Alba stepped in front of the car, gritted her teeth and climbed into the driver’s seat.
Ernesto suddenly turned to Micaela and said:
-Micaela, thanks to you. His whereabouts will not be communicated to us, if you had not informed me in time, I would not know when I would have found out that Carlos had returned to Salamentro.
Ernesto had located his car in Salamentro through Carlos’ location.
-His grandfather is very controlling, and Carlos didn’t want to be at his mercy before he split from Grupo Aguayo in Salamentro and came to Teladia. But why he returned to Salamentro yesterday, I don’t know. I can’t be in contact with Tomas either. I guess everyone is trapped by his grandfather. I will go to Salamentro with Leonardo to see if I can help them.
Controlled by grandfather?
Micaela was surprised!
-Don’t worry Micaela, he won’t hurt them.
Micaela calmed down a little and nodded to Ernesto.
Alba buckled her seat belt, Ernesto climbed into the front passenger seat and Micaela also climbed into the back seat.
-Alba, come on, you can do it! -Micaela encouraged Alba.
Ernesto sat on the side and also said:
-Actually, you are still very skilled at driving, you were just scared that day, you have to break that barrier, ok?
Alba saw the serious look on his face, and she thought it was quite striking. Looking at that crystal ball ornament in front of her, she took a deep breath and started the car….
The car drove smoothly, the fear was slowly fading away and more caution was taken when a car passed by.
-Very good, you have learned from your mistakes,” Ernesto turned to say with Micaela behind him.
-. Micaela, congratulations, yesterday’s performance was great.
Micaela smiled slightly:
-Thank you.
Without seeing Carlos, or hearing his voice, she still felt a faint uneasiness.
“What kind of person was Carlos’ grandfather?”
“Could it be that Carlos, Tomas and Diego’s phones had been removed by the grandfather?”
“Why does he want to check on the two brothers?”
Alba drove the car to Brillantella, and before Ernesto got out of the car, she explained to them:
-Be careful when you drive. Micaela, even if Carlos is not in Teladia, there are always people to protect you. You shouldn’t be too nervous.
They both nodded in agreement.
The three of them got out of the car and Leonardo approached, then Ernesto got into his car and drove off.
Only then did Alba remember that she hadn’t told Micaela what she was doing at Brillantella on her day off.
-Last night Eric said to come by this morning to confirm the autographs, and his signed photos will be on sale this afternoon?
-On sale? -Micaela was a little curious.
Alba also stopped in her tracks:
-Do you want to give it away for nothing? Do you know how many photos have been washed? Tens of millions of them. If I signed them manually, it would break your hand. So the plan is to print them directly on the photos, which would cost even more.
Micaela went with Alba to Eric’s office.
Eric had also just arrived and immediately came over.
-Micaela, what punctuality!
He handed her some sheets of paper:
-This is a signature designed by a calligrapher. Choose an easier one that you like. When you have practiced it, your signature will be quick and beautiful!
Then Micaela chose one. Eric smiled and said:
-All right, I like this typeface better, too….
-Mr. Eric, if the company doesn’t want to pay for the autographed photo, deduct it from my earnings.
Alba looked at Micaela in surprise. “You really give them away?”
Eric looked at her, pulled out his phone and asked after a long moment:
-What did you just say?
They were both surprised – why did Eric suddenly become serious?
But Micaela repeated carefully:
-What I mean is that I will personally pay for the production of my autographed photo, which will be deducted from my appearance fees or other income. Many fans spent a lot of money to see yesterday’s show. They like me very much and support me, so I will give it to them for free.
-Wow, Micaela, if you spoil your fans like this, they will be spoiled by you! -said Alba.
Micaela smiled faintly:
-None of my achievements can be accomplished without the support of my fans. What do I care to do about it. Well, print it out first so I can give it to my fans as a gift…..
-Well done! -Eric shouted, holding up his phone. And then show them both the recorded video- -Micaela, your actions will definitely make the fans like it a lot!
Eric posted the video on Facebook and it immediately caused a huge stir and everyone rushed to retweet it.
After signing and practicing for a while, Micaela gave Eric the final version, and immediately ordered it to be printed.
Only then did he tell Micaela:
-Your next schedule is to shoot a promotional ad for a brand, so when you’re done with graduation tomorrow, we’ll have our work cut out for us!
Micaela nodded earnestly.
-Your status is different now. If you go to college, it would cause a stir, but if you don’t go, you’re afraid it will affect your image, so the company thinks it’s better if you go. Be more careful and pay attention to security.
-Don’t worry, I’ll protect her,” said Alba.
Eric looked at Alba with a bit of admiration:
-Of course I’m relieved you’re here, Alba, you’re very good too! -Eric said sincerely.
Carlos had picked out some of the impeccable contracts for Micaela to choose from, but the three that Alba chose from them were the best, with characteristics of being lucrative, secure, with a clear intention and a not too long working period.
Alba smiled without modesty:
-Sure, I could even enter the film industry in the future and become a wonderful agent!
Micaela knew Alba was joking. That was not her dream.
-Enjoy the two days off, see you later!
Eric left for a meeting with company executives.
Alba also left with Micaela, driving.
As Micaela looked unhappy, Alba took her to the orphanage.
