Hector stared at Diana’s back, clenched his fists tightly and turned to Albina.
-Albina, don’t believe Diana. She’s not that nice and probably just wants to make fun of you.
As he finished speaking, he leaned closer to Albina and softened his voice.
-I suspect that the destruction of the dress was also her doing.
Albina looked at him with a smile.
-Brother, don’t worry, I won’t pin my hopes on her. Let’s put this matter aside for now, we’ll take our time to investigate after the party. The problem now is how to arrange my dress for tonight.
Hector nodded and took his phone out of his pocket.
-You’re right. Give me your measurements and I’ll find a dress for you right now,” he said as he headed outside, ready to communicate with his mother.
“Mom is a woman too and should be able to do better than me.”
Before he could take two steps, Umberto grabbed his arm.
-Wait a moment.
Hector glanced at her unconcerned look and his face went cold.
-What’s the matter with you? Albina’s dress is ruined, why aren’t you anxious? What displeasure would Albina get if tonight they start laughing at her…?
Umberto interrupted him before he finished speaking.
-You’re so full of shit, of course I stopped you for a reason.
After his words, he looked at Albina.
-Don’t you see that Albina is not anxious at all now? She should have a plan in mind by now.
Hector snorted and looked at Albina, who smiled and winked at him.
-Have you forgotten what my job is?
Hector suddenly remembered that Albina was a designer and that her profession was to deal with this kind of crisis. It would be better to take care of this matter herself than to call anyone else.
-Bring here a pair of scissors and some silver silk thread. You two unfold the skirt and tighten the fabric.
Albina’s eyes were confident, her voice was calm and her aura instantly became powerful.
The maid hurried to do as she was told and prepared the things she asked.
Albina glanced at her dressing table, chose a pearl necklace, cut the thread, threaded the needle and started working on the cut part of the dress.
Fortunately, the culprit was so nervous that he hadn’t cut and broken many pieces, so there should be time to repair them now.
Alina was very serious, her expression was concentrated and she seemed to radiate light.
Not to mention the maids around the room, Hector was also flabbergasted. But then his face softened a little and his gaze focused on his sister.
-It’s the first time I’ve seen Albina work and it’s really great,” he whispered to Umberto beside him. For as long as I can remember, she was a cute little girl and in the blink of an eye she has become such a dazzling woman. My parents and I have missed so many opportunities to watch her grow up.
Hector’s voice was full of regret and his eyes had a misplaced look in them.
On the other hand, Umberto’s eyes were full of pride.
-Albina has always been excellent.
They both had the same person in their eyes and simply could not look away.
It wasn’t until Albina finally cut the silver thread in her hand that she wiped the sweat from her face and turned to the two men with a smile so beautiful it was blinding.
-I’ve fixed it, look.
The two men were very confident with Albina and only looked at her to inform her that it was almost time to hastily put on her dress and have her hair done by the make-up artist.
While she was getting ready, Umberto and Hector waited at the door.
Only a few minutes before the party started, Diana arrived late with a few dresses in her arms.
She gasped and made an effort to hold the dresses with a delicate and cheerful smile.
-Hector, Mr. Santangel, I have finally found some dresses that fit Albina. They are all loose in the waist and should fit her well.
Diana tried to burst inside, but the two men blocked her way.
Diana froze and said anxiously:
-The party starts in a few minutes, how can I give Albina my dress if they won’t let me in? If we delay and keep the guests waiting, everyone will have a bad impression of Albina.
Hector scoffed as Diana spoke as if she really cared about Albina, and if someone who didn’t know her better had heard her, they would have thought that person was the incarnation of an angel.
-No, Albina doesn’t need it, her dress is already fixed. Hurry down, the people from the Romero family should already be here, you’d better stay with your future in-laws and your husband.
-But…
Diana was about to say something when suddenly she heard a voice behind her.
-Diana, what are you doing here? The party is about to start.
Diana turned her head and saw that the visitor was none other than Javier.
-Javier, you’re just in time,” Diana felt a little aggrieved. Albina’s dress broke, and as she is pregnant, many of the dresses don’t fit her very well, so I managed to find some loose dresses and tried to take them to Albina, but neither Hector nor Mr. Santangel let me in.
She looked pitiful, her eyes downcast with tears and her shoulders slightly shaking.
Javier smiled and took pity on her, put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the two men at the door:
-Hector, Mr. Santangel, Diana means well, so there must be some misunderstanding in the middle of this. Now the party is urgent, hurry up and ask Diana to send the dresses, otherwise, the delay of the party won’t look good for Albina…..
-You are very strange -Umberto looked at Diana and suddenly took the floor- -Didn’t Hector just tell you that the problem with Albina’s dress was solved and that she is changing inside? Why do you still insist on coming in? I can’t understand it.
Hector also began to speak.
-I am also very confused. Diana, if you really want to help Albina or if you have other plans, you should know very well yourself.
Diana’s eyes fluttered and her voice rose delicately.
-How is it possible for the matter of the dress to be resolved so quickly in such a short time? -I have many styles here, so there should be something for Albina.
Javier took her arm and whispered in her ear:
-One of them is Albina’s real brother and the other is her husband, if they say it’s fixed, it’s because it must be. They can’t hurt Albina, why don’t we go down first?
Hector smiled.
-It’s Javier who knows how to be polite.
Diana looked at Javier with indignation and resentment.
“Why does this man always sabotage my plans?”
She was about to say something when suddenly the door behind the two of them opened.
