In the Santangel Group, Umberto kept looking at the clock. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
When the minute hand reached a specific position and the alarm on the cell phone was remembered in time, Umberto suddenly grabbed the jacket on the back of the chair and stood up.
Ruben knocked on the door with the documents:
-Mr. Santangel, this?
Umberto looked at what he had in his hand and said softly:
-If it’s not too important, you can handle it yourself.
After he finished speaking, he simply walked away, his back in a hurry.
Ruben was very surprised at his boss’s action. The gentleman always liked to work late, so why did he leave on time today? If he read it right, it seemed that he was even a little excited, wouldn’t it be a date? Miss Albina forgave him already? No, it should be just an illusion of Mr. Santangel’s. It was clear that Miss Albina had a serious face with Mr. Santangel when he met her last time.
Umberto was unaware of Ruben’s perplexity and just watched the traffic in front of him with a tense expression. After leaving so early, he even encountered a big traffic jam.
He kept looking at his watch.
Umberto forgot that he usually left work very late and, of course, there weren’t many people on the street, but right now he left work on time and was in rush hour.
It had been an hour since he finally arrived at Albina’s community.
When Albina got her call, she was a little surprised:
-Why so early? Umberto, don’t you usually leave work in the middle of the night?
Umberto was surprised. He forgot that Albina had been married to him for three years and was very familiar with his daily work schedule.
-I haven’t been in good health this year. The doctor told me not to work too hard and demanded that I get plenty of rest.
When Albina heard his words, her eyes filled with concern. Umberto was always in good health. Now he was able to follow the doctor’s orders like this. How bad his health was this year.
Ariana was paying attention to Albina and sighed when she saw her worried expression. Umberto was really an intriguing guy and this pretending trick really worked very well.
When Albina went downstairs, Ariana looked out the window. She saw a tall man getting out of a black car. Although she couldn’t see his expression clearly, she could feel his warmth and affection in front of Albina.
Ariana smiled. She could clearly see Umberto’s thoughts and methods, but it didn’t remind her too much of Albina, it was precisely because she could see that Umberto really liked Albina. Of course, Albina also had feelings for Umberto. As for what would happen to them in the future, she would let her friend decide for herself.
As for Miguel, whether he could win Albina depended on his fortune.
Ariana was in a good mood. She was Albina’s friend and only cared about Albina’s choice. She would never help anyone. Everything was based on Albina’s own wishes. Umberto and Miguel, who would be Albina’s fiance? It would be up to themselves.
Umberto drove Albina to his residence.
After Albina got out of the car, she looked at the house with a stunned expression. Her eyes were slightly red. She had lived in this place for three years. She was very familiar with this place.
-Enter.
Albina nodded and followed him.
When she opened the door, the furniture inside and their positions were exactly as she imagined them, as if everything was the same as yesterday. She could tell where things were with her eyes closed.
Umberto seemed to see what he was thinking and said in a low, husky voice:
-Nothing has changed here. After you left, my mother and Yolanda threw a lot of things away while I was away. I couldn’t find those things, I could only buy them back little by little based on my own impressions.
Albina did not speak, she closed her eyes and touched her furniture and ornaments, feeling a very strange feeling in her heart.
This house was decorated by her little by little and she didn’t take anything with her when she left. She was not surprised by the behavior of her mother and Yolanda.
To her surprise, Umberto actually filled this house back up little by little. The decorations and various daily necessities here looked very new. There was no trace of having been used, but they were exactly placed where she was familiar with.
He had never been good at housework and didn’t pay attention to these little things. Many times he couldn’t find the things he needed and had to rely on her help. It was hard for Albina to imagine how he relied on that slight impression to add so many things one by one.
The tears fell all at once, but she quickly wiped them away.
When Umberto left the room, except that his eyes were slightly red, she saw nothing.
-The bedroom is ready.
Albina nodded, put down her things and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Umberto looked she was still very familiar with the house. His heart was going through a hot flow and his mind remembered the images of her cleaning the house before, as if nothing had changed.
-Lie down on the bed,” Albina told him expressionlessly.
Umberto looked at the clock:
-Minus eight. It’s a little early. Do you want to chat?
-No,” Albina refused him outright, reminding herself in her heart not to fall for this man’s trick.
When she saw this house, a very familiar emotion occurred to her, which invaded her heart and caused her a nostalgia. All that made her fear that she would plunge into the past.
-Although it’s a little early now, but that’s okay. When you go to sleep, it will be nine o’clock, a proper time to sleep.
He said with a very indifferent tone, like an emotionless massage robot. She refused any approach from him.
Umberto sighed in his heart to discover that she always kept alert with him. However, all that was foreseen by him. He had to regain his heart little by little.
-I’m going to the bathroom to take a shower,” said Umberto and went to the bathroom.
When he came out, he deliberately used only a bath towel to hide the most intimate part. So his strong, shapely figure was revealed.
Compared to the gentle Miguel, his body had more muscles and more virility. His skin was cool and white, his muscles were well proportioned, which looked very sensual.
Umberto pretended to dry his hair casually. When he lifted and put his arms up, the muscles appeared.
Albina tilted her head uncomfortably, her cheeks flushed:
-Umberto, put on your clothes.
Umberto was very pleased with her reaction. After drying half of his hair, he casually placed the towel around his neck with a smile:
-Albina, you know my habit. She always towels me after I shower at home.
-Now I’m here. Behave yourself.
Umberto approached her. Just after taking a shower, he still had the steam of water on his body and as well as the lemony scent with which Albina was very familiar. This was the smell of a brand of shower gel she is used to.
There was an ambiguous atmosphere throughout the house.
Albina felt her throat dry and her whole body felt uncomfortable.
Umberto’s voice was hoarse and he was very close, as if he was rubbing her ears.
-Albina, in my eyes, you are never a stranger, but an intimate person to me!
His words were like an explosion, Albina’s ears turned red.
