When the secret was laid bare, Julio simply made no excuses and admitted it outright.
-Yes.
Yolanda’s fists clenched, holding back her anger. If Julio wasn’t her father, she would have cursed.
With this critical situation, how could this man be so oblivious to his priorities and still be thinking about women at this moment.
As if he hadn’t seen Yolanda’s expression, he gathered his things and got up to leave:
-Call me if anything happens at the company and I’ll be back to help you. Yolanda, you are my only daughter, you must adapt to the management of your own property in advance. What I do is for your further management.
It was a good excuse, but Yolanda did not try again to stop her from leaving.
This company would be hers in the future, and then thinking about Umberto’s impending revenge made her head hurt.
If the company collapsed, everything she had before would be gone. And what Albina had gone through before might be what she had to go through in the future.
After so many years of being on top, Yolanda definitely didn’t want to go through what Albina had gone through before, and just thinking about it made her panic.
The father left the company, leaving Yolanda alone.
It was already time to finish the work, so the staff left one after another, with only the public relations department remaining for overtime.
Lila kept an eye on Yolanda’s movements, and after watching her go to the PR department office, she picked up her cell phone and went to a secluded hallway, hesitating for a long time before dialing the number.
The phone took a long time to be answered, and a clear, inquisitive voice came out:
-Hello? Who is this?
As soon as Macos’ voice came out, Lila’s fingers trembled with joy and nervousness, and she was slow to calm down and say:
-It’s me!
When the voice came out, Macos was silent for a while, and then said impatiently:
-Why are you calling me?
Lila was a little sad. She knew Macos’ phone number, but instead she didn’t know who he was when she picked up the phone, and it was possible that her own number had long since been deleted.
What she didn’t know was that on the other end of the phone, Macos’ expression couldn’t have been more excited and enthusiastic.
Albina said Lila hadn’t made a move and told him to hold back.
Now that Lila’s call had finally come.
-Macos, the Carballal Group is in trouble, because Yolanda has offended the Seco family in some way, the Seco family has stopped backing Yolanda, and the Santangel Group is going to start dealing with the Carballal Group.
He told the story, then took a breath and said:
-I am in the same office as Yolanda, I see she is very anxious today, asking for help everywhere, don’t you like her very much, will you help her?
Lila finished talking and waited for Macos’ answer.
After a long time, Macos said:
-I know this matter, my family and Yolanda’s family have irreconcilable conflicts, I can’t ask my family for help, but I am personally preparing to extract funds and is trying to raise. Tell Yolanda, just say I am trying to help her, tell her not to worry.
The more Macos said, the more decadent his voice became:
-I’m useless because I can’t fight Umberto or help her like Jaime did. If the Carballal Group really falls apart, tell her I’ll still have a place for her here. Even if my family objects, I will take her in and protect her.
As he spoke to himself, Lila bit her lips to keep her emotions from expressing themselves, her eyes full of madness and vileness.
Receiving no response from Lila, Macos shouted:
-Lila, are you still listening?
Lila used a lot of force to calm her voice.
-Okay, I’m listening, I’ll pass it on.
Hearing this, Macos’ tone softened, and he even thanked her in a rare, gentle way.
But Lila’s eyes reddened as she listened. She loved Macos and had used all her tactics, but she could not get tenderness from him. And because of Yolanda, she was treated gently by him.
The more she thought about it, the more resentful she became, looking a little scary.
After hanging up the phone, Lila made up her mind not to let Yolanda have a good time.
When she returned to the office, she was thinking about something and not paying attention to anyone, so she bumped into Yolanda, who also had her mind very busy.
Yolanda’s arm hurt from the blow and she frowned, noticing that Lila’s eyes were red, she casually asked:
-What did you go out for?
Lila became nervous, thinking she had been discovered, then looked into Yolanda’s eyes and discovered that she didn’t suspect anything and was just upset. She relaxed, lowered her head and said:
-Something has happened in my family, I just made a call.
Yolanda did not take the matter to heart and only reprimanded:
-Be careful, okay?
After saying this, she hurried back to her office.
Soon after, Lila’s design department received a message from Yolanda.
The message read: in three days, Yoli would be launching new products.
As soon as this message went out, Lila’s eyes narrowed and the corners of her lips slowly curved.
After Macos hung up the phone, an expression of relief finally appeared on her face. As he could see her face, he wasn’t sure if Lila had really heard what he had said and if she would hate Yolanda even more. It wasn’t until he finally heard her gasping and gasping for breath that he could confirm it.
Lila was probably going to act soon.
Macos looked at his cell phone, thinking about his series of performances since this plan with Albina and her family was confirmed, and felt satisfied.
He thought that if he could no longer keep his company, he could still be an actor, and might even become a movie star.
But when he thought of Lila, his expression froze slightly.
After these few encounters, Macos could see that that woman loved him, and really loved him, but he could not give her the answer, after all, Macos did not like her.
In the past, when Lila was still in his company, she had offended many people, because she loved him, and Albina, almost causing a great disaster.
This kind of character, he could not like her. He likes quiet, gentle girl, preferably with the mysterious temperament.
After thinking about the women around him, the only one who fit this kind of temperament is Albina’s friend Ariana, whom he has met only once.
It was a pity that she already had relations with Santiago.
Macos sighed and then put that thought aside, thinking that when Yolanda’s company was ruined, if Lila hadn’t done anything particularly significant and unforgivable, he might well be able to save her if he could.
After all, he had used her, and while he didn’t like her, and even hated her a little, he wasn’t so heartless as to do anything wrong with her.
Macos informed Albina of Lila’s intention.
At that moment, Umberto was still at Albina’s house to help her gather her things. When Albina looked at the diligently working man, a smile appeared on her face, and she told Macos about Umberto’s plan.
When she hung up the phone, she saw Umberto with a faint, thin sweat hanging on his forehead, smiling and looking at herself
-Are you all set? -Albina asked.
Umberto gave her an annoyed look:
-I help you to clean the house, but you feel like talking to other men, don’t you want me now?
Albina said helplessly:
-This is Macos.
-What’s wrong with Macos, isn’t Macos a man?
Albina looked at the clean and tidy room, then at the beads of sweat on Umberto’s head, and sighed inwardly.
She smiled and moved closer to him, hugged his waist and rubbed her head against his arm:
-You are the real man. I love men like you who know how to do housework. Macos doesn’t know how to do anything, you’re better than him.
Praise, a very useful way to treat Umberto.
-Continue. I like nice words -Umberto lifted his chin, with a smile on his face, which looked charming.
Albina pouted, feeling that she had already chosen too much, and that it would be too false to do it anymore.
Umberto raised his eyebrows and pointed to the kitchen:
-I’ve just asked Ruben to buy cooking utensils and all kinds of vegetables you like, he’ll probably be here soon, are you sure you don’t want to go on?
Did this mean he was going to prepare dinner for her himself?
Albina was surprised, remembering Umberto’s superb culinary skills, so the longing for tasty meals appeared in her heart.
Today’s meal at Umberto’s house was not bad, after all, because it was cooked by the chef, but it always gave the feeling that something was missing. And Umberto knew his taste well, so the food would be delicious for Albina.
After a busy afternoon, Albina was very hungry.
To confirm this, she asked:
-Are you going to cook for me?
Umberto raised an eyebrow:
-Don’t you want it?
How could I not want to eat! Albina made up her mind very bravely, for Umberto’s handmade food, not to mention the compliments, even a whole play was no problem.
