When she finished speaking, Lila took one look at Macos and ran off.
Macos shuddered as he remembered her smile before she left. Although he had bad intentions when he said that, but Lila was too scary.
“I’d better not mess with women in the future, including Lila, Yolanda and Albina.”
He was very pleased with his performance today, especially the words he had just spoken to provoke the breakup, which had played an important role in bringing the conflict between the two to a head.
While giving himself a very high rating in his heart, Macos called Albina on the phone.
After reporting the results of their battle, Albina was slow to respond:
-Mr. Murillo, the video of his confession, has already been uploaded to the Internet, and I have seen it.
Albina looked at Macos’ affectionate face in the video and her expression was very complicated.
She had teased him about not having a girlfriend today, but ended up giving him a big surprise.
The man was so good at acting, he could be an actor, and it was a shame he was only a president.
-What do you think I’ve done? -Macos asked impatiently, wanting to hear Albina’s assessment.
She was slow to say:
-Great! I really didn’t expect it. Your confession video has become popular and many girls have fallen in love with you in the comments.
Macos froze for a moment, then gripped the phone tightly and asked worriedly:
-What should I do? If I have a girlfriend in the future, what if she sees it? I can’t explain.
“You’ve played it so well that you’ve achieved this effect!”
“Sometimes perfection is a flaw.”
Albina groaned in her heart, but thought of Macos’ effort to do all this, and still said comfortingly:
-Don’t worry, the news is all of a temporary nature, in a few days you will be forgotten by the public. I won’t ask you to do it later.
Macos felt aggrieved that Albina would not, but her father would.
Today, even the big banner photo was done, and he didn’t know what would happen tomorrow.
-Okay, I have to calm down,” Macos was about to hang up the phone when something suddenly occurred to him. I said today that I wouldn’t let you take care of the company’s business to cheat Yolanda, so, you shouldn’t go to the company for the next while, just go straight to Claire’s house.
In fact, this matter was planned by Macos before.
Albina was responsible for the company’s news every season, and she also had to go to Claire’s house, which was too much work and in the long run it was exhausting.
So now I was trying to get Albina to focus on Claire’s work.
-Albina, when the Paris fashion is over, I think you will become more famous, and at that time, I suggest you open your personal studio.
I was speaking from the position of a friend, rather than a boss.
So it was all for Albina’s sake.
Albina listened to his sincere advice and was touched:
-Thank you, Macos.
-You’re welcome, we’re friends! -Macos smiled, his handsome face softened, but then tensed. Then you must reveal this to Umberto in advance, or he won’t let me go free if he knows.
These words revealed his fear.
Albina could not restrain a laugh:
-Well, I’ll give him right now. But the less you know about this matter, the better, so Yolanda will believe in you and Lila will hate Yolanda even more.
Lila should be able to gain Yolanda’s trust before taking revenge on her, and Albina would only need to see this show.
-Don’t worry, I’m ready to be scolded,” said Macos.
But after all his sacrifices, it was not all in vain. His father promised to satisfy his two demands if Grupo Carballal fell.
Macos had thought about what he wanted.
One was the company’s money. He wanted to expand his business.
The second was freedom of marriage. He wanted to marry the woman he liked and was against family marriages.
As long as these two requirements were met, he would be satisfied.
Albina was relieved to see that Macos was still in a good mood. In fact, she felt quite guilty letting him do something like this.
But it was so effective that it was a shame not to use it.
Just after she hung up with Macos, Umberto’s call came in and Albina knew she must have known Macos’ confession as well.
When she answered the phone, she heard Umberto breathing heavily.
After a while, he said cautiously:
-Albina, in the next few days, when I finish my work and I’m free, I’ll take you on a trip, ok?
When Albina heard this, she was very happy.
-Why are you suddenly talking to me about this?
Umberto’s voice was a bit stuttering:
-Nothing, it’s just that I feel you’re too tired now?
Albina finally laughed and said:
-Umberto, don’t worry, I’m fine.
-Do you know about Macos?
-Not only that, but I was the brains behind the idea.
-Idea? -Umberto’s voice was full of doubt.
Albina repeated to Umberto what she had told Macos before.
After a long while, the other party answered:
-Albina, why do you have so many strange ideas in your head?
That last word carried a dragging tone and a laugh, like little hooks, that tickled Albina’s heart one by one, and she felt her ears getting pregnant.
-Do you think it’s a bad idea?” asked Albina with a red face.
His voice was tinged with affection and laughter, fascinating Albina.
-Do you think it’s a bad idea? -asked Albina with a red face.
Umberto laughed lightly:
-I think it’s very good. This idea saves time and effort. It’s the same as putting a traitor in Grupo Carballal. Don’t you know, the whole Carballal Group has been very cautious since the incident. And this is a big help.
Only then did a smile return to Albina’s face. Getting Umberto’s approval meant that the idea really worked, and that Macos had not sacrificed himself in vain.
She thought of Macos and smiled as she told Umberto what she had just ordered.
Umberto was silent for a while and said:
-I saw the video of his confession, and to be honest, the first thing that came to my mind at that moment was how to kill him.
Albina was speechless.
Macos knows Umberto well. No wonder he begged me to let him know earlier. This man is really brutal…
But the feeling of being protected by someone at all times was blissful.
While the two were talking, Yolanda’s side was in a mess.
As she drove to the hotel, she kept thinking about Macos’ confession and unconsciously revealed a comforting, smug smile.
When she got out of the car, she saw Jaime waiting for her at the hotel entrance and rushed over, wanting to hug him.
As it turned out, Jaime pushed him away before her fingers could get near him.
He looked at her with an expressionless face and said sarcastically:
-Do you look happy about Macos’ confession?
At these words, Yolanda froze and quickly pulled herself together, smiling and hugging Jaime.
-Are you jealous? How could I be happy about this.
Jaime looked down at the woman in his arms.
He didn’t have much affection for her to be jealous. But they had made love many times long ago, and in his heart, she belonged only to him.
He would not allow her to think of another man, not even for a second.
Yolanda explained:
-I’m glad Macos won’t let Albina handle any company business.
Jaime looked at her and frowned:
-Are you sure this is true?
