probably didn''t like to watch this kind of movies. -Well... Have you seen it? Or shall we see another one? Carlos raised his eyebrows. -Okay, Titanic. I haven''t seen it either! -He said seriously, thinking about the sexual parts of the movie and how embarrassed Mica would be when she saw them. Chapter 126 : I CouldnT Hold Her Anymore. Chapter 126 : I Couldn''T Hold Her Anymore. Chapter 126 : I couldn''t hold her anymore. Mica nodded her head with great joy. Very soon the movie started and Mica watched it very attentively. It was of English version, which Mica watched much more attentively because she wanted to review English. Therefore, she did not notice that Carlos only fixed his eyes on her instead of the screen. Holding his chin on the arm of the sofa, he was watching how Mica looked nervous with a clenched fist and sometimes smiled slightly.... Her eyes were sparkling and she was very attractive.... He would feel very happy if he could look at her like that in his whole life.... Carlos did not notice that he now showed satiety on his face, as if he had obtained the most valuable thing in the world. So time went by when Mica was concentrating on the movie, which Carlos was watching, until Mica suddenly blushed.... Well... Mica stopped looking at her. Shouldn''t this part of the movie be banned? The sound emitted from the movie made Mica feel more uneasy. So, she looked at Carlos without knowing what to do, but she found that Carlos was looking at her with a smile... -Well, Carlos... Carlos got up, approached her and kissed her.... She felt that he was approaching her and she was a little astonished. She saw that Carlos closed his eyes and slurped her with his fresh lips.... Mica''s heart was beating very fast. She closed her eyes and felt Carlos'' breathing and his kisses.... Lying on the sofa bewildered, she hugged his neck unconsciously and kissed him too.... Mica''s reaction made Carlos kiss her harder and want to upy all of her... Mica answered him softly without any inobedience, which contributed to Carlos behaving wilder... -Well... Carlos... Mica''s call reminded him that they couldn''t do that here! Abruptly Carlos lifted his head from Mica''s neck. He withdrew his hands reluctantly. And his mind was still full of Mica''s delicate touch.... He looked at her. It seemed that she had not yet recovered and her eyes looked very attractive.... Carlos sat back down in his ce. He took a deep breath, but still couldn''t contain the desire in his heart! He got up and headed for the bathroom. Mica would deserve the best affection, instead of in this cinema! Mica pulled herself together. The first thing she saw was the screen, where that sexual argument had happened a long time ago. Realizing what had happened, she straightened up, tidied the slightly disheveled clothes and blushed. In the bathroom, Carlos washed his face with cold water, which gradually calmed him down. Looking a little disheveled in the mirror, Mica''s soft recent voice came to his mind.... Carlos sshed water on his face again, which wet his hair on his forehead. Mica was so attractive that he thought he was already at the limit of endurance.... Coming out of the bathroom, Carlos felt very worried because Mica was crying so sad. Did she not want to do it? Or was he too anxious, that he had scared her? He already knew that although she didn''t reject him, she really was conservative. He had bought her a lot of clothes, but he had never seen her wearing sleeveless clothes or short skirts. Surely she didn''t agree with premarital sex? Carlos approached her discouragingly. No doubt he liked her better for this esteem of marriage, but that also meant he couldn''t be satisfied in some sense. And the worst thing was that Brinte would hire her. He would need to wait a long time before marrying her.... Charles sat down beside her to embrace her, but was rebuffed.... He frowned, that meant he could no longer embrace her.... -Huy... How touching! Will Jack die or not, since the sea is so cold...? Mica was talking to herself and crying a lot. But she still fixed her eyes on the screen so as not to miss any argument. Carlos felt ashamed and saw that in the movie, the ship had sunk. The protagonist was on a driftwood, from which the protagonist was saying goodbye in the water.... She was crying for the movie instead of him. Carlos was relieved and embarrassed. He took a napkin to dry Mica''s tears. -Silly, it''s just a movie," he told her softly. If she had known the movie would make her cry so much, she wouldn''t have agreed to watch it! -This happened in real life... Carlos, the main character has sunk.... -Looking at the screen, Mica answered him. As if she wanted to repress the painful feeling, Mica held Carlos'' hand on her chest, which dried her tears and bothered her to watch the movie. Concentrating on the screen, she did not notice the intimacy of their deed.... Carlos felt a little nervous and saw her hand and the ce where it was..... He took a deep breath and withdrew his hand. "Chiquita, you better not do it on purpose. No, you absolutely don''t do it on purpose..." He shook his head without noticing Mica blushing. She didn''t do it deliberately and realized too much when her hand was removed. Good thing he didn''t perceive it. It would be too embarrassing... As soon as the movie was over, a gray-haired woman was sitting, telling what would stop next. Mica was getting quiet. "My God, how embarrassing crying like that before him..." Carlos'' cell phone rang, which he nced at. He found that Diego was calling him and picked up the cell phone. But since Mica''s cell phone was also next to his on the table next to him, before answering the call, he saw that Mica''s cell phone was also ringing, which showed a name: Alba. Carlos gave it to Mica. When he saw that she was a little puffy-eyed, he felt sad and thought that he would never let her watch this kind of movies that made her cry. Mica didn''t miss Alba calling him because now it would be midnight where she was. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Did something urgent happen to this candle? Thinking about it, Mica hurried to answer the call. -Alba, what happened? -Mica, I really admire you and Carlos, you got Adriana to promise to give thend to the orphanage! Mica was a little surprised. I hadn''t told her about this yet, why did she already know? -How do you know? -How do I know? Now she''s the most popr on Facebook! Huy, I don''t understand, did you and Carlos ask her to give away thend to the orphanage so she cane in as whatever she wants? Chapter 127 : In A Higher Place, It Will Fall In A More Tragic Way. Chapter 127 : In A Higher ce, It Will Fall In A More Tragic Way. Chapter 127 : In a higher ce, it will fall in a more tragic way. To enter as what he wants? Mica was confused not understanding what Alba was referring to. -You haven''t watched Facebook or live videos, nor do you care about telenoticias, have you? -Alba asked her. -No, I haven''t seen those..... -For God''s sake! Right now I watch it anyway. All the major media outlets in Tdia are running it. Adriana is going to be very popr! I''ll call youter. Veil! Hurry! Alba hung up the call as she finished her words. Carlos also answered Diego, while he was watching Mica. Although he only heard a few words said by her, he was sure that what Alba told Mica, was the same as what Diego told her. After hanging up the cell phone, Carlos picked up the iPad directly on the table and, with a few clicks, the rey of a live tform appeared. Mica''s jaw dropped. On the screen, the director and Adriana were sitting with the children in the orphanage''s dining room. Talking softly to the children, Adriana was smiling very kindly. She was adding food to them, she was even eating with them too! -Beauty is reflected through the charitable soul. Adriana, the popr Brinte model, has perfectly interpreted this reason for us. Today is the weekend. And with lots of gifts, Adriana has gone to the orphanage to visit the children there and also had lunch with them," the melodious voice of the presenter was heard. While the presenter reported exaggeratedly, Mica only paid attention to the reaction of the director and the children. It seemed that they were only mildly surprised and had not been threatened, so Mica calmed down a little. The presenter had asked a question, but Mica didn''t hear her but looked at Adriana, who stood up to answer the questions with an angelic smile. -These orphan children are very poor. I have only helped them a little. There is no need to report that. -And could you tell us that today''s visit is your own or thepany''s attempt? -It''s a personal idea. But thepany also teaches us that we have to be charitable to help those in need. I am always grateful for the training thepany has given me. She was so ttering that she not only gave herself credit for it, but also ttered thepany. Suddenly, Santiago Tassis appeared on the screen, who hade to the orphanage today. He was The presenter and the cameras approached him. -You are Santiago Tassis who manages thend affairs, right? Why did youe here? What does the g in your hand mean? -Smiling, the presenter proposed some highlighted topics. Seeing that several cameras were in front of him, Santiago already understood that he was probably live and took a look at Adriana. This woman was anything but simple. It was no wonder that she had rushed him to send the g to the orphanage, because she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be popr! He was not only representing himself, but also Andana. Knowing full well that he could not harm Andana''s interests, nor would he allow them to discover that Carlos was handling this matter behind. -As the representative of Andana, I thank Miss Elvira, who has donated thisnd to the orphanage without asking for anything in return so that it will remain here forever. After finishing the words, he unfurled the red g, on which somerge golden characters were written vertically: As Adriana Elvira has donated thend without remuneration for the orphanage, she is praised for her merits with the letterhead of the Ministry of Lands of Andana. When the presenter wanted to ask her something else, Santiago handed the g to Adriana and left. A good silence is called a saint. It was the best way to protect himself. Left in an awkward situation, the cameramen and the presenter hurried to pay attention to Adriana. -Okay. Miss Elvira, as far as we know, this orphanagend belongs to Familia Elvira. It is heard that finally you decided to donate it to Andana at once, is it true? -Immediately, the presenter said in a skillful way. -That''s right. Donating thend to Andana, who is willing to convert all the private orphanages into public ones to improve education to the children here, is what I should do," Adriana nodded her head. The presenter ttered Adriana again, and Adriana smiled back. On screen, manyments were shown. -We love you very much, Adriana! -Apart from being pretty, Adriana is very kind! -Indeed Adriana is the most beautiful model in Tdia! -I know this orphanage. Actually a girl is funding it. And I''m surprised it''s Adriana! -That''s right. I live around here and I always saw a pretty girle in and out here. ... It seemed that there were also people who were interested in thements, so the presenter immediately asked Adriana. -They say they see a woman frequenting the orphanage, which she also finances. I would like to know if it is you who does it. -Yes, it is me. Every month I transfer money to the director so that the orphanage can be improved. I alsoe regrly to work here as a volunteer," Adriana answered without getting upset. Many morements appeared, which were praising Adriana. Carlos turned off the screen andughed coldly. "Adriana has paid them a lot, hasn''t she?" -What do you think? -Carlos stood up and asked Mica. -And you? -I don''t care. Let her be popr. In a higher ce, she''ll fall more tragically. She will understand the pain. But, the bad thing is that you have done good things, but she takes credit for everything," Carlos said softly and stood up, hanging on Mica''s hand. -I don''t care about the merits. They don''t have to move the orphanage now or in the future, which I am already very satisfied with. Anyway, Adriana has lost a lot, let her feel vain," Mica said shrewdly. Besides, like what you said, in a higher ce, she will fall more tragically. To fall, she must climb to the All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. top. If not, even if I won her I would not be happy! Carlos rubbed her head lightly with much admiration. -Do you want to see some more movies? -No, we''re leaving," Mica shook her head. Carlos nodded and left the box with her. In the car, Alba called her again. And Mica told her sincerely everything that had happened this morning. -Oh, I see. What a scoundrel Adriana is! She attributes all your merits to you. But it''s true that she would have to take revenge after costing you something. Mica agreed. -In the world there is no such thing as a hermetic wall. When they reveal the truth, it will break everything today. You and Carlos do not prevent it because you think so? Chapter 128 : Are We Officially Living Together? Chapter 128 : Are We Officially Living Together? Chapter 128 : Are we officially living together? Mica nodded softly. -If you''re ready to sign with Brinte, is she going to give up her dream of designing? -Alba asked. She knew Mica very well that what she loved most was jewelry design. Mica paused and looked at Carlos who was driving seriously. "I''m just a temporary model, so I can be worthy of him." -I won''t give up. Alba felt reassured by his answer because she didn''t want her best friend to lose it. -Okay, I believe you! After hanging up the phone, Mica looked at Carlos. Suddenly, something urred to her and she asked nervously: -Carlos, why hasn''t Mama Director called me? Could there be an ident? At that moment, Carlos'' phone rang and, after turning on the car''s Bluetooth, Diego''s voice came through: -Mr. Aguayo, everyone is fine from the orphanage. The reporters are gone and I just found Mama Director''s phone. Do I need to deal with Adriana''s live feed? Mica immediately looked at Carlos with gratitude. "Turns out she had thought earlier to ask Diego to confirm it in person at the orphanage." Carlos looked at Mica and replied. -No need. -Okay. By the way, Tomas is back. He''s waiting for you to get in touch with him. *** As soon as Tomas returned, he wanted to meet Carlos to discuss work matters, but Diego stopped him Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. and told him it was the finde. Tomas didn''t understand. -He hasn''t rested all year, how can he worry about weekends? -Because he has an appointment with Miss Noboa," Diego smiled and answered. -A date? Are you sure? -he was surprised. "How strange!" -Yes! -Also, since Mr. Aguayo doesn''t have much experience in dating, he specially exined to me to look for the best ce to buy clothes, eat, and watch movies. -Hahaha, you seem to be inexperienced," he red at Diego. -Hahaha, yes, we are all single. Tomas said nothing, obediently waiting for the right opportunity to contact Carlos. *** Carlos frowned. "How annoying!" -I''ve got it. Tell him to wait for me at thepany," hanging up the phone, he looked at Mica, "Do you want toe back ore with me to thepany? Mica was still thinking about mopping the floor and immediately replied that she wanted toe back. Although Carlos was a little disappointed, he followed her idea and then went back to thepany. She opened the door to the house, intending to wash Carlos'' newly purchased pajamas, and then clean the whole house.... She used to tidy up the home every week, but looking at the spotless floor in front of her, she was surprised. She looked around. The house had been cleaned, including the kitchen and the clothes that had not been washed in the morning.... -You don''t need to do housework. When she thought of Carlos'' words, she was impressed. "He''s always fixed everything without saying anything." "Is it a cleaner or Sofia who cleaned it?" "Yesterday, he told me that the room downstairs was the maid''s room." When Mica went downstairs and pushed the door of that room, which was still the same as before, it thrilled him even more. "She respected my thoughts." At this moment, she received a text message from Carlos: -Do you like the gift? Just as she was about to reply, the doorbell rang. Through the little mirror in the door, she saw three uniformed women carrying something in their hands. And then she opened the door. -Hello, are you Miss Noboa? -The woman in the lead greeted politely, handing her several bags of gifts, "These are the clothes Mr. Aguayo ordered from our store. -Clothes? Are they for me? A bit puzzled, Mica took them, then the other two also handed her the bags. -Yes, these are thetest limited edition Chanel models, from summer to fall, fifteen outfits in all. I hope you like them. Mica''s jaw dropped.... "Wouldn''t that be too much overkill?" -This is the phone number of our counter. Contact us if you have any problems. Bye! -they left after saying that. Mica closed the door and then put the clothes on the sofa to see one by one. They are good quality skirts and generous style. "Worthy of being a famous brand!" She took a picture and sent it to Carlos: -You are too exaggerated. Carlos replied almost in seconds. -Honey, you have to get used to it. "Get used to it? I mean, would I still buy clothes like this in the future?" -I already have too many clothes, don''t buy me any more! There was no answer from the other side, so Mica went upstairs with all the clothes and tried to organize them in the closet. When she opened it, she saw that apart from her clothes, she had men''s clothes, suits, shirts and pants, neatly organized.... She unconsciously opened the bottom drawer and sure enough, there were men''s underwear. Then she was sure that Sofia hade in. Red-faced, she pushed the drawer back and thought: "Are we officially living together?" When she looked at her phone again, he had answered: -Check it out for me. Chapter 129 : Tomas Really Likes To Do The Dishes. Chapter 129 : Tomas Really Likes To Do The Dishes. Chapter 129 : Tomas really likes to do the dishes. She gaped and blushed. "Do I need to put to show you?" "How long do I have to try on all these clothes?" But she didn''t want to disappoint him, so she started trying them on one by one. They looked great on her, with her slim waist and fair skin. She shyly took a picture of herself and sent it to Carlos. After that, there was no response for a long time. Thinking he was probably busy, she changed clothes, went to wash Carlos'' pajamas, and when she looked at him again, he answered a few words, which made Mica blush a lot: -Honey, I mean that from now on you wear a new set of clothes every day. Mica ground her teeth. "This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!" Then, she got a new message from him: -We had dinner together, and I''m responsible for washing up. At half past six in the evening, when the door opened, Mica finished preparing all the dishes at the table. -How good it smells! Mica turned unconsciously and saw that not only Carlos wasing in, but also Tomas, and that exaggerated shout came from Tomas. Tomas ran to the dining table. Sister-inw, I didn''t know you were such a good cook! -Thank you," Mica blushed slightly. As soon as Tomas learned that Carlos was not going back to Nyisrenda, he insisted on apanying him and threatened that if he did not take him, he would not go on the business trip. Since he wanted to stay home with Mica, and Tomas was the only one best suited to rece him on the business trip, he had to ept it. -I can''t wait to try it," Tomas said enthusiastically. Without continuing, Mica approached Carlos and unconsciously took the jacket in his hand. She acted like a well-behaved wife, so Carlos became cheerful and said to Tomas: -Eat quickly and leave when you finish. Carlos, you can''t do this to me! Sister-inw, you have to help me! Mica blushed, tried to ignore his name and answered in a low voice: -Wow, let''s go to dinner. Only then did the two of them sit down across from each other. Mica went to bring the silverware, handed it to him and then sat down next to Carlos. Carlos served the soup to Mica. Tomas handed her his bowl, but Carlos said in a cold voice: -Do it yourself! -You''re biased!" Tomas felt very aggrieved. -Do you have a problem with that? -Carlos looked at him suspiciously. Tomas dare not give his opinion, limiting himself to eating. When he tasted a slice of lotus root, he was instantly surprised! This was so delicious! It was a very appetizing meal. He no longer had any interest in fighting with Carlos and went about enjoying all the food. As he ate, he looked around and suddenly said, "You designed this yourself! -You designed this house yourself! I saw this design on your table before. Carlos ignored him and was giving tes to Mica, who was not eating much. Instead, she looked at Tomas with great surprise: -Really? -Of course! My brother is a design genius, and Nyisrenda is also designed by him," he looked proud. -That''s enough," Carlos nced at him and said. Tomas fell silent, but winked at Mica, as if to say: "Sister-inw, you''re so lucky to be with my brother!" Mica turned her head slightly, reddened her cheeks. She looked unconsciously at Carlos, and saw that he was also looking at himself. She hastily turned her head back.... "He knows how to read my jewelry designs and modifies them. And the house is designed by him. No wonder he said the room downstairs was the maid''s, it turns out he''s arranged it ording to his design." She was constantly shocked at his behavior! Finally, all the dishes were empty and Mica felt very proud. As she was about to clear the dishes, Carlos pulled you back. Mica looked at him, thinking he probably wanted to clean up. But she heard him order Tomas in a cold voice: -Ee to clean the dishes! Tomas was happily wiping his mouth, and when he heard this order, he couldn''t help but pause. -How can you let the guest do it? -Mica was a little anxious. -It''s okay. He really likes to do it," Carlos was still holding Mica''s hand to keep her from getting up. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -No... -Tomas didn''t finish his words, because from Carlos'' gaze, he could read: "If you don''t wash the dishes, don''t eat at my house." Yes! I love doing the dishes, don''t stop me, sister-inw! After saying this, she started cleaning the dishes. "How does she have that hobby?"-Mica felt amazing. Carlos grabbed Mica''s hand and headed for the couch. Tomas was washing up in the kitchen and, through the transparent ss, he saw Carlos reading an economic magazine, while Mica watered the flowers. "What a loving image!" Tomas felt an extraordinary envy, however..... Chapter 130 : Sister-In-Law Was Too Attractive Chapter 130 : Sister-In-Law Was Too Attractive Chapter 130 : Sister-inw was too attractive Tomas was convinced that his brother was different from him, and that he would fight for anything he wanted. Tomas washed the dishes in earnest. At that time he had a falling out with his father and grandfather, so he studied at Yakydiza and vowed to support himself. He often earned money by washing dishes. He found it a good business to wash dishes and eat every day. When he finished clearing the kitchen table, he returned to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and began to read his audience of friends. When she saw a picture, she stood up and handed the phone to Carlos: -Look, the people in the photo are you and sister-inw, aren''t they? Carlos looked and instantly recognized that it was a screenshot from the surveince of the store where Mica had bought her clothes today. The quality of the image was not particrly clear, and one could only recognize that it was Mica, as for Carlos, who happened to have his back to the camera. Tomas read the text of the image: -At za Santa Maria, meeting with the model final at Garzanca! Carlos frowned. Tomas opened Facebook and flipped through it, indeed, there was this news here too. So he handed his phone to Carlos again. The picture on the phone showed that Carlos and Mica had lunch at noon in a restaurant, and this one was much clearer with a content: -Look, is this beauty the modeling finale at Garzanca? Sensing something was wrong, Mica approached and asked: -What''s wrong? Carlos looked at her, "You''re too attractive, but, at this point, it''s not bad news." Pulling Mica to sit next to him, he replied calmly: -It''s okay -looking at Tomas, she asked-, How many Facebook followers do you have? -More than two hundred thousand. -Very well, retweet this post. Tomas nodded and immediately did so. And then Carlos called Diego to tell him to protect Mica''s personal information, and to look for some Facebook ounts with a lot of followers to repost these two photos. At that moment, Adriana was lying on the couch with a mask on, in a very good mood! Although she had lost a chunk ofnd today, her afternoon live broadcast had been so perfect that her fans had doubled instantly, and severalpanies had called to work with Adriana, including Brinte, which would mean more ie. -Honey, you''re so smart. We''ve suffered the disaster, but we''ve made more out of it," Marta was scrolling through Fecebook with good humor. -Mica is no match for me! -Adriana snorted coldly with pride. -By the way, mom, today I heard Mica say that her boyfriend''s name is Carlos, find out his identity again. But Marta didn''t hear Adriana''s words, she updated the page with a pale face and muttered: -Wow, how did this happen, how did the heat of our news go down? -What''s wrong mom? -Adriana uncovered her mask and walked over. What are you mumbling about? Seeing the news highlighted on the phone screen: -The grand finale of models at Garzanca has appeared at za Santa Maria! -The modeling finale at Garzanca has appeared on TOBEWITHYOU! -The final is with a mystery man! ... She grabbed her phone and opened one of them. The picture wasn''t clear, but below it had many -Wow, what a beauty! -HD request! -I like it! ... Adriana mmed the phone hard against the couch: -Dammit Mica! Trembling with rage, she picked up the phone again and flipped through the news, but there was still no report on Mica''s real profile! "Who is working behind the scenes to protect Mica''s identity while making her more and more popr?" -Yes, how capable this damned woman is! Marta also got angry, she did not expect at all that the once obedient Mica would now be more popr than her own daughter. Adriana thought again of the magnificent man standing next to her. Angrily, she shouted to Marta: -Mom, did you hear what I just told you? Find out the identity of Carlos! -Yes, I''m going to do it," Marta nodded hurriedly. Adriana''s father, Sergio, stayed on the stairs, watching the reaction of the two, listening to their *** All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Carlos was watching the news ratings with satisfaction. They had moved to the studio. Carlos was sitting at theputer table, while Tomas was operating his -"Sister-inw is so attractive that you don''t need to find fans to deliberatelyment," Tomas looked at Carlos and then said, "It looks like yesterday''s catwalk attracted a lot of attention! Why, who would have been the biggest beneficiary? They both had the answer in their minds. Mica looked at them in disbelief. "Can they make eye contact?" She also had her own phone in her hand. Although she hadn''t signed up for a Facebook ount, she knew she was back in the news. Nor was her personal information revealed. -All thanks to you guys, right? When Mica asked this question, Carlos frowned slightly and only after a long moment did he answer: -In addition to us, Brinte also protects you. They are very sincere in signing you. Chapter 131 : I Have To Sleep In The MaidS Room Chapter 131 : I Have To Sleep In The Maid''S Room Chapter 131 : I have to sleep in the maid''s room Mica, however, was a little worried. She hadn''t even officially signed in and caused such a stir. Carlos noticed her uneasiness, so he approached her, rubbing her head and saying softly: -It''s okay. It''s good for your next debut. -Okay... -Mica nodded and immediately felt much calmer. Since he was a child, it was the first time Tomas had seen his older brother''s kind face, only after Mica''s appearance. It urred to him what Diego had said in the morning: -We are both single. Tomas stood up and said: -It''s time for him toe back. -Well," Carlos replied with a look of contempt. Tomas walked away instantly. Only Mica and Carlos were left, so she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She sat down on the sofa, just then the Whatsapp alert rang, and Mica clicked hurriedly. It''s the messages from Ana, Delfina and Alba, not to confirm if the picture on the inte was her, but to ask who was the man next to her. Mica told the truth that, it was her boyfriend! In fact, apart from these friends, the group of her ssmates was already in full discussion. When she was chatting happily with her friends, another message appeared, which was from Olivia.... Carlos sat down next to her and suddenly took the phone away from her. Mica looked puzzled and tried to pick up the phone, but when he raised his hand, she obediently fell into his arms.... He stroked her head, and the fragrance of his body reached her nose. Mica blushed a little, but did not push him away and asked quietly: -Olivia and her boyfriend, have they reconciled? -Yes, they got back together. Thinking about the reason for their breakup, Mica bit her lip and asked seriously: -Carlos, if your family is against? -I only want you! -Without waiting for Mica to finish, he interrupted her, "You don''t have to worry about that. Then he approached her and squeezed her forehead: -I''ll take care of everything, trust me! Mica''s heart raced and then they began to kiss. His breathing was so fast that he took her straight to the bed. The only thing Mica felt around her was Carlos'' scent. She loved him so much that she wouldn''t regret it..... She felt his erection and neck like it was pressing against something. "OMG!" She woke up and pushed him hard! Both Carlos and Mica sat up and she was looking at his hands.... She didn''t know why she pushed him away, as if her hand had a consciousness of its own.... "What to do... The look on Carlos''s face is so strange, should I say go on?" Looking at Mica''s flushed face, Carlos adjusted his breathing, and asked: -She''s not ready yet? Mica bit her lip. "Maybe... " -I''m sorry... -You''re wee, honey -Carlos got up and walked to the door-, I''m going to sleep downstairs. -Wait! -Mica blushed and said in a low voice, "Here, take your pajamas...". Carlos took it, and went out, closing the door. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. When he passed into the next room, he paused for a moment. "At that time when I arranged the furniture, I purposely didn''t put the bed in this room, just to sleep with it. Okay, I have to sleep in the maid''s room .... " Looking at the closed door, Mica felt a little lost and moved.... She looked at the ce where she had just been lying and it turned out that her neck was pressed against the remote control.... *** In the private hospital, someone was full of anger: -Amelia, the trap you worked so hard to design has made that bitch famous! Ivanna stared at Amelia, who was still pale after an operation. "Yes, all for nothing." -You tricked my father into investing in this show and said you''d make me famous as soon as I started. But you didn''t tell me you were the final! You even asked James to design your dress. Haha, you didn''t expect it the dress was worn by Mica. and it looked so good on her! Ivanna shot a furious look and continued. -Did you do it on purpose? If not, why did it look so good on her? -You have a rich imagination," Amelia answered. -But you''ve fooled me and my father! -Ivanna also thought it was unlikely, but she still got angry. -Ivanna, it''s true that I didn''t tell you about the final, but I didn''t tell you I wasn''t going to be there either, and besides, my family''s sponsorship of the program is not much less than yours. -By the way, why is Adriana in first ce? As we agreed before, it was you who came first. Chapter 132 : Her Laugh Was So Bright Chapter 132 : Her Laugh Was So Bright Chapter 132 : Herugh was so bright Ivanna, of course, had asked Adriana, but Adriana reassured her that , in her debut, if she took first ce, the others would be suspicious. Besides, it had provided her with many opportunities for publicity, so naturally she believed in her.... -It won''t do any good for you to be angry now, but to worry about how to deal with Mica. I have to recover from my operation and she''s willing to join Brinte, so how are you going to cope with being All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. a new model with you? Amelia spoke very slowly, because the knife was vaguely painful. In fact, she felt very sad inside. She just wanted to wear the dress designed by James to make an impression and use it to get someone''s attention? She really didn''t expect her to be sick at the critical moment. "Am I that unlucky?" "I don''t think so!" -So what? How does itpare to me? Even if she gets into Brinte, I''ll push her out! -Ivanna - "I think you can. Since we have amon enemy, if you need my help in the future, you can tell me, even if it''s an apology for you," Amelia continued. Only then Ivanna calmed down and left. And then Amelia rang the doorbell to call the caretaker to help her lie down. Ivanna''s words reminded her of something. She had looked familiar to Mica, and why she wore her dress so well made? *** It waspletely ck all over. Carlos woke up with a severe headache and a dry mouth. He turned on the light in the room. And suddenly he saw a woman. Who was she? -Carlos, wake up, are you sick? And then he saw clearly that it was Mica.... He immediately reached out his hand and hugged her. Mica screamed and he took a deep breath. "I dreamed about the nasty woman." As if to chase away that bad dream, he pinned her neck harder, making Mica struggle to avoid him, and let out a giggle: -Hahaha... that''s enough..... Hearing her brightughter, Carlos then felt in a better mood. Carlos got up, and Mica hurried to stand up. -Go wash up. It''s time for breakfast and you have to work on Monday! She was about to leave, but was dragged away by Carlos: -Dress me. As he was naked, Mica was anxious to get out. Yesterday he had given her the pajamas, but she didn''t wear them. As he said, he was not in the habit of wearing pajamas to bed.... -Hurry up. I have a very important meeting this morning. -Then why are you still in bed, get up! The clothes are ready for you, put them on yourself. Carlos gave a push, and Mica fell back into his arms. -Didn''t youe in to serve me the clothes? -I just came in to take a look! Carlos always got up early, apart from today, because he wasn''t used to sleeping in another room, and on the other hand,st night he bathed several times before falling asleep.... Carlos kissed him hard and murmured: -It''s all your fault.... -Okay, I''ll put it on for you," Mica blushed. Only then Carlos let go of her, and immediately Mica struggled to get up and pick up her shirt. He got off the bed and Mica was relieved to see that he was wearing pajama pants. Carlos was even more pleased, and lifted his arm slightly. Mica hurried around behind him, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, then stood in front of him and buttoned it. He looked down and smelled the fragrance of her body. Her face was flushed, her eyshes were long, her lips were red.... Although she did nothing, he was fascinated by her. -Yeah! I''ll do it myself. Mica walked out the door as if she was released.... After washing up, he sat down at the table, and Mica served him some undercooked rice, with a little red shell. Carlos looked at the time, and it was a littlete, then Mica hurried to tell him: -Go to work quickly, and I can leave by bus. In fact, here he was far from hispany and it was a bit inconvenient for him to stay.... -Are you going to quit today? -Carlos asked. -I want to go to thepany and listen to Kiki''s opinion - she was a little bit confused. Carlos nodded and said nothing more. After breakfast, Mica wanted to clean the table, but he stopped her. -Go get your purse and help me pick out a tie. Fearing to dy him, Mica hurried upstairs. When she came downstairs, Carlos put all the dishes in the sink and went out. Being anxious, she didn''t think much, tying the tie around his neck. But then she stopped, she had never tied a man''s tie before.... Chapter 133 : This Client Specifies You Design Chapter 133 : This Client Specifies You Design Chapter 133 : This client specifies you design Just as he was about to pull his hand away, Carlos grabbed him and patiently taught him: -Have you learned? Mica nodded. -Very well, this task is yours from now on. Before Mica could react, Carlos took her by the hand and headed for the door. -Come on, I''ll walk you to work. -It''s not necessary... I have to do the dishes and theundry! -Someone will do it,e on. Seeing his non-negotiable look, Mica had to follow him. Carlos stopped the car, and Mica got out. -Honey... -What? -Mica turned around confused. -Did you forget something? Mica was even more puzzled and then said: -Well! Take care of yourself on the way. Goodbye. Carlos said nothing, just looked at her. Mica said again: -Don''te to pick me up at night. I''lle back on my own, you see it''s very close! Carlos approached her and leaned in to kiss her.... -This is it! Silly girl. They were on the road! Mica rushed out of the car blushing. Carlos saw her back, thinking about the morning''s dream, and became indifferent.... He hadn''t even reached the door of thepany when he bumped into Ana. Just when he was about to greet her, she already saw her: -Take the side door! -What''s going on? -There''s a big crowd at the main entrance, waiting to see your real face! asked Ana rhetorically. Mica looked back and saw that there were indeed a good number of people gathered there. -Thank you, Ana. Ana kept pulling her toward the side door: -Go up the stairs! By the time the two reached the eighth floor, they were quite exhausted. Once they entered their apartment, many people immediately gathered around them. -Mica, were you the one at the news? -Mica, were you the grand finale? -Wow! I can''t imagine you''re a model. ... Ana was even squeezed in the corner.... She had to endure these questions, because she would have to face such scenes after embarking on this modeling path. She looked at everyone and cleared her throat as they all fell silent, waiting for her to speak. -It''s really me. Thank you for caring so much about me. I''m still thinking about signing for Brinte, but not yet, so I want you to keep this secret," she said with a big smile. No one said anything, looking at her seriously. Ana was a little surprised at the group''s reaction. "Did you love Mica''s smile?" Her sincerity won everyone over. -Mica, I can''t let you go! -Keep it a secret. I will never cause you trouble! -Mica, you''ll be popr! -I''ll be your first fan! All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ... Anase was even more surprised. "Mica is so attractive." Mica was touched even though their rtionship was not intimate. Only at that moment did everyone notice Kiki, who had arrived. She pped her hands to get everyone''s attention and said: -Howe they haven''t started work yet! Everyone hurriedly dispersed, not forgetting to say to Mica: -Come on, Mica! -Courage! -I can''t wait to see your next parade! ... Ana, Mica and Kiki, the three of them entered Kiki''s office. Kiki sat down in front of the desk and looked at Mica. "What a shame to miss a talenta! " -Mica, are you really ready to quit? -Ana asked. -"We''re still good friends anyway," Mica said sincerely. Ana got excited and nodded: -You''re very nice, no wonder you''re so popr! Don''t forget about me in the future. -Of course not. *** Kiki pulled out a file from a pile of folders and said: -Mica, make it until the end of this month for thisst order. This client specifies that you design. She specified that I should design? -This person is very rich from Tdia. She likes your designs. She was a newbie, and she didn''t have many designs or know any rich people other than Carlos.... A little puzzled, Mica picked up the folder and opened it to look at it. -Katarina Carballo? The name is familiar... -I know! She''s the one we met at the coffeest time. Her boyfriend went to propose to her, customizing a dress and pretending to be designed by James," said Ana excitedly. It was really her! That day, when she left the cafe, Katarina even told him that they would meet againter. Chapter 134 : In My Heart Chapter 134 : In My Heart Chapter 134 : In My Heart Ana looked at the contents of the document with Mica and murmured: -It''s a set of wedding jewelry - wow, that''s a big order! -Miss Carballo contacted me yesterday. Make an appointment with her as soon as possible to discuss the details of the design. This order will be yourst design at Nubcancion. Come on! -said Kiki. Mica nodded, closed the folder, with her decision made, and said: -Today, then. Kiki nodded, admiring her frankness. Then, Mica and Ana walked out of Kiki''s office together. Sitting down in her seat, Mica immediately flipped through her profile, found her number and dialed it from the deskndline. -Hello," the call was answered quickly, in a pleasant voice. -Hello, this is Nubcancion''s designer, Mica, is it convenient for you to talk about the design requirements now? Katarina paused and answered: -Well, at ten o''clock, at Flores de Verano, on Calle Ramon y Cajal. -Yes, how about 10 o''clock, at Flores de Verano, in Calle Ramon y Cajal? -Okay. -Well, see youter! Since the ce Katarina said was a bit far away, Mica was going to take her things and wait for her there early. Once she had packed, she got up to leave. -Mica, are you ready? -Yes. Ana took her own hat and disposable mask out of the drawer and handed them to her. -You''re more conspicuous now and you''d better cover up. By the way, I think you''re getting prettier and prettier for love. Mica felt a little shy and took them: -Thank you, I''m leaving. -Goodbye! Although it seemed to her that what Ana said was a bit exaggerated, she put them on and took a cab to get there. Flores de Verano was a very ssy coffee shop. It seemed that Katarina really liked coffee, because All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. both of their encounters were in coffee shops. Since today was Monday, there wasn''t much of a customer in the store. Finding a corner, she sat down, took off her mask and looked at the time, arriving half an hour early. She looked around and saw cradle seats intertwined with flowering vines, vibrant greenery everywhere, and the general style of the store was very suitable for women, resulting in a good ce for a date.... Suddenly she remembered Carlos, so she sent him a message: -Guess where I am? It didn''t take him long to answer: -In my heart. She took a sip of water and almost spit it out. She blushed a little, but luckily there was no one else around. Then, without hesitation, she sent: -Tontita! -Is this the affectionate nickname for me? She blushed even more. "No way!" Carlos then asked: -What are you doing in Calle Ramon y Cajal? Mica was a little surprised: -How do you know I''m in Calle Ramon y Cajal? Carlos sent a screenshot of the location: -Your phone is linked to my ount, and I can tell where you are. "No wonder I got into Tomas''s car earlier and he immediately came to follow me..." "And thest time I went to see my piano teacher, she could also show up in that neighborhood..." She was not at all angry that he was keeping an eye on her whereabouts, but rather touched. - "I''m going to discuss design details with mytest client," Mica exined. -Is it a man or a woman? -A man, very handsome! -she said it deliberately. *** In the conference room of Grupo Aguayo. The people seated at the conference table were amazed: The handsome, cold man;plying with serious rules not to y with the phone; but now smiling happily into the phone, was he really the president they knew? But his smile was so charming.... Gee, why did the smile disappear? At that moment, Carlos raised his head, looked at the one who was talking and asked in a cold voice: -And then what, there is no prevention for this error in your project n? The spokesman hurriedly looked at the document in his hand, and stammered in response. The other people were surprised. "Isn''t he ying with his phone, how can he listen to it carefully?" Carlos lowered his head and kept looking at his phone. -as handsome as me? Until he got a little impatient, she replied: -Of course not! You''re the handsomest! Carlos became cheerful. "Sweet words!" *** Mica smirked. "Haha, I can imagine you''re jealous. " -Miss Noboa -a voice rang out. Mica hurried to look and stood up. -Hello, Miss Carballo. Mica was a little surprised. The one standing behind her in a white suit was not her fiance, but her brother, Marcos! He looked at Mica, who was wearing a ck dress, with seven point sleeves, revealing her white arm and slim waist. She looked lovely and elegant. Her hair was not tied back.... It was the first time I had seen her with long hair, which entuated her beauty. Chapter 135 : Her Heart Was Beating So Fast Chapter 135 : Her Heart Was Beating So Fast Chapter 135 : Her heart was beating so fast Katarina noticed that when Mica saw Mark, he looked slightly unnatural. Looking back, he was at a loss, as if he hadn''t seen the beautiful woman. -Marcos, do you and Mica know each other? Marcos didn''t listen to him, and his heart beat violently, without stopping looking at Mica, as the first day he saw her.... Miss Carballo, speaking of which, Mr. Franco is my brother-inw! Mica said before Marcos could speak, making Marcos'' heart ache. -You''re Adriana''s cousin? -Katarina was a little confused. -That''s right," Mica answered, "Please sit down. You''re so punctual, you''re early. -You too. Katarina sat down across from Mica, and was a little surprised to see that Mark sat down too. "Didn''t you say you''d leave when I got there?" -You''re not free, then? -All right, I''m free," said Marcos, taking the menu the waiter handed him, "one coffee without sugar, All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. please. -Me too, with half the sugar -Katarina suddenly realized and said to Marcos -I see, you want to see Mica''s level of design so you can refer to it when you marry Adriana, right? Marcos said nothing, eager to see how Mica would react when she found out that he and Adriana were getting married.... But he was disappointed, because Mica was very quiet.... The waiter was about to ask Mica what she wanted to order, but before she could say anything, Marcos said: -Give her a cup of hot milk, she doesn''t like coffee. Katarina looked at him in surprise: -You are so attentive that you even remember your sister-inw''s preferences well. From what I see, you must treat your girlfriend better, right? Marcos said nothing. He couldn''t remember what Adriana liked. Mica was the only one he loved. A little embarrassed, Mica nodded to the waiter: -That''s all, thank you -then she looked at Katarina-, Miss Carballo, when is your wedding scheduled? I need to confirm the delivery date and production cycle. Mica opened the notebook, listening to Katarina as she carefully wrote down the main information. Since it was a wedding ornament, it was best to talk about their love story. Then Katarina was telling about the affairs between Antonio and her.... Marcos sat there, not listening to what Katarina was saying, limiting himself to look at Mica. Once she became serious, he ignored absolutely anything around him. Just like now,municating with Katarina, she could ignore her existence from Marcos. *** It urred to Marcos the time with Mica at the university. She seemed very special to him, and he would like to be by her side. In the end, he would fall in love with her. However, she was very busy. To see her, two years after graduating, he still went back to college, sitting in ss and apanying her, just as he had done before. At first she felt a little embarrassed, but then she ignored himpletely because she was concentrating on the ss.... Watching Mica and Katarina chatting, and he felt very jealous. Now it was already a luxury to even see her. After leaving him, she seemed to be living better than before, that she was in the runway finals and looked very attractive. Her boyfriend of Mica must have been more powerful than he was, and he could give her anything she wanted. But she would never know how excited Marcos was to hear her voice on Katarina''s phone in the morning.... Last night, Antonio took Katarina home. In the morning, he had to go to thepany beforehand, so he let Marcos walk her home. After she got up, he had breakfast at the restaurant. And then he got the call from Mica. Only then did Marcos hear Mica''s voice.... He was incredibly grateful for the task his older brother had given him. What he regretted most was not having stopped Adriana from setting Mica up in the first ce. However, it was toote now because he had lost her. *** Even Katarina caught Mark''s gaze, thinking in her heart. "You''re out of luck, she doesn''t even pay attention to you, and in a dress from James, she''s already another man''s destined bride!" However,pared to Adriana, Katarina liked Mica more. -Hey, Miss Carballo. Seeing that she had walked away, Mica couldn''t help but call out to her. Katarina reacted instantly, frowned and said: -Mica, it''s not the first time we''ve met, and you can just call me Katarina. I''m not only looking for you to design jewelry, but I also want to make you a friend. Mica was so surprised that she forgot what she wanted to say. "She''s as nice as Olivia." Katarina saw that she said nothing, and continued: -I was quite happy when I got your call this morning, but your tone was distant, so I was immediately in a bad mood. But I wanted to make friends with you, so I came earlier. Mica was moved and was about to exin, but Marcos said: Chapter 136 : Have You Never Loved Me? Chapter 136 : Have You Never Loved Me? Chapter 136 : Have you never loved me? -She''s not good at taking the initiative. Katarina looked at Mark with surprise: -Why do you know her too well...? -Katarina, It was my cousin who told her -Mica frowned, and exined. Mica had no intention of talking to her about her previous rtionship with Marcos. -Okay... Katarina was pleased that Mica called her by name, and suddenly leaned over the table and gestured for her toe closer. Mica was a little puzzled, but then she did not hesitate to lean over and heard Katarina whisper: -In fact, you and your cousin don''t have a good rtionship, do you? Mica was surprised and wanted to look up, but Katarina prevented her and then continued: -I don''t like her either! Katarina nced at Marcos. "Her boyfriend is here and it''s really not convenient to talk bad about her!" As if she knew what he was thinking, Mica said with a smile: -We can meet again next time, just the two of us. Katarina immediately understood. -Now, we only have a few details left," said Mica as she went back to asking him other questions. Marcos was still sitting silently, nning something in his mind. Seeing that they had almost finished talking and that it was getting close to lunchtime, he looked at Mica: -It''s time. Let''s go eat! Katarina epted it and said: -Yes, Mica, let''s eat together! Mica gathered her things and shook her head: -No, I have something to do. -Let''s eat first. If she were eating with Katarina, Mica wouldn''t refuse, but with Marcos she didn''t feel the need to. Marcos signaled the waiter to pay the bill, and Mica had already taken out her wallet: -I''m going to pay. Marcos tried to push her hand back, but Mica avoided him, insisting on this. The waiter felt embarrassed because normally the man pays the bill. -Mica, let Marcos pay it," Katarina said, sensing that Mica''s reaction was strange. -It''s not necessary," Mica was very insistent. -Mica! -Marcos shouted in rage. Both Mica and Katarina were surprised. Mica stood up and insisted on handing the card to the waiter: -I don''t know this man well, please pass my card. The waiter saw how determined Mica was, so he took it and headed to the front desk to pay the bill. Katarina looked at the disappointed Marcos, and then at the indifferent Mica, and felt as if she knew something.... Marcos also stood up and looked at Mica, asking: -Mica Have you never loved me? Katarina She was taken aback. "My mother, aren''t she and Adriana cousins?" -We''ve been together for three years, but you didn''t spend my money, ept any gifts, or let me pay the bill.... "They''ve been together for three years?" "He and Adriana haven''t even been together six months, have they?" "So, Adriana interfered with their love?" Mica frowned and looked at Marcos: -Don''t talk nonsense here! -What will it take for you to forgive me? Mica took a deep breath and looked around. Luckily, she was in a quiet ce, plus there was no one in the store at the moment, otherwise she would have gotten augh. He didn''t want to talk to Marcos, so he took his card, looked at Katarina and said: -Katarina, I''m leaving. I''ll let you know when the design is done. After saying this, she gathered her things and wanted to leave immediately. Marcos wanted to stop her, but Katarina, gave him a look and said: -Let me help you. Then he stood up, took Mica''s hand and asked her in a soft voice: -Mica, between you, is there any misunderstanding? You should give her a clear answer. -I really have nothing to say nor do I have any rtionship with him -Mica reflected for a while, and then she said to Marcos. -I can''t guarantee that I loved you before, at that moment, you were the only person by my side. If I got married, that person would be you. But now, even if you were the only man left in the world, I would not marry you! This is my answer. Mark felt his mood suddenly brighten and at times he was disappointed. Every word she said hit him All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. straight in the heart. -I''m d I didn''t spend your money and don''t have to me you one bit! Mark was so sorry. "Why did I lose such a good woman?" Chapter 137 : Thank You For Allowing Me To Meet Micaela. Chapter 137 : Thank You For Allowing Me To Meet Mica. Chapter 137 : Thank you for allowing me to meet Mica. His words had touched her Katarina. "Nowadays, how many girls enjoy the money provided by their boyfriends, but she didn''t and she is more independent." "She is very special, that''s why she won''t be given up by Marcos, right?" Mica felt she had said too much, and as she turned to leave, I saw Carlos who was a few steps behind her. "How long has he been here?" "What did you hear?" Only then did she remember that she didn''t see what he answered her next. "You didn''t hear what I said, did you?" Mica paused in silence. Carlos stepped forward, lifted her chin and asked quietly: -Are you not d to see me? Why don''t youe and hug me? All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mica sensed that he was angry, although she said with a smile.... She would never have done something like that in public, but now, without the slightest hesitation, she went straight to him and hugged him. Carlos felt a little happier, but continued to look at Marcos with indifference. Katarina felt surprise again. A little shyly, Mica let go of him and turned to introduce herself, but Carlos said first: -I''m her boyfriend. "Boyfriend?" "You''re too intimate!" Marcos felt very annoyed. Since Katarina was about to get married, she couldn''t stare at a man. To the naked eye, this man was good-looking and his whole body gave off an elegant and gorgeous aura, so it could be concluded that his status was not low. Katarina looked at Mica and suddenly asked her a question. -Did you fall in love with her after she broke up with Marcos? -If I had met her first, I wouldn''t have been with Mr. Franco -Carlos answered indifferently. Suddenly he realized he had asked an inopportune question and hurried to exin: -Mica, I''m sorry? -You''re wee. She had already broken up with Mr. Franco before establishing a rtionship with him, or rather, if it wasn''t for Mr. Franco... she probably wouldn''t have met him. If she hadn''t gone to Hotel Estencell, she wouldn''t have met Carlos. Carlos looked at Marcos and said: -To show my gratitude to you for allowing me to meet Mica, let''s eat together! Marcos froze. He had originally expected it too, but now.... Katarina was also confused. *** Sitting in a luxurious private room of a five-star hotel, Mica was in doubt. "What should I do if my ex and my current boyfriend are eating at the same table?" Then she unconsciously pulled out her phone and saw the messages Carlos had sent. -Well, you can congratte me every day. -You''re not done with your work yet? -Wait for me there and let''s have lunch together. "He must have been afraid of interrupting my work and that''s why he didn''t call, right?" "He was early, so he heard everything I said." "I really didn''t know Marcos wasing with Katarina. But, I even told Carlos earlier that the client was male and handsome? My God." The waiter handed the menu to Carlos, and Carlos ordered a few dishes. Marcos listened attentively to the names of the dishes, and they were actually the ones Mica liked! They hadn''t been together long, but he knew her preferences well, and even made a note not to put pepper on it because he didn''t like it, on the other hand Marcos, who had been with her for almost two years, discovered it..... When Carlos finished, he put the menu towards Katarina, indicating her to order: -Miss Carballo, order as you like. Katarina was a little surprised: -How do you know me? -Calro, you are the only daughter of Grupo Carballo. Katarina ordered two dishes she liked before returning the menu to the waiter. Carlos was very attentive, and even the seats were well arranged, that two girls sit in the center, two men sit side by side, and he himself, sits to the right of Mica. -Mr. Aguayo... -Katarina was a little hesitant because she had never met Carlos-, did you give the dress designed by James to Mica? Carlos nodded and looked at Mica: -Yes, she probably doesn''t like that dress and she only wore it once. "It seems James has a good rtionship with him and this one must have a higher status than my family." Mica blushed slightly and exined quietly: -It''s not that I don''t like it, it''s too expensive and I''m afraid of breaking it? -Isn''t it because it has a special meaning that you''re embarrassed to wear it? -Carlos asked rhetorically with a smile. Chapter 138 : Her Determined Attitude Was Evident To Everyone. Chapter 138 : Her Determined Attitude Was Evident To Everyone. Chapter 138 : Her determined attitude was evident to everyone. Mica''s face reddened even more. Seeing the shy Mica now, Katarina knew there was no hope for Marcos and Mica really liked her boyfriend. On the way to the hotel, Katarina wanted to ask Marcos what was going on between him and Mica, but seeing that Marcos was frowning and didn''t want to say anything else, she didn''t. But why didn''t Marcos refuse to eat together? Marcos had never seen this shy expression from Mica before. He felt very sad and knew he shouldn''te, but still he couldn''t help seeing her.... "Did you give her that dress from James?" Mark also wanted to gift clothes to Mica before, but she refused.... "Wait, a dress designed by James? The GIBIERRE brand?" In fact, he had seen Mica wearing that dress, when she found that he and Adriana were in bed. Adriana even said it was a gift from Mr. Gallo, and it was fake. It turned out that not only was it true, but it was also a gift from the man so imposing in front of him.... Marcos remembered with emotion the whole thing at that moment. That day, when Mica was framed and sent to the hotel, Mr. Gallo didn''t get away with it because the man in front of him had saved her.... He knew very well that Mica would never ept clothes from someone she didn''t know, so her clothes were damaged by Mr. Gallo, right? Marcos did not dare to imagine that image. It was him, who gave Mr. Aguayo the opportunity to meet her and saved her.... As the dishes were served one after another, Katarina and Marcos could not help but pay attention to Mica and her boyfriend. The more Marcos watched, the sadder he became, and he had no appetite. Mica was very well taken care of by her boyfriend... he kept offering her food..... He also thought of doing this, but Mica did not allow it because she was shy. So he just ate alone.... What girl didn''t like to feel pampered? Katarina was also amazed that a man with outstanding looks and an extraordinary temperament was doing such a thing for a woman, instead, he seemed more gentle, kind, and attractive. If she didn''t already have a boyfriend, she couldn''t help but fall in love with a man like that..... Carlos put the peeled shrimp on Mica''s te, but she shook her head: -That''s enough for me. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. -Eat more and get fat. -I''m not thin! Carlos frowned and looked at Mica: -Yes? Touching your waist makes me feel thinner. "Mother of mine!" Katarina couldn''t believe her hearing. "Would they have made love already?" Marcos felt sadder. "It can''t be, she''s conservative..." Although the two had deliberately lowered their voices, the room was so quiet, everyone could hear clearly. Mica blushed and saw Marcos looking at her, full ofplicated emotions.... -Hey, you''re so affectionate that you ignore us -Katarina couldn''t help joking-, can you even feel her waist getting thinner, are your hands a ruler? Mica blushed even more. As she had be ustomed to Carlos'' care and, in fact had ignored the two people sitting next to her.... -I''m sorry, Katarina.... -No apology! I just feel jealousy. But someone, it''s envy and jealousy, isn''t it? -She''s my sweetheart, I''ve certainly felt it -Carlos said, looking at Mica. Mica directly covered his mouth, whispering: -Shut up... Katarina looked at Marcos next to her. "You''ve seen it all, haven''t you? I told you not toe." Carlos suddenly spoke to Marcos: -Mr. Franco, you haven''t eaten much, is it because you don''t like food? -I have no appetite. They have taken the treasure from me and I am not in the mood. Katarina looked at him with admiration. "Come on, Marcos!" Carlos smiled slightly and asked rhetorically. -Is that so? I''m afraid you''ve lost it by not protecting well, haven''t you? His words that hit the nail on the head! If he wasn''t greedy, how could he have been tempted by Adriana and agreed to her harming Mica? If they were still together, they would have ended up getting married by now? -Your treasure is mine now, and I will protect it well," Carlos said firmly. Mica''s heart beat faster and she felt moved. And Marcos was speechless. Katarina was also surprised. In front of this man, Marcos would have no chance of winning at all! His determined attitude was obvious to everyone! Chapter 139 : It Was Good That She Chose Me As Her Boyfriend Chapter 139 : It Was Good That She Chose Me As Her Boyfriend Chapter 139 : it was good that she chose me as her boyfriend -Well, let''s keep all our treasures from now on! -Katarina changed the subject and asked Mica-, What perfume are you spraying on yourself. it smells great! Her profession was perfumes at the university, and she knew all the perfumes. -She doesn''t wear perfume," said Carlos. Mica looked at him with some surprise. She had never told him, how did she know? His body odor was not strong. When there were many people, it was easy to cover it up with other scents. Since it didn''t cause him any trouble, she didn''t bother with it..... -Wow, a unique fragrance! No wonder she didn''t recognize it," Katarina frowned slightly and continued, "However, I feel that familiar this fragrance....". Carlos was slightly surprised - it seemed familiar to him too! Katarina, may I know something? -We have met before in Dragon''s Dream," said Mica. Katarina carefully remembered and said: -That day I sprayed myself with perfume, besides there were a lot of people there with all kinds of perfumes, so I didn''t notice any scent like yours. Mark felt his heart ache again. He had always thought that Mica''s fragrance was from a perfume? It turned out he was such an ipetent boyfriend! Katarina looked at Mica and said: -If a perfume could be developed that smelled like you, it would be very popr. She, as a woman, was attracted to her, because Mica was very special. -Hahaha, I can take some blood and cut some meat for you to study.... -Mica joked. -Don''t talk nonsense! -Carlos interrupted her with disgust- Don''t hurt yourself! -Mica, you''re very good at choosing men! Mica blushed slightly, without saying anything. -Really? -Carlos asked indifferently and looked intentionally at Marcos. -More or less... -Katarina paused. Katarina knew that Marcos liked to flirt a lot with women and she was surprised that Mica fell in love with him from the beginning. -But it was good that she chose me as her boyfriend," Carlos said proudly. Katarina burst outughing. I never thought that such a cold man could still be narcissistic. Love was incredible! I felt a certain sympathy for Marcos. Against such a powerful opponent as Carlos, there was no way he could win! It didn''t do any good for Marcos to stay here. -Mr. Aguayo, thank you for your hospitality. I have something to do. I''ll be on my way. Carlos nodded his head. Marcos, though reluctant, knew there was no point in staying here. But he still wanted to say something else to Mica.... Looking towards Mica, he saw Carlos whispering and asking her. -Honey, have you eaten well? -Yes, let''s go too. Carlos, naturally, helped her pick up her bag and notebook. They got along as harmoniously as if they had rehearsed it countless times, and Marcos finally left without saying a word. The four of them left, splitting into two groups. Mica got back into Carlos'' car: -Carlos, I want to go back to thepany..... -Do you have to go back? -What''s wrong? -Mica was a little confused. -I don''t want to be separated from you. -We can meet at hometer.... -Mica blushed instantly. -Can you work in my office? She agreed after a moment''s hesitation. She just had to talk to Kiki, the necessary information was with her, and the most important thing was that she didn''t want to reject him... Carlos drove to hispany with joy. It didn''t take him long to arrive at his exclusive parking lot at Grupo Aguayo. Once again, seeing those luxurious cars, Mica couldn''t help but be surprised. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Carlos took her by the hand and entered the elevator, which went directly to the top floor. After getting out of the elevator, Carlos headed straight to his office, with hurried steps, which made Mica speed up her steps as well, wondering if he had any urgent business to deal with.... He pushed open the door to his office and led her towards the living room. Her heart suddenly raced and she didn''t have time to say anything before she was thrown on the bed and then he bit her lips hard as punishment.... When he kissed her until she couldn''t breathe, he stopped and kissed along her neck, whispering: -Can you imagine marrying him? How does that guypare to me? Mica was in a trance and only then did she realize that he was jealous.... Since he hadn''t shown any displeasure, she assumed he didn''t care what she said. It turned out that he wanted to go home and punish her in this way. Chapter 140 : Because YouRe Meant To Be My Girlfriend Chapter 140 : Because You''Re Meant To Be My Girlfriend Chapter 140 : Because you''re meant to be my girlfriend Her body was getting weaker and weaker. Like her but she didn''t want him to misunderstand anything and struggled to exin herself: -Carlos, since you heard this sentence, you should have heard everything too! He didn''t stop kissing her until he heard her words: -Yes, I heard it. Mica tried to avoid his movements: -I didn''t know you then! -You can''t think like that even if you didn''t know me! Mica was speechless. "How dominant!" Carlos''s burning body heat seemed to melt her, and as Mica became more and more disoriented, she felt a vague pain in the back of her neck.... -No... Then Carlos immediately looked up to look at her. She was so shy that she didn''t look at him, her face flushed like an apple, rubbing the back of her neck.... All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -Are you all right? Carlos asked with concern. He stood up and tried to see what was wrong with her neck, but Mica avoided him and shook her head. -I''m fine. Suppressing the sudden uneasiness that arose in his heart, Mica looked at him and asked: -How do you know that if I had met you first, I would not have been with him? His love for her came suddenly and violently. When they met for the first time, he asked her to stay with him. At the time, they didn''t know each other at all, so she thought at first that he just wanted to pass the time and was not sincere with her.... Carlos responded firmly, gently stroking her cheek: -Because you are destined to be my girlfriend. Mica felt joyful for his love, hugging his waist and resting her face against his chest with her eyes closed: -Thank you. Before, I didn''t know love well, but now, I know it..... Carlos stroked her hair with a smile. Her rare initiative delighted him. It exined why she wanted to marry Marcos before, because she had never met Carlos and didn''t know what love was.... -It''s nothing, honey. Smelling the fragrance of her body, Carlos thought about what Katarina said. "I was familiar with her scent too, could I have seen her before?" A bold idea urred to him and he wanted to confirm it. So he had to restrain his sexual desire and let go of her to get off the bed.... But she grabbed his sleeve and asked red-faced: -Don''t you want to take a nap? It was now almost 12:30. -Honey, are you tempting me? Mica was quick to release him and exined: -I just thought you might be sleepy! However, Carlos smiled. It was the first time Mica saw such an obvious and charming smile on him, and it made her heart beat faster.... Carlos kissed her, and said in a tempting voice: -Honey, I''ve be addicted to you and I can''t stand the slightest closeness with you. -I haven''t done anything! -You don''t need to do anything to fascinate me anymore. When Mica looked into his charming eyes, her heart was beating so fast.... -When are you going to have sex with me? Carlos'' question brought Mica back to her senses, and then she answered him in a low voice: -Wait a little longer.... Carlos gently lifted her chin again, kissed her forehead and replied: -Okay -then he got up and said- -I have something to do, so take a nap, okay? Mica nodded and Carlos headed to the office. *** On the way back. Katarina searched for something on her phone, but the search was limited: -Why can''t I find out who it is? Then, looking at Marcos, she asked: -One question, do you know the name of Mica''s boyfriend? He wanted to confirm his suspicion. Marcos, still remorseful, until he heard Katarina''s question, said what he knew: -I have investigated before, but nothing was discovered. I only know that he is known as Mr. Aguayo, and he has an assistant named Mr. Ocampo, because I met him once. Then, Katarina was even more sure of her suspicions. -You have guessed his identity, haven''t you? Marcos nodded. In fact, he had vaguely guessed it since that time he met again at Mr. Campos'' cocktail party because Mr. Campos treated him with so much respect. He just wasn''t sure. With the surname Aguayo, in the entire city of Tdia, there was only one family that could inspire such awe. Thus, he had a strong inferiorityplex in front of the powerful. -What is the special symbolism of the dress designed by James? -Marcos asked. Chapter 141 : I CanT Sign At The Moment. Chapter 141 : I Can''T Sign At The Moment. Chapter 141 : I can''t sign at the moment. Katarina frowned slightly and asked carefully: -Do you really want to know? Marcos nodded his head. -This dress was designed and made by James. It was a one-of-a-kind piece, with no model to try it on, and was to be a gift for some destined bride. Many gentlemen tried to beg James to sell it to them, but he refused. Katarina paused, looked at him and continued: -Including your brother. However, when Mr. Aguayo showed up, James insisted on giving her this dress, which Mica then wore. It looked great on her. But James hadn''t seen her when he designed and made the dress, so the name of the dress is: Destined! "The first time Mr. Aguayo met Mica, he gave her this dress?" "Was she Mr. Aguayo''s destined bride?" "Then what am I?" Katarina noticed his sadness. "It''s your fault for not appreciating her." The car went silent. Leaving her at the door of Grupo Carballo, Marcos headed towards thepany. At that moment, his phone rang and it was Adriana calling. He finally picked up: -Marcos, where are you? I want to see you," Adriana''s tone was a bit pleading. It was not yet time to go to work. "I''m tired of being with her. It''s better to meet and talk to her." -Where are you? -I''m on my way. On the other end of the phone, Adriana was pleased: -I''m near your apartment. I''ll meet you there, okay? Marcos resisted a little. He had never been back there since he had been discovered making love with Adriana by Mica... -I''ll wait for you," said Adriana and hung up the phone. Marcos sighed, turned the car around and headed for his apartment. Adriana had the key and arrived before him. When he pushed the door, he was embraced. The fragrance of a fresh bath surrounded him, and Adriana was wearing only a bath towel. Mark tried to push her away, but she wouldn''t let him, kissing him directly and reaching into his clothes.... After sex, he hated himself even more. "It was because I couldn''t resist the temptation that she broke up with me, wasn''t it?" She got out of bed and said as she fixed her dress: -Let''s break up. Adriana violently sat up and dragged Marcos. With her naked body trembling slightly, she asked incredulously: -Why? I really love you... I was busy before, but I will definitely spend more time with you in the future.... -I''m tired, let''s break up! Adriana pounced on him, and said loudly: -No! I''ll never agree to break up! You''re still thinking about Mica, aren''t you? You don''t like her! Do you know who her current boyfriend is? Marcos stopped moving. Although he had guessed, it had never been confirmed. Adriana hurried to continue saying: -It''s Carlos, the head of the three great families of Tdia! She said it herself, Carlos is her boyfriend! Marcos, you know, Mica has abandoned you, but I''m by your side! Adriana looked at him with a pitying expression: -I will always love you. Then she kissed him. "It''s not that Mica has abandoned me, it''s that I haven''t appreciated her." "Today, we had dinner together and she saw it clearly. I can''tpete with her boyfriend. I don''t have a rtionship with her anymore, do I?" The woman next to him had seduced him, and Marcos realized that, after all, she was his cousin, and if he married her, he would have nothing to do with Mica! Thinking of this, he mercilessly pressed Adriana to make love to her. He didn''t see Adriana''s intriguing smile. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "Familia Franco is about to unite with Familia Carballo in marriage, how could I let Marcos go!" "I''m going to take good advantage of him!" *** Mica was no longer sleepy, so she got up, went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror to see what was behind her neck. But she turned a few angles, she couldn''t see clearly, in the end she gave up with some frustration.... Just now Carlos wanted to take a look, but she didn''t know why she wasn''t willing to let him look? What was wrong with the back of her neck, why did it hurt every time she was intimate with Carlos? She touched it, felt nothing, and it didn''t hurt to press it.... The phone that was ced outside rang, so Mica went out to answer it. Looking at the name on the screen, she hesitated a moment before picking up: -Mr. Eric, hello! -Dear, how did you think of that? I''ve been waiting all morning for your answer. -I''m sorry, Mr. Eric, I can''t sign in right now. -Is there something holding you up? -Eric asked, very nervous. -Yes, there is still an order toplete. -Can''t it be given to another designer? -Eric was a little anxious. -The client specified me to design it, I''m very sorry. Chapter 142 : YouRe The Most Delicious Dessert Chapter 142 : You''Re The Most Delicious Dessert Chapter 142 : You''re the most delicious dessert Eric weighed his words and said: -I''m not trying to make things difficult for you. You should have seen the news about you, you can save a lot of them by taking advantage of this current fever and making your debut.... -Brinte also went out of her way to keep your mystery in the weekend news. I''m afraid that if it goes on too long, your true identity will be discovered before the time and your debut will be less impressive.... Not only because of that, but also because of the fear that otherpanies will find you and sign you first. So Eric thought he should tempt her by saying. -Besides, aren''t you short of money? If you sign the contract, thepany will pay you eight hundred thousand euros right away and can wait until you finish your current job. After a moment''s thought, Mica replied: -I''m sorry, Mr. Eric, I don''t need the money anymore. But I still appreciate your sincerity. I promise I''ll get back to you once I''m done with the job," after a pause. I assure you that when I sign, I will be even more impressed than before. Mica had absolute confidence. Eric was very surprised. "How can a girl who just graduated be so confident?" But her confident voice and intelligence made Eric very appreciative. She was worth waiting for! And he had to sign it! Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -Okay! I believe you! I''ll wait for your call. Hanging up the phone, Mica breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her notebook and folder, then headed to the office and saw Carlos sitting in front of her desk, apparently he had just finished a call as well. Seeing Mica, he put the phone down, walked over, put his hands on her shoulders and asked: -Can''t you sleep without me? Iris blushed instantly: -No way! Mr. Eric just called me and I couldn''t sleep. Carlos liked her shyness very much and asked with a smile: -Well, what did you say? Mica looked at him and confessed: -He urged me to sign the contract. I told him I would get in touch with him when I finished the job in question. -Very good, how clever! With a simple appreciation, Mica couldn''t help but feel a little joyful, blossoming a charming smile. Carlos hugged her, wanting her to be his exclusive. But she was about to be a model..... -Carlos, can you give me a piece of paper? I want to draw a picture. -Do you need aptop? -He let go of her and asked. -No, I like to draw with my hands. -Good. Carlos turned and, in the bottom drawer of the tall bookcase, took out many papers and put them on the living room table for her, next to her folder. He didn''t ask her to work with him in the office, because when the staff arrivedter, they would surely talk about her in private. He kissed Mica on the cheek before Carlos left. Mica blushed a little, thinking that before he only held her hand but now she was getting used to his kisses. -When are you going to have sex with me? Her question urred to her and she was still too shy. Then it didn''t take Mica long to focus on her work. After talking so much with Katarina, she already had a rough idea in her mind. Once she got serious, she went at it, without distractions, drawing, changing and pondering, not noticing who turned on the light for her when the lighting became dim.... It was nighttime, he came in once but she didn''t notice him. Grupo Aguayo was so big that it was always busy. Tomas was on a business trip, otherwise he could help her. After dealing with some more paperwork, it urred to Carlos that he should take her out to dinner. So he packed his things and went to pick her up. Her posture didn''t even change and the room was so quiet that you could even hear the crunch of the charcoal pencil as it slid. Carlos walked over and looked at her side face. "If she hadn''t been set up by Adriana and Marcos, I wouldn''t have met her, and that would have been my lifelong regret," he said. Doing nothing, just watching her quietly, gives me a sense of happiness..." Another half hour had passed... "Why am I attracted to her again?" His time was extremely valuable, and every minute could be counted in money! But if he could buy a meeting with Mica with money, he would give all his goods.... "May we never part!" Suddenly, he took a big step forward and kissed her..... The whole ss wall was covered with his reflections: A long-haired woman, sitting at the table, her hand still holding a tombstone. A tall, handsome man, wearing a suit jacket, kissing her. This image was so beautiful that even the moon outside the window, blushing, was hidden in the clouds..... It was a long time before Carlos let go of Mica, and she lowered her head, her face full of scarlet. -Honey, we''re going home. -Good. Mica picked up the things on the table and left with him. Sitting in the car, Carlos asked: -Do you want to eat at home or out? When she looked at the time, it was already eight o''clock in the evening. -It''s already veryte. Are you very hungry? Mica asked Carlos, who was driving, with concern. -No, you just gave me dessert. Chapter 143 : Everything I Have Is Yours, Including Me. Chapter 143 : Everything I Have Is Yours, Including Me. Chapter 143 : Everything I have is yours, including me. -Why don''t I remember? "You mean the kiss, right?" Mica blushed, looked out the window and said: -We dined out. It was even harder for her to cook at home, and she feared Carlos was already very hungry. Carlos took her back to the hotel where he ate at noon, and Mica recognized him. "Is there a need to go to such a fancy hotel even for a casual dinner?" "Would it be too extravagant?" Mica hastened to say before he stopped: -Carlos, are you very hungry? If you''re not in a hurry, I''ll cook you noodles. -I don''t want you to be too tired. -I''m not tired. There''s no need to eat in a five-star hotel for the two of us. -Are you that anxious to save me money? Carlos didn''t insist and asked as he turned the car around. -Your money is mine, of course I have to save? -Mica said bluntly. She was independent and frugal, while he, who had to go to a five-star hotel for a dinner.... Suddenly, he realized the difference between their habits.... -Mica, don''t think about nonsense! Yes, she had decided to be with him, what was the point of thinking about it? -Everything I have is yours, including me, you know? -Carlos said seriously. Seeing her suddenly pale and dazed, he knew she must be thinking about something else. When she calmed down a bit, he asked her: -And you? -What? -Do you belong to me then? -Carlos, you''re getting better at speaking kind words. -Don''t you like them? -Carlos smiled even happier. Hahaha, because I just had dessert. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "Why did you bring up kissing again?" Carlos smirked. After meeting her, he was happier than ever. When he returned home, she went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and saw live shrimp! Mica turned around in surprise, and saw that Carlos had alreadye in: -I asked Sofia to buy them. You don''t have to go food shopping in the future, she will fill the fridge! She was so moved, she didn''t know what to say.... -I''m going to help you. Mica looked at the shrimp and came up with an idea. Grabbing a te, she took some out and handed them to her: -Then you take care of the shrimps. Then she was going to get the other ingredients. Last time at Yunalvian, the seafood noodles cooked by Sofia were particrly delicious, so she was eager to try them! As she turned around, she saw Carlos standing at the sink, considering how to kill the shrimp.... Mica let out augh. "I knew he wouldn''t do it!" She walked over and picked up the shrimp to show him: -Cut it from here, then stick your fingers in and fish this out, be careful, the threads of the shrimp can be pulled off all together..... Carlos looked at Mica''s slender fingers with an extra bunch of nasty green stuff on them and immediately took the shrimp and scissors out of her hands before wiping her hand. -I''ve learned it. let me do this kind of dirty work! Mica originally wanted to make a joke, but now she was excited? Carlos told her to stand aside and started washing the shrimp. Although she was still a little nauseous, she felt a sense of aplishment. -Well done, Carlos! The man who received the praise was like a child and still wanted to open the refrigerator to take out more. -Carlos, that''s enough! -Mica rushed to stop him. However, Carlos took out some more: -You have to eat more! In the end, the two bowls of noodles were covered with shrimp! Although the taste was indeed extraordinarily fresh, Mica couldn''t help but feel tired from eating too much. Besides, she had been forced by him to eat a lot at midday.... Carlos ate enough because he was hungry and also because he helped himself. He didn''t refuse the shrimp she left him either. It was already nine o''clock when we finished dinner. Carlos insisted that she wash the dishes. Watching her movements, which were already quite skillful. "He''s really a good apprentice..." Mica went back to the living room, sat down in front of the sofa, took out the drawing and mulled it over to continue drawing. When she found the feeling, the pencil came away from her! Chapter 144 : This Man Is So Perfect Chapter 144 : This Man Is So Perfect Chapter 144 : This man is so perfect Carlos looked at her and said in amanding tone: -Go take a bath and rest. When she got busy, she got so involved that she could forget everything around her, and if he wasn''t looking, she was sure to go back to drawing like thest time, until she fell asleep before she stopped. When she looked at the time, it was not yet ten o''clock: -I''m going to draw for an hour? However, Carlos carried her straight up the stairs in his arms. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. -Now! -eximed Mica with a reddened face: -Okay... I don''t draw anymore, he put me downstairs..... -No. -I... -Mica was even more shy and asked in a low voice-, Am I heavy? Mica thought of the night before, also being carried upstairs by him in this way.... Carlos looked at her, and answered jokingly: -Yes, you are quite heavy! "I shouldn''t have eaten so many noodles..." Carlos shot her a look and said: -I''ve seen a saying on the Inte. -What? -The world of thin people is iprehensible. "You mean I''m not really heavy?" Stopping at the door to her room, Carlos set her down, pushed the door open and ordered. -Go take a bath. Mica hesitated a moment, then fastened her pajamas to the bathroom. Mica soon emerged in her pajamas, snorting: -Carlos! He was standing on the balcony when he heard her scream. "Hahaha, did you hear?" Turning around, he saw Mica was swollen with anger, wearing a pajama set, with pink flowers. She looked very cute and charming. Carlos came in and closed the balcony door, saying in a soft voice: -Don''t catch a cold. His caution made Mica pause, but when he thought about his behavior, Mica was still shaking with anger! She lifted her head a little to show him her neck covered with spots, which she noticed when she showered. -Carlos, look what you''ve done! Carlos pretended to be puzzled and looked down intently, but was attracted by her scent. After a long while he asked: -What''s the matter, are you allergic? At first he thought she was allergic, but there were no symptoms, and then he remembered this the hickey. "This must be his handiwork!" Seeing that he was still ying dumb, Mica became even more furious: - "You did it on purpose, I have to go to work tomorrow! Carlos felt his heart melt as he pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear: -Okay, it was my fault, next time be nice! -You did it on purpose, didn''t you? -Yes, yes, yes, yes, darling. I want to leave my mark on you. "Don''t you think such an act is childish?" But then she felt he was rather cute: -But you mustn''t leave in such a conspicuous ce? -I mean, is it okay to be in an inconspicuous ce? Only then did Mica react to what he had said: -Not anywhere! I want to rest now. Carlos was pushed to the door of the room and Mica was closing the door with a red face. -Aren''t you forgetting something? Those words again! Mica immediately remembered that she had said the same thing in the morning, and she also knew what she meant.... -Or, do you want it in an inconspicuous ce? Mica didn''t wait for him to finish, she stood on her tiptoes and gave him a strong kiss on the cheek, immediately retreating to the bedroom. Carlos stroked his cheek and stared at the door. One, two, three... When she calmed down, he gently opened the door.... She didn''t know why she wanted to do it so badly.... Mica saw that Carlos was still standing, maintaining his handsome posture. The heartbeat that had just calmed down jumped again, and then Carlos pulled her into his arms, kissing her.... Until they were both out of breath, Carlos let go of her slightly and asked her softly: -Do you want to see if I have left or do you want to go down for the drawings? As if influenced by him, Mica also answered briefly and directly: -See you. -Sweetheart -Carlos kissed her-, Good night. Mica turned around, entered, closed the door after a pause: -Good night. Mica clung to the sheet and was cowering under it. In that moment of doubt, she wanted very much to say: Stay.... However, he did not force her and alwaysplied with her wishes. "This man is so perfect." Finally she fell asleep... Chapter 145 : Do You Know Who You Replaced As The End? Chapter 145 : Do You Know Who You Reced As The End? Chapter 145 : Do you know who you reced as the end? The next day, Mica put on a shirt with a high cor, which could cover most of the marks on her neck. She sat in the car, ncing at Carlos. "I still have to cover my neck with so much heat, luckily the office has air conditioning..." -Then go to my office to work," Carlos said. -No, I can''t like this! -Mica refused. So he had to send her to Nubcancion and returned to thepany. Diego was already waiting in Carlos'' office. Since Mr. Aguayo had also gone to live in Barrio Fann, he felt he had much less to do, and he still felt a little ufortable because he no longer had to act as a driver. Seeing Carlos push open the door, Diego greeted him: -Mr. Aguayo, I have investigated clearly. Miss Carballo and Miss Noboa have never met in the past, except for that time in the cafeteria. Carlos stood in front of the window, looking at the blue sky outside, and frowned: -Give me her phone number. -Yes. Carlos'' phone rang quickly. He pulled it out and dialed it right away, right on the number. The call was quickly answered: -Hello? -Hello, this is Carlos. Katarina was so surprised that her phone almost fell to the floor, and only after a long time made a sound to confirm it: -Mica''s boyfriend? -Yes. Are you sure you''ve smelled Mica''s scent before? Carlos asked directly what he wanted to know. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -Mr. Aguayo, don''t doubt the perfumer''s sense of smell. Besides, people remember smells better than anything else. You may not be able to describe it, but when you smell it again, you''ll be incredibly sure you smelled it before. "Yes, that''s it!" Carlos affirmed in his heart what Katarina had said. He was sure that the smell on Mica''s body, he must have smelled it before! That was what made it so familiar! -Okay, thanks," Carlos hung up the phone. Katarina was puzzled. "What was wrong with him?" Diego was also looking at Carlos with a puzzled look on his face. "Haven''t you stopped investigating Miss Noboa already, what''s wrong now?" -Diego, find out on what asions Miss Carballo and I, we have met. Diego was even more lost. -The encounters between you and her are all at banquets, but basically you don''t even show up. Carlos rarely showed up at banquets, and even if there was an encounter, there was little chance of meeting. -Well, list which banquets, when, and how many times. Carlos returned to his desk and sat down. That idea might be too absurd, but he still wanted to go and confirm it? Although he did not understand it, Diego kept answering: -All right, Mr. Aguayo. By the way, the motion to cooperate with Mangzarent Nation has been agreed upon and he epted all the conditions we offered him. He is very sincere in wanting to cooperate with us. Diego admired Carlos, who despite his youth was always resolute and resourceful in the business world, which aroused the great admiration of his predecessors. Carlos read the folder and suddenly said: -The signing of the contract, dy it a little. I will go to Mangzarent Nation personally. Diego was surprised. He hadn''t been going anywheretely and all his business trips he dyed if he could, but let Tomas go if he couldn''t. Why did he have to go in person for this contract? Could it be that it was also for Miss Noboa? *** The next few days, Mica was busy with design drawings. Since it was a four-piece set, it took longer. The design was finallypleted by the end of the month. Kiki couldn''t stop nodding with the design. -Mica, well done! Your leaving is a loss for Nubcancion! -Kiki, you''re overreacting! -Mica blushed slightly. At this moment Kiki''s phone rang, so she answered, hung up, and said to Mica again: -Your noncent attitude is what I admire the most. Well, I''m off to a meeting and you can get in touch with Miss Carballo to see about the design. ok? Mica nodded, and Kiki left. As soon as Mica left, Ana rushed over and grabbed her design with a bright look: -Mica, when I get married, design a set of essories for me too, okay? -Ana, you are also the designer. Ana put down the design and said seriously: -Every time I look at your designs, I am always surprised. I''m not as good as you. Mica flipped through the folder and found Katarina''s contact information, while saying to Ana: -Everyone has a different design style, and your clients are also happy with your designs. So, have faith in yourself, okay? Ana immediately looked at Mica gratefully. Upon receiving the call, Mica and Katarina made an appointment for half an hourter at the previous coffee shop. -Ana, I have an appointment with Miss Carballo. If I''m not back by the end of the day, talk to Kiki for me. Ana nodded and Mica set off. This time it was still Mica who was early. Since the seat she had before was already taken, she had to find a window seat and sit down. Only just as she sat down, she heard an annoying voice. -Mica? Ivanna and the woman next to her looked at each other. -Amelia, what bad luck! When Mica saw the woman. "Is it Miss Athens who had appeared at Mr. Campos'' banquet?" She looked a little thinner, and her makeup couldn''t hide her slightly pale face. At this moment, her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Mica. Mica was a little confused. "Why are you looking at me with hatred?" -Mica, do you know who you reced as the finalst time in Garzanca? Ivanna looked at Amelia, as if she was ready to see a show. Miss Athens?" "You mean Amelia in front of me?" -Mica, yes? -Amelia spoke suddenly-, You are also the one about to sign with Brinte, there are a lot of people here, let''s go to the private room together. Chapter 146 : ArenT You The One Who Should Be Thanking Me? Chapter 146 : Aren''T You The One Who Should Be Thanking Me? Chapter 146 : Aren''t you the one who should be thanking me? Saying this, Amelia pushed the door of the private room with a provocative look. Seeing that Mica did not move, she asked: -Don''t you dare? Mica reflected a little, picked up the things on the table and approached. As she passed by Amelia, Amelia smelled the faint fragrance of Mica''s body, sensing that she had smelled it somewhere before, and an uneasy feeling arose in her heart. "I''ve already secretly checked, but I haven''t met her before!" Mica sat down. This was a small, but prettily decorated private room, with the rectangr table and the soft sofa. And then she sent Katarina a location to inform her that she had arrived. Ivanna and Amelia also came in and sat across from Mica. -How about wearing a custom-made dress that she paid a lot of money for, acting in her Amelia''s ce and being popr? -Ivanna said deliberately. -I think it''s very nice. -You! -Ivanna was furious, "You are a thief and you stole Amelia''s honor! Mica snorted coldly. -Are youining about your friend''s misfortune? Ivanna paused, thinking there was nothing wrong with what she had said. Even though she hated All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Amelia, they had amon enemy, so they could call each other friends. -Of course! -Well... -Mica nodded with a look of understanding, "I misunderstood you. I thought you were using me because I had stolen your thunder at your debut. After all, if there hadn''t been a final, you would certainly have been the center of attention on the catwalk. Ivanna was a bit speechless, and Mica suddenly turned her words around: -But you can''t me me. With such a beautiful dress, anyone who makes the finale is going to impress. Ivanna immediately remembered that Amelia had hidden herself to be the final. She couldn''t help but look at her angrily. Mica looked at the two in front of her. "Obviously, that day, none of the other models knew there was a final because, most likely, it was designed by Miss Athens." "She takes advantage of all the models to highlight her in the final. But the n backfired and I was left wanting. I guess Ivanna really hates Amelia, doesn''t she?" After thinking clearly, Mica continued: -But, speaking of that, Ivanna, I have you to thank! -What? Ivanna looked puzzled, and Amelia had already turned her gaze towards her, as if she was also wondering. -Have you forgotten? If I hadn''te to deliver your shoes, I wouldn''t have gone to Garzanca, and nothing would have happened, would it? So, in retrospect, she herself had caused all this? Now Amelia was ring at Ivanna. Because of this, she had been respectful in front of Ivanna for a long time, but it turned out that the ultimate reason was the same! Ivanna also remembered carefully, and indeed, what she said made sense. Amelia could not argue with her, so she had to look at Mica, and said: -You put on my clothes and took the glory that should have belonged to me, don''t you have anything to say? At least he did not say that he had stolen it, and Mica asked in her turn: -Do you want me to thank you? -That''s not enough! -Are you not the one who should be thanking me? -Why? -Because without me, that program would have been a chaos and Brinte would have been discredited, and it would be because of you," she was looking at Amelia. If I hadn''t taken your ce, would you still be sitting here drinking coffee? Mr. Eric would have been furious that day. Yes, and even all of Brinte''s top brass knew that she, Amelia, was going to make it to the finals. But they didn''t go to her, because the show was a sess. They both fell silent at the same time.... Katarina, who was standing outside the door, really couldn''t help butugh. "Mica was so smart!" She wanted to get involved too, so she pushed open the door and walked in: -Good afternoon everyone. I invited Mica toe, why is she sitting with them? Amelia and Ivanna turned around and saw that the person entering was Katarina. The two couldn''t help but stand up politely. "Why do they have an appointment?" Ivanna nced at the folder ced in front of Mica and had an answer in her heart. Familia Carballo was a powerful family in Tdia, so who wouldn''t want to please her? -Katarina, it''s been a long time! Congrattions on your uing marriage! Mica was about to get up as well, but Katarina gestured to her and sat down next to her, greeting them with a smile: -Thank you! Let''s all sit down and chat. Looking at the empty table, she asked. -Why didn''t you order anything? Are you waiting for me? Katarina said and pressed the button to call a waiter. -We were about to call the waiter, too! -Amelia exined. In fact, they had already had their coffee and when they were about to leave, they bumped into Mica and went back inside. As Katarina said so, they had to follow him and have another cup of coffee together. The waiter didn''t take long to arrive. Katarina flipped through the menu, ordered the most expensive cup of coffee and a few sandwiches and then told Mica to order the same before handing the menu to Ivanna: -Geisha is the best coffee. Every time Ie here, I have to order it and you should try it, I''m sure you''ll be addicted like me! Those two people looked at the price and raised their eyebrows. But Katarina rmended it, so they ordered the same. The waiter smiled and walked away. "They''re all beauties!" -What were you talking about? I just heard Garzanca, was it about thest parade? Chapter 147 : Your True Purpose Is Mr. Aguayo Chapter 147 : Your True Purpose Is Mr. Aguayo Chapter 147 : Your True Purpose is Mr. Aguayo Katarina seemed very excited and said: -The model in the finale looked beautiful in the dress designed by James! I also wanted him to design for me, but he was never avable. Amelia was very jealous. If it hadn''t been for the surgery that day, I wouldn''t have missed such a good opportunity! The waiter came in, so Amelia had to stifle what she wanted to say and looked at the desserts and coffee on the table. Katarina quietly took Mica''s hand from under the table: -I wanted to ask youst time, but I didn''t have time to say it quickly. In fact, you were the final one, yes? You couldn''t hear her intention from her tone or who she was favoring. While Mica was still pondering, Ivanna already ranked Katarina in her camp. -Yes, that''s her! But, Mica is not a good person, taking someone else''s ce. Katarina held her chin with one hand, looking at the two sitting opposite each other with a stunned look, while the hand holding Mica tensed. Mica understood that it was a sign for her not to rush, so Mica didn''t say anything either. Katarina frowned and asked rhetorically: -Is it true? I haven''t heard about this. Seeing this attitude of hers, the two were instantly certain that Katarina was on their side: -YES! She stole from me the honor that should have been mine, and now Brinte is going to book her but I have nothing? Ivanna gloated and thought. "That''s what you get for lying to me!" -Amelia''s loss is certainly very great, so what do you think Mica should do? Amelia felt hope and hastened to say the conclusion after arguing with Ivanna. -The grand finale that day should have been me. She was wearing a mask and no real report about her appeared on the Inte, so we held a press conference to announce to the world that I was the final. When Katarina heard this, she felt joy because she hade up with a good idea and looked at All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mica. Amelia watched Katarina''s reaction, stood up happily, and asked excitedly: -Katarina, can you talk to the president of Brinte...? In fact, Amelia and Katarina were not very close, but seeing that she seemed to agree with her, Amelia immediately called her name. Familia Carballo had a good rtionship with Brinte, if she could get Katarina to help her, she would not worry about getting that glori... back. Katarina picked up her coffee, took a sip, looked at Amelia and asked: -Are you sure that if it was you on stage that day, the effect would be better? -Of course! I am also a Brinte model, looking forward to the debut at Garzanca that day! When Ivanna heard this theme again, she still felt particrly ufortable in her heart. Athens Family was sponsoring a lot, but at that moment, Amelia clearly said that she was waiting for the next round to debut, without thinking that it was secretly arranged to debut the same day as her, and even the final! -Besides, that dress, as you can see, is really beautiful. I tried it on countless times and I really dreamed of wearing that dress to the show, but, my dream was broken just like that..... Amelia said, red-eyed, and prepared to take out tissues. When she heard Katarina''s next words, her movements stopped. -Whoever was most impressive on the catwalk that day would be the new endorser of Grupo Aguayo. This insider information was something that only Grupo Atenas had found out in secret, so you try with all your might to stand out. Oh my God! Ivanna and Mica looked at Katarina in surprise. -You mean Grupo Aguayo, the head of the three great families of Tdia? Ivanna asked with some disbelief, and this was also what Mica wanted to ask. From Tdia to Andana, which business group did not want to get involved with Grupo Aguayo? Grupo Atenas, originally a small and unknown group in Tdia, became a powerful group in Tdia after receiving support from Grupo Aguayo, making everyone jealous! Therefore, participating in Grupo Aguayo is the most expected thing for all Tdiapanies. -That''s right, Carlos, the president of Grupo Aguayo, and Hector Sarmiento, the president of Brinte, my cousin, had signed an agreement when the nning of the Garzanca runway began. The winner that day would be the spokesperson for Grupo Aguayo''s new September products. -Amelia, you have worked hard and bribed a lot of people to make the final stand out, right? -Not only you, but also Miss Elvira put a lot of effort for that catwalk. The first ce was hers, she just didn''t foresee that there would be a final. Ivanna, you are so innocent! Ivanna can''t believe it! Even Adriana lied to her! At first she was grateful for the publicity opportunities she had been given, but it turned out that what she had lost was the chance to work with Grupo Aguayo! -Actually, your real purpose is Mr. Aguayo, isn''t it? Mica looked at Amelia with surprise. Yes, she knew at Mr. Campos'' banquet that she was in love with Carlos. -We don''t know why Mr. Aguayo supports Grupo Atenas. You are trying to take advantage of this catwalk to stand out and cooperate with Grupo Aguayo, so you can go back to Grupo Aguayo, hoping that Mr. Aguayo might want you. "Back to Grupo Aguayo?" Mica mulled over the words.... -That''s enough! -Amelia shouted. "What''s wrong with me liking him? I''m the most special person to him, why can''t I be near him?" Thinking about her terrified look from Carlos made her think she shouldn''t speak. Chapter 148 : This Is The Design I Want Chapter 148 : This Is The Design I Want Chapter 148 : This Is the Design I Want However, Katarina gave a sudden twist to her words: -But, I can help you! Amelia immediately looked at Katarina in disbelief. -Why... -It''s normal for you to like Mr. Aguayo. Hector is my cousin, and I also hope that yourpany will develop. If you are certain that you can achieve a higher level of heat, I can help you try.... Amelia''s mood was like a roller coaster. Nothing was as important now as regaining that glory! -Of course it was! Amelia said decisively, and even threw a white re at Mica. Mica looked at Katarina with aplicated expression, not knowing why she did it..... -Well, wait for my warning," she let go of Mica''s hand and said, "Now let''s get down to business, aren''t you asking me to look at the design? Mica opened the folder and put it in front of Katarina. Katarina began to read very carefully.... -The jewelry set is called "Love and Snow", because you love snow and your meeting with him is on a snowy day. As for the materials, we will use white gold and D-grade diamonds of the highest colorless value to signify the purity of your love. Her Mica''s voice was soft and clear. Katarina found that, apart from the pair of earrings, the ne and ring, shaped like diamonds are not duplicated. Although they are the shape of snowkes, they all have subtle differences? -Snowkese in many shapes and are very beautiful. If you put each snowke under a magnifying ss, you may find that each one is an extremely exquisite pattern. I have consulted many materials and neutralized them to design this set, I hope you like it and I can modify it if you are not satisfied with something! -I like it too much! All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Katarina was so excited she was about to cry, hugging the drawing: -Mica, this is the design I want, I love it! I''m so excited! Then she paid the remaining bnce to Nubcancion''s ount. And she gave Mica a firm kiss on the cheek! The two people sitting across from her also craned their necks to look at her design. Ivanna was so jealous. "It turns out the real design is like this..." Amelia is also amazed, admiring Mica''s talent. "Whye to the modeling world, without staying in the design industry..." When she thought of Carlos holding Mica''s hand at the banquet, Amelia denied the idea she had just had. No matter what sector Mica was in, they would meet.... -This design is too pretty, Katarina, it''s perfect for you! Although Amelia hated Mica, as just now Katarina said she would help her, she had the conscience to appreciate the opportunity and tter her. Ivanna couldn''t help but look at them enviously either. Women were naturally irresistible to beautiful jewelry. Katarina looked at Mica and said sincerely: -Mica, you really are too talented. No one can resist such a design. I suppose Nubcancion is sad about your resignation? Mica blushed slightly: -You''re overreacting. Thank you also for the creative inspiration you''ve given me. -By the way, you muste when I get married! -I can''t even make enough profit with this order to pay you for a red packet, can I? -Mica joked. -You''re my guest of honor! You don''t have to give me the red packet. Mica flipped the folder to thest page: -Use this to make up for the red packet. Katarina looked down in surprise. It was a man''s ring, simple and generous, and you could see the inner ring, engraved with the names of her and Antonio.... -This is an extra and free design for you! Katarina liked it so much that she nodded and, as soon as she closed the folder, stood up: -Come on! I have to hurry Kiki to deliver the finished product as soon as possible! -Then she said goodbye to the other two: "We''ll meet next time! Amelia, wait for my call! Then she left with Mica. The two remaining people looked at each other. Who would pay the bill? *** -Katarina, are you really going to look for Kiki? Katarina gave a mischievous smile: -Hahaha, I just don''t want to stay with them. -About the catwalk you just mentioned, do you have any ns? -Yes, but keep it a secret! Don''t worry, Mica, the model who will work with Grupo Aguayo will still be you! Katarina had no doubt about it. In reality, Mica wasn''t interested in the cooperation with Grupo Aguayo. What mattered to her was, Carlos. -Mica, you have decided to join Brinte, right? -Yes. -That day, I discovered that both Adriana and Ivanna saw you as an enemy, and now there is another one, Amelia, could you handle her? -Were you at Garzanca that day? -I was the special guest, sitting in the most prominent judge''s seat. You really didn''t see me? Mica was immediately contrite. -That day, when you suddenly arrived as the final, the two of them were strongly against you. After the show, the manager told me. You may have a hard time in Brinte in the future, but, once you get to the top, no one dares to do anything to you! -Last time you said you didn''t like Adriana, why? Chapter 149 : The Loved One Never Worries. Chapter 149 : The Loved One Never Worries. Chapter 149 : The loved one never worries. -Hahaha, except for the fans who don''t know the truth, everyone doesn''t like her. It''s a pity that Marcos doesn''t deserve you. If we could be sisters-inw, it would be nice! Mica remembered Carlos, because she used to fantasize about marrying Marcos before, he was all jealous and angry. She couldn''t help but smile.... Katarina looked at her smile and asked: -Do you remember your boyfriend? Mica nodded without dissimtion. -Mica, he looks very happy..... "Is that so?" "So this feeling is happiness, haha, I experienced it for the first time..." -Maybe soon I will have to attend your wedding. Katarina said, looking at Mica with a slightly red face. "Nowadays, it''s rare to see such a simple girl. She is so special, when faced with people who have malicious intentions towards her, she is calm;" "In the face of others'' appreciation, she is not arrogant. No wonder she can get Mr. Aguayo''s love." Katarina liked Mica very much and, after looking at the time, she said: -Mica, I am going to apany you to thepany. However, Mica blushed even more and hesitantly refused: -There is no need... Katarina remembered that here she was not far from Grupo Aguayo. She looked like she was ready to see her boyfriend. -I know. Then I''ll take you to Grupo Aguayo. Then Mica got into her white Porsche with her. On the way, Katarina did not hide her good feelings towards Mica and did not stop chatting with her: -Mica, how well do you know Amelia? Mica shook her head, not knowing what the question was about: -We have only met once, at Mr. Campos'' banquet. Katarina nodded, reflecting on the next topic: -She has been in love with Mr. Aguayo for a long time. You must have heard about it, right? -On the day of the banquet, I heard people say so, and I also heard that Grupo Atenas was supported by Carlos. -Well, it''s not even a secret. It''s just that everybody discusses it privately, and two years ago, she was going to Grupo Aguayo every day to see him, and finally she stopped doing it only after she was banned Mr. Aguayo. Unexpectedly, she had started again. I have to say, she still has a good approach this time, taking Grupo Aguayo''s endorsement, she can get in.... Mica listened attentively and made noment. Katarina looked at Mica and asked with some curiosity: -A woman wants your boyfriend, you have no idea? Mica also looked at Katarina and said seriously: -That time at the banquet, I saw how Carlos treated her, so I''m not worried about it -she still believed in Carlos and continued saying. What worries me is that Miss Athens should not create hate for love. She thought about the banquet, that her father had not finished his next words. He wanted to ask Katarina, but he let it go. If it was necessary, Carlos would definitely talk to her. -Yes, the loved one never worries. As for Amelia, she''s so obsessed that sooner orter she''ll suffer. Mica bit her lip and did not speak. Fate was not long ining. Katarina pulled over to the side of the road and the two said goodbye. Mica entered Grupo Aguayo. At this time of day, there wasn''t much walking in the lobby. This time, she walked hesitantly toward the elevator that Diego had taken her tost time, and just as she reached out her hand, she was stopped by the security guard. -Miss, which apartment are you in? Don''t you know this is Mr. Aguayo''s personal elevator? No one else is allowed to take it, especially women! -Sorry. Mica withdrew her hand with some surprise and took a step back, thinking that this person was really dominant, and even discriminated against women.... While she was thinking, she saw someoneing down the elevator.... "Since it''s your exclusive elevator, would it be Carlos?" I can''t help but be a little excited and nervous as I stand to the side, wanting to give Carlos a surprise. "Maybe it''s Diego?" "Or maybe he''s going straight to the subway parking garage?" And suddenly, the door opened. Mica took a step forward, but when she saw the person inside, she lost it. Out stepped a wonderful woman, dressed in an elegant pink suit and with long hair. The woman was also stunned to see Mica standing in the elevator door. "She is so beautiful, is she a new employee?" She said to Mica with a polite smile: -You can''t take this elevator. -Okay... thank you... Mica unconsciously took a step back and headed for the next elevator. That woman smiled at Mica and then left. Mica looked at her back. "The security guard has been so respectful to her..." "Isn''t the elevator exclusive to Carlos, especially women can''t take in it?" "Why did this woman...?" Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. That security guard noticed Mica''s confusion, so he stepped forward and proudly exined: -This is Bianca Davalos, the daughter of the Davalos family, one of the three big families. I guess she must be with Mr. Aguayo. Mica bit her lip and asked: -Well, sir, don''t be angry. I''m just curious, how do you know all this? He looked around. The receptionistdy was minding her own business and not paying attention to this side, only then she whispered: As a security guard, I am here every day and I love to gossip when I am bored. Mr. Aguayo, as the head of the three main families, is still a bachelor, so naturally, there are manydies from powerful families who want him. And Miss Bianca is the only one who can take this stalker. And Miss Bianca is the only person who can take this elevator who matches with Mr. Aguayo. Chapter 150 : You Will Always Be Welcome In Nubcancion Chapter 150 : You Will Always Be Wee In Nubcancion Chapter 150 : you will always be wee in Nubcancion Mica shook her head, not allowing herself to think about this. -It''s a pity that I''ve been working as a security guard here for so many years and I''ve never seen Mr. Aguayo''s true face..... He spoke with great enthusiasm, but Mica headed for the door, ignoring his curious question.... She still couldn''t help but think about what was going on today. Both Amelia and Bianca, loved Carlos, and one is from Familia Atenas that Carlos supported, and the other is the Davalos Family, one of the three great families.... The faster Mica walks, trying to dismiss the thoughts in her head. And at this moment, the phone in her purse rang and Mica stopped, wishing it was Carlos. She pulled out the phone and saw it was Kiki: -Hello, Kiki. -Mica, Miss Carballo''s final payment has arrived. Congrattions on the sessfulpletion of your order! Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. -Thank you... -There''s something I want to talk to you about, can youe back to the office now? -Okay. Hanging up the phone, Mica returned to Nubcancion by cab. *** Carlos put the pen in his hand, picked up his phone, looked at Mica''s smiling face on the screen, and thought she must be in Nubcancion. But she was close to her ownpany! After locating the ce again, she was at thepany! Carlos stood up abruptly. "You wanted to surprise me?" "Well, I like this surprise. Lately she was busy with her design, not paying much attention to me." He stood in front of the window for a while, but she still hadn''te in, so he frowned and turned on his phone to reach her. "What happened, was she in the building a moment ago and then she left?" Carlos went to the door, opened it, and saw Diego sitting at his own table, where there was soup. When he saw Carlos, Diego hurriedly got up and hurried to exin: -Miss Bianca came. I still told her you had a meeting, so she waited two hours and left. Even Diego was very impressed by her feelings for Carlos. Every time she came she was quiet, bringing soup or handmade sandwiches. However, Carlos hardly ever saw her, unless it happened, he would let her into the office, but rarelymunicated. Despite that, she cherished those moments. Many men liked her, but she only liked Carlos. If it weren''t for Mica''s appearance, Diego would have to wonder if Carlos'' heart was made of stone? -Did she just leave? Diego was a little surprised... In the past, he wouldn''t have minded that.... -Yes, he took your exclusive elevator down. -Who told him to take that elevator! Diego paused, thinking he had forgotten, and exined: -It was former president who exined it! He knew you were allergic to perfume, so he never sprayed. Carlos thought of something and turned back to his office, calling Mica, but indicated he was on the line. "Did you meet Bianca?" Carlos hung up his phone and opened thepany''s internal monitoring, quickly rewinding backwards.... Diego was sorting through the information when the internal line to his desk rang, he picked it up: -Mr. Aguayo. Carlos'' voice was cold: -Fire the security guard at the door! Then he hung up the phone. Diego was puzzled. "What did you do to provoke him?" But he didn''t question it, ordered the HR department to deal with it, and looked at the thermos bucket on the table. "A soup full of love, who am I going to give it to today?" Then she headed for the outer assistant office.... Mica went to Kiki''s office. -Mica, not only Mrs. Nunez didn''t approve your resignation, but she is going to appoint you manager of the first department.... -What... Mica was a little surprised. As she was about to say, the phone rang again and she saw it was Carlos. She hung up the phone, to call him backter. -Kiki, my probation period hasn''t even expired and I haven''t signed a contract yet, there''s no reason why I shouldn''t be allowed to quit..... I couldn''t quit the job either, but I had promised Eric I would sign the contract.... -I''m kidding. -You want to quit so badly? -No, Kiki... Kiki patted Mica''s shoulder and told her to calm down a bit. -I know. At today''s meeting, he decided to appoint you director of the first department, but I told him that you must resign and change careers. Mrs. Nunez could only respect your decision, and especially exined to me that the whole department would give you a farewell party in the evening. Besides, she also said, if you still want to return to the design industry in the future, you are always wee at Nubcancion! Mica was relieved and touched at the same time.... -It''s almost time, let''s go," Kiki smiled and said. And everyone in the apartment was overjoyed to know that they could go out to eat and y in the evening. On the way to Hotel Oasis, there was the group of people, with Mica being cornered in the middle. She wanted to find an excuse to go somewhere quieter to call Carlos, but the crowd suddenly quieted down and stopped.... "What''s going on?" In front of thepany was parked a luxury car that looked familiar, and the person who got out was precisely Carlos. Chapter 151 : Am I Not Good Enough To Go? Chapter 151 : Am I Not Good Enough To Go? Chapter 151 : Am I not good enough to go? Carlos was wearing a ck business shirt, no tie, and ck cks, with a slim and slender figure; He looked so handsome with such charming eyes; The most striking thing was his noble aura, which made it very evident that he had an extraordinary identity... Carlos saw Mica in the crowd at a nce, and as soon as their eyes met, Mica unconsciously walked towards him.... Carlos looked at her without blinking, as if he could not see anything around him.... Ana and Kiki reacted that it was Mica''s boyfriend. The two hurried to leave the crowd to continue towards the hotel, so as not to disturb them. They walked while talking: -Hey, Mica''s boyfriend is so handsome! -Yes, he''s even more handsome than I saw him in the video! -What a nice couple! ... Although he seemed calm and serene, she perceived a hint of nervousness in his eyes: -Carlos, what''s wrong? I just wanted to call you... With a single force, he embraced her in his arms, caressing her head and whispering in her ear: -What did you want to tell me? Mica was a little disconcerted by his reaction. Although the colleagues had already left, they were in public. -Let me go first. -No. Said Carlos in a domineering way, and his arm tightened even a few points. Pushing him hard would make him lose face, so he could only exin: -I meant don''te to pick me up? -Why? -Because the department is giving me a farewell party tonight. -Why didn''t you answer my call? -I was in Kiki''s office, and I thought I''d call you when I got out. Carlos breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her a little, but continued to hold her in his arms. -Why didn''t youe upstairs when you came to mypany? Mica looked into Carlos'' eyes, not knowing how to exin. She had heard the security guard''s words before he wanted to leave. -Do you trust me? Mica nodded without hesitation. -Carlos, if... ? -Yes, I thought you had listened to that damned security guard and were going to leave me again for those inexplicable reasons. Even someone as powerful as him would be annoyed by such a trivial matter, and even chased after her immediately. Mica felt touched and sad at the same time: -I''m sorry. Carlos released her, with one hand he stroked the top of her head rubbing it:. -Bianca can take my exclusive elevator, which was allowed by my grandfather. Today she came she N?velDrama.Org is the owner. didn''t know or see it. Mica looked at Carlos with surprise. Carlos actually treated her like this... -She is so pitiful..... -You''re taking care of the wrong person..... Mica bit her lips, looked at her colleagues who had moved away and said: -I''m going to the party. -Can''t I participate? Mica looked at Carlos in surprise: -Are you going to apany me? -Am I not good enough to go? Mica was quick to shake her head. -How is that possible. I''m just worried that you won''t be able to eat in front of my colleagues'' stares..... Carlos took her hand and headed for the car: -I''m really hungry now. *** In the same private room of Hotel Oasis. Thest few times everyone was having fun, toasting and talking about all kinds of topics. But this time, if it weren''t for the waiters serving the food one after the other, you would think that a meeting was taking ce in this private room. The crowd ate in silence, not daring to make a sound, simply because, in today''s private room, sat a man with a powerful aura. Everyone wanted to strike up a conversation with Carlos, but they were a bit dismissive and looked at him. Carlos nced at the crowd, and everyone immediately lowered their heads. However, he was just taking care of Mica as usual.... Everyone present was very envious. "This man is so handsome even peeling prawns!" "Mica, are we here to give you a stomping or to witness your love...?" ... They were all very excited inside. Naturally, Mica noticed the difference in the atmosphere, but she really didn''t know what to say. She just wanted to finish dinner and take it home.... At this point, Kiki, as her boss, was the first to break the silence. Because thisst dinner would have been over if something hadn''t been said: -Mica, here''s to you..... Out of politeness, Mica hurried to get up, but Carlos gestured for her to sit down, then, he stood up with a wine. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Kiki hadn''t finished her sentence, and when she saw Carlos gesture for her to continue, she hurried on.

First of all, congrattions on the sessfulpletion of Miss Carballo''s order, then, thank you very much for your dedication to thepany, andstly, I wish you the best in your new job! -Thank you, Mica is not a good drinker, so I will drink on her behalf. So, Carlos raised his ss and Kiki did too. As the two were about to drink, a colleague interrupted them: -You are Mica''s boyfriend, and you are a couple, so you should toast together. Mica can use drinks instead. Let''s toast. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Only then did the audience burst outughing. And the atmosphere instantly lightened. It made sense to Carlos. He gestured to the waiter, who immediately came over and filled Mica''s drink. Mica stood up hurriedly, with her ss, blushed and said in a low voice: -Thank you... After drinking, the four of them sat down. And Ana stood up with her ss and looked at Mica and Carlos: -Cheers! Mica, even if you leave Nubcancion, we will always be good friends, you can''t forget me! They both stood up again, and Mica was moved to say: -Cheers, Ana, I won''t forget you. Ana looked at Carlos and plucked up the courage to say: -Be good to her! Or I won''t let you go! -Of course! Everyone was very excited toe and make a toast and Carlos. The room suddenly perked up..... -Turns out Mica''s boyfriend is pretty good to get along with! -Yes, Mica, you are really happy! -Mica, you have to invite me to your wedding! ... Mica didn''t know how to answer with a flushed face, but Carlos smiled: -Definitely! When Kiki saw that everyone had finished eating, she announced: -All right: -All right, let''s sing! -Come on! -Let''s go! ... When Mica was about to say no, one of her ssmates shouted: -Mica, today is a party for you, let''s go! -Yes, let''s go together. Mica looked at Carlos with some difficulty, but he had already taken the bag and told her softly: -Let''s go. He knew that she was definitely eager to participate. -Hey, I''m so envious! -How affectionate! The audience was excited again. Kiki walked to the end of the line and headed for the bill when the receptionist said: -Your box has been paid for. Kiki looked in surprise at Carlos who was heading for the door with Mica. It was him... They were all singing beautifully. When Mica came out of the bathroom, she saw Carlos sitting on the couch, in such a noisy environment, he looked very special. She sat down next to Carlos, and he naturally took her hand, tenderly. He saw on the surveince, his encounter with Bianca, and what the security guard told him, made Carlos'' heart feel uneasy. So he called her, but she hung up. That''s why he didn''t hesitate to approach her. He didn''t want her to misunderstand anything, nor did he want them to be separated again Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. because of these insignificant things.... -Are you going to be ufortable? -asked Mica. Carlos suddenly came closer and whispered in her ear: -I just requested a song for you. -What? -Mica was a little surprised. She didn''t even sing. Did he want to sing? While she was thinking, Ana was already shouting: -Who asked for the next song? Then, amidst the surprised stares of the crowd, Carlos picked up the microphone and handed it to Mica. "How did you realize that I knew this song?" Everyone in attendance sat on the couch with a look of anticipation. The light melody yed and Carlos looked at her, gesturing for her to read the lyrics. Mica silently followed the rhythm in her mind, then opened her mouth: She sang in a light, mischievous way. The next verse was sung by the men, and the crowd waited with more anticipation for Carlos to open his mouth. Carlos didn''t look at the screen, but just looked at Mica and opened his mouth easily to the beat. The next verse was for man, and the crowd waited with more anticipation. Carlos looked at Mica instead of the screen and sang with ease following the rhythm. and his voice was very attractive. Thest part, which was his favorite. Since he had never sung it and was afraid of forgetting the lyrics, he looked at the screen and sang. They were so in tune that no one knew it was their first time. The second half of the song was all female solos, and Mica sang with such seriousness that she didn''t notice that Carlos kept looking at her.... When the song ended, the audience asked for something else to be sung: -Sing another song! -They sing very well! They both sat down. And Mica didn''t want to continue singing, her face flushed. Ana sat next to her and said with an envious look: -Mica, your boyfriend is so perfect, so handsome, so considerate, and he can sing! Chapter 153 : Everyone Was Completely Stupefied! Chapter 153 : Everyone Was Completely Stupefied! Chapter 153 : Everyone waspletely stupefied! Hearing this, everyone around them eximed unanimously: -That''s it! These songs are too melodious and cute! -Wow, it gives us a lot of pressure! Mica made a face flushed with shyness when she heard the people''s words and approached Carlos asking: -How do you know I can sing this song? -I heard you humming it in the kitchenst time," Carlos answered looking her in the eyes. Mica was a little surprised. She had only hummed in a very low voice, she didn''t expect this man to hear it. -Well, do you like this song? -asked Mica tentatively. -Yes, I like anything you like. Hearing the man''s answer, Mica felt very embarrassed and looked away. Carlos rarely listened to music, let alone popr music, but he was impressed and attracted when he heard Mica''s humming. It seemed that it was Mica who had awakened his interest in this song and he gradually learned to sing this melody after hearing it how many times during Mica''s absence. *** Suddenly, a person in the crowd suggested loudly: -Let''s y Truth or Dare, is that okay with you guys? Everyone present agreed with his proposal upon hearing it. Mica was a little curious because she had never participated in this type of game before. Then a ssmate pushed the snacks on the table aside and put an empty bottle in the middle. -Mica, you turn the bottle first! All participants have to obey the rules strictly, huh? -Ana said excitedly and took Mica by the hand to start spinning the bottle. However, the next moment, Ana was stunned on the spot because the neck of the bottle pointed right at herself after a few turns. Everyone was very excited to see such a result! -Ana, you have to strictly obey the rules, huh? Ha ha ha ha! -Truth or dare? Ana showed an incredible face because she really didn''t expect to be so "lucky" to be the first one to choose truth or dare. Looking at her gossipy colleagues, Ana didn''t want to reveal any of her secrets to them and finally chose the dare by plucking up her courage! -What do you say we let Ana introduce herself in the room next to us? -Suddenly a colleague said aloud. -Ha, ha, ha, ha, I think it''s a very good idea. -Ana,e on,e on! Don''t bete, eh? Under these circumstances, Ana had no choice but to let herself be pushed into the next room by some colleagues. Shortly afterwards she returned with a face as flushed as a tomato and the colleagues behind her did not stopughing loudly. -Ha, ha, ha, ha, all the people in that room were stunned to hear the sudden introduction of our Ana. -My God, I almost diedughing, this game is so much fun! Let''s start the next round! Looking at her colleagues so cheerful and immersed in the game, Mica seemed that it was quite an interesting and amusing game. At first she had been a bit worried and nervous, but seeing that the bottle had never been pointed at her, she became much more rxed and showed more interest in this activity. Watching her colleagues'' funny reactions to being pointed at by the bottle was very funny to Mica. Some of the secrets they revealed were so embarrassing that Mica was left with a blush on her face and the boldness they chose was very exaggerated and ridiculous.... At that moment, Carlos approached her ear and whispered: -Honey, don''t gloat, eh? It''ll be your turn very soon..... When Carlos finished his words, the empty bottle, which was spinning on the table, stopped and the neck of the bottle pointed precisely at Mica. Thetter looked at him angrily and cursing inwardly: "What a doomsayer this guy is!" Seeing that the bottle pointed to her friend, Ana jumped with excitement and shouted with joy: -Mica, atst, you''ve been "lucky"! -Ana, you''ve been waiting for the bottle to point to Mica, haven''t you? -said other ssmates. Ignoring them, Ana asked Mica with a sly smile on her face: -Mica, truth or dare? Pick one, huh? No matter which one Mica chose, it wouldn''t work out for Ana: she might know some secret of Mica''s or she might let her and Carlos do something coy. Mica cast a intive nce at the man. Remembering the challenges her colleagues had made, she really believed she could not ept such exaggerated and embarrassing dares, so she said reluctantly: -I choose the truth! -Very good, Mica! -said Ana, who seemed to have seeded in her n. Then she threw a very private question to Mica: -When was your first time to be intimate with Carlos?! -Wow, Ana, what a question you asked! -Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.... I think it''s a very good question. -For God''s sake, how curious you are, Ana! Everyone present became very boisterous when they heard that Ana had asked such an embarrassing question. In turn, Mica put on a flushed face and quickly nced at Carlos. And she hastened to look away when she saw that the man was looking at her with eyes full of affection. "What a question this Ana has asked! I didn''t get to that step with him! What do I do now? If I told them the truth, would I make a fool of Carlos? No, I can''t tell them the truth." Thinking about this, Mica hastily changed her mind: -I was wrong, I want the challenge! Ana became even more cheerful when she heard that this one selected the challenge and said: -Well kiss your boyfriend in front of all of us! Before Mica could feel ashamed, thepanions around her added more conditions. -Kiss him, mouth to mouth! -You have to kiss him for 3 minutes! -It has to be French kissing. -And you can''t regret it anymore! *** Listening to the excessive requirements of her colleagues, Mica just wanted the earth to swallow her up. Now her face was so flushed it looked like it was about to burn. She looked lost to Carlos, who, however, was staring at her with a soft smile on his face, as if he was waiting for her to take the initiative to kiss him herself.... "My shy darling!" Carlos approached the woman with a jacket in his hand, lifted it up and draped over their heads themselves, creating a small private space that blocked the view of the others. Mica only felt the light suddenly red on her and stood in the small space that had just been created by the man and could only amodate the two of them.... Amidst the gloom, Carlos smiled sweetly at her and slowly kissed tenderly on Mica''s lips. Mica''s pulse quickened as she felt the touch of the man''s soft lips. Immersed in the faint scent of wine in the man''s mouth, she slowly closed her eyes gradually. Watching this scene, everyone was extremely stupefied by Carlos'' act! Of course, no one dared to remove that jacket blocking their view, but everyone knew very well that the All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. two were secretly French kissing! Even a colleague counted down with his wristwatch. -They''ve been kissing for a full three minutes! -thetter shouted out loud after Carlos took off his jacket. Carlos gently took the woman in his arms, who had nice and clear eyes, full of affection and tenderness. How charming and beautiful Mica was now and Carlos didn''t want the others to see how beautiful his wife looked! Coming back to herself, Mica was so embarrassed that she hugged the man around the waist and buried her face deeper into the man''s embrace. If she could, she wouldn''t want to lift her head anymore! It was really embarrassing and daring for Mica to kiss like this in front of so many people. -How romantic! -That''s it. Look how affectionate the two of them are.... -Oh, I''m so envious.... Everyone joked a bit and started the next round. Kiki winked at Mica and shed her a cheerful smile. "Mica, you''ve met the right man, this man treated you like the most valuable treasure in the world!" *** Kiki left the room with the intention of paying the bill first, but the waiter told her that they had paid the bill. She was a little surprised and returned to the room. The meeting didn''t end until eleven o''clock at night. And everyone reluctantly said goodbye to Mica, saying that she should oftene back to Nubcancion when she had free time and that she could not forget the good times they had spent together, even if she became the big star in the future. Ana especially burst into tears. Mica, who was very moved by the words of her colleagues, nodded her head incessantly. Diego parked the car securely, waiting to the side. Thepanions left in twos or threes little by little and in the end only Kiki, Ana and Mica remained. The two of them took Mica by the hand, without wanting to say goodbye, and said to her: -Mica, we have to keep in touch in the future, okay? -Of course! -Mica promised them with teary eyes. Chapter 154 :The Clothes We Are Wearing Are Couple Outfits! Chapter 154 :The Clothes We Are Wearing Are Couple Outfits! Chapter 154 :The clothes we are wearing are couple outfits! Kiki said seriously to Mica: -If you get the urge to work in the design industry again someday in the future, call me first. ok? Mica nodded her head heavily expressing her gratitude. Ana stepped forward and hugged Mica tightly, saying with tear-filled eyes that she didn''t want to part from her.... At this moment, Kiki remembered something and approached Carlos saying: -Mr. Aguayo, thank you very much for your generous attention tonight. I should have paid the bill, after all, it is thepany that has held this farewell party for Mica.... Carlos just gave her a faint smile without saying anything. Soon after, Kiki and Ana also left. Until Mica''s two friends disappeared from sight, Carlos opened the back door and got into the car with her. Inside the car, Mica could no longer contain herself and burst into sad tears as she murmured: -I really don''t want to be separated from them..... Carlos took her in his embrace gently, letting her cry as she wished. "Parting is a normality that we all must learn to get used to. Mica, you have to adjust..." Slowly Mica drifted off, falling asleep in the man''s embrace as she sobbed. Carlos nced at his watch and discovered that it was already half past eleven at night. -Mr. Aguayo, where are we going? -asked Diego as he drove. Carlos covered her with his jacket and said in a t tone: -To the airport. *** Very early the next morning, Mica woke up. She opened her sleepy eyes and the first thing she saw was a window. Based on the dim light filtering through the window, she knew it wasn''t fully dawn. "Did I wake up too early?" So Mica wanted to keep going to bed a little longer, but the next moment, she was very startled! "There''s no window in my bedroom! Where am I?!" Immediately, she sat up in bed and cautiously looked around her.... -Did you have a nightmare? -a low, gritty voice that sounded very familiar to Mica came from behind her back. Mica became much calmer at the sound of the voice and turned around. And Carlos had already lit themp on the wall for her. Instantly the whole room was brightly lit. Mica looked around very surprisingly and discovered that this room she was in was very big, much bigger than her own. The decoration was very luxurious and there was a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, creating a very elegant atmosphere. In addition, the entire wall was covered with very exquisite patterned wall coverings. -Are we in a hotel? -Mica asked confused. She looked at Carlos and noticed that he was dressed in a white bathrobe. She hastily ducked her head, discovered that she herself was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and was instantly a little embarrassed. "Last night, after saying goodbye to Kiki and Ana, I started crying and fell asleep in his embrace. Could it be that he didn''t take me home but to this hotel?" The man stroked her very affectionately on the head, nodded slightly and asked: -Do you want to sleep a little longer? Mica looked towards the window again, shook her head and said with some confusion: -What time is it, isn''t it dawn yet? Carlos didn''t answer her, walked over to the window and lifted the curtainpletely.... Outside the window, the neon lights were shing and they were very pretty. And the hotel must be in a very tall building because from there Mica could vaguely see the shadows of those mountains in the distance. However, this all seemed very unfamiliar to her. Mica was even more puzzled, sitting up in bed. Carlos approached her, gently lifted her chin and exined: -We are now in the Mangzarent Nation. Hearing this, Mica became very excited, immediately jumped out of bed and hurried to the window to see what was outside: Below the hotel, cars were incessantly and bustling back and forth on brightly lit elevated highways. The skyscrapers around them towered spectacrly around her with multicolored lights glowing and all the signs were written in anguage unfamiliar to Mica. All this proved that she was not in a -I''m in another country overnight?! But I don''t even have a Mangzarent Nation visa? -she murmured, thinking that maybe she was dreaming. Looking at her charming appearance, Carlos approached her, hugged her from behind and said in a Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. low and attractive voice: -We have arrived here in my private ne -Are you happy? Mica was a little surprised to hear the man''s words. "Private ne? How luxurious this trip is!" Although she was astonished, out of politeness, Mica drew a smile on his face and nodded her head slightly. Through the reflection of the window, Mica saw that the man, hugging her from behind, put his head on her neck and rubbed cuddly against her neck like a naughty kitten. Mica felt very itchy and burst outughing. Carlos was very happy to hear the woman''s joyfulughter. As long as she was happy, he didn''t care how tired he himself was. Mica had slept on the ne for the entire trip and had rested in the hotel for a long time. However, due to the time difference, when the two arrived, it was daylight in the Mangzarent Nation, so Carlos went non-stop to a business meeting to discuss the details of the contract after amodating her well at the hotel and finished returning to the suite. -Why didn''t you wake me up on the ne? I''ve never taken a ne before," asked Mica. -Aren''t you ashamed to ask me a question like that? Even the loud noise of the ne''s engines couldn''t wake you up! -Carlos joked with her, smiling. Instantly, her face flushed with embarrassment. -Fix yourself up a bit and let''s entertain ourselves," said the man. Mica nodded immediately looking forward to exploring this city well. "Alba is also in the Mangzarent Nation! I don''t know if she lives near the hotel or if she has free time..." -I''ve prepared the new clothes for you," Carlos let go of her and pointed to the sofa with his finger. Mica ran over to the couch, saw a paper bag and grabbed it heading to the bathroom. The decor of the bathroom was so luxurious that it left Mica gasping in awe. "A suite as sumptuous as this must cost a lot." She took a quick shower, brushed her teeth and washed her face thoroughly. Then she pulled the new clothes out of the bag and put them on. Even the underwear fit her very well..... Mica made an even more embarrassed face and quickly pulled out thest skirt and put it on. It was a simple, but very elegant dress, the top of which was light blue, and had a beautiful row of English letters framed around the neckline. This dress came down to Mica''s knees and the design at the waist fit her very well, highlighting her slim figure. Mica looked at herself in the mirror and couldn''t help but smile happily. She really liked this dress. "Carlos, you truly have very good taste in choosing clothes." After gettingpletely dressed up, Mica came out of the bathroom. Seeing that the man had already changed his clothes nicely waiting for her, Mica was impressed on the spot by his beauty. Carlos was dressed in a light blue t-shirt, light gray pants, looking very dynamic and cheerful. "The clothes we are wearing are couple outfits!" Carlos looked up and down at the well-dressed woman in front of him, sketched a sweet smile, stepped forward and kissed her gently on the lips. Then he said to her: -Mica, you look especially beautiful today! Mica lowered her head shyly at hispliment and said casually: -You also look very handsome today. Carlos couldn''t help butugh and lifted her chin flirtatiously asking: -Honey, are youplimenting me? Only then did Mica realize what he had just said and her face became even more flushed with shyness. Carlos didn''t want to joke with her anymore and left the room taking her by the hand. It was a presidential suite. Outside the room, there was a living room, sofa, wine rack, TV, kitchen, among other things. Mica thought she was in afortable home instead of a hotel! In the hallway, there was a red carpet that connected the suite with the elevator. Carlos, taking her by the hand, stepped across the carpet and entered the empty elevator with her. Mica was surprised to see that the elevator was transparent and you could clearly see the neon lights shing outside. And she didn''t realize she was on the 66th floor until she saw the number on the elevator screen! The elevator began to descend with a steady speed as Mica gazed very curiously at the scenery outside. Seeing no one else enter the elevator during the descent process, Mica asked the man with some confusion: -Why doesn''t anyone else take the elevator except the two of us? -Because this is my exclusive elevator," Carlos replied. Chapter 155 : Micaela, Happy Birthday! Chapter 155 : Mica, Happy Birthday! Chapter 155 : Mica, happy birthday! Mica asked him with a very surprised expression: -Your exclusive elevator?! Are you the boss of this hotel? Carlos gently squeezed the hand he was holding and smilingly replied: -No, it is my coborator''s hotel. Actually, Carlos had his own hotels all over the world and the presidential suite on the top floor of these hotels was only for him when he was on business trips. However, this time to show his sincerity to cooperate long-term with Grupo Aguayo, the partner was very insistent that Carlos stay at his hotel. Carlos had no choice but to ept his kindness, but on the condition that they would prepare an elevator exclusively for him. Naturally, the partner agreed without hesitation. Very soon the elevator stopped. When the elevator door opened, Mica saw that there were four strong men in ck suits lined up on both sides. As she saw Carlos step out of the elevator, they greeted him very respectfully. Carlos nodded slightly and continued walking outside, holding her hand. Mica looked behind her with curiosity and discovered that those four men were following them. -Mr. Aguayo, Miss Noboa," sounded a voice that sounded very familiar to Mica. She turned around and saw Diego. -Is everything settled? -asked Carlos. Diego nodded respectfully: -Yes, pleasee with me. Before turning around, Diego took one more look at the two of them and smiled a mysterious smile. "You both look very affectionate in matching outfits. This is the first time I''ve seen Mr. wear such a casual shirt and he seems less stiff and more approachable. Since the appearance of Miss Noboa, Mr. has changed a lot!" With this in mind, Diego began to lead the two. Following Carlos, Mica curiously observed the ce closely and realized that she was not on the second floor. Diego, who was walking in front of everyone, opened a luxurious door and Mica was It was a veryrge room, romantically decorated and illuminated by dim yellow lights. And both the ceiling and the windows were adorned with twinkling lights, shining like stars in the sky. Carlos took a seat with her at a rectangr table near the window. The table was covered with a red tablecloth and a bouquet of beautiful rosesy on top of it. Diego motioned to the direction of the back and soon harmonious music was ying throughout the room. Mica turned and saw a band not far away, well equipped with all kinds of instruments. Her pulse quickened slightly and she asked Carlos: -Have you prepared all this for me? Carlos just looked at her smiling without answering her directly. Looking at her surprised and excited expression, he felt extremely happy. -Yes, Miss Noboa, Mr. Aguayo has reserved this room especially for you," added Diego to the side. Behind him, there was a line of waiters in uniforms, each with a tray in their hands. One after another, the waiters served dishes to Mica and Carlos. The food was very exquisite and delicate. Seeing these delicious dishes instantly whetted Mica''s appetite. The waiters left the room after finishing their work. Carlos turned around and asked Diego: -Hasn''t she arrived yet? -I''ve sent someone to pick her up, she should be here very soon," replied Diego. -Well, I know. Mica looked at the three pieces of silverware neatly ced on the table and asked the man with some curiosity: -Is anyone elseing to dine with us? Normally, when they ate together, Carlos usually sat across from her, but today thetter took the seat next to her and there was a service left over on the table. Carlos nced at it and asked purposely: -What, would you prefer to dine alone with me? -I can''t?! -Mica bit her lower lip and asked rhetorically. Carlos raised his eyebrows slightly thinking that this tender woman had the courage to contradict him. As he was about to joke with her, a woman''s metallic voice came from the door. -I warn you that I will teach you a good lesson if you dare to lie to me! I have obtained a ck belt in Taekwondo! Mica jumped to her feet and looked in the direction of the voice. That familiar figure was...?! -Alba! -Mica shouted loudly and excitedly. At the sound of the voice, the woman looked incredibly towards Mica and shouted: -Mica! Then, the two ran towards each other with great excitement and hugged each other tightly. -My God, what a surprise! Mica, it''s really you! I thought it was that person''s practical joke. I called you many times, but no one answered.... Mica was also very surprised and excited. Just when she wanted to ask Carlos what was going on, the main lights in the whole room suddenly went out. Only those little lights were left twinkling like stars in the gloom. Very puzzled, Mica turned around and saw a small but very exquisite cake on the table. Meanwhile, Carlos was lighting the candles that had been ced on the cake in advance. The dim lights of the candles further highlighted his handsome and attractive face. Then the man held the cake, looked at Mica with much pampering and wished her in a low, mesmerizing voice: -Mica, happy birthday! Then the band yed live, they yed the song "Happy Birthday". Mica was so moved by the surprise the man had prepared for her that she couldn''t say a word for a moment and her eyes flooded with happy tears. Because of the time difference, the time in the Mangzarent Nation was earlier than in Andana. It was now morning in Andana and it was indeed Mica''s birthday. Alba reactedpletely from the joy of meeting her best friend in another country and noticed that handsome man in front of her. "Is this man the distinguished Mr. Aguayo? He really is a good man." At this moment, Carlos slowly approached Mica slowly and hummed to her very sweetly: -Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday. We wish you all, happy birthday..... If they hadn''t turned off the lights, you could see Carlos'' face blushing with shyness. It was the first time he sang this song for others and he felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Carlos already started singing, Alba and Diego also joined in the chorus as he slowly waved his hands. Mica, looking into the deep and affectionate eyes, felt so happy that she thought she was dreaming.... After the song ended, Alba said: -Mica, hurry up and make some wishes! Mica slowly closed her eyes, put her fingers together in front of her chest and made several wishes. When she opened her eyes again, tears slipped uncontrobly from her pretty, clear eyes, but she still didn''t forget to blow out the candles. After Diego took the cake from Carlos'' hand, thetter immediately grabbed the woman who was crying happily in her own embraces, kissed her affectionately on the cheek and said in a low voice: -Silly girl, why are you crying on such a happy day? -Carlos... -Mica did not know how to express her emotions for a moment. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Carlos, taking the woman in his embrace, turned to Alba: -Miss Girabert, thank you very much for attending Mica''s party personally. I am sorry I let youe without inviting you in advance. Seeing that this man was so powerful that he so easily conquered the heart of her best friend, Alba did not want to show weakness in front of him, so she raised her head and stuck out her chest saying: -Mr. Aguayo, it''s okay. Even if he hadn''t sent for me, I would be back in Andana on the first flight tomorrow to celebrate his birthday. Mr. Aguayo, I know you like Mica very much, but please don''t forget that not only does she belong to you, but also that she is mine! -Alba... -Mica became more moved by her friend''s sincere words. -Miss Noboa, happy birthday," Diego also stepped forward and said with a smile. He stayed here until the moment, especially just to say this to Mica. -Thank you very much, Mr. Ocampo," Mica thanked him with a smile. -Mr. Aguayo has spent a lot of time organizing this birthday party for you. She was very busy in her designs a few days ago and he was worried that she would not be able to finish it before her birthday, so he also made a backup n at Tdia. Alba was very impressed by everything this Carlos had done for Mica. "My God, how thoughtful this man is! This Mr. Aguayo is really so much better than that guy Marcos. I''m so d Mica has a man like that by her side." Chapter 156 : Carlos By Her Side Was Enough For Her. Chapter 156 : Carlos By Her Side Was Enough For Her. Chapter 156 : Carlos by her side was enough for her. -Well, Diego, you''ve been working all day. Go get some rest now," Carlos told him with an undeniable tone. Carlos knew that his assistant started to get busy at work with himself as soon as he arrived in this country. After the business meeting with the partner, he rested for a while, but Diego still went on with the work of organizing the birthday party in the living room. Sensing Carlos'' serious tone, Diego knew that his boss was worried about his body, so he nodded his head, but before leaving, he reminded his master: -Please let them follow you and Miss Noboa all the time. The ones Diego mentioned were referring to those 4 bodyguards. Now they were in an unknown country, the Mangzarent Nation, instead of Tdia, where the Aguayo Group''s zone of influence was, so they had to be more cautious. Seeing that Carlos nodded slightly to him, Diego turned and left the room. -Alba,e and sit here. Mica stepped forward and took Alba''s arm towards the rectangr table. She had seen the seat where Carlos was sitting, so Alba consciously sat down in the chair in front of Carlos'' seat, and then pulled her friend''s arm with the intention of having her sit next to him. However, Carlos, who was sitting across from her, said softly to Mica: -Honey, sit next to me. Hearing the man''s words, Mica obediently took the seat next to him. "By God, this Mica has already forgotten about her best friend after having a boyfriend." The two girls had not seen each other for a long time, naturally they were very happy meeting in another country and had a lot to chat about. While the two were talking happily, Carlos was sitting quietly next to Mica, cutting the steak nicely into small pieces for her. In turn, Mica ate a piece, discovered that it was very delicious and took a piece to the man with her fork eximing: -Carlos, this steak is super tasty, try it? Before finishing her words, Mica stopped the fork abruptly in the air because she realized that her movement was too intimate and affectionate and that her best friend was sitting in front of her. Carlos sketched a slight smile, approached the fork hanging in the air, ate that piece of steak and then answered in his low voice to the woman: -Yes, it is very delicious. Alba was very touched when she saw that the two were so affectionate. "Fortunately, I encouraged Mica to ept him to that man at that moment. Now Mica is much more cheerful than before being with this Carlos." To alleviate her friend''s embarrassment, Alba opened her mouth quite naturally: -Of course he is very exquisite! Mica, this is the Kobe prime steak from Japan. Upon hearing Alba''s exnation, Mica''s attention was immediately diverted. After a pause, Alba continued: -Look, this dish is foie gras and it muste from Clsace de Kansa. This is ck truffle and that dish is ck caviar? All the dishes on this table are very expensive! After hearing her words, Mica felt even more excited. This man had taken her specially to this country and had invited her best friend secretly, just to surprise her and celebrate her birthday. Sensing that his wife was about to cry again, Carlos hurried to say: -Tontita, don''t cry anymore. I''m very sorry to see you cry. Eat something, okay? Alba smiled softly as she saw that the two were publicly showing their affections. After finishing the main courses, Alba, who had a sweet tooth, immediately suggested cutting the cake. "This delicate cake must taste really good!" Indeed, the tart was very soft and rich, which melted immediately upon entering the mouth and left a constant aroma. The two girls loved it so much that they ate several pieces without having any worries about getting fat. Mica looked sideways at Carlos and saw that he didn''t even touch the portion she had cut for him, so she rmended: -Carlos, try it, it really is very delicious! The man exined, refusing: -I don''t like sweets very much. -Try a little bit, it''s not very sweet," insisted Mica. The man, who seemed to be hesitating, approached her and said: -Yes? Then I''ll take a bite... Having said that, he leaned over, kissed Mica on the lips, where there was still some cream remaining, and whispered in her ear: -Yes, it tastes great and I''m already addicted. Off to the side, Alba already took out her cell phone and took some affectionate pictures of them - the two of them really were very photogenic! Mica hurriedly pushed the man away and looked stunned at Alba, her face very flushed. -Stop it, please, stop showing your affections in public. The band and I are still present! Just when Mica wanted to say something, Carlos'' phone suddenly rang. Carlos took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unknown number. However, when he wanted to hang up straight away, he suddenly remembered that he had dialed this number. This number belonged to Katarina Carballo! Carlos stood up immediately and excused himself: -Excuse me, I''m going to take a call. Alba, who had been waiting for the man to leave and let Mica be alone with her, answered: -Please take your necessary time, Mr. Aguayo. Then Carlos went to the window not far away to answer the call. Mica looked at the band''s piano and said to Alba: -Alba, do you think I can y the piano? Alba was a little surprised and asked: -Really, why haven''t I heard you mention it? When did you learn to y it? -In that memory I lost, the piano teacher said that I had learned to y the piano since I was little and gave it up after my parents'' ident. Thinking that her parents were already gone and that only she remained in this world, Mica could not help but sink into a deep sadness.... Looking at her friend''s mncholic expression, Alba consoled her with a tender tone: -If your parents knew that there is a man who loves and cares for you, they would rejoice and rest in peace. Mica, that Carlos, he really treats you very well, I think the best thing I''ve done so far is to have encouraged you to be with him! Mica put on a slightly flushed face and said softly: -Alba, thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Otherwise, I would not have been able to take the first step in this rtionship. Hearing Mica''s words, Alba asked her with some surprise: -Don''t tell me! From what I know about you, you have always been an inactive and introverted person in love. Are you sure you have taken a step? Isn''t it that Mr. Aguayo who has been taking the initiative in this rtionship with you? Mica became even more embarrassed and refuted: -Of course I have! I added his WhatsApp ount first! Alba burst outughing at her response. Mica felt a little more embarrassed and said seriously: -As you said, it''s true that he is the one who has always been taking the initiative and taking care of me, but I want you to know that from now on, I will strive to be mature and to reach the same height as him! Alba nced sideways at Carlos, who was standing not far away, and guessed that he must have heard her friend''s words because he was smiling so happily. Indeed, Carlos heard everything Mica had said and said to himself mentally: "Silly girl, as long as you take one step forward towards me, I''ll walk running for you!" The next moment, very determinedly, Mica stood up and approached the band step by step. Alba was astonished to see her walk steadily to where the piano was and talk about something with the pianist. Then thetter got up from the chair and Mica took the seat. "Does she want to y the piano?" Both Alba and Carlos fixed their eyes on Mica, who held up her fingers and slowly closed her eyes. At this point, a man from the band yed the saxophone, and then Mica, to the sound of it, began her rendition on the piano. The piece she was ying was Beethoven''s "For Eliza". Deeply immersed in the soft notes of the melody, Mica swayed elegantly ording to the rhythm as she yed the piano. A soft white spotlight fell on Mica on stage, highlighting her beautiful and elegant profile, as if she were a fairy straight out of children''s fairy tales. Alba was so taken aback by her friend''s musical performance that she covered her mouth and eximed softly: -Mica is very talented on the piano! Carlos also looked unblinkingly at Mica thinking that his baby could always surprise him. When Mica was about to finish, Carlos suddenly approached her and sat down next to her. After ying thest note, Mica felt her emotions slowly calming down. Just as she was about to remove her hands, she heard the dynamic sound of the piano and instantly recognized it as Pachelbel''s "The Canon". Mica closed her eyes again, took a deep breath and began to y the piece together with the man..... -My God, they both y the same piece on the same piano! -Alba waspletely stunned. The two sat together, with their own hands, jumping quickly between the ck and white keys, ying a fast, light and naughty melody. The two were cooperating perfectly as if they had practiced this piece numerous times. Those in the band looked dazedly at this couple, who werepletely immersed in their own world of music, and felt that the band was surplus to requirements in this room. At the end of the piece, Mica opened her eyes softly, turned her head towards the man and asked him in surprise: -Carlos, is there anything you are incapable of doing?! Thetter drew a slight smile and approached her ear whispering sweetly: -Yes, I am incapable of disappointing you. Hearing what the man said, her pulse elerated uncontrobly as if it could jump out of her throat at any moment. Suddenly, Mica felt that it would be enough to have this man by her side and she would have nothing more to ask for in the rest of her life. Carlos took her by the hand and approached Alba. -Miss Girabert, are you free tomorrow? -Of course I am, tomorrow I wille to apany Mica for the whole day," Alba answered quickly. -Well. Then I''ll let someone take you back to school first and pick you up here tomorrow, OK? Alba nodded slightly and then turned to her friend: -Mica, it''s already veryte and I''m going back to school first. By the way... Alba stopped suddenly as if she had remembered something. A sh of worry quickly shed through her eyes and disappeared instantly. After calming down, she continued: -By the way, the night scenery of this city is very beautiful and you can let Mr. Aguayo apany you for a little walk. I have to go back to school to attend to some things, so I won''t bother you here anymore. But don''t worry, Mica, tomorrow I''lle and pick you up and bring you the gift. Mica nodded smiling and said: -I don''t care about the gift. As long as I can see you, I will be very happy. After these words, the three left the banquet hall and the four bodyguards immediately followed them. They rode the elevator down to the second floor and there was already a car waiting outside. Alba said goodbye to her friend with a kiss on the cheek, got into the car and left. Then Carlos took Mica to another car. -Where are we going at this hour? -asked Mica. -I''m taking you to receive your birthday present," Carlos answered with a mysterious smile on his lips. Mica didn''t expect that the gift the man was referring to was an amusement park! The amusement park was so big that you couldn''t see the other end from its front door. It was equipped with all kinds of amusement facilities, which were decorated with multicolored lights. Mica took Carlos by the hand, ran inside and stopped, asking in surprise: -Why is no one else seen here except the two of us? -I have reserved the whole park for you. You can entertain yourself as you like today," the man replied. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mica was stunned on the spot and said to him: -Why did you waste so much money?! It''s livelier when there are more people in the park. At this moment, a bodyguard who was behind them suddenly said: -Miss, it''s because? Carlos gave him a cold look and the tall, strong bodyguard immediately shut up. -Because I want to give you the most unique happiness in this world and because I don''t want to share your smile with anyone else," Carlos whispered softly in her ear. Mica instantly made a flushed face and said in a low voice: -You are too dominant! The man smiled slightly, took her by the hand and kept walking forward as he spoke: -Yes, I am dominant, that''s why you have to get used to me, understand? Mica obediently advanced with the man into the park. Do you want to ride the merry-go-round? -Carlos turned around and asked Mica as he saw the carousel spinning in front of him. The woman nodded with much excitement. The staff opened the railing for them and they both climbed in. First Carlos helped her onto the wooden horse, then he sat behind her as he hugged her around the waist. Mica was very embarrassed and asked him: -There are so many empty seats there, why do you have to ride on the same horse with me!!!! -Because I want to sit with you," Carlos answered simply. Mica was speechless for a moment. After they were both seated properly, the carousel began to spin. Mica stretched her arms and smiled happily. The man asked in a low, sweet voice behind her back: -Would you like me to take you to ride on a real horse next time? -Yes!" the woman said without any dy. Suddenly Mica felt like sharing everything she was keeping in her chest with Carlos and slowly she said to him: -I don''t remember anything before the traffic ident, that''s why I don''t know if my parents have ever apanied me to entertain me to any amusement park. But I do know that I never went to any amusement park after returning to the Elvira family from the orphanage. Every time Marta took Adriana to y in amusement parks, she never let me go with them..... Mica paused and continued talking: -Andrina used to brag about how fun and cheerful she was every time she came back from amusement parks and I was very envious. It''s a shame from my childhood that I never went to the amusement park. Carlos was a little distressed after hearing the woman''s words and told her a secret of his: -Actually, I haven''t been to any amusement park since I was little either, that''s why, it can be said that today we have fulfilled our childhood wish together. Mica showed an incredible expression and asked: -Really? You really haven''t entertained yourself in any amusement park before either? The next second, Mica immediately thought that Carlos must have been strictly cultivated as the heir of the Aguayo family since he was a child and that he must not have had free time like other children to y carefree. Therefore, since childhood, he always showed a serious and indifferent expression with others. Carlos did not want to pursue this heavy subject, so he tried to speak in a light tone: -Then, darling,e and y with me idly! Afterwards, the two of them almost experienced all the amusements of the park, including the thrilling roller coaster. Their joyfulughter spread all over the park.... Mica looked with great excitement and gratitude at Carlos. If he hadn''t booked the whole park, this ce would have been full of people lined up by now and it would have been impossible for them to finish all the rides in one night. -Carlos, what time is it now? -asked Mica casually, who still wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. Carlos nced at his wristwatch and said: -It''s almost one o''clock. Chapter 157 : Is That True? Chapter 157 : Is That True? Chapter 157 : Is that true? Mica stopped abruptly because she suddenly remembered that Carlos and his assistant Diego had been busy at work after arriving at Mangzarent Nation without a break: first they had gone to the business meeting with the new partner and then they had organized their birthday party at the salon. Thinking about this, Mica secretly looked somewhat guiltily at the man and sensed some tiredness on his handsome face. "Even though you are so tired, are you still with me thiste?" -Carlos, let''s go back to the hotel, okay? I''m already tired," said Mica. Carlos teased her: -What, you haven''t rested enough after sleeping so much? -It''s already midnight and it''s time to rest. We should do what the locals do, shouldn''t we? Besides, I''m really feeling a bit tired after so much fun. Let''s go back to the hotel, shall we? -But don''t you want to ride the Ferris wheel anymore? -asked the man. -We cane again the other day," answered the woman. In his inner self, Carlos clearly knew that this woman did not want him to tire himself so much, so he epted it without saying anything else. The two got into the car and soon returned to the hotel. As soon as they entered the suite, Mica urged the man to take a shower. Thetter did not refuse, handed her back the cell phone and prated into the bathroom. Micay down on the sofa, unlocked her cell phone and discovered that Alba had called her many times before the start of the birthday party. But to surprise her, Carlos had silenced her cell phone in advance. Thinking about this, Mica was very moved. She opened her WhatsApp and saw that there were many unread messages. They were all photos of Carlos and her taken by Alba during the party. In one of the photos, Carlos was leaning slightly and kissing her very tenderly on the lips where cream from the cake remained. While she herself was very stupefied with her eyes wide open. Looking at that very intimate picture, Mica blushed instantly and felt that her friend was very good at taking pictures. Mica slid down and saw the photos of her and Carlos, dressed in couples'' outfits, affectionately ying the piano on the band stage. Mica felt very excited, not only for all that Carlos had prepared for her, but also for what Alba had done for her. This was the happiest birthday she had had for so many years! At this moment, a new message appeared at the top of the screen. Mica opened it and saw that it was still a message from Alba: -Have you slept yet? -Not yet," Mica wrote to her. -Have you given her your virginity? -Alba sent another message. Mica blushed at her friend''s direct question. In everyday life, Alba was a tender girl, but the question she asked was anything but gentle! Mica bit her lip slightly and answered her: -No, we just got back. -So, are you ready to give her to him? -asked Alba again. Looking at Alba''s intimate question, Mica felt very embarrassed, but she still plucked up the courage N?velDrama.Org is the owner. to answer: -Yes! As soon as the message was sent, the bathroom door opened and the man came out with a white robe over him. Mica hurried to hide her cell phone behind the cushion on the couch and quickly entered the bathroom. After she finished showering, Mica mentally asked herself: "Should I put on my bathrobe or go out wrapped in the towel, or do I have nothing on?" Mica seemed to be going crazy to have such a thought of undressing! Finally, she put on the bathrobe and came out of the bathroom. Carlos was sitting on the bed perusing a document in his hand. Seeing that the woman came out of the bathroom, Carlos put the paper on the bedside table, lifted the thin quilt on the bed indicating to her to sleep there tonight. In turn, Mica, being a little embarrassed, obediently got into the nket andy down nicely on the bed. Carlos leaned slightly towards the woman, rested his chin with his elbows and stared at her affectionately. Under the man''s burning gaze, Mica blushed instantly and forced herself to look into his eyes. As she met Carlos'' deep, clear eyes, Mica''s pulse couldn''t help but quicken. -Are you very nervous? -Carlos asked softly. Mica nodded unconsciously, but then shook her head quickly, and clenched her fists tightly under the nket. Carlos found the woman with such an expression very sympathetic, so he slightly curved the corners of his mouth in a faint smile, moved closer to Mica and ced a soft kiss on her lips. However, just as he was about to pull away, Mica suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.... Carlos let out a moan from his throat, rolled over on the bed and pressed the woman under his strong body. And his hands slid violently into the woman''s body and her breathing became faster and faster.... Nevertheless, thest trace of reason said to himself: "She is trembling and nervous - Carlos, you cannot desire her now!" Carlos'' strong will made him withdraw quickly, release her hastily: -I''m going to sleep outside.... However, a soft body pressed firmly against his back, stiffening him, and a low, soft voice rang out: -Carlos, I''m ready now..... Carlos was fighting himself inside. He wanted her desperately, but he didn''t want to force her.... -I''m a little nervous because it''s my first time.... But I''m not afraid... Mica spoke with her eyes tightly closed. She felt that her face was as flushed as a tomato, as if it would burn at any moment. A great ecstasy swept over him and conquered him, Carlos turned straight around and pressed her back on the bed. "Your first time?" Hearing this, the man couldn''t help but feel happy, and proud. As a normal man, he naturally wanted to be able to get his first time in bed. He knew she was an introverted woman by nature, which he liked himself, so he was willing to wait patiently for her to willingly give him her virginity. Carlos thought that since he had no way to participate in her past, he would give her the best in the future and protect her well from any potential harm.... Carlos''s movements became increasingly fierce and violent and his reason gradually went out of him. Mica, with her eyes tightly closed, was in chaos in her mind, and the back of her neck was hurting more and more, which made her wake up a little, and some blurred fragments passed very quickly through her mind: In pitch darkness, a burning body of the man pressed so firmly against her that it was hard for her to breathe. And the man said in gloom: -Why no sound? Then she felt extreme pain in her neck..... -Ah, no!!!! -Mica opened her eyes abruptly and pushed Carlos away with all her strength and curled into a ball in the corner of the bed. She seemed to remember that she had lost her virginity! Immediately, tears sprang uncontrobly from her fear-filled eyes. "Is this true? If it''s true, why didn''t I know about it before! If it''s not true, why did these horrible images arise in my mind!" Suddenly pushed by the woman, Charles sat dejectedly on the other side of the bed not knowing what was going on. Seeing that the woman was trembling and crying on the bed, Carlos instantly came to his senses. Chapter 158 : DonT Let Her Get Sadder. Chapter 158 : Don''T Let Her Get Sadder. Chapter 158 : Don''t let her get sadder. Carlos, suppressing shock and confusion, approached her and reached out his hand with the intention of caressing her head. Unexpectedly, Mica pushed his hand away and begged him: -No, don''t touch me..... Mica shrank back even more, gripping the cor tightly with both hands, but there was no more room behind her, so she had no choice but to curl up into a ball. Seeing her vulnerable appearance and defensive eyes, Charles felt a sharp pang in his heart. Although he didn''t know what exactly had happened, he was pretty sure that something unpleasant had happened to his darling.... -Honey, look at me... -he said in a very tender tone. Mica did so obediently and stopped crying little by little. -Come to my embrace, okay? Hearing the man''s words, Mica was very moved, and immediately wanted to throw herself into the man''s embrace, however, the terrible scenes appeared again in her mind, leaving her frozen in the same ce. Carlos opened his arms and said softly: -Mica, look at me and I won''t hurt you. Come here, okay? -Carlos... The woman''s tears slipped again, she slowly crawled towards him, she threw herself into his arms crying: -I''m sorry, wuaaaa.... I''m so sorry, I didn''t mean it.... Carlos gave a relieved sigh as this woman finally approached him himself. He hugged her tightly and stroked her hair gently, giving herfort as he whispered to her: -Don''t worry, honey, you have me here. Mica wanted to tell him what had just appeared in her mind, but she was afraid that these images were true. "What if it were all true, what opinion would Carlos have of me?" Thinking like that, tears welled up in her eyes even more fiercely. She was afraid that Carlos would despise her. She had spent such a happy day with him today, and she really didn''t want to ruin this hard-won happiness.... "What should I do?" Suddenly Carina felt that she herself was not worthy of Carlos.... -Honey, don''t overthink it. I promise I''ll always be there for you, okay? Carlos hugged her tighter andforted her whispering in her ear until this poor girl got tired of crying and fell asleep in his embrace. After wiping her tears on her cheeks and covering her with the nket, Carlos got off the bed, went to the sofa, took out Mica''s cell phone and unlocked the screen, which still showed the interface with Alba. Thest unread message wrote: -Well, cheer up tonight and I look forward to your good news tomorrow. Carlos slid the screen down and read all the messages from the two girls. Until that moment, he realized that his babe was really willing to give her virginity to himself tonight. He still felt very happy inside, even though it didn''t work out for him in the end. Afterwards, Carlos flipped through the call log, found Alba''s phone number and dialed it. He turned around, nced worriedly at Mica, who was sleeping peacefully, left the room and closed the door tightly. -My God, you finished it so quickly! It seems that your Mr. Aguayo is not very good in bed! -Alba''s humorous voice came from the other end of the phone. -It''s Carlos speaking... Hearing the man''s serious voice, Alba was so shocked that the cell phone fell out of her hand onto the couch. Then she forced herself to take a deep breath before picking up the phone. Knowing that the man on Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. the other end was still listening, she kept talking: -I guess you''ve already vaguely guessed what had happened to Mica. Carlos felt a heavy pang when he heard what she said, but he still said calmly: -Yes. Please tell me everything you know. Alba tried to calm down and spoke to him in a calm tone: -Mr. Aguayo, this is Mica''s privacy, and I shouldn''t tell you everything, but I think only you can help her..... -Actually, Mica was the biggest victim. She was set up at the time. We don''t know who that guilty person is. I''ve been trying to find out who was behind all this, but I haven''te up with anything useful.... -Mica was in a lot of pain during that time. You also know that she is a very conservative girl, so that incident was undoubtedly a devastating blow for her. During that time, she cried without eating or drinking all day long, and even showered a dozen times each day. Alba gave a brief pause to relieve her emotions a bit before continuing: -I had no choice but to take her to a clinician to be hypnotized with the intention of making her forget that painful memory. She herself wanted too much to forget that terrible incident, so the hypnosis was very sessful. -After receiving the treatment, Mica gradually returned to a normal life. When Mica mentioned you in front of me for the first time, she seemed to have signs of remembering that horrible experience, so I called you afterwards. The more Carlos listened, the more tightly he clenched his fists and his chest was full of fury. Thinking about her painful expression of the woman, Carlos'' heart ached a lot. Previously, Carlos had guessed whether it was for a reason, so his beloved Mica chose hypnosis, but in the end he found no clue even after using Tomas''s intelligencework, therefore, he came to the conclusion that such a thing should not happen to her. Besides, she did not show anything abnormal except that her sleep quality was very good, so Carlos did not go any further into this matter.... Now he very much regretted not having asked in depth what had happened to Alba when she first called him! "I won''t leave anyone who dares to hurt Mica alone!" Carlos clenched his fists with out and suppressed his extreme rage in his chest, radiating a murderous and terrible aura.... After a good while, he said in a low voice: -Miss Gbert, please help me tofort Mica well tomorrow and try not to remember him..... He was afraid that Mica would fall back into that painful cycle if she suddenly remembered what had happened to her. He wanted her to forget everything sad and for her to be as happy forever as she had been with himself at the amusement park. "Honey, don''t worry, I''ll get that bastard, I''ll torture him cruelly and I''ll make him pay the price for everything he''s done to you!" Carlos frowned with many worries and said to Alba: -ording to her violent reaction a moment ago, I think she must have remembered something, so please act ording to her mood tomorrow, and your main task is to relieve her tense nerves and not let her sadden herself any more, okay? Alba was very touched by how considerate this man was, but she couldn''t help but ask: -Don''t you care about everything that happened? -I only regret that I didn''t show up punctually in his life. That damned bastard, I''ll definitely find him and tear him to pieces! Alba on the other end of the phone felt the deep fierceness in this man''s words! *** When Mica woke up, it was already fully dawn. Opening her sleepy eyes, she saw that Carlos was still sleeping next to her with his hand on her waist. He also had a slight frown on his brow, as if he was worried about something.... "Is he bothered about me?" Seeing his furrowed brows, she reached out her hand with the intention of stroking him a little, however, when she touched him, he immediately opened his eyes. An obvious drowsiness could be noticed in his eyes, and he seemed to have just fallen asleep for a while. Thinking about what Mica had experienced, Carlos felt so sorry for her that he couldn''t help but hold back any longer and take her in his own arms. Besides, now Carlos, who was dominated by rage, would really like to go back to the country immediately to find that person, and torture her to death! Mica wanted to withdraw her hand, but the man held it firmly.... Carlos put his hand on her cheek, and said in his low, husky voice: -Good morning, darling. Chapter 159 : Not Only Do I Like You... Chapter 159 : Not Only Do I Like You... Chapter 159 : Not only do I like you... Mica remembered what had happenedst night and the images that appeared in her mind, she became very entangled, but still she chose to talk to the man: -Carlos, I don''t want to lie to you. I don''t know if it''s true or not nor do I know why I don''t remember anything, but I think I may have missed my first time. Are you disappointed in me? Do you still like me? As she spoke, tears fell incessantly from her eyes. Mica really didn''t want to lie to him. The more this man mattered to her, the more she was afraid of losing him. If she kept this secret in her chest, she would possibly be upset about this every day without being able to do anything else. Charles was surprised by her frankness, but the problems that troubled him made him feel distressed. At the same time, he was a little relieved to see that her condition was better than he had imagined. He very gently took her in his arms and lightly stroked her head: -Dumb girl, if I tell you that I lost my virginity, do you mind? Mica stopped her crying, blushed a little and asked with some bewilderment: -You''re a man, isn''t it... isn''t it normal among boys? Carlos raised his eyebrows slightly and joked with her: -Are you so generous? Don''t you want to have everything from me? Don''t you want to get my first time? -Of course I do, but I didn''t know you before! -Mic answered him when she heard the man''s words. -Honey, I me myself for not knowing you before, not protecting you and taking good care of you. No matter what happens, you are and will forever be my best treasure in this world. How is it possible that I don''t like you? -Besides, it''s possible that you were too tired yesterday because of the time difference, so your mind was a little confused. Don''t overthink it, okay? In my heart, you''re the cutest and purest little angel, huh? She looked into his deep eyes, full of affection and tenderness, her low, appealing voice echoing in his mind: Carlos did not despise her at all, he even said he would appreciate her more and that she was the cutest and purest little angel in the world.... Mica believed that virginity was extremely valuable and only wanted to give it to her love of life. Now, under these circumstances, Mica was not sure she could get the recognition of the others in her family and join her family, but in her inner self, this man was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, sost night she had taken the initiative.... Mica was very moved to hear the man''s affectionate statements and hoped very much that the images in her mind yesterday were just false hallucinations.... Mica sank her face into his neck, and asked in a low, timid voice: -So, if I can''t? What will you do? What she meant was: if she herself could not ovee the psychological difficulties and did not have the courage to sleep with him in the future, what would he do about it? Carlos became a little puzzled without understanding what she wanted to express and asked her: -What do you mean, honey? Mic, who was really very embarrassed, pulled away from his embrace, turned around and got off the bed with her face already flushed.... -Nothing, forget it. I''m going to brush my teeth.... Carlos suddenly understood everything in an instant, took a step forward at the bathroom door, hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear: -I can wait for you until you are totally ready to ept me in bed. I just want you and I won''t go with anyone else. It doesn''t matter if it''s your first time or not.... Her face blushed even more. At this moment, Carlos'' phone rang next to the bed. The man gave her a soft kiss on the cheek before releasing her and went to get his cell phone. Mica hurried into the bathroom to get ready. When she came out again, she saw that Carlos had already changed into a formal suit. He looked very handsome and elegant. He opened the closet and motioned for her toe and pick out clothes. Mica approached the confused man and saw that there were several sets of women''s dresses hanging inside. Mica was a little surprised and asked: -Are we going to stay here for long? -No, let''se back after this contract is signed. It takes a few more days or so. -Then, why are you preparing so many clothes for me? Carlos looked at those pieces hanging inside the closet, he remembered that his treasure was a Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. woman who didn''t ask for much in clothing. But as a man, he always wanted to give her the best, so he had had more clothes made for her.... "How cute and nice my baby is!" Carlos stroked her head affectionately without answering the question directly and said: -Change your clothes first. Having said that, she went to the bathroom to wash. Worried that Carlos would soone out and see her naked body, Mica quickly pulled any skirt out of the closet and put it on. As she was pulling the zipper in the back, she thought about that painful area on her neck.... Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside, and Mica hurried to put on the garment properly before going to open the door. It turned out that it was the hotel''s food delivery staff serving them breakfast. cing the breakfast on the table, the waiter left the suite and Carlos emerged just in time from the bathroom. The two sat down to breakfast and the man said to Mica: -I have enough to do today. You can go out with Miss Gbert. I''ll look for you when I finish work, okay? - "Okay," Mica nodded. "How nice it is that we can still sit down to breakfast together after what happenedst night! Mica, you shouldn''t run away cowardly and you have to face everything bravely" Mica said to herself mentally. Mica suddenly wanted to talk about something with the man, but no way the words didn''te out, so she got up to get a pen and a piece of paper, wrote some words on it, then handed it to Carlos and said: -Look, I wrote these words especially for you! Carlos took it, looked at it attentively for a long time and smiled a very happy smile because his sweetheart finally confessed her loving feelings to him. Hiding his joyful emotions, Carlos did his best to make his voice sound calm: -Give me the pen. She handed it to him, but at this moment the doorbell rang again, Mica turned around to open the door. She saw Diego, followed by Alba after opening the door. -Mica, good morning! Alba stepped forward and gave her good friend a hug. -Sir, can we leave now? -Diego asked. Carlos went to the door with his coat in his hand, looked at Alba and said: -Please take good care of Mica. Then he indicated to the 4 bodyguards outside the door: -Protect them well, understand? The four quickly nodded their heads. Carlos finally turned around to Mica and said whispering: -I''m leaving first. Mica looked at him and nodded slightly. So, Carlos and Diego left. And Alba and Mica entered the suite together. -Did you just have breakfast? Seeing the paper on the table, Alba picked it up and saw that it said: "I like you." "I don''t just like you..." At a nce, Alba recognized that the words at the top were written by her friend, and the words in the second row were very vigorous and forceful. It should be that Mr. Aguayo''s masterpiece. -Wow, they''re already ginning up their affections so early in the morning! What loving words! But to my way of thinking, "I like you" is not enough, they should use the phrase "I love you", ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..... Alba jokedughing and handed the paper to Mica. Mica read the words the man had left her on the paper, and was secretly very happy. Seeming to have remembered something, Mica turned around, pushed her hair aside and said to Alba: -Alba, please help me to see what''s behind my neck..... Chapter 160 : They Happily Went Out Shopping Chapter 160 : They Happily Went Out Shopping Chapter 160 : They happily went out shopping Alba was a bit taken aback because Mica had also said the same words to her two years before. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Mica turned her back to her friend, so she didn''t see the stunned expression on Alba''s face. The Mica''s white neck.... Two years ago, the wound was quite serious and bleeding, but Mica refused to go to the hospital, so gradually the wound scabbed over on its own, leaving a permanent scar on her neck. But Mica forgot all this after receiving hypnosis. Since then, Mica formed a new habit: she began to wear high-cored clothes, which could cover the scar, although she herself had forgotten that there was such a mark on her neck. -There is nothing. Mica, what''s wrong? -Alba asked tentatively. Thinking about what Carlos had told herst night, Alba decided to see first what Mica knew at the moment. Mica turned around and said with a very confused expression: -But I was in a lot of pain about that part and..... Although there was no one else in the suite, Mica leaned shyly into Alba''s ear and whispered that she had pushed Carlos awayst night when they were about to take thest step in bed. Alba, in turn, pretended not to know and asked: -So you didn''t make love to himst night? Mica blushed and nodded. Then, remembering the images that shed through her mindst night, she went pale-faced at once and described those scenes to her best friend. Even now, she couldn''t help but shiver a little as she evoked those hallucinations. Alba hugged her andforted her: -Don''t overthink it. It was just a nightmare. You pushed Mr. Aguayo away, just because you were too nervous at the time. I have told you many times that you are too conservative in these intimate things, but you don''t believe me. Mica didn''t believe it, she looked doubtfully at her friend and said: -Alba, I have lost some memory, haven''t I, please tell me if you know anything! Alba answered her seriously: -I really haven''t passed anything to you and those images just some false hallucinations. I have been with you for so long. If something so terrible had really happened to you, how is it possible that you yourself didn''t know anything and that I didn''t tell you! Think about it carefully, you''ve been leading a regr, very well organized life over the years, how is it possible that you''ve lost some memories? Mica was a bit stunned, thinking that Alba was right. Her previous life had always been very regr and simple, without many ups and downs. If something so terrible had really happened to her, it should be unforgettable to her. How could she herself forget it? She also began to doubt herself. Alba saw his face which was gradually regaining blood, was a little relieved, and continued: -You have always been strongly opposed to having sex before marriage. Don''t forget that that guy, Marcos, who has been dating you for three years, hasn''t even had a chance to kiss you on the lips, that''s why I think it must be because you''re still not used to your rtionship with Mr. Aguayo, that''s why, under a nervous state, you''ve had those terrible hallucinatory scenes pop up in your head. Alba finally drew such a conclusion! "So, it''s really my hallucinations and I''m still a virgin?" Alba saw that Mica was hesitating and added: -Mica, don''t you believe my words? I''ve never lied to you, huh? Besides, I don''t have any reason to lie to you, do I? Seeing that Alba spoke with such a serious tone, Mica let out a sigh of relief, as if all the worries in her heart vanished, and her mood became a little cheerful. "Alba won''t lie to me. Besides, how could I forget such a serious matter!" Thinking about this, he wanted to jump up and down joyfully. However, Mica instantly blushed as she remembered that she herself broke into tears very pitifully because of these false hallucinations. -Stop it. Don''t overthink it. You rarelye to Mangzarent Nation, let''s go shopping, shall we? Mica agreed immediately, without thinking much. But then she regretted very much that she had agreed to go shopping with Alba, because the two of them went through several shopping malls non-stop from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon! Mica sat very tired on a bench next to a bustling street, and massaged her aching thighs. Her friend not only liked to shop, but also liked to approve different foods while shopping! Like her best friend, Mica naturally also forced herself to eat a lot. Mica would lie on the bench with a very full stomach. She could no longer walk or eat. -Alba, when you get back to the country, I will definitely introduce you to Ana! She also likes shopping very much! I think she''s an ideal match for you.... -Is she the colleague you mentioned to me before? Well, introduce me to her! Now I''d like to go shopping with her! Alba was sitting next to Mica while having an ice cream. Under her feet were piles of shopping bags, and one of the bodyguards who had been consciously guarding them stepped forward and carried all the heavy bags to the trunk of the car, secretly thinking: "Fortunately, we''ve left in two cars, otherwise..." Mica was resting quietly on the bench and suddenly, Alba took her by the arm, led her running to the women''s clothing store, not far away, and said excitedly: -Mica, they are all new fall styles, hurry up! Mica, who would like to cry on the spot, said to her friend: -But you''ve already bought so many! -I''m still missing a dress that can match the shoes I just bought! The bodyguards obediently followed them, and the manager of the group wanted to let two of them wait outside the store, while he himself and another person entered the store with the two girls. However, Alba stopped and said to him: -Please wait for us at the door. If an ident happens inside, it''s not toote for you toe in! Alba knew it was Carlos'' good intention to let these bodyguards protect them, but she herself was really upset about being followed by such strong men all the time! -But Mr. Aguayo has ordered us to protect you well," the person in charge of the group spoke with a serious face. Alba gritted her teeth and said in a slightly louder voice: -You can also protect us by waiting for us outside the tent! -I''m sorry, but we have to be responsible for your safety," the man replied. -Why are you so stubborn! Mica pulled Alba, looked towards the store and said to the bodyguard: -Sir, look, there are already so many people choosing clothes inside, and they are all women. If you go in, you may cause them some unnecessary inconvenience, so please wait for us here. Look, there are chairs. You can rest here for a while and I will call you if anything happens. The bodyguard took a close look at the tent, and found that the tent was notrge and you could clearly see what was going on inside outside, so he nodded his head after a moment''s hesitation: -Well, I''m here at the door. Please call me if you have something urgent. Alba, without letting Mica answer that bodyguard, took her by the hand into the store. As soon as they entered the store, they felt a slight but pleasant rubbing. Chapter 161 : If You Are Not Able To Buy It, DonT Approve It! Chapter 161 : If You Are Not Able To Buy It, Don''T Approve It! Chapter 161 : If you are not able to buy it, don''t approve it! This store was not very big, but it was a Parisian fashion store, so there were many limited editions to be sold here and there were many customers choosing clothes. Alba went all around the store very excitedly selecting dresses she liked, while Mica was silently observing her surroundings. The decor of the store was simple but luxurious. In fact, all the clothes on disy were very tasteful and fashionable. -Mica, look at this dress, it must fit you, go try it on! Alba handed a light green waist-length dress to her. Mica took it and looked at it for quite a while. She really liked the style and it was very pretty, but the price was too expensive for her! She nced at the price tag and was a bit dumbfounded - the price of this dress would be enough to feed the children at the orphanage for several months! The sales clerk next to her rolled her eyes slightly when she saw that Mica wanted to hang the dress in its original ce after checking the price. -Mica, go and try it on. Believe me, this dress really fits you well," Alba stopped her and pushed her into the fitting room. Unable to refuse her good friend, Mica had no choice but to hand her purse to her and close the fitting room door helplessly. Alba returned to continue selecting other garments as she saw Mica obediently enter the fitting room. But the next moment, the phone rang in Mica''s purse. Alba took it out, saw that it was Carlos calling her and answered on his behalf: -Hello, Mr. Aguayo. Carlos immediately recognized her time and asked her: -How is she now? Carlos was very busy today. To finish the job as quickly as possible, he didn''t even eat lunch. Finally, just now, after finishing everything, he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the phone number of his beloved. Alba looked toward the dressing room door and lowered her voice: -Now she ispletely calm and believes everything I made up. Getting no answer on the other end of the phone, Alba continued speaking: -Mr. Aguayo, can you temporarily contain your "passion" for her? Although Alba was an extroverted person, she could not say the words so directly in front of Carlos. Fortunately, the man understood what she wanted to express, and answered in a low voice: -I see. Please wait with her in the store, I''ll be right there," he said and hung up the phone. Alba put the cell phone in her purse. As she raised her head, she saw the ss door of the store open, and a man and a woman entered, holding each other''s arms. Alba gasped a little at the sight of the two, who just happened to nce her way. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -Alba? -the woman cried out in surprise at the sight of her. In turn, Alba crossed her arms around her chest, looked them both up and down and said coldly: -How small this world is! I didn''t expect to be able to meet you here, udia. The two who entered were none other than udia Gaos and Joel Campos. -Yes, what a coincidence. udia grabbed his boyfriend''s arm tighter, showing off in front of Alba. Alba, naturally, saw her gesture, looked at Joel, who was dressed in a formal suit and said mockingly: -Joel, are you looking for the other bottom after being rejected by Mica? udia became so angry that she clenched her teeth tightly when she heard his ironic words. Between herself and Alba there was no conflict from the beginning to the end. udia really didn''t understand why Alba was always unconditionally on that Mica''s side and protected her. -It is clear that this Mica is not worthy of my Joel! -udia angrily refuted. Alba gave udia, who was wearing a lot of makeup, a scornful look and said: -Yes, it looks like you two are a good match, a perfect match! Hearing this, udia raised her chin proudly without realizing the sarcasm in Alba''s words at all. When they were in college, except for Mica herself, everyone knew Joel''s feelings for Mica. Now, after hearing Alba''s mocking words, Joel was quite embarrassed. He coughed dryly and tried to speak in a light tone: -It''s just that I finally feel udia''s affection for me. Alba, you don''t want me, your former ssmate, to remain a bachelor until old age, do you? Then he looked at his girlfriend and said: -Go and pick out dresses you like. udia walked haughtily past Alba and headed for those rows of clothes. Joel just wanted Alba to know that it was a shame for her best friend, Mica, to have lost such an outstanding man as himself! At this moment, Mica opened the door and stepped out of the approver with her dress neatly draped over her. Instantly, almost every customer in the store turned their attention to Mica as they saw her elegantly exiting the fitting room. Light green was not amon color used in dresses, but this dress looked surprisingly good on Mica, further highlighting her fair, delicate skin, and the cut at the waist further emphasized her slender, attractive figure. Alba looked at her friend, smiled a very satisfied smile. Then she nced sideways at Joel, and found that this guy was staring dazedly at Mica, as if petrified. Several customers to the side couldn''t help but stare at Mica and eximed in English: -She looked so beautiful and elegant in this dress. At this moment, udia approached her boyfriend with a skirt in her hand, but she saw that this guy was looking in one direction without moving. She followed his sight, saw first that elegant dress, and then found Mica''s face. "It''s that Mica, has shee to Mangzarent Nation too! No wonder Joel is looking in that direction without blinking!" udia became so furious and jealous that she called the sales clerk, pointed at Mica and -Give me another dress like this one! The sales clerk answered her in somewhat blunt Spanish: -Excuse me, miss, this dress is the work of a famous Italian designer and we only have one in our store. It wasn''t until that moment that Mica recognized udia and Joel in the crowd. Then she looked with some confusion towards Alba, who exined: -They came in when you were in the fitting room. What a coincidence, isn''t it? After hearing Alba''s words, Mica nodded her head in greeting, after all, they were her old ssmates. Joel immediately sketched a smile that he thought was very attractive himself, but Mica didn''t see it, because Alba had already taken her in front of the mirror. Joel''s smile disappeared instantly. "Why didn''t Mica ever pay attention to me!" On the side, udia got even angrier seeing her boyfriend showing such an expression. "What''s so good about that damn Mica, why is Joel looking like he''s lost his soul after seeing her, it must be that that dress she''s wearing is too shy!" Thinking about this, udia motioned to the sales clerk.... -It''s very pretty, isn''t it? -Alba asked Mica. Mica looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she really liked this dress a lot. It was made of silk and had a very soft touch. Also, the design was simple and elegant. -Miss, do you want this dress? If not, thatdy wants to try it on," the sales clerk stepped forward and said looking scornfully at Mica. It turned out that udia had just told the sales clerk that Mica was an orphan and had no money to buy this dress! "If you''re not able to buy it, don''t approve! What an annoying woman!" Chapter 162 : My God! Chapter 162 : My God! Chapter 162 : My God! Alba looked in the direction where udia was standing because she knew she must be the one who had let the clerk ask. udia generously admitted: -Yes, I asked her to ask. The sales clerk has very good eyesight and knows at a nce that Mica is not able to buy this dress, that''s why she wants to sell it to me. -udia, I don''t know what this sales clerk''s eyesight is like, but your eyesight has always been bad! Do you think Mica is still the same as the one you used to know? udia was stunned on the spot, thinking about the most searched news on socialworks recently. "Is this Mica really the most important artist in Garza nca?" ording to the clothing store surveince photos posted on Twitter that day, that clothing store was clearly the same one she and Joel had gone to.... "That''s impossible! ording to the report, Brinte will sign contract with that most prominent artist. But it''s been more than ten days and there''s still no news. It should be that Mica looks a bit like that outstanding artist! Besides, the trade Mica is engaged in is design instead of modeling." Now the most important thing for udia was to get that dress Mica was wearing. udia blindly believed that she too could attract Joel''s attention as long as she wore that dress that Mica was wearing on top. She wanted her boyfriend''s eyes only on herself! Besides, that mysterious man with the powerful aura fromst time wasn''t here! "Maybe, Mica has already been dumped by him!" At the thought of this possibility, udia became even more arrogant and proudly grabbed Joel''s hand and stepped forward: -Bah, I have the most potential man in Tdia by my side, why do you say my eyesight is bad? As for her, it will be very difficult to stand out from the crowd and achieve great sess working as a designer. Being praised by his girlfriend as the man with the most potential in front of others, Joel felt very proud. Hearing it, Alba mockingly rebutted her: -So you give up your career and decide to depend on her boyfriend financially? You say your boyfriend is the man with the most potential? Wow, Joel, are you that confident? Alba''s ironic questions let that couple stay very blushing? "This damn Alba still has such a bad tongue, and she still goes on talking for that unreserved Mica!" udia clenched her fists angrily. Mica didn''t want to argue with them in front of so many people just because of a dress and wanted to go to the fitting room to change clothes. -Don''t change it, just buy this one ande back with this dress on," Alba stopped her. But Mica shook her head: -I don''t like it very much, so I don''t want it anymore.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. udia was very happy to hear what Mica said and said very proudly: -Ha, ha, ha, ha! You don''t like it? Don''t pretend anymore, you obviously don''t have the money to buy it! At this moment, Alba took a card out of her purse and said loudly to the sales clerk: -Please, we''ll keep this dress! udia was a little surprised. She knew that Alba was very good with that Mica, but this dress was very expensive. Did she really want to buy it for her friend just because she was angry? Mica grabbed Alba''s hand and said: -Alba, you really don''t need to waste so much money. I have plenty of clothes at home. If she likes this dress, give it to her. This was what Mica was thinking. Yes the dress was nice and she liked it, but she didn''t like it so much that she had to buy it. -If you can''t afford it, don''t pretend anymore and take it off quickly! -udia said with a mocking tone on purpose because she herself was a bit anxious to get that dress. Suddenly, the door of the store opened again and Carlos came in, followed by Diego. -Who says we can''t afford it! udia, please speak a little politely and don''t be so rude! -Alba''s angry voice sounded. Carlos raised his head, at a nce he saw Mica in the green dress, and instantly his eyes lit up. In turn, Mica also seemed to sense his presence, she turned her head and saw the man. Everyone followed her gaze and couldn''t help but be taken aback! The man, who was approaching with long strides, had such perfect facial features and a very elegant and noble aura, leaving everyone present gaping in awe. This man was so handsome! udia and Joel unconsciously took a step back when they saw Carlos.... Thest time Joel saw him at the mall, Mica was selecting clothes for him, so he thought this man was just gigolo, but when he left the mall, what the man told him made him realize that this man, was definitely not as simple as he imagined. udia couldn''t help but stare at Carlos a few more times and, at the same time, she became more jealous knowing that Mica was still not abandoned by this man. Carlos, disregarding others, walked straight to his darling''s side and whispered in her ear: -You are very beautiful. Mica blushed slightly as she felt his breath. Alba said proudly aside: -Of course so! My dear Mica looks very pretty in any dress. However, some people think we can afford this dress! -Yes? -asked Carlos. Then Carlos cast an indifferent nce at the couple, naturally took Mica''s hand, and walked slowly with her around the store, looking as if he was selecting clothes.... Diego, who was standing to one side, wanted to say something to his master, but restrained himself at Mica lowered her voice and asked Carlos: -What are you doing? I''m not out of clothes... All the spectators consciously stepped back and gave way to the two. Alba followed the two of them curiously. "Mr. Aguayo wants to pick out clothes for Mica personally?" Then it was seen that the man took a set of skirts and handed it to the sales clerk. Thetter, who was attracted by Carlos'' handsome face, hurried to take the clothes from his hand, thinking that this must be some powerful personage. Then Carlos continued walking forward with Mica, took another dress and handed it to the clerk, and then another dress.... Alba was a little confused. The clothes he chose were very nice, but they were not Mica''s style! Mica did not like this style.... Mica, who was nervous, didn''t have time to see which dresses Carlos had selected, and shook his hand lightly, indicating that they were enough, but Carlos addressed the sales clerk in very fluent English: -Please wrap for me all the limited edition dresses in the store. -Oh my God! Everyone in the store was stunned to hear the man''s demand! Chapter 163 : I DidnT Expect This Woman To Have The Black Card! Chapter 163 : I Didn''T Expect This Woman To Have The ck Card! Chapter 163 : I didn''t expect this woman to have the ck Card! udia understood. She gritted her teeth in surprise and jealousy, while Joel waspletely lost. He got into the university in a cheating way using money, that''s why he was uneducated and it was hard for him to understand him..... Alba was also surprised, Mr. Aguayo was so generous! It seems that Mica told the truth that he had a lot of clothes. Looking at udia and Joel, Alba kindly exined: -Except for these, pack the minimum size of every color of every style of clothing. Seeing Joel''s amazement, Alba smiled proudly. The employee was so happy that she rushed to ask other employees to pack all the clothes excitedly. -How can you buy clothes like that? Mica looked at Carlos speechless. Carlos looked at Mica and said calmly: -I want them to know through my actions that I will buy everything for you as long as you want it. So Carlos heard what udia had just said? Mica looked at Carlos suspiciously. -How can I put up with others humiliating my sweetheart that I love so much! Looking at the two looking at each other, Alba was moved and sighed in her heart. "If someone helps me when I am mistreated, it will be worth my life!" Was she being humiliated? Mica shook her head hastily: -Nobody humiliates me. She loves this skirt, and I don''t like it very much. If she wants it, she can buy it....". Mica was always reasonable and didn''t like to cause trouble. -Mr. Aguayo, it''s true that someone is harassing Mica! Alba was not afraid of causing trouble. Carlos immediately looked at udia and Joel, with a cold look, which made them shiver slightly. This person had a strong feeling of oppression ... udia nodded and exined at once: -I didn''t do anything. It was Mica who said she didn''t want this skirt, so I asked her to take it off and give it to me .... Carlos heard that udia was shouting at Mica difortingly as she entered the store, but he didn''t want to talk nonsense with udia, and just told her in a low voice: -Apologize to Mica. udia resisted and looked to her boyfriend for help, but Joel was hesitant when Alba called Carlos el Mr. Aguayo? Mr. Aguayo? Was that Mr. Aguayo? Mr. Aguayo, was he the one who upies the first ce of the three main families in Tdia? Seeing that her boyfriend was ignoring her, udia gritted her teeth and said: -I''m sorry. -And that employee should apologize too! Alba pointed to the employee who looked down on Mica. Diego also looked at her. This employee was packing the clothes emotionally, while thinking that today''s performance was a new record over the years. The bonus should be very significant. So she sank into joy. Carlos looked at the employee and gestured to Diego, who immediately understood and took out his cell phone. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. -What did you ask Diego to do? -Mica didn''t know what happened, looked at Carlos and asked. -You will know soon. -Carlos lifted the corner of his mouth. The employee approached them with a smile and said very kindly: -Dear sir, madam, your clothes have been well packed. Mica ran out of remedies. How long could she finish taking all these clothes? Carlos suddenly said to Mica: -Honey, pay for it. your partner just said you can''t afford it, right? Buy it so she can see it. How? Both udia and Joel looked at Mica with surprise. Did she buy it herself? How could she have so much money? Even Alba was puzzled. She wanted udia and Joel to be embarrassed to see Mica''s real position. She understood. However, all these clothes didn''t cost much money at all. Mr. Aguayo, what did you want to make of Vera? Mica looked at the clothes packed on the counter, looked at Carlos withints and took her purse in Alba''s hand.... Of course she couldn''t pay for it herself, Carlos did it on purpose! He just wanted her to pay for it with his card! Mica took out Carlos'' ck Card in her wallet, and handed it to the employee. The clerk took the card in surprise. My goodness, the ck Card looked very strange even in the Mangzarent Nation! Unexpectedly this woman had a ck Card! Immediately, she felt ashamed that she had belittled her at that moment, lowered her head and collected the bill. Alba understood. It turned out that Mr. Aguayo had given the card to Mica again, so she chuckled with satisfaction. "Mica, you have found a treasure. Carlos really cares about you." Joel confirmed her assumption even more. He took a big step back, by God, it was really Mr. Aguayo! Thinking back to thest time when he was at the mall, his attitude towards Mr. Aguayo, as well as what Mr. Aguayo said, which made Joel''s calves tremble.... Diego had finished the phone call, approached them and whispered to Carlos with a worried look: -Sir, let''s get out. You have stayed here for a long time.... -Did you do well what I asked you to do? -Carlos ignored what he said, and asked instead. -Yes. Just as he was speaking, the store phone rang. One of the employees answered it, then hung up the phone in surprise and said something to the employee who despised Mica earlier. And that employee rushed to Mica in fright, handed her the ck Card with both hands and said to Mica with tears: -I''m sorry, Miss. It''s my fault. I shouldn''t belittle you. I''m sorry. Please forgive me. Don''t fire me... udia looked at Carlos with surprise. Who was this man? Did he have the right to fire employees? Mica took the card and saw how sad the employee was crying. What she said surprised Mica. -Carlos, in fact, she did nothing wrong, so there is no need to fire her? -said Mica. -I don''t allow anyone to humiliate you, otherwise, I will make her regret it. Carlos said seriously, took Mica''s hand and left the store. Alba followed them at once, leaving udia and Joel standing there stunned, as well as the employee crying ... Diego wanted to exin where to send the clothes, so he also left the store. She didn''t know why, Mica thought Carlos'' back looked nervous. It looked like he was repressing something .... Carlos thought about the bastard who hurt Mica! He had asked his subordinate inside the country to search to make an investigation of this bastard the night before, but he still didn''t find him anything. It seemed that he could only take the opportunity to talk to Alba, or find that hypnotist ... Later, Carlos had dinner with Mica, Alba and Diego. When night fell, they arrived at arge square, in the center of which stood a musical fountain. Above it, there was a wide river with a constant flow. On the river floated rowboats. On the opposite side of the river was argewn with many flowers nted. The scenery was very beautiful. Mica and Alba held hands, looked at the curtain of water from the fountain and said, "How beautiful the scenery was: -How beautiful the scenery was! Chapter 164 : They Showed The World How Much They Loved Each Other Wherever And Whenever. Chapter 164 : They Showed The World How Much They Loved Each Other Wherever And Whenever. Chapter 164 : They showed the world how much they loved each other wherever and whenever. The fountain pool was in the shape of an arch. The center of the square was the size of a basketball court. Due to the illumination of the lights, the fountain water sprayed into the night sky, which looked beautiful and colorful. But it was not only in the fountain pool that had water, but there were also the water jets such as the hidden fountain in the square outside the pool. The hidden fountain sprayed water from time to time, which caused the people standing nearby to shout and cheer endlessly. The two strolled around the square, watching the people around them suddenly being sprayed by the jets of water, shouting and jumping, andughing merrily. -Alba, be careful! Mica pulled Alba back, and the invisible fountain on the floor suddenly sprayed water. Fortunately, Mica pulled Alba away from the spray in time, otherwise she would have been soaked. The people next to her were not so lucky, who jumped up screaming andughed again. -Haha. It''s funny, it''s simr to Whac-A-Mole! This interested Alba. She pulled Mica and wandered around where the water jets were deliberately ced, and escaped before the water sprayed. The breeze in the za slowly blew the water from the fountain, causing it to form a curtain of water, as if the whole za was drizzling.... Carlos and Diego walked behind, seeing the two girls running with smiles, so they caught their joy. -Sir, you haven''t rested until now. Let''s get back sooner than expected, okay? Diego looked at Carlos with concern. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -Well. Call them to bring the helicopter. We''ll be back in the countryter.... As he spoke, Carlos hurried towards Mica, hugging the girl''s waist and turning around. The fountain at Mica''s foot instantly sprayed water. The surrounding passengers were attracted to this scene: A beautiful woman in a green skirt turned around, whose waist was hugged by the arm of the handsome man in a ck shirt. The woman''s long hair was flying and the fountain on the ground sprayed, as if it became a background, making this image beautiful and romantic. Alba, who was standing not far away from them, was ying with her cell phone, so she took the picture for this touching scene right away. She looked at the two people on the cell phone screen, who were such a perfect couple, and the man''s gaze towards Mica was so loving.... An inexplicable emotion fermented in her heart. Alba looked away abruptly, put the photo away, and rushed towards them. Mica hugged Carlos'' neck unconsciously. Seeing the stream of water spray upward behind Carlos, as tall as a person, Mica''s gaze at the man was filled with admiration. Staring into her sparkling eyes, Carlos wanted to kiss her red lips. However, out of the corner of his eye he saw Alba running towards them, there was no choice but to stop kissing her and help Mica to her feet. -You show the world how much you love each other anywhere, anytime! -Alba teased them. Mica blushed. More passengers wereing into the square. They all liked to approach the hidden fountains that suddenly attacked them, and from time to time they could hear the cheers andughter. Carlos reached out and stroked the top of Mica''s head, the spray from the fountain had already soaked Mica''s hair. -Come on, let''s paddle! Saying that, Carlos took Mica''s hand and went to the river bank. Alba and Diego, who had just finished calling, also followed them. -Mr. Aguayo mimado, boga is a hard job. Are you sure you can row? -Miss Alba, you have me, don''t you? I''m strong! -Diego said smiling. -Diego, you''re a chatan! Don''t screw upter! -Albaughed. The four of them got into the skiff, which was just big enough for four people. The seats faced each other, and each seat had oars. Carlos looked at Mica, who was sitting opposite and said: -Sit down carefully. Mica nodded, very excited. Grabbing the oar, she was eager to give it a try. It was her first time sitting in the skiff. Alba was also very happy. The two girls paddled randomly and the skiff turned in the water, headed for the opposite shore, while there was a tendency to float along the river below because of the current. It was also the first time he had paddled, so he was a bit confused.... Mica looked at Carlos discouraged. Carlos leaned over to Mica, covered his small hand holding the paddle with hisrge one, and nced at Alba to get her attention: -Well, row in this direction together. It doesn''t take much strength. Diego and I are in control of the direction, do I make myself clear? Carlos said as he demonstrated, and Alba did the same. The skiff really stopped turning. Carlos let go of Mica''s hand, grabbed his own paddle, showing Diego: -We row to this direction, Like this. Right. Diego facially expressed that he understood. ording to what Carlos said, the skiff sailed in a straight line. -Okay. Let''s cooperate with tacit agreement, and we''ll get to the other side soon," Carlos looked at Mica: -This can be called "Arrimamos el hombro"! -Alba said smiling. Another paddle appeared next to her, in which there were also two men and two women, and everyone''s hair was blond. A man in a white T-shirt shouted to Carlos in English: -Hello! We''re going to y a little game. Whoever gets to the opposite shore first has to give the other party a little promise, okay? Alba immediately became interested and answered aloud without waiting for herpanions: -Okay, why not, what''s the promise? The man in the white T-shirt looked at Mica and said: -If we win, let the beauty in the green skirt kiss me! -Shit, Kant, how fearless you are! -Haha. Even if you are fascinated by her, you have to check if she has a boyfriend or not! -his friends joked. Mica blushed slightly, then she saw that Carlos became cold little by little. Alba suddenly regretted, she didn''t expect the bet to be Mica! Not to mention her, her boyfriend would definitely not agree? -What if we win? Carlos asked coldly in English, which surprised everyone else on the boat. The man looked confident. He was an expert at rowing, how could he lose the game? Therefore, he told Carlos arrogantly: -I will fulfill any promise you present! That woman is so beautiful, with an outstanding temperament. She was like a beautiful lily. He affirmed that he would get her kiss! -Okay, let''s get ready to start it! -Carlos epted the fight right away. Mica, Alba and Diego were even more surprised! Mica bit her lips. Carlos would not agree to her kissing that man. She had already gotten to know his dominant personality well. But where did Carlos get the confidence? Why did he say we would definitely win? Carlos and Diego had their backs to the shore. Carlos looked back to determine the distance, then eyed the surface of the water carefully. He turned to stare at Mica and said quietly: -If we win, kiss me, Mica. -And if we lose? -Mica''s face turned red. -All right. Sir, you''ve never rowed before. If you lose, it will be a scandal when you are in the Mangzarent Nation, won''t it? -Diego also became anxious. -Mica and I also rowed for the first time. If I had known this result, we wouldn''t have made this bet. Mica, I''m sorry..." Alba also regretted it. Carlos looked at Diego and said sternly: -In case we lose, Diego, put on Mica''s skirt and kiss that man!- Chapter 165 : Kiss Me Chapter 165 : Kiss Me Chapter 165 : Kiss Me -Haha. That''s a good idea! -Albaughed immediately: Diego suddenly had a sudden breakdown. When the people on the shore heard their discussion, they all crowded around. Some people immediately jumped into a skiff and wanted to watch the whole game. A passenger acted as a referee and signaled the two skiffs to get ready. Following the referee''s order, both skiffs paddled toward the opposite shore. Diego wielded the paddle vigorously without carelessness - his first kiss could not be given to a person with a penis! Not to be left behind, the two girls exerted all their strength, while feeling a little nervous, but also very amused and excited. The atmosphere was very lively in the skiff, as they paddled, they shouted to cheer themselves up. Mica stared at Carlos, whose arms swung back and forth regrly. He was charming as the man pursed his thin lips with a serious expression.... Mica immediately lowered her head, blushed and secretly scolded herself that she was a nymphomaniac. Carlos smiled... -Maria, look. That man is handsome! -Okay. My God! How handsome! The two girls in the rival skiff drooled when they saw Carlos'' sideways face, which caused the two partners to shout: -Hey! What''s wrong with you guys? Come on, let''s row hard! The two skiffs advanced shoulder to shoulder. -If we win, you''re the person who gets the kiss from the pretty girl, and we have nothing to win. -That''s right, thinking we''re exhausted just to help you flirt with the girl. I''d rather appreciate the cute guy. The two girls looked at Carlos with enthusiasm. He was so attractive... -Are you silly? If we win, let that man kiss them! The two girls were attracted by this proposal: -And if he''s not willing? The one in the white T-shirt shouted: -For that man will not suffer a loss to kiss you. He will agree without a doubt, but we have to win first! The two girls immediately began to row in earnest. Mica also listened to their conversation. She angrily thought that she would not let Carlos kiss them. -Yes. Mr. Aguayo can only kiss Mica, how could he kiss other unknown girls? Cheer up, Mica! Alba paddled hard and said loudly. Mica blushed instantly and looked at Carlos, She only thought secretly, didn''t she? Did she say so? Carlos was in a good mood, looking at Mica with loving eyes, and said in a low voice: -Tontita. Mica''s face turned redder, she looked away and paddled harder. More and more skiffs got into the river, and followed them, talking about who would win, and some people even made bets. The rival skiff quickly overtook Mica''s skiff, maintaining the distance advantage of a skiff. The blond man in the white shirt whistled to Mica proudly. -Carlos, what can we do? We''re outnumbered... -Mica became worried: -Don''t you want Diego to kiss him? Mica didn''t know if she was going tough or cry. If they lost the game, they had to keep the promise, how could they agree that Diego who changed the clothes kissed that man? -Tontita, we won''t lose," Carlos said, stopped rowing and grabbed Mica''s hand to stop her from rowing anymore, then he looked at Diego and said: -Row harder. I will give you three days off if we win. Of course Diego made more effort, but why didn''t the rest of them continue rowing except for Diego? The blond man in the white shirt knew right away that their bow wasing towards his stern to try to Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. bump it. Boy, how could he not know this little trick! He immediately tried harder to steer the skiff, turning the bow to avoid the collision. However, he didn''t expect that under the calm water he actually had an undercurrent! The skiff entered the undercurrent right by his operation, and the skiff immediately lost its steering in a circle! -Ah! What''s going on? -Mike, what are you doing? It''s over! The men and women in his boat shouted reproachfully. -Right now, let''s go ahead! Carlos said suddenly, grabbed the oar and paddled hard. The three also knew the situation and immediately used all their strength to row. When the skiff emerged from the undercurrent, Carlos'' skiff had already reached the shore. -Bravo! We won! Alba jumped ashore, cheered for the victory and patted Diego, who had justnded on shore, on the back and said with a smile: -Diego, congrattions, you have sessfully defended your innocence! -Yes. Thanks to Miss Alba for helping me maintain my "innocence"! -Diego shrugged his shoulders and said. -I deserve more credit. I deserve more credit. Your thanks is not enough! -Alba joked. -Then I''ll thank you with my "innocence"! As soon as Diego''s words came out, he himself was stunned! Alba looked at Diego as if she were looking at a being from another world. -Diego, can you unexpectedly flirt with girls? Since you look very serious on everyday days. Diego blushed and stood in the dark so that others could not see his expression clearly: -I have probably been influenced by Mr. Aguayo..... Alba nodded seriously. -Well, you have to study more with Mr. Aguayo! Carlos carefully protected Mica as she reached the destination. The skiffs that wereunched together into the water alsonded one after the other. and they all discussed: -It is sensible for this man who drove the skiff into the undercurrent deliberately. -They all argued about the match. -He is a person who has great talent and excellent strategy! -His opponent only uses brute force. No wonder he loses the game! Mica looked at Carlos with surprise and saw that his face seemed to be a little red. Was it probably caused by being too tired from rowing? -Did you know long ago that there was an undercurrent there? -Without thinking much about it, Mica asked him. Carlos took Mica in his arms and deliberately said in English: -Kiss me. The people who gathered cheered: -Kiss! -Kiss! Diego and Alba also stood together, smiled and looked at Mica''s blushing cheeks. Mica was encouraged to lean in, she lightly kissed Carlos'' thin lips. Just as she was about to pull away, Carlos held the back of her head, kissing Mica deeply.... On the other side of the river, fireworks suddenly went off, lighting up the night sky. Under this wonderful scene, the two embraced kissing. Many people took cell phone pictures of them, including Alba and Diego. -How romantic! -How happy they are! *** Everyoneughed and discussed. This picture was so beautiful that the passengers also felt happy. Carlos let go of Mica, and Mica buried her face in Carlos''s chest at once.... She had already dared to make such an intimate gesture in front of the public under Carlos''s influence.... Carlos stroked Mica''s long hair with a smile. Seeing all the people in another skiff came ashore one after another. Carlos took Mica''s hand and stepped forward. Carlos looked at the man who wanted Mica to kiss him, and said in English: -Can I say my requirement now? The man with blond hair agreed. He should keep the promise after losing the game, but he still secretly looked at Mica. -Turn around -Carlos turned even colder and said. The man turned around, but he did not understand why Carlos demanded so. He was in front of the river, where the beautiful fireworks were still visible. Carlos raised his long legs and kicked the man into the river with one kick! Chapter 166 : Carlos, You Had A Fever! Chapter 166 : Carlos, You Had A Fever! Chapter 166 : Carlos, you had a fever! The man fell into the water, and water sshed everywhere. He dared to pretend to Mica! The crowd became boisterous again: -That person just said he wanted the woman to kiss him after winning the game! -Haha. Now he deserves what he suffers. He asks the girl for the kiss without her boyfriend''s consent! The two women who wanted the kiss from Carlos after winning the game also kept quiet. That was a dominant man! Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. The man struggled in the water and climbed to the shore with the help of his friend. Carlos was already gone with Mica in his arms. On thewn in the distance, a private helicopter was parked there. Upon discovering that Carlos was taking her directly to the helicopter, Mica and asked astonished: -Carlos, is that your ne? Shall we go back helicopter? Mica looked at Alba with affection. Four people stand in front of the ne. Alba pulled a beautifully packaged small box out of her purse and handed it to Mica as a gift: -Mica, this is the birthday present I should have given you yesterday. Mica took it touched, hugged Alba and wet the corners of her eyes: -Alba, I don''t want to be separated from you. -I''ll be back in a few days. Wait for me at home. Alba would finish her study here in a few days and could return to the country. -Okay..." Mica nodded and let Alba go. -Miss Alba, we sent a car to take you back to the university. Diego said, as he gestured towards a ck car that was not far from them. -Well. I''ll say goodbye to you in the helicopter and leave," said Alba. Diego got on the helicopter first. Thinking that he would be able to see her every day when Alba returned in a few days, Mica also climbed firmly and looked at Alba with affection. Carlos was thest to board the helicopter. Seeing that Mica had sat in the seat arranged by Diego, Carlos turned around and said to Alba: -On the matter of Mica being injured, organize everything you know. I''ll get back to youter. Alba looked at him and nodded. Carlos climbed into the helicopter and closed the door. The huge flow of air scattered everyone around. Alba walked further and watched the helicopter slowly take off, flying higher and higher every second until she couldn''t see it. She felt a little empty in her heart. She opened the photo album on her cell phone and sent the photo to Mica, in which Mica and Carlos kissed. The next photo is taken next to the fountain. Alba looked at it, paused, closed the album and walked towards the car that was waiting for her.... The interior of the helicopter was very luxurious and clean, with ample space, which could carry six people. To the left was a seat in each row, and to the right were two seats in each row. In the middle was the passageway. The plush red armchair was particrly soft andfortable. Mica leaned against the window and looked out the window until she could see nothing clearly except the dim light. This was what it felt like in a helicopter. Mica felt refreshed, also a little mncholy at being separated from her friend. Carlos sat down next to her and kneaded her forehead. Mica noticed his action and asked him with concern: -What''s wrong, does your face look a little red? Diego quickly straightened up and looked at Carlos with concern.... It was possible that the gentleman was staying in the women''s clothing store for a long time in the afternoon. Although the fragrance of the perfume was not strong, for Mr. Aguayo.... -It''s all right. It''s just hot. Carlos said in a low voice and then asked: -Why don''t you open the box your best friend gave you? Mica suspected Carlos'' intention, but couldn''t help but open the gift with a curious look. Diego sat down again. There was no medicine prepared in the helicopter and Mr. Aguayo didn''t mention his illness at all. He was afraid Miss Noboa would worry about him, wasn''t he? He wished Mr. Aguayo could hide his difort until he got home. Diego thought anxiously. Mica opened the package and there was a very delicate bracelet in the box. Was it designed by Alba? Mica picked up the bracelet happily, and looked at it carefully. She loved it very much. She turned around and said to Carlos: -Help me put it on. Carlos put it on her left wrist, and felt jealous. She had never worn the jewelry he had given her, and she had already put it in one of the drawers of her dresser, but probably Mica had not found it yet, had she? It was the truth. Mica had never found them. -This one is designed by Alba? -Yes! Mica looked at the bracelet on her wrist with a smile. -You only wear the jewelry designed by the very person who gave you the gift, don''t you? -Carlos became even more jealous and asked her. Mica was puzzled, but still answered him: -Alba made this bracelet with her love. Look, there are eleven beads in all, and there are ten little hollow chains, and the number that adds up is my age, and.... Carlos raised his eyebrows and listened to her continue saying. She didn''t wear the jewelry he gave her because she didn''t select it lovingly, did she? At this moment Carlos had a decision in his heart. When Mica admired the bracelet, she discovered that Carlos had not said anything. She turned her head and saw that Carlos had fallen asleep. He simply sat up leaning against the chair back, crossed his long legs, leaned his head toward Mica, pursed his thin lips tightly and took a deep breath. Mica took the nket at her side and covered the man with it gently.... Then she looked at his sleeping face, whose eyshes were so long and beautiful, and his thin lips were so beautiful.... Mica blushed and looked away from Carlos. Not long after she felt sleepy, Mica fell asleep, until a familiar low voice sounded close to her ear: -Lazy little piggy, get up. Here we are. Mica opened her eyes and realized that she was in Carlos'' arms! Carlos didn''t want to wake her up, but to take her to the inner room so that she would continue sleeping, but at this moment, it seemed that he didn''t have the strength. He was afraid that she would fall to the floor in his arms.... -Come on. Carlos took Mica''s hand and got off the helicopter. Mica looked around, here was the top floor of the Aguayo group''s building! Mica looked at the bright sun and was stunned. After calcting the time difference, she estimated that it should be between 1 and 2 pm. Carlos took her hand and walked towards the stairs. His hands were very warm! Mica was shocked, she thought her face turned redder than ever just now! -Carlos, what''s wrong? Are you sick? -Mica asked with concern. Diego had already opened the door to go downstairs, but he held his tongue. -It''s all right," Carlos answered. Take her to the elevator. Mica didn''t believe it, reached out and touched Carlos'' forehead, eximing: -Carlos, you have a fever! Her cool little hands made Carlos feel better. Seeing her anxious look, he felt very happy, and hugged her to his side. -It''s all right. I''ll take some antipyretics. -But why do you have a fever? You look very healthy. All she could assume was that he would be too tired, because his eyes were bloodshot. Carlos probably barely took a break on the way there and back. So, he fell asleep in a little while just now! Chapter 167 : Well, It Was My Fault. Chapter 167 : Well, It Was My Fault. Chapter 167 : Well, it was my fault. The elevator door opened after a while and they arrived directly on the floor where Carlos'' office was located. Carlos wanted to get out of the elevator as he hugged her, but Mica rejected him, and pressed the button to close the door and went to the second floor with Carlos. -Mica said, "You have a fever and your temperature is very high. You should go home and get a good rest. -All right, sir. You should rest well. I''ll take him back first. No need to worry aboutpany business. I wanted to persuade Carlos to rest, but the workaholic Mr. Aguayo had always been disciplined and principled. Diego didn''t dare say anything, but Mica mentioned it and was quick to persuade him. Carlos looked at Mica, and the concern in her eyes was on the verge of overflowing, which moved him. How could he be willing to refuse her concern? The elevator went straight to the subway garage, Diego hurriedly drove a car, and the two of them got into it. Mica couldn''t help but put her small hand back on the man''s forehead. The temperature was so high... -Diego, what do you say we go to the hospital now? Mica''s voice trembled involuntarily. Knowing he was sick, she med herself a lot. Why didn''t she notice it before? She clearly noticed that the color of his face was abnormal, but she didn''t pay attention to that? The more she thought about it, the more she med herself, and Mica''s tears rolled. Carlos'' eyes that were clear and sharp when he was healthy were blurry at this moment. Seeing this, Mica couldn''t help but feel even more worried.... -No need. Let''s fly to Nyisrenda! -Carlos felt dissatisfied. Unexpectedly Mica did not consult him but Diego. -You''re a patient. You have to adopt the advice of others! You don''t say anything even when you don''t feel well. Do you know that health is the most important thing? Mica looked at Carlos with anxiety, and the tears in her eyes rolled unexpectedly, while there were more tears in her clear eyes, which were full of usation, guilt and concern for him.... Carlos immediately turned soft at the sight of her tears. He hugged her andforted her softly: -Well. It''s my fault. I should have said earlier that I was feeling bad and I shouldn''t make you worry about me. Nyisrenda has a family doctor who knows more about my condition than the hospital.... Carlos paused and said nothing more. Mica paid no attention to his silence, and only heard that there was a doctor in Nyisrenda, Carlos'' temperature was so high that his whole body was like a stove. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. As soon as the car stopped, Mica quickly got out and ran to Carlos'' side to help him get out. Earlier Carlos thought he could handle it. He also wanted to take care of urgent business in the afternoon and then he was going to the doctor in the evening. However, Mica was very worried about him. Unlike it was in ordinary times, Mica took the initiative to approach him and wrapped her arms around his waist, and Carlos put his arms around the girl''s shoulders and leaned against her.... Walking behind, Diego thought that he should not be here right now.... Sofia came out of the house and was surprised to see Carlos leaning on Mica with a flushed face. -Sir, what''s wrong with you? Sofia rushed forward, trying to hold Carlos with her arm along with Mica, but Carlos rejected her without anyone noticing. -Sofia, Carlos has a fever. Diego notified the doctor toe. I helped him upstairs to rest. If the doctor Mica helped Carlos up the stairs without stopping or noticing that Sofia and Diego were together and whispering: -What''s wrong? Miss Noboa never wears perfume! -It''s hard to exin. Go and prepare the light meal that the gentleman likes. Sofia quickly turned around and walked to the kitchen. Mica helped him to lie down. As soon as he rxed, Carlos felt dizzy and his eyes couldn''t open. Mica sat on the edge of the bed, put a pillow under Carlos'' head. Seeing that the man was frowning, with a red face, and not looking as well as usual, Mica caressed his face with her hands in concern and looked towards the door: -Why hasn''t the doctore yet? The cold touch on her cheek made Carlos sigh and caress the girl''s little hand. -Don''t worry. I''m fine... -Carlos said softly. -How could I not worry about you? It''s all my fault. You should have discovered me before... -Mica... Mica took her hand out, got up and went to the bathroom, took a towel, soaked it in cold water and put it on Carlos'' forehead. It was hard for Carlos to open his eyes to look at Mica: -Mica... -I''m here. Are you feeling sick? Wait a little longer... Just as Carlos was about to speak, Diego came in with the family doctor who had diagnosed Mica earlier. Mica quickly moved out of his position, and the doctor stepped forward and respectfully greeted Carlos: -Mr. Aguayo. Carlos responded by bowing his head slightly. The doctor brought the electronic thermometer close to Carlos'' forehead, put it away for a while and looked at the degree disyed: 41 degrees! The doctor looked at Diego with surprise. Diego signaled the doctor with his gaze to affirm what the doctor thought. The doctor said nothing more, and immediately opened the medicine box he was carrying and gave him an infusion. -Doctor, how many degrees have you had? -Mica did not see the degree, and had to ask him. -41 degrees. Mica looked surprised at Carlos, who was already asleep. He still wanted to work in thepany with such a fever. Why didn''t he take care of himself? -Miss Noboa, the doctor always stays downstairs. It is hard for you to take care of Mr. Noboa alone. You can ask the doctor for a favor if something happens," Diego told Mica. He had to return to the Mica agreed immediately. The doctor and Diego went out and closed the door to the room. -Fortunately, I found out that you are sick in time. If Carlos keeps up the fever, what happenedst time will happen? -That''s right. I was worried all the way back. I don''t know how to persuade him to go home to rest. Fortunately, Miss Noboa is there. The two went down the stairs one after the other. Mica sat down next to him. Carlos fell asleep and looked frail when he was sick. It was the first time she saw Carlos, who was weak, and she was not used to this. Suddenly the cell phone rang, not hers, but Carlos''. The ringing came from Carlos''forter. Was the phone in his pants pocket? Carlos frowned slightly. He seemed to be annoyed by this sound. Mica didn''t mind being coy at this moment, she lifted a corner of theforter immediately, pulled out the phone, deactivated its ringing and covered him with theforter again. Carlos unwrinkled his brow. Mica looked at the cell phone and Gael''s name appeared on the screen. It was the senior editor of Excellent Taste. Intuitively Mica thought this call was rted to her invitation to photograph the cover. They agreed to start photographing the cover tomorrow. Since no one answered, she hung up. But after a while, it rang again. Mica looked at Carlos, who was sleeping soundly, bit her lips and answered it. Before she could speak, the voice on the other end of the cell phone rang, with a pleading expression: -Carlos, no, Mr. Aguayo! I beg you, forgive me! My fault, it''s my fault! I won''t dare do it next time! Chapter 168 : Would The Patient Become Immature? Chapter 168 : Would The Patient Be Immature? Chapter 168 : Would the patient be immature? Mica became puzzled, walking to the couch on the other side of the room and saying in a low voice: -I''m sorry, I''m Mica. Carlos is sick and resting. The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then changed her tone in an instant. she abandoned the humble tone altogether and told Mica professionally: -Miss Noboa, that''s great. I finally got in touch with you. Don''t give me tter tomorrow, please, I have everything ready, and I''m just waiting for you! Mica hesitated and looked at Carlos who was lying down. I should be better tomorrow, right? -I''ll be there on time. Gael was obviously relieved, and told her in a soft tone: -Miss Noboa, what did you just say, Carlos is sick? He''s like an iron man, not resting all year. Is he sick? Probably because of the sex binge? Well... Tell him not to mark the prints on your body, especially on your neck. Although it can be covered with foundation, but our digital camera picks it up very clearly.... -If you have nothing more to tell me, I''ll hang up the call... -Mica interrupted him with a flushed face. -Don''t hang up on me! Miss Noboa, I have one more thing to ask you as a favor! Did you ask her for a favor? Mica was puzzled. Without waiting for her to ask, Gael took the initiative to tell her: -I bothered you on your date with Carlosst time, didn''t I? I deliberately talked to you contentedly, ignoring Carlos on the side. Now this guy took his revenge on me with redoubled efforts. Except when I was in thepany, as long as I hit on girls I was interested in on any asion, I was inexplicably picked on, and one boy even called me daddy! The worst thing is that when I go out with a girl I met on the Inte acquaintance, I met the police on the way to the hotel. I am not Carlos, who can be a monk for more than 20 years. I am... Finally, realizing that the person on the phone was a girl, he shut up right away, paused and continued: -Anyway, you tell Carlos that I deeply realized my guilt, and I sincerely beg him to forgive me! Mica was stunned and did not realize how she hung up the cell phone.... That day, did Gael do it on purpose? It turned out that she was concentrating on listening to the others, ignoring Carlos? She thought about it from another perspective. If Carlos talked to other girls and ignored her, she would definitely feel ufortable. Thinking about the way Carolos dealt with Gael, Mica couldn''t help but feel amused. It was an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, and it was even worse! Had he been a monk for over twenty years? Mica blushed and hurried to Carlos to divert attention. His face didn''t look as red as before. Mica felt a little relieved. She reced the towel on the man''s Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. forehead, looked again at the infusion that there wasn''t much left, and quickly called the doctor. After changing another infusion, the doctor left. Mica had nothing to do, so she changed the towel on his forehead again and again and wiped Carlos'' hands. During this period, Carlos opened his eyes, looked at Mica next to him and fell asleep peacefully. Until night fell, Sofia sent them dinner. -Miss Noboa, thank you. You attend to the Lord with such care," Sofia said gratefully. -Sofia, thank you for helping me clean the house earlier," Mica shook her head, and said shyly. -You are wee. My duty is to take care of the master''s daily life. Now I just clean the house and buy vegetables on time. I am d to have more free time. Miss Noboa, here you arrange your dishes, and the rice soup is prepared for the gentleman, put a bottle of thermal instion. If Mr. Aguayo gets up, he can take it. -Okay. Thank you. Sofia put the things down, looked back at Carlos on the bed, with an affectionate look, and went out. Without appetite, Mica ate a little casually, and put Carlos'' rice soup on the bedside table. She poured a ss of warm water, and gently woke Carlos. Carlos opened his eyes and saw Mica, unconsciously wanting to hug her. At this moment the back of his hand hurt, and he remembered that he had a fever and received an intravenous administration? -What are you doing? Be careful not to get hurt! Mica pressed his hand anxiously. Carlo''s action was so violent that the infusion bottle shook. Mica helped him up and then lifted the pillow to make him feel morefortable to lean on. The fragrance of her body was around Carlos, making him feel very calm, and the dizziness caused by the fever seemed to disappear little by little.... -Rinse yourself first -Mica picked up the ss of warm water and brought it to her lips. Carlos stared at Mica, rinsed obediently and, after rinsing, noticed that Mica left the ss, picked up the thermal instion bottle, spooned the soup, blew lightly and handed it to Carlos. Mica blushed. She fed him because she still had the syringe needle in the man''s right hand, otherwise she would be embarrassed. "Does she happen to take care of me with full attention when I''m sick?" Carlos raised his eyebrows and avoided the spoon she handed him. -Carlos, take it. Sofia prepared it particrly for you. -You have to test the temperature first. -Carlos said seriously, his voice a little hoarse. He had to test it? How? Mica was confused. She touched the spoon with her lips without thinking too much. In fact, it was still warm, so she blew on it again and tasted it with her lips before giving it to Carlos. Carlos'' eyes were full of smiles. He opened his mouth and ate it. At this point Mica realized that what they did was too intimate.... Mica turned red. Each time she fed Carlos, she blew it for longer and gave it to Carlos, and Carlos didn''t eat it, just looking at Mica. Mica''s face and ears were red. She touched the rice soup with her lips to affirm that it was not hot, and gave it to Carlos again. This time Carlos ate it... Do sick people be na?ve? Mica was speechless. She fed a bowl of rice soup to Carlos in this strange way. After cleaning it all up, Mica took the tray and sent it downstairs to Sofia. She came back into the room and saw that Carlos removed theforter and asked her toe close to him. -What''s wrong? -Help me go to the bathroom. -The doctor is still downstairs, I''ll call him! -Mica stopped hurriedly. -Come here, I''m still a little dizzy. As soon as she heard he was dizzy, Mica rushed to Carlos, removed the infusion bottle, held it up and supported the man with her arm. Carlos put his arm around Mica''s shoulders directly. It was true that he was still a little dizzy, so he stood for a while, before going to the bathroom. Standing in front of the bathroom, Carlos looked at Mica. Mica didn''t know what Carlos was going to do. Seeing the man point to his pants, Mica''s face suddenly turned red. Carlos took the bottle with his left hand and hurried her: -Quickly. Take off my belt. It''s hard for me to take it off with my left hand. -Carlos... -Mica''s face was even redder and she bit her lips. -Don''t call anyone. Are you sure you want me to show the others? Chapter 169 : YouLl Have To Learn That. Now You Do It Beforehand. Chapter 169 : You''Ll Have To Learn That. Now You Do It Beforehand. Chapter 169 : You''ll have to learn that. Now you do it beforehand. -Don''t you tell me anymore! -Mica wanted to shut him up so she could concentrate on undoing the belt. With her head lowered, she worried a lot without being able to seed because she had not met him before.... -Take this," Carlos finally spoke because he no longer wanted to y jokes on her. She raised her head and took the infusion. Carlos took her hand and put it on the buckle. With a light pressure, he loosened the belt.... Mica understood that the belt had a switch. -You do it on purpose! You can undo it on your own! -Mica looked at him angrily. -You''ll have to learn that. Now you''re doing it beforehand," Carlos returned her gaze with a sly smile. "Why do I have to learn that, what no!" She was very annoyed. But since he was sick that he couldn''t do anything, she just fixed him angrily. -You have to look at me... -Carlos didn''t fully tell her what he wanted to say. Reddened, Mica closed her eyes and turned her head to the side. "I don''t see anything, I don''t hear anything..." The sound of the bathroom was heard, Mica still didn''t dare to open her eyes until Carlos hugged her. She saw that Carlos approached her and left her after touching her on the lips lightly. Looking at that Mica was embarrassed with her eyes closed, it was a pity without doing anything with her. But since he had a fever, he only gave her a light kiss so as not to infect her.... -Carlos took the infusion from Mica and left holding her. Mica hurriedly followed him because of his touching act. Noticing that there was not much water left, she called the doctor. The doctor measured Carlos'' temperature again and it turned out that he still had a slight fever. Usually, the infusion was no longer needed for this condition. However, Carlos'' situation was different. In order for the infusion not to be needed, his temperature had to be reduced to a normal value and not return to what it had been before. Therefore, the doctor gave him another infusion and took out the prescribed medication. And Mica poured him a warm water. -Mica, here is the thermometer. Measure her temperature after half an hour -she saw Carlos finish the medicine, the doctor said to Mica. -Do I pay you to rest here? -Carlos asked coldly. -I am going to measure her temperature after half an hour," the doctor rushed to answer her respectfully and left. Actually, he only said that so as not to disturb them. -Rest -Carlos looked at Mica. He traveled frequently, so he could adapt quickly to the time difference. But she couldn''t and she needed to rest. -It doesn''t matter, I''m here with you.... -Sitting by the bed, Mica shook her head. -Okay, then, take a shower ande with me to sleep," Carlos said in her ear. Immediately Mica blushed and her heart began to beat fast. She saw the full infusion and thought it would not be finished when she returned. -Well," she stood up and escaped from Carlos''s room.... As she reached her room and understood the light, it urred to Mica that they had taken all her clothes to Barrio Fann, including her pajamas! But she still subconsciously went to the closet to see if there were any left. Much to her surprise, she took a step back to find that the closet was full of clothes. She realized they were all her favorite size and style! Mica thought that was pretty amazing. She opened the drawer where the underwear was deposited, and discovered that it too was full of the neat underwear! Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. She had hung the clothes they had taken from here to the Fann Neighborhood in the closet. So, were all new clothes in this closet purchased by Carlos? When did she do it? What could she do with this boyfriend who liked to buy her clothes? After showering and drying her hair, half an hour had passed. When Mica opened the door, she saw that the doctor came out of Carlos'' room and also out of the fence directly. Confused, Mica entered Carlos'' room and saw that he was no longer with the infusion. Dressed in a bathrobe, he was talking on the phone. It looked like he had taken a shower. Carlos did not hear her. But he smelled her scent and turned around. -Did your fever go down? Have all the doctors left? How can you take a bath when you have a fever? It''s easy to get cold..." Mica approached him and asked worriedly. -Yes, I feel fine now," Carlosforted her, touching her forehead with his own. Mica felt a little nervous, but she did not run away from him but felt his temperature on her forehead seriously. She calmed down after assuring that her forehead was not hot but a little cool. -So, are you still feeling dizzy? Do you have any other difort? -Chiquita, I''m happy -seeing that she was worried about himself, Carlos hugged her with effort. But she didn''t understand why he felt happy with the fever. Carlos did not exin and held her in his arms for a long time before releasing her. He couldn''t get enough of smelling the scent mixed with shower gel exhaled from her. He guided her to the bed indicating it was time to sleep. Restless, she kicked off her shoes and climbed into bed. Carlosy down next to her. He turned off the light and took her in his arms. Actually, it was still very early and they didn''t have to sleep now. And he still had a slight but not noticeable fever. Mica had just returned from Mangzarent Nation and had already been taking care of him all afternoon, so he wanted her to rest earlier. He also knew that she could not sleep peacefully if he still had a fever. Therefore, she had asked the doctor to leave. He also didn''t want the doctor toe in and see Mica sleeping in the middle of the night. Mica''s heart was beating fast. She did not know why the terrible scene of the birthday night came to her again.... Feeling the stiffness of Mica''s body, Carlos thought she must be thinking about something. -Did Gael call? -He spoke to distract her. -Yes, he called this afternoon. As you were sleeping, I answered. He told me that tomorrow they have to take pictures of me for the cover," Mica said. -Okay, I''ll take you there tomorrow. Carlos'' jaw was on top of Mica''s head and she was gradually rxing. -He also said to leave him alone, please," Mica said after a while. Chapter 170 : I Would Have Fainted By Now If It Were Me! Chapter 170 : I Would Have Fainted By Now If It Were Me! Chapter 170 : I would have fainted by now if it were me! -Yes? Hearing Carlos'' suspicion, Mica raised her head a little and bumped it against his chin. She blushed, which Carlos didn''t notice thanks to the turned off light. -Did you have them y with her? -Yes," Carlos acknowledged directly. Thinking that Carlos'' jealous behavior was very childish and overbearing, Mica put her face on his shoulder shyly. -Well, let it go. He says he already knows his guilt. -Well, I''m listening," smelling the scent of her hair, Carlos hugged her tighter. -When did you buy me so many clothes again? When? -The night you left here," Carlos reflected and said. Mica was touched. Was he so sure she woulde back? -Don''t buy me clothes, it''s too much. I can''t wear so many clothes..." She hugged his waist. Carlos smiled because she was so special. -I like buying you clothes," he touched her head with his chin. At Carlos'' words, Mica waspletely lodged and soon fell asleep. Hearing her light breathing, Carlos realized that she had fallen asleep. And Mica had put her hands and feet on him..... He remembered that as soon as she left to separate from him, he asked Sofia to collect all his clothes. His heart ached so much when she said she didn''t want to be with him! However, he would never resign himself, even if he was rejected three times! Despite having Mica''s clothes thrown out, he wanted to take them with him one day. But he had not yet had time to prepare her clothes in that room.... That night he slept in his room. Thinking that he would not be able to see her in the following days and that she did not want to be by his side, Carlos choked a lot. Looking at the empty closet, he immediately phoned to buy clothes to get her. Therefore, Mica''s closet could not be empty.... Hugging her, Carlos remembered the missed calls to Alba and began to worry.... When Mica woke up in the early morning, Carlos was still sleeping. Mica touched his forehead and he calmed downpletely because his fever had finally broken. She carefully got out of bed and went back to her room to change. After all, it urred to Mica that it had been a long time since she had seen her cell phone or talked to Alba, so she felt guilty.... Because her bag was still in Carlos'' room, she hurried to her room. He had gotten up and the room was empty. It looked like Carlos hade down from the floor. Mica grabbed her bag from the couch, pulled out her cell phone and found that Alba had sent her All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. many messages asking if he had arrived, if she liked the gift and if she felt tired because of the time difference. As Mica had not answered her anything, Alba reproached her for her preference for Carlos and that she had forgotten about her being with her boyfriend.... Mica read the messages smiling. Even though Alba had sent her so many messages, she had not called her on the phone, which indicated that she did not care when Mica was with Carlos. Above the messages, there was a picture.... Mica erged it. It was taken when they were climbing from the ship tond. Hugging her, Carlos was kissing Mica. In the background, it was a shimmeringke reflecting the rockets bursting in the night sky.... "Alba should be a photographer. You can see the scenery very well and the two embracing in the photo..." After a long time of contemting the photo, Mica hurried to send message to Alba, exining that she was very sorry and would call herter because yesterday Carlos had a fever and she was busy taking care of him, so she didn''t see the cell phone until now. Then, Mica came down from the floor. Sitting at the table, Carlos was already reading a financial newspaper. He was dressed in a white shirt. In the sunlight, he looked very handsome. He no longer looked sick, but rather the calm temperament of a CEO. Looking at his profile, he seemed very familiar to Mica.... She had always witnessed this scene when she lived here. But she had not been as excited as she was now.... -Good morning, Miss Mica. And it''s time for breakfast -Sofia and some maids came out with breakfast and greeted her. Carlos looked up and found that Mica was looking at him. He withdrew the newspaper and smiled. Suddenly Mica felt nervous and stopped looking at him. -Good morning, Sofia," she greeted Sofia hastily. Then, she sat down in front of Carlos and began to eat breakfast. Carlos ate his breakfast in an elegant manner as he watched her redden little by little without caring how the others thought. -Carlos, don''t look at me like that! Mica grabbed the sandwich hard as if she was venting her fury. -I can''t control my eyes," Carlos sipped some coffee and said lightly. How right he was! Unable to do anything with it, Mica took the sandwich again with force and heard the maids murmuring.... Through the kitchen door, the maids gathered, looking at them. -I miss this scene! -Yes, since Monsieur Charles and Mademoiselle Mica moved from here, there hasn''t been a moment like this! -What a soft look the gentleman has! -Miss Mica is very blushing! -Mr. fixes his eyes on her so much, of course she must be blushing, I would have fainted by now if it were me! ... Mica''s face became redder. In fact, she wanted to faint to hide from him! -Look, the gentleman is getting up! -a woman shouted, which caught Mica''s attention. She also saw that Carlos had not only stood up, but also leaned out towards her. -Here you are..." He said in a low tone. Unmoving, Mica looked at him and gradually approached him.... The maids could not contain their excitement and began toment. -The master is going to kiss Miss Mica! -Wow, how romantic! It looks like the plots of a novel! Some young maids immediately took out their cell phones to take pictures of them. After they set everything up, the pictures taken looked like this: With his hand held on the table, Carlos leaned over and approached Mica.... But! But! Carlos hid them with the newspaper he had removed! Chapter 171 : ILl Walk You Out. Chapter 171 : I''Ll Walk You Out. Chapter 171 : I''ll walk you out. That damned newspaper hid them! All the maidsined.... While Diego was already waiting outside the vi. In order not to have a problem, he didn''t ask them anything when he saw Micaing out reddened. -Good morning, Miss Mica! -Diego opened the car door and greeted her. Mica answered him and sat down in the car. Thinking about what had just happened, she wanted to hide from the world. What made her more embarrassed was that she thought Carlos would kiss her. But he had only licked the cream left by her mouth and went back to his ce, for which she felt very uneasy but also disappointed. She scolded herself, how embarrassing! Carlos also got into the car, looked at her and smiled. In a good mood, he turned on the car''sputer. So, they left Nyisrenda. Carlos told Diego the address. Diego nodded and began to tell him the business about the job. Through the reflection of the car window, Mica was watching Carlos. He was talking to Diego, while driving theputer. To her, he was so beautiful and quiet.... Until the car stopped, Mica was surprised that she was looking at him during the whole trip. Carlos opened the door for her protectively and naturally hugged her to his side. -Did you understand what I told you this morning? -He said in her ear. -How? -Mica looked at him confused. -I can''t control my eyes not to see you. Exactly! Mica became embarrassed. "He''s figured out that I was watching him..." -Is it okay to fondle each other so much in front of me? -a voice was heard. It was Gael''s. Dressed in a white suit and shiny ck leather shoes, he looked very animated and came out of the building. -What''s up, editor Gael? -Carlos looked at him and said. Seeing the shallow smile on his face, Gael already understood that this smile did not signal a good intention. But thinking about the trouble he was intely, he just had to resign himself. -Mr. Carlos and Miss Mica, very good morning, wee, please! -Gael abruptly changed his attitude. Hanging on Mica''s hand, Carlos entered. The room was very spacious and the most striking feature was therge words on the wall: Excellent Taste-Fashion. The style suited their theme very well: Fashion! Gael directed them and Diego followed behind. -Aren''t you going to thepany? -Confused, Mica asked Carlos in a low voice. -I''ll go with you," Carlos squeezed her hand and answered. Mica looked at him gratefully. Indeed, she felt nervous and calmed down when she was with him. However, what about her work? At Grupo Aguayo there was a lot of business to do. Yesterday Carlos wanted to work, even though he had a fever? -That''s all right. Here I can also take care of urgent matters," Carlos exined, noting his doubt. After seeing that Diego was with aputer in his hand, Mica quieted down a little. Gael guided them to the elevator smiling and was envious looking at Carlos and Mica''s hands sped together... They arrived at the studio on the second floor, where the make-up artists and stylists were already waiting for them. By Carlos''s requirement, everyone here was a necessary person. Mica looked around. The studio was veryrge and well equipped. In the distance, there was a small stage with two individual sofas that looked like a talk show stage.... Some people were stunned to see Carlos and Mica until Gael called out to them several times.... With these two beautiful people on the cover, surely the magazine would have a great sale! -Miss Mica is going to be the protagonist of the new cover," Gael said. People pped their hands to wee her. -This gentleman is the male protagonist, isn''t he? -the stylist asked aloud. Gael looked at Carlos. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He still hadn''t been able to invite him to the cover! He had wanted to do it many times, but finally gave up this idea. -No, I ordered a Brinte model and it will arrive soon. Everyone showed pity. The assistant stylist hurried to pick up the prepared clothes. -Hello, Miss Mica. Come with me to change clothes," she said smiling. Mica looked at Carlos and he nodded. -Follow them, I''ll wait for you in the attic. She looked up. There was a loft with tables and chairs, what was supposed to be a small meeting room. Mica nodded and went with her. Having perceived an oppressive look, Gael turned and found Carlos staring at him. -Why didn''t you mention the male lead to me? -Carlos, he''s just a protagonist who doesn''t show his face on the cover or have any intimate physical contact with Mica! If you can''t ept it, I''m d you''re taking this position! -Gael looked at him with disdain. Carlos looked a little morefortable and headed for the stairs without saying anything. Diego was waiting for him in the attic. Theputer and headphones were ready. Carlos sat down in front of theputer. From this angle, he could see everything downstairs. He nodded with satisfaction and indicated to Diego that he could now return to thepany. As Mica entered the fitting room, the assistant also followed her, to Mica''s surprise. -If you haven''t gotten used to it, I''ll wait for you outside and call me if you need help," noting Mica''s embarrassment, the assistant hung the clothes on the wall and said politely. Mica nodded her head. She would feel embarrassed changing clothes in front of someone else, even though she was a woman. *** Carlos began to deal with importantpany business on theputer. He looked downstairs, Mica had not yet left the dressing room. An invitation to the videoconference appeared, so Carlos put on headphones. He nced down again before entering the online conference, where all the people were already set up. Through the headphones, he didn''t hear the exmation from the people downstairs when Mica came out dressed in a suit... Chapter 172 : Could She Already Be On The Cover Of Excellent Taste? Chapter 172 : Could She Already Be On The Cover Of Excellent Taste? Chapter 172 : Could she already be on the cover of Excellent Taste? In front of a make-up mirror, some make-up artists were doing Mica''s make-up and hair. She was sitting quietly, letting herself be led by them. Editor-in-chief, you''ve got eyes! -Miss Mica has a very outstanding temperament! -I''m sure this time Excellent Taste magazine is going to take the first ce in the sale! *** Looking at Mica, who was helping the make-up artists, Gael was proud with his hands in his pockets. Of course he had eyesight. Besides, he wasn''t the only one who had it, Mr. Eric from Brinte did too. Anyway, the one who had sight the most had to be the one sitting in the attic.... How did Mica find this treasure? -Redactor Gael, the model from Brinte has arrived -an assistant came in apanied by a tall model. Gale examined him, he was fit and deserved to be a model. However, after seeing the scene when Mica and Carlos were together, he couldn''t imagine what it would be like if this model was next to Mica, which seemed very strange to him.... -Change. The model took a look at Mica and felt happy because he could be with this beautiful girl in the pictures. A maid and an employee came to talk to Gael in a low voice. -Editor, I don''t know why I think the gentleman whoes with Miss Mica is more suitable to be the protagonist. -All right, although the model is fine, he doesn''t deserve Miss Mica. With her eyes closed, Mica got excited listening to them. "Are they going to take pictures of Carlos and me?" It seemed like she had dreamed about this.... -Don''t get your hopes up, Carlos is too discreet. I''ve invited him many times and he always turns me down. Since I met him more than ten years ago, I''ve only seen his identity photos. He doesn''t have any other kind of photos... -Gael sighed. What a pity! And Mica just had to contain her disappointment. It was true. Carlos was noble by birth, but he had never appeared in any news, so she knew his real identity after so long. Seeing that the make-up artists had to take a long time, Gael went off to do other things. Sitting like that, Mica realized that more than an hour had passed. -Well, what time are we meeting Miss Bianca? -At 10:30. More or less the time wille after taking pictures for the cover. While the employees were talking, Mica saw herself in the mirror, which seemed unfamiliar and also familiar. To her it sounded like something theymented on. But before she could reflect, the cheering of the people interrupted her. -So beautiful! It''s true, this make-up is the most satisfying of all the ones I''ve done in my life! Mainly this is because the model is very pretty and has very good skin. Without makeup, she already looks great, let alone with makeup.... Hearing thepliments, Mica looked at the people in the mirror and smiled sheepishly, which caused a hubbub. -Wow, I''m going to fall in love with you! -Wow, you look so pretty when you smile! N?velDrama.Org is the owner. -Editor, are you sure there''s only one cover to do with Miss Mica? You can create a series of covers with her! I can''t just take a group of pictures of her, I''m going to use all the rolls just to take pictures of her! -Seeing Gael enter, the photographer bounced back with the camera in his hand. Gael also thought Mica looked very impressive. With the makeup, Mica''s pretty face and smile were very charming! Not knowing what to do, Mica turned to look towards the penthouse, where Carlos was in front of theputer saying something into headphones.... -Miss Mica,e here! The male model sighed. He was feeling very emotional because they were going to take pictures of him with this pretty girl. How lucky he was! Mica got ready in the position the photographer indicated. They turned on the lights on both sides, through which Mica looked much prettier.... Adjusting the focal length, Mica looked too beautiful to the photographer. -Beautiful, don''t be nervous. Let''s take some pictures to find sensations. Come, look this way... -the photographer said. Mica looked at the camera, took a deep breath and said to herself that she would have to face all this in the future. And now everything was a warm-up and she had to do it calmly.... After finishing some business, Carlos looked downstairs. He saw that Mica was no longer in the powder room. With a frown, he took off his headphones and walked over to the railing. When he looked down earlier, as many people were surrounding Mica, he didn''t get a good look at her. Now from above he looked down at her in the photo studio, Carlos pressed his hand on his heart subconsciously.... His love was always giving him surprises without interruptions.... Dressed in a sleeveless blue suit, Mica stood with her corbone exposed. Despite the waist zipper and hemline, the skirt was not unseemly at all, but rather greatly emphasized Mica''s beauty. Her skin was as white as snow and her eyes resembled clear water, showing her purity. In Mica''s case, these two absolutely opposite sensations did not seem strange at all but enhanced her beauty. The individual photos were already taken. The photographer asked the model toe on stage. The assistant brought a high chair with no back, where the model sat with her back turned and faced Mica. And Mica rested her elbow on the model''s shoulder looking at the camera.... After taking several pictures, the photographer still wasn''t satisfied - the model didn''t deserve anything from Mica! Perhaps because of the physical contact, Mica was a little ufortable. But it was just a simple movement and it was no big deal, right? Gael also sensed the foul. Although the pictures didn''t look bad and Mica had a temperament like other famous models, it felt a little strange and the model only served as a secondary character, which made Gael feel unhappy. -Let me have it," Carlos'' voice was heard when Gael was worried. Gael sighed and was very surprised to see Carlos, who suddenly appeared next to him and was already taking off his coat. Wasn''t this the Carlos he had dreamed of for so many years? Could he already be on the cover of Excellent Taste? Chapter 173 : Stay Away From Carlos, Please! Chapter 173 : Stay Away From Carlos, Please! Chapter 173 : Stay away from Carlos, please! Carlos threw the removed coat at Gael and looked at Mica. Mica also looked at him with her heart beating very fast. "Really, can I be with Carlos together in the pictures?" Carlos walked up to the stage. Sensing Carlos'' aura of increased dignity, the model stood up and moved to the side.... Carlos stepped forward in front of Mica and bowed his head slightly. He took her hand and kissed it. -Mica, I have repented. I shouldn''t let you be on the cover or sign a contract. He wanted to take up all her smiles and beauty. -But Gael will be very angry and Eric will feel sad, won''t he? -I understood Carlos'' double meaning and that he wouldn''t do it, she looked at him smiling. She had promised them that she would sign the contract. Seeing Mica''s smile, holding back the urge to hug her, Carlos sat in the high chair with his hands in his pockets like what the model had done. He put his foot on the bar of the chair and left his left leg extended. He turned his head and looked up at Mica who was standing. All at once Mica found a way and naturally put her elbow on his shoulder.... The photographer was happy and started taking pictures of them non-stop since Carlos sat down and looked at Mica. What a beautiful scene it was when the two of them looked at each other! Mica looked at the photographer. She imagined that she was in a blue skirt and pretty makeup, while Carlos was dressed in a white shirt, ck pants.... She adjusted herself and contained the happiness she felt, showing a little cold.... The photographer felt very happy for the wonderful coordination between them, they were a perfect match! Carlos only showed his profile so as not to repress Mica''s aura. They understood each other very well! -There! Everything is perfect! -After taking several groups of pictures, the photographer said with satisfaction. As for the model, feeling that he was nothingparable to Carlos, he became very discouraged? And other employees had not yet recovered. The recent scene was very beautiful and unique. -Fantastic! -The photos are very beautiful. I can''t wait to see the new cover! -What a thrill! Miss Mica, you''re going to be very famous if you''re on our cover! -She''s not the only one who''s going to be popr. With the cover where they are, Excelente Gusto will also have a great sale -very happy, Gael added. Everyone nodded in agreement. -Carlos, is it possible for the photographer to send me all the photos? -blushing, Mica looked at Carlos and said quietly. This was not a big problem. Without her saying it, he would ask Gael to develop the photos and deliver them to Mica. -Carlos, what are you doing here? -As Carlos was about to say something, a woman''s voice was heard N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. with surprise and doubt. Everyone turned around and found that some people had entered the studio, who surrounded the youngdy of the Davalos family, Bianca Davalos! Dressed in ady''s dress, she looked prudent and elegant. She was very delicate and had hair on her shoulders. When she saw Carlos, her eyes lit up with a loving look. However, she frowned when she noticed Mica standing very close to Carlos.... -Miss Bianca Davalos.... -Gael turned around and approached her hastily when he saw that it was Bianca. Before Gael finished, Bianca went through him towards Carlos, grabbed Mica''s hand to make her move away from him. -Miss, get away from Carlos, please! No sooner had she touched him than Carlos grabbed Mica and took her in his arms. Bianca was startled not knowing what to do at the sight of him. "How could he do this with a woman?" Gripping Mica''s wrist, Bianca struggled to pull Mica away from Carlos. -Carlos, she''s been using perfume. You can''t let her near you! Everyone was confused, including Mica.... Suddenly, it urred to Mica that she had seen her at the Aguayo Group. It was the woman who came out of Carlos'' special elevator, thedy from the Davalos family, which was one of the biggest families in Tdia. It was Bianca! Carlos had also mentioned her to her, saying that he no longer paid attention to her. But what did what she just said refer to? Couldn''t Mica get close to Carlos? Had she used perfume? Mica never used perfume! -Let her go! -Looking at Bianca, Carlos said coldly. -Carlos, let her go. Really, she used perfume. It will be bad when you have a fever, have you forgotten? -Bianca insisted. -I say let her go," hugging Mica, Carlos said in a lower tone. Bianca felt discouraged. Why was his gaze towards her so cold.... She let go of her because it was the first time she saw Carlos with such a mean face. Mica''s hand came down naturally, which Carlos took at once. He gently rubbed the part that had been grabbed and fingerprints remained, so it was noticeable how much force Bianca used.... -Carlos..." Bianca called him lightly. Bianca felt dizzy when she saw everything. Why did Carlos'' handsome face show so much softness? Why was he showing this affection to another woman, what she had dreamed of for more than ten years? Mica looked at Bianca being very sad and discouraged. Although she was a woman, she felt sorry for her? Thinking that Carlos would be a little moved, Mica looked at him. But it only turned out to be a hardened face. In fact, he felt sorry too, but it was because of the red footprints created by Bianca on Mica''s hand! He was still rubbing her wrist lightly and everyone was looking at them with their mouths open, so Mica was embarrassed and withdrew her hand.... She looked at Bianca and Carlos. It was impossible for Bianca not to like Carlos at all. She called him in a very affectionate and natural way. Besides, her identity deserved Carlos very much.... -Talk to him, I''m going to change... -containing her jealousy, Mica said in a low voice. Chapter 174 : IM Afraid YouLl Push Me To His Side Chapter 174 : I''M Afraid You''Ll Push Me To His Side Chapter 174 : I''m afraid you''ll push me to his side When Mica was about to turn around, Carlos embraced her and took her by his side. -There''s nothing to talk about. Bianca, that''s exactly what you see and think. Don''t look for me. Besides, she hasn''t been wearing perfume -with an indifferent look, Carlos said directly. All the people around froze in astonishment. Although Carlos was someone very important ording to his aura, everyone was surprised that Miss Bianca of the Davalos family esteemed him. Carlos made the few men who were here envious. Two such beautiful girls were surrounding him! Gael was the only one who knew Carlos'' identity. But he didn''t know what would happen between Bianca and Carlos nor could he do anything with them.... -Carlos, you are lying to me. This is impossible..." -hearing him rubbing his clothes, Bianca shook her head unable to ept the truth. Then, seemingly unable to bear the reality, Bianca fainted before finishing the words. Fortunately Gael supported her in time from behind! The crowd eximed and everyone came forward: -Miss Bianca has fainted! -What? She has to be taken to the hospital! -No one can take this responsibility if something happens to Miss Bianca! ... Mica also stepped forward unconsciously, but she was held tightly in Carlos'' arms... -Gael, take her to the hospital and block the news. Don''t let her family know -like a king, Carlos gave orders and looked at the people around him. Everyone was convinced by his strong aura and covered their mouths nodding as if they were saying they would not reveal anything. Gael took her in his arms and went outside. Mica became very uneasy. Because of Carlos, Bianca fainted, that''s why, she couldn''t stay without doing anything? -Chiquita, change your clothes and let''s go," Carlos told her. She thought they were going to the hospital, she hurried to change and followed him out of the Excelente Gusto building. And just then Diego came with the car. After a while in the car, Mica realized they were not going to the hospital. -Where are we going? -Mica asked Carlos curiously. -To thepany. -But shouldn''t we go to the hospital to visit Miss Bianca? -Mica said surprised. -Why do we have to visit her? -Carlos looked at Mica. -She has fainted because of you..... Carlos wanted to touch Mica''s hair, but he stopped because she was with a very nice hairstyle and he didn''t want to spoil it. Therefore, he took her in his arms. -So I can''t give her hope," he said. In fact, he had never given her hope all the time. It was really like what Mica had said, that he had never considered marriage, much less a marriage with Bianca! Bianca was simply too stubborn. Since the Aguayo family and the Davalos had already known each other for many years, Carlos did not tell Bianca what he thought directly but ignored her to indicate his indifference towards her. But it was not known why she insisted so much. Today the meeting in Excelente Gusto was a coincidence. Mica was slightly deterred and stopped the hand that was going to repel him.... -Are you afraid that I misunderstand you? -Mica asked him. But Carlos did not answer her. -I believe you! I have no doubts about you, so let''s go to the hospital to see her.... -Mica promised him. Carlos already knew Mica''s sympathy. But he would not do what she said. -But I don''t believe you, chiquita. I''m afraid you''ll push me to her side when you see her. Although he would not approach Bianca if Mica did, he could not ept that Mica had these ideas. He couldn''t lose Mica. But she was thinking too much and worrying too much. When he told her to talk to Bianca, he had realized that Mica was thinking about such things as equal identity. Mica felt puzzled. Actually, she hadn''t thought of it that way but she didn''t know why she felt so uneasy. -Sign the contract with Brinte when you have time. You have to get to a higher ce to remove your damned humiliation," Carlos said in her ear. Actually, he knew very well all the suffering, worry and restlessness in her heart... Moved, Mica hugged him and nodded. -What does what Miss Bianca said mean? Can''t you be by my side if I have used perfume? And what does high fever mean? Was your fever yesterday due to the contact with perfume? -Suddenly Mica remembered Bianca''s words and moved a little away from him. Mica remembered the past carefully, the day when she had a fever? She had been to the women''s clothing store! All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. When they were in Mangzarent Nation, that store smelled like perfume. And Carlos stayed there for a long time because of her! -Carlos, the women''s clothing store in Mangzarent Nation that you were in smelled like perfume. You had a high fever because you stayed there, didn''t you? -Mica looked a little unbelievable. Carlos didn''t touch the perfume but just smelled it, didn''t he? Suddenly, it urred to her that when she went to Mr. Campos'' banquet, Carlos took a big step back with her as Amelia approached him. And Mica was curious about Carlos'' abrupt reaction. Now she understood that it happened because Amelia had used perfume. Diego looked at Carlos through the mirror. -Indeed, Miss Mica. Mr. Carlos has a very strange allergy. They have invited many experts to cure him, but they still haven''t found the concrete cause. One can only say that it is a very rare allergy. Just by smelling the perfume for a moment, Carlos will feel the difort in his nose. And if he stays longer in a perfumed environment, he will gradually adapt without feeling ufortable at all, and then the fever will start.... -Diego began to speak for his part and finally stopped without saying more. -The fever is produced only by having smelled the perfume for a long time? -Mica was very surprised. -It depends. Sometimes Carlos couldn''t leave the banquet, but finally came back without getting a fever. But once after returning from a banquet he got a very bad fever and it almost killed him, which Diego didn''t tell Mica. -But if you had direct contact with the perfume, like skin contact? -Mica looked at Carlos. -I don''t know. I haven''t tried it. Or shall we try it now? -Carlosughed. Chapter 175 : Waiting For You Is Not A Waste Of Time. Chapter 175 : Waiting For You Is Not A Waste Of Time. Chapter 175 : Waiting for you is not a waste of time. Mica hastily shook her head in horror: -No, don''t try it! Just smelling it had such serious consequences. If this came in contact with the skin, there was no telling what would happen. After a pause, Mica frowned slightly. -Why didn''t you tell me before? -Why did I tell you, so you could wear this perfume and then I couldn''t get close to you? Mica gaped. "At first, he would threaten me; he would make me get in the car and kiss me in the street if I didn''t want to." "I don''t let him in my house, he kisses me too!" "If he had been wearing perfume then, he probably wouldn''t have dared toe near me, would he?" She couldn''t resist the urge tough, but Carlos grabbed her chin and said firmly: -You can try. Still, I''d go on.... Mica rushed to cover his mouth, her face red. Diego is still here! -So, you''reing to me because I have a scent even without perfume? Carlos kissed her hand, and answered with a smile: -Because you are special and your scent is familiar to me. But so far, I still haven''t found the slightest evidence that we have met before. Mica understood even better the reason why he would investigate her at that moment. -Miss Noboa, another reason is that, Mr. Aguayo''s reaction to perfume is considered a weakness, for fear of being exploited by people with an ulterior motive, therefore, he deliberately did not say anything to the public. Mica nodded. "I won''t tell anyone either!" Looking out the window at the beauty parlor, Mica hurriedly called out: -Stop here! It''s not far from your office and I''lle myselfter. I''m going to take off my make-up. Carlos smiled. "She''s quite considerate." -Do you need me toe with you? -Carlos asked. Mica was quick to shake her head: -No, this is a ce for women, and there are people wearing perfume. Go back to the office and I''ll After saying that, she got out of the car, went into the beauty salon, let people remove her make-up, washed her hair and dried it. Then she came out fresh and saw that Carlos'' car was still parked on the side of the road. She rushed over, opened the car door and got in. -Didn''t I tell you to go back first? You''re too busy, how can you waste your time waiting for me here! He had a lot going on at thepany, and she was already very sorry to have wasted another half day just to apany her to take pictures. Carlos took her in his arms, smelling atst the fragrance that belonged to her, and sighed contentedly. -Honey, waiting for you is not a waste of time. Diego started the car earnestly and headed for the office. "Mr. Aguayo is getting better at talking about love, and hepletely ignores me!" She couldn''t help but blush and try to push him away. But he refused to let go of her. She thought he would go straight back to the office, but instead, he took her out to dinner! It was the same restaurant as thest date, TOBEWITHYOU. Last time she didn''t pay attention to him, but this time she clearly saw the name of the restaurant: Beside You. With such a romantic name, Mica''s face blushed. This time, Carlos had booked a private room, so she didn''t have to worry about anyone taking pictures. *** In a luxurious room of Tdia''s private hospital, Bianca was lying on the bed with a pale face. She opened her eyes slightly, adjusting herself for a moment and remembered what had just happened.... "Carlos likes that girl?" He protected her like that and held her in his arms lovingly. "Why, why can''t he feel my love?" It had been ten years ago, when she came back from abroad and fell in love with him at first sight. Marrying him was her life goal! At first, she was only fascinated by his extraordinary looks, but the more she came into contact with him, the more she was impressed by his personality. He was not seduced by women, he had a good ability to develop Aguayo Group from the Smentro City to Tdia, and he was a legend. She adored him and he knew it. When that ident happened, if she hade to Tdia, then, that lucky woman would have been Bianca! "Luckily, Carlos didn''t love that woman either, and he limited himself to providing family assistance." So Bianca was even more certain that she was definitely Carlos''st choice, after all, they would be a perfect match! Knowing that he was allergic to perfumes, she never perfumed; Knowing that he didn''t like girls who talked too much, she tried to behave quietly in front of him; She believed that one day he would discover her and marry her.... Tears were sliding down the pillow.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "who is that girl?" "Why did such a pretty and striking girl suddenly appear?" "Was it because I didn''t take the initiative? Have I been waiting for Carlos to discover me and that''s why I missed him?" She was so sorry.... The tears flowed more fiercely..... Suddenly a male voice sounded beside her: -You''re awake, do you feel ufortable? "It''s Carlos!" Bianca blinked hard to push the tears away. She threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly: -Carlos, I knew it, you wouldn''t be so merciless! The man''s body stiffened, his raised hand wanted to caress the woman''s hair, but he stopped in mid- air, and half a momentter, he said with some bitterness: -Bianca, it''s Tomas. Chapter 176 : IM Not Giving Up. Chapter 176 : I''M Not Giving Up. Chapter 176 : I''m not giving up. Bianca stood paralyzed and only after a long moment did she let it out embarrassed, trying to adjust her emotions: -Tomas, I''m sorry..... Tomas sighed as he looked at her still slightly shrugged shoulders. Carlos couldn''t see her love, but she didn''t notice his either. He handed her some tissues and she took them, wiped her tears and her nose. In front of Tomas, she didn''t bother with any images. After looking around, she asked quietly: -Tomas, are you the one who sent me to the hospital? Tomas looked at Bianca, and answered bluntly: -It wasn''t me or my brother. It was the editor-in-chief of Excellent Taste, Gael, who sent you here. Bianca''s eyes could not hide her disappointment. Tomas added sincerely: -I think it was my brother who told you. By the way, can you not tell your father about your fainting spell? Bianca asked rhetorically: -Did Tomas ask for this? Are you afraid my family will force you to marry me? Tomas pulled out a chair and sat down across from her, looked into Bianca''s eyes and said calmly: -It''s only so as not to damage the peace between the two families. He didn''t ask for anything and only told me that you were in the hospital and toe and see you. Bianca felt her heart ache again and suddenly thought of something: -Tomas, who is that girl next to him? She''s his girlfriend, isn''t she? Tomas said seriously: -Yes, she is his girlfriend. They were very close and my brother loves her very much? -Don''t say that! Bianca covered her ears and screamed. The movement was so violent that she pulled the infusion tube. Tomas got up in a hurry and grabbed her, but she pped him away: -Go away! It was your fault! You like me, don''t you? That''s why he forced himself not to like me. It''s all your fault! Thomas paused, and her words wounded him deeply. "Is it wrong for me to like you?" "I can''t control my love either!" Bianca was also shocked by his words, but chose to ignore him. She lowered her head and didn''t want to look at him, so she didn''t want to give Tomas hope. Tomas looked at the woman with his head hanging, his fist clenched, said nothing, and walked out. Only then did Bianca raise her head, her face streaked with tears. "How can I be so bad, hurting Tomas who has been so good to me..." "But Carlos is the worst. How could he ignore my love and fall in love with another girl..." As Bianca was thinking with tears, the door was pushed again. So she said anxiously: -Tomas, I''m sorry..... However, it was Gael who came in. Bianca hurried to pause and Gael was also a little embarrassed. Bianca was very beautiful, even if her face was full of tears at the moment. -Tomas has something to do. The doctor said you had vertigo caused by emotional stress, but you can be discharged now. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Bianca wiped her face and nodded: -Well, I''m going back to Excellent Gusto with you now. Sorry for the inconvenience... Gael was a little surprised: -You mean continue with our work? -Of course, how can I interrupt the work for the personal matter. It''s not toote yet, is it? Gael was surprised, thinking this was going to fail. "It seems that Miss Bianca is especially sensible!" "Howe Carlos doesn''t like..." Gael paused fiercely, because he thought of Mica, who was also so special that he even took one look at her and invited her to photograph the cover of Excellent Taste without even thinking about it She caught Carlos'' attention, definitely not only because she was beautiful.... "Carlos is too lucky!" -Of course not. Miss Bianca, I''m going to check the discharge procedures and pick you up right away. With that he left, and before long the nurse came in and removed the IV tube from her. She pulled up the sheets, smoothed her clothes and stood in front of the window, looking out at the bright sun: "I''m not going to give up, I''m going to take the initiative to win her love." *** Three dayster, the whole of Tdia was buzzing with excitement. First, thetest Excellent Taste went on sale as nned and was immediately snapped up. Another half a million copies were printed, and still they were immediately purchased. Sales had reached an all-time high. Both thepany and the industry were surprised. Everywhere, from elementary school children to the elderly, everyone was reading Excellent Taste. -This woman is so beautiful! -She looks like an angel. -Who is this man? -He looks so handsome with a side face already. If a full face is shown, my God, my heart wouldn''t be able to take it anymore.... All the news was about this: "The magazine is selling so much and the identity of the cover model is a mystery." "The two mostpatible models, are announced to the world." ... Thements section was even more animated: "I want to frame the cover and hang it on my wall." "These two are definitely the most beautiful Tdia''s!" "God, I love them so much!" "It''s a perfect match!" ... However, the identities of these two people had not been revealed - they were too mysterious! Eric and Hector, were sitting in the conference room, watching the Inte reports, and were also amazed. It had been a long time since Tdia had been so bustling. Eric was more excited: -She has lived up to her words! She said she would be more impressive when she came to sign. I love her so much! Chapter 177 : Refused Love Chapter 177 : Refused Love Chapter 177 : Refused Love Hector looked at him nkly, thought about Katarina''s arrangement and patted him on the shoulder: -Eric, the good show ising! Eric looked at the tall, handsome Hector with tears in his eyes, confused: -What do you mean? -You''ll know soon enough. *** While all of Excellent Gusto was jumping with joy for this unprecedented sale, there was one person who was about to cry, and it was Gael! Suddenly, Carlos'' people invited him to go to Carlos'' office. At first, he thought that Carlos was also happy that the cover he had shot with Mica had had such a good response, but when he arrived, he saw that he had a somber face and that he threw an Excellent Taste at him: -Gael, look what you''ve done! It was the first time he had seen that icy expression, directed at himself. At that moment, he wondered if he had inadvertently offended him. He picked up the magazine and looked closely at the cover, which was exquisite and Mr. Aguayo''s side face was perfect as if it were God''s most perfect work, and Mica was also breathtakingly beautiful, so the problem was definitely not the cover. He kept turning, the second page was a single photo of Mica, also very beautiful.... Gael looked at Carlos doubtfully and saw that he was still looking at him with hatred, then she shuddered and kept scrolling down.... "The daughter of the Davalos family, Bianca, made a great demonstration of love." "She only loves Carlos in this life!" "He''s the only one she''ll marry!" Seeing the big headline, Gael''s eyes widened. -Wow, are you so brave Miss Bianca? -Gael reacted half-heartedly. No, no, no, no, that''s not the point, Carlos, I really don''t know! The theme of our program is the new Parisian models.... -Gael, do you want Excelente Gusto to stop publishing from next month? -Carlos asked angrily, "Have you received benefits from the Davalos family to help her force me to marry her? This column, written all about Bianca''s emotional process towards Carlos, from how she fell in love with All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. him at first sight, until she decided she would marry him in this life, is tens of thousands of words! Thinking that Mica would feel sad when she saw it, I couldn''t wait for Excellent Taste to disappear from Tdia immediately, and especially, this article, if it was seen by Tomas, how would he feel.... -No, I didn''t receive any benefit.... Gael looked at Carlos'' expression, knowing that his negligence had really caused a big problem! Bianca''s love for Carlos had been on full disy on the set that day... -I''m sorry, I really didn''t know that the editor suddenly changed the content of the column, I think it must be Miss Bianca bullying..... Diego, who was next to her, took the floor: -Mr. Mariano, it makes no sense to pursue why this article was published now, since Mr. Aguayo was merciful not to make Excelente Gusto disappear immediately from Tdia. Gael suddenly remembered that a magazine that had reported on the Carlos incident two years ago was originally Tdia''s main media outlet. Just for reporting on that incident, overnight, it disappeared from Tdia.... Gael looked at Carlos with appreciation: -Thank you. It''s just that, now that it has been out in the open for so long, it''s impossible to remove it. Fortunately, this article has not been published on the Inte. The Inte could spread many times faster than the magazine.... Diego continued: -Yes, Mr. Mariano, we invite you toe here because we want you to take care of this. Don''t publish this column issue in the back of the magazine. This volume of the magazine will not be sold in Smentro. Also, by all means, keep this story from being published on the Inte. If Victor Aguayo finds out about this, the consequences will be more than you can afford. Gael hastily nodded and immediately pulled out his phone to exin.... Carlos turned around and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. "I''m not afraid of Victor Aguayo''s forced marriage, what I''m afraid of is that he will hurt Mica. I will not allow anyone who can affect her state of mind..." *** A few hourster at night, in the Davalos family vi, for the moment, a war without smoke and mirrors was being waged. Bianca''s father, Jaime Davalos, was very angry: -Bianca, aren''t you ashamed? With that, an Excelente Gusto magazine was thrown on the coffee table in front of Bianca, who was sitting on the sofa. --I don''t know how I can have a daughter as shameless as you. Are you going to announce your love to the world? Today your uncles say you can''t get married, so you write a love letter in the magazine! Her mother, Zarina Lopez, who was sitting next to Bianca, couldn''t help but say: What''s the point of saying it now! This was published three days ago. In fact, when Jaime first read this article, he was looking forward to the oue with joy. Both the Davalos family and Familia Aguayo had epted the marriage. Victor Aguayo had even mentioned the matter to him face to face, only Carlos, who was young at the time, had refused. Jaime thought that if his daughter had to marry him sooner orter, it wouldn''t matter if he waited a few years. From his daughter''s show of affection this time, Jaime thought that Carlos should express his attitude, and even thought that he would go to the cover photo shoot, also because of his daughter! However, thest three days have provoked a lot of rumors and bad words that have pissed him off. And today, Carlos simply withdrew the story and banned its distribution online. All these measures clearly showed one thing: Carlos, he rejected Bianca''s love! Chapter 178 : ILl Explain It To Someone. Chapter 178 : I''Ll Exin It To Someone. Chapter 178 : I''ll exin it to someone. Jaime thought about those unpleasantments from rtives, he was still angry, but he could not offend Familia Aguayo, so Jaime frowned, and said: -Bianca, how many times have I told you, Tomas is also Familia Aguayo''s son, and he likes you very much. You can ept it and still be Mrs. Aguayo. With tears in her eyes, Bianca looked at her father, feeling a burst of aggravation in her heart.... She didn''t care about these things at all, she just liked Carlos. But her father didn''t understand her at all and treats her like one of those hypocritical women who want power and wealth.... -However, don''t you like Carlos better? What his wife said made Jaime choke with her words. He did like Carlos better and would love to have him together with his daughter. Both brothers were actually very good, and Tomas was nicer and had extraordinary skills, as well as being very good with his daughter. But he loved his daughter too much, and since she liked Carlos, he liked her even more, to the point that this faint sense of detachment in him felt very good! It was just that after so many years, she had also hinted at Carlos several times at the right time, but he didn''t flinch. Since Charles didn''t have a woman around either, he thought his daughter still had a chance, and so he let her wait for so many years.... However, Zarina gave a sudden twist to her words, looked at Bianca and said in a soft voice: -Bianca, I think Tomas has been very good to you and he is no worse than Carlos. Besides, in Familia Aguayo there are no worries about fighting for the property.... Even his mother said so! Bianca stood up angrily and said in a loud voice: -Dad, mom, I love Carlos, not Tomas.... -Love is something that can be cultivated! -Jaime interrupted him, "Tomas and Carlos are brothers, they look especially alike, and Tomas is no less capable in business. The fact is that he likes you and treats you well. We are all happy that you are with him. But what are you clinging to? Gritting her teeth in anger, Bianca stood up and shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice: -That''s enough! It''s because you taught me since I was a little girl that girls should be reserved that I hesitated to confess my love to Carlos, and that''s why I lost him! I only want him, none of you can force me to choose someone I don''t want! With that, she turned around and walked away crying, leaving her parents there in disbelief.... *** After two more days. These days Carlos went to thepany, taking Mica, and also assigned her some menial jobs. On the one hand, it kept her from getting bored, On the other hand, it kept her from having the opportunity to buy magazines! At nightfall, after dinner, Mica sits on the sofa, in Yunalvian, with a frown on her face and her cell phone in her hand, lost in thought. The cover of Excellent Taste was widely circted on the Inte. She knew there would be a stir, but she didn''t expect it to be so big, so when Carlos asked her to stay at Yunalvian for the time being, as it wasn''t safe for her to go out alone, she readily agreed. What was making her anxious at the moment was Alba. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. She didn''t know what was wrong with her. Before, when she sent her messages, they always came back to her in seconds more. Recently, what she told Alba, she wasn''t interested, and it took her a long time to respond. Suddenly, Carlos sat down next to her and Mica hurried back to her senses. He always wore a suit, with colors always ck, white or gray, looking cold, but at the same time spreading an irresistible power of seduction ... Now, in her home clothes, she looked kinder, with an intoxicating sweetness, especially the enchanting eyes. Carlos was approaching, and she panicked as she backed away, but he wrapped his arms around her waist, and would not let her move away .... Mica''s face flushed. "What do you want to do in the living room?" Carlos'' voice rang out, like a seductive melody: -What are you doing, do you want to...? Mica''s eyes widened. -I didn''t! -You''re staring at me. She couldn''t help but stare at him because he was so handsome..... She hurried to change the subject: -Carlos, can you do me a favor? He was busytely too, because Tomas had returned to Smentro at that moment, and without him to share thepany''s business. Carlos stroked his hair: -Tell me. Mica hurried to say. -I don''t know what''s wrong with Alba. She''s been very strangetely, she doesn''t react to anything I tell her, and even when I call her, she doesn''t hear anything. Could she be having an ident in Mangzarent Nation? Is she being controlled by someone? Or has something happened and she doesn''t want to talk to me for fear that I''ll worry? Can you arrange for someone to go to her school to check her out for me? Carlos then released her and frowned. It seemed very strange to him too. He had been trying to contact her since he got back, but she wasn''t answering her phone. He wanted to get to the bottom of how Mica had been hurt, but Alba was suddenly so uncooperative that it gave him a headache. He didn''t expect her to even care much about Mica.... This wouldn''t make sense. -I''ll exin it to someone. When he finished speaking, he called his subordinates in Mangzarent Nation in front of Mica. So she was a little relieved to see that he had made the arrangements. Seeing that she was so concerned about Alba, he said: -You have her brother''s phone number, you can ask him. Mica looked at him with a bit of anger: -You threatened himst time not to contact me! Chapter 179 : DonT Scare Me Chapter 179 : Don''T Scare Me Chapter 179 : Don''t Scare Me Carlos was surprised. "Mateo really keeps his word." At that time, when Mica wanted to leave him, even though he let her go, he still secretly let people N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. watch her. But he filmed her and Mateo, who had dinner together? -Carlos, did he really put pressure on his family? Mica asked curiously, because she had asked Alba afterwards, but she had no idea there was such a thing. Carlos rubbed his head and said bluntly: -No, I just called Mateo and told him to have youe see me. He respects her and her friend. How could he do such a thing? -Did he lie to me? -Mica was surprised and asked. Carlos especially liked her reaction, he took her in his arms and kissed her before saying: -She just yed a little trick. "Am I too stupid?" As if Carlos could see what she was thinking, he whispered in her ear: -It''s not that you''re stupid, it''s that you want to see too much of me. Mica blushed instantly and pushed him away. When she saw the maids who had previously been hiding in the kitchen doorway watching them eat breakfast gathering again, looking excitedly at her and Carlos, she blushed even more and went upstairs. Carlos stood up and gave her an icy look: -Don''t you want to do it here anymore? Saying this, he also went upstairs. The maids looked at me with a smile: -If it was before and Mr. Aguayo said that, I would have cried! -Yes, I would have been trembling and wondering what I had done wrong! -Now Mr. Aguayo is as warm as spring. Sofia looked at them, and smiled with relief. "How nice! Miss Noboa is back, and Mr. Aguayo is getting nicer and nicer." Carlos walked into the study and saw that Mica was curled up on the couch ying with her phone. "She likes to stay by my side and I feel happier and happier." As he thought about that article about Bianca, Carlos frowned. "Fortunately, Mica hardly reads Inte gossip." "These days don''t let her go shopping for magazines, and after a while, she should be fine..." Although he was looking forward to seeing her get jealous, he was more afraid of what would happen if she read it and pushed him away. He hated to see her upset and didn''t want to take the chance. If a guy made a show of affection for Mica, he''d probably freak out! Just the fantasy alone was enough to make him jealous! Carlos was amazed at her powerful possessiveness-no one could covet her! He walked in Mica''s direction, bent down, lifted her chin and kissed her. Mica was still receiving the messages, but she didn''t have the heart to care anymore, closing her eyes and feeling his tenderness.... Although it wasn''t the first time he kissed her, she couldn''t stop her heart from jumping a lot.... Then Carlos released her, and saw her with a red face. -I''m going to take care of things. Mica nodded with a reddened face, not daring to look at him. Carlos went to his desk to take care of business. Thinking about Tomas'' sudden decision to return to Smentro, Carlos frowned slightly. "It must be because when he went to see her at the hospital, Bianca said something to him." "I''m sure she would have been even sadder if she had seen that article." Grupo Aguayo, all at Smentro. Seven years ago Carlos brought his partners to Tdia, including Ernesto and Leonardo, who left to set up their own businesses after having had enough experience at Grupo Aguayo. After Carlos'' management, in five years, he turned a small town into Tdia, which was now a leader in the whole economy, and also Grupo Aguayo became the top of the three main families in Tdia. The Davalos family, who also followed him from Smentro, also did well in Tdia. Tomas was taking care of Grupo Aguayo''s affairs at Smentro and at the same time was heading to Tdia, for Bianca, right? This rtionship was too intricate. So Carlos got to work. Mica was chatting with her friends on Whatsapp. Ana, kiki and Olivia were all talking about their Excelente Gusto cover photos, while she received a message from Alba: -I''m sorry I made you worry. -Just now Mr. Aguayo''s people came looking for me. -I''m very well. Am I not in contact with you every day? -So inseparable from me, why not marry me! ... Seeing the messages, Mica couldn''t help but smile. "This is the right way to chat!" She clicked on the screen to reply: -You''ve been acting really weirdtely, tell me what''s wrong, we''re best friends! After Mica finished typing, Alba had already sent another line: -I''ve seen your cover photo! -You''re so pretty. You have to keep one for me! -When are you going to sign? -I''ll be your assistant when I go back to my country! Mica couldn''t help but giggle. "If only we were together every day!" After sending the message, Albano replied again. His heart, which had just been relieved, rose again and he hurried to call. After two rings, he hung up. Mica hurried to send him a message: -What''s up, are you in ss, did you run into any trouble? -Don''t scare me. Mica saw that she still hadn''t received an answer, she couldn''t stay still and wanted to go to Carlos for help. But her phone suddenly vibrated, she hurried to see what he had answered: -What if I fall in love with the same man as you? Chapter 180 : You Give Me A Gift First Thing In The Morning. Chapter 180 : You Give Me A Gift First Thing In The Morning. Chapter 180 : You give me a gift first thing in the morning. Before Mica could think of anything, or even look at him, she received more messages: -Hahahaha, I cheated on you. -How could I fall in love with such a cold man, I''m afraid of the cold! Mica burst outughing. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. -I''m telling you that just now the professor was standing next to me and you dared to call me! -But seriously, I''m going back to work as your assistant in a few days! I can''t trust anyone else at your side. With a warmth in her heart, Mica replied: -Well, all my earnings, we''ll split them in half. The other party replied in seconds: -Wow, then I''ll be a rich woman soon! -Let''s go! Let''s be the richest person in Tdia together! Mica smiled even happier. "I feel very rich now, because I count on Carlos and Alba." Carlos saw Micaugh so happily, and he couldn''t help but feel joyful and at this moment he received a message from Alba: -Mr. Aguayo, thank you for sending someone to see me. It was Mica''s intention, wasn''t it? I''ve been busy with my thesistely and whatever you want to ask, let''s talk face to face when youe back in a few days. Carlos'' smile faded, putting down the phone. It didn''t matter who it was, no one could hurt the person he cared about the most! He would definitely find him and cut him to pieces! *** The next morning, Carlos woke up early. After washing up, he went to Mica''s room, who was sleeping soundly, holding a pillow. Carlos thought with some envy with that pillow.... After giving him a kiss on the forehead, Mica woke up quietly and saw Carlos sitting on the edge of the bed. Then she was going to fix her hair.... -Honey, when did you start worrying so much about the image? Mica covered her face: -Thank you... -What? With a little red face, she continued: -Thank you for taking me to my room. She didn''t even know that when she fell asleepst night chatting with her friends. -I''d like to take you to your room for the rest of my life. When can I take you to my room? She murmured: -You''ve done that before. -Hahaha, the first time we came back, I took you to my room. Mica was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Carlos rubbed her head and his voice was low and maic: -I''ll show you something when you get up. Immediately, Mica was curious and asked: -What is it? Carlos got up: -Come down and you will know. He said and went out first. She was so curious that she immediately changed her clothes, washed and hurried downstairs. On the coffee table in the living room, there was a beautifully wrapped gift box of somewhatrge size. Carlos was at the dining room table, reading the business paper, and gave her a nod. Can I get a gift first thing in the morning? How romantic! He went ahead and pulled the ribbon, opened the cover, and saw what was inside, so Mica immediately covered her mouth in surprise. She looked at Carlos, who was reading seriously. Mica picked it up, which was an exquisite photo album, with the cover of Excellent Taste. She just looked at the pictures on the inte. For the cover she chose the one of her looking at the camera from the front, with a beautiful blue dress, and she was together with Carlos, it looked great. ... The photo was perfectly done, and better than in the magazine. Flipping through the inside, every detail of Carlos'' look had been captured.... I didn''t expect Carlos to make a beautiful album.... -Miss Noboa, this is exclusively for you," Diego came in, stood not far away looking at her and said, "All the photos were processed into a book and sentst night. Mica was so moved. -Also, you haven''t negotiated with Gael the payment for the cover photo and Mr. Aguayo has made a deal with him whereby you will receive five percent of the profits from the amount of the sales. Mica looked at Carlos in surprise. Isn''t that a lot of money? -You''ve given me so many things, but this album is my favorite! Thank you. Carlos felt a little shy. In fact, it was the first time he had ever given a serious gift, so he was a little nervous. When he saw how much he liked it, he was happy: -It''s good that you like it. The maids brought breakfast and greeted Diego to eat together. So Diego sat down. One of them kept looking at the photo album ced next to Mica, as if she wanted to look at it especially, but did not dare to say anything. Seeing this, Mica took it, got up, approached her and said in a low voice: -Take it if you want to see it. The maid looked surprised: -Can I? Mica smiled and nodded: -Of course. She happily took it, and the other maids gathered around and surrounded the maid with the photo album, looking at it excitedly and whispering: -Miss Noboa is so beautiful! -Yes, yes, and Mr. Aguayo is so handsome! -They are a perfect couple! ... Mica blushed slightly and had breakfast in silence. -What are you nning to do today? -Carlos asked. -I''m going to the orphanage to see Mother Director and the children. I felt it had been a long time since I had been there and I missed them. Carlos nodded. "There are noplicated people at the orphanage, they are all innocent children." -May the driver take you. When he thought of a young man named Mario at the orphanage who was determined to marry Mica, he actually felt a little uneasy in his heart. Knowing that he was worried about himself, Mica agreed without hesitation: -Good. "The signing date with Brinte is tomorrow, so today will be a day off." Chapter 181 : You Gave Him This Chance Chapter 181 : You Gave Him This Chance Chapter 181 : You Gave Him This Chance After breakfast, Diego went out to wait for Carlos, while Mica went upstairs and picked out a tie for Carlos. Since thest time he had taught Mica how to tie a tie, Carlos had always asked Mica to do it for him. Carlos looked at Mica who was knotting his tie with care and skill and smiled happily ... At that moment, some people were also busy. -Have you contacted the journalists? -Yes, they are on their way. -And the troll army? -Don''t worry, everything is ready. As soon as the live broadcast starts, the inte reports will be all praise for you. Hearing this, Amelia was relieved. She stood in the room that Brinte had specially prepared for the press conference, looking around at the busy staff and smiling triumphantly at the thought of the glory she was about to achieve. Adriana and Ivanna had also arrived early at the office. Ivanna was angry at Adriana''s deception and use of her, but she had no more friends in Brinte, and since she was now a popr girl thanks to her family''s financial support, she didn''t care about the results of thest program. At this point, the three women had one thing inmon: to put Mica to shame! -Have you seen today''s news? There are several messages saying that the model on the cover of Excellent Taste-Fashion is the one in the grand finale of Garzanca! -Someone suddenly said out loud. Amelia''s heart immediately skipped a beat. "How could this have happened at this moment?" The three women rushed to pull out their phones to check. The press was already flying. -The Excellent Taste-Fashion model and the Garzanca grand finale model are suspected to be the same person! -The most beautiful sh of faces, could it be the same person? -Could the new model that Brinte is signing be the cover model of Excellent Taste-Fashion? ... The reports were full of detailedparative photos, as well as ttery and spection about the girl. Comments fromizens were also very lively: -I''ve suspected this for a long time! -I''ve been guessing for a long time that they would be the same person! -It''s just a different style, one indifferent, one soft! ... Amelia was so angry at the news that she hastened to order her subordinates to go and create a public opinion that these two are definitely not the same person. Adriana and Ivanna watched Amelia''s anxiety with cold eyes, looking at each other as if saying in their minds. "She deserves it!" Although they were both jealous that Mica''s photo was on the cover of Excellent Taste and that she was so perfectly photographed ... -Fuck, how Mica was lucky enough to be chosen for the cover of Excellent Taste-Fashion .... Her All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. boyfriend must have paid to help her! -Adriana grumbled in disgust. She didn''t tell the others that Mica''s boyfriend was Carlos, the first reason was that they were all just her spections and she didn''t dare say anything until she had definite proof. The second reason was that she feared that if she did, people would envy Mica even more. She hated that Mica was an object of envy, so she only mentioned it to Marcos. Ivanna heard Adriana''sint and said skeptically. -I don''t think so, you gave her this opportunity in the first ce. Adriana looked at Ivanna with wide eyes: -What the hell are you talking about? "How could I have given Mica such a chance!" Ivanna carefully remembered and stated: -You remember the time we went to Moontime, don''t you? You asked me to humiliate Mica and, as a result, Mica was relieved by a man, Gael Mariano, the editor-in-chief of Excellent Taste. Adriana had an incredulous look on her face. But she also vaguely remembered that she had heard people in the bar that daymenting that the man was the editor-in-chief of Excelente Gusto. -If you hadn''t asked me to humiliate Mica that day, then Gael wouldn''t have helped her and there probably wouldn''t have been so much behind it! -Ivanna analyzed, feeling that she was still very smart. Amelia, who was standing to the side, also overheard their conversation and immediately scoffed: -I''ve finally learned what a stupid teammate is! Adriana looked at Amelia nkly: -Can you see the future in advance? Then why didn''t you foresee the illness you had before you got on stage? You have the most credit for having made Mica what she is today! She turned to see Katarina, dressed in a professional outfit and surrounded by people. He hurried to approach her again. -Katarina, sorry, I''ve moved up the press conference, I guess that''s okay? She and Katarina had agreed on a date for the press conference, butst night she had asked around and learned that tomorrow was the day Mica and Brinte were signing. Fearing that something else might happen and that Katarina might not be sincere in her support, Amelia had moved up the date! "Does Amelia really have it covered!" Katarina tried to keep a very calm expression, looked around the room and nodded: -Of course it''s no problem, just, are you ready? "Katarina seems to really have my back." Amelia nodded with relief and showed him the news on her phone: -But what are we going to do today with all this news that''sing out? Katarina looked at it, smiled and said: -Isn''t it better? I was worried that people had forgotten about the Garzanca news, and now with this opportunity with Excellent Taste, you''re back in the public eye with your custom-made dress, getting your glory and breaking this rumor, isn''t that two birds with one stone? "Yes, this kind of reversal of drama is what the public likes to see." Amelia looked at Katarina gratefully: -Katarina, thank you for giving me this opportunity! Katarina nodded: -You said you would bring more attention than Mica, so I''m helping you, don''t fail me! Amelia replied confidently and firmly: -I will definitely bring more profit to thepany! Katarina turned around, and nodded to Adriana, she left. "Adriana had recently gotten closer with Marcos, who also seemed to be nning to get engaged after my wedding to Antonio. There is an increasing chance of meeting this woman in the future... " Chapter 183 : LetS Recreate The Scene Chapter 183 : Let''S Recreate The Scene A girl''s voice rang out from the doorway! Amelia was mentally startled and stared at the girl. "What was going on, who is this girl?" Everyone present turned unconsciously. It was Ana, who looked at Amelia with a righteous look and said: -This Miss Athens is an impostor! The reporters turned their cameras on Ana. -What makes you say that Miss Athens is an impostor, Miss? -Do you have any proof? -If Miss Athens wasn''t the real grand finale girl, then who was? The reporters were quick to speak, thinking to themselves: "Hey, this is more interesting than the news we just had!" Ana held up the Excellent Taste magazine she was holding in her hand and said loudly: -The person who photographed the cover of Excellent Taste is the real one from the grand finale in Garzanca program! Thepanions who came behind Ana also said in a loud voice: -Yes, Athens is a fake. Adriana and Ivanna gritted their teeth in anger. They both recognized Ana, but they didn''t expect Ana to say so much. Adriana hated Mica more than Amelia, so without hesitation she said: -Don''t listen to her nonsense, the dress Amelia is wearing is the best proof, she had it custom made by James, it''s the only one! As you can see, it fits her very well, and isn''t it the same as that day? Owned by N?velDrama.Org. -Yes, it is indeed the same dress that day, there''s no mistaking it! It''s true that custom-made dresses don''t fit everyone! Amelia nodded to her assistant, who immediately handed her a document. Amelia opened the file and insisted on showing it to the camera, saying: -This is the agreement I signed with Brinte, it clearly says that I will be the grand finale guest of Garzanca, and it has Mr. Sarmiento''s signature, so you can read it. All the journalists gathered to take a look. The agreement was clearly written, and it was indeed true. The journalists began to use Ana: -Why have youe to cause trouble? -That''s right, we''re live! -Come on somebody, get these people out! Ana was furious: -Are you blind? This woman is clearly not the one from that day. -All right! They say that the eyes of the people are demanding, and you? Are you already paid by Amelia? Mica''s colleagues shouted loudly, making several journalists a little afraid to speak on the spot again.... Ana continued: -The grand finale girl that day is called Mica, designer of Nubcancion, and the reason she didn''t Katarina also came downstairs at that time. When the reporters saw her, they immediately gathered around Katarina and rushed to ask: -Miss Carballo, you were a special guest on Garzanca''s program, may I ask you if you think Miss Athens was really the grand finale? -Miss Carballo, you are a cousin of Mr. Sarmiento, the president of Brinte, so you must know the inside story? -Miss Carballo, the number of viewers of this live broadcast is increasing, please you must give the general public a reasonable exnation! Katarina looked at the aggressive journalists, smiled at the camera, pulled Amelia and asked in a low voice: -What''s going on, you said there won''t be any problem, didn''t you? We are live, are you trying to ruin Brinte''s reputation? The presenter, who had been pushed aside, raised a microphone and exined: -This Dress conference has been a real disaster todav, Miss Carballo''s oresence should be another chanae of scenerv, I wonder how Brinte will handle it. Please don''t go away, we will be reporting live from the event! Amelia didn''t know what to do: -Katarina, help me, I don''t know why this is happening! Katarina frowned and said: -There''s no way out, just try it, you put on a show! -What? Before Amelia could react, Katarina turned around and calmly said to the camera: -Friends, thank you for paying so much attention to Brinte, and since there''s controversy over this, let''s recreate the scene and ask Miss Athens to prove it to you! The audience paused and then reacted: -Yes, Brinte has a catwalk with the whole outfit. if Miss Athens wears that same outfit, shees back on stage, won''t it be clear to us? Amelia frowned slightly. It certainly wasn''t a problem for her, after all, she had a personal trainer who had been helping her practice at home for a long time. What worried her was whether Mica woulde to "The dress was custom-made by me, it was the only one in all of Tdia, and it even had the mask Mica was wearing that day. Mica had nothing, and even if she dide, who could be sure it was her?" With this in mind, Amelia raised her head confidently and said aloud. -That''s right, since everyone has doubts, I''ll show it to you live again! Katarina and Ana looked at each other in silence. Immediately the scene erupted. -That''s a good idea! The staff immediately went to confirm the avability of the venue and the presenter spoke enthusiastically: -Everyone, I''m sure you all remembered the end of the Garzanca program on the 21st ofst month. Today, Miss Athens is going to perform for us once again, and for those of you nearby,e check it out as we continue to bring you live coverage! Sitting in the surveince room, Hector and Eric watched the live surveince video of the press conference as they watched the Intementary on theirputers. -I''ming! -I''ming! -This woman better be the one that day, because if not, what I''m most looking forward to is the cover story of Excellent Taste. -I''m also looking forward to seeing the cover star of Excellent Taste! -Ladies and gentlemen, we are here in room 3 of Brinte and, as you can see, the whole room is almost full, so there seems to be a lot of interest in today''s news! -I''m a reporter from X TV and we bring you the best moments of Brinte live! -I''m a reporter from S TV, and we''ll be covering it all for you! Not only curious onlookers of all kinds came to the event, but also journalists from various TVworks and entertainment weeklies. Chapter 184 : LetS Vote Live! Chapter 184 : Let''S Vote Live! All the women arrived in room 3 and were surprised to see that it was already full of people. Amelia was delighted. "If I made an effort to present myself, I would definitely be the brightest of the models, and then the one from Grupo Aguayo would definitely be me!" Adriana and Ivanna were furious that it was not them but Amelia who was the star of the show. Katarina took a seat in the guest stand, Ana and her colleagues sat in the audience and Amelia headed backstage. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. There was no one backstage and Amelia headed straight to where she was ready to go on stage. The bright lights came on and illuminated the stage. Amelia looked at the magnificent scenery and got a little excited.... "This is my first parade and I''m doing it alone! Thanks to the unexpected situationst time, I now have this opportunity! I''m so d I did." This time it was definitely more lively than thest Garzanca show, the room was packed with people just to see Amelia! "Who''s the one in the VIP seat, who''s the one in the VIP seat, Mr. Sarmiento is sitting there! And Mr. Eric and some executives from thepany. " Amelia was so excited, she felt like she was going to faint from the excitement.. Suddenly, Amelia covered the ce where her heart was. There was Carlos, sitting in the center, handsome and noble, looking at the stage with sharp eyes. Amelia''s heart was pounding so hard she couldn''t breathe. "Oh, my God, Carlos hase to see me too? I know I''m the one who is special to Carlos!" A snow-white light hit Amelia''s body. She put on the same mask Mica had worn and took a deep breath. "Come on, Amelia, do well, if you seed today, you''ll be the best model in Brinte. With that status, Carlos will only have eyes for you in the future.'' The music started and Amelia walked out confidently. She walked out with a calm step, a confident smile on her face, looking straight ahead as if she already saw herself at the top of her life. -Ah, she''s so beautiful, this dress is so pretty! -Yes, this dress is really beautiful... -It''s weird, I always think this girl looks a little different! -Yes... -Seeing her figure and the dress, she really, really looks like that girl from Garzanca!. The people below the stage began to talk. Amelia stood at the front of the stage, very close to the VIP seats. She didn''t pay attention to the talk, but looked at Carlos carefully, trying to see a surprised expression on his face, but in the end she didn''t see anything, Carlos'' eyes didn''t evennd on her.... "What''s wrong? He''s looking in the direction of the stage, but why isn''t he looking at me?" -Wow! -Oh, my God, there''s another beauty," the audience burst into a gasp. Only to see another lighte on at the back of the stage, illuminating a slender figure. The person, wearing the same dress as Amelia and the same mask, slowly walked out with the hem of her skirt in one hand... Carlos watched Mica without blinking, seeing hering closer and closer to him, as if she were walking not towards the end of the stage, but towards his heart.... Carlos regretted not having been there to see Mica''s first catwalk in personst time, but today he finally was.... Therge screen that took up the entire wall clearly showed the scene on the stage, and Amelia, who was standing at the front of the stage, stared in disbelief at the girl slowly approaching... "It''s Mica, she''s really here, with the same dress and mask as me, and she''s even more charming than before..." At that moment Amelia''s mind went nk. She was so jealous and angry about Mica''s performance been the leadingdy, but at this moment, watching Mica walk slowly, the only thing left in Amelia''s mind was shock.... -How can there be two girls? -I think I like the second one better! -Yes. ves. the second one is reallv beautiful like no other! -I finally know what''s weird about the first one! The first girl became thepanion of the dress, while the second one, on the other hand, was even more beautiful because of this beautiful dress! The stage was again buzzing with excitement. Mica walked to the front of the stage with the same smile asst time, only this time her eyes were only on Carlos... As the music continued, Mica stood next to Amelia and paused for a moment before turning around and walking to the beat of the music. Amelia reacted and followed suit. "A fight on the same stage is? That''s what Katarina and Mr. Sarmiento were ultimately after, isn''t it? Well, they have, and all I''ve done is prepare Mica for this moment? I will not admit defeat, I will never lose to the inexperienced Mica! Whoever wins today will be the protagonist!" Amelia put on her best face, turned around and walked back to the stage. They both stopped together at the front of the stage, same attire, same height, the only difference was the partse of their faces showing.. At that moment, Katarina also came on stage, taking the microphone and saying energetically: -Wee to Brinte and thank you for watching this program with only two models, you must know today''s theme very well. Let''s vote live! Who is the queen of day 21 in your opinion? Chapter 185 : Such A Great Victory. Chapter 185 : Such A Great Victory. The room immediately came to a boil, everyone started using the small voting machines next to their seats. On the big screen, the figures of two models appeared, while Katarina stood between the two and narrated: -On my left, number 1, and on my right, number 2, please choose! Ana happily pressed the number 2 button. -Number 2, Mica is the best! Thepanions who came with Ana also chose number 2 without hesitation. -Let''s ask the audience, what did they choose? -said Katarina, pointing to the staff on stage, where the audience rushed to take the microphone that was handed to them. -I choose number 2! The microphone was passed to someone else: -If there is no number 2, you can choose number 1, but with number 2, you have to choose her! Next: -Although number 2 is not as good as number 1 in terms of walking, I just like number 2! The murmurs went up. Carlosughed softly and looked at Mica on the stage. "Mica obviously hadn''t said a word and had already captured the support of many people." Mica also looked at Carlos. "Isn''t he allergic to perfume? Is he really okay sitting in the middle of all these people?" Even though the VIP seats were special, there were no other women around, and there were even some bodyguards in the back to keep order, Mica was still vaguely concerned. She just wanted to get this show over with and get Carlos out of the way.... When she arrived at Carlos'' office today, there were already people waiting for her, and there was even a dress ready for her, exactly the same one she wore on the day of the show! "How did Carlos get this dress?" Carlos didn''t exin much, but said that there had been a change of ns and that Mica should go to Brinte to sign in when she was ready. As soon as Mica had changed, the stylists and makeup artists came over. At that point Mica asked no more questions and decided to do what Carlos wanted, which led to the current scene. In fact, Mica realized, upon seeing that Amelia was wearing the same dress as her, that it must have been deliberately arranged.... Amelia could hardly keep her smile on stage anymore. "Why is this happening, why?" She had prepared well, but the audience was not her hired water power, what to do? -The winner of the vote will be hired by Brinte immediately! -Katarina made another powerful announcement. Amelia''s body shuddered.... Adriana and Ivanna looked at each other and understood that it was impossible for Amelia to win.... -Okay, the audience has already voted, so please watch the big screen and we will announce the results right now. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. The audience looked at the big screen. The big screen showed two numbers, number 1 and number 2. The only thing that was marked is that support for number 2 has continued to increase, while number 1 has hardly changed. Ana looked at the result and murmured in surprise. -My God, is it such a big victory? Katarina fretted and looked at Amelia, only to see that the expression on Amelia''s face was getting harder and harder. But who had told her to fool herself in the first ce? For Garzanca''s program, the grand finale was going to be an open choice of Brinte''s team, but Amelia had somehow managed to convince thepany executives to unanimously ask Hector to use Amelia for the finale. It was not a good idea to start with an unfair opportunity. Katarina continued. -The voting is still going on and number 2 is very clearly ahead, so let''s ask our friends in the audience why they should choose number 2, shall we? At that moment, the stage crew pointed the microphone at a man. The man immediately stood up and said: -I was there to watch the Garzanca runwayst time, and I thought then that the guest of the finale was not only beautiful, but also had a special aura, so as soon as she came out today, I knew she was No. 2! -Yes, the appearance, the clothes, everything is external, but the aura of girl number 2 is unique! -Number 2 is clearly more beautiful thanst time! Last time she had an unapproachable noble indifference, but this time, those eyes were clearly softer, like a fairy! -I''m actually curious to know if girl number 2 is in a rtionship! The others sitting next to her spoke with much enthusiasm.... Mica blushed slightly. "Is it that obvious?" Amelia was simply furious, but she had to restrain herself in the face of such an audience. -Well, the voting is over and number 2 has received 498 votes, a clean sweep! Katarina didn''t say that the result was 498 votes to 2, which was best for Amelia''s dignity! There was a standing ovation. The remaining two votes were cast by Adriana and Ivanna? -Would both models please take off their masks! At Katarina''s words, the stage erupted again. Amelia gritted her teeth and removed her mask, trying to put on a smile. Still, there were murmurs of approval from the audience: -She''s pretty too! -In fact, without the mask, she could have passed for real! But most didn''t buy it. -How can you pass yourself off as someone else? -Yes, it''s too much! -What a shame! -If we hadn''t discovered each other now, we''d all be fooled! "It''s live, I can''t get angry..." Amelia told him secretly. Someone on stage shouted for #2 to take off his mask as well, and Mica did so in response, and the stage went instantly silent.... After a long while, there was a loud cry of surprise. -It''s the girl who did the cover of Excellent Taste-Fashion! -It''s really her! My God, it''s the same person! -Precious, wow, Brinte would be lucky to sign with her! Amelia couldn''t contain her anger at the praise for Mica and shouted at her. -Mica, you bitch! It''s clear that you stole my chance, you wore my clothes, you stole my glory, you stole everything that belonged to me! You are a thief. The whole room erupted. -My God, what''s going on? -What did Miss Athens mean by that? -It''s obvious that #2 was the girl of the day, but why did Miss Athens say #2 stole her glory? Chapter 186 : The Model With The Most Special Treatment. Chapter 186 : The Model With The Most Special Treatment. There was some confusion. Katarina, who was standing on the stage, also became a little nervous, she hadn''t expected Amelia to say something like that in such a public ce! Carlos also frowned slightly. "This damn woman has the nerve to talk about my baby like that." ncing at Mica, who was still calmly standing on the stage, Carlos resisted the urge to help her. "She has to try to deal with the unexpected on stage." Mica held out her hand and gestured for Katarina to hand her the microphone. Taking the microphone and taking a deep breath, Mica looked at Carlos, as if giving him the courage. Carlos also looked at Mica with seriousness and attention. Mica opened her mouth softly. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. -Hello everyone, I''m Mica Noboa. The audience, which had been noisy, calmed down a bit and some marveled at how good Mica''s voice sounded. -The opportunity to be on that Garzanca program on the 21st was really Miss Atenas''. Amelia was so surprised that she even wondered if her ears had misheard. -Was it really Miss Athens'' chance in the first ce? -But why did it change? Everyone in the room, except Carlos, was surprised and Eric was even worried that Mica no longer wanted to sign with Brinte. Eric got up and headed backstage. Hector and Carlos whispered something and Carlos nodded. With Carlos'' approval, Hector also got up and followed Eric. Mica continued: -On the 21st, I was just there to meet a friend, but Miss Athens was sick and had to be operated on immediately, so I went up on stage. Voices began to rise from below the stage. -Wow, so that''s what happened! -No wonder Miss Athens was able to show the deal just now! -Eric has a good eye, Miss Noboa is a better choice for the finale than Miss Athens! -Yes, she''s a natural model! -So there''s no Miss Noboa stealing Miss Athens'' honor? -Yes, she lost her chance, but Miss Noboa helped her, didn''t she? -Only Eric or the other Brinte executives are to me, how innocent is Miss Noboa! -Miss Noboa is so beautiful, it''s only natural that Eric would want to sign her! The chatter was getting louder and louder, and the reporters in the audience were excitedly taking notes. This repeated reversal of drama gives much to write about. Amelia red at Mica: -Don''t think I''m going to appreciate you for saying that! Chapter 187 : What The Hell Should I Do To Crush Her? Chapter 187 : What The Hell Should I Do To Crush Her? Mica had no intention of hurting Amelia, the only person she wanted revenge on was Adriana, but Adriana had little to do with the incident. Katarina could not resist saying: -Mica, Amelia didn''t just want to re-establish the truth, do you think her motive was simply to be famous, to sign Brinte? Eric continued nodding his head and Hector spoke: -Miss Noboa, you don''t know how much she paid to get that ce in the Garzanca finals, do you? It''s not an easy character," he looked at Carlos. Carlos'' brow furrowed. However, Mica took the floor: N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. -1 Know, ner ovjectlve IS Carlos. Carlos looked at Mica with some displeasure and thought. "Babe, how carefree are you that you don''t have a thought when someone lusts after your man so much?" Mica also looked at Carlos and blushed, but without hesitation she said: -I have not the slightest fear that he wille to steal Carlos from me, for, this is a man he cannot take from me. The crowd stopped... At that moment the waiter came in with the food cart and brought the dishes to the table. Katarina said half-heartedly: -Hey, show of affection, you win, Mica. Carlos'' face was expressionless, he simply took Mica''s hand and stood up: -The food is ready, go wash your hands. Pulling Mica towards the bathroom and closing the door, Carlos then pushed Mica against the door and kissed her.... He kissed her passionately, resting one hand on the door and wrapping the other around Mica''s waist to pull her towards him, as if he wanted to rub her against him.... Mica grabbed Carlos'' shirt, her heart beating rapidly until she felt herself suffocating before she pushed him away.... Carlos released his grip on her and his lips dropped a faint, thin kiss on the corner of her eye and eyebrow, saying in a low, muffled voice: -Mica, remember what you said, I''m yours, no one else can take it away. Mica''s little face flushed.... When they came out, everyone automatically ignored Mica''s flushed cheeks and swollen lips, because no one dared to make a joke about Mr. Aguayo! Everyone waited for the two toe out before they started eating. During the meal, everyone couldn''t help but stare at Carlos and Mica. "How can the image of the noble Mr. Aguayo taking care of his girlfriend''s food be so beautiful?" It was not the first time Katarina saw such a harmonious and beautiful scene, but she still felt very envious. She thought of her boyfriend, Antonio, who was about to get married and who was also very considerate, but not as considerate as Carlos. However, it was impossible topare people, and Katarina thought about it for a moment before insisting on it. Mica suddenly asked Katarina: -When did you start nning this today? Chapter 188: IM Yours Chapter 188: I''M Yours Katarina shook her head. -We arranged for someone to expose Amelia, but before we could get going, your colleagues showed up, meaning you have a great rtionship with them! Mica blushed a little and in her heart she was even more grateful to Ana and those colleagues. Katarina suddenly said to Hector: -Brother, you pay for this meal! Brinte is the biggest winner today, and the advertising is really low- cost and high-yield! In fact, it didn''t cost a penny to advertise, but it was better than advertised, and the biggest winner was indeed Brinte! Hector says in all seriousness: -I am honored to invite Mr. Aguayo and Miss Noboa to lunch. Eric looked at Mica and said: -Honey, we didn''t ask us to hide this from you, Mr. Aguayo did! Carlos frowned. "Honey? This man might have looked like a sissy, but he was still a man, and to call Mica with such affection?" Katarina reacted in time, she had seen how possessive Carlos was of Mica thest time she had dinner with him.... She said aloud: -Mr. Eric, you need to get out of the habit of calling people "sweetheart"! Eric didn''t take Katarina''s hint and said without hesitation: -Who says I address everyone as sweetie, I just call people I like "sweetie", okay? Katarina was speechless.... Hector was also worried about Eric. From reading the contract it appeared that Mr. Aguayo was extremely possessive of Mica.... It was then that Eric noticed Carlos'' disgusted face and exined to him: -I mean that I only care about the models I like, the models only... Seeing Carlos'' more somber face, Eric hastened to add: -Uh, well, sorry, I remember, Mica, Miss Noboa! Micaughed. To change the subject, Mica looked at Carlos and asked: -Why didn''t you tell me before? -Of course, because we didn''t want you to be nervous and think about it too much! -Katarina took the floor. Mica was sure that was one of the reasons, but there must be something else, so she kept looking at Carlos seriously. Carlos also looked at Mica and said briefly: -If I had told you, you would not have attended. "What?" Everyone looked at Mica in disbelief: -Why? What a great opportunity this is," asked Katarina, feeling strange. Mica looked at Carlos with some excitement and then lowered her head. "How do you know me so well?" -I think this is too much for Miss Athens, she lost that opportunity so it''s normal that she wants to get it back.... -Mica looked at Katarina-, Actually, that time at the cafe, if Adriana and Ivanna hadn''t been so nasty, I would have N?velDrama.Org is the owner. attended her press conference to help her to restore the truth.... Chapter 189: Eat, Drink And Sleep. Chapter 189: Eat, Drink And Sleep. -It was when you looked at the designs for the wedding decorations. Everything was inspired by Amelia and I immediately nned in my head the drama that was going to happen today. Eric was also delighted to say: -Katarina is a very thoughtful person and as soon as she told us about it, I was sure it was going to attract a lot of attention. Katarina continued triumphantly: -Yes, it went much better than we expected! When my brother, Eric and I made the decision, we contacted Mr. Aguayo directly, while you were in Nation Mangzarent. Carlos said yes after only a moment''s thought, after all, Mica really wanted to get into modeling, and a good start was essential. "Mangzarent Nation, it was my birthday.... That night Carlos got a phone call, was it from Katarina?" -Because she wanted to ask your boyfriend to help James make a dress just like Amelia''s, and although he agreed he also exined that I shouldn''t tell you about our ns. "Carlos knew Mica so well that if I had told him my ns, there might not have been such a sessful show and signing today." Mica looked at Carlos and muttered: -So I''m thest to know? Ericughed: -Hahahaha, good thing you''ve practiced your proverbial ability to react! Mica was still a little sad, thinking that it was a cruel end for Amelia Towards the end of lunch, Mica''s phone rang and she was about to go out to answer it when Carlos grabbed her hand. -Don''t get out of my sight,e over to the couch and answer the phone. Carlos was still haunted by the memory of what had happened to Mica thest time he hade for dinner. Mica remembered it too and nodded her head, then gestured to show Carlos the screen; it was Alba. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Mica then walked over to the sofa and sat down, picking up the phone, to speak in a deliberately low voice so as not to disturb the others. Carlos looked at Katarina. He had asked Diego to list all the asions he had been on, and he searched carefully, but there was not a shred of evidence that he had met Katarina, Mica together at the same time on any previous asion. This was as difficult as it had been before. -Does yourpany have a contract with that woman? -Carlos asked Hector. Hector thought for a moment before realizing that the woman Carlos was referring to was Amelia. -No, we were going to sign it after the final Garzanca program as well, sorry, I didn''t know at the time that she was the woman in that case. Carlos nodded: -Don''t sign it. -Are you going to stop helping Grupo Atenas? -More than that. Hector frowned, his instinct told him that Carlos was not making this decision just because of this incident Mica smiled as she ended the call and returned to the table, asking Eric: -Mr. Eric, is it okay if I bring an assistant with me when Ie to work at Brinte? Eric nodded and asked curiously: -Of course it is, but you just signed up and you already have someone to be your assistant? Mica smiled, nodded and looked at Carlos, saying: -It''s Alba, she will be back soon and will arrive in Tdia in the afternoon. She is my best friend. Carlos'' brow furrowed slightly as he remembered what Alba had texted him. After dinner, Eric and Mica finalized tomorrow''s training time and said goodbye at the front door. Suddenly, Katarina pulled Mica closer to her car and pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the passenger side and handed it to Mica. -Mica, here''s a little present for you, congrattions on signing Brinte! -said Katarina mischievously and raised an eyebrow, pointing to Carlos who was not far away. Mica felt a little surprised, but she couldn''t refuse, so she took it, smiling and thanking him. While Katarina gave her gift to Mica, Carlos turned to Hector and Eric and told them in a pertinent tone: -I don''t want to see my wife harmed in the least if she works at Brinte in the future. Hector assured Hector: -Mr. Aguayo, don''t worry, we will fulfill the contract to the letter. Carlos nodded, and Mica approached with the gift box in her arms, without having heard their conversation. Mica sat in the passenger seat and tried to open the gift, but thought of Katarina''sst special look, so she didn''t want to open the box here. "Didn''t Katarina want Carlos to know what was in the box?" She decided she would open the gift when she was alone. Carlos gave her a sidelong nce and asked: -What is it? Mica replied yfully: -It''s a gift from Katarina, I''m going to admire it alone and I won''t let you see it. Carlos smiled, loving the lovely Mica very much. "She liked the gifts so much?" Mica was very happy inside at the thought that Alba would soon be back to keep herpany. She looked at Carlos and asked: -Carlos, is it possible to give Alba the room next to ours? Mica was talking about the apartment in Barrio Fann. Immediately after realizing what he had said, Mica blushed. "The room next to ours? In my conscience, the room I sleep in is shared by both of us? '' Ever since they returned from Mangzarent Nation, they stayed at Nyisrenda, except for the night when Carlos had a fever, Mica always slept in her own room and she had the feeling that Carlos had never again sneaked into her room while she slept At the thought of this Mica felt a slight sense of loss -Shouldn''t she go back home and stay there? -Carlos asked. Mica said: -She said she would do her duty to do her best to eat with me, drink with me and dor.... Mica violently covered her mouth with her hand Carlos looked at Mica as he drove and said: -Is this honor of sleeping with you going to be reserved for me? Mica said nothing because she did not know what to say. Carlos continued asking: -Don''t you prefer to spend time with two people? Mica hurried to exin: -Certainly she won''t stay with us all the time, only asionally, so it''s good to have a room for her just in case. Carlos was a bit resistant, not only because he didn''t want other women to enter the house reserved for Mica, but for other reasons that he couldn''t exin at the moment. Now that Mica had asked him, Carlos would not let her down. -It''s up to you. Mica smiled happily and Carlos saw her smile and felt the ufortable feeling in his heart slowly fade away. -Shall I walk you to your office now? -I hear your French is very good, so I need you to trante something for me. Mica asked, puzzled: -How do you know? "I don''t think I''ve ever spoken French in front of him!" -Diego told me. Mica jumped to her feet and agreed immediately. -How did you and Katarina get to know each other so well? -Carlos asked. As far as he could remember, Mica''s first encounter with Katarina had been very unpleasant. Carlos was a bit surprised when Mangzarent Nation received a call from Katarina saying she wanted Mica to sign with Brinte. He asked Katarina why she wanted to help Mica in this way, was it just to help Hector get the Brinte name out there? Katarina answered at that moment that she really wanted to be friends with Mica. Carlos had met a lot of people and although he had only briefly touched Katarina a few times, he was sure that Katarina had no ill will towards Mica, so he agreed to Katarina''s n. Now that the n was working well, he had to be more careful to protect the girl in front of him. Mica was a bit confused by the question and, after a moment of recollection, she said slowly: -I don''t know... Carlos looked at Mica and said nothing. "She''s attractive, but she doesn''t know herself..." Vi of the Davalos family. Bianca was curled up on the couch in her room, watching Brinte''s video of the day on her iPad. "Mica, the woman''s name is Mica The article in Excellent Taste to show her love to Carlos was deleted at Carlos'' expense! Even her column in this issue was deleted and the story was banned from the Inte. She wanted everyone to know, but instead of getting the results she deserved, she received gossip from her rtives. Although many days had passed since the incident and her mother and father had finally stopped talking about it in front of her, she still felt especially ufortable, and her parents'' reaction was particrly stifling. She had adored Carlos for so many years, how could she fall in love with someone else just because he said so? And it wasn''t fair to Tomas..... There was a knock at the door and Bianca answered. Outside the door stood a maid with a file in her hand, saying respectfully: -Miss, this is the letter that just arrived, the delivery man said it was the information you wanted. Bianca nodded, took the information, closed the door and sat back down on the sofa. Pulling the stack of papers out of the folder, Bianca looked at it carefully and put it down in two minutes Chapter 195 : You Can Be Born Again. Chapter 195 : You Can Be Born Again. Chapter 195 : You can be born again. Asked the other model, -We all joined with Brinte by being qualified by AFIA. Why did you join without doing anything? -It''s not fair! -She''s not fit to be a model! -She is not worthy of her orientation! The others also protested the injustice. Adriana stopped in the middle of them full of satisfaction and did not speak. Before Mica and Eric came, she and Ivanna Aleman were talking to the models about the different deals that Mica epted. So they reigned in Eric''s studio to express their dissatisfactions. The models were in charge of making scandals, and Adriana just needed to contemte this farce. -Right? Alba said first. IvannaAre they all AFIA-qualified? And where are the certificates? Some of them quieted down. Alba approached Ivanna. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -What about you? They say you are not professional either. Where is your certificate? -They are training me. I... I get it soon. -Don''t you? I thought you joined because of your family''s wealth. The models startedughing because what Alba said was fact. Ivanna got angry. She never beat Alba every time they argued. -You can incorporate before you are AFIA certified, why Mica no. Did you register for the primary exam? But Mica, the advanced exam. All the models were surprised. Adriana too. It took her a long time to pass the advanced exam. She also registered for the advanced after passing the primary and intermediate. But Mica wanted to pass the advanced directly? Was she that capable? Alba didn''t lie. They talked about it in the elevator. Eric was satisfied. He knew Alba wouldn''t let Mica be mistreated. -Since I demand it, I don''t care if she has the certificate. But we decided to approve it for the so-called justice. And it will convince you. As he finished the words, Eric gave Mica a look. "The so-called justice?" "I''m not precious to hear words like that." Indeed, a model answered in a loud voice, -But we don''t understand, why does he demand it? -He''s not qualified. And just for the face? -He can''t perform for Brinte just because of the face! ... -The face is also an advantage. If it doesn''t satisfy you, you can be born again. Alba answered. The model was speechless, and the othersughed. Mica had consulted beforeing. Normally the models joined after achieving the AFIA certificate. So they were clearly not satisfied with the benefit thepany gave her. She knew she could not depend on Eric and Alba''s protection. If she showed weakness, the women would frequently pester her. She had to make them understand that they could not despise her, or they would not have a good time at Brinte. Mica looked around. Although the modelsughed at Alba''s words, their eyes were filled with contempt. She clenched her fist and looked at the model, saying seriously: -Are you sure I''m not capable of being chosen by Eric? She sighed. Your performance in the Garzanca fashion show? -You seem to remember. I think my performance at Garzanca was as good as yours. At least, no one found out that I''m not a professional model. -Besides, I''m the cover model for Excellent Taste and that also benefits Brinte, yes? They were all speechless. And Adriana gritted her teeth. She didn''t know the opportunity at Garzanca, if she did, she didn''t give it to Mica. Mica followed the words. -The face is my advantage and the behavior is my capacity. I have advantage and ability. Did either of you yield so much profit and poprity for Brinte? Mica took the files Eric gave her. -These are the activity agreements with which Tdiapanies invite me after I join. Do you still think I can''t perform for Brinte? They were a thick stack of papers. The model took the agreements and went through them. Everyone approached. Eric looked at Mica appreciatively. She did not disappoint him. Alba and Mica looked at each other andughed. The agreements were true, on which there was official seal. Eric nced at the models. -Mr. Sarmiento wants to hire them all, but he prefers to consider Mica''s will. Even Mr. Sarmiento has to respect Mica, how dare you despise her? -Besides, why do I need to exin to you the criteria of my selection? How dare you question me? Eric said angrily. Even his high-pitched voice did not diminish the seriousness of the words. All the models were startled. Eric was Brinte''s supreme tutor. They could tell that because he was nice Eric normally, but they began to fear it when they saw him angry. -Eric, we don''t want you to..... Mica gave a sigh. -I just sat up. I know I''m not convincing you because of the fuss I''ve made. Why don''t we have a Adriana couldn''t hold her words. -How dare you? Don''t think you can look down on us for Mr. Eric''s support. Chapter 196 : As If She Were A Noble Lily. Chapter 196 : As If She Were A Noble Lily. Chapter 196 : As if she were a noble lily. Mica had seen it and had known she would be treated that way because of Adriana''s urging. Before Adriana could finish, Mica interrupted her. -An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I don''t know how to despise one, but I know how to treat well those who treat me well. If you provoke me, I won''t let myself be mistreated. Alba looked at Mica. She had changed a lotpared to before. Was it because she was with Aguayo and had a strong mind that she didn''t fear anything? What Mica said was true. She was financing the orphanage where she had been sheltered as a child. And Alba also felt that Mica did a lot of things for her. The models were frightened by Mica''s steady gaze. Since she had the support of Eric and Mr. Sarmiento they feared that she would take revenge on them for what happened this day. They weren''t sure if they were still failing her. Mica looked towards Adriana thinking that she still upied the mansion that belonged to her Adriana and even stole her dream, she was furious. -Adriana, the two of us, wepete now, okay? Alba knew that Mica wanted to beat Adriana to frighten the others. She did well, but... -Here is the studio to rehearse, we can onlypete in professional modeling how dare you throw me a challenge? It''s not as easy as your design! Micaughed. -Okay. Wepete in walking posture and stamina. Everyone was surprised. But Mica still didn''t finish the words. -You don''t trust Mr. Eric, and I don''t trust the models, because you know clearly why they reign here. The models looked at each other wondering if Adriana and Ivanna were saying the words to them in the morning just to take advantage of them. Alba understood Mica''s intention. She took out her cell phone. -We broadcast thispetition live. Let the viewers decide the winner. The others reflected. We were thankful they didn''t say anything. Mica was popr at the moment, they couldn''t beat her on the line. It wasn''t professional Mica, if she lost, no one would look down on her, but for Adriana, she wouldn''t win anything if she beat Mica and even if she lost, it would be worse. Adrianaughed coldly. She was not easy to be fooled. -There''s no need. If I beat you, they''d say I mistreated you. We let Mr. Eric decide the winner. We Adriana was staring at Mica... Eric frowned. Adriana was difficult to deal with. Mica nodded her head as she saw his look of affirmative. -Okay. All the models were waiting for him. It was many years after hisst parade. Many of the models hadn''t seen him. Eric stepped forward and took the folder in the model''s hands and handed it to Alba. He looked at Mica and Adriana, who were wearing skinny pants. -Eric said, "No need. I''ll put a book on your heads and one between your legs. You wear high heels and stop. The one who drops the books loses. Alba thought it wasn''t difficult, but she was wrong. The books were just papers. They were so light that the wind could blow them away. Everyone gathered in the middle of the studio. When Eric finished saying the rules, thepetition began. Adriana stopped as Eric demanded and looked ahead. The models thought Adriana would clearly win. Did Eric really want Mica to win? All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Adriana stopped to the left. Her posture was perfect. And Eric stopped in the middle. Although he was a man, but he didn''t do well wearing high heels. Some models were embarrassed because they didn''t do as good as Eric. If they wore skirts, they would be more attractive than women. And Mica on the right. She would stop as Eric said and squeeze the book between her legs. She would hold her head up with a book on top of it. One of her hands was rxed and the other was cupped. Her expression was cold as if she was a noble lily. The model''s thoughts changed. They couldn''t be sure of the winner seeing Mica like this. Eric looked at Mica in the mirror with admiration. Mica was learning it early. She was so capable that he doubted she had learned to do pageantry. Besides, she had the elegance that no one could imitate. The three of them stopped quietly. No one dared to speak fearing they would be disturbed. Alba wiped away the sweat. It was hot, and there were many people in the studio. But the air conditioner was on the ceiling. It was possible to drag the books down from their heads. No one turned on the unit. They began to murmur. -Yes, Mica has the capacity. -It''s been three hours. I can''t do it. -My Gods. I admire them. Alba took out her cell phone. She couldn''t let Mica continue to suffer. Chapter 197 : They Admired Her. Chapter 197 : They Admired Her. Chapter 197 : They admired her. In Grupo Franco. Marcos Franco declined invitations from friends sitting in the office. He put down the cell phone and kept checking the papers in his hand. The door opened. Antonio Franco walked in. He was happy to see Marcos like this. As the eldest son in the family, Antonio was brought up as the sessor, so Marcos did not want to deal with the family business and had lent the greatest intention in his investment. But he changed his attitude and actively helped him manage thepany. That surprised Antonio. He did not want to argue with Marcos. He was grateful that Marcos didn''t resist him anymore. He told him that he would learn management with effort and certified it with what he did. He worked at thepany on time and didn''t go out at night. He only dated girlfriends rarely. Her change also satisfied her parents thinking that Adriana really had such great charm. But only Marcos knew it was not for Adriana but for another woman. -Marcos. It''s time for lunch. They sent us lunch. At this moment Marcos saw Antonio. Marcos: -Okay. I''lle after I check it. Antonio nodded and went out. Someone sent him a message. He looked at the screen. It was Alba. "Why did she text me?" She hadn''t wanted him since they had been boyfriend and girlfriend Marcos and Mica. She had even seen him going to the hotel with other women. He had told Mica, but she believed the excuse Marcos made up for him. Alba hated him. Why did he send her messages? She checked it and got up from the chair right away. She grabbed her keys and ran out. She stopped by Antonio''s office but didn''t have time to say she couldn''t have lunch with him. In the study. Everyone was sweating. No one came out and didn''t dare. But it was already twelve o''clock, and they were hot and tired. They didn''t want to be here and began topromise. -Stop it. Mr. Eric, I already recognize Mica''s capacity. -It''s too hot. And it''s time for lunch. They can''t make it without water. -It''s over. Mica, we won''t bother you, finish. But they didn''t listen to them. They did not move as if they were stones. Actually, Adriana had reached the limit but she didn''t want to lose Mica. Sweat dampened her eyshes and mascara made her eyes painful. The paint was destroyed. She was so exhausted. So was Eric. He had never worn shoes like this for so many times. Her legs trembled and she dropped the book. It surprised him and left him on the head. They all reflected and held it. They pulled up a chair. Eric took off his shoes and sat down. He drank water and then said, -Fuck. I can''t beat you guys. -It''s so impressive to insist for three hours. -We can''t do it. They all came up to Eric and fawned over him. However, Alba pressed her cell phone and looked at the two of them. They were still holding their ground. They suddenly calmed down, because they discovered that the two were still holding back. Pale-faced, Mica''s mouth was dry. But when the sweat fell from her precious jaw, they looked wonderful to her. And Adrianan, the sweat destroyed his paint and made him look like a clown. Alba knew that Mica endured the heat more than the cold. She hardly everined in the summer. She was thankful it wasn''t winter, because she couldn''t stand the cold. But it had been a long time. He had sweated a lot without drinking. If he kept it up, he''d pass out from heatstroke. Eric got up. -Stop it, stop it. Don''t go on. The A-level model said to Mica sincerely, -I admire you. We''ll get along fine. You can finish. Micaughed and said: -Thank you. But it''s thepetition between Adriana and me. I don''t quit before she quits. Alba admires her but wanted her to quit. She knew that since she threw the challenge to Adriana, she would beat her with all her effort. She encouraged Mica in her mind. Mica looked towards Eric and Alba. -Don''t worry. I can insist. They were all surprised. I admired her for her demeanor and words. She was so professional that she didn''t lose any of them. Eric was also happy to meet such a treasure. Alba put a bulb in the bottle and gave it to Mica. -Take it. Ivanna wanted her to take it because if she felt like peeing, she would lose. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. However Mica just looked at Alba andughed. She did not open her mouth. Alba gave up and looked at Adriana coldly. Actually, Adriana wished someone would talk her into it because she couldn''t hold it but she didn''t want to give up because of dignity. What the fuck Eric! She thought of a remedy like that. They admired Mica''s modeling and it was not difficult to make everyone reproach her. With this situation, how could she lose such a simplepetition? But at this moment, the studio door opened. In walked a man in a gray suit. He ran so fast so he was breathing deeply. Everyone turned their heads in surprise. Chapter 198 : Do You Fail? Chapter 198 : Do You Fail? Chapter 198 : Do You Fail? It was Marcos. As he entered, he saw Mica and rushed up to her. Adriana saw him and thought he came for her. She was surprised and happy, but when she saw what Marcos did, she confused and the two books fell down. Everyone saw them and cheered. -Adriana loses! Marcos already approached Mica, he turned around listening to the cheering. Adriana looked at him surprised and disappointed. They said they could find their favorite person in the crowd with just a nce, so she could only see Mica Marcos even though he was so close to her? Adriana was not an excited woman, but she did feel sad about what Marcos did. The models recognized him. -Mr. Franco? Aren''t you Adriana''s boyfriend? -Are you here to surprise Adriana? Albaughed. She achieved her purpose. If Marcos arrived, Adriana would lose. But she was surprised that Marcos took great care of Mica. He only sent her an address and a line: Adriana is failing Mica, are youing to treat her? She wasn''t sure if Marcos came. But he came and approached Mica with concern. However Adriana was the person closest to the door. Alba didn''t want to think so much. -Marcos, you''re wrong. Adriana is there. Then she looked at Adriana. -You lose. Do you still haveints? Adriana noticed the provocation in Alba''s expression. She clenched her fist without saying anything. She knew clearly even if Marcos hadn''t shown up, she couldn''t insist. His appearance helped her. It urred to Ivanna to hold Adriana. She sent Marcos to help her. -Marcos. Help me. He did not know what to do. But he looked at Mica for worrying him. Adriana was taking the books from him. -Are you all right? Marcos asked Mica carefully. Hisst time to see Mica was on the cover of Excellent Taste and in the videos of contracting with Brinte. She had never thought she would be so humble in front of none that she could only express concern carefully. Micaughed briefly: -I''m fine. Mark knew she didn''t want him to approach her, but he didn''t avoid noticing her. He noticed that Mica was not feeling well. Ivanna called out to him again. -Marcos. What''s wrong? Adriana gritted her teeth. Before, she wanted him toe to tell everyone that they fell in love, but he didn''te. And this day he suddenly appeared. For Mica! Alba''s look came to her mind. Was she the one who told Marcos everything? -Honey, are you okay? Eric asked Mica. Alba was holding her and wanted to help her take off her shoes when the models cheered. -Who is he? -How handsome! Alba raised her head and saw Carlos with ck tarje approaching. The gorgeous looks and nobility made all the women in the studio fall in love with him. They were surprised that this man went to Mica directly and got down on his knees. Mica did not realize what happened. Her feet hurt and it was hard to take her shoes. The man squatted down and grabbed her ankle. Mica was startled and then noticed it was Carlos. -Get up. Carlos ordered her. MIca leaned on Alba and did as Carlos said. She removed a shoe quickly. Mica felt embarrassed. Everyone was looking at them. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Carlos was staring at her turgid toes. Had she suffered so much with only half a day? Mica feltfortable after removing the shoe. She wanted to make Carlos stand up when she grabbed his other ankle. Mica could only lift the other leg. He took off the other shoe. He hugged Mica this man. Mica held the idea of screaming and hugged Aguayo''s neck. Aguayo gave Eric a cold look that scared him. Hector arrived with the assistant. The studio was filling up. Hector noticed that except for the working models, they all reigned here. And Marcos was here too. Hector was worried. -Mr. Aguayo Carlos answered him coldly. -What did you tell me before? Everyone admired and feared him for his icy stare. -It''s that... Hector didn''t know what happened. He looked at Eric. It urred to Mica that he was allergic to Carlos perfume, but women with different perfumes were gathering. Besides he knew that if they didn''t leave, everyone suffered. She resented the stares of others. She approached Carlos. -I''m hungry. Let''s eat. Her warm breath caressed his ear and calmed his anger. Carlos gave Hector a cruel look and left, hugging Mica. Everyone was speechless. Chapter 199 : I Kiss You A Little Late. Chapter 199 : I Kiss You A Little Late. Chapter 199 : I kiss you a littlete. Marcos looked towards Adriana. They were staring at Mica. In her eyes he could see anger, envy and desire. He knew Adriana had done something to make Mica suffer, but he didn''t want to reproach her. She didn''t like it, but she was faking it to get what she wanted. Marcos approached her and hugged her too. They left. Ivanna was surprised by what Marcos did. She had never seen him do things like that. Hector rubbed his forehead. He saw an unfamiliar woman. She was beautiful, but she looked sad and lonely. It was Alba. Someone called her on the phone. Alba took out her cell phone. It was Mica. She looked at Eric. -There were so many people who can exin what happened. You don''t need me. I''m leaving. She left as she finished the words. -I''m sorry. He''s leaving fast, Carlos. Come down, we''re in the parking lot. "I''m not one of you, okay?" He remembered being very impressed by her wonderful appearance when he walked in, like the day he saw the photo he took, in which he and Mica were embracing. -No need. Call me if you want toe to thepany in the afternoon. He said in a normal tone as if nothing was wrong. Mica''s red fingers came to mind. He felt regret. -I''m sorry. I didn''t know the shoes don''t fit. It''s your size, but they''re narrower. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -It''s okay. It doesn''t hurt at first. I just feel a little sore after I take them off. Let''s go to lunch. -They''re calling me toe home. They say they need to tell me something. He made up an excuse. He knew Mica believed it. Indeed, she didn''t insist. -Okay. I''ll call youter. -Chao. Mica and Carlos sat in the car. Diego started the car. He hung up the phone and heard Carlos order Diego to take them to the hospital. -Don''t be exaggerated. It''s not necessary. Mica didn''t have her shoes on. She sat in the car with bare feet. Carlos carefully put Mica''s legs on his own knees and began to check them. Mica blushed. But she didn''t dare resist Carlos. -I''m fine. I just need some ointment. Carlos said nothing. He didn''t want her to work at Brinte. Only half a day had passed and Mica had suffered so much. He opened the refrigerator door but then closed it. He took a bottle of water from the back. He opened the lid and handed it to Mica. Mica was so thirsty that she drank it all. -Mr. Aguayo, where are we going? Diego was confused. One said they were going to the hospital, and one didn''t want to. -To Nyisrenda. Aguayo called the domestic doctor toe and Sofia to prepare the food. They soon arrived in Nyisrenda. On the way back, Carlos did notmunicate with Mica. His expression was cold. Mica could tell he was angry, but she didn''t know what she should do. Carlos went downstairs and opened the door near Mica to help her down by hugging her. Mica hugged their necks and looked at the perfect profile. Although he was angry, he didn''t ignore her. He put her on the couch and left, but Mica grabbed her sleeve. Carlos turned around. He looked down at her. She raised her head to apologize to Carlos. -Sit down, please. Carlos wanted to take the wet towel with hot water. But he could not ignore her request, and he never ignored her. He sat down. But Mica didn''t leave the manca as if she was afraid he would run away. Carlos said nothing. Mica hugged him and put her face on his chest. -I''m sorry. It won''t happen again. I don''t let myself get hurt. Carlos frowned. He had never heard Mica speak in such a soft tone. Until then he realized she was a pretty woman. -It''s not Mr. Eric and Alba''s fault. It''s my fault. I want to win Adriana. She did it just so Carlos wouldn''t me them. Carlos was angry. -I''m thinking how to destroy Brinte. -No! Carlos! -No! Mica was afraid he would do it. Carlos grabbed her jaw. -What are you calling me? His tone softened and wasn''t cold like before. Did she just need to call him Carlos? Mica looked into his eyes. -Carlos, I''m sorry. It won''t happen again. Carlos answered her as if he was enchanted by a witch. Mica hugged him and let herself be pushed on the couch. Carlos wanted to kiss her when he saw a man standing nearby. Mica was waiting for him, but did nothing. She thought Carlos was waiting for her. He approached her to apologize. She raised her head with a red face. She began to remember the temperature and the softness of his mouth. But Carlos stood up. Carlosughed. He noticed Mica''s behavior and did not feel angry. He lifted Mica and murmured to her. -I kiss you a littlete. Chapter 200 : You Told Me I Kiss You Later! Chapter 200 : You Told Me I Kiss You Later! Chapter 200 : You told me I kiss youter! Mica noticed that the doctor hade. Apart from the doctor, the maids were also in the house, who were very fond of watching her interaction with Carlos.... She reddened, wanting to hide from everyone. Arriving in the living room, the house doctor saw Mr. Carlos lunging towards Mica on the couch. And he stopped immediately. "I must not see them. I mustn''t see them. And I haven''t seen anything..." She told herself she should leave, but she really didn''t want to leave andughed.... "They say Carlos isn''t interested in women - no way, he''s throwing himself right at this girl in the living room!" But... The doctor was startled. Just now Carlos was looking at Mica lovingly, but suddenly he gave the doctor a very hardened look as if he wanted to kill him.... -Come here you! -Carlos said coldly. The doctor stumbled to Carlos'' side. -Yes, Mr. Carlos, where do you feel sick? -Examine her if her toes are hurt! -Indicating it, Carlos moved aside a little and lifted Mica''s foot on his legs. -Yes! The doctor bent down and looked at it carefully. The toes of Mica''s foot were somewhat swollen, but it was not known if the bones were broken. Therefore, the doctor reached out his hand.... Carlos hit his hand so hard that the doctor pulled it away! -What are you doing? -Carlos asked. -I just wanted to touch the toes to see if there was a problem with the bones..." The doctor said, restraining himself from rubbing his hand. -Don''t touch it! The doctor was speechless. He couldn''t tell if the bones were okay just by looking at them.... And Mica was embarrassed by Carlos'' behavior. -Well, sir, you do it. Pinch the fingers with moderate force. And Miss Mica, feel if it hurts only the flesh or the bones -the doctor said after thinking a little. -I do it on my own! -Mica was about to remove her foot, but was stopped by Carlos. He pinched Mica''s toes in a very gentle way.... -Does it hurt? Blushing, Mica shook her head. Then, Carlos pinched her toes harder. And seeing Mica''s eyebrows furrowed a little, Carlos released them. -Does it hurt a lot? -Carlos asked worriedly. -No, just a little," Mica denied it. -Well, the bones won''t have any problems. The only problem is that the shoes are a little small and tight.... The doctorined without understanding why Carlos had to create so much trouble for a small problem. -Put this ointment on the swollen part three times a day. Exactly, you will recover after using it three times. If it still hurts after that, I could take you to the hospital for an x-ray. Normally that won''t be a problem," the doctor took some ointment out of his medicine cab and handed it to Carlos. Carlos took it and nodded hesitantly, signaling to the doctor that he could go. And the doctor took the medicine cab and left immediately. -I''m going to wash my feet first! -Mica took Carlos'' hand as Carlos opened the ointment to apply it. Carlos agreed and collected the ointment in his coat pocket. He lifted her upstairs. -Let me go, I can walk. The doctor said I''m fine.... -Are you listening to the doctor or to me? -Of course I''m listening to the doctor. What the doctor says won''t fail," she answered after thinking for a while. Carlos took her straight to the bathroom in her room and put her on a stool next to the bathtub. -So you see that the doctor has to listen to me," he said. Mica fell silent. Carlos took the shower head to adjust the water temperature. She felt a little nervous. "Do you want to wash my feet?" When Carlos took off her shoes on his knees in front of so many people, he already seemed very humble to her. "I can wash my feet on my own..." -Carlos Aguayo, let me do it..... Before Mica finished speaking, Carlos had adjusted the water temperature, bent down and rolled up her pants. -What did you just call me? Why are you changing now? Mica sighed. Before she had called him Carlos was just in a hurry and also because she was asking him for a favor. As she had be ustomed to calling him by his full name, now Mica was embarrassed to call him with affection? Carlos took the artichoke and poured warm water on her feet. After washing her feet, Carlos lifted her onto the couch. He took out a towel and sat down next to her. Mica took it off and dried her aching feet on her own. But she said nothing but only frowned slightly. Sitting next to her, Carlos saw that Mica''s feet were already dried and put them on her legs. Mica barely denied it, he had already covered her toes lightly with ointment. The cool ointment relieved the pain and she no longer felt so ufortable. -Do you think what I''m doing is too much? -While holding the ointment for her, Carlos asked quietly. -Yes, it''s just a trifle. He will recover by leaving it like this," Mica said, sure that he was no longer angry. -You know, everything about you is not a trifle. You even have to take very good care of every hair of yours," he looked at her and said seriously. Suddenly Mica remembered the dinner with Katarina. She joked that she wanted to take some meat and blood for Katarina''s study. At that time, Carlos showed his antipathy and said that he could not have such an idea of hurting himself, which she did not take seriously. But now she could tell that what Carlos had said was true. She mattered more to him than to herself. Just in the car, he wanted to drink the ice-cold mineral water in the refrigerator. But thinking that for women, it was better to drink less iced beverages, he turned to the room temperature water. Although he was angry, he paid attention to these details.... Shocked, Mica bit her lips and hugged Carlos around the neck. She found that, in fact, it seemed that the initiative was not so difficult.... N?velDrama.Org is the owner. However, Carlos dodged her with his head turned to the side! Usually, it was she who eluded him, and today it was his turn? What had happened? To Mica Carlos seemed quite unbelievable. -You said I''ll kiss youter! -Mica said. Carlos couldn''t help butugh and rubbed her head, signaling her to look towards the door. She saw the door half closed. Between the gap of a dozen centimeters, there were three people whispering: -Give me more room, I want to see too! -I have to see them in the meantime the master has not closed the door! -Silence! Silence! -Don''t be discovered by the master! He has an ear... Without having finished the words, one of the maids found that they had been discovered and hurried to stand up. -Sir, Miss Mica, lunch is ready! Let''s eat! -The maid pushed two others and said in a loud voice. Chapter 201 : Remember That You Have Me Even If The End Of The World Comes. Chapter 201 : Remember That You Have Me Even If The End Of The World Comes. Chapter 201 : Remember that you have me even if the end of the worldes. -Wait for me here," Carlos said and went out. All the maidens at the door went running downstairs instantly. Before long, Carlos returned with a pair of sandals without heels, which were not going to press against her feet. He crouched down in front of her and slipped them on.... She no longer cared about this. Now she was just thinking about what she had just said. Sitting at the table, Mica was looking very flushed. She didn''t understand why she could have said that. She no longer doubted Carlos, but that she would have been demonic, which was why she had said shameless words! Seeing that Mica only took the rice, Carlos added food to it. But she didn''t notice and continued to eat the story without raising her head.... Because of this state, he wanted to do something with her, but he couldn''t. He served her a spoonful of soup. He served her a spoonful of soup and she took it.... -Why don''t you exin to me what happened today? -Carlos asked her, seeing that Mica had almost finished her lunch. Atst Mica recovered and felt that she was very full! How much Carlos had fed her! Then it urred to Mica that she almost became like a baby before him, since she ate everything he gave.... -I''m going to look for Hector and Eric... -Carlos said lightly as he saw that Mica was going to get distracted again. -No! What he had just asked came to Mica. And she rushed to tell him everything that happened this morning when Alba arrived at Brinte. He watched her as he listened to her. She was speaking very clearly and obviously had already forgotten the embarrassing matter.... This simple little girl was so easy to divert attention..... -Even though I got a little tired from standing up, it''s all worth it. They already know I''m not so shy and they don''t dare to embarrass me in the future," Mica drew a conclusion from what had happened today. -Didn''t I tell you to call me in case something happens? -With some admiration, Carlos looked at her. Mica understood that this was the reason he had been angry. When she was leaving the house this morning, he told her to call him if anything happened, but she did not. -I can settle this matter. Besides, I won. All the models who were present told me they would get along with me... -Mica looked at him with a serious attitude. -What would happen if they apparently got along with you, but secretly harassed you? -I''ll get stronger so they won''t dare to do anything with me... -ruborized, Mica paused and said firmly- -But when it''s necessary and I can''t solve it, I still have you. You''re going to help me, aren''t you? "I still have you..." Realizing what she had said herself, Mica blushed.... "I still have you..." Hearing her words, Carlos was a little moved. Finally, she considered him as a support.... -Of course, remember that you have me even if the end of the worldes -Carolos smirked. Instantly Mica''s face turned red and it urred to him what he wanted to ask. -How did youe here for no reason? -And why was Marcos there? They both spoke almost at the same time. -I don''t know, maybe he came to look for Adriana? -After a long while, Mica answered fearfully. She remembered that Marcos had addressed herself directly when he entered, which was very clear in the mirror... With a frown, Carlos stood up without saying anything. He took Mica''s hand and looked at her foot. -The medicine the doctor gave is very effective, it hardly hurts anymore! -Mica also stood up. -Does it hurt when you walk? -Not anymore. Hanging on Mica''s hand, Carlos went to the sofa. -You still haven''t answered me why you went to Brinte," Mica asked curiously. -Alba told me," Carlos said without turning around. Alba had texted him, asking him if he coulde because Mica had encountered problems. Reading the message, Carlos went to Brinte and found her quickly through the GPS. Not only was the women''s intuition very urate, but the men''s as well. Carlos thought that Alba had also sent a message to Marcos to go to Brinte. Why did she do that? -Alba was afraid that I would lose and that I would be vexed..." Mica stood up and said smiling, "I know. She had also told Marcos. Carlos stopped and turned to her. -When Adriana saw Marcos, she reacted. Since Alba wanted me to win, she called Marcos on purpose. Just as I had imagined, Adriana dropped her books when Marcos came in. Besides, just in case I lost, she also called you. This exnation was reasonable. -Why are you so sure? -Carlos didn''t feel so nervous anymore. -Because we are best friends! I believe in her and I know her. She knows me too," Micaughed proudly. -Do you believe everything she says? -he asked. At first, she wanted to answer yes. But she held him back. -I can''t believe her in one thing. When I was Marcos'' girlfriend, she didn''t agree. She had even followed him to take pictures when Marcos went to the hotel with other girls. Back then, I believed Marcos instead of her, which is why she went abroadter. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. -And why did you believe it so much? -Carlos became a little dissatisfied. Was she totally crazy about him? -Because I''m not going to change easily once I''ve determined something. Knowing that he really loved me, I believed him unconditionally. And when I found that he was cheating on me, I would never listen to him. -So now you are determined to be with me? -Taking Mica''s hands, Carlos asked. -Of course! -she nodded her head without hesitation. Actually, he had known she was determined to be with him. But he was still very d to hear that she recognized him.... He took her in his arms and stroked her hair. -Me too," Carlos said in her ear. Very happy, Mica looked around and found that there was no maid here.... Embarrassed, she raised her head and looked at Carlos'' lips. "Now I don''t care about shame..." When the two were barely kissing, Carlos'' cell phone rang! Chapter 202 : Ernesto, WhatS Wrong With Your Face? Chapter 202 : Ernesto, What''S Wrong With Your Face? Chapter 202 : Ernesto, what''s wrong with your face? Mica felt discouraged. She thought she should read the almanac to know if today was not suitable for kissing. Carlos hugged her with a smile as he answered the call. It was Hector. -I''m not going to me for what happened this time. But I hope it doesn''t happen again," knowing what Hector meant, Carlos said before he spoke. When he finished speaking, Carlos hung up the call. Hector was relieved. Before, Carlos was the one who should no longer be offended at Tdia, but now he couldn''t be bothered to bother him either! For having published news about Carlos, Entertainment X disappeared overnight from Tdia. Just now, the same thing happened to the Atenas Group as happened to Entertainment X... On the Inte, there was no news about the sudden disappearance of the thriving Atenas group, which frightened everyone. Only an overly powerful person could get it. Originally Mica wanted to return to Brinte to look for Eric. But Carlos wouldn''t let her, saying that her feet needed rest.... She was probably the first model who had to rest because of the pretended work ident after wearing tight shoes.... So Carlos took her to thepany to trante something again.... In the evening, Carlos'' cell phone rang. He nced at it. It was Leonardo''s. Knowing why he called him, Carlos got a little worried and answered the call. -Carlos, I''ve reserved arge room at Celotierra. Let''s have dinner together. Carlos said yes and thought it would be good to rify everything face to face. After hanging up the call, something urred to Carlos. -Chiquita, call Alba and let''s have dinner together tonight -Carlos looked at Mica, who was tranting from French to Chinese. *** Celotierra was the only seven-star hotel in Tdia, it had luxurious decor and the chefs were extraordinary! Although Alba did note from a lower-ss family, it was the first time she had dined in such a luxurious hotel. Looking at the door of Celotierra, her mouth dropped open.... Probably the poor people would never be able to dine in this ce in their entire lives. When Mica invited her to dinner, Alba felt lost. She knew that simply because she was good friends with Mica, she invited her to dinner. But she still expected this dinner. While she hated herself because she shouldn''t have to wait so long.... When she took a picture of Carlos and Mica at the Mangzarent Nation fountain, she suddenly felt she was in love. At the time she didn''t take it seriously. But when she sent the photo to Mica, she doubted it. She wanted to collect it secretly... And she did. After returning to Andana Mica and Carlos, she always got distracted and thought about Carlos, so she hated herself more. Carlos was Mica''s boyfriend, and Mica was her best friend! "Am I crazy?" She doubted herself over and over again. All that wasn''t true. She couldn''t fall in love with Mica''s boyfriend and the obsession with him was only because of his looks? When Mica texted her that Carlos had a high fever when he returned to Andana, she felt nervous, worried and uneasy.... She realized that she shouldn''t fall in love with the one she shouldn''t love.... She displeased herself and also felt guilty before Mica. With the phone in her hand, seeing the messages popping up, she didn''t know how to answer her.... She was drowning in guilt. Mica sent her a message, saying that they were best friends and she had to tell her about her difort.... And Alba asked her what she could do if they were in love with the same man. When she sent the message, she immediately regretted it and started looking for excuses to distract her, since Mica was easy to lie. Except for the words Alba had told her when Mica was with Marcos, Mica believed everything she said. Based on her reaction, Alba already knew that Mica believed her that she was joking as usual. At that moment, she understood the saying on the Inte: Many people told the truth excusing themselves with gossips... When she was relieved by the justification, she also realized that for her, Mica was much more important than Carlos. She couldn''t make Mica sad! She also believed that they looked unique between Mica and Carlos and that she could not separate them. Therefore, she could forget Carlos just by getting more in touch with him as before.... When Mica told him that she woulde with him to meet her at the airport, she was excited and happy and looked forward to seeing him. But when they finally didn''te, she was disappointed and hated herself.... She used to be able to forget the men she had fallen in love with after a few days. However, Carlos was so special that until now she still remembered him deeply.... For that reason, she didn''t want to think anymore.... -Miss, how many of you are there? Do you have a reservation? -The hotel manager woke her up and asked politely. -I am a guest of Mr. Carlos. -Okay, follow me, please," when the manager listened to her, he showed more respect. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. *** Except for Tomas, everyone was already present in the room. They were the same guests as before. Leonardo was worried about something. And Ernesto did not seem as animated as before. As Carlos usually didn''t talk much, the atmosphere was a little tense. -Mica, have you noticed that Ernesto looks a little strange? -Sitting between Leonardo and Mica, Olivia moved Mica''s arm gently and said softly. Mica was texting Alba to ask where he was. Hearing her, she looked around. Indeed, Ernesto was not only silent, but he also kept his head tilted to the right, as if he was hiding something.... Mica did not see it well. Suddenly Ernesto turned his head a little, they both saw everything clearly. There was a swollen palm print on Ernesto''s face! They both looked at each other in surprise. When they wanted to say something, Carlos, who was sitting next to Ernesto, spoke. -Ernesto, what''s wrong with your face? Ernesto was astonished and told the truth since he had discovered it. -Yesterday I met a tomboy at the airport. He was very strong! She just kissed him, and pped me! - Ernesto didn''t want to hide it anymore and got angry. Olivia and Leonardo started tough. But Mica was stunned and remembered that this morning Alba had told her that she had seen him at the airportst night.... Thinking, her cell phone rang and she saw that Alba answered that she would be right there. Then, the door was opened from outside... Chapter 203 : Can You Leave Them Alone? Chapter 203 : Can You Leave Them Alone? Chapter 203 : Can you leave them alone? Before when he saw pretty girls like Alba, Ernesto would snap his fingers and whistle at them. But today his reaction was more acrimonious than before. He stood up straight! And Alba saw it. They both shouted at the same time. -Marimacho! Everyone was stunned! Then Ernesto and Alba began to argue. -What are you saying? I''m very young and pretty! Blind! -Yes, I''m blind, that''s why yesterday I thought you were a pretty girl and kissed you. It turns out you''re a tomboy! -What irony! You abused me and you''re still right? -How do you feel about Andana''sw? -What''s the point of youing back from the Mangzarent nation? That was just a courtesy kiss. Even if I didn''t do it right, you shouldn''t treat me like that. Look, your palm print is still on my face! -Thank you! This is too little for you! -I regret that my brother didn''t hit you! ... Arguing, the two of them even came face to face! -Since you''ve insulted me so much, today I''m going to show you! -saying, Ernesto hugged Alba.... Were they going to fight? Including Carlos, everyone was puzzled and quickly got up to stop them. Suddenly, however, he stopped! Hugging Alba, Ernesto was there to kiss her! Ernesto was still like this.... Bang! A p was heard on Ernesto''s face! Now he already had bisimetric prints on both parts of his face.... Everyone was very surprised! Leonardo and Olivia thought Alba was really strong! Mica rushed to get Alba away from Ernesto. But she still wanted to give Ernesto a potato - thank goodness he eluded her! -Do you still want to take advantage of me in public? -Ernesto, what are you doing? You weren''t like that before. Can''t you change another way of flirting with girls? -Leonardo also intervened and reproached him. Misunderstood, Ernesto did not know what to do. His body could have been on its knees if a mosquito had bitten him. Now with two palm prints on his face, how would he face people? That damned tomboy... -Well, Mr. Carlos, could we serve them the food now? -The manager spoke after looking at them for a long time. -Yes," Carlos rubbed his brow and said. The manager left in a hurry. Mica sat down Alba, who showed contempt to Ernesto. Adjusting herself, she saw him sit next to her and was furious again.... She didn''t want to sit with him! However, at a nce, the seat next to Carlos was for Mica. It seemed that the number of seats was already fixed, that''s why, there were only few chairs along the table. Since the table was big enough and far enough away from him, she put up with it. -Bah, who wants to sit with the tomboy? He loses my appetite! -Ernesto said arrogantly. Disgruntled, Alba stared at him and saw the swollen footprints on both sides of his face, for which she Looking at herughter, Ernesto went nk.... Leonardo and Olivia couldn''t contain theirughter either. It was hard to find that Master Ernesto would stay like that! Mica sat back in her seat and saw that Carlos alsoughed lightly. -Laugh! You don''t help me and youugh at me? Offended in dignity, Ernesto wanted to touch her cheeks, but he didn''t dare. -You''re looking for this! -Alba said in anger. He had snatched her first kiss, how could he not be angry? -Already, I introduce her to you. This is my good friend, Alba. Alba, his name is Ernesto. You have a destiny knowing each other this way..." -so that they wouldn''t argue any more, Mica stood up and said. -Who has destiny with him? -How bad destiny is! They both spoke at the same time again! Everyone began tough. How tacit they were... The waiter came in with the food cart, while the manager served them the food. All the dishes were very exquisite and smelled very good. It deserved the 7-star level! -So, you didn''t know each other before? And you kissed when you saw each other for the first time N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. yesterday? -Olivia asked curiously: What an encounter... Olivia wanted to pry further... Fearing that the two would fight again, Mica changed the subject and asked Olivia about other things. Finally, dinner was barely over and the atmosphere was still harmonious. Ernesto watched Alba secretly and found that she always looked in Carlos and Mica''s direction.... Well, even though they were just eating, they could be a beautifulndscape, what he had witnessed. Ernesto was envious of these two couples.... But Leonardo didn''t have much appetite. -Carlos, could you leave my uncle''s family alone? -Seeing that Carlos and Mica had almost finished their dinner, Leonardo said hesitantly. Did he finally say the reason why he had invited everyone to dinner? Thinking of something, Carlos looked at him. -It''s true that he and Amelia are nothing like you. But he''s my uncle anyway. My mother and my aunt cry at home every day for you to leave them alone. Carlos, since we have known each other for so many years, can you leave them alone? -Leonardo continued. -How? -Ernesto asked confused. He knew that Amelia was still messing with Carlos. Was she bothering Leonardo''s mother so that she and Carlos could be together? And what did it mean to leave them alone? He had been in the Mangzarent nation for a long time and returnedst night. What had happened these days? Mica and Alba also looked at Carlos without understanding anything. What did Leonardo mean by what he said? What happened to Amelia''s family? -Only your aunt begs you? Have you told that woman that we dined here tonight? Is she at the door or in the opposite room? -Carlos looked at Leonardo and said in a stern tone. What? The woman you indicated was Amelia? Ernesto looked at Leonardo. Leonardo knew how much he hated that woman Carlos. And he still let here? What did he want to do? Chapter 204 : He Let Her Come In And Know Clearly Why She Made Him Pay With His Life. Chapter 204 : He Let Her Come In And Know Clearly Why She Made Him Pay With His Life. Chapter 204 : He let here in and know clearly why she made him pay with his life. What Carlos said next made Ernesto startle! -You''re the one who reported to her thest time we came here for dinner, so she showed up, didn''t she? It was a question, but Carlos'' tone was very affirmative. Ernesto frowned and thought about it for a while. Thest time you ate here, was it when Mica was taken and almost raped by Mr. Gallo? Ernesto was stunned. Wasn''t what Mica suffered before an ident? Olivia also looked at her boyfriend with surprise? Leonardo''s heart skipped a beat. Obviously he also considered this assumption, but that day he asked Amelia if she was the one who dictated to Mr. Gallo, and she categorically denied it! Had Amelia deceived him? -No, Carlos, thest time? Carlos reached out and held Mica''s hand under the table, as if transmitting strength to her. -Thest time we ate here, it was Amelia who instigated Roberto to try to rape Mica! Leonardo sat down on the back of the chair.... It was no wonder that this time Carlos took his revenge impetuously. Seeing how furious Carlos was when he learned what had happened to Mica, you could tell how much he cared about her. Unexpectedly he dared to set a trap for Mica. Amelia, you''ve been digging your own grave! Mica was also surprised. She always thought it was an ident, did Amelia really do this? At the time, she didn''t know Amelia at all, she hadn''t even seen her! Why did Amelia set traps against her like this? Because she and Carlos ate here together? She had no right to do that! Carlos squeezed her trembling little hand and said suddenly: -Let her in! -What? -Leonardo said in disbelief: -Let her in and know clearly why I am making her pay with her life - Carlos'' tone had no warmth in it. Leonardo stood up and opened the door to the private room. Amelia and Damian were standing at the door. When they saw the door open and Leonardo asked them to enter, they were surprised, but also eager, so they entered immediately. The moment she saw Amelia, Mica felt astonished. In less than two days, she became someone else. She was not the one who was bright and beautiful on stage that day. At this moment, her eyes were puffy, her face was haggard, and she looked very unwell? What had happened to her, why had she changed so much in such a short time? Amelia stared at Mica, who stood up, wanting to kill her with her eyes. She had been in hell for the past few days, but during this period this slut was under Mr. Aguayo''s meticulous care! She was mad with envy! Her father''s situation was nothing better than her, with a bristly beard and bloodshot eyes. As soon as he entered, the man pleaded with Carlos, shouting: -Mr. Aguayo, why are you doing this? I understand you don''t like Amelia. And she will not bother you in the future. However, why are you abandoning help to the Atenas family. Without your support, all those merchants are not willing to cooperate with me.... Both Leonardo and Ernesto sighed. Damian always infuriated others. He had no credit and was good at making rascalities. With Carlos'' support, he took no one seriously. Without the support of the Aguayo family, he would not have the opportunity to be a wealthy person. It seems that Carlos said he supported him more, and those partners immediately ended their cooperation with him? -You remembered that I am the person who gives you the glory you are enjoying," Carlos said coldly. -I... -Damian was embarrassed and said nothing. -Uncle, do you know what you did wrong? -Leonardo asked with a sigh. Damian''s face turned even redder and after a while he said: -I, shouldn''t be arrogant, and I shouldn''t offend the cooperators by not keeping my word..... Carlos nced at them, including Amelia. Seeing that Carlos looked at her, she immediately gazed at Carlos with passionate love, but Carlos'' eyes turned away from her in an instant and he said coldly: -Anything else? Damian wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered even more: -I, I shouldn''t have threatened the partners for profit on behalf of your father-inw..... Everyone else present was stunned - how could that man be so brazen? Alba couldn''t help but look Amelia up and down. The woman like that was nobody. How would she have the chance to marry Carlos? Amelia was mad with rage just watching Carlos and Mica hold hands. -Mr. Aguayo! Forgive me. I won''t dare do it anymore! You already punished me. If the business cooperation was suspended, my capital chain would also be broken. I can''t pay sries, while I need to pay bank loans. In other words, I am no different from an insolvent. Without your protection, I am like a mouse crossing the street. Please forgive me. I will never do this again. Besides, Amelia will never bother you again! Damien said firmly, and almost swore to heaven! Amelia became very angry. Looking at the beautiful face she had admired for a long time, she said: -Carlos! Carlos looked at him with sharp, cold eyes..... -Don''t call him that! -Mica told him without thinking. She didn''t object to anyone calling him that, but this woman couldn''t! She was so vicious that she wanted to hurt herself before she knew herself. How frightening! Carlos looked at Mica with affection. He was very pleased with Mica''s reaction. Seeing this scene, Amelia became even angrier and lost her head, screaming and saying with tears: -No! Carlos, I love you. I love you so much. Why can''t you pay attention to me? Why did you do that to our family, and even no one can help us? Our family broke in two days! Yet there wasn''t even any news of this on the inte. You''re helping this bitch Mica everywhere, and you even helped her get the modeling job that I did everything I could to get. Why, why, why, I''m the most particr person to you! Amelia''s heart contracted violently, and Carlos finally looked directly at her, but his eyes were terribly cold.... N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. -Be careful with your words. Do not challenge my patience. For me, the most particr person must be by my side. Please stop talking the nonsense! Seeing his daughter''s disconste expression, Damian said pityingly: -Mr. Aguayo, it is our fault that we are always unsatisfied. We always tempt fate. Could you take back your punishment and put everything in its ce? His family had grown ustomed to the luxurious life of the rich, and could no longer live in poverty. Carlosughed coldly and looked at Damian: -Why do you think that after your precious daughter has done so much harm to the person I hold most dear, I can continue to support you? Damian looked confused: -Mr. Aguayo, Amelia loves you and always wants to get your attention. It is true that she used despicable means trying to be thest model to walk the runway at the fashion show. But after all, Amelia didn''t seed, didn''t make any profit, and didn''t offend.... -Damian looked at Mica and continued-, the person you cherish the most. Chapter 205 : It Was Amelia Who Saved Your Life! Chapter 205 : It Was Amelia Who Saved Your Life! Chapter 205 : It was Amelia who saved your life! -Right? -Carlos looked at Amelia and asked coldly. Amelia wiped away her tears. She felt secretly afraid. She thought it was a very deliberate n, and that person who executed this n was no longer in Tdia, so Carlos shouldn''t know she was the main instigator. Amelia nodded feigning calmness and said: -If you want to talk about harm, it''s Mica.... That shameless woman held her tongue at once when she saw Carlos'' sharp look like a sword. -She stole my important position in the fashion show and the opportunity to be the spokesperson for the new products of Grupo Aguayo! When Mica was about to speak, but Carlos took the remote control to the side and turned on the TV. Everyone looked at him confused... What was shown on the TV was the surveince video, recorded on the day Mica was kidnapped here! The video showed the image of the hotel lobby. Amelia was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, looking at the ss front door frequently. After a while, Carlos walked in with Mica. Amelia was abruptly flustered, sat back down on the couch, but stared out of the corner of her eye at them until they entered the elevator with the manager.... Amelia''s heartbeat suddenly quickened. No, she did it so carefully, that''s why she couldn''t have found out.... -Miss Athens, you are very thoughtful. When you left the private room, you went to bribe the security guard in the monitoring room. When my subordinate came to review the surveince video, he got a video of what was cut off the part we just saw. Carlos pressed the button on the remote control again and changed the image ... Mica covered her mouth in surprise. On the screen were Amelia and Mr. Gallo who wanted to rape her twice! -Torture that bitch! Here''s 200 thousand euros. The more you torture her, the more generous the payment will be! -Amelia''s voice rang out: At that time, Mr. Gallo was already at a dead end. 200 thousand euros were a great temptation, so he epted the deal in a jiffy. -In case this matteres to light, don''t expose me. If you do it sessfully, I will pay you another 500 thousand euros. So this business was worth 700 thousand euros. With this payment That''s a seven million yuan business. With this amount of money, even though I would not recover the lost position, I would not be destitute. Mr. Gallo gritted his teeth and agreed. Amelia felt dizzy and her brain was in chaos..... Mica trembled with anger, why was this woman so evil? Good thing Carlos had found her in a timely manner that day, otherwise she.... Mica didn''t dare to imagine it.... -Yet why was Amelia sure that Mica would leave the room alone that day? -Olivia became doubtful. In the video, Mr. Gallo immediately asked Olivia this question: -What if she doesn''t go out alone? -I have my idea! -Amelia smiled. Mica was confused. The doctor made that call. The doctor couldn''t help Amelia to hurt her.... Carlos took her hand and exined: -She pretended to be Adriana calling the doctor. After hearing what Amelia said, the doctor called her right away. He found out about this after he asked Diego to find out and report back to the doctor. That night, the doctor received a call with an unknown number, but she said it was Adriana. The doctor rarely spoke to Adriana on the phone, so she did not notice that the voice of the person she spoke to was different. Mica suddenly understood. The video was still ying and fast forwarding. Alba quickly saw everything that happened next. Mica was dragged into the bathroom, then Carlos kicked the door in, and Mica came out covered with Carlos'' coat.... You could imagine what happened in the bathroom.... It turned out that Mica had experienced something so terrible! She had suffered this kind of violence before! Amelia was a bastard! Alba stepped forward in fury, grabbed Amelia''s hair and pped her! Seeing this, Ernesto also felt pain in his cheek. It seemed that he didn''t use as much force when Alba pped him.... -How could you dare to hurt Mica, how wicked you are! Amelia stared at Alba angrily, who was this person who dared to hit her? Just as Amelia was about to hit back, Mica and Olivia pulled Alba away from Amelia, while Leonardo pulled Amelia back hurriedly. Damian was stunned as he watched the video. He really didn''t know his daughter could do such a thing.... But he still felt affection for his daughter, so he continued to intercede for her: -Mr. Aguayo, Amelia did this just on an impulse, besides, she loves you so much..... -I can''t stand your daughter''s love. He never stopped investigating this matter. Although Amelia had no suspicious traces in the video, Carlos still didn''t give up. If it wasn''t an ident, but done by someone, he or she should hurt Mica again. He couldn''t let this happen again! Mica could not get into danger again! So she pretended to free Roberto, expelling him from Tdia simply. Secretly, she had been paying attention to Roberto. Amelia was very deliberate. She did not pay Roberto the rest of the payment right away, but paid him from another ount a few dayster. Only at that moment did she realize that this woman was the mastermind of this affair for real! Therefore, he ruthlessly withdrew all support for the Atenas family. Without her support, the Athens family partners could not wait to end their cooperation with this rogue Damian..... Also Carlos blocked the news, and the media could not report it at all! All the media knew how Mr. Aguayo was, so none of them dared to report this incident. It happened again the downfall of a rich family in Tdia quietly.... -Why are you so selfish? To achieve your goal, you don''t hesitate to hurt Mica. -Mica never offended you. Even at that time the fashion show didn''t open yet. What is your heart made of? Both Alba and Olivia were indignant and used Amelia. Even Leonardo couldn''t help but look at Amelia with disappointment and said: -Amelia, I didn''t expect you to be such a person. Leonardo looked at Damian and said: Owned by N?velDrama.Org. -Uncle, I would like to help you, but you are too excessive. There was no regret in Amelia''s eyes, but hatred! That day, Amelia was standing in the lobby of the restaurant, emotionally imagining that she might run into Carlos. However, she saw Carlos enter the restaurant holding Mica''s hand, with a loving look! Why, why did Mica caught Carlos'' attention! She hated that Mr. Gallo was so useless that he didn''t execute his n sessfully! He hated Mica''s sudden appearance, which attracted Carlos''s sight! Damian''s legs couldn''t help but tremble. Would the Atenas family be ruined from now on? Ernesto looked at Alba withplication? Unexpectedly, this woman with a manly character who liked to use violence, but was loyal to her friends. He finished pping Amelia angrily, and reproached Amelia loudly, which made him remember forcibly kissing her the night before. It wouldn''t have been his style of behavior if she hadn''t pped him. Damian didn''t have time to think about that. He knew that Mr. Aguayo didn''t like him bringing that up, but at this point, he had no choice! He had had enough of what he experienced during these days! Thinking about this, he looked at Carlos, he encouraged himself to say to Carlos in a loud voice: -Mr. Aguayo, don''t forget, it was Amelia who saved your life! How can you take revenge on your benefactor? Chapter 206 : If They HadnT Sinned, They WouldnT Have Been Punished! Chapter 206 : If They Hadn''T Sinned, They Wouldn''T Have Been Punished! Chapter 206 : If they hadn''t sinned, they wouldn''t have been punished! Everyone present looked at Damien dumbfounded, with the exception of Carlos. Ernesto and Leonardo who had heard about this secretly sighed, this father and daughter were finished! Mica, Olivia and Alba looked surprised and curious, did Amelia save Carlos'' life? When Damian said this, he was also very uneasy in his heart, but he still decided to risk everything for everything! Damian thought through gritting his teeth that, if he could not let Mr. Aguayo annul his punishment, it would be better to also sow discord in the rtionship between Carlos and this Mica! Without her, Amelia could marry Mr. Aguayo without a doubt, and he would be Mr. Aguayo''s father-in- The father and daughter were always thinking the same thing, Amelia was thinking about this right now too! Amelia looked at Mica, and smiled proudly: -I am Carlos'' first wife! Two years ago, I saved Carlos who had a fever by taking advantage of my body! He never pays attention to women, but he made love to me! I''m the most special woman for him! The other three girls were stunned with disbelief! Mica only felt her heartbeat suddenly elerate and she couldn''t breathe. Carlos stood up, walked over to Mica with aplex look on his face and hugged her. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Mica was left chaotic, and many images shed quickly through her mind, thinking about what Damian said at Mr. Campos'' cocktail party. He said that Carlos and Amelia were destined to be together; When they were in Mangzarent Nation, Carlos said it wasn''t the first time he made love; He remembered Diego talking about Carlos'' high fever caused by allergy to perfume, but he hesitated and kept quiet.... Carlos'' low voice rang in Mica''s ears, with a powerful magic, gradually calming her down: -Mica, you said you believed in me, do you remember? Mica nodded her head in his arms. Of course she remembered the first time she met Bianca, at the door of Nubcancion. Carlos lifted the corners of his mouth, caressed Mica''s head and said: -Take it easy... The father and daughter of the Atenas family were astonished. Why did Carlos have such a reaction? In this situation, they could still show others how much they loved each other. Ernesto felt hurt as a bachelor! Carlos hugged Mica, turned around, looked at Amelia and said coldly: -When I found out that the person who saved me is you, I was disgusted! If I had killed you without anyone knowing about it at the time, do you think you would still have the chance to ckmail me here? The father and daughter shuddered.... She was disgusted - was she that despicable in her heart? Amelia felt like the world was spinning.... Mica looked at Carlos confused, trying to understand the meaning of what Carlos said.... Did he figure out that it was Amelia? At that moment, Carlos didn''t know that the woman who helped him was Amelia? Ernesto said bluntly: -It''s very easy for Carlos to kill you, and even if he kills your whole family, no one will say a word about this.... No, Mr. Gallo. Considering your behavior in ordinary times, people will most likely celebrate your death by lighting fireworks. Alba and Olivia wanted tough, but felt they shouldn''t under this atmosphere, so they stopped And Mica felt rxed about Ernesto''s joke.... Did she have a high fever two years before, also because of the perfume? At that time, Mica did not know Carlos. Although she felt ufortable about this, she knew she could not be angry. Amelia also said that she saved Carlos, so she should not be offended by what Amelia said. If she hadn''t saved Carlos, he would have died? Mica put this thought out of her mind. Although at this moment she was in Carlos'' arms, but because of that terrifying word, death, she was still afraid of this. Thinking about this, Mica hugged Carlos'' waist with her hands.... -But Carlos didn''t do it. He didn''t kill you, but he supported your family in business, letting you be a rich family. If you hadn''t caused trouble, you would have kept your position in Tdia all your lives, enjoying a luxurious life. Still, do you think Carlos returns evil for good? -Ernesto asked Amelia and her father, who were speechless? -No, I think they ruin themselves by greed. If they had not sinned, they would not have been punished," Alba answered. Ernesto looked at Alba - they thought the same thing! But he received a scornful look. That was the truth. Mica understood everything. She looked at Carlos and asked: -You support Grupo Atenas just to thank Amelia''s sacrifice, right? Carlos also looked at Mica and nodded. He didn''t want to say more about what happened that night. -Uncle, Amelia. You guys are so greedy. You still think Amelia can marry Mr. Aguayo, and even she hurt Mica? -Leonardo said with pity. And before Ernesto wanted to help them and let Carlos forgive him? But at this moment, he regretted it. Such a person didn''t deserve his help! -No! -Amelia shouted. -I don''t want your thanks like this. Carlos, I love you. What I want is for you to marry me and I look forward to bing the one and only woman by your side. Mica shook her head, persuading him with good intentions: -But Carlos doesn''t love you, Amelia. It will be against his feelings if he marries you, and you won''t feel happy either? -Liar! Without you, Carlos will fall in love with me. You''re just an orphan adopted by the Elvira family. In what way can youpare yourself to me? -You''re delirious! Carlos interrupted Amelia''s shout. -You disgust me! I let you go into the room because you have to ask Mica for forgiveness before you get away from Tdia! Her gaze was cold, terrible, and irresistible. He asked for forgiveness and took Tdia''s hand... Amelia and her father were stupefied... Ernesto approached them, looked at their pale faces and said in a stern voice: -No one can threaten Carlos. Don''t try to teach your teacher. It is very merciful this punishment. ept it before your situation is no worse! Damian finally realized that everything was irreversible. He was so crazy that he wanted to control this powerful.... He felt weak and knelt down, and even forced Amelia to kneel down: -Mr. Aguayo, It''s our fault. We were insatiable. Amelia almost made a big mistake, but, after all, she didn''t seed? -If she had seeded, would she have lived now? -Alba gritted her teeth and asked. Damian paused and said: -Yes, it''s all my fault. I gave my daughter a bad upbringing.... It''s my fault... I''m sorry... We will leave Tdia and nevere back! Damian burst into tears and looked a little sorry. Mica could not help but feel sympathetic. Damian took full responsibility for his daughter, which made Mica feel sorry for him..... Mica had no impression of her father, except a blurred silhouette.... -Dad, what are you saying? -Amelia looked at her father in disbelief: Damian pped him and said: -It''s your fault. If you hadn''t hurt the person Mr. Aguayo cares most about, he wouldn''t have treated us so cruelly! Amelia was beaten by her father, who had always been obedient to her. He pped her... -Mr. Aguayo, we''ll leave and disappear at once... -After saying that, Damian left dragging Amelia... Chapter 207 : Carlos Memories Chapter 207 : Carlos'' Memories Chapter 207 : Carlos'' Memories The room was silent. Carlos wanted to confess about what happened that night with Amelia to Mica, but he didn''t know how to exin it. Even though he didn''t know her at the time, Carlos still felt guilty about Mica, so he wanted Mica to know the truth through what happened today. That morning at Mangzarent Nation, Mica told him that it might not be the first time for her to have sex and cried sadly. Carlos understood that she was sad because she wanted to give him her body and mindpletely. And so did he. Carlos took out his cell phone and called Diego. Quickly Diego answered the call: -Sir. -Send them to follow Amelia and her father. And he hung up the phone after talking for a while. Leonardo asked him doubtfully: -Are you worried about them reappearing in Tdia? Without your support, they would not be able to regain their lost position. He knew very well that his uncle had no skills. What gave Leonardo a headache was how to exin to his mother and aunt when he returned home? Carlos said with certainty: -A rogue will not give up easily. I have to confirm if Damian really regrets it. Leonardo could not, and would not, beg for his uncle again, so he apologized sincerely: -Carlos, I''m sorry for what happenedst time and this time. Each time it was me who told Amelia that we ate here.... -Mica, I''m sorry! -Leonardo looked at Mica and sincerely apologized. -It''s all right. What happenedst time is in the past. I''m fine. This time... -Mica shook her head. -Carlos let Amelia in because he knew Amelia definitely talked about it. Since he''s tacitly agreed, Carlos wants me to know.... -Mica looked at Carlos and said. Carlos raised his eyebrows. Mica was very smart. How she behaved made him surprised and pleased. There was no need to exin why he felt d, since she had already known his intention. And he felt surprised because she showed a calm attitude. Carlos stroked Mica''s head and immediately decided: -Let''s all go. We''ll get together next time. Ernesto could not help shouting: -No way! We''re just waiting for you to tell us in detail what happened between you and Amelia. Do you want to tell Mica just without giving us an exnation? Carlos agreed. I just wanted to talk to Mica alone. -Right," Carlos'' answer was always clear and orderly, which was his usual style. Ernesto gave up despondently - Carlos didn''t like to share gossip! If it were anyone else, he would bring up the details guing him incessantly. but he was Carlos! Carlos, who always matched words with actions! Olivia was a little curious and felt as curious as if a cat were wing at her heart. Why could Mica keep quiet when she learned of Mr. Aguayo''s love story? Although it wasn''t exactly a love story. Alba also feltplicated. As she was immersing herself in her thoughts, Alba heard what Carlos said. -Miss Alba, Mica is going to Brinte tomorrow. As her assistant, you can go to the Fann neighborhood together in the evening. Hearing this made Alba''s heart skip a beat. She knew her purpose... She said in a rxed tone: -Okay. I''ll go back home and pick up the change of clothes. They all left the private room and said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant. -Be careful," Mica looked at Alba and said. -Don''t worry," Alba waved and greeted her. -Calm down Mica. This girl with a manly character is so forceful that nothing could happen. Ernesto, who was walking behind, joked without being afraid of irritating Alba. And Alba immediately looked at him angrily. -Who are you talking about? Who is the girl with the manly character? -It will be the girl who has the strongest reaction! Were they going to argue at the door of the restaurant? Mica ran out of remedies. She wanted to pull Alba back, but Carlos took her to the car sitting in the passenger seat. After amodating Mica, Carlos got into the car, started it, and drove off. Mica looked back with concern, while Alba and Ernesto were still arguing. -Don''t worry. Your best friend is never at a disadvantage," Carlos said calmly. Thinking about the two ps on Ernesto''s face, Mica couldn''t help butugh. Carlos was right. It wouldn''t be bad if Ernesto didn''t lose too much.... -You want to ask me a lot of questions, don''t you? Hearing what Carlos said, Mica''s smile faded. She looked at him and first asked him the most curious question: -You... When you sleep with her, didn''t you know she was Amelia at that moment? -I don''t know," Carlos nodded. Well. The answer was very concise, with no redundant information at all. -Do you have perfume fever? -Mica continued asking without remedies. -Yes, but notpletely. I suspect I was drugged that day, but I went to examine him the next day and he found no problem. -What? -Mica was surprised. -Could it be that medicine? -It''s the same medicine you were drugged with the first time I met you," Carlos exined with a mischievous smile. Mica''s face was red. This man did not exin the key in detail at all, but said that thing in rity.... But she also felt more relieved. Without his exnation, Mica also knew his attitude towards Amelia. Carlos had no feeling for Amelia. Besides, ording to her observation, Carlos was a person who preserved his purity, and even a purity fanatic, so he couldn''t entertain himself on Amelia''s ount.... -We''ll talk when we get home," Carlos finally stopped joking with Mica. Carlos concentrated on driving, and he needed to think well how to exin it to her. He recalled that event in his mind: Two years earlier, the Aguayo group got a big annual order and held a celebration party at the restaurant. Carlos finished his speech and spoke to others in the banquet hall. During this period, he naturally had a little to drink and felt sick with the strong smell of perfume around him, so he turned the social Owned by N?velDrama.Org. activities over to Tomas. He took the room card handed to him by Diego and wanted to take a break. At that moment, he became dizzy and his footsteps were weak. He knew he should have a fever... Sometimes this allergic reaction was not obvious, but sometimes he felt as bad as if he were poisoned.... Diego also discovered how abnormal Carlos'' behavior was and asked the doctor toe immediately. Carlos agreed. He fell asleep quickly, he didn''t even know when the doctor arrived, and the febrifuge injection didn''t work at all. By this time he was already unconscious from the fever..... He didn''t know how long he slept, but in the dark night, the wave of heat in his body woke Carlos up and the room waspletely dark. What happened? How did it cause this fever? Feeling the changes in his body, Carlos was shocked. He was already twenty years old, even though he was in an unconscious state, he knew what the burning heat in his body meant? Carlos tried to analyze with his cloudy brain. Did he feel so bad because he was so drunk? Or would the allergic reaction to the perfume be so drastic? He felt as ufortable as if he were on fire. His mouth was dry and his blood was boiling. He wanted to turn on the light and go take a shower. He pressed the switch at the head of the bed several times angrily, but the light didn''te on as he expected? Did the power go out? -Fuck it! Carlos fumbled for his cell phone, and suddenly a warm, soft body appeared behind him.... -Who are you? Go away! -Carlos was shocked. Chapter 208 : You Jumped Into My Heart Chapter 208 : You Jumped Into My Heart Chapter 208 : You Jumped Into My Heart Carlos'' voice was hoarse and restrained. His brainmanded himself to stay away from this body. There was another person in this bed-it should be a woman! The fever made him be unconscious, he didn''t even know if this woman was here a long time ago or just came in! A soft body approached Carlos directly, and delicate, small hands caressed the man. Carlos pushed her away and wanted to get up, but the woman hugged the man''s waist back with her arms, caressing him. She blew a warm breath into Carlos'' neck, igniting the clusters of sparks. Her touch made the man go wild..... Only a moment''s hesitation, Carlos was pulled down, and then the woman kissed him. Unexpectedly Carlos didn''t gag as he felt her breath! Carlos grabbed the back of the woman''s head with hisrge hand, turned around and dominated this sexual affair ... *** The next day, Carlos was awakened by intrusive reporters with cameras! Unconsciously he covered the woman next to him withforter. The moment he saw her face, Carlos frowned hard! Although he did not see this woman''s face the night before, he vaguely felt that it was not her.... Amelia who was lying on the bed, looked at Carlos, who was handsome and extraordinary, with noble temperament. His face was flushed and his heart was beating fast. When she entered the room the night before, the light was not on, and she felt shy. When Amelia approached, she was left lying on the bed by man in the dark.... At the banquet the night before, just looking at this god-like beautiful man from a distance, Amelia''s heartbeat quickened. Knowing that she could make love to Carlos in order to bring down his fever, she was overjoyed as if she won the jackpot! The reporters looked at the two of them dumbfounded. who were they? They had nothing to do with what the news provider said, but it was better than nothing. But it was better than nothing. this man was much more interesting than that middle-aged male! -Get out of here! Carlos shouted in a low voice, making the reporters who were about to speak tremble. How terrible this man was! Diego and Carlos entered with the doctor and immediately chased the reporters away, but he did not notice that one of the reporters carrying the camera took a picture without anyone knowing before leaving with others.... While Tomas and Diego were talking, the doctor went ahead to measure his temperature and sighed in relief: -Sir, your fever is down. You have recovered. Carlos said nothing and looked at Amelia with a sharp look. Although the woman was wrapped in Amelia grabbed theforter, her heart pounding, She should get this man! *** No more memories. After parking the car, Carlos took Mica''s hand and entered the elevator. There were no other residents in the elevator, and soon they arrived at the door of their home. Mica entered the password, opened the door. As she was about to turn on the light, she was pulled back by Carlos, and leaned against the wall, then Carlos'' lips leaned in, but stopped a few inches from hers, and the man''s seductive voice rang out: -Didn''t you want to kiss me? No one bothers you now... In the darkness, only the moonlight shone from the window. Mica looked at his profile. It seemed that his deep eyes held magic, which fascinated her. Though his words made Mica''s face blush. However, she didn''t pull back, she lifted her head and kissed him, boldly licking her thin lips for the first time.... Carlos snorted, regained his dominance and deepened the kiss.... Mica responded to him in a nd but enthusiastic way, which made the man kiss her more domineeringly.... Mica didn''t care? She cared! A lot! At the thought of Carlos kissing another woman as he kissed her, she went crazy with jealousy! But they didn''t know each other at the time, so she forced herself to ignore that, and had to melt sadness and jealousy in this burning kiss.... After a long time, Carlos released her, hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: -Mica, I wish that the woman of that night was you. Mica hugged Carlos back. She thought the same. But everyone knew that was impossible. Carlos lowered his head, put it on Mica''s shoulder and told Mica everything.... -Diego told me that the fever I had was so high that it could not be controlled by the medicine, and even the sexual need was fulfilled. The doctor said this was the best way to lower the fever, so Diego and Tomas sent a woman to my room. She was Leonardo''s cousin. I was unconscious at the time because of the fever, when I woke up, she had already been in my room. The light was cut off, I didn''t see her face at all until the next morning. At that time, she invited Leonardo to the banquet and Leonardo brought Amelia as apanion. Carlos paused. He didn''t want to say what happened next. He could not say. Although he did not remember the process, because of the fever or because of the drugs that could not be verified, he became unconscious at that time, but what he remembered clearly that he enjoyed sex at that time, and even decided to keep that woman by his side. But that morning, when he saw that woman''s face, he felt disappointed. Amelia was not ugly, but he did not feel that he wanted to be with her at all, and even Carlos was disgusted ... If he had been more aware at the time, he would not have convinced himself to touch her when he saw her face ... Surveince could not be found. If she had not been sent to him by Tomas and Diego, Caros would not have believed at all that the woman that night was Amelia! He tried once to allow Amelia to approach him, but three steps away, he couldn''t stand it any longer! He had not looked at her since. -The next day, I had them thoroughly check the hotel''s surveince video. However, the surveince on All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. that floor had not worked a few days earlier. Only discovered the malfunction in the emergency repair after the power went out, it was repaired until it was close to dawn.... -The first reporter who broke in took a picture of us and published it. It was the Entertainment X reporter. The story was pulled within two hours of publication, and then Entertainment X disappeared on Tdia. -I went for a blood test and there were no abnormal results. The doctor said that my reaction at the time could be attributed to the fact that I was allergic to perfume and drank alcohol.... Mica did not dare to breathe when she heard him. After organizing her thoughts, she asked him: -So, did Amelia say she saved your life? -Yes, I started to support the Athens Group since then. I know her intentions very well, but I hate her. I can''t give her anything except material support for her family. Tomas and Diego were anxious at the time. How could she have such a high fever? The doctor said that, fortunately, there was a way to solve it, that is, he sent him a woman. If Carlos did not have the sexual urge and could not release the energy, he would probably die of fever? As a result, he seeded. Mica felt a littleplicated. Carlos turned on the light, but it was so sudden that Mica felt a little ufortable. Carlos looked at her seriously: -Mica, will you despise me? Mica saw the worry and anxiety in his eyes, and this made Mica feel sorry for him. -Of course not," she shook her head. Carlos hugged her tightly and caressed her long hair with one hand. After confessing everything in his heart, he felt relieved for a moment. -There is never anyone else left in my heart but you. I''m always waiting for you, do you remember, the first time I met you, the time you jumped into my arms? Feeling the rxation in her tone, Mica also became relieved and replied: -Of course I remember. Carlos'' voice rang in her ears, like the most beautiful movement in the world: -At that moment, you did not rush into my arms, but into my heart. Chapter 209 : This Image Was So Beautiful. Chapter 209 : This Image Was So Beautiful. Chapter 209 : This image was so beautiful. Mica was very moved, and Carlos went on to say: -I never fall in love with anyone before, and my feelings for youe so quickly and fiercely. I just want to protect you, so I want very much for you to stay by my side, but what I did scared you and pushed you away from me..... Thinking about what he felt when Mica rejected him, he didn''t want to experience this indescribable feeling again. Mica hugged him too, remembering every contact with him at this moment, thinking about his constant approach, against walls, against doors, on sofas and on stairs.... Mica blushed and whispered: -At that moment, you looked like a Don Juan..... Carlos also guessed what she was thinking and smiled slightly. He was very anxious at that moment, but he just wanted to get closer to her and nothing else. Don''t you know that men are self-taught in the sexual aspects without a teacher? -Well... -For example, every time I kissed you you felt as good as if you were giddy, didn''t you? Mica blushed immediately and wanted to push him away, but Carlos refused and even raised his chin and said in a charming voice: -Come on. Let''s kiss again. The man was so direct that Mica didn''t know what to do, and still wanted to push him away.... -I''m going on a business trip tomorrow for a few days. If you don''t kiss me, you won''t be able to kiss me for the next few days. Carlos'' malicious tone stopped Mica''s actions.... A few days... Mica began to miss Carlos before separating from him.... But! -Carlos, you''re a bastard! ording to what you said, it seems I want to kiss you a lot. I don''t want it! Carlos smiled even more, and glued his forehead to hers and asked: -Who was blowing behind my ear to tempt me this morning? Who was going to pounce on me to kiss me several times andined about my rejection? Mica suddenly blushed. This big bastard. He feigned dissatisfaction, even though he had taken advantages! -When did I seduce you? When did I blow behind your ear? -It''s unfair to me! -At noon in Brinte. How dare you refuse? -Carlos remembered. Mica remembered, and said after a while: -I was afraid you would make things unfavorable to Mr. Eric and thepany. It was an emergency case. I wanted to leave with you, so I came to you to talk, but not to tempt you! -Really? -An involuntary temptation? Then remember. Next time if you want to kiss me, you can try this way again.... Mica''s face was so red... Thinking that tomorrow she was going on a business trip and that he wouldn''t see her for a few days, Carlos just wanted to tease her more: -Kiss me! Quickly! Mica was full of nervousness. She wanted to push him away, but not so much.... Anyway, she took the initiative so many times this day, it wasn''t wrong to do it again, since tomorrow Carlos would be on a business trip.... Mica closed her eyes, tilted her head up. When the two lips of the woman were about to meet hers, the door opened from the outside! -I haven''t slept yet.... Alba''s voice stuck in her throat. Mica had already told her the password to the door, so she opened the door directly and walked in. She hadn''t expected to see such a seductive scene. Mica leaned against the wall, while Carlos hugged him. The man lowered his head, and Mica looked up at him. It looked like they were about to kiss ... This image was so beautiful, but in just a second, Mica pushed Carlos away. Well, she probably disturbed She ruined their lovely atmosphere... -Alba, good! Go ahead! Mica''s face and ears were red. She stepped forward to take the bag in Alba''s hand and took her hand up the stairs. As she passed Carlos, Alba didn''t dare look at Carlos, fearing her expression was unnatural. Mica did not dare to look at Carlos. She felt so shy and acted as if nothing had happened. -There''s also a bathroom in your room upstairs..." said Mica. A mischievous smile appeared on Alba''s face, just like the smile she always had when she teased Mica. Although she felt emotional about the scene she had just seen, she said in a more rxed tone: -You''re faking it. Look at the behavior of you Did you kiss at the entrance for a long time as soon as you came back? Alba knew everything by looking at Mica''s red lips.... -Alba, stop interrogating me! Mica begged for mercy and dragged Alba to her room. After settling Alba, Mica left her room, closed the door and looked downstairs.... There was no one downstairs. Mica thought that Carlos should also go back to his room to rest.... When she opened the door, she saw Carlos sitting on the edge of the bed. He seemed to be waiting for her. Mica could not help but feel joy in her heart, she turned and closed the door.... Carlos smiled and said softly: -Come. Mica stepped forward hesitantly: -What are you doing? There were still a few steps away from him. Carlos reached out his hand and pulled her, while Mica let herself fall on the bed. Carlos leaned over and kissed her directly.... After they kissed for a long time, Mica was out of breath, so Carlos let go of her, waited for her to breathe calmly, then kissed her again. He did so sessively, until Mica begged for mercy: -Carlos, that''s enough.... -It is not enough. The kisses of the next days must bepensated.... -Carlos murmured. Mica let out a sweet sigh, which made Carlos tremble. The man knew he couldn''t go on... Exhausting all his strength to straighten up, Carlos looked at Mica, whose long and beautiful hair was scattered on the pink sheets, with a blushing face and eyes full of a little woman''s charm... -Rest. Good night," Carlos'' voice was low and seductive. He got up and left after a long while. Mica blushed with embarrassment and took a while to get up to wash herself. Micay down again, remembering what happened this day. She found out what she had always N?velDrama.Org is the owner. wanted to know.... Amelia wanted to sow discord between her and Carlos, but she didn''t expect the rtionship between the two to be more intimate.... She didn''t worry about the past, she just lived in the present. She and Carlos were in love, and it was for the best.... As she fell asleep in a daze, she remembered the scene where Damien was protecting her daughter, and suddenly missed her family. Maybe she should go back to Elvira''s house and ask her aunt and uncle about her parents? It was after eleven o''clock at night. Alba leaned against the headboard of the bed, holding her cell phone in her hand. The screen suddenly lit up and it was a text message. -Let''s talk," Carlos sent it to her. This was the first time Carlos had responded to her message. When she was in Mangzarent Nation, Alba said that when she came back she wouldmunicate with Carlos face to face, but he never mentioned it again. In the morning, he said he was with Mica throughout the day, so he waited for Mica to go to sleep at night. When Carlos asked Alba toe to Barrio Fann as well, she knew his purpose. His purpose was only Mica. Every time he contacted her, it was for Mica. But what should she do? She couldn''t control her heartbeat for him. He knew she shouldn''t do it, but there were no other remedies left..... Alba thought she would forget Carlos in a few days just like other men she had loved, but not only did she not seed, but the image of Carlos was even more haunting in her heart. What should she do? Chapter 210 : I Have To Find That Damn Guy! Chapter 210 : I Have To Find That Damn Guy! Chapter 210 : I have to find that damn guy! When she was all dressed up, Alba went downstairs. In the warm light, Carlos was sitting on the couch and when she heard movement, she looked over. He had taken a shower too, in simple house clothes, surrounded by the faint smell of the gel mixed with his manly scent, so good it was addictive. Alba''s heart pounded again. Then she walked over and sat on his left side. -Miss Gbert, can you tell me what you know now? -Of course. But I still hope you won''t look into it. You''re very much in love now and it''s better to let bygones be bygones. As Alba saw that the look in his eyes was full of determination, she had to continue. -Well, if you catch that person, be sure to tell me. Alba hated him equally that man, who had caused Mica so much pain. In any case, her feelings for Mica were true. But Carlos spoke nothing, waiting for her to speak. "I really wouldn''t waste a single expression or word on another woman." Alba began to count: -That day was exactly two years ago, when I was in college, working part-time after school, and often not seeing her on the weekends.... Alba couldn''t help but me herself. She still cared very little about Mica at that point, and it had been a few days since she found out she hadn''te to ss. She called her anxiously, but no one answered, so she called Marcos instead. That damn guy, he hadn''t contacted Mica for a few days either! Alba hung up the phone angrily, and didn''t say much to him. Then she started frantically calling Mica as she went to the dorm to look for her, and her roommates were saying that she hadn''t been back for a long time.... He thought something was wrong. He immediately went to the small room rented by Mica. Since she had a part-time job in the evenings and the school was closed, she rented a small room off campus. When she nervously arrived, she saw the door locked and the phone had not been answered. She knocked on the door, but had given up hope, thinking to look for her family Elvira, and finally the door opened. Mica had a haggard look on her face, which frightened Alba, and when she saw her, she couldn''t stop crying. Her eyes were so swollen that she must have been crying for a long time.... -What is it, Mica? Mica stopped crying and said: -I''m going to take a bath. And then she went into the narrow bathroom.... It was November, and as there was no water heater, that day she rinsed herself with cold water until her skin turned purple and it could not be avoided.... Alba finally reacted to what had happened to her, and she was shaking with rage. Thinking that Marcos had fucked her, she was about to teach that scum a lesson, but Mica said: -It''s not him... Alba was dumbfounded. Mica was very conservative and shy, after such a big incident, it was strange that she didn''t copse.... Alba shuddered and asked: -Who is that? -I don''t know... Alba was even more surprised. Mica cried for a day, and didn''t say another word. After three days, Alba decided to take her to hypnosis. Hearing this, Carlos could hardly breathe. His eyes were red, full of anger and at the same time hating himself for not having been in her life before.... That hypnotist was known for having an entric personality, who was not willing to do it with money. However, when he saw Mica, he epted her right away, even though he didn''t have an appointment at the time.... -I thought I would know the truth, but I was wrong. She was crying and begging and wouldn''t let me in.... That''s all I know. She says nothing about where it happened, and as for who the man was, even she doesn''t know. Carlos guessed vaguely and couldn''t probe any further..... -She fell asleep after hypnosis, and I tried to find out the truth from the hypnotist, but he wouldn''t tell me. -After waking up, she forgot about everything, even about the matter of going to hypnosis. Alba had already burst into tears by the time she finished speaking, and at the same time she felt relieved. This was a secret she had carried alone for two years, and today she finally had someone to tell it to. Carlos'' heart filled with sadness and anger. The man who raped her and left her in so much pain that she had to be hypnotized to survive! "I have to find that damn guy!" -Mr. Aguayo, I''m done. There may not be anything of value, I''m sorry. Without speaking, Carlos stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, thinking intricately about many things. He couldn''t help but associate the ridiculous night he had experienced with the night Mica suffered, both of which urred in November. "Wow, what a coincidence." He had fantasized more than once if that woman was Mica, but soon dismissed the idea, knowing N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. full well that it was impossible. He had secretly checked and, as a result, discovered that she had neither entered nor left that hotel two years ago. "What a fantasy!" After all, Amelia was someone willing for Tomas and Diego, who were the ones she trusted the most. Besides, the next day, it was a given that Amelia and he slept together. He could only wonder if there was some kind of special connection between him and Mica? -They both experienced the taint together when they met and they were both so pure in love. What happened to Mica could also be a shock to Carlos, so Alba spoke words offort. "You both will experience the taint together when you met." Carlos frowned slightly. "Does it have to be like that for us to meet?" -Nothing is perfect. It''s good enough that you''re in love. Yes, he was happy when he met Mica, but whoever bullied his wife, he definitely wouldn''t let it go! Carlos had already decided. He turned around and looked at Alba: -Thank you, for always apanying Mica. Chapter 211 : What About You, Is It Mine? Chapter 211 : What About You, Is It Mine? Chapter 211 : What about you, is it mine? Alba saw that there was no longer sadness in Carlos''s gaze, but a determined imperative, and she couldn''t help but admire him because his emotions quickly adjusted. -That''s what I must do. I love Mica. "I love you too..." Alba averted her eyes, feeling disgusted at what she had just thought in her heart! Mica was her best friend, so she had to erase this unseemly emotion. As Alba went upstairs, Carlos sat back down on the couch and thought for a moment before getting up and going upstairs as well, opening Mica''s room, who was sleeping soundly with a red face. After closing the door, Carlos first lifted the quilt under her feet to make sure her little feet were fully healed and not red and swollen before lying down beside her. She consciously leaned over and Carlos gently took her in his arms and kissed her forehead.... Carlos liked Mica so much that looking at her and being near her made him feel happy. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. She was too wonderful and perfect, so the god arranged such an eventful experience for her to meet him, but in the future, he would not let her suffer a bit.... "I must find that bastard and avenge her!" *** In the morning, feeling a very slight movement, Mica woke up and saw Carlos who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "He was here all night?" She was instantly d and hugged him from behind, who was putting on his shirt. -Did I wake you up? Carlos buttoned thest button, turned to hug her and, naturally, kissed her on the cheek. -Carlos, how long are you going to be away on business? -You don''t want me to leave? Ashamed to look at him, Mica said: -You don''t want to leave me, do you? -You cane with me. As much as she wanted to go, she had a job and couldn''t leave. She shook her head and refused: -I want to earn good money to keep your bread. Hahaha. Carlos smiled slightly and rubbed her head: -You have put all the money on my card, what will you do to support me? Carlos was a little speechless at Mica''s actions. Once he received his sry at Nubcancion and Excelente Gusto, he sent a portion to the orphanage, the rest was transferred to his ck card! That card had an unlimited overdraft, but now it became a savings card! -The card is mine to do with as I wish. -Yes, the card is yours, the money is yours, and I am yours. She blushed and felt joy at the same time. She got up, heading for the closet. And at this moment, the man followed her, leaning a hand on the closet and pressing his chest against her back, whispering in her ear: -And you? Is it mine? Mica bit her lip and answered after a long moment: -Of course... Carlos gave her a firm kiss on the cheek and let her go. *** When Alba came downstairs, Mica was bringing breakfast to the table. While Carlos was talking on the phone, but his eyes were on Mica. After yesterday''s incident, the two had grown even closer. Especially Carlos, anyone could see that she was the only one in his heart. -Alba,e have breakfast! -Mica greeted briskly. Alba sat down and said: -I''m so sorry. I said I came back to take care of you, but instead you''re taking care of me. Mica sat across from her and said with a smile: -You take care of me at work, I''ll take care of you in life. After all, Alba would risk setting the kitchen on fire if she prepared the food. Alba picked up the sandwich and nibbled on it, saying approvingly: -I want to marry a man who can cook in the future! Carlos put the phone on the desk, sat down next to Mica and said suddenly: -Ernesto is a good cook. Alba''s heart ached. The man she liked was rmending other men to her? She could only pretend to be calm, and said with contempt: -I wouldn''t marry him even if all the men were dead! Ernesto''s voice came from Carlos'' phone: -Evil woman! Both Mica and Alba were surprised. When had Carlos be so naughty? Alba answered in a loud voice: -This is the truth. -Who''s interested in marrying you! Bad luck to whoever wants to! Carlos was serving dishes to Mica.... "He''s not unlucky. He and my best friend were very much in love." -I also feel unlucky for your wife. -You... Ernesto was very furious at her words. -Enough, Ernesto, see you at the airport," said Carlos and hung up the phone. -Is he also going on a business trip with you? -asked Mica. -Yes," Carlos looked at Alba and exined, "I read those contracts yesterday, and you can ept them, but not all of them. When you go to thepanyter, choose three of them. Don''t get too tired. Only then did they both remember that he was referring to the various sponsorship, advertising, and other contracts that Eric had given them a cursory nce at in the elevator yesterday. Mica asked incredulously: -Why did we only choose three of them? But Alba was very clear: -This is the time to prove yourself. Not everypany can work with you as they want. Carlos nodded in approval and looked towards Mica. Although after winning the tournament yesterday, and with her threat to Hector, no one should be looking for trouble with her anymore, she still had some exining to do: -Call me if you need anything, okay? Mica was quick to nod. A message came in from Diego, who was waiting downstairs. The feeling of not wanting to be separated from Mica was even stronger than thest time he went on a business trip. Chapter 212 : This Is What It Feels Like To Be In Love. Chapter 212 : This Is What It Feels Like To Be In Love. Chapter 212 : This is what it feels like to be in love. After eating a good breakfast, Carlos got up to get ready to leave and Mica walked him to the door. When Carlos saw her clinging gaze, he couldn''t help but hug her tightly. -Do you want any presents? -I''m not missing anything... Speaking of gifts, something shed in Mica''s mind, and she seemed to have forgotten something.... Knowing that she would say this, Carlos said: -Then I will choose it for you. She hurried to look at him and said: -Remember to bring one for Alba! Carlos did not answer, kissed her on the cheek and said in a low voice: -I''m leaving. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Then he let her go, turned around, opened the door and went out. Mica looked at the closed door, and returned to the dining table. Alba said jokingly: -I''ll sing you a farewell song, okay? Mica sat down next to her and I leaned on her shoulder: -I like him more and more. I fell in love, that I don''t want to be separated from him, and that I feel happy just looking at him, and.... Mica''s face reddened. Alba felt ufortable but smiled: -Yes, this is what it feels like to be in love. I don''t know why you were with Marcos then. She thought Alba would ask her what she had just said, but she didn''t. As she remembered something, her thoughts couldn''t help but drift a little, until Alba shook her and she answered: -Because it haunted me for so long. Alba had heard this reason countless times, and didn''t really believe it. Mica gathered her emotions and tidied up the table: -Well, it''s time to go. Alba nodded, and the two headed straight for Brinte. As soon as they entered, they met the models and staff on their way. They were all smiling amicably. It seemed like the entire modeling department knew about yesterday''s contest. When they arrived at the practice room they had arranged with Eric beforehand, Eric asked her with concern: -Mica, are you all right? Yesterday, Mr. Aguayo did not allow Mica toe, which scared Eric a lot, since a foot injury was something very serious for a model. Luckily, Mica sent him a messageter saying that it was just a puncture in the shoe, that it was swollen and that he was fine. So he was relieved and, at the same time, he admired her even more because she insisted on standing for so long and won thepetition. Now all the models were calm and no one dared toe to her exclusive training room looking for trouble anymore. Mica blushed slightly and smiled as she replied: -I''m fine, Mr. Eric, what''s my mission today? Eric nodded in satisfaction and handed her the prepared documents. -The activities we epted are all within the scope of the contract, but Mr. Aguayo still made many additions. Take a look. She took it and handed it to Alba directly. Yesterday Eric had learned that she trusted Miss Gbert. This was for the best, so that Mica would only take care of the front of the stage, and the others could safely leave it to Alba. -So Miss Gbert, you''re in charge of the contract," Eric looked at Mica. Today you start learning how to walk properly on stage. Everything else you are perfect, and the AFIA certification exam has been reserved for you. With a charming smile on his face, Eric looked at the two girls in front of him and gave them a wink: -Hey, pretties! I''m going to take you to the top of life! Afterwards, the two finally saw why Eric was so famous in Brinte. Eric, who had changed into a woman''s suit, slowly walked out of the fitting room in high heels. Every step was charming and stunning..... *** In the vi of the Davalos. Bianca was sitting on the sofa, phoning Carlos, and, as expected, he didn''t answer. She sighed, and there was nothing she could do. Tomas'' face suddenly appeared in her mind. "He must have gone back to Smentro..." "He hasn''t been in touch with me for a long time..." "He''s stopped loving me because he''s sad about what I said, isn''t he?" At this thought Bianca''s heart rose with some strange feelings, but she suppressed them.... "Well, it''s good to quit early. I already have Carlos in my heart, and I won''t ept him..." The more she thought about it, the stronger the inexplicable feelings became. She told herself not to think about it. "Why did I just call Carlos?" To ask him about Grupo Atenas, which suddenly disappeared. This was definitely rted to Carlos. She wanted to know, why, at first, was he the one who supported Grupo Atenas because of that incident, and now why, didn''t he give a little hope? Right now, in this very room, Damian, the president of Grupo Atenas, came crying and begged Jaime Davalos to help him, but thetter rejected him mercilessly. Damian did not say why Carlos had treated Grupo Atenas this way. However, Jaime Davalos also knew his character well, and Carlos must have been tired of his rogue behavior. The Davalos would never disobey Carlos'' orders, much less make enemies with Grupo Aguayo. But Bianca knows very well that Carlos was definitely not doing this just because of Damian''s character, there had to be some other reason, and maybe it had something to do with Mica.... The thought made her sit up even more nervously. At this moment, Jaime Davalos suddenly approached, with two copies of information in his hand, handed them to Bianca and asked: -Bianca, who do you think is the best person to get to endorse this new watch we are going tounch? These are the two candidates provided by thepany. Because he had scolded Bianca earlier, she did not speak to him for a few days, which made him very ufortable, and he was also very aware of his daughter''s attitude towards Carlos. Bianca took the first document of a very popr star and looked at the next copy, it is actually Mica! Chapter 213 : Come With Me To Familia Elvira Chapter 213 : Come With Me To Familia Elvira Chapter 213 : Come with me to Familia Elvira At dusk , Eric looked at the time and said: -Well, that''s it. It''s reallyfortable to teach a model like you who is hardworking, smart and good at learning. After a day together, Alba, who at first was a little suspicious of Eric, was nowpletely freed from her doubts. Although his looks and manner of speaking were a bit feminine, he was very handsome when he got on stage. Eric broke the gender line! -Alba, are you interested in joining us? -Eric asked. From the looks of it, Alba was definitely suited for modeling, but she needed more training than Mica.... -Thank you, but I''m not interested. Mica was still in front of the mirror, repeating the knowledge points. Before she thought it was quite simple to go through the scenery, but only after learning it today she realized there were so many details.... At Alba''s words, Mica paused, looking at herself in the mirror and observing the practice room through the mirror. It was a spacious practice room, three times the size of the ssroom, with mirrors attached to the ceiling on three sides, making it even more spacious, and she, dressed in a ck outfit that fit her figure perfectly.... "Am I interested in modeling?" No, if it wasn''t for the desire to avenge Adriana, if it wasn''t for the desire to get something quickly, I wouldn''t have entered this industry.... Eric was also looking at Mica. Although he didn''t know what she was thinking, he said: -The man is not, but she is not. -Mica is perfect for modeling. Born for the stage, because she is very attractive," with that he turned Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. to Mica, who also looked at him, "Have you really never learned? You are so perfect for the modeling industry! When Mica was about to say that she really hadn''t, Alba also came over, looked at Mica and said: -Maybe you did learn it, in your forgotten past. -You think you don''t know how to y the piano, yet you y it invincibly well, don''t you? With a decision in her heart, Mica said: -Alba,e with me to Familia Elvira. Yesterday she had this idea, and now, the idea was even stronger. -No problem! -Alba nodded. Eric was a little puzzled: -Hey, what are you talking about, why can''t I understand? Mica had no intention of hiding it from him either, and briefly outlined what she knew about his life. But she only said that she had been in a car ident as a child, that her parents had died that she had lost her memory, and that she waster adopted by Familia Elvira. As for the matter of Grupo Elvira''s predecessor being Grupo Noboa, Mica did not mention it. After all, that matter had been going on for a long time, and she could not get full proof. -My parents always had tutors for me as a child, and my piano teacher said I should have started when I was about four or five. As for the modeling, I don''t really remember.... Eric then understood something and remembered something else: -Speaking of thest name Elvira, in our industry, there is someone named Adriana? Remembering the first time he saw Mica, it was Adriana who took her, and yesterday, Mica was -It''s her -Alba looked at him and said- She is Mica''s cousin, and Familia Elvira we talked about, is her family. Eric was even more surprised. -Mother of mine... Yesterday, Adriana even openly stirred up trouble. Onlyter did he hear the models say that one of the reasons the group had gathered yesterday to make things difficult for Mica was indeed disobedience, but a more direct reason was the deliberate instigation of Adriana and Ivanna. Thinking about the oue of thepetition, Ericughed again: -No wonder you worked so hard yesterday! It looks like you didn''t have a good time at Familia Elvira and Adriana didn''t bully you much, did she? The wholepany doesn''t know she''s your cousin! -She hates Mica so much, how could she admit their rtionship on her own! Alba was going to say that Adriana seduced her boyfriend, but she left it at that. She was already happy with Carlos, so there was nothing to mention about losing Marcos. Thinking about this, Alba hurried to change the subject: -Mica, do you want to keep this matter a secret? -When the timees, it wille out naturally. But, Adriana is not a good person, so you both have to be more careful," Eric said. They both nodded in agreement. Alba handed the ssified papers to Eric: -This is the event Mica is going to attend. Eric took it and nced at it. With only three copies, he knew these were all tricks to gain poprity. However, Mr. Sarmiento, who valued profit, would be upset.... After changing clothes, Mica said goodbye to Eric and left in Alba''s car. On the passenger side, she pulled out her phone and told Alba: -Let''s go to dinner first. -You''re afraid you won''t have an appetite when you leave Familia Elvira, aren''t you? -How do you know everything I think? -I also know that you are looking at your phone to see if Mr. Aguayo has sent you any messages, right? Mica''s face flushed and she put her phone away while feigning seriousness: -You know too much, be careful I''m going to kill you! Alba couldn''t help butugh out loud: -Haha, Mica, if I really die, the person who will be the saddest will be you, right? Chapter 214 : ArenT You Ashamed? Chapter 214 : Aren''T You Ashamed? Chapter 214 : Aren''t you ashamed? -Don''t talk nonsense! We are all going to live to be a hundred years old. There was sincerity all over Mica''s face. Alba felt somewhat moved. Love and friendship could not bepared, she knew that Mica valued herself, and also enjoyed her attention. -Well, but when we are a hundred years old and full of wrinkles, we will be too ugly," Alba joked. "Hahaha, you''re right." -So we''ll only live to be ny-nine! "Does it make any difference?" Due to Alba''s few words, the mood dissipatedpletely. She couldn''t help fantasizing, what would Charles look like when he became an old man too? He had to be a charming and handsome old man, right? I couldn''t help but smile even more. "May we love each other into old age." The two found a simple, clean restaurant. They both consciously ordered what the other liked, then looked at each other and smiled, crossing out some of them, because there were too many! Since they were very hungry, they both started eating as soon as the food arrived. Alba noticed Mica, who was sitting opposite, she was moving so gracefully. Mica had been pacing all afternoon without a break, but she was rxed. Mica never swore, and she treated people politely. So Alba couldn''t help but be more curious about what her family was like. After dinner, Mica excused herself to go to the bathroom but took the check. On the way to Familia Elvira, Alba couldn''t help butin, and Mica said: -Alba, you stay by my side, how can I ask you to pay even for a dinner? Alba smiled and said: -I''m very happy to work next to you! They looked at each other andughed. They both looked at each other andughed. Mica looked at the increasingly familiar scenery and lost her interest in joking. Alba could tell how nervous Mica was and calmed her down: -Rx, I''m here! Mica nodded. "Yes, this is my father''s house!" The car slowly stopped at the front door and the two got out one after the other. It wasn''t the first time Alba hade here, but she still nced around. The iron gate was closed at the moment, and inside was a not veryrgewn. A three-story European-style vi that stood tall, and the colored lights on the outside walls illuminated it, which looked very nice. This courtyard and this vi, made people feel at home.... A maid came out of the house and looked at the people standing in front of the car for a while before recognizing it and shouting in surprise: -Miss Noboa! Mica nodded and smiled. -Hello, Fani, have you had dinner? Fani was the only servant in the whole Elvira Family who used to call her Miss Noboa. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. -Not yet, the gentlemen are still eating. The rule of Familia Elvira was that these servants were not allowed to eat until they had finished, and Mica too.... When she thought she was eating with Carlos, who cared for her and respected her in every way, Mica was very excited.... Another person came out of the house, and it was Marta. Due to the night, and the distance, she could not see clearly: -Is Adriana back? Fani opened the door as she answered: -No, it''s Miss Noboa. Marta frowned: -Who told you to open the door? -Is Familia Elvira a ce where that bitch cane and go as she pleases? Fani moved with a start, not knowing what to do. And Alba opened it with a bang, grabbing Mica''s hand and striding in. -Who do you mean? -I mean... Martha stopped and couldn''t help but be furious. She knew Alba. When Mica was still studying at the university, she used toe here to pick Mica up. "She''s definitely here for trouble today!" Mica looked at Marta and still greeted him kindly: -Hello, Aunt Marta. Marta snorted coldly: -You still know I''m your aunt? You joined the outsiders and caused my family to lose such arge piece ofnd. -I''ve kept you alive for so many years, but you even turned against Adriana. How dare you see me? Mica looked at Marta with a hint of disgust. The way she looked at her she had never had a bit of affection as a senior. She was hogging the house and thepany her father? How hateful! -Are you not ashamed of yourself, Mrs. Garcia? No wonder Adriana is such a good liar, she''s worthy of being your daughter! -What nonsense! -I''m telling you the truth! Ask the bitch on your side! She turned her fierce gaze to Mica and said: -Mica, don''t think you have a rich boyfriend, you feel proud. Sooner orter, you will be abandoned! Alba held Mica''s hand, trying to give her strength, and Mica looked at Marta firmly: -Aunt Marta, the day thend was sold, you must have watched Adriana''s live broadcast, right? Marta found her question inexplicable, how had she not seen such a triumphant scene of her daughter? -What do you think will happen if she lies in public and is exposed? -Mica continued. Chapter 215 : What Does Micaela Remember? Chapter 215 : What Does Mica Remember? Chapter 215 : What does Mica remember? "What?" Marta became a little nervous. Alba approached Marta with Mica, and said with a smile: -Have you forgotten? She said that she had voluntarily given thend to Andana and that it was she who financed the orphanage. -You know very well what the truth is, don''t you? Who do you think would be hurt the most if, for example, this matter were toe to light? Mica noticed that Marta was a little frightened.... -Aunt Marta, I just came to ask you a few questions. If you cooperate well, I can pretend that I don''t know anything about this.... Marta was furious, in the past, Mica didn''t even dare to raise her head, but now she really threatened her! -Is the public going to believe everything you say? What proof do you have? -All the children at the orphanage are the best proof. -Dare you dare let Adriana and I go to the orphanage together? We can have another live broadcast, called "True or False Charity". What do you think? "If this really got out, it would be a huge blow to her career. i can''t let my daughter take that risk!" At that moment, another person came out of the house, it was Marta''s husband, Sergio. He was wearing a gray suit, and he saw Mica with a watchful eye. He could clearly hear from inside the house what they were saying, but he had no position in the family. When he heard Mica say she wanted to ask something, he couldn''t help but approach. -Mica, you havee, have you already eaten? Then, Marta was going to inform her daughter. -We have eaten. Both Mica and Alba greeted him. Mica was still grateful to her uncle, the only person who took care of her in this family when she was a child. Two months ago, Marta and Adriana wanted to give her to a rich old man as a lover and locked her in a room on the third floor. If it wasn''t for him, she would have been crippleding down from the floor.... -Come in," Sergio greeted. Mica finally entered this home. She stood in the hallway and looked around. Everything was familiar... Mica pointed to the closed door of the room at the bottom of the stairs and asked: -Uncle, the piano, is it still in that room? -Yes, it''s always there. The maid tried to make tea, but Marta stopped her: -There''s no need, they''re not guests! Alba snorted coldly: -It seems that after Mica''s departure, Familia Elvira has declined, hasn''t she? She doesn''t even have a cup of tea? But it''s good not to drink it. I was afraid it would poison him, after all, it''s not as if it never did. Sergio''s face reddened. She knew that matter too... Marta said in disgust: -Please watch your words! Familia Elvira will soon be linked to Familia Carballo. Alba answered with contempt: -Really? Speaking of which, I heard some time ago that your beautiful daughter was going to get engaged to Mr. Franco. How is it that so much time has passed and there is no news? Has he left her? -Mrs. Garcia, it is known that Marcos likes to abuse women, so you should be careful about your daughter being abandoned. After all, her older brother is ready to marry Miss Carballo, and she has nothing to do with Familia Elvira! Marta was getting mad and angry! Mica, however, could not help the urge tough. Whenever she was bullied, Alba was always more anxious than she was..... Sergio was quick to stop this endless discussion: -That''s enough. Fani, go make the tea. However, Marta had to go on: -But now Marcos is so good to my daughter, and he takes her to dinner every day. Adriana is his true love! "His intention is to stimte me, isn''t it?" It had long been clear to Mica what Marcos was like. If she had loved Marcos before, hearing this, she might still have some thoughts, but, now, she felt nothing at all. -Sooner orter they would have to get married. Sergio really didn''t want to listen to Marta keep talking about this matter, so he had to change the subject and asked Mica: -Mica, why are you worrying about that piano? Without the slightest hesitation, Mica answered: -Because I remembered that the piano is mine. Now Marta did not feel like talking about other things and stood up. "No, this can''t be. Doctors have said, that people''s memories of childhood would have faded with age, besides she was stimted, the lower the probability of being able to remember..." Sergio also got nervous. "Did she remember anything?" -Uncle, my father bought this house and then you lived here with Aunt Marta and Adriana, didn''t you? Alba was surprised to hear this. "Is it true?" "Wasn''t she the one who lived in Familia Elvira?" -Aunt Marta, the piano is mine, not Adriana''s, isn''t it? Sergio was at a loss for words. It seemed that Mica had not recovered from his memory, so Marta still chose to believe what the doctor said: -What are you talking about? This house has been mine for a long time, after your unfortunate father died, this house has been auctioned and mortgaged to fill thepany''s financial hole! It was I who Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. bought it after saving thepany. Chapter 216 : IM Going To Get It All Back! Chapter 216 : I''M Going To Get It All Back! Chapter 216 : I''m going to get it all back! -It is true that you studied piano. But it''s not my responsibility to train you in this field, is it? Besides, the piano was sold together with the house. I bought this house and naturally the piano also belongs to me. How can it be yours? -Marta continued. Mica frowned. Marta was iming different pretexts. As for Mica, she had no effective proof, nor could she do anything with it. However, she still wanted to try! -Yes? Then surely you must have the certificate of ownership, right? Show it to me to see who the owner is! -Mica looked at her uncertainly. -Why do I have to show it to you? You soulless, I raised you, but this is how you leave me, pay what you owe me and I''ll consider whether to show it to you or not! -Marta interrupted Sergio when he wanted to say something after a long silence. Marta''s refusal made Mica assure that her suspicions were correct... -Mrs. Marta, get your facts straight. When Mica was in college, she worked on her own to pay for her studies and living expenses. She didn''t ask you for a penny! -Alba stood up unhappily. -It doesn''t matter that she didn''t ask me for money during college. But when he came back from the hospital, when he went to elementary and high school, wasn''t he spending my money? -Since you pay your maids who work in your house, why can''t Mica spend your money? She has worked so many years as a free maid in your house! Besides, you''re her aunt! ording to thew, you''re her guardian! -Alba was enraged by Marta''s insolence-, When Mica wanted to enter the university, you didn''t agree! If she didn''t have the exam exemption, you would have destroyed her future! Alba''s words embarrassed Sergio because everything she said was true. -That''s why? -Another woman''s voice was heard at the door. They all looked back. It was Adriana, and Marcos was there too. Not knowing how to answer him, Marta was relieved to see that her daughter had returned. Helped by Marcos, Adriana approached Marta.... -My mom didn''t give her the light, but she picked her up from the orphanage. She offered her room so she could sleep here and she also fed her. What do you want more? Do you want us to treat her like a princess? -Adriana looked at Mica and said in an arrogant tone. Yesterday she lost to Mica and her teammatesughed at her, with which Adriana was very annoyed. However, for this result, she also got something unexpected, Marcos. Marcos lifted her up to leave, which saved her honor in front of so many people.... It was the first time she was saved by a man. She had approached Marcos in order to take advantage of him, much less wanted to. But his behavior yesterday, moved her very much.... At this moment, Marcos was looking at Mica warmly. "I can''t separate from Adriana. I can only see Mica again through her." -Miss Adriana, are you professional thieves? Do you only steal Mica''s things? You steal her house, her piano, and also her boyfriend? -Alba scorned them. Marta and Adriana were speechless? -However, take good care of your new boyfriend that you have just stolen. Take a good look at his loving gaze at Mica. You have stolen the person, but his heart? -Alba kept saying. Mica stood up and took Alba''s hand, telling her not to mention that.... Immediately, Adriana looked at Marcos and was annoyed to see his gaze hurriedly averted from Mica. "Why is he still so obsessed with this whore?" N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. He already knew very well that it was impossible to be Mica''s boyfriend. Andtely he was already focused on Adriana. But every time he met Mica, he was at a loss. Every time it was like that! Alba paid no attention to Mica. She had abhorred Adriana for a long time. When she entrapped Mica, Alba already wanted revenge, but the right opportunity had not yete. And today she had to do something with her! -But I also thank you for stealing this bastard. If it wasn''t so, Mica wouldn''t have been able to find her good boyfriend now! Only you, Miss Adriana, consider a flirt left as a treasure! Marcos showed a bitterugh. A few years ago, he already knew Alba''s sour words. If he said something now, she would reproach him more.... Besides, what he said was the truth. He used to be adies'' man... Adriana got very angry and even wanted to p Mica, and Alba too! She didn''t pick up the man left by Mica! Suddenly, to Adriana came the words that Amelia told her today on the phone. -Mica, don''t be happy, do you think you can get into a rich and powerful family? Amelia is much more worthy than you, but Carlos left her too. You know your boyfriend very well, how can he like such a humble person? Ask yourself, do you deserve him? In all of Tdia, any woman is better than you. Carlos likes you now just because of your looks. Rich men are the same, who like them young and pretty. When you are no longer beautiful and he gets bored of you, what happened to Amelia will happen to you too! -Adriana said, holding back her anger. After hearing her, Alba got angrier and wanted to yell at her, but was stopped by Mica. From the corner of the smoke hung a cold smile: -Yes? And is your boyfriend rich? -Micaughed coldly. Adriana didn''t know how to contradict her. -What happened to Amelia she brought it on herself. You''d better worry about what''s going to happen to you! -Mica nced at Marcos and looked at Adriana. Mica wasn''t bothered by what Adriana said about her. But she couldn''t stand her badmouthing Carlos. He wasn''t as shallow as what she said. So, she had to do something. Soft rain curtain frowning: -What do you mean? -Adriana furrowed her eyebrows. -I mean, first of all, you took advantage of me to tell people that it is you who finances the orphanage. Second, I am now an official employee of Brinte. I will snatch your dream as what you have stolen from me. Also, this house you have stolen from me is mine and I am going to reim it. All that you have to worry about! -Mica looked at her with a merciless look, "In the end, except for Marcos, I''m going to get it all back! Chapter 217 : How Dramatic It Is! A Family Fights! Chapter 217 : How Dramatic It Is! A Family Fights! Chapter 217 : How dramatic it is! A family fights! Marcos felt discouraged before he could cheer up.... Adriana and Marta were very surprised that Mica had changed so much in less than two months! These words she said scared Marta! But to Adriana they provoked spite. She couldn''t do anything with Mica, because Carlos was too powerful! Finally, Sergio stood up and said in a sincere tone. -Mica, you have always been nice since you were a child. We Elvira''s owe you... -Useless! What nonsense are you talking about? I don''t owe her anything. It''s just that she''s shameless... - Marta eximed. -Shut up! -Sergio shouted. Marta shut up immediately... Did he want to rebel today? -I''m sorry, Mica. I''m useless and I''ve made you suffer so much. I''m d you found your love. You didn''te here today just to say that, did you? -Regardless of the astonishment felt by Marta and Adriana, Sergio looked at Mica with kindness. -Today I came just to pick up that album," Mica felt a little moved. -Well, I''ll give it to you -knowing the album she referred to, Sergio was about to go upstairs. -Son of a bitch, do you want to rebel? How useless you are..." Marta stopped him by grabbing his arm. Sergio pulled away from her with such force that Marta moved back a few steps. Adriana went forward to support her and saw that Sergio was very angry. Owned by N?velDrama.Org. -Don''t you know why I''m so useless? Don''t make me! -holding back his rage, Sergio said. His fury was very scary for Marta and Adriana. Sergio turned upwards. -Huf, how dramatic it is, a family is fighting! -Alba was content. Since Adriana''s hand wasn''t hanging, Marcos turned to Mica. But suddenly he was grabbed by Adriana and Alba through both arms. -What do you want to do? -They both asked him at the same time. -I''m sorry, Mica," Marcos signaled to be let go and looked at Mica sincerely. Mica was amazed that he seemed different than before.... -I shouldn''t let Adriana trap you. I didn''t think I would lose you. And I even thought I could be with you at the same time. I''m ashamed of what I thought back then... Mica and Alba were disgusted... -I know it''s already impossible for me to be your boyfriend. I just wanted to apologize for having deceived you so much. I have disappointed your trust in me. I''m sorry for trying to hurt you. I will change myself and treat Adriana well... In the future, I will only consider you as a friend and Adriana''s sister.... Adriana was surprised and found it unbelievable... -Well, Mica... -Marcos held back the loving words and said hesitantly -Excuse me, please. Alba was thinking about Marcos'' objective. What did he want to do? Was he going back to move forward? Of course, I hope you will be happy, brother-inw," Mica nodded her head. Marcos was hurt by this brother-inw treatment and he forced a smile that could not hide his sadness. Mica turned her head to the side. Marta was d. Finally, Marcos said that. Well, he and Adriana were going to get married soon.... Looking at Marcos'' face, Adriana didn''t feel happy, because he obviously hadn''t forgotten Mica yet. What virtues did she have? She had only been yed by him.... Adriana took a deep breath to hold back the words that almost came out of her mouth. She couldn''t say them, absolutely not! Sergio came down from upstairs with an album in his hand. Marta wanted to take it from him, but Sergio''s serious look stopped her! He had said not to force him. And she knew very well that the reason Sergio resigned himself for more than ten years. If she forced him, there was no telling what he would do..... From Mica''s reaction, Marta realized that she still hadn''t remembered everything.... And she perked up. "It''s okay, it''s just an album!" -Sergio, I''m kind doesn''t mean I''m weak. I just want to get back what belongs to me. Today I can''t recover everything at once, but I''ll do itter -moved, Mica took the album. Marta and Adriana felt a little nervous... Sergio smiled sympathetically. All this was destiny. If Mica could remember everything, he would have kept his promise too. -Mica, cheer up! -Alba, let''s go," Mica looked at Alba in surprise. Sergio said goodbye to them. Marcos wanted to do the same, but Adriana stopped him. They got into the car. Mica saw that in the rear-view mirror, Sergio was looking in the direction they were going.... -It seems that Sergio knows a lot. Besides, he doesn''t treat you badly. Why don''t you ask him about your childhood? -Alba asked as she drove. Looking at the album in her hand, Mica was afraid to open it. She knew that by opening it she might already know what her parents were like. -She''s not going to tell me. I asked him when I was a child, and he told me that they were all messages from God, that they couldn''t be obeyed. No matter how many times I ask him, the answer is always the same," feeling a little nervous, Mica replied. -Apparently, everything you just said is true. The Elvira''s have upied the property that should be yours, right? -Alba thought about what Mica had said and asked in confusion. Alba did not believe Marta''s pretexts. Looking at the neon lights receding outside the window, Mica exined the data given by Carlos in a summarized way. -It''s been so long. The Elvira''s processes are legalized. And you can''t get that back through thew? It was all the effort and sweat of his father, so it was taken by other people.... -Don''t me yourself as you were very little and I was hurt at that time. You were in the hospital for so long, it''s not your fault -understanding what Mica was thinking, Alba consoled her. -So far I have understood why my aunt sent me to the orphanage. So she could legally attribute the Noboa group to herself. Chapter 218 : Maybe All This Is The Best Destiny. Chapter 218 : Maybe All This Is The Best Destiny. Chapter 218 : Maybe all this is the best destiny. -Mica, maybe all this is the best destiny. Just think, back then, you were a child. You couldn''t do anything if your aunt wanted to achieve your dad''spany. Wouldn''t you feel more painful watching her steal everything without being able to do anything? -Alba felt sorry for her, "If I had known the truth, you would hold a grudge and you wouldn''t be as worthy as you are now, would you? Mica was speechless. ording to Carlos'' information, she had moved out of Zyalen Province and into Tdia and had no rtives other than the Elvira. In other words, even if she did not lose her memory, she would not be able to find anyone to help her. -Thank you, Alba," Mica said gratefully. Alba nced at it and saw that she still hadn''t opened the album. -Don''t you dare to look at it? -Let''s see it when we get home! -After looking at the album cover for a while, Mica put it down. After more than 20 minutes, the two arrived at Barrio Fann. They closed the door, turned the light on full st and sat down together on the couch. Mica felt nervous and uneasy, but she was also waiting for something. She slouched down on the couch and ced the album on herp. Alba leaned on it with the same posture. After a deep breath, Mica opened it slowly. Since the photos were taken more than a decade ago, they had faded a bit. But that didn''t affect the images at all thanks to good preservation. The first photo was of Mica''s entire family. The mother was on the left and the father on the right. Among them, Mica was there. The three of them were sitting in the living room of the Elvira''s house now. With her heart beating fast, Mica was looking at her intently. To her she seemed unfamiliar, but also familiar. The mother was beautiful and looked very kind at first nce. And the father was a gentleman. He was tall and slim... -Mica, you''ve been beautiful since you were a child! Alba noticed the little Mica in the photo. With vivid eyes, even though she was only nine years old, her beauty was obvious. The two continued to look at the photos in the back. Most of them were of Mica, showing various poses. Remarkably, her parents loved her very much. In one of the photos, Mica was on thewn by the vi gate. The sunlight was streaming on her delicate face and she looked happy.... -Mica, you learned to walk like a model. Look how you stand, isn''t that the posture of a standard model? Mica looked at the photo. Indeed, this position was the same as the one Eric had taught her! It looked like she had learned it as a child. But why had she forgotten it sopletely? -Alba, in soap operas, people who have lost their memory can remember everything after passing out from a blow to the head. Shall we try it? -Mica looked at Alba with disappointment. -Jolin! It''s too risky, what if this blow makes you a fool and you don''t even recognize Carlos? She was right, what a risk! Mica abandoned this unrealistic idea. -But you can go to the hospital to check for hymosis by pressing on the nerves or something. Medicine is already very developed, and maybe it helps you to remember your childhood! Mica nodded and the two continued looking at the pictures. On the next pages, there were some pictures of her with the Elvira family, and also the one of her and Adriana together. -I envied and hated you as a child! Look at the look on her face! The children did not know how to hide their emotions. They could see envy and disgust through Adriana''s gaze. Mica smiled slightly. Since she was a child, what Adriana did most with Mica was to hate and torture her. Mica felt discouragedparing the dress of the girls in the picture. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. -I guess your mom treated Adriana very well. Look, she wore clothes simr in style to yours. It must be the same brand as yours," Alba figured it out, too. -My piano teacher said that Adriana also wanted to y the piano because I did. That''s why my mom took her to learn it, but then she gave it up," Mica nodded. There were no pictures of her when she was ten and a few years old and only a few white sheets of paper were left behind. Maybe after that time the ident happened? They both remained silent for a long time. -Your mother let the Elvira''s live in her home and fed them well. She allowed Adriana to learn to y the piano. But when your parents had problems, they took over their property and mistreated you. What bad beasts! -Alba said. Mica raised her head to keep the tears from falling. She was hurting for her parents, who had been cheated. She hated herself for forgetting that so easily.... Alba held out an arm for her to hold on to her shoulder. -Come on, your boyfriend''s not here. I''ll lend you my shoulder! -Your shoulder is too small! -Understanding that Alba didn''t want her to feel sad, Mica made the joke. -I let you support me because you are my best friend. If you were someone else, I''d have to charge you by the second! -Alba put Mica''s head on her shoulder. -Thank you, Alba," Mica cried. -Silly! -Alba said after a pause, "Mica, you have to move on. All that has already happened for a long time. Now you have a new life and your aunt can''t do anything with you. Don''t sink into sadness. Your parents will be waiting for you to feel happy in heaven. Don''t disappoint them. -I will. I''m going to get that house back," Mica said quietly with her eyes closed. Suddenly, a video call rang on Mica''s cell phone. They both guessed it was from Carlos. Looking at the cell phone, it was him! Thinking she should give them space, Alba got up to leave. But Mica put the cell phone in her hand. -Alba, answer it and tell him I''m in the shower! Alba didn''t understand what she wanted to do. -Look, my eyes are swollen. He''s going to notice them and I don''t want him to worry. Alba understood her. By looking at her eyes, Carlos would know she had cried. She picked up the cell phone and sat down on the couch. Holding back her concern, Alba answered the call. Carlos'' face appeared on the screen. When she saw that it was Alba, her smile faded. -Where is Mica? -he asked directly. -She just went to take a shower. And her cell phone stays here. On the screen, her face disappeared and only the ceiling was shown. -Alba, are you lying to me? Chapter 219 : I Want To Hug You And Kiss You. Chapter 219 : I Want To Hug You And Kiss You. Chapter 219 : I want to hug you and kiss you. Confused, Mica looked at her. What had Carlos said? Alba quietly clicked the screen so that the camera panned to Mica. -Carlos, can you smell Mica''s scent through the cell phone? -she joked. Looking at the camera, Mica thought that Carlos'' words referred to what Alba said. How did he know she hadn''t gone to take a shower? -Here. Tell him yourself, I can''t help you! -Alba handed her the cell phone. Mica took it and Alba headed for the stairs. She noticed that, as Mica appeared on the screen, he showed his face? Carlos was an exception among men; his every behavior indicated that he only cared about Mica! Alba felt happy for Mica, while sad for herself. She hadn''t known that she was actually so sensitive.... Mica turned the camera on herself. -Did you cry? -seeing her face, Carlos asked her. He could always tell Mica''s abnormality by just a glimpse. Exactly, she had cried. Reddened, Mica looked at Alba, who had entered her room with the door closed. She couldn''t hide anything from him. -Look at me," Carlos ordered her. And she looked at him unconsciously. She was looking at him intently, and he was looking at her too. It was the second time they made a video call.... A lot of affection was shown in Carlos'' eyes. She was in a luxury hotel... -Why did you cry? -he asked. -Alba and I have been to the Elvira family. And I picked up an album from there. I felt a little sad after seeing the pictures of my parents..." she told him what had happened. -Did they humiliate you? Did they do bad things to you? After asking her that, Carlos thought his questions were too many, since now Mica was fine talking to him. Isn''t it true that she and he are greeted with a video? If any ident happened, I would have known about it by now.... -No, I''m fine, don''t worry. I''ve been feeling sad just because of the pictures. -I should be by your side by now. I''m sorry, kiddo -Carlos was relieved. -Why? -Mica was surprised. -You can cry alone in my arms. -You should tell me you don''t want me to cry, shouldn''t you? -You''ll have plenty of opportunities to cry in my arms..." Carlosughed. -Nonsense. You love me so much, you don''t want me to cry," saying, Mica''s face got redder. Mica had be more and more shameless! Looking at her blushing face, Carlos would like to fly to her side. -My girl... -After a while, Carlos'' hoarse voice was heard -Do you miss me? -Yes..." Nervous, she answered without thinking. -I miss you too. I want to hug and kiss you. Mica was very embarrassed to hear this. She bit her lip without daring to look at him. But as while she wanted to see him more, she fixed her eyes on the room behind him. He was sitting on the couch, and on the little table beside him, a card was deposited on which there was a sexual woman.... Well... Was it for sexual service? In such a luxurious hotel did this thing also exist? Carlos noticed Mica''s look and looked at the card. After changing the angle, the card was no longer visible on the screen. -What nonsense are you thinking about? -Nothing. You''re not going to like it..." Mica hurriedly shook her head and covered her mouth with her hand. Carlos took a look at the little card that upset him, wanting to rectify the hotel? At first, he should stay in a presidential suite. But as the electronic circuit there was faulty, he changed it to a VIP room. Unexpectedly, a hotel employee had contact with people from this service and put this small card in the room. -Chiquita, you are seducing me. -No, I didn''t say anything! -What you''ve been thinking, doesn''t it have something to do with something sexual? Mica blushed. The sexual service just came to her when she saw the card.... -You think I''m not going to like those women, but only you. -I don''t. You got the first half right, but the other half? -What? She hadn''t thought about the other half, really? Carlos became a little serious. Only Mica was going to like him. But didn''t she realize this and even want to object to it? -I hadn''t thought about this... It just urred to him that other women were not going to like him and she was the only one for him. He had also told her that he would wait for her. But he interrupted her before she thought he just wanted her..... -Well, do you agree with me? -Carlos asked slyly. Actually, he knew very well what she was thinking. But he still couldn''t help teasing her. Blushing, Mica admitted it by nodding her head. She was confident that he just loved her and would pay no attention to these dissolute women. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. But there was also a person who made Mica feel the crisis.... -Mica, I miss you so much..... Mica wanted to submerge herself in Carlos'' softness forever... She thought that she was very lucky to meet him... Not wanting to hang up the call, the two looked at each other for a long time, until a call from Mica interrupted them! It was Katarina. Mica felt a little discouraged because she still hadn''t finished the video call with Carlos. She just had to answer it, wanting to finish talking to her as soon as possible and then call Carlos. -Hello, Katarina.... -Mica, haven''t you opened the gift I gave you? Chapter 220 : You Have A Unique Advantage... Chapter 220 : You Have A Unique Advantage... Chapter 220 : You have a unique advantage... Gift? Mica remembered that when she said goodbye to Carlos this morning, he told her he would bring her a gift. At the time, it seemed to her that she had forgotten something. Until now, she realized that she still had one gift left to open! It was given to her by Katarina when she signed the contract at Brinte. -Sorry, Katarina. I forgot it. When I came back home, I put it.... She went to the shoe locker. He went to Carlos''panyter that day. He remembered that he was with the gift when he came back. And then... When he was changing his shoes, he put it in the shoe locker! Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He didn''t wear other shoestely, so he didn''t open the shoe locker door either and forgot about the gift After she opened the shoe locker door, she found that the gift was there.... -Mica, thank goodness I didn''t give you food! If I had, everything would have rotted! If someone sends me a gift, I''ll be very curious and I''ll want to open it immediately. How can you leave it like that without remembering for several days? Or don''t you take the gift I gave you seriously? -No, don''t misunderstand me, it''s not like that! -Mica rushed to exin, "You visited Carlos on purpose that day, didn''t you? As I was with him all day that day, I thought that the gift could not be opened in front of him, nor could I find the opportunity to open it. Later, I forgot it because of many houses happened.... -Haha... -Katarina''s slyugh was heard- You are showing me your affection again. You are living together for a few days, aren''t you? But, apparently, we understand each other. That''s right, you can''t open the present in front of your love. So do it now! You''re going to thank me! -Well... -Call me after you''ve seen it. See youter -Katarina hung up the call. Mica wanted to open the gift. But thinking about the interrupted video call with Carlos, she hurried to call him. The line was busy. Without thinking more, she took the gift and went upstairs. Passing by Alba''s room, she thought she could show him the gift, though not Carlos. He heard her talking as he was about to knock on her door. -I''m not going to say anything! Mica turned away hastily because it wasn''t right to listen to her talking on the phone in secret. But she was still curious. Alba spoke in a somewhat rigorous tone. Who would ask her to say what she didn''t want to tell? After closing the door, Mica sat down at the dressing table without thinking anymore. She felt a little excited looking at the box. All girls liked to open gifts, especially such a delicate gift! What was inside? Katarina had told her that she would appreciate it? Actually Mica couldn''t guess what was inside.... After untying the purple ribbon and opening the lid, she found a burgundy nightgown! With thin straps and an openwork waist closure, the nightgown came all the way down the leg. It was made of all silk and touched very soft. It would be very expensive! Mica was embarrassed. This nightgown was too attractive.... She stood in front of the mirror to see if it fit. She felt nervous, even though she was alone in the room.... "You want to seduce me." Carlos'' voice from the video call came to her.... Katarina wanted her to seduce him with this nightgown? But Katarina wouldn''t know that she and Carlos hadn''t made love yet.... Mica stood up. Actually, several times they wanted to do it, but they didn''t seed.... She didn''t dare to think anymore. She saw the box, where there were some more clothes! She pulled it out and realized that with the nightgown, they were a set. There was one more jumper. It came up to the knee and was secured with a ribbon at the waist.... With the negligee, it was regr pajamas..... And Mica had misunderstood her - Katarina had only given her regr pajamas! Mica was embarrassed. She looked at the box to confirm if anything else was left.... There was one more thing! At the bottom, there was a new Excellent Taste magazine, the cover of which was Mica''s! She hadn''t bought one to keep as a souvenir. Alba had told her to buy one. But since Mica was with Carlos every day at the time, she didn''t have the opportunity to buy one. After returning to the country, Alba bought it for her andined that she didn''t do things right? Why did Katarina give her the pajamas and the magazine? What exactly did she want to do? After picking up the pajamas, Mica sat back down and read the magazine carefully. Then, she saw the interview where Bianca dered her love to Carlos in a striking way.... She was just thinking about the person who made her feel the crisis. And now he saw this... Yes, it was Bianca! He had only met her twice and had not spoken to her. But Bianca was showing a lot of interest in Carlos, which to Mica seemed very strange.... Bianca was in love with Carlos. And Carlos and Mica loved each other. But ording to the identity, to Carlos Bianca was more deserving. She was his rival, Mica should dislike Bianca. However, Mica sympathized with her? Excited, Mica began to read this interview word for word.... It was told in the first person. It sounded more like a love story written by herself than an interview... Originally, she fell in love with Carlos at first sight and secretly loved him. She also learned to cook and came to Tdia for him. Until now, she dered her love to him publicly. She was doing all that for ten years.... Mica felt a little lost. She looked at Bianca''s individual photo. She was very pretty, soft and elegant. Men would like her... Mica couldn''t stop thinking why Carlos didn''t like her. And she sent a message to Carlos on Whatsapp. -Bianca is so beautiful and understanding. She knows how to cook and is very capable -Why don''t you like her? She regretted sending the message, but she was still waiting for his reply.... -You can do it too," he soon replied. Mica let it all out. He was right, why did she have to esteem Bianca to despise herself? Mica was also capable and a good cook! If she were so bad, he wouldn''t like her. -You are prettier and more virtuous than her. Besides, you have a unique advantage..." Carlos sent her another message. Not knowing what he meant, Mica frowned. Even she herself didn''t know what advantage she had. When Mica was reflecting, she received a new message... Chapter 221 : Talk To Him To Make Sure He Is In Agreement Chapter 221 : Talk To Him To Make Sure He Is In Agreement Chapter 221 : Talk to him to make sure he is in agreement After reading the message sent by Carlos, Mica covered her head with a thin quilt out of shyness.... In thest message was written: I just want to be with you. *** Putting everything else aside, Mica went to wash herself,y down under the covers, said goodnight to Carlos and went to sleep sweetly. "How does she know Bianca cooks well?" Carlos frowned at this question and immediately instructed Diego to book a return flight. The next day, when Mica woke up, she suddenly remembered something. Then she washed up and went to knock on Alba''s door with the magazine in her arms, and her voice came from downstairs: -I''m here. Only then did she realize that Alba was already sitting on the couch, fiddling with her phone. -Alba, why are you up so early today? -I couldn''t sleep well and woke up early. I ordered food and you don''t have to prepare breakfast. In fact, she didn''t sleep much all night..... Mica hurried downstairs, flipped through the magazine in her hand to that page and handed it to her: -Alba, the one you bought earlier doesn''t have this article! Alba took it and was surprised by the big headline before reading on.... Her copy really didn''t have this content. -This book must be the first batch published, and theter ones, this article was withdrawn. The one I bought is theter one," Alba concluded and continued, "The emotional story of the fancy family has always been a subject that the public is interested in. Surely it was not the magazine that proactively withdrew it. Mica also expressed her own doubts: -But this article doesn''t match the general style of the magazine. -So they should have been bribed by Bianca to help her publish this "love letter." "So why did you pull out?" -Where did you get this magazine? Mica said bluntly: -I got it from Katarina, when I signed with Brinte. -Why did she give this to you? Mica was a bit confused, since she didn''t know either.... Alba continued asking: -Is she trying to remind you that she has a strong love rival? Or is she siding with Bianca? Carballo family was one of the most powerful in Tdia, so it was normal for her and Bianca to know each other or have a very close friendship, but Mica didn''t sense any malice from Katarina.... -I guess there''s some misunderstanding? Alba didn''t hesitate to say so: -Then make an appointment with her to talk it over face to face. Mica nodded and immediately sent a message to Katarina asking for a date tonight, and she epted. When the doorbell rang, Alba went to open the door and then came in carrying her breakfast: -It''s Ss Caribe''s breakfast. Suddenly I don''t want to eat any of their brand. -It could be a misunderstanding, so don''t think too much about it. -But it makes me ufortable that she''s helping Bianca. Mica couldn''t help butugh: -I''m not even that hostile towards Bianca, why are you more anxious than me? -Anyone who might have hostility towards you, I hate. The two sat at the dining table, and Mica carefully told Alba how she met Katarina, and what happened next.... After hearing what Mica said, Alba changed her mind about Katarina. "She doesn''t seem to have ill will towards Mica and she is sincere." -You''re thinking too much, aren''t you? Mica asked with a smile as she finished her breakfast. Alba was not very convinced and hummed: -After I meet her, I''ll know exactly what her intentions are! Mica nodded cooperatively: Owned by N?velDrama.Org. -Yes, yes, yes, yes. Then the two cleared the table and left for Brinte. Once they arrived at the office, Mica went to the practice room and as she changed her clothes, Eric entered, a folder in his hand. -Mica, take a look. This is thest contract, you shouldn''t refuse it, please! Mica felt a little curious and took it. Alba also came over to look. It was a contract for a watch spokesperson, and it was actually from the Davalos family! They both looked at each other in surprise - what a coincidence! Mica quickly turned to thest page, which Part A had already signed nicely.... Eric said excitedly: -As long as you sign, this deal is done and you will be the endorser of the new limited edition watch of the Davalos family, the second after Familia Aguayo. This is an excellent opportunity for your career! Mica was a little embarrassed: -You know, I have to get his approval for any contract? Eric looked disconste: -I know, that''s why I came to talk to you first, I haven''t sent this contract to Mr. Aguayo yet, because he will definitely reject it! Mica thought so too. I definitely did not want her to have anything to do with the Davalos family.... -You''re going to take Grupo Aguayo''s endorsement on September, so he doesn''t care. But, me, and Brinte need it. Your boyfriend likes you so much. Talk to him to make sure he agrees! Since this was a contract with huge benefits for both Brinte and Mica, and even Hector had repeatedly exined to him that he couldn''t lose it. It was the first time Eric was so eager to sign a contract, because it was a great honor for Brinte to coborate with the Davalos family and Grupo Aguayo. -Mica, do you know who you''ve beaten? It''s the popr star of Superb leisure, Romina Freixa! Mr. Davalos is very confident that he wants to work with you. This is really a great honor. Superb leisure was Brinte''s biggestpetitor. No wonder thepany was so serious about this contract. Mica was a little hesitant. Alba put the contract away and asked Eric seriously: -Mr. Eric, can I give you an answer tomorrow? Chapter 222 : Why DonT You Show Off Your Flirtatiousness? Chapter 222 : Why Don''T You Show Off Your Flirtatiousness? Chapter 222 : Why don''t you show off your flirtatiousness? Mica understood that Alba wanted to meet Katarina first before deciding. Eric nodded, thinking that Mica wanted to argue with Carlos: -All right, you must convince your boyfriend to ept this contract. Saying this, Eric cocked an eyebrow at Mica and said: -Show him how flirtatious you are when necessary. -How? -Mica looked confused. Alba held back herughter: -Mr. Eric, she doesn''t seem to have that ability. At least she hadn''t seen it in all the years she had known Mica. "If she has such a reaction to Carlos?" "Maybe..." Alba thought with some bitterness. Eric looked at Mica in surprise: -My mother! You have such a pretty face, such a perfect figure, and such a loving boyfriend, why don''t you show off your flirtatiousness? How did you manage to win Carlos'' heart? N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Mica blushed a little. Before she could say anything, she saw Eric straighten his shirt cor and said: -Come on, learn from me! Then, he grabbed Alba''s arm and shook it gently, lowering his already thin voice with a flirtatious expression: -Honey, promise me, okay? They were both stunned, especially Alba, who pushed him straight away. Mica hurried to say seriously: -Mr. Eric, don''t worry, I''ll do my best to convince Carlos! Only then Eric looked serious: -All right. As women, you have to give free rein to your advantages, you know that? Alba spat in her heart: "Instead of squirming like that, you might as well kill me!" But she didn''t expect that one day she would, and she would be incredibly grateful for Eric''s teaching today.... After one day of practice, Eric was very satisfied. It took Mica only two days topletely master the two-week course for other models. And then he exined to Mica: -Tomorrow I will gather the other models and begin formal practice in preparation for next week''s show. Get a good night''s rest... Also, make sure you convince your boyfriend, okay? The time was approaching for Katarina''s appointment, so she hastily nodded, and left with Alba. She got into the car and told Alba the address she had agreed on with Katarina before Mica rxed her body and rubbed her shoulders. -Tired, aren''t you? -Alba asked with concern. -Yes, but it''s better than yesterday -after thinking about it, she said seriously. Alba, it''s boring for you to stay with me all day, isn''t it? She felt guilty, that Alba had a master''s degree abroad, but she did insignificant things on her side? Alba knew what Mica was thinking and spoke directly: -Don''t worry about me. I can rx before work and I can only be calm when you are able to be independent. Mica was touched, and she made up her mind to work hard and be strong so as not to let this best friend worry. -Have you been reading to our group? -What? Mica didn''t react for a moment to what Alba was asking her. -Mica, we''re going back to the university for the graduation ceremony, and the graduation party, have you forgotten everything? It was then that Mica remembered: -We don''t have a few days left. I didn''t really pay attention... Arriving at the destination, Alba looked for a parking space and said: -Your status is different now, so the university may treat you special. You should be prepared. Thinking of her professional mentor, who expected a lot from her, Mica felt a little embarrassed. "I didn''t think I would change careers halfway through. My mentor must be very disappointed to see me on the entertainment news..." Alba then noticed that Mica''s expression was somewhat dejected and immediatelyforted her: -You''re wee, when you get a foothold in the modeling world, in your spare time, you can still do what you like to design, as a hobbyist, right? Mica looked at Alba with some surprise: -How do you know me so well? Alba smiled smugly: -I also know that when you heard me say that, you immediately got in a better mood, didn''t you? Mica nodded, but was even more curious. Alba didn''t rush to unbuckle her belt, but looked at Mica and asked: -Do you know why I like being with you? This question had never urred to Mica? -Because I see that you care about me, that you value me, that you are helpless before me, and I like the feeling that you trust me. Do you? It was a reason she couldn''t understand. She wasn''t supposed to be helpless in front of her best friend? -You used to be especially defensive. But since you''ve been with Carlos, your emotions are all obvious," Alba added after a pause. You''re more rxed in front of the people you care about. Didn''t she feel a bit overwhelmed in front of Carlos, Alba, and Mom Director ... The sound of knocking came from the car window, and when Mica looked up, it was Katarina, with a smile looking at Mica. -Katarina ... Mica hurried to let Alba get out of the car together, and then they both introduced themselves. -Alba, this is... -I know, this is the daughter of Familia Carballo, Katarina! Alba greeted her with a smile. And Katarina also smiled and said: -I know you too, Alba, don''t I? Both Mica and Alba were a little surprised. -My family has business dealings with yours, and I heard your brother Mateo talking about you, and he even showed me your picture! Alba was even more surprised. "My brother was mentioning me to others?" -I really envy you for having a good brother. Alba raised her eyebrows and said: -In fact, I don''t know if he''s good or not.
