Micaela looked surprised:
-What?
Carlos kept dropping bombshells:
-Leonardo saw Ernesto taking Alba to the hotel.
Micaela sucked in a breath of air.
“How is it possible…? The two had only met a couple of times, and every time they saw each other they argued, but taking Alba to a hotel?”
Micaela thought about her own experience.
“Alba and Ernesto were drinking at the bar when I called last night, could it be…?”
Micaela covered her mouth violently and looked at Carlos in horror….
Carlos laughed at her reaction, rubbed her head and said:
-Tontita, don’t think so much. Ernesto is not that bad, I just wanted to tell you that my help is not necessary, they have their destiny.
Micaela let go of his hand and sighed in relief.
“I’ll have to ask Alba later!”
The car stopped at that moment and Carlos got out first, followed by Micaela.
Micaela looked at the five-star hotel in front of her and then saw Alba’s car arrive, with Ernesto as the driver!
Diego and Carlos confirmed the time and left with the driver.
Seeing that they had also arrived, Carlos took Micaela’s hand directly towards the hotel. Micaela turned around and was relieved to see that Alba and Ernesto had followed her together.
Only when she entered the private room did she realize that Leonardo and Olivia were already sitting there.
-Micaela, come on, give me your signature, when you become a supermodel, your signature will be worth a lot of money -Olivia pretended to take out a pen and paper, causing everyone to laugh.
Olivia pulled Micaela straight to her right, Carlos naturally sat to Micaela’s right and Olivia had her boyfriend Leonardo to her left, so once again Alba sat with Ernesto.
Micaela noticed that Alba was looking a little strange….
“Is it possible that Alba and Ernesto are really together?”
In fact, Alba and Ernesto looked so good together that Micaela couldn’t help but think that they might have been a couple if the first time meeting hadn’t been so strange.
Everyone arrived and the waiters soon began serving the food. When lunch was almost finished, Carlos dismissed all the wait staff as well.
Only when there were no more strangers in the room did Carlos speak:
-Miss Gilabert, have you offended anyone in the past that has made that person want to kill you?
Carlos’ question surprised everyone.
Ernesto’s brow was also slightly furrowed.
“If Alba really is the target, and it didn’t work the first time, it was inevitable that there would be a second…”
Alba and Micaela were puzzled.
Ernesto opened his mouth:
-Last night’s car accident was not an accident, it was provoked by the man.
“Car accident?”
Micaela looked at her friend:
-Alba, what car accident? -What happened?
Alba couldn’t help but remember the terrifying moments of the night before, and it was Ernesto who finally gave a brief description of what happened yesterday.
Alba frowned, thoughtfully.
“It’s true that I offended a lot of people when I was studying because I’m direct and I don’t hold my tongue, and there are definitely people who hate me, but not so much that they want to kill me, right?”
-Alba may be direct, but she hasn’t had any very serious run-ins with people, could this incident be my fault?
Micaela said with a bit of remorse, she thought it was more likely that this was directed at her, the thing is that she wasn’t in the car….
Carlos took her hand between his and looked at Leonardo.
-Leonardo, are you in contact with your uncle?
Leonardo nodded. He had also suspected his uncle, specifically his cousin Amelia, but he immediately dismissed the idea:
-Yes they went to Provincia Zyalen. Yesterday I overheard my mother talking to him on the phone and he’s really sorry and shouldn’t have done something like that. Besides, now he doesn’t have the money to buy an assassination to kill someone.
Carlos nodded and looked at Micaela, his voice softened a little:
-As for Adriana and Ivanna, the ones you had conflicts with, I’ve sent someone to investigate them thoroughly and they are not suspects.
“So, maybe it was really directed at Alba?”
Ernesto became more than a little worried and looked at Alba, saying with some urgency:
-Look, violent girl, not everyone is as gentlemanly as me, you have to change that temper of yours or you will lose your life if you are not careful!
He spoke in exactly the same tone as when he had been arguing with Alba.
It was a shock to everyone to realize that the meal was so quiet because the two of them weren’t arguing!
Even Alba had been made uncomfortable by the quiet Ernesto.
Now that she heard Ernesto’s usual tone, Alba, whose mood had been rather subdued, said indifferently:
-Hmph, don’t let him find that man or I’ll beat him up!
-Will you stop trying to be a hero, if you were so strong, you’d be kissed by me this morning?
The crowd sucked in a breath of cold air.
“What kind of powerful content is this?”
Alba stood up, forgetting that there were other people around.
She looked at Ernesto and exclaimed:
-What are you so proud of? I’ll take that as a puppy bite.
-You can’t even push a puppy, and you want to hit the man who tried to kill you?
Alba choked on her words for a long time before she said.
-I haven’t eaten, that’s why I haven’t had the strength!
Seeing Alba’s stubbornness, Ernesto became furious and grabbed her hand.
-Now that you have eaten, try to push me away!
And with that he took Alba in his arms and prepared to kiss her….
-Ernesto, you’re crazy!
Leonardo pushed Ernesto away while Olivia and Micaela rushed to push Alba away as well.
-What do you want? You want to go out with a slap mark on your face every day, don’t you?
“Too bad, it’s only a tiny bit of distance away that I can kiss her….”
Ernesto’s mind was filled with those words and those of his best friend.
Surely, he was very angry to know how little Alba took his safety seriously….
Leonardo put his arms around Ernesto and pulled away, saying:
-Ernesto, even if you want to change your taste, you have to be careful with your own life, you definitely can’t beat it, it definitely looks like it’s been trained!
“Change your taste?”
Alba had almost forgotten that this man was a bastard, a scoundrel, a scum.
