Ernesto came out of the kitchen, as the food is almost ready, he was going to ask Alba to hand out the cutlery and ask Micaela to hurry Carlos. Just at that moment, he saw three women enter his room, and even close the door!
Imagining Alba’s expression when she saw the pictures on the wall, Ernesto couldn’t help but laugh. He stepped forward and raised his hand. He had never thought he would have to knock on the door one day to enter his own room.
-Alba, tell me the truth, have you still not fallen in love with Mr. Mancebo even though he has been your boyfriend for so long?
Olivia’s voice sounded very clear. It sounded like they were standing by the door….
Ernesto lowered his raised hand. A tension rose in his heart.
He also wanted to know if Alba felt any love for him, even just a little bit….
Micaela also waited attentively for his answer.
Alba looked at the pictures on the wall again, then said slowly:
-I hope I don’t get attached to him. It’s okay to stay that way.
Olivia changed her attitude abruptly, and asked her:
-You are ruthless. He loves you very much, of course he wants you to respond to his feelings. But you say he doesn’t want you to fall in love with him. Doesn’t it seem cruel to you to dominate him but not love him?
Alba’s face turned a little pale. Indeed, her act was unfair to him?
-Olivia, don’t say that, Alba has her reasons….
Olivia removed Micaela’s hand, and became even angrier.
-Love him, or leave him. Mr. Mancebo is a good match for you and there is nothing to worry about. He cares so much for you, and how can you not fall in love with him but enjoy his love. Does your heart already have an owner?
Seeing his inability to deny, Olivia’s heart fluttered instantly. Did she really get it right?
Ernesto left immediately.
He didn’t dare listen any longer, nor did he need to. That cruel woman had made it very clear that she didn’t want to fall in love with him. He knew that she still loved Carlos….
His heart ached a little, but Ernesto thought he deserved to die in pain.
He knew everything from the beginning, and yet he wrapped her up in his territory of his own free will. He asked for the abuse himself!
The doorbell rang. Ernesto I went to open the door, it turned out to be fucking Carlos!
That handsome man, it would be nice if all the women in the world were his, but why did she have eyes for him too?
Carlos frowned.
-Why do you greet me with such a warm look? Are you in love with me too?
Ernesto almost choked at Carlos’s odd humor.
-Warm look? That’s a look to kill you with!
Carlos ignored him, went inside and looked around the room. He didn’t find his girlfriend.
Ernesto could do nothing with Carlos.
He and Alba were both acting of their own free will, it wasn’t Carlos’ fault. He had to bite his teeth, thinking it would be good to ask this powerful president to do something.
-You’re just in time, go distribute the silverware, then go back to the kitchen to serve dishes.
Ernesto gave the order without ceremony and headed for the kitchen.
Carlos raised his eyebrows, left his jacket in his hand, and actually did what he asked.
***
Micaela asked Alba and Olivia to sit with her on the couch. She then explained Alba’s face blindness in detail to Olivia, fearing that she would misunderstand Alba.
Olivia listened intently to Micaela with a frown.
She believed what Micaela said because she would never lie, nor would she make up something like that to mislead her. She was also convinced of Alba’s strange illness. However, her woman’s intuition told her it was more than that.
Watching Micaela nervously defend Alba, Olivia once again realized something brilliant about Micaela.
She appreciated and trusted Alba, and never thought badly of Alba for a moment.
Because of Micaela’s kindness, in her definition, everyone would be kind at first glance.
When Alba was scolded by Romina Freixa last time, she could quickly arm herself and support her friend without hesitation….
It was hard to find such a person like Micaela. The fact that Alba had such a strange disease also surprised Olivia.
-I’m sorry, Alba, I misunderstood you. I was too excited before.
Olivia apologized sincerely.
-I envy you so much for your sweet love, and I can’t stand you trampling on Senor Mancebo’s love for you.
Trample?
Alba was somewhat remorseful and felt bad for Ernesto. It seemed that she really was ruthless.
-She didn’t do it. Actually, Alba is already a little in love with him, but she is afraid of forgetting him and that’s why she tries to repress this feeling, right, Alba?
Alba looked at Micaela. If it had been before, she would have felt guilty conscience seeing Micaela supporting her and defending for her. But at the moment, she didn’t have that feeling.
She nodded subconsciously, mulling over Micaela’s words in her mind. She was afraid of forgetting Ernesto….
There was a knock at the door.
All three realized they had been talking for so long in Ernesto’s master bedroom with the door closed.
Alba went to open the door. I thought it should be Ernesto, but it turned out it was Carlos!
He was wearing a gray business shirt with several buttons undone at the collar, and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had one hand in his pants pocket and another still in front of the door. Seeing the door open, he glanced at it with his deep-set eyes, then crossed it and looked directly at Micaela, who stood behind it.
For just one unconscious glance, Alba felt her breathing stop instantly.
She had decided to forget about it, but there were still several complex emotions pounding in her heart when she saw Carlos….
Micaela immediately moved closer. Carlos took her hand naturally, and there was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
-What are you doing in Ernesto’s room?
Subtext: What are you doing in another man’s room!
She knocked on the door of all the rooms, and finally found her in Ernesto’s…..
Micaela blushed slightly and smoothed her hair behind her ear.
-Let’s just go visit, and then chat on the sofa….
Carlos led her toward the living room.
Olivia furrowed her brows, seeing Alba’s unnatural expression, a bold thought popped into her head, but it was forcibly suppressed….
“No way, no way, how could Alba possibly have any other thoughts about Micaela’s boyfriend?”
“She’s Micaela’s best friend!”
“Olivia, you’re too sensitive!”
