Umberto raised his eyebrows, when Saul said this, he already knew what was going on.
He could guess what Jaime wanted to do.
Ruben frowned when he heard this and looked at Umberto. If he didn’t know Saul knew Jaime, it was just a job, anyway, Grupo Santangel was always hiring.
But now they knew Saul was involved with Jaime, and they didn’t know what bad things he would do if he was hired.
Umberto thought for a while before nodding.
-It’s not impossible, but it can only be an ordinary job. After all, even though I’m in charge of the Santangel Group, it would be extremely irresponsible to appoint a supervisor at will.
Seeing that I agreed, Saul was pleased and nodded hurriedly.
-No problem.
-All right,” Umberto turned to Ruben. Take him to see which apartment is right for him tomorrow.
By the time he said that, the matter was settled. Saul was excited and pondered his next plan.
Umberto secretly caught all his expressions and when Saul looked at him, he stood up and said:
-Since things have been settled, I won’t stay long. I’ll see you tomorrow at the office.
-Okay, Mr. Santangel, I’ll see you tomorrow at the office.
He had a tone of unconscious flattery, and was stunned after he spoke. He straightened up hurriedly, coughed slightly, and pretended to be calm.
-Okay, see you tomorrow.
Umberto pretended not to notice the scene and left with Ruben.
After Umberto left, Saul calmed down. After Jaime’s special training, he could already maintain his imposing presence in front of the others, but when he was in front of Umberto, he always felt a lot of pressure and was constantly worried about showing his fear.
Ruben followed Umberto and didn’t speak the whole way.
Until he came down the stairs, he finally said:
-Mr. Santangel, I finally know why he didn’t like Saul from the beginning.
With a complicated expression, he remembered Saul’s sycophantic expression and said:
-His sycophantic look is too discerning of the image he usually builds up of not being fond of fame and fortune.
Umberto raised an eyebrow. From the beginning he felt Saul was a hypocrite.
-He’s gotten the Santangel Group job and should be contacting Jaime in the next few days. Keep an eye on his movements and report anything unusual to me as soon as possible,” he told Ruben casually.
Ruben immediately became serious.
-Understood!
Seeing Umberto open the car door, Ruben said:
-Are you coming back?
Umberto shook his head, smiling softly.
-No.
He was going to look for Albina, he didn’t know what her situation was now and whether she had made up her mind or not.
When Ruben saw his smile, he stopped asking, who else could make Umberto show this expression!
After saying goodbye, Umberto headed straight to the building Albina had mentioned yesterday.
On his way up, he even bought his favorite drink.
When he arrived, he heard Albina’s laughter and the sound of her arguing with Olivia before he entered.
Umberto smiled and walked over, indeed he saw the two of them pointing to a room and making plans.
-Albina, you can keep the cloths in here. It is cool and dry, so it is quite suitable.
Albina nodded, listening and noting what he was telling her.
-What do you think of this place, is it suitable for your personal study?
Umberto’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Olivia and Albina were so absorbed in their thoughts that they were startled by the sudden sound.
Albina was fine, but Olivia slapped her chest exaggeratedly and stared at Umberto.
-Why are you walking so quietly? You scared the hell out of me.
Umberto was silent for a moment, handing them the drinks in his hands.
Olivia was pleased to see the refreshing drink.
-I was really a little thirsty, the drink has come at the right time.
When she finished speaking, she looked at Umberto who was helping Albina place the straw.
Albina was holding something in both hands, so Umberto held the drink and leaned close to Albina, slightly raising his hand and giving her a drink.
Olivia was very surprised.
“Is he really my indifferent son? When did he become so sweet? He never did these things before.”
But seeing the two of them getting along so well, the drink Olivia was sipping was even sweeter.
It seemed that the move to accept Albina into the Santangel Family was a good one, and now they had family harmony and their son wasn’t as indifferent as before.
He believed there would soon be a new member of the family.
Umberto gave Albina a drink as he listened to her talk excitedly about the decorating arrangements she and Olivia had discussed.
He listened attentively, adding his suggestions from time to time.
Umberto had been running the Santangel Group for so long that he was very experienced. Whenever he pointed out an area that needed improvement, Albina would get so excited that she wouldn’t even sip her drink and stare at him.
This look of hers made Umberto feel happy, so he said a lot more.
Only when all the problems were gone, Albina closed her notebook, took him by the arm and said to Olivia:
-Aunt, we have finished the planning and I will have someone start the renovations tomorrow. After that, I will hire more staff and finish the certificates that need to be done, after which we can get the business up and running.
Olivia nodded, and there was a vague excitement on her face.
Although she had properties in her own name, she had hired professional managers because she was not good at managing them.
This was the first time she had been personally involved, starting a business from scratch, and she was definitely excited.
She had also seen the wonders Albina’s designs brought, and she had full confidence in her. Maybe they would be successful in the future.
Umberto smiled as he watched them walking in front of him, his eyes full of indulgence.
The Santangel Family had the strength and capital to let Albina do whatever she wanted. For the first few years, they had hurt her, so in the rest of her life, they would give her everything to pamper and love her.
As if sensing his deep gaze, Albina suddenly turned and was stunned for a moment as she met Umberto’s eyes, especially because of the strong affection in them.
Then, a beautiful smile appeared her face, her good features seemed to have suddenly brightened.
They had stepped out of the slightly dark hallway, and the sunlight was coming in through the glass of the wall and illuminating it, giving it a very pure and beautiful look.
Before Umberto could finish admiring it, Albina said:
-Come quickly, Olivia said to go shopping, and you will accompany us to carry the things.
The thoughts in her mind suddenly stopped, and Umberto’s expression froze.
Albina’s words were as if a goddess suddenly fell from paradise, a return to reality from a beautiful fantasy.
But Umberto was very pleased, he walked quickly to her side, took her small, slightly cool hand.
It was summer now and very warm outside, but it was a little chilly in the mall.
Once Olivia entered the mall, she started shopping like a queen who entered her territory.
Albina was a woman too, and she liked to shop. Before, she had never been encouraged to go shopping because she had to help her parents get even, but now she was much more relaxed.
They were soon doing a lot of shopping, and Umberto was carrying all kinds of bags in his hands.
He could only accompany them as long as he let someone take things to the Santangel Family.
Olivia had never shopped so freely.
When she was younger, she was surrounded by hypocritical friends who liked to compare themselves, and every time she went shopping it was like a war.
After she married Daniel, both Daniel and Umberto didn’t go shopping with her, and each time they had new products delivered directly to the Santangel Family.
Although she could get the latest models before everyone else, the pleasure of rummaging through the mall and shopping was out of her reach.
Now Albina was accompanying her and Olivia was so excited that it looked like she was dressing up a doll, buying things for her and enjoying herself.
At first, Albina was quite excited, but two hours later, she felt tired. She sat with Umberto in the sitting area, and watched Olivia happily trying on clothes one after another.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Although they were a little tired, it was worth it to see Olivia so happy.
Umberto took out a tissue and helped her wipe the sweat from her forehead, and was about to whisper to her when he suddenly heard a cheerful female voice behind him.
-Jaime, the clothes in this store are very nice. The designs are very special.
