-Yes, I’ve already contacted the university, to avoid unnecessary problems. After you do what you have to do and have your group photo taken, you can come back early.
Micaela looked at Alba with gratitude:
-Thank you a thousand times over!
“Did I promise anyone that I would attend the evening meeting?”
“Okay, I don’t remember.”
When she returned to her room, she washed up, lay down on the bed, and called Carlos again, but no one answered. She felt even more uneasy.
Suddenly she remembered that Alba had called Diego’s number, perhaps she had saved his number.
She hurried to the next door and entered without knocking, hearing Alba speak on the phone in a harsh tone:
-If you’re sick, you need to go to the hospital.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
-What’s wrong? Alba?
-Nothing, a psychopath, don’t listen to him! Why do you want to see me?
Micaela didn’t think much about it and immediately asked:
-Do you have Diego’s phone number?
Alba gasped and asked in turn:
-Haven’t you gotten in touch yet?
Alba also felt uneasy, and immediately found Diego’s number, and dialed it. However, no one answered.
How strange!
-I’ll go back to Nyisrenda and take a look,” said Micaela and was about to leave.
Alba stopped her and said:
-Don’t get your hopes up. He may have been delayed by something very important. Don’t worry, he’ll be back with you.
Micaela went back to the room, thinking she was right.
“When he arrives, but I’ll be in Nyisrenda, so he won’t be able to find me.”
With this thought, she lay down on the bed. It had been an exhausting day, and besides it was almost eleven o’clock, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
As she felt Carlos return and lie down beside her, taking her deftly in his arms, she finally felt calm….
When she woke up in the morning, she realized that she was the only one in bed.
Carlos had not returned!
She opened the door and looked down, but there was no sign of him!
And when she returned to her room, there were no messages from him on her phone, which was very unusual!
Hearing the commotion, Alba also opened the door and came out, asking:
-He’s not back?
Micaela nodded with an anxious look:
-She hasn’t contacted me either, Alba, could something have happened?
Alba took her hand and reassured her:
-Don’t worry, let me call and ask Ernesto.
The two entered Alba’s room together and she immediately called Ernesto.
It took him a while to answer, and his voice was full of sleep:
-What’s wrong?
Alba went straight to the point:
-Do you know where Carlos is? He hasn’t been back all night, nor has he contacted Micaela.
Ernesto felt a little annoyed for asking about another man, but he also knew that Micaela must be extremely anxious, so he said:
-I’ll make a phone call and ask someone from his company.
Then he hung up the phone.
Micaela went back to her room to wash up, changed her clothes and went out, but Ernesto’s call had not yet arrived. Micaela couldn’t stay still and was about to go downstairs.
-Where are you going, Micaela?
Alba changed her clothes and went out after her.
-I’m going back to Nyisrenda to have a look around.
-I’ll come with you.
The two took a cab to Nyisrenda, and on the way Alba suddenly felt a sudden pang of fear.
“What if the killer reappears?”
Fortunately, he arrived at his destination unharmed.
Alba let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at Nyisrenda’s imposing gate, it was a bit of a shock. Half of the project was owned by Familia Aguayo, and that only five villas were designed, with two more vacant so far, not for sale to the public.
Since Micaela often went to this place with Carlos, the security guard recognized her, and when he saw her returning in a cab, he deliberately drove his patrol car to take her to the entrance of Carlos’ villa.
Sofia happened to be in the front yard and was surprised to see that Micaela had returned with a woman and greeted her:
-Miss Noboa?
-Sofia, did Carlos come back last night? -asked Micaela anxiously.
Sofia was even more surprised.
-Wasn’t Mr. Aguayo with you? He didn’t come back last night.
Micaela became even more worried …
Looking at Micaela’s expression, and what she had just said, Sofia reacted instantly.
She reassured with great assurance, saying:
-Mr. Noboa, you don’t have to worry, Mr. Aguayo must have been delayed for something.
Saying this, she guided the two towards the villa.
-Mr. Aguayo has a special status, so his body, and the car are all equipped with a special positioning system. If there really is any extraordinary situation, the special department of the company will definitely know about it…..
Before Sofia could finish her sentence, Alba’s phone rang, it was Ernesto’s call.
-Tell Micaela that Carlos is in Salamentro, don’t worry about him…. Where are you?
As Micaela looked at Alba nervously, she answered Micaela first:
-Micaela, Mr. Aguayo is in Salamentro, don’t worry.
Only then she answered Ernesto:
-I’m in Nyisrenda, I just arrived.
-Okay, I’m coming.
After saying this, Ernesto hung up the phone.
“Is he in Salamentro for something urgent?”
Although still puzzled, Micaela felt slightly relieved.
Sofia had already prepared breakfast for them:
-Mrs. Noboa, the gift Mr. Aguayo prepared for you has been delivered.
-What?
-Didn’t Mr. Aguayo say yesterday morning that there was a gift for you after yesterday’s performance?
-They have already given it to me!
Sofia said directly:
-He explained to me that he had prepared a piano room for you downstairs, and the piano was delivered yesterday afternoon!
Micaela and Alba looked at each other – so he had bought two pianos at once?
After breakfast, Ernesto also came in.
-Mr. Mancebo, have you had breakfast yet? -asked Sofia.
Ernesto wanted to have breakfast here, but he didn’t have time.
He pulled Alba and only then she saw that he had come in his car.
He pushed her to the driver’s side of the car:
-Don’t be afraid anymore, you have to get over yourself.
