Micaela didn’t care anything about who they wanted to give her to that night, it would be someone rich no doubt. And she was also sure that even if she asked Adriana and Marta, they wouldn’t tell her.
Luckily, instead of what they had planned, she found Carlos. And that was worth everything.
Micaela glanced at Raul, and there was fury in his eyes again. She looked at Adriana:
-Aunt, there is no hierarchy in professions, and drivers are human just the same. Why don’t you think about what the three of you in your family would do if my dad hadn’t welcomed them in my house? Wear the shoes of some big star?
-You!
Marta got so angry she couldn’t speak.
Alba added in a not very decent way:
-It wouldn’t be my personal opinion, Mrs. Garcia, if you’re really going to wear someone’s shoes, no one will want you, right?
After saying this, the three of them got into the car together.
Raul was very grateful, he did not expect Mr. ita Noboa to remember his humiliation, and help him to take revenge.
He closed the car door and deliberately pushed Marta, making her almost fall.
The mother and daughter watched the luxurious car slowly drive off, followed by two black luxury cars….
Both gritted their teeth in rage, particularly Adriana, whose eyes were so wide they seemed to pop out of their sockets. She clenched her fists very tightly, her long fingernails digging into her flesh!
Only then did the car sent by Mr. Zoido arrive late, a very ordinary car.
It could not compare to the lavish van they had just seen, which its four wheels already equaled this car!
Adriana was even more furious with jealousy, she almost cracked her make-up!
So Carlos had never acted against her because of Micaela?
“Do you want to face me yourself?”
Adriana took a deep breath and looked in the direction that Micaela went out….
“All right, Micaela, let us fight to the death!”
***
In the car, the three of them rejoiced at the effect of the “gift”.
After joking for a while, Micaela asked Raul to send Candy back before returning to Barrio Fanslan.
-Micaela, I’m going to Bay Aguarica!
Micaela did not remember until she heard Alba’s words, that they no longer lived together.
-Alba, I really can’t get used to your sudden move!
-I’m not used to it either, but….
Alba’s phone rang. She pulled it out and saw that it was a call from her new boyfriend.
-Hello…
Ernesto’s usual tone was heard:
-Your boyfriend is coming to pick you up from work, where are you?
Alba did not hesitate to answer:
-I’m not at the company, I’m out. I’ll send you an address, come pick me up.
Ernesto was a little surprised that her tone of command made him feel very comfortable, as if she depended on him….
He hung up the phone, Alba asked Raul to stop the car after sending the address, then said to Micaela:
-Micaela, I get off here, see you tomorrow at the company! -Don’t miss me too much!
Having said this, the car also stopped, then Alba got out.
Among the three women who had been chatting before, only she was left in the car, together with Raul. Micaela did not know what to do.
Through the car window, Micaela saw that Alba was still playing with her cell phone, she guessed she was browsing Facebook.
The car drove off slowly.
Suddenly, Micaela felt a little excited. Probably, that’s how life was, it came and went.
She began to miss Mrs. KIKI, Ivanna, and the friendly colleagues at Nubcancion. All that happened a short time ago, but it seemed like a long time had passed.
When she arrived at Barrio Fanslan, Carlos had not yet returned.
Earlier she had texted him not to pick her up, and he replied that he knew.
He trusted Raul a lot.
It was after 6. He should be back soon.
Micaela dropped her purse and hurried into the kitchen. She was stunned by what she saw in front of her:
Rice cooked in the rice cooker, Meats and cut vegetables were laid out neatly on the kitchen counter, and even the onion and ginger were washed and chopped….
Micaela understood that all this was what Carlos had asked Sofia to do.
Everything that required the use of a knife was already cut. Next to it, there was a plate of cut fruit wrapped in cling film….
This man, why be so careful and attentive …
Moved, Micaela took the apron and began to cook.
She liked to cook by herself, especially for him…
Just when Carlos arrived home, Micaela had just put all the dishes on the table.
This was what home should be like. The beloved woman, the freshly prepared food….
The woman approached him, and received the jacket from his hand quite naturally. Carlos put his arms around her and kissed her mouth….
It was quite a while before Carlos let go of her. But his hands were still around her waist, kissing her lightly swollen lips.
A little embarrassed, Micaela bowed her head slightly. But Carlos kept chasing her red lips and couldn’t get enough of kissing them….
-Carlos, it’s time for dinner. The food is getting cold…
The man’s voice sounded hoarse and low:
-I want to eat you…
Micaela’s face flushed instantly. Of course she knew what he meant. She tried to get away, but didn’t succeed, then she muttered:
-Wait a few days…
Carlos let out a sigh of some significance. He skipped her and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
He sat down at the table, Micaela had served him rice and soup. It was a rich dinner, not too much, just enough for two people.
What a little woman who had good management of expenses….
-Did you just go to the Elvira Family?
Carlos asked as he served food to Micaela.
He must have seen her movement track on the phone. Micaela nodded, smiling with arched eyebrows:
-What a spark we have! Raul drove us there in that van, followed by two other black cars. Adriana and aunt thought it was the car sent by Superb leisure to pick them up. Her expression was really funny when she opened the door and saw me there….
Carlos looked at her with affection. It was all right if it made her happy.
-How do you feel about declaring battle?
His gaze was so direct, and his love so evident, that Micaela felt a little embarrassed and ducked her head to eat her soup.
-Great!
They had passed him the pictures of her that they had taken over the past two days once they had been processed, and each one he wanted to treasure!
She was becoming more charming and more confident, and the shyness hidden in her bones was disappearing too. But when confronted with him, she could not help but feel a little embarrassment, which fascinated him very much….
After eating, Carlos insisted on washing the dishes, so Micaela had to accompany him to the side.
The cell phone placed outside rang and Micaela went out to answer it, it was Ernesto’s call.
Micaela felt a little strange, why did he call her?
Once the call was answered, he got straight to the point.
-Micaela, it’s still early, take Carlos, let’s go shopping for paintings, okay? Deal, we’ll meet at the south end of the pedestrian street in half an hour!
He hung up the phone after that.
Agreed?
Was he sure he was asking her opinion?
Micaela didn’t get a chance to say a word!
Carlos, coming out of the kitchen and seeing Micaela holding her phone in a daze, asked her:
-What’s wrong?
Micaela turned to him:
-Ernesto invites us to go shopping…
