Eric paused and stroked his chin:
-This is possible. Her performance this year are exceptional, she was the first of the GarzaBlanca show, she did the charity work, and yesterday’s show is also good….
Alba became a little worried, but Eric continued:
-But the judges’ requirement is to have been in the industry long enough, and she, should not be selected.
Alba sighed in relief as Micaela calmed her down:
-Even if she goes as a judge, I’m not afraid. She wouldn’t be the only one.
Eric looked at Micaela with appreciation for her confidence.
-By the way, Mr. Eric, how is it going with Director Mastache?
“How can I let Alba know that this is something Ernesto made especially for her?”
-That old guy has been banned from the industry! Fortunately, the company’s models rallied and spoke up in time, causing little impact. In addition, the company took a timely action, which rectified the discipline, in turn, they gave themselves another good publicity -Eric replied.
-Why was this news discovered all of a sudden? -asked Micaela.
Eric was also a bit puzzled:
-I’m not sure. Probably, it offended someone?

In Ernesto’s office.
-President, there are two people who want to see you, threatening that they have secrets about you.
The assistant respectfully said to Ernesto.
“Secrets?”
“What is my secret, could there be an illegitimate child?”
-Tell them to get lost!
-It’s about you and your girlfriend.
The assistant was also a bit puzzled because the two kept pestering the receptionist and had no choice but to call to report.
“Our president hasn’t flirted with women in a while, where does his girlfriend come from?”
-Tell them to come upstairs.
“Could it be that president has a girlfriend?”
The two men immediately approached, examining the luxurious office.
“It seems right to go to him. He’s so rich he’ll surely buy the exclusive.”
Ernesto frowned and appraised the two men.
“These two look like bums, what secrets they know about me!”
He felt so crazy, just hearing about his girlfriend, he automatically thought of Alba. Thinking of her, he cared a lot about her.
Ernesto put down his pen, stood up, rubbed his fist, and said with an intimidating expression:
-You’d better have some valuable news, otherwise you’re going to end badly!
Everyone could feel his anger.
Then one of them directly handed him the screen on the phone:
-Mr. Mancebo, you seem to be quite precious with your girlfriend, so you must not want this to blow up and disturb your peace of mind…..
Ernesto picked it up, and looked at the pictures on the phone one by one….
Those two people saw his astonished look, they became very happy:
-As the successor of Grupo Mancebo, and the president of Solnaciente, your status is so noble. If the relationship with an unknown woman is announced, it will certainly bring trouble to your life, you may also encounter forced marriage, or some lady is in love with you find trouble with this beauty…..
Ernesto looked doubtfully at the man who talked so much.
“This guy has read too many romance novels, hasn’t he?”
He pressed the inside line, signaling his assistant to come in.
Those two people sensed that Ernesto’s reaction didn’t seem right!
Hastily, they said:
-We have made a copy of these photos, if we don’t come back safe and sound, it will be automatically sent to all the major websites, and to the reporters?
Ernesto nodded with an excited look:
-All right, please do what you have planned!
When the assistant came in, Ernesto immediately ordered:
-Find some entertainment companies, newspapers, and the contact information of famous websites to give him this exclusive news. Make sure the whole city knows about it!
They were both completely stunned….

At night, in Barrio Fanslan.
Micaela was preparing dinner, while Alba was playing with her iPad.
When she flipped through the Facebook home page, she saw the first of the search was still Micaela, only this headline….
“Micaela’s assistant is in love! Her boyfriend is the successor of Grupo Mancebo!”
“Micaela’s assistant? You mean me?”
“Grupo Mancebo’s successor?”
“Ernesto?”
-Madre mia mia!
Alba shrieked and quickly opened that news item.
The photos were especially numerous and clear, taken the night before since Carlos and Micaela had left:
She tugged Ernesto’s sleeve to move forward;
Ernesto hugged her;
Ernesto kissed her;
And they walked to the car…
Alba stood in disbelief and looked at the comments below. Everyone was sending good wishes, saying the two were a good couple….
And all the other apps had pushed this news.
Oh my God!
So she called Ernesto, and was soon connected:
-Ernesto, do you know you’re on the news?
The voice on the other end of the line had no problem.
-What’s strange? A few days ago I also appeared on the news?
Alba was a little anxious:
-No! What’s being reported today is what happened to us last night….. Hey, go read it, you better squash the damn news right now!
Ernesto falsely accepted her and hung up the phone.
“The damn news?”
“Trying to get rid of me?”
“No way!”
When Micaela came out with the dishes, she saw Alba and asked:
-What’s wrong with you?
Alba wanted to say something, but handed her the iPad.
Micaela felt doubt.
“I’m not sure if this is some kind of unexplained news…”
Looking at the pictures, Micaela looked startled and looked at her friend. Then she continued browsing:
-Alba, your relationship has been so close…..
At this moment, the door opened and it was Carlos who had returned, followed by Ernesto!
