“How come it didn’t occur to me that she likes to play the piano to my sweetie, I should have bought her a piano a long time ago!”
Bianca looked at Micaela, a little surprised.
“Does she really know how to play the piano?” Didn’t Adriana tell me that she is an orphan whose parents depended on her family? Carlos mentioned Nyisrenda in the call, which is his residence, so, they are already living together, aren’t they?”
Seeing his considerate actions with Micaela, Bianca felt even more envious.
Summoning up her courage, she looked at Carlos and said:
-Carlos, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have set Micaela up. I promise I will try to leave you and forget you, but….
The man put his phone away and looked at her.
His eyes were not as obviously distant and cold as before, which gave Bianca the courage to say what she was thinking inside:
-If there were no Micaela in this world, would you choose me?
At this moment, the melodious sound of the piano rang in the foyer.
The people around listened with rapt expressions, even the journalists invited by Bianca went to take pictures of Micaela.
Carlos looked seriously at her and answered flatly:
-No.
Although Bianca had already decided to leave him to that man, she still felt a sharp pang in her heart to hear him refuse so directly.
Carlos set his gaze on Micaela, who always closed her eyes when she played the piano, enjoying herself, radiating an elegant aura.
Seeing so many people around appreciating his darling so charming, the impulse arose in Carlos to take her away from this place immediately. Her beauty belonged only to himself, but now she was in a bustling place where so many people were contemplating her.
Carlos looked away and suddenly said to Bianca:
-But I wish you could be my sister-in-law.
He paused briefly, ignoring her complicated expression, and continued:
-Not all deep loves can endure a long wait without hope. Tomas is also under family pressure, if you break his heart again, he will surrender to the family.
-What do you mean by that? -Bianca didn’t quite understand what he meant.
However, Carlos had no intention of giving her any more concrete explanations, so he got up and went to the piano.
At the end of the piece, a loud applause broke out in the crowd.
Micaela opened her eyes and saw Carlos standing next to her, she unconsciously smiled sweetly at him.
Gently, Carlos extended his hand and Micaela took his hand without further ado.
The man took her by the hand, turned around and walked outside, through the lobby. The doorman immediately opened the glass door for them, and the two got into the car and drove off in full view of everyone.
The fans, still intoxicated by the piano music they had just heard, were moved by this beautiful scene, and they were happy to be Micaela’s fans, because they all experienced that heart-pounding feeling of happiness.
Katarina again asked everyone not to post negative comments about Micaela on social media, and then she approached Tomas and said:
-Bianca didn’t drive today, so will you please take her back home, ok?
He waved Bianca goodbye and left.
Bianca got up from her seat, Tomas moved his chair aside to give way to her and said in a low voice:
-Come on, I’ll take you back.
The two left the restaurant one after the other.
Sitting in the car, Bianca took the initiative to speak:
-Tomas, I’m so sorry. What I said to you last time has gone too far.
The man started the car, gave her a light look and said:
-It’s all right. It’s in the past and I’ve forgotten about it.
“The words I said were so hurtful and rude, how could he have so easily forgotten it all? It’s just that he doesn’t want me to be sad, right?”
Thinking like that, Bianca felt even more guilty and suddenly asked:
-Are your father and grandfather forcing you to get married?
When he asked this question, Bianca felt very uncomfortable inside, and seemed to be a little suffocated.
Hearing her question, Tomas was a bit taken aback wondering:
“Will she mind?”
-Yes, they have their eyes on the daughter of the mayor of Salamentro.
-So, do you like that girl? -Bianca asked in a slightly urgent voice.
Tomas glanced at her and answered:
-The girl I like is in front of me.
Bianca was speechless, not knowing what to say for a long while.
“Can I immediately throw myself into Tomas’ arms as soon as I woke up from the broken dream in which I was blindly obsessed with Carlos?”
I couldn’t do it anyhow. She had always treated Tomas only as a good friend, and she was relaxed in front of him, feeling no pressure, but she didn’t know if she could take that feeling as love. Besides, it would be too unfair to Tomas if she considered him as Carlos’ substitute.
Besides, she still couldn’t completely leave Carlos, whom she had secretly loved for more than ten years. Bianca could not afford to accept Tomas when she had the other man in her heart. Tomas was a good boy and deserved a better girl who would treat him wholeheartedly.
Bianca looked outside through the car window, watching the scenery of the street driving away, and said slowly:
-I’m sorry…
Tomas, however, smiled, and spoke in an extremely soft tone:
-Bianca, how many times have you asked for forgiveness in the last few hours, and you still haven’t tired of doing it?
Bianca looked away and lowered her head helplessly, knowing that she was deliberately diverting the subject.
-Trapping and hurting others is not your style, so don’t do it again, understand?
Bianca blushed heavily and asked mumbling:
-What I have done is very foolish and clumsy, isn’t it?
-Yes, your so-called plan is full of loopholes. Micaela is very smart and has the ability to defuse crises. Today she wanted to come to see you alone, it is my brother, who insisted on accompanying her.
Bianca was very embarrassed and told Tomas the whole plan:
-I thought that after having taken intimate photos of her with that man, I would terminate the contract with her under the pretext that she had violated the clause of paying attention to her personal style, and I would ask her for compensation for breach of contract.
Tomas could not help but laugh out loud when he heard her words.
-Do you think Carlos would let you have the opportunity to publish a story like that?
Bianca was speechless without answering.
“Yes, according to Carlos’ character, he wouldn’t tolerate such a thing.”
-And, even if it were a breach of contract, what difference would it make? Do you think Carlos wouldn’t be able to pay the compensation? Actually, it would be better for him if Micaela had the least contact with you. My brother spoils that woman a lot.
Bianca was instantly speechless and looked out the window again.
Very soon they arrived at Bianca’s house.
The car slowly stopped in front of the front door of the villa.
Bianca unbuckled her seat belt and asked casually:
-Thanks for taking me back, do you want to have a drink at my house? My father should be home by this time?
-Bianca.
-Huh?
Bianca, who already opened the car door, unconsciously turned her head when she heard him call her name, but only saw that a handsome face came up to her unexpectedly and kissed her on the lips unexpectedly.
