Miguel looked at Umberto and laughed in his heart.
“I can come without your invitation.”
Camillo was his own brother, and he could know where he was going and follow him easily.
Miguel was the most familiar with Albina among these people and she gave him a cheerful greeting when she saw him:
-Miguel, Umberto says you have something to do today and you can’t come.
Miguel turned his head to look at Umberto.
“This guy didn’t even inform me and cheated on Albina.”
How badly he wanted to tell Albina, but thinking it was his celebration and seeing the smile on her face, Miguel finally said nothing.
When he heard talking with Albina, Umberto was nervous that Miguel might say something against him, but fortunately he said nothing, and he was relieved.
Miguel was standing to the side, and Albina was still a little embarrassed to see him. The last time she had gone to her father’s banquet, pretending to be Miguel’s girlfriend, but not long after, her identity had changed to his best friend Umberto’s girlfriend.
-Camilo, I… -she tried to explain.
In fact, Camilo was very attentive, and knew instantly what she wanted to say, so he said directly:
-Albina, it’s okay. We already knew at that party that you were not Miguel’s girlfriend.
Only then did Albina relax:
-That’s good, I was afraid you’d misunderstand.
Santiago listened to them talking, already eagerly opening the delicious lunch boxes on the table.
-Hey, I haven’t eaten anything since breakfast and I’m starving.
He was a psychiatrist and had quite a few patients today. I had been busy and had been hungry for a long time.
They all looked at each other and laughed.
Albina looked at her phone and said to Umberto:
-I’m going down to pick up Ariana.
Umberto got up:
-I’ll walk you.
-No, no,” Albina pulled him to sit down, “I’m the star of the party, if I’m not there, my family has to take care of the guests for me.
The title family made Umberto happy.
He flashed a smile and agreed:
-Good, then come back soon.
Miguel noticed his cheerful look and clutched the fork in his hand angrily.
Even though he had accepted reality, he still resented that happy look on Umberto’s face.
Camilo looked at his brother’s look and silently pushed his plate away, whispering in his ear:
-Miguel, control your emotions. This is Albina’s celebration, if you spoil it, she will be angry.
Miguel took a deep breath before suppressing the rage.
He didn’t want to argue with Umberto, otherwise it would be Albina who would be in trouble.
Santiago was eating very fast, when Umberto looked at him, he said with disgust:
-You look like a hungry man.
Santiago ate without stopping and vaguely answered:
-It’s all right, here are all the acquaintances. Besides, I am very hungry.
At this moment, the door opened and Albina and a girl came in.
Albina’s appearance was already very beautiful, and the girl behind her, although not as beautiful as she was, looked very elegant and attractive.
When Santiago saw her, he froze and knew himself to be flushed and shy, his heart racing.
-Ariana, sit next to me, I’m going to introduce you.
-This is my best friend Ariana, a very famous painter.
Ariana smiled:
-Hello everyone. I’m not famous, I’m just a painter.
-Everybody greeted her one after the other.
Umberto saw that Santiago was still frozen. So he hit him gently:
-What are you doing!
Only then Santiago reacted and tried to swallow the food in his mouth, but as he was in such a hurry, he choked hard and coughed incessantly. His handsome face was red and it took him a while to recover.
-I’m sorry, I… my name is Santiago, I’m a psychologist, if you have any psychological problem, you can….
Camilo heard this and laughed out loud:
-Santiago, how can you curse someone who suffers from a mental illness in the first encounter.
Santiago’s face turned red and he hurried to explain:
-No, I didn’t mean that, I…..
Ariana smiled and held out her hand to greet him:
-It’s okay, I know what you mean. Hi, I’m Ariana.
Santiago took her hand and felt very happy.
-Hello…
All the guests were present and the banquet started.
Santiago was originally seated next to Umberto, and Ariana was seated next to Albina, with a distance between them.
She aimed her gaze directly at Macos.
Santiago deliberately walked past Macos and sat in the seat that originally belonged to Macos before him.
Macos looked at Santiago, who looked very natural, and was very confused.
-Macos, what are you doing standing there? Have a seat.
Santiago, with an innocent look on his face, pointed to his seat for Macos.
Macos knew instantly what his intentions were. He was no match for Santiago and could only sit in his seat and look at the crockery that had been used.
Always like that. Santiago was cheerful at the sight of a pretty girl. But he had never seen him so enthusiastic about any girl.
Albina, as the star of the celebration, poured herself a full glass of wine, although she was not a good drinker.
Umberto was quick to stop her. He had always remembered the way Albina got drunk. He didn’t want to be forced to sing with her all night again.
-All right, just one drink.
He finally agreed to let her have a drink, but Albina’s face turned red after one glass, but luckily she wasn’t as drunk as before.
After everyone had eaten their fill, the plates were cleared away. In the box there were quite a few entertainment facilities, and they ordered quite a few drinks.
Before long, the entire compartment was filled with the sound of Camilo’s singing.
Albina and Ariana were whispering to each other. She chatted happily with Ariana about the state of her relationship with Umberto and took a sip of her drink.
But soon after, she felt dizzy and her face was getting redder and redder.
Umberto kept an eye on her and, noticing that she didn’t look quite right, he approached her and put his big hand on her forehead:
-Why is it so hot?
