A little further on, Marcos and Adriana approached.
Marcos had Adriana at his side carrying his arm, but his eyes were fixed on Micaela from a short distance….
She was behaving wonderfully in today’s evaluation, her transformation was amazing, everything seemed perfect, but he could never get her back….
Mark felt a bit of bitterness, but he had to hide it deep in his heart.
The organizer was giving a speech, and after that, Micaela was the first to invite to speak.
At this moment, Alba and Eric only just realized that Micaela was no longer by their side!
Looking back, they discovered that she already walked towards the platform very confidently.
The whole room gradually calmed down, and the reporters stopped surrounding Valery and drifted to take pictures of Micaela.
Micaela smiled at everyone first, all the men present were excited in an instant and the women were envious and jealous.
Then she started more naturally to thank the organizer, the sponsor and the company, after a pause she continued saying:
-Modeling is a sector where you can discover beauty and then show it with positive energy. I hope all the models will be confident, optimistic, progressive and sincere to each other, thank you.
At once, the room sank from so much applause.
The reporters felt a little stunned as they took pictures, it seemed that her last words had implied meanings.
“Was he pointing out that someone here is a cheater?”
Suddenly they realized and looked at Valery, “isn’t she the one who did something wicked in the afternoon?”
Then several people looked at Adriana again, “This person deliberately insinuated that Micaela knew the contents of the evaluation beforehand, someone who is capable of making false accusation against her sister, isn’t she a despicable person?”
After Micaela stepped down from the dais, the person in charge of the organization spoke some more and announced the official start of the banquet.
Several reporters immediately surrounded Adriana and Valery, and asked at the same time:
-Miss Valery, what do you think about what Miss Micaela said a moment ago?
-Miss Adriana, do you know what she means by being honest with others?
…
Alba took Micaela’s hand and frowned:
-Well done, Micaela!
Micaela looked at Alba, remembered her strange reaction of the afternoon and said:
-Alba, thank you for being with me all the time, if you have something bothering you, count on me, please, I’ve been busy lately and I left you alone…..
Alba felt guilty, but she was very skillful to change the subject, catching another key point, then she said with an innocent face:
-Yes, you and Mr. Aguayo were spending all the time together, how could you know that I suffer a lot because of Ernesto’s discomfort.
Micaela was a little embarrassed, but Alba rarely took the initiative to mention about Ernesto, and immediately asked with curiosity:
-Do you really feel nothing for him? He seems to love you very much, lately he has been coming to Barrio Fanslan as a cook every day, obviously it is to get more time to spend with you.
Thoughts of the afternoon went through Alba’s mind, she intended to get Carlos’ attention. Then she got nervous, looked at Micaela, and said seriously:-You are right, then I will try to accept him, after all, he is a good cook… besides, he can’t beat me with strength, so I don’t lose anything from being with him.
Micaela was happy at first, but then she burst out laughing:
-Are you going to choose him just to cook for you?
“No, I’ll try to accept another man to stop looking at Carlos…”
Alba felt bitter inside, but on the outside she showed a smile saying:
-That bastard Ernesto probably wanted to conquer my appetite first!
Those words gave Micaela more laughter.
Seeing Adriana who finally got rid of the reporters and approached next to Marcos taking his arm, she stopped smiling.
Adriana looked at Micaela with hatred, but directed a few compliments at her:
-Sister, many congratulations on getting the certificate. By the way, why isn’t your boyfriend with you on such a special day?
At the thought of her boyfriend, Adriana became even more enraged.
“That powerful man would have easily revealed my trick, but he waited until the last moment, surely he wanted to embarrass me to the fullest.”
Fortunately, the media put their attentions on today’s model evaluation, so no one was questioning her anymore about what she said….
On the other hand, Adriana was very excited about Marcos’ coming and wanted to show Micaela how much Marcos loved her….
-Micaela’s boyfriend, naturally he doesn’t need to come in person to a small banquet, unlike someone else who can only attend in places like this one.
Alba spoke ironically.
Marcos said nothing, because he only came here to see Micaela.
He saw her perfect performance on TV, and suddenly he wanted to see her, but he had no reason to come to this place, then he thought he could accompany Adriana to participate this banquet and Micaela would surely appear there too….
Adriana was not angry, she said with a smile:
-The size of the banquet has no importance, the key is to see if he cares about you or not. Marcos loves me very much and he came here to accompany me, but your boyfriend….
Adriana took a step forward and whispered:
-He comes from an extremely rich and powerful family, he’s just playing with you. Your identity is not worthy for him.
She didn’t speak loudly, besides there was soft music around, so the other two didn’t hear what she said.
If it was before, Micaela would be bothered by this kind of satire, in fact, before she always felt inferior to Carlos, but now, this kind of comments couldn’t do her any harm anymore.
-Congratulations for finding a man who is perfect for you. As for me, it’s none of your business.
When she finished speaking, she took Alba’s hand and they went in search of Eric.
Adriana looked at Micaela’s back, suddenly became sad, looked at Marcos and said:
-Marcos, I admit it was my fault for having set traps for her, now I want to get along with her, but she does not appreciate it….
Marcos was a little surprised and excited!
“What Adriana said was true? If you two can really get along, then my relationship with Micaela won’t be so rigid…”
-Adriana, how nice that you can think like that, anyway, you two are sisters…..
Adriana gritted her teeth to hold back her anger that was about to explode….
Since he arrived, she hardly communicated with her, but when it was about Micaela, she reacted evidently!
She tried to keep her smile, took a USB flash drive out of her bag and handed it to him:
-It seems that Micaela doesn’t want to talk to me anymore, this memory stick she had it stored in her previous room, as she studies design, I thought this one could be useful for her, so can you pass it to her please? I will leave to chat with my friends.
