The four of them parted downstairs.
Before getting into the car, Micaela heard Olivia say:
-Leonardito, let me drive, you’ve had too much to drink?
Micaela did not hear what they said next, because Carlos had brought her to the car.
After buckling Micaela’s seat belt, Carlos was getting into the cab.
Thinking about what Olivia said, Micaela hurried to say:
-Carlos, you’ve had enough to drink too?
Carlos raised his eyebrows. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
-So, are you driving?
Well…
I didn’t have a driver’s license…
Micaela looked back, as she expected, there was the bodyguard’s car. Micaela said happily:
-Let’s get a bodyguard to drive….
-But I want to be with you alone.
Micaela paused and had to compromise.
-So, be careful.
Silly boy, how could she joke about her safety?
The ride home was uneventful.
As soon as the door closed, Carlos hugged her around the waist and led her to sit in the shoe closet, then kissed her on the lips.
Micaela smelled the faint aroma of wine, and it seemed that she was going to get drunk too.
But no, she still had something to ask him!
She pushed him away forcefully and asked hurriedly:
-What is the test that disqualified me for Super Angel?
Carlos could only see Micaela’s red lips, ignoring her question, he approached her to kiss her again….
Micaela raised her hand to stop him, and only then Carlos moved his gaze on her.
The woman was blushing, but insisted on getting the answer.
-You’ve done a lot for me, haven’t you?
Carlos kissed her palm, and Micaela pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted.
Taking her down from the closet, Carlos took her by the hand and went into the study.
He took one of the folders off the shelf, in which were the anonymous letter and the photos of that day.
He handed it to Micaela.
Micaela looked at Carlos, then looked down to leaf through it curiously.
After reading the anonymous letter, Micaela took out the photos and saw Marcos in the picture….
This was in Rioslaider. She remembered that night two years ago.
Since she was in a hurry to find someone to look at the marks on the back of her neck, she wanted to ask him for a favor when she saw Marcos. Luckily, he stopped in time….
That’s why, at the moment she turned around, she saw a man dressed in white pass by quickly. Now she thought again, it would be the one who took the pictures on the sly!
Micaela was more sure that the person behind everything, it was Adriana!
She tried so hard to stop Micaela from participating in the competition, she even took advantage of her boyfriend Marcos!
That said, should she have found a house and left the villa?
Carlos picked up the folder and put it on the table. Then he wrapped his arms around the woman, and said quietly.
-Honey, you’ve delayed long enough, it’s time to answer.
Micaela looked at him, then lowered her head slightly again.
-I know, I will.
Carlos kissed her forehead.
-I’ll see what happens.
-Why didn’t you tell me?
-I found out that Super Angel rejected you on Valentine’s Day, so I didn’t want to spoil it. And then when I saw these things, I didn’t want to upset you. You’re so smart, you’ll come to me one day and ask me.
Carlos explained everything without reservation.
No wonder all these were kept at home.
Feeling a sweetness in her heart, Micaela hugged him around the waist and buried her face in his chest.
-Thank you, Carlos.
Carlos wrapped one hand around her and lifted her chin with the other. His voice became quieter.
-To thank me, you have to do something practical, for example…..
Saying, he placed a kiss on her lips.
Micaela reddened, feeling a different atmosphere, pushed him away and hurried to the door.
-I’m going upstairs.
Seeing her figure fleeing, Carlos’s mouth curved into a seductive smile.
He did not follow her. She was already in the palm of his hand. For the moment, there was something urgent to resolve.
He sat down on the leather couch, pulled out his cell phone and called Natalia.
-Hello, Carlos, what’s up?
-Leave Leonardito alone.
The woman on the other end of the phone smiled.
-You don’t help me, and you won’t let others help me? What, you can’t watch me have sex with another man?
Carlos frowned heavily, as if her words had fouled his ears.
-His girlfriend is Micaela’s exclusive makeup artist, I don’t want her to leave.
Everything she did was only for Micaela.
Carlos clearly knew that Leonardo was not firm enough to refuse Natalia’s offer.
Olivia knew everything Leonardo had done behind her back, but Leonardo himself believed he was hiding everything perfectly. It was quite possible that she would leave Teladia when she was ready to resign, and that was not what Carlos wanted to see.
He hoped that his girlfriend could be happy in her job, surrounded by reliable and kind people.
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, the soft voice rang:
-Wow, how attractive Micaela is. But Carlos, don’t make it sound cruel, leave Leonardito alone. I didn’t put a knife in his neck to force him to act with me, we both try to win what we want. He agreed to collaborate with me yesterday.
Carlos pinched his brow.
-He will tell you later to finish your collaboration.
-Carlos, you know my character, would you let him go back on his promise? So many people at the banquet last night saw me choose him, I can’t allow that embarrassment to arise even if Familia Nunez is low profile.
Carlos smiled with contempt.
Shameful?
Whether it was shameful or not depends on the person. Familia Nunez had nothing to fear for such a small matter. Especially Natalia, who had seen more serious situation, could solve everything with little effort.
Natalia continued:
-If Leonardo really loves his girlfriend, the performance between us would have no impact on their relationship. It’s a win-win situation for both of us, why are you so worried?
-Natalia, it’s not as simple as a show, are you sure your grandfather and father won’t do anything to Olivia?
Natalia didn’t answer.
Carlos sighed and asked:
-What will it take for you to give up?
-No way, unless you come to help me.
Carlos’s eyebrows furrowed, and a certain chill was in his voice.
-Is this the end of our years of friendship?
He was silent on the other end of the line for a long time, and then he spoke:
-Let me think.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Carlos sat in silence for a long time.
He never admired anyone, especially women, but Natalia counted as one without a doubt.
She was very competent and had a high opinion of himself. What kind of man did he like so much, going to so much trouble just to accompany her boyfriend in his career?
After looking at the time, Carlos got up and went upstairs…
