Albina gestured to Macos.
-That’s not necessary. Just help me finish the resignation proceedings first.
Macos listened to her and became serious.
-Are you already made up your mind?
Albina knew what Macos was worried about when he asked that so she answered with a smile.
-Yes. The Santangel Family is also very supportive.
-Good,” Macos nodded.
He had grown up in upper class circles and was aware that many families were very traditional. It was not easy for Albina, who had no background, to marry into the Santangel Family.
Fortunately, Umberto had always been very assertive and had made up his mind for Albina, so the Santangel Family had readily accepted her.
In a wealthy family, although they would not stop a woman from doing business, Albina doing a personal study and making clothes herself could be humiliating for many elders.
This was what worried Macos.
-I make my money on my own, there is no shame in that.
Albina heard his words and let out a laugh.
Macos shook his head.
-You don’t understand. They are very concerned about dignity. A large part of the customers you will face in the future may be people of this type, so you’d better prepare yourself.
The girls were more vulnerable. Some would be particularly underqualified, despite having the money to get a good education. There were even some beautiful women who spoke viciously.
Macos feared that Albina would not be able to handle this situation.
Albina listened to his explanation and smiled.
-If they didn’t have education, I wouldn’t let them bully me. Don’t worry. Mistress Santangel treated me even worse before, and I put up with it.
Before Olivia took her in, she had said all sorts of nasty things and done all sorts of hateful things. She used to put up with everything for Umberto.
But after divorcing Umberto and having nothing to worry about, Olivia was no match for her anymore.
Not to mention that she had the support of the Santangel Family. In all of Sogen City, if anyone dared to deliberately mess with her, it would do her no good.
Macos saw that she was ready and helped her quit her job very easily.
Albina was in no hurry to leave. It was lunchtime, so she sat quietly on the couch in Macos’ office and watched him pull out a large lunch box.
Albina looked at him in surprise.
-Wow, you brought your own lunch?
-Is that weird?
Albina froze and nodded.
-“It’s true I’ve never done this before, but I’ll bring it more often in the future,” said Macos, smiling smugly.
Albina was instantly interested.
-Why?
At the mention of this, Macos immediately perked up.
-Of course it has to do with Ariana!
Albina looked at him and felt uncomfortable.
-Don’t be like that.
Only then Macos explained the reason.
-Since he bought a house and renovated it, he doesn’t have much savings left. He recently planned to bring his own lunch to save money, so I took the initiative to take on the task. I told him that I’ve been practicing my cooking skills lately, but I’ve been cooking too much to eat alone, so I asked him to help me share.
Macos’ eyes seemed to sparkle as he said this.
-I’m very smart to have such a good idea.
Albina didn’t expect Macos to be so resourceful at the critical moment, and couldn’t help but nod.
-Very good.
The corners of Macos’ mouth curved up again at her affirmation.
-At first I thought I could help her so she wouldn’t have to work so hard to save money. But on second thought, I’m sure she wouldn’t take my money, so I came up with this idea.
-Now we go shopping together every day and then we cook. To some extent, it’s like living together,” he said, looking at Albina gratefully. Luckily, you reminded me to buy that house at that time so I could get closer to Ariana. I feel like she’s gotten closer to me lately.
Macos’ eyes shone brighter.
“It’s quite nice that he likes Ariana so much. If I can really attract her, it will be a good thing.”
Macos, oblivious to what was going through Albina’s mind, sighed.
-I feel so happy now that I eat the same food as Ariana every day.
As he said that, he went to heat up his food.
Albina looked at her back and sighed.
“Love is so magical.”
For a moment she remembered the first time the two had met.
Macos had a gentle temperament and an attractive face, which gave people the impression that he was a well-educated person. Now, however, out of love he had changed completely.
Albina looked in the direction of the door and let out a light laugh.
It was this type of person that suited Ariana. He could tolerate her, love her and give her affection. He could also protect her and give her security.
Macos was completely attached to how Ariana’s ideal partner should be.
Afterwards, Macos went back to his office and had lunch while he chatted with Albina about some of the knowledge he had gained from his first business venture.
This was exactly what Albina needed to know. So he listened intently, taking notes on his phone from time to time and adding his own ideas. A rough mold was slowly taking shape in her mind.
Discussing with Macos, the outline was also slowly developing.
By the time Macos finished his meal, Albina was almost done thinking.
She looked at him with a smile and praised him:
-I didn’t expect you to be not only a genius in love, but also so reliable at work.
Macos was very pleased with her praise, especially since this “genius in love” had given him immense confidence.
-Of course.
Then Albina got up from the sofa and said to him:
-I’m going to clean my work station and then I’ll leave.
Macos nodded and looked at her with a warm smile.
-Then I wish you all the best in your career.
Albina gave him a nice smile.
-Thank you.
As she left Macos’ office and returned to the design department, Albina sensed that something wasn’t right.
The atmosphere had completely changed.
