The paper fell to the floor and Bianca’s mind was left in confusion.

The next day, on the beach.
Micaela was a little sad.
Yesterday, when she was discharged from the hospital, Carlos returned to Grupo Aguayo. Although his tone of voice and his behavior were very normal, she knew very well that Carlos was really angry.
Because last night, when he returned to Barrio Fanslan, he had dinner and stayed in the study, and then, he went straight to bed in the downstairs bedroom!
Micaela bit her lip, clenched her fist and got a little angry.
“He was doing it for the sake of his body!”
“Why can’t he take it anymore!”
-Micaela, what’s wrong? You’re not in good shape today.
Olivia, who was fixing Micaela’s makeup, asked curiously.
Only then did Micaela come to her senses.
“I came to take outdoor photos of the Davalos Family clock today!”
As she finished her makeup, Eric approached.
-Micaela, what’s wrong? Why are you acting weird today? Is it too hot today?
They were on the beach, with just the film crew, and they had built a pergola so it wouldn’t be too hot.
Micaela felt a little embarrassed that her personal issues were affecting her work.
-I’m fine, don’t worry.
Eric nodded gravely:
-Good. You have a very tight schedule. Mr. Ocampo told me that after shooting the Familia Davalos commercial, we are giving you a few days to go to Nation Fracimon. After that, we’ll be on the Super Angel Contest team soon. You don’t want to mess up your schedule.
Only then did Micaela react that Carlos had moved up the back job because he was going to accompany her to Fracimon Nation.
“You didn’t go upstairs to sleep yesterday because you were busy all night, did you?”
Micaela wanted to call him, but the photographer’s assistant came over and asked if it was time to start shooting, so she had to desist. She couldn’t let personal matters interfere with her work, so she hurried to gather her strength.
Alba walked over and looked at Micaela under the white clouds on the beach.
-Micaela is doing well.
Olivia looked at her too.
-Yes, a moment ago she wasn’t in the mood, but now she’s much happier. Listen, the photographer is complimenting her again!
Eric said cheerfully:
-Very good. This photographer is the most expensive in Teladia, but also the most moody. Models who don’t cooperate, he treats them harshly, no matter how famous they are. But models with a good camera sense, he won’t spare praise!
Olivia looked on curiously:
-But he didn’t scold Micaela just now either!
Eric looked at Micaela who was posing and said.
-If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to scold her.
-Yes, Micaela is so dedicated. She strives for perfection with every pose…. Wow, that look and the twist are so beautiful! I’ll buy myself a watch soon!
Alba looked at Bianca, who was sitting under the umbrella and walking away, and asked:
-Olivia, Bianca is particularly strange today!
They thought they were friendships between women, maybe because they like the same shade of lipstick, like Olivia and Bianca.
It could also be because they liked the same song, like Alba and Bianca.
The last time they worked together, everyone still called her Miss Bianca, after Valentine’s night together, they were all affectionate enough to call her by her nickname.
Olivia looked back:
-It’s so strange, none of them talk much or come over to check on the progress of the shoot, weren’t they all fine that night?
Olivia paused and looked at Alba.
-Yes, she doesn’t talk much, nor does she come over to check on the progress of the shoot, and wasn’t everything okay that night?
Olivia paused and looked at Alba:
-You were strange that night too. You seemed to be venting about something, is Mr. Mancebo treating you badly?
Alba looked away:
-Don’t think about it too much, I’m fine. I was just playing with Bianca, who probably decided to leave Mr. Aguayo.
Olivia nodded:
-Yes, between Mr. Aguayo and Micaela, no one can interfere. It’s a good thing she gave up earlier.
Alba lowered her head, Olivia said it, although she was referring to Bianca, to Alba, it also sounded like she was being advised.
She was aware of this truth, but, she simply could not do it.
When it was late at night, she was still thinking about him. His soft eyes fascinated her so much…-Do you think Bianca would take Tomas as Mr. Aguayo?
Alba didn’t react and asked:
-What?
Olivia leaned towards Alba’s ear with a gossipy face and said in a low voice:
-The day he drank, Tomas took Bianca, and it was natural that something happened. Anyone can see that Tomas likes Bianca. So, when she gets drunk, does Bianca hug Tomas, thinking he is Mr. Aguayo?
Olivia was surprised to see Alba actually blush.
-Is it possible that Mr. Mancebo hasn’t made love to you yet?
Alba squeezed Olivia’s waist:
-You’re a girl, what nonsense are you talking, shut up already!
Olivia laughed and bent down:
-So, are we still going to talk about it tonight?
-No!

Bianca looked at Olivia and Alba, who were playing on the beach, and then at Micaela, who was making good progress, and felt envious.
“Why did Tomas back out after we took our relationship a step further and I had fallen in love with him?”
“I don’t think Tomas is a womanizer.”
“I would never believe that!”
“But, he said he wouldn’t bother me anymore!”
“So far, he hasn’t called me or sent me a single message!”
“How sad!”
Today’s outdoor shooting was a success. In the afternoon, the shadows of the trees made the beach even cooler. Taking advantage of the gap in the shoot, Micaela and Alba squatted together on the couch, playing in the water and collecting delicate shells….
Seeing the bracelet on Alba’s wrist, Micaela asked again:
-Alba, did you find my bracelet?
-No, I don’t know where I put it. I’ll design one for you next time.
Micaela had a pitiful look on her face:
-Hey, it’s all my fault for not keeping it. Micaela, I’ll design you a better one later! At least I didn’t get lost!
Micaela laughed:
-Where can you get lost!
Bianca suddenly approached:
-Micaela.
Micaela and Alba turned around together:
-Bianca, Alba told me that you were strange today, and I felt it too. Do you have something on your mind?
