The interaction between the two was natural and intimate, without a hint of weirdness.
Albina smiled happily after being kissed, like a mouse that had stolen the cheese.
Macos was envious of Umberto, who seemed so indifferent, but knew well how to make his wife happy.
He also wanted to kiss Ariana, as he had done yesterday in the hospital parking lot.
Ariana saw Macos give her a wolf-like look and pushed his cheek.
-Keep eating, don’t think about this nonsense. Come with me later to school, I’m going to resign.
Macos saw her shy demeanor and her pink face that added a little more softness to her beautiful face, it gave him a flutter in his heart.
When he finished eating, Ariana talked to Albina for a while and then left with him.
The two of them went straight to the school and Ariana cut to the chase and handed in her resignation.
She didn’t have a staff, so she didn’t have to apply thirty days in advance.
After saying her departure, the principal kept talking about pity and her talent, but his actions were not at all ambiguous, helping her through the formalities.
It seemed that yesterday’s incident had a bad impact on the school and her presence was a headache for the school.
Ariana’s mother was still good at making trouble, and if Ariana really cared about the job, she would have collapsed inside.
Her mother had always been good at getting her into trouble and had never cared about her, not caring about Ariana’s future career as long as she could achieve her goals.
Ariana laughed sarcastically as she left the principal’s office.
Macos had been waiting for her outside, and when he saw her leave, he approached her with a frown.
-What’s the matter, did he give you a hard time?
Macos was going to get the staff in trouble.
Ariana pulled him close, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her forehead on his chest.
-No, I’ve quit my job and no one’s going to get me in trouble. I just remembered something -his voice showed concern-. Macos, you won’t treat me badly in the future, will you?
Ariana had decided that this was the last time she would fall in love, and if it didn’t end well, she would be single for the rest of her life and never trust in love again.
With friends like Albina, that was enough.
Noticing her uneasiness, Macos wrapped one hand around her waist, while the other tenderly stroked her long, soft hair, as if smoothing her own cat’s fur.
-I will treat you well for the rest of my life. If you are afraid, I can write you a certificate and get a lawyer to notarize it. If I treat you badly, the company I set up on my own and all my possessions will be yours. Then you can use my money to support many animals and live your ideal life, you will lose nothing!
At first the words were serious, but then, nonsense.
Ariana hit him in the chest, annoyed.
-Nonsense.
But after this joke, she was inexplicably in a better mood.
She lifted her chin and showed an arrogant expression.
-Not now, since we’re just sweethearts. When we get married, I’ll make you write a promise that, if you dare cheat on me, I’ll throw you out of the house and bring all your bad history to light, so that you’ll be ashamed of yourself for the rest of your life.
-So cruel.
Macos smiled as he took her by the shoulders and led her outside.
-Women are so scary. One such horrible woman is enough, I can’t afford two.
Ariana couldn’t help but laugh at his words.
She found that after being with Macos, she could laugh many times a day and was always in a good mood.
Ariana suddenly remembered a saying.
If by being with that person you are happier and more cheerful than when you are alone. Then the relationship is worth it.
If you are together and you feel it is torture, then there is no point in being together, wouldn’t it be better to be free and be alone?
The same goes for marriage, but when you are married, everyone has other responsibilities, plus, you need to worry about the kids, so you just can’t do things the way you want.
Ariana, however, had no such worries.
She wouldn’t cheat on Macos, but if he did, she would keep the kids and the money, and leave him.
After the two drove away, Santiago walked out the school door, looked at the distant car, and after a moment of silence, tossed the gift in his hand into the wastebasket.
Before he could take a few steps, a female voice came from behind him.
-Sir, please wait.
Santiago turned impatiently.
-What is it?
The girl who called him was wearing a long dress, had long, curly brown hair, was fair-skinned, and had a light smile. She must have been a student at the faculty of fine arts.
But Santiago was in no mood to know who she was. According to his experiences, it was possible that this girl wanted to approach him with the intention of getting power or money.
-Tell me.
His tone was irritable and lacked patience.
The girl’s smile faded instantly and her whole person emanated indifference.
-I just want to remind you to take what you have thrown away, since you have not done the garbage classification.
Santiago didn’t expect the girl to say those words to him and was dumbfounded.
“Trash sorting?”
He looked at the gift he had stuffed messily down the mouth of the garbage can and was silent for a moment.
He was so annoyed that he had forgotten about the garbage sorting, but he was embarrassed by the indifferent look the girl was giving him.
He resumed the present angrily.
-Are you satisfied now?
The girl gave him a cold look.
-It’s not a question of whether I’m satisfied or not, but of what you should do. I hope you pay attention next time, or you will be fined.
Santiago was not short of money and when he was about to say it, the girl interrupted him again:
-I know you don’t lack money, but you should know how to be ashamed.
Santiago had nothing more to say and he really could not accept to be made fun of.
The girl finished, glanced at him and turned around in the direction of the school.
Santiago took the gift and looked at the girl’s back, gritting his teeth.
This girl was young, but with a big temper. Young people were not easy to provoke these days!
