She dozed for a while and was awakened by a knock on the door.
She got up and opened the door, it was Alba. She was back to her usual appearance. Somewhat relieved, Micaela thought about chatting with her sometime.
Micaela put on the tuxedo she had prepared. After putting on Micaela’s makeup, Candy also helped Alba with her makeup.
-My work is done. Have a good night!
It was okay if Candy didn’t go to the banquet.
Micaela, Eric and Alba left when the time came.
The banquet was held at a five-star hotel.
As soon as the car pulled up in front of the hotel, the journalists waiting at the entrance instantly surrounded it and took pictures madly.
The bodyguards arranged by Mr. Sarmiento escorted Micaela and led the way.
The three of them entered the hotel with the help of their bodyguards.
Although the venue was on the second floor, the first floor was also nicely decorated.
The staircase was covered with a red carpet. Alba took Micaela’s hand and said:
-Micaela, this is a previous practice for walking down the aisle!
Eric walked on the other side of the smoke and said:
-There will be numerous opportunities in the future. By the way, my dear, there will be many businessmen trying to talk to you for business gigs later, leave it all to me and Alba. It’s a mere formality, let’s leave when we can.
Micaela nodded her head.
As soon as she entered the second floor, the people in the lounge looked their way as if they had received the same indication:
The tuxedo Micaela wore was a simple beige skirt, longer in the back and just above the knees in the front. The sleeves were lace and with holes. The simple, elegant style made her look plain compared to the solemn look of the other models.
But even with such an outfit, the audience couldn’t take their eyes off her.
-Micaela is really gorgeous!
-Yes! Look at her airiness, she looks good either way!
-Is that her assistant next to her? -She’s pretty too!
***
There were several journalists who could enter the party, so at that moment, all the cameras were pointing at Micaela and Alba…
The models instantly lost the attention they were receiving, and everyone looked with deep dissatisfaction at Micaela.
This kind of banquet was, frankly, about finding business opportunities.
They were approached by some companies interested in collaborating with Brillantella:
-At last Micaela from Brillantella is coming, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time already!
-Congratulations on getting such a good grade, Micaela. It’s a pity Brillantella hired you, otherwise, I’m going to sign you anyway.
-Eric, you have a great vision, you’ve snatched an excellent talent!
With a polite smile, Micaela let the eloquent Eric treat them.
Eric would talk to them, and Alba would also stay there to supplement information.
Since any contract had to be reviewed and selected by Carlos, Micaela had nothing to worry about. She carried a small plate to pick out meals at the table, slowly moving away from the crowd. She still hadn’t had dinner…
-Wow, an ignorant rustic, she only thinks of eating at such a feast.
A voice with a sarcastic tone sounded.
Micaela looked up following the sound. It was number 3 on today’s stage.
She was wearing a purple strapless tuxedo and curly hair combed to one side. She looked very attractive. The person not far behind her talking to the others was none other than Mr. Zoido who had come to Brillantella to pick up Micaela.
With this tone of talking, obviously this person had a clear hostility….
Micaela glanced at the dress she was wearing, raised a smile, then put down the plate and fork she was holding and turned around:
-She’s coming to the banquet in a dress of the brand I promote, the “rustic”, I don’t know if you agree with my aesthetic, or do you admit to being a “rustic”?
Number 3 was speechless …
-Oh yes! Your skirt is from the brand that Micaela promoted lately, isn’t it?
A female voice sounded next to her. Micaela looked at the speaker.
It was number 9 in a light yellow tuxedo. The fine features made her look like a ceramic doll, very precious.
She was looking ironically at number 3:
-Thanks to Micaela, the clothes of this brand sell very well, and even the demand has exceeded the supply. The skirt you are wearing now is a limited edition, isn’t it? If you say that Micaela is a “rustic”, it means you are one too!
Number 3 paled slightly and didn’t continue that topic.
Remembering what she had just said, Micaela suddenly said:
-It’s normal to eat when one is hungry. there are so many meals here, no need to fight for them!
Clearly, her words were alluding to something. Number 9 reacted immediately, looked at number 3 and said:
-Valery, You pushed me backstage today and I still haven’t come for you, now you come to bother Micaela?
Well yes, number 3’s name was Valery, and number 9 was called Loli?
-Did I push you? So what? It’s okay now, isn’t it? Speaking of which, you have to thank Micaela. If I hadn’t helped you, she would have gotten the clothes, then tonight’s party would have had nothing to do with you.
Loli got very angry:
-Of course I have to thank Micaela. But don’t you think you should apologize for your action?
Valery rolled his eyes, and said unpleasantly:
-Loli, wake up, you just signed the contract with Superb leisure, how can you be on the same side as Brillantella’s people? And even call her Micaela so affectionately?
Had she been signed by Superb leisure?
Micaela felt a little pity. She looked at Valery, who doesn’t have a good face, said in a cold voice:
-Miss Valery, how can you say that? Brillantella and Superb leisure have always been good neighbors, they have supported each other to progress together. Why do you say as if the two entertainment companies have an unholy grudge?
-Oh, Micaela, are you lying with your eyes wide open?
Valery crossed his arms with a smile, as if Micaela had said something very absurd.
Looking at the journalists behind Valery, Loli called her an idiot in her mind.
-Miss Valery, you pushed Miss Loli in the fitting room today, didn’t you?
-No wonder Miss Loli has a bruise on her arm!
-It turns out that Miss Noboa helped Miss Loli in the backstage. Miss Valery, haven’t you thought about giving Miss Loli a hand then?
-What you just said seems to imply that relations between Brillantella and Superb leisure are not good, could you explain it in more detail?
Four or five journalists surrounded Valery with tape recorders in hand. The questions that came out one after another took him by surprise. Valery cast a fierce glance at Micaela and Loli.
Micaela and Loli looked at each other with a smile and walked to the side together.
-Micaela, thank you for today.
Loli said sincerely.
Micaela shook her head:
-It was my instinctive reaction? Have you signed with Superb leisure?
Loli admitted frankly:
-Yes, being a model only serves as a springboard to get into show business.
In view of her excellent impromptu reaction, Micaela believed that she possessed the ability to reach her goal.
Loli looked at Valery, who was surrounded by reporters and could not stand it any longer, said in a low voice:
-I am going to take personal revenge for the push she gave me.
Micaela smiled. Of course, eyes for eyes…
Micaela looked at Adriana who was coming from far away, thinking that the moment of revenge had come for her too…
