Umberto said sadly:
-Albina, I won’t let him bother you…. -he took a step forward, gently caressed her face, and continued in a trembling voice- -don’t reject me so quickly, okay? Give me a chance…
She didn’t have time to finish the sentence when suddenly she heard the bathroom door open.
Miguel came out with a bath towel wrapped around him, as he asked:
-Albina, have my clothes arrived?
Albina startled, and before she could take a look, a pair of large hands covered her eyes.
-Why are you bathing here? -Umberto asked in disgust.
Miguel stretched slowly. Since he had just showered, his body was not yet completely dry. The sun was shining on his skin, highlighting his seductive muscles. Noticing Umberto’s angry look, he became cheerful and said:
-Guess.
“A man and a woman alone in a room, what else would I guess?” Umberto embraced Albina in his arms. He knew very well that, just as Albina had said that she had not yet taken her revenge, so it was impossible for her to start a relationship.
Michael said this deliberately to provoke him. So he certainly would not fall into her trap.
At that moment, the maid brought the clothes to Miguel.
However, Umberto took it first, threw it directly to Michael and, led Albina out of the room.
-What are you doing? -Albina frowned.
-How can you let Miguel bathe in your house? -Umberto asked angrily.
-It was all your fault! -Albina looked him up and down.
-What? -Umberto felt confused.
-You were the one who had someone catch him last night, weren’t you? He had just been let out and was worried that something had happened to me, so he went to my house without changing his clothes. He’s a bit of a neat freak and wanted to take a shower. How could I refuse? -Albina glanced at him and continued, “So you still don’t think this has anything to do with you?
Umberto was speechless for a moment.
-Besides, Umberto, in what capacity are you accusing me? -Albina stared at him.
Umberto frowned and felt helpless because he discovered that he didn’t even have the right to be angry.
Miguel quickly changed his clothes and opened the door. Seeing the two of them standing in front of the door, he said:
-Albina, thank you, I feel much more comfortable now.
-You are welcome, Dr. Aguila.
Her attitude towards Miguel was much better than his, and Umberto felt unhappy again. He looked at Miguel, with a pointed look: since you have finished showering, why don’t you leave?
Miguel did not notice and said to Albina:
-Since you are well, I won’t bother you. Rest well -then he smiled and looked at Umberto-. Mr. Santangel, come with me.
Umberto looked at her face and always felt he was acting very hypocritically.
The two men looked at each other as if they were ready to fight. Albina felt it, whispering in Umberto’s ear:
-Get out first. It’s better to wait until you officially break off the engagement and we can talk properly.
Hearing this, Umberto’s expression relaxed a lot:
-Okay, wait for me -Umberto finished and gave Miguel a provocative look-. Mr. Aguila, let’s go.
The two took the elevator down together, and after the door closed, Miguel looked at Umberto and asked:
-What did Albina just tell you?
-Guess,” Umberto looked at him.
He returned the original words to Miguel, whose face became even colder.
After getting off the elevator, Miguel said:
-Mr. Santangel, I advise you not to waste your time. You have already hurt her before and it is impossible for her to accept you.
-No way! Unlike you, we have a basis for a relationship. She keeps calling you Dr. Eagle. It seems that in her heart, you are just a doctor,” Umberto said indifferently and continued proudly. At the banquet, she still called me Mr. Santangel but now she calls me by my name. Last night, what happened between us was much more exciting than you can imagine.
After saying that, she didn’t wait for Miguel’s response and left quietly.
Miguel had so much anger and, he really wanted to know what had happened last night.
Umberto also felt uncomfortable in his heart. “Miguel can shower at her house. That means he is special to her.”
When he returned to the office, Ruben happened to finish his meeting. He saw Umberto and prepared to inform him of the situation, but Umberto just ignored him and made a call.
When the other party answered, Umberto shouted in a furious voice:
-Fuck! Camillo, your brother disgusts me, deliberately flaunting his figure in front of Albina. How annoying!
He had been married to Albina for three years, but she hadn’t seen his figure.
Ruben didn’t dare to speak. “It seems that Mr. Santangel and Mr. Eagle ran into each other at Miss Espina’s house and definitely argued.”
Camilo felt so innocent and when she was about to speak, he had already hung up. “What does what Miguel has done have to do with me?”
Besides, when Miguel left Albina’s house, he also went straight to find Camilo, unbeknownst to Camilo.

When Albina was almost cured, she started to find work.
Her biographies was really very good. She had graduated from a world-class design school and had won many awards during her college years. Many of her classmates were international designers, and she was lucky enough to intern at several famous companies. Although she lost her eyesight after graduating and did not work for four years, with this resume it was not difficult to find a job in Sogen City.
Ariana thought the same as Albina, but the truth was different from what they had imagined.
It was strange that no company accepted her resume, and Albina didn’t even get a chance to go in for an interview. Albina was perplexed and took the initiative to call to introduce herself, but as soon as Albina’s name was heard, she hung up the phone.
She had no choice but to submit her resume to several small companies, and in the end she could have some interviews. She thought she answered all the questions well, but in the end, she always failed.
At the last interview, Albina answered the interviewer’s questions perfectly and he was very satisfied with her and was even willing to hire her on the spot. However, a man came in and whispered something in the interviewer’s ear.
His attitude suddenly changed, and he regretfully looked at Albina:
-I’m sorry, you don’t meet our hiring criteria.
Albina finally sensed that something was wrong.
