Chapter 176: Pretending to court her

Book:The Blind Wife Published:2024-6-3

-Did she really go to Grupo Carballal? -Albina froze for a moment and then asked.
The two people who hated her had joined forces.
But Grupo Carballal didn’t have much power at the moment, so even if Lila went to work for Grupo Carballal, it wouldn’t have much effect on Albina. But this matter was very uncomfortable for her.
Especially Lila had just told Mrs. Espina that Umberto was her boyfriend.
This matter, which had been hidden from Familia Espina, was revealed in this way.
Albina inadvertently turned her head and saw Macos, who was drinking milk tea with satisfaction.
As soon as Macos raised his head, he saw her staring at him, so he blushed.
-Why are you looking at me like that? -he asked with a puzzled look as he held his cup.
Was my love for milk tea exposed in front of her?
Albina suddenly smiled:
-Mr. Murillo, you look so handsome.
When she said that, Macos motioned her to stop:
-If other people compliment me, I’ll feel happy, but if you compliment me, it’s like you’re being sarcastic.
Then he touched his cheek.
“Although I’m not ugly, compared to Umberto, it’s still quite inferior. Albina is so beautiful and still has a boyfriend as handsome as Umberto, how could she think I’m handsome?”
Albina shook her head:
-Hey, don’t say that. You’re tall, well-built and more handsome than all the stars. Otherwise, Lila wouldn’t be in love with you.
The last sentence made Macos finally answer:
-I was wondering why you suddenly started complimenting me, so that’s what you meant.
Macos was no fool, and Albina didn’t want to beat around the bush:
-The reason Lila attacked me was because she thought I was seducing you. Ultimately, it was you who got me into trouble. You have to take care of her, otherwise I would be under too much pressure.
At these words, Macos felt a little embarrassed.
Indeed, Lila is obsessed with me, and if she is targeting Albina like a rabid bitch, it has something to do with me.
-What do you want to do? -Macos looked at her and asked.
Albina came up with a solution:
-How about seducing Lila?
Macos was surprised and, before she could answer, shook her head desperately:
-No, it can’t be.
His handsome face was flushed.
“I have not yet fallen in love or slept with any woman.”
Albina saw him cover his chest, looking confused, and then said:
-What are you thinking? I’m not trying to get you to sleep with Lila.
He looked at her as if she was going to force him.
Macos was relieved, but his gaze remained wary:
-Tell me, I can help you as long as you don’t break any laws or regulations.
Only then did Albina detail her plan:
-Lila is now an employee of Grupo Carballal and Yolanda hired her because she hates me and wants to join forces with her to take revenge on me. If I let it go, who knows what they will do behind my back? I’m busy designing the clothes for the show with Claire and I don’t have any free time, so you’ll have to figure it out from the inside.
-That’s why I want you to pretend you like Yolanda and try to exaggerate a little. Lila loves you, and if she finds out you’re chasing Yolanda, she’s sure to transfer her hatred to Yolanda.
It was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone. This broke their bond and created a new enemy for Yolanda, like a rabid bitch.
The more Albina thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her.
Macos seemed very upset after hearing it:
-Mother!
He was upset with Yolanda, plus the two families were in competition. If he pursued her and her father found out, he would definitely be angry.
Albina thought about it too and tried to convince him:
-Well, maybe you should warn your parents in advance. Let’s see, if Yolanda has an additional enemy, it will speed up the destruction of Grupo Carballal, which will benefit your family a lot.
“How exciting! This will definitely make Lila crazy with jealousy.”
-But… -Macos continued hesitating-, Even though I like Yolanda, she won’t believe it. After all, I’ve targeted her before, and if they guess our plan, it would be useless.
Albina smiled and stroked his shoulder, saying mysteriously:
-You don’t know women well.
Yolanda was very vain and Umberto’s rejection of her killed her self-esteem. Besides, with her inability to conceive, the weakened power of Grupo Carballal and her ruined reputation, the boys who used to surround her had mostly disappeared.
Macos’ family was good, and he looked good, and if he could feign great affection for Yolanda, even if she was suspicious, he would show his happiness unwittingly.
And it would take just a little to make Lila jealous.
When Albina and Macos got a little closer, Lila would go crazy with jealousy, and if she saw Macos actively pursuing Yolanda, she would hate her to death.
If Yolanda flaunted a little more in front of her, it would achieve the effect they wanted even more.
How interesting!
Macos frowned and thought for a while, taking a sip of milk tea before saying:
-Okay. Tomorrow… no, I’ll bring flowers to Grupo Carballal tonight!
Albina gave him an appreciative look:
-Very good! I didn’t expect you to be so good at wooing women.
Macos showed a proud look:
-My friends used to change girlfriends and I learned that a long time ago.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Albina looking at him.
-What’s wrong? -he asked.
Albina laughed out loud:
-So you’ve never even had a girlfriend.
Macos blushed and became irritated:
-No way! I’m a womanizer, and I’ve slept with more women than you’ve ever met!
Albina raised her eyebrows:
-Really?
-Of course!
-Well, when you have a girlfriend, I’ll tell her this.
Macos was speechless.
-Mr. Murillo, I’m going to work. Goodbye.
After saying that, Albina smiled and turned around to leave.
Before she could take two steps, she suddenly felt the hem of her dress being grabbed.
When she turned around, she saw Macos blushing:
-Albina, I admit that I have not been in love. If I have a girlfriend, don’t talk nonsense in front of her.
Albina finally couldn’t hold back her laughter:
-Okay. I won’t let anyone else know you’ve never been in a relationship either.
When Macos was relieved, Albina turned her head and asked:
-Can I tell Umberto?
-Of course not!
If Umberto found out, Santiago and Camilo would too. If they knew, everyone would know.
After all, they liked to spread gossip!
