What a perfect couple!
The tall, handsome man wore a black suit, revealing a cool and noble aura.
The woman was gorgeous in a white dress that accentuated her charm like an elegant flower.
The two stood together, dazzling more than the chandelier.
Charles looked at the petite girl next to him, especially at her bare shoulders. Thinking of all the men around her, he regretted not having chosen a more conservative dress.
Micaela, for her part, always remembered that she was now a celebrity and Carlos’ partner, so she had to look her best in front of everyone, so she wore a smile that made all the men present notice her.
Familia Nunez’s son and Natalia’s father were receiving guests in the room, and when they saw Carlos, they came over to greet him quickly and courteously. There were also some well-known business associates who stood directly next to Carlos and chatted with him.
All the young single ladies looked eagerly at Carlos and couldn’t help but whisper:
-How handsome this man is!
-Yes, the most handsome man in the room!
-My God! My heart is going to melt…..
-I hope Natalia doesn’t like it. -I like it!
-Don’t dream! -He’s mine!
-He’s mine! -He’s mine!
A man in a black suit who came in later couldn’t stand it any longer and cruelly explained:
-Don’t argue, don’t you see his girlfriend next to him? She’s a popular model. Are you as beautiful as she is?
That’s when those women came to their senses, disappointed.
In the last couple of days, the advertisements for Familia Davalos watches had started to advertise a lot, and the only leading lady, Micaela, they naturally recognized her. Indeed, she was very beautiful, and even more so in person than in the ads!
They had to admit that Micaela was right up there with him, they really did match. Every time she had been in the news since she became famous, it was not only for her beauty, but also for her talent. It made them all envious. If the occasion permitted, they were eager to have their picture taken with her.
Disappointed, the women looked up at the man who was speaking, recognized him and instantly shouted excitedly:
-Mr. Mancebo!
Alba, who was holding Ernesto’s arm, gave him a firm squeeze on the inside of his arm and whispered in his ear:
-Bastard! These beautiful women are so excited to see you, I’m afraid they all knew you well before!
After all, they were behaving seductively.
Ernesto smiled as he explained to them:
-Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Alba.
Those women immediately sized her up jealously….
They gave him a look of contempt.
“Although she’s pretty, we haven’t seen her, and she’s certainly of a lower class than us.”
Alba didn’t bother talking to these rich women with different ideas, and grabbed Ernesto, walking in Micaela’s direction.
Ernesto suddenly reacted and, with a single force, pulled Alba into his arms, unable to hide the joy in his voice:
-Alba you are jealous!
Alba argued:
-No! Let go of me.
-I won’t let go until you admit you are jealous.
Looking into his excited eyes, Alba unconsciously replied:
-Yes! I am jealous! -So what?
Only after a long while she reacted to what he had said and, somewhat embarrassed, tried to free herself from his embrace:
-Let go of me….
Ernesto squeezed her arms even tighter and said in her ear:
-Alba, I am very happy.
Alba stopped struggling, but could not help but ask the question:
-Honestly, are they all your old girlfriends? Did you sleep with them?
-I haven’t had sex with anyone!
“What? I mean, he’s a virgin…”
Alba froze…
Ernesto grabbed her arm and kept talking in her ear:
-I only do it with you.
Alba was completely stunned….
Ernesto felt so happy that, if he wasn’t afraid of ruining his make-up, he would have wanted to kiss her hard.
They continued walking in the direction of Carlos and Micaela.
Micaela was very happy to see Alba and immediately asked Carlos in a low voice:
-Can I play with Alba?
Hearing him chatting with those people at the mall, she pulled away and smiled, feeling her face harden.
Carlos also knew that Micaela was bored being here and gave a soft explanation:
-It’s okay.
Ernesto let go of Alba and left her next to Micaela.
Alba also finally came to her senses. She pulled Micaela to the side as if she was running away, but then unconsciously turned around and saw Ernesto standing next to Carlos with a serious face, immediately blending into the conversation of those businessmen.
Alba suddenly felt that Ernesto also looked very mature at this moment.
Micaela observed Alba, who was wearing a lavender-colored evening gown, and was very beautiful. She just looked like she was in a daze….
-Alba, what are you thinking?
Alba looked away and stopped looking at Ernesto:
-Nothing.
-If I had known you were coming, we would have come together.
Alba suddenly asked:
-Are you not curious to know why I’m here?
Micaela thought for a moment.
She had said earlier that she and Natalia knew each other, but she hadn’t mentioned that she had met her even after she had returned to the country, so she shouldn’t have been close enough to invite her to her grandfather’s birthday party.
Micaela immediately thought of another possibility and asked:
-Well, did the president of Grupo Nunez invite Ernesto?
Alba looked around and spoke:
-Probably in all of Teladia, the men that Don Nunez considers that can live up to his precious granddaughter and who are not married should all be here. period! They are those who are not married, but not single.
The corners of Micaela’s mouth gently hooked.
That is, it’s the men who aren’t married, even if they have girlfriends.
-This shows that Ernesto is one of the young men that Don Nunez likes, but the fact that he brought you here is a very clear sign of attitude.
