Because of what happened last night, Umberto went to Santiago for a drink.
Santiago arrived at the private room where the three of them frequented. When he saw Umberto sitting there with a deep look on his face, the smile on his face dropped slightly and he did not dare to say jokes in front of him.
-Well, Umberto, is Camillo still accompanying his brother for treatment recently?
Umberto raised his eyes slightly, the lights in the room were a little dim, which made his gaze look colder.
Santiago froze for a moment, Umberto had never looked at him with these eyes.
He didn’t dare say anything right away, he sat obediently across from him, lowered his head and didn’t even dare to look at him.
Although the three of them grew up together, he and Camilo had an unspoken conception that Umberto was a leader.
-Santiago, last night Ariana came to Albina. They went out all night and Ariana sent Albina back in the wee hours of the morning.
Hearing this, Santiago looked surprised and was stunned for a moment before slowly looking at Umberto.
He thought Ariana slept at home last night. When he got home today, Ariana didn’t tell him. Santiago discovered that if Ariana didn’t tell, he wouldn’t have even felt her emotions.
Was it because he didn’t pay much attention to Ariana, or was it because Ariana was so disappointed that she didn’t even show her true emotions in front of him?
-Umberto, why did he go out with Albina? Is it because of something, is it related to me?
When Santiago said this, he was very embarrassed.
Umberto nodded slowly after a long time:
-She’s in a bad mood. Albina stayed with her all night. I’m afraid it’s more serious than you think.
After finishing, he suddenly looked at Santiago:
-Remember how you promised me when you were with Ariana at first?
Santiago didn’t dare to look at him, but he couldn’t help whispering:
-I, I, I’m not with another woman, I just went out to play…..
Umberto suddenly interrupted him:
-Santiago, you are not young. Ariana is one or two years older than Albina, before you chased her, you already knew the shadow of her childhood. She didn’t trust affection, but she still wanted to be with you because you had confidence in you. But what about you, have you ever thought about giving her a future and added her to your future plans?
Santiago did not know how to respond to these words for a long time, he rubbed his hair with a little irritation and there was a little pain and annoyance on the beautiful face.
-I… I… I haven’t thought about these things, it’s too early to consider that now. We’ve only been together for over a month, but I know I like her and want to be with her in the future. … Besides, dating is better than marriage, it’s much easier. I think Ariana probably doesn’t want to get married so soon.
When Umberto heard what she said, he narrowed his eyes slightly and more or less understood her thought.
Santiago is the second son in the family, the Barrios Family never interferes in his life. Even if he chose to be a psychiatrist, they did not interfere in this. There was no restraint since he was a child, which resulted in his immaturity and capriciousness. Perhaps in his heart, he never thought about the future or planned to give his love a stable future and life.
Umberto even felt a little ironic when he thought about it. Santiago was a psychiatrist. If he wanted to observe, how could he not understand Ariana’s lack of security? He just ignored it.
-As a friend, I shouldn’t interfere in your life. But I still want to remind you that I hope you can do it yourself and don’t be like me before, you will regret it when you lose it.
After this, Umberto got up and said to Santiago:
-I have work. I will go first. You can come back if you understand.
The tall, large figure disappeared in the doorway of the room.
Santiago looked at his back and did not come to his senses for a long time. What would he regret when he lost it. The relationship between him and Ariana had always been stable, now he had realized the problem. As long as he held back a little, they could remain the same as they were in the beginning. How could they lose each other?
Besides, he could sense that Ariana really liked him and that he wouldn’t let her down. How could they have gotten to that point?
Santiago shook his head, he thought Umberto was too worried. It had to be the aftermath of Albina’s previous divorce, the leftover worry.
After Umberto left the room, thinking about Santiago’s ignorant appearance, he sighed.
He could understand why Albina was so suspicious of Santiago.
After returning to the company, Umberto saw Ruben come out of the reception room. Although he was expressionless, he could still see that his face was full of helplessness and annoyance.
-What happened? -Umberto asked.
Ruben sighed and answered:
-Sir, our company’s Facebook posted a message earlier to look for the person who rescued you from the fire.
Umberto paused in his steps, then turned to look at him:
-Is anyone here?
-Yes,” Ruben nodded, his expression indescribable. During this time, several people come here almost every day. But they expose them with only a few questions. The evidence presented is full of gaps, which is a waste of our time.
Ruben had received them during the last two days. The impostors almost angered him to death. Some of them were shameless, they asked for compensation when they arrived. It was difficult and exhausting to deal with.
Umberto frowned, since Yolanda pretended to be his savior last time, now he felt no sympathy for the imposter and was even filled with disgust.
-Post a message. If anyone pretends to be my savior, the Santangel Group will sue the impostor for fraud.
Ruben heard this, his eyes lit up, he should do it.
As soon as the news got out, who would dare to come and pretend to be Umberto’s savior?
-The waitress I met before, didn’t she witness the appearance of my savior? If someone comes again, ask her for help in identifying him.
Ruben shook his head:
-The fire scared her at the time and it’s been a long time, so she can’t remember him clearly. She can only remember the general outline and some obvious details, all of which she has told us.
Umberto nodded, not paying much attention to this matter. It had been more than ten years since this affair. After so many years, there was no news about this person, he supposed he would be hard to find.
Seeing Umberto enter the office, Ruben quickly went to the advertising department and asked them to start editing and publishing news.
He no longer wanted to receive those inexplicable liars.
***
In the suburban village of Sogen City, Jaime could not be relieved since Umberto humiliated him at the prison gate.
In particular, Umberto had completely forgotten about the previous encounter between them. His attitude of not taking him seriously made him even angrier.
But he was still trapped here by Alfredo to recover from his injuries and could not get in touch with the company’s affairs. Therefore, I could not compete with him in the commercial field.
In addition, I heard that Pedro had many advantages in the company and was very close to many shareholders, that there was a tendency to replace him.
In the last two days, Jaime’s mood had become increasingly irritable. He often became angry with his servants, even beating them up. He had completely lost his calmness and gentleness as before.
The servants all over the village did not dare to provoke him, they were careful when they worked and did not even dare to look at him.
At this moment, Jaime was looking at his phone and the latest news from the Santangel Group appeared on the screen.
This news was published, he guessed that there must have been many Umberto’s savior imposters who had come to Grupo Santangel.
Jaime stared at the screen, he remembered the images he accidentally saw many years ago.
He didn’t remember much of the man’s appearance, but he still had some impressions of his profile. He still remembered the clothes the man was wearing at the time.
Over the years, the Santangel Family had been blinded by Yolanda and had not discovered that he was also a witness back then. Except for Yolanda, no one knew that he saw Umberto being rescued.
In an instant, Jaime had an idea.
Wasn’t the Santangel Family looking for their savior back then? Then he would give Umberto a savior!
Jaime’s face showed a sinister smile.
He found a trusted servant and whispered a few words in his ear.
The servant’s eyes widened. The more he listened, the more serious his expression became. Finally, under Jaime’s gaze, he nodded awkwardly.
Seeing his bitter expression, Jaime gave him a look:
-You can’t say this to Alfredo, or I won’t let you go, you know my means.
The servant remembered those people who had been carried away with serious injuries these days, he shook his body and nodded quickly.
