Her cell phone dropped at the same time without realizing it, at this instant, the images of the moment she pushed Carlos when they were in Mangzarent Nation appeared again: She was in a dark room, her body was hot and she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck….
Finally, she could be sure that that had really happened, that person had bitten her nape very hard and caused such a heavy pain that she could never forget….
At once, she remembered again the words Alba had said to her on the following day:
-That must be your hallucination! I’ve been with you all the time, if you were really raped and bitten by that man, how could I not know and why hadn’t you told me before? Think about it, you’ve had an abundant life in the past few years, did you ever feel you had some lost memories?
Tears fell on the floor, she unconsciously started to cry….
Not knowing how much time had passed, Micaela was reacted by the ringing of her cell phone, she picked it up and saw that it was Alba calling her:
-Micaela, where are you? The bodyguard arranged by Mr. Aguayo said you still left the bathroom….
Her voice was full of concern.
She didn’t want Alba to suspect anything, she covered her cell phone, took a deep breath and tried to calm down before speaking:
-I’m already downstairs, you and Professor Eric can come down now.
As she spoke, Micaela entered through the emergency door thinking about taking the elevator to the second floor to meet them.
Alba felt something strange:
-Why did you suddenly come down alone?
-Let’s talk when you come down, I’ll wait for you on the second floor.
After talking, Micaela hung up the phone.
The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make, now the important thing was to calm down first?
Although it was difficult to understand what was happening, she did not know why she had forgotten about this matter and why Alba chose to lie to her….
She also didn’t understand why Carlos clearly saw the mark, but was pretending as if he hadn’t seen anything….
But regardless of the reason, she trusted them, who believed that lying to her was the best option.
With this conclusion, Micaela felt a little better and quickly tried to adjust her spirits. “I mustn’t cry, that’s useless.”
Since the day she knew that her parents died in a car accident and she was abandoned in an orphanage, she already knew it very well.
-Now I must be sensible and calm, Micaela, you can, any problem can be solved.
Micaela consoled herself and did her best to repress the urge to cry, then she walked towards the door, when she saw the scene in front, she stopped her steps again….
It was the floor of the guest rooms.
She stood at the security exit which was the center of a corridor, there was a dark red carpet on the floor and a row of rooms on the opposite side, each with the same door.
Again, he got confused, he was walking towards the direction of the elevator pointed to by a sign on the wall….
It was a deep hallway with the same doors on both sides….
Before dawn, the lights were still dim….
He walked step by step and reached the front of the elevator, he pressed the door button several times, but the elevator door did not react, so he remained as if in a trance….
Yes, it was a blackout, the room was always dark, the man also tried to turn on the light, but it did not work….
At this moment, the elevator door opened, Micaela suddenly came to herself, looking around with many lights and realized that there was no blackout.
Just now, her consciousness returned to a point in the past and she was sure that it really happened before.
As she entered the elevator, she sighed deeply, then discovered that she had already gone up to the ninth floor.
She couldn’t let Alba find out that she had remembered at all, nor could Carlos!
“They surely must know something, but since they decided to keep quiet, so if I ask them, they might not tell me the truth.”
The elevator door opened and she had reached the second floor lobby.
Micaela took a few steps forward, and just saw Alba rushing down, and behind her followed by several bodyguards. Seeing Micaela actually standing in front of her, she was relieved.
Eric had not come down with Alba because there were too many people upstairs who wanted to negotiate with him.
-Micaela, why did you come down first?
Micaela answered with an excuse she had thought through:
-I met Marcos when I came out of the bathroom, and since I didn’t want to listen to him anymore, then I ran away from him quickly and went down the stairs to the emergency exit.
At least, her encounter with Marcos was true….
Alba did not doubt his words.
Micaela had always been honest, she was not good at lying, besides, a moment ago she saw Marcos come out from the direction of the bathroom.
-That Marcos is already going to be your brother-in-law, how dare he still bother you.
Alba took Micaela’s arm and they headed out:
-A little while ago, Adriana declared again in front of people that she is going to get engaged to Marcos. It’s been a long time since she first mentioned it, I’m afraid that sooner or later she’ll be dumped by that butterfly.
The car was parked at the door of the hotel, and when Micaela got out, the driver opened the door hurriedly.
The two got into the car, Micaela sat down and Alba next to her.
Micaela suddenly took Alba’s hand, and Alba unconsciously looked at her hand and noticed the bracelet on her wrist.
This was her birthday present to Micaela, and she wore it every day.
-Alba, you and Carlos are the people I trust the most.
Alba looked at her:
-I know that already Micaela.
Micaela leaned her head on Alba’s shoulder saying:
-I think you are the best gifts God has given me for my entire life.
-What you have determined you will not easily change. I know that you have always trusted me a lot, that’s why I appreciate you more than anyone else….. But Micaela, why are you talking about it now?
Micaela repressed the emotion of wanting to ask him, and casually invented an explanation:
-When I was giving the speech, I hadn’t specifically thanked you, so I want to add it now.
Alba laughed:
-Don’t make me cry, please!
Eric finally got out, and the driver started the car and drove off.
As soon as he sat down, he said cheerfully:
-Now there are many companies that want to negotiate with Brillantella, so Mr. Sarmiento will be very happy.
Obviously, Carlos would not let Micaela get too much work.
Micaela did not listen carefully to what Alba and Eric were saying, and suddenly she remembered why she changed her career and became a model, it was to be closer to Carlos….
She thought she was getting closer and closer to Carlos, but now, suddenly, she felt there was a huge gap between the two, it was no longer about the difference in identity and social position….
Back at the hotel, Micaela went straight to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the cold water wet her hair, she covered her face and cried silently….
She could already imagine why Alba decided to hide the truth from her….
She hated herself for what happened….
