Albina and Macos had just left the room, seeing Yolanda and the two sisters on the way out to cover for them.
-Albina, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky to have passed the eliminator.
Albina blinked her eyes, smiling,
-I’m so sorry to disappoint you, Miss.
Yolanda could no longer stand Albina’s existence. Therefore, every time she saw her, the fire of hatred burned in her heart.
-Don’t be so happy. That doesn’t mean your luck will be as good next time.
-I will also give you a piece of advice,” Albina’s eyes were fixed on Yolanda, who said coldly, “You killed so many people and you should be imprisoned. You will not escape punishment someday.
Yolanda trembled for a moment. Her face turned pale.
But the back of her hand was very warm, as if hot blood had splashed on it when she killed David a few days ago.
Seeing Liliana, Linda and Macos looking at her in surprise, Yolanda roared at Albina with a horrible expression,
-What nonsense are you talking about? I have never committed any crime, why are you slandering me?
Albina gritted her teeth. Yolanda, who had done all the bad things in the world, dared to say such a thing!
Albina didn’t want to talk too much. As she was about to leave with Macos, something occurred to her,
-Mr. Yolanda, you must have been under a lot of pressure recently. You look much thinner. Also, she wears a lot of makeup.
Yolanda unconsciously covered her face and backed up a few steps in panic, looking at Albina with red eyes.
Seeing her strong reaction, Albina was also puzzled.
In fact, Yolanda had changed a lot since the last time they had seen each other. She was so thin. Even if she wore a lot of makeup, you could see that her health was very bad.
-And her hair, why does it look like a wig?
-Shut up!
Yolanda shouted angrily. She hated people talking about her hair the most,
-I’m fine! You should worry about yourself,” she said and angrily left a little hurriedly, as if she was running away.
Macos looked at Yolanda’s back and frowned,
-She looks seriously ill.
Albina pursed her lips and said with a complex expression,
-She has done too many things against her conscience and is being punished.
-Don’t bother with that. The top 50 will be selected tomorrow. All your opponents are very powerful, so the competition will be strong. Go back and have a good rest.
-I have to go back to the company to take my design manuscript,” said Albina.
As Macos was about to say to take her back to the company, he heard the sound of a car honking its horn. When she looked back, she was immediately amused,
-Someone is coming.
Albina’s eyes lit up when she saw the familiar car, so the weariness in her face suddenly disappeared.
Seeing her appearance, Macos could feel the sweetness of love.
-Go. I know where your manuscript is and will bring it to you tomorrow.
Albina hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse him. After thanking him, she ran to the car.
Umberto got out of the car. He was tall and long-legged, and his facial features were flawless. Seeing Albina running, he quickly embraced her.
Leaning on Umberto’s arm, Albina felt very pampered.
-What are you doing running so fast?
Albina, whose cheeks were flushed, raised her head, and hugged him enthusiastically,
-Umberto, I passed the first round.
Her eyes were full of hope, like a girl who had gotten top marks and was eager to be praised by others.
Umberto was not stingy with his own admiration either. His eyes were full of emotions, and his voice sounded husky,
-Superb!
Hearing Umberto praise her highly, Albina felt embarrassed and lowered her emotion-filled voice:
-I just saw Yolanda and deduced that she would not win the competition. When the result came out, her face became somber.
-Is that so? -Umberto pinched her cheeks with a smile in his eyes.
Albina nodded,
-Of course! I’m very pleased to beat Yolanda, but….
Thinking about how Yolanda looked a moment ago, she frowned,
-Yolanda is sick? She looks very bad.
Umberto sighed,
-The recording of David’s confession has been released and someone has taken action.
Albina looked surprised,
-Like what I guessed earlier. She is being punished for the crimes she has committed.
She sighed. At the thought of her mother, she was in a bad mood,
-I don’t know when we can find the key evidence and avenge my mother.
Umberto pursed his lips after hearing this,
-Not only your mother, but also your father.
Albina was stunned for a moment,
-What did you find?
Umberto stroked her hair, looking apologetically into her eyes,
-Before I was too stubborn and didn’t believe what you said. I remember you told me that your father drove you home without eating, or even drinking. If he didn’t drive after drinking, why does the autopsy result show that the blood alcohol concentration is too high? This is a big problem.
Albina nodded and clenched her fists tightly. When she remembered her father’s voice and smile, her eyes turned red,
-My father doesn’t usually offend others. If something like this happens, I’m afraid it has something to do with Yolanda.
Seeing that the emotion and the smile on his face had completely disappeared, Umberto felt very uncomfortable, thinking that he should not have spoken of this matter that had disturbed his mood.
-Forget it, there is no secret that can be hidden forever. Yolanda can’t clean up all the tails either. Because now there is no evidence and no clue, no matter how sad it is, nothing will change. For you, the most important thing is to win the competition.
Albina sighed, looked at him and smiled,
-You’re right. I know this matter has something to do with Yolanda. I think the fact that I win the competition will be a great impact for Yolanda and her family.
Taking Albina’s hand, Umberto let her sit in the passenger seat and buckled her seat belt,
-Let’s eat something delicious to celebrate your first success.
***
After returning to the company, Macos informed everyone that Albina had passed the first round of the competition. Albina’s success delighted all the colleagues in the design department. In fact, they all saw her hard work and hard work during this month.
There was no doubt that she achieved that with her incredible talent and so much preparation.
Lila did not look good, but she had to hide her dissatisfaction at the sight of so many people.
Macos left happily, because he had to organize the work quickly to accompany Albina to the next competition.
Looking angrily at Macos’ back, Lila involuntarily cut two large holes in the thick paper on the table.
She had never liked Albina. Knowing that Albina was going to participate in the competition, she prayed that she would be eliminated in the first round. She wanted to tease Albina when she returned to the company so she wouldn’t have any words to defend herself.
But the truth was that she had passed the competition, which made Lila very angry.
Lila was so anxious that she couldn’t look at work. At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang It was an unknown number.
Thinking it was a salesman, she was about to hang up, but accidentally pressed the button and heard a woman speak in an arrogant voice.
-Hello, is this Lila? I am…
The woman’s words made Lila stand up so suddenly that her chair hit the flower pot and made a loud noise.
-What’s wrong? -one of her colleagues was surprised.
Lila’s face turned pale. Looking at her colleague, she quickly explained,
-It’s okay, I feel a little sick to my stomach.
And then she grabbed her cell phone and quickly ran out of the office.
