With undaunted eyes, Albina looked at him an expression of stupefaction at the undisguised admiration and pride on Umberto’s face.
-Albina, you never seem to know how good you are,” Umberto’s voice was incredibly soft.
During the time of blind, her father died, her mother was seriously ill and the whole world was dark. Like her own husband, she didn’t give her the care and love she deserved, and her mother gave her a hard time and bullied her. Albina was so positive, caring and tried her best to give her warmth and love, even though her whole being was in the depths of darkness. She learned all sorts of things and was admirably strong and independent.
After regaining her sight, she strove to achieve her ambition with such determination and conviction that her whole being seemed to glow and he can’t take his eyes off her.
It was then that Umberto realized that Albina was not weak or incapable of taking care of herself. She was intelligent, beautiful, patient, big-hearted and sweet. And she also sought punishment for those who bullied her.
Every aspect of her was perfect.
Umberto’s eyes are so full of love.
In the face of love, Albina was nervous and confused, unable to resist him.
-Albina , don’t put too much pressure on yourself, although we all hope you will succeed, we can tolerate your failures, you are still young and you have infinite possibilities.
When Umberto said this, Albina suddenly felt relieved and her frustration disappeared. Her eyes sparkled with joy:
-Umberto, I suddenly realized something.
-What is it? -Umberto’s voice was full of affection.
-I think you’re just like my father!
Umberto’s expression changed. He turned his head and saw his own reflection in the glass case of the bookshelf, but his face looked very loving and kind.
Shit! He didn’t want to be his father. But seeing Albina’s beautiful face, I thought of her father’s death, Umberto silently swallowed his words.
That night, Albina slept very well, waking up refreshed and looking at herself in the mirror after washing. She clenched her fist tightly, today she was going to take the title.
“Not for Umberto to be my boyfriend, of course not!”
When she came downstairs, she found Umberto already waiting for her downstairs, and when she came out, he told her to get in the car.
Once Albina had fastened her seatbelt, he handed her the hot breakfast in her hand.
-You haven’t had breakfast, have you? I made it, try it.
Umberto’s voice is soft, but his face was very cold as he looked ahead and concentrated on driving.
Albina found that today’s breakfast was a little richer. A sandwich, warm milk and an orange.
Albina was very happy as she ate Umberto’s loving breakfast.
When they arrived at the venue, Macos was waiting for her at the door and, seeing Albina, pulled her backstage:
-Albina, you became famous in the last contest, so don’t get nervous because there will be a lot of people watching you afterwards.
When he spoke, he was the one who was more nervous.
Albina looked at him curiously, she had gone to bed after her phone call yesterday with Umberto and she didn’t know how she had become famous.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Macos held out his phone to her:
-Look!
Albina looked at it and was surprised.
News full of “beautiful designer” “talented designer”…. With all these exaggerated words and headlines, Albina could only think of one thing: to destroy a person by excessive flattery.
Yesterday’s surprise was something she didn’t expect. After exposing Victor’s plagiarism, that is, two together of her designs had been promoted, so she received much more attention than Liliana and Linda.
-Albina , apart from that, you forgot something -Macos took a look at her excellent appearance and sighed-, Your appearance is so outstanding, besides, you made an impressive presentation, that now the requests for you to win are very strong on the Internet.
-So, the more the praise, the more ridiculous I’ll look if I fail, right?
-Exactly,” Macos nodded awkwardly.
-I can only succeed in this competition and I can’t fail, right?
Albina’s eyes turned cold and Umberto unconsciously squeezed her hand to control his emotions.
-Albina , calm down, don’t get angry, remember what I told you last night?
-Don’t worry, I won’t be impatient or fall into the trap of others -Albina took a deep breath and calmed down a little-. I suspect that since last night, someone is behind all this.
-You’re right, at first, it was on a small scale, at least when I went to bed, I could only see scattered reports about you, but when I woke up this morning, it was overwhelming publicity. Our company has never dedicated anything to marketing designers, the only one who has used this tactic is Yoli. This type of advertising is exactly the same as Yoli used to brag about her designers.
-It looks like Yolanda is the one who did it, no doubt.
As they were talking, Yolanda approached with Liliana and greeted them in good humor.
-Albina, the beautiful designer of today’s Hot Topic, I am so honored to see you,” her tone was exaggerated.
Albina was disgusted, if she was competing, she should do it properly, not with this kind of games.
But this is also Yolanda’s style.
Both Liliana and Linda also heard about the popular search and didn’t have the courage to look at Albina, they knew that Yolanda wanted to mess up Albina’s mind in the race.
But they said nothing, after all it was also a big competition for them. If they won it, the Carballal Group would give them more money for the study.
Albina looked at the two sisters, who stood silently behind Yolanda, and smiled. It turned out that, as long as it was relevant to the interest, everyone could keep quiet in the face of injustice, even though in the last game they had said they wanted to compete honestly.
Albina raised her head and looked at Yolanda with an arrogant expression:
-Yolanda, you only know how to use these tricks, but I still won the last turn. I’ll do it this time too.
Yolanda looked at his confident look and bit her lower lip fiercely,
-Albina, this time we have two designers in the Carballal Group. You’ve been lucky in the first two shifts. But now, it will be different.
