When Albina came downstairs, she saw that Umberto was standing next to the car.
He was wearing a black suit and a white shirt whose skin was tanned, with very handsome facial features and a tall figure. His head was slightly bowed and his black hair covered his eyes.
His aura was very indifferent and he appeared aloof and unfriendly. With the inconspicuous luxury car beside him, he was obviously a young talent with a very good life.
Several girls leaving work in the same building stopped in the distance and looked at him, saying something with many emotions to their nearby companions, and turning their heads as they spoke, whose cheeks were flushed with clear shyness.
Albina shook her head smiling. As she was about to approach, Umberto raised his head as if sensing something.
Seeing her, he unconsciously showed a soft smile, so the feeling of coldness and aloofness on his face disappeared instantly.
-Albina! -He took several steps to walk towards Albina and consciously grabbed Albina’s bag.
This behavior left Albina confused. It wouldn’t be unusual if the others had such a skillful action, but it was a bit strange when the same case happened to Umberto. Umberto had never done anything like this since he was a child and he had a life that was going from strength to strength. Someone would serve him wherever he went. Whatever he wanted to do, someone would do it.
Umberto noticed her surprised expression and smiled. In the last few days, he had especially asked Ruben to find some information for him to study. Since he wished to pursue her again, he had to learn some means.
They said that men who understood and loved their women with kindness were the most salacious and the most likely to move people, so Umberto planned to use what he learned.
Now it seemed that Albina should have noticed him.
As he thought, he saw that Albina had a serious face:
-Umberto, what happened to you, why are you so gallant?
Umberto was speechless and a little disappointed.
However he took her hand and led her to the car.
Albina wanted to free herself from his hand but found that his hand was particularly icy as a piece of ice.
-Why is your hand so cold?
She asked and Umberto released her hand at once showing the apology on his face:
-Sorry.
Albina frowned and looked at him,
-How long have you been waiting for me?
-Not long.
Umberto was interrupted by her as soon as he spoke:
-Tell me the truth!
She had a very serious face and stared at him.
Then Umberto answered honestly:
-I arrived here at six o’clock.
Albina lowered her head to look at the time and noticed that it was already past eight o’clock, so he had been waiting for her downstairs for almost two and a half hours.
-Are you silly? It’s so cold, why don’t you wait for me in the car, why don’t you call me?
The words Albina said were very nice and he even expected Albina to continue.
If Ruben was there, he would definitely be surprised that his boss obediently lowered his head listening.
-I asked someone to see what happened in your office and he told me you were still working, so I had concerns about bothering you.
Umberto said quietly. He knew that Albina paid great importance to work and did not want to interrupt his ideas and inspiration, he preferred to wait for her downstairs like this. After seeing the light off, he confirmed that she had finished the work, so he called her.
-You can also wait for me in the car.
Albina reached out and grabbed Umberto’s hands. She put her hands in her palms and rubbed them together with attention to warm them slightly.
-I’ll be worried if you leave without finding me.
Umberto lowered his head and saw only her head. He noticed that her hands were holding and warming his earnestly, which made him feel a warmth in his heart.
-Get in the car. Let me drive,” Albina said, walking to the car.
Umberto was stunned and then followed her right away:
-Albina, do you know how to drive?
Albina paused with an unnatural expression:
-Yes, but I haven’t driven for four years.
Seeing her uneasiness, Umberto sighed helplessly and pushed her towards the other car door.
-Stay in the passenger seat. I worry about being on the news for you.
Albina wasn’t confident either, so she just climbed into the car obediently.
After the two of them drove off, finally the girl next to them watching all the interaction between them spoke to her companion with envy on her face:
-Really, I want a boyfriend like that, did you see the look on the man’s face? Very affectionate.
The companion looked at her:
-It’s easy to meet a man like that but hard to have one.
The girl gave a sigh:
-You’re right. His girlfriend is also very beautiful. I envy her very much.
Umberto drove the car with ease and said to Albina:
-Don’t worry about David’s affairs from now on. I asked for someone to arrange it. He will not appear in front of you in the future.
-How?
Albina was stunned for a while, then she looked at his handsome face and asked him very attentively:
-Did you kill him?
Umberto laughed:
-No. I am a good citizen, how is it possible for me to kill someone?
Although he really wanted to let David disappear forever, that bastard still had some use for him, so he could only let him go temporarily.
Then Albina breathed a sigh of relief:
-Don’t kill anyone. People like David are hateful, but he’s not worth getting your hands dirty for. You’re much more precious than he is.
Umberto gave her a look full of love that even he himself had not discovered. Recently Albina’s attitude towards him was getting better and better, which was a good thing.
-By the way, I have something to tell you.
Albina talked excitedly with him about participating in the competition.
-I don’t expect Mr. Murillo to choose me as a representative of the company. I am very happy about this. This time the Carballal Group is also going to attend, because next I have to work hard to defeat the designers of the Carballal Group, and I must strive to win the championship.
She was so animated that her eyes were shining.
-Umberto, this opportunity is very rare, do you know that? As long as I win the championship, I can cooperate with Claire and my works will also be exhibited at the Paris Fashion Week.
Albina said excitedly whose face blushed completely. She didn’t realize how dazzling the expression and sparkle in her eyes was when she talked about the things she liked.
If it wasn’t for the worry of a traffic accident, Umberto would have looked at her without moving his eyes.
He had a smile on his face and said in a loving voice:
-Albina, you are more outstanding than you can imagine. You will definitely win the championship.
Hearing the words, Albina kept looking at him and when she noticed his serious look, she stroked her own head shyly:
-There are many designers in the competition. They are very outstanding. In fact, I am not sure I will win and I can only do my best for the competition, not to lose the chance.
She really loved this industry very much and was quite happy when she saw that her works could be recognized and appreciated by people.
-There is still a month left before the competition. I will prepare well for the game.
-Well, you can ask me for the favor when you need it.
He was going to help her with everything.
When they were near the community, Albina had bought the food that Ariana asked for and was ready to say goodbye to Umberto.
Umberto straightened up, and in a hoarse voice looked at Albina:
-Albina, when are you coming back to be with me?
Albina was surprised and very confused at heart:
-Now I just want to do the revenge. If I don’t perform it, I won’t think about these things.
Umberto smiled:
-Well, do you accept installment payments?
